24 Lies

After shooting that scene, Li Zhiyuan rushed out to find Yan Mao.

He told Yan Mao everything in 1 minute, without embellishment, and told the other party the matter in the most concise language like a report.

Yan Mao's reaction was much calmer than he expected. Instead of getting angry, he comforted Li Zhiyuan: "What's the matter! It's just a relationship. It's not up to me to care who he likes to be with."

Li Zhiyuan raised his head: "...you don't mind?"

"If I mind, can I support him to make your film?" Yan Mao laughed, "Lao Li, don't worry about these things, you can shoot as you want."

Li Zhiyuan seemed more worried than Yan Mao, and asked: "Will there be trouble at your wife's house? God, I'm really afraid that your sister-in-law will come to trouble me."

Yan Mao laughed: "If Ming Wenyu really hated homosexuality, she wouldn't invest in this movie for you. She just hates me. You don't have to worry too much about other things. The family still loves Ah Zheng very much."

Only then did Li Zhiyuan feel relieved, but he still sighed: "But...they are filming after all, so I can't tell if they have involved themselves."

Yan Mao nodded: "Well, I will remind him."

After a very short exchange, Li Zhiyuan was called to see the film changer to change the film.

Yan Mao took out the cigar box from his pocket, and just after opening the box, Zheng Guanyu came out from the bathroom.He had already dressed, and was arranging the watch on his wrist, and then searched Gao Xiaoyu's house for a while, as if he was looking for someone.

Yan Mao took out a cigar and saw Ming Zheng coming out of the bathroom.He should have washed his face, his hair was a bit messy, and he was taking the towel handed to him by the staff to wipe his face.

Yan Mao would always look at Ming Zheng and start to lose his mind.

Ming Zheng looks so much like his mother, almost carved out of the same mold as Ming Wenlan.

Time flies so fast.Yan Mao sighed silently, suddenly missed his dead wife very much at that moment.

In fact, when Ming Wenlan was pregnant, Yan Mao was kept in the dark. It was about four or five months before Ming Wenlan mercifully told him.

At that time, others were still filming on the set...Ming Wenlan said to him on the phone: Our family wants this child to be named Ming.

In the second year after giving birth to Mingzheng, she passed away due to illness.

At that time, the Ming family's business was in a mess, and every time Yan Mao went to Wanding to see his children, he would quarrel with Ming Wenyu.He wanted to take Mingzheng to the United States, but Ming Wenyu disagreed. She explained that the child of the family had to be raised by herself, and that the child must follow Ming's family name...

Yan Mao was still staring at Ming Zheng in a daze, when a person suddenly blocked his sight.

Zheng Guanyu breathed out lightly, and said to him, "Director Yan, can we chat?"

Yan Mao sized him up for a moment, then smiled: "Okay."

They went down to the first floor and stood at the entrance of the corridor.It was raining outside at the moment, the rain was a bit exaggerated, it was almost impossible to see things, and the sound of the rain was very loud.

They stepped back a little to avoid getting their trousers wet from the splashing water.

Yan Mao took a cigar and handed it to Zheng Guanyu: "Try?"

Zheng Guanyu shook his head, saying he doesn't smoke.

Yan Mao didn't force it, just took out the lighter and planned to light one for himself, when Zheng Guanyu suddenly said to him: "Mingzheng doesn't like the smell of cigarettes."

Yan Mao nodded: "I know." He smiled, "So?"

The rain was so loud that they needed to raise their volume a little when they were talking.Yan Mao's tone was very deep, and he couldn't hear any emotions, but he had an aura of calmness and self-confidence, especially when he was sizing up people...

Zheng Guanyu looked down at the cigar slowly being lit in Yan Mao's hand.

He exhaled lightly, and said to Yan Mao amidst the sound of rain: "Director Yan, can you give me Mingzheng?"

Yan Mao paused as he lit his cigar, and asked in surprise, "Give it to you?"

"Yes." Zheng Guanyu took out a card and handed it over, "Director Yan, give him to me, it doesn't matter if it's money or other conditions...you can just mention it."

His tone was steady, but he was actually nervous.To be honest, Zheng Guanyu hasn't been this nervous for a long, long time.

The level of tension is no less than when he attended the award ceremony at the age of 22...

That year, Zheng Guanyu was nominated together with a veteran actor who had been waiting for the best actor for many years. Whether he could win the award was very much in doubt.During the few minutes of waiting for the result, Zheng Guanyu's back was completely wet, that suffocating tension...he will never forget it.

He thought he would run with him, and he had even thought about the expression he would deal with later in his heart. He must smile appropriately, and applaud the senior from the bottom of his heart...

But the host announced the final result——

"This year's Best Actor is... "Incomplete Beauty", Zheng Guanyu! Please come to the stage to accept the award!"

