In the slightly dimly lit restaurant, tables are arranged, and each table is placed with tender green sofas on both sides. Each two dining tables are quite far apart, and there are also some green potted plants in the middle, so the private space is well protected.

Soft light music was fluttering in the restaurant. The waiters were wearing white shirts and brown vests, walking in the restaurant with a very elegant temperament, basically without making any sound. Driven by the atmosphere, the guests in the restaurant also consciously lowered the volume and tried to speak to each other as quietly as possible.

Two pairs of people sat by the window at the corner of the restaurant. On the sofa on the east side were Shen Huifang and Du An. opposite them were a bloated middle-aged woman and a pretty young girl.

Du An looked at the mother and daughter opposite with a polite smile. The middle-aged woman's voice kept burping into his ears: "...I have heard that Aunt Chen's house has a big director, and I finally saw it today. She is really a handsome talent, hahaha..."

The middle-aged woman smiled, Du An continued to laugh, and said modestly, "The big director dared not be a moviemaker." His eyes flashed to the young girl and found that the little girl listened quietly to them with a reserved attitude, with a ladylike style.

This middle-aged woman is Lao Li's wife that Shen Huifang mentioned to him before. Her surname is An. From her body shape, you can tell that her family is well-off and her food is good. The girl next to Aunt An is the niece of her family who works as a nurse in the Provincial Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. As Aunt An just introduced, she is named Chen Shasha. She is beautiful and has a slim figure. She must be many suitors in the hospital.

It is now the end of May. The late production of "The Pretty Beauty" has been completed. The film has finally been released for review. Now I am waiting for review. Du An is idle and has nothing to do every day. He either goes to the library or takes his own No. 11 self-service bus in Nanyang City. As a result, as soon as he fell in love today, he was pulled out to go on a blind date by Aunt Chen after spending a day at home. It was a coincidence that nurses in Grade A hospitals like Chen Shasha are usually very busy. They happened to have a break today, and the two idle people got together.

The couple politely praised each other for a long time. Duan's smile almost froze. Aunt An suddenly said casually: "By the way, Xiao Du, I read what I said in the newspaper. Did you make 500 million in that movie before?" The light in your eyes could not be hidden, just like a laser, it was about to shoot Duan through.

Du An nodded, fearing that the other party would misunderstand, and explained: "The box office is 500 million, but those that are not my money, they are all from the company, and my salary is 7,000."

"Oh, earning 7,000 in half a year is not a lot..."

Duane saw that the light in Aunt An's eyes suddenly dimmed a lot, from a 200-watt big light bulb to a 25-watt incandescent lamp, his smile was a little unnatural.

Seeing this, Shen Huifang quickly inserted: "Xiao Du has made another movie now, and it has already cost five million, right?" As she said that, she also took a special look at Du An.

Du An had no choice but to respond when he received Shen Huifang's eyes, "Well, I spent 5.5 million on shooting and post-production, and another 2 million on publicity."

After all, the film production is too far away from a petty class like them, and the amount of tens of thousands as the basic unit is even more irritating. So Aunt An's eyes lit up again, her smile rekindled, but she was still a little confused.

"Didn't you just take seven thousand? Where did these millions come from?"

She remembers the number seven thousand clearly.

“The company invested.”

"Oh, or just say that you people in the entertainment industry are different from our ordinary people. You can open your mouth and do it for millions or millions," Aunt An's eyes were full of doubts, but she paused in half. Her chubby fingers scratched her wrist, which was almost as thick as her niece's upper arm, and then continued, "Then how much can you make in this movie? It's not a few thousand, right?"

Without waiting for Du An to speak, she kept talking again: "Xiao Du, we have just entered the industry, so it is appropriate to pay some tuition, but you are now a teacher, so you can't do whatever others say. You have to have your own ideas. As you said just now, you have spent millions on this movie. You are the director, the director..." She thought for a long time but didn't know what the director was doing, so she simply said: "Hi, anyway, you are the director. If you want me to say, they won't agree to this movie if they don't give you a million!" At this point, she also said the last sentence earnestly: "Xiao Du, you can't be too honest in life. The old saying goes, people are bullied by others, and horses are ridden by others."

