The night depicts Liang Sizhe's silhouette, which is obviously just an ordinary picture, but for some reason, Cao Ye feels that Liang Sizhe in front of him looks fragile and lonely.
It's like the boy who was on the rooftop ten years ago, fiddling with the acoustic guitar with his fingers jerky.
In the past ten years, Liang Sizhe has gone from a teenager with nothing to the height that countless industry insiders look up to, and has become the arrogant young actor that the media is happy to mention, but this moment Liang Sizhe seems to have never changed. .
Cao Ye stood there and watched Liang Sizhe for a while, then walked over and sat down next to him.
He couldn't guess what Liang Sizhe was thinking, but he always felt that the current Liang Sizhe looked the same as ten years ago.
The beginning of September has come to the beginning of autumn. Recently, the weather has cooled down a bit. The altitude on the mountain is high, and when the wind blows, it is actually a little cool.
Their arms touched each other, and they could feel each other's body heat.
For a while, neither of them spoke. There was silence on the mountain, and the rustling of the wind blowing through the leaves rustled in my ears, which sounded somewhat like the sound of pattering rain.
Liang Sizhe smoked silently by the side. He took the tin foil from the RV, and occasionally flicked the cigarette ash twice on the edge, but there was no other action.
The tin foil tray was not big, Cao Ye didn't know how long Liang Sizhe had been out, but the bottom of the tray was covered with soot. Liang Sizhe always seems to be like this. He doesn't usually smoke, but once he starts smoking, he will take one after another, and he will not give up until all the cigarettes in his hand are exhausted.
After a while, Cao Ye spoke up first: "Didn't you say that you don't usually carry cigarettes with you?"
"Well," Liang Sizhe said, "it was provided in the RV, so I took a box out."
"Are you used to it?"
"If you're addicted to smoking, you can't get used to it."
"Why didn't you smoke in the tent? It's still quite cold outside."
"Go out and get some air. You have to beware of the paparazzi taking pictures wherever you go. It's very nice and clean." After smoking a cigarette, Liang Sizhe twisted the butt out in the tin foil tray, and took another one out of the cigarette case. bite in the mouth.
He was holding the lighter, and it lit with a soft "click". The flames jumped up. He was about to lower his head and approached to light a cigarette. Cao Ye raised his hand and smoked the cigarette from his mouth.
Liang Sizhe released the button of the lighter and turned his face to look at him.
Cao Ye took the cigarette case in his hand again: "Stop smoking, take back all the quits at one time, is this called quitting smoking?"
"There's more to quitting than that." Liang Sizhe looked at him, his eyes flickering in the gloomy night, after a while he looked back and looked into the distance, "However, since you say that, it counts as No more smoking."
After a while, Liang Sizhe asked again: "I was in Yin Si, is the video tape you recorded still still there?" , The time of each meeting was very short, and they often separated before they had time to ask. Later, they didn't ask because they didn't dare to ask, for fear that Cao Ye would resist mentioning the time they spent together day and night.
But tonight Cao Ye said that he wanted to go back to that time, which was somewhat unexpected by Liang Sizhe, but it makes sense after thinking about it carefully. Cao Ye probably closed all his emotions to Cao Xiuyuan and Zheng Yin before that happened.
"I can't remember." Cao Ye lowered his eyes, the cigarette cut from Liang Sizhe's mouth rolled a few times between his fingers, "Probably at home abroad."
Liang Sizhe said "Oh" and didn't ask any more questions.
Cao Ye didn't know why he lied, but he actually knew where the videotape was. After leaving Yinsi that year, he went to study film editing and edited those fragmentary clips into a documentary. It was the first film he edited. There was only one person in it, and the only protagonist was Liang Sizhe. He watched those videos repeatedly, added subtitles to them, and found suitable background music. He originally wanted to give Liang Sizhe a nineteenth birthday present, but after returning to China that summer, he witnessed the scene of Cao Xiuyuan and Zheng Yin.
