When "Once Upon a Time in Two Cities" was completely completed, Zhuang Yan gathered everyone in the crew for a meal.
Most of the actors left the group early when their scenes were completed, so this time it was basically the main creative group and the actors who stayed until the last scene.
Roughly speaking, everyone has been together for more than half a year, and they are a little reluctant to part.
As a newcomer, Luo Zixin is even more emotional. She was spotted by Zhuang Yan from school and made a movie for the first time. Although she was always scolded by Zhuang Yan during the period, her acting skills are also increasing day by day. I have improved a lot in the day-to-day training.
She gained a lot from this period of time, she couldn't help getting up and offering a toast to Zhuang Yan, and said sincerely: "Filming "Once Upon a Time in Two Cities" was a great honor for me. Thanks to the criticism and teaching of Director Zhuang, I can learn so much."
Zhuang Yan smiled: "If you are so formal, you should leave it to the reporters. You don't need to be so cautious now."
Luo Zixin shook his head: "These are my thoughts."
She is the most inexperienced actor in the crew, but she plays an important role. Zhuang Yan never saves face when filming. He strives to be as beautiful as possible, and sometimes hates that iron is not steel, and when he scolds the worst In front of all the staff, Luo Zixin was directly scolded and cried, and finally asked her to put on makeup and continue shooting.
But Luo Zixin also has a resilience, so he doesn't hold any grudge against Zhuang Yan.
She knew in her heart that the harder Zhuang Yan scolded, the more exciting her performance under the camera would be.
Sheng Shisong and her have played opposite roles for so long, and they have a good relationship. He joked: "You can still say such scenes now, and when you are chased by reporters with guns and short guns in the future, I'm afraid you don't want to say anything. "
Luo Zixin said: "I'm an amateur, no reporter will run after me."
Sheng Shisong heard the words and raised a glass to her: "I'll give you a toast first, based on your performance in the movie, I believe you will be popular after the release, and when you become famous in the future, don't forget us. "
The corners of Luo Zixin's lips curved: "Then I'll borrow your auspicious words, and I wish you a magnanimous star and win the Best Actor crown as soon as possible."
"Why are you all so polite." Zhuang Yan laughed, "The atmosphere has been made serious by you."
Sheng Shisong smiled and said, "Then I'll chat about something else... I heard that Director Zhuang is getting married?"
Zhuang Yan was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows: "You are well-informed."
The crowd burst into laughter.
"congratulations!"
"Why didn't Director Zhuang say a word."
"When the time comes, remember to invite me to a wedding wine. I have all the money ready."
Most of the people present knew the relationship between Zhuang Yan and Xie Ning, and many eyes were on Xie Ning at this moment.
Xie Ning felt uncomfortable for a moment, then his arms tightened, and a force pulled his body and leaned over to Zhuang Yan's side: "The specific wedding date has not yet been set, my mother and the elders of Xie Ning's family are expected to discuss it for a while. , but it should be this year.”
Everyone was stunned, and some people who didn't know it before whispered: "I just said they were a couple."
"Good things come in pairs."
Wang gradually clicked his tongue and said, "I didn't expect you to get off the list earlier than me."
Then he turned to look at Xie Ning and smiled: "Congratulations, don't forget to send me the candy."
Xie Ning's face turned red when everyone looked at him like this, but his heart was sweet.
He settled down and said to the person he blessed, "Thank you."
Although the film has been completed, the holiday is only for the actors, and other staff members are still busy with post-editing.
Fortunately, in the later stage, there was no need to run around in the field like filming. Xie Ning and Zhuang Yan returned to the north together. After work, the two could also take time to prepare for the wedding with Ms. Qiao.
"This is the guest list that your dad and I made up at the beginning." Ms. Qiao put a small notebook in front of the two of them, "Most of them are relatives and friends from the banker's side, and your grandmother's side, who settled abroad. More, after the date is set, you have to tell them in advance so that they have time to return to China."
Zhuang Yan flipped through the pages: "So many?"
"It's more than that. The list on Ningning's side has to wait for Mr. Xie to see it in person. You can also take a look. If you want to invite any friends I don't know, remember to add your own name." Ms. Qiao stroked her hair, " It is estimated that there will only be one such wedding in one's life, so it is natural to have a grand and important one."
Ms. Qiao turned her head and asked Xie Ning, "What does Ningning think?"
Xie Ning thought for a moment and said, "I'll listen to you."
