Rebirth of the Aspirations of Choucheng
Chapter 47 Kiss scene (1)
Feng An has made his debut for more than 30 years. Although he developed abroad for a long time, he has a lot of contacts in the film industry.In this new film, apart from the lead actor Ling Xi, the other roles are either starred in old dramas or made guest appearances by big-name celebrities. The photography, screenwriting, and art direction all have awards.
Regarding the back injury, Ling Xi didn't ask for leave in particular, and he didn't disclose it to any staff. Every time Baomei or Lu Xiaoyan asked him if he was tired and if he needed a rest, he would always answer that he was not tired or that he didn't need a break. There were too many times, and he simply didn't even answer the answer lazily.There is no way, he is the absolute male lead, and his roles run through the whole movie. In the whole movie, there are more than 200 scenes in total, and he himself accounts for nearly 190 of them, but he is also the one with the most junior qualifications and the smallest rank among all the cast members. , only for him to cooperate with other people's schedules, there is no reason for others to accommodate him.
More importantly, the investor of this film is Century Sky Star, which is a project of its own company. Every day the crew stops working, they will lose a huge amount of expenses. Ling Xi has the character of giving priority to discount activities when eating, let alone waist Even if he is injured, he will continue to work even if he loses his limbs.
On the day of the opening press conference, there were many stars, and the atmosphere was very enthusiastic. Reporters from various media rushed to the scene, surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside.According to the process, the host first briefly introduced the theme and selling points of the new movie, and then asked the director and actors to express their views on the movie in turn, and then entered the time for free questions from the media.As the leading actor, Ling Xi was arranged to stand in the center of the stage with the director in the absolute focus of the stage, but until the end of the press conference, no reporter took the initiative to ask him questions, except for the director who would carefully find someone to throw questions to Except for him, he spent the rest of the time passing the microphone back and forth for others, or acting as a human microphone stand for others.
Standing was really difficult, so he adjusted his posture slightly, trying not to affect the overall state.Once or twice, half of his body seemed to be paralyzed, and he almost couldn't stand still. He subconsciously wanted to support it with his hands, but he quickly retracted his hands halfway out, gritting his teeth and insisting on keeping his back straight.Before, Lin Guangle hired a special physique teacher to help him take lessons. He knew what kind of standing posture was the most photogenic, and what kind of standing posture best suited his appearance and temperament.
But even with Ling Xi's hard work, the team's publicity staff had already arranged for various media in advance, and the draft was written and sent out overnight. After the report was released the next day, there were still only a handful of words about him. Dry without even a complete paragraph.
In fact, no wonder the media, who told him to be a blank slate?No topic, no popularity, no gossip, no attention, it's really lackluster.The only thing that can give him a sense of presence is probably the various promotional photos of the crew. At least he is tall, with broad shoulders and thin waist, and has a pretty face. Leaving aside his acting skills, he should be an upper-middle-level person A vase would suffice.
It’s okay if there is only a lack of positive reports, anyway, artists still have to rely on their works to speak in the end. What is infuriating is that it didn’t take long for some gossip tabloids to start writing about the relationship between Feng An and Ling Xi, saying that the reason why Ling Xi The reason why he was able to act in Feng An's movie as the male lead at the beginning of his debut was because Feng An was taking care of Ling Xi alone. As for why he took care of Ling Xi, it wasn't written in the newspaper, but he found a few pictures from somewhere, and the two were vague. He compared the facial features and outlines, and analyzed the "genetic gene" in a similar manner, clearly spreading rumors that Ling Xi might be Feng An's illegitimate child.
Feng An was well-versed in the world and would not take this kind of boring fake news seriously. Although Ling Xi felt uncomfortable, she could only silently read it and put it aside, as if nothing had happened.Helpless, there are always some very boring readers who will discuss the fake as the real, and many small fans really believe it, and spread out different versions of Ling Xi's life experience.
What's even more frustrating is that this kind of nameless tabloid is not afraid of you complaining at all. Even if you take it to court, the big deal is to change your name and change your surname to make a comeback. , there is no other way.
What Feng An is going to shoot this time is the second part of his Ridao trilogy, the man in the dream. He wants to use a surreal narrative technique to express his ultimate thinking about emotions, ideals, and the meaning of life. .
The protagonist of the story is lyle, a young man who loves to sing. Lyle has an amazing musical talent since he was a child, and he aspires to become a great singer who can touch the hearts of the world.
Lyle was born on a small island far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, with sunshine, sandy beaches, waves, sailing boats, and a large piece of mysterious petroglyphs on the cliff near the sea, which has a history of thousands of years. There is an abstract god painted on it. There is a feather on the top of the head that symbolizes luck. It is said that whoever has the courage to lean down from the edge of the cliff and touch the feather can successfully fulfill a wish.
At that time, Lyle often played football on the beach with his friends, and he forgot the time. His mother always came to pinch his ears and drag him home. Lyle's parents are very loving. Because of their work, they live in two places, get together less and leave more, but they call several times a day, and they have short chats with each other on the phone.
At the age of 17, Lyle went to Lidao with a guitar on his back, met a group of like-minded friends there, formed a unique band, and was quickly discovered by Bole, signed to the most promising record company at that time, Became a full-fledged singer.His friends were very proud of him. On the day of the signing, he had a meal with his friends. At the dinner table, everyone toasted him to congratulate him. In the end, everyone got drunk and sang loudly on the streets at midnight.
Two years later, Lyle, whose career was going smoothly, got a sweet and lovely girlfriend. The girl liked to wear red dresses, treated him very well and trusted him, and liked to ride around on the back seat of his motorcycle the most. , willing to go anywhere hand in hand with him.
In lyle's world, there are music, family, friends, love, playing the piano and singing every day, life is as beautiful as a dream.
The only thing that troubles him is that he seems to easily fall into a state similar to "sleepwalking", in a trance, and occasionally can't distinguish reality from illusion.
For example, at a certain moment, he was fishing in a small boat on the calm sea, the sun was warm and warm, the waves reflected golden light, and the light and shadow fluctuated, making people blinded.He wanted to lie there with his eyes closed and rest for a while, but unexpectedly his body sank suddenly, and the overwhelming water flowed over his head, frightening him to swing his arms up and down, struggling constantly, finally, his hand grabbed some hard object, and he Borrowing strength, I straightened up, opened my eyes, and realized that I was lying naked* in the bathtub at home, the bath water was already cold, the bottles and cans on the shelf next to me were turned over, and the stereo in the living room outside was still playing playing his own song.
Another example is when he was invited to a star friend’s party, only to find out that it was a cross-dressing party. The pirate captain and Count Dracula smoked cigars and chatted happily. Gege from the Qing Dynasty and the queen from the Middle Ages held He started to pass by him, like a pair of girlfriends, the mummy and the clock tower geek were waving and stepping clumsily to the music on the dance floor... He couldn't help complaining to his manager, who didn't inform him of the dress code sooner. He, the manager just looked at him in surprise after hearing that, as if he was a monster.After staring blankly at each other for a while, Lyle rubbed her eyes and saw that the picture had returned to normal. It turned out that everyone was well dressed, men in suits and leather shoes, and women in jewels. , or a hidden smile, no different from the usual flashy parties filled with the smell of tobacco, perfume, wine and food.
