Chapter 240: Talking about Drama
After listening to the director silently, Xu Weiwei asked doubtfully, "What about the background of the story? I don't understand the cause and effect, so I'm afraid it's hard for me to empathize with the emotions you're talking about."
The director's eyes widened in surprise, and so did the other staff members who were quietly eavesdropping on the conversation. They were all surprised by Xu Weiwei's mature and sophisticated remarks.
Who would have thought that this "beautiful doll" who has always been quiet also has a wise soul.
The director was not impatient at all, but became more confident in his own judgment. He was not wrong! This was a talented seedling!
After shaking up the script, the director began to tell Xu Weiwei with great passion.
The assistant director and producer next to him were sweating profusely. They wanted to stop him but didn't dare to. They could only roar in their hearts: Director! You leaked the secret! We haven't signed the confidentiality agreement yet!!! There are so many outsiders around!!! Oh my God!
If anyone posts this story online, their film won't be shown! So many people will be left starving!
But the director could not hear their voices, nor did he have time to pay attention to their eyes. He had fallen into an immersed state and wanted to crumple the script into pieces and feed it to Xu Weiwei.
Xu Weiwei also went from being confused and puzzled at the beginning to being touched.
Speaking of which, this movie has some similarities with her original experience.
The heroine played by Jiang Linlin is a mermaid living in the deep sea, who is ignorant of worldly affairs. She came to the main city by chance and met the hero who was traveling here.
The two quickly fell in love and got together regardless of worldly opinions. But a month later, the male protagonist suddenly said he wanted to go back.
He has to do a good job of convincing his parents and then take the heroine to where he lives. If the heroine is unwilling, he will think of other ways. In short, she can't stay here forever.
They agreed to meet again at the place where they first met in a month. As expected, the hero broke the appointment. The naive heroine believed that he must have some hidden secrets, and insisted on waiting for him at that place day after day. However, after half a year, not only did she not wait for him, but her belly became bigger and bigger.
The heroine was very terrified. Mermaids are oviparous, with three eggs in one litter, and their bellies never swell up like they were inflated. The heroine suspected that she might be pregnant with a human baby this time, and it would take after its father.
The mermaid eggs will grow and mature after half a year, but the heroine doesn't know how long it will take for a human baby to be born, and no one can tell what the hybrids of mermaids and humans are like.
With an uneasy mood, the heroine finally gave birth on a stormy night. The baby she gave birth to was a human-like baby, but it had gills behind its ears, allowing it to breathe freely underwater.
The heroine was so happy, and her longing for the hero reached its peak. She decided to go find him. So she started working hard to make money. After saving enough, she entrusted her child to her mother, and resolutely embarked on a starship to an alien planet.
After going through all kinds of hardships, she finally found the male protagonist, only to discover that he was already with another woman.
The heroine rushed up to recognize her regardless of anything, but the hero had no idea who she was, as if he had lost all memory of her.
Hope ignites in the heroine's heart, and she tries every means to awaken the hero's memory, but in the process she endures the difficulties posed by the hero's parents, his current wife, and all their relatives and friends.
The heroine was in great pain and wanted to give up several times, but when she thought of her daughter, she felt that she had to try. She could live without a lover, but her daughter must have a father.
Finally, the hero finally remembered everything. The heroine was overjoyed, but the situation was not as good as she imagined.
"I'm sorry, Eve, for making you and the child suffer. Where is she now? I can bring her over and buy a house for both of you, so we don't have to be separated anymore."
"What about your current wife?"
The male protagonist was silent for a while and said, "I can't let her down, otherwise I would be letting down both families, and she is pregnant with my child. Can we just leave it like this?"
The heroine was disappointed and shocked, and asked back: "What kind of thing? You and your family continue to live together, and I am raised outside by you as a third party with the child? It was obviously me who met you first! Why should our child be treated as a bastard?!"
"But if I get divorced and be with you, wouldn't I be hurting another person? You have to be happy to see everyone unhappy, right?" the man shouted impatiently.
The heroine was completely heartbroken. She finally realized that she had been wasting her energy all this time and that this man was not worth her efforts at all.
Anger and despair intertwined, making the heroine unable to contain her inner rage any longer. So she widened her eyes, glared at the man she once loved deeply, gnashed her teeth and uttered a vicious curse: You will not have a good end! I curse that woman to lose the child in her belly, curse you to lose your love forever in this life, and all the things you cherish will be taken away one by one!
After saying this, he left without looking back, his back looking resolute and free and easy.
The heroine prepared herself to return to the planet Mengmed to live a good life with her mother and daughter. However, the cruel reality gave her a heavy blow - it turned out that her mother had passed away and her child was missing.
Next is Xu Weiwei’s part.
A few years later, the heroine got news about her daughter. She learned that her daughter was having a hard time. She was excluded and isolated by children of the same age, and was often bullied because of her half human genes.
When the mother and daughter met for the first time, the daughter was sleeping in a shallow beach. The noise woke her up and she saw that the person who came was a mermaid who looked very similar to herself. She seemed to have a feeling in her heart, and then gradually understood. Her mood changed from panic to confusion, and then to suspicion, grievance, and anger...
Xu Weiwei only has these two scenes. The last scene is the mother and daughter recognizing each other, and the previous scene is the scene where she is bullied by other mermaid children.
After listening to it, Xu Weiwei felt that she understood it. Wasn't this a common occurrence for her when she was a child? However, the play required her to "curl up on the ground", "sob sadly" and "hide everywhere", which was not quite her style.
It's a bit difficult to resist fighting back.
"How is it? How do you feel after listening to it now?" the director asked eagerly.
Xu Weiwei said truthfully: "I'm very angry. The male protagonist is such a piece of shit. His family members are also nothing. They kept it a secret from him when he lost his memory and made him get married. But this is not bad either. It shows that his love is not deep enough. Eve deserves better."
The director was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
