recession

Tao Liyang didn't sleep well the night before, and he didn't get up until noon the next day.After eating brunch, it was almost two o'clock when I saw the director send a message asking him to go to the scene.

As soon as I got to the second floor, I heard a few girls from the art team chattering beside the corridor: "Oh, why did you leave?"

Tao Liyang's footsteps paused for a moment, and he took out his mobile phone to look at it as if nothing had happened. Sure enough, there was a hot word on the trending search.

The divorce statement was issued by the studio shared by Xu Yunqing and Li Shuang.

Xu Yunqing's original financial contract was in Yaoxing, and the year of marriage, the contract just expired, so he didn't renew the contract and opened a studio with Li Shuang.It looked like a good thing back then, but the couple broke up halfway, and their careers were still involved, leaving only embarrassment.

Tao Liyang remembered that when Xu Yunqing got married, it was also a hot search for a long time.At that time they didn't have a studio yet, so Xu Yunqing directly poked Zhang Marriage Zhang and @李熊 and made it public.

He stared at the typesetting for a while, but finally didn't click on it.

The little girls over there were still talking, no matter whether Tao Liyang wanted to hear it or not, the voices were all drilled into his ears.

"I used to like Xu Yunqing, but I didn't watch every episode of the variety shows he was on, but the TV series he made were not very good-looking, and his face was in vain. Only the last few movies were okay."

This girl came from somewhere, and she spoke in a coquettish voice, and she said, "Don't mention it, he was so popular back then. He has several high-end endorsements in his hands, how about these years? Ever since she married Li Shuang, fans ran away. Half of it. Married before the age of 30 and still openly. I don’t have any self-consciousness about being an artist. I just left in three years. I deserve it! Last time he acted in that movie? He was on par with the female lead, that female It's only been a few years since the draft came out..."

So they started talking about the new female idol again.The entertainment industry is always full of fresh blood as people's gossip.

It's just that Xu Yunqing wasn't as bad as they said, he couldn't compare to the popularity of the year, but he didn't really break away from the first class in the circle, and he won the best actor last year.The traffic may not be as good as in previous years, but the filming is steady and steady, and there is no shortage of business resources.The so-called "equality with the heroine" was originally a drama with a big heroine, and Xu Yunqing just sold favors to help out.Having said that, how many people can compare to those years ago, thinking that they are in their prime, but in fact they have already gone downhill, and when they look back, they realize that the peak has passed in a daze.

When Tao Liyang walked to the lounge and was about to open the door, Liu Si, the director's assistant, poked his head from the side. They had worked together before, so they could talk.

"Hey." Liu Si asked him, "Have you heard? Xu Yunqing is divorced."

Tao Liyang took out his keys and shook his phone.Liu Si clicked his tongue: "Don't pretend to be with me, do you know the inside story? Don't you two have a good relationship?"

"Are you asking him about me?" The door is usually easy to open, but today it took a long time to put the key in the keyhole for some reason, Tao Liyang said with a smile, "If you want to ask me, come in with me and ask, here Stand still and see outside."

"I won't tell you anymore." Liu Sijian couldn't ask anything from him, "I'm going to the director's. I wrote down the points of the scene to be changed and put them on the table. What are you doing?" When can it be corrected? The director may not know when the filming of this scene will be finished, he said that you have to finish the correction first, so I will take it down and show it to him."

"Grandma, I don't even know how many there are." Tao Liyang raised his wrist and glanced at his watch while saying this: "Five o'clock, let someone come and pick it up at five o'clock, I'll change the first draft first, if he is not satisfied Let's talk about the rest."

Liu Si said yes, turned around and left.Tao Liyang went into the room and closed the door, turned on the laptop while flipping through the scene to be changed.Flipping through the pages, he dropped the mouse, leaned against the back of the chair and pressed hard between his eyebrows.

He was so tired that he panicked, the last time he felt this way was three years ago.

To some extent, Bai Yueguang, who has been thinking about it, has returned to being single, which seems to be a happy thing.But he only felt tired, probably because he knew in his heart that without Li Shuang, there would still be Zhang Shuang, Wang Shuang, and it would never be his turn. There will never be a chance to play, and only women will play.

In fact, Xu Yun cleared up that drunkenness and never showed his antipathy towards homosexuality again.These years Tao Liyang never concealed his sexual orientation, Xu Yunqing also has other friends who like the same sex, and they all get along very well, it probably just falls on him and doesn't accept it.

