Golden Boy

Chapter 42

Su Pei sold the car first.

In ancient times, there was Qin Qiong who sold horses, and heroes also had lonely times.Su Pei comforted himself, the car has been idling, could it be turned into a pile of rusty iron?It's better to sell it and make the best use of it.

He first asked a few friends to ask if anyone wanted to buy a second-hand car, then called the owner of an auto repair shop near his home, and finally put the car on the second-hand car market.

The owner of the auto repair shop had news first, but the price was too low, Su Pei was not very happy.Two days later, the agent told Su Pei that someone was willing to buy a car at Su Pei's price.

Things went smoother than Su Pei thought, the buyer was a young man, he didn't seem to care about the price, and the formalities were completed quickly.

After selling the car and getting the manuscript fee, Su Pei can take a breather for a while.He wants to take a vacation for himself, one or two months, he uses this time to relax and tidy up, don't be too anxious, think carefully, find a suitable job, or conceive a new novel.

Su Pei planned well, and the first day of rest was wonderful.Rest the next day, very comfortable.On the third day he started to panic.It turns out that doing nothing can make people feel uncomfortable.His body is lazy, but his mood is not getting better.

Fortunately, a crew contacted him at this time, and the director was someone he knew.

"Teacher Su, I'm Zhou Ze." The director called him himself.

When Su Pei received the call from the director, he thought about it for a while before he suddenly realized that Zhou Ze was his college junior, a few years younger than him, and he was also in the drama club. He met him at the school celebration last time.

That day he and He Yiming went to the rehearsal room of the drama club to reminisce about the past, and then a group of juniors broke in, breaking the tranquility at that moment.

Thinking about it now, He Yiming on that day was too good to be true.

Su Pei calmed down and chatted with Zhou Ze.

It turns out that Zhou Ze is planning to make a literary film and wants to invite Su Pei to watch it.He really wants to cooperate with Su Pei, knowing that Su Pei is free now, so he came to try to invite

The film is still in the initial stages of preparation.Su Pei knew that some movies might not start shooting after several years of preparation.Moreover, it is even more difficult for young directors who have not yet become famous to make literary films, and it is difficult to raise funds.

But he is also idle now, why not meet with Zhou Ze to discuss the script.

Su Pei went to visit Zhou Ze's studio, it was very simple, if not for the professional equipment and editing room, it would have looked more like a dormitory for several college students.

But fortunately, the young people are very energetic, and they all look like they are fighting for their lives.

Zhou Ze told Su Pei that they are now relying on outsourcing to support the studio, but his goal is still to make a feature film.

He told Su Pei frankly: "Mr. Su, if we cooperate, the reward may not be too generous. But I will try my best to fight for you."

Su Pei didn't think he was moved by the enthusiasm of the young people.He switched to screenwriting for a few years and learned not to be too optimistic. The expected works are often very different from the works that are actually produced.

He probably just wants to keep busy.

"What kind of movie do you want to make?" Su Pei asked.

Zhou Ze told him that he wanted to make a suspenseful and romantic road movie.

Su Pei said: "This is not my strong point." He knows exactly what kind of plots he is good at writing.

Zhou Ze also said: "The protagonist will be a mysterious person who will be misunderstood as a fugitive, but in fact he is just wandering. Of course, there must be love in road movies. There is a girl who wants to be a bounty hunter and follow him... ..."

Su Pei wrote down Zhou Ze's words, although he is not good at it, he can still try to write.

They chatted all afternoon. Before leaving, Zhou Ze and Su Pei said: "Mr. Su, next week is the film festival. Just let me know if you have any movies you want to see, and I can get tickets for you. There are still many activities to participate in." , By the way, the people invited for this master class are very luxurious, you must go."

Su Pei agreed, he liked the activities of the film festival very much.

Zhou Ze didn't lie.Although he is not famous enough, he has been in the film industry for several years, and he has a good family background, so he is very popular and well-fed. He got Su Pei tickets for the opening film of the film festival.

They also went to a drinking party together, which was full of stars.Su Pei didn't drink, he just sat at the table and observed everyone.He put on a suit and had his hair done, but some people came to strike up a conversation from time to time, mistaking him for some rich man.

Zhou Ze brought a glass of wine and babbled to Su Pei: "...In my imagination, the leading actor should be Qiu Ruoyang. A very good-looking boy, with a delicate appearance, but also wild..."

Su Pei laughed, he raised his eyes to search, and saw Qiu Ruoyang, a beautiful boy in the distance.He is the most popular idol right now, and people around him keep taking photos with him.

"I'm afraid the crew can't afford his salary?" Su Pei complained.

Zhou Ze said: "Imagine, imagine... Besides, Qiu Ruoyang's acting skills are also a problem. He is very charming on stage, but not off camera."

Su Pei said, "Yes. Acting is not that simple."

Suddenly he thought of He Yiming again.

He Yiming has been able to act as a straight man for more than ten years.

