become famous with a kiss

"You're talking nonsense! It's impossible!" Ning Ze almost blurted out.

This obvious questioning and hostility made Xiaobin shrink his pupils, and the mockery and indifference in his expression became more and more obvious, "Brother Ning Ze, then in your impression, what kind of person is Guan Baiyan? A hero who draws his sword to help? A white lotus that emerges from the mud without staining? If you think so, it is really ridiculous! With such a status in this circle, how can he be completely clean?!"

Ning Ze could not accept such rhetoric at all.

Indeed, he once guessed why Ning Chengxi chose to commit suicide. The most reasonable and easy reason was undoubtedly the frustration and depression caused by the slump in his career.In his subconscious mind, at some point, Guan Baiyan had been separated from this matter, thinking that the love between the two had nothing to do with his brother's final death.

He rubbed the space between his brows, and suddenly realized how ridiculous he was: he fell in love with someone so quickly, even before he fully understood him.

"That's the purpose of your visit today. It's not to tell me how much you love me, but to show how unworthy my love is." Ning Ze's burning anger seemed to cool down all of a sudden, and he used some cold Said intonation.

The previous fierce accusation could not make Xiaobin lose his mind, but such a cold statement seemed to make him a little embarrassed, "Brother Ning Ze, I just..."

——I just don’t want you to be cheated.

No one would believe such an obvious lie.

Countless grievances or real explanations poured into his throat, but in the end he found that he had nothing to say.

Ning Ze said wearily, "Since I already know what you want to say, you can go now."

Under the slightly bored eyes, Xiao Bin gradually became a bit embarrassed, he got out of bed, walked out of the room with his back straight.

Before leaving, he glanced back and seemed to be a little bit reluctant, but this kind of reluctance was not so intense and urgent.In fact, since he made today's decision, he already knew that from then on, he and Ning Ze would probably never have any in-depth personal relationship, and even the friendship they had carefully maintained would disappear completely.

But fortunately, at least this cutting action was on my own initiative.And this kind of initiative happens to be very important to me, because it will prevent the possibility of regret.

He has always been alone, he was like this before, and he will always be like this in the future, because he has long been used to it, so even if it is a little uncomfortable, he can always bear it.The so-called love for someone is too extravagant, and the price to pay is too expensive.Because when two people are in love, if they want to hurt each other, it is easy to be swallowed up by guilt.

Xiao Bin walked down the stairs slowly, and it was completely dark outside.In this city, there will only be night and never see the guiding stars. If you want to find the longing for dawn, the only person you can rely on is yourself.

He tightened his grip on the pocket camera he kept hidden in his hand.

After the conversation between the two of them at the bar last night, he was ready to end everything.

In fact, Ning Ze guessed wrong about his purpose for coming today.And this purpose was accomplished long before Ning Ze came back, and the reason why he said those words later was just to find a suitable reason for this sudden visit.

Thankfully, he really paid off.

Ning Ze continued to lie on the bed and slept for a while. He seemed to have a dream in the middle, but he couldn't remember what it was after waking up.

It was still late at night, but he couldn't fall asleep anymore, got up and left a note for his parents, then put on his clothes and took a taxi to the movie theater in the city alone.

This theater is next to the theater where "Love Killing" was performed. Ning Ze walked alone on the street that he walked with Guan Baiyan during the day, and entered the theater to buy a ticket for "Doomsday Chase".

The movie is still in its release period, but there are only a few viewers in the early morning. Ning Ze picked a good seat for himself, took out the popcorn that he hadn't eaten during the day, and sat quietly watching it.

The general clues of the plot have been known for a long time, and Ning Ze has watched the promotional film on the Internet many times, but he still did not expect that there would be a heroine in the feature film of the original movie.

The role of the girl is not particularly large. In the play, she originally liked "Lore" played by Guan Baiyan, but because "Lore" was indifferent and arrogant, the girl thought he didn't like her, so she finally accepted Lan Daiyu The love of the computer expert played by him, and he fled with him.The killer organization sent "Lore" to chase and kill the two, but "Lore" was merciful until the girl was killed by another killer sent by the organization, and "Lore" appeared in front of the two for the first time, but At that time, the girl's heart no longer belonged to him.

