The conversation between the two upstairs is actually quite worthless in the first half.
Basically, to sum up the content, Xia Cheng is asking Catherine to provide him with an opportunity to deepen contact with Rong Su, not to catch Bai Fumei, but at least to increase the friendship to be able to contact each other before returning to China The degree of friendship.
It's not like now, even though they live under the same roof, they have Ye Shuang who can translate when they want to go out, and Ye Shuang who knows all kinds of entertainment and sports when they want to go out, and they can tell more about each other even if they watch TV together Multiple related data and knowledge.
Needless to say, eating, brother Shuang's cooking skills can crush Catherine, a senior housewife, let alone work, today's performance is a tragic omen for the next few days.
Xia Cheng's sense of existence has been wiped out to zero, and his status in Rong Su's mind is basically a label of "Catherine's friend"... It's over when we meet each other, nodding and saying hello, there is no need to stop and talk at all.
Xia Cheng even summed it up. During the whole day, the sentence that Rong Su said the most was "Brother Ye, what should I do with this xxx?" Yes—"Brother Ye, are we going to xxx, together?"
... could not be more heartbroken! !
And after listening to Xia Cheng's complaints, Catherine also gave an unoptimistic answer with deep sorrow and objectiveness after serious thinking—let alone Rong Su, even she herself found it difficult to ignore such a luminous body as Ye Shuang.
The main reason is that a person who can help with anything, and who is so good-looking has a sense of presence. Almost whenever something happens, you don't have to think about it. Can think of this person.
Want a chance to deepen contact with girls? hehe. This kind of advertisement is impossible to engage in closed shooting, not to mention that Director James is quite interested in Ye Shuang himself, so it is even more impossible to isolate the other party.
And if you don't clean up Ye Shuang first, as long as "he" is on the scene, who will notice the "inconspicuous" Xia Cheng
... Basically it ends here, it is the part of the dialogue that Ye Shuang finds boring. What really deserved Ye Shuang's attention was Catherine's frank statement that there was no way to isolate Ye Shuang from fulfilling Xia Cheng's wish. Xia Cheng became angry and threatened because of this.
"Don't forget your son's drug record. Catherine."
…
Don't forget your son's drug record.
What does it mean
Literally speaking, it is easy to understand, but when digging deeper, Ye Shuang feels that things are not that simple.
How should I put it... In fact, the proportion of French teenagers taking drugs ranks first in Europe. This is no longer unusual.
Some pursue fashion, some follow the mainstream, and some use the exciting effect of drugs to stimulate their learning efficiency because they need to cope with intense exams.
Anyway, no matter what the reason is. The net result is that among French teenagers, drug use has become a common and not shocking norm.
certainly. If there is no overdose addiction, these teenagers will gradually withdraw from the ranks of addicts after they become adults.
So to use an inappropriate sentence to describe Ye Shuang's mood, she felt that there was no need for Catherine to make a fuss over such a "little" thing... At least Ye Shuang felt that such a thing should not be qualified to be a handle.
…not a public figure anyway.
"Unless there are other more serious influences behind this matter."
Ye Shuang muttered thoughtfully.
Vincent doesn't understand Chinese. Wen Yan turned his head to the side and made a confused nasal voice: "Did you say something just now, Ye?"
"No." The conversation on the second floor was over, and Catherine also walked out of Xia Cheng's room and was going down the stairs. So Ye Shuang withdrew her attention and focused on the TV in front of her. As if nothing had happened, he commented on his evaluation of the film that had already started for about 20 minutes: "I think that man named Howard is really a pervert."
"???"
Vincent unconsciously widened his eyes slightly, as if surprised by this unfriendly comment.
Catherine just came out of the living room at this moment. He happened to hear this sentence too, so he put away his gloomy expression and put on a mature and capable smile again, sat next to the two of them and said casually: "This evaluation is very novel. I have heard people praise Howard's genius, brilliant ideas, Unconstrained... But I have never heard anyone say that he is a pervert. In fact, Howard rarely even gets news, he is a low-key screenwriter, and basically never accepts interviews with any paper media except for his works."
"Have you ever heard of psychopathic test questions?" Ye Shuang took a sip of brandy, put the glass on the coffee table and smiled, "Of course, I know that the independent filmmakers usually like to shoot unpopular themes, but before I I imagined it was literary, satirical, and gloomy...but before I actually saw it, I really didn't think it would be a psychopathic protagonist."
