become famous with a kiss

Guan Baiyan didn't notice Zhuang Linlin's strangeness, and after giving Xiong Pang a lesson, he turned and left, but Zhuang Linlin chased after him.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Xiong Pang also left the shooting scene immediately.

This is the Ming and Qing film and television city on the outskirts of the city, surrounded by antique buildings from the Republic of China period. Xiong Pang caught up with the two people in front of him in an empty backyard.

Seeing that there was no one else around, Zhuang Linlin stopped and shouted, "Senior Guan Baiyan!"

Guan Baiyan turned his head.

Zhuang Linlin stepped forward and bowed to him, "Hi, I'm Ningze's manager, and my name is Zhuang Linlin."

"Hello." Guan Baiyan nodded.

It was the first time she spoke face-to-face with this legendary senior. Zhuang Linlin was obviously a little nervous, but she quickly mustered up her courage, "I just heard what you said to Brother Xiong."

Guan Baiyan raised his eyebrows, and only then did he really start to look at the other party.

Zhuang Lin felt the pressure increase, but she had reached this point, and she had no way out, "Ning Ze's last illness was really related to seniors, right? Although I don't know what happened, but there are secrets in this circle There are too many ways to harm people in the ground, and there is no need to know so clearly."

Pang Xiong, who rushed over, screamed secretly when he heard this sentence, but he was also secretly thankful - obviously Zhuang Linlin didn't hear the last sentence he said, about Ning Ze living in Guan Baiyan's house now.

"Little girl, what do you know? Talking nonsense here?!" Pang Xiong hurriedly interposed between the two, lest the little girl offend Guan Baiyan again for Ning Ze. He became the one to clean up the mess again, "Did Ning Ze complain to you or did he complain to you? If not, stop yelling here!"

"He didn't say anything, but I can hear it myself!" Zhuang Linlin obviously didn't appreciate it, she bit her lip, and there was a kind of stubbornness unique to young people in her eyes, "Senior Guan, Brother Xiong, I know why you hate Ning Ze , it's all because of what happened at the Winter Festival..."

"What are you talking about?! It's all over, what are you talking about?" Pang Xiong interrupted her hastily, while sneaking a glance at Guan Tianwang's face.

Guan Baiyan stood aside and did not speak, but Xiong Pang felt that he was in such a bad mood that even his sunglasses had a blue-purple cold light.

"I did that!" Just as Xiong Pang wanted to cover Zhuang Linlin's mouth, she suddenly shouted.

The sudden situation made Xiong Pang, who felt smart and cunning, froze in place.

"I pushed him. Although I made this suggestion to him before, he rejected it. He didn't want to use Senior Guan. It was me who made the proposal... I was too disturbed, I was afraid that we would all fall into the In Lu Jia's hand..." Zhuang Linlin didn't know what she was wronged about, but while she was complaining angrily, tears rolled in her eyes.

Seeing her crying, Xiong Pang was at a loss, "Oh, why are you crying? What's there to cry about, and we didn't bully you?"

Zhuang Linlin was still crying.

"Did Ning Ze ask you to tell me these things?" Guan Baiyan finally spoke, and one sentence made her stop crying.

Zhuang Linlin glared at him, "Of course not!"

"Come and tell me this without his consent... Then you, as his manager, have betrayed him again." Guan Baiyan's voice showed no pity, "And why should I take the time to listen? You talk about this? You are his agent, and everything you do naturally represents him. Of course it is his responsibility not to let the agent and himself be of the same mind...Since he didn’t fire you immediately, if something happens in the future Any problems, of course, should be his responsibility."

Then he turned his head and said to Pang Xiong, "Let's go."

"Okay, okay." Pang Xiong nodded his head.

Guan Baiyan took Xiong Pang and left without looking at Zhuang Linlin who was completely stunned.

That night, the crew of "Winter Sunshine" finished work nearly two hours later than usual.Ning Ze felt guilty for slowing down the progress of the whole drama, but the director didn't say anything to blame. Instead, he comforted him by saying that it was normal for the first filming, and hoped that he would not take it to heart.

No matter how many times Ning Ze was cut, Xiao Bin practiced with him. Even though the two are close friends, this patience is enough to move Ning Ze.

After the show ended, Xiaobin came over and patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Are you sleepy? Do you still have the energy to have a drink?"

It was already four o'clock in the morning, but Ning Ze, who had been in a state of mental tension, was still sleepless.Thinking about seeing Guan Boyan when he returns to the apartment, and remembering what he said about acting without shame in front of him... Ning Ze suddenly felt that Xiaobin's proposal was very good.

So the two found an all-night bar.

It was approaching dawn, and the business in the bar was very light, so the two chose a corner booth and sat down.Ning Ze ordered a glass of light fruit wine, but Xiao Bin ordered devil's water with a high concentration.

"Thank you for today." Ning Ze said sincerely, "I guessed that filming would not be so easy, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult. Let me buy the wine today."

