Dead rivals overturned each other

Xu Zhuo was stunned, this was the first time he heard Zhou Liang say such words.

The Zhou Liang in his memory basically takes the initiative to do something for you, or take the initiative to talk to you, instead of saying those three words directly.

Words like "wrong" rarely appear in his words.

Zhou Mu rubbed against his ear, and said softly, "I won't do it in the future."

I don't know if it was Xu Zhuo's illusion, but he heard promises, discussions, and even imperceptible begging from these words.

When they were drunk, they had a more intimate position than hugging from behind, but Xu Zhuo now felt that it was the closest time they got close to each other, and this distance did not refer to the body.

The last trace of anger in Xu Zhuo's heart also dissipated.

Zhou Liang, who was ill, was exhausted, so he quickly turned to hugging, leaning against Xu Zhuo's back in a dependent position, "I always have a nightmare again and again."

Xu Zhuo's stiff shoulders relaxed so that he could lean more comfortably.

Zhou Liang's eyelashes trembled slightly, "It happened when I was six years old. A distant relative came to visit my house because of work. Because he had a bad relationship with my mother, he locked me in the warehouse when I wasn't paying attention. One day One night. It is very close to the back mountain, and there are many ugly insects, even wriggling snakes crawling in..."

Only then did Xu Zhuo realize why Zhou Liang was so afraid of insects.

Just hearing this passage, Xu Zhuo's heart ached.Six years old is the age when boys play like crazy, but Zhou Liang has to endure such psychological trauma.

Why should the grievances between adults involve children.

"Damn it, which idiot did it, tell me, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years, and I'll fuck him in 20 years!" Xu Zhuo became more and more angry as he thought about it.

Hearing Xu Zhuo's grievances for him, Zhou Liang finally let go of the tension in his heart.

He is not afraid of having nightmares, what he is afraid of is Xu Zhuo ignoring himself.

Xu Zhuo's anger was his nightmare when he was awake.

In fact, those who did evil back then are not considered distant relatives.

He is the younger brother of Zhou's father's ex-wife. He is in his early twenties and has just taken over the family business. The master spoiled the sky and lived a life of rich clothes and fine food, so evil thoughts arose in his heart.

Using a toy remote control car to lure Xiao Zhoulu to play in the open space at the back of the mountain. After taking the opportunity to get rid of the nanny, the true face of the brother was revealed. Without letting go, he locked it directly in the back mountain warehouse.

Throw down a sentence, "The illegitimate child will die a bad life." Then he left.

Little Zhou Liang had just arrived at Zhou's house, and had never been to the back mountain or the warehouse, and he didn't even know where to turn on the lights.The warehouse was far away, and Ren Xiaozhou was crying out loud, but no one heard him.

A day passed, and without food or water, he began to lie on the ground exhausted.

As the night grew darker, animals from the back mountain rushed in, and insects rang out all around, as if they were about to pounce on him in the next second.

He struggled to get up from the ground, but there was no way around. He even went to the window and saw a flower snake whose scales shone in the moonlight, and wrote long letters at him.

He couldn't scream anymore, because he was directly frightened and fainted.

Early the next morning, a worker wanted to enter the warehouse to get a ladder, only to find Zhou Liang who was almost collapsed.

The younger brother of the Huang family came prepared, avoiding all eyes and acting. Except for Zhou Liang's dictation, there was no evidence that the Huang family did it.

In addition to the fact that the two families have completely turned against each other, the Zhou family has installed cameras in all directions since this time, but Zhou Liang's temperament has changed drastically since then.

Become withdrawn and like to be alone, because it is difficult to trust a person again.

At a young age, he began to understand the meaning of "illegitimate child". Even though his grandfather said earnestly that he was not, it was just the negligence of his parents back then, and it was all the adults' fault.

But the eyes and broken words of others will always remind him of his identity.

Identity became the original sin.

He had thought that when he graduated from high school, he would go abroad, to a country where no one knew him.

It's just that all of this changed suddenly after meeting a new deskmate in the second year of high school.

Going abroad never appeared in his plans again.

His family always thought that his poor sleep quality was due to too much academic and work pressure, and this was the first time he mentioned the cause of his nightmares to others.

