Nepotism

How do you say so.

Qi Lan didn't even talk back.

One must know that after this person got to know her well, she was very good at speaking, but as long as she paired Liang Bing's dark eyes, she couldn't speak a single word.

Why do people want to find abuse by themselves, let's just drink their own juice honestly.

When Ning Xuan and Yu Tang arrived at the water color, it was already dusk, and the clouds in the west seemed to be inlaid with a layer of gold, and they were slowly dispersing with the setting sun.

Ning Xuan pushed open the door, and her eyes fell on Qi Lan in front of the bar, which made her smile unconsciously.

"Okay, now the servants are here."

Qi Lan followed Liang Bing's words and looked back, only to see Ning Xuan standing squarely behind her.

The two of you looked at me and I looked at you, and Liang Bing greeted them and pushed them from the water-colored front hall to the backyard.

The front is for entertaining guests, and the back is for entertaining friends, Liang Bing said long ago.

Dusk and morning are the shortest time in this world.

Ning Xuan walked into Shuise in the twilight of the sunset, and now, in just a moment, the night has already enveloped the entire city.

Liang Bing did not entertain them with cocktails today, but opened a bottle of 95-year-old Lafite.

"82 is the treasure of my old man, and he refused to let me bring it here. 95 is also an excellent year for Bordeaux grapes, and the time is just right. Let's open a bottle and have a taste." Pour wine into glass.

Although Qi Lan is not a connoisseur of wine, she also knows some basics, just by looking at the beautiful wall hangings.

Yu Tang picked up a cup casually, swishing it in front of his eyes, watching the bright red liquid in the cup smudge into beautiful ripples,

"I see you just think bartending is too much trouble and want us to drink what's ready."

After Liang Bing handed the wine glass to Qi Lan and Ning Xuan, he picked up his own glass and gently bumped it against the wall of Yu Tang's.

"Sure enough, I know me very well." Liang Bing said with a smile.

The four of them sat down where they felt comfortable.

"Happy finale." Qi Lan smiled and clinked glasses with Ning Xuan.

Ning Xuan is full of ambition.

"My little Xuan'er is in trouble now. You left long ago and didn't see Song Dao's later appearance, so you almost lifted him up to the sky. In Song Dao's own words, she is so kind, responsive, and quality guaranteed." It's hard to find a screenwriter these days." Yu Tang said with a smile.

Qi Lan was unmoved, "It depends on how much mess Ning Xuan has cleaned up for Director Song."

This is true, because most of the young people in their crew, the atmosphere is quite harmonious, but there is a mixed bag of good and evil, China Film and Tiansheng two major entertainment companies have stepped in, and there is a faint shadow of Tianyi to support Qi Lan , the situation is also very complicated. It is not easy for Ning Xuan and Song Dao to rely on their own abilities to achieve a satisfactory result for all parties.

Yu Tang nodded and said, "But with Director Song's words, Xuan'er can be regarded as a good screenwriter in the industry in the future, with a bright future. But then again, how are you? You're right."

Qi Lan just pursed her lips and smiled, "Thank you, my funds have been properly raised, and I will enter the song selection stage next."

Yu Tang looked dejected, "No girl, are you serious?"

Qi Lan nodded seriously.

"It's like throwing money into the water in your hand. If it's okay, at least you can hear it. You are a bottomless pit, and it can't be filled." Yu Tang said angrily.

Qi Lan knows all of these things, and even as an insider, Qi Lan, who has experienced the Great Depression of the record market and repeatedly encountered obstacles in it, knows better than everyone else what kind of path he insists on.

"Some things can't be bought before." Liang Bing said for Qi Lan what she didn't have time to say.

Yu Tang gave them a white look.

Liang Bing and Qi Lan clinked glasses in front of Yu Tang, as if applauding each other.

Ning Xuan, who had been a little silent after entering the door, suddenly said at this moment: "I have already thought about it before, and I don't want to accept a new script for the time being. I want to think carefully about my own work."

Apart from Liang Bing being an outsider, Yu Tang and Qi Lan are all working hard in the entertainment industry. They have just finished filming an idol drama, so they know better what Ning Xuan's words just mean. .

Yu Tang shook his head helplessly, "Yeah, another idiot."

Yu Tang will be an actor in the future, and she knows what is fundamental to promote the establishment of a film and television project.

There is no doubt that it is the market.

Glossy stars, gorgeous post-production special effects, and an eye-catching script.

The first two can be solved by spending money. Only the last one is completely unguaranteed for investors and depends on luck. This is the risk of originality. On the contrary, some IP dramas have no such problems at all. A novel that can form an IP is itself a choice of the market, which means that it has helped investors do a market research in advance, so everyone is willing to do a business that will not lose money.

