Chapter 174: [Not Qualified]
'Fox? β
If you think about it carefully, Zhou Jie's fox demon is indeed very famous. β
Because I tried my best to play the role of the fox demon and observed the fox's habits, did I unconsciously affect it? β
Lu Zhengyi looked at Zhou Jie in front of him, talking about his experience generously, and unconsciously thinking in his mind.
It's very similar to the way Mr. Yu grew up. β
Most of them are actors who love drama.
But compared to Yu Wenxiu, by communicating with himself, try to play himself, until his consciousness is conveyed to the past.
Zhou Jie in front of her is more pure.
She turned herself into a fox demon.
"It's not easy to find the same person."
Zhou Jie stirred the porridge in front of her with a soup spoon, "The entire Tang Kingdom is so big and there are so many people. β
"As a result, with my ability, after searching for so many years, I found two people like me."
"And you still took the initiative to deliver it to the door."
She said as she brought the spoon of porridge to her mouth.
There is no lip gloss embellishment, the lips with natural lip color are against the soup spoon, and the light lean white porridge is sent into the mouth along the tilt of the spoon.
Even if it's just a simple action, it has an inexplicable charm.
"But this cat you have looks cute."
But soon, Zhou Jie set her eyes on the black cat sitting on the table and also licking the rice, "But you spoil it too much, pets on the table are very unruly." β
The black cat ate silently without even looking at her.
"Ayong is my family."
Lu Zhengyi's gaze was withdrawn from the soup spoon she was holding, and she replied helplessly, "I feel that if Senior Zhou didn't choose to be an actor and change his career to eat and broadcast, he might be able to rush out of the country and face the world." β
"And the description of taking the initiative to deliver it to the door sounds strange."
Compared to the cultural differences between movies and TV series.
There are almost no cultural boundaries in the genre, and people from different countries will want to try the cuisines of other countries.
And with Zhou Jie's ability, starting a live broadcast and sitting in front of the camera to eat every day, the attention she can get may be greater than her hard work to be an actor.
"Just call me Sister Jie."
Zhou Jie smiled and withdrew her gaze from the black cat, looked at him and replied, "In terms of appearance, I don't think I'm much better than you." β
"But you're always older than me in terms of age."
Lu Zhengyi hesitated, "Sister Jie...... I always feel that the relationship has become closer all of a sudden, because I have the same sound as my sister. β
"Even though I said that, there was nothing polite in your tone because I was a senior in the deduction industry." Zhou Jie's hoarse voice is very unique, "In the process of our conversation, you are only purely changing the title. β
"Actually, you've always been in a state of equality in terms of attitude."
"Putting aside the gap in age and social status."
From the time they met until now, she behaved casually.
Although, she is already a woman in her forties.
is also a big predecessor in the entertainment industry.
But Zhou Jie and Lu Zhengyi, who are so young that they are about to have two rounds, have the same attitude from the beginning.
However, the other party's attitude also surprised her.
Sure enough, from the moment we became cultivators, did we distinguish ourselves from ordinary people? Cognitively.
"So ......"
Lu Zhengyi tried to get the atmosphere of chatting out of this kind of chatter, "What is the reason why Sister Jie has been insisting on meeting me?" β
"If I'm looking for you, does there have to be a reason?" Zhou Jie replied with an embarrassed face, "If you have to say it, it may be because you are very lonely." Suddenly, he changed from an ordinary actor to a special person, and had to stay away from the crowd. β
"If it's you, it should be understandable, right? After all, another practitioner I had met could understand my words. β
"I'm not like a normal person anymore, and it would be dangerous for others to continue to live like before."
Speaking of this, she paused, "Of course, I don't say this to express how good a person I am, someone who doesn't want to hurt others. β
"It's just that I don't want my particularity to be exposed, and I know very well what things will look like if my particularity is known to other people."
Caught for research, or treated as an outlier or something.
Even if you have special abilities, most people don't have them, and only a very few people have them.
If you can't stand on the top, you can only be expelled.
"Just want to get to know each other?"
Sitting opposite, Lu Zhengyi began to pick up the soup spoon to eat, and his tone was very casual, "Of course you can." β
"Although I don't think there is any essential change between being a practitioner and an ordinary person, since you are in need, I can be your ...... Companion, I used such a word. β
"But do you know any other practitioners? Can you give me a way to get in touch? β
Before he knew it, his interest had vanished.
