Chapter 453 I Have Confidence in You
"Xuyuan, I finally got you here!" Xie Jin held Cheng Xuyuan's hands tightly and shook them vigorously a few times, his expression full of excitement.
As for Xie Jin, he was really a little afraid that Cheng Xuyuan would not be able to come.
After all, things like including food, lodging, and round-trip air tickets are still attractive to most people, but for Cheng Xuyuan, the appeal of such things is really limited.
If he really couldn't leave, Xie Jin would have wanted to fly back to Yanjing by himself.
Unfortunately, at the end of the year, there are just too many things to do at work.
And there are many things that cannot be done without him.
So in the end, he asked Zhang Nuanxin to send out the invitation, regardless of whether Cheng Xuyuan would come or not, he would invite him first.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Xuyuan, contrary to his usual behavior, did not disappoint him and accepted the invitation, which made Xie Jin very happy.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Director Xie, I can't refuse your kindness, so I will come over."
"But Director Xie, my coming here this time may not necessarily satisfy you!"
Cheng Xuyuan is taking precautions to avoid the situation where the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
It’s not that he is being pretentious, but Cheng Xuyuan feels that this matter is really inappropriate.
When the few people following Xie Jin heard Cheng Xuyuan's words, their expressions suddenly became a little ugly.
In the film industry, no matter where, Director Xie's face is basically very useful.
Now, the guest invited by Director Xie said such words right from the start, which really makes people feel uncomfortable.
Just when someone was about to respond rudely, Xie Jin said with a smile: "Xuyuan, I think what you are thinking about is very reasonable."
“But I think this matter is not unsolvable.”
"So I invite you to come over and discuss it."
Hearing Xie Jin say this, Cheng Xuyuan's heart moved.
He said to Xie Jin with a hint of expectation: "Director Xie, if you have any good ideas, please tell me."
"I haven't yet." Xie Jin spread his hands and said, "But I believe that as long as we sit down and have a good discussion, we will definitely be able to come up with a solution."
These words left Cheng Xuyuan speechless.
He looked at Xie Jin, who was smiling, and said, "Director Xie, it seems that you have great confidence in the two of us."
"No, it should be that I have confidence in you." Xie Jin said, "You can run to Laomi and publish several high-quality novels."
"I think it shouldn't be difficult for you to change the background of the story."
At this point, Xie Jin said, "Let's go. I've already arranged everything. How about we go to the Donghai Restaurant and eat Hangzhou cuisine?"
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Xie Jin who hurriedly dragged him away without waiting for his answer, and said hurriedly: "Director Xie, I am going to see a friend. Otherwise, let's have a simple lunch and talk about other things in the evening."
"Xuyuan, I have found someone to accompany you." Xie Jin said with a smile, "Whoever the friend you are looking for is, I will ask someone to pick him up for you."
"It's a good opportunity to have a meal together."
Taking Shen Yumo over for a meal, what kind of situation is this?
Cheng Xuyuan said helplessly: "I'd better go there alone in the afternoon."
After some tugging and pulling, Cheng Xuyuan followed Xie Jin into the car.
This time, Xie Jin specially found a car to pick him up. Driving on the streets dominated by bicycles was really enjoyable.
Xie Jin was very familiar with the street scenes of Donghai, so he had a lot of fun introducing the scenery and historical stories to Cheng Xuyuan along the way.
"Old Xie, have you finished filming "The Garland on the Mountain"? " After the car passed a bridge, Cheng Xuyuan asked Xie Jin his question.
After the publication of "Greetings on the Mountain", Xie Jin prepared to shoot this movie.
And his reputation also ensured that this movie, which was valued by countless people, finally fell into his hands.
It's only been a few months, and Cheng Xuyuan feels that he won't be able to finish filming.
Xie Jin smiled and said, "The filming of this movie went smoothly, and everyone gave us the greatest support."
"It has entered post-production now, otherwise I wouldn't have the time to ask you to come over."
"It's hard to produce good works, and it's even harder to find good scripts!"
Cheng Xuyuan knew that this was said deliberately for him to hear.
But Cheng Xuyuan pretended not to understand what he meant, and said to Xie Jin with a smile: "Old Xie, I think you should combine work and rest."
"Don't push yourself too hard, it will do no good."
"After filming The Garland on the Mountain, I think you should take a break for a while."
Xie Jin said: "At my age, I have to seize every moment."
"Otherwise, you won't be able to do it when you get older."
Finally, at Xie Jin's insistence, Cheng Xuyuan came to the Donghai Hotel.
In addition to Cheng Xuyuan and Xie Jin, those who dined this time also included Xu Sangchu, the head of the Donghai Film Studio, as well as several directors and screenwriters. It was quite a lively occasion.
I don’t know if it’s because Cheng Xuyuan just arrived, so no one talked about the script adaptation.
Apart from chatting, we just talked about some literary anecdotes.
The less they mentioned it, the more Cheng Xuyuan felt that Xie Jin and others were determined to adapt his novel.
This time they drank rice wine. Cheng Xuyuan was very careful to control the amount when drinking, but he still drank too much.
This was not what he wanted, but people poured wine for him one by one, and Cheng Xuyuan still felt a little dizzy after drinking.
After being sent to the hotel, Cheng Xuyuan slept until the lights came on.
Looking at the night outside, Cheng Xuyuan shook his head helplessly.
When I came here, I had already planned to go find Shen Yumo in the afternoon, but I didn't expect that I would get drunk after one meal.
It’s dark now, how can I find Shen Yumo?
After taking a sip of water, Cheng Xuyuan walked out of the house and prepared to find something to eat.
But as soon as he opened the door, he saw a young man quickly approaching and saying, "Mr. Cheng, I'm Xiao Ma from the Donghai Film Studio. Director Xie arranged for me to accompany you for the next two days."
"If you have anything to do, just arrange it."
Looking at Xiao Ma, who had a smiling face but was much older than him, Cheng Xuyuan was speechless.
He forced a smile and said, "Brother Ma, if you have something to do, just mind your own business. I'm fine here."
Xiao Ma smiled and said, "Mr. Cheng, Director Xie has made all the arrangements. I'll stay here if I have nothing to do. If you have nothing to do, I'll rest. If you have any problems, come to me."
Looking at Xiao Ma with a smile on his face, Cheng Xuyuan felt helpless. He couldn't forcibly reject Xie Jin's kindness.
After hesitating for a moment, Cheng Xuyuan said to Xiao Ma, "Brother Ma, is this place far from the staff quarters of Shanghai Literature and Art?"
"It's not too far." Xiao Ma smiled and said, "Mr. Cheng, if you want to go, I'll call for a car and come over in a while."
"No, since it's not far, I'll just walk over." Cheng Xuyuan said, "I'm going to see a friend, I can just walk over."
Xiao Ma wanted to persuade him again, but seeing Cheng Xuyuan's serious expression, he could only tell Cheng Xuyuan the general road conditions.
After listening to Xiao Ma, Cheng Xuyuan left the hotel and walked towards the staff quarters where Shen Yumo lived.
I hope I can see it this time.
I wonder if Shen Yumo will change during this period of time.
The second update is here today. It's the end of the month. Please give me two monthly tickets.
