Li Nian's script has a literary-sounding name called "In the Name of Love".Just looking at the name and the age of the screenwriter, probably everyone will preconceive that this is a romantic love story, and at most add some new words to express sorrow and sorrow.

However, Chen Mo had seen this book with his own eyes.After reading the content of the script and then recalling "In the Name of Love", the meaning contained in it is hard to describe...

The story is about a gay couple——Shen Xi, a doctor of pharmacy and psychology, and his boyfriend Du Ming, who have been together for seven years, have a relationship crisis in the eighth year of being together.

Shen Xi and Du Ming met when they were in college.Shen Xi is an orphan. His parents died in a car accident when he was seven years old. Shen Xi grew up in relatives' homes.The ups and downs and living under the fence made Shen Xi's character more gloomy and restrained than his peers.However, Shen Xi's mind is very smart, and he won a double doctorate in pharmacy and psychology when he was less than 30 years old.He even published several professional papers on medicine-assisted psychological counseling one after another, which was appreciated by his supervisor and entered the research institute.Deal with test tube drug data reports on a daily basis.Personality is getting more and more dull, more and more reluctant to contact with people.In the end, in Shen Xi's life, apart from test tube medicines and laboratory reports, only his lover Du Ming remained.

Shen Xi met Du Ming at the freshman welcome party.Du Ming is tall, handsome, sunny and handsome, with a gentle and straightforward personality. He can sing, dance and play basketball. He has a good family background, so he is very popular with his classmates.

At the freshman welcome party, Du Ming was invited by the senior sisters of the student union to sing a dynamic English song on stage. With his crisp and cool dance, he looked radiant on the stage.

Probably because people or things in the dark yearn for the light instinctively, Shen Xi fell in love with Du Ming at first sight because of this scene.

Afterwards, Shen Xi tried his best to get close to Du Ming, and his rivals in love included all the boys and girls who admired Du Ming in and out of school.However, with Shen Xi's shrewd mind and the ability to walk ten steps at a time, he finally defeated everyone and "embrace the beauty".

The Ming Dynasty had already passed the law of same-sex marriage, and the society's acceptance of homosexuality was not low.However, there are still some people who are conservative in their thinking and cannot accept same-sex marriage, cannot accept their son living with another man, and may never have their own children to support them in retirement.

So after Shen Xi managed to catch up with Du Ming, their relationship was opposed by Du Ming's family.Such a resolutely repulsive attitude also planted hidden dangers in the relationship between the two of them—in the eighth year of Shen Xi's relationship with Du Ming, Du Ming finally couldn't stand his mother's lobbying on the hospital bed, and agreed to break up with Shen Xi and get in touch with each other. Find a good blind date at home, marry a wife and have children.

Shen Xi couldn't believe that Du Ming, who had been with him for eight years, would make such a choice.He tried every means to keep his lover.However, the reason why Du Ming agreed to his family's request was not only because of his seriously ill mother, but also because of the mental burnout from the seven-year itch. He felt that the life with Shen Xi was no longer fresh.So I want to end this relationship.

Du Ming firmly rejected Shen Xi's offer, packed his things and prepared to leave.

Seeing that his only relative and lover were about to walk out of his life, Shen Xi, in a state of madness, did one thing - he knocked out Du Ming who was packing his luggage, and tied him into the underground laboratory.

Shen Xi is currently researching a project that uses medicine and psychological counseling to assist patients in the treatment of mental illness.However, this project has another development direction, which is to use medicine and related hypnotic methods to artificially erase a part of the patient's memory, or even erase the patient's main personality to give birth to a second personality.

Shen Xi never thought that his experimental subject would actually become his lover.But Du Ming's resolute attitude forced him to do so.He wants to keep his lover by his side forever, instead of watching his lover walk out of his life little by little.

