faint star

The news that Gu Heng's studio was hollowed out spread throughout their circle of friends within a few days.Of course, private discussions among friends were indispensable, and they basically scolded Du Lixuan for being unkind, for actually stabbing a friend in the back.

Lao Yuan called Gu Heng. He was an honest man, and after scolding Du Lixuan, he spoke the truth.

"A lot of people in your circle of friends are just cursing and cursing casually. In fact, there are quite a few people who hate you for winning the award, and say that you are stupid for giving up this opportunity. If you want me to say, you should really accept this project. It's cheaper for Du Lixuan."

Gu Heng didn't regret this matter: "I can't go on with this project. It's better not to take it from the beginning than to pick it up later."

Lao Yuan said with emotion: "Most people get dizzy when they hear about the investment of big factories. Regardless of whether the film is bad or not, we must first get the money before we talk about it."

Gu Heng complained calmly: "That's why there are more and more bad movies."

Lao Yuan heard that his mentality was quite stable, so he was relieved: "You just need to be calm. You won't be afraid of not having opportunities in the future."

Gu Heng is currently in a gap period.The film promotion work is basically over, and everything has to start again, reorganizing the rivers and mountains.Plus his legs need rest and can't run around.Whether at work or physically, he seemed to be temporarily trapped.

Fortunately, there are still some smaller production companies that are interested in him and are still in contact with him.

Gu Heng took advantage of this time to write the planning and script of the next project.

But I don't know if it's the influence of these recent events, the writing of the script didn't go smoothly.In fact, he started writing this script last summer, but he was always dissatisfied with it.

On Saturday night, Xu Zhiwei went to Gu Heng's studio and had dinner with him.

During this time, Gu Heng improvised a small team.I found one person from the Internet, and the headhunter recommended two people.In this way, he can take on some less complicated small jobs and support the studio.

Today, Gu Heng and these three newcomers held a commemorative dinner for the reorganization of the studio, so he asked Xu Zhiwei to come for dinner too.

Xu Zhiwei brought a large bouquet of brightly colored sunflowers, paired with gentle lisianthus, and placed them in a conspicuous place in the studio.

"It's so beautiful." The new girl immediately took a picture with her mobile phone.

Xu Zhi smiled and said, "A newcomer starts anew, decorate it a bit, and change the atmosphere."

Gu Heng was leaning on crutches, instructing two boys to put two tables together to set up the dining table.When he saw Xu Zhiwei coming, he came over immediately and admired the flowers side by side with him.

Xu Zhiwei gently rested his head on Gu Heng's shoulder: "Congratulations on opening."

Gu Heng smiled and said, "Thank you."

He lowered his head again, and joked into Xu Zhiwei's ear: "I will remember what you said you wanted to raise me."

Xu Zhiwei gave him another headbutt.

The dinner was very simple. I ordered two dishes, including pizza, salad, fried chicken nuggets, grilled chicken wings, grilled sausage, rice rolls, squab, and chicken feet.and milk tea

, soup and small desserts, a table was full, and five people sat down at random, regardless of their priorities.

Xu Zhiwei didn't eat much, he only ate rice rolls and drank a bowl of soup.A few newcomers were rude, and swept more than half of it, and packed the rest to take home to eat.

Wait for the couple to leave happily.Only then did Xu Zhiwei feel the surroundings quiet down, and he looked at Gu Heng——at this moment Gu Heng had a lonely look on his face again.

"Is the script not going well?"

Although Gu Heng didn't say anything recently, Xu Zhiwei could tell, how could he not mind?It was obviously the best time after winning the award, but he was tricked like this.Many people secretly laughed at him for being too lofty, which is why he stumbled.

Gu Heng smiled wryly: "I had a good idea when I conceived it, but when I wrote it down, I found it boring."

Xu Zhiwei supported his head and looked at him: "Don't be so anxious. You need to raise your legs first."

Gu Heng looked at his left leg and laughed at himself: "You're right, don't be old, get sick and disabled first."

In early summer, it gets dark late, and the street lamp outside the window is not turned on until this time, reflecting on the window, together with the semi-dark sky, outlines a blurred light on the glass.

Gu Heng suddenly said: "Zhiwei, you sit here."

He went to fetch the camera and took a few photos casually.

After the filming was finished, Xu Zhiwei leaned over to watch with his head.In the photo, Xu Zhiwei turned his face slightly and was looking at him, with fresh flowers behind him and the night that is about to fall.The light behind him, which even a magician could not adjust, made his face and expression so memorable.

Xu Zhiwei didn't speak.

Gu Heng smiled and asked him: "How is it?"

Xu Zhiwei didn't want to praise her face, it was too narcissistic.He knows he can't take 100% of his own selfies with this effect.

Gu Heng was waiting for his praise, and his eyes were shining.

Xu Zhiwei sighed: "No wonder it's so easy for photographers to fall in love."

Who can look at such a photo and be unhappy, and don't want such a person to look at themselves forever.

Gu Heng put down the camera, hugged Xu Zhiwei and kissed his ear.

