At this time, Zeng Ran came over holding the computer, Xu Anqiao asked the studio assistant to vacate a lounge, and several people walked towards the lounge together. The lounge is not large, with a row of multi-person sofas in the middle, and a single-person sofa on each side.
Xu Anqiao gave Cao Ye and Liang Sizhe to the sofa in the middle, and sat on both sides with Zeng Ran. Cao Yuning sat down next to Cao Ye, and couldn't help but glance at Liang Sizhe.
Cao Ye chatted with Zeng Ran about the recent shooting situation for a while, and while chatting, he felt that Cao Yuning was not quite right - his eyes seemed to be glued to Liang Sizhe and could not be torn off.
Liang Sizhe sat next to Cao Ye and flipped through the planning book Xu Anqiao had put on the table. The distance between the two was not too close, and their bodies were not next to each other, but they couldn't sit in the third person.
Cao Ye glanced at Cao Yuning and said nothing. When he was as old as Cao Yuning, he couldn't help but go to see Liang Sizhe. At that time, he thought Liang Sizhe was really good-looking. Both of his parents are from the literary and art circles. Cao Ye has seen countless good-looking people since he was a child, but Liang Sizhe looks very special. He still remembers the scene where Zheng Yin introduced them to their first acquaintance. Liang Sizhe walked slowly from the dim hall to When Guangli walked in front of him, the outline gradually became clearer. At that moment, Cao Ye was stunned, and then he thought of that feeling as if it was called amazing.
Zeng Ran took the computer to the coffee table in front of them: "Si Zhe, let's watch it together. The scheduling of this scene is more complicated, and it is the climax of the whole film."
Cao Ye leaned forward, held the edge of the laptop screen, moved the computer forward, and then pushed it towards Liang Sizhe. Liang Sizhe also leaned over and watched the modeling on the screen with him.
Zeng Ran followed the screen to explain the camera position and make-up shots. Cao Ye asked a few questions while listening. Liang Sizhe didn't say much the whole time, and listened to them chatting. He felt that Cao Ye had really matured a lot over the years. He asked a few questions quite professionally, and at first glance, he was interested in this project. Zeng Ran also seemed to be quite convinced by him. After chatting for a while, he felt that the explanation was not enough. He walked to the coffee table and squatted down, holding the mouse and dragging the progress bar of the modeling video forward.
"You sit here." Cao Ye moved towards Liang Sizhe to make room for Zeng Ran. Zeng Ran turned his head and glanced at it. Seeing that there was a vacancy, he did not refuse. He got up and sat between him and Cao Yuning.
As soon as Zeng Ran came over, the space on the sofa seemed a little crowded. Cao Ye had to move towards Liang Sizhe again. There was some space between the two, but now they were completely next to each other, arms next to arms and legs. next to the legs.
For a while, Cao Ye thought it was weird. The side that was next to Zeng Ran didn't feel anything, but next to Liang Sizhe seemed a little uncomfortable. Thinking about it, they haven't sat next to each other for a long time. It was obvious that they didn't feel anything wrong when they slept together in the same bed, but now it seems a little strange to even sit together like this.
Sometimes I think about the conflict of the past, but it seems that from a certain moment, although no one has officially announced a break with anyone, it has suddenly become estranged, and the estrangement is so thorough.
After Zeng Ran explained, he was a little embarrassed to mention the matter of additional investment. He talked about the filming, but he seemed a little embarrassed at the moment, and he hesitated for a while before answering the question.
Seeing that Xu Anqiao didn't get to the point after he had been around for a long time, he was a little anxious for him, and was about to speak to help him out, Cao Ye reached out and closed the computer, smiled with Zeng Ran and said, "I understand, this film needs Additional investment may be more than expected, right?"
Zeng Ran smiled reluctantly: "Yes." He has not yet broken away from the independent film production mode, and he is not used to the mode of directly asking the employer for money.
"No problem," Cao Ye said. "I understand the shooting situation. Let Xu Anqiao communicate with me about the funding."
Zeng Ran nodded in relief.
