Global Movie Emperor

"Mom, yes, I just got off the plane, and now I'm in Shanghai. Who am I with? Zixuan and a few other employees of the company. Yes, I didn't come back by myself. When will I go home? Oh, Mom, I've been here recently I'm a bit busy at work, so I may not have that much time... When I come back this time, I'm just going to negotiate a contract. Once the contract is negotiated, I have to return to the UK immediately."

"Well, even if I squeeze in some time to go home, I'll have to rush back after being home for two hours. I really can't do it. Mom, I miss home too, but... I'm really busy. Let's wait until this movie is finished. After that, I will put off all other work and stay at home for two months, okay? I promise to celebrate the New Year at home this year, and Xiaohai and his wife will come to me? We can wait until I get home in the second half of the year. If they can’t wait anymore, , just ask them to call me."

"In this case, I'll call and ask Xiaonan if she has time... No, I didn't mean that. I didn't ask Xiaonan to go home for me, but she is close to home after all. Okay, okay, I was wrong, okay? It really can't be done You guys come to England for two days, and I'll ask Zixuan to accompany you for a walk, okay, then there's no need to worry about it, you can just stay at home, that's it, I'll hang up first."

"Brother Lu, why don't you go home and take a look?"

"It's okay, I won't cause any trouble."

Just as he put his phone in his pocket, but before he could take it out, Wang Zixuan beside him suddenly asked. Lu Ze glanced at her and responded absently. He looked at the luggage carousel and reached out to pick up his suitcase. ,put it on the floor.

Wang Zixuan didn't say much. Lu Ze was not in a high mood, so he didn't bother him anymore. He took out his mobile phone and replied to the message. If Lu Ze didn't go home, she had to go home. After all, this time she was going to Zhejiang and not to visit the house. Come on, she doesn't have Dayu's awareness.

Several so-called negotiators around them were praising the Shanghai Airport. It was their first time in China, and they were full of curiosity about everything here. They talked about the delicacies from all over the world, as if they were planning to visit China. It felt like I had eaten all these cuisines in the past few days while negotiating with Lantai.

After applauding and attracting all their attention to themselves, the group of people stopped talking. It seemed that they were not yet fascinated by the public-funded travel and imaginary delicacies. For now, they could still tell the difference between big and small. king.

"Gentlemen, I know you are very excited. I personally welcome you to China, but we are here to work. When the work is over, you can stay in China for a few more days. You can eat whatever you want and go to any scenic spots you want. Go have fun, but now I hope you can use your minds on business, as we said before, Miss Wang will take you to Hangzhou by high-speed rail later, and I will meet you all tomorrow."

"No problem Mr. Lu."

The negotiation team answered in unison. This attitude made Lu Ze quite satisfied. He nodded, bent down and leaned next to Wang Zixuan's ear, giving her two final instructions in Chinese.

"After arriving at the hotel arranged for them, you can go home. Pay attention to safety in everything. Don't be too polite to them. Don't think of yourself as a tour guide. Clean up when it's time to clean up. If anyone is cheating, just call me. "

"Don't worry, Brother Lu."

"Okay, then I won't send you off. You can come into the station."

There is a train station inside the airport. Several people have already bought their tickets. After Lu Ze dropped them into the station, he was just about to buy a cup of coffee when his phone suddenly received a text message. He was in a coffee shop only a few dozen meters away from the airport. The person waiting at the door hesitated for a few seconds, then he grabbed his luggage and strode back.

"Honey, look quickly, is this person Lu Ze?"

"Don't tell me, it seems like...he is developing abroad now, why did he come back to China?"

"Where? Where? Really! I just met a real big shot."

After twitching his ears a few times, Lu Ze absorbed all the sounds around him. He secretly complained in his heart that even after disappearing from the domestic circle for several years, he still seemed to have underestimated his recognition in the country.

He never likes to wear a suit when taking a plane, and spring has already begun in Shanghai and the weather is not cold. At this moment, he only wears a sweatshirt with the Liverpool LOGO printed on it and a pair of jeans. The celebrity three-piece suit only includes sunglasses. , it would be strange if he could not be recognized by people who are familiar with him.

In an instant, he was separated from the dull feeling of meeting fans in Liverpool. Thinking of the enthusiasm of domestic fans, he was so frightened that he quickly put on a sweatshirt and hat, and his legs moved faster.