To be more precise, this masterpiece of James should actually be classified as a suspenseful detective drama. However, as the case was unraveled and investigated, it also brought out a lot of deep thinking...Things with connotation must be accompanied by thinking, and the kind that is forgotten after a good time is called a commercial film.
Let alone the reflection or insinuation of human nature, Ye Shuang is more concerned and concerned about the criminal's modus operandi throughout the film.
"Let's put it this way, due to limited knowledge, ordinary people can only make up for it with writing skills when writing detective scripts. Part of the reason is that they can't imagine a truly rigorous crime, and the other part is because of the influence of the media... So the authors He will design suspense, then slowly release hints, and finally reveal the answer." Ye Shuang explained: "The above is the normal mode of a detective film or novel."
"Does this have anything to do with your evaluation of Howard?" Vincent still didn't quite understand.
"I'm sorry that I overestimated your IQ." Ye Shuang muttered in Chinese, and after thinking about it, he changed another way of saying: "It's like this, you will find it enjoyable and exciting when you watch ordinary detective films, but In fact, it does not have a complete criminal logic. In other words, even a true crime-solving expert, it is difficult to guess the criminal before the film is shown to the end... because the focus of "solving the case" is on the obvious things that the protagonist finds during the process of solving the case. In terms of hints, for example, a suspicious key person, or a strange little thing. And before you see that part of the plot, you will naturally have no way to find the truth from a bunch of unconnected clues."
"But Howard's film is different." Ye Shuang tried to explain: "His script is a true crime, a complete and true restoration... For example, only 1/4 of the film is shown now, but I can already deduce that the prisoner is Sam."
"It's impossible!" Vincent exclaimed with his eyes wide open. Allegation: "You must have seen this movie! No. You must have looked for movie reviews on the Internet."
"..." Ye Shuang silently sneered: "Of course, reasoning alone is useless. If it is realistic, I still need to find evidence to prove my judgment. Only in this way can I really convict the criminal. But if only from the logic of reasoning If you watch it, there is no need to watch this film anymore... Just like the psychopath test questions I just said, there are only two types of people who can write true and rigorous crimes, one is the solver, and the other is the perpetrator. Then contact James for Howard's evaluation... Hehe."
Ye Shuang felt a little depressed and drank her wine again, she just didn't want to continue talking.
James' evaluation is of course the sentence "that person is good at arranging the overall situation". It's fine if it's another genre. But it happened to solve the case... Hehe, is it really possible for a genius who is so good at arranging the overall situation of "crime" to achieve social harmony and stability
Catherine felt a little drowsy, as a perceptual design worker. She really doesn't have much interest in this kind of topic: "Well, it seems that Howard is indeed a genius." This is a statement that completely misses the point: "Even such professional criminal design can be so realistic... well, you are trying to say Does that mean?"
Vincent also didn't grasp the point very much, and was silently shocked for half a minute. Then he patted Ye Shuang on the shoulder seriously: "In short, don't let James know about the evaluation you said today... By the way. Those analyzes other than 'abnormal' are fine. James must be very happy to get you Professional affirmation."
Ye Shuang once again: "Hehe..."
These people didn't understand the seriousness of the matter at all!
…
In the next few days, Xia Cheng didn't stalk Rong Su every day to the photography team to gain a sense of presence.
After he had clearly demonstrated his incompetence...mainly due to Brother Bishuang's amazing performance..., a person who could not help at all and had no supernatural status, but only appeared in front of everyone through the friendship of the chief designer Catherine, started to... It's okay to let him go to the back door once or twice to watch the excitement, how is it possible to check in every day
Even Catherine has her own work to do, it is impossible to follow up on the advertisement endorsement all day long, let alone Xia Cheng who was attached to her name.
It was precisely because of this that Ye Shuang didn't have to continue to hang around with Rong Su after following her for two days at first, but instead could spare her energy to do other things.
In view of the fact that Xia Cheng resolutely switched to Catherine's line of action after Rong Su's road was blocked, Ye Shuang's subsequent energy naturally focused on the handle that Catherine, mother and son were caught by Xia Cheng.
"Catherine's son seems to be applying for graduate school. A well-known mentor is very interested in him, but that person is very strict."
Su Zheng licked the lollipop and broke the news: "I heard that he is a bit of an old-fashioned gentleman, and he is very picky about his students' personalities and family evaluations... For example, if the parents at home have criminal records, there are bad records in their personal files Yes, usually skipping classes to play tricks or play tricks on multiple boats... People are guiding students, so the tutor is simply picking a son-in-law."
