The boy was slightly drunk, and it was time to brag.

The past few months have been booming, and the resources that Chang Zhou casually gave him have also made his eyes full of money.

The wine glass was put on the table, and the boy exaggerated his experience: "The crew is professional enough, and the personnel scheduling will not be chaotic. It looks like a big production!"

The boy was brought by Chang Zhou to the crew of "Infinite Winter and Summer", and met the two of them once.

Ren Guangnian had no expression when looking at outsiders, even when he was smiling at Chang Zhou.Chang Zhou embraced the pale and frail boy, and his color changed instantly due to his excitement.With such eyes, even Chang Zhou could see that it was a threat.

Ren Guangnian was laughing that he couldn't bear the addiction, knowing that his previous life was ruined by the scandal exposure, and this life was overjoyed, so he cocked his tail again, obviously to give Ren Guangnian a handle.

The boy didn't expect that the half-truths and half-truths he said after drinking were heard in the ears of the victim.

"Don't bury me, Mr. Chang just likes people like me. What he is most puzzled about is why so many people like Ran Shi. I want to ask him why he doesn't like it."

"You don't know how much better-looking he is in real life than on TV. Hey... But I knew it when I saw him. He is not the same person as us." The boy exaggeratedly sighed, "We exchanged room cards, and he was handed a love letter. It doesn't matter, everyone has his own aspirations!"

Ran Shi just laughed for a while, but now his eyebrows are still bent, and his eyes are also shining vividly in the dark.

He stands there, like a delicate fine brushwork painting, hazy looking from afar, or observing the texture of brush strokes, you can never get tired of seeing it again and again.After looking at it for a long time, the surrounding images are rendered in, but all the splendor in the painting is to set off his clean and outstanding appearance.

This is probably what the boy said, and it is different from theirs.

"You ask Mr. Chang's repeated withdrawal of capital? Why can't he feel that he doesn't make money. He is very short of money now!"

The boy shrugged. He had spent 10 minutes talking about Ran Shi, and now he started complaining about Chang Zhou.

"Research and development requires too much money, and it is a new technology without foundation. Most of the net worth is invested in entertainment, isn't it just hoping to fight and turn around before the cold winter of film and television comes? Otherwise, it is impossible to have a relationship with Dynasty Entertainment... "

Ren Guangnian's eyes flashed—Changzhou and Dynasty Entertainment have a cooperative relationship?

No wonder Qiu Jian suddenly went all out to become a top player, and Chang Zhou has been concentrating on his business recently and pretending to be patient; the role of the IP drama that Dynasty Artists has in hand must be Chang Zhou's matchmaking!

It all makes sense.

He immediately sent a message asking someone to check the boy's information.The investigation of Chang Zhou, which had been stagnant for a while, finally had a breakthrough.

He will not reject the handle that Chang Zhou sent up.

Unexpectedly, the boy blew for a while, and then said in a soft tone that he was back to Ren Guangnian.

"Hey, I still think he's interested in me, and he even smiled at me. Don't laugh, you, who would take business CP seriously? You've been brainwashed by fans?"

The boy was just talking nonsense, talking about everything just to brag.

Ren Guangnian stretched out his hand, and twirled Nian Ran Shi's stretched palm with his fingertips.

Ran Shi was dressed thinner than him today, still smiling, and hugged his hot fingertips.

The straight shoulder line descends into a rounded arc.The cuffs are wide, revealing a section of translucent white wrist, glowing in the light.

Ren Guangnian looked at it for a while, then looked away.

He has always been prone to a vague longing these days.

...Before the time came, he couldn't hold back anymore.

"Ren Guangnian isn't easy to hook up with, is he? He's only in his early twenties, I don't know yet, at this age, it's easy to catch fire. Hey... I think you can walk with me if you hold hands."

The victim suppressed his anger and flipped through the documents he sent.It can be seen that Chang Zhou intends to support him, and has prepared several main roles in big IP dramas for the boy.

——Okay, Changzhou and the others don't want these IPs anymore.

Ran Shi lowered his eyes and listened to the exaggeration of the boy's words, and suddenly, in the middle of a ridiculous discussion, he held his hand behind his back.

Ran Shi's voice floated above the music and noise.

"Come with me?"

******

A man with an extremely grim complexion appeared at the door of the bar, pushed his glasses, and walked in front of the boy sullenly.

