found that Xu Qingdong had been concentrating on his stomach and writing, and he didn't even notice that Cao Zhiqiang had come in, so Cao Zhiqiang coughed deliberately first.

As a result, Cao Zhiqiang coughed three times, but the other party still didn't respond, still shirtless, with a cigarette in his mouth, and he didn't even mean to raise his head.

In desperation, Cao Zhiqiang had no choice but to speak: "Director Xu, it's me! Cao Zhiqiang!"

Xu Qingdong frowned and raised his head slightly.

When he raised his head and saw Cao Zhiqiang and Xiang Dongfang behind him, Xu Qingdong blinked and immediately reacted.

"Well, Cao ......."

As soon as he said this, Xu Qingdong realized something, and hurriedly took down the cigarette in the corner of his mouth, and snuffed it out in the ashtray that squeezed a bunch of cigarette butts, and then quickly stood up: "Oh, President Cao, why are you here?" W-how embarrassing is this?"

Immediately afterwards, Xu Qingdong looked at Xiang Dongfang and hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, I'll go back to the house and change clothes."

"Forget it." Cao Zhiqiang smiled, "It's all big men, I ...... it."

Speaking of this, Cao Zhiqiang was suddenly stunned, turned his head to look at Xiang Dongfang, and instantly understood something.

"Secretary Xiang." Cao Zhiqiang said to her, "You go back first, I'll talk to Director Xu here alone."

Xiang Dongfang smiled slightly: "Why don't I go outside and wait for you."

"No, I don't." Cao Zhiqiang said, "The sun is so hot outside, it's not appropriate for you to wait outside."

"It's okay." Xiang Dongfang said, "I'll just go outside and find a shady place."

Cao Zhiqiang frowned: "That's the case, then you wait for me at the door of this house first."

"Yes." Xiang Dongfang nodded, and then exited the room.

Cao Zhiqiang turned around and said to Xu Qingdong, a somewhat embarrassed shirtless man, "Director Xu, why are you here?"

"Hey." Xu Qingdong smiled, "Isn't that anything, is it clean here, there are no people, I can do whatever I want, shirtless."

It's not like in the director's office, you have to get dressed up, and it's hard to be tired."

"What are you writing about?" Cao Zhiqiang asked again, "So engrossed?"

"Hey, you're right!" Xu Qingdong smiled and patted his slightly bulging belly, "Originally, I was going to look for you, but you just came."

I'm rewriting the script, the same script you gave me last time."

"Rewrite the script?" Cao Zhiqiang frowned, "Isn't the script all written? Why rewrite?"

"Because ......"

"Wait!"

Cao Zhiqiang waved his hand and interrupted Xu Qingdong's words: "Let's not talk about that, Lao Xu, can you go out?" I mean, can I work somewhere else, or do I have to stay here?"

"Yes, why not?" Xu Qingdong said, "I'm a director, and when I don't have a job, I have a very loose management here, so I don't have to stay in Beijing Film Studio."

"That's good." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "Then you get dressed and come with me, bring everything you want to write, and I'll take you to a good place."

"Where are you going?" Xu Qingdong frowned.

"Jianguo Hotel!" Cao Zhiqiang said.

"Jianguo Hotel?" Xu Qingdong was stunned, "Why did you go there?"

"Nonsense." Cao Zhiqiang said, "That's where I live, and it's more comfortable over there than here. At the very least, there is plenty of air conditioning over there, so you don't need a hot bare shoulder.

Although it is very comfortable to be bare-chested, it is ......

Forget it, let's not talk about that, just ask if you want to go.

If you go, just take your things with me, and I'll open a room for you to write well, and we can also talk well.

If I don't go, I'll leave immediately, and I won't stay.

I'm going to die, you're too hot, like a steamer, I can't stand it."

"Wait!" Seeing Cao Zhiqiang about to leave, Xu Qingdong hurriedly said, "Go, who said no? However, this is not the ...... for lunch."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "

I'll invite you, three meals a day, okay?"

"Hey, hey! You said it earlier!" Xu Qingdong smiled, "If you say so, then whoever doesn't go will be the grandson."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled and shook his head: "You, you, it's not over if you say this earlier, hurry up, change your clothes, turn around and get to the place, I'll tell you some good news."

"That's it!" Xu Qingdong smiled and nodded, "I also have good news, when we get to the ground, let's talk to each other, hahaha."

In this way, since there were only two men in the room, Cao Zhiqiang and Xu Qingdong, Xu Qingdong was not reserved, and directly put on leather sandals, and then found a gray short-sleeved shirt to wear.

