Lu Yao was shocked by the task notification and didn't know how to complain for a moment.
The system waited for a long time, but saw no response from her, so it couldn't help but ask: [Why isn't the shop owner talking? ]
Lu Yao: "What are you talking about? Including this mission upgrade, there are only three screening halls in total. How can three screening halls schedule the screenings of ten films in a month? Besides, let's talk about the funding. Even if it's a low-cost copyright, it will cost at least 20 to 30 million. I'll tighten the screws here and speed up the process, and it will be done. But can the people of Liangjing quickly accept the cultural shocks? It's all a problem."
System: [It has been confirmed that there is nothing wrong with this task. Since the type of business the store operates is decided by the store owner himself, any problems that arise during the operation are also solved by the store owner. The store owner has already opened four stores, and it would be impolite to raise such an unreasonable question.]
Lu Yao: “…”
System: [Any questions?]
Lu Yao: "Since you can't solve my problem, what difference does it make whether I mention it or not? I just feel that as a dream fulfillment system, you rarely talk about wishes recently. What happened?"
System: [… No, instead of having wild thoughts, the store owner should spend more time running the store.]
Lu Yao frowned, the system was indeed a little different.
[Lu Yao's Super Time and Space Cinema is extremely popular and has been upgraded to a two-star store with 2 screening rooms. Please keep up the good work! ]
Lu Yao raised his eyebrows. Can't this be adjusted flexibly
All the little tails are exposed.
She turned and walked out of the screening room. "I'll draw the blueprints for this upgrade later. Please help me put up some recruitment notices first."
The cinema's current staff is barely adequate, and once it is upgraded, it will need more staff.
Lu Yao has always wanted to recruit cleaning staff, but has not found one yet. For the time being, the cleaning of the cinema is done by a few clerks taking turns.
Due to the particularity of this era, cleaners must be both male and female.
With the expansion of the screening room, she also wants to recruit two employees to be responsible for checking tickets and guiding guests.
The system feedback has spread the recruitment information. Not only is a notice posted at the entrance of the cinema, but there is also a notice on the bulletin board in East City.
Lu Yao returned to the lounge to draw the upgrade blueprint and handed it to the system after completion.
Everyone got the blueprints, and the voice hesitated: [I remember the upgrade is to have three screening rooms? ]
Lu Yao: “Indeed.”
System: [… Then what picture did you draw? Why seven rooms? ]
Lu Yao: "I've thought about it. There will be ten new films released in the next month, and three screening rooms are really not enough. Besides, this morning, you saw many girls wearing men's clothes to the cinema. For us, the separation of men and women is not a problem, but for them, it may be a matter of life and death.
"As the saying goes, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. If we want to retain these guests, we have to consider the plan from their perspective. My blueprint seems to add seven screening rooms, but three of them are super mini-rooms that can accommodate ten people, and one is a small room that can accommodate twenty people. The remaining three are just two large screening rooms split into three, two small rooms that can accommodate thirty people, and one medium room that can accommodate forty people.
"After this upgrade, we can add 150 guests per show. Directly upgrading three screening rooms will only add 150 guests. In reality, we are only expanding three screening rooms."
According to the new drawings, Lu Yao planned to divide the two new screening rooms into three smaller screening rooms and expand them on this side of the screening room, namely Hall 3, Hall 4, and Hall 5.
The other three mini halls and one small hall are expanded on one side of the rest area, and are also divided into Halls 1, 2, 3 and 4. They are for guests who are not convenient to watch movies with others. Like the private rooms in restaurants and teahouses, they can be booked in advance and the price is slightly more expensive than ordinary screening halls.
The system does not accept such an upgrade plan and directly rejects it.
Lu Yao expected that it would not be so smooth, so he was not in a hurry. "You said that the store management problems need to be solved by the store owner himself. I actively proposed solutions, but you are unwilling to cooperate. Whose problem is this?"
System: [… You are a profiteer! You always try to cheat me! I don’t want to be with you anymore!]
Lu Yao: "When discussing something, he acts like a spoiled brat when he can't win the argument. This is not the courtesy that a mature system should have."
The system is going crazy. This woman always finds loopholes in the rules to mess with it.
