Qu Yanting didn't try to be brave again, and asked Lu Wen to help him take a bath. Soaked in hot water, he fell asleep once dizzy, and woke up with disordered breathing while cleaning up.
He worked until half past five, when Qu Yanting applied the ointment and changed into pajamas before sitting down at the dining table with a double cushion. The moment his buttocks sat firmly, half of his soul flew away.
After the cold food was microwaved, Lu Wen sat next to him and said, "Teacher Qu, you can try some of these. I ordered them from the restaurant of Mingzi Hotel."
Qu Yanting scooped up a spoonful of porridge: "Well, it's delicious."
Lu Wen opened the pizza box, put a piece of fried chicken on one corner of the pizza, slightly rolled it up and took a big bite. The crispy skin, tender meat of the fried chicken and the toppings of the pizza were mixed in his mouth.
It was the first time Qu Yanting saw this way of eating, and suddenly felt that the porridge in his mouth was tasteless, and he couldn't help stretching out his hand: "I'll have a piece too."
"No!" Lu Wenfu pushed him away, "These are too greasy, you have to eat something light."
Don't want to worry so much when the mouth is raging, Qu Yanting said: "It's okay, I can eat spicy hot pot."
Lu Wenxin said, you can pull it off. He tore off the meat inside the crispy fried chicken skin and said, "Well, I'll give you some shredded pork. It's said on the Internet that you should avoid eating it the next day. Be good."
"Online?" Qu Yanting asked curiously, "You still check these?"
Lu Wen said: "I didn't want to give you a perfect... Forget it, I didn't memorize a few of them anyway." Just like an exam endorsement, he finally chose to close the book and follow his feelings.
"Oh, that's right." Lu Wen brought Qu Yanting's cell phone, "Your assistant is looking for you."
Qu Yanting took it and opened it, looking at the phone while drinking porridge: "Yu Nan?"
Lu Wen said frankly: "Well, I was afraid that he was in a hurry, so I responded to the message without authorization, but I didn't read anything else."
Qu Yanting didn't mind and said, "It's okay." After clicking on WeChat, he read the chat history and couldn't help but sneer, "What are you talking about."
Lu Wen gnawed on the chicken leg: "It's the first time in my life that someone calls me sister-in-law."
Qu Yanting laughed even more happily: "I'm sorry."
"It's okay." Lu Wen licked his lips habitually, "Since I have become a sister-in-law in your employees' mouths, can I call you 'wife' in front of Fa Xiao?"
Qu Yanting bit the porcelain spoon and stopped, thinking of the "husband" he had beaten and deleted for a moment. After being coaxed to pee, calling this thing didn't seem to be enough to make him ashamed.
Seeing his silence, Lu Wen thought he didn't want to, so he said, "Can't you? That's what other gay people call it."
Qu Yanting asked, "Who?"
Lu Wen replied: "It's just... surnamed Gu."
His expression is particularly rich, with a hint of disdain and concern in jealousy, which reminds Qu Yanting of a high school boy who loves to compare. Whoever buys new sneakers, I must also want them.
We can't let him lose in front of his friends, Qu Yanting thought so, and agreed: "Okay, as long as you like it."
Lu Wen was pleasantly surprised: "Really, wife?!"
"..." Qu Yanting continued to drink the porridge, "Eat your chicken."
The atmosphere is good now, Qu Yanting gradually slowed down his chewing speed, thinking to himself, although he and Lu Wen reconciled, there were some things that he didn't say. To be precise, he was avoiding.
Qu Yanting hasn't revealed all his determination yet, but in view of the lessons learned this time, he doesn't want to deal with it in a completely concealed manner. Turning sideways, he said, "Lu Wen, I want to talk to you about Zeng Zhen."
Lu Wen's hands were full of oil, holding a pizza: "Director Zeng? What's the matter, what do you want to talk about?"
Qu Yanting spoke slowly, thinking carefully: "From the perspective of professional standards, Zeng Zhen is indeed a top director, but he may not be what the public sees him to be."
In the hearts of thousands of viewers, Zeng Zhen is a benchmark, a guarantee of quality that is willing to pay for tickets at the beginning of the film. In addition to being a famous director, he and Wang Mingyu's Book Shadow Foundation is also very famous, with charity blessings, his word of mouth and reputation have always been good.
Lu Wen didn't quite understand, so he asked, "What about Director Zeng?"
"He," said Qu Yanting, "he may not be the good person everyone imagines."
