On the 21st of the first lunar month, Li Mu and Zhao Kang drove through the city where his girlfriend Wang Jia was, picked up her and her brother Wang Ke, and returned to Yanjing together.
The National People's Congress holiday will be put on the 23rd of the first lunar month, and classes will officially start on the 24th of the first lunar month.
However, it doesn’t matter when classes start for Li Mu. He has already established himself as an indestructible person at the National People’s Congress with just 3321. No one can do anything about his frequent absences from classes, not to mention that no one is willing to find him. He's in trouble.
They set off early in the morning and trekked all the way. When they arrived in Yanjing, it was already the starting point in the evening. While Li Mu was still on the road, he received a call from Du Fei, asking if he was back. Li Mu told her that he was on his way back to Yanjing, and Du Fei was determined to live or die. Invite him to dinner.
Li Mu wanted to refuse, but Du Fei said that he would return to the United States tomorrow, so Li Mu immediately agreed.
Many special types of service industries in China are not yet developed enough. Now that he wants to invest in a company in the United States, Li Mu can't find a suitable agency at all. And Li Mu wants to buy Facebook's domain name and is waiting for it. He must not use a Chinese company as the main body. Because in that case, investing in Mark Zuckerberg will have a lot of troubles, and it will also be rejected by the U.S. capital market. It is not as convenient as registering directly in the United States.
And Li Mu didn't have any friends in the United States. He only had Du Fei, whom he had met once. After all, she owed him a favor and he could ask her for help with this kind of thing.
Li Mu said to Du Fei: "Call Lao Chen too."
Du Fei had no objection: "Then you contact him."
Li Mu contacted Chen Ze and told him the matter, and Chen Ze readily agreed.
He knew that Du Fei was leaving tomorrow, and wanted to invite Du Fei to have a meal today to have a good get-together, but Du Fei refused. He said that he was going to invite someone else to dinner today, but did not say it was Li Mu. He would wait for Li Mu to call. Only then did he realize that when Du Fei said he wanted to invite someone to dinner, he was actually inviting him.
Chen Ze was not surprised at all when Du Fei wanted to invite Li Mu to dinner. Du Fei thanked Li Mu before just because Li Mu gave Du Wei two good songs. Du Fei even felt that she agreed to let Du Wei participate in Li Mu's micro film. To a certain extent, it gave Li Mu face. At that time, she was not optimistic about micro-movies such as "Oldboy". She felt that this kind of TV series was not like a TV series and a movie was not like a movie. It would not be popular, but she did not expect it. Yes, this movie has been popular since the third day of the first lunar month until now.
More than half a month has passed, and the popularity of this film is still frighteningly high, which is simply incredible.
Du Wei has become very popular with her outstanding performance and the two songs given to her by Li Mu. These were things Du Fei had not expected before, so she also felt that she owed Li Mu a favor.
Li Mu sent Zhao Kang and the others to a hotel near Zhongguancun, and then drove to the hotel Du Fei had booked. The hotel Du Fei booked this time was in a club called Prince Gong's Mansion. Next to the palace is a large area of courtyard buildings and modern buildings.
It was the first time Li Mu had heard of this club and the first time he had come here. Du Fei even asked Chen Ze to wait at the door because he was worried that he would not be able to find his way.
When Li Mu saw Chen Ze, his car was parked in front of an impressive Qing Dynasty gate tower. Seeing Li Mu's car approaching, Chen Ze got out of the car and waved to him, then asked Li Mu to drive in behind him. Gatehouse.
Li Mu was a little curious. There were no nameplates or plaques hanging on the gate. There were only four upright middle-aged men standing at the door with serious faces. Chen Ze was politely stopped when he drove up, and then Chen Ze Ze showed a beautifully made card, and then pointed to Li Mu's GL8 behind and explained to the other party, and then the other party let Li Mu in with him.
After entering the gatehouse, there is a stone road of about 100 meters. When you drive to the end, you will find a sudden openness. The first thing you see is an extremely exquisite courtyard, with small parking lots on both sides. It is estimated that there are 100 parking lots in total. After finding a parking space, Chen Ze drove the car to the main entrance of the courtyard, and Li Mu followed closely and parked the car.
Two young men in Chinese tunic suits immediately walked out of the main entrance and helped them open the car door. When Li Mu saw Chen Ze get out of the car directly, he handed the car to the other party, and he also got out of the car. The young man next to him was a nine-year-old man. He bowed ten times and said "please, sir", then got into the car and drove to the parking lot to park.
Chen Ze greeted Li Mu to go inside. A beautiful girl dressed like a female college student from the Republic of China immediately walked up to him and asked Chen Ze politely: "Mr. Chen, you are here. What are your plans for tonight?"
Li Mu was still a little uncomfortable with the girl calling Chen Ze "Mr. Chen", but when he thought about her dress, he didn't feel weird anymore. Maybe this Prince Gong's Mansion Club has such a retro style.
Chen Ze had long been accustomed to this style and said to the girl, "Is Miss Du here?"
The girl nodded hurriedly and said: "The two Miss Dus are here, in Anxiang, please come with me."
Stepping into the depths of the courtyard, the luxury here has a unique flavor. The ground paved with bluestone is flat and dry, the screen wall is huge, and nine lifelike dragons of different shapes are engraved on it. The eaves on both sides are made from the stone wall to the roof and columns. They are all extremely exquisite. All the bricks, inner and outer eaves have been repainted, and the unique red lanterns in the courtyard and corridors really make people feel like they have traveled through time and space.
