The dinner started at six o'clock in the afternoon and ended in the early morning.Among the three people at the banquet, only Xie Pu got drunk.The other two, one was afraid of showing off his feet and did not dare to drink too much, and the other did not want to get drunk with a hidden purpose.

Xie Pu was too drunk to walk, so he took the elevator downstairs with the help of Lu Qiu and Zhou Hongxun.

"Director Xie is too drunk, I'll take you back." Zhou Hongxun suggested.

Lu Qiu quickly refused: "Don't bother, I asked the manager to call a taxi just now."

Zhou Hongxun was about to say that it was difficult to get a taxi at this point, when the elevator door opened, the hotel manager rushed over, and graciously snatched Xie Pu's arm from Zhou Hongxun's hand.

"Mr. Zhou, the taxi is at the door."

"Mr. Zhou, Director Xie and I will go first." Lu Qiu hurriedly said goodbye.

"Well, be careful on the road." Zhou Hongxun gave the hotel manager a resentful look.

The hotel manager didn't notice the guest's grievances, and only kept on guaranteeing the hotel's service. "Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, the hotel has registered the taxi driver's ID card and license plate number, there is absolutely no security problem."

Following behind the three of them, Zhou Hongxun sent them all the way to the outside of the hotel, and waited for Lu Qiu and Xie Pu to get into the car before calling the driver to come home.

After sending Shep back to the rental house, it was almost one o'clock in the morning.Lu Chunhua was awakened by the sound of the door opening, and got out of bed in a cloaked coat.

"Qiu Sheng, how much have you been drinking? You smell of alcohol all over your body."

Lu Qiu waved his hands vaguely: "I didn't dare to drink much."

As soon as a person relaxes, the spirit of alcohol will come up.

From the magnificent place of Minghua back to the rented house in the black hole, the gap is too big, and Lu Qiu is a little uncomfortable for a while.The smoky walls, rusty window frames, and greasy floor tiles are not pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at them.

"I'll boil water for you to take a shower." Lu Chunhua went into the kitchen to work.Lu Qiu is obsessed with cleanliness and wants to take a bath every day. The rent is not enough and there is no hot water, so he can only use a gas stove to boil hot water for a rinse.

"Sister, I'll do it myself!" Lu Qiu staggered to the door.

The kitchen was built against regulations. The homeowner simply built a brick wall at the door and covered it with plastic sheeting.In summer, it is hot and stuffy here, in winter, it is cold and humid, and there are sharp cold winds coming in through the cracks from time to time.

The small room is divided into two parts, two thirds of which are used as the kitchen, and one third of the inside is the bathroom, with only one flush toilet. This is also the bathroom for the Lu family siblings.

There is only one light bulb in the small draped room, and the light is dim, illuminating the two narrow spaces for eating and drinking.Lu Chunhua's face looked dull under the light.

"Sister, we will buy a house in the second half of the year. If you have time, go around and see if there is a suitable house. Oh, the house should be bigger, preferably in the early [-] square meters."

Lu Chunhua opened his eyes wide: "A big house costs a lot of money, can we afford it this year?"

"The apartment building is absolutely fine. We will buy the villa next year." Lu Qiu waved his hand with a heroic face.Without the worry of picking up soap, writing can continue, and the royalties will continue to flow.

Zhou Hongxun agreed to invest 1000 million yuan and become the main investor of "Farewell My Concubine".The filming funds are sufficient, and Shep is determined to start filming before May, and the time must be properly arranged. Perhaps the film can be released in time for the Spring Festival.

At the dinner, Zhou Hongxun spoke highly of the script of "Farewell My Concubine", and set the film and television copyright fee of "Farewell My Concubine" extremely high, offering a sky-high price of 100 million.At the same time, Lu Qiu's salary will be the same as that of Sun Jiaxing who starred in Duan Xiaolou.Sun Jiaxing was paid 60 yuan when he filmed "Spring and Autumn Love and Enmity". "Spring and Autumn Love and Enmity" became popular, and Sun Jiaxing's net worth rose. His current film salary is about 80 yuan, and Lu Qiu also has this figure.

In this time and space, Hong Kong and Macau have not yet returned to China, and the remuneration of mainland actors is the same as in previous lives, far from being comparable to Hong Kong and Taiwan artists.It is also because the actors are cheap, the labor is cheap, and the cost in the previous life was 3000 million, more than 1000 million here is more than enough.

The script of Farewell My Concubine is a masterpiece, Shep's director level is high enough, and the acting skills of the actors are only average, the film will not reach the glory of the previous life, and it is always possible to earn a vote.Lu Qiu invested in film and television copyright fees and film remuneration, and the dividends would definitely be enough to buy a villa.

