yesterday night

Xie Chengwen is on a video call with Xie Qi.

Xie Qi reported to him his recent achievements, the club activities he participated in, and the few blonde beauties he saw today.

"You separated from him?" Xie Qi asked suddenly, "He's calling me all the time."

"He has his own life." Xie Chengwen agreed.

Xie Qi stared at the camera on the other side of the screen for a long time before saying: "Father, I used to think that your marriage might be a bit worse than that of your mother. Because you never said a word, but she always complained to me about you, saying How can you feel sorry for her. At that time, I thought that was not the case, she was the one who left first, and she divorced before I was one year old, and she still told me that it was because you didn't care about her enough. "

"Then have you changed your mind?" Xie Chengwen asked, he had just taken a shower, water dripped from the tips of his hair, and there were reflected light spots on his face.

"You are too ruthless." This sentence is almost accusatory, "People do wrong things because they are sad, and they find reasons for themselves because they care. You can't learn to be sad, so you don't say anything."

Xie Chengwen frowned, he seemed to disapprove of Xie Qi's conclusion, but in the end he only said to Xie Qi: "At your age, you shouldn't think about these things."

He turned off the video call.

Xie Chengwen fell asleep, and when he got up, he found that the phone was out of power and turned off automatically.When I opened it, I saw that Xie Qi had sent several applications to request a call, and found that after failing all the time, the last few messages were all text messages.

"Dad, I'm sorry."

"I know you are not like that, I just want to force you to say that you are actually very sad."

"But if you never tell people, they won't know. You should tell them, don't be sad alone. You say he has his own life, and you have your own."

Xie Chengwen was stunned for a while, his eyes were itchy, he rubbed them with his fingers.Before Xie Chengwen knew it, Xie Qi had grown so big.

But Xie Qi's proposal was still too far away for him.

Before Chen Jingcun went to Lin Zhoudu's crew that day, he called Xie Chengwen and said that you don't have to renew your contract, but you should explain it to Lin Zhoudu.But he didn't know what to explain to Lin Zhoudu.

Futu's problem was far bigger than what Chen Jingcun knew.Its development is too large, and it has become a giant ship, slow and old, slowly unable to keep up with the pace of the times, and its tail is too big.Many things are not accidental. Newer, younger, and more adventurous peers are emerging. Now Futu, the occasional few films that fail to invest in it can’t affect the foundation, but one day, Futu’s glory will become a thing of the past.The decision was never made by Xie Chengwen alone. It was Futu as a whole that was aging. Even if he wanted to try new popular things, other decision makers would not agree.

What Xie Chengwen can do is to gradually transform Futu, open movie theaters, build film and television bases, and get involved in TV dramas, so that Futu can gain new markets after losing part of it.People used to ask what Futu meant, and whether Xie Chengwen had mistyped Futu to get the name.In fact, Futo is just a kind of dice suit. At that time, Xie Chengwen thought the name was good and used it casually, but now it is unexpectedly suitable.This is a gamble, and no one can guess the hearts of the audience and predict the development of the market. Hong Kong movies 30 years ago could not have guessed that Eastern Hollywood would disappear, and the Chinese market 20 years ago could not have guessed that it would become a box office that attracted worldwide attention. Ten years ago, Lin Zhoudu, who was in high spirits, did not know that he would have to wait so long.

Xie Chengwen couldn't explain all this to Lin Zhoudu. He used to participate in those wine bureaus, and those big bosses, bragging about beautiful women with their arms around them, refused to admit their baldness and obesity, nor their premature ejaculation and impotence.

Xie Chengwen finally understood the mentality of those people, it was unreasonable vanity.He couldn't put all these aside, and told Lin Zhoudu that you shouldn't be in Futu at all.He could only abuse his power a little bit to satisfy his selfishness before pushing Lin Zhoudu out.According to Xie Chengwen's previous thinking, he would never have thought of those treacherous routines, but Chen Jingcun was the agent who knew them best. Chen Jingcun told him that it would be easier to become popular this way, so he let Chen Jingcun operate it.

In the first half of his life, it may have been too easy, that's why he met Lin Zhoudu.Why did Chen Jingcun have to mention his own name?Xie Chengwen doesn't understand himself now.

