Chapter 65
"Where the Sky Ends" is a healing book. It quickly climbed onto the annual bestseller list in the year of its publication and stayed on the list for more than three years before falling out of the top ten.
The plot is simple: the protagonist, exhausted from struggling in the big city, meets a patient through a carrier pigeon. The two gradually become friends, encouraging each other. The protagonist gradually recovers from his slump, his career progresses, and the patient is encouraged to undergo risky treatment. The story concludes with the patient undergoing a crucial surgery, with a chance of recovery if successful. The protagonist arranges a visit with the patient after the surgery is successful.
Perhaps it is precisely this exhausted social animal protagonist that resonates with many readers, coupled with Ran Liuyin's fresh and soothing writing style, which makes people feel extremely warm when reading it, that makes this book such a best-seller.
In fact, Ran Liuyin had previously approached several companies about purchasing the copyright. However, because the story in the book was too bland, the film and television production companies all insisted on adding more dramatic conflict or a lingering love story. This was why Ran Liuyin had always refused to sell the rights. The reason for the successful deal with Xingchen this time was also because He Tong wanted to film the simple story in the book.
He Tong actually stumbled upon this book while browsing a fan group and saw a discussion about it. They said the protagonist was perfect for Ye Yuze, which prompted him to look for it. Since The Painter, he hadn't been able to find a film script suitable for Ye Yuze, but this story instantly captivated him.
Not to mention the fans of Tongze, "The End of the Sky" has always been within their scope of discussion, and they were ecstatic when they saw the official announcement.
Xingchen’s official Weibo account was soon flooded with countless comments from fans of Tongze and the book.
Seeing the stars I admire acting in my favorite books again is so exciting! I contributed to this; I even emailed the studio to recommend it! Raising my hands like crazy.jpg Mrs. Liushui Tingyin once said she didn't sell the film and television rights because she didn't want them to be tampered with. Now that it's been sold to Xingchen, does that mean they'll stick to the original story? It couldn't be better! [thumbs-up] I've never understood why the book sold so well, which shows so many people love it. Why do film and television adaptations have to cram in all that crap? Other companies just didn't know what they were talking about. Anyway, wait for Tongze! I get a little secretly happy when I think about Master Ze playing a 996 office worker like me. [hahaha] Hahaha, wake up, sister above! Ze Zai is just acting, but we're actually living the 996. Laughing and crying.jpg Of course, there are also the haters who always pop up.
[These two shameless resource-rich guys are leveraging their connections to Chairman Qiming's wife to get resources again. Ugh!] [They've already circled the main cast before the director's even been decided. Xingchen, can you guys have some shame?] [Do those two have to spend money to get a role? Do they just snatch roles without even auditioning? Would other artists tolerate that?] The haters kept arguing with the resource-rich guys, making even passersby lose interest in joining in the discussion. Netizens tacitly ignored them, silencing the mindless comments.
However, at this time Fang Chen was also asking about the director.
"If we want to finish filming this one before Director Ou's romantic drama, the crew needs to hurry up and prepare. Which director do you think would be suitable?"
He Tong was still searching, comparing and thinking, but Ye Yuze was the first to make a suggestion.
Ye Yuze said, "Let's go find Director Yu."
He Tong was stunned, then thought about it carefully and felt that Yu Zheng's style was quite suitable for this kind of healing and refreshing film.
He was immediately amused: "Yes, Director Yu is just the right person. By the way, ask Editor Yu if he is interested in adapting the script. Let's get together with the original team."
The chief steward Fang Chen diligently took notes: "Okay, I'll contact them and ask later."
◇◆◇
The filming of "Dream Travel" is progressing smoothly.
The film and television city in E City was newly opened, and the hotel was built directly inside. There were not many reporters and paparazzi who could sneak in, but there was no news that Ye He and the others were filming.
That morning, He Tong had to shoot a rain scene, which required him to run nearly fifty meters in the heavy rain while also performing a performance to the air.
In the plot, Xuan Meng, transformed into a black cat, will follow him. However, firstly, the cat demon in the plot is protected by true qi and will not be affected by the rain, and secondly, it is impossible to let Xiao Meng run in the rain, so in the actual filming, only He Tong was there, and the cat was composited in later.
From an acting perspective, this scene wasn't difficult, but when shooting this kind of shot, you always have to retake it for reasons like the wind direction being wrong, the rain effect not being good, or even the hem of the clothes not looking good, so it's not easy to shoot.
He Tong first tried to shoot it, then came back with a towel and a bath towel wrapped around his head, waiting for Liu Yuci to watch the playback.
Liu Yuci looked at him for a long time, then waved to him.
He Tong walked over and asked, "Director Liu, what's wrong?"
"The effect is good, the movements and expressions are all good, but..." Liu Yuci pointed at the screen, "Here, the clothes are sticking to the body, and the abdominal muscles can be seen."
He Tong leaned over to take a look. The brown clothes on his body were soaked and stuck to his abdomen, and the muscle lines could indeed be seen.
"A web writer who hasn't exercised in years can't possibly have abs." Liu Yuci patted him, "Let the makeup artist come up with a solution. I'll save this clip for you as a promotional clip to show off your physique."
He Tong had no choice but to come back and discuss it with Xiaoyu and Aya. This was actually a sweet problem.