He had just calculated it secretly, and according to her upgrade plan, it could indeed be implemented because the number of people had not increased.
But it didn't want to obey her so easily.
The system took a breath and said, "This upgrade plan is too overbearing. The number of guests received has not changed, but the scale of the upgrade is completely different. Four additional screens are required, and you also need to build a new toilet, fire protection system, monitoring system, and safe passage on the side of the rest area. Don't think I don't understand!"
Lu Yao exhaled and said in frustration: "You found out all this. Have you taken smart drugs recently?"
The system was annoyed: [Where can I find that kind of medicine!!! Anyway, I won’t upgrade you! ]
Lu Yao scratched his head, looking very troubled, and hesitated for a while: "This mission is indeed difficult for me. The cinema must be upgraded according to my ideas, otherwise, as the owner of a store, I always feel that I don't have the freedom I deserve."
system:[…]
The shop owner sighed weakly and said, "How about this? I'll use some of your popularity points to offset the extra cost of this upgrade so that your hard work won't be in vain."
The system was a little moved: [How much popularity value do you plan to pay? ]
Lu Yao blinked, "I don't quite understand, what do you think?"
System: [One million.]
Lu Yao: “Two hundred thousand.”
System: […I don’t want to talk to you.]
Lu Yao: "How about 400,000? Any more would be impolite."
System: […Deal.]
Lu Yao lowered his head and pursed his lips, he was so cute.
The cinema upgrade will be carried out tonight, but this time the scale is very large, so some cover-up work needs to be done. It may take six or seven days before it can be gradually opened.
-
The two premieres in the morning were both of "Meeting You Again in Falling Flowers", and the audience in the screening room was silent.
The ladies were extremely regretful and felt that they should not have come to the cinema rashly. At this time, they were completely immersed in the plot.
The opening of the assassination in the bathroom was so explosive that it almost instantly captured the attention of all the audience.
The next second, there was thunder and lightning, the candle in the room went out, and raindrops hit the banana leaves outside the window, dripping non-stop, and the atmosphere was gloomy and eerie.
I don't know how long it took, but the sound of rain gradually stopped.
A tiny lamp illuminates the small space in front of the old desk.
The thin man in pajamas and the woman in black nightgown looked at each other, both with disbelief and fear in their eyes.
The hero Shen Xiangjun and the female assassin Hua Shi exchanged souls on this stormy night.
Xie Wan was sitting in the corner, with Xie Xu beside him. The brother and sister put their hands into the popcorn bucket, forgetting what to do, and stared straight at the screen in front of them, not daring to be distracted.
The body and soul really were exchanged, and under such dramatic circumstances, it happened right before our eyes, with vivid and specific images and emotions that did not require any imagination.
What happens next
I want to know immediately!
After a brief confrontation, Shen Xiangjun felt a broken dagger on Hua Shi's waist, and immediately pulled it out and stabbed Hua Shi who was occupying her body.
Hua Shi was quick-witted and jumped three steps away. He drew the long sword from the low table behind him and put it on his neck. "Don't move. If you move again, I will be rude."
Shen Xiangjun: “…”
Shen Xiangjun slowly put down the dagger and felt that it was stupid of her to be about to attack the other party just now.
After probing each other with words several times, the two sat down again and decided to calmly look for a solution to their current dilemma.
They simulated the scene of soul swapping, trying to take the opportunity to get their bodies back, but unfortunately it was ineffective.
Then Hua Shi mentioned that it was thundering outside when they exchanged them, so maybe they would have to wait until a thunderstorm to exchange them back.
The next day, Lord Shen, who never had any contact with women, had a young maid by his side.
This maid has a bad temper, a strange personality, and a sharp tongue, but Lord Shen dotes on her and pampers her.
The maids in the outer courtyard of the Shen Mansion felt as if they had lemons in their hearts, and were filled with jealousy.
Soon, the maid named Hanatoki began to be bullied in both overt and covert ways.
The characters in the play do not know that the person wearing Hua Shi's skin is actually Lord Shen, who uses all kinds of mocking words and malicious frame-ups.
