Chapter 74, do something beyond friendship in the name of friendship
Yulong Restaurant is the most high-end private restaurant in the city, similar to Qiao Xiaoqiao's gym, which was rebuilt from the former factory compound. However, the difference is that Qiao Xiaoqiao's gym was not demolished and rebuilt, but only renovated on the basis of the original factory. On the contrary, in addition to the courtyard, the courtyard is still so big, all the inside has been renovated, the original factory building has been demolished, and it has been built into the shape of an ancient inn, with a total of four floors, except for the first floor and the backyard, the upper three floors are all private rooms.
Bai Lu took Qiao Xiaoqiao to park the car in the parking lot of the courtyard, and when he entered the door, he was greeted by a cheongsam, politely asked Bai Lu if he had made an appointment, and after Bai Lu reported the name of the private room, he led the way in front, and knocked on the door of Bai Shuding's box, and when it came out of the inside, he stood aside and made a gesture of please to Bai Lu and Qiao Xiaoqiao.
Bai Lu pushed the door in, the box is also antique, the decoration is almost all based on wood, wooden tables, wooden chairs, wooden sofas, and nothing else, unlike some antique hotels, obviously the box is decent, and it is very strange to add a TV air conditioner and a jukebox.
"What's going on?" Bai Lu walked around the room. "You're alone? So what kind of meal do you invite us to? ”
Bai Zhu took out a box and handed it to Bai Lu, Bai Lu opened it and saw that it was a women's watch: "Give it to me?" It's my birthday? Why do you all love to give watches? Besides, this is a women's model. ”
"The beauty you think." Baizhu said with a smile. "Help me see if it's okay, this is for Zhang Lan."
"Oh, I said." Bai Lu was suddenly, and then the gossip's little eyes flashed: "Hooked up so soon?" ”
Bai Zhu looked at Bai Lu speechlessly: "Your study is in vain, what does it mean to hook up?" Asking friends to have dinner together is called hookup? ”
Bai Lu retorted to him: "It's normal to ask friends for dinner, and it's okay to ask female friends for dinner, the question is who will give a watch to a friend for dinner?" I see you, you just want to do something beyond friendship in the name of friendship. ”
Baizhu bit his upper lip, a little embarrassed, is his thoughts really so obvious? The other thing is, when will my brother be able to say this? He wasn't like that before.
"Look, let me get it right." Bai Lu continued with a very professional expression. "You are just like those adolescent boys, you want to ask people to dinner without directly confessing, under the guise of friends, and you also call the two of us to want to cover up, you don't want to invite your brother to dinner, you want to use your brother as a wingman."
Baizhu was stunned for a moment: "What wingman?" ”
"The wingman doesn't understand? You know that fighter jets never fight alone, right? There are wingmen next to them. ”
"Where did you learn this?" Baizhu couldn't laugh or cry. "You're right."
"Don't count, I'm right." Bai Lu laughed. "Brother, it's no problem for me to be your wingman, the question is what good do I have?"
Baizhu asked, "Are you so direct?" ”
Bai Lu waved his hand: "Cough, my own brother, why are you making such a fuss." ”
Baizhu complained: "Brother, do you still want benefits from me?" ”
"One yard to one yard." White Road. "If you want to say that you are so poor that you can't eat, I can give you all a dime, but now you have to chase your girlfriend, this is different."
"What's the difference?"
"You don't care what the difference is, just say what's in it for me, right?"
Baizhu leaned back and said with a smile: "Okay, you say, what do you want?" ”
"Ten thousand dollars." Bai Lu stretched out his hand. "Just cash."
"Where am I going to get you 10,000 yuan in cash?" Atractylodes heyce. "I thought what you wanted, 10,000 dollars? Are you short of that 10,000 yuan? ”
"There's no shortage." Bai Lu said confidently. "But I've done something for you, don't you have to pay?"
"Okay, I'll get it for you after eating, okay?"
"Well, you just wait to be the groom, if I don't help you take it today, I won't accept the money."
