Chapter 67: Can't Let Go
Qiu Yuan sat in the co-pilot of his mother-in-law's car on time in the afternoon.
Today, my mother-in-law finally didn't drink when she was driving, and Qiu Yuan could see from Bai Ya's dress that she attached great importance to this military banquet of director Xu Qingda, and she was a little nervous.
"Teacher Bai Ya, your shoulder hurts?"
Qiu Yuan noticed that Bai Ya would knock his shoulders and neck with his hands from time to time while driving.
"There are occupational diseases in the writing industry, and when I am nervous, it will become serious." Bai Ya said in a very relaxed tone.
But Qiu Yuan's movements of clenching the steering wheel and the tense appearance of her body can still tell that the industry-renowned film screenwriter is under tremendous pressure.
Bai Ya is still very qualified in the industry, and the movie "The Old Man of Mountains and Rivers" alone has made her gain a lot of reputation and contacts in the industry, and the follow-up movie cannot be said to be bad, it can only be said that it is not good enough.
So it stands to reason that since Bai Ya can participate in this kind of scene, she should have been used to it a long time ago.
"Director Xu Qing has worked with you in the past, he shouldn't mind taking a look at your new script, right?"
Qiu Yuan's name for Bai Ya has already been used by you when he was talking about business.
"Director Xu Qing and I are friends, but... Director Xu Qing has already determined the script to be filmed in the near future, and this military banquet is to prepare for the casting of the movie, and I will bring the script to him this time, in the words of you young people..."
Bai Ya thought a lot when she was driving, and she couldn't think of any too appropriate adjectives for a while.
"Smashing the field?" Qiu Yuan made up for Bai Ya's later words.
"Well, it's fitting to smash the field."
When Bai Ya heard this word with a bit of a market flavor, a smile appeared on her originally tense face.
"But I just showed Director Xu Qing this script, and if I said too much, I just went through the motions, but I figured out that my shoulders and neck still couldn't stop hurting."
Bai Ya's tone was also a little low when she said this, when the old man of Shanhe first came out, how could she be a filmmaker who could be on an equal footing with Xu Qing.
Now she needs to take the script and beg others to shoot it, but in order to live, sometimes she has to let go of her arrogance as a literati.
"Why don't I go back and give you a press after this dinner is over?"
Qiu Yuan remembered that he still had a perfect massage opportunity, but it was useless.
This massage opportunity was used to exchange for the mother-in-law's favorability, and Qiu Yuan felt that it was worth it.
"You also get a massage?" Bai Ya couldn't help but glance sideways at Qiu Yuan.
"I used to study part-time in a bar for a while, and at that time, the master who took me with me praised me for my good talent." Qiu Yuan continued to lie without pressure.
Why did you learn massage when you work part-time at a bar? What kind of bar is that? Rich woman happy, right?
Of course, the last two sentences were not what Bai Ya thought.
Bai Ya didn't ask this, she thought she was listening to Qiu Yuan's jokes, and she was talking about Director Xu Qing's casting banquet.
"Qiu Yuan, after you go in, find a place to sit in the corner, be polite and don't do superfluous things, I'll talk to Director Xu Qing about the script."
Bai Ya instructed Qiu Yuan before getting out of the car.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'm the best at doing little transparent." Qiu Yuan said.
"You have received a $20 reward"
Bai Ya smiled when she heard Qiu Yuan's words, and she found that she liked to get along with Qiu Yuan, a good-speaking son-in-law.
But before Bai Ya pushed the car door and was about to go down, Qiu Yuan's joking tone suddenly changed...
"Is Teacher Bai Ya really okay?" Qiu Yuan asked seriously.
This made Bai Ya's movement of pushing the car door stagnate slightly.
"What's okay? What do you mean? ”
"The problem of face, this military banquet will inevitably come to many peers, you went up to communicate with Director Xu Qing like this, and you also took the newly written script, and then was rejected by Director Xu Qing... I am afraid that you will be ridiculed by many peers in the industry in the future. ”
Qiu Yuan is very sensitive to this kind of thing, and what Bai Ya is doing now is no different from a suicide attack in Qiu Yuan's eyes.
"You have received a $150 reward"
"+1 for your singing skills"
Qiu Yuan's concern also played a role, the smile on Bai Ya's face first disappeared for a while, and then a smile appeared that seemed to comfort Qiu Yuan.
"Classmate Qiuyuan, don't care about this, if you really want to say that my face has long been lost by the stupid things I have done over the years, this time I went to Director Xu Qing to explore the door."
Although Bai Ya said this, she still saw Qiu Yuan's expression and was very worried, this worry was not worried that Bai Ya would fail to talk about the filming of the script.
Instead, he was worried that Bai Ya would be humiliated at this party and lose face.
"Leave it to us adults to invest in your career and find a director, you just wait for my good news at the venue."
