Special troubles of rebirth

After Lu Jinwei and Wu Ziyi finished complimenting each other, everyone sat down.

"An appointment for a game tomorrow?"

"The day after tomorrow!"

Wang Yu waited for Song Qiuyun to help the two of them make tea, and continued: "I came here to talk to some organizations about the financing of Guocheng takeout. After the talks in the morning, we will make an appointment to play a game of football in the afternoon. You may also know IDG's Xiao Haiyang, who has great football skills. It’s really good.”

"Hey, you told me about this guy earlier!"

Lu Jinwei smiled and said: "There are many people playing ball here in the capital, and there are many circles. Although Xiao Haiyang is considered a second-generation player, he has more appointments with people in the business circle when playing. I played with him After two games, Xiao Haiyang’s level is about the same as the two of us, it all depends on his on-the-spot performance!”

As he spoke, he nodded at Li Yunlei beside him: "I was brought into the trap two years ago. It's a typical fairy ball. When my hands were having menstrual cramps, I was willing to be the loser, but most of the time I had bad hands. Hahaha."

Li Yunlei looked a little honest, looked at Wang Yu sheepishly and said: "I only have one cramp in a hundred games. If it doesn't count, I still need to practice more!"

His honesty should not be taken seriously. The second-generation miners in Shanxi Province are really dark, the same color as the coal at home.

Wang Yu smiled and said: "It's almost time to enter the country. After this stage, I started to improve my skills. Now I'm in the repetitive stage. Sometimes I feel a sensation in my hand. In fact, it's not a hand cramp. Let's change it to a beginner who hasn't played a few games. Come on, if you're a scholar, you won't have such cramped hands to beat him to death!"

Li Yunlei gave Wang Yu a thumbs up: "My coach also said the same, let me play a dozen more during this period. If I get through it, there will be a period of rapid growth. By then, the ceiling of my skills will be roughly there."

"This thing requires talent, just like basketball and football. We ordinary people have practiced it to death, and the ceiling is the starting point for some people. In the final analysis, golf is a sport. It doesn't matter whether it is a ball or a skill, we can just enjoy it. .”

The three of them chatted about golf for a while, and then the topic turned to movies and television.

Wang Yu has dragged Lu Jinwei into the "pit". It doesn't matter what he talks about. It will be safer to just follow him.

"Recently, while chatting with people in my circle, I suddenly became interested in the history of the Warring States Period, and found that there are too many stories that can be told in it."

Lu Jinwei talked about his thoughts enthusiastically: "I plan to find a gold medal screenwriter to write a few scripts about the Warring States Period. Then I will see if I can choose one and make it into a movie. I think people who are interested will More!"

Wang Yu was drinking tea calmly at first, but when Lu Jinwei said it, he suddenly remembered a movie.

"No, no, no. Did I hear it wrong?"

Although Wang Yu kept repeating it in his heart, it turned out that he heard it right. Lu Jinwei was interested in the theme of the Warring States Period.

"Think about it, a movie that contains elements of love, strategy, war, betrayal, etc., and if we invite some first-line male stars to join the movie, many Chinese people will come to the cinema!"

Directed by Jin Chen and starring Sun Honglei, Wu Zhenyu, Da Tiantian, Jin Xishan, Jiang Wu, Nakai Kiichi, etc., Wang Yu remembers the ancient costume historical film "Warring States" very clearly. Even though there are many stars supporting the moon, it still does not become a hit. Big sweet.

Not to mention trying to pull someone across, at least it was not successful.

So when Lu Jindong, the "King of Pitfalls," proposed a joint venture to make a film on the spot, Wang Yu was shocked.

If he had known that this guy would mention this movie at this time, Wang Yu would be willing to face the scene of three girlfriends coming to the capital to stir up trouble.

Looking at Wu Ziyi's gleaming expression when she was sitting across from her, if it weren't for Wang Yu's pit-avoidance radar, she would have used her star of hope to play the second female lead and ride on this "free ship".

The key is that Li Yunlei next to him also played well, which increased Wu Ziyi's enthusiasm. However, when she looked at Wang Yu's questioning eyes, Wu Ziyi's heart skipped a beat and she was immediately confused.

She was too familiar with the meanings expressed by some of Wang Yu's expressions, and now it was so clear.

When Wang Yu spoke next, it confirmed her suspicion: "You arrange your own affairs first. We don't know who will win in the competition the day after tomorrow. Let's settle the old and new debts together!"

"Hey, you look like you still want to beat me?"

Lu Jinwei rubbed his hands: "If I lose again, won't I have to give up the leading female role to one of your female stars?"

"Then don't be stressed!"

"Don't worry, I'm the kind of person who gets more excited and performs better!"

While talking, he confirmed to Li Yunlei beside him: "Really, Lei Zi?"

It's confirmed. Judging from this, Wang Yu will definitely lose the day after tomorrow, and Wu Ziyi seems to have seen the ending.

But why doesn’t Wang Yu take a fancy to the Warring States-themed movies that Lu Jinwei mentioned?

Big investment and big stars, isn't this the usual formula for commercial films?

Domestic Lao Mouzi has played this trick very skillfully. Starting from "Hero", no matter how the film is criticized by fans in the end, the market still buys it in the end.

Doubts are doubts. Now I can only bury them in my stomach and ask again when no one is around in private.

If you want to treat guests, you need to prepare various ingredients in advance. Wang Yu's small club could not open tonight due to time constraints, so dinner became Li Yunlei's treat.

"Tonight we are going to eat eight bowls of Shanxi specialties. There is a guildhouse here in the capital. It is the place where our Shanxi merchants stay when we come to the capital. The chefs there are well versed in the essence of Shanxi cuisine and are very popular!"

