global actor

"Thank you for sending me back. Mr. Lu, where do you live? Is it far from here? You can drive the car first. I'm not in a hurry. If you need it, just pick a time and return it to me."

After coming out of the cinema, there was light snow in the sky. The windshield wipers were turned on at the slowest setting, cleaning the windshield that was slightly fogged due to the large temperature difference. After the car was turned off, two yellow lights came on.

, illuminated the small space in the car, the two looked at each other, she looked into Lu Ze's eyes, and said this without any reluctance.

The two chatted pretty well all the way, and they found some familiarity with each other. It was not awkward to get along with each other. After watching the movie, she asked Lu Ze to drive her back to her home because she did not dare to drive in the snow.

's residence.

"Ding ding, ding, ding, don't bother with the car. I live not far from here. Sorry, let me answer the phone first. Hello? Director Liu, long time no see."

I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but Lu Ze and Gao Peiling had just watched Liu Ying’s new Lunar New Year movie. The director who should have lost contact with Lu Ze unexpectedly contacted Lu Ze, which surprised him a little.

.

"Aze, what are you doing? How have you been resting these past few months?"

"Fortunately, I eat enough to sleep every day, sleep enough to eat, and don't have to worry about anything. Yesterday I told you that I had gained another five pounds. It's all good. Why?"

"Have you seen my new movie? The results are good, very ideal, but the filming of this movie has already been completed at the end of September and has been postponed until the Chinese New Year. I recently picked up a script. It is very good. I feel itchy after watching it.

, I just lack an assistant director. If you think you’ve had enough rest, then come back to work.”

Everyone knows that Lu Ze is having a hard time now. Everyone in the industry knows this well, but Liu Ying is the first one who is really willing to give Lu Ze a hand. Yes, it is more difficult for Lu Ze to act now, but

It's not impossible to work behind the scenes and do some odd jobs. At least Lu Ze can have a considerable source of income.

Liu Ying's call was completely out of good intentions, and Lu Ze understood it, but it was still a bit difficult for Lu Ze to ask him to return to the crew and not film, and to be an assistant director who might only need to train actors.

After all, when he was filming before, he was just an engineer on the crew. He would shoot whatever the director told him. He rarely expressed his opinions. To put it bluntly, the job of assistant director was slightly beyond his ability. In addition, he had spent so many years

On the crew, whenever the assistant director has an idea to discuss with the director, no one is emotionless, and there will definitely be arguments.

You let Lu Ze join the crew without giving any suggestions. He felt uncomfortable and only trained the actors. Now it is estimated that those actors will not be convinced by him, and they will not be happy to stay on the crew anyway. After thinking about it, I might as well forget it.

"I accept Director Liu's kindness. I just watched the film you made. It is indeed very good. I think there will be no problem in controlling the crew with you. I may be a bit redundant."

The phone would inevitably have some sound leakage. Secondly, it was quiet in the car. She could clearly hear what the person on the other end of the phone said. She did not look directly at Lu Ze, but just looked at Lu Ze's eyes in the rearview mirror. These "

"Window" does not show decadence, but a kind of indifference after thinking. However, it will definitely not be an easy decision for her to give up this matter after comparing her feelings.

An emotion gradually spread in my heart, it wasn't pity or sympathy, let's just say I felt distressed. The relationship between the two of them had not reached that level yet.

In short, this kind of emotion is complicated but straightforward. After all, men with stories are always more attractive than men with smooth sailing.

Lu Ze’s story is not a legend, but it is not that simple. If Lu Ze were to tell those unrecorded stories recorded on the Internet, he would probably not be able to tell them all in three days and three nights. He is not a man shrouded in fog.

, instead, he exposed himself to the outside world, as if telling people, my story is here, if you want to understand it, come here and listen to me slowly.

Liu Ying's help was rejected by Lu Ze, saying that whether Lu Ze was arrogant or ignorant of praise, Gao Peiling had no right to judge these things, but she believed from the bottom of her heart that this man must have been here all these years.

It will be very hard.

If we really had to use one word to describe her current inner emotions, perhaps we could call her overflowing maternal love for this man who was four years older than her.

She didn't listen to the conversation on the phone after that. She just used the index finger of her right hand to gently roll up her hair, pulled it twice with a little force, and then let go, over and over again, but her eyes stayed on him in the rearview mirror.

"I'm sorry, I just answered the phone and I don't need the car. You're too polite. Come on, I'll take you to the unit, and then I'll leave. The car will be parked here?"

"Huh? Oh, okay"

The two unbuckled their seat belts, and Lu Ze handed her the key again, and walked side by side with her into one of Lu Hua's most upscale residences so far, and walked to the door of the unit. Lu Ze said goodbye and prepared to leave.

"Why don't you go up and sit down? It's so cold. Thank you for sending me back. Can you come in and have a cup of tea?"

Lu Ze glanced at her and saw that her face was slightly red. He didn't know if it was because of the cold. But Lu Ze was sure that what she said about going up to have a cup of tea was just a literal meaning, so he had no intention of going up. Of course, if it wasn't just a literal meaning,

Meaning, then he can't go up even more.

"There's no need to drink tea. It's already very late. I have to leave. You can go upstairs. Goodbye."

"Wait a minute! Bring a scarf. At least it can protect you from the wind and cold. Take it with you. Thank you for today, Mr. Lu."

Holding the scarf that she just took off from her neck and still retaining the warmth, Lu Ze grinned lightly and nodded to her. When he saw her entering the lobby, he turned around and left.

