"Okay, okay, calm down. Who told you to come in without knocking?" Sheng Ruqi complained as she straightened her clothes that had been messed up just now.
Ye Jin was too lazy to talk nonsense with her and said the key point directly, "Are you going to see Director Liu this afternoon?"
"See you." Sheng Ruqi looked serious when she mentioned this question.
"What do you mean, are you interested?"
"He was very satisfied after reading the script and said he was willing to cooperate." Sheng Ruqi paused and then said, "But there is a condition."
"What conditions?"
Sheng Ruqi didn't say it directly. She thought about it again and again, "Actually, it doesn't necessarily have to be Lao Liu. There are many directors who are interested in this script."
"Counter Current" is positioned as a commercial film produced by big IP, and it is also JM's most recent core film and television investment project.
Ye Jin's qualifications are not that old, but his unique vision and market prediction ability have made several major movies invested and produced by JM in recent years become box office harvesters.
Ye Jin may not be as good as Sheng Ruqi in terms of socializing and entertainment, but in terms of project analysis, Ye Jin has the absolute say, which Sheng Ruqi feels ashamed of. Therefore, most of the company's project decision-making meetings are chaired by Ye Jin, and Sheng Ruqi is responsible for the execution.
Liu Xiao was chosen for "Counter Current" because Liu Xiao has mature masterpieces of similar commercial films and has excellent reviews in the industry. This is not the intention of Ye Jin alone, but the result of the collective decision-making of the company's senior management.
"What are the conditions first?" Ye Jin asked again. If Director Liu is willing to cooperate, there is no need to consider other people.
Sheng Ruqi knew it was hard to be vague, so she said bluntly, "He wants Yizhen to be the female lead."
It was a movie directed by Liu Xiao that directly promoted Yi Zhen to a front-line position. Both of them gained fame and fortune, and almost won a Grand Slam of awards, which can be called a golden match.
"There is nothing wrong with this casting choice. We will discuss it at a meeting tomorrow. If everyone has no objections, let's make it this way."
Sheng Ruqi saw Ye Jin's calm face and hesitated, "Yizhen, is it really okay?"
"Is there any problem? Her acting skills in Mesozoic Huadan are remarkable. Although we are a commercial film, you also know that in the current market, the flow method is no longer feasible. She has developed abroad in recent years, and her domestic activity is
It’s a little bit worse, but the second collaboration with Liu Xiao is also very topical.”
Seeing that Ye Jin was really analyzing the casting carefully, Sheng Ruqi was so impressed. Sure enough, Mr. Ye was crazy at work. Sheng Ruqi just wanted to express that Yi was really her ex-girlfriend. Isn't this embarrassing?
Ye Jin naturally understood Sheng Ruqi's subtext, but she didn't want to mix private matters with official matters. Moreover, this movie was not a private investment by her. She just analyzed the problem from an objective perspective.
"I won't let you work overtime today."
"So considerate?"
Ye Jin returned to her office, drank black coffee to refresh herself, and then remembered the scene where Sheng Ruqi hugged the girl and kissed her passionately at this desk just now. She only glanced at it briefly, but some scenes lingered in her mind.
Will she change a little bit as Ji Shuang said? Ye Jin held her forehead, there were some things that she still didn't think she could do, just like Sheng Ruqi and Ke Ruochu just now, it was obviously the most normal kiss between lovers, but
She was still resentful and resistant.
Thinking back to the past, Ye Jin felt even more uncomfortable. However, while feeling uncomfortable and disgusted, he still felt envious.
Because it is out of reach for me, I envy it.
Ye Jin always has an extraordinary arrogance and indifference on weekdays. No one would have thought that when it comes to relationships, she would have such low self-esteem.
Non-marriageism, regardless of emotional issues, being alone is good, and all kinds of rhetoric are just umbrellas to cover up one's vulnerability. If there were other choices, Ye Jin would not want to be alone.
Xia An's appearance made Ye Jin conflicted. She couldn't help but want to get closer, but she was afraid of getting closer. Every time she got a little closer, that sentence flashed through her mind.
"No one can stand you..."
There was a ceramic piglet on the table. Xia An pinched it that day in the kindergarten. Before leaving, Ye Jin silently put it into her bag.
Ye Jin stared at the chubby pig on the table, distracted.
As the end of the term approached, Xia An was extremely busy, and just writing the paper was enough to give her a headache. She worked in the hospital during the day, and returned home at night to study hard with a large stack of materials, typing on her notebook until late at night.
It was approaching eleven o'clock, and Xia An yawned three times, and finally couldn't bear it any longer, so he leaned on the table and squinted for a while.
In the next room, Ye Wan was lying on the bed alone, holding an oversized stuffed toy in her arms, "Good night, mom."
Ye Jin sat beside the bed, "Don't you want to sleep with mom?"
"No," Ye Wan shook her head and hugged the stuffed toy in her arms tighter. She also complained to Ye Jin about her dissatisfaction, "You and Xiaoxia's mother always squeeze Wanwan in the middle. It's too crowded.
Now, I want to sleep alone."
Mr. Ye: "..."
In the past, no matter what, the little ones would pester them to stay together, but now it's better, they actively ask to sleep alone.
After Ye Jin walked out of Ye Wan's bedroom, she stopped outside Xia An's room. The lights in the room seemed to be still on. She knocked lightly on the door, but no one answered, so she opened the door.
Xia An was sleeping on the desk, so no wonder he didn't respond.