For so many years in the industry, Zheng Guanyu has always felt that he is very responsible and hardworking. He has followed the steps step by step and has not done anything out of the ordinary. Even if Yuji tried to dig him up, he couldn't find anything.

He rarely acts irrationally.

It is very irrational to come to Yan Mao rashly today.After all, he had never been impulsive or desperate for anyone or anything in the past.

But after meeting Ming Zheng, he always loses control and always does things that Zheng Guanyu would not do.

Zheng Guanyu felt that his right hand was still shaking: "I want to... buy him a free body."

Yan Mao laughed: "You are quite courageous."

Zheng Guanyu: "I want to try."

Yan Mao laughed after hearing this. He heard that Zheng Guanyu didn't know that Mingzheng was his son, so he probably was playing with others again.

He bit his cigar and took a deep breath, looking at Zheng Guanyu through the smoke...

The face is very plastic, and the appearance is very suitable for the big screen. I have been filming for so many years, but the eyes are still very clean... The scene is quite wide, the face has a kind of tolerance, and the bones are relatively soft.

Yan Mao silently gave Zheng Guanyu a score in his heart, and was considering the possibility of cooperating with him, because Yan Mao's next play happened to need a representative oriental face, and Zheng Guanyu's appearance fit his standards very well.

Seems not bad.

After pondering for a while, Yan Mao asked, "Did Mingzheng ask you to come and tell me?"

Zheng Guanyu shook his head: "No, Director Yan, this matter has nothing to do with him, it's my unilateral liking for him."

Yan Mao nodded and asked curiously, "What do you like about him?"

Zheng Guanyu was taken aback, not knowing why Yan Mao would ask such a question, he hesitated before answering: "I fell in love at first sight, but you want me to ask me what I like... I can't say, and I can't tell."

"That's it." Yan Mao smiled, "Then where have you developed so far?"

Zheng Guanyu felt more and more strange, but still answered cautiously: "We are just filming, so far there is no development, I want to talk to you before making a decision."

Yan Mao nodded: "Okay, I understand. You are quite particular, and this kind of thing needs to go through a process."

Zheng Guanyu lowered his head and said, "I understand the rules."

Yan Mao wanted to laugh, but he held back, and quickly smoked a cigar to hide his smile.

"It's good to know the rules. But...you don't need to ask me if you want to chase him. Our family is very enlightened and won't interfere with children's love affairs. Also, it's too much for you to buy him with me. How could I sell my son to you?"

Zheng Guanyu's expression froze for a moment.

His mind went blank for two seconds: "...son?"

To be honest, his first reaction was wrong, he thought it was a strange relationship between godfather and son.

"Although he doesn't look much like him, he is indeed my son." Yan Mao looked at him, "Is there a problem?"

Zheng Guanyu: "..."

Now Zheng Guanyu was completely dumbfounded, unable to speak.

Yan Mao smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Ming Zheng was raised by his aunt to practice martial arts in the deep mountains of Myanmar when he was a child. When he was a child, he had no peers around him, only a master. This may cause him to have a strange personality and a lot of thoughts. I It feels like he's teasing you with me? I'm sorry, this kid has been very obedient since he was a child. "

Zheng Guanyu: "..."

...why don't they look alike at all?

Yan Mao seemed to see his doubts, and the next sentence was: "I can't tell that he is my son, can I? He looks like his mother."

... Then why isn't Ming Zheng's surname Yan?

fake name? ?

Zheng Guanyu's heart was suddenly in a state of confusion...

So as soon as they met, they filmed a passionate scene in front of his father, right, and he even got a card to buy his son from Yan Mao?

Yan Mao was still smoking a cigar and looking at him, waiting for him to speak.

Zheng Guanyu forgot to manage his expressions in an instant, became embarrassed, and stammered: "Uncle... no, Director Yan, I'm sorry... because I've heard about you and Mingzheng before..."

"Well, I know, there are a lot of gossip outside." Yan Mao said, "My marriage with his mother is complicated, so it has never been made public. Many people don't know that I have a son, and Ming Zheng doesn't want me to make it public. If others misunderstand, they will misunderstand, and we don't care."

……

Zheng Guanyu's face turned red almost at the speed of light, and he really wanted to conjure up an invisibility cloak to put on himself, thinking he might as well run into the heavy rain nearby...

He was looking for an excuse to take a step ahead, but Yan Mao said the last sentence to him——

"It doesn't matter if you fall in love, it's your business, it has nothing to do with me." Yan Mao said, "But from the director's point of view, I hope you can put your personal feelings outside the play. A play is a play, and life is life. You have to make a clear distinction. It's best to calm down after filming this movie, and think about things together before thinking about it. Can you?"

The meaning of these words is to ask them not to delay the filming no matter what, it is already a reminder to him.

Zheng Guanyu nodded weakly and ashamedly: "I understand, Director Yan, don't worry."