Lu Ze just wanted to understand why she went to the mall just now to buy this black scarf, which was obviously a men's style. In fact, she had already thought about what would happen after the movie, so she prepared this scarf for Lu Ze in advance to withstand the wind and cold.

Maybe this is her little cleverness.

Following the children who were about to set off firecrackers out of the community, Lu Ze lit a cigarette. When he exhaled, he couldn't tell whether it was smoke or the mist that condensed when he breathed.

He was under the dim light, on this snowy night, wearing a thick black scarf, holding a cigarette butt in one hand, and putting it in the pocket of his down jacket. Occasionally, like a child, he would clean up when people were snowing.

A step on a good snow bank leaves its mark on the road that already has a thin layer of snow.

Until I met a new energy shared car that was only popularized in Lu Hua last year. I scanned the code to unlock it, sat in the driver's seat, fastened my seat belt, lowered the window, flicked the cigarette ashes, started the car, and drove slowly towards the distance.

go.

"Ding dong"

I didn't open it to look at it for the first time, until I stopped at a red light, took out my phone from my pocket and checked the text message from Gao Peiling.

"Mr. Lu, can we continue to contact you?"

I rubbed my thumb on the phone screen twice, scratching out the fingerprints left on the screen under the light. I thought for a while and only replied with one word.

"good."

He turned off his cell phone and threw it in front of the windshield. He looked at the red light that was counting down the seconds, rubbed his stubbled chin with his fingers, sighed, and when the light turned green, headed to the hotel he had just booked.

Of course, dating is not the main theme of starting a new life, finding a new source of income is, so four days later, on the eighth day of the first lunar month, Lu Ze signed a one-year house rental contract with the owner of a commercial house.

Fortunately, the previous tenant of this house used this 70-square-meter house to open a coffee shop. In the end, due to the sluggish business, he had no choice but to cash out. Thinking according to Lu Ze's thinking, in a large residential area

It’s no wonder that the business of a coffee shop is so good, but it may also have a lot to do with the taste of the coffee.

But this also worked for Lu Ze. Basically, the room does not need to be modified. He only needs to paint the white walls with dark blue latex paint, buy some refrigerators and wooden seats, and it is all done. It is very simple, just to save money.

, you have to do the work of applying latex paint yourself.

"Brother, no, no, no, my hands are sore. Please help, I can't lift anymore."

Hearing Lu Nan's call, Lu Ze hurried over, fearing that she would scratch the wall he had worked so hard to paint. He took the roller and dipped paint into the latex paint bucket.

Lu Nan was still on vacation, and it happened that the place had just been painted. It was very simple, so Lu Ze asked his sister to work as a laborer without any salary.

Lu Ze was not surprised that Lu Nan didn't feel tired at all when he was flying up and down the wall when he was naughty, but he had diarrhea as soon as he started working and could not reach a height of one meter in a long time.

"Brother, the paint fell off my head, ah!!! It's stuck on my hair, can this thing be washed off? I didn't realize until it was dry, what should I do?"

"It should be ok. If you can't wash it off, just cut your hair. It'll be fine."

"I"

Lu Nan glared at his brother and swallowed the curse words, otherwise this older brother who had never practiced Taekwondo would probably kick out two of his teeth with a whirlwind kick.

He could only pretend that he didn't hear anything, and shook his hands as if they were boneless. He walked to the mirror left by the owner of the cafe, tore open the newspaper stuck on it, and pulled at his hair that had been dyed blue.

"Is the boss here? You ordered the plaque, right? You are Lu Lulu."

Lu Ze's reputation is greater in Lu Hua than anywhere else. From an eighty-year-old lady to a child in kindergarten, it is nothing new to recognize Lu Ze. For the elder brother who made the plaque to recognize him,

Lu Ze was not surprised either.

"Yes, brother, come in, sit down and smoke a cigarette? Take a break, take a break."

"Brother, have you made the plaque? Let me see if it looks good."

"Come back! The boss is still here, why can't you wait any longer? Sit down and say goodbye. Go to the supermarket next door to buy two bottles of water and a pack of cigarettes."

Hearing Lu Ze's scolding, Lu Nan didn't do anything. On the contrary, she was so frightened by the elder brother who installed the plaque that she almost swallowed her cigarette butts. She quickly waved her hands and smiled nervously, which was not a good look.

"It doesn't matter. My apprentice is cleaning it up outside. Let's go and see it. It's okay. If you're not satisfied with anything, I'll take it back and change it. I'll bring it back to you tomorrow."

Lu Ze really didn't expect the elder brother to be so polite. The two kept chatting, but Lu Nan controlled his desire to take a look first, and listened to Lu Ze's words and bought something back.

Maybe he was nervous. After his eldest brother finished smoking, he started to work no matter what. Lu Ze couldn't stop him, so he could only help hold the ladder and watch the plaque fixed right above the door little by little. About three hours later

, was considered completely finished, and then gently pulled open the cloth covering the plaque.

Lu Nan watched as the words on the plaque were revealed little by little, and his mouth opened wider and wider. He turned to look at Lu Ze, who looked satisfied, and pointed at the plaque again.

"Brother, do you have a good name?"

"Really? I think it's good. It's quite approachable."

"Uh-huh-huh."

Seeing that Lu Ze was so satisfied, Lu Nan didn't say much. He just looked at the six bright characters "Brother Lu's Beer House" on the plaque and showed a stiff smile.
