September 18.

Morning.

The storm is finally a lot smaller.

But the light rain outside the window still beat the eaves, making a noise.

An Xiao has actually always advocated going to bed early.

But......

I don't know if it's because the rain is too loud tonight, or because I'm a little bored in my heart, I can't sleep, so I close my eyes and think of this afternoon's meeting.

At present, Chinese films are in a golden age of vigorous development, and anyone can foresee the prosperity of this industry in five or ten years......

But at the same time, Chinese films are shrouded in the haze of the old order, and all kinds of forces are deeply rooted like iron buckets, and it is difficult to establish a new order.

The only way to do this is to break everything and create a new order, but how hard is it to really break it?

"We don't mean to target anyone, Deputy An, I hope you can understand that many of us have witnessed the slow rise of Chinese films from the end of the world and are in line with international standards, and we have also witnessed "Overlord" rushing to Cannes and amazed the world...... Everyone in this room has had their own peak era, but some are longer, some are shorter...... We just want to eat together, and this kind of thing is really unauthentic. ”

"Yes, we are just chatting openly and honestly today, and it is also my heartfelt words, the younger generation of directors still need to be honed, they are not formal, how can you let us rest assured that this industry will be handed over to some hairy boys? Although they look good at the box office now and can take responsibility, but as Cao Bangguo Cao Dao said, everyone here used to be very powerful......"

""Overlord" is put to today, I can say that there is no problem with the box office exceeding 700 million, and compared to honor, the stills of "Overlord" are hanging at the door of the Cannes Film Festival, this is the pride of Chinese people, Deputy An, you are too young, you are too impatient to do things, and you misunderstood us, we did not mean to cover the sky with one hand on this piece, we just feel that this industry is indispensable to us......"

"Yes, Director Chen is right, we know the relationship between you and Zhou Yang, but I take the liberty of saying a few words that may not be good, Zhou Yang is really powerful, but now he can't support this industry at all, we have dealt with Hollywood Movies over the years, we know very well that if Zhou Yang didn't rely on all kinds of hype, how much would his movie box office? "Infernal Affairs" 700 million? Deputy An, do you believe it? ”

"That's right! We don't demand much, we just want to be treated fairly, and we're all on the same starting line......"

“……”

It was noisy in the conference room.

A lot of the older generation of directors came.

Cao Bangguo, Shen Jinsong, Chen Kai, including President Feng Minrui and others came.

At the meeting, gossip voices swirled in the air, and everyone had an unwilling and wronged expression on their faces, if they didn't know the inside story, An Xiao really felt that he was doing something like unloading the mill and killing the donkey, and the cunning rabbit and killing the lackey.

In the face of "forcing the palace", An Xiao naturally couldn't compromise, just looked at them coldly, let these people reverse black and white, and finally didn't make any changes to the rules.

The meeting ended unhappily, and after the unhappy disbandment, An Xiao received a call from the old leader.

The old leader's voice on the phone was very gentle, but he persuaded An Xiao with a little seriousness.

The content of persuading An Xiao is similar to that of Xu Kangnian, all of which are similar to "Xu Xu Tuzhi", "Don't be capricious", "It will affect your career", "It's easy to make this year's goal steadily".

After listening to these words, An Xiao finally responded simply a few words, and then hung up the phone.

On the way back, she felt an unprecedented sense of loneliness, as if she was slowly moving forward in the wind and rain alone.

When passing by Zhou Yang's company, seeing Zhou Yang coming down, An Xiao's sense of loneliness in his heart was much less, especially when Zhou Yang said "They strike, let them stop, see who can have the last laugh in the end...", A nerve in An Xiao's heart was touched, and he was instantly moved.

Even though she knew that these words were just to comfort her and cheer her up.

But I still feel extra warm in my heart.

Two years ago......

The young and humble young man, full of pride at this moment, handed himself an umbrella in the wind and rain, and followed him to face the wind and rain.

Moreover, she knew that this young man would always stand with her in the future, support her in every way, and do her best, and never complained.

The sound of wind and rain outside the window seemed to be a little less.

When An Xiao thought of this, her originally somewhat annoying mood was comforted a little, she walked out of the house, ready to drink saliva and lie down on the bed to sleep, but found that the light in the study downstairs had been on.

She put on a dressing gown and walked lightly downstairs, stopping when she reached the door.

Faintly, she heard the keyboard crackling......

She subconsciously glanced at Zhou Yang's room, but saw that Zhou Yang's room was open.

She stood at the door, stopped for a long time, and the complex emotions in her heart rose all of a sudden, and in that instant, she felt her heart poke slightly, and her nose was extremely sour, and it was uncomfortable.

