Wandering the world of film and television begins with the golden years

Early the next morning. 👍☺ 69ĤuЖ.𝓒Øм 🌷★

Li Haoyu got up early to write all by himself.

Don't be fooled by Li Haoyu's previous film and television works.

He always seemed rather lazy, but that was only when he was absolutely certain of success. In this world, however, he had only just begun his struggle and naturally dared not slack off.

Even if it's just for the sake of being able to sleep in a soft, comfortable bed as soon as possible, it's worth Li Haoyu's hard work.

Li Haoyu's back is good enough.

But it shouldn't be ruined like this.

After all, Li Haoyu had many ambitions in this world. He wanted Zheng Juan, Zhou Rong, Hao Dongmei... and all those morally corrupt little vixens.

This sense of urgency forced Li Haoyu to work harder.

So Li Haoyu planned to go see Zhou Rong after he finished.

It's best not to drag this out for too long.

Li Haoyu did not bring Li Xixi with him this time.

This girl is quite troublesome.

If he hadn't been in such a hurry to take her home last time, his conversation with Zhou Rong might have been a little more in-depth. This time, he definitely couldn't let her hold him back again.

Li Haoyu said goodbye to Li Xixi and then left.

Li Xixi, however, showed no concern about this at all.

She practiced hand shadows in her room for half a day last night, and in her high spirits, she didn't sleep for several hours.

She has no interest in doing anything right now.

She just wanted to cover herself with the blanket and sleep a little longer.

She said impatiently, "Go wherever you want, I need to sleep, don't bother me. Remember to be quiet when you come back."

Li Haoyu was happy to accept this.

He closed the door and walked alone towards the county town.

Li Haoyu arrived in the county town quite early.

Li Haoyu planned to browse around first.

After all, it is a bit outrageous for a man to visit a woman so early in the morning.

Hey bro, wanna buy a watch? I'll give it to you cheap.

A voice interrupted Li Haoyu, who was strolling around.

Li Haoyu turned to look at the newcomer, a young man in his early twenties wearing a trench coat. He opened his trench coat to the side, revealing a watch in his pocket.

Li Haoyu glanced at it briefly; it was one of those digital watches.

Although the screen quality was only that of a mosaic, this should still be considered the first generation of domestically produced electronic watches. It was also one of the earliest high-tech products, and a standard feature for big bosses of that era.

This watch is probably not cheap.

It would probably cost several months' wages for a worker.

Li Haoyu shook his head. "This one is nice, but it doesn't meet my requirements. If you could get your hands on a Seiko watch, I'd be interested."

Although Li Haoyu's pockets are now cleaner than his face.

But you can't show weakness in this kind of thing.

Even if he's broke, it doesn't stop him from taking a look. ★😝 690x.ᶜoᵐ 🍬🐙

Besides, if he waits until "The Rural Teacher" is published, money won't be a problem for Li Haoyu.

Li Haoyu had already learned about this world before coming here.

The Seiko electronic watch of this era can be considered the grandfather of smartwatches. Compared to some mobile phones in later generations, this watch even had a headphone jack.

Can you imagine?

The most outrageous thing is that this is the world's first watch with a tuning knob and headphone jack, so you can watch programs anytime, anywhere.

Li Haoyu remained calm.

He calmly retorted, "So, brother, do you have any ideas? If you really have connections to get your hands on it, I'm genuinely interested."

The young man opposite him was a little confused by Li Haoyu's question.

He asked many people today, but many were deterred by the price.

Although Li Haoyu was dressed very simply, his demeanor was outstanding, and his complexion was extremely ruddy. He immediately suspected Li Haoyu might be a potential customer.

That's indeed the case. But what the heck is Seiko?

He had never heard of it before.

"Boss, what brand is Seiko? We don't have this watch here, but I can give you a discount. This is already the best digital watch with photonic chips."

He was still trying to sell it to Li Haoyu.

Li Haoyu shook his head and smiled, saying, "Ordinary digital watches are meaningless. If you don't have one, then forget it."

"Brother, it's still early. Why don't we chat first? Making a friend is always a good thing."

At that moment, a beautiful young woman, around twenty years old and dressed elegantly, walked out of the alley.

She waved to Li Haoyu.

As the person in charge of sales, she had met all sorts of customers during this time. There were quite a few nouveau riche, and quite a few clueless suckers.

But I've rarely seen someone so knowledgeable.

Seiko is an American brand.

