The weather was nice today, and Yang Yi was sitting in a booth next to the floor-to-ceiling window of the coffee shop. He was enjoying the warm sunlight as he concentrated on making changes to a stack of manuscript.
He flipped through the manuscript, and sometimes he flipped to the first page. On it was written: "Ugly Duckling. Screenwriter: Yang Yi."
This really was a children's play adapted by Yang Yi himself!
Yang Yi only knew that the story of the ugly duckling was about a swan egg that was mixed into a duck egg. After an ugly "duck" hatched, it was discriminated against in all sorts of ways. In the end, it turned out to be a white swan.
Of course, he didn't know the details of the story. In his previous life, he wouldn't have bought a fairy tale from Hans Christian Andersen. He only knew a bit of the plot from other people's quotations.
With this pitiful memory, Yang Yi rewrote the story. He even added more characters and supporting dialogue based on the number of children in the middle class. Thus, there was nothing wrong with him signing himself as the screenwriter.
The script was finished, but Yang Yi was still not satisfied. He felt that the dialogue had to be suitable for the children's age. He couldn't use a lot of rhetoric and adjectives like adults. Thus, he had been revising it all day.
He still had to strike a balance between work and rest. Yang Yi put down the manuscript, stretched, and took his coffee cup to the bar to make himself a cup of coffee.
Ding Xiang's skills had been honed, but Yang Yi was still self-sufficient. He didn't enjoy the coffee, but the process of grinding coffee beans, brewing coffee, and filtering the residue.
However, he was somewhat surprised to see Guo Ziyi sitting on the bar with his butt up and chatting with Ding Xiang.
Hearing the movement behind him, Guo Ziyi hurriedly straightened his back and put away his butt. He awkwardly greeted Yang Yi, "Big Brother Yang, I saw that you were busy just now, so I didn't disturb you."
"Didn't you go to shoot a movie? Why do you have time to come here to play? "Yang Yi asked with a smile.
"Him? Someone stood him up," Ding Xiang said as she helped Yang Yi take down his coffee.
Yang Yi was surprised. "Senior Du stood you up?"
Because of his relationship with Guo Ziyi, Yang Yi often called Du Yuanlei as Senior Sister Du. Of course, it was only to tease Guo Ziyi in private.
"How could that be? She's always the earliest. " Guo Ziyi waved his hand and said indignantly, "It's Tang Kaitai. He's the male lead. Two days ago, he was only late and asked everyone to wait for him. Today, he didn't come!"
Tang Kaitai?
Yang Yi thought of the pretty boy who was not very energetic during the freshmen's party, but he could always cover up his flaws and win the applause of many girls.
"Why did your director choose him as the male lead?" Ding Xiang asked in confusion. "How can there be such a big shot? He's just a student! "
"Senior Sister Du thinks that Tang Kaitai's acting is not bad, and he meets the requirements of a handsome male lead. Plus, he was very active in front of Senior Sister Du and pestered her to be the male lead. Senior Sister Du didn't have a better candidate, so she let him try." Guo Ziyi made excuses for Du Yuanlei.
"Today, he didn't deliberately not come. We waited for a while, then he called to say that there was an emergency at home and he had to go back. There's no other way …" Guo Ziyi spread his hands.
The actual situation was similar, but Guo Ziyi knew that Tang Kaitai was just making excuses. He could see that this guy showed all kinds of impatience after the movie started shooting!
He was smiling on the surface, but cursing in his heart. Tang Kaitai paid attention to his image, but he deliberately showed his easy-going side. What he did exposed his true thoughts.
This time, he didn't come, which brought a lot of trouble to the crew. Originally, they were going to shoot Tang Kaitai's scenes today. Du Yuanlei was worried that this guy would change his mind, so she brought forward all his scenes and asked Guo Ziyi, Qin Wen, and a few other supporting roles to memorize the corresponding scripts.
However, if he didn't come, today's scenes couldn't be shot at all. Du Yuanlei and everyone's previous preparations were all in vain. Moreover, Tang Kaitai said that because he was going back to Xiangnan, he wouldn't show up at school for a week. Although he sincerely apologized on the phone, Guo Ziyi could see that Du Yuanlei's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
Guo Ziyi was actually very annoyed, and he looked down on Tang Kaitai even more. But since they were all in the same crew, it was not good to speak ill of others behind their backs. He could only say what he could say to Yang Yi and the others.
"So we're not shooting today?" Yang Yi didn't understand the process of shooting a movie at all. He made his coffee, then turned around and asked with a smile.
He motioned to Guo Ziyi to finish the coffee in his cup, and then poured a cup for him.
"We can't shoot, the main character didn't come, we can't just shoot blindly, right? Senior Du said that she will go back and take a look today, and then decide what to do tomorrow. She will inform us on SNS. "Guo Ziyi said.
"Good things come with setbacks, the problems you encounter now are just stepping stones for your future success." Yang Yi smiled and raised his cup to Guo Ziyi, "Come on, young man, you must always believe that good things are about to happen."
What a big bowl of chicken soup, Guo Ziyi and Ding Xiang looked at each other, they didn't expect Brother Yang to do this.
… …
In Yang Cheng, Li Manman, who had just participated in a product endorsement launch, walked out of the venue with a smile. Her agent, Yi Qi, and several security guards helped to block the reporters and some enthusiastic fans that swarmed over.
"You've all worked hard, everyone go home early and rest, thank you, thank you!" Li Manman said with a smile as she received flowers and gifts from her fans.
When she was about to walk out of the hotel, a reporter squeezed over with a small recording pen, "Miss Li Manman, what do you think about Murphy, who was only on the show as a foil to you, now that she has been invited to participate in the 'Zhixin Interview' with her song 'Crossing the Ocean to See You', what do you think about this matter?"
The reporter's lung capacity was quite impressive to be able to finish such a long sentence in one breath.
However, it poked at Li Manman's sore spot. In the past few years, she had expressed her wish to appear on "Zhixin Interview", a program that was said to only invite top celebrities, whether it was a pity, or pretending to be pitiful, or unintentionally mentioning it in some programs.
Although being invited to the show might not be able to increase her popularity, but through the show or Luo Xin, she could enter the fashion industry. She might even be able to walk on the red carpet of the fashion festival. Then, her career would be able to take a big step forward!
Her fans were also trying their best to promote this matter, and it became a hot topic on the internet. Because of this, she had the title of 'the woman who wanted to be invited to the' Zhixin Interview '. But, Luo Xin didn't have any response to this matter.
Murphy was the first to arrive, what would Li Manman think about this? When she heard this news, of course she was mad with jealousy! She didn't even know how many things she had smashed in her own house.
But, in front of the reporters, she couldn't be so impolite.
Li Manman smiled faintly and said, "Of course, cough, of course, I want to congratulate Sister Murphy. Sister Murphy is so talented, and her song 'Crossing the Ocean to See You' is so good. It's only right for her to be invited to the 'Zhixin Interview'!"
"Then, Miss Li, don't you think it's unfair?" The reporter didn't pick on the matter and asked unwillingly.
"Okay, okay, Manman is very tired today, please be considerate." Yi Qi appeared and helped Li Manman to stop the reporters. She explained with a smile and then escorted Li Manman to the car.