"Qiusheng, you talked so much about being drunk, and even said you weren't drunk." Lu Chunhua twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Sister, I'm not drunk. I'm not bragging. In the future, I will buy a lot of houses for my sister and help my sister find a brother-in-law." Lu Qiujiu became more energetic.

Lu Chunhua burst out laughing. "I'm all drunk and can't tell the difference between east, west, north, east, and west, and speak incoherently. The water is hot, so I quickly carried it in and rushed to sleep early."

Although the bathroom is tightly nailed with plastic sheets, the cold wind in the cold spring of March still managed to get in through the gaps.Lu Qiu rinsed it with the hot water in the bathtub as quickly as possible, then wrapped himself in a blanket and jumped into the bed in the living room with grinning teeth.

After a good night's sleep, Lu Chunhua got up, washed, had breakfast, and opened the door to go to work. Lu Qiu was not awakened until the phone rang continuously.Lu Qiu opened his eyes and picked up the phone to see that it was Zhou Hongxun.At the dinner yesterday, Zhou Hongxun took the initiative to exchange mobile phone numbers with Lu Qiu.

"Hey, Brother Qiu, come to Tianding for morning tea."

"Mr. Zhou, you woke up really early." Lu Qiu felt a little weird, feeling that Zhou Hongxun was a little too enthusiastic about him.

Zhou Hongxun's deep laughter came: "Brother Qiu hasn't woken up yet?"

"Hehe, you were about to wake up when your phone called." Lu Qiu didn't have the nerve to admit that he slept in. The sun outside the living room window was always high, and it seemed that it should be eight o'clock.

"Oh, then I'll wait for you." Zhou Hongxun paused and said, "I've arranged an appointment with Mr. Ju Gui for you." Ju Gui is a famous Peking Opera performer.

"Ah, thank you Mr. Zhou, I'll be right here." Lu Qiu's weirdness disappeared, and he felt that it was not Zhou Hongxun's enthusiasm for him, but Zhou Hongxun's seriousness, speed and effectiveness.

Lu Qiu plays the role of Cheng Dieyi. He must learn the basic skills of Jingkun, so he needs to find a master to guide him.Xie Pushun mentioned something yesterday, and Zhou Hongxun said he would help.

"Do you want me to pick you up?"

"Don't bother, I'll take a taxi there."

Zhou Hongxun's heart crawled like an ant, because he couldn't see the person he liked earlier.

"I have an appointment with Mr. Ju Gui at nine o'clock."

"Okay, I'll be there in half an hour." Lu Qiu knew that Zhou Hongxun was reminding him to arrive at Tianding before nine o'clock, so as not to lose etiquette by arriving later than Mr. Ju Gui.In this world, there is no reason for apprentices to let the teacher wait for the apprentice.

Lu Qiu quickly got up, brushed his teeth and washed his face, picked out a casual outfit he just bought, went out and hired a taxi to Tianding, it will take half an hour.

Zhou Hongxun was in the private room on the second floor, at his old place, and when Lu Qiu entered the lobby, he looked up and saw him waving at him.

Lu Qiu walked in a hurry, his blood circulated quickly, his cheeks were rosy, and the tip of his nose was slightly sweating.

Zhou Hongxun looked away from Lu Qiu's face, and handed Lu Qiu a white towel.

"Thank you." Having received Zhou Hongxun's thoughtful and considerate actions last night, facing him again today, Lu Qiu no longer had the thoughtfulness of yesterday. "Mr. Ju Gui hasn't arrived yet?"

"No, the driver has gone to pick up Mr., there is a traffic jam on the road, and it may not arrive until after 09:30." It is only [-]:[-]. "You order first, we will wait for sir while eating."

Zhou Hongxun had already counted the traffic jam time, and urged Lu Qiu to spend more time alone with Lu Qiu.

Tianding Tea House is not far from Feixun's headquarters building, and Zhou Hongxun's apartment is nearby. He is a frequent visitor here.

As a regular customer, Zhou Hongxun recommended several refreshments. After Lu Qiu ordered and tasted them, he found that the taste was either sweet and sour or hot and sour, which suits his taste very well.

Seeing that Lu Qiu was eating satisfactorily, Zhou Hongxun felt a sense of accomplishment. During dinner last night, he observed that Lu Qiu's taste was sour.

"Brother Qiu, did you aspire to be an actor since you were young?"

"No." Lu Qiu was eating happily, and blurted out the denial.Neither Lu Qiu himself nor the original owner, Lu Qiusheng, considered acting as an actor.

There was a gleam in Zhou Hongxun's eyes. "Then how did you become an actor?"

Lu Qiu smiled: "It's just a coincidence, the original actor who played Qiuming in "Spring and Autumn Love and Enmity" got into a car accident and couldn't film. Director Xie couldn't find a suitable one in a hurry, so I asked a friend of mine to help me choose someone. My friend thinks my appearance is suitable. , I made a recommendation to Director Xie."

