Exciting 1979!

Chapter 376 The Three of Us (Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
Zhu Lin blinked: "Do you really have to watch?"

"I've never seen this before, let me broaden my horizons."

Zhu Lin put his hand on his waistband: "You can't pee if you keep staring at me."

Gong Xue understood. Once, when she was urinating, Zhu Lin entered the bathroom, and she stopped abruptly, only continuing after Zhu Lin left.

"Then I can turn around, right?"

Gong Xue turned around, and Zhu Lin was just about to take off her clothes when she suddenly exclaimed "Ah!"

Gong Xue quickly turned around: "What happened? You've given birth!"

"Give birth to you, you big-headed ghost!"

"Is that bleeding?" Gong Xue asked worriedly. "Otherwise, why would there be blood?"

"She's on her period!" Zhu Lin asked Gong Xue to hand her a sanitary napkin.

At that time, the first sanitary napkin factory in China had already started construction, but it had not yet started production. After the two met Wei Ming, they bought foreign brands from the Friendship Store.

Gong Xue sighed, "So, does that mean we can only wait until our relatives have left before taking the test?"

Zhu Lin laughed and tapped Gong Xue's head with the stick: "I've already had my period, which means I'm not pregnant, so why bother testing?"

"I see," Gong Xue said, putting the pregnancy test away. "Then I'll keep it for myself from now on; it's quite expensive."

Zhu Lin was filled with anxiety. If she were pregnant, she would feel sorry for Gong Xue and feel terrible. If Gong Xue were pregnant, she would feel terrible too.

Just then, they heard Wei Ming's voice downstairs. They weren't surprised, as they had already seen his luggage.

Zhu Lin grinned mischievously, "How about we tease him a bit?"

“Why, tell him you’re pregnant and make him choose?” Gong Xue pouted. “Why make things difficult for him? Xiao Wei didn’t want this either; he’s had a hard time.”

Hearing Xiaoxue's words, Zhu Lin gave her a thumbs up. "You're such a sweet little cotton-padded jacket for this bad boy. Not to mention men, even I'm smitten."

"But we can't let him be too comfortable." Zhu Lin insisted on teasing the naughty boy.

Just then, Wei Ming's footsteps approached, and Zhu Lin quickly tidied herself up. Before Wei Ming pushed the door open and came in, she was still showing half of her buttocks.

"What are you doing?" Wei Ming asked, puzzled, looking at the scene before him. "Sister Xue, why do you have a habit of watching people use the toilet?"

Gong Xue blushed deeply and said, "Who's looking at her? We're testing something."

Wei Ming recognized the old-fashioned pregnancy test and glanced at it nervously: "What... what's the result?"

Zhu Lin pulled up his pants: "But then I got my period."

Upon hearing the news, Wei Ming breathed a sigh of relief but also felt a little regretful. Having never been a father in his two lives, he was genuinely curious about what it would feel like.

Gong Xue asked, "Why did you suddenly come to Shanghai?"

Wei Ming: "I thought you two were both in Shanghai right now, and it's been a long time since our family of three got together, so I came. But I have to go to Guangzhou the day after tomorrow, and then to Hong Kong for the movie premiere."

After washing his hands, Zhu Lin said, "You came just in time. In a few days, Xiaoxue will be going to Suzhou to film 'Love in the Brush'."

"When I arrived at noon, I glanced into the study, and Sister Xue's calligraphy had become even more elegant and refined, reminiscent of the Wei and Jin dynasties," Wei Ming praised.

"Everyone in the crew worked very hard, and I didn't want to be outdone by them." Gong Xue then talked about their training period and introduced the actors' situations.

It can be said that she is the only big star. The two male leads, Xiao Bailong and Tang Sanzang, are both newcomers. When the movie is released, they will rely on her to sell tickets.

The actors at Shanghai Film Studio seem to be in low spirits lately. Gong Xue from Beijing Film Studio was chosen for "Love in the Brush," and Li Xiuming from Beijing Film Studio has been confirmed for Xie Jin's new film "Qiu Jin."

Apart from Zhang Yu, the Shanghai Film Studio is somewhat lacking in young actresses.

Since all three of them had eaten, it was time for them to rest.

Zhu Lin deliberately said, "Xiao Xue and I have been sleeping together these past two days, but since you're here and it's inconvenient for me, I'll go next door."

