Just as Xiao Deng said, after the ceremony, there was a cocktail party on the 18th floor of the theater hotel next door.
Gao Xu stood by the wall holding a glass of sweet red wine. He looked at the white woman playing a strange musical instrument for a while, then turned to Miao Jin and said, "Compared to the luncheon the day after tomorrow, I really prefer this kind of modern cocktail party."
He thought for a moment and continued, "A banquet is like a traditional rural banquet with a hierarchy of presentations. The important person at the head of the table is the core of the whole place. Then, among the guests at each table, there are always one or two more prestigious and senior people who maintain the atmosphere and topics of the whole table.
People are forced to repeat universal clichés because even friends, family members, and colleagues may not share the same interests. The experience is often not that good, so people call it socializing. But this kind
Mr. Pan observed Gao Xu from time to time, as if he had something to say but could not express it in words. At a certain moment, his expression showed a sense of giving up.But he finally spoke, "Mr. Liu has a very peaceful mentality, not like an arrogant person. But I always have a feeling that you seem to be used to control, like a god who can give and take..." He took a breath and frowned as if thinking, "Before making "Dream Seeker", Mr. Liu must have been very short of funds, right?"Gao Xu felt a little unhappy after hearing this. Perhaps it was not because Mr. Pan's words were unpleasant, but because Gao Xu was not used to being paid too much attention, especially by unfamiliar people.Although Mr. Pan's expression was messy, Gao Xu still captured the meaning, which is probably twofold.First, arrogant people often have a mismatch between strength and mentality. Only with an arrogant mentality can they project the corresponding words and deeds;
The light at dusk has gradually dimmed, and the street lights have not yet been turned on. On the clean, flat, and slightly narrow tarmac road, the main part of the modern building is light gray, decorated with low fences and a few evergreens, quiet and peaceful. The light yellow light from the house, the swaying figures on the kitchen window, and the floating music make people feel warm and cozy.Gao Xu received two calls, Wang Cheng and his wife and Xiao Deng were almost there. He described the specific location and route of the residence twice.Then he called Miao Jin and said, "Let's go to the door to meet them."Miao Jin stood up from the amplifier and walked over. She was wearing a dark purple dress, revealing her beautiful white shoulders, which matched the modern style of the house's decoration and furnishings very well. This was also the least conservative dress she had worn in front of others, probably because the dinner was at home.The chef
People returned to the rectangular oak dining table. The beige light from the scattered light bulbs was bright but not glaring. The solid wood speaker worth 30,000 yen was playing a beautiful but peculiar song.Various traditional oriental orchestral instruments, violin melodies, and the gentle singing of female voices interpret a range of musical styles that classical music has never had. The complex combination of instruments can produce a harmonious and delicate auditory sense. This is probably the reason why this song has become a classic.Gao Xu was sitting at the top, with Wang Cheng and his wife on his left, and Miao Jin and Xiao Deng on his right. Wang Cheng said, "This is the music from the book "The Ideal Country" during the reign of Emperor Xingzong. It was a turbulent and colorful era, like the second Hundred Schools of Thought."Gao Xu immediately responded, "One of them is "The Transformation of Pastoral". It was chosen by Xiaowan."Miao
The chef and his assistants had already left, leaving only two waiters cleaning up the kitchen.Gao Xu invited the guests to drink juice by the swimming pool in the backyard, and at the same time freed up the restaurant for the waiters to clean up. He was not very used to doing housework, and he didn't want to do it, so he felt that Miaojin should do less.He was a little drunk, but it was once again verified that people can still be relatively conscious after being drunk.A total of two bottles of liquor with over 50% alcohol content were opened, mainly consumed by Gao Xu and Wang Cheng, and Xiao Deng also drank a lot. The remaining two women mainly drank sweet red wine.Wang Cheng's characteristic was that he talked a lot when he was drunk. When a few people were sitting by the swimming pool, he started rambling, and after a while he started talking about the law. Why is this topic, probably because he is familiar with it."Mr. Liu, let me tell
The piece of paper in Xiao Deng's hand represents a huge sum of money.Two million yuan, calculated according to the grain price, is equivalent to 10 or 20 million yuan. Even in the most expensive areas of Beijing and Taicang, she can buy two or three high-rise properties. For an ordinary person, it is exaggerated to say that this amount of money has the power to change the trajectory of life."This is the compensation you deserve. It's already your personal funds." Gao Xu said calmly, "You should accept it first. We have no right to ask how you deal with it."Gao Xu suddenly wanted to know how Xiao Deng would eventually deal with her family disputes and what would happen next.He also felt that his thoughts seemed a little lacking in sympathy, but he was indeed very curious. The industrialized Ming Dynasty was different from the Ming Dynasty and any other era; but Gao Xu vaguely realized that some of the traditional intrinsic things did not seem to ha
