A new day has arrived, another sunny day.
But the summer sun seems to be unflattering and always makes people feel restless.
At eight or nine o'clock in the morning, you can feel the heat wave in the air.
Beijing.
Bright Entertainment Company, President's Office.
The air conditioner in the office blows cool breeze, which is in sharp contrast with the temperature outside.
Tan Yue stared at the computer screen, his hands typing on the keyboard with great concentration.
After arriving at the company early in the morning, he sat in front of the computer and started writing the script for "Infernal Affairs".
"Infernal Affairs" is a classic movie in Tan Yue's heart, and the plot is particularly clear in his mind. So far, everything is going smoothly.
As a director, Tan Yue has to transform these words into pictures, and he needs to add a lot of things into them.
For example, whether the lens is a long shot or a close shot, the pictures taken are different, and the things to be expressed will naturally be different.
These things need to be written in the script.
Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.
Tan Yue picked up the cup at hand and drank water, looking at the computer, wondering whether "Infernal Affairs" would be liked by the audience.
The movie "Infernal Affairs" has similar missions to those on Earth.
One is to save the sketch film market, and the other is to save the Hong Kong film market.
Tan Yue has already reviewed the development of police and gangster films in this world.
Police and gangster films reached their peak after martial arts action films fell into disrepair.
At that time, a large number of directors of martial arts action films transitioned to police and gangster films, which led to the rapid rise of police and gangster films in a short period of time, and many high-quality films appeared.
Of course, there are also big drawbacks. The emergence of a large number of police and gangster films will soon cause the audience to become aesthetically fatigued.
In the past five or six years, police and gangster films have begun to decline, and are now classified as sketch films.
"Infernal Affairs" saved Hong Kong films on earth, and Tan Yue certainly hopes that through this film, audiences around the world will fall in love with this kind of film again.
After a short break, Tan Yue once again devoted himself to the script.
Until there was a knock on the office door.
Chen Ziyu opened the door and came in: "Ayue, let's go have lunch."
Before I knew it, it was noon.
"Okay!" After Tan Yue saved the script of "Infernal Affairs", his computer was put into sleep mode.
All confidentiality measures are necessary before the movie is released.
Tan Yue stood up from the chair, raised his arms high, and stretched his body. The pain in his shoulders and back was relieved a lot.
"Pay more attention to rest." Chen Ziyu has said this sentence countless times, but every time he sees Tan Yue working so hard, he still can't help but nag a few words.
Tan Yue drank the remaining half glass of water in one gulp: "It's okay, I just sat for a long time. I just need to stand up and move around."
I came to the company restaurant and simply ordered two dishes and staple food.
Chen Ziyu picked up a piece of chicken leg and put it in Tan Yue's bowl: "Eat more."
Tan Yue gnawed on the chicken leg, and Chen Ziyu asked: "How is the new movie?"
"Everything is going very smoothly. Give me a few more days and the script for "Infernal Affairs" will be completed."
Although he knew that Tan Yue would complete a new script in a very short time every time, Chen Ziyu was a little surprised when he heard this sentence.
After all, it is a story, and just conceiving the plot is not a task that can be completed in a short time.
This time I just finished writing the script for "Nirvana in Fire" and started writing "Infernal Affairs" without even taking a break.
Moreover, these two scripts are completely different from each other, and the average person's brain may not have realized it yet.
Seeing that Tan Yue was eating so deliciously, Chen Ziyu felt distressed as he held the food for Tan Yue.
After lunch, the two returned to the office.
Chen Ziyu hung up the phone, looked at Tan Yue and said, "Ayue, a new batch of fitness equipment has arrived in the company gym. I have time to exercise."
As the scale of the Bright Entertainment Company continues to expand, the previous fitness equipment is somewhat insufficient. A few days ago, Chen Ziyu asked the logistics department to buy another batch.
They spend most of their time sitting in front of the computer. Once the time is prolonged, it is normal to experience some back pain.
After Cuican Entertainment moved into this building, Chen Ziyu specially transformed a place into a gym in the hope that employees could exercise more.
Sitting in front of the computer all the time can also easily make the brain slow down. Exercise can keep the brain active.
"You really need to exercise more." Tan Yue thought of the back pain he had suffered from time to time recently and came to the computer to prepare for work.
Chen Ziyu stopped her: "You can't continue writing. Let's take a lunch break first and calm down before writing."
