Go back door

This morning, Shen Wenle took Lele to play in the newly built elementary school next door. There was no one on the campus on Saturday, and Lele played very crazy. When Shen Wenle ran back to him after the fuss, he found that all four of his feet were covered with plastic from the new playground. The runway was worn out, and he lay whimpering against his legs in pain.

Shen Wenle hurriedly took it to the veterinarian. It hid in Shen Wenle's arms and refused to poke its head. Coupled with the stupid thing it did just now, the veterinarian laughed out loud. But there was nothing wrong with its feet, just apply the ointment for a few days and stop walking.

It is a baby inside, but its size is not small. Shen Wenle took it home with great difficulty, and then Yu Chongzhou called. They had made an appointment to go out for lunch, but because of this, they temporarily changed to Shen Wenle's house, and Yu Chongzhou He also showed off his good cooking skills by the way.

After eating, Shen Wenle saw that Lele was pitiful, so he unpacked a pack of snacks for it, and put it on the balcony outside the French window. Lele heard the sound of the packing bag, stood up, took two trembling steps, and fell down again. He hummed miserably.

Yu Chongzhou smiled and said, "I'll carry it over." After speaking, he knelt down to hug the dog.

But Lele twisted her body not to be hugged by him, and made an incomprehensible grunt from her throat, and her big drooping ears perked up.

Yu Chongzhou tried twice without success, Shen Wenle said strangely: "It's very dear, what happened today?"

Yu Chongzhou was a little embarrassed, and explained: "I have no relationship with animals since I was a child."

"Come on, it might be a little shy."

After Lele ate happily, Shen Wenle asked Yu Chongzhou to try out the newly bought projector together.He likes to watch movies, but there is no audio-visual room in this house, and the TV screen is not big enough, so he chose a new type of projector, equipped with good speakers, and it is said that the effect is similar to that of a mini theater.

Before the machine was turned on, Yu Chongzhou glanced at it and said, "I have used this model, and the effect is not bad."

"Brother Yu's house also has it?"

"The studio has it. I know one is better than this one. I'll send you the model later."

Shen Wenle fiddled with the machine, turned on the camera according to the instructions, and said, "No need, my appreciation level is limited, this is enough."

"Don't say that," Yu Chongzhou looked at his beautiful and serious side face and said, "Lele... Director Guan said that you founded Steam Malt. I was very surprised at first, but now I feel that only you can do such a good thing .”

"Godmother told you?"

"Well, why don't you ever mention it yourself?"

Shen Wenle said embarrassingly: "I just paid some money, there is nothing worth mentioning, I'm afraid you will laugh at me."

"How could it be?" Yu Chongzhou paused, and then said: "Lele, there is something I don't know whether I should tell you, but I really want to share it with you."

"what?"

"I have done a long-term event, organizing weekly screenings of films that cannot be shown in theaters."

"what?"

Seeing that Shen Wenle didn't understand, he added, "It's an illegal non-governmental film screening organization."

As early as last year, when he was still in Hong Kong, with a passion for movies and dissatisfaction with the domestic system, he secretly founded this organization in S City. It has no name, and some are just a silent network group. It is called the screening date that can be changed at any time. Newcomers can only join after being recommended and reviewed by the team members, and the existence of the organization is not allowed outside the group. No one speaks in the group. He only announces the screening time and location the day before the screening. At first, once a month. Later, it quickly changed to biweekly, once a week, and the content has also increased from simple movie broadcasts to director meetings or other activities, and more people in the circle have participated, no longer limited to scattered fans, and now the scale has become quite large. big.

"I want real movie fans to have a place to go, and let excellent movies have a small piece of their world in the harsh domestic environment, so as to maintain the dignity of film art."

In order to test the effect of the projector, Shen Wenle closed all the curtains, leaving only a glimmer of light, and at this moment everything is vaguely shadowed in this remaining light and shadow, which is extremely unreal.

