Improv [Rebirth]

After Shan Yu left, Qi Andong entered the room, and Chen Yan stared at him with dark eyes, not as clear as before.

"I didn't sell your information to anyone else," he said quietly.

Qi Andong's heart tightened, and he quickly said, "I know, I know, I was an idiot once."

"What did you do to Shan Yu?"

"No," he was stunned for a moment, picking words to make himself more innocent, "Hong Youwei thought that I had a problem with him, and I didn't do anything."

Chen Yan nodded: "You didn't explain to them, you didn't associate with Shan Yu, you avoided him everywhere, you didn't do anything, it means you did everything."

Qi Andong thought that if Chen Yan wanted to speak up for Shan Yu, he would at least blame him for being a sinner, but Chen Yan didn't say anything. Instead, he felt that Chen Yan had changed a little bit, and walked towards an unpredictable place.

He wasn't the passive type who waited in place. He walked up behind Chen Yan and surrounded him, saying, "If you think I'm doing something wrong, just say it. I won't be angry."

Chen Yan shook his head: "There is nothing wrong with you."

When Qi Andong heard this sentence, he was determined to make it easier for him to deal with, so that Chen Yan felt that there was nothing they could not discuss.No one wants to spend their whole life with a smelly and hard stone.

He followed Chen Yan in everything, perhaps because he had never made such a change before, so he overcorrected and gradually approached a doting father. He not only wanted to take the responsibility of taking care of Chen Yan's life, but also wanted to give him a lot of life. outside of fun.

It's like since he heard that there will be a total lunar eclipse tonight, he has been empty and must spend it at home.

Chen Yan watched him busy moving tables and chairs, and couldn't help feeling wronged by him, and said, "There are deck chairs on the balcony."

"Not enough." Qi Andong rolled up his sleeves, wishing he could move the whole living room to the balcony. "There are takeaway meals in the kitchen. Are you hungry? Eat first when you are hungry."

When everything was ready and they were sitting on the balcony in the twilight, Qi Andong felt that he had made a mistake. He had placed too many chairs and they were too far away. He should have listened to Chen Yan and just left that small reclining chair.

It was not dark yet, and the meal had not yet arrived. Seeing Qi Anton's earnest waiting, Chen Yan remembered his childhood.He used to be very keen on these celestial phenomena. When he heard that there was a meteor shower in the early morning, he slipped out and climbed to the high ground to wait. After waiting several times like this, he realized that he could not see the meteor shower outside his house, he had to go to the mountains in the suburbs.

The moon has to show its head first, and then it has an eclipse.

A bright moon hangs high in the sky.

Qi Andong was impatient to sit here again, he simply lost his chair, most of the time he didn't have a seat, and he wanted to squeeze to Chen Yan's.

There are two people sitting on a recliner with a width of one person, so each person can only occupy half of the body, and the remaining half overlaps.

Qi Andong got bored after watching it for a while, and felt that there was really nothing to see. A moon can never change into flowers, and there are no exciting and drastic changes. It is not as interesting as Chen Yan.

He turned his head slightly, and saw Chen Yan staring at the fading moon, pointing his index finger under the tip of his chin, and ticking it upwards.

"Looking at the moon, what are you thinking?" he asked.

"I can't think of anything," Chen Yan replied honestly, "A few days ago, I always felt that I had a lot of inspiration and a lot of things to write, but in the past two days, I suddenly couldn't remember them all."

Qi Andong's heart skipped a beat, he was afraid that his talent in writing had to be filled in by his mind, and when he was mentally complete, his tentacles in literature were broken.

He easily thought of this section, fearing that Chen Yan would also think of it, so he teased and said: "The ancients were full of poetry when they saw the moon. Don't you want to write a poem too?"

"I can't write it," Chen Yan said, "They have too many fantasies and sustenances about the moon, because they don't know what the moon is. When I see the moon, I think of the uneven surface and one-sixth gravity. , thinking of... thinking of Armstrong."

He tilted his head: "Armstrong is worth writing about, he belongs to a typical motif."

Qi Andong stopped talking, he was okay with talking about romantic dramas, even if he was given a solid script, he would not know what to do with it if it was so rambling and without a theme.

Chen Yan sighed: "The more I know, the more restrained I will be when writing. The teacher asked me to observe others, but the more I observe, the more I can't write, because I know that what I originally wanted to write is unreasonable. I must Follow the inner logic to create, under these shackles, I become constrained."

The meaning of this sentence coincided with Qi Andong's conjecture just now. Seeing that Chen Yan was talking in a low voice, he was busy thinking of new words.

This thought really reminded him of something, he let out an "ah", stood up from the recliner, went to the room and took out a box and handed it to Chen Yan.

When the box was opened, there was a familiar object. The pharmacist Liuliguang Baobao Buddha he had seen before—Qi Andong took it out on the table to bid, but suddenly stopped and wiped the other one.

"It's too expensive, don't want it." He closed the lid and handed it back to Qi Andong.

"Take it, I can't think of anything else to give you."

"Why did you give me something?" Chen Yan wondered, "I have never given you a gift either."

Qi Andong choked for a moment. He was used to taking out some treasures to show his affection when courting others, and this Jade Buddha was originally reserved for Chen Yan. When Chen Yan asked, he couldn't think of a decent one. answer.

"Good luck, I wish you success and win the best screenwriter." He said with a smile.

The moon is gone in the sky, only this small stone in my hand is shining like a moonlight.

