At the entrance of the Municipal Concert Hall, Yiran waited until Xiao Zhao, Gu Tingchuan's assistant, handed over the tickets with both hands, exchanged some greetings with her, and left with a smile on his face.
Before that, Yiran originally thought that she would have a chance to see who Gu Dao's "friend" is. After all, it is very likely that he also brought a female companion, which made her want to gossip.
But no matter how the other party is a well-known first-class director, how could she show her private life to a little teacher like her.
The performance started on time, and Yiran was the best seat on the first floor. She saw many "familiar faces" who often appeared on TV sitting nearby, as well as some men and women who she didn't recognize but could tell. However, As expected, he didn't see Director Gu, probably he and his friend were in the VIP box.
Two hours passed quickly, and the superb acting skills of foreign actors, the beauty of the curtain, and the splendor of music all intertwined into a great and beautiful work, which also made the audience applaud thunderously.
After the lights went off, the applause from the audience continued for more than ten minutes. Yiran rubbed his red hands, and finally left the concert hall under the guidance of the staff.
Outside, the light spots projected by the street lamps seemed to sway slightly in the wind, darkness enveloped the city that never sleeps, and the sound of cars starting all around, Yiran stood on the side of the road and planned to use the taxi app, but before he turned on the screen, he was in front of him. Not far away, there were a few trees with mottled shadows, and she saw a clear and lengthy figure, which was clearly Gu Tingchuan's appearance.
When Yiran saw the other party, she always thought that it would be impolite not to thank her, so she took the initiative to walk over: "Gu..." She was about to blurt out, but she was afraid of attracting attention, so she only waited a few steps closer before shouting: "Mr. Gu! "
Gu Tingchuan raised his eyes, and after seeing that it was her, he said with a proper demeanor, "Hello." After speaking, he smiled clearly again: "How do you feel?"
Yiran couldn't help saying a series of words of praise for the play: "As expected of a first-class team, the old man's acting is amazing, vivid, connotative, and of great significance..."
Gu Tingchuan's expression remained calm under the night light, and gradually he felt that her lively appearance was very interesting, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised with some curvature, and he just looked down at her like this.
Before she could stop talking, she heard another man's voice beside her: "Could it be that you are watching a drama alone?"
She turned her head and saw a man in the image of a handsome young man, and she couldn't help being slightly surprised. It turned out that the friend Director Gu brought today turned out to be a man.
Seeing that his friend looks quite friendly, Yiran smiled and said to himself, "It's okay, single dogs are like this, I'm used to it."
Anyway, she has tried to eat hot pot alone, watch movies alone, and go to opera alone without any problem.
"I only have one ticket." Gu Tingchuan explained slowly under the questioning eyes of the other party.
The young master immediately teased: "Hey, if you didn't tell me earlier, I would have exchanged my seat with this young lady. Isn't that superfluous to me? Director Gu, you don't know what to say..."
The atmosphere was a little inexplicably frozen, at least Yiran didn't know how to answer the conversation, and when he paused, Gu Tingchuan said lightly: "It's not that you said you wanted to watch it, but you almost fell asleep in the end. Xing."
"Oh, the implication is that I am not as good as a male partner than a female partner." The man shrugged and gave Yiran a wink: "Although Director Gu has a lot of scandals, in fact he will not easily provoke women, you have to know …”
Before he finished speaking, she watched Gu Tingchuan look behind her. After a while, he really whispered: "The car is here."
Yiran was afraid that people would make fun of him again. Hearing this, he immediately turned around and said goodbye to them: "Director Gu, thank you for your kindness today. The performance was so wonderful. I'll take a taxi back first, good night."
Gu Tingchuan didn't say anything more, just glanced at the bright back in silence, the friends around him still didn't want to let him go, so they couldn't stop teasing: "Why don't you send him back, it's too ungentlemanly .”
Gu Tingchuan frowned, and only said: "I saw Yuji."
…
In the past two years, the "Jiaye" film company has produced excellent works. Its founder and largest shareholder is Gu Tingchuan's father. In the past few years, due to the inability of the older generation, the company has gradually handed over the company's focus to the next generation.
Although he took the shares of the company and had to work for the board of directors, Gu Tingchuan's original intention was to like to create movies, because for him, movies are a bright light that reflects the world.
His reputation in the industry has always been praised, because no one can deny that this young man is a truly chivalrous "character".
After "Dark River" won several "Baihua Awards", Gu Tingchuan immediately devoted himself to directing his next film, and it was a "martial arts" theme that he had never been involved in.
Also because of his strict requirements, every day on the set is often swept away by low air pressure, which is simply mixed with wind and rain and frightening.
Everyone on the set listened to the man's instructions. The filming of this scene was not going well. He looked at the actress brought by the investor, and even the last trace of smile disappeared from the corner of his mouth: "Are you really good at acting? Or , just put it this way, don’t act if you don’t know how to act, I will make you look beautiful, but please don’t be smart, no one is allowed to change my scenes.”
The actress was choked by his words, she didn't cry or laugh, her pretty face turned pale abruptly, and finally she had to rest for a few minutes with tears in her eyes, supported by the assistant.
