The Road to Rebirth of the Movie King

When they arrived at Zhang Jiuyi's house, Zhang's mother was serving dishes on the table. When she found her son brought the guests back, she put down the plate and went to greet her. Ye Changshi took the fruit from Xiao Liu's hand and passed it over, smiling, "It's rare to come to Auntie's house. , I just came back from the set, so I bought some fruit casually because I was afraid that I might not be able to make it in time for dinner, I'm so embarrassed!"

Because it wasn't something expensive, Zhang's mother took it without refusing, and said kindly, "They say I'm here at Auntie's house, what else should I bring, I think this fruit is pretty good."

Ye Changshi pulled the bodyguard behind him again: "This is Xiao Liu, he came with me, I have to trouble Auntie to take care of her today."

Zhang Yu glanced at Xiaoliu's figure and almost understood who it was. He smiled and greeted the two of them to enter the room, "It's usually just me and Xiaoyi. It's rare to be so lively. Come in quickly, it's just in time. Eat some fruit on the table to pad your stomach, and dinner will be ready soon!"

It's not the first time Ye Changshi has come here, he didn't feel restrained, he pulled Xiao Liu to sit down on the sofa, saw Zhang Jiuyi brought two cups of hot tea on the table, raised his eyebrows and teased: "Xiaoyi grows up Yes, I know how to make tea for the elders!"

Zhang Jiuyi suddenly had the urge to pick up the teacup and pour water on him.

Turning on the TV, it happened to be replaying the episode of "Superstar Group" recorded by Ye Changshi before, and he took a closer look at the end of the show, knowing that his embarrassment was over, Ye Changshi did not change the channel, and Zhang Jiuyi's mind was not on the TV. , otherwise he would definitely seize the opportunity to complain about how stupid his gay friend is. After the two sat down and chatted about the recent situation, the sound of spatulas colliding in the kitchen sounded, and Zhang Yu didn't know what kind of food he was cooking. The aroma of the sauce escaped from the half-closed door and filled the living room. Xiao Liu, who had been running around all afternoon and hadn't eaten anything, couldn't help swallowing when she smelled the smell.

Seeing Zhang Jiuyi's hesitant expression, Ye Changshi took a sip of tea and said empathetically, "I guess you invited me to your house not just for the New Year's Eve!"

Zhang Jiuyi's eyes under the lens widened slightly, and then he stopped hiding, and said in response, "I need your help with something."

Ye Changshi put the teacup on the table with an expression of "I know it", and said in a domineering tone: "We have known each other for several years, and now my brother and I have a small money, Xiaoyi can help if there is anything explain!"

Zhang Jiuyi glanced at the kitchen, then looked at Xiao Liu, who was staring at the TV and eating fruit, as if he felt that there was no need to avoid this person, so he said directly: "Actually, this matter is about my mother, I wonder if you have paid attention to it?" , my mother has aged relatively quickly in the past two years, and she has grown a lot of white hair recently."

Ye Changshi hadn't met Zhang Yu a few times. The last time he met was two years ago when he first came here. At that time, he was in a state of panic and didn't care about the looks of the people around him. Naturally, he wouldn't. Noticing any obvious changes in Zhang's mother in the past two years, Wen Yan thought she had some disease, frowned and asked, "What's wrong with Auntie?"

"I only found out about this recently. I found out that my mother was always frowning, and she often went out when she was not with the group. When she came back, she became even more depressed. She even had a few more gray hairs. I asked her several times. She also refused to tell me anything, until she made up her mind to take her to the hospital to see if something went wrong, and she explained the cause and effect to me."

Speaking of Zhang Jiuyi sighed: "Actually, it's not a big deal. My mother is a TV screenwriter, but she has been in this industry for so many years and has no reputation. She doesn't seem to be able to keep doing nothing, so she started to do nothing five years ago. She started to prepare a new script without telling everyone, and it was finally completed two years ago, but she wrote a movie script. You know, it is difficult for someone like my mother to find a way in the film industry, and she doesn't want to waste a few Nian painstakingly handed it over to the director who made a bad movie..."

Hearing this, Ye Changshi almost understood, and he nodded clearly.

Zhang Jiuyi continued: "It's not because you've been doing well recently. I took my dorm buddies to go to the "Return to Dream" that was just taken off the shelves a while ago. Many friends around me are discussing the actors who play Shaofu, so I just I think you can solve this problem if you say no... how about it, for the sake of brother, I donated to you a week's lunch expenses, can you consider whether you can help my mother?"

Since he brought it up, Ye Changshi would naturally help, not to mention that Zhang's mother introduced him to the circle, so this time he should repay his favor!Thinking of Ye Changshi's response, he agreed, but he still wanted to hurt Zhang Jiuyi: "The relationship between us is only worth your lunch for a week, so you have to book it anyway!"

"That's enough for you. Your movie's box office has exceeded [-] billion, and I'm still short of ordinary people's money!" Zhang Jiuyi pouted.

"No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat!"

"Skinning!"

Ye Changshi laughed twice, and it happened that Zhang's mother came to eat, so she didn't argue with him anymore, and pulled Xiao Liu, who couldn't stop eating once she started eating, to the dining table.

