Chapter 165
It’s good that it passed the review. After passing the review, we can prepare for publicity and screening, but this time the publicity may be a roadshow.
Firstly, most of them are ghosts, and secondly, both male protagonists are in some trouble.
Lu Xingzhou scratched his chin. Pei Jingxuan was resolving a crisis with Rong Mingyu, but the crisis was not too big. Chu Qingquan inherited the family property.
Lu Xingzhou smiled and talked to Deng Mei about it. He suggested to just post the clips online for promotion. The female ghost sisters were too impatient to deal with such things as roadshow promotion.
What could Deng Mei say? He'd nearly been frightened to death by those women on the set, and the others weren't much better. If Lu Xingzhou hadn't fooled them by saying this was some new technology, there would have been a few more heart attacks on the set.
Lu Lihu looked at Lu Xingzhou and said cheerfully, "Zhou Zhou, I heard you're a screenwriter?"
Lu Xingzhou looked up and nodded with a smile. He said, "Yes, Grandpa, my second film is ready to be released, and the sample film has passed the review."
Lu Yuner said with a sigh, "How about we take a look together?"
He was really naive and playful, playing the role of a little Taoist priest in the film, but he was frightened by those girls every day and made to crawl around like crazy.
Lu Xingzhou had no objection. He glanced at his grandfather and great-grandfather, who of course nodded. Old Man Lu thought of the Chu Renmei he had seen before. He coughed twice and said, "Zhou Zhou, is this movie... scary?"
Lu Xingzhou looked a bit embarrassed. How should he put it? Scary? He didn't think it was scary.
Lu Yun'er's eyes rolled around, and he immediately said, "Not scary at all, really grandpa."
Mr. Lu pondered for a moment and said, "It's still early, why don't you take a look?"
Lu Lihu nodded, sat in the middle and said, "Look."
Lu Xingzhou went over to adjust the TV and projected the film. Lu Linwu turned off the lights in the living room. Lu Xiao and the others looked at Lu Linwu. The obvious dissatisfaction in their eyes made Lu Linwu unable to ignore it even if he wanted to.
Lu Linwu chuckled and said, "Isn't this the atmosphere?"
Lu Lihu didn't feel anything, and the movie officially started playing.
At the beginning, the colors are bright and warm, and the girl is full of hope. Her biggest wish is to earn some money to survive, so she goes to a wealthy family and wants to work as a maid to earn some money.
From the moment she entered the house, the tone became gloomy. When the girl entered the house, the master and the lady sitting in the main hall had strange expressions on their faces and were very gentle to the girl. Gradually, the girl became fair-skinned and beautiful, and her personality remained cheerful.
Until...she saw a...horrible person.
What follows is very terrifying: a gloomy house, a paulownia coffin, and people paying homage to the young master lying in the coffin. The girl's skin is pulled off bit by bit, and a man in a red Tang suit puts the girl's skin on a paper man bit by bit. The paper man puts on a wedding dress and marries the young master who died miserably. The girl's family happily attends the wedding banquet with a bag of money.
During the wedding ceremony, the paper bride shed tears of blood, and her fingers moved slightly, starting a battle royale in the house.
Eerie music, a scene that seems to exist but is not, a dark sky, and screams.
Lu Xingzhou nodded in satisfaction. When he turned around, he saw that his great grandfather and Old Man Lu were hugging each other, while Lu Xiao had a blank expression on his face. If you looked closely, you could vaguely see his trembling hands. As for his second brother, he had already hugged his eldest brother.
Lu Qiyi showed his ability to be both novice and playful. He looked impatient and wanted to push Lu Yun'er down but failed. Lu Linwu sat in the back with a smirk on his face, scaring Lu Yun'er from time to time.
Lu Yousen looked at the movie in front of him with a gentle expression, not knowing what he was thinking.
The lights were suddenly turned on, Lu Yun'er screamed, and Grandpa Lu and the Lu Lihu brothers hugged each other.
They all looked outside. Grandma Lilith, Old Lady Lu, and Song Qing were looking at them quietly with expressionless faces.
After seeing the movie scene and a bunch of useless men, they tutted and shook their heads and said, "Let's go upstairs first, you guys continue."
Mr. Lu and the others quickly loosened their hands, sat up straight, looked at their wives and said, "No more watching, let's go upstairs first."
This is so fucking scary, that kind of mental panic and fear, the adrenaline rises rapidly and then suddenly drops.
The old man is old and can't stand the stimulation.
Lu Lihu and Old Man Lu found an excuse for themselves and went upstairs quickly. Lu Xiao looked at Lu Yuner seriously and said, "As a man, what is there to be afraid of?"
Lu Yuner raised his eyebrows and looked at his father and said, "Dad, then don't shake your hands."
Lu Xiao chuckled and said, "I don't."
He just felt a little weak in the knees.
And this is not really scary, it's just the atmosphere.
The next day, many people came to the house, and Lu Xingzhou, wearing a red cotton coat, was pulled down and identified one by one.
Lu Xingzhou blinked and looked at the girl who looked like a doll. She was the daughter of his aunt Lu Qingxi.
