Chapter 452: Dreams 20 Years Later
Zhang Nuanxin is a director.
Although she rarely makes films on her own now, she is a capable assistant to several famous directors.
For example, Director Xie Jin, for example...
While assisting these directors, Zhang Nuanxin naturally learned a lot from what she saw and heard.
Various story segments, various plot designs, and various character expressions...
It was precisely because of these designs that when Cheng Xuyuan raised the question, Zhang Nuanxin directly gave the most familiar answer.
The answer was a scene she had once wanted to learn.
And then, she saw Cheng Xuyuan's wine spilled.
Seeing Cheng Xuyuan lose control of his emotions, both Zhang Nuanxin and Li Tuo were shocked.
They seemed to have seen something.
Looking at the ill-intentioned Li Tuo couple, Cheng Xuyuan hurriedly said, "Don't let your imagination run wild. I just... I just didn't hold it firmly."
But even though he said this, his heart was filled with turmoil.
Is Shen Yumo pregnant? Impossible!
Not to mention that he had only been with her once, and... and when he went to see her some time ago, she was still very normal.
How can you get pregnant?
If she was pregnant, would Shen Yulin say nothing?
In a flash, Cheng Xuyuan calmed down again.
He couldn't help but ask, "Sister Nuanxin, you...how did you come up with this conclusion that you're pregnant?"
Zhang Nuanxin looked at Cheng Xuyuan with a serious expression, and ten thousand thoughts quickly flashed through her mind.
But she knew that sometimes it was not easy to ask about such things.
Even though we are friends with each other, sometimes it is easy to create estrangement if we ask too many questions.
So at this moment, she said whatever she wanted to say: "This is a plot in our movie, designed to show the girl's brother who is hesitant to speak..."
Cheng Xuyuan's mind raced, but he couldn't remember what movie it was.
But in his memory, in many scenes of movies and TV dramas, a girl would get pregnant, and her brother would rush to her boyfriend and force him to take responsibility, whether by beating him or scolding him.
It doesn't seem right to be hesitant to speak!
"Sister Nuanxin, I think there is something wrong with your plot."
Cheng Xuyuan immediately listed out all the analyses of these in his memory.
As a director, Zhang Nuanxin is also an expert in this area.
So after listening to Cheng Xuyuan's words, she nodded gently and said, "Xuyuan, what you said makes a lot of sense, so we didn't use this plot in the end."
"If you hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have remembered it."
Hearing this, Cheng Xuyuan was speechless. He really wanted to sigh, "Sister, you know, scaring others can kill them."
Can you analyze it according to the mature plot? "Xuyuan, your sister-in-law often can't distinguish between reality and movies."
"Sometimes, when we are doing housework at home, she will suddenly think of the scenes in the movie. Let's stop talking and drink." Li Tuo raised his glass and said to Cheng Xuyuan.
Cheng Xuyuan drank two more glasses of wine and stopped drinking. He said goodbye to Li Tuo and left.
Li Tuo sent Cheng Xuyuan out of the house, and then said to Zhang Nuanxin mysteriously: "Wife, did you see what Xuyuan did just now?"
"Why do I feel like he's a bit guilty?"
Zhang Nuanxin glared at Li Tuo and said, "Alright, stop interfering in the affairs of young people."
"Just do your own thing."
"By the way, I met Teacher Zou today."
After hearing Zhang Nuanxin say that she met Zou Yanlai, Li Tuo seemed to have thought of something and said, "Oh, my head hurts a bit. Let's talk about it later if we have anything to say."
As he was speaking, Li Tuo was about to leave.
But Zhang Nuanxin grabbed him and said, "Teacher Zou said that you are very talented, even as talented as Cheng Xuyuan."
When Li Tuo heard this, he interrupted Zhang Nuanxin and said, "Wife, when we talk, we must be honest."
"I admit that I have some talent, but you can't just talk nonsense to motivate me."
"What do you mean by not inferior to Cheng Xuyuan? Isn't this just a lie!"
"There is still a huge gap between Cheng Xuyuan and me!"
At this point, he sighed and said, "This kind of thing really can't be forced."
"Cheng Xuyuan went to the United States and wrote seven or eight short stories, all of which were set in the United States. He was even popular in the United States."
"Do you think I, your husband, can do it?"
Zhang Nuanxin was speechless for a while. She naturally knew her husband's level.
In terms of talent, he is definitely superior to others, but it depends on who you compare him with.
Compared to the monster Cheng Xuyuan, it seems that he is indeed a little bit inferior! In a flash, she suddenly thought, were she and Li Tuo talking about talent?
This guy almost changed the subject.
Zhang Nuanxin, who had come to her senses instantly, said in a deep voice, "Lao Li, don't try to change the subject here."
"Yes, I admit that you are not as talented as Cheng Xuyuan."
"But there is a saying that goes, 'Diligence can make up for lack of talent.'"
"Do you know?"
"I admit that Cheng Xuyuan is more talented than you, but do you admit that you are not as hardworking as him?"
"Last year, Cheng Xuyuan had more than a dozen short stories to show for publication, not to mention his novels. His novels included not only "Soldiers Assault" but also works like "Things About the Ming Dynasty."
