Yuan Ye married Fang Shaoyi at the age of twenty-two. At that time, no one around him was supportive, and they all disagreed. Including his parents, including friends, and even Guan Zhou, who followed him the whole time, was not optimistic. Guan Zhou entered Taili as an intern at the beginning of his junior year. By chance, he came to the front of the stage and became an entertainment host. When Yuan Ye got married, Guan Zhou was already famous, and he had seen the secret and overt things in the circle for a long time. He was very reluctant to marry Yuan Yezhen and Fang Shaoyi. They are too far apart, why do people from the two worlds have to get together, like a farce.
But the wilderness didn't listen to anyone, one road went dark, and it didn't waver. At that time, I really liked Fang Shaoyi, more than that, I plunged into it like crazy and regarded Fang Shaoyi as a belief.
Fang Shaoyi did not live up to Yuan Ye's love and never let him down. They didn't hide their feelings, and for the grand wedding later, Fang Shao's bet was much bigger than Yuan Ye's. Yuan Ye is a pen player, Fang Shaoyi is a person in the entertainment industry. His wedding was equivalent to giving up a lot of possibilities and making his future path very narrow, but he never cared about it.
The love of the two young people is warm, brave, and sincere. They put themselves into this emotion like a sacrifice, regardless of the consequences and the future.
After ten years of marriage, Fang Shaoyi has become a respected actor, and Yuan Ye is a fast-talking free man in the literati circle. Both of them are very clear in their familiar fields, and the two of them have also become the spokespersons of true love in the entertainment industry. But the gains and losses are always balanced. On the one hand, consummation has to be exchanged for something else.
In the past ten years, Yuan Ye didn't have much time for himself, and all his time followed Fang Shaoyi. Fang Shao has been filming for more than a few months and a year, and Yuan Ye will follow him most of the time. The career direction of the two has set this tone, and it has not changed much over the years.
After all, Yuan Ye's time is indeed relatively free. His main job is to write, and he does not stick to where he writes, and there is no time limit. If he didn't follow them, they would be in a long-distance relationship all the year round, and they didn't see each other for a few months a year. When I was young, I thought this was a perfect match, it was just the two of them, others didn't fit so well.
His marriage to Fang Shaoyi is like stepping into the entertainment industry with one foot. He has never liked this piece of Vanity Fair, but he has to live here. In the early years, Yuan Ye dared to open his mouth to say what he liked or disliked. His mouth was sharp and vicious. Later, he learned that he was not only himself, but more importantly, Fang Shaoyi's partner. Everything he said would affect Fang Shaoyi, so he gradually shut up and said nothing.
But not saying it doesn't mean that it can be accepted, and what is disgusting is still disgusting.
Yuan Ye's 30th birthday was on the crew. Knowing that he didn't like to make noises, Fang Shaoyi didn't tell anyone about the birthday the two had in private in the room. Ji Xiaotao was there at the beginning, and slipped away after eating the cake. Fang Shaoyi kissed him that day, and then said, "Our little monkey also started three pages, and turned three pages."
Yuan Ye nodded with a smile: "A middle-aged man."
Fang Shaoyi asked him to make a wish.
Yuan Ye said "I hope everyone is okay", and then I couldn't think of anything else to say. He already had what he wanted, and the rest of the wish was useless.
The thirty-year-old Yuan Ye has actually changed a lot, and sometimes Yuan Ye feels that he has lost many things on his body. He's always been him, but it's not quite like it anymore.
At the end of that year, Fang Shaoyi joined a production crew, and he was a great director and a big producer. He took over the scene two years ago, and filming has only recently started. At the beginning, Fang Shaoyi was directed at the director and the script, but after joining the group, he found that the investors he mentioned at the beginning had changed. The filming started without any problems, and the crew was running smoothly. After more than two months of shooting, I gradually felt that something was wrong.
The play has not yet looked, and the words have come out, saying that the investment has cost more than 200 million. The place to really spend money is still to come. It cost more than 200 million without seeing anything in front of it, and it must be flying behind. In the evening, I went back to the room and talked to Fang Shaoyi about it. Fang Shaoyi said that the crew kept saying that Fang Shaoyi should spend 60 million.
Sixty million is too limitless, in fact, it is far from that high.
Yuan Ye frowned: "What are you playing?"
Yuan Ye didn't talk to him too much, and he didn't want Yuan Ye to listen to these dirty things. What are investors doing? Toss and toss, nothing more than profit. That movie has absorbed hundreds of millions of film funds from the outside world, and it will be distributed after it is released at the box office. To do this is to falsely report the cost, first to make a bottom line, to raise the cost to a high level, and finally the movie loses money, and the dividend is swallowed.
Although Fang Shaoyi didn't tell him, Yuan Ye has always had a lot of heart and has always been very clever, it just depends on whether he wants to think about it or not. He always knew that the film had raised money, and he didn't have to think about it to understand what was going on.
