Chapter 011: The Sea of Trees (5)
Tree Sea Shine (5)
(i) Twenty persons. 20 years.
In the small tent of Sinya, it was empty.
Except for a backpack and two small maza, there are no emergency lights, thermos cups, sleeping bags and bedding in sight. She must have only recently arrived here, and she didn't plan to spend the night here.
Perhaps, Sinya hooked me in, and there must have been something else, as a witness when she died in the sea of trees.
In one day, witnessing two young lives dying in the sea of trees, forget it, my nerves are so big?
After chatting with Xin Ya about business, hurry up and slip away, before it gets dark, especially before Qin Xu comes back. The most hypocritical thing is the parting between life and death - pretending to be confused, and insincere.
Coldly, Xinya took my hand. The intimacy of strangers, extremely annoying, for the reason - very strange!
Even as we both sat down, her hands were still holding mine, her thumb rubbing the back of my hand, her index finger scratching my palm...... Oh my god, this routine is very familiar, it's all the rest of my play!
It was expected that Xin Ya and I Liu Xin'er are all the way, lying is the same as breathing, and if you lack oxygen, you will have to die.
This thing is still a little jerky when I first went to college, but it's already very good, at least it can get Gao Xiaoxi.
On the first day of university registration, Gao Xiaoxi took the first step into the dormitory, I held her hands, rubbed the back of her hand with my thumb, scratched her palm with my index finger, pulled her back and forth with my mouth, and looked her up and down with my eyes, looking at her inside and out.
In less than a minute, the scan conclusion came out, what is this called, it's called Gao Xiaoxi, this girl is in front of me, so it's not a child at all.
Gao Xiaoxi's palms gradually became hot and sweaty, so I won't let go, I'll just wait for her.
"Hmm. Sister Liu Xin'er, you ...... me You've been so good to me. ”
Not bad, Gao Xiaoxi, it's very interesting - I like it!
Xinya in front of her, she is not a dull, shriveled, and chattering Gao Xiaoxi, she can simply fight with the 20-year-old plateau!
I was stunned, not an ordinary stunned, stunned. But Xinya, after all, it's not a plateau, and it depends on how I deal with her.
I coldly withdrew my hands and slipped them into the butt pockets of my jeans without much care.
"Xinya, why are you lying to me in your letter?"
"Eh, Liu Xin'er, it's only been ten minutes since we met, why do you keep saying that I lied?"
"Hmph! Before I signed the contract with Fragrance, had you seen the electronic version of "The Kidnapper's Whispering"?"
"yes, I saw it in the Copyright Center...... Is this still false?"
"Hmm. Are you sure? Are you sure the title of the script is 'The Kidnappers'?"
"Liu Xin'er, let's not go around in circles, can we?
"Xinya, are you pretending, or do you really know, the titles are all set by the plateau!"
"Of course you know, doesn't that prove that I didn't lie to you, Liu Xin'er?"
"Every time, after Gao Yuan sent me the title, according to the confidentiality agreement, until the contract was signed and made public, how could you know about the existence of "Kidnapper's Whisper" a week in advance!"
"Hmm...... Forget it, Liu Xin'er, I won't play hide and seek with you, let's look at this. ”
Sinya handed me my phone. A video of about 3 minutes.
It was Xin Ya who appeared in the camera, holding a selfie stick, and showing me the underground database of the Fragrance Company's copyright center.
In the not very spacious space, there are neatly arranged aluminum alloy storage shelves, much like a school library, but more modern, with LCD screens and monitors everywhere.
On the aluminum alloy storage shelf, the stack is the copyright achievement of Fragrance Company. The general order is that from top to bottom is the time, and from left to right are the works.
Outside the lattice are hung with the original plastic "copyright information...... Author's name, title of work, authorization time, ownership of rights, handwritten signature, company seal, etc.
I glanced up at Xinya.
"Be patient, Liu Xin'er, be patient. ”
Reward me for my patience, huh...... The hairs of the successful sneak attack stand on end.
The top-down shelves are marked with the year 1999 on the top floor and 2019 on the bottom floor.
From the left hand, the first column is marked with "Lip Horror", the second column is "The Kidnapper's Whisper", the third column is "The Sea of Trees", the fourth column is "Love in the Dangerous City", and the fifth column is "Lady Shadow...... The farthest column, the focus is very empty, but you can also guess the approximately, "Cemetery Fragrance".
Since 20 years ago, 20 screenwriters, including my Liu Xin'er, have written scripts with exactly the same name.
These scripts, including my own, have been lying in that basement for 20 years...... The heart exploded. The head blew up.
(J) No. XIX. Sinya.
