President, I didn't want to flirt with you [Entertainment]

In the end, Zhang Yang did not express any opinion on whether Qu Xi should participate in the film festival.

Qu Xi was so conflicted. On the one hand, he was reluctant to part with Zhang Yang. On the other hand, he was looking forward to taking this opportunity to go abroad.

A few days later, Zhang Yang went through the discharge procedures and returned to City B with Qu Xi.

Zhang Yang's shoulder recovered very well at the initial stage. In order to prevent the muscles of his left arm from shrinking, he entered the rehabilitation stage after the wound healed initially.However, because of the long healing time of bones, his initial rehabilitation can only be performed with low-intensity training for muscles.

The characteristic of this kind of recovery training is that it will not affect the continuous healing of bones and will not cause secondary injuries, but because the intensity is too low, it will take a long time.Fortunately, Qu Xi would train with Zhang Yang every day, so even though the time was long, she would not feel bored.

"Why is your arm so much stronger than mine? It feels like I can't compare to you when you're injured." When changing clothes after training, Qu Xi stretched out his hand to touch Zhang Yang's arm and sighed.

Zhang Yang said with a smile on his face: "Why do you want to be so strong? You don't need to carry big bags."

"Man, who doesn't want to be stronger!" Qu Xi squeezed his arm and sighed.

Zhang Yang sat on the bench watching him, and stretched out his hand: "Come here, let me pinch and have a look."

As Qu Xi walked over, Zhang Yang hugged his waist and said, "You can practice properly, and when you walk on the red carpet, you will look good in your clothes."

"Which red carpet?" Qu Xi asked.

"There will be a red carpet at the opening of the film festival, and all the shortlisted crews will be able to go." Zhang Yang said.

A complex emotion flashed across Qu Xi's face when he heard the words, then he walked up to Zhang Yang and sat down, and said, "I didn't say I was going, but I stayed there for so long, what should I do if I miss you? Rehabilitation, such a long time every day, if I don't accompany you, you are too pitiful."

"But, I really want to see you walk the red carpet." Zhang Yang said, "It's a rare opportunity to be shortlisted for a category A international film festival. I don't know when it will be the next time. If you miss it this time because of me , I will feel guilty for many years."

Of course, Qu Xi had a little yearning in his heart, but when he thought of being separated from Zhang Yang, his desire to go was instantly extinguished.He doesn't care about film festivals or not, he only cares about Zhang Yang.

This question was put on hold until she went home, and Qu Xi did not express her opinion.

Of course Zhang Yang knew what the boy was contradicting, so he didn't keep persuading him.

Zhang Yang made an appointment in the morning for the resumption of training the next day.

After noon, he took Qu Xi to a fashion design studio.

After arriving there, the people from the studio first took the two of them to visit the showcase, where suits of various ages and styles were displayed.Qu Xi didn't quite understand these things, but she could feel that every piece of clothing in the showcase should have a special meaning and value.

"Mr. Zhang should be familiar with this set of clothes. He is the only person who has lent out this set of clothes in the past five years." The staff member said to Qu Xi.Qu Xi looked at Zhang Yang in bewilderment, not quite understanding what Zhang Yang was doing with the clothes here.

Zhang Yangdao: "When I was studying abroad, I minored in acting, do you remember? At the graduation performance, I wore this set of clothes." Qu Xi knew about this, and both Lu Xun and Lin Muyan mentioned it to him. Pass.

"Does this suit have any special meaning?" Qu Xi asked.

"In the play I acted in, the male protagonist in the first version wore this suit." Zhang Yang said: "Because I really like that play and have watched it countless times, so I dreamed of wearing this suit a long time ago." Put on clothes and perform on stage once."

The clothes in these showcases, without exception, have similar origins. They are representative products of various ages designed by this old studio since its establishment, and some of them were put on display here on their own initiative by the owner of the clothes.

"I brought you here today to help you customize a set here." Zhang Yang said.

"You still want me to go to the film festival, right?" Qu Xi asked.

Zhang Yang pulled the boy to the side and sat down, looked at the clothes in the window and said, "I know, you don't want to go, but I hope you can participate for me. You know, I have studied acting before, so... …I also had a dream of becoming an actor. You may not know that the red carpet of the Class A International Film Festival is a place where many people who study acting dream of walking once, and I am no exception."

Qu Xi looked at Zhang Yang steadfastly, as if judging how much of what he said was true or false.At this moment, Zhang Yang's eyes were shining brightly, and there was a slightly embarrassed smile on his face, which was really an expression that Qu Xi hadn't seen very often.

"You actually know that it's not that I don't want to go, but I can't bear you." Qu Xi said.