"Lu Ze, I recognized you even though we were far away. I'm your old fan and have been following you for several years. Can you sign your autograph for me?"

"Another day...another day...not right now."

Now he had no choice whether to admit it or not. The other party had already taken out his mobile phone and was about to take a video. Lu Ze could only nod politely and glance to the side. The fan's behavior seemed to attract more people's attention, which made him I didn't even dare to stop, so I almost started running away. If I stopped, I would have to use two tubes of water-based pen oil.

"No, I may never have the chance to see you again in the future. Please, just sign your name for me. Can I just delay you for twenty seconds? Please, please..."

"Lu Er! Here!"

With a loud shout, Lu Ze seemed to have heard the gospel and quickly gave the fan a bottle of The guy who does this job, if you don’t give him something today, he can scream so loud that everyone in the airport can hear it.

"Brother Shen! Where is the car parked?"

"It's on the elevated highway! Run quickly! I only have three points left! The traffic police chased me away!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ze could no longer hold back his legs that were about to move, and rushed to the visitor's side. Listening to the repeated broadcast of the persuasion to leave, he quickly threw his luggage into the back seat and sat on the passenger seat. tone.

"I hope it didn't get caught... Fasten your seat belt quickly, this is a tight spot, don't capsize in the gutter."

After hitting the floor oil vigorously, the Range Rover Executive sped out. It wasn't until it was far away that the person in the driver's seat slowly smiled, and eventually the smile became more and more unrestrained.

"Lu Er, what do you mean by this? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have climbed onto the elevated highway. I would have waited for you in the parking lot. Isn't it shameful to have such a big influence? Sigh... Okay, it's been a long time for us brothers. No, your sister-in-law has cooked a lot of food at home, so she needs to have a good drink today."

Smoke and fire were thrown on the center console, and Lu Ze was not polite. He lowered the window and lit one, which calmed the beating heart in his chest. Now that he was in good physical condition, he was just scared.

After a long while, he exhaled and counted the time secretly. However, he hadn't seen each other for seven years. I thought that when he was filming "The Leader", he was still the fair-skinned and lean Major Lin Yi. Now, he only lives. He became a middle-aged Wang Pushen who gained weight.

At first, the two of them were still hanging out, but until Lu Ze entered the film industry, they gradually lost contact. Now, he has quit the film and television industry for many years, and no longer serves as a lecturer at the Shanghai Theater Academy. Instead, he chooses to go into business and start a life. The business of the fresh food supermarket is now prosperous.

"Okay, you decide how much you want to drink, and I'll accompany you as much as you want."

"Come on, I can't drink you. I only have half a catty of white wine. If I drink more than a sip, I will stop eating. It's not like you and Lao Song and the others, who are like wine vats."

After chatting and laughing for a while, Wang Pushen squeezed the hand on the steering wheel a little tight, then relaxed a little, raised his middle finger, tapped the steering wheel, rolled his eyes, hesitated, and spoke.

"Lu'er, why did you come to see me this time?"

"Well... I have a company in the UK. I have something to do now. I hope you can help me, Brother Chen."

"Borrow money?"

"No, where did you want to go?"

"That's fine, otherwise I will kick you out now. You are such a big star and you still earn Euros... Are you looking for me to act?"

He kept looking at Lu Ze with his peripheral vision, and seeing that he didn't look like he was borrowing money at all, he suddenly changed the direction of the question and got to the point. Otherwise, the two of them had not been in contact for seven or eight years, and Lu Ze suddenly returned to the Magic City to find him. Does he drink?

Lu Ze was not involved, but he still answered his question simply, with a straight word.

"Why not find Lao Song and the others?"

"I thought about looking for him at first, but his mother has been very ill recently..."

"Isn't his mother forgetful? Why is it so serious?"

Waiting for the traffic light, he lit a cigarette, frowned and asked questions. After exiting the circle, not only did he lose contact with Lu Ze, but his relationship with Song Guiyuan, who was very strong, also weakened a lot. In the past few years, I really haven’t spoken a few words.

"At first it was forgetfulness. Then I went to the hospital for a check-up and found that something was growing in her head. Now the old lady's condition is not very good. From what he said, I guess... it's not easy to cure. This time I returned to China, I was actually thinking about it. I need to go to the imperial capital to see the old lady."