Lyle couldn't tell whether it was due to too much pressure or the confusion of thinking caused by over-focusing on music. He concluded that there must be something wrong with his brain, so he had to seek help from a professional psychiatrist.It's a pity that the doctor couldn't find out what kind of illness he was, so he could only temporarily prescribe some drugs to relieve his emotions, and suggested that he go to regular psychological counseling.After a period of treatment, his condition has not been alleviated, but has become more and more serious. He often has an inexplicable fear, feeling that he is actually existing in a dream and may wake up at any time.
The constant music inspiration that used to exist in Lyle's mind began to dry up. He could no longer write good songs, and he didn't know if the drug really worked. He felt that his brain was slowly clearing up. Those imaginative pictures, Those absurd encounters, those memories full of happiness and warmth, are like a film that turns yellow, scorched, and turns into fine powder...
It turned out that every face at the party came from his inner feelings, and those strange characters and costumes were just symbols he imposed on others out of thin air.It turned out that the day he was lying in the bathtub, he missed the most important award since he entered the industry, because he was too drunk and fell asleep in the bathtub, and almost drowned.
He still remembered a lot of things... No, in fact, those were the things he always remembered, but they were all covered up by him with beautiful illusions. He might wake up from the dream completely...
It turned out that he didn't have any sweet and lovely girlfriend. He liked that girl very much, but at that time he was still a little singer with no fixed place and no future, and he couldn't give her a stable life. He didn't even have a decent gift on his birthday. can not afford.The girl hoped that he would give up singing and study abroad with her, but he didn't agree. On the day they broke up, he drove the girl home on a motorcycle.Two years later, the girl married a young businessman and gave birth to a cute and cute daughter.
It turned out that his career was not going well. The first record company he signed with went bankrupt due to economic reasons, and he disappeared after his agent cheated him of all his money.In order to continue singing, he had to wrong himself to attend various dinner parties, drinking and chatting with rich and powerful old men and women, in order to win more job opportunities.
It turned out that when he was 17 years old, he made an appointment with his friends to join hands in the world, but in the end the record company only took a fancy to him. In order to realize his dream of becoming a singer, he chose to leave the band and give up his friends.In the eyes of the band members, he became a complete traitor. On the day of parting, he silently packed his luggage and went out. No one saw him off, no one blessed him, and no one accompanied him to get drunk.
He wanted to pursue his dream, so he kept making up beautiful dreams for himself, and he was so indulging in the dream that he deceived himself.
With complicated emotions, lyle returned to her hometown island, hoping to return to a peaceful and real life and find her own musical inspiration.But he found that his childhood memories had also been tampered with. The place he lived in was rainy all year round, and the surrounding sea was full of hidden reefs and whirlpools. Fishing boats would wreck here every year, and it was known as the Sea of Death.
It turns out that when I was a child, my parents talked on the phone every day not to show their affection, but because my father had other women outside and wanted to divorce my mother. My mother refused, and my father didn’t even come home in a fit of anger. My mother kept calling In the past, they cursed and cried bitterly, and cursed bitterly.
It turned out that he had never played football on the beach with his friends. He had undergone surgery on his shoulder and was not suitable for strenuous exercise. In order to play the guitar well in the future, he had to take good care of himself.Every time we divided into two teams and played football in full swing, he could only stand on the side of the field and help everyone look at their schoolbags and clothes.In those days when he was looking at his schoolbag and clothes, no one would look for him all over the world and urge him to go home.
One day in class, the teacher asked everyone to share their ideals. He said that he wanted to be a big singer when he grew up, but his classmates laughed at him.He was not reconciled, so he secretly climbed up to the edge of the cliff carved with strange petroglyphs at night, hoping to touch the feathers on the god's head and realize his wish.His hands were very short, and with most of his body protruding out, he still couldn't reach them with great effort, and he almost fell down.The mother who heard the news ran to him and was terrified. She stumbled up and tried to hold him, but she slipped and fell from a very high place accidentally, and died just like that.
For him, his life of more than [-] years seems to have experienced two completely different pasts. If one is reality and the other is a dream, what he thought he had may have already been lost... Then what is it? Is it a real existence?Is he really good at singing?Did he really have friends?Has he really met the girl he likes?Did he really realize his ideal?he really...
Lyle sat on the edge of the cliff thinking hard, is there any way to keep him living in the dream and never wake up...
A lot of time on the set was actually spent waiting, setting the scene, lighting, moving positions, adjusting equipment... When waiting for the set, Ling Xi moved a chair and sat quietly behind the director like a schoolboy, watching the director give Others lecturing, listening to the director ramble about his understanding of the script and characters, as well as his many insights into his life in the past [-] years.
Feng An is a very emotional person, even a little pessimistic in many cases.He would often say to Ling Xi, "Lyle, do you know that a person's life is actually a process of constantly fantasizing and breaking fantasies, whether you are male, female, beautiful, ugly, smart, or stupid, you All will grow taller, bigger, stronger, and then grow old until they dry up.You will meet many people, you love, you hate, love you, hate you, but without exception, you will be separated one day, what separates you may be misunderstanding, it may be money, it may be time, or May be death.You will also experience many things, no matter the joy of success, the pain of failure, the gratification you get, or the regret of missing, they are just memories of a few thousandths of a second at the end of your life.
Speaking of dreams, Feng An said to him, lyle, what you are living in is actually a dream that you cannot dominate or control. This dream starts from the day you were born and wakes up from the day you die, so people come There is nothing in this world, and you can't take anything with you when you leave.
Talking about truth and falsehood, Feng An said to him, Lyle, let me tell you, sometimes trueness may not be good, and falseness may not be bad.What you see with your eyes and hear with your ears may not be credible. It may be that others are deceiving you, or you may be deceiving yourself. In any case, if you choose to believe, it means that it is more in line with your inner expectations. , it will make you happier.
Speaking of love, Feng An said to him, lyle, you see, many people get hurt in love, it is because they think love is too beautiful, thinking that all love is like a fairy tale, breaking through several obstacles, After defeating a few demons, the prince and son can live happily together forever.In fact, there are also people who sacrificed their beautiful singing voice, cut their tails and turned them into legs, and would rather walk on the edge of a knife every day, just to be with their lover for a little longer, but in the end they got nothing.So in love, the one who is not loved is destined to become a bubble.
Ling Xi didn't fully understand Feng An's words, nor did she have any personal experience.But listening to it every day, he couldn't help but think about his own life. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that everything was so unreal.He came to Lidao, sang, competed, made movies here, entered Tianxing, met Lu Xiaoyan, liked Lu Xiaoyan... Will he open his eyes one day and realize that he was just dreaming?Could it be that he doesn't know how to play guitar at all, is not good at singing, doesn't know Lin Guangle and other people, doesn't make friends like Cheng Che, isn't accepted by his father, doesn't have Lu Xiaoyan in his life, or Lu Xiaoyan It exists, but it's just that he never liked him as much as he thought...
Ling Xi's mind is filled with the messy thoughts that Feng An instilled in him, which makes him often distracted, and sometimes he will sit in the same position for a long time without moving his eyes.
This state is exactly what Feng An wants, because Ling Xi is a non-professional actor, has no acting skills, and cannot accurately control his emotions, so this "experiential" acting method is more suitable for him.In short, it is to gradually "hypnotize" Ling Xi, let him start talking, walking, and making expressions in a lyle way without knowing it, and even think of himself as a lyle to think about problems. It doesn't matter about acting, everything will fall into place.
