Live Like You [Entertainment]

The woman opened the door and was stunned for a while before realizing: "Is it...Xizhang?"

He Xizhang took off the sunglasses on his face and smiled: "Yes, Aunt He, I'll come and see you."

The woman suddenly became happy, and she moved away: "Come in and sit, come in and sit quickly, oops, you didn't tell me earlier, I don't have anything prepared at home."

He Xizhang walked in the door with a smile: "I'm not busy, I'll leave soon after I sit down."

Aunt He said: "I know you're busy, you're a famous person now." Saying that, she walked into the kitchen, "Wait, Aunt He will make you a cup of coffee. You've been abroad for so many years, you should like that. Two days ago, your brother Xiaozheng was filial to me and sent me some, where is it..."

He Xizhang stood in the living room, looking around.This is an ordinary two-bedroom apartment with two bedrooms and one living room. The house is more than 20 years old, and the furniture is also a bit old, full of fireworks.On the wall are commemorative photos of the family, wedding photos of the couple, photos of the children when they were young, and photos of the reunion during the Chinese New Year.It can be seen that the family's standard of living is not bad.

Aunt He shouted from the kitchen, "Xizhang, sit down, don't stand, treat this place like your own home."

He Xizhang let out a "hey" and saw a faded old photo in the corner of the photo area on the wall. Aunt He in the photo was still young, holding a little doll carved in pink and jade, yes Looking nervously at the camera, behind is a beautiful big bungalow.

He Xizhang's biological father's surname was Zeng, and his biological mother's surname was Lu, but his surname was He. No one knew that his surname came from the woman who was busy in the kitchen.It doesn’t matter how close she is. He Xizhang’s biological mother, Ms. Lu, naturally loves beauty. Pregnancy and breastfeeding are a must for her. After giving birth to He Xizhang, on the one hand, she heard that breastfeeding will cause her breasts to sag I don't like it, on the one hand, I really don't have much milk, so I invited He Shi to be the nurse.It can be said that He Xizhang grew up drinking Aunt He's milk.

Aunt He came to work from other places, and He Xizhang became the nanny of Ms. Lu's family after weaning.After Mr. Zeng's attitude towards Ms. Lu changed, Ms. Lu's temperament changed drastically. She always thought that everything was He Xizhang's fault, and beat, scolded and humiliated him frequently, as if she was a father-killing enemy.Although Aunt He did not dare to stop the hostess, but looking at the poor little He Xizhang, she would take care of her secretly.Or leave some leftovers for him, or gauze iodine and the like, although he dare not help him openly, it is also one of the few warmths that He Xizhang shared in his childhood.Later, Mr. Zeng cut off Ms. Lu's financial resources, and Ms. Lu was so ruined that the servants could no longer be used, so Aunt He was fired.After graduating from the third year of junior high school, after Ms. Lu died, He Xizhang took his account book to the police station to change his name, and changed "Xizhang" to "Xizhang". Water - the original meaning of the word Zhang, with a high source and a low flow, which resembles his life trajectory so far.If you have a name, you must have a surname. He Xizhang hesitated for a while, so he took the surname "He", which has been used until today.

He Xizhang knew how to repay his kindness, and after joining the entertainment industry to make money on his own, he found Aunt He again and sent her money regularly every month.Aunt He was embarrassed to ask for it at first, but just happened to meet Aunt He's husband who had a troublesome illness and needed money, and later accepted it, and this subsidy lasted for more than ten years.

Aunt He said in the kitchen: "Aunt He saw your news on TV two days ago. It was said that you started a big company and became the boss."

He Xizhang said: "It's just a studio, take care of my own work, and bring a few artists to try, it's not a big company."

Aunt He said: "Yes. You are all young people in this industry. Although you are young, you should always think about the long-term. There are multiple futures and multiple guarantees."

He Xizhang did not refute Aunt He. In the eyes of Aunt He's generation, nothing is more important than stability.Being an artist is a youth meal, and starting a company is actually not very safe. It is best to find a public job to do it, but he has already stepped into the entertainment industry, so he has to settle for the next best thing. Being a boss is better than being a receptionist.

He Xizhang said, "Aunt He, have you used the skin care products I sent you last time?"

Aunt He brought out the coffee and touched the skin on her face: "I've used it, it's so expensive, it's too wasteful to use it at Aunt He's age."

He Xizhang said: "Where is wasted, the money earned is used."

Aunt He sighed a little: "You are promising now, if your mother is still alive..." She suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing, and said silently, "I, I will cut the fruit for you."

He Xizhang watched her go back into the kitchen before opening the door of a certain room.The curtains were drawn in the room, and it looked a little dark. He Xizhang turned on the lamp and saw a room full of sundries.There are children's toys, living utensils, and some miscellaneous things, all of which were sent to Aunt He by He Xizhang back then.When Ms. Lu died, she had almost nothing. The house was mortgaged and the valuable belongings were pawned off. The only thing left was some worthless broken things. At that time, He Xizhang only took these things away. He kept these things.

