Zheng Xin efficiently replaced Wen Lin with an assistant agent. This time, it was a young man named Tang Shao who had just entered the company to study with Zheng Xin. He was very enthusiastic about his work. He was entrusted by Zheng Xin, and he attached great importance to it.
Wen Lin went to see a psychiatrist for the first time, and Wen Jianing accompanied him. While Wen Lin was talking to the doctor alone, Wen Jianing and Tang Shao were waiting in the lounge outside.
Tang Shao was out of character and couldn't sit still. He quickly got up and told Wen Jianing that he would go out for a walk.
Wen Jianing nodded and stayed alone to wait.
This lounge was originally small, but because of the floor-to-ceiling glass mirror on the side, it looked as if the room was doubled in size.
Wen Jianing sat on the sofa, facing the large floor-to-ceiling glass mirror. In the mirror is a beautiful young man. Because of his occupation, he usually dresses in an extraordinarily decent and fashionable manner, with a pair of large black-rimmed glasses hanging on his face.
He was sitting casually, leaning back against the back of the sofa, his legs naturally spread apart, and his body leaning slightly with one arm leaning on the armrest of the sofa.
But he suddenly thought that if it was Ke Xinhang, it probably shouldn't be like this. He straightened his back, put his legs together, and put his hands on his knees, looking a little reserved. The black-rimmed glasses on his face were also removed, and the bangs covered his eyes slightly. Because he was not confident, he liked to block the sight of communicating with people.
He usually looks in the mirror often, but there are not many opportunities to look in the mirror in a small space like this. No one talked to him, no one distracted his thoughts, he opened his mouth and said to the person in the mirror: "Are you Ke Xinhang?"
The words came out loud in the closed room.
Wen Jianing suddenly came back to his senses, raised his hand and put the glasses back on. He was thinking about what he was saying just now, why did he say such a thing
He accompanied Wen Lin to see the doctor once, and then handed it over to Tang Shao, while they were going to prepare for the filming of the film.
The filming location of the film has already been shot by Lu Jinlang, in a secluded village in the north, while the other location is in a university. This should be the first shot of the film, but it will be shot at the end. .
In order to facilitate the shooting, the crew simply rented a small yard locally to store photographic equipment and costume props. The rest of the crew usually returns to the nearest five-star hotel in the city.
Wen Jianing has his own room, but most of the time he lives in Lu Jinlang's room.
The first scene of the location part was shot at night. Wen Jianing was about to turn over from the fence of a family's yard. Jian Jun was waiting for him outside and reached out to pick him up.
Because it was summer in the movie, Wen Jianing was wearing a cartoon T-shirt with a pair of knee-length shorts, and his legs were hanging on the wall.
Jian Jun stretched out his hand and told him to jump.
He shook his head.
Jian Jun smiled, "It's okay, you can dance." The smile was gentle and kind.
Wen Jianing looked at him, took a deep breath and jumped into Jian Jun's arms.
Jian Jun didn't stand still and was thrown to the ground by him. Wen Jianing raised his head from his shoulders, his cheeks brushed his profile, his skin was smooth and flexible. Jian Jun was still in a daze, but Wen Jianing had already stood up and stretched out his hand to pull him up.
Under the light, Wen Jianing was slightly panting, his lips were bright red, Jian Jun glanced at it and turned his eyes away.
He knew that he was not gay, he had never had any thoughts about men since he was a child, and had a girlfriend in college, although he broke up later. But he just couldn't help but feel strange to Wen Jianing. If he had to pursue this strange feeling, it was because Wen Jianing made him feel a vague sense of gender. This feeling was not because of Wen Jianing's speech and behavior. , but comes from the physical contact between two people, but there is a lot of physical contact in this play.
Jian Jun felt that he was distracted, but this distraction did not make him feel happy, because it affected his acting.
Until the lunch box the next day, Jian Jun was still a little absent-minded.
Wen Tinghuan didn't know what he was thinking, and said to him, "If there is any problem with acting, just ask Xinhang. He is your senior brother and should teach you."
Now that Wen Tinghuan and Jian Jun are familiar, and Jian Jun is an obedient child again, Wen Tinghuan slowly began to like him and really wanted to help him.
