Xia Xiqing never expected that Zhou Ziheng would return the painting to him on the day of his 26th birthday. Looking at his name on the nameplate of the picture frame, his eyes were slightly astringent. This painting has disappeared for many years. He almost has a mentality of escape, not looking for it, not thinking about it, as if as long as it doesn't exist, he never cared about the so-called family relationship, and he never got hurt.
But evasion is evasion after all. He can't deny that there are too many complex and unspeakable emotions in this painting, and this emotion contains love. Zhou Ziheng understands this, so he will help him find it and repair his broken heart.
Zhou Ziheng is always able to find his weakness with incomparable precision, and then use his warm palm to protect it, regardless of whether he wants it or not, as always with his idealistic contribution. But he had to admit that he hit the red heart every time.
Seeing the activity began to proceed in an orderly manner, Xia Xiqing's originally nervous heart also relaxed a lot. There were also many literary and art media in the guest who reported on the event, and Xia Xiqing also accepted an interview accordingly.
"How did you get on the road of artistic creation?"
This question is not well asked. Xia Xiqing smiled at the female reporter who asked the question.
"So you mean, your family is also in this profession?"
"I think the activities of this art museum have little to do with my family." Xia Xiqing began to doubt the purpose of this female reporter. He tried to get out of it, but found that he was surrounded by another part of the media.
"How did you get into the crew of "Tracking"?"
"There are rumors that you are bringing capital into the team. Can you explain the relationship between the investors of the "Following" crew and you?"
It turned out to be for the movie. Xia Xi should have thought early in the morning that the huge response after the release of this trailer would make some people jealous. Although Xia Xiqing is not a member of the entertainment industry, he is already very familiar with the routines of this circle after being splashed with dirty water so many times.
Under the prompt response of the assistant, the security personnel came to control the field.
"Excuse me, please leave the exhibition hall."
"We are the invited media, how can you expel us casually?"
With a smile on Xia Xiqing's face, he pressed the arms of the security personnel around him, "It's okay." He smirked professionally at these reporters, "As long as you don't ask about anything unrelated to this event, of course you won't be expelled. Anyway, we also have a video record here. If there is a discrepancy between your report and the situation at the scene, we will of course be held accountable according to the law." After saying that, he added, like a joke, "How much I am a person who can compare. I believe everyone is very clear."
Seeing the expressions on the reporters' faces began to feel embarrassed, Xia Xiqing smiled innocently, "Don't you want to interview? Let's talk about the dark colors of El Greco first? Or the flowing light in William Turner's pen?"
After dismissing the headless flies of entertainment reporters, Xia Xiqing went to the second floor and poured a glass of champagne. After calming down, he felt that the matter was not that simple. Just now, those Yuji kept talking about the investment in Tracking. Could it be that the competitor sees that the investor has not made it public, so he deliberately took advantage of the vacancy and entered the group with his own capital
He wanted to bring the capital directly into the team, but he didn't give this opportunity.
I tried to dial Jiang Yin's phone. While the line was busy, Xia Xiqing thought about it. He originally wanted to call Zhou Ziheng's phone but finally gave up. He said that he was shooting a perfume advertisement, but it shouldn't be over yet.
In order to understand the situation, Xia Xiqing took a look on the Internet. For the time being, there are no hot searches related to "Tracking" investment on the hot search list, but clicking on the "Tracking" hot search, there are already some marketing accounts that have begun to pick investors. Previously, Zhou Zijing made his investment in the name of a media subsidiary he acquired and signed a confidentiality agreement, so netizens could not see the disclosure of this part of the investment.
Several marketing accounts posted similar comments on Weibo. One wave said that this kind of semi-anonymous investment was tricky, and the other wave pointed the finger at Xia Xiqing himself.
[@吃瓜校园1号: How come there are melons in Xia Xiqing? Xia Xi is really a "treasure boy". ]
[@为你待333: I think this kind of thing is all about bringing money into the group. Xia Xiqing, a painter, can now come to act. It's ironic that those actors who came from a major but didn't have any acting. ]
Such remarks are everywhere, and the rhythmic purpose cannot be more obvious. But to Xia Xiqing’s surprise, this time the film crew’s response was astonishingly fast. He refreshed the homepage and got a clarification from the film’s official Weibo.
[@电影追官方微博: Recently online speculations about the investment in "Tracking" are all untruth. The following is the investment agreement. We will investigate the rumors. ]
The important parts of this investment agreement have been coded, but the amount of 85 million and the full name of the investor Fang Xingye Media are retained. In addition to this one, it also contains the investment agreement of the director and producer Jiang Yin.
