Floating Garden, Building 4.

A small attic with two floors and seven or eight rooms.

Xiao Guan and others helped Zhou Mu clean up the most spacious bedroom, and by the way, the clothes and daily necessities were arranged neatly one by one according to his habits.

No TV, no computer, no air conditioner, no refrigerator......

Zhou Mu walked around and finally understood what Zhang Huang meant when he said that the living conditions were a little difficult.

Luckily, the phone has a signal and can connect to the data network.

Otherwise, he must be bored. After the visit, he nested in the living room, flipping through the script sent by Zhang Huang.

Thick script, the cover is marked with the words "Sixth Edition".

This also means that this is not the final draft, and there may be uncertainties ahead.

Of course, no matter how much the details change, the framework of the main body will definitely not change.

For example, Zhang Bo's background, the trajectory of his life, and the deeds of writing books and biography are absolutely not allowed to be changed.

However, how the actors act, how the movie is narrated, and what the tone is depends on the director's ideas.

Every director has his own aesthetics.

Someone can make a light-hearted story very thick and lonely. There are also people who can shoot heavy and sad things in a funny, humorous, and humorous way.

So the script, just for reference.

Zhou Mu flipped through the evening and finally browsed all the thick scripts.

It is worthy of a biographical movie, full of heaviness, like an epic.

Through big and small things, it shows the style of the society at that time, in which the struggle of the fate of the characters, the collision of the torrent of the times, and the ups and downs of the country and the collapse of the family are emotional.

Of course, these are dark lines for film critics to study.

Anyway, the script seems to tell Zhang Bo's life, ignorant and talented when he was young, and depraved in his youth, profligate and indulgent......

Then the situation was turbulent and he was forced to get involved in the mighty era.

When he reached middle age, he dragged his tired body and a scarred heart, returned to his hometown, lived in seclusion in a grass cottage on the outskirts of the mountains, and devoted himself to writing.

The glory, ups and downs, joys and sorrows of most of his life are all integrated into the book.

The book is completed, and he goes away with a smile, not in this life.

After reading the script, Zhou Mu also understood why Shi Longyan opposed making this movie.

Because in the script, Zhang Bo's experience is too "detailed". It's as if his life experience is what is depicted in the movie.

The problem is that most of Zhang Bo's deeds are reasonably "verified" by later generations through various clues, and the truth or falsehood has not yet been conclusive.

Some people think it's true, some people think it's false.

There are also some deeds that are obviously false, but due to the needs of the plot, they are placed on Zhang Bo's body, isn't this nonsense?

Jokes are not nonsense......

Not to mention, in Shi Longyan's mind, even jokes are not allowed.

When such a movie is made, it is to mislead people's children.

It's no wonder that he doesn't object.

Zhang Huang delusionally wants to break the stubbornness and prejudice of Shi Longyan and others through the appeal of film and television performing arts, difficult, difficult, difficult......

But these people are already preconceived and accustomed to conformism, how can they easily shake their faith?

Zhou Mu shook his head, not optimistic about Zhang Huang's decision.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, the plan failed, and he is not responsible.

The next morning, Zhou Mu came to a large hall, which could be regarded as a class.

When he entered, he found that he was not the only one who came to receive training, but also twenty or thirty actors of all kinds, different ages, tall, short, fat and thin.

These should be the central actors of the film.

Because they didn't wear makeup, Zhou Mu couldn't determine what role these people played through their physical characteristics.

But these people know very well that Zhou Mu plays the protagonist.

The moment he entered, dozens of pairs of eyes converged, and the emotions in their eyes were different. There is curiosity, there is indifference, there is hostility, there is friendliness, there is scrutiny......

For some people, being able to participate in a super project created by a big director is undoubtedly a great thing to celebrate.

In their respective companies and circle of friends, they are all the focus.

But no matter how beautiful it is, can there be a protagonist scenery?

Not to mention, after Zhou Mu was appointed as the protagonist by Zhang Huang, all kinds of smooth sailing have been going smoothly for most of the year, not only has his popularity exploded, but his career has soared all the way. In private, everyone feels that he has secured a position on the front line.

When the movie is finished and released, it may be a super first-line ......

Winners in life, but that's it.

In the complicated sight of everyone, Zhou Mu calmly walked into the front row. In the middle, in the position with the best view, his name tag was placed.