This kind of fundraising is all the money of ordinary people outside the circle, but in fact it is the common people. Some give guaranteed interest, some do not give guaranteed, only dividends, this kind of rate of return is also higher. Many people think that the movie is such a high-level thing, plus the intermediary agency is eloquent in the middle, and they look at the director and the cast.
There are too many scams for movie financing, and there are traps everywhere. But there are people who are earning money seriously. It depends on whether the eyes are poisonous or not, and whether they can distinguish the true from the false.
Fang Shaoyi is one of the three male protagonists in the play. It is indeed a good show to watch the movie alone, but after knowing what the investors are playing, the crew really can't stay in the wilderness. Yuan Ye has been numb to many things in the circle for so many years. From the first time he knew Fang Shao to the present thirteen years, it is impossible for him to be as naive as before.
The investor's business will not anger the director and actors, but Yuan Ye really can't accept Fang Shaoyi's filming of this play. Basically, this is a scam. The dark transactions inside the circle and the tacit understanding of the rules that can't be put on the table can be regarded as invisible, but it is really heart-burning to stretch out your hands outside the circle to make money from the public, and it is unacceptable no matter what.
Fang Shaoyi knew very well what the investors were doing, but he accepted it and acquiesced. He is reluctant to say this to himself, which has even put himself in the same position as the crew, and put the wilderness on the opposite side. There is no way to say that Fang Shaoyi is wrong. There is no problem with the crew, and he is also fine. He is upright and upright, and all the dirty things are done by the investors. But Yuan Ye couldn't convince himself that if he could accept this matter with a blank face, then he really wasn't him.
Yuan Ye turned his head and left, Fang Shaoyi could stay in the group to continue filming, but Yuan Ye couldn't. When I left, I was actually angry. I was angry with this fucking crew and also at Fang Shaoyi. The anger came from disappointment.
He walked away with anger, Fang Shaoyi called him and asked him what was wrong.
What's the use of talking about the top, the differences in values are just disputes. And even if Fang Shaoyi has an idea in his heart, he can't do anything. The movie is already halfway through, so it can be said that he can't help himself. These fields are clear, and speaking out is to block him, so Yuan Ye shut up and said nothing.
Being bored could not solve the problem, and the two of them were embarrassed even talking on the phone for several days.
Fang Shao put Yuan Ye on the opposite side, but Yuan Ye couldn't really put himself on the opposite side of Fang Shao after he figured it out. If he really accepts their opposing positions, how will they get along in the future? How awkward this relationship is.
So Yuan Ye said seriously to Fang Shaoyi on the phone: "Brother, this movie cheats money, you know."
Fang Shaoyi also admitted: "Well, I know."
"Let's not shoot this, okay?" Yuan Ye whispered, "I can't accept this. A lot of things in this industry are dirty, we can't control it, I can pretend to be invisible, but I can't accept your participation. ."
Yuan Ye's tone of speech is very candid, and he is willing to tell Fang Shaoyi everything he thinks: "I know you are in a dilemma, I am commanding you from a moral high point, it is not me who is embarrassed, I know. In fact, I I've been thinking about it for a few days, and I'm still a little too naive, but I don't want to have a pimple between us later. So I'll tell you what I think, and I'll support you no matter what you decide."
Fang Shaoyi said on the other side of the phone, "You say it."
Yuan Ye said: "I don't care about the capitalists making deals back and forth, but the money outside is tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, and these hundreds of millions are money with tears. I'm so sick of this, I can't help anyone. Whatever I do, I don't have that much energy, and I won't be able to fool you again."
Yuan Ye lit a cigarette at the time, then sighed and said: "I can accept that we are becoming more and more indifferent in this industry, but I still hope that those tears will not be touched, and I hope that indifference will not make our hearts become black."
After he finished speaking, Fang Shaoyi didn't speak for a long time, and finally said to him: "Okay."
Fang Shaoyi's words have always been powerful. He said it well, and he left the group within a week and paid a high liquidated damages. Halfway through the play, all the previous filming was in vain, people had to be hired again, and money had to be spent again. Fang Shao offended the entire crew, and this is not the end.
Fang Shaoyi also posted a Weibo on the day he left the group, first apologizing to the director and everyone in the crew, because of personal physical reasons, the subsequent scenes could not continue to be filmed. And according to the contract, the amount of remuneration will be refunded in full, and the amount of liquidated damages has been paid.
The 60 million people said earlier were self-defeating.
Yuan Ye said that he couldn't help anyone, and Fang Shaoyi couldn't do much. But he said the salary directly like this, and he didn't follow the rules, but he still did something. After speaking, he felt that this was worthy of the chivalrous, righteous and moral heart of Yuan Ye.
