Chapter 6 The Gloomy Director
When 527 came back, Su Qingyu was writing a script.
He had tidied up his desk, and he was writing on the hard surface with a pencil.
Xu Yunhan likes to write with pencils since he was a child, preferably on a hard surface.
In midsummer, in the quiet little house under the thick branches of the banyan tree, he could hear the rustling sound left by the tip of the pen on the paper. He liked to capture this sound in the wind that did not compete with it.
He wrote the first draft of the script in pencil.
In the dark room, he wrote a lot about his love for Ren Heming. He erased it with an eraser again and again, until the hard paper was wrinkled and soft. In the end, only the inner monologue about the first meeting was left. There was not a single word "love" in the whole article. .
This film was Xu Yunhan's last wish before his death, to preserve the story of him and Ren Heming into a film using his lifelong professionalism.
The script was only written up to the time when he wrote the script, but now Su Qingyu is completing it one by one in Xu Yunhan's way, writing the story up to the day he passed away, leaving a complete ending.
Under the dim light, Su Qingyu was writing quietly, with a pale and superior profile, with a layer of warm light.
527 stared blankly, forgetting for a moment that he was a scumbag, thinking that this was a movie scene that made the system quiet.
It wasn't until Su Qingyu put down his pen that 527 excitedly told him what it saw, and then made a summary: [The repentance value has changed from 0 to 5. Host, you are so lucky. You accidentally transformed the scumbag! 】
Su Qingyu: "You are the first one to say that I am lucky. I was really unlucky before, but maybe my luck improved after meeting you."
527 was happy but shy, [Ah Really? Am I still the host’s little blessing? 】
Su Qingyu nodded, thinking about how the repentance value came about.
Was it the question mark sent by Ren Heming?
In the past, when Xu Yunhan and Ren Heming got along, Xu Yunhan took the initiative in online chatting, and the rhythm was completely in Ren Heming's hands. Ren Heming couldn't help but send a message, which was a change.
Obviously, it is unlikely that a scumbag who has deceived his relationship for ten years will suddenly regret it. If it is just a change, it will verify his previous guess about the word "repent" when separated.
Just looking at "correction" does not necessarily mean that the scumbag truly realizes his mistake and makes corrections, as long as it is correction, even if it is forced by the host.
However, is this small change worth 5 points of repentance?
Or is it that the change in repentance value is a continuation of the script?
It is Xu Yunhan's wish to preserve the story between him and Ren Heming into a movie, and it may be part of his obsession. The continuation of the script fulfills his wish?
There are two conjectures about the source of the 5-point repentance value. The former is based on the "change" in the system's hard task repentance value.
The latter is based on the entrusting ghost, and is the fulfillment of the entrusting ghost's wishes and the elimination of obsessions.
There is another possibility, both.
It was Su Qingyu's first time doing a task, and he needed to explore the "scoring points" a little bit and try to figure out the psychology of the "question makers" on both sides.
Seeing the "repentance value" and being brainwashed by the system's ever-talking "reform target", there may be many hosts who will rush to transform the scumbag into a good person.
After listening to 527's explanation of the origin of the Fengdu system, Su Qingyu had other ideas.
From a fundamental point of view, the demands of the entrusting ghosts are different, but transforming scumbags into good people is not the purpose of most of the entrusting ghosts.
Since he is called a scumbag, he must have done some harm to the entrusting ghosts. The entrusting ghosts have worked in the underworld for several years to earn merit and please the system, just to transform the scumbag into a good person?
No, it was too late for them to hate.
527 said that different ghosts have different demands, and it is troublesome to refine the operation, so the Fengdu system has set a "repentance value" for the scumbag system that has room for development.
It is known that merit comes from the entruster, in other words, the person who pays the money is the entrusting ghost, and it is for their service.
It is also known that the entrusting ghosts have not yet reincarnated, and they will have to untie their obsessions and fulfill their wishes before reincarnating.
So, is there a possibility that the repentance value is calculated by the main system based on the elimination of the client's obsession? If the repentance value is passed, it means that the client's obsession has been almost eliminated and he can reincarnate. That makes more sense.
