At two o'clock in the morning, Le Wei finished the script, went to the kitchen to drink a glass of water, and planned to sleep.

When he came back, he glanced at Xia Chu's room, but there was a ray of light coming from the room where the lights should have been turned off.

He walked over and knocked lightly on the door.

"Xia Chu, are you still asleep?"

There was a "hmm" in the room.

"Can I go in?"

"come in."

Levi pressed down the handle and walked in.

Only the desk lamp was on in the room, under the dim light, Xia Chu was sitting on the recliner.

The fetus was developing, the belly was swollen, and the usual chair could no longer sit on it. Xia Chu always felt panicked, so Le Wei bought him a reclining chair.The recliner can be rocked, and it is very fun to shake. Xia Chu doesn't even go to the study, and reads all the daily documents on the recliner.Le Wei thinks that everyone is an adult and can play some mature games. It’s just a reclining chair, so what can it do if it’s fun? So he also went up to lie down...

He ordered a second one and was on his way.

Le Wei walked to Xia Chu's side. Xia Chu had a yellowed photo album spread out on his lap, and he had already flipped through several pages.Le Wei didn't ask him why he didn't sleep, but sat on the floor with his chin resting on the armrest of the recliner, pointed to one of the photos and asked him, "Who is this?"

The child in the photo is about seven or eight years old, with thin eyebrows and red lips, and a fiery red ethnic dress dragged to the ground, with big and round eyes, looking at the camera innocently.

"Guess." Xia Chu smiled.

Le Wei looked at the photo, then at Xia Chu: "You still have such a dark history?"

"Didn't you when you were a kid?"

More than that, it is simply unbearable to look back.

"Who is this again?" Levi asked, pointing to a photo in the lower right corner.

The background of the photo is ***, a fashionable and beautiful woman, with big waves in her hair, carrying a bag in one hand, and hugging Xia Chu intimately in the other.

"Xun Fengyun, a well-known actress in the past, retired from filming and went to France." Xia Chu said, "She is a good friend of my father. Always help us."

Xia Chu turned a page, and Le Wei saw Director Xia standing on the Berlin podium in high spirits back then.

"Who took this photo?" Le Wei approached, "Director Xia is so young."

"I don't know who took the picture," Xia Chu said with a smile, "I wasn't there when Dad took the silver bear."

The dim light outlined Xia Chu's smile warmly and softly. Le Wei looked up at Xia Chu's side face, and couldn't help asking: "The script of "The Last Farewell" was written by Director Xia, right?"

Xia Chu stared into Le Wei's eyes.

"He wrote a story about himself and Gu Hongwen," Xia Chu said, "Would you like to hear it?"

At the age of 17, Xia Yingzhi, a boy from a small town, met Gu Hongwen, a son of an official from Beijing.

The other party was three years older than him, handsome, suave, with the atmosphere and free and easy from the capital, which made the town teenagers look forward to deeply.

Three months later, Gu Hongwen returned to Beijing, bringing with him the young man who was completely fascinated by him.

The young man was good at painting, and when Gu Hongwen got the camera he was tired of playing with, he took decent pictures.On a whim, Gu Hongwen said that he might be able to make a movie, and introduced him to the teachers of the Film Academy.At that time, the young man could count the movies he had seen on one hand, and he didn’t even know what making a movie was. When he met his teacher, he answered irrelevant questions and talked like chickens and ducks. , this kid has a simple mind and is very suitable, but if you want to ask him to make a movie, I'm afraid it will be difficult.

Yes, the whole capital knew that the young master of the Gu family was a flirtatious man, that he was not jealous of men and women, and that he would bring someone back from his trips to the Northwest, but Xia Yingzhi didn't know that, and thought that Gu Hongwen was devoted to him, so he offered all his sincerity.

Gu Hongwen has been successful since he was a child, only he doesn't want it, and he can't get it without him.The teacher's words aroused his competitive spirit, originally he just thought that Xia Yingzhi was fun, and thought of playing for two days and threw him away, but now he is competitive and wants to carve out flowers from the dead wood.

He invited famous teachers for Xia Yingzhi and trained them day and night. Xia Yingzhi was extremely talented and made rapid progress. Three months later, he was successfully admitted to the Film Academy.