"You can talk to me on the phone every day." Zhang Yang said: "Half a month, in fact, it's not very long. When you start filming again in the future, it will take a long time every time you join the group. I can't follow you every time." .”

Sooner or later, we have to get used to the brief separation.

Even though she knew what Zhang Yang said was true, Qu Xi still felt very disappointed.

So far, Qu Xi's participation in the film festival has been settled.Zhang Yang helped Qu Xi customize several formal suits in this studio, because participating in the film festival not only includes the opening red carpet, but also awards ceremony and various classified activities.

Quxi has a good temperament, and her figure is just right for a young man who is thin and skinny, so there are quite a lot of styles that can hold her up.According to the temperament and feeling of Qu Xi's character in the movie "Ding Feng Bo", the designer helped Qu Xi preliminarily order three sets of more formal clothes, and then included two sets of casual clothes that can be worn normally. You can wear it when watching movies at film festivals.

As the opening date of the film festival got closer, Qu Xi's preparations for going abroad gradually became trivial.

Fortunately, Zhang Yang took Qu Xi to apply for a passport in advance, which saved a lot of time, and their visas were signed smoothly because they had a certificate from the film festival organizing committee.

"The climate in the UK is different from that in China. It will be colder this season than in China, so you have to bring a few thicker clothes." Zhang Yang took a pen and paper to help Quxi sort out the luggage list, while Quxi looked at a loss Listening by the side.

"Let me ask Fangyuan to bring some cold medicine. If you are not used to the temperature and catch a cold, it will be troublesome." Zhang Yang wrote while saying, "Yes, and some medicine for acclimatization. You have never been abroad. I don’t know if my body can adapt.”

Qu Xi walked over and lay on Zhang Yang's back, and said, "I want to take you with me."

Zhang Yang was startled when he heard the words, reached out his hand to cover the young man's hand on his waist, and said, "Then put me in the suitcase."

Qu Xi didn't make a sound, but put more force on Zhang Yang's arms.

Zhang Yang was naturally reluctant, but he couldn't be so sticky to Qu Xi, so he could only express it in other ways.

Therefore, in the few days before Quxi went abroad, Zhang Yang stayed at home with the boy almost all the time except to participate in recovery training.Qu Xi had always thought that Zhang Yang's shoulder hadn't recovered, so it must be inconvenient, but it turned out that his thinking was too simple.

Zhang Yang's shoulder is inconvenient, but other places are convenient.

So he can find new postures almost every day, and in just a few days, he and Qu Xi unlocked more than a dozen new ways to play.

On the morning before Quxi left, the two had sex on the sofa.

Afterwards, Quxi nestled on the sofa, not feeling well.

"Did it hurt you just now?" Zhang Yang asked, "You say yes and no, and I don't know whether you want it or not, so I can only follow my feeling..."

"Stop talking!" Qu Xi lay on Zhang Yang's heart, and opened his mouth to bite gently.

Zhang Yang suffered so much that he didn't dare to tease Qu Xi anymore, and finally got a little more serious, and said, "If you do this again, I won't be willing to let you go."

"Don't see me off at night, if you do, I'll be even more reluctant to leave." Qu Xi said.

"Okay." Zhang Yang said, "Otherwise, I'll put a toy in your suitcase, and when you get there..."

"Zhang Yang!" Qu Xi looked up at him, with a bit of annoyance on his face, looking really anxious.

"Okay, okay, I'm not joking." Zhang Yang said hurriedly: "Get up and take a shower, I'll cook for you, there is no such pure Chinese food over there."

Hearing this, Qu Xi reluctantly went to take a bath, then sat at the dining table wearing a bathrobe, and looked at Zhang Yang.Zhang Yang cooked this meal seriously, with four dishes and one soup, Quxi's favorite food.The two of them were eating, when Fang Yuan came, and he wanted to help Qu Xi pack her luggage in advance.Most of the luggage Quxi has been put away, there are only some details that need to be paid attention to, Zhang Yang personally instructed Fangyuan.

They are flying in the early morning, flying to Manchester first, and the flight will take about [-] to [-] hours.After arriving in Manchester, it happened to be the morning of local time, and they drove to Sheffield again.

Qu Xi has never been on a plane for so long, and it is the first time to go abroad, so she is extremely nervous.

Excessive tension temporarily dilutes his reluctance and loss.

When he went to the airport, Zhang Yang really didn't see him off.

In front of Fang Yuan and the driver, the two of them couldn't be too affectionate, they just waved their hands to say goodbye.

Until the plane took off, Qu Xi was still in a daze, feeling that all this was not real.

In a dozen hours, he will appear in another country, but Zhang Yang is not by his side.