Zhang's mother didn't know that her son had told his friends about his bad things, but she warmly entertained the two juniors. The hot pot "gulu gulu" on the table was bubbling, and the meat and vegetables on the plate kept coming out of the pot, giving off a delicious aroma the taste of.

The Hua people felt that talking about things at the dinner table would enhance their relationship, so Ye Changshi took the initiative to bring this up soon after. He swallowed the meat in his mouth, took another sip of his drink, cleared his throat and said, "I heard about Auntie. If you don’t mind, can you show me the script, of course I don’t know many directors yet, if there is a suitable one, I will try my best to help.”

When Zhang Yu heard such blunt words, how could she not understand what happened? She glared at her son, who immediately lowered her head, and she could only sigh helplessly: "It's Chinese New Year, auntie didn't want to bother you at all. , I didn’t expect this kid to tell you about this.”

Ye Changshi smiled, and dipped the cooked beef in the hot pot with some sauce into her bowl with his chopsticks, and said in a clear and clear voice, "How can it be troublesome? If I didn't introduce you back then, I would have known you." Without Director Xu, naturally there will be no future encounters, and now you need my help, I am happy!"

Xiao Liu, who was eating with her head down next to her, rolled her eyes. It turned out that her boss was so cute and talkative in front of her elders, and she didn't know that rough man who was lazy, swears bad words in a hurry, and could beat people on the ground. who is it.

Zhang Yu didn't know that the bodyguards were slandering his employer, he only knew that the child was a gracious one, and he always remembered that he helped him casually for his son's sake, and he loved Ye Changshi even more in his heart. Quite a lot, and said with a smile: "Okay, it's not easy for a child of your age to be in this mixed circle, and I don't want you to owe any favors for your aunt. If you are interested, you can take the script later." Let’s take a look, help if you can, don’t force it if you can’t, Auntie can find a way by using electricity.”

I also know that the last sentence was said to comfort Ye Changshi. If she can really find a way to get a big director, she won't be bored at home after waiting for two years, but Ye Changshi won't say it absolutely. He promised to help, but only said he would do his best. After all, he didn't even read the script. If it was a literary movie or a comedy, he couldn't find a director he knew.

After dinner, Mother Zhang cleaned up the two rooms for the guests, and handed over the script that had been turned over a hundred times and the pages were fluffy and yellowed to Ye Changshi, and after a few casual instructions, she went to wash it. It's time for a bowl, Zhang Jiuyi wanted to help, but he got a phone call from a buddy on the way and rushed into the study to play games. Xiao Liu stayed peacefully in the living room watching the Spring Festival Gala, maybe hoping to appear lively, the sound effects of the TV were turned on louder, and the whole room They were filled with festive music. In order to have a clean place to read the script, Ye Changshi could only go into the room and lie down alone.

Put the pillow on the back, turn on the bedside lamp, and take out the script. The title on the cover is only two very simple words in bold—San Yu.

Hearing from Zhang’s mother that she wrote a story about same-sex love, Ye Changshi thought it was a bloody love story just by reading the title, but when he opened it, he was dumbfounded by the strong sci-fi style at the beginning—the protagonist’s What's with the name "Number 0377", a robot?

He hastily turned a few pages back, and then his face was blurred by the slightly familiar style of dynasty history painting in the dialogue between the characters in it.

A thought suddenly popped up in his mind: Could it be that Zhang Yu wrote about time travel?

Ye Changshi raised his eyebrows, he became interested in scripts that were different from the conventional ones, and began to read from the beginning...

Because it’s a movie script, it’s not too long. Ye Changshi spent three hours reading it. Of course, Zhang’s mother’s dense annotations and analysis aside, he didn’t study it in depth. As long as you can pick a suitable director for this movie in your mind based on the general style.

In fact, from Ye Changshi's point of view, Zhang's mother has been working as a screenwriter for TV dramas, and she may not be able to grasp the pace of the movie script that has compressed countless essences, but now that he has finished reading the script, he really leans on the bedside for a long time He was silent, and then looked carefully at Zhang's mother's analysis of the character's plot. It had been more than an hour after he came to his senses. At this time, the first question he thought of was not which director he knew for help. But whether I can participate in this movie.

This is a very good script. The sci-fi style at the beginning is purely to lay a suitable background for the story. The protagonist number 0377 is a space-time restorer. The whole script is generally about the protagonist traveling through time and space three times to complete history and A story of developing a relationship with someone from that era.

Perhaps it is due to Zhang Yu's many years of experience in writing TV dramas. The details of the plot, the emotional expression of the characters, and the role modeling are very delicate. There are not so many complicated truths or insinuations, just like what Zhang's mother introduced at the beginning Yes, this is a same-sex love story.

Ye Changshi let out a sigh of relief, with an actor's happy smile on his face after reading the script, he sent a few messages to Lan Diyuan to discuss Zhang's mother with him, and informed him that if the movie Start filming the idea that I also want to participate in it.

This "participant" is naturally one of the two protagonists, and Lan Diyuan has no objection to this. Anyway, Ye Changshi has always trusted Ye Changshi's vision when reading the script, but at the end he sent a message asking: Do you really want to Who did you introduce the script to?
