Heal the King

The bathroom of the magazine is in the building, and there are other employees in the building. There are quite a lot of people walking in and out. Naturally, Tao Han and Xu Yiqing dare not do anything out of the ordinary.

Originally walking with Xu Yiqing, I felt itchy to see this person who could not be touched or hugged all morning, but when I went to the bathroom, I found that it was not particularly hidden.

Feeling full of unhappiness, I thought about going back at night and hugging my fill.

Tao Han turned his head after draining the water, and saw Xu Yiqing washing his hands in front of the sink. He loved looking at Xu Yiqing's back so much, even if he bent slightly to wash his hands, his spine was straight, and his neck was slender and beautiful when viewed from behind.

Xu Yiqing lowered her eyes, slowly wiped the water off her fingers one by one with a piece of paper, combed her forehead hair back, her cuffs were attached to her wrists but there was no water at all, there was such an itchy sense of abstinence.

He raised his eyes and glanced at Tao Han in the mirror.

Tao Han looked around, waited for the last person to go out, and took the opportunity to hug Xu Yiqing from behind.

"Don't make trouble." Xu Yiqing whispered.

"Brother..." Tao Han didn't care, quickly kissed his earlobe and let go. It took only a few seconds, but Xu Yiqing's ears turned red just like that.

Tao Han thought it was cute, Xu Yiqing had already turned around and was about to leave, but just as he was about to follow, he saw a person coming in from outside.

Seeing the man's face in the mirror, Tao Han was taken aback. Fortunately, the man seemed to be in a hurry to urinate, so he ignored him and walked straight to the cubicle.He was the former editor-in-chief of Yinghe Tianxia.

Xu Yiqing didn't know if he was embarrassed, he had strode out of the door without looking back, and luckily he walked fast so he didn't bump into them.

Tao Han thought that this is the magazine of "Cherry", why is this person here?

But no matter why, Tao Han must never let him see himself!

Fortunately, the mask Gao Gao gave was in his pocket, and Tao Han put it on directly.Quickly returned to the studio, Xu Yiqing had already gone to prepare, while Tao Han hadn't left yet, he seemed to inquire unintentionally: "What else do you want to do this afternoon?"

"Huh?" Gao Gao just ate his fill, poured Coke on his face, wiped his mouth, and said, "Two outfits plus a solo interview and a group interview, I'll forget it if I'm exhausted."

"Group visit?" Tao Han asked.

"Well, because Mr. Bai canceled almost all the invitations to magazines and events, many people could not be invited. In the end, he let go and said that he could have a short visit this time, and he could only ask about movies." Gao Gao said.

Tao Han didn't understand the reason at all, but Chen Jue kept silent on the sidelines, but now he said, "Boss Bai is so amazing... This way, I can check the industry's expectations of the movie by the way."

"You're smart, brother." Gao Gao glanced at him.

"How about now?" Chen Jue asked.

"Ten were opened before, but it was found that it was not enough, so we added five more." Gao Gao said, "Many people are still unable to enter, and they are still obediently waiting for the next quota."

"What do you mean?" Tao Han looked at Chen Jue with confusion, "Does this mean that you are very popular?"

"Of course! The expectations have exploded." Gao Gao said, "Many people think that this summer and autumn, Mr. Xu will definitely be a dark horse."

"I don't agree with the dark horse." Chen Jue said, "I think it can be used... The Return of the King?"

After listening to Gao Gao, he applauded him very seriously.

Tao Han's focus was that there was a group visit in the afternoon.

He couldn't expose his relationship with Xu Yiqing for the time being, but he didn't want Xu Yiqing to be interviewed by this person so that he could catch him.

As a result, Tao Han was a little restless all afternoon.

Tao Han didn't expect that half an hour of filming would be the group interview session. Various media entered the venue first, saying that it was in the same hall, but in fact it was full and crowded with many people.

Gao Gao went in to check the equipment, and by the way, marked the positions of various media outlets for easy identification and seating.Tao Han said he would go with them, and after entering, Gao Gao personally put up labels for them one by one.

