On the movie screen, "Lost in Space" was playing.
Tickets for today's premiere are hard to come by.
Because the big star Nicole and a group of film's leading actors and directors were sitting in the first row.
At a premiere, the seats closer to the front are naturally more valuable.
However, Lu Ming sat in the VIP box on the second floor and lowered the gauze curtain so that he could watch the movie through it.
Because they were sitting on the left and the right, Pamela was sitting on the left and Hanzhu was sitting on the right.
After meeting Cheng Lingyu, he went home to pick up Hanzhu to watch a movie.
Apart from moving and once accompanying Lu Ming to the supermarket, it was Hanzhu's first time to travel far away, and everything was new to her.
She was dressed in bright red, even her embroidered shoes were red, she looked as festive as a bride. Perhaps she was too happy, she looked even more beautiful and charming. At this moment, she was watching the images in the movie nervously.
I have a movie theater at home, but none of the movies there are as good as this one.
Looking at Hanzhu's expression, Lu Ming nodded. This film will not be bad.
This series was originally intended to be a gradual process, but Nicole's joining has attracted a lot of attention, especially since Nicole has been working at Reynolds Pictures since her debut. Now she has switched to a half-dead film company, and her new work has quickly become a hot topic. In fact, many media are waiting to watch the excitement and see how this willful superstar falls.
Who would have known that the poster of Nicole, a sexy captain in a space suit, would immediately become popular throughout the empire.
The captain's space suit design was described by Lu Ming and then drawn and modified. It is extremely stunning in this era, and when Nicole wears it, it simply satisfies every man's dream.
Sexy, cool, and with a futuristic mysterious touch.
"Lost in Space" had good screening schedules on the first day in the two major film markets of Donghai and Beijing, as well as other first-tier cities.
Other small cities are also anxiously waiting for the screening. After all, there are not many copies, and there will be no unauthorized copies nowadays, so the film will be screened in turns from big cities to small cities.
It looks like this film will be a huge success.
This was something Lu Ming had not expected. He had originally been preparing for a counterattack, but it instantly became the most anticipated film by Empire fans.
It has to be said that in any era, celebrities who bring their own traffic are treasures.
Lu Ming smiled and asked Hanzhu, "How is it? This movie was conceived by me, including how to make special effects. I came up with a lot of ideas. Isn't it good?"
This is true. At the same time in the previous life, science fiction movies and TV series were just starting out, and there was a lot to learn from.
Even some dramas from the 1950s and 1960s still look good in the new century.
“Ah…” For the first time, Hanzhu seemed not to hear clearly what her master said, but was completely immersed in the content of the video.
On the other side, Pamela listened to Lu Ming's words. If someone else said these words, she would definitely think that this guy was bragging.
Yes, you are an extremely outstanding defense lawyer, you are also a hidden rich man with extraordinary means, and you are even one of the chief writers of a women's magazine.
But what, you know everything about making movies
But when these words came out of this man's mouth, the people around him felt that they must be true. This man never bothered to brag.
Only those who are closest to you will brag about yourself like you do now, but they won't talk nonsense.
In the film, the foreign girl played by Park Soo-na suddenly spoke faster than Captain Nicole. Whatever Captain Nicole wanted to say, as soon as her lips moved, the foreign girl could say it in a beat faster.
Extremely tense music started playing.
Hanzhu screamed and crawled into Lu Ming's arms.
Lu Ming was stunned. Could this be the effect of watching science fiction movies
He hurriedly hugged Hanzhu gently and whispered comforting her in her ear. The fragrance and softness were so sweet that he could not help but gently kiss her attractive white earlobe.
Hanzhu's pretty face was blushing. She lay gently in her owner's arms, her eyes looking at the screen curiously.
Lu Ming gently held the beautiful girl in his right arm. The light in the box was dim, which made the scene even more charming.
Lu Ming's heart was also floating. He looked at the left side, where Pamela changed eight sets of clothes a day. Now, she was wearing a black evening dress, revealing her noble and elegant shoulders and snow-white back, and her jade feet painted light blue and wearing crystal high heels that showed off her beautiful curves.
If we say that, in the right arm, the little beauty Hanzhu is like a beautiful girl from the feudal era, and holding her gently, one has the satisfaction of a prince holding his delicate concubine. Then, on the left arm, the Western beauty with blonde hair, blue eyes and skin as white as snow makes one seem like walking into the future and meeting a sexy modern girl face to face.
Lu Ming's mind was dazed for a moment, but his left hand unconsciously reached out and gently held Pamela's jade-like hand with long beautiful nails.
Pamela struggled at first, but then let Lu Ming hold her. Lu Ming applied a little force, but unexpectedly, she leaned over gently and leaned lightly on his left shoulder.
