"The Long Road" is adapted from a novel of the same name written by the famous writer Lu Man based on his personal experience. The story tells the story of two college students from Kochi families who met by chance, cherished each other, developed feelings for each other, and finally had a misunderstanding due to the appearance of a third party, causing the two to part ways, and finally met again ten years later.
The story reflects the oppression and pain suffered by this group in that era by describing the situation of homosexuals in the 1980s and 1990s.
If it develops according to the trajectory of the previous life, Song Yu will play the first male lead, and Han Jin will be the other male lead. The film will start shooting this year and will be released after National Day next year. Due to its subject matter, this movie has a mediocre box office, but it will sweep all major film festivals at the end of next year, and win the Huagui Award, Golden Deer Award for Best Actor, Huagui Award for Best Director, Golden Deer Award for Best Drama, etc. .
Han Jin will also launch a fierce offensive against Song Yu during the filming of this movie. Song Yu, who is like an ancient well, has ripples under Han Jin's persistent pursuit, and will become a lover with Han Jin after a year-long pursuit, and then will Han Jin signed a contract to join his own company, and finally fell into a long-planned lie.
"What's wrong?" Meng Shiping asked.
Song Yu's out-of-focus pupils regained clarity, and he covered the script with a tired expression. He replied, "It's nothing."
Then I asked again: "Do you have an invitation to a variety show?"
"What, what?" Meng Shiping asked again as if he didn't hear clearly.
"Do you have an invitation for a variety show? I want to shoot a variety show."
Meng Shiping couldn't maintain the calmness on his face anymore, he took a breath and tried to maintain his volume, and said, "Now is the rising period of your career. The best actor trophy. Here are three scripts, all of which pay you more than 10 million yuan, but you tell me that you want to make a variety show. Is your rebellious period coming too late? Besides, you don’t like it Variety show, how many variety show invitations have I turned down for you, how many TV station invitations, and how many people in the circle have I offended you over the years?"
At the end, Meng Shiping looked a little out of breath, his chest heaving violently.
Song Yu was not angry, and even wanted to laugh because of Meng Shiping's angry appearance. In the past, he really didn't want to participate in any programs other than acting, and of course it's the same now. But a movie that has been acted in once is like chewing gum, you can't chew any taste in your mouth again, and his current state is not suitable for filming.
Moreover, he wanted to find out if Han Jin had arranged for Meng Shiping to be by his side from the very beginning, so he would have to avoid the movie "The Road Is Long" in this life.
If Han Jin's appearance was really intentional, then no matter what program he was on, the two could meet each other.
Of course, he has an easier way. He took over the movie, and then found someone to follow Meng Shiping 24 hours a day, just like looking for someone to investigate Gao Lei and Zhou Yanqing. In this way, he would be able to tell who Meng Shiping met, who did what, and when Han Jin started. Knows well.
However, a lot of fun was lost in this way. He enjoyed the feeling of looking down on Meng Shiping from the perspective of God.
"You just said something!" Song Yu's silence made Meng Shiping even more angry, and he spoke a little louder.
After a few seconds, Song Yu replied leisurely: "I've been suffering from insomnia lately. Dr. Chen told me not to take on roles with high emotional ups and downs. Of course, it's best not to act."
Meng Shiping's tense shoulders suddenly collapsed: "I started insomnia again? Didn't I control it well? Why didn't you ask me to accompany you when you went to see Dr. Chen?"
Song Yu took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and prepared to light it, glanced at Zhou Yanqing who was half kneeling and tidying up the bookshelves. He put down the lighter again, and replied, "I didn't call because you were busy."
Meng Shiping got up, took two steps back and forth, finally gave in with a sigh, and said, "Stop smoking, I'll make a phone call." After speaking, he strode out.
The sound of closing the door recalled Zhou Yanqing who was in a daze, and he hurriedly continued the work he didn't know when he stopped, but his mind kept churning.