Gu Tingchuan called the assistant director and the heads of each team over, trained them one by one, and finally looked down at the time and found that it was too late, so he ordered everyone to go back to rest, and continue to report on the set at six o'clock tomorrow morning.
Every time it comes to the stage of filming, this man seems to have been injected with a potion of mental excitement. He never knows how to get tired. Even if he knocks down a group of staff, he still persists until the last one.
At night, the assistant drove Gu Tingchuan back, and the car drove through the endless traffic all the way to the Gu family's mansion in Mingwan, S city. It is close to the seaside, the density between the houses is relatively loose, and it is built on the middle of the mountain, the surrounding air is fresh, and the green area is needless to say. The rest seems to be isolated from the outside world. The scenery is beautiful all year round. can be seen.
Gu Tingchuan had just stepped into the living room with his long legs, and before he even had time to take off his shoes, he saw his father and mother sitting on the sofa watching TV and reading newspapers, apparently in the posture of wanting to ask questions.
He was slightly doubtful, but when he took a closer look, he saw several magazines and newspapers on the coffee table, not the financial and sports pages, but the entertainment section. Headshots of several female stars who "had an affair" with him.
"You also know that when you come back, how long has it been since you came home to see us elders?" Sheng Ru's mother scolded her younger son, but she still turned around and asked Mrs. Xiang at home to bring him tea and water.
"It's fine that you're busy with work recently. It's not a good thing to be surrounded by so many little stars. You're already thirty years old, so you should know how to restrain yourself."
Although this was the most absurd misunderstanding for him, Gu Tingchuan didn't want to pay attention to the delicate and serious atmosphere in the room, so he changed his slippers and unbuttoned his neckline, with a much more relaxed expression.
"Ting Chuan, you never bring your girlfriend back. Are you afraid that we will be dissatisfied? Mom has high demands on her future daughter-in-law, and she only has gossip with those unscrupulous girls all day long..."
Gu Linfeng put away the newspaper in his hand, looked at his son, and said quietly: "'Lessons from the past' are by my side, you want to learn from your prodigal brother? You know, these 'groundless rumors' will have an impact on the company."
The "big brother" mentioned by the father is the eldest son of the Gu family who recently went to Germany to find his grandparents. He is also Gu Tingyong, Gu Tai's father.
As for the young couple of the Gu family, they are the precious grandchildren of the big family. He was caught whoring in a box of a high-end club.
Mrs. Gu's quarrel immediately turned upside down, and now both of them went abroad in a fit of anger, neither of them thought about how to calm down their son Gu Tai's emotions, they really lost any sense of responsibility as parents.
Thinking of this, Gu Tingchuan suddenly felt his head hurt even more, he pinched his temples, and thought that this kind of relationship between the sexes would bother him for the rest of his life.
It's no wonder that others have mentioned that the family life of a great director is sometimes really lacking in quality. At least for him, falling in love is the most time-wasting thing.
Gu Tingchuan suppressed the sore brows, took a sip of the clear hot tea, put down the teacup steadily, and said: "I don't want to provoke these 'scandals', now their journals and magazines are under great competition pressure, even if I don't get close to women If you want to clarify, you can't seal the mouth of the public."
Although no matter what, those media would eventually withdraw the article because they had to take into account the cooperative relationship with "Jiaye", but this could not fundamentally prevent the spread of "scandal".
"Anyway, Ting Chuan, we don't want you to be 'unfeminine', you haven't brought back a girl you like all these years... If you... really don't like girls..."
Seeing that Sheng Ru's words became more and more outrageous, Gu Tingchuan felt that it was necessary to reiterate his sexual orientation. At this moment, Gu Tai came out of the upstairs room.
The child was already good at reading people's eyes. At this time, he glanced at the little uncle who showed no expressions of emotion or anger. He obediently walked over with his homework book and said crisply, "Uncle, when do you have time?"
Gu Tingchuan thought to himself that there might be some problem that the tutor could not solve, so he turned around and said, "What?"
"Teacher Yi assigned a summer homework in advance, asking us to observe the work of the elders and write a short composition." Gu Tai paused at this point, and asked cautiously: "Uncle, can I pick you? "
Gu Tingchuan glanced at his parents unhurriedly, then nodded lightly: "Understood, let's see what uncle does every day."
Sheng Ru hugged Gu Tai, and smiled until there were shallow creases between his brows: "Our Gu Tai is also very good, we have been popular since childhood, and today we received a love letter from a female classmate again, right?"
"Teacher Ke Yi said that there will be no result between me and 'them'."
Gu Tingchuan raised his eyebrows, meaning why.
Gu Tai also said indifferently: "Because she said, 'The painting style is different, how can I fall in love'."
One sentence made the two elders of the Gu family confused, but Gu Tingchuan smiled, and suddenly fell into some deep thought.
Unconsciously, the girl's pretty face appeared in his mind, with twinkling eyes, a natural smile, and black hair that was always slightly curving. Why is it lighter than the actresses around him when he walks.
Although we didn't meet many times, through Gu Tai's daily description, Gu Tingchuan gradually got a clear impression of that teacher Yi. At first, because of his nephew, he paid more attention to her and gave her preferential treatment. , So it became to understand each other a little more every day.
Even, he has some subtle affections for her, which is really a wonderful relationship.
