I don't want to play anymore

The wrap-up banquet in the evening was very grand, and even the production director, who hadn't shown up for more than two months, flew over to attend.

Gao Jun walked into the banquet hall with a red face surrounded by several staff members, and when he saw Zhang Ye, he said, "Xiao Zhang, what's the matter, are you unhappy when it's over?"

Zhang Ye hurriedly adjusted his expression, and put on the smiling face that he only had when he was in business: "No, has the director just arrived?"

"Well, I just arrived, and there is another distinguished guest tonight, our biggest investor in this drama, Mr. Xie from Dingyu, you, the leading actor, should give you two more glasses of wine. Well, where is our other leading actor? "Gao Jun looked around.

A staff member next to him hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "Cheng Yang's family has something to do, so he left early in the morning."

"Why are you in such a hurry, can't you delay for a day?" Gao Jun said a little displeased.

The staff explained embarrassingly: "I'm not too clear about this, I just heard Director Wu mention it."

Zhang Ye's heart was cold, and he said calmly, "I heard that the old man in the family is sick."

Gao Jun nodded: "Okay, everyone is gone anyway, and the reason doesn't matter." He said and walked straight to the box inside.

Just as Zhang Ye was about to find a place to sit down, he stopped when he saw Meng Yao and Zhu Chenxing walking over talking and laughing.

In fact, Zhu Chenxing has already finished the filming, and Zhang Ye was surprised to appear here: "Did you come here today?"

Zhu Chenxing patted him on the shoulder as a greeting, and said with a wry smile: "After the film was finished here, I seamlessly entered another group of cameos, and I was also here in the film and television city. Assistant Director Sun called me to ask if I had time. Time has to be spared.”

"Thank you." Zhang Ye said.

Meng Yao stared at the T-shirt on Zhang Ye's body in a daze. When Zhang Ye came to look at it, she glanced into the lobby and said in a low voice, "I heard that Dingyu executives will also come over tonight?"

Zhang Ye nodded: "Well, I just heard from Director Gao that they are Mr. Xie."

Meng Yao had an expression of sudden realization: "Oh, that's their big boss. He also acted in dramas in the early years. Lao Zhu should have an impression?"

"A little bit," Zhu Chenxing said as he glanced inside, "Let's go, the three of us don't stick to the door, let's find a place to sit."

"Hey." Meng Yao responded with a smile, and put his hand into his coat pocket.

As soon as the three of them sat down, Wu Zhen's assistant Xiao Zhou walked over with a warm smile: "Director Wu invites the three teachers to sit inside."

Zhu Chenxing was stunned for a moment and said: "I don't need it, just go with Xiao Meng and Xiao Zhang."

The assistant Xiao Zhou said with a smile: "Apart from our directors and producer Gao tonight, the management only has Dingyu's Mr. Xie and his secretary. Brother Zhu, please do yourself a favor, otherwise it won't look good if there is an empty seat."

Zhu Chenxing didn't refuse anymore, smiled, and stood up: "That's it, as long as there is a position, I thought there would be a lot of people coming from the producer."

Xiao Zhou smiled and shook his head: "The producer didn't come over today."

Several people followed Xiao Zhou to the inner box. There were already many people sitting around the big round table, and the main seat was empty. It was obviously reserved for Mr. Xie of Dingyu, Wu Zhen and Gao Jun sat next to each other, followed by the executive director, Sun Chang and the boss of the prop camera group.

Gao Jun pointed to the chapter page and said, "Come, sit next to me."

Zhang Ye didn't like Gao Jun. He had a bad impression of him at the dinner in City D, but he responded politely.

Director Wu stopped him halfway, and said to Gao Jun, "Mr. Xie will definitely bring a secretary. Leave the seat next to yours for his secretary."

Gao Jun suddenly realized: "Hey, I forgot about this when I was happy."

Director Wu pointed to the seat next to Chang Sun and said, "All of you sit next to Deputy Director Sun."

A few people sat down, over there, Gao Jun continued to talk, Wu Zhen and the executive director echoed him.

The boss of the camera crew leaned forward and looked at Zhang Ye: "Zhang Ye, where is Cheng Yang?"

Just as Zhang Ye took out his phone, he heard the words and looked over and said, "There is something urgent at home, so I left early in the morning."

Cheng Yang has already arrived at his hometown. The last message told him that he was on the taxi going to the hospital. He sent a message in a hurry when he came in just now. He has not received a reply yet. It seems that Cheng Yang has almost arrived at the hospital, so I didn't have time to reply to the message.

Just as Zhang Ye was about to put the phone back into his pocket, someone beside him suddenly said something.

