Happy Life [Rebirth]

Chapter 74 The Crew

I can’t figure out what’s wrong with this ending. Although it’s a tragic ending in essence, Angie’s setting is terminally ill. It’s a failure to deliberately recover from illness for the sake of a happy reunion. This is the best ending I can think of.

Now someone commented that the ending is a failure at the end of this sentence. After all, this is my work. I still have some anger, not serious, but I don't think he has the qualifications to judge.

It was night when I wrote the ending. When the last word fell, I sat still for a long time. I looked at that sentence, and she finally understood with this world.At that moment, what I thought of was indeed myself, and at that moment, I seemed to have really seen the life of a girl named Angie.She was born in a well-to-do family with no worries about food and clothing. She is one of the most common girls in the world. When she smiles, she is bright and bright, and when she cries, she is sad. Her every move is an ordinary and ordinary girl.It wasn't until the age of 17 that a terminal illness was detected after a faint. The remaining life of three months destroyed the mind of an ordinary person. There was a cynical Angel in this world. She would never be sad or happy again. She would only Anger, endless anger, it was she who was angry about why she had to die.

Who said death is peaceful?Death is never peaceful, it is the case with An Qi, and it is the same with me who died in the previous life.I am very angry, I am very angry that I am so close to my happiness that I died.How to forgive such a thing as death?It is simply impossible to understand.

But because I couldn't forgive, I had no choice but to accept it, and because I could only accept it, it seemed that I had forgiven.

I took a deep breath, I wanted to ask He Mingjie why you questioned the ending, but now I hesitated, because I knew the ending was a lie.Because An Qi is dead, who knows if a dead person will forgive his fate?The dead can't speak.

I'm not sure about the connotation of He Mingjie's comment, but it can be seen that he doesn't like the ending. At this time, He Mingjie, who had been lying there writing, stood up. After standing up, he took out his mobile phone and dialed the phone in his hand. Back and forth, I looked at this person, and I understood that this person could indeed be called a "weird".

He Mingjie dialed his cell phone, he twitched his legs back and forth, and said, "Why sleep in the sun? What I want is such bright sunshine, 10 minutes! Everyone will be here for me within 10 minutes, and Zhang Meilin is taking a nap. What a fart for a nap, I'm going to be there in person, she's a nap!"

He Mingjie walked all the way to me, he looked down at me, I sat on the bed and looked up at him, this man had a pair of dark circles on his pale face, He Mingjie said: "In 10 minutes, everyone It's all here for me."

He Mingjie hung up the phone and looked at me: "Director Yang, I want you to rewrite the ending, can you finish it in these two days?"

Using other people's money to do things for others, I nodded, and then I asked He Mingjie: "Director He, what kind of ending do you want?"

After I asked this sentence, I didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He was not satisfied with the ending, so I asked him what kind of ending he wanted.But when I finished asking, I saw He Mingjie rolled his eyes at me, a big man of 1.9 meters made this expression, and my first reaction was that this man is enough...true temperament.

He Mingjie rolled his eyes, he looked at me very dissatisfied, and said his words confidently: "How do I know what the ending will be like? If I knew, why would I ask you to be on the set."

These words didn't make any sense at all, I asked He Mingjie patiently: "But is the ending of the original book not good? I think the original ending is pretty good. Where do you think the ending is—"

"That ending is a fart!"

He Mingjie said, I paused while I was speaking, and I felt insulted by what he said. I took a deep breath and continued to say to He Mingjie: "If you feel bad, don't say that."

"That kind of ending—" He Mingjie sneered very disdainfully, he started to walk around the room quickly with his hands behind his back, I watched him walking like this, talking loudly, "Oh, forgive this world, oh , a typical ending that is both educational and entertaining, hello, hello, everyone, even the dead are fine, the ending of this kind of rotten street is really a happy world in the world—what’s so good about this kind of ending?”

He Mingjie stopped, like a dog chasing his tail in circles and finally realized that it was his tail. He Mingjie stared at me, and he licked his lips: "Have you ever died? Have you ever seen a dying person? Kid, I have seen, I have seen many dying people, without exception, they are all expressing an emotion - I don't want to die, let me tell you, death is not a beautiful thing, you don't want to write so serenely. "

"It's disgusting."

He Mingjie said this, he rubbed his arms, started chopping his feet again, and yelled at me: "Look, I'm so disgusted that I have goosebumps."

I rubbed my arms by mistake, and I got up too. I reached for the remote control of the air conditioner on the bedside table, turned off the air conditioner, and told He Mingjie: "Director He, you get goosebumps because you are so cold." No. Are you disgusted by the ending I wrote...

