Director Loves No One

When the crew of "Thunder Gun" travels, the staff such as life production will be responsible for booking the hotel, and occasionally they will also prepare for the actors' birthday or finalization, which is one of the routine tasks. However, the crew only remembered Joe Zhans’ birthday on the lunar calendar, and no one would figure out the birthday on the lunar calendar, not to mention it was still overseas.

When Qiao Zhansi mentioned this matter when they met, Chu Xiaxing naturally asked the crew to see where the cake came from.

The Life Producer will report the news soon after inquiring.

Chu Xiaxing got a reply from the staff and curiously said: "Sent it from the cake shop near the hotel? Then do you know who ordered it? Joe Zhansi has no acquaintances abroad, and he feels strange now."

When Joe Zhans learned that the cake was not prepared by the crew, he was naturally confused and wondered who the gift-giver was.

Staff: "Director Chu, I'll find time to go to the cake shop to ask, check the booking record of the day, but I am not sure that there will be a result..."

Chu Xiaxing: "Well, if you can find the reservation record, send it to me directly, and I can also tell Qiao Zhansi."

Before long, the staff sent the cake reservation and payment list, and asked the clerk to help recall the situation at the time. It is said that two Asian men ordered the cake, and the order was left with the name of one of the gentlemen. Because they are all foreigners, the clerk remembers them clearly.

Chu Xiaxing was unfamiliar with the name on the order, so she sent it to Qiao Zhans, he was also confused, and he didn't know who it was.

Chu Xiaxing: "Could it be your friend? Or your family?"

Joe Zhans said blankly: "There really is no such thing as this..."

Chu Xiaxing originally wanted the staff to ask more questions, but Qiao Zhansi felt that it was a bit too troublesome for the crew, and he politely declined the kindness of the guide.

Neither of them came to a result, and the small episode was left behind.

Chu Xiaxing quickly returned to the right track of the project. Her most recent main job was to go to Yanchuan City to see the scenery and collect the scenery. At the same time, she followed Song Wenye to meet the local leadership team. Director Xu and others continued to modify the script, while Chu Xiaxing had to think about the scene of the crew, and the two sides are now acting separately.

In the cabin, Chu Xiaxing looked at the ticket in her hand and felt very emotional. She had to train and truck to reach Yanchuan, but now there is a direct plane to reach Yanchuan, and she naturally feels the difference of the times.

Song Wenye sensed her absent-mindedness and tentatively asked, "What is Director Chu thinking about?"

Chu Xiaxing collected the air ticket, she broke away from her previous thoughts, and said casually: "Mr Song is not from Yanchuan? Do you know the local snacks or scenic spots?"

Song Wenye pondered for a few seconds, and said helplessly, "Although I visited twice a while ago, I haven't been shopping, it's really hard to introduce you..."

"There is a lake in Yanchuan, and the night view is beautiful at night. It should be regarded as a scenic spot now."

Chu Xiaxing: "Are you explaining Zhuhu Lake?"

Song Wenye smiled and said: "Yes, but in fact it didn't have a name at the beginning. Mingzhu Lake was a new name after it was managed. It was not there when I first followed my parents. Because it was shining at night, my father just Call it the Pearl..."

Chu Xiaxing was listening attentively, but Song Wenye's voice stopped abruptly. He seemed to think about something, he smiled slightly, and then he paused for a few seconds before he continued: "...Director Chu can go and see when the time comes."

Chu Xiaxing observed the changes in his expression. How could he not know Song Wenye's thoughts. The management of Mingzhu Lake was one of Duan Hui's important achievements, and Yanchuan Film and Television City was built around the lake. Xiao Duan was pulling her crazy Amway in front of Mingzhu Lake. He never thought that things are different and many things have changed.

Chu Xiaxing explained, "You can mention him, it's no big deal."

Chu Xiaxing understood Song Wenye’s current contradiction. The father in his mind was split into two, half the tall and stalwart in the old memory, and half the true face revealed by existing evidence. These two completely different images tortured Hold him.

Song Wenye smiled bitterly: "I can accidentally mention it now, and I won't be able to land later."

Song Wenye still pretended to be calm in front of Duan Dong and others, but he was much more relaxed in front of Chu Xiaxing. Perhaps their behavior patterns were too similar, so that they knew clearly that pretending was useless for each other.

Chu Xiaxing: "You can look at it separately. He can be a controversial suspect or a good father. People are not black and white."

Chu Xiaxing recalled Duan Hui, who had shown off family photos to herself, and naturally understood the hardship in Song Wenye's heart after his father's image broke.

Song Wenye said unexpectedly: "It's not like what Director Chu said. I think you always admire rationality."

Chu Xiaxing has always acted in a rational manner, and now she persuades Song Wenye to split it up, it seems a bit like being dominated by emotions.

