MTL - Yan Yan-Chapter 58 South Island

The day after the funeral, Su Yan and Bai Xingfan went to the Civil Affairs Bureau and officially filed for divorce.

The moment she got the divorce certificate, Su Yan felt relieved honestly.

He finally let her go.

The nerve in her mind that had been tense was completely relaxed, her mental state gradually returned to normal, and she could finally devote herself to the work of screenwriting again.

As early as July this year, she participated in the creation of a literary romance, which was also her first attempt at writing a movie script.

Since she has no creative experience in this area, she checked a lot of information in this area before starting to create, and also consulted many experienced film screenwriters. After she had some confidence in her heart, she dared to start writing.

After the first draft was completed, she sent the draft to the director, but the director was not satisfied, so he returned the draft mercilessly and asked her to revise the male protagonist.

Su Yan didn't complain about the director, but was completely convinced by her, because she knew that it was right that the director had high requirements for the hero's character, because this is a female-oriented literary romance. Is there any explosion in the whole film? Those who rely entirely on the male protagonist have no tension.

This film is adapted from a short romance novel called "Flowering Orioles". It is full of fragrant and romantic atmosphere. The writing is popular but not worldly. A prostitute/girl who lives in the dust, the male protagonist is a cold young master with a superior family background - the gap in background creates the first sense of bad morals.

The two met on a rainy day in early winter. Liu Ying was wearing a dark green coat in a wet alley. He came to a small shop and bought a pack of Marlboro cigarettes.

A black car sped past, splashing water wet Liu Ying's coat, Liu Ying was about to curse when the car suddenly stopped, the door of the cab was opened, the driver was holding a black umbrella, Drizzle, quickly ran to Liu Ying: "Our young master asked me to make amends for you, I'm really sorry."

He presented the exquisitely crafted black umbrella.

Liu Ying didn't answer, glanced at the car logo, and began to calculate in her heart, and immediately swallowed all the dirty words that came to her mouth, and curled her seductive red lips: "An umbrella will solve it? The clothes are lv."

The driver did not expose her lie, but said respectfully: "Then what do you ask for?"

Liu Ying: "Don't panic, I won't lie to you, I just want to rub your car home and live far away." She folded her arms, looked up at the sky, and sighed, "This rain is getting heavier and heavier. "

The driver couldn't make his own decisions, so he went back and asked the owner. After getting the owner's promise, he asked Liu Ying to get into the car.

This is the acquaintance of Liu Ying and the young master.

In fact, Liu Ying didn't lie. The dark green coat on her body was indeed LV's. From the age of eighteen to twenty-three, she had saved five years of selling her money to buy it.

She grew up in a poor family and was the eldest daughter in the family. She had two younger brothers behind her. Her parents favored sons over daughters. Squeeze, squeeze dry, squeeze to death.

As long as there are other options, she will not embark on the road of being a wandering warbler.

People living at the bottom of society live too hard, Liu Ying yearns for a life in the upper class, and after meeting the rich young master, she begins to seduce him in every possible way.

The young master was cold-hearted and determined like a high-ranking monk since he was a child. However, mortals are not saints after all.

Liu Ying loves him three points, but he can show ten points; he loves Liu Ying ten points, and he shows ten points.

He wanted to marry Liu Ying Shuang Su and Shuang Qi, but Liu Ying was much more sober than him. A woman who knew her identity would never be able to enter the door of that kind of serious family, so she simply focused on money.

She found the young master's mother, asked her for a huge sum of money, and promised to leave her son after getting the money.

The mother understands her son's character and clearly knows that she does not have the ability to make her son give up on this prostitute, so she has to temporarily agree to the deal proposed by Liuying.

Liu Ying is indeed a trustworthy person. After the money arrived, she simply broke up with the young master neatly, and prepared to take the money and fly away.

However, the young master is an infatuated kind. After identifying a person, he will be forever. No matter what, he does not want to let the Orioles go, and begs his mother to agree to their marriage.

The mother was so angry that in order to make her son give up on the prostitute, she cruelly told him the truth.

The young master was deeply affected, but he did not give up on Liuying, because he was a person with an extremely paranoid personality.

At the end of the story, he went to Liu Ying's house in a suit and leather shoes on a rainy night, and cut Liu Ying's throat with a sharp dagger.

Blood splattered, splattering half of his handsome face red.

He watched helplessly as Liu Ying died in a pool of blood.

There was lightning and thunder outside the window, and a cold light flashed. He raised his dagger again and cut his throat.

The creation of film and television scripts is different from popular literary novels. There is no psychological description. The characters' expressions, actions and lines are mainly used to highlight the characters' hearts, so as to highlight the characters.

And compared to the script of the TV series, the script of the movie is more concise.

When writing the first draft, Su Yan did not control this well, which led to deviations in the male protagonist.

Later, under constant communication with the director, she repeatedly revised the script several times. After more than three months of adaptation and creation, she finally completed the final draft.

At the end of December, the film opened in South Island City.