After that, Xu Qingdong found a leather bag, put the manuscript paper and ballpoint pen on the table into it, turned off the electric fan, and then put a bag in his arm, and said to Cao Zhiqiang excitedly: "Let's go, my master?"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled, turned around and left the room, and found that Xiang Dongfang was really standing under the eaves at the door and waiting.

At this time, the outside of the house was also very sunburned, and after just a while, Xiang Dongfang's forehead was sweaty, and even his chest was wet.

But don't say it, this kind of sweaty Xiang Dongfang has a unique attraction, which makes Cao Zhiqiang can't help but swallow his saliva.

Well, it's just hot, a little dry mouth.

"President." Xiang Dongfang immediately laughed, "You came out?"

"Ahem!" Cao Zhiqiang cleared his throat, "Hmm."

Immediately afterwards, finding that Xu Qingdong had also come out, Cao Zhiqiang hurriedly put on a straight face and said, "That's the case, it's too hot this day, we are going to the Jianguo Hotel and talk slowly where I live, you ...... Do you want to be together?"

"Okay." Xiang Dongfang smiled, "I'm your secretary, I'll go wherever the president goes."

Cao Zhiqiang nodded, turned back to Xu Qingdong and said, "Let's go, Old Xu."

After that, the group came to the car in front of the office building and got into the car together.

This time, it was Cao Zhiqiang in the cab, Xu Qingdong in the co-pilot, and Xiang Dongfang in the back.

Sitting like this is convenient for Cao Zhiqiang to chat with Xu Qingdong, and then the air conditioning in the cab and the passenger seat is relatively sufficient, and Xu Qingdong is particularly afraid of heat.

That's right, the car is air-conditioned, which is a relatively rare configuration in these days.

After the car started and the air conditioner was blown, Cao Zhiqiang asked while driving, "Lao Xu, what is the good news you said?" Also, don't call me President Cao, just call me Xiao Cao."

"President Cao......"

"Hey!"

Cao Zhiqiang interrupted Xu Qingdong's words: "Didn't you say it just now, let's not come to this set in private, I call you Lao Xu, you can call me Xiao Cao."

Xu Qingdong smiled: "Okay, Xiao Cao."

"That's right." Cao Zhiqiang smiled.

Xu Qingdong smiled again and said, "That's Xiao Cao, didn't you say before that you didn't plan to make movies in your private name, and you wanted to find a film studio to be affiliated with?" I found it for you."

"Oh?" Cao Zhiqiang turned his head to look at Xu Qingdong, and then continued to stare ahead, "Which factory are you looking for?"

"Does the Youth Film Studio know?" Xu Qingdong asked.

"Youth Film Studio?" Cao Zhiqiang smiled, "You don't mean that the youth film studio affiliated to Nortel Academy is here, right?"

"Yes, that's it!" Xu Qingdong smiled and said, "I took the script to the relevant person in charge of Nortel Youth Film Factory, and they said that the script was good, there was no problem, if it was our own funds and equipment, we could attach it to their unit for filming, and we could also use their name to apply for release after filming, but ......."

"But what?" Cao Zhiqiang asked.

Xu Qingdong said: "However, they demand that film actors should try to use their Nortel students or teachers, and in terms of scripts, they feel that they are too thin, there are too few conflicts, and they demand a little thicker, especially a little history and reality."

Cao Zhiqiang frowned: "The one in front of me who asked Nortel teachers and students to participate in the performance is okay, but that script is too thin, what does it refer to?"

」

Xu Qingdong said: "It's just that people say, the theme of this script is good, the conflict between teachers and students is very funny and impactful, but the open-ended ending in the end is not very good, it is best to have a happy ending where lovers finally become a family."

"Huh?" Cao Zhiqiang frowned and said, "That person really said that?"

"That's what I said." Xu Qingdong nodded.

Cao Zhiqiang pouted: "Isn't this? The essence of this story lies in the balance between desire and restraint, in the bondage of reality and the conflict of emotions, and in the rationality of that dream.

To be more precise, two people who have loved but can't be together is actually the most reasonable and touching part.

If the two really have lovers and end up in the volume, it is unreasonable.

Let me ask you, the male protagonist is only sixteen years old, can he marry a twenty-six-year-old female teacher?

And in the ending, the female teacher is going to resign and leave that school and go to live in another city.

Can the male protagonist abandon his younger siblings and elope with a female teacher who is ten years older than him?"

"Obviously not." Xu Qingdong shook his head.

"Isn't that it?" Cao Zhiqiang shrugged, then sighed.

"My story, don't look at how beautiful the process is, how it heals, how it goes both ways, but in the final analysis, this is a forbidden love.