The smile on Zhou Jie's face was even kinder, and she replied:
"Of course, I also know a monk who also embarked on this path by chance."
"But the contact information, I'm sorry, I may not be able to give it to you directly, I need to get his consent first."
"But speaking of which, would it be convenient for you to reveal your changes? I'm here to be honest. β
Lu Zhengyi's eyes were calm, and he replied while eating, "Is there a change?" Exorcise evil spirits. β
"Hmm...... That's why you started making horror movies? β
Zhou Jie's eyes were fixed on Lu Zhengyi, "So it's been at least two years since you embarked on this road, right?" β
"I've been gone for six years. It's complicated, it's been so long. β
"Now, justice, you should be able to feel that lonely atmosphere in the past two years, right? After all, for us, the money that the people in society need most is no longer of much use. β
After settling the portion of food in front of him, Lu Zhengyi put the spoon aside, "It's not so lonely." β
"Is it because the interest in self-change has not passed?" Zhou Jie looked like a person who had come over, "When you get used to your changes, you should feel lonely, and you always feel out of place with your surroundings." β
"Actually, it's fine."
Lu Zhengyi picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth.
"But you should already be able to feel it, we are different from ordinary people."
Zhou Jie looked at him seriously, "Although individually, we may be stronger than them. β
"But in terms of numbers, we are inferior to theirs."
"In this case, justice, as a sane person, what do you think we should decide?"
Lu Zhengyi looked at her in a trance, and a breath welled up in his chest.
Finally, this breath came out of the mouth, "Alas......"
He shook his head and stood up.
And on the table, the black cat, who had been waiting for a long time after eating, climbed up his shoulder very smoothly.
"Perhaps, you may have misunderstood something, Senior Zhou."
Lu Zhengyi stood there, his tall body like a wall, completely covering the light, and looked at her with his head down regretfully, "I can probably guess what you want to do." β
"But unfortunately, your qualifications are not enough."
"Since you don't want to tell me the cultivator you know, why don't I introduce a so-called 'kind' to you."
And on his shoulder, the black cat yawned lazily, and the pair of yellow and clear beast eyes glanced at her and closed it.
Sitting opposite, Zhou Jie, who was still very calm, slammed suddenly.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"I should say that someone finally has such an idea."
Lu Zhengyi walked home slowly, and followed Xiao Zhongyong on his shoulder to speak, "Again, because the people I met before are people who don't have any ideas." β
is like the first tour guide Wang to see, Xu Bingcai who contacted by phone, and the Taoist in the Taoist temple......
Although they all have special abilities, the first two still maintain an ordinary life.
One is retired, but once joined the rescue team.
One is an old Chinese medicine practitioner who occasionally treats patients.
For them, if they are unaware ordinary people who meet them, most of them will only praise them for being born to do this.
As for the Guanshan Daoist, although he did not continue to live an ordinary life like the previous two.
But he also appeared as a man who maintained order.
Like Zhou Jie, it should be the first.
"Meow!"
Xiao Zhongyong reminded.
"Huh? Me? β
Lu Zhengyi smiled, "My words...... Well, no, I'm trying hard to fit in. β
"Meow meow."
"Ah, you're really welcome to speak, but I hope to cultivate myself more than pulling people directly, there is a difference between the two, right?"
"Meow!"
"Yes, there are differences, of course."
A man and a cat were talking, walking slowly from the street towards their home.
Anyway, just after dinner, it was a night walk.
And along the way, no one paid attention to them, and no one felt strange about this person-to-cat communication, as if they couldn't see it at all.
What does Zhou Jie want to do?
It's probably a huddle for warmth or something like that, or a small group or something like that.
I want to gather people who have special abilities like me.
Even, Zhou Jie plans to be in the first place.
Although she used the excuse of 'getting the consent of others', she rejected Lu Zhengyi's desire to contact another cultivator in her mouth.
But if you combine the back, it is not difficult to think clearly, Zhou Jie intends to become the 'only' bridge.
The scarcity of practitioners means that it is difficult to find the same kind among each other. β
Like her, it is not uncommon for her to be alienated from other 'ordinary people' around her.
At this time, if Zhou Jie becomes the only bridge for them to communicate, over time, she will be able to unconsciously become the main body of the team.
It gives people the impression that she has a wide range of contacts and knows many cultivators.
But unfortunately, she found the wrong person.
In the past, the number of practitioners has been decreasing, but it is not non-existent.
It's not enough to say that let Zhou Jie be the center.
