Lu Wen walked around again, lest anyone who slipped through the net forgot to say hello.
When he was a big fat boy, he was held by his father with one arm to attend the banquet, and everyone came to tease him and pinch his cheeks. That was the first time he socialized while drooling.
From childhood to adulthood, he has seen many scenes by his father's side, and even met many famous people. In the light of his father, he doesn't need to worry about anything on that occasion, just poke there, no matter the truth or falsehood, it's enough to enjoy the praise and flattery.
Now wandering alone, he would shake his wine glass around, laughing so hard that his face was sore. But he was tired, and he handled it with ease.
Lu Wen picked an unoccupied table in the corner, half-screened by a screen, and sat in the leather chair with his legs crossed, idling around.
Sun Xiaojian was like a wild dog, smelling it and looking for it, the straight man's happiness on his face has not faded: "Xian Qi is so fucking beautiful, I have fallen, I really want to take care of her."
Lu Wen said, "I'll ask for you to see if she still needs an assistant."
Sun Xiaojian still has a conscience: "I am not a person who values sex over friends. No matter how much the temptation from the outside world is, I will never leave you until you become popular."
Lu Wen worried: "In case I never become popular, do I have to give you a pension?"
"Bah, bah, bah!" Sun Xiaojian said, "You are now the number one male, and you are Qu Yanting's number one male. When this movie is finished and broadcast, you will definitely become famous."
Every little star has fantasized about becoming popular, receiving soft scripts and commercials, being overwhelmed with schedules, surrounded by fans when going out, and getting tens of thousands of comments on Weibo for farting.
Guessing he was so hungry that he had hypoglycemia, Lu Wen asked dazedly, "If I become popular, how many plays will I get if I release an album?"
Sun Xiaojian's face collapsed: "The way you miss the music scene is very much like me coveting Xianqi."
"Deep love?"
"No, idiots are talking about dreams."
Before Lu Wen and Sun Xiaojian started fighting, someone suddenly walked around the screen, it was the director's assistant.
Sun Xiaojian got up immediately: "You are here, sit down quickly!"
The director's assistant stopped by the table: "I won't sit down, I'll leave after I finish talking."
Sun Xiaojian couldn't wait: "Does Director Ren have any arrangements?"
"Yes, I'll let you know." The assistant said, "Mr. Lu, Editor Qu wants to see you. Are you going to the private room later, is ten minutes enough?"
Sun Xiaojian answered quickly: "Enough is enough, we are always ready."
The director's assistant broke the news: "Director Ren didn't want the actors to disturb Qu Bian, because Qu Bian never liked contact with actors, but Qu Bian asked to see the leading actor by name."
Lu Wen asked in surprise, "You want to see me by name?"
"It's absolutely true." The assistant director said, "You will be there in ten minutes."
Lu Wen hurriedly asked: "What does Teacher Qu look like, I haven't seen him before."
The director's assistant replied: "Editor Qu is sitting next to Director Ren, wearing black clothes. On the other side of Director Ren is Mr. Zhou of Haoyang Culture, the leader of the co-producers. You can also say hello by the way."
Sun Xiaojian hurriedly agreed, and when the other party left, he grabbed Lu Wen's hands and said, "Did you hear that? Teacher Qu called to see you."
Lu Wen was tired of waiting, but now he was full of energy: "You are right, Teacher Qu will meet me!"
Sun Xiaojian said: "Hurry up, hurry up and get ready, in ten minutes you will meet Bole, who is an actor."
Lu Wen scratched his head: "How do I prepare? What did I say when I saw him?"
Sun Xiaojian took out a piece of paper from his pocket: "Don't panic, brother has already drafted the words for you."
Lu Wen is the least good at flattering, so if you have a draft, you can do it on your back.
Sun Xiaojian said: "Qu Yanting makes friends with big names, and he is used to being calm and familiar. You have to show your small and transparent qualities, sincerity, clumsiness, and even nervous stuttering. It makes Qu Yanting feel rare, and feels that you see him How exciting, understand?"
"Understood." Lu Wen quickly memorized the words, there were only a few sentences, and Qu Yanting was impatient by talking too much.
Sun Xiaojian reminded: "Since Editor Qu wants to see you by name, he will probably chat with you and ask you questions."
"Huh?" Lu Wen was most afraid of the teacher's question since he was a child, "It won't be too difficult, right?"
Sun Xiaojian said: "You just remember one thing. For questions that you are not sure about, you would rather answer that you don't know than to play freely. Sincerity is the most important thing. Don't pretend to be coercive in front of Qu Bian."
Ten minutes passed quickly. Lu Wen left the banquet hall with his wine glass in his hand. Sun Xiaojian accompanied him from the end of the corridor to the outside of the box. There seemed to be a little sound through the door.
Lu Wen said, "I'm going in to pretend to be my grandson."
"Go, smile cutely." Sun Xiaojian clasped his hands together, "I pray for you, Amitabha."
Lu Wen went, and when he reached the door of the box, Sun Xiaojian caught up.
Afraid that he would not be able to remember, Sun Xiaojian deliberately waited until the last moment, and reminded: "After finishing the speech, add an exaggerated, sensational, and distinctive sentence at the end, so that Teacher Qu will remember you the first time he sees you. Only Remember you, and he will have a chance to think of you in the future."
