Chapter 131 The lotus flowers from ten miles away are still there today.

On a sunny day, deep in the lotus, a child's horn is hidden, and an old man with a white beard leans against it. Small fish bite the waves, the boat's raft breaks through the green, hidden birds are chirping, and green-headed lake ducks appear.

The Hangzhou in Liu Yong's poems coincided with reality. Liu Yong, who was rejected when he visited his old friends, remained calm despite the comments from people around him.

"The same goes for Liu Qi. What kind of status does Mr. Sun have now? He dares to approach the door of a high-ranking official just because he is an old friend. Do you really have no idea of ​​his own worth?"

Even though the capital is still in Bianjing, it still cannot change the fact that Hangzhou is prosperous and competitive. Passers-by coming and going don't even have the opportunity to send greetings, but they have to talk about other people's affairs.

“When you are not successful, you don’t even know how many people you know. When you become successful, you don’t know how many people start talking to you.”

"That's right. How many old friends does Mr. Sun have?" The person who initially raised the topic chuckled, obviously disdainful of Liu Yong's behavior. "If everyone comes together, how can Mr. Sun be ignored by everyone?"

Passers-by talked a lot, and as the phoenix smoke from the south of the Yangtze River reached Liu Yong's ears, the latter, who should have been moved, was completely unmoved. He waved his folding fan gently and strolled around the courtyard.

"I've already been rejected and still don't care. I don't know if this person is stupid or..."

"What does it have to do with you and me? When Sun Guanren is kicked out again without even seeing his face, then there will be a good show to watch."

The idle words were knocked to the ground by the sudden drizzle of rain. Liu Yong had already walked away, so naturally he couldn't hear them anymore.

"My old friend is busy, so I have to think of a way to get the news to reach his ears." Whether it was the guard boy at the official's house or the maid who communicated with him, Liu Yong just thought that his words could not be conveyed, so he just

Because these are the people who serve food to others.

"Liu Yong's lyrics are graceful, and now you can see why." I was very immersed in the performance not far away, but Ning Yunfan couldn't hear it clearly through the artificial rain curtain. He just looked at the script and sighed, "Romantic and ideal

, I lost my official career because of my style of writing, and I can’t blame the superiors.”

An old friend who has become a high-ranking official is kept behind closed doors. If one were to think like an ordinary person, he would definitely understand that the other party's "official business" plan was just an excuse. It was just because of the huge difference in status. He was afraid that he would be asked to borrow money or seek an official position, so he refused.

Being kind and agreeing is just a violation of the law.

But Liu Yong didn’t know whether he really didn’t understand it, or whether he just came here to ask for a recommendation, so he posted it.

"Business is busy, just ask me to do business in Hangzhou!" The fan in his hand was knocked and closed, and the scene ended as Liu Yong's actor "came out" in the camera.

"very good."

"Field management, check the props again..."

Ning Yunfan's uncle was still busy, but Ning Yunfan had already hid aside and chatted non-stop with his girlfriend An Ji.

"Don't worry, it won't happen. If you don't believe me, don't you believe your best friend?"

"That reporter didn't mean anything malicious when I heard it. You felt it, too. Besides, you believe in yourself and what you said was very good. There is nothing wrong with it."

After finally no longer worrying about "opportunities obtained through connections", An Ji began to worry about whether his answer would have a negative impact on Hang Luo - choosing a major is a dream, An Ji has never hesitated

However, An Ji didn't want to make any mistakes when facing the things he cherished.

"And like you said, the reporter probably wanted to see what kind of person you are because of the comments online. After all, many news nowadays are about paying others to report on you."

"Don't worry. Didn't the reporter also tell you that they will give you the manuscript? Take a look at it when the time comes. If you don't worry, we will check it for you... There will be no problem!"

Uncle Ning Yunfan didn't know when he walked up to Ning Yunfan and patted the latter's shoulder gently, "Don't talk to your girlfriend now. There's something going on here. Tell her that I know that reporter and he's a nice person."

