Chapter 56 He's crazy.
"Frostfall."
When the school bell rang, Han Shuangji lowered his head to pack his schoolbag.
In the front row of the classroom, Fang Qianqian hurried over and handed him some printed materials.
"These are the notes you took during your absence, and the classmates in the class organized them for you. Your usual attendance rate is too low, and you must get high marks in the final exam in order not to fail."
Han Shuangji took the information and said with a smile, "I see, thank you monitor."
"Thank you? It should be." Fang Qianqian hesitated for a few seconds, seeing that he was about to leave, and asked tentatively, "Do you have time next?"
Frost Ji raised his wrist, looked at his watch, "5 minutes, is it enough?"
"Our class plans to go to the premiere of the movie together tonight, 5 minutes is enough? Forget it." Fang Qianqian waved her hand, dispelling the idea of letting Han Shuangji participate in group activities.
"Premiere." Frost Ji understood in seconds.
Tomorrow is the first day of the long holiday, the day "Like Love" will be released.
Han Shuangji said, "Buy a ticket for me, monitor."
"it is good."
Han Shuangji walked out of the school, Min Ye stayed outside early and opened the car door for him in advance.
"Ancestor, I'm the ancestor." Min Ye was so anxious that he couldn't help but mutter, "Didn't we agree to come out immediately after class? Why are you 3 minutes late?"
"My classmates are looking for me." Han Shuangji looked out the window, "I am a student, and I need to maintain a normal relationship with classmates."
Min Ye muttered, "You don't come to school often."
Han Shuangji didn't answer, but instead asked, "Where are you going?"
"Meet with the main creator of the film. In the next few days, "Like Love" will have several road shows, so don't think about being idle."
Movie roadshows are generally held before the release.But throughout September, Han Shuangji had to do military training, and was also nervous about the schoolwork that had just started.In addition, Frost Ji himself wanted to keep the movie mysterious and didn't want to reveal the plot in advance.
Therefore, the working team arranged the time of the road show after the release, and the locations were mainly selected in the central areas of major cities.
There are so many big cities in China, during the road show promotion period, Frost Ji had to catch two or three planes a day.The trajectory runs through the whole country, and it is hard to think about it.
However, Han Shuangji couldn't be lazy.
Because of the starring role in the movie, there is only his name.
"The roadshow schedule has been sent to you. It is expected to go to [-] cities and hold [-] roadshows." Seeing that he was silent, Min Ye continued, "The company has discussed with the crew for a long time, and finally decided You must go to the next performances. For the work, you may have to work hard."
"Hmm." Han Shuangji flipped through the list of events and asked, "Can I still make comments now?"
Min Ye was stunned for a few seconds, his tone full of embarrassment, "The theater and the audience have communicated. There may be some discussions about changing the time, but there is no discussion about canceling it."
"I don't plan to touch these." Han Shuangji closed the form and said calmly, "I want to add one."
Min Ye: ...?
He's crazy.
**
Due to the temporary revision of the script by the main creative team, Lin Yuan's movie, which was originally scheduled to be finalized in mid-September, was delayed until the end of September.After staying up for several nights in a row, the filming was finally finished.
In this regard, the director is quite regretful, "It was originally planned to be released at the end of the year, but judging by the current situation, I am afraid it will not be able to catch up."
Lin Yuan changed his costume, and when he passed by the director, he took advantage of the situation and said, "Try to avoid this year."
"why?"
Lin Yuan: "Nian Ba has already been booked by other works, and it may be difficult to surpass."
"can you?"
People are puzzled.
"I remember that this year's highest box office was [-] billion yuan, which is weaker than the previous two years."
"Mr. Lin Yuan, your leading work has an average box office of 50 billion. Why are you afraid of it?"
"I didn't mean that one." Lin Yuan didn't say it clearly, but looked sideways slightly, "Goodbye. I hope that when we meet next time, you will still have confidence in me."
Watching him go away, the on-site staff expressed their confusion.
"I always feel that there is something in Teacher Lin's words."
"I agree, he seems to be taunting us in a strange way."
"Ah, yes, yes, Lin Yuan must have been infected by his boyfriend!"
"Ah!" Someone exclaimed, "Mr. Lin's Nian Ba's work, could it be "Ru Ai" starring his boyfriend?"
