Pei Mingzhan let go of Zhao Yao after a while.

Zhao Yao looked at Pei Mingzhan in front of him and smiled, "Is he really here?"

"I miss you." Pei Mingzhan reached out and pinched Zhao Yao's face, and asked, "Why don't you wear too much when you come out? The wind here is quite strong."

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

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

"Well, I changed a lot when I was a child and now. I shaved a buzzer at that time." Pei Mingzhan hugged someone in his arms, "Don't move, I'll hold you to warm up for a while."

Zhao Yao was hugged by him and leaned against Pei Mingzhan's warm body. He could feel the heat coming from his body and blocked a large area of ​​cold wind. The lights at the Zheng family gate were still on. From Zhao Yao's perspective, he could see half of the security guard's coat.

This is the Zheng family, not the Zhao family.

Pei Mingzhan really came when he came, and even asked him out not far from Zheng's house. Zhao Yao always had a strange feeling, feeling that the two of them were like avoiding others and secretly coming out to fall in love.

After all, he is young now, but in fact his experience and psychological age are much greater than Pei Mingzhan. But even so, following Pei Mingzhan to the path of howling cold wind, he really felt an indescribable feeling when he was hugged by him, as if he could feel the thumping heartbeat behind his body.

"A few days later, I'll go to my house?" Pei Mingzhan's voice sounded from his ears.

Zhao Yao paused slightly, "Stay there?"

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

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

If this is in City S, it would be fine if he lives in Pei Mingzhan's house or Pei Mingzhan's house, but in City H, Pei Mingzhan lives with his family.

"If you are worried about this, I will ask someone to clean my apartment." Pei Mingzhan smiled: "I have an apartment, but I haven't been there for a long time. Are you okay with the Zheng family? I haven't come back for so long, will you not get used to it?"

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

But the people in the Zheng family were so enthusiastic. He originally booked a hotel, but his aunt learned about it from Uncle Wang and said that it was inappropriate to stay in the hotel here, so she asked them to stay directly at home.

So the visit turned into a small stay. He didn't have a deep impression of 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 there is actually no difference where to live."

"Hard-mouthed." Pei Mingzhan leaned 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 photos. It was a little fresh about the two of them knowing this when they were young, but he couldn't remember what happened when they were young. He knew Brother Pepe and also remembered a vague impression, "Why did you leave a buzz cut at that time?"

"I thought it was cool at that time. My brother had a classmate who liked to keep his buzz cuts. He was handsome and cool. At that time, children always liked to follow the trend, so they learned to shave it." Pei Mingzhan asked: "What? After seeing the photos, I felt that I was ugly when I was a child?"

"It's quite cute, it's just a little surprised." Zhao Yao thought about it carefully, "I didn't remember it very clearly. I remember that you were very fierce when you were a child, and it was completely different from yours now."

"How do you compare your childhood with your current situation? When you were a child, you were shy and blushed. Why do you look cold all day long now?" Pei Mingzhan said again: "Do you mind that I knew about my childhood but didn't tell you?"

"I was a little doubtful at first, but I thought that if I met you, I wouldn't take the initiative to tell you about this when I first met." Zhao Yao's neck was rubbed by Pei Mingzhan, "Then we had a good relationship later, why didn't you tell me?"

"I'll just tell you how boring it is to recall such things." Pei Mingzhan rubbed his face, "I think about when you remember it, I'll tell you about my childhood."

Zhao Yao was rubbed hot and itchy by him. Why didn't he notice that Pei Mingzhan liked to rub against his body so much? He raised his hand and pulled Pei Mingzhan's mask off, turned his head and kissed Pei Mingzhan's mouth.

Pei Mingzhan paused a little, and when he turned sideways, he noticed a faint figure on the second floor of the Zheng family. He raised his hand to hold the back of Zhao Yao's head and kissed him down.

...

In the morning, the Zheng family was having breakfast.

Zhao Yao sat in it and looked at the side dishes in H City on the table, and he missed it a little. He picked up a few chopsticks to try it. Although it was a bit different from what Pei Mingzhan made, it still had that taste.

