After arriving home, Yin Chang sat alone on the sofa and recalled Yao Manhuai's words.
He remembered that three years ago, when his photos were exposed by the paparazzi for the first time, Yin Dong had a great reaction. He felt that his father didn't want him to get involved in this circle.
Indeed, there are many negative things in the entertainment industry. But during this period of time, he also saw countless fans on the Internet mourning for his father from the bottom of his heart, reluctant to let him go.
Yao Manhuai is right. Although Yin Dong sacrificed his time with him, his film and television works have influenced the audience, and his efforts have also helped many people.
Tonight, there are so many celebrities mourning his father, comforting him, encouraging him... This is enough to prove that Yin Dong's life as an actor is successful.
But because of this, Yin Chang has no confidence in himself.
To be honest, Yao Manhuai's last sentence "I will be by your side, and will always walk with you" is more attractive to him than those high-ranking reasons...
Because since childhood, every time Yao Manhuai showed up to help him solve his troubles, Yin Chang had already regarded her as a reliable family member.
For the past two days, he was also worried that Yao Manhuai would no longer care about him when his father was gone. It wasn't until tonight that he realized that he also had the value to keep Yao Manhuai.
But, would Yao Manhuai say that just because of Yin Dong's face
…
Yin Chang let out a long sigh, leaned back, and accidentally pressed the remote control of the TV that had fallen into the crack of the sofa, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
A line of words "Reading" appeared on the TV screen. Yin Chang thought it was a video movie his father usually watched at home, and was about to turn it off. Unexpectedly, a picture with a sense of age jumped out of the screen in the next second. Accompanied by a familiar voice: "Xiao Chang, look here!"
——It was Yin Dong, who was holding a DV to shoot the boy with his head bowed and playing with models, and this boy was Yin Chang when he was five years old.
"Xiao Chang, what are you playing?"
"Transformers." Yin Chang answered in a soft childish voice while tinkering with his toys.
"Is Transformers fun?" Yin Dong asked again.
"It's fun!" At that time, Yin Chang's words were already clear, but his tone was still very slow, "But it's not fun to be alone."
"Why isn't it fun to be alone?"
Yin Chang didn't answer, and after about ten seconds, he asked, "Dad, when will you give me a little brother?"
Yin Dong, who couldn't see his face, said with a low laugh: "Father doesn't even have a lover, how can I give it to your little brother?"
Yin Chang: "Then go and find one!"
Yin Dong: "Dad is so busy, how can I have time to look for it?"
Yin Chang fiddled with the Transformers twice, but stopped talking.
While continuing to pat him, Yin Dong asked nicely, "Why do you want little brother so much?"
Yin Chang then turned his head and looked at the DV camera with big eyes: "In this way, when you go to work in the future, you will have a younger brother to play with me!"
Yin Dong said helplessly, "Isn't there Fiona to accompany you?"
Yin Chang puffed up his mouth: "Fiona can't, she's an adult!"
Yin Dong tried to enlighten him: "You still have friends from school."
Yin Chang said anxiously: "My friends have to go home after school. They all have parents, brothers and sisters when they go home. I am the only one!"
Seeing that his eyes were flushed with grievance, Yin Dong immediately said: "Oh, don't cry, don't cry, dad will play with you!"
The screen flickered for a while, and then the screen went black.
Yin Chang stared at the screen silently, and before he had time to think about it, the next video started again.
"Xiao Chang." It was still Yin Dong's voice.
On the screen is the back of Yin Chang watching cartoons. He is wearing a blue T-shirt with a Pikachu logo on his back. He seems to be six or seven years old.
"Xiao Chang!" Yin Dong called him again.
Yin Chang stared at the TV intently, as if he didn't hear Yin Dong's call.
"Xiao Chang, look here, Dad will take a video for you, don't you like taking videos?"
"I don't like it..." His mind was not on Yin Dong at all.
"Don't you like it? Then Dad won't take pictures of you, can you take pictures of Dad?" Yin Dong persevered.
Yin Chang refused without thinking, "I don't want it."
"Is this "Pokémon"? You've watched it several times, why do you still watch it?" Yin Dong moved a little closer and coaxed, "Don't watch it, come on, Dad will teach you how to play Video."
