Chapter 502 Who Is It?

Lu Ping looked at his own face in the mirror.

Young, after all, he is only twenty-seven years old, with piercing eyes, short crew cut, and square face. After shaving, he looks more energetic. To be honest, although he thinks he is not handsome, but thrown into the crowd, It's definitely not the kind that disappears from everyone.

The so-called mediocrity or attractiveness of people, children may think that they only like handsome ones, but mature people know that no matter who they are, no matter how old they are, when looking at people, the first thing they value is their spirit.

Once a person has energy, men will be handsome and women will be beautiful.

He raised his hand and rubbed his chin, purposely ahead of time to shave yesterday. Today, a short stubble has grown, which is hard and a bit prickly. The image in the mirror is also clean with traces of stubble. wild energy.

That's it.

He took a deep breath and was very satisfied with his current image - in recent years, even since he entered the film school, this is the first time he has taken his image so seriously.

A pure cotton warm-colored shirt with the top button unbuttoned.

It’s too formal to wear white, it’s the color of the home, coupled with the seemingly inconspicuous action of opening a button, it will easily give the person sitting opposite a relaxed, honest, and willing to get close feeling .

He is a film director, and he is one of the most successful top film directors in China at this age. He is usually too lazy to pay attention, but once he pays attention to it, he wants to play with images and colors. He thinks he has almost no rivals.

Nodding to himself in the mirror and showing a smile, he turned to leave, but after hesitating for a moment, he turned back, thought about it, and unbuttoned the second button—well, it was much better again.

What kind of sluts are afraid of stalking, what kind of stalking, the so-called tricks of chasing women, he naturally disdains, so the method he adopts is to make friends first, and when he has accumulated enough good feelings, he will attack in one fell swoop and win directly.

Although she is the absolute goddess in my mind, today is not comparable to what it used to be. Although the goddess is still a goddess, she is no longer the youthful young man who just entered school.

Of course, tonight is just the first meal, and it's too early to say anything else.

Let her take out the script first to complete the first step.

After packing up, I answered the phone before leaving the house, and the other party asked jokingly, "I heard that you are going on a date? Do you want me to find some people to pretend to be robbers for you, so that you can show off your skills and capture the hearts of beauties in one fell swoop?" Lu Ping But he just replied calmly, "Go away!"

The appointment was at six o'clock, and at five forty, Lu Ping arrived at the restaurant.

He was going to pick him up by car, but the other party refused with a smile, saying that he came directly by bicycle.

It made him stand in awe.

The reason why the goddess is a goddess, and from the goddess of the past to the present, not only has not faded, but it has become more and more addicted to him, which is naturally reasonable.

Lu Ping admired this kind of calmness alone.

He sat down at the reserved seat and asked for a glass of water. While waiting with a calm face, he could hardly control the feeling of lightness in his heart—this was the moment he had been looking forward to since ten years ago.

At 5:50, he heard a familiar voice in his ear, and he raised his head immediately.

There was a smile on his face at first, but soon, the smile stagnated.

Lu Lingxi had already seen him, beckoned to him, then turned sideways and said something to the girl beside him, and the two of them soon walked over side by side with smiles on their faces.

Lu Ping knew her, and in the past two years, she was a young actress who was well-known, Qin Jingjing, who was also said to be from the Film Academy.

According to industry rumors, she seems to have had some quarrels with the company recently.

The two came over, with the same smiles on their faces, and the same beauty.

Lu Lingxi smiled and asked: "Have you been waiting for a long time? Let me introduce you to each other first. This is Qin Jingjing, a junior from the 93-level acting department, and this is Lu Ping, a 90-level directing department."

The two shook hands, and Qin Jingjing apologized, "I'm really sorry, Senior Brother Lu, I didn't know that Sister Lu had an appointment with you for dinner, I thought it was Sister Lu who had a boyfriend, so I pestered her to have dinner with her, I also want to help her check it out...won't disturb you?"

