Bright Spring

In the prelude to the music, the host chanted in an emotional voice with sadness: "In the capital city that never sleeps, there is a young woman who misses the past. It seems that an old friend is coming in the rain. Please listen to the rain on Yuhuatai."

"Last year's laughter, this year's sorrow, only the light rain is still there. Walking in this city that never sleeps in the rain, where will I go. I was born like a rootless duckweed, please stay away from sadness, abandon fantasy, and pretend to have never come to Yuhuatai"

The graceful style of songs is sung unhurriedly, with some poetic and picturesque nostalgia, but also a bit of moaning without illness.But the tone is really nice and sad.

Gao Xu noticed that Xiao Deng lowered his head and seemed a little sad, so he asked, "What's the matter?"

Her voice was slightly choked: "It's okay, it's just that this song is a bit sad."

Gao Xu said: "I picked a song randomly, mainly because I think it sounds good."

He turned off the radio, picked up a booklet and said, "Here is the setting and narrative process of the whole story, take a look, and let me briefly explain it first."

Xiao Deng straightened up, let out a breath, took the booklet, and looked at Gao Xu with a forced smile.

Gao Xu began to tell the content of the story.It is basically based on the dream-seeking in the memory, but in order to cater to the familiarity of the audience, the Mexican Day of the Dead was changed to the Yin People's Day of the Dead.

People have souls after death, and they will enter a wonderful underworld.When no one in the world remembers him anymore, the soul will "absolutely die", turning into a falling flower petal and blowing away with the wind.

MiG, a 12-year-old boy from a shoemaker's family, had a music dream since he was a child, but music was forbidden by his family, who thought they were cursed by music.When Miguel secretly pursued his music dream, he accidentally entered the underworld, where he met the souls of his family members.

The story is about family love, reunion, dreams, music, adventure, good and evil, right and wrong.There are also comical elements, and a happy ending where goodness and sincerity triumph over hypocrisy and evil.

Little Deng gradually became fascinated.Seeing her expression, Gao Xu immediately had a little more confidence in this work.

I don't know how long it took, but the story is finally over.Xiao Deng hadn't recovered yet, his eyes were red.

Gao Xu was silent for a while, letting her settle down a bit.She spoke first, "It's been a long time since I've heard such a wild story."

"The focus is not on setting." Gao Xu smiled.He felt that the emotional misunderstanding between the father and the son, and finally unraveling the knot, seemed a bit old-fashioned; but Xiao Deng was right, it was still an excellent story.

He said: "In terms of the plot, the audience should be misled in the front, and the unexpected effect can be produced in the latter part. Don't give hints too early. Ike, the soul tramp, was a bit of a ruffian, a funny rascal, and an unpopular funny image at first. In this way, it is not easy for the audience to see his selfless and kind side, and it can also produce the effect of laughing with tears."

While recording, Xiao Deng nodded in agreement.

Gao Xu said again: "Emotional fullness is the most important thing. Try to make the relationship sincere and warm. If you want to succeed, you must earn people's tears. What kind of emotion can move people? I think it is a true and reasonable emotion. When making a plot, you have to do it with your heart. The story is fake, but the feelings must be true."

After the two communicated for a while, Xiao Deng began to figure out the whole story in detail.Gao Xu also stayed here, continuing to think about the subtle perception of recalling the details.

This bubble tea shop is a bit nondescript, but what a great place to do things.There are few customers who are not disturbed, and even food and drink can be settled on the spot.

After only one day, Xiao Deng no longer doubted that Gao Xu was seriously working on the animation project.Moreover, she is very dedicated and enthusiastic in her work, even if she leaves work after dark, she still has no complaints.This is one of the reasons why Gao Xu likes to hire young people.

The two left early and returned late respectively, and fought continuously for more than ten days.

They met at eight o'clock every morning, and they worked on the second floor until dark. Gao Xu was responsible for checking the content, making requests, and adding some details.The rest was written by Xiao Deng alone.Lunch and dinner are settled at the milk tea shop. The food is not very good, but the calories are enough to meet the consumption of work.At the end of the day, Gao Xu sent Xiao Deng back to school first, and then went home.Life suddenly became extremely regular.