People outside the play found it both amusing and sad to see "Hua Shi" being framed, bullied, and locked up in the woodshed, and then rescued by "Lord Shen" who hurried back from court.
Those maids might never have thought that the "Hua Shi" who was bullied and excluded by them was actually the master they served, and they were still jealous and resentful of Hua Shi when he was sold out.
Wan Baozhu arrived early and, based on past experience, bought a seat near the back.
Hongyu was waiting for an opportunity to enter the cinema and had not been here recently. Wanbaozhu was accompanied by her maid Cuizhu.
Cuizhu was reluctant to go to the cinema at first, but she came with Wan Baozhu once and watched "The Little Chef of Shengjing". From then on, she looked forward to His Highness coming out to take her out every day.
Maids usually have to serve their masters, unlike ordinary people who have the opportunity to play around at any time.
If they want to leave the house, they must have a legitimate reason.
But if there was any reason, I wouldn't dare stay outside for an hour or two without any reason.
Wan Baozhu was not harsh towards her servants, and Cuizhu's little thoughts could not be hidden from her, which was quite interesting to watch sometimes.
When Cuizhu saw the maid making things difficult for Hua Shi, she couldn't help but recall the days when she first entered the palace as a little maid, and her eyes became wet with tears.
This story is interesting, but also cruel.
When she saw later that "Hua Shi" was rescued by "Lord Shen" who had returned, Cuizhu felt sad, but the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.
Hua Shi carried Lord Shen out of the woodshed like a princess, shocking everyone in the mansion.
Shen Xiangjun herself was a frail civil official, who was sickly and had a bad temper, and offended many people in the court.
Hua Shi took over his body and often exercised secretly when he went out. Later, he became stronger than he was.
The two people exchanged souls, and the originally unconventional plot was handled in a humorous way.
This small incident caused some changes in the relationship between Shen Xiangjun and Hua Shi, but the laughter continued.
Lord Shen has a nickname of "Cold-Faced King of Hell" among his colleagues and has few friends in the court.
Hua Shi used Lord Shen's body and identity to walk in the court, which made her more likable than Shen Xiangjun herself.
On this day, "Lord Shen" was out at a social gathering, and he drank so much that his cheeks turned red and his eyes were filled with stars.
The servant came to report that the master's personal maid suddenly fell seriously ill and was unable to get up.
"Lord Shen" suddenly sobered up and hurried back home under the meaningful looks of his colleagues.
After entering the inner courtyard and going to the side room, he waved away everyone else and went into Hua Shi's bedroom alone.
At that time, "Hua Shi" was lying on the bed, his forehead and cheeks were covered with sweat, and his lips were pale.
Before "Lord Shen" came close, the smell of alcohol had already wafted over.
"Hua Shi" thought about how he was in so much pain in his hands and feet that he couldn't get up in the mansion, and how this guy was using his body to live a life of luxury and debauchery outside, and he hated him so much that his teeth were itching.
The "flower time" does not mean you are sick, but your menstrual period has come.
When the word "monthly news" came out of the real Hua Shi's mouth, the ** "Hua Shi" turned even paler, and the audience outside the screen felt the heat rushing from the soles of their feet to their foreheads.
The plot and lines of this movie are so awesome, and these contents are something they would never dare to mention easily in their life concepts.
However, the high-energy plot continues. "Lord Shen" teaches "Hua Shi" how to use a menstrual belt and gives him hot water.
It was late at night and Hua Shi was tossing and turning in pain. Lord Shen lifted the quilt and reached out to cover Hua Shi's stomach, and he did not leave all night.
In the screening room, someone showed a puzzled expression, but after a moment he understood that it turned out that women's period was so painful.
I also learned some physiological knowledge unconsciously. It is best for women not to touch cold water during their menstrual period, not to overwork, and to be considerate of their bad temper.
Because it seems to really hurt.
On the screen, the two used each other's bodies to re-understand the world from a completely different perspective, and continued to try to exchange them back, and their feelings accumulated unknowingly.
The Prince of Jin was sitting in the row behind Xie Xu. The back of his ears was red and he glanced at Chen Yuning beside him out of the corner of his eye - this guy was too noisy.
