Chapter IV

Although the name sounds like a very formal dinner about cooperation, until now, a few people except Tong Yan have expressed their status very casually.

Especially Cheng Yuan, from the moment he sat at the table, he completely lost the calmness he had honed in the past few years, as if he had changed back to the big boy in college, and he was still gossiping with Ling Zesheng during the meal, including the lace news between a popular new screenwriter and the actor who starred in his play.

This time, Xia Qi, who was still a little nervous, couldn't sit still, and immediately followed Cheng Yuan and began to gossip about the gossip she heard from everywhere.

And in this process, Tong Yan kept her head down, burying her head in a bitter state - in fact, she was not hungry, but simply wanted to lower her sense of existence.

But regarding the qiē that happened around her at this time, she still maintained a super high sensitivity, especially the reaction of Ling Zesheng on the other side.

As rumored by the outside world, he seems to be completely uninterested in gossip in the circle. Now listening to the heated discussion between Cheng Yuan and Xia Qi, he only interjects a few words occasionally and does not say much, and what he says is also from a very objective point of view, never judging arbitrarily. And in a way, it's a bit boring.

Obviously, his reaction did not meet Cheng Yuan's expectations, so after a while, Cheng Yuan began to complain: "Zesheng, it's not an interview with reporters now, can you put away your official face?" It's boring! ”

"Boring?" Ling Zesheng chuckled when he heard this, reached out and took a sip of tea from the teacup, and said in a light tone: "It turns out that you also know that it is boring." This kind of thing is usually just a matter of people in the circle stirring up the heat and attracting attention, and you are still joining in the fun until now, and you are quite talented. ”

I had never heard Ling Zesheng, who had always been cold, count people in such a tone, and Xia Qi was surprised. Subconsciously turned his head to look at Tong Yan, bumped her arm with his elbow, and laughed awkwardly.

Tong Yan glanced back at her helplessly, and the look in his eyes obviously expressed three words: Ignore me.

Xia Qi touched the cold nail, a little depressed, and turned his head to give Cheng Yuan a look, asking him to find a topic that Tong Yan could participate in.

Cheng Yuan, who originally planned to continue arguing with Ling Zesheng, received the signal, stopped the words that had reached his mouth, coughed lightly, and opened his mouth in the next second, and the question went straight to Tong Yan.

"Tong Yan." He reached out and knocked on the table in front of Tong Yan, "I read your episode outline, isn't there enough explosion points in this plot?" ”

Hearing his name, Tong Yan was stunned and looked up at Cheng Yuan, "How do you want to change it?" ”

What he said just now was originally nonsense on the spot, and Cheng Yuan felt a little embarrassed by what he said, and now he has no confidence to listen to Tong Yan's rhetorical question.

"Why don't we add a pair of ** in it?" Cheng Yuan asked tentatively.

Tong Yan instantly put on an expression of "you are teasing me", pursed his lips and did not speak.

"Add a pair of lilies!" Xia Qi answered, pretending to have a surprised expression: "It's popular nowadays, and there is definitely a hot point!" ”

Tong Yan squinted at her and nodded: "Yes, there is definitely a breaking point, but it can't be reviewed, and Radio and Television Baba won't let me write it." ”

"What about the crossing?" Cheng Yuan asked.

"Don't let me write" Tong Yan sneered and lowered his head again, tilted his head and poked half of the potato on the plate with chopsticks.

"Sexual turn?"

"Don't let me write."

"Forbidden?"

"Don't let me write."

After mentioning yì many times to no avail, Cheng Yuan was a little annoyed: "Then you say, what can be written?" ”

Tong Yan didn't raise his head: "Basically, except for anti-Japanese dramas and idol dramas and anti-Japanese idol dramas, which are very safe, it's best not to write anything else." She paused, "After the founding of the country, I will not let Chengjing be; Puppy love is not allowed to succeed; Marriage, extraterrestrial affairs and one-night love cannot appear; There can be no details in the criminal investigation and solving the case; Gay hehe. I think the next step should be the same as the online article, not allowed to write from the neck down. ”

"it!" Xia Qi exclaimed, "Then what else is there to see!" ”

Tong Yan sighed.

"There are so many rules for online articles, and you are not allowed to write anything?"

"Not really. After all, online texts are much simpler and cruder than realistic scripts. Generally speaking, there are only three steps: if you like it, you can get on it, if you can't get it, if you can't get it, you will be drugged" Speaking of this, Tong Yan suddenly felt that it was wrong, wait, who asked that question just now?

Listening to the voice, it seems to be Ling Zesheng?

Ling Zesheng!!

Hurriedly looked up, and saw that the other three people present were all looking at her with a very admiring look.

Especially Cheng Yuan, staring at her while shaking his head and snorting: "Wuji, it turns out that this is what you really think." I have to say, you're in a bunker! But I like it! Then he covered his mouth, desperately trying to hold back the wild laughter that was about to blurt out.

At this moment, Tong Yan's heart was broken, and he really wanted to throw himself out on the spot.

Next, bow your head, bury your face, and pretend that you don't have zài.