Nandao is a small town in the south, no matter spring, summer, autumn or winter, it is always filled with the gentle atmosphere of Jiangnan water town.

As a screenwriter with the group, Su Yan arrived in the South Island one day before the start of the film.

There is no airport in this city, so Su Yan went there by high-speed train.

The crew made a special trip to arrange a staff member to pick her up at the high-speed rail station, and then sent her to the hotel where she stayed.

Because of Bai Xingfan's relationship, her status in the crew is not what it used to be. The place of accommodation is directly arranged in the high-end suite of the five-star hotel closest to the filming location, and the treatment is higher than that of the male and female protagonists.

After closing the door, Su Yan laughed at herself and thought: I don't know what the attitude of these people who are used to seeing the wind will be if they know that she has divorced Bai Xingfan?

After plugging in the power card, she pulled the suitcase and walked into the living room. Just as she was about to check the room, there was a sudden sound in her coat pocket.

She took out her mobile phone from her pocket and glanced at it. It was a WeChat message sent to her by Bai Xingfan: "Are you at the hotel?"

She replied, "It's here."

Although they were divorced, they did not completely cut off contact, because they had not disclosed the divorce to their family members, so they needed to report the situation to each other before going out to work in order to cope with the sudden inquiries from family members.

Moreover, the two of them are still in each other's family WeChat group, and it is completely impossible to completely cut off contact unless they divorce publicly.

But near the end of the year, everyone is waiting to welcome the Spring Festival. If they tell their family about their divorce, it is tantamount to destroying their longing for the New Year in advance.

Therefore, she and Bai Xingfan agreed to wait until the Lunar New Year is over before publicizing the news of their divorce. Before that, they had to be a couple in name only.

Bai Xingfan sent another message: "Take care of yourself."

Su Yan: "Yeah."

The conversation ended here, and Bai Xingfan did not reply.

Since the divorce, their chat records will not exceed ten sentences each time.

After logging out of WeChat, Su Yan put the phone back in her pocket, and then began to check the room. After confirming that there was no problem, she began to pack her luggage.

It took half an hour to get everything in order, and then she went out alone.

This is the first time she has come to the South Island. Anyway, it is still early. She is going to stroll around the streets of South Island and feel the local customs.

Although the South Island is only a small third-tier city, it is not as prosperous and developed as a big city, and there are not so many magnificent high-rise buildings, but it is quiet and elegant.

A long river runs through the whole city, and the buildings on both sides of the city are all antique-white walls, black tiles, and raised eaves, revealing quaintness and delicacy everywhere.

The pace of life of the locals is also very slow. There are few cars on the streets. Most people travel by electric bicycles or buses. Time seems to go back more than ten years ago.

Even in the winter when the vegetation is bleak, in this small town, you can feel countless relaxation and leisure, as if all your troubles have been thrown to the horizon.

There was no wind today. She walked south along the east bank of the river. On the way, she passed a famous local specialty food store. She decided to go in for dinner.

After coming out of the store with a full meal, the sky has turned from white to black.

Winter nights are coming.

Su Yan walked along the east bank for a while, walked from a white stone bridge to the west bank, and then walked back in the direction from which she came.

As night fell, the neon lights on both sides of the riverbank gradually turned on, and the glass windows facing the street also lit up with atmospheric lighting one by one.

A shop with a retro theme of the Republic of China suddenly caught Su Yan's attention, and she walked towards the window.

Behind the transparent glass cover stands a model prop wearing a white gauze cheongsam, next to a blue solid wood chest of drawers, on which are placed three golden trays in an orderly space, and on the black velvet surface are many sparkling jewelry.

The tray on the far right contains men's jewelry. There is a silver pocket watch, a silver ring, and a silver tie clip. A smooth black curve is engraved on the luminous, slender clip. , looks elegant and cool.

Su Yan put her hands in the pockets of her down jacket and stood motionless in front of the window, staring blankly at the tie clip for a long time, until she had forgotten the icy temperature outside and the passage of time.

The cold glass window was stained white by her breath several times, and she stretched out her hand and wiped it several times.

"If you like it, you can go into the store and have a look. There are many different styles in the store."

The salesperson's enthusiastic voice suddenly came to her ears, Su Yan suddenly recovered, smiled embarrassedly at the female salesperson, and shook her head: "No need, thank you."

After speaking, she turned and left the store.

However, within ten steps of walking out, she suddenly stopped again, lowered her head, stared at the toes of her snow boots for a few seconds, suddenly turned around in place, and moved towards the house again. The jewelry store went back.

The salesperson has returned to the store.

She reached out and pushed open the store door. After entering the store, she said to the salesperson standing behind the wooden counter, "Hello, how much is the tie clip in the window?"

The salesperson was startled: "You mean the one with the black curve?"

Su Yan nodded: "Well, that's it."

The salesperson frowned slightly, wondering, "That's our boss's collection and can't be sold to you, but there are many other styles in our store. You can take a look. Maybe there's something you like more?"

"I only want that." Su Yan's tone was a little stubborn, "I can add more money, as much as I want."