He really stayed up late writing a book!

At this moment, she suddenly heard the keyboard stop, and then the door opened in an instant, and then ......

"An Xiao? It's so late and you haven't slept yet? ”

"I'll come down and drink saliva, you...... Why didn't you sleep? ”

"When I came back, I chatted with Director Huang on the phone, and then I wanted to finish the book of "Grandmaster 2: Top Gun", and it was just a few words, and now I am almost done with it......"

“……”

An Xiao shuddered suddenly, and the mixed emotions in her heart surged out, especially when she looked at the dark circles and a little tiredness on Zhou Yang's face, a thousand words in her heart were choked in her throat at once, and after a while, she only felt that her eyes were slightly moist: "I'm sorry......"

"Mr. An, you, are you okay?"

Outside the house, the wind and rain were loud.

Inside the house, Zhou Yang saw An Xiao's eyes reddened for the first time, and he was panicked, but he stretched out his hand but was stunned on the spot, not knowing how to comfort An Xiao......

He had known An Xiao for so long, and it was the first time he had seen An Xiao like this.

He took a long time from his pocket before pulling out a few crumpled napkins.

"No, it's okay, I'm sorry, maybe, I'm too willful......" An Xiao didn't dislike the napkin, and after taking it, he wiped it on his face.

"Mr. An, what are you talking about, what kind of willfulness, you have always been good......" Zhou Yang read so many love books, but his brain suddenly encountered this situation, and his brain suddenly went down.

A voice in his heart reminded him that when a girl is like this, he must hug her and hug her fiercely, this is when she is the weakest.

But after stretching out his hand for a long time, he finally felt that it was not suitable again.

"Rest well, don't worry about this anymore......"

"I thought of a few notebooks, and I wrote the outline and fell asleep...... An hour or two at most! ”

"Then ......" An Xiao hesitated after looking at Zhou Yang's determined appearance: "I'll watch it with you!" ”

"I'm not used to this, so let's go to sleep first."

"Well, then...... I'll be waiting for you outside, and you'll be sure to sleep in two hours! If you don't sleep, I won't sleep. ”

"This ......"

…………………………………

People live in this world, and they are mostly busy.

From the time I was born, I was busy crying, and after I died, I was desperately busy opening my eyes, hoping to see more of the world.

Zhou Yang does not have any ambitious ambitions, let alone want to leave something in this world, or even a work that will be remembered for centuries.

This world is familiar to him, but it is also unfamiliar, sometimes he feels a big dream, I don't know when, I wake up, I find that I do not belong to this world and return to the original world.

But An Xiao's appearance gave Zhou Yang a sense of belonging and longing.

She pulled him out of the mud, like a ray of light, and it made him feel extremely warm and real.

So, he cherishes everything.

The night storm finally stopped.

Zhou Yang, who was asleep, felt very warm, and then couldn't help hugging him, feeling a slightly stiff body and then gradually becoming weak, like a pillow.

The sun shone on the window, bringing a sense of mildness, and a gust of wind blew, which was exceptionally cool.

Autumn has arrived.

Zhou Yang opened his eyes and found himself lying alone on the edge of the bed in the study......

Writing in front of the computer in the early morning, he only felt extremely tired, and then thought about squinting for a while, and then squinted, and squinted until the morning.

After Zhou Yang got up, he saw a few long hairs, and he unconsciously let his imagination flow.

Habitually turn on your phone.

[I went to work, breakfast is downstairs]

[I took a look at the script a little, and I took a few photos of the sample of "Grandmaster 2", and I reviewed it first. 】

After reading the text message, Zhou Yang felt that he was cold, and then found that his shirt was off.

The pants are still in good condition, though.

"Did Anxiao sleep with me last night?"

This thought came to his mind, and he suddenly was stupid, and then subconsciously stood up again, hurriedly dressed, looked at the three script outlines on his computer, and was relieved to see that the script outline was still in good condition.

Then he hung up the script of "Grandmaster 2 Top Gun" on the printer, and while printing, he went downstairs to eat.

More than an hour later.

At around half past nine, Zhou Yang received a call from Huang Jiacheng.

After making an appointment with the time and place, Zhou Yang took the script and walked towards the company.

On the way, Zhou Yang called Wang Shuai again......

After Wang Shuai received the call, he did not hesitate to speak.

"Infernal Affairs 2 is ready to start filming?"

"There are other books."

"What book?"

"Well, Director Wang, let's go to the conference room to talk."

"Oh, okay, by the way, I'm with Shen Changwei, if it's convenient, bring him with you?"

"Good!"
