That night, Wen Yan slept extremely peacefully.
Qin Yulong was an activist, so she took the initiative to knock on Wen Yan's door the next morning.
At this time, Wen Yan was not awake yet.
"Morning, Yulong, it's only ten o'clock, why did you get up so early?"
"It's getting late. The sun is already shining on your butt. Get up quickly and I'll give you ten minutes."
"What? Ten minutes. But I want to sleep until 12 o'clock and then get up for lunch."
Qin Yulong did not allow Wen Yan to refute: "Hurry up, you still have nine and a half minutes. I told you yesterday that I take my work very seriously, and you promised me, could it be that on the first day you Are you going to break your promise?"
"Ah???" Wen Yan's face was full of questions, "Is this the beginning? Even if our cooperation started last night, there is no work today."
"Who said there is no job?" Qin Yulong suddenly had a stack of paper in his hand like a magic trick.
She raised her hand and waved it in front of Wen Yan: "Nine minutes countdown, see you in the living room on the third floor."
Wen Yan: [Oooh, devil! Qin Yulong, you devil]
Qin Yulong raised his eyebrows slightly, and said another sentence before leaving and closing the door.
"It's too late to regret now."
Wen Yan had no regrets.
"Just wait, I will definitely be there in 9 minutes."
"8 minutes."
Wen Yan didn't waste any more words and climbed out of bed.
7 minutes later, Wen Yan washed and dressed and appeared in front of Qin Yulong.
"How about it? My gathering speed is pretty good, right?"
Qin Yulong glanced at the time on the dial and nodded lightly: "It's not bad."
After saying that, she pushed the document at hand to Wen Yan.
"Look carefully and if you have any questions or objections, we will discuss them in person."
"Oh, okay, I'll take a look first."
Wen Yan guessed that this might be the contract clause listed by Qin Yulong, but she did not expect that she could list so many contracts.
However, after scanning it carefully, it is quite reasonable, but it is more detailed.
But to be fair, being meticulous is better than being meticulous.
She is serious and responsible, and Wen Yan is relieved.
Wen Yan closed the contract after reading it: "I have no questions or objections to these, I accept it."
Qin Yulong nodded: "Then do you have anything else to add?"
Wen Yan shook her head: "No, everything I can think of and everything I can't think of are already here. But... I do have something I want to discuss with you."
"What's up?"
"I want to make movies."
Qin Yulong raised his eyebrows: "Aren't you filming? I did some homework before coming here. With your current influence, there should be many people looking for you to make movies next. If you and Zhou Junye collaborate on this movie If "The Last Pangolin" is effective, you should have better resources. Compared with other themes, this film will be easier to win awards."
"Indeed," Wen Yan smiled, "it seems that you have really done your homework. But that's not what I mean when I say making a movie, but I want to make a movie myself."
"You want to be a director?"
"No, no, no," Wen Yan waved her hand quickly, "I haven't developed this function myself yet. I still need to find a professional director, but I have a story in hand, and I also want to participate."
"what story?"
"The story of my biological father. To be honest, after learning what happened to him, I felt deeply. In the eyes of ordinary people, he should be classified as a more difficult group of people. But Even so, he is still doing his best to help those in need. Whether it is economic or other living conditions, my current situation is much better than his, and I feel that I should do something.
"But for this kind of thing, it's not enough for me and him. And I think the good deeds also need to be publicized, and the children in the orphanages need to be seen. I don't know if the movie will be successful, but I want to try Give it a try. Now you are my agent, no, to be precise, your partner, and I hope to get your support."
Qin Yulong thought for a moment: "I understand what you mean, but what if I don't support you?"
Wen Yan was silent for two seconds and shook her head: "I don't believe it. I don't believe you won't support me. You should know that I'm not messing around."
Qin Yulong looked at Wen Yan and smiled: "It seems that we are indeed a co-production, and I support you. But you should also know that making a movie, from preparation to release, is not a simple matter. Here On the one hand, we are not considered professionals and will face many difficulties.”
"I know," Wen Yan nodded, "but it doesn't matter if you have difficulties, just solve them. The second brother should come home tomorrow, and I will discuss it with him when I think of it. I think Zhou Junye is a good director, what do you think?"
"I think it's feasible. It seems that you have thought about it a long time ago, and you will do it even without me."
"Yes, but it's better to have you. I believe in you."
