Chapter 492: Her Own Fault
After the theme was finalized, all that was left was the script. But for Yu Linna, who was known in the industry as a tentacle monster, this was not a big deal. One had to know that she had also taken on a script for an animated film, and it was even a love story theme. With her hand speed, she could finish the script in no time.
What gave her a bigger headache was how to face the upcoming events. Although she had agreed to the program team’s request to participate in a variety show, the program team had her unwanted Ye Zhiyun. She also wondered afterwards if she had agreed a little too rashly. But there was no helping it. The price the other party had offered was indeed too high.
Helpless, she could only take one step at a time.
Yu Linna had returned to Guangnan and was still thinking about her script. She was wondering in what form to write it. After all, this was a movie script and not a novel story. At this thought, she had a bit of a headache.
When she had returned to Guangnan, she had also thought about going to the CLE club again to learn more about the lives of esports players, but she felt that there was no need. She scratched her head. The streets in summer had less traffic, and the cool wind was blowing. The people walking on the road couldn’t help but go and buy an ice cream to cool off.
Coincidentally, Yu Linna seemed to have discovered a familiar figure. Oh no, it should be said, two familiar figures.
A young man, a thin and weak young man, and also a girl, a very beautiful one, were arguing over an ice cream at the entrance of a convenience store.
“It’s all your fault! You’re always looking at my phone! My phone is out of battery.”
“Is it my fault? You’re also always taking my phone to look at it. My phone is also out of battery.”
“I don’t care! There’s no mobile street power here! I want to eat ice cream.”
“Sigh, I only have two yuan in cash. Boss, I’ll buy this.”
That young man seemed to have racked his brains but couldn’t think of a way. He had no choice but to compromise and buy a one-yuan ice cream. This was a two-color ice cream, a popsicle that could be split in half. But this kind of popsicle was rarely sold in many places. Only in some older neighborhoods was it possible to find it. After all, the popsicles and ice creams sold on the market were getting more and more expensive.
Gao Mingyu had split the popsicle he had bought into two halves, and had given the other half to Mi Aili. Gao Mingyu himself seemed a little uncomfortable, scratching his cheeks, his face hot.
“Here, for you. I only have that much money. It’s only enough to buy this. If you don’t want it, you can just throw it away.”
Mi Aili still took this popsicle. Although it was a very cheap popsicle, she didn’t say she didn’t want it.
“You’ve already bought it. Why shouldn’t I want it? And it’s also milk-flavored. I like it.”
Yu Linna looked on from a distance and let out a “tsk tsk” of admiration. When had these two gotten so close?
“Good afternoon, you two.”
“!!!”
Gao Mingyu and Mi Aili were like they were facing a great enemy. Looking at this girl who had suddenly come to visit, their faces turned green.
“This comrade Little Gao, if I remember correctly, you should be in training at this time, right? You have so much time to go out on a date with a girl?”
“Who-who said I’m not in training? I’m on a break. It’s the off-season. I just finished a competition. I’m on a break now!”
“Oh ho, you actually came out with a girl. You’ve got some skills.”
“It was this shameless person who told me she wanted to come out with me! I only came out with her because I felt sorry for her!”
Tsk tsk, this young man with the surname Gao was actually a tsundere in private.
Because Fang Jiangning was an LPL commentator, Yu Linna also had some understanding of LOL. As far as she knew, it should be the spring split period now. The major teams were all fighting for points. Although Gao Mingyu belonged to a second-rate team’s substitute jungler, in any case, he was also preparing for a high-intensity competition. It was impossible for him to have so much free time. The only possibility was that this young man had asked for leave and had snuck out.
“Mi Xi-sensei.”
“Here, senior!”
“You, you should seize the opportunity. Although, well, he’s a little young, but your taste is not bad.”
“Pah pah pah! Senior, don’t talk nonsense! I don’t have a crush on this little brat! He’s younger than me! I’m not going to date him!”
“You stinky woman! What do you mean!”
In the end, it was Gao Mingyu’s angry roar.
These two had finally argued. But Yu Linna was already used to it. She would find it strange if these two didn’t argue when they met. A bickering couple, it had always been like this.
As for whether these two would have a chance, she didn’t know. Anyway, the possibility was quite high. Then let the two of them develop properly.
…
After Yu Linna had returned, she had quickly completed the creation of the animated film script. This script had been named by her as I’ve Loved You for Ten Years. The main story was about a couple who had been in love since their student days, but in the end, had become strangers ten years later. The woman had married and had become a wife, and the man had a new home, thus missing everything about them. All their love had turned into a passing cloud of smoke.
Such a literary ending was a far cry from her previous happy endings, and it could even be said to be full of malice. But as a screenwriter, a literary-style ending was indeed very impressive.
So when the other party had received the script, they were very conflicted. You say such an ending is not good, a bad ending, but it had foreshadowing in the early stages, and it was also reasonable. Looking at the whole plot, you would find that such an ending was the most suitable, and it would not be too abrupt. If in the end, a happy ending was made, it would instead make people feel strange.
