Reborn as a little director

After finishing the interview with Xie Siqing, Yu Tofu turned to Zhong Yang again: "When you received the invitation for the movie "Planet Murder", what were your thoughts at the time?"

"There is no invitation." Zhong Yang smiled. "After the script came out, Director Yao showed it to me. It was only a draft at the time. He wanted to hear my opinion. At that time, I knew that I would play the leading role."

"What do you think about the character?"

"I haven't challenged this genre in the past, so I always find it interesting."

"Oh...!" Yu Tofu blinked, "I heard that when filming this movie, you were really weightless in the space part..."

"Yes." Zhong Yang nodded, "We rented a zero-gravity plane that NASA used to train astronauts in the past, and that plane has provided assistance for many movies - just in the cabin Fix the camera, the plane flies into the sky, and then falls freely. At this moment, people are in a state of weightlessness, and hurry up to complete the required shots.”

"The news I got is that the body is very uncomfortable like this, and people will vomit non-stop. You also experienced it at the time, is that true?"

"Ah."

"It is said that it flew hundreds of times at that time, because Director Yao is always ng?"

"Yep."

These news are all in the manuscript that Chen Zhengzhi sent.In order to highlight the excellent production of this drama, Chen Zhengzhi wrote a lot about this matter.

Yu Tofu asked again: "Then, did you ever think at that time that you really can't take it anymore and don't want to continue filming at all...I hate the director for torturing you?"

"No." Zhong Yang glanced at Xie Siqing, and then said to Yu Doufu, "I just want to perform the best."

"why?"

"Because...he has expectations of me."

"...?"

"The director has expectations for me. I want to accomplish what he wants."

After a pause, Zhong Yang said again: "Of course, it's also because I have some requirements for myself."

"I understand..." Yu Doufu said again, "So, I didn't want to disappoint the director, this worked."

"Yeah." A little smile appeared on the corner of Zhong Yang's mouth, "As long as I think of his expectations, I will have great strength."

"It can be seen that...you really like the process of working with Director Yao, Shunyu, right?"

"I like it very much." Zhong Yang nodded again, "I cherish it very much, and I cherish it more and more. I think... Director Yao can shoot at most one movie a year. According to his requirements for the movie, it is absolutely impossible to make it shorter Time will come out... And sometimes I am busy, and he needs to wait for me to finish it-after all, I also have other jobs, so the preparation time will be longer, and on average, two movies in three years? And, he also I don’t think that every movie is suitable for me to play the leading role. I must sometimes need to find another actor. Optimistically, every six years, out of four movies, I can participate in two or three of them? It’s 2.5. Think about it sometimes , How many years do I have left to be the lead actor? 20 years? 15 years? It’s impossible for me, who is 30 years old, to still be the lead actor in 60 years. Then, maybe, in this lifetime, I can be the lead actor and carry the burden for him. There are only seven or eight films that hit the box office, so I cherish every opportunity. After all, I have already used it up twice."

"Zhong Yang..." Xie Siqing looked at him firmly.

Xie Siqing didn't think about these things.

He didn't know that Zhong Yang thought so.

Xie Siqing felt that she wanted to hug the person opposite him a little bit.

But no.

All he could do was look at each other like this.

Yu Tofu felt that the atmosphere was a bit weird, so he tried his best to turn back: "This is because, as I heard before, the two of you have a good understanding with each other, don't you? You both regard each other as your own in the movie. I’m here with my bosom friend, so I really hope to have more co-renting opportunities.”

"...En." Zhong Yang responded casually.

……

Then there were some questions about Gu Fei.

After an hour, they all broke up.

The host said that the manuscript would be sent to Chen Zhengzhi before it was published, and Chen Zhengzhi said that there were no problems before it was published.

"..." Xie Siqing felt that he and Zhong Yang would be scolded again.

On the way back, Zhong Yang said to Xie Siqing: "By the way, my parents said..."

"how?"

"Because the movie was released, I didn't go home during the eleventh day, so I was asked to go over this weekend."

"Oh, okay, you go over there."

"That's not what it means." Zhong Yang knew that Xie Siqing thought he was just letting him know, "I was wondering if you want to come with me."

"Ok?"

"Come home with me."

"..."

Xie Siqing met in the hospital before, but that time was more like a chance encounter.

Over there, Zhong Yang said again, "If you're not ready, then wait and see."

"No need." Xie Siqing shook his head, "There is no such thing as ready or not, just take me there this weekend."

"Okay," Zhong Yang glanced at Xie Siqing, "That's it."

