Chapter 75：

Pei Mingzhan let go of Zhao Yao after a meeting.

Zhao Yao looked at Pei Mingzhan in front of him and smiled slightly: "Is it really coming?"

"I miss you." Pei Mingzhan reached out and pinched Zhao Yao's face, and asked, "Why don't you wear more clothes? It's quite windy here."

"It's okay, it's not that cold."

Zhao Yao looked at Pei Mingzhan, who was still wearing a mask, but he looked very energetic. He looked into Pei Mingzhan's eyes, and when he looked closely, it was indeed very similar to Pepe when he was a child, "Why didn't I recognize it before?"

"Well, I've changed quite a bit when I was young. I shaved an inch at that time." Pei Mingzhan hugged him, "Don't move, I'll hug you for a while."

Zhao Yao was hugged by him and leaned back against Pei Mingzhan's warm body. He could feel the heat from his body, blocking him from a large amount of cold wind. Not far away, the lights at the gate of Zheng's house were still on. From Zhao Yao's angle, he could see the security guard's half coat.

This is the Zheng family, not the Zhao family.

When Pei Mingzhan said it, he really came, and he also asked him out not far from the Zheng family's house. Zhao Yao always had a strange feeling that the two seemed to be secretly avoiding others to fall in love.

In the final analysis, he is young now, but in fact his experience and mental age are much older than Pei Mingzhan, but even so, he followed Pei Mingzhan to the wind whistling trail, when he was hugged by him. There is indeed an indescribable feeling, as if you can feel the thumping heartbeat of the body behind you.

"Wait a few days and come to my house?" Pei Mingzhan's voice sounded from his ear.

Zhao Yao paused slightly, "Do you live there?"

"What's wrong with staying with me?" Pei Mingzhan chuckled in a low voice, "Is there anything wrong with staying at my boyfriend's house?"

Zhao Yao frowned slightly: "Your family doesn't know our relationship yet, it's not appropriate for me to come here."

If it was in City S, it wouldn't matter if he lived at Pei Mingzhan's house or Pei Mingzhan's house, but in City H, Pei Mingzhan lived with his family.

"If you're worried about this, I'll ask someone to clean my apartment." Pei Mingzhan smiled: "I have an apartment, but I haven't been there for a long time. How are you getting along with the Zheng family? I haven't been back for so long. , won't you get used to it?"

Zhao Yao paused slightly: "It's okay, I originally planned to stay for a few days, but Xiaobai also asked me to book a plane ticket to go back for the Chinese New Year."

But the people in the Zheng family were too enthusiastic. Originally, he had booked a hotel, but his aunt knew about it from Uncle Wang, saying that it was not appropriate to stay in a hotel here, and asked them to come directly to stay at home.

So the visit turned into a home stay. He was not impressed by the Zheng family, but he always felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity when he came here. "Fortunately, Uncle Wang is used to the H city, so it doesn't really matter where he lives."

"Stubborn." Pei Mingzhan put his head on Zhao Yao's shoulder, "What about you, are you used to it?"

Zhao Yao paused slightly: "Fortunately, they are very enthusiastic."

In fact, most of his mind was still thinking about the photo, and he was a little new to the fact that the two had known each other when they were young, but he couldn't remember clearly what happened when he was a child. Knowing Pepe, he also remembered a vague impression, "You Then why stay short?"

"I thought it was cool at that time. My brother had a classmate who liked to keep a short head. He was handsome and cool. At that time, children always liked to follow the trend, so they shaved it like him." Pei Mingzhan asked, "What? I saw the photo. Do you dislike me for being ugly when I was a child?"

"It's pretty cute, but it's a bit of an accident." Zhao Yao thought about it carefully, "I don't remember it too clearly. I remember that you were fierce when you were a child, and it's completely different from you now."

"How do you compare what happened when you were young? You were very shy and blushed when you were young, so why do you have a cold face all day?" Pei Mingzhan said again, "Do you mind if I know about what happened when you were young, but I didn't tell you?"

"I was a little skeptical at first, but I thought that it was me who met you, and I wouldn't take the initiative to tell it when we first met." Zhao Yao's neck was a little itchy after being rubbed by Pei Mingzhan, "Then our relationship got better after that. Why didn't you tell me?"

