Liang Sizhe felt that he had not been so happy in the past two years.
During the more than a year of filming "Thirteen Days", he was in a depressed mood all day. After the film was finished, he still couldn't get out of the role; he was in a bad mood when he fell in love with Hu Yusi. It's not that bad. Hu Yusi is quite mature and has a more lively personality. He always tries his best to make him happy, but that kind of happiness flashes by like a glimmer of light, it's just a momentary thing.
He was very happy at the moment of winning the best actor, but Cao Ye avoided him that night, and he was not so happy.
But at this moment, sitting with Cao Ye on a secluded street, watching the streets they walked through countless times two years ago, he felt happy in his heart. Even being drunk is just right, he can indulge himself not to think about what he will face when he wakes up.
There is only one thing, Cao Ye doesn't seem to be in high spirits. The boy who was always carefree two years ago now frowns and looks preoccupied.
Liang Sizhe guessed that he might have exposed his love too clearly, he should restrain himself and let Cao Ye be more comfortable with him. Cao Ye should still be willing to treat him as a friend, otherwise why would he stand out for himself just now
Liang Sizhe bowed down, pressed the half-smoked cigarette to the ground and extinguished it. He straightened up and looked at Cao Ye: "Where do you live at night?"
"Me?" Cao Ye was thinking about the next countermeasures when he heard the words, "I live with a friend."
"Do you want to stay at Lanyan tonight?" Liang Sizhe looked at him and asked.
Cao Ye was stunned: "...there are too many people."
"After two o'clock, there are very few people. As for the blue banquet after three o'clock, it's like no one is living there. You lived there too, won't you forget?"
"Oh, I didn't forget... That's ok." Cao Ye said. Staying with Liang Sizhe seems to have returned to the time of Yin Si. Anyway, now Liang Sizhe has not cooperated with Cao Xiuyuan and Zheng Yin. Cao Ye thinks that he has no reason to continue to anger Liang Sizhe.
At 2:30 in the morning, they got up from the wooden chairs and turned into Yinsi.
The night market stalls were all closed, and the noisy fireworks seemed to have not dissipated not long ago. The kind of greasy, stuffy air didn't really smell pleasant, but the familiarity it brought made Liang Sizhe feel physically and mentally. Shu Chang, he doesn't seem to be so relaxed for a long time, and he doesn't have to worry about taking pictures or worrying about the paparazzi.
The dim light was still lit in Lanyan's foyer, and the figure on the curtain behind the glass window was shaking, probably because the waiter was doing the finishing touches.
They stepped up the steps, pushed the door and went in. The waiter had changed someone and was bending over to mop the floor. Hearing the movement, he looked up at them and said, "It's closed, no more guests."
"Is the lady boss asleep?" Liang Sizhe asked.
"In the back room, do you have anything to do with her?" The man looked at Liang Sizhe, probably thinking he looked familiar.
When the proprietress heard the movement outside, she stuck her head out from the back room: "It's so late to come here to work—" Halfway through the sentence, she shouted in surprise and joy, "Ouch, why are you two?" She came out and looked at him back and forth. The two of them said with a tsk, "Have you grown taller? This big star and young master, how can I accommodate the two of you here? This relationship is still as good as before, why did you think of coming to live with me tonight? ?"
"Come here and have a look." Liang Sizhe said, "Auntie, is there anyone living in that room on the third floor now?"
"No, there are a few people who come to my place who can afford such a big room."
"Then we still live in that room, okay?" Liang Sizhe asked, but turned his face to look at Cao Ye.
"Whatever." Cao Ye said.
"There's nothing wrong with that," the proprietress raised her voice, turned around and asked the waiter upstairs to clean up the room, saying that the sheets and toiletries were all the best, and then turned to look at them, "You two have a temper. Why does it seem like they've changed?" She spoke straight, thinking of what to say, "I remember that at that time, big stars didn't like to talk, and the young master was lively. Now, why doesn't this young master Cao don't like to talk anymore?"
Cao Ye was thinking badly about how to end it. Hearing what the proprietress said, he forced a smile: "Where is it, Auntie."
The proprietress took them and chatted for a while. The upstairs room was tidy up, and she led them upstairs: "Let's go, it's all tidy up, and it's still the same as before." After a while, the third flight of stairs was breathless. He walked across the corridor and pushed open the door. He lifted his chin toward the room, "Well, An's air conditioner was still there at the time."
Liang Sizhe walked in and looked at the room.
At first glance, the room has not changed much, but if you look closely, you can still see the traces of the passage of time.
Back then, the dark blue brand-new air conditioner was slightly faded by the sun, and the white paint on the wall-mounted cabinet also turned yellow, but the two beds with white sheets were still the same, one by the window and the other by the wall.