"I ran so far just to have a glass of wine," Chang Zhou was obviously angry, and felt ashamed, "I can hear your voice standing at the door! You are talking nonsense!"

The boy's expression changed, and he shrank back on the chair: "Mr. Chang, why are you here..."

Chang Zhou is very angry, and he still has to maintain his demeanor in front of everyone: "He likes to talk big when he's drunk, and it's all fake. Don't worry about it, everyone."

The drinking buddies all said it well, and they couldn't help spreading gossip anymore.

The boy knew that he had made a mistake, so he did the oath exercise silently in his heart.

"I really didn't say anything. I'm filming with Dynasty people. I just said a few more words."

Chang Zhou's face was very bad: "Dynasty Entertainment has nothing to do with me! If you talk about it, get out!"

The boy froze into a ball and dared not speak any more, and was dragged away.

Chang Zhou paused, and muttered, "Who is so weird that we meet in a bar for noodles?"

******

The evening breeze at the end of summer was refreshing and pleasant. The two of them strolled home slowly and watched the lake criticized by Ren Chenhui for a while on the terrace.

The surface of the water was glowing finely under the lamp, Ren Guangnian leaned on the railing, seriously flipping through the script brought by Sister Jin, with a not-so-good expression on his face.

Ran Shi asked him how he felt, and he asked back, "What do you think?"

Both scripts are TV dramas.One is a youth idol drama with a popular IP, cooperating with the popular Xiaohua; the other is a drama on CCTV-[-], with an average production team, but the invisible bonus is very good.

Ran Shi shook his head, a little disappointed: "None of them are good enough."

The boy was right in saying that winter was coming.There are only a few good projects every year. Ran Shi tried to lower the salary in exchange for more opportunities. Obviously, the short-term effect is not good.

The two chatted for a while, then entered the living room, Ren Guangnian put the script back on the sofa and coffee table: "Don't force yourself if you don't like it. I'm going to be a judge at the Sichuan Film Festival next week, and they want to pick a few films to go to Rotterdam , to go from my side."

Ran Shi looked at Ren Guangnian with a serious expression, and smiled.A young man in his early twenties, with a very youthful face, is always stern, and he is not ambiguous at all when he is a judge or a mentor.

Ren Guangnian drank half a glass of water, leaned on the sofa and looked at him with a relaxed expression: "What are you thinking?"

In recent years, there have been a lot of domestic film festivals. In addition to the selection of films, it also provides some exchange opportunities for project venture capital.Most of the venture capital projects are independent films, but there are also some big directors who will bring mature projects to participate in order to promote their films.

Ran Shi thought about it for a moment: "I want to see it too."

Sister Jin gave Ran Shi a long vacation for nearly a month, and he was free until the fashion week.

Immediately, Ren Guangnian straightened his face again, showing a bit of a stance against his boss: "No, let you take a vacation, it is for self-cultivation."

Fashion week is not just about watching shows for a few days. Last year, Ran Shi's schedule was compressed very intensively. After a few days, he didn't sleep at all. He was either participating in various activities, or changing clothes, taking photos and recording materials.

When Ran Shi was still in Wanchao Entertainment, he had been rushing to make announcements for a long time, and his physique was always poor, with various inflammations constantly.At that time, I went to Paris with a low fever, and when I came back with a high fever, I hung a few bottles of salt water and joined the crew of "Ming Yuan".

Ren Guangnian knew that it was reckless to pull someone into the room for an injury check, and might scare Ran Shi away, but he really couldn't see another accident happening to Ran Shi.

"It's much better now," Ran Shi quickly explained, "It's the first time I'm not acclimatized, and it'll be fine the second time. I'm rarely injured."

Ren Guangnian responded and raised his eyes to look at him. He stretched out his hand and pulled him closer.

"is it?"

Ran Shi was caught off guard and fell in front of him, his heart skipped a beat.

His body was unstable, and he could barely maintain his balance by grabbing Ren Guangnian's shoulders.A hand was ironed on his back, stroking a piece of delicate skin from under the shoulder blade with strength.

Ren Guangnian felt a tremor under his palm.

Ran Shi spent the next five years in a muddle, no one could say anything about his injuries, he just waited for the wounds to heal on their own.If it wasn't for being blind and hurting his back, and Ran Shi lifted up his shirt to show him, he wouldn't have known how many layers of old wounds there were on Ran Shi's back.

