Chapter 256: An Unexpected Relationship, Choosing a Movie
After a difficult decision, reason triumphed over instinct.
Su Zhe helped Liu Heluo get dressed, let her lie on the sofa, and asked her:
"Are you Liu Heluo? Or Yuan Xiangqin?"
Liu Heluo replied aggrievedly:
"Of course I am Liu Heluo. I was just a little confused and accidentally called the wrong one."
She asked sheepishly:
"Su Zhe, are you jealous when I call other people's names right now? Are you angry?"
Of course Su Zhe won't be angry.
Jiang Naoshu was played by him, and he was even a character he "created" in this world. How could he be jealous?
"I'm just worried that you are hypnotized."
Su Zhe stared into Liu Heluo's eyes seriously and reminded her seriously.
Liu Heluo couldn't help but laugh:
"Hypnosis? Who hypnotized me? Why didn't I see the person holding a pocket watch and counting one, two, three to me?"
Su Zhe had previously thought that so-called hypnosis was just counting people with a pocket watch, which would quickly make people fall asleep.
That's purely artistic exaggeration.
Unless drugs are used, if someone can fall asleep within a few seconds, a hypnotist can make a fortune by treating insomnia at a high price.
But after the system rewarded the [Hypnosis] skill, although he was disappointed and found that it was actually very ordinary, it also made him understand the principle of hypnosis:
"Liu Heluo, what do you think is hypnosis? In fact, we have all been hypnotized. For example-"
He suddenly said:
"Just give it as a gift..."
Liu Heluo blurted out: "Brain gold!"
Su Zhe took out another piece of paper, wrote a well-known lyric in this world, and asked Liu Heluo to read it out.
She couldn't help but sing it. Although it was a little off-key, it was obviously not the tone of reading.
Liu Heluo looked at Su Zhe in surprise.
Su Zhe explained:
"You see, this is hypnosis. As long as your subconscious mind is changed unconsciously through the suggestion of external information, it is called hypnosis."
Liu Heluo couldn't hold it back anymore and asked:
"But what does this have to do with our... intimacy?"
Su Zhe looked at her with pity:
"In the crew, everyone calls you Yuan Xiangqin and me Jiang Zhishu. They hypnotized you and changed your subconscious."
She didn't think that she would become crazy if she became Yuan Xiangqin; but her subconscious mind became Yuan Xiangqin, and she couldn't help but make the same choice as Yuan Xiangqin.
Liu Heluo was stunned, and after a long while he stammered:
"No, no, right?"
Su Zhe rubbed her head:
"It doesn't matter. You are too involved in the drama now. You will get better after the filming is finished. It is only for a short period of time."
Liu Heluo felt lost, lying on the sofa and murmured:
"So after the filming is over, I won't like you that much?"
Su Zhe smiled:
"No, but if you still like me, I can be sure that these likes are real and not based on fictional characters, like a castle on the beach."
Liu Heluo looked at him blankly, then suddenly sat up and hugged Su Zhe tightly.
After a long time, she walked out of the room. Su Zhe looked at her back, nodded happily, and praised himself in his heart:
"I am really a great saint."
But after the great sage lay in bed, he tossed and turned, unable to sleep. As soon as he closed his eyes, he seemed to have returned to winter, and saw a few pink plum blossoms blooming proudly in the white snow...
"Fuck! How do you sleep here?"
Although reason has trumped instinct, instinct is still not convinced!
Su Zhe felt helpless, so he simply called the front desk and asked them to bring a bottle of white wine, deliberately without using the [wine bug], and poured it down.
I have no choice but to let my instincts get drunk...
Su Zhe drank the bitter wine of morality in the room, but after Liu Heluo went out, he always felt that he had nothing to talk about, and subconsciously made a choice like Yuan Xiangqin's.
She knocked on Wu Peipei's door and complained as soon as she entered:
"Pepe, I was rejected by Su Zhe."
Wu Peipei was stunned, thinking that Su Zhe had also rejected Lian Shiyuan's embrace before.
She had always thought that Su Zhe rejected Lian Shiyuan because he didn't like her, or because he wanted to keep his integrity. After all, they had only known each other for a few days and had no basis for feelings.
