Chapter 52 Only One
5 month 7 number.
Because they had to leave for Shishi early the next morning, Xu Kun took Baoqiang to Zhongguancun in the afternoon and picked out a second-hand Bird for him.
The phone cost more than 900 yuan, and Xu Kun paid 200 yuan for his phone bill out of his own pocket.
In fact, Baoqiang has made a lot of money recently, but he is used to being frugal, and he is also used to sending most of the money back to his hometown, so he is still very stingy and dare not spend money.
If left alone, Baoqiang would probably not be willing to buy a mobile phone even when the filming of "Conquest" was completed.
Back in the rental house, Xu Kun packed his luggage while explaining to Bao Qiang: "I estimate that it will take at least the end of July for me to return to Shishi. If the couple next door cancels the lease by then, you can rent that room first. We can each have a room and it will be more spacious."
"is this necessary?"
Baoqiang was quite resistant. The six months he shared a house with Xu Kun were almost the most comfortable six months of his life. Even if they moved next door, he was reluctant to leave.
Not to mention the rent is so expensive.
"nonsense."
Xu Kun rolled his eyes and said, "You've finally come to your senses. You'll have to have a girlfriend or something in the future. You can't just drag her out to get a room every day, right?"
"I, I'm not in a hurry."
Baoqiang obviously remembered his experience in the massage parlor at the beginning of the year, and his face turned as red as a monkey's butt.
"You're not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry!"
As Xu Kun spoke, he took out a stack of money.
Just as he was about to hand it to Baoqiang, Baoqiang said first: "I have money, I have money!"
"That's fine."
Xu Kun did not refuse him and stuffed the money back, saying, "We should earn money and spend money. With the current momentum, we will definitely get better and better in the future. When we make a lot of money, we can buy a villa in Beijing!"
Baoqiang grinned after hearing this, obviously not quite convinced, but he still nodded and said: "Then we will buy them next to each other then."
"That's for sure..."
Just as Xu Kun was about to agree, his cell phone rang in his trouser pocket. He reached out and took out his cell phone. Seeing Baoqiang also subconsciously grabbing a second-hand waveguide, he couldn't help but joked, "You were reluctant before, but you see, you are quite familiar with it."
As he spoke, he looked down at the caller ID and frowned.
It’s Lv Liping calling!
Counting the days, a month has passed since the two of them slept together in a daze. During this period, Lv Liping has never contacted him. However, Li Xiaolu would call him occasionally and say a few sarcastic words on the phone.
Now that Lv Liping suddenly came to me, she couldn't be planning to hold a 'full moon banquet', right?
After making a gesture to Baoqiang, asking him to help him stuff his things into the suitcase, Xu Kun walked out of the door holding the phone.
Standing under the persimmon tree, he answered the phone and listened for a moment. However, there was no other sound except the slightly heavy breathing from the other end.
"Teacher Lu."
It seemed that he had to take the initiative, so Xu Kun asked enthusiastically but appropriately: "You called me suddenly, is there something you want to tell me?"
"Nothing."
The guilt in Lv Liping's voice could not be concealed at all.
Over the past month, every time she thought back to what happened that night, she felt that she was either insane or under a spell.
Otherwise, how could she do such a crazy thing with a young man she didn't know well? ! Before today, she thought she would never contact Xu Kun again, but when Sun Haiying took the initiative to suggest that they go to the Northeast to register for marriage in a few days, she inexplicably had the urge to contact Xu Kun.
Finally, under the impulse, she dialed Xu Kun's number.
However, the call was connected, but she didn't know what to say to Xu Kun.
After racking his brains for a while, he finally found an excuse: "Oh, right, a few days ago Liu Heng said he wanted to put together a crew. He is the famous screenwriter and writer Liu Heng who has written "Ju Dou", "Qiu Ju Goes to Court", "Steal a Joy", "Pretty Mom", and "The Happy Life of Poor Mouth Zhang Damin".
Although Xu Kun had never heard of Liu Heng before, he had seen all the plays listed by Lv Liping except "Pretty Mom", and all of them were good movies and good scripts.
Directors may not live up to their reputations, and actors may have ups and downs, but screenwriters should still be relatively reliable, right? Especially with so many successful cases.
Xu Kun immediately asked with great anticipation: "Teacher Lu, are you planning to introduce a role to me?"
"Uh, well, that's an idea."
Lu Liping actually just mentioned it casually. Liu Heng had only been a screenwriter and writer before and had never directly participated in the filming tasks of the crew. This time he suddenly decided to get a script and shoot it himself. In fact, not many people in the circle were optimistic about it.
Moreover, the news has just been announced, and Liu Heng’s book has not yet been written.
However, with the connections Liu Heng has accumulated over the years, even if not many people are optimistic about it, he can still put together a professional crew.
So Lv Liping still guaranteed: "As long as there is a suitable role, I will definitely help you get it."
"That's great. Just let me know in advance so I can make time for it."
After this topic came to a temporary end, the two fell into silence again. This time Xu Kun did not take the initiative to break the silence, but waited quietly for Lu Liping's next words.
About half a minute later, Lv Liping finally said, "Lao Sun just proposed to register for marriage with me."
Tsk~
This old fellow surnamed Sun acted quite quickly.
Xu Kun waited for a moment before asking tentatively: "Do you want me to say congratulations, or..."
"If it weren't for what happened that day, I, I should have agreed on the spot." Lv Liping's voice was mixed with some resentment, but more of it was at a loss: "But my mind is in a mess now, I don't know what to do at all."
After hearing what Lü Liping said, Xu Kun's first thought was to ruin their plan completely.
But what happens after it goes wrong?
He couldn't marry Lv Liping, could he? Wouldn't that be the Oedipus complex that Li Xiaolu talked about?
After hesitating for a while, Xu Kun decided to break up the relationship first. Since there was such a big age gap between them, Lv Liping should not make any "unreasonable demands".
Although the middle-aged Lü Liping is certainly not as youthful and hot as the little elk, Xu Kun becomes motivated when he thinks that he is going to ruin the Japanese invaders' plans.
So he decisively tried to test: "How about we meet and talk in detail?"
"This……"
Lv Liping obviously didn't expect Xu Kun to ask for a meeting. She was flustered for a while before she said in a trembling voice, "Well, then, where shall we meet?"
"Tell me the address and I'll drive over to pick you up."
Lu Liping struggled for a while before finally reporting a place name near the West Second Ring Road.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Kun first contacted Chen Xuebin: "Brother Chen, please help me. Lend me your van with the back seat removed!"
Recently, more and more film crews have started work, so naturally, Chen Xuebin, the team leader, has also been busy. After the beginning of spring, he bought a second-hand van to deliver props and lunch boxes to the crews.
After talking to Chen Xuebin, Xu Kun shouted into the room again: "Baoqiang, don't put the blanket you bought last summer in there. I'll take it out and throw it away and replace it with a new one!"
To be honest, he and Lv Liping were not actually familiar with each other, and the only thing he could use to persuade Lv Liping and Sun Haiying to break up was that 'one thing'.
