Jian Mingcheng suddenly remembered something, took down the phone to look at it, and put it back to his ear hesitantly, so blood gushed to the base of his ear.Do you want to say that you accidentally pressed the wrong button because you were distracted just now?But this would be too embarrassing, as if he wouldn't have called if he hadn't pressed the wrong button...

After struggling for a while, he said to the phone: "I want to see you."

Over there, Gu Enzhong seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, with a slight smile in his breath, but he said: "I can't do it today, I'll probably go back in the middle of the night."

Jian Mingcheng heard an unclear commotion over the phone, guessed that Gu Enzhong was probably at some kind of large party, and felt that his mistake was simply too inappropriate.

"Then...then you are busy, I'll hang up first—"

"Wait!" Jian Mingcheng was about to put down the phone when he heard Gu Enzhong say, "Don't hang up yet."

Gu Enzhong looked around, there were so many people in the venue, it was really not a suitable place to talk.He slightly raised his hand to greet the person who came with him, then walked towards the corner of the stairs deep in the corridor, and said softly to the other end of the phone: "Wait until I find a quieter place, I want to hear you talk too."

Behind him, many eyes in the venue also noticed the movement here.A young female artist joked: "Is it possible that Gu Enzhong is in a relationship? I heard earlier that he didn't renew his contract with Century Entertainment because he didn't want to continue to be restricted by the company's relationship with artists. Now it seems that it is not groundless..."

A person beside her immediately smiled and said, "You're belatedly aware. There are people around him long ago, and everyone knows it in their hearts without saying it publicly. Didn't they accidentally get photographed a while ago? "

"Ah! You mean that?" Several younger teenagers covered their mouths in shock, and one of them sighed: "I thought it was just a malicious attack by some people... I didn't expect it to be true ah……"

"Haha—what's so strange about this? You guys, if you see it a lot, just take it as a normal thing, just know it in your heart, but don't say it outside—I heard...is that person a model or some kind of writer? with..."

Gu Enzhong came to the dark stairwell and stood still, looked around, and suddenly burst out laughing, this place has an unusual meaning for the two of them...

Gu Enzhong told Jian Mingcheng about this, and he couldn't help laughing, remembering the embarrassment of being drunk and fell in front of Gu Enzhong, he couldn't help saying: "Is it really okay for you to sneak out like this? "

Gu En said with a serious smile: "I do this kind of thing often." He didn't shy away from his busy schedule, and then said slowly, "I originally wanted to find actors for "Golden Tide", but now almost everyone has seen it." It's just that I can't leave for a while."

"Have you found the right one?"

Gu Enzhong looked a little tired and disappointed, and said: "No. What I like is either that he is too old to act as a teenager, or he lacks some experience. It is more difficult." Acting can be unbearably harsh, and the timeline of this drama is too long, so the word "difficult" really doesn't have the slightest water.

"Couldn't we find more actors? For example, one to play a boy, one to play a young man, and one to play an old man?" Jian Mingcheng has watched this kind of TV series. Although it will destroy the sense of the whole, but he has no choice but to do it .But unexpectedly, Gu Enzhong's answer to this was extremely firm: "Absolutely not."

Jian Mingcheng seemed to be choked a little, and then thought that this was Gu Enzhong's insistence, and he was the only one who was good at making movies, so he really didn't have much right to speak.Then I heard Gu Enzhong explain: "If it is a TV series, there is nothing wrong with it, but this is a movie, and I want to make it as perfect as possible."

Jian Mingcheng expressed his understanding, and asked him not to put too much pressure on himself, lest things will turn against each other.

"I'm currently translating a new book. This time it's from Chinese to English. The length is very short. The editor also told me to try it first. After all, it's my major. If I have the opportunity, I can develop in this direction." He was a little pleased, and said, "And now I find that I'm not that bad at communication, at least the editors of the publishing house like me."

"Huh?" Gu Enzhong said, "Just don't be too cute, otherwise I will be very distressed."

Jian Mingcheng was proud of himself, and knew that he was joking, so he pushed forward a bit, and said: "We always get together less and leave more, no wonder everyone thinks that I am single, and that I haven't found a girlfriend until now. It's too reckless. Ah, I remembered, the editor did say a few days ago that he would introduce a girl to me..."

"Which editor? Shall I buy her some tea when I have time?"

He could imagine Gu Enzhong's expression on the other side of the phone now.Haha——he laughed out loud, and said, "If you really have this idea, I can give you her contact information, and she quite likes to watch your videos."

"It's too bad, I can't say enough about you." Gu Enzhong begged for forgiveness.

"After the filming of this movie is finished, I plan to take a break and go back to your house to have a look, or, to go to my house to have a look."

