perfect out of control

At the end of the day, Tan Zhen met with the people from the "Falling in Love with Friday" program group. Tang Lin said that she was going to find Xia Qian backstage, but Tan Zhen said she would go first. I want to have dinner with you all."

Tan Zhen said with a smile that he still had something to do, which was just an excuse.

Sheng Ye followed everyone in the program group to the backstage, and he walked at the end alone. Hearing the voices of Sister Tang Lin and Xie Feifei chatting in front, he turned his head quietly and saw the back of Tan Zhen leaving alone.

Tan Zhen was walking to the elevator entrance and waiting for the elevator. He was the only one there. He pressed the button and put his hand back into the pocket of his coat. He was still wearing the Patek Philippe watch. When he reached out to press the elevator button, Sheng Ye caught him. The thin dial on his cuff reflects light. He still remembers that the back of this watch is completely transparent, and the golden gears rotate every second. This is a watch that Tan Zhen likes very much, and he has worn it for many years.

The pale lights in the corridor and Tan Zhen's long black clothes made his figure look extraordinarily gloomy.Sheng Ye looked at him for a few seconds, then looked away.

The elevator slowly ascended from the underground parking lot and made a slight clicking sound when it reached the floor. Before the elevator door was about to open, Tan Zhen turned his head unconsciously and looked at the end of the corridor.

There was no one there.

On December 12, Xia Qian went to Tan Zhen's mother's birthday party in the banquet hall of the Hilton Hotel.A wedding was being held in a large banquet hall downstairs, and Tan Zhen's mother's birthday banquet upstairs was not much smaller than other weddings. Xia Qian counted the tables boredly as she passed the banquet hall downstairs, and there were thirty tables. Mama Tan has 18 tables for a birthday party every year, which is really enviable.

Not only is the grand occasion, but the guests present will also receive valuable gifts. Xia Qian was a little shocked when she unwrapped the package. Being Tan Zhen's mother is really very honorable.

At the banquet, I also saw Tan Zhen's cousins, but they all didn't look like Tan Zhen, and there was really no blood relationship. It seemed that Tan Zhen's excellent face was mostly inherited from his mother.

Xia Qian didn't see Tan Zhen and Tan Qian, and a dedicated waiter took her to a seat. After reading her invitation letter, she led her directly to a table near the main table.Not long after she was seated, a young couple came up to talk and held a little girl by the hand.

The young couple are Tan Zhen's cousin and sister-in-law, and the little girl is Tan Zhen's niece, who is also learning the cello and came to take a photo with Xia Qian.

Xia Qian got up, knelt down to take a photo with her little fan, and accidentally took a picture of the braces the little girl was wearing, so she simply deleted it and took a new one. She held up her phone and brushed her long hair to her ear Finally, he said to the little girl: "Come on, beautiful~"

While taking a photo with the girl, Tan Zhen's father, Tan Mengsheng, also came over from the next table and was chatting with his nephew. Xia Qian handed the phone she had taken to the little girl, and got up to say hello to the elder.

Tan Mengsheng nodded and said, "You sit down first, Tan Zhen will come over later."

Xia Qian said in her heart that it's none of my business if he doesn't come over, you're too oblivious.

At this moment, the little girl raised her head innocently and asked, "Are you Uncle Tan Zhen's girlfriend?"

Before Xia Qian answered, Tan Mengsheng rubbed the girl's head and said, "You can call him aunt."

When he said this, everyone at the table looked this way, Xia Qian raised her eyes and glanced at Tan Mengsheng, then bent down and smiled and said to the little fans: "I am not, you should call me sister." She said to the girl After blinking, the girl immediately understood and blinked back at her.

It was close to noon, the cold dishes were finished, and it was finally the turn of the hot dishes. Xia Qian drank drinks boredly, because she drove here by herself, and she couldn't even touch the red wine. She just wanted to finish this exorbitant lunch quickly and leave.Finally, when the lights dimmed, someone played the violin, and everyone sang the birthday song. Tan Zhen's siblings came out pushing a big cake. She looked at the front table and saw Tan Zhen's mother's eyes were red.

To be honest, she didn't understand very well. Is it really touching to organize birthdays like this every year?

Seeing the mother get up and blow out the candles, Xia Qian thought to herself, this family is really interesting, the children are very sensible, but the adults are not so sensible.

Tan Zhen finished recording the last issue of "Actor" before Christmas, and immediately joined the group.The new play "The Musician" tells the story of a talented cellist who is not understood by the outside world, who is obsessed with dreams and is also limited by dreams.

Most of the domestic filming was shot at the CTR Conservatory of Music. In one scene, the protagonist sat under the tall ginkgo tree on the campus and played Bach's works. And the person playing the violin seems to have merged with the violin in his arms, unaware of the cold wind and fallen leaves.Bach's Unaccompanied Cello Suite No. [-] in G major reflects the bleak winter with a kind of bitter Zen philosophy.

Director Lin Lai watched the filming screen from the director's supervisor. Tan Zhen's cello level is still very elementary, but the technique of vibrato is already very authentic. Usually, the cello teacher demonstrates the movements, and he can master them proficiently. When it comes to the sound of the piano, you can see that he is wearing a rustic old coat, holding the cello in his arms, with a concentrated expression, and his slender fingers are walking on the strings, like playing, more like a search, the picture is really beautiful and poetic.