"Is it always like this before?" Tao Han asked.

"What?" Gao Gao lowered his head and picked the sticker with his nails, "Oh... did you say that, yes, it's me every time."

"That's right." Tao Han nodded.

"This is what Mr. Xu said. I have been with Mr. Xu for a few years. As long as there is a media group interview, even if someone arranges the scene, Mr. Xu still wants us to label and install equipment for them... So all these years, As long as there are interviews, he seldom fails to remember the process and the appearance of these media. It is not bad to give some public relations gifts at the end of each year." Gao Gao finally peeled off the label and patted the stool with his hands Shangpuping, "In fact, Mr. Xu is really careful... in summer, he gives iced drinks, and in winter, he prepares hot drinks, but almost no one knows that he does this. In the end, something happened to Mr. Xu, and they will only write to death His is not."

Tao Han paused, his eyes fell on the stack of stickers that hadn't been pasted yet.

"He is kind, he has always been like this." Tao Han slowly rummaged through the stickers, and took out the sticker of Ying and Tianxia, ​​"As long as he really has the intention to win over these people, he will not As for what it is like today. What is this, to say he is kind is still stupid."

After Gao Gao finished posting, he handed some microphones for receiving sound to Tao Han: "Check these, if there is a problem with receiving sound later, it will be troublesome."

"What's the trouble?" Tao Han asked.

"Then the sound can't be closed." Gao Gao said, "The scene is so big, it can't be heard and it can't be recorded, and the follow-up arrangement is also troublesome."

Tao Han looked at the microphone thoughtfully for a while, and touched the wire under the microphone with his hand. He squinted his eyes and struggled for a while, then he heard Gao shouting to him: "Is it alright?"

"It's almost there." Tao Han put down the microphone, "Let's go."

He walked out the door and heard Gao Gao still rambling on something, but Tao Han didn't listen to a word, he sighed secretly, and suppressed the entangled mood just now.

Xu Yiqing is very concerned about every interview, he does these things silently, if there is one person who cannot be completed and interviewed, it is not others but Xu Yiqing who is unhappy in the end.

Tao Han just had a flash of inspiration, and didn't really want to do anything with the microphone.

"It's almost time." Gao Gao glanced at the phone, "I'll call Teacher Xu and the others. You and Xiao Chen can just hang out nearby, or go to watch."

"Don't you need help?" Tao Han asked.

"No need, I can handle it." Gao Gao waved his hand, "See you later."

"See you later." Tao Han said, "call Chen Jue for me."

In the afternoon, the media group interview officially started.

Although the hall was small, it was crowded with people, and the focus was Xu Yiqing on the stage, while Tao Han and Chen Jue huddled in the corner, no one would notice them at all.

After the incoming media took their seats, Gao Gao, as a manager, emphasized that this group interview can only answer questions related to movies and magazines, and will not answer or respond to other questions.

Xu Yiqing sat on the chair in the middle with her make-up from a previous magazine shoot.

After the group interview started, questions from various media started in an orderly manner.

"Hello Xu Yiqing!" A man started first, "We know that the film "Can't Be Saved" is currently in the intense post-production period, and the director's tone is also very tight. I don't know what you will reveal to us. Woolen cloth?"

Xu Yiqing was holding the media microphone in his hands, and because his forehead hair was raised, his micro-expressions that are good at expressing emotions on the eyebrows were magnified more clearly.

"The film "Can't Be Saved" should participate in the Italian Film Festival in the early summer of June." Xu Yiqing said.

"What is the specific story, can you give me a spoiler in advance?" someone asked.

Xu Yiqing paused, and said with a smile: "Not for now, actually, you already know a lot, don't you?"

"We know it's about a movie with taboo subjects, how did you come up with the idea to make this?"

Tao Han raised his eyes when he heard this, and when Gao Gao heard this question, he subconsciously blocked it from the other side: "Xu Yiqing won't answer this question..."