In my imagination, it was supposed to be a very romantic dinner, but the sudden arrival of a bad guest would definitely not make me too happy. However, Qin Jingjing spoke beautifully, and she vaguely meant to classify Lu Ping as Lu Lingxi's boyfriend. Even though Lu Ping was displeased, he couldn't feel any disgust. He smiled and said, "Why, sit down!"

At this time, it was Lu Lingxi who nodded at her, "Don't talk nonsense, Lu Ping and I are just talking about things!"

Lu Ping smiled, not paying attention.

Only when he glanced over occasionally, he found that Lu Lingxi was only carrying a small bag with him. Looking at the shape of the small bag, it seemed that there was no possibility of putting down a script, so he couldn't help frowning slightly.

The three sat down facing each other, the waiter came over, the three ordered their meals, and Lu Ping even specially ordered a bottle of wine.

While waiting for the meal, Qin Jingjing talked to Lu Ping very politely and with a little admiration, and Lu Ping responded one by one.

Although they came from the same school, Qin Jingjing had already joined the school when Lu Ping was in his senior year, but Lu Ping was already busy with his graduation film at that time. I didn't pay much attention to a certain beautiful school girl from my school, so I gradually heard of an actress like Qin Jingjing until later. I knew that she had played Diao Chan and was very beautiful. Later, I learned that she was a student from the Film Academy. sister, but that's all, there is almost no intersection between the two.

What's more, although there is only a difference of three years, the current identities of the two are already very different.

When Qin Jingjing first entered the school, Lu Ping had already made "Old Town", a film that shocked the entire film academy and was called a work of genius. At the age of 30, he has basically secured the top spot among the post-70s generation of directors in China.

As for Qin Jingjing, uninformed audiences may think that she has become a small hit in the past two years. With the huge attention she has attracted as Diao Chan in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", she has received several TV dramas in the past two years. Although it didn't get much popular, but the face was still brushing all the time. In the eyes of ordinary people, this is a great star.

But in fact, within the film and television industry, she is almost the lowest rank! It's only slightly higher than a certain passer-by A and a certain maid B who can be replaced by anyone at any time!

Whether domestic or foreign, actors in TV series are naturally lower than movie actors by a large dimension, and the status of actresses has always been lower than that of male actors of the same level. The actors of Xiaosheng and Xiaohuadan are also It is a little lower than the same level of strength faction, the strength faction is a little lower than the box office cafe, and the box office cafe is a little lower than the same level of actor cafe. Of course, the one standing at the pinnacle must be the invincible coffee who has the actor bonus and can carry the box office alone!

To put it simply, the higher the degree of indispensability and irreplaceability, the more awesome!

In the same way, directors are divided into box office, trophies and word-of-mouth on the one hand, and the really big ones are often those who can stand at the top of both - the current Lu Ping is of course far from the top A lot, but I have to admit that among the new directors born in the 1970s in China, he is the most accurate one who went directly to the path of Virtue and Art Shuangxin. Those like Jin Han and Wu He are too artistic, and those like Wu Han are too commercial. Only he, Lu Ping, has a double hit at the word-of-mouth box office.

And just like the relationship between singers, producers and songwriters, even if they are at the same level, actors are naturally one level shorter in front of the director!

If the current Lu Ping, although he is only a new director, after winning the Great Wall Award for Best Director this year, even ordinary film stars and box office stars must be polite when facing him, then Now Qin Jingjing, a budding TV actress, is basically at the bottom of the food chain.

Lu Ping has reached the point where he can negotiate conditions with film producers and film and television companies, and ask for some small powers, but Qin Jingjing has not even been able to get the opportunity to make a movie, and is still in the situation where she may be asked by the company to accompany customers at any time. At any time, it is possible to be asked for the stage of unspoken rules.

Therefore, the huge disparity in their ranks made Qin Jingjing unknowingly look up to Lu Ping, a senior who was only three years older, and unknowingly put honorifics on her speech.

To a certain extent, for Lu Ping, although Qin Jingjing's appearance could not be called happy, it was barely a good background board.

His attitude is reserved and modest, and Qin Jingjing admires him with a little bit of hope.