Seeing that she was about to leave, Wei Ming, emboldened by lust, grabbed her arm and then looked at Gong Xue: "Sister Xue, look at this bed, it's so long and wide, three people won't feel cramped."

Gong Xue knew Zhu Lin was teasing the silly boy, and finally nodded in agreement: "Alright, let's go together."

Seeing that Gong Xue had actually agreed, Wei Ming excitedly went to wash up and asked Sister Lin to help him with the massage tonight!

When he came out, the two had already changed into their pajamas and were lying in bed. They even left space for him in the middle. It was so thoughtful and pleasing to the eye.

Even in my past life, when I lived a carefree life, I had never eaten anything this good.

Wei Ming, lying between the two, still felt a little incredulous, as if he had reached the pinnacle of his life.

He put his arm around their necks, letting them rest their heads on his strong arms, then kissed one and rubbed against the other.

"There's something else I wanted to tell you all during this trip." Wei Ming then talked about how the Journey to the West production team had visited him three times to invite him to be their consultant.

"It's a pity that 'Dream of the Red Chamber' didn't approach me, otherwise I would have directly recommended you two to play Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai," he added.

Zhu Lin patted him lightly: "Do you think I haven't read 'Dream of the Red Chamber'? Those female protagonists are all teenage girls, not like Daiyu and Baochai."

This is an irreparable regret. If the two were ten years younger, they would have been the perfect match, Daiyu and Baochai.

Gong Xue laughed and said, "Journey to the West is also very good. When I was a child, my mother and I watched 'Havoc in Heaven' several times. Sun Wukong is my eternal hero."

Wei Ming asked with a smile, "Do you have any Journey to the West roles you'd like to play? I have the power to make arrangements for you now."

Seeing that the two were silent, Wei Ming continued, "Don't underestimate TV dramas. At present, the influence of TV dramas can't compare with that of movies. However, I believe that after 'Journey to the West' comes out, there will be almost no movies or TV dramas that can match the influence of 'Journey to the West'."

The reason I say "almost" is because of the movie "Shaolin Temple".

Gong Xue asked, "It seems you have high hopes for this drama."

Wei Ming said, "That's right. There are only over ten million TV sets in China right now. Once this drama is finished, there will be at least sixty or seventy million sets. That means it will affect at least two or three hundred million viewers. And if it's well-made, it can be broadcast every year. Maybe viewers all over the country will see this drama. The key is that I'm here. With me here, this drama will definitely be a masterpiece."

Of course, it's the same without him.

Wei Ming added, "I've already convinced Liu Xiaoqing; she's agreed to play the White Bone Demon."

The news surprised the two women. Zhu Lin said, "We will definitely support you as an advisor, but there are many female demons in Journey to the West. Do you think I am more like a female demon, or Xiaoxue?"

Wei Ming: "Who said there are only female demons? There are also goddesses and immortals. There are also good people among mortals, such as the Queen of the Women's Kingdom."

Wei Ming's true intentions were revealed when he finally revealed his true purpose: to get Zhu Lin to take on the role of the Queen of the Women's Kingdom.

In the future, she will be able to become as famous as Gong Xue, who is popular all over the country, and it can be said that 80% of the reason is because of the sentimentality of this role.

In fact, in her previous life, Sister Lin did achieve more in television dramas and even won the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actress. However, she was far inferior to the actresses who won both the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards for Best Actress in film.

"The Queen of the Women's Kingdom?"

Zhu Lin recalled this passage from the novel, where the couple practically pounced on Tang Sanzang, actively pulling him and forcibly forcing him into marriage. In the end, feeling ashamed, they hastily ended the relationship.

"You little Wei, so that's how you see me~"

Wei Ming quickly kissed Sister Lin and coaxed her, "TV series also need to be adapted and beautified to a certain extent. The director said that the Queen of the Women's Kingdom is different from the one in the original novel, and this tribulation can be called the most difficult of the eighty-one tribulations."

Wei Ming explained the plot of the TV series version of the Women's Kingdom to Zhu Lin. This was also the creative idea of ​​Yang Jie and the two screenwriters, to let Tang Sanzang go through a love affair and add a human touch to the holy monk.

Upon hearing Wei Ming's explanation, Zhu Lin finally became interested.

Then Gong Xue was in a dilemma: who should I play?