Xiao Bin didn't speak, but his eyes followed Ning Ze's face all the way down, from his forehead to his collarbone, and then back to his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Ning Ze was a little surprised.

Xiaobin pressed his back against the back of the chair, folded his arms and smiled lightly, "You were too nervous before, so you didn't pay attention. Guan Baiyan came to our studio today, he should have come to see you."

Ning Ze was stunned for a moment, "He... came to see me?"

"The rest of our crew can't talk about friendship with him, so he probably came to see me and Director Fang." Xiaobin lowered his head slightly, "Brother Ning Ze, tell me...does he like you? "

Ning Ze still couldn't recover, and said intuitively, "Why? He hates me before it's too late..."

Xiaobin's eyes flashed, "What about you? Do you like him?"

"Of course not." Ning Ze subconsciously said.

"So...he doesn't like you, and you don't like him either?" Xiaobin repeated.

Ning Ze's eyes jumped, he stared at the colorful liquid in the cocktail glass in front of him, a series of questions in his mind: Why did Guan Baiyan come today?Did he really come to see him?But why did you leave when you didn't find out?Does this mean that he cares about himself?

The three words "Guan Baiyan" seemed to have occupied all his thoughts, which made him unable to devote any energy to answer Xiaobin's question at this time.

"That's it..." Xiaobin smiled lightly, with a hint of sadness and regret mixed in, "I'm going to the bathroom."

As if he couldn't bear it anymore, he got up and left.

It took quite a while for Xiaobin to leave, enough for Ning Ze's boiling mind to gradually calm down, and only then did he realize how inappropriate his behavior just now was.

But Xiaobin, who came back, did not continue this topic. Ning Ze tried to make amends, but Xiaobin started to propose to drink together. Those explanations were finally missed by the two of them because they missed the time.

***

When Ning Ze woke up, he had a splitting headache.

The familiar sound of chopping vegetables and coughing came from the next door. It was the father starting to prepare the family's lunch again.Ning Ze sat up in a daze, only then remembered that Xiao Bin sent him back to his parents' house yesterday.

Recently, Ning Ze's star career has improved greatly, and his income has also increased greatly. He gave most of the money he earned to his family.But his father and mother were used to living a frugal life, and they just helped him save the money, and the two old people still lived a poor life.

Yesterday, Fang Daquan temporarily adjusted the filming schedule. Today, he did not arrange Ning Ze's scene, but only told him to hurry up and adjust his mental state.During this one-day vacation, Ning Ze didn't feel relaxed at all. He stood up to wash with his forehead, but when he picked up his phone, he saw a text message.

--Woke up?

The sender was Guan Baiyan, and the time was eight o'clock in the morning.

Ning Ze paused his hands, and replied: I went to bed late yesterday, and I just woke up now, is there anything you can do for me, senior?

I waited anxiously for a moment, but did not get any response.Ning Ze sat on the edge of the bed in a daze for a while before realizing that he seemed to care too much.

— "What about you? Do you like him?"

Xiaobin's words seemed to ring in his ears again.

Ning Ze took a deep breath, threw his phone on the bed, and went to the kitchen to help his father cook.

It is rare to come back. Not only did he make his famous mapo tofu, but he also helped his father chop some meat stuffing for his parents to make dumplings for later.The function of the range hood at home has long been broken, and the pungent smell of oily smoke made Ning Ze cough. In this environment where he couldn't breathe and think, he felt that his mood was much clearer.

After setting the dishes and chopsticks, and packing the meals to be brought to my mother, I suddenly heard the phone in the room ringing.

Some unfamiliar ringtones made him stunned for a moment before he realized that this was the exclusive ringtone he set for Guan Baiyan, but it had never sounded before today.

Ning Ze held his breath and connected the phone, Guan Baiyan's voice came clearly through the airwaves: "Come down, I'm downstairs at your house."

Ning Ze suddenly suspected that he had heard it wrong, "You are... downstairs from my house? Now?"

"You rest today, you should have time."

"Yes……"

"I'll wait for you for 5 minutes."

The call was cut off, Ning Ze was stunned for a few seconds, then rushed to the window and looked down.

In the not spacious area of ​​the community, a silver-gray Lamborghini was parked impressively.

With a sound of "buzz", Ning Ze only felt that his mind was full of mud. He told his father in a daze that he would not have dinner at home, and then went downstairs in a daze until he sat in the car, still a little suspicious. Are you dreaming.

"Come with me to a place." Guan Baiyan was wearing a black shirt that covered most of his face, the top two buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned, and his slender fingers with a silver tail ring rested on the steering wheel, looking casual Sexy and sexy.

"...Okay." Whenever the two of them were alone recently, Ning Ze always felt that his brain was short-circuited, and he couldn't even speak smoothly.