"Then I can't betray your trust in me. Do you want to start a group? I want to talk to your assistant first."
"Efficiency!" Wen Yan immediately gave Qin Yulong a thumbs up, "I knew I was right about you!"
-
Shen Jinghe came back the next afternoon.
As soon as he came back, he was pulled away by Wen Yan.
Wen Yan didn't have a study room at home, so she could only call Shen Jinghe and Qin Yulong to the entertainment room on the first floor.
When Shen Jingxiu came back from get off work, what he saw was Shen Jingchuan sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed and arms folded, looking toward the entertainment room.
He was a little surprised: "What are you doing? Thinking about life?"
Shen Jingchuan squinted his eyes and raised his hand to look at the time on the dial.
"It's been forty-five minutes. It's been a full forty-five minutes since they went in."
Shen Jingxiu was puzzled: "Who are they?"
Shen Jingchuan snorted: "Wen Yan, Shen Jinghe, Qin Yulong."
"Shen Jinghe is back?"
"Yes!" Shen Jingchuan stared in that direction, "Wen Yan dragged him away as soon as he came back. I brought her delicious food when I came back from outside today, but she wasn't even so enthusiastic about me!"
Shen Jingxiu also glanced in the direction of the entertainment room: "It's inevitable that I won't be surprised to see you every day."
"No! The key is that she didn't take me with her! She went to discuss things with the other two and didn't take me with her. She had no intention of inviting me to join."
Shen Jingxiu frowned slightly, thought for a second and then said: "They are all in the same circle. Maybe they want to talk about work. It may not be appropriate for you to go."
"Then I can't listen? Maybe I can still help."
"How can you help with matters in their circle? You don't even have the most basic financial capital."
Shen Jingchuan: "..." It must be heartbreaking to kill people.
"Are you my big brother? Why do you want to stab me in the heart? When my club returns its capital and makes a profit, I will definitely throw money at you."
Shen Jingxiu nodded seriously: "I'm looking forward to it, but don't make me wait too long."
Shen Jingchuan: "...Please disappear from my eyes immediately."
Shen Jingxiu raised his lips and strode up the stairs.
Wen Yan went to Shen Jing to talk to them about something they mentioned in the car that day.
Anyway, as long as he is not the only one being kept in the dark now.
After Shen Jinghe came back, almost all the family members except for the third child had expired.
Su Yang carefully prepared a table of meals for Qin Yulong, which was regarded as a welcome feast for her.
Under Wen Yan's organization, everyone also came up with their own greeting gifts.
What Shen Yuan gave to Qin Yulong was an apartment.
He had already given this gift to each of his children when they reached adulthood, and now it is considered as a supplement to Qin Yulong.
Su Yang gave her a set of carefully designed jewelry.
It is from the same series as the birthday gift given to Wen Yan.
Shen Jingxiu sent a car.
What Shen Jinghe and Shen Jingchuan gave as gifts were watches.
Wen Yan gave her a brooch that she had prepared a long time ago.
She gave them to several of her brothers on her last birthday, and the one she gave to Qin Yulong was also from the same series.
These gifts are valuable to ordinary people.
However, Qin Yulong's adoptive family has strong financial strength, so these things are nothing to her.
But he felt the affection from these family members, which made her feel valued and accepted.
After the meal, Wen Yan went back to the set.
Although the one-week vacation given by Zhou Junye had not yet arrived, she still had to go back early.
The bodyguard drove and after leaving the villa, he went to pick up Wen Yan's assistant He Xing.
I haven't seen her for several days, so I was lucky enough to tell Wen Yan about the trends about her online these days.
"Yan Yan, fans are very concerned about your status these days. Many people asked me in private messages when you will broadcast live again. There are also many people online asking about your biological father. This is the most common question. My private messages are all It’s about to explode. I’m going to be disconnected from the group again soon. Do you want to report it to the fans?”
Fortunately, it was Qin Yulong who answered.
"Forget it about live streaming, just go somewhere and post updates. There are more people gossiping now, so there is no need to interact with these people."
Wen Yan agreed: "Okay, by the way, let me announce that I also have an agent now. Come, let's take a photo of the two of us."
Qin Yulong actually doesn't like taking selfies very much, nor does he like uploading his own photos online.
However, seeing Wen Yan's high interest, she didn't want to dampen her mood, so she cooperated and leaned closer to her.
