The Wind of China Entertainment 2005

Chapter 493 Chiang Mai
Night, Hengdian, Lao Song BBQ.

Lao Song BBQ is an authentic Northeastern barbecue restaurant that is visited by almost all the celebrities who have filmed in Hengdian.

Lao Song is from Heilongjiang. He was laid off in 2004 and came to Hengdian to sell barbecue. At the worst time, he only earned two yuan a day.

One year, the crew of "Jin Maoxiang" where Yu Rongguang and Li Xiaoran worked often came to support the barbecue restaurant, and the business began to improve.

No matter who comes to the restaurant to eat barbecue, he will greet them warmly.

Then they would find an opportunity to take a group photo, ask for an autograph, and hang it on the wall, which also attracted many fans of the stars to come and consume.

There was a private room upstairs, and on the night Lu Yuan arrived in Hengdian, he was invited by Hu Qian to have dinner together.

Liu Shishi and Tang Yan gathered together, drinking beverages, occasionally glancing to the other side and whispering to each other.

Lu Yuan, Hu Can and other male compatriots only put one bottle of beer on the table and controlled the amount, after all, they had a scene to shoot tomorrow.

Several people chatted about everything and talked about their recent situation.

Hu Jian, wearing a white patchwork shirt by Rei Kawakubo, burped and asked, "Flying to Thailand tomorrow?"

"Yes." Lu Yuan chewed the mutton skewers and said, "We will leave from Xiaoshan Airport tomorrow morning. Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang arrived the day before yesterday."

"Then we have to go see the shemales."

"Yes."

"Thailand is such a weird country, how come there are so many ladyboys?"

"To make money. Thailand has a prosperous tourism industry, and tourists from all over the world come to see ladyboys."

Lu Yuan glanced at him and said, "Why, are you so curious? I'll send you some photos later."

"No, no." Hu Qian waved his hand and said, "But to be honest, some transvestites are more beautiful than real women."

"Yeah."

Speaking of this, Lin Gengxin also became interested.

“That’s a special case.”

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "There are three types of ladyboys in Thailand. One type looks like a girl. It's the simplest and doesn't require any suffering. All they have to do is change their behavior and wear girls' clothes.

As for her appearance, it's pretty much like Lao Hu in women's clothing, with yellow curly hair, red lips, a long white skirt, and two big pears stuffed in her chest. Well, forget it, you can use your imagination."

He felt a little nauseous after describing it.

Hu Chuan saw everyone staring at him with strange looks, and said in resistance: "Fuck, stop imagining this."

Lu Yuan took a sip of beer to calm himself and continued.

"The second type has no advantages in appearance and no money for surgery, so they can only take estrogen for a long time to make their female characteristics more obvious. This type accounts for a relatively high proportion in Thailand. They look like... well, Wang Baoqiang with two buns on his head."

"Ugh, can't you find someone else?"

"No."

Lu Yuan put down the stick in his hand and said, "The third type is what you just mentioned. Through surgery, the baby will be the same as a woman inside and out, except that it cannot get pregnant."

"How do you know it so clearly?" Hu Chuan asked suspiciously.

"According to Xu Zheng, he has been to Thailand several times."

Liu Shishi trotted over and put a half-bitten piece of stinky tofu into her boyfriend's mouth.

She stood by and listened for a while, then secretly took a sip of her boyfriend's beer. As she turned around, she said, "Isn't it a bit bad to call them transvestites?"

Hu Chuan was quite disgusted when he saw the two of them openly showing off their affection.

"Hasn't this always been the name in our country? What else is it called?"

Miss Liu raised her head, thought about it, and said she didn't know.

Lu Yuan swallowed the stinky tofu, licked his lips twice, and talked nonsense in a serious manner.

“The first two can be called organic women!”

"Pfft, hahaha."

Lin Gengxin, who was standing by, understood immediately and almost spit out the wine in his mouth.

Absolutely!

Liu Shishi was a little slow to react, and she lay on his shoulder and laughed so hard that she was shaking.

Lu Yuan's facial expression did not change much. The reason he responded in this way was because he was trying to find Gao Yuan's state and prepare for the next scene.

This role is actually not easy to play.

Wang Baoqiang and Xu Zheng are both humorous people, and because of "Lost on Journey", they unexpectedly created sparks.

One is a silly, honest, simple, bad-mouthed, and 2B young man who speaks without thinking, and the other is an urban business elite with a face full of materialism.

One is strong while the other is weak; one is sincere while the other is hypocritical; the two form a sharp contrast. When fans see these two become a pair, they can't help but smile with joy.

At this time, as a third party, if he rashly joins in, 1+2 may not always equal 3.

If you want to stand out and not be obtrusive in your insertion, you must find the entry point and at the same time identify your own characteristics.

The character of Gao Yuan is quite colorful. He is a villain who is always peeping and follows Xu Lang closely for the authorization letter.

In fact, his main function is to set off the other two, to put pressure on Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang, and he is the driving force of the whole story.

It’s a pity that the whole room is full of idol fans who don’t understand or see it at all.

"Snapped!"