In fact, Jian Jun's head was a little messed up, and he couldn't figure out what he was thinking, but he went to Wen Jianing's room that night. He knocked on the door outside, but there was no movement in the room.
When he gave up and turned to leave, he saw the door of the next room opened, and Lu Jinlang and Wen Jianing came out one after the other.
Wen Jianing saw Jian Jun standing at his door, so he asked, "Is something wrong?"
Jian Jun was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Are you going out?"
Wen Jianing was putting on his coat, and it looked like the two were about to go out.
Lu Jinlang nodded, "A friend asked to go out to meet."
In this case, Jian Jun was too embarrassed to say anything else. He said to Wen Jianing, "It's nothing, let's talk about it tomorrow when we shoot."
Wen Jianing responded with a hello.
Seeing Jian Jun leaving, Lu Jinlang said to Wen Jianing, "Do you think he will go too deep into the play?"
Wen Jianing gave him a strange look, "Don't think, what can he get into the drama too deeply?"
Lu Jinlang smiled, "I just said it casually."
They went out so late. In fact, Lu Jinlang received an invitation from an old friend. That person was the director of the movie "The Showdown", whose name was Xie Ruoming.
If it weren't for Xie Ruoming's play, Wen Jianing wouldn't have won the Academy Award for Best Actor. For Xie Ruoming, he has always been very grateful. At that time, he came to the stage to accept the award, and Xie Ruoming was the first in the list of thanks.
Xie Ruoming has a good personal relationship with him and Lu Jinlang, but he and Lu Jinlang are not familiar with each other.
Wen Jianing still remembers having a late-night snack with Xie Ruoming occasionally at that time. Xie Ruoming would mention Lu Jinlang, saying that he and Lu Jinlang were both worthy people, and he thought they would become friends through this play.
But after all, it wasn't at that time. When I think about it now, it's probably still a bit of a competitive mentality at play. He has always been arguing with Lu Jinlang, and Lu Jinlang probably has this mentality in it, so the relationship between the two can be described as ordinary, not even ordinary friends.
If it wasn't for Wen Jianing becoming like this, and Lu Jinlang's status was vastly different, probably Lu Jinlang would never have any thoughts about him.
This evening, Lu Jinlang was the only person Xie Ruoming contacted.
Xie Ruoming, who was also in the city, heard that Lu Jinlang was filming here, so he called him to go out for a drink at a well-known local music bar. There used to be a resident singer in the bar and now she has become a first-line female singer in China, and the bar has become famous for a while. Many tourists from other places like to come to this bar to sit and have a drink.
And Wen Jianing was brought over by Lu Jinlang. Lu Jinlang has always been willing to support him in his career. He will definitely not let Wen Jianing miss this opportunity to meet and establish personal friendship with the big director.
Although Xie Ruoming himself is famous and famous in the circle, he is rarely photographed. If he was alone, he would definitely be sitting in the bar and watching the singer's performance, but considering Lu Jinlang's inconvenience today, he deliberately asked for a more secluded private room. The private room is not completely separated from the outside. Although it is partitioned, people who pass by cannot see the inside at a glance, but sitting in the private room, you can also hear the performance of the singers outside. If you choose an angle, you can still watch it. Get the stage direction.
Lu Jinlang and Wen Jianing went in one after the other, one wearing sunglasses and the other wearing a peaked cap, but no one recognized them.
Xie Ruoming first saw Lu Jinlang, stood up and shook hands with him, then smiled and invited him to sit down. Then Wen Jianing entered the private room.
"This is..." Xie Ruoming didn't recognize Wen Jianing at first.
But even if he can recognize it, he is not familiar with Wen Jianing, and maybe Ke Xinhang may not be able to pronounce the three words correctly. He spent most of these years in New Zealand with his wife and daughter. He didn't pay much attention to the domestic entertainment industry, nor was he interested in watching popular news online. The biggest hobbies are painting and traveling.
Therefore, he will not know the current relationship between Lu Jinlang and the young man in front of him.
Lu Jinlang took the initiative to introduce Xie Ruoming: "This is Ke Xinhang, the hero of the movie I am directing now."
Xie Ruoming hurriedly reached out and shook hands with Wen Jianing, and at the same time looked at Wen Jianing, and seemed a little surprised that Lu Jinlang would choose such a beautiful actor.
