Chapter 517: Love Rival

After watching the movie, Lu Ping drove to the appointed restaurant.

It was about a quarter past seven, a little later than the agreed time, and Lu Ping arrived there.

It is a Chinese restaurant, and it looks quite upscale.

As soon as he went in and reported the room number, the waiter quickly led him to find the room, the door opened, and several people who were already seated in the room stood up.

Her manager Gao Lanlan asked with a smile, "Is there a traffic jam?"

Lu Ping nodded, the room was full of acquaintances, and there was nothing to see, so he said directly: "The traffic jam is okay, the main reason is that it started a little late, and there are too many reporters and fans, so it's not easy to get in."

While speaking, he walked over and shook hands with Zhou Zhengyang, the general manager of Tianyi Film and Television. He still said, "I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long."

Zhou Zhengyang chuckled, "It's okay."

They sat down, and everyone sat down.

Zhou Zhengyang's secretary went out to inform that the food could be served, and everyone sat and chatted here. Zhou Zhengyang asked: "How do you feel after watching it? It is said that this is "Love in Scallion", which is called Yu Bojun's transformational work. It is a literary film. Appetite?"

Lu Ping smiled when he heard the words, and said, "It's almost meaningless."

Zhou Zhengyang laughed when he heard this, and many people in the room also laughed.

Gao Lanlan smiled, and said, "For our domestic directors, if you want to make this style and type of movie, the first one you have to convince is Qin Wei. For the time being, you can't make something that is ethnic and human." No one dares to surpass Qin Wei. Next, we are the director of Lu Da. There are "Old Town" and "Old Well" movies there. It's normal for you to look down on Yu Bojun's stuff. .”

This is of course flattering.

Qin Wei is a recognized master of art, and he is the top film director in China. No one would disagree with him ranking him first, but it is hard to say whether it will be Lu Ping's turn under Qin Wei. It's just that his current momentum is going upwards, and he is still so young. Maybe in ten or twenty years, he will become the first person under Qin Wei, or even surpass Qin Wei, which is hard to say.

What's more, the person sitting in this box right now, let alone others, Gao Lanlan is his manager. After watching "Old Town" back then, he found him decisively and began to work hard to send him to the film and television company Pushing, this helped him get the guide tube of "Ma Mingfeng Xiao Xiao", and relying on the small success of "Ma Ming Feng Xiao Xiao", he successfully got Tianyi Film and Television to invest in his third work "Old Well", which is a step by step. The people who brought him up to this day naturally have very good friendships, and they have more confidence in him than anyone else.

And after Zhou Zhengyang invested in Lu Ping's two works and achieved small gains, and "Old Well" successfully won the Best Director Award of the Great Wall Award, it was time for him to have great confidence in him.

Other than the two of them, the people in the room were either Lu Ping's "queen" screenwriters, or they followed Lu Ping's crew for the previous two films, and they were quite confident in Lu Ping's strength and development potential.

To put it simply, Lu Ping, who had already won the best director at the age of 30 and barely squeezed into the ranks of first-line directors, was the golden thigh in the eyes of everyone in this room.

So at this time, after Gao Lanlan finished speaking, everyone laughed.

It was definitely not a perfunctory or hypocritical smile, but everyone believed from the bottom of their hearts that Lu Ping did have some qualifications to look down on Yu Bojun.

However, Lu Ping only slightly grinned at the corner of his mouth, barely smiling.

Screenwriter Liu Hanqing smiled while smoking a cigarette: "The films Yu Bojun has made in recent years are really bad. That is to say, because of his family's theater chain, they can show them back and forth in the off-season, otherwise he would have paid him to death."

Everyone laughed again, and someone said: "It's not going to make much money, but ha, their band of the Four Beauties really has a lot of appeal, I see that many people on the Internet are calling for everyone to buy tickets together! Damn, it's a good thing to be a singer and make movies."

Gao Lanlan laughed along with everyone when she heard the words, but when she looked back, she keenly noticed that Lu Ping's interest didn't seem high, she hesitated for a while, as if she wanted to ask something, but after thinking about it, she decided to wait a while before asking. So when the waiter was serving the dishes, she took the initiative to liven up the atmosphere, chatting and laughing with everyone, and for a while, no one really noticed that there was something wrong with Lu Ping.

