Although the Su family has produced many outstanding students over the years, Su Yuehua is the only one who has taken root in Yanjing. Su Yuehua is the youngest among her generation, so she has been the most favored since she was a child. Not only Su Yingxue's grandparents doted on her, but Su Yingxue's The uncle, father, third uncle, eldest aunt and second aunt all dotes on Su Yuehua, so every year when she comes home from Yanjing to visit relatives, it is the busiest time for the Su family.
It’s strange that Haizhou is really too small. There are only two restaurants that are really good. One is the old Haizhou Hotel and the other is the newly built Ecological Park. However, Su Weimin’s current status is somewhat special. As a Haizhou As the top leader of the municipal bureau, he is usually very self-disciplined. The eco-park's shareholders have complicated backgrounds and the place is a bit luxurious, so this family dinner can only be held at Haizhou Hotel.
A large family was sitting in the largest box of Haizhou Hotel, and the atmosphere was very lively. This New Year is particularly festive for the Su family. The main reason is the great joy of Su Weimin being promoted to the top of the municipal bureau. Although it has been some time, Su The family is still immersed in it. Su Weimin is the only one in the Su family who pursues an official career, but half a year ago, his political prospects were not optimistic. Li Jiawei was in the municipal bureau and he did not have a good relationship with the provincial department. Su Weimin The most likely possibility is that he was suppressed under Li Jiawei until Li Jiawei retired. He would be at least in his early fifties when Li Jiawei retired. Even if he was the number one candidate to be the top leader of the city bureau at that time, no one could tell whether his superiors would. A director will be parachuted down, so the possibility of him breaking out from the Haizhou City Bureau is almost zero.
However, many things take twists and turns, just like in a short track speed skating competition. When the seeded runners are fighting in the front, it stands to reason that the runners behind them have basically no chance of winning medals. The accompanying runner can also be the first to cross the line with a confused look on his face and win the championship.
Su Weimin was almost the one who missed it. Until now, he still hasn't figured out who was responsible for Li Jiawei and gave him such a huge gift, allowing him to become the number one in his forties, and also to cooperate with him. Once he got connected with the provincial department, his career, which he could see at a glance, suddenly had a broader space for development and imagination.
Su Yuehua was particularly happy for her second brother Su Weimin. The two had the best relationship among the siblings since they were young. It was the first time she came back to see him after his second brother was promoted to the top, so Su Yuehua toasted Su Weimin several glasses of wine at the dinner table. I wish him to rise higher and further and go further.
Su Weimin was also very happy and couldn't help but drink a few more glasses of wine. Then he talked to Su Yuehua about his daughter, and asked Su Yuehua's husband with a smile: "Shaohua, this kid Yingxue didn't cause you any trouble in Yanjing, right?"
Wang Shaohua hurriedly said: "Second brother, what are you talking about? I have never seen a child who is more sensible than Yingxue. We, as a couple, really want to let Yingxue go to day school, and she might as well live in our house every day."
Su Weimin said hurriedly: "The child is getting older, so we should let her exercise more by herself."
Su Yuehua nodded. In fact, she had the intention to let Su Yingxue go to day school next semester, but she just thought about it and had no real intention to do it because she was also worried that excessive control over Su Yingxue would arouse her resistance.
Su Yingxue was a little absent-minded at this time. It was almost 7:40, and the meal had only been eaten for more than half an hour. At this rate, it was estimated that today's meal would not be finished until 9 o'clock, and Li Mu sent it a few minutes ago. The text message said that she had already arrived at the door of the hotel and she was trying to find a suitable time to slip away.
Cousin Wang Xinran said impatiently: "Mom and Dad, ask the waiter to turn on the TV and wait to watch the premiere of "Oldboy"!"
Su Yuehua frowned and asked her, "What old boy?"
Wang Xinran blurted out: "Oh, it's my sister..."
Wang Xinran instinctively said it was a short film directed by her brother-in-law, but she instantly realized that she was about to get into trouble and hurriedly said: "It's the short film starring the Simple Plan band that my sister particularly likes."
When Su Yuehua heard the words "Simple Plan", she nodded slightly and said, "Oh, I know, it's the band that walked out of Jinling. Didn't they also attend the Spring Festival Gala?"
"Yes." Wang Xinran said: "On the Spring Festival Gala, they sang "Fly Higher", and they also had a song "Old Boy". The short film premiering at 8 o'clock tonight is adapted from this song."
Su Weimin smiled and said: "Then let the waiter turn on the TV and let's watch it together. This band is quite interesting. I like the song "Fly Higher" very much."
Su Yingxue stood up at this time and said to her mother beside her: "Mom, I'm going to the bathroom."
Fang Min didn't think much and nodded slightly. Su Yingxue stood up and went out. Wang Xinran rolled her eyes and said, "I want to go to the bathroom too." After that, she ran out after Su Yingxue.
As soon as Su Yingxue went out, Wang Xinran ran out and shouted from behind: "Sister, wait for me."
Su Yingxue suddenly felt dizzy. She turned around to look at Wang Xinran and asked in surprise: "Why are you out too?"
"Go to the bathroom." Wang Xinran ran to Su Yingxue in a few steps, took her arm, and said with a smile: "Hey, my brother-in-law's movie premiered, and he didn't invite you to watch it together?"
Su Yingxue was stunned for a moment, then she thought she was going to sneak out anyway, and she couldn't hide it from Wang Xinran, so she whispered to her: "He is waiting for me at the door. I'm going to find him now. You can help me cover."