"Because the subject matter is great." Xu Yiqing has already said, "How many actors can't get in touch with this subject matter for the rest of their lives, either because of themselves, or because of the company, or because they are afraid of affecting their future career. I missed a good book because of the factors. I was lucky enough to meet, and I was even more fortunate to play the role. First, I would like to thank the company and the enlightened agent and boss. He allowed me to boldly touch areas that many people dare not touch. ..."

Xu Yiqing stretched out both hands: "Since everyone knows that I have reached the bottom, I don't have any worries. Naturally, I can play this role without distraction. He won't have a worse influence on me, everyone. I will only focus all my attention on the film and my performance, which is the result I want to see the most."

As soon as this passage came out, there was a small commotion downstairs, and the hand that was held high in the air was slowly lowered, and he calmly said to the media below: "Okay, next question."

"How does Xu Tianwang feel about the partner he is cooperating with this time?"

Xu Yiqing nodded: "A very good young actor, young, brave, and full of tension. I think everyone can look forward to it. He is really great."

"It is said that there will be a concert in the second half of the year. How is Xu Tianwang preparing?"

"Don't dare to take it." Xu Yiqing's eyes were burning, "It's still the same sentence, just look forward to it."

Tao Han glanced at the situation over there, and glanced at his watch by the way, thinking that the time was almost up, he tugged on Chen Jue's arm: "I'm going to the bathroom."

"Don't you want to watch it?" Chen Jue asked.

"No, it's just... my stomach hurts." Tao Han stroked his stomach, "I'll be back later."

"Oh." Chen Jue nodded.

"If you send me a WeChat message when it's about one third of the end." Tao Han said, "I don't want to miss too much."

"Understood." Chen Jue said.

"I must remember." Tao Han shook the phone.

Tao Han strode out the door, walked into the corner while no one was paying attention, he looked around to see if there was no one around, and then picked up the phone and dialed.

Editor-in-Chief Wang’s phone number, Tao Han, had been specially reserved before. The editor-in-chief pressed the first call, and Tao Han called the second phone number.

Tao Han glanced at the phone, a little speechless, and then silently found Ying Shimei's phone number.

Five minutes later, Editor-in-Chief Wang called him back respectfully: "Mr. Tao? I'm sorry, I have something urgent just now. I didn't know that you pressed it without even looking at it."

"Oh...what's the rush?" Tao Han asked in surprise, "how about I...call back later?"

"No, no, no rush, no rush." ​​Editor-in-Chief Wang said, "It's not an urgent matter, really...so is there anything going on with Mr. Tao? Is it the matter of cutting before, the people from Gangying Shimei headquarters Call me and tell me what you want from me."

Tao Han cleared his throat: "Actually, it's not an urgent matter, ah, don't be so worried about the result... I did some investigations on other subsidiary studios afterwards."

"Hmm!" Editor-in-Chief Wang replied very sincerely, "How?"

"Entertainment companies are too complicated, and they are different from most of the companies I have come into contact with. Some artists contract here, then sign with another company, and are used by another company for marketing. It is a bit difficult to deal with so many contracts coming and going. ..."

Editor-in-Chief Wang didn't dare to say anything else, and after listening patiently, he asked: "Oh, it's quite difficult. Some artists we have contacted are indeed like this, but what does it have to do with us..."

"I found that there are some entertainment venues under their banner. What are they for?"

"Oh, it's just investing in the industry. Besides, I own the copyright of my entertainment company, so it's much more convenient to deal with copyright issues such as KTV in entertainment venues... It's not Mr. Tao, it has nothing to do with me... "

"Is Editor-in-Chief Wang busy?" Tao Han said gently.

"..." Editor-in-Chief Wang swallowed, "Not really."

"Then I will continue..."

Tao Han narrated halfway through the communication with his unfocused but focused sentences, and Chen Jue sent a WeChat message to ask him how he was doing.He called back and said, "Editor Wang is so busy, I really don't want to bother, I'll treat you to dinner another day."

