billion box office tycoon

Ye Weilin and Fu Qi made an appointment to meet in a more secluded bar.

He was always on time and arrived 10 minutes earlier, but Fu Qi seemed to be waiting there early. Looking at this posture, he felt that his premonition was about to be verified.

"Where's your family?" Seeing Ye Weilin coming alone, Fu Qi couldn't help but think of the phrase "family" on the phone, and couldn't help laughing.

"Didn't you bring it too?" Ye Weilin asked back.

The two laughed at the same time, Ye Weilin was not polite after sitting down, and directly ordered two glasses of the highest alcohol alcohol.

"I know I can't hide it from you." Fu Qi sighed, without being pretentious, filled a glass with the wine bottle that was just served and drank it in one gulp.

"Why do you want to leave again?" Ye Weilin didn't quite understand this point. It was understandable to leave without saying goodbye before, but now, Fu and Qi's careers have just started, why are they suddenly leaving again?

Fu Qi didn't speak, he drank a glass and continued to fill another glass.

After a while, he finally said: "Jiang Lan has depression, you should know it? She suddenly became serious some time ago, and there are more professional and systematic treatments abroad, so I want to take her away."

"More serious?" Ye Weilin, who also suffered from depression in her previous life, is no stranger to "depression". The seriousness that others say is more difficult than I imagined.

"It's my fault too..."

In the other party's self-talk, he restored the truth of the matter.

"Happy Face" made Jiang Lan win the Best Actress Award at the Academy Awards, but at the same time, the media took advantage of the opportunity to report her past as a porn star.The overwhelming pornographic photos and the so-called "Jiang Lan XX video" spread all over the Internet, even if it is done in public relations, it will not help.

Seeing his girlfriend's pain during this period, Fu Qi proposed to her, hoping to dilute the damage caused by the media and fill the other party's lack of sense of security.

Jiang Lan agreed.

Fu Qi excitedly planned the wedding of the two, and told the news to the family members who had always disapproved of the two being together.

"I don't expect them to come to the wedding venue, but I have to tell them about the marriage." Fu Qi shook his head and smiled wryly: "Who knows, this has stabbed a hornet's nest. My mother knows my temper, so she won't follow me." I said, but contacted Jiang Lan."

What Fu Qi's mother said to Jiang Lan is no longer important. Anyone can guess most of it. Since then, Jiang Lan's condition has worsened, and Fu Qi, who is caught between his family and his girlfriend, chose to leave again.

"You stay with her well." Ye Weilin didn't know what to say, so he could only pat the other party's shoulder and pour another glass of wine for himself and for the other party.

"Don't worry, I will come back sooner or later. The next time you see me, either at the wedding or at the best director award ceremony."

The two drank both bottles of wine, and went home when they were barely drunk.

What Ye Weilin didn't expect at the time was that this was the last time they saw each other.

"South to North" has finally set a release date in China. Because the characteristics of the film are not suitable for young people and children to watch, most of them are scheduled to midnight by theaters.

In addition to the premiere requiring the lead actor to attend, neither Ye Yin nor Ye Yin participated in the following promotional schedule, but Ye Weilin, who was quite leisurely, took Yin Lan to watch the movie again at midnight on a certain day.

Yin Lan, who was sitting in the dark quietly watching all kinds of seductive gestures in the film, was embarrassed to tell the other party that this was the film he had directed the most times.

The box office of this movie was not what Xingyu expected. The ambitious Xingyu sent the movie to the competition before the deadline for this year's Golden Horse Awards.It will take at least three months for the process of film primary selection-review-awarding to be completed. During this period, Xingyu didn't let him relax and kept sending him scripts for selection.

And Yin Lan finally graduated.

After graduation, Yin Lan started to get busy. Ye Weilin planned to rest for a while before continuing to work, but he himself is not a person who can relax. Preparation stage.

The busy life of going out early and returning late should be tiring, but Ye Weilin, who already belongs to him, feels more at ease than ever. He feels that this kind of life is what he has been longing for.

Just when he thought that this ordinary happiness would last forever, he was suddenly broken by a bad news.

It was an early morning like usual, the sun at five or six o'clock was not enough to illuminate the entire ground, and the hazy skylight failed to wake up the two, but they were woken up by a phone ringing.

Enduring hesitation, Ye Weilin picked up the phone, got out of bed and walked out of the balcony before it rang a second time.

He knew that no one would call his personal number at this time if it wasn't something extremely urgent.

The screen displayed a series of unfamiliar numbers, but Ye Weilin connected it with a feeling of uneasiness——

"Hey?"

There was no response from the other end, and a tense silence lasted for so long that he couldn't help but say "Hello" again, only then did a man's hoarse voice come from the other side: "It's me."

"Fu Qi?!" Ye Weilin exclaimed in surprise, and then he couldn't believe it. When did Fu Qi's voice become so hoarse?