However, it is still impossible to say that you are not nervous.

"Well," Xie Siqing kept asking as soon as he got home, "What would be a good gift for your parents?"

In fact, when he was still in the car just now, he used his mobile phone to check a lot of various guidelines and precautions when visiting the parents of his boyfriend and girlfriend for the first time.

Zhong Yang over there replied, "I'm all ready."

"what?"

"You don't have to worry about it."

"..." Xie Siqing asked, "When did you prepare these?"

Zhong Yang stopped talking.

Xie Siqing knew him very well now: "A long time ago?"

"……Um."

"how long?"

"..."

"When we first got together?"

Zhong Yang became impatient: "What's the use of asking these?"

Xie Siqing smiled.

It really looks like something Zhong Yang would do.

Over there Zhong Yang said again: "I think...you would prefer to wait until you succeed before going home with me."

"……Um."

This is real.

He didn't want people to feel that he wasn't good enough for the person around him.

"So," Xie Siqing asked again, "what have you prepared for your father?"

"A complete set of "Chinese Film Yearbook"."

"Well, very good." I didn't collect it all myself.

Zhong Yang's father is a professor at the Film Academy, so he should be more interested in this kind of books.

After thinking about it, Xie Siqing asked again: "Where is the one for your mother?"

"wine."

"Oh?"

"1982 Lafite and 1982 Latour. Lafite is softer, Latour is stronger."

"Yeah." Xie Siqing also knew.In his previous life, he was very good at drinking, and he had tasted a lot of famous wines, but in this life, he could never drink them again.

"She likes these things, and she brings out wine when she treats guests. In fact, I suspect that she can't taste it at all. She just prefers the feeling when showing off."

Zhong Yang suspects that apart from family, his mother only likes money.

"Hey," Xie Siqing said, "it's not good for you to talk about your mother like that..."

"Just the truth."

"But," Xie Siqing asked, "do I not buy anything?"

Zhong Yang thought for a while: "My dad still loves fruit, so just buy some more then."

"Ah."

……

By Saturday, Xie Siqing was wearing his best suit.

Zhong Yang took it off as soon as he saw it, and then chose a new suit for him.

"What's wrong?" Xie Siqing asked.

"Going to meet your parents dressed like this? It makes people feel a lot of pressure. It's better to be more formal and casual."

"... Oh." Xie Siqing buttoned his shirt.

"You really..."

Xie Siqing whispered: "I haven't met my father, so I don't know how to wear it."

Zhong Yang looked down at Xie Siqing, hugged him, and gave him a long kiss.

At the end, he said, "You really don't need to be nervous."

"...Well." Xie Siqing replied, "Not again."

Then, like a slap in the face, not long after, in the fruit supermarket near Zhong Yang's parents' house, Xie Siqing stood next to the cashier, silent for a long time, and then said: "I didn't bring any money."

I was so nervous that I forgot to bring my wallet...

Moreover, I came here to buy things by myself...

Zhong Yang was too conspicuous, so I didn't let him follow.

Although I am not as transparent as before, relatively few people can recognize him, just wear a pair of glasses without prescription and wear a hat casually.

This is really weird. In the past, I didn't feel so nervous when I participated in various major events.

The cashier at the supermarket looked at Xie Siqing: "Just put the things here, you can go out directly."

"Oh……"

Xie Siqing walked back to the parking lot a little depressed, knocked on the car glass: "Zhong Yang."

"Huh?" Zhong Yang was a little surprised to see Xie Siqing's hands empty, "What's wrong?"

"I forgot to bring money—"

Zhong Yang laughed.

"Well, can you lend me some money?"

Zhong Yang gave him a few hundred yuan: "What else do you want to do?"

"Well, still." Xie Siqing said, "Go to see your parents. I don't want to use all of your money. Books and wine will also be paid."

"……whatever."

So Xie Siqing went back to the supermarket, bought fresh fruit, and then followed Zhong Yang to knock on the door.

Fortunately, Zhong Yang's parents knew about his sexuality since he was in junior high school, and they knew about his existence when he was in the hospital last year. It should be... easier.

The person who opened the door was Zhong Yang's father, Xie Siqing's former teacher.

Next to him was Zhong Yang's mother.

"Uncle and aunt..." Xie Siqing looked at the person in front of him, "My name is Yao Shunyu."

"Just call me Mom and Dad." Zhong Yang said, "Go inside first."

As he said, he put his arms around Xie Siqing's shoulders, sent him in first, and then followed him in and closed the door.

