Can't fly

The greenery is thick, and one or two leaves in the shadows of the trees are dyed golden in the early morning.

The wisp of light gold did not fade until dusk. After living in Pingjing for so many years, Yang Yuanyi looked at it from a distance, and knew that it would spread like ripples in the entire sea of ​​trees in the near future.

Acacias, ginkgoes, phoenix trees, and eucalyptus trees are all decorated with autumn light, ushering in the most splendid season in Pingjing.

This year the temperature has dropped rapidly, and every August, the evening wind has a chill that pierces the shirt.When Yang Yuanyi received a call from Chen Yusheng, he had just changed the script of "Falling into the Water" to the third edition.

Although Yang Wanyi said that she would provide him with support, Yang Yuanyi doesn't think this is the best opportunity to continue filming.

"Falling into the Water" was too twists and turns, the enthusiasm of both the actors and the team was seriously dampened, and he hastily took over, and the previous version was revised with painstaking efforts, and the effect was of course not ideal.

Shuotian didn't want to file those clips that had been filmed, and Yang Yuanyi naturally kept them.Chen Yusheng was dissatisfied with him in his words, but he didn't mention a word and completely ignored the project.

But anyone who listens to it will feel that "Falling into the Water" was sentenced to death the moment it was cut in half.

Yang Yuanyi glanced at the phone and turned on the speakerphone: "What's the matter?"

"Come and drink!" Chen Yusheng's tone was a little excited, and he was familiar with the slutty, "Your injury is almost healed, and you are bored all day. Are you going to cultivate immortality? Hurry up, 'Xingyun No. [-]'!"

"No." Yang Yuanyi muffled.

Chen Yusheng: "Isn't it you! The sudden death of the project is such a big hit? I haven't seen you for a few months. Come on, Yuanyi, shall I apologize for your crimes? There are still a few 'presidents' of Huaying today, give me some For the sake of face, I call you because of your mother's old acquaintances."

Yang Yuanyi caught a subtle hint in his words and refused to get stuck in his throat.

Sensing his hesitation, Chen Yusheng struck while the iron was hot: "That's it, the driver will come to your garage right away. Don't worry, Yuanyi, what's the relationship between us, will I treat you badly?"

The man was probably almost drunk.

Chen Yusheng might be drinking like this because he was too happy, or it was serious business as he said.

Huaying has state-owned assets, and Yang Yuanyi pondered for a moment. He has no other ideas recently but hopes that "Falling into the Water" can continue to be filmed. Jiashang's investment is still in the verbal stage...

Standing up, Yang Yuanyi looked down at his simple home attire, sighed and entered the cloakroom.

"Xingyun No. [-]" occupies the natural garden in the west, and has all kinds of leisure activities from restaurants to hotels, hot springs, golf courses, coffee shops, galleries and even KTV rooms. It is one of the largest entertainment clubs in Pingjing.There are also many people in the film and television industry who like to gather here, because it is very private and there are many things to play.

The Xincheng mansion is not far from this place, and when we arrived, the night had engulfed the last bit of sunset.

Without declaring his family name, someone called "Director Yang" and graciously led him to the Cantonese restaurant where Chen Yusheng had a party.Pushing the door open, Yang Yuanyi first heard the sound of mahjong in the box, and then smelled the aroma of wine.

Seeing him, Chen Yusheng approached quietly.

The white wine glass was stuffed into his hand, seeing Yang Yuanyi's confused expression, Chen Yusheng lowered his voice:

"Jin Tao, the chairman of Huaying Production Branch, is a distinguished guest today. He and Teacher Yang Wei are old friends. Huaying is going to shoot "One Night Genius". If he talks to you about this later, it's a good chance."

"I remember it was a short story...?"

"Correct."

Yang Yuanyi's face darkened: "Won't you tell me earlier?"

Chen Yusheng thought he was nervous and could not see the gloom in Yang Yuanyi's eyes: "This is a surprise! If there is no accident, I will choose you, Yin Muyuan and Lan Zhihua in the end—President Jin is here."

Jin Tao is over fifty years old, tall and tall, and looks quite Buddhist.He puts on the airs of an elder, but he can't hide his preference for talking with Yang Yuanyi naturally: "Xiao Yang, I like your "Suddenly It's Too Late"."

