double promise

City B, Yihe Yipin Commercial Plaza, a movie theater.

Xie Guansu was facing the sky, with long bangs covering his forehead, and a pair of big black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose that could cover half of his face, only one third of his face was well covered.Just like that, he didn't dare to appear in front of people, until the opening of the movie, he sneaked into the screening hall like a thief in the dark.

Huo Mingjun, who accompanied him all the way, was exhausted for him, but he didn't make a sound. The two of them obviously could choose to book the show, but they insisted on "cheating"—the popular star brought her boyfriend to the movie theater for a date, and all she wanted was her heartbeat.

When entering the arena, the animation title of Xuandu Pictures happened to be shown on the big screen. The two looked at each other in unison and smiled tacitly. "This omnipotent scientific theory.

Due to design problems, the chairs in the cinema are slightly lower and wider, making them appear extraordinarily deep.When Xie Guan sat down, he accidentally pulled his ravaged waist and legs, grinning his teeth in pain, and let out a "hiss" with extreme restraint.

"What's the matter?" Huo Mingjun turned to him immediately upon hearing the sound, and was tapped by Xie Guan on the back of his hand, and immediately lowered his voice knowingly, "Back pain?"

His voice was deep and magnetic, and the two of them were breathing intertwined, so close that they could bow their heads and kiss each other at any time.Mr. Xie, the hard-bodied tough guy, couldn't resist sticking to his ears the most, his old face blushed, hating the clothes and beasts knowingly asked, and angrily said: "Get out!"

Huo Mingjun smiled lowly, and closed his mouth obediently.

Xie Guan recovered his memory during the filming of "The Hidden Man". It was not earth-shattering at all. It may be that the foreshadowing was in place, and there was only one opportunity missing.On the way back to the hotel, it rained, and the memory door that had been hidden was suddenly opened.

The feeling of recovering memory is actually very bad, especially Xie Guan once firmly believed that he and Huo Mingjun's "savior" were two people.He's slightly split, living like two incompatible personalities, and is often confused.

Xie Guan attended the premiere of "A Handful of Snow" last night, chatted with Huo Mingjun when he got home, and recalled the first days when he was tempted.

In the depths of love, Xie Guan was made dizzy by Huo Mingjun Ding, faintly showing signs of an orgasm.He hugged his lover's generous back, didn't know what was going on, his eyes were half closed, and suddenly blurted out in a hoarse voice: "Brother Mingjun..."

This title had never appeared before, Xie Guan would only call him "Ming Jun", and Cheng Shen couldn't remember his name, so he would only call him "Brother".

Huo Mingjun's movements stopped suddenly.

Xie Guan slightly raised his eyelids and glanced at him in a trance. After a few seconds, he was horrified to find that the thing contained in his body suddenly became bigger again——

"Huo Mingjun! You beast... ah..."

"Don't... no, no... I was wrong, brother Mingjun, I was really wrong..."

In the dark theater, the light and shadows are changing on the big screen. The second male gardener Tang Qin played by Xie Guan is wearing a coarse cloth bunt. He is dark and thin.

That period of time was when Xie Guan's physical condition was at its worst, interpreting this down-and-out gardener who almost froze to death on the street was nothing against him.The surrounding audience were immersed in the plot, but Huo Mingjun forced himself to pull away, turning his head to look at Xie Guan's focused profile, the soreness and pain in his chest seemed to be a lingering haze.

He clasped Xie Guan's hand on his knee, Xie Guan was startled for a moment, then immediately turned it back, took his hand and shook it gently, leaned over and asked, "Huh? What's wrong?"

Huo Mingjun said frankly: "Seeing that you have suffered such a serious crime while filming, I feel uncomfortable."

"..." Xie Guan's face turned hot, "Cough...what are you doing. Speak well, don't be coquettish."

Huo Mingjun didn't answer, just smiled and continued to watch the movie.Xie Guan's heart beat faster when he teased him, and he caught a glimpse of their clasped hands out of the corner of his eye, and sneered at Mr. Huo's sudden crookedness.

—but he didn’t get rid of him after all.

A year later, in October, the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival.

