from the star

"Before the food is served, He Bai, please let our ears enjoy themselves first."

Shao Weiming refilled another cup of tea for Tan Yue and himself. They sat cross-legged at the low table, chatting one after another, and the atmosphere was as harmonious as brothers who had no conflicts at all.

When Ling Qingyuan heard his words, he was naturally happy to agree.Originally, it was strange to sit around a table with those two big shots in Cheng Hebai's capacity.Shao Weiming's behavior style has never been deduced by common sense. He is a person who takes a long-term step at every step, and he doesn't know what he intends to ask Tan Yue to be a company intentionally or unintentionally today.

"May I ask if Mr. Tan has any repertoire that you should focus on?" Shao Weiming said with a smile, "Hebai is quite powerful, so far no one can beat him in the exam."

"I'm also an ordinary person, and I can't order any songs. Xiao Cheng can play whatever he wants according to the environment."

"The last time Mr. Tan went to Yaju, when we agreed on "Tiger Fight", didn't he have a song that he wanted to listen to? He didn't know how to play the new piano player at that time, so I felt very sorry and sorry. Since Hebai is here today , let him play and listen."

Tan Yue made no comment and acquiesced.

Ling Qingyuan sat down on the piano bench and played "The Boat Song".During the period, Shao Weiming tried to talk to Tan Yue, but the other party was listening to Cheng Hebai playing the piano very intently, without talking at all.

The music pours out, and the river flows eastward.Ten years later, Qingyuan Hebai was different after all.Playing this song again, Ling Qingyuan suddenly had a different understanding of the separation of brothers in the movie.

When he created it back then, he firmly believed that it was a war, an unavoidable violent situation that broke the ordinary lives of the two people.That kind of force broke an unknown and unresolved relationship he once had.As time goes by, when he, as Cheng Hebai, stands on the riverside tidal flat ten years later, looking at the lonely sail that is going away with the eastward flow, and looking at himself in the past, he suddenly feels that it is not war that separates brothers.

is choice.

The elder brother yearns for the military academy, is determined to join the revolution, and sprinkles his blood willingly.The younger brother wanted nothing but the safety of his family, so he stayed by his side, so that they could have a home after the warlords came to an end and the world was peaceful.

Since the choices are different and parting is inevitable, let's pray for each other's safety in this life.

Ling Qingyuan played a large section of cadenza calmly, the rhythm of the music gradually became faster and faster, and then turned into octave chords after continuous arpeggios.Don't travel far, wait for my return.It was the elder brother's begging for the safety of the younger brother.No news of death is good news, my brother embarked on the journey with such a mood.

Everything in the world flows with the water, and no matter how tragic the war, no matter how turbulent the situation is, it will eventually subside.The younger brother's footsteps in pursuit of his elder brother are like water flowing endlessly. As he walks, his memory will eventually be diluted by time, and he will gradually forget the separation he once had.Moving forward, there are new encounters.

At the end of the song, Ling Qingyuan realized that he had something to pay for it.At this time, he heard someone calling his name.

"...A piece of soundtrack from Qingyuan's movie ten years ago."

"What's the story about?"

"War and brothers."

"Isn't it impossible for a man to step in the same river twice?"

"Mr. Shao has depth."

Shao Weiming smiled: "It was Hebai who explained it to me before." Just when the food was served, Shao Weiming called Cheng Hebai to come and sit down.The latter left the piano, closed the shoji door, and sat down.

Tan Yue was still chatting with Shao Weiming.He restrained himself from going to see Cheng Hebai, he realized that after listening to his music, he always had too many things to say, pent up in his chest and didn't know where to start.The two "Boat Songs" are completely different in style, both are pleasant to the ear, and both of them can also resonate with certain parts.And he prefers today's song, which is like jumping and passionate waves, with the open mind of hundreds of rivers entering the sea.

Tan Yue raised his glass and said, "Mr. Shao has a heart, so please accompany him this time. Originally, the winner's performance was also agreed in advance, so there is no need to be so troublesome."

"Where. The other three are originally Hongxin's artists, so it doesn't matter how much you want to torment them. It's just you, Mr. Tan, we dare not neglect you no matter what. Please come on stage to perform the show. It's just a matter of delaying your time at night." For one thing, you have to pay for what should be paid." Shao Weiming raised his wine glass by himself, and filled it up in front of Cheng Hebai: "Hebai, do you think so?"

Ling Qingyuan nodded: "Mr. Shao said yes. Please, Mr. Tan."

After Shao Weiming saw Cheng Hebai drank this cup, he poured it on him and said, "Mr. Tan has praised you so many times, shouldn't you also respect him?"

Ling Qingyuan understood that Shao Weiming wanted to drink with him, so he drank two glasses without saying a word.