But he even rejected Liu Heluo?
Wu Peipei has seen how tired they are during the day!
Various associations immediately arose in her mind:
Can't he?
No, he's so strong!
That is - he is gay?
Wu Peipei was extremely curious, but she was too embarrassed to ask directly, so she beat around the bush:
"Why? Doesn't he like you?"
Liu Heluo didn't know how to explain that he was hypnotized and too absorbed in the drama, so he had to say:
"He likes me, but he cannot accept being intimate with me (Yuan Xiangqin) like this."
In Wu Peipei's ears, this means that Su Zhe likes Liu Heluo, but cannot accept her gender, so he determined:
Su Zhe is gay!
Isn't this such a pity? Not to mention that there are so many girlfriend fans, even the male god that many female stars in the industry covet is actually gay?
Sure enough, all good men have been snatched away by men.
Wu Peipei's heart was full of twists and turns, she couldn't help but sigh, and looked at Liu Heluo solemnly:
"Don't worry, even though I'm a liar, but you trust me so much, I can definitely keep the secret!"
Liu Heluo suddenly realized:
Yes, why should I tell Wu Peipei such a secret thing? This guy is a big clepsydra, the king of gossip, and he can spread the news throughout the circle just by turning around.
This is not her normal approach, more like the simple and brainless Yuan Xiangqin.
Liu Heluo began to believe Su Zhe's statement.
Although her subconscious (Yuan Xiangqin) wanted to continue talking, her main consciousness (Liu Heluo) forcibly pulled her back:
"Pepe, please don't tell anyone, I'm leaving!"
Liu Heluo fled, leaving Wu Peipei no chance to correct her wrong argument:
It turns out that Su Zhe is a sister!
She said to herself excitedly:
"I told you earlier. Seeing that Su Zhe is so popular with women, I didn't dare to get close to him. I was afraid that I would be like Sister Lin when she met Brother Bao. I didn't expect him to be gay!"
The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. Unable to hold back her gossip, she simply went to find Su Zhe.
At this time, Su Zhe had just fallen into drunkenness when he heard a knock on the door. After opening the door, he saw Wu Peipei.
Su Zhe was in a daze and did not think that it was not suitable for a man and a woman alone at night. He directly let Wu Peipei in and asked curiously:
"Pepe, what's the matter?"
"I just want to talk to you." Wu Peipei sat on the edge of the bed, her two slender white legs swinging beside the bed.
Su Zhe felt a little dizzy and fell down on the bed:
"What to talk about?"
Wu Peipei chatted for a long time, smelled the smell of alcohol on Su Zhe's body, and knew that he was drunk. Her heart moved, and she simply asked with a smirk:
"Which male star in the industry is your favorite?"
Su Zhe didn't think much about it, thinking that she was talking about appreciation and admiration, so he casually mentioned a few seniors in the industry who were good at acting.
Wu Peipei’s eyes lit up:
Wow! It turns out he is an uncle!
She wanted to ask again, but Su Zhe felt that his strength was getting stronger and he lay back, his eyes a little blurry.
Seeing that he was drunk, Wu Peipei wanted to leave with regret, but she couldn't help the desire for gossip in her heart and made up her mind:
"I will ask one more question and leave. I will only satisfy my curiosity and will never tell anyone!"
Her eyes sparkled with gossip, and she deliberately approached Su Zhe and excitedly tried to trick him:
"Are you a 1 or a 0?"
Su Zhe didn't understand and whispered:
"What's this mess?"
In order to hear clearly, Wu Peipei could only close her mouth to Su Zhe and asked anxiously:
"It's just... do you prefer up or down?"
Su Zhe seemed to see the heavy snow in the sky again, but did not see the plum blossoms.
Without plum blossoms in the snow, there is a lack of vitality.
Su Zhe suddenly turned around and fell into the soft snow.
Wu Peipei did not become alert and laughed like a lark:
"So you like being on top? Don't move, I'm a girl! Hee hee...itchy..."
Su Zhe wanted to get his instincts drunk, but he forgot that reason's ability to drink is worse than his instincts.
