Chapter 48
In the first month of retreat, the world has changed dramatically.
Pang Zhen drove her newly purchased red double-door A5 and blocked her outside the residential area of Su Wei's apartment.
That night, Su Wei was not only knocked on the buffet of the revolving restaurant on the top floor of the five-star hotel, but also interrogated by Pang Zhen for the whole night.
"You're too boring! I've been the original agent for so long, and I don't make a single statement, knowing that I'm his fan! Pang Zhen finally lost his anger after eating three plates of stabbing and two rounds of desserts, "No wonder the crew of "Perfection" couldn't contact him last time, it turned out that he was not in China at all!" ”
Pang Zhen is still regretting that role, but now that he thinks about it, Yuan Xu's new agent is sitting in front of him, and he is still his friend, and it feels extremely wonderful.
"The third male lead in the Republic of China drama can be regarded as half of the protagonist, are you interested?" This book is her own creation, the director and producer trust her very much, and she has a certain right to speak.
"What kind of character is it?"
"A gentle, modest and handsome man, quiet, but always able to secretly break tricks, very wise, emotional, and specialized."
Pang Zhen can give the original role, naturally it will not be bad. And those who are engaged in text creation love to substitute reality for the role, and when she wrote this role, the epitome she referred to in her heart was the original poem.
After that, Pang Zhen briefly explained to her the theme and outline of this book.
The Republic of China tomb robbery adventure drama is a relatively rare category in China at present, compared with the national hatred and family hatred or big family grievances in other Republic of China dramas, she just wants to write a story with adventure spirit and humor and suspense this time.
As for setting the era as the Republic of China, it is one of her unique hobbies.
She loves the glitz and glamour of the ten-mile ocean field like a dream, but she can't bear the war-torn life and death, so she will find a new way in this context.
She knows that this type is a bit unpopular and has certain risks, so whether she wants to take on the role or not, she is not reluctant, and it is up to Su Wei to decide.
"The character is very similar to his previous style." Su Wei pondered slightly.
"It's similar to recommend it to you!" Pang Zhen's idea is very simple, she just wants the audience to know that even after so many years, Yuan Xu is still a male god, and his smile is still the final salvation at the end of the century.
"You've finished writing the book?"
"Not yet! Halfway through writing, I feel like I'm about to break out! ”
"Can you show me the character and a simple outline?" If Yuan Xu really wants to start again, the script of picking up acquaintances is the best, especially Pang Zhen is still his fan, as long as he puts a little more effort into writing, the characters he creates will definitely steal the show.
"No problem, I'll send it to your mailbox later." Pang Zhenying was refreshing, of course, he also had his own selfishness, "Then, anyway, I want to take a break in the past two days, why don't you ask Yuan Xu to come out and I'll see you first?" ”
After Su Wei finished talking about the work that he could see and contact, he found that the man was still pruning a pot of plants on the balcony.
It was an evergreen plant half a man tall, not a precious variety, but it had lush foliage, and he had only recently moved it home. Tending to plants is another habit of life in addition to carving.
In her opinion, these can't be called hobbies. Hobbies, love will give birth to good, and the process should be pleasant. But from the bottom of his eyes, she could only see indifference.
To him, this seemed to be just a way to pass the time. It doesn't matter what you like, and you don't need it. Being able to do it alone without leaving the house without having to speak just met his needs.
Su Wei closed the notebook and came behind him to remind, "It's almost time, get ready for us to go out." ”
Although she is now his agent, she will not force him to take the notice. She thought it was good to meet Pang Zhen, and she knew that he would not agree, so she directly proposed to exchange conditions with him before.
"I also know that you think I'm a little annoyed to come over every day, otherwise, you promise me one thing, I promise not to bother you in the next ten days of this month."
Although he regarded her as transparent whether she came or not, it was impossible for multiple people in the room to really treat each other as if they were not there. Yuan Xu quietly fiddled with the carving in his hand, stopped his movements and asked her, "What do you want me to promise you?" ”
"I have a friend who is a screenwriter and she wants you to play a character in her new script and wants to meet you."
"I don't want to take a job anytime soon."
Sure enough, Su Wei shook his head and smiled, "If you don't want to accept him, you can refuse him personally, I won't ask." ”
"Since the result is all the same, what's the point of going out and meeting up?"
"You can't never stop working, and you have to compromise for life if you don't want to. Instead of being forced to take on a role that you don't even like yourself, it's better to see if there is a role you can still accept in advance. Su Wei paused and continued, "Don't you want to go to France again this year?" ”
She flipped through his previous passport records. France, he goes almost every year to that season. Unless it is a year or two when the economy is really tight, sometimes he only stays for a week or two, sometimes he stays for a long time, depending on his financial situation.
So, he needs money.
The man sitting behind the long desk in the study slowly raised his head, his innocent eyes on the woman standing at the door.
Hu Dongsen couldn't understand what he couldn't understand after following him for so long, but it only took her a month to see it clearly and thoroughly.
Even if he doesn't pay much attention to other people's affairs now, it is difficult to ignore this woman's existence. She always speaks when people are defenseless, but she is not aggressive, and even if she wants to be angry, she can't find a reason.
Yuan Xu lowered his head again, "After arranging, tell me the time and place." ”
Su Wei laughed again. In fact, there is no need to arrange it at all, Pang Zhen stretched her neck and looked forward to it every moment, and she made a phone call to confirm the next day's dinner.
