Liang Sizhe rinsed Xiao Xiaobai with water, hung the shower on the wall, and asked Cao Ye, "Have you seen the first version of the film?"
"Not yet." Cao Ye said.
"Let's watch together then?" Liang Sizhe took a towel and wiped Xiao Xiaobai's body, "I have a screening room upstairs."
"Oh, okay."
The buzzing sound of the hair dryer rang, and Liang Sizhe looked up at him: "Your father and Uncle Yin have returned to China, do you know?"
Cao Ye pretended not to hear by the noise of the hair dryer: "Huh?"
Liang Sizhe smiled, shook his head, and said nothing.
Cao Ye had an inexplicable feeling that Liang Sizhe seemed to deliberately wait for the hairdryer to turn on before asking this sentence, giving each other room to back down.
After a while, Liang Sizhe stood up, put away the hairdryer, and then patted Xiao Xiaobai on the head: "It's almost there, go over by yourself."
Xiao Xiaobai didn't move, he stretched out his tongue and wagged his tail at him, and leaned towards him, looking very much like Caesar back then.
Liang Sizhe led it into the drying box, then stood in front of the sofa, raised his arms, took off the splashed T-shirt from his head, threw it aside, and picked up a clean one to put on.
When he took off his clothes, the well-defined back muscles on his back were affected. Cao Ye inexplicably thought of the words Cao Yuning said - "His body in Wangchuan is simply my favorite!" In his memory, Liang Sizhe's previous She also has a good figure. When she changes clothes after taking a shower, she can see a layer of firm back muscles covering her bones. It looks quite beautiful when it is affected. At the age of fifteen, she was still envious.
What happened to "The River of Wangchuan"? He only knew that it was a film about homosexuality, but he never thought of going to watch it. At that time, Wangchuan was released abroad, and Lin Yan asked him to go to the premiere together. Cao Ye said nothing, and since that time , Lin Yancai began to joke about his homophobia every now and then.
"Let's go, go upstairs to the screening room." Liang Sizhe changed his clothes and took Cao Ye upstairs.
The living traces on the second floor seem to be more obvious than those on the first floor. The projection room is at the innermost. It is about the size of two master bedrooms, which is almost equivalent to a small theater. Like the study downstairs, the screening room is also covered with a gray long-haired carpet, and you must take off your shoes before entering.
Liang Sizhe walked in, first turned on the ventilation system of the room, then walked to the window and closed the folding door, and closed the black blackout curtain. down.
The darkness came too suddenly, and his eyes had not yet had time to adjust. Cao Ye only felt that his eyes were suddenly dark, and then he heard Liang Sizhe call his name: "Cao Ye." I don't know if it was because the eyes could not see, and the hearing seemed to be more sensitive than usual. Some, Cao Ye felt that Liang Sizhe's voice sounded a little heavy, as if it was slightly different from his usual name.
"Huh?" he responded.
"Turn on the wall lamp, the switch is behind you." Liang Sizhe said. .
"Oh, good." Cao Ye didn't turn around, raised his hand and fumbled for the switch on the wall behind him, but couldn't find it, he whispered, "Where is it..."
"Behind you," Liang Sizhe said, "haven't found it yet?"
The voice was on the other side of the room just now, but now it was so close to his ear that Cao Ye was almost startled: "Why didn't you make any movement when you walked over..."
He waited for Liang Sizhe's next sentence, but Liang Sizhe didn't answer.
The silence spread, and Cao Ye suddenly felt that the room was uncomfortably quiet.
He could almost hear each other's slight breathing, and then he seemed to hear his own heartbeat again, hitting his chest forcefully, and the sound seemed to get louder and louder.
This moment of silence made his eyes adapt to the darkness, and vaguely, he could see the outline of Liang Sizhe in front of him.
He felt that Liang Sizhe seemed to move a little, and his head turned slightly, as if he was about to get closer to him.
His heart suddenly emptied, and he instinctively took a step back, half a step away from the wall, his back slammed against the wall. The switch is right behind, and with a soft click, the light turns on.
The dazzling light from the ceiling light made him narrow his eyes.
When he opened his eyes and looked over, Liang Sizhe was still standing in the same place and closed his eyes for a while. Then he raised his eyes to look at him with a calm tone: "You are driving the wrong way." He stepped forward and walked to Cao Ye's side, raised his hand and closed the room A switch on one side, "The ceiling light is too bright." The incandescent ceiling light went out, leaving only a wall lamp attached to the wall, emitting a warm yellow shimmer.
"Oh... I didn't notice." Cao Ye raised his hand and rubbed the bridge of his nose.