Ms. Qiao curled her lips: "It's all a family, why are you so polite?"
Xie Ning was startled, looked away a little embarrassedly, and said in a low voice, "…
"Hey, good boy." Ms. Qiao felt at ease, patted Xie Ning's hand gently, and said, "It can be considered a change, and you mustn't forget it in the future."
Xie Ning was slightly embarrassed, and responded with a red ear tip.
Regarding this wedding, Xie Ning's parents' attitude is always unclear. Ms. Qiao and his wife let Xie Ning not need to intervene, and they don't know how they communicated. In the end, they agreed to attend, which is a decent face.
Mr. Xie is looking forward to this wedding, but he is too old, and the preparations for the wedding are mainly handled by Ms. Qiao.
Xie Ning was a little uneasy at first, afraid that it would be too much trouble for Ms. Qiao, thinking that she should help when she was free.
Zhuang Yan reassured him: "don't worry about it, she is in it. When I was an adult, she started to imagine my future wedding, and now her wish has been fulfilled."
Ms. Qiao really enjoyed it, and within two days, when the two of them rarely had free time and were ready to spend the two-person world, she came to the door again.
This time, it was because the two's dresses arrived, and Ms. Qiao specially sent them over for them to try on. If there was anything that didn't fit, there was time to change it.
Xie Ning took the clothes and went upstairs to the bedroom to change, but as soon as he took off his clothes, Zhuang Yan followed.
He was empty-handed and didn't bring his set of gifts. Xie Ning was stunned for a moment and looked up at him.
"I'll change it for you," he said.
Xie Ning's lips moved: "It's not that I can't wear clothes."
Zhuang Yan has already got the clothes in his hands, he raised his eyebrows and smiled: "But I just want to help you wear them."
Xie Ning couldn't beat him, so he had no choice but to open his arms and ask him to help put on the dress on his upper body.
Zhuang Yan wanted to help him change his trousers, but Xie Ning clung to the belt tightly and refused. In the end, Zhuang Yan made him blushed, and he never let go, so Zhuang Yan had to sigh regretfully.
When Xie Ning changed into a complete dress, Zhuang Yan reached out to help him smooth the folds one by one.
The hot palm stroked from his back to his shoulders, and then landed on his chest, not even letting go of the hem of his clothes, and finally gently placed it on his waist and abdomen.
Xie Ning wondered for a moment whether he was here to help or just wanted to take the opportunity to eat tofu.
After a while, he no longer doubted, because Zhuang Yan directly reached out and carried him to the edge of the bed, pressing down half of his body, forcing him to lean back and put his hands on the edge of the bed.
"What, what?" Xie Ning couldn't help but pushed him with his hand.
Zhuang Yan didn't answer, he let go of him, took a step back, his deep eyes fell on him as if he was substantive, and looked at him carefully from beginning to end.
In the end, his eyes stopped on Xie Ning's neck. The dress had a matching bow tie, but the clothes were not high-necked, and there was a little fair skin on the neck.
Zhuang Yan's eyes darkened slightly.
"What's wrong? What's wrong with this suit?" Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Xie Ning lowered his head and didn't notice anything wrong, so he wanted to get up and take a look in the mirror.
Before anyone could stand up, Zhuang Yan had already stepped forward, pressed him into the soft quilt, and kissed him thoroughly.
The hot kiss lasted for a long time, and the warm lips seemed reluctant to let go, moved down slowly, kissed from the chin to the neck, and bit Xie Ning's Adam's apple lightly.
Xie Ning panted and pushed him, Zhuang Yan buried his head at his neck, and reached out to touch only a soft hair.
After a while, Zhuang Yan raised his head and said, "I'm a little hesitant to let you wear this dress at the wedding."
Xie Ning couldn't help but ask nervously, "Is it not good-looking?"
Zhuang Yan gave a low smile: "It's beautiful."
He said: "You look better than you have ever been. I am afraid that when I see you like this... I will not be able to control it."
Xie Ning asked in a low voice, "What can't you control?"
Zhuang Yan glanced at him, put his face close to his ear, and said in a low voice, "I can't help but want to kiss you."
Hot hands clasped Xie Ning's waist, his fingers tightened slightly.
"I can't help but want to put you on the bed and do something more egregious."
Xie Ning: "… "
He blushed for a long time, before reaching out and pushing the person away from him, he turned his head and said, "Don't make trouble... Your clothes are all wrinkled by you."