"Oh, this is such a terrible thing. When are you going to go? I'll go with you. Okay, let's not talk about this for now. You wait in the car while I pick up the kids from school."

Passing by a primary school that looked like a good environment from the outside, he got out of the car and, like many parents, walked to the school gate and waited for the children in the school who were lining up to leave the school.

After a while, he came back with a little girl wearing a red scarf. The girl was jumping up and down. She seemed to be in a good mood, with a bright smile, showing the gap during the tooth replacement period. He saw that there was another person sitting in his father's car. It was useless. Wang Pushen said more and took the initiative to say hello to Lu Ze.

"My daughter, Wenwen."

"I know. Didn't I come here when the child was one month old? Alas, he has grown so big in a blink of an eye. What grade is he in?"

"Wenwen, tell uncle what grade are you in?"

"It's second grade. Dad, come here..."

Her voice was childish, but her words were precise, which easily moved Lu Ze's heart. Wang Pushen was happy when he smiled and watched her whispering to her father, whispering, and then making a puff.

"Wenwen said she seemed to have seen you on TV and asked if you were a big star."

Now the child was unhappy, and his scolding tone made Wang Pu Shenxiao's forehead lines deepen. He could only beg for mercy, hand the phone to the child, and told her to fasten her seat belt before viewing short videos.

"Wenwen doesn't know that you have acted?"

Glancing at the back row, he saw the child playing with his mobile phone An Xin. He asked softly, but all he got was Wang Pushen with a cheerful smile on his face, shaking his head gently...

"What about you? When do you plan to start a family? My daughter will be in her teens or 20s by then, and you have just had a child. By then, this generation... won't it be chaotic?"

"Get out!"

After the child got on the bus, the conversation between the two began to change, and they started a multi-faceted discussion around the child. Later, Lu Ze's identity was finally exposed. The reason was actually because she had seen Lu Ze's photo at the Magic City Airport today. video.

Fortunately, this video was on the top 1 of software hotspots. Wenwen read the comments and was deeply shocked. Only then did she realize that her father's co-pilot was sitting with such a great person.

Then...she pestered Lu Ze and kept asking him about what it was like to be a star and whether it was fun. She didn't let go of Lu Ze's hand until she got off the car. The three of them got into the elevator. Since they were a single-family apartment, On the first floor, as soon as the elevator door opens, there is a tangy aroma.

"Here? Come in quickly, I'll find slippers for you. I've always heard that you like to eat braised hairtail, so I tried making it. I don't know if it suits your taste. Wenwen, don't pester your Uncle Lu. Go inside and wash your hands quickly, look at you, you are so dirty."

Wang Pushen's wife's surname is Bai. As her surname goes, she does look very white. Her appearance is not particularly outstanding, but her temperament is somewhat close to that of Song Guiyuan's wife Zhuang Xue, who is not yet married. She has a ladylike air. Of course, now The great pianist Zhuang Xue has completely turned into a shrew because of the two ancestors in her family...

He walked out of the kitchen with a polite smile and wiped his wet hands on his apron. His waist-length hair was tied into a ponytail and lay against a white thin sweater, making him look very neat and tidy.

"Sister-in-law, don't bother me. I'm so sorry for bothering you and your family of three, but you still prepared so many dishes for me."

"Hey, what's the trouble? You and I, Pu Shen, have been brothers for so many years. Why are you being so polite? Just treat it as your own. Don't say sorry. My sister-in-law doesn't like to hear it. It's just that I'm not very good. I can only cook some home-cooked dishes, but my hands and feet are indeed a bit clumsy. If the cooking is not delicious, don’t blame my sister-in-law for her poor cooking skills, and don’t come to my Pu Shen for a drink next time.”

"What do you mean? You can smell the aroma from a long way away. How can the craftsmanship be any worse? I haven't eaten serious Chinese food in a long time. Just don't scare my sister-in-law by eating too much."

"It's okay. Come to my brother's house. Can my sister-in-law let you eat as much as you want? If you don't have enough, my sister-in-law will cook it for you. Okay, I still have some dishes to order here. You can tell Pu Shen first. chat."

After she finished speaking, she entered the kitchen again. Lu Ze gave Wang Pushen a thumbs up, and then Wang Pushen was so proud that he took Lu Ze into the tea room.

