The next morning, Liang Sizhe woke up first, rolled over and lay on his back with his eyes closed. One leg touched Cao Ye's bent knee. He suddenly opened his eyes and realized that Cao Ye slept in his bed last night.
Cao Ye still maintained the position he was lying on his side last night, and he didn't know if he had changed his sleeping position in the middle, but the quilt that was tightly wrapped before going to bed disappeared. He probably kicked him to the ground in the middle of the night, under his shorts. Above the bare knees, fresh mosquito packs can be seen that have just been bitten.
Cao Ye slept soundly, breathing long. At night, the temperature of the air conditioner was set a little low. Liang Sizhe wore a black cotton vest when he slept, and his exposed shoulders were a little cold. Cao Ye's breath rushed to it, and that small area seemed extraordinarily warm.
Liang Sizhe's eyes fell on Cao Ye's face, Cao Ye's face was a little red from sleep, the eyelashes covering the lower eyelid were like a small fan, and the wings of his nose moved slightly with his heavy breathing.
The only son of Cao Xiuyuan and Li You, Liang Sizhe thought, is a veritable young master...
More than two years younger than himself, still a child.
But... He glanced down involuntarily, the boy's bent knees bulged visibly, and a small water stain appeared on the cotton shorts.
- "Lin Yan likes men." Those words rang in his ears again.
Liang Sizhe withdrew his gaze like an electric shock, propped himself up on the bed and sat up. He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, staring at the air for a while.
I don't like men either.
Aren't you just having a good time with your friends
I used to meet boys of the same age in the high school attached to it. Because Cao Ye is young and has a naive personality, he feels a little different...
To actually think about such a thing... Are you stunned
Just thinking about this, he was suddenly scratched a few times on his waist, Liang Sizhe turned his head, and Cao Ye also woke up.
"I don't feel itchy," Liang Sizhe stretched out his hand and scratched his waist casually twice, "you'll know if you try it..."
Before he finished speaking, Cao Ye curled up like a conditioned reflex, and hid back with a laugh: "Hey, don't scratch me, I'm ticklish!"
"Is it itchy?" Liang Sizhe scratched twice.
"Tickle," Cao Ye couldn't stop laughing, "don't scratch me, I'm going to fall under the bed."
He laughed so hard that Liang Sizhe couldn't help laughing along with him.
Cao Ye saw that he had put his hand away, moved in from the bedside, and tried to reach out and scratch Liang Sizhe: "Are you really not afraid of itching?"
"I don't feel itchy," Liang Sizhe got out of bed, "I went to wash up."
The cold water splashed on his face, Liang Sizhe thought to himself why he started to think about some things again, Cao Ye was just an indeterminate child, he looked at him just like Lin Yan looked at him in Cao Ye's mouth, because he regarded him as his younger brother Look, that's why I want to be nice to him, but he doesn't want to.
What's more, after leaving Yinsi Street, not to mention how long Cao Ye will remember him, it is hard to say how long he will remember Cao Ye. He has never been very enthusiastic about socializing. In the past, when he was divided into classes or graduated, some of his classmates were sad, some were reluctant, and some were crying.
Although I feel a little reluctant to leave Yinsi Street now, but when it's time to be alone, I should be able to adapt to living alone again soon, just... let's have fun, don't think about it too much. Liang Sizhe straightened up, took a clean towel and covered his face.
Liang Sizhe pushed open the door and walked out of the bathroom. Cao Ye was squatting on the ground, as if he had just dug out something from the backpack he got back yesterday, and was fiddling with his head.
"What are you doing?" Liang Sizhe glanced at him and asked casually.
Cao Ye raised the gadget in his hand to face him: "Look here."
"What's this... a camera too?"
"Well, handheld, this one is more convenient to use, but the detail capture is not as professional as that one." Cao Ye raised the handheld camera with one hand, walked to the bed and sat down, and took a shot at Liang Sizhe.
Liang Sizhe was biting the hair rope and tucked his hair with his hands. When he saw him coming, he took off the hair rope and tied his hair while laughing: "You don't need to shoot everything."
