recession

Tao Liyang wandered outside for more than an hour that day before returning to the hotel. Xu Yunqing was no longer in the room, and the lights next door were also turned off. He didn't know if he was asleep or went out too.

He just felt physically and mentally exhausted, and those words kept ringing in his ears over and over again in his dreams.As a result, when he opened the door in the morning, he saw Xu Yunqing coming out from the next door.

What he said last night was a little bit drunk, although it was true, it was a bit awkward to say goodbye after sober.

Tao Liyang stood by the door for a while, not knowing what to say, Xu Yunqing fell silent when he saw him like this, just closed the door quietly, and walked past him.

This seems to be a bad start, they can still maintain a tacit understanding to greet and laugh in front of people, so as not to let others see the difference.Once no one noticed, they all became mute and stopped talking to each other.

Tao Liyang himself couldn't explain what was going on, was it a cold war?Neither should nor should it.It seemed more like he had missed the opportunity, and he couldn't find the opportunity to speak the first sentence again.

He told Xu Yunqing and himself that day, it's over, that's all.At that moment, he just wanted to end his unrequited love, not to completely draw a line with Xu Yunqing and become a stranger.Unexpectedly, the more the disturbance became more chaotic, it became such a dilemma.Sometimes Tao Liyang would persuade himself that it was good to be like this, and he had nothing to say at first, but he still couldn't help feeling annoyed by it.

Finally, after waking up again in the middle of the night and tossing and turning, Tao Liyang thought he should leave here first.Maybe everything will be fine if we don't see each other.

As soon as the idea of ​​leaving came up, it was out of control. Although Tao Liyang was not sure that this would be a good idea that would work, it seemed that there was no other way at the moment.He looked at his watch with the light coming in from the balcony. It was five o'clock in the morning, and he squinted for a while. After nine o'clock, he hesitated, and then called Wang An.

Wang An's wife gave birth to a boy last month, and Tao Liyang sent a pair of gold bracelets to the child.Assuming that his wife is due to give birth, it is estimated that Wang An will not be so busy, so he can hand over the job of resident screenwriter to him.

He had made up his mind, but before he could say a few words of pleasantries just now, Wang An first complained to him about his sufferings, saying that his wife had some postpartum depression and the child was very fussy. After inviting two aunts, they couldn't find peace. After a long talk, I remembered to ask him: "Hey, just listen to me, what's the matter with you calling?"

When he said this, Tao Liyang still had the nerve to speak, took a glass of water and swayed to the balcony to breathe: "It's nothing, I just thought it's been a long time since I haven't contacted you, you just had a child again, let me care about your feelings as a father. "

"How can I feel, every day. Seeing the child smile at you, I think it's worth it. When I cry this time, I really want to worry about others." After Wang An finished speaking, he paused and asked him, "Are you all right? It’s not that there’s something wrong with the script, if you tell me.”

"It's not about the script..." Tao Liyang gave a wry smile silently, "It's okay, I know what's in my heart, brother, you can do your work, and say hello to sister-in-law for me."

Tao Liyang sat down with his eyebrows held together, and touched a cigarette from the glass table.I don't know whether it was the strong wind in the morning or the smoke was damp outside, but it didn't light up for a long time.He didn't bother to go into the house to get it again, so he stared at the bare tree trunks in the distance with an unlit cigarette in his mouth, thinking that Wang An couldn't throw it away here, who else could come to pick up this stall...just want If it was someone else, he still had to inform the crew. He planned to find a suitable opportunity to communicate with Du Futing, but unexpectedly, Du Futing approached him first.

"What's the matter?" Tao Liyang pushed open the door of the lounge, where Du Futing was watching some videos taken two days ago.

"Come, come, Liyang, sit down." He beckoned, "That's right, Wang An called me at noon and said that you were looking for him in the morning. It didn't sound right, and asked if it was a script. Is there any problem. I wanted to say no, but your senior brother is very worried, and you also know that he attaches great importance to this script, so I still ask you to ask in person."

In fact, Du Futing didn't take it too seriously. While talking, his eyes were still fixed on the screen. After a while, he didn't hear Tao Liyang's answer, so he raised his head in confusion.

"Director Du." Tao Liyang rubbed the bridge of his nose: "I was also looking for you. I probably can't do it as a resident screenwriter."

Du Futing's eyes widened in surprise, and it took him a long time to remember to press pause, and turned to face him: "What's wrong? Are you kidding me...or is there something wrong at home?"

Tao Liyang knew that he was thinking about it, "No, nothing happened."

"Then what's going on?" Du Futing thought for a while and said, "Is it because you have been under too much pressure recently? I know that this drama has more to grind than expected..."

"No. It's because of my personal reasons that I don't really want to do it. Now I want to ask you if there is anyone who is willing to cooperate. I will try my best to contact..."

"No!" Du Futing waved his hand when he heard the words, and interrupted him neatly, "What do you mean you don't want to do it? This is not the first time we have cooperated. You are not a person who comes out of your own mind. You and Zhou Yecheng Have you said it, and he agrees? Besides, it’s hard to explain to the investor.”

"It's Zhou Yecheng's place. I'll go to him later. The liquidated damages will be calculated. I will also pay for the screenwriter. As for the investor, I can negotiate." The biggest investor in this movie is Yao Xing, although Tang Ran is not directly responsible for the project, but if Tao Liyang talks to him, there will always be no problem.

"I know your family has a big business, so it's not short of these few dollars. But is it a matter of money?" Du Futing frowned, "If you really have any problems, you can talk about it, and everyone can think of a way, but then you said No problem. Now the film is being filmed every day, and the script is being polished all the time. If you say you can throw it away, it’s not good.”

