Vol 2 Chapter 437: Rainy night

　　 Autumn, the sunset is getting early, at five o'clock in the evening, it has begun to turn from bright to dark, and slowly, the raindrops fall, suppressing the willow leaves that were blown into the sky by the early wind.
Under the lights of Wanjia, the rain curtain was getting bigger and there were cars whistling on the road. The silver line behind the sanitation orange uniform was dazzled by the light. The rain flowed down the body, passed through the arms, reached the fingers, and condensed into larger drops of water. Low, with countless dust attached, united into a piece of sand.
　　 He stood in front of the window, watching the people running wild in the rain, one autumn rain and one cold, he guessed that these people must be shivering. The record player is playing "The Piano Song of the Night", which is also suitable for the external environment at this time. He opened the door and called the sanitation guard. He wanted to let him come in and have a drink by the way, but he was off work by the sanitation guard. He was pushed off for the excuse, and he didn't seem to recognize who Lu Ze was.
　　 As soon as the wind blew, he got goose bumps instantly. Seeing the sanitation refused, he stopped inviting him, closed the door, turned around and turned off the drip coffee on the bar, and poured a cup of coffee to warm himself.
　　 "Boss, is it raining?"
"Ok."
At the corner of the table, she was leaning on the glass and listening to the music. When Lu Ze opened the door, the sound of rain suddenly sounded. She naturally heard clearly. Some worried about how to go back without an umbrella. The reason for asking was just to hear Lu. Ze denied her conjecture and gave an answer that was just a sprinkler in the past, but she was disappointed after all.
She lowered her head, sighed secretly, and her expression became a little sad. Now she can only hope that the rain will stop quickly so that she will not go back too late. She never thought of asking Lu Ze for help. There was no such thing in her mind. She put her ears close to the glass and began to notice the sound of the rain.
　　 She turned to Lu Ze, and Lu Ze didn't pay attention to her facial expression, returned to her seat, opened the file with Mo Xiang, analyzed one by one, and finally signed his name on the file.
　　 The document is in duplicate. It is a contract signed by the male star of "Atonement". When he returns to the UK to hand over the document to Fatini, the contract will become effective, and Lu Ze will formally join the "Atonement" crew.
The script of "Atonement" adapted by Mickey was sent to Lu Ze's mailbox a few days ago. I took the time to look at the script these days. The script is probably the same idea. A lonely elderly killer, Lu Ze never denies this script. Creative, but the plot of the first edition is really clichéd.
But now, after Mickey’s adaptation, the originality of this movie has begun to exude its supposed charm, blending some things worth thinking about, but also making the killer more neurotic and cold-blooded. The character image is very The story is full and three-dimensional, and the story is highly controversial. In general, Lu Ze is very optimistic about the potential of the second edition of Atonement.
But this work is different from Mickey’s own work. It is more commercial and has a stronger ability to attract passersby. The connotation and thinking are not like Mickey’s work. Every small paragraph is worthy of recollection. If Lu Ze is allowed to comment, It can only be said that "Atonement" is a very expected popcorn movie.
The only thing that makes Lu Ze question a little is the assassination method, which is also the key factor that distinguishes "Atonement" from other killer movies. It... is too illusory. To put it bluntly, it is a joke. It goes beyond the guns and cold weapons of the killer movies. This most conventional assassination method is more similar to the weird and seemingly coincidental killing method of "Reaper Is Coming".
In this way, it is difficult for this movie to make the audience's blood spurt, because it is so excited by common forms such as large-scale gunfights. On the contrary, it will have a stronger sense of suspense and make the audience more nervous, even Lu Ze I temporarily forget how to breathe while reading certain passages.
　　 If it is paired with a slow-paced, slightly horrible song, the effect will definitely be more outstanding. Lu Ze can foresee how much shadow area will be caused by the combination of picture and sound in the audience.
　　 If "Atonement" is made, it will definitely be a high-profile movie. If there are no big IP competitors, you can look forward to it at the box office.
　　 This is really attractive to actors like Lu Ze who only earn word-of-mouth but not money. After all, who can earn more in the case of high word-of-mouth, no one will mind.
　　 And the treatment given to Lu Ze in the contract is also very good, two million euros in remuneration, plus an 8% share. Note that it is not a box office share, but a omni-channel revenue share.
　　 Including box office, peripherals, streaming media, etc., a series of 8% of the revenue generated by "Atonement", this price, according to Lu Ze's popularity in Europe, is indeed high.
Even if Lu Ze now has a certain fan base in Europe, and in Europe, the largest number of literary films, a large number of literary film fans have a positive attitude towards Lu Zebao, but looking at the entire market, he still has one Asian actors in the niche market are in an embarrassing position.