The nightmare is still there, but my heart is filled with other people and thoughts.

Zhou Mu's tightly clasped hands loosened slightly, Xu Zhuo wanted to get up, but he hugged him tightly almost subconsciously.

Xu Zhuo patted the back of his hand, "If I don't leave, just take something."

Only then did Zhou Mu slowly let go of his hands, his eyes were glued to Xu Zhuo's body, and he saw him trotting to the kitchen.

When he came back again, Xu Zhuo held a glass of water in his hand and handed it to Zhou Liang, "You moisten your throat."

Because of the fever, Zhou Liang was extremely thirsty. After taking the water, the wall of the cup felt warm to the touch. When he put it into his lips, he pondered, "Have you added honey?"

"Well, it tastes bad in your mouth when you're sick. I'm afraid you won't be able to drink it, so I added a little."

Xu Zhuo accidentally glanced at the cake box on the coffee table again, and checked the time on his phone, it was nine o'clock in the evening.

Fortunately, Zhou Liang's birthday has not yet passed.

"Did you make a wish today?"

Zhou Mu shook his head.

When the zero o'clock program team gave him the cake, he pretended to make a gesture of prayer. At that time, his heart was all tied to Xu Zhuo who was angry, and he had no intention of celebrating.

Xu Zhuo walked towards the coffee table, and Zhou Liang said behind him, "Bring the aromatherapy and dried flowers."

Yo, still so particular.

But the birthday party is the biggest, Xu Zhuo worked hard, and amidst the incense and flower fragrance, he lit the candles on the cake, "Make a wish to God."

Zhou Xing clasped his hands together, "My birthday wish is that my roommate can continue to share a room with me."

Xu Zhuo was speechless, "My name is God."

It was obvious that these words were meant for him.

He hurriedly said, "This one doesn't count, change to another one."

Zhou Mu's tone was quicker, "Why not? Where are you going to live?"

Xu Zhuo's tone was a little uncomfortable: "Because these are the facts and don't need to be realized."

Zhou Liang was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Xu Zhuo had really lost his temper and would not move away.

He leaned back against the comforter.

"Hurry up, hurry up, my hands are going to be sore, I'm tired from holding the cake all the time."

Zhou Mu clasped his hands together again. His wish this time seemed a little long, and he opened his eyes after a while to blow out the candles.

Xu Zhuo was a little curious, "What did you wish again?"

"It won't work if you say it." Zhou Liang didn't tell him.

Xu Zhuo thought to himself, how did you say it just now?The stinky brat is so thoughtful when he is sick.

"I want to eat cake." Zhou Mu said.

Xu Zhuo: "You can't eat it, you should eat something light."

Zhou Mu looked at the Q-version miniature of the two of them on the cake with stubbornness in his eyes.

Xu Zhuo felt that Zhou Liang gave him a very strange feeling when he was sick, and he was a little childish.

Couldn't bear to refuse him any more, in the end all the whipped cream poured into Xu Zhuo's stomach, and only the cake embryos inside were fed to Zhou Liang.

Zhou Liang's appetite was poor, and he couldn't eat after two mouthfuls. Just when the infusion was finished, Xu Zhuo asked, "Do you want to call the doctor?"

"Sleep overnight and then look at it." Zhou Mu said no.

Xu Zhuo closed the cake lid, wiped his mouth with a paper towel, and handed it to Zhou Liang as well.

Zhou Mu clutched the back of the hand that received the injection, as if unable to lift his hand.

Xu Zhuo had no choice but to hold this piece of paper, pretending to be fierce and slapped him on the mouth, "I advise you to get well soon tomorrow."

At the moment of touching, the movement became very gentle.

Zhou Liang leaned on the pillow, "Please be more patient with patients."

Xu Zhuo smiled politely, "Okay, Mr. Zhou, you can continue to sleep, I will wait until you fall asleep before leaving."

"You just left me here alone?" Zhou Mu asked, before Xu Zhuo could answer, he turned around, "Okay."

Then with his back to Xu Zhuo, the back looks as lonely as he wants, as lonely as he wants to be.

Xu Zhuo: "..."

Why do I have the illusion that I am a heartless person.

"I'm still a little uncomfortable." Zhou Mu suddenly said.