Simply perfect.

…………

The wine was opened, and the waiter poured a bottom into each of the three glasses, so the three of them chatted casually while drinking lightly. Of course, Qin Jingjing was mostly chatting with Lu Ping.

When the meals they ordered came out, the three of them stopped talking and ate quietly.

They waited until the main meal was finished and the desserts were served, and then the three of them picked up their wine glasses again, clinked glasses lightly for a drink, and chatted again—this time, before chatting a few words, Lu Ping put Qin Jingjing aside and took Turning her attention to Lu Lingxi, she asked with a smile, "Senior Sister, have you selected the script yet? Have you brought it?"

Lu Lingxi took a sip, smiled and shook her head, "Lu Ping, I don't think you should miss my notebook!" She waved her hand and said, "Don't talk to me, just listen to me!"

"At first, I was very excited, but after several days of choosing, the lame man should choose the general, and I also chose a book, but maybe I have that style... I know your kindness, and I believe you can do it." It’s okay to help me get investment, but I’m thinking about it... Hey, I also asked a friend to help me read the book, and they told me clearly that if I want to invest, I will definitely lose money, so I thought about it , Forget it! If you ask you to help me invest in a film that you know will lose money, it’s not cheating you!"

Lu Ping opened his mouth to speak when he heard the words, but Lu Lingxi smiled and said: "Don't coax me with the words that you are not afraid of losing money when investing in literary and artistic films. What kind of temperament are those film and television companies and investors? Don’t you know? I suffered a loss here, and I must be planning to make money from you! I can’t do this kind of thing!”

Lu Ping was speechless.

Between talking and laughing, Lu Lingxi's few words almost blocked all his explanations. If you continue talking, you will have to look at the poor - I just want you to take advantage of me, I am willing to attract investment for your money-losing film, and then use my own film to pay off the debt of favor, because I want to cheat on you ! ——Although he knew that with Lu Lingxi's intelligence, she must have figured it out in the blink of an eye, but it's okay to understand it, you and I know it well, but we must never say it!

If this meaning is said, it will be embarrassing for each other!

Lu Ping was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "It's okay! Since you don't even have such confidence, Senior Sister Lu... then let it go! But, don't push me to write a notebook for me! This Save face, you always have to give it, right?"

Lu Lingxi smiled when he heard the words, "I am definitely willing to help, but I can only promise that I will work hard to write, but I still advise you, don't count on me, and find someone else to write for you as soon as possible, because I don't care about myself. So confident!"

Lu Ping first smiled when he heard the words, and then frowned imperceptibly.

Although Lu Lingxi has always had such an attitude since the recent period of frequent contact, she is not cold, but definitely not warm, but today she still looks a little abnormal.

So, after flattering Lu Lingxi with a smile, he changed the subject slightly and came back immediately, "Not to mention, I'm quite interested in the person you found to help you read the script That person can make you believe so much, he said he will pay, and he can make you dare not even show it to me... Men and women, teachers in our school? Do I know them?"

Lu Lingxi smiled and stared, "Why, you still want to settle accounts with others? Did you lose a sum of money?"

Hearing this, Lu Ping reluctantly raised his hands in surrender.

…………

After leaving the restaurant, Lu Lingxi pushed the bicycle, and Qin Jingjing walked out side by side with her.

After a long distance, she turned around and saw Lu Ping standing at the door of the restaurant watching him off.

Night Breeze was a little cold, she shrunk her shoulders subconsciously, and said with a smile: "Sister Lu, Director Lu seems to be really interested in you! That look... tsk tsk..."

Lu Lingxi smiled, but said nothing.

Qin Jingjing turned her head and looked back again.

It has to be said that Lu Ping is young, but his performance in recent years since his debut is really too tough, especially the best director who won the Great Wall Award at the age of 27, which made his entire body The rank of celebrity and the high-profile, all went up in a straight line, and they were raised to a higher level in an instant. Qin Jingjing, a low-level actress who is still in the TV drama circle, can only look up to him—so young and promising, with box office and high-profile The director is simply the most perfect man in the hearts of all actresses in the entertainment industry.

