Golden Boy

Su Pei underestimated the speed of gossip spreading, and the crew couldn't hide the secret at all.

As long as there was one person at the table yesterday who told the joke about He Yiming's slander against Fang Ziling, it took half a day for most of the crew to know about it—"He Yiming ridiculed Fang Ziling for being illiterate" "Fang Ziling was ridiculed for not having read a single book" .

Now that Su Pei is sober, he begins to find that this matter is not so funny.

Xiaoyan said: "I still think it's a bit funny. Didn't Fang Ziling promote her love of reading before, and she was a talented woman? As a result, she was on a game reality show some time ago, and she couldn't even name three Chinese writers. Three One, three. The pretense of being a woman has been punctured a long time ago. He Yiming taunted you face to face, which is a sigh of relief for you."

Su Pei thought, he didn't need He Yiming to express his anger for him.But this is not suitable to say to Xiaoyan.

He just warned her: "Don't write this on your Weibo. Don't get yourself into trouble."

He knew that Xiaoyan had a personal trumpet, where she posted beautiful makeup and clothes, daily jokes, and frivolous content related to the crew.She is more diligent on Weibo, writes fun, and more and more fans follow her.

Xiaoyan immediately said: "Mr. Su, I still have some sense of propriety. You are too worried about me."

She also wanted to ask about He Yiming and him, Su Pei didn't want to recall the past in front of the young girl, so he vaguely passed it.

Some facts, because they were too coincidental, said it as if he was bragging, like giving himself money.So Su Pei seldom mentioned it.

But Su Pei knows that these are all facts - when he was in college, Su Pei firmly believed that He Yiming would do a great job, and he would become a character, before everyone discovered He Yiming's ability , Su Pei thought so.

At that time, He Yiming's father was bankrupt, his mother was ill, and the relationship with his parents was tense.Loitering around school all day, on the verge of dropping out, killing time in drama club, with a face that pleases girls and then drives them away in no time.

At that time, whether it was teachers, classmates, or members of the drama club, they all regarded He Yiming as a cynical freak.When no one was optimistic about He Yiming, Su Pei insisted that He Yiming was the smartest and most talented person he had ever met.

He remembered that He Yiming was very silent when he first came to the drama club, always sitting in a corner and watching their rehearsal silently.

But when they talked for the first time, he immediately realized that every suggestion He Yiming said was on point.

Sometimes Su Pei would feel that he cared so much about He Yiming's friendship that he couldn't give up. One of the reasons was that he was the first to discover He Yiming's brilliance before others saw it.He was the first person to discover the rough stone He Yiming.

Su Pei kept silent about the past with He Yiming, and it was rare for him to be harsh on Xiaoyan: "Write your script well, don't always focus on gossip."

At the same time, He Yiming was sitting in the car, and the driver drove him smoothly on the highway leading to the airport.

Outside the car window is the early winter scenery, the trees and the ground have become dry and thin, as if waiting for the first snow to cover.

In the fast-backward scene, He Yiming recalled a long time ago, the winter when "The Other Side of Time" was published, Su Pei and him traveled by car for the first time, the two took turns driving, unfamiliar with the road, got off the wrong highway intersection... …Drove to a place with nowhere to go, and then got angry on the side of the road.

They were so hungry that they sat on the side of the road for an impromptu picnic. Opposite them was a large wheat field that had been harvested, and the outline of the distant mountains was gradually blurred in the twilight.

They eat takeaway roast chicken, bread and apples, and finally stop complaining and talk happily again.

Su Pei suddenly said, "I'm getting married."

He blurted out: "What? Why?"

Su Pei looked at him and smiled, and said, "Do you need to ask why?"

He Yiming choked on his memories, he didn't want to recall any more.He thought that with the passage of time, this memory would gradually fade, and eventually there would be no traces, but he was wrong.Even today, those pictures and Su Pei's voice at that time are still so fresh, and still make him sting.

Every time he recalled, he could only drag himself out abruptly.

Thinking of this, He Yiming turned on his phone and left a message to Yao Zhicheng: "I went to see Su Pei on the set. He lost some weight, but he is in good spirits. Everyone in the set likes him."

Three days later, Fang Ziling came back "healed from fever".

She carried several large boxes of coats, trench coats, skirts, jackets, boots, high heels, and a dazzling array of scarves, hats, sunglasses and accessories.There are also many small gifts.It took her assistant a while to finish moving these things.

In addition to these ordinary trophies, Fang Ziling also brought one more thing - a book.

Obviously Fang Ziling still took He Yiming's sarcasm to heart.She asked her assistant to carry a box of books in an LV presbyopic suitcase and put them on her trailer.

Between shootings, Fang Ziling always holds a book, usually a novel by Keigo Higashino.But she just flipped through it for 5 minutes, asked the assistant to take a few photos of her, and then the book quickly became a mat for the phone.

In this way, of course no one would say anything in front of Fang Ziling.And Fang Ziling distributed an exquisite little gift to almost every staff member of the crew.Even Xiaoyan stopped gossiping for a few days because of the small gift, and even posted a photo on Weibo, "The small gift that Ziling gave to our crew is so thoughtful (love)."

