The conversation between the two upstairs is actually quite worthless in the first half.
Basically, if the content is summed up, Xia Chengzai asked Catherine to provide him with the opportunity to deepen contact with Rong Su, not to catch Bai Fumei, at least before returning to China, he should first brush up on the friendliness of Cheng DΓΉ, a friend who can contact each other.
Like now, although they live under the same roof, when they want to go out, they have Ye Shuang - they can translate, and they have Ye Shuang when they usually have leisure - they are familiar with all kinds of entertainment and all kinds of sports, and even if they watch TV together, they can say more relevant numbers and knowledge.
Needless to say, Brother Shuang's cooking skills can be crushed even by Catherine, a senior housewife, not to mention work, today's table is a tragic omen for the next few days.
Xia Chengcun's sense of zΓ i was erased to 0, and his status in Rong Su's mind was basically a label like "Catherine's friend...... When you meet, nod and say hello, it's over, and there is no need to stop and talk.
Xia Cheng even summed it up, in a whole day, Rong Su said the most sentence was "Brother Ye, what should I do with this XXX?", and the second most frequent sentence in the order of the next is-"Brother Ye, are we going to XXX, together?"
β¦β¦ I couldn't have been more congested!!
And after listening to Xia Cheng's complaints, Catherine, after thinking about it carefully, also gave a sad and objective answer that was not optimistic - not to mention Rong Su, even she felt that it was difficult to ignore Ye Shuang, a luminous body.
The main thing is that a person who can help no matter what, and his own appearance is so good that he is so good that he has a sense of zΓ i, almost whenever something happens, you don't have to think about it, and you can think of this person for the first time in your subconscious.
Want a chance to deepen contact with the girl? Hehe, this kind of advertisement is impossible to shoot in a closed way, not to mention that Director James is still quite interested in Ye Shuang himself, so it is even more impossible to isolate the other party.
And if you don't clean the leaf frost first. As long as "he" is on the scene, who will notice an "inconspicuous" Xia Cheng?
β¦β¦ Basically, this is the part of the conversation that Ye Shuang finds boring. And what really deserves Ye Shuang's attention is Catherine's frank statement that there is no way to isolate Ye Shuang to achieve Xia Cheng's wish, and Xia Cheng is annoyed and angry.
"Don't forget your son's drug record, Catherine. β
β¦β¦
Don't forget your son's drug record.
What does that mean?
Literally, of course, it is easy to understand, but if you dig deeper, Ye Shuang feels that things are not so simple.
How to say that...... In fact, it is not surprising that French teenagers have the highest drug use rate in all of Europe.
There are those who pursue fashion, and there are those who follow the mainstream to follow suit. Some of them use the stimulant effect of drugs to stimulate their study efficiency because they need to cope with stressful exams.
Whatever the reason, the end result is that drug use has become a common and not alarming norm among French teenagers.
Of course, if there is no overdose, these teenagers will gradually withdraw from the ranks of users as adults.
So to use an inappropriate sentence to describe Ye Shuang's mood, she felt that Catherine really didn't need to make a fuss about such a "little" thing...... At least Ye Shuang felt that this kind of thing should not be qualified to be a handle.
β¦β¦ Anyway, it's not a public figure.
"Unless, there are other, stricter influences behind this matter. β
Ye Shuang muttered thoughtfully.
Vincent did not understand Chinese, and when he heard this, he turned his head sideways and made a confused nasal voice: "Did you just say something?" Leaves?"
"Nope. The conversation on the second floor had ended, and Catherine had also walked out of Xia Cheng's room and was coming down the stairs. So Ye Shuang retracted her attention and put it on the TV in front of her, and said her evaluation of the film that had been opened for about twenty minutes: "I think that person named Howard is really a pervert." β
βοΌοΌοΌβ
Vincent's eyes widened slightly, as if surprised by the unfriendly comment.
Catherine walked out of the living room just then. I just happened to hear this sentence as well, so I put away my deep expression and put on a mature and capable smile again, and sat down next to the two of them and answered casually: "This evaluation is very novel." I've heard people compliment Howard on his genius, his whimsical ideas, and his imagination...... But I've never heard anyone say he's a pervert. In fact, there is very little news that even comes out of Howard, who is a low-key screenwriter. Except for the publication of works, he basically never accepts interviews from any print media. β
"Have you ever heard of psychopathic test questions?" Ye Shuang took a sip of brandy, put her wine glass on the coffee table and smiled, "Of course." I know that the independent filmmaker community usually likes to shoot unpopular subjects, but I have envisioned literary and social, social satires, and gloomy ...... But I really didn't think it would be a psychopathic protagonist until I actually saw it. β
To be more precise, James's masterpiece should actually be summarized as a suspense detective drama. However, as the case was investigated clearly, it also brought out a lot of deep thinking...... Something with connotation must be thought about, and the kind that you forget after being cool is called a commercial film.
