ace screenwriter

Yuan Ma entered the kitchen, Yuan Yuan took a look at Gu Yuren, took out a pair of shoes from the shoe cabinet, and said, "Change your shoes and come in and sit down."

While changing his shoes, Gu Yuren turned his head to look at their house.This is the first time Gu Yuren has come here. Although it has two bedrooms and one living room, the house is not spacious, only fifty or sixty square meters, and it is still an old house. Fortunately, it has been renovated, and it looks clean. The most important It is tidy and warm, and it has a strong home atmosphere at first sight.Gu Yuren thought of his big empty house, Yuan Yuan was still a little popular when he was there, but now that he moved away, it was so cold that he himself didn't want to go back.But Yuan Yuan was chased away by him, how could he have the nerve to ask someone to go back.

Yuan Yuan walked to the refrigerator and asked him, "What do you drink? Tea or fruit juice?"

Gu Yuren asked, "What juice?"

"Pear juice, my mother squeezed it." Ever since Yuan's father fell ill, Yuan's mother has devoted herself to diet and health. She is like an encyclopedia.

"Then pear juice. Brother, I think you seem to have gained a little weight recently. Is it because our mother's food is too good?" Gu Yuren walked to the sofa and sat down, staring at Yuan Yuan's back.

Yuan Yuan straightened his waist and turned his head, and met Gu Yuren's eyes, he lowered his eyes: "No, it's because you are so thin that your eyes are small, so you look fat in everything."

Gu Yuren was amused: "Then your eyes are getting bigger because of your fat?"

Yuan Yuan walked to the coffee table with a large glass bottle of pear juice, poured the juice for Gu Yuren, and stared at him with wide eyes: "Where do you see that I am fat?" His life and rest are very regular, exercise I have always insisted that no matter how good the food is, I won't get fat, at least I haven't gained weight.

Gu Yuren looked at him with a smile and didn't speak.Yuan Yuan felt a little nervous when he was seen. He took out the fruit plate under the coffee table, put the nut snacks he bought on a plate, and sat on the single sofa under cover, changing the subject: "Eat. I see you It's really thin, filming must be very hard."

"Well, in order to catch up with the schedule, I worked day and night." Gu Yuren said casually.

Yuan Yuan sat down on the single sofa: "How is Le Ran doing?"

"Not bad, this girl is a malleable talent." Gu Yuren took a sip of pear juice, which was cool and refreshing, and his mood immediately eased.

Yuan Yuan didn't know what to say, so he stared at his hand.This kind of cold scene has never happened before, Yuan Yuan felt a little anxious, but he didn't know how to break this embarrassment.

Gu Yuren said: "I heard from Ning Jie that you are currently writing a script for director Sheng Taiping?"

"Yes, it is adapted from the novel "Cheongsam" by a Taiwanese writer. I adapted the script with the original author." Since "Inheritance" won the award and "The Gate of Hell" became popular, more and more people are looking for Yuan Yuan to write the script. Many, but Yuan Yuan didn't accept all of them. Ning Xiuwu first helped him check and screen out those worthy of cooperation, and then let him choose among them. He only accepted the books he could write and was willing to write, otherwise he would not accept any amount of money. If you don't do it and force yourself to write for money, it is irresponsible to the other party.

Gu Yuren asked, "What kind of story is it?"

Yuan Yuan said: "It's a very simple story. It tells the story of a couple who got married because of cheongsam during the Republic of China. After three days of marriage, the husband was drafted into the army and then went to Taiwan with the army. The hero sews it for his wife who is far away in the mainland every year. A cheongsam, even if he remarries his wife and has children, this habit still remains. After 50 years, the hero finally returns to his hometown with several boxes of cheongsam. The only thing left to him is the cheongsam he wore when he got married."

Gu Yuren said after a while: "What does this story want to express?"

Yuan Yuan thought for a while: "Loyal and unswerving love, a fate that cannot be resisted."

Gu Yuren curled his lips: "But that man remarried and had a child, how can he be loyal, thinking that a cheongsam every year can offset the guilt in his heart?"

Yuan Yuan was a little surprised. It turned out that Gu Yuren was such a person who couldn't tolerate sand in his eyes. He was right when he thought about it later. Isn't that what happened to his own life experience? He licked his lips and commented objectively: "It's not like that. He doesn't want to, it's just a trick of good fortune, and external forces can't resist."

"Then it's always possible to stick to one's heart, why can his wife do it? Since you are a layman, don't pretend to be so innocent. You miss that one, but you marry another, and you marry another, but still He is making cheongsam for the former one, so he has no worries at all." Gu Yuren said.

Yuan Yuan remained silent.Gu Yuren raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "Am I not right?"

Yuan Yuan nodded: "What you said is so reasonable that I am speechless."

Gu Yuren suddenly kicked Yuan Yuan with his bare feet, and said with a smile, "Get lost, don't give me a break! You said Director Sheng is such a famous director, why did he shoot such a story?"

Gu Yuren didn't really kick, Yuan Yuan also made a gesture to dodge it, and thought for a while: "Maybe it's just for people to criticize?"

Gu Yuren looked up at the sky: "Brother, you are getting more and more glib."