Looking back at Lu Lingxi's profile, she couldn't help but ask again: "Sister, are you really not moved?"

Lu Lingxi smiled, then put away his smile, and shook his head seriously.

Qin Jingjing raised her eyebrows, shrugged her shoulders, and looked helpless.

She can't reach it, but others don't care, how can it be broken?

If there was a boyfriend like Lu Ping standing behind him, why would he be forced by those bastards to accompany him for a drink?

In this place in the entertainment industry, one's own strength, popularity, and charisma are of course the source of confidence, but a good support is enough to make people lean against a big tree to enjoy the shade!

After thinking about it, she couldn't help but ask again: "Hey, sister, can you tell me why?"

Lu Lingxi finally turned to look at her, and asked with a smile, "Why? I don't think it's appropriate!"

Qin Jingjing frowned, "But I think... yes, I also know that Brother Lu took a concubine the year before last, and many people envied her. Although she was a concubine, she later appeared on the big screen, and the supporting role is also good. But...men! What’s so rare about this! Let me tell you, in our entertainment industry, if you like a woman, sleep with her, and then you are willing to marry back, even if you marry back to be a concubine, such Men are already conscientious enough!"

Speaking of this, she said with a little sigh: "Think about it, everyone talks about boyfriend and girlfriend, and they leave them behind after sleeping. What can you do? Sister, you haven't been in this circle before, you don't know, this The circle is the circle where absolute men rule everything!"

"Although they are all engaged in art, they shout that art is above all else. Those slogans are loud and loud, but in fact, those old men are more conservative than the other in their bones. I have heard many people say After a while, when he sleeps with you, it’s nothing to hear. After sleeping, and getting tired of sleeping, you become a rag, and you just tear it up and throw it away... And as long as you take off your pants in front of a man, the back You are worthless immediately, and many old guys are not even interested in you, thinking that you are worthless scum..."

While she was talking, Lu Lingxi couldn't help turning her head to look at her. When she finished speaking and was falling into infinite emotion, Lu Lingxi couldn't help but said: "Okay, you, you have been acting for two years, and you haven't learned anything else. These are all messes. Didn't you ask a lot about things?"

Qin Jingjing turned her head to look at her, smiled embarrassedly, put her arm around her arm, and said with a bit of coquettishness, "Hey, I'm here to relieve you! Senior Brother Lu is not bad at all. Now he is also a great director who has won the best director, and there is only a concubine in the room, and in the circle, he has never had a reputation for messing around... Not bad!"

Lu Lingxi smiled and lowered his head.

Qin Jingjing didn't know if her words of persuasion had any effect, she just subconsciously analyzed from her own point of view, thinking that Lu Ping, in terms of talent, ability, and future growth, was completely worthy of a deer. Consonance, although he is not very handsome, and he also goes with the market, he is not exempt, and has a room of concubines, but as a man, this is not a shortcoming.

So after thinking about it, she couldn't help but said again: "Furthermore, let's not talk about it far away, there are examples nearby. For example, Li Qian, your student, my junior, no, the two queens, and According to what I've heard, I'm just talking about it until now, but Liao Liao and Zhou Mo haven't obtained a certificate from him, so this is still in the category of being able to get rid of it at any time! Let me see, it's not as good as Senior Brother Lu!"

Lu Lingxi turned to look at her, blinking her eyes.

Seeing this, Qin Jingjing thought that her statement had taken effect, so she couldn't help but hugged her arm even tighter, and said, "Besides, I think, in the past few years in our country, we have been influenced by some ideas from abroad. Even in ancient times, girls did not like to be concubines, but now the law has stipulated that it is to protect concubines! Therefore, if the opportunity is right, girls want to be regular wives , that is of course no problem, but in the situation where the right person is not so easy to find, if you meet the right one, you will be a concubine at worst, and it is nothing special!"

