Fang Shaoyi's car stopped downstairs, Yuan Ye tilted his head with a smile: "Go upstairs and sit for a while?"
"No more sitting, you go up and rest early." Fang Shaoyi said.
Yuan Ye didn't say much, just nodded "um", and then said, "I'll call you back."
"Okay." Fang Shao replied with a smile.
After Yuan Ye went upstairs, Fang Shaoyi withdrew the smile on his face and frowned slightly. It just so happened that a call came in at this time, Fang Shao turned on the speakerphone and drove away.
The first thing Yuan Ye did when he came back was to go home. He went back to his parents, and he didn't come back after walking for half a year. He took the key and opened the door and came in. The old lady surprised him, Yuan Ye quickly said, "Don't panic, me."
"When did you come back?" The old lady showed obvious surprise on her face, took out a piece of paper and wiped her hands, and came over to pick up the things in Yuan Ye's hand.
Yuan Ye put his arm around her and said, "I came back today. I slept at home in the afternoon and came over when I woke up. Where's the professor?"
"Professor has gone to paint," Mom patted Yuan Ye's back, her eyes crooked with laughter, "I'm thin, I'm really thin this time."
"I also know that I have lost weight," Yuan Ye said with a smile, "the crew's meal is not delicious."
Yuan Ye called his dad and asked, "Professor, where do you paint? I'll pick you up after painting?"
"Are you back?" Professor Yuan asked him on the phone, "Where are you at home?"
"Ah." Yuan Ye responded.
Professor Yuan said, "You don't need to pick me up. I'll be there in five minutes. You can stay at home."
During dinner in the evening, my mother said that Shao Yi had been here twice in the past few days. Yuan Ye raised his eyebrows: "Has he been here?"
"Yeah," the old lady glanced at Yuan Ye's face and asked tentatively, "Are you all done?"
Yuan Ye asked, "What did he say?"
"It's not easy for me to ask. I didn't ask this," said my mother. "Shaoyi brings a lot of things every time he comes. I'm always worried that he will be recognized and people in the community will see him and cause him trouble again."
"No trouble," Yuan Ye smiled and shook his head, "He's used to it."
The mother then asked again: "Then are you okay?"
Yuan Ye thought for a while and said, "That's right."
Their family never said much about relationships. They stopped them before they got married, and they didn't say anything after that. Yuan Yeli didn't talk to his family before, and now that he's better, he won't say much. In his thirties, there is nothing to worry about for him. He has already reached the age where he needs to be responsible for his own life, and the result of any choice has to be borne by himself.
On that day, Professor Yuan just said to him, "You can live your life as you wish, as long as you want."
Yuan Ye nodded, and said "um", "I know."
The marriage between Yuan Ye and Fang Shaoyi was not quite the same as normal. When he and Fang Shaoyi got married, the identity gap was too great. It can be said that the two families had absolutely nothing in common, and there was basically no intersection after marriage. Yuan Ye saw that Fang Shaoyi's parents couldn't call him "Mom and Dad" before the divorce. It felt too strange. "Mom and Dad" couldn't be called out, but it would be inappropriate to call him "Uncle and Aunt". It is estimated that they are equally awkward looking at Yuan Ye, which is also related to Yuan Ye's character.
Fang Shaoyi is much more natural than him. When he is not filming these years, he often goes back to his house with Yuan Ye. He has always called him "Mom and Dad" like Yuan Ye. A well-mannered, ordinary young man.
Fang Shaoyi has done much better than Yuan Ye in this regard.
Yuan Ye stayed at home for one night, and called Fang Shaoyi when he came out of the house the next day, calling him "one brother".
"Well." Fang Shaoyi asked him, "Where?"
"Go back to my mother," Yuan Ye asked him, "Have you been here before? What is your identity here, brother?"
Fang Shaoyi said with a low smile, "Half a son."
Yuan Ye laughed at him: "Is it embarrassing for my mother to ask you if you are remarried?"
"Go ahead." Fang Shaoyi said, "Is there any way?"
After the two made a phone call, they couldn't see each other that day. Yuan Ye went to Laotu's place to drink and eat meat. Fang Shaoyi was in the company to read some contracts, and there was an interview in the afternoon. Fang Shaoyi has not shown much in public welfare over the years, and he is not included in common public welfare projects. But he and Yuan Ye are actually investing money in many public welfare projects and funds, and the amount is not small. A few years ago, Yuan Ye also occasionally followed Pao Pao in the mountainous area, and every time he went, he would take a lot of photos. After that, he didn't go much. He basically gave Fang Shaoyi his time, and the rest had to be kept for his own business.
This day's interview was about a fund project that wanted to do a topic on Fang Shaoyi. After waiting for a few months, Fang Shaoyi was finally returned. Originally wanted to interview Yuan Ye together, but Fang Shaoyi pushed him, Yuan Ye would not like to record this. Doing public welfare is to follow the heart, why always put it on the table. Some stars are trying to absorb more energy and attract more social people to join, which is understandable. But some people are just doing a show in Yuan Ye's eyes, and when they do something, they have to spread it out for everyone to see, which is extremely hypocritical.