(Nothing will happen to a man when he is drunk, but he happens to be at the stage where his rationality is gone and his instincts are still awake.)
The snow is falling harder.
Su Zhe ran hard and finally found the plum blossom. He scattered the petals on the snow with a satisfied smile like an urchin on his face.
…
The next day, it was dark.
Wu Peipei, with a messy head and dull eyes, looked at the hungover Su Zhe with tears in her eyes:
"Are you so drunk that you can't even tell the gender? That's right, you are 1, you are all on top anyway..."
She thought Su Zhe was gay!
This made her mood even more complicated. She couldn't blame Su Zhe, she could only blame herself:
"Why am I so interested in gossiping? Even my innocence is involved."
Wu Peipei covered her face and wanted to be angry, but when she saw Su Zhe's perfect body, she felt right and her mind was in a mess.
She even felt that Su Zhe was even more at a loss because he was obviously gay but had a relationship with someone of the opposite sex. What was the difference between this and a straight man being anal after drinking?
"In that case, am I sorry for Su Zhe?"
Wu Peipei was so confused that she simply put on her clothes and limped away from the scene.
After a long time, after dawn, the sun shines in the room.
Su Zhe stood up in a daze, feeling refreshed and comfortable, but when he opened his eyes and saw the bed sheets, his expression changed into the same dull expression as Wu Peipei:
"Wait! What happened last night?"
All he remembers is that he drank a large bottle of wine and then there was a knock on the door, but he doesn't remember the rest.
Broken.
"Is Liu Heluo back again?"
Su Zhe was completely confused. While recording the program, he carefully tested Liu Heluo, but found nothing.
So he embarrassedly asked the gossip king Wu Peipei:
"Pepe, ahem, you are well-informed. Do you know who entered my room last night?"
Wu Peipei looked at him with a complicated face:
"have no idea!"
"Don't you even know about the famous Bagua King?"
"I don't know! I will never gossip again!"
In short, the recording experience of "Time Travel" was full of doubts for Su Zhe.
After the recording of the program was completed, Su Zhe and Liu Heluo returned to the "Kiss" crew and continued filming.
After Liu Heluo entered the drama, his performance became more and more natural, which even the picky Zhu Guosong could not help but admire:
"Yuan Xiangqin, you are great! This will definitely become your career masterpiece!"
Soon, "Mischief Kiss" was officially finished.
But Su Zhe couldn't take any time off. He also wanted to compose the theme song for Bad Kiss.
The theme song of the original drama "Bad Kiss" is "Mischief", which is an excellent theme song and a childhood memory of many people.
This song is written from a girl's point of view, and it is best sung by a female lead, so Su Zhe acted as the producer and asked Liu Heluo to sing.
In the past, Su Zhe only recorded songs for himself, which could be completed in a few hours. He never thought it was a hard work.
But Liu Heluo spent a whole day and only recorded half of it, which made Su Zhe collapse:
"Why did I demonstrate it to you eight hundred times, but you still sang like this? Otherwise, I would sing it with a false voice!"
Liu Heluo felt very aggrieved. When she heard that Su Zhe sang more naturally and better with a female voice than she did, she said aggrievedly:
"What on earth is in your throat? A voice changer? A phonograph?"
Su Zhe rolled his eyes:
"Obviously it's something different from yours."
Finally, when they finished recording the song, Su Zhe asked Zhu Guosong, Dong Wenxue and others to try it out. They all thought it was good, but they didn't show that they liked it very much.
Su Zhe realized that if it wasn't for the childhood filter, "Prank" was indeed not a top love song.
This made him somewhat disappointed.
Liu Heluo advised him:
"Zhi... Su Zhe, it's already great. You can't force every song to be a classic. This is even better than my masterpiece!"
Su Zhe was thinking, and he didn't control his mouth, and muttered casually:
"Being better than you is not worth boasting about."
Liu Heluo felt very wronged:
"I really can't sing, no matter how hard I try, I can't learn it..."
Su Zhe quickly patted her head, without apologizing, and said proudly:
"Stupid, this song will be your masterpiece in the future, who dares to say you can't sing?"
Zhu Guosong and Dong Wenxue looked at each other:
"It hasn't been released yet, is it so powerful?"
