Chapter 57: Scared into a cold sweat
Seeing that Ren Shuai did not continue to surround him, Zhou Xian smiled and walked over.
"Teacher Li, are you free, please have a little wine."
Ren Shuai saw that Zhou Yi was so active in asking him out, so he nodded and agreed: "Okay, let's drink tea." ”
He felt that it was time for him to pay attention to his health, and he was helpless.
Zhou Yi smiled and nodded in agreement, knowing that the old artists either liked to drink wine or tea.
The two found an elegantly decorated teahouse nearby and sat in a small cubicle by the window.
Zhou Xi didn't have too many greetings, and said straight to the point: "Mr. Li, the work I just wrote, there is a role that is very suitable for you, it is a short story, if you shoot a movie, I want to make an appointment with you in advance." ”
Ren Shuai knew that the acting skills given by the system were very good, but the acting skills of actors of his age were good, and he was very curious about the reason why Zhou Xi chose him.
"Why did you choose me?" Ren Shuai asked.
Zhou Yi replied: "That's right, my book is different from previous urban themes, there are some surreal elements, one of the scenes is the male protagonist enters a dream and finds that he is dying, but his soul is still a young man. ”
When Ren Shuai heard this, his heart burst out, and a cold sweat broke out behind his back.
I'm afraid that this Zhou Yi didn't see through his identity and come to test it?
Otherwise, how can there be such a coincidence, but such a role is played by himself.
Zhou Xi saw that Mr. Li's face suddenly looked ugly, and he didn't know what he said wrong, so he quickly explained: "Mr. Li, I see that you are different from other peers, not only the precipitation of the years in your eyes, but also the vitality and vitality unique to young people, this trait is very rare, and it is very suitable for playing the role in my book." ”
Ren Shuai was almost half scared to death, thinking that his secret had been discovered and was going to be taken away for research, but it turned out to be the reason for his eyes.
A false alarm.
He slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, and then wondered: "What kind of story is it, can you tell it?" ”
Zhou Xian's face was embarrassed, and he thought for a while: "This is not the final draft, and the content has not been publicly announced, why don't I tell you the general plot and clips?" ”
Of course, you can't say that it hasn't been published publicly, otherwise once it is leaked out and plagiarized, there will be a dispute over copyright.
Writers pay attention to this.
Ren Shuai expressed understanding.
"Well, you don't need to go into too much detail, you can just talk about it."
Zhou Yi put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Thank you for your understanding, the story happened to a rebellious rich second generation, his joy in life is to spend money and have fun, but the elders in the family hope that he can learn and forge ahead, so there is a conflict, and he is cut off from financial resources."
The rich second generation ran away from home, lived at a friend's house, and spent all day loitering, thinking about living a life of eating and waiting for death every day. ”
Ren Shuai sighed when he heard this.
Although the rich second generation wants to eat and wait for death, he wants to retire early to enjoy life.
But the truth is pretty much the same, it's just that I didn't want to work hard when I was young.
However, Ren Shuai now realizes that if you don't go to work when you are young, you have to go to work after retirement, if you don't work when you are young, you have to work after retirement, and if you don't make money when you are young, you have to make money after retirement.
It's just the difference between morning and evening.
Alas, you look at Li Laifu, he couldn't be an actor when he was young, but he became an actor when he retired.
Ren Shuai was only glad that he still had a system to rely on.
Zhou Yi took a sip of tea, moistened his throat and continued: "Until one day, his family's business collapsed, and his parents were imprisoned for economic crimes, but he still did not have the consciousness to shoulder the burden of the family, sinking day by day, borrowing money everywhere to live, and finally becoming a street gangster who collects protection money. ”
"One day he fell in love with a girl, and after the two were together, he thought he would change, until the girl couldn't stand him and proposed to break up, he cried a lot, but nothing changed."
"No one around him has been persuaded anymore, and he is sure that he will not change for the rest of his life."
Ren Shuai thought to himself how to be the protagonist of this kind of character, it was too unpopular.
Zhou Yi saw the change in Ren Shuai's expression, and smiled with satisfaction: "Do you think this protagonist is very annoying?" ”
Ren Shuai nodded without hesitation.
"That's right, this script is an experiment of mine, and I want to write about a person who is so disappointed, who is given the opportunity to repent again and again, but never catches it."
Zhou Xi introduced excitedly.
Ren Shuai couldn't help but be curious: "Then what is your purpose in writing this script?" Are you going to let him have a dream and repent of it? ”
Zhou Yi shook his head with a smile and said: "That's not it, I just want to explore people's hearts, whether only the feeling of personal experience is profound, sometimes how strong the external stimulation is, it is not as good as feeling it yourself, or it is really easy to change the nature of the country." ”
"But I can't really write about the rich second generation getting old, so I can only use surreal techniques to let him experience a very realistic dream, let him grow old, experience the end of his life, and see if there will be any changes."
Ren Shuai thought that there must be changes, such as himself.
Especially when I know that I will never go back when I am young, I will live more seriously, work harder, and know how to cherish more.
Zhou Yi refilled Ren Shuai with a cup of tea, looked at his thoughtful appearance, and said with a smile: "In my dream, the rich second generation has become an old man in his seventies, but the world has not changed, the others are still the same age, only he has grown old overnight, and no one knows him." ”
"At the same time, he also met his younger self, another self."
When Ren Shuai heard this, he suddenly became a little interested.
If a person is a third party and watches his own life, he really doesn't know what it's like.
When you see your decadent appearance, will you be touched, and will you have enough motivation to change?
Zhou Yi didn't introduce the plot anymore when he said this, but picked up the tea with a smile and took a sip.
He deliberately stopped here, hoping to arouse Ren Shuai's interest.
The older artists he had met often chose roles based on personal interests.
If this role can arouse Mr. Li's interest, he should agree to play it, Zhou thought.
"When will it be filmed?" Ren Shuai asked.
Zhou Yi was secretly happy, and Mr. Li's question proved that he had become interested and intended to act.
It's so difficult to meet an actor like Mr. Li who is both old and juvenile.
Must be caught.
"I have already started to contact familiar partners, and they have also said that the project will be established soon, and I hope to start filming this year." Zhou Xian is confident.
Ren Shuai thought to himself that he would only retire at the end of the year, and he would have to take annual leave to start filming within the year, and he didn't know if it was enough.
It's more reliable to ask the salary.