Lu Qingxi is a very charming woman. At first glance, she looks very imposing, but that is only limited to her appearance.
I don't know if it's because I've been pua for too long, but I speak in a timid manner and I unconsciously smile ingratiatingly when facing people.
Unfortunately, Lulihu and Lilith haven't felt it yet.
Lu Xingzhou was speechless.
[As expected, when parents are strong, their children are usually either timid or rebellious... My aunt is the more timid one, which is why she was brainwashed and manipulated by this scumbag for so many years. She's beautiful and has a good personality, and I remember her being a top law student. How did she become like this?]
Lu Qingxi suddenly looked up and looked at her little nephew with a strange expression. What did she... hear?
Lu Xingzhou sighed. What should he say?
They say a mother is strong, but Ellie has already gone through that. What's the point of her just starting to get tough? Better to remind Grandpa...
Lu Qingxi's pretty eyebrows frowned. Ellie was everything to her. What did that kind of thing mean?
How could something bad happen to her Ellie? She was clearly the apple of her and her husband's eye.
And her husband just...just made the same mistake that all men make. It was also her fault. She was too gorgeous and strong, not his type...
That's why he couldn't help himself and had something with another woman. He also said that it was drunken sex and it was not his intention. It's just that the other woman had a child, so there was nothing he could do.
If Lu Xingzhou knew about this, he would definitely complain harshly, but he didn't know what his aunt was thinking.
[Hey, that scumbag's excuses are all full of PUA, saying it's because my great aunt's looks are too flashy and she's not his type. But if he doesn't like her, why would he pursue her? Why would he marry her? Isn't it just because of my great grandfather's influence?]
Lu Xingzhou glanced at the mother and daughter over there. The man didn't even follow them.
[Since you're married, you should be together properly. Why did you resort to drunken promiscuity? Ahhhh, let me say it again. It's really hard to get an erection after drinking too much! That woman was clearly with him before we got married.]
Lulihu's eyes were full of agreement, Zhou Zhou was right!
Lu Xingzhou was speechless.
[This time when I go back, that scumbag will probably give Ellie to his boss, a pedophile. He'll have to rape her. I have to keep Ellie here.]
Lu Qingxi felt as if struck by lightning. She opened and closed her mouth but couldn't utter a word, while Ellie in her arms had already turned red in the eyes.
She was not very old, only about thirteen or fourteen years old, and the education she received at home and abroad was different, so she already knew what that meant.
She watched her mother lower her eyes and tears fall.
Why? Why...
Lu Qingxi's brother, Lu Qingyuan, had a sinister look in his eyes. He pulled the little girl over to sit next to him and said, "Baby, after the New Year, let's not go back home. Let's go to school here in China, okay?"
Ellie looked at her mother who looked incredulous and nodded. She was very tired. Her mother always looked submissive when facing her father. Even though that woman had bullied them like that, she still didn't let her complain.
Lu Qingxi said subconsciously: "No, we have to go back. He is not that kind of person."
Lu Xingzhou heard the sound and looked over there. Seventh Grandpa's son, Lu Yuanzhou, looked up. He looked at Lu Xingzhou and smiled and said, "Zhouzhou, do you want to go to Italy to play?"
Lu Xingzhou looked up and said, "I have made plans. I'm going to film a short drama, and I'll have to trouble the grandfathers, aunts, and uncles when the time comes."
Lu Qingyuan over there smiled when he heard his eldest sister's words. He said, "Baby, tell me, did your father bring a woman home?"
Ellie was very disappointed when she heard her mother's words. She looked at her uncle, nodded, and said, "That's right, uncle."
Lu Qingyuan smiled and said, "Okay, uncle got it."
Lu Qingyuan stood up, looked down at Lu Qingxi and said, "Sister, you should believe in Dad and me."
After saying that, he walked out and called the Italian headquarters.
When he came back, he looked at Lu Qingxi and said, "Sister, you may become a widow."
Lu Qingxi suddenly raised her head. She was very confused and didn't speak for a long time. Lu Lihu was paying attention to what was happening here.
He looked at Lilith beside him. Lilith patted his hands and said, "I'll have a good talk with Qingxi."
Lu Xingzhou didn't realize that while he was just eating a melon, a scumbag in Italy weighed three kilograms, including the box.
He sighed and looked up the affairs of his relatives.
[Oh my, Uncle Yuanzhou is actually a crossdresser???]
Lu Yuanzhou, who had just been smiling, suddenly changed his expression. He looked at Lu Xingzhou with dead eyes and said, "Zhou Zhou, sometimes, thinking too much will get you beaten to death."
Lu Xingzhou asked doubtfully, “Huh?”
Facing the looks from his other cousins, Lu Yuanzhou decided to die together. He said to Lu Xingzhou with a smile, "Zhouzhou, do you know? Your Uncle Qingyuan still doesn't have a partner. When do you think he'll get one?"
Lu Xingzhou subconsciously looked at Lu Qingyuan in the distance. What could he say?
Lu Xingzhou could only smile politely and said, "This... should be quick, right?"
