Every time Liang Sizhe is on a hot search, these old stories about Chen Guzi's rotten pockmarks will be turned up and hotly discussed. People who don't like him wish they could spread these black materials to the world, but no matter how much they add fuel to it, they can't shake Liang Sizhe. With his current status, there is no way to change the reality that Liang Sizhe is sought after by audiences and capital.
Even Cao Ye's uncle Cao Xiuyan couldn't sit still after learning that "The Darkest Choice" really brought Liang Sizhe to make up for it.
On the fourth day after the official announcement of the supplementary shooting news, Cao Ye unexpectedly received a message from Cao Xiuyan, inviting him to dinner at the Ganis Hotel.
"Can Liang Sizhe come over? Yu Ning likes him and wants to have a meal together and get to know him." Cao Xiuyan said on the phone.
"He's not free, he just joined the group yesterday, so the reshoot time is very fast." Cao Ye said. Cao Yuning, Cao Xiuyan's son, likes Liang Sizhe, he is not sure, but it is true that Cao Xiuyan wants to take this opportunity to get to know Liang Sizhe. These days, people who want to enter the film and television industry want to know Liang Sizhe. Liang Sizhe is the biggest piece of cake drawn by the project for the management. Almost all film and television companies are eager to take it for themselves.
Cao Ye knew what Cao Xiuyan was thinking. "The Darkest Choice" invited Liang Sizhe to make up the film, which largely meant that Cao Ye would win the gambling agreement, and Cao Xiuyan's attempt to acquire Lomon was about to fail.
Maybe Cao Xiuyan is planning to set up his own film and television company, Cao Ye guessed, after all, the film market has been booming in the past two years.
However, Cao Ye refused to bring Liang Sizhe to Cao Xiuyan, not because he was worried that once they hooked up, what threat would it bring to his company, he just didn't want to cause trouble for himself.
What's more, Cao Xiuyan really overestimated him. He didn't even have Liang Sizhe's own contact information. Does he have to sign a contract with Xu Yunchu for dinner? On the way to the dinner, Cao Ye thought absurdly, Cao Xiuyan might as well invite Liang Sizhe under the name of Cao Xiuyuan, maybe he is more likely to be invited.
After all, the brothers Cao Xiuyan and Cao Xiuyuan not only have the same names, but their looks are carved out of the same mold. Maybe Liang Sizhe will see Cao Xiuyuan's "face" and hit it off with Cao Xiuyan, thus establishing a long-term cooperative relationship.
The lobby of the Janis Hotel is very stylish. Cao Xiuyan's assistant went downstairs specially and took Cao Ye to the private room on the top floor.
Cao Xiuyan was sitting in the private room in a suit and leather shoes, next to Cao Yuning, who was stunned. Judging from the dejected appearance, he must have been disciplined by his father just now.
When Cao Yuning saw Cao Ye entering the door, his eyes lit up, and he stood up and shouted, "Brother!"
"It's a holiday." Cao Ye smiled at him, and nodded to Cao Xiuyan to say hello, "Uncle."
"The company is still so busy?" Cao Xiuyan smiled kindly at him, "Sit down, the dishes will be served in a while."
As soon as Cao Ye sat down, Cao Yuning ran over and pulled the chair next to him to sit next to him. Seeing Cao Xiuyan glaring at him, he smiled shyly, "I want to sit with my brother."
Cao Xiuyan and Cao Xiuyuan are twins, they are the same age, but Cao Xiuyuan and Li You gave birth to Cao Ye when he was 20 years old. It took eight years for Cao Xiuyan to get married and have children. The firewood, so in the heart of the old man Cao, compared to the more famous Cao Xiuyuan, Cao Xiuyan is actually more in line with his heart.
"Pour water for your brother." Cao Xiuyan mentioned Cao Yuning beside him.
"No, I'll do it myself." Cao Ye said, holding the teapot in his hand, and poured a small glass of water into the teacup in front of him.
"Liang Sizhe's relationship with your father is still good. It's amazing that Xiuyuan has cultivated such a talent. He has a high level of professionalism, and he is also affectionate and righteous. It's not easy." Cao Xiuyan estimated that after reading the news of Liang Sizhe's "repaying kindness at the airport" that day, he took the initiative to follow up with him. Cao Ye started talking.
"Yeah." The tea was a little hot, Cao Ye lowered his eyes and blew it twice.
"Your father's network is also your network. You have to manage it well." Cao Xiuyan saw that he was not enthusiastic about this topic, and continued.
