star shift

The price of these 5 minutes was that Pei Shan was so dazed by lack of oxygen and happiness for a long time that even Shi Pei couldn't stand it anymore.

The director who had been forced to be "Pei Shan's predecessor" for a long time was very angry, and several serial calls came to him, reminding him that there are still many things to be busy on the drama side.Pei Shan had no choice but to let go of his police officer and go out with them.

In order to be a little sincere in apologizing, Pei Shan decided to buy something and go to Shi Pei's rental house.

Over the past few years, Shi Pei's house has become smaller and smaller.It was difficult for private art groups, and Shi Pei was keen on all kinds of niche themes. Ever since he started an independent theater company, he was very hard-pressed.Pei Shan also knew this, and originally planned to rent a spacious house for him, but was rejected.

To get to Shi Pei’s rental house, one has to pass through a fish market that smells very fishy.Pei Shan tiptoed over the scales and sewage to the crowded residential area.A year ago, it was said that it would be renovated because it affected the appearance of the city, but because some citizens insisted on not moving away, they stayed here and continued to make noise to form a unique landscape for the replacement of old and new cities.

Shi Pei didn't care about these things, he could even open the window in the morning, smell the fishy dew, and said with a smile that the greenery and air quality in Yancheng were good, which was suitable for his creation.

Pei Shan knocked on the door on the third floor.

After the chug of slippers, the door opened.A tired but bright one appeared at the door.Shi Pei was wearing crisp and old clothes with marks of water-based pens on them.

"Stayed up late?" Pei Shan asked right away.

"Not boiled."

Pei Shan put down the milk and nuts in his hands, and looked back at Shi Pei with disbelief.

Then the other party changed his words and said: "I didn't sleep at all."

"Don't try too hard." Pei Shan didn't know what to say after thinking about it, so he could only sigh moderately.He knew what kind of temperament Shi Pei was, he was carefree on weekdays, but he took this performance very seriously.

To put it bluntly, this is the director's first compromise, the first big investment, but it can also be said to be the last time.No matter how high-minded a person is, can he experience failure again?In the past, the theme and packaging could be used as a shield for failure, but after going all out, there is no more fig leaf to speak of.

Of course the director is anxious, but he won't write these emotions on his face.He usually smiles, with a wide grin, showing his white teeth, like a handsome and silly boy who just entered the club.

"It's okay. Aren't you busy these two days? I need to watch more theaters."

"I'm sorry, I didn't have time to read the promotional materials you posted yesterday." Pei Shan heard the overtones and apologized quickly.

Shi Pei nodded at the table, "Ask yourself, why don't you have time to look?"

Pei Shan coughed and pretended not to hear.

"Because you're promiscuous during the day!" Shi Pei pretended to be heartbroken, "Yesterday I went to your house to talk to you about project changes, but you weren't there, and you weren't even seen in the bookstore! You didn't come until three o'clock in the afternoon the next day! Shanshan, Shanshan, you are hopeless."

"Director Shi, I need to talk to you about the changes. The theater also contacted me." Pei Shan asked, "I heard that you have changed all the props, replaced the background music with live performances, and planned to change the venue Change to the stage just put into use?"

Sure enough, as soon as Shi Pei heard this topic, he got excited and explained like a cannonball: "The proofing of the props is too rough, I asked them to redo it; the styles in the clothing warehouse are not in the right version, and new ones can be drawn, the audience There are a lot of knowledgeable people in it! Moreover, the script style this time is more epic, especially some battlefield scenes, which could not be done on the original stage."

But Shi Pei obviously didn't intend to let go of the earlier topic. After answering, he changed the subject: "Wait, you haven't told me, where were you last night?"

Pei Shan avoided it lightly, "But in this way, you need to bear double the cost, the remuneration of the symphony orchestra, liquidated damages for land lease and rent for the new venue, and we have to get familiar with the venue again, so the performance time must be postponed." A slight frown appeared between the brows, "Besides, you know how many people the main hall can accommodate. It would be fine if this show was held in a small theater, but if it's placed there... 60% attendance, can you guarantee it?"

"Hey, that's also a problem between the investor and me, don't worry about it." Shi Pei shook his head, seeming to avoid the topic, "I discussed with them, and they agreed with me to change it."

"They only care about whether the investment can return the capital, and they don't care about your income and expenditure." Pei Shan persuaded patiently, "Look, if the tickets sell well, they get a share; if the tickets don't sell well, you have to return part of it according to the contract. .In short, they won't lose money no matter what. But you are different-"

"Shanshan, I know what you said." Shi Pei interrupted him, turned on the computer with one hand, adjusted the brightness and saturation of the screen, and showed it to Pei Shan, "Leave these things aside and look at this, Let’s compare—do you remember our previous stage?”

Pei Shan didn't speak any more. Hearing a sound effect, he immediately focused on watching.

In the picture is a bungalow as the background, and the stage is divided into upper and lower spaces.Scholars and students on the stairs are bowing their backs and whispering to the blackboard. Downstairs are trenches and flying dust. The blue smoke is also made very realistic. A group of people in gray-blue military uniforms are crawling in the smoke. Holding his breath, he stared straight at the enemy in the distance.

As soon as the sound of reading stopped, the entire stage became very quiet, leaving only a light and weird background sound.

Then suddenly a piercing siren sounded, and the upstairs and downstairs followed the sound: the teachers rolled up books and blackboards, and protected the students to get behind the curtain; the soldiers were frozen by the gunshots, but the hero seemed to be pressed Press the fast-forward button, run towards the opposite side, and then drag back the body of his comrade-in-arms, lying on the ground panting.