At the age of 21, Xia Yingzhi had been with Gu Hongwen for four years.He lives in Gu Hongwen's big apartment on Beijing's Second Ring Road, and he doesn't see Gu Hongwen once a week.Someone told him that Gu Hongwen was playing and singing outside every night, but he just didn't know it. Except for class, he would go home and watch movies on the big TV with the DVD player Gu Hongwen bought.

At the end of the semester, the teacher asked him to hand in a short film. He spent a week at home writing the script, and spent another month shooting it. After the filming was finished, he made it into a CD and took it home for a final review.Gu Hongwen came back at the beginning of the short film, smelling of alcohol all over his body, his eyes were blurred, he pressed him on the sofa and rubbed him from the inside out.After the love affair, Gu Hongwen pointed to the TV while stroking his smooth skin and asked, "What is this?"

The short film has finished broadcasting, and the screen freezes in white text on a black background.

"Director: Xia Yingzhi."

Xia Yingzhi said: "I took the picture, final assignment."

Gu Hongwen adjusted the short film to the beginning, sat on the sofa and watched it from the beginning. Halfway through, he pressed Xia Yingzhi under him again.

Xia Yingzhi was tossed and tossed by him all night. When he woke up the next day, he thought that Gu Hongwen had left long ago, but he saw the man sitting by the bed, playing with his sensitive parts, and said casually, "That film is very good, take it to the competition." Bar."

Xia Yingzhi didn't know how to compete, and neither did Gu Hongwen.But someone around Gu Hongwen understood, and he gave a single word of instruction, and soon Xia Yingzhi's short film appeared on the list of entries for the Sundance Film Festival.

It was Xia Yingzhi's first time walking the red carpet, he was extremely nervous and at a loss what to do.The suit on his body made him restrained, and he was dizzy looking at the flashing lights.Suddenly a hand greeted him from behind, firmly supporting his waist.

"Don't be afraid," Gu Hongwen whispered, "I'm here."

Xia Yingzhi shined at the Sundance Film Festival and became a celebrity after returning to China.Some people began to contact him actively and offered him funds to make films. At the age of 23, Gu Hongwen also walked with him on the red carpet of the Berlin Film Festival. That year, he won the Silver Bear Award for Best Director at the Berlin Film Festival.

After returning from Berlin, he broke up with Gu Hongwen.

Because Gu Hongwen is getting married.

Gu Hongwen must get married, even if the other party has no feelings for him and has only met him three times, they are well matched, and once married, it will be beneficial to both families.

The whole world knows that Gu Hongwen is getting married, but Gu Hongwen only keeps it from Xia Yingzhi.Maybe he didn't hide it from him, but Xia Yingzhi is sometimes too crazy, when he is obsessed with movies, he doesn't care about world affairs, and when he is crazy about Gu Hongwen, he also believes that Qianfan will always come back to him.

But on the night when he won the Silver Bear Award, he heard Gu Hongwen secretly hide and make a phone call.The other party is his fiancée, who recently had an ambiguous quarrel with a rock singer, Gu Hongwen told her to restrain herself, for the sake of the face of the two families, at least pretend to be an innocent lady before getting married.

Winning the Berlin Silver Bear at the age of 23 is a great honor for others, but for Xia Yingzhi, it was just the darkest night in his life...

……one.

They separated for four years, and when they parted, they agreed to forget each other in the rivers and lakes.Xia Yingzhi devotes all his energy to movies, and produces almost one movie a year, all of which are of excellent quality and have received rave reviews. At the age of 27, he was nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. Although he was just accompanying him, he met Gu Hongwen again outside the Kodak Theater in Hollywood.

Under the stars and lights of Los Angeles, he and Gu Hongwen walked and talked all night.When the sun rose the next day, Gu Hongwen asked him, I am getting divorced, can you come back to me?

In an instant, everything in the past was no longer important, Xia Yingzhi only wanted to go to Gu Hongwen's side.

This time, he believed that he would be able to get happiness, so he allowed himself to become pregnant.

On the day the pregnancy was confirmed, he took a taxi to find Gu Hongwen.Xia Yingzhi is not very sensitive to money, and most of the money he earns is used for living expenses, and most of it is invested back into the movie.Others laughed at him as a big-name director, but he didn't even have a car. He didn't think it was disobedient, and joked, "Taxi is also very convenient."

