a lot of time

Probably because Ji Rong's operation level has improved by leaps and bounds, and Shao Guanchao's business level has never slackened. The seemingly daunting challenge five years ago has become extremely easy. It only took the two of them 10 minutes to clean up the chaotic battlefield. Before the arrival of enemy support, we found the experimental base where the ultimate BOSS was secretly held.

Loading and loading the gun, aiming at the crazy bearded man who was strapped to the electric shock treatment chair, Shao Guanchao pressed the R button, the ultimate boss in the game setting who manipulated the audience was shot in the head, and he didn't even have time to say his last words.

The game flashes back many wonderful operations of the two in the past. The two set characters Mr.J and Mr.S are constantly shuttling between various battlefields. The five-year gap seems to have never happened, so that the game easily jumped out at the end. "HerosNeverDie (heroes are immortal)", he was still in a trance.

The game controller was thrown aside, Shao Guanchao turned his head to look at Ji Rong who was also calmly looking at the screen, and said, "Can you tell me a story now?"

Ji Rong dragged out the storage box that Shao Guanchao used to hide snacks under the coffee table, dug out a can of beer and handed it to him: "The story is a bit long, I allow you to drink a can of beer tonight."

Shao Guanchao held Chunsheng's soda can in his hand, and his face turned red and white: "...how did you know that I put Chunsheng there?" This can was bought on a whim more than three months ago, and then put I forgot about it when I put it in the box.

"I didn't let you drink beer before," Ji Rong said with a smile on his face, "but you like to hide the beer in that place. Every time I go to the storage box, I always find that one Two cans."

The two have lived together for a long time, and Ji Rong can always see clearly some of their little quirks and bad habits.

"Okay," Shao Guanchao pulled the tab, took a sip depressed, "tell me."

Ji Rong also opened a can for himself, poured the jerky beer down his throat, and the bubbles exploded in his mouth, causing a little irritation. He took out a photo from his file bag and handed it to Shao Guanchao: "Do you remember this person?"

The plastic packaging of the photo is well preserved. Shao Guanchao can only rely on the billboard in the background to judge that this is a photo taken more than five years ago. In the picture are two men with arms crossed. The one on the right is unknown to Shao Guanchao, while the one on the left is him. Familiar faces from the past.

"Hu Yuan?" Shao Guanchao frowned, "Why do you have his photo?" And who is that person next to him?

Hu Yuan was also a powerful figure in the film industry five or six years ago. However, after his last work "Misha" was defeated at the Tokyo Film Festival, he seemed to have evaporated from the world, and suddenly disappeared in the In the eyes of everyone.

Shao Guanchao is the male number one of "Misha". During the three months in the group, he spent more than [-] hours with the director almost every day. He witnessed how the middle-aged man went from being high-spirited to In the end, he became a little hysterical. A movie can make people into such a virtue, but he actually regrets it a little.

He recalled that after receiving the script, Ji Rong tactfully persuaded him, but the two had quarreled about the script no less than five times, and at that time he couldn't bear to talk to Ji Rong at all.

——It was the same in the past, Shao Guanchao unilaterally announced that he had quarreled with Ji Rong, and then waited for Ji Rong to coax him to humiliate himself, so he had to ask a good drama student with nothing wrong to say something ugly about some trivial matters.

The last conversation between the two was when the filming was coming to an end. Ji Rong rushed from City B to Hengdian, and waited for nearly six hours before seeing Shao Guanchao who had just been NGed 8 times before reluctantly leaving work.Shao Guanchao took a deep breath in his heart, opened the hotel door and saw Ji Rong who was typing on the keyboard in front of the desk, he was even more angry: "What are you doing here? Don't you look down on this crew? Our small place can't accommodate it." You big Buddha."

Ji Rong pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, closed the laptop, and poured Shao Guanchao a glass of water: "I just finished class."

"Oh, I also applied for a deferred exam." Shao Guanchao took a sip of water, "It's not as good as your national award for outstanding students."

"When I was submitting the end-of-class report, I saw some opinions on Director Hu's work on Professor Luo's desk." Ji Rong pushed a stack of printing paper in front of Shao Guanchao, "The teacher and I have the same opinion. I think the subject matter of this work is too extreme, and it is likely to cause problems.”

Shao Guanchao returned the printing paper intact to Ji Rong's hand, and said coldly: "You are reading the original script, which has been changed a lot now, so don't always watch this movie with prejudice."

"Xiao Shui, sometimes the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment." Ji Rong still had a tone of serious consideration for him, "Of course I also hope that you will win the award, but this work is really inappropriate."

The high-intensity shooting and the director's increasingly critical attitude over the past few days have kept Shao Guanchao's nerves tensed, and he dare not slack off at all. Hearing Ji Rong keep thinking about himself, but the subtext is all belittle this movie, Shao Guanchao's root The string finally broke.

Shao Guanchao stood up from the sofa, walked to the desk without saying a word, put Ji Rong's laptop together with the data cable and mouse into the computer bag, looked around and found him in the corner of the sofa before he had time The opened suitcase, picked up the suitcase, and stuffed it back into Ji Rong's hand along with the computer bag: "You go."

Ji Rong held the suitcase and wanted to say a few more words, but when he touched Shao Guanchao's tired eyes, he could only back down and say, "We'll talk when you calm down."

