It was like a row of dominoes being gently pushed down to the beginning, and then a long winding row of small wooden blocks toppled one after another until the end.
The phrase "what do you say" produced exactly such an effect.
And Ruan Yu's heart was the last domino.
Sometimes, it is not the strongest and most straightforward love words that are the most touching.
The scenery hidden at the end of the 18th bend mountain road may be more gorgeous and shocking than that on the straight road.
The two stood still for a long time.
So long that most likely, if no one speaks, they will remain in this position until one of them is exhausted.
Then Xu Huaisong smiled.
Ruan Yu stammered and asked, "Why, what's the matter?"
"You know, your heart beats as fast as someone's back?"
"..."
Why do you have to expose it? Ruan Yu broke free quickly, took the key and unlocked the door, a mouse jumped in, closed the door with a "snap" and leaned against the door panel, wanting to cry without tears.
Don't live up to it, don't live up to it, during the day I was thinking about grinding this old fox for a while, but when someone teased her casually, she fell down.
no.
Ruan Yu took a breath, turned around and opened the door again, and sure enough, Xu Huaisong was still standing outside.
She leaned on the edge of the door and poked her head out, and said, "Then do you know that among the ten fastest animals on land, there are hares?"
Xu Huaisong frowned, as if he was quite puzzled by the writers' random questions, but he still answered seriously: "I don't know, I haven't studied it."
Ruan Yu went on to say meaningfully: "A rabbit that looks timid and easy to bully can run at a speed of fifty miles per hour, just like a lion. Among these ten animals, the fox is not on the list at all."
Xu Huaisong frowned again: "So?"
"So good night!"
She rolled her eyes and closed the door again, leaving Xu Huaisong alone in this "thinking question".
After returning home and taking a shower, Ruan Yu lay comfortably on the bed when he suddenly heard a cell phone vibrate.
He thought it was Xu Huaisong who had arrived at the hotel to report his safety, but when he opened it, he saw an email from Universal Vision.
To be precise, it was an invitation letter, inviting her to attend the script writing meeting of "I Really Want to Whisper My Ear with You" next Tuesday.
Next Tuesday is the day after tomorrow.
Ruan Yu rested his chin and began to consider.
The film adaptation rights of "Good Thinking" were signed to Huanshi as early as the beginning of June. Originally, she sold this IP mainly to open up a new business line and move from the Internet literature circle to a broader development platform, but because of male With the prototype of the main character by her side, she felt that it would be difficult for her to devote herself to the follow-up creation as if nothing had happened, so she told Global Vision that she might not participate in the screenwriting work.
This invitation letter from Huanshi is probably just a symbolic question to see if she has changed her mind.
Of course it wouldn't change. But by coincidence, she happened to verify one thing today, and this reminded Xu Huaisong of the answer "Is there any reason not to agree" when he asked Xu Huaisong if he should agree to hand over this IP to Universal Vision.
At that time, he knew that she was writing about him, but he was still willing to let this story be told to more people in this way.
Then why is she still timid
Ruan Yu got out of bed, turned on the phone and sent an email to Huanshi to express his gratitude, and said that he would attend the meeting on time next Tuesday. Going back to bed and lying down, I received a WeChat message from Xu Huaisong.
He said, "The fox will chase the rabbit more."
She smiled a little at the screen.
On Tuesday, Ruan Yu arrived at Huanshi Pictures on time.
Because the meeting time was early in the morning, she didn't ask Xu Huaisong to get up early to be her driver, and took the bus that could go directly to the nearby area.
Huanshi's single-family office building is quite dazzling in this land where every inch of land is precious.
Ruan Yu reported her name at the front desk on the first floor, and immediately a secretary-like person came to receive her, briefly introduced the floor layout to her, and finally took her to the conference room on the seventh floor.
Most of the participants were already seated inside. Looking at the red background and black letters on the table, the first place was the film producer, followed by the producer, followed by a row of screenwriters and editorial reviewers.
Ruan Yu's ticket was relatively late, and he was given the title of "Script Consultant".
After she replied to the email that day, the producer Zheng Shan was very happy to arrange this position for her.
The meeting room was quite quiet, with only a few rustling sounds occasionally, and Ruan Yu's seat did not cause any disturbance.
Not long after, the remaining ones arrived one after another, and finally the producer came in, and most of the people in the room stood up.
On the other hand, Zheng Shan looked very easy-going, and gestured and said, "Everyone sit down. I'm sorry everyone. Mr. Wei is delayed by something. Let's start this meeting first."
Wei Dong refers to the film producer who is the protagonist, and is also one of the directors of Huanshi.
A row of people expressed their understanding, they were more flexible, they spoke Mandarin casually, and the workplace atmosphere was quite strong.
