"Long time no see, Mr. Abkuan."

However, this time on the trip to the country, Lu Zhengyi did not just come to Ito.

After confirming the next cooperation, he stayed in the hotel for one night and rushed to another place the next day.

The actor who once worked together, Abu Kuan's home.

"Hey, Director Lu, long time no see!"

Because he visited early in the morning, the old actor, who was always neatly dressed in the crew and wore a suit and leather shoes, now looks like an ordinary family man, wearing pajamas and opening the door.

But mentally, it's pretty good.

It seems that the incident of the curse crew being banned did not have much impact on him.

But it is not ruled out that it is superficial work, after all, before coming to visit, Lu Zhengyi had made an appointment in advance.

With Abu Kuan's experience as an actor, as long as he has enough time, he is fully capable of choreographing a script to deal with him.

"This is ......"

But soon, Abukuan turned his gaze to the woman beside him, and there was a look of surprise in his eyes, but it was only a fleeting moment, and it didn't last long.

"Zhou Jie, the heroine of my next new role."

Lu Zhengyi introduced softly.

And Zhou Jie said hello as she met Ito yesterday, and then waited quietly beside her.

"Who, dear?"

At this moment, a gentle-sounding female voice sounded from inside the room, and immediately after, a woman in her thirties appeared in Lu Zhengyi's sight.

That should be Abu Khan's wife.

Although he, like Ito, is in his fifties and sixties.

But unlike yesterday's lonely home, Abu Kuan has a wife and two children.

I have to say that there are some people in the house, and the decoration and the atmosphere of life are completely different, which can be reflected from the pillows on the sofa, the two old game controllers next to the TV, and even the chairs and cups used.

Of course, after there are more people, in addition to the taste of life, the sound is also more noisy.

His two daughters were born in middle school, which is a relatively naughty age, and from time to time they will fight because of uneven distribution.

Lu Zhengyi sat in the living room for a while, chatted with Abkuan and his wife for a while, visited the layout and furnishings of the house, and then got up at his invitation and went to the study to talk.

"Teacher Abukuan's home has a great sense of life."

Lu Zhengyi sat on a chair in the study and said with some emotion, "I've seen a lot of actors, but their homes are all decorated like ...... Filming scenes of some TV series and movies. ”

It seems to have been specially soundproofed, and as soon as the door of the study is closed, the sound of the living room outside cannot be heard in the house.

"There will be such a thing."

Abukuan replied with a smile, "After all, as a public figure, the family will be used as a filming location from time to time, so I will definitely pay more attention." ”

"But because I debuted earlier and have more qualifications, I don't have to care too much about this."

"Of course, the most important thing is that my wife is an outsider, and I really got married to her to get by."

This last sentence is a little more subtle.

Although they are two countries, as public figures, the requirements in terms of life are similar.

Abukuan is also very clear about this circle, and there will indeed be some people with deep idol filters and more dignified people, and in marriage, there will also be some ...... More focus on cooperative business marriages.

"I've been wanting to contact you since the release of Cursed 2 had a little accident here." However, Lu Zhengyi quickly talked about the purpose of this trip, "But if you think about it carefully, you still have to come here in person, I'm sorry for causing you trouble." ”

Kyoko Kanda and Fumito Takahashi were both banned by Kazukuni and the crew because of the starring grudge.

Naturally, Abukuan is no exception.

But compared with the other two, he is relatively high in terms of national recognition, seniority, and seniority.

Therefore, the restrictions on him are not so strict, and the works are basically reserved, but the interviews and variety show schedules that he participated in for the promotion of the curse were deleted, and he is not like the other two, who have debuted for many years and are still newcomers with zero works.

But the previous works are fine, and some resources in the future will definitely be affected.

Most likely, he won't be able to receive the play in the future.

"Actually, I'm at this age, and it's almost time to think about retirement."

Abukuan didn't say anything, no words of comfort such as impact, "There is just such an opportunity, I also want to try to rest and rest, I have been working for so many years, and I can't think that I should stop until I am about to die." ”

"Teacher Abukuan's mentality is very good."

Lu Zhengyi didn't persuade either, but followed his words, "But if you're interested and plan to continue acting, you can come to me." ”

"You should be clear about Kanda-sensei's situation, right? She has joined my crew, although on the side of Heguo, she is blocked, but if she wants, I will help her continue on the road of being an actor in other countries. ”

"If you are willing, Mr. Abukuan, our crew will always welcome you to join."

