Qin Pei got up in the morning and found Er Dongsheng's eyes red in front of him, and asked in surprise: "Don't tell me, you stayed up all night here last night?" ”

The more than a dozen extra cigarette butts in the ashtray on the coffee table in the living room have already answered Qin Pei's question, Qin Pei hurriedly opened the window, otherwise the smell of smoke in the living room would not be able to disperse at all.

"After reading the script, I suddenly had an idea, and then I kept thinking about it, but I didn't expect it to dawn so soon." Er Dongsheng yawned and didn't sleep all night, only then did he feel a strong tiredness.

"Investors are not in a hurry, but you are in a hurry first." Qin Pei snorted. Er Dongsheng smiled and didn't speak.

The only thought in Er Dongsheng's mind now is to make this movie quickly, and he doesn't know whether he is doing this desperately for himself or for others to see.

He was about to tell Qin Pei what he thought, but Qin Pei made a stop gesture, urging Er Dongsheng to hurry up and catch up on sleep, and if he had anything to say, he would talk about it at noon.

Er Dongsheng was really sleepy, and he slept directly into the afternoon. Qin Pei originally wanted to stay with Er Dongsheng for dinner at his house, but Er Dongsheng said that he had something to do at night, and he left in a hurry without taking care of eating.

Qin Pei thought that Er Dongsheng would not come to him again in the past two days, but he didn't expect to suddenly receive a call from Er Dongsheng in the evening, and Er Dongsheng opened his mouth and said, "Big brother, can you do me a favor?" ”

"When did you kid be so polite to me?" Qin Pei scolded with a smile.

"Can you help me tell my second brother that Mr. Lin invested in this movie, and I want to invite him to play the leading role." Er Dongsheng said solemnly.

Qin Pei thought it was a big deal. I didn't expect it to be because of this.

For Er Dongsheng, he changed his career from an actor to a director. Qin Pei and Jiang Dawei have always been very supportive. This support is not just in words, but also in action. Take "The True Story of the Crazy Guy", which Qin Pei won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the Academy Awards this year, Qin Pei's first purpose in taking over this drama is definitely not to win the award, and his motivation for participating in the play is not fundamentally different from other Er Dongsheng who went to the street to catch him skipping school back to study, or scolding Er Dongsheng who failed the exam with a gloomy face - Er Dongsheng is his younger brother, even if others are not optimistic about him, he must be the elder brother to support him to the end.

With the brotherly feelings of the brothers, Qin Pei felt that Er Dongsheng could go directly to Jiang Dawei and say this matter, and it would be a little strange for him to tell him on his behalf. Er Dongsheng and Jiang Dawei were still drinking together last night. There shouldn't be any awkwardness in the relationship between the two, which made Qin Pei very puzzled.

"You just go to him yourself, why do you want me to say it?" Going into battle as a brother, Qin Pei felt that Jiang Dawei had no reason to refuse this matter.

Er Dongsheng was asked in a hurry, and finally confided that he was going to invite Zhai Long to play the villain in this film.

Qin Pei stopped talking for a while, Jiang Dawei and Zhai Long's grievances and hatreds cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences, in the past ten years that the two have parted ways, there is often news that the two are ready to get together, but they are all confirmed to be fake news in the end. Until Zhai Long won the Taiwan Golden Horse actor with "The True Color of Heroes". Jiang Dawei personally flew back from Canada to be the guest of honor for him, and the relationship between the two showed some signs of warmth.

But this is only the superficial opinion of the audience who do not know the truth. In fact, Jiang Dawei and Zhai Long are far from rebuilding the old friendship, but after such a long time, those past grievances have become lighter, but it does not mean that some things have been completely let go.

Although Zhai Long broke up with Jiang Dawei, he had a good relationship with Er Dongsheng, Er Dongsheng entered the showbiz and filmed his first drama to cooperate with Zhai Long, and Er Dongsheng's role was originally prepared for Jiang Dawei. After the smashing of "People's Hero", Zhai Long's popularity that he had managed to accumulate with "The True Color of Heroes" was also greatly hit, but he never said a word of complaint in front of Er Dongsheng from beginning to end.

Zhai Long didn't say it, it didn't mean that Er Dongsheng didn't know it in his heart, he felt that he was very sorry for Zhai Long, so he wanted to make amends in this movie, of course, another purpose was naturally to promote the reconciliation of Zhai Long and Jiang Dawei.

Er Dongsheng's idea is very good, but he gave Qin Pei a problem this time, after Zhai Long and Jiang Dawei broke up, Zhang Che, the great director who single-handedly made the two popular, could no longer persuade the two to co-star in a movie, although Qin Pei is Jiang Dawei's brother, but he is not sure that he can persuade Jiang Dawei to agree to star in this movie.