"There's nothing to talk about. Let's go. The farther the better, don't bother me." Shao Guanchao pushed the man out of the door and said harsh words.

After that, the two never saw each other again.When the film was finished editing, some media and film critics were invited to participate in the trial reading. The comments released made the film extremely popular. Shao Guanchao looked at the comments and heaved a sigh of relief. He felt that this unilateral declaration of war with Ji Rong was finally I won by myself.

Then he triumphantly went to the Tokyo Film Festival, and the judges gave the opinion that "the plot of the story is chaotic and the character of the characters is not outstanding."For a person who has always been confident in acting, it is a profound irony that the characters are not outstanding.

Shao Guanchao took a sip of beer to bring his thoughts back, and he said to Ji Rong, "Where did you get this photo?"

"I asked Hu Yuan's former assistant to help me get the photo. And this person next to Hu Yuan," Ji Rong pointed to the man with a scar under his left eyelid and said, "He is the real "Misha" It was also his hand that wrote the screenplay and edited the final version.”

"His name is Deng Fengen. Teacher Luo almost accepted him as a closed student," Ji Rong said. "In his second year of graduate school, something happened to his family. As an unknown original creator, he had nowhere to go but sold scripts to make money by being a shooter."

"Hu Yuan has not had any breakthrough new works since "Maple Leaf Giant Tower". Later, he found the book "Misha" by chance, so he found Deng Fengen and bought it," Ji Rong tried his best when speaking. Keeping it plain and making the voice sound objective, "Hu Yuan did put a lot of effort into the movie "Misha", but in fact this book was originally written by Deng Fengen."

"And Deng Fengen's anti-social personality was already very serious when he created "Misha". If you carefully scrutinize the original script, there are many sensitive contents in it that are not suitable for remaking into a movie," Ji Rong turned the photo upside down in the On the floor, "But Deng Fengen is very smart, he changed the order of several main plots into a new script."

"The thoughts in the original script are very dangerous. Once you deeply empathize with the protagonist's thoughts, your mental state will easily become unstable. Hu Yuan was influenced by the original script, and he is still recuperating in the hospital in LA," Ji Rong said. Playing the photo, "He gave me this photo before I came back."

Shao Guanchao frowned: "This person has never appeared on the set..."

Ji Rongdao: "Creation is a very energy-consuming labor, not to mention that for an author with an anti-social personality, maintaining a stable writing state requires a quiet creative environment. Hu Yuan arranged him in the farthest room of the crew hotel , was only allowed to hand over the script changes requested by Hu Yuan to him at six o'clock in the morning every day."

"How do you know these things?" Shao Guanchao frowned and looked at Ji Rong.Regarding this past incident, although he was not there himself, he knew more about the inside story than Shao Guanchao who participated in the filming.

"After returning from the hotel that time, I found the original script of "Misand" hidden in the bookcase when I was tidying up the club office," Ji Rong said, "The signature on it is Deng Fengen."

Shao Guanchao heard Ji Rong say again: "I reported Hu Yuan and Deng Fengen to the Writers Association."

Shao Guanchao was taken aback: "...Why is there no media coverage of such a big event in China?"

"Ji's family bought the news from the media. In exchange, I submitted an application to study finance in LA." When Ji Rong said this, his expression was calm, as if the person who was forced to change his life was not himself like that.

Shao Guanchao pinched the can in his hand, and felt the body of the can was so cold that his heart sank from the cold.

"Since I was a child, I have been educated that you have to pay for what you gain. So I was asked to take this degree and not be able to contact you, which is fair," Ji Rong suddenly showed a sly smile, "Look, I am so Clever, didn't I come back to find you after completing my credits in advance?"

"Then why don't you remember to tell me?" Shao Guanchao felt a tightness in his chest, and his heart ached when he spoke.

Ji Rong drank the can of beer in his hand, and threw the can into the trash can in a standard shooting posture. He turned his head and smiled bitterly at Shao Guanchao: "You have blocked all my contact information. When I come back, I will contact you as soon as I come up." Will you believe me when you say these things?"

At that time, Shao Guanchao was indeed a little too angry. Dongying came back and fell into the sand. He always felt that his former best friend who was walking to another boarding gate looked at him with a gloating expression.On the spot, he gritted his teeth and acted to block WeChat and delete his mobile phone number, and simply changed his mobile phone number on the grounds of "illegal meal harassment".

Shao Guanchao knew he was wrong, touched his nose and quickly thought of another point: "Why does your family have to force you to study finance in LA?"

"Because I told them I like you." When Ji Rong said this, his expression was relaxed and natural, as if he didn't realize how powerful his words were. My eldest brother took over my mother's entertainment company, so if I want to be with you, I must first prepare for taking over my father's company."

"Boom——" Shao Guanchao didn't hold the can in his hand, and it hit the ground and spilled a bright yellow liquid. He didn't bother to wipe the beer that spread freely on the floor, and looked at Ji Rong with shocked eyes: "You...you say what?"

At this time, Ji Rong actually had the thought to straighten the can first, and then wiped the floor with a paper towel. Then, he looked up into Shao Guanchao's eyes seriously, and repeated word by word: "I said, I like it." you."

"Xiao Shui, I like you. I have liked you since a long time ago."

The author has something to say:

You Ji finally confessed.