Xu Yunqing only loves women, who are soft and gentle, and who are different from Tao Liyang.

Tao Liyang thought about it for a while, and felt that he should give Xu Yunqing a call to say hello. After all, they had known each other for so many years, and it was only after Xu Yunqing got married that they became unfamiliar. After spending more than a year wandering around collecting stories, the contact with Xu Yunqing became less and less.Before that, even though he knew that Xu Yunqing had a girlfriend who was stable in his relationship, and he had never broken anyone, he still shamelessly stayed by Xu Yunqing's side as a good friend.

I had a chat with Tang Ran last year, and I somehow got to the topic. Tang Ran changed the topic, but he said something himself, I probably still have to lose face.

It's not that I don't want to lose face, it's just that no matter how low my posture is, I will never be able to reach the moon in the sea.Instead of muddying the water and shattering the moon, it is better to withdraw, even if you scrape off a layer of skin, at least save some dignity in the end.

Tao Liyang squeezed the phone so hot that he couldn't make a call in the end.After all, it was not easy for him to understand. It took Tao Liyang 12 years to realize these truths from Xu Yunqing's single life to falling in love and then to getting married.The zodiac has gone through a round, and Xu Yunqing can't live back once he divorces.He has already passed, so there are so many 12 years to spend.

Tao Liyang put his hands on his eyes and sighed, finished smoking half a pack of cigarettes, and then changed the script.

The film has been filmed for five months, and it is almost at the end stage, but the director is meticulous and picky, and the script is still being polished every time he shoots.By the way, Tao Liyang is still writing another play, and he has never been idle.

The matter of Xu Yunqing's divorce has been on the hot search for two or three days, and then replaced by new gossip. Tao Liyang also controlled himself not to pay too much attention.It was just that when I contacted Tang Ran halfway, I asked, which company will Xu Yunqing sign with next?

Tang Randao hasn't heard of it yet, but the studio is definitely going to be dismantled, ask in two days, if he wants to come back to Yaoxing, he will arrange it.

Tao Liyang responded without saying anything.The three of them all met in college. Although he and Tang Ran were closer, even without him, according to Tang Ran's usual personality, Xu Yunqing would never ignore what he needed help with.As for Xu Yunqing, he never contacted him.

It happened to be Bai Lu on the day the film was officially wrapped, and it was not long before Tao Liyang arrived on the set, and it was already halfway through autumn in a blink of an eye.The ginkgo tree outside the window of the workshop is full of golden leaves. It looks extremely lush, but it will soon be depressed.

The finale banquet was held at the hotel where they stayed. The director at the same table ate a lot of sweet-scented osmanthus candy for dessert, and praised it for its authentic taste.Tao Liyang doesn't like sweets, but his mother likes them, so she asked the waiter that they were packaged and had a shelf life of one month, so she bought a few boxes.When I went back to N City to visit my parents in the afternoon, I simply took them with me.

"You didn't say anything in advance when you came back suddenly." Auntie opened the door, and Xu Anru was pleasantly surprised when she heard his voice in the dining room, and saw that he was holding a bag in his hand and blamed, "What are you talking about, and you How many times have I said, just go home when you go home, don’t bring anything.”

"I don't need the two ginseng that my friend gave me. Where can I put them if I don't take them home? There are also several boxes of sweet-scented osmanthus." Tao Liyang sat on a low stool in the entrance to change his shoes, and when Xu Anru asked him if he had eaten, he looked up. : "Not yet, have you eaten with Dad?"

"I'm eating now. So let you tell me in advance, and prepare more dishes that you like." Xu Anru shook her head disapprovingly, and then asked her aunt to add a shrimp egg and steamed two dragon head fish.

Tao Liyang called her: "No need, Mom, I'll eat whatever you and Dad eat. If it's not enough, I can ask Aunt Zhang to cook a bowl of noodles for me."

"How about that? It just so happens that the shrimps are ready-made. It's just that you like to eat bream and there is no preparation at home. The dragon head fish was bought this morning and it is still fresh. You will eat a little."

Tao Liyang just laughed, saying that he was done with it, put his arms around her shoulders and walked to the dining room, and when he got to Tao Cheng, he called out: "Dad."

Tao Cheng glanced at him and nodded: "You're back? Sit down."