"What's the matter, has something happened?" Ye Weilin was full of doubts, and the uneasiness in his heart gradually fermented.

"..." After another unnerving silence, a sentence came: "Velin, I just want to say thank you, and... I'm sorry."

After speaking, the other party hung up the phone.

The doubts in Ye Weilin's heart expanded, and a strong uneasiness prompted him to call back the number repeatedly, but the other party never answered.

After searching the area to which this string of strange numbers belonged, Ye Weilin was surprised to find that it belonged to Hong Kong Island. He remembered meeting not long ago, and Fu Qi also said that he would take Jiang Lan to France.

Wait, Jiang Lan?

Ye Weilin reacted instantly, and immediately called Jiang Lan, but no one answered.

He realized that the situation was wrong, and immediately contacted Luo Mao. The other party returned to Hong Kong for a business trip last week and hadn't come back yet, so he just asked him to check the number.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he made a call, the other party answered in seconds. He didn't say anything, but the other party spoke first, and what he said was no less than a bolt from the blue: "William, you also know that Jiang Lan committed suicide by jumping off the building." Is something wrong? IKEA's media coverage is really fast... Hey..."

Ye Weilin finally understood why Fu Qi called him that phone call. Thinking of the tone of the other party's words just now, he couldn't help but feel cold in his heart, and interrupted the other party: "Where is Jiang Lan's accident?"

"Yufeng Overseas Chinese Hotel? Alright, I'm booking a plane ticket to go there now, you can contact Fu Qi for help, if you can't reach him, call the police directly, please."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Weilin didn't dare to delay for a moment, and set off immediately after booking the earliest flight back to Hong Kong at [-]:[-], without even having time to say goodbye to Yin Lan.

When he arrived at the airport on Hong Kong Island, he had already received several calls from Luo Mao, saying that Jiang Lan jumped from the 90.00th floor of the Yufeng Overseas Chinese Hotel at two o'clock in the morning and died on the spot. The remains were handled properly, but they left suddenly when they were being recorded by the police, and no one has been found so far.Originally, it was [-]% likely to be a suicide case, but due to Fu Qi's disappearance, it became confusing.

The media on Hong Kong Island have their own channels to catch wind, and even the disappearance of Fu Qi was quickly reported.

Now Ye Weilin only needs to look at his phone, and there are overwhelming news about Jiang Lan jumping to his death.And there are more than a dozen missed calls on his personal mobile phone, and there are many messages. Most of the people around him know his relationship with Fu Qi Jianglan, and they all ask him for information.

Ye Weilin felt powerless for a while, and the ominous premonition was always lingering in his heart. Fu Qi's "thank you" was like a farewell, so calm but without hesitation.

……

Ye Weilin stayed in Hong Kong Island for two full months. During this period, he provided the police with the information of Fu Qi's last phone call, dealt with Jiang Lan's funeral, and even contacted Fu Qi's family several times. Qi's father didn't come, and although his mother's face showed a trace of sadness from time to time, most of the time she mentioned her dissatisfaction with Jiang Lan.

The police obtained Fu Qi's whereabouts on the day of Jiang Lan's accident. Through the electronic monitoring of several sections of the road, he took a taxi alone to the uninhabited sea, and then disappeared completely. The electronic monitoring failed to capture his next whereabouts.

The police organized several salvage operations without any results, not even a piece of clothing was recovered.

Not long after, Fu Qi's family left, and in a few days, even the media would stop following him. Only Ye Weilin was still waiting, waiting for a miracle to appear.

The miracle Ye Weilin was waiting for did not appear, but Yin Lan who left all work and followed came.

As soon as the two met, without saying a word, Yin Lan stepped forward and hugged him tightly.

The opponent's strength was great, but Ye Weilin didn't feel any discomfort at all. He even felt that only by exerting such strength could he feel the belated power that only belonged to life.

"Shall we go back?" Yin Lan said softly.

"Well, go back." Ye Weilin, who was not wavered by anyone's persuasion to leave, didn't resist anymore. He hugged Yin Lan like he was hugging the whole world.

The 57th Golden Horse Awards Ceremony was held as scheduled at the Taipei Sports Center. The scene was brightly lit, the big names gathered, and the stars were shining, just like every night that touched people's hearts in the past.

The host standing on the stage is Lin Zhi, a national treasure actor known as the "Pearl of the Orient". Through her voice, "Best Actress", "Best Actor", and even the most important "Best Film" All have gone to various companies, and in the end only the suspense of "Best Director" has not yet been announced.

Ye Weilin, who had been nominated, didn't feel the slightest bit of tension in his heart, so when Lin Zhi blurted out his name, his expression remained unchanged.

Ye Weilin thanked the congratulatory crowd, and calmly stepped onto the stage he had always longed for.

