Chapter 2: Charlotte's Troubles
Each rode a second-hand bicycle, and the speechless Meng Xiyang led the way in front of him, bringing Zhou Yi back to the "Tongbao Neighborhood" half a station away.
This is an urban village that is about to be transformed.
The weather is slightly cool, and under the bright moon in early autumn, the low houses, narrow deep alleys, dim street lamps, millennial wall paintings, dog barking in the distance, insects chirping in the near distance, and tinkling car bells slowly connect the fragments of time.
Zhou Yi's memory brightened up - he and Meng Xiyang rented a room in each of the two adjacent families, both rooms were on the second floor, window to window, separated by an alley more than one meter wide.
When you open the old-fashioned wooden windows, you can see each other's lives.
The window-to-window years are full of youthful and vague ambiguity.
It's a pity that the drama club went out of business later, and they went their separate ways.
"I remember, we were neighbors, window to window."
"Huh", Meng Xiyang glanced at him, "Inexplicable!" ”
"Hehe......" Zhou Yi, who couldn't explain it, smiled awkwardly.
Each of them went into a small courtyard, and each of them went back to his room.
Looking at this cramped, shabby room, with neither a computer nor a TV, Zhou Yi had the feeling of looking through old photos and reminiscing about his youth.
He was inexplicably excited, obviously poor and white, with nothing, but it was as if he had the whole world.
In the opposite window, Meng Xiyang's figure was full of shadows.
Zhou Yi opened the window, picked up a broom and leaned out to smash Meng Sunset's window.
Meng Xiyang pushed the window open: "What's the matter?" ”
Meng Xiyang has changed into pajamas, and she has a charm in addition to being beautiful.
"It's okay", Zhou Yi bared his teeth and smiled, "I just want to say goodnight to you." ”
"Hehe, good night." Meng Xiyang closed the window, and once again felt that today's Zhou Yi was abnormal and nervous.
"Knock knock", Zhou Yi smashed her window again.
"What?" Meng Xiyang asked fiercely.
"It's okay, I just wanted to say, your pajamas are beautiful."
"Did you take the wrong medicine?"
As soon as the window was closed, Zhou Yi "knocked knock" and pounded again.
"Zhou Yi, what kind of nerves are you having, is there anything wrong with you?"
Zhou Yi pointed to the moon in the sky, "I suddenly feel that the moonlight is very beautiful, under the moonlight, two windows, two people, window to window, face to face, how poetic, right?" ”
Meng Xiyang snorted: "I forgot about your 'Zuo Zuo' so quickly." ”
"Oh? Left left left ...... "I'll go, and another memory is activated."
Left and left, a nostalgic name, soaked with the hormonal memories of the upside-down phoenix.
In a daze, the window on the opposite side closed again.
Cut, it's all in the past, Meng Xiyang is still jealous.
……
The next day, Zhou Yi woke up suddenly at 6 o'clock in the morning, and it was still that cramped and simple room, with neither a TV nor a computer.
Good! This shows that being born again is not a dream.
I'm really afraid that when I wake up, I will go back to the years when my youth was gone and my body was hollowed out.
Compared with the wealth of success but like a rotten wood, Zhou Yi cares more about the impoverished but energetic young body.
opened the window, picked up the broom at the head of the bed, leaned over and smashed the window opposite: "Meng Xiyang, get up and struggle." ”
The window didn't open, and the pillow flew up and smashed on the window, and Meng Xiyang expressed his anger at being disturbed by Qingmeng.
……
At 7 o'clock, Zhou Yi and Meng Xiyang came to the Pioneer Drama Club, eating a set of pancakes and fruits.
Zhou Yi turned on the computer and continued the creation of "Charlotte's Troubles". From morning till night, I wrote all the time.
Meng Xiyang sat next to him and watched, and the more he watched, the more interesting it became.
Zhou Yi occasionally stood up to perform, making Meng Xiyang laugh so hard that he couldn't help laughing.