Xu Zhuo hurriedly leaned over and touched his forehead with his hand, "It seems that the fever has subsided a little, is it still uncomfortable?"

Zhou Liang's expression didn't change, "Maybe this bed is too big and empty, and when I turn over, I feel that I can't make it to the bottom, it's very empty."

Xu Zhuo: What?

Xu Zhuo thought in his heart that you have been sleeping in this bed for so many years, why do you feel empty today.

Zhou Liang lifted a corner of the quilt, patted the sheet, and signaled Xu Zhuo to come up.

Xu Zhuo also seemed to have a fever, and his face suddenly became hot, "Desperate, Zhou Liang, why are you still thinking about that when you are sick?"

Zhou Liang's tone lowered, and Xu Zhuo could hear a trace of grievance from it, "I'm just afraid of having another nightmare."

Xu Zhuo's heart softened instantly, "But I wasn't in the group last night... Where's your assistant?"

Zhou Mu's speech also became weak, "He has something to do today."

He coughed twice, "Anyway, the text messages in the early morning were not successfully matched, and there was no date. When I went back, I was still living in a villa."

Xu Zhuo was a little annoyed when he mentioned this.

In the first two times, Zhou Liang chose himself, but he did not choose him, so the pairing was unsuccessful.

This time he chose Zhou Mu, but he did not receive a text message that the pairing was successful.

Xu Zhuo put away the water glass and asked casually, "Who did you send the message to?"

Zhou Liang moved aside: "I'll tell you when you come up."

Xu Zhuo snorted, "I don't have to leave."

He thought that the family doctor or Xiao Jiazhen would come to watch the night, so he said he was going to leave, but if Zhou Liang was at home alone, he was worried.

"I'm not going to bed, I'll sleep somewhere else." Just kidding, the bed is such a sensitive place, he is worried that his animal nature will do something inappropriate to Zhou Liang who is still ill.

Zhou Liang looked apologetic, "There is only one bed at home, do you want to sleep in the kennel?"

Xu Zhuo rolled his eyes at him.

Zhou Liang reached out, took out one from the pile of beef jerky on the bedside table, and handed it to Xu Zhuo, "The bribe for going to bed."

Seeing the shiny tinfoil package, Xu Zhuo's heart softened completely.

He decisively took off his coat and got into the bed, where Zhou Liang's body temperature still remained.

The big quilt slept together, and they became ambiguous in an instant, and Xu Zhuo didn't even dare to turn his head to look at him.

Bisheng Zhou Liang still approached and whispered in his ear, "No one sent the text message. I lost you at that time, and I was in a hurry to find you."

Xu Zhuo's heart beat faster, his body slipped immediately, and he lay almost flat on the bed, with half of his face covered under the quilt.

It's terrible, it's better not to talk.

If you lose something, treat me like a doll.

The bed looked big, and the two men lay on it, and they would touch their bodies occasionally if they didn't pay attention.

Xu Zhuo closed his eyes, "Sleep and sleep."

But I felt Zhou Mu leaning over, getting closer and closer to his face...

What is this for?

Xu Zhuo couldn't help clenching his hands tightly under the quilt.

Should he respond?

I was thinking wildly.

But Zhou Mu's hand came up and gently parted his lips, "Let me see if your oral ulcer is better...why are you pouting?"

Xu Zhuo opened his eyes suddenly, and changed from lying flat to sitting up again. Damn it, he thought...

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt much today."

It seems that I can't sleep.

Xu Zhuo took out his mobile phone and prepared to play with it, diverting his attention tactically.

In fact, I don't know what to play. When I was at home during the day, he also scrolled through Weibo. The audience who watched the third episode also gave him good comments, and even got a lot of mother fans who are earnest.

Let him work harder and work harder on falling in love.

The mobile phone was quickly taken away by Zhou Liang.

Zhou Liang said: "It's rare to have a night's rest, let's not stare at the phone tonight."

Then take the lead to take out his mobile phone, unlock it, and turn it off.

Xu Zhuo felt that what he said was right, could it be that he escaped from the program group for a day and talked about the script for a day, at this time he really didn't want to touch any work anymore.

Follow his actions to turn off the phone.

