My reborn girlfriend is so cute

Chapter 182 Reunion
This is an opportunity to fulfill a dream.

What the editor of Orange Juice conveyed was that the two film and television companies wanted to spend less money on Lu Ming and Xia Mengying.

The excuse is that they need to have one-on-one acting teaching and training for the two of them before entering the crew.

Moreover, it is not sure whether there will be any moths after the filming starts, so I have taken a big risk.

It is also impossible to predict the market reaction after the screening.

But none of that matters anymore.

The reason why Lu Ming agreed was because he didn't own all the copyrights of the novel, and he didn't have enough funds, resources and connections to make movies and TV shows.

His goal is to be able to act in his own novel with Xia Mengying.

This is also Xia Mengying's dream.

If the shooting effect and the market feedback after the screening are good, I will consider setting up a company to make my own film after I have enough funds and experience.

As for the new IP.

Wouldn't it be enough to let Yingying recall a few good movies?

There is still more than half a month and the semester is over.

It was agreed that during the winter vacation, Lu Ming would go to the headquarters of the Magic City Origin Novel Network to discuss the adaptation and filming of the novel with the website and the selected film and television companies.

Lu Ming also thought about being responsible to the readers, so he took full responsibility for the adaptation.

But scripts and novels are two different things.

Interlacing is like a mountain, it's not that easy.

Another important reason is that this novel was given to him by Xia Mengying, and he didn't even finish reading it all, and regularly updated [-] words every day.

Those readers who follow the book know the stories in the novel better than him.

How sad.

After breakfast, after discussion, Lu Ming decided to go to the playground with Xia Mengying for a day, and then watch a love movie in the evening.

Then go home and sleep together.

-

The evening of December 31th.

Lu Ming and Xia Mengying went to their father-in-law's house for New Year's Eve.

Four people, eating while watching the New Year's Eve party, chatting from time to time, very cozy and warm.

"This year's New Year's Eve party is not good, and it feels like it's not as good as it is every year."

Xia Yuanshan sighed, turned his eyes away from the TV, looked at Lu Ming, and said with a smile: "Xiao Lu, your novels are still good. I think the three novels will be finished soon."

"This one……"

"Dad, it's convenient for you to know the story behind it, so just ask the original author?" Xia Mengying smiled sweetly, "Wouldn't it be boring if I said it?"

Xia Yuanshan adjusted his glasses and said with a smile: "I'm bored, I think about it every day, if it ends, I really feel a little unacceptable in my heart."

Li Ying next to him interjected, "Empty? Aren't you thinking about starting a business recently? How can you be empty all day long?"

"Business belongs to business. I have some contacts now, but I have never done business before. In addition, my family situation can only succeed and not fail, so I am very cautious. I am not in a hurry, and I can wait and see."

Xia Yuanshan continued to ask: "Xiao Lu, "Breaking the Sky" should end this month, right? "Dafeng Drummer" and "The Name of the Night" will end next month at the latest? When will the physical books be published? , I will definitely buy the hardcover version and collect it when I come back.”

Seeing that Xia Mengying was about to tease her father-in-law again, Lu Ming hurriedly stopped him, and there was nothing to hide: ""Breaking the Sky" should end within a week, and the other two will also end around mid-January. As for the physical book... It will probably have to wait until next year.”

"Aw... hey..."

Xia Yuanshan sighed deeply: "It's over so soon, you didn't want to write too much, even the number of words is fine."

"Water..." The corners of Lu Ming's brows twitched wildly, his father-in-law was able to learn such a real joke from readers.

"Yeah, I can't bear to see the story end."

"But there is no banquet in the world that lasts forever." Lu Ming expressed helplessness, because he did not write the last two books, and he would not think that he could write novels of this type.

"..."

Seeing Xia Yuanshan's sad expression, Lu Ming said, "However, Uncle Xia, I received a call from the editor today, saying that two film and television companies are talking to the website about the film and television adaptation of "Dafeng Drummer"."

"A film adaptation... is it going to be adapted into a TV series?" Xia Yuanshan and Li Ying were taken aback at the same time.

"Yes, and..."

"Lu Mingming, don't talk about it~"

"Oh."

"You girl, why are you so ignorant!" Li Ying's tone was displeased, "What are you doing to hide such an important and long-faced matter?"

"mom……"

"Speak, Xiao Lu." Xia Yuanshan said, "If Yingying stops her later, I'll spank her."

