Li Tang doubted whether Xu bald man was focusing on his pocket to borrow money. After buying a house in Beijing last time, he only had about 100,000 yuan left. Recently, the expenses have been a little higher. Fortunately, he has supplemented the pay for "Little Li Flying Knife".
Once I went to the bank, I transferred 100,000 yuan to Xu, and only 20,000 yuan was left in my account.
At first, Li Tang did not intend to take care of Xu Bald Head for interest. Although he lived in the United States in his previous life and had indifferent human relationships, as time went by, he gradually followed the customs of the countryside.
After all, Xu Bald Head is a senior brother and a colleague. He often drinks flower wine together when he has nothing to do. The friendship is here, so how can I be embarrassed to charge interest?
But Xu Bald Head was very persistent. In his words, as long as money is involved, it is a big deal. Brothers must settle the score clearly, and they must be refreshing, otherwise it will be difficult to be friends.
So not only did he indicate the interest amount and repayment date on the IOU, he also signed and pressed his handprint.
Xu bald head was busy building his love nest like a courtship bird, while Li Tang received a package from the capital one afternoon while practicing swordsmanship.
Opening the package is a script with four big words "Broad Day" written on it. In addition to the script, there is also a letter written by Senior Lu.
"Tsk!"
When Li Tang opened the letter and saw the good words on the paper, he felt pleasing to the eye.
His handwriting is not good, and a person who is not good at learning is usually not good at writing, so he is particularly envious of people who write well. Moreover, people who are good at drawing usually have no bad writing skills.
As the saying goes, calligraphers and painters are both calligraphers and painters.
Senior Lu’s pen handwriting is undoubtedly particularly beautiful. Please note that he does not use cheap and convenient pens, but a real pen, which itself is a kind of respect for the recipient.
Senior Lu reviewed the last reunion in the letter, and explained the topic of discussion that day. Finally, he solemnly invited Li Tang to play the leading role in his new film "Broad Day" and accompanied the script.
Senior Lu is a person who is very particular and a well-known rule-abiding person. When his classmates won awards abroad, he publicly stated: "I will never shoot banned films."
Because he felt that he had to abide by the rules of this society when he lived in today's society. He often said: "The reason why this world is so bad is that there are too many people who do not abide by the rules."
At the last party, he talked about the new film plan for "Broad Day" and invited his ex-girlfriend Ma Xiaoqin to be the leading female lead, but said that it was adapted from the real case and did not go into depth.
It was not until Li Tang saw the script that he suddenly realized that the issue of seeing others committing crimes and rescuing violence or not being rescued was the story in the script.
The topic that was discussed was most likely an interview, or the shortlisted for the Huabiao Award this time prompted Senior Lu to make up his mind to invite himself to play the leading role.
The script is quite thick, with about 100 pages, and it is a very complete script. To summarize the whole story, it is roughly: the car mechanic Lei Haiyang took the same truck with the girl who went to Beijing to look for a job on the way, and he didn't want to be halfway through.
He witnessed the scene where two drivers raped the girl, but because of his cowardice, he felt guilty since then. Later, he kept looking for the girl and helped the police capture the criminal.
It is obvious that this is a story about the growth and redemption of the soul, which has a very good taste of European and American movies. Li Tang saw "Desert", "Flowers of the Desert", "When Happiness Comes Knocks", "Green Book" and so on in his previous life
All of them belong to this type.
Since Director Lu is a person of particularity, Li Tang thinks he should be more serious, for example, he also wrote a letter in his reply, but when he saw the bad words he wrote, he really couldn't make any move. Think about it, let's just forget it.
When I go to Beijing for rehearsal next week, I will reply to Director Lu in person.
The reply was of course that he liked the story very much and was very willing to play the role of Lei Haiyang. He would definitely not mention the 80,000 yuan pay raised by Director Lu in the letter.
...
On April 18, Li Tang pushed his luggage out of the capital airport. Naian was already waiting outside. It was still the red Nissan blue bird. The hot woman drove the car from Shanghai to Beijing again. In her words
She said that she likes the feeling of freedom when driving.
