The next morning, after Tang Tang woke up, he found that he had slept on Lu Yuxing's sofa all night.

He rubbed his dry eyes, got up reluctantly, and stretched.At first they thought they would be hugged back to bed to sleep together, but Lu Yuxing didn't expect him to feel sorry for him at all, covering him with a thin blanket was considered as fulfilling his duty.

There are sandwiches and milk on the table, and a note underneath:

Go to class after eating.I'm very busy today, don't come looking for me, Lu.

As if it came from Lu Yuxing's mouth, it was as serious as himself.

Tang Tang held the note and looked at it, his eyes crooked with a smile.In the end, I leaned over and took a sip, and jumped off the sofa to wash up.

At the same time, Lu Yuxing was already sitting at his desk.

The reporters and editors of the entertainment section were divided into many groups. The leader of their group was a man in his 30s, with a gentle appearance and an orderly manner.

A lot of preparatory work is required before character interviews, from the interviewee's background identity, family and marriage relationship, growth experience, to the subject of the interview, and specific interview questions, all need to be sorted out and communicated with the interviewer again.Lu Yu was late in the team and only participated in the final part of the finishing work.I heard from Bai Wan and other colleagues that the team leader has always been in charge of contacting Chen Guzhou's studio assistant.

The interview time was set in the afternoon, in a high-end coffee shop not far from the newspaper office.

It was still early, the bustling port city outside the window was full of traffic, and the whole city was gradually waking up.

Lu Yuxing made a bag of coffee without haste.He doesn't like instant coffee, but it's different now, and he's forced himself to take it.

The taste of sweet and bitter bad coffee is easier to accept than he imagined, and it reminded him of the days when he first entered the film industry, filming overnight in the suburbs, and talking about words.

The first movie that Lu Yuxing participated in was directed by Chen Guzhou.

To some extent, Chen Guzhou was the guide who brought him into the industry.Although Lu Yuxing is very talented in acting, he has never received systematic professional training, and his network is not as wide as those students in the acting department.

Chen Guzhou is a good friend of Professor Li Yaoqiang from the Performance Department of the University of Hong Kong.Li Yaoqiang attaches great importance to Lu Yuxing. In his senior year, Chen Guzhou's new movie was openly cast, and he recommended Lu Yuxing to audition.Chen Guzhou caught his eye and asked him to play the male lead.

The theme of the movie is a popular murder movie. The hero is investigating a serial murder case, and the second male lead played by Lu Yuxing is a survivor at the scene of the first murder - a boy in the third year of high school.

——The rich aroma of coffee brought his thoughts back.Lu Yuxing put down his cup and sighed inwardly.

Although he was 22 years old at that time, it was not difficult, and even very appropriate, to play a slightly gloomy but youthful high school boy with his excellent acting skills in his school uniform.But once again, this time he is incapable of doing it.A mature, even old soul hides under the skin, which is far from the feeling of a high school student.

"Hello, Mr. Lu Yuxing." Bai Wan, who was sitting at the right desk, nudged him with an elbow, glanced suspiciously, and looked at the unopened interviewee's file on his desk. "Aren't you ready?"

Lu Yuxing glanced at her calmly, and continued to drink the low-quality coffee with a strong aroma.

"I remember it all, don't look at it."

"Why don't you watch it?" Bai Wan was a little anxious, "The team leader is very optimistic about you, and you will be the first to interview in the afternoon, so you can directly meet Director Chen face to face!"

Chen Guzhou's smiling and wrinkled face flashed in Lu Yuxing's mind, thinking what happened when we met each other, I even had supper with Chen Dao and his old man.

"I remember it all, really." He pressed the space between his brows, leaned back in the chair and took a breath. "Chen Guzhou, 50 years old this year, was considered a contributor to New Wave films before, but now he has switched to commercial films and has done well. But if this continues in the future, if he doesn't break through his own bottleneck, he will be eliminated sooner or later."

Bai Wan was so shocked that she almost wanted to cover his mouth, "You can't say this in front of Director Chen! Our newspaper office is making a new movie for him this time."

"New movie?" Lu Yuxing paused thoughtfully, his brows furrowed slightly.

Counting the days, Chen Guzhou is indeed planning the murder movie.In the first half of the year, he tried to return to his previous style and made a set of literary films.Although the box office is not bad, but excluding the cost and investor profits, it is still not enough.

"Yes, anyway, don't make things difficult for him." Bai Wan opened the folder on his desk and handed it to him respectfully. "You better prepare well, or you will be scolded by Zhu Yuji again."

He couldn't hold back Bai Wan, so he could only pick up the interview materials and read them.

In the afternoon, before the group set off for the coffee shop, Zhu Hu came looking for someone with a big belly.

"The person in charge of the interview in the afternoon." He squinted his eyes and nodded at Lu Yuxing, "Who is that Lu, come here."