"Xinya, can you go outside the tent and say, I want to smoke...... The motherboard burned. ”
"No, Liu Xin'er, I don't mind...... At the beginning, I was more confused than you. ”
"Xinya, can you, can you tell me with five semicolons...... I'm all gone. ”
"Haha, five semicolons, it's hard...... Well, then I'll give it a try. ”
"You're so nice, Sister Xinya...... You've been so good to me. ”
In an instant, I became Gao Xiaoxi 12 years ago, that helpless and pitiful look, it's really unbearable...... I'm sorry, Gao Xiaoxi, I'll double it back to you.
"Plateau, planning a series, began in 1999, when Fragrance was founded. ”
"The first semicolon. ”
"Gao Yuan is crazy, changing screenwriters every year, it's you in 2019, Liu Xin'er!"
"The second semicolon. ”
"For twenty years, this weird series, all the script titles, have remained the same. ”
"The third semicolon. ”
"Whether it's a collection or a commemoration, anyway, the script will always lie in the basement. ”
"The fourth semicolon. ”
"I'll do my best to contact the 19 screenwriters before you - the world has evaporated!"
"The fifth semicolon...... Thank you, Sister Xinya, what about the conclusion?"
"The conclusion? The conclusion is that the next one to 'evaporate' is you, Liu Xin'er!"
"But Sister Xin Ya, you 'evaporate' first! The sea of trees behind you!"
"Eh, Liu Xin'er, I don't like the tone of your voice...... Why are you mocking me!"
"Xinya, if you don't lie, you'll really suffocate! Lie, how can I help you!"
"I don't have it, I don't have ...... Well, you're ruthless! How did you guess?"
"You said in your letter, 'Every grain of sand that flows out of the hands of the plateau is stronger than mine.'" ”
"Liu Xin'er! Those nineteen screenwriters, which one of them is a hundred times stronger than you!"
"Go on, Sinya. ”
"Your broken script, unbelievable, unsightly, I like it!"
"Go on, Sinya...... Do you smoke?"
"Get out! Don't smoke! The plateau spoils you, Lu Mingchuan loves you...... But you, why!"
"Go on, Sinya. ”
", go on, keep you up?...... No, no!"
"You, Xinya, you're the screenwriter in front of me, number 19!"
It's over, and it poked Xinya's tears. She threw herself into my arms and put her arms around my neck. Hey, Mom, Xin Ya's crying makes my eyes moist and my heart sticky.
Dare to be affectionate, the last passer-by in the sea of trees, it is unknown whether he can return the same way as Xinya's howl.
(K) Feed the sharks. Manuscript.
I waited for her, waited for her to get tired of crying, waited for her to speak the truth willingly.
It seemed that it was almost there, and the howl turned into sobbing, but Xinya's body still spasmed. I had to hug her tightly, so that she could be warmer and more grounded, and maybe let her wake up sooner.
Xinya gently pushed me away and looked at me with teary eyes.
"Liu Xin'er, help me, they are all dead...... I don't want to die!
"Xinya, don't mess with you, how can you ...... who 'they' are?"
"It's 18 screenwriters other than the two of us...... Help me!
"Xinya, calm down, what do you mean by 'evaporation from the world'?"
"Death, car accident, drowning, martyrdom, fire, feeding sharks, food poisoning, ......"
"Stop, stop, Xinya...... Meaning, it's not going to be a good death!"
"I worked a lot, 18 people have been verified, yes, all of them must not die!"
"But how can you be sure that the next one is you Xinya, not me Liu Xin'er?"
"Because, because, it's my turn! Because, a week ago, Gao Yuan forced me to hand over my manuscript!"
"Manuscripts? Why does Gao Yuan want manuscripts? Manuscripts are not included in copyright!"
"The 18 screenwriters in front of them were all forced to hand over their manuscripts, without exception. ”
"Gao Yuan is really crazy? The manuscript and the finished script are fundamentally different things!"
"But Gao Yuan just wants to get the manuscript...... At any cost, by any means!"
"Xin Ya, is there a character of Gao Xiaoxi in your "Lip Whispering"?"
"No, no. ”
"In your "Kidnappers", is there a fragrant band, Zhao Xingyu, and a cook?"
"No! How can different screenwriters write the same plot? It's just the same name!"
"Xinya, what do you say in your letter that 'the plateau is as if it has never been to the world'?"
"Fake! You know! The past and present lives of Gao Yuan and Lu Mingchuan are all fakes!"
"Xinya, what is the name of the last script you handed over to Gao Yuan?"
"Lady Shadow. ”
"Xinya, look me in the eye...... Have you hidden all your manuscripts?"
"Hmm. But...... Liu Xin'er, save me!"
God, in fact, it has already been dark. The black hole in the tent, even through the moonlight, was not enough to see Xinya's expression at this time.
Xin Ya curled up in a ball and burrowed into my arms. I turned my head to see a figure dangling outside. Oh Mom, what is he afraid of...... This person must be Qin Xu.
But he didn't say a word, and he didn't probe in.
Stand upright, pull out a cigarette, light a fire, and spit out smoke rings...... Oh mom, I'm panicking!