"Hebai, I just brought you here today because I saw that you and Mr. Tan are very close. Do you think you should drink?"

Ling Qingyuan knew that his position was restrained, so he gave Shao Weiming a wry smile, and the lips of the person who was toasted were not wet yet.Tan Yue speculated on the situation, and gently persuaded: "These are trivial matters."

"It's a small thing, but it's also a coincidence. There are so many people in the sky and the earth. The ancients regarded people who liked the same painting, the same song, and the same pot of wine as confidantes. I think He Bai is also a coincidence. He also likes director Ling Qingyuan It's rare that Mr. Tan likes your work."

Listening to Shao Weiming's tone, Tan Yue guessed that he was going to let Cheng Hebai drink again, so he hurriedly said: "Mr. Shao, you are one of the best people in the circle who know the world. I don't know what style of work you like."

"Me, I'm a businessman." Shao Weiming said in plain English: "Style doesn't matter, what I care about is input and output, as well as maximizing profits. However, Director Ling Hongxin was really interested. A few years ago, when "Lonicera" was shortlisted for Oscars, my uncle tried to get in touch with him, but it was a pity. As for you, Mr. Tan, I have heard that you value his works a long time ago."

Tan Yue looked at him, and gently lifted it: "I can't say it's important. It's like food, there are always things that are especially good for the stomach, but I don't know why."

Shao Weiming smiled and turned to the right: "What about Hebai, there are fewer and fewer young people who like pure art movies. Why do you like Ling Qingyuan's movies?"

Ling Qingyuan drank several glasses of wine and his reaction slowed down. Shao Weiming couldn't answer this question for a while.Why do I like my own movies? This is how people should open their mouths.Tan Yue on the opposite side was also looking at him. There was something in his eyes that he couldn't explain, he could see it in a daze and couldn't grasp it.

Ling Qingyuan was dumbfounded for a while and said: "This dish is delicious."

Hearing the answer, Shao Weiming smiled heartily, and took the opportunity to hold his cheek with one hand and shake it: "Hebai is simplicity. Eat more if it tastes good, and come again if you want to eat it."

Tan Yue poured himself a glass of wine, held it up for a few seconds and drank it straight away: "It's not a big deal today, but Mr. Lao Shao set up a table in such an elegant place, I'm really sorry."

Shao Weiming hurriedly pulled his hand back to accompany him for a drink: "I don't dare to be. It's really a blessing to see a rare tango today. I don't know that Mr. Tan still has this amazing talent."

"I practiced in college, but I'm not familiar with it. Amateur players, let Qinxin laugh."

The topic of the two then turned back to the program and the next job.Shao Weiming pointed at Cheng He Bailang with his chopsticks, smelling of alcohol, and said with a smile: "I said that He Bai has talent. This kid is a rookie, and he performed so well on his own. Hey, I think the fifth round is no problem."

"Hebai, you don't even know, you are very popular on the Internet now. When today's program airs, guess if you will go further. Unexpectedly, Hongxin has signed tens of thousands of artists. I have never seen someone as powerful as you."

"Why are you still in a daze, drink it." Shao Weiming filled the cup again with a bit of domineering, and forced it into Cheng Hebai's hand.He then said to Tan Yue: "Which player is Mr. Tan most optimistic about? "Tiger Fight" can also support potential newcomers. Hey, after the director of the script has changed, it finally caught people's eyes."

"Let's listen to director Zhang Shuli and producer Shao about the casting. I won't mix it up."

"Mr. Tan, you are good at everything, but you are too modest. Those boys in Hongxin should learn from you. How about, often cooperate and come to sit and sit, so that Wang Ledi can know that there is a sky beyond the sky."

Tan Yue could hear Shao Weiming's intention to poach people.After taking a sip of food, he only said that cooperation needs the right time, place and people, and he can't force it.

"I'm not afraid of making fun of you if you say it. Our Hongxin just doesn't have a decent first brother. Wang Ledi is too childish and doesn't take care of his younger generation. He is not as humane as Mr. Tan. For the younger generation, Fang Wenjun went to see his movie in person. Come to support."

"Wen Jun still has a lot of room to grow."

"Yeah, the newcomer award... I also told you in private that Wei Feng and Maitian Cinemas took the initiative to increase the number of shows, and the screening time was extended by two weeks. The box office should be quite ideal, conservatively estimated, breaking through [-] million. "

Tan Yue pointedly said: "Such a good result, the investor should be very happy." Shao Weiming pushed it lightly, saying that the lead actor Fang Wenjun should be happy.Tan Yue held the glass with a smile and said, "Xiao Fang only has these two taels, and I can't hold it if I continue to drink."