He patted his girlfriend's eager hand and said, "If you want to drink beer, open one yourself. No one is stopping you."

"Humph!"

Liu Shishi pouted, shook her ponytail, and ran away.

"How does the producer feel?" Lu Yuan rubbed his waist. It was quite painful from the pinch. He would deal with it more severely in the evening.

"In one word, tired!"

Hu Quan sighed: "I don't think I'm really suitable for doing more than two things at the same time. Actors are sleep-deprived, and the intensity of work on the set is particularly high.

The pressure on producers is huge, and they have to set an example in everything. I can’t enjoy any of the privileges that actors enjoyed before.”

"For example, if I'm tired today and haven't finished filming, I can't ask the crew to reschedule. For example, if I've filmed for 10 or 12 hours, I used to be able to leave once I was done with the work, but this time I have to carry on. When I take a break on the set, I have to observe and take care of everyone's work status."

He rambled on for a while and concluded, "Producing is not a job for humans. I really admire you. You direct and act in the film yourself, and you have to manage so many people. Just thinking about it makes me tired."

"Are you tired? I feel fine."

"Is it true?" Hu Chuan didn't believe it.

Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked at him suspiciously for a moment: "Old Hu, is it possible that you are too old?"

"Fuck, you're so special"

Little White Building.

"Crash."

Drops of water dripped slowly down the elbow.

Liu Shishi washed herself from head to toe, inside and out, until she was edible.

She was topless, wearing only a thin black ice silk nightgown, and her figure was faintly visible under the light.

Her face is rosy and her arms are snow-white, so white that you can pinch them to produce water. Then sprinkle some carefully prepared perfume on her, spin around in circles, and she will smell fragrant all over.

"Hmph, you're beautiful again. I'll drain you dry tonight."

She cast a coquettish glance at herself in the mirror and said viciously.

Then, she straightened her little bear, pushed open the bathroom door in a coquettish manner, and walked towards her boyfriend with a twist of her waist.

As her thighs swing, the hem of her skirt flutters, revealing her rounded petals, revealing a glimpse of spring.

At this moment, Lu Yuan was sitting at the table with his bare chest.

With the thumb of one hand resting on his chin and the index finger on the bridge of his nose, he kept sliding the mouse with the other hand, staring at the emails on his laptop in a daze.

"Husband~"

Liu Shishi called out in a coquettish voice, sat sideways on his lap, and put her arms around his neck.

"Yeah." Lu Yuan subconsciously reached out and put his arm around her waist, his eyes still fixed on the computer screen.

She was a little unhappy, so she snatched the mouse and threw it aside, straightened his head, and puffed her cheeks: "Don't play with it, play with me."

"Oh." He continued to squint at the email.

Liu Shishi wrinkled her nose and glanced: "What are you looking at?"

“Next month, Qiyi will be upgraded to iQiyi.”

"Wasn't the notice given around April?"

"more than."

Lu Yuan then retracted his gaze and explained, "Baidu is in contact with Providence Capital and plans to buy back most of the website's shares next year. Baidu wants to have absolute control."

Qiyi currently has three major shareholders, one is Baidu, the second is Providence Capital, and the third is him.

"Then what will you do?" Liu Shishi's smile gradually disappeared, replaced by a worried look. Lu Yuan owns 18% of Qiyi's shares.

iQIYI has been developing very well in the past two years.

Because of the strategic cooperation with Blueprint Copyright, it has a sufficient film library, which gives it a huge advantage compared with several other video companies in the market.

Coupled with the popularity of several TV series such as "Before the Dawn", "Snow Leopard" and "Startling by Each Step", a large number of users have been attracted to register, and its current market share ranks first.

Faced with this situation, it is not difficult to understand why Baidu took action.

"I don't think we can reach an agreement in a short time." Lu Yuan said in a low voice.

"It's useless to think so much. Let's see what Gong Yu says at the annual meeting. Li Yanhong will probably be there too. If it doesn't work out, just take the money and leave. In the era where content is king, with the blueprint in hand, there is no video company that I can't join, such as Tencent, Tudou, or Sohu."

Seeing Liu Shishi frowning, she felt worried about him.

Lu Yuan smiled, tugged at the hem of his shirt, and asked, "Do you know what iQiyi's current valuation is?"

Miss Liu changed her position to facilitate his entry and shook her head.

"15 billion US dollars." He pinched the bun.

"According to the current exchange rate, it is equivalent to RMB 97.5 billion."

"Then you have .97.5 times .0.18 equals"

Liu Shishi's eyes lit up. She pulled his hand out of his clothes, got up hurriedly, took out her cell phone, and pressed it for a long time.

"17.55 billion!!" She was stunned, her pink lips slightly parted, looking so adorable.

"Ahhh, I'm rich!"

She excitedly rushed to her boyfriend, sat on his legs, put her arms around his neck, and shouted excitedly: "Brother, you are going to be rich!"

Although Lu Yuan is very famous, his film pay and endorsement fees are at the top level in the industry, but because he does not do commercial performances, his annual income is only around 100 million yuan.

"It's just so-so." Lu Yuan boasted a little.