In addition to visiting, he also has a little bit of a solicitation meaning.

This is all for the better development of the crew in the future, after all, these Heguo actors were banned by Heguo because of their participation in his crew.

If he didn't do anything, he would be a little too cold.

At least in the eyes of others.

Lu Zhengyi came to the market of Heguo with high spirits, rolled up a sum of money, and then patted his ass and left.

And the actors who were stupid enough to accompany him to film at the beginning all suffered, which is definitely not good.

Even if you don't develop on the side of the country in the future, if you go to other countries, you will also have a certain amount of points added or subtracted in terms of recruiting actors and finding partners.

But if now, Lu Zhengyi recruits these actors who have been banned by Heguo into the group, the better they develop in the future, the more reassuring other overseas actors who want to join their crew.

And as the crew grows larger and more famous, it can even make some actors ignore their own positions.

As long as you can join the crew, you can develop well and make money, so where is life not life?

As long as you can enjoy sufficient treatment and honor, then living in the Tang Kingdom is the same as living in the Heguo, the Southern Dynasties, and the Stars and Stripes...... What's the difference?

And some countries will also use this set of strategies when recruiting high-tech talents.

"Thanks, but I'd like to take a break for the time being." Abukuan hurriedly replied, not agreeing, but also not refusing, "So, what is your next play...... Is it convenient to reveal? ”

As a man of fifty-nine or almost sixty, he obviously wouldn't make decisions so easily.

Even though it sounds like a good proposition, it's going to wait and see.

"Tomie."

Lu Zhengyi didn't hide it, he was an old man in this line of work, Abu Kuan should know the rules of secrecy, "I have already negotiated with Mr. Ito yesterday, as for the heroine ......"

He looked at Zhou Jie, who had not spoken beside him.

When Abukuan heard the name of the new script, his eyes were eager to try.

But soon, he suppressed this emotion, "Ito-sensei? Unbelievable. ”

"I didn't expect that Director Lu you could actually get Mr. Ito's authorization, and I've heard before that someone is planning to contact Mr. Ito and want to adapt his manga works into movies."

"But it's all over, and it seems that no director can come up with a shooting plan that satisfies him."

As he spoke, he also glanced at Zhou Jie with Lu Zhengyi's gaze, "Amazing, the right script, the right actor and ......"

"The right director."

"Although filming hasn't started yet, inexplicably, I have a feeling that Director Lu, your movie will definitely be a success and will be a big hit."

Abukuan's gaze didn't stay on Zhou Jie for long, and soon returned to Lu Zhengyi's body.

Since they met, he has been very restrained and focused on Zhou Jie.

And this also proves the charm of this woman.

No, it should be said that it is magic.

This is definitely the most suitable actor for Tomie, no wonder Ito-sensei agreed to authorize it.

As a famous work of a well-known manga artist in the country, Abu Kuan is also aware of Tomie's work, even if he hasn't seen it, he has more or less heard of the general character design.

……

……

"When I re-read the information, I found out that Teacher Zhou Jie was already fifty years old! It's incredible! ”

"She behaved exactly like a teenage high school student!"

"But I don't know why, after knowing her age, she is more attractive, and I want to see her again, maybe I'm in love."

……

"There is still a difference between comics and movies."

"If you shoot with a complete reference to comics, there may be no way to highlight the horror and thriller style, but I just feel that it is a more curious subject, and I don't want to live up to it...... Tomie, I mean, Mr. Zhou's interpretation, we need to change it completely. ”

"Even, we should try to only adopt the character design of 'Tomie', but the story is newly written, after all...... Tomie's manga is actually similar to your curse, and each one can be counted as a separate story. ”

……

"Actually, Tomie's work has a lot of loopholes, after all, it was my early work, and many ideas and frameworks at that time were not complete and mature."

"Later, when I gradually became famous and became more and more proficient in creative ability, it was a little too late to make up for and improve it.

"This time, I also want to take this opportunity to make this work more perfect, with the help of Mr. Zhou, I believe that Tomoe's image will be more vivid."

……

And the country's itinerary was not too long.

They soon returned to China and began preparations for the new film 'Tomie'.

