Entertainment: Starting with a complete collapse

This sudden downpour seemed to have completely opened the chapter of heavy rain in this midsummer. From the moment it started, it not only didn't stop, but it also showed a tendency to get heavier and heavier.

Raindrops the size of soybeans splashed onto the ground in the yard, forming patches of water.

"This damn rain"

Holding her son, Zhao Liyuan stood on the second-floor balcony, gazing at the distant lake view shrouded in rain, while she heard her best friend's complaints.

"fine"

Zhao Liyuan replied with a smile.

Of the four seasons, she likes a heavy rain during the hottest part of summer the most, as long as it doesn't last too long. She also likes snow in winter; whenever such a scene occurs, her mood improves.

While in Hengdian, she endured it all with these little hopes. Every time after a heavy rain during the hottest part of summer, she would feel a sensation similar to a cicada shedding its hard shell, as if her whole being was being reborn.

The same applies when it snows in winter.

The arrival of each snowfall meant that she had persevered for another year while the future remained uncertain. The sound of rain pouring down outside the window continued. Tongtong seemed to enjoy the summer rain as much as her mother did. The little one, held in her arms, stared out with her round eyes.

Now her son should be much farther away.

The little one nestled in her arms, motionless, seemingly soothed by the sound of the heavy rain outside.

"What a load of rubbish! With rain this heavy, some places are bound to be flooded."

Xu Ying said irritably.

"affim"

Zhao Liyuan never doubted this.

But in life, we can't forget the beauty and waste that a rainstorm brings just because a place is flooded. Everyone has compassion, but after compassion, we should still live our lives as usual. If we only know how to pity and sympathize, it will only make us depressed and will not do us any other good.

Moreover, although this rain seems heavy, as long as it doesn't rain continuously for a whole day and night, it won't cause too much of an impact. In previous years, the city's sewer system had some problems, but in the last two years, there has been very little water accumulation. Often, after a heavy rain, once the sun comes out, the water disappears so quickly that you can't even see any trace of it.

Xu Ying picked up a grape and waved it in front of Tongtong's eyes. The little guy, who had been staring at the heavy rain outside the window, stared intently at the grape after seeing it.

Xu Ying laughed and said, "I wouldn't dare give it to you, your mom would kill me."

Despite saying that, Xu Ying still peeled the grape skins and squeezed a little grape juice into Tongtong's mouth. After the little guy finished eating, he immediately opened his mouth, as if he wanted to eat more. However, Xu Ying dared not feed him anymore. It was okay to tease him a little, but such a small child could not eat and was also prone to choking.

Xu Ying popped a grape into her mouth, then gestured to Tongtong that she was out of grapes. She pinched the little guy's cheek again. She wondered what kind of good fortune she had in her past life to have such a handsome son with Yuanyuan. His eyes were big and round, even bigger than those of Huang Min and Jin Zhimei's single-eyelid daughter, Xiaobao.

Her skin is like Yuanyuan's, both fair and tender.

Tongtong's legs also look longer than other children his age, so he's unlikely to be short. This is definitely not something he inherited from Yuanyuan, who is only about 1.65 meters tall. While that's not short for an actress, it's not tall either. If he inherited her height, his son would definitely not be tall. But judging from his legs, he's destined to be a 1.8-meter-tall young man.

In addition, there are also small sparrows that are quite large.

:

If it weren't for the fact that her best friend and Huang Min weren't related, Xu Ying would have been suspicious just because of the little sparrow... That bastard's sparrow was quite big. If Tongtong was his son, it would definitely be inherited from him. Since it wasn't, then it must be a hernia.

She's only a few months old now. If he were four or five, she would definitely advise Yuanyuan to have her son's hernia removed. The sooner it's removed, the better. If it's removed too late, it will not only affect his development but also make him unable to exert force.

Xu Ying took Tongtong from Yuanyuan's arms and sat by the window with her best friend, watching the heavy rain outside while taking care of the child. Yuanyuan was probably admiring the ripples spreading as the raindrops splashed into the lake in front of her, but she was different; she was waiting for that bastard to come back.

Buying a place here is out of the question for now.

However, you can stay at Yuanyuan's house.

It's great to have such a best friend. As long as she's not filming out of town, I can come and stay with her anytime.

"That bastard said he needs to write several scripts recently. Has he finished that script he gave you called 'Love in the Buff'?"

Xu Ying asked.

"Give it to me."

Zhao Liyuan replied.

address:\\\\\\\\\\\\.\\\\\\

I sent her the script a few days ago, but she was probably too busy, because there were a lot of typos in the script and some sentences were not fluent. Zhao Liyuan had to sort it out first before I could read it.

How should I put it?