"How much did he write in a year? How many words did you write?"
Zhang Nuanxin's words immediately made Li Tuo's face droop.
He originally wanted to fool people, but looking at Zhang Nuanxin with shining eyes, he knew that this time, he really couldn't fool people.
However, Cheng Xuyuan is really a scary person.
Not only am I not as talented as him, but I am also far less diligent than this guy.
The most frightening thing in life is that there is someone who is not only smarter than you, but also more hardworking than you!
Finally, under Zhang Nuanxin's gaze, Li Tuo could only sigh in a sad tone: "How could I meet such a person?"
These words are full of helplessness.
Cheng Xuyuan didn't know that because of him, Li Tuo was the first to be punished.
While riding a bicycle, Cheng Xuyuan somehow thought of what Zhang Nuanxin said.
Shen Yumo is pregnant?
How is this possible? I clearly went to see Shen Yumo, and we met, but she didn't react at all.
How could she be pregnant?
Moreover, Zhang Nuanxin also said that this was just a movie plot they designed, and this plot did not seem to be very successful.
Probably not.
Although he thought so in his heart, Cheng Xuyuan's mind would occasionally pop up the thought that Shen Yumo was pregnant, which made him a little uneasy.
After returning to his residence, Cheng Xuyuan read a book for a while, then fell asleep on the bed with a lot on his mind.
Although he didn't drink too much this time, the three or two glasses of wine still made him fall asleep quickly.
In this dream, Cheng Xuyuan didn't know why, but he dreamed of Shen Yumo, who seemed to have aged a lot. He saw her pointing at a girl who looked to be in her twenties and said, "Cheng Xuyuan, this is your daughter."
"Baby, call daddy!"
When the girl, whose face Cheng Xuyuan had not yet seen clearly, called out "Dad", Cheng Xuyuan was suddenly awakened from his sleep.
The heating in the house was sufficient, and his back was covered with sweat.
Zhang Nuanxin has really done a lot of harm to others.
Her words made me dream so vividly that I had a daughter in her twenties. This was really...
Cheng Xuyuan was speechless for a while, then he glanced at his watch and found that it was only two o'clock in the morning.
Cheng Xuyuan wanted to calm down before going to sleep, but found that he couldn't fall asleep.
Lying on the bed with his eyes closed, Cheng Xuyuan felt that he was not sleepy at all.
Even if I closed my eyes, what I was thinking about in my mind was still what Zhang Nuanxin said.
In the end, Cheng Xuyuan, who tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, had to get up from the bed, wash his face, and start writing.
Fortunately, while writing, Cheng Xuyuan slowly put this matter behind him.
On the third day after he went to Li Tuo's house, he received a call from Zhang Nuanxin.
Zhang Nuanxin told him that Xie Jin had been very busy recently and there were a lot of things waiting for him to deal with in the East China Sea, so he really couldn't leave.
Because of this, Xie Jin specifically asked Zhang Nuanxin to apologize to Cheng Xuyuan on his behalf.
However, this is not the point. The point is that Xie Jin asked Zhang Nuanxin to send an invitation on his behalf, inviting Cheng Xuyuan to go to Donghai.
Not only are food and accommodation provided, but past travel expenses are also reimbursed.
And this travel fee is the air fare.
As long as Cheng Xuyuan agrees to go to Donghai, Xie Jin will coordinate the plane tickets.
After explaining Xie Jin's conditions, Zhang Nuanxin saw that Cheng Xuyuan did not respond immediately, so she said on the other end of the phone: "Xuyuan, this is Director Xie's greatest sincerity."
"After all, flying is not cheap."
"Besides, Director Xie said that it's boring for you to stay in Yanjing all the time. You might as well take this opportunity to come to Donghai and have a good look around."
"Not only can I get the job done, but I can also enjoy the scenery of the East China Sea. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"
Cheng Xuyuan hesitated for a moment, and the first thing he thought of was what Zhang Nuanxin said about being pregnant.
I have been feeling uneasy these days.
It would be better to go to the East China Sea and confirm it so that I can feel at ease.
Save yourself from getting anxious and causing trouble.
"Okay, I'll go over there." Cheng Xuyuan said, "Please tell Director Xie that I have my last exam the day after tomorrow."
"Just go over there after the exam."
take an exam?
After hearing this reason, Zhang Nuanxin didn't know how to comment for a moment.
"Okay, I'll tell Director Xie and ask him to book a ticket for you in time."
Putting down the phone, Cheng Xuyuan shook his head gently.
I am really a bit paranoid, but it would be nice to take a trip to the East China Sea.
What's more, you can go there by plane.
After settling this matter, Cheng Xuyuan felt a lot more relaxed. After explaining the cause of the matter to Fang Yuqing, he boarded a plane to Donghai the day after tomorrow evening.
The plane was very fast and landed in the East China Sea in just two or three hours.
Facing the dry and cold East China Sea, Cheng Xuyuan inexplicably felt a sense of eager anticipation in his heart.
Looking forward to solving the problem that kept him tossing and turning and unable to sleep at night because of Zhang Nuanxin's words.
Just as he walked out of the airport, he saw several people quickly coming towards him. The one walking in front was Xie Jin.