Qiao Xiaoqiao suddenly asked, "You understand very well?" ”
Bai Lu was stunned: "What do you understand?" ”
"Chase the girl." Qiao Xiaoqiao looked at Bai Lu with a smile: "Listen to what you mean, it seems to be very professional, am I also being tricked by you?" ”
"I don't understand what you're saying." Bai Lu took a sip of tea and said with an innocent face. "This is about my brother's lifelong happiness, and it has nothing to do with whether the routine is a routine or not."
"Really?"
"Yes."
……
The three of them chatted for more than twenty minutes, and the box door was knocked again, and then the door opened, and Zhang Lan walked in.
This household name can be said to be every man's dream lover...... One. Let's just say it's one of them, it's also quite high-ranked, doesn't it mean that men are not single-minded, after all, it's a dream lover, and it's impossible to achieve. Just like many women's brother today is a little fresh meat, tomorrow's brother will become another little fresh meat.
Zhang Lan didn't dress up like she did on the day she attended the charity auction today, just ordinary casual sneakers, a baseball cap on her head, and sunglasses. She wore light makeup on her face, looking like a big sister next door.
Bai Zhu gave an introduction, Zhang Lan greeted Bai Lu and Qiao Xiaoqiao, her voice was no different from that on TV, it was very good.
"I was in a hurry last time, and I didn't say hello, so it's nice to see you again."
"Sister-in-law, you are too polite, the family doesn't speak two words."
Sister-in-law? Who's sister-in-law?
As soon as Bai Lu opened his mouth, Zhang Lan was stunned, and Bai Shu was also stunned for a moment, and then gave Bai Lu a look.
Wingman? You call this a wingman? Aren't all people's wingmen auxiliary operations? You're going to fire when you come up? You're not a wingman, you're a bomber.
"Zhang Lan, you ...... Don't listen to my brother's nonsense, he ......"
"Come on, you grinding and chirping, it's not happy at all." Bai Lu interrupted Baizhu and looked at Zhang Lan and said. "The fact is, my brother likes you, but he doesn't dare to confess to you, and then he asked you out under the guise of having a light meal with a friend, and he was afraid of embarrassment, so he called me and my girlfriend by the way."
Bai Lu handed the watch to Zhang Lan: "My brother bought it, and I'm going to give it to you." ”
Zhang Lanwan smiled, but took the watch, opened it and looked at it: "Thank you, it's beautiful." ”
"Oh?" Bai Lu said with a smile. "So, you're not disgusted with my brother, are you?"
Zhang Lan also nodded generously, and glanced at Baizhu, whose nervous and embarrassed face was stiff: "I thought of it before I came." ”
"Look, isn't that what it is?" Bai Lu snapped his fingers. "Waiter, let's serve."
Let's just say, how can a woman who can thrive in the entertainment industry be a brainless vase, Baizhu's careful thinking has long been known, but she is here, what does this mean? It shows that she also means this.
There is a layer of window paper between the two people, and then the two of them stand on both sides of the window paper face to face, and no one will pierce it, and Bai Lu's role today is a stick, piercing the stick of the window paper between the two of them.
There is no need to make things so complicated at all, just like Bai Lu chasing Qiao Xiaoqiao, just open your mouth directly.
The meal was very happy, after all, the three of their old white brothers, sisters, sisters and brothers were all single, but the eldest sister Bai Yang was not easy to say, her boyfriend, Bai Lu always felt that something was wrong, and he also checked, that guy is really a wildlife photographer.
After eating, everyone was in no hurry to leave, sitting there drinking tea and chatting.
Zhang Lan suddenly looked at Bai Lu and asked with a smile, "Don't you remember me?" ”
Bai Lu was stunned: "What do you mean?" Do we know each other? ”
Bai Zhu reminded Bai Lu on the side: "When I was a child, the community where our family lived. ”
Bai Lu searched his memory for a while, and then said in surprise: "Isn't it?" Are you the sister who repaired the heating pipes in the community, and you took the lead in jumping into the pit? ”
Zhang Lan smiled brightly: "Remember? I thought you had forgotten about it. ”
"I remember it now." Bai Lu sighed. "If I don't really remember, I haven't seen it in almost 20 years, and I can't even forget the names of my elementary school classmates. If it weren't for the fact that you took the lead and jumped into the pit so impressively, I wouldn't have remembered it...... But then this change is too big, who would have thought that you would be such a popular star, and you would be like that when you were a child. ”
If Bai Zhu didn't remind him, Bai Lu really wouldn't recognize it. You just say, the pit dug to repair the heating pipe is at least two meters deep, Zhang Lan will have short hair like a tomboy, and she is the eldest sister in the group of children aged seven to thirteen in the community, and the poplar is still young, less than ten years old, and the eldest sister has not yet taken her turn.
