Everything that happened today was like a dream to Wen Liang.
The wish she had always dreamed of had come true, which made her feel a little confused when she was getting along with He Tianran today. When she returned to the dormitory at night, Sheng Qidong said that she was a little too excited, and the look on her face was There are more smiles than in the past month.
It's just that my boyfriend is back, and I haven't seen a long-distance couple for several years. Are they acting in a bloody idol drama?
This is really a situation that rarely happens to Wen Liang. In other people's impressions, she shouldn't be the kind of sweet girl who loves others. Even she herself thinks so.
It's just that the emotions that have been suppressed for so many years finally come true, and the joy is inevitably uncontrollable.
Back in the dormitory, Wen Liang lay alone in bed and thought for a long time. She took her mobile phone, turned on the screen, and looked at the girl with a bright smile and the boy with a deflated face on the wallpaper. That was the girl she and He Tianran met in September last year. , the only group photo taken.
She had sent this photo to her circle of friends, but the next day she was offended by some of He Tianran's actions and deleted the message. However, she has always kept the photo, even if the memory has not yet been fused. During this period, she somehow managed not to change it.
Whenever she sees her smile in the photo, she will fall into deep thought.
It took a year for her to regain that happy smile that came from her heart.
However, happiness came too suddenly and made her very embarrassed.
He Tianran is not a person who talks about what is in his heart, and Wen Liang does not believe that the boy who said he wanted to atone for his sins half a month ago will have to bear the guilt and repay Cao Aiqing's youth. I figured it out overnight, inexplicably.
This is unreasonable.
But Wen Liang didn't dare to ask.
Because she was afraid that this hard-won happiness would be covered up by one problem after another and lose its original dazzling color.
It was not something she had really fought for, which made this always proud girl fall into a kind of worry about gains and losses.
Do I have to specify it clearly?
Do we have to ask why?
She really couldn't bear it...
Wen Liang put the phone on her heart, closed her eyes, and only expected one thing in her heart——
I hope tomorrow will be as good as today.
…
…
He Tianran was sorting the clothes he brought from home in the dormitory, Cai Jueming was cursing and rubbing his cell phone on the bed, while Hu Yue was sitting in front of the computer, typing fast, probably writing something.
"Director He, you are so dishonest. You didn't immediately think about going out with your brothers to have a good time after you were discharged from the hospital. We didn't even know you came back at noon. You threw your luggage away and went out again."
Cai Jueming threw the phone away. He probably lost the game, lost his interest, and had nothing to say.
"Others want to spend time with their girlfriends, you two! One noon and one evening, the time is just right, but if you think about it, in the end, we two brothers are more important. Didn't you see that others, Director He, didn't obediently come back to sleep with us! "
Hu Yue enjoyed it.
"Hey, don't tell me, this is really what happened~!"
"It must."
Listening to the two animals singing together, He Tianran folded his clothes and put them in the closet. He turned his back to the two of them and said calmly: "Stop making trouble, we are just one now, just warm and cool."
"Yo~"
Hu Yue stopped typing with his hands and turned around immediately after hearing the words. Cai Jueming also poked his head out of the mosquito net on the bed and asked:
"What's going on? Has the matter been exposed?"
Hu Yue pushed up his glasses, the lenses shone with the light of wisdom, and he asserted:
"Definitely not, little Zhou Huimin, I don't know, but if it is exposed, Wen Xiaohuadan's character is definitely not the one left, so there is a high probability that Director He is the one who silently made a separation between the two. !”
He Tianran was helpless, and he didn't bother to defend himself. He turned to Hu Yue and said:
"You are really an emotional counselor. You can guess everything. You are so capable, why can't you get a girlfriend?"
Hu Yue choked and lit a cigarette in melancholy. Cai Jueming still didn't believe it and said:
"Really? Isn't it a strategy of retreating in order to advance? There is no backup plan?"
He Tianran shook his head and said: "What's the plan? Isn't that a PUA? If we break up, we'll break up. Don't talk about this matter between you two in the future. Adding salt to my wounds would be detrimental to your morality."
"Oh~ are you really willing to give up? Isn't that a pity..."
Cai Jueming murmured, feeling the warning look from He Tianran, he retracted his head back into the mosquito net angrily.
"well done!"
