CHAPTER XXXIII
The middle of winter is coming as scheduled, and heavy snow is falling all over the city.
A few children were snowballing and building snowmen in the small flower bed downstairs of the apartment, and they were busy with joy, and the ecstatic laughter could be heard from the cold wind that swept up from the height of the twentieth floor.
Pei Ji sat in the computer chair and looked sideways at the snowy scene outside the floor-to-ceiling window, outside the window was goose feathers and heavy snow, but the room was warm inside, and the fatigue of the day melted away in a little bit.
The doorbell rang, Xiao Jing ran to open the door, only to see Zhou Heting and his little assistant walking in in thick cotton clothes with a chill. Pei Ji finally had a smile on his face, "How about it, the winter in City A is warm enough." ”
Zhou listened to the unforgettable face surrounded by thick clothes, more small and three-dimensional, amber eyes in the cold winter actually revealed a honey-like color, although the tone is light, but it is warm.
Out of nowhere, he conjured up a cut of Hanmei, and suddenly took it out and handed it to Pei Ji. Plum blossom is pretty and tender, but his voice is still as flat as usual to the point of almost coldness, "Find a bottle and plug it in." ”
Pei Ji was stunned, "You gave me flowers?"
Zhou Erting expressed his helplessness when he understood his narcissism, "Passing by the garden downstairs of your house, I saw a plum blossom that was crushed by the snow, so I picked it off. ”
Xiao Jing explained while taking the scarf and the Hanmei that were still wrapped in ice ballast, "Mr. Zhou, it was probably broken by the group of bear children downstairs with snowballs during a snowball fight. ”
Zhou He glanced at him, shook his head and said, "Violent Heavenly Things." ”
Pei Ji didn't know what it was like in his heart, but it was much better than the state of being more and more lonely when he was enjoying the snow scene alone, and he looked sideways at the little assistant who was following Zhou and listened to the surprise and said, "You mentioned so many ingredients?"
Lu Pin's little face, which was red by the cold wind blade, gradually returned to its normal tone in the room, and he grinned honestly when he heard the words, "And I heard that I want to eat hot pot, so I bought more shabu-shabu." ”
The first time Pei Ji heard the little assistant call Zhou He like this, he couldn't help but feel that calling his name like this was really good, and looked up at Zhou He with a frozen face, "Listen." ”
Zhou He glanced at Pei Yingdi and didn't bother to pay attention to him, "Get up and choose vegetables, what nonsense." ”
"What are you doing, are you shy?" Pei Yingdi chased after him and laughed.
Zhou He didn't even reply this time, and directly rudely stuffed him with a bag of vegetables, and didn't say a word and just lowered his head to choose vegetables.
After a long time, he spoke again, "I probably know what's going on with the fruit knife." ”
Pei Ji was originally immersed in the little love of "This kid is shy, hey Lao Tzu is really domineering", and he couldn't react when he heard the words, "What fruit knife?"
Zhou He glanced at him and then said: "My direction is not wrong, it was found in the script." ”
“…… Wait a minute!" Boss Pei said as his subordinate Rufei finished selecting the last few dishes, dragged Zhou Yiting to the bathroom to wash the mud on his hands, and then dragged people to pick up the script and sit at the small reading table in the corner of the living room.
Zhou Heting was speechless by his impatience, so he had to obediently spread out the two scripts and explain: "Do you remember the example I gave you at the beginning, the actor with poor line skills?" ”
Pei Ji nodded, "I remember, what's wrong?"
"The quarrel I heard in that alley before, the woman called the man Wei Kai, and it was him. The actor who has had a lot of lines reduced before is called Wei Kai. ”
Pei Ji was puzzled, "Does that have anything to do with the fruit knife?"
"Don't you remember what you said, do you remember the day we were chatting on the set, and you told me that the change to the script I analyzed the night before was completely correct. At first, a resident screenwriter brought up this matter, and then you started to deal with his related scenes, and the lines of the small supporting role of the director were drastically reduced. ”
"I ...... I said that. But as I said, he was very cooperative at the time, and there was no negative feeling at all, so he agreed very smoothly. ”
Zhou Heting looked at his convinced face and shook his head, "This man is very thoughtful, and he won't directly express his disgust at cutting his role or make a fuss in front of you, people like him even slap women with their hands, which shows that it is not a good thing." ”
Pei Ji agreed with his judgment, "However, I still don't know what to do with the fruit knife...... I'm cāo. He suddenly thought of something and blurted out a swear word, "That screenwriter is...... It's a girl. ”
Zhou Yiting nodded, "I went to check with Senna, and she has always been wearing a camel-colored windbreaker similar to the character played by Fujihan that day." ”
Pei Ji gritted his teeth, "Garbage." ”
Zhou Er listened to the fact that he was not as extreme as him, patted the actor on the shoulder and said, "Fortunately, only twenty-five episodes have been filmed so far, and his roles have been deleted after that, I will not be able to eat if I leave this kind of person in the crew." ”
Pei Ji looked at Zhou and listened, and nodded at the end.