So Liang Sizhe just wanted to lean over to turn on the light? How could he think that Liang Sizhe was going to turn his head and kiss him at that moment? He also took a step back abruptly, thinking about something... It's really embarrassing.
"The film." Liang Sizhe reached out to him.
Cao Ye handed him the hard drive in his hand. Liang Sizhe took it and turned around and walked to the table next to him. He bent down and lifted the laptop screen. content.
But the picture was very blurry, it was gray and white, and it looked a bit strange. Before Cao Ye could see it clearly, Liang Sizhe held the mouse and closed the interface.
The moment of embarrassment just now had not eased, and Cao Ye asked without words: "What are you looking at?"
"Find any movie you want." Liang Sizhe connected the hard drive to the computer.
"What movie?"
"Forgot, I read it before joining the group."
"Oh."
Liang Sizhe found the video file of "The Darkest Choice", dragged it into the player, and turned on the projector.
There are two bean bag lazy sofas placed against the wall, which are very comfortable to lean on. Just as Cao Ye wanted to sit down, he got up and said, "Would you like to ask Xiao Xiaobai to come up?" Then he wanted to go outside, "I'll go downstairs and call him."
"You don't need to go downstairs," Liang Sizhe said, "I'll go." He walked to the door and opened it, leaned out and whistled, and Xiaobai downstairs responded with a "wang", and ran away in a moment. Go upstairs.
Liang Sizhe has been filming in other places all year round, especially Cao Xiuyuan's filming takes a long time, a year or two is a common thing, in the past ten years, he may not be with Xiaobai for more than half of the time, Cao Ye is a little surprised Liang Sizhe To be able to cultivate such a tacit understanding with Xiao Xiaobai.
Xiaoxiaobai entered the house, and Cao Ye whistled at it. Xiaoxiaobai immediately ran over, stopped in front of Cao Ye, and asked for his tail. "So good." Cao Ye rubbed its neck.
The film has already started to be played. The beginning is the scene of Qin Nanming in the casino. The noisy background sound started. From the first cut of the film to the first cut of the supplementary shooting, Cao Ye watched it no less than five times before and after, and even remembered the lines. He didn't look up to watch the film, he was intent on teasing Xiaoxiaobai.
Liang Sizhe went out to the refrigerator next door to get a box of ice cream, came over and handed it to Cao Ye: "I knew you were coming in the afternoon, so Song Qingyan bought it on purpose."
This is like coaxing himself into a child. Cao Ye didn't take the ice cream and looked up at him: "You still have to buy ice cream to serve as my child. I'm not that naive, you can eat it."
"Really?" Liang Sizhe looked at him and smiled, "I took you home that day. When I was looking for milk, I saw a whole layer of ice cream in your refrigerator. I thought you liked it, so I guessed wrong?"
Cao Ye was caught off guard by this face, and he answered bluntly, "Those... that's for entertaining friends."
"Oh," Liang Sizhe smiled without revealing him. "I guessed wrong." He put the ice cream between the two of them, "Put it here, you can eat it if you want." - It made it clear that he didn't believe what Cao Ye said.
Cao Ye lowered his head and continued to tease Xiaoxiaobai. The title of the film came out. The four big characters with great visual impact hit the audience's eyes, and then exploded into a screen full of broken glass. , the broken glass on the floor, and the drunken Scar sitting in a corner of the casino, squinting at the young man in the middle of the casino who was gambling with huge sums of money.
"Who is that person?" He raised his chin in that direction.
As soon as Liang Sizhe's voice came out, Cao Ye stopped teasing the dog and looked up at the screen. Liang Sizhe's face was hidden in the dim light, and when he moved, the light also flowed slowly, stroking the hideous scar on his face.
"That one... is the youngest son of Mr. Qin before Qin Zhong," someone next to him said, "Qin Nanming, the son of Mrs. Sifang."
"How much did you lose tonight?"
"I'll check it out for you." The man said and got up, Scar lit a cigarette and started smoking. Through the white smoke, he stared at Qin Nanming from a distance, his eyes seemed to be staring at a prey to be caught. .
Cao Ye turned his head and glanced at Liang Sizhe, wanting to know what he looked like when he was watching his movie, but saw Liang Sizhe leaning on the sofa, his eyes were closed, and he was not watching the movie at all.
"You don't see it?" Cao Ye asked.
"I read the last edition once."
"This version is your own."
"Well," Liang Sizhe closed his eyes and said, "I rarely watch my own films."
The light on the screen reflected on his face, and it was also a dim and flowing light, but it looked very different from the scar he played.
"Then you just said to watch together?"
