Chapter 543 A Farewell That Cannot Be Missed
Xie Jin was in high spirits!
He did not even attend Cheng Xuyuan's seminar on his work these past two days, but instead worked diligently on editing the film.
Now that the film has been edited and he had a good sleep, he is in high spirits.
So, he wants to find Cheng Xuyuan!
He wanted Cheng Xuyuan to see if there were any flaws in the movie he had edited.
In his opinion, there are only two people who understand The Truman Show best: himself and Cheng Xuyuan.
Only Cheng Xuyuan could point out the shortcomings of his own work.
Only Cheng Xuyuan is qualified to discuss the pros and cons of this movie with me.
There is only Cheng Xuyuan...
So, as soon as he came out, he went to find Cheng Xuyuan.
As a result, the old friend said that Cheng Xuyuan had gone out, but did not leave Donghai, but no one knew where he went.
This made Xie Jin very depressed. He was full of energy, but was doused with anger.
Feeling depressed, he didn't want to go back just like that, so he ran to the Bund to try his luck.
After all, most people from outside who come to Donghai will go to the Bund for a stroll.
What Xie Jin didn't expect was that he actually ran into Cheng Xuyuan here.
For a moment, he had the feeling that he had been searching for him among the crowd for hundreds of times, and when he turned around, he found him standing in the dim light.
As for Cheng Xuyuan, he really had no mood to watch a movie right now.
But in this situation, he had nothing to do.
If you let your mind wander, not only will there be no good results, but it will have a counterproductive effect.
Secondly, Xie Jin was too enthusiastic. If I didn't agree, he would definitely find ways to pester me.
In that case, it would be difficult for me to escape as well.
Under these circumstances, it would be better to follow him and watch the edited movie first.
So in the end, Cheng Xuyuan was pulled by Xie Jin into the small projection room of Shanghai Film Studio.
Although Xie Jin valued Cheng Xuyuan the most, many people from the Shanghai Film Studio still came to the screening.
Some of these people were big names called by Xie Jin, but more of them were actors from the Shanghai Film Studio.
They all knew that Director Xie had made a masterpiece.
Now of course I want to have a sneak peek.
The Truman Show begins airing, and the time is set fifty years later.
As the actor who played Truman appeared, countless people's attention began to be attracted by the plot.
The things that repeat every day, the accidents that keep happening, and Truman who wants to escape...
All of this makes people feel uneasy.
When Truman finally drove the boat to the wall to meet the director and walked out firmly, there was a burst of warm applause.
There were strange flashes in the eyes of many people.
Not only were they conquered by the twists and turns of the film's plot, but they also admired Truman's persistent pursuit of life.
So, there was thunderous applause.
"Xuyuan, how is it?" Xie Jin didn't care much about the applause around him. All his attention was on Cheng Xuyuan.
He hoped to hear Cheng Xuyuan's evaluation.
Cheng Xuyuan clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Thank you, Director. That's great."
"I think this movie captures the Truman Show in my mind."
"I believe that if this movie is released, it will definitely gain more approval from people."
Cheng Xuyuan's words made Xie Jin smile more and more.
He patted Cheng Xuyuan on the shoulder and said, "Xuyuan, this time, you must have a good drink."
"Haha, I've been thinking about this movie since last year, and now I can finally put my mind at ease."
"Let's go to the guesthouse."
As for drinking, Cheng Xuyuan really needed it at this moment.
After all, things happened a little too suddenly and he needed to drink to slow down.
Just as Cheng Xuyuan and Xie Jin walked out of the small screening room, they heard someone say, "Teacher Cheng."
Cheng Xuyuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a slim, fair-faced, pretty young woman looking at him with a smile.
Cheng Xuyuan was stunned for a moment, then reacted.
This is Rong Bing, the heroine of the novel Love in Mount Lu which she wrote herself.
And I also recommended this heroine at that time.
But at that time, I didn't have much friendship with her, I just thought she was more suitable.
Seeing Rong Bing at the Shanghai Film Studio at this time, Cheng Xuyuan was a little surprised. He asked casually: "Rong Bing, why are you here?"
"Teacher Cheng, I have been transferred to the Shanghai Film Studio."
Rong Bing was filled with excitement about being transferred to Shanghai Film Studio.
After all, her home is in the East China Sea, and she is naturally happy to be back with her family.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Congratulations."
"You've got what you wanted."
Rong Bing smiled and said, "Teacher Cheng, your visit to the East China Sea this time..."
"I came here to participate in an event, and Director Xie drafted me in." Cheng Xuyuan said with a smile, "Rong Bing, Director Xie is waiting for me. Let's talk later."
As he spoke, he walked towards Xie Jin who was waving at him.