"Don't be cautious, don't be cautious." Zhong Yang's father said with a little embarrassment, "One family, one family."

"We have to wait for lunch, let's chat first." Zhong Yang's mother also said, "There is food on the coffee table, take whatever you like."

Xie Siqing found out again that Zhong Yang looked a bit like her.

"I'm the cook today." Zhong Yang's father immediately followed the instructions.

Zhong Yang over there said indifferently: "Will one day not be your cook?"

"..."

"Sun Yu." Zhong Yang's father said again, "You are also a director, right?"

"Ah."

"Planet Killer is your work?"

"Ah."

"It's really good." The other party said again, "I think some of the techniques in it are very special—for example..."

"Oh," Xie Siqing began to explain after listening, "The source of inspiration for this idea was..."

The two of you talked to each other until Zhong Yang's father had to cook.

"I'm going to help too." Xie Siqing greeted Zhong Yang's mother.

After that, Xie Siqing also followed up in the kitchen, helping to choose vegetables while continuing to talk with people.

Zhong Yang: "..."

Zhong Yang's mother: "..."

When he was in school, this professor admired Xie Siqing's works very much, and he helped recommend them to relevant people for several good opportunities.

In order to avoid suspicion, Zhong Yang shouldn't have had much exposure, on the contrary, his competitor has gained a lot from his father.

For several hours, Xie Siqing followed Zhong Yang's father like a tail.

The other party walked into the restaurant with the food, and he followed into the restaurant.

The other party returned to the kitchen, and he followed suit.

Zhong Yang: "..."

Zhong Yang's mother: "..."

During the meal, the two of them seemed to be very high.

During the period, there were times when Xie Siqing felt a little neglected by others, so he wanted to change the topic, but every time the professor didn't listen to a few words, he changed the topic to the movie again.

Zhong Yang sometimes gets involved too.

In the end, Zhong Yang's mother could only lament what evil she had done—three filmmakers in a family.

She has no interest in movies, she started her own company, but never considered investing in movies.

Zhong Yang is always away, and his father has no one to talk to for a long time.

After dinner, Xie Siqing wanted to help clean up.

Zhong Yang said coldly, "Stop pretending."

"..."

"Let's go chat."

"..."

It was already very late when I left Zhong Yang's house.

"Zhong Yang..." Xie Siqing asked, "Did they say... do they like me?"

"My dad must like you."

"That……?"

"Since she loves my dad, she won't hate you."

"Oh." Xie Siqing thought for a while, "Zhong Yang."

"Ok?"

"Next week, come back with me too."

"……it is good."

Although, in fact, Yao, Shunyu's parents are not his own family members, but at least they seem to be, and the other party also thinks they are.After three years, Xie Siqing also developed some feelings for them.Xie Siqing thought, since he and Zhong Yang had already identified each other as lifelong partners, such a big matter shouldn't wait until they came out publicly before letting their family members know about it.

Compared with Xie Siqing, Zhong Yang is much calmer.

Xie Siqing said hello in advance and said that a friend would come with him.

Then, on Saturday, Xie Siqing took Zhong Yang to Yao Shunyu's parents.

Originally, my parents planned to go out to eat, but when they found out that it was a celebrity, they decided to start a business at home and order the takeaway here.

When sister Yao Shunyu saw Xie Siqing, she immediately jumped out of the room: "Brother!"

"Ah."

"I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

"...?"

"Wait for me, I have something for you!"

"...?"

Then, Xie Siqing saw her sister bring out a pile of various papers.

"That's it." My sister said, "A voucher from the supermarket! It's 10 yuan, you hurry up and use it! Also, I bought a shop's signature cake, which is not far from the supermarket, and I'll pick it up for you. The last one is this, KFC Discount coupon, I want this package... let's go!"

Xie Siqing lowered his head to confirm: "Well, good."

"hey-hey……"

This is a little unbelievable to Yao Shunyu's parents.

Now, this brother dotes on his sister very much.

However, three years ago, Yao, Shunyu was not like this—his personality was relatively withdrawn, and he didn't like to talk to people very much.Since a brain operation, many things have changed.

Xie Siqing really dotes on this younger sister.

Three years ago, when he woke up, this was the first person he saw.

He was very flustered at the time, but the other party's eyes were red and swollen, and he was very happy to see him wake up, which made him feel a lot more at ease.

Although it wasn't aimed at him, but if she wasn't by the hospital bed, and he woke up to find that his face was different from before, he would definitely be a hundred times more terrified than before.

Xie Siqing talked to Zhong Yang, and went out with a bunch of coupons.

