Global Movie Emperor

It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when he returned to the store. He didn't turn over the open sign, but just turned on the colored lights by the window. In the dim room, he walked to the refrigerator and rummaged for his favorite beer. There was a bang. , a faint smell of alcohol overflowed from the mouth of the bottle. He turned around and was about to enter the bar, when he saw a pair of green eyes lying on the bar staring at him.

"Meow……"

It seemed to be blaming Lu Ze for coming back so late, and it didn't know to leave a light for it. Its originally soft cry was now full of displeasure. Seeing Lu Ze looking at it, it turned its back and started making a fuss. Got tempered.

It is becoming more and more clingy, and is very cold to others, but it seems to have endless love for Lu Ze. When Lu Ze was filming, he kept it elsewhere for three to five months, and it would not be like this. But after Lu Ze lost his job and spent enough time with him, he began to become more and more dependent on Lu Ze.

Sitting on the inside of the bar, he took a sip of the beer foam, which gave Lu Ze a citrus flavor with a slightly bitter sandy texture. He took out the cigarette case, bumped the cigarette filter on the cigarette case twice, and held it in his mouth.

The elongated match placed on the bar was struck and lit. The sound of rubbing sandpaper and igniting fire was particularly pleasant to Lu Ze's ears. After the smoke entered his lungs, it was exhaled from his nose, savoring the sulfur smell that would not come with a lighter. He reached out and stroked the lame man from his head to his tail. The pure black hair was shiny and soft to the touch.

Open the takeout app and start taking orders. See if anyone will place an order in this hour. Just try your luck. Anyway, you will be idle if you are idle.

Seeing that the cripple was still losing his temper and motionless on the bar as if dead, Lu Ze smiled, took out a mint ball from the drawer and put it next to its nose. It turned off the fire, smelled the mint ball, and clamped Lu Ze's forelimb The palms of my hands became happy.

"Jingle Bell……"

"Hello, what do you need?"

The wind chime rang, and acquaintances would usually turn over the business sign and not come in again. At this time... Lu Ze glanced at the door in confusion, but heard the sound of a cane tapping on the ground.

"Good day, boss……."

"Hello, how can I help you?"

The lame man was already dizzy. Lu Ze took out his hand, stood up, pressed his elbows on the bar, and looked directly at the girl who didn't look very old. Today, she was just like she was when they met a few months ago. Nothing has changed, except that he is wearing a pair of large toad mirrors. The style is rather old-fashioned. It is probably a few years old and not very good-looking. He pointed to the sign hanging around his neck shyly, and then pinched the corners of his clothes without saying anything. Voice.

"Jin Hope School for Disabled Persons is asking for your help. This donation will be used to purchase prizes for the sports meeting of Jin Hope School for Disabled People and contribute to the healthy growth of children."

The room fell silent. She didn't get a reply from Lu Ze, so she didn't turn around and leave. She just lowered her head and waited for Lu Ze's answer.

Lu Ze leaned his elbows on the bar, took the last drag of his cigarette, and put it out in the ashtray. He looked at the girl carefully. She was really invisible. Lu Ze could be sure that he did not give out a counterfeit bill last time. Talking about it again, the girl probably didn’t know where the fake money came from.

Only the dim wall lamps were on in the room, and the colored breathing lights were flashing. In this case, the room was so dark, and the shop owner kept staring at people. If it were a girl who could see, he would have been scared away. , the girl also looked scared, but still stayed where she was.

After drinking half a glass of beer, Lu Ze sighed. He picked up his phone and scanned the QR code on the brand. The ding of the transfer interface prompt made the originally nervous girl reveal a silent but bright smile.

"The QR code payment was successful. Alipay received the payment, fifty yuan."

Don't think it's small. Fifty yuan is already a huge amount for a kind donation like this from a disabled person on the roadside asking for donations. If Lu Ze hadn't seen that the girl really couldn't see, he wouldn't have doubted the authenticity of the donation. Otherwise, he would have given It's not a big deal if he doesn't give it. Fifty yuan, for a small family like Lu Ze, is enough for him and the cripple to eat for a day.

"Thank you, boss! Ah..."

It is estimated that there were not many people donating, and fifty yuan was enough to make this girl excited. She bowed vigorously to Lu Ze, but the sign was swung like this and hit her head directly. The force seemed to be quite strong, which made her He let out a slight cry of pain, looking a little silly.

"Jin Hope...it's behind the community, right? It's not far from here. Are you a student at the school?"

"No, I'm a teacher. Boss, please tell me your name. When the sports meeting starts, we will post the list at the school gate. Thank you for your loving help."