But when I asked Ran Shi again, Ran Shi didn't elaborate with him.Ren Guangnian felt sore for a while, after all...he was just a friend who appeared suddenly and forged his identity.

More than anyone else, he looked forward to the moment when the truth would end.

This old injury that never happened was actually painful, Ran Shi tried to avoid it with his back, but the hand landed on his waist and pressed lightly.

"Well--"

After being pressed by him like this, Ran Shi's waist went limp.

The knees that were struggling were also cushioned by the gentle palms, and the heat made him shiver all over.The bruise on the stage, even the scars have faded cleanly, Ren Guangnian still remembers it.

They are too close now.Ran Shi secretly groaned in his heart, no matter being scolded, it is a bit embarrassing to be seated in such a submissive position, kneeling on his lap.

This person was acting coquettish to him in the bar just now, but now he suddenly became strong, he couldn't stand it at all...

He couldn't help but glance at the French windows facing the sun in the living room.

At the beginning, I chose this place because of the privacy and privacy, but the glass curtain wall design with an open view still made Ran Shi tremble with nervousness.

"There are a few more," Ren Guangnian's tone even brought a bit of complaint, "Don't remember?"

"It's normal to have accidents during filming..." His breath was on his face, and if he got any closer, he might lose control, so Ran Shi could only softly beg for forgiveness, "Small injuries are not a problem. Haven't you had them too?"

Ren Guangnian didn't want to know what kind of injury Ran Shi was using for comparison.From Ran Shi's point of view, those that can heal are considered minor injuries.

How can it be calculated like this?With a sour heart, he grabbed the hand that was relaxed from his shoulder, and clenched his somewhat cold wrist.

Ran Shi was still at a loss, his mind was in chaos, and he finally found another topic.

"Well... your birthday is coming soon, what gift do you want?"

Ran Shi calculated that Ren Guangnian's birthday was at the end of October, which happened to coincide with the film festival awards, which was the busiest time.

Ren Guangnian stared at him for a while, then finally let go of his hand, his voice still hoarse.

"You'll find out soon enough."

******

It was dark when he came downstairs.

Sitting in the car, he made a call, put his hand on the steering wheel and knocked, and the tone of the call was normal: "Brother."

Ren Chenhui had already returned to the company. Seeing his call, he asked in confusion: "It's so late, why are you still free to call me? You didn't stay overnight?"

Ren Guangnian's forehead twitched: "...I have something else to ask you."

The two brothers fought each other in their hearts, feeling that the other didn't understand anything.

Ren Chenhui cursed resentfully, and after hearing what Ren Guangnian said, his tone suddenly became serious.

"Are you sure you want to do this? It's dangerous."

"I promise, it will succeed."

--------

When I got off the plane, I felt hot flashes.

With a busy schedule, well-known directors and actors from all over the world rushed to be judges. After landing, they were invited to the venue of the film festival, Emei Film Studio.

Most of the judges came here during the announcement, rushed into the reading room to watch the shortlisted films, and watched the participating films all day long.

It's just that during the break, they couldn't help but look sideways...how come some people bring their own family members!

Ran Shi wanted to work on the script with all his heart, and made several promises on his birthday night before Ren Guangnian agreed.With Ran Shi's fame, the organizers didn't stop him from reading the films. Who wouldn't like a free facade sign?

The judges are all academics, secretly looking down on non-major backgrounds.Only when Ren Guangnian brought back the three major non-major classes can they be convinced; Ran Shi has not achieved much so far, and in their eyes, he is still the most despised traffic star.

Ran Shi was very quiet, except when he walked in to say hello in the morning, he had been by Ren Guangnian's side all the time, and eating was also a special meal, which didn't take up his share.

After such a high-intensity review, some judges couldn't bear it anymore and fell asleep in the afternoon.In a daze, he glanced at Ran Shi, who was actually more serious and careful than them, looking at the screen while taking notes.

Some people were ashamed and some were dissatisfied. They took the opportunity of the staff to pour tea and asked, "Why did I have to wait one more time for this tea to come to me?"

The staff hurriedly said: "Because there is one more person... No, no, I didn't count correctly, just wait a moment!"

Ran Shi was beside that person, pushing the teacup: "Teacher, if you don't mind, you can drink this cup first, I haven't touched it before."

The man was just venting about pouring tea.

