Recalcitrant

A black car parked steadily in the night, and outside the car was a well-decorated daily food store. Seeing the guests coming, the little girl in kimono hurriedly trotted towards the direction of the car.

Lu Shaoheng got out of the car sideways, and walked into the gate led by the girl.

Lu Shaoheng appeared here tonight because he invited a director named Wang Wenyu to have dinner with him.Wang Wenyu is less than 40 years old. He just got married this year. He is a well-known director both inside and outside the industry. The director has produced many well-received and well-received works, and has a deep connection with the audience.

There is a certain truth in the old saying that if there is no extreme sun, there is no extreme prosperity.After Lu Shaoheng came to power, Juxing suffered several serious injuries in a row, and recently finally ushered in a turning point.

First of all, Lu Shaoheng sold some of the stocks in the game company in his hand in order to ease the financial pressure.When Lu Shaoheng invested in this company back then, everyone said that he wasted money and wasted money. Unexpectedly, with the rise of domestic mobile games these years, this part of the shares was sold at a good price, which solved the urgent need.

The second piece of good news is that the famous director Wang Wenyu expressed his interest in the script of "No Man's Land" through a mutual friend, and took the initiative to ask Lu Shaoheng to come out for an interview.

Upon hearing the news, Lu Shaoheng wondered if he had hurt his brain by staying up late, and had hallucinations in broad daylight. This director couldn't even spend money to hire him, and besides, they have no money now.

He repeatedly confirmed with the intermediary many times, and after confirming that the news was true, he didn't dare to delay for a second, and immediately took the initiative to invite him to come out to meet, for fear that the other party would change his mind if it was too late.

During this period of time, in order to get Juxing out of the predicament as soon as possible, Lu Shaoheng can be said to have exhausted all means, making money through various channels, even at the expense of his own money to promote the project.The group of old men in the board of directors who were not optimistic about him all looked at him with admiration, and praised him many times for his responsibility, brains, and responsibility.

Thinking of the scene at that time, Lu Shaoheng couldn't help but feel a little mocking, people really are all fools.

In his eyes, Juxing's current crisis is just an opportunity. As long as he leads the company to a safe landing, or even to a higher level, he can win the trust of the shareholders' meeting and make them completely lean to his side.

The reason why Lu Shaoheng dared to attack An Ran's people now was not only because he had Chen Guangyu's support, but more because the company was now relying on the funds he had mobilized to maintain the company.

The restaurant’s environmental design is thoughtful. The road leading to the private rooms has to pass through a large artificial bamboo forest, with a plank road running across it, with gurgling water on both sides of the road, and rows of delicate bamboo lamps.

When Lu Shaoheng entered the box, Wang Wenyu had already arrived.Director Wang has an approachable personality. When he saw Lu Shaoheng, he put down the wine glass in his hand and greeted him warmly.

"Hello, Director Wang." Lu Shaoheng walked into the box with a smile on his face.

He came to the table and stretched out his hand to Wang Wenyu: "I'm sorry for the long wait, the road is a bit congested today."

"It's okay, I came early." Wang Wenyu shook Lu Shaoheng's hand, and invited him to sit down together: "Farewell to Wang Daochang, Wang Daochang, please call me by my name."

Wang Wenyu's personality is the same as his early director's works, calm, easy-going, and even a bit docile.He was wearing a half-new cashmere sweater, with rimless glasses on the bridge of his nose. He looked refined, the kind of appearance that was easy to confide in.

Before meeting today, Wang Wenyu already had a full understanding of the project "No Man's Land", plus Lu Shaoheng can hit it off with anyone he wants to make friends with, so the two had a very happy chat shortly after they met , Seeing that they are about to start calling each other brothers.

It's just that I didn't expect that Wang Wenyu, who is as gentle as Wang Wenyu, is actually good at wine, and he is still a drunkard. He drinks whenever he sees wine, but his capacity for alcohol is not high.A bottle of wine was brought to the table, and before Lu Shaoheng could taste anything, he was already completely drunk.

Although the person is already drunk, he still has to say what should be said. Lu Shaoheng raised his wine glass and lightly touched the rim of Wang Wenyu's cup. The address has changed from "Wang Dao" to "Wenyu": "Wenyu, Regardless of whether the cooperation will be successful in the end, I will thank you if you are willing to come out today."

