After the four of them had a chat, Chu Qiuyi and Han Chuning went back to their house, but Chu Xiaxing and Song Wenye had to go back to the company to chat with the others about the movie. Chu Xiaxing sent her sister and niece out of the restaurant, but Chu Qiuyi suddenly turned around before getting into the car, and reached out to hug her sister.
Chu Qiuyi snorted: "The last movie is over, the next movie will be better."
She doesn't know if her sister who has been wandering outside can find someone who understands her, maybe she didn't in the last life, she just hopes that this life will be better.
Chu Xiaxing's heart softened when she heard the words, she hugged Chu Qiuyi back and comforted: "Okay."
Chu Qiuyi: "No matter what, you can go home."
Chu Xiaxing said softly, "En."
Han Chuning also hugged Chu Xiaxing. She hugged her mother and waved goodbye to the remaining two, unaware of her slip of the tongue: "Auntie, President Song, then I'll go back with my mother first, bye!"
Chu Xiaxing: "Okay, send a message at home."
Chu Xiaxing and Song Wenye watched them leave, and the car finally disappeared into the traffic at night. Song Wenye suddenly said, "Director Chu's relatives care about you very much."
In the last life, Chu Xiaxing chose to walk alone. Even if her heart was strong enough, she would inevitably have moments of depression. Fortunately, her relatives always stood behind her. They may not understand her choice, but they are helpless to her busyness, but they are there from beginning to end.
Chu Xiaxing: "Yes, it looks like I like her, but she likes me."
Chu Qiuyi always clamored for her sister to accompany her, but it was more like she was afraid that Chu Xiaxing would be lonely and wanted to accompany her.
Chu Xia Xing thought about the situation at the dinner table just now, she looked at Song Wenye, and took the lead in apologizing: "I'm really sorry, Qiu Yi's words are just like that, don't take it to heart..."
Chu Qiuyi initially expressed a trace of hostility towards Song Wenye, but that was because he valued himself. Chu Xiaxing couldn't blame her, and could only apologize to Song Wenye in private.
Song Wenye listened to her speaking for her sister, he blinked and said, "But I went to my heart."
Chu Xiaxing thought that he would be lenient and polite, but he didn't want the other party's answer to be unexpected: "?"
Song Wenye plausibly said, "After all, she recognizes my identity, unlike Director Chu who is vague."
Song Wenye knew of Chu Qiuyi's concerns, so he naturally wouldn't blame Chu Xiaxing's relatives, and his tone was somewhat mocking. Even though Chu Qiuyi had a bit of an attitude of making things difficult, he was not angry, and his mentality was quite peaceful.
Song Wenye: Rounding to the nearest number counts as a name.
Chu Xiaxing was silent for a moment, then she explained dryly: "... Maybe she is clumsy?"
Song Wenye's expression changed slightly, he pondered for a few seconds, and then muttered: "What about Director Chu's words on stage today?"
Song Wenye didn't forget what she said on stage. He still remembered how she answered reporters' questions, and naturally he wouldn't let the other party easily get away with it.
Chu Xiaxing: "Well... I'm clumsy?"
Song Wenye: "..."
Chu Xiaxing looked at his sullen expression, she couldn't help feeling amused, and said lightly, "Okay, Mr. Song, let's talk about something else."
Seeing her change the subject again, Song Wenye was naturally frustrated, and he was rarely dissatisfied: "I don't want to talk about anything else."
Chu Xiaxing raised her eyebrows slightly, and said jokingly, "Can't you talk about your financial products?"
Song Wenye was stunned when he heard these words. He saw the bright smile in her eyes, and suddenly lost the ability to organize language. The feeling of tightness in his chest was suddenly relieved. cloud.
Song Wenye lowered his eyes in embarrassment: "How to talk?"
Chu Xiaxing: "Let's talk about how to buy it."
"It's your words..." Song Wenye glanced aside, he pretended to be calm, "...you can buy whatever you want."
