Chu Xiaxing's words were so difficult that Xie Zhaoyan lost her temper. She took it for granted: "Forget it, I should have known you were this kind of person long ago. Even if I ask you why you didn't contact me, you can still talk nonsense with a bunch of reasons..."
Chu Xiaxing: "You've been living abroad, so it doesn't make sense to tell you."
This is Chu Xiaxing's true thoughts. Even if she notified Xie Zhaoyan at the first time, and Xie Zhaoyan came back all the way, the two of them would still take pictures of the rest of the day separately, so why bother their friend's original life. They all have independent life circles, and even in their previous lives, they couldn't always get together.
Xie Zhaoyan is now returning to China to record the show, and the two happened to have the right opportunity to meet, so Chu Xiaxing immediately came to record the show, she thought there was nothing wrong with her.
Xie Zhaoyan listened to her friend's serious and crooked reasoning, she rubbed her temples with a headache, and was speechless at Chu Xiaxing's heartlessness, and said angrily: "Okay, don't talk to me, I know you have no heart, But you're going to be dressed up anyway..."
"If I didn't mention Yanchuan, would you still act with me?" Xie Zhaoyan said angrily. If she hadn't known Chu Xiaxing's heart knot, she might have been more playful.
Chu Xiaxing's eyes drifted slightly, she touched her nose with a guilty conscience, but she didn't give up: "Who asked you about Yanchuan? Isn't our relationship with the outside world normal?"
Before Xie Zhaoyan was not on the show, outsiders often reported that Chu Xie was not in harmony. Why shouldn't Xie Zhaoyan be asked about it
Xie Zhaoyan squinted her and said lightly, "It's okay to tell you, but let's talk about the psychological changes after you left Yanchuan."
Yanchuan Film and Television City is a very meaningful place for Chu Xiaxing. She has undergone many small changes since she left here, such as her interest in cultivating talents, and even her personality has become more peaceful and tolerant. Many people think that Director Chu doesn't care about things when he gets older, but Xie Zhaoyan knows that something is pushing his friends to change.
Chu Xiaxing: "Why are you asking this? How long ago it was!"
Xie Zhaoyan: "Of course you have to ask about the material for writing the script."
Chu Xiaxing: "?"
Xie Zhaoyan said blankly: "Oh, I forgot to tell you, I am using you as a prototype for someone to write a script. Of course, the names and backgrounds are fictional, so it is useless if you want to ask me for copyright fees..."
Chu Xiaxing: "???"
Chu Xiaxing stood up to settle the account: "You slandered me on the show that day, and now you still want to make a movie to slander me..."
Just as Chu Xiaxing was about to beat his friend for a meal, he didn't expect the door of the private room to suddenly open, and Wang Toyota came back apologetically: "I'm really sorry, we've been talking about something in the company for a long time..."
"Why did you stand up? Director Chu wants to add more dishes?" Seeing Chu Xiaxing standing by the table, Wang Fengtian was naturally puzzled and looked around at a loss.
Both Chu Xiaxing and Xie Zhaoyan were outstanding in their acting skills. They cut back to their dignified and polite appearances in a second, and they were completely different from the fangs and claws just now. Xie Zhaoyan sat at the table with a gentle smile, while Chu Xiaxing explained without changing her face: "No, I'll go out and answer the phone too."
Xie Zhaoyan said calmly, "Mr. Wang and Director Chu are busy, otherwise we'll end earlier today?"
Wang Toyota smiled helplessly: "That's okay, I'm really sorry, Teacher Xie, there's been a lot of things going on in the movies recently."
Wang Toyota has no doubts at all. After all, "Wu Dao" is still in the late stage and publicity stage, and Chu Xiaxing is still recording "24 Frames of Light and Shadow", so everyone is indeed not idle.
At the dinner table, Xie Zhaoyan and Wang Toyota continued to chat about the original script. Now that Chu Xiaxing learned that the story was written by herself, she was inexplicably complicated and always felt that they were talking nonsense. She understood why Xie Zhaoyan said that Director Xu couldn't shoot, and Xu Xiancheng could understand Chu Xiaxing with a hammer!
After the meal, the three of them said goodbye at the door of the restaurant and suggested that they go back to work, and Wang Toyota wanted to go back to the company. Chu Xiaxing saw Wang Toyota get into the car and leave, she wandered lazily for a while, then returned to the underground parking lot and got into Xie Zhaoyan's car smoothly.
Xie Zhaoyan muttered, "We're like an underground party joint."
Chu Xiaxing: "Hurry up and take out your script, I want to see how you spread rumors!"