At the same time, this Fengdu system belongs to the underworld, which governs the cycle of life and death and adheres to the principle of karma and retribution.
A scumbag like Ren Heming, since he has not reached the underworld, proves that his life should not be cut off.
The underworld does not want to affect the cycle of life and death. Scumbags must stay in this world and cannot be fatally killed. It is best to reform them.
Transforming scumbags is a positive and good thing, and it is indeed in line with the gentle and positive concept of 527. At the same time, the process of transformation can make them realize their mistakes and make changes to the original owner, and it can also eliminate the obsession of the client.
His chance of rebirth was given by the Fengdu system, and his merits were given by entrusted ghosts. These are his two "question makers", both his clients and his service objects.
The demands and interests of these two parties are contradictory but unified. He has to take both into account and find a balance.
At the same time, he is a human being, not a robot. He has his own preferences and has to do it in his own way.
Every time he signs a contract with a brand, he will tell his agent that he will do his best to serve Party A, but he cannot wrong himself for it. This is his principle.
With this reasoning, his direction is clear, and it just needs further accurate confirmation.
Su Qingyu was thinking while chatting with 527.
527: [By the way, host, you blocked Ren Heming on WeChat, and they wanted to call you. You blocked their phone numbers soon, too. They are so angry! 】
Su Qingyu smiled, [You can't block the phone. 】
527: [Why? 】
Su Qingyu: [It’s interesting to keep hope, and do you want me to transform him from the air? 】
527 seemed to understand, [Yeah, the host is right, it would be great if they didn't sleep well on the first night. 】
Su Qingyu played with the black phone with her slender pale fingers, raised her eyebrows slightly, and met the light with her beautiful eyes, her eyes bright, [I just can't sleep well, how can I have enough? 】
He got up and went to the bathroom to wash his face, changed his clothes, put a coat on his body, and went out to find the hotel manager.
The hotel room didn't look very high-end, but because it was in a film and television base, it was considered a relatively expensive hotel here. When the manager heard that Xu Yunhan was looking for him, he hurried over immediately.
There are no rest nights in hotels at film and television bases.
At ten o'clock at night, Xu Yunhan stood alone against the wall at the door of the hotel, with bright lights on one side and thick darkness on the other. His pale face was divided into two sides, his hair on his forehead was blown by the night wind, and his eyes were quiet and cool looking into the distance. , the hotel manager was stunned for several seconds.
Xu Yunhan has been staying in the hotel for several days, and the manager always feels that there is something different about him tonight.
The manager thought again that he was worthy of being a director making movies. Because he was not feeling well, he casually leaned towards the door, and it turned out to be a movie scene with a sense of story.
The manager rushed up and asked Xu Yunhan what he wanted to say, "You don't have to come down, just call me and tell me."
Su Qingyu: "I'm causing trouble for you."
Su Qingyu stood at the door and said a few words to the manager, who nodded and got ready to go.
After they left, Su Qingyu took out his cell phone from his pocket, tapped it casually with his fingers, and posted a Weibo message.
After Ren Heming and Han Lin calmed down, they began to investigate Xu Yunhan's recent abnormalities.
They searched here and there, but couldn't find any problems.
In the past two months, Xu Yunhan has been retreating at home to write scripts. He only came to the film and television base to see Ren Heming two days ago. I just met Ren Heming tonight. Everything is normal.
Han Lin scratched his head and asked, "Is it two months ago? What happened?"
Ren Heming couldn't figure it out either. He had a sullen face and didn't look angry just now. It was hard to tell what he was thinking.
"Forget it..." He was about to say, but was interrupted by Han Lin loudly, "Xu Yunhan posted on Weibo!"
Ren Heming immediately clicked on it and saw the latest Weibo at a glance.
[Xu Yunhan: I wrote the script for more than two months. The male lead was originally scheduled not to be cast. Now we are urgently looking for the male lead. Whoever comes to the hotel for the audition first within half an hour and passes the audition will be the male lead. 】
Xu Yunhan has a Weibo account. The director behind the scenes is different from the star. He doesn’t have many fans, but the fans who follow him are very important.
Stars, directors, screenwriters, producers, marketing accounts, reporters, etc.