Wang Xinran said in surprise: "Brother-in-law is here? Which two-person world are you two going to?"
Su Yingxue glared at her: "You are the most talkative! Tell me quickly if you are willing to cover for me."
Wang Xinran laughed and said: "I am willing, but how can I fight?"
Su Yingxue thought for a while and said, "Just say that you met your high school classmates in the bathroom. Several high school classmates also gathered here for dinner, and then they pulled me over to reminisce about old times."
Wang Xinran calculated the time and said: "It's already seven forty-five now. It will premiere at eight o'clock and it will last for forty minutes. Come back after watching it. It will probably be nine o'clock. I'm afraid we will have to leave by then." ah."
"It doesn't matter." Su Yingxue said, "I will tell them to sing when the time comes. You just need to tell them what I said. I will send a text message to my mother."
Wang Xinran hesitated for a moment, but when he thought about his sister's happiness, he nodded very generously and said, "I have no problem helping you, but you have to promise me one thing."
Su Yingxue said: "Didn't I promise you a long time ago to go back to Yanjing to take the art exam with you?"
"That doesn't count." Wang Xinran said, "You ask your brother-in-law to treat me to a meal."
Su Yingxue nodded: "I'll ask him when he has time."
Wang Xinran said: "It must be before I return to Yanjing. Please don't count if I return to Yanjing."
"good!"
…
Su Yingxue came out of the hotel directly. As soon as she went out, she saw Li Mu's GL8 parked on the side of the road without turning off the engine. She quickly ran over and got into the car and sat down. She breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Mu quickly put the car into gear and drove away. At the same time, he asked Su Yingxue: "How did you escape?"
Su Yingxue said: "I said I was going to the bathroom, and Xin Ran followed me out. I asked her to help lie to my family."
After Li Mu heard her talk about what happened, he smiled and said, "I told my mother that it was also a dinner party for classmates..."
Su Yingxue said with a smile: "Xin Ran asked you to invite her to dinner, and she also specified that she should be invited before leaving. We can't wait until we return to Yanjing."
Li Mu nodded and said, "Okay, I can't offend my sister-in-law by offending anyone. Let me look at the timetable."
Su Yingxue said: "Okay, just make up your mind. If you don't have time, you can treat her to dinner after returning to Yanjing. By the way, where should we go?"
Li Mu smiled and said, "Just follow me."
Li Mu drove the car to Wanying New City and parked it directly in his parking space. Su Yingxue saw Li Mu taking her to a community. She had something to ask, but she held it back and followed Li Mu all the way to his new home. house door.
As soon as she entered the door, Su Yingxue asked Li Mu in surprise: "Isn't this your home?"
Li Mu smiled slightly and said, "My parents bought it as a model house. I just left it unoccupied."
Su Yingxue nodded lightly and didn't think much about it. She knew that Li Mu's parents opened a store in Haizhou. The business of the two stores was so good that it was very easy to buy a few houses.
Su Yingxue asked Li Mu: "Will uncle and aunt come over?"
"No." Li Mu said casually: "This house was bought to me. They only paid for it and didn't worry about anything else. They didn't even keep the key."
Su Yingxue felt relieved after hearing this. This place is not like the house Li Mu rented in Yanjing. Both of them are out of town, so there is no psychological burden in being alone in a room. But in Haizhou, it is also with Li Mu's parents. In the house she bought, she was also worried that Li Mu's parents would suddenly come back and find them alone in a room.
Li Mu originally wanted to make out with Su Yingxue, but the time was three minutes to eight o'clock, so the two hurriedly sat hand in hand on the sofa in the living room. Li Mu turned on the TV, and the program was locked on Nansu TV Station.
At this moment, the four people from Simple Plan and their families gathered in Ye Tianming's villa. Everyone deliberately had dinner in advance and sat in the living room at 7:40, staring at the huge rear-projection TV. Waiting for the premiere of "Oldboy".
Zhang Kexuan, Ye Tianming, Xia Tian and Gu Wei have now become the pride of their respective families. The four business families never thought that their children could go so far on the road of literature and art. The Spring Festival Gala a few days ago It has made them extremely proud, and today, the micro-movie starring them will be premiered on more than 20 TV stations across the country.
Although the parents of the four people also questioned the form of micro-movies and thought that movies that could not go to theaters were somewhat unpopular, they only really realized this micro-movie when they saw the list of broadcasting stations compiled by Zhang Kexuan. How big is the coverage area? At least tens of millions of people will watch this micro-movie at the same time tonight. If the replay is calculated, the population covered is estimated to be over 100 million.
The Spring Festival Gala is certainly awesome, but the exposure time of the Spring Festival Gala is only about five minutes, and this micro-movie lasts for more than 40 minutes, which is equivalent to an episode of TV series. It is exposed in front of hundreds of millions of people for more than 40 minutes. How much influence does this have? These parents who come from business backgrounds can calculate it very clearly.
Du Wei and Du Fei's family were also watching Xiangnan TV station at home in Yanjing. They had no choice but to give up the right to premiere "Oldboy" because of conflicts between the film and advertisers.
At eight o'clock in the evening, 21 TV stations started broadcasting "Oldboy" at the same time. The opening of the film was an ink painting style video about 15 seconds long. A brush sketched out a shepherd boy playing the flute on the back of a buffalo, and then the scenes of the buffalo and the shepherd boy continued. Zooming out, a vast grassland is outlined with ink around it. Finally, four vigorous and powerful calligraphy characters appear on the top of the screen - the image of Makino.
The much-anticipated "Oldboy" has finally begun.
