68. Chapter 68
Chu Youyuan had only been here for less than two days, but he unexpectedly had a good conversation with Xu Yuan, who had only met twice.
The two are less than a year apart, and although they grew up in different environments, they have a lot of common hobbies and have a lot to talk about.
After exchanging surfing experience, Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows at him, looked at Song Yan sitting next to him, and gave two thumbs up, "I'm optimistic about you~!" β
The relationship between men and women in the entertainment industry has always been unstable, even if the two of them are good today, maybe a breakup notice will suddenly break out tomorrow. Xu Yuan had known them for a short time, and although he could talk about them, he didn't know much about them after all, so he didn't dare to say things like "I wish them a hundred years of good together".
Chu Youyuan smiled and said thank you.
"That's right," Xu Yuan slapped his face, "Your plane tomorrow night, right, why don't we go out for dinner tonight, or just have a party?" It's also a send-off for you. β
Song Yan thought about it, Chu Youyuan hadn't eaten anything here, so it was always a little unreasonable to leave like this. But the party or something is still forgotten, and I have to get up at half past five tomorrow morning to put on makeup.
The seasonings on the table in the north are nothing more than soy sauce, vinegar, chili pepper and the like, but here there are more fish sauce and oyster sauce, and even a popular dish with tomatoes and scrambled eggs is not a taste.
She couldn't get used to eating in the first few days, and she wanted to cry about steamed buns in the middle of the night, and she barely got used to it until recently. However, Chu Youyuan's hometown is by the sea, so he should be well adapted to seafood such as fish balls here, right?
So the three of them went out for supper, tasting and packing the special pastries from a local century-old shop. Song Yan also bought a pair of good-colored unicorn button bloodstone seals, asked Chu Youyuan for the names of his parents, and asked people to help carve them for him to take back.
Chu Youyuan smiled and didn't speak, his eyes were full of affection, and Xu Yuan whistled beside him, "Oh, I'm blind, I'm blind, it's amazing, I didn't come out to be a light bulb if I knew it." β
They didn't hide their whereabouts when they went out to eat, they just casually wore sunglasses and hats, and after a while, they were recognized by the onlookers.
Xu Yuan is not well-known in China, so he was ignored as a passerby from the beginning, and everyone just attacked Song Yan and Chu Youyuan, asking for a group photo and asking for an autograph, and he was stunned to give him a treatment to the little assistant who was neglected.
He is also big-hearted, not only is he not annoyed, but he also took the initiative to help maintain order, waving his arms to beckon everyone to line up, "Line up, line up, hey, this aunt, you have already asked for an autograph just now, I remember it." Don't worry, little sister, be careful ......"
Song Yan burst into laughter directly, signing autographs for everyone in a good mood, and helping to introduce, "This is Xu Yuan, the big drama we are working on together will meet you at the end of the year, I hope you will support you a lot." β
Everyone responded, and a few people who were not firm on the spot looked at Xu Yuan a few times and then became "fraternity", smiling and praising him, "Oh, don't say it, the young man looks really energetic." β
Xu Yuan also laughed and nodded very immodestly, "Thank you, thank you, everyone is also very beautiful." β
Everyone laughed, and someone asked Chu Youyuan, "Old Chu, are you coming here to make a cameo?" β
Chu Youyuan shook his head honestly, "No, I just came here to visit the class." β
After a brief and almost negligible disappointment, a group of people became excited again, "The dwarf oil is inseparable, and it has all been chased from the north to the southernmost point!" β
*******
After her boyfriend came to visit the class, Song Yan's enthusiasm for work went to a higher level, which undoubtedly made Xu Yuan, who always played with her, feel pressured.
I'm two years older than others, and if I can't catch it, this person will lose a lot of hair!
With the passage of time, the peach blossoms become more and more enchanting, which can be called in full bloom, with a kind of amazement and inexplicable fear of blooming.
The crew further accelerated the progress and gathered all the scenes related to peach blossoms to shoot day and night, for fear of missing the flowering period.
It's another year of peach blossoms, and just when the protagonists' lives are going well, the eldest brother who went out to collect accounts suddenly died in an accident, and the family suddenly fell into a gloomy cloud.
There are three hardships in life: losing a father in a young age, being widowed in middle age, and losing a child in old age.
The hero's mother couldn't bear this sudden blow, and fell ill all of a sudden, and the old man was also white-headed overnight, his energy was not as good as before, and he was far less comfortable handling business than in the past.