The first thing you see is a huge tea table. A visual inspection shows that it is at least two meters long and the table top is thick enough. I stretched out my hand and touched it, and then took a look at the texture. It was made of Burmese yellow, and it was not cheap. It was not worth tens of thousands of dollars.

The balcony facing south was a floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the scenery of at least two kilometers ahead. On the wall behind Lu Ze, there was a full-length landscape painting, with the word "tea fun" written in italics on the far right, and a poem with a poem below. There is a signature, and behind Wang Pushen are various porcelains, whether they are antiques or handicrafts.

The host chair is a general chair and the guest chair is a Nangong chair. They are both made of solid wood, the same material as the tea table.

He boiled water and scalded the cup with a sophisticated technique. There was nothing fancy, but it was pleasing to the eye. He lit a stick of incense, drained two ounces of tea soup from the dark brown old Xi Shi pot, and poured Lu Ze seven minutes full from the Gongdao cup. When you press your lips together, the temperature is just right in your mouth.

"Brother Shen, you still understand life..."

"What do I know... It's just to find peace in the midst of trouble, to have fun in the midst of suffering. Your sister-in-law is cold, so maybe it's a little hot at home. If you feel hot, I'll lower the temperature. By the way, how are you doing here? "

"No, it's not hot at all. This tea is really good."

For a moment, the two of them didn't know what to say. They looked at the incense stick at the same time, watching the sandalwood smoke curling gracefully and lightly in the air, and finally disappeared, only adding a hint of fragrance to the room.

"Actually, I have thought about what you just said."

"Um."

"To be honest... I really want to give it a try. After all, I have been an actor for more than ten years. It would be really difficult to just let it go. The company is not very busy with work now, but... Wenwen is already so old, and I have been changing careers for so long, and I always feel a little unsure."

The bottomless thing is not that he is afraid that he will be laughed at by his daughter when he appears on the screen, nor is he afraid that his acting will be bad and his reputation will be ruined. In fact, he has no reputation now, and it is not that he is afraid that his family will object, which will affect his current happiness. What he is afraid of is that after picking up the family life again, he will "rekindle his old love" and find it difficult to let go of acting.

Lu Ze understood what he was worried about and did not comfort him. He opened a peanut and put it in his mouth. Wang Pushen refilled the tea for him and drank half the cup before opening his mouth.

"I can understand that although people like us are not born for drama, over time, we will inevitably develop feelings for drama. Leaving once is a decision, and leaving for the second time is even more heartbreaking. But I I think it’s a pity that all your skills were wasted. When you told me that Wenwen didn’t know that you had acted before, I felt really bad.”

"well……"

"Brother Shen, don't sigh. I won't persuade you this time. I even feel that I shouldn't have said this just now, because you now have a family and a career. Being an actor is a kind of life, and so is running a business. A kind of life. We are both older. I am already in my thirties. You are eight years older than me. You are raising a family. It is time to think about your family. If you were just thirty, I would definitely I have been trying to take you to film a movie, but now, I don’t have that idea. If you say you want to film, whether it is to realize your dream or make a comeback, I will definitely support you, but if you say you don’t want to act, then we are buddies. We can’t break off anymore, we have to keep in touch in the future, as long as you don’t blame me for affecting your life, brother.”

"What are you talking about..."

He smiled helplessly, took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes, and looked out the window. The sun had set at this moment, and the bustling city was brightly lit. Compared to the day, the magic city was showing its vitality from the night.

"I'll think about it again..."

"Not in a hurry."

"Pu Shen, Aze, it's time to eat."

"Okay, here we go."

This meal is not just a simple home-cooked meal as Wang Pushen's wife said. There are six meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes, two cold dishes, and a soup. It is almost in time for the Chinese New Year, and it is very suitable for Lu as a northerner. Ze’s dietary needs, simply put, are hard food!

And the taste was not as bad as she said. On the contrary, the craftsmanship was very good. It was just that it tasted a little bland when Lu Ze ate it, but this was insignificant.

Wang Pushen drank a lot today, which was enough. The two of them drank one and a half kilograms in total. Lu Ze drank one kilogram alone. Wang Pushen, who was happy with the drink, suggested drinking more beer, but Lu Ze dissuaded him.

After the five flavors of the dish were finished, Wenwen also took Lu Ze, who was happy to drink, to shoot a short video. She used the most popular special effects among children at present, wearing bunny ears and the like, making Lu Ze look like an old baby. It looks pretty cute.