Tan Yue wanted to refuse, but seeing Chen Ziyu looking a little unhappy, he held up his hand and compromised: "It's up to you, I'll take a lunch break now."
Chen Ziyu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "You go to bed, I will go back to the office first."
"Go to bed quickly."
Watching Chen Ziyu leave, Tan Yue had a smile on his face. Since he started writing the script of "Nirvana in Fire", he hasn't had a lunch break for a while.
"I'm really sleepy." Tan Yue put on the massager and lay on the sofa to take a lunch break.
Whether it was a TV series script or a movie script, I was not particularly anxious, but after he started writing, Tan Yue wanted to finish it as soon as possible.
Thinking about the past few days, I have been writing scripts during the day and writing scripts at night. I was really a little tired, and I fell asleep not long after lying down.
'Didi-di-di, di-di-di'.
The alarm clock on the phone next to my ear rang.
Tan Yue opened his eyes vaguely, turned off the alarm clock, lay down for a few more minutes, sat up from the sofa, made himself a cup of tea, and came to the window.
He dragged his chin with his right hand, not knowing where to look in a daze.
"I haven't slept so deeply during my lunch break for a long time." Tan Yue shook his head to wake himself up.
If there was no alarm clock set to wake him up, Tan Yue felt that he could sleep until night.
"Dong dong dong."
Hearing the knock on the door, Tan Yue felt a lot more awake: "Please come in."
"Mr. Tan, here are some documents that you need to take a look at." Chen Ye came in with several documents.
"Put it on the table first. I'll deal with it later." Tan Yue came to the computer and sat down.
"Okay." Chen Ye put down the documents, closed the door and left the office.
Tan Yue took a sip of tea carefully. The rich flavor of tea made his mind clearer.
Opening the document that Chen Ye had just sent, Tan Yue looked at it seriously.
It was precisely the matter of the movie script that he was not in a hurry. He basically dealt with the documents in his hand first.
The first document was submitted by the public relations department, which mainly focused on some recent online discussions about the company's artists.
As long as the matters are not particularly important, they will be reported to Tan Yue in the form of documents.
Tan Yue read the first document, took a sip of tea and regained consciousness, then picked up the second document.
This document is an invitation from a music variety show.
Tan Yue generally agrees with singers appearing on variety shows.
Actors cannot leave a stereotyped impression in the eyes of the audience. It doesn't matter to singers. They need variety shows to increase their exposure.
After signing his name without any problems, Tan Yue opened the script of "Infernal Affairs" and continued writing.
The office fell silent. More than four hours had passed when Tan Yue picked up his water glass and looked at the lower right corner of the computer screen.
The sun outside the window also comes from directly above to the west.
As of now, more than half of the script of "Infernal Affairs" has been completed. Compared with the script of "Nirvana in Fire", the plot of "Infernal Affairs" is much less.
I picked up the massager on the side and put it on my neck. I felt the vibration of the massager and felt much better.
Tan Yue leaned his back tightly on the chair, lying down, closing his slightly sour eyes to cheer up.
Such concentrated work is a great test for both the body and the mind.
"When you have free time in the future, you should find time to exercise every day." Tan Yue felt that the pain in his body was becoming more and more obvious.
Sitting for a long time is very unfriendly to the waist and back.
"By the way, there is a gym in the company." Tan Yue opened his eyes and suddenly remembered what Chen Ziyu said about the company's new batch of fitness equipment.
In fact, he rarely goes to the company's gym. He always thinks that his body is in good shape and does not require exercise.
The other side thinks of the gym as a place to build muscle.
Tan Yue's requirement for his body shape is to keep it well-proportioned and have muscles, but he doesn't like to have exploding tendons all over his body.
However, the recent pain in his body made Tan Yue feel that it was very necessary to exercise.
Even if you don't use those equipment, you can run on the treadmill for a while.
Just like a lunch break, it doesn't need to be long. Half an hour of exercise is enough to make your body healthier.
Thinking of this, Tan Yue took off the massage device, closed the computer interface, got himself another glass of water, and prepared to go to the gym downstairs.
Seeing Tan Yue coming out of the office, Chen Ye thought he had work arrangements and hurried forward.
"Xiaoye, I'm going to the gym downstairs."
"I'll go with you!" Tan Yue had never been to the gym, and Chen Ye also found it a bit new.