The proprietress closed the door, and only the two of them were left in the room. Needless to say, they all know which bed they should sleep in.
Cao Ye sat down and took out his mobile phone. He was wondering if he should send a message to Lin Yan and ask him what to do next.
Liang Sizhe sat opposite him, looked at him and asked, "What's the matter, what's wrong, tell me about it?"
Cao Ye was indeed not so happy.
He was thinking about what to do next, and the powerlessness after the impulse made him feel more and more irritable.
He couldn't help raising his eyes and asked Liang Sizhe, "That movie...Is it okay if you don't act?" After asking, he felt that he had asked something nonsense. How could Liang Sizhe answer this
Unexpectedly, Liang Sizhe said indifferently, "It's alright, I don't want to act in that movie for a long time."
Cao Ye looked at him in disbelief.
Liang Sizhe said it quite like that: "At that time, I took the film because the script was good. Later, there were a few times when the crew did not have enough funds, and the plot was changed in several places. It has almost collapsed. It may be a good thing not to act."
"Really?" Cao Ye began to be suspicious. He really felt that a crew created by such a producer would not be able to make any good films.
"What are you doing?" Liang Sizhe said with a smile, then looked at him and asked, "Cao Ye, did you go to college?"
"Well." Cao Ye said.
"I heard Uncle Yin say that you study film?"
Cao Ye made another "um".
"Then we can really cooperate in the future. Is college fun?"
"It's nothing fun," Cao Ye said, "it's just... more free."
"Oh, I never went to college," Liang Sizhe sighed, lowered his eyes, as if thinking about something, and asked again after a while, "Is it special?"
Cao Ye raised his eyes to look at him, they looked at each other for a moment, and then the two of them turned their faces away inexplicably and let out a sound of joy. What is Liang Sizhe laughing at? Cao Ye doesn't know. He just thinks Liang Sizhe's statement is very funny. He has already won the best actor, but he still cares about not going to college. This conversation spreads out, and he doesn't know what others will think...
Just as he was thinking, Liang Sizhe suddenly raised his hand and touched his hair.
"Hey—" Cao Ye raised his hand reflexively and grabbed his wrist.
"Oh, I forgot, I can't touch your head," Liang Sizhe said innocently, "you have to understand that a drunk person has a bad memory."
Cao Ye took his hand off his head and let go of his wrist. He looked at Liang Sizhe, not knowing if it was because he was drunk, Liang Sizhe's eyes seemed to be full of water, and his lips were especially rosy. , a face actually looks a little bright, like rouge on the corners of the eyes and lips.
Inexplicably, Cao Ye felt that he was getting upset again.
Obviously Liang Sizhe has stopped cooperating with Cao Xiuyuan and Zheng Yin, why is he still upset when he sees him? What are you bothering about
Annoyed but unable to stop wanting to see him, this made Cao Ye feel even more annoyed.
The scene he saw more than a year ago flashed in his mind, the scene of Cao Xiuyuan and Zheng Yin overlapping naked bodies, and then his face changed in an instant.
"What's wrong?" Liang Sizhe also saw that something was wrong with him.
Cao Ye shook his head, got up to go to the bathroom, and felt sick again. How could he suddenly think of that scene
"It's nothing, I'm going to take a shower." Cao Ye said, he walked quickly to the bathroom, and after stepping in, he closed the door with his backhand.
Standing in front of the toilet, the feeling of vomiting seemed to be suppressed again. Compared with the previous strong reaction, he is much better now.
Liang Sizhe sat back, took the pillow behind him, and leaned sideways on the head of the bed.
Cao Ye's reaction was the same as he expected. He took a step forward, and he took a step back. If he was forced, he would have a physiological disgust and disgust.
The feeling of happiness in his brain gradually subsided, Liang Sizhe thought clearly, maybe he shouldn't meet Cao Ye too much, Cao Ye is like a large dose of stimulant to him, it can make him happy in a short time. To the extreme, but what followed was an inescapable sense of emptiness.
When he didn't see Cao Ye, he could act, live, and fall in love step by step. Once he saw Cao Ye, he would feel for a moment that such a step-by-step life was really meaningless.
You can't indulge yourself, you still have to act, you have to get into the show, you have to keep yourself busy, you have to win a movie star, and prove it to those who criticize him and let them admit that they are wrong.
Sobering up from that sense of indulgence, Liang Sizhe began to think about how to deal with this matter tonight.
Although Cao Ye had just announced in the hotel that he would not act in that film, since half of the filming was done, the hard work of the hundreds of people in the crew couldn't just be abandoned halfway. The assistant director Uncle Xu, the cameraman Lei Ge, and Xiao Wei from the props team usually get along well with him. He knows how much effort they put into this film.
