[full-time leaf blue] half smoke

8.

The news of Excellent Era's bankruptcy was brought to Ye Xiu by Su Mucheng.She called him and asked him to help clean up the house here, and she also wanted to move to Xingxin's villa.Ye Xiu thought about it and agreed.

September and October are the rainy seasons in H City. Ye Xiu originally wanted to bring an umbrella, but thinking that Su Mucheng would definitely have a spare, he didn't waste his energy.He wore a black inconspicuous baseball cap, and a pair of sunglasses that he had used for many years, and walked out swaggeringly.

Although Shanglin Garden is not remote, it is not too lively.Ye Xiu walked slowly in the direction of Excellent Era Building. On the roadside bus stop, there was a display board displaying Blue River's drink endorsement. The young man was wearing a white shirt, and his smile was very attractive to middle-aged women.After he glanced at it, he wanted to laugh a little, this look is too stupid, Ye Xiu thought, he should take a photo and send it to Lan He to see if he has a chance.

The hot wind with water vapor passed by, and suddenly felt that time was rushing. At this time last year, they were squatting in the film and television studio to shoot a movie. Luo Ji and Mo Fan were too afraid to look at the camera. Baozi moved erratically, and Qiao Yifan played too steadily. And Tang Rou was working too hard... In August, she was training her body, and before that, she was still revising the script to collect people and buy equipment. The timeline was pushed forward, and it was fixed on this road, in that snowy and windy day. At night, he walked out of Excellent Era and faced the unknown road ahead.In a trance, the time line crossed the endless stream of people and returned to him. The bustling voices filled his ears. He was still walking forward in this gloomy and hot weather, at his own pace, but he was not alone.

There is a dormitory for Su Mucheng in the Excellent Era Building. Although she later bought her own house outside, occasionally when she practiced late, she would spend the night here. It's all piled up there now.He smacked his lips to recall, thinking for a while whether he should call a car.

Pushing open the door, the hall, which was extremely noisy with people coming and going, is now full of tea and tea. Even without the 24-hour air-conditioning, it is still full of empty coolness.The dormitory is on the No.12 floor, Su Mucheng is still doing the final tidying, Ye Xiu leans against the wall and smokes in extreme boredom, and starts to go through the plots that need to be paid attention to in the new script sentence by sentence in his mind.

"I used to have a gun called Quexie."

Ye Xiu was taken aback.He is very familiar with this line, and he can even clearly recall the filming process that year.Also in this rainy season, Tao Xuan, who often had to act as a guest director, sat nervously in front of the monitor. The cheapest hotel, everyone sleeps in a large bunk.At that time, everyone had no money, but they all wanted to make a good movie.

He followed the sound and finally stopped at the door of a dormitory.Ye Xiu remembered that this room belonged to Tao Xuan.The sound effects in the room paused, and then there was the sound of pattering people walking. When the door opened, it was indeed Tao Xuan.He turned sideways to let Ye Xiu come in. "One Autumn Leaf" was playing on the computer, and the young man was leading a strong horse as young and vigorous as he was, going backwards on the road that the old knight had walked when he came.The frame was fixed on his face. The young Ye Xiu's profile was a little gray due to the needs of the plot, but his eyes were exceptionally bright, his sword eyebrows were stretched, and his spirit was high.

"How is it?" Ye Xiu asked, handing him a cigarette.

"It's okay, let go early, and the debt is not too much, but the price of the project is kept very low, so it's not easy to negotiate." Tao Xuan took Ye Xiu's cigarette and lit it himself, "I have a question I've always wanted to ask you."

"You said."

"Is "Life" really bad?" Tao Xuanxu squinted his eyes and looked into the distance in confusion.

Ye Xiu looked at him and took a puff of cigarette. The gray smoke mixed with his breath, and his expression was blurred in the dim room: "Even if it's a commercial film, you can't make it with money. The more you want to get from the audience, the more you have to pay. Selling points, word of mouth, box office, the interests of investors, the interests of Excellent Era, the pressure brought by fans, and Xiao Xiao's personal ideals, all of them It has to be condensed into a 120-minute movie. He never thought about facing these before, and he couldn’t balance it. When I was in "Shadow Weaving", more than 100 staff members followed up in batches. Xiao probably got more than me this time, right?"

"Yes, in order to improve efficiency so as not to collide with Samsara, the staff has been doubled." Tao Xuan exhaled and replied.

"He took the safest path, with excellent big scenes and a simple and non-brain-burning plot, but the live-action shooting of "Xiao Xiao" occupies the commanding heights of feelings, and the main focus is on the plot, so the shortcomings will be compared in the comparison The protuberance is shorter, and other aspects are also lowered." Su Mucheng held a suitcase in each hand, looked over at the door, Ye Xiu raised his head, straightened up and planned to leave.

