There's a gust of wind coming from the south

The person called Liangzi put down the phone, glanced back at Shen Shi who was still standing at the door, waved to him and said hello: "Oh, buddy, just sit down as you like, just be your own home!"

"Liangzi, Xiaoou, Dumb, this is the Shen Shi from Ancheng I told you about, Boss Shen." Gu Dao stepped forward quickly, and threw the cards from the three of them aside. "It's too rude of you to do that."

The three of them seemed to be very polite to Gu Dao, and they were not annoyed when they were disturbed playing cards. Instead, they turned their heads in unison and nodded to Shen Shi and shouted: "Brother Shi!"

Shen Shi thought it was a little funny, those who knew they knew that they were engaged in art, but those who didn't know thought they had entered another den of hooligans.

"I'm hungry, I'll play in the afternoon." Liangzi stretched her waist, randomly selected a family from the pile of leaflets under the coffee table, and raised her chin at Shen Shi, "Is the noodles with fried sauce ready?"

"to make."

Liangzi nodded, and dialed a series of numbers according to the phone number on the flyer: "Hey, the old place, five bowls of fried noodles. Please hurry up, I'm going to starve to death, thank you!"

On the side, Xiaoou with glasses and a big man called dumb took advantage of Liangzi's phone call, casually threw the sundries on the table to the ground, and then waved to Shen Shi: "Brother, come and sit down."

"Brother Shi, don't mind. They don't look like four or six, but they are actually good people." Gu Dao pulled Shen Shi into the room and sat down, then went into the kitchen to make tea for Shen Shi.

When the fried noodles came, the four people except Gu Dao were staring at each other. They all felt that they should say something, but they didn't know where to start, and the atmosphere fell into embarrassment for a while. .

In the end, it was Ryoko who found the topic first: "Dude, are you watching a movie?"

Shen Shi nodded: "Yes."

Liangzi patted Xiaoou on the shoulder next to him: "Go, just play a movie."

Xiaoou pushed the thick glasses frame: "What are you looking at?"

Liang Zi: "Whatever, find someone to eat."

"That's it." Xiaoou got up and turned on the TV, then began to search for movies, "Takeshi Kitano?"

"Which one is Takeshi Kitano?"

""Huahuo"."

Liangzi waved her hand and patted Xiaoou on the head: "Will you watch "Huahuo" for dinner?!"

Xiaoou chuckled: "I didn't fucking say "The Mermaid in the Sewer" would be good."

Gu Dao held a cup of tea and put it in front of Shen Shi, then turned to Xiaoou and said, "How about a Hong Kong movie, "The House of Gold and Jade"?"

Xiaoou snapped his fingers: "Yes, enough for dinner."

"Liangzi, what's wrong with the advertisement you shot?" Gu Dao took out a pack of cigarettes from Liangzi's pocket, took one for himself, and handed another to Shen Shi, "I heard the tone of the client is going to blow up? "

Ryoko waved her hand disdainfully, as if she was used to it all: "Let him blow it up. Damn, I delayed the payment in the early stage and let us advance the money to shoot. Now the material is lying in the computer, and we need to hurry up and produce the finished film. Fuck! You go It's still under pressure, I can't give you a piece!"

Gu Dao wrinkled his nose: "But what I just heard from them is that they have already got the samples?"

"Hey, that's what Ryoko did with waste materials, just to disgust them." The dumb man took the cigarette from his ear and put it in his mouth, laughing twice.

Ryoko looked at the wall clock on the wall, then turned her gaze to the TV, and said while watching, "Just wait, it will be there soon."

"What? The fried noodles are here?" Xiaoou groaned in his stomach.

"Blow up your uncle! Money." Liangzi took off the Xingyue Bodhi from his neck and put it in his hands, "Don't worry, they can't afford it."

Sure enough, not long after Liangzi finished speaking, along with Zhajiangmian's doorbell, he also received a new message on his mobile phone—the boss sent money, please check it.Give me a piece now!

Liangzi blew a whistle: "Brothers don't eat anymore, let's work!"

Following Liangzi's order, Xiaoou and Mute stood up "suddenly", one walked quickly to turn on the computer, and the other took the cutscene notebook to look through.

Liangzi sat down in front of the computer, and said to Shen Shi and Gu Dao without looking back: "I'm sorry buddies, you guys eat first." After that, it was as if she had suddenly cut herself off from the outside world. , completely immersed in front of the computer, settled down.

……

If you say that when you first came here, Shen Shi still felt that he went to the wrong place.Then, when he actually saw a commercial film taking shape step by step in the hands of this person named Ryoko, he completely changed his view.

Sure enough, people cannot be likened to their appearance.