"Is this not watching with you?" Liang Sizhe opened his eyes and looked at him.
Cao Ye removed the gaze that fell on his face, and continued to look at the screen, "watching together" and "watching with you"... At first glance, it sounded like the same thing, but Liang Sizhe had such a thing that he didn't know how The ability to answer.
Probably because other people's scenes have been watched many times, so only when he sees Liang Sizhe's appearance, can Cao Ye calm down and watch for a while, and he is always distracted at other times.
Unbelievable to say, this is actually the first time he has watched Liang Sizhe's film. In the film circle, he may be the only one.
After watching it, I know why Liang Sizhe has been sought after by the industry to his current status. Even if it is a make-up shot, his role is not abrupt at all. He can integrate into the atmosphere of the film and other people's performances, and at the same time, he can show Subtle differences and speciality - this inconspicuous subtlety is what Zeng Ran calls "grainy delicacy", also called texture.
How could someone say, "Liang Sizhe without Cao Xiuyuan is nothing"? Cao Ye thought that this film might let them see that Cao Xiuyuan did make Liang Sizhe, but now Liang Sizhe without Cao Xiuyuan is still Liang Sizhe.
Cao Ye took the box of ice cream that Liang Sizhe had placed on the carpet, opened the lid, the edge of the ice cream was a little bit open, and it was easy to scoop out a small piece with a spoon.
He glanced at Liang Sizhe, who seemed to be asleep and didn't pay attention to his movements.
Cao Ye put the scoop of ice cream he dug out into his mouth, and he had to admit that he really liked ice cream, especially the box Liang Sizhe brought over was the brand and flavor he liked. Many habits and preferences when I was young have changed, but probably since I was a child, I have always been afraid of heat, and this somewhat childish preference has always been retained.
Leaning on the sofa and eating ice cream with a fluffy little white next to him, Cao Ye felt that this seemed more comfortable than a small cinema.
The film was dispatched by the police, and they monitored the streets one by one to find the traces of the missing Qin Nanming.
Cao Ye looked at the surveillance screen on the screen, and the video interface that appeared on the screen when Liang Sizhe just turned on the computer flashed in his mind.
The gray and white picture, the angle of view taken from above, was slightly blurred. At that moment, he only felt that the picture was a little strange, but now he thinks about it again, and suddenly understands what is strange—the picture is not like an old black and white film, but it is like Monitor screen.
It's just, how could Liang Sizhe watch the surveillance footage at home? Is it the anti-tracking monitoring at the door
If the surveillance at the door of the house did not admit it directly, but instead lied and said it was a "casual movie"? What's more, the surveillance screen didn't seem to be the one in front of Liang Sizhe's house. Cao Ye recalled it, and it looked like there was a closed elevator door.
Cao Ye's curiosity was fully aroused when he thought of Liang Sizhe watching the surveillance footage at home and lying.
Even though he has reconciled with Liang Sizhe now, he still feels that there are many mysteries hidden in Liang Sizhe.
Thinking about it again, there seems to be a loophole in what Liang Sizhe just said. If it was a movie that I watched before joining the group, it would be normal to forget the title of the movie. "Any movie you can find"
After speculating about Cao Ye, I felt a little bored. Maybe Liang Sizhe was just watching adult movies at home. After all, some romantic action movies of the type really like to do something like elevator py... Thinking about this, Cao Ye wants to laugh a little bit. , Going back and repeating, the actor Liang Sizhe was watching an adult movie at home, was smashed by a friend, and hurriedly closed the interface in a hurry, and found an excuse to prevaricate the past, this causal relationship seems to make sense.
Just as Cao Ye was thinking, Liang Sizhe's cell phone vibrated. He glanced at it and paused - the message was sent by Zheng Yin: "Sizhe, do you have time at eight o'clock in the evening?"
At eight o'clock tonight... Is it an offer to ask Liang Sizhe to go out and talk about film appointments? Cao Ye thought as he stared at the cell phone screen that was quickly darkening.
If he throws Liang Sizhe's phone out now, he shouldn't be able to see the message from Zheng Yin, right? This thought appeared in Cao Ye's mind, and then he felt a little ridiculous. After so many years, he still didn't give up the idea of pulling Liang Sizhe to the same camp. He laughed self-deprecatingly, then took a bite of ice cream and looked up to continue watching the movie.
At the climax of the film, the scene in which Knife Scar races with the police, and Liang Sizhe's fight scene in the rainy night that night appeared in this scene. Although no special effects have been added in the later stage, the whole process is already thrilling enough to watch the fight scenes. Go tough and beautiful.
