Villain C debut [entertainment]

Tang Chuxing also met with screenwriter Meng before officially joining the group.

Meng Xi came here by herself, and said straight to the point: "Perhaps you have heard of the story of "Nine Days Orphanage" which I wrote to commemorate my friend."

Tang Chuxing smiled, nodded and waited for her next words.

Meng Xi stared at him for a while, a little lost in thought, as if she was looking at others through him.

The two met in a coffee shop downstairs in Huafan. The seat was near the window, surrounded by decorative fences, it was a hidden and private corner.

Tang Chuxing re-read the script several times when he was losing weight at home, and he also heard that "Jiuyi Orphanage" was adapted from the real experience of a high school friend of screenwriter Meng.The orphanage presented in the script may be different from most people's impressions. It is an environment that children who grow up in the sun can't imagine. It is a kind of oppressive darkness with no end in sight.

Meng Xi lowered her eyelids and stirred the coffee in her hand. The sound of the metal spoon colliding with the cup wall shook the flying dust floating in the sun.

"The name Jiuyi was chosen by me." She put down the mixing spoon and leaned back, "The orphanage my old friend was in at that time was still an orphanage in a relatively wealthy city in the east. It's still like this in his place. It's hard to imagine those What an orphanage in a backward area would look like."

Meng Xi said: "I can contact orphanages where I can do volunteer work. They are all regular and relatively good ones. I have no chance to see those who really don't make it to the public."

Seemingly just talking casually to let him get to know him better, Meng Xi seemed to drop by and sighed a few words, telling him to remember to arrive on time for the start-up ceremony and then ready to leave. The memory of the year is suddenly hard to suppress.

Tang Chuxing saw the corner of Meng Xi's mouth move, but he still didn't say anything.

In mid-June, "September 6st Orphanage" was officially launched.

Before the filming officially started, there was a week-long reading, mainly to familiarize everyone with the script and the actors in the same group. This time, in addition to the two male protagonists, Fang Yan, who is capable, there is also a cast of old actors. Tang Chuxing said that he is not nervous at all. It is also impossible.

Especially after the filming started, the first scene was originally scheduled to be the youth scene of the two male protagonists. Because Fang Yan had an announcement and couldn't make it, it was replaced with a rival scene between the director of the orphanage and some gossip aunts in the town.

The director is played by a middle-aged actress Qi Xiu, a well-known "mother" professional, who has acted in several well-known family ethics dramas before.

In "September [-] Orphanage", Qixiu plays the dean of a middle-aged single woman with a slender figure and good looks. She is not a native of the town. She had a child before but died unexpectedly, and her husband died early. He came to the town and became the director of this orphanage.

Because I often lobbied some wealthy bosses and citizens around me to donate money and materials to the orphanage, and if I didn’t have enough money, I advertised it everywhere on the Internet just to raise more funds.Although this kind of move will not be excluded, some gossip is indispensable.The orphanage is still supported by government funds. Although the money received each year is far less than the expenditure, in the eyes of outsiders, it is the director who is pocketing himself.

This scene started with the practice of some women in the town eating melon seeds and chewing their tongues.

A small two-story building next door to the orphanage is always crowded with people eating melon seeds and sweaters and chatting. There is a woman named Wang Lilian living in the small building. Because her husband is away for business all the year round, and the only son in the family also goes out to study, he often Feeling a little lonely, I found a bunch of neighbors to gossip. The woman is generous and always brings out those small snacks to entertain. Over time, this place seems to be a good place for gossip and chat.

On this day, the dean happened to come out of the owner's house of a silk factory in the town, holding a paper bag of money in his hand, and was caught by a stare when he passed by the small building to return to the orphanage.One of the round women in yellow was staring at the money bag that was carefully stuffed into her pocket, and spit out the melon seed husks in her mouth.Seeing that the people around didn't seem to be paying attention, he cleared his throat loudly, pushed the others and said, "Hey Liqin, have you heard?"

How many stories, rumors, and legends start with this sentence pattern, especially gossip, people especially like to use this sentence as the opening line.

The young woman who was pushed regained her spirits immediately and asked, "Sister Zhao has golden ears, what have you heard? Tell everyone about it."

The woman in yellow clothes surnamed Zhao sat sideways, as if she didn't see the person coming this way, she opened her mouth with a sarcasm: "It's the one next door." She paused, everyone who chatted here knew the person next door Who is that. "Listen to my nephew, his teacher knows a few money managers in the government. You don't know, the part that is allocated to the orphanage every year is a big one!"

The eyes of the few people around couldn't help turning aside, and the woman surnamed Zhao ignored it and continued to tsk-tsk: "We can't imagine that some people look very simple, but they actually have a lot of money in their pockets."

