Qi Yan lay down on the bed, thinking about resting for a while before going to take a shower, but gradually became confused, and unconsciously opened his right hand holding the phone.

Suddenly the phone vibrated several times in a row, he opened his eyes suddenly, and raised the screen to his eyes.I thought it was something else in the department, but I didn't expect it to be a few WeChat messages from high school classmates I hadn't contacted for a long time.

It basically said that he was going to get married next month, and asked if he had time to come to the wedding.

After replying "No problem, congratulations" and exiting the dialog box, Qi vowed to click into the chat group of the department.I don’t know who created this group, but it brings in all the singles anyway, and the name is to provide more communication opportunities for everyone, so as to solve personal problems as soon as possible.

The group is always very lively, news pops up one after another, everyone is in a state of gags and witty words, it is right to decompress after work, no one seriously regards it as a blind date group.

Qi Yan slipped a few strips casually and got up from the bed.Just as he was about to throw down his phone to take a shower, he was caught by a person's head portrait and stood by the bed.He zoomed in on the picture - the person inside still looked like a teenager, his complexion was almost pale, and he should be thinner than before.In the picture, there is a stubborn look with a slightly profiled face, and a tear is hanging on the chin that cannot be shed.

Someone in the group said—"Zheng, why did you change your profile picture again?"

——"Hey, my new husband, isn't he handsome?"

The man followed with a smiley expression - "I'm handsome?"

After logging out of WeChat, his thumb froze for a few seconds, but he still clicked on the browser and entered the word "paradise" in the search bar.

The header picture of the first report on the page is that photo, which is a still from a movie he recently participated in.

Qi vowed to read the text carefully, saying that Paradise recently ended its nearly four-month filming schedule in Hong Kong. He admitted that he encountered many difficulties during the filming process, but with the help of the director and other staff, he successfully resolved them. The film will show a very good effect.This is his breakthrough work, but it is difficult to release it in mainland China due to the subject matter.

Qi oath slid the page back to the top, stared at the photo, dazed for a moment, but still saved it.

The paradise was completed a week ago, but it is still in Hong Kong at the moment.Because the director Jiang Dazhang said that he would be his tour guide and take him around.The work is over, and no one here knows him, and Paradise is happy and at ease, so he readily agrees and treats him as a vacation.

Jiang Dazhang is in his forties and is a well-known literary film director in Hong Kong.The output of the film is low, and it may not be possible to make one in a few years.And he only shoots what he wants to shoot, most of them are niche films with strange tones, and he can't make much money.But he doesn't care too much, because he has never had to worry about food and drink since he was a child, and making movies is just about making movies, and he doesn't have to have anything to do with his livelihood.

Probably because of this, he can't see a bit of the greasy vicissitudes of a middle-aged man. He is not too young, but he still has the taste of a literary youth, a bit paranoid about not caring about world affairs.

He wears glasses, has a bit of a beard, and is good-natured, but also stubborn.

If the picture doesn't satisfy him, he will do it again and again. He talks to the actors in a gentle manner, and doesn't lower the standard even if the other party is tired of reading.

It stands to reason that Paradise cannot reach Jiang Dazhang's circle. He is an "idol" actor, not a young performing artist.Over the years, he has acted in several TV series, which is not considered top traffic but has some fans.

The company intended to create a "hard-working personality" for him, and fans also love to brag that he "obviously can eat with his face, but rely on his talent", saying that he works hard and his acting skills have been improving.

Where there are fans, there are blacks. Blacks always say that his acting is all brainless idol dramas, and it is enough to show off his face, so he doesn't need acting skills.Paradise does not agree with this point, no matter what role you need acting skills, how to play a mentally retarded character so that it is not so mentally retarded also requires hard work.

He likes to search for himself on the Internet. He is happy when he sees good reviews, but he can't ignore bad reviews. His mood will always be affected.Paradise hopes that she can act well, not because she has a lot of professional pursuits, but because she always thinks that Qi Shi might see herself on TV, so she can't be looked down upon by him.

Therefore, Paradise was taken aback when it received an invitation from Jiang Dazhang, but it was about to agree immediately.

When we first met, I asked Jiang Dazhang why he chose him. Jiang Dazhang said with a smile: "When I went to the mainland, I saw one of your commercials. I think your image is very suitable for this role. When I read the script, the first thing I thought of was you. .”

Paradise thought that he wanted to be polite, so he beat around the bush and said that he was not capable enough to support this role.

Jiang Dazhang shook his head: "Don't worry about this, acting skills can be perfected, leave everything to me."

After the filming started, Korakuen did taste his "sex means".

This is a big male lead drama, and the weight of Paradise is heavy.But because I couldn't find the feeling at the beginning, the shooting progress was extremely slow, and sometimes I could repeat a scene more than ten times, and even took nearly a week to shoot a scene.

Afterwards, things got better and better, but after the finale, there was a feeling that I couldn't get out.The movie is called Fourteen, and it tells the story of a transvestite man with a lot of homosexual elements.The entangled and painful state of the protagonist in the early stage can even remind him of Qi oath unconsciously.Immersed in such a state for a long time, it is really difficult to withdraw at the end of the moment.

Therefore, Paradise believes that Jiang Dazhang invited him to stay in Hong Kong to help him ease his emotions.

But Wu Jiakun reminded mysteriously: "I think you should be careful with him."

"What do you mean?"

"Director Jiang is still unmarried. I also heard that he is gay. Maybe he has a crush on you."

Paradise couldn't help laughing: "Not all gays will fall in love with me, just like not all women will fall in love with you." He patted Wu Jiakun's arm, "I really think too much, Director Jiang doesn't mean that to me. "

During the four months of filming, we got along almost day and night, and Jiang Dazhang didn't talk to him about anything other than the movie.

But what Paradise did not expect was that Jiang Dazhang was a person who was very particular about "distinguishing between public and private".Filming is a business matter, once Wu Jiakun leaves, it will be a private matter for the two to travel to Hong Kong together.
