The Eye of the Storm

Chapter 119

The taste of the new year is getting stronger, and the streets and alleys begin to hang red lanterns.

Huang Ying also hung a lamp at the door of the "burning". She has always been punk style, but now she is suddenly very vulgar and elegant. Cao Ye said that it is not like her style.

Huang Ying looked at the lantern that was swaying slightly by the wind, and said with a smile: "It's the New Year, it's time to be more lively."

This time, Cao Ye brought Du Zhui to investigate the scene. Du Zhui said that the road to the underground boxing ring needed to make up a set of empty shots, so Cao Ye took him to "burn".

"It's good, let's go here." Du Zhui and the photographer came up from the spiral staircase, holding their mobile phones to make a call, "Let's shoot in the afternoon, the empty scene will be shot quickly, I'll call the crew over."

"Okay," Cao Ye said, "I'm going to the airport in the afternoon, Huang Ying, please check with Director Du."

"No problem," Huang Ying responded and asked Cao Ye again, "How long have you been going to Berlin?"

"At least a week." Cao Ye said, turned around and opened the door of the sports car, "Let's go."

The car started, and the sports car drove smoothly out of Yinsi. Huang Ying watched the dark blue shadow of the car disappear into the corner, and couldn't help thinking of a scene three years ago.

At that time, Lomon was founded and the bar had just been built. Cao Ye asked Huang Ying to help him watch the "burning".

Standing on the old site of Lanyan, Huang Ying looked at the narrow alley and asked worriedly, "Is this profitable?"

Cao Ye squatted against the wall: "I don't know either."

"How did you think of building a bar in this alley?" Huang Ying felt that this decision was not wise, and the bar would probably end at a loss soon.

"It doesn't matter if you make a profit or not," Cao Ye turned to look at Yin Si, his eyes falling far away at the end of the alley, "I just thought that something should be left on this street."

"The bar is built in such a secluded place," Du Zhui said after calling Huang Ying, "it's quite unique."

"Don't you know? Liang Sizhe experienced life in this alley before filming "Thirteen Days"." Huang Ying said with a smile.

"Really or not?" Du Zhui looked around the alley, "Huh, then this is a treasure land, what was this place like before?"

"Breakfast stalls, fruit stalls, barbecue stalls, noodle restaurants, small restaurants... everything is here," Huang Ying pointed to the bar behind her, "It used to be a very shabby karaoke hall, and upstairs was a guest house, when Liang Sizhe and Cao Ye both lived in in."

"Is that so..." Du Zui thought thoughtfully.

"Don't tell others." Huang Ying realized that she was talking too much and added.

"Don't tell me," Du Zhui laughed, "If this is spread out, this street will probably become a tourist attraction."

Liang Sizhe has participated in many film festivals, and his debut film "Thirteen Days" alone won the best actor in three film festivals.

In the past ten years of his acting career, he has won several trophies. In the eyes of the public, he has a high starting point and has been at the top all the way, but for Liang Sizhe, most of those trophies should be attributed to Cao Xiuyuan.

Cao Xiuyuan has absolute control over the crew. If a scene fails to meet his requirements, he will be retaken hundreds of times. Therefore, Liang Sizhe occasionally feels that he has no bottom when he is shooting other directors' films.

"The Sinking" is not a role that Liang Sizhe is very satisfied with, but it is the only one that has been shortlisted for international film festivals among all the roles he has left Cao Xiuyuan.

On the day of the awards ceremony, both of them wore suits and set off from the hotel.

After Liang Sizhe walked the red carpet, he went to the backstage to meet Cao Ye. Well-known actors from all over the world gathered in the backstage. Although Liang Sizhe won the Best Actor in Cannes, he was still a newcomer in the world. He only greeted a few actors with familiar faces, and was about to go to the auditorium with Cao Ye and sit down.

The stylist trotted over, holding a tie in his hand: "Si Zhe, don't leave in a hurry, let's change a tie."

Most actresses have to change to another dress to attend the awards ceremony after they dress up on the red carpet. Actors don't need to be so troublesome, but the stylist still feels that they need to make distinctions in the details.

There were many people around, and a reporter was interviewing a Korean actress with a microphone. Liang Sizhe walked over to one side: "Go out and change."

They walked to a relatively clean place outside where there was no camera, and stopped. Liang Sizhe squeezed the tie knot with his fingers and loosened the tie. The stylist stepped forward: "I'll come."

Cao Ye gave way to the side and looked at Liang Sizhe from the side.

This year's Berlin Film Festival is extremely competitive, especially in the Best Actor category. There is a Japanese actor in his 40s, Kawada, who is very vocal. Cao Ye knew that it was normal to win the award or not, but thinking about the domestic public opinion environment after that was still a little bad.

