Starbucks, Ningzhou Civic Square store.

It was 10 o'clock in the morning, not a weekend, and this time was almost the most idle time of the day in the store, when the work was done, and several Starbucks employees chatted about gossip as usual.

“…… This primitive movie, directed by Chen Ming, is very popular now. ”

"Who played it?"

"Qin Feng, especially masculine."

"I haven't heard of it."

"Oops, it's just that acting in this movie has just become popular."

"A cup of ......" A young boy walked into the store, and the sound of chatting suddenly disappeared. The boy lowered his head and carefully flipped through the menu, and it could be seen that he shouldn't have come to this kind of place often, and he was still a little unfamiliar with the ordering procedure, "Iced chocolate, this, medium glass." ”

"Sir, a big cup of iced chocolate, isn't it, less ice?"

"It's a mid-cup ......" The boy apparently still had a pair of sunglasses on his face, which made him look a little more mature - but even so, it was clear that he was still a child, "Okay, yes, big glass." Ice cube...... Normal, right? ”

"Your surname, sir."

"Ah, what?" The boy still had earplugs in one of his ears, and he seemed to think that he had just misheard, or had not heard clearly.

"Please ask your surname, so that I can call you."

"Oh, Wu."

After ordering, the boy found a sofa seat by the window and sat down, he put down the backpack behind his back, and quickly took out a tablet from it.

However, he seemed to be very unaccustomed to the height relationship between the chair and the table, and after trying back and forth a few times, he always felt awkward.

In the end, he simply lay down - in this coffee shop, which is known for its temperament and style, the boy's posture is obviously somewhat unsightly, and his behavior will almost attract the attention of the few customers. However, the boy didn't seem to care about this, just staring intently at the computer in his hand.

It looked like he was reading a large section of text, one hand constantly swiping across the tablet...... It can be seen that he is fascinated by it and enjoys it very much, and after a while, he even began to hum a song gently with the music in the headphones.

Soon the waiter at the counter began to call out to the boy: "Mr. Wu, your iced chocolate is ready." ”

But the boy had earphones plugged into both ears at this time, and obviously didn't hear clearly.

The waiter shouted twice, and after making sure that the boy was not listening at all, he took the initiative to send it over.

After noticing the boy's sitting posture, the waiter who delivered the drink hesitated, not knowing whether to remind Mr. Wu tactfully, or not to see it.

Because this Mr. Wu's sitting posture at the moment is really not very elegant. In fact, this posture cannot be called sitting, or lying is better - but not completely to the extent of lying down - seen in an intermediate state of sitting and lying, and a more accurate word to describe it should be called paralysis.

There used to be a decadent sitting posture on the Internet, called Ge You paralysis, this Mr. Wu's sitting posture is almost comparable to it, but the two legs are a little more energetic than the decadence of Ge You's paralysis.

Generally speaking, it is not advisable to have customers maintain this near-lying position, as it will obviously cause some kind of distress to nearby customers. But now after all, there are few people, and the waiter thought about it, but still didn't speak. At this boy's age, if he is said to be in a hurry, it will not be good-looking.

However, after going back, the waiter inevitably had to frown secretly with a few colleagues. The store manager gave a vaccination: "Pay attention to his feet, if they are on a chair...... Or go over and remind me a little. ”

The store quickly regained its calm, and the boy didn't have to put his feet on the couch in the next step, he just kept maintaining that kind of more positive half-lying motion, half-lying down reading and listening to music, humming in his mouth, shaking his legs.

When Shen Changwen came into the store, he saw Wu Xiaoqing, who was such an image.

"What's wrong, haven't gotten used to it yet?" Shen Changwen knew the source of Wu Xiaoqing's posture.

This is the case for people who come back from a gravity-free environment, because the need for the heart to pump blood in the gravity-free environment becomes smaller, and if you continue to walk and sit normally after returning to Earth, the burden on the heart becomes greater. Lying down is the best solution.

Wu Xiaoqing is young and in good health, he doesn't rest and acts as usual, but Shen Changwen came back more than a week early, and he hasn't fully recovered yet. Now you have to carry a walking stick when you go out.

"Habit," Wu Xiaoqing said, "there, no matter what posture, I always feel like I'm lying down...... Now I can't even walk well, and I have to lie down as soon as I sit down. ”

"What are you looking at?"

"Professor Shen's textbook you compiled, materials science," Wu Xiaoqing turned over the tablet and gave Shen Changwen a look, "By the way, Yevgeny also asked me to ask you, have you discovered the principle of invisible materials." ”

Shen Changwen shook his head: "The search and rescue team won't let the samples come back, and we can't do the analysis just by relying on the little equipment we brought over...... This involves a leak, and you can help him ask too? ”

"Since I can ask, it means that I can't leak secrets," Wu Xiaoqing took off his headphones and picked up most of the chocolates in front of him. The ice cubes had almost melted, Wu Xiaoqing took the straw, snorted violently, drank most of the cup in one go, and then sighed softly, "It's so cool." ”

Wu Xiaoqing looked at the time on the computer: "It's almost, why haven't you come yet." ”

"Great director, busy," Shen Changwen said, "Meet in this kind of place, and you are not afraid that he will be recognized." ”

"What's this, just meet and leave anyway. Is this the closest to the company, if it is in the company, it will be more troublesome. We now have paparazzi downstairs in our company. In the past two days, many people have come to ask us if we want to recruit actors. ”

Shen Changwen shook his head, as if he was a little uncomfortable with this topic: "Chen Ming has been a little too hyped, and he didn't tell us about it." ”

"Maybe he thinks we'll be happy," Wu Xiaoqing was more indifferent, "I'm hesitant now, will it be self-defeating to continue to cooperate with him." ”

"Didn't you say the search and rescue team was ordered?"