Not to mention the younger brother who bought the watch, even she herself only came across it by chance in a foreign magazine. Otherwise, even she might not have known:

But there was one thing she was clear about.

In this day and age, those who have access to foreign information are either from families with such resources or are overseas Chinese. So getting to know these kinds of people is definitely a good thing.

You never know when you might need it.

In addition, she has gotten to know quite a few people these days. That calm and composed feeling can't be faked; if he were truly inexperienced, he certainly wouldn't act this way.

Li Haoyu looked up and saw a mountain peak:

However, the other party did not dodge or avoid the gaze, and even took the initiative to meet Li Haoyu's eyes.

"Actually, chatting won't take up much of your time. If Jinggong really has a connection, I can get it to you immediately. How about we find a quiet place to talk?"

Li Haoyu looked the other person up and down and thought he seemed quite sincere.

He nodded in agreement. ✩ 🎀 60M.🎀 ✩

However, Li Haoyu was also cautious. He had carefully checked the back of the alley and found no one lying in ambush. Furthermore, neither of them was armed.

Li Haoyu believed that even if something went wrong, he wouldn't need more than ten seconds to resolve the situation, so even if it was a honey trap, it wouldn't matter.

If she really wants to play some trick.

Then don't blame him for being ruthless and destroying the flowers.

Seeing that Li Haoyu agreed, the girl waved to the boy and said, "You wait for me here. I'll be right back with him." Then she led Li Haoyu to a guesthouse.

She took a key out of her bag and opened the door.

She took off her coat and then closed the door.

This left Li Haoyu somewhat bewildered.

Is she really going to sleep with him?

He should go for it, or he should go for it.

Just as Li Haoyu was speculating.

The girl opposite him took the initiative to introduce herself, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Wu Mei."

Li Haoyu nodded. "A good name. The person is as charming as their name suggests."

Wu Mei was taken aback at first, then smiled. "You're quite direct. You dare to say something like that to me on our first meeting? Aren't you afraid I'll get angry?"

Li Haoyu laughed, "Is there a problem with praising a girl's beauty? Besides, I'm just being blunt."

"Some people might not dare to say it out loud, but who knows how many bad things they're harboring in their hearts. Between a spineless bad man and an honest bad man, isn't the latter more acceptable?"

Wu Mei chuckled.

His already handsome face gained an extra touch of color.

"Aren't there any good men out there?" she asked Li Haoyu in return.

"If I said yes, would you believe me?"

Wu Mei smiled even more happily.

She herself never expected that the person she met on the street would be so interesting.

"Fine, just for that one sentence you said, I'll give you one."

After saying that, she took out a pack of cigarettes from her pocket.

Li Haoyu didn't recognize the brand either, but it must be expensive.

Because the packaging is indeed very exquisite.

Li Haoyu accepted the lighter, but refused Wu Mei's offer.

He simply put the cigarette in his pocket.

Wu Mei asked with some confusion, "Why aren't you smoking?"

Li Haoyu said with a smile, "I don't smoke, but I can't refuse your kindness. Since you've given it to me, I'll keep it."

Wu Mei didn't say much, but simply took out a cigarette and lit it herself.

She exhaled a faint smoke ring. "Then I'll enjoy it all by myself. You don't mind, do you?"

Li Haoyu didn't say anything, he just nodded.

This woman has already pulled herself away, why is she still saying such hypocritical things?

But this Wu Mei is really quite interesting.

At this moment, Li Haoyu carefully examined Wu Mei.

The way she smokes, in particular, perfectly embodies the meaning of alluring charm and languid indifference.

She was slender and tall, with a long neck, delicate wrists, and finely textured fingertips. The only downside was that Wu Mei's makeup was a bit heavy, which Li Haoyu thought detracted from her appearance.

However, she wore no ornaments, and her long, thin, and supple black hair was styled in a simple bun, which contrasted sharply with her personality.

She slowly exhaled smoke.

Wu Mei, shrouded in smoke, appeared somewhat颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it conveys a sense of decadence, listlessness, or dejection), yet was exceptionally alluring.

This might be the most alluring woman Li Haoyu has ever seen in this era.

She could even be considered the best among them, because Wu Mei simultaneously met the seemingly conflicting conditions of being both slender and voluptuous.

Large where it should be large, and thin where it should be thin.

Li Haoyu felt that Wu Mei must be a woman with a story.

Smoke filled the small room, but both remained silent.

