Reba stayed in BJ for a day and a half before returning to SH, in addition to accompanying Li Xiuping to find a photographer, she also met Chen Jianchen under the introduction of Li Xiuping, signed a contract with Angel Entertainment Company, and signed a contract with Li Xiuping's New Dream Film and Television Company, she can be regarded as a real member of the entertainment industry, and officially became the heroine of Li Xiuping's new movie.

After Reba left, Li Xiuping went to the film festival as usual, he was not lucky, although he met a few photographers, but people did not like him. Li Xiuping was very helpless, he went to the theater early every day, and returned disappointed at night, he seemed to have become the most enthusiastic audience at the film festival, and the theater ticket clerk recognized him, but he still got nothing, maybe this is fate.

On this day, the sun set, the birds returned to their nests, Li Xiuping walked out of the theater with red eyes and yawning, at this time there was a group of young people in blue overalls laughing and walking towards the theater from outside, in the crowd, Li Xiuping walked out alone like a boat against the current, he looked at the energetic and happy faces, and suddenly felt very boring, the meal is only interesting to eat with friends, and watching movies is actually the same.

When the young people in blue overalls entered the theater together, Li Xiuping stood alone on the street, he looked at the sunset in the sky gradually dissipating, the street lamps that quickly lit up on the side of the road, and the high beams flashing in the distance, and an unprecedented loneliness surged in his heart.

"Where is my return?"

Li Xiuping thought of Reba and Da Mi Mi, he took out his mobile phone and flipped through the contacts, but found that there was no one to contact, he had no friends who could be on call without making an appointment, no friends who could share his thoughts at any time, and no friends who even drank together.

"Hi Lee, where is my woman?"

A voice sounded behind Li Xiuping, and Li Xiuping turned around to see that it was Michael Slater. Li Xiuping smiled, "Michael, do you want to drink?"

"No, I don't have any money, I've been eating bread these days, I don't have money to drink. ”

"I'm in for a treat. ”

"Let's have dinner first, I'm hungry. ”

"No problem. ”

Half an hour later, in an ordinary Sichuan restaurant, Li Xiuping put down his chopsticks, poured himself a glass of beer, and then drank it all.

Michael Lester sat opposite Li Xiuping, his face was flushed, he inhaled and exhaled like a tired old cow, he kept drinking water, he was spicy enough, this was the first time he ate Chaotian pepper.

Li Xiuping laughed, this restaurant said that it was a Sichuan restaurant, but it was not SC taste spicy at all, but HN taste spicy, Michael Lester, a foreigner, should be appetizing today, "Michael, can you hold on? Do you want to go to the hospital to see?"

Michael Lester shook his head, and after a moment he replied, "No, I can hold on." ”

"Have you eaten enough?"

"No problem. ”

Michael Leicester took a sip of a cold beer, "Cool! This is the best wine I've had since I came to China." ”

"This is the most ordinary beer, five yuan a bottle, do you think this kind of wine is delicious?" Li Xiuping picked up the bottle strangely and looked at it, when did the cowhide zero degree taste good?

"Lee, I haven't drunk for half a month, I have no money, except for the plane ticket, I only had three hundred dollars in my pocket when I came to BJ, which was only enough for my accommodation. ”

"Haha, poor ghost. ”

Michael Lester glanced at Li Xiuping and said in disappointment: "Yes, I ...... I failed this time, no one came to see my short film, no one wanted to sponsor me. ”

"Michael, you're talented, you stick with it, and someone will appreciate you. ”

"I don't know when. ”

"Is it the same in Canada and the United States?"

"There are some political groups that are willing to fund me, but I don't have editing rights, you know, they're a bunch of crooks, and I don't want to work with them. ”

Li Xiuping took a sip of wine, "Life is like this, either you compromise, or I compromise, anyway, someone wants to back down, and no one can change it." ”

Michael Lester looked at Li Xiuping, "What about you? Do you need to compromise too?"

"Of course, I'm a director by profession, but these days I go to film festivals every day to see films, and I don't really want to see them, but I have to go, and that's a compromise. ”

"You want to find a cinematographer to make a film, your new film?"

"Yes, my first film. ”

"What type?"

"Youth movies, about growing up. ”

"Can you elaborate on that?"