Lu Ming: "..."

Xia Mengying: "..."

"Cough cough."

Lu Ming eased the embarrassment: "That's right, I made a condition with the website, and Yingying and I will be the leading actors in "Dafeng Drummer"."

"Protagonist?"

"Starring!!!"

"Yeah." Lu Ming nodded, "Don't worry, the plot of the story will be changed. The hero will not have any physical contact with other girls. Even if there is, I will let the double do it."

"What's that!"

"That's what filmmaking is all about!"

"Be professional, not really what's going to happen!"

"And aren't you on the set together?"

"Xiao Lu, we believe in you!"

One word left and one right sentence directly fooled Lu Ming and Xia Mengying.

It seems that there is something wrong with what I said.

The excited father-in-law and mother-in-law calmed down and spoke slowly and steadily.

Xia Yuanshan: "Well, Xiao Lu, your idea is very good, and we think it's okay, but it must not affect the shooting effect."

Li Ying: "Yes, we are a very enlightened family, but..."

"What's the matter, Aunt Li?"

"I just want to ask, when will you film it and when will it be released? I have to tell all my relatives to watch it in front of the TV."

"Uh……"

Xia Mengying pouted her lips and was very upset: "It's still early, we're just starting to talk about it now. If we want to release it quickly, we probably have to wait until next year."

"So long?"

Seeing Xia Mengying turned her head to look over, Lu Ming shook his head: "I'm not very clear. According to past experience, it should be divided into several seasons. After filming, one season will be released. When it will be released, it depends on how the final script is determined. The first How many episodes have you filmed?"

"So this is ah."

The two took a long breath, looking forward and helpless.

"That's right." Li Ying raised her eyes, hesitated for a while, and then asked, "How much will you pay for the film and television adaptation? How many millions?"

Lu Ming still shook his head: "I don't know, but there should be at least 600 million. After all, this book is the most famous and popular among the three books. If the negotiation is good, 2000 million is also possible."

Li Ying nodded: "Xiao Lu, you are really amazing."

But his eyes glanced at Xia Mengying inadvertently.

All the people present noticed this look.

When Xia Mengying just lowered her head, Lu Ming wrapped her arms around her shoulders: "I've always spent money lavishly, and I don't know how to save money, so I will let Yingying help me manage money in the future."

Be silent for a while.

With the laughter on the TV, Xia Yuanshan raised his wine glass and recited a recent New Year's Eve poem.

Several people toasted to celebrate.

Laughter suddenly filled every inch of transparent air in the room.

-

After dinner, Lu Ming sat on the sofa at the side, and Xia Yuanshan's family sat on the sofa in the middle. Everyone chatted while watching the boring New Year's Eve party.

Tonight, Lu Ming didn't plan to go back to the rental house under the kindness of the elders.

Stay here overnight.

However, he didn't dare to sleep in the same room with Xia Mengying.

Of the three bedrooms, he has one alone.

Mom and Dad will also come to Shudu tomorrow.

According to Xia Yuanshan's tone, he wanted to treat them to dinner, and then accompany them for a stroll around Shudu.

No matter how much Lu Ming tried to persuade them, they couldn't dampen their kindness.

Silent all night.

After dinner the next morning, Lu Ming received a call from his mother, saying that he was going to leave.

Looking at the time, it was only a quarter past nine.

It's almost eleven o'clock in Shudu.

After thinking for a while, he decided to go back to the rental house first, let his parents take a look at the place he rented, and then take them to the hotel where they had dinner.

Wait for Lu Ming to leave.

Li Ying called Xia Mengying to the sofa for questioning.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Xia Mengying listened to the sound of the security door closing, and looked at her mother's face full of doubts.

"Yingying, from the beginning of school to now, mom can count the number of times you came back alone with one hand. You really have a boyfriend, so forget about us?" Ying smiled.

"I, I am..."

"Mom doesn't blame you, it's just that your dad and I feel that we have entered your married life ahead of time, so lonely."

"..."

Xia Yuanshan also came out of the bedroom and sat on the other side of Xia Mengying.

He stroked Xia Mengying's hair, but said nothing with a kind smile.

Xia Mengying was extremely nervous. What are you going to do...?

Is it...

Just as she was thinking about it, Li Ying said, "Have you already lived with Xiao Lu?"

"No!" He denied without thinking.