"It's boring for me to just tell you about this kind of memory." Pei Mingzhan rubbed his face, "I'll tell you about your childhood when you think about it someday."

Zhao Yao was hot and itchy by his rubbing. Why didn't he find that Pei Mingzhan liked to rub against him so much before, he raised his hand slightly and pulled Pei Mingzhan's mask off, tilted his head and kissed the corner of Pei Mingzhan's mouth.

Pei Mingzhan paused for a while, and when he turned sideways, he noticed the vague figure on the second floor of the Zheng family.

...

In the morning, the Zheng family was having breakfast.

Zhao Yao sat in it and looked at the H City side dishes on the table, and he missed it a little. He took a few chopsticks and tried it. Although it was a little different from what Pei Mingzhan did, he still had that taste.

The people of the Zheng family are very enthusiastic. They have not seen each other very often, but the atmosphere is very good.

It's not quite the same as Yao Bai's house, but it also has a warm atmosphere.

Aunt talked about the New Year and asked Zhao Yao if he had anything to prepare.

Zhao Yao paused for a while, thought about it, and said, "Not yet."

Aunt nodded, "Xiaoqi told me in the morning that you don't seem to like drinking very much, and I asked Uncle Wang again. He said that you have not been drinking alcohol recently. , can I have tea next time?"

Zhao Yao said: "It's okay, you can arrange it."

He looked at Zheng Leqi, the younger of the two brothers, and he was staring at him at the dinner table yesterday.

"If you have other tastes, remember to tell your aunt. You're welcome." After finishing speaking, the uncle said, "Let's stay here for the New Year this year. After all, we won't have a few days. After the year, we will stay for a while?"

Zhao Yao didn't expect his uncle to be so enthusiastic, so he could only say: "These will be arranged at that time."

Zheng Leqi was still a little absent-minded when he woke up the next day, especially when he saw Zhao Yao at the dinner table, he felt uncomfortable when he wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask. He saw that his cousin hugged and kissed that person, and the relationship was very close. He should be a man according to his height, which made him even more curious...

Zhao Yao tilted his head and glanced at Zheng Leqi, who avoided his gaze again.

Why is this kid always looking at him?

The New Year's event at the Zheng family was settled. After eating, Zhao Yao went back to his room and saw Chen Xi text him. I'm talking about "Shadow". During this time, "Shame" was a big hit. It was really bad a while ago, but after the smooth resolution, it attracted more enthusiasm to "Shame", and the expected revenue increased. several times.

Zhao Yao is quite satisfied with the result. Not only that, but "Li Meng" has also successfully passed the trial, and will wait for the broadcast to be finalized. If there is no accident, it should be broadcast after this year. The timing is unfortunate. It may be at the end of the holiday, or the time may be postponed later. It depends on the schedule.

In addition, Chen Xi also sent a list of projects for next year. Huihua has not invested in many projects, and they are more expensive. Since the word of mouth was released, many producers or directors have come to discuss cooperation, and the backlog has been accumulated in Huihua. There are a lot of projects over there, which is why Chen Xi worked overtime years ago. He finally made the expected project list a year ago, and the rest will be evaluated and reviewed after a year to select the best choices.

This project list was also sent to Zhao Yao. Zhao Yao glanced at the projects. There were two projects that he had heard of in his previous life, but he was not impressed by many other projects. Only one drama made him stop. Stop looking.

This is an urban love drama. Different from the conventional love stories in the past, the idea and plot of this love drama are very novel, which makes people feel a little refreshing at first glance, but the plot is not suitable for the current market situation. Zhao Yao glanced at the preliminary evaluation in the project table. The story outline is good, but the project team is a little worse.

He glanced at the script for several episodes in the appendix, opened it and frowned slightly after reading it a few times. This script...

He mentioned a few good projects to Chen Xi, and finally when it came to this love drama, he asked if the team could be reorganized?

Now Chen Xi is curious, because this type of TV series can be said to be mainstream, and the probability of urban romances being a big hit is average, but it is stable and expected that the investment has a high probability of returning to the capital, and the expected investment is not a big investment. This drama has a team and all newcomers. Because the story is novel in the same urban drama, it was selected and submitted by the evaluation team. Chen Xi was a little surprised. I don't know why Zhao Yao mentioned the issue of changing the production team.