"Damn it, that Yu Zong broke the news again—near D City Film and Television City, the two leading actors hugged and kissed in the street late at night. Fuck, D City, how many other groups are still filming in the Film and Television City?"

Zhang Ye felt a huge shock in his heart, his hands trembled, and he almost dropped the phone. He hastily clenched it tightly and stuffed it into the innermost pocket of his trousers.

"You are still on the front line of eating melons, isn't there a lot of such things in the circle?" the camera crew leader said casually.

Zhang Ye felt that Meng Yao next to him glanced at him, he lowered his gaze, did not respond, hesitated for a moment, then took out his phone again, but it was Meng Yao who sent him a message at some point.

【Don't panic】

Zhang Ye took a deep breath and quit WeChat.

Only Meng Yao said disdainfully: "That fish boss is always thunderous and rainy every time. Last time he said there was a big melon, but it ended without a problem in the end. I guess it was for eyeballs."

Zhu Chenxing, who was next to her, folded the towel after wiping his face and put it back, and said very seriously: "There are still five or six groups in the filming. , this place is full."

Meng Yao echoed him and said, "Although the market is not good, I'm still starving to death."

The two agreed with each other, trying to divert the topic away, but at the beginning the boss of the props group who ate melons was unmoved, still immersed in this 'big melon', he swiped his phone and said: "Brother Zhu just now Said it was five or six, right? Look, this netizen knows better than us. Someone has already listed it in the comment area below. There are eight in total. Mr. Yu is not good this time. , the two leading actors, I didn't dare to say whether it was Xiaoxianrou, Liuliu or Xiaohua. But it might be too real, he didn't dare to say that, and he was waiting for someone to give him money. Speaking of which, they are really good enough Wicked, follow people to take pictures like flies, and get a windfall after taking pictures, we have worked hard for several months, and we may not earn as much as them."

After all, these people are in the circle, and they have seen a lot. Even if they eat melons, they don't have much real feelings, so they talk about professional ethics.

The boss of the camera crew patted him and said with a smile: "Don't eat melons, the little fresh meat and Xiaohua in our group are still sitting here, you are not afraid to eat melons and eat them at your own home, hurry up and see what you drink at night liquor?"

"Last time I got hurt from drinking, so I'll just drink some beer tonight." The boss of the props group finally put away his phone.

Sun Chang had been chatting with the executive director just now, and after hearing this sentence, he asked, "What little fresh meat, Xiaohua?"

Zhu Chenxing glanced at Zhang Ye from the corner of his eye, and said to Sun Chang with a smile: "I'm eating melons, what kind of gossip account broke the news or something."

Sun Chang laughed and said, "That must not be about our group."

The boss of the props group hurriedly asked: "Why?"

Sun Chang glanced at Meng Yao, and explained with a smile: "Because you, Mr. Meng, are already married, pregnant with a baby, and insisted on filming while pregnant. Staying up late with us every day is really hard."

Zhang Ye only knew about Meng Yao's marriage, but didn't know about her pregnancy, so he was very surprised: "Really?"

Meng Yao smiled and nodded: "Yes."

Zhang Ye, Zhu Chenxing and others all said in one voice, "Congratulations."

"Thank you everyone." Meng Yao said with a smile.

When Gao Jun heard this, he also asked loudly. Sun Chang explained to him again. All the people in the private room were busy congratulating Yao Daoxi, and Wu Zhen told everyone not to smoke in the private room. Looking at the crowd, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. The revelation only mentioned two leading actors, not men and women. Everyone's habitual thinking would be to think about men and women, and no one would think of him and Cheng Yang.

However, he couldn't help but put himself in that piece of news.

He remembered the food stall that night, he and Cheng Yang went out through the back door, in order to lure the man who had been following him for days, they kissed in the alley...

At this moment, it seems that it is very likely to be self-defeating.

If it was said that something was actually filmed that night, and the news broke out just after the show was finished, the timing is really ingenious, and all these things are most likely referring to him and Cheng Yang.

It seems that the person following him is likely to be someone from the film crew, but no matter what, the other party did not disclose more referential information, so there is still room for public relations.

Zhang Ye clicked on Weibo, and found the hotly searched Yu Zong’s breaking news, read it carefully, and opened the comments. The first one was replied by Yu Zong himself. He said that at the same time tomorrow, he will continue to release the news, please Everyone pays attention.

That's 24 hours left.

Zhang Ye then took a screenshot of it, opened WeChat, found Shan Jie's account, and sent a message there.

Shan Jie quickly replied.