Lu Wen was obviously taken aback: "What do you mean?"
Qu Yanting said: "You still remember Jin Yanyu, he participated in Zeng Zhen's movie before, and then recorded "Utopia". You should know that one of the producers of "Utopia" is Book Shadow."
"Well, then Jin Yanyu..."
Qu Yanting said: "Jin Yanyu is Zeng Zhen's lover."
"Fuck!" Lu Wen's pizza fell into the plate, "No way?!"
Qu Yanting grabbed his wrist, took out a tissue to wipe the oily spots between his fingers, and said, "Before recording, I told you not to provoke him. That's the reason. You also saw how crazy he was later."
Lu Wen was greatly impacted, and tried hard to understand in the process of easing, lover, probably also a beautified term, perhaps the most commonly said "hidden/rules" in the circle.
"Then his wife..." Lu Wen was a little confused, "It's your master, does she know?"
Qu Yanting nodded: "I just listened to what my master said."
"Fuck!" Lu Wen was stunned again, "Your circle is really messed up!"
Qu Yanting wiped his hands clean, and slowly said: "They have been living their own lives these years, it's no different from a physical marriage, and they don't even know what each other is busy with or what they like to eat."
Lu Wen couldn't believe it: "Then why are you still together?"
Qu Yanting said: "Not everyone regards marriage as an emotional conclusion. With famous directors and editors, they are one plus one greater than two. Compared with husband and wife, it is more appropriate to say that they are a community of interests."
The richer the circle, the more common this kind of husband and wife relationship is, but Zeng Wang has been a husband and wife for many years, which is convincing.
Lu Wen suddenly lost his appetite, and patted the pizza box on.
"Don't eat?" Qu Yanting tried, "Do you find it hard to accept?"
Lu Wen shook his head. His legal wife didn't have any objections. He couldn't accept it: "I just suddenly felt that God was unfair. My father loved my mother so much, but he left early. People who have the opportunity to be with their lovers waste their lives in vain. .”
Qu Yanting also thought of her parents, but didn't dare to think too much, and said, "Then treat your father better, how about it?"
Lu Wen said "um", emotions come and go quickly, he opened a can of Coke and drank it, and suddenly realized that this was the first time Qu Yanting mentioned Zeng Zhen to him.
Did he lie to him before because he went to see Zeng Zhen? In retrospect, when Zeng Zhen praised him that night, Qu Yanting's attitude was a little distant, as if he was trying to distance himself from the relationship.
Lu Wen suddenly came to his senses: "Teacher Qu, are you afraid that Zeng Zhen will sneak into me?"
Qu Yanting squeezed the tissue into a small ball and replied, "In short... I don't want you to get involved with him."
"Don't worry." Lu Wen said, "Except for you who can sneak into me, everyone else is dreaming."
Qu Yanting didn't know what to say: "...Thank you."
Lu Wen was worried about him in turn: "Will your teacher-student relationship be affected? Are you closer to Zeng Zhen or your master?"
Qu Yanting said, "Follow me, master."
His courage only supported him to reveal it to this point. He leaned against Lu Wen's arm, and he rubbed it coquettishly: "Sorry, give me a little more time."
Lu Wen tilted his head and sniffed his hair, and said, "Okay, wife."
Qu Yanting: "..."
It was already dark after dinner, and the two of them were watching "The First Night" in the living room. Qu Yanting couldn't sit still for a long time, and lay on his side with a pillow on Lu Wen's thigh, with a blanket draped over his body.
Surrounded by only the light of the projection screen, it was like watching a movie. Qu Yanting remembered Ren Shu's comment that Lu Wen's ratio could be on the big screen. He looked forward to his husband Jackie Chan and said: "It will be great when I can make a decent movie."
Lu Wen patted his shoulder: "I forgot to tell you, didn't I have a few scripts looking for me before, and I signed the movie."
It's a literary film with a few supporting roles. Lu Wen thinks it's very suitable for a novice like him to hone his acting skills. I wanted to refer to Qu Yanting's opinion, but was delayed by the Cold War, and now he asked: "What do you think?"
"It's pretty good." Qu Yanting said, "Are you sure what you want most, salary, popularity, or purely wanting to be a good actor."
When Lu Wen entered the industry, he didn't have a clear goal. It wasn't until he met Qu Yanting on the set that he experienced the depression of acting and tasted the pleasure of acting well, so he really had some ideas about the identity of an actor.