Yes, tell her to rest assured."

The voice reached An Ji's ears along the phone's microphone. The embarrassment of being heard by others turned An Ji's entanglement into restraint: "Ning Yunfan, go quickly and say thank you to me and your uncle."

"The watermelon song fills the night, playing and fishing for the old lotus baby..." The passers-by outside the wall sang in tune, climbing over the high wall, and reached into the ears of Zheng Guanren inside the house.

"This song is "Looking at the Tide" that you just presented to me, which is popular in Hangzhou city?" Sun Guanren became interested and asked the attendant, "Do you know who composed this song?"

fill?"

The subordinate nodded, as if he suddenly remembered something, and then shook his head, until he caught a glimpse of Sun Guan's face and spoke hurriedly.

"Sir, what I mean is that this song is indeed the song "Looking at the Tide" that has been sung in Hangzhou recently, but... I really don't know who composed "Looking at the Tide"!"

When Sun He heard this, the anger on his face still showed no sign of dissipation: "Why don't you know?"

"This, this... this song is spread all over the capital from the mouth of the singing girl. Your Excellency also knows that the lower official is busy every day. When he returns home, he still has unfinished business. He spends the rest of the time with his wife, cutting candles and practicing calligraphy.

Where do you have time to listen to music?”

The Goulan House in the Song Dynasty is not the highly derogatory interpretation it has today. Even ordinary people would use it as a place for leisure. But Mr. Sun, the subordinate, is right. For him, I am afraid that he does not have such leisure time.

With his subordinate's explanation, Sun He nodded silently and stopped caring, but suddenly became interested: "Would you like to listen to this song with me?"

"Your Majesty, what you mean is...there is something wrong with this piece of music?" As a subordinate, no matter how discerning he is, he may not be able to fully understand his boss's thoughts. "My lord, may I need to go down and find some more people?"

"No need, no need!"

After being misinterpreted one after another, Sun He felt a little impatient - he had been in a high position for a long time, and most of his subordinates had to look at others to act, so Sun He was naturally used to it.

"This word is quite similar to the style of an old friend of mine. It's a pity that my friend's career has not been smooth. Alas... But I really can't help you in this situation, so I can only be a close friend."

Sun He's words shocked his subordinates. They heard that a few days ago, someone just took it upon himself to reject the invitation from 'Liu Qi'. Could it be...

"Your Majesty is devoted to being a close friend, so your close friend will naturally understand your difficulties."

Hearing this, Sun He looked even more sad. Yes, Liu Qi would understand him, but the court refused to entrust him with important tasks because of Liu Qi's colorful words. It was really because he did not dare and could not help.

"Let's go. I'm not busy with business today. If it's really what my old friend did, I'd just like to get together with him and get over the pain of not seeing him for a long time."

"When people hear this kind of story, nine out of ten people will say it is false." Ning Yunfan complained to his uncle, "Nowadays, many people no longer think about those old feelings after they have become prosperous."

Ning Yunfan also felt a little inappropriate after saying this. Isn't the relationship between his uncle and An Ji's father the same as that of Sun He and Liu Yong? He said this, although his uncle didn't care, but he seemed to mean it.

refer to.

"It's not easy to share joys and sorrows. You have to know that some people don't bless their old friends when they see them prosper. Instead, they become jealous and only think about why others are rich."

"Not everyone wants their friends to be rich. Just like the comment that is very popular on the Internet now, 'They want you to be rich, but they don't want you to be richer than them.' This is the mentality of some people.

All I think about is comparing myself with the people around me.”

Uncle Ning Yunfan's words sounded like he thought too badly of people, but Ning Yunfan knew that this truth was correct. The former had seen too many in the profit-filled film and television industry, and had also seen too many stories written by people.

The word 'old friend' is really not as simple as it seems on the surface.