The atmosphere on the two assistants' side was far less heavy than theirs, shouting for dinner, and a huge hot pot had been set up in the middle of the table.
The hot mist seemed to dispel the cold of the entire space, making people feel that their eyes were moistened.
Pei Ji told the two assistants the content of the conversation between the two of them, and Xiao Jing suddenly became angry, "I'm done, just that Wei Kai?" I tell you, I have long seen that the top of the goods is not smooth, just when we first started the film, every day around the screenwriter team that is close, Chunshan Yu is a big screenwriter, he knows that he can't afford to provoke him, so he goes to grind those little screenwriters, and wants to add drama when he sees the sky, and he doesn't see if his skills are ......."
Zhou listened to the peace of mind eating the mutton that Lu Pin carefully cooked for him, and asked, "What is his origin?"
"What's the background, he is just an ordinary little actor, but he has acted in many TV series, but he is not an important role. He usually plays a small supporting role such as a subordinate, an attendant, and cannon fodder, just to make some money to make ends meet. ”
Pei Ji didn't know what he thought, and suddenly smiled: "Those who are in this circle, if they have the strength, they may not necessarily go far, if they don't have the strength, they have to go backstage, and those like him who have no strength and no backstage can only play a trick." ”
Zhou Listen turned his head to look at him, swallowed the mutton in his mouth and said, "You keep talking about circles, circles, circles?"
Pei Ji gave him a chopstick of green vegetables, and smiled lightly: "It's just a circle to make money." Come and have some food, you can't eat too much lamb. ”
Wei Kai was soon fired by the crew, but Fujihan himself did not intend to hold him responsible, so the matter was over.
After hearing this, Xiao Jing only felt angry, "That's it, it's over? He made other people's hands look like that, and the result was just to lose some money?"
Pei Ji saw it very openly, "She originally had something to hide from the public, and if this matter is big, her attention will become higher, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes, so low-key handling is the solution she will choose." ”
Zhou listened and suddenly asked, "Doesn't it have anything to do with your studio? After all, this is also a scandal." ”
Pei Ji was stunned, he didn't expect Zhou Heting to think of this level, but he did put pressure on Teng Han to keep her silent about the matter as the other party said, and gave her a little sweetness and it was over. In fact, he has often been exposed to these gray area things, but he has never thought to talk about them and listen to them. In his heart, he has always thought that Zhou Erting is not the same as other people in this circle, or even himself. Zhou Erting is a person who can settle down, he is a little out of touch with the current impetuous and noisy society, a little out of place, but the most precious.
Every time Pei Ji sees him, chatting with him or even just a meaningless quarrel, he will feel that his heart is very calm and his breath is very clear. Zhou Erting is handsome, but he himself has washed away the lead, he doesn't talk much, but he can see the focus and affection enough.
So Pei Ji subconsciously didn't want him to see the side where he would be like others and pursue flashiness.
And yet he had already asked so bluntly.
Pei Ji was silent for a moment, and had to answer honestly: "Of course." ”
Which one reached out and stroked his back with a sense of comfort, although the action was stiff and rusty, but the intention was very sincere.
"Why bother with yourself. He said, "It's okay to think about it when you don't do it, but since you've done it, don't think about it anymore, it's enough to think that you're right." ”
Pei Ji raised his eyes to look at him, but only saw an indifferent face.
"Who hasn't lived so much can't help themselves. Zhou listened to the comfort, and his tone was rare with helplessness.
Pei Ji smiled suddenly, "It seems that I'm going to post Wei Kai's salary to you, and it's quite a set of comforting people." ”
Zhou Heting shrugged, "Haven't you ever eaten pork and never seen a pig run?" ”
Lu Pin raised his voice to greet them at the right time, "Hey, the pork belly is on the table, come on, Xiaojing is starting to sandwich the meat!"
The atmosphere was really ruined.
Pei Ji couldn't hold back his laughter, and patted Zhou Er, who was obviously slandering his assistant in his heart, "Let's go, eat pork." ”
In the past two months, I have gained three pounds of meat, all of which have risen on my stomach. Zhou He complained dissatisfiedly, "The abdominal muscles are going to disappear." ”
"Wow, then you're a five-flowered too. ”