Su Pei immediately came back to his senses, he felt that he had a heart disease, and he should fully devote himself to enjoying this lively and happy time.He is a little upset.

Zhou Ze stood up: "I want to give it a try. The film festival is here to find opportunities."

He used to chat with someone who looked like a manager, it should be Qiu Ruoyang's manager.

Su Pei was watching the two people talking, when suddenly someone said: "Su Pei? Su Pei?"

Su Pei raised his head and saw that it was his old friend, Zhang Meng.Before he could speak, Zhang Meng was already sitting beside him.Su Pei immediately smelled the alcohol on him.

Su Pei and him haven't been in contact for many years. When he just graduated, the novel became popular, which stimulated Zhang Meng, who was also writing.He said that he could introduce the editor to Zhang Meng, but Zhang Meng said that he was intentionally satirizing and slandering Su Pei's novels.

From then on, Su Pei no longer associates with Zhang Meng.

There was no party until the school celebration, and it was extremely unpleasant.Zhang Meng angered He Yiming, and He Yiming beat Zhang Meng, while Su Pei was so frightened that he had a heart attack.

Now think about it, what is it all about!

He now knows that He Yiming actually likes men, so when he hit Zhang Meng, other than because of sexual harassment, he felt somewhat annoyed.

Su Pei touched his face and said, "Yes, you are all well, and your face is not disfigured."

He still doesn't like Zhang Meng.His holiday with Zhang Meng is another matter.

Zhang Meng laughed, and said, "He Yiming is serious about attacking, but I don't want to make a big deal... In other words, why are you here?"

Su Pei said, "A director invited me here."

"Which director?"

"Zhou Ze."

"I haven't heard of it, what kind of movies have you made? I know all the famous directors in this circle," Zhang Meng couldn't wait to show off himself, "I didn't plan to say it, but I was so happy to meet my old classmate today. I Let me tell you, my masterpiece "Seven Stars Fall" is about to be made into a movie version! Who do you think is the lead actor?"

Su Pei was too lazy to guess, and said, "I can't guess. Who is it?"

Zhang Meng said mysteriously: "Qiu Ruoyang! He is the hottest idol now! Lori loves him to death."

Su Pei really laughed now, he looked at director Zhou Ze, and was still talking and gesturing to Qiu Ruoyang's manager.He thinks it would be wonderful to write this scene in the movie now.

He said calmly: "Really, that's very good, congratulations."

Zhang Meng took a sip of his wine, he was not very satisfied with Su Pei's reaction.

When Su Peihong was back then, he was so jealous that he would go crazy and speak ill of Su Pei everywhere.Now it's finally his turn to be popular, and he also wants to see how jealous Su Pei looks like.

But Su Pei was calm, even indifferent.

This reaction only shows one thing - Su Pei never regarded him as an opponent.

Zhang Meng approached Su Pei slowly, and asked with a smile, "Are you still following He Yiming?"

Su Pei asked, "What do you mean?"

He felt that Zhang Meng's question was definitely not out of concern for him and He Yiming.

Zhang Meng really drank too much, he said: "You don't know what it means...you and He Yiming, huh? Think I can't see it?"

Su Pei thought, it turned out that Zhang Meng had discovered it a long time ago... Now it has caused him to be misunderstood.

He said, "You're drunk."

Zhang Meng knew that his jealousy towards Su Pei actually started very early, much earlier than Su Pei's novels became popular.Because Su Pei's face is enough for him to be jealous.As long as Su Pei appears in the drama club, no one will see him.Su Pei is more handsome, chic, and more popular than he who has been dressed up and groomed casually.Even a cruel man like He Yiming treats Su Pei differently.

Zhang Meng said in a low voice: "Don't look at He Yiming's serious look, but I can tell at a glance. You have already done it, right? Tell me, is He Yiming old? Are you happy?"

Su Pei stood up abruptly, took down the wine glass, and spilled all the wine on Zhang Meng.He didn't want to cause trouble in a place with so many people, so he left quickly.

Su Pei went to find Zhou Ze, interrupted him with a smile, and took him away, telling him not to pester Qiu Ruoyang's manager anymore.

Zhou Ze still didn't understand, so he asked, "Teacher Su, what's wrong?"

Su Pei's complexion didn't look very good.

Su Pei breathed out on his chest, and said, "Qiu Ruoyang has already accepted the movie version of "Seven Stars Falling", and an official announcement will be made soon. He doesn't know how to make literary films."

Zhou Ze let out an "ah", feeling very sorry: "He accepted such a movie like this!"

Su Pei said: "No one is irreplaceable. There may not be two identical leaves in the world, but you can definitely find similar leaves."

Zhou Ze immediately understood what he meant, and said, "It seems that we can only find someone to audition."

There was still a commotion in Zhang Meng not far away. He drank too much and fell to the ground when he got up.Someone helped him up, but he was still mumbling.

Su Pei ignored it, and he and Zhou Ze left.