"Sister Bing, who is this?" An eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl with big eyes looked at Cheng Xuyuan who was leaving with curiosity.
"Cheng Xuyuan." Rong Bing answered casually.
However, when the girl heard the three words "Cheng Xuyuan", a look of suspicion appeared on her face.
Obviously, she couldn't figure out who Cheng Xuyuan was.
Seeing his companion's suspicious look, Rong Bing said solemnly: "It's Xu Lingyun."
"Aren't you my favorite soldier?"
"Now this Truman Show is adapted from his novel."
Hearing this, the girl suddenly asked, "Sister Bing, the movie Love in Mount Lushan that you starred in was also written by him."
Rong Bing nodded and said, "That's him."
The girl was surprised and said, "Oh, I always said that when I meet him, I must have a good chat with him, but I didn't expect that when I met him, I didn't even say hello."
"Sister Bing, I really didn't expect him to be so young."
Regarding Cheng Xuyuan's age, Rong Bing smiled and said, "He is still a junior student at Yanjing University, so he is naturally young."
"I think you are at most two or three years younger than him."
Hearing this, a strange look flashed in the girl's eyes.
She said softly: "Sister Bing, since Xu Lingyun is in our Shanghai Film Studio, take me to visit him."
Rong Bing hesitated for a moment and said, "He and I are not actually that familiar with each other."
"It was after he met me that he recommended me to play the role of Love in Mount Lushan."
"It's just that he's been busy, so there's no contact."
The young girl said, "Sister Bing, this is your fault. People recommended you to act in such a good movie, but you contacted them less."
"After this, people will remember you when good things happen to them."
Hearing this, a hint of hesitation appeared on Rong Bing's face.
Cheng Xuyuan naturally didn't know that he had become the object of Rong Bing's entanglement.
After being pulled to the cafeteria of the guesthouse by Xie Jin, the wine was served.
In fact, the food and drinks were the most common and the prices were not high, but Xie Jin and others were in high spirits.
In just a few minutes, everyone drank three or four glasses of wine.
"Xuyuan, I'm going to Yanjing in two days to report to my superiors about going to the film festival."
Xie Jin said: "Once we have decided which film festival to go to, you can come with me?"
Whether it is the three major European film festivals or the American Oscars, if you want to participate, you have to go abroad.
For people at this time, going abroad is something that makes them yearn for it, and many people even compete with each other to go abroad.
However, Cheng Xuyuan himself was not very interested in going abroad.
Coming from the future, he is too familiar with the outside world.
Why not stay in Yanjing and eat some good food instead of going out?
So he smiled and said, "Xie Dao, I appreciate your kindness, but I'm still used to staying at home."
Looking at Cheng Xuyuan who was in a lazy state, Xie Jin said helplessly: "I wanted to take the opportunity of going out to ask you to do some work, but I didn't expect you to not go."
"Okay, let's talk about this later."
"Xuyuan, if we go to the exhibition, what do you think we need to pay attention to?"
The person who was drinking with Cheng Xuyuan and Xie Jin looked at Cheng Xuyuan with an increasingly different look.
Although they have achieved a lot in their respective fields, they are still yearning for the good thing of studying abroad.
But Cheng Xuyuan didn't even care about going abroad, which really made them admire him.
At the same time, they were all excited, after all, they were all crew members of The Truman Show.
If they go abroad, they also have opportunities.
Cheng Xuyuan said: "I don't know much about other things, but if we can win a big award, then when we sell the copyright, other small markets can be bought out."
"But for Lao Mi's market, I suggest we split the profits."
Hearing Cheng Xuyuan talking about selling copyrights, Xie Jin's smile became even brighter.
Doesn't this mean that Cheng Xuyuan is very confident in his work and feels that it will definitely win a big prize?
He smiled and said, "Xuyuan, don't worry. If I can win the grand prize, I will definitely apply to the factory and give you a big reward."
"Hahaha!"
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Then let's make it a deal."
Because the film had already been completed, there was no pressure on anyone present, so everyone drank to their heart's content.
At the beginning, Cheng Xuyuan was controlling the amount, but in the end, he could no longer control himself.
Finally I slept in the guesthouse.
When he woke up the next day, Cheng Xuyuan felt a slight headache.
He thought to himself that he must never drink so much alcohol in the future.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw that the time had already pointed to eight o'clock.
Cheng Xuyuan, who was originally lazily, suddenly sat up.
Shen Yunliang is going to Yanjing by bus today. If it were before, it would be normal for me not to see him off.
But now, with Xiao Anan here, how could he not go and comfort Xiao Anan’s grandfather.
In a flash, Cheng Xuyuan simply washed his face, then hailed a tricycle and headed towards the Bund.
Hope to make it in time.