Aunt He's family was very responsible, and took He Xizhang's money, so they kept it well for him.He Xizhang walked to a wooden box and was about to open it when his cell phone rang.Glancing at the phone screen, He Xizhang's originally polite expression softened. He pressed the answer button, opened the case cover, and Zhou Wenjin's voice came from the receiver.

"He Daxi, what are you doing?"

He Xizhang found that Zhou Wenjin was becoming less and less particular about speaking to him now, and he loved this kind of carelessness.

He Xizhang said, "Get busy."

Zhou Wenjin said: "Why are you always so busy? We haven't seen each other for a long time. Are we still in a relationship?"

He Xizhang laughed: "Miss me?"

"Who misses you!" Zhou Wenjin paused, "Forget it, I missed you."

He Xizhang's chest seemed to be hit by something, and a small flower of secret joy bloomed.

"I'll finish my work soon, and I'll see you when I get back." He Xizhang took out everything from the box with one hand, including the faded elementary school textbooks, and some small clothes that don't seem outdated today.

Zhou Wenjin said: "I just saw "Pencil Box"."

He Xizhang's hand paused, and he probably understood why Zhou Wenjin made this call.

"Where did you get it?" He Xizhang asked, and found an old schoolbag at the bottom of a pile of clothes.The schoolbags carried by elementary school students in those days were not as hideous as they are now, and even children could carry them without pulleys.

Zhou Wenjin said, "Xiao Shen gave it to me."

"Oh, she." He Xizhang said, opened the lid of the schoolbag, and reached in to feel for it.Soon, he found something and turned the schoolbag over.

"What sound?" Zhou Wenjin asked.

"Looking through the documents." He Xizhang said, clamping the mobile phone between his shoulder and ear, took out a small knife, and carefully cut open the interlayer inside the schoolbag.The black tarpaulin was torn apart, and He Xizhang reached in and took out a thin book.

Zhou Wenjin said: "Oh." He said, "Looking back at "Pencil Box" now, the feeling is really different."

He Xizhang glanced outside the door, seeing that Aunt He was still busy with fruit, he quickly turned the schoolbag over, closed the zipper again, put it back in its original position, and covered the children's clothes as usual .When He Xizhang saw one of the small suits, He Xizhang's hands paused. It was his tenth birthday. Ms. Lu bought it for him in a good mood, but later she cut the suit into pieces.Only when He Xizhang grew up did he realize that on that day, Ms. Lu was completely returned by Mr. Zeng, and all her hopes of marrying into a wealthy family were completely shattered.

He Xizhang gave a "hmm", but he didn't really hear what Zhou Wenjin was talking about.

Zhou Wenjin just thought he was embarrassed, so he said: "Well... how should I put it, people always have to look forward, the past has passed, and there are still many good days waiting for us in the future."

He Xizhang's hand that was about to cover the box suddenly stopped, and it was only at this moment that he realized Zhou Wenjin's intention for making this call.

Zhou Wenjin said: "Anyway, with me by your side in the future, no one will be able to bully you, so don't worry!" After speaking, he was probably a little embarrassed, and he said quickly, "That's it, I have to go to work, Bye!" Before He Xizhang could reply, he hung up the phone.

The busy tone of "beep" came from the receiver, and it took a while for He Xizhang to straighten up slowly, his eyes were soft, but then he showed a complicated expression.

"Xizhang, here it is." Aunt He came over with a plate full of fruit in her hand.

He Xizhang smiled embarrassedly and said: "I'm sorry, Aunt He, the company needs me for something, so I'll leave first." After speaking, he left this place as if fleeing.

"Look, Pandora's exclusive interview for you is out!" Shao Cheng pointed at the screen and called Zhou Wenjin to come and watch.

As a well-known leading magazine in the domestic fashion circle, being able to appear on "Pandora" represents an artist's status in the industry.It stands to reason that Zhou Wenjin's current position would definitely not be able to get on the stage of Pandora. Do an interview.

"Time has fulfilled me instead of delaying me: approach Zhou Wenjin." Shao Cheng said, "This title is wonderful, Xiaoxia, what do you think?"

Xia Yingjie rested his chin beside him and didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't hear Shao Cheng's words at all.He had a suspicious smile on his face, making people look a little creepy.

Shao Cheng lowered his voice and asked Zhou Wenjin: "What's wrong with Xiao Xia, she looks really scary."

Ever since he found out that Xia Yingjie had a personal relationship with their boss, Zhang Quan, and had other thoughts about Zhang Quan, Zhou Wenjin saw that Xia Yingjie always had complicated feelings that he didn't know how to evaluate. Can't handle it."

Shao Cheng glanced at Xia Yingjie, nodded vigorously: "Forget it, anyway, he is not an artist anymore, as long as he doesn't cause trouble."

Zhou Wenjin thought to himself, neither of us can avoid the trouble he caused.

Shao Cheng pushed the notebook over: "Look at it."

"Pandora" published Zhou Wenjin's interview on two full pages, full of praise.

Q: What do you think of your popularity?