I suddenly remembered Zhou Liang's unlock password, "130901, let me think about it... Isn't it the beginning of the second year of high school that day? Does it have any special meaning for you? Is it unforgettable?"

Zhou Liang nodded solemnly, "I will never forget it."

Xu Zhuo became interested and sat up straight to listen.

Zhou Liang seemed to be thinking about something, and laughed, "Probably because my clean days are over that day."

Xu Zhuo was a little confused when he heard this, but he quickly realized it.

If there was any change for Zhou Liang on the first day of the second year of high school, it would of course be to be at the same table with him.

This is to say that he is making a fuss!

Xu Zhuo raised his hand to twist Zhou Mu's forearm, his thumb and index finger touched his skin, but when he thought that he was sick, he snorted coldly, "I'll forgive you today."

But Zhou Mu grabbed his wrist, pushed him onto the pillow, and looked at him from top to bottom.

Xu Zhuo swallowed, "You, what are you doing?"

At this time, Zhou Liang's actions were extremely aggressive, but his bangs were soft and inexplicably obedient, and he looked down at him: "Didn't you say that you want to be the master tonight?"

Xu Zhuo's breathing became short of breath, and he realized that the decision he was talking about was the last time he scrambled for it and lost.

About the initiative of stand-in night.

Zhou Mu lightly scratched the tip of his nose, "Today, I will give you a chance to think about it."

Then back away and lie back in your position.

Xu Zhuo saw the ceiling again, and breathed a sigh of relief as if reborn after a catastrophe.

Isn't this person sick? Why is he still so energetic?

Then he is not polite.

Zhou Xing rested one hand on the back of his neck, "Anything is fine, I won't refuse."

Today, he will make up for Xu Zhuo as much as possible.

Xu Zhuo looked very happy, "That's great! I've thought about this for a long time."

Zhou Liang clenched his fists on the back of his head. Although he was weak after taking the medicine, he was not unable to move.

He is confident that even if he is sick, he can give Xu Zhuo a good experience.

He said in a tone of grace, "Speak."

Xu Zhuo moved his pillows closer to his and lay down in rows, "I want to know everything about you in the past seven years."

Zhou Mu was stunned for a moment.

I thought Xu Zhuo would propose something suitable for doing at night.

Didn't expect this to happen.

"Are you sure? The chance may be this once forever, why don't you think about it again." Zhou Liang asked him.

Xu Zhuo nodded, "Yeah!"

Zhou Liang had no choice but to adjust his sitting posture, naturally leaning half of his head on his shoulder.

"Suddenly asked me to say it, but I can't think of anything worth saying." Closing his eyes, all he could think of was the one month after reuniting with Xu Zhuo.

In those seven years, it seemed that besides filming, I was still filming.

Xu Zhuo said: "Anything, good or bad."

Without my involvement.

So Zhou Liang talked about whatever came to his mind.

Xu Zhuo listened quietly, afraid of missing any word.

As if thinking of something, Zhou Liang's tone turned helpless, "Once, Zhou Lingyu sent me a message, insisting that I go to her school to pick her up after school. I thought she had something to do, and it happened that she didn't have a job that day, so I went, and it turned out that Then she sent a text message saying that she made a mistake and was invited by the parents, so I went to the office to find her. In the office, there was only one female teacher in her class waiting for me."

Xu Zhuo understood almost instantly, "Could it be...a blind date?"

Zhou Mu hummed, "My mother arranged it."

Xu Zhuo shrugged his shoulders with a smile, "How is the female teacher? Have you gotten along with her? Why didn't your mother tell you directly."

"The person should be very nice, but there is no follow-up, and the contact information has not been exchanged." Zhou Liang only answered the first two questions.

He thought of another thing: "After I moved out of my house and lived alone, I wanted to have a pet. When I went to the Maltese kennel to pick up puppies, I didn't intend to burn this one because the others were very lively. Zhuozhuo is very quiet, and everyone who has pets tends to pick the ones that are active."

"Then why did you choose him?"

Zhou Liang couldn't help laughing, "It was winter, and it looked out the window alone in the corner. But because of the heating in the room, the glass was foggy, so it couldn't see clearly, so it licked the fog on the window with its tongue. After the glass was clear again, then Continue to stare out the window in a daze, doesn't he look like a fool..."