When Ling Xi was bewitched by Feng An to doubt life, Lu Xiaoyan was controlling his own life and the lives of others step by step.
Fang Yao was pregnant, and Lu Xiaoyan heaved a long sigh of relief after confirming the news.It's funny to think about it, he is so looking forward to a fertilized egg that has no blood relationship with him.He hoped that it would be a boy, fat and healthy, preferably beautiful, because that child would be a witness of his father's stupidity and shame, a witness of both "beautiful" and "healthy"!
It seems that my father doesn't know that Fang Yao is pregnant. On the one hand, the month is still young, and Fang Yao's cautious character should not be announced to the world so soon; My wife's belly is round or flat.
After the eldest brother and Zhou Ting had a falling out, his father asked Zhou Rong to have a few face-to-face talks. Although quarrels and disputes were unavoidable, they did not develop to the point of a complete falling out.At the beginning, his father relied on the support of Zhou Hua and the Zhou family to make his way into the world, so for many years, the Zhou family was the only one to follow, but in the past 30 years in Hedong, and in the past 30 years in Hexi, Tenghua is now in full swing in the film and television entertainment industry of Lidao. With confidence.The two families are both in-laws and business partners, one prospers and the other loses. The so-called leaving everything to the front line makes me want to see each other in the future. Logically, Zhou Rong shouldn't be too decisive.
No wonder he learned an astonishing secret that had been dusted for many years. It turned out that when he sent someone to teach Feng An a lesson, he accidentally killed Kong Fanzhen, the woman he had admired for a long time. It was all thanks to Lu Yuanteng. Lu Yuanteng tampered with Kong Fanzhen's car, which made him too late to regret and was under the control of others for 20 years.
Zhou Rong didn't have any real evidence to bring down Lu Yuanteng, but he couldn't swallow the fuss anyway. During the three days when he heard the news, he didn't argue or quarrel, and he didn't come to argue. All the funds and all cooperation projects were stopped at the same time, which caught Lu Yuanteng by surprise, but he also secretly met with Tenghua's biggest competitor several times in succession, as if he had exhausted his strength and declared war with Lu Yuanteng regardless of the consequences.
Naturally, my father would not sit still. Not only did he quickly cooperate with several multinational groups, but he also set his sights on the most influential old record company in Lidao - Shengshi Jinding Records.
As usual, the weekend is a day for family gatherings, and my father greeted Lu Xiaoyan a few days in advance.As for what his father was up to and what his next plan was, Lu Xiaoyan knew very well, he just had the mentality of watching the fun, and wanted to see what his father would say.The so-called precepts and deeds, he has to learn too many things from his father, for example, how to kill his wife quietly, and how to betray his son calmly...
Eldest brother Lu Xiaocheng seems to have kept a low profile since he stumbled. He lives in seclusion all day long to cultivate his self-cultivation. Hearing that the theater plan is going well, he has enthusiastically praised Lu Xiaoyan more than once, saying that he knew that Lu Xiaoyan was not a good thing in the pool, and that he had been in front of his father. I have spoken good words for this younger brother several times, and now seeing that his younger brother is getting better at doing business, he feels that the burden on his shoulders has become lighter, and he can finally relax and learn how other rich men eat, drink, have fun, and talk about love up.
Lu Xiaoyan wouldn't take his big brother's nice words seriously, but it didn't stop him from falsely begging his big brother to come back to the company as soon as possible to save him from his busy life in the dark.
As soon as Lu Xiaoyan drove into the courtyard, he saw her sister walking towards her in high heels like a gust of wind. After passing by the car, she stopped and knocked on the car window with two fingers.Lu Xiaoyan lowered the car window, leaned his elbow on the car door and poked his head out, asking, "You are so beautifully dressed, are you going on a date?"
The elder sister gave him a coquettish look, took two puffs of a cigarette from the top of the handcart: "Lu Xiaoyan, I thought you were very smart, but now it seems that you are really stupid."
Lu Xiaoyan pretended to be wronged and raised his hands as a sign of surrender: "Miss, how did I offend you?"
The elder sister raised the corners of her lips and sneered, her gesture of holding the cigarette between her fingers was sexy and elegant: "Did you fill your brain with paste? In this family, you, me, elder brother, dad, how many of us have Blood relationship. Even if they were not born by the same mother, they are still brothers and sisters. Third child, remember, I am your sister. When it comes to a critical moment, I will definitely stand by your side. What is that woman? Huh, you Don't be fooled by her rhetoric, she is best at deceiving people. Look, isn't Dad in her hands? Maybe this house will be taken over by her in the future, you and my siblings If we don’t unite properly, I’m afraid we won’t even have a foothold in the future! Anyway, think about it for yourself..."
After speaking, my sister took out the small ashtray from her handbag, pressed out the cigarette butt, then patted the back of his hand meaningfully, turned her head and walked towards the garage.
From the beginning to the end, Lu Xiaoyan showed a kind and decent smile while listening, as if he was an obedient little brother.The elder sister's words are naturally Fang Yao, but the name is changed to her own, which seems to fit well.A failure like Lu Xiaoyan, no matter which side you stand on, or which one you unite with, you will have no place to stand in the end. This is probably fate.
Walking into the living room, the servant said that his father was already waiting for him in the study on the second floor.Lu Xiaoyan went upstairs in two or three steps, and as soon as he entered the door, he met his father's smiling and loving eyes.Lu Xiaoyan carelessly sat down on the sofa, calmly playing his role - the second generation ancestor of a dude who is clever but useless.
With the usual majesty and majesty on his face, his father said to Lu Xiaoyan in a leisurely manner while fiddling with the tea set: "Xiaoyan, I have some plans recently and I want to hear your opinion. You should know, I just met the United States. Mr. Miller here, we are talking about how to enhance Tenghua’s brand competitiveness and open up a larger market. Many people outside have the impression that Tenghua is lucky, its foundation is unstable, and it is a slant. We want to reverse this image , it would be best to find the most prestigious and established company in the industry to cooperate with, and join forces to strive for a win-win situation. In your opinion... how about Jinding?"
"Jinding? Hasn't Jinding been living on its laurels for the past two years? But the entire record industry is going downhill. If it doesn't change, it will go down sooner or later." Lu Xiaoyan smiled relaxedly. That's right, this is what his father told him to come back. The real purpose is to get straight to the point and quickly get to the point.
"Yes, if the record industry doesn't keep up with the development of emerging communication platforms, it is destined to be eliminated by the times, but good music will never lose its audience." , I asked someone to talk about it. They really hope to find a company like our Tenghua with both strong strength and development potential to cooperate with as soon as possible. However, Lao Sheng is relatively conservative, and he does things with a strict eye, so he wants to quickly dispel him. It seems very difficult. I heard that he has three daughters, but no son. The eldest daughter has been helping to manage the family business. I was thinking, if the son of our Lu family married the daughter of their Sheng family, what would happen? Isn’t this cooperation a matter of course and a matter of course.”
Lu Xiaoyan clearly knew what his father meant, but he deliberately pretended to be stupid: "A commercial marriage? I'm afraid the eldest brother may not be willing, isn't he just having a hot fight with the new movie queen?"
