1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 665 Looking west to Chang'an, there is Wu Tianming
"Why do you have time to come to the capital?" Luo Tao was slightly surprised to see the visitor.

I saw him with a strong body, a weathered and dark old face, and the most simple smile. He was holding something in both hands.

He did not reply to Luo Tao's question first, but first handed the things he was carrying to Luo Tao, "Here, these are the good things we brought specially for you from Chang'an."

Luo Tao took the things and asked suspiciously: "What good things are they? So heavy?" As soon as the things were in his hands, Luo Tao felt that both sides were heavy.

There is a bag sewn from black cloth and a large black handbag, but I can't guess what's inside?
Then I thought about it, when guests come to the door, you can't stand at the door chatting all the time!Greeted him into the house.

The two walked and chatted.

"The black cloth bag contains millet from our place, as well as several kilograms of black rice. There are several kilograms of peeled walnuts in the bag, as well as green tea and Codonopsis pilosula. By the way, I also brought you two bottles of Xifeng ." Finally, he gestured with his hand, emphasizing that it was a ten-year-old wine.

"Old Wu, you can come just as you say! Why bring so many things? It's too expensive."

He smiled and said, "You have taken such good care of us in the past few years, so we can't come to see you empty-handed." The wrinkles on his face could not hide the simplicity and innocence in his body.

This is enough for Lao Wu to learn from Lao Ma for a lifetime. In so many years, he has brought gifts twice to his door: the first time he came to the door, and the first time he brought his wife to the door.

Luo Tao called Sister He and asked her to take all these things to the kitchen.

"Knowing that you are lacking everything here, I thought of bringing you some of our local specialties for you to try."

Luo Tao thanked him for a while.

Over the years, Luo Tao has received local specialties from Chang'an every year from Wu Tianming. Others also send them, but none like Lao Wu.

There is another person in Xishaan who is more practical than Wu Tianming and that is Lu Yao. Everyone else sends food and drinks, but he is the only one who sends letters to Luo Tao. Sometimes he also brings a handful of loess. I don’t know how the postman can help him mail it. of.

Pouring tea for him, "I've heard a little bit about you. I can't say who is right or wrong. I think it's a good thing that you stepped down from the position of director of Xiying Film Studio."

Lao Wu is just too idealistic and naive. He could have avoided the reporter's interview not long ago and ignored it.

"Maybe?" He looked gloomy and lonely when he mentioned this matter.

Anyone who stepped down from the position of director of West Film Studio overnight would be depressed, not to mention that West Film Studio began to prosper under his hands. West Film Studio was like his child. It is more or less difficult to leave now. Abandon.

"Old Wu, from now on! Just concentrate on making movies and don't think about it. God has assigned you to the movie path, so you should follow this path well and ignore other things."

Listening to what Luo Tao said, he thought for a while, "You are right, I will concentrate on making movies from now on."

"You are right to think so. Wait until next year and I will tell you that it would be a pity for such an excellent director like you not to continue making movies."

He laughed and said, "Don't speak for us. We all know about your affairs in Chang'an. You are more difficult than us. We understand your feelings in our hearts."

After hearing what he said, Luo Tao was ready to criticize him.

Wu Tianming continued: "We have already booked a plane ticket to Chou Country the day after tomorrow. We plan to go out and have a look and learn about Western film art."

Luo Tao was surprised by his decision, "Old Wu, it wouldn't be..." When he thought of his matter, the next words came to his lips and he swallowed them.

I had to ask: "Are you going alone? Or are you going as a family?"

"Both go."

After hearing his reply, Luo Tao sighed. History keeps repeating itself and it never changes. He respects Lao Wu's choice.

No job, no qualifications, no old friends, no everything in the past.

[If you laugh, the whole world will laugh with you; if you cry, you will be the only one in the world crying. 】

At this time, it might be a good choice for him to go out for a walk and take a look.

Luo Tao would not stop him because he believed that Wu Tianming traveled across the ocean to pursue art.

Asked if he had exchanged green coins, he smiled a little and said: "In addition to visiting your family today, I just want to trouble you to exchange some."

Luo Tao heard that this man was really big-hearted and didn't even know how to exchange some money when he went out. All the uncles in the capital knew that they needed to exchange some green coins in advance to see their grandson in Chou Country.

He laughed dumbly and asked him again: "Besides studying in Chou Country, did you find anything to do in advance?"