Fortunately, after the 1997 financial crisis, the country increased its investment in infrastructure construction, and most sections of expressways between Beijing and Shanghai have been opened to traffic. After the expressway is fully connected, it may only take one day to drive from Shanghai to Beijing. Of course, in the future
The high-speed rail will be faster, but it will take more than ten years to wait.
"How is the sword practice?" Naian asked as soon as he met.
Li Tang said confidently: "There is basically no problem."
"I found someone to match a piece of classical silk and bamboo music. You can hurry up and practice it again in the past two days. During the rehearsal the day after tomorrow, let them have a good experience."
Naian has been working hard recently to make Li Tang show his skills at the Huabiao Awards ceremony because she found out that Zhang Yimou is said to be preparing a big-scale martial arts film. In addition, following the four classics, CCTV is preparing to remake Jin Yong's martial arts drama.
The current person in charge is her best friend's boyfriend. The reliable news is that CCTV has sent someone to Hong Kong to contact Mr. Jin Yong for copyright matters. If everything goes well, filming may start within the year.
If the news about Zhang Yimou is not very accurate, then CCTV is real. The four masterpieces are ahead, and Jin Yong’s martial arts dramas will definitely be very popular. This opportunity is once a lifetime.
Moreover, both of these big shots will attend the Huabiao Awards ceremony. Zhang Yimou was shortlisted for the Excellent Feature Film Award and Best Director Award at this year's Huabiao Awards because of his film "No One Leaves".
The boyfriend will be present as an award presenter.
It is very convenient to get from the airport to Paoju Hutong. The airport expressway goes all the way to the end, and you will be on the east street of Andingmen and then you will arrive at Dongzhimen North Street.
The original simple door has been renovated. Li Tang opened the door with the key, and his eyes lit up. The whole yard has completely changed. When he entered the door, he saw a newly built screen wall with vines, gourds, and dolls in the middle.
Duosun brick carving pattern. Needless to ask, it must be the idea of my father.
Turning around the screen wall, all the roofs were rebuilt and shiny. The original game gallery was wrapped in Chinese-style carved wooden glass windows.
The two wing rooms on the east are converted into kitchens and dining rooms; the wing rooms on the right are tea rooms, guest rooms and public bathrooms; the three main rooms are spacious and deep, and they are made into living rooms, master bedrooms and study rooms, and there are two more in them.
bathroom.
All rooms have furniture, appliances, bedding, and daily necessities, and are truly a bag-in.
"Wow, Li Tang, I really underestimate you. This yard is really good!"
Naian visited and was very surprised.
The entire yard covers an area of more than 200 to nearly 300 square meters. Apart from the absence of a house, it is basically a relatively complete courtyard. Only Li Tang knew that after all these decorations, his father spent a total of 350,000 yuan.
, plus the money for buying a house, the total cost has exceeded 900,000, which is less than one million.
"It was all done by my dad. He said that there is such a house in Beijing that can be passed on to family members in the future."
"certainly!"
Naian actually agreed very much and said, "It would be better to have a second-entry yard, which would be even more perfect."
"Don't, I can't afford the second-entry yard, and it's not easy to find it now." Li Tang said hurriedly.
Naian nodded and said with regret: "I didn't understand it at the time, and I always thought the building was good. If I didn't buy the house in the Asian Games Village, according to the market conditions at that time, it would be more than enough to buy such a yard."
She also particularly likes the jujube tree in the yard.
This jujube tree is in its old age. When Li Tang first visited the house, his leaves fell out in winter and didn’t pay much attention. Now it has already lush branches and leaves, lush and green, and the shade covers most of the yard.
It must be a great thing to enjoy the cool and drink tea under the tree.
The only thing Li Tang couldn't see is whether there would be a thorny caterpillar in the summer in the jujube trees in Beijing. Many people in the countryside of Shanghai also plant such a jujube tree in the yards, which can both shade the sun in summer and produce. But it is jujube.
It is easy to grow a caterpillar commonly known as "bristle". When you are stung by this caterpillar, it hurts and itchy, and a large area of redness and swelling. If you are sensitive to the body, you will also have rashes.
