Heal the King

Bai Fan stood on the edge of the stage and smacked his chin at Gao Gaonu.

Gao Gao understood, and hurried forward to stop him: "Sorry about this question..."

"We all know." Xu Yiqing said suddenly, with an accent.

Gao Gao stretched out his hand in the air, and looked back at Bai Fan. Bai Fan didn't say anything, and put his hands in his pockets.

Gao Gao knew it, okay, I can't stop it again.I can only touch and retract my hand.

"It's well known... Well, in other words, many people in our country know about my sexuality." Xu Yiqing said directly, "It's not a secret, and I've been very calm when asked about it in many public places."

"Because of your sexuality,...are you accepted for this movie?" Another foreign female reporter asked.

"It's the movie that attracted me, and the role of Qi Zhi." Xu Yiqing pointed to himself, "I am one with him, I feel his feelings, feel his sadness, and experience his life. I think this has nothing to do with sexuality. It doesn't matter, I'm just an actor in front of the character."

"Xu Yiqing, look here." A reporter shouted.

Xu Yiqing put one hand in his pocket, held the microphone in the other, and turned to the other side with a smile.

"I like you very much. I have watched almost all of your movies. You are my favorite Chinese actor!" The reporter came up and confessed in English, and then said, "I studied for you at noon. , Xue Yiqin, Wo Heini!"

Tao Han, who started to look back after hearing this sentence, laughed out loud at the honey-accented Chinese.

"He said that he likes Mr. Xu very much, and he is his favorite Chinese actor... What is that last sentence?" Chen Jue asked next to him, "I don't understand."

"Xu Yiqing, I love you." Tao Han explained.

"Pfft." Chen Jue lowered his head and smiled with his finger on his mouth.

Tao Han was stunned for a few seconds and realized that Chen Jue had been tricked. He squinted and said, "Okay, you will laugh at me if you fail to learn."

"No, isn't this your normal expression of emotion?" Chen Jue said.

"..." Tao Han sighed and stopped talking.

"Thank you." Xu Yiqing also laughed with the others on the stage, and waved to him, "I saw you."

"I have some questions to ask you." The reporter said, "I just finished watching the movie, because I watch a lot of Chinese movies, and I know that most movies express emotions very implicitly."

Xu Yiqing nodded.

"But the emotion in the second half of this drama is actually very intense. You have been crying, crying... and you also said that the final ending is a scene that was added temporarily. In fact, for most foreign It seems that it is not easy for people to understand. They can’t understand why their loved ones are so depressed when they are close to death, shouldn’t this be a happy thing?”

"Do you understand?" Xu Yiqing asked.

"I can." The reporter said, "There is a conflict between Chinese and Western cultures. How do you think it will be resolved?"

Xu Yiqing looked at the director.

The director picked up the microphone and cleared his throat: "Actually, I believe that most people already have the answer to this question. What you see is what you see, and the ending you can understand is the ending. There is no right or wrong, no debate, this is The charm of movies, isn't it?"

"Then do you think Xue Yiqin's performance is Qi Zhi in your heart?" the reporter asked.

Xu Yiqing seemed to be looking forward to this question, and looked at the director in a blink of an eye.

It is also the first time for him to watch the film in its entirety. After watching it, of course he feels that his performance is not enough, but in fact, this time, because he has no scruples or because he loves the characters carefully, he carefully figured out the characters and even empathized with the characters. He thinks this role is the one he is most satisfied with in recent years.

"I'm very satisfied." The director said, "even more than expected. You know, I didn't choose Xu Yiqing. I already had a candidate in my mind, but when I came to the audition, Xu Yiqing had already lost as much weight as the film. I thought at the time that he didn't come to audition, he just wanted the role."

The reporter asked questions one after another until the end.

According to the reaction from the media and the judges, the word-of-mouth of this film has not exploded, but at least the popularity and acting skills are both online, which is already beyond expectations.

"Why did this exceed expectations?" Tao Han never hesitated to ask when he didn't understand.

Chen Jue shook his head. For him, this question was beyond the outline. There were still Bai Fan and Xu Yiqing in the car. Tao Han looked at Xu Yiqing and motioned him to explain with his eyes.

"Because the original expectation was for the show to be released." Xu Yiqing stretched out her fingers and compared, "It can't be shown in China, but if you come to participate in the exhibition abroad, if you win an award, it will attract more domestic audiences and the attention of the industry."

"Is... because of this reason?" Tao Han said, "So the original intention was to find a place to release it."

"This is an opportunity." Xu Yiqing said, "But my performance today is not bad."

"Is it possible?" Bai Fan lowered his head and looked at his phone, "The desire to speak is so strong now that you can't stop it even if you stand tall."

"..." Xu Yiqing lowered his head and smiled, "Is there?"

"I won't be surprised if you suddenly come out on the show in the future." Bai Fan tsk-tsk and said in a strange tone, "Teacher Xu doesn't see me anymore..."

"Do you see me in your eyes?" Xu Yiqing glanced at his screen, "You don't want to send messages to others and watch me talk."