Chu Xiaxing: "If a person is completely unsentimental and loses the taste of being a human being, then it is a machine."

Song Wenye said frankly: "But I am afraid that once I get confused, I will overturn all judgments."

"If I act emotionally, I will feel that they are all fabricating facts. My father couldn't do that kind of thing. He put a lot of effort into this land, but the actual evidence is in front of me..."

Song Wenye is a person who seeks the truth based on evidence, but the evidence is now to the left of his emotions, which naturally makes life feel painful.

Chu Xiaxing resolutely said: "Then believe your feelings."

Song Wenye was taken aback: "But..."

"Have you not been drunk? You have been restraining your emotions and looking at external things rationally." Chu Xiaxing repeated it with a smile, "Isn't this the Dionysian theory you told me at the beginning?"

Song Wenye once mentioned the spirit of the **** of the sun and the **** of wine. He felt that Chu Xiaxing would always treat everything rationally, but he could make such a precise interpretation, so why couldn't he escape the same vicious circle?

"It's painful to live too rationally. It doesn't hurt to be confused about some things. Maybe you can get drunk for a while."

Chu Xiaxing always felt that she was a mortal, so she thought that Song Wenye was also qualified to be a mortal. Mortals can make mistakes, mortals can use emotions, and mortals don’t have to be perfect. Because she knows the troubles of living rationally, she understands that it doesn't hurt to be confused occasionally.

Song Wenye was stunned for a moment, he showed a trace of hesitation, and then whispered, "Is it really possible?"

Chu Xiaxing: "It's really possible. Didn't you say you want to learn film and television with me? Then you can learn it now. Sometimes being confused is a necessary skill for film and television professionals."

Song Wenye saw her carelessly, and he finally smiled relievedly: "Good director Chu, I have been taught."

Song Wenye resolved the happy knot. He was comfortable talking about Duan Hui again, and even shared a lot of childhood anecdotes, as if opening a chat box: "Actually, Yanchuan didn’t have many places to play at the time. My father’s work was relatively busy, but Give me a lot of pocket money. It seems that I can buy a lot of special cakes at the stall, but I can’t remember the taste..."

Chu Xiaxing felt that he had a childhood filter, she subconsciously retorted, "Don't mention pocket money..."

Chu Xiaxing: When I lied to you, I didn't have enough money to buy pastries, so I had to put some in it myself. What kind of money is this?

Song Wenye looked at her in surprise: "?"

Chu Xiaxing suddenly recovered, and she calmly explained: "It's okay, you go on to say, I'm just a little jealous that I haven't received pocket money."

Chu Xiaxing bit his head and listened to Song Wenye's description of snacks and scenic spots, thinking that this is not the place where the two of them had visited before, and the other party hadn't loaded new content for many years. She used to be wandering in Yanchuan City and had to run with herself for a short period of time. She thought Xiaodouding was very fun, so she went to many places together.

After Song Wenye finished speaking, he said helplessly: "I don't have many fond memories of Yanchuan, now I only remember these few places."

When Chu Xiaxing heard his explanation, he couldn't blame the other party for being the same. It would be good if he wanted to have good memories.

Yanchuan City, a small and remote city in the past, has spacious roads and lush roadsides. The beautiful scenery here is still there, but the officials received are long ago.

When Chu Xiaxing, Song Wenye and others arrived in Yanchuan City, they soon saw the current person in charge Tu Xin. He did not have the cheerful and talkative Duan Hui back then. He was more like a conservative and cautious ordinary person, guarding the lost pearl. lake.

Duan Hui originally came with state funds. He wanted to make drastic changes to Yanchuan, but Tu Xin was like a tomb guard, taking care of this city that was constantly losing vitality. After the collapse of Yanchuan Film and Television City, the local economy was unable to develop, and some folk customs forced the young people away, which made the city more and more lonely.

"Mr. Song, I didn't expect you to come here. To be honest, before I received the notice, I had been taking this as a joke..." Tu Xin was surprised when he heard that Yuansheng Group was willing to restart the film and television city. Of course he hoped that he would take up the post. Achievements were made during the period, but it was also clear that this incident had brought down several teams.

After Song Wenye shook hands and exchanged greetings with Tu Xin, he then introduced: "This is director Chu Xiaxin. She is the first to collect the scenery and set the scene on behalf of the crew. It is the movie "Star of Dawn" that I told you about."

Tu Xin looked at the young Chu Xiaxing, he was surprised: "Oh, oh, good director, the director looks very young!"

Song Wenye gave Chu Xiaxing gold without changing his face, and said: "Director Chu has won many heavyweight awards, and there was another work that won a good box office not long ago. I wonder if you have heard of it..."