Before going downstairs, Xie Ning took another look in the mirror for a long time to make sure that the dress on his body fit properly, without the slightest fold.
Even so, when she noticed Ms. Qiao's meaningful gaze, Xie Ning's face suddenly turned red.
They stayed in the bedroom for too long, and Xie Ning was not as cheeky as Zhuang Yan, so the expression on his face made people think.
"You are dressed in one suit. On the wedding day, others will definitely envy Zhuang Yan. Where did you find such a good-looking other half?" Ms. Qiao glanced at Zhuang Yan and said nothing, but praised Xie Ning's good-looking suit. .
After all, the son was born from her own stomach, so she still can't know what kind of temperament
Zhuang Yan nodded beside him: "I think so too."
Ms. Qiao glared at him angrily: "Stop talking nonsense, and you should try on clothes quickly."
Zhuang Yan raised his eyebrows carelessly and ran to change clothes leisurely.
The dresses fit very well, and there is nothing to change. Ms. Qiao looked at the two people leaning side by side with a momentary daze.
It seems that from the moment Zhuang Yan was born, she had been looking forward to today's scene - the child she raised hard, holding another person's hand, accepting her blessing, saying that he finally found someone to spend his life with.
He grew up and left her side.
He has his own life and path, as well as his own love and happiness.
…
The wedding was planned in an orderly and orderly manner. The final guest list was drawn up by Xie Ning and Zhuang Yan. The wedding address was chosen by Ms. Qiao, a five-star hotel belonging to Zhuang Yan's industry.
Ms. Qiao also invited someone to specially design the invitation cards, which are very beautiful, but unfortunately the invitation cards have not been sent out yet - the wedding time has not been determined yet.
Originally, Ms. Qiao thought that the wedding could be set on Zhuang Yan's birthday, which was quite commemorative, but Zhuang Yan disapproved.
"In the future, I can only celebrate one of the two festivals, the birthday and the wedding anniversary, thanks to that."
It's pointless to ask Shainin's opinion. Most of the time, he says, "I think it's okay, you can decide."
The final wedding date was set a week after Zhuang Yan's birthday.
Before that, the post-editing of "Once Upon a Time in Two Cities" was completely completed.
When watching the film with Zhuang Yan, Xie Ning felt a strange feeling in his heart, which he had never had before watching a film.
There are many scenes and pictures that he is familiar with in the movie. Some of them were designed and painted by him all night long, and when they were presented on the big screen, they gave him different senses.
This familiar and unfamiliar feeling made him have a thousand words to say for a while, but he didn't know how to express it.
"How is it?" Zhuang Yan asked him, "This is a work we completed together."
Xie Ning was taken aback by his description, and murmured, "It's like our child."
Zhuang Yan paused, then turned around and buckled Xie Ning's waist, slowly leaned in and said, "Then we will have many children in the future."
In the dim light of the big screen, Zhuang Yan gave him a tender kiss.
Zhuang Yan has high hopes for the film "Once Upon a Time in Two Cities".
Xie Ning also felt that this was a masterpiece comparable to classic films, and he was worried that he had a good filter for watching his own children.
In contrast, Zhuang Yan is much more confident - the film has not yet been released, and he has decided to send it to the Venice International Film Festival first.
"Among the three major international film festivals, Venice values Chinese-language films the most." Zhuang Yan said, "Actually, I'm not optimistic about the box office of "Once Upon a Time in Two Cities", but awards can be won."
Xie Ning smiled when he heard the words: "Are you so confident about its box office?"
"It's not that I don't have self-confidence, it's that I'm too confident." Zhuang Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Have you ever heard such a saying: movies are the director's art. For literary films, box office is not its pursuit and pursuit. Purpose."
Shainin asked, "Is that the pursuit of awards?"
Zhuang Yan shook his head and said, "Not all, it's just a proof, it's more an expression of the director's self-art. Many directors' films have their own style, even if they use different types of shots and various This style cannot be erased. Many viewers think that a movie should have a complete plot and tell a good story, but for me, I don’t pursue story and logic when making movies. It's about conveying an emotion."
"Art itself is a form of self-expression." Shainin thought for a moment, then said, "My thinking, my philosophy, my ideals, my feelings... So it's very personal."
Zhuang Yan responded: "The audience of literary films is also extremely small. Among the 100 audiences who go to the cinema, only one person may watch literary films, and among ten audiences who watch literary films, there may be only one who can watch literary films. I resonate, understand my emotions, and even what this person finally interprets is not necessarily exactly what I want to express.”
