After that, Cao Ye went back to Lomon again. At the end of the 11th holiday, various departments of the company began to carry out their respective duties and were busy promoting the project. Cao Ye had been a playboy for a week, and was urged back by several calls.

On the morning of leaving Shanghai, Cao Ye woke up and went to the bathroom to take a shower. When he came out, he saw Liang Sizhe standing in front of the sink, drying his hair with a hairdryer. Cao Ye, still sleepy, stood behind Liang Sizhe and leaned wetly on his shoulder: "Blow me by the way."

The two were close in height, and it was easy to blow it. Liang Sizhe moved his hand holding the hair dryer back.

The hair dryer made a buzzing noise, and Liang Sizhe's slightly long hair brushed against Cao Ye's face, making Cao Ye feel a little itchy. He raised his hand and grabbed a lock of hair, raised his head eagerly, "Liang Sizhe, let me tie your hair for you."

He gathered Liang Sizhe's shoulder-length hair with his fingers, held it, and wrapped the hair rope between his fingers.

He was a complete novice, clumsy and stretched, and he repeated three times, barely tying his hair with a hair rope, so that he could appreciate his work.

The tie was crooked, and there was a lock on the side of the neck.

The two looked at each other in the mirror.

Liang Sizhe turned his face and asked him, "Is it still possible?"

"My boyfriend is naturally beautiful," Cao Ye said, wrapping the hair rope and returning it to him, "It looks good no matter what."

Liang Sizhe was amused by him, took the hair rope, and did not expose him clearly.

Cao Ye's return to Lomon this time was far less easy than last time, and the company had piled up a lot of things for him to deal with. He met many people before and after, in addition to Xu Anqiao, Zeng Ran, Ding Mao, and also met several cartoon directors with Chi Mingyao.

In addition to several film and television projects that are being promoted, Lomon's next focus is on the expansion of the theater line. He has to travel to several cities to inspect the distribution of local theaters.

In mid-October, Cao Ye is going to S City on a business trip.

The driver took him to the Capital Airport. He got out of the car and walked into the lobby, and went straight to the counter to check in.

There was only one person standing in front of the VIP counter, and Cao Ye recognized Zheng Yin from his back at a glance.

He hesitated whether to wait for Zheng Yin to leave before going there, but after Zheng Yin completed the check-in procedure, he turned around at this moment, and saw Cao Ye standing a few steps away.

Cao Ye couldn't remember for a while that he hadn't seen Zheng Yin for a few years. In the first few years, he deliberately avoided Zheng Yin. Later, Zheng Yin and Cao Xiuyuan went abroad to develop together, and they never met again.

Zheng Yin didn't look old, but he still looked like a few years ago, wearing a well-cut long trench coat, dragging a silver-gray suitcase, and still the personable and gentle temperament.

The teenage Cao Ye could run away, but the 20-year-old Cao Ye could only be pinned to the spot, watching Zheng Yin approaching step by step, stopped in front of him and said, "It's such a coincidence, Xiao Ye, I didn't expect it. I'll see you here."

Cao Ye tried his best to look mature and calm, and pulled out a smile: "Yes, are you here alone?"

He didn't ask clearly, but Zheng Yin was so smart, he immediately heard that what he was asking was Cao Xiuyuan: "Your dad is still preparing for the movie, I'll go to the field to investigate first."

Cao Ye breathed a sigh of relief, he really didn't want to see Cao Xiuyuan.

Zheng Yin waited for Cao Ye to complete the check-in procedures, and then walked through the VIP channel with him to go through the security check.

No one mentioned what happened back then, so Zheng Yin naturally asked him where he was going this time.

Cao Ye said to go to S City, Zheng Yin said with a smile that he also went to S City ten years ago, and turned to look at him again: "Guess what we did in S City back then?"

Ten years ago, in S City, a long-term city name flashed in Cao Ye's mind. He looked at Zheng Yin and said, "Are you going to Yancheng?"

"Yeah," Zheng Yin smiled and recalled, "I was in a nearby city with my dad, and I heard people talk about Yancheng's Music Attached Middle School. Your dad said at the time that he was going to have a look, but the next day he Bring Si Zhe back to Beijing."