Not to mention the reflection or insinuation of human nature, what Ye Shuang pays more attention to and cares about is the modus operandi of the criminals in the whole film.
"Let's put it this way, due to the limitation of knowledge, ordinary people can only make up for it with pen power when they write detective scripts. Part of the reason is that they can't imagine a truly serious crime, and part of it is because of the influence of the media...... So the authors will design the suspense, and then slowly release the hints, and finally reveal the mystery. Ye Shuang explained: "The above is the normal pattern of a detective film or novel. β
"Does this have anything to do with your evaluation of Howard?" Vincent still didn't quite understand.
"I'm sorry I overestimated your IQ. Ye Shuang muttered in Chinese, and after thinking about it, he changed to another statement: "It's like this, ordinary detective films you will feel enjoyable and exciting when you watch them, but in fact, it does not have a complete criminal logic." In other words, even a true crime-solving expert will have a hard time guessing the culprit before the film is shown to the end...... Because the focus of 'solving the case' is on the obvious hints that the protagonist finds in the process of solving the case, such as a suspicious key person. Another example is a strange little thing. And before you see that part of the plot, naturally there is no way to find the truth from a bunch of unconnected clues. β
"But Howard's film is different. Ye Shuang tried to explain: "His script is a real crime, a complete and real restoration...... For example, only 1/4 of the film has been shown now, but I can already deduce that the culprit is Sam. β
"It can't be!" Vincent exclaimed, widening his eyes, accusing, "You must have seen this film! No, you must have looked for a movie review on the Internet." β
"......" Ye Shuang silently disdained: "Of course, reasoning alone is useless, if it is in reality, now I still need to find evidence to prove my judgment, so that I can truly convict the prisoner." But if you look at it from the logic of reasoning alone, there is no need to watch this film...... It's like the psychopathic test I just said. There are only two possible people who can write about real and rigorous crimes, one is the one who solves the crime, and the other is the perpetrator. Let's talk about James' evaluation of Howard...... Hehe. β
Ye Shuang felt a little depressed and took a sip of wine, and she didn't want to continue talking.
James' assessment is, of course, the sentence "that person is good at laying out the whole picture". It's okay if it's another type of theme, but it's just to solve the case...... Hehe, is it really possible for a genius who is so good at arranging the overall situation of "crime" to achieve social harmony and stability?
Catherine listened a little drowsily, and as a sensual designer, she really had little interest in this kind of topic: "Well, it seems that Howard is a genius indeed. This is a statement that misses the point at all: "Even such a professional crime design can be so realistic...... Well. Do you mean that?"
Vincent also didn't grasp the point, and after being silently shocked for half a minute, he patted Ye Shuang's shoulder seriously: "All in all, don't let James know about the evaluation you said today...... That's right. Those analyses other than 'perverted' are fine, and James must be glad to have your professional affirmation. β
Ye Shuang again: "Hehe......"
These people don't understand the severity of things at all!!
β¦β¦
In the next few days, Xia Cheng did not follow Rong Su to the photography group every day to save his senses.
In what he has clearly demonstrated his incompetence...... The main thing is to contrast Brother Shuang's stunning table...... After that, one can't help at all and doesn't have a transcendent status. It's just that the person who appeared in front of everyone through the friend relationship of the chief designer Catherine, just open a back door and let him go once or twice to see the excitement, how can it be possible to check in and report every day?
Even Catherine has her own work to do. It is impossible to follow up with advertising endorsements all day long, let alone Xia Cheng, who was attached to her name.
It is precisely because of this that after Ye Shuang ran with him for two days at the beginning, he didn't have to continue to guard Rong Su and wander around, but could spare his energy to do something else.
In view of the fact that Xia Cheng decisively switched the actions of the Catherine line after the road was blocked on Rong Su's side, Ye Shuang's energy after that naturally focused on the handle of Catherine's mother and son who were caught by Xia Cheng.
"Catherine's son seems to be applying for graduate school, and there is a well-known supervisor who is very interested in him, but the man is very demanding. β
Su Zheng licked the lollipop and broke the news: "I heard that it is a bit old-fashioned gentlemanly style, and he is very picky about his students' character and family evaluation...... For example, if the parents have a criminal record, have a bad record in their personal file, usually skip class or spend time on multiple boats...... People are taking students, and the tutor is simply picking a son-in-law. β
"Ask for pickiness?" Ye Shuang thought thoughtfully: "Then it can be understood." Maybe the tutor's reputation is really good, so his student quota is particularly precious?"
