There are many booklets and folders stacked on the table, and Gao Xu turns on the photography function of his mobile phone and places it on the edge of the table to adjust the shooting angle. Then he picked up the old radio and said to Deng Jiamin: "This kind of radio has a very simple structure and function. ”

In response, Xiao Deng looked at Gao Xu with an embarrassed but polite smile, and his eyes still carried the reluctance that followed him.

She stared a little blankly at the strange man, fiddling with the radio here.

Gao Xu tuned in for a while, and the sound of the broadcast frequency came from the radio. He exhaled and said with satisfaction: "This is the station, I often listen to it in the car." ”

Xiao Deng glanced at the folder on the desktop, but Gao Xu didn't start working, so she didn't say anything. The two sat facing each other, silently looking at the old-fashioned radio in the middle of the table and listening to the songs playing inside.

After a song, the host's voice came from inside, and said the phone number, everyone is welcome to order the track.

So Gao Xu asked for Xiao Deng's mobile phone and started calling.

After connecting, Gao Xu said: "Hello host, today is May 17, 508 AD, right?" I'm afraid I've misremembered the date. ”

The host said, "Yes, this gentleman is not mistaken, today is May 17, 508 A.D., 8:10 a.m. ”

Gao Xu said: "I want to order a song "The Rain of Yuhuatai" to wish me and my employee Deng Jiamin a smooth cooperation in the future." As he spoke, he glanced at Xiao Deng, who avoided his gaze a little embarrassed.

The host said, "Okay." ”

After Gao Xu thanked him, he hung up the phone and returned the phone to Xiao Deng.

The radio was heard by the host, repeating the greetings that Gao Xu had requested, and then the prelude to the song soon sounded. A slightly classical melody came out of the radio and spread across the second floor of the bubble tea shop, where there were only two customers.

In the prelude to the music, the host recited in a rather emotional voice and with sadness: "There is a young woman in the city that never sleeps, nostalgic for the past, and there seems to be an old man in the rain." Please listen to "The Rain of Yuhuatai". ”

"Last year's laughter, this year's sorrow, only the light rain is still vague. Walking in this rainy city that never sleeps, where will I go? Born like a rootless duckweed, please stay away from sadness, abandon illusions, and never come to Yuhuatai......"

The songs of the graceful style are sung unhurriedly, with some poetic nostalgia and a little moaning without illness. But the tone is really nice and sad.

Gao Xu found that Xiao Deng lowered his head, as if he was a little sad, so he asked, "What?" ”

Her voice was slightly choked: "It's okay, it's just that this song is a little sad." ”

Gao Xu said: "I picked a random one, mainly because I think it sounds good." ”

He turned off the radio, picked up a booklet and said, "Here's the setting and narration of the whole story, you see, I'll talk about it first." ”

Xiao Deng straightened up, exhaled, took the booklet, and looked at Gao Xu with a reluctant smile.

Gao Xu began to tell the story. is basically based on the "Dream Hunting" in the memory, but in order to cater to the familiarity of the audience, the Mexican Day of the Dead was changed to the Yin Day of the Dead.

When a person dies, he has a soul and will enter a wonderful underworld. When no one in the world remembers him, the soul will

"Absolute death" turned into a fallen petal and scattered with the wind.

MiG, a twelve-year-old boy from a family of cobblers, has had a musical dream since he was a child, but music is forbidden by the family, and they think they are cursed by music (suspense). While secretly pursuing his musical dreams, Miguel accidentally enters the underworld, where he meets the spirits of his family.

The story is about family, reunion, dreams, music, adventure, good and evil. There are also elements of comical and a happy ending in which sincerity and goodness ultimately triumph over hypocrisy and evil.

Xiao Deng gradually became fascinated by the listening. When Gao Xu saw her expression, he suddenly had a little more confidence in this work.

I don't know how long it took, but the story was finally told. Xiao Deng hadn't come back to his senses yet, his eyes were red.

Gao Xu was silent for a while, letting her settle down a little. She spoke first, "It's been a long time since I've heard anything like this...... Fantastical story. ”

"It's not about setting." Gao Xu smiled. He felt that the emotional misunderstanding between father and son and the final untie of the knot seemed to be a bit old-fashioned; But Deng is right, it's still an excellent story.

He said: "In terms of plot, the front should mislead the audience, and the latter part can have the effect of reversing the unexpected, so don't hint too early." Ike the Soul Tramp was at first a bit of a ruffian, a funny scoundrel, and an unwelcome funny persona. In this way, it is not easy for the audience to see his selfless and kind side, and it can have the effect of laughing with tears. ”

Xiao Deng nodded in agreement while recording.