Tan Yue moved his body, waved his hand and said, "No, my shoulder has been a little painful recently, probably due to lack of exercise. I'll go run on the treadmill for a while and just keep busy."
"Okay, Mr. Tan."
Tan Yue was about to leave, turned around and said: "There are files placed directly on my desk. I will come back to deal with them. If anyone comes to see me, just say that I am in the gym."
Chen Ye nodded in response.
Tan Yue got into the elevator and left.
Chen Ye returned to his job, thinking about Tan Yue's physical condition.
Since she became a secretary, she has never seen Tan Yue go to the gym to exercise.
In order not to affect the work of other employees, the gym was placed on the first floor.
Some equipment accidentally falls to the ground during exercise. Even if there is a cushion on the ground, it will inevitably make some noise.
Tan Yue got off the elevator and came to the gym.
In order to allow more people to exercise, the gym space originally reserved was extremely spacious.
After the arrival of a new batch of fitness equipment, there is still plenty of space.
The company's gym is designed to encourage employees to exercise in their spare time. The most common fitness equipment is treadmills and spinning bikes.
For ordinary people, this is the simplest and most direct way to exercise.
At this time, there were about a dozen people exercising on the treadmills.
Tan Yue looked at the barbells, dumbbells, and back muscle trainers as he walked.
"There is even a billiard table." These four billiard tables were newly added this time, but Tan Yue didn't know yet.
"Hello, Mr. Tan!" A passing employee saw Tan Yue and greeted him hurriedly.
"Hello!"
After the employee left, he came to his partner and whispered, "Mr. Tan came here today."
"Really?!" Looking at Tan Yue, he was a little surprised. He often came here for running, and this was the first time he saw Tan Yue in the gym.
After hearing the movement, other people around looked at Tan Yue at the same time.
Tan Yue was still looking at the equipment in the gym.
More and more employees working out in the gym noticed Tan Yue's arrival and went to say hello.
"Hello, Mr. Tan!"
"Hello, Mr. Tan!"
Tan Yue also responded one by one, and then came to the treadmill.
"Mr. Tan, come here to work out today." This person is a senior executive of the company.
"I should learn more from you and come here to run more."
"After sitting in the office for a long time, it is inevitable that I will have some back pain."
Tan Yue sighed: "Yes!"
The two chatted for a while.
Tan Yue stood on the treadmill and started running to avoid injuring his body. He first walked slowly and then walked quickly, and finally started running, increasing his speed little by little.
In the blink of an eye, he was sweating profusely.
Tan Yue felt his breathing and thought that if nothing happened in the future, he would still run more often.
During this period, many employees passed by and did not disturb Tan Yue after seeing him.
Looking at the time on the treadmill, half an hour has passed.
Tan Yue gradually lowered the speed of the treadmill and walked slowly for five minutes before getting off the treadmill.
After walking around for a few steps, I sat down in the rest area and began to rest.
Tan Yue's face was covered with sweat, and his shirt was completely soaked with sweat. His breathing gradually became evener, and he felt very comfortable after taking a sip of warm water.
The biggest change is my mental state.
The fatigue of the recent period seemed to be gone, and Tan Yue felt that his energy was much better.
Until he felt his strength recovered, Tan Yue saw several people playing billiards on a billiards table not far away, and couldn't help but want to try it.
He has relatively little exposure to this sport and thinks it should be quite simple.
Tan Yue confidently came to an unused billiard table, holding the cue with stiff fingers to aim.
The ball didn't go in.
Tan Yue remembered that he had promised to call, so he took out his mobile phone and made the call.
When Xu Nuo has nothing to do, apart from drinking, what he likes to do most is play billiards.
He had just learned to play billiards before, and wanted to get Tan Yue to show off his skills.
However, Tan Yue was really not interested in billiards and refused directly and mercilessly.
The phone beeped twice.
"Old Tan, what's going on? Do you want to have a drink with me?"
Tan Yue said speechlessly: "You are a drunkard, do you have anything else on your mind besides drinking?"
"Then why are you calling me?"
"I'm in the company's gym now. Come down and play billiards with me."
Xu Nuo instantly became energetic: "Just wait for me, I'll be there soon."
The call was immediately interrupted, and Tan Yue put the phone in his pocket, waiting for the promise to arrive.