Li Haoyu leaned against the wall and waited silently. Since Wu Mei had invited him, she would definitely take the initiative to speak.

"Where do you make your fortune, brother? Where do you live?"

Wu Mei took the initiative to speak.

"Still a poor guy, currently living at a friend's house."

Li Haoyu had no reason to lie; such a thing could be easily investigated, so there was no need to lie. Even if he fabricated an identity, the other party would definitely see through it.

There's absolutely no need to put on a show of wealth when you're not.

Wu Mei frowned upon hearing Li Haoyu's words.

This was not quite what she had expected.

However, she still felt that Li Haoyu was not as simple as he seemed.

"Really? Don't lie to me, buddy!"

Wu Mei looked up at Li Haoyu's eyes for a while, then smiled and picked up another cigarette to smoke.

"Alright, haven't you heard that your pretentious act of maturity is a bit fake? That's not how you smoke; you're just wasting tobacco by inhaling it."

"Look at you, talking so much. How old are you?" she asked.

"Eighteen years old," Li Haoyu said.

"Are you kidding me?"

"It means I'm forever eighteen."

"I'm already twenty-four."

Wu Mei gave a wry smile and said, "Since you say that, you must be younger than me."

"Does age matter?" Li Haoyu asked with a smile.

"It doesn't matter to you guys, but it's different for us girls. Many girls who are much younger than me are already married."

Wu Mei did not continue smoking this time.

She put the cigarette she had taken out back in.

"At my age, I'm almost considered an unmarriageable woman, especially for a businesswoman like me. Is it easy for us to make a living?"

When Wu Mei said these words, she looked pitiful.

But Li Haoyu simply didn't believe it at all.

He even suspected that Wu Mei had said those words to more than one man. If Li Haoyu really didn't have much experience, he might have been completely devoured by Wu Mei, leaving not even a bone fragment.

"Actually, there's nothing to be sad about. At least you still have money."

Li Haoyu paused for a moment before continuing.

"Love isn't a necessity of life, nor is marriage and having children. It's just an option in life. I don't think you need any comfort at all."

"Besides, is it really a blow to you to not have a man?"

Li Haoyu glanced down at Wu Mei. "How novel. I guess you didn't find any of them appealing. Otherwise, you could have as many as you wanted, enough to fill a whole photon sheet."

"Ha ha ha ha."

This time, Wu Mei laughed heartily.

She looked at the tall man in front of her, a smile playing on his lips, and said, "I love hearing that. Just for that one sentence, I'd like to be your friend."

"Let me introduce myself again. I am Wu Mei from the Nine Tigers and Thirteen Eagles. People will still give me some face if they mention my name on this business card."

This time, it was Li Haoyu who frowned.

What utter nonsense about Nine Tigers and Thirteen Eagles.

In Li Haoyu's view, they were nothing more than the same gang of male and female hooligans from back then.

Even the name is copied from the Hong Kong gangster movie. What is "Nine Tigers and Thirteen Eagles"? Nine Tigers are all male, and Thirteen Eagles are all female.

A mob!

However, besides those from poor families like Tu Zhiqiang, there are also some who are just fooling around and come from wealthy families.

Under their so-called loyalty and shared ideals, the Nine Tigers were joined by the Thirteen Eagles, and this group of half-grown adults formed an organization, gathering together whenever they had free time.

In the end, they were just a bunch of hooligans and scoundrels, along with some spoiled and rebellious teenagers.

In the original novel, none of the Nine Tigers and Thirteen Eagles were good people. They were skilled at theft, robbery, and fraud.

They have a decent reputation in the film industry, but the lower classes don't offer much profit, so they're not their target.

In addition, they also understand the principle of "a rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its burrow," so they will go to other cities to commit crimes.

The men are responsible for violence, and the women are responsible for seduction; it's easy for them to earn enough to live a carefree life for a long time.

This absurd behavior had been going on for a long time, and it was during this period that Tu Zhiqiang grew increasingly audacious. Ultimately, he offended someone he shouldn't have.

That's why he ended up being executed.

He actually wanted to make friends with all sorts of talented people from different walks of life. Li Haoyu had initially thought Wu Mei was some kind of con artist or something similar.

I never expected Wu Zetian to be this kind of person.

This truly disappointed Li Haoyu.

How many lotus flowers that rise from the mud unsullied can be found in the mud?

Li Haoyu's face darkened, and he let out a cold snort.

"I advise you to think twice before you act."

Wu Mei looked surprised.

How could you say that to me?