"I just want to shoot everything," Cao Ye explained behind the camera. "This is for life shots, and the professional one is for script shots. When you compare the two shots, you can see what's unnatural." In fact, this It was his own nonsense, he just thought that Liang Sizhe's hair-tie movement was very beautiful, and it was a pity not to take pictures.
"Okay." Liang Sizhe tied his hair and said with a smile. He didn't understand the process of making a movie or the training process of an actor. He listened to what Cao Ye said.
After that, Cao Ye took this handheld camera wherever he went. He took pictures when he was eating, when he was walking, and when he was playing with the dog. Once Liang Sizhe went to the bathroom to run water. Shoot at yourself.
Liang Sizhe: "...This is going to be filmed too?"
"It's going to be filmed," Cao Ye said seriously, "the facial expressions before and after peeing are definitely different. The comparison of the details of this life is the most important."
"...Aren't you fooling me?" Liang Sizhe bent his fingers and knocked on his forehead.
"Ouch," Cao Ye cried out, raising his hand and rubbing his forehead, "If you don't believe me, compare it yourself!"
"I don't compare."
"You really want to compare," Cao Ye smiled and leaned forward, went around Liang Sizhe's neck from behind, and held up the camera's playback image in front of him, "You look relaxed when you come out, and when you go in..."
"Looking for a beating, right?" Liang Sizhe reached for the camera, lowered his head and pressed the button with his finger to search for playback, "This paragraph has been deleted."
"You can't be shy, Brother Sizhe," Cao Ye snatched the camera from him again, "Actors have to do everything, and you have to do whatever the director tells you to do. You are known to the media like this, and you want to break the news. Do you know that you play big names and change the show at will?"
Liang Sizhe didn't grab the camera anymore and turned his face to look at him: "Then you are the director now?"
"I am," Cao Ye nodded as he put his shoulders on him, "I'll cut this film out later, and I'll call it... What's the name of the film? Let's call it Yin Si, and use the place name as the film's title. It has the style of a literary film."
The two were talking when a knock on the door came.
"I'm going to open the door," Cao Ye let go of Liang Sizhe and walked to the door with the camera. As soon as the door opened, Zheng Yin was standing at the door. "Uncle Yin, are you here?" Cao Ye called out affectionately.
Hearing Zheng Yin coming, Liang Sizhe also walked over and called out "Uncle Yin".
It was already in Futian, and the weather outside was really hot. As soon as the door was pushed in, Zheng Yin was taken aback by the air-conditioning in the house. He looked up at the air conditioner on the wall: "Hey, where is the air conditioner from?"
There were two masters behind him, and a vertical air conditioner was moved in. At this time, it was not a matter of entering or retreating when the door was blocked.
"Didn't my dad give it to An?" Cao Ye looked at the two masters who were carrying the air conditioner behind him, and looked at Zheng Yin suspiciously, "You don't know?"
"Your father?" Zheng Yin suddenly heard this remark, did not manage his expressions for a while, and asked a little funny and a little incredible, "He came to be safe by himself?"
"He bought the air conditioner and asked a master to come over to install it." Cao Ye turned to look at Liang Sizhe, "is that right?"
"Yeah." Liang Sizhe nodded, thinking that this lie might not be able to continue at all. Zheng Yin's momentary broken expression just heard an unbelievable joke, and anyone who saw it would be suspicious. But he still bite the bullet and continued to lie, "Director Cao found someone to be safe. He came to me that morning and told me personally."
I didn't feel embarrassed when I said this to Cao Ye, but when I told this lie in front of an adult like Zheng Yin, I always felt that there were loopholes everywhere, and I didn't even dare to look directly at Zheng Yin when I spoke.
When he said this, Cao Ye kept turning his head to look at him. Liang Sizhe wasn't sure whether his expression was calm enough, but he always felt that Cao Ye should have noticed the clue.
Fortunately, Zheng Yin didn't pursue this matter any further, and soon returned to his gentle appearance, and said with a smile, "Look at what your dad did, even I don't know, it's quite subtle... Okay, the air conditioner is installed. Well, it seems that I ran away this time in vain, I should ask him in advance and come back."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and said to the two masters, "It's been a while since the air conditioner was working hard for you two to move me to another place." Then he took out his wallet and took out two banknotes and handed them to them, "It's a hot day. Go down and buy some water."
