Improv [Rebirth]

"Are you okay?" Li Qifeng looked at Chen Yan's red eyes.

"Did you buy the ticket?"

"I bought it, three of them, Tian Zong said he would come later."

Chen Yan nodded, holding the popcorn bought by Li Qifeng and sitting on the bench in a daze.

Li Qifeng thought he was affected by the box office, and comforted him: "Don't be discouraged, think about it, those who graduated with you are still struggling to write TV dramas and get paid for each episode. It is already very good for you to have movies on the theaters." A high starting point."

"Once you use an opportunity, you lose it once. If you fail once, everyone will guard against you and dare not use you. It's better to start from scratch." He smiled wryly and shook his head.

"At least you have experience! You still have talent. Unlike me, I feel ashamed when I'm with you every day, and I feel that I will never make it."

Chen Yan tilted his head to look, and Li Qifeng's eyes were sincere, without any falsehood.

In the past few months, he got closer to Li Qifeng, but found that the other party was not as domineering as he thought.Li Qifeng is a very simple person, or rather silly.He was well protected since he was a child, and he has never seen any dirty things. He likes to write, and he also likes people who write well.He used to like Han Tianzong, but now he has added Chen Yan.

He was like the kind and clean student that anyone would meet in their school days, who would rush to scold him when he saw dirty behavior.Chen Yan felt guilty for plotting against him, but it was absolutely impossible to make him forget the past.

Han Tianzong came out from the elevator and greeted them from a distance.

While getting to know Li Qifeng, he also got to know his junior brother again.Once he walked out of the campus and went to the business field, his junior brother could socialize better than anyone else.

"Brother, I know what you mean. People have to be a little bit persistent, right? But mass art is determined by the market, not artists. We don't have the ability to change the tide. Only by going with the flow can our things be seen ,is recognized."

"Having said that, it is also our professional content to cater to people's preferences."

Only then did he finally believe that his junior was really only writing for readers and audiences, and that the indomitable and lonely junior he liked before was just wishful thinking.

"I thought you never cared about readers and audiences." He said to Han Tianzong with a smile.

"Wrong," Han Tianzong waved his hands again and again, "There is no author who doesn't want readers. If anyone seems to care, it's because they have passed the time to show fanaticism on their faces."

Chen Yan came back to his senses, Han Tianzong had already walked in front of them, and the ticket gates had begun to check tickets, and there were very few people in line.

They walked into the cinema and watched Chen Yan's first play in the dark.

"It's not your fault," Han Tianzong said in a low voice, "It doesn't fit the market well."

"It's not my fault?" Chen Yan smiled, "Don't help me shirk responsibility."

"I don't think there is any problem with the conflict between the characters in the plot, right?" Li Qifeng leaned forward to talk to them.

"Of course not, this was written by my senior brother." Han Tianzong snapped.

A girl in front turned her head and glared at them, telling them not to speak, and the three quickly apologized and kept silent.

After watching the movie, I went to eat supper, and I kept persuading him again and again.Both of them are screenwriters, and they can comfort people with ideas, which finally made Chen Yan sulk.

When he went home at night, Qi Andong was not there, the ground was a mess, and he knew someone had lost his temper at a glance.Chen Yan expressionlessly kicked away the pillow blocking the way, clearing a way for himself to go to the bathroom.

There was no sound at home, he was lying on the bed, the flash of the laptop charging flickered on and off in the dark.The box office of the movie is not good, the opening of the door is not good, Qi Andong is making trouble for no reason, and his temper is too bad.Everything went wrong, but Chen Yan lost the desire to vent.

Maybe it was because I was too tired to hold back a few days ago, and I am numb today.

Arguing with Qi Andong at night, going out, eating, and going home, I was exhausted all the time, my mind was paralyzed from exhaustion, but sleepiness did not come to him for a long time.He stared blankly, thinking about his situation, as if he was thinking about strangers.Reason told him that the road was over and he should be sad, but he couldn't feel sad no matter what.

Instead of panicking over failure, he began to feel a slow and heavy fear because of his state.Fear was like a drop of ink dripping into a water glass, slowly staining his whole being.

How can a person without emotional touch be a screenwriter?What's the value of a screenwriter who can't write bitter tastes?

He panicked, but he was still not sad. This kind of indifference made him even more afraid, which became a vicious circle.Silence, anxiety, diving into the deep sea and losing direction is nothing more than that.

And Qi Andong is at Min Rufeng's house, peeling candy for Min Rufeng's daughter Yanyan.The candy wrapper is golden, and when it is unfolded, a chubby white chocolate rolls out.

"Does your father allow you to eat it? Don't lie to me." The candy wrappers were thrown down one by one, and a small mountain was quickly piled up in the trash can.

"I won't lie to you, I just got the honest little red flower a few days ago."

The little girl was doing her homework on the table, staring at the candy in his hand as soon as she wrote two words.

"You can't eat too much, you have to go to the doctor if your teeth are decayed. Pull your teeth, do you know?" He gestured the length of a chopstick with his hand, "holding such long pliers and sticking them into your mouth, There are also scissors, which cut your gums and pull out your teeth, just like you pull out the roots of a tree. Finally, they will be sewed on for you.”

"Sew it up?" Yan Yan spat out half of the candy she had swallowed, "How to sew it up?"

"Just like your mother sews, poking with a needle."