He sat down and looked left and right, also quite surprised.

"Teacher Zhou......"

The two people next to him agreed and greeted him with a smile. Zhou Mu responded separately, but the different colors in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

On his left is Hua Nai, and on his right is Han Xiaoman.

So......

Which one is the heroine?

Zhou Mu was puzzled, and he was embarrassed to ask.

Because at this time, Bu Jin walked in and began to lecture.

Zhou Mu had no choice but to restrain his mind and listen carefully. After half an hour, everyone rested for 10 minutes, and then other experts and scholars continued to speak......

These experts and scholars are carefully selected, and each of them is not only rich in common sense, but more importantly, the language is humorous and very gripping.

Everyone thought it was interesting and impressed, and they kept it in mind.

Time flies by due to focus. In a blink of an eye, the morning class was over, and Zhou Mu felt that he had gained a lot.

He got up and stretched his body, and Hua Nai came over, with a pair of smiling eyes shining brightly, "Teacher Zhou, can you eat together?"

“...... All right. ”

Don't get me wrong, this was not said by Zhou Mu, and before he agreed, Han Xiaoman next to him also came over to help him answer.

Two charismatic beauties invite him to dine together.

Such an unbridled request, of course, he is......

Promise.

At that moment, the three of them walked in parallel and headed in the direction of the cafeteria.

In the main hall, a group of people who had not left looked at each other with their eyes flickering.

“...... Stop gossiping. ”

Caught off guard, someone said calmly: "Two women, one of them must be the heroine, she should listen to the director's instructions and cultivate a tacit understanding with the male protagonist." ”

"Ugh!"

As soon as the others heard this, they immediately realized that this should be the truth.

Otherwise, whether it is Hua Nai or Han Xiaoman, at such an age, it is the most taboo time for scandals, how dare they get so close to young male artists.

Before the experts and scholars arrived, some people had already tried to strike up a conversation with them, but they got a very polite smile and a variety of official words.

What company has regulations, said the broker uncle......

The reasons are one after another, so that you can't pick up at all. Two or three people in a row were defeated and became a joke, and no one dared to show ugliness anymore.

In fact, everyone also understands that it's not that the girl is cold, but ......

You're not red.

Eating with Zhou Mu, aren't you afraid of scandals?

Hey!!

I'm really not afraid.

Hua Nai and Han Xiaoman, no matter how fierce the momentum of development is, they still belong to the stage of newcomer Xiaohua, no matter how popular they are, no one thinks they are a first-line.

The strange thing is that Zhou Mu, who is also a newcomer, belongs to the new front line in the impression of many people.

So the three of them had a scandal, obviously two female stars, rubbing against Zhou Mu's popularity.

The public believes it or not, anyway, they take advantage. Strange logic is also one of the strange phenomena in the entertainment industry.

After discussing a few words softly, someone greeted: "Let's go, let's go to dinner, and then we have to find an opportunity to say hello to the protagonist." ”

"Yes......"

A group of people smiled and left in groups.

No matter what they are thinking, but for the protagonist of the movie, or for Zhou Mu, they dare not slack off.

Superficial respect and friendship are essential.

In a moment, the main hall was empty. In the corner, there was an inconspicuous young man, who pressed the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, slowly stood up, and walked with his head down.

One step, two steps, three steps......

He walked slowly, but he was very steady.

Most importantly, his arms are immobilized and his shoulders are not moving.

This kind of gait is clearly the way of walking of ancient literati that experts and scholars have just demonstrated to everyone. From his skillful movements, you can know that this is definitely not the first time he has tried to practice, he has been learning for a while and has formed a habit.

When he walked outside, someone was beside him, beckoning softly, "Xiao Meng, here." ”

As soon as the young man's steps turned, his body was still so upright, like a green pine and cypress, without the slightest bending or twist.

It was a middle-aged man who beckoned, and after the young man came over, he immediately took out two food boxes and said with a smile: "Don't go to the cafeteria to join in the fun, I have made you a meal, eat it while it's hot." ”

"Thank you!"

The young man took the food box and went to the pavilion next to him with the middle-aged man.

Hearty meal with an enticing glow. The young man took his course, following the ancient etiquette, and swallowed and ate slowly.