At the moment when the girl was dying, she fixed her eyes on the computer expert, comforted him intermittently not to be sad, and encouraged him to continue to bravely pursue the goal he insisted on.

But "Lore", the man she once loved deeply, only waited for her request: I hope he can do his best to protect the life of the computer expert.

The actor Ning Ze who played the leading role is not familiar with him, but he seems to have good acting skills. His worries and reluctance towards computer experts, his nostalgia and eagerness for life all bloomed like fireworks in his eyes that suddenly brightened before he died; Lan Dai Although Yu is not a likable person, his acting skills are also excellent. From the grief-stricken patience to the crying after Yi Ren passed away, he expresses it with a sense of hierarchy.

But Ning Ze was looking at Guan Boyan, and he naturally thought and observed from the perspective of "Lore" played by Guan Boyan.

It is not difficult to play the role of "lore", but it is not easy to play it well.The most common way to perform this kind of cool and handsome character setting is to keep a cold face, play handsome, and use facial paralysis in exchange for screams from female audiences.If you really want to express the inner world of a character, once it is too much, it will make people feel that the character of the character has collapsed, and this boundary is difficult to grasp.

From the beginning of the movie, Guan Baiyan's "lore" was covered with a heavy death in his eyes. Only when he saw the heroine, the misty depression and loneliness would dissipate a little; and in the scene where the heroine died In the middle, the flames constantly exploding in the distance illuminated the gloomy eyebrows of "lore" in the past. In those eyes sunk deep under the high eyebrows, the pain and regret were so vivid, as if they bloomed only for withering and memorial. Flowers, after a short period of brilliance, return to death.

This "Doomsday Chase" did not perform well at the domestic box office, probably because the audience finally lost interest in plots that are similar to old-fashioned and divorced from real life.

But in Ning Ze's view, Guan Baiyan's performance in this movie is indeed remarkable. It would be a pity if it was covered up by those gorgeous action scenes and computer special effects.

However, this is only his personal opinion and does not represent the public opinion.

Thinking of this, Ning Ze couldn't help laughing at himself: Is it true that people who are in love can only see what they want to see, just like myself, only Guan Baiyan can be seen in the whole movie.

However, he didn't come to watch the movie originally, it was just because he missed him urgently and that person was not in front of him.

After watching the movie, Ning Ze left the empty popcorn box on the seat, and went back to his parents' house alone.

It was already dawn, and his father and mother were still asleep. Ning Ze came to his room, took out the key, opened the cabinet next to the bed, and found the last few photos.

When he was about to take it out, he hesitated for a moment. Those photos seemed to be not in the original place, but because the number of photos had not decreased, Ning Ze didn't particularly care.

Ning Ze looked at these photos over and over again, looking at Guan Baiyan's innocent smile and the intimacy of the two.

It seemed like a long time had passed and it seemed only a moment, finally, he accepted the fact that he had been unwilling to admit: his love should not have anything to do with Guan Baiyan in the first place.

That person is the only lover that my brother loves deeply, no matter what kind of sweet or desperate entanglement they have had, it is their business after all.

But fortunately, he can't stop himself from falling in love with whom, but at least he can decide the posture in this relationship.Even if you don't start gracefully, you can exit gracefully.

It's not too embarrassing to end this unrequited love now.

***

Recently, Guan Baiyan is enjoying a rare vacation. The promotion period for the album "EmptyMe" has passed, and the release period of the movie "Doomsday Chase" is coming to an end. Recently, there are advertisements, endorsements and fashion activities, so Xiong Fatty did not let him pick him up again. extra work.

Although he works all year round and is called a workaholic by countless people, there are times when he is tired, and he needs to spend some time to settle himself for the next departure.

He still lives with Ning Ze, but since they watched "Love Killing" together, Ning Ze hasn't shown up again, and he hasn't returned to the apartment to rest at night.

It is said that "Winter Sunshine" is rushing to the shooting schedule, and all the staff have forgotten to sleep and eat. Ning Ze has delayed a lot of scenes because of his illness before, and now he can't wait for all the scenes to be passed, lest he will hold back the crew because of himself .