Maybe he just hoped that before Lin Zhoudu left Futu, the name Xie Chengwen could leave a little impression in his mind.And not just a vague shadow, a former boss who occasionally turns up at annual meetings and events.There are so many tourists on Mt. Fuji, and everyone is enjoying the beautiful scenery. Xie Chengwen is the one who visits here.He knew that he was selfish, immoral, and harboring evil intentions, but he never thought that Lin Zhoudu would fall in love with him. He thought that Lin Zhoudu would treat him as if he had been bitten by a dog.

Man is complex and unpredictable, not just any dead thing, not something that can be summed up in a single sentence.If one step is wrong, the butterfly effect usually brings about a tsunami.Xie Chengwen often thought that if Lin Zhoudu continued to be popular back then, he might have forgotten about this person and just regarded him as one of the countless actors he admired.But Lin Zhoudu didn't develop like this, and Xie Chengwen didn't forget him easily.In the long-term staring, the feelings will ferment and deteriorate. Of course, Xie Chengwen knows that this is not a simple appreciation.They are all real people, trying their best to hide their true selves, but they still can't help but expose them to each other, he is, and so is Lin Zhoudu.

Lin Zhoudu better be hating him.

A sound came from outside the bedroom window. Xie Chengwen thought it was because the window was not closed properly, but he was stunned when he looked up.

It was Lin Zhoudu knocking on the window.

Of course Xie Chengwen didn't want to open it, but Lin Zhoudu made a gesture. It seemed that if Xie Chengwen didn't come again, he would smash the glass with his bare hands.

Lin Zhoudu jumped down from the window sill and patted the mud on his body: "You actually changed both the password and the lock."

Xie Chengwen's face was sullen, he still wanted to make a final resistance: "You are breaking into a private house."

Lin Zhoudu laughed: "Then you go to the police, go quickly, when the police come, I will say that I quarreled with my boyfriend, and he won't let me in."

"What on earth do you want to do?" Xie Chengwen saw Lin Zhoudu so straightforward for the first time.

"I don't believe in evil." Lin Zhoudu said, "It doesn't matter if you like me or not, but my feeling. My feeling tells me that you are just pretending."

Xie Chengwen felt that Lin Zhoudu was simply unreasonable.But such a rascal Lin Zhoudu, he couldn't drive him away.

"You can say that you just slept with me." Lin Zhoudu said, "I don't have to believe it."

Xie Chengwen couldn't tell what he looked like.

Xie Chengwen could only reason with Lin Zhoudu: "It's not good for you to do this."

"I know." Lin Zhoudu said.

"You will find out in the future that love will be an insignificant part of life, and it may not even exist. You don't need a shady relationship, and you are not only an actor, you also have fans. Once it is exposed, you will lose a lot."

"I know."

"Even if you don't expose it, you can only keep it hidden. Over time, when you reach a certain age, people will acquiesce that you are gay, and they will start gossip about you, and you may lose some opportunities."

"I know." Lin Zhoudu was like a repeater.

Xie Chengwen had no choice but to move himself out and try to describe it as scary as possible: "I will grow old, and it doesn't look like anything now. Think about it, when you are in your 40s and still acting in movies, I will already be in my 50s. You may have I don’t love me anymore, but I have lost a lot.”

Lin Zhoudu felt that Xie Chengwen's mouth should be blocked, so he did the same. Xie Chengwen was so blocked that he couldn't breathe, and it was the first time he found Lin Zhoudu's strength so great.

"I know, I know everything." Lin Zhoudu said to Xie Chengwen, "I can't say that I don't care, I really care. I need fame, success, and good movies. I want to engrave my name on the Avenue of Stars. I also want you."

Xie Chengwen suddenly had no choice but to continue.

Pros and cons, Lin Zhoudu knows better than him.But if you can give up calmly after accurate calculation, it will not be feelings.

"I also know that if I don't come to you, I will definitely regret it. Think about it, will you regret it? If you don't think so, I will leave now, as you wish." Lin Zhoudu looked at Xie Chengwen, He is still betting.

The windows were left open just now, and the wind was blowing.Xie Chengwen finally hugged Lin Zhoudu.