The middle-aged man saw it and couldn't help but say, "Xiao Meng, you are almost like the ancients now, so you should have less contact with those people, so as not to expose yourself." ”

The young man remained silent and continued to chew slowly.

The middle-aged man was used to it, and he didn't need the young man to respond, so he continued: "How do you feel when you see Zhou Mu?"

For a moment, the young man moved slightly, pausing for several seconds.

After that, he finished the last bite of his meal silently and swallowed it completely before he spoke, his voice mellow and clear, "He has changed." ”

"It's definitely changing. ”

The middle-aged man smiled and said softly: "Do you think he graduated only three years ago and is a nobody who sharpens himself in the repertory troupe?"

"No, he is now a first-line star, and any endorsement fee starts from several million. Not to mention, the two directors who directed broke the box office record of small-budget films. ”

The middle-aged man's tone was full of envy, "Now he is the star of tomorrow, the object of admiration of tens of millions of fans, the target of capital, and the walking money printing machine." ”

The young man frowned, "Uncle, don't be so vulgar. ”

"What do you mean by vulgarity?"

The middle-aged man sighed helplessly, "Okay, then say something elegant...... You and he were in the same class, a class, a teacher, and you entered the repertory troupe. ”

It's just that two years ago, he was moved by Yang Hong's words and signed a contract with Qinghong Culture, and then he was out of control and had today's achievements. ”

"What about you?"

The middle-aged man said slowly: "I have been in the repertory troupe for three years...... Yes, you are in the group, everyone treats you well, and gives you a chance to make you a corner. ”

"Some awards, you got it, a lot of honors. But...... After leaving the repertory troupe, how many people know who you are?"

The middle-aged man lowered his voice, "You go outside, the busiest street, and shout that I am Meng Qingzhou, and see who cares about you? ”

But Zhou Mu, even if he is tightly wrapped and appears on the street, there is no need to shout at all, I am afraid that there will be a group of people who can identify his identity through clues, and then rush up to ask for autographs and group photos. ”

The middle-aged man asked, "As a peer, haven't you thought about such treatment?"

“......”

Meng Qingzhou silently covered the food box, but the light in his eyes was like a flame, blazing and burning.

The middle-aged man smiled, "Now is the best opportunity, Director Zhang Huang has taken a fancy to you and intends to let you play the leading role, Zhou Mu is the biggest obstacle." ”

"So, kill him, replace you in the position, and you will have everything. ”

The middle-aged man clenched his fists and said fiercely: "Flowers, applause, money, beautiful women...... Ahem, if you don't care about the last two, I can reluctantly ......"

“......”

Meng Qingzhou didn't want to pay attention to him, but still spoke: "I feel a little sorry for him, after all, I have been practicing for more than half a year, and he has only just started." ”

"What's the matter with you?"

The middle-aged man hurriedly said: "This is Director Zhang Huang's decision, didn't he say it, what he really likes is you, but I'm afraid that you won't be able to withstand the conspiracy and calculations in all aspects, so I pushed the boat and lifted Zhou Mu's hand......"

"Besides, Zhou Mu has no loss. ”

The middle-aged man said with a heart: "He took the title of the protagonist, attracted a lot of attention, and directly squeezed into the front line." Speaking of which, it was his luck. ”

No loss?

Meng Qingzhou shook his head gently, he was not stupid, he naturally knew that when the news of the change of the protagonist spread, Zhou Mu would definitely become a joke, and I don't know how many people fell into him.

That's not right.

The middle-aged man was anxious, "Don't tell me, you want to back down and fulfill him?"

How can it be!

Meng Qingzhou shook his head again, he had waited for this opportunity for three years, how could he give it up? Three years of dormancy, just to one day, soar into the sky.

became famous in one fell swoop.

He stood up and sighed: "I just think that Director Zhang Huang is wrong to do this...... Alas, I really want to tell him the truth and let him prepare early. ”

"Don't mess around. ”

The middle-aged man was startled, shocked and anxious, "Now is a critical juncture, everything has not been settled, don't destroy Director Zhang's layout." ”

"What you have to do now is to endure and endure and endure!"

The middle-aged man warned: "You dare to tell him, believe me or not...... Strangled yourself to show you. ”

"Uncle ......"

Meng Qingzhou was helpless, glanced at the direction of the corridor, and sighed bitterly.

I can only be sorry for Zhou Mu.
