The Villain Just Wants to be a Salted Fish - Chap 25
Lakeside Villa.
Gao Shu went over some matters with Ye Zexi, he left behind the final script of “Famous General”, then got up and left.
Ye Zexi was no longer sleepy at this time, lying on the soft bed, looking at the script left by Gao Shu, he was hesitating for a long time whether to throw the script out of the window or just ignore it, he decided to pick it up and read it to pass the time.
After all, the contract had been signed, sooner or later he would have to read it anyway.
Although He Jinyun did trick him, at least the payment he was given made Ye Zexi satisfied.
This was a big-deal contract, he would endure this and finish the filming, after that he would retire from showbiz!
In the novel, “Famous General” is He Jinyun’s first self-directed movie, where he screen wrote the play and acted in it. This movie not only won many domestic awards, but also won many international awards that year.
With some expectation, Ye Zexi read the script.
Just that Ye Zexi didn’t expect to be fascinated by the plot as he skimmed through it.
The story of “Famous General” can be summed up in one sentence: a general achieves goals while ten thousand of bones rot. [1]
In just one sentence, it depicts a magnificent and sad picture of life for the audience.
The script of more than 100,000 characters tells the audience the three most important stages in the protagonist’s life.
From the young and frivolous young man, to the young general who is full of grace, and then to the great general who is deterring the nation.
It’s not the feeling of being proud when being promoted.
But when you have walked 300,000 steps, you are alone in the loneliness and tragedy of Chang’an.
The end of the story is the peace and prosperity that the general left to the world, but he is still alone.
When Ye Zexi finished reading the script, it was dawn the next day.
This is a very good script, and even Ye Zexi is deeply attracted by the characters in the story.
Even his mind had the thought of ”the script of “Famous General” is not bad”.
But soon, this idea was rejected by Ye Zexi himself.
What do you mean not bad?
If it were not because of this script, he would get to sleep on his bed and wake up whenever he wants every day!
Filming is exhausting, so tiring.
And in the few hours that just passed, he stayed up all night because of this script.
He was using his life to read the script!
Damn it!
Ye Zexi got more and more angry, threw the script aside, covered his head with a quilt, and started to sleep.
As soon as his head hit the pillow, he slept all the way until the afternoon.
Ye Zexi was awakened by his phone ringing.
He didn’t even look at the caller, he just grabbed the phone and connected the call: “Hello?”
The man’s voice was hoarse and full of tiredness, and the other line knew he was not awake yet.