Xie Zhaoyan sent a document to Chu Xiaxing without saying a word. The script of the movie was not particularly long, only about a hundred scenes. The characters in the movie have all been renamed, but insiders can still see the reference to real-life events.
Before the script, there is a short biography of the characters. Chu Xiaxing did not expect that there would be a supporting role to match the upper Duan Hui.
After Chu Xiaxing finished reading the character biography, she was suddenly a little distracted, and her eyes darkened: "This character is Duan Hui? That's not quite right."
Xie Zhaoyan came over to check, and then explained: "This paragraph is for them to change. The child checked the information and made up, mainly no one knows the actual situation."
"Since you don't think it's right, then you can change it. You should be the clearest. What kind of person do you think Duan Hui is?" Xie Zhaoyan whispered, "You let people who don't know the inside story write it, and of course they will only know what kind of person Duan Hui is. I believe some rumors that Duan Hui is embezzling and taking bribes and absconding overseas.”
The much-anticipated Yanchuan Film and Television City collapsed, the construction funds disappeared, and the person in charge, Duan Hui, disappeared. Some people say that Duan Hui absconded overseas with the money, and the higher authorities also went to Yanchuan to investigate for a long time, but in the end the matter came to nothing. Duan Hui was dismissed. Someone was still searching for him overseas and wanted to arrest him, but Duan Hui never showed up again.
After more than 20 years, these things have been rarely mentioned, and not too much news has even been left on the Internet. This is what happened in the era of Big Brother, but now we have entered the era of smartphones.
Chu Xiaxing shook his head: "I don't know, and I can't write it."
Xie Zhaoyan was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Chu Xiaxing, can't you write, or don't you want to?"
Chu Xiaxing: "...What do you mean?"
Xie Zhaoyan said seriously: "I just want to know, whether you really don't know that you can't write, or you don't want to be read, so you don't want to tell your experience."
"You know what? I've shown this script to many mature screenwriters, and they all think it's good when they first read it, but when you hear the prototype, you don't think it's enough, but you can't make suggestions for improvement, because no one can boast I understand you, even I can't." Xie Zhaoyan smiled bitterly, "When I started to prepare this story, I realized that I knew too little about you."
Chu Xiaxing understood Xu Xiancheng thoroughly, but Xie Zhaoyan only understood half of Chu Xiaxing, and no one could understand the other half. She hid her inner world very deeply, as if she always kept a certain distance from her surroundings.
Chu Xiaxing complained: "What you do with art is trouble, why bother to study ordinary people."
Xie Zhaoyan listened to the familiar tone, a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes, and she sighed softly: "Well, since you are disgusted with being read, it is meaningless for me to continue doing it. I originally wanted to keep it as a souvenir, but you Now that I'm back, I don't have to work hard to be annoying, and I'm hated by Director Chu for no reason..."
"This is the beginning of a miserable sale?" Chu Xiaxing squinted at the other side speechlessly, and when she heard the pitiful tone of her friend, she could only confess helplessly, "It's not that I don't want to write, I really can't, I I don't know where Duan Hui is going."
Duan Hui disappeared from the world in Yanchuan City, and then he was infamous and never appeared again. Some people said that Duan Hui fled overseas with the money, but Chu Xiaxing couldn't believe it.
Xie Zhaoyan looked puzzled: "Since you don't know, why do you think it's wrong?"
Chu Xiaxing said calmly: "Because I have seen him, he is not that kind of person, Yan Chuan was really messy at the time, but he would never leave his wife and children and flee overseas, even if he is greedy for money, he should take his wife and children with him. , the family is bigger than the sky in his heart..."
Of course, Chu Xiaxing also knew that it was irrational to judge people based on feeling alone, which was why she had been unable to speak up. Everything must be based on evidence, and it is impossible to rely on people's subjective feelings.
Xie Zhaoyan was taken aback: "Then where did he go? Why didn't he show up despite his infamy?"
Chu Xiaxing: "He even asked me to inspect the project the day before, but the day after, he disappeared completely, never appeared in Yanchuan again, and was accused of absconding overseas. What do you think?"
Xie Zhaoyan: "…"
The two fell into silence at the same time. If Duan Hui was killed and left behind his bones, this matter would not be taken lightly, but he just evaporated without a trace, and suddenly became an ancient mystery, no one can tell clearly.
Chu Xiaxing chuckled and said, "I sometimes hope that Duan Hui really absconds with the money, then I may not care anymore and can accept being cheated with peace of mind."
If Duan Hui was a complete liar, Chu Xiaxing would not have to be under any psychological pressure. It was nothing more than that she didn't know people well, her skills were not as good as others, and she fell hard in the society. However, her intuition was looming, making her subconsciously unable to accept it.