"How is it possible? It has been discussed 100 times in the circle. If "Like Love" can break the one billion mark at the box office, there will be different people performing handstands washing their hair at the same time, eating raw bitter melon mixed with Houttuynia cordata live, and copying "Ruai" by hand. Script [-] times and so on."
"So exciting?" The girl took out her phone on the spot, "Then I must contribute a ticket to "Like Love"!"
At the same time, Lin Yuan separated from the management team and went to the agreed place to find Han Shuangji alone.
When parting, Meng Hai urged repeatedly, "I have no other requirements, but you must draw the curtains, please!"
Lin Yuan thought he was annoying, so he raised the car window, blocked Meng Hai, who was earnestly speaking, from the car window, started the engine and drove away.
Following the navigation instructions, Lin Yuan came all the way to the core area of the city.
The road is flat and wide, surrounded by high-rise buildings, and each high-rise building has a striking name.Similar to a certain group, a certain company, and a certain headquarters.
Lin Yuan turned a corner, and a dark building appeared in front of him.
The sky was getting dark, and the lights were not turned on up and down the building, which was in stark contrast to the crazy and involuntary working environment around.
The dim street lamps on the side of the road cast light, and Lin Yuan observed carefully, and found that the walls of this building were newer than other buildings, and had probably been completely renovated.
All the eye-catching places on the outer wall do not have the company name.Lin Yuan pushed open the unlocked glass door and walked into the spacious and grand reception hall.Turn on the flashlight of the mobile phone, only to see the writing on the wall.
'Frost Day's Brokerage Company'
'Temporarily call this'
'I haven't decided on the official name yet, let's change it later. '
Lin Yuan chuckled, "It's a bit casual."
As soon as the voice fell, the overhead lights turned on, and the whole floor was immediately brightly lit.
"Hello." Han Shuangji held onto the railing on the second floor, leaned out to look at him, "Are you mocking me?"
"Have it?"
"Yes." Han Shuangji narrowed his eyes, "This behavior will easily make you lose your boyfriend."
Lin Yuan looked around, but couldn't find the stairs.
He could only raise his head and talk to Han Shuangji from the air.
"I just think the company name you chose is very interesting."
"Who would believe you?" Han Shuangji let go of the railing, stepped back half a step, and disappeared from Lin Yuan's sight.
The voice did not disappear, and continued to reach Lin Yuan's ears.
"It's hard for me to forgive you. Be careful next time, don't speak ill of Future Company." When Han Shuangji spoke, there was a clear sound of going downstairs.
Lin Yuan looked over, turned around, and saw Han Shuangji appearing in front of him.
Lin Yuan heard the deep meaning in his words and asked, "Do you want to sign a contract with me?"
"Yeah." Han Shuangji raised his eyes and looked up at the office building that couldn't see the top, "You see, my company is so big, I really need a powerful pillar. Besides, playing office romance seems quite exciting."
"I see. No wonder you called me to the company."
"Before then." Han Shuangji looked at Lin Yuan again, her beautiful eyebrows slightly frowned, "You should break up with the original company first."
Han Shuangji stared straight at him, as if accusing the broken scumbag with his eyes.
Lin Yuan was very innocent, "Did I tell you that I have always had a temporary appointment with my current brokerage company?"
"Huh?" Han Shuangji couldn't believe it, "Is your agency a charity?"
The entertainment industry is a cannibalistic place.
Many brokerage companies sign a contract with an artist, and must find ways to extend the contract period, increase the cost of breach of contract, and hold the artist firmly in their own hands.
For many young idols and young actors who have just debuted, their brokerage contracts start at five years, and there are even eight-year or ten-year overlord contracts.If you want to terminate the contract early, the liquidated damages can be tens of millions.
When a black-hearted capitalist encounters a cash cow, he can't wait to uproot it.With Lin Yuan's conditions and worth, it is not too much for the brokerage company to sign a lifetime contract with him.
How could he kindly give him a temporary contract?
Lin Yuan explained, "Actually, I didn't intend to enter the entertainment industry."
"I know." Han Shuangji nodded, "You are an artist who hasn't broken away from vulgar tastes."
Lin Yuan did not refute, and continued, "At first, scouts found me and invited me to shoot a movie. However, I was more inclined to draw in my heart. After discussion, I decided to sign a contract for the duration of the filming period, for a period of one year."