"So I will send "Once Upon a Time in Two Cities" to the film festival, but I won't spend too much energy on publicity. It doesn't need excessive publicity, nor is it suitable to be promoted to the public like a commercial film, and a literary film does not need the public. inspection."
Xie Ning turned to look at him, his pupils bright and clear.
"I think I can," he said.
Zhuang Yan asked, "What?"
Shainin replied, "I can understand the emotion you want to express."
Zhuang Yan was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
"I know, that's the resonance of our souls."
The lights on the big screen gradually dimmed, and a shadow fell in front of Xie Ning.
After a moment, a warm touch covered his lips.
…
Before the wedding, Xie Ning asked Ji Wenbin again.
This time, instead of going to the hospital, the two made an appointment at a cafe.
Ji Wenbin said: "Will it make you feel more relaxed here? The hospital will give people more or less psychological hints. If you always run to the hospital, you will feel sick if you are not sick."
Xie Ning nodded, with a smile on the corner of his lips: "What Dr. Ji said is."
Ji Wenbin added cube sugar to the coffee and mixed it with a spoon: "I see that you look good, you don't look like you are in trouble."
Xie Ning took out an invitation and handed it to him: "It's mainly to send this."
Ji Wenbin was a little surprised: "Are you going to get married? Yes, you mentioned it to me last time."
Xie Ning lowered his eyes slightly: "I have also received a lot of care from Dr. Ji these days."
"The wedding is next week?" Ji Wenbin glanced at the time and smiled, "I should be able to spare time, congratulations."
Xie Ning smiled: "Thank you."
The two of them sat by the window. The sky was bright and the sun shone through the glass, as if a piece of gold was sprinkled on Xie Ning's side face.
Ji Wenbin looked at him for a few seconds and shouted, "Xie Ning."
"Huh?" Xie Ning looked up after hearing the words.
"Your mood is very stable now." Ji Wenbin said, "How are you feeling recently?"
Shaining recalled for a moment and said: "Sometimes I feel a little anxious, maybe because I'm about to get married."
"Anxiety?" Ji Wenbin asked, "When does it usually appear? What level of anxiety?"
"It's mostly when I'm alone." Xie Ning thought for a while, "It's very mild, it won't affect anything, wait for Zhuang Yan... Oh, that's my fiancé, when he returns home, his mood will return to normal. "
Ji Wenbin smiled: "Are you showing your love in front of me?"
Xie Ning followed with a smile: "Sorry... In fact, I want to ask, Doctor Ji, is my illness cured?"
Ji Wenbin took a sip of coffee, put down the cup, and looked up at Xie Ning: "I remember I said this last time."
"Xie Ning, you are not sick now."
Xie Ning's eyelashes trembled twice, like a dragonfly fluttering. After a while, he whispered, "Thank you, Doctor Ji."
When the coffee in the cup was almost bottomed out, Xie Ning's cell phone suddenly rang, and he looked sideways to see that it was Zhuang Yan.
"I'm here." Zhuang Yan said, "Have you finished talking?"
"Well." Xie Ning responded, "Where are you?"
Zhuang Yan said, "just entered the door of the cafe, which table are you at?"
Xie Ning looked down at the number plate on the table and reported the location.
"Sit still, I'll be there soon."
After hanging up the phone, Xie Ning looked up, and Ji Wenbin just stared at him: "Someone is coming?"
Xie Ning said, "Well, it's my fiancé. He's here to pick me up."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuang Yan's figure appeared in his sight.
"Doctor Ji, long time no see." He nodded to Ji Wenbin and greeted him friendly.
"Long time no see, Mr. Zhuang."
Xie Ning opened his eyes wide, looked at Ji Wenbin, and then turned to look at Zhuang Yan, seemingly confused as to how they knew each other.
But that bit of confusion was quickly put behind him. He stood up and said to Ji Wenbin, "Doctor Ji, then we'll go first."
Zhuang Yan's car was parked in the underground garage. Not long after the two entered the elevator, another group of people came in. Zhuang Yan held Xie Ning's hand and protected him in his arms.
The two just leaned against each other until they walked to the front of the car, before Zhuang Yan released him and helped him open the car door with a very gentlemanly manner.
When starting the car, Shainin asked, "Are you going home?"
Zhuang Yan didn't say a word, and Xie Ning didn't speak again for fear of disturbing his driving.
