Recalcitrant

After going back and forth, Zhou Yang's joining the "Long Road" project was settled like this.

The main creative team is almost built, and the next step is to choose actors.Chen Zhuo has an almost harsh attachment to the actor who plays the role of Ni Tang. Not only is he demanding, but he is also very specific, down to the shape of the lips, the color of the pupils, and the lines of the side face.

It was hard work for casting director Qi Fang. Qi Fang led his team to rummage through the materials submitted by various economic companies, traveled all over the country's major art schools, and even amateurs who squatted on the street for several weeks, all Could not find an actress that meets Chen Yao's requirements.

At that time, Xie Siwen and his father happened to buy a manor on a piece of tea mountain. Xie Er called for friends, and brought a group of celebrity young models, and went up the mountain lively.

On weekdays, the simple and quiet tea mountain, today, a hundred flowers are blooming, the fragrance is floating, and the delicate and crisp laughter and noise can be heard from a long distance away. Looking up from the foot of the mountain, you can also faintly see the soaring evil spirit. .

It was much quieter on the high terrace. A producer of a variety show came up from the tea garden with a mixed-race model in his arms. He heard Qi Fang half-jokingly complaining about this to everyone, so he suggested to Lu Shaoheng: "I see, you might as well make a show." If you win the draft, not only can you get someone selected, but you can also promote it in advance.”

Lu Shaoheng became interested as soon as he heard it. The market for variety shows in talent shows is very good recently, and those who have the conditions or not are rushing to cut this crop of leeks.

Xiao Kai from a brokerage company at the side was delighted after hearing this: "Why don't you just choose an actor? There's no need to go to such trouble." Then, he pouted his mouth in the direction of the tea garden and said, "I brought two beautiful actors today. Sister, do you want to try acting for a while?"

"Come on." Xie Siwen lay on the recliner with his legs crossed: "You don't know who Ni Tang is based on? In our Director Chen's heart, she is a perfect woman. Your face full of plastic surgery But forget it."

"Xie Er." Chen Zhuo was sticking with the tea master in the pavilion, when he heard Xie Siwen's words, he turned his head and looked over, with a hint of warning in his eyes.

Xie Siwen quickly shut up, and made a gesture of zipping his mouth with a playful smile.

"Oh?" Lu Shaoheng was lying on the side basking in the sun with sunglasses on his forehead. Hearing what Xie Siwen said, he became interested: "Ni Tang still has a prototype? I don't know why."

Xie Siwen glanced at Chen Zhuo's face, and quickly began to play sloppy eyes: "Haha, it's all in the past, don't talk about it, don't talk about it."

After a while, the beautiful girl and young man on the tea mountain came up and called everyone to go swimming in the lake at the bottom of the mountain.

Xie Siwen has asthma and is not suitable for swimming.Lu Shaoheng has always disliked going into the water, and he avoided all water sports. In addition, he is having a good chat with a boy who can speak well at the moment, and he has no interest in going to the lake to daze.

So after a gust of fragrant wind whizzed away, only the three of them were left on the terrace.

This boy is also a little rich second generation, his family develops a cemetery, and his size can be regarded as a real estate industry.It is not cheap to buy a cemetery these days. Lu Shaoheng does everything he can to seduce people. Not only did he learn a lot of details with great interest, he even waved his hand and decided to set up a feng shui treasure land for himself on the spot.

Sitting at the side, Xie Siwen felt more and more panicked the more he listened, especially when Lu Shaoheng and the boy were discussing the secret of choosing a tomb, his back felt hairy.

In the end, Xie Siwen couldn't bear it anymore, and found a reason to interrupt the conversation between the two, and successfully dismissed the second generation of Xiaofu, then turned around and began to blame Lu Shaoheng: "Are you sick? What are you doing buying this thing at a young age? It’s not too bad either.”

"I'm sick, and you didn't just find out today." Lu Shaoheng looked at the boy's leaving back reluctantly, and still didn't have a clue: "I have to buy it anyway, maybe I'll use it when?"

The businessman's family was somewhat superstitious. Seeing that Lu Shaoheng was so outspoken, Xie Siwen put his palms together in a posture of praying to God and worshiping Buddha, gave Lu Shaoheng a glance, and muttered: "Bah, bah, bah, nonsense, hurry up and get rid of it."

Lu Shaoheng didn't take it seriously. He pulled off the sunglasses on his forehead and placed them on the bridge of his nose. Looking at the finally cleared tea mountain, he asked seemingly unintentionally: "You just said, what is the prototype of Ni Tang?" With dark glasses, he glanced at Xie Siwen: "I remember this is a story about a prisoner who was released after serving his sentence. Why, Chen Yao still has the experience of being in the police?"

"No." Xie Siwen's eyes began to drift left and right: "Just take me for talking nonsense."

"Why? Can't you say it?" Lu Shaoheng said with a smile: "As the producer and chief producer, if this movie has a prototype, I am always entitled to know it. If the prototype is big enough, it can still be used in the later announcement Got it."

"Oh, no." Xie Siwen rubbed his face, not knowing where to start.He didn't want to say it at first, but he saw that Lu Shaoheng didn't even care about Zhou Yang who had a real relationship with Chen Zhuo, let alone Bai Yueguang who was already married as a wife who couldn't ask for it.

So he pondered for a while, and said: "Remember that brother told you that it's okay to play with Chen Zhuo, but don't be emotional with him?"