Just like what Qi Andong said to Hong Zizhen, Chen Yan was busy going out to socialize as soon as he woke up, and cooperated with Hong Zizhen to publicize his awards.Qi Andong couldn't let go of his heart. He was thinking about the phrase "frequent relapse", fearing that something might happen to Chen Yan, so he wished he could keep Chen Yan at home.

During this time, Chen Yan and Hong Zizhen got closer, and there were countless dinners, big and small.The judges at the banquet can also chat with them about movies, and the dinner table at the banquet for investors is all about business and value.

Compared with Chen Yan, these investors are obviously more concerned about Hongda's situation.

In a few words, Chen Yan also heard some news, most of which he didn't care about, but there were some that he was interested in, such as Hong Da's plan to terminate the cooperation with Zhou Hang.

Halfway through their meal, the door of the box opened suddenly, and Hong Zizhen's father, Hong Youwei, came in with a glass of wine and a few people, saying that he was having dinner next door and came over to have a glass of wine with them when he had time.

After chatting for a few words, Hong Youwei pulled Chen Yan out: "This is our screenwriter, Lu Kaiji's student. He is very talented and good-natured. I have chatted with him a few times. He has a bright future!"

Those people got to know Chen Yan again and raised their glasses to drink with him.

Chen Yan and Hong Youwei met very few times, let alone chatted.

Hong Youwei was still talking on the sidelines: "Young people, they need tempering and proper encouragement! Only in this way can they have enthusiasm and write more good scripts! I say, the future of movies still lies with them on young people."

The people in the audience naturally echoed, saying that they had watched all the films shortlisted this time, and Chen Yan wrote them better.

Chen Yan didn't know how sincere they were and how false they were, but he had watched all competitive films, and felt that he wrote them well.

After Hong Youwei left, Hong Zizhen smiled at him in a low voice: "My dad is really kind to you, he is very fond of you."

Chen Yan expressed his honor.

While he was drinking and drinking at the table, Qi Andong also answered a call. The call was from Brother Jin. They talked for a long time. After hanging up, Qi Andong went down from the dining table and contacted many people in the corridor.

He first approached Hong Youwei directly, and Hong Youwei replied with a superficial apology: "Yes, Hong Da sent your news, and I nodded too. Isn't it for "Great Building"! You are too." The beneficiaries, right?... No, no, no, those few news articles later had nothing to do with us, so we picked a head. We really don’t want to see those messy things, and this is a negative impact.”

Qi Andong asked Hong Youwei not to make his own claims in the future, and then called Shan Yu.Shan Yu was very afraid of him recently, and was eager to deny it: "I have provided information to reporters, but there are not many! I didn't take the initiative to tell it! They came to ask me and I said it. I don't know about you and...you , you were not together when I met you."

Shan Yu was still trembling when he spoke, Qi Andong warned him, but Shan Yu wanted to say something else, but was hung up.

Qi Andong called several media outlets, and the responses were similar: "Brother Dong, aren't you embarrassing us! The ready-made news leads are here, how could we not dig deeper? If we don't do it, other media will do it. If you want to pursue responsibility like this, Just ask me to resign!"

He also contacted a few directors and screenwriters he was familiar with, and when he answered the phone, he responded in the same way, saying that he hadn't revealed anything.He asked again if someone else he knew broke the news?They all acquiesced.

There are also those who are more frank, and said directly to Qi Andong: "In Chen Yan's situation, he has only been out of school for a few years, and has no money, power, or background. He can cooperate with you, cooperate with Hongda, and he will win awards... Dong Brother, you think for yourself, let you play tricks for many years, a newcomer suddenly appears to play your leading role, you act as a foil for him, and he still wins awards, are you jealous? We are all suffering under it! He just Soaring into the sky! I don’t know how many people’s eyes are red.”

He also said: "Everyone in your circle knows all kinds of things, and you can't find out who said it, and everyone knows that there will not be only one or two people who make trouble, so don't be afraid. Yes. Brother Dong, we are close to each other and I am so confiding with you, so don't say I said it."

"Wrong? Of course Chen Yan is right, but there were quite a few screenwriters who drank and ate with him when he was not famous. Suddenly one day someone who is like you or even worse than you tramples you under his feet. ...not to mention relying on nepotism...I didn't mean to target you, but everyone knows how he made his fortune."

And Wu Sha, this little girl, he has resigned.There is also Fang Qing, an insignificant little character, there is no need to embarrass him.There are countless classmates of Chen Yan, as well as Chen Yan's former peers.

Brother Jin called him just now, and the first thing he said was that this matter is really difficult.It was only after a series of phone calls that Qi Andong realized how difficult it was.

With so many people, what can he do?He is not the emperor yet.

After searching for so long and spending so much painstaking efforts, in the end there was no pusher.Like a group crime, like a mob attack, Chen Yan is a deer in the middle of the hunting ground, and anyone who sees it will stab him.

Qi Andong squeezed the phone tightly, looking at Chen Yan's name.

Unknowingly, he has offended a lot of people.

This prey, who didn't know the danger, walked out of the hotel lobby side by side with Hong Zizhen. Hong Zizhen asked, "How about it? Do you want to come to Hongda? My father cares about you very much."

Chen Yan smiled and said that he would think about it for a few days.

He rejected Hong Zizhen and sent him home, walking alone at night.He drank some wine, but felt extraordinarily sober, as if he had been born again.