It's not a particularly special story, but it's precisely this unremarkable story that was written into a script. The content feels like it happened right next to me. Zhao Liyuan found it quite interesting after reading it. If you were to condense this story into one sentence, it would be, "There are a million reasons to be moved, but falling in love with someone is something that's etched into your bones, without any reason."

Since transitioning to directing, Huang Min's films have all had a clear core. After determining this core, he fills the story on top of it. This is true for "The Terror Live", "Memories of Murder", and even "Letters to Grandma".

Now even "Love in the Buff" is the same.

And some lines in this script seem to reflect Huang Min's true thoughts about women, such as, "Men all like women they can't completely control, but Chun Jiao, you're just too easy to control!"

"And that line, 'Life is so long, who hasn't fallen in love with a few scumbags?' This is like Huang Min mocking himself. These past few nights, Zhao Liyuan has been flipping through the script before going to bed. Because she has read it so many times, Zhao Liyuan has really come to admire Huang Min. Before, she only thought he was great at acting and writing scripts, but after getting to know him for a while, Zhao Liyuan was amazed by his talent."

Zhao Liyuan hadn't read the script for "Love is Not Blind," but she had read the script for "Love in the Buff" several times. It was about the ambiguous entanglement between modern men and women, but he wrote it in a very interesting way.

It's no wonder that Lin Wan went so far as to write a long essay to beg for his forgiveness and then wanted to remarry him. However... some people are easy to push away, but hard to pull back.

Because from the moment she chose to push him away, this person no longer belonged to her, but to many women. Thinking of this, even though she was also a victim, she felt an urge to laugh.

"How is it?"

Xu Ying asked a question, and before her best friend could answer, she said, "If you think it's okay, then don't bother with the film set. Just convert your salary into a share of the box office revenue. Your movie salary is only a little over ten million. If the box office is a hit, you can get back several times that amount. This guy is really good at writing scripts."

"Then please talk to him for me."

Zhao Liyuan replied with a smile.

:

Before the full script was available, she hesitated a bit, but since she had read it herself, and her agent Zhang Xue had also read it, after reading it, Sister Zhang said directly, "I can't believe that a man who likes straightforward and hard-hitting stories can write such ambiguous relationships."

She rolled her eyes when she heard that.

Although he likes straightforward and realistic stories, he has written more than just this one romance film. "Love is Not Blind" has not been released yet, so it is difficult for anyone to comment on it. However, "Letters to Grandma" truly captures the purest form of love.

If we're talking about who understands love best in today's film industry, it has to be Huang Min. He understands love very well, but he no longer needs love. So Zhao Liyuan really doesn't mind converting her salary into box office revenue or investment. She wouldn't dare to dream of multiplying her salary several times over; she'd be perfectly content with just doubling it.

"It's a small matter."

Xu Ying laughed, "You know perfectly well how things are between me and the dog now. You know exactly how you came up with this script; it was all thanks to my connections. Now, getting investment is just a matter of a word. At most, your best friend can just step aside..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xu Ying couldn't help but laugh.

"You're exaggerating a bit."

Zhao Liyuan replied.

"What's so exaggerated about that?"

After laughing a few times, Xu Ying replied directly, "Isn't this all the trivial stuff between men and women? That bastard likes me to spread my legs, and I like him to cross his legs. Everyone likes legs."

"..."

Zhao Liyuan was speechless.

"I wonder if that bastard's 'Infernal Affairs' script has been written yet!?"

Xu Ying began, "The way he spoke so confidently, as if he's going to redefine the police and gangster film genre, makes me think 'New World' is already quite impressive. The sense of 'destiny' in this film is too strong. I don't think the chances of that bastard winning Best Actor with this film are high, but it's definitely possible for him to have a breakout role. There are very few films like this in the film industry. So with 'New World' as a precedent, 'Infernal Affairs' will only be able to offer something new to the audience in terms of its concept. Otherwise, it will be condemned by the audience. However... this bastard says it's a double agent theme, which sounds interesting. I just don't know what the script actually contains."

"Why don't you just call and ask?"

Looking out at the still-pouring rain, Zhao Liyuan smiled and said, "You two are so close, you really finished writing and wanted to come over and see it right away."

"Isn't this just waiting for that bastard to drive back!"

Xu Ying replied, "That bastard has a terrible temper. If I keep calling him while I'm filming, he'll really start yelling at me. But... once my two sons are born, I'll have a serious talk with him. I don't care if he treats me like this anymore, but my two sons won't let him get away with it. We'll just hang that bastard up and whip him. He's going to hang himself, right? Then we'll hang him from the roof beam."

Zhao Liyuan smiled.

She didn't respond to that.

Because her best friend was obviously joking, and even asked her two sons to hit him... They're not even eighteen yet, don't even think about it. With Huang Min's physique, even if he were eighteen, it's not certain whether he could beat him.

He just couldn't beat Lin Wan.

It doesn't mean we can't beat others.
