guilty of [entertainment]

Du Yeqing didn't drive the car to a villa in the suburbs, and directly found a coffee shop near the location where the commercial was going to be filmed tomorrow. He picked a remote corner, which happened to be under the rare sunlight in winter, and began to read the script carefully.

It's not really a script, it looks more like a novella.

The protagonist of the script is Lin Ge, a 19-year-old freshman with an introverted and cold personality. During the winter vacation, he went to a vacation island to relax with his same-sex friend who had an affair with him, and because of the typhoon, he had to stay in the hotel and could not return. I accidentally met my mother who was on vacation with another man in this hotel.Taking this as an opportunity, the screenwriter used a lot of flashback techniques to unfold a complex relationship of more than [-] years between the short five days, the small island, and the simple three people.

The whole story is full of heavy rain, coffee, sea smell and vague memories. Compared with the plot, the characters, emotions and atmosphere are what support the whole story.The heroine, Lin Qinglian, is Lin Ge's mother. She was once a top student in a key provincial high school, but gave birth to Lin Ge by accident at the age of 16, and then resolutely left home with her son who was just one month old, gave up her studies, and came to a strange city alone. Work hard inside.This woman has concentrated all the advantages that a woman can have. She is beautiful, intelligent, tenacious, and gentle. She raised Xiao Lin Ge alone, like a mother and a sister, and became the most beautiful scenery in Lin Ge's life. In his adolescence, he couldn't bear such a strong charm of young women. On the one hand, he deeply respected and loved his mother, and on the other hand kept a distance from her mother.She is not only his mother, but also his ideal lover, his confidant, and most of his world, so that he has no interest in all other women until he meets a same-sex man who is nine years older than him after college. My friend Ouyang began to doubt his own sexuality, and then he had a background in island tourism...

Du Yeqing stayed in the cafe until it was about to close, refilled the coffee several times, and read the story from beginning to end, over and over again.The author's writing is very delicate, and it seems that they are just trivial things in life, but the delicate description reminds him of many things, his only relative in Sweden, and the sour and bitter past. In the days, I seemed to see myself who was struggling a long time ago through this thin stack of A4 paper. When I was deeply touched, I had to support my forehead with my hands several times, and tightly pinched the bridge of my nose to keep it from getting sore.When the waiter of the cafe came to remind him that it was closed, he took a long breath, raised his head, and saw the night outside full of neon lights.

He came out of the cafe and sat in his car seat, unable to recover from it for a long time.Seeing that it was almost twelve o'clock, he still called Chen Mo, and he picked up after a single ring: "Why haven't you slept yet?"

Du Yeqing asked: "Where did you get this script? Who wrote it?"

"I saw it on my brother's computer when I was a sophomore," Chen Mo said. "The author is not a professional screenwriter, not even a writer. He is just an amateur novelist, and his writing is very spiritual. Why, no Like it?"

"There are so many popular themes that only make money and don't lose money, why choose this?" Du Yeqing said, "Even if the director Bai, the originator of literary and artistic films, does not necessarily make it a hit, if you are not careful, the filming will be lengthy and boring. Chaos, do you know this?"

"It's just a test of the waters, box office doesn't matter, don't be restricted, just play to your heart's content." Chen Mo said with a slight smile in his voice, "If Brother Qing came to act, he must be able to play the role alive. .”

"..." Du Yeqing's heart was a little swollen, and he leaned against the car door. What Chen Mo was still talking over there, his consciousness had drifted away, and he whispered: "Then, see you tomorrow."

The next day, Du Yeqing did not meet with Chen Mo alone, and directly handed over the script to Ni Ning. Someone from Chen Mo's team came to discuss the contract.Ni Ning, who hadn't received any news before, was shocked. Holding the stack of scripts, he looked at Du Yeqing and the person who came to negotiate the contract in disbelief, and said, "Did you forget? You just did it last month." Sign a TV series and a movie, and still shoot? Do you want to die?"

Du Yeqing said: "Put that TV show down and put this one first. I've read the script, and the director and producer know it too. It's more suitable than those two."

Ni Ning frowned, stood in embarrassment for a while, made a few phone calls, and finally said: "Give me a little time, I'll go back and read the script first, and don't be impulsive, let's make an appointment on Friday." Let's talk about the contract, okay?"

Ni Ning finished reading the script that night when he went back. This time, he didn't call Du Yeqing, but directly called Chen Mo's phone.She didn't know that Chen Mo was the producer and investor, and she told him clearly that the script was too niche, and the box office would be dismal in all likelihood, and the team here didn't want to accept it.Chen Mo then said to her: "I don't want the box office, I want to win awards. I hired the best director and the best team, only the best actors are missing. Du Yeqing hasn't achieved anything in the past few years, right?"