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, and then he was immediately delighted.
He gently held their slender waists and grasped their hands with his left and right hands respectively. One was as smooth and boneless as cream, with nail polish painted on, looking delicate and tempting; the other was like a young bamboo shoot, soft to the touch, with long beautiful nails that were extremely charming.
This is a different feeling, simply.
Lu Ming just felt an incomparable sense of satisfaction and sighed in his heart.
Alas, life, what more can one ask for!
Suddenly, there were footsteps outside, "Boss, brother?"
The voice was as tender as a little girl's, and the veil was gently lifted. The glamorous actress with a sexy figure in a silver evening dress standing outside was Nicole.
Pamela and Hanzhu had already sat up straight in panic.
Lu Ming had no choice but to let go of the two people's hands.
Naturally, there were armed personnel outside who did not allow anyone to approach the box, but Nicole was a special case, especially since she introduced herself as Mr. Lu's sister. Everyone knew her and no one dared to intervene.
Nicole looked at the scene in the box in surprise, her big eyes blinking as she looked at the two female companions beside "Brother Lu".
Lu Ming looked at her and coughed: "Is there something?" He still felt a little sorry for Nicole. He had originally promised not to let her go for the sexy route again, but after discussing with the directors, they still felt that sexy Captain Nicole would be more attractive at the box office.
"Brother, what you told me is true!" There was a smile in Nicole's deep blue eyes.
"What?" Lu Ming was puzzled.
"You said that you have a beautiful sister-in-law at home..."
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, then he realized that he seemed to have scolded her in order to take the initiative, saying that he had several concubines who were much more beautiful than her, but because he used a secret recipe, they didn't dare to touch her.
"Brother, I'm fine. I heard from Director Wei that you were here, so I wanted to come and say hello to you. Well, I'm leaving now!"
Lu Ming nodded: "I'll talk to you some other time."
Nicole lifted the large skirt of her evening gown with both hands. Suddenly, she leaned forward and kissed Lu Ming on the face. Then, she turned around and walked out quickly, jogging all the way until she disappeared.
Lu Ming was stunned. What was this guy doing
Then, he looked at Hanzhu, then at Pamela, and said helplessly: "This guy did it on purpose, for revenge, I always scolded her before!"
Hanzhu opened her beautiful eyes wide, not knowing what her master was explaining, and said, "The master scolded her, so she must have done something wrong, but I think she's pretty good. The master scolded her, and she came out of the screen to apologize to the master?"
Pamela also smiled softly: "Yeah, where's the big star."
Next, Lu Ming tried to hold Pamela's hand again, but she refused to let him.
For a moment, Lu Ming was so angry at Nicole that he sneezed several times.
Sitting in the middle of the first row, Nicole kept smiling secretly, saying that you are always right, but now go home and have an argument.
…
The headquarters of the "Freedom Power" club is located in a newly built four-story building on the land owned by the Huaxia Group in Wolong Bay.
This milky white building does not look tall, but it covers a large area. It has more than 200 rooms in total, including banquet halls, conference rooms, offices, guest rooms, etc.
In Lu Ming's eyes, the style of this building is a bit similar to the White House.
The club members call this place the Freedom Building.
This building is divided into four areas. The Freedom Force Club is in the north area, which is the last half. Here, there is no military color. It seems like a very peaceful members' club where people exchange ideas and eat and drink.
The East District is the office area for Huaxia Technology’s newly expanded subsidiaries.
In the West District, Wang-Lu Law Firm moved here. The offices in the Jiniao Building were not enough and it was difficult to expand. After all, the original tenant could not be driven away, so they simply moved here.
In fact, Liu Hanming has proposed to merge his firm with Wang-Lu Law Firm.
A general intention has been basically reached, and the new law firm will be Lu Qianxing-Liu Hanming-Wang Da'an Law Firm.
Lu Ming, Liu Hanming and Wang Da'an are named partners, or three bosses, but their equity holdings are not the same.
Lu Ming holds 45%, Liu Hanming holds 35%, Wang Da'an holds 10%, and the remaining 10% is reserved for allocation to senior partner lawyers.
Once the deal is finally concluded, the west area of Liberty Building will become the new home of Lu, Liu, and Wang Law Firm, which will be large enough and have ample room for expansion.
The South District is the office of Lu Ming’s independent prosecutor’s office.
Of course, this independent official office does not occupy many rooms, it is just the second-floor office area in the south area.
At this time, in the reception room on the third floor of the South District, Lu Ming was meeting with several guests.