Liang Sizhe smiled aside: "It's the first time I've seen investors talk so well."
Zeng Ran said rarely for Cao Ye: "Lomon is different from other investors."
Liang Sizhe still laughed: "It sounds like a good thing for the film, but every film is so generous, will the company really not lose money?"
Cao Ye turned his face to look at him: "Who said that every movie is like this?"
"Um?"
After talking about the matter, the place was a little crowded. Cao Ye got up from the sofa: "If it weren't for Liang Yingdi, you rescued the scene, I wouldn't be so generous."
Liang Sizhe looked up at him and smiled: "Oh, that's my honor."
After talking about the reshoots, Cao Ye got up and left the conference room. Cao Yuning was so bored that he almost fell asleep. Seeing Cao Ye get up, he quickly followed.
Cao Ye heard Cao Yuning calling him "brother" in a low voice behind him, he looked back at him, Cao Yuning made a mouth shape at him: "Eat-eat!"
Cao Ye knew that he wanted to have a dinner party in the evening and called Liang Sizhe out to have a meal together, so that he could chase stars at close range. It's not difficult to say this. He is very familiar with Xu Anqiao and Zeng Ran. He used to go out for dinner occasionally when he came to the crew to talk about things, but...
Cao Yuning called "Brother" a few times behind him, and added a whispered "Please", Cao Ye thought to himself how he had never seen him love Liang Sizhe so deeply before. Cao Yuning kept urging him behind him, calling out "brother" one after another, and it didn't stop for a second, making his brain hurt.
Zeng Ran and Xu Anqiao left behind and continued to talk about the reshooting plan. Liang Sizhe also walked out of the lounge at this time. Cao Ye slowed down, and when Liang Sizhe followed, he turned his head and asked him, "Are there any night scenes planned? "
"Yes," Liang Sizhe looked at him and smiled, "Why, are you planning to invite me to dinner?"
Cao Ye also smiled: "If there is any, then forget it."
Cao Yuning, who was next to him, was unhappy, and stretched out his hand and pulled Cao Ye's sleeve to express his dissatisfaction. Cao Ye glanced at him sideways and gave him a look of "enough is enough". Seeing that Cao Ye didn't mean to make a joke, Cao Yuning just gave up and walked forward in disappointment, without saying "brother".
He stopped completely, and Cao Ye felt that something was wrong. When he was young, he hated others pouring cold water on him, but he seemed to have poured cold water on Cao Yuning. It's not too much to chase stars... Besides, it's Liang Sizhe who is chasing after, at least it means that Cao Yuning's taste has not changed, right? Cao Ye had this kind of thought in his mind, and then he felt that this idea was really absurd.
Sitting in the car, Cao Yuning was sullen, lowered his head and played with his mobile phone without speaking.
Cao Ye closed the car door, pulled the seat belt and fastened it, glanced at him, and comforted him softly for a while: "You saw it too, Liang Sizhe has a night show at night, so we can't delay the filming progress of the crew, wait for the next opportunity. Well, ah."
"But I'm going back soon." Cao Yuning turned his face away and looked out of the car window angrily.
"Where are you going?"
"School, Manchester City!"
"So soon? It's early for the end of summer vacation, right?"
"I have something to do when I go back." Cao Yuning was reluctant to say more.
"What's the matter?" Cao Ye started the car, but didn't drive away in a hurry. He tapped the steering wheel with his fingers and coaxed him carelessly, "We'll just wait here, wait for him to finish the night scene, and then invite him to dinner. night?"
Hearing the teasing in his tone, Cao Yuning was even more unhappy. Cao Ye can't be trusted, so he can only rely on himself. He reached out and pushed open the car door, said "wait for me a moment", then jumped out of the car and ran away.
Cao Ye turned his head to look out the car window, Cao Yuning raised his legs and ran towards Liang Sizhe, stopped in front of him and said something to him. The distance was a bit far, Cao Ye couldn't see the expression on Liang Sizhe's face, he could only see Liang Sizhe looking down at Cao Yuning who was standing in front of him, half his head shorter than him.
