A few days before the release of the movie "We Go North", Su Pei gave movie tickets to all his friends.
Yao Zhicheng received the movie tickets and said that he would definitely bring his family to join the show, and he would also mobilize his colleagues around him to watch it.
Dr. Xu also received movie tickets, and he was very happy with Su Pei's recovery during this period. He can see Su Pei's current situation in the circle of friends, and with recent news on the Internet, he knows that Su Pei's new movie has a good reputation.
He and Su Pei chatted on WeChat.
Dr. Xu asked Su Pei, "How are you and that friend lately?"
That friend has become a tacit reference between Su Pei and Dr. Xu. Dr. Xu had never asked the name of "that friend", but it was already familiar.
"We are still friends, and sometimes we go out for dinner together."
"Then you should have survived. It's too mature to be able to handle this relationship with magnanimity." Dr. Xu replied.
Su Pei said, "It may not have much to do with maturity. It's just that we have naturally become like this, and we have found the most peaceful and least embarrassing way to get along."
"Time will resolve this problem," said Dr. Xu.
Su Pei thought, yes, he can only wait for time to resolve.
This time last year, he was still uneasy about discovering He Yiming's secret. Even after being rejected by He Yiming, he would even keep thinking, did something go wrong? He is like a student who failed the college entrance examination, a businessman who failed to invest, and refuses to accept bad news. He was angry with He Yiming at first, and then he was also angry with himself.
Sometimes, people clearly know that being insulted is not their fault, but they still can't help but want to find the reason from themselves.
Su Pei sees the reasoning clearly, but emotions cannot be controlled by reason.
A year has passed, and the relationship between him and He Yiming is almost the same as before. He digested all his emotions and even found a reason for He Yiming.
He thought He Yiming's words were ugly, but there was some truth in them. He and He Yiming have been friends for so many years. If He Yiming really wanted to be with him, he wouldn't delay it until today. After a person reaches the age of 30, memories are always more beautiful than reality.
He decided to forgive himself. The past can't be traced back, twenty-year-olds have the will of twenty-year-olds. All he has to do is to calm down and work hard so that he can enjoy the comfort and freedom of his 30s and 40s.
In layman's terms, Su Pei learned to pour himself chicken soup.
It is also thanks to the good word-of-mouth pre-sale of "To the North" recently, that Su Pei was a little less upset and calmer.
He and He Yiming have not talked about emotional matters in private recently.
Whether it is male-female love, or same-sex love, there is no such thing.
He Yiming has never introduced his boyfriend to him. Su Pei thought that maybe He Yiming had not come out publicly, so he would not publicly admit the relationship. Maybe He Yiming does not have a very fixed relationship.
Recently, Su Pei and He Yiming have resumed the previous mode of communication, and they just started to feel a little awkward about their position. If He Yiming hides a boyfriend, will he mind this "friendship" with He Yiming
He still can't help thinking about switching from male to male mode. Change to male and female mode, that is, a man still maintains a close friend relationship with his confidante who had a crush on him back then. It's hard for a real girlfriend not to mind, right
Su Pei knew that He Yiming didn't like other people's meddling and meddling in his privacy, so he thought about asking politely after a while.
But now "We Go North" is about to be released. Su Pei also has several interviews to do in text version recently, and wrote a few short articles about the script of the movie for the magazine.
The official release of the movie "To the North" was on Friday. Su Pei was suddenly very nervous on Thursday night the day before yesterday. Although the box office estimate was relatively optimistic, he didn't know what the result would be until the official release.
As if he knew what Su Pei was thinking, He Yiming called him.
"How is it, are you a little nervous?" He Yiming teased Su Pei.
Su Pei said, "It's more than a little bit? I'm waiting for the announcement now. It's strange to say, I've never been so nervous before."
He used to write mostly TV drama scripts, and he was very concerned about the ratings. However, the ratings of TV dramas will be out for many days. Sometimes the ratings are not good at the beginning, and then they will slowly climb up.
The most important thing at the box office of a movie is the two or three days in a weekend. If the poor box office in the first weekend ruined the word of mouth, it is basically hopeless to turn around later, which is more exciting than the ratings.
He Yiming reassured him, "Don't worry, the numbers won't be ugly."
He actually really wants to accompany Su Pei now, but he is on a business trip and won't be able to fly back until the day after tomorrow.
"When I come back, I will hold a celebration banquet for you all, which has already been arranged," He Yiming said, "This is an early decision, even if the box office is not good, you don't have to be under pressure, just come and play. ."