The father froze for a moment, and then quickly returned to normal: "I've also considered this issue, Xiaocheng and Lao Sheng's daughter are not suitable, that girl is a strong woman, she does things vigorously, and your elder brother is a typical machismo, I never bow my head to coax people. If we really live together, our family will not be able to think about peace. But you, Xiaoyan, you can speak well, and you have dated many people. You should be able to deal with a little girl with ease. Bar?"
Lu Xiaoyan chuckled: "I don't mind marrying someone back home, it's just a beautiful decoration anyway, but the elder brother is still single, so how can there be any reason for the younger brother to get married first? Or... Dad You are reluctant to exchange benefits with your eldest son, so you pushed me, a young son who has a father and no mother? Tsk tsk tsk, it won't happen that my elder brother commits murder and breaks the law, so my father will hand me over to the police to take the blame ?” As he spoke, he walked over slowly, raised the end of his eyes and looked at his father meaningfully.
"Nonsense! The more you talk, the less you will be right!" Father is a master of acting, and it is easy to express his anger. "You are all my children, and my blood is flowing in your body. I have always treated you equally. I have never been partial to any one since I was a child. Besides, your elder brother has your elder brother's responsibilities, and you have your responsibilities. Since you have enjoyed the rich life brought by this family, you naturally have to make corresponding sacrifices."
Lu Xiaoyan naturally didn't believe what his father said, let alone now, even in his previous life, he still didn't believe it.People's hearts are biased. Don't look at my father scolding my elder brother these past few days, but the respect for my elder brother in my bones has never wavered.The eldest brother is the eldest son, the son of the eldest brother is the eldest grandson, and the eldest son and eldest grandson are the future heirs of the Lu family. Lu Xiaoyan's wife can be found at will, but the eldest son's daughter-in-law and the eldest grandson's mother-in-law can be careless.The father must have never imagined that the eldest brother had already found a candidate for his daughter-in-law, and that candidate was really a huge "surprise" for the father.
Seeing that Lu Xiaoyan was still hesitating, his father immediately said: "Boy, you may think that I am an unreasonable father, but you have to understand the painstaking efforts of being a parent. The outside world has been making a big fuss about your sexuality. As long as you Once you get married, all the gossip will disappear automatically, and there will be no obstacles for you to do things in the company."
"Oh——" Lu Xiaoyan dragged his voice exaggeratedly, "I see, Dad is really thoughtful of me."
His father gave him a dissatisfied look: "Don't smile in front of me, how can parents not think about their children? It is the greatest regret for parents that a son can't live like a normal person. If your mother is still alive , she must very much hope that you, like a normal man, get married as soon as possible and have a child as soon as possible."
When mentioning his mother, Lu Xiaoyan's originally nonchalant expression froze, and then quickly changed back to his usual glib and rascal look: "Okay, okay, since it's Dad... and Mom's wish, I will definitely fulfill both of you! Isn't it just marrying me?" Wife, any man will marry anyway, and the one with the surname Sheng is not afraid, what am I afraid of? Come on, come on!"
Father nodded in satisfaction: "I will arrange for you to meet and get in touch with each other in the past few days."
Lu Xiaoyan drank a lot of wine at dinner that night, and when he went out to the cold wind, he even staggered a little, but his father sent his own driver to drive him home.
Halfway through the car, Lu Xiaoyan asked the driver: "By the way, I haven't seen your son for a long time. How is he?"
Lu Xiaoyan drank too much alcohol, and his mind was a little blurry. He couldn't remember the name of the driver's son. He only remembered that he used to play hide-and-seek with him when he was a child, and once when he was playing hide-and-seek, he saw his father and others in the study. A woman has an affair.In the blink of an eye, everyone has grown up.
When the old driver talked about his son, he expressed his satisfaction in words: "That brat, hehe, after graduating from university, he said that he wanted to study for a master's or doctor's degree. He only studied for so many years. People are stupid, but it's okay. The income of the job I found is not bad, and last year I got a raise and a promotion, saying that in a few years, his mother and I can retire with peace of mind..."
Lu Xiaoyan was also happy when he heard this: "That's great, that's great..."
His voice was full of envy.
When Lu Xiaoyan returned to the apartment he lived in, it was already close to midnight. My good sister always went to bed early, so he was ready for the darkness when he entered the door.But when he opened the door and stepped into the hallway, he saw the small warm yellow light on the side of the fish tank in the living room at a glance. Ling Xi nestled in the large white sofa opposite the fish tank, looking at it with great interest. Swimming around with those tropical fish.
Hearing the sound of the door, Ling Xi turned her head and smiled slightly at Lu Xiaoyan. The smile was obedient and sweet, with shallow dimples and neat white teeth, it was like a milk that was about to melt in her mouth. sugar.
It was just a scene that was so ordinary that it couldn't be more ordinary, Lu Xiaoyan suddenly felt his nose sore, and his eyes became moist.In the depths of his heart, somewhere that had been empty for a long time, a small warm yellow light seemed to be lit.
Lu Xiaoyan stared blankly for a long time before he came back to his senses, and hurriedly found something to cover up his gaffe: "What time is it, why are you still up?"
Ling Xi turned her back and continued to look at the group of tropical fish, only a fluffy little hair was exposed on the top of the sofa back: "I'm reading tomorrow's script, I'm going to sleep now."
Lu Xiaoyan was attracted by some mysterious force, and walked towards Ling Xi unconsciously. Standing behind the sofa, he wanted to reach out to touch Ling Xi's hair in a daze. The moment his fingertips touched the hair, he forced his hand again Taking it back, he awkwardly rubbed his nose twice in embarrassment.
Ling Xi's script was spread out on the small table near the fish tank. Lu Xiaoyan glanced at it casually, and was a little surprised when he saw a large section of lines and actions outlined by Ling Xi with a marker: "Huh? Why is there still a kiss?" Drama? When did your movie change its mood?"
Ling Xi didn't immediately understand Lu Xiaoyan's faint dissatisfaction and sarcasm: "Why can't there be a kissing scene? Are losers not qualified to fall in love?"
"With whom?" Lu Xiaoyan blurted out, his tone was a little blunt, more like a question.
Ling Xi answered truthfully: "The girl in red."
Lu Xiaoyan didn't understand: "Who? Which girl in red?"
Ling Xi didn't know how to explain it: "It's the girl in red, and she doesn't have a name, so she's called the girl in red."
"Tsk!" Lu Xiaoyan was inexplicably agitated, as if deliberately trying to find Ling Xi's awkwardness, and there was a little disdain in his words, "Have you ever kissed? Do you know how to kiss? Just make a kiss scene?"
Ling Xi shrugged nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, anyway, the director will demonstrate."
"Demonstration? How?" Lu Xiaoyan's voice suddenly raised a bit, "Is it for you or for that girl in red?"
Ling Xi didn't bother to explain: "That's the job of the director, so you don't have to worry about it."
"Heh, heh..." Lu Xiaoyan smiled dryly with his mouth open. The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became. "Don't worry" was what he was most worried about.
Lu Xiaoyan took two steps towards the bedroom, stopped again, and looked back at Ling Xi, Ling Xi was focusing on the fish.Lu Xiaoyan took two more steps, stopped again, and looked back at Ling Xi, Ling Xi was still looking at the fish.After struggling for a while with his head down, Lu Xiaoyan turned around and walked back to Ling Xi, and asked slowly: "You... don't you want someone to teach you? Or you can... ask me for help..."
Ling Xi blinked his big eyes and looked at Lu Xiaoyan, and said straight to the point: "Do you want to kiss me?"