In the last few seconds of the clip of "A Handful of Snow", Xie Guan was handcuffed, unshaven, and his eyes were covered by his wind-blown hair. Before he was escorted into the car by the police, he suddenly looked back and took a deep look at the heroine.

The shot freezes.

"Who is the best supporting actor in this year's Hundred Flowers Awards? Now, please vote."

The camera swept over the faces of all the male guests present, all of them in suits and leather shoes, sitting upright.The column graph on the big screen gradually increased, and there was no sound in the venue. After a while, the number on the top of the column jumped slightly, which happened to be one vote more than No.2.

"The winner of this year's Hundred Flowers Award for Best Supporting Actor is—"

"Thank you Guan!"

Xie Guan couldn't restrain his shocked expression, he thought that he would definitely not be able to compete with another veteran actor, but unexpectedly he won the award by one vote.The leading actor of the same crew, Zhou Yuan, patted him on the shoulder with a smile, Xie Guan managed to stabilize his mind, and hugged Zhou Yuan and Director Han Ke respectively.

There was applause at the scene, Xie Guan adjusted his clothes, went on stage, and received the golden goddess statue from the award presenters.

That night, "Xie Guan won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Supporting Actor" hit the headlines of major entertainment media.

Xie Guan has always been a half-black physique in the entertainment industry. When he heard the news of his award, as many people cheered, as many people ridiculed him.

"Now the Hundred Flowers Awards judges are really anyone can be [smiles]. Do you dare to ask for some face from a certain face-selling fresh meat and your fans, and you are ashamed to call 'explosion' just because of your emoji-like acting skills?"

"Actually, there is still a threshold." Huo Mingjun leaned lazily on the head of the bed, driving Xie Guan's trumpet against Heizi, "At least it screened out people like you."

Time goes by, and another year springs and autumns come.

"The nominee for the Best Actor Award at the 31st China Film Golden Rooster Awards is—"

"Zheng Sinian's Spring Knife and Autumn Sword"

"Yan Ke "I and Me""

"Thank you for watching "The Hidden Man""

"Feng Kaiwei's Rehe"

The female guest opened the envelope and read together with the male guest: "The Best Actor Award at the 31st China Film Golden Rooster Awards is awarded to... Thank you! Congratulations!"

"Comments from the Organizing Committee: The character played by Xie Guan has gone through a huge test of life. He has grown from a young prince to a generation of emperors, and has completed a transformation from a cocoon to a butterfly. The actor and the character have grown together, which is very contagious. Xie Guan used His superb acting skills have created a deeply rooted character, and he has also interpreted the spirit of chivalry and the feelings of 'family, country and world', so he is bestowed with the Best Actor Award."

"Thank you to director Wei Changning, thank you to the screenwriter, and thank you to all the staff of the crew," Xie Guan held the trophy in his hand and stared at the camera with a smile. "Thanks to my manager, my friend—" he said here, and paused slightly , and continued, "My family..."

In front of the TV, Huo Mingjun, who was watching the live broadcast, rubbed the ring on his ring finger unconsciously.

Two years later, Montreal, Canada

The guest prize draw, the best actor: Xie Guan, the award-winning work "It's Better to Go Back".

This is the third Chinese actor since the Montreal Film Festival was founded. Several domestic guests present and the Chinese film and television professionals serving as judges applauded vigorously.

Xie Guan quickly stepped onto the stage.

"Thanks to director Zhong Cang for appreciating me and allowing me to play this role, and thanks to all the staff of the crew, it is your hard work that made this movie possible. Thanks to my company, my friends and all those who supported and helped me, He took a deep breath, trying to calm his heartbeat, but his palm slipped from tension.

"...And, unavoidably, I would also like to thank the most important person in my life. He accompanied me through countless difficulties and obstacles, sheltered me from wind and rain, and never left me."

"Thank you to my partner, my husband, Huo Mingjun."

The audience was silent. First, the Chinese people present showed expressions of disbelief. Then, under the translation of the simultaneous interpretation, all the guests stood up one after another and began to applaud enthusiastically.

Xie Guan didn't have the patience to go around down the stairs again, and directly supported with one hand, and jumped off the stage.The photographers in the audience gave way for him with a smile on their faces, and Xie Guan walked towards the auditorium holding the trophy.

