Shen Huai and Pei Ran arrived at the agreed coffee shop in advance. Not long after they sat down, Cen Shu showed up on time.

Compared to the unkempt and unshaven image of ordinary photographers, Cen Shu looked very refined. He wore a three-piece suit with a tweed coat on the outside, his hair was neatly groomed, his beard was carefully trimmed, and when you approached him, you could smell the faint scent of wood perfume on him.

Cen Shu walked directly towards the two of them. When he saw Pei Ran, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it and nodded politely to the two of them before sitting down opposite them.

Shen Huai said, "Hello, Mr. Cen, I'm Shen Huai."

Cen Shu smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Shen,

I've heard of you for a long time." Before Pei Ran could speak, Cen Shu immediately said, "I already know why you two came. I'm very grateful for your appreciation, but sorry, I also have my principles. I admire you two very much. Maybe we can talk about other things, just as friends."

Cen Shu knew before that Shen Huai was looking for a photographer for his movie. Although he didn't want to offend him, so he came here, but he wouldn't break his principles, so he blocked the conversation as soon as he opened his mouth.

Shen Huai and Pei Ran looked at each other. Cen Shu was indeed more difficult to deal with than the rumors said. And from what he said, it can be seen that he is a strong person. If Shen Huai and Pei Ran tried to persuade him, I'm afraid he would just turn his face and leave.

Pei Ran hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Hello, Mr. Cen, my name is Pei Ran, and I'm the assistant photographer of the movie "Red Actress."

Cen Shu was stunned when he heard Pei Ran's name, and was stunned again when he heard his position. After all, with Pei Ran's face, he originally thought he would be an actor in the new movie, but he didn't expect him to be a photographer.

But then he frowned and said, "Mr. Pei, I don't want to talk about movies."

According to his temper, he should have left immediately, but the photographer was always particularly tolerant of beauty, so he just warned him.

Shen Huai was sweating in his heart, but Pei Ran was very calm, smiled, and said sincerely: "Mr. Cen, I just admire your photography skills and want to discuss with you. In case you feel that I am disrespectful, I will introduce myself in advance."

In fact, Cen Shu was not willing to talk about photography skills with others. In fact, he didn't want to talk about anything related to movies, lest they find a way to trick him.

Who knew that Pei Ran accurately grasped his thoughts, and the topic raised made him very interested, and Pei Ran's point of view also made him want to discuss it. The two of them ignored Shen Huai and chatted enthusiastically.

Shen Huai did not feel offended, but relieved. The most difficult step in this matter was to keep Cen Shu and get him talking. Pei Ran did this, and it would be easy to continue.

Pei Ran and Cen Shu chatted for more than half an hour. At the beginning, Pei Ran used words to guide Cen Shu. Later, Cen Shu became talkative and started to talk nonstop. Pei Ran stopped talking and just listened to him quietly.

Cen Shu was talking until his mouth was dry. He picked up the lemonade beside him and drank it in one gulp. Then he came to his senses and said a little embarrassedly: "It's a rare opportunity to meet a friend who can chat with me. I accidentally talked too much and neglected Mr. Shen. I'm sorry."

Shen Huai chuckled and said, "It's okay. I learned a lot from listening to you two chatting."

After saying so much, Cen Shu was not as defensive as he was at the beginning. He unbuttoned a button of his suit and said frankly: " At first I thought Mr. Shen was being rude because he wanted to invite me to be a cinematographer. Please forgive me. But now we are all friends. If Xiao Pei wants to discuss photography techniques, he can come to me anytime. If you are interested in documentaries and can endure hardships, you can join my filming team. "

When he said this, it seemed to bring them closer, but in fact it blocked what Shen Huai was about to say, which made Shen Huai feel tricky.

Pei Ran replied, "Since Teacher Cen said so, I have to be honest. I am the director of this play. I was worried that you would be angry, so I concealed my identity. Sorry."

Cen Shu widened his eyes and looked Pei Ran up and down: "Director?!"

He thought Pei Ran was an actor at first, and then Pei Ran said that he was a photography assistant. Although he looked a little young and didn't seem to be very strong, Cen Shu knew that if the family had some connections, it was common for young people to join the crew to learn and take the title of assistant to gain some experience.

Later, Pei Ran showed his understanding of photography technology, and he gradually accepted his identity.

But director? !

Cen Shu couldn't help but ask, "Excuse me, how old are you this year?"

Pei Ran calmly began to talk nonsense, "I'm already 25, but my face looks a little young."

