The bedroom was silent except for the heavy and rapid sound of rain outside the window.
Qin Mingde took two steps forward, stopped in front of the curtain, and spoke again: "Your Majesty?"
Emperor Wu came back to his senses, opened his mouth, and tried to speak: "Qin Mingde."
Qin Mingde: "The servant is here."
Emperor Wu: "What time is it?"
Qin Mingde: "One o'clock in the morning."
Emperor Wu stood up and Qin Mingde came in to help him change clothes.
There were thunder and lightning, and the rain was getting heavier.
Emperor Wu stood at the window, staring quietly at the rain, his face gloomy and solemn.
In the forty-ninth year of the Wu calendar, he actually went back to five years ago.
Why is this so
Could it be that God felt that he had chosen the wrong person and brought him back to life
Emperor Wu leaned on the window sill with both hands, and the raindrops hit the back of his hands heavily, chilling him to the bone.
The face of the late crown prince emerged in Emperor Wu's mind. He was the eldest son who most resembled him and was the most virtuous. Thinking of him now, he still felt filled with remorse.
If the prince had not died, why would he have to face such a dilemma
"Qin Mingde."
"The servant is here."
"Xuan Deyi should enter the palace."
Qin Mingde glanced at the rain outside the window and felt that Emperor Wu was in a gloomy mood. He did not dare to refuse and stepped back with his whisk in his arms: "I will go right away."
The storm continued all night, and it was late at night, so it was not easy to enter or leave the palace.
When Wan Baozhu received the oral order and got into the palace by car, it was already the morning of the morning.
-
In the early morning, the sudden rain stopped, the sun rose in the east, the fog dissipated, and the air was exceptionally fresh.
Residents living near Song'an Street discovered early in the morning that a huge screen had been installed on the second floor of the cinema. The screen was larger than the two advertising screens on the first floor combined, almost blocking all vision from the second floor and pressing firmly above the cinema's sign.
This screen is very impressive and is mounted very high, so it can probably be seen from three or five streets away.
At the same time, some people were also wondering, it rained heavily all night yesterday, when was the screen installed
Moreover, there is no eaves on the second floor to shelter from the rain. Isn’t this screen afraid of rain
There are too many things that are hard to understand about movie theaters. After a period of confusion, most people habitually give up thinking about it.
At this time, the screen was dark and nothing was playing.
The people were a little excited, wondering if the big screen was any different from the small screen below
Is there a new movie coming out
When the cinema opened in the morning, the clerks were also surprised to see the new screen.
The owner did say yesterday that he had bought a large screen and was going to install it on the second floor.
They thought it was about the same size as the first floor, but they didn't expect it to be so huge.
Le Han and Rong Shenghua walked out of their respective shops, put their hands in their sleeves and watched the fun. Thinking about what Lu Yao said last night, this new screen was different from the previous ones, they were secretly looking forward to it.
There is about a half-day time difference between the cinema and the shopping street, but except for Fu Chi, the three new post-production team members have the same working hours as other store employees and come in the morning.
The cinema was open at that time, and the post-production team had not yet delivered the trailer of "The Moon Landing Project". Lu Yao had nothing to do, so he planned to go to Yanzhilou in the morning to arrange the lipstick production.
The shop assistants were having breakfast in the lounge. Lu Yao finished first and planned to go out.
Gou Zi came a little late today and bumped into Lu Yao at the main entrance and handed her a note.
Lu Yao was stunned for a moment, then reached out to take it: "Who gave it to you?"
Gouzi: "I just met a kid. He said he was Changming's neighbor and was delivering a letter for Changming."
Lu Yao opened the note and saw Chang Ming’s handwriting was very beautiful.
He said he had something to do at home and asked for a day off.
Lu Yao put away the note, feeling a bit troubled: "Chang Ming asked for leave, and we are short of people to check tickets on the second floor. Hey, the recruitment notice has been posted at the door for several days, why is no one here?"
After Qin Sanwei came, there were no new people coming to the cinema, and even fewer people asked about the service.
Lu Yao found it very strange, but couldn't find anything wrong.
Gouzi suggested: "Why not let Sister Qiqi take over for a day? I'm enough for the store."