Shen Xi's experiment was successful.After waking up again, Du Ming really forgot about the breakup.The relationship between him and Shen Xi seemed to be back to normal.The two had a few days of peace.However, Du Ming's family did not forget this incident.Du's mother, who was lying in the hospital, couldn't get any news for a long time, so she had to send someone to find Du Ming.

Du Ming saw his mother on the hospital bed, and thought of breaking up again.

Shen Xi, who had become paranoid, once again administered drug hypnosis to Du Ming.This time not only erased Du Ming's memory of wanting to break up, but even hinted to Du Ming that his relationship with his family was not harmonious during hypnosis.

The experiment was once again successful.However, frequent drug hypnosis in a short period of time also left a hidden danger to Du Ming's spirit.The experience of memory being constantly erased and tampered with caused Du Ming to dream frequently while sleeping.What I dreamed were all the horror scenes of Shen Xi chasing and killing him.

Subconscious rejection and mistrust made Du Ming's attitude towards Shen Xi more and more complicated.He began to be afraid of Shen Xi, and thought of breaking up again.

On the other hand, Du Ming's change of attitude also made the Du family feel that something was wrong.They instinctively felt that Shen Xi was playing tricks in the middle.The Du family found Shen Xi's house again, and this time, they took Du Ming away with a strong attitude.What made Shen Xi sad was that even after being hypnotized, Du Ming finally chose to leave with his family.

Shen Xi, who had already started to go crazy, knocked Du Ming out again on his way home from get off work and robbed Du Ming, and performed drug hypnosis on Du Ming to tamper with his memory for the third time.

Shen Xi believed that the reason why Du Ming chose to break up was in the final analysis because of the lobbying and instigation of the Du family.So this time hypnotized Shen Xi not only erased Du Ming's memory of wanting to break up, but even the memory of Du Ming's family.Then he drove away from the city with Du Ming, who was still in a coma.

Du Ming woke up again and lost the memory of his family. Under Shen Xi's hypnosis, Du Ming woke up thinking that he was an orphan. He and Shen Xi depended on each other since childhood. They married directly after graduating from university, and their relationship was very stable.This self-guided driving tour is also to commemorate the honeymoon vacation that the two spent the seven-year itch.

The perfect lie made Shen Xi spend another seemingly romantic and happy time.Just when Shen Xi felt that everything was back on track, the sequelae of Du Ming's repeated hypnosis appeared——

His main personality gradually disappeared, and his second personality slowly awakened.And because of Shen Xi's hypnotizing the original owner many times, the second personality has become violent and very repulsive to Shen Xi.

Shen Xi was shocked to find that even Du Ming, who was dominated by the second personality, had chosen the path of breaking up.

Panicked, Shen Xi hypnotized Du Ming again.He killed Du Ming's second personality and gave birth to Du Ming's third personality.This time, he portrayed Du Ming's third personality as docile and loving.

It's a pity that Shen Xi's efforts have no effect at all, Du Ming, who has been obliterated many times, has subconsciously feared Shen Xi.So no matter how many times Shen Xi hypnotizes, the newly formed Du Ming sub-personality will still dream at night that he is killed by Shen Xi with various means.Du Ming began to run away from Shen Xi's side continuously under the dominance of the sub-personality.

At the same time, after discovering that their son and Shen Xi were missing, the Du family also called the police on the grounds of kidnapping.After investigation, the police quickly found the whereabouts of Du Ming and Shen Xi.

Shen Xi, who realized that he could not bring Du Ming back no matter what he did, also made a final decision at this time.He took out the last potion and wiped out all of Du Ming's personality.He felt that only in this way, Du Ming would completely give up the idea of ​​leaving him and stay by his side obediently.

Because idiots don't resist...

And at the end of the script, Du Ming, who has become an idiot, obediently lay in Shen Xi's arms and fell asleep.Outside the door, roaring police cars surrounded the hotel.

After reading the script again, Chen Mo said to Li Nian: "I think this book is pretty good. But the way of expression is too straightforward. And there are many professional flaws in it, so I need to consult the opinions of relevant people as a reference .”