"Stinky boy, you're deliberately tricking me, right? You don't know your second brother's situation, if he is willing to listen to my words, he and Zhai Long have already reconciled ten years ago, so do you have to wait until now? ”

Er Dongsheng had no choice but to say: "I just had dinner with Brother Zhai Long just now, I have already done his job, but I patted my chest and promised him that I must persuade the second brother to play the leading role, you can't watch me lose my trust, right?" ”

Qin Pei was really powerless in this matter, but this did not prevent him from giving Er Dongsheng an idea: "It's useless for you to beg me for this matter, but you can go to someone, if he speaks, your second brother may listen." ”

Er Dongsheng thought that Qin Pei was talking about Zhang Che, "Director Zhang has been filming in the mainland for the past two years, and he will not be able to contact him for a while, and the second brother and Zhai Long are not under him for a long time, so he may not be willing to take care of this matter." ”

"I'm talking about Mr. Lin, he is the investor of this movie, if you can convince him to support your plan, your second brother can not give other people's face, Mr. Lin's face must be taken into account more or less, right?"

As soon as Er Dongsheng heard that this idea was good, he didn't say anything more to Qin Pei, greeted him, and hung up the phone in a hurry.

——

After listening to Er Dongsheng's thoughts in the café, Lin Youlun finally understood what Er Dongsheng would end up with a "not according to common sense" evaluation in the future, Jiang Dawei and Zhai Long have not been in contact with each other for more than ten years, and Er Dongsheng actually wants to find the two to cooperate in filming, this idea is really unexpected.

I have to say that Er Dongsheng chose this timing very cleverly, at last year's Taiwan Golden Horse Awards, Zhai Long and Jiang Dawei did have a little sign of reconciliation, and many viewers hoped that this pair of "peerless twins" could work together again, if "Speed of Life and Death" could bring these two back together, there would be an eye-catching attraction in publicity.

Of course, this alone can't convince Lin Youlun.

"There are a total of 3 main characters in this movie, the male protagonist is your brother, and the female protagonist is your ex-girlfriend, are you not afraid of other people's gossip if you arrange it like this?" Lin Youlun's question is a bit of an entrance examination.

Er Dongsheng replied very directly: "External actions do not avoid hatred, and internal actions do not avoid relatives." Although Ah Yu and I didn't have to be lovers, we haven't reached the point of becoming enemies yet. As for my brother, I first thought he was suitable for the role, and then I thought about his relationship with me, because I was a brother with him, so it would be easier to communicate, and I felt that this was something that no other actor could do to play this role. ”

Lin Youlun then asked: "Then why do you think that if I come forward, your brother will definitely agree to play this role?" ”

Er Dongsheng scratched his head, "Actually, I'm not too sure, I've tried everyone else, think about it, the only one who can convince my brother is Mr. Lin." ”

"Do you need me to come in person?"

Er Dongsheng hurriedly waved his hand, and said "no" repeatedly, it is one thing to use Lin Youlun's momentum to persuade Jiang Dawei, and it is another thing to ask Lin Youlun to come forward in person, the former is still negotiable, and if the latter refuses and sweeps Lin Youlun's face, it will be a big trouble.

"It's better for me to go and talk to my brother about this matter in person, I think he will definitely give Mr. Lin this face."

Lin Youlun nodded, "Okay, then I'll wait for your good news." ”

——

Of course, things are not as simple as Er Dongsheng said, although with Lin Youlun's support, Jiang Dawei is not so easy to convince, at first I heard that he was going to play a rival role with Zhai Long in the film, Jiang Dawei refused to agree.

Jiang Dawei always kept in mind the fall out with Zhai Long because of the uneven role, and the reason why he rejected Er Dongsheng was that after so many years, he finally felt that his grievances with Zhai Long had faded a little, and now if they work together again, if there is any unpleasantness, then even ordinary friends have nothing to do.

Er Dongsheng lied and lied to Jiang Dawei that this time it was Zhai Long who offered to play the villain himself and gave the actor to Jiang Dawei.

When Jiang Dawei and Zhai Long did not break up, they have always played partners in Zhang Che's movies, and the only rival play is called "Stinging Horse", Zhai Long played the villain, and then died at the hands of Jiang Dawei, and then Jiang Dawei died at the hands of Zhai Long's men. Many years later, the film was adapted into a movie called "Casting Names" by a Hong Kong director named Chen Kexin, in which he had a bad taste and carried private goods - there is a Zhai in the film, and there is a scene where he rubs his hands and says, "It's not lively when Lord Jiang is not there." This shows the status of Jiang Dawei and Zhai Long in the minds of that generation of Hong Kong people.

Er Dongsheng is very smart, he knows that even if Jiang Dawei has doubts about this matter, he will not go to Zhai Long for verification, and because of Lin Youlun's face, he can't stand Er Dongsheng's hard pleading, and finally agreed to star in this movie.

Originally, the Hong Kong media's attention to "Speed of Life and Death" has always been focused on Er Dongsheng and Zhang Manyu, the breakup lovers, but when the news of Jiang Dawei starring in the film came out, the topics of media discussion suddenly gathered on Zhai Long and Jiang Dawei, the former "peerless double pride".

Because of the bad relationship between his brother Ni Yu and Lin Youlun, he stopped in the column of "Ming Pao", and often wrote articles criticizing Lin Youlun's love-hearted and morally corrupt Yishu Shitai, this time it was rare to say a good thing about Lin Youlun, who made her a loyal fan of Jiang Dawei and Zhai Long, and every time she took advantage of her position to make a big at the end of the pen, this time Zhai Long and Jiang Dawei re-cooperated in filming, which really made her excited for a while.
