Heal the King

Tao Han's face was a little hot.

He looked around subconsciously. Chen Jue was far away, looking at things elsewhere, and he didn't know if he heard them talking.It's probably hard to tell what he's talking about with this weird mechanical voice.

But when Xu Yiqing and the old tailor looked at him with a smile, he still felt his face blush.

It's been a long time since he received such a straightforward blessing, but the effect was immediate.

So Tao Han replied thank you in English, bowed, and turned his eyes to look at Xu Yiqing's hat.

"He's a bit shy." Xu Yiqing said to the old tailor.

"I know that Chinese people are very reserved. He must love you very much. I can tell." The old tailor said.

Xu Yiqing smiled, turned his head and bowed slightly so that the other party could touch the brim of his hat.

"That's it." Tao Han said, "It suits you very well."

After swiping their cards to pay, the three finally left the shop.Chen Jue quietly pulled out the shopping receipt and glanced at it, silently calculated the exchange rate in her heart, and said, "Damn it, Mr. Tao, you are really rich."

"Handmade." Tao Han said.

"The manual cost is not so expensive..."

"People praise us so hard, what's wrong with making some money for them." Tao Han took the receipt and kneaded it into a ball in his hand, "Shall I buy you a gift?"

"No, no, no." Chen Jue hurriedly shook her head.

"You go to watch empty-handed at night... to see Yu Zilian?" Tao Han said, "If I don't buy it for you, will you give him another one?"

"Does he care about these things?" Chen Jue sighed.

"You have to bring it if you don't care." Tao Han casually picked up a small gadget by the side of the stall, fiddled with it in his hand, lost it and put it back, "I'm really worried about your life's event. Take care." Although Tao Han now always feels that Yu Zilian is adoring his petite and cute little cabbage...

Chen Jue was embarrassed: "Maybe I was scared at that time."

"Don't be cowardly, there are many incredible things in life, look... just because you shared Teacher Xu's playlists and movies with me every day, now the two of us can..." He felt embarrassed after speaking halfway, and coughed , "That's it."

……

A sloppy afternoon passed, and the movie was about to start.

Xu Yiqing got the tickets through his relationship, there were only two tickets, and the rest dispersed at the entrance of the theater.

"Will Director Roger be here soon?"

Tao Han sat down and asked.

"Yes." Xu Yiqing said.

The two of them watched the movie, and then watched the collective appearance of the main creators and the director. It was already ten o'clock in the evening when the whole process was over.

"Are you hungry?" Xu Yiqing asked.

"A little bit." Tao Han rubbed his belly.

"Let's go." Xu Yiqing said, "There's a bar by the shore, let's reserve a spot, let's go and have a drink."

There are many bars by the river bank, Xu Yiqing especially chose the one with a small family, near the inner location, there is a quite big shed, dotted with beautiful small lights, and the sound of water splashing against the shore can be heard.

"There are so few people here." Tao Han looked around, "What should I do if the wine is bad?"

The waiter brought two bottles of beer on a tray, and Xu Yiqing took one and put it in front of Tao Han: "It's reserved."

Tao Han: "..."

Tao Han: "OK."

The two of them didn't have much to say, they just sat there for a while, taking a sip or two of wine occasionally, blowing the wind quietly.

No one wanted to break the tranquility of this moment, they were all emptying themselves.

After a while, when Xu Yiqing was about to speak, he suddenly heard a movement at the door of the bar.When the waiter ran to explain, Xu Yiqing saw a familiar face.

"Wait a minute." Xu Yiqing stood up quickly, startling Tao Han.

He looked back and finally understood what Xu Yiqing was nervous about.

Standing outside the door was that Director Roger.

Roger is over sixty years old. After all, Xu Yiqing is in his thirties, and he grew up watching the movies he directed, but he is obviously in good spirits. He looks very young and energetic, and looks gentle and charming.

Xu Yiqing had already walked over, and Tao Han quickly stood up to greet him.Xu Yiqing spoke to him in English, and Tao Han silently smiled beside him.

Surprisingly, Director Roger actually patted him: "I know you, I remember you, I was at the movie in the morning, and I watched it all in the back row."

Xu Yiqing was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said excitedly: "You watched the whole movie? I'm so, so honored."

Tao Han seldom saw what it would be like for Xu Yiqing to admire someone in particular, at this moment he had discovered that everyone admired people in the same way... His eyes were hot and excited, like a child.

Roger and his entourage took their seats, and he also happily said: "Yes, I watched all of them. I was very surprised by your performance..."

Next, the two communicated happily.

Tao Han listened, but he had nothing to do, he could only drink a few sips of beer by himself, and continue to blow the wind.

