Chapter 70
Li Tang wondered if Baldy Xu was looking at his own pocket to borrow money. The last time he bought a house in the capital, he had about 10 yuan left. Recently, the expenses have been a bit higher. Fortunately, he has the supplementary salary of "Little Li Feidao".I went to the bank and transferred 2 yuan to Xu Guangtou, leaving [-] yuan in the account.

At the beginning, Li Tang didn't intend to ask Baldy Xu for interest. Although he lived in the United States in his previous life and was indifferent to people, as time went by, he gradually followed the local customs.

After all, Xu Guangtou is a senior brother and a colleague, and he often drinks flowers and wine together when he has nothing to do. The friendship is here, so how can he charge interest.

But Xu Guangtou insisted very much. In his words, as long as money is involved, it is a big deal. Brothers must settle accounts clearly, and they must be clear, otherwise it will be difficult to be friends.

So not only did I indicate the amount of interest and the date of repayment on the IOU, but I also signed and pressed my fingerprints at the bottom.

Xu Guangtou was busy building his love nest like a courting male bird, while Li Tang received a package from the capital one afternoon when he was not practicing sword.

When I opened the package, it was a script with four characters of "Broad Daylight".In addition to the script, there is also a letter written by Senior Lu.

"Tsk!"

Opening the letter and seeing the good words on the paper, Li Tang felt pleasing to the eye.

His handwriting is not good, and a person who is not good at learning usually has poor handwriting, so he is particularly envious of those who can write well.And people who are good at drawing usually have no bad writing skills.

As the so-called calligrapher and painter are both calligraphers and painters.

Lu Xuechang's pen writing is undoubtedly very beautiful. Note that he did not use cheap and convenient fountain pens, but real pens, which in itself is a kind of respect for the recipient.

In the letter, Senior Lu reviewed the last meeting and explained the topics discussed that day. Finally, he solemnly invited Li Tang to play the leading role in his new film "Bright Day" with the script attached.

Lu Xuechang is a fastidious person, and he is also known as a man of discipline. When his classmates were winning awards abroad, he once publicly stated: "I don't make banned films, and I will never do it."

Because he feels that if he lives in today's society, he must abide by the rules of this society.He also often puts a sentence on his lips: "The reason why this world is so bad is because there are too many people who don't follow the rules."

At the last gathering, he had talked about the new film project of "Broad Daylight", and invited his ex-girlfriend Ma Xiaoqin to play the leading role. He just said that it was based on a real case and did not go into depth.

It wasn't until Li Tang read the script that it dawned on him that the question of whether he could be rescued when he saw others commit violence at the dinner table was the story that happened in the script.

The topic of discussion that time was very likely to be an interview, or maybe he was shortlisted for the Huabiao Award this time, which made Senior Lu make up his mind to invite him to play the leading role.

The script is quite thick, almost 100 pages long, and it is a very complete script.The whole story can be summed up roughly as follows: Lei Haiyang, a car mechanic, shared a truck with a girl who was looking for a job in Beijing on the way to work. He didn't want to witness the scene of two drivers raping the girl on the way, but he didn't stop it because of his cowardice. Feeling guilty, she has been looking for the girl and helping the police catch the criminal.

Obviously this is a story about spiritual growth and redemption, which has the flavor of European and American movies."Detachment", "Desert Flower", "When Happiness Knocks at the Door", "Green Book" and so on that Li Tang read in his previous life all belong to this type.

Since Director Lu is a fastidious person, Li Tang felt that he should also be more serious, such as writing a letter by hand as a reply, but when he saw the bad words he wrote, he really couldn't take it out, so he decided to forget it. When I go to the rehearsal in Beijing next week, I will reply to Director Lu in person.

The content of the reply is of course that he likes this story very much and is very willing to play the role of Lei Haiyang.He definitely didn't mention the [-] yuan salary that Director Lu proposed in the letter.

……

On April [-]th, Li Tang walked out of the Capital Airport with his luggage, and Naian was already waiting outside.It was still the red Nissan Bluebird, and this hot-tempered woman drove the car from Shanghai to the capital again.In her words, driving is free, and she likes the feeling of freedom.