After drinking for three rounds, Zhou Zhengyang turned his head to look at Lu Ping, and asked with a smile, "Pingzi, how are you thinking about the new play?"

Lu Pingdao: "No hurry, I'm still thinking about it. I'm still making an outline recently. I'll have to find Lao Liu to make a total calculation later. Let's talk about it after the general direction is determined."

Zhou Zhengyang thought for a while after hearing the words, nodded, but he didn't rush too much, just smiled and said: "Okay, let's talk carefully after you think it over. But, I still have the same idea, you already have " "Old Well", the foundation of word-of-mouth has been solidified, and the next step is to think more about the direction of business."

Having said that, he looked around and said: "I won't talk about the successful directors in our country, Liu Chengzhang. That guy makes movies with a powerful and unconstrained style, and no one knows what he will make next. Du Weiyun shoots martial arts and historical figures. Then It's a must, but in fact, his box office has never been able to pull up. Why does everyone think that Qin Wei is a master, and when it comes to Du Weiyun, he always feels that he is a little bit worse? As for Zhao Meicheng, there is no one at all. Put him on the path of the master, why?"

Having said that, looking back at Lu Ping, he saw that the topic he brought up seemed to have successfully attracted Lu Ping's attention, so he explained with a smile: "Liu Chengzhang is too erratic, although his image style is extremely unique, he can shoot people Shooting heroes, ghosts, and monsters all reveal a spirit, but in essence, he is a director of commercial films. Zhao Meicheng is even more of a director of commercial films when he shoots one and sells one, so they are excluded! As we all know, You’re just a commercial filmmaker, just play with the box office, art masters won’t have your share.”

"However, can you become a master simply by making literary and artistic films? Du Weiyun is an example. Facts have proved that he can't do it either! That's what is recognized as the top spot among film directors!"

Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Lu Ping, and said with a smile: "Pingzi, you have already won a handful of best directors, and now is the most suitable time, you believe in brother, I will not lie to you! The next one, Make sure to make a movie that can win the box office, even if there is a bit of scolding at the time, as long as your box office goes up, everyone will have to look at you, because at that time, you will be the real box office word-of-mouth. ! Think about it, isn't it such a rationale?"

Lu Ping thought for a while and smiled, "It makes sense." But he still said calmly: "Let me think about it carefully. It's still the same sentence. Business performance must be paid attention to, but you can't just sit on it!"

Zhou Zhengyang laughed when he heard the words, and said no more.

The two have known each other for several years, and have collaborated on two films. He knows Lu Ping's character very well, and he also knows that this kind of thing can't be rushed, so he just clicked on it.

In any case, regardless of whether Lu Ping will listen to him or not, he will try his best to rely on commercial aspects for his next film. He will never let go of a cutting-edge director with unlimited potential like Lu Ping.

…………

When the banquet was over, those who had a car drove by themselves, and Zhou Zhengyang who didn't have a car arranged for his secretary to see him off. Before leaving, Zhou Zhengyang tugged at Gao Lanlan's sleeve, and the two of them got together. Zhou Zhengyang exhorted: "It's a little bit Something is wrong, you turn around and stare and ask, and guide and guide."

Gao Lanlan smiled, "Don't worry, I'm here!"

…………

Originally, they wanted to go back to their respective homes, but Gao Lanlan insisted that Lu Ping drank a lot of alcohol, and asked to drive him back in his car to be at ease. At the wine table just now, Gao Lanlan purposely reserved the amount and didn't drink too much.

In the end, Lu Ping had no choice but to nod in agreement.

When the car drove downstairs to Lu Ping's house, Gao Lanlan parked the car. Seeing that Lu Ping was about to get out of the car, she hurriedly stopped him and asked, "Pingzi, didn't you send it out?"

Lu Ping was about to get up, but when he heard the words, he sat down again, raised his hand to wipe his face, and sighed.