The arc of Yang Yuan's smile hides his reluctance.

"Thank you, President Jin."

"Casual, casual." Jin Tao thought he was stiff, "We are all in the same circle. We cooperate with Jiashang very often. You have just started, and you won the best director of Golden Olive. The future is bright, and we will cooperate sooner or later. ——I am looking forward to it, I hope this opportunity is not too far away."

In words, partiality is obvious.

Others might be too excited to hear it, but Yang Yuanyi remained calm: "Thank you Mr. Jin for your appreciation, I will definitely have the opportunity."

The attitude was even a little perfunctory, but Jin Tao didn't know that not only was he not unhappy, but he wanted to continue to talk with him in depth, talking about his understanding of the images in Yang Yuanyi's films.He has been in the industry for decades and has seen a lot. Unknowingly, Yang Yuanyi let go of his initial guard and echoed a few words.

Jin Tao talked about his friendship with Yang Wei when he was young, a secretary-like person walked over quickly, whispered something to Jin Tao, his face was anxious: "Look..."

"Let's go." After responding, Jin Tao smiled apologetically, "You called me over there, Yuanyi, I have your contact information, and I will make an appointment with your father, and I will bring my son to have dinner together potluck?"

"It should." Yang Yuanyi said with a smile.

Watching Jin Tao leave, Yang Yuanyi withdrew his mask-like polite smile bit by bit.He lowered his eyes, picked up the glass to sip the wine that was about to overflow, and covered his face that was stiff because of hypocrisy and resignation.

Spicy and sweet, except that there is nothing more to taste.

Secretly thinking that this day is about to end, he turned his face and met someone with a look of resentment, Yang Yuanyi asked nonchalantly:

"What happened to you?"

Chen Yusheng watched from the side for a long time, his only distraction towards Yang Yuanyi was his hatred of iron and steel: "You are so noble, you are starting to look down on Huaying? Boss Jin doesn't want anything from you, just now he looked good enough to die?"

"I can't handle Huaying's stuff." Yang Yuanyi said directly, "Don't bother me, let Yin Muyuan and Lan Zhihua grab it."

Chen Yusheng's face turned three points pale.

"Yang Yuanyi, I know what you're thinking about is "Falling into the Water", but..." After taking a few deep breaths, Chen Yusheng still couldn't control his emotions, "It's already a fact that it won't be filmed, don't be obsessed! Now "One Night Genius" is such a great opportunity in front of you, if you don't fight for it, you will lose more than one movie!"

"I've seen the original work, it's wonderful." Yang Yuanyi casually put the wine glass on the ledge, "But I have no idea."

"You have to have ideas."

He was so sure, Yang Yuanyi was a little annoyed in his doubts: "I didn't sign a contract of sale with Shuotian!"

After saying that, he didn't want to spend any more time talking with Chen Yusheng, he just felt that the alcohol was getting on his nerves, and talking too much might make both of them more excited, and finally broke up unhappy, heading towards the exit.

"Fang Fei may audition."

Yang Yuanyi stopped.

"Fang Fei got the casting outline for "One Night Genius" and is asking Tang Ao about the film's progress."

The root of the tongue is astringent and bitter, the wine that touches the lips evaporates, and the spicy taste rushes straight into the nasal cavity.

Yang Yuan thought his expression must be ugly now, doubt, shame and unexpected joy intertwined, he didn't know whether to thank Chen Yusheng for his efforts first, or confirm whether it was true.He didn't look at Chen Yusheng, but stared at the dark stain on the carpet under his feet, and suddenly realized that the wine had poured all over him at some point.

The clothes were all messed up, Yang Yuanyi regained his senses, and almost bit his tongue when he spoke: "I know... I got it."

"Are you going to pretend to be serious?" Chen Yusheng was very dissatisfied with his forced calm, and still decided to let Yang Yuanyi go, "Forget it, I'll leave the words here. More can't help you, yourself..."

"Understood." Yang Yuanyi said, this time it was much smoother, "Thank you."

Chen Yusheng declined to comment.

The resplendent light made him dizzy, and Yang Yuanyi didn't return to his residence until midnight.

He didn't quite remember what he and Jin Tao talked about again. During the dinner, many people from Huaying and other familiar faces were all colleagues, and everyone tacitly competed for opportunities.He used to look down on these things and feel ugly, and he was deeply involved in it today. The wine he drank made his stomach hurt, but he was not drunk at all.