If this is the case, it is understandable that Catherine wants to cover her son's drug record. Others may be able to understand the young maniac, as long as the student is really talented enough. But if you talk about some people with specific quirks, let alone taking drugs, you just swallow a few more sleeping pills, and people will dislike you if you have mental breakdown symptoms.
"Of course, this is not a big problem, it is just a small trick, and it is not an Achilles' heel. Su Zheng nodded, took out the lollipop from his mouth and said with a smile: "The focus is still on Catherine's plagiarism of ideas and hiring gunmen. β
Ye Shuang was right when she thought about it: "Then forget about children's problems, it really doesn't matter if teenagers are troubled." β
Ah K said that Xia Cheng has not been in touch with other people much recently. It may be that the organization is not so optimistic about him anymore. Su Zheng gloated: "The focus of his original strategy should be on Tianwang Entertainment Media, but he didn't expect that after a few years of smooth operation, he suddenly capsized in the gutter." In the past few years, not to mention the business has been all lost, and even the money originally invested in it has not been recovered...... If I encounter such a bad subordinate, I am also drunk, and it is very polite to let him fend for himself. β
"The line of Tianwang Entertainment Media is broken, and Rong Su's side can't get through, so in the end, Xia Cheng can only hold Catherine's side now?" Ye Shuang also thought about it and sighed: "Xia Cheng is really unlucky." Although Catherine also has status and status, after all, she only has status in L.P.A. No matter how dead he is, it is impossible for Xia Cheng to participate in the operation, let alone control the company. β
"It's a life-saving straw, catch it first, and then talk about it, and if it continues, it's a matter of the future. β
THE TWO OF THEM WERE CHATTING DOWNSTAIRS, CATHERINE HURRIEDLY CAME IN FROM OUTSIDE THE DOOR, AND COULDN'T HELP BUT BE STUNNED WHEN SHE SAW THAT YE SHUANG AND SU ZHENG WERE IN THE LIVING ROOM, AND THEN SMILED: "DIDN'T YOU GO OUT?" I think the weather is pretty good today, it's very suitable for shopping." β
Without expecting any answer, Catherine hurried up the stairs without stopping. It seems that he was in a hurry to get something before rushing back temporarily.
Ye Shuang looked at the back of the wind and fire that disappeared into the door of the second floor: "What do you think about pulling Catherine out of this muddy water?"
"Then Xia Cheng will be completely finished, if he doesn't have more hole cards. Su Zheng raised a lollipop to make a mourning gesture: "Point wax!"
ββ¦β¦ Stop it. Ye Shuang was speechless, this girl is probably going crazy on vacation, what is the feeling that she has been getting more and more happy recently? Could it be that there is too little work in her team. That's why Su Zheng has so much time to do nothing?
Sighing silently, Ye Shuang said patiently: "If Xia Cheng really has no other hole cards and has not been paid attention to, then there is no need to observe this line, so he simply pressed it to death...... There's still a line hanging over there anyway. If you want to get the list of other people, you don't have to drag it around. β
"I'm an assistant, I listen to you. Su Zheng happily stuffed the lollipop back into his mouth, held up his cheeks and smiled: "Brother Shuang, what do you say about him?"
"Oh, yes. I won't come back for dinner at noon today, do you have any arrangements for yourself?" Catherine, who had already got her things upstairs, came down again, and had an extra brown paper pocket in her hand: "After leaving this villa area, there is a pizzeria across the street, of course, if you want to make your own lunch, you can also do it, I put the car keys on the shoe cabinet, you can drive to the supermarket by yourself." β
"Cathy, go about your business. Ye Shuang smiled gently, comforting a certain woman who seemed to be already busy: "We will take care of ourselves, don't worry...... Also, good luck with work, dinner will be prepared today. β
"Ye, you are so considerate!" Catherine was so moved that she hugged her, and by the way, she printed a kiss on each cheek of Ye Shuang, one left and one right, and sighed: "If I were thirty years younger...... No, as long as you are twenty years younger, I will definitely pursue you madly. β
"That's a shame, and I'm sorry to miss out on a beauty like Cathy. "After living in France for so many days, Ye Shuang's flirting skills have also been quite high. Anyway, it's just a dry addiction, and there will be no shortage of meat.
Catherine came and went.
After the other party's back disappeared outside the door, Su Zheng looked at Ye Shuang deeply for a while with strange eyes.
"What's the problem?" Ye Shuang looked back and raised her eyebrows.
