Zhou Ze narrowed his eyes and nodded at Wang Yi, vividly expressing the surprise, politeness, and unfamiliarity that he should have felt when meeting Wang Yiyi here.
This is the second time they have met in public, except for the time when Wang Yiyi had a bad face.
The first time they met was when Wang Yiyi just returned to China, her manager Sister Qing told her that Director Yang had invited her to attend her birthday party.
Director Yang was the director of the movie that Wang Yiyi failed to star in five years ago due to an accident. We had occasional contact in the past five years, but there was no cooperation, so when she received the invitation, she was very flattered.
Wang Yiyi is a person who misses old friendships very much. She will definitely remember the good things others did to her. It's hard for Director Yang to still remember her. This time she will do whatever she says.
Director Yang is talented in both virtue and art, but he has always kept a low profile, so the people who can be invited to attend Director Yang's 60th birthday party must be actors who have worked with him and are close friends, directors, juniors, etc. These people are well known in the industry.
They are all very important.
Of course, Sister Qing had selfish motives. On the one hand, she wanted to tell everyone that Wang Yiyi was back; on the other hand, she also broke the rumors that Wang Yiyi had offended Director Yang by quitting the movie, thereby proving that their personal relationship was not bad.
It was under such circumstances that she and Zhou Ze met.
Wang Yiyi did not expect that he would meet Zhou Ze here, and Zhou Ze felt the same way.
This was their first meeting in five years after they said goodbye at the airport.
Sister Qing followed behind Wang Yiyi. She was even more nervous than she was. She kept asking her what she should pay attention to and which people she must remember. Wang Yiyi nodded in agreement.
Unprepared, he bumped into Zhou Ze and his team who were walking towards him. Lu Bin followed him. At this time, he followed Zhou Ze's line of sight and looked over. When he saw Wang Yiyi, he stopped talking.
chatter.
The directions of progress on both sides happen to be towards the same door.
They were the first among everyone present to see each other. After the others were forced to stop behind them, when they saw the people on the opposite side and knew the inside story, they all felt like a thousand grass and mud horses galloping past.
"Damn it, how could this happen?"
"I didn't say Zhou Ze would come."
"I didn't hear that Wang Yiyi was coming."
"What can we do?"
Others who didn't know what happened looked at each other and asked, "What is going on?"
"I do not know either."
The smile on Wang Yiyi's face didn't have time to take it back, it just froze on his face, which was uglier than crying.
Zhou Ze wasn't much better either. In the cool room in the summer, the sweat on his palms started to break out uncontrollably the moment he saw Wang Yiyi.
The air seemed to be still for a moment. The two of them looked at each other from a distance in the air, with people coming and going around them. They ignored everything around them and only saw each other.
If they were on the set at this moment and they were playing a pair of former lovers reunited after a long separation, then their acting skills would definitely win awards.
This moment was amplified by something and stretched infinitely. I don’t know how long it took. Finally, Lu Bin was afraid of causing a commotion, so he stretched out his hand and said to the person opposite: "Ladies first."
Sister Qing twitched her lips, but without any politeness, she embraced Wang Yiyi and entered the room.
Zhou Ze still clearly remembers that moment. The blood in his body surged to the top of his head, and his internal organs were clamoring to rush forward.
It's a pity that he didn't do this. It was probably Wang Yi's determination to turn around and leave that made him break away from the remaining fantasy.
In short, he didn't even see Director Yang that day, so he returned the same way.
More than three years have passed since this scene happened again to them.
Has it grown? Has it grown?
Mature? Not sure.
Even after they reconciled, they spent less time together and more time apart. At least until Wang Yi made him angry to the point of jumping away, Zhou Ze would still feel brighter every time they met again, even if this did not prevent them from arguing again a moment later.
Turned upside down.
"It's been a long time since you two have seen each other." The producer seemed to have deliberately not remembered the "chicken talk" backstage at the film festival that day. His fat body lay between the two of them, looking left and right, and finally turned to Wang Yi.
He added a slight accusation: "Last time Mr. Zhou treated us to a guest, Yi Yi was not there."
Wang Yi smiled awkwardly and put one hand on the elbow of the other arm. In front of the other party, his face was not red and his heart was not beating: "It was indeed something else last time."
Zhou Ze glanced at her vaguely, silently complaining in his heart: Can I still be a witness for you, but he could only say helpfully: "The appointment last time was indeed a bit sudden."
The producer shook his head and said it didn't matter, and there was a hint of expectation in his words. As soon as Wang Yi saw this change, he was instantly wary of what the producer was going to say next.
Sure enough, Mr. Zhang rubbed his hands together, with a smile on his face and a loud voice: "You two have known each other for a long time. Are you interested in collaborating on the next film?"
Wang Yi's expression changed, and he wanted to refuse directly without thinking, but the person next to him took over the conversation. He said: "What a coincidence, the next part of the drama has just been decided in the past few days."
"I know, I know," Mr. Zhang interrupted impatiently, "Time is not a problem, we can wait."
"Work-related matters are all prepared by the team, and I usually don't get involved." Zhou Ze spoke slowly, but changed the subject without leaving a trace, "But before joining the team, I still have a documentary to shoot, I don't know.
Would President Zhang be interested?"
Mr. Zhang has heard of that documentary. It is an official production and its quality and reputation must be guaranteed.
Comparing the two, which one is more important than other uncertain factors, Mr. Zhang quickly made a decision in his mind, "Yes, of course there is!"
"That's great!" Zhou Ze was already confident about President Zhang's choice. As he spoke, he had already put on his coat, shook off the non-existent wine stains on his sweater, and said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Zhang
Boss, that’s all for today? Look at my clothes.”
"Okay, okay," Mr. Zhang respectfully sent Zhou Ze out the door: "I'm waiting for your news."
The door of the lounge was opened from the inside. Lu Bin was guarding the door with a bag of clothes in his hand. When he saw them suddenly coming out, he couldn't help but take a step back.
There was also Sister Qing, who had no dealings with him, standing a few steps away as if keeping a safe distance.
Wang Yiyi stood there and was worrying about how to get out. When he saw Sister Qing, it was like seeing a life-saving straw. She lifted up her long skirt and walked out the door no matter how high the high heels were.
: "Sister Qing."
Wang Yiyi had been forced to stay here for so long and couldn't stay any longer. Sister Qing understood and hugged Wang Yiyi: "Mr. Zhang, please talk slowly, we'll leave first."
Mr. Zhang had retreated to the next best thing and won the finished project from Zhou Ze, and released it generously.
But he was still excited and wanted to say a few more words to Zhou Ze and Lu Bin.
Zhou Ze said, "Mr. Zhang, please stay. I'll ask them to send you the specific information another day."
