The next day, in the evening.

Cao Jun and his party of three came out of the Beijing Railway Station carrying large and small bags of luggage.

The cold wind coming out made Cao Jun realize that the temperature in the capital was several degrees lower than that in Hengdian.

Standing at the entrance of the train station, Zhou Yiwei suddenly put down his luggage and shouted loudly: "Beijing, I, Zhou Xiaoshuai, am back again!"

Returning to the capital again, Cao Jun felt a little excited. He knew very well that this time he came to the capital, he would not return as disappointed as in his previous life.

When he came to the capital this time, Cao Jun thought of a person, a woman, his ex-girlfriend Yang Xue, the actress who later played the role of Jiang Yuyan in "Little Fish and Flowers".

Yang Xue, like him, is a student in the 99-level vocational class of Beijing Film Academy. Because Yang Xue is older than him, they had a sister-brother relationship when they were in school.

At that time, it was the first time for both of them...

However, this campus romance only lasted for less than two years at school, and finally ended without any problems when Yang Xue proposed to break up.

After being in a daze for a moment, Cao Jun retracted his thoughts. He felt that he was a bit pretentious and it was just an old dream. There was no need to remember and be sentimental.

After venting his emotions, Zhou Yiwei asked Cao Jun: "Cao Jun, where are we going now?"

It is worth mentioning that Cao Jun is now the richest among the three. Zhang Songwen and Yiwei Zhou both fawn over him, hang out with him, and feed off of him.

Cao Jun didn't mind letting the two of them take advantage. Anyway, he was quite lonely in the large city of Beijing. It was always more interesting to have a companion than to fight alone, and it wouldn't be too boring.

Seeing that Zhou Yiwei was so hungry that he was still asking questions, Cao Jun didn't waste any words and said simply: "Where else can we go? First, find a hot pot restaurant, where it's delicious and spicy!"

Zhou Yiwei glanced at Zhang Songwen, swallowed again, and asked expectantly: "Old ghost, how about hot pot?"

Zhang Songwen felt that eating hot pot was too luxurious, and said with a troubled expression: "Xiaojun, you can just have a quick meal, hot pot is too expensive."

Cao Jun smiled and replied: "It's okay. I'll treat you. Just be responsible for eating."

Zhang Songwen was a little embarrassed and said: "Xiaojun, I know you have money and are willing to invite us, but... we ourselves feel guilty."

Zhou Yiwei also sighed: "Yes, I have been spending a lot of money on you during this short period of time in Hengdian, and we feel sorry for you."

Cao Jun said angrily: "Why are you talking so much nonsense? When you have money in the future, can't you just invite me back?"

Hearing Cao Jun's words, Zhou Yiwei felt suddenly enlightened and nodded with a smile: "Okay, when I become famous, I will invite you to the restaurant every day!"

Now that he had talked about this, Zhang Songwen was embarrassed to talk any more and agreed to eat hot pot.

In Beijing these days, there are not many cars on the road, and they basically don't know how to race. The distance between the two sides of the road seems to be very wide.

After waiting for a while, the three of them hailed a taxi and went to a hot pot restaurant.

After having a meal at a hot pot restaurant, Cao Jun was in a very happy mood after eating and drinking.

However, after traveling for more than a day, I did feel sleepy.

Afterwards, Cao Jun found a nearby hotel with high-end decoration and planned to stay overnight.

Zhang Songwen and Zhou Yiwei stood at the door of the hotel. When they saw that a single room cost 138 yuan a night, they didn't dare to go in.

Seeing that they didn't come in, Cao Jun asked doubtfully: "What are you two doing? Come in!"

Zhang Songwen said with a serious face: "Xiaojun, we can't go on like this. We eat your food and live your life. We feel very uneasy."

Cao Jun also felt that there was nothing wrong with them. He was not their father and could not always treat them to food, drink and fun. He had no such obligation.

Moreover, in Cao Jun's view, this relationship is very unhealthy and it is difficult to maintain sustainable development. As the old saying goes, fighting rice breeds kindness and shouldering rice breeds hatred. This sentence is a wise saying.

After thinking for a moment, Cao Jun said: "How about this? If you are embarrassed to let me treat you, I will lend you some money."

"Is 1,000 yuan per person enough? However, let me declare in advance that since it is a loan, you have to pay it back. It is only natural to pay back debts."

"Of course, if you don't pay it back, I don't care. Just think that I, Cao Jun, misjudged you. How about it? You guys discuss it, and when you're done, come in with me and get the money."

After a while, Zhang Songwen and Zhou Yiwei agreed to borrow 1,000 yuan from Cao Jun respectively, and promised Cao Jun that they would pay it back within three months.

After borrowing money from Cao Jun, Zhang Songwen and Zhou Yiwei said goodbye to Cao Jun.

They finally borrowed 1,000 yuan, but they really couldn't bear to stay in such a good hotel. Instead, they went to a cheap guest house to stay for one night and then look for a house tomorrow.

Cao Jun didn't try to persuade them to stay. They were alone in the big bed room of the hotel, watching TV and blowing on the heater.

Late at night.

Cao Jun turned off the bedside light in the room, leaving only the dim bathroom light.

Although Cao Jun did not believe that there were ghosts in the world, he was alone in a foreign land and living in a strange hotel without any sense of security.

I left a light in the bathroom so that my eyes wouldn't be in total darkness.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Jun lay on the bed and began to fall into deep thought.

Now Cao Jun still has more than 20,000 yuan in savings, and can still maintain a well-off life for a long time.

In other words, within these two or three months, Cao Jun had no financial pressure and could do whatever he wanted.

What Cao Jun wants to do most is naturally to work on movies, whether it is to be a movie actor or a movie director. The problem now is that he wants to shoot, but no one wants to shoot him.

Moreover, in the film industry these days, except for Zhang Yimou, Cheng Kaige and Feng Xiaogang, most of the films made by mainland directors are not profitable.

As for the actors, there are no big-name actors who can handle the box office, not even Ge You. Without Feng Xiaogang's New Year's film, he himself cannot handle the box office.

Obviously, in Cao Jun's opinion, now is not a good time to enter the film industry.

After some thinking, Cao Jun decided to first find a record company to cooperate with, and then build a reputation in the music industry, and then start to make money by going crazy and accumulate the first pot of gold.

As for why you don't release your own songs and have to cooperate with a record company, the reason is actually very simple, because recording songs requires money, and promoting them also requires money.

Songs need to be promoted on a platform. Songs such as Deng Ziqi's "Bubble" and Xiao Huangqi's "You Are My Eyes" all became popular through the platform of the talent show.

In a word, the aroma of wine is also afraid of the deep alley!

With Cao Jun's little savings and no resources or connections, he couldn't make any splash at all.

Cao Jun felt that before he became famous, he would definitely not be able to work alone. He must rely on the power of a record company to build his reputation first.

After some understanding, two days later, Cao Jun took the lead in setting his sights on Taihe Maitian Music Company.

Because in his previous life, Cao Jun had heard of the company Taihe Maitian Music, and it seemed that many mainland singers had cooperated with this company.

From a musical perspective, Wheatfield also has the talent to play.
