dear dreamer

"The Windless Hill" is Zhong Xing's famous work, and "Yesterday" is his breakthrough work to get rid of the title of commercial film director and become a new leader in the field of romantic literary films.

When Deng Tingge mentioned these two films, he immediately gained Zhong Xing's favor.He has made four or five films in the past few years, and there are not a few experimental short stories, but these two are the ones he has the deepest affection for.

Deng Tingge looked at Zhong Xing with hope.Zhong Xing had a cold face before, but now he can't hold back anymore.

"The acting is good. This story is actually not suitable for the drama stage. It has more inner drama, but you have grasped it very well." Zhong Xing said, "Whether it is the adaptation of the script or the performance of the actors is very appropriate."

Since he has been in this industry for several years, he has gained more understanding of the "correct path" that the old teachers said at that time. Although "Heart Sutra" is a story of intense conflicts, it is not suitable for the stage.He was still so young at the time, and the script he wrote contained unavoidable confusion and uncertainty, and he didn't even have his own judgment on the story itself.He was bound by the story, but he lost the ability to grasp the story.

The drama he watched today made him realize something that was not in his script at the time.

There is often no shortage of things in the world, no lack, what is lacking is "proper".Excessive passion is sometimes inappropriate. For young newcomers, this so-called "degree" is difficult to grasp accurately.

As soon as he finished speaking, Deng Tingge's face flashed with excitement, and he turned around and pulled the eye-eyed youth who was standing beside him just now.

"He is the screenwriter and director of "Heart Sutra." Deng Tingge introduced the young man with glasses to Zhong Xing and Luo Hengqiu, "He is also a pillar in another sense of our crew, Liu Haojun."

Liu Haojun: "???"

Zhong Xing's eyes lit up.As far as the performance he saw just now, Deng Tingge is indeed excellent, but it has not yet reached the level of surprise; and screenwriting means a lot to him: an excellent screenwriter is hard to find.

Ignoring Luo Hengqiu coughing non-stop in the back, Zhong Xing excitedly communicated with Liu Haojun.He asked Liu Haojun's understanding of the story and how to deal with it, and the two chatted excitedly, completely leaving Deng Tingge and Luo Hengqiu aside.

Deng Tingge didn't take it seriously, and brought two cans of beer.The beer was no longer ice-cold, and it didn't taste very good in his mouth. Luo Hengqiu hadn't had this kind of wine for a long time, so he put it down after a few sips.

"Xiao Liu is very talented, but his temper is a bit twisted." Deng Tingge said, "It may not be easy to get along in this line of work."

Luo Hengqiu smiled when he thought of the idealism Zhong Xing had just mentioned. "And you?"

"Almost. I went all the way to the dark, refusing to look back, refusing to admit my mistakes, refusing to change." Deng Tingge turned his head and said, "Take your time. I hope that one day I can become a mature person like you."

"Mature people are very boring." Luo Hengqiu said, "You are happier like this."

"It's just a happy period of time." Deng Tingge jumped onto the table beside him and sat down, and said slowly, "After this semester, you will be a senior year, writing a graduation thesis, looking for a job, and raising a family. There are many practical problems."

Luo Hengqiu silently looked at the two people who were happily chatting opposite.Since the reunion with Deng Tingge, Deng Tingge has never asked where he works, and he seems to have no interest in his background.Luo Hengqiu hoped that he would ask, but felt that it would be good not to ask, as there was no interest involved between the two of them, and they could be friends normally.

After his father passed away, Luo Hengqiu began to take over his media group. For this reason, he gave up the opportunity to continue his studies and returned to China to study and do business.However, in fact, there are not many things that require him to make decisions. The shareholders' meeting is full of sophisticated people. He has to work hard to maintain his image and momentum, so as not to be looked down upon by the elders.

He knew that as long as Deng Tingge spoke, he would be able to open a basically smooth path for him to enter this circle.

However, there is a limit here, once it passes, the current relationship between him and Deng Tingge will be over.

Zhong Xing and Liu Haojun chatted happily, leaving each other's mobile phone numbers.Luo Hengqiu has already talked with Deng Tingge about the super flower that Deng Tingge had a crush on back then.

"Are you ready to get married?" Deng Tingge was surprised, "You haven't graduated yet."

"We'll get married when we're sure." Luo Hengqiu said, "The wedding will probably be held as soon as graduation. The groom is someone I know. Do you want to go?"

Deng Tingge laughed loudly: "No, no, no, I won't go. I don't have any feelings for her now. When you mentioned her name, I still haven't remembered what she looks like."

Luo Hengqiu and Zhong Xing said goodbye quickly.Because today's performance received a good response, Deng Tingge and the others planned to discuss the situation tonight, and only sent the two of them to the entrance of the theater.

At this time, Zhong Xing asked as if suddenly remembering something serious: "Xiao Deng, have you signed a contract with any company now?"

"No." Deng Tingge said, "I have no such plan. I will take the civil service exam after graduation."

Zhong Xing was stunned: "Why? You have good qualifications, and I see you are very happy to act."

"One has to be more realistic." Deng Tingge said with a smile, "It's too difficult to get ahead in this line of work."

Zhong Xing looked back at Luo Hengqiu who was leaning against the car: "It's not difficult. Do you know that your brother is the boss of Huatian Media?"

Luo Hengqiu was startled: "Zhong Xing!"

"I know." Deng Tingge said calmly, "Brother's name appeared on the economic section of the daily newspaper some time ago."

Zhong Xing was puzzled immediately: "Then what are you afraid of? You acted well, and if you sign with Huatian's film and television company, the road will be smooth."

Deng Tingge was a little embarrassed.Luo Hengqiu stood there even more, looking at Deng Tingge with complicated eyes.

"Not so good." He laughed.