Not counting the potential value of the blueprint copyright, plus cash and Runtian’s shares, the total is over 25 billion.

Liu Shishi was so happy that she lost herself in laughter and twisted her waist.

The holster rubbed against the gun.

"Get rich, get rich."

Lu Yuan looked at his girlfriend who was so close to him. She had a pretty little face, her fair skin was slightly rosy, her mouth was half open, and she had thin lips. Further down was her delicate neck and charming collarbone.

He liked it very much and his mind began to harden.

So he leaned forward and sucked her earlobe: "Baby, you smell so good today."

"Hmm, it's itchy."

Liu Shishi was feeling very proud. They hadn't seen each other for half a month, and the next two months of filming would take another two months. She had to squeeze him dry tonight, without leaving even a drop.

She hugged his head and started to talk.

"No~"

Slightly slightly.

Lu Yuan put his hands on her waist and pushed up the hem of her skirt. She supported herself with her small hands and lifted it up gently in cooperation.

Just at the critical moment when the stick knocked on the Water Curtain Cave.

Liu Shishi suddenly leaned back, supported his shoulders, exhaled hot air, and said, "There is something I forgot to say."

"What." He was a little annoyed, feeling stuck in the middle. Couldn't he just finish the thing first?

"Xu Zheng asked me if I wanted to make a guest appearance."

"Guest appearance, what guest appearance?" He put his head into his girlfriend's arms and said in a buzzing voice, "Didn't the role go to Fan Bingbing?"

“Not that character.”

Liu Shishi poked his head with her chin and said, "He asked me to play your wife in the play and said he would give me one shot."

Lu Yuan rolled his eyes. That guy was really omnipresent.

According to the script, there is no shot of his daughter-in-law in the play, only the sound of her making a phone call.

"Okay, whatever you want."

He started talking again in a hurry.

Liu Shishi struggled to stand up, her suspenders were half off, revealing a patch of her fair skin.

She glanced at the bed, held his hand, and said teasingly with lustful eyes: "Husband, let's go, I will listen to you tonight."

"Why are you leaving? I will execute you on the spot."

"oops."

Lu Yuan pulled her over unhappily, turned her around, facing away from him, and pressed her on the table roughly.

"Snapped."

"Stick it out!"

Chiang Mai, Thailand.

Chiang Mai is the second largest city in Thailand.

It is also the cultural center of northern Thailand and is known as the "City of Roses".

The city is located in a mountainous area, surrounded by mountains on all sides. Under the slanting sunlight, the rice fields are mottled with light and shadow, lush greenery gushes out, and the Ping River passes through the city like a ribbon.

Looking down at the entire city from high above through the porthole, the new assistant Zheng Qian felt a unique beauty.

Soon, Chiang Mai International Airport lay quietly in her sight.

She turned her head to look at Lu Yuan, who was resting with an eye mask on, and pursed her lips.

Wang Lili said that although Liu Shishi woke up late this morning, she was in great shape, with a rosy face and smiling at everyone she met.

On the other hand, Lu Yuan fell asleep as soon as he got on the plane.

She was only in her early 20s and was a fan of Lu Yuan when she was in college.

I understood everything, both what I should understand and what I shouldn't understand. My eyes lingered on his well-defined profile, and mosaics began to appear in my mind involuntarily.

It was not until the plane landed smoothly that Zheng Qian came to her senses and gently pushed him.

"Teacher Lu."

"Yeah." Lu Yuan responded in a daze.

"We've arrived in Chiang Mai, get off the plane right away."

"it is good."

He took off his eye mask and the sunlight suddenly appeared. It was too dazzling, so he squinted for a while.

The time in Thailand is one hour behind that in China. It is 12:00 noon in Beijing while it is 11:00 noon in Thailand.

Unlike the four seasons in China, namely spring, summer, autumn and winter, Thailand has only three seasons a year.

Cool season, November to February.

Hot season, March - May.

Rainy season, June-October.

Generally speaking, the cool season is best for traveling.

As soon as he got off the plane, Lu Yuan felt the local temperature.

"Wow, this temperature."

It is already the end of October and people in China can wear thin jackets, but the temperature in Chiang Mai is still hot. Looking around, everyone is wearing short sleeves.

Even this, it’s still too hot.

Chiang Mai Airport is not big, it was built a long time ago and its facilities are a bit old, but it has a unique charm.

The two men pulled their suitcases and walked out of the airport one after the other, meeting many Chinese tourists along the way.

After noticing Lu Yuan, he was very surprised, and boldly stepped forward to ask for his autograph, took a photo, and then posted it on Weibo.

Not long after, the news that the cargo had safely arrived in Thailand spread back to the country.

Outside the airport, Xu Zheng had been waiting in the car for a long time. When he saw the two people, he got down quickly. His bald head reflected the light and was very dazzling.

"Grease it," he joked.

"Sun protection." Xu Zheng laughed while wearing sunglasses.

"It's so hot here that the locals wear sunscreen almost all year round. When in Rome, do as the Romans do."

After chatting for a few words, Lu Yuan turned his gaze to the woman beside him.

"Hello, Mr. Lu. I'm Chen Zhixi."
