Rebirth 2010, the best

Chapter 174 Finger Investment
Lu Yao had to admit that he was a professional director after all and he could feel the difference right from the start.

Not to mention other people's praise, he also thinks the photo is beautiful.

So what followed was an exchange of phone numbers with Stephen Fung and a photo in the phone.

Lu Yao quickly sent this photo to Hu Li.

Hu Li's reply was also very quick:
"You wear glasses?"

"Flat glasses, radiation-proof."

"When will you come back?"

"how?"

"miss you."

"Well, I should finish my meal. I'll go back after I finish my meal."

"Okay, then Xiaochu and I will go to eat."

On the other end of the phone, the lady who had just come out of the gym looked at the photo carefully, and then silently changed it to the background picture.

Hey, my boyfriend is so handsome.

As for who took this photo...she was too lazy to ask.

She understands men’s social interactions.

And understand.

But now she just wanted him to go home quickly. Tonight...she would never let her boyfriend take off his glasses.

It felt like a new person, a sense of freshness. And... for some reason, after seeing this photo, she felt a desire to conquer him.

Weird, but desperately desired.

To conquer.

Conquer this mountain.

……

Lu Yao was really full in the car. With carbs, oden, and two Snickers bars, the calories were almost explosive.

So he had no appetite for dinner, especially Western food.

Besides, he had to drive, so he didn't drink.

After a group of people had been toasting each other for the third time, he left the table and returned to the sofa as he had nothing to do.

There was a folder on the table just now, and Song Yufei said it contained the scripts he had received recently.

Lu Yao was somewhat interested and decided to take a look.

After opening it, he looked at the thick stack inside, picked up a few stacks at random, and showed a look of surprise.

Because the first script I got was called: "Lost in Thailand".

This movie... is so popular.

Even after such a long time, when I see this name, those classic scenes are still vivid in my mind.

He thought about it, turned his head to look at Song Yufei who was drinking happily, and put the script aside.

Then I picked up the second one.

"Breaking News"...hmm, never heard of it, PASS.

He didn't even read the content, but just looked for the names of popular movies or similar plots in his memory and read one after another quickly.

And just then, he smelled a familiar scent of perfume.

Subconsciously, I thought Xu Ruchu had come.

When I looked up, I found that it was not Chu Jie, but Yang Ying.

The other person, with blushing cheeks, held a box in her hand and sat down next to him.

"hello."

Seeing Lu Yao looking up, she greeted him with a smile, looking so friendly.

Lu Yao smiled and nodded.

Then she took out a piece of wood from the box.

"This is……"

"Wait for me a moment."

Yang Ying said this and stood up again.

A wine bottle and a shot glass were quickly brought over.

Lu Yao looked at the letters on the bottle and wondered if there was a new way to drink tequila, instead of lemon and salt, using wood chips?
But then he saw the other person take out a new cigar from the cigar box on the table.

First she poured half a cup of tequila into the shot glass, then she picked up the wood chips and put them into the glass.

The voices sounded at the same time:

“In fact, no matter how well a cigar is stored in a humidor, it will inevitably lose its fresh flavor over time. Moreover, the flavor of a single cigar will be slightly inferior in an open space.”

Lu Yao blinked, became interested, and nodded:
"Um, so what?"

"Cedar wood."

She held the freshly opened cigar in one hand and pinched the wood chip in the other.

He placed the end that had just been soaked in wine on the cigar and began to scrape it gently.

"The scent of cedar wood is fresh, woody and sweet. Moreover, these flavors will gradually increase under the activation of alcohol, but they will not dominate the fragrance. This is why cedar wood is used to make perfume."

Under Lu Yao's gaze, she scraped the cigar's perimeter with a wet cedarwood chip and continued:
"The aroma of agave has notes of caramel and honey, which complement the sweetness of cedar wood. It also neutralizes the bitterness of the cigar, making the aftertaste sweet instead of choking."

As she spoke, she cut a vertical incision on the cigar, picked up the lighter and started to light it.

After making sure that the cigar head had turned completely red, she held the cigar in her hand, shook it in the air twice, and then handed it to Lu Yao with a smile, just like holding an incense burner.