Xu Zhiwei knew that this was a sign of Gu Heng's emotion, so he grabbed Gu Heng's collar: "Come to your room..."

The bed in the room in the studio is also relatively small, and it is actually a little crowded for two people to stay overnight.Xu Zhiwei woke up in the morning after sleeping until the morning, and found himself spreading out his hands and feet, occupying the entire bed, and Gu Heng disappeared at some point.

Xu Zhiwei sat up, only to see that Gu Heng was holding the notebook, as if he was sorting out something.

"Did I squeeze you?" Xu Zhiwei asked.

Gu Heng said: "No, I just can't sleep."

He showed Xu Zhiwei an interview on the Internet.

Du Lixuan poached Gu Heng's studio, and now has a big factory as a backer, and even published a marketing article about how good one of Gu Heng's former assistant directors was.face to face in the article

Gu Heng, who won the award, just mentioned it briefly, but he bragged about the assistant director and put the credit for the entire documentary on him. Even the original concept was said to be proposed by the assistant director, and the writing was quite sensational.

Xu Zhiwei shook his head when he saw it, Du Lixuan was too brazen.

Gu Heng said: "I don't want to engage in a scolding war. The scolding war is still in their hands." He was sorting out the previous materials.

"I plan to organize the previous materials, notes, and some unpublished tidbits, and make a behind-the-scenes book of the documentary and publish it. This matter will stop here, and I will not respond to them."

What Xu Zhiwei was thinking about was another thing: "Du Lixuan has a problem with his personality, I think I have to persuade my brother not to let him use material to film autism."

People with such filthy means don’t know what the documentary will look like for the so-called “selling point”. The patient’s family is already in great pain and cannot withstand misunderstanding.

Gu Heng said: "Du Lixuan has this big project in his hands now, autism will definitely be put on hold..."

Suddenly his eyes lit up: "I can take pictures."

He almost jumped up, threw himself on the bed and hugged Xu Zhiwei: "How about I take a picture?"

Xu Zhiwei liked to see him so energetic: "I think he is definitely better than Du Lixuan."

They talked about it all morning from washing to breakfast.

They were interrupted by a phone call around noon.

Gu Heng glanced at the number and said, "I'll answer it, it's a work call."

Xu Zhiwei thought that he should contact his senior brother again, he wanted to accompany Gu Heng to have a look.

Without further ado, Xu Zhiwei made an appointment to have dinner with his senior in the evening.

This time they chose a quieter place to continue the idea of ​​documentary production.As soon as Xu Zhiwei suggested that the senior should reject Du Lixuan, the senior immediately said, "Actually, I also think so, but I haven't spoken to you yet."

After all, it was the person introduced by Xu Zhiwei, so he wanted to be more tactful.

The brother told Xu Zhiwei that Du Lixuan had talked with him about the idea of ​​making a documentary before, and he wanted to find two families of sick children as a comparison.He even hopes that the doctor will find him two children, one with mild autism and one with more severe autism.This is compared to shooting.

The brother thinks that this plan is inappropriate - such a filming is a kind of harm and exploitation to the seriously ill child. Although the severely autistic child has no idea what happened, but for this family, the comparison is too cruel.

Talking with Gu Heng today is much more enjoyable. Gu Heng wants to follow only one child and make a special episode every year, and shoot continuously for at least five years to record the changes in the child.

It just so happens that it is summer vacation, and ordinary students are already on vacation.After communication and negotiation, Gu Heng began to photograph the family of a six-year-old patient.This summer vacation, his parents are running around connecting schools for their children.

until ten

In January, Gu Heng finally roughly cut out all the materials shot in Xia Tian for an hour.Out of respect, he invited Xu Zhiwei, his brother, and the sick child's mother to the studio and screened the one-hour rough cut.

After reading it, the mother of the sick child burst into tears.She said to Gu Heng: "I originally thought that Lele's improvement was very small, but after seeing this...even a small improvement is a huge improvement."

After the guests left, Gu Heng hugged Xu Zhiwei and asked, "What do you think?"

Xu Zhiwei said: "I originally wanted to persuade you to take a good rest, but you limp and insisted on filming."

Gu Heng smiled: "Anyway, it's all over now."

Now that he has taken off the brace, he can touch the ground again. However, he may have struggled with this leg in the past two years, so it has become a little easier to take care of the pain, which seems to be due to psychological reasons.

He asked Xu Zhiwei again: "Do you still remember what day it is?"

When Xu Zhiwei was reminded by him, he realized that today is the first day of November.

He was also very busy during this time, and he actually forgot both of their birthdays - Gu Heng's and his birthdays were only one day away.Gu Heng is November [-]st, he is November [-]nd.

"I'm not prepared for anything." Xu Zhiwei felt a little melancholy.

At this time last year, Grandpa passed away not long ago, and he was not in the mood to celebrate his birthday.Thinking about it this way, he and Gu Heng have been together for a year.

Gu Heng's relative Xu Zhiwei's ear: "No need to prepare. Being with you is the best birthday present."