"I'll try to write a new one." I didn't argue anymore. When I came, Li Yuan told me that the director of the crew was the biggest name, and he would not change what he decided. Unless I broke the contract, there was no use in arguing.

But when He Mingjie and He Mingjie left the room, I still couldn't hold back, I said to He Mingjie: "I know what death is like."

When He Mingjie heard this, he stopped and held my shoulders with both hands. I am not short anymore, I am already taller than children of the same age, but compared to He Mingjie who is about 1.9 meters tall, I am still a short man , I was held by his shoulders, and he leaned over to look into my eyes again.

I now fully understand why the previous screenwriter left happily. Who wants to be in the same room with such a person, because no one knows what kind of weird behavior he will make in the next moment.

"Director He." I lowered my eyelids, I didn't want to meet his eyes at all.

He Mingjie let go of his hands, put his hands in his pockets, shook his head, and said, "Oh."

I don't know what this "oh" is answering. When I reached the white corridor, I squinted my eyes. It was 01:30 at noon. Here, there is immediately a contrasting heat wave.

Wei Xinli was distributing a stack of sun hats to everyone, everyone's faces were dull, and there were two more men sharing fans. He Mingjie and I came over, and Wei Xinli ran over, and she handed over hats and fans , I took it over and took a look, and the fan was printed with "Welcome to Maria Sanatorium", and on the other side it was "City Senior Private Hospital Specializing in Treating Various Difficult and Miscellaneous Diseases".

Around He Mingjie's hat, he complained: "Why are you so dry?"

"You picked this time to shoot." Wei Xinli's tone was very bad.

I also put on a hat, because it was really sunny, there was a little shaded place in the corridor, there were a few people standing or sitting there, a tall and thin boy was sitting there fanning, he just took a look here Stand up and trot over.

When this boy stood in front of He Mingjie, I found that he was a head taller than me, about 1.8 meters tall, thin and tall, his skin was very white but also pale, and he felt a little weak, but he had a very good one The face is a very delicate and clean appearance.

The moment I saw his face, there was a feeling in my heart.I thought, yes, this boy must be Jian Yan, the blind boy that An Qi met in the book for the first time in the hospital.He is weak, thin and tall, he can't see, but he has a clean temperament and a handsome appearance. He also suffers from diseases, but he is kind and beautiful.

In fact, the publication draft of "To Angel" is quite different from the first draft. In the first draft, Angel is still called Shi Xi, and Jian Yan's character design is also very thin, but when the person who played Jian Yan appeared in front of me, I was surprised, as if this person All of a sudden, he came to me from the book, and I saw that his eyeballs were also very pale.

This is exactly the description of Jian Yan's appearance in the book. At this moment, I looked at He Mingjie again. I admire him very much. Not to mention anything else, it is amazing that he can find someone who is so close to the original book.

"Director He." The boy in front of him smiled, and I found that his smile was very clean, very warm in terms of literature and art, and his eyes were pure and clear.

"Oh, Lin Yi." He Mingjie held the fan in his hand, and the fan turned to Maria Sanatorium and the senior private hospital in the city. He fanned himself back and forth, and Lin Yi looked at me again, "Is this...?"

"Director Yang. Our crew has a new screenwriter." He Mingjie looked at Lin Yi with a smile. I saw that he looked at Lin Yi very kindly, with a tolerant look in his eyes.

"Hello, Director Yang." Lin Yi showed a little surprised expression, but soon he smiled at me with his eyes bent, "I am Lin Yi who plays Jian Yan."

"I'm Yang Lu." I said to him.

Wei Xinli added at this time, she told Lin Yi, "Yang Lu is also the original author of the novel."

Lin Yi's expression was a little surprised this time, he praised me: "It's really amazing, you look so young."

Wei Xinli said proudly, "Director Yang is only 13 years old."

Lin Yi: "It's really amazing. I didn't know anything when I was 13 years old."

I was listening, feeling a little embarrassed that this kind of exaggeration was not based on my own real ability. I really didn’t have this ability when I was 13 years old. When I heard Lin Yi and Wei Xinli talking like they were talking to each other like this, I felt that at this time It's really embarrassing.

The two of them said a few words back and forth around me, and then two more people came over, one of them was Jim, he was a proud man at noon, and now he was followed by a man wearing a light blue dress and shawl hair. The woman walked over, and now this man is particularly suitable to be described as a dog leg.

I don't intend to belittle him, but Jim is facing He Mingjie now, with a flattering and flattering expression on his face. The woman he followed stood in front of Lin Yi, but this woman still glanced at me, but from coming to standing Here, Wei Xinli and Lin Yi are completely indifferent to Wei Xinli and Lin Yi, as if these two people are a piece of air, two transparent people.

