407, two dads
After the two little girls entered the bookstore, they looked around and saw Gu Meng in the café by the window.
He was holding a little chubby girl, and opposite him sat a literary young man in his thirties.
The young man was holding a baby about a year old in his arms.
This scene looks like a date between two dads.
"It's really Gu Mengye!"
The girl named Xiaowen and her best friend stood next to the bookshelf, pretending to flip through the books, squinting at Gu Meng on the card seat.
"Xiaoyuan, let's get him to sign it!"
"Ah, just like that?"
"Silly, this is a bookstore, Gu Meng is a best-selling author, we can buy a book and ask him to sign it"
"Great idea!"
The two picked two Little Mages.
The book sold well on the island, winning the island's children's book publishing award and being featured in newspapers.
When Xiaowen walked over with the book, she heard Gu Meng and the young man talking about movies, what Chinese movies, Hollywood movies, hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office, hitting the Oscars...
Xiaowen was secretly surprised when she heard this, so amazing!
She has filmed commercials, and half of the insiders deeply understand what Hollywood and the Oscars represent, but she doesn't dare to fantasize about it, because... It's too far away!
And when the two people in front of them were talking, they looked confident, and they didn't know that they thought they were bragging?
"Little beauty, is there something wrong?"
Suddenly, the two stopped talking, Gu Meng turned his head and asked with a smile.
Xiaowen suddenly reacted, only to find that she had unconsciously walked to the middle of the table, and her best friend was still hiding behind the bookshelf, pretending to read a book.
Her face turned red, she lowered her head and looked at the book, and said boldly: "Mr. Gu, I am your book lover, can you help me sign it?"
"Haha, no problem, thank you for liking my book!"
Gu Meng took the little mage and flipped through it, the traditional version, beautifully bound and illustrated.
He took the pen and smiled and asked, "Little beauty, can you know your name?"
"Jia Jingwen!"
The little beauty said immediately.
"Haha, I wish Jia Jingwen more and more beautiful and smarter!"
Gu Meng smiled slightly, held the pen and wrote a blessing, and signed his name.
"Thank you, Mr. Gu!"
Jia Jingwen looked at the signature on the inner cover, the iron hook silver painting, the atmosphere is majestic, and I like it very much.
"Mr. Gu, can you sign another one for me?"
"Okay!"
After a while, Jia Jingwen and her best friend both got the autographs, and the two thanked each other happily.
Just as he was about to say goodbye and leave, Gu Meng suddenly spoke, "Classmate Jia Jingwen, your conditions are very good, do you have any idea of entering the showbiz..."
After Gu Meng spoke, Jia Jingwen was completely stunned, Superman actually thought that I was suitable to be a star?omg, her brain was like tens of thousands of little bees, buzzing and buzzing, until she came out of the bookstore and slowly came back to her senses in the screams of her best friend.
"What just happened?" she asked, a little confused.
The best friend blushed and said excitedly, "Xiaowen, Mr. Gu thinks you are very talented, and wants to invite you to join Crafts Entertainment, and gave you a business card!"
"Huh?"
Jia Jingwen looked at the business card in her hand in a daze, only Gu Meng and a string of phone numbers, "Is this true?"
"Hahaha, of course, this is a superhuman invitation, do you know craftsmanship entertainment? Zhou Xingchi and Qiu Shuzhen are both actors of craftsmanship entertainment, both are big stars who are popular in craftsmanship, in addition to the two of them, the little diva Wang Xiaofei is also crafting, and there are seven fairies of craftsmanship, all of them are very beautiful, Xiaowen, you are so lucky, you want to be a big star~"
Listening to her best friend's screams, Jia Jingwen blinked, "But I glared at him just now, and said that he was not good-looking, will he lie to me and trick me?"
"Haha, it's very likely, I heard that Superman is a little lustful, maybe he sent you a business card to seduce you~, this matter is too dangerous, why don't I go for you!"
The girlfriend snatched the business card and ran ahead laughing.
"Don't run, give it back!"
......
Seeing the two frolicking girls outside the window, Gu Meng shook his head and smiled, "Director Li, how was that girl just now, does she have the potential to become a star?"