"Have you had lunch?" Guan Baiyan looked at the time, it was almost one o'clock in the afternoon.

"I've eaten." Ning Ze replied almost reflexively.

"That's good, it might take a while."

Guan Baiyan drove into the city and stopped in front of a theater.

While parking the car, Ning Ze saw a huge promotional poster in front of the theater gate - the musical "Love Killing" tour performance.

Today is not the weekend, and it is not night, so there are not many people buying tickets.Guan Baiyan led Ning Ze to check the tickets and entered the arena. The two were lucky not to be recognized.

The seat Guan Baiyan reserved was in the fourth row, but the first three rows were completely empty, and there was only one person sitting in the middle of the first row.That person has a slim figure and elegant hair. He is obviously a woman, but Ning Ze still feels a little familiar when he looks at this back.

If you want to watch a stage play, it is natural to sit as close as possible. Now all the seats in the front row are vacant, and they are obviously taken by others.

In fact, with such a large amount of money, you can book the venue, and you only bought the first three rows of seats, probably because you want to enjoy the resonance of watching the theater with ordinary audiences... This contradictory aloofness and loneliness made Ning Ze a little curious.

But these thoughts just turned in his mind, and he was quickly attracted by the plot of "Love Killing".

This is a one-act musical.

The unemployed husband loves his wife deeply, but accidentally learns that his wife is having an affair.Under the mad jealousy, he imagined all kinds of hideous ways to kill his wife.Just when he was about to put all this into practice, the man called his wife. Under constant temptation, the wife still spared no effort to cover up the extramarital affair, and even yelled and scolded the man for losing his job.The man held the receiver, but suddenly realized that the woman who betrayed him was not cute at all.Love died suddenly in this peaceful afternoon, and the man's emotions calmed down instantly. He cooked a sumptuous dinner as usual, and sat at the table waiting for his wife to return.

The whole play is almost a solo performance by the male protagonist.

From the depression of losing a job, the pain of learning of his wife's betrayal, the madness of imagining his wife's murder, to the despair of temptation and the final ashes of silence.Every level and every emotion can be retracted freely, and the transition is smooth and natural.

The dozens of songs sung solo by the male protagonist in the middle do not make people dislike the burden of deliberately showing his voice, but play an extremely critical role in rendering emotions.

In several places, Ning Ze felt that the pores of his whole body were completely opened by those notes, and he almost couldn't help singing along with the male lead.

But strictly speaking, the plot of this drama is not attractive, and it is not a popular subject matter nowadays.

If another time and another person invited Ning Ze, he probably wouldn't be very interested.

But now that he just experienced a major collapse in his acting skills yesterday, there is nothing more suitable for him to relax and learn than such a drama.

Probably because it was a musical, the stage was not far from the auditorium. Sitting in the fourth row, it was so close that even the overly long false eyelashes put on by the protagonist could be clearly seen.

The actor's eyes and expressions are very clear in Ning Ze's eyes.

The male protagonist on the stage actually made Ning Ze feel like he had seen it before the more he looked at it.

"Remember who he is?" Guan Baiyan suddenly said at the end of the whole scene.

In the dimly lit room, Guan Baiyan took off his sunglasses.At such a close distance, Ning Ze has a deeper understanding of the flawless beauty of the person in front of him. With such an eye-catching appearance, it is no wonder that the company formed "TheTop" just for him.

Thinking of this, Ning Ze suddenly remembered the identity of the actor on stage: "He was originally a member of "TheTop"..."

"Yes, he was the least popular at that time, so he was fired by the company without hesitation after the group disbanded." Guan Baiyan's tone could not detect emotion.

Ning Ze smiled dryly, "Then he..."

Guan Baiyan interrupted him, "I still remember that he acted in an idol drama at the beginning, but he was criticized by countless people for his poor acting skills, so the company dared not accept the drama for him anymore. But in fact, look, how good he is now. People, the lines and explosive power required for a stage play are beyond the competence of ordinary people.”

Ning Ze seemed to think of something, "Senior, you mean..."

"Don't be so scared, and don't be so frustrated." Guan Baiyan looked at him, "There will be a first time in everything, don't put too much pressure on yourself. I can't give you any guidance on acting, but at least, I think you are It can be done...just stop being so nervous."

Ning Ze was completely stunned.

This afternoon, his mood seemed to be tossing in the stormy sea like that poor man in "Love to Kill".In the past, even in the most daring idea, he never dared to expect that Guan Baiyan would spend an afternoon comforting himself in such a roundabout and considerate way.

Ning Ze only felt that his entire chest was hot.

He looked into Guan Baiyan's dark eyes, and suddenly had a feeling that he might be doomed.

There was no longer any escape.

He realized that he might never come out again, and at this moment, in the eyes of the other party, his whole being, his whole body and mind were sinking deeply.

To fall into the luscious but miserable slough.

And the person in front of him didn't even know that he had just captured a soul that could no longer escape.