"What are you talking about?" Bai Fan threw his phone and looked at him, "It's fine at night, you can move around freely, don't beg me for any photos you take, it doesn't matter that you are my father."

"It can't be filmed." Xu Yiqing said, "I've made arrangements to watch the play directed by Roger tonight."

"Huh?" Bai Fan raised his eyebrows, "It's ok, all the arrangements are over?"

"Are you coming?" Xu Yiqing asked.

Bai Fan shook his head and yawned: "No, I'm so sleepy, I'm going back to sleep."

"Little Chen Jue, are you coming?" Xu Yiqing asked.

"Little Chen Jue, Miss Gao Gao is looking for you at night." Bai Fan said, "Then you are not free."

"...Hmm." Chen Jue, who had already learned how to read words and expressions, nodded, "I'm not free."

Tao Han coughed, heard the overtones of a car of assistants, and glanced at Xu Yiqing.

Xu Yiqing also happened to look at him.

The two flirted with each other, and everyone else in the car consciously blocked it.

After arriving at the hotel, Xu Yiqing began to remove her make-up and change into her private clothes to prepare for going to the movies at night.

But after all, he is abroad, eyes are everywhere, and Xu Yiqing's private clothes have also changed from a three-piece suit, so he has to dress handsomely to go out on the street.

Changed to casual shirts and retro sunglasses.

Tao Han's private clothes are better than Xu Yiqing's. He wears sportswear for young people, and can also wear casual clothes trendy. He never buys expensive brands, they all suit him.

After removing the makeup, there were only the two of them in the room, and there was still some time before departure. Xu Yiqing used his mobile phone to check what dining and entertainment nearby, while Tao Han sat on the sofa and watched him.

As long as there were only the two of them left in this space, all the emotions that had been suppressed after the movie just now rose again.

He fixedly looked at Xu Yiqing, looked at his side face, his eyelashes drooped long, which was almost the same as Qi Zhi's melancholy temperament in the later period.

Probably they are not happy people, and it is also because of Xu Yiqing's interpretation, every time he sees Qi Zhi in some state, it will always overlap with Xu Yiqing in life.

"What are you looking at?" Xu Yiqing finally raised his head from the phone and sat next to him, "You've been looking at me since just now."

"You and I can't watch it yet." Tao Han said.

After a while, Tao Han approached him, and Xu Yiqing took him into his arms and leaned against the sofa.Tao Han covered Xu Yiqing's hand, held it slowly, and asked softly: "I'm thinking about the ending...it's really uncomfortable. I always thought that Qi Zhi would die, the two of them tortured each other and the ending is set, and there is an ending I feel so bad about what that mother said... so the theme is 'Because I'm guilty, I can never get rid of it'"

"Perhaps." Xu Yiqing lowered his eyes, "Just like the opening paragraph, 'the worst thing is to wait for death', the feeling of waiting for death...but..."

Xu Yiqing looked at him in a blink of an eye, and rubbed Tao Han's nose with the tip of his nose: "Mr. Tao, is he going to tell me how he feels after reading a thousand characters? I'm already in the drama, why are you still in the drama?"

"You acted really well." Tao Han bit his lip, "Is that all right?"

"Really?" Xu Yiqing smiled.

"Really, it's very good. I regret that I didn't admire you earlier." Tao Han said, "But there are so many scenes about you... Are you thinking about the two of us?"

"I haven't been in contact with anyone else. You are the only relationship I have ever had. Is there anyone else I can refer to?" Xu Yiqing asked, "There is also the part about the doll bear, although it was not long, but it was with you This one is also the brightest one in the whole play, I am very happy."

"What are you happy about?" Tao Han asked.

"Happy, you will always be my sunshine." Xu Yiqing said, "In the gloom and depression, you will always be the warmest one."

"It's so disgusting, brother." Tao Han shrank his neck.

"Really." Xu Yiqing turned his head to look at him, "I want to tell you a little composition, but you are so moody..."

"I don't need it." Tao Han put his arms around his neck, "Kiss me, brother."

Xu Yiqing followed his cheek and kissed his lips.

When Tao Han closed his eyes, he had an illusion. He seemed to be able to hear the cicadas chirping outside the window and the old rusty exhaust fan spinning above his head. In the hot afternoon, there was the sound of water dripping in the bathtub. He opened his eyes and saw the Wrists together.

He didn't know who he was, he was kissing Qi Zhi recklessly, everything was crazy and normal, he held Qi Zhi's hand, there was only a mark of a wrist cut on it.

It hurts to jump off a building, doesn't it hurt to cut your wrists?

"Baby." Xu Yiqing let go of him and said in a low voice, pressed the back of his head with his hand and put it on his shoulders, hugged him in his arms and softly comforted him, "It's me."

Tao Han lowered his head and found himself touching Xu Yiqing's wrist unconsciously, as if confirming something, until Xu Yiqing hugged him, his upset feeling gradually dissipated.

"It seems that my acting is really good." Xu Yiqing grabbed his finger and kissed him, sighed, "Thank you for liking."