"You're so talented, why didn't you see it before?"
"Pregnancy is like pregnancy, fainting once, sleeping and getting pregnant."
"What a mess."
……
said that he would come up with the script in three days, and Zhou Yi completed the main creation at 12 o'clock that night, with a total of more than 20,000 words.
He was satisfied. In the last life, the movie version of "Charlotte's Troubles" earned 1.4 billion box office, can I also earn back 1.4 billion in this life?
I'm afraid not. The box office of movies is inseparable from the level of economic development. At present, the total box office of the Chinese mainland film market is only six or seven billion.
Chinese audiences are also accustomed to watching Feng's Chinese New Year, Jackie Chan's harmonics, and Xingye's nonsense through VCD.
The next few years will be exciting for American blockbusters.
However, good works can get through the times. Zhou Yi believes that even if "Charlotte's Troubles" is born prematurely, it will definitely be the starting point of his career.
Zhou Yi sent the electronic draft of the script to the mailbox of the boss Mi Xinghe, and sent a message: "The script is completed, send it to the mailbox, welcome to read it." If something I think is bad, I will point it out, but I won't listen anyway. ”
It was already 1 a.m.
After a while, Mi Xinghe replied: "Damn, Lao Tzu has insomnia, it's easy to fall asleep, you woke up Lao Tzu!" ”
Zhou Yi replied with a smile: "Then get up and pee by the way." ”
At three o'clock in the morning, Zhou Yi was sleeping here, and Mi Xinghe called, quite excited, and praised the script: "Zhou Yi, the script is amazing, it's like watching a sketch from the Spring Festival Gala." I've decided, tomorrow you will accompany me to pull investment! ”
Zhou Yi was "sleepy" and dreamed of death: "Boss, whether you invest or not, it is easy for Lao Tzu to fall asleep after a tired day, and you have disturbed it." ”
Mi Xinghe laughed: "You can also get up and pee by the way." ”
……
In the conference room of the drama club, Mi Xinghe took the cast and crew to read Zhou Yi's script, generally with doubts and distrust.
In fact, many people can't read the script.
Watching a movie or a drama is like eating dumplings, good is delicious, and bad is not delicious.
Reading the script is different, ordinary people reading the script is like watching a bundle of leeks, half a catty of eggs and two catties of flour in isolation, and they can't see the taste, let alone the pleasure.
Even if you are a professional actor, you may not be able to see its value and market prospects.
A: "I have a question, I wrote more than 20,000 words in two days, I can't copy it somewhere, right?"
Zhou Yi: "What is it to write 20,000 words in two days, in the future, I will have the opportunity to introduce a group of hard-working Internet writers to you, and if you can't write 10,000 words a day, he is embarrassed to say that it is codeword." ”
B: "I have a question, why did you get this incomprehensible Charlotte Troubles?" Change the name, right? ”
Zhou Yi: "Your opinion is very good, don't change it!" ”
"Damn!"
C: "I have a question, the theme of rebirth is still a new thing, should I add some scientific explanation?"
Zhou Yi: "What you said is very reasonable, don't add it!" ”
D: "I have a question, there are obviously too many space changes in this play, which is completely inconsistent with the 'three-in-one' of the stage play!"
Zhou Yi: "After listening to so much, count you as knowledgeable!" But did you know that the Trinity Law was proposed in 1554, and 1554 is equivalent to the Ming Dynasty. Would you let a Ming Dynasty guide your life? Nowadays, all the works that meet the 'Trinity Law' are discharged, which one is not a loss of pants? ”
"Oh yes."
E: "I have a question, although I like this story very much, but the drama club has no money, what should I do?" ”
Everyone's eyes shifted from Zhou Yi's face to Mi Xinghe's.
Mi Xinghe smiled faintly: "Don't worry, I have already contacted a rich woman who is a coal boss, and I will go to invest in the afternoon." ”