Gu Hongwen had not entered politics at that time, but started a company with the strength of his family.Xia Yingzhi often went to his company, and arrived at the president's office with ease.The door was ajar, and he wanted to push it in, but he heard a woman's voice from inside.

"I'm the proprietress of this company, what's wrong with paying some money from the account?"

The tone is reasonable and unceremonious.

Gu Hongwen didn't get angry, but took her as if she had no choice: "The company's money needs to be withdrawn, how can it just be withdrawn? If you lack money, just tell me, don't embarrass the accountant next time."

The woman Jiao Didi laughed: "Isn't that what you want? I'm going to Europe next month, so remember to give it to me in advance."

"Going with your new love?" Gu Hongwen said with a headache, "Keep a low profile so that Dad won't ask again."

The woman neither agreed nor objected, she greeted her and was about to leave.The sound of high heels moved from far to near, and when the door opened, Xia Yingzhi was still standing at the door in embarrassment.

"Director Xia?" Gu Hongwen's wife smiled, "Are you looking for Hongwen? We just finished talking, so go in."

Xia Yingzhi stood there dumbfounded, without moving.

Seeing his embarrassment, the beautiful woman smiled and said, "I've heard about you and Hongwen, so you don't have to be embarrassed. I'm too busy, and I'm not a person who can take care of others. If it weren't for having you by Hongwen's side , I'm really not worried."

She turned her head and smiled at Gu Hongwen, and said softly, "I'm leaving. Don't forget what you promised me."

Xia Yingzhi watched the woman leave, at that moment he understood that Gu Hongwen never planned to divorce.

He has been lying to himself.

but……

"Hongwen, I'm pregnant."

He begged Gu Hongwen for a divorce and stayed with him openly, but Gu Hongwen disagreed with everything.The marriage of the two families is going well, and both of them have gained countless benefits from this marriage, so how could they break off the engagement because of a little Xia Yingzhi?

Xia Yingzhi had talked with Gu Hongwen, quarreled, had a cold war, and at the most intense moment, he dropped the Ming Dynasty vase that Gu Hongwen took back from Christie's, and Gu Hongwen slapped him.

The next day, Xia Yingzhi used all his wealth to pay for the vase, and formally broke up with Gu Hongwen.

Naturally, Gu Hongwen couldn't let him go so easily.He tried his best to coax Xia Yingzhi to change his mind, but Xia Yingzhi's attitude was firm, no matter whether he came to the door in person or sent a lobbyist, he would ignore him.If it's not soft, it's hard.Gu Hongwen used his connections to directly label Xia Yingzhi as a "prohibited".

As long as Xia Yingzhi returns to him, film shoots and awards are taken, he will still be the most watched young director.

But Xia Yingzhi resolutely rejected all of this.

In the end, the ongoing project was stopped, and the General Administration named and criticized him, and issued a notice that he was not allowed to engage in film shooting within five years.

Gu Hongwen's original intention was that if Xia Yingzhi did not give in, he would never be able to touch movies for the rest of his life.Probably some people at the top couldn't see it, and they just told Xia Yingzhi not to participate in the filming for five years.After the result of the punishment came out, Gu Hongwen was furious, and wanted to use other methods to punish Xia Yingzhi, and was sued to Gu's father. Gu's father was afraid that things would get too serious, so he sent his son far away abroad.

In China, Xia Yingzhi lost everything and gave birth to Xia Chu the next year.

"My father and I have not had a very good life. Later, the leaders of the Film Academy took pity on us and hired my father to teach at the school. Our life improved a little bit." Touching his father's gentle smiling face in the old photo, Xia Chu said, "I'm a little When I was sensible, my father told me that our physique is different from ordinary people, and I was born in October of his pregnancy. His intention may be that he didn’t want to lie to me, and he didn’t want me to be older. What happened when I was restless in adolescence Woe to me, but after I heard it, I just want to know who my other father is."