The woman's surname is Zhao Ming Guoqin, a local, her family is not very rich, and her husband still gambles and plays with women all day long, but because she can't give birth to a boy, she insists on not saying a word for so many years, just looking at the foreigner. The dean is particularly displeasing to the eye.She seized the opportunity to make some sarcasm, and as soon as she finished speaking, she was touched by Wang Lilian, intending to change the subject—everyone is in front of her, and there is no great hatred, and there is no need to be hated.

"Fortunately, the money is used in the right place. I think the children in that yard are doing well."

As soon as she finished speaking, the dean in the distance had already come closer, paused in her footsteps, and continued to move forward. A few steps away was the gate of the orphanage, and the sound of children chasing and playing could still be heard inside.

Seeing that she didn't react at all, Zhao Guoqin was even more annoyed, and felt that she had hit the mark, and shouted loudly: "Lilian is so kind." She stared straight at the people passing by, and the words that came out of her mouth Unceremoniously, "You don't know, the last time I met Xiao Chen in that yard went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and he specially picked those fruits that were about to rot and vegetables that had been left overnight."

"Some people look enthusiastic and take care of the children on the surface, but in fact, all the money goes into their pockets." Zhao Guoqin snorted disdainfully: "I looked at the door at noon a few days ago, and the child was holding the money in his hand. The rice bowl, what are the red and yellow paste inside, it's a pity."

The sound of footsteps has stopped, and the surroundings are silent. Several people who were eating melon seeds and drinking tea looked at each other. Even the young woman who usually loves to talk with people in their arms saw that the person had gone this way, so she hurriedly pushed and pushed. Those who sarcasm, remind you in a low voice to stop talking.

Normally, Zhao Guoqin just said one or two stabs, and would not quarrel with people face to face, but this morning she just let her man scold her, and she has been holding her breath for a whole day, and now her temper is up. What, just tell the truth." Then he turned his head to look at the person who had already walked up to him, raised his head arrogantly, and said what he said was righteous.

"Dean Yao, since you heard it, I'll just say it straight. You don't usually go to this or that to raise funds. Last time I heard that you went to the city to do publicity, and you got a lot of donations from others. Where did the money go? Give pig food to the children in your yard, and you have the nerve to say that you are doing charity?”

Yao Qing's chest rose and fell as if he was trying to restrain his temper. He glanced around at the few people sitting there, and only asked, "You're so fond of pointing fingers, have you ever donated a penny? I usually go to other people's houses to eat and drink. You can also save a lot, and I don’t ask you to do charity, don’t let your man take the money for gambling, it can be considered as a contribution to the country.”

There was a sound of breathing all around, and Zhao Guoqin stood up suddenly, pointed at her nose and scolded her, scolded her for anything unpleasant, and started to slap her when she was poked at the sore spot, the sound of quarreling here attracted several children in the orphanage , looking here at the door.

Like how many times before, the ridicule, ridicule and abuse all came to the head, and it was almost impossible to contain his emotions. Yao Qing clenched his fingers tightly and interrupted the other party's chattering cursing: "Call me hypocritical, what are you? It’s not that there is this orphanage, these children are homeless, sick, frozen, starved to death, will you come and take them home to raise them! I am saving people with practical actions, even if I save people with a deadpan expressionless attitude and a very bad attitude. Save people! This is much brighter and grander than your talk of the truth!"

The noise of the quarrel here is too great, and several other families have already come here to watch the excitement.Really not wanting to make a scene too ugly, Wang Lilian quickly stood up and stopped Zhao Guoqin, who wanted to continue scolding, saying that it was all a misunderstanding, so she signaled the others to quickly stop Yao Qing over there.

All of a sudden, there was some chaotic voices. Seeing more and more people coming up from all around, Yao Qing's mind buzzed a little. He touched his purse with his right hand and clenched it tightly. A wave of sea water will engulf her.

In the life of "Beng", the surroundings finally quieted down.

Zhao Guoqin, who was held back, was dumbfounded, looked at the broken glass at her feet, and even held her breath.

Under this suffocating pause, Yao Qing's breathing was terrifyingly loud, and the words he said seemed to freeze: "It's not nutritious to feed your children this kind of pig food if you say anything. How much does it cost to live and support some people to go to school? Do you know where our money comes from?" The dean who suddenly broke out was hysterical, "I begged for it everywhere, I just knelt down and begged everyone to donate Give us a little money."

She pushed away the person who came over to persuade the fight, and pointed at the plaque not far away with her arms raised.The sunlight shone on the striking hollow metal characters, attracting everyone's attention.

"Perhaps there are places where you can hire teachers and nurses at will without spending money on love and patience. Every year, you don't need to collect donations yourself, and there is a steady stream of name coins, but those are called welfare homes." Yao Qing's arms hung down. , the right hand holding the money bag tightened even more, and said: "And we, look at the words on the sign, we are an orphanage, Jiuyi Orphanage."

The few little heads who were still crowded by the door were scared back when the dean threw the cup.The noise of playing in the courtyard that had been faintly heard had also stopped, and the empty gate was extraordinarily deserted, as if it had been discovered for the first time.