Shao Weiming said in a general way that there is no investor who is unwilling to see the film get paid back, and the two of them just clicked on it and didn't go into it further.

After drinking for three rounds, regardless of whether it is true or not, the three of them are a little bit drunk.There was a pattering sound from the vegetation outside the window, and the bamboo curtain was pulled open, and the koi pond shone brightly outside the glass of the floor-to-ceiling windows.

"It's raining a lot, and it's inconvenient to drive, so let's stay here tonight." Shao Weiming tried his best to persuade.

"Thank you for your kindness. However, the location here is a bit off, and it will be inconvenient to go to the company and catch up with the announcement tomorrow." Tan Yue guessed that Shao Weiming had a lot of scheming, and he would definitely not have any good intentions, so he insisted that he would never stay.

When Tan Yue said this, Shao Weiming didn't want to keep him any longer. He pulled Cheng Hebai to send Tan Yue out of the villa together.It is the end of summer, and the night rain is very cool.The light was dim, and the Japanese-style courtyard mansion looked very empty.The raindrops hitting the bamboo forest are like hitting a wooden fish.

Ling Qingyuan didn't dare to get too drunk, he was drunk a lot by Shao Weiming, but he also instinctively used two points of acting skills to maintain the last bit of freshness.He is afraid of getting drunk, Shao Weiming is a fox.He didn't interrupt the conversation between Tan Yue and Shao Weiming, but he heard every sentence.For the two of them, every sentence is not empty, and there is a vague reference.He was also afraid of getting dizzy, and instinctively said something he shouldn't have said.

Wu Dong drove Tan Yue's coupe out of the garage.Shao Weiming said that the actor is too simple, if he intends to come to Hongxin, he is willing to give him a luxury car.Tan Yue said that he didn't care much about these things, and then shifted his gaze to Cheng Hebai's side.

It seems a mystery that Shao Weiming brought Cheng Hebai to accompany him. Could it be that he simply wanted this young man to accompany him.If he hadn't been too sensitive, he would have sensed that Shao Weiming had some unsure intentions for this young man.Of course, if it is said to be insider trading and nurturing relationships... Tan Yue is of course deeply shameless, but this is Hongxin's territory, and there is no room for him to stand out...

Ling Qingyuan wanted to leave here.He saw the right moment, and suggested that he was too drunk to look good, and he shouldn't bother him anymore.He understood that in the current state, it would definitely not be easy to get along with Shao Weiming alone.

"Are you able to leave like this? Don't embarrass yourself here. I just praised you today, so don't help but humiliate yourself in front of Mr. Tan." Shao Weiming pretended to lose his temper, and reprimanded his artists with a somewhat mean attitude .He put his arms around Cheng Hebai's shoulders, making a gesture to bring him into his arms.

"Mr. Tan is a guest, where did you forget the way to see him off. I am the Lord, do I agree to let you go?" Shao Weiming said sharply.

Ling Qingyuan's mouth was full of bitterness, he didn't know what Shao Weiming meant by sticking the stick in his heart.What did Shao Weiming want to keep him for? In front of Tan Yue, Ling Qingyuan didn't want to be seen by Tan Yue as a smuggler seeking a higher position.

"Everyone gets drunk, there is nothing to be ashamed of when they look all kinds of strange." The car has arrived, and Tan Yue is still standing there looking at Shao Weiming and said: "Didn't we just say that we should be more tolerant to younger generations? Drunk, it's a mistake. If Mr. Shao doesn't mind, I'll take him to the neighborhood and let him take a taxi back."

Shao Weiming narrowed his eyes when Tan Yue came forward to help him.Shao Weiming, who pretended to be drunk, was sober as a fox.What's more surprising is that instead of sticking to his point of view, Shao Weiming insulted Cheng Hebai pretendingly, saying that he got a good deal and asked him to thank Tan Yue.Seeing Cheng Hebai repeatedly saying yes, he told Tan Yue again that he felt sorry for the trouble, and then let them go.

After the two of them left with the car, the courtyard fell into silence as the night fell.Shao Weiming sat down on the steps on the corridor of the eaves, and casually pulled a coriander root along the steps, his eyes flickered like stone lanterns dimly lit in the rain.It's a pity that Cheng Hebai was not left behind, but it also proved Cheng Hebai's value.Shao Weiming couldn't help thinking, if there was a drunk person in his arms, would Tan Yue still come forward to help him escape.

"What a "Boat Song"...I don't know music, but I know the difference between perfunctory acting and full-hearted devotion." Shao Weiming scrolled through Cheng Hebai's resume in his mind, family difficulties, a mother and a sister, and the loss of his father when he was young , the level of education is not high... but he has the talent of the gods, and he added another thing: he also has an inexplicable speculative relationship with the current actor.