Hu Yue clapped his hands, gave He Tianran a thumbs up, turned around and started typing again.
The different reactions of the two roommates were noticed by He Tianran. He walked up to Hu Yue, looked at the text that appeared quickly on the screen, and asked:
"Hu Xiucai, where are you writing the script?"
"No, the Internet."
"What the hell?"
"Shuangwen, the kind that takes no brainer."
Hearing Hu Yue's answer, He Tianran was stunned. Cai Jueming on the bed couldn't help but said again:
"It's just so exciting. This guy just stays in the dormitory and writes all day long. He's like a god, coding 10,000 words a day. He doesn't even have an outline. He just relies on routines. He really doesn't have any emotion at all. In the end, What’s scary is that I, the others, somehow noticed it and rewarded him with two to three hundred.”
Hu Yue was very impressed by his roommate's words. Seeing He Tianran leaning over curiously, he quickly closed his notebook and said sheepishly:
"Then... Director He, just stop reading."
He Tianran asked puzzledly: "Why?"
"I'm still hoping to take on your roles in the future and make a living. If you know that I wrote these unsavory things, you will definitely question my ability."
He Tianran listened, and it was no wonder that Hu Yue thought so.
Everyone in the directing department has their eyes high, especially the students. Before they have experienced the severe beatings from society, they are idealistic. They talk like Béla Tarr, Rohmer and Giacomo, and they like to speak loudly. Discuss Wes Anderson-esque colors, brag about Quentin and Nolan when meeting everyone, and discuss his profound insights into non-linear narrative structure and line repetition, but he will remain silent about Kubrick and will pretend to be cryptic when necessary. last sentence:
"He is the filmmaker closest to God."
When it comes to which major of all the universities in our country has students pretending to be the most intelligent and seemingly flawless, individual students in the directing department are definitely among the best.
Therefore, Hu Yue did not want to show what he wrote to He Tianran because he was concerned about this. For people like them, they are used to it. Reading this kind of low-level online literature comes with a three-pointed view. .
In this circle, impression is very important. As Hu Yue said, he still wants to make a living. If others want to see your work, if you bring out a pot of shit that you like to see and hear, isn't this asking for death?
Fortunately, He Tianran has passed this stage of being arrogant and arrogant. He has also written many scripts in another timeline. He understands Hu Yue's psychology very well at this moment.
He smiled and said: "We are the ones who are studying directing. We may not be able to make a big-screen film, but we dream of being a foreign director every day. We are all half-measured. Why should I question your ability? If you can make money, you have hard power." "
Cai Jueming helped: "I told you a long time ago that Director He is not one of those pretenders! Hu Xiucai, you still don't believe me. You said that your monthly income is over 10,000 yuan, so why are you hiding it?"
"Over 10,000?"
He Tianran was shocked. He only earned a few thousand dollars a month working in a bar.
Hu Yue quickly denied, "No, no, judging from the background data, it only costs six to seven thousand yuan now."
"Isn't this month over yet? At the end of the month, it's already over 10,000 yuan." Cai Jueming said.
He Tianran became more interested. After all he said, he finally read the book written by Hu Yue. Good guy, the book is called "The Dragon King's Son-in-law: The God of War Comes to the Door, Starting from the Inner Volume!" "The most ridiculous thing is that the heroine in it is also named He, and she is 70% similar to herself in terms of personality and family background!
He Tianran's eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "Did you change my gender in the book?"
Hu Yue hurriedly explained: "I've never had a girlfriend... Huayong, Huayong!"
In this way, He Tianran read seven or eight chapters, and then silently covered his eyes.
Regardless of the plot, as far as the sense of substitution is concerned, he is indeed not Hu Yue's audience. In order to prevent the friendship from deteriorating, from now on, he must stay away from this animal...
"By the way, is it profitable to write online articles?"
He Tianran suddenly asked.
Hu Yue shook his head and started talking:
"Except for the top layer of the pyramid, the time spent by 95% of people in this industry is completely out of proportion to the benefits. People like me who can take a sip of soup are considered lucky. Fortunately, At first I wrote it as a fun job and didn't take it too seriously. Now it's okay as a part-time job, but it's not a long-term solution.