"Focusing on the growth of the heroine, she suffered a car accident when she was a child, her mother was seriously injured, and since then she has been weak and unable to work, the heroine has also been injured, she has psychological trauma, she is afraid of blood, and when she sees blood, she will remember the car accident, and then there are some bad symptoms. ”

"Very general beginning. ”

"The heroine is very strong and knows how to disguise, no one knows that she is afraid of blood, only she knows that in order to overcome the fear of blood, in order to take better care of her mother, she was admitted to a medical university, but she did not choose clinical medicine, but chose pharmaceutical preparations. ”

"She didn't completely overcome her psychological fear, she was still afraid of blood, so she chose a pharmaceutical preparation?" asked Michael Lester.

"Yes, she didn't have enough determination to face psychological problems, but fortunately in college, she met the male protagonist, and the male protagonist gave her courage, and then the male and female protagonists experienced something in college, and they grew up together. ”

"What are you trying to say?"

"Growth is to face difficulties and responsibilities calmly and go on strongly. This is what I think of growing up, the heroine's mother in the movie is not in good health, she decided to take care of her mother in the future since she was a child, so she was admitted to medical university, but in fact she was far from realizing her own psychological problems, and she didn't realize that taking care of her mother, what she would lose, she would face them one by one, and go on bravely. ”

"Why did you make this movie?"

"For the woman I love most in my life. ”

"Why don't you go to her?"

"I found it, but ......" Li Xiuping took a breath, lowered his head and said with a slight choked voice: "But she is gone, she and her family are gone, I have no way to find her, she may not be in this world." ”

Michael Lester patted Li Xiuping's arm apologetically, "I'm sorry for making you sad." You are right, you should give an account to the woman you loved. ”

"Yes, I think the same way, she may not see it, but I have to do something about it, otherwise I will be uncomfortable and I will be very uncomfortable. ”

"I agree, I was so sad when my ex-girlfriend left me that I was peeing on the side of the road one night and I thought of her, so I peed a woman to miss her. ”

Li Xiuping laughed, he raised his glass and touched a glass with Michael Lester, and then drank it all, "You are so chic." ”

Michael Lester smirked, "Hi Lee, I think you're a nice guy, how much do you give me if I work as a cinematographer for your new film?"

"100,000 dollars. ”

"Oh, you're very generous, I'm a little moved. ”

Li Xiuping put down his wine glass and said seriously: "I don't have time to wait, this movie has a plot of admission and graduation, it is best to start shooting before June, Michael, if you can help me, I will definitely give you the greatest respect and freedom." ”

"$100,000 is a lot in Hollywood, Lee, thank you, I do need money, but I have one more condition for me to join your team. ”

"You say. ”

"Reba, the woman I fell in love with at first sight, you have to help me pursue her. ”

"Are you serious?"

"Yes, I'm in love with her, and I'm dreaming of her these days. You promise to help me chase her, and I'll be the cinematographer for your new movie. ”

Li Xiuping looked at Michael Lester, thought about it, shook his head and smiled, "I can't promise you." ”

"Why?"

"If I were to introduce a boyfriend or girlfriend, it would be a male and female friend I knew very well and had known for a long time, so that I could be sure that they would not be harmed. ”

"Oh, no, Lee, we're all young people, it's love, it's a wonderful game. ”

"Michael, I'm a traditional person, and I take responsibility for everything I do. ”

Michael Lester scratched his hair speechlessly, "Lee, I'm very talented, I'm a good person, why do you think I'm going to hurt Reba?"

"The hurt doesn't have to be intentional, I don't think you're suitable for it anyway. ”

"Why?"

"You pee on a woman to miss your ex-girlfriend, you're too casual, Reba is a serious person. ”

"Fack, you just said I'm dashing?"

"That's right, it's chic, but it's not for serious girls. ”

"You're from two hundred years ago?"

"Probably. ”

Michael Lester shrugged, "Okay, Lee, let's make a deal official, and then I'll go after Reba myself." ”

"You've agreed to join my new movie?"

"Yes, but can you pay $10,000 first, I don't have any money. ”

"No problem. ”

"I'm going to read the script, the English version. ”

"There is no English version, I can read it to you sentence by sentence. ”

"I'm going to SH, I'm going to find Reba. ”

"Whatever, I'm busy, you have to go by yourself. ”

"What's the matter with you?"

"Prepare the crew. ”
