Song Qingyan, who was in the car, flashed his eyes and saw Liang Sizhe dwarf Cao Ye's car, the door was closed, and he quickly slipped out a few meters away.
After she reacted, she immediately rushed to the window, shouted and asked, "Where are you going, Brother Sizhe?"
"Let's go first, you and..." The voice quickly drifted away and could not be heard clearly. Song Qingyan vaguely guessed that Liang Sizhe asked her to go back to the company with the driver.
Your stuff is falling on the car, brother... and the clothes that the costumer prepared in advance for tonight's finale banquet, Song Qingyan sat down without tears, and murmured that if you want to leave, there is no warning at all. …
The episode of "The Darkest Choice" was playing in the car. It was a wild jazz music. Compared with the loud music, the two were much quieter, smoking cigarettes in silence, but the atmosphere was very relaxed, and no one felt that they did not speak. Awkward.
After a while, Liang Sizhe opened his mouth and asked, "The music director of this film is Lian Ye?"
"Yeah," Cao Ye replied, "does it match the style of the movie?"
"Lian Ye hasn't been in the mountains for many years. I heard that many seniors can't be invited to visit in person. How did you invite them?"
"I... I specially flew to Taiwan to invite him." After smoking a cigarette, Cao Ye took off his hand on the steering wheel, opened the ashtray cover, and threw the cigarette butt in. "I went five times."
"It's just a matter of times?"
"if not?"
"I'm guessing it's probably still a good boy?" Liang Sizhe threw the cigarette butt after his last puff.
Cao Ye smiled: "It's not just being good, but also selling yourself."
Liang Sizhe also smiled and shook his head.
"Don't believe it." Cao Ye said.
"Let's not talk about how many rounds Lian Yeda has... Aren't you homophobic?" Liang Sizhe asked. It is rumored that Lian Ye did have several homosexuals, but Cao Ye's statement is obviously a fabrication.
"I'm afraid, are you dedicated to art?" Cao Ye smiled, and tapped his fingers on the steering wheel a few times with the rhythm of the song, "It's quite worth it, right?" After two sentences, the reflexed voice is quite authentic, and the tone is relaxed and lazy. The tone of the boy from ten years ago has changed a little, but it still sounds pleasant, like a college student who has nothing to do on weekends.
"Bringing in a music director makes you think it's worth it. It seems that I shouldn't have agreed to make reshoots so easily at that time."
Cao Ye's fingers on the steering wheel stopped.
"I think the importance of the role of Scar should not be weaker than that of the music director?" Liang Sizhe glanced at him with a smile.
Cao Ye said with a "tsk", "I can sell myself to hire a music director, and hire a movie star to play a supporting role? I still have self-knowledge."
"It's not called self-knowledge, it's called self-defeating, aren't you the idiom little prince?"
"Okay, don't mention it," Cao Ye stopped him, "This name sounds too shameful now."
"It's cute." Liang Sizhe smiled.
After the jazz-style episode was broadcast, a soft piano song was switched. Cao Ye received a call from Xu Anqiao. After hanging up, he asked Liang Sizhe, "After the reshoot of the film, I want to apply for this year's Academy Awards. They asked if you wanted to be nominated for Best Supporting Actor."
"Report, why not?"
"You've won so many movie stars, so it shouldn't be too bad for this one best male supporting actor. They're afraid you'll think it's too cheap."
"I think the price dropped..." Liang Sizhe repeated his words with a smile, then paused for a moment and said, "So many movie stars were won under the guidance of Teacher Cao. The prize, don't you know what's going on outside?"
Of course, Cao Ye knew that after Liang Sizhe won the Cannes Film Award, he refused the olive branches thrown by several domestic directors, and directed "Liang Sheng Zhu Meng" in self-imposed retreat for two years. After its release, the box office just exceeded 10 million, and some media commented at that time, " The higher you stand, the harder you fall." Some even asserted that Liang Sizhe, who had left Cao Xiuyuan, would not be able to go far. At that time, Cao Ye's company had just started, and he paid attention to industry news every day.
"I thought you didn't care about these claims." Cao Ye said.
"I haven't cultivated to that level," Liang Sizhe smiled, seeming to laugh at himself, "To be honest, although the two films "Thirteen Days" and "The River of Wangchuan" won awards, when they acted, they actually I don't really know what I'm doing."