In other words, from a certain perspective, the cigar sommelier has completed the previous preparations and handed the cigar to the drinker.

To be honest, a feeling of...indescribable swelling arose in Lu Yao's heart.

The star who was admired by thousands of people on the screen has now become an eggplant waiter, concentrating on serving himself.

This feeling of expansion did not come out of nowhere.

It's even a bit addictive.

"Thank you."

He thanked him politely.

With a bit of curiosity and a bit of calm restraint, he took it and put it in his mouth.

He has completely quit smoking.

But the smell of the cigar gave him that familiar feeling.

And this time…the familiar taste was accompanied by a stunning aroma.

"!"

He glanced at the other person in surprise.

Although there are no words, the expression says it all.

So the woman smiled and asked:

"There is also an advanced version. Do you want to try it?"

Lu Yao nodded subconsciously.

Indeed, this tastes amazing.

He wanted to see what else could be called "advanced".

But this time he failed.

"Then I'll serve that handsome guy who doesn't like to reply to other people's messages the next time we meet again."

"Uh……"

Lu Yao was stunned.

Suddenly he laughed out loud:

"OK."

"Ha~"

He laughed and she laughed too.

The wind of that information was just blown away.

No one blamed anyone.

At this time, Song Yufei, whose face was flushed from drinking, came over and sat next to Lu Yao:
"Huh...what are you talking about?"

Lu Yao glanced at him and said with a smile:

"Let's talk about the script. Are these what you want to invest in, Brother Fei?"

"No, someone else invested here and wanted to get investment. What for? Interested? Do you want to invest with me? I heard that you are a good guy and have a good eye for investment."

Clearly, he knew a lot.

After hearing this, Lu Yao suddenly glanced at Yang Ying next to him.

After thinking about it, I decided to return the favor.

After all, I got a cigar that I really liked.

So he laughed and said:

"Then Brother Fei, if you believe me, you should invest in these two scripts."

"Well……"

Song Yufei took the script puzzled and saw the name on it.

"Lost in Thailand... The Golden Heist... This is the sequel to last year's funny Lost on Journey, right? Have you seen it?"

"I was just watching it. I like both stories. Brother Fei, do you believe me? If you believe me, then invest in it. Especially this script..."

He pointed to Lost in Thailand:
"Pretty good."

"Hahaha, you like it so much? Okay, I invested. Let me also take advantage of your momentum. During the Chinese New Year, I had dinner with Xiaochu and we talked about investment... That Sun Shaoyu you met last time, isn't he also working in investment banking? He praised Xiaochu a lot, and Xiaochu was willing to tell the truth, saying that the big projects she had were all pointed out by you."

Sun Shaoyu?
I have a vague impression of Lu Yao, but it's not deep.

But he knows very well how much money "Lost in Thailand" made.

The box office is over 10 billion.

"Then just invest, Brother Fei. I am most optimistic about these two stories, but I don't know much about film investment. I can only say that the stories are quite interesting, and they are the type that ordinary movie fans like me would like."

"Haha, okay. Then I'll see if our golden finger is accurate."

For a director or screenwriter, it may take a lot of effort to get investment opportunities from the bosses of these film and television investment companies, but for Lu Yao, it seems to be a matter of just a few words.

Yang Ying's mouth twitched when he saw this...

The crew of "Tai Chi" racked their brains to attract investment from this big boss.

In the end, I didn't say a word to this handsome guy.

She had truly seen it.

Soon, Song Yufei was called back to drink again.

After he left, Lu Yao looked at his eggplant waiter:

"Teacher Yang, I suggest you pay attention to this script."

"Hehe, great. Thank you handsome brother Lu Yao, Mr. Lu."

A series of titles came out, seemingly as a joke, but in fact it was giving Lu Yao the right to choose for himself.

But Lu Yao didn't choose, he just smiled and shook his head:
"It's okay. You can keep an eye on it. If you encounter any problems, you can contact me. Thanks for the cigar."

"Well……"

Yang Ying also understood, but couldn't help asking:
"You're really...only nineteen?"

Lu Yao was happy:

"Aren't you only 21?"

“…It’s 20!”

"Ha~"

Lu Yao smiled and nodded, stood up with the cigar and walked towards the bathroom.