He was really good at talking. Instead of starting with Cao Xiuyuan, he talked about Liang Sizhe. Cao Ye was really interested in this topic, and then he asked, "What was he like when you first met Liang Sizhe?"

"He said he had a fight with the dog downstairs," Zheng Yin said with a fresh memory, "he also has a violin at home, which was broken by him, and the neck was broken. It doesn't look very easy to mess with. Yes, in short... It's not like someone who can win the best actor in the future."

Cao Ye thought about the broken violin, and Zheng Yin next to him sighed: "In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed."

They walked together for more than ten minutes, talking about movies and Liang Sizhe.

Cao Ye could feel that Zheng Yin was deliberately leading to topics of interest to him, and they were quite speculative in their conversation, but after a ten-year gap and stranded estrangement, they could not return to the relationship between father and son back then. .

When he was parting, Zheng Yin said that we should go out for a meal next time. Cao Ye answered "Okay" without hesitation, knowing that if Zheng Yin asked him out again next time, he would still find an excuse to turn it down.

The next day, I met with the local publisher, and Cao Ye went to Yancheng by himself.

He has been to many places over the years, and he always feels that the whole world is almost the same, but probably because it is related to Liang Sizhe, he also thinks that this city is special.

He called a car to the Music Affiliated Middle School. The driver was talkative. He heard that he came from out of town and recommended local attractions to him with great enthusiasm. Cao Ye didn't have much time. Be sure to come and take a stroll.

When he arrived at the Music Affiliated High School, it was just in time for the end of school in the evening. A long way away, Cao Ye saw sixteen or seventeen-year-olds wearing wide school uniforms, carrying various musical instrument boxes on their backs, swarming to the school gate.

He glanced at it from a distance, afraid of catching up with the peak of the traffic jam, so he asked the driver to return to the original road.

On the way back, the driver took the initiative to talk about Liang Sizhe: "You don't know? There was a big star in this school."

"Who is it?" Cao Ye asked knowingly as he replied to the email.

"Liang Sizhe!"

"Oh," Cao Ye pretended to be calm, "I heard about it."

Seeing that he was calm, the driver threw out a new gossip: "My friend's relative lives in the same community with Liang Sizhe."

Cao Ye raised his head as expected: "Which neighborhood is it?"

"That can't be said."

"You fooled me." Cao Ye smiled. "To tell you the truth, I came here to see Liang Sizhe's alma mater. I am his fan."

"Yo." The driver looked at him from the rearview mirror, slightly surprised, "Looking at your appearance, I thought it was a star."

He was naturally likable, and after a few chats, the driver turned the car around and sent him to Liang Sizhe's community.

The community is a few years old, and the mosaics on the walls have fallen off a bit, making it look slightly mottled.

There was no elevator, so Cao Ye stepped up the stairs. The driver didn't know the specific house number, but only said that in Building No. 7, Cao Ye was not walking fast and stepped up step by step. Suddenly, he felt that this scene seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember where it happened.

He went up to the sixth floor, leaned on the window sill in the corridor, looked down for a while, and then walked down.

On the way to the airport, I remembered that the familiar scene happened in "Thirteen Days".

When Xiaoman followed Peng Yan, he went up the stairs like this. Every time he passed a door, he would stop for a while.

It turns out that when you love someone, you feel the same way.

Flying to Shanghai in the evening to see Liang Sizhe, Cao Ye mentioned this, Liang Sizhe said with some humor that it was not the community where his family lived.

Cao Ye couldn't believe that he would be deceived: "The driver looks very sincere, but he lied to me?!"

"Maybe I heard about it. I know the neighborhood you went to," Liang Sizhe said with a smile. "It's also very close to my old house. How did you think of going to Yancheng?"

"I saw Uncle Yin." Cao Ye said, "He said that ten years ago, he and Cao Xiuyuan brought you to Beijing from Yancheng."

"Oh, you said that time," Liang Sizhe recalled, "I was no longer in the old house at that time. Teacher Cao and the others went to find me in the new house. I haven't gone back for many years, and the house may have been covered in cobwebs. If you want to go, I'll take you there next time."