"Excuse me, are they recruiting here?" A clear female voice suddenly interrupted from the side.
Lu Yao looked up and saw a man and a woman standing at the bottom of the stairs. They looked very young, around their teens.
Lu Yao patted the dog, let him go in to eat first, and turned to chat with the boy and girl.
The boy's name is Shuishan and the girl's name is Mingshi.
The two men claimed that they were from Xishi and had heard that the cinema was recruiting, so they came over to ask.
The boy and girl are smart, speak clearly, seem to be good at work, and can read and do arithmetic.
Lu Yao felt that the two men were not telling the truth, but he also did not see any ill intentions. Since the store was currently short of staff, he signed a seven-day trial contract with them.
After finishing her meal, Die Qi came out of the lounge and saw Shuishan and Mingshi sitting opposite Lu Yao. She almost couldn't control her expression.
Jin Lu and Qi Wu haven't gone back yet, why are San'er and Si'er here too
Lu Yao saw Die Qi and greeted her directly, "Qi Qi, Chang Ming has asked for leave today. This is Ming Shi and Shui Shan. I just interviewed them and signed a trial contract. You and Ku Ba should work harder and take care of them today. I'll need you to take care of the second floor in the morning, as I have to go out."
Before leaving the cinema, Lu Yao took out his cell phone and sent a voice message to the work group, asking Fu Chi to urge the production of the trailer for "The Moon Landing Project" and also mentioned the situation of Shuishan and Mingshi.
Die Qi watched Lu Yao walk out of Song'an Street, then turned around and grabbed Shui Shan and Ming Shi, looking at them unkindly: "What's wrong with you two?"
Ming Shi looked innocent: "The Pavilion Master sent us on a mission."
Die Qi didn't believe it.
Shui Shan continued, "Really. Recently, for some reason, a few clients wanted to investigate the cinema, and you guys were slow to report back, so the Pavilion Master asked us to come to Beijing."
Die Qi covered her face: "... What is the situation in the pavilion now?"
Ming Shi: "Yiyi and Taier just happened to return to the pavilion and took our place."
Die Qi: “…”
Strangely enough, inexplicably, Ling Xiaoge's top killer was almost emptied out by the cinema.
Shuishan was quite pleased with himself: "We were very careful and very lucky. We saw they were hiring people when we first arrived, and we didn't reveal anything when the shopkeeper asked us questions just now."
Mingshi nodded.
Ku Ba and Ye Xiao came out of the lounge and saw Shui Shan and Ming Shi. When they heard that the two were recruited by Lu Yao into the cinema, they exchanged greetings again.
Ye Xiao is always silent.
Mingshi greeted happily, and he just nodded.
Kuba was much more lawless. He patted his chest and said that he would protect the two of them in the cinema in the future.
Die Qi gave a strict order with a cold face, that he must not reveal the fact that he was old acquaintance with Mingshi and Shuishan in front of the shopkeeper and other employees.
Jin Lu and Qi Wu ran to the snack street in Taipei City to have breakfast early in the morning and were dumbfounded when they came back. They had been begging and pleading for several days, but Die Qi still refused to allow them to work in the cinema as employees.
As a result, Shuishan and Mingshi got there first, and he was almost angry to death.
-Lu Yao came to Yanzhi Tower two days ago and met Su Su.
Today it was Su Su who answered the door. When she heard Lu Yao's voice, she immediately opened the door: "Master, have you had breakfast?"
Last time, Su Su listened to Lu Yao talk about the basic methods of modern lipstick making, and learned basic sterilization knowledge with Xu Niangzi, and then she became his apprentice.
Lu Yao declined several times, saying that he was actually a novice as well.
But after listening to the class, Xu Niangzi and Su Su felt that they had gotten an advantage and insisted on becoming his disciples.
After becoming his disciple, Su Su had to treat Lu Yao with the same respect as she treated Xu.
Lu Yao thought about the similar process when he was training apprentices in a nail salon, so he didn't refuse anymore.
However, she still made Su Su sign a confidentiality agreement first, and finally accepted her as her apprentice.
