From that day to the end, Xia Xingcheng was still embarrassed to open the video, even the promotional poster, Yu Haiyang held Fang Jianyuan's face, Fang Jianyuan burst into tears, the two stared at each other in pain, and Xia Xingcheng was embarrassed to take a closer look.
To others, this is just a movie. To Xia Xingcheng, every episode of the movie is like a true love experience between him and Yang Youming.
The short and sweet vacation officially came to an end, and Xia Xingcheng and Yang Youming flew back one day after another.
Xia Xingcheng's itinerary was not notified to fans, but he was recognized by several young girls at the airport, causing a small-scale riot.
If it is said that his popularity has continued to rise ever since he filmed "Far Away", then his popularity exploded when the promotional film for "Far Away" came out.
Many young girls didn't even see the movie, and they had huge expectations for the movie based on the flashing scenes and the names of Yang Youming and He Zheng, and began to pay attention to the young actor Xia Xingcheng.
For a time, Xia Xingcheng's development momentum was rapid, just like a new traffic niche.
To this end, Huang Jixin was summoned by Cai Meiting several times and told him to make adjustments to Xia Xingcheng's work, including the choice of endorsements, magazine shooting, and variety shows.
Xia Xingcheng was very excited and at the same time very uneasy about this sudden large-scale attention.
The more attention you get and the more people expect from you, the better you have to perform so you don't let people down.
Xia Xingcheng was even worried that when the audience watched the whole movie "Far and Away", the parity for him would not be so high.
After he told Yang Youming about these ideas, Yang Youming said to him: "It is better to hone your acting skills if you are in the mood to worry about the sky."
Xia Xingcheng grabbed Yang Youming's sleeve, "Brother Ming, what do you think of my acting?"
Yang Youming said: "If you only consider the performances in "Far," of course, there is no problem, but I haven't seen your other works, so I can't give you an evaluation."
Xia Xingcheng was suddenly unhappy, "I've acted in so many idol dramas before, and you haven't seen any of them? I've seen all your movies."
Yang Youming was silent for a while and said, "You better let me go."
Xia Xingcheng has been busy completing the backlog for the past two days, mainly product advertisements, and a magazine shoot. Next, he will participate in a variety show, and the recording time is not long.
The IP fantasy drama Huang Jixin mentioned to him before has not been decided for a while. When he asked Yang Youming for his opinion, Yang Youming did not recommend him to make such a drama.
"Even if it's a TV series, don't put yourself back in the position of an idol actor. I don't think you need to repeat this kind of role that is unchanged and challenging."
Xia Xingcheng hugged his waist, "It's easy for you to say, it's good for a little actor like us to have a film."
Many times it is not whether he wants to, but whether he has a choice.
Yang Youming kissed his forehead, "Let's take a look."
After more than half a month, He Zheng came back with the trophy for the best film at the European Film Festival, and the second promotional video of "Far Away" also appeared on the Internet.
This promotional video has many scenes of two people making out. Fang Jianyuan and Yu Haiyang swing their arms in slow motion at the bottom of the swimming pool. When Fang Jianyuan suddenly puts his head above the water, the camera cuts to the face of Yu Haiyang's wife Xu Jia. She asked, "Does Yu Haiyang live here?", and then struggled fiercely and painfully. Fang Jianyuan shouted in the phone booth, "Get out!" and hung up the phone.
This promotional video spread faster than the first one, causing a lot of retweets, and many people cried and wanted to go to the cinema to watch the movie.
Wherever Xia Xingcheng appeared, he could attract a large number of fans to support him, and even when he attended a business event, he was blocked most of the way by fans.
In comparison, Yang Youming is much more leisurely. It's not that he has not attracted new fans, but he doesn't care. At this time, he still stays at home every day to exercise, read books, cook for Xia Xingcheng, and does not appear in front of any media.
After dinner that day, Xia Xingcheng was lying on the sofa using his mobile phone to scan Weibo when he heard Yang Youming's mobile phone ringing on the coffee table in the living room. He turned to look and found that it was actually He Zheng's call.
He quickly turned over and got up from the sofa, took his mobile phone into the kitchen, and said to Yang Youming, who was still using a rag to clean the oil stains on the stove, "Director He's phone."
Yang Youming's hands were still wet, he said to Xia Xingcheng, "You help me connect and let me hear."