β¦β¦
Yu Wenxiu's change was something that no one else in the Meici cat crew expected.
It's like a white swan mixed in a flock of ugly ducklings, obviously everyone is so ordinary and ordinary, but one person suddenly stands out and becomes different.
[Yu Wenxiu: Actually, I don't know how I did it, but I tried hard to think about what Director Lu would do when he encountered the same situation, and I got in touch unconsciously, I can only say that it feels like it. γ
[Yu Wenxiu: No, I don't have much time for meditation and practice. γ
[Yu Wenxiu: Are there specific changes?] Well...... I feel a lot better, and some small problems like the cervical spine and lumbar spine have all disappeared. γ
β¦β¦
Editing room,
Lu Zhengyi looked at the group chat on his phone helplessly.
Inside, whether it was the person in front of him or the other people who were resting far away, everyone was very active in the group chat and asked Yu Wenxiu about how to become a cultivator.
But just like the original Wang tour guide, Yu Wenxiu was also at a loss as to why he had changed.
"99+ news?"
Lu Zhengyi couldn't help but look at the three people in front of him, "Hey, hey, three, you've all been fishing for a few days, it's time to work seriously, right?" β
I knew that I should have waited for the editing work to finish before leaking the news.
Now these three work for eight hours and fish in the group chat for seven hours.
And this enthusiasm has not been for a day or two, but has been going on for four or five days.
"Director Lu, in this situation, how are you going to let us come down to work with peace of mind?"
Li Feng took his mobile phone, turned around and asked, "This is to invite God to come up, right?" β
"Although Teacher Yu has always said that he is playing, doesn't it sound the same as those beggars and spirit children?"
"Could it be that in ancient times, those people also communicated with some special spirits because some people had similar abilities, so that folk culture such as wandering gods was inherited."
Lu Zhengyi sighed.
"I said, it's the end of October."
He reminded, "According to the release time we originally scheduled, it is already very late, and even the post-processing has not been completed. β
"If it continues to delay like this, I'm afraid that this film will really be released during the Spring Festival."
"Before November, the post-production of this film must be made, and this is the deadline I have given you."
Although it was said that when it was first scheduled, Lu Zhengyi's psychological expectations did not really want to be released during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
But by the end of October, the post-processing work had not been completed, and it was too late.
Of course, on the one hand, the reason is also because after Wang Xiaoxu changed, the filming progress of their crew increased by a short time.
"Alright, alright, it's almost time to work."
As the leader of the later group, Xu Feng saw that his good brother had given him a deadline for work, and finally took his eyes off his mobile phone with difficulty, "If it is completed before November, the daily workload will be heavier......"
He began to arrange.
Although the other two were still a little reluctant, they still had no choice but to put down their mobile phones.
To be honest, in fact, the analysis of so many days, from the entire incident that Yu Wenxiu encountered, to her every conversation, and even her feelings before and after her upper body......
What they can understand, they basically ask clearly.
Yu Wenxiu didn't hide it, as long as the filming over there was over and he had his spare time, he would answer their questions in the group.
But in reality, apart from making them more envious and jealous, such an analysis does not do much.
It's like many people feel that there are some mysterious mysteries hidden in the 'Tao Te Ching', 'Induction Sutra', and 'Doom Sutra', but no matter how much manpower and material resources are spent trying to interpret the classics left by their predecessors, there is still no way to understand anything.
Every word and sentence in it is translated into an easy-to-understand translation that even a three-year-old child can understand.
But the so-called mysteries and mysteries are not accessible to anyone.
Feel.
For Wenxiu's words to explain, it probably means that the truth has been memorized in his mind, but it feels like it is not in place yet.
In the process of life experience, in a certain event, you happen to brew your feelings according to reason, and you will be enlightened.
And Lu Zhengyi watched the three of them finally start to work, and nodded with satisfaction.
More than any other event, the release of the First Commandment was the most important event in his heart.
No, it's not.
If from a life point of view, the first important event should be the next meeting between the parents of both parties.
And the release of the First Commandment should be the first important thing in work.
Thinking of this, Lu Zhengyi opened a group chat called 'Lu Family'.
Although it is a family group chat, there are actually only three people.
And the chat history is almost non-existent.
Lu Zhengyi pulled up on the blank chat box, and it took a while for WeChat to pull out the conversation from the local message that had been several years ago.
On the day I just graduated, my parents wished themselves a happy graduation in a group chat.
After that, even if they talked, they were more likely to make phone calls.