Aya managed to put a towel under the vest he was wearing.
Ye Yuze frowned and watched from the side: "You should blow dry your hair first."
He Tong smiled nonchalantly: "It's almost dry. I'll have to shower in a while anyway."
After struggling for more than ten minutes, I finally managed to successfully cover my abdominal muscles without looking unnatural.
After that, including the reshoots, He Tong ran three times before he finally passed this one.
As soon as Liu Yuci said it was okay, Ye Yuze immediately urged He Tong to take a shower. He also asked Xiao Zheng to go to the milk tea shop to buy ginger tea in advance and gave He Tong a large cup.
But even so, when the show was over in the afternoon, Ye Yuze still felt that something was wrong with He Tong's aura. He put his hand on He Tong's forehead and felt it, and his face darkened.
"Call the team doctor over, He Tong has a fever." Ye Yuze ordered Xiao Zheng in a calm voice.
Xiao Zheng ran away quickly.
He Tong raised his hand and touched his forehead in a daze: "I have a fever?"
Ye Yuze said to Lingling, "Go ask Director Liu for leave. We'll take a break tomorrow."
Lingling also hurried there.
He Tong, whose reaction had become a little slow, smiled and said, "That's not an exaggeration. Take a pill and have a good sleep. You'll be fine tomorrow."
Ye Yuze glared at him: "The patient has no right to say that."
He Tong wasn't afraid of him either. He took his hand and tickled his palm, coaxing him softly, "Yes, yes, I'll listen to you."
Soon the doctor and Liu Yuci arrived.
The doctor examined He Tong and said, "It's 37.8 degrees Celsius, a low-grade fever. I think you caught a cold from running around in the water this morning. Take some medicine tonight and observe the situation. If there's no improvement tomorrow, go to the hospital. If the condition stabilizes, take a day to rest and recuperate."
Liu Yuci also nodded and said, "Your health is important, you should go back and rest."
Ye Yuze directly pulled He Tong back to the hotel room, and asked Xiao Zheng to temporarily send the black cat Xiaomeng's things to assistant Liu Yuci.
"Just lie down for a while, I'll order some food."
As he spoke, Ye Yuze was flipping through the hotel menu to find food suitable for the patient. As a result, out of the corner of his eye, he saw He Tong enter the bedroom, rummage through his luggage, and walk towards the bathroom.
Ye Yuze looked up: "What are you doing?"
He Tong was a little puzzled: "Take a shower."
Ye Yuze frowned: "You're taking a shower even though you have a fever!"
He Tong didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "It's just a low-grade fever, no need to be so nervous... Besides, I'm sweaty and dusty after filming all day, how can I sleep without taking a shower?"
Ye Yuze could only nod reluctantly: "Then turn up the water temperature and don't wash for too long."
He Tong winked playfully: "As you wish!"
While washing, He Tong was still worried about what his brother Ye would order. He thought he might ask for porridge. Although he didn't dislike porridge, it would make him hungry easily.
Only when he came out and saw chicken, eggs, tomatoes and white rice did he secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
After the two of them had finished their meal, Ye Yuze watched He Tong take his medicine at the right time and then sent him to bed.
But He Tong was so excited that he couldn't sleep at all.
In his previous life, he was the one who took care of Ye Yuze. Now he is sick and Ye Yuze is taking care of him. This experience is really new.
He watched Ye Yuze carefully add warm water to two thermos cups, then place them on the bedside, then turned around and took his cell phone away.
"Would you like some water?"
He Tong shook his head, smiled and pulled his brother Ye's hand: "No."
"If you don't drink, go to sleep."
"I can't sleep so early." He Tong said coquettishly, "Please coax me to sleep."
Ye Yuze pulled his hand away and patted his head: "Lie down with your eyes closed, and don't play with your phone. I'm going to wash up."
He Tong lay there obediently without touching his phone, but he didn't close his eyes. He happily watched people walk in and out, and finally walked to his side.
Ye Yuze checked He Tong's temperature again and found that it had dropped to 37.2 degrees. He felt a little relieved and lay down on the bed to accompany him.
He Tong moved over and nudged the person, sighing, "I can't even remember the last time I was sick."
Ye Yuze pulled the quilt over him and said, "In the second semester of your sophomore year, play basketball in the rain."
He Tong blinked: "Really? It seems that I am prone to catching colds when I get caught in the rain."
"Now that you know, don't get caught in the rain. If you get wet, blow dry your hair immediately. I shouldn't have indulged you this morning."
Ye Yuze hugged He Tong and touched his back to see if he was sweating. Finding that it was dry, he patted him.
"Go to sleep quickly and get more rest so you can get better quickly."
However, He Tong had been cared for by his brother Ye all night, and now he was hugged and patted on the back, so he had no desire to sleep.
He looked at his lover right in front of him, couldn't help licking his lips, and teased, "I really can't sleep. How about you help me sweat? Isn't it said that sweating can reduce fever?"
Ye Yuze narrowed her beautiful peach blossom eyes slightly and stared at him for a long time.
He Tong felt guilty after being looked at, and laughed out loud, "How about singing a lullaby for me?"
Ye Yuze turned over and sat up, continuing to look down at him...
An hour later, He Tong, who was sweating all over, had to get up and take another shower.
Ye Yuze calmly ordered room service to change the sweat-soaked sheets.