He spoke and acted properly, and the two masters accepted the benefits, answered "Okay" without complaint, and moved the air conditioner down again.
When Zheng Yin turned around to talk to his master, Liang Sizhe glanced at Cao Ye. Cao Ye didn't look at him at the moment, he was leaning against the wall beside the door, looking up at the air conditioner on the wall in a daze.
When he found it out, Liang Sizhe lowered his eyes and thought, he couldn't hide it now, but he didn't know how Cao Ye would react when he regained his senses.
Zheng Yin sent the two masters away, went into the room and closed the door, took out a box of ice cream from the kraft paper bag he was carrying, and touched Cao Ye's face: "I brought you something delicious, take it. "
Cao Ye took it and looked down: "Oh, thank you Uncle Yin."
Zheng Yin handed another box to Liang Sizhe: "Sizhe yours."
Liang Sizhe also thanked: "Thank you, Uncle Yin."
"Don't stand at the door," Zheng Yin walked into the room, "sit down and tell you guys some news."
The two sat on Cao Ye's bed, and Zheng Yin asked again, "How did the script look?"
"I've read it once." Liang Sizhe said.
"Okay, just watch it once. Teacher Cao's meaning is to let you both go to the audition, Si Zhe, did Director Cao tell you about this?"
Liang Sizhe made a sound of "um".
Zheng Yin went on to say: "When it comes to the audition stage, it's not me who can intervene. During the audition, the rest of the crew can still talk, but when it comes to the audition, everything is up to Director Cao to make up his mind. "
"How many people auditioned?" Cao Ye raised his head and asked Zheng Yin.
"Just the two of you."
"Where's Zhang Minghan?"
"You didn't take what I told you last time, didn't you? Your dad basically doesn't use a newcomer twice. The movie market needs new blood. Don't think too easily about promoting newcomers."
Cao Ye pouted: "Then he had to waste time to audition last time."
"What is a waste of time?" Zheng Yin smiled and explained to him patiently, "If there is really no other good choice, then this opportunity may really fall on him, but it is not the two of you now. Is it more suitable than him? Besides, the last audition was also an opportunity that he took the initiative to fight for."
Seeing that Cao Ye didn't respond, Zheng Yin continued: "Okay, then I'll continue talking about the audition. The time is almost set in the middle of next month, and there is less than a month left to read the script thoroughly, adapt to the camera, and practice more lines. , this is what you guys should do, you know?" The more specific preparation method has been explained to Cao Ye privately, and these words are mainly for Liang Sizhe, although he is inclined towards Cao Ye to play Xiaoman, but The face should not be too biased.
After the last audition, Zheng Yin was 80% sure that the role of Xiaoman would eventually fall to Cao Ye. After all, in terms of the fit of the role, Cao Ye is indeed much more suitable than Liang Sizhe.
But Cao Xiuyuan didn't even say hello to him. After staying up all night without sleep, he came over to look for Liang Sizhe in person early in the morning, which was enough to show how much Cao Xiuyuan cared about this child.
Zheng Yin calmly looked at Liang Sizhe, who was opposite him. The sharpness of the boy's body seemed to be reduced a bit, and the sense of indifference that refused to give a thousand miles was not so obvious. It's only been nearly a month since he hadn't seen him. With a mild temperament, if he participated in the audition in this state a month ago, it is hard to imagine whether everyone in the crew would have been inclined to Cao Ye more suitable for Xiaoman.
Zheng Yin looked at the two teenagers in front of him and sighed in his heart. He has been in the film business for a long time, and he began to believe in the matter of "man's destiny". Exactly. No one can absolutely control even the development trajectory of a movie, let alone a person's fate
"Cheng, I have brought the news," Zheng Yin stood up, "the film will enter the intensive preparation period, I may not have time to come again, you two take care of each other, discuss and discuss the script more. Wait for the day before the audition, I'll call to let you know, and I'll try to drive to pick you up when the time comes."
After saying this, he didn't waste any more time, got up and left.