Time is always long, playing with mice, you have to get tired of playing with them and eat them slowly.

"Where do you live?" Tan Yue asked Cheng Hebai as the car started.He didn't even have time to think about Shao Weiming's actions just now.Only subconsciously, subconsciously, he couldn't be allowed to stay by Shao Weiming's side.

"It's fine to stop in the urban area. I can find it." Ling Qingyuan leaned on the cushion uncomfortably, trying to suppress the nausea with his head up.

After a little silence, Tan Yue directly asked Wu Dong, who was driving, if he knew where Hongxin Entertainment's apartment complex was.Wu Dong gave an address, and Tan Yue consulted Cheng Hebai, as if asking for confirmation: "If you don't tell me, Wu Dong will drive there."

"...It's Xinhong District, it's troublesome."

"If you don't feel comfortable talking, don't talk. Take a break, and Wu Dong will call you when you arrive."

Ling Qingyuan thanked softly, turned his head to the window, closed his eyes and began to let go.He could feel Tan Yue's substantive eyes covering him, giving him a feeling of uncertainty, maybe they both had such doubts.

"Who filmed "Scent of a Woman"?" Tan Yue asked.In the closed carriage, his voice was unhurried and inducing, but he buried his exploration very deeply.

"Martin Brest." Ling Qingyuan lazily replied.

"Xiao Cheng, you are a fan of Qingyuan, right? You should know the release time of each of his movies." Tan Yue was still chatting with him.

"Hmm. "Gone Water" in [-], "Lonicera" in [-], "Island" in [-], "Warrior" in [-], and then "The Return of the Soul".Ling Qingyuan yawned and continued to be lazy along with the drunkenness.

""Passing Water" has not been approved to be screened in the mainland..." Tan Yue looked at Cheng Hebai with narrowed eyes, as if telling himself every single word: "You were only so old at that time, and what did you understand... so that you can see Its theme song is played in a movie style."

"Choose..." Ling Qingyuan was breathing heavily, responding to Tan Yue one after another, like a cat being brushed.

In the movie "Passing Water", nine out of ten viewers read the brotherhood torn apart by the war.However, Tan Yue knew that Ling Qingyuan conceived and directed this film as a gift for his good buddy, his best friend who entered the marriage hall.From the outside to the inside, the gist of the story is actually an accusation against the brothers who were forced to go their separate ways, and the longing for the two who can never see each other again.

It's not just about war, it's not just about brothers.

"You rest first."

Tan Yue didn't say much all the way, but just looked sideways at Cheng Hebai, staring at Cheng Hebai as if he was in a state of concentration, and could almost count his shallow breaths.When the car arrived at Xinhong Garden, the sudden shower at night had already subsided a lot.Wu Dong stopped the car and turned around to wake up Cheng Hebai.Tan Yue made a stop gesture, hesitated for a moment and leaned slightly in Cheng Hebai's direction.

"Xiao Cheng." Tan Yue patted his arm.He didn't sleep soundly, but he was resting his mind, and Tan Yue's consciousness soon returned.He pressed his forehead, sat up straight and went to open the door.

"Thank you, thank you very much, Mr. Tan, and please trouble Master Wu."

"Be careful when walking at night." Tan Yue didn't say much. In anyone's eyes, the two of them only met each other a few times.Cheng Hebai next to him quickly got out of the car, helped them close the car door, and slowly moved back to the community after watching the coupe go away.

"Brother Yue, that kid is..." Wu Dong knew that Tan Yue was a man, and he had nothing to say about being nice to others on the surface, but he had a sense of proportion, so he wouldn't take care of a drunk newcomer like this.

"Do you still remember that we went to the movie before and heard a pair of brother and sister talking about acting behind the poster. This is the brother."

Wu Dong searched his memory, and suddenly sighed: "Oh, that kid who can speak well. I don't remember that he has never eaten pork, but he knows how to raise pigs."

Wu Dong's metaphor is too common.Tan Yue also took a joke: "I always feel that he has not only raised pigs, but also killed them. If someone has entered a pigsty, the smell will linger for a long time."

"Then what is he, a young man, the lost cousin of Brother Pig?"

"Shut up your stinking mouth, Wu Dong, if you say anything, you'll be scolding yourself too. What kind of pigs are there? Isn't everyone in the circle very bright?"

Wu Dong felt aggrieved and called Brother Yue, saying that he was the one who said the pen was a pigsty.I only heard Tan Yue say again: "Recently, my delusions have become more and more outrageous. I always feel that I have met someone who is impossible to see again."

Wu Dong quickly comforted: "Brother Yue has been working too hard recently." Tan Yue nodded and said maybe.But I couldn't help but think of the young man who sat next to me, the coldness between his brows, and the sparkle of his smile.