As soon as Lu Xiaoyan raised his head to meet Ling Xi's calm gaze, he hurriedly avoided his gaze in a panic, moving his feet restlessly,
Regarding the back injury, Ling Xi didn't ask for leave in particular, and he didn't disclose it to any staff. Every time Baomei or Lu Xiaoyan asked him if he was tired and if he needed a rest, he would always answer that he was not tired or that he didn't need a break. There were too many times, and he simply didn't even answer the answer lazily.There is no way, he is the absolute male lead, and his roles run through the whole movie. In the whole movie, there are more than 200 scenes in total, and he himself accounts for nearly 190 of them, but he is also the one with the most junior qualifications and the smallest rank among all the cast members. , only for him to cooperate with other people's schedules, there is no reason for others to accommodate him.
More importantly, the investor of this film is Century Sky Star, which is a project of its own company. Every day the crew stops working, they will lose a huge amount of expenses. Ling Xi has the character of giving priority to discount activities when eating, let alone waist Even if he is injured, he will continue to work even if he loses his limbs.
On the day of the opening press conference, there were many stars, and the atmosphere was very enthusiastic. Reporters from various media rushed to the scene, surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside.According to the process, the host first briefly introduced the theme and selling points of the new movie, and then asked the director and actors to express their views on the movie in turn, and then entered the time for free questions from the media.As the leading actor, Ling Xi was arranged to stand in the center of the stage with the director in the absolute focus of the stage, but until the end of the press conference, no reporter took the initiative to ask him questions, except for the director who would carefully find someone to throw questions to Except for him, he spent the rest of the time passing the microphone back and forth for others, or acting as a human microphone stand for others.
Standing was really difficult, so he adjusted his posture slightly, trying not to affect the overall state.Once or twice, half of his body seemed to be paralyzed, and he almost couldn't stand still. He subconsciously wanted to support it with his hands, but he quickly retracted his hands halfway out, gritting his teeth and insisting on keeping his back straight.Before, Lin Guangle hired a special physique teacher to help him take lessons. He knew what kind of standing posture was the most photogenic, and what kind of standing posture best suited his appearance and temperament.
But even with Ling Xi's hard work, the team's publicity staff had already arranged for various media in advance, and the draft was written and sent out overnight. After the report was released the next day, there were still only a handful of words about him. Dry without even a complete paragraph.
In fact, no wonder the media, who told him to be a blank slate?No topic, no popularity, no gossip, no attention, it's really lackluster.The only thing that can give him a sense of presence is probably the various promotional photos of the crew. At least he is tall, with broad shoulders and thin waist, and has a pretty face. Leaving aside his acting skills, he should be an upper-middle-level person A vase would suffice.
It’s okay if there is only a lack of positive reports, anyway, artists still have to rely on their works to speak in the end. What is infuriating is that it didn’t take long for some gossip tabloids to start writing about the relationship between Feng An and Ling Xi, saying that the reason why Ling Xi The reason why he was able to act in Feng An's movie as the male lead at the beginning of his debut was because Feng An was taking care of Ling Xi alone. As for why he took care of Ling Xi, it wasn't written in the newspaper, but he found a few pictures from somewhere, and the two were vague. He compared the facial features and outlines, and analyzed the "genetic gene" in a similar manner, clearly spreading rumors that Ling Xi might be Feng An's illegitimate child.
Feng An was well-versed in the world and would not take this kind of boring fake news seriously. Although Ling Xi felt uncomfortable, she could only silently read it and put it aside, as if nothing had happened.Helpless, there are always some very boring readers who will discuss the fake as the real, and many small fans really believe it, and spread out different versions of Ling Xi's life experience.
What's even more frustrating is that this kind of nameless tabloid is not afraid of you complaining at all. Even if you take it to court, the big deal is to change your name and change your surname to make a comeback. , there is no other way.
What Feng An is going to shoot this time is the second part of his Ridao trilogy, the man in the dream. He wants to use a surreal narrative technique to express his ultimate thinking about emotions, ideals, and the meaning of life. .
The protagonist of the story is lyle, a young man who loves to sing. Lyle has an amazing musical talent since he was a child, and he aspires to become a great singer who can touch the hearts of the world.
Lyle was born on a small island far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, with sunshine, sandy beaches, waves, sailing boats, and a large piece of mysterious petroglyphs on the cliff near the sea, which has a history of thousands of years. There is an abstract god painted on it. There is a feather on the top of the head that symbolizes luck. It is said that whoever has the courage to lean down from the edge of the cliff and touch the feather can successfully fulfill a wish.
At that time, Lyle often played football on the beach with his friends, and he forgot the time. His mother always came to pinch his ears and drag him home. Lyle's parents are very loving. Because of their work, they live in two places, get together less and leave more, but they call several times a day, and they have short chats with each other on the phone.
At the age of 17, Lyle went to Lidao with a guitar on his back, met a group of like-minded friends there, formed a unique band, and was quickly discovered by Bole, signed to the most promising record company at that time, Became a full-fledged singer.His friends were very proud of him. On the day of the signing, he had a meal with his friends. At the dinner table, everyone toasted him to congratulate him. In the end, everyone got drunk and sang loudly on the streets at midnight.
Two years later, Lyle, whose career was going smoothly, got a sweet and lovely girlfriend. The girl liked to wear red dresses, treated him very well and trusted him, and liked to ride around on the back seat of his motorcycle the most. , willing to go anywhere hand in hand with him.
In lyle's world, there are music, family, friends, love, playing the piano and singing every day, life is as beautiful as a dream.
The only thing that troubles him is that he seems to easily fall into a state similar to "sleepwalking", in a trance, and occasionally can't distinguish reality from illusion.
For example, at a certain moment, he was fishing in a small boat on the calm sea, the sun was warm and warm, the waves reflected golden light, and the light and shadow fluctuated, making people blinded.He wanted to lie there with his eyes closed and rest for a while, but unexpectedly his body sank suddenly, and the overwhelming water flowed over his head, frightening him to swing his arms up and down, struggling constantly, finally, his hand grabbed some hard object, and he Borrowing strength, I straightened up, opened my eyes, and realized that I was lying naked* in the bathtub at home, the bath water was already cold, the bottles and cans on the shelf next to me were turned over, and the stereo in the living room outside was still playing playing his own song.
Another example is when he was invited to a star friend’s party, only to find out that it was a cross-dressing party. The pirate captain and Count Dracula smoked cigars and chatted happily. Gege from the Qing Dynasty and the queen from the Middle Ages held He started to pass by him, like a pair of girlfriends, the mummy and the clock tower geek were waving and stepping clumsily to the music on the dance floor... He couldn't help complaining to his manager, who didn't inform him of the dress code sooner. He, the manager just looked at him in surprise after hearing that, as if he was a monster.After staring blankly at each other for a while, Lyle rubbed her eyes and saw that the picture had returned to normal. It turned out that everyone was well dressed, men in suits and leather shoes, and women in jewels. , or a hidden smile, no different from the usual flashy parties filled with the smell of tobacco, perfume, wine and food.
Lyle couldn't tell whether it was due to too much pressure or the confusion of thinking caused by over-focusing on music. He concluded that there must be something wrong with his brain, so he had to seek help from a professional psychiatrist.It's a pity that the doctor couldn't find out what kind of illness he was, so he could only temporarily prescribe some drugs to relieve his emotions, and suggested that he go to regular psychological counseling.After a period of treatment, his condition has not been alleviated, but has become more and more serious. He often has an inexplicable fear, feeling that he is actually existing in a dream and may wake up at any time.