I am a freshman and junior in our department. I worked as a screenwriter during the summer vacation. My monthly salary is almost 20,000 yuan. When I have nothing to do, I can also take on some advertising copywriting work. I spent two days and slowly thought about it. Write out one or two hundred words, and then spend a week deleting and deleting them. At the end of the month, you will get eight thousand yuan. Those days are called nourishing! It’s not like me, who codes 10,000 words for each Kuhaha, and has to hold on to it even when I go out to eat with Lao Cai. When I wash my hair every day, a lot of hair falls out. This kind of work really doesn’t last long. "
He Tianran gave advice: "You are working too hard to write 10,000 words a day, and you have written too much. Can you go back to writing scripts in the future? Even for TV drama scripts, now three people are separated in one episode. When it comes to writing, one episode can be produced in two or three days, which is considered fast. How can you still read what you write as a team?"
Hu Yue said smugly: "If you can read it, please tell me some skills. Anyway, people who read online articles mostly have a recreational mentality. If you really write seriously and profoundly, others will point their fingers at you and scold you." You are a young man, so you are unlucky."
"So no one scolds you for being stupid? Others spent money on it."
"Yes, but think about it, Director He. I get scolded even if I write well, and I get scolded even if I write badly. So I might as well give them a shit, and come back with another vest after earning this money."
He Tianran secretly gasped: "Scored twice, right? This is too impetuous. Can't we exchange quality for quantity?"
Hu Yue handed He Tianran a cigarette, helped him light it, and said:
"You don't understand this, Director He. Although you are talking about the right path, it is too difficult to walk. Now everyone is following the trend and taking shortcuts for profit, which is quick and easy. Even if they can't make money, they can still The cost of trial and error is also low.”
He Tianran took a drag on his cigarette, "But someone has to take the right path. If this logic continues, won't this market become a stagnant water? Now that the IP adaptation trend is so strong, even capital will not kill the goose that lays the eggs. thing."
Hu Yue waved his hand:
"That's the logic of your upper-class people. Let me tell you, Director He. Everyone wants to make a lot of money for someone like me, but what we think more about is how much income we will earn this month. Writing to convey truth, literary dreams, etc. are all bullshit. There is no such soil for online writing. It is better to add a zero at the end of my royalties than to add a zero to the end of my manuscript fee.
As for IP adaptation, this is a big deal. That is what the chosen one thinks about. Putting it in an online article is the highlight of the number of words. Anyway, I have a very clear positioning of myself. After finishing this job, I will come to another place. , I don’t expect to become a god or enlightenment. Anyway, I need to get the money first! "
Cai Jueming yelled on the bed: "Good guy, you have shown your cards right, right? You should finish writing the book in your hand first! Otherwise I will kill you!"
Hu Yue laughed and ignored him.
Obviously, if the profits of the book he wrote do not meet expectations in the future, he will definitely choose to commit suicide.
He Tianran lowered his head and thought about it. He frowned, blew out smoke from his mouth, and said slowly:
"Hu Xiucai, what you said...is correct, but this matter...is wrong."
Hu Yue did not argue, but said straightforwardly: "It's wrong, but everyone is drunk, so why should I be the sober one?"
He Tianran was happy: "If you can say such a thing, I think you are quite sober, but please don't lose sight of everyone."
Hu Yue cupped his hand, deeply convinced.
"Director He, if you write an online article, even if you write about your joyful experience of being in two different boats, there is a high probability that you will fall into the public eye. Do you know why?"
"Why?"
"Because you won't pretend to be confused! If you follow a straight path, your life will be very tiring."
"Master is brilliant!"
Everyone laughed, and the night chat of 3408 ended tonight.
At night, He Tianran lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
He was thinking about his future plans, Wen Liang's wish list, the two girls' long-cherished wishes, and his final destination.
Among them, he had never had a clue about Ai Qing's long-cherished wish, but agreeing to be with Wen Liang today and recognizing each other as lovers was a matter of course and had already been planned in his heart.
As for why, it is actually very simple to figure out. Wen Liang died for herself, so her long-cherished wish must be related to the regretful relationship between the two.
Therefore, what I have to do now is very simple.
Stay with her, love her with all your heart, and make each other better.
Let her no longer live for herself.
Love shouldn't be everything to her in this world, her own life is.
Since she didn't want to have any regrets, He Tianran wouldn't let her have any more regrets this time the two of them were together.
This is enough.