This is also a fox.

Even at the age of 20.

Tsk.

As expected. Just like what Mr. Xu said, the entertainment industry is indeed a big melting pot.

Idiot...can't survive in there.

……

After the dinner, You Run dragged me to the second one.

The main reason is that today's dinner is considered a business dinner, which does not meet his standards for entertainment.

When Lu Yao heard this, he immediately shook his head:

"Brother Run, I won't go..."

"..."

You Run was a little speechless, but he didn't refuse. Instead, he suddenly picked up the phone:
"wait."

Lu Yao nodded, thinking about telling Mr. Xu to let Xue Mingyue take his place.

result……

"Hey, Ruochu."

"...???"

He paused and turned his head instinctively.

Then I heard You Run say:

"I took your boyfriend to sing."

On the other end of the phone, Xu Ruochu, who was having dinner with Hu Li, twitched his mouth.

Hu Li's eyes also widened subconsciously.

The two looked at each other, and Xu Ruochu responded:

"Well, don't let him drink. He can't drink much."

"Haha, don't worry, I'm hanging up."

Doodle.

The phone hangs up.

Before Xu Ruochu could speak, Hu Li shook his head speechlessly:

"This You Run...sigh."

"..."

Xu Ruochuxin said, is this what you think in your mind?
At the same time, I felt inexplicably guilty.

But she didn't say much, wiped her mouth with a tissue, and asked:

"Let's go?"

"Let's go to your house. I thought he would come back soon..."

"What are you doing at my house?"

"Wait a while, it's too boring to be alone at home."

As she spoke, she looked at Xu Ruochu suspiciously:
"What? Are you hiding a man at home? Don't you want me to go?"

"..."

Xu Ruochu was speechless at first, then suddenly laughed:

"Ha, sister, I have a boyfriend, don't say anything that will make him unhappy."

"Ah, yes, yes."

Hu Li rolled his eyes:
"I'm a mistress, okay?"

"Hey."

The royal sister chuckled and seemed very happy.

……

"Mr. Lu, are you satisfied with today's cigar?"

In the car, Lu Yao looked at the text message sent by the other party, thought about it, and finally replied:
"Yeah, five-star rating."

"Well...thank you for your patronage. Hehe."

The two consecutive text messages aroused the curiosity of Mr. Xu, who had not drunk too much.

asked:

"Who?"

"Angela Baby."

"Let me take a look?"

Lu Yao handed him the phone. There were only three text messages in total. He glanced at them, then threw the phone into the central control and asked:

"You two keep in touch often?"

"No, this is the first time. What's wrong?"

"I advise you to take it easy."

"How to say?"

"Stay away from these people. They are all very cunning. You have to know that in their eyes, everyone at our table today is worthy of clinging to. Do you understand?"

"Of course. Have you ever seen a celebrity treat ordinary people with favors?"

"That's right."

Mr. Xu nodded:

"That's why I told you to take it easy. If someone takes the initiative to look for you, there must be a purpose."

"I know. Don't worry. I know what's going on."

"Well... actually this Angelababy is not that bad. Do you know why the divorce rate in the entertainment industry is so high?"

"How to say?"

"It's very simple. In their eyes, we are the financial sponsors, right? The Tai Chi crew is trying so hard not only to attract investment, but also to get Fei Ge as a backer. Otherwise, why do they always bring this Angelababy? But I don't think Fei Ge likes her."

“Well, what does that have to do with the divorce rate?”

Lu Yao became interested.

He also wanted to know why celebrities in the entertainment industry get divorced so often.

It seemed that all the famous stars in his impression ended up getting divorced.

"It's very simple. For example, I'm the sponsor and your wife is a star. I like your wife. Will you send her to my bed?"

"..."

Lu Yao's mouth twitched.

Subconsciously, the image of my girlfriend appeared in my mind.

I couldn't help but complain:
"If Sister Li hears this, you'll probably be in trouble."

"..."

Master Xu was also somewhat speechless, and quickly said:
"I'm just giving an analogy. Do you understand? For example... well, Yueyue is your wife, and I'm your sponsor. I ask you to send her to my bed, or I tell her directly that if she follows me, I'll invest in her movies and support her. If she doesn't follow me, I'll ban her and prevent her from getting any roles. What would you do?"