is such a tomboy, but now he has become a big star that everyone knows and everyone knows, which is very inspirational.
"You've changed a lot." Zhang Lan said. "I remember when you were a child, you didn't like to talk, you just ran around behind your brothers and sisters, I didn't expect to be able to talk so much now."
"Ahem, it's all nonsense." Bai Lu waved his hand, saw that the time was more than eight o'clock, gave Qiao Xiaoqiao a look, and said, "Then let's go, you can go to the world of two." ”
After speaking, Bai Lu didn't forget to tell Bai Zhu: "Remember to give me the money, cash." ”
Zhang Lan wondered, "Do you want to use cash?" I have some cash in my bag, not a lot, two thousand yuan, if you want to use it, you can take it. ”
"You can't pay for it." Bai Lu grinned. "I have to get my brother to give it to me...... Okay, let's go, I won't delay you. ”
When Bai Lu left, Zhang Lan asked curiously, "What did you two brothers say?" What money can't I give? Why didn't I get it? ”
"Don't listen to his nonsense." Baizhu said depressedly. "This kid has been like a different person since he quit his job last year and came home."
Zhang Lan was not distorted by the topic: "It's good, it's a lot more cheerful than when I was a child...... What kind of money is it to fall to the ground? Are you betting on me? ”
"Not really." Atractylodes is helpless. "It's just that this kid knew I wanted to ...... as soon as he came in Well, knowing that I wanted to chase you, he said he would help me, and then asked me for 10,000 yuan, saying that he was to be my wingman. ”
Zhang Lan was stunned for a moment, and then giggled: "Wingman? That's an interesting word...... By the way, I saw that movie made by your brother, and it was really good at the box office, and the movie was very good. ”
"He's just joking." Baizhu Dao. "He now thinks of a play is a play, and when I changed the car to drive during the New Year, I felt comfortable driving, and I bought one back when I turned around, did you see him driving today? Two and a half days fresh. ”
"It's a joke, but how many people dream of things but can't ask for it." Zhang Lan is professional in this area. "The plot of the movie is really average, it is a story of revenge, but the rhythm is very good, I looked at the cast and crew at the end, he is still a screenwriter, very talented, I have to find him to write me a script when I go back."
"You asked Bai Lu to write you a script?" Atractylodes is like a fantasy. "Are you sure he's going to write this? When he was in school, he struggled to write essays. ”
"I'm sure." Zhang Lan said. "Maybe he can't write the script, but he writes the story very well...... The movie he made, you can say that the director made it well, but the plot of a movie is good or bad, the director only accounts for a small part, and the screenwriter accounts for most of the credit. ”
"Then you can contact him later." Baizhu still didn't believe that his brother had this ability.
"Don't wait to turn back, I'll call him back now."
Zhang Lan is actually an acute person, and the dignified elegance she gives may just be a personality, but her character will not collapse compared to her character.
Bai Lu went home, and received a call from Zhang Lan again, saying that he should go back again, there was something wrong.
Let Qiao Xiaoqiao go upstairs by himself, and Bai Lu ran back again.
"Sister Lan, if you don't tell me earlier, I'm home." Bai Lu sat down and grabbed a handful of melon seeds. "What's the matter?"
"I've watched your movie, it's very good." Zhang Lan didn't talk in circles, and got straight to the point. "I have plans to transform, can you help me write a script?"
"Huh?" Bai Lu looked confused. "I'll help you write the script?"