What makes Wenwen even more happy is that in just half an hour, the work she just posted received more than 1.72 million likes. She kept screaming and sharing it with her mother, but she was still very well-behaved. , knowing that enough is enough, there is no need for parents’ reminders, and in just twenty seconds, two works, one shot together and one just shot of Lu Ze, are enough.

Just because he was a little hot after drinking, Lu Ze took off his sweatshirt and put on Wang Pushen's half sleeves. Wang Pushen was surprised to find that this kid had become so strong.

"Lu'er, you can train well, these muscles..."

"It's just for filming. If I don't film, I'll be much fatter than I am now."

"Then you'd better stop eating. It's not that I'm stingy. The key is that you can't lose weight in vain. If you had told me earlier, I would have asked your sister-in-law to prepare a vegetarian dish for you."

"It's okay. My sister-in-law has prepared so many delicious foods. Even if I gain ten pounds, I still have to eat cleanly, right? Besides, I am indeed hungry for Chinese food. Brother Shen, don't worry about me. I never control my diet when filming. It was the same when I was filming. Before I started filming, I could basically lose a few kilograms in two days. This was normal. When I started filming, I had to exercise every day. Even if I calculated my weight, I was never off the scale. If it really didn’t work, I would just Just put on sweat clothes."

Lu Ze was also happy. He ate a piece of lobster meat, dipped it in some mustard, and choked. He waved his hands with a red face and took the toilet paper handed over by Wang Pushen to wipe his tears.

"The sweat suit is not good, use it sparingly."

"I can't help it. Sometimes the scene requires it. For example, when I was filming "Alive", I sweated more than a kilogram and my lips turned white. After filming that scene, I was slapped and beaten for three days. glucose……"

Laughing and talking about the past, this calm and relaxed attitude gave the couple a very complicated feeling when watching Lu Ze. Wang Pushen said at the beginning that Lu Ze has a strong talent. There are two types of new generation actors, one is other actors, and the other is Lu Ze, but now, they realize that only such dedication can be worthy of his achievements today. He is extremely talented and dares to risk his life. No wonder he stomps his feet and the Chinese film and television industry trembles.

…

There was a slight snoring in the room, and she gently urged Wenwen, who was still playing with her mobile phone, to sleep. After coaxing Wenwen, who was crying because her mobile phone was confiscated, to sleep, she entered the master bedroom and gently pushed the bed. Wang Pushen was half asleep and half awake.

"Huh!?? What are you doing? Oh... I just fell asleep, and this scared me."

"What did Aze tell you today?"

"Ah...he asked me to play a role."

She got into bed and nestled in Wang Pushen's arms. Smelling the strong smell of alcohol, she got out in disgust, lying on her side like a mermaid, squinting her face and staring at her man.

"Are you going then?"

"I haven't thought about it yet."

"How about... you go ahead."

"Oh... don't get involved in my affairs."

"I know you feel uncomfortable and are thinking about filming. Look at your trophy. You wipe it off every two days, every two days. The paint is almost wiped off by you, and you won't let others touch it. If you want to go, I support it. You, just think that your dream has come true. After the filming is completed, we will live a good life, live how we want, as long as you can breathe out, you can do whatever you want. If you finish filming, people will come to you again. Now that we are filming, we will be freelance actors. It doesn’t matter if the pay is small. The main reason is that we are not angry with the company, and with A Ze here, no one dares to give us a blank look. If you feel that you are too busy, I will quit my job. , I will be your agent, and I will be able to take care of everything at the same time, and earn double money. I will buy some jewelry for Wenwen as a dowry in the future, do you hear that? Pu Shen... Pu Shen? "

"Hmph... snore, snore, snore..."

"You're falling asleep now? Pu Shen? Wang Pu Shen? I told you not to drink so much, not to drink so much, but you just don't listen. You can sleep to death."

After lightly kicking her man, she turned over, turned off the light, and closed her eyes with a sense of anger. A heavy arm pressed up, hugged her, and locked her neck...

"Go away, if you want to sleep, sleep well. Who is the grown man who rolls around in bed! Do you think you are a child?"

"Xiao Lian, I want a second child."

"Are you pretending to sleep with me? Damn it, it smells so bad, don't touch me, I'm afraid of you..."

"..."