Yin Chang finally couldn't bear the disturbance: "You are so annoying!"
Yin Dong: "..."
The camera shot Yin Chang's back for another ten seconds or so. During this period, Yin Dong didn't speak again, and Yin Chang didn't look back. Only the animation on the TV continued to play, as if playing a silent movie.
Yin Chang outside the screen was also sitting there in a daze, completely unable to remember the past between himself and his father.
After a while, the next video began again.
Yin Dong holding the DV reappeared and knocked on Yin Chang's room door with one hand.
"Come in." A hoarse voice came from inside.
The door opened, and I saw a young man sitting on a swivel chair with his back facing Yin Dong, and turned his head when he heard the sound, with big earphones hanging around his neck.
"Xiao Chang..." Yin Dong asked unnaturally, "Any plans for this afternoon?"
"About Evan to watch a movie, what's wrong?" At that time, his facial features had grown out, his nose bridge was straight, his brows were sharp, and his eyes were starry. However, as a teenager, he seemed to be in the stage of changing his voice, and his voice sounded strange.
"I'm leaving this afternoon." Yin Dong said.
"Oh," his expression was neither happy nor sad, and his tone was calm, "Have a good trip."
"That..." Yin Dong seemed to want to say something.
Only then did Yin Chang discover the DV in Yin Dong's hand, and his brows frowned slightly: "Are you taking pictures of me?"
"Sorry, I forgot to turn it off." When the screen went black, the recording ended.
In the last paragraph, Yin Chang was impressed.
He remembered that it was his first year in middle school, and the school held a Family night that night, and all the classmates would bring their parents to the dinner.
He didn't tell Yin Dong, because he overheard Yin Dong calling with the crew, and tried to postpone the work schedule, just to come here for two days to see him, and Yin Dong can get to work in time for the plane in the afternoon Last flight.
He knew that Yin Dong was going to leave in the afternoon, and he felt very uncomfortable, but no one could complain about this kind of grievance, because even if he said it, he would not be able to change the status quo, but would only increase his father's troubles.
He lied to Yin Dong that he wanted to go to the movies with Evan, but he was afraid that Yin Dong would find out, so he slipped out early and wandered outside alone all afternoon.
…
Seeing these videos now, Yin Chang couldn't help but be amazed.
It turned out that he had expressed his loneliness to Yin Dong so bluntly when he was a child;
It turned out that Yin Dong also implicitly tested whether he liked to express himself in front of the camera;
It turned out that he had never been rebellious, but he always thought that he could endure it well, but in front of his father, who is the film king, it was probably the most clumsy acting skills.
Thinking of Yin Dong secretly recording these scenes without him noticing, and playing and replaying them over and over again alone in this empty apartment, he feels his heart is being pulled...
Yin Chang covered his face, and slowly slid to sit on the carpet, a trace of water spilled from the gap between his fingers, and slid down silently.
Early the next morning, Yin Chang sent Yao Manhuai a message: "Aunt Yao, I've made up my mind, I want to try this route."
In the past, Yin Dong protected him so well that he was able to hide abroad and enjoy a comfortable life for so many years. Since he decided to take over his father's business, he must have some understanding of this circle. Yao Manhuai's suggestion must have her reasons.
Yao Manhuai confirmed: "Have you figured it out? Are there any other questions?"
Yin Chang: "I'm just a little worried that I won't do well enough."
Yao Manhuai smiled and said, "Xiao Chang, no one can be perfect at the beginning, but you can keep working hard and let everyone watch you get better little by little. Well, don't think things are so difficult, As I said, you are not alone, no matter what the situation is, I will carry it with you."
Yin Chang: "Yes."
Yao Manhuai said again: "However, since you have decided to take this path, you have to suspend your studies and return to China for development. In the past few days, you should take time to deal with the affairs in Pasadena and plan to move back to China. I will as soon as possible Pick an agent to help you do these things."
Yin Chang was taken aback, "Aren't you taking me with you?"
Yao Manhuai: "Now I have to take care of the management of New Star Entertainment. I can't take care of you like I used to take care of your father, but don't worry, I will personally control all the big decisions related to your development. I will take care of you now. The selected agent is more similar to the role of a life assistant.”
Yin Chang: "Okay..."