The little girl was silent for a while, put down a pencil and picked it up again, and finally spit the chocolate in her mouth into the trash can.

"Hey, why did you throw up? I'm still peeling here, and... Let me see, there are still five or six chocolates, don't you want to eat them?" Qi Andong held the five or six chocolates and handed them to Yanyan.

"No, no, don't eat, don't eat." The little girl waved her hands repeatedly.

She was facing homework and was not in the mood to write. After a long time, she raised her head: "Uncle Qi, I think my tooth hurts a little, is it going to break?"

Qi Andong laughed heartily, with a worried look on his face: "Oh, what can I do, I can't even eat sugar?"

"Maybe I can't eat anymore..." The child curled his mouth, tears were about to fall from the pain.

"What's the matter?" Min Rufeng came over and put a bowl of noodles on the table, "What did you tell her again?"

Before Qi Andong could speak, Min Rufeng lowered his head and saw the candy wrappers piled up in the trash can, and became furious.

"Min Yan! You eat candy again! How many times have I told you that you are not allowed to eat candy at night!"

"It's not me, it's not me, it's not me!" Min Yan waved her hand quickly, pointing at Qi Andong, "He gave me something to eat."

The little face collapsed again: "I think my teeth are broken."

"Ah? Broken tooth?" Min Rufeng was anxious, and stepped forward to lift his daughter's chin, "Open your mouth."

"what--"

He looked at it for a long time, but couldn't find anything: "It doesn't seem to be broken...Tomorrow Saturday, I just took you to see a doctor."

He turned his head and asked Qi Andong again: "What happened to you and came to me for medical treatment?"

Qi Andong looked at him innocently.

"I said you are like a little bee, you are kicked out by your wife as soon as you mate, and you are kicked out by your wife as soon as you mate."

"Shit," Qi Andong said calmly, "I came out by myself."

He added: "Not mated/mated."

Min Rufeng laughed three times: "Then you were eliminated by the female bee!"

He rolled his eyes: "Your daughter is still here, can you shut up?"

"Ahem," Min Rufeng finally remembered his daughter, and patted the person on the back, "Go, do your homework in the room."

Min Yan ran into the room with a bag full of homework. Qi Andong looked at her thin back with distress: "Why do children have so much homework now? There is no freedom at all."

"Otherwise, she will be illiterate like her father and her uncle."

"I'm not illiterate, so don't hurt innocent people by speaking."

"Yes, yes, then why did you come to me?"

"It's boring to stay at home. It's deserted and uninteresting alone."

"Where's your little lover?"

"Going to the movies."

"I didn't call you when I was watching a movie. This is going to be exposed to the house! You don't care, and you still run outside."

"Don't mention him, it's annoying." Qi Andong finished eating the noodles with a sigh of relief.

Wang Xinyi came out of the kitchen to collect the bowls, Min Rufeng hurriedly stood up and grabbed her work: "Let me collect it."

Qi Andong also made trouble with the past: "Yes sister-in-law, you are not in good health, rest more, let Ah Feng do these things."

"You are ashamed to say," Min Rufeng glared at him, "No one will wash what they eat."

"Ah Feng, how do you talk to people?" Wang Xinyi slapped his arm.

Qi Andong giggled beside him.

"By the way, Han Xing called me again." Min Rufeng sat beside him after washing the dishes.

"what?"

"It's still the same thing, I want to meet you."

"I don't understand," Qi Andong picked up the candy that Yan Yan had just peeled and ate one, "I'm not on the same path with him at all, well water doesn't cross river water, why does he want to get in touch with me so much?"

"Hey, I really know that. He's telling the truth today, and he always said he had no intentions before."

"Who would believe it?" Qi Andong snorted, and stuffed another candy into his mouth, "They are all like human beings, and they go to the Three Treasures Palace for everything. He didn't think about getting to know me for so many years, and suddenly he kept showing his favor. , it’s no wonder there’s no plot.”

"Yeah, treat us like fools."

"He wants to get involved in the film industry? You just say that I can't do it, let him clean himself first."

"That's not true. Speaking of it, I can understand him quite well. I have pity for the parents of the world."

"what?"

"His son wants to learn art. He thought it was just for fun, but now the young man seems to be determined to make movies. He can't beat him, and his son can't kill him. The child has worked hard and refused. If you ask him for help, you don't even need the money delivered to your door, and if you want to miss you, come to me to help build a bridge."

"Oh, well, I don't mind multiple paths. What's his son's name?"

Qi Andong ate all the chocolate on the plate without knowing it, and smacked his lips: "It's really delicious, no wonder Yanyan always asks me to buy it for her."

"Yeah, kids like this. Last time her classmate came over, she ate three boxes in one afternoon." Min Rufeng lowered his head and flipped through his phone, "Wait, I forgot the name, I'll check the text message."

"Well. Hey, I bought this candy last time. Is there any unopened candy?"

"In the cabinet, find it yourself."

Qi Andong got up and took out a box of candy and took it in his hand. Min Rufeng looked at him in disbelief.

"The landlord still grabs food from me?"

The bedroom door was opened a crack, Yanyan poked her head out: "Take them all away! I don't like to eat them!"

"Go back!" Min Rufeng said to her.

"Hey, here it is." He handed the phone to Qi Andong.

Qi Andong glanced at it, his face was as cold as ice.

"Han Tianzong?!"