"What a joke." Cao Ye said, and it was true that only when he stood at the height of Liang Sizhe could he have the capital to humble himself to this level.
Liang Sizhe went on to say: "I think "Red Boy, Red Girl" is very good, very sober, better than the two winners, but unfortunately it was shortlisted but did not win the award."
There was some regret in his tone, Cao Ye couldn't help frowning slightly and said: "I heard that Mr. Zhu Qingyun Zhu also signed up for the Best Actor at the Academy Awards. He is in his 90s and has been running with him for many years. I won't ignore this factor, no matter how well you acted that time, there is no chance of winning."
"Yeah, but this world only depends on success or failure. I'm fine myself, but I didn't do what I promised you at the time. I always felt that I had failed the opportunity you fought for me, and I always wanted to find time to explain to you, that I actually did my best in the film.”
As soon as he said this, all the pictures from a few years ago appeared in front of Cao Ye's eyes. Liang Sizhe sat in front of him and looked at the sentence he said, "Don't worry, I will take the best actor". Remember clearly.
Cao Ye paused for a while, and then asked in a low voice, "I tried my best than "Wang Chuan"?" Although they were all directed by Cao Xiuyuan, "Red Boy and Red Girl" was an opportunity he won for Liang Sizhe. "Wang Chuan" "The River" was named by Cao Xiuyuan and asked Liang Sizhe to play. Cao Ye didn't know the meaning of his question.
Liang Sizhe turned his face to look at him, and said with a serious look: "Yes, I tried my best than "Wangchuan"."
Cao Ye nodded and said nothing.
The two were silent for a while without speaking.
After a long while, Liang Sizhe asked, "Where is this going?"
"I don't know..." Cao Ye said.
A few seconds later, he heard Liang Sizhe laugh lowly, and then he himself felt a little funny. After driving for so long, he didn't even know where he was driving.
The two laughed for no reason for a while.
Cao Ye stopped laughing, and said rather innocently: "Didn't you say go anywhere, I'll just drive."
"Very good," Liang Sizhe said with a smile, "Just open it."
This afternoon, the two of them drove the car for nearly 100 kilometers aimlessly. They drove a few sections of high speed and got on several viaducts. Finally, they drove to the point where the fuel tank was about to run out. Called up the car navigation.
The surrounding wilderness has reached the border of the neighboring city. Cao Ye checked the nearby gas station on the navigation and filled up the fuel tank before the fuel ran out.
On the return journey, the sun was about to set, and the setting sun was hidden in the middle of the mountain, and the large sky was smudged almost magnificently, spreading from the dazzling duck egg yolk to the dark blue, and then the night was shrouded little by little. When the car merged into the congested traffic in the city, the twilight had completely put away the last light of the sky.
"I'm going to be late." Cao Ye said, looking at the red light at the rear of the car, "Get ready to be fined later."
"They don't know you're a poor drinker?"
"If you know, you will be punished..." Cao Ye leaned back in his chair and said, after thinking about it, he still couldn't help defending himself, "And I'm much better at drinking."
"Really," Liang Sizhe said with a smile, recalling the dinner when he talked about the reshoots of "Darkest Choice" for more than a month, "it seems to be better than before."
"When did you stop drinking?"
"After the release of "The Liang Zhu", it was less than two years ago."
"Last time your assistant said you quit drinking for the seventh time, is this frequency really quitting drinking?"
"The seventh time..." Liang Sizhe smiled, "It should be more than seven times. She asked me how many times I drank during the holidays. I can't remember exactly, so I just tried to fool her."
"That's also called quitting drinking."
"I'm giving up." Liang Sizhe looked out the window and said, "I can't say I'm not giving up if I can't quit."
"How did you think of quitting drinking?" Cao Ye asked, only to remember that he seemed to have asked this question once before. Liang Sizhe said that day, "If you want to quit, quit."
But today he changed his rhetoric: "If you don't quit, you will get out of control."
His voice fell, and Cao Ye glanced at him involuntarily. At that moment, Liang Sizhe seemed to have fallen into some kind of deep emotion, and his usual leisurely demeanor disappeared. Looks a little lonely. Like the Liang Sizhe when he talked about not being able to play the violin anymore on the last day of the age of seventeen.
There was a sudden honking of horns behind him. Cao Ye regained his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream. The green light was already on, and the vehicles behind were urging him to move forward.
