For Lin Mingyang's performance at the Emmy Awards, the Hollywood media mostly gave positive reviews, after all, there are very few winners who can be as unique as Lin Mingyang, and the mainstream culture in the United States pays great attention to the ability to read surnames. Of course, there are exceptions to everything, and Lin Mingyang's agent Ex is one of them.

"How do I think your acceptance speech is like issuing a will, and even using your own epitaph!"

"Isn't man born to die?" Lin Mingyang has long been accustomed to Ax's ironic tone, "Besides, when I came to this world, I didn't plan to go back alive!" ”

"Your outlook on life is too gloomy, it looks like you should do a few more comedies!" Ex shook his head: "Life is a long journey, all we can do is try not to let ourselves have regrets. ”

"Do you have any regrets?"

"Of course!" Ex didn't hear the other meaning of Lin Mingyang's words, "Everyone has regrets, so I said 'as much as possible' instead of 'absolutely', please pay attention to the difference between these two words!" ”

"Are you teaching a screenwriter how to use vocabulary?"

"I just wanted to emphasize the difference between the two!"

"Tell me, what kind of regrets did you have when you were my age?" Lin Mingyang didn't hold on to his mistakes, this abnormal behavior made Exx vigilant, and he felt that this kid was "playing tricks" on himself.

"This is my personal **!"

"You should use your own life experience to educate teenagers like me, the experience summed up by predecessors is always worth learning!" Lin Mingyang found a very beautiful reason.

"I don't like memories because it makes me feel like I'm getting older!"

"Memories are not a sign that a person is getting old, repeated memories are!"

"Are you sure you want to hear it?" Ex looked at him suspiciously.

"Why not?"

"Well, for example, in my high school, if I had studied harder at that time, maybe I could have applied to Ivy League universities, such as Princeton, Yale or Harvard, and after graduation, I would have successfully entered the elite of American society, and maybe Clinton and George W. Bush would be my alumni; Maybe Bill Gates is my former classmate... I say all this, in fact, I want to tell you that a good university is likely to change your future! ”

Lin Mingyang was not only not convinced, but immediately found an example of rebuttal: "Jack Welch just went to an ordinary state university, but he is now the most successful CEO in the world." Even he admits that if he had chosen MIT, he might have been squeezed by his former friends and would have had a hard time getting ahead, but it was that smaller state university that gave him a lot of self-confidence. All management revolves around self-confidence, and success in life is no exception. ”

"Then I'll give you a reminder that you should never be obsessed with looking for experience from reading biographies of successful people, most of these stories are packaged, and many important facts won't tell you. In Bill Gates's book, for example, he won't tell you that his mother was a director of IBM and that she was the one who made Gates' first big business. Warren Buffett's book will only tell you that he visited the New York Stock Exchange when he was 8 years old, but it will not tell you that his father, who was a member of Congress, took him there, and it was a director of Goldman Sachs who was in charge of hosting him. ”

"Well, tell me about your other regrets, such as feelings!"

"My high school relationship doesn't have any reference for young people today." Ex flatly refused.

"For example, your first girlfriend, or the girl you had a crush on but never had the courage to confess?" Lin Mingyang had no intention of giving up this topic.

"Felix, this is not writing a script, not everyone can have a similar experience in real life with those romantic stories in your head!" Ex saw through Lin Mingyang's intentions, because he found that this guy was constantly changing the topic from the beginning, and what Exx wanted to talk to Lin Mingyang today was about hiring a tutor for him.

"Commissioned by your mother, I have found you the information of all the famous tutors in the city, you have to pick one!"

"There are also life photos, Ex, you know me too well!" Lin Mingyang opened the thick resume and was very surprised at first, but after turning through most of it, the expression on his face became more and more ugly: "Why are they all uncles and aunts?" This is also what my mother asked? ”

Ms. Catherine set the age limit at 35 years old, which she believes is the only way to ensure that the teachers she finds have a lot of teaching experience. Ex nodded helplessly, "This archive is designed in the format you like, and it took me a lot of effort to find their life photos." When Hollywood directors choose actors, they like to look at the candidates' information like this, and finally determine the right candidates, and this kind of treatment allows you to enjoy it in advance! ”

Lin Mingyang complained: "You have extra energy, you might as well help me make another movie!" ”

"I'm sorry, it's impossible!" There was no room for negotiation in Ex's tone.

"Do you really have no regrets when you were in high school?" Lin Mingyang threw aside the information in his hand, then flipped through the laptop on the table, clicked on the browser, and typed in Ex's name in the search option, "Let me check it!" ”

A row of search results appeared on the webpage, and Lin Mingyang clicked on the first item and read it: "Born in 1973 in Madillon, Arkansas, he studied at Law Public High School at the age of 15... Uh, I have to say that the name of this school you go to is so cool."

"You search for my stuff on the Internet!" Ex put down the coffee cup in a panic and wanted to close the laptop, but was stopped by Lin Mingyang, "Oh my God, you actually passed the grade, and then you are still the American football star in the school!" ”

"That's the damn school that wants me to help them win one more season of weekly championships, so they cheated on my test scores!" Ex hurriedly explained.

"Maybe my imagination isn't enough, I can't see any shadow of an American football player from your current size!" Lin Mingyang looked at Aix's bulging lower abdomen "pitifully": "It seems that you haven't participated in physical exercise for a long time, look, there are still photos of you back then!" ”

He clicked on the link to the picture, this is a group photo of the high school American football league champion, and after looking for a long time, Lin Mingyang vaguely saw Ex's appearance from the handsome young man standing on the right side of the middle row of the back row of the team, "Oh my God, is this you?" ”

"I was the most popular athlete in school!" Talking about his glorious past, Ex's face was full of pride.