"Liangzi said that he wouldn't throw a hawk if he didn't see a rabbit. In fact, he made preparations in the early stage. He told us in private that he would shoot all the scenes that should be shot even if he paid for it." Gu Dao looked at the screen in front of the computer. Liangzi turned her head and said to Shen Shi, "In order to achieve the effect he wanted, Liangzi paid all his labor expenses to do art. He even hopes to have a good work come out more than I do."

While staring at the computer screen with great interest, Shen Shi listened to Gu Dao chanting beside him: "Oh, the set you saw is called nonlinear editing, and all the post-editing work can be done on the computer. But when it comes to film , must use film..."

This time, Liangzi was accepting an advertisement for cosmetics. According to the client's requirements, as long as the product name was big enough, bright enough and eye-catching.But Ryoko still chose to do it with a different feeling from the current general advertisements. By telling a woman's life to convey beauty is a theme worth pursuing at any time.

He uses different colors to reflect different stages of life, and uses extremely intentional expressions to accurately show people's moods in different periods.It can be said that through this advertisement, Shen Shi has seen that although the creator looks sleek and sophisticated, in fact, the flame of artistic pursuit deep in his heart has never really been extinguished.

"When they are busy, let's go out to eat together at night." Shen Shi stared at the back of Liangzi's head and said softly, "I invite you."

……

By the time Liangzi and the others finished their work, it was already midnight.The restaurants that should have opened and should not have closed.Shen Shi had no choice but to go downstairs and bring back a lot of skewers of beer from the barbecue stall opposite.

Liangzi and the others are worrying about lack of money recently, so life is inevitably a bit more difficult.Seeing a table full of meat right now, he was not polite, thanked Shen Shi and began to feast on it.

"Brother Shi, A Dao told us when he came back that he met a nobleman in Ancheng and wanted to support him in writing a movie script." Liangzi raised a beer can at Shen Shi and smiled, "Really?"

Shen Shi clinked glasses with Liang Zi, and looked at him: "If it's fake, why should I come here?"

"Hmm... Ajima said you are the big boss, you own two big restaurants and a collection?"

"It's true!" Gu Dao nodded affirmatively.

Liangzi winked at Gu Dao, motioned him to stop talking, and then asked: "Since you are not short of money, if you want to invest in making movies, you can go to those more famous screenwriters. People like us A Dao who don't have much work Gunner, do you dare to believe it?"

"Damn it, Liangzi, I didn't recruit you!" Gu Dao retorted loudly, "Do you think I'm willing to be a shooter?!"

"I read the story written by Gu Dao, and I believe him." Shen Shi smiled lightly: "What about you, do you believe me?"

"I believe it!" Gu Dao nodded vigorously.

Shen Shi continued to look at Liangzi, and said in a deep voice, "Also, I don't just want to support Gu Dao in writing a movie, I also plan to find someone to make this movie."

"Yes, yes! That's why I brought Shen Shi to meet you." Gu Dao pushed Liangzi, and whispered, "Didn't I tell you all of this before?"

"A Dao, eat yours!" Xiaoou held a skewer in his hand and stuffed it into Gu Dao's mouth, occupying his mouth.

Liangzi looked at Shen Shi, and then asked: "Then when do you plan to pay A Dao? To be honest, you may not like to hear it. Our business is a mixed bag, and there are many people who have nothing to say. How do I know you are Not bragging?"

Shen Shi smiled: "Just wait until the bank goes to work tomorrow morning."

"You don't need to know brother!" Gu Dao didn't know what Liangzi was doing, he swallowed hard, patted the table and stood up, "I wanted to write this movie first, even if you If you don’t give me money, I will still write!”

"Success." Liangzi opened another bottle of beer and raised an eyebrow at Shen Shi, "I heard that, the payment will be made tomorrow morning."

"No problem." Shen Shi nodded, "It's a verbal agreement first, and then the contract will be signed later."

"I said buddy, is that how you trust A Dao? You have only known each other for a short time." The mute seldom spoke, so he couldn't help asking curiously at this moment.

Shen Shi lit a cigarette and smoked it slowly: "To tell you the truth, the story that Gu Dao will write next is partly based on my personal experience. Some people in the story have already left, and I have always wanted to tell them something. , but there is no more chance. So, I want to use this movie to pay tribute to them." Shen Shi exhaled a puff of smoke and said in a deep voice, "This is my original intention and selfish intention."

The four present were all quiet when they heard the words, Shen Shi paused, and continued: "I know that you are in this business, and now no matter what you hear is good or bad, it will all become lies when you come here ... To be honest, after seeing the commercials you shot, I have the intention to cooperate with you all. But since it is a cooperation, you have to say what you like and I want to, and trust each other." Having said this, Shen Shi suppressed his smile, " If you believe me, I will give you a chance to realize your ambitions. If you don’t believe me, let me invite you to drink a lot of wine and make friends today.”