The corners of Zhou Hongxun's lips twitched: "Director Xie has a good eye for talents, and you played Qiuming very well."

"Mr. Zhou is over the award. It's because Director Xie's high level has played down my acting skills." Lu Qiu was partly humble and partly true.Shep's shots are gorgeous, and the audience only pays attention to the beauty, ignoring other things.

"Brother Qiu, you are always polite to me." Zhou Hongxun shook his head: "You and I hit it off right away, isn't it too natural to always call Mr. Zhou when we meet? Just call me Hongxun."

Lu Qiu froze for a moment and nodded quickly: "Ah... yes."

Zhou Hongxun raised his sword eyebrows slightly, secretly happy in his heart, and brought the relationship closer.

The driver who was sent to pick up Ju Gui had a very high level of driving, and the car drove through all the way, bringing the guests to Tianding Tea House 10 minutes earlier than Zhou Hongxun estimated.

Mr. Ju Gui is not a man, but an elegant old lady.The old lady has white hair, is wearing a purple Tang suit, and has snow-white skin. Although she is in her early sixties, she walks like a young woman.Ju Gui has very high attainments in Beijing and Kunming, and people in the circle ignore her gender and respectfully call her Mr.

Both Zhou Hongxun and Lu Qiu got up and walked to the door to greet them.

After introducing each other to sit down, Zhou Hongxun said: "Sir, Brother Qiu is going to play a Liyuan Opera, and I hope to have your guidance."

Ju Gui looked Lu Qiu up and down, and shook his head slightly. "No, you don't look good, you are too tall and fat."

"I'm not up to the standard weight." Lu Qiu grinned. Ju Gui's dislike had been heard a lot in his previous life, and now he feels really kind.

It's fine if it's too tall, but it's not a big deal if it's too fat.The original owner is 179cm tall and weighs no more than 55kg. She is too thin and looks listless.After Lu Qiu was released from prison, he increased his appetite and exercised for a while every day, and finally managed to increase his weight to 62 kg.

Ju Gui pointed to the snacks in front of Lu Qiu: "The costumes must be thin to look good. You have to lose weight. You can't touch these high-fat foods."

"Yes, sir." Lu Qiu immediately pushed the plate in front of him aside. "From now on, I will listen to sir."

Seeing Lu Qiu go on the road, Ju Gui nodded in satisfaction, found a piece of paper from her handbag and handed it to Lu Qiu: "You will be here at seven o'clock tomorrow."

"Yes, sir."

Lu Qiu looked at the address. It was in the North District. If you were not late, you had to leave the rented room before six o'clock.

Ju Gui agreed to accept Lu Qiu, and Zhou Hongxun let go of his worries.Ju Gui is very high-minded, and ordinary people can't please.Zhou Hongxun donated a large sum of money to the troupe to impress the head of the troupe, and the head of the troupe went to Ju Gui's house in person. After talking for a long time, Ju Gui reluctantly agreed to come to see Lu Qiu.Before coming, Ju Gui had said that if Lu Qiu didn't suit her eyes, she would not teach him.

While drinking tea, Ju Gui heard Lu Qiu say Farewell My Concubine, and was immediately attracted by the plot.

"Can I read the script?"

"This..." Lu Qiu glanced at Zhou Hongxun, scripts are generally kept secret.

"Don't worry, I'll just watch it myself, and I won't spread it to outsiders." Ju Gui promised.

"Brother Qiu, you can show the script to your husband tomorrow." Zhou Hongxun is the biggest investor and can be the master.

"The script is in my bag, and Mr. Ju Gui can read it today."

With an investor as a guarantee, Lu Qiu is happy to have a good relationship with Ju Gui.

The next day, Lu Qiu got up early in the morning, ate the dumplings cooked by Lu Chunhua, and then went out to the address given by Ju Gui.Arrived at the destination, a quarter of an hour early.

It was a woman in her 40s who came to open the door. Lu Qiu guessed it was a nanny based on her temperament and demeanor.

The nanny led Lu Qiu to the backyard and asked him to wait a moment. The husband is still upstairs and will come down soon.

The address given by Ju Gui is Ju Gui's own residence.It is a two-story old house built in the Republic of China, with blue bricks and blue tiles, simple and thick. There is a small yard behind the house, and the walls of the yard are planted with flowers and trees. square bricks.The surface of the square bricks is smooth, which is the result of a lot of practice.

Not long after, Ju Gui, who was dressed in a lavender Tang suit, came down from upstairs.Hearing the sound, Lu Qiu turned around and was startled. Ju Gui's eyes were red and swollen like peaches.

The author has something to say: Farewell My Concubine was filmed in 92. According to the information found on the Internet, Leslie Cheung's film salary was 500 million.