After speaking, both of them were speechless.

Yan Mao could see that he was embarrassed, it seemed that embarrassment was written all over his hair.

Feeling that Zheng Guanyu was about to cry out of embarrassment if he stayed any longer, Yan Mao bit his cigar and said something about the next chat, then turned and went upstairs.

Zheng Guanyu watched Yan Mao leave in a daze.

Looking at the torrential rain outside for a while, Zheng Guanyu stretched out his hand to catch the raindrops... The rain was so heavy that it hurt a little when it hit his hands.

Withdrawing his hand, he pressed the handful of rain in his hand to his face without hesitation——

Sober up.

Then the mood gradually turned from embarrassment to anger.

He walked upstairs and walked into Gao Xiaoyu's house. The crew was asking Mingzheng to cut the birthday cake, while Li Zhiyuan and Yan Mao were smoking by the window.The sound of the rain outside was inexplicably setting off the lively and warm atmosphere in the room.

It's raining heavily outside, and it's not convenient to call it a day and leave. It seems that the crew is planning to let Mingzheng celebrate his birthday here before leaving.

Zheng Guanyu took a deep breath, and walked towards Ming Zheng's back filled with anger.

Seeing him coming, Ming Zheng tilted his head and smiled at him with an innocent look on his face.

Zheng Guanyu couldn't restrain the anger in his heart at all, he almost forgot that there were so many staff around him, staring at him.

The few staff who had gathered around Ming Zheng sensed Zheng Guanyu's anomaly, and avoided it with their plates, not wanting to get involved in the love-hate relationship between the leading actors.

Zheng Guanyu just stared at him for a while, clenching his fists tighter and tighter.

"Are you done talking?" Ming Zheng leaned into his ear, "Did Director Yan agree to sell me to you? How much did it cost?"

"..."

Zheng Guanyu stared at him expressionlessly, thought for a moment, then suddenly picked up a small plate of cut cakes on the table and pressed it on Ming Zheng's face——

But the strange thing is that Mingzheng didn't hide and just looked at him quietly.

——The plate of cake stopped before it touched Ming Zheng's cheek.

Zheng Guanyu felt himself trembling with anger... But even though he had done everything, he still couldn't bear to slap the cake on this person's face.

Zheng Guanyu felt even more angry because of his soft heart, and cursed in a low voice: "...fuck me."

Ming Zheng was taken aback: "What did you say?"

Zheng Guanyu stared at him, and repeated in a low voice: "I said fuck."

"..."

Ming Zheng was a little surprised.

Zheng Guanyu?

dirty words? ?

The scolding really didn't match his image, Mingzheng was so immersed in the meme that he couldn't help himself, he even forgot to cut the cake...

Zheng Guanyu let out a long sigh of relief and asked him, "Is it fun to lie to me?"

"...How could I have lied to you." Ming Zheng sighed, "You must have misunderstood yourself, and I will just plan."

"It's really a good plan. If you lose two or three, I'll blow you up with the ghost." Zheng Guanyu sneered, "Is it fun?"

"I persuaded you, you said it yourself, did I persuade you?" Mingzheng said sincerely, "I told you not to go in the toilet just now, but you rushed out in a fit of anger, and you couldn't hold back... ..."

"You just want to see me laugh."

"I'm not." Mingzheng retorted softly, "I'm not."

"Then why didn't you say it??!"

Mingzheng glanced at him carefully: "...I'm also afraid that you will lie to me."

"What can I lie to you??"

Ming Zheng stopped talking and lowered his head to cut the cake.

After being silent for a while, Zheng Guanyu's mind was in a mess, and he couldn't tell whether he was feeling lucky or disappointed...

But one thing is obvious, in this movie, he is not helping the poor newcomers, but studying with the prince...

Zheng Guanyu held his forehead and let out a long sigh.

"Don't be angry." Mingzheng said, "...This is going to let you meet your parents directly, go buy a bunch of firecrackers and set them off."

Zheng Guan's tone was deadly: "Who wants to meet parents in this way!"

"I'll see you anyway."

"...It's embarrassing, do you know that?"

"You're going to run and say it yourself."

"If it wasn't for you provoking me with words all day long, I would be jealous all day long and pretend to be like this?"

Mingzheng sighed, pointed to a plate of beautifully cut cakes on the table and said, "...If you're really angry, slap me on the face to calm you down. Come on, I won't hide."

After speaking, he moved his face closer, waiting for Zheng Guanyu to slap the cake on his face.

Zheng Guanyu looked at him, then at the plate of cakes, and then heaved a long sigh.

He picked out a little cream with his index finger, moved closer, and gently wiped it on Ming Zheng's nose.

Ming Zheng froze for a moment, then took a step back at a loss.

"Reluctance." Zheng Guanyu sighed, "Okay, happy birthday."