In this dark shadow, Shen Wenle realized that Yu Chongzhou had shared a big secret with him, this secret was full of romantic ideals, and his eyes were so gentle and focused, and his voice seemed to be tainted with a hazy poetic flavor , with a corner of the floor-to-ceiling curtain fluttering in the wind got into his ear: "Lele, just like you did."

"I?"

"No, you've done more than me." Yu Chongzhou said, gradually becoming emotional, he couldn't help leaning towards Shen Wenle, and lowered his head in his bewildered expression.

The moment their lips touched, Shen Wenle woke up with a start, and pushed him with both hands.

Suddenly there was a "crash", Lele didn't know when he finished his snacks and wanted to come in from the balcony. He limped and fell on the curtains.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Brother Yu..." Shen Wenle panicked, moved his body to the side, feeling a little regretful in his heart, feeling that he shouldn't have invited people to the house, and even blamed Qi Jia "as much as possible." contact more observation" bad idea.

"It's my fault, I was too anxious," Yu Chong apologized with a sigh of regret, went to get the machine on the table, and said, "Let's continue watching the movie, I will take you to the next event, you will understand."

Two days later, Yu Chongzhou really brought Shen Wenle to the event site. There was not only a screening, but also a new director who had just won an award abroad. Maybe Yu Chongzhou had greeted him. Everyone was not surprised to see Shen Wenle. They all smiled and said hello to him. This was the first time Shen Wenle had received a favor from a movie fan other than his fans, so he was flattered.

During the quiet screening time, Yu Chongzhou tentatively reached for Shen Wenle's hand, seeing that Shen Wenle's body stiffened nervously and remained motionless, he quickly took it back.

After the event, Yu Chongzhou sent Shen Wenle home and said on the way: "Lele, actually I brought you here because I want you to do it with me. I will be in charge of coordinating. You can help provide the venue. The current venues are relatively temporary. Conditions and safety cannot be guaranteed, which is a headache.”

Shen Wenle was surprised by his invitation, and asked, "Does godmother know?"

"I mentioned it, but she thought it was just a small event with a dozen people, and she didn't support it, so she didn't continue the discussion," Yu Chongzhou said, "Director Guan is more conservative and hopes to find other ways to survive, but I can't see it. to hope."

Shen Wenle was not quite able to distinguish between right and wrong, so he hesitated: "Brother Yu... I don't know, I have to think about it."

"It's okay, it's just my willful behavior, it's really hard to understand, but anyway, please keep it a secret for me."

"Sure, don't worry."

In the next few days, Shen Wenle really considered this matter seriously.

Yu Chongzhou has always known how to advance and retreat in his work, giving people a gentle and reliable feeling, making it difficult to suspect that he will make mistakes. Most importantly, he takes the film so seriously, just walking with him seems to be a firm attitude, a kind of A great honor.But this matter is too sensitive, what if it is discovered, will it have many unexpected consequences?

I just can't discuss it with others.

Shen Wenle was extremely distressed, and after thinking about it for a few days, he couldn't figure out why. Facing Yu Chongzhou's many inquiries, he could only dodge.

That day, he went to Gao Yuwen again to grind the script to no avail, and then walked to the 10th floor to relax, and found that the entire floor was empty, only seeing a director.

Lao Li hung up the phone, looked up and saw Shen Wenle who was entering the door, and was about to hide, but Shen Wenle had already warmly greeted him.

"Brother Li, isn't everyone here?"

Lao Li had no choice but to say: "It's Lele...everyone has gone to work."

"On such a hot day, are you going to work outside?"

"After all, I was severely criticized by Mr. Yue at the meeting just now."

"Mr. Yue? What did he say?"

Lao Li looked around, but didn't see Yue Ye's figure. After thinking about it a few times, he lowered his voice and said: "He said that we will only spend money and not make money. We will reform in the future, and firing people may not be ruled out."

Shen Wenle turned pale with shock: "What, how is this possible?!"

Lao Li smiled wryly: "The company must make money when employing people, we understand."

"That depends on the situation, our project is special."