"Need to be picky?" Ye Shuang said thoughtfully: "Then it's understandable. Maybe the tutor's reputation is really good, so his student quota is so precious?"
If this is the case, it is understandable that Catherine wants to cover up her son's drug use record. Others may be able to understand the youth's madness, as long as the students are really talented enough to accept it. But for some people with specific eccentricities, let alone taking drugs, you just swallow a few more sleeping pills, otherwise people will dislike you if you have symptoms of mental weakness.
"Of course this is not a big problem, it's just a trick. It's not a fatal weakness." Su Zheng nodded, took out a lollipop from her mouth and said with a smile: "The key point is still the problem of Catherine plagiarizing ideas and hiring gunmen. "
Ye Shuang was right after thinking about it: "Then let's forget about the children's problems, and the troubles of teenagers are really nothing important."
"Ah K said that Xia Cheng hasn't had much contact with other people recently, and it may be that the organization is not so optimistic about him." Su Zheng gloated: "His original strategy focus should be on Tianwang Entertainment Media, but I didn't expect it to go smoothly. After several years of operation, suddenly the boat capsized in the gutter. In the past few years, the operation was all in vain, and even the money invested in it was not recovered... I would be drunk if I met such a bad subordinate. It would be polite for him to fend for himself."
"The line of Tianwang Entertainment Media is broken. Rong Su can't get through, so after all, Xia Cheng can only hold on to Catherine now?" Ye Shuang also thought about it. Sigh: "Xia Cheng is really unlucky. Although Catherine has status and status, after all, she is in l.p.a only has status and not shares. No matter how deadly she is, it is impossible for Xia Cheng to participate in the management, let alone Take control of the company."
"It's a life-saving straw. Catch it first, and then talk about it. If it doesn't stop, it's a problem for the future."
The two of them were having a high chat downstairs. Catherine hurried in from outside the gate. When she saw Ye Shuang and Su Zheng in the living room, she couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Aren't you going out? I think the weather is not bad today, it's very suitable for shopping and relaxing."
As he spoke, he didn't expect any answer. Catherine continued to rush up the stairs without stopping, and it seemed that she was in a hurry to get something before rushing back.
Ye Shuang looked at the back of the person who had disappeared into the door on the second floor in a hurry: "What do you think if you want to drag Catherine out of this muddy water?"
"Then Xia Cheng's game is over, if he doesn't have any more cards." Su Zheng solemnly held up a lollipop as a sign of mourning: "Light up the wax!"
"... Stop messing around." Ye Shuang was speechless. This girl is probably going crazy during the holidays. What's the matter with the feeling of being more and more cheerful recently? Could it be that there is too little work in my team? That's why Su Zheng had so much time to do nothing
Sighing silently, Ye Shuang said patiently: "If Xia Cheng really has no other cards and is no longer being paid attention to, then there is no need to observe this line, and he might as well press it to death...Anyway, I still have A line is hanging, and there is no need to drag this side to get other lists of personnel."
"I'm an assistant, I listen to you." Su Zheng happily stuffed the lollipop back into her mouth, raised her cheeks and said with a smile, "Brother Shuang, what do you think you're going to do to him?"
"Oh, by the way, I won't come back for lunch today, do you have any arrangements?" Catherine, who had already got her things upstairs, came down again in a hurry, with an extra kraft paper pocket in her hand: "After leaving this villa area, , There is a good pizza shop across the street, of course, if you want to cook your own lunch, I put the car keys on the shoe cabinet, and you can drive to the supermarket by yourself.”
"Cathy, go and do your own thing." Ye Shuang smiled gently, comforting a certain woman who seemed to be crazy busy: "We will take care of ourselves, don't worry... Also, I wish you success at work, I will prepare dinner today .”
"Ye, you are so considerate!" Catherine was so moved that she came over and hugged her, and by the way, kissed Ye Shuang's cheeks from left to right, and sighed, "If I were thirty years younger... no, only twenty years younger." I will definitely pursue you crazily."
"That's a pity. I'm also very sorry that I missed a beauty like Cathy." After living in France for a few days, Ye Shuang's flirting skills were also highly rated. Anyway, it's just talking about a dry addiction, and it won't lose a piece of meat.
Catherine came in a hurry, and left in a hurry.
After the back of the other party disappeared outside the door, Su Zheng looked at Ye Shuang deeply for a while with weird eyes.
"What's the problem?" Ye Shuang turned her head and raised her eyebrows.
"..." Su Zheng shook her head, and after thinking about it, she still grabbed her hair and couldn't help but advise: "Brother Shuang... I can understand the customs of the environment here, but don't take your speaking habits back to the country."
