Reborn as a little director

After Shao Yu left, Xie Siqing asked Zhong Yang: "What do you think?"

Zhong Yang snorted coldly: "It's not that good."

Xie Siqing felt strange: "...Is this not so good?"

"Yes." Zhong Yang emphasized again.

Xie Siqing asked: "What's wrong?"

"The acting is not bad." Zhong Yang replied, "The other aspects are not very good."

"...What do you mean by other aspects?"

"...It's other aspects."

Xie Siqing felt that Zhong Yang's thoughts were becoming more and more difficult to fathom.

Although he never understood it, Zhong Yang was obviously different from normal people these days.

Feelings of growing psychosis—

"Then," Xie Siqing asked, "do you want to choose someone else?"

"..." Zhong Yang paused, and then replied, "That's not true."

"..." Xie Siqing felt that he couldn't keep up with Zhong Yang's thoughts at all.

Is Zhong Yang really a human from Earth?

Could it be that the aliens did not have enough training time before coming to Earth?

He was obviously very dissatisfied with Shao Yu just now...

After thinking for a while and really not understanding, Xie Siqing continued to ask: "Why?"

"Because he really fits the role."

"..."

Zhong Yang said again: "I don't like the distinction between public and private."

……private?What is private?

Xie Siqing thought, when did Shao Yu offend Zhong Yang just now?Shao Yu is always gentle and polite, he is definitely not a flamboyant person, everyone likes him, this kind of thing that offends a person in a second is not what Shao Yu would do, Zhong Yang is the best.

When Shao Yu auditioned, he was obviously fine...

"Also," Zhong Yang said again, "Can you be more professional?"

"……I?"

Xie Siqing didn't understand why he was unprofessional.

Zhong Yang glanced at Xie Siqing again: "Don't always stare at my hero."

"……Oh."

It was meant to be this.

There is no way to refute this sentence.

I was really lost just now——

"So," after a few seconds, Xie Siqing asked again, "Have you decided to be Shao Yu?"

"almost."

"Then why didn't you tell him just now?" Xie Siqing said, "And let him wait for another two weeks?"

"For an actor of this level," Zhong Yang said, "it is necessary for him to understand that I don't have to rely on him."

Xie Siqing understood.

This is to delay him deliberately, so that the actors know who is the absolute authority on the set.

Now there are endless things about big-name entertainers being willful.

"But..." Xie Siqing said, "Shao Yu won't play big names, he's not that kind of person."

"I think so." Zhong Yang said, "But it's just to be on the safe side, it's just a habit."

After all, they collaborated on a commercial.

"Shao Yu is really fine." Xie Siqing said seriously, "I think it's almost a week. How about starting the contract negotiation on Friday?"

Xie Siqing understood very well that if Shao Yu really wanted to accept this film, it would be very torturous to wait two weeks for a news, and no matter what he did, he would be absent-minded and always think about the film.

"...I said, what are you feeling sorry for?" Zhong Yang's tone was not pleasant, "Why are you so attached to that person?"

"……no."

"Not what?"

Xie Siqing couldn't answer either.

Zhong Yang was right.

He was indeed facing Shao Yu.

A partner and friend for 7 years, and always harboring guilt, Xie Siqing always unconsciously wants to help Shao Yu.

"Follow me to the office." Zhong Yang got angry for a while, feeling quite boring, so he changed the subject, "Let me show you the timetable."

"it is good."

Xie Siqing followed Zhong Yang into the office.

Zhong Yang pointed at the chair: "Sit."

"No need." Xie Siqing said, "I'll bring another one."

"What are you moving?" Zhong Yang said, "I've already looked at it, you just sit here and look at it and it's over, it won't take 5 minutes."

"Oh..." Xie Siqing selected a form with the mouse, "Is it this?"

"Correct."

Xie Siqing opened it.

Zhong Yang stood behind him.

After watching for a while, Xie Siqing asked: "Here..."

"Ok?"