She seemed to have a lot of things with her. She made a lot of noise when she took out her pocket. Finally, she took out a recording pen and held it in both hands, waiting for Lu Ze to tell him his name. Lu Ze was not embarrassed at all. She asked Yes, he answered.

"The land of the continent, the swamp of the swamp, the swamp of three points of water."

"Okay, thank you, boss. The sports meeting will start on July 1st. You can come and take a look, boss. Goodbye, boss!"

"Goodbye, it's almost ten o'clock, it's too late, go home quickly, and be careful on the road."

She seemed to have never heard of Lu Ze's name, or had not thought about the actor Lu Ze. After putting away the recorder, she bowed again, tapped her cane, walked to the door, pushed the door open with difficulty, and disappeared into the night. middle.

Lu Ze stared at her back and finally shook his head. There are always people whose life is a pity. He has seen too many, but it is inevitable that he will still sigh. But if she could see it, maybe she would not be like this now. He is pure and kind, after all, eyes... can hide dirt.

In the end, I still didn’t take the order until it was time to close the door, but it wasn’t a pity. I closed the door, took a shower and went to bed. I hugged the lame man who was drooling constantly, took out the diary from the drawer, made a few notes, and then gently pulled it down. Desk lamp cord, good night.

…

“Dingle bell….Dingle bell…Dingle bell….”

He opened his eyes and looked around the room in confusion. He hadn't woken up yet. He was about to finish filming a movie in the system space, but he was awakened by the ringing of his cell phone. With half-open eyes, he picked up the phone on the bedside table and dialed it. I got off the charger and looked at the contact person. I didn't know why Gao Peiling was calling so early.

It has been a week since I returned from Gao's home. During these seven days, the two have not met in person and only communicated by phone. The relationship has not become cold, but it has not become warmer because of meeting their parents.

"Pei Ling? What's wrong?"

"Brother Ze, did you just wake up? I'm sorry for disturbing your sleep. Well... I'm at the door and brought you breakfast so that you don't have to cook anymore. Please open the door."

Seeing Gao Peiling again, she got out of the car with breakfast, waved happily to Lu Ze, opened the door and walked in. She saw Lu Ze's big pants, big vest, and messy hair. After teasing Lu Ze, She quickly pushed him into the bathroom, while she was busy preparing breakfast for the lame man, and placed Lu Ze's breakfast on the table.

"Is it delicious? How does it taste?"

"This preserved egg and lean meat porridge is delicious. Where did you buy it?"

It seemed that she didn't eat because they wanted to have breakfast together. The two of them moved their chopsticks and started chatting. Couples in love always have many endless topics to talk about. Although Lu Ze and she have passed the love period, after all, We didn't spend much time together, and we didn't even spend much time on the phone on weekdays.

After finishing the meal, she rushed to wash the dishes and tidy up the bar. Lu Ze was putting beer in the freezer. It was a little strange to see her loving working so much today.

"What's wrong today? Do you like working so much?"

"I'm very hardworking, okay? What's wrong with me helping out in my boyfriend's store? By the way, Brother Ze, are you making good profits from this store?"

Lu Ze's hands and feet paused for a moment, then became natural again. He opened the carton into one piece, put them together, threw them into the small warehouse, clapped his hands before asking.

"It's okay, just average. What's wrong? Why do you ask?"

"No, I just suddenly felt that a beer shop seems to be a good investment project. Brother Lu, have you ever thought about expanding the scale and building a large beer shop with a few hundred square meters? The beer culture here in Lu Hua is not strong yet. Expansion If you get up, this investment can really be done. You know this stuff well, and you can guide me. We can do it together. In addition, you have the resources of a wine merchant, so the profits must be very good."

She was thinking about the future, looking excited. Lu Ze looked at her calmly, and was actually a little moved. She wanted to do this industry that she didn't understand at all, and she had a completely inseparable relationship with Lu Ze. In one sentence, To sum up, it was because Lu Ze liked it that she had such an idea. It all started with Gao Jiyong's words that night.

In a sentence-by-sentence analysis, Gao Jiyong first asked Lu Ze to judge the acting skills of the actor Lu Xiaofeng. He said that it was not close to life, and then he separated life and movies and told Lu Ze that what he values ​​​​is life, and also What I hope to see is Lu Ze in real life, not him on the screen.

So Lu Ze replied that the reason for filming was to make money and to make a living. The implication was to give Gao Jiyong a feedback, telling Gao Jiyong that Lu Ze had recognized the reality and now that he could not film, he also wanted to Making money and begging for food, he is now Lu Ze in life.