In a foreign country, if you express intimacy with others, you will at most treat it as if you are not out, but if the same intimacy is used in China, you may end up with a pile of love debts. Especially Ye Shuang's face is so tempting... Su Zheng is deeply worried about her ability to protect the virginity of "big brother".
Ye Shuang couldn't hold it back anymore, bent her knuckles and knocked on Su Zheng's forehead: "What are you thinking about!"
Su Zheng let out a low cry of pain, covered her forehead with her paws, and quickly raised her head tearfully: "Don't hit your head casually, or people will misunderstand that you are interested in others. For example, beating means kissing or scolding or love..."
Ye Shuang: "..."
At the end of the day, Ye Shuang and Su Zheng chatted together and went shopping. Although there were serious discussions in the middle, they generally had a very leisurely time.
But everyone else is very busy.
Catherine's husband had a concert, and had gone on tour with the orchestra a few days ago. My son also has activities at school, either in class or in club activities, and his small life is extremely fulfilling.
Xia Cheng was doing branch lines for Catherine's family. It was impossible for him to go to the company with Catherine as an outsider, but he could follow the route of his son. If he had nothing to do, he would pretend to be an elder brother to hook up with his son.
Needless to say, Catherine, the new endorsement advertisement is ready to be released, of course she has to prepare for the latest new product release of the last season. And Rong Su...
"Give me a glass of water..."
After dragging the remnant body that had been tossed all day and struggled back to the villa, Rong Su was as miserable as a ruined flower that had been ravaged.
"What's wrong with Xiao Su?" Ye Shuang brought a glass of water and put it in the hand of Rong Su who was lying on the sofa, and sat on the other side of the sofa, curiously asking Qiu Yu.
Qiu Yu pursed her lips and smiled, raised her fingers to stroke her hair: "Director James is in a bad mood, so Ms. Rong's recent work has been relatively difficult."
Ye Shuang frowned: "I remember that Xiao Su has already felt the filming, shouldn't she be singled out for criticism again?"
Although it is true that Brother Shuang helped to open the hook at the beginning, it does not mean that Rong Su is an idiot who does not know how to adapt. Once or twice is fine, after a few more times, no one will need to continue to follow up on how to solve similar problems when you encounter similar problems in the future. It is easy to meet the director's requirements after a few more adjustments.
"Of course it's not about the shooting, I think it should be a psychological factor." Qiu Yu smiled helplessly: "Brother Ye, you haven't given Director James an affirmative answer, have you? Then you suddenly stopped coming, and Director James probably didn't think so much about it. Comfortable."
I understand, to put it bluntly, it was nothing more than venting anger.
Ye Shuang was speechless.
Rong Su drank half a glass of water in one breath before feeling himself alive again. He struggled to get up from the sofa and looked at Ye Shuang miserable: "Brother Ye, I am so pitiful, the bearded uncle is obviously taking out his anger on me, especially today , I feel that he looks at me like I stole his boyfriend."
"...don't talk nonsense!" Ye Shuang didn't know what expression to make.
Qiu Yu thought for a while: "Why don't Brother Ye show his face with us tomorrow? You don't need to stay for long, as long as the director sees you go... Or you come to pick us up and call it a day?"
Ye Shuang looked at Qiu Yu depressedly: "Xiao Su is not me who is filming the endorsement, do you think it is really appropriate for me to grab the show?" Besides, this matter is obviously not just once or twice, it has to make people figure it out and be willing OK.
How can I be willing? For example, agreeing to the request of the other party... Thinking of this, Ye Shuang also began to regret whether she was too low-key when she went there on the first day: "Anyway, there are only a few days left, Xiao Su, just pass it with patience." .”
"The problem is that I can't bear it at all!" Rong Su gritted his teeth and didn't know what to recall. It felt as if he and James already had a deep hatred.
"Brother Ye doesn't have to go there every day." Qiu Yu gently persuaded her again, it seems that she was also tortured a lot... If the director wants to swear, people must understand it first, right? Therefore, as a translator, Qiu Yu is equivalent to being scolded incidentally with Rong Su... "Director James' old friend will come tomorrow, it seems to be Howard from last time." Qiu Yu tried his best to persuade: "Brother Ye will come with him tomorrow." Let's go once, the three of you can chat, as long as Director James is happy, then all the remaining issues will be easy to discuss."
"Howard?" Ye Shuang, who was about to refuse, was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly raised her head: "You mean the screenwriter partner of director James?"