He stopped halfway through, and Xu Zhuo asked, "Like what?"

Zhou Mu coughed lightly, "So it became a member of my family. By the way, let's talk about a magical thing during the art exam."

Xu Zhuo had also passed the art test, and he immediately became interested, and immediately put the question behind him, "What kind of magic method?"

Zhou Liang: "I entered three exams, and a group of three acted in a skit. Besides me, there were two other girls. The theme that was drawn at that time was "misunderstanding". The three of us discussed a love triangle design. The ground is how our performance has a sense of life, and there is no trace of performance.

"In the end, one girl was too involved in the drama, and she really slapped the other girl hard, and the two got into a fight in the examination room."

Xu Zhuo was dumbfounded, "Is this all right?"

Thinking about it now, Zhou Liang can't help feeling admiration, "Then because I played the role of a bewildered boyfriend to the fullest, including two bowls of water when persuading the fight, I finally got the certificate by myself."

Xu Zhuo said: "I always thought that you would inherit the family business, but I never thought you would come to study art."

Zhou Liang was silent for a moment, "When I first entered the school, my studies were not very smooth. My acting skills were far behind in the class, and I was not a particularly lively personality. Fortunately, I met a very good teacher. He said that I The basic skills are too bad, but the observation ability is better than ordinary people. With my hands in hand, my professional ability has gradually improved. The teacher also said that personality does not matter, just find a reliable agent to run business. Later, I met Brother Tao. My agent, he didn't come with this recording."

Xu Zhuo thought to himself, the Zhou Liang he had never seen in the past seven years was the Zhou Liang who was changing and growing subtly.

"By the way, why did you drop out of school to study art?" He finally asked the confusion in his heart.

But he didn't hear the answer, Xu Zhuo looked down, and Zhou Liang's eyes gradually blurred.

Is he still sick and exhausted, and now he is tired again.

Xu Zhuo was about to let him go to sleep, and after holding his shoulders to make him lie flat, Xu Zhuo tucked his quilt:

"Zhou Mu, you said you were wrong, do you know where you went wrong?"

Zhou Liang was too sleepy to open his eyes, "I know."

Xu Zhuo: "Then tell me."

Zhou Liang's lips parted slightly, "I broke the law."

Xu Zhuo was puzzled, "What method?"

Zhou Liang murmured, "I violated Xu Zhuo's law."

Xu Zhuo curled his lower lip slightly, "Oh, go to sleep."

……

A dreamless night, a rare good sleep.

The moment Zhou Liang woke up, his limbs were still sore and weak after the illness, but the sleeping person in front of him made him feel relieved.

Even though the sky outside the window is still gloomy, the square inch of the bed inside the house is also bright and just right.

Zhou Liang stared at Xu Zhuo.

The other party was like the wooden house trapped on the mountainside after heavy snow blocked the mountain. In the empty house, there was only a warm bonfire in front of it.

Zhou Liang is a swarm of insects chasing light all over the mountains and plains, unconsciously moving closer to the bonfire, and even closer.

His fingers gently touched Xu Zhuo's cheek.

Feeling itchy, Xu Zhuo's eyelashes trembled, and he opened his eyelids.

Looking at Zhou Mu who was full of tenderness, his awakened consciousness became confused again in an instant. He had never imagined Zhou Mu like this, even in a dream.

The mechanical sound of the sweeping robot and the ticking of the wall clock were all silenced at this moment.

In the next moment, Zhou Liang's fingertips changed from stroking to pinching, and half of Xu Zhuo's white and tender cheeks were instantly distorted by him.

"Ow—"

Xu Zhuo patted Zhou Liang's hand away angrily, "Looking at the way you owe your hand, you must be almost cured of your illness!"

It was definitely because he didn't wake up just now, and he was just thinking about it.

He stretched out his hand to touch Zhou Liang's forehead, he was completely relieved, the fever finally subsided.

He woke up several times in the middle of the night, for fear that Zhou Liang's condition would relapse during the night.

Xu Zhuo lifted the quilt, Zhou Liang frowned slightly, "Sleep a little longer."