Chu Xiaxing saw him turn her eyes away, she couldn't help laughing at this moment, and she felt a sincere sense of relief in her heart. She probably hates being controlled, but no one can refuse extreme tolerance, like a quiet and gentle night.
In the night wind, the two walked together under the warm yellow light, casting only a pair of silhouettes side by side.
After the release of "The Star of Dawn", the movie has a very high degree of topicality on the Internet, and even radiated into real life. In addition to the high box office, countless articles have begun to discuss the plot of the film, and the analysis angles are also varied, some are about women's workplace, some are about the development of film and television, and some are about people and the times.
Although the film mainly revolves around the life of the female director, each time period reveals the imprint of the times. It seems to be about a person, but it actually depicts a group of people. The supporting characters in the film also have different personalities. Some accompany the protagonist through the slump but are unable to resist the temptation of interest. Some have fierce competition with the protagonist but eventually become close friends. All kinds of experiences are embarrassing.
The role played by Xie Zhaoyan is undoubtedly the most outstanding in the whole film, and it has become a key analysis case for professional courses in various film and television colleges. This is also a rare time for her to star in a movie again after many years. Not only did she not lose her golden performance at all, but she even reached another peak.
The other supporting roles in the movie also attracted the attention of the outside world, and more importantly, they set off a wave of "Chu Xia Xing" craze.
All kinds of classic and old films directed by Chu Xiaxing have been re-released under this momentum, and new books about her have also begun to be displayed in the bookstore. Even though the characters and background of "The Star of Dawn" are made a certain overhead, no one can see who the prototype is, especially there are countless pictures that pay tribute to the classics in the film.
Yanchuan Film and Television City is also well-known under the popularity of movies. "The Star of Dawn" has left a lot of shooting scenes in the local area, and now it has become a place where tourists check in intensively. Other crews have also contributed to the film and television city. This city, which has experienced many twists and turns, is gradually radiating new vitality.
Han Chuning has been quite busy recently.
Because "The Star of Dawn" was so popular after its release, many media wanted to find out about director Chu Xiaxing's anecdotes, and naturally they would find his relatives for interviews. Chu Qiuyi was completely outside the circle, and he had never been exposed, so of course he didn't have such troubles. Han Chuning is still working in the circle, so it's hard to refuse all kinds of connections from friends, but he doesn't know how to deal with interview questions.
She decided to take the easiest way and directly ask the deity who opened the trumpet.
In the conference room, Han Chuning flipped through the questions sent by the media in advance, and asked them one by one: "Auntie, why did you miss the Golden Leaf Awards ceremony? Was it because of your dissatisfaction with the jury?"
Chu Xiaxing was flipping through the script, but she was dazed and hesitated: "...I have been absent from the awards ceremony? What year was that?"
Chu Xiaxing recently discovered that all kinds of media are really powerful. Due to the popularity of "Star of Dawn", all her old stories have been turned up, and many events are not even her own.
Han Chuning occasionally came to ask, she had to try to recall it for a long time, and she didn't know where the reporter got the information.
"It was the year you filmed "Luo Chuan Water", did you deliberately absent because you were at odds with that session of the judges?" Han Chuning scratched her head, she was like a student doing reading questions for the college entrance examination, and said with a straight face, "The awards judges will follow up. When a scandal broke out, some people said that you were disdainful to accept the award from him, and they also said that you already knew the true face of the other party and showed your true temperament."
At this moment, Chu Xiaxing deeply felt the exaggeration of the outside world, and she said with shame: "No, it seemed that I just missed the plane at the time... I didn't speak to that person, how did I know the real face."
Han Chuning hesitated: "...So you're just busy with the crew and didn't catch up?"
Chu Xiaxing: "Yes."
Han Chuning: "But no one will believe my answer, it's not legendary at all?"
Chu Xiaxing: "Otherwise you will treat me as my true temperament?"
Han Chuning nodded, and she continued to ask the next question: "Then why did you choose to shoot "The Lonely Moon" out of the two dramas? Could it be that you feel the cast is better?"
