red and white roses together

The Yinyan Film Festival was held at the end of July, and countless actors and actresses, big and small, gathered in Haicheng.Ji Congxiao is no exception.

With the role of Jiang Zhipei, he was successfully nominated for Best Actor and was shortlisted again.As early as a few days ago, Han Lue told him the news, and said that no matter what excuses he used, he must attend.Han Lue knew that Ji Congxiao was filming now, and he was afraid that he would learn from Sheng Huai and come up with a set of magic tricks that he didn't have any interest in, so he insisted that he agree to attend.In fact, he was overthinking it, focusing on the fact that Sheng Huai would attend, and Ji Congxiao had to attend even if he was desperate.

The sea breeze is gentle and the sun is strong. On the sea not far away, from time to time, motorboats draw one after another interlaced white waves, which is really beautiful.

This is a unique view of Haicheng, a tropical coastal city, but neither of the two people under a parasol on the beach has the heart to see this view.As early as this time last year at the Silver Goose Film Festival, it was second. The most important thing is that the two are different from other people who come here for leisure. They are talking about serious topics——

Gu Yangyang handed the tablet to Ji Congxiao, leaned beside him and flipped the pages on the screen with his fingers.

"So far, these brands that are about to renew their contracts have already finalized their contracts with other artists of the company. When I contacted the other endorsers who came to the door, they also expressed that they had no intention of signing. The scheduled mid-year charity dinner, BS [-]th anniversary celebration, etc. have all been cancelled..."

Gu Yangyang explained to Ji Congxiao one by one according to the documents on the tablet.This is what Ji Congxiao asked her to investigate after she heard Zheng Xihe leaked a few words in the "Heze" crew.She didn't expect to find out so many tricks when she checked.If she hadn't checked it out on purpose, the two of them probably wouldn't have noticed anything given that the two of them had been filming outside for years and had little contact with the company.

As she spoke, she looked at Ji Congxiao's expression.

You know, it's normal for them not to notice, but all of Ji Congxiao's resources are in Ye Zhuo's hands.Now that something is wrong, it is impossible for Ye Zhuo not to know about it.And so far there is no news or statement, which can only explain one problem, which is the acquiescence of the other party.

If she was treated like this by someone she had known for nearly ten years, she would probably have exploded in anger.

Looking at her cautious expression, Ji Congxiao couldn't help but smile.He knew what the girl was struggling with.

Gu Yangyang was taken aback by his smile: "Brother Ji, how can you still laugh? Is... are you too angry?"

"No. I'm just mentally prepared." Ji Congxiao squinted his eyes at the light breaking through the clouds above the sea in the distance.

In the past, he might not have understood why Ye Zhuo did this.But as early as this time last year, after the incident at the Genting Club, he had become somewhat defensive towards Ye Zhuo.After thinking and guessing about the other party's behavior for a year, it would be difficult if he didn't understand.

There is no other reason, it's just that the two pursued different things——

What Ye Zhuo wants is money, wealth, power and fame.But these happened to be things that he never cared about, or even paid attention to.

This is their fundamental difference.

The two stood on different roads from the beginning, but the roads they walked before had no forks.But now, his love, his love that is not visible in Ye Zhuo's eyes, forcibly separated the two roads, completely uncovering the false appearance of whitewashing peace that was hidden in front of their eyes, revealing the opposite inside. fundamentally incompatible.

Ji Congxiao wasn't very sad, as early as when he understood this fact, he was already mentally prepared for the two to part ways, and now he just waited for this day to finally come.It's just that although he was smiling, the smile didn't catch the eye. After all, even if he was well prepared, after all these years of friendship...

After hearing him finish, Gu Yangyang was silent for a moment, pursed his lips, and then made an oath to Ji Congxiao: "Brother Ji, don't worry, I won't be like Brother Ye, as long as you still need me, I will don't go."

Ji Congxiao was startled, his heart warmed up, and the corners of his lips slowly curved into a clear arc: "Let's talk about it and listen to it, but don't let your boyfriend hear it, I'm afraid he'll talk to you again." Want to fight with me."

Gu Yangyang knew that he was not good at responding to such topics, so he didn't say much after expressing his feelings, and immediately laughed along with him: "He dare not, if he dares to do it, Brother Ji asked Sheng Shen to beat him up."