"The filming of that film ended, and the producer introduced me to a new crew, and another film was made."
"Later, two films were released one after the other, let's count the box office and word-of-mouth success." Lin Yuan spread his hands and told him solemnly, "The brokerage company wanted to sign a contract with me, but found that they couldn't sign me."
"Tsk, your company is not good." Han Shuangji commented, "Is it expensive to sign you?"
Lin Yuan said uncertainly, "Maybe?"
In fact, Lin Yuan has no specific knowledge of his worth.
However, according to the industry, if small and medium-sized companies want to get Lin Yuan, they must be prepared to 'take ten years of net profit'.
And even if you get it, with Lin Yuan's status, there is no way to completely control it.
Frost Ji didn't think so.
He raised two fingers and said confidently, "Two words, let you stick to me."
"Appreciate further details."
Han Shuangji reached out her hand, hooked his chin, and gently raised it.
The light in his eyes flickered on and off, making it clear that he wanted to plot against him.
The light-colored lips opened and closed, and the voice seemed to be fatally bewildered.
"come here."
"Stay with me."
"……it is good."
Lin Yuan's sad discovery——
He seems to be a love brain.
Han Shuangji specially called Lin Yuan to the company, of course not for visiting.
Because the company is close to the school.Frost Ji will go to the vicinity of the school next, which can save a lot of time for going back and forth.
After the military training, he determined to be a pig, and every step he took was counted as a step.
The system calendar changed from September to October, and the system displayed 00:00, the movie "Like Love" was officially released.
The audience who bought the first premiere ticket in advance walked into the cinema without knowing anything about the movie.
The movie theater was full of people late at night.Because the long holiday starts tomorrow, most people don't have the target to go to bed early and get up early, so they can party until dawn.
Many audiences who are curious about movies and eager to see the finished film as soon as possible call their friends and walk into the movie theater.
In addition to movie tickets, various drinks and snacks are also sold in the cinema.The length of each film is usually about two hours.Many people feel that sitting is boring, so they will choose Coke and popcorn as standard for watching movies.
Fang Qianqian handed the big bucket of popcorn she bought to Hao Min.I ran to the ticket vending machine by myself and bought another movie ticket for the same show.
"Qianqian, have you lost your movie ticket?" Hao Min felt strange, "Why do you want to buy another one?"
Fang Qianqian replied, "I didn't lose it. Han Shuangji asked me to buy one for him."
"Frost Ji?" Hao Min was even more puzzled, "Is he coming too?"
"I heard he's going to a road show in other provinces tomorrow. How could he come?" Fang Qianqian got the ticket, took a photo and sent it to Han Shuangji, and said casually, "He should want to participate in the class's group activities."
"Oh, then we will help Han Shuangji check the tickets later." After Hao Min finished speaking, she heard the announcement on the radio, and hall 4 began to check tickets for entry.
The two class committee members picked up the big bucket of popcorn and hurried over to join other students.
This cinema is very close to the school, and almost all the audience waiting for the ticket check-in are schoolmates.
In addition to the screenwriting class, Chen Youyue's acting class also came to the cinema group building collectively.
But the movie ticket in their hands is another movie.
It is said that the big stars surnamed Chen are very generous, inviting them to watch all the popular movies during the Golden Week, except "Like Love".
Moreover, Chen Youyue also paid for the popcorn and drinks during the movie watching.
The students only thought that Chen Youyue was generous, but only Chen Youyue knew the real intention.
——Invite someone to contribute to the box office of other films and overwhelm "Like Love".
At that time, the cold frost of the work hitting the street will become the laughing stock of thousands of people.
"Your class is watching "Like Love". It's so good. I wanted to choose it too."
While queuing up to check tickets, the male student from the acting class ran over to strike up a conversation with the female student from the screenwriting class.
"After you finish watching, can you tell me about the plot?"
"No." The female classmate flatly refused, "No screenwriter wants his work to be spoiled in advance."
The boy bumped his nose and looked for the steps by himself, "Uh, I'll take some time to look for myself."
The students in the screenwriting class checked their tickets and entered the No. 4 viewing hall.
It was already very late, and the attendance rate of Hall 4 was still considerable.Except for the last two rows, the front was almost full of spectators.