Before he complained, Ran Shi told the staff to exchange tea for him immediately.The man reluctantly took a symbolic sip, the tea was extremely refreshing, and he knew it was good tea.He is short-handed, and it is not easy to have another attack.

After a while, an even better cup of tea was placed in front of all the judges.

Some people were not convinced, and muttered: "Why are you sitting here if you are not a judge?"

Director Chen heard it from the corner, smiled, stood up, walked towards this side with sloppy steps, pulled out a chair, and squeezed between the two of them.

"Today's movie review is almost over, Ran Shi, please tell me what you think of these movies."

Ran Shi nodded, showing a warm smile, and opened his mouth to speak eloquently, occasionally comparing notes.

The other judges didn't care at first, but after listening casually, they panicked. They lowered their heads and flipped through the review results.

It's exactly the same!

Even his short comment coincided with everyone's. A group of experts in the industry were dumbfounded, listening to Ran Shi's guess like a standard answer.

Ran Shi has only been here for a long time, how did he bet on all the award-winning films? !

The film festival has been held for several years, and it has already had its own judging style, and it is extremely difficult to define in-depth literary films.Even if you were looking for a group of majors from the director department of Beijing Film Academy, who are not familiar with the style of film festivals, they would not be able to guess so accurately.

There is only one possibility.

Ran Shi has already done his homework, and he has thoroughly studied all the award-winning films of at least the previous five sessions—only three days!

The judges dare not show contempt in the eyes of the judges. It is impossible to figure out the judges' aesthetics from dozens of movies in three days without perseverance and knowledge accumulation.

Ran Shi coughed, and the judges on the other side stood up first: "It's near the air-conditioning vent, my throat is easy to dry, why don't you sit here?"

Ran Shi still smiled: "Director Zhang, you are too polite, I brought throat lozenges, it doesn't matter."

Director Zhang was taken aback, but when others saw it, it was Ren Guangnian who took out a box of throat lozenges from his pocket and handed it to Ran Shi.

The directors who know the language of action best collectively had dry throats and started coughing one after another.

******

The participants of the Venture Capital Fair had a dinner together tonight, Ren Guangnian participated in the double capacity of the employer and the judge, and Ran Shi also took a seat.

A group of rookie directors looked at each other in blank dismay.Ran Shi is like a bright pearl that suddenly fell into the room. Everyone knows him, but they don't know how he appeared here.

Ren Guangnian had just ordered the chef from the back kitchen, and he walked and sat beside Ran Shi in full view.

Everyone's eyes widened, seeing Ren Guangnian lower his head, frowned, picked up the tea that had just been brewed, and helped Ran Shi clean the tableware again.

...What's the situation?Family rubbish?

At this time, a round man was on the phone while pushing open the door of the private room.The new directors immediately stood up to welcome them.

Director Hou is well-known, came late, and brought a mature film project, which made the film festival organizers and judges praise him, and the new directors who were fighting for venture capital bonuses admired him very much.

He has directed for ten years and produced for ten years. In recent years, more than half of the blockbuster films have had director Hou's participation. He is not only a film veteran praised by the media, but also a favorite of literary youth.

This time Director Hou personally directed the show after ten years, exhausted his efforts, and wanted to put in a lot of effort in the early publicity, and has been running events and relationships non-stop.

Hou Dao's gestures pushed him down, and he continued to make calls until he hung up the call before others dared to surround him to welcome him.

Director Hou waved his hand: "It's too polite, we all work together in the same circle, and now we are participating in the competition together, we can be called peers, right?"

Several directors said yes, Director Hou took turns hooking his shoulders together, and enthusiastically said: "I'm not busy, I still have an appointment, I'll be leaving later."

Someone laughed and said, "Director Hou, you are so merciless."

"How can it be? I came here first, isn't friendship enough?" Director Hou patted the man on the shoulder, "Peer, please introduce me to these people at the table."

They threw away their glasses in a hurry and stood up to let him know someone. Director Hou's eyes followed his arms and stretched out in front of Ran Shi and Ren Guangnian.

Director Hou was surprised, and a mean and prejudiced smile appeared on his face: "...I came to our temple with an order. How did I find out that there is still a great god here? My eyesight is not good."