The phone rang in the car at this time, and Cheng received a call. Cao Ye picked it up and asked him when he would arrive.
"The road is too congested, it is estimated that I will arrive ten minutes late." Cao Ye said.
"Where are you going?" Cheng Duan's voice spread out in the carriage, "I haven't seen you for a day. I heard that you went to stare and shoot last night?"
"It was Xu Anqiao who told you."
"It's raining so hard, and you don't call the driver. What kind of wind are you pumping out of nowhere? There's no girl at the scene, right?"
"I have to have a girl to go..."
"Is this your usual style," Cheng Duan said with a smile, "could it be to meet your old lover Liang Sizhe?"
Cao Ye: "..."
Liang Sizhe in the passenger seat glanced at him.
Cao Ye coughed lightly and reminded Cheng Duan: "We are together."
"what?"
"Liang Sizhe is next to me."
Terminal: "… "
"Hang up first." After Cao Ye finished speaking, he hung up the phone. He thought that he had to remember to cut off the bluetooth when driving a phone call. It was too embarrassing. Before Liang Sizhe could speak, he explained first: "He's joking , I didn't say anything."
"Oh," Liang Sizhe's reaction was flat, "I guess it is too."
The finale banquet was set in the Lomon Club. The clubhouse was originally constructed with reference to the partition design of Japanese screens. When there is no need to greet guests with great fanfare on weekdays, several screens are closed, and it looks like a private private room connected to one another. After a while, all the screens were opened, and the space of several hundred square meters was transparent and bright. The lighting engineer controlled the ambient lights on all sides, making the clubhouse look like a feasting banquet hall.
Seeing them coming in, Cheng Duan got up and walked over to greet them. He first said hello to Liang Sizhe, then looked at them with a smile and said, "Where are you going? Seeing that your hair is all messed up, did you open the hood? It looks like you've gone a long way?"
"Going to elope." Liang Sizhe looked at him and smiled indifferently.
"I believe it." Cheng Duan laughed and pointed forward, "Go, at the table."
Investors such as Lin Yan, He Fangwen, and Zhao Chengdong also came over. Seeing them approaching, Lin Yan took the red wine and poured it into the glass: "Old rule, penalty for being late."
After pouring two glasses, he looked at Liang Sizhe and asked, "Sizhe is still quitting drinking?"
Liang Sizhe sat down without saying a word, raised his elbow and flashed the back of his hand at him.
Cao Ye thought to himself that this man lied so comfortably that he could not see the slightest hint.
Lin Yan looked at Cao Ye and said, "In that case, Yezi, will you replace him?"
"Look at it." Cao Ye said, forgive him that he wouldn't drink too much alcohol.
Lin Yan knew Cao Ye's amount of alcohol, so he poured three glasses and pushed them in front of him: "This drink is strong, so I won't give you too much. You will be fined two glasses, and Liang Sizhe will be fined one cup, so I can't say I don't. Kind."
The finale banquet pays attention to the atmosphere. If you don't drink it, it's hard to say. All up.
"You're good at drinking." Liang Sizhe turned to look at him, "Is there really no problem?"
"After so many years, you think I haven't made any progress at all?" Cao Ye said, but he knew in his heart that he would be drunk tonight, but he didn't know how drunk he would be when he got drunk.
He Fangwen came over with a drink to pay respects to Liang Sizhe, and after he finished drinking, he sat aside to catch up with him.
Cheng Duan turned his head and whispered to Cao Ye: "So you really went to see Liang Sizhe last night?"
Cao Ye glanced at him: "Where did you see it?"
"Your clothes belong to Liang Sizhe, right?" Cheng Duan looked down from his face, "typical of his style."
"Is there?"
Cheng Duan: "You rarely wear dark colors."
"Okay." That seemed to be the case.
"You can wear clothes together," Cheng Duan said with a smile, "I began to suspect that the old lover's statement was true. To be honest, the moment you stepped in from the door, it was really like coming back from an elopement. "
"Vice President Cheng, I think the company can hire you as a screenwriter and pay another salary."
"You said you were together in the car just now, I guess what was my first reaction?"
"If you don't want to guess, don't say it."
Cheng Duan didn't listen, and then smiled: "You thought you were going to come out with me."
Cao Ye glanced at him incomprehensibly.
"You didn't hear that I was surprised?"
"No." Of course I heard the nonsense in my heart, otherwise why should I explain that sentence later
