The Birth of the Best Director

Chapter 77 Reba, there is a picture of [Morimoto Sosuke]

……

Xin Yukun drove Jing Tian's Land Rover and took Lu Zhiyuan and Reba back to the community.

Suddenly remembering something, Xin Yukun tilted his head and asked, "By the way, Ayuan, what do you think of that Dongshan Villa you mentioned last time?"

"Almost done."

After receiving the various copyright fees for "Heart Labyrinth", Lu Zhiyuan went directly to the agent to look at houses. He spent half a day and selected three houses.

As for the price, his budget was only 2000 million, so he asked the agent to bargain for him as much as possible... Whoever made concessions first among the three houses would place the order to buy it!
This behavior directly led to competition among the three homeowners.

It is now 2009, and the subprime mortgage crisis has just ended. Many people actually don’t believe that housing prices will continue to soar.

There are even many people online clamoring that China's real estate bubble will collapse sooner or later.

At least before the golden September and October, it is a buyer's market.

"Brother, how boring it would be to live in a mansion by yourself at night? How lonely would you be without me?"

For this kind of second-hand house, especially a villa, the decoration of the other party will definitely not be too bad.

Just hire a few cleaners to clean the place, change the mattress or something, and you can move in with your luggage.

When he thought of this, Xin Yukun realized that Lu Zhiyuan was about to move out.

Otherwise, why not say a few good words and move into a luxury house with Lu Zhiyuan? That way, you can save on rent.

"Brother Kun, thank you for your consideration. But I'm not bored, nor am I lonely."

Who knew that Lu Zhiyuan wouldn't give him any face at all.

Like a robot, he rejected it ruthlessly.

Reba, who was standing next to him, almost died of laughter when she saw Xin Yukun's pitiful expression. She couldn't help but ask, "Brother Kun, I heard you got a lot of money from this movie. Why don't you buy a house?"

"I'm a prodigal son, why should I buy a house? If I buy a house, it means I have ties. How can I still be a prodigal son?"

Xin Yukun smoothed his handsome hairstyle, revealing a wandering temperament.

"Brother Kun, if you keep going on like this, what will you do when you get old?"

Reba looked down on Xin Yukun a little.

What prodigal son?
So nicely said.

I just like drinking tea!

"Little girl, what do you know? Old people have their own ways of playing."

Xin Yukun turned around and glared at Reba, then said with emotion, "For a boy to become a man, he must have a story to tell. That's what makes him charming. Otherwise, if he meets a pretty girl like you, wouldn't he be completely captivated by you in no time? He'd almost lose his soul."

Hey!

Brother Kun has been wandering around the world for so many years, and I don’t know how many beauties he has slept with, but he also thinks he is handsome... Hearing this, Reba couldn't help but feel a little proud.

……

The three of them chatted casually and then returned to the community.

"Brother Ayuan, can you give me some concept drawings of my character? I want to take them home and think about the feeling."

Before getting off the bus and going home, Reba made a small request to Lu Zhiyuan.

"of course can."

Lu Zhiyuan was so happy that Reba was so proactive in learning, how could he refuse?

He smiled and selected a few representative character concept drawings from his bag and handed them to Reba.

"Brother Yuan, if you're moving, remember to call me. I'm super strong and can help you move things."

Reba felt that Brother Kun was reminding her on the road that Lu Zhiyuan was going to move.

Of course, she would not stop Lu Zhiyuan from living in the mansion, but she thought to herself that Dongshan Villa seemed not far away, so she had to go there to find out as soon as possible.

It’s convenient to sneak over next time.

"That's kind of you. But I've hired a moving company. Better use your strength in the movies, beating up cyborgs."

Lu Zhiyuan smiled at Reba and got out of the car on his own initiative.

Because Reba’s suitcase is actually quite heavy.

Although Reba said that she was very strong, she was a girl after all, and of course I had to help Reba carry the box to the best of my ability.

……

"Brother Yuan, thank you for helping me move my things. Would you like to come in for a cup of tea?"

"No. I've been on the plane for such a long time, I want to go home and take a shower first. You should get some rest too."

Lu Zhiyuan politely declined Reba's invitation, waved his hand, and turned to go downstairs.

After staying outside for half a month, Lu Zhiyuan knew that Xin Yukun must have a lot to say to him.

Although Yuankun Media, which they founded, is a shell company, it has received various copyright cooperation offers because "The Labyrinth of the Heart" won a major award at Cannes.

In addition, there are various domestic subsidies and awards, and a lot of benefits can be obtained.

In addition, the preliminary preparations for the movie "Upgrade" have been almost completed. Next, a project company should be established to inject capital, recruit employees, and sign various contracts.

Since this is a Sino-US co-production involving cross-border cooperation, it is best for this project company to be established in an offshore location such as the Cayman Islands to optimize taxes.

In addition, during the filming process, they also need to go to other countries to shoot, which involves foreign exchange account settlement and hedging of exchange rate risks.

In short, there are a lot of things waiting for Lu Zhiyuan to deal with.

Although Lu Zhiyuan does not need to handle these things himself, as the leader of the entire project, he must be aware of them.

Of course, Xin Yukun needed to inform him of everything first.

Otherwise, Xin Yukun would be suspected of deliberately concealing the truth, which would greatly undermine the trust between the two.

Although Brother Kun loves to play, he is always meticulous when it comes to serious work.

This is also why Lu Zhiyuan trusts him.

……

at dusk.

Reba was at home, happily admiring the various portraits Lu Zhiyuan had painted for her.

The painting style is particularly delicate and beautiful.

She really likes it more and more.

"Reba, you're finally back. I missed you so much."