Wang Wenyu was already drunk, he put his head on one hand, smiled, and said, "Thank you for what I did, and speaking of it, I have to thank Chen Zhuo."

"Chen Zhuo?" Lu Shaoheng was startled for a moment, and soon he smiled nonchalantly: "So it's because of Mr. Chen's influence?"

"Of course, if it wasn't for Chen Zhuo, how could I have come into contact with your project." Speaking of this, Wang Wenyu laughed twice, as if suddenly remembered something interesting, lowered his voice, and approached Lu Shaoheng mysteriously Xidi said to him: "He also said, haha, he also said, let me offer you a lower price, and he will compensate me privately. I said where is it, if it is the project I like, don't say The price is low, and I am willing to accept it without paying..."

"Chen Zhuo, why do you think Chen Zhuo is? He is obviously so young, so talented, and his starting point is still so high. It's time for him to show his ambitions. Why doesn't he make movies anymore?"

A drunk person speaks illogically, and Wang Wenyu's topic slipped away again when he was not paying attention: "Let me tell you, don't believe it, I can see that he hasn't completely let go of making movies. , just didn't turn the corner for a while..."

How could Lu Shaoheng not know this, otherwise he would not have suggested that Chen Yao take over "No Man's Land" that night.

Later, Wang Wenyu babbled a lot, but Lu Shaoheng didn't listen to it. Recalling Chen Zhuo's rejection that night, Lu Shaoheng's throat felt a little congested.

"He..." He paused, swallowed the dryness in his throat, and asked, "Why did he ask you to help me?"

Lu Shaoheng's voice was very soft, and he didn't know whether he was asking Wang Wenyu or himself.

But Wang Wenyu still heard this question, he sat up straight with difficulty, and drank the last sip of wine from the bottom of the glass: "Then I don't know, you have to ask him himself."

After finishing speaking, Director Wang tilted his head and passed out, leaving Lu Shaoheng alone to face the mess on the table, not knowing where to put his heart.

***

Chen Zhuo sat in front of the rows of monitors, staring at the pictures on the screen with a serious expression.

Zhou Yang observed Chen Zhuo's face, and asked cautiously, "How is it?"

There is a common view in the industry that excellent editing can bring mediocre movies back to life, and Zhou Yang is such an excellent editor.

Over the years, Zhou Yang has collaborated with Chen Zhuo on several films, and the cooperation is very tacit. The later stage of "Golden Que Fengyuelu" was also handed over to her studio to complete.

She is very familiar with Chen Zhuo's work habits. Zhou Yang observed his unpredictable expression, and prayed to God in his heart, hoping that Chen Zhuo would not make any more moths, and he would cut them as soon as possible, so as not to torture her again.

But Chen Zhuo broke her fantasy with one sentence: "I can't make a cut for the time being, some details need to be adjusted."

Zhou Yang protested: "Why, you are not the director, let the director come and talk to me."

Chen Zhuo glanced at her and said, "I have the final say here."

Seeing his hopes come to naught, Zhou Yang collapsed on the chair as if his core had been pulled out: "Then let's call it a day and talk about it tomorrow. If this continues, I will die suddenly."

You know, before this, she had been tortured by Chen Yao for a long time.

Chen Zhuo was not so easy to dismiss, and he didn't show her mercy: "If you don't go out a few times to fool around at night, you won't die so easily. You came to the studio after 09:30 tonight, don't think I don't know. "

"Chen Baopi." Seeing that he was powerless, Zhou Yang sat back in front of the computer cursing, and added: "Black-hearted capitalist."

No matter what the scolding, in fact, there is one advantage of cooperating with Chen Yao, that is, the editor only needs to serve him well, and the director and producer are almost hidden in this link.Unlike other projects in her hands, anyone can come and tell her what to do. Some producers and directors don't have a unified opinion, and they have to fight in her studio from time to time.

If you want cattle to work, you must feed them grass.Chen Zhuo hadn't completely wiped out humanity. Before the work started in the second half of the night, Chen Zhuo booked a table at a nearby Cantonese restaurant and invited everyone in Zhou Yang's studio to go out for supper.