To this end, Lu Yao would finish her daily work in the shopping street during the day, and frantically search for information and learn about beauty-related knowledge at night.
Lu Yao entered the yard first, "I've already eaten. Are you guys eating?"
Su Su nodded.
Perhaps Mrs. Xu heard Lu Yao's voice and came out of the room.
Lu Yao greeted her and walked to the side room, "You guys eat first, I'll go in and take a look."
The backyard of Yanzhi Building is very large, and there are still many empty rooms for mother and son to live in.
Originally, the two doors next to the wing room were warehouses, used to store materials for making rouge and finished goods.
The last time Lu Yao came, he discussed with them and decided to clean up three empty rooms in the side wing. One door would be used as the raw material preparation room, one door would be the disinfection room, and the last door would be the packaging room.
Two new five-layer wooden shelves and two large wooden cabinets with many drawers were built in the preparation room to store raw materials, as well as many small containers, which were all experimental tools.
A mini earthen kiln was built in the disinfection room, and there is also a stove next to it for making fire and boiling water, which is mainly used for high-temperature disinfection.
In addition, Lu Yao purified the roasted wine of the Dawu Dynasty and mixed it into alcohol of suitable concentration, which was also used for disinfection.
When she was purifying the roasted wine and trying to mix disinfectant alcohol, she brought Su Su with her.
Lu Yao thought about using modern disinfection machines to achieve the desired effect in one step, but he soon gave up.
Exploring the world, exploring the truth, exploring the future, and even exploring oneself are all very interesting things.
Compared to directly obtaining the current world's optimal solution, cultivating an apprentice who can think and has hands-on skills seems to be a form of exploration.
Lu Yao tried his best to break down some modern common sense, transforming it into concepts that were easier for ancient people to understand, and taught it to Su Su.
They discussed and decided to use the lipstick style used in movie theaters for the first time, which is a tube-shaped lipstick that can be screwed in and out.
This style is small and convenient, and it is a style that the people of the Dawu Dynasty have never seen before, so it is quite eye-catching.
The principle of the lipstick tube is not complicated. They plan to carve the base out of wood and use porcelain for the outer shell.
Lu Yao and Xu Niangzi worked together to complete the design of the lipstick's appearance. There are two sizes in total - a 1.5-gram mini trial tube and a 3.2-gram full-size tube.
The full-size lipstick tube will have flowers of different shapes fired according to the color number, while the mini lipstick tube is made of white porcelain without any patterns.
After Lu Yao and Xu Niangzi discussed the details of the outer packaging, Xu Niangzi went out of the city to find a kiln factory to customize the lipstick tube.
Yanzhilou originally had cooperation with kiln factories, and often asked them to make small jars for rouge and powder.
Lu Yao and Su Su went to Xishi to find a familiar carpenter to customize a lipstick base sample.
After the deal was settled, the two returned to Rouge Building and began to study the color of the lipstick.
After all, it is a collaboration with cinemas, and Lu Yao plans to link the lipstick colors with the heroines who have appeared in films shown in cinemas, and will also promote the film from relevant angles.
When one is busy, one loses track of time. After an unknown amount of time, Madam Xu returned from outside the city, bringing two craftsmen with her.
The door to the backyard of Yanzhi Building was open, and Madam Xu asked Lu Yao to come to the door and talk.
Lu Yao met the two craftsmen and turned his head to look at Madam Xu, wondering what she meant.
Madam Xu nodded to the older craftsman, who took out a cloth bag from his bosom and carefully opened the four corners, revealing a piece of porcelain.
To be precise, it is a translucent piece of porcelain that looks like glass.
Madam Xu said, "I went to place an order, and when I saw the masters making this kind of porcelain, I wanted to bring it to you to see."
The master of the kiln factory said that someone saw a strange wall in the city that was as clear as jade and could see things, and it was very strong and could not be broken even by knocking with stones. After returning to the kiln factory, the master could not forget it, and couldn't help but try to fire it out of his desire.
However, no equivalent utensils have been fired yet, and these are all semi-finished products.
Lu Yao: “… So you guys used stones to knock on the doors and windows of my cinema.”
The master and his apprentice: "..."
