Familiar coffee shop, familiar light fragrance, and familiar piano music.
Lu Yuan stopped for a moment.
Today's piano music is not "The Maid of the Neal" but "Für Elise".
Of course, Lu Yuan also knew the piano player, it was Zhou Yao.
Skillful techniques, elegant temperament, and a hint of white dress, along with the soft coffee light, give off a strange atmosphere...
"Brother Lu, you are here."
"Um."
"There's room upstairs, I'll take you there."
"No need, I can just go up there by myself. I know the way."
"Have you made a date?"
"Yes."
"Well, okay, please come this way..."
The girl at the front desk looked up and saw Lu Yuan with surprise in her eyes, and then she greeted him enthusiastically.
In her opinion, Lu Yuan is a very talented and romantic boy. At the same time, he doesn't have the arrogance of a scholar who doesn't care about anything, and he is very approachable.
She had a very good impression of Lu Yuan.
"Well, okay."
Lu Yuan nodded and walked towards the stairs on the second floor.
"Brother Lu, are you here?"
At this time, "For Alice" finished playing, Zhou Yao stood up and happened to see Lu Yuan, so she ran over happily. When she came to Lu Yuan, her cheeks were a little shy.
"Um, hello."
"I played your "Für Elise" just now, did you listen?"
"Yes, I listened."
"What do you think of my playing?"
Zhou Yao stood in front of Lu Yuan, like a student, with expectant eyes and a hint of apprehension.
"Not bad." Lu Yuan nodded after seeing Zhou Yao's eyes, "It sounds good!"
Perhaps he felt that his answer was a bit perfunctory and he was afraid that the little girl would cause unnecessary misunderstandings, so Lu Yuan added another sentence.
"Oh...does it just sound good?" Zhou Yao asked, her eyes filled with anticipation.
"Well, it's indeed not bad, it's quite tasty." Lu Yuan nodded, searching his mind but couldn't think of any words to describe it.
"Oh, does it taste good? Although I know Brother Lu, you are encouraging me, but I am still very happy... Well, I will work harder!" Zhou Yao nodded, after a moment of inexplicable disappointment, and then changed
Got a smile.
"Well, come on!" Lu Yuan didn't quite understand why Zhou Yao's face flashed with disappointment, but he really couldn't find the words to praise Zhou Yao. He felt that the words he could say were almost the limit.
He doesn't understand the deeper aspects of the piano very well. Although he is very familiar with Flirting for Elise, the deeper level of attainments cannot be understood even if he is familiar with it.
There are many things that need to be understood and understood.
At least Lu Yuan doesn't have this understanding yet.
"Yeah!" Zhou Yao nodded, then silently returned to the piano to pack her things.
"Für Elise" was the last song she played today. After playing, it was time for her to go back and rest.
Lu Yuan didn't think too much and walked directly to the second floor towards the last row of boxes.
"Maybe you should identify with her."
"What?"
Just when Lu Yuan reached the end of the aisle, he saw a middle-aged man in his forties leaning on the railing and looking at the coffee hall. After feeling Lu Yuan approaching, he turned around and showed a meaningful smile.
.
Lu Yuan looked at this middle-aged man a little strangely.
He had the impression that he did not know this man.
"This little girl is a very demanding person. Of course, she is also a person who longs for recognition. She hopes to get your approval. It can be seen that she has been working hard during this period."
"Um...I don't disagree." Lu Yuan was a little strange.
"She wanted to see your eyes of appreciation, but she couldn't see the appreciation in your eyes, so she was a little disappointed."
"..." After Lu Yuan heard what this middle-aged man said, he didn't know how to respond.
Could it be that he doesn't understand the true and deep meaning of this piano piece "Für Elise"?
Or, could he say that he doesn't know how to appreciate it?
Wouldn’t that be very shameful and embarrassing?
Unlearned and incompetent...?
Lu Yuan shook his head in his heart.
It seems that from now on I have to work hard on the piano aspect, otherwise I don’t know how to identify with others?
No, this is too nonsense, isn’t it?
Normal people wouldn't pay attention to these details, okay?
"Well, I'll go in first, I've made an appointment..."
"I'm the one who wants to see you."
"ah?"
"I heard that you like smoking very much?"
"well enough."
"How much do you smoke in a day?"
"Well...it's actually not much."
"How much is not more?"
"About a pack or so."
"..."
The middle-aged man looked at Lu Yuan and suddenly felt that this boy was too dishonest.
Isn’t one pack a day too much?
How is too much?
It’s been years since I smoked a pack a day!
You boy...
Pretty good at pretending.
"Do you smoke? I brought two packs."
"Just smoke it. Actually, I don't smoke much."