Chu Xiaxing said decisively: "No, it's just that this drama gives more money."
Han Chuning: "?" Well, is there really no answer that can be used
Chu Xiaxing looked at her niece's delicate expression. She was also not good at answering these questions, so she tentatively asked: "Since history is a little girl who can be dressed up, otherwise you can use your screenwriter's ability to dress me up casually?"
Han Chuning: "..."
Chu Xiaxing glanced at the time. She closed the script in her hand and prepared to stand up: "If you have no other questions, I will first..."
Han Chuning said hurriedly: "Wait, the last one, the last question!"
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the conference room. Song Wenye pushed the door open from the outside and came in. He originally came to pick up Chu Xiaxing for dinner, but when he saw Han Chuning also sitting at the table, he took the initiative to ask: "Han Is the teacher with us?"
After Chu Xiaxing and Song Wenye confirmed their relationship, their relationship was peaceful and quiet. It didn't seem to change much, but many details were added. Although the two have their own jobs, Song Wen nightclub invites her for dinner on time, and all kinds of care are indispensable in life. His concern was subtle and harmless, and the moisturizing surrounding her silently did not make her feel restrained.
In fact, Chu Xiaxing occasionally lacked details, but Song Wenye never complained about it, which made her old senior feel embarrassed. She has plenty of work experience, but is not good enough at managing intimate relationships, so she has more experience.
Chu Xiaxing also asked about this: "Is it okay for me to do this?" She really couldn't be as sticky as ordinary young people, and she didn't know the emotional patterns of Xie Zhaoyan and others, so she would naturally feel confused.
Song Wenye took a good attitude towards this. He sincerely said, "You have your own way of expressing yourself. Just choose to be yourself."
Song Wenye knew that her words and deeds were due to her personality, and it didn't mean she didn't understand other people's goodness, just like she wouldn't be reunited with her family on holidays, but her concern for Chu Qiuyi and others had never diminished.
It's not that she doesn't understand the efforts of others, she just has a set of expressions of her own.
It had to be said that Song Wenye's tolerant attitude made Chu Xiaxing a lot more relaxed. The two of them got along very well now, and there was always an illusion that they had been together for many years.
Chu Xiaxing used to think it was not necessary to share meals during work, but now she is gradually changing her opinion. Her life used to be only the job she loves, but now she has a lover who accompanies her.
Song Wenye also arrived on time today, Chu Xiaxing looked back at Han Chuning and suggested, "Ningning, let's go together, they are not outsiders."
Han Chuning looked at the two standing together, she shook her head like a rattle, and said decisively, "No, no, I still have an appointment!"
Han Chuning: You can never put dog food in my mouth, not even a veteran cadre couple!
After a little chat between the two sides, Chu Xiaxing and Song Wenye left for the meal first, and Song Wenye walked in front to open the door for Chu Xiaxing. Chu Xiaxing looked happy, Song Wenye's eyes softened.
Chu Xiaxing had just taken a few steps, when she suddenly turned around again, looked at Han Chuning in the room, and reminded, "Didn't you just say you had the last question? Ask it now."
Han Chuning watched the scene where the two were talking and laughing. She looked down at the interview question again, and said thoughtfully, "Well... I don't need to ask this all of a sudden."
"Okay, then we're leaving. If you have an appointment, hurry up and don't let people wait."
After Han Chuning said goodbye to Chu Xiaxing, looking at the question on the computer screen, he suddenly had an answer in his heart.
After confirming the time with the interviewer, she hurriedly packed her things and went to the other party's appointment.
"Why do you think Director Chu chose to be alone all his life?"
"I think my aunt never chooses to be alone, but is waiting for someone who really understands her." Han Chuning smiled softly, "She has never lost the ability to love her, nor cut off all her feelings, she is just looking for The one who deserves to be loved is better to be in short supply than indiscriminate."
The director can love no one, but he will not forget how to love.
—the end.