Hao Min sat in her seat, looked back, and asked Fang Qianqian in a low voice, "When you bought the ticket just now, was there anyone in the last two rows?"
"Yes." Fang Qianqian replied with certainty, "I thought that Han Shuangji would not come, and I originally wanted to buy a corner seat so as not to affect other audiences. But I couldn't choose the last two rows, so I had to buy the front seat."
"That's weird."
"What's wrong? Maybe the people who bought the tickets thought it was too late and didn't want to come." Fang Qianqian stuffed the Coke into her hand, "Don't worry about other things. Look, it's about to start."
"Oh!" Hao Min hurriedly turned her head and waited for the movie to be played with full concentration.
Until the official release, the crew of "Like Love" has never announced the plot introduction and trailer.
The first batch of audiences who entered the theater couldn't even see the film reviews, and walked into the cinema with the mood of "unblinding the box".
Some people think that "Like Love" is about love, some people think that "Like Love" is about friendship, and some people think that "Like Love" has no theme.
Until the first scene of the film appeared on the big screen, it seemed that they were sentenced: You guessed wrong.
At the beginning of the film, in the white hospital corridor, it seems that the smell of disinfectant can be smelled through the camera.
At the end of the corridor, the psychological consultation room.
Frost Ji was wearing a loose hospital gown, and sat there wearily.
People are clearly alive, but they seem to be lifeless.
The doctor asked, "Name."
"Chu Ai."
"age."
"16 is old."
He was like a marionette, fiddled and turned, numb to deal with all problems.
Only when he mentioned 'gender cognitive impairment', he obviously paused for a few seconds, unwilling to accept it.
The doctor ignored the boy's weak resistance, picked up the medical records and went outside, and said to the two middle-aged people.
"Your child's situation is quite serious. A boy who looks good, but wants to be a woman even more, is it plausible?"
"If he doesn't correct it, his life will be ruined."
In the consultation room, Chu Ai slowly raised her head when she heard their conversation.
The camera zoomed in, zoomed in on the boy's handsome face, and zoomed in again.
Gasps and screams resounded one after another in the auditorium, and a few swear words could be faintly heard.
"Depend on!"
"It's a bit too beautiful."
"Han Shuangji's face is really suitable for the big screen."
In the boy's eyes as dark as night, the list of production staff gradually emerged.
The leading role was written on the first line, with three big characters shining brightly, which caused another burst of meaningless shouts.
"Minmin." Fang Qianqian touched Hao Min and whispered to her, "I suddenly felt that "Like Love" should be pretty good."
"You only feel it now?" Hao Min glanced at her in the midst of her busy schedule, and her gaze was glued back to the screen.
Fang Qianqian defended weakly, "I didn't know what "Like Love" was about before, so I went to the cinema purely out of support for my classmates."
"Then you earned it, take a good look."
"Hmm!" Fang Qianqian sat up straight and glanced behind her.I found the last two rows, and I don't know when someone was sitting.
She didn't take it to heart and concentrated on enjoying the movie.
After the credit list was released, the movie transitioned.
There was thunder in the sky, and heavy rain fell from the sky.
The rain covered the small village, and Chu Ai hid in the dark and small house.The rural self-built houses have been in disrepair for a long time, and the rain leaking from the roof wets half of the bed.
He hugged his knees and hid in a corner, put the washbasin in the middle of the bed to catch water, and kept his eyes open all night without sleep.
The crowing of the rooster awakens the dawn.Grandpa came out with his coat on, took out eggs from the chicken coop, and made breakfast for his cousin.
Passing by the small earthen house in the yard that was used to store firewood, he opened the tattered curtain and looked inside.Seeing that the bed was wet again, she cursed and reprimanded Chu Ai, threatening him not to have breakfast.
Chu Ai didn't make any excuses, packed her schoolbags, and fed pig grass to the pigs at home.Then I walked to school on the half-light path.
The school is ten miles away from home, and my cousin can go there by bicycle.Chu Ai can't do it, she leaves early and returns late day after day.
Some people saw Chu Ai's thin back on the road, whispered to each other, and told about his tragic life experience.
Outside the screen, the audience watched with anxiety, wishing they could rush into the screen to hug the child walking alone at night.