"Is it too late here?" Xie Siqing selected a cell.

"where?"

"The selection part."

"let me see."

Zhong Yang leaned over.

He leaned on the armrest of the chair with one hand, bent slightly, and followed to look at the computer screen.

"Well." Zhong Yang said, "The producer has a suitable venue in mind, so it shouldn't take too long, but it would be better to reserve more."

"This way—" Xie Siqing realized that Zhong Yang was too close.

But it seems impolite to avoid it on purpose——

So Xie Siqing froze there.

Unexpectedly, Zhong Yang would not leave for a long time.

He slowly pulled the form from beginning to end: "Let me see if there are any other similar questions."

"..."

Xie Siqing thought: Doesn't Zhong Yang understand the need to keep distance between unfamiliar people?

After a while, Zhong Yang said again: "Probably nothing else."

"Um……"

Zhong Yang straightened up, lowered his eyes to look at Xie Siqing and asked, "Have you found someone to invest in your own film?"

Xie Siqing shook his head.

During this period of time, he also tried his best to get to know people in the circle, but the progress in this regard was really limited.

Zhong Yang said: "Let me introduce you to some companies that I know that may invest in newcomers."

Xie Siqing looked up at Zhong Yang.

"How about it?"

"Zhong Yang." Xie Siqing said, "Thank you."

"..."

"I don't know what I can return, anyway, if you have anything to ask, you can come to me."

"..." Zhong Yang looked away, "I don't need it."

"But you have helped me many times, and I want to pay you back."

"Then you can save it." Zhong Yang said again, "There is nothing you need to do now. You save all these favors. You can accumulate 5 points for a small favor, 10 points for a big busyness, and one hundred points for a big favor. And a big one."

"Like what?"

"Promise with your body."

"...Are you kidding me?"

"Who's kidding you?" Zhong Yang said, "Don't be too hasty, it's always difficult to find investment at the beginning."

"Ah."

"Do you know how the first film I directed got funded?"

"I am not sure……"

Zhong Yang waited for a while, and found that Xie Siqing did not respond, so he said again: "Why don't you ask me how I got the investment?"

"..." Actually Xie Siqing was not very interested, but he still followed Zhong Yang and asked, "How did you get it?"

"Oh, I said I wanted to make a movie, and immediately someone wanted to invest."

"..." I knew it would be like this...

Zhong Yang asked again: "Then I should know what my first movie was, right?"

"..." I really... don't know...

Xie Siqing felt that he knew it before, but he really couldn't remember it now.

Zhong Yang stared at Xie Siqing for a long time: "Why don't you know about me?"

Xie Siqing was silent for a while: "I don't really care about other people's affairs."

"The first one is "The Well of Time", you remember."

"……Oh."

Finally, before leaving, Xie Siqing looked at the books on Zhong Yang's bookshelf.

Hey……?

There is this out-of-print book...

Xie Siqing had been looking for it for a long time before, but he never bought it.

"Take it away if you like it." Zhong Yang said suddenly.

"Hey?"

"I've already flipped through it." Zhong Yang said, pulling out the book.

"Then I'll borrow it for a few days." Xie Siqing said, "I will return it to you later."

"No, it's the same everywhere."

Then, as if Zhong Yang suddenly remembered something, he pulled out a book from the bottom: "This is also for you."

Xie Siqing looked down at the cover: "..."

"what happened?"

"Isn't this your biography?"

"Yes." Zhong Yang said, "The publisher sent me fifty copies, but I have no one to send them to. You should take one quickly."

"Oh..." Xie Siqing also put it away, and briefly flipped through it, as if he was talking about the year when he won the first international award, and then asked casually, "Have you seen it yourself?"

"of course not."

"...Huh?" Xie Siqing asked, "Aren't you afraid of their random writing?"

Zhong Yang said: "This kind of book is for idiots, so what are you doing seriously?"

"..." Xie Siqing was speechless again.

——Since it’s all for idiots, why don’t you let me read it?