"......" Su Zheng shook his head, thinking about it, he still grabbed his hair and couldn't help but advise: "Brother Shuang...... I can understand the environment and customs here, but don't bring this kind of talking habit back to China. β
If you express your intimacy in a foreign country, at most, when you don't see it, but if you want to get the same intimate tone to China, you will have to get a bunch of peach blossom debts. Especially Ye Shuang's face is so exciting...... Su Zheng is deeply worried about his ability to protect the chastity of his "big brother".
Ye Shuang couldn't help it, and his knuckles bent up and knocked on Su Zheng's forehead: "What do you think!"
Su Zheng let out a low cry of pain, covered his head with two paws, and quickly raised his head with tears in his eyes: "Don't knock on your head casually, people will misunderstand that you are interesting to others." For example, beating is kissing, scolding, love and the like......"
Ye Shuang: "......"
At the end of the day, Ye Shuang and Su Zheng chatted together and went shopping by the way, although there were serious discussions in the middle, but in general, they were very leisurely.
Everyone else is busy.
Catherine's husband has a recital and has been touring with the orchestra the other day. My son also has activities at school, either in class or club activities, and his small life is extremely fulfilling.
Xia Cheng is brushing the branch line of Catherine's family, and it is impossible for him to follow Catherine to the company as an outsider, but he can take the route of his son, and if he has nothing to do, he will pretend to be a character like a brother to hook up with his son.
Needless to say, Catherine's new endorsement commercials are ready to be released, and of course she has to follow up with the recent new product release last season. And Rong Su ......
"Give me a glass of water......"
After dragging the remnants of the body that had been tossed for a day back to the villa, Rong Su was miserable like a broken flower that had been ravaged.
"Xiao Su, what's wrong?" Ye Shuang brought a glass of water and put it in Rong Su's hand who was lying on the sofa, sat on the sofa on the other side, and asked Qiu Yu curiously.
Qiu Yu pursed his lips and smiled, raised his fingers and brushed his hair: "Director James is in a very bad mood, so Miss Rong's recent work has been difficult. β
Ye Shuang frowned: "I remember that Xiao Su has already filmed his feelings, shouldn't he be singled out for criticism again?"
Although it is true to say that Brother Shuang helped to open the hang at the beginning, it does not mean that Rong Su is a stupid person who does not know how to change. It's okay once or twice, but after a few more times, how to solve similar problems in the next place doesn't need anyone to continue to follow up on the prompts, and it is easy to meet the director's requirements by adjusting a few more times.
"Of course, it's not about the shooting, I think it's about the psychology. Qiu Yu smiled helplessly: "Brother Ye, you haven't given Director James an affirmative answer, have you? Later, you suddenly stopped coming, and Director James probably didn't feel very comfortable because of this." β
I see, to put it bluntly, it's just anger.
Ye Shuang was speechless.
Rong Su drank half a glass of water in one breath before he felt that he was alive again, and he struggled to stand up from the sofa and looked at Ye Shuang miserably: "Brother Ye, I'm so pitiful, the bearded uncle is obviously angry with me, especially today, I feel that he looks at me with an expression like I robbed his boyfriend." β
ββ¦β¦ Don't talk nonsense!" Ye Shuang didn't know what expression to give.
Qiu Yu thought for a while: "Otherwise, Brother Ye will show his face with us tomorrow, right? I don't need you to stay long, just let the director see you go...... Or are you going to pick us up?"
Ye Shuang looked at Qiu Yu depressedly: "It's Xiao Su who is making the endorsement and not me, do you think it's really appropriate for me to steal the show?" Besides, this matter is obviously not just a matter of going once or twice, it has to be figured out and willing.
How can you be willing? For example, agreeing to the other party's request...... Thinking of this, Ye Shuang also began to regret whether she was too low-key when she went on the first day: "Anyway, there are only a few days left, Xiao Su is obedient, and it will be over." β
"The problem is that I can't bear it at all!" Rong Su gritted his teeth and didn't know what to recall, it felt as if he already had a deep hatred with James.
"Brother Ye doesn't have to go every day. Qiu Yu gently persuaded again, it seems that she was also tossed a lot...... So as a translator, Qiu Yu is equivalent to being piggybacked and scolded with Rong Su...... "Director James' old friend is coming tomorrow, it seems to be the Howard last time." Qiu Yu tried his best to persuade: "Brother Ye will go with us once tomorrow, the three of you can chat, as long as Director James is happy, then the remaining qiΔ questions will be easy to say." β
"Howard?" Ye Shuang, who originally wanted to refuse, was stunned for a moment, and suddenly raised his head: "You mean the screenwriter partner directed by James?" (to be continued......)