Luo Tao didn't want Lao Wu to go to Chou Country and wash dishes every day to earn the family's living expenses. After all, he was an artist. Don't go out and become a dishwashing artist.

Of course, it is not shameful to become a self-reliant dishwashing artist. What is really shameful is that the money earned at home is spent abroad, and it is called to better "broadcast" Chinese culture.

"I received an invitation to give lectures there a few days ago. I didn't think about anything else. There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. I just took it one step at a time."

"I think it's not that you haven't considered it, but that you want to leave quickly."

After Luo Tao finished speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled. Wu Tianming said: "We have not known each other for a long time, but we have a very good temperament. You can guess exactly what we are thinking."

He also advised Luo Tao: "If you have nothing to do, you can also go for a walk."

Luo Tao politely declined his kindness. Others could leave, but he couldn't just leave. A person should still have some conscience.

Let him eat a potluck at noon.

"We are hosting a host at Xichang House in Houhai tonight. You, your sister-in-law, and your children are all coming." Luo Tao said before leaving, holding Wu Tianming's hand.

He nodded his head and thanked him. Seeing that this northwest man was about to shed emotional tears, Luo Tao quickly said: "Don't say thank you."

"Keep this call. Don't refuse. It's not safe over there, just in case. If anything happens, just call me and mention my name. There's nothing that can't be solved over there."

This is not Luo Taobao's fault. Ever since they connected with Morgan through the sale of Gao Tong's shares, Fuxing and Morgan Stanley have become increasingly close in the past two years. Fuxing wants to integrate into the circle of world capital, while Morgan Stanley wants to return to its peak and recreate the past. As an economic overlord, everyone gets what they need.

We hit it off immediately, helping each other, making progress, and achieving win-win cooperation.

The cooperation in the past two years has been very good. They have helped Xichang control almost all the lifeblood of agriculture and light industry in the southeastern countries. Fuxing, in turn, has also helped them control more than 60.00% of the banking industry in Britain.

Their interests rarely collide with each other, and they enjoy working together. Recently, they have been preparing to play with Sony.

Naturally, Luo Tao would not directly give Morgan's contact information to Wu Tianming. What he gave him was just the person in charge of Fuxing in Chou Country.

Old Wu took it without even looking at it, and held it tightly with his big hands.

"Thank you!" Bowed to Luo Tao and his wife.

Luo Tao quickly picked up his already bent waist, "Old Wu, what are you doing? Friends should help each other!"

"I..." He wanted to say a few words of thanks to Luo Tao and his wife.

Luo Tao patted his thick shoulder and said, "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and go back to the hotel to see your sister-in-law and children."

Send Wu Tianming away.

"I asked, why don't you keep Lao Wu in the capital to continue filming the documentary?"

Luo Tao rolled his eyes at her. This wife's IQ fluctuated. "What do you know?" He ignored her and returned to the study.

Last year, I filmed a [-]-episode documentary about Beijing’s food. It was originally intended to be broadcast on CCTV, but due to some irresistible forces, the film was never released.

Just have to wait.

However, CTV has scheduled to broadcast this documentary at the end of this month.As long as the response is good, it can be tested in Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asian countries.

After the documentary was filmed, Wu Tianming returned to the West Film Studio, and was fired by the West Film Studio after a disappointing interview.

Lao Mouzi went to co-produce a movie with someone, but there has been no contact.

Luo Tao doesn't want to have too much contact with these people. It's true that they are all unclean, so don't let him get hurt when the time comes.

To be honest, they are not as good as the old horse. The old horse has a keen sense of smell, he can make troubles, he doesn't make troubles, and he knows how to advance and retreat. He is much better than them.

Otherwise, Lao Ma would not have become the director of China's first private museum.

In the study, Luo Tao called his friend at the bank.

"Hey, Old Wei! I'm Luo Tao."

"I know it's you. If you have anything to say, tell me immediately. I'm busy here."

Their bank is indeed very busy these days, but it doesn't make him, the person in charge, so busy that he doesn't even have time to chat a few words.

However, Luo Tao is also very aware now. He knows the priorities and does not tease him. He directly says to him: "Can you exchange some green coins for me?"

"How many?"

"Twenty thousand."

"What? My God of Wealth, are you kidding me? You still need to give me a call for [-] green coins."

