these years

In order to show his sincerity, Jin Rulin arranged for Wang Lijun to move out of his original residence halfway through filming, and brought Qiao Weidong to live in the staff dormitory of Jinqiu Film Company.It is said to be a dormitory, but there are two people in one room, and the living conditions are much better than those on Carrie Coffee Street.It is said that after he moved out, Qiu Yuanzheng became speculative, and quickly released the word, saying that this house is favored by the God of Lao Lang[1], and those who live in this house will fly to the branches like Wang Lijun and star in blockbuster movies.Therefore, even if he doubled the rent, there are still countless kalimers begging him to sublet the house.

Since being assigned to Group B for filming, Wang Lijun didn't have many scenes, and was lazy occasionally, instead of going to work, he wasted a few days in the staff dormitory.On this day, Jin Rulin finally called him and asked him to go to the top of the mountain quickly.

Wang Lijun stared at the microphone, confused. He frowned and asked, "The top of the mountain, what mountain is it?"

The teacher's nurse was knitting a sweater with her fingers flying, without raising her head, she said, "What mountain? There is only one mountain in Hong Kong, and it is Taiping Mountain."

Victoria Peak.Leshanmeidao.

This gate is heavy and splendid, hidden in the tree-lined mountain road.Wang Lijun knocked on the door, Qiao Weidong followed him, and a Portuguese maid opened it from the inside. She glanced at them, lowered her eyes, and said she wanted to go back to report to the master, so they had to wait.There were bronze cherubs cast on the gate. Qiao Weidong waited for boredom and counted them, 32 in total.

The door opened again, and the maid invited the two of them in, walked through the garden, passed the swimming pool, and the second servant pushed open another door, inside the door, there were several people waiting for them.

As soon as Wang Lijun entered the door, he attracted everyone's attention. A person at the table laughed and said, just these two children?

Jin Rulin was sitting by the tea table, with a cigarette in his hand, he raised it up and pointed, what do you mean?What people can do, you can't do in your life.After finishing this sentence, he asked the person opposite the coffee table, Master Cao, are you right?

The man was an old man with white beard.The old man slapped his thigh and said with a smile: "I have said it before. The house I showed you was built in the middle of the mountain with water behind it. It is called "Xinshan Yixiang". If you understand it, the whole house is a "double-star robbery" situation. If you live here, it's hard not to get rich.However, in this double star pattern, the double star must be allowed to come to town, otherwise it is afraid that it will not be able to hold back, and there will be money to be made, but no life to enjoy. "

The old man nodded to Wang Lijun and said, "According to what you said, one of them is beautiful and can be enjoyed on the set; the other is brave and saved your life. After careful calculation, they are double stars. One Greedy wolf, one seven kills, with their lives at stake, you can make money with peace of mind."

The person at the table asked: "Hey, the master I invited before said that the three stars of killing the wolf, the seven killings, the breaking the army, and the greedy wolf must appear at the same time, there are only two people, two lack one, can it do it. "

Someone next to him secretly kicked him, the man was embarrassed and quickly stopped talking.

The old man waved his hand, saying it doesn't matter, and then said: "Last night, I calculated that the overall situation of killing and breaking the wolf has been completed. I am afraid that the star of breaking the army has already appeared beside Boss Jin, but I haven't seen it yet."

Jin Rulin clapped his hands and poured himself another cup of tea, trembling with joy.

Everyone also fake smiles.

Amidst the harmonious laughter, the old man suddenly said again: "Xiao Wang, you should change your name."

Jin Rulin hurriedly asked: "Master, do you think his name is not worthy of this game?"

The old man laughed: "No! It's too rustic. If you want someone to join the entertainment circle, can you still have such a silly name?"

There was a second of silence, and the audience roared with laughter.Wang Lijun also laughed, but he felt uncomfortable.He thought to himself, when I was born, there was a wave of veterans. The children born in Forty-Nine City in those few years were either soldiers or soldiers. If the photos on the gun fell off, they could kill ten Weidong Weihongs. There is also a "Li", why do you dislike me?

The old man said again: "Everyone likes to bet on horses. I bet casually, but I ended up buying a black horse. I don't know how I feel?"

All the people in the seat applauded one after another.

He turned to Wang Lijun, indicating that the following words were addressed to him: "The word 'Li' means black horse in the ancient Chinese. You can change your name to Wang Lijun from now on. You can keep half of your parents' wishes. You say right?"

Jin Rulin began to applaud, praising how ingenious the name was. Amid the applause, Wang Lijun was forced to accept the name, but he couldn't accept it for a while.

At this time, another Portuguese maid came hurriedly and reported to Jin Rulin that the afternoon tea had been prepared in the garden, and all the masters are invited to have some tea.

Jin Rulin invited Master Cao to go, but the latter declined, saying: "I'm a mainlander, I can't eat these, you go."

Several people around laughed and walked towards the garden one after another. They cupped their hands to congratulate Jin Rulin, praising him for his good feng shui residence and the double-star town house. They believed that he would be able to unseat Jin Xiangyan and become the richest man in the near future.