In fact, besides the Queen of the Women's Kingdom, only Guanyin Bodhisattva can be considered the female protagonist in "Journey to the West".

Wei Ming does admire Xue Jie's cosplay of Guanyin, but her face shape is unlikely to be the Guanyin image in the director's mind. After all, there have been many statues of Guanyin since ancient times, none of which have an oval face.

As Gong Xue was thinking about which role she could play in Journey to the West, Wei Ming's hands were already getting restless under the covers.

That's true. With two of them lying next to me, I can't touch one of them, so I can only do it to myself.

But do you think I can touch it?

At first, Wei Ming was being secretive, but later he stopped trying to hide it from others. Zhu Lin said from the side, "Hey, it's only a little past eight o'clock, why are you in such a hurry?"

Wei Ming: "Go to bed early and get up early, I'll go to Jueyuan Garden tomorrow."

Zhu Lin: "Should I turn off the lights for you?"

Wei Ming: "I don't really care, but if Sister Xue is shy..."

Gong Xue: "Turn off the lights!"

Zhu Lin slowly went to turn off the light, and then heard rustling sounds until Wei Ming suddenly exclaimed, "Huh?"

Zhu Lin laughed out loud and moved Wei Ming's clothes aside, saying he wouldn't let him wear them later.

Gong Xue said regretfully, "Actually, I also had my period, and it hasn't completely ended yet."

Wei Ming's plan to ask Sister Lin to help push things tonight completely failed. Actually, he usually keeps track of the dates for them, but he was too hasty today. This shows how accurate the phrase "lust makes one lose their mind" is.

He was about to put his underwear on when he realized that Sister Lin had confiscated it. Oh well, whatever.

"Hey, actually I didn't think that way. I'm already content just being able to quietly chat with you guys," Wei Ming said helplessly, but it was also the truth. If it weren't for the fact that the two of them were both inconvenient, the three of them wouldn't have had this opportunity to lie together.

It's only eight o'clock now, we can chat for a few more hours.

In the darkness, the two of them held Wei Ming in their arms, their eyes sparkling, their little mouths chattering incessantly, even telling some embarrassing stories from their childhood.

Zhu Lin and Gong Xue had told Wei Ming some things, and the two of them had talked about some things, but Wei Ming didn't know that now that all three of them were there, even though they were talking about the same topics, it felt different because of the extra person. It became more interesting, and they kept laughing.

The principle is probably that a life for two people is not as vibrant as that for a family of three.

If one or two more babies came, I don't know how lively and fun it would be.

However, they tacitly avoided mentioning what happened between Wei Ming and Melinda in Frankfurt.

They may have already accepted that once Xiao Wei went abroad, he belonged to Melinda, and they had no way to effectively defend against it.

Moreover, Xiao Wei's overseas business also needs a professional like Melinda.

~
The next day, Gong Xue was the first to wake up. Looking at the highest point of the blanket, she thought, "Hmm, Xiao Wei is half awake."

It must be really tough. He should be fine before he leaves tomorrow. Just bear with it a little longer.

When she finished making breakfast and came to call the two of them, she found that they were also awake, cuddling and nuzzling each other, their heads inside the blankets and only their four legs sticking out.

She came over and patted me on the shoulder: "Time for breakfast."

Then she was pulled in too, and now she has six legs.

After fooling around for more than half an hour, their breakfast got cold, and they finally sat down at the table with their hair all messy.

Wei Ming was secretly pleased, but Gong Xue and Zhu Lin were already worried about whether they could really break off the agreement when the three-year agreement came to an end.

Or is there perhaps a way to ensure that no one gets hurt?
Gong Xue was going to the Shanghai Film Studio in the morning, but Zhu Lin could take the day off, so Wei Ming asked her to accompany him to visit the old house at No. 2 Jueyuan, which she hadn't seen before.

Upon arrival, Zhu Lin realized what a wealthy family's house truly meant. He exclaimed, "This is far more luxurious than Xiaoxue's house! This courtyard is so big, you could play football there!"

It's certainly not as big as a standard football field, but it's still quite pleasant for parents to play football with their children on a grassy field.

Wei Ming said, "My aunt said that there are some valuables buried here before my great-aunt's family left, but she didn't tell me where they are. I'll have to ask her when I go to Hong Kong this time."