"This team is a newcomer. The problem is not the production of the newcomer team, but the script." Zhao Yao called Chen Xi.

Chen Xi has seen every project and thinks the story is really good, so he asked: "How come? I read the script quite well, and the type of story is rare in current urban dramas."

"Don't look at the surface, take a look at the scripts of the episodes in the attachment." Zhao Yao said simply: "For example, the hero and heroine clips in the first episode, the outline of the story is very imaginative, but when it comes to this script The problem comes, the routines are old and not new, and the plot is described step by step, as if the story and the script are completely separate."

Chen Xi paused for a moment, so he also opened the script to see the situation. He didn't watch many urban dramas, but he also watched a lot of plot scenes when watching the project evaluation. After watching the first episode of this script, you can imagine what will happen next. The plot that happened is indeed very different from the imagination space given in the synopsis of the story.

"Is this project not an IP adaptation?" Zhao Yao asked.

Chen Xi said: "This is not the case. If the IP is adapted, we will consider the popularity of the original work. These will be indicated in the project evaluation. This project is an original script, and the script is the work of a well-known screenwriter in the industry."

A good screenwriter has a good reputation, which is also one of the criteria for the evaluation of the project team. Chen Xi also skipped the script question after reading the screenwriter's name. He didn't expect the script setting of the first episode to be so old-fashioned.

Zhao Yao paused for a while, "That's weird, this story doesn't fit in with the script at all, it's as if the screenwriter got a script frame and started filling in things." And the things filled in are very different from expectations, "Invest cautiously. Well, if it is this script, I feel that there is a high possibility of losing money."

Chen Xi also said, "I will have someone follow up on this issue."

Zhao Yao said: "Okay, hang up."

After Chen Xi waited for President Zhao to hang up the phone, he turned out the scripts of other projects, and thought of something. Why did President Zhao know so much about romance films? The film's routine, but Mr. Zhao easily pointed out the problem...

He suddenly remembered the last time he went to Mr. Zhao's house to see those discs, and thought that although Mr. Zhao had changed careers to engage in entertainment, it was indeed rare to devote himself to learning such good qualities.

-*

After Zhao Yao hung up the phone, he received a call from Pei Mingzhan, who said he came to pick him up and was downstairs.

Pei Mingzhan came to visit today and brought something specially. The Zheng family had less contact with the Pei family, and occasionally visited with gifts. Uncle and aunt had already greeted the Master for tea and chat, and after chatting for a while, they realized that Pei Mingzhan was here to find Zhao Yao. The uncle asked the servant to go upstairs to tell Zhao Yao, and here he chatted with Pei Mingzhan about business.

Pei Mingzhan, the national actor, many of Zheng Leqi's friends and classmates are all fans of Pei Mingzhan. In the circle of H City, there are many people who know Pei Mingzhan's deeds. Some people think that Pei Mingzhan is ignorant and stubborn, but in their eyes, people like Pei Mingzhan who dare to resist family arrangements to enter the entertainment industry, also People who have made great achievements are really admired by them.

Zheng Leqi noticed Pei Mingzhan when he went downstairs to get something, it should be said that he noticed the scarf that Pei Mingzhan was wearing. He had just seen this scarf yesterday. His cousin wore this color scarf when he first entered the house. At first glance, it looked like the same one.

He couldn't help thinking of the person his cousin went out to meet last night, and wondered if it was Pei Mingzhan, right?

Pei Mingzhan tilted his head slightly, noticing the boy who had been looking at him. When he was waiting for Zhao Yao outside last night, he noticed a figure on the second floor of the villa. At that time, Zhao Yao turned his back to the villa and didn't notice anyone, but he saw that the man standing at the balcony had not left...

Is it the youngest son of the Zheng family?

When Zhao Yao went downstairs, he knew that Pei Mingzhan had arrived for a while before calling him.

Aunt knew that the two children had a good relationship. Seeing that her husband and Pei Mingzhan were having a good chat, she pulled his sleeve to remind him of the situation, and said, "Mingzhan is here to find Xiaoyao, the weather will be fine, you two. Would you like to go out for a walk?"