There were people standing around in twos and threes, all coming out to smoke. Cao Ye also took out the cigarette case, took one out of it, lit it, and took it one by one.

Perhaps because Liang Sizhe has been at his peak since he became famous, film critics and ordinary audiences are extremely strict with Liang Sizhe. It is enough to brag about being shortlisted for a category A film festival on other actors, but for Liang Sizhe, it seems that he has to win an award in order to not follow suit. Fall from the altar.

Cao Ye smoked a cigarette and looked at Liang Sizhe. Liang Sizhe wore a black tuxedo suit with straight legs wrapped under trousers, looking elegant and sharp, exuding a charming temperament.

The stylist is short, and Liang Sizhe needs to bow slightly to accommodate her height.

"Sizhe, have you grown taller again?" The stylist helped Liang Sizhe take off his tie and handed it to Song Qingyan next to him, "The document says you are 183, you should be more than that, right?"

Liang Sizhe smiled: "Guess."

"I can't guess." The stylist held the tie and tiptoed, and was about to raise his hand to wrap Liang Sizhe around the back of his neck when Cao Ye came over: "I'll come."

"Okay," the stylist handed him the tie, "I'm struggling."

Cao Ye took the tie and stood in front of Liang Sizhe: "Liared about your height, Liang Sizhe." He was 1.85 meters tall naked, and he thought that Liang Sizhe should be the same as him.

Liang Sizhe stood up straight, raised his index finger in front of his lips, and gave him a "shush".

With the cigarette between his fingertips, Cao Ye wrapped his tie around the back of Liang Sizhe's neck, taking care that the cigarette would not touch Liang Sizhe: "Is this a secret?"

"It's just that the information hasn't been updated for many years," Liang Sizhe smiled and drew a half-lit cigarette from Cao Ye's fingertips, "However, if no one else knows, can it be considered a secret."

He raised his lower jaw slightly so that Cao Ye could help him tie his tie. When he spoke, his Adam's apple vibrated with his vocal cords and rolled under the thin skin. It looked very sexy up close.

He squeezed the half of the cigarette and took a sip: "Didn't you mean to accompany me to quit smoking?"

"You have failed so many times to quit smoking, and you are not allowed to fail once?" Cao Ye said while helping Liang Sizhe tie a tie.

Liang Sizhe exhaled a cigarette, looked at Cao Ye through the white smoke, and said with a smile, "Aren't you nervous, Cao Ye?"

"It's not me competing." Cao Ye said stubbornly.

"Don't be nervous," Liang Sizhe said, "I guess I'll run with you this time."

Cao Ye tightened the knot of his tie a little: "You knew that you would accompany you to run?"

"I've seen Kawada-senpai's play, and he did a really good job." He looked at Cao Ye, lowered his voice, and asked in a volume that only the two of them could hear, "Cao Ye, if I can't win the best actor, you Will you be disappointed?"

He looked at Cao Ye standing in front of him. Cao Ye rarely wears suits, but now the black suit outlines Cao Ye's waist, making him look straight and slender. The breath of youth and maturity.

Liang Sizhe always felt that Cao Ye had not changed much, and always looked like a teenager, but Cao Ye, who was wearing a suit at this moment, made him realize that in the process of his rapid growth these years, Cao Ye did not grow slower than him.

After tying the tie, Cao Ye released his fingers: "If you can't take it this time, why not take it together next time?"

"Well, that's right." Liang Sizhe laughed again, "So, don't be nervous."

At the awards ceremony that night, Liang Sizhe did not win the award, and the best actor was awarded to Kawada, the Japanese actor who had been the most vocal before.

When the winners were announced, Cao Ye sat next to Liang Sizhe and watched a close-up shot of Liang Sizhe on the big screen. Liang Sizhe had a straight back, handsome and decent, even if he didn't win the best actor, he was still eye-catching.

That night, "Darkest Choice" won the Best Film Music Award, and Lian Ye took the stage to accept the award. After the award ceremony, Lian Ye went to the backstage to shake hands with Cao Ye, spread his five fingers with Liang Sizhe and said, "Just to make music for this movie, Cao Ye approached me five times," he held Cao Ye's hand and said, "I Thank you, it's really a tiger father without a dog."

"I should thank you." Cao Ye said quickly. Lian Ye was looking at Cao Xiuyuan's face when he took over the job at that time. Now that he has won the award, he still does not forget to mention Cao Xiuyuan. It seems that he is indeed a fan of Cao Xiuyuan for many years.

On the way back to the hotel that night, Cao Ye looked through the comments and found that the public opinion was not as harsh as he imagined.

The media sent a quick message saying that Liang Sizhe was reluctant to lose the battle for the best actor. Many netizens commented below that it is already great to be shortlisted in Berlin. Liang Sizhe is only 28 years old, and there is still a long way to go.