Cao Ye was very annoyed by the phrase "managing contacts", and even more troubled by Cao Xiuyan's greasy appearance as a businessman. He smiled and said, "Next time I go to the crew, bring Yu Ning along to get to know him."
Before Cao Xiuyan could speak, Cao Yuning jumped up first: "Really? Hey, I like Liang Sizhe, brother, you have to talk!"
Cao Xiuyan was really satisfied, nodded and said, "That's fine, Yu Ning should see more of the world. By the way, Xiao Ye, when Yu Ning came back this summer vacation, I originally wanted him to intern in Janis, but he is not interested in the catering industry. I'm not interested, but I'm more interested in the film and television industry, can I go to your internship for a while?"
Cao Ye knew that Cao Xiuyan didn't just send Cao Yuning for an internship, and there was a high probability that there were other intentions hidden behind it, but he just turned his face to Cao Yuning and asked, "Do you want to come?"
Cao Yuning nodded sharply: "Think about it!"
"Okay, come on then." Cao Ye said with a smile.
"Then I'll go with you after dinner!" Cao Yuning said.
"To study, you can't just focus on playing." Cao Xiuyan stared at him with a serious tone.
Cao Ye put his hand around Cao Yuning's shoulder, smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will find the most reliable person to take him."
After eating, Cao Yuning couldn't wait to get into Cao Ye's car. He was eager to escape from Cao Xiuyan's clutches.
Cao Ye didn't like Cao Xiuyan, but he liked Cao Yuning quite a bit, perhaps because he was a bit like himself back then, with a hint of naivety.
As soon as Cao Yuning got in the car, without Cao Xiuyan's discipline, he immediately burst into joy, sat in the passenger seat and asked excitedly, "Brother, did you really take me to see Liang Sizhe? Really? Really?"
"You like him so much?" Cao Ye asked casually while driving, "What do you like about him?"
"He looks handsome!"
"That's it?"
"And the figure is also very good. Have you seen "The River of Wangchuan"? The figure in that play is absolutely amazing, it's just my goddess!"
"What the hell?" Cao Ye frowned, the word was so new, he had never heard it before. But he knew that in "The River of Wangchuan", Liang Sizhe's works won the Best Actor Award in Cannes, and the peak of the strong alliance with Cao Xiuyuan.
"...Just, it's the style I like, style!" Cao Yuning explained.
Cao Ye said "Oh" with little interest. He was immersed in his own thoughts. He said that before the filming of "The River of Wangchuan", he wished Liang Sizhe the best actor, but he didn't expect that he really won the actor in the end, and he was also the best actor in Cannes. Cao Ye feels that he may be really "auspicious" in a sense. No wonder Cheng Duan said he was the "mascot" of the company. He gave Liang Sizhe two congratulations for winning the best actor, and it happened that Liang Sizhe took it twice. The two most important actor awards in my life...
Cao Yuning interrupted his thoughts: "Brother, Liang Sizhe is actually a double, do you know?"
"I don't know," Cao Ye glanced at him, "Who said that?"
"A lot of people say that."
There was a bit of traffic in front of him, Cao Ye stepped on the brakes to reduce the speed, and sneered disapprovingly: "Just because he acted in a gay movie, you can't pretend that he is a double."
"It has nothing to do with this, it has been reported before!" Seeing that Cao Ye didn't believe it, Cao Yuning lowered his head and pulled out the photo from his mobile phone, holding the mobile phone and handing it to Cao Ye, "Look at this!"
Cao Ye glanced at the photo on the screen. The photo was quite blurry. Under the dim street lights, two teenagers of similar height were walking together. He wrapped his arms around the neck of the other boy and opened his palms to block the face of the hooded boy, so that the camera couldn't capture him. There was a circle of passers-by holding their phones and trying to take pictures of them.
"It's ambiguous, isn't it?" Cao Yuning retracted his phone and looked down at the photo, "This report says that Liang Sizhe and this person are a couple!"
"It's fake." Cao Ye said.
"Why is it fake? How do you know it's fake?" Cao Yuning straightened up and looked at him, disagreeing with him being so arbitrary, "If it's just an ordinary friend, why would you hide your face..."
Of course I know, Cao Ye thought, because it was me who was blocking my face.
It's been so many years since this photo was taken, and people still use it to speculate on Liang Sizhe's sexual orientation... Hey, so many of your scandalous reports have made headlines in vain.
"But the filming is very good. Liang Sizhe looks so tender at this time. It seems that he hasn't acted in "Red Boy, Red Girl" yet?" Seeing that Cao Ye didn't speak, Cao Yuning thought he was persuaded by himself, and watched from the side. The picture said to itself, "This picture looks quite suitable..."