When the two of them went out, Zheng Leqi's eyes still stopped at the door. At this time, his father said, "Xiaoqi, don't stare at people all the time. You just looked at Pei Mingzhan several times. It's rude."

At this time, my aunt added: "Didn't you mention Pei Mingzhan before, saying that someone in your class wants to get his autograph, and when your cousin comes back later, you can ask him, your cousin has a good relationship with him. ."

Zheng Leqi said: "Mom, is cousin Pei Yingdi a good relationship?"

He didn't tell the story about his cousin hugging someone last night. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was Pei Mingzhan.

Aunt said: "That's not true. Your cousin came to live at home before, and Pei Mingzhan lived next door to our house. The two used to play together when they were young."

-*

Pei Mingzhan drove, and the two quickly went to a famous local square. When they got off the bus, Pei Mingzhan put a hat on Zhao Yao and handed him a mask.

"Do you mean that the script is strange?" Pei Mingzhan helped him straighten his hat and continued the topic of the two of them in the car just now.

"Well." Zhao Yao mentioned about Chen Xi's new investment project. He was originally interested in the outline of the story, but the quality of the script was not as good as expected, "I know that most of the content in your script is based on the performance of the actors. I don’t know much either, but I’m not satisfied with the script.”

"The script of a few episodes can't really tell anything. The production still depends on the director, actors and production team, but according to what you said, you should be careful when you encounter fraudulent investment." Pei Mingzhan told him about the circle. About cheating investment, "But I have heard of the screenwriter you mentioned, and there are no rumors of this kind. That may be another reason."

"For example?" Zhao Yao asked.

Pei Mingzhan said: "The frame of the story and the script are written by two people. It is very common in the screenwriting circle to find ghostwriters or sign someone's script."

Zhao Yao frowned slightly: "If that's the case, it's a pity for this frame."

"Generally speaking, since the story frame is proposed by the author, no matter how bad the script is written, it can't be bad in the first few episodes. The script routine at the beginning is too old to attract people, then the selling point in the back is actually difficult. Get up." Pei Mingzhan walked side by side with him, the two avoided the crowd in the square and walked to the nearby shopping mall building, "I think it's right not to invest, it's too risky."

"Chen Xi gave me only the initial evaluation form, and the company's internal follow-up evaluation of the project has not yet come out." Zhao Yao said: "No wonder the initial evaluation left this project, the framework is too good."

Pei Mingzhan paused for a moment: "If you regret this framework, and the subsequent screenwriter will not consider changing the script, why don't you consider buying the copyright?"

There are a lot of things to consider, at least until the full evaluation information comes out.

Zhao Yao: "Let's talk about it."

As the Chinese New Year is approaching, there are a lot of people in the mall on this side of the square, and there is no time for people to take care of other scenes. Pei Mingzhan and Zhao Yao were in the crowd, but no one paid special attention to them.

It was the first time for Zhao Yao to come to a shopping mall with so many people. If he didn't pay attention, the two of them were almost scattered by the oncoming crowd. "There are a lot of people."

Pei Mingzhan took Zhao Yao's hand and said, "Let's walk up, there are relatively few people above."

The bottom is the parity area, and a lot of people scattered on the third floor. The two had no purpose for this trip. Pei Mingzhan took him out for a walk because he was worried that Zhao Yao would be too bored at Zheng's house. Soon Zhao Yao noticed a men's clothing store not far away.

When he has nothing to do, he loves to search for news about Pei Mingzhan on the Internet. In addition to the consistent beautiful pictures, he also has a blog about Pei Mingzhan's outfits. With this attention, it is easy to notice that fans mentioned Pei Mingzhan's outfits. They felt that most of Pei Mingzhan's clothes were in cool tones. He was obviously a young man, but his clothes were not eye-catching at all.

"Buying clothes?" Pei Mingzhan noticed Zhao Yao's gaze.

Zhao Yao nodded, and the two went in to have a look.

The shopping guide came over quickly, and when he asked about his needs, Zhao Yao took the initiative to bring up a set of orange-colored clothes on the top left. Pei Mingzhan was a little surprised when he saw this, because this doesn't seem to be Zhao Yao's style of dressing. In his impression, Zhao Yao's travel has always been a simple combination of black and white, and occasionally wears gray and blue, and rarely touches these bright colors.