Chen Yuning stared at the screen, his mind uncontrollably filled with these hilarious plots, directly transforming the "Shen Xiangjun" in a female body into some people he normally couldn't stand, even the Prince of Jin, who was used to having a Sima face, with his mouth corners almost cracked to the back of his ears.
Whoever came up with these plots is a genius!
After the "menstrual period" incident, the atmosphere between Shen Xiangjun and Hua Shi became awkward, and the two began to deliberately avoid each other.
At this time, His Majesty's favorite princess saw "Lord Shen" at the banquet, and was surprised to find that "he" seemed to have changed his personality and was no longer a cold piece of wood. He was more pleasing to the eye than before.
The princess's love was too heavy, and "Lord Shen" hid for a few days, but he couldn't bear it anymore, so he had to go to "Hua Shi" and ask him to think of a solution.
"Hua Shi" crossed his arms and said with a serious expression: "Why do you think I was so unkind before?"
The purpose was to avoid some unnecessary trouble, but this guy ruined his image and attracted many women everywhere. It makes me angry just thinking about it.
In the audience, Cuizhu quietly went to see Wan Baozhu's expression.
Wan Baozhu's eyes were calm. She wasn't laughing like the other audience members at the plot, but she didn't look angry either.
"Hua Shi"'s advice to "Lord Shen" was to act like his original cold self and annoy the princess.
After thinking it over, "Lord Shen" found an opportunity to talk to the princess alone at a dinner party and expressed his attitude earnestly and sincerely.
The princess was heartbroken, but she didn't persist.
At that time, Hua Shi secretly said "I'm sorry" to Shen Xiangjun in his heart, as this might affect his career.
Hua Shi later told Shen Xiangjun that this was the first time she was liked by someone. Although she was just borrowing his shell, she was very happy and didn't want to treat him perfunctorily.
Lord Shen's eyes were dark and he remained silent for a long time.
Wan Baozhu raised his eyebrows, and there was some interest in his eyes.
This thing called "movie" always gives her some surprises.
Interesting, really interesting.
As the plot gradually reaches its climax, Shen Xiangjun learns about Hua Shi's past.
She is an orphan whose parents died in a famine more than ten years ago.
Hua Shi was wandering alone, and was later chased by bandits. He fell off a cliff and almost died.
He was rescued while unconscious, but was trained to be an assassin and started taking on killing missions before he was ten years old.
In recent years, the government has been in turmoil, and natural disasters have continued, making life more difficult for the people.
One day, the man who adopted Hua Shi ran away with all the money, leaving her behind along with many other half-raised refugee children.
These children were originally trained to be killers, and killing or starving to death was not a difficult choice.
But they lost even that choice.
Hua Shi couldn't bear to see them follow the same path she had taken, so she relied on the few connections she had accumulated in the past to continue taking on assassination missions and support these children.
The assassination of "Shen Xiangjun" was originally the last assassination mission in her plan. The employer offered a very high price, enough for her to start a new life with those children.
However, things did not go as she wished. She was trapped in the last mission and got deeper and deeper into it.
Hua Shi traveled around under the identity of "Master Shen" and gradually pieced together his life story - a child from a poor family, whose parents died early, who had been oppressed by his family since childhood, and who was also weak and sickly. He did not believe in fate, and studied hard for nearly ten years, and made a name for himself.
From then on, he advanced step by step cautiously, and now he is only one step away from becoming a close minister of the emperor.
He had great ambitions, wanting to be second to none and to bring honor to his family and leave a lasting reputation.
But on my own, it is difficult to get any closer.
The person who hired the murderer, the situation in the court, and Shen Xiangjun's official career, the three lines converge together, behind which is the huge shadow of the struggle for power in the officialdom. Corresponding to the approaching crisis is the implicit and warm friendship between the two.
At this point in the plot, no one cares whether their relationship is in accordance with the rules and reason, and no one wants to discuss whether their words and deeds are presumptuous. They just want to see the two of them work together to resolve the crisis and have a happy and satisfactory ending.
-
Lu Yao came out of the lounge and asked Fu Chi to look after the store, as she needed to go to the Night Light City.
The latest mission is too difficult, and the progress of introducing new films must be accelerated.