Yuan Yuan chuckled: "I learned it all from you." Yuan Yuan had an illusion at this moment, as if the two of them had returned to the past, sitting together watching a movie and reading the script, discussing the plot and meaning together, warm and flowing, without much effort. If you speak, you can understand each other's mind.

However, it was still an illusion in the end. There was a loud "stab—" sound from the kitchen, and Mama Yuan started frying the fish.The two couldn't help raising their heads when they heard the loud noise. Gu Yuren said, "What is our mother doing? It smells so good!"

Yuan Yuan was very satisfied with how he called his mother, so he said: "It should be frying fish, my mother is going to cook squirrel mandarin fish today."

Gu Yuren smiled happily: "Then I'm lucky again."

"You are filming in Yangzhou, so you should go to eat often, right?" Yuan Yuan looked at him.

Gu Yuren said: "Occasionally, I sneak out to go out for a dental festival, and I usually eat boxed lunches. I am the boss, so I have to lead by example."

Yuan Yuan laughed: "It's not easy being your boss."

Mama Yuan poked her head out from the kitchen and said with a smile, "Yuan Yuan, come here and give this jujube to Xiao Gu."

"Oh, here we come." Yuan Yuan quickly got up to get the dates.

Gu Yuren looked at the busy mother and son in the room, both envious and relieved.The two were eating jujubes, and there was another silence. Gu Yuren broke the silence: "How is the script writing?"

Yuan Yuan said: "The first draft is finished. It has been given to Director Sheng."

"What about your own?" Gu Yuren asked him.

"I also wrote one, but it's not finished yet." Yuan Yuan said.

"About what?"

Yuan Yuan hesitated for a moment: "I wrote a script for my dad." In fact, he didn't intend to tell Gu Yuren, because this kind of script is too personal and destined to make no money. He doesn't want to cheat Gu Yuren again. .

"Let me have a look when you finish writing." Gu Yuren asked.

Yuan Yuan said: "I don't plan to shoot for now, I will do it myself when I have money."

Gu Yuren looked sideways at Yuan Yuan with a pensive look on his face, but he didn't speak.Being stared at by him, Yuan Yuan smiled unnaturally: "This script is too personal, probably no one would want to read it."

Gu Yuren said: "Good things can arouse people's emotional resonance. No matter what, please show me when you finish writing."

Yuan Yuan nodded: "Okay."

Yuan Yuan didn't know that Gu Yuren had always wanted to make a movie for his mother, but he didn't have the courage to expose the scar on his heart. Hearing that Yuan Yuan wrote a script for his father, he wanted to take this opportunity To express my feelings.

The evening dishes are very rich, including Yuan Ma's specialty dish squirrel mandarin fish, boiled dried shredded pork ribs, pork ribs with sauce, chicken head rice pot chicken, steamed hairy crabs and braised hairy crabs, and Yuan Yuan's favorite salted duck eggs. The table is full .

Gu Yuren was full of praise for his meal, and Yuan Ma was so happy that she kept picking up vegetables for him.Talking about Yuan Yuan's blind date, Yuan's mother was still full of regrets: "That girl is learning Chinese and also likes literature, so we don't have to worry about having nothing to talk about when we are together. You said that Yuan Yuan is a good match, don't you?"

Gu Yuren buried his head in his food and said, "Auntie, that's not necessarily the case. I heard that it's better for two people to complement each other. People who love literature are more introverted. If both of them are like this, it's not a problem at home. Stuffy? And I’ve heard the term ‘literati look down on each other’, literati are always noble, if that girl thinks too highly of herself, she refuses to accept senior brother, but always picks on senior brother’s faults, which makes senior brother so painful.”

Yuan's mother was taken aback by Gu Yuren's words: "Yes, what you said is also reasonable, and it is not impossible. You see, I teach mathematics, so I think Yuan Yuan's father is very good. Yuan Yuan's father is old Picking on Yuan Yuan's faults, saying that it should not be written like that, but should be written like this, the father and son are always arguing with each other."

Yuan Yuan raised his head and glanced at Gu Yuren, who was smiling smugly, so he cursed in his heart: It depends on how blind he is.I haven't settled with him for messing with my blind date yet.

Gu Yuren noticed Yuan Yuan staring at him, and winked at him.

After dinner, Gu Yuren chatted with Mama Yuan for a long time, and when it was past nine o'clock, Mama Yuan said, "It's already late, Xiao Gu, you just came back today, you must have worked hard, go back early and rest."

Gu Yuren nodded and got up: "Okay, I should go back too. Aunt, brother, I'm going back."

Mama Yuan said, "Yuan Yuan, send Xiao Gu off."

Yuan Yuan said "oh", stood up, and went out with Gu Yuren.After going out, Gu Yuren put on the sunglasses.Yuan Yuan said: "This corridor is a bit dark, so be careful where you step."

Gu Yuren put a hand on Yuan Yuan's shoulder: "I'm half blind now, senior brother, give me a hand."

Yuan Yuan did not push away the hand on his shoulder, and led him down the stairs slowly. When he got downstairs, Yuan Yuan suddenly said, "What information did you ask me to help you find that day?"

Gu Yuren was stunned for a moment: "What day?"

Yuan Yuan said, "It was the day I went on a blind date."