After Su Zhe realized that "Prank" was not classic enough, he thought about it and wanted to find a more classic and more popular song as the theme song.
Since "Prank" is from Yuan Xiangqin's perspective, then copy another song from Jiang Zhishu's perspective.
But he thought for a long time and didn't find a suitable song.
Although there are many love songs in his memory, few of them fit the plot.
"It has to be classic enough, and it has to be popular enough, and it's better to be related to Jiang Zhishu... Which one should I choose?"
Su Zhe had no idea.
In addition to choosing songs, he also had to choose movies.
When filming "It's a Kiss", he used his free time to start copying movie scripts.
The reason why he didn't continue copying TV series was because he had to arrange the schedule reasonably.
Several TV series must be staggered at a certain time to avoid competing for popularity and audiences.
It's better to make movies and form a trend of variety shows, TV, movies, and songs going hand in hand.
Before, Su Zhe almost scratched his head when choosing TV series, because he had no time to watch TV series after work.
But he went on blind dates a lot, and every time he went on a blind date, he had to go to the cinema to watch a movie, which led to him watching many movies and reading a lot of movies.
No matter whether it was domestic "The Wolf Girl Nezha" or foreign "Purple Sweet Potato Chicken", he could remember them very clearly.
But obviously, as the first movie of Long Aotian Company, there was no money and experience to operate these big-budget movies.
It can only start copying with a small cost.
There are many alternatives.
Su Zhe was very confident at first, thinking that he could choose any of the many small-scale and high-return movies in his memory.
But when he listed them one by one in his mind, he found that he had a fear of choice:
"Comedy movies represented by "Charlotte's Troubles" and "The Killer Is Not So Calm";"
"Love (broken heart) movies represented by "Love Is Not Blind" and "Ex-Files 3";"
"Youth movies represented by "Those Years, We Chased the Girl Together"..."
These are all very famous movies in his previous life, because Su Zhe did not intend to choose niche movies from the beginning.
This is different from songs. He is more niche in songs, because the music market has collapsed a long time ago, and it is difficult to make money by going for a popular style.
Since it all depends on fans to support it, it is better to be more niche, and it is more stylish.
But the film market has become more and more prosperous in recent years, and Su Zhe just wants to use the most popular movies to get the most popular recognition-
Box office!
Box office is the recognition of the public, which is much more important than a certain Ban score!
Su Zhe tried to analyze and find the best choice:
"The highest-grossing movies here are "The Hitman" and "Ex-Files 3"... They are also the two with the lowest ratings. Do you really ignore word of mouth?"
He still hesitated. He said he didn't care about the ratings, but he knew he would be criticized before the release, and he felt something was wrong.
Su Zhe made an in-depth analysis:
"You can't just look at the box office. Some movies have lower box office, not because of poor quality, but because the movie market was too small when they were released."
For example, the Tang Detective trilogy, the quality is getting worse and worse, and the box office is getting higher and higher.
Another example is "Charlotte's Troubles", the box office is not as good as Iron Fist Killer and the Richest Man, but if there is no Charlotte laying the groundwork, can those movies rise?
This made Su Zhe's heart move:
"Why not copy "Charlotte's Troubles"?
But he felt a little guilty-
I really don't want to play a plot of rebirth copying songs...
Isn't this confessing?
But after he crossed out the three highest-grossing movies in his mind, it seems that only "Love Is Not Blind" and youth films are left?
Su Zhe searched the movie records of this world and saw many youth films.
The filmmakers here are not fools. They have also discovered that youth films are easy to make money, and then they have ruined the reputation of most youth films.
Su Zhe was helpless and thought about "Love Is Not Blind" again:
"This movie was the biggest dark horse back then, but the box office was only 350 million, which is nothing now. It will definitely make money, but can it make a lot of money in this era?"
Su Zhe analyzed it over and over again, but he still confused himself-
Any movie he chose would be a good choice, and it would make him money and establish him in the film market.
But the more this is the case, the harder it is to choose!
"Which movie should I choose?"
Su Zhe fell into a happy trouble.
The next chapter will be chosen, and there is no suspense.