"Ah...?" Editor-in-Chief Wang apparently didn't expect to hang up the call halfway through.

"Let's not chat anymore, bye." Tao Han hung up the phone resolutely.

After a while, he pretended to come out of the bathroom with his mask on, and saw that Editor-in-Chief Wang had been stopped outside the door, and he had already missed the group interview time.

Tao Han patted his chest, thinking that this matter was finally over.It's not good for him to enter the room again, so he just told Chen Jue that he wanted to sit in the dressing room and wait for them.

Chen Jue:

——Aren’t you coming?Teacher Xu is super handsome, I can't wait to watch the movie.

Tao Han:

——You don’t believe me if you say you’re a nympho.

Tao Han sighed, opened the door and entered the dressing room.The dressing room was empty, and the previous makeup artists didn't know where to go.

It happened that no one was cleaning, so Tao Han sat down directly, rubbed his hands, and saw a row of uncollected cosmetics spread out on a table in front of him.

He then picked up a lipstick, a pink transparent jelly-like liquid, very girly.Tao Han remembered that when she was doing makeup just now, the makeup artist took a small brush, squeezed out the liquid and wiped it on Xu Yiqing's mouth.

"..." Such a young girl?

Just can't bear to look at it.

He carefully recalled Xu Yiqing's appearance, but he didn't seem to be too hard to bear to look at.

Although Tao Han is crooked, he has never had the stereotype of gay in most people's minds. Tao Han always felt that if he hadn't met Xu Yiqing in his life, he might live like most straight men, even Straighter than straight.For example, incomprehensible style, such as aesthetic disaster.

Another example is lipstick. When I saw this extremely pink one, I imagined that Xu Yiqing put it on like a death Barbie powder.

He opened the lid and tried it on the back of his hand, hey, there was no color...

It's no wonder, Xu Yiqing's lip color looks light, and it really feels so charming and charming that she really wants to kiss her...

Tao Han started to drive the sports car at 180 miles in his mind, so he didn't even see anyone entering the door.When Gao Gao opened the door and came in, he saw this weird scene. Tao Han was holding up the back of his hand to look at it. There were light-colored lipstick marks on it, and his face was full of spring breeze with a smile.

Xu Yiqing came in with his head down and bumped into Gao Gao's back.

"What's wrong?" Xu Yiqing raised his head as he spoke.

Gao Gao hurriedly said: "Teacher Tao, you continue, you continue..."

Tao Han: "???"

People came in one after another from behind, Tao Han hurriedly unscrewed the lid and stood up to make way for him. When he saw Chen Jue coming in, he stopped there: "The interview is over?"

"It's over." Chen Jue said.

Tao Han looked at his watch: "There is another set of styles, a solo interview, no matter how you say it, it will be eight or nine in the evening."

"Yes, teacher, are you tired?" Chen Jue said.

"It's okay." Tao Han took a sip of water, and looked at Xu Yiqing who was pinned on the chair to put on makeup before he could say anything, "...but you, how do you feel today?"

Chen Jue lowered his eyes and said listlessly, "It's been hard work."

"It's right to work hard." Tao Han patted him on the shoulder, "Young man, there is no such thing as hard work."

"..." Chen Jue nodded helplessly, "Here we go again, Mr. Tao really looks more and more like my father..."

"You're getting more and more pissed at me." Tao Han glared at him.

Tao Han got bored after sitting there, saw Chen Jue sending a message, and took a casual glance, the interface and avatar were so familiar, so he whispered: "Yu Zilian?"

"Teacher, why are you peeking?" Chen Jue said dissatisfied.

"I didn't see anything, okay?" Tao Han turned back and moved away from him, but said, "What are you talking about? It's been almost two months since he left, is he doing well?"

"Well...he knew that I was interested in acting agents, so he followed you to the shooting site today, and wanted to ask me about my situation."

Tao Han nodded: "The relationship is good."

"Teacher..." Chen Jue muttered in a low voice, "Stop making fun of me, you know it's impossible."