Su Pei smiled and said, "Okay. It's time for Director Zhou Ze to come back from the promotion. I happened to meet him."
He Yiming said, "And Li Yunsheng. Don't you have a good time with him now?"
Su Pei didn't expect He Yiming to take the initiative to mention Li Yunsheng. He didn't deny it, he just said with a smile, "Of course the hero of the celebration banquet will go."
He Yiming just mentioned it casually, he didn't care about this little Li in his heart.
"Send me the first draft of your novel when you have time."
Su Pei paused and said, "Okay. Li Yan read the first three chapters and said it was not bad. But before you read it, I want to say something."
"What's up?"
"In this book, I have a character who borrowed some of your things... Of course not exactly as you wrote, you don't have to worry about being discovered by readers, just borrowed a few words you said before, and we Some things in the drama club in college, some pranks we did together."
He added, "If you don't have a reason, I will revise this paragraph. Li Yan asked me to ask you better."
He Yiming said, "That's it? Don't ask me, you can write it."
He was even a little happy that Su Pei finally wrote about them.
What he cares more about is another thing, "Have Li Yan read the novel?"
Su Pei said, "I showed him the first three chapters, and he said it was not bad."
He Yiming did not speak. Li Yan is the editor of Su Pei's publishing house, and it is understandable to read Su Pei's first draft. But the privilege of being the first to read Su Pei's novels had always belonged to him before.
He didn't know why Su Pei made an exception this time.
"It's very late... I have to go to bed to make myself sleepy, and you should rest early." Su Pei listened to his silence, thinking that he had nothing to say.
He Yiming endured the thorn in his heart and said gently, "You rest. See you at the celebration banquet."
"We Go North" showed a very healthy and bright trend on Friday, Saturday and two days. The first Friday was a good box office, and it was the first of several films released that day. Saturday's box office rose by a full 30% compared to Friday's box office. Obviously, the audience's word of mouth was brought up.
As the starring role, Li Yunsheng's search on the Internet suddenly exploded. Before, his popularity was only in the pink circle, and his popularity was still limited to star-chasing girls. Now, among the passers-by, many people can recognize Li Yunsheng when they see the outdoor billboard - "Ah, it turns out that he is the star of "Xiang Bei"!"
He Yiming said that he was ready to hold a celebration banquet for "To the North". The schedule is on Sunday night. The box office of "To the North" has just exploded. At this time, the office can still promote it later. As for the point of the box office, it depends on the market reaction and whether there is a strong opponent.
As soon as he flew back from out of town, he first went to see his mother Zou Yongmei.
Zou Yongmei asked him if he wanted to stay for dinner. He Yiming said, "No, there will be a celebration dinner tonight."
Zou Yongmei heard from the staff around her before that Mr. He was going to hold a party for a movie. Mr. He seems to be quite interested in this movie, and he has packed a lot of internal scenes for them.
Zou Yongmei paid attention and knew that it was a movie starring a newcomer.
"Is it the movie "We Go North"?" Zou Yongmei asked.
He Yiming said, "That's it, the movie is good. You can go and watch it if you have nothing to do."
Zou Yongmei couldn't help but say, "Is Su Pei the screenwriter?"
He Yiming paused when changing clothes and said, "Yes."
Zou Yongmei's life is very smooth now, except for He Yiming's marriage. There are not many things she needs to worry about every day, and she has a lot of time to think about He Yiming.
She remembered that she had seen Su Pei at He Yiming's farm with her daughter. According to the farmer, Su Pei had been there more than once. She only thought that He Yiming was too good to Su Pei before. However, Su Pei is a good person. He also helped He Yiming when he was in college. He Yiming should miss his old relationship.
But since He Yiming had two same-sex scandals, Zou Yongmei's thinking now is whether He Yiming is right to Su Pei, too, well.
But she couldn't ask the question.
He Yiming's face was calm and he said, "Mimi Video attaches great importance to this movie, so I will show my face."
Zou Yongmei hurriedly said, "Then I won't let you eat, so go ahead."
She also added, "Maybe at the party, you might meet someone with eyesight!"
When He Yiming sat in the car to the hotel, he kept looking at his mobile phone.
Recently, Mimi has praised Li Yunsheng, plus the release of the movie, the news of Li Yunsheng is overwhelming. Coupled with his and Mimi's concern, new rumors have quickly appeared on the Internet.
"There must be someone behind Li Yunsheng, otherwise it will become popular too quickly. The resources are too good!"
"It's Mimi who is supporting Li Yunsheng. Let me give you an inside message. There will be an ancient costume drama starring Li Yunsheng soon. It will be adapted from a passionate romance, and the old drama will be matched. The standard configuration of supporting people."