The constant music inspiration that used to exist in Lyle's mind began to dry up. He could no longer write good songs, and he didn't know if the drug really worked. He felt that his brain was slowly clearing up. Those imaginative pictures, Those absurd encounters, those memories full of happiness and warmth, are like a film that turns yellow, scorched, and turns into fine powder...
It turned out that every face at the party came from his inner feelings, and those strange characters and costumes were just symbols he imposed on others out of thin air.It turned out that the day he was lying in the bathtub, he missed the most important award since he entered the industry, because he was too drunk and fell asleep in the bathtub, and almost drowned.
He still remembered a lot of things... No, in fact, those were the things he always remembered, but they were all covered up by him with beautiful illusions. He might wake up from the dream completely...
It turned out that he didn't have any sweet and lovely girlfriend. He liked that girl very much, but at that time he was still a little singer with no fixed place and no future, and he couldn't give her a stable life. He didn't even have a decent gift on his birthday. can not afford.The girl hoped that he would give up singing and study abroad with her, but he didn't agree. On the day they broke up, he drove the girl home on a motorcycle.Two years later, the girl married a young businessman and gave birth to a cute and cute daughter.
It turned out that his career was not going well. The first record company he signed with went bankrupt due to economic reasons, and he disappeared after his agent cheated him of all his money.In order to continue singing, he had to wrong himself to attend various dinner parties, drinking and chatting with rich and powerful old men and women, in order to win more job opportunities.
It turned out that when he was 17 years old, he made an appointment with his friends to join hands in the world, but in the end the record company only took a fancy to him. In order to realize his dream of becoming a singer, he chose to leave the band and give up his friends.In the eyes of the band members, he became a complete traitor. On the day of parting, he silently packed his luggage and went out. No one saw him off, no one blessed him, and no one accompanied him to get drunk.
He wanted to pursue his dream, so he kept making up beautiful dreams for himself, and he was so indulging in the dream that he deceived himself.
With complicated emotions, lyle returned to her hometown island, hoping to return to a peaceful and real life and find her own musical inspiration.But he found that his childhood memories had also been tampered with. The place he lived in was rainy all year round, and the surrounding sea was full of hidden reefs and whirlpools. Fishing boats would wreck here every year, and it was known as the Sea of Death.
It turns out that when I was a child, my parents talked on the phone every day not to show their affection, but because my father had other women outside and wanted to divorce my mother. My mother refused, and my father didn’t even come home in a fit of anger. My mother kept calling In the past, they cursed and cried bitterly, and cursed bitterly.
It turned out that he had never played football on the beach with his friends. He had undergone surgery on his shoulder and was not suitable for strenuous exercise. In order to play the guitar well in the future, he had to take good care of himself.Every time we divided into two teams and played football in full swing, he could only stand on the side of the field and help everyone look at their schoolbags and clothes.In those days when he was looking at his schoolbag and clothes, no one would look for him all over the world and urge him to go home.
One day in class, the teacher asked everyone to share their ideals. He said that he wanted to be a big singer when he grew up, but his classmates laughed at him.He was not reconciled, so he secretly climbed up to the edge of the cliff carved with strange petroglyphs at night, hoping to touch the feathers on the god's head and realize his wish.His hands were very short, and with most of his body protruding out, he still couldn't reach them with great effort, and he almost fell down.The mother who heard the news ran to him and was terrified. She stumbled up and tried to hold him, but she slipped and fell from a very high place accidentally, and died just like that.
For him, his life of more than [-] years seems to have experienced two completely different pasts. If one is reality and the other is a dream, what he thought he had may have already been lost... Then what is it? Is it a real existence?Is he really good at singing?Did he really have friends?Has he really met the girl he likes?Did he really realize his ideal?he really...
Lyle sat on the edge of the cliff thinking hard, is there any way to keep him living in the dream and never wake up...
A lot of time on the set was actually spent waiting, setting the scene, lighting, moving positions, adjusting equipment... When waiting for the set, Ling Xi moved a chair and sat quietly behind the director like a schoolboy, watching the director give Others lecturing, listening to the director ramble about his understanding of the script and characters, as well as his many insights into his life in the past [-] years.
Feng An is a very emotional person, even a little pessimistic in many cases.He would often say to Ling Xi, "Lyle, do you know that a person's life is actually a process of constantly fantasizing and breaking fantasies, whether you are male, female, beautiful, ugly, smart, or stupid, you All will grow taller, bigger, stronger, and then grow old until they dry up.You will meet many people, you love, you hate, love you, hate you, but without exception, you will be separated one day, what separates you may be misunderstanding, it may be money, it may be time, or May be death.You will also experience many things, no matter the joy of success, the pain of failure, the gratification you get, or the regret of missing, they are just memories of a few thousandths of a second at the end of your life.
Speaking of dreams, Feng An said to him, lyle, what you are living in is actually a dream that you cannot dominate or control. This dream starts from the day you were born and wakes up from the day you die, so people come There is nothing in this world, and you can't take anything with you when you leave.
Talking about truth and falsehood, Feng An said to him, Lyle, let me tell you, sometimes trueness may not be good, and falseness may not be bad.What you see with your eyes and hear with your ears may not be credible. It may be that others are deceiving you, or you may be deceiving yourself. In any case, if you choose to believe, it means that it is more in line with your inner expectations. , it will make you happier.
Speaking of love, Feng An said to him, lyle, you see, many people get hurt in love, it is because they think love is too beautiful, thinking that all love is like a fairy tale, breaking through several obstacles, After defeating a few demons, the prince and son can live happily together forever.In fact, there are also people who sacrificed their beautiful singing voice, cut their tails and turned them into legs, and would rather walk on the edge of a knife every day, just to be with their lover for a little longer, but in the end they got nothing.So in love, the one who is not loved is destined to become a bubble.
Ling Xi didn't fully understand Feng An's words, nor did she have any personal experience.But listening to it every day, he couldn't help but think about his own life. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that everything was so unreal.He came to Lidao, sang, competed, made movies here, entered Tianxing, met Lu Xiaoyan, liked Lu Xiaoyan... Will he open his eyes one day and realize that he was just dreaming?Could it be that he doesn't know how to play guitar at all, is not good at singing, doesn't know Lin Guangle and other people, doesn't make friends like Cheng Che, isn't accepted by his father, doesn't have Lu Xiaoyan in his life, or Lu Xiaoyan It exists, but it's just that he never liked him as much as he thought...
Ling Xi's mind is filled with the messy thoughts that Feng An instilled in him, which makes him often distracted, and sometimes he will sit in the same position for a long time without moving his eyes.
This state is exactly what Feng An wants, because Ling Xi is a non-professional actor, has no acting skills, and cannot accurately control his emotions, so this "experiential" acting method is more suitable for him.In short, it is to gradually "hypnotize" Ling Xi, let him start talking, walking, and making expressions in a lyle way without knowing it, and even think of himself as a lyle to think about problems. It doesn't matter about acting, everything will fall into place.
When Ling Xi was bewitched by Feng An to doubt life, Lu Xiaoyan was controlling his own life and the lives of others step by step.