But the male protagonist was reluctant to take over the business, and repeatedly excused himself, and the heroine couldn't bear to see the family business decaying, so she had to go with her to help, who knew that it caused her husband's dissatisfaction.
Xu Yuan stood under the peach blossom tree with his hands behind his back, and complained to his wife with some displeasure, "The family's business is taken care of by the people under it, how can you do this as a young grandmother?" Showing up, making people laugh. β
Song Yan subconsciously took a step forward, just wanted to defend himself but swallowed back the words that came to his lips, just bowed his head and said nothing.
Xu Yuan touched the flute on the stone table, suddenly sighed, and said quietly, "How long have we not been able to sit down and talk?" β
After all, he couldn't hold back, Song Yan said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I'm just too busy." β
I have to serve my in-laws, I have to help take care of my business, I have to take care of my eldest brother's widow and son, and I have to deal with internal and external relationships...... There are a lot of people up and down, how many things are waiting for her to deal with, and where does she have the leisure to talk about her heart?
Xu Yuan snorted, obviously still angry.
There were tears rolling in his eyes, Song Yan pinched his palm fiercely with the wide cuffs, and then he didn't cry, "The eldest brother is gone, the sister-in-law is useless, my parents are old, and you don't like to do it, I don't take over, is it difficult to watch the family business passed down from our ancestors ruined in our hands?" β
In recent years, the government has signed a lot of trade contracts with foreigners, and since the end of last year, many workshops using Western aircraft have suddenly popped up. Those workshops clearly do not need a few people, but the number of things produced is not decreasing but increasing, even the cost has been greatly reduced, in just half a year has seized a lot of market share of several time-honored brands, including their family, if it goes on like this, the consequences are unimaginable.
I was so worried about this matter that I couldn't sleep with my in-laws, and I stayed up late at night to discuss countermeasures with my teachers every day, and I had to go out to check all parties as soon as it was dawn......
It's obviously so hard, it's clearly for this family, but in the end, did you do it wrong?
After all, Xu Yuan and her are in love with each other, and the emotional foundation is still very deep, and the anger is only because he feels that he has been left out recently, and some people outside say sour things, saying that he is a big man and is now being raised by a woman...... For a while, I was a little annoyed.
He was not very angry this time, and when he saw his wife so wronged, he couldn't help it first.
"Don't be upset," he said with annoyance, "I'm just angry that the people below me are useless, but I can leave these things to them." β
Ben was also born as a young lady, and she grew up playing a small and delicate pet, and it was sad enough to endure the grievances in front of her, but now seeing that her husband was still so naΓ―ve, she couldn't help complaining, "Don't you know? The people below are not of the same mind with us at all, this is not the same as before, and the big guys are not signing a death deed of sale/body, and nearly 20 people have quit their jobs in the last month alone. β
The more she said it, the more bitter she became.
In the past, when the family was well-off, she couldn't feel that everything was not worried, but now that her family is in trouble, she realized for the first time that Xu Yuan was not as perfect as she imagined.
He is too idealistic, just thinking about having money for himself, drinking wine and admiring the moon every day, reciting poems and paintings, but he doesn't want to think about where all the money comes from, and he is even more unwilling to take responsibility.
In the past, there was a capable eldest brother in the family, and in the context of the primogeniture inheritance system, it was a happy thing for him to shake his hands to be the second young master. But at this time, the eldest brother is gone, the sister-in-law is a little woman who does not leave the door, and the eldest of the three children is only six years old, as the second young master, how can he not support the burden of supporting the family?
But he didn't want to......
"These ungrateful dogs!"
As a well-loved young master in the family, no one has ever told him this, Xu Yuan was angry after hearing this, and threw the flute on the table out casually.
The flute snapped on the bluestone slab, rolled along the terrain a few times, and finally hit the trunk of the peach blossom tree and stopped.
As soon as he realized what he had thrown out, Xu Yuan regretted it.
Not to mention how many years this flute has been with him, he usually stays away like a baby, and their husband and wife are still married because of it.
Xu Yuan hurriedly ran over, picked up the flute and wiped it carefully with expensive satin clothes, and when he saw it in front of him, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Oops, it's broken." β
I saw that the flute was as warm as jade, and there were two big openings, almost spreading from beginning to end, and I saw that it was useless.