"Prince Charming in school back then is still a poor bachelor!" Lin Mingyang sighed a little embarrassed, his gaze stayed on the photo for a while, and suddenly made a new discovery: "Ex, who is the beauty in the photo?" ”

Ex's face suddenly became very unnatural, "She... She's my classmate! ”

"Is it really a classmate?" Ex's expression naturally did not hide from Lin Mingyang's eyes, and he looked carefully at the smiling woman in the photo, "This classmate of yours looks quite old, in order to be able to stand with you in the past, I think she has at least left level 3, and I want to ask, has she graduated from high school now?" ”

"This—" Ex himself wrapped himself in.

"Oops, how did I forget, there is a line of small print under the photo, it seems to be a string of names, the picture displayed on the Internet is too small, I downloaded it and enlarged it!" Lin Mingyang rubbed his hands, his expression looked very excited.

Furious, Exx lunged straight into the power of his laptop, and only after he unplugged it did he realize that he had done something stupid, that he could use batteries. Lin Mingyang glared at him with disdain and continued to fiddle with the picture.

"Turn off your damn machine, I'll tell you all!" Ex covered his face and sat back on the couch.

Lin Mingyang didn't continue to stimulate his agent, he made a cup of coffee for Ex. "During the Qing Dynasty in China, another famous literati named Pu Songling used to provide people with tea for free at the intersection of the road, and the tea drinker only had to tell him a story. He uses this form to gather material for his novels. ”

"Tea turned into coffee now?" Ex seemed to have made some kind of determination, "Don't come to this set, I can tell you the story, don't talk about other things!" ”

Lin Mingyang pulled out a black-shell notebook from under the seat cushion of the sofa, which was prepared to facilitate the recording of the inspiration that suddenly popped up in his head, which recorded a lot of interesting things, but unfortunately Ex couldn't understand anything, because all written on it was Chinese. "Okay, then you can start now!"

"Her name is Martha, and she was the principal of my high school!"

"Young headmistress, handsome American football player!" Lin Mingyang professionally typed two keywords in his notebook, and then pulled a horizontal line symbolizing the relationship between the two, and put a question mark on it: "Nothing happened between you?" ”

"I said it, this is not writing a vulgar abusive drama!" Ex protested.

Lin Mingyang made a gesture of please: "Okay, I promise not to interrupt again!" ”

"She's younger than you think, she's only five years older than me!" A look of remembrance appeared on Ex's face.

"She can't just let you repeat a grade, right?" After Lin Mingyang couldn't help but interject, he consciously gagged his mouth with his hand and motioned for Ex to continue.

"At first, she was just an assistant to the principal, but during that time the real principal had a car accident, so she temporarily acted as the school's regular affairs, for this arrangement, many people in the school did not agree at that time, but I thought she would be able to do it, because she smiled so charming..."

"Ahem!" Lin Mingyang coughed and reminded Ex, who was starting to be a little nymphomaniac, not to go off-topic.

"The reason I really did repeat a grade was because I was terrible, no college accepted my application, and I was able to stay in school as a repeater because they liked my performance on the field, and I wanted to have some college coach find out about me by playing in the high school league for another year. At the lowest point in my life, Martha showed up, she selflessly helped me a lot, and my academic performance gradually improved from then on, and finally we won the high school league, and I applied for admission to New York University with my grades. ”

Lin Mingyang didn't speak, but handed Ex a box of tissues.

"What are you doing here?" Ex was confused by his inexplicable actions.

"I already have a hunch that the end of the story will be a tragedy, so prepare for you in advance!"

"Thank you!" Originally, Ex's mood had not changed, but as soon as Lin Mingyang said this, he couldn't help but pull out a card and blow his nose fiercely, "I was hopeful and ready to tell her the good news, but in the principal's office, I found that she was kissing another young male teacher in the school." At that moment, the world around me collapsed. It was my first love of innocence, and it hit me hard, and I haven't touched American football since, because I don't want to bring back painful memories of myself. ”

"I'm so sorry!" Lin Mingyang patted Ex on the shoulder, "But strictly speaking, you can only be regarded as unrequited love!" ”

"Say whatever you want!"

"If it had been me, do you know what I would have done?" Lin Mingyang began a character simulation, and he pretended to be Ex: "I will kick the door open, and then beat up the guy who snatched love with a knife, and finally expose the scandal of him seducing other female teachers in front of Martha." The painful Martha found out that she had been deceived and was in pain, and then I would bravely confess to her, and she threw herself into my arms and cried bitterly! I even figured out the lines, 'Hey, beauty, do you need me to lend you a shoulder?' ”

"How do you know that the male teacher is very attentive?" After watching his "performance", Ex asked in surprise.

"I guess!" Lin Mingyang took a sip of water, "Generally, those abusive TV series like to act like this!" ”

"I also learned the news from my classmates later, that hateful guy cheated on Martha's heart, and then fooled around with other women behind her back, and not long after the two got married, Martha broke up with him!" Ex explained bitterly.

"You still miss her?" Lin Mingyang thought of a possibility in his heart: "Then she is still in that school?" ”

"Martha is now the official principal of Faco High School!" Ex knew that there seemed to be a lot more, "The first thing she did when she took office was to kick her ex-husband out of school!" ”

"According to what you just said, your Martha should be only 35 years old now, the age of her prime, did she get married later?"

"How do I know?" Ex spread his hands helplessly, "I haven't been in contact with her for a long time, and all the news is from others. ”

The corner of Lin Mingyang's mouth raised an unknown smile:

"I have a good plan!"