Gao Xu had been preparing for a long time and had complete content, but he was very demanding and strived for perfection, so it took more than ten days to produce a beautiful and complete script.

A thick stack of scripts with very detailed descriptions was closed.Xiao Deng put his hand on the cover, let out a long breath, and showed a satisfied and happy smile on his face.The reluctance and embarrassment in her smile before finally no longer appeared this time.

Gao Xu stretched out his hand and said, "Thank you, Xiao Deng."

Xiao Deng was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his hand to gently hold Gao Xu's hand, his expression slightly unnatural, "Mr. Liu is being polite, I should do it. The best thing is creation, I can't help much."

"Young people are quite modest." Gao Xu sat down, thought for a while, and said, "I've been tired recently, start tomorrow, you can rest. According to what we agreed, the salary will be paid until the release. I won’t forget Xiao Deng’s bonus.”

Xiao Deng smiled and said, "It will definitely be a great success."

Gao Xu asked casually: "Really?"

"En!" Xiao Deng nodded, "I haven't seen such a good script for many years. Mr. Liu should be more confident."

Gao Xu smiled wryly: "The risk I have to take is not limited to this."

Xiao Deng said softly: "That's right, it's not like me, just get a salary."

Gao Xu looked thoughtful and was silent for a while.He finally came back to his senses, looked at Xiao Deng and smiled, and then began to tidy up the items on the table.

He tidied up his purse, stood up and said, "Then let's go."

The two went downstairs and got on the little silver horse.Xiao Deng was no longer as cautious as he was at first, and got into the passenger seat naturally.Gao Xu was also familiar with the road to the Academy of Drama, so he drove straight along the road.

A low-end model of a luxury brand, the interior of the car is still quiet and comfortable, with only slight tire noise.

Xiao Deng asked: "On the day we met for the second time, was the song on demand called Yuhuatai's Rain?"

Gao Xu nodded, opened the multimedia directly, and selected the song on the touch screen.It was precisely because he had heard it in the car and thought it was okay that he randomly selected this song that day.

For the sake of a natural atmosphere, Gao Xu asked, "Have you ever been to the capital?"

"No." Little Deng said.

Gao Xu said, "Actually, it's very close to Suzhou."

A singing voice came from the car stereo, "Last year's laughter, this year's sorrow, only the light rain remains. Walking in this city that never sleeps in the rain, where will I go?"

After a while, Xiao Deng's voice suddenly said, "We, when will we meet again?"

Gao Xu turned to look at her.She didn't dodge this time, and looked at Gao Xu with strange eyes.

"If you don't start, you can save a lot of trouble." Gao Xu pointed to the speaker and said softly and casually, "I'm talking about this song."

Xiao Deng immediately lowered his head, pinching the corners of the blue-and-red plaid shirt with both hands.

Gao Xu continued: "You take a break for a while. When it enters the production stage, the director may communicate with the screenwriter. At that time, you can be my assistant, or you can communicate with the director alone when I am not free. I think Xiao Deng has fully understood the essence of this script."

"En." Xiao Deng nodded.

After a while, Xiao Deng said: "Just stop here, I will walk back."

Gao Xu put his foot on the brake.

Xiao Deng whispered again, "When you sent me off, I was seen by my classmates once. They said that I had a luxury car to pick me up, and they misunderstood that I was adopted. I explained it, but it's best not to be seen by acquaintances again."

Gao Xu smiled wryly: "Okay, goodbye."

Xiao Deng opened the car door and turned to look at him: "When Mr. Liu needs me, call me."

"Okay." Gao Xu said.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The mobile phone video on the coffee table in the living room is very clear.The picture of Gao Xu calling on the phone was playing inside, and the old-fashioned radio, of course, also appeared in the middle of the video screen.

The hostess on the radio said: "Yes, this gentleman remembers correctly, today is May [-], [-] AD, at [-]:[-] am."

It confirmed the time twice, including Gao Xu's voice and the words of his supporters.