Probably woken up by the harsh siren in the background, Liang Sizhe moved aside, sat up straighter, and woke up.
He watched the movie for a while, then took the phone, Cao Ye caught a glimpse of him typing on the screen, probably replying to Zheng Yin.
In the remaining 20 minutes of the climax, Liang Sizhe spent most of the time looking up at the film, occasionally lowering his head and replying with a message.
The end credits began to roll, and before Liang Sizhe's news was finished, Cao Ye stood up on the carpet and said, "I'm done reading, I'm going back."
"Let's go now?" Liang Sizhe looked up at him, put his phone on the carpet, and stood up.
"Well, the company still has something to deal with." Cao Ye bowed down and touched Xiao Bai who was still sleeping, then got up and left the room.
"What project will Lomon start after?" Liang Sizhe asked when he went downstairs.
"Business secrets, do you want to inquire about the news?" Cao Ye turned his face to look at him.
"Yeah, let's see if there is a suitable film."
"I heard that big directors like Song Kai, Fan Zequn, and Yue Keqi are all interested in asking you out, but you're missing a movie?"
"The big director's film may not be suitable. Lin Min will be rejected by you?"
"Not all of them are suitable, but it's unlikely that none of them are suitable... Take a step back, if all of them are not suitable," Cao Ye went down the stairs, paused, turned to face Liang Sizhe, "Cao Xiuyuan's films will always be Is it appropriate?"
They looked at each other for a moment. Cao Ye thought that he still couldn't hold back and said this. After so many years, he still brooded about it. He just minds that Liang Sizhe didn't stand with him back then.
Liang Sizhe stared at him for a while, then said, "Cao Ye, you came here last night, didn't you make a special trip to send me the movie?"
Cao Ye turned his face away and didn't answer.
"I think you came twice, and you should have stated your real purpose, otherwise you will come to think about it a few more times, right? I don't mind if you come here often... It's just, that "Try One More Word" you When do you plan to delay it to start?"
Hearing that, Cao Ye suddenly looked at him—Liang Sizhe knew the real purpose of his visit last night
"I wonder how I knew that?" Liang Sizhe smiled, "The time you came was when your dad and the others were photographed leaving the terminal by the media. I can still guess the causal connection. As for the film Well... I asked Cheng Duan."
"Okay, now that you know it," Cao Ye's heart skipped a beat. He thought it was time to say it. Five years ago, Cao Ye had nothing. It was wise for Liang Sizhe not to go with him at that time, but now he has Luo Meng, he has formed a reliable team and chose a solid script. Why can't he compete with Cao Xiuyuan again
"Then I won't hide it. I came here last night. I really wanted to invite you to appear in "Try One More Word". Don't rush to give me an answer. I'll tell you the reason why I invited you first."
"Okay," Liang Sizhe looked at him, "you say."
"You can see the role of Appeng after reading the script. He is an underground boxer and the father of a seven-year-old boy. I think this role is very suitable for you, because he has a high level and will have a very special chemical reaction with you. And I've seen your fight dramas and think you should have such a movie that highlights fight dramas.
"The director of this film is also very reliable, Du Zhui, you should have heard of it. The film is not many but very inspirational. Last year, he won the Best Newcomer Director Award. I worked with him once, and he is very clear about what he wants. What is it? You are very capable in controlling the budget and scheduling the scene. Since you like Zeng Ran, I think you should also feel good about Du Zhui.
"Of course, Cao Xiuyuan's films shouldn't be too bad. Is he a talented director, and you two have worked together very well. But I remember you mentioned it in the car on the day of the banquet. In fact, you also care about what others say.' Without Cao Xiuyuan, Liang Sizhe will not go far at all', Liang Sizhe, you come to play Lomon's film, and I will prove to everyone with you that without Cao Xiuyuan, you are still Liang Sizhe, and you can stand on the award ceremony as well as win the best actor. ."
"Don't be in a hurry to agree," Cao Ye interrupted when Liang Sizhe seemed to be about to speak, "that would only make me feel that you had to agree to this film out of pity for me five years ago. I can't find a more suitable person to play for the time being, but this is different from "Darkest Choice". There are many good actors fighting for this role. I just think no one is more suitable than you. I hope you have a good look at it. The script, of course, you can also compare the script Cao Xiuyuan gave you, and then give me an answer, which is fair to each other."
He said a lot in one breath, and after he finished speaking, he was surprised that he had found so many reasons for it without a belly draft. And while he was saying these words, Liang Sizhe listened patiently and didn't interrupt him at all.
"Okay," Liang Sizhe waited for him to finish, looked at him and said, "Give me the script, and I'll give you an answer after reading it."