"The filming progress of our play is considered stable now. There are actually not so many things to change in the future. I can wait for the new screenwriter to come and leave..." Tao Liyang said, knowing that these excuses are untenable I had no choice but to say one more sentence: "I'm really sorry."

"I know I'm sorry you have to go." Seeing that he couldn't make sense, Du Futing simply stood up, walked around the room twice with his hands beating his palms, and stopped in front of him, "In this way, if you can invite your old man Come sit down, and I will let you go."

This was purely out of anger, Tao Liyang shook his head helplessly: "Don't be joking, if my dad knows, he will beat me."

"You're kidding me...in."

There was a knock on the door, and Tao Liyang stood at the door for his unspoken personal reasons.

"Busy?" Seeing his expression, Xu Yunqing didn't know that Tao Liyang was here, he was slightly taken aback, and quickly looked away as if nothing had happened, "Then I'll come back later."

"It's okay, Yun Qing, you come in." Du Futing originally asked Xu Yunqing to come over to talk about the upcoming scene, but Tao Liyang came and delayed the time, so they bumped into each other.He was angry and was worried that no one would criticize Tao Liyang's irresponsible behavior. Regardless of Xu Yunqing's evasion, he hurriedly pulled him in, "Why are you going? You just came to hear what this is called. Our screenwriter is thinking about it." How do you get rid of it?"

As soon as Xu Yunqing came in, Tao Liyang felt that the atmosphere in the whole room became unnatural.Xu Yunqing was probably a little restless, but when he heard Du Futing said that he was leaving, he couldn't help turning his head and giving him a quick glance.

The words have come to this point, even if the sky falls halfway - although the current situation is similar to Tao Liyang, he can only insist on sitting here and finishing dealing with Du Futing.

"I know this is my problem." Tao Liyang adjusted his sitting posture, trying to avoid staring at Xu Yunqing, "So I came to you to discuss how to reduce the impact, so as not to delay our show."

"No matter how good your attitude of admitting your mistakes is, it's useless. If you don't come here, it won't matter if you don't leave." After a truce, Du Futing calmed down a little, "I'm not unreasonable, but at least you have to show Convince me with a legitimate reason. Just give me some personal reason, how personal it is, you are so difficult to speak... ah"

He slapped his forehead as if waking up from a dream: "I see."

Tao Liyang looked at it and felt that what he knew would not be a good thing. Sure enough, the next second he heard Du Futing say: "Is it because of Wei Xiao? I wanted to remind you earlier, don't flirt with each other casually. If you can't get rid of it now, you want to run away." , you can't..."

Tao Liyang scratched his hair, looked up at the ceiling, and for a moment really understood what it means for a dumb person to eat coptis.

"Director Du." Xu Yunqing spoke, with no emotion in his voice, "Don't guess, it's not impossible to find someone to take over..."

"What's the matter with you, I still expect you to tell me about him, where are you going?" Du Futing waved his hand, and said to Tao Liyang: "If it's really because of Wei Xiao, don't worry, I don't remember how many times he It's a scene, I asked the coordinator to make adjustments, and arrange for him to wrap up and leave next week at the latest."

"Really not." Du Futing was so focused on the movie, Tao Liyang knew that he couldn't explain it, so he argued weakly.

"Anyway, you can't come up with a reason to convince me that you can't leave. I still have several scenes to change." Du Futing glanced at the new message on his phone: "I won't tell you anymore, Zhou Yecheng tomorrow Come here, if you don't give up, go to him again and get rejected, but even if he is crazy and agrees to you, I won't agree here. The filming will be over in just two months, it's a big deal for me to hold back. There is something wrong with Group B, so I'll go there first. Yun Qing, I'll talk to you later when I come over."

Probably the matter was really urgent, Du Futing grabbed his coat and left, with a gust of wind when he closed the door.From Xu Yunqing's side to Tao Liyang's place, he seemed to smell a very light fragrance of trees.

How strange, Tao Liyang thought, they clearly used the same brand of bath... He was distracted for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he suddenly realized that there were only him and Xu Yunqing in this room now.

Tao Liyang got up quickly and walked to the door, Xu Yunqing suddenly opened his mouth and said sorry without thinking.

They haven't talked in private for a while, and Tao Liyang never thought about letting Xu Yunqing know about it before leaving, but he immediately said like a conditioned reflex: "It's my own fault, I don't do your business, don't be sorry .”

Xu Yunqing didn't speak, and Tao Liyang also knew that he would deceive ghosts and ghosts, so he slowed down and said, "It's really not your fault." It's not Xu Yunqing's fault that Xu Yunqing doesn't love him and can't accept his feelings.

"I lost my composure that day, but I just feel that everyone is embarrassed like this now." Tao Liyang remembered that Xu Yunqing had helped persuade the director to let him go, and smiled wryly: "I'll go for a while, you don't need to see me, and don't bother me."

"Don't think like that." Xu Yunqing's voice sounded a little tired.

Is not it?Tao Liyang smiled mockingly in his heart, looked down at the doorknob, but couldn't press it for a long time.After a while, I heard Xu Yunqing ask him softly: "Are we still friends?"

Tao Liyang wanted to say of course, but also felt that it should be up to you, but after a few thoughts turned around, he opened his mouth and said, "Is this very important to you?"

Xu Yunqing probably didn't expect him to say such a sentence, subconsciously wanted to speak, but thought of something, and swallowed it back abruptly.He didn't answer in the end, just pursed his lips and turned his head to look at the ruined winter scenery outside the window, and didn't say a word until Tao Liyang left.