Sometimes directors choose actors who care more about their temperament than their looks. The reason why too beautiful actors are easy to be used as vases is that their appearance will somewhat distract the audience, not to mention their acting skills.
Wen Jianing was a little excited when he saw Xie Ruoming. He concealed it well, squeezed Xie Ruoming's hand, and said, "Director Xie, hello."
Xie Ruoming is a mild-mannered person. Although he initially defined today's meeting as a private meeting between him and Lu Jinlang, he did not understand the purpose of bringing an outsider, but since everyone had already arrived, Xie Ruoming also readily accepted and invited the two. People sat down and took the initiative to ask them what wine they were drinking.
Lu Jinlang glanced at the drink list and said to Wen Jianing, "You better stop drinking, and you didn't eat much for dinner."
Wen Jianing nodded and ordered a non-alcoholic drink.
Xie Ruoming looked at the two of them and understood a little in his heart. In the past, Lu Jinlang never deliberately concealed his sexual orientation in front of Xie Ruoming, but only brought someone to appear in front of him. This was the first time.
The bar environment was not noisy, but soon singers began to sing, singing soft English songs. The light is also soft and warm, with a golden halo. This environment is very suitable for chatting. Obviously, Xie Ruoming invited Lu Jinlang out to chat. Two old friends meet by chance in a different place.
Wen Jianing didn't speak much. If it was before, he would have said a lot to Xie Ruoming, but this situation is obviously not suitable, and Xie Ruoming may not have something to say to him.
At the beginning, the two people chatted the most was the movie that Lu Jinlang was shooting now.
Xie Ruoming was very curious about why Lu Jinlang became interested in making movies.
Lu Jinlang said: "If you act too much, you can't help but want to make a work by yourself, without being influenced by others, it is a complete expression of the work in your head."
Xie Ruoming raised his glass with a smile, "This is the desire to create."
Lu Jinlang touched him with a glass of wine.
Xie Ruoming looked at Wen Jianing again and asked Lu Jinlang, "The male protagonist you personally selected?"
Lu Jinlang nodded, "This year's Best Newcomer at the Academy Awards."
"Oh!" Xie Ruoming suddenly recalled, "It turned out to be you, I said where I saw you, but I didn't remember it for a while."
Xie Ruoming is still paying attention to the large-scale awards such as the Academy Awards, but he has not watched the "Dream of Spring" directed by Cao Songquan, so he has not left a deep impression on Wen Jianing.
Now that Lu Jinlang took the initiative to mention it, he also recalled it.
Xie Ruoming changed his opinion on Wen Jianing in an instant. At first, he thought that the young man in front of him was just a newcomer that Lu Jinlang deliberately chose for the movie. He even had some doubts when he found out that the relationship between the two was delicate, but now he heard about the other party. Being the best newcomer at the Academy Awards, he immediately began to believe in Lu Jinlang's choice. Because the professional judges of the Golden Image Awards will not award such a golden statuette to an actor with only a good-looking face, he must have his own advantages.
At this time, Xie Ruoming even thought that he could go look for the film "Meng Chunguang".
He chatted with Wen Jianing a few words, and the atmosphere became more harmonious and natural.
After chatting for about half an hour, Xie Ruoming mentioned a name while drinking the wine in the glass in front of him: "Wen Jianing is such a pity."
Xie Ruoming went back to New Zealand after the filming of "The Showdown" that year, and there have been no new works in these years.
Wen Jianing died unexpectedly. Although he was nominated, he missed the award ceremony because his wife was sick and hospitalized. Until Wen Jianing was buried, he had no chance to come back.
It was the first time he sat down with Lu Jinlang to talk to Wen Jianing after that.
Lu Jinlang's response to this was as flat as ever, but the person he was talking about looked at the glass in front of him, a little stunned.
People like to say "It's a pity for Wen Jianing", but in fact, without Wen Jianing, the world will still turn around, and batches of newcomers will emerge in the entertainment industry. From the mourning activities specially prepared for him in the second year, maybe the next time will not be remembered until the tenth anniversary of Wen Jianing's death. Is the next time the fiftieth anniversary? No, probably not many people will recognize him in fifty years.