When I came back an hour later, the takeaway my parents ordered had already arrived.

Yao Shunyu's family background is good or bad, and they order some home-cooked dishes.

"Dad, Mom, there is one thing I want to say..." After hesitating for a while, Xie Siqing finally spoke.

"And me?" My sister asked.

"Well, yes, and you."

"what happened?"

"It's just..." Xie Siqing looked at the three people, "Zhong Yang, you all knew each other just now..."

Parents are watching quietly.

Xie Siqing said softly again: "Actually, the two of us live together."

"..." After a while, Yao Shunyu's parents said, "Oh... ah... share the rent?"

"No." Xie Siqing said, "Economically... I'm okay."

"I don't think so either." The parents smiled, "But there are also some people who can spend money very well and live in poverty..."

"……no."

"Oh," the other party said again, "then it's good to find a roommate, it's too deserted to be alone."

"Dad, Mom..." Xie Siqing thought for a while and said, "The two of us... will live together for the rest of our lives."

"Ah!" My sister suddenly yelled, "You two are really a couple!"

"...Well." Xie Siqing looked at his sister, "It started a year and a half ago."

"Brother..." My sister looked at Zhong Yang's face, "You really are a winner in life..."

"..."

Over there, the parents seemed too shocked to speak.

It seems that Yao, Shun and Yu never mentioned it.

Think about it too.He loved Shao Yu to that extent, but his sister didn't even know that he and Shao Yu knew each other.

Yao, Shun and Yu in the past were always very silent.

Perhaps, this kind of character made him even more reluctant.

"So..." Xie Siqing said, "I want to let you know that Zhong Yang is...very important to me."

He didn't say "for comment", he just said "to keep you informed".

Everyone understands what it means.

After a long time, the parents said with some seriousness: "If you think it's good, that's good, but don't be led by the circle to try something new."

For this son, Yao Shunyu's parents can only have this attitude.

I have always been sensitive in the past, I have committed suicide several times, and my family members dare not do anything. Although it looks good now, no one can guarantee anything, and it will be even worse if something happens.

Moreover, as a director, now that he has achieved fame and fortune, it seems difficult for his parents to produce the majesty of the past.

"That..." Xie Siqing said again, "Zhong Yang is a very good person, don't worry about anything."

"Yeah." The parents were silent for a while, and then they spoke again, "Yao, Shunyu... needs more attention."

Zhong Yang smiled softly: "I will always take good care of him."

Xie Siqing whispered, "I don't need your care."

Zhong Yang glanced at Xie Siqing.

Xie Siqing immediately realized that he seemed a little ignorant of his conscience when he said this.

After dinner, the younger sister took out a notebook for Zhong Yang to sign, saying that it was for many of her friends.

Xie Siqing asked, "Do you want me to sign too?"

The younger sister immediately said with disgust: "Who wants your autograph?"

"..."

Then, just as the two were about to go back, their parents suddenly called Zhong Yang to stop.

Zhong Yang: "...?"

"You..." the parents hesitated, "It's your first visit...we're not very prepared, so take this back."

Zhong Yang looked down and saw a red envelope.

Feel the thickness, about 2000 yuan.

"..."

Xie Siqing was a little touched.

I don't know, if it is my parents who have passed away, what would I do at this time.

Giving 2000 yuan to Zhong Yang's "prospective daughter-in-law" may seem awkward or even funny, but it is their simple thoughts.

……

——That's it, Zhong Yang and Xie Siqing, both of them changed their homes.

In the next few months, a lot of important things happened.

"Planet Dead" was selected to represent China in the best foreign language film competition.

Competing films must be released more than two weeks before October 10, and this film fits the bill.

In January, the nomination list was announced, and "Planet Killer" was shortlisted.

The movie was released on January 1, with a box office of 31 billion, making it the first in history.

Because it was shortlisted for the best foreign language film, Chen Zhengzhi began to contact overseas screenings.

At the end of February, the awards ceremony was held. "Planet Killer" failed to win the best foreign language film, but instead won a best art direction and best cinematography.

In this regard, Zhang Yiran was the one who reacted the most.

Because there is no best photography.

As for the best foreign language film, it is not surprising that it did not win an award.

It is not in line with the usual taste of the best foreign language film-there prefers some films about the experiences of people in different environments and cultures, sometimes with some political overtones.

Xie Siqing wanted to win the award, but he didn't want to pander to it.

In his opinion, if it is not the story he really wants to tell, it is impossible to tell it well.

So, he has to wait.