This woman discovered him when he was still a penny, and supported him when he was under the greatest pressure. Naturally, there is no need to talk about friendship along the way. In front of her, Lu Ping never hides anything. At this time, he bowed his head for a moment, smiled, and said: "He is the kind of person who can get to where he is today at a young age. He must not be so stupid. I knew before I went that he would definitely not accept my check, but I have to show this attitude and tell him clearly that this woman is mine! I've taken it!"

Gao Lanlan smiled when she heard this.

These words seemed to come from Lu Ping's mouth.

It has always been his style to be calm and thoughtful, but still domineering.

So, she asked: "Then, are you sure you want to receive it? Do you understand what you mean?"

Lu Ping smiled and said, "Of course. That's the same sentence, he's not stupid!"

"Then... will he let go?"

Lu Ping's face froze when he heard the words, and he immediately said confidently: "It doesn't matter if he lets go or not? As long as I'm strong enough, why should he fight with me?"

Gao Lanlan smiled at first, but then she couldn't help reminding: "His qualifications are not worse than yours. He is young, rich, handsome, and talented, and the whole country knows that he is especially attractive to girls."

Lu Ping's expression darkened when he heard this, but immediately he said with great confidence: "Lu Lingxi is not such a shallow person! The women around Li Qian are incomparable to her!"

Hearing this answer, Gao Lanlan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Is that Mr. Lu that good?"

Lu Ping laughed and said nothing.

But soon, Gao Lanlan said again: "That Li Qian is really talented. I don't know where Lao Zhou heard that you seemed to have some opinions on Li Qian. You even called me and asked me to tell you Let me just say, that person, if you can not offend him, try not to offend him. You can tell by the level of his filming of "Legend of the New White Snake", that he is not a simple character! Lao Zhou also said that if he makes a movie, his level may not be as good. It will be bad!"

Lu Ping snorted coldly and was about to speak, but Gao Lanlan suddenly said: "However, although I promised Lao Zhou that I would persuade you, but you know, I will always stand by your side, as long as You have decided, I believe you will be fine! Let alone Li Qian, even Qin Wei, we are not afraid! Sooner or later, you are going to challenge Qin Wei, since we are not even afraid of Qin Wei, let alone a Li Qian who only made one TV series just now? You know, a TV series is not a movie! Making a good TV series doesn’t mean you can make a good movie! He’s good at making music and making TV series, but he doesn’t necessarily have to be good at making movies! "

Hearing this, Lu Ping smiled slowly, and immediately felt much happier. After thinking about it, he looked at Gao Lanlan sincerely, and said, "Sister Gao, thank you for always supporting me!"

Gao Lanlan smiled, "We are one!"

Lu Ping took a deep breath, "Yes, we are one!"

Seeing the high-spirited fighting spirit reappeared on his face, Gao Lanlan seemed to be in a much better mood, and asked with a hint of a joke, "So, you don't want to start a new drama for the time being, and pursue that girl wholeheartedly." Mr. Lu?"

Lu Ping nodded, and proudly said: "At that time, in front of her, I was still a little ashamed. I liked her, but I didn't even dare to confess, but now, I have the confidence, so I don't want to wait a minute a day. !"

Gao Lanlan pursed her lips, but then nodded, "That's fine! Then you can go after her with confidence. I'll stop Lao Zhou for you, and try to let him disturb you as little as possible! But ha, shall we go ahead? Set a goal, for example, in half a year, you must win it, if you can't win it..."

Lu Ping laughed when he heard this, "Okay, okay, okay, I understand what you mean!"

After a pause, he said confidently: "Then half a year, half a year is enough for me to get it down! At that time, if I still can't get it down in half a year, I will definitely take it easy and start a new play, okay?" ?”

Gao Lanlan laughed when she heard this.

…………

I have to say that after chatting with Gao Lanlan for a while, Lu Ping's mood improved a lot.

But when I got home, I poured myself a glass of water, sat down on the sofa, recalled Li Qian's half-smile this afternoon, and recalled the smile on Lu Lingxi's face when he mentioned Li Qian during this time, and the tone in his tone. The feeling of intimacy revealed intentionally or unintentionally, of course, especially when she helped Qin Jingjing borrow money, she didn't come to look for her, but went to look for Li Qian's matter, which immediately aroused the fire in his heart.