He is in this golden place, as if in a utopia above the clouds.

Tan Zhen is such an actor, he can give a limited shot a meaningful artistic conception, people say that he is the kind of "actor born for the big screen", but the truth of this ability has nothing to do with acting skills, it is purely due to appearance and temperament, It is natural, and others cannot envy it.

Lin Lai yelled "CUT" in satisfaction, and the shot was over with only one shot.Tan Zhen stood up and supported his piano. He was wearing an old blue-gray overcoat and an old scarf. The old coat didn't keep warm and the weather was cold, but he didn't care about playing the violin. feel cold.

Classical music seemed to really give him a baptism of detachment, and he hadn't felt so peaceful for a long time.

Usually after filming a performance scene, he would take the cello away by himself without bothering the staff.He likes the cello. It is different from the piano and the violin. The piano is too heavy, while the violin is too petite. Only the cello has the weight of a "partner" and "partner", and only the cello is an instrument that needs to be played by holding it.

Director Lin Lai joked that he would suddenly fall in love with the cello, perhaps because he had been single for too long.

Tan Zhen laughed when he heard this, and lowered his head, as if he was missing something.

Because the filming location is at the CTR Conservatory of Music, Chen Bohan will come to visit the class from time to time. Tan Zhen just finished filming the morning scene and was resting in the nanny car. door.

Tan Zhen was reading the script of an afternoon play, and was puzzled by Chen Bohan's posture.

Chen Bohan sat down beside Tan Zhen, turned around worriedly and asked him, "When did you and Xia Qian date?"

Tan Zhen frowned: "Who said I was dating her?"

Chen Bohan said: "I met Fei Yue today, he came to ask me if you were dating Xia Qian, and I was completely confused."

Upon hearing this, Tan Zhen closed the script a little irritably, and said in a deep voice, "It's nothing."

Chen Bohan looked at his irritable expression suspiciously, and asked, "Really? You can't hide this kind of thing from me." In the past, he would never have doubted Tan Zhen like this. Tan Zhen is the artist with the highest security factor. After working together for many years, there is a tacit understanding and trust, but now, he seems to be uncertain.

Tan Zhen put down the script and said, "Why don't you trust me and trust outsiders?"

Chen Bohan breathed a sigh of relief: "It's fine, Xia Qian... In short, you should not get too close. She shouldn't go to your mother's birthday party."

"That's not my birthday party," Tan Zhen said, "My mother will not invite anyone without my approval. Also," he said seriously, "I told you that Xia Qian is my high school classmate, please understand Tell me, can I still have a little normal social interaction?"

Chen Bohan noticed that Tan Zhen's emotions had been not right during this time, and there were too many rhetorical questions when he spoke. When he was about to continue reading the script, he still coughed and said, "I didn't mean to interfere with your social life, you used to get so close to Sheng Ye, didn't I also..."

Tan Zhen took a heavy breath, put down the script, and there was a sound when the script was slapped on his thigh. He raised his eyes and looked at Chen Bohan.

Chen Bohan nodded with interest, and skipped Sheng Ye's topic: "But Xia Qian, I heard," he said with some embarrassment, "I heard that she is Les, you should not..."

Chen Bohan was still talking about something, Tan Zhen listened to the agent's earnest words, his thoughts were a little blank, he didn't speak, and he didn't listen.He thought of Xia Qian in high school, and how he accidentally caught Xia Qian taking a cigarette from another senior sister and putting it in his mouth to smoke. That scene made him blush suddenly, feeling like he had bumped into her. The incredible scene was discovered by Xia Qian when she was standing there in a daze, and she was even gouged out.Originally, he felt that Xia Qian didn't like him very much, but after that, his dislike for him seemed to intensify.

He interrupted Chen Bohan: "Since when have you cared about other people's private life like paparazzi?"

"I don't care about her," Chen Bohan said, "I care about you." Tan Zhen suddenly said such a thing, did he think too much, why did it sound a bit protective?

"Chen Bohan, she and I are really just friends." Tan Zhen said calmly.

Chen Bohan looked into Tan Zhen's eyes back and forth, feeling that he was not fake, so he patted him on the shoulder: "It's all right, I'll go and explain it to these people."

"Do you need me to go online to clarify?" Tan Zhen said, he didn't know how many times he posted the single declaration, and now he doesn't care, he can do as much as he wants.

"No need," Chen Bohan didn't want to make a fuss and self-defeating, "This matter is only known to people in the circle of friends, I will talk about it, and you should talk about it, especially your relatives, oh yes, you let Xia Qian follow me People explain."

Tan Zhen nodded: "I see, I want to read the script."

Seeing that he didn't want to talk anymore, Chen Bohan nodded and got out of the car.

But Tan Zhen couldn't stand it anymore. He turned on his phone and opened WeChat. Sheng Ye was still in his WeChat list. Although he had already sunk down because he had no contact, he even remembered where Jackson's profile picture was sunk.Sheng Ye has never posted Moments, and he himself has no habit of posting Moments. Although they are in each other's contact lists, there is surprisingly no intersection, not even comparable to such things as "WeChat Pay" and "SF Express".

He turned to Xia Qian's profile picture again, thought for a while, and clicked to open a WeChat: Let's meet up, I have something to ask you.
