My movie scared the global audience to tears

"I suspect Xiaobai is avoiding me."

This is what Song Qi heard after being woken up by Xiao Ma's phone call in the middle of the night.

"Are you so nervous in the middle of the night?"

Song Qi had already fallen asleep, and when he was woken up by such a call from Xiao Ma, he suddenly became a little annoyed.

"well!"

Xiao Ma sighed and begged: "Can you come out and have a drink with me? I can't sleep."

"It's none of my business that you can't sleep!"

Song Qi complained angrily, then sighed and asked helplessly: "Where are you?"

"I'll be waiting for you at the Bayi BBQ restaurant behind the school!"

Xiao Ma said something and then hung up the phone.

“Backdoor BBQ?”

Song Qi muttered: "How many years has it been open? It's been a long time since I've eaten there."

An Qin was also woken up. He squinted his eyes and turned around and asked, "What's wrong? Who is it?"

"Xiao Ma, I don't know what's going on. I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and asked me to go out for a drink."

Song Qi explained, and then comforted her: "Go to sleep, I'll go see what's going on."

"Um."

An Qin responded and warned: "If you drink, ask a driver to drive you back. Don't drive after drinking."

"I know, go to sleep now."

Song Qi leaned over and kissed her on the forehead, got up, put on clothes, took the car keys, and drove out.

Song Qi was quite emotional as he drove all the way to the back door of the film school and looked out the window at the still bustling street market, students chatting and joking with each other and enjoying the nightlife.

Once upon a time, he was one of these students. He and his classmates could happily drink together all night with just one beer and two plates of peanuts.

But after graduation, he hasn't been here for many years.

Looking at the familiar restaurants, hotels, and supermarkets on the roadside, Song Qi looked for the door of the barbecue restaurant in his memory.

When they found the place, Song Qi was surprised to find that Bayi BBQ, which was originally a small shop of more than ten square meters, had now turned into a large store of more than two hundred square meters, and it was extremely beautifully decorated and brightly lit.

After finding a parking space and parking the car, Song Qi walked towards the barbecue restaurant.

Although it is already late at night, the business in the barbecue shop is still very good.

Barbecue is a summer business, where you can eat skewers and drink beer. However, Bayi Barbecue seems to have brought sheep and scorpion hot pot now, and the winter business is also good.

After pushing the door open and entering the store, Song Qi looked around, trying to find the figure of the ethnic uncle from the Western Region Province.

Back then, his roasted kidneys were famous around the film academy. Song Qi and Xiao Ma would come here every now and then to have a meal, and the roasted kidneys were a must.

But unfortunately, the chef working in the kitchen is not the ethnic uncle, but a young ethnic guy in his twenties.

When Song Qi was in school, that ethnic uncle was already in his forties and had a son who was in primary school. Could it be that he was this guy?

When the restaurant waiter saw Song Qi entering the room, he greeted her. But as soon as he saw Song Qi, he recognized her and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"ah!"

The waiter shouted for a while, then covered his mouth and asked in disbelief: "Song Qi? Are you Song Qi?"

"Hello."

Song Qi nodded: "I'm here to see my friend, box 202."

"Oh, it's upstairs... I'll take you there!"

The waiter hurriedly led him to the stairs, looking back at him in surprise as he walked.

Looking around, Song Qi sighed: "There's a second floor? When I was in school, this store only had a few small tables on the roadside, but now it has such a big store!"

"Yes! It was already there when I came."

The waiter looked back at him with a smile: "Our boss said that you often came here to eat when you were in school. We still didn't believe it. It turns out that you are really a regular customer here!"

“I’m not a regular customer, but I always come here when I want to have barbecue.”

Song Qi responded with a smile, and as he spoke, he had already arrived in the private room upstairs.

Opening the door, Xiao Ma was sitting in a private room smoking a cigarette. In front of him were a copper hot pot, two bottles of wine, and several plates of cold dishes.

"I'm going to get busy first. If you need anything, call anytime. There's someone outside."

The waiter looked at him reluctantly, then turned around and walked out, closing the door behind him.

"What's going on? Why did you suddenly become emotional in the middle of the night?"

Song Qi opened the chair next to Xiao Ma and sat down.

"well!"

Xiao Ma sighed and asked Song Qi with a frown on his face: "Do you think I'm a scumbag?"

"Of course!"

Song Qi said without hesitation: "This is the only certain thing in the uncertain universe. What makes you doubt it?"

"..."

Xiao Ma looked at him speechlessly: "I'm serious."

"I'm serious too!"

Song Qi asked in surprise: "You have had dozens of girlfriends. Isn't this a scumbag?"

"..."

Xiao Ma instantly wilted, but still defended somewhat unconvincedly: "But I truly love every one of them!"

"Isn't fraternity the biggest characteristic of a scumbag?"

Song Qi took the cigarette case in front of Xiao Ma, smoked one out, and asked, "Stop being pretentious, what happened to Concubine Bai?"

"well!"

Xiao Ma sighed again and explained with a frown: "I originally wanted to take her home to meet my parents during the Chinese New Year, but she didn't agree. After I came back during the Chinese New Year, she had already started traveling around the country.

Notice was given, but I can’t even make one or two phone calls every day.”

"Isn't this normal?"

Song Qi was puzzled: "She has just become popular, so there will definitely be a lot of announcements. If we don't take advantage of this moment to stabilize her popularity, will we miss the opportunity in vain?"

"She has also accepted several scripts, which will be filmed this year. One of them will join the team next month. Now that she joins the team, won't she have even less time?"

Xiao Ma sighed: "I regret letting you praise her. Now that she is famous, she will definitely dislike me."

"What nonsense? Why are you so good at thinking?"

Song Qi frowned and asked: "She accepted the script? When? Why didn't I know?"

"I asked her agent, and she accepted several scripts."

Xiao Ma said with a sad face: "She must have felt that I was not practical and would not be able to go to the end with her, so she was worried and worked hard to take on the role, hoping to earn more money to prepare for the future."

"You have a very good grasp of the mentality of a licking dog!"

Song Qi clicked his tongue and exclaimed: "How did you do it when a scumbag turned into a bitch? Can you tell me about your journey?"

Xiao Ma looked at him resentfully: "Did I call you out just to make you laugh at me?"

"You stayed up in the middle of the night and called me out to see if you were sick. It's a good thing I didn't beat you!"

Song Qi scolded angrily: "After all, he is a rich man with a net worth of several billions, but he can't handle such a trivial matter?

If you really like her and don't want her to show up, just marry her home. If you don't want to marry her, let her go as soon as possible and change your goals. Isn't this very simple?"

"I really want to marry her."

Xiao Ma said with a sad face: "I proposed to her, but she didn't agree and said she wanted to work hard for her career again."

"Then why don't you just help her with her career?"

Song Qi sighed: "I shouldn't have promised you to help you flatter her. Why should I flatter your partner? You think twice about her after you flatter her, so why should I?"