"I have work today, I have an appointment with a friend, and I have to leave later. You sleep a little longer, and I will get up and cook some porridge for you." Xu Zhuo went to the bathroom, "Do you have a disposable toothbrush or something..."

"I'll help you find it." Zhou Liang also sat up from the bed.

Xu Zhuo pushed open the door of the bathroom, and unexpectedly discovered that there was a brand-new set of toiletries on the sink, including towels, which had not been opened yet, "Don't worry about it, I found it."

Zhou Mu remembered that those utensils were scattered in the cabinet, but he didn't expect that he could find them so soon.Just as he was thinking, he walked to the bathroom door and found Xu Zhuo holding a shopping bag with a supermarket logo in his hand.

This thing is also very unfamiliar to Zhou Liang, and he guessed that Xiao Jiazhen bought it by the way when he was delivering the aromatherapy and flowers yesterday, so it is still on his mind.

Xu Zhuo took out a lot of things from the plastic bag, including facial cleanser and makeup remover, and finally there was a rectangular box left.

"What is this, toner..."

Zhou Liang looked at it through the translucent plastic bag, and his heart was inexplicably shocked. He snatched the plastic bag and threw it to the top cabinet like a shot.

"Nothing, just a mess."

Xu Zhuo was puzzled and asked again.

Zhou Liang rubbed his stomach, "I'm hungry, I didn't expect it to be noon when I woke up."

Xu Zhuo just squeezed the toothpaste, thinking about washing up and cooking.

Zhou Mu backed away and stayed at the door until he watched Xu Zhuo go to the kitchen before he breathed a sigh of relief.

His assistant is so considerate. Not only did he prepare things for others to spend the night in advance, but he even prepared a large box full of covers. I really don't know whether to give him a salary increase or deduct his salary.

When the porridge was fragrant, the doorbell rang.

After Zhou Mu opened the door, "..."

Outside the door is his caring assistant who is busy with after-sales service.

With food in his hand, Xiao Jiazhen winked at the disheveled Zhou Liang, "Did the boss have a good birthday last night? I guess you must have just woken up now, and prepared some brunch for you and the future boss... ..."

A head stuck out from behind Zhou Liang's shoulder, "What lady boss?"

Xiao Jiazhen was stunned, "Huo... Teacher Xu, why are you here?"

Zhou Mu was about to let him go, but Xu Zhuo invited him in.

Xiao Jiazhen, who entered the room, was completely confused. Didn't his boss want to make some kind of candlelight dinner yesterday, so why is he so hot here?

There was no one else in the house.

Looking back at the infusion bag by the bed, Xiao Jiazhen hurriedly said: "Mr. Xu, are you sick?"

Xu Zhuo shook his head, pointed at Zhou Liang, "It's him."

Xiao Jiazhen panicked, "Boss, why didn't you tell me that you were sick? What's wrong with you? Change your clothes quickly and we'll go to the hospital now, quickly..."

Xiao Jiazhen didn't feel relieved until Zhou Liang said several times that he was fine.

It turned out that the boss was sick last night, and the candlelight dinner was probably ruined. Huo Huo didn't know whether he voluntarily or was forced to take care of the boss.

Xu Zhuo glanced suspiciously at the boss and employees. Didn't Zhou Liang say that Xiao Jiazhen had something to do last night, but they didn't even know that he was sick.

Zhou Liang avoided Xu Zhuo's gaze and rubbed his neck.

At the same time, I made a choice in my heart, and I should deduct the salary of this "intimate" assistant.

Xu Zhuo went back to serve the porridge, the corners of his lips curled uncontrollably, that Zhou Mu must have kept him on purpose last night.

The delicacies brought by Xiao Jiazhen naturally fell into the stomachs of Xu Zhuo and Xiao Jiazhen. Zhou Liang drank Xu Zhuo's porridge, sip after sip, seemed quite satisfied, and even drank it all.

Zhou Liang continued to rest at home during the day, and sent Xiao Jiazhen to drive Xu Zhuo to work.

"I'll see you at the villa tonight." Xu Zhuo waved his hand, holding the kettle filled with the lemon green tea made for him by Zhou Liang, and walked out the door gracefully.