The public investor is to stop those rumors claiming "black water investment", but to be honest, it does not prove Xia Xiqing's innocence. He knew in his heart that these marketing accounts could completely associate their names with any of these investors. Whether it is Xing Ye, who is the majority, and Zhou Zijing behind him, the director, or even Jiang Yin, can become His gold master. This is the trickiest thing.
Jiang Yin's phone call came in suddenly, and Xia Xiqing quickly answered it. The other party sounded calm, but he seemed to be looking for a way.
"Xi Qing, you should have been harassed by reporters."
"Yeah. A batch came just now and I was driven away. Did you find out who stabbed the knife in the back?"
Jiang Yin's words were inspiring, "After tracking the postponement of the release, I collided with a big investment film. The other party is also a dual male lead, but the topic cannot keep up. So I wanted to ruin the reputation before the release, so that everyone would not Go and see."
Just know. Xia Xiqing took the cellphone and stood in front of a window in the corner of the second floor, meditating.
There is no way, although Xia Xiqing has never wanted to do this.
"Otherwise, Sister Yin, you should still have some marketing accounts under your hand? Pretending to pick up my background, I will not be able to pick up the information when I give you the information." Xia Xiqing's tone was completely indifferent. , "Just spread it out for everyone to see and see who can support me."
A birthday is celebrated at the end of the year, and he has to blew up his family for the sake of the movie. The stalk of the self-destructed player can't be taken off for a lifetime.
Three hours later, a video was madly reposted on the Internet. It was the funeral of the domestic sculpture master Xi Hewei, and the one who stood in the front and carried the coffin for Mr. Xi was the traffic painter Xia Xiqing who was on the cusp of every day.
[@八瓜来vising: Some netizens picked up the funeral of the sculpture master Xi, isn't this little brother carrying the coffin Xia Xiqing? In addition, some people found the shares held by Media Asia International (true or false to be verified) on the Internet. Media Asia’s boss is Xia Yunkai. If you think about Xia Xiqing’s name again, I don’t dare to write such novels like this. Bar… ]
[@我I like the person is a little painter: my ID name should be changed [kneel down] Happy birthday Xi Qing! ]
[@路过的小仙女: So Xia Xiqing is the son of Huan Yatai? His mother's family is still the descendant of art masters, so why doesn't he like women! ]
[@12345上山打虎:... I said before that all the people who keep it are no brains. Media Asia, it's too late to ask for support. ]
[@SSS Warning: I now suspect that Xia Xiqing really brought capital into the group hahaha, bring your own capital. ]
[@My Son is the cutest: No, Media Asia did not invest in this movie. The biggest investor is Xing Ye. You can find out who bought Xing Ye the year before and will come back to thank me. ]
[@推的是你的高塔Reply @My son is the cutest: Fuck, I just checked it out, it’s Jingming! Isn't Jingming's major shareholder his brother? It’s not the male second, but the male first. ]
[@我少年最爱了了 Reply @推的是你的高塔: You can't say that the male one, his background is not something you can talk about, close the wheat and close the wheat. ]
[@自习Girl cute: Happy birthday Xi Qing! What kind of fairy CP is right? ? [Ps faintly smelled of self-destruction...]
[@夏习清1221 Happy Birthday: Wait for me who blew up! Xi Qing: If you spread the rumors again, I will explode! ]
Now the direction of eating melons for the whole people has turned into Xia Xiqing's wealth. Various jokes are flying all over the sky, and even a lot of unreliable sisters began to shout about Xia Xiqing's husband on Weibo, almost occupying his Weibo, making Xia Xiqing dumbfounded.
When it was refreshed again, Xia Xiqing saw a Weibo by Zhou Ziheng.
[@Actor Zhou Ziheng: For you.]
This Weibo has two pictures, each holding a bottle of perfume. The bottle body is very simple prismatic design. The perfume liquid in the first bottle is deep black, mixed with a little blue quicksand, which makes people think of the vast universe and the shimmering but tiny stardust at first glance.
The liquid in the other bottle is transparent and also contains quicksand, but it is rich in deep red. The design of the bottle is very special. The quicksand is fixed in the center of the bottle, and a small immortal red rose is hidden inside.
Xia Xiqing almost immediately recognized that the hand holding the perfume bottle was Zhou Ziheng. Not only was he familiar with him, but also the small rose tattoo on the inner side of the ring finger that appeared behind the translucent bottle.
In the forwarding is the official blog of the high-end luxury brand of this cooperation.
[These two fragrances will be sold globally as our Christmas limited editions. @Actor周自heng participated in the fragrance and concept design throughout the process. The main note of rose mixed with pink pepper, supplemented by the pure desire of white musk, presents the ultimate romance of stars and roses. The name of the perfume will be announced at 23:59 tonight. ]
This wave of propaganda is really hard work.