People who don’t know read it, they thought Duane was her son-in-law.

Du An didn't know how to explain to Aunt An. He was annoyed if he said too much, so he had to say, "Aunt An, it's not like that. I have to watch the box office of the movie as much as I can."

"oh……"

Aunt An now understands a little: It turns out that this kid means, even if he invests millions in this movie, how much he can get in the end is still an unknown number?

These people in the entertainment industry are just unreliable.

Just as Aunt An was about to continue to break the bastard and ask the whole thing, Shen Huifang spoke: "Yanhong, doesn't the street office have a party today? It's too late for us to not go."

An Yanhong was stunned: The street office had a party today? Why didn’t she know? But when she saw the old sisters, she also understood.

Forget it, leave the children’s affairs to talk about by themselves. Anyway, today is just a meal, so it’s not too late to understand some situations slowly.

"Oh, I forgot if you don't say it."

Then the two aunts left hand in hand.

Seeing the two aunts disappear from the restaurant door, Duan's smiles naturally fell.

This is too tiring, and the three sessions will be tried.

The lady opposite had been maintaining a reserved and elegant posture since she came in and had just maintained her reserved and elegant posture. At this moment, she finally chuckled, "My aunt is very naughty, right?"

The sound is crisp.

Du An shook his head and smiled, "Fortunately, my sister is much more talkative than your aunt. It sounds quite friendly."

"You are the first to say that my aunt is kind, it's so fresh,"

Chen Shasha said this and asked again: "Are you a director?"

Duane nodded, "Yeah." Then he realized that he seemed too cold to answer this, and added: "Didn't you know before?"

Chen Shasha said: "I don't watch movies much. Celebrities only know that there are a few Zhou Xingchi, Andy Lau, and Fa Ge, and the director doesn't know any of them. You don't know how busy we nurses are. Every day after work, we can't wait to jump into the bed immediately and have no time to watch movies."

Zhou Xingchi is also a director now, so you still know someone.

Du An thought so in his heart, but didn't say it, just continued to smile.

Chen Shasha took out a stack of things from the little Kun bag she was with her, and spread it out, and it turned out to be a stack of newspapers.

"Look," she pushed the newspaper in front of Duane, "It was all my aunt who sent me today, saying that she wanted me to hurry up and do my homework." She chuckled lightly at this point, as if she thought this was funny.

"That's really a pain for you. You have to do your homework on your rest days."

Duan said politely, flipping through the newspapers and taking a look.

"July "Kung Fu" is coming", "Gu Changwei's transformation to Virgo "Peacock" is a hit in the internal preview", "Huang Shengyi Zhang Jingchu booked the Huabiao Award for Best Newcomer"...

It is basically news about several other movies that were released in July, but without exception, each report mentioned "Fengyue Pretty Beauty" which was also released in July: some mentioned it naturally when they were scheduled for the same period of "Kung Fu", and some mentioned it by Zhang Jingchu who auditioned for "Fengyue Pretty Beauty" and finally chose "Peacock" and followed the trend.

There is no exception. When every report mentions "The Pretty Beauty", it can be seen from the lines that they are not optimistic about this film. First of all, this movie was made by Duane, and what was Duane's previous work? "Saw", a horror film. A wild way, it seems that there is still some luck in making bloody horror films, but it doesn't grasp this luck and insists on changing to shoot urban love comedy. Isn't this asking for death? Does he know what a romantic movie is? That's not something like "Saw" that steals love and yells twice. What's more, it's an urban love comedy. In the past, is there any movie that is outstanding in this niche genre?

Secondly, due to the past storm, Duane's reputation was not very good. Under the overwhelming media reports at the time, many viewers also had the impression of "moral corruption" of the director. This alone would probably have many viewers refused to watch this video.

Finally, none of the starring actors of the movie "Fengyue Pretty" are famous, and they insist on taking a big guy from the short man, so Duan, the male lead is the most famous - God, what's even more ridiculous is that this film is not only the second film of the novice, but also directed and acted by himself. Does Duan think he is Zhou Xingchi?