That night, after Quxi left, Zhang Yang hardly fell asleep.It was not until it was almost dawn in the early morning that he barely squinted for a while.It's not that I miss each other so much when we just separated, but it's the first time that the other party travels abroad, and he's not by his side, so there's always a bit of worry.

Whenever this happened, Zhang Yang felt like an old father who was worried about his stupid son not being able to take care of him well.

Obviously he is not much older than Qu Xi, this kind of cognition makes Zhang Yang feel a little speechless.

When I went to the training center that afternoon, the recovery test report that Zhang Yang had done before came out.He did this test secretly without telling Qu Xi, because he didn't know what the result would be, so he was afraid that telling Qu Xi would have unrealistic expectations.

"You are recovering well, whether it is bone healing or muscle recovery training, the effect is better than expected." The doctor at the training center took Zhang Yang's report: "My suggestion is that in the next month, you should It is best to continue to resume training, but the training content can be temporarily fixed."

"In other words, I don't have to come here every day, right?" Zhang Yang asked.

"This week's training should be completed as much as possible. From next week, if you have alternative training content at home, you can choose to train at home, but it is best to come twice a week, so that if there is a problem Correct." The doctor said.

It is best to come twice, which means that it is okay to say no.

Or, it’s okay to come in less than once a week.

After Zhang Yang came out of the training center, Qu Xi and the others just landed.While waiting for the luggage, Qu Xi sent several messages to Zhang Yang, and even took a selfie.

After a fifteen-hour long-distance flight, Qu Xi's complexion is not very good, but fortunately, there are no signs of acclimatization.Zhang Yang stared at the boy's selfie several times, then took a picture of himself and sent it.

"Hey, Zhang Yang's photography skills are also straight men's level!" Lin Muyan next to Qu Xi took a look, and then commented seriously.

Qu Xi took a photo of Lin Muyan with his mobile phone and sent it to Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang replied after a while: [Spicy eyes! 】

"Don't blame me for not waking you up!" Lin Muyan pressed the voice input button of Quxi's WeChat, and said, "Now you are the emperor of Shangao, and the little friend Quxi has fallen into my hands. If you are so rude , be careful that I reveal/expose the essence of a bad person."

A moment after Lin Muyan's voice was sent, Zhang Yang replied with an emoji of "Compare Heart".

Seeing this, Lin Muyan was very proud, and felt that he had finally raised his eyebrows in front of Zhang Yang.

However, after a while, Lin Muyan received two messages on his mobile phone.After reading it, Lin Muyan was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Quxi secretly, deliberately avoided taking a few steps, and pressed the call button in a low voice: "Your operation is really coquettish, is it too late for me to admit my mistake?"

Over there Zhang Yang didn't know what to say, Lin Muyan curled his lips in disgust, and replied: "End of friends!"

Over there, Zhang Yang replied for some reason, and Lin Mu was so angry that he almost smashed his phone.

A group of them traveled from Manchester to Sheffield, arriving just in time for lunch.During the one-hour drive, Quxi was full of excitement, because the scenery outside the car window was very different from that in China.However, after arriving at the destination, he felt the difference between the completely different countries.

Strange temperature and air humidity, strange language and faces, strange architectural style and eating habits, all of them felt novel to him.Lin Muyan is a qualified patriarch. He had nothing to do that afternoon, so he took a few of their youngsters who came to England for the first time to visit the nearby old castle manor.

The next day was the opening day of the film festival. The night before, the organizer arranged a relatively open reception, which was convenient for the participating crew and creators to communicate with each other, and also warmed up for the opening of the next day.

Lin Muyan brought Qu Xi and Xiao Tong to the reception, not because he wanted to meet someone, but because he was afraid that the two would be nervous the next day, so he brought them to experience it first.However, I don't know whether it was because there were too few oriental faces that night, or because the three of them were too eye-catching. Not long after they sat down, someone came over to talk to them.

The visitor was a 35-year-old man who claimed to be French, but spoke English fluently.Although this kind of occasion is open, it actually requires an invitation letter, so everyone who can come in is not an ordinary person.Although Lin Muyan didn't know the other party, he still exchanged a few polite words.

Unexpectedly, after the visitor said a few words, he turned his gaze to Quxi.

Lin Muyan had received Zhang Yang's advice in advance, knowing that Quxi didn't speak foreign languages ​​very much, so he said to the French man, "My friend doesn't like English, so you don't mind if I help you translate?" The man hurriedly said to Lin Muyan thank.

"The Frenchman said that he is a director and would like to invite you to play a role in his next movie, and asked if you would like it." Lin Muyan said to Qu Xi.

With a blank face, Qu Xi said to Lin Mu, "Tell him that I didn't bring a manager with me today."