Guan Baiyan's work on filming the opening short film for the Asian Film Festival has also ended, so he never deliberately went to see Ning Ze's filming.On the contrary, because of the small conflict between Xiong Pang and Zhuang Linlin last time, the two became acquainted with each other, and they soon became siblings.

With the harmonious relationship between the two agents, Guan Baiyan will inevitably hear news from Ning Ze: For example, Ning Ze is now living and eating in the crew, for example, Ning Ze's acting skills have improved a lot overnight, for example, Ning Ze I got a lot of advice from Fang Daquan, for example, Ning Ze and Xiaobin seem to be not as close as before.

Because of the resolution of the misunderstanding at the Cold Winter concert, Xiong Pang's affection for Ning Ze has increased significantly, and he has some regrets for all the wrong things he did to him before. In addition, he is always a broken-mouthed person, and he always thinks about Ning Ze. It almost made Guan Baiyan's ears callused.

Regarding this, Guan Baiyan was both angry and funny, and simply gave Xiong Pang a holiday, telling himself to keep his ears clean.

That day, he was lying on the sofa flipping through a book, but suddenly he heard the door opening, and when he looked up, it was Ning Ze who hadn't seen him for several days.

Ning Ze also seemed surprised that he was in the apartment at this time, but he came over to say hello after only a moment of silence: "Senior, are you resting today?"

Guan Baiyan nodded, but felt a little surprised in his heart.

In just a few days, Ning Ze seemed to be different.He seems to have lost some weight, and the facial lines that were slightly round due to his youth began to become clear and sharp. The almost gaudy sexiness has faded a lot, and the purely masculine handsomeness has become more prominent. A coldness suppressed in restraint.

"I've been living in and out of the crew for the past few days. The weather is hot, so I came here to get a change of clothes." Ning Ze took the initiative to explain.

"You don't have to be so polite, you go and get it."

Ning Ze still stood there, and said after a while, "Senior, there is actually something that I have been looking for a chance to tell you."

Guan Baiyan put away his book and sat up, "Speak."

"It's about the last batch of photos..."

Guan Baiyan narrowed his eyes, "Just ask me if you need my help, and don't mention those photos in the future."

But Ning Ze didn't back down, he just paused, and continued, "Those photos, I want to use them in exchange for senior agreeing to act in the film that Ms. Feng Yuan planned to shoot."

Guan Baiyan frowned slightly, his eyes became deep and sharp, as if he was examining, but also seemed to be suspicious, "I remember, we talked about this issue last time."

Ning Ze was more calm, "I know what you are worried about, and I understand your concerns. But just like you encouraged me, there is no need to put too much pressure on ourselves. In fact, many times, we don't even know ourselves well enough. Just like now I realize that acting is not as easy or difficult as I imagined. Sometimes all we need is more self-confidence. At the critical moment, courage does not need a lot, maybe just a lot One step is enough."

Guan Baiyan's face changed, and he looked at Ning Ze for a long time without making a sound.

He suddenly discovered that this young man who was always embarrassed in front of him unexpectedly showed an extraordinarily calm demeanor today.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Ning Ze said again, "And according to what Ms. Feng Yuan said that day, the director she hired for this film is Li Weixin. If it is really directed by him, then it would be a pity to give up this script."

Unlike directors like Fang Daquan who are good at directing commercial dramas, Li Weixin is a director of literary and artistic films who has repeatedly won awards abroad. Just hearing his name is enough for many actors to flock to him.

Guan Baiyan still frowned, "I admit that your words are very provocative, but why are you so persistent that you must act in this film? After all, this matter has nothing to do with you."

After a while, Ning Ze smiled self-deprecatingly, "I've been sorry to you many times since I met senior. So this time, I want to stick to at least one thing that I'm worthy of you to the end."

"Are you trying to repay me?"

"You can also think so." Ning Ze lowered his eyes, "On the road of acting, you will definitely go further than you are now. Although there will be one or another hesitation in the middle of the way, one day you will put They are all left behind."