If you really give a price insured that meets Lu Ze’s worth, 600,000 euros to 1 million euros are appropriate, and if the box office is divided into a male lead, 8% is quite reasonable, not too much, not too little. .
　　 Is this fatini money and nowhere to spend? Definitely not, it's just that as the assistant director of "Exile", he participated in the filming of "Exile" and he was confident about the choice of this upcoming film. He believed that "Exile" would be popular, so he took the initiative to advance Lu Ze's worth after the release of "Exile".
An explosive movie may make the starring role's worth soaring several times, and even adding a zero to the original pay is not impossible, and according to "Exile", although the possibility of adding a zero is unlikely, it will increase by a hundred and eight. One hundred thousand should not be a problem.
And now that the release of "Exile" is no more than five months at most, it is better to put your attitude right and directly raise the price to 2 million. One is to show that you are eager for talents, and the other is to express your right The respect of Lu Ze’s strength prevents Lu Ze from thinking that his salary will be doubled in five months. There is no need to sign now. After five months have passed, he will ask for the salary at that time, in case it will increase. More than double?
Lu Ze didn’t mind Fatini’s doing this. Friends belong to friends and business belongs to business. The Italians’ attitude towards business also understands Lu Ze very well. In fact, it was a gamble by Fatini. Once "Exile" is rotten, there is a possibility that he will lose money, so the contract is placed here, and it is not impossible to sign it in an attitude of great sincerity in return.
After signing the contract, Lu Ze put it in a kraft paper bag and locked the safe. The CD played on the player was about to be played to the end. Lu Ze got up, took another CD on the shelf and opened it, and just wanted to put it in the player. She was suddenly interrupted.
　　 "Boss, actually I also brought a CD...it's a rare one, so I want you to listen to it, don't mind..."
She brought the CD with the spirit of pure sharing, so she was afraid that Lu Ze felt a little uneasy because she felt that the music in Lu Ze's collection was not good. In fact, this is normal, and some nice niche It is also very pleasant to appreciate works.
She handed the CD over. It was full of Russian, and Lu Ze couldn’t recognize a few words. He took it and took a closer look. The CD seems to be a few years old, and the outer packaging is full of scratches. She turned to look at the barcode. The production date below, produced in 1988, does not look like a pirated CD, it is probably a pocket.
　　 Knocked tapes are genuine CDs that cannot be sold abroad and are processed uniformly. The outer packaging is cut to ensure that they will not enter the market again, and then shipped to China, which was not yet developed, for unified destruction.
Although these discs were not sold abroad for a second time, they were picked up by some China scavengers or vendors who specialize in this during the destruction process and flowed into China's market, becoming the first batch of low-priced copies that appeared on the market. Music CDs, until now, can still be found in the junk market.
In foreign countries, these things are unsalable, but when the entertainment industry was not developed at the beginning, Huaxia has become a sweet pastry. It was bought back by young people who pursued fashion to enjoy it in turn. To a certain extent, slogan is a lot of early Huaxia music. People’s enlightenment teachers, including many well-known rock bands, are on the music path after listening to eloquence.
And Lu Hua had done the garbage disposal of Su Lian many decades ago, so that in the Lu Hua market at that time, this kind of CD was not uncommon in Lu Hua. What are the Beatles, ACDC, Queens , Wait for the CD, now Lu Ze goes home and looks for it. I guess there are a few more copies left.
　　 "Are you mouthing? Ho, Anton Rubinstein, his CD is hard to find."
　　 "Boss, do you know...?"
Had it not been for this CD to be suppressed by a Dutch studio, and if there was a yellowed English note on the back of the CD case, Lu Ze would really not be able to tell from the cover whose work it was. This thing is really rare. Lu Ze didn't come across it either, and she didn't expect to have one in her hand.
　　Although Anton Rubinstein is not unfamiliar, in the eyes of today's piano lovers, he does not stand among the first-line pianists in world piano history.
There are many reasons for this. For example, his brilliance has been concealed by Liszt, and because his composition concept is incompatible with the collective at the time, he has been constantly criticized. In short, his life has not been smooth, and no one would reach out to him when he was impoverished. Since his death, he has rarely been mentioned. It seems that people have forgotten the contributions he, his family, and his students have brought.
His mouthpiece is very rare and precious, at least in Lu Ze's place, so he couldn't help but put his palm on the CD case and wiped it lightly for a while, but it didn't get any effect. It still The cover is full of scratches and the cover is still faded. Fortunately, when you open the box, the disc inside is still as clean as new.
　　 "Would you like to listen?"