The few people who came out to see Cao Ye were standing there discussing the shooting plan of the night show. When Cao Yuning suddenly got out of the car and ran over and stopped in front of Liang Sizhe, they were stunned for a while, and unconsciously stopped the conversation just now.
Cao Yu Ningchu was in front of Liang Sizhe, looked at him blankly and asked, "Brother Sizhe, can I add you on WeChat?"
Everyone else present immediately sweated on Liang Sizhe's behalf, and the boy's stunned question was really embarrassing. But he is also different from other ordinary fans of star chasing. He is Cao Ye's cousin, and it is not easy to refuse Liang Sizhe if he wants to come.
However, there was no embarrassed expression on Liang Sizhe's face. He looked at his face for a few seconds, and then said, "Ask your cousin, I didn't bring my phone out."
Cao Yuning felt that he was the bravest person in the world at this moment, and he continued to ask: "Then will you add me?"
"Yes," Liang Sizhe smiled, "that you are his cousin."
"Okay." Cao Yuning was done and ran back to Cao Ye's car.
"Can you leave this time?" Cao Ye turned to look at Cao Yuning, who was radiant again, and asked absently, "What are you doing?"
"I'm going to ask Liang Sizhe for WeChat!" Cao Yuning fastened his seat belt consciously, with an excited look on his face, and he was completely different from before he ran out.
"Oh, okay, you..." Cao Ye drove on the road and chatted with him, "I'm so happy, he gave it?"
"He said it's fine to ask you, he will agree!" Cao Yuning couldn't wait to pull out his phone, "Brother, give me Liang Sizhe's WeChat."
Cao Ye paused and said with a smile, "...but I don't have his WeChat."
Cao Yuning turned to look at him suddenly, Cao Ye could feel the disbelief in his eyes when he looked ahead.
Cao Ye thought Liang Sizhe's move was quite funny, what do you mean? It's... The two of them didn't add WeChat to each other, no one should know better than Liang Sizhe, right
You are being teased, kid. Cao Ye said to Cao Yuning in his heart, but he did not expose Liang Sizhe on the bright side.
Unexpectedly, Cao Yuning vented his anger on him in the next second. He turned his head and did not look at him, but launched a violent attack on him, and whispered: "What's the matter with you, you are the CEO of Lomon? …”
Hey, don't blame Liang Sizhe for actually relying on him? Liang Sizhe really kills two birds with one stone.
Cao Ye smiled and said, "No one stipulates that the CEO of Lomon must have Liang Sizhe's WeChat account, right?"
"He's your partner!" Cao Yuning didn't give up, he turned his head and begged him, "Then you don't have it, Xu Anqiao always has it, right? Zeng Ran is the director, so he must have it too? Brother, go and ask me... "
"He asked you to ask me, but he didn't let me ask anyone else..." Cao Ye dismissed him carelessly. He has a hundred ways to get to Liang Sizhe's WeChat, which is easy for him, but he hasn't added Liang Sizhe until now, and he can't even explain why.
Maybe there is no need to add it, and there may not be a chat after adding it. It may be quite annoying to put it in the contact list. It should be the same for each other.
"You're so boring!" Cao Yuning yelled at him.
Cao Ye smiled and said innocently: "But I really don't have his WeChat... I won't lie to you."
Cao Yuning ignored him and sulked out of the window.
It was past eight o'clock in the evening when I returned to the city, and when there were many people and vehicles, the road was blocked and it was a little annoying. Cao Ye began to regret not calling the driver out in the afternoon.
There were still two blocks away from the company, so Cao Yuning kept silent all the way, and suddenly said, "Brother, I want to get off."
"Now?"
"Well, there is a class reunion tonight."
"With Liang Sizhe, there will be no class reunion, right?" Cao Ye glanced at him, but didn't plan to care about him, "Just here?"
"Well, brother..." Cao Yuning hesitated.
"No money?" Cao Ye stopped the car by the side of the road, and he knew what he wanted to say without even opening his mouth, when his cell phone rang.
"How do you know?" Cao Yuning said in an exaggerated tone, "You are too amazing, brother!"