Directors with bad reputation, self-directors and self-actors who are not famous, and starring without fame, have a total production cost of only a few million, and there is no successful precedent... "Fengyue Pretty" has almost collected all the characteristics of bad movies. Everyone seems to have seen the birth of a bad movie, so it is no wonder that the media is so unpopular with "Fengyue Pretty" and is too lazy to mention it for a few more times. After all, what the audience likes to watch is controversial and uncertain, such as whether "Kung Fu" can break the myth of "Hero"? Who is more hopeful of winning the Huabiao Award for Best Newcomer? Will Gu Changwei succeed in transforming from photography to director? As for the foregone conclusion, for example, "Fengyue Pretty" is a foreseeable bad movie, the audience will not be interested, and the media naturally don't bother to write it.

"You are the first director I met."

Chen Shasha held her chin with one hand and stared at Duane with her fingers, saying, "But the media doesn't seem to be optimistic about your movie."

Duane pushed the newspaper aside and continued to smile: "It's normal. I'm a little director. Our crew is a little crew. It's definitely not comparable to blockbusters like "Kung Fu"."

He said, staring at Chen Shasha quietly.

Although today's blind date was arranged by Shen Huifang, he actually had this meaning - he was probably in a hurry, so he agreed to Shen Huifang's arrangement and did not resist and let Shen Huifang dress up like this now, like a peeled egg.

He is not young anymore and really wants to have a relationship. He wants to give himself a chance.

But looking at Chen Shasha and watching quietly, he could not find the feeling of spring at that time. In fact, the Miss Chen Shasha in front of him was quite beautiful, and there were only one or two of his female classmates in college at this level.

Maybe the moon is not round enough today?

He turned his head and looked out through the window at the sky outside.

It's really not round enough.

So is the full moon on the seventh day of the first lunar month?

He turned his head over, and recalled this way, and his eyes unconsciously continued to stare at Chen Shasha.

Maybe you should learn to howl like a werewolf? Maybe you can find a feeling of spring...

The little girl was easily shy. After being stared at him like a pervert for a long time, Chen Shasha couldn't bear it anymore. Two faint blush appeared on her cheeks, and she lowered her head slightly, like a quail.

"Hello!"

The little girl angrily made her startled Du An's thoughts, "What's wrong?"

Chen Shasha raised her eyelids, glanced at Du An, silently said, "Is it time to order food?"

Du An realized that he had been sitting in the restaurant for so long. He first talked to Chen Shasha's aunt, and then to Miss Chen Shasha. He had not ordered food yet. So he quickly called the waiter over and asked Chen Shasha to order a few dishes.

The whole dining process was quiet.

Duan doesn't like to talk when eating, but Chen Shasha doesn't know why she doesn't talk, so Duan is happy to eat with peace of mind, thinking about how to make herself rush to Chen Shasha.

Thinking that the meal was over, Duane had no idea, so he had to give up this idea for the time being.

After the meal, the two sat and chatted, then went outside to hold the road for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, Du An sent Chen Shasha home.

“I had a lot of fun today.”

At the entrance of Chen Shasha's unit building, the little girl said to him.

Chen Shasha was looking at him at this moment, her eyes shining like stars in the sky.

Du An has been a man who has been a screenwriter twice, especially "The Pretty Beauty" is a romantic film. As the saying goes, he has never eaten pork and seen pig run. He understands that he should say now, "Then can I still have an appointment with you next time?" or ask for a phone number directly.

But he just nodded after all, smiled and said, "Me too." Then he looked at Chen Shashamo standing for a while, then turned around, opened the unit door, closed it, and the footsteps of the upstairs slowly faded away, gradually disappearing.

Duane looked at the sky and saw a sharp corner of the moon from the black clouds. It was a crescent moon.

He just confirmed in the restaurant.

"Aowoo!..."

He screamed in the sky like a lunatic, which caused the lights of a family on the third floor to light up. An aunt poked out from the window and cursed, "It's so much that she's called her soul in the middle of the night!"

Duan ran away with his head in his arms, and the appearance of a short-haired woman appeared and faintly appeared in his mind.

"Little Red Man runs fast!"

He left the aunt's curse behind her.