For example, Shen Xi's method of hypnotizing Du Ming in the script to constantly obliterate the other's personality, although it sounds ridiculous.But it's the filmmaker's job to justify a silly story.

Li Nian nodded humbly asking for advice, and thought he was insignificant: "I just opened up a brain hole and wrote it out. In fact, I don't understand many professional things. If Brother Chen is willing to be our producer , we will accept any changes you want."

Chen Mo smiled slightly, and then Li Nian continued: "How do you think the rhythm of my book should be changed?"

Chen Mo pondered for a while, and said, "The whole script of your script is told from Shen Xi's point of view. I think it's possible to change the point of view. Let's look at it from Du Ming's point of view. He thinks he was born as an orphan." , there is a lover who has been with him day and night for eight years. The life of the two is perfect and stable, and there is nothing wrong with it. But one day, Du Ming kept dreaming that he was killed by Shen Xi, and the two people appeared in his mind from time to time. In the scene of quarreling and about to break up, images of strangers claiming to be parents and family members slowly appeared in his mind. Du Ming promised that he had no impression of these people, but somehow he always felt that these people were familiar. And lovers Du Ming's eccentricity also aroused Du Ming's suspicion. So he began to investigate secretly, and finally found that he was constantly hypnotized by Shen Xi to obliterate his personality... If you look at it from this angle, will there be more suspense and conflict?"

Chen Mo just casually talked about his feelings.However, in the ears of Zhang Zongming and Li Nian, there was a kind of effect of waking up the dreamer with one word.

Li Nian subconsciously straightened his back, stared at Chen Mo with sparkling eyes, and said with a dancing voice, "Hey, this will make the atmosphere even more terrifying, right? If it's released at that time, it will definitely scare that stupid grandson!"

Chen Moxin said, girl, how much do you like horror plots?By the way, I'm also thankful for this girl's ex-boyfriend - thanks to the fact that this girl is a choreographer, at most she has a little more brains.If this person really studies psychology and pharmacy... cough cough!

Zhang Zongming glanced at his screenwriter with a smile, and asked, "Then, Xiao Mo, you promised to invest in us?"

Chen Mo asked back: "How much budget do you think this film will need?"

Zhang Zongming probably had a draft for a long time. Hearing what Chen Mo said, he immediately said, "This is my senior graduation work. You know, Xiaomo, that we students who haven't graduated from university have no connections, no fame, and no I can't get any sponsorship. So when I chose such a book, I thought that the investment of this film must not be large. Of course, this investment is definitely not for big money like you... Generally speaking, plus In the last and late stages, 500 million is enough."

Chen Mo blinked his eyes thoughtfully, and asked again: "Small cost, or this kind of mild horror and low-cost film with split personality and paranoid color. If you want to make it well, it will not only test the director's directing ability, but will also be very difficult." A test of the actor's acting skills."

Zhang Zongming's heart moved, and he asked with a sense of elegance after hearing Xiange: "What's the matter? A little happy to see Lie Xin?"

Chen Mo didn't hesitate, nodded and said, "But you've decided on the leading actor, right?"

"Don't worry about my grass-roots team!" Zhang Zongming waved his hands and said with a smile: "Don't say I haven't had time to decide on the leading actor, even if they do decide, they are not stupid. As a filmmaker, you have brought another heavyweight actor to play with you. Even if you let them play tricks, as long as you give them two more shots, they will be willing."

In fact, when Zhang Zongming had just finalized his graduation work, he actually found a classmate from the acting department to play the leading role.Because at that time, I didn't think about going through Chen Mo's back door - old classmates have self-respect.You can't ask for help as soon as you have something. If you do it too often, you won't be able to be your friend.Besides, Zhang Zongming was also a little arrogant, even if he was going for his old classmates in his heart, he still wanted to gain some fame before defecting.