Tao Xuan also saw it, so he set out to send him out. ""Xiao Xiao" is very good-looking, and the ending song is also very good." Standing in the corridor at the door, he stretched out his right hand. Ye Xiu looked at it, and reached out to hold it, "Of course."

Ye Xiu took one of Su Mucheng's luggage and walked forward without looking back.

The door of a room next to the elevator suddenly opened again, and a young man came out. "Qiu Fei?" Ye Xiu was surprised. Although Excellent Era is still operating normally, it is on the verge of bankruptcy and sold off. Many of its artists are taking the opportunity to contact the new owner. Why is he still here.

"Smoking is not allowed in the corridor." The boy said with a slight frown.

Now that the people here are empty, who cares about these rigid rules?

Seeing that Ye Xiu had already put out his cigarette, Qiu Fei stopped talking and walked straight to the elevator.Ye Xiu looked at Su Mucheng, and Su Mucheng said softly, "It's two o'clock."

Ye Xiu suddenly realized that two o'clock in the afternoon is the time for Excellent Era's trainees to have their body class.The three of them walked into the elevator together, and when they turned their heads and waited for the elevator to close, they saw Tao Xuan still standing in front of the dormitory door, watching them leave.

The elevator stopped on the seventh floor, and Qiu Fei walked out unmoved.The elevator door closed slowly again, and was opened again on the fifth floor, and a person who was muttering inexplicably walked in with his head down.

"Why didn't you leave?" Ye Xiu asked in surprise. It was understandable for Qiu Fei to stay. Why is Guan Rongfei, the screenwriter, still here?

"Sigh, "The Law is Unforgiving" was bought by Miracle Entertainment, and there was a need to reorganize the team there. It was just a waste of writing halfway through." Guan Rongfei scratched his head and said regretfully.

"Then don't worry," Ye Xiu patted him on the shoulder, "Come with Xingxin, I'm planning a new movie."

The cash flow from "Xiao Xiao" will probably wait until this time next year, but Xingxin's development cannot stop because of this.Although the movie has been offline, the popularity has not diminished. Due to the outstanding image of Qiao Yifan, Tang Rou and Baozi, many merchants want to come to talk about endorsement and sponsorship. Online games and low-quality brands are rejected, not seeking more but seeking refinement, and moving forward steadily.

Ye Xiu had no choice but to bite the bullet and accepted an advertisement for a watch, and followed the director's request to do all kinds of actions of a domineering president, feeling in a daze that he didn't know how to act anymore.Fortunately, there is also Su Mucheng. She has five advertisements that she has cooperated with for many years. Because of her strong appealing ability, the other party does not want to change partners yet.The renewal of the contract temporarily saved Xingxin's current shortage of funds.

Wu Chen took over as the manager of Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng, allowing Chen Guo to concentrate on management. She needed to come forward to deal with all the income and expenses of the film in the early and late stages, as well as the various copyrights in her hands waiting to make money. Negotiating with people, the phone can ring from the morning until the next morning.In comparison, the rest of Xingxin were very free. Except for the necessary interviews, Ye Xiu either slept in the dormitory or discussed new scripts with Guan Rongfei in the studio; , Su Mucheng is not suitable for being too high-profile; An Wenyi is recruiting his own prop team, and everyone else is participating in some small crews as makeup artists and scene designers to exercise their skills.

In November, various film festivals called one after another, informing what awards "Xiao Xiao" had been selected for.Chen Guo was very happy, and said that she would treat everyone to dinner on the weekend night.Ye Xiu and Wei Chen were not in the mood. It was cold and the house was air-conditioned. They could even buy cigarettes and have them delivered to their door.Qiao Yifan and the others are still young people, and they like going out for dinner the most. Su Mucheng also likes to be lively, so she quickly raised her hands in favor.Seeing that the goddess supported her so much, Chen Guo immediately declared Ye Xiu and Wei Chen's protest invalid, and all members must attend.

On the day of the dinner party, just as everyone sat down, Chen Guo's phone rang again.She picked it up angrily, praying in her heart that it must not be a job.The staff on the other side of the phone had a good temper, and said politely, Hello, Ms. Chen, I am a staff member of the Glory Film Festival. The film "Xiao Xiao" you participated in has won four nominations. Attend the awards ceremony together.

Chen Guo suppressed the urge to scream, and supported the table with one hand. She felt dizzy now, and her whole body was about to float: "Can you tell us which four nominations it is?"

"Best Picture, Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Makeup."