[I noticed, you guys? 】

Zhang Ye tapped the keyboard quickly.

[It's possible, please help me deal with it. 】

Shan Jie then replied.

[What if the other party doesn't want money? 】

Zhang Ye froze for a moment.

[Then let's pose for a photo, I can show my face. 】

This time Shan Jie took a while to come back.

[Cheng Yang can't be exposed, right? 】

【yes. ] Chapter page typed a word and sent it.

[Understood, I have arranged to call you. 】

Zhang Ye let out a breath slowly, and the tension in his mind finally relaxed a bit.

Cheng Yang doesn't intend to continue to hang out in this circle in the future, he still has to study on campus, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble and disturbance to him, this time he must take Cheng Yang out of this matter.

At this time, Cheng Yang was completely unaware of the public opinion fermenting on the Internet, let alone how worried Zhang Ye was. He had just arrived outside the hospital ward, and when he was about to push the door open, his aunt just opened the door and walked out.

"Hey, who is this?" My aunt glanced at him and said in a loud voice.

"Where's grandpa?" Cheng Yang put the backpack up and sent it up. He couldn't wait for the elevator. He ran up the stairs all the way, with a dense layer of sweat on his forehead.

"Your grandpa? Oh, isn't this a big star? The old man's big star grandson is back." The aunt flicked to the side, waited for him to go in, and followed him.

In the three-person ward, the old man was lying on the edge. As soon as Cheng Yang entered, he saw the old man. He ran up and bent down to call twice. The old man's eyes were tightly closed and he didn't respond. Breath from inside.

Cheng Yang turned around and met his aunt's face again, he took a deep breath: "What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor hasn't said anything yet. Isn't this waiting for you to come back to make up your mind?" said the aunt, "How much money did you bring back?"

"I'm going to see a doctor." Cheng Yang said.

The aunt stopped him with her hips on her hips, poked him with her fingers and said, "It's all off work now, and the doctor is not here. Let's ask tomorrow. Anyway, people are already like this, and the bottle is hanging. You will not be able to breathe for a while. You first Don’t rush to leave, tell me first, how much money did you bring back? I thought you weren’t coming back, you didn’t answer the phone, you didn’t reply to the messages, you grew up eating at our old Li’s house, and lived at our old Li’s house Yes, you have today, who do you rely on? Is it your heartless dead ghost father or your short-lived mother? Or me and your uncle? Now your brother asks you to get some money to buy a house when he gets married, and he won’t pay it back in the future You, look, scared you."

Cheng Yang looked back at his grandfather lying on the hospital bed. The old man was so thin that he was almost skinny. He felt distressed and angry at the same time, and couldn't help but burst into tears. He said in a trembling voice: "You still have the face to mention my father and my mother? My father used to give me money every month to subsidize your gambling debts, your family's food and drink, and your son's cram school. Later, I did odd jobs to earn money , It doesn’t cost much money, you still lick your face every month and let him ask for it, my mother? You also took the tens of thousands of dollars that my mother left when she died? Don’t think that when I was young, what did I do? I don’t understand, neither of them owe you anything, I am today, not because of you, my grandfather brought me up.” He pointed to the old man who got off the bed, and then looked at the middle-aged woman in front of him again : "Get out of the way quickly, I'm going to find the doctor on duty."

An aunt who was accompanying her on the other bed in the ward heard the commotion here and came over to look around. The aunt was exposed by Cheng Yang, her face turned red and white, and finally came up angrily and tore Cheng Yang: "You little girl?" Conscience, you white-eyed wolf, my mother has raised you so much, you don’t think of my mother’s kindness at all, you are still making up nonsense here, you are really like your short-lived mother, there is no truth in your mouth , will deceive people.”

Cheng Yang shook off her hand and warned her with a slap in the face, "Don't mention my mother again!"

"You still want to beat me? Everyone, come and see, what evil did this old Li family do? You beat someone into the hospital in [-] and almost died. You are still with that perverted teacher, right? Now that you are a big star, you must be afraid that people will know this, right?" She said here , suddenly stomped his foot on the ground, glared at Cheng Yang and said, "If you don't give out the money today, I'll shake off all your dirty things. I'll go to the reporter, no, I'll go to the TV station to expose you .”

Cheng Yang's slap did not fall, he suppressed the anger in his heart, pushed away the chattering woman in front of him, and strode out of the ward.

Grandpa is critically ill, and my aunt sent the old man to the hospital, probably not to treat the old man, but to stop him in the hospital, waiting to ask him for money!

The more Cheng Yang thought about it, the angrier he became, and he couldn't help but began to tremble.