At school, Chu Ai's experience was still miserable.
The classmates around him called him a wild child that his parents didn't want, a sissy.Bullying Chu Ai has gradually become the mainstream, if you don't scold him, you just don't fit in.
Chu Ai endured everything silently, and he didn't have his first line until the movie started four and a half minutes into the movie.
The new teacher found that Chu Ai was injured, and called him to the office to ask what happened, did it hurt.
Chu Ai didn't say the reason, but lowered her head and replied, "It doesn't hurt."
"This is the third time this month." The new teacher couldn't just ignore the school violence and asked Chu Ai to call the parents over.
Chu Ai panicked, and humbly begged the teacher not to tell grandma and grandpa.
Grandma and grandpa always thought Chu Ai was burdensome. If he caused trouble at school, no matter right or wrong, they would definitely teach Chu Ai a lesson.
Seeing that he was afraid of being like this, the teacher had no choice but to stabilize Chu Ai first, secretly worried.
In the early stage of the film, the atmosphere is particularly depressing.
Bada uses the delicate lens that he is best at to create Chu Ai surrounded by malice.
It didn't take long for an extremely bad bullying incident to occur in the school.More than a dozen boys blocked Chu Ai in the toilet and forced him to take off his pants to verify his gender. If he resisted, he would be beaten.
When the teacher found Chu Ai, he was lying in a dirty toilet, badly injured.
In desperation, the teacher sent Chu Ai to the hospital in the town without caring about notifying the school and parents.
That was Chu Ai's first contact with the outside world.
Even if it's just an inconspicuous remote small town.
For the first time, the boy's eyes lit up.
Later, Chu Ai looked for an opportunity to escape from the village where she was imprisoned.
At this point, the plot of the movie is officially launched.Later, Chu Ai met many people, and through countless gains and losses, she clarified the meaning of her existence.
He learned to persevere, learn to fight, and learn to dominate his own life.
At the end of the film, he completely broke away from his original family.Enter the university of your choice to study, find a part-time job you like, and rely on your own will to enter the psychological consultation room again.
The young female doctor told him, "According to my judgment, you are not sick."
"be yourself."
After the feature film ended, no one left the screening hall, and there were occasional sobs in the silent air.
Until the ending song is played, the sunlight shining through the screen seems to be able to illuminate every inch of darkness.
Chu Ai rented a cozy little house and arranged it as she liked.In the morning, he cooked himself a bowl of wanton noodles to feed himself well.Then he took out the red dress bought by a part-time job from the closet, solemnly cut off the tag, and put it on himself.
"Hi, I'm Chu Ai who is here for the interview."
The interviewer looked him up and down, "It's pretty, take a turn."
"Okay." Chu Aiyi turned around in a circle, her skirt blooming like a rose.
The interviewer said, "Well, I passed."
Chu Ai thought for a while, then reminded in a low voice, "By the way, I'm a boy."
"I know, isn't it written in your profile?" The interviewer glanced at him casually, "It's the 21st century, and no one here discriminates against transgender people."
In the last shot, freeze frame and Frost Ji's beautiful face.
The lights in the auditorium come on, signaling the official end of the movie.
The audience was left unsatisfied.
"Gone?"
"Who told me that Frost Ji played the role of a beauty in women's clothing? It's just one shot from the beginning to the end of the women's clothing, and it's still an easter egg."
"I'm crying. I thought he would definitely go to Lin Yuan after he was admitted to university."
"I beg the screenwriter to write a sequel, I can be single, Chu Ai must get love!"
"Wooooow, my eyes are swollen from crying."
"I didn't prepare well before I came, and I missed a lot of details. I have to do it again tomorrow."
"Anyway, the movie theater is closed, can you pay them to show it again?"
"Probably not."
A clear and pleasant voice came from the back row, very similar to the protagonist who made them cry just now.
Frost Ji brought along the main creator of the movie, as well as Lin Yuan who played a guest role.As if appearing out of thin air, he walked from the back to the front of the auditorium.
"First of all, thank you for supporting the premiere of "Like Love"."
"really?"
Everyone couldn't believe their eyes.
"In the middle of the night, why is Frost Ji here?"
"Because our class organizes team building." Han Shuangji replied solemnly, "I have to show that I am a gregarious person, otherwise I will be isolated."