When the car stopped at the destination, Zhuang Yan asked with a little grievance, "Have you forgotten what day it is today?"
Xie Ning burst into laughter.
"I didn't forget." Xie Ning turned his head and touched Zhuang Yan's face, then turned slightly embarrassed and kissed Zhuang Yan's cheek, "Today is your birthday."
"Happy birthday."
"Is that so?" Zhuang Yan was still dissatisfied, "No birthday present?"
Xie Ning's eyes flickered slightly: "Yes... But I'll give it to you when I get home at night."
These words made people think, Zhuang Yan subconsciously raised his eyebrows to look at him: "Night?"
Xie Ning's face turned red all of a sudden: "...don't think about it!"
Zhuang Yan smiled innocently: "I didn't think about anything."
Xie Ning couldn't help but glared at him.
Ghost letter!
The wedding is a week later, and Zhuang Yan didn't spend much time holding any party for his birthday this year. Because he wanted to live a two-person world with Xie Ning, Ms. Qiao and his wife just brought gifts.
This may be the most unpretentious birthday Zhuang Yan has ever lived, but it is also the most satisfying for him.
At night, Zhuang Yan was lying on the bed in a relaxed manner, letting Xie Ning straddle him, trembling uncontrollably.
Zhuang Yan stared at him with deep and dark eyes: "Ning Ning, the curtains are not drawn, and the moonlight is shining on your shoulders... Did you know?"
Xie Ning's voice trembled: "... um, no, I don't know."
Zhuang Yan raised his body slightly and kissed his shoulder: "You are so... so beautiful."
Xie Ning's pupils shrank abruptly, and then fell down completely.
"I-I'm out of strength."
"Well." Zhuang Yan grabbed his waist and said, "Leave it to me next."
…
…
"Ningning." Zhuang Yan asked Xie Ning, who was paralyzed in his arms, "Where's my birthday present?"
Turns out he still remembers.
Xie Ning pursed his lips and smiled imperceptibly.
Zhuang Yan's voice was dull: "You won't really forget, will you?"
"No." Xie Ning raised his wrist and put it in front of Zhuang Yan.
The lights were not turned on in the room, but the moonlight filtered through the windows, framing the faint shadows.
Zhuang Yan rarely looked at the tattoo on Xie Ning's wrist. He didn't think the scar was ugly, but he felt distressed just by looking at it.
The flesh will sore, rot, and scab, but the pain buried under the scar will not dissipate. When I think of those past events, it is like a knife has been gouged out in my heart.
The moonlight was light enough for Zhuang Yan to see the tattoo clearly.
Xie Ning's skin is very white, and under the mottled light and shadow, it reveals a bit of exciting sexy.
The bird that once opened its wings and wanted to fly suddenly disappeared, as if it really turned into a bird and rushed out of the sky.
Instead, it was a blue whale jumping out of the water.
Zhuang Yan's breathing stopped suddenly.
"Mr. Blue Whale." Xie Ning's hoarse and lazy voice sounded in his ear, "I carved you on my body."
There are so many unpredictable things in the world.
If time could go back to the beginning, when Xie Ning handed over the blue whale doll, no one could have imagined that this blue whale would come into his life in the future and become his redemption, his safe haven.
Also give him the warmest home and love in the world.
No one could have imagined that such a beautiful love story could be born between Mr. Rabbit and Mr. Blue Whale.
The author has something to say: the urban fairy tale love story between Mr. Rabbit and Mr. Blue Whale is over, thank you for your company for the past four months.
I thought it was a short and medium story that could be finished with 20W, but I didn't expect that in the end, Rory wrote the text of 30W+.
At the beginning of this book, the original intention of the brain hole was a dog blood white moonlight and a stand-in terrier. As a result, it was written that the dog blood did not see it, and the ex-boyfriend went offline directly, which turned into a fairy tale love.
Sure enough, I am still suitable for writing some love cookies.
After that, there will be some extras, all kinds of messy stalks, and the follow-up of the movie and so on.
There is also an extra brain hole to write about if Zhuang Yan hadn't gone abroad, he would have met Xie Ning in college.
The new articles "What's Happening to the Trumpets" and "What Kind of Experience Is It Like Being Spotted by Straight Guys" are in the column, both of which are my favorite stalks, and the extras will be opened after I finish writing them~ If you are interested, you can bookmark them . Finally, ask the author to collect it~