After that, he put the videotape on the shelf and never saw it again. For some reason, he seemed to be a little scared to open the videotape. Sometimes he also misses the time of Yin Si. After witnessing Liang Sizhe's first time winning the best actor, he returned to his home in the United States. He originally wanted to take out the videotape and have a look, but before the picture came out, the voice rang first. When he got up - "Did you miss me? I miss you so much, Brother Sizhe", he immediately closed the video interface with the mouse.
When editing the video, he thought that he would be very happy to see each other again after a year, so he deliberately cut this sentence in the video to the very beginning, but when he opened it again, his mood changed, he seemed not to Dare to face the self at that time, and never tried to open the videotape since then.
Cao Ye changed the subject: "Why is the phone turned off?"
"It's all the media who came to ask about the scandal. When they were upset, they closed it."
"Tired?" Cao Ye picked up a branch and scratched on the ground.
"Um?"
"Isn't it tiring these years?" Cao Ye asked more completely.
"Why do you ask that?" Liang Sizhe glanced at him sideways.
"I wanted to ask this a long time ago," he held the branch in his hand and scratched aimlessly on the ground, "I didn't discuss it with you before I left Yin Si, but after thinking about it, maybe I should Let yourself choose, after all, being an actor has to pay the price of freedom and privacy, and it's not necessarily a good way to go... What are you looking at me like that?"
Liang Sizhe smiled, looked away, and sighed, "Cao Ye, you..."
Others envy him and look up to him, only the person around him who gave him the opportunity back then would ask, "Isn't it tiring these years?"
This person is really... How can he be so innocent that he is both cute and cruel, leaving himself helpless to such a point
"Let's go for a walk together," Liang Sizhe stood up against the ground, "Do you often come here for racing?"
"I don't come here often, but occasionally." Cao Ye also stood up with him, and the two walked along the road they drove by earlier.
"Call me if you come later." Liang Sizhe stopped a few steps away from the cliff and said.
"You also want to race?"
"I'm not interested in drag racing, but the road looks dangerous. I just want to die together," Liang Sizhe said with a smile, "otherwise, there will be no one in this world who will ask me if I am tired, and I will be alive. It's boring."
Cao Ye was stunned for a moment, then forced a smile: "To say such unlucky words, didn't I drive well just now?"
"More than ten years ago," Liang Sizhe said after a pause, and said in a very ordinary tone, "My parents were in a car accident today. My father has been in the car for nearly 20 years, and no one expected an accident. When the accident happened, I My mother came over to me and blocked the impact of that moment for me, so I only broke a few fingers of my left hand. After that, I stayed home for nearly a year, not knowing what to do in the future, until Teacher Cao He came to the door and said he wanted to take me to Beijing to see if I could act... So Cao Ye, Teacher Cao is very kind to me, I couldn't go to Yinsi without him, and I couldn't just sit back and ignore him when he had an accident."
Cao Ye looked at him, and the night wind blew the ends of his hair slightly, just like the young man who stood on the dilapidated Yinsi Street and looked up at a row of outdated doors.
"I know," Cao Ye looked away, "you have your difficulties."
"Later I heard a saying that everyone is like a moon, always has a dark side, and is never seen by others. I think that's what Teacher Cao is like. He is dark in his private life, but in movies This side shines... Sometimes I feel conflicted too, do you know what he said to me when we met that night?"
"Do not want to know."
"He heard that I was going to play the film you submitted, and he didn't keep me at all, but let me play it well."
"That's what he said," Cao Ye replied bluntly, "You have to act well."
Liang Sizhe laughed, seeing that he didn't want to talk about this topic, he followed him and said, "Yes, I wanted to act well."
The two returned to the tent and got into their sleeping bags.
Although I live in a large tent, the space is not necessarily spacious. The two sleeping bags were placed side by side. I thought that Cao Ye would be uncomfortable sleeping like this, but after lying down, I found that there was no discomfort at all.
