Chapter 52 The Ball

In the darkness, Ye Bei's five senses became more and more sensitive. Hearing, vision, smell, and touch could sense a different world. In the dark city, dogs barking, quarrel, singing, music, and the dance of leather shoes tapping on the floor tiles. Combined with the smell of perfume, good wine, and delicious food, this city truly showed the charm of an international city at night.

This is a place where lights are bright and endlessly lit up the sky, modern and traditional, advanced and backward.

There are witches who burn paper money here, beautiful dancers here, celebrities with famous cars and mansions, and beggars who are unclothed.

Ye Bei was traveling through the darkness, feeling the difference. The darker he was, the more free he was.

This is a successful action. Ye Bei is looking forward to participating in the secret association and the transactions between different Qigong masters. Although he has no bargaining chips at all at the moment, he is not in a hurry.

When they returned to Zhang San's courtyard, Zhang San's family was already asleep. There was no movement in Lu Ruqi and Qin Ying's house. Ye Bei quietly returned to his guest room and said nothing all night.

Every morning, there was a familiar atmosphere. Ye Bei felt that he was already familiar with the life in Tonghai City. After breakfast, he and his senior sister walked to the movie studio. It was too luxurious to take a rickshaw every day. They did not have such capital yet. Walking was considered as practicing.

The senior sister asked Ye Bei where he went last night: "You often go out at night now, it's very dangerous."

Seeing that his senior sister still cared about him, Ye Bei was both happy and helpless because there were still people in this world who cared about him, but every concern represented a shackle and was heavy.

"I will be careful. I am trying to join a secret association formed by Qigong masters and want to exchange some herbs." Ye Bei said: "Senior sister, I know what you want to say that you need to be diligent in practicing, but it is very common for Qigong masters to break through bottlenecks with herbs. Before, the master asked us to break through Xiao Zhoutian before leaving Zhaojia Village. Senior sister, you have been practicing for ten years and have not yet made any breakthroughs. It can be seen that Xiao Zhoutian is not easy to break through."

Qin Ying knew this very well, because she had been stuck in this bottleneck for more than a year. Before Ye Bei traveled through time, she was just about to kick, but she just couldn't get over it, and she couldn't let the internal force in her body run independently.

Small Zhoutian and large Zhoutian are all obstacles on the road to cultivation.

"But there will be danger." Qin Ying has a strong sense of crisis, especially her own relatives. In her short 18 years, she has lost too many relatives. Her master died and her playmate Zhao Liujin died, so she opposed Ye Bei's adventure, but there was Lu Rujia beside Ye Bei. This bad woman always encouraged Ye Bei to get close to the danger.

"I will be careful." Ye Bei certainly couldn't stop, so he could only say that.

But Qin Ying couldn't help but be worried.

When she arrived on the set, Qin Ying was already familiar with the filming of the movie. After the initial running-in period, she was also free to switch in front of the camera, and soon mastered the performance skills, which made Ye Bei sigh that women are born actors.

Ye Bei's work on the set is not important. As a consultant, he just makes suggestions and occasionally helps with the background board. The shooting of silent films is simple, often with a camera facing one direction, and there is no turning of the camera at all. Therefore, the content that the audience sees when watching the movie is the same as the actors' performances on the stage, and is in the same direction.

But Ye Bei proposed that a shot can be reflected from different angles, which not only extends the time of the movie, but also gives the audience a brand new experience.

Of course, more film and more time are needed for shooting, but Wu Bing happily accepted Ye Beide's suggestion. He only slept for six hours a day and spent the rest of his time thinking about how to shoot. Such enthusiasm will make the new movie a masterpiece beyond the times.

Ye Bei also suggested that bands can perform live in some high-standard cinemas.

"You can still play music?"

Ye Bei smiled: "I have always been a very low-key person. I never easily tell others that I can play the piano or guitar." Ye Bei is indeed versatile. His colleagues used to be very surprised that Ye Bei reads books and learns music. Where did he have so much time?

Of course, Ye Bei only has twenty-four hours like an ordinary person, but he only spends the time others play games and gossip chatting on learning.

"You are such an interesting person. When you chat with you, you always feel like chatting with friends outside our country." Wu Bing said: "It is rare to see people as quick as you in China."

“It’s over-reward.”

"Your proposal is very good. In fact, there are bands in large theaters abroad, which are specialized in playing movies. In recent years, foreign bands in China have developed rapidly and have met the conditions. I actually wanted to try it."

"What are you waiting for?" Ye Bei also took his current work seriously.

"There will be bands in the top dance halls, and I know musicians, so don't worry when I get in touch." Wu Bing admires Ye Bei's seriousness: "To be honest, I think my father is not as active as you when he is working."

In fact, this is Ye Bei's sense of superiority for time travelers. As a time traveler, you must not be a descendant and do everything better. So even if you are not doing your job properly, you must be excellent enough. The shadow of a famous tree in a person must be able to make the other world remember yourself once you travel through time, and the best way to remember yourself is to do everything well.

Ye Bei is so serious that he doesn't want to embarrass the many time travelers seniors.

"By the way, there will be a dance party tonight, so you and Miss Qin will come together," Wu Bing invited.

“What dance party?”

"It is a charity dance party, a dance party that raises funds for the orphanage organized by the famous wealthy businessmen in Tonghai. Young masters from all walks of life will be present, so come too." Wu Bing wanted to let more people know Ye Bei, let more people see Ye Bei's talent, and bring Ye Bei into his circle.

"Of course you can participate, but my senior sister and I don't have the clothes for the dance." Ye Bei did not have a suit and dress.

"It's not a big deal. We'll take a long break in the afternoon. Come to my house to pick up clothes." Wu Bing said enthusiastically: "That's all." He already regarded Ye Bei as a friend.

Qin Ying was not willing to participate in such an event, but her junior brother agreed immediately, and she had to protect her junior brother's face. As long as it was not Lu Ruqi, she would not sing the opposite tune. If there was any problem, she would never embarrass her junior brother. She was really a good woman who knew the general.

Wu Bing went to borrow a car again. He is now in a career and has invested all his money in movies. Naturally, his income is not his pocket money at home, but the stocks he bought abroad. Although he can't make a lot of money, it is still fine to maintain the operation of the cinema.

Wu Bing's family also lives in the old city, but their family is a newly built villa, which is completely Western style. The yard alone has to have several acres of land, which can be called a big family and a big business.

"Young Master." There are many servants, from the entrance of the courtyard to the entrance of the villa, there are concierges, gardeners, butlers, kitchen stands behind, and maids who serve tea and water, and they look like a big capitalist.

"Sister Zhang, prepare the sewing machine, and we will modify the clothes later." Household sewing machines are also luxury goods. Generally speaking, a household sewing machine can open a sewing shop, but Wu Bing's family has prepared one, which shows that it is really too much money to spend.