Song Yan just stood there and watched, his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he couldn't move a single step.
From the moment the flute was thrown out, one of her hearts seemed to fly out, and then fell to the ground heavily, falling painfully.
It's strange to say, even if she doesn't look at it, even before Xu Yuan shouts, she knows that the flute is cracked.
It's cracked, and it can't be repaired anymore.
It's like there has been an estrangement between the two of them that can't be ignored, no matter how much they make up for it afterwards, no matter how hard they try, it is impossible to go back to the past.
Because there is a person who is always unwilling to change.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the petals that were about to fall were violently rolled up, overwhelming the sky, and Song Yan couldn't help but squint. It was obviously the spring wind, blowing softly on her face, but in her heart, it was cold for no reason.
One of the two people was still squatting on the ground holding the flute and sighing, while the other was standing in place stunned, so close and so far away.
Another gust of wind blew, and somehow, Song Yan suddenly burst into tears.
When filming this scene, it was at night, and in order to wait for the "full moon as bright and flawless as a jade plate" in that round of scripts, the whole crew waited for more than a week.
The night is as cool as water, and the moonlight is like washing, like a jade-colored mist pouring down from the sky, evenly distributed in all corners of the courtyard, and even the lights are saved.
In ancient times, there was a saying that there were beauties under the lamp, but they didn't know that under the moonlight were even more beautiful like jade.
The fluttering petals are like a peach blossom rain, one after another, and Song Yan's dress covered with tulle dances in the spring breeze, which is beautiful.
The people on the set were stunned, and they didn't dare to come out, for fear that they would fall short because of their own breath.
But beauty is beautiful, and this situation and this scene make people feel sad and uncomfortable for a while, as if there is something heavy pressing on the heart and lingering.
The play was too deep, and Song Yan didn't sleep at all after finishing work that night, so he simply went to the stone table in the peach blossom forest and sat until dawn, intermittently scaring three or four security guards who came to patrol the night......
When it was still time for breakfast, Xiao Lori, who played the eldest daughter of the eldest brother, jumped up and talked to her, which broke the deadlock.
"Sister, didn't you sleep well?"
Song Yan turned his head and smiled at her, "Yes." β
Little Lori's name is Zhao Yi, she is only seven years old this year, with big eyes and white skin, she looks cute and cute, and she is also eccentric. However, it's just a little too fine.
When Zhao Yi's child was more than two years old, he was selected by the scout to shoot a few advertisements for maternal and child products, and then intermittently filmed a lot of advertisements such as children's clothing, children's toys, school supplies, etc., and played two heroines in two large-scale TV series last year.
Since the first time they filmed the advertisement, Zhao Yi and her family have been like eating marrow, digging out the opportunity to find the mirror, and asking for leave for the child to go out to pick up the work at the end of three days. Her mother also quit her job for this reason and was in charge of her work, which is a role such as an agent.
In such an environment, coupled with the fact that there are more people who go out to contact her, and when she sees the world, the little girl is already a good person.
On the first day of joining the group, she held a big bag of snacks and distributed them to everyone in the crew, her brothers and sisters did not leave her mouth, and she called grandpa affectionately to Su Ping, blinking her eyes and saying grandpa, I love you or something.
A few days later, everyone got acquainted, and Zhao Yi's little girl's ability to watch people put down dishes was revealed:
For Su Ping, Song Yan, Xu Yuan and other backbone of the crew, she pestered and talked, sang and danced whenever she was free, and her words and deeds obviously revealed the intention of flattering and being close; As for other less important dramas, I lost my enthusiasm at the beginning, and when I was in a good mood, I shouted a few brothers and sisters perfunctorily, and when I was in a bad mood, I simply turned a blind eye.
How old is she? Who in the crew hasn't been in the entertainment industry for several years, what can't you see?
But after all, she is still a child, and she has not done anything really bad, and her mother has an expression of "my daughter is so capable and I am proud", everyone is really hard to say anything, but the corresponding treatment of her is not as sincere as at the beginning.
Children are the most sensitive to changes in people's feelings, and Zhao Yi has the talent to observe words and feelings, and everyone is aware of the change in their attitude towards her, so they grabbed Su Ping's leg that day, and asked pitifully, "Grandpa, did Yiyi do something wrong, and everyone doesn't like me anymore?" β
Just such a sentence, more than 100 people in the whole crew were speechless, and every time they thought about it, they were covered in hair.