When Xie Ruoming and Lu Jinlang talked about Wen Jianing, Lu Jinlang always said that Wen Jianing was a good actor, but that was all. Xie Ruoming tried to let them know each other better, but it was unsuccessful. Now, Wen Jianing is gone, and Xie Ruoming mentions it again, and the rest is just sigh.
However, when Xie Ruoming mentioned the name Wen Jianing, Lu Jinlang turned his head and glanced at the person beside him. Seeing that he pressed the edge of the wine glass with his fingers, he seemed a little stunned.
Xie Ruoming has not been able to find anyone to say these words for many years. Now that he sees Lu Jinlang, he can't help but say: "At that time, he was very serious and liked to act. If he was still alive, it would probably be more than that. Achievement."
How much more can be achieved? If Wen Jianing hadn't died, "October Fireworks" would have been his play, and he might not have the chance to win another Academy Award. The international award that Lu Jinlang won might be his.
No one knows whether Lu Jinlang is willing to admit it, but now he just gave a soft "um", "He should have a better development."
Xie Ruoming has been feeling emotional.
Wen Jianing sat on the side and listened silently, his fingers rubbing against the edge of the cup. He wanted to hear more from Xie Ruoming, because he didn't recall the past for too long, and slowly began to forget.
Suddenly, Lu Jinlang reached out and held his hand, and changed the subject at a clever moment, asking Xie Ruoming, "What's your plan next?"
Now that Xie Ruoming has returned to China, most of them have new ideas. He has rested for so long, and it is time to plan a new play.
Hearing Lu Jinlang's question, Xie Ruoming smiled and asked him, "What? Do you have a schedule?"
Lu Jinlang is very picky about his acting now, even if it suits him in every aspect, as long as he says he wants to rest, no one can force him to come out to film, but he is still somewhat interested in Xie Ruoming's films.
"My filming is over and there is still a long post-production process," Lu Jinlang explained, without refusing.
Xie Ruoming waved his hand, "No hurry, the preparatory work is still very long, I just have a preliminary idea, and I haven't found a suitable person to write the script."
Lu Jinlang picked up the glass and touched him, "Remember to notify me when the time comes."
Xie Ruoming said, "Definitely."
Wen Jianing knew that Lu Jinlang had exposed the topic of Xie Ruoming just now, and Xie Ruoming himself could not continue to talk to Lu Jinlang about Wen Jianing endlessly, and his mood was obviously depressed for a moment.
Lu Jinlang, who was holding his hand, may have sensed it.
After chatting with Xie Ruoming all night, Lu Jinlang saw that the time was about the same, so he and Wen Jianing said goodbye together. They still have a shooting task tomorrow morning.
When he came out, it was Lu Jinlang's car, and he didn't ask Lu Yunan to come with him. When he went back, he was driven by Wen Jianing, who didn't drink alcohol.
Wen Jianing seemed a little dull on the road.
Lu Jinlang stretched out his hand, stroked his head gently, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Wen Jianing seemed a little inexplicable, looked at him and said, "It's nothing."
Lu Jinlang drank some wine and was a little excited, and said to him, "Did you feel uncomfortable when you heard Director Xie mention Wen Jianing today."
"Why should I be uncomfortable?" Wen Jianing asked him.
Lu Jinlang said, "Because you used to admire him so much, will you feel bad now?"
Wen Jianing shook his head, "No, I didn't. What about you, what do you think of him?"
Lu Jinlang was silent for a while, and said to Wen Jianing, "You asked me this question in the past."
Wen Jianing said softly, "Really? When?"
Lu Jinlang inserted his fingers into his hair, letting the strands of hair slip out between his fingers, and said, "More than once, why did you mention him again and again?"
Wen Jianing said: "Because I don't want to forget him."
"Xinhang," Lu Jinlang called his name, he was always gentle, but he had to rule out the influence of alcohol, he said, "I don't think Wen Jianing is an obstacle between us now. already."
Wen Jianing obviously didn't drink, but at that moment, he had a kind of alcohol rushed to his head, those words made him have to say the urge, he said: "You are wrong, he will always be there, forever."
Lu Jinlang withdrew his hand.
Wen Jianing parked the car on the side of the road, and he said to Lu Jinlang, "Because I am Wen Jianing."