Tu Xin originally hesitated about Chu Xiaxing's age, but he heard that "Thunder Gun Sage" came from her, and learned that Xu Xiancheng personally wrote the script, which made him full of confidence in the project.

Tu Xin: "If it is such a lineup, it is indeed very powerful. Song always needs us to cooperate, just speak up."

Duan Hui had state funding behind his back then, and he naturally had a great say in construction. Now that the restart of the film and television city is mainly funded by Yuansheng Group, Tu Xin also does some auxiliary work.

Song Wenye: "Do you know where to read the local folklore literature? Director Chu would like to learn a little bit, so he can prepare for other projects."

Tu Xin suggested: "Well, why don't you come to my office first. It just happens that there are some materials from the previous studios. I will let them all move over!"

In the office, someone successively moved in old materials and even piled them up high on the ground. Song Wenye and Tu Xin were dealing with chores next door, while Chu Xiaxing wandered around in the simple room, feeling the illusion of revisiting the old place.

Tu Xin actually used Duan Hui's office building back then, but the interior and exterior were repainted and decorated, but the layout is still the same.

Chu Xiaxing saw the paper bags piled up on the ground, she picked up one curiously, and hesitated: "It says Xie Song on it."

The person who carried the materials explained: "It turns out that it was not Xie Song who did this. Some of the old materials were left at the beginning and have not been touched..."

Chu Xiaxing glanced at a certain list: "Oh? He Lin still has signed his signature?"

Yanchuan Film and Television City was a key project of Xiesong Group at that time, and He Lin really needed to take care of many matters. This signature is quite chronological.

The person next to him snorted: "He Linfa is not a good thing either, and he claims that Yanchuan is his hometown. I think he colluded with the leader of Yanchuan, and finally left a mess. He broke too many places... …"

He Linfa was a well-known wealthy businessman decades ago. He especially claimed to promote the development of his hometown, so his reputation in the local area was very high. However, his current reputation is not as good as before. The projects he has participated in have frequently exploded. In addition, in recent years, he has been suspected of transferring assets overseas, so many people on the Internet are regarded as old thieves.

He Linfa retired in Yanchuan Film and Television City that year. It's not that no one had suspected him, but the evidence all pointed to Duan Hui, and the matter was not resolved.

Even so, He Linfa's reputation in Yanchuan was ruined. The young man who moved the materials looked young, but he was very angry at this wealthy fellow villager. He seemed to have a very poor evaluation of He Fushang.

Chu Xiaxing unpacked a bag and flipped through it. She found that the materials in it were worthless. They were all worksheets left over from that year. Now they are all waste paper. Tu Xin and others have long organized valuable information into archives, and Xiesong's file bag contains some useless contracts, notes, and occasionally the name and official seal of the approver.

Over the past few decades, these people don't know where they live, and they probably talk about it in their lives.

Chu Xiaxing put the worksheet aside boredly, and patiently picked out the folklore literature, planning to go back and let Han Chuning and other screenwriters review it to see if there is any material available.

At this time, her mobile phone suddenly rang, and it turned out to be a life producer: "Director, I need to ask about the cake. I can trouble foreign friends to continue to go..."

"Thank you, don't be busy. He doesn't know who ordered it. He has never heard of that name." Chu Xiaxing thanked her politely. She remembered the name on the order and said abruptly, "That should be the Chinese name, right? "

The cake order information is composed of English, and the translation of the name is not sure about the corresponding Chinese characters.

"It is estimated that the surname is not Chinese or Korean."

"How do you pronounce it after translation?"

After listening to the other party's translation, Chu Xiaxing felt familiar. She always felt that she had only come into contact with the name, but she clearly didn't feel that way when she communicated with Qiao Zhansi. After she hung up the phone, she walked around the house, looking at the waste paper lying aside, and then grabbed and searched. It didn't take long before she found the same name!

This name appears on various approval forms, exactly the same as the cake order. However, the approval form is written in Chinese, while the cake form is printed in English.

Song Wenye and Tu Xin returned to the office at this time. Chu Xiaxing immediately raised the list and asked, "Mayor Tu, do you know who signed the list?"

Tu Xin struggled to identify the outdated approval form, and he replied casually: "It is estimated that Xie Song did the implementation at the beginning, and it is similar to the current President Song, which is actually in charge of construction..."

He Linfa and Duan Dong are nominally supreme leaders, but they are actually different people who are pushing projects locally.

Chu Xiaxing: "Do you know where he is going now?"

Tu Xin: "Hey, how can I know this, they are all people from decades ago, whether they are alive or not is hanging."

Chu Xiaxing became more suspicious when she heard the words. She always felt that the same name was not a coincidence. The approval form and the cake form came from the same person.