It seems that there has never been a family making noise in a group chat and sending emojis to each other.
"@εζ §δΊδΈζ¬‘ε¬ηΈθ―΄, do you have any plans to retire, can you come back next month?"
Lu Zhengyi leaned on the sofa and edited on his phone with a calm face.
After thinking for a while, he added a 'mom' title at the end and sent the message out.
For a long time, the group chat was quiet, as if he was alone.
Lu Zhengyi turned off the screen of his mobile phone, he can understand it, after all, people are abroad, and there is still a difference in time to follow here.
Usually, it was more his mother who contacted him.
"Ding-dong-"
The prompt for a reply to the message sounds.
Lu Zhengyi turned the screen back on rather unexpectedly.
However, in the group chat, the person who replied to the message was not the mother, but the father.
"Your mother may not come back until the New Year, and after the New Year, she should plan to take a vacation at home."
Lu Yiyong first explained for Liu Huiyun, and then asked, "What's going on next month?" β
Although he and Liu Huiyun are considered to be blind date marriages, there is no so-called emotional foundation, but since marriage, the relationship has maintained well, and there is occasional contact.
"It's nothing, I have a partner I'm going to take home to show you, and I'm going to get married." Lu Zhengyi edited the message, "But if you don't have time, I can go and meet her parents first, and then let her come to our house during the Chinese New Year." β
Two messages rang out, his fingers tapping lightly across the screen.
In the group chat, there was not a single new message.
It took about a minute or two for Lu Yiyong's phone call to come directly.
"Stinky boy, I secretly got a girlfriend, and now I'm ready to get married, so I just report to my family, right?"
His breathless voice rang from his phone.
This long-lost tone made Lu Zhengyi couldn't help but pluck out his ears and hold the phone a little farther away.
To be honest, it's been a long time since I've felt yelled at like this.
The last time I was yelled, it was still ...... When photographing the old corpse in the mountain village.
At that time, he called to persuade himself to go back and mix his qualifications, which was also the same tone.
Thinking about it carefully, after watching his first film, and after the film was released, my father didn't talk to himself in such a tone.
"It's a bit complicated, our marriage is special, but all in all, I'll get it done."
Lu Zhengyi replied vaguely.
"Complex? Special? β
Lu Yiyong asked in a deep voice, "Hey, stinky boy, marriage is not a trivial matter." β
"I've never seen marriage as a trivial matter."
Lu Zhengyi replied calmly, "All in all, I will think things through." β
"Have you met with the woman's parents?"
Lu Yiyong continued to ask, "What about the meeting ceremony, the door-to-door ceremony, and the engagement?" β
"I haven't seen it yet."
Lu Zhengyi glanced at the three people who were pricking up their ears over there, picked up a pack of tissues on the table and threw it over, "The meeting gift and the door-to-door gift, I will discuss with her to buy it, as for the engagement, we plan to get married directly." β
"After all, this is something to be bought for the woman's parents, how can the woman be mixed with it." Lu Yiyong's tone was slightly dissatisfied, "But...... Listening to your tone, it should be the girl from the Zhang family, right? I look good at that girl, and she is a good match for you. β
"But there has to be such a thing as an engagement."
"Didn't the woman say something?"
"Yes, Zhang Xueming."
Lu Zhengyi replied bluntly, "Actually, in addition to the gifts she and I discussed for her parents, there are also gifts for the two of you. β
"As for the engagement, I discussed it with her, because it is too cumbersome to get engaged first and then get married."
"Even the post-wedding vacation, we plan to omit it, after all, both she and I are in an important upward phase of work, and she doesn't seem to like aimless travel."
As these words were spoken, there was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment.
Generally speaking, before marriage, the man and the woman are two families.
How much gift money and dowry are required in this process is a matter for two families.
There are even some families where the parents of both sides communicate directly, skipping the male and female sides.
But Lu Zhengyi's tone is not such a meaning at all, but there is already a third family.
His and Zhang Xueming's family.
The two of them were discussing how to deal with the other two families, namely Lu Yiyong and Liu Huiyun, Zhang Chuanxing and Hu Chan.
"In that case, I will advise your mother to come back early."
After a while, Lu Yiyong's voice rang out from the phone again, "If you're on my side, you give me a date, and I'll transfer a shift in advance." β
"Okay."
Lu Zhengyi didn't say anything, and after replying, the two didn't say much.
Until he hung up the phone, his face was calm.