Yang Yuanyi lay on the edge of the pool and vomited for a while, the bitter taste filled his mouth and throat.

Looking at myself in the mirror, the dark circles under the eyes and dull skin show fatigue. Where is the calmness of playing in the world with grace?Yang Yuanyi was stunned first, then slowly frowned.

This appearance is so unsightly that he can't see it himself, do you still expect Fang Fei to have a good impression of him again?

...have to cheer up.

"Fledgling" continued to be broadcast, and the frequency of weekly updates did not reduce the popularity in the slightest.The high-quality, gimmicky plot and intertwined emotional lines have made the audience unabated, and the amount of discussion has been slowly increasing.

In the sixth episode, there was a small climax, that is, Gu Yue, played by Fang Fei, failed to confess to the heroine Qin Xiaoxiao, and then blocked the drink for his boss Qiao Yanzi in the wine bureau flattering Party A. His youthful and reckless attitude made the unintentional The supervisor changed his mind about this stunned young man who always didn't know the importance of the situation, and he responded to Party A by helping him out of the siege, slapping the other party's face without any dirty words.

The unembarrassing and unembarrassing relationship between the two began to produce a chemical reaction. On that day, apart from the controversy caused by "workplace bullying" and "drinking table culture", Gu Yue's character was once again fond of mentioning popular terms.

"...Why is it male O and female A? That act of helping my sister block the wine was very sua! I was amazed by Fang Fei, I didn't expect him to be so real in playing the little pity! Go and see Gu Yue! Who doesn't like wet eyes puppies!"

Fang Fei: "...don't read it."

Tang Ao turned a deaf ear to it, and continued to open the next line with emotion: "Fei Fei is a kind of repair hook. I want one in my dreams. Who is so lucky to have it in the future! And this, Ah Fei is so cute when he looks at me. ..." She couldn't hold back, and laughed "puchi", "Forget it, I really can't say this sentence."

But Fang Fei already knew what it was about, and broke down in disgust: "Sister!"

"That's enough, that's enough." Tang Ao accepted it as soon as he saw it, "Isn't this just to make you calm down? Properly boost your confidence and be more confident, so that you can give full play to your performance in the audition later."

"Sister, if you mention it, Brother Fei will get nervous again." Xiao Ai turned her head from the co-pilot.

Fang Fei glared at her, but his tone was very light: "Just try it casually, anyway, I'm already mentally prepared... According to what you said, the competition is fierce, so it's strange that I can be selected."

"That's also..." Tang Ao thought of something, hesitated to speak, "Do your best!"

This day is the first audition for the protagonist of Huaying's project "One Night Genius".

The story is adapted from a short story. It tells the story of a young man who has achieved nothing by chance and writes a poem by chance, and then his life changes drastically.He experienced a dream-like bizarre plot, and finally realized that the so-called moment of genius came from a deliberate arrangement and collapsed.

After the film project was established, no staff was announced, only a few investors were known to play a pivotal role in the industry, and resumes flooded to the film studio like snowflakes.Almost all male actors of the right age in the industry participated in the resume screening, and the first audition alone took three days.

Fang Fei put it on the next day.

Knowing that no one was selected yesterday, Fang Fei's pressure really disappeared.

The audition location is located in the small conference hall of the Ritz-Carlton on the East Second Ring Road. Five people are divided into groups, which is more like a leaderless group interview in the workplace to speak freely.Fei, who had never seen several interview officials, walked into the scene just like everyone else in a daze.

Half an hour later, Fang Fei was the last to leave the room.

In the corridor, the others had already left first, and the empty narrow walls pressed against him.

Just asking him to go back and "wait for the result", Fang Fei took out his mobile phone and sent Tang Ao a message.His palms were sweaty, and now he realized that his shirt was half see through, his back was hot, and his hands and feet were a little soft.

He didn't even want to understand what happened to those so-called tests just now.

The door of the next room clicked open, Fang Fei was still in a state of mind, when he suddenly heard this sound echoing in the empty space, his whole body trembled, like a frightened rabbit suddenly looked up.

Then, the hot sweat turned cold in an instant.

A short distance away, in the slight dimness, those gray-blue pupils were like two groups of trembling fog.