"How is it impossible?" Tao Han gave him a thumbs up, "Your teacher, I will teach you today, everything is possible."

"Forget it." Chen Jue stood up, "Ms. Xu seems to have finished melting, let's go and have a look."

"Okay." Tao Han said.

……

It was past nine o'clock in the evening when work was over.

Both Tao Han and Chen Jue were too tired to move, they just wanted to go home to wash and sleep, and when Tao Han wanted to take care of Xu Yiqing, he heard a master talking to him with an ipad: "Resume training tomorrow, Mr. Bai I asked you to come to Xingge to report at nine o'clock, there will be sound, physical fitness and dance training, and then Teacher Chen just came from Taiwan, and I will invite you to teach me about dance... It's gone!"

Gao Gao put the ipad upside down on his chest, and exhaled: "It's gone... Ah... That's right! The magazine asked if we want to have a late-night snack? Is Teacher Tao together?"

"Snack..." Although Tao Han didn't eat dinner, he didn't even have the strength to speak, let alone feel hungry, "I won't go, I'm too tired...how come you are still in such good spirits... "

"I'm not going either." Although Xu Yiqing looked tired, he was still in good spirits. After putting on his coat, he pointed at Chen Jue, "Send the kid back."

"Okay." Gao Gao said.

"No no no." Chen Jue was taken aback, "I can go by myself."

"It's okay." Gao Gao said, "I just wanted to chat with you."

Xu Yiqing went out and greeted those who hadn't gotten off work one by one.Editor-in-Chief Cao of the magazine sent him to the door, looked at him and said, "Thank you for your hard work, why don't you go eat something together?"

"No, you still have to work overtime." Xu Yiqing said.

"Thank you Mr. Bai for me, thank him for giving us this face. I know that many magazines wanted to interview you and were pushed away, and now you only accept us."

"It's not about face." Xu Yiqing laughed, "I really think it's right to choose you, Editor-in-Chief Cao."

Editor-in-Chief Cao shook his head and patted him on the shoulder: "We have been friends for so many years, no matter what, I still thank you. We will also do feature films in the future, and we will go to Italy to follow the whole process. We must let you be featured on all platforms in the June issue." shine."

"Thank you, it's summer after all." Xu Yiqing held the hand he patted on the shoulder, "See you then."

"See you then." Director Cao still smiled.

Back home, Xu Yiqing stood in the living room and answered a few more calls.Tao Han had already finished washing, lying on the bed and not wanting to move.

He didn't feel that he had done anything today, but he was tired, and his muscles were sore after exercising. Although he didn't have it at the moment, he could clearly feel that it was an indescribable discomfort after a day of non-stop work.

Therefore, Xu Yiqing must often face such non-stop... Every time he thinks about the other party's accustomed smile, his heart aches again.

Tao Han was sitting by the bed wiping his hair when he heard the bedroom door open.When Xu Yiqing opened the door, he had already taken a shower, his hair was dried and drooped, he was wearing cotton pajamas, and he was so soft that he was completely different from Xu Tianwang who had been glamorous all day long.

Tao Han glanced at him and hooked his hands.

Xu Yiqing walked in front of him, bowed her head and pinched his chin, gently rubbing her fingertips: "Are you tired?"

"There's... a little bit." Tao Han raised his head and squinted his eyes, shaking his head slightly like a cat to cooperate with his rubbing.

He suddenly felt ice on his lips, opened his eyes suddenly, and saw Xu Yiqing holding his chin and smearing something on his lips.

"I saw that you were very interested in it this afternoon, so I asked the makeup artist for it." Xu Yiqing looked down at him, "No wonder you are so serious about it, it looks so good on your lips."

"I'm not interested. I was wondering if it would look good on your lips." After Tao Han finished speaking, he felt a little excited all over his body for some reason.

"Then..." Xu Yiqing leaned over to kiss him, and led him to lie on his back. He leaned over to support the mattress beside Tao Han, "Give it to me."