The courtyard is very large, with many entrances and exits. Li Mu didn't get a general idea the first time he came here, so he followed the two of them deeper into the courtyard. After passing through the two courtyards, he could see that there were differences at the door of the wing next to him. Some of the characters are called Shuidiao Getou, and some are called Xijiangyue, Manjianghong, and Qinyuanchun. It turns out that these rooms are named after the names of Cipai.
"Secret Fragrance" is no exception. It is a rather unpopular name of a lyric brand. It comes from Jiang Kui's self-composed song of praising plum blossoms. The name comes from Lin Bu's swan song "The sparse shadows are slanting across the water and the water is clear, and the secret fragrance floats in the moonlight dusk". For Li Mu, he had only heard of it once and could not remember a single word of the specific content. After the Jinfen Family became popular in 2003 and 2004, the word "Secret Fragrance" was in the memory of the Chinese people, and it was the same as the song of the same name by Sha Baoliang. closely connected.
The room is more luxurious than the outside. The first entrance is a Chinese-style entrance hall, which is separated by eight screens. Passing around the screen and a wooden bead curtain, there is a hall that combines Chinese and Western styles, with seats, coffee tables and decorative furnishings. It adopts Chinese style and is almost entirely made of pure wood. However, the overall layout is not as formal as a Chinese-style hall. Instead, it has the flavor of a modern living room. On the wooden high stool in the corner, there is an exquisite incense burner. A plate of sandalwood smells surprisingly good.
The two sisters Du Fei and Du Wei had already arrived. As soon as Chen Ze and Li Mu entered the door, they hurriedly stood up and asked them to take their seats. Beside the coffee table, a beautiful tea master in simple clothes was making Kung Fu tea. Du Fei said: "We sisters are not I like drinking tea so much, and I don’t know what kind of tea you two like to drink, so I ordered Dahongpao for you. If you don’t like it, you can change it.”
Li Mu smiled and said, "I don't know much about tea either, so it's all good."
Chen Ze smiled and said, "I just like drinking Dahongpao."
Du Wei shyly said to Li Mu and Chen Ze: "Brother Li Mu, brother Chen Ze."
Li Mu looked at her and smiled slightly, and asked her: "You have been so popular recently, are you still getting used to it?"
Du Wei stuck out her tongue: "I don't get used to it. Sometimes I regret it."
Li Mu asked her: "Do you regret participating in "Oldboy", or regret singing those two songs, or both?"
Du Wei hurriedly said: "Brother Li Mu, I'm just joking. Sometimes I feel unsure and under a lot of pressure. I feel that if I didn't make this movie, I should be able to live a more relaxed life. But when I think about it, If it weren't for this movie, those two songs would have been missed, so I don't regret it anymore... "
Li Mu nodded and smiled: "Zhang Ailing said that you should become famous as early as possible. If you come too late, happiness will not be so joyful. Some people say that her words are too utilitarian, but I think it is still very reasonable. The sooner you become famous, the sooner you can experience it. That kind of happiness, if you become famous before the age of 20, you can become famous in your thirties. By then you will still have enough youth to live the life you want. In contrast, if you become a late bloomer in your thirties, in order to maintain your popularity , there are too many things to pay, and for people who become famous at a young age, people are more tolerant even if they make mistakes. After all, there is a special word called young and frivolous."
Du Wei was a little confused when he heard this, while Du Fei on the side took a deep look at Li Mu and said to Du Wei: "Your brother Li Mu is teaching you the truth. It doesn't matter if you don't understand. As long as you remember, being famous now is not It’s a bad thing. Before the age of thirty, you can pursue your dreams in music. No matter how big a stage you want, I will definitely help you get it. After the age of thirty, if you find a man you like, think about it. My sister also supports you in your own life, at least you won’t have any regrets in music.”
Du Wei nodded slightly, smiled with two shallow dimples, and said to Du Fei coquettishly: "Thank you, sister."
Du Fei winked at her, and then asked Li Mu: "What do you think is the best way for Xiao Wei to go forward?"
Li Mu said without hesitation: "You must continue to go to school. You can sign with a talent agency, but you must not delay your studies. A common problem in the domestic entertainment industry is that the level of education is not high enough. Most celebrities are monks halfway through their careers. Idol stars' own image will have a strong bonus. In addition, they cannot randomly accept movies and TV dramas, let alone sing some random music works. Before graduating from college, it is best to regularly release some high-quality works in small quantities to maintain exposure. At the same time, I am also accumulating knowledge for myself, and I will be able to accumulate more knowledge after graduation.”
Duffy said: "If you sign with a talent agency, you may not have so much freedom. The agency will definitely be looking for scripts and roles everywhere, as well as people for singing appointments, and there will definitely be works of lower quality."
Li Mu smiled slightly and said: "It's very simple. Sign for Makino Video. I guarantee that Xiao Wei will have at least one big movie of more than 90 minutes that is released in theaters every year, and it will be the female lead. At the same time, I will give her at least three good songs. Song, she won’t be allowed to accept any commercial performances or commercial activities, and the TV station will only do programs on first-tier TV stations, and no more than four times a year, how about that?”
Du Fei's biggest purpose today was actually to entrust Du Wei to Li Mu. He never expected that Li Mu would take the initiative to give him an extremely satisfactory answer...