The narrator said that it was already burning there, and that it was already hot.

As a result, the lights also turned red, and the place where the male protagonist fell on the ground began to rotate, sending him to the side of the screen, that yellow and green, simple place, but better than a peach garden.The camera turned from the blue sky to the seat, and where the subtitles should have appeared, it read "One inch of mountains and rivers, three feet of apricot altars".

The screen can be opened, and the moment the door is opened, the background is replaced with a photo of people looking at each other and smiling. On the left is the person on the battle table, and on the right is the fighter who is fighting.

"That's right! That's it!" Shi Pei pressed the pause here, and shouted excitedly, "What we were discussing at the beginning, the yellow smoke, the bungalow, and the transition must be smooth-isn't it all here? Talk through the air, The conflict is stronger—”

As he said that, he clicked on another video, "This is from before. Do I still have to choose?"

This video is the original stage that Pei Shan is familiar with. There is only one floor, and the transition is realized by pulling the curtain.The set is a few desks, and when the curtain is pulled, you can hear the friction of moving props inside.

Pei Shan looked at the screen and sighed.

Shi Pei thought he was still worried about the funds, so he patted his shoulder and said, "Why are you hesitating? At that time, as soon as the theater manager showed me the renderings, I immediately tried it. Really, it was just here Putting it into use, otherwise I would have already decided here! I think, this book has to be played like this. It’s not that the original one is bad, but that the things you want to express...need to be conveyed in another way, you know Do I mean?"

How could Pei Shan not understand.

In fact, when he heard the symphony, he already had goosebumps all over his body.The scene he experienced was restored to the stage in this way - still in such a magnificent, romantic and sincere way - how could it be possible to be unmoved.

He was just worried that the book he came up with in a flash of inspiration would drag Shi Pei down.After all, for a fledgling theater troupe short on funds, period dramas are really not a flattering subject matter.

"I agree with your opinion." Pei Shan frowned, "Since you have already decided, it is useless for me to object."

"Hey, you do understand me."

"Are you sure you want to perform in Yancheng for the first stop? As far as I know, there are not many audiences for the plays here, have you thought about it?"

"Using it as a model, of course the first stop must be here." Shi Pei smiled, "It's okay, if the result of the first stop is really bad, we can lower our psychological expectations. In this way, we will go to other cities to tour in the future. It’s a lot better to see the attendance rate!”

Pei Shan wanted to continue to sigh, but held back, and laughed along with Shi Pei.

He thought, no matter which century, these friends of his are really more able to toss than one.

"Okay, anyway, tell me if you have any difficulties. Although you don't have much savings, it can help you a little."

"Yo, you are so interesting." Shi Pei joked, "Aren't you afraid that a certain police officer will find out that you have hidden a small coffer?"

"Fuck you." Pei Shan smiled, thinking of the police officer, his heart seemed to beat faster again.

The person who was pulled back into love quickly sent a text message and asked Tang Liyan: [What are you doing?Do you want to have dinner together tonight? ]

When Tang Liyan received this message, he happened to send a person out of the police station, so he quickly replied: [Lawyer He is talking to me about the court session.I can't eat, and I'm on duty at night.We can sleep together. ]

[Pei Shan: Rogue! ]

The little hooligan laughed out loud, put the phone away, and then sorted out the materials.There are not many young police officers, and Ruan Mingzhi is on vacation again today, so Tang Liyan basically does all the chores.Tang Liyan was busy until after ten o'clock in the evening before taking off his police uniform.

Although there was no agreement, Tang Liyan went straight to Pei Shan's house.It's not that he thinks that Pei Shan will be embarrassed to go to his own house to wait, but that Uncle Wang and the others heard what happened last time, and Tang Liyan is afraid that Pei Shan will be criticized for no reason.

So at night, Tang Liyan knocked on the door of Pei Shan's house very sensiblely, and of course, he saw Pei Shan coming up with a smile.

"What are you doing?" Tang Liyan pushed the door all the way, and keenly discovered that the layout of the room must have been moved, and many places had traces of being moved after a long time, "What's the matter, you know I'm coming, and you have to do a big cleaning ?”

"I haven't been home for a few days, and I'm a little dusty."

Although the type of this house is similar to Tang Liyan's house, but because it is a single house, it is far away from the neighbors.

Tang Liyan didn't treat himself as an outsider, so he found a place to sit down when he came in, and saw a stack of books on the desk, which should have been written for a long time, leaving many imprints of words.Tang Liyan's curiosity arose, and he leaned closer to recognize each character, but the strokes were too complicated to tell what it was.

"What to drink?" Pei Shan stepped forward and waved his hand in front of his eyes.

"Water is enough." Tang Liyan withdrew his gaze.

His hand accidentally touched the drawer, and he pulled it out habitually, but found that he couldn't move, "Why is the drawer locked? What is it hiding, and you still can't see it?"

"I'm saving money. I'm afraid that thieves will come in." Pei Shan pushed him back so that he could sit down.

This movement was so natural that Tang Liyan also consciously opened his arms and sat on his lap with Pei Shan in his arms. He didn't care about drawing drawers, so he casually said, "Don't put valuables by the window sill. If the thief really wants to come in through the window, it's useless to lock it. Doesn't this have common sense?"

"Got it." Pei Shan stroked his thorny head, and leaned forward to kiss the corner of his mouth after speaking.

Tang Liyan put him on the table without any scruples and kissed him deeply.
