Just from his tone, he couldn't tell whether he was angry or blamed. "That's my manager," Gu Enzhong said, "you don't have to be afraid of her, she knows you."

"I didn't..." Jian Mingcheng said, pushing Gu Enzhong away with a little effort.He walked a few steps to the place where they were sitting just now, only to find a pile of opened copies on the seat.He picked it up and flipped through the cover, and found that it was the script of "Star Stone".

He turned around and asked, "Are you really going to make "Star Rock"?"

Gu Enzhong walked over, put his arms around his waist from behind, and said, "I didn't think about taking this role, but..."

"But this is not your acting style." Jian Mingcheng said, "Don't you want to make a scene like "The End of the Desert"?"

"It's not that simple." Gu Enzhong said.He didn't seem to intend to continue on this topic, so he asked Jian Mingcheng instead: "It's you, did something happen?"

Jian Mingcheng turned around to face him and asked, "Can you see that?"

Gu Enzhong said: "You are not in the right mood."

Jian Mingcheng put his arms around his neck and began to kiss. At this moment, as if he wanted to make up for his inattention just now, Gu Enzhong gave him what could be called a wild response.After the kiss, Jian Mingcheng said: "I have encountered a considerable setback in the matter of being an elder brother." Then, he remembered that maybe he should not mention the matter of becoming an elder brother in front of Gu Enzhong, so he let go. He sat down on the chair alone.

What kind of story is "Star Stone", after Jian Mingche's criticism just now, he no longer has much expectations.Looking through the script of this drama now, I also found that this is indeed not my favorite genre.

There are some outlines and notes made with a black pen on the script. Jian Mingcheng can see that it is Gu Enzhong's handwriting, but the most obvious lines marked are not the male lead.

At this time, Gu Enzhong also sat down on the chair opposite him, and said, "I also have a younger brother." He paused, and continued, "It's the care I told you about last time."

Jian Mingcheng didn't expect that he would take the initiative to talk about this, so he raised his head and looked at him.

Gu Enzhong said: "He is 17 years old, sunny, cheerful, with good grades. He likes to play basketball and make friends with like-mindedness. But that's all I know about him. Maybe I'm the most incompetent elder brother in the world. "

Jian Mingcheng took it for granted that it was because Gu Enzhong was busy with work.

"When he was born, I was struggling with whether to give up my studies for an acting career. Later, after the relationship with my family became not so good, I never went back. I didn't see him until he was 12 years old. Once, in the first year of middle school, he came to Qingteng alone to find me, but I had no time to take care of him because I was too busy with filming, so I left him to my assistant... Now that I think about it, it must have hurt him a lot. But at that time, I didn’t have the self-consciousness as an older brother at all.”

Gu Enzhong smiled very briefly, and said: "Imagine, one day, a kid suddenly comes to you and calls you 'brother' excitedly, but you don't have any feelings for him at all. No matter who it is, It's all pretty brutal."

Jian Mingcheng began to regret mentioning this matter.However, Gu Enzhong continued: "Every year after the holidays, he will come to Ivy League to find me alone. Every time I try to play the role of a good brother. But outside the camera, such efforts seem very Overwhelmed."

"Did he come to see you this winter vacation?" Jian Mingcheng asked.

Gu Enzhong shook his head and said, "He is in his third year of high school this year, so he probably hasn't had a holiday yet."

Jian Mingcheng thinks, maybe what Jian Mingche said is right, two people who love each other can't always expect care from each other, but should take the initiative to give each other a shoulder they can rely on.Although he didn't think he could give Gu En much help, at least in terms of being an older brother, he was much more experienced than him.

"Then let's take him to Harbin together." Jian Mingcheng said.

Gu En looked at him again, as if he wasn't sure if there was any point in doing so.

He continued: "Isn't the Ice and Snow Festival going to last for more than two months? Let's adjust the itinerary, come here after Gu Zhao's vacation, and then go to Harbin together."

Seeing the confidence and expectation on his face, Gu Enzhong didn't say no. He raised his arms and opened his arms to him, and Jian Mingcheng walked over and sat astride him.He asked: "With my even more shameless brother at the bottom, are you proud?"

Jian Mingcheng smiled unabashedly and asked, "So? How are you going to punish me?"

This sentence already had an obvious provocative meaning, Gu Enzhong raised his eyebrows, his eyes suddenly became hot, and asked him: "How do you want me to punish you?"

Jian Mingcheng bent down and bit his ear, and said, "You really can hold your breath..."

