The entertainment tycoon of the Republic of China

Tiansheng Theater is located on Furong Street near the concession, and it was once prosperous in those days.

It's a pity that after the establishment of the racecourse, this kind of old-fashioned theater gradually became unpopular in Hankou. Several famous actors left and dug, and the business of the theater was declining day by day, and finally declared bankruptcy a few months ago.

In order to get back the funds, the theater owner had to reluctantly part with the whole theater and put it up for sale. However, there are very few people who can spend the money to buy a theater these days, and even if they do, they will not start the entertainment business at once. As a result, the owner has been unsuccessful in selling the theater for several months.

It wasn't until Bai Luoqiu came to Hankou with the Dechun troupe that Fang Qingming's plan began to unfold, and he took a fancy to this theater with a good location and all the facilities are ready-made.

Bai Luoqiu received the news from Fang Qingming, and today he planned to go to see the basic situation of Tiansheng Theater by himself first, and then discuss with Xie Yan, but unexpectedly, not long after waking up in the morning, a certain young marshal Luo came uninvited.

Unlike Li Fu's thought of avoiding it, Bai Luoqiu's senses towards Luo Weizhu are very complicated.

After meeting in Lanzhou for the first time, Luo Weizhu went all the way south with Dechun Ban on behalf of his father, Luo Longsheng. Fudu realized something was wrong, not to mention the fine Bai Luoqiu.

Bai Luoqiu has seldom experienced emotional fluctuations with outsiders in these years, and there are only a few people in this world who he can take to heart, and playing tricks and catering to every occasion is what he is best at these years.

For a suitor like Luo Weizhu who is not low in status and cannot be avoided, Bai Luoqiu has his own way of holding him back until he is no longer interested.

That's how it should be.

Bai Luoqiu sat alone in the private room on the second floor of Tiansheng Theater, casually checking the various facilities inside, feeling a little complicated.

Luo Weizhu is a very smart person, possessing an EQ far beyond his age, every action he takes can fall a little above Bai Luoqiu's bottom line, and he accepts when he sees a good deal, so that Bai Luoqiu can't really lose face , can only accompany him to continue this chasing game that knows it is useless, and both of them probably know it well.

It was not past lunch time at this time, Luo Weizhu heard that Bai Luoqiu was going to the theater, so he insisted on following him on the pretext of having dinner at noon. When the two got off the carriage just now, Bai Luoqiu suddenly had a leg problem. He thought he had covered it up It was good enough, but Luo Weizhu saw it at a glance, and without a word, he took Li Fu to buy him a heater and medicine patches nearby.

Bai Luoqiu stood where he was, unable to tell what was going on in his heart. After a moment of silence, he followed the person in charge of the theater into the door to understand the situation without saying a word.

Tiansheng Theater was also the number one grand theater in Hankou back then, occupying a three-story townhouse. The first floor is a big stage and rows of neat soft seats; Separated by a wall, there is only a one-meter-high metal railing facing the stage, which allows you to have a panoramic view of the first floor; the third floor is an elegantly decorated lounge for famous actors or occasional visitors. The female family members of the rich families who watched the play took a break, and the place where ordinary actors put on makeup and rest was in a small area behind the big stage on the first floor.

Bai Luoqiu sang all the famous theaters when he was in Beijing. Although the decoration of Tiansheng Theater was good, it didn't shock him. He looked around and knew that what the former owner of the theater said was true. Many things are indeed ready-made, even if A Yan wants to modify it, it shouldn't take much effort if he has the foundation.

Bai Luoqiu stretched out his finger to test the soft chair in the box, there was no obvious dust, it should be that the original boss knew that he would come over today and let someone clean it in advance, he slowly sat on the chair, his mind gradually withdrawn from the theater affairs , Thoughts are like a cloud of unpredictable clouds, and I don't even understand why it is like this.

Or maybe he understands, but doesn't want to think about it yet.

In his whole life, he spent 15 years only learning how to live, and another seven years to understand who he is little by little. Except for acting, he has always been slow to learn everything, so knowing these two in his life is enough Now, the human heart is not enough to swallow like a snake, and the rest of the things should not be what he deserves.

Bai Luoqiu looked out the window. The daytime on Furong Street was bustling and bustling. This was Hankou where he thought he would come to live. For so many years, the reason why he wanted to come here has long been soaked in mud and rotted into soft water. Rose, he finally came.

Bai Luoqiu rubbed the center of his brows, suddenly he had a bad feeling in his heart, what happened to him today, why did he suddenly think of so many things from the past?

Is it...

"Boom, boom, boom!" The carved wooden door of the private room knocked from outside, interrupting Bai Luoqiu's thoughts, "Boss Bai, there is a gentleman outside who said he had agreed with you to find you, what do you think?"

Hearing the voice was a boy from the theater, in such a short time, Bai Luoqiu thought it was Luo Weizhu who had returned, so he didn't think much about it.

"Please come up, I have to go to the third floor to have a look later, so I won't go down."

"okay!"

The servant went away in response, Bai Luoqiu got up and walked to the window, glanced down casually, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Luo Weizhu went to buy medicine stickers with Li Fu, and Li Fu had been to Tiansheng Theater several times before today, and he was familiar with the people here. Everyone knows that Li Fu is his buddy, so why do you need a servant to pass it on?

The uneasiness in Bai Luoqiu's heart suddenly magnified, he turned around suddenly, and the door of the box was pushed open from the outside at this very moment.