Liang Sizhe didn't lie down, he took the script and sat aside, holding a pen to write and draw on it.
"The script hasn't been finished yet?" Cao Ye asked him lying down.
"I've finished watching it, but I haven't seen it through yet," Liang Sizhe said, turning over a page of the script, "You should be familiar with the lines, and carefully read the part about Xiaomeng. "
"You're going back to the crew tomorrow?"
"yes."
"I'll take you to the airport."
"Okay," Liang Sizhe looked down at him, "but I might have to go to my agent first."
"If I go to her, can I take Xiao Xiaobai over to raise her?"
"Can."
"Then... good night, Liang Sizhe." Cao Ye said, the tone was the same as when he was at Lanyan.
The pen in Liang Sizhe's hand paused: "Good night."
Cao Ye closed his eyes. He thought he had to get sleepy earlier, otherwise Liang Sizhe would lie down after reading the script and toss and turn again, which might disturb Liang Sizhe. But I don't know if it was because of the exhaustion of a lot of physical strength climbing the mountain during the day, and the sleepiness quickly hit him. After a while, he fell asleep.
The sound of breathing in his ears gradually became even, and Liang Sizhe closed the script and put it aside. Reading the script is just an excuse, the real purpose is to make Cao Ye feel more comfortable when he is with him, otherwise he will feel awkward and uncomfortable, and he may not feel any better. It is better to do the tricks in advance.
Liang Sizhe looked down at Cao Ye. Cao Ye slept with his back to him, and the cotton T-shirt on his body was propped up by his protruding shoulder blades to support two angular bags, which looked no different from Yin Si Shi.
Ten years ago, he turned off the light and lay in bed, often looking at the boy opposite the bed in the moonlight. At that time, he thought that such a day would be one day less, but he did not expect such an opportunity ten years later.
Maybe it was because he was too greedy. When they didn't communicate with each other a few months ago, they thought that reconciliation was an extravagant hope, but now that they have really reconciled, they couldn't restrain themselves from wanting to gain further and monopolize them.
Most of the time, it is human nature to take an inch, but greed is not enough to swallow an elephant...
Acting in the play, and acting outside the play, maybe while acting, one day I will be able to become self-deceiving like Cao Ye. I really don't know if I should look forward to that day.
Liang Sizhe woke up early the next morning. Every year at this time, his mood would reach the lowest ebb, and he would never sleep well.
He sat up and turned his face to look at Cao Ye. Cao Ye was still fast asleep. He was not very honest when he slept. Half of his upper body came out of his sleeping bag. The neckline of his T-shirt was slanted irregularly, revealing a large piece of skin around his collarbone.
Liang Sizhe looked at him for a while, lifted his sleeping bag and got up, went out to wash, calmed down his body's reaction when he slept, and returned to the tent.
Cao Ye may have turned over halfway, and now he is in a sleeping position lying on his back, with a sizable small tent propped up under him.
Lin Yan called Cao Ye's name from a distance, and after calling "Ye Zi" several times, Cao Ye finally opened his eyes from his deep sleep, frowned slightly, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Where is this..."
As soon as he turned his head, Liang Sizhe was sitting on the side, pulling his hair back and tying it up.
Cao Ye's sleepy eyes woke up immediately, but his voice hadn't returned, and he said hoarsely, "Morning, why did you wake up so early?"
Liang Sizhe freed one hand, took off the black hair rope that was biting between his teeth, and tied his hair: "We will join the group in a few days, and the biological clock will be adjusted soon."
"Oh..." Cao Ye raised his hand and put his hand on his forehead. He hadn't slept so soundly for a long time, feeling that his brain couldn't wake up for a moment.
"Cough." Liang Sizhe coughed deliberately, Cao Ye turned his face to look at him for unknown reasons, and saw Liang Sizhe glanced under him, he followed the direction, and after reacting, he suddenly sat up and tugged. Clothes, got up from the sleeping bag, pretended to be natural: "That... I'll go wash first."