Director Li An thought for a while with a coffee cup, "It looks pretty good, but it doesn't meet the aesthetics of foreign audiences"
Gu Meng smiled lightly, "Director Li, what about me?"
"You?"
Director Li smiled, "You have a darker complexion, a tough edge, three-dimensional facial features, and a very recognizable personality, plus your body, your conditions are very suitable for Hollywood's taste, I thought about cooperating with you..."
"Haha!"
Gu Meng laughed a few times, "Director Li, you don't look for me, not because of the salary, but because you're worried about my acting skills, right?"
Director Li smiled, pointed at him and said, "I don't like to talk to you, because you always like to tell the truth, and it's easy to make the atmosphere very embarrassing!"
Burst~
Gu Meng hurriedly covered his mouth, this is a literary style bookstore café, and spraying coffee is a big taboo.
He reluctantly held back the coffee in his mouth and said with a smile: "Director Li, you still rhyme when you speak, do you want to consider being a lyricist?"
Director Li shrugged his shoulders, "Didn't you write it to me?" A few years ago, I couldn't find a job in the United States, so I submitted resumes and scripts everywhere, and I also wrote a few English songs, but unfortunately... No one found out about my talent."
Gu Meng wiped his sweat, and suddenly found that this Director Li was not only funny but also sullen, could this be the problem that he had suffocated in Milican in those years?
After graduating, Director Li had a bad job and stayed at home for six years, during which he was supported by his wife.
His main job every day is to take care of the children, cook, write scripts, and occasionally go to the crew to do chores, such as taking care of equipment, being a drama manager, and helping passers-by who are blocking onlookers during filming.
He is a combination of otaku + dad + family cook.
In the end, he couldn't survive anymore in Mirican, so he continued to mix on the island, and it wasn't until he wrote a script "Pusher" last year, won the Excellent Screenplay Award from the Information Bureau, got a prize of 400,000 yuan, and was ready to shoot "Pusher", and his life ushered in a turning point.
But now, his movie is still in preparation, his wife is busy at work, his second child is less than a year old, and he still needs to continue to be a father at home.
Gu Meng smiled, "Director Li, I appreciate your talent and want to cooperate with you, is there a chance?"
"Here's your chance!"
Director Li excitedly took out a script from his backpack, which was the pusher.
Since "Pusher" won the award last year, China Television is ready to invest 10 million to shoot this movie.
At the current exchange rate, NT$10 million is less than $350,000.
And the background of this movie is in the United States, and the money is simply not enough.
During this time, Director Li has been negotiating with China Film to invest, but unfortunately the other party can't move, and the cap is 10 million.
Director Li was worried, and suddenly heard that Gu Meng wanted to cooperate, isn't this joy falling from the sky?
"You mean, you want me to invest in promoters?"
Gu Meng read the script and hesitated a little.
This movie is similar to the 'Hanjing people in New York', which will be popular in the mainland in the future, and it is about Chinese people who have gone abroad, and due to cultural differences, they are not used to it.
This film is good, but it was not released in the mainland, because the background of the actor Zhu Laotou in the play involves domestic politics.
"Could it be possible to change the cause of Old Man Zhu's wife's death a little?"
"This..."
Director Li hesitated, he is a screenwriter and a director, the script is his hard work, and he really doesn't want to change it.
"Director Li, don't worry, you think about it slowly, I will also go to the United States to make a movie in a while, and it will not be too late for you to make a decision at that time!"
"Okay!"
"Wow wow~"
The two men were talking, and suddenly the little guy in Director Li's arms suddenly cried.
"Oh, what's wrong with Xiao Chunchun?"
Director Li lowered his head and saw that the little guy was peeing, and he took out a diaper from his backpack and changed it for the little guy.
"Shame, shame, how old are you still peeing your pants!"
Little Gollum lay on the table, shaving his little face.
Xiao Chunchun is still young, and she is not ashamed at all, she should cry or cry.
After changing the diaper, Director Li sighed, "It's so tiring to take care of the child!"
Gu Meng nodded approvingly.
"Indeed~"
The two dads looked at each other and smiled.