Going there in the summer didn't seem like a good choice. Gao Xu and Miao Jin had just gotten off the plane and were waiting for a car outside Cairo Airport. He immediately felt like he was in a big steamer and sweat broke out all over his body.The person he admired most at this time was Miao Jin, who was beside him. She was dressed very tightly, wearing lace-up leather shoes, canvas trousers, a loose cotton long-sleeved shirt, a sun hat, sunglasses, and a mask, with almost no skin exposed except for her hands."Are you okay?" Gao Xu asked kindly.Miao Jin glanced sideways, facing him with sunglasses, and said weakly, "If you calm down, you will feel cooler."Gao Xu seemed to have said this many times.Finally, a Ming-made "Mountain Tiger" off-road vehicle arrived. When we contacted the hotel by phone, they said that the person picking us up at the airport was driving a Mountain Tiger off-road vehicle. Sure enough, a sign was extended from the w
There was an air-conditioned tea room next to the restaurant downstairs. Miao Jin, who was wearing long-sleeved clothes, suggested drinking some tea until dusk. Gao Xu naturally followed her wishes.They both ordered a kind of black tea that the locals loved to drink. After a while, a black girl came over with a few ceramic containers. She should be Nubian. Gao Xu was not sure, but those with darker skin were most likely Nubians.She first put a dish of white sugar on the table, and the sugar in it stood out. Gao Xu then said to Miao Jin, "It seems that people like to eat sweets.""Dang!" Suddenly there was a crisp sound, and Gao Xu turned around, only to see a teacup falling to the ground, causing pieces to scatter and tea to spill all over the floor. The black girl immediately froze on the spot, then she put the other tea cup on the table, trembling all over and knelt on the ground to pick up the pieces. Come to tears.After a while, a tall white man
The next day, Gao Xu finally realized why the tour guide named Mona spoke tentatively about the daily wage. It turned out that the daily wage of ordinary people in the area was between three and four yuan, and this was the income of people with jobs.When Gao Xu was a clerk in the company, his daily salary was about 170 yuan. He neglected the exchange rate of Ming yuan and did not realize that the Ming people could easily earn more than 40 times that. No wonder Mona said that she only served Ming people, and it was hard to determine whether the reason was because "Ming people are polite."The local prices were not necessarily low. For example, the price of the Shanhu brand off-road vehicle driven by Yang Kui was more than double that of the Ming Dynasty. The only low-priced item was food, which was said to be heavily subsidized by the government every year.Yesterday, the French couple complained that the locals were unpunctual and lazy, and they probably th
The sky gradually darkened and the lights came on. Gao Xu held Miao Jin's hand and followed the crowd into the concert hall.People were all dressed up, especially women, who were all dressed up. Some wore traditional clothes such as ruqun or aoqun, while others were dressed in modern fashion. Each figure seemed to be wandering between the classical and the modern.Among them there are many foreigners, probably all of whom came to Taicang to attend international conferences.In terms of fun, people might prefer to watch a movie rather than enjoy such pure music. However, there were still many listeners tonight, and the auditorium gradually filled up.Perhaps some of them value the rarity of concerts and do not attend them often, while others simply value their style.Gao Xu's main happiness comes from Miao Jin's company. Imagine if he came alone or with someone unrelated, his feelings would be much worse. He is willing to be with Miao Jin and exp
There were long commercials playing on TV, but no one changed the channel.Miao Jin was doing chores and preparing ingredients for lunch. Gao Xu began to check his various instruments, which were all measuring tools he had collected a while ago.There is a ray detector, which, according to the manual, can detect radiation, including ultraviolet light, laser and other electromagnetic waves. There is a torsion balance experimental device, which can measure the gravitational constant. And an air measuring instrument.There were also some uncommon small devices. In short, except for the large instruments that were difficult to carry, he tried his best to buy all the instruments that could test general constants.Miao Jin would occasionally look over here curiously, but before she asked, she might have guessed what Gao Xu was going to do.Gao Xu would tell her clearly as long as she asked. Because when he was going to look for the cave in Huangshan, h
Gao Xu usually doesn't like watching TV. But today, when Miao Jin was watching TV in the living room, he was gradually attracted by the TV program, so he stopped what he was doing and sat next to Miao Jin.There was a studio on the TV screen, with two hosts, a man and a woman, talking about the animation "Zootopia" like a crosstalk. It was neither news nor entertainment, but a show that mocked reality.Miao Jin saw Gao Xu sitting over and said, "This TV station should be more inclined to the left-wing viewpoint."Gao Xu asked, "Why haven't I heard of the distinction between left and right wings?"Miao Jin said, "It is originally an imported product. That is how foreigners describe Ming Dynasty politics. There is no clear distinction between left and right in China. So we generally don't use such words. It is normal that we don't hear them normally."She glanced at Gao Xu and continued, "This classification first appeared in the parliament during