"First of all, thank you for your kindness..." He looked at the audience with a smile, reading the manuscript that had already been typed.Some of the people in the audience, he knew, some didn't know, some were his partners, some were competitors, there may be sincere blessings in those eyes, or they may be indifferent from the sidelines, or they may be unable to hide their loss , but no matter what the mentality of the people in the audience is, he is very grateful.Because next, they are about to witness one of the most important things to him.

"To be able to achieve today's achievements is inseparable from my partner," Ye Weilin paused, as if talking to himself, and as if speaking to someone: "I should also say thank you to you."

This somewhat thoughtless sentence attracted the attention of many people, but was quickly attracted by the next sentence: "It is also inseparable from my lover." Ye Weilin paused for a while, ignoring the media He started to take pictures crazily, and booed on and off the stage, and continued: "My boyfriend, Yin Lan."

"Wow--"

"Ah?! Did I hear wrong?!"

"My God!"

"Great, bless you!"

……

In the face of gossip, celebrities also showed all kinds of melon-eating gestures like ordinary people, screaming, booing, and even artists who have disclosed their homosexual orientation spontaneously stood on the stage to help him out.

Yin Lan in the audience smiled. He stood up when Ye Weilin mentioned him.

But he didn't stand on the stage immediately.

He looked up at this man, the man he had always admired since he was young, and finally, finally... his wish came true, his dream came true.

From the stage to the stage, and then to his side, Yin Lan felt that this short journey seemed as long as a lifetime.

After Ye Weilin took Yin Lan's hand, he sincerely expressed his gratitude to the people on and off the stage. Facing the media who were about to hit their faces with short cannonballs, they were all soft-spoken, not a bit nervous: "Thank you for your love, I hope I didn't spoil the show and spoil this awards ceremony."

After hearing what he said, many media were shocked to realize that the party was not over yet, so they had no choice but to suspend the interview.

The two took the opportunity to return to their seats, and took the opportunity to leave early.

Although it has been made public, they don't want to face all kinds of attacks from the media so early.So before the Taiwanese media could react, the two left overnight from Taipei Airport.

Since the Golden Horse Awards has a live broadcast platform, the news that the two are together has spread all over the Internet before the party is over.

There are both positive and negative comments, but generally speaking, most of them are blessings. Even the negative comments are not purely against homosexuality, but criticize the guardianship relationship between him and Yin Lan, or feel that Ye Weilin is too selfish , for the sake of one's own desires, Yin Lan's expected career as an actor was cut off, and some people even commented that Ye Weilin was a pedophile, and that it was a crime to induce minors to have sex, and so on.

These comments have been thought of as early as when preparing to disclose the relationship, but who cares?

Ye Weilin used to care about it, but later he realized that ignoring the loss and anxiety of the other party under the guise of being good for the other party is the real scum.

Due to the exhaustion of running around all day, both of them were extremely tired, so they simply washed and fell asleep.

When he fell asleep at first, Ye Weilin was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyelids, but then he became more and more energetic. He glanced at Yin Lan's defenseless and peaceful sleeping face, and was afraid of waking her up again and again, so he had to enter the room that he hadn't entered for a long time. "Best director system", let the system force his body into a dormant state.

The last time I returned to the system was a month ago. The system stipulates that if you do not enter the system for more than 30 days in real time, you will leave the system and die.

But because too many things happened recently, although he entered the system on time every time, he never calmed down and studied every time, let alone creating movies in the system.

As soon as Xiaolu, who was like a cute dumpling, saw him, he happily congratulated him: "Master, congratulations on achieving the achievement of "Famous Director"."

Only then did Ye Weilin recall that as long as he wins the A-level award in the domestic director category in reality, he can achieve the third-level achievement of the title of "Famous Director".

The first level is the title of "intern", who is new to the system.The second level is the title of 'ordinary director', which can be achieved by actually obtaining the B-level award in the domestic director category.The highest level is the title of "Best Director", and the requirement is to win an A-level award in the international director category in reality.

Each level has a time limit for completion. Fortunately, Ye Weilin is still a relatively prolific director. Before the time to reach the second level, he has already reached the third level.

Ye Weilin recalled the scene when he first got the system, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Now that he finally has the time and mood to stay in the system for a while, he decided to look for a few movies on the list first, and relieve his boredom by the way.

He originally wanted to choose one from the box office list to watch, but by accident, he was attracted by the title of the top column of the new list on the home page: "Negative".

The title of the movie is weird, but it climbed to the first place on the list of newcomers.

Ye Weilin clicked on it, and then his eyes suddenly widened——

"burden"

Director: Intern 2345674 (no nickname yet)

Protagonist names: Fu Qi, Ye Weilin, Jiang Lan

……

After a long time, he pressed the button to enter the "virtual cinema".

Ye Weilin's surroundings suddenly became dark, and the dim broken light dimly reflected several rows of seats, showing many figures, and there were no empty seats, just like the way "Bitter Sea Mercy" was shown in the theater back then.

He stared at the virtual screen in mid-air, and then smiled.

May you, in another world, be the best director.
