longest movie [entertainment]

January of the coming year, cold winter.

In this low-key and stern western mountain city, the cold wind is already as sharp as a knife, and people have already put on their thickest coats.

In the west of the most prosperous city, there is an unremarkable office building. Although it is not more luxurious than other high-rise buildings, it is the largest film and television company in the Southwest.

There was a strong wind that day, and the trees in front of the building began to sway violently. The man got out of the car and walked quickly through the gate to the front desk.

"Hello, how can I get to the first reception room?"

"Good morning, sir, please let me know your name first."

"Lin Yao."

The person at the front desk nodded and told him after registration: "Go straight up the stairs from here, it's on the right."

At this time, the building was already very busy, and everyone was in a hurry.When he was about to go upstairs, he bumped into a familiar face unexpectedly.

"Director Zhong?"

The man with a tired face turned his head to look at him, and said in surprise, "Lin Yao! Why are you here?"

"I'm here to find a friend, how about you?"

"I, it's not because of work." Zhong Ming looked him over, "Long time no see, you seem to be in good condition, what are you still doing in Shengye?"

"No, no, I'm old too," Lin Yao smiled, "Yeah, it's still in the same place. By the way, what happened to the previous feature film? I heard it's about to be released, is it true?"

Zhong Ming frowned, narrowed his eyes and said, "It's early, don't mention it, my head hurts when I talk about it."

Zhong Ming's new film, which was completed last year, released a lot of news before it was shot, and during the shooting period, Reuters was indispensable to whet the audience's appetite.However, due to various reasons, the finished film has not been released for a long time, and the industry is hotly discussing this matter.

Of course, the reason why he pays so much attention to and looks forward to this movie is because his friend is one of the leading actors.

Looking at the helpless look of this famous director who has always been arrogant and outrageous, Lin Yao also felt a little bit amused.

The feud caused by the sex scandal at that time seems to have passed away. Today, standing face to face are just two people who are also busy with their lives, old friends who have known each other for many years but rarely contact each other.

"Hey, I'm in a hurry to leave first," the other party waved his hand casually at him, "I'll invite you to watch the movie when it's released, come then!"

"Okay, sure." He smiled.

When he went upstairs to the living room, the person had already arrived one step ahead of him, punctual as always.

The people inside were sitting upright, but when they saw him coming, they stood up quickly.

In just half a year, the once youthful face had completely lost its childishness and became calm and indifferent, but there was still that bright and jumping light in his eyes.

The man was a little excited and said, "Uncle Lin..."

He also walked forward quickly and hugged him heavily: "Long time no see! Xiao Chang."

The tea was poured slowly and placed on the clean table.

Yi Chang sat down, looked carefully at Xiao Lin in front of him, and said, "Uncle Lin, are you busy these days?"

Since the first time he was hospitalized, he and Lin Yao had very little contact with each other. Since the relationship between artist and manager was lost, there was no opportunity for them to communicate with each other.

He didn't want to disturb the other party's life, so he didn't take the initiative to contact him, and Xiao Lin would occasionally ask him how he was doing as an elder.Sometimes he would feel ashamed that when he was almost thirty, his elders had to remind him to pay attention to his health and not to work hard.

When the other party contacted him and said he wanted to meet, he happily agreed. He wanted to go back to Shanghai by himself, but he didn't expect Xiao Lin to come here soon.

"The work is still the same, but there are fewer things to do, let's eat. What about you? How does it feel to work with Youxi?"

"Very good, sister takes good care of me, I don't have any pressure here."

"What kind of work do you do?" Lin Yao smiled, "Shouldn't you be asked to do odd jobs?"

Yi Chang also laughed, and said: "When I first came into contact with screenwriting, I must start from scratch, and now I have been learning new things."

"Haha, you are still the same kid, humble in everything you do," the other party looked around the reception room, "Actually, when you told me that you were going to move here to work, I was quite happy for you, which means you have adjusted Mentality, it’s good to start a new life.”

He took a sip of tea, nodded, and said, "I was a little uncomfortable when I first came here, but it's no longer a problem now. This kind of life is indeed more suitable for me."

Four months ago at night, he made a deal with Rong Tian.

Said it was a deal, but he felt that he was the one who fully benefited.

Rong Tian agreed to help him and his mother move out of Shanghai, and told him that he had already negotiated with Peng Xiwen, and he could then work in the company that Peng Xiwen planned to cooperate with.

When he knew that it was a relatively remote city, his heart was already moved, but his mind was still clear after all, and he directly asked what the other party wanted.

However, Rong Tian just smiled and said that as long as he left, she would never appear in front of Shen Yusheng again.

Other than that, there are no other conditions.

He was speechless.At that moment, he seemed to see himself from the girl.It's just that he had never had such ruthless courage back then.

So he left the hospital overnight and boarded a flight to another city with his mother.

Finally, everything reset to zero and started again.

In this city, there are no crowds, no stale air, and not many people who want to know him.

Of course, no friends either.

The former manager in front of him who had worked hard for him for many years was his only visitor since he came here.

Lin Yao looked at him for a while, sighed lightly, and said, "Actually, I came to you this time, and there is another important matter, about your movie."

"Movies? The two I made last year?"

The other party nodded and said, "Your film "Freedom Fall" with Huo Ling last year was shortlisted for the Berlin Film Festival this time, did you know?"

"..."Free Fall"?"

Yi Chang was stunned, because of the name, it was because of the fact that he was shortlisted.

"The name has been decided? I remember that when I was filming, the name of the film has not been decided."

The other party had a look of expectation, and said: "I knew it, you have never paid attention to it."

"Shortlisted..."

He was still in shock.

His own work was shortlisted for the International A-category Film Festival, and he was affirmed by his favorite social reality themes. He never thought of such an honor.

He asked, "When did this happen?"

"Just yesterday. You changed your contact information after you left. Huo Ling asked me to send you a message if he couldn't find you. Will you attend?"

"..."

Seeing his silence, Lin Yao said, "Are you still thinking about retiring? Your situation is at best fading out, and you haven't officially announced your resignation. There is nothing to worry about. This is a movie you acted in. Being present for the judging is a matter of course."

"Uncle Lin, I understand what you mean, it's just that I promised my mother that I would never appear in public again, and I don't have much confidence in my mental state," he touched his forehead, "and I haven't faced it for too long The lens is very rusty."

"What are you talking about..." The other party reached out and took off his arm covering his face, "I think this is your responsibility as a film creator, and it has nothing to do with whether you retire or not. Just treat it as if you retired , Does attending the activities of previous works mean comeback? Then you think too much. Don't use your mother as a shield. I also got in touch with her during your hospitalization. I know she is not such a rigid person. You can go if you want, I don't think she will restrict you."

The air was quiet for a while.

Yi Chang lowered his head slightly, took another sip from his cup, and asked, "When is the opening?"

"Mid-February. As the main creators, you must arrive before the opening. You just need to know the details with the crew."

"Being shortlisted means that you are already excellent," the other party patted him on the shoulder, showing a gratified smile, "You don't need to think so much, just do what you think. If you want to quit the circle, then take this opportunity With a perfect ending, there will be no more regrets in the future."
