Chapter 181 New Script
"Hey Xiaoyang, the director and screenwriter of the script we talked about last time said they want to have dinner with you tonight."
Han Min slowed down his tone and pushed the snacks in his hand towards Xu Wuyang.
"Brother Han, I don't want to take this..."
Xu Wuyang had read the script, which was about school bullying. He felt very uncomfortable and subconsciously wanted to refuse it.
Han Min rubbed his thigh with his big hand a few times, and said with a smile: "I know, but it's just a meeting, it's no big deal.
After you guys talk, if you still don’t want to answer, I won’t force you, what do you think?”
Han Min's eyes were full of sincerity. In his opinion, this work was a rare good one.
Moreover, Xu Wuyang was given the leading male role, so it would be a shame if he missed it.
Xu Wuyang lowered his head, his fingers scratching the handle of the water cup. He was silent for a long time before responding.
"Okay, I'll go over there tonight."
After all, this subject matter is quite special, so it would be beneficial to understand it.
In the evening, Xu Wuyang came to the hotel box as agreed.
The director and screenwriter had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Xu Wuyang coming, they immediately stood up to greet him.
After some greetings, everyone took their seats.
The director began to introduce the creativity and conception of the script. Xu Wuyang listened quietly, but he still felt a little uneasy in his heart.
The director noticed Xu Wuyang's mood and took the initiative to ask, "Xiao Xu, do you have any thoughts or questions about this script? Feel free to speak up."
Xu Wuyang hesitated for a moment, then finally began to speak: "The script is very good, but the bullying scenes in the script make me feel very uncomfortable."
The director and screenwriter looked at each other and asked cautiously, "Xiao Yang, were you bullied in school before?"
Xu Wuyang frowned and thought for a while, then slowly shook his head.
"No, my classmates are all very nice to me."
Hearing this, the director breathed a sigh of relief. He was also worried that Xu Wuyang had experienced this kind of trauma before.
Otherwise, it is easy to have a stress reaction during the acting process.
For the actor, this situation is tantamount to reopening the scars, which is not what he wants to see.
The screenwriter smiled and explained, "Xiaoyang, we hope that through this script, we can draw society's attention to the problem of school bullying, rather than simply exaggerating violence.
During the filming process, we will pay attention to the details and present the story in an artistic way.
We have paid a lot of attention to you before and have a rough understanding of many of your deeds.
We all agree that you fit the role perfectly in every way, and we hope you can reconsider."
The screenwriter's words seemed to have some kind of soothing power, which dissipated a lot of the restlessness in Xu Wuyang's heart.
Xu Wuyang nodded, no longer as resistant as before, and took a sip of tea.
"I'll go back and think about it carefully. I'll get back to you guys as soon as possible."
"Hey... no rush, no rush. Think about it carefully. There's still time. We'll wait for you."
The director quickly waved his hand and poured wine into the glass. This was a movie he had been preparing for a long time.
The filming has not started because we haven't found a suitable lead actor.
He has a good reputation in the industry and has won many awards, so there is no shortage of people who want to star in his movies.
But when he looks for actors, he not only looks for fame, but also for their understanding of the script and the ability to interpret the feeling he wants.
Xu Wuyang was the male lead he fell in love with at first sight, and he had been waiting for so long.
It doesn't matter if he waits a little longer, he believes Xu Wuyang will be moved by him.
Yuanbao put a piece of peeled lobster meat in Xu Wuyang's bowl.
He picked up another piece of pork ribs for himself and ate it slowly, adding some tea to Xu Wu from time to time.
Xu Wuyang was chatting with the screenwriter in a random manner. He felt a slight swelling in his lower abdomen, obviously because he drank too much tea.
"Excuse me, I need to go to the bathroom."
After Xu Wuyang finished taking care of his physiological needs, he washed his hands and was about to go out.
But I heard a familiar voice and staggering footsteps coming from next door.
He couldn't help but pause, and saw Lin Yue running out from the door with a panicked look on his face.
"Lin Yue? Why are you here?"
Lin Yue suddenly heard Xu Wuyang's voice. He looked up at him in surprise, then immediately lowered his head.
He hesitated and said, "I...I'm here to talk to the director about the script."
Xu Wuyang felt something was wrong and was about to ask again.
A voice suddenly interrupted.
"Lin Yue, is this your friend?"
Xu Wuyang looked up and saw that this was the man he met in the hospital that day.
When Lin Yue saw Mr. Zhang coming out, his body stiffened involuntarily, and he pushed Xu Wuyang behind him without leaving a trace.
"Mr. Zhang, why did you come out?"
Mr. Zhang looked a little drunk as he leaned towards Lin Yue, and the smell of alcohol on him was extremely unpleasant.
"I just came out to see you. Your friend? Do you want to come in and sit with me?"
As he said this, his eyes involuntarily wandered over Xu Wuyang.
He even stared at Xu Wuyang's butt for several seconds.
The fat on his face squeezed his facial features together, and his expression had an indescribable sense of vulgarity.
Xu Wuyang felt disgusted, took a step back inconspicuously, and glared at the other person.
Mr. Zhang was not afraid when he was stared at. Instead, he felt like something was tickling his heart, making it itchy.
Lin Yue quickly said: "No need, Mr. Zhang..."
He turned to Xu Wuyang and said, "Yanyang, you go back first. I'll go to the villa to find you when I have time."
After saying that, he pushed Xu Wuyang subtly, as if urging him to leave quickly.
Although Xu Wuyang felt something was wrong, he didn't say anything.
He turned around and glanced at Lin Yue, then said, "If you have any problems, come find me."
Only after Xu Wuyang turned and left did Lin Yue's tense nerves relax.
Mr. Zhang reluctantly withdrew his gaze from Xu Wuyang and turned to look at Lin Yue.
There was no trace of the smile on his face from before. He grabbed Lin Yue's arm with his dirty hands and dragged him into the box.
"I don't want to... Mr. Zhang, I don't want it. Please let me go... I will die..."
"Do you think I can let you do what you want? If you dare to run away today, I will kill you!" Mr. Zhang opened his eyes wide and warned Lin Yue fiercely.
Lin Yue was so frightened that his face turned pale and his body kept shaking.
He struggled desperately, but Mr. Zhang was too strong and he couldn't get free at all.
After a while, he was dragged into the box.
Several pot-bellied old men in the box raised their heads and looked in Lin Yue's direction, and exchanged a knowing glance.
When Lin Yue saw several old men sitting on the sofa, he was so scared that he immediately curled up in the corner and looked at them warily.
"Lin Yue, if you serve us well, we will not treat you unfairly..."
Mr. Zhang pinched Lin Yue's chin and put his other hand into Lin Yue's clothes in a dirty way.
"Look, I gave you a lot of face. In order to take care of you, I called all the other bosses here."