When I was complaining about the advertising ambassador, I received the other party's WeChat.
[Renaissance: Is it over? I am waiting for you at your house. ]
For the so-called birthday surprise, Xia Xiqing actually didn't expect much, because the previous painting was significant enough for him. But seeing Zhou Ziheng's news, he still involuntarily developed a desire. I want to go back soon, I want to see him, I want to celebrate with him the day I was born.
There is nothing to celebrate when he came to this world. What is worth celebrating is that he was fortunate to have come to this world and didn't miss Zhou Ziheng.
When leaving the art museum, many fans saw him leaving, and finally couldn't help but whispered his name. Xia Xiqing walked out while tidying up his coat, smiling and saying goodbye to them.
"Happy birthday Xi Qing."
"Happy birthday!" one of the girls asked with a flower in her hand, "Brother Xi Qing, why are you buying pink roses?"
Xia Xiqing turned to face them, took two steps backwards, smiling gently, "Pink roses are the best jewelry for girls."
From the elevator of the apartment, Xia Xiqing walked straight to his door. But the moment he opened the door, he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, it was pitch black inside, and there was no light left.
This is not like Zhou Ziheng's style. If he was at home, he would definitely leave himself a doorway lamp, or simply keep every lamp on.
Is it possible that it hasn't returned yet
Although he has dared to recall the past now, his fear of darkness has almost become a physiological reaction. Xia Xiqing stretched out his hand, fumbled for the switch on the living room light at the door, and pressed it with a snap.
Surprisingly, the touch of this switch is not the same as before...
Xia Xiqing was so stunned that it was too late to check it carefully, or even to discover that the light in the living room was not turned on at all.
The icy darkness in the empty living room was suddenly rubbed into countless tiny dazzling stardust, floating in the vast universe. It was so quiet at this moment, as quiet as a vacuum, but he could hear his heartbeat again, beating at an ever-increasing frequency, reaching his eardrums, like a lonely radio frequency in the quiet universe.
Taking a step closer, Xia Xiqing tried to call out his name, like a teleportation light years away.
"Self-Heng?"
At the moment of opening, an extremely bright spot of light suddenly burst out in the center of the silent star sea, which seemed to indicate the arrival of a young star. The illusory stellar wind in the darkness twisted and compressed everything, and the beautiful light floating in the field of vision A little oblivion and rebirth, gradually gathered into a cluster of red nebula, slowly unfolding.
Like a blooming rose.
He couldn't describe everything in front of him. This great shock seemed to come from the insignificant human beings' primitive awe and longing for the boundless starry sky.
Zhou Ziheng finally appeared at the other end of the Rose Nebula, with a gentle and quiet smile on his face and a small controller in his hand.
"Someone once asked me that there are so many beautiful things in this world. If you were asked to choose one to give to the most precious person, what would you choose?" He showed a slightly embarrassed look, "Before meeting you, I I feel that the most macroscopic beauty in the world is the universe. In essence, we are no different from these stardusts. We are all children of stars and children of the universe."
He lowered his head and smiled, "But after meeting you, I found that a rose stained with soil is also beautiful. The beauty of the microcosm is also shocking."
His gentle gaze traveled through the entire nebula and reached Xia Xiqing's star-filled eyes.
"When I finally waited for this day, I started to struggle, because I wanted to give it to you whether it was the universe or the rose. So," he stretched out his hand, "please allow me to introduce you to the NGC 2237 nebula. Or We can call her, Rose Nebula." Zhou Ziheng stepped past the stardust, walked through the magnificent star cluster, and walked in front of Xia Xiqing, hugging him.
"It took me half a month to photograph it." Zhou Ziheng took out a photo and placed it in Xia Xiqing's hand. "Then I asked Zhixu to build a model together and make a hologram. Then I have what you see now. "He smiled and kissed Xia Xiqing's forehead, his voice softer than the universe.
"Happy birthday. Thank you for coming to me."
Xia Xiqing finally understood why Zhou Ziheng was hiding on the rooftop with a lot of astrophotography equipment. But what he didn't expect was that he could actually restore the nebula billions of light years away in front of him, so that he could feel all this solemn and romantic with his own eyes.
He also finally understood what the two perfumes designed by Zhou Ziheng himself represented. The combination of black quicksand and eternal rose is everything in front of me.
He held the photo and looked up at Zhou Ziheng, behind which was a magnificent dark red nebula.
I want to talk, I want to express, but the signals he can send have been looted, rubbing into another heartbeat just a short distance away.
The most beautiful rose in the world, stardust is mud, nourished by the Milky Way. It will never wither, and will always flourish in the quiet universe.
"This is what I want to give you, a cosmic romance."