Xia Xingcheng swiped his finger across the screen, connected the call and handed it to Yang Youming's ear. Yang Youming turned his head to the ear and moved closer to the receiver. At the same time, his hands were still busy. He said, "Hello? Are you back?"
This time, He Zheng took the film to participate in the competition section of the film festival. The two leading actors Yang Youming and Xia Xingcheng did not go. Many news were also known from the Internet.
He Zheng over the phone didn't know what to say.
Yang Youming has been listening quietly, making a soft "um" from time to time.
Later, Xia Xingcheng got tired of raising his hands, Yang Youming put the rag aside, wiped his hands on the apron, and took the phone to continue listening.
Xia Xingcheng didn't leave the kitchen. He tried his best to get close to Yang Youming's phone receiver, wanting to hear what He Zheng said, but unfortunately he couldn't hear it clearly.
Yang Youming was doing two things with one mind. While listening to He Zheng's words, seeing Xia Xingcheng approaching, he lowered his head and rubbed his forehead with his dry lips.
After a while, Yang Youming said, "Okay, you can decide the time, I'm fine."
Then the phone hangs up.
Xia Xingcheng looked at him and was about to ask him what He Zheng said when he heard the phone ringing on the sofa. He hurriedly ran outside, grabbed the phone and shouted in the direction of the kitchen, "He Zheng called me!"
Yang Youming walked out of the kitchen slowly, untied the rope of his apron, took off the apron and put it on the back of the chair.
Xia Xingcheng was suddenly a little nervous, and when he picked it up, he heard He Zheng's voice: "Is Xingcheng okay recently?"
Xia Xingcheng has always been very grateful to He Zheng for asking him to act in the movie "Far Away", he is like a primary school student who suddenly met his teacher, his body stood up unconsciously, and his tone was very respectful: "I Very good, congratulations to Director He!" He was talking about the award-winning movie.
He Zheng laughed twice, "You also have a share of this award, we should be happy together."
He Zheng had invited Xia Xingcheng and Yang Youming to walk the red carpet together before. Xia Xingcheng was unable to go because of the work arrangement, while Yang Youming did not want to go. After all, they were not shortlisted for actor awards.
Xia Xingcheng really felt honored, and he couldn't help but laugh.
He Zheng said: "I just came back, and I haven't had time to contact you. Now that I'm busy, I want to invite you out for a meal in the past two days. Don't you know it's convenient?"
Xia Xingcheng glanced at Yang Youming and said to He Zheng, "Convenient, I have no work arrangements this week."
He Zheng made an "um" and said, "Okay, I'll ask You Ming when it's convenient, and I'll let you know when the time and place are determined."
Xia Xingcheng said quickly, "No problem, Director He."
After he finished speaking, Xia Xingcheng took a deep breath and hung up the phone. He still held the phone in his hand and turned to look at Yang Youming, "He Zheng just invited you to dinner, right?"
Yang Youming nodded, walked to the sofa and sat down on the armrest.
Xia Xingcheng felt uneasy, he knelt on one leg on the sofa, grabbed Yang Youming's arm and said, "He doesn't know about us yet."
Yang Youming looked at him and said strangely after a while, "Why do I think you're a little afraid of him?"
Xia Xingcheng was taken aback by the question, and said, "I'm a little afraid of him."
Yang Youming said, "You used to be a little afraid of me too."
Xia Xingcheng realized that what he said was not a question but a statement, he couldn't help frowning and thought about it before saying, "I used to be afraid that you were normal. You are such a big name, and I am a small actor."
Yang Youming smiled, "I was much more obedient then." Then, before Xia Xingcheng answered his words, he said again, "But it's fine now, it's my pet."
Xia Xingcheng couldn't help blushing when he heard this sentence, he raised his hand and hugged Yang Youming, feeling that Yang Youming also put his arms around his waist, and whispered into Yang Youming's ear: "You say this, I will listen to you. It will be tough."
Yang Youming smiled and said, "Oh? Then I'm really not sure about your point."
Xia Xingcheng also smiled, holding Yang Youming's face and kissing him.
In the photo Jiang Zihe took for them before, one of the two small photo frames was left in Yang Youming's old house, and the other was brought back by them and placed on the bedside table in the current bedroom. It was the photo of Yang Youming kissing Xia Xingcheng's eyes.