Next, Lu Zhengyi's filming location will not be in Heguo, but in the Southern Dynasty.

And when the rest of the crew was preparing for filming, as a director, of course, he communicated more with the 'screenwriter' on the script.

Yes, the seat of their screenwriter for this drama is finally sitting.

At that time, on the subtitles of the main creative team at the end of the film, the screenwriter column will no longer be deleted.

However, when Light and Shadow sent someone to contact Ito, he always politely refused, and even slowed down the speed of replying to messages.

But since Lu Zhengyi took Zhou Jie to Heguo and personally connected with him, the situation has become diametrically opposite.

It's as if Ito has an endless stream of inspirations and words.

Of course, his attention is completely on Zhou Jie's body, and there is a sense of déjà vu that has become her fanatical fan with just one glance.

At home,

Second floor

Lu Zhengyi had just finished taking a shower in the bedroom, and was about to go to the study to talk to Ito about the direction of the script online.

"We don't understand anything about art." Zhang Xueming walked into the room, jokingly said, while sitting on the edge of the bed, "We businessmen are like this, we only know the price." ”

"It's not like that, it's just that Ito is different."

Lu Zhengyi was about to get up and leave, paused, sat down on the chair next to him again, looked at her and explained, "I have never fought uncertain battles, and before I went to meet him, I got to know him in various ways. ”

"From some interviews and works, it is not difficult to see that his heart is actually changing all the time."

"In the early years, Ito liked to imagine the future and talk about his next works during interviews, but as he got older, he gradually stopped talking about new works and preferred to recall past works and talk about things he encountered in the past."

Zhang Xueming nodded and said:

"This is normal, many people like to reminisce about the past when they reach a certain age, and our parents often do the same."

"When you're not around, when they meet with me, they often bring up some of the old days, but most of them are at work."

"Talk about how difficult it was for them to work when they were young, and how they overcame it."

As she spoke, she paused, "But in this way, Ito is indeed relatively easy to overcome." ”

"After all, at this age, even if it is blocked, it is impossible to go too far, like ...... Abukuan, although he was also banned because of our works, the situation is much better than others, so that all his works will not be taken off the shelves. ”

"An old man who misses the old and wants to make up for the past, you are indeed the right medicine. Well...... I remembered that you were actually very business-minded. ”

Zhang Xueming suddenly remembered something.

Prescribe the right medicine, wasn't Lu Zhengyi like this before? Find the point she is interested in and pull her into the group to invest.

It's just that since the two got married, business matters have gradually been entrusted to the light and shadow, and Lu Zhengyi rarely needs to talk to people face-to-face about business.

Basically, it's all about light and shadow.

Later, there was Assistant Wang busy beside him.

In this way, she slowly forgot that she once felt that although he had not gone to work, he was quite experienced in the workplace and business.

"Come and sit with me."

Lu Zhengyi patted his thigh, "Mom and Dad, are they out?" ”

"No, watch TV downstairs." Zhang Xueming didn't hesitate at all, and when she heard him speak, she immediately stood up and leaned over, "It's not like you're going to go to the Southern Dynasty in a few days, I can't come to accompany you more." ”

“…… In a few days, will you come with me? Lu Zhengyi hugged her, just like holding a doll, easily, "When the time comes, we can go out together after filming every day." ”

"What am I going to do, isn't this delaying your work?"

Zhang Xueming shook her head, "I have my parents with me, it's okay." ”

She knew what Lu Zhengyi was worried about, and although she wanted to respond in her heart, she rationally refused.

"I want you to stay with me." Lu Zhengyi leaned closer and whispered, "I'm married, but because of my work, I can't stand being able to stay with you for three or four months all year round." ”

"I can't stand it, I can't stand it." knew it was fake, but Zhang Xueming couldn't help but smile when she listened, "I also have a job, how can I accompany you over, give up." ”

Almost, almost she blurted out, really went together.

But no, if you go over there, people will definitely be distracted from work to take care of yourself, thinking about whether they will hang themselves aside and snub themselves.

With Lu Zhengyi's temperament, he would definitely think so, and he would spend a lot of time with him.

But it doesn't work.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xueming stretched out her palm and held the face in front of her.

"To do what you want to do, this time it is to adapt the original work, it is not easy and challenging, you must be looking forward to it."