Qiao Weidong stopped still, Master Cao said, what are you doing in a daze, you go too.

Qiao Weidong pointed at Wang Lijun and said, then my brother——

Master Cao said, lend it to your brother and return it later.

Qiao Weidong just left.

A group of people walked into the garden, drinking tea and chatting together, leaving Qiao Weidong aside.

One person asked: "Hey, Xiao Wang, when did you see it? Didn't you want to recommend a kid from Guangdong at the beginning? I also showed everyone the photos. I can tell you that you are doing two things. The other is when? superior?"

Jin Rulin said: "Damn it, this role was originally for that kid from Guangdong—but I thought about it, and it's irrational to throw the trump card as soon as I make a move. The boss has a bad hand, how can a kid suffer this crime. I I just thought, find a thick-skinned one for him to accept, and when the situation with the boss and I stabilizes, the next movie will be held, and then the right owner will be presented. Understand, true and false He Shibi, what we are playing is a tactic of suspicion—— —” Holding the cup in his hand, he turned it around, his complacency was beyond words.

Another person said: "Then what the master said about killing the wolf, you also believe it."

Jin Rulin said: "Why don't you believe it! We Chaoshan people, who doesn't believe this? This is called super science, beyond science, ah, science can't explain it, the master can explain it—" He waved his hand, "I believe anything, Xiao Wang I'm set."

Another person said: "Believe it! So many officials and nobles believe it, which means it makes sense. Why don't we believe it? First fate, second luck, and third feng shui. You are born with a good life, and the feng shui shown by the master is good. Now that luck is here, who is it?" I can't stop it either."

Several people clinked glasses again quickly, and laughed for a while.Someone suddenly asked: "I heard people say, Mr. Jin, have you been running to the set twice in the last three days to supervise the work?"

Jin Rulin took a sip of tea and sighed, "Boss supervisor, I went to meet Chang Miaotong, but you'll come to my side instead, don't come and go frequently, let's keep each other informed."

The man asked: "That guy turned against Jin Xiangyan, an unfaithful and unfilial thing, it will be a thunder wherever it is placed."

Jin Rulin was thoughtful.

Another person asked: "Then if you still dare to use it, you are not afraid that one day he will sell you too?"

Jin Rulin stopped laughing, he swallowed his tea, put the cup on the table, and sighed.

"Sell as soon as you sell. In business, it's just about selling. Either you sell me, or I sell him. Wealth and wealth are in danger."

Qiao Weidong didn't listen to their chat, so he missed a lot of information.He just stood among the flowers and grass, plucked off a leaf, and folded it back and forth in his hands.Suddenly he saw a safflower, which is a rare and rare species unique to southern China. He had never seen it before, so he wanted to take out his camera to take a picture.But when he touched his chest, he remembered that he didn't bring a camera with him. Qiao Weidong sighed and thought, this group of people is boring enough if they don't look at such beautiful flowers and only talk about the world.

In the house, Master Cao stood by the window, beckoning Wang Lijun to come over.

Wang Lijun also walked to the window, Master Cao was shorter than him, and when he turned to look at him, although he was looking up, there was some pity in his eyes.

Wang Lijun didn't know what to say, Master Cao just pointed at his nose with a finger, shook his head and said, you boy, this life is hard.

Before Wang Lijun answered, he picked up again, but that's nothing, you can overcome it, but you must remember that if you want to have a smooth future, you have to protect this face well, without any scars, once you lose your appearance, you His life was broken.

Wang Lijun stretched out his hand to caress his face. In fact, what the master said before, such as Feng Shui or name change, he just took it as fart, because the successors of socialism do not practice feudal superstition.But this sentence really makes sense.Since he was born, he has been honored because of this face, and he has been disgraced because of this face. There are many lovers when he is beautiful, but dogs ignore him when he is ugly. Doesn't this explain the importance of this face?

After pondering for a while, he murmured, Master, I understand.

Satisfied, Master Cao withdrew his hand and put it behind his back.

Wang Lijun asked again, Master, look at my younger brother, is there anything you need to pay attention to about his face?

Master Cao grinned, and he said, you boy, "outsiders don't read physiognomy" [1], haven't you heard of it!

After finishing speaking, Master Cao looked out the window, and Wang Lijun followed suit.The scenery on Taiping Mountain is unique. Outside the window is the harbor surrounded by mountains, with fishing boats dotted around, the blue sea below, and the blue sky above.

They watched the sea together, and later Master Cao died for him.

Master Cao's father died, which was not bought by Jin Rulin with a lot of money.Wang Lijun always remembered that assertion.Even many years later, when he was the richest and most powerful, whenever he thought of that assertion, he would suddenly shed tears.

That statement goes like this.

"This life is self-sustaining and self-sustaining. It takes a lot of hard work. Six relatives are always vain, and brothers are like painting cakes. There are few people who are enthusiastic about helping each other, and many who are cold-eyed. Unintentionally meeting a noble person, bursting into flames into the cold ashes. Stop loving your hometown and live happily, and you will be your home deep in your favor.”