Fang Yao was pregnant, and Lu Xiaoyan heaved a long sigh of relief after confirming the news.It's funny to think about it, he is so looking forward to a fertilized egg that has no blood relationship with him.He hoped that it would be a boy, fat and healthy, preferably beautiful, because that child would be a witness of his father's stupidity and shame, a witness of both "beautiful" and "healthy"!
It seems that my father doesn't know that Fang Yao is pregnant. On the one hand, the month is still young, and Fang Yao's cautious character should not be announced to the world so soon; My wife's belly is round or flat.
After the eldest brother and Zhou Ting had a falling out, his father asked Zhou Rong to have a few face-to-face talks. Although quarrels and disputes were unavoidable, they did not develop to the point of a complete falling out.At the beginning, his father relied on the support of Zhou Hua and the Zhou family to make his way into the world, so for many years, the Zhou family was the only one to follow, but in the past 30 years in Hedong, and in the past 30 years in Hexi, Tenghua is now in full swing in the film and television entertainment industry of Lidao. With confidence.The two families are both in-laws and business partners, one prospers and the other loses. The so-called leaving everything to the front line makes me want to see each other in the future. Logically, Zhou Rong shouldn't be too decisive.
No wonder he learned an astonishing secret that had been dusted for many years. It turned out that when he sent someone to teach Feng An a lesson, he accidentally killed Kong Fanzhen, the woman he had admired for a long time. It was all thanks to Lu Yuanteng. Lu Yuanteng tampered with Kong Fanzhen's car, which made him too late to regret and was under the control of others for 20 years.
Zhou Rong didn't have any real evidence to bring down Lu Yuanteng, but he couldn't swallow the fuss anyway. During the three days when he heard the news, he didn't argue or quarrel, and he didn't come to argue. All the funds and all cooperation projects were stopped at the same time, which caught Lu Yuanteng by surprise, but he also secretly met with Tenghua's biggest competitor several times in succession, as if he had exhausted his strength and declared war with Lu Yuanteng regardless of the consequences.
Naturally, my father would not sit still. Not only did he quickly cooperate with several multinational groups, but he also set his sights on the most influential old record company in Lidao - Shengshi Jinding Records.
As usual, the weekend is a day for family gatherings, and my father greeted Lu Xiaoyan a few days in advance.As for what his father was up to and what his next plan was, Lu Xiaoyan knew very well, he just had the mentality of watching the fun, and wanted to see what his father would say.The so-called precepts and deeds, he has to learn too many things from his father, for example, how to kill his wife quietly, and how to betray his son calmly...
Eldest brother Lu Xiaocheng seems to have kept a low profile since he stumbled. He lives in seclusion all day long to cultivate his self-cultivation. Hearing that the theater plan is going well, he has enthusiastically praised Lu Xiaoyan more than once, saying that he knew that Lu Xiaoyan was not a good thing in the pool, and that he had been in front of his father. I have spoken good words for this younger brother several times, and now seeing that his younger brother is getting better at doing business, he feels that the burden on his shoulders has become lighter, and he can finally relax and learn how other rich men eat, drink, have fun, and talk about love up.
Lu Xiaoyan wouldn't take his big brother's nice words seriously, but it didn't stop him from falsely begging his big brother to come back to the company as soon as possible to save him from his busy life in the dark.
As soon as Lu Xiaoyan drove into the courtyard, he saw her sister walking towards her in high heels like a gust of wind. After passing by the car, she stopped and knocked on the car window with two fingers.Lu Xiaoyan lowered the car window, leaned his elbow on the car door and poked his head out, asking, "You are so beautifully dressed, are you going on a date?"
The elder sister gave him a coquettish look, took two puffs of a cigarette from the top of the handcart: "Lu Xiaoyan, I thought you were very smart, but now it seems that you are really stupid."
Lu Xiaoyan pretended to be wronged and raised his hands as a sign of surrender: "Miss, how did I offend you?"
The elder sister raised the corners of her lips and sneered, her gesture of holding the cigarette between her fingers was sexy and elegant: "Did you fill your brain with paste? In this family, you, me, elder brother, dad, how many of us have Blood relationship. Even if they were not born by the same mother, they are still brothers and sisters. Third child, remember, I am your sister. When it comes to a critical moment, I will definitely stand by your side. What is that woman? Huh, you Don't be fooled by her rhetoric, she is best at deceiving people. Look, isn't Dad in her hands? Maybe this house will be taken over by her in the future, you and my siblings If we don’t unite properly, I’m afraid we won’t even have a foothold in the future! Anyway, think about it for yourself..."
After speaking, my sister took out the small ashtray from her handbag, pressed out the cigarette butt, then patted the back of his hand meaningfully, turned her head and walked towards the garage.
From the beginning to the end, Lu Xiaoyan showed a kind and decent smile while listening, as if he was an obedient little brother.The elder sister's words are naturally Fang Yao, but the name is changed to her own, which seems to fit well.A failure like Lu Xiaoyan, no matter which side you stand on, or which one you unite with, you will have no place to stand in the end. This is probably fate.
Walking into the living room, the servant said that his father was already waiting for him in the study on the second floor.Lu Xiaoyan went upstairs in two or three steps, and as soon as he entered the door, he met his father's smiling and loving eyes.Lu Xiaoyan carelessly sat down on the sofa, calmly playing his role - the second generation ancestor of a dude who is clever but useless.
With the usual majesty and majesty on his face, his father said to Lu Xiaoyan in a leisurely manner while fiddling with the tea set: "Xiaoyan, I have some plans recently and I want to hear your opinion. You should know, I just met the United States. Mr. Miller here, we are talking about how to enhance Tenghua’s brand competitiveness and open up a larger market. Many people outside have the impression that Tenghua is lucky, its foundation is unstable, and it is a slant. We want to reverse this image , it would be best to find the most prestigious and established company in the industry to cooperate with, and join forces to strive for a win-win situation. In your opinion... how about Jinding?"
"Jinding? Hasn't Jinding been living on its laurels for the past two years? But the entire record industry is going downhill. If it doesn't change, it will go down sooner or later." Lu Xiaoyan smiled relaxedly. That's right, this is what his father told him to come back. The real purpose is to get straight to the point and quickly get to the point.
"Yes, if the record industry doesn't keep up with the development of emerging communication platforms, it is destined to be eliminated by the times, but good music will never lose its audience." , I asked someone to talk about it. They really hope to find a company like our Tenghua with both strong strength and development potential to cooperate with as soon as possible. However, Lao Sheng is relatively conservative, and he does things with a strict eye, so he wants to quickly dispel him. It seems very difficult. I heard that he has three daughters, but no son. The eldest daughter has been helping to manage the family business. I was thinking, if the son of our Lu family married the daughter of their Sheng family, what would happen? Isn’t this cooperation a matter of course and a matter of course.”
Lu Xiaoyan clearly knew what his father meant, but he deliberately pretended to be stupid: "A commercial marriage? I'm afraid the eldest brother may not be willing, isn't he just having a hot fight with the new movie queen?"
The father froze for a moment, and then quickly returned to normal: "I've also considered this issue, Xiaocheng and Lao Sheng's daughter are not suitable, that girl is a strong woman, she does things vigorously, and your elder brother is a typical machismo, I never bow my head to coax people. If we really live together, our family will not be able to think about peace. But you, Xiaoyan, you can speak well, and you have dated many people. You should be able to deal with a little girl with ease. Bar?"
