Filming of the upper part of The Old Country ended at the end of April.
At the end of the first part, Zhou Xinchun's factory finally survived the turmoil, turned the corner, and even made a fortune because of the relationship with senior officials. Zhou Xinchun triumphantly drank all night with celebrities and senior officials from all walks of life. The sound of singing and dancing, mahjong, women's loud laughter and clinking glasses intertwined. The luxurious hotel was full of jewels. Zhou Xinchun was intoxicated by fine wine and cigars, immersed in In the joy of the peak of his career, he completely forgot the promise he had made to his wife who went back to the countryside to rest, and would visit her whenever he was free.
At this moment, the courteous waiter sent a telegram, Zhou Xinchun took it casually, then he stood up, and the long shot followed him out of the hotel, onto the empty street in the early morning, where there were only neon lights flashing. In spring catkins dance all over the sky, and snow falls on the Huangpu River.
The telegram sent was the news of his wife's death, and Zhou Xinchun's back slowly melted into the catkins of dawn.
When Cheng Yan completed these shots, his heart was very peaceful. From bliss to sorrow, the heart of Zhou Xinchun's character will become colder and harder.
That feeling of getting hard-hearted... Cheng Yan felt that he could understand.
After quarreling with Xia Shaoqian and reconciling, Cheng Yan gradually felt tired. He has never met such a difficult partner as Xia Shaoqian, and more importantly, this qualitatively difficult relationship has lasted for more than three years—the longest of all his relationships.
This really made him a little bit emotional and at a loss.
The upper part of the old country was finished at the end of April, and the shooting plan is to start filming the second part in mid-September. There were more than three months in between, and Cheng Yan's real vacation was less than two weeks.
Xia Shaoqian took him to go fishing.
Recently, Cheng Yan has clearly felt that Xia Shaoqian prefers more "quiet" outdoor activities, less tennis and more fishing.
Fishing tests patience and eyesight. April is the best time of the year, and after throwing stalks by the natural pond in the wetland, Cheng Yan is more likely to be in awe. Surrounded by quiet and luxuriant aquatic plants, beside the green duckweed, wild callas and calamus grow in clusters, and flowers bloom in chaos.
There are wild ducks swimming by from time to time, these are more enjoyable than fishing itself, Cheng Yan is always easily distracted by these wild birds.
However, Xia Shaoqian has always been very focused, and every time he harvests more than Cheng Yan, he drives two fishing rods by himself, and later Cheng Yan simply baited him and acted as a helper.
"More balls, more balls." Xia Shaoqian likes to cast heavy baits. Cheng Yan squatted there to play, Xia Shaoqian leaned over to teach him, just like teaching his son.
When Cheng Yan raised his head, he could see Xia Shaoqian's smiling eyes under the fisherman's hat.
"What's wrong?"
Cheng Yan also smiled: "I think this is very warm..."
Every time it ends, Xia Shaoqian usually only keeps one or two special ones, and releases other small fish and ordinary fish. Cheng Yan thinks this is the most fun, grabs the fish and throws it into the water like throwing a ball, the farther you throw the merrier.
Xia Shaoqian seemed to like to see Cheng Yan making such a fuss, and said to him without pain or itching: "Is there anyone who released life like you... Xia Ye was quieter than you when he was young."
"You used to take Xia Ye fishing?"
After throwing the fish, Cheng Yan helped pack the fishing gear.
"Only once or twice. He was closer to Qiu Yunnan at that time..." Xia Shaoqian was a little lost in his words. After Xia Ye went abroad to study, Xia Shaoqian mentioned his son more often in front of Cheng Yan.
"But even though he was only six or seven years old at that time, he could sit still." When he said he could sit still, Xia Shaoqian glanced at Cheng Yan.
Cheng Yan laughed: "I'm not even as good as a child. That's fine."
Xia Shaoqian also laughed, lamenting that he didn't have the savvy for fishing: "Forget it, I won't take you with me in the future. I haven't seen you improve after so many visits." Cheng Yan was cheeky: "It's good to be with you, do nothing. would be boring."
Xia Shaoqian glanced at him, but did not answer. The conversation turned elsewhere.