Lin Muyan translated to the man, who was a little disappointed when he heard the words, and thanked Lin Muyan before leaving.

"I can't tell, you've learned badly." Lin Muyan said to Quxi.

Qu Xi smiled and said: "Xiao Tong taught me this. When someone invites you, if you don't want to agree or don't know how to answer, just say this."

Upon hearing this, Lin Muyan turned his eyes to Xiao Tong, and said meaningfully: "I didn't even give a reason for rejection, it's like what you said."

"Why do you say that?" Qu Xi asked with a rare gossip face.

Lin Muyan raised his eyebrows, not knowing how to answer for a while.Qu Xi then set his eyes on Xiao Tong, Xiao Tong took a look at Lin Muyan, and said, "Should we go back, I feel like someone is walking towards us again."

As soon as he finished speaking, two men came over, this time they were aimed at Xiao Tong and Qu Xi.When they were selecting the shortlisted films, they watched "The Storm" and were very impressed with this ancient costume drama with oriental martial arts flavor, so after recognizing Qu Xi and Xiao Tong, they couldn't help but come over to say hello.

"There are only two Asian films shortlisted for this film festival, so it's easier for us to be noticed." After the two greeted each other and left, Lin Mu said, "It's a pity that Zhang Yang didn't come tonight. If he came, You can communicate more with other teams as a producer or producer, maybe it will bring us good cooperation opportunities."

After all, for a film festival of this level, the technical and artistic level of the team that can get the invitation letter is guaranteed to a certain extent.If there is an opportunity to cooperate, it is very rare for them now.But Lin Muyan is a director after all, and he himself doesn't like to socialize, so he's really not very good at these things.

On the second day's opening red carpet, Lin Muyan walked Qu Xi and Xiao Tong together.

Most of the crews who walk the red carpet are either men and women, or young and old, or a single star walks alone.It's really rare for three young men to walk together like the crew of "Ding Feng Bo".In addition, the three of them all have oriental faces, and each of them is very outstanding, so they have attracted a lot of attention.

Qu Xi is wearing the suit that Zhang Yang customized for him today, and in order to make him look more mature, the stylist helped him blow up his hair, revealing his smooth forehead.This hairstyle has high requirements on the shape of the face, and if there are blemishes on the face, it is easy to magnify them.

However, Quxi's facial features were the kind where he couldn't find any faults. After exposing his forehead, his whole person lost a bit of his childishness, and he looked more mature and stable, which made him even more eye-catching.

On the same day, domestic reports published red carpet photos of Qu Xi, Lin Muyan, and Xiao Tong in the same frame. At the same time, the topic of "Ding Feng Bo" being shortlisted for the A-category film festival became a hot search topic.The distributor had already prepared a draft, and took advantage of the popularity of the film festival to release it simultaneously across the network, successfully helping "Ding Feng Bo" to gain a sense of presence in the field of vision of domestic audiences.

The next day, the pre-order page of several major domestic ticketing websites added the pre-order option of "The Storm", and in the description column, the tag [the only Chinese-language shortlisted film at the 2018 Sheffield Film Festival] was tagged.

The film festival lasts for more than ten days. In addition to the main competition unit, there are other non-competition units and other categories of screenings. The screening of "Setting the Storm" was scheduled for the evening of the third day of the film festival, and all three of Quxi arrived at the scene ahead of schedule.This is the first time the film has been screened publicly. Although it is inside the festival and the total audience does not exceed 100, it means a lot to them.

Because at the scene, they will intuitively feel every audience's reaction to the movie.

In fact, many film creators and actors will quietly hide in the auditorium when the film is released to observe the audience's reaction on the spot.The plots set in many movies, such as laughs or tears, can be tested in the most authentic audience reactions.

"I'm a little nervous." Qu Xi whispered to Xiao Tong beside him.

Xiao Tong stretched out his hand and pressed on his knee, which was comforting.

In fact, it wasn't just Qu Xi, Xiao Tong and Lin Muyan were not at all more relaxed than Qu Xi.It's not a question of whether to win an award or not. They are already satisfied with being shortlisted. What they care about or look forward to more is that the audience can recognize it when they watch it.

When the film started to play the title, Qu Xi couldn't help but took two deep breaths.Then the audience sitting on his right suddenly reached out and patted the hand on his side.Qu Xi was startled, and hurriedly withdrew his hand, but when he subconsciously turned his head to look, he realized that the person sitting beside him was not a stranger.

"You..." The boy was so excited that he almost forgot the occasion, and only then did he react when he saw the other party put his hand on his lips.

In the dark, he forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and then quietly held the hands of the people around him.