In the autumn when he was ten years old, Xia Chu learned the news of Gu Hongwen's return to China from the chats of his uncle and aunt.He guessed that this person should be his other father, because his father took many photos with this person and never mentioned this person.That afternoon he skipped class and used his pocket money to take the bus for an hour to Gu Hongwen's new club.Good luck, Gu Hongwen is here.He pulled Xia Chu into his office, looked at Xia Chu's eyes completely inherited from his own, and asked him, "Are you Yingzhi's son?"

"At that time, Gu Hongwen had divorced his wife abroad, and he was the first to go to my father after returning to China. But we were in such a difficult situation back then, and my father refused to be with him anymore. How can we look back now? A breakup is a breakup , there is absolutely no possibility of getting back together." Xia Chu smiled wryly, "However, I didn't know this at the time."

Xia Chu asked Gu Hongwen if he was his father.Gu Hongwen didn't answer, but told him to sit down, and gave him candy bought abroad.Xia Chu didn't like sweets, so he took a bite of those candies, and thought they were too nasty, so he secretly vomited them up.Gu Hongwen asked him if Xia Yingzhi asked him to come here. He was very honest and said no, he came here secretly, and he dared not let his father know.

He asked Gu Hongwen again: "Are you my other father?"

Gu Hongwen said: "You can call me Dad."

Xia Chu is a precocious child, but he is only ten years old, and sometimes he really can't understand the traps and subtext in adult words.

He called Gu Hongwen: "Father."

He yelled for half the afternoon, until evening when Xia Yingzhi came to find him.

When Xia Yingzhi came in, Xia Chu was snuggling up beside Gu Hongwen, reading the English books that Gu Hongwen had brought back from abroad.Xia Yingzhi came, he was very happy, and said to Xia Yingzhi with a smile: "Dad, look, my dad... I mean, Gu Dad said that he would give this book to me."

Xia Yingzhi pulled Xia Chu and slapped him hard.

"What father Gu?" Xia Yingzhi's expression had never been so angry and ferocious, "You only have one father."

In memory, Xia Chu was beaten for the first time.

He covered his swollen face, tears flowed out immediately: "But he admits that he is my father!"

"I said, you only have one father, and that is me!" Xia Yingzhi said angrily, "No one is qualified to be your father except me!"

"Yeah, I didn't admit that I was your father." Gu Hongwen spoke to Xia Chu, but looked at Xia Yingzhi, "I just said you can call, who knows that you are addicted to calling yourself."

He walked over and looked at his former lover with contempt and humiliation: "You father and son are really low in the same line. One cries and calls for his father, and the other is chaste and fierce every day. No matter what you say, you are not allowed to cum in it. Just a little coaxing." After coaxing, I immediately opened my legs obediently, twisted my waist to meet her."

"If your father wasn't so cheap, where did you come from?"

Gu Hongwen pinched Xia Yingzhi's chin, deformed his cheeks, and then flung them away like something dirty.

"It's disgusting to talk to freaks like you." Gu Hongwen pointed at the door, "Get lost."

"I always thought that my father didn't love me at all. To him, I was just a burden, an accident that should never have existed." Xia Chu closed his eyes, after many years, recalling this past, he can still Feeling the piercing pain, "When I went back that night, my father told me with red eyes that if I hadn't been there, he would have died a long time ago, and now he is free."

"Do you have a bad relationship with Director Xia?" Le Wei asked.

Xia Chu thought for a while and smiled wryly: "There are good times and bad times. My grandfather passed away not long after my father arrived in Beijing. He has no relatives, and we are the only relatives left in the world. It stands to reason that we should depend on each other. The relationship has never been close."

"Father still loves me. He cares about my food, clothing, housing, and transportation. During the most difficult days, he could go without food for two days, but he tried his best to feed me. In fact, he is very busy. In addition to attending classes, he also has other jobs , but as long as I need it, he will definitely turn down work and take care of my business first." Xia Chu said, "But he...he always has a sense of distance from me."

"My eyes are too similar to Gu Hongwen, my father said, and my temper and character are also like him. I was wronged before, and I didn't want to imagine that person. It's not my fault. Now that I think about it, it's not my father either. It's my fault. Even if he loves me again, he won't be able to get close to a son who looks like an old lover. "

After ten years away from the film industry, Xia Yingzhi originally had an opportunity to direct again, but he lost even this opportunity due to his renewed quarrel with Gu Hongwen.