The people in the Zheng family are very enthusiastic. They have never met each other much, but the atmosphere is very good.

It's different from Yao Bai's house, but it's also a bit warm.

My aunt talked about the New Year and asked Zhao Yao if there was anything she needed to prepare.

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

My aunt nodded, "Morning Xiaoqi told me that you don't seem to love drinking much. I asked Uncle Wang again. He said that you have not drunk alcohol recently. I didn't expect that, and I thought the father and father loved to drink when they met. Can I have a tea next time?"

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

He looked at Zheng Leqi, who was the two middle-aged young brothers, and he was also staring at him at the dinner table yesterday.

"If you have other flavors, remember to tell your aunt, you don't have to be polite." After saying that, my uncle said again: "Let's stay here for the Chinese New Year this year. There will be only a few days left. Let's stay for a while after the Chinese New Year?"

Zhao Yao didn't expect his uncle to be so enthusiastic, so he had to say, "These are determined by the arrangements at that time."

Zheng Leqi was 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 hugging and hiding that person, and his relationship was very close. Judging from his height, he should be a man, which made him even more curious...

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

Why is this kid always watching him?

The matter of celebrating the New Year at the Zheng family was decided. Zhao Yao returned to his room after dinner and saw the Chen family send him a text message. He was talking about "The Movie". "The Movie" was a big hit during this period. It was indeed a bit of a bad thing a while ago, but after the successful resolution, it attracted more popularity to "The Movie" and the expected profit increased several times.

Zhao Yao was quite satisfied with the result. Not only that, "Li Meng" was successfully reviewed and will be scheduled to be played. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be broadcast after this year. This is a coincidence. At that time, it may be at the end of the holiday, and maybe the time will be postponed later, which depends on the schedule.

In addition, the Chen Group also sent a project list for next year. Huihua has not invested in many projects, and the price is high-quality products. Since the reputation has been made, many producers or directors have come to discuss cooperation. There are many projects that have been accumulated in Huihua. This is also the reason why the Chen Group worked overtime before the New Year. Finally, it was time to make the expected project list before the New Year, and the rest was to wait for the evaluation and review and choose the best choice after the New Year.

This project list was also posted to Zhao Yao. Zhao Yao glanced at the projects. Two of them were projects I had heard of in my previous life, but there were many other projects that I had no impression of, but one drama made him stop his eyes.

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

He scanned the scripts of several episodes in the appendix, clicked them and frowned slightly after looking at them. The script...

He mentioned several good projects to Chen. Finally, when it comes to this romantic drama, he asked if the team could be reorganized?

Now the Chen Series was curious because this type of TV series can be said to be mainstream, and the probability of urban romance films being hit is average, but the probability of steady investment is high, and the expected investment is not a big investment. This drama is a team and is full of newcomers, because the story of the same period is novel, it will be selected by the evaluation team to hand it over. Chen Series was a little surprised, and I don’t know why Zhao Yao mentioned the issue of changing the production team.

"This team is a newcomer, not a newcomer team production, but the problem lies in this script." Zhao Yao called Chen's phone number.

I have seen every project of the Chen family and thought the story is really good, so I asked: "How could it be? I read the script quite good, and the story type is rare in urban dramas today."

"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 clip of the male and female protagonists in the first episode, the story summary gives people a lot of imagination, but the problem comes from this script. The routine is aging and not novel. The plot is described step by step, as if the story and the script are completely separated."

Chen Shi paused slightly, so he also opened the script to see the situation. He didn't watch many urban dramas, but he also watched many plots when watching the project evaluation. After watching the first episode of this script, he could imagine the plot that happened next at the beginning. It was indeed very different from the imagination space given in the story outline.

"This project is not an IP adaptation, right?" Zhao Yao asked.

Chen Shi said: "This is not. If the IP is adapted, we will consider the popularity of the original work. These will indicate in the project evaluation that the project is an original script, the script or 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 project team's evaluation. Chen also skipped the script issue after reading the screenwriter's name. Unexpectedly, the script setting of the first episode was so old-fashioned.