On a cool April night, the white shirt and beige trousers that Yuan Xu wore every day wore were covered with a long black sweater cardigan, and when he went out, Su Wei grabbed him, replaced the mask he had put on with a thin scarf, and took a pair of black-framed glasses without lenses for him to put on.
"It's not a smog city, it's eye-catching to wear a mask when you go to a restaurant, and you can pull a scarf when you enter the door."
She is not short, but she always wears flat shoes, and there is still some distance between her and him, who is nearly 1.8 meters tall, and she has to pad his feet to help him wear a scarf and glasses. He stood there straight, without the slightest intention of leaning down to accommodate her, and looked at her with his eyes slightly drooping, his eyes were usually cold.
She wasn't angry at all, reminding him as she straightened her scarf. The two were close, her breath brushed softly on his cheeks, and Yuan Xu frowned a little uncomfortably.
Su Wei didn't say anything when he noticed it, pursed his lips and smiled, slightly widened the distance and quickened the movement of his hand.
Pang Zhen booked a box at the best Japanese restaurant in the city, which was only obtained by relying on her screenwriter's connections, originally she wanted to get a big room in a star-rated hotel or a high-end club, but Su Wei said that it was too exaggerated, so she changed to a relatively low-key Japanese restaurant.
When the waiter opened the sliding door of the box, Pang Zhen's nervous heart was about to jump out.
I think she has always been a die-hard fan of the original Xu, and the first idol when she first fell in love was him, so it can be said that all her youth was spent in the days of snapping up the original poster and shopping for with her sisters.
However, when she became a screenwriter, he had long since faded out of the circle. Even though she has won awards for her works in recent years and has become a senior screenwriter, her income has risen, and she has become prosperous in the entertainment industry, it is still difficult to see the original side.
The first to come in was Su Wei, she wore a smoke-gray baseball jersey with a low-necked sweatshirt and jeans, which was always simple. Pang Zhen's gaze swept over her, locked firmly on the slender figure behind her.
The man was looking down and taking off his shoes, and from her vantage point, all she could see was his excessively white forehead and soft facial lines under his black-rimmed glasses. He walked in, and the sliding door closed behind him.
He stopped, took off his scarf and glasses, and handed them to Su Wei beside him. Under the soft yellow light of the box, his slightly emaciated and bearded face was far less handsome than it was in its heyday, but even the remaining five or six points were still amazing.
"She is Pang Zhen, my friend, and a screenwriter." Su Wei made a brief introduction.
He raised his gaze slightly and threw himself at Pang Zhen, who immediately felt that it was difficult to breathe, and her cheeks were very hot. In the end, he was a former male god! In order to calm her breathing, she had to turn her gaze to Su Wei. As soon as he saw his friend's calm and peaceful face, Pang Zhen's trembling heart eased a little.
Although she usually complains about Su Wei's calm and waveless face no matter what happens, she feels that it is too unfathomable and difficult to digest, but now she feels that facial paralysis also has the benefits of facial paralysis.
"Hello, excuse me." Pang Zhen was excited, stabilized his feelings, and his demeanor was slightly attached to the title of joint venture screenwriter.
The opposite seat of the four, Yuan Xu sat down diagonally opposite Pang Zhen, and she didn't mind, beckoning Su Wei to sit opposite her. The food is pre-ordered, and many of the items at this Japanese restaurant are available in limited quantities, and the sashimi is airlifted and fresh.
The atmosphere was a little cold in the first ten minutes, and after the opening remarks, Su Wei and Pang Zhen chatted without a word. Pang Zhen was nervous in the end, for fear of leaving a bad impression on the original promise, so he tried to restrain himself and consider the wording.
Yuan Xu has been eating quietly, and has no intention of joining the chat at all.
His bony fingers hold the silver long chopsticks, which are particularly beautiful. This man, who was once evaluated by the media as sexy and gentle even at his fingertips, even if he sat there silently, he was always touched by Pang Zhen's feelings.
It was like someone grinding something in her ear with a small saw, and it didn't make a loud noise, but it couldn't calm down anyway.
Pang Zhen couldn't hold back in the end, and suddenly said to him, "Actually, I'm your fan!" ”
The silver chopsticks were put down, and Yuan Xu looked up at her, and there was no love on his face, "Listen to Su Wei, you have a role you want me to play?" ”
"Yes!" Pang Zhen's eyes lit up, he took the initiative to mention this matter, it seems that there is a drama in the matter. Before coming, Su Wei told her that it was up to Yuan Xu to decide whether to take the role or not, and she was afraid that the other party would not be interested.
Pang Zhen was excited, so he put all those restraints and deliberations behind him, and began to slowly talk about this role. From the background of the characters to their personalities and experiences, and even the emotional scenes, they are all interpreted in detail.
In the meantime, Yuan Xu has been listening intently, and Su Wei will not interrupt.
In fact, this role is good, although it doesn't have much distinctiveness, but it is better than the front of the role, safe and likable, as long as it plays normally, there won't be much of a problem.
He even took on the role of rape & rape before, and now this role should be completely within his tolerance.
Su Wei thought so, and Pang Zhen thought so too, but what neither of them expected was that after listening to all this, Yuan Xu wrung his eyebrows, "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in this role." ”。