In fact, Chu Xiaxing is not often dominated by emotions. She uses many of her own rules to restrain her, for example, she never uses her family's money for filming, and she will never go out without signing a contract. She uses reason to overcome her emotions. But human beings are sentient beings, and feelings are occasionally and unexpectedly accurate, even beyond logical evidence.
Xie Zhaoyan pondered for a few seconds, then said, "Someone said something similar to you not long ago, and he came to talk to Lao Xu about the Yanchuan Film and Television City."
One of the reasons for director Xu Xiancheng to return to China this time is to talk to the other side about Yanchuan Film and Television City.
Chu Xiaxing was slightly taken aback.
"Are you going to meet? Duan Hui's son." Xie Zhaoyan glanced at the time on her phone, then she started the car and slowly turned the steering wheel, "They were talking at the hotel today, and it should be too late to go back now."
Xie Zhaoyan and Xu Xiancheng haven't returned to China for a long time. Instead of living in a quiet villa area, they temporarily live in a hotel in the bustling center.
After Chu Xiaxing heard this, a shy and fair little boy gradually appeared in her mind, and hesitantly said, "...You mean Xiao Xiao Duan?"
Chu Xiaxing still had an impression of Duan Hui's son, mainly Duan Hui's wife was outstanding in appearance, Xiao Xiao Duan inherited his mother's fair skin, he was a quiet, well-behaved and easy to bully little Douding. Chu Xiaxing didn't know the little boy's name. She always called him "Xiao Xiao Duan", and Xiao Xiao Duan didn't know who she was. The two would occasionally hang out together in Yanchuan.
At that time, Chu Xiaxing had a very bad personality. She liked to pinch small pieces of soft cheeks, just like pinching white rice cake dumplings, and then watching him show a look of forbearance that dared not speak, enjoying the pleasure of bullying children.
Xiao Xiao Duan was a good-natured boy. He didn't cry or make trouble when he was tortured. Occasionally, Chu Xiaxing cheated him of a little money at the canteen. Of course, she would buy snacks for him afterwards.
Chu Xiaxing couldn't explain her state of mind. Anyway, she found it funny when she saw the children. For example, when she saw Han Chuning breaking her front teeth, she laughed. There was an indescribable sense of schadenfreude.
Chu Xiaxing: It may be the joy of adults to like to watch human cubs make a fool of themselves.
After Duan Hui's accident, his family couldn't continue to live in Yanchuan, and Chu Xiaxing naturally lost contact with Xiao Xiao Duan, but he didn't expect to meet in other places one day. She didn't expect that Xiao Duan was still obsessed with Yan Chuan, and suddenly became curious about the little boy she met in the past, so she decided to take a look quietly.
In the hotel, Xie Zhaoyan walked inside with Chu Xiaxing. She looked down at the phone at the same time, and muttered, "Old Xu said he just finished talking, so he shouldn't leave, or I'll ask..."
Chu Xiaxing: "It's okay to leave, there's no need to force it."
Xie Zhaoyan and Chu Xiaxing were using the VIP elevator, and there were basically no ordinary customers nearby. Xie Zhaoyan glanced at the end of the corridor, and she suddenly said, "Oh, it seems that it is the one who is going to take the elevator down!"
Chu Xiaxing turned his head to look, just in time to see a familiar man stepping into the elevator. He looked calm and didn't look sideways. He didn't seem to notice them. The tall figure disappeared behind the closed elevator door.
When Chu Xiaxing saw Song Wenye's dazed eyes, it was like a bolt from the blue. She should have thought about it a long time ago, and there are not many people who still care about Yanchuan!
Chu Xiaxing said in disbelief, "That's Duan Hui's son? Isn't his surname Song?"
Xie Zhaoyan: "Yeah, I guess it's my mother's surname, after all that happened back then..."
After Duan Hui's accident, his reputation was so bad that the local people could not wait to drown him with spittle stars, and his children could take refuge with their mother's surname.
Chu Xiaxing's head was buzzing at this time, and she really couldn't link the small section of Ruan Nuodou Ding with Qingjun and Song Wenye. It feels like you are poking grass on the side of the road, but after many years, the grass has grown into a big tree in the sky, which makes people seriously suspect that the grass is taking hormones.
Chu Xiaxing: "This incident tells us a truth."
Xie Zhaoyan: "What?"
Chu Xiaxing: "Thirty years Hedong, thirty years Hexi, don't bully children."
Xie Zhaoyan: "?"
Chu Xiaxing's mood is extremely complicated now, it's like being beaten up by the opposite player in the game, but Kai Mai finds out that they are elementary school students.
Who would have guessed that she cheated President Song of money in the canteen many years ago.