Cheng Yan's words are not false. He originally thought it would be boring, but looking at the scenery, Xia Shaoqian, and playing with two clubs, the time passed faster than expected. Originally, he felt a little pity to go to F1 with Qin Heng and the others. It happened to be finalized in Shanghai, so Qin Heng dragged a group of young men and women together, saying that they would go to F1 together. Cheng Yan was also a little moved, but he came back to accompany Xia Shaoqian as soon as it was over.
After two days, Cheng Yan became thankful that he didn't go with them.
A photo of Qin Heng and Xu Ningyi watching the game together was taken, and the content on the picture was that Qin Heng was in love, and wanted to eat wild food after having a fiancée; rich family.
The Qin family immediately came out to deny the scandal. It’s actually very easy to say whether or not—although Qin Heng did have an affair with Xu Ningyi, there were a lot of people who went to watch the game at that time. Gossip classic.
Because the Qin family clarified quickly, there seemed to be nothing to stir up in the media. But in the Internet age, any news that is speculative may be discussed by the whole people. Xu Ningyi played the role of meddling in other people's marriages in the old country, and in reality, she had an ambiguous relationship with Qin Heng. It was like an explosion on the Internet, and her exposure rate far exceeded other actresses.
Even Shen Leming, who had been with her for a while, her group of good sisters, and her deadly enemies, all jumped out to express their thoughts at this time. Shen Leming was still going around in the second line, and for several days in a row, she helped Xu Ningyi speak well in front of the reporters: "I don't think she is that kind of girl...she is very strong...ah? What does being strong have to do with this matter?" Relationship? In short, she will not meddle in other people's feelings... "
Cheng Yan was glad that he didn't have to participate in these. Some reporters also called him, but Xiao Hu and the others blocked them all.
Before making love with Xia Shaoqian at night, Cheng Yan suddenly went to close the window.
Xia Shaoqian was a little confused: "It's more comfortable to open the windows in this weather."
Cheng Yan shook his head, did not speak, went to bed and held down Xia Shaoqian: "Close the window and rest assured." Xia Shaoqian understood what he was worried about, and couldn't help laughing: "Are you nervous at this time?"
Cheng Yan also felt that he was bored, the matter between him and Xia Shaoqian was about to explode, and the company and Xia Shaoqian were both suppressing it. He and Xia Shaoqian never appeared together in public, so he was already careful.
Closing the windows in your own home... it's actually funny.
"I'm just asking for psychological comfort..." Cheng Yan laughed at himself.
Xia Shaoqian kissed Chengyan. Since the last quarrel, he began to feel that some things don't need to be taken too seriously. In his vision, they still have a long, long time, long enough to solve all problems.
In June, Cheng Yan joined Director Luo's crew. Director Luo is the director introduced to him by Ouyang Zhiyi. Before Xia Shaoqian saw that Cheng Yan was very concerned about Director Luo's affairs, his reason was that he had introduced a bigger director to Cheng Yan, who was no worse than Director Luo, so why didn't he care so much.
But this time Xia Shaoqian's reaction was calmer. When Cheng Yan told him that he was going to cooperate with Director Luo, he didn't say anything, he didn't even ask what the subject matter was, and adopted a laissez-faire attitude of ignoring it.
Cheng Yan was really not used to it.
Whether you are not used to it or not, it is quite comfortable.
Teacher Yang is a bit pessimistic: "I only care about you if I like you. Do you think ordinary people care about their neighbors' affairs?"
Cheng Yan was a little dazed: "What do you mean?"
Teacher Yang couldn't bear to say the word "tired", so he changed a euphemism: "Maybe he is a little tired, and he is not as excited as he was at the beginning... I can't control it, why are you arguing with him? How hurtful? Feelings." Teacher Yang has a lot of experience. Generally, donors don't like to quarrel. They originally wanted to have fun, but in the end they get angry and hurt their spirits. Unless they are still in the mood, the more quarrels, the faster the division.
"Tired" is more touching than "tired".
"… How are you recently."
"Very good," Cheng Yan recovered and smiled, "I don't think so much anymore, right now it's time to make Director Luo's movie well."