"How are your great-aunt's family doing in America?"

“Giving away such a big house like that, it must be really nice,” Wei Ming said. “It’s just that without children, they might feel a bit empty.”

Zhu Lin nodded to herself, determined to have a child of her own. Last time, the timing, position, and amount of sex were all perfect, so why didn't she get pregnant?

Thinking of her child, she felt a renewed urge to take the adventure.
The two had lunch at the Peace Hotel. Although it wasn't good value for money, it was less crowded and mostly frequented by foreign guests, which helped them avoid being mobbed by movie fans, so they were willing to pay a little more.

"Then I won't be able to keep you company this afternoon." Zhu Lin and the others are about to start filming, and taking half a day off is already the limit.

Wei Ming watched her get into a taxi before hailing another one.

In the afternoon, he visited the Shanghai Writers Association and the editorial office of Harvest magazine. Although he hadn't written any novels recently, he had submitted essays to Harvest, so he didn't feel embarrassed to come over for a cup of tea.

Ba Jin jokingly said, "Your short essays are enough to fill two collections."

Wei Ming: "The quality of the works is still somewhat uneven. Let's accumulate more and then pick out some of the better ones to publish in a collection."

"Have you written any novels lately?" Li Xiaolin asked.

Wei Ming truthfully replied, "I've been writing slowly lately; I'm writing a short novella in English."

"Sigh~"

Li Xiaolin, being young, lost his composure upon hearing this, while Buffett remained calm and collected.

Moreover, Buffett had studied abroad and, although he hadn't used foreign languages ​​much for writing, he had translated Kropotkin's "Philosophy of Life: Its Origins and Development," so he was also proficient in using foreign languages.

"So, are you planning to switch entirely to writing in English?" he asked.

Wei Ming shook his head: "It's just that there are some topics that the domestic social environment wouldn't be interested in, and I want to earn more money from foreigners, so I want to write things that have a market abroad and that I also have a desire to express. My main focus will still be on local stories."

Hearing Wei Ming say this, Ba Jin felt much better. If a talented young man like Wei Ming were to fully turn to writing in a foreign language, it would be a loss to Chinese literature.

Li Xiaolin thought, "Then we can't publish this novel first in Harvest, since we don't publish foreign literature."

Wei Ming laughed and said, "I recently wrote a food essay about Japan. I'll send it to Harvest magazine later."

With some time to spare, Wei Ming decided to visit his old friend He Chengwei at "Story Club" magazine, since it wasn't far.

This year, "Story Club," which has become a monthly magazine, is getting stronger and stronger. The latest issue even broke the million-sales mark, and it no longer needs Wei Kuangren to lead the trend of popular literature.

However, upon seeing Wei Ming, He Chengwei still held his hand tightly and asked sadly, "So, Wei the Madman is completely retiring from the martial arts world from now on?"

He knew that serious literature, children's literature, and music composition were all more sophisticated and respected than their popular literature, but he still felt regret when he thought of the brilliance of his two works, "Heroes Have Always Emerged from Among the Young" and "The Battle of Qin Terracotta Warriors."

Wei Ming laughed and said, "Wei the Madman has simply disappeared from the mainland, but he's very famous in Hong Kong."

"Oh?"

Wei Mingdao: "Have you noticed that a short comic strip recently appeared in 'King of Fairy Tales' called..."

“If History Were a Bunch of Cats!” He Chengwei pulled out the October issue from his desk. It was indeed there. He looked closely and finally saw Wei Kuangren’s name among the two screenwriters in the screenwriter column.

Wei Mingdao said: "A Long and I started a comic magazine in Hong Kong. It contained martial arts stories, campus fun, and ghost stories. There were no taboos. Most of the comics were related to Wei Kuangren."

He Chengwei listened excitedly: "Just by listening to it, I knew this magazine was very interesting, but it's not available in mainland China."

Wei Ming said, "If there are any suitable comics for 'Story Club' in the future, we can authorize you to adapt them into stories."

"Okay, for this... what magazine was it again?"

"The Madman's Comics".

He Chengwei: "Great name! I absolutely have to treat you to a meal today because of this 'Madman Comics'."

He was adamant, otherwise Wei Ming would definitely have to pay again; he's addicted to treating people.

Wei Mingxian said, "Eating is fine, but drinking is out of the question."