From then on, until his death, Xia Yingzhi never made any movies.

"When I was 17, I decided to take the film school entrance exam. It was also in that year that my father told me that he was in love again." Xia Chu said, "The two met at a dinner party. The man was an artist, a few years younger than my father. He is not good at talking, and he is a bit clumsy, but he is very kind to my father, and he does not dislike his physique. Because of him, or because of the long-lost love, my father has become better. I have never seen Dad had so many smiles, he learned to tell jokes at the dinner table and joked about little things."

"At that time, he was full of yearning and hope for life and the future."

"He can even face the past calmly." Xia Chudao, "It was at that time that he started writing the script of "The Last Farewell."

"That's the story of him and Gu Hongwen, and it's also the first half of his life. He said that after writing the script, he still has to work hard to make this movie. When the movie is released, he can make a good comparison with his first half of his life." Farewell. In the process of writing the script, he also met Gu Hongwen by chance. After returning home, he told me that he hated this person so much before, but when he met this time, he suddenly realized that he had let him go."

"I have always been very grateful to the person who gave my father hope. Because of him, my relationship with my father has improved. In that year, we talked about topics that we hadn't talked about in the past ten years, and we knew that I wanted to take the exam for the director department. , my father still tutored me. Even when my father told me that he had that person's child, I didn't think it was a big deal. If he could make my father happy, I would accept him and their child." Xia Chu said, "However, My father forbade me to see him. I'm going to take the college entrance examination, my father said, it's not too late to meet again after the exam."

"The day we met was very hot, and I remember it very clearly. Just after the college entrance examination, a classmate invited me to play, but I rejected it. I just waited to meet that person in the afternoon. But I waited at home for a whole afternoon, and my father didn't come back to pick him up. Me. In the evening, my father came and said that the man died in a car accident."

"A week later, my father also passed away."

"The operation performed by Dr. Yu. There is no problem with the operation, but my father is pregnant at an advanced age, which is very dangerous..." Xia Chu closed his eyes, "Dr. Yu said that it was a hemorrhage, and it is said that there was a lot of blood. I don't know how much blood there is. You know, when I saw my father, Dr. Yu had already cleaned it up for him. He was lying quietly on the hospital bed, his face pale, as if all the blood had been drained from his body."

Le Wei gently grabbed Xia Chu's hand.

Xia Chu was trembling.

"Later..." After a long time, Xia Chu breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Everyone helped me arrange my father's funeral together. Gu Hongwen proposed to adopt me, but I refused. And I was already an adult at that time, and I didn't need a guardian .He would love to pay for my college tuition, but my father has savings, and... I will always remember, I only have one father.”

"This is the whole story of my father." Xia Chu turned to look at Le Wei and smiled, "You have finished filming "The Last Farewell", so you must be familiar with this story."

"The prototype of the supporting actor in this movie is Gu Hongwen, right?" Le Wei asked, "Why did you insist on me playing this role? Do you think I resemble him?"

"The moment you pushed me against the wall, I thought you looked like him, but in fact you didn't. You looked more like my father in some ways." Xia Chu stroked his eyebrows and eyes, "But you put He acted very well, on the set, sometimes when I watched your performance, I suddenly understood why my father fell in love with this man in the first place."

Le Wei stroked the back of his hand and smiled: "Are you praising me?"

Xia Chu also laughed.

"Before my father died, I asked Dr. Yu to bring me his last words." Xia Chu said slowly, "He said, in fact, he has always loved me, but he didn't know how to express it. If there is something in the past that made me feel sad, it must be It wasn't his intention. To him, I was a surprise from heaven, never superfluous."

"In the past, the two of us depended on each other for life. Now that he is leaving, I am the one who worries the most. He wants me to take good care of myself. If I am lucky enough to meet someone who is willing to take care of me, don't lose my temper and cherish it." Xia Xia Chu stroked his lower abdomen, "I used to think that I would never meet this person in my life, and even if I did, I was destined not to be with him. Because of this physique, I don't want to get pregnant, and I don't want to die tragically like my father Originally, I had already made up my mind to live alone all my life..."

Under the light, Xia Chu looked into Le Wei's eyes tenderly.

"Fortunately, I met you."