"Go." Liang Sizhe said calmly. As soon as Cao Ye left, he couldn't help laughing, it was so cute.
Although he knew that he should pay attention to the content and scale of the joke, he couldn't help but tease Cao Ye and then observe his reaction.
But didn't you often tease him like this ten years ago? Not too much.
On the return journey, Liang Sizhe drove the car. He offered to drive, but Cao Ye had no objection. Lin Yan didn't take the opportunity to ask him face-to-face, and sent a WeChat message: "How was last night?"
Cao Ye ignored it. He sat in the passenger seat, took out his mobile phone and swiped it for a while. The news on Liang Sizhe was all about him. Various we-media rubbed off on this wave of popularity from different angles, and the public opinion was also carnival.
- "From the actress sleeping to the young model, Liang Sizhe's aesthetics are really inclusive."
- "Didn't you say that Nenmo is a misrepresentation? Her real identity is Nortel's acting student, but she can join the group and play with the actor in the third year. Shouldn't this resource be given by Liang Sizhe?"
- "I heard that Liang Sizhe pushed Cao Xiuyuan's film for his new girlfriend. It turned out to be true."
- "So the audience bought the tickets just to see him fall in love with his new girlfriend? He has been so proud since Cannes, all his good talents were wasted by him, why didn't Cao Xiuyuan wake him up?"
- "Cao Xiuyuan scolded him, just kidding. When Liang Sizhe fell in love with Hu Yusi at the age of nineteen, Cao Xiuyuan said in an interview that actors should fall in love. Maybe now he is applauding Liang Sizhe and cheering."
- "This master and apprentice really cherish each other. Cao Xiuyuan was almost planted because of that dirty thing. Isn't it still the scene of Liang Sizhe's rescue? To put it bluntly, they are the same thing."
- "Some people's words are too ugly. Cao Xiuyuan was sleeping with an underage boy back then, and it was also involved in sexual assault. Liang Sizhe is in love with your own will. There is no need to splash dirty water so unreasonably, right?"
- "But was Liang Sizhe the only actor who made public to Cao Xiuyuan's platform back then? It's not wrong to say that he was wronged all the way. I'll say it clearly, Liang Sizhe's Cannes Best Actor is not honorable. Fans still need to wash what kindness and righteousness to repay. , don't waste those words like that."
— "Is there a conclusion about sexual assault? The police issued notices back then that there was no direct evidence of sexual assault. After so many years, contemporary netizens are still enforcing justice."
I didn't want to look down, I couldn't help but look down. Cao Ye swiped down the comments on the screen, one by one, scrolling down like a self-abuse.
That saying is right, everyone is the moon and has a dark side. But all the dark sides of Cao Xiuyuan were directed at him, and he had been shrouded in the shadow he brought for several years. He no longer knew how to bypass this dark side and go to the other side to see how Cao Xiuyuan was shining.
The phone rang suddenly, and the name "Xu Yunchu" popped up on the screen.
"Your agent called me." Cao Ye turned to look at Liang Sizhe, "Do you want to answer?"
"Go ahead," Liang Sizhe said as he drove the car, "press the speakerphone."
When the call was connected, Xu Yunchu's voice spread in the car: "Mr. Cao, are you and Si Zhe together?"
"What's wrong?" Cao Ye didn't say it directly, "Is it about clarifying the scandal?"
"I've been dealing with scandals for many years. There's no need to find him. It's about the dog. It's urgent. You ask him to answer the phone."
"I'm here, what's the matter with Yunchu?" Liang Sizhe asked.
"What's wrong with Xiao Xiaobai?" Cao Ye said at the same time.
"It suddenly vomited all of a sudden this morning, foaming at the mouth after it vomited clean, and now it was sent to the hospital, and the doctor didn't dare to give an accurate word," Xu Yunchu said anxiously, "Si Zhe, do you want to come and have a look?"
"Give me the address," Liang Sizhe said with a change of expression, and frowned, "I'll go right over."