Lu Ming was dressed elegantly in a black and white tuxedo, looking refined and gentle. However, in the eyes of outsiders, when they thought about what the young man in front of them had done in less than a year, they would naturally feel that it was difficult to fathom the sophistication of this gentle young man. And if someone was hostile to him, they would probably feel extremely wary of him.
Pamela sat beside him, receiving the guests opposite with him. She was wearing a snow-white aristocratic gauze dress with a cleavage, which made her look extremely sexy and charming. Under the hem of her skirt, a pair of alluring snow-white feet in blue crystal high heels embellished with flowers were faintly visible.
Compared with Lu Ming and Pamela, who were aristocratic and dressed in gorgeous clothes, the people on the opposite side looked like country bumpkins.
It was Wang Zili and several fishermen.
"I know. A while ago, you guys spread the rumor that I was colluding with Western nobles to seize your sea areas."
Lu Ming looked at Wang Zili and smiled.
"If I meet someone who says this, I'll slap him in the face!" a young fisherman said indignantly.
In fact, two of the fishermen who came with Wang Zili were already members of the Freedom Power Club.
During their free time at sea, they come to the club to participate in activities, receive military training, and discuss their ideals and the future.
I feel like I have entered a new world and I am no longer a walking corpse.
They had great respect for Mr. Lu, the chairman of the club, but it was not the two Freedom Force members who spoke. They did not dare to speak in front of Mr. Lu.
The Freedom Power Club has a paid membership system, and membership costs 5 yuan per month.
However, if someone has financial difficulties and submits an application, and after review by the club's presidium, if it is considered that the member does share similar ideas with the club, the membership fee will be waived and a subsidy of 5 yuan per month will be provided.
Both of them are members who have been exempted from membership fees.
At this time, everyone was thinking that there were indeed rumors about Mr. Lu circulating in the fishing village a while ago, but now, they have died down.
Wang Zili shook his head and said, "Many country folk are just so ignorant. Mr. Lu has helped us so much, so some people may think that Mr. Lu has other intentions. However, rumors stop at wise men, and such rumors have long been quelled."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Yes, the Pearl Island was awarded to me by the court. This might be the result of my collusion with the Western nobles."
It is also very ironic. When the Pearl Island really became his, according to the rumors, it should have confirmed that he coveted the fishermen's seafood. However, the rumors automatically died down.
Why? Because now, these thousands of fishermen really have to rely on themselves for their livelihood.
Wang Zili had an embarrassed look on his face.
Seeing Lawyer Lu meeting with an extremely beautiful Western aristocratic lady, he felt something was wrong.
After all, the rumor was that he was colluding with Western nobles and coveting the fishermen's fish.
Sure enough, he was angry and wanted to blame me.
"I'm not going to participate in the election for District 49!"
Wang Zili smiled bitterly, "Mr. Lu, don't be angry. I apologize to you. The rumor was spread by my uncle. He thought that if I competed with you, I would definitely fail. That's why he acted very unwisely. Please forgive me."
Lu Ming was slightly startled, and several fishermen beside Wang Zili also looked at him in surprise.
Lu Ming didn't expect that Wang Zili would frankly admit that it was his family's secret act.
Wang Zili's uncle, Wang Shengtang, served as the councilor of District 49 for five consecutive terms. Now that he was old enough, he pushed his nephew to be his successor.
In fact, since the day the 49th constituency was established, the councillor of the 49th district has never left his family.
Wang Zili looked very sincere, "Mr. Lu, please be magnanimous and don't let my uncle's selfishness cut off the livelihoods of thousands of fishermen in the nine villages of Wangdian! I am willing to leave here with my uncle."
The fishermen nearby originally had expressions of blame on their faces, but now they all looked sympathetic.
Lu Ming looked at him. No matter whether Wang Zili was insincere or sincere, he had to say that he was a powerful man and very suitable for politics. He looked like a simple fisherman, but he had his own personal charm. No wonder Wang Shengtang introduced him as the representative of the family.
Lu Ming waved his hand: "I really won't run for election, and I will fully support you in running for District 49."
Wang Zili was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Lu, please don't mock me. I am originally from the countryside, and being a councillor is very reluctant. I don't want to do it either. I just hope that you can treat the villagers of District 49 well in the future."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "I am serious. I will support your election, but the premise is that you quit the Justice Party and join the Grand Ecumenical Party. I will be your introducer." He looked at his watch and said, "I will give you five minutes to think about it."
Wang Zili was stunned for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Mr. Lu, I promise you!"
Several fishermen looked at Wang Zilii in surprise, like they were on a roller coaster. Some of them even had contempt in their eyes.
Lu Ming smiled in his heart. He was a man of character and thick-skinned enough. He made decisions decisively and did not care what the villagers next to him, who had a very good impression of him, thought of him now. After all, there are gains and losses.