"The Darkest Choice" and "The Sinking" were both picked up by overseas film and television companies at the film festival, and will be released in dozens of countries next.

That night, the two crews got together and held a celebratory banquet in the hotel. Liang Sizhe and Cao Ye returned to the hotel without taking off their suits, and they quickly got entangled.

When I woke up the next morning, the suits and shirts of the two of them were thrown on the floor, and there were traces of madness everywhere.

It takes more than ten hours to fly from Berlin to Beijing. When they got off the plane, several people were very tired. They sat in the nanny's car and slept against the seat.

Liang Sizhe was wearing a hood and closed his eyes, and Song Qingyan suddenly turned around from the front seat and whispered to Liang Sizhe, "Brother Sizhe, it seems that something happened..."

"Huh?" Liang Sizhe opened his eyes and looked at her, "What's wrong?"

Song Qingyan handed him the phone: "Look at this."

Liang Sizhe took the phone and sat up straighter. He frowned when he saw the animation on the phone screen, and his sleepiness disappeared.

It was a set of moving pictures released by Xingbao on Weibo. On the screen, Cao Ye was helping Liang Sizhe tie with his back. The two were about the same height. Liang Sizhe was mostly covered by Cao Ye's back, but he could still reveal the small half of his face. It can be seen that his posture is relaxed and he is joking with Cao Ye.

Liang Sizhe's finger slid down, and someone in the comment area took a picture frame by frame, and marked the focus of the two people's hand movements in red, so that people could see at a glance that the half of the cigarette in Cao Ye's hand was wearing a tie. At the time, it was transferred to Liang Sizhe's hands, and Liang Sizhe continued to smoke very naturally.

This Weibo post has only been posted for half an hour, and has already received tens of thousands of retweets and comments.

- "Wow, who is this person? Helping to tie a tie and smoking a cigarette together, it seems that the relationship with Liangyingdi is not easy."

- "Two people are still talking and laughing, it's not easy."

— "What else can explain a tie as a stylist, and what else can explain smoking a cigarette at the same time?"

— "Smoking a cigarette together is an indirect kiss. I don't think straight men can do this."

- "No way? Is Liang Sizhe gay? Heartbroken, I don't want to believe that he has been in love with many actresses!"

- "Liang Sizhe is a double, right? There have always been such rumors, but his girlfriend never broke up, so everyone doesn't believe it."

Liang Sizhe glanced at Cao Ye, who was sleeping and didn't pay attention to his conversation with Song Qingyan.

Song Qingyan said in a low voice, "Sister Yunchu said that the popularity of this Weibo has risen too fast. When I found out, there were already a lot of comments and retweets. If I want to find someone to delete it now, I'm afraid it will cover it up..."

Liang Sizhe stared at the GIF for a while, Xu Yunchu was right, now everyone is guessing who the person opposite him is and the relationship between them with the help of a GIF. If you spend money to delete it immediately, it will be like It is true that the relationship between him and Cao Ye is not easy.

And now not only marketing accounts are spreading this set of GIFs, but more and more personal accounts are also spreading, and I am afraid that they will not be able to delete them.

Liang Sizhe has experienced many scandals, some of which are true, but more are false. But whether it's true or not, Liang Sizhe has never responded. He knows the best way to divert public attention. One is another hot event, and the other is time.

The best way for this kind of rumors to be based on speculation and guesswork is to wait for it to pass slowly and gradually be forgotten by everyone. A few years ago, the public guessed his sexual orientation by relying on a photo of Liang Sizhe covering his face for Cao Ye. Later, he had a same-sex scandal with He Xinze, but these things that were not confirmed were eventually forgotten by the public. It has become an occasional, unpredictable rumor.

It should be the same this time. Liang Sizhe returned the phone to Song Qingyan, raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows. Fortunately, Cao Ye was not photographed in front of him, so he should not be involved.

At the same time, the hot search for "Liang Sizhe's tie" is also rising.

Soon there will be a hot spot for marketing accounts, summarizing Liang Sizhe's same-sex rumors over the years, including mysterious same-sex friend, mentor Cao Xiuyuan, co-actor He Xinze, and industry screenwriter He Chen.

According to past experience, things are going in this direction without any risk. All the mixed rumors are mixed, and in the end it can only make things more and more deviated from the truth.

But no one thought that there would be a sequel to this matter.

A few hours later, the hot search for "Liang Sizhe's tie" has begun to cool down, but Star Broadcasting has sent out another video. The video has no picture, and the background sound is noisy, like a secret recording of a banquet occasion.

In the recording, there is a man scolding loudly - "You are good, you will go to Cao Xiuyuan to get the best actor, are you enjoying this actor, do you feel at ease? Do you know how to write the words ungrateful? ? Without Cao Ye, you fucking now... I'm fucking!"

The recording is broken here.