"That's not allowed." Ji Congxiao immediately vetoed it, "I'll be fine with fighting, my brother Sheng just needs to be responsible for applauding me."

Gu Yangyang: "..."

She pretended that she hadn't received the dog food, continued to flip through the tablet, and brought up a photo of a middle-aged man, who was the old Mr. Chen.

"As for the dinner a few days ago, I asked An Lin, the actor who changed the wine for you, what she heard from her, and combined with some other information, I can confirm that it was Zheng Xihe who tossed about it. He I have always been jealous of your status in the company, thinking that the resources you have are the result of the company's tilt, so I have always reported ill will to you, and the director wanted to please investors, so the two hit it off."

Ji Congxiao propped his chin, brushing the corners of his lips with his fingers, in deep thought.After a while, he asked Gu Yangyang: "What about Mr. Chen?"

"Chen Jinguo, 39 years old, is a high-level executive of Youdu Company, who is probably the illegitimate son of the chairman of Udu Company. He is currently working...he has nothing to do, he is extremely afraid of his wife, and often hides from the sky—"

"Wait," Ji Congxiao called to stop her, "What did you say in the previous sentence?"

"According to reliable sources, he is the successor of Youdu's new film and television city project."

Ji Congxiao clicked his tongue lightly. He had met the team of this project once in Jinghuan.It's not that he thinks too much, but Du Mingjing's attitude towards them, this matter, these people, is a bit intriguing.I just don't know if Ye Zhuo... knows or doesn't know.

He was a little engrossed in his thoughts, completely oblivious to the fact that someone was walking towards him stepping on the soft white sand, and he naturally pulled the chair beside him: "Yangyang, can you order me an iced coffee?"

Gu Yangyang nodded, put down the tablet and left.

The voice rang in his ears, Ji Congxiao returned to his senses, turned his head to look at the person who came, and suddenly said in surprise: "Little Qiao!"

Qiao Yi smiled at him, and leaned back in the chair, with obvious tiredness on his brows.

"What's wrong with you?" Ji Congxiao sized him up several times, then frowned immediately, "Why did you lose so much weight?"

The last time they met was a small gathering after he returned to China. Counting the time, they hadn't seen each other for several months. Usually, they only communicated by phone and news, and they couldn't see each other.He never expected that in just a few months, the other party was almost as thin as a circle, and even felt a little more dejected out of thin air.

"The new role request, don't worry." Qiao Yi rubbed his brows and said.

Ji Congxiao was silent, he knew the nature of his friend very well.As long as there is a play, no matter how tiring or difficult it is, it must be 100% completed.He wanted to persuade the other party to pay more attention to rest and not to take on all roles, but it was easy to hurt feelings when he said this.He could only insinuate from other topics: "By the way, how is Director Li? Is "Mute" going to be restarted?"

Qiao Yi's fingers stiffened when he heard this sentence: "Not so fast."

He responded in a low voice, not wanting to continue this topic, and immediately shifted his gaze to the table, he looked at Mr. Chen on the tablet, paused, and asked, "Who is this?"

"A man who deserves to be beaten." Ji Congxiao shrugged.

Qiao Yi laughed: "I saw him just now, in the hotel lobby."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that his friend's eyebrows were about to go up to the sky, and he choked up: "What's wrong?"

Ji Congxiao smiled at him and squeezed his fist: "Where in life do you not meet again, it doesn't take much effort to get here."

Qiao translated: "...these two sentences are not together."

Ji Congxiao: "...that's what I want to use!"

Qiao Yi shut up.

"Ji Chong Chong!"

A shout came from not far away, Ji Congxiao looked back, and raised his hand to greet the two: "Director Han, stay here."

"Qiao Yi is here too." Han Lue and He Liuliu sat down beside them.

Qiao Yi nodded and said hello.

"I heard that you went shopping today, why didn't you remember to call me?!" Han Lue glared at Ji Congxiao, "I've wanted to wear a coconut tree flower sweater for a long time!"

Ji Congxiao: "...Director Han, please remember that you are here for the film festival, not for vacation."

Han Lue looked at him like a fool: "Can't I go hand in hand?!"

Ji Congxiao: "..." As long as you are happy.