Fortunately, after the 97 financial turmoil, the country increased investment in infrastructure construction, and most of the highways between Beijing and Shanghai have been opened to traffic.After the expressway is fully connected, it may only take one day to drive from Shanghai to Beijing.Of course, the high-speed rail will be faster in the future, but it still needs to wait more than ten years.

"How is your sword practice?" Naian asked as soon as they met.

Li Tang said to himself: "Basically there is no problem."

"I asked someone to play a piece of classical silk and bamboo music. In the past two days, you should hurry up and practice again. During the rehearsal the day after tomorrow, let them have a good experience."

Recently, Naian put all her efforts to let Li Tang show off at the Huabiao Awards Ceremony, because she heard that Zhang Yimou is said to be preparing a big-budget martial arts movie.In addition, following the four great classics, CCTV is preparing to remake Jin Yong's martial arts drama. The current person in charge is her best friend's boyfriend. The reliable news is that CCTV has sent someone to Hong Kong to discuss copyright matters with Mr. Jin Yong. If all goes well, there will be a May start filming.

If the news on Zhang Yimou's side is not quite accurate, then CCTV's side is the real deal.With the four famous masterpieces in front, Jin Yong's martial arts dramas will definitely be popular. This kind of opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Moreover, these two bigwigs will both attend the Huabiao Awards ceremony. Zhang Yimou was shortlisted for the Outstanding Feature Film Award and Best Director Award of this year's Huabiao Awards because of his film "No One Less", and her best friend's The boyfriend will be present as an award presenter.

It is very convenient to get to Paoju Hutong from the airport. The airport expressway goes all the way to the end, and you can walk a few hundred meters along Andingmen East Street and turn to Dongzhimen North Street.

The original simple door has already been renovated, Li Tang took the key to open the door, and his eyes suddenly lit up, the whole yard has completely changed, entering the door is a newly built screen wall, in the middle are vines, gourds, and dolls. Multi-sun brick carving pattern.Don't ask, it must be my father's idea.

Turning around the screen wall, all the roofs look like they have been rebuilt and are shiny.The original Youshouchao Gallery is wrapped with Chinese-style carved wooden glass windows.

The two rooms on the east side have been transformed into kitchen and dining room; the rooms on the right side are used as tea room, guest room and bathroom; the three main rooms are used as living room, master bedroom and study room because of their spaciousness and depth. bathroom.

All room furniture, electrical appliances, bedding, and daily necessities are all available, and you can check in with your bags in the true sense.

"Wow, Li Tang, I really underestimated you, this yard is really nice!"

Naian visited around and was very surprised.

The entire courtyard covers an area of ​​more than 200 and nearly 35 square meters. Except that there is no inverted room, it is basically a relatively complete set of one-entry courtyard.Only Li Tang knew that after all these renovations, his father spent a total of 90 yuan, plus the money for buying a house, the total cost was already more than 100 yuan, which is less than [-] million yuan.

"It was all built with the help of my dad. He said that there is such a house in the capital that can be passed down to the family in the future."

"Of course!"

Naian actually agreed very much, and said: "It's better to be in the yard of Erjin, it will be more perfect."

"No, I can't afford Erjin's yard, and it's hard to find now." Li Tang said hastily.

Nai'an nodded, and said regretfully, "I didn't understand it at the beginning, and I always thought that the building was good. If I didn't buy the house in the Asian Games Village, according to the market at that time, it would be more than enough to buy such a yard."

She also particularly likes the jujube tree in the yard.

This jujube tree is quite old. When Li Tang came to see the house for the first time, he didn’t pay much attention to it because it had lost all its leaves in winter. Now it is already lush and lush, and the shade of the tree covers most of the yard.It must be a wonderful thing to enjoy the coolness and drink tea under the tree in summer.

The only thing Li Tang was not sure about was whether there would be a kind of thorny caterpillar in the jujube trees in the capital in summer.Such a jujube tree is also planted in the yards of many families in the countryside of Shanghai, which can not only provide shade in summer but also produce fruit.But it is easy to grow a kind of caterpillar commonly known as "thorny hair" on jujube trees. When stung by this caterpillar, it is painful and itchy, with a large area of ​​redness and swelling, and a rash will appear on the sensitive body.

He was hit.