Lin Yi and Wei Xinli both shouted "Sister Meilin".

I knew it was Zhang Meilin, the person who played Angel. When I looked up at her for the first time, her appearance barely fit. Looking carefully, she should be about 20 years old. She is not as fresh and tender as a 17-year-old girl, but her face is pretty. She has a baby face, not an absolute beauty, but at first glance she really looks like a schoolgirl.

But I couldn't look into her eyes carefully. I saw her glance at me, and what was clearly conveyed in her eyes was evaluation.I have seen this kind of eyes many times in the business field. When doing business, businessmen always have a pair of piercing eyes. Use these eyes to see your clothes and your temperament, and try your best to judge what class you are. people.

When Zhang Meilin looked at me, she had this kind of feeling, but she was more revealing. She smiled at He Mingjie, her smile was sweet, and her voice when she called He Mingjie was also very sweet: "Director He."

Then she asked He Mingjie: "Is this kid a relative of Director He? Or... a young actor that Director He recruited?"

I think her question is very interesting. From the time I came to the crew to now, she is the only person I have met who asked this question. He Mingjie replied impatiently: "Director Yang, the new screenwriter on the crew."

"Okay, is everyone here?"

He Mingjie turned to ask Wei Xinli, Zhang Meilin looked at me, her face was distorted for a moment, it was an angry expression, at this moment I naively thought, He Mingjie was right to cast Zhang Meilin to play Angel, Because I saw her anger, which is very similar to Angie, it is a kind of anger that is unwilling to accept the world and her own destiny.

When the filming started, another half an hour passed. He Mingjie and I hid in the shadows, but the other photographers and other staff had to stand in the sun, and many of them were sweating profusely within a few minutes.

In the scene, Lin Yi was wearing a white shirt and jeans, wearing an apron and sitting in the shadow of the corridor reading a Braille book, Zhang Meilin changed into a hospital gown with a wide blue banner, and He Mingjie and I stood together, He Mingjie stared at the camera, I Just stand aside and watch.

I found that Zhang Meilin's face looked much tenderer and paler. I thought the makeup was amazing, and the hospital gown she was wearing was so big that it looked like she was dangling in the hospital gown. She was like this Coming from far down the corridor, it made her look like a wandering ghost.

I don't know acting skills, but I think Zhang Meilin has that kind of feeling, a feeling of hopelessness and despair.

He Mingjie filmed for a while, called the card several times, passed twice, that is, two scenes, and then he stopped filming and asked another middle-aged man to come over to look at the camera. That man was Zhang Chengjian, an assistant director, and neither did Zhang Meilin. After filming, she said she was tired, so the assistant director filmed Lin Yi.

He Mingjie called me aside, tore a piece of paper and handed me a pen. I was puzzled, but He Mingjie said again: "Let's write in the corridor, try to write better."

"...What to write?" I was really at a loss.

"In the end, I want to shoot the scene where Meilin and Lin Yi quarrel after watching the children with leukemia."

After He Mingjie finished speaking, I quickly thought that this scene in the book was mentioned in one stroke, there was no dialogue, so I looked at He Mingjie: "Do you want to expand this scene?"

"I want to shoot this scene." He Mingjie said to me, "Just now I was filming and suddenly felt that this scene should be filmed. Why didn't you write it when you wrote it?"

I'm really speechless: "..."

"Let's write now." He Mingjie showed a generous face that he didn't care about you, and pointed to the part of the corridor where people can sit, "The conditions are difficult, thank you for your hard work."

After finishing speaking, He Mingjie squatted down by himself, like a primary school student, and started writing in his notebook.

I have never been to other film crews, but I think other crews are definitely not like this. Is the script written so casually? Isn't there a script first and then a movie?

But the director squatted there by setting an example, and I have no complaints. At noon in August, under the sun, I squatted in the shadow. I didn’t start writing immediately like He Mingjie. Only then slowly wrote down the dialogue between An Qi and Jian Yan.

Later, the sweat dripped onto the paper, He Mingjie stood up and started chopping his feet again. He didn't make a sound, but when he did, he asked me, "Haven't you finished writing?"

I just stopped writing and handed the paper to He Mingjie. He Mingjie held it and stood there watching. He shouted: "Zhang Meilin, Jian Yan, come and memorize the lines."

I was really stunned, the words written on that piece of paper were not too small, there was a long question from An Qi, why did He Mingjie adopt it like this?Is that how he... makes movies?

I jumped down from the seat in the corridor and followed, and saw Jianyan taking a picture of the lines on the paper with her mobile phone, and then Zhang Meilin took the paper, Zhang Meilin stared at the A4 lined paper that was still a little crumpled, she said : "Too many lines."