At this time, Zhang Tianai came back from outside and was very happy to see Reba come home. She came up and hugged Reba tightly.

After a while, Zhang Tianai noticed the portraits in Reba's hands. After staring at them for a few seconds, he couldn't help but say something.

"Hey, the rest of your paintings look like robots. But there's one painting with a very delicate style, a soft mist-like effect... It's very much like the style of [Morimoto Sosuke]."

"Reba, who did you ask to paint your portrait? It's really nice! How much did it cost? Please recommend it to me. I also want to paint a portrait in this style."

Sosuke Morimoto?

Who is this?
This most special painting seems to have been drawn by Brother Yuan on his birthday, June 3rd, while he was on the plane. He glanced at his own profile and drew it silently.

At first, Reba didn't pay much attention to this painting.

Because Lu Zhiyuan was painting there every other day, she was no longer surprised.

At this moment, what Zhang Tianai meant was...

What special meaning does this painting have?
However, Reba is also a smart little girl. Although she was extremely curious at the moment, she forced herself to hold back and did not ask.

She smiled and nodded. "Yeah, it's a nice painting, right? I asked a student from CAFA to draw it for me. He asked for 500 yuan per piece. It hurt me so much."

"So expensive?"

When Zhang Tianai heard the price, he was secretly amazed.

But after thinking about it, she felt that the price offered by the other party was reasonable.

It’s not a scam!
"Reba, I'm going to go cook first. Your nutritionist didn't know you were back today and didn't prepare a set meal for you. Do you want to indulge yourself?"

Zhang Tianai deliberately seduced Reba.

Reba bared her teeth and screamed a few times, pushing Zhang Tianai out: "Sister Xiaoai, you are so annoying, don't seduce me! I worked so hard to lose weight."

The two of them were fighting and playing.

After Zhang Tianai left, Reba immediately turned on the computer and searched who [Morimoto Sosuke] was.
"A great Japanese painter?"

"Do you like to use one color tone to draw portraits?"

"Huh? Why does he always have only one model for his portraits?"

Reba browsed the Internet for a while and suddenly found something. She couldn't help but cover her mouth, with an inexplicable light flashing in her eyes.

——[Morimoto Sosuke, a famous Japanese painter, especially likes to paint beauties. His works always astonish the world! ]

The beauties in his paintings are not only lifelike, but also dignified, elegant, tender, and incredibly beautiful. It's clear that he captures both the inner and outer beauty of women. Anyone who sees them will be deeply captivated!

[However, the most incredible thing is that Morimoto Sosuke only drew one person in his entire life! ]

She remembered what Zhang Tianai had said to her before: most artists in the world have strong mental cleanliness... and among them, painters' mental cleanliness is the most serious.

"I am indeed different."

Knowing that Lu Zhiyuan used the brushstroke style of [Morimoto Sosuke], he painted a special portrait for her on her birthday.

I hid it quietly among other concept drawings and gave it to her.

What a delicate thought.

So romantic.

"Thank you, Sister Xiao Ai. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have known about this."

Reba felt like she was in love, and her heart was filled with sweetness.

This portrait is equivalent to a love letter written by Lu Zhiyuan to her!

This painting is indeed very different.

The style of painting is completely different from other AI mechanical girls.

Under Lu Zhiyuan's pen, her every frown and smile, even the slight curve of her mouth, is full of tenderness and delicacy.

Also, if you look closely, you will find that only in this painting, the edges of her facial contours have been processed by Lu Zhiyuan using a special technique, resulting in a slight blur.

It made her face look as if covered by a layer of gauze and mist, which weakened the hardness of her face and added gentleness and poetry.

Reba felt that this was how Lu Zhiyuan saw her.

So lovely!
It’s just like first love!

"I made a decision!"

"This portrait is our family heirloom!"

Reba stayed with Lu Zhiyuan for half a month and often heard him say a famous quote: "These paintings have no emotion in them, they are just simple copies, so they are garbage."

but--

How could there be no emotion in this portrait that Lu Zhiyuan painted for her?
Look at the gentle touch...

Look at her in the painting, how beautiful she is?
Reba felt a little drunk as she watched.

……

Lisa's gallery has closed, and the owner is temporarily in Los Angeles to heal her broken heart and has not returned to China at all.

The next morning, Reba forgot about this matter and got up early, ready to wait for Lu Zhiyuan at the gate of the community to go to the gallery to see paintings together.

Suddenly I remembered...the gallery owner was kidnapped by Liu Yifei.

"Damn Liu Yifei, damn Minotaur, what are you doing in Los Angeles?"

Since Lisa didn’t open a gallery, Reba couldn’t go to the gallery with Lu Zhiyuan, which meant they missed out on a morning of time together.

"Brother Kun, is Brother Yuan awake yet?"

After much deliberation, Reba called Xin Yukun and asked him a few questions in a roundabout way.

She didn't dare to disturb Lu Zhiyuan, but she could disturb Xin Yukun.

"Ayuan left early. He's attending an academic conference for the Directors Association today. In the afternoon, he's going to Xingguang Canlan to discuss the project company with Mr. Zhao."

"Tonight... Tonight hasn't been arranged yet, but I guess Mr. Zhao will treat us to dinner."

As a big director, Lu Zhiyuan has a very busy schedule every day.

However, he took the initiative to cancel many of his plans.

But there are some trips that cannot be postponed.

"Oh. Thank you, Brother Kun."

Reba hung up the phone, feeling a little sad, thinking that she and Lu Zhiyuan were from completely different worlds.

I'm going to work hard!
No matter what, you have to fight at least once before you’re willing to give up!