Zhou Mu watched him get into the elevator, and then looked away.

……

Xiao Jiazhen sent Xu Zhuo to a shopping mall, and the latter met Peng Xiaoyang and bought some health care products, tobacco and alcohol.

They were going to visit their alumni today, a director who was three years older than them.After graduating, the senior participated in the venture capital meeting of the Youth Film Festival to show off his skills, and soon devoted himself to the shooting of feature films.After a crime film shot last year was released in theaters, it earned a box office of less than [-] million yuan, and it has emerged among the new generation of directors.

The senior's surname is Zou. His success is not only due to his outstanding personal strength, but also due to the fact that he has a good producer who oversees the entire production process of the film. This producer is a senior from the management department of their school. .

They used to be a couple on campus, but now they are married.

The two of Xu Zhuo went to their house today to pull them into the team in one fell swoop.

The "Blind Spot" project is currently short of a producer, and no one is going to coordinate the entire progress, so today's trip is particularly important.

The senior sister and the senior are not acquainted with each other, but they got in touch through a friend. They have sent the script in advance, and senior sister Cheng took the initiative to invite them to discuss today.

Chen Qiliang was going to go with him today, but the advertisement for Xu Zhuo's Black Sesame Pill endorsement has already been released, so he has to review the film today, so he doesn't have time.

Xu Zhuo was worried that Zhou Liang, who had just recovered from a serious illness, needed anything at home, so after Xiao Jiazhen sent them to a small bungalow in Dongcheng District, City B, he immediately let him go back.

Peng Xiaoyang rang the doorbell, and Xu Zhuo tightened the gift box in his hand, feeling a little confident about today's meeting.First of all, it is out of confidence in the script, and secondly, during this period of time dealing with former classmates, I found that the four words of not forgetting the original intention actually exist in life. Although everyone has different personalities, the idea of ​​​​working into a good work is Common.

The aunt dressed as a nanny opened the door for them, smiling, "Mr. Xu, Mr. Peng, right? Please come in, please come in. The husband and wife are having an impromptu video conference. I really can't leave. Please let me apologize to you two." , please wait a moment in the living room."

It's just asking for something from others, so it doesn't matter if they wait for a while.

Xu Zhuo sat on the sofa in the living room, and inadvertently looked at the furnishings in the house. The three-story building with a light and luxurious style is all exquisitely decorated.In my memory, the family background of these two senior sisters and seniors is ordinary. When they first graduated, they even shared the rent with others. It seems that the past two years have indeed been prosperous in the circle.

Most of the students of the same age are still struggling to save the down payment for the house, just like Peng Xiaoyang.

This waited for nearly an hour.

The coffee in front of Peng Xiaoyang had already been drunk, and he didn't know if it was because of sex. His nerves were inexplicably tense, and he whispered in Xu Zhuo's ear:

"They look very busy, will they look down on our project?"

Xu Zhuo didn't speak, but looked at the time on his phone.

Just at this time, footsteps sounded, and the two looked up at the same time, and then quickly got up to say hello.

Director Zou was wearing casual home clothes. Although he was young, he had already grown a beard. He looked not energetic and nodded.Producer Cheng wore a relatively formal sweater with a low ponytail, and greeted him kindly, "Everyone, please be casual, don't be so formal, we're going to relax like a friend gathering today. Do you want something to eat? I'll ask Auntie will do it."

Xu Zhuo hurriedly told her not to be polite, saying that they all came after breakfast.

Peng Xiaoyang is good at writing skills, and he is not very good at speaking, so he can only smile and nod following Xu Zhuo's words, "Senior sister, that book..."

Producer Cheng took the corn silk tea from his aunt and said with a smile, "I've read the book and it's very touching. I even wet two pieces of paper with tears. I was laughed at by Lao Zou."

Peng Xiaoyang felt inspired, and was about to say more, when he heard the voice of Cheng Producer changed, "Xu Zhuo, you seem to be participating in a variety show recently? This variety show is not bad recently, but I have been a little busy and haven't had time to watch it. How do you feel?" ?”

Xu Zhuo took the words, "Don't mention it. I have to say that people's adaptability is really strong. At first, I was not used to being followed by cameras. I felt that someone was staring at me all the time. After a few days, I could ignore it."