"I want to be a good actor." Lu Wen said, "I'm not short of money. I'm popular. If I become a good actor, everyone will naturally like me."
Qu Yanting said: "That's right, little sister-in-law."
Lu Wen laughed and cursed, and played around with Qu Yanting's hair with his fingers. The screen suddenly changed to a cold color, and it was a flashback memory scene - Father Ye taught Ye Shan to draw when he was a child.
He still hasn't forgotten the first scene of the whole play, the rainy night, the van, but the person who falls and bleeds is not seen, which not only sets up suspense for the twins' car accident, but also symbolizes the disaster of Ye's father's death.
Lu Wen couldn't help but said: "The finished film is different from what I thought, there is a feeling of 'wow'..."
Qu Yanting said: "This is the power of editing."
In the preparatory stage, the screenwriter, director and editor went through a whole week of discussions to set the tone for the film, and everything presented today was designed in detail at the time.
The drama is more tragic and involves schizophrenia, so it is easy to shoot erratically, so Qu Yanting found Ren Shu, who made life dramas. With the addition of delicate fireworks, everything has a sense of realism of flesh and blood, and the slightly suspenseful editing style balances the rhythm of life dramas.
Lu Wen sighed: "So there are so many details."
Qu Yanting straightened up by supporting his thighs, and said: "It is very difficult to make a good film. Screenwriting, director, photography, editing, and actors, none of them can fail."
Lu Wen asked: "Then who is the most important?"
"Director." Qu Yanting answered simply, "The director's ability determines the lower limit of the film, and the director's courage determines the upper limit of the film."
"What do you mean by the second half of the sentence?"
"Let's take the editing as an example. The classic old film "Angels on the Road" was filmed for 13 volumes, and the editing proposed to cut it to 9 volumes.
Lu Wen stared at Qu Yanting's expression. When he was talking about this, his eyes were unbelievably vivid, and the corners of his lips seemed to be raised. He will always remember Qu Yanting's appearance in lecturing, the appearance of storyboarding, and the appearance of directing the filming in the rain.
Maybe Qu Yanting didn't realize it himself, but when he finished shooting a piece and shouted "Pass", he was so radiant.
"Teacher Qu." Lu Wen asked, "Why didn't you become a director?"
Qu Yanting became quiet for a moment, trying to search for an appropriate reason in his heart, but how could he answer? He promised Lu Wen that he would stop cheating.
There was a silent blank, Lu Wen hugged him, and waited patiently for his answer without urging or changing his words.
Inexplicably, Qu Yanting felt a burst of courage, in the steady and firm arms of the other party. He rested his chin on Lu Wen's shoulder, blinked his light eyelashes, and said half-jokingly, "Maybe I will do it one day."
Lu Wen looked forward to it: "Really?"
Qu Yanting turned his head and looked at the computer on the coffee table, which contained his latest movie script.
Lu Wen seemed to understand his hopes and worries. This time, he didn't ask for an answer, but took a step forward and said, "Who do you want to be the leading actor one day?"
Qu Yanting fell into fantasy: "Choose carefully, appearance, age, strength—"
Lu Wen interrupted him: "You still have to choose, shouldn't you just choose me?"
"Why?" Qu Yanting smiled, "It depends on your performance."
Lu Wen said shyly, "Is my performance not good enough? You can't pee anymore."
Like a cat whose tail was stepped on, Qu Yanting bit Lu Wen's shoulder in anger. Just a few words were like Zhuang Sheng's dawn dream, and he was a little reluctant to wake up.
But Lu Wen poked his heart: "Director Qu, what are you thinking?"
Qu Yanting closed her eyes, people are indeed greedy, when they have nothing, they only need a piece of cake to feed their hunger, and they can have spiritual pursuits without worrying about food and clothing, and when they taste the taste of love, they can't help but yearn for the fulfillment of their dreams.
"I was wondering..." Qu Yanting was a little drunk, "Will one day, you call me 'Director Qu' on the set, and when the film is over, we will call it a day and I will call you."
Lu Wen said, "Call me two hundred and five?"
Qu Yanting raised his face, weaving a scene in Lu Wenzangxing's eyes, maybe it will never come true, if you miss this moment, you will never be able to grasp it again.
He waited and said softly: "You acted really well...husband."
Lu Wen was stunned for two seconds—
"Let your father-in-law contribute! Let's make a movie tomorrow!"
