Improv [Rebirth]

The thought of meeting Di Kun was fleeting.

Chen Yan had nothing incomprehensible to Di Kun, and he had nothing useful to say. At most, it was just a few words of chicken soup to let go of the past and live his own life.But it's all bullshit.

If Di Kun is willing, he can bring Di Kun back, and they will overcome difficulties together—yes, they will overcome difficulties together. This is Di Kun's hurdle, and it is also his.However, he now understands why Di Kun made the decision to leave him and go back to school, and he also understands that Di Kun will not go home with him, at least not now.

Chen Yan was in a trance, and Hong Zizhen was absent-minded when he called everyone for a meeting the next day.

Fortunately, Hong Zizhen was also trapped in personal affairs, so she didn't pay attention to him.

"It's very simple to talk about two things today." Hong Zizhen said.There was no usual fighting spirit in his voice.

Hong Zizhen is a director, but not an ordinary director. He is the son of Hong Youwei, the leader, the soul, and the backbone.In order to cheer up the people in the team, no matter how tired he is, he always speaks upwards, full of hope all the time.At this time, his strength was taken away, and he seemed to be unable to support himself.

"Do you want to hear the good first, or the bad first?" he asked.

There are always some people who can't see Hong Zizhen's abnormality, and they laughed and said, "I only want to hear good things, okay?"

"Then let's talk about the good things first," Hong Zizhen didn't answer, "I'm getting married next month, please be kind to me and attend."

The meeting room exploded, and several girls even screamed. The atmosphere suddenly became lively, and the tone changed from low to high, beaming with joy, and congratulations poured out.

Chen Yan's surprise was limited. He had limited reactions to everything now, as if there was a ceiling on his head, and he would bump his head when he stood up.He said, "Congratulations to Director Hong."

"With Li Pan," Hong Zizhen smiled at him, "you must go."

It seemed unexpected, but also reasonable, Chen Yan nodded: "Definitely."

Hong Zizhen cleared her throat to stop the discussion, and said, "The second thing."

He was silent for a long time. At first they thought he was waiting for the room to quiet down, but after the needle drop could be heard here, Hong Zizhen still didn't speak.

His silence gradually made the people present feel uneasy, and their smiles gradually faded away.Only Chen Yanhun flew into the sky, secretly dazed.

"The director of "Sin Song", I can't do it." His face was expressionless, and a faint smile could be seen on closer inspection. It was not a happy smile, but a smile that he wanted or could not want.

This time Chen Yan came back to his senses, everyone was speechless by the sudden news and looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Of course, we won't give up on this project. After all, the funds are almost in place." When he said this, he looked at Chen Yan intentionally, as if to give him an explanation.

"You are no longer a director, will the funds still be in place?" Chen Yan asked softly.

Not only he wanted to ask, everyone wanted to ask, everyone knew how much Hong Zizhen's face accounted for.

He took out a cigarette and lit it, put it in his mouth and took two puffs: "Don't worry, everyone, the director who takes over is still in talks. I assure you, he will only be better than me."

But this is not a question of excellence.

The dull atmosphere did not ease at all, and Chen Yan didn't bother to explore what it was like in his heart.In terms of movies, he has been on a smooth and smooth road for so long that he almost forgot what reality looks like, and he was suddenly caught off guard today.

Hong Zizhen is no longer a director, and now Chen Yan has a lot of things to think about. Among the many difficulties, the first thing he thought of was actually Qi Andong.

"Is Qi Andong still acting?" He asked.

As we all know, the title can explain the relationship between two people.He always called Brother Dong in front of his colleagues, so the people sitting next to him were a little surprised by calling him by his first name and last name.

"……do not know."

Hong Zizhen originally planned to avoid this matter today, one blow a day is enough, and they might find it difficult to accept it all at once, and their hearts will be distracted.

He didn't expect Chen Yan to ask directly. In his mind, Chen Yanzhi's role in this movie should be closer to the producer than the staff. He should be the same as him and Hong Da, and regard "Sin Song" as a shared honor and disgrace. of a business.Therefore, he should do everything possible to appease the people sitting beside him, instead of spreading everything so clearly.

"I told Brother Dong about this a few days ago, and he said we'll see." Hong Zizhen said, "We will do everything we can to make him stay."

If you say this, you will fall into a disadvantage, and you have already put yourself in a position where you need to seek and fight for it.

Chen Yan didn't say anything.

After they adjourned, he called Qi Andong directly and asked him if he would continue to stay on the set. Qi Andong's tone was perfunctory, and he only said to think about it.

"Well, if you have a schedule, I still hope you can stay. The current situation is not good. Once Hong Zizhen leaves, the crew is like a mess." He said.

"Yeah." There was a noncommittal answer.

After a while, when Chen Yan wanted to hang up the phone, Qi Andong suddenly said, "Do you have anything else to tell me?"

"what?"

"It's about Di Kun." Qi Andong's tone became cold.

Chen Yan thought about it carefully and said, "I have nothing to say."

"you have not?"

Qi Andong seemed to be angry, Chen Yan thought, since they got along, he has been becoming irritable, happy and sad, with high frequency of emotional ups and downs, which is completely different from when they first met.In his memory, Qi Andong was not expressing his emotions and anger at first, and he always looked calm.