What's more, he is the most important protagonist of "Quarantine Zone". In terms of drama, acting skills, and discussion, this film is indispensable to him, so the producer should not really terminate the contract with him because of this incident tonight.
But since tonight's incident happened, the producer shouldn't miss the opportunity to embarrass him, such as asking him to accompany Mr. Yu for a drink or something... It's really annoying, how can this circle be so messed up? Thankfully, it wasn't Cao Ye who entered this circle... This idea was immediately rejected by Liang Sizhe himself. Cao Ye is Cao Xiuyuan's son. Who in this circle would dare to let him accompany him to drink
Forget it, it really doesn't work, just apologize to the producer. Brother Hua is usually good to him, so he shouldn't have to force him to jump into the fire pit. Liang Sizhe closed his eyes and thought.
After Cao Ye washed up and came out of the bathroom, Liang Sizhe leaned on the bed board with his head turned and closed his eyes, as if he had fallen asleep.
He stood at the end of the bed and looked at Liang Sizhe, wondering why he was upset.
Then Liang Sizhe opened his eyes suddenly, Cao Ye's heart suddenly jumped heavily, he looked away uncomfortably, and walked towards his bed: "I'm done washing, you go quickly."
Liang Sizhe turned his face to look at him, and found that even though he knew that Cao Ye didn't like him and avoided him, he felt very happy to be with Cao Ye, and he couldn't control it.
Alas, he sighed inaudibly, then got up to wash.
The two of them didn't set the alarm clock, and slept until nine o'clock the next morning when someone suddenly banged on the door vigorously. They were both asleep, and at the same time they were awakened and opened their eyes, and looked at each other sleepily.
"Who is it?" Cao Ye stood up and asked in a hoarse voice.
"I," the proprietress's voice sounded from outside the door, "Are you awake, big star? Hurry up and read the newspaper."
"Oh." Liang Sizhe responded, sat up slowly, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, put his legs on the ground, and put on disposable slippers to open the door: "What newspaper?"
"Look at this..." The proprietress handed the newspaper to him and pointed to the huge headline for him to read - "Liang Sizhe's Hotel Fighting Producer, Let's Stop Playing "Quarantine Zone"". There are two pictures, one is a blurry surveillance screenshot, Cao Ye is holding the producer's neckline against the wall, and the other is outside the hotel, Liang Sizhe stretches out his hand to cover Cao Ye's face, and is side by side with him Step forward.
"You—" The proprietress was about to shout something, when Liang Sizhe raised an index finger in front of her lips to tell her to keep silent.
Then he closed the door, pulled the proprietress away, leaning against the window sill to read the report.
The proprietress lowered her voice: "Did you cause a big disaster and come to hide here?"
"Yes." Liang Sizhe smiled.
The reason for the conflict was not written in the report, nor was there any mention of Cao Ye, only that Liang Sizhe beat up the producer together with his friends, and he stopped the film "Quarantine Zone", which was halfway through. As for the reason for the strike, the system The filmmaker said, "It may be because the crew has no money to meet his shooting requirements."
This is the worst kind of development. Last night, Liang Sizhe didn't think deeply in this direction. It's not that he didn't expect this possibility, but he didn't think it would happen. After all, before this, his relationship with the producer was pretty good.
But the producer's idea is different from his, and the exposure of this incident is a guaranteed profit for the producer. One is to put out the fire of the investors who were dumped last night, and the other is that if Liang Sizhe's reputation is ruined, no one in the circle will dare to use him as an actor in a short time, so Liang Sizhe can only continue to act in this film. . Third, if Liang Sizhe has the guts and decides to stop acting, then it doesn't matter. Three times the liquidated damages is enough for the crew to hire another actor with the same salary, and there is still a lot of filming funds left. The most important thing is that after this exposure, the popularity and discussion of the film have gone up, and there is no need to worry about the later publicity.
Liang Sizhe took out the entertainment page, and returned the remaining stack of newspapers to the proprietress.
Someone downstairs called the proprietress. The proprietress greeted him, turned around and went down the stairs. Liang Sizhe read the report again, then tore the newspaper and stuffed it into the trash can.
Seeing that there was no movement outside for a while, Cao Ye guessed that the newspaper should have reported what happened last night. He got up and put on his slippers, opened the door and looked out: "What did the newspaper write?"
The newspapers that were torn into pieces in his palms all fell into the trash can. Liang Sizhe withdrew his hand and turned to look at Cao Ye: "It's alright, I just wrote a bunch of nonsense." He walked over and grabbed Cao Ye's shoulders. Quickly let go, "Go to sleep a little longer."
After entering the room, Liang Sizhe took the phone from the bed and walked towards the bathroom: "I'll wash up first."
