☆, Chapter 45 You Just Laughed

"Is there?" Lu Congxu was ambiguous.

"You still don't admit it." Wen Mianyu said, "You just laughed."

"If you say there is one, then there is one." Lu Congxu did not argue with her.

"Obviously there is." Wen Mianyu sighed with emotion. It had been a long time since he saw Lu Congxu smile.

Since they met again after her rebirth, she has never seen Lu Congxu happy.

The man had deep features and sharp lines, which made him look a little unattainable and cold even when he had no expression on his face. But when he smiled, he was as warm as a spring breeze, and he was really handsome.

Wen Mianyu had always liked teasing Lu Congxu, and she still did so now. Before she could say something more, two screenwriters suddenly came in with a stack of scripts.

When Director Lin saw them arrive, he asked everyone to sit down on the carpet and began the first script discussion.

Everyone has read the script before. In addition to reviewing each other's lines and following the plot, everyone can also give opinions on their own roles and plot. Director Lin will adopt reasonable opinions and the screenwriter will make modifications as appropriate.

After the screenwriter sat down, he first explained the plot to everyone.

The movie "Youth" tells the life story of Wen Yuxian.

The male protagonist has lived in a drama troupe since he was a child and was brought up by his master. At the age of twelve, he was adopted by his father's old friend Duan's family. He and the Duan family's youngest daughter Duan Xiuhua are like brother and sister. One of them practices Peking Opera and the other loves Kunqu Opera. They fall in love with each other over time and secretly get married, but their identities hinder them and they encounter many twists and turns.

Wen Yuxian became famous throughout the city at the age of eighteen and became a popular female role, and was the most popular at the time.

However, due to the turbulent national situation, famous female roles were not as respected as they were later, and some people even compared them to actors and prostitutes.

Wen Yuxian has been looked down upon and insulted, but he has resisted stubbornly and has a rebellious nature. His entire theater was demolished because of his influence over the powerful. Later, he made friends with a warlord because of a play and accepted the son of the Gu family as his nominal apprentice.

Later, the Gu family fell into poverty. Wen Yuxian took care of Gu Ze, the son of an old friend, and raised him. During this time, he also took in the orphan Ling Xueqing as his apprentice. When he was over fifty years old, he was already a master of Peking Opera.

The two apprentices grew up, one played the male role and the other played the female role, and they were famous throughout the city. Everyone said that Mr. Wen had successors, but when the two apprentices were at the peak of their popularity, a scandal of them falling in love broke out.

The media was already well developed at that time, and there was even a photo taken, teasing that Ling Xueqing and Gu Zetai were pretending to be a couple, but it turned out that they were actually a couple in private.

Wen Yuxian was open-minded and generous. He did not take this matter seriously and stood up to speak for his two disciples, but was criticized without any distinction between right and wrong.

People were relatively conservative, opera fans could not understand, and colleagues also rejected and suppressed him. Mr. Wen moved back to his hometown, Qingzhu Island, with his wife to take care of his little granddaughter Wen Mianyu, and still insisted on singing opera.

At the end of the story, four generations of the Wen family live together. Wen Yuxian, who is nearly a hundred years old, puts on his theatrical costume and makes up, and sings a piece of Peony Pavilion to his children and grandchildren, looking the same as before.

The red curtain falls, swinging into a lifetime.

There are two conflicts in the story. One is that the hero and heroine fall in love with each other, and the other is that the two apprentices fall in love. However, due to their status, both of them feel a little unacceptable to the secular world.

Luo Zhifan had only read the first half of the script before, and this was the first time he read the second half. He was surprised to see that he and Shen Zui had a kissing scene.

"Director, can we use a different camera for this kissing scene?" he asked carefully.

In fact, asking this question would make him seem unprofessional. He had visited the studio before and the male and female protagonists would just go in and film the kissing scene.

But it was his first time filming a movie, and he had to challenge something so difficult... He was really a little nervous.

"No, this is a movie, it's different from making a TV series." Director Lin refused.

"Well..." Luo Zhifan expressed his wish tactfully, "This is my first time filming a movie, so I'm afraid I'm a little nervous..."