Lao Li shook his head and sighed: "Hey...it's just that I said 'special', and he blushed when he said it."

The just-concluded meeting was indeed the most serious one since Yue Ye took office, and Guan Lianxin was not there, so he directly called the director, screenwriter and other staff below.

The previous work was just a routine work. After that, he suddenly asked them if they knew the financial status of his project in the company. Seeing a group of people looking at each other, he asked them if they knew the status quo of the film market "two gains, one balance and seven losses". The room was still silent.

Yue Yedao: "Since the establishment of the company, only Guan Dao and Wang Yang's projects have made money, and the awards have also gained the most. The investment of others is greater than the output. No matter in terms of cash return and other aspects, many projects have even been abandoned halfway. , There are various reasons, including 'no inspiration', I want to ask, what is 'inspiration'?"

Lao Li said, "Boss, we are quite special here, and you understand..."

"What I understand is that Shen Ruoyu didn't care about you before and tried to meet your needs as much as possible, but do you think you are worthy of his trust? If he spends so much money on charity, there will still be people lined up to thank you, even if you throw it in You can also hear a few plops in the water, but it is used on you, and there is only a natural word 'special'."

Now Lao Li didn't speak anymore.

"I hope you understand that I am one of my own people, and no matter what I say, it is for everyone's benefit. We can't think that we are making literary and artistic films and think highly of ourselves, let alone the results we make are not even satisfactory to ourselves. Don't forget to support us It's the funding from Lihui Pictures, it's a commercial film, and the company's money didn't come from the wind."

Cai Chenyang said: "Boss, we definitely didn't mean that. Even if we had it before, after coming to Lihui and meeting so many professional people, we already understood our gap."

"Okay, this is what I mean, we should learn to make movies more professionally and maturely, instead of relying on the so-called 'inspiration' to make small troubles, and besides, I think continuous writing is the 'inspiration' of the screenwriter, the camera does not Stopping is the director's 'inspiration'. Next, I will calculate the input and output, and also have requirements for the process, including the necessary commercial marketing and elimination mechanism. Let me first focus on the marketing plan that will start soon..."

Immediately afterwards, the meeting was held for another 2 hours, and no one raised any objections. After leaving the door of the meeting room, they hurried away one by one.

Lao Li's words were full of helplessness and sorrow, as if the entire project team would soon die.Shen Wenle got close to them and trusted them very much. After listening to them, she was worried for them, and hurriedly said: "Brother Li, don't worry, I'll go to Mr. Yue, if it doesn't work, go to my brother, anyway, I won't let anyone go."

"It's okay. I know you care about us. It's enough to have this heart. What to do depends on Mr. Yue's arrangement." Lao Li looked at the new information on the phone after finishing speaking, then wiped the screen with his head down and said, " By the way, Lele, when I saw you, I suddenly thought of something. I have a friend whose sister is Xiao Jin. She is a loyal fan of yours. I heard that she showed you a novel written by her a while ago. Look... ...is it useful?"

"Brother Li, do you know Xiaojin?!"

"Yeah, we've known each other for many years."

Shen Wenle said pleasantly: "That's great, you can go with me to see the executive tomorrow, he went out today, I think Xiao Jin's novel is very good, if you know her, then it will be fine."

Lao Li lowered his head and smiled, and said, "Okay, then this child is blessed. I... I have something to do, so I have to go first."

"Okay, see you tomorrow!" After Shen Wenle finished speaking, seeing Lao Li walking in a hurry, he did not forget to comfort him, "Brother Li, you are not in a hurry, just take good care of Mrs. Li."

Lao Li's wife suffers from severe kidney disease. It is said that she has to be admitted to the hospital for dialysis from time to time in the past two years. It is a lot of pressure on the family in terms of energy and financial resources.

Lao Li stopped in his tracks, didn't look back, just nodded emphatically: "Thank you."

Before Yue Ye left, he sent a message to Guan Lianxin after the meeting. He put on a bad face and beat him, and it was time for her to play a white face to appease him. Someone knocked on the door of his office just as he was done.