Ye Jin approached, the laptop screen beside him was still on, and the manuscript contained some technical terms that he couldn't understand, while Xia An's face was pressed sideways on the open book, still sleeping with his eyes squinted.
Xia An had taken a shower, with her long hair hanging loose. Although she was bare-faced, her face was clean and her lips were pink. After all, she was a young girl who had not graduated. She was more mature than her peers, but she still had an air of youthfulness that could not be concealed.
Ye Jin stood aside and stared at this face. After all, Xia An's current complexion was much better two months ago. Two months ago, when Ye Jin saw her without makeup, she looked so haggard.
Feeling distressed.
Moreover, Xia An seems to be a little fatter, not as skinny as before. Ye Jin can feel this firsthand, because when Xia An is sleeping, she always likes to stick to her body, several times, and even directly
Get into her arms.
It was just an agreement to get married, but the two often lay on the same bed and hugged each other to sleep. Both of them were tacitly violating the contract.
Ye Jin couldn't help but wonder, is that paper contract still necessary? Not only Xia An felt that way, but Ye Jin also felt that way. Their acting was becoming more and more realistic. Ye Jin even felt that it was good as it was now.
"Huh?" Xia An opened his eyes.
"Go to bed and sleep."
Xia An was still lying lazily on the book, just raising his eyes and staring at Ye Jin's face, and said vaguely, "I haven't slept, and I have to write a paper."
Ye Jin wanted to laugh when she saw Xia An looking like this, "You've already snored and you haven't gone to bed yet?"
Xia An straightened up, looked up at Ye Jin and smiled, "I never snore when I sleep."
"Go to sleep if you feel sleepy, don't hold on."
Mr. Ye, you are caring about me again.
"Well, I..." Xia An hummed, with a tired look on her face. She hesitated for a moment, and finally said what she wanted to say in a semi-joking tone, "Listen to my wife."
Ye Jin was expressionless at first, but when he heard the second half of Xia An's sentence, the corner of his mouth raised.
Xia An saved the file and closed the computer. In this state tonight, he couldn't hold anything back.
In the master bedroom on the second floor, Xia An saw that the sheets and bedding were spread neatly, and there was no sign of the little one. "Where is Wanwan? I'll call her over."
"No need." Ye Jin also walked into the bedroom and whispered to Xia An from behind, "She is already asleep."
"Then I..." Xia An stood there, looking into Ye Jin's eyes. He originally wanted to say, "Then I'll go back to the room," but these words were never uttered.
Xia An only said half of what he said. Ye Jin pretended not to hear and closed the door very quickly.
They were the only two people left in the room.
"Go to sleep." Ye Jin said it so naturally. She walked past Xia An, pulled back the quilt, and lay down on the bed.
Xia An followed Ye Jin and lay down on the bed silently. For the first time, they were sleeping on the same bed without Ye Wan.
Under the guise of a contractual relationship, they are constantly getting closer and more ambiguous. Both Ye Jin and Xia An are somewhat aware of this. However, no one is the first to break through this inexplicable relationship.
Late at night, Xia An and Ye Jin were lying quietly on the bed. Without the interruption of the little one, the two were not as close as usual.
Xia An tasted liking someone for the first time. She was very cautious. She didn't dare to say it because she was afraid of being rejected, but she couldn't help but test it out. She would be ecstatic because of the other person's inconspicuous response, and because of the other person's slightest response.
Indifferent and depressed.
But Ye Jin is like this, sometimes hot and cold.
Xia An felt that Ye Jin cared about her, but sometimes she felt that Ye Jin didn't care about her that much. It was like, if she didn't take the initiative, she thought, Mr. Ye would never say anything.
Why did I fall in love with such an iceberg? Or, it would be more appropriate to describe it as melancholy. Otherwise, when I was about to leave, Mr. Ye didn't say anything, but the door closed so quickly?
Xia An wanted to laugh but was depressed at the same time.
"Still not sleeping yet." Ye Jin glanced at Xia An.
"Well, I went to sleep." Xia An closed her eyes, but after a long time, she was still thinking about her thoughts and still didn't fall asleep.
After a while, Ye Jin turned to look at Xia An's sleeping face, cursed, and said she didn't want to sleep. In less than two minutes, she fell asleep soundly.
After watching for a few seconds, Ye Jin quietly moved her body and moved closer to the person on the other side.
The night light was dim and dim, and Xia An's head happened to rub lightly on his shoulder. Ye Jin looked at it intently, and his eyes unconsciously fell on the other person's lips.
The two thin lips are small and delicate, looking soft and rosy.
The scene of the encounter in the office in the afternoon is still vivid in my mind...
Ye Jin's eyes lingered on Xia An's pretty face. The arms under the quilt had already gently hugged Xia An's body, just like they usually did when Xia An hugged her after she fell asleep. Ye Jin was greedy and hugged her gently.
Xia An, but his eyes were still wandering around the other person's facial features, and finally landed on the red lips.
Being very close, Ye Jin's breathing quickened. If he didn't dislike the hug with Xia An, what about the kiss?
Overcoming his resistance, Ye Jin had the idea of trying it for the first time.
Xia An closed his eyes, but was still awake. His heart was beating very fast at this time, not only because he was held in Ye Jin's arms, but also because the other person's warm breath was brushing his cheek.
Even though he squinted and his vision was dark, Xia An felt that as long as he fumbled a little, he could kiss Ye Jin's lips.
It seems to be still getting closer.
Xia Anxin felt itchy and finally couldn't help it. She raised her head and looked for the warm and soft place of the other person...