Sitting in the back row of the auditorium was a calm and handsome man of Chinese descent. There was still a trace of astonishment on his face, but when Xie Guan came, he stood up to greet Xie Guan, and opened his arms to him without hesitation.

Xie Guan rushed forward and hugged him tightly, the trophy hit Huo Mingjun's back, almost slapping him to vomit blood.

"I love you." He said loudly.

Huo Mingjun watched him tenderly, blocked most of the camera with his body, lowered his head and kissed Xie Guan's lips: "I love you too."

Three years later, in City B, in a garden villa.

Following the legalization of homosexuality in the United States and the promulgation of the "Same-Sex Marriage Law" on the Bay Island, mainland China has finally put the issue of legalizing same-sex marriage on the table. In December, the draft "Same-Sex Marriage Law" was approved by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress for the third review and announced to the whole society , solicit public opinion.

There was another round of upsurge of discussion among the people, and news reports emerged one after another.The influential "Northern Weekly" in China created a special program called "One Hundred Outstanding Chinese Comrade Faces in China".

Three years ago, Xie Guan came out in a high profile at the Montreal Film Festival, and also brought the low-key Huo Mingjun to the public.At that time, the domestic environment was not as relaxed as it is now, and his private life somewhat affected his career.But Xie Guan is confident, after all his object, number one fan and biggest benefactor is Huo Mingjun.This small incident was regarded as washing powder, and he completely abandoned the bad influence of "excessive attention to idol life" brought about by him when he was a child, and concentrated on being his actor and making his movies.

Mr. Huo drove west of Hexi the year before last. So far, all the power of the Huo family has fallen into the hands of Huo Mingjun.His status is too high, and no one can control him when he comes out of the closet, so the nosy people have to find another way, and persuade him one after another not to indulge in the world of two people, but to quickly have a child to inherit the family business.

Both "Chinese Faces" were selected this time. In terms of influence, Xie Guan is the fifth and Huo Mingjun is the second.Also on the list are old acquaintances, the president of Xihua Entertainment, Ye Zheng, and his proprietress, Jiang Kezhou, a partner of a top private equity firm in China.

Among the [-] Chinese on the list, more than half are from the fashion entertainment industry, the financial business industry and the high-tech industry. There are only a few people from other industries, and due to policy restrictions, there is no one from the political and military circles. public.

The person in the first place is also a person in the entertainment industry. He is a famous actor who has passed away for many years but still has influence today.

Huo Mingjun's interview was earlier than Xie Guan's, and was done at the company.Xie Guan's interview was arranged at home.Reporters and photographers positioned themselves in the garden to find angles.The corner of Xie Guan's mouth twitched as he flipped through the interview outline, and asked dumbfoundedly: "Who are you interviewing? What kind of questions are these? I didn't dare to ask him, so I asked them all, right?!"

"Hahaha," the reporter laughed apologetically, "Boss Huo doesn't have much to say, so it's all up to Mr. Xie to make up for it. You two can sing as you please..."

Xie Guan: "..."

"... What are your expectations for the same-sex marriage law? Well... I hope it will be passed and implemented as soon as possible. Although my husband and I have married abroad, we hope to be recognized by the laws of our motherland."

"I am an actor, and I often experience other people's lives in the play. If every film and television work is a world, I have probably lived for more than a dozen lifetimes. From ancient times to the present, I have tasted a little bit of all kinds of things in the world. , The biggest feeling they bring to me is that love is the mutual attraction between two people, not the mutual attraction of two genders.”

"The person I love is excellent, he is worthy of my love, and makes me love forever without regret."

In early spring, the garden was full of vitality. Xie Guan was sitting at the tea table under the tree, with snow-white, pink and purple magnolia flowers rustling all over his clothes.

In the distance stands a towering office building, beside the floor-to-ceiling windows, Huo Mingjun is working at his desk, his brows are grim for several years, but there is a framed photo with Xie Guan on the desk.

"Mr. Huo, how do you view homosexuality?"

"... Regardless of gender, regardless of identity, no matter how the world changes, even if one day we forget about each other and meet each other, I will definitely be attracted to him."

"I have always loved and remained true to his soul."