Lu Xiaoyan chuckled: "I don't mind marrying someone back home, it's just a beautiful decoration anyway, but the elder brother is still single, so how can there be any reason for the younger brother to get married first? Or... Dad You are reluctant to exchange benefits with your eldest son, so you pushed me, a young son who has a father and no mother? Tsk tsk tsk, it won't happen that my elder brother commits murder and breaks the law, so my father will hand me over to the police to take the blame ?” As he spoke, he walked over slowly, raised the end of his eyes and looked at his father meaningfully.
"Nonsense! The more you talk, the less you will be right!" Father is a master of acting, and it is easy to express his anger. "You are all my children, and my blood is flowing in your body. I have always treated you equally. I have never been partial to any one since I was a child. Besides, your elder brother has your elder brother's responsibilities, and you have your responsibilities. Since you have enjoyed the rich life brought by this family, you naturally have to make corresponding sacrifices."
Lu Xiaoyan naturally didn't believe what his father said, let alone now, even in his previous life, he still didn't believe it.People's hearts are biased. Don't look at my father scolding my elder brother these past few days, but the respect for my elder brother in my bones has never wavered.The eldest brother is the eldest son, the son of the eldest brother is the eldest grandson, and the eldest son and eldest grandson are the future heirs of the Lu family. Lu Xiaoyan's wife can be found at will, but the eldest son's daughter-in-law and the eldest grandson's mother-in-law can be careless.The father must have never imagined that the eldest brother had already found a candidate for his daughter-in-law, and that candidate was really a huge "surprise" for the father.
Seeing that Lu Xiaoyan was still hesitating, his father immediately said: "Boy, you may think that I am an unreasonable father, but you have to understand the painstaking efforts of being a parent. The outside world has been making a big fuss about your sexuality. As long as you Once you get married, all the gossip will disappear automatically, and there will be no obstacles for you to do things in the company."
"Oh——" Lu Xiaoyan dragged his voice exaggeratedly, "I see, Dad is really thoughtful of me."
His father gave him a dissatisfied look: "Don't smile in front of me, how can parents not think about their children? It is the greatest regret for parents that a son can't live like a normal person. If your mother is still alive , she must very much hope that you, like a normal man, get married as soon as possible and have a child as soon as possible."
When mentioning his mother, Lu Xiaoyan's originally nonchalant expression froze, and then quickly changed back to his usual glib and rascal look: "Okay, okay, since it's Dad... and Mom's wish, I will definitely fulfill both of you! Isn't it just marrying me?" Wife, any man will marry anyway, and the one with the surname Sheng is not afraid, what am I afraid of? Come on, come on!"
Father nodded in satisfaction: "I will arrange for you to meet and get in touch with each other in the past few days."
Lu Xiaoyan drank a lot of wine at dinner that night, and when he went out to the cold wind, he even staggered a little, but his father sent his own driver to drive him home.
Halfway through the car, Lu Xiaoyan asked the driver: "By the way, I haven't seen your son for a long time. How is he?"
Lu Xiaoyan drank too much alcohol, and his mind was a little blurry. He couldn't remember the name of the driver's son. He only remembered that he used to play hide-and-seek with him when he was a child, and once when he was playing hide-and-seek, he saw his father and others in the study. A woman has an affair.In the blink of an eye, everyone has grown up.
When the old driver talked about his son, he expressed his satisfaction in words: "That brat, hehe, after graduating from university, he said that he wanted to study for a master's or doctor's degree. He only studied for so many years. People are stupid, but it's okay. The income of the job I found is not bad, and last year I got a raise and a promotion, saying that in a few years, his mother and I can retire with peace of mind..."
Lu Xiaoyan was also happy when he heard this: "That's great, that's great..."
His voice was full of envy.
When Lu Xiaoyan returned to the apartment he lived in, it was already close to midnight. My good sister always went to bed early, so he was ready for the darkness when he entered the door.But when he opened the door and stepped into the hallway, he saw the small warm yellow light on the side of the fish tank in the living room at a glance. Ling Xi nestled in the large white sofa opposite the fish tank, looking at it with great interest. Swimming around with those tropical fish.
Hearing the sound of the door, Ling Xi turned her head and smiled slightly at Lu Xiaoyan. The smile was obedient and sweet, with shallow dimples and neat white teeth, it was like a milk that was about to melt in her mouth. sugar.
It was just a scene that was so ordinary that it couldn't be more ordinary, Lu Xiaoyan suddenly felt his nose sore, and his eyes became moist.In the depths of his heart, somewhere that had been empty for a long time, a small warm yellow light seemed to be lit.
Lu Xiaoyan stared blankly for a long time before he came back to his senses, and hurriedly found something to cover up his gaffe: "What time is it, why are you still up?"
Ling Xi turned her back and continued to look at the group of tropical fish, only a fluffy little hair was exposed on the top of the sofa back: "I'm reading tomorrow's script, I'm going to sleep now."
Lu Xiaoyan was attracted by some mysterious force, and walked towards Ling Xi unconsciously. Standing behind the sofa, he wanted to reach out to touch Ling Xi's hair in a daze. The moment his fingertips touched the hair, he forced his hand again Taking it back, he awkwardly rubbed his nose twice in embarrassment.
Ling Xi's script was spread out on the small table near the fish tank. Lu Xiaoyan glanced at it casually, and was a little surprised when he saw a large section of lines and actions outlined by Ling Xi with a marker: "Huh? Why is there still a kiss?" Drama? When did your movie change its mood?"
Ling Xi didn't immediately understand Lu Xiaoyan's faint dissatisfaction and sarcasm: "Why can't there be a kissing scene? Are losers not qualified to fall in love?"
"With whom?" Lu Xiaoyan blurted out, his tone was a little blunt, more like a question.
Ling Xi answered truthfully: "The girl in red."
Lu Xiaoyan didn't understand: "Who? Which girl in red?"
Ling Xi didn't know how to explain it: "It's the girl in red, and she doesn't have a name, so she's called the girl in red."
"Tsk!" Lu Xiaoyan was inexplicably agitated, as if deliberately trying to find Ling Xi's awkwardness, and there was a little disdain in his words, "Have you ever kissed? Do you know how to kiss? Just make a kiss scene?"
Ling Xi shrugged nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, anyway, the director will demonstrate."
"Demonstration? How?" Lu Xiaoyan's voice suddenly raised a bit, "Is it for you or for that girl in red?"
Ling Xi didn't bother to explain: "That's the job of the director, so you don't have to worry about it."
"Heh, heh..." Lu Xiaoyan smiled dryly with his mouth open. The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he became. "Don't worry" was what he was most worried about.
Lu Xiaoyan took two steps towards the bedroom, stopped again, and looked back at Ling Xi, Ling Xi was focusing on the fish.Lu Xiaoyan took two more steps, stopped again, and looked back at Ling Xi, Ling Xi was still looking at the fish.After struggling for a while with his head down, Lu Xiaoyan turned around and walked back to Ling Xi, and asked slowly: "You... don't you want someone to teach you? Or you can... ask me for help..."
Ling Xi blinked his big eyes and looked at Lu Xiaoyan, and said straight to the point: "Do you want to kiss me?"
As soon as Lu Xiaoyan raised his head to meet Ling Xi's calm gaze, he hurriedly avoided his gaze in a panic, moving his feet restlessly,