Speaking of this, she said seriously: "As for the thoughts that have been passed from abroad, I think it is definitely correct to say that women should have their own careers, but I think it is pure nonsense to advocate complete equality between men and women. In foreign countries, men and women are not equal! Do you think concubines are not allowed and you can divorce freely? Cut! Inequality exists in all aspects, and it is not equal if you call it equal! After two years, I am considered equal. I see..."

Lu Lingxi really couldn't stand her blah blah blah blah, and before she could continue her big talk, she couldn't help but asked, "Have you seen Lu Ping's movies?"

This topic was thrown out suddenly, which made Qin Jingjing stunned for a moment, and then said: "I have seen it! "Old Town" was watched at our school's graduation exhibition. When I was a freshman, when "Old Town" came out, the whole movie The college is shocked, among our group of students, many people worship Senior Brother Lu so much! We also watched the last two movies in the cinema, what's wrong?"

Lu Lingxi smiled, and glanced at her, "I've seen it, and you still like him so much? I remember hearing that you worked very hard when you were in college, and you only focused on acting? How about the aesthetics? Yes Does his film have any in-depth thinking?"

Speaking of acting, although Qin Jingjing dare not say how good she is now, whether she was in school or after graduation and started to take on roles, she really worked hard, but when it comes to film aesthetics, film aesthetics Ah or something, she was a little confused for a moment - this thing has always been considered the most advanced knowledge in movies, and to be honest, she doesn't understand it very well.

So, she looked at Lu Lingxi, waiting for her to explain to herself.

Lu Lingxi pushed the bicycle, she walked, and the two of them walked slowly on the dimly lit road together.

The high heels rattled.

After a while, Lu Lingxi lowered his head and said slowly: "In this world, there is a kind of people who are extremely smart, but the smarter they are, the more conceited and smart they are. In their hearts, they even dare to despise the world. Everything! Morality, ethics, law, etc. These things, there is no right or wrong, so-called geniuses, their thinking is far beyond ordinary people, and they are walking on the edge of madness. The only difference is that some smart people can do it for themselves Set up fences and restrain yourself, even if you have stood on the pinnacle of this world, you still have a flat heart! But, there are still some smart people, they will be impatient with any restraint and restraint, they prefer crazy Do everything! It’s just that with their intelligence, they are often very good at covering up their madness through various methods and methods at the beginning! Only when they step from success to greater success, they will gradually A little bit out of control, and slowly began to expose the crazy side of my heart, and, the more successful, the more!"

Having said that, she stopped, turned her head, and looked at Qin Jingjing who was already in a daze with a smile on her face. She smiled but said seriously: "And I don't like such crazy people, do you understand?"

Of course Qin Jingjing didn't understand, and felt inexplicably superior!

While she was standing there in a daze, Lu Lingxi had already pushed the car and went out again. She caught up with her a few steps and couldn't help asking curiously: "Sister, you mean, Senior Brother Lu is that kind of crazy genius? You How did you get it?"

Lu Lingxi smiled, "When you were in school, the teacher must have taught you that film is an art of light and shadow, right?"

Qin Jingjing nodded in bewilderment.

So Lu Lingxi continued: "Lu Ping's movies are full of talent, and they are the kind of talent that makes you feel very sharp! His settings and handling of light, shadow, characters, and contradictions in the movie reveal an incomparable sharpness everywhere. I feel like... a genius, indeed a genius! But, a paranoid genius!"

Qin Jingjing blinked her eyes, continued to half understand, and continued to feel inexplicably tall.

After hesitating for a long time, she couldn't help asking: "Then...sister, as far as the people you know and know, in our domestic showbiz, I mean the younger generation, there are people who are both talented and able to establish themselves. The fence kind?"

Hearing this, Lu Lingxi stopped again, thought for a while, nodded with a smile, and said with absolute certainty: "Yes!"

Qin Jingjing's eyes lit up, "Who?"

After a pause, he said impatiently: "He is famous now but not famous, can I buy the bottom?"

"Buying the bottom?" Lu Lingxi smiled upon hearing this, but immediately shook her head, "It's too late!"