"Hmm." Lu Shaoheng responded. Xie Siwen mentioned this matter when he and Chen Zhuo had just slept together.At that time, he wondered why Xie Siwen would say this suddenly, acting like a lover.

"Do you know Zhang Luyu?" Xie Siwen continued, and his tone became serious unconsciously: "That female director who is very popular in the world is now shooting in the United States, and she is also the wife of your photographer Bai Jie."

Lu Shaoheng nodded. Even if Bai Jie didn't mention the name Zhang Luyu, anyone who paid a little attention to the entertainment industry would know it.She is one of the most successful international directors in recent years, and her works are very popular at home and abroad.

"Zhang Luyu, Bai Jie, Chen Zhuo, and me, we used to live next to each other. They are five or six years older than me and Chen Zhuo." Xie Siwen chewed the peony, and took a big gulp of dozens of peony. In case of a catty of tea, he said slowly: "We played together when we were young. I have no special skills and have been doing nothing. Chen Zhuo became an actor, Bai Jie learned photography, and Zhang Luyu became a student of Mr. Chen Guangyu."

Chen Zhuo's father is a famous director, and his mother is a scientific research worker. Both of them focus on their work, and neither of them can take care of their son.

So when Chen Yao was young, he basically relied on his neighbors' elder brothers and sisters to take care of him.When there is no one at home, he lives in Zhang Luyu's or Bai Jie's house, and often stays for a month or two. The relationship between the three of them is deeper than that of siblings.

"Chen Yao has liked Zhang Luyu since he was a child. I don't know exactly how many years he has liked her." Xie Siwen put the teacup on the low table between the two of them, and looked at Lu Shaoheng: "People say that when you were young Friendship is the most difficult thing to replace, don’t look at the people around Lao Chen these years, it’s very lively, but in fact, no one has pretended to be in it.”

Lu Shaoheng didn't know what he thought of, and said lightly: "I can see it."

"Who knows that sister Lu Yu only treats him as a child, and likes Bai Jie. Hey, isn't this the kind of film you guys like to make? I like you, and you like my best brother." Xie Siwen As he spoke, he also became amused: "That's bloody."

"When Chen Zhuo first entered college, she went abroad for further studies, and then she simply stayed in the United States to make films." Xie Siwen continued.

Also in that year, regardless of his father's opposition, Chen Yan resolutely dropped out of the acting department and went to study directing. Maybe he wanted to catch up with Zhang Luyu and get closer to his sister.

"Shortly after that, Zhang Luyu and Bai Jie got married." Xie Siwen said, giving this love triangle an ending.

"Zhang Luyu and Bai Jie have been married for so long, and he still thinks about it." Hearing this, Lu Shaoheng couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect Chen Zhuo to be quite affectionate."

"Isn't it? You can see that he is still struggling with the movie, so it can be seen that he hasn't come out yet." Taking advantage of Chen Zhuo's absence, Xie Siwen arranged for him behind his back: "Maybe, he's still staring at it until now. Waiting for him affectionately, isn't he often played in TV dramas, the infatuated male second."

Chen Zhuo's steadfastness on the road of directing is probably influenced by Zhang Luyu.He is so obsessed with seeking upwards that he can become a person who can stand shoulder to shoulder with her, instead of being a younger brother forever. Even if she is married, this heart has not changed.

What a positive and inspirational love story, Lu Shaoheng thought, with a little irony.

"But Zhang Luyu came from a scholarly family and his career went smoothly. No matter how you look at it, she is a proud girl. How could she have anything to do with Ni Tang?" Lu Shaoheng felt strange.

"Ni Tang's story script was written by Zhang Luyu and Chen Zhuo together. The character, quality, and appearance of this character are all modeled after Lu Yu." Xie Siwen enthusiastically explained: "Zhang Luyu is a perfect person in his heart. muse, source of inspiration."

"So that's how it is." Lu Shaoheng said clearly, with a flat tone.

While the two were talking, a beautiful woman came over with a plate of fruit.She has a pretty face and a hot figure, and the tea ceremony dress like a sack looks very charming on her.

Xie Siwen stood up, hugged her into his arms, bowed his head and took a small kumquat in her hand with his mouth.

"That's the thing, you just know it, but don't say I told you." Before leaving with the beauty, Xie Siwen said to Lu Shaoheng in a rare and serious way: "If you get along well with Chen Zhuo, then continue to get along with me." , in short, don’t play with him for real.”

"Don't worry." Lu Shaoheng glanced at Xie Siwen indifferently, as if mocking him for his unnecessary actions: "Whatever I play with Chen Zhuo, I can't play it for real."

After Xie Siwen left, Lu Shaoheng got up and went to the terrace, leaned over the solid wooden railing, and looked at the lake at the foot of the mountain.

This piece of tea mountain is not high, standing on the top of the hill, people frolicking by the lake can be vaguely seen, Lu Shaoheng saw Chen Zhuo at a glance.

It seemed that he was inspired somewhere, and amidst the noise, Chen Zhuo raised his head and looked at Lu Shaoheng.

So Chen Zhuo saw him standing alone on a high platform surrounded by tea trees, looking very lonely.

But in the next second, Lu Shaoheng put his finger on his lips, and blew a kiss in Chen Zhuo's direction, which instantly destroyed the atmosphere.

Without waiting for Chen Zhuo's response, he stood up straight and turned away from his sight.