When Jian Mingcheng understood the meaning of "your home" and "my home" and something deeper behind them, he couldn't help falling into silence for a while.There are sprinklers passing by on the street outside the glass wall, and they are also silent, like a late traveler.

"Okay, I hope your film doesn't take too long."

"Well, as you wish."

If this is a promise, Gu Enzhong will have to admit that he made a slip of the tongue.The battle line to prepare for the filming of "Golden Tide" was longer than Gu Enzhong originally imagined. Although he was a trader behind the scenes, he also had his old club, Century Entertainment, a capital tycoon, and even director Luo Xun was also arrested. He said that the first-class production team has created a first-class script, but he has been unable to find the actor who can make the script have a visual soul-not only the leading role, but even Gu Enzhong has shown outstanding performance in the selection of supporting roles. The unprecedented harshness has made many people who know him surprised that this person who has always been impeccable in doing things can also be so stubborn.

Ning Lu, a good friend of Gu Enzhong's circle, publicly mentioned in an interview that she was originally invited by Gu Enzhong to audition for female roles in several dramas, but she thought they all passed the test, but in the end it was Gu Enzhong He was dissatisfied with himself, and he didn't show mercy to her at all, and didn't give him a role.Director Luo Xun also said in a program that Gu Enzhong is undoubtedly a good actor, but he is definitely not suitable to be a director who even reaches the qualified line, he will drive the crew and actors crazy.

The media only took it as a joke, and only those closest to Gu Enzhong knew how he was tortured by this movie.For a period of time, he was very thin and his face was extremely haggard. At one time, some unscrupulous media speculated whether a generation of film kings had something wrong to do because they couldn't think about it for a while.During this period, he did not publish any works, did not catch up with announcements, did not appear in the media, and did not participate in any public activities. When people were worried about his whereabouts, he actually went to act in a drama.

"Madame Butterfly" was packed, and Gu En's role as a Peking opera actor Song Liling in disguise after losing weight surprised many drama critics.This drama even crushed the hit movies of the same period in terms of public opinion attention. At the end of the drama, when Song Liling, who appeared in a man's costume, stripped off her clothes in front of her long-time lover Gao Renni to reveal her male body, the entire theater audience was excited. Emotions are at an all-time high.

The role of the media in fueling the flames is also unimaginable. The prices of movie tickets posted on the Internet have been inflated to an unbelievable level. Many fans of Gu Enzhong even posted pictures on their personal social accounts holding banners and begging for a movie ticket. I am afraid that the hotness will not be surpassed by anything until the end of this year.

Although Jian Mingcheng knew what would be performed on the stage long before he entered the theater, he still couldn't help feeling crazy and unbelievable.Gu Enzhong's dedication to performance may never be understood by him, but he has never given up trying his best to tolerate it.

Jian Mingche was also nervous, holding onto Jian Mingche's arm tightly as he pushed through the crowd and walked in.What he kept telling Jian Mingche was that the two theater tickets were given by a friend of his who had a relationship with the theater—it wasn't a lie.Jian Mingche also knows that he is quite famous in some circles now, and has made some friends in various fields, so he is not doubted.

The position of the two of them is not the best, but it is enough to see clearly every move of the actors on the stage.Jian Mingche was restless sitting in the seat, so Jian Mingcheng put his hand on hers to comfort her, but found that he was actually as nervous as her.

"I heard that Gu Enzhong's image has changed a lot recently. I don't know how it is different from before..."

Jian Mingcheng patted the back of her hand pretending to be calm, and said, "You'll know it when you see it." At this moment, the lights on the ceiling of the theater suddenly went out, and the play finally started.

When Madame Butterfly dressed in kimono appeared under the lights of the stage with a sad singing, Jian Mingcheng was unable to connect her with the person he was familiar with for a moment—he had never felt so deeply Realize the true meaning of what Gu Enzhong once said, never try to understand the real Gu Enzhong through the role.At this moment, he is a Japanese geisha who unfortunately fell in love with an American soldier—she called out to her lover, her ruthless husband and the heartless person who abandoned her with her affectionate singing, when she ended her tragic life by committing suicide At that time, the audience in the audience was moved, and the official of the French Embassy in China, Gao Renni, was also attracted by this mysterious and elegant oriental woman.

Taking off her costume, she became Song Liling. She told Gao Renni that she hated the story of this docile oriental woman and the cruel white man, and invited him to watch the real play at the Beijing Theater to broaden her knowledge.

Mu Lang, who plays Gao Renni, is also said to be a new star in the drama world. He was born in a professional drama performance, and his lines and performances are impeccable. However, whether in or out of the play, the light of this play belongs to Madame Butterfly in the end. .