"What did you promise me when Di Kun left with you? You said you wouldn't let me down, but what happened? He's still a child! Are those things he should see? No matter how big a mistake Di Hui made, he shouldn't go there." face!"

Qi Andong calmed down, and continued: "Is it your idea to ask Di Kun to testify? You are really smart, but you have grown your brains at this time."

"Have you met Di Kun?" Chen Yan interrupted him.

"No."

"Go and meet him, he needs someone to accompany him now."

"you--"

Chen Yan hung up before he could speak.In the past, only Qi Andong hung up his phone, but now he calls Qi Andong.

He was not in the mood to explain to Qi Andong, nor was he willing.If Qi Andong asked Di Kun directly, Di Kun would tell him the truth, but if he didn't ask, then forget it.

Life is not like a novel, every misunderstanding can be resolved perfectly, and all clues point to the ending.In many cases, in the end, you don't know who you have misunderstood, what things you have misunderstood, and what the truth is.But it's just make do, let's get over it.

He and Qi Andong stood on both sides of the gully, with lies, deceit, coincidences and mistakes in the middle, the sweetness and heart in the gap were hard to find, among the endless stumbling blocks, no one would care if there was one more.

He returned home, sat there all afternoon, and felt hungry at night. When he opened the refrigerator, he found that there was only half a carton of milk left.

Since Di Kun was gone, he has been less particular about his life.

It's really a desolate house, alone.

He called his father and asked how his mother was doing. Chen Kezhuang said that the situation was good, and he would try to explain your matter to her when it became more stable. The implication is that you are still a thorn in her heart, so don't give you a sense of existence. up.

He really wanted to talk about his own affairs with his family, but he didn't know how to say these things that couldn't be explained clearly and couldn't tell right from wrong.Parents don't know much about the entertainment industry, not to mention that there is a mess there, and his mother is still waiting to take care of him. How can he add another problem to his father.

In the end he just said, "I'm fine, take care of yourself."

Announcing good news but not bad news is a passive skill, one must learn it when one grows up.

When the sun sets and changes to the moon, he finally waits for someone who can speak.

Lu Kaiji sent him a message, asking if he was free to go to his house for a while.

More than free, ask for it.Chen Yan almost ran to the teacher's house in a hurry, as if he would be driven crazy by this deserted room if he had another second.

Lu's old house is bright and warm, filled with the unique quiet atmosphere of the elderly.The teacher's wife had already rested, Lu Kaiji slowly took out the tea, Chen Yan took it and brewed two cups of tea by himself, and then took a blanket to cover the teacher's lap.

They chatted for a while, and Lu Kaiji asked, "I heard from Hong Zizhen that he is no longer a director?"

"Ah?" Chen Yan was stunned. He only knew that Hong Zizhen would not be directing "Song of Sin" anymore, but he didn't expect that he would not even be the director.

"It seems to be what his father meant." Lu Kaiji said.

"Can he agree?" Chen Yan couldn't believe it.

"It's been a long time, it's not a day or two. Maybe something happened to Di Hui recently. Although Hong Youwei is proud of his success, he should learn from it. Such a big company cannot be supported by one person or a family. Hong Youwei Because I need the help of managing the company, so does the Hong family. Didn’t he return the invitation to marry the shareholders?”

Lu Kaiji spoke slowly, and Chen Yan also slowed down, and his mood eased a lot, creating a kind of comfort that everything can be solved without any importance.

"I remember, you still have a notebook in Hong Zizhen's hands, don't you?" Old Lu asked.

"Well, the project has already been approved, but suddenly the director has to be changed. I don't know what the result will be." Chen Yan felt a little sad.

"He came to me a few days ago and asked me to direct the tube."

"Teacher!" Chen Yan opened his eyes wide, his heart beat like thunder, his blood accelerated, and he became excited.

But he quickly concealed his excitement, and tried to calmly say: "The teacher is not in good health, so don't work too hard."

"Oh, you think I'm old?" Lu Kaiji looked at him with a half-smile.

"Of course not!" Chen Yan said immediately, complaining, "You just entered the hospital, why did he come to you!"

Directing is a physical job, which is probably better than moving bricks, but it is also limited.

"He said a lot, and I was a little bit moved," Lu Kaiji patted his leg, "Listening to what he said, it seems that I don't have to suffer a lot, and this old bone will come out of the mountain one day."

"Teacher..." Chen Yan's heart beat faster again, this time slowly, and finally his face flushed.

Hearing what Lu Kaiji meant, he seemed to really want to take over the job.

"But I'm really old. Although I keep up with the trend in theory, I can't do it technically and aesthetically. I'm afraid that young people won't like it." Lu Kaiji said gently.

Chen Yan rushed over and hugged Mr. Lu tightly.

Lu Kaiji was wearing a sweater, those tiny fluffs made his nose sore and his eyes watery.

The teacher stopped being a director when he entered school, and he disappeared even after that.He never dreamed that he would be able to stand on the set with his teacher one day, and his name would appear on the same screen.

"I haven't been active in the industry for a long time. I have neither left you any resources nor paved a good way for you. Now it's time to open the door and go out to support my students."