"Okay, don't worry, your girlfriend's father and I are not so afraid that the other person will be better than us. Otherwise, you two wouldn't have been so good over the years. People of the same kind flock together, and birds of a feather flock together. I worry about you.

Here, there is still something to do later.”

Silently giving his uncle a thumbs up in his heart, Ning Yunfan followed the former's pace and continued to check the necessary preparations for the next game.

"Um, Director Ning... the stage manager? May I interrupt you?" The person speaking was the actress who will play the showgirl in tomorrow's shooting. Knowing that the previous scene was being filmed today, she came here specifically to get a feel for it.

Because of his uncle's relationship, Ning Yunfan can be said to be able to do everything in the crew. Wherever there is a shortage of people, there is always a need to fill in. For a while, people who come in don't know how to call Ning Yunfan.

"It's okay. If you have anything to say, just say it. Don't worry about the title. Just call me Xiao Ning."

"I'm probably about the same age as you..." Although the singer is not a popular star, she still doesn't dare to say the wrong thing. Who knows if she is photographed, it will cause a wave of discussion, and maybe her career will be over.

broken.

"Then call me Ning Yunfan." Ning Yunfan smiled obediently, not caring, "It's all the same, just tell me what you want to ask."

"I just tried on some clothes. I heard that your girlfriend is the fashion designer. I would like to ask her if she can have clothes made of this material customized?"

Ning Yunfan didn't know how to respond to the actress's words. An Ji was so busy recently that he really might not have time to make customizations.

"It's okay to buy the materials if you can't. I'll find someone to make it." Seeing Ning Yunfan's hesitation, the actress hurriedly said, "It's definitely a bit cold this winter, but it will definitely be very comfortable in the summer, and... after all, cultural things nowadays

It’s also more camera-catching.”

"Well, okay, let me ask you a question. Come to me after you finish shooting your scene tomorrow." The actress said sincerely, and Ning Yunfan naturally became more proactive. "Well, I'll push her on WeChat."

Here you go, just ask her directly, and just say she is an actor in "Silly West Lake". I will just tell her in advance when the time comes."

"Okay, thank you, thank you." The actress went to try on makeup again. The makeup artist had a new idea and wanted to adjust it in subtle ways to weaken the "fengchen" aura a little more.

"Yunfan, come here, I was just about to tell you that after our film is made, I am going to submit it to some competitions. If it gets nominated, your girlfriend and her best friend will have to design some outfits for the nominated actors.

We mentioned this in the contract, and when the time comes, you and her will prepare together. I heard you say that she is also quite busy."

"Also, do you have time to ask, when we release the press conference, will the main creative team have costume designs? I won't get involved, after all, you are professionals in this area."

Ning Yunfan agreed, turned around and picked up his phone to edit a few WeChat messages and send them to An Ji.

[I would rather Xu Yifan be a lonely boat: You should do your business first, and don’t rush to reply to mine. I will tell you two things]

[I would rather Xu Yifan be a lonely boat: One is that an actor from our crew wants to join you, and I want to ask you to customize clothes]

[Ning Xu Yifan is a lonely boat: Another thing is that my uncle signed the contract with you. Do you think the costume design of the main creator has any clues? If not, I will help you with it, don’t be too busy]

"Yunfan! Go and see what's going on over there with the props!" Uncle's voice came from the intercom. Even though it was mixed with hissing noises, you could still hear the anxiety on the other side.

Sighing helplessly, Ning Yunfan put away his phone and trotted towards the direction of the props team.

"How can I not find it?" Ning Yunfan ran a little hastily, panting heavily, and at the same time, his words were a little impatient.

"Sorry, sorry, it's a new intern..."

Making mistakes is first-class, apologizing is first-class, but you just don’t change it.

Ning Yunfan didn't worry about whether it was really an intern who didn't do his job well. He said straightforwardly: "Okay, now if you find it, hurry up. Fortunately, you found it during the inspection. Otherwise, if something goes wrong after filming starts, you and I will be responsible."