Since it is a taboo, then respect the taboo and don't try to break the taboo at every turn.

In other words, we can think about why there is such a taboo, but it does not mean that the taboo must be wrong and must be broken.

Don't mention anything else, let's just say that this teacher-student love.

In the movie, we can use this as a gimmick to stimulate everyone's hormones.

But in reality, if there is a teacher-student relationship around us, what will you think?

Or, if you have a child and your child's teacher is in a relationship with a student, can you trust the teacher to continue educating your child?"

"Nope!" Xu Qingdong shook his head, "I may not object to other people's teacher-student love, but if one of the teachers and students in this teacher-student relationship is my child's teacher, then I will definitely feel uncomfortable."

"That's right!" Cao Zhiqiang continued to drive and said, "Lao Xu, you are an adult, and you have experienced more things, then you should understand that although this story is very beautiful, under the beauty is actually a cruel reality.

The female teacher in the movie is twenty-six years old, an adult, and her thinking is more mature.

And at her age, it's just the time to talk about marriage.

In this society, if she doesn't get married at this age, it will be difficult to find a partner when she is older, and physiologically speaking, it will also have an impact on fertility.

It can be said that according to the current understanding of the general public, if you calm down, you will hope that the female teacher in the movie should do a good job, and then find a reliable man to marry and form a normal family, instead of falling in love with students.

As for the male protagonist in the movie, he is only sixteen years old, still a minor, and he is ignorant of everything.

Especially love, what does a child at this age know about love? They're more of a desire dominated by hormones.

Of course, the male protagonist here is not only hormonal, but also because of the family environment, there is a desire to be healed, a desire to be understood, and to be able to have someone who can snuggle up to each other and warm each other.

But no matter what, the real dilemma lies there.

If the actor wants to get married, according to my country's marriage law, he must wait at least until he is twenty-two years old.

In between, he's going to have to wait at least six years!

Six years later, the heroine will be thirty-two years old.

During the past six years, if the heroine is just waiting for him, how much blame and trouble will she suffer, will the hero know? Can you understand?

And after six years, who can be sure that each other will not change their hearts?"

"I don't think that's a problem." Xu Qingdong said, "If it's true love, it's just six years, and it's gone by in a flash. Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu, phase

It's fine for sixteen years, let alone six years."

"Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu?" Cao Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked at Xu Qingdong, "Heh, have you also seen Jin Yong's withered heroes?"

"Hey, hey." Xu Qingdong smiled, "Don't look down on people, Mr. Jin Yong's, I've seen almost all of them, and I've seen them at least twenty times."

Cao Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.

Also, let's not mention Xu Qingdong's background, let's talk about Xu Qingdong's identity as a director, and if you want to get some Jin Yong, it's not difficult.

After all, although Jin Yong is not as popular as he was later, in fact, some pirated versions, especially the traditional Chinese version, have long been popular in the domestic circle.

Xu Qingdong is also in the cultural circle, and it is normal to see Jin Yong's martial arts.

Jin Yong's is not *** now, even the chief likes to watch it, let alone Xu Qingdong.

"That's right, their love may be stronger and more unwavering than gold." Cao Zhiqiang nodded.

"But don't you think it's a bit of a stretch to force a happy ending with us six years later?

A movie is not a TV series, and you don't need to add everything to it, what you need is the essence part.

And this kind of ending with the scene of the female teacher leaving, this kind of open ending, don't you think it's better?

When the time comes, if you are an optimist and want them to be together, make up for them to see each other in six years.

If you are a pessimist, you think that they will not be able to be together in six years.

Isn't that satisfying everybody?"

"It's just that it's not a good feeling to be unhappy." Xu Qingdong said, "People say that it is better to have a good ending, and it is better to enrich the background.

For example, isn't it a friendship between China and Japan now?

People said that it would be best to add a Chinese-Japanese background to this teacher.

For example, this teacher's grandfather can be a soldier of the Eighth Route Army in my country, and my grandmother is a Japanese nurse who stayed in China, and then they came together because of love, and even if they have suffered hardships, they have always been friendly to our country, firmly believe in the country, firmly believe in the party, and have always believed in Sino-Japanese friendship.

At the same time, it also shows some of our people's friendship towards Chinese-Japanese mixed-race people, which makes us more atmospheric and more in line with the main theme of Sino-Japanese friendship."

Hearing this, Cao Zhiqiang was speechless for a while, if he wasn't still driving, he would have to scold his mother.

It's just a simple romance movie, why does everything have the main theme? Do you want that?

Sure enough, it was right not to ask for help.

I still have my own film studio, and I am in charge of my territory, which is the real freedom!