Fang Ziling's attitude towards Su Pei was better than before.I don't know what Bai Wenchen said to her, but she no longer directly interferes with Su Pei's work.

Su Pei knew very well that it was because of He Yiming's influence.

Not only Fang Ziling, but even the director became more polite to him.

On this day they are going to shoot a dance party, and there is also a scene where the heroine gets drunk.Fang Ziling drank a small glass of baijiu before shooting in order to bring out the feeling of drunkenness.This made her face appear naturally rosy in the early winter night.

During the break, Fang Ziling and Su Pei started talking.This is the first time they have talked alone since the day of the party.

"How do you think I did just now?" Fang Ziling asked with a smile.She was wrapped in a down jacket, only revealing the hem of the gorgeous long skirt.

Su Pei said truthfully: "Very good. It is exactly the same as Wen Li written in the script."

Fang Ziling laughed in a low voice and said, "Hmph, it's not that I'm arrogant, I'm much better at acting than him!" She was referring to the male lead who had no acting skills, and was a more formidable acquaintance.

Not far away, the assistant director was waving his arms and gesticulating to the male lead.

Su Pei said: "The director should think so too."

Fang Ziling opened a delicate metal box containing cigarettes, and she handed one to Su Pei.They smoke together.

She casually asked: "You and He Yiming have known each other for so long, have you ever thought of working with him?"

Sure enough, the topic turned around to He Yiming, Su Pei was not surprised.But he still practiced Tai Chi, and he said with a smile: "There should be no need for me and him to work together."

Although he has been a screenwriter for three years, he still can't learn to brag and sell himself.

Fang Ziling thought he was pretending to be low-key.She smiled and said, "Maybe he will invest in film and television? I heard recently that someone wants to make a biopic about him."

This is the first time Su Pei has heard of this incident. He did not expect that someone wanted to make a biopic about He Yiming before he was 30 years old.

He remembered that He Yiming had said that Bai Wenchen wanted to lure him to invest in film and television.

He made a joke: "If you make a biopic of He Yiming, what role do you want to play?"

This question overwhelmed Fang Ziling.Because there is no heroine in He Yiming's story.Although he has a lot of scandals, he has never heard of who his real love is.

Fang Ziling asked: "Why, didn't He Yiming have a first love who broke his heart when he was in college?"

Su Pei said: "No. He has never been the only one who hurt girls' hearts."

He said taking a drag on his cigarette.What Fang Ziling gave him was a slender female cigarette, but it was not out of harmony for him to hold it. His face looked softer and less haggard in the smoke under the light.

Fang Ziling suddenly realized that it was the first time for him to look at the screenwriter's face so closely. His face was pale, so he looked very clean. Unlike her previous impression of frailty, his eyebrows and eyes were very attractive.

Maybe he's also a storyteller.Fang Ziling lost his mind for a moment.

Su Pei looked at her: "I see, you can play an original role." His tone was still joking, brisk and casual.

Fang Ziling's eyes dodged for a moment, she smiled: "Really. But surely He Yiming doesn't agree with me playing his goddess?"

Su Pei also laughed.Fang Ziling asked again suddenly: "I never thought that "The Other Side of Time" was written by you, Mr. Su. I never thought that Su Pei was Mr. Su."

Su Pei didn't expect Fang Ziling to mention this, and there seemed to be some meaning in his tone.

"Why, have you heard of it before?"

Fang Ziling said: "I read it. At that time, I shared a rent with a good friend. One day she gave me a novel. She said that the heroine was very similar to me. She was beautiful, proud, and very self-willed... I wrote it in a week. After reading this novel, I still wonder if the author knows me..." She said with a smile.

Su Pei just smoked slowly.Fang Ziling looked at him calmly, and didn't seem to feel flattered. Although he was smiling, there was still that indifferent tiredness in the corners of his eyes.

She suppressed her laughter and asked, "When you were in college, did you often make girls sad like He Yiming?"

Su Pei smiled slightly, and said, "No. I'm different from He Yiming."

"I don't believe it. Boys like you are the same. I've seen it a lot."

"Which?"

"Handsome and talented. Many people like him in college, right?"

Su Pei said: "I only had one girlfriend in college, and we got married after graduation."

Fang Ziling was really surprised, but Su Pei immediately added, "We're already divorced."

"Why?" Fang Ziling blurted out.

Su Pei said: "Because we were too young when we got married, there are many things that we did not expect at that time."

He has thought a lot about his problems and Shen Lan's problems.

In the end, it can only be summed up in one sentence.

After the cigarette was finished, Fang Ziling touched up her makeup and was ready to continue shooting.She took off the down jacket, revealing the thin but slim long skirt.

"Ms. Su, it would be great if we chatted earlier." She turned her head and smiled at Su Pei.

The author has something to say: He Yiming: You are the heroine of Lao Tzu's biopic!Su Pei!