Cao Ye thought about the broken violin mentioned by Zheng Yin, and had a vague idea in his heart. He asked Liang Sizhe: "Next time I pass by Yancheng, can I go over and have a look?"

"Okay," Liang Sizhe said with a smile, "that's your home too, you can go if you want."

Turning off the light before going to bed, Liang Sizhe asked in the dark, "Cao Ye, do you want to know what the relationship between your father and Uncle Yin is?"

Cao Ye was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Cooperative relationship and long-term friend."

"You guessed it?"

"Well, sometimes I can't help but think about it."

Liang Sizhe raised his hand and touched Cao Ye's hair.

After a long while, Cao Ye sighed and said, "If Uncle Yin didn't have this relationship with my dad, I should have a good relationship with him... But not necessarily, maybe without this relationship, he wouldn't be so good to me. "

"Don't be so arrogant, Cao Ye," Liang Sizhe said, "I think Uncle Yin treats you well, and it shouldn't be entirely because of your father."

"Maybe." Cao Ye said. Seeing Zheng Yin, he was a little soft-hearted again, and he remembered all the details of his relationship with Zheng Yin ten years ago, so he felt more and more a pity.

"Try One More Word" was completed in late November, and everyone else's scenes ended early. Only Liang Sizhe and Xiaomeng were left in the cast.

Xiaomeng knew that he was seriously ill and needed Appeng to spend a lot of money to treat himself. He took advantage of Appeng's boxing time to sneak out of the hospital, not wanting to drag Appeng any more.

Appeng called the police and found the dirty Xiaomeng, but because of this, the police discovered his identity as a fugitive for many years. Ten years ago, Appeng's girlfriend was raped, and he accidentally killed someone. When he wanted to surrender, his girlfriend chose to swallow it up and hide the fact of the rape under the dissuasion of his family, so Appeng could only be a fugitive, and he has been incognito for all these years. , being a desperado in an underground boxing ring.

On the night of the finale, the main team of the crew held a hasty finale banquet. Nominally it was a banquet, but it was actually a dinner together in the restaurant of the hotel.

The crew went up and down for nearly four months, leaving early and returning late. As an actor, Liang Sizhe still had time off work. The rest of the crew could only sleep for four or five hours a day, and they were all exhausted.

The assistant director poured his wine and said, "We're so tired after four months of filming. Like Director Cao Xiuyuan, one filming takes a year or two. How can we endure it?"

"I heard that Director Cao's useless shots can account for three-quarters of the total," the photographer next to him asked, "Si Zhe, is it true or false?"

"Really," Liang Sizhe said, "but it can't be considered a waste scene. He cuts several versions of each film, and the final version is the one he thinks is the best."

"No wonder he's a genius," Du Zhui said, "I can't compare."

Liang Sizhe and Cao Ye had to catch the evening flight and left the banquet ahead of time.

The main creator of the crew walked out of the hotel to see them off. The driver moved a few suitcases to the nanny's car. Du Chai came over and shook hands with Liang Sizhe and Cao Ye, saying that he hoped to have the opportunity to work together again.

Cao Ye would drink too much every time he was at the final dinner. This time, he was worried about getting on the plane at night. He didn't refuse as usual, but he almost took a sip of the wine that came to him. So now he feels that he has exceeded the category of being slightly drunk, and he is starting to get a little over the top.

He was a little dizzy, raised his hand around Liang Sizhe's back, put his shoulders on him, and shook hands with the rest of the crew to say goodbye.

When Cao Ye shook hands with the lighting engineer, Liang Sizhe turned his face and glanced across the road.

He sensitively captured the flashing lights on the other side of the road, mixed with the on and off lights. He turned slightly to block Cao Ye.

"Is there a paparazzi filming?" Du Zhui followed his gaze and asked in a low voice.

Liang Sizhe turned his head and said "um". Immediately, Cao Ye put his hand away and stood up straighter.

After saying goodbye, they got into the car. The car merged into the main road. Cao Ye looked back and said, "It's okay, right?"

"It should be fine," Liang Sizhe said, "there will always be paparazzi filming when the crew is finished."