Lu Yao's eyes were calm, and he clearly didn't accuse anyone, which made people feel even more ashamed.
The master and his apprentice were too embarrassed to raise their heads. Unexpectedly, the new customer turned out to be the owner of the cinema.
The atmosphere was stagnant for a while, and the old master took the initiative to apologize, and even said that he would give Lu Yao 100 formal lipstick tubes to express his apology.
The two new containers that Xu Niangzi had ordered were ingenious and exquisite, but the difficulty lay in making sure that each empty tube was the same size.
The old master is a down-to-earth person and believes that this is the only way to show his sincerity in his apology.
Lu Yao asked them to make samples and send them over first.
The dimensions of the lipstick tube shell and base had been determined, and Lu Yao also gave samples (of other materials) to the carpenters and kiln factory masters, asking them to follow suit.
After the samples on both sides are matched and pass the quality inspection, they will be mass-produced.
When the master and apprentice from the kiln factory left, Lu Yao hesitated for a moment, and finally did not remind them how to fire glass.
If they try hard, they will eventually be able to make decent glass.
However, it is not possible to make glass as hard as the one used in movie theaters for the time being.
After chatting with the master craftsman at the kiln factory, it was getting late, so Lu Yao prepared to go back to the cinema.
Su Su was still studying the color matching in the mixing room. Lu Yao watched for a while, encouraged her to continue, then packed up and left.
When Lu Yao returned to the cinema, Fu Chi happened to be about to go next door to see the post-production team.
Fu Chi: "They said they are almost done, and they haven't seen you yet. Let's go and see it together?"
Lu Yao remembered that he had not met the new employee yet and it was indeed time for him to get to know him.
Lu Yao and Fu Chi walked into the office one after another. When Gao Meng saw Lu Yao, he thought he was a new employee.
I hadn't seen this person yesterday. She looked very young. Gao Meng felt that she should be younger than me.
Fu Chi then introduced the two parties. Gao Si and Gao Meng were a little surprised. They didn't expect the boss to be so young.
Liu Tang felt a little strange and kept staring at Lu Yao, with an expression that showed some fear that he couldn't hide.
Lu Yao looked over, confused: "Is there something on my face?"
Liu Tang came back to his senses, shook his head wildly, and finally asked stupidly: "Yesterday, the kid in the nail salon was your son?"
In fact, this was not what he wanted to say. Liu Tang was so surprised that he did not expect to see Lu Yao again.
Gao Meng also remembered a child with light blue hair and eyes, "He really looks exactly like you."
Lu Yao shook his head. "You mean Mumu? He's not my son. He just happens to look like him."
Gao Meng felt that it might be intruding on his privacy and it would be impolite to ask further, but he was certain in his heart that Mumu was Lu Yao's son.
Because that child really looks like the one in front of him.
Lu Yao thought Gao Meng understood, so he stopped explaining and paid no attention to Liu Tang. He looked at Gao Si and asked, "How's the trailer editing going?"
Lu Yao asked for only a 30-second trailer. After watching the sample, she found that it was indeed better than the promotional video of "Project Moon Landing" when it was released that year. The rhythm was tighter, the quality of the last frame was optimized, the visual effect was more shocking, the background music was adjusted, and the promotional copy was redone completely according to her requirements.
Lu Yao nodded: "Yes, that's it. I'll take it away now. You'll need to pay more attention to the main film."
Gao Si and Gao Meng didn't expect that the first version would be passed. Lu Yao's image in their minds suddenly became much higher.
Lu Yao took the trailer information and was about to leave.
Liu Tang raised his head, wanting to say something but stopping himself. In the end, he didn't have the courage to call her.
Lu Yao returned to the cinema and went straight to the second floor.
There was a host computer for the large screen in the lounge on the second floor. Lu Yao uploaded the trailer data to it, and after format conversion, it could be played on the special large screen.
That evening, fiery clouds occupied half of the sky, and the ground seemed to be covered with a layer of warm gauze.
Many ordinary people, merchants, peddlers, low-level officials, children and the elderly on the streets of Liangjing saw a short film that had never been seen before.
The first thing people caught was the sound: [Perhaps, you have ever wondered what is on the moon? ]