Zhao Yao looked at the clothes that the shopping guide took down, pointed at Pei Mingzhan and said, "Is there a larger yardage? Take one according to him and try it."

The clothes and accessories on the two guests are either rich or expensive. The shopping guide has been trained in the store for so many years. She glanced at Pei Mingzhan's height and smiled: "Yes, you two wait a moment. "

"Your fans say that you don't wear brighter clothes very often. I think the one just now suits you very well." Zhao Yao swept the clothes around and wanted to pick a few more pieces for Pei Mingzhan.

"My friend said that after falling in love, he can't help but buy clothes for his boyfriend." Pei Mingzhan rubbed his head, a little regretful that he didn't rub his hair, "I think you have this habit recently, the scarf at my house. There have been several."

Zhao Yao paused for a while, but Pei Mingzhan didn't say anything, he didn't notice this, "Will you?"

The shopping guide quickly found where the clothes came from, so Pei Mingzhan said, "This style is one size smaller."

The shopping guide didn't react a bit, thinking that the clothes just brought in didn't fit. Later, when the two handsome guys in front of him were talking, he immediately reacted, "Wait a minute."

This tone is indeed very bright, but Pei Mingzhan is suitable, but he may not be suitable.

After the shopping guide brought it over, Zhao Yao held the hanger and hesitated for a while, while Pei Mingzhan had already tried on the clothes and came out.

Zhao Yao's eyes lit up, "You look good in this set."

Seeing that he hadn't gone to try on the clothes, Pei Mingzhan urged, "Quickly change, didn't you say you want to wear bright colors? Young people, don't wear those old-fashioned clothes."

Zhao Yao came in originally wanting to pick a few clothes for Pei Mingzhan, but every time he took one, Pei Mingzhan told the shopping guide to add another one. more and more.

The shopping guide originally thought that these two handsome guys were a bit strange. Whenever they took one, they asked for another, but as they took more and more, the shorter handsome guy said it very plainly. Now, her performance suddenly went up several points, and she became more diligent with clothes.

You must know that they may not be able to sell a piece of clothing in a day here. The customers in the shopping malls here are middle and low-level consumers, and the prices of their brands are on the high side. The headquarters opened a branch here. Whenever the performance is counted, their store is at the bottom. Now it's good. These two handsome guys bought clothes so readily that they directly pulled up their store's performance this month.

It's just that the two handsome guys are very strange. They don't take off their masks or hats when trying on clothes.

There was also a little girl at the counter. Seeing the shopping guide bringing her clothes, she was surprised: "Another one?"

"Two pieces, two pieces." The shopping guide said with a smile: "Young people are different now, and it is popular to wear brother clothes."

After the two of them bought clothes, they had many bags, so Pei Mingzhan had to leave an address for them to deliver to the door, and then took Zhao Yao out. After they walked out the door, the girl at the counter paused for a while when she saw the surname Pei above, "I looked at that handsome guy, and he looked a little like Pei Mingzhan."

After walking around, they were a little tired. The two found a Starbucks to rest. Zhao Yao flipped through the photo album on his phone, which contained a few photos of Pei Mingzhan he had just taken. Pei Mingzhan is a natural clothes hanger. The effect of this casual shot is also very significant. He has a good figure and long legs. The more he looks, the more he likes it.

"What's wrong?" Pei Mingzhan saw Zhao Yao staring at him.

Zhao Yao said: "Nothing."

As soon as he finished speaking, his phone rang. Weibo followed the update of the blogger who reminded him to follow, and when he clicked in, he found that Pei Mingzhan had posted a photo of two drinks on the table, "Have you posted on Weibo?"

"Yeah." Pei Mingzhan swiped his phone, and many fans had already started leaving messages. He said, "I'm out playing with you, and I can't post your photos, so I took this photo. It's a pity that I'm still a public figure, and some works. We have to consider the impact when broadcasting, otherwise we should send photos to declare sovereignty.”

Declare sovereignty...?

Zhao Yao paused slightly and looked down at the photos on the phone.

The author has something to say: Pei Mingzhan: When I have no works...

Brother Lao: What are you thinking about? ? ?