Unexpectedly, this circle is more realistic than he thought.Those advertisers and investors had a good attitude when he was helping to shoot commercials. When they heard that he wanted to direct a movie before he graduated, he still wanted to shoot such a messy horror, romantic and romantic movie, and they all retreated. .Those who did not give up also doubted his ability, and some people fell in love with his book and wanted to just buy the book and not give him the opportunity to direct, Zhang Zongming and Li Nian also rejected it.

After procrastinating for a few months, the male lead actor who was originally scheduled didn't have the patience to wait any longer, and ran away with other crews when the school organized auditions.Before leaving, he gave Zhang Zongming a bad meal, saying that it was too selfish for him to want to become a fat man all at once. "If you hadn't stopped Li Nian from selling the script, we'd all be filming it now!"

Zhang Zongming was so angry that he almost vomited blood.It was Li Nian and the other students who couldn't see it, and choked, "If the script is really going to be bought, it's not Zong Ming'er's turn to make it, but it's also not our turn to act."

"The script is mine. If I want to sell it, I will sell it. If I don't want to sell it, I won't sell it! It has something to do with you two cents, and it's still in my old lady's hands?"

Probably because Li Nian's combat prowess exploded, the two male protagonists who were originally scheduled had to retreat.However, as soon as these two people tossed about, the grass-roots team that had been set up immediately lost their hearts.Zhang Zongming saw that his graduation work almost turned into a cold daylily, so he made up his mind to call Chen Mo.But there's no need to say such embarrassing things in front of Chen Mo.

Chen Mo, who was feeling a little anxious, understood instantly.

Zhang Zongming suddenly asked again: "By the way, is your studio still signing newcomers?"

Chen Mo, who was thinking about it, said casually: "Why don't you sign it? We also provide newcomers with five social insurances and one housing fund to provide opportunities for further study. The benefits are great."

Zhang Zongming: "..."

Li Nian: "..."

He glanced at Chen Mo speechlessly, and Zhang Zongming asked coyly, "Then do you sign the director?"

Chen Mo suddenly realized, looked at Zhang Zongming and said with a smile: "Sign it. Even if you don't sign someone else, you must sign it!"

Seeing that Chen Mo's expression didn't force him to let go, Zhang Zongming also secretly heaved a sigh of relief.Turning around, I was in the mood to gnaw, and said with a smile: "Tch, do future directors like me need to go through the back door? After you have waited for a few years, these domestic film and television companies must be begging me to make a film!"

Chen Mo was also happy to spend a few words with Zhang Zongming, and Li Nian who was sitting on the side asked timidly, "Then do you still want to be a screenwriter in your studio?"

After a pause, he added: "The kind that pays five social insurances and one housing fund."

Chen Mo was immediately happy when he heard the words.He thought about it, and felt that there are not many screenwriters like Li Nian who can write such a perverted script because of a broken relationship.It might be a treasure to stay and practice for a few years.Immediately said: "Okay, tomorrow you and Zong Ming'er will come to my studio together."

Zhang Zongming blurted out and asked, "Then the investment is settled like this?"

"Absolutely no problem." Chen Mo replied.

Zhang Zongming asked again: "The other male lead, who are you going to find?"

Chen Mo thought for a while, and then showed a bright smile to Zhang Zongming.

"If you're like this, let's not be in a hurry to decide on the role. We want to finish the script before we talk about it."

Zhang Zongming blinked his eyes, always feeling that this kid Chen Mo is going to hold back his big move!

One month later!

When Chen Yuxiu received a call from Chen Mo, he and Lu Xiaonong were on a secret vacation in the Maldives.Chen Mo's phone number suddenly popped up on the phone, which shocked Chen Yuxiu.He quickly sat up and answered the phone: "It's not a festival, why did you remember to call me?"

Chen Mo giggled and said, "Brother Xiu is the one who knows me. Brother Xiu is busy with work, so I'm bothering you, of course I have something to do!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Chen Yuxiu to ask, he said straight to the point: "I have a notebook here, I wonder if Brother Yuxiu is interested in you?"