“Shion-sensei, you are truly a genius. You’ve even written this out. But whether this script passes is not up to me. I have to show it to the higher-ups.”
“That’s not a problem. As long as the screenwriting part is done by me, it’s fine.”
“I am personally quite optimistic about this script. But seriously, Shion-sensei, please be a little more merciful next time, okay? Really, I’m begging you.”
“Okay.”
What was Shion-sensei’s style like? Everyone evaluated it as having delicate emotions, a perfect love story. No matter how explosive it was in the early stages, in the end, it would always give you a happy ending. Besides that, the hot-blooded and passionate plots she wrote were not inferior at all. It could be said that she was a genius novelist, a super screenwriter.
What on earth was in her head? Many people wanted to dig it open and see.
In any case, this I’ve Loved You for Ten Years had still passed the review. The other party had also said that it could be filmed, and Yu Linna could also join the crew as a screenwriter to control the direction of the story. This was also the first animated film script that Yu Linna had written. She still remembered a long time ago, the scene of Ye Zhiyun’s disappointment because she had not gotten the adaptation rights of an animated film. Who would have thought that the story would be so dramatic? The thing she had once wanted to get was now in Yu Linna’s hands.
“So, happy cooperation, Shion-sensei.”
“Okay. But if your side still needs it, I can also write another script.”
“Is it a tragic ending again? Don’t.”
“You can rest assured about this. It really is a tragic ending, but the story content is different. If you are interested, I can also write it out.”
“Is your hand speed a monster?”
Just how fast was Yu Linna’s hand speed? This, probably only she herself knew. The roommates she lived with, the only ones who knew relatively clearly were that Yu Linna’s hand speed was quite fast, like playing the piano. If you were to give her a positioning, it was estimated that only the hand speed of a professional esports player could compete with her. But she was not a real professional player. She was just a person who wrote novels. To be serious, only a person who played the piano could be compared with her.
…
At the same time.
Ye Zhiyun, in the most difficult period of Jiaying Company, had managed to pull the company back from the brink of bankruptcy with her perseverance. The movie I Just Want to Be With You had reached 520 million at the box office, which could also be considered a lucky number. At least Jiaying Company had made a profit and had also opened up its fame. This was the most important thing. Whether it was Ye Zhiyun or Han Ying, they were both the winners of this slot. Although there was still a big gap with the real first-line film companies, Ye Zhiyun was also walking her own path, and was slowly getting on the right track.
It was just…
Without Yu Linna, the meaning of her struggle seemed to have disappeared. She had originally worked hard for Yu Linna, had changed for her. But now, she had succeeded, but Yu Linna was no longer by her side. They had already broken up.
“Zhiyun, approve this document.”
“Mmm.”
Ye Zhiyun was just as usual, approving documents, putting her stamp on them, no different from the past. When she was not filming, she was in charge of the office work. After all, she was also a shareholder of the company, one of the CEOs.
After Ye Zhiyun had succeeded, she no longer had to rush to the crew so often. The company had also found a new director, who would be preparing for the filming of the movie.
Ye Zhiyun was busy until very late every day before she went back. Every night when she got home, she was very tired.
Although the company was in Shanghai, Ye Zhiyun did not go back to her home in Shanghai. She felt that she had no face to go back, so she had rented an apartment in Shanghai and was living outside by herself. Although that’s what she said, in fact, she rarely came back to sleep. Most of the time, she still slept at the company.
Ye Zhiyun returned home, looked at the empty living room, and sat there alone. She wanted to open a bottle of wine but found that she had forgotten to buy any. It was already 12 o’clock. She was also too lazy to go out. She sometimes particularly missed that home in Guangnan. When Yu Linna was there before, how happy their lives were. No matter how busy or tired she was, at least there was dinner when she got back, and there was someone waiting for her at home. Now, she had nothing.
Was she terribly wrong…
At this moment, Ye Zhiyun truly understood what it meant for people to leave and the tea to grow cold. After she was gone, Ye Zhiyun felt so lonely. People are always like this. Only when you lose something do you know how precious it is.
She began to regret, to reflect on her past actions. Before, when they had argued, her work had not been going smoothly, and she had been in a bad mood every day. It was Yu Linna who had been supporting her all along. Yu Linna had always been very obedient and had not disturbed her. But Ye Zhiyun seemed not to have done anything for her, just unilaterally hoping that the other party could understand her, but also not willing to let go of her own self-esteem.
She had succeeded now, but where was Yu Linna? Where had that person gone?
At this thought, she smiled, a smile that was more bitter than anyone else’s. As she smiled, she cried.
…
The next morning, Ye Zhiyun went to the company. Her eyes were red. Wen Yajun had even asked her if she had stayed up late last night. Ye Zhiyun had not answered her. Han Ying was silently not speaking. In this company, besides Dai Wenqian, the only one who understood Ye Zhiyun was Han Ying.
Although Ye Zhiyun’s actions this time were her own fault, Han Ying also couldn’t help but feel soft towards her.