Ling Zesheng lowered his eyes slightly, reached out to take the teacup, and then lowered his head to drink tea, quietly hiding a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

――

After having enough wine and food to make jokes, Cheng Yuan finally took out the contract prepared in advance and handed it to Tong Yan: "Take a closer look." ”

Tong Yan stretched out his hand to take it, looked at the header, turned directly to the last page, found the signature column, signed his name with a big stroke, and handed it back to him.

"Mowgli, aren't you afraid that I will cheat you?" Cheng Yuan took the contract and opened it, looked at it, and looked at Tong Yan.

Now the only thing on Tong Yan's mind is to leave quickly, and he doesn't bother to talk nonsense with him anymore, while bowing his head to pack his bag, he said, "You should pray that I won't cheat you." ”

Later, he talked a few more nonsense, and in the end, Xia Qi drove Tong Yan home, and Ling Zesheng answered a phone call when he went downstairs again, and then left with Cheng Yuan first.

――

In the car, Xia Qi held the steering wheel, turned his head to look at Tong Yan with a black face on the co-pilot, and was a little puzzled: "Wuji, what's wrong with you?" ”

Tong Yan shook his head slightly, but did not make a sound.

Xia Qi glanced at her again, and didn't notice that something was wrong with her, but the silence along the way made her feel very depressed, and she couldn't help but want to find something to say.

"Mowgli, you will go back and take a closer look at the contract later, the script of the first five episodes will come out in time for the first half of next month." She said.

Tong Yan nodded numbly with an expressionless face: "Hmm." ”

"The contract is signed today, and 10% of the advance payment will be paid here, and you will check it in the next two days."

"Hmm."

"Then I'm going to work with a group next week, I'm not in the city for two months at the moment, Cheng Yuan will also go to Guilin tomorrow, if there is anything in your script, call Ling Zesheng, and you communicate with him."

"Uh-huh?" When Tong Yan heard that name, he couldn't help but shudder, and turned his head to glare at Xia Qi, "What does this script have to do with him?" ”

Xia Qi was obviously taken aback by her surprise, turned his eyes and glared at her, and said with disdain: "Wuji, you really didn't read the contract?" This drama was originally Ling Zesheng's, Cheng Yuan is just one of the shareholders, the real legal person is still Ling Zesheng, you can figure out the priority! ”

After listening to this passage, Tong Yan's whole person was only stunned with a capital letter, and his face was stiff for a long time, and he only squeezed out two words that had been completely changed his voice: ""

After being stunned in place for 5 seconds, she opened her bag tremblingly and took out the contract, and carefully flipped through it three times, but did not find Ling Zesheng's name.

"Xia Qi, are you teasing me?" She stretched out the contract in front of Xia Qi and roared, "I didn't say that this scene was Ling Zesheng's!" ”

Xia Qi silently rolled her eyes, swept her hand away from her eyes with her hand, and said helplessly: "Please, Tong Yan is unscrupulous." Usually I think you think you're quite smart, why today," she sighed, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk about you." You look at the company under the header, Yunao Media, that is Ling Zesheng's company. After speaking, he glanced at her with disgust.

Tong Yan immediately petrified the place.

Why is this happening?

She was obviously so careful to avoid Ling Zesheng, how could things have developed so far that she was so light that she had departed from her original expectations?

And it's so coincidental that in these only two meetings, she has already shown all her bad side in front of him

Either way, that's not a good thing.

The chest suddenly felt very blocked, and there was a burst of unexplained sourness, and even his brain was uncontrollable, and he instantly recalled the details when he was dismissed - in the end, it was Ling Zesheng who went to settle the account; He walked ahead of everyone when he went downstairs; He opened the door for them; Then he answered the phone and told Cheng Yuan that something was wrong, and then asked Xia Qi to send her home

There were so many details that she could discover the problems behind this incident, but she was bent on escaping at the time, but she turned a blind eye to these fragments.

Therefore, the reason for the current ending is clearly her own doing.

Tong Yan fell in an instant, bit his lower lip unconsciously, was silent for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh

It was only at this time that Xia Qi finally noticed the abnormality of Tong Yu's love, turned his head to look at her with some worry, and asked suspiciously, "Wuji, what's wrong with you?" As soon as the words came out, she suddenly realized that she might have something to do with Ling Zesheng, and there was a little more suspicion in her eyes when she looked at her, "Are you hiding something from me?" ”

When she asked about this, her tone was a little more strict, and Tong Yan was stunned and turned her head to look at her.

"Regarding Ling Zesheng, are you hiding something from me?" Xia Qi asked again, and the Yan sù in his tone was better than Fang Cai.

Tong Yan slowly looked away, lowered his head and sank for a while, thinking about it carefully, it was not impossible to sue her, so he nodded, and for the first time pronounced the words that had been hidden in his heart for a long time:

"He was my first love. It's just that he and I were very young at the time, and now that so much time has passed, he doesn't remember me anymore. ”

Now it's Xia Qi's turn to be stunned, she grew her mouth and didn't close it for a long time.

Tong Yan turned his head to look at her, reminded her to look at the car, and then lowered his head and smiled a little embarrassedly.