"Oh?" Chen Yuxiu raised his eyebrows with interest, and said casually, "Chen Mo, the book you like is not bad, right?"

Chen Mo said: "I sent the script to your mailbox. You can read it if you have time, just reply me tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, he chatted with Chen Yuxiu about the crew that had not yet been formed.

Chen Yuxiu burst out laughing, put down the phone and turned around to meet Lu Xiaonong's scrutinizing gaze.

"Chen Mo asked you to film?" Lu Xiaonong was also quite curious.

"It is said that the script has been sent to my mailbox, let me reply to him tomorrow." Chen Yuxiu said, and simply dragged Lu Xiaonong back to the hotel room.The two sat side by side at the desk and read the script sent by Chen Mo.

After half an hour—

Lu Xiaonong had a strange expression on his face, even his eyes were full of shock and he sighed: "Where did this Chen Mo dig out this script? Such a pervert, he must have written it himself, right? "

"Even if you ask him to write, he can't write it, right? I heard from Xiaomo that it was written by a girl who didn't graduate from college after falling out of love." Chen Yuxiu responded casually, rubbed his chin and said thoughtfully: "But this Both characters are quite interesting."

"That's right! A pervert and a schizophrenic are the favorite ways of the academic school. If you shoot well, you might win a prize!" Lu Xiao gave Chen Yuxiu a white look, and said with a grin: "Maybe it's not a good shot." It's mentally ill."

After finishing speaking, Lu Xiaonong got up and went to the wine cabinet to pour wine while laughing: "I don't know what this little girl is thinking now. A broken love will scare the whole world."

Chen Yuxiu didn't speak up, still staring at the script on the computer.

Lu Xiaonong handed the crystal goblet filled with wine to Chen Yuxiu, and asked, "Who is the director?"

Chen Yuxiu said: "A high school classmate of Chen Mo's, who studied at the Huaying Film and Television Department in college, it is said that this is his graduation work. Because he couldn't find an investor, he took the book and asked Chen Mo to be the producer, investor and lead actor."

Lu Xiaonong raised the corners of his mouth disapprovingly, "A new director? This is a little bit confusing."

At least in her impression, no new director won an award for directing a film. "You said that Chen Mo is also a big-hearted kid! He found a book to please the academics to act on his own, but he found a rookie director to direct it. If he didn't make it, he might even lose his own reputation."

Chen Yuxiu frowned imperceptibly.

Lu Xiaonong advised from the side: "Why don't you call Chen Mo and ask him what he means? I think Director Lu is quite suitable for this kind of film. If he doesn't know Director Lu, we can draw a thread from him." -"

"Do you think Chen Mo is that kind of person?" Chen Yuxiu interrupted Lu Xiaonong lightly.

Lu Xiaonong was taken aback when he heard the words, then smiled and said, "That's right. If he really did that, he wouldn't be Chen Mo anymore."

After a pause, Lu Xiaonong asked again: "Then do you still pick it up?"

Chen Yuxiu thought for a while, but said nothing.

On the other hand, as Zhang Zongming and Li Nian both signed contracts with Chen Mo's studio, Zhang Zongming embraced Chen Mo's thigh and got investment to make a movie. Even the news that Chen Mo had taken a fancy to the script and wanted to act in it himself was also reported by Huaying University. Inside spread like wildfire.

The filming of the crew had just finished, and the two acting juniors who had returned to school had not had time to brag to their classmates how big a star they had met in the crew. They were taken by the director, and they were shocked by the rumor.When they came back to their senses, the two found Zhang Zongming's classroom at the same time, Xing Shi asked, "Zong Ming'er, didn't you agree to let us play the leading role? Now that you hug your thighs, you turn your face and deny anyone. Don’t you have brotherly loyalty?”

Zhang Zongming, who was busy telling everyone a story, sneered at the words, and said directly, "Hey, the big star is back!"