In Zhou Yanqing's cognition, diseases related to insomnia and emotion can only be mental illness or mental illness. Song Yu chose to hang himself two years later because of depression and lost the will to live. The insomnia Song Yu mentioned should be one of the physical symptoms of depression, so Meng Shiping knew about Song Yu's depression? And Song Yu has been in treatment
But why does the obituary issued by the official blog of Song Yu's studio say "Song Yu has been concealing his illness and pretending to be a positive and optimistic person, and the studio staff don't know anything"? Is it just that you are shirking responsibility for fear of arousing the anger of fans? Or is there another secret
The movements in Zhou Yanqing's hands stopped unconsciously, and all his actions were included in Song Yu's eyes.
"Xiao Zhou."
It wasn't until Song Yu called out for the second time that Zhou Yanqing came back to his senses, and hurriedly responded.
Song Yu's eyebrows stretched, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He said, "Why are you in a daze?"
"Ah, I, I'm thinking about my graduation thesis."
Song Yu tilted his head slightly, noncommittal, and asked, "You heard the conversation between me and Brother Meng just now, what do you think of me filming a variety show?"
"Ah, ah?" Zhou Yanqing didn't understand why Song Yu would allow a small assistant to face the conflict between the two of them, and he also didn't understand why Song Yu suddenly asked for advice from his assistant who had only been on the job for a few hours.
"The Long Road" is the most important step for Song Yu to reach the pinnacle of his career, and this movie is related to a person related to Song Yu—Han Jin. He couldn't miss anyone related to Yu. If Song Yu doesn't star in the movie "The Road is Long", then Han Jin and Song Yu may no longer have an intersection.
Zhou Yanqing licked his lips habitually, and thought for a moment before saying: "Mr. Song, are you sick?"
Song Yu was stunned for a moment, as if he forgot his lines while filming, his mind was empty and he didn't know what to say next. In fact, he just wanted to test Zhou Yanqing, but he didn't expect that the other party would ask him such a question. After a while, he replied with an unnatural expression: "Well, maybe."
Zhou Yan smiled lightly: "Then Teacher Song will shoot variety shows."
After Song Yu's death, Zhou Yanqing consulted a lot of information to understand depression. The basis of treatment is to relax the mood, body parts and brain of depression patients. Filming variety shows is actually a good choice.
In the moment of hesitation just now, Zhou Yanqing thought a lot.
When submitting his resume firmly, his idea was very simple. He wanted to get close to Song Yu, and on the premise of not changing Song Yu's life trajectory in his previous life, to reveal certain facts that he hadn't had time to touch in his previous life. He wanted to keep all malice out of Song Yu, he wanted to protect Song Yu, and let him spend that desperate night two years later in peace.
However, just now he suddenly realized that his thoughts had been turned upside down from the very beginning. Two years later, wrapping a rope around his neck resolutely is Song Yu's original life trajectory, and if he wants to save Song Yu, isn't he changing Song Yu's life trajectory by force? So why keep digging into the dead end because of the so-called truth
What he had to do was very simple, and he would stand unswervingly by Song Yu's side from then on, never abandoning, never betraying his promise, and never being as cowardly as a mouse. When Song Yu fell down, he tried his best to support him with both hands. His only goal is to let Song Yu live well, and let other things take their course.
Song Yu was amused by Zhou Yanqing's expression of seeing death as home, and he asked with a smile, "Aren't you on the united front with Brother Meng?"
"United front?"
Zhou Yanqing opened his eyes wide, not understanding why Song Yu asked such a question. His eyes were originally quite big, with dark eyeballs, but now he looked like a meerkat staring up at him with his eyes wide open in a daze.
"Pfft!" Song Yu couldn't help but burst out laughing, if Zhou Yanqing acted out this silly expression, then he should really be the best actor.
At this time, Meng Shiping, who had been away for a long time, came back again, and seeing Song Yu who was laughing so hard, he was a little confused, so he asked, "What happened?"
Song Yu replied with a smile: "It's nothing, I thought of a joke."
Meng Shiping helped his forehead helplessly, resumed his usual calm expression, and sat down again: "Last month, the program director of "Returning to the Garden" contacted me, probably to ask if you are interested, and I directly rejected it at that time." I think this show is a bit interesting, just now I contacted again and made an appointment with the producer to meet tomorrow for a detailed discussion."
Song Yu didn't say anything more, but nodded to show that he understood.
At noon, Song Yu and Meng Shiping went out on business, and they didn't come back until they got off work.