Ni Ning was speechless. A few days later, Du Yeqing finished filming the commercial, and when it was time to go to the crew of the TV series, Ni Ning found Chen Mo again, hesitated, and signed the contract. With Ye Qing's signal, he turned down the TV series.After deducting the liquidated damages for the termination of the TV series, this movie can only bring Du Yeqing less than one-tenth of the normal income.

After signing the contract, Chen Mo moved to Du Yeqing's apartment in the city center.

This is Chen Mo's first time working in the entertainment industry. Although he borrowed a team from his father, many things are new to the hands of novices.In addition, the money invested in the movie was paid for by himself, and the apartment at J University was too far away, so he couldn't find a suitable place for a while, so he made this request very naturally, and Du Yeqing was also very natural I readily agreed, and no one mentioned the unpleasant things on New Year's Eve.When he moved here, Du Yeqing himself entered this apartment for the first time this year.

The apartment is still the same as it was years ago, and there are traces left by Hao Ziqian everywhere: waste paper with lyrics scattered on the table, an electronic organ on the balcony, a lot of ostentatious clothes in the closet, slippers, cups, towels are all in pairs.Du Yeqing didn't think of this before, and felt embarrassed after opening the door. He called the housekeeping company and invited an aunt to come over and take care of the apartment inside and out. Hao Ziqian's clothes, musical instruments, mobile phones, and books were all I packed a bag, there were six big boxes, and I didn't know what to do.

Chen Mo simply put his clothes in the closet, moved the box to the balcony for him, and said, "Call his manager to pick it up."

Du Yeqing didn't really want to get in touch with them again, so he just said, "Let's talk about it."

But even though Chen Mo moved into his apartment, the two of them rarely saw each other for a while.Du Yeqing was busy catching up with the announcement in order to free up time for filming "A Dream for 30 Years". Most of the time he lived directly in the nearby hotel and only came back once in a few days. Chen Mo, who was on the ground, until things on both sides settled down, Du Yeqing began to devote all his energy to "A Dream of 30 Years", and spent a lot more time with Chen Mo.

In March, "One Dream 30 Years" started casting, and Du Yeqing was the only one selected by the supervisor. In addition to his own strength and reputation, director Bai didn't say anything, just asked him to participate in a unified interview .It was not until this time that Du Yeqing saw Bai Yunju for the first time.The man who is almost 60 years old has long hair, tied into a ponytail and dragged behind his head. The ends of his hair are all dyed brown, and there is no trace of white hair. He sits in the center of the long table with his back arched Di Chuanzi, sitting next to him were Chen Mo and several important staff members, none of whom dared to speak.

Du Yeqing sat beside Chen Mo.More people came for the interview than expected. It is said that Bai Yunju went directly to the J Drama University to find teachers who recommended many good candidates.Apart from Lin Ge, the character set by Du Yeqing, there are two main characters, Lin Qinglian and Ouyang, and five secondary characters.There were seven people who came to test Lin Qinglian's role. Chen Mo quietly said to him on his mobile phone: "The main character Bai Dao has already counted in his heart. Pay attention to number six."

First, there are three female students who are majoring in J drama. After all, the age difference is too large. In any case, they do not have the strong charm of Chen Qinglian in the novel, which is pure, strong and charming. Number four is an actress who has just debuted , slightly better than the students.Number five is also a bit unsatisfactory.

Du Yeqing was a little tired of watching, and finally it was the turn of number six.The people who came to audition wore sky blue down jackets, beautiful colorful hats and colorful scarves, no make-up, big and bright eyes, red lips, as soon as they stood in front of them, their eyes were calm. Sweeping across their faces one by one, a little childish and a little unpredictable, he smiled at them and bowed.

Du Yeqing sat up straight at once. This woman's face made him feel very familiar. After looking at it a few more times, he remembered that this person was none other than the actress who defended him on Weibo some time ago. Liang Liang.

Liang Liang's voice was better than he had imagined, a little crunchy and loud, and he spoke clearly: "Please take care of me."

Bai Yunju handed her the scene to be acted, and said: "Prepare for 3 minutes." Then he suddenly turned his head to Du Yeqing, and said: "You and her face this scene."

Du Yeqing also took over the script, stood up from behind the table, and walked in front of Liang Liang.Due to the age of the character, Du Yeqing dressed very much like a student today, a simple T-shirt, a casual jacket, jeans and sneakers underneath, slightly longer hair, bangs covering the eyes, somewhat Gloomy attire.As soon as he walked to the front, Chen Mo's gaze fell on him, and he slowly sat up straight.