I've already played this trick because you pretend... Cao Ye picked up the phone while taking out his wallet and throwing it to him.
The call was from Cao Xiuyan, asking him about Cao Yuning's recent status in the company. Cao Yuning took out a card from Cao Ye's wallet and was about to push the door to get out of the car when Cao Ye raised his hand and grabbed his arm and dragged him back.
"Your dad!" He lip-synced to Cao Yuning, and Cao Yuning sat down obediently.
"I just took him to the crew in the afternoon to talk about the additional investment in the reshoots. Well, I also met Liang Sizhe. He sat next to me. I'll let him tell you..." After he finished speaking, he stuffed his phone into Cao Yuning In his hand, let him deal with Cao Xiuyan himself.
Cao Yuning answered the phone with an "um", and finally made a promise. After hanging up, he returned the mobile phone and wallet to Cao Ye, opened the car door and got out of the car: "Brother, I'm leaving, I'm leaving. Dad, call me again, and give me some extra help!"
He moved in a hurry, for fear that Cao Ye would drag him back again. Cao Ye felt that something was wrong. He lowered his head and opened his wallet to see that Cao Yuning had taken away his credit card with the highest limit, this little bastard! Looking up, Cao Yuning walked to the side of the road, ran a few steps, waved the card in his hand at him, and smiled to please.
Forget it, take it and take it away... Cao Ye released the brakes and drove after him. When Cao Yuning saw that he was catching up, he was so frightened that he ran away, making Cao Ye laugh a few times.
"Hey, look at some cars." He stuck his head out of the window, shouted to Cao Yuning with a smile, then stepped up the accelerator and merged into the traffic.
Back at the company club for dinner, Cheng Duan happened to be there. Seeing him approaching, he raised his hand to greet him. Cao Ye walked over and sat across from him: "No entertainment tonight?"
"No, if you want a drink, I can accompany you too." Cheng Duan said to him while eating.
"Oh, it turns out that drinking with me is considered entertainment." Cao Ye joked about him.
"Ha, it doesn't count, it's just drinking to accompany you to drink," Cheng Duan smiled to make up for himself, "Would you like to drink?"
"Drink a little." Cao Ye said.
Cheng Duan beckoned for a bottle of red wine and poured a small half glass for Cao Ye: "Is this all right? Your alcohol limit... The group said that you went to the crew in the afternoon to talk about reshoots? It's a small matter for you to take care of yourself. what."
"Why don't you visit a class by the way..." Cao Ye took a sip from his wine glass. Thinking about how much fuss I made this afternoon, I had clearly sent the modeling video by email. There is no need to waste a few hours going back and forth to talk to the crew, and I would actually respond to Cao Yuning's requests... Cao Ye looked back and felt a little unbelievable.
"So how's the reshoot going? Is Liang Sizhe and the crew getting along well?"
"Look at Xu Anqiao posting photos in the group every day, and Zeng Ran will support him. The two of them didn't say that they love Liang Sizhe to the death. Will they get along well?"
Cheng Duan laughed: "I saw the news in the group, but if you go to the crew, you must bring back some first-hand news!"
First-hand news... The red wine is a little high, and the wine is slowly taking effect. Cao Ye thought a little drunk. There are first-hand news, but it seems that it is not suitable for sharing with others.
For example, they were standing in the corner of the studio and making dirty jokes. At a certain moment, he almost mistakenly thought that he was back on Yinsi Street. They were standing on the corner chatting, seemingly serious, but in fact they were joking with each other, and their voices were very low. For fear of being heard by others.
After so many years, the relationship has clearly been cold and unfamiliar, but in the short few minutes of chatting in the afternoon, the familiar feeling seems to have returned. Cao Xiuyuan and Zheng Yin used to say that he had countless friends. In fact, he did have many friends, but I had to admit that it was the best feeling to chat with Liang Sizhe.
How should I put it... They seem to be born on the same frequency band, and they just happen to be able to receive each other's signals. Maybe this feeling is too rare, so after so many years, Cao Ye still misses the chatting together on Yin 4th Street. Feel.