"Come in."

"Boss..." Xing Chuan's voice came from the door, Yue Ye put away his phone and said with a smile, "Don't call me that."

Xing Chuan also smiled: "I'm just not used to you today, Brother Yue."

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to change you, it's just that the management was too loose before, and some rules need to be set."

"Brother Yue, everyone understands, just needs some time to get used to it, but I don't know anything, I'm afraid I'll be slowed down by then."

"You are an important selling point of our team. I watched the finished film "Marriage in the Dark", and it is very good. However, due to the subject matter, we still need to fight for it to be released in theaters. By then, the film can make you the most talented person with both appearance and talent." Young directors."

Xing Chuan still has doubts about the commercialization of literary films: "Brother Yue, is this really good?"

"Attention can never be too much, marketing is only a moderate assist, the key lies in whether you can maintain your original intention and ensure the quality of your work."

"But I don't know if I can satisfy you."

"You don't have to worry about it, someone will run it, you just need to make a good movie."

Xing Chuan absolutely trusted Yue Ye, and he dispelled his worries with just one sentence, saying: "Okay, then everything will be according to Brother Yue."

After Shen Wenle bid farewell to Lao Li, he went straight to Yue Ye's office to ask about the situation, and happened to see Yue Ye and Xing Chuan coming out of the office talking and laughing.

Seeing him, Yue Ye said happily, "Lele, are you here to find me?"

This brisk and joyful greeting was beyond Xing Chuan's expectation. He turned his head and looked at the people around him, only to see a smile on his face, as if just seeing Shen Wenle was a great joy.

"Well, Mr. Yue, I have something to ask you." Shen Wenle said, seeing Xing Chuan was a little awkward.

Although he established Steam Malt, he has always been a little inferior in his heart, feeling that he is out of tune with real art creators like them, especially Xingchuan is handsome and talented, and he is better than himself from any angle. Qi Jia once said that Yue Ye He and he are the ones who are all the way. Looking at it today, the two of them are really suitable for walking together. He couldn't help thinking, what if Xingchuan is also gay, he will lose no matter what.

"Xingchuan, then Lele and I will leave first, and we will talk to you later."

As Yue Ye said, he dragged Shen Wenle away, he hadn't seen anyone for two days, and he had to go on a business trip tomorrow, this rare time can't be snatched away by others.

As Shen Wenle was walking, he couldn't help but glance back, and saw that Xing Chuan was looking at them with a strange expression, and he didn't hide his gaze when he met him, just looking at him so straightly, which made him feel guilty.

Yue Ye pulled him: "What are you looking at, watch out for the door."

"Nothing, just wondering where everyone went?"

Yue Ye thought for a while and said, "Lele, do you still remember that I said that I want to bring steam malt to get better and better?"

"remember."

"Becoming better is very painful, and it will take a lot of time. I held a meeting today. At the meeting, I made a lot of demands, and everyone may not agree."

"Where are my brother and Director Guan?"

"They agreed with me. By the way, you just said you had something to ask me?"

"It's nothing..."

Maybe it was not directly related to Shen Wenle. Yue Ye didn't say much, but it sounded similar to what Lao Li said. The operation of the project would be very different from the present, at least more utilitarian and cruel than it is now.

Shen Wenle still couldn't tell right from wrong.

Over the past few years, he watched Yue Ye through the Internet countless times and mentioned his love for movies, and complained and lamented the domestic market. Now that he wants to make changes, it must be for the good of everyone, and he has also won the support of his brother and godmother.

It's just... In comparison, Yu Chongzhou's organization is purer, and it can bring shelter and unity to those faltering directors and movie fans, instead of struggling in the torrent of business.

If steam malts are starting to have competition, don't they need a safer haven?

Yu Chongzhou seemed to have heard his sway, and sent a new message in a timely manner: "Lele, join me, we will help many people, and become an indispensable piece of history in the development of domestic films."

After a while, Shen Wenle made a decision and replied: "Okay, I agree."