"That's right." Zhang Lan nodded. "Literary films, romance films, I play movies of this style...... Let's put it this way, it used to be very popular, but now in the eyes of young people, this is what you call a bad movie. Not to mention how many awards I have won, judging the quality of a movie is actually very simple, whether an audience likes it or not, and the second is whether the box office is high, I am already over thirty years old, and if I don't transform, I can only play the role of stepmother and evil mother-in-law in the future. ”
Bai Lu really couldn't remember to copy it for a while...... No, it should be a suitable movie for Zhang Lan, but refuse, I'm embarrassed to refuse, Zhang Lan is also a friend when he was a child, and now he is his brother's girlfriend, and he will still be his sister-in-law in the future.
"That'...... Let me think about it, okay? Bai Lu said. I don't have a clue right now...... Or, what type do you want to play? ”
"Yo, and this good thing? What else can I choose? Zhang Lan was a little surprised and quipped: "Then I'm welcome?" I want to try comedy or action movies, don't look at me like that, I didn't study kung fu, but I came from a drama school, a female martial artist. ”
"Female martial artist? That's amazing. Bai Lu was stunned, didn't he hold it and say, most of the martial artists are men, and there are very few female martial artists, but it is not nothing, and very few girls go to learn from female martial artists.
"How's that, do you have a clue?" Zhang Lan asked with a smile.
"Not yet." After thinking about it, Bai Lu said. "I recently wrote a comedy story, and I've asked the screenwriter to adapt the script, and it's probably about the same, but there is a supporting role in it, not the main supporting role, you can play it, are you interested?"
"Yes." Zhang Lan said curiously. "What type?"
"Play my mother." Bai Lu smiled awkwardly, and then added. "It's not a stepmother, you have to make up a lot of makeup, can you accept it?"
"You're acting?" Wang Lan's curiosity intensified. "That's good, when can I read the script?"
"I'll ask." Bai Lu took out the phone and called Dou Yingxia, Dou Yingxia was still as sober as ever, he was very polite when he answered Bai Lu's phone, his posture was very low, and he listened to Bai Lu ask how the script was, and immediately asked Bai Lu, and in less than five minutes, the script was sent, saying that the first draft was finished, and then the details were deducted, and I hope that Bai Lu's original work will give guidance.
Bai Lu sent a copy of the script to Zhang Lan, and then the two of them hugged their mobile phones and read it.
Baizhu sat next to him and had nothing to do: "Is it convenient for me to show it too?" Let me also appreciate and admire your talent? ”
"Don't forget the 10,000 yuan." Bai Lu also sent one to Baizhu.
A good screenwriter, he knows what kind of plot will bring the best effect, the story given by Bai Lu is very short, like an outline, but the screenwriter writes a complete script through the outline.
The screenwriter I found this time is not bad, and the plot is no different from that of the previous life, but the plot in some places is a little blunt, and a lot of blunt stalks are used, which is a common problem in comedy movies now. Probably the audience doesn't want to laugh, and the screenwriter wants to open the audience's mouth to make the audience laugh.
"This script is interesting." Zhang Lan soon finished reading it. "It's just that some places look a little awkward, too stiff."
"Sister Lan is professional." Bai Lu praised. "It's okay, I'll just go back and change it...... What do you think? Have an idea for this role? ”
"Okay, the story is interesting." Zhang Lan professionally deleted the script, raised her eyebrows, and said, "Don't you let your brother come to the role of Zhang Yang?" ”
Bai Lu and Bai Zhu were stunned when they said this, and Bai Zhu waved his hand again and again: "No, no, I can't come." ”
"I think it's interesting." Zhang Lan pouted with atractylodes. "Go and try it, and there are not many scenes, if you shoot your scene first, you shouldn't be able to use it for a day, and you won't be able to delay your business."
was looked at by Zhang Lan's watery eyes, and Baizhu couldn't stand it: "I...... Oh, I won't. ”
Bai Lu knows Bai Zhu very well, except for how busy he is in the company every day, he is really shy.
That's right, it's shy, Baizhu's personality is actually a little introverted, otherwise he wouldn't be thirty years old and haven't found a girlfriend, you can let him speak at the group meeting, if you let him perform in front of the camera, he is probably so nervous that he can't speak.