Lu Wen remembered them one by one, and said to the waiter, "Open the door."
The two opposite doors are pushed open, and the old New York-style mini porch comes into view. A curved table serves as a partition, and the vase on it is filled with Western peonies. Through the blooming branches, Lu Wen can see the whole peacock feather-colored background wall inside.
He approached the banquet under the wall, the exaggerated round table was covered with exaggerated dishes, champagne and Wuliangye bottles were scattered all over the place, and a circle of velvet seats was full of people, more than half of them were slightly drunk.
Before Lu Wen had time to glance at each of them, he fixed his eyes for a while, and the first thing he saw was Qu Yanting.
He was a little nervous at first, but now he was completely stunned.
what's the situation! Why is this man sitting in the box? !
In front of Qu Yanting was a bowl of hot noodles. He didn't eat the shrimps and crabs on the table and drank a lot of wine, so he specially asked for a bowl of noodles to rest his stomach. Hearing footsteps, he raised his head and met Lu Wen's eyes across the diameter of the round table.
Lu Wen widened his eyes, and asked silently with his eyes: Why are you here? !
Qu Yanting raised her eyebrows and shrugged slightly.
Before they could communicate the results in silence, Ren Shu waved: "Xiao Lu is here."
Lu Wen came back to his senses, looked away from Qu Yanting, and looked at Ren Shu. He was shocked again, this man was actually sitting next to the director!
What identity? ! Sitting next to the director? !
Lu Wen's brain is running at high speed. This man wants the production director to personally pick him up from the airport, take the director's private luxury car, not participate in the script reading, and sit in the box at the opening banquet...
Thinking of what the director's assistant said, the person sitting next to Director Ren is...
Lu Wen finally understood that this man turned out to be the leader of Haoyang Culture, Mr. Zhou.
He looked at Qu Yanting again, with a stiff expression, suspecting that he had unknowingly offended the big head of the co-producer.
Seeing Lu Wen's embarrassing expression, Ren Shu guessed that he was embarrassed because he got in the wrong car, and said, "Xiao Lu, don't be dazed, and give Teacher Qu a cup first."
Lu Wen suddenly woke up, yes, he came to see Qu Yanting.
Qu Yanting is the biggest investor, as long as Qu Yanting appreciates him, others don't care.
Next to the director is Mr. Zhou, and on the other side is Qu Yanting. Lu Wen thought, and his eyes drifted to the other side of Ren Shu. The man was wearing a suit and leather shoes, gold-rimmed glasses, and was slightly fat. He looked like a well-educated screenwriter.
But is the director's assistant color-blind? Mr. Qu clearly wears gray clothes.
Qu Yanting lowered his head to eat the noodles. From the corner of his eye, Lu Wen walked around the half-circle seat and kept approaching. He smelled the fresh scent of citrus perfume again amidst the smell of alcohol.
Then, Lu Wen passed him without stopping.
Walking to the other side of Ren Shu, Lu Wen stopped beside Mr. Zhou. If you look closely, the top of the other person's head is a bit bald, he thought, it seems that writing is more troublesome.
Focusing his eyes, Mr. Zhou raised his head hesitantly.
Lu Wen slightly bowed and looked at Mr. Zhou. According to the words he had memorized in advance, he spoke uprightly and loudly—"Mr. Qu, hello."
The sound of eating noodles stopped.
Lu Wen took a deep breath: "Teacher Qu, my name is Lu Wen. You probably know my name, but I can't help it... I want to tell you again face to face."
"I've always been a fan of yours, but I can't even imagine that one day I can be in your script. I'm so lucky to be able to meet you today, I'm so excited!"
Mr. Zhou said: "Young man..."
"Hey!" Lu Wen agreed.
It was inevitable that Qu Yanting asked the question so quickly, and he said first: "Teacher Qu, I know that every character is created by you, especially the protagonist. I will definitely study the script carefully and try my best to complete my role. Just watch Let me show it!"
He was empty for a second after he finished speaking, fearing that he would appear clumsy if he was too coherent, then he held the champagne in both hands, and smiled a little silly and shyly: "Teacher Qu, I hope to have the honor to cooperate with you in the future."
Mr. Zhou said: "I..."
"You can do whatever you want!" Lu Wen insisted until the last sentence, "I will do it first!"
He picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, and suddenly remembered Sun Xiaojian's reminder to say an exaggerated, sensational, and unusual sentence at the end, so that Qu Yanting would remember him.
Lu Wen looked at the wrinkles at the corners of Mr. Zhou's eyes and the faintly shiny top of his head, and estimated his age.
He gritted his teeth, braved his face, and said at the risk of being beaten when he returned home: "Teacher Qu, I grew up in a single-parent family. Seeing you today...is like seeing my father."
There was complete silence in the box, and the drunken people were sober.
Qu Yanting put down his chopsticks, turned his face and raised his eyelids to look at Lu Wen's tall back.
His mouth was full of spicy, but his voice was like a cup of cold Longjing tea, and he said "Hello" unhurriedly.
Suddenly, Lu Wen was startled and turned around.
Qu Yanting looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, and said softly: "Fool, the surname Qu is here."