"Yeah, I understand."
"Honglan or Huaxia?"
"You smoke "Red Blue"?"
"Yes, I smoke this all the time."
Lu Yuan nodded and subconsciously opened a pack of "red orchid" and handed it to the middle-aged man. When the middle-aged man saw the "red orchid", his eyes lit up and he took it and ordered it immediately, looking like a skilled veteran driver.
"I haven't smoked this kind of cigarette for many years, and the taste is still so authentic..."
"I've always liked smoking this."
"How many years have you been smoking?"
"Seven or eight years."
"You can't tell, he's still an old smoker."
"It's not bad. Actually, I don't smoke very often. I only smoke when I'm bored."
"If you can kill one pack a day, your whole day will be quite boring."
"Get used to it..."
"Smoking is harmful to health and can lead to lung cancer. One pack a day is too harsh."
"I'm also considering reducing it a little bit."
"Quit it."
"Can you quit? People who even quit smoking must be so cruel to themselves!"
"Hahaha."
In fact, the two of them are the kind of people with similar odors. They both smelled the smell of tobacco on each other, so when the two cigarettes were lit, they both sat in the box and enjoyed the rising smoke. Everything was going on.
Not to the point.
This is a feeling of enjoyment like a close friend.
Although it is nonsense to smoke to get this feeling.
The middle-aged man saw sincerity in Lu Yuan, and at the same time he didn't have any sense of restraint. He looked very natural.
Lu Yuan saw kindness and peace in middle-aged people, which made him feel very comfortable.
"I have watched your movie. It was very good. The actors you found are also very good at acting. More importantly, your intention is very good. You can make a steady profit at the box office at a small cost. It is quite stable and the idea is quite good.
.”
"Um, thank you."
"Do you know who I am?"
"I didn't know before, but I should know more or less now."
"oh?"
"You should be the boss of Tianhe Cinema Line. Even if you are not the boss, you should still be a high-level figure." Lu Yuan laughed.
"Well, you guessed it right, my name is Wang Yaohua, and I am the boss of Tianhe Cinema Line."
"Oh, nice to meet you, hello, Brother Wang..." Lu Yuan was surprised at first, and then quickly stood up and shook hands with the smiling Wang Yaohua, feeling very flattered at the same time.
"What did you call me?" But Wang Yaohua's cheerful expression suddenly stopped.
"Brother Wang, I think calling you Uncle Wang is a bit... inappropriate?" Lu Yuan looked at the middle-aged man and felt that the middle-aged man was not too old, and calling him uncle was a bit weird.
"Brother Wang, just Brother Wang..." Wang Yaohua shook his head with a dumbfounded expression, "What are your plans for this movie?"
"Waiting for his release."
"No, I mean do you take it to Berlin or Taiwan? Or do you take it all over again?"
"What's the difference?" Lu Yuan understood immediately after looking at Wang Yaohua's expression.
Berlin Film Festival or Taiwan Golden Horse Awards...
After all, there is still a chance for literary and artistic films to win awards.
The box office is second, but winning awards is the real deal...
"Berlin will be in March next year, and Taiwan will be in November. Of course, they can be sent to them separately before the release. There is also a film festival in Spain that can also be sent to."
"Do you think you can win the prize?"
"Literary and artistic films cannot have much box office. Their value is to be nominated and win awards... I am very optimistic about "Buried Alive"."
"Then...you mean..."
"Send them all to try. There is no harm in winning or not."
"Yeah...that's right." Lu Yuan nodded after looking at Wang Yaohua's serious face.
It seems that "Buried Alive" in the original world won many awards, and its reputation and box office were soaring?
……………………
I chatted with Wang Yaohua until midnight. Basically, the two of them drank coffee and smoked cigarettes. After two packs of cigarettes, they were gone quickly.
At around one o'clock in the middle of the night, Lu Yuan returned to the company in Wang Yaohua's Rolls-Royce.
Wang Yaohua glanced at Lu Yuan's company, then looked at Lu Yuan again, with some emotion on his face, but in the end he paid attention to the next words of advice such as "work hard and smoke less in the future" and left.
Looks like Lu Yuan’s elder…
When Lu Yuan opened the door and entered the company, he found that Fatty Wei was not sleeping...
Not only did I not sleep, but...
"Zhoucao, Ayuan, good news, good news, I received a good script, and there is a role in it that is very suitable for you!"
"What?"
"Hero!"
"So powerful?"
"Yes! The male protagonist is a homeless man who is also a smoker, alcoholic, and drug addict. Moreover, it is the kind of inspirational film that no one loves..."
"???"
When Lu Yuan heard this, he was immediately stunned.