"Yingying, you have been like this since you were a child. When you tell a lie, you feel unnatural, and you show all your emotions on your face."

"I……"

"Then have you taken any measures?"

Xia Mengying's fair face was blushing: "Really not, Dad, Mom, where are you going?"

"No measures have been taken, or no..."

Xia Yuanshan interrupted Li Ying's question with a wave of his hand, and asked softly, "Father believes in you, but you have to answer our questions honestly. How are you getting along this semester?"

Biting his lip.

Calm down the flustered mood as much as possible.

He quietly glanced at the expressions of the two people around him.

There was really no look of scolding and questioning, and his complexion improved a little.

In fact, Xia Mengying's mood is extremely complicated.

Objectively speaking, her mental age is also more than 25 years old, and she is almost 30 years old.

But the physical age is, and the identity is still a freshman.

This made her feel indescribably weird.

In addition, even though she is very old psychologically, she has never been in love in her last life.

Therefore, even if you were asked about such things by your parents in the previous life, you will inevitably feel embarrassed and shy.

Let alone now.

After deliberating for a long time, she finally whispered: "Lu Mingming is a boy with a very upright outlook. He is really not what you think."

Xia Yuanshan and Li Ying looked at each other, a little surprised.

They are already prepared in their hearts.

Hearing what my daughter said now, I don't know why I feel a little empty and a little disappointed...

"Actually...we slept in the same room."

"!!!"

Both eyes are bright.

"However, we didn't do anything excessive."

The two stayed together again.

"So, I think Lu Mingming's idea is that the university will always maintain the current state, not going too far, not crossing the line, and after graduating from university, if, if we are really together, we will consider other things."

After speaking, Xia Mengying breathed a sigh of relief.

In my heart, I have been doing ideological work for myself.

Sleeping in the same bed together is not crossing the line?
Sleeping next to each other is not considered crossing the line?

Kissing, hugging and holding high is not considered crossing the line?
And the big villain is dishonest and doesn't count as crossing the line?

Well, it should be like this.

After about 1 minutes.

The two sighed at the same time.

Xia Yuanshan leaned back on the sofa and murmured happily: "This Xiaolu is really a talent for great things, outstanding, I like it!"

Li Ying pursed her lips and rolled her eyes, finally showing her aunt's smile.

-

It takes only 10 minutes to walk from Ziwei Garden back to the rental house.

Although cold, the weather today is fine.

The sun is shining brightly, it seems that it has rained a little last night, and the ground is a little wet.

If you don't pay attention, you will step on a puddle of water that is glowing with light.

Lu Ming looked at the white Li Ning sneakers.

Although it was wet, the drops of water were like pearls.

Feel happy unconsciously.

Walking all the way home, when he saw a puddle, he would step on it lightly.

It turned out that after entering the room and taking off the shoes, I found that the front ends of the two pairs of white socks were soaked.

After washing his feet, he put on a new pair of white socks, then lay down on the sofa and played the Douyin.

I do not know how long it has been.

The phone vibrated, and the word "Mom" appeared on the screen.

Click to connect to the call.

"Son, we have already arrived in Shudu, and it will take only 10 minutes to get to your rented place."

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you at home."

"Is Yingying here?"

"No, she and Uncle Xia and Aunt Li have to make preparations, and plan to receive you grandly at noon."

"Oh, my in-laws are really polite. I always said that it's fine to eat whatever you want, and it's such a trouble."

"I feel that I owe a lot in my heart, and I feel uncomfortable if I am not grand." Lu Ming laughed.

"Hey……"

"Mom, are you, Dad, and Aunt Huang still getting used to the new home?"

"Adaptation." As soon as this topic was mentioned, my mother's mouth seemed to be opened, "It's better to have a villa, three floors up and down, bright and bright, and your heart is much more open. Your Aunt Huang also said, Especially the kitchen, which is bigger than the living room in the previous suite, she can cook more delicious food."

"That's fine, but—"

"Also, new villas are cheaper. We were lucky. We bought a company that had problems with its capital chain and wanted to sell a villa. It was 20.00% cheaper than the market price! 1000% for a villa worth more than 20.00 million yuan, that's close to 300 million!"

Lu Ming asked, "What about our original villa?"

"It's even bigger! And it turned out that when the villa was sold, we lost 100 million yuan, and we made a profit of 300 million yuan on this one. The price difference is 200 million yuan. arrive!"

"What? Mom, you used the wrong word!"