He was too lazy to chat with Han Lue about the customs of Haicheng, so he turned his head to see Qiao Yi chatting with He Liuliu.It's just that when I hear it, I feel wrong...

"Can I call you Xiao Qiao together with Chongchong?"

"Little Qiao, what do you usually like to do? Besides acting."

"Little Qiao, what do you drink? This is delicious here, I recommend it to you..."

"Little Joe..."

Ji Congxiao looked at He Liuliu's image in a bewildered manner, and didn't care about his image. He leaned next to Qiao Yi and asked this and that. He didn't know how to react for a while, but thought... Could it be that He Liuliu fell in love with his good friend? Yet?He was only in a daze, and the question and answer on the other end continued. To be precise, one side asked passionately, while the other had to answer.

"Little Qiao, I'm preparing for my next novel, why would you be the male protagonist for me—"

He Liuliu's words stopped abruptly.

Watching Qiao Yi standing up abruptly, Ji Congxiao suddenly recovered from his unreliable guesses, and almost immediately felt that He Liuliu's words were inappropriate.

"I still have some things to do. I'm sorry." After Qiao Yi said this, she immediately got up and left.

Ji Congxiao's face darkened in an instant. He stood up, pressed the table, and looked at the girl opposite with a serious expression: "Liu Liu, Qiao Yi is my good friend."

He put down these words and immediately ran after him.

He Liuliu looked blankly at Han Lue: "I...?"

Han Lue took out a cigarette and drank it: "Don't understand?"

He Liuliu nodded.

"Although I don't know why you are so enthusiastic about him, it's a bit unlike you, but it's very obvious that your enthusiasm has caused people's discomfort. You haven't noticed it yet."

"Of course, the key point is your last sentence - you let him be the hero for you. Such rash words are the greatest insult to an actor who is serious about acting."

He Liu stayed silent.She thought that Qiao Yi should want to have a good relationship with her now, but she never thought that her unintentional behavior would be such a big problem.

"At the same time—it can also be said that it doesn't give Ji Chongchong, who is Qiao Yi's friend, any face at all." Han Lue didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement.

"It's my fault, I'm going to apologize." She bit her lip and got up immediately, but was stopped by Han Lue: "He is angry, this is not a good time. Take it easy and prepare a more formal gift. "

……

This room, Han Lue finished his class for He Liuliu, and Ji Congxiao over there also caught up with Qiao Yi.Qiao Yi's state is obviously wrong, not only because of He Liuliu's words, he is in an extremely complicated state.However, he obviously didn't want to mention this matter. Ji Congxiao asked him several times, but he deliberately avoided the topic. Finally, it was almost time and he had to prepare to attend the awards ceremony. Ji Congxiao had no choice but to leave, planning to wait until the end Talk to him later.

He went back to his room, thinking about Qiao Yi all the way, the call to Sheng Huai was a few beats slower, and when the familiar voice came out of the receiver, he came back to his senses and stretched his brows:

"Did you get off the plane?"

Sheng Huai is no better than Ji Congxiao. Director Ning of "The Craftsman" has strict requirements, and strives for perfection in every frame and every painting. He is currently in the intense shooting stage, so he can't be a few days ahead of schedule like Ji Congxiao and Han Lue. When the day arrives, I can only catch the flight that day.

"Well," Sheng Huai responded, "I've already joined He She, and I'll be at the hotel in a while."

He She, as the president of Tiansong, naturally also received the invitation. The two pillars of Tiansong, Sheng Huai and Su Qing, were both going to attend, so she simply flew over from the imperial capital with her team, and even intimately booked it according to Sheng Huai's flight. After buying the plane ticket, he pretended not to let him and Su Qing be alone, in case Kid Ji would be jealous.Of course, she mainly wanted to gossip, and was tickled by Li Duan's reports every now and then. She just wanted to witness the earth-shaking changes in Shenghuai with her own eyes.

"I'll go directly to the hotel in a while, I have to do styling, and I have to meet with the crew of "Building a Dream", I guess I won't be able to see you in advance." Sheng Huai sat in the car, turned his head to look at the endless sea outside the window, and the sea breeze blew his eyes Hair, revealing his handsome eyebrows.

Su Qing and He She were sitting together, discussing the wedding - He She was Su Qing's best friend and her official bridesmaid.Hearing Sheng Huai's call, he was immediately surprised, and asked in a low voice, "Sheng Huai has a date?"