[She'll soon be taken to her nest by her adopted son... Uncle Qingyuan was a stickler for marriage. He firmly believed there was no one more perfect than him, so he decided not to give her away to anyone else. As a result... when he was fourteen, he adopted a ten-year-old, and then... his integrity was ruined in his later years.]
Lu Qingyuan's smile froze. He looked at Lu Yuanzhou and laughed. "You are so good, Lu Yuanzhou. You want to eat his melon, right?"
He walked over slowly and sat in front of Lu Xingzhou and the others. He gritted his teeth, rubbed Lu Xingzhou's head and said, "Don't worry, you won't be able to attend Uncle Qingyuan's wedding."
He looked at Lu Yuanzhou and said, “But you should be able to enjoy your uncle Yuanzhou’s wedding wine.”
Lu Yuanzhou was stunned for a moment, he tutted and said: "Lu Qingyuan, you don't want Yun."
Lu Xingzhou blinked.
[Oh, but Uncle Yuanzhou is still in the online dating stage and hasn't met in person yet, so...it should take a long time, right? After all, he still thinks he's a girl.]
The eyes of the others who were watching the show were focused on the two brothers, and they looked at them with subtle expressions.
Wow, you are having a lot of fun. Is it mustard-like and exciting?
Lu Lihu looked indifferent. He thought that his children and grandchildren would have their own blessings. If he didn't have any, he would enjoy his own happiness. Anyway, his sons were grown up, so he could do whatever they wanted. He didn't want to care about it anymore.
A girl with short hair came over. Lu Xingzhou looked at her and said, "Sister Lian?"
Lu Lian sat there and looked at Lu Xingzhou with a smile and said, "Have you ever been in love, Zhou Zhou?"
Speaking of this issue, Lu Xingzhou felt a little embarrassed. He shook his head and said, "I'm still underage, and A Jin won't let me talk about it."
[But I have someone I'm interested in. When I grow up, I might give him a try. After all, everything about him seems to be made for me. He's meant to be mine.]
Lu Lian raised her eyebrows. Her younger brother was quite domineering.
But it’s better to be domineering, it’s better to be domineering than to be domineering.
She rubbed Lu Xingzhou's head and said, "That's right. It's better to fall in love after you become an adult. If you don't understand anything then you can ask your sister for help."
Lu Xingzhou smiled and nodded.
[Emmmm, actually, it's pointless to look for Sister Lian... Sister Lian has a lot of girlfriends, and I like boys.]
He looked at Lu Zhenhu. Lu Zhenhu was Grandpa Lu's fourth brother. He had only one son, who was also the eldest among those present except Lu Xiao. He had three children in total, two boys and one girl.
[Grandpa Zhenhu, do you know that Sister Lian likes girls, Brother Ling likes boys, and Brother Huo only likes himself...]
Lu Zhenhu's old face fell, he glanced at Lu Chu, Lu Chu's face was not very good either. He did not discriminate against their sexual orientation, but at least he should leave him someone who could hold his grandchildren.
He looked at Lu Huo. Although he was narcissistic, the hope of the family rested on him.
Lu Huo's expression froze. No, he was just watching the excitement, how come the excitement happened to him?
Besides, is it wrong for him to like me? He thinks he is perfect. Originally, when he heard his uncle Lu Qingyuan's thoughts, he thought they definitely had something to talk about and were close friends.
As a result, his confidant may have to fall in love, and he seems to have to take on the responsibility of continuing the family line.
Lu Lian almost died of laughter. She blinked and said, "Zhou Zhou, you are so cute."
Lu Xingzhou looked confused. What happened to him?
The young people had a lot to talk about, and they quickly became familiar with each other. Fortunately, the old house was big enough to accommodate a group of people.
On the day of the Chinese New Year, firecrackers rang out, a table full of mouth-watering food was served, the elders drank and chatted, and the young people ate and drank.
In the evening, a large pot of dumplings was bubbling in the pot. Lu Xingzhou bit into a hard object. He took it out and saw that it was a gold coin.
Mr. Lu looked at his Zhou Zhou happily and said, "Gold coins, Zhou Zhou, have good luck in the coming year."
Lu Xingzhou smiled sheepishly. Lu Xiao raised his glass and said, "It's so hard for our family to get together this time. Let's go together."
A large table of people raised their glasses and drank the wine. As the fireworks outside exploded, the atmosphere was very lively.
Lu Xingzhou's heart also began to beat rapidly.
The cell phone rang and Lu Xingzhou picked up the call. On the other side of the video, Zhou Xinglu Qingjun's face appeared on the screen. He smiled gently and Lu Xingzhou seemed to be having trouble breathing.
He took a deep breath and smiled at Zhou Xinglu who was standing opposite him. Zhou Xinglu looked at him and said, "Happy New Year, my Zhou Zhou."
Lu Xingzhou nodded towards him and said, "Happy New Year~ Brother Xinglu..."
Zhou Xinglu looked at him with tenderness and affection. He said, "Next year, I will celebrate the New Year with you."
Lu Xingzhou's heart beat faster. He lowered his eyes and hummed, then raised his head and said with a beautiful smile, "Okay, brother..."