If the person who said this was replaced by someone else, Wei Zhanzhang would still be calm. But now the person who said this is Luo Tao. If it weren't for his identity, he would really want to curse.

"Aren't you making fun of me?"

"Don't worry! I need to use this money immediately. I don't need your accommodation for the procedures at the counter."

After listening to Luo Tao's explanation, Director Wei said there was no problem and he would handle it as soon as he arrived.

Luo Tao expressed his thanks, "When you have time, let's taste the delicious food together."

"Then I'll be waiting." He didn't refuse, and also revealed that you wanted to treat me to dinner, and I would be available at any time.

……

The two families got together to talk and laugh at dinner.

When it was almost over, Luo Tao took Wu Tianming to a place where no one was around.

He took out the [-] green coins he had just taken out, wrapped it in two envelopes, and forced it into his hand, "Take this money."

"Don't say anything. A poor family has a rich life. Bring more money just in case."

Wu Tianming was moved to tears by Luo Tao's true feelings, "I really don't know how to thank you, I..."

"Don't say these useless things. Go out and study. Remember to come back. When they don't need you, just make a movie for me. I think they can still take care of it." Luo Tao said domineeringly.

Wu Tianming slapped his chest and said extremely seriously: "We will make movies for you from now on. If you don't keep your word, you will be a coward."

This is a man from the northwest who speaks every word and spits out his words.

As long as he makes a promise, he will definitely fulfill it.

On May [-], Wu Tianming and his family boarded a plane to Chou Country.

"Take care along the way!" The two pairs of big hands clasped together and said to each other to take care of each other.

"Take care of yourself too."

Looking at Wu Tianming going away, Luo Tao felt that this might be the most glorious era of Xi Film Studio, and then walked towards dusk.

The day after Wu Tianming left, the person in charge of Xiying Studio called.

I thought to myself that they have a really good sense of smell. When someone walks in front, their phone will follow behind.

After answering the phone and chatting for a few minutes, he got to the point. He also explained to Luo Tao in a roundabout way that Wu Tianming's resignation was a personal issue for him.

This is self-inflicted.

However, Luo Tao didn't want to argue with them about this matter. It had already happened, so there was no point in talking about it.

"Director Zhang, please worry too much. Wu Tianming and I are just friends. I also understand his affairs. There is no need for you to explain to me. If you really want to explain to him, you should go to your superior unit. Lead I."

Luo Tao didn't talk nonsense to him, nor did he give him a chance to interrupt, and continued: "Don't worry, Xichang supports the Xiying Film Studio with funds to train young directors. There will be a lot of money in the future."

"Thank you very much. Our factory is now..."

He talked about a lot of difficulties. Luo Tao thought about what these have to do with me. I am not your leader.

"Director Zhang, I'm sorry! I have an important meeting to attend later, so I won't accompany you."

When he heard that Luo Tao was going to attend an important meeting, how dare he delay Luo Tao's time. "Hey...you are busy."

After hanging up the phone, they were both cursing at each other.

Both of them also said an idiom: The villain succeeds.

Zhang Factoryzi walked into a small conference room. The three people who were originally sitting in it quickly stood up and asked, "Director, what did Mr. Luo say?"

Director Zhang cast him a glance, Mr. Luo?Just as you called him dear, he replied without salt or coldness: "What can he say? The funds to support young directors will remain unchanged."

Regarding this result, the man breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems that Mr. Luo still approves of our work in training young directors."

The people on the side saw Director Zhang's changing expression and quickly came out and said, "Director Chen, if there is nothing else, let's go back to work and not disturb the factory director and deputy director Liu as they discuss work."

Director Chen just thought he was right and followed his words and went out together.

Wait for them to leave.

"This Chen Weijie is quite good at flattering people." Deputy Director Liu said, who had been silent.

He meant what he said to Director Zhang, or maybe he figured out what Director Zhang was thinking, and used his own words to say what Director Zhang wanted to say.

"It would be great if he could really curry favor with Luo Tao and get another 10 yuan in support funds for our factory." Director Zhang not only did not belittle Chen Weijie, but was also full of hope for his currying favor.

In May, the two pomegranate trees in the courtyard bloomed with more than 200 bright red flowers.

This number was summed up by Xiao October and his sister counting all morning long.

When Luo Tao has nothing to do, he likes to sit under the grape trellis and admire the thought-provoking red pomegranate flowers. He wants to see through the red flowers to see if they have grown fruits in advance.