Gao Xu's drama project has less than half the investment of the animation project, with a total investment of about 40 million yen for 15 episodes; the profit expectations are also completely incomparable to those of animated films. As Wang Siqi and most people believe, the fastest way to make money is still the movie box office.But Gao Xu has invested more energy in costume dramas.The crew built a filming site in the Western Regions. From 509 to the first half of 510, a production period of less than a year, Gao Xu flew twice to personally observe the filming site. His subordinate Sun Jing also stayed in the Western Regions for a long time, passing various information back to Taicang.A large media company in Taicang has signed an exclusive premiere agreement with Dream Incubation Studio.The terms are a bit complicated, but the key is to adopt a cooperation model with floating copyright fees. When the series is almost finished, a pay TV station und
The glass window on the outer wall is located in the east direction, so the sunlight cannot enter the studio in the afternoon. Therefore, Gao Xu often has a slight illusion that it seems to be later than the actual time.At this moment, the phone in his coat pocket rang. Gao Xu's phone rarely received calls because he had set the Do Not Disturb function, so no calls could be received from numbers that were not saved. He took it out and saw that it was a person who he did not contact often but had saved the number a long time ago, Sun Jing.Gao Xu stood up from his desk, walked to the corner by the glass window, glanced at Wang Cheng not far away, and answered the phone.Sun Jing's voice asked, "Are you still busy with work?"Gao Xu said, "Yes, I am working on two projects at the same time, so I am a little busy. How is Mr. Sun doing recently?"Sun Jing, "Very boring. I don't have to go to work, but I've been idle for so long that I feel like I'm
This was the second time Gao Xu and Xiao Yu had a meal together. Last time they were at the company cafeteria, and today they were at a roadside fast food restaurant.After finishing work at the agency, Gao Xu drove off the main road and found a parking space. Then he randomly found a restaurant where he could eat and walked in with Xiao Yu.It was very lively inside, with all kinds of customers, including well-dressed office workers and some homely citizens, men, women, young and old, making a big noise in the room, mixed with the loud shouts of the shop assistants passing on information. Although the air conditioner was on, the shop was open and there were many people, so it was still very hot inside.There were several dishes to choose from, all of which were simple and convenient. Gao Xu and Xiao Yu gave up on the braised pork intestines with radish, and roast duck was too greasy, so they chose roast chicken.The roasted chicken skin was cut into p
After many twists and turns, Gao Xu finally contacted the director named Ma Xuan.Ma Xuan has an account on the Internet where he posts some career news. Gao Xu's assistant Yu Ni left messages and sent messages, but it took several days for her to get a response. Gao Xu came to the hall and looked through the information records on Yu Ni's computer."He doesn't seem very proactive." Yu Ni said.Gao Xu said , "You claim to be the assistant of the investor of "Dream Seekers", but he may not believe you. If our studio also has such a certified account, it may save some trouble."At this time, Shidai Heng walked by and greeted him, "Mr. Liu."Gao Xu nodded and said, "We are trying to contact Ma Xuan, the director you recommended."Dai Heng came over and said, "He should have received a lot of similar messages. And there is indeed some false information on the Internet. For the purpose of advertising, people may lie about their identities, which
The people who work here, including Dai Heng who has only been here a few days, seem to have gotten used to the environment.The studio was in good condition. The morning sun shone in through the French windows, and the room was clean and tidy. In addition to the solid wood desk and bookshelf, and a full range of domestic electrical appliances (Made in China products are more expensive), there were also comfortable leather chairs.Gao Xu was in Xiao Deng's office at the moment, sitting on one of the leather chairs, holding a tablet and reading the text he had just copied from Xiao Deng's computer. Of course, he couldn't help but listen to the sound of her keyboard at the same time.He put down the tablet, picked up the cup next to him, and found it was empty. So he stood up and walked to the water dispenser, filled up half a cup of hot water, then took a tea bag and put it in the cup to soak for more than ten seconds, then took it out and put it next to him.
The next screenwriter who came to the studio for an interview was named Dai Heng, who should be a relatively unknown person.Gao Xu looked out from the glass wall and when he saw Dai Heng, he immediately guessed that this person was probably not married yet. Dai Heng was wearing a brand new suit, a white shirt with a small cross collar, and a pair of casual leather shoes that didn't match. The most unpleasant thing about Dai Heng was his long hair, but unlike the image of Ekin Cheng, Gao Xu felt at first glance that Dai Heng was not suitable for that hairstyle. Some hairstyles look good, but they are picky about the face.But these are not problems. Now that the people have arrived, Gao Xu needs to get to know them a little bit.Gao Xu pressed the phone on the desk, "Xiao Yu, ask him to come to the office to meet.""Okay." Xiao Yu said into the phone outside, his voice coming from the desk inside.Dai Heng came in from the door with a bag on his