The radio suddenly sounded, and the premiere of "Meeting You Again in Falling Flowers" had just ended.
Lu Yao walked to the ticket gate and called out to Kuba, wanting to tell him not to rush off after get off work today, but he saw that this guy was in tears and crying like a puppy, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
He sobbed and wiped his face with his sleeves. He glared at Lu Yao weakly and turned to guide the guests out.
Almost all the guests had red eyes, as if they had just cried.
Many guests began to sob as they walked, and mumbled the names of Hua Shi and Shen Xiangjun.
Most of the noble ladies who came to watch the movie in men's clothes hurriedly got into the carriages, their eyes red and swollen.
The audience who bought tickets for the second show sat in the lounge waiting. When they saw the audience coming out crying, they couldn't help but feel nervous. Could it be that the film was not good this time
Oh my god!
The ticket price this time is more expensive than before. If it doesn’t look good, I will be really angry and cry.
Someone stopped a guest who had just come out of the screening room and asked carefully, "Isn't it good?"
The man wiped his face fiercely with his sleeve and glared at him, "You must go and see it, or you will regret it!"
As he spoke, he started crying loudly again, leaving the guest who asked the question confused.
Lu Yao looked around for a while, turned his back and wanted to laugh, but when he looked up and saw Zhu Zhu with tears in her eyes, he suppressed his smile and said seriously, "It's okay, I'm leaving first. I have something to do today."
Zhu Zhu grabbed Lu Yao's clothes, shoved herself up to him, and cried loudly, "Boss, I feel so bad! Why, why!!!"
Lu Yao had no choice but to turn around and hug Zhu Zhu to comfort her: "Don't cry, don't cry."
The system seemed to have suddenly reached a rebellious stage, not wanting to miss any opportunity to target the store owner: [Pretend, just pretend! You are the culprit! ]
Lu Yao wanted to laugh, but was afraid of upsetting Zhu Zhu's fragile little heart again, so he breathed in and out desperately to calm himself.
The endings of the drama version and the movie version of "Meeting You Again in Falling Flowers" are different. The drama version has a happy ending, with Lord Shen overcoming all difficulties and marrying Hua Shi, but the movie version has an open ending.
The copyrights of both versions belong to that company, and the price offered by the other party is the same.
Lu Yao quickly went through both versions and finally chose the movie version.
Judging from the audience’s reaction today, this choice must have been the right one.
Crying and laughing, feeling happy and sad, having expectations and regrets, the ups and downs of emotions are more profound than a smooth road that you can see the end of.
In the ending of the movie version, Shen Xiangjun and Hua Shi worked together to clear up the deep-rooted problems in the court, the evildoers got the punishment they deserved, the disaster and banditry in Hua Shi's hometown were all resolved, and the souls of the two finally returned to their original positions.
Through Hua Shi's perspective, Shen Xiangjun once again experienced the suffering of the people and re-examined himself, and his ambition had a little more lofty ideals.
Hua Shi witnessed the intrigues in the court, and knew that Shen Xiangjun was walking on thin ice with every step, and she would never be able to help him again.
She suddenly thought of the wild osmanthus trees swaying in the wind on the hillside in front of her home many years ago, and she was eager to return home.
Hua Shi said goodbye to Shen Xiangjun, left Kyoto with the group of children, and returned to the barren mountains (place name).
Many years later, Shen Xiang, who had returned home in glory, passed through the mountains. He felt unwell due to the dampness and stopped to seek medical treatment.
I came across a college on the way. The door was wide open and the sound of reading could be heard from inside the courtyard.
He walked to the door tremblingly. There were both male and female students in the yard. The female teacher was holding a book in her hand. Her voice was slightly hoarse and her face was eroded by the wind and frost.
She seemed to sense something and looked up. Her dark eyes were still as clear and boundless as they were back then.
Prime Minister Shen was stunned.
The wind blew, and the apricot tree leaning against the loess wall rustled softly, and then the apricot blossoms fell like snow.
Shen Xiangjun couldn't help but reach out, but unfortunately she caught nothing.
It's been years since we last met.
I meet you again in the season of falling flowers.