Gao Xu said: "Emotional fullness is the top priority, try to make the feelings sincere and warm, if you want to succeed, you must earn people's tears." What kind of feelings can move people, I think they are real and reasonable feelings, we have to do it with our hearts when making the plot. The story is fake, but the feelings must be true. ”

The two communicated for a while, and Xiao Deng began to figure out the story as a whole. Gao Xu also stayed here, continuing to ponder and recall the subtle insights of the details.

This bubble tea shop is a bit nondescript, but it's a great place to do things. There are few customers and no one to disturb, and you can even eat and drink on the spot.

After only one day, Xiao Deng no longer questioned that Gao Xu was seriously working on an animation project. And she is very dedicated and enthusiastic about her work, even if she leaves work after dark, she still has no complaints. This is one of the reasons why Gao Xu likes to hire young people.

The two of them went out early and returned late and fought for more than ten days in a row.

Meeting every morning at 8 a.m., they worked on the second floor until dark, and Gao Xu was in charge of checking the contents, making requests, and adding some details. The rest is written by Xiao Deng alone. Lunch and dinner are solved in the bubble tea shop, the food is not very good, but the calories are enough to meet the work consumption. At the end of the day, Gao Xu sent Xiao Deng back to school and then home. All of a sudden, life became extremely regular.

Gao Xu had been preparing for a long time and had a complete content, but he was very demanding and striving for perfection, so it took more than ten days to produce a beautiful and perfect script.

A thick, very detailed script closes. Xiao Deng put his hand on the cover and exhaled a long breath, a satisfied and happy smile on his face. The reluctance and embarrassment in her smile finally stopped appearing this time.

Gao Xu stretched out his hand and said, "Thank you, Xiao Deng." ”

Xiao Deng was stunned for a moment, reached out and gently held Gao Xu's hand, his face was slightly unnatural, "Mr. Liu is polite, I should do it." The best part is in the creation, and I didn't help much. ”

"The young man is quite modest." Gao Xu sat down, thought for a while, and said, "I've been tired of you lately, starting tomorrow, you can rest." According to what we said, the salary will be paid until the release. When the time comes, if I make money, I will not forget Xiao Deng's bonus. ”

Xiao Deng smiled and said, "It will definitely be a big success." ”

Gao Xu asked casually, "Really?" ”

"Hmm!" Xiao Deng nodded and said, "I haven't seen such a good script for many years." Mr. Liu should be more confident. ”

Gao Xu smiled bitterly: "The risk I have to take is not only this. ”

Xiao Deng said softly: "It's the same, it's like me, just get a salary." ”

Gao Xu looked thoughtful and was silent for a while. He finally came back to his senses, looked at Xiao Deng and smiled, and then began to pack up the papers on the desktop.

He straightened his purse, stood up and said, "Then let's go." ”

The two of them went downstairs and got on the little silver horse. Xiao Deng was no longer as restrained as he was at the beginning, so he naturally got into the passenger seat. Gao Xu was also familiar with the road to the Drama Academy, and drove straight along the road.

The low-end model of the luxury brand is still quiet and comfortable in the car, with only slight tire noise.

Xiao Deng asked: "On the day we met for the second time, the song on demand was called "The Rain of Yuhuatai"? ”

Gao Xu nodded, turned on the multimedia, and selected the song on the touch screen. It was because he had heard it in the car and thought it was okay that he ordered this song casually that day.

For the sake of a natural atmosphere, Gao Xu asked, "Have you ever been to Jingshi?" ”

"Nope." Little Deng Dao.

Gao Xu said: "Actually, it is very close to Suzhou. ”

There was a singing voice from the car stereo, "Last year's laughter, this year's sorrow, only the light rain is still vague." Walking in this rainy city that never sleeps, where will I go......"

After a while, Xiao Deng's voice suddenly said, "We, when will we meet again?" ”

Gao Xu turned his head to look at her. She didn't dodge this time, and looked at Gao Xu with strange eyes.

"If you don't start, you can save a lot of things." Gao Xu pointed to the stereo and said softly and casually, "I said this song." ”

Xiao Deng immediately lowered his head and pinched the corner of the blue and red plaid shirt with both hands.

Gao Xu continued: "You take a break for a while. When it comes to production, the director may communicate with the screenwriter. At that time, you can be my assistant, or you can communicate with the director alone when I am not available. I think Xiao Deng has fully understood the essence of this script. ”

"Hmm." Xiao Deng nodded.

After a while, Xiao Deng said, "Just stop here, I'll walk back." ”

Gao Xu put his foot on the brakes.

Xiao Deng whispered again, "When you sent me, I was seen by a classmate once. They said that I had a luxury car to pick me up, and they misunderstood that I was being raised. I explained, but it's better not to be seen by acquaintances again. ”

Gao Xu smiled bitterly: "Okay, goodbye." ”

Xiao Deng opened the car door and turned his head to look at him: "When Mr. Liu needs me, call to inform." ”

"Okay." Gao Xue said.