After chatting for almost 10 minutes, when Tao Han was wondering if he should go to Chen Jue to ask how he was doing tonight, he heard Director Luo Jie pat the table with his hand: "I have been wanting to raise money for the past two or three years. Make a Chinese movie. I have a lot of things I want to make, so I have been watching and thinking about Chinese culture. Many people say that Chinese culture is dragon, it is... red, it is kung fu... Yes, it is these, but I want to shoot a different kind of Chinese Kung Fu."

Tao Han turned his face slightly and saw Xu Yiqing's back straight: "So, when are you going to make this film?"

"I expect it to be at the end of this year." Roger said, "I have also thought a lot about casting. This time at the film festival, I have watched and compared every Chinese film that participated in the exhibition, so I am deeply impressed by you. .You may be the person I'm looking for. If we don't meet here, I will definitely find you."

... This relationship has a drink and an appointment for a movie?Tao Han touched the mouth of the beer bottle, thinking in disbelief.

"Of course I would." Xu Yiqing said, "I'll send you my agent's email address, and you send him the specific time, and I'll let him try to coordinate it, no, no, no, definitely!"

"Don't you read the script?" Roger laughed.

"No need." Xu Yiqing shook his head, "I've watched every one of your dramas, every one... I've watched it since childhood."

"Oh, really?" Roger spread his hands, "It's my pleasure."

"It is my honor to cooperate with you." Xu Yiqing said, "I can even play a supporting role."

"Oh no no no." Roger pointed at him, "You must be the protagonist, the more I see you the more like my protagonist."

Before I knew it, it was past eleven o'clock local time, and the two people who had chatted for almost a whole night obviously hit it off, and they were still reluctant to part when they left.

After sending the director away, the two of them should also go home.It is not far to walk back to the hotel from here, and there are not many pedestrians, so the two of them decided to walk slowly.

"Would you like to congratulate you in advance?" Tao Han stretched out his hand.

Xu Yiqing slapped him casually, but didn't put it down immediately, and took advantage of the situation to hold the person above, and pulled the person over to him: "I didn't even put a horoscope, what are you congratulating me for?"

"The director likes your appearance very much. I think you are very promising for this role. Are you happy to be filming your favorite director's play? Do you feel like your dream has come true?"

"You..." Xu Yiqing was very helpless to his chatter, "Do you think I'm wrapped in a sheet in your head?"

"Do you want to listen to the truth?" Tao Han laughed, "Yes, it's really lingering."

Xu Yiqing was afraid that someone would see him, so he let go of his hand, and the two of them put their hands in their pockets in a tacit understanding, even the steps they took were similar.

"Bai Fan is not easy to deal with." Xu Yiqing said, "Maybe in order to adjust the schedule, he will ask me to shoot four or five more commercials that I don't want to accept."

"Speaking of which, isn't your studio already independent?" Tao Han said.

"That's how it is said, you can take plays freely, but in fact, you still need to be screened by Bai Fan." Xu Yiqing said, "He has to read my playbook and everything in person."

"He treats you very well." Tao Han said.

"He intends to let go in the second half of the year." Xu Yiqing said, "It was discussed before that Xingge should enter a new management model... Afterwards, it will not be annexation and acquisition of other small entertainment companies, but... need our studios to slow down. Slowly develop into a company that can manage itself."

"So in the future, one person will have one company?" Tao Han said in surprise, "Wow, Boss Xu."

"Don't make fun of me." Xu Yiqing said, "I don't even know what to do."

"What should I do??" Tao Han pointed to himself, "With a business planner and senior manager like me, what are you afraid of? Your husband, I won't charge you any consulting fees, just pay me two more kisses."

"Recently..." Xu Yiqing stroked his hair with his hands, "You really don't have a mouth."

"Okay!" Tao Han said.

"Okay..." Xu Yiqing couldn't resist his coquetry, "Got it."

Without knowing it, they all walked to the door of the hotel.

"You go up first, I'll smoke a cigarette." Tao Han said.

"En." Xu Yiqing responded.

In fact, he didn't want to smoke, but he just wanted to drive away with Xu Yiqing, so as not to be seen.Xu Yiqing should also know what he was thinking, and walked into the hall alone.

Tao Han wandered outside for a while, touching the cigarette case in his pocket.Whether to smoke or not, although basically I am not particularly obsessed with smoking, but since I mentioned it, I still think about it...

He fumbled in his pocket, ah, too bad, he didn't bring a lighter.

He turned his head and saw a sporadic light in the dim environment. Just as he was thinking of borrowing a fire, he saw Chen Jue standing a little closer to the light source.

Tao Han froze for a moment, and looked into the shadows, the person behind the flickering sparks was indeed Yu Zilian? ?

The atmosphere is obviously not so harmonious.At least two of them didn't seem to have any smiles on their faces. Instead, they looked dignified. Especially Chen Jue, who had all the emotions and anger on his face, felt like he was about to cry at the moment.

Tao Han moved two steps back, and whispered to himself, "I'll go... I'd better not go there."