The kind of guild halls Li Yunlei mentioned are not uncommon. There are such guild halls in the capital not only in Shanxi Province, but also across the country. Such guild halls are also set up not only in the capital, but also in super international cities like Shanghai.

We are competitors in the province, but when we go out, we become fellow villagers.

Chinese people still have a strong sense of regional unity. Since ancient times, Shanxi merchants, Hui merchants, Su merchants, and Zhejiang merchants have all been named after their region.

In modern times, the guild hall is just a common name in everyone's mouth. It is actually a star-rated hotel, and it still receives foreign guests when it is open to the public. It is just that the proportion of Shanxi merchants coming and going is relatively high here.

In fact, because Jin Province is close to the capital, many wealthy businessmen from Jin Province have purchased real estate in the capital. After coming to the capital, they may not necessarily live here. Just like Li Yunlei, he has many villas and large flats in the capital, so he comes here. Just for eating.

Since it was a party, Wang Yu brought his female companion Li Xiaoxiao, and Lu Jinwei and Li Yunlei naturally picked up the female companion.

Needless to say, Lu Jinwei has been seen on the screen many times in his previous life. Now Da Tiantian is in his youth and really radiant.

And the female companion named Meng Jiaqing that Li Yunlei called was not bad either. She was a female host from Capital Radio. Her appearance, temperament, and figure were all outstanding.

Including Wu Ziyi, the seven of them asked for a private room with Shanxi characteristics. After introducing each other, they took their seats.

Because of Wu Ziyi, Da Tiantian insisted on sitting next to her. In the end, the four women simply sat together, and Wang Yu, Lu Jinwei, and Li Yunlei sat next to each other.

When the food started to be served, the culture of the wine table was naturally introduced. The host Li Yunlei's opening remarks was to introduce the origin of the eight bowls to everyone.

"Actually, the Eight Big Bowls originated from the Manchu-Han Banquet. As we all know, the Manchu-Han Banquet is divided into the "upper eight treasures", "the middle eight treasures" and the "lower eight treasures". Our eight bowls in Shanxi Province are based on the lower eight treasures."

Li Yunlei is worthy of being a second-generation miner, and he should have experienced a lot of knowledge, so he talks about it vividly: "When it comes to the preparation of these eight bowls, they are divided into thick and thin: the thin eight bowls refer to: braised fish fillets, braised shrimps, Family portrait, sweet-scented osmanthus fish bone, braised smooth fish, shredded Sichuan pork, Sichuan meatballs, loose meat, etc.; the eight thick bowls include: fried green shrimps, braised shredded chicken, whole stewed egg custard and crab roe, sea cucumber balls, ingot meat, chicken in clear soup, fried chicken Braised chicken, home-cooked carp, etc.”

Wang Yu interjected at this time: "Didn't Mr. Li say that the Manchu and Han banquets were divided into "upper eight delicacies", "middle eight delicacies" and "lower eight delicacies"? Today we are enjoying the lower eight delicacies. The upper eight delicacies are probably quite boring. Those bears Palms, leopard fetuses, and deer sinews. Eating one of them is enough to be punished, but I don’t know if I can eat the eight delicacies.”

"It's just fish maws, sea cucumbers and the like. Even if the requirements are higher, you can still find them all if you search carefully. The key is that it's hard to find a master who can do it."

Lu Jinwei has been in the capital for a long time, and has eaten almost all the delicacies in the capital. He has a relatively good say in this aspect: "Now there are many people in the capital who are branded as palace chefs. Many of them are It’s a gimmick. I have really worked as a chef in the previous imperial palace. I have never encountered such a inheritance. And most of the private dishes are chefs from the homes of relatives of the previous dynasty or first-rank officials. In the end, it is a family. The banquet is even more incomparable to the Manchu-Han Banquet."

Wang Yu remembered a saying in his previous life, so he answered: "A group of people fled after the Revolution of 1911. After Puyi was driven out of the Forbidden City by Feng Yuxiang, the palace was empty. Some of those imperial chefs fled to Nanyang, and some of them should have followed that The family went to the other side of the sea, and if we really want to talk about inheritance, there might be something over there!"

Lu Jinwei and Li Yunlei nodded in agreement. Perhaps as Wang Yu said, if the country now wants to find a true inheritance of the imperial chef of the previous dynasty, or the kind who holds a spoon, perhaps it is really rare.

As the dishes were served one after another, everyone realized that there were more than just eight bowls in Jin Province. The mutton there was also outstanding, and there were other specialties such as vinegar-stewed Yellow River carp. Wang Yu couldn't help but enjoy the food.

After dinner, Li Yunlei arranged for the four women to have a spa treatment directly in the hotel, while the three of them went to sit in the bar on the podium next to it. It is said that the bar here has a good style, and from time to time, singers from Beipiao come to sing.

"Actually, if you want to talk about a bar, it has to be in the Houhai area!"

Wang Yu's courtyard house is in the Houhai area. At night, there are at least a hundred active small bars there, and many well-known singers were resident singers in that area before becoming famous.

After saying this, Lu Jinwei suddenly looked strange and looked at Li Yunlei from time to time.

"?"

Wang Yu looked at him curiously, guessing there was a story in it.

"This guy!"

After all, Lu Jinwei couldn't hold it back and pointed at Li Yunlei and said: "When he first came to the capital, he thought he was a literary young man. He carried a guitar and went to Houhai to be a resident singer. As a result, he continued for several nights. I tried at about six or seven places. Guess what happened next? Even if he didn’t ask for money, they wouldn’t sing for him anymore. Hahaha, he sang out of tune.”

No wonder the second generation of Jin Provincial Mines didn’t go to KTV for the second time after dinner!