"We don't have any works. Although we studied movies at the beginning, we haven't even made a decent movie yet." Liangzi showed a self-deprecating smile on her face, and snorted, "Why do you believe us like this?" ?”

Hearing Liangzi's words, Xiaoou and Mute present seemed to have been stabbed in the sore spot. One drank heavily in a muffled voice, while the other lowered his head with gritted teeth.

"I don't understand art, so I have no way to interpret the commercial you shot from a professional perspective." Shen Shi dusted off the cigarette and looked directly into Liangzi's eyes, "But as an audience, I can feel that you want to convey to my stuff."

"A friend of mine once told me that an artist must have three qualities 'spirituality, understanding, and tenacity', and his stylized shots are different from other advertisements, and successfully made me feel what you think What is expressed is a kind of spirituality. Finding a deeper concept from a simple product is understanding..." Shen Shi put out his cigarette butt, and smiled, "Obviously I have lived such a miserable life, but I have never I have thought about changing careers, this is resilience. This is why I am willing to believe in you.”

"Damn it." Xiaoou took off his glasses and rubbed the corner of his clothes vigorously on the lenses, "It's been a long time since anyone said that the things we shoot are 'works'."

"Brother, no matter what you say, thank you." The mute pursed his lips, raised the wine bottle at Shen Shi, raised his head and drank the rest of the wine, "Thank you so much."

After that, the few people didn't communicate any more. They all drank and ate meat in a tacit muffled voice, thinking about different things in their hearts.

"Okay, it's getting late today. Leave me an account, and I'll arrange for someone to send Gu Dao's deposit early tomorrow morning." Shen Shi raised his wrist to look at his watch, ready to leave.

"Don't rush to go." Liang Zi got up and turned on the TV, then turned to Shen Shi and said, "Let you watch some things my brothers were filming and playing with before."

……

Early the next morning, a sum of money was transferred to Gu Dao's account.In addition to the deposit, there was an extra three months' rent.

Shen Shi bought a ticket back to Ancheng that afternoon, and he had to rush back to go through the company registration procedures and related qualifications.

Watching a whole night of movies with Liangzi and the others last night, this also made Shen Shi more sure of the talent of this group of people.However, in the end, Ryoko still couldn't say whether she wanted to take the film.

Shen Shi thought to himself that there must be a matter of fate in this matter, and he couldn't force it, so he didn't say any more.But Gu Dao was on the sidelines worrying the whole time, and after Shen Shi left, he dragged Liang Zi and the others to make a lot of sense.

"Han Liang! You should trust Shen Shi this time!" Gu Dao held the account information in front of Liang Zi, and asked loudly, "I really don't understand you, why don't you cherish such a good opportunity?!"

"Hey, I've been around for so long, Brother Shi is by far the happiest Party A to give money." Xiaoou sighed with his mouth half-opened.

The mute patted Xiaoou's head: "What is Party A? He hasn't signed the contract yet." After he finished speaking, he also looked at Liangzi who was sitting silently beside him, "But Brother Liang, I also feel that Shen Shi seems to want to Play for real."

"Yeah, I promised to give A Dao money today, and I really gave it. How can there be such a liar?" Xiaoou continued, "Unless...he is a high-level liar?"

"You can shut up!" Gu Dao turned around and cursed, "Anyway, anyway, I put my words here today! You don't believe Brother Shi, I believe it! You don't cherish the great opportunity, I cherish it! Anyway, Beijing is so Big, it's not difficult to find a new team...!"

Gu Dao glared at Liang Zi, and said word by word: "Yes, this circle is indeed dark and smelly, and it's all fucking lies. But you shouldn't believe that the truth exists, and you don't believe in tomorrow!"

Gu Dao was about to rush out as he said that, but was dragged back by Liang Zi.

At this time, Ryoko's hair was disheveled, and she still had big bags under her eyes.After a long while, I only heard him say something in a low voice: "It's not that I don't believe in Shen Shi... I just don't believe in myself."

"Liangzi." Gu Dao looked at Liangzi with light in his eyes, "Actually Brother Shi saw this a long time ago, and he asked me to tell you before he left." Gu Dao straightened his body and said, "Believe in you The partner in front of you, also ask about you in the eyes of the partner."

Ryoko: "..."

"Brother Liang." Xiaoou swallowed, "I believe in you, you will definitely be able to shoot well."

"I believe it too." The mute said.

Gu Dao put his arm on Liangzi's shoulder, and said sincerely, "There's me."

Liang Zi silently looked at the three people in front of her, then took a deep breath, pushed Gu Dao away and ran towards the door.

"Liangzi, where are you going?!" Gu Dao shouted.

"Go to the station, block Shen Shi!"

The remaining three looked at each other: "Let's go!"
