Chapter 79

After learning that Li Hao and Lu Xuan had arrived in Kyoto,

Grandpa Li sent a car to pick them up to the Siheyuan (courtyard house).

A courtyard at the foot of the imperial city.

This was Lu Xuan's third time here.

The first two experiences weren't ideal.

That old man's temper was really fiery.

But Grandpa Fei was gentle and mild-mannered.

The two old men together were a typical clash of water and fire.

So when he entered the courtyard later,

Lu Xuan decided to stand by Fei Qing's side.

As for the battle between Li Hao and his grandpa,

Lu Xuan thought it was best to just watch from the sidelines.

Glancing at Li Hao next to him, Lu Xuan silently apologized.

It wasn't that he, his good brother, wouldn't help him.

It was just that he lacked the strength to do so!

Li Hao didn't notice Lu Xuan's expression.

He was also a little nervous at this time.

"Xuan'er, if a fight really breaks out later, remember to pull me back."

"I can't, I can't."

Lu Xuan chose to be pragmatic.

"Are you still a good brother!" Li Hao glared.

"Coward!"

He even placed his hopes on Lu Xuan, but Lu Xuan was too much of a coward!

Lu Xuan glared back: "If you weren't a coward, why would you call for backup!"

"I..."

Li Hao: "I'm just afraid of hurting him!"

"Come on, do you think we can win even if we go together?"

Lu Xuan had a deep and unforgettable understanding of that old man's fighting power.

Li Hao's expression also stiffened.

"Forget it, then remember to call an ambulance for me."

"I can do that!"

Soon, the car arrived.

After walking into an ordinary-looking Siheyuan (courtyard house),

Lu Xuan saw the two old men.

Seventy years old is rare in life, but the two old men were still full of energy.

Especially their eyes.

They were particularly bright!

Lu Xuan once met their gaze for two seconds and collapsed.

As if he had directly witnessed that turbulent era!

"Old Fei, Old Li."

After walking in, Lu Xuan wanted to do as he had done the previous two times, greet them and then step aside.

To be a transparent person.

And leave the stage to his buddy, Brother Gun'er, to dance.

Just then, Old Fei spoke.

"You haven't eaten yet, have you? Let's eat first."

He waved for the two to follow him.

Lu Xuan and Li Hao exchanged a glance and had no choice but to follow.

"Oh."

During a meal of authentic Kyoto cuisine, no one spoke.

Lu Xuan silently ate.

"The taste is not bad, but Su Yao's cooking is better."

As he ate, Lu Xuan thought of Su Yao.

He thought of the meals Su Yao made.

Every meal had something he loved to eat.

He wondered what Su Yao was doing now.

Whether she had eaten...

Lu Xuan slowed down his eating.

Fei Qing, who had been observing him, suddenly spoke.

"What's wrong, Little Lu? Is it not to your taste?"

He smiled kindly at Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan shook his head: "No, it's just that I'm already full."

He put down his chopsticks and smiled at the old man.

At the same time, he found the old man's attitude a little strange.

The previous two times he came, the old man was also very kind.

But he wasn't as concerned about him as he was now.

The previous two times, he had always been a transparent person.

"I'm full too."

On the other side, Li Hao also stopped what he was doing and looked up at his grandpa.

Grandpa also looked at him without saying a word.

The grandfather and grandson began glaring at each other at some point.

Big eyes staring at small eyes.

Like two bulls.

"......"

Seeing this, Lu Xuan shrank his neck.

His palm secretly grabbed the table leg.

Afraid that Old Li would overturn the table!

Seeing that everyone was finished eating, Fei Qing invited everyone to sit outside.

"Let's go."

The grandfather and grandson then briefly ceased fire.

After going outside and sitting down, they started again.

Lu Xuan: "......"

"Never mind them, let's chat."

Fei Qing waved his hand with a smile, taking Lu Xuan away from the low pressure here.

After arriving at the side, he took the initiative to chat with Lu Xuan.

"Did you make *Dying to Survive*?"

"Yes, I did."

"Not bad, not bad!"

A look of appreciation flashed in Fei Qing's eyes.

He had an impression of this young man.

In college, he was always with Li Hao and they had a very good relationship.

The old man had also heard of Lu Xuan's title of 'box office poison'.

That's why he didn't pay attention to Lu Xuan the previous two times.

But this time was different.

Lu Xuan could make a movie like *Dying to Survive*, which made Fei Qing look at him with new eyes.

This time, he even asked Lu Xuan to come over.

He wanted to chat with Lu Xuan in person to understand him.

As for Li Hao, let his grandpa worry about him.

Fei Qing continued to ask.

"Did you write the script too?"

Lu Xuan: "Yes, it was an incident I accidentally learned about."

"I thought it was very meaningful."

"So I wanted to make this story into a movie so that more people would know about it."

Fei Qing stroked his beard and nodded: "You put in the effort."

"There aren't many young people like you these days!"

Then, the old man asked Lu Xuan a lot of questions.

He also learned about Lu Xuan's thoughts.

He understood that this young man was really making movies.

And working hard for the rise of domestic films.

Fei Qing's evaluation of Lu Xuan in his heart went to a higher level.

With such awareness, it was worth him asking Lu Xuan to come in person.

After chatting, Fei Qing looked at the grandfather and grandson.

"Alright, stop being angry."

"Let's talk about serious matters."

The battle between the grandfather and grandson came to an abrupt end.

Old Li withdrew his gaze, and Li Hao retreated to Lu Xuan's side.

He whispered strangely.

"Did the old man take the wrong medicine? Why hasn't he said a word this time?"

"Maybe he's brewing a big move?"

"Possible!"

Li Hao looked at his grandpa with even more vigilance.

After the four sat together, Grandpa Li spoke for the first time tonight.

"Lu Xuan, right?"

Pressure instantly came as his gaze swept over.

Lu Xuan puffed out his chest and raised his head: "Yes!"

Old Li was an impatient person and asked directly.

"What was your original intention for making *Dying to Survive*?"

"To express some ideas, and to make better movies."

Lu Xuan summarized in one sentence.

Li Hao wanted to interrupt, but Old Li interrupted him.

"Don't talk."

Li Hao: "......"

Old Li continued to look at Lu Xuan and asked, "Then what do you think of the current domestic film and entertainment industry?"

"This..."

Lu Xuan was stumped.

He didn't know if he should tell the truth.

After all, this old man's thoughts were too difficult to guess.

Fei Qing comforted him from the side: "It's okay, just say what you think, there are no outsiders here."

"Alright."

So, Lu Xuan said eight words.

"A prevailing yin, chaotic and unbearable."

Male actors don't worry about how to play their roles well, but instead focus on their own dress, becoming more and more effeminate.

This is a prevailing yin!

Directors don't focus on character development, but instead prioritize traffic, thinking that traffic is everything.

This is chaotic and unbearable!

After listening to Lu Xuan's answer, Old Li shook his head.

"Are you sure that's what you think?"

There was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

Lu Xuan gritted his teeth and had no choice but to say what he really thought.

"No one asks about the lonely graves of generals, but the affairs of actors are known throughout the world!"

Lu Xuan wasn't talking about film and entertainment.

But talking about the general trend of the country!

A great sadness was summarized by him in one sentence.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.

Li Hao looked nervously at the two old men.

The two old men saw firmness in Lu Xuan's eyes!

This was his answer, Lu Xuan's answer.

Entertainment to death!

Is the most real portrayal of this era.