He didn't answer her, and even the question was just to deal with it. One second before she answered, he had already sent the CD into the turntable and waited for a moment to run. The top-level speakers restored the sound quality perfectly, without any taste of time. Even Lu Ze knew that this CD could not have been recorded by Anton Rubinstein, but this is the most precious thing. What it brings to people is like... a divine friendship a hundred years apart.
　　 "Romantic Song"
　　 At this time, I need a glass of whiskey, and there should be a glass of whiskey. It should not be too strong, but it needs to be sweet enough for a long time. Therefore, Lu Ze chose a glass for 21 years.
　　 The square whiskey glass slid across the counter top and stopped in his palm. Several ice cubes were picked up and thrown into the glass, making a jingle.
The bottle was opened, and the aroma of the wine had not yet diffused. It was poured into the glass one-third of the height. He picked it up, smelled it lightly, and felt the distinctive aroma of Scotch whiskey. After taking a sip, it was cold at first. Then I felt the taste of the wine itself, it tasted very well, not so spicy.
　　 "This CD is rare, so collect it."
　　 He was holding the wine glass, pulling the stool opposite her and sitting down, the light was dim, and it was shining on the diamond-cut wine glass. It was very beautiful, and the wine body was dyed deeper brown-gold.
"it is good……"
　　 She started to worry. Lu Ze obviously liked the CD, and her brain replenishment skills began to work, and she had been thinking for a while if Lu Ze grabbed love with a sword, she should give it to him for free.
She couldn't see it, and naturally didn't know how to hide her face. What she was thinking was clearly written on her face. Lu Ze didn't interrupt her thoughts either, holding the cup with both hands in an attempt to melt the ice faster. Feeling the flavor of the diluted wine, looking out the window, the rain has not stopped.
　　 "If the boss likes it, you can accept it...I have caused a lot of trouble for you all the time, and I have no way to thank you. This CD...give it to you."
　　 From what she said, she could feel how unwilling she was, but she still gritted her teeth, enduring the throbbing pain of her heart, and pushed the CD case in front of Lu Ze.
　　 "Forget it, it should not be traded, it should be left as a family heirloom, rare things, traded, but not so pure, if necessary, I will borrow from you."
　　 Lu Ze pushed the CD case back. The two argued a few times before stopping. She obediently put it away, not because she pretended not to send it, but Lu Ze did not want to take it.
　　 "Then... Boss, if you need it, just take it."
　　 "We'll talk about it when we need it."
　　 The two were silent for a while before she spoke again: "I didn't expect you to know Anton Rubinstein, boss."
　　 "Well, he is not an unpopular, nor a niche, but it is difficult to find his songs online."
　　 "Really...it was the first time I heard someone talk about him. I thought few people knew about him."
She is not the kind of person who likes to collect her favorite songs, never share them with others, and treat them as treasures, but it is a pity that among the people she knows, few people understand music, and those who know Anton Rubinstein even more. less.

Russia should know a lot. After all, it’s a Russian. The Moscow Conservatory was founded by his younger brother. It’s not easy to be mentioned in the country. Of course, many people have a bad impression of him. After all, he is really not rigid. The details will make many stubborn people dislike him, but someone likes him, for example, I..."
Gradually, the chatterbox was opened, and the two were chatting around the piano giant, but unfortunately, she didn’t know much about Anton, and the amount of knowledge really couldn’t be compared with Lu Ze. In the end, she could only listen to him. When people speak, they just nod their heads from time to time to indicate that they are listening very seriously.
　　 "Boss, you know a lot..."
As time passed bit by bit, she gradually admired Lu Ze. She was a girl who did not have too much knowledge and could not store too much knowledge. Lu Ze was like a huge knowledge treasure house, which not only contained In addition to music knowledge, it also includes a lot of literature, philosophy, and life insights. At this time, in her eyes, the boss who has never met seems to know everything.
　　 In fact, she understands this way. After all, if he really opens the chattering box, an eighty-year-old man can be confused by him, and learn from him how to spend his old age well.
　　 The name of his friend of old women is not just because of his looks to the old people. It has to be able to get along with the old man and the old lady, and let a group of old people look forward to him. Everything can only be achieved by his decision.
　　 In other words, if he really doesn't need an old face, go to the old rich woman, within three days, any old lady in the world can make a secret promise and make a will on the spot to give him the inheritance.
　　 After all, in addition to being able to read people’s hearts, he is also an actor, an extremely abnormal actor...
　　 Then again, old ladies can be coaxed by him, let alone a little girl who has never seen the world? There is no need to act at all, just inadvertently revealing some knowledgeable talents, coupled with the low-pitched tobacco and alcohol subwoofer he has cultivated through years of studying scripts, is enough to make countless girls' hearts.