***

Ning Ze took some frequently worn clothes from the apartment and walked for more than ten minutes before arriving at the nanny's car that was waiting at the gate of another residential area.

Due to Ning Ze's outstanding performance recently, "Hualing International" has just allocated a nanny car for him.In the "HighHeat" group, Ning Ze is the No.1 to enjoy this treatment, which also means that he is the beginning of thriving in his own group.Although the members may have slander, but with the current level of Ning Ze's popularity, they would not choose to show up at this time. Even the big manager Lu Jia has to be courteous to the current Ning Ze.

After getting into the car, the driver graciously helped Ning Ze put his luggage away.

Zhuang Linlin had been flipping through magazines just now, and when she saw him coming up, she picked out a few and handed them over, "Look, Ning Ze, you got No.5 in the magazine's most popular male star for Valentine's Day." This one ...You are No.2 in the online voting for 'Pretty Boys Over Flowers'. Also, you and senior Guan Baiyan won the first place in "The Most Anticipated Ambiguous Male Star Combination by Fans". In addition, this book..."

"I'll read it later." Ning Ze took it, but didn't browse it right away. Instead, he put on the blindfold and leaned back on the back of the chair, as if he was about to take a rest.

Seeing that he was not in high spirits, Zhuang Linlin thought it was just because he was too tired from the drama these two days, so she wanted to pick a topic that both of them were interested in, "Brother Xiong introduced me to some friends in the circle these two days, and many of them are He is the producer of a popular show. It seems that I can help you receive a lot of good announcements. I didn’t know that he and Senior Guan were such good people before. I used to think that they looked like gods from a distance. It seems that distance does not necessarily produce beauty..."

She talked on her own for a while, but she didn't get any response, so her voice became smaller and smaller.Just when she wondered whether Ning Ze had fallen asleep, she suddenly heard Ning Ze say, "Linlin, if you have time recently, please help me investigate something. If necessary, you can also hire a private detective."

"Huh? What?"

"It's about a man named Ning Chengxi. He was originally a singer in our company, but he committed suicide four years ago. His manager should have been Brother Xiong. I want to know what happened in the six months before his suicide. What have you been?"

"Oh, yes." Zhuang Linlin was very surprised, but still quickly replied, "I will do it as soon as possible."

"Don't let other people know."

Even though the other party couldn't see her, Zhuang Linlin still nodded solemnly, "Well, don't worry."

Ning Ze relaxed and half-lyed, wanting to rest his body for a while, but couldn't fall asleep.This situation has been going on for several days. Everyone thought that he was too dedicated to filming, so he was under too much pressure, but he himself knew it was not the case.

What he just talked to Guan Bai had been deliberated in his mind for a long time, and in the end it seemed that he had no other choice - no matter how this person treated Ning Chengxi back then, his help to him was beyond doubt.

Then repay this kindness before finding out the truth, and then make plans after the two are not owed.

Ning Ze knew that at least he couldn't allow himself to indulge any longer, at least he couldn't give himself any chance to get close to him.That person is too dangerous, but also too dangerous a temptation...

A week later, Guan Baiyan received a courier from Ning Ze, which contained the last batch of photos left.This time he set fire to them with his own hands and burned them clean.

Looking at those flames, Guan Baiyan suddenly remembered a sentence that he had read somewhere: Mature people often find that there are fewer and fewer people to blame, because everyone has their own difficulties.

So he thought, if he verified it this way, he seemed to be barely mature.

The person he loved and hurt, the person he swore never to forgive, seems to have only the faint smile when they first met in his memory.

Everything that was originally thought to be indelible seems to have gradually blurred with the passage of time. Now, the most vivid thing about Ning Chengxi is his younger brother Ning Ze.

This is probably something my previous self would never have guessed.

The rare vacation is coming to an end, and it is imminent to consider the direction of future work development.

Guan Baiyan picked up the few scripts sent by Xiong Pangxin on the coffee table and looked at them for a while, but Ning Ze's almost reckless remarks sounded in his ears from time to time.Finally, he picked up his mobile phone and dialed the phone number Feng Yuan had left before.