He Mingjie said, "I'll give you 10 minutes to memorize it."

Briefly said: "Okay, Director He."

Zhang Meilin yelled: "He can do it but I can't. His lines are only a few lines, and mine is more than half a sheet. And it's handwritten, I can't read it clearly!"

I have already walked to He Mingjie's side, and I am a little embarrassed to hear Zhang Meilin say this. In fact, my handwriting has been neatly written, but the sweat has fallen on the paper, and the paper is a little wrinkled. It is true that this paper looks a little ugly beautiful.

"I can stand by your side." I said to Zhang Meilin, "If you don't understand a word, you can point it out."

I said this, but I didn’t receive a thank you. In exchange, Zhang Meilin gave me a look, and she said to me in disgust: “You will affect my recitation of lines.”

I looked at her and thought this expression was really nice, exactly the same as that cynical Angie.

I thought this way, and there was a person next to me who thought of something, He Mingjie said: "This look is good, I said Zhang Meilin, how good you played with this look in the previous scene, it must be once."

Zhang Meilin's attitude towards He Mingjie was much better, she was taken aback for a moment, then smiled: "What look?"

"It's just the look in your eyes just now." He Mingjie said excitedly, "The look in your eyes when you looked at Writer Yang just now is really vicious, you don't look at him like looking at an unrelated person, you look at his eyes as if he stole yours. Something, you hate him, you are not satisfied with him, and at the same time look down on this person, think that this kind of person knows something, think that everyone owes you, why is this world so unfair—”

"Director He!" Zhang Meilin shouted.

But He Mingjie had already spoken a long paragraph very fast under excitement, and Wei Xinli, who came over, covered her mouth, but she smiled when she looked at her eyes, and Lin Yi ran away quickly with her mobile phone, saying: "I Go recite the lines."

I stood here without saying a word, Jim came out, waved his hands, and looked at He Mingjie as if complaining: "Director He, how can you say that about us Merrill Lynch, you don't have the ability to talk like this."

Jim said to Zhang Meilin again: "Meilin, Director He is lecturing, why are you angry?"

Zhang Meilin took a breath, her chest puffed up and then calmed down, Zhang Meilin smiled, and she said to He Mingjie: "You are too involved in the drama, I didn't realize it."

He Mingjie looked puzzled: "I didn't talk about drama."

Jim said, "You're telling a show."

Wei Xinli also put down her hand, and she winked at Zhang Meilin: "Sister Meilin, go and memorize the lines quickly, let screenwriter Yang follow?"

"No need." Zhang Meilin raised the paper in her hand, "I can read."

This time she turned around and left as if running away. Jim glanced at me and said to me: "Director Yang, I'm sorry, sister Meilin is too straightforward, you won't take it easy?"

When he said this to me, there was no hint of apology in his tone. I nodded, and Jim showed a satisfied smile, turned and followed Zhang Meilin to leave here.

He Mingjie scratched his head, he looked at Wei Xinli and me, He Mingjie asked both of us: "I'm really not talking about drama. I'm telling the truth."

"Director He..." Wei Xinli laughed out loud, "Didn't you see that, Sister Meilin, Sister Meilin's face is so stinky, her eyes almost turned into knives just now gone."

When Wei Xinli said this, she suddenly covered her mouth. She looked at me and then at He Mingjie. Wei Xinli said mischievously, "Oh, Director He, Yang Lu, please don't tell me what I just said. Zhang Meilin."

I nodded, "I don't know her well."

At the same time, I thought, this crew is really not calm, it seems that there are not many people, but the director with strange personality, Zhang Meilin with a big temper, Wei Xinli with smooth left and right, Li Yuan with decisiveness and straightforwardness, and Jim who is too philistine.

This is completely different from my rebirth. For so many years, I have nothing more than a two-point and one-line life at home and school. There is no such thing in school, let alone at home. Now facing these people in the film crew, I feel a long-lost image. Formally, the human society in this world is the essence of being implicated by interests.

Where there are people is the rivers and lakes. I sat under the corridor, Lin Yi and Zhang Meilin recited the lines, and the rest of the staff could rest. He Mingjie sat next to me, holding his big notebook in his mind, sometimes angry, sometimes sad Say your lines.

I took out my mobile phone and looked at it for a long time. There was neither a missed call nor a text message. I felt a little lost, but soon I also thought about how long I had been away. It has only been four years since I left home. five hours.I put away my phone and thought, Yang Lu, don’t be like this, you are no longer a child, this is just entering the society ahead of time, besides, you were not used to this kind of life long ago, such a circle with complicated human relationships and different personalities .