Her face was a little ruddy, but she was not noticed by Lu Ze under the dim light. She cares about the voice because she can’t pay attention to appearance, so a nice voice can attract her attention, plus she likes to listen to the content , Gradually, she started to get confused without drinking.
　　 may also have something to do with the time the two did not notice. She gradually lowered her head, slowly nestled in her arms, and closed her eyes unconsciously.
　　 "So... fell asleep? Woke up, it's nine o'clock."
　　 "Huh? Sorry boss... I'm a little sleepy, so I fell asleep... Nine... Nine o'clock? No, I have to go back quickly, the school is about to lock the door."
　　 She was a little flustered to pack her things, but in fact there was nothing to pack. Lu Ze didn't answer, just opened the blinds and glanced outside. The rain was particularly noticeable under the street lights.
　　 "The rain hasn't stopped, I'll see you off."
　　 "No need for the boss, I have caused you a lot of trouble, can you lend me an umbrella? I will return it to you tomorrow..."
　　 "With such heavy rain, it is not safe for you to go back as a girl..."
　　 "It's okay, when it rains a lot..."
　　 "Don't refuse, pack things up, I will send you."
　　 His words were very firm. She couldn't hear a little perfunctory tone. She could only lower her head, put her phone back in her bag, took her walking stick, walked to the door, and walked to Lu Ze who was waiting for her at the door.
Locked the door and opened the umbrella. The rain outside was not heavy, but the wind was cool and the two of them were a bit cold, but they kept a safe distance. Only then did Lu Ze discover her supernatural powers. She didn’t need to remind her at all. Although the puddles that can bypass the road are not accurate enough to tread water at all, they will never get the shoes wet. Even if there are some puddles that cannot be bypassed because of the presence of Lu Ze, she can jump over it directly.
She can only remember the distance to the ground, but she didn't know if there was any on the ground. It was another puddle. She stepped on the bag when she crossed it. She slipped on her foot and had to lean back. Luckily, Lu Ze had quick eyes. He hugged her back directly to prevent her from lying directly in the puddle and becoming ugly.
　　 It's just... it's the first time she has been taken over her shoulder.
　　 blushed. It was really red. It was so red that I forgot to say thank you. I just walked forward with my head sullenly. I didn't hope that the road would not be the end, but I hope that the next step is the school gate.
　　 Things are as her wish. A few hundred meters away, she arrived. In the guard room, the security guard stretched out his head, wanting to see the man's face, but he pressed the umbrella very low and did not let the gossip security guard succeed.
"I am leaving."
　　 "Then...bye, boss."
He did not hear the teasing and teasing of her by the security guards, nor did he want to hear about the scandals about her and himself. She is a very clean girl, so in Lu Ze’s view, apart from friends, the two should be with others It has nothing to do with feelings. This is not the first time he sent a girl back to school, but he didn't want to send it again afterwards~EbookFREE.me~ It has nothing to do with whether she can't see it or not.
Holding a black umbrella, he was walking along the streets with no one under the drizzle. As soon as the wind blew, the tail of the unbuttoned trench coat was blown up. He put one hand in his pocket and took out a cigarette from his pocket. , I ignited it in my mouth, and the wind blew again, and the scattered smoke seemed to be pulled by someone, pulling it into a fading line in the air.
At the entrance of the store, the roller shutter door was not electric, and the street light was not bright enough, and the keyway was not found. The car lights parked on the side of the road kindly turned on the high beam. He lifted the iron door, and the rainwater on the upper surface slammed on the umbrella. , He nodded to the man who had been sitting in the car for a long time, but did not ask him why he still did not go home now.
I just opened the door and walked in. The door was not closed. I stood at the door and shook the umbrella that was closed. Then I took a bottle of beer from the cabinet, wrapped it in a plastic bag and placed it at the door, and then closed the rolling door again. .
　　 took off his jacket, walked by the table, picked up the whiskey glass that had just been drunk, and turned his head, a CD lying on the table alone, lonely... it didn't seem appropriate.
　　 "This kid..."
He took it, looked at it, smiled, and put it into the bar. The was still lying lazily on the bar. He picked up the with difficulty, sniffed it with a look of disgust. , Got into the bathroom.
　　 "……"
PS: Suddenly a flash of inspiration (on a whim) I want to make a strategy game. The goal is to find an old lady, and challenge how to successfully make her make a will and leave all the property to the player under the firm opposition of her children. I think this is a good idea. Ah~ Friends who can make galgame games can contact me, I will write the script!