A: I am far from being popular now, but it is always a good thing to be popular, which represents everyone's recognition of my acting skills.

Q: Many fans fell in love with you from your bright light, and then fell in love with Zuo Jianqing, what do you think?

A: The most important thing to be an actor is to make your own characters come alive. Today I play a likable character and everyone likes it. If one day I play an annoying character and everyone hates it, it means I am successful. up.

Q: What do you think about the grievances of seven years ago being cleared?

A: It's a relief.In addition, I think the entertainment industry should be a place to create dreams and produce positive energy. I hope that dark and negative things can stay away from this circle.

Q: Do you still hate homosexuality?

Zhou Wenjin was a little taken aback when he saw this. He remembered that the interviewer asked at that time. Is there anything wrong that needs to be clarified here, such as homophobia?Zhou Wenjin's answer is that it's all over, and I don't want to say more. In short, everyone has the legitimate right to love, whether it's the same sex or the opposite sex.And now the answer published in the magazine is: "To clarify, I have never been homophobic. I believe that everyone has the right to love, regardless of gender, and my original words are that I am not gay. If I am, I should Thunder strikes because I lied to the public."

The sentence published in "Pandora" is indeed what Zhou Wenjin once said. The problem is that it was the former Zhou Wenjin, and now he has He Xizhang, and he remembers that he specially explained to the other party what he said many years ago Just an angry sentence: "At that time, people kept asking me if I was gay. I explained it many times but no one listened. I said such a sentence in a fit of anger. Looking at it now, this sentence is neither appropriate nor appropriate. Yes." Zhou Wenjin didn't know if "Pandora" got information about what he said in the past from other channels and happened to publish it, but looking at this sentence now...

Shao Cheng obviously noticed it too, and muttered: "That's not right, there was no such sentence in the manuscript that was sent to us for review..." Suddenly, Shao Cheng's cell phone rang, and he glanced at the screen, couldn't help but beam with joy, " It's from The Messenger."

"The Envoy" is a movie that Shao Cheng is actively helping Zhou Wenjin to fight for recently. At present, Zhou Wenjin has passed the audition and has reached the stage of negotiating the terms of the contract. Big screen opportunity now.

Shao Cheng chatted on the phone for a few words, his face suddenly changed, he walked quickly to the balcony, closed the door and talked there.

"What! Impossible... Here, what do you want us to do!" Shao Cheng's words came intermittently, and Zhou Wenjin looked at Shao Cheng's back and felt a little bit of a bump in his heart, with a bad feeling.

"Fuck!" Shao Cheng cursed suddenly, then glanced back, and lowered the volume again. After a long time, he hung up the phone and walked in.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Shao Cheng's perplexed expression, Zhou Wenjin sorted out his emotions and asked as calmly as possible, ""The Envoy"...is there something wrong?"

Shao Cheng sighed: "I was cut off."

When things that were agreed upon suddenly become obsolete, it is called being intercepted.This kind of thing is not common in the entertainment industry, but it is not impossible to happen.But Zhou Wenjin's contact with the other party has been very smooth. Who would have thought that it would be yellow when it came to the door?

Zhou Wenjin was not disappointed in his heart. In order to prepare this historical film about Su Qin, a strategic strategist, Zhou Wenjin has put in a lot of effort these days. He not only read the history thoroughly, but also invited a special historian to give him In class, who would have thought that it would suddenly disappear.

"Who cut it off?"

"I don't know yet." Shao Cheng said, "I've asked someone to inquire about it. Don't worry, there will be other opportunities without this movie. They are not the only ones looking for us."

Zhou Wenjin didn't expect that this was just the beginning.After "The Messenger", Zhou Wenjin's original announcements, whether it was variety shows, commercial endorsements, or drama series, were inexplicably lost. At the same time, whether Zhou Wenjin, who was drawn out by the interview with "Pandora", was homophobic Discussion posts suddenly appeared on a large scale on major media platforms, and people began to discuss him one after another.

Netizen A: This is still homophobia. I am so afraid that if I say I am gay, I will be struck by lightning!

Netizen B: Gays don’t owe Zhou Wenjin a penny, but thank his whole family, gay circles don’t welcome him, Zhou Wenjin, okay?

Netizen C: Since you are so afraid of being seen as gay, can you stop talking to He Xizhang?

Netizen D: Don't say it, although I don't like homosexuality very much, but it's a bit too much to talk about a group I don't know.

Zhou Wenjin's fans naturally didn't buy it, so they pinched him hard.The fighting spirit is strong here, but one day, a certain entertainment marketing account released an ambiguous announcement: "Who can tell right from wrong, and passers-by point to this Wednesday." The accompanying picture is a night The candid photo was taken of two men hugging each other. The moment Zhou Wenjin saw this photo, he knew it was him and He Xizhang.

Shao Cheng observed his words and quickly reacted: "Don't panic, I'll contact Fan Miao, we can handle it." Saying that, he left quickly.But Zhou Wenjin was not at all at ease, he had an indescribable intuition that this matter could not be suppressed.