Ran Shi hadn't tasted some literary taste from Director Hou before he saw the bitterness under his round appearance.Hou Dao and Zheng Qing cherish each other, and highly cited Zheng Qing as his muse of inspiration, so he remembers Ran Shi fondly.

Half of the audience was immersed in Vanity Fair, and half of them were jerky and puzzled.Director Hou sneered at Ran Shi, and Da Dao Jin Ma sat down at the table and enthusiastically joined the topic.

Hearing that they were talking about publicity earlier, Director Hou immediately spoke in a high-spirited tone: "Propaganda is very important, and it's not good to be busy with creation! For example, our film festival has good content and good talents... It's just that the external publicity is not strong enough. It can't attract attention. , it will not attract investment.”

The directors felt ashamed.The propaganda side asked them to cooperate, but they had the right to ignore it, and now they hurriedly posted on Weibo that has been useless for hundreds of years to make up homework.

After they opened Weibo, they were all stunned.

"Hot search at the film festival?!"

******

Director Hou laughed and said firmly, "Impossible!"

"It's really on the hot search!" Several people shook their heads violently, "No. [-] on the hot search list!"

Everyone gathered around to watch, and it really hit a free trending search from the sky.The first three from the bottom are Ran Shi's birthday party yesterday, and the bottom one is Qiu Jian's enthusiasm for public welfare.

And a schedule promotion Weibo posted by the official Weibo of the film festival was reposted tens of thousands in half an hour?

Everyone clicked on the repost and saw it, and immediately realized it.

In order to complete the propaganda task, Ren Guangnian first forwarded a Weibo.Just now Ran Shi followed up with a retweet, and the two immediately went up with tens of millions of traffic.

Not only the director was dumbfounded, but Ran Shi's fans were also dumbfounded. While making up for his brother's repost, they discussed it in private.

"Isn't this the itinerary just announced by the next door? Is it just a friendly publicity?"

"No, no, I heard that he flew to Sichuan Province in the morning, and he still took a business jet."

"Ran Ran seldom even goes through the VIP passage, it's impossible for him to take a business jet! Rumor?"

A fan of Ren Guangnian's family passed by, and quietly interjected: "But my brother often sits..."

The fans instantly understood: "Oh... so they are flying together, excuse me!"

"I vaguely remember that at the birthday party, my brother said that he would take a vacation until Fashion Week. I wonder if there are still more than 20 days left?"

"Hehe, I forgot that the two of them went back and forth during the Fashion Week together. Is the sister who runs the CP station next door still there? I'm here too."

"The comment area that looks familiar... May I ask what the real owner is doing to climb the wall with each other!"

Ran Shi has a wide range of fans, and after the transformation, he has added a group of fans of literary films, which soon sparked a wave of discussions for the film festival.Other fans are also attracted, providing the film festival with a skyrocketing search volume.

"It's the real Director Chen! I have a friend who has always wanted to see you make another movie..."

"In my lifetime, I can still see Lu Dao come back with a new work! Independent films are too small, with almost no publicity, and there are usually no good news channels. Thank you for the promotion of the film festival!"

Pure passers-by were also moved after seeing the hot search.

"There are so many well-known directors and actors in this event? I thought that only when the film festival walks on the red carpet and presents awards can we see them attending collectively."

"This participating lineup is half of my country's film industry, so strong!"

What resonated the most was a simple and passionate cry: "A new film directed by Director Hou himself?! Damn, this film will win three gold medals next year! Sweep Europe! Go for it!"

Most of the directors in the niche circle felt such a high degree of discussion for the first time, and they were very grateful to Ran Shi.Even if they can't get investment at the film festival, they can rely on the current traffic to find capital by themselves, and take advantage of this trend to make good publicity!

Hou Dao, who had been blown up by countless people, had a complicated expression on his face. The traffic falling from the sky was just what he wanted, but it was brought by Ran Shi, and he was shocked.

Many people are still waiting for him to speak.Director Hou said nothing, a pair of chopsticks struck the rim of the bowl first, and the subtle crisp sound attracted everyone's attention.

"Don't eat this dish," Ren Guangnian said calmly, turning his head to look at Ran Shi, "it's too spicy."

Everyone's eyes changed again and again, Hou Dao wiped the hot sweat off his forehead.

You can discuss things carefully, don't show your affection directly!Don’t you know that most directors have bad feelings?

The author has something to say: If you can’t figure out the problem of gift giving, you can ask CP fans (sincerely)
