Reborn as a little director

Zhong Yang asked: "May I treat you to a meal?"

"...No need." Xie Siqing asked politely again, "How have you been these past few months?"

"I'm filming the fifth part of "The Well of Time", which is the final work."

Xie Siqing nodded: "You said earlier that the investor hoped to release it this year."

"Probably later." Zhong Yang said, "But there won't be many, and it will be released around the Spring Festival."

"So," Xie Siqing asked, "are you picking the next book?"

"I didn't deliberately choose." Zhong Yang replied, "It happened that the other party came to find me."

"Yeah." Xie Siqing nodded, "Then it's basically settled?"

"probably."

"'Should be'?" Xie Siqing thought for a while, as if he suddenly remembered something, "Just now the boss of Mung Bean Cake asked you if you are sure to make this one, and you will not choose another script. If you nod, he will start looking for that book Director... You also said that it should be, does it matter?"

"Your slap is quite good."

"...You two said it in front of me, okay?" Xie Siqing said.

"It is indeed related." Zhong Yang said, "Mung Bean Cake did not know where to find a good screenwriter. When I contacted me, I took out two books and let me choose."

"Ah."

"I am more inclined to talk about this now, although I still have a little hesitation."

"Can I know why?"

Zhong Yang paused, and then pretended to be relaxed and said: "That story is better."

"……Um?"

"But what I'm talking about now is the style I'm good at."

Xie Siqing looked at him.

"What's wrong? Say whatever you want." Zhong Yang said.

"It's nothing." Xie Siqing shook his head: "It just doesn't feel like you."

"What doesn't look like me?"

"It's not like you to be timid."

Zhong Yang frowned: "... What did you say?"

"Then let me be straightforward." Xie Siqing said, "Did you choose this one because you are more confident that you won't smash it?"

"It's easy for you to say." Zhong Yang said, "It's not so easy to try a new genre."

Xie Siqing asked: "...Is it because you failed once last year?"

"So," Zhong Yang said, "I hate that feeling."

Last year, Zhong Yang tried a very different film. Not only was the box office unsatisfactory, but also bad reviews from all sides followed. It was considered to be the only failure in his directorial career so far, a very bad film.

Xie Siqing looked at him: "But you are obviously not reconciled."

"..."

"You are so hesitant, in fact, because you think in your heart that this style should be manageable, right? Otherwise, why hesitate?"

"...Yao, Shunyu," Zhong Yang said, "You have opened your mind again."

"..." Xie Siqing didn't know why he said these things, he was definitely not a person who could talk a lot.

Zhong Yang asked: "Faced with this situation, what is a smart choice, can't you think of it?"

"..."

"That's it."

"..."

Xie Siqing watched Zhong Yang leave.

He could imagine how a person who has always been surrounded by halos would feel after suddenly receiving a lot of bad reviews.

However, he always felt that Zhong Yang should be different.

That person was obviously not reconciled.

Perhaps, if it were someone else, they would have no burden to choose a script with the same style as their own in the past, but Zhong Yang should be different.

Now, Xie Siqing can't tell what kind of feelings he has for Zhong Yang.

Before, he suspected that Zhong Yang was the one who killed him, but now he is more and more uncertain.

——Because it's really not like it.

Xie Siqing still didn't think it would be Shao Yu.

Chi Wenyue...he didn't know.

After seeing Chi Wenyue last time, Xie Siqing discovered that the relationship between Chi Wenyue and himself was not as harmonious and harmonious as it seemed on the surface.

However, he was afraid of doubting Chi Wenyue.

It makes him feel pathetic and pathetic.

At that time, he loved that person wholeheartedly, and if in the end, he died at the hands of Chi Wenyue—this is really like the most painful drama.

Xie Siqing recalled the situation at that time over and over again, thinking, could it be someone other than the three of them?

After thinking too much, my head became dizzy.

In the end, he decided that it was better not to identify who was the murderer.

Strange to say, after this rebirth, the person I had the most contact with was actually Zhong Yang who disliked each other in the "previous life".

Moreover, Zhong Yang helped himself several times.

If not, I wouldn't have had the chance to enter the finals of the microfilm competition; I would have been forced to participate in Lawson's advertisement; moreover, I probably wouldn't have had the chance to meet Chi Wenyue to talk about investment.

After returning home, Xie Siqing checked the discussions on Zhong Yang's failed work at that time.

Xie Siqing is very familiar with where to look.

Then, he made a phone call to Zhong Yang.

"What?" Zhong Yang was not angry.

"Give me your email address."

"What?"

"Drop a bomb over there."

"..."

"Did you know that bombs can now be transmitted by mail, and they are very powerful, killing or injuring them."

"..." Zhong Yang reported an address.

One minute later, Xie Siqing sent an email to Zhong Yang.

There are all positive comments about that work.

To be honest, it is really not easy to find so many positive reviews amidst the sky full of negative reviews.

The affirmative reports are less than one percent.

Xie Siqing has searched all those websites, and then felt that there were too few, so he used a search engine to search, and turned to more than 100 pages, and stopped until he couldn't see any relevant results. He intercepted almost all the websites that can be found on the Internet. s things.

Some comments use 200 words to praise what can be praised, and then use 2000 words to criticize. Xie Siqing only copied the first 200 words.

Finally, there is a dense email.

He hoped that these would restore some confidence to Zhong Yang.

Zhong Yang quickly called back: "What do you mean?"

"Have you seen any of these before?"

"No." Zhong Yang said, "I don't want to watch the topics related to that movie."

"However," Xie Siqing said, "someone still finds that you have these shining points that you have never shown before. For example, the delicate expression of family affection has never been seen before."

After a pause, he said, "Don't you want to continue exploring? What other possibilities do you have? Then, use them with ease, break through the current you, and shoot the best works you can."

"..."

"Do you want to shoot the subjects you are good at in the future?" Xie Siqing said, "talented new directors emerge in endlessly, and there will always be someone trying to break into your field. If you stay in the existing territory and keep the same look, then It will only be continuously compressed by others, slowly shrinking, until it is completely withdrawn."

"..."

"There are better notebooks, why don't you accept them?"

Zhong Yang was silent for a while, and then said: "Let me think about it."

"Hmm." Xie Siqing asked again, "Can I ask what the story is?"

"It's a comedy." Zhong Yang paused for a few seconds, and briefly described, "The protagonist accidentally got a koi that can fulfill all wishes. The koi told him that everything in the world is conserved and cannot be created out of thin air. , nor disappear out of thin air, you get these, someone will lose. At first, the protagonist was unwilling to put another person in a difficult situation for his own greed. But then something happened, and he began to use koi more and more on the road Going farther and farther. In an accident, he lost this koi... Later, he was surprised to find that the so-called "someone" who said "if you get these, someone will lose them" refers to the previous The person who made a wish with the koi. The protagonist got into various unfortunate events because of this, and his life was far worse than before he got the koi. In the end, he understood that only by relying on what he got would he not worry about losing. He found a way to That koi was finally braised in soy sauce."

"Sounds good." Xie Siqing said.

"Yeah." Zhong Yang said, "Some things about psychological transformation and human nature are portrayed very well."

"Then think about it again."

"Ah."

"I want to say one more thing." Xie Siqing said, "With your current reputation, even if you make ten more bad movies, there will still be people who want to cooperate with you. You can go back to your own field at any time, but if you want Going one step further, relying on what you have now is not enough. I don’t think the situation is as bad as you think.”

"……I see."