Tao Liyang sat down beside him, poured a bowl of keel soup for himself, and chatted with Tao Cheng about the movie that had just finished.Xu Anru listened for a while, then suddenly remembered something, went to the bedroom and brought a bag: "The weather is getting cold again, are your legs still hurting recently? Why were you so careless at that time... I saw a Chinese medicine doctor and gave you some plaster, remember to apply it when you take it home."

"It doesn't hurt much anymore." Tao Liyang took it over: "Thank you, Mom."

Xu Anru babbled, and told a lot of things to pay attention to, Tao Cheng frowned and said: "He is already thirty, you still can't finish worrying about it."

"What's wrong with Thirty? Isn't Thirty my son?" Xu Anru reached out to pick up a chopstick of green bamboo shoots for him, and sighed, "Since you have a companion, mother will stop worrying. Don't be like you Su Uncle, at such an old age, there is no one around when you are sick and hospitalized, no matter how good and thoughtful the nurse is, can you be better than the family?"

Tao Liyang came out to his family very early, Xu Anru and Tao Cheng were angry for a few years, and gradually figured it out.I think it's okay to like a man, but I'm not satisfied with the fact that he is always unwilling to settle down.

I have to mention this every time I go home, but Tao Liyang didn't expect it to be so fast today. Xu Anru even started to say that the son of so-and-so's family is good, and you can go and meet the younger brother of that family. I don't know where she found it. So many people came... quickly changed the subject and asked: "Uncle Su? Uncle Su Zheng? What's wrong with him?"

Su Zheng is a director and a friend of Tao Cheng.Tao Liyang remembered that he was in good health, and he was still making movies last year.

"Liver cirrhosis, I've already had an operation, and I'm in Kangxing Hospital." Tao Cheng said, "Your mother and I went to see him a few days ago. Now that you're back, you're going to visit him too."

Tao Liyang looked at the clock in the dining room, it was still early: "Okay, I'll go after dinner."

"Go after dinner?" Xu Anru asked, "Then you come back to rest at night?"

"I'll go back to where I am. I still haven't finished writing the script."

Xu Anru's face was a little disappointed, and Tao Cheng slammed the table on the table: "If the child wants to leave, you let him go. It's not that he hasn't been weaned. You have to wake him up early in the morning. Will he be willing to rest at home?" He turned his head to Tao Liyang and said: "Since you said that the matter is not finished, then go back directly after visiting the sick, and don't wander around in some messy places. If you don't go anywhere during this time, you should go home and eat more, lest your mother Lao Nian. Don’t think she’s being naughty when you come back, if you weren’t her son, who would have time to take care of you.”

"Where am I talking too much?" Xu Anru said dissatisfied.

"Don't be long-winded, don't be long-winded." Tao Liyang smiled and got up to serve her a bowl of rice, then nodded and said, "Dad, I understand."

Kangxing Hospital is a private hospital with a good level of medical care, and the charges are of course much higher than other hospitals.The point is that the venue is large, there are not too many patients, and it is very quiet.Tao Liyang took an unopened gift box of Yanzhan from home, and bought a bunch of gladiolus at the entrance of the hospital.

Su Zheng just woke up and was very happy to see Tao Liyang. He praised him for the good writing of the notebook he won last year, and said that he could make some changes.Su Zheng has directed plays for many years, and there are many people who come to visit his patients, but there are always a few who he himself is willing to see.Finally, I met a junior who hit it off, and talked about it for an hour.Tao Liyang saw that he was a little tired, so he stood up and said goodbye, saying that he would come to see him again in a few days.

Su Zheng waved his hand: "You young people are busy with your own affairs, so you don't have to come and see me all the time. It's not a serious problem. You'll be discharged from the hospital next week."

"Then I'll go to your house to see you when the time comes, same." Tao Liyang smiled and said a few more words before leaving the ward.

It was already past nine o'clock, and there was hardly anyone in the hospital corridor except the doctors and nurses on duty. Tao Liyang pressed the elevator button, and saw a missed call on his phone and a WeChat message from his brother. He was answering, and the elevator The door opened, and inside was a young man.

They were stunned at the same time, and it was Xu Yunqing who pulled off his mask first: "What a coincidence?"

Tao Liyang came back to his senses, and soon put a smile on his face, and walked into the elevator: "Long time no see."