If he is given some space, he can probably become an outstanding politician.
Lu Ming stood up with a smile and held out his hand: "Okay, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future!"
Wang Zili stood up and resumed his simple and honest demeanor. He stretched out his hands and humbly shook hands with Lu Ming: "Mr. Lu, I don't know anything. From now on, I will listen to you no matter how you tell me to vote!"
Lu Ming nodded: "I have to meet a few other guests, you guys just hang out here and have some fun!"
A pretty girl in a red business suit came in and gestured to Wang Zilii and others to come in.
Lu Ming looked at Pamela and said with a smile, "Next game!"
Looking at Lu Ming's slightly bent arms, Pamela had no choice but to reach out her slender hand and gently hold his arm.
…
Across the corridor was another reception room, larger and more luxurious.
The guests inside were Du Jiahe, the Minister of the Northern Branch of the Grand Kung Pao Party, Wei Baozeng, the Party Whip, and several heavyweight members of the party. Among them was Dong Wenquan, the chairman of Dong's Gold Industry, who I had met last time.
The heavyweights of our party were invited by Lu Ming to meet Lu Ming together, instead of inviting Lu Ming to meet them as before. This also shows that there have been subtle changes in the status of everyone.
Seeing an extremely delicate and beautiful Western girl coming in with Lu Ming's arm, some congressmen couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"I will not run for council seat in District 49!" Lu Ming's first sentence stunned these people.
At this time, Lu Ming waved his hand, and a beautiful female secretary brought the constituency map and spread it out next to Lu Ming.
Lu Ming pointed to an area painted green and said, "I will run for councillor in this district! The third district, right?"
Everyone was stunned. That was the most important constituency of the Justice Party. The current councillor was Yang Guiren, who ran a film company. It was said that he knew many Western upper-class figures in the city.
The Third District is also one of the most prosperous areas in Beiguan. Liu Laocai’s New Era Shopping Mall is located in the Third District.
Wei Baozeng smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Qianxing, it seems that your true colors are revealed."
Wei Baozeng knew Lu Ming and knew he would never do anything without certainty.
The Du family and a few others all frowned, feeling even more puzzled. They just thought that Lu Qianxing was simply crazy.
Originally, Mr. Qing recommended him to run for the 49th constituency just to try his luck and make some random moves.
Unexpectedly, it seems that Mr. Qing has foresight. Inexplicably, after various lawsuits, Lu Qianxing became the savior of the fishermen in the 49th constituency. It seems that he has a great chance of running for the 49th constituency.
This is a great event for our party. From now on, our party finally has one more loyal constituency.
But this guy, why would he run for election in the third district instead of being a current councillor
Du Jiahe frowned and was about to speak.
Lu Ming then said: "In District 49, I will fully support Wang Zili's campaign. He will quit the Justice Party and join our Grand Public Party."
Huh? Several members of parliament looked at each other in bewilderment.
Du Jiahe was also a little surprised.
Lu Ming added: "However, I am running for the third district councillor on behalf of our party, but I have one condition. If I am successful in the election, I hope that our party, the Alliance Party and the Alliance independent councillors will fully support me and join the seven-member committee!"
Du Jiahe's eyes immediately fixed.
The seven-member committee is the Beiguan Municipal Committee, which is composed of seven members. It is the power body representing the parliament and governing Beiguan.
Mr. Qing was originally a member of the committee, but due to health reasons, he will step down this term.
Several heavyweight members of our party who hope to fill this seat have already started fighting openly and secretly.
But to be honest, these people are inferior in all aspects. Even if they win within the party, it will be difficult for them to enter the seven-member committee.
After all, of the seven-member committee, except for the chief commissioner who was nominated by the Duke's family, the other six were elected by all the members.
There is no one in the party with the same prestige as Qing Lao at present, and it is very likely that it will lose its own spokesperson in this seven-member committee.
But no matter what, Du Jiahe looked at Lu Ming and frowned secretly. He was too young and his experience was too inexperienced.
Lu Ming smiled at this time: "Minister Du, you have plenty of time to think about it. In fact, Mr. Qing is very open-minded. He said to me, 'Young people, if you can't fly like the wind, you should be as still as a mountain. Qianxing, you are a gust of wind.'"
Du Jiahe was in deep thought. Lately, he no longer consulted Qing Lao about many things. Could it be that Qing Lao really agreed with this young man's ridiculous proposal
Lu Ming smiled and said, "I hope I can hear a good result! Councillor Wang Zili and I will make our final decision."
Wei Baozeng shook his head in amusement. His brother was really extraordinary. He hadn't even run for election yet, but he already had a loyal supporter as a congressman.