Although he knew in his heart that his Senior Sister Lu had a good eye for others, and would never like someone like Li Qian, and he was sure that with the ability, talent, and unlimited future potential he had displayed at that time, as long as he With some hard work, it would definitely be no problem to take her down, but I have to say that Gao Lanlan, or Zhou Zhengyang's reminder, conveyed the deeper comparison between himself and Li Qian, which still made him feel quite uncomfortable. For displeasure.

Even he himself has to admit that Li Qian is indeed young, handsome and rich, and the most important thing is that he is richer and younger than himself. Compare.

In particular, his greatest strength, talent, he seems to have done well.

TV dramas and movies are of course not the same thing. It is not uncommon for directors who are successful in making TV dramas to enter movies but fail. Humble can make good movies. It's just... there are always worries!

Although Lu Ping is full of confidence in his movie talent, it has to be said that Li Qian is a rival in love enough that he has to take it seriously.

Of course, he never thought about it until now. In fact, Li Qian never intended to pursue Lu Lingxi.

…………

Thinking about it, thinking about it.

Lu Ping sat on the sofa for more than half an hour without speaking or moving.

The expression on his face changed every few minutes, from being frighteningly gloomy to full of pride.

At a certain moment, he suddenly picked up the mobile phone on the coffee table, dialed out the phone, and when he got connected, he asked, "Are you still filming?"

On the opposite side was a woman's voice, coquettish and coquettish, "I just finished filming the night scene, I'm exhausted, husband, my legs are so tired."

When Lu Ping heard the words, he gave a flat "um", "Since the filming is over, you come back."

"Ah? What's the matter?" The other person was a little surprised when he heard the words, and couldn't care less about acting like a baby.

Lu Ping continued to calmly say: "You come back as soon as I ask you to come back, why are there so many questions!"

This time, the woman on the opposite side finally heard that Lu Ping's mood seemed wrong, hesitated for a while, and said with a bit of flattery, "Honey, you also know that it's not easy for me to get this role, it's up to you President Tuo Zhou showed up, so I'm afraid that if I ask for leave..."

"Who told you to ask for leave? Come back now, get up early tomorrow, and I'll take you there!"

The other side is dumb.

After a long time, the woman said: "But...but..."

"What's so good about it, you are my concubine, serving me well is the most important thing for you, forget?"

"I don't have...husband...you...what's the matter with you?"

Lu Ping was silent for a moment, then calmly said: "I want to fuck you!"

The opposite party held his breath for a moment, then said timidly: "Then, then I'll go back right away!"

…………

Today's Lu Ping is extraordinarily vigorous. After a short break, Xia Xiaoyue's head was pressed down again. After a while, the glory came again and came again.

This time, after he finished roaring and trembling, Xia Xiaoyue was so tired that she didn't even have the strength to turn over.

But seeing Lu Ping's expression of relief after venting, she couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, she still struggled again, licked his lower body clean, forced herself to go to the bathroom to clean it, and then came back, snuggling up like a cat Lie down next to him——When she passed the door, Lu Ping made a rule for her, as long as he didn't agree, she was not allowed to conceive.

Seeing that Lu Ping's mood seemed to be much better at this moment, she didn't care about her tiredness and sleepiness, so she just asked timidly: "Honey, what happened to you today? It's so fierce..."

Lu Ping turned to look at her, stretched out his hand, took her into his arms, and said calmly: "It's okay, I just want to fuck you all of a sudden, can't I?"

Xia Xiaoyue snuggled into his arms and rubbed against each other, "Okay, of course, you are her husband! But... Husband, I think you seem to be in a particularly bad mood?"

"Well, it's nothing, I watched a bad movie, so I'm in a bad mood!"

Xia Xiaoyue froze for a moment when she heard the words, then lowered her head, a look of helplessness and resentment flashed across her face.

But she was too sleepy and tired, thinking that she would have to get up early tomorrow, so she only lay in Lu Ping's arms for a short while, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