He She nodded.

She immediately covered her mouth: "Ah! Did the scandal we had before cause trouble for him? The girl must be angry, right?"

He She didn't correct the gender in her words, but just looked at the sky silently: "I don't know whether to say yes or no, after all, he agreed to Sheng Huai's pursuit because he was jealous."

Su Qing: "... Sheng Huai chasing people, uh, to be honest, I'm not very optimistic about it, it's not romantic and doesn't know how to flirt, little girls don't like that."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Sheng Huai say, "Want to know what my look looks like? No, no, I won't take pictures for you. I'd rather you see it yourself, so that you won't forget to look at me when you enter tonight. "

Su Qing: "..." She took back that sentence, love makes men fickle.

He She: "..." I finally understand Li Duan's feelings. Is this his mother still Sheng Huai? !

However, Sheng Huai didn't know about the slander of the two of them, and just continued to chat with Ji Congxiao without distraction.I don't know what the other party said, which made him laugh softly.

He She and Su Qing unanimously decided to overthrow the single serving of dog food.

……

Ji Congxiao was so tickled by Sheng Huai, he wished he could appear in front of Sheng Huai immediately.However, he was pinned in the room by Gu Yangyang, and after a long time of tossing around for styling and changing clothes, he joined Han Lue and the others and drove to the scene together.

Before He Liuliu got into the car, he apologized to Ji Congxiao in a low voice. Ji Congxiao wanted to ask her about her attitude towards Qiao Yi, but since there was Shen Hanruo besides Han Lue, he just ordered Nodded, didn't say much.

The crew walked the red carpet together, and Ji Congxiao stood beside Han Lue, completely avoiding the trouble of spreading scandals by standing with Shen Hanruo.

"Here comes another group of handsome men and beautiful women. Some of our acquaintances are here. They are here. Director Han and Cong Xiao. Long time no see." The host greeted Han Lue and Ji Congxiao who signed their names first.

"Director Han is our old acquaintance." The host laughed.

Han Lue curled his lips, obviously familiar with the host, and immediately joked: "If you shout like that, people will think I'm old!"

The host was also quick to respond: "Alright then, our young and old acquaintance, Director Han, is this time going to bring back the best director?"

Han Lue laughed happily, coughed lightly, and then replied seriously: "It's natural, everyone who comes here must plan to go home with a trophy, of course I am no exception."

The two talked a few more words, and then handed the microphone to Ji Congxiao: "Congxiao was our Silver Goose Best Actor last year, and he is competing for this award again this year, do you have confidence in yourself?"

Ji Congxiao smiled, and replied: "I definitely have confidence in my acting skills, but I also have confidence in Brother Gu Ting and the other seniors' acting skills!"

Indeed, as he said, among the best actor nominated by Yinyan this time, whether it is Gu Ting, who came with the historical feature film, or the others, their strengths are not average, and each has its own strengths. It can be expected that this competition will be very fierce.Of course, what excites him more than winning an award is seeing Sheng Huai soon... Ji Congxiao feels that he is almost becoming a love brain now.

The last artist on the red carpet was obviously about to come over, and the host didn't pull them to say more, and let them go.

Ji Congxiao sat down in the dimly lit scene, and couldn't wait to turn his head to search around. Before getting out of the car, Sheng Huai sent him a message, and he had already entered the scene first.

He searched in the dimly lit venue, and suddenly felt something in his heart. He turned his head and looked not far behind diagonally, his heartbeat suddenly became chaotic——

Suit and tie, well-dressed.His hair was pomaded and brushed back, exposing his smooth forehead.A pair of slender gold-rimmed glasses hung on the bridge of the tall nose, covering the long and narrow eyes.

Sheng Huai was leaning leisurely on the seat, propped his chin, and looked at him with a smile.

Ji Congxiao only felt his face heat up, so he turned around and touched his face guiltily.

Han Lue sat next to him, looked at him strangely, then looked aside, and saw his friend's provocative posture at a glance, without any concealment, and waved his hands shamelessly when he saw himself!

Han Lue turned around blankly, folded his arms, and kicked over the bowl of dog food indifferently.

asshole!Didn't know he was single!Cut off the relationship for an hour first!