As soon as Xu Yunhan posted this Weibo, you can imagine the sensation in the circle.
What's more, Xu Yunhan is at the northern film and television base, the largest in the country, where many crews are filming. It's past ten o'clock in the evening, and many actors have to leave the show.
The name of the hotel is clearly posted on Weibo, and you can imagine the restlessness in the film and television base at this time.
Han Lin: "Is he crazy! Such a childish play for a male protagonist?! What on earth is he going to do?"
Ren Heming couldn't answer either.
He knew that Xu Yunhan was a well-behaved person. Just like his wardrobe, every piece of clothing was where it should be, neatly arranged in a row.
He shouldn't have done this.
The person who was completely in his hands before was now inexplicably out of his control. Ren Heming didn't want to make himself angry and care about it, but he couldn't control his irritation.
Han Lin: "Xu Yunhan is so abnormal. He must be causing trouble. Is it related to what he just leaked?"
He walked around the room anxiously, nervously, "No, many actors and reporters must have rushed over now. If he says anything, it will be too late. You call him quickly!"
This time Han Lin almost gave an order. The phone call must be made.
He had already planned that if Ren Heming didn't fight, he would fight Xu Yunhan.
As soon as he picked up his cell phone, it rang. It was a reporter he knew well in the industry, asking him if the person Xu Yunhan was talking about was Ren Heming.
Before hanging up the phone, several more calls came in one after another.
Han Lin looked at Xu Yunhan's Weibo again and felt something was wrong.
"Everyone in the industry knows that most of Xu Yunhan's leading male roles are you. Does this sentence make people feel that Xu Yunhan urgently found the male lead because of your breach of contract?" He also wondered for a moment, "If I hadn't understood Xu Yunhan, I feel like he is talking about you over tea, and is rubbing off on you."
Ren Heming said even more irritably: "He is not such a person!"
Han Lin: "..."
He also felt that Xu Yunhan was not such a person, "But what on earth is he going to do!"
"We can't wait any longer, I'll call him right now!" Han Lin didn't hesitate and called Xu Yunhan directly.
[The user you dialed is temporarily unavailable. 】
"..."
The voice was more direct than the words, and he was even more silent at this time than when he first discovered that he had been blocked on WeChat.
Han Lin coughed and quickly said to Ren Heming, "He may have blocked me. Please try calling him quickly."
After saying that, he added, "But I was blocked, and you should be blocked too."
Ren Heming didn't say anything, just looked at Weibo.
Han Lin no longer counted on such a stubborn person. He called their public relations team irritably and stared at Weibo, fearing that Xu Yunhan would expose some photos of him and Ren Heming under reporters' inquiries.
The film and television base has many crews and stars, and naturally there are also many paparazzi reporters.
After Xu Yunhan posted on Weibo, reporters must have rushed over when they saw it. Even if they couldn't see it, the actors they were stationed at must have seen it.
Half an hour after Xu Yunhan posted his blog, an entry became a hot search topic.
# Yao Tianhao ran to Xu Yunhan Hotel late at night #
Yao Tianhao is a third- and fourth-tier actor. He has acted in two good online dramas and is currently playing the second male lead in an idol drama.
Ren Heming, who also came from the bottom, understands his behavior very well. For people like them who have no resources at the beginning, this kind of opportunity may not be encountered in their entire career, and they want to seize it even if they are broke.
And Han Lin understood very well why this entry was on the hot search list.
Yao Tianhao has attracted a lot of attention in his own right. Netizens love to eat melon, and they are especially excited late at night. The four words "actor", "director", "late night" and "hotel" simply make netizens gossip.
However, when the two of them saw Xu Yunhan's name on the hot search, they were stunned.
Xu Yunhan has made many films and TV dramas, but none of them involve crotch-stretching. It's no problem to call him a famous director.
Directors are behind the scenes and are different from actors, but the more famous directors have always been on the hot search list once or twice.
Xu Yunhan was different. In their impression, Xu Yunhan was gloomy and introverted, unsocial, and only followed Ren Heming. He was a person who lived in Ren Heming's shadow.
His name suddenly appeared in the hot search, and thousands of people paid attention to it.
Just when I was thinking about this, his name appeared again in the hot search.