"Too late?" Qin Jingjing looked disappointed, but quickly asked again: "Hey, who is it? Do I know him? Even if it is impossible to buy the bottom, if he is not too early, I will take the initiative to send him over to be the head office of the little wife." right?"

Lu Lingxi turned to look at her in surprise when she heard the words, "You really don't mind being a concubine?"

Qin Jingjing shrugged, "Look at me now! I want to act in movies, but I have never been approached for those movies! Even if it is such a small cost, no one has approached me! Besides, I thought I was doing well in the TV circle. It’s not bad, but now, the truth is revealed. Not only do I run a single gang, but I also owe a lot of debts! Hey, let me tell you, sister, you don’t know, really, I just realized now that in the performing arts Circle, how cool it would be to have someone behind you poke you there!"

Lu Lingxi curled her lips, "Maybe! I really haven't experienced it!" Then he continued to move forward.

Qin Jingjing chased after her, "Sister, tell me, who is it?"

Lu Lingxi shook his head again and again.

In the end, she was so entangled with her that she couldn't help it, so she had no choice but to say: "I said it, what's the point? You have to find out with your own eyes, right?"

Qin Jingjing pursed her lips slightly, and asked, "Then tell me, if I know you or not, is it okay?"

Lu Lingxi sighed, stopped, and said: "I know, that Liu Yulong is the one who lent you one million. He has been pestering you lately, right? Want to get rid of him?"

Qin Jingjing stopped suddenly, was silent for a moment, and lowered her head.

Lu Lingxi sighed, patted the handlebar of the bicycle with his palm, sighed, and said, "Well, I'll ask a friend to borrow it later, and I'll help you pay back his money first. As for the bargain hunting you mentioned... Jing Jing, that's my whole life, don't be so utilitarian, okay?"

Qin Jingjing pursed her lips, looked up at Lu Lingxi, and nodded slowly.

But soon, she realized, "You borrow money for me? Sister, that's 1.2 million! Who are you going to borrow it from? Brother Lu? But didn't you tell me you didn't like him? Don't for me……"

"Oh, don't worry about how I borrow it from you! Anyway, I'll just help you borrow the money!"

Having said that, she thought for a while, then turned her head to look at Qin Jingjing, and said, "By the way, it's really inconvenient for you to be a girl without the support of a film and television company, and you will be bullied. Otherwise, I'll ask you later. Inquire, choose a more reliable company to hang up with?"

Qin Jingjing shook her head and said like a frightened bird: "No!"

Lu Lingxi rolled her eyes when she heard the words, and said, "By the way, Li Qian's Minghu Culture Company, I think it seems to be developing into film and television recently. His "Legend of the New White Snake" is also very popular. No, on his side... After all, you all come from the same school. There are always nodding friends, and he is my student. You must be at ease about this, right? Look..."

Halfway through her words, Qin Jingjing's head was already shaking like a rattle.

Facing Lu Lingxi's puzzled gaze, she said with a bit of disdain: "Li Qian's reputation...do you know that we all went to film the Three Kingdoms at the beginning, but we were not in the same group at all. I am from the Han and Wei groups, and he is from the Eastern Wu group." The group, from joining to leaving, neither of us met. Just like that, the media can spread rumors about my affair with him. If I join Minghu Culture, with his flamboyant reputation and flirtatious temperament, then I will pay it back. have to!"

After a pause, she said again: "Besides, next time I either don't sign, or if I want to sign, I must sign with a company that allows me to make a movie! So, I would rather sell it for a price than to make a deal indiscriminately." That's it!"

Lu Lingxi opened her mouth slightly in surprise, and after a while, she shook her head dumbfounded, feeling that it was meaningless to say anything more, she couldn't help but sighed, and said, "Okay, this is your business, Make up your own mind!"

…………

On the dim path, two beautiful figures walked and chatted side by side.

The voice couldn't help asking again and again: "Sister, just reveal a little bit, who is the person you're talking about! Please, you are my own sister!"

Her answer was either silence or a wry smile.