Ruan Yu joined the playwright team later, so he inevitably behaved relatively quietly. As if seeing her restraint, Zheng Shan first introduced her to everyone: "This is the original author Wen Xiang, who will join our drama creation team as a script consultant from today on."
Ruan Yu got up and nodded to everyone, a few compliments of "youth" came from around him, and he quickly returned to silence.
Zheng Shan joked: "Everyone is too restrained! Our drama creation team is very young, with an average age of less than thirty, do you look young?" After she finished speaking, she gestured for the secretary next to her to show the PPT, Said, "Since you're all so bored, let me give you some information first."
The projector cast a high-definition stage photo onto the screen.
Ruan Yu raised his head and was suddenly taken aback.
The person in the photo is sitting in front of a grand piano, wearing a white shirt and a pair of thin-rimmed glasses, playing the piano with his head down.
Before she could react, Zheng Shan asked: "Maybe I don't know her well, it's quite different from now. This is Li Shican before his debut. When he was a freshman, he performed in the Top Ten Campus Singer Contest. Who do you think he looks like?" ?”
"Ouch," someone finally broke the dull atmosphere, "Isn't this our male lead!"
Ruan Yu was startled.
Zheng Shan laughed: "Look, Xiao Xianrou is still attractive."
Someone asked again: "Mr. Zheng, our male lead has decided on Li Shican?"
"Shh," Zheng Shan gestured, "It's basically finalized, internal digestion is enough, all right, let's start the meeting."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ruan Yu's cell phone vibrated, indicating that it was Xu Huaisong's message.
It's not convenient to go back now, she put her mobile phone in her pocket and lost herself in thought while holding the conference brochure.
Damn, Li Shican is the main male choice.
It was already twelve o'clock when the meeting was over. Zheng Shan seemed very busy, and hurried to other places to discuss matters. She didn't have time to greet everyone, and asked the secretary to arrange lunch and lounge for everyone.
But Ruan Yu felt that he might not need the arrangement here. Because on the phone, Xu Huaisong sent a message an hour ago: "I'm near Huanshi, call me when the meeting is over."
She thanked the secretary, sent a message to Xu Huaisong, and took the elevator downstairs. When she got out of the elevator, she heard the two screenwriters at the meeting in front of her discussing something in a low voice.
One of them said: "Traffic stars are good, but Li Shican was involved in a suicide scandal a while ago. I heard from friends in the circle that the impact was quite large. The company is dissatisfied with his self-explosion, and may secretly reduce his activities. and endorsements…”
"You don't understand this, it's called..."
Ruan Yu couldn't hear the words any further.
She frowned, took out her mobile phone, opened Li Shican's Weibo and looked back and forth, and found nothing unusual except that she hadn't updated it for a while. And the WeChat dialog with him also stayed on the message that he said "it's all resolved, there is no negative impact".
Xu Huaisong's news just came back at this time: "Come to the door."
It was not easy to park at the entrance of Huanshi, so she had to temporarily put aside Li Shican's affairs and go out in a hurry.
After she put on her seat belt, Xu Huaisong stepped on the accelerator and left, saying, "This meeting has been going on longer than usual."
Ruan Yu was still thinking about the casting of the male lead, and said "um" and "ah" a few times: "I heard that the drama creation meeting takes ten hours from time to time to lay the groundwork. Today is the first time it is considered easy."
Xu Huaisong keenly sensed that she was absent-minded, so he turned his head and glanced at her.
Ruan Yu was secretly thinking about it. The result of the casting was internal information. It might not be good to say it directly, but if he didn't say it, would Xu Huaisong be so angry that he would enter the showbiz when he found out
She cleared her throat and said in a roundabout way, "Do you have any opinions on casting?"
While driving the car to a nearby restaurant, Xu Huaisong looked ahead and answered, "What should I think?"
Ruan Yu smiled "hehe": "Have you read my novel, I can refer to your opinion. Do you think there are any suitable candidates in the current entertainment industry who can be the hero and heroine?"
Xu Huaisong was silent: "I don't understand, probably not."
Yo, do you really want to do it yourself
The corner of Ruan Yu's mouth twitched: "You have to pick someone from the entertainment industry, and it's impossible to really recruit some layman who is an accountant, doctor, and lawyer to act."
The tone in Xu Huaisong's ears sounded a bit ambiguous, and he half-braked, slowed down the car, and glanced at her.
Ruan Yu straightened his back: "Did I say something wrong?"
"No." Xu Huaisong pinched the steering wheel and frowned, as if he was thinking about something.
Ruan Yu glanced at him, and continued: "Then if the crew chooses a male star you don't like to play the leading role, as the hero... this novel was able to get rid of the plagiarism dispute, will you regret letting me sell the IP? "
Xu Huaisong drove the car to the side of the road, stopped completely this time, stared at her and said, "Are you telling me now that Li Shican is going to play your male lead?"