Wu Xiaoqing shrugged: "But we also have to consider our mood...... There are so many directors, why must it be him. I'm scared...... The search and rescue team is not a big deal, but we are afraid. Make a sequel, and we don't point to it that it really makes money. ”

"But this first part really made money, and the box office was hundreds of millions?"

"More than 400 million," Wu Xiaoqing quickly drank the rest of the chocolate, leaving only an empty tube to suck in the cup, making a gurgling noise. This kind of small action is also something that people of Wu Xiaoqing's age will like, "But it has nothing to do with us, and we don't take dividends." ”

"Didn't he give you another two million dollars?"

"What it means, I think that making a sequel can be popular," Wu Xiaoqing was a little unimpressed, "If you really want to make money, with Qinglan's current amount of funds, we can invest ourselves." ”

"Not afraid of losing?"

"It's a big deal, I let the search and rescue team be the director...... In fact, the entire direction of this movie is grasped by the search and rescue team. You see, he wrote the script, he directed the scene, he gave comments on the shots, and I also went to edit...... If I were Chenming, I would definitely have a bit of a B number in my heart...... Otherwise, he is so kind-hearted, he must give me another two million? ”

Shen Changwen did not continue on this topic, Wu Xiaoqing was right. Chen Ming's previous directorial works have also been seen before, and it is indeed far from the level of this one. But they can talk about it internally, and if they are heard by others, they will definitely say that they don't know what to do, and they will climb the pole with a stick......

"But then again, we don't have the kung fu to tinker so carefully with the movie," Wu Xiaoqing said, "It's just for a name." A sequel is a sequel...... He's coming. ”

Shen Changwen turned his head and saw Chen Ming's figure at the door. He didn't come alone, he also followed two actors on the side, one Wu Xiaoqing knew, that is, Qin Feng, who starred in "Saving the Ancestors" before. He didn't know the other one, he was more face-to-face, he was a woman, but he looked very attractive.

It was lunch time, the most crowded time in the store, and as soon as they came in, and there were no sunglasses and masks to cover them, someone in the store immediately got up and went over to ask for autographs.

"Director Chen, I'm your fan, I just watched your "Save the Ancestors", and the shooting was very good......"

"Can I sign it on my bag?"

"Lu Wanqing, can you take a photo with me?"

“……”

Seeing this group of people walking straight to the "little boy" who was half-lying on the sofa, the customers in the store showed obvious surprise, and the store manager and the clerk who had brought coffee to the "little boy" were even more inexplicably half of the cold sweat.

Chen Ming's trip is obviously a bit deliberate, maybe it is to let Wu Xiaoqing see how popular they are now, feel the success of the first play, or maybe take the opportunity to create a momentum, just like the news that he unilaterally revealed to reporters before that he would cooperate with Wu Xiaoqing to shoot the second part......

These tricks may be common in the entertainment industry, but Wu Xiaoqing still disagrees. It's just to negotiate a good price later-Wu Xiaoqing is not only the screenwriter of the sequel, but also the person in charge of some investors. It is estimated that Director Chen has some kind of confidence in himself, and he just gives himself some confidence in doing so.

Among the three people, Qin Feng, who was the least famous, was the first to get rid of the crowd and came over to greet Wu Xiaoqing: "Teacher Wu, Professor Shen is good." ”

Wu Xiaoqing asked, "You guys came by car." ”

"Yes."

"Let's go straight to your car, I won't talk here."

"Okay."

Although Qin Feng has a little name in a play, he is just an errand runner now. After passing the word, he quickly followed Wu Xiaoqing and them to the business car, and waited for five or six minutes, but Chen Ming still didn't come back, Qin Feng wanted to go back and urge, but Wu Xiaoqing stopped: "It's okay, we'll wait longer." ”

After speaking, Wu Xiaoqing asked him again: "Bring the two of you over, did Director Chen let you try the play first?" ”

Qin Feng came to the spirit: "It's true to say that the sequel is true. ”

"Sort of," Wu Xiaoqing nodded, "The plot design is similar, and it is also to save the ancients." This time it's a volcanic eruption, Pompeii's doomsday has seen it, something like this. ”

Qin Feng took out a small notebook very seriously, and it looked like he was recording: "Then what will be the difference in the state of the characters this time?" ”

Qin Feng was the protagonist before, the number one position, that is, he played Wu Xiaoqing.

Since it's a sequel, it's best for the protagonist to follow the original. Others may face some changes - if this movie is really made into a series of movies, Qin Feng, as the starring actor, will definitely become popular, which is a flashpoint in his career. Qin Feng participated in the filming process of the entire crew, and he naturally knew what Wu Xiaoqing meant to the movie.

Not to mention that he is still one of the investors, even if he is just a screenwriter, just doing the previous things, Wu Xiaoqing's importance to Qin Feng is still undoubted.

What's more, because Wu Xiaoqing was critically patted on the shoulder during the casting process, Qin Feng has always maintained enough gratitude and respect for Wu Xiaoqing, whether on the set or after the end of filming.

Therefore, it is naturally not surprising that Qin Feng would have such an attitude.

"It's no different," is different from the trivial and delicate high requirements on the set, in the creative stage, Wu Xiaoqing feels that there is no need to say anything about the state of the characters and dig into the hearts of the characters......

In the commercial series of movies, the first movie is the most critical, after setting up people, what to do is just push the boat down the river, repeating it again and again, "But I heard Director Chen say that emotional drama should be added...... I'll have to see the effect before I ......."

As soon as Wu Xiaoqing finished speaking, Chen Ming came back, and apologized again and again when he opened the car door: "I've waited for a long time, I've waited for a long time, I'm sorry, the fans are too enthusiastic."
