Improv [Rebirth]

Chapter 23 23

Chen Yan's heart sank, and he looked behind Di Hui, and he really saw Qi Andong coming out of the corner carelessly.Qi Andong was taken aback when he saw Chen Yan, then fixed his eyes, and noticed Han Tianzong who was entwined around Chen Yan like an octopus.

Chen Yan hurriedly helped his younger brother up and stood up straight, his mind was full of confusion, he was afraid that Qi Andong would lose his temper with him here and make everyone unable to get off the stage.

Qi Andong didn't say anything, his eyes wandered around Chen Yan, and he nodded to them with a smile. The others didn't feel wrong, only Chen Yan was covered in cold sweat from his laughter.Li Qifeng also ran over excitedly and shook his hand for a while, saying hello, I really like you, and our whole family likes you.

"Is that so?" Qi Andong pulled his hand back without any trace, "It's a great honor."

Di Hui took a glance, and found that Chen Yan was not interested in anyone in the group, and he didn't care anymore, and only cared about flirting with his little wild model.Han Tianzong was so drunk that there were not many people here who knew how to socialize, so Di Hui and the others left after a while.

When parting, Chen Yan kept staring at Qi Andong, but Qi Andong didn't even turn his head, and walked cleanly.

When he got home, Qi Anton didn't return, so he sat on the sofa and waited, hoping to explain a few words to him when he came back.Chen Yan's heart kept beating, flustered, and he didn't know why.

After writing so many scripts, he couldn't even figure out his own thoughts in the end. No wonder Lu Kaiji said that he was an idiot and couldn't write good things.He rubbed his fingers irritably.

Fingertips almost rubbed off a layer of skin before Anton came back. He glanced at Chen Yan and said with a smile, "I haven't slept yet."

Chen Yan shook his head, waiting for him to question himself.

As a result, Qi Andong nodded and said, "Have you taken a bath, let's wash together?"

He acted as if nothing had happened, making Chen Yan's silent rhetoric useless.

He couldn't figure it out, followed Qi Andong to take a bath and go to bed, and the next day he still didn't know what Qi Andong was planning.But he didn't mention it, and Chen Yan couldn't take the initiative to tell him that he and his junior just drank and sang karaoke together, and nothing happened—doesn't this seem like a guilty conscience.

Life is still going on like this, but Chen Yan's uneasiness is getting heavier and heavier.Qi Andong raised him with good food and drink, he was very polite, and he seemed to have lost his temper, but he always felt that Qi Andong was moving away from him, and he would disperse if he stretched out his hand like a fog.

Every day when he turns on the TV, there is Qi Andong's figure, and his news is everywhere on the Internet, and he can't avoid it, and he is desperately looking into his eyes.

"Homecoming" won the award, and Qi Anton won the best actor, which is not surprising.Chen Yan bought wine and prepared a table of dishes for him to celebrate, but he came back early in the morning, smelling of perfume and food.

Qi Andong was taken aback when he saw Chen Yan sitting alone at the dining table, and went to kiss him.

"I'm sorry baby, I didn't know you were waiting for me. After the award ceremony, there will be a dinner party, so I can't get away." He picked up the red wine and shook it at him, "Let's drink it on the bed after taking a shower."

Maybe it was because he was tired of winning awards, he didn't look particularly happy at all, which made Chen Yan feel that his excitement was all self-indulgent.

They drank like an ordinary night, Chen Yan's blessing was like an academic report, Qi Andong thanked them politely, and then they each fell asleep.

Maybe they will always be like this in the future, sharing the same bed with different dreams, each taking what they need, and having nothing to do with each other.

This is the best way to get along with him in his ideal, and now that he is about to realize it, he starts to resist instead, with claws growing in his heart to scratch back and forth.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan stood up suddenly, and the chair under his buttocks was pushed back, making a harsh scratching sound on the floor.He shook the dust on the manuscript paper, and tore open and closed the script he had written for several nights, gnashing his teeth.

What is written here!

The scraps of paper were clutched in his hands, and he couldn't break them no matter how hard he squeezed them. He felt an inexplicable anger in his heart, and with a wave of his hand, the scraps of paper flew all over the room like snow.

What's going on here……

He closed his eyes and gritted his teeth in the sky full of confetti, and his arms and face were scratched by pieces of paper from time to time.

Chen Yan had already begun to suspect that he had other thoughts about Qi Andong. He tried his best to suppress this guess, telling himself over and over again that he was just too obsessed with Qi Anton's care, which was a habit.As soon as it was over, he left him and forgot about him.

After taking a few deep breaths, he finally calmed down. Looking at the confetti covered on the ground, he fell on his back on the bed.

When Lin Xiao called Chen Yan and talked about "See You in a High Building", Chen Yan almost lost hope, so he was very pleasantly surprised when he heard back.

"I read the script, it's pretty good, really, it's just a little tender."

Chen Yan didn't know if the other party was being polite, and said: "Thank you for taking the time to read what I wrote. I didn't expect you to call me in person. I... Actually, I know that the script is not mature, and I also It's been revised."

"Well, but... I can't take pictures of this."

Chen Yan's heart sank, and he reluctantly said in a cheerful tone: "It's okay, I didn't expect you to fall in love with it at first glance, I just hope you can take a look, guide and guide, I still know how much I have."

"It's not because of this. I'm not being polite to you. The script does have potential, but it's not suitable for me."

Doesn't this mean rejection in disguise?

Lin Xiao said again: "I know what you're thinking, you think I just don't like it, don't you? Actually it's not, you know it yourself, not many directors are willing to make it."

Chen Yan nodded: "Yes, it's a little sensitive."