A person he never wanted to see again in his life, but in fact he recognized him at a glance stood outside the door.

"..."

In Bai Luoqiu's violently shaking pupils, Li Tianwei managed to squeeze out a refined smile.

"Aqiu, long time no see."

……

Bai Luoqiu looked at him, and took half a second to suppress all his emotions, "I didn't want to see you."

"Aqiu, it's too natural for you to say that." Li Tianwei was not surprised, his eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses were full of good-natured smiles, "Anyway, we are reunited old friends, you see you came to Hankou Don't even tell me, now that I'm here, you should invite me to sit down."

Bai Luoqiu frowned, disgusted by Li Tianwei's tone, he wanted to call the boy to "please" him out, but Li Tianwei quickly stepped into the box and closed the door as if he had expected him to do so.

"The people in the theater are the most well-informed and gossiping. If we make a big noise here today, guess how long it will take for the story of you and me to spread all over Hankou? Ah Qiu, you just arrived in Hankou not long ago, I don't think it's open yet Will the reputation of the show be ruined?"

Bai Luoqiu glanced at Li Tianwei's arm against the doorknob, knowing that the other party was definitely coming today, and quickly went through various solutions to the situation in his mind, all to no avail, "I just found out that the famous Hankou The Li family is even more shameless than me as an actor."

"Face is nothing in the final analysis. It is only important because sometimes you can get more benefits with it. If you have enough power, it is as worthless as worthless." Li Tianwei smiled, Up and down took a closer look at the person "Thinking Day and Night" a few steps away, "Aqiu, you have grown up, but you look better than I thought."

Bai Luoqiu is no longer the young man who devoted himself to the theater troupe and knew nothing about the outside world. Naturally, he would not be deceived by Li Tianwei's appearance. He resisted the discomfort caused by the other party's naked eyes, and quietly retreated to the window. After taking half a step, his mouth continued to circle.

What Li Tianwei said just now is not bad. Although it is not uncommon for famous actors to have romantic affairs nowadays, Bai Luoqiu is the banner that Fang Qingming intends to use to compete with the racetrack. This kind of critical moment must not appear in the slightest in public opinion. Mistake.Li Tianwei's threat really hit the point.

"Don't pretend to talk about old times, you must have known about my coming to Hankou, otherwise what did a group of Li family members go to my house yesterday morning? Could it be to make amends?" Bai Luoqiu pretended to be angry and tried.

Li Tianwei had expected that Bai Luoqiu would ask this, but he was relieved when he saw that the other party was emotional. He knew that Bai Luoqiu could not let go of himself.

"It was my family's intention that they rushed to the door yesterday. I stopped them for a long time but didn't stop them. Fortunately, you were not there at the time and didn't bump into them. I came to you today because I had already discussed the future with them. Come and tell them quickly. Good news for you."

"In the future?" Bai Luoqiu read these two words.

"Aqiu, you should know that I'm married and have children, right?" Li Tianwei asked cautiously.

"I have a good memory."

"Yeah, I went to the capital to see you later, but you just stepped down and kicked us out." Li Tianwei said with a very hurt expression, "Actually, I have always regretted what happened back then. I wanted to give up on you, so I came out of relatives’ house directly, but Baishan filial piety is the first priority. People from my family said that my parents were so angry that they couldn’t eat. In addition, I was young and had nothing in my hands, so even if I left The family can't afford to support you, so...you understand, right?"

Li Tianwei raised his head, and Bai Luoqiu stood by the window quietly watching him trying to explain, his light brown eyes neither happy nor sad, as if he was just listening to an insignificant play, Li Tianwei's heart skipped a beat, suddenly he was a little uncertain.

"So? What are you going to say?" Bai Luoqiu didn't answer his question.

"It has been seven years since that day, Aqiu, do you know how I have lived these seven years? The Li family is a wealthy family in Hankou, and I am the only one among my brothers who does not have a concubine and only has one child. Aqiu, I have never forgotten you, and I have always felt sorry for you..." Li Tianwei thought of his thoughts that had been suppressed in the dark all these years and couldn't get on the stage, and he felt more and more pitiful, and his tone became more and more sincere.

He was satisfied to see that after listening to these words, Bai Luoqiu's originally cold and resistant expression relaxed a bit.

This will be fine, as long as Bai Luoqiu remembers the old love, the next thing will come at his fingertips for an experienced person like him. Now he is not the same as he was seven years ago, without the control of those disgusting elders, If Bai Luoqiu is obedient, he doesn't mind letting go of the past and treating him well, after all, this is a "star" who is famous all over the country.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. See, I almost forgot about this. Aqiu, you must have not had lunch after being busy for a long time." Li Tianwei took the opportunity to naturally lead the topic to where he wanted.

He gestured for the food box in his hand, placed it on the table in the box, opened it, and took out a bowl of steaming spicy stew.

"I remember that when I was in Beijing, you loved this food the most. You would eat it every time you went out with me. There are few places in Hankou that sell stewed stew. It was hard for me to find an authentic one. I bought it for you when I got up early. .”

Li Tianwei took out the chopsticks graciously and handed them to Bai Luoqiu, "How about a taste?"

"..."

Under his expectant and apprehensive eyes, Bai Luoqiu stared down at the pair of ordinary bamboo chopsticks, remained silent for a few seconds, and finally reached out to take them.