Peng Xiaoyang wanted to talk to Director Zou, but the latter took out a bag of feed from the coffee table, walked to the bathtub, and fed the turtle leisurely.

Producer Cheng is very talkative. He talked about his experience in planning variety shows when he just graduated, and talked about going back to his alma mater in two days to give some open classes to his classmates.

Peng Xiaoyang impatiently kicked Xu Zhuo under the table.

Xu Zhuo peeled an orange for him without making a fuss, and continued to casually chat with Producer Cheng.

After chatting about family affairs for about 10 minutes, Cheng Producer finally asked the nanny to bring the printed script from the room.

Xu Zhuo sat on the edge of the sofa, while Peng Xiaoyang straightened his back and looked at her expectantly.

"Although the story is a same-sex theme and relatively niche, since the same-sex marriage bill was passed, this type of film has a certain degree of support, and the number of release days and market are also guaranteed, so there is a lot of investment potential. The script is also considered by me. Passed, social horror painters and visually impaired youths, paid attention to marginalized groups in society, and had a certain degree of topicality..."

Peng Xiaoyang was overjoyed, what could be more gratifying than being recognized by professionals for his creations.

Xu Zhuo then heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that something went wrong if he didn't get into the topic for a long time.

Producer Cheng said in a warm tone, "But you also know that the success of a work is inseparable from the operation of the entire team. The screenwriter only looks at the text level, and it is best to intervene in the early stages of shooting and production."

Xu Zhuo heard the middle of her words, "May I ask what your senior sister thinks?"

Producer Cheng looked at Director Zou. After hearing Xu Zhuo's words, the latter finally put down the feed and patted his palms, "If you want me to talk about this book, I have to change it."

"Ah, how to change it?" Peng Xiaoyang asked hurriedly.

Director Zou sat back in the center of the sofa, "It is obvious that there are too few conflicts. The scene changes are either a blind man's home or a painter's villa, and they are all indoor scenes. There is no such hysterical strong conflict, and the audience doesn't like to watch it."

Peng Xiaoyang explained: "But its psychological conflict is very strong, but the emotional expression is more restrained..."

Director Zou interrupted him, "I know what you mean. Who hasn't watched "Brokeback Mountain?" For example, the two male protagonists in "Brokeback Mountain" both have wives. The setting of the same wife is the most topical. We can also set the painter to have a wealthy wife who has been married for many years, or the blind man to have other physical disabilities. Wife, does cheating in marriage sound more interesting? We can still use it when we promote it, the domestic version of "Brokeback Mountain"..."

Xu Zhuo frowned imperceptibly.

Peng Xiao also felt very uncomfortable when he heard it, but Goofy came second. The main reason is that the perception of copying like this is very bad. Without originality, it is more like making it for the sake of gaining popularity.

"My character settings are deep enough, maybe there is no need for such redundant settings, so as not to appear complicated..." Peng Xiaoyang said more tactfully.

Director Zou interrupted him again, "The characters are not important, but the plot is important. It is a spectacle production. Your subject matter limits you to not be able to shoot high-concept things, but we can change the background, for example, to the period of the Republic of China. Generations and blind people, the moment is more emotional, right? It would be even better if we add some war movies, we want to make blockbuster movies, better financing, and more money.”

Xu Zhuo participated in this project as an actor, and it was inconvenient to intervene in many behind-the-scenes creative opinions, but at this time he couldn't help but say, "Senior, as an actor, I often have to study role performance, and I have some opinions on characters, let me say more One sentence. The plot is as important as the characters, if it’s just some stylized characterization, no matter how wonderful the plot is, it will make the story look empty.”

"Huh? Aren't you an idol? Oh, yes, I almost forgot that you are from the acting department." After hearing his words, Director Zou's face hardened a little, and he asked himself this question.

Xu Zhuo opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.

Peng Xiaoyang's tone was a little excited, "Perhaps some genre films can be tricked like this, but the literary and artistic orientation of "Blind Spot" absolutely cannot weaken the characters. No matter what I say, I will not make such changes."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit frozen, Producer Cheng hurriedly smiled and came out to smooth things over, "Everything is easy to discuss, I have a good proposal.