Lu Yuxing didn't look at him directly, he got up and followed into the office with a cold face.

"Are you in charge of the interview in the afternoon?" Zhu Hu looked at him again with scrutiny, his small eyes rolling around, "Hmph, Xiao Zhou gave you such an important task as an intern, wouldn't it be to let Mr. Wan Did you open the back door?"

"It's what you think it is."

Lu Yuxing still had a cold face, raised his eyelids to look at him, and replied the motto of Lu Daxing once.

His eyes were a little frightening, Zhu Hu hesitated, pursed his thick lips, and went back to the office chair to sit down.

"Xiao Lu," he changed his tone of earnestness, crossed his legs, and said like a junior, "this person interviewed, although the content of the interview was discussed with the interviewee's assistant in advance, but this interview, There have to be some variables to be interesting."

Lu Yuxing stood where he was and moved his shoulders a little.

"I don't understand you," he said.

"I mean, you have to ask some questions that everyone cares more about." Zhu Hu persuasively said, "For example, Chen Guzhou's marriage and love..." There were several layers of fat on his chin, and he wrinkled more with his smile. "Look, for an old man in his fifties who is not married, there will always be some reason..."

"This is not in our interview outline." Lu Yuxing interrupted him impatiently, with an unconcealable disgust in his tone. "You have also read the outline. It may not be appropriate to talk about it now."

"The outline is the outline!" Zhu Hu raised his voice, playing both soft and hard ways.He patted the information on the table, then stood up abruptly, pointed at the table with one hand, and shouted: "People are alive, but outlines are dead! Readers nowadays only care about celebrity scandals and scandals, and there are no gimmicks. Who would read this?" What kind of nonsense interview! Chen Guzhou is not an actor with fans all over the street, who would care about his movie ideas?"

Lu Yuxing waited silently for him to finish his anger without saying a word.After waiting for a while, he bowed slightly to express his apology, and strode out.

"Brat! Stop!" Zhu Hu yelled behind him, his face flushed red with anger.

After half an hour.

The piano music with a soothing rhythm was playing in the coffee shop, and the wind chimes at the door rang slightly. Bai Wan and Lu Yuxing walked in one after the other.

Lu Yuxing looked up at the booth on the second floor, and recognized Chen Guzhou sitting in front of the window at a glance.

The wrinkles on that face in memory gradually faded, and the 50-year-old Chen Guzhou was still in high spirits.Sitting next to him was an assistant who seemed to have just arrived.

"Yes...it's Director Chen." Bai Wan was a little nervous, and then retracted her steps, "You said... Team Leader Zhou entrusted us with such an important task..."

Lu Yuxing did not show any timidity, he went upstairs calmly and walked in front of Chen Guzhou.

"Hello, Director Chen," he held out his hand, "We are reporters from Hong Kong City Daily."

Chen Guzhou was chatting with his assistant, upon hearing this, he looked up at Lu Yuxing.He was stunned for a moment, then stood up with a smile, and shook hands with Lu Yuxing.Bai Wan stood behind Lu Yuxing, holding the notebook in her hand, and bowed slightly to him.

Everyone sat down facing each other, Chen Guzhou's assistant got up and left, and went downstairs.

"Are you a new reporter?"

After taking his seat, Chen Guzhou suddenly asked a question.

Lu Yuxing smiled politely, "Yes, I'm a new intern, and I'm a senior student at Hong Kong City University."

"Oh..." Chen Guzhou replied thoughtfully, and raised his hand to stroke the stubble on his chin.

Lu Yuxing saw his actions, so he hurriedly said, "Can we start now?"

Chen Guzhou nodded, motioning for him to start.

The process of this character interview is clear. First, he will talk about his response to the films he directed and released in the first half of the year. By the way, he will introduce his views on the future development of commercial films. Finally, he will promote a wave of new films he is planning recently.

Lu Yuxing's question was natural, and he could even give some feedback to Chen Guzhou's answer.As if an old friend I haven't seen for many years, the communication efficiency is very high.Bai Wan was taking notes at the side, and she couldn't help but praise in her heart.

Chen Guzhou is worthy of being a great director with profound skills. The film concepts he throws out are very forward-looking.

Finally, Chen Guzhou gave the expected answer when asked about the topic and casting of the new movie.

"This time I want to open the casting in Hong Kong," he said with a slight smile on his face. "In addition to the leading male lead and the villain who have already been selected, there is another important role in the play. I haven't found a suitable one yet." candidates."

"Is it the surviving student in the play?" Lu Yuxing asked at the right time.

Chen Guzhou laughed a few times, "Yes." He crossed his hands and shook hands, half-jokingly said: "You are a student of Hong Kong City University, you have to help me promote it well, so that students from the acting department can try it."

Lu Yuxing nodded solemnly, but he was thinking about how to stay away from Director Chen's new work.