Zhong Xing glanced at him and said with a sneer, "Death is pure."

On the way back, Luo Hengqiu felt unhappy and didn't make much noise all the way.

Zhong Xing yawned tiredly: "Take me home, thank you."

"Which house?"

"My home." Zhong Xing said.

Luo Hengqiu was silent for a while, passed two green lights in a row, and finally couldn't help but said when he stopped at the intersection: "Zhong Xing, I know you are not noble, but can you be more polite? Don't you see how embarrassed he is? "

"Is it good for him to be polite?" Zhong Xing snorted, "Students like him are idealistic, hypocritical, and like to put on airs."

"Don't forget, you also looked like this when you first entered the industry."

"That's why I wanted to remind him."

When Zhong Xing first entered the industry, he was also very lofty and aloof.However, as a director, he has too many up-and-down relationships to take into account. After countless bumps and bumps, he finally understood the principle of watching food and eating, and he also began to learn the way to achieve his goals in a roundabout way.

"I admire him so I want to wake him up. I would say these things to others?" Zhong Xing said, "Don't be so arrogant, kid, not everyone is qualified to put on airs."

Luo Hengqiu was silent.

"It's mainly because of such a good seedling. It's a pity that I gave up like this." After a long while, Zhong Xing said to himself, "You know, good qualifications are really hard to find. At the end of last year, there was a newcomer in Huanshi who played a Fool, remember. Others thought he was self-destructive, and he won a few awards. A good actor can do anything, no matter his age or background. The problem is, there are so many stars, but so few good actors. You Junior Brother, I am really reluctant."

"Don't want you to say that?" Luo Hengqiu turned the steering wheel, "But it's too difficult to get ahead. The man you mentioned is Qiu Yang, I know. He is Qiu Zizhen's son, the young master who is happy in the world. How much gold is in this award? Anyone can see it."

The xylitol that Zhong Xing threw into his mouth almost spit out: "So I hate chatting with you business people. Have you seen the movie? You would never say that after watching the movie. Frankly speaking, Deng Tingge gave me It feels a bit like that newcomer. They all have the temperament and foundation of a good actor. You can see how calm he is. He knows that I am a director, and he didn’t say a word about himself, and directly pushed Liu Haojun in front of me. What do you think? Why?"

Luo Hengqiu answered this question without thinking.

"He has already decided to give up this path after graduating from university, so he simply introduces you to people who intend to squeeze into this circle."

Zhong Xing chewed another piece of xylitol: "Well, you know him quite well. He is capable, has a good temper, is willing to recommend others, and has a vision of talent. It is rare. I am not familiar with him, you can persuade him He said it. You have the resources in your hands, he has the ability, and it doesn’t take much effort to become popular.”

Luo Hengqiu remained silent again.When he was about to reach Zhong Xing's house, he said sullenly, "The circle is dirty and chaotic."

Zhong Xing smiled for a while, opened the door and got out of the car.He said that you have to protect the dirty, what are you afraid of, he can get out of the mud without getting dirty, just like me.

Luo Hengqiu said yes yes yes, you white lotus.

After the performance discussion, the people from the drama club stayed to sort things out.Deng Tinge spread out the used newspapers on the dressing table, covering the things that hadn't been tidied up in time.

"It was too sudden." Liu Haojun said.

"Indeed." Deng Tingge hummed, "I just told me this afternoon, so the day after tomorrow will be the last show." He turned around to sweep the floor with a broom, and when he turned around, he saw several actors taking out a few new promotional posters and preparing to put them up , The huge "Heart Sutra" on the poster is very eye-catching.

In the discussion on the performance just now, he has already explained clearly the things about the theater to everyone.The People's Theater, which has lingered for many years, is finally about to be demolished, and the "Heart Sutra" the day after tomorrow will be their last performance.The theater club has been established for three years. From the small classrooms in the school to the small auditorium of the college, it finally found a fixed performance place here, and the process was tortuous.Now that there are no venues for performances, it is impossible to say that I don't feel uncomfortable.

Several people in the same class as Deng Tingge were relatively calm, but the newly joined juniors and juniors were very sad.They carefully arranged the props, cleaned the ground, and carefully reposted the posters. The meaning of the performance the day after tomorrow suddenly became more solemn.

Deng Tinge knew he couldn't be depressed.He and Liu Haojun took the lead in forming the theater club, but Liu Haojun was not very skilled in handling things, and he was mostly responsible for communicating with members and boosting morale.But his heart was also full of sadness, and he couldn't say a word that was nice or exciting.

He had already set the deadline for his farewell to the stage to graduate, but who knew that this moment came early, and he was so caught off guard.

Liu Haojun picked up the unwanted newspapers on the ground, and suddenly paused: "Xiao Deng, isn't the one above your brother?"

"Yeah." Deng Tingge took a look and nodded, "It's him."

Liu Haojun knelt down to take a closer look, then raised his head suddenly, his face full of excitement: "He belongs to Huatian Media! Xiao Deng, Huatian Media! You can find him, he can help you."

Deng Tinge looked down at the photos in the newspaper.The Luo Hengqiu in the newspaper was very strange. His attire and the calm and indifferent expression on his face were all different from what Deng Tingge usually saw.

"Forget it," he said, "it's not very convenient."

Liu Haojun was puzzled: "Why is it inconvenient? Aren't you good brothers? I think he comes almost every time."

Deng Tingge swept around, crouched beside Liu Haojun and scratched his hair a little restlessly.

"My lord, let me ask you a question." Deng Tingge said, "You... have you ever been liked by anyone?"

Liu Haojun was stunned for a while, and said angrily that I am 22 years old, are you insulting me!

Deng Tinge: "Have you ever done it?"

Liu Haojun: "...Maybe, no."