Yuan Ye was drinking at Lao Tu's side. He and Lao Tu hadn't seen each other for more than half a year.
Lao Tu asked Yuan Ye what's going on now, but Yuan Ye never said anything about feelings. But this day, he opened his mouth in a rare way and said, "I'll beat it now, and I'll clean up myself first."
"How to pick it up?" Lao Tu looked at him, always with a three-pointed smile, and asked Yuan Ye, "A fish with scales?"
Yuan Ye chuckled, lit a cigarette, then shook his head and said, "That's not true."
It's not that painful, it's not that exaggerated, but it does have to change. To measure what is lost and what is gained, everyone has a ruler in their heart. These fields have been figured out for a long time, and he is very clear about what he wants. After he figured it out, he no longer hesitated.
But there are still times when he feels a little emotional, and it will make him feel a little at a loss to discard some things that have persisted for many years. even lonely.
Before Yuan Ye left the crew, the director told him the truth. The meaning of what he said was revealed. He didn't even think about adding He Han's play. This was also revealed to him by the director after drinking too much. Yuan Ye had never thought about it before, but when he heard this, he didn't know how to react.
Emotionally, he felt happy and refreshed, and if he just looked at the results, he felt satisfied. But looking back at the process, the efforts made by He Han and his team will not be mentioned. It was originally a crooked way. But for such a long time, the work of the entire crew, including but not limited to those in Group B, a lot of manpower and material resources are involved, all the actors fill in the scenes, and some even leave the group and come back. Online, if the director does not cut these, it will be useless. It's nothing to do white labor in filming, but the director knows everything, and all this is done under the control of the director and a few people, which feels very wrong.
Everyone who doesn't know it is spending all their attention on the newly added line, including Yuan Ye himself. Although he doesn't care about He Han's play, except for his play, every field has to consider two lines, how to combine and integrate these two lines, and try to make every play as far as possible when the whole script has deviated from the track. A scene plays a big role, and even quarrels with the director every day. The props team had to rush all night to catch a prop, and the result was that it would not appear in the movie at all.
This is very different from the way of the wilderness. Although Yuan Ye hates He Han and his team, he is the kind of person who does everything on the spot. He wouldn't agree to add this play from the very beginning, no matter how hard the difficulty hits his head, maybe he won't let go. But his method is sometimes wrong, which may lead to the whole crew's achievements being wasted, and more lost because of his non-compromise.
It must be admitted that the director is the most roundabout and the smartest to do this, and let them make trouble when the movie is released and everything is settled. It doesn't matter if you offend investors.
Yuan Ye asked the director at the time, "Then why do you have to take it so seriously? All the work is done for nothing."
"It's not for nothing." Jiang Linchuan glanced at him, shook his head, and laughed at himself, "There are too many variables in the movie. If I can't cut it out in the end, I have to add it to Riga."
Yuan Ye asked, "How likely is it that it won't be cut?"
Jiang Linchuan said, "It's very small."
For this very small possibility, more than 200 people in the crew worked as a whole for more than a month, and the money poured in was not heard.
Fang Shaoyi should have always known about it, but he didn't say it. Yuan Ye thought that Fang Shao had asked him to watch the director’s rough cut film several times, but Yuan Ye was not interested so he didn’t watch it. Later, he said he wanted to see it, but the director changed his words and didn’t take him there. So until the whole movie was filmed, Yuan Ye didn't know that his worries were superfluous. In his opinion, it was a completely scrapped script. In fact, the director never thought about scrapping it.
It's impossible to say right or wrong, and even if you have to force an answer, you have to say that the director is right, and he does everything he can to protect his play. Before Yuan Ye said that his most essential things as a filmmaker were gone, Yuan Ye had to take this sentence back. The essence of the filmmaker is still there, the fanatical pursuit of movies is still there, and he is worthy of his own movies.
But this is far from Yuan Ye's own principles, which even makes him feel a little absurd and crazy.
Fang Shaoyi had said before that Yuan Ye's emotions could not be concealed from his eyes, and he could feel it with a single glance between Yuan Ye and him. Although the two of them hadn't seen each other very much in the following days, the news and phone calls were not interrupted, and it seemed normal.
But as soon as Fang Shao picked up Yuan Ye from the airport, he knew that something was wrong with him, these days. Fang Shaoyi guessed the reason later.
Yuan Ye's attitude didn't change when he talked to him, as if nothing happened, Fang Shaoyi didn't ask him.
The day before going to France, Yuan Ye called and asked Fang Shaoyi if he was ready for the past few days.
Fang Shao said everything was ready.
Yuan Ye's voice sounded calm, but also a little gentle. On the phone, Fang Shaoyi said, "It's okay, I'll accompany you."