Before going to bed, Xia Xingcheng sat on the bed, stretched out his hand to take a look at the photo, and asked Yang Youming, "You said that we should go together with He Zheng, or should we go separately?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two mobile phones on the bedside tables on both sides rang. Xia Xingcheng put the photo back, reached out and picked up the mobile phone, and saw that He Zheng sent a time and address on WeChat, followed by an OK
He turned his head to look at Yang Youming's mobile phone screen, and found that it was the exact same content, so he said, "Did he post it in a group?"
Yang Youming was half-lying and did not reply immediately, but asked Xia Xingcheng, "Are you ok?"
Xia Xingcheng glanced at the schedule sent to him by Huang Jixin, and said, "I have a visit in the afternoon, but it's ok in the evening."
Yang Youming immediately replied to He Zheng: "OK."
Xia Xingcheng responded with the same two letters. After he replied, he looked at Yang Youming, "I have a job that afternoon, so we can only separate?"
Yang Youming threw his phone beside the pillow, moved his stiff neck after leaning on the head of the bed for a long time, and said, "You just don't want to go with me, do you?"
"I didn't!" Xia Xingcheng's reaction was more intense than Yang Youming imagined. He turned to face Yang Youming, "Don't you know what I'm thinking? How can you say that to me?"
Yang Youming reached out and hugged him: "I'm sorry, I was wrong."
Xia Xingcheng angrily rested his head on Yang Youming's chest.
Yang Youming hugged him and stroked his hair, "It's all my fault, don't be angry, I'll pick you up when your work is over, and we'll go see He Zheng together."
Xia Xingcheng looked up at him, hesitantly nodded, and said, "Okay."
On the afternoon of the appointment with He Zheng, after Xia Xingcheng finished work, Huang Jixin drove him to a secluded underground parking lot nearby. Xia Xingcheng got out of the car and got into a car where Yang Youming was waiting for him.
When he opened the car door to accompany Xia Xingcheng to get off, Huang Jixin complained, "It's like connecting with an underground party."
Xia Xingcheng turned back and glared at him: "Didn't you ask for it?"
Huang Jixin said: "I'm not for you yet!"
Xia Xingcheng had no shortage of masks, sunglasses and hats, covering his entire face tightly. He opened the passenger door of Yang Youming's car and sat in. Before closing the door, he gritted his teeth and said to Huang Jixin, "It's hard, it's hard, it's you."
The door slammed shut.
At this time, it was the rush hour, and they lined up slowly in the traffic flow on the road. Xia Xingcheng didn't speak the whole time, and put his head on the window glass and quietly looked at the car in front.
Yang Youming only wore a hat, and when he stopped to wait for the red light, he asked him, "Are you nervous?"
Only then did Xia Xingcheng realize that his lips were a little dry. He suddenly recalled what He Zheng said to him when the filming of "Fading" was completed. He Zheng said that this road is really difficult, and anyone who can't go on will be normal.
Yang Youming said, "Do you regret it?"
Xia Xingcheng suddenly turned his head to look at him, "Am I crazy? How can I regret it?"
Yang Youming reached out and patted the back of his hand, "I'm joking, don't be angry." At this time, the green light came on, and he quickly switched gears and drove the car forward.
Xia Xingcheng looked at him: "Don't you believe me?"
Yang Youming said, "I'm really joking."
Xia Xingcheng looked at him suspiciously: "Really?"
Yang Youming smiled, "Of course it's true." Then his tone became very light, and he said again: "If I didn't believe you, how dare I make such a joke, you don't know how important you are to me. ."
"Director He—" Xia Xingcheng asked hesitantly, "Did you advise you not to be serious with me when filming?"
Yang Youming said, "How do you know?"
Xia Xingcheng said slowly: "One night, I heard him go to your room to look for you, the day you kissed me."
Yang Youming said "um", "He came to persuade me, he thinks something is wrong with me."
Xia Xingcheng looked at him: "If he persuades you again, will you leave again?"
Their cars lined up at an intersection again, Yang Youming pressed the P gear, held Xia Xingcheng's hand, looked into his eyes and said solemnly, "I have only told two people in my life that I love you, I The person I love is very precious to me, and I can't let go if someone persuades me."
Xia Xingcheng glanced at the beating red light countdown, then looked at Yang Youming, "Is the other person Yuan Qian?"
Yang Youming was silent for a few seconds, and when the red light countdown jumped to zero and the traffic light turned green, he replied, "It's my mother."