When Jian Mingcheng woke up the next morning, he saw the golden statue on the bedside table in the bedroom. He turned his head and saw that Gu Enzhong was also awake, sitting on the bed and reading a script.Then he got playful and picked up the statuette as a microphone—unexpectedly heavy, and held it in front of Gu Enzhong.

"May I ask Mr. Gu, how do you feel about winning the Best Actor award at the Academy Awards this time?"

Gu Enzhong also let him, pretending to ponder for a while, and said: "First of all, I would like to thank the jury and the audience for being able to affirm my performance in this play, and second, I would like to thank the director of the crew and everyone who participated in this play." Crew and cast, this role wouldn't exist without you, and in the end—”

Before he finished speaking, Jian Mingcheng was tired of lifting, put down the little golden man, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "It's a commonplace."

However, Gu Enzhong held his hand and continued to raise the "microphone", saying: "Finally, I would like to say something to the person next to me, thank you for appearing in my life."

Jian Mingcheng stared at him. He naturally knew that it was impossible for Gu Enzhong to say such a thing at the real awards ceremony, but even if it was a lie, it was enough to make his heart move.

He got up and put the statuette back where it was, then sat next to Gu Enzhong to read the script with him.He said: "Your words are really getting better and better, but the more nice you say, the less I believe it."

Gu Enzhong stretched out a hand to hug him, and Jian Mingcheng held the script for him.Gu Enzhong said: "Obviously you intended to lure me into saying nice things, but in the end you accused me of being glib."

Jian Mingcheng felt a little embarrassed when he was seen through, and wanted to change the subject.He looked at the script and asked, "Are you playing the second male lead this time?"

Gu Enzhong didn't speak, just nodded.While looking at the lines in the script, Jian Mingcheng imagined what it would be like when these words came out of Gu Enzhong's mouth.

"Turn the page."

Hearing this, he honestly helped him turn to the next page and asked, "Who is the number one male?"

Gu En laughed again and said, "You might as well ask who the female number one is."

Jian Mingcheng said: "Aren't the media very happy to report this? I know who the female number one is, even if you don't tell me."

"Then you should also know that creating gossip and hype is also one of the means of survival in this industry."

"Are you reminding me not to listen to the wind and the rain?" Jian Mingcheng seemed very indifferent, and said, "That Lian Ya is about the same age as Jian Mingche, you are already old, and you are still hyping you up. people believe?"

Gu Enzhong heard the little emotion in his tone, but deliberately pretended not to know, just said: "Turn the page."

Jian Mingcheng saw that he didn't respond, and instantly felt that he was too narrow-minded, and it was a little disgusting to think about it, so he didn't continue on this topic.

"Speaking of which, if you don't win the best actor award this time, will you be very disappointed?"

Gu Enzhong said: "There will be more or less. Honor, although it cannot explain anything in essence, is still very convincing as a powerful means of proof. Turn the page."

Jian Mingcheng turned another page when he heard the words, and said at the same time: "I think honor can be equated with attention in terms of performance, and this conversion relationship can only last for a short time. But even if it is only 1 minute, I will be very dissatisfied." I am used to this kind of sudden increase in attention, so honor is more like pressure in my opinion. It affirms your past and spurs your future. It’s like building a monument to yourself.”

"So the purpose of setting up awards is to encourage, not to reward. Martyrs are certainly worthy of admiration, but more importantly, are those who are still alive."

Jian Mingcheng turned a page in thought, but Gu Enzhong told him to "wait", and he said, "I haven't finished reading yet."

Jian Mingcheng flipped through the script and asked him: "Do you value this drama very much? I have been reading the script since last night."

"It's not a question of whether you value it or not," Gu Enzhong said, "it's just a question of should and shouldn't."

Jian Mingcheng said: "Mr. Gu, please answer my question directly. Did you decide to act as the second male lead in this play on the premise of respecting your own wishes?" He closed the script. I had to stop and answer his question seriously.

"Although I don't have the ability to help you, but if you have to make some reluctant compromises under unavoidable circumstances, at least I can give you comfort."

"It's not that serious." Gu Enzhong said, "But I know your heart."

Probably because of Jian Mingcheng's disturbance, Gu Enzhong didn't pay attention to read it, and then simply dropped the script, and the two of them nestled on the bed for a while before getting up to wash and cook.

Jian Mingcheng returned to Fuji University at noon, and as soon as he walked downstairs to the apartment building, he saw a person sitting on a bench by the side of the road.He wanted to ignore it, but he thought that the other party was only fulfilling his duties as a brother, so he walked over and sat on the other side of the bench.

"You're a 'cousin', you are really closer than a 'brother'."