"Uh……"

Lu Yao was stunned by the question.

"Just tell me, can you bear it? Even if you can bear it, Yueyue had difficulty walking home in the morning. How would you feel when you see her?"

"..."

"What if you meet a guy who takes all the girls and makes you and Yueyue lie there? Let alone Yueyue, how will you face yourself?"

"Hiss~~~~"

Lu Yao took a breath of cold air.

"So... this is why the divorce rate is so high?"

"Ah."

Mr. Xu nodded:

"Why do you think so many sponsors like to play with celebrities? Think about it, for example, you are a big star, there are so many people who like you, regard you as an idol, and regard you as a goddess. If I sleep with you, wouldn't it be the same as cheating on all your fans?"

"...Brother, your metaphor is a bit strange."

"That's what I mean. Since ancient times, those princes and nobles have kept actors, or some warlords have taken opera singers as concubines. In fact, there are more or less reasons in this regard. So there is a rule in my family that actors are not allowed to enter the house..."

"...Don't you play music too?"

"I'm not an actor. I'm playing music, not entering the entertainment industry. You have to make the distinction."

"Ok."

Seeing Lu Yao nod, Master Xu shrugged:

"So that's why I told you to stay away from them... But luckily, I'm a big money sponsor. Hehehe..."

"Young Master Xu is awesome!"

"Hahaha……"

Mr. Xu laughed so happily.

Taking advantage of this mood, he was drunk by a cute and pure girl.

Lu Yao was helpless. He ignored the girl in his arms who was looking at him with seductive eyes and dialed Xue Mingyue's number.

When Xue Mingyue came, he seemed to be used to it.

Finally, he and the girl helped Mr. Xu get off the elevator and go to the room.

As for what happened next, Lu Yao didn't care.

Yueyue is very reliable, this is the truth.

He was reassured.

It was almost 12 o'clock when he returned home, smelling of perfume.

Hu Li hasn't gone to bed yet and is making a phone call at the bedside.

After seeing Lu Yao, he pointed to the bathroom and said:
"Just throw the clothes into the washing machine."

"Ah."

Lu Yao responded, and then she continued:
"Lu Yao is back... Well, he was called out by his friends to go out and play... Ha, forget it. He can't drink much, he gets drunk after just one glass, so don't force him to drink."

He guessed it should be Luo Xuewei.

When I came out of the shower, Hu Li didn't hang up yet, but said:

"Okay, he's done showering, we're getting ready for bed, hurry back and I'll introduce him to you... Hehe, okay, I'm hanging up now."

After hanging up the phone, she took the initiative to explain:
"She'll be back next Wednesday. Let's have dinner together and I'll take you to meet her."

"it is good."

Lu Yao responded, and then Hu Li immediately noticed something was wrong:
"Where are your glasses?"

"In the car, what are you doing?"

“…Put it on!”

"…I'm sleeping, why would I wear it?"

"Oh, go get it, quickly!"

Lu Yao came downstairs wrapped in a thick down jacket, with a speechless look on his face.

I thought to myself that a pair of broken glasses has become a popular commodity.

After wearing it upstairs, the royal sister's eyes immediately lit up.

At the same time, a serious warning was given:
"I'm warning you, you are not allowed to wear glasses outside, do you hear me?... I won't let you wear them, you are not allowed to wear them!"

Lu Yao nodded:
"Okay...but can you please not take off my clothes when you say this?"

"Oh, shut up! From now on, don't say a word and let me fantasize."

"..."

Hearing this, he rolled his eyes speechlessly.

But he did keep his mouth shut.

The only thing in the room was the silly smile from the royal sister:
“Hehehe…handsome guy…good brother…you’re so handsome…hehehe…do you know how much effort I put into getting you? Hehehehe…oh, don’t roll your eyes, just have a cold face…yes, don’t have any expression, just…just pretend you’ve been drugged and can’t move. Yes, yes, that’s the look in your eyes, hehehe…I’ll do it myself!”

Tsk.

Lu Yao, with pursed lips and a sullen face, looked at the royal sister who looked like a nymphomaniac, and thought to himself, you really know how to have fun.