"For so many years, "Farewell My Concubine" has been produced on the two themes of homosexuality and actors. Not to mention me, any other famous director has to think carefully. This is not Hollywood, you know what I mean?"

"I understand that there are still many domestic restrictions, and I understand your concerns."

"It doesn't mean that you have to seal the script. Right now you are a cutting-edge director. Let me introduce someone to you. Maybe you haven't heard of him, but he has great potential, and he must be interested in your script. You Can you see it?"

Chen Yan didn't know whether Lin Xiao just found someone to perfuse him, or if he was really a young director who was carefully selected as he said, but he had no other choice.Even Lin Xiao, who is so polite to him now, is probably looking at Qi Andong's face.

"Of course, you bother, I don't agree with it."

"Then, I sent the script directly to his email address, and I'll text you the contact information later, remember to accept it."

He was very grateful, hung up the phone, and lay on the sofa without knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, a text message came, and he opened it to see that it was really a new director, but Lin Xiao was right about one thing, he knew this director.He looked at the name in the contact column—Hong Zizhen.

When Qi Andong came back at night, Chen Yan told him what happened during the day, saying that Lin Xiao had handed over the script to Hong Zizhen.

"Hong Zizhen? I know him. Don't worry, he is not famous now because he just left school and has no works. It will be different in the future. If he is not popular, no one will be popular. You can only make money if you shoot him."

Qi Andong picked up a grape with his fingers and put it in his mouth, wiped it with a piece of paper, peeled another one and brought it to Chen Yan's mouth.

Chen Yan couldn't help but looked up and scanned the roof to make sure there was no camera before carefully eating the grape.

"I know, and I think he's very talented, too."

"Oh?" Qi Andong leaned on the sofa to look at him, "Have you seen his movies?"

"No, but he participated in the drama festival. When I graduated last year, I also participated. He was the No.1 that time, and the whole school watched the film."

Qi Andong nodded: "I remember, I was still there that time."

He wasn't interested in the things of little brats, he made a special trip to see Chen Yan that time, and to promote his relationship with Chen Yan.

That day he patiently read all the top three works. No.1 is really good, the actors and post-production are all professionals, comparing it with other entries is like having track and field Olympians compete with college students. The script of No.2 is not bad, Chen Yan's book, but the director is bad, and the actors are no different from those pulled from the street.

Last time he told Lin Xiao that after reading Chen Yan's works, he really didn't make them up out of thin air.He had really watched Chen Yan's play and saw that he was a bit spiritual, so he had the confidence to let go.

It was also after exchanging feelings with Chen Yan that he knew the name of the gold award director by the way, which is Hong Zizhen.

Later, Hong Zizhen graduated, and won the Newcomer Award for her graduation work.Then he climbed to the sky in one step and completed the journey of other directing students for ten years-becoming the director of a serious film.

He had just finished filming his debut work after leaving school not long ago, with top-notch configurations. Except for himself and the two leading actors, the other production staff have all won the Peony Award, and some have won it more than once.

The Peony Award is known as the domestic Oscar, and everyone in Hong Zizhen's team can tell that they are going for the best director.

"Hong Zizhen is talented, but that's not what I'm talking about," Qi Andong said, "Do you know who his father is?"

Chen Yan shook his head. He didn't know much about the affairs in the circle, and he also suffered from this big loss in his previous life.

"Hong Youwei, the boss of Hongda Group."

Seeing that Chen Yan was still a little dazed, he sighed: "You know Di Hui, right? Di Shi is old enough to make a fortune in the film and television industry, but Di Shi is still no match for Hong Da."

Qi Andong went on to say: "Di's family started in the pornography industry. It developed from a chain 'service industry' to shooting tertiary films, and then it became bigger. The domestic film and television industry is a big cake. Di Hui's father Di Yunwu saw It was only when it was profitable that Hongda stepped into the film industry. Hongda is different, Hongda has been a film company from the beginning, and then branched out, setting up many subsidiaries in the TV, audio, and game industries.”

He stretched out his hand to draw a circle on the coffee table, and drew an arrow pointing in the circle from the outside: "If Dishi is a nouveau riche raised by foreign capital and supported by money, Hong Da is a native son who has led the nobles for generations. As a last resort, the land was assigned to Di Shi."

Chen Yan finally understood why Qi Andong was so sure that Hong Zizhen would succeed, and he was a little worried: "Then I work here with Di Hui, Hong Zizhen will take my job?"

"You screenwriters are not actors. You follow one today and another tomorrow. There is nothing to worry about. If you get good grades, Hong Zizhen will let you go to Hongda with him in a short time."

He nodded, agreeing with Qi Andong's statement.He has a wider network than himself, and Chen Yan has also discovered that he has been involved in other fields after being with him for so long, not limited to being an actor.He still doesn't know Qi Andong's other careers, but at least he can't go wrong.

"Anyway, I don't want to follow Di Hui." Chen Yan stared at Qi Andong, wanting to see his reaction to this sentence.

Qi Andong didn't respond at all: "It's good to have the opportunity to develop in Hongda. Di Hui has no other pursuit at all, only money. And..."

He wanted to say that since Di Shi hadn't stepped out of the gray area yet, something would happen sooner or later.After thinking about it, Chen Yan didn't need to know this, so he stopped talking.

"I think it would be good if Hong Zizhen accepted it. The play he directed in the last drama festival was amazing."

"Really?" Qi Andong looked at him, the corners of his eyes raised, "I think your script is pretty good."

"Do you still remember?" Chen Yan's heart skipped a beat, a little happy.

"After all, I missed you at that time."

He bit the word "up" very hard, with a half-smile, which made Chen Yangang's lively heart go silent again.

He couldn't make up his mind whether Qi Andong was going to just keep pretending to be like this with him.