Having two beautiful wives at home, even if they don't do anything, is better when they're sober than when they're drunk.

Moreover, since he didn't drink alcohol, Wei Ming could also ask Lao He about the sales and advertising fees of "Story Club".

With 1 million in sales now, it could reach several million in two years, and up to 7 million at its peak. And with at least 10 million readers per issue, what an enticing advertising platform this is!

When Wei Ming returned home that evening, Gong Xue was packing her things for her trip to Suzhou. She said to Zhu Lin, "I've given you everything that's been opened in this package. I've already packed everything up. You can keep it."

Wei Ming's radar immediately reacted, and he made his way through!
That night, Zhu Lin still chose to lie down with them. There was no way he would push them away; he just wanted to see it up close. As a medical student, it was purely out of curiosity.

~
The next day, Gong Xue was so ashamed that she couldn't face anyone, and ran away with her bag first thing in the morning.

"I'm not making breakfast for you. We have bread from the Friendship Store, just make do with that!" Xiaoxue huffed and puffed, covering her blushing face with her hat. She didn't even dare to think about what happened last night, and they wouldn't even let her turn off the lights!

At this point, she and the crew had already boarded a train bound for Suzhou. Despite the laughter, there was still a train station in Suzhou.

Zhu Lin also felt that they had become slaves to their desires. She had been too lenient with Xiao Wei last night and that she herself had also gone too far. But seeing Xiao Xue's performance at the last moment, so beautiful and so extreme, she decided to let herself succumb.

Even if I go to the underworld, I'll have Xiaoxue and Xiaowei to keep me company, so I won't be lonely on the road to the Yellow Springs. I'll be a romantic ghost.

Unfortunately, Xiao Wei is leaving today, and Wei Ming didn't let Sister Lin see him off.

"Although you've seen too many stories like 'Middle Age' in your mother's generation, the character Lu Wenting is older than you and is married with children, so it's quite a challenge. But if you play it well, it will definitely become a very important representative work in your life." Wei Ming gave his final words of advice before parting, his eyes full of earnest expectations.

"Yes, I was recommended by you, so I definitely won't let you down," Zhu Lin solemnly promised, and whispered in his ear, "If you don't perform well, I'll spank you."

Wei Ming hugged her tightly: "Although I really want to hit you, I'm even more looking forward to seeing your amazing performance. Let's go!"

The next stop is Guangzhou. This year, Pacific Audio-Visual Company established a Lark Award for the first time. The entry threshold is that the cassette tapes have sold more than 10 copies. Generally, you need to sell at least a million copies to win the award.

Wei Ming's two albums, "Tomorrow Will Be Better" and "Mom, Love Me Again," in which he was deeply involved, ranked first and third in annual sales, respectively. Second place went to Wang Jieshi and Xie Lisi's "When Will We Meet Again," a contemporary version of Phoenix Legend.

However, Wei Ming's two albums were released in a short period of time: "Tomorrow Will Be Better" was released in just over five months, and "Mom, Love Me Again" was released in just over two months. Moreover, they were mainly original songs, while "When Will We Meet Again" was basically a cover song.

Therefore, Pacific General Manager Liao Mingzu personally made a long-distance call to invite Teacher Wei Ming to attend, in order to show his importance.

Besides Wei Ming's official works, they also released some pirated versions of Wei Ming's Cantonese songs. Although this was the general situation, Liao Mingzu, being from Hong Kong, felt somewhat embarrassed and thought he would take the opportunity of the awards ceremony to personally apologize to Wei Ming.

In fact, the Lark Award also implies compensation for musicians and singers. Not only does it cover all their travel, accommodation, and meals, but it also covers their entertainment expenses in Guangzhou. In addition, each person receives a prize of 1000 yuan.

There was no other way; they were earning far too much, but due to regulations, they couldn't raise the pay for creators. So, Mr. Liao came up with the idea of ​​setting up awards and awarding bonuses.

"Teacher Wei, welcome, welcome!" Soon after Wei Ming checked into the Dongfang Hotel, Liao Mingzu appeared.

"You haven't had lunch yet, have you? Let's grab a quick bite at the hotel first, and then we'll go out for dinner tonight. This time it's on me, and it'll be paid for by the company."

Wei Ming felt his public image was about to collapse. Why couldn't he let me treat him to a meal?