How could Zhou Yang refuse such a good thing, so a group of people went out in such a mighty way in the middle of the night.

In the early hours of the morning, the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors was not small, Zhou Yang couldn't help shivering as soon as he stepped out of the studio door.She tightened the ripped jacket on her body, and was about to urge Chen Yao to leave quickly, when he stopped and looked in the direction of the steps.

Zhou Yang followed Chen Zhuo's line of sight. She first saw a lit cigarette, and then saw Lu Shaoheng's face behind the smoke.

Lu Shaoheng was wearing a thin windbreaker, with one hand in his pocket, leaning sideways by the railing of the stairs, smoking a cigarette absently.

Seeing Lu Shaoheng here in the middle of the night, Zhou Yang thought to himself, the boss didn't come on a whim today, so he should come to guide the work in person.

Although she and Chen Zhuo have known each other for a long time, it is generally considered a bad relationship.Being able to cooperate with him for so many years is all due to Lu Shaoheng being the bridge between them.

Fortunately, Lu Shaoheng's foolish man was not going to fall, and he didn't intend to work hard. Hearing the movement, he turned his head, first greeted Zhou Yang and his group with a smile, and then turned his gaze to Chen Zhuo.

But Chen Zhuo didn't give any response as if he didn't see the boss coming.

Chen Zhuo can be disrespectful to the benefactor, but it doesn't mean that Zhou Yang is also fine. Seeing the two people looking at each other, neither of them had any intention of speaking first, so she had to bite the bullet and stand up.

"Mr. Lu, what a coincidence?" She tugged on Chen Zhuo's sleeve, raised an overly bright smile, and walked towards Lu Shaoheng.

"Where do you want to go with such a large group of people?" Lu Shaoheng snuffed out the cigarette butt, flicked it into the trash can beside him, and stood up straight. "Jiang Xiaobo said that you are going to work overtime tonight. Is that how you work?"

"Boss, I'm wronged." Zhou Yang quickly put on a dog-legged appearance of begging for forgiveness, vividly, "We have been squeezed here all night, and Mr. Chen agreed to go out to let the wind go, right, Mr. Chen?"

"Why are you here?" Chen Zhuo followed behind Zhou Yang slowly, and also came to Lu Shaoheng.

"Let me see how you spend the investor's money." After speaking, Lu Shaoheng turned to look at Zhou Yang, and joked: "Xiao Zhou, you don't look very good."

"Don't mention it, I didn't say it, the photography of your film is really bad, and it will be gray when it comes to night scenes." Zhou Yang opened his mouth quickly, and began to complain: "If it were shot by Bai Jie, it would definitely not have such an effect. ..."

Having said this, Zhou Yang stumbled and stopped abruptly.

How could she speak so carelessly, and so gracefully mention Bai Jie,

There is no more Bai Jie.

Zhou Yang was feeling annoyed on the other side, wishing to sew his mouth on the spot, so he heard Chen Zhuo next to him as if nothing happened, and said to her: "I won't go tonight, you go to supper by yourself, Xiao Bo will come over to pay the bill later .”

Zhou Yang went down the steps, treating himself who said something wrong as a cloud of air, and fled with his subordinates.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Yang and his party had already arrived across the street. Lu Shaoheng waved at them and turned to face Chen Zhuo. Both of them automatically ignored the topic of Bai Jie.

The expression on Chen Zhuo's face was a little serious, "Why didn't you call me?"

Just such a person waiting in the cold wind, of course, he didn't say this half sentence.

Lu Shaoheng looked away, and said lightly, "I just arrived for a while."

In fact, Lu Shaoheng had arrived for some time. After sending Wang Wenyu home at night, he came to Chen Zhuo on impulse.But when he got here, he didn't think about what to say to him, and the previous meeting was not pleasant, so he wandered outside Zhou Yang's studio alone.

Chen Zhuo didn't know the twists and turns.But he took a look at the thin clothes on Lu Shaoheng's body, and knew that when he crossed the road, he would stare at one or two kids, and he often wanted demeanor rather than warmth, so he suggested: "Let's find a place to sit down first and then we can talk."
