Her last relationship exhausted all her fantasies about love and her inspiration for the "perfect male protagonist" in her writing.
Zhao Liying, a screenwriter who locked all her heartbeats into computer files, decided to fall in love only with scripts in her life.
Until the 18th-tier actor Lin Gengxin, who was ridiculed by the entire Internet for being "too popular", pointed to the seventh act of her script and asked seriously:
"Teacher screenwriter, why doesn't the protagonist here dare to admit that he has had a heartbeat?"
——
He is her most underappreciated male protagonist, and the only one who understands all her subtexts.
Late at night on the set, he accompanied her to revise the script, and the coffee was replaced with hot milk: "Your story deserves to be treated tenderly."
Scandals were rife, and he stood in front of her, giving the media a cold face for the first time: "Come to me if you have any questions, don't disturb my screenwriter."
She thought this was just professional mutual support.
It wasn't until backstage at the awards ceremony that he stuffed the Best Actor trophy into her arms, his voice trembling:
"I have played the joys and sorrows of others, Zhao Liying, can you... Teach me to play us once?"
——
Later, it became known throughout the industry:
If I want to hire the gold medal screenwriter Zhao Liying, the male lead must be Lin Gengxin;
If I want to invite talented actor Lin Gengxin, the script must be approved by Zhao Liying.
They went from being "unsuitable" for each other to becoming the most irreplaceable "match made in heaven" in the industry.
When the shadow of the past shrouded again, he held her hand tightly: "This time, we will follow our own script."
Don't pull, don't doubt, don't let down.
The world is noisy, but their seventh act is only about the clear echo of two hearts slowly approaching and resonating at the same frequency.