"Mimi is from He Yiming now. There were rumors about He Yiming and Qiu Ruoyang before, but what He Yiming likes is not Qiu Ruoyang, but Li Yunsheng! It's all this one, but Li Yunsheng is obviously more than Qiu's. Joan is cleaner."
"Who do you say is not clean, stupid x above?"
He Yiming scoffed at these boring rumors. The Internet likes to spread these plausible things the most.
He wouldn't even care about any rumors about Li Yunsheng. Newcomers, there will always be all kinds of rumors of the opposite sex or the same sex.
So when he saw "Li Yunsheng's Lover" on the hot search, he didn't expect what he would see.
He saw a photo of Li Yunsheng.
It looks like it's Christmas time, and Li Yunsheng and his "lover" are standing in front of a restaurant. In the background is the beautiful glass window arrangement of the restaurant, full of Christmas spirit. Li Yunsheng was arranging the scarf for the "lover" with a smile, and his demeanor and movements were extremely gentle for a moment. Just because of the angle and light, the face of the lover could not be seen clearly, but from the figure and clothes, it was obviously a man.
"Ah, ah, I took this photo at Christmas last year. At that time, I just thought this little brother is so handsome! The two men are so eye-catching! I went to the movies with my best friend today, and I almost called out in the movie theater. Isn't that the little brother I photographed! It turns out that he already has a boyfriend... "
There was a heartbreak below.
"The handsome boys are all with the boys."
"Be optimistic, he hasn't been taken away by other women! I'm balanced."
"I didn't cry. And wouldn't it be better? Hahahahaha."
He Yiming stared at the photo for ten seconds. He was very sure that the back was Su Pei. He can recognize Su Pei when he is dead, he can recognize when he is turned into ashes, and he can recognize a strand of hair. The man in the photo is Su Pei.
After his mind was blank for more than ten seconds, He Yiming came back to his senses. He thinks things on the Internet are not credible.
This kind of ambiguity captured in a moment, he and Su Pei want as much as they want. Li Yunsheng in the photo has lost his sense of proportion, but he is just arranging the scarf, not even kissing, talking about gossip.
And it was already last Christmas, more than half a year from now.
If there was anything between Su Pei and Li Yunsheng, he would have known it.
Just imagining Su Pei and Li Yunsheng together for a moment made him crazy.
When He Yiming arrived at the hotel where the celebration banquet was held, the joy had already begun. They contracted the entire private hotel clubhouse to hold this celebration dinner, and the garden was full of music.
After He Yiming arrived, Mr. Cao of Mimi Video immediately came up to chat with him. There is also a media photo area outside. Some reporters kept taking pictures.
He Yiming absent-mindedly chatted with President Cao, and asked the reporter to take pictures. He immediately went to the banquet hall.
He found Su Pei's figure in the crowd.
Su Pei is chatting with Li Yunsheng.
Li Yunsheng has been running around for publicity recently, and his face has become thinner, but he looks good only when he is thin at this age, and the lines on his face are clean and neat. When he saw Su Pei, he pulled him and asked him to dance on the dance floor.
Su Pei said loudly, "I don't want to dance."
It's been a long time since he hopped on the dance floor to the music.
Li Yunsheng didn't care, he just pulled him into the dance floor. Fortunately, everyone around was dancing wildly, no one cared about the dancing, just for fun.
Li Yunsheng said while waving his arms and jumping, "Mr. Su, many people like me now!"
Su Pei said, "Yes, there will be more in the future!"
He asked, "Then do you like me?"
Su Pei said, "I like you quite a bit, but..."
Li Yunsheng shook his head, "I see! You like me like a child."
It's not a love that means love.
Li Yunsheng was only unhappy for a second, but he soon became happy again and said, "Mr. Su, I have something I wanted to tell you for a long time. I only had one thought in my mind when I auditioned—Mr. Su was looking at me, I If you can't win this role, you will definitely be heartbroken and die!"
Su Pei stopped his random dance steps, hugged his arms, and said, "You will meet better people in the future—better scripts, better people. Nothing is worth your heartbreak."
People think that love will break hearts and talk about heartbreaks only before they turn into real adults.
Li Yunsheng also stopped, he just looked at Su Pei.
Su Pei knew that Li Yunsheng was saying goodbye to him.
Their silence was particularly conspicuous in the noisy dance floor.
He Yiming saw this scene, he only saw Su Pei and Li Yunsheng staring at each other on the dance floor under the lights.