Wen Yan took several photos in a row, and then happily edited the pictures.
He Xing, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, suddenly remembered something and became a little worried.
"There have been rumors about your scandal on the Internet before. What if the photo taken together generates negative comments and lies?"
Wen Yan didn't care: "Yulong is now my agent. Others will know sooner or later. Instead of waiting for them to find out a long time later and then discuss it blindly, it's better for me to announce it from the beginning. You think so, right? Yulong ?”
Qin Yulong nodded.
She couldn't figure out how anyone could believe such a non-existent thing and spread it widely.
She said that she and Wen Yan were a lesbian couple, and they were in an advanced stage of mental illness.
Fortunately, as expected, Wen Yan posted this news.
It became the number one trending topic that night.
When having dinner with the director, Zhou Junye couldn't help but sigh: "Wen Yan, you are really popular. It doesn't matter if you don't show up at ordinary times, but this time you appear on the hot search. Have you decided on the next movie? We are here The side is almost over and you are on the upswing now, which is when you need to strike while the iron is hot.”
Zhou Junye didn't like drinking, so Wen Yan refilled his drink.
"That's what I had in mind. Didn't I just come to you?"
"Looking for me?" Zhou Junye shook his head, "I'm very happy that you're so popular and you're willing to cooperate with me, but I don't have any suitable projects at the moment."
"I know, but what I want to tell you is not the current project you have. I have a plan, but I don't know if you are interested."
Zhou Junye became interested: "You tell me."
Wen Yan then told Zhou Junye about her plan to make a movie.
After Zhou Junye heard this, he couldn't help but open his mouth.
"So you really found your biological father so quickly?"
"Then it's still fake! Didn't you all see the paternity test report when I broadcast it live?"
Zhou Junye sighed: "I never expected that your biological father would have such a touching story. Have you discussed it with him, has he agreed?"
"Yes. I started planning this project in my mind after asking for his permission. I also agreed with Shen Jinghe, and now that you have joined me, I feel that even if we cannot achieve great success, we should not It will fail. I don’t expect to make much money with this movie. I just want to get some attention for certain groups, just like "Pangolin". I think any director may refuse, but you will definitely not, right? !”
"Yes!" Zhou Junye was a little excited, "Of course I won't refuse. What about the screenwriter? Do you have a suitable candidate?"
"Well..." Wen Yan raised her eyebrows, "Far away in the horizon, but close in front of you."
"Yourself?" Zhou Junye was a little surprised, "Can you do it?"
Wen Yan was not angry at Zhou Junye's doubts.
"Just give it a try. If you don't give it a try, how will you know if you can do it? I'll give it a try first. If it really doesn't meet the standards, I'll find a screenwriter."
"That's fine. After all, you are also one of the parties involved in this matter, and your feelings are also a good starting point. But I also know a few good screenwriters. If necessary, I can introduce you to them."
"Okay! Once the book is written, I will show it to you. I hope I won't disappoint you, the director."
Zhou Junye raised his glass: "Then I wish us all the best!"
-
Wen Yan quickly devoted herself to filming.
The planned duration of "The Last Pangolin" is 40 minutes. There are not many scenes in the film, and the relationship between the characters is not complicated, so the shooting period is short.
With another person staying in the mountains to help me, the movie is finally finished.
When the filming was finished, Wen Yan's eyes were swollen from crying.
As a human mother who adopted a baby pangolin, she saw with her own eyes the carcasses of pangolins being transported away one after another.
Pangolins can only defend but not attack. When defending, they will shrink their bodies into a ball.
Their scales are extremely hard and impenetrable when rolled up.
Human beings have tried every means to peel off skin and armor.
They burned it with fire and watered it with cement, and they were extremely cruel...
After the rescue failed, the human mother played by Wen Yan was severely beaten by poachers.
A girl transformed from a little pangolin crawled over to feed her water. She couldn't speak and only had a pair of eyes filled with tears.
She told the little girl, go back, go back to the mountains, and never come close to humans again. Even if it’s me, don’t come close. Never, never come out again.
The little girl was reluctant to let go, but the human mother still pushed her away cruelly.
Alone and helpless, she walked deep into the forest in the foggy early morning, looking back three times every step.
Finally, the back gradually changed from the shape of a little girl to a small pangolin, disappearing into the boundless night.
The next day, the sun rose as usual, but the poachers did not stop. (End of chapter)