If Ning Xuan just wants to be a profitable screenwriter, then just choose a project to adapt these ready-made novels. Now that she has Director Song, I believe many directors are willing to try to cooperate with her, but if she When it's time to switch to original work, she will give up a broad avenue and insist on taking a dirt road to work hard.

Yu Tang didn't try to persuade Qi Lan, and now he was gearing up to see if he could make the other lamb know how to go astray, but Qi Lan didn't give Yu Tang a chance to speak this time.

She knows that with Ning Xuan's character, it is impossible to make a decision without thinking, and once a choice has been made, the stage of analyzing the pros and cons is no longer necessary. Ning Xuan now only needs encouragement and support.

Qi Lan put the wine glass in her hand aside. She felt that the power of words was weak, so she gave Ning Xuan a hug. This was what Qi Lan wanted so much all the way. She never got it, so now she hopes that Ning Xuan Xuan can have.

Ning Xuan was held in Qi Lan's arms, the familiar temperature and Qi Lan's smell wrapped Ning Xuan up, and this feeling made her feel extremely at ease.

Yu Tang still didn't give up, and wanted to say something more, but was pulled aside by Liang Bing.

"Hey, why are you pulling me?" Yu Tang looked back at the other party dissatisfied.

"I think you're in the way." Liang Bing said while taking a sip of the wine in his glass.

She, in the way?Yu Tang was not convinced.

Yu Tang felt that Liang Bing was sometimes weird.

Liang Bing was talking with Yu Tang, when he raised his eyes to see a pair of mandarin ducks standing there facing each other.

"You will succeed." Qi Lan encouraged Ning Xuan.

"We all know it." Ning Xuan raised her head, and there seemed to be a little bit of starlight shining in her eyes.

Today's weather is good, the moon and the stars are unobstructed.

This night is really arousing infinite reverie in people's hearts. Qi Lan took a deep breath, sat down and spoke first: "I hope we will not regret it when we look back on today after a few years."

After Qi Lan finished speaking, she raised her wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.

With Qi Lanzhuyu in front, Yu Tang also raised her wine glass and opened her mouth. She pointed to the dazzling array of billboards standing among the high-rise buildings in the water-colored backyard and said with a smile: "I hope you will look over from here again in the future." , that's all about me."

Although he didn't mention the name by name, everyone present knew that the words were addressed to Liang Bing.

As for the person involved, like a cat, he hooked his fingers at Ning Xuan without even raising his eyelids, "What about you, A Xuan."

"Me?" Ning Xuan pointed to the tip of her nose.

Liang Bing nodded, "That's right."

"I hope that I can write the most moving stories, even after many years, people will still talk about them and have endless aftertastes."

When Ning Xuan said this, her eyes sparkled, as if Qi Lan had seen her former self.

Yu Tang's eyes kept on Liang Bing's body, and finally she touched Liang Bing's arm lightly, and said to her: "Now it's time to talk about you, busy man.".

Seriously, these young artists are not as famous as Liang Bing and this bar.The predecessor of Shui Se was a prestigious coffee shop, and with Liang Bing, a young and beautiful owner, it naturally became a new gathering place for young people.

After listening to Yu Tang's words, Liang Bing was silent for a moment, "I want someone who can share my loneliness."

Satisfied, Yu Tang Zhi pointed to his nose, "Is this person me?"

What she got instead was Liang Bing's contemptuous gaze. She shook her finger, "No. You think too much."

A burst of laughter.

As midnight approached, the party ended and they each went home.

Ning Xuan doesn't need to go back to the set, she can go back to her long-lost home, but this time is different from usual, she has a companion, she has a very close partner.

When the two returned to the Champs Elysees, the entire neighborhood had basically fallen into a deep sleep, and there were few lights lit up.

Qi Lan and Ning Xuan walked side by side. Ning Xuan's hand was in her pocket, which made Qi Lan lose the chance to hold her. The two talked a lot along the way, about the crew, about the future, and about the friends on the set. , even about the landlady.

Qi Lan never pretends in front of acquaintances. When she talks about being happy, she might laugh wantonly, while Ning Xuan is always smiling and quiet, but in those tea crystal-colored eyes, it seems that she can see to the joy in the depths of her soul.

When the two of them walked to the gate of the community, Qi Lan accidentally noticed a white off-road vehicle.

Although he doesn't have much research on cars, Qi Lan can tell whether it's good or bad at a glance.

This is not a car that should be parked here. It has been nearly half a month since Qi Lan moved here, and he has never seen it.

There was some suspicion in her heart, but Qi Lan still looked away and went upstairs with Ning Xuan.

The two stepped out of the elevator room together, and met the person in front of them unexpectedly.

Coincidentally, both of them knew this person.

Lin Fangyi.