The sentence that it is a good thing for young people to have dreams was the top priority in the conversation between the two. At that time, Gao Peiling answered and said that Lu Ze was no longer young. Her meaning had nothing to do with the meaning of the conversation between the two. , I just have the urge to get married in a hurry, and I am telling Lu Ze, you are not young anymore, hurry up and start a family, hurry up and marry me.

But Gao Jiyong took over Gao Peiling's words, brought the meaning back to the channel that only the two of them could understand, and replied that youth has nothing to do with age, but everything to do with mentality. In fact, he was telling Lu Ze, look, My daughter says you are not young anymore, and you should know it yourself. It is a good thing for "young people" to have dreams, young people! ...understand?

The meaning of the sentence related to mentality also means that if you still have the dream of filming, but your body is no longer young, then your mentality is young. To put it another way, it is childish.

As for those two boxes of medicine, Gao Jiyong didn't know that Lu Ze had bought them. This was harmless. Anyway, it meant that with your current worth, you couldn't buy or get these medicines. This was to advise Lu Ze to make more progress. Stop living in that small beer hall. Gao Jiyong can help you Lu Ze buy medicine, and he can help you start a business.

To sum up, what Gao Jiyong means is that he hopes that Lu Ze will stop dreaming about filming and should be more down-to-earth and adapt to the current life. However, he also does not want Lu Ze to waste time like this. He should make progress and at least do something with high income. Only then can he trust his daughter to him.

There is no intention to look down on Lu Ze here. He will not look down on a person who has been brilliant but has fallen into despair. At least Lu Ze was once famous all over the country and his achievements were higher than Gao Jiyong. He has no right to look down on Lu Ze. He just hopes He can find someone who he can trust to hand over his beloved.

So he was actually kind-hearted and willing to help Lu Ze develop. He was even afraid of hurting Lu Ze's face by speaking out. He could only give Lu Ze some roundabout advice. After all, he was just such a daughter. If Lu Ze really became a daughter with Gao Peiling. Well, can he not help Lu Ze start his career? He must at least do one thing, which is to let Lu Ze enjoy his life and live in glory in Lu Hua's three-thirds of an acre of land.

You really have to treat your uncle like your own son. After all, if you are not good to your uncle, can your uncle be nice to your daughter? It is obvious that Gao Jiyong fully knows this truth.

And what about Gao Peiling? It seemed that it took her a week to understand the deep meaning of the conversation between the two, so she came over early in the morning to talk to Lu Ze about this matter. In the end, she still belonged to the Gu family, and she really liked Lu Ze, so she chose To sacrifice oneself.

Father hopes that Lu Ze will make more progress. Well, let Lu Ze do bigger business and stop guarding this tavern. Doesn’t Lu Ze like wine? Okay, then continue selling beer, and just build the business to a large enough scale that the two important men, father and Lu Ze, will recognize it. Is that okay?

Lu Ze has no funds, but she does. Lu Ze has connections, so that’s just right. Since she wants to live with Lu Ze, she should accompany him to do the business he likes to do. Even if the educational institution she set up by herself stops, she willingly.

As long as his father agrees to this marriage, Lu Ze can live happily and do the career he likes. What does it mean to sacrifice for the sake of his family? At least Gao Peiling now feels that it is worth it.

Both father and daughter have good intentions. Lu Ze knows this. He is not stupid, but it is difficult for him to have the face to accept such kindness and dedication. The psychological gap at this moment is the strongest Lu Ze has felt since he quit the circle. , this kind of inner shock and impact is really hard to describe...

"Pei Ling, please wait a moment."

"What's wrong, Brother Ze? What do you think of my idea?"

The thoughts in his head turned into a confident smile. After being interrupted by Lu Ze, the smile froze on his face. He looked at Lu Ze in confusion and felt a little panicked.

"Thank you, but there is really no need to pay so much. I mean really Peiling, you have your career and you like to do it, so don't give up just because you say you give up."

"Do you understand me...do you really understand me?"

Tears will always be touched in an instant, just like she is now, the feeling of the person she likes being rejected by her parents, the panic and fear, everyone who has experienced it will understand.

"Yes, I understand, don't cry, don't talk about it now, give me some time, I need to know what I can do, okay?"

She was crying in Lu Ze's arms. She had been holding back enough for a week. She needed to be released in this morning when the sun was warm and it was neither cold nor hot.

But what the two of them didn't notice was...

A taxi stopped at the door of the pub. A long-haired man with a backpack on his back and a dusty face got out of the car. He took out a note from his pocket and murmured the words on it in half-baked Chinese. Finally, Smile.

"The intersection of Tuanjie Road and Guangnan Second Street in Qingshan District, Luhua City, diagonally opposite the China Construction Bank, Lu Da Ge Beer House... is a bit interesting."