Shen Huai: "..."

25 is not too young, although it is still too young for a director, but Cen Shu still breathed a sigh of relief, "It's true that heroes emerge from youth."

Pei Ran smiled and said, "It's rare that you would say that. Many people knew about it before and thought that Mr. Shen was confused and let an inexperienced kid like me take on such a big responsibility."

Cen Shu said contemptuously, "Mortals always use their experience to stop the pace of geniuses, but they don't know that geniuses are born to break the laws." By

saying this, he had already pulled Pei Ran and himself into the same camp.

Pei Ran smiled more deeply: "You are right, why bother about the opinions of ordinary people? Geniuses are born to break all the rules. As long as we understand what we are doing, it's fine."

Cen Shu was about to nod, but suddenly realized: "Oh, it turns out that you are trying to trick me!"

The atmosphere became tense again.

Pei Ran was unaware: "When I was chatting with you just now, I found that you are still paying attention to the filming technology of movies, the light processing and shooting parameters of green screen photography, which should be completely useless for documentaries, right?"

The smile on Cen Shu's lips fell completely, and he said nothing.

Pei Ran leaned forward slightly and whispered, "Teacher Cen, the best way to get revenge on someone is to defeat him in his professional field, what do you think?"

Cen Shu's body trembled slightly, and he had to admit that he was indeed deceived by Pei Ran's words just now, but he quickly came to his senses, stood up and said stiffly, "I am very happy to meet you two today. It's getting late, let me take my leave first." After he finished

speaking, he took his coat and left in a hurry without waiting for Shen Huai and Pei Ran to react.

Shen Huai looked at his back worriedly, but he didn't expect that he still messed up in the end.

Pei Ran, however, said in a relaxed attitude: "Don't worry, we haven't lost yet."

Shen Huai suddenly reacted: "You asked me to spread the word before, saying that An Yunhai is the photographer of Fu Cheng's new play. It was for this moment. Did you calculate it a long time ago?"

But he quickly shook his head, "But this is fake news, Cen Shu will know it as long as he checks it out."

Pei Ran smiled very confidently, "He won't check it out."

Shen Huai frowned slightly, "You mean, releasing this news is just to give Cen Shu a name to re-enter this circle?"

Pei Ran nodded, "I was not sure before, but after chatting with him, I was sure that a person who really likes movies will never let go of this world of light and shadow."

An Yunhai was the reason why Cen Shu left film photography. He is a senior photographer in the circle. After graduation, Cen Shu started working as a photography assistant for An Yunhai. The two had a dispute over the shooting method in the crew. Originally, the director admired Cen Shu's camera language, but in the end, in order to keep An Yunhai, he fired Cen Shu. Cen Shu was young and arrogant at the time, and in disappointment

, he said that he would never make a movie again. Over the years, as Cen Shu's fame rose, An Yunhai gradually turned to photography teaching and rarely participated in film production in person. In recent years, many people wanted to ask Cen Shu to shoot, but he rejected them all. So over time, everyone knew his temper and stopped bothering themselves.

After so many years, Cen Shu's initial resentment has gradually faded, and he recalled the feeling when filming the movie again. It's a pity that although he is talented, he is arrogant and has a strong self-esteem. He can't bring himself to look for others.

Pei Ran had watched Cen Shu's works before, as well as some of his information in recent years, and decided to use this method.

Pei Ran was very sure that Cen Shu would not care whether the news was true or false. As long as Pei Ran gave him a step, he would definitely follow it.

Shen Huai also understood Pei Ran's thoughts at this moment, and couldn't help but sigh that this method was probably only Pei Ran who could think of it, and only Cen Shu, who was so obsessed with movies, would be willing to be deceived even though he knew he was being deceived.

Now Shen Huai also thinks that Cen Shu will most likely join Pei Ran's crew, but in this case, he has a new worry: "Cen Shu has a strong personality, especially in his professional field. He is extremely conceited. I heard that in his filming crew, he is the one who has the final say. When he joins the crew, I am worried that he will do his own thing, which may also be a hidden danger."

Shen Huai's worry is not unfounded. Although Cen Shu is technically Very good, but his character is not good. Although Pei Ran lied to him, he understood when he arrived at the crew. What if the two of them did it against each other...

Pei Ran chuckled and moved his fingers. His knuckles made a "crackling" sound. His smile seemed to carry a bit of murderous intent: "Don't worry, I won't give him this opportunity."

Shen Huai: "..."

This is what I'm worried about, okay? !