"Sister Lan, don't tease my brother." Bai Lu relieved Baizhu, but he also saw that Zhang Lan was only deliberately teasing Baizhu.
"Okay, don't tease him." Zhang Lan said with a smile. "You play the leading role? That heroine must be your girlfriend? ”
"yes." Bai Lu said. "She has some ideas about this line of work, so she will play and play first, and then talk about it."
"Okay, then it's decided?" Zhang Lan said. "I'll keep this role."
"Definitely, Sister Lan, you have spoken, can I give it to others?" Bai Lu said. "You're going to transform, I have to think about the script again."
"There's no rush to this."
After chatting for a while, the three of them dispersed, Zhang Lan didn't drive, and he didn't call the agent when he left, he got into Baizhu's car directly, Bai Lu watched the two of them get into the same car and laughed there, laughing quite loudly. Zhang Lan was very generous, waved goodbye to Bai Lu, and Bai Zhu glared at Bai Lu fiercely, but even if it was dark and the light was not good, Bai Lu could clearly see the embarrassment and redness on Bai Lu's face.
……
Nothing was said all night.
The next morning, Bai Lu got up at seven o'clock, the cold came and went quickly, although it was not good, it was only a slight runny nose, and after eating breakfast and taking the medicine, Qiao Xiaoqiao went to work, Bai Lu followed the doctor's instructions and Qiao Xiaoqiao's words, and continued to recuperate at home.
turned on the computer and was about to find a game to play, White's message came, and before Bai Lu could look at it, the phone rang.
"Shiro, are you up?"
"You haven't slept yet?"
"It's only nine o'clock, why do you go to bed so early?" White was weird. "The nightlife has just begun, isn't it a waste of life to go to bed at this time?"
Good, that's White.
"Don't talk nonsense, there's something to say." Bai Lu turned on the computer and pondered what game to play.
"I'm getting married, you ......"
Syllable!
Bai Lu hung up the phone directly and threw the phone on the table.
Tie the knot? You're married to a yarn!
rewarded this bastard that he was going to get married, and he deceived himself because he was bored and wanted to find someone to play with him. Still coming? It is impossible for a Saint Seiya to be defeated by the same move.
The phone rang again, Bai Lu broke it, the phone rang again, Bai Lu broke it again, and White persevered.
"Are you crazy?" Bai Lu didn't have a good airway. "If you're bored, go to Miami Beach to see a bikini, or find your celebrity model...... We have a story called the wolf, have you heard it? ”
There was silence on the other side of the phone for a long time: "What story?" Does it sound good? ”
Bai Lu: "......"
"Leave the story alone." White said. "Don't hang up with me, what I said this time is true, I really didn't lie to you!"
Bai Lu sneered: "Do you think I will believe it?" ”
"I swear, I swear to the Buddha!"
"Stop." Bai Lu laughed angrily. "The Buddha can't control your piece."
"Then I swear to God." White's tone was particularly formal, giving Bai Lu the sense that he was holding up his finger to the sky over there. "It's definitely true this time, she's pregnant."
When it comes to pregnancy, White's tone is particularly low.
"Give some money and knock it out." Bai Lu came up with an idea very ruthlessly, isn't this the trick that their group of rich second generations are used to? No, he himself is also a rich second generation.
I'm not as good as their scum! Bai Lu explained to himself in his heart.
"Not this time." White sighed. "She's not an ordinary person."
"Ordinary people are fine? You're not a human being. "Bai Lu is a little curious." What is the identity of an ordinary person? Disney's princess on the run? ”
"How do you know?" White was surprised. "You installed surveillance in my house?"
"Isn't it?" Bai Lu was even more surprised. "Is it really a princess? Which country? ”
This reminds Bai Lu of the movie plot of his previous life, Audrey Hepburn, his dream lover, a "Roman Holiday" is incomprehensible.
"French."
"You're kidding me, aren't you?" Bai Lu is angry and doesn't fight in one place. "Are there princesses in France? Black? ”
"No, no, no." White hurriedly explained. "Swedish, but we met in France...... Don't blame me, really, France, you know, that place is so romantic, we had another drink and the atmosphere was all there, right? ”