Bai Ya was a little moved, she subconsciously wanted to reach out and rub Qiu Yuan's hair.
This is the action she will do when she comforts Bai Xiaoyu.
But when he stretched out his hand, he suddenly remembered that this action was too intimate for Qiu Yuan, so he had to withdraw his hand and get out of the car with some embarrassment.
"Let's go."
Bai Ya has also stumbled in this industry for almost five or six years, and she has seen any setbacks.
So no matter how bad the outcome of this conversation is, she can face it calmly.
In this way, Bai Ya led Qiu Yuan into the venue, this was a private party, although there were paparazzi reporters squatting outside, it was still very like a party held by friends.
Qiu Yuan felt that after walking here, he could meet a star every step he took, but Qiu Yuan, a star in this world, didn't know any of them.
After Bai Ya instructed Qiu Yuan to find a place to sit and not run around, she went to talk to Director Xu Qing alone.
Qiu Yuan instinctively found a corner of the venue and sat down.
It's quite amazing when you think about it, Qiu Yuan will hide in the corner every time he comes to this kind of occasion, but Qiu Yuan is also used to it, so after sitting down, he didn't think too much about it, took out his mobile phone and started to call the time.
…………
"It feels like here... It's like my grandfather's calligraphy and painting exhibition. ”
Luo Yan was a little disappointed when she walked into the venue, the venue was not as brilliant as Luo Yan imagined, but it also revealed a sense of ancient style.
"Old man, I don't like those bells and whistles very much, this is a gathering of friends."
Lin Wanqiu focused on her sister during the conversation.
"Xiaowan, there are many famous writers among the people who came this time, both at home and abroad... Which one do you want to see first? Lin Wanqiu said as she stuffed her sister with a list of visiting guests.
"Let me think about it." Lin Wanxiang said.
"Then sister will take this senior sister to see Director Xu Qing first, you can take a look here."
Lin Wanqiu didn't forget that she came to Baishanmen this time, she pulled Luo Yan to look for Director Xu Qing in the venue, leaving Lin Wanxiang alone with the list of visiting guests and falling into thought.
Yesterday, when she learned that Qiu Yuan had a cold, Lin Wanxiang went to the infirmary to find Qiu Yuan after class.
But Qiu Yuan was not seen in the infirmary, let alone Qiu Yuan's figure, Shi Fangzheng asked the teacher on duty in the infirmary, and Qiu Yuan had never been to the infirmary at all.
At first, Lin Wanxiang thought that Qiu Yuan was too seriously ill, so she was directly transferred to the hospital.
Fortunately, Shi Fangzheng kept an eye on it, and chatted privately in the class group directly, and Wang Xing asked where Qiuyuan went?
Wang Xing didn't resist the torture of the squad leader, and finally honestly told Shi Fang Zhengqiu that he was pretending to be sick and absent from class.
Shi Fangzheng was so angry that he wanted to pursue Qiu Yuan's behavior, but was finally stopped by Lin Wanxiang.
After Lin Wanxiang stopped her, she suddenly figured it out, she figured out that Qiu Yuan was deliberately avoiding her.
She also figured it out, Qiu Yuan didn't want to see her at all.
This made Lin Wanxiang confused, she felt that she was pursuing Qiuyuan so persistently, which was not the right thing.
She should choose to let go and then focus on her own art, as it is today.
Don't think about him anymore.
Lin Wanxiang picked up the invitation and looked at the names written on it, among which there were some female writers who wrote emotional novels that Lin Wanxiang particularly liked, including Bai Ya.
Maybe she should find someone to enlighten her, untie her knots, and move on.
When Lin Wanxiang was thinking like this, it may be that a woman's intuition came into play, she suddenly raised her head and looked at the venue, but at first glance, she didn't see an acquaintance.
But she quickly remembered something, and turned sideways to look at the most inconspicuous corner of the venue this time.
Sure enough, the Shiba Inu sat lazily on the chair in the corner as usual, playing with his mobile phone.
Why are you here? Lin Wanxiang put down the invitation in her hand.
She really felt at this moment... What if she understood that Qiu Yuan was avoiding her? What if it's irrational to figure out this feeling?
Can't put it down... I just can't let it go.
Unconsciously, Lin Wanxiang had already walked in front of Qiu Yuan, she looked at Qiu Yuan and said softly as usual.
"Hello."
Qiu Yuan suddenly raised his head when he heard this familiar voice, and looked at Lin Wanxiang's faint eyes again.
Every time she was frightened, the woman would stand in front of her and look at her calmly.
This made Qiu Yuan feel like he couldn't run away, but since he couldn't run away...
"Hello." Qiu Yuan spoke.
"Can I sit next to you this time?"
Lin Wanxiang glanced at the chair beside Qiu Yuan, it stands to reason that no one should come here as a corner of the venue.
"For the time being." Qiu Yuan also replied.