Zhao Yao paused slightly, "That's strange. This story has nothing to do with the script. It's like the screenwriter starts to fill in things after getting a script framework." And the stuff is very different from expectations. "Invest carefully. If it's this script, I feel that there is a high possibility of losing money."

Chen Shi also said: "I will ask someone to follow up on this question."

Zhao Yao said: "Okay, I'm dead."

After Mr. Zhao hung up the phone, the Chen team took out the scripts of other projects and thought of something again. Why did Mr. Zhao know so much about romance films? He understood the routine of romance films because he had watched many projects, 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 changed careers to do entertainment, it was really rare to concentrate on studying such good quality.

-*

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

Pei Mingzhan came here today to visit and brought something here. The Zheng family had less contact with the Pei family and occasionally sent a visit. My uncle and my aunt had already greeted the master for tea and talked. Later, after chatting for a while, I realized that Pei Mingzhan was here to find Zhao Yao. My uncle asked the servant to go upstairs to tell Zhao Yao that he would talk to Pei Mingzhan about business matters.

Pei Mingzhan, the national actor and Zheng Leqi, has many friends and classmates. In the H-City circle, there are many people who know Pei Mingzhan's deeds. Some people think Pei Mingzhan is ignorant and stubborn, but in the eyes of these people, people like Pei Mingzhan who dare to resist and arrange to enter the entertainment industry and make achievements are really admired by them.

Zheng Leqi noticed Pei Mingzhan when he went downstairs to get things. It should be said that he noticed the scarf that Pei Mingzhan wore. He had just seen this scarf yesterday. When his cousin first entered the house, he wore this color scarf, which looked like the same one at first glance.

He couldn't help but think of the person his cousin went out to meet last night, thinking that it could be Pei Mingzhan?

Pei Mingzhan turned his head slightly and noticed the boy who had been looking at him. Last night when he was waiting for Zhao Yao outside, he noticed a person 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 person standing at the entrance of the balcony had not left...

Is it the youngest son of the Zheng family?

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

My aunt knew that the two children had a good relationship. Seeing that her husband was having a good chat with Pei Mingzhan, she pulled his sleeves and reminded him according to the situation, and said, "Mingzhan is here to find Xiaoyao. The weather is good now. Why don't you brothers go out for a walk?"

When the two of them left, Zheng Leqi's eyes were still at the door. At this time, his father said, "Xiaoqi, don't keep staring at them. You have looked at Pei Mingzhan several times just now. This is rude."

At this time, my aunt added: "Didn't you still mention Pei Mingzhan before? I said that someone in your class wanted to ask him for his autograph. When your cousin comes back later, you can go and ask your cousin, your cousin has a good relationship with him."

Zheng Leqi said: "Mom, is my cousin a good relationship with Actor Pei?"

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

My aunt said, "That's not. Your cousin used to live at home, and Pei Mingzhan lived next door to our house. The two of them always played together when they were young."

-*

Pei Mingzhan drove, and the two of them quickly went to the 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 you think the script is strange?" Pei Mingzhan helped him get rid of his hat and continued the topic of the two people in the car just now.

"Yeah." Zhao Yao mentioned Chen Shixin's investment project. He was originally interested in the story outline, but the quality of the script was not as expected. "I know that most of the content in your filming scripts are based on the performance of the actors, and I don't understand this very much, but I am not very satisfied with the script."

"I can't tell anything about the scripts of a few episodes. The production still depends on the director, actor and production team. But according to what you said, beware of investing fraud." Pei Mingzhan told him about investing fraud in the circle, "But I have heard of the screenwriter you mentioned, and there is no such rumors. That may be another reason."

"For example?" Zhao Yao asked.

Pei Mingzhan said: "The story framework and script were written by two people. It is very common for the screenwriter circle to find ghostwriters or sign scripts with people."

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

"Generally speaking, since the story framework was proposed by the author, no matter how bad the script was written, it would be impossible to be worse in the first few episodes. The script routine at the beginning was too old and could not attract people. Then no matter how good the selling point was, it was actually difficult to get better." Pei Mingzhan walked with him. The two avoided the crowd of people in the square and turned to the shopping mall building next to him. "I think it's right not to invest, it's too risky."
