alternate performance

The sound of fireworks setting off resounded in the middle of the night. They were thrown high into the sky again and again, and they were pushed to a gorgeous climax before they were extinguished.

It is the light red floating on the cold white, the dots of yellow under the dim yellow, and the darkness after everything is calm.

The notice pasted on the bed stated that the next day's assembly time for the show was set at [-]:[-] in the morning. Gu Congran leaned on the bed and kissed Xu Shenhe's eyelids.

The hands of the two were clasped on the quilt. Gu Congran took a photo of his hands holding each other tightly with Xu Chenhe's mobile phone turned on, and posted a new update on his Weibo account, with the words: "Another year."

The next morning, Xu Chenhe woke up on time according to his biological clock. He straightened his clothes in front of the mirror, touched the red marks on his neck, and took a box of concealer to apply on them.

Gu Congran bought him breakfast, grabbed a cup of soy milk and brought it to his mouth for him to sip: "Don't bother covering it up, don't you still want to wear ancient clothes and long hair?"

It took Xu Chenhe a long time to make the skin on his neck look the same. He put down the concealer and adjusted his clothes, took the soy milk in Gu Congran's hand, and said sullenly: "This film is about time travel, and today it should be done." to the modern scene."

He didn't complain about Gu Congran, what he blamed was himself who lost his mind because of the other party's plausible confession.On the other hand, Gu Congran rarely took care of his feelings last night, patiently expanded and comforted kisses, every time his strength lost balance, he had to stop and ask him if it hurts, causing him to quietly ignite that cluster of books in the sweaty hug. A flame that should be extinguished.

The crew does not have a holiday during the Spring Festival, and everyone in the crew has been tasked to finish filming the scenes in the small town before the beginning of spring, and then transfer to foreign countries to shoot the big scenes in the film, such as the car chase scene and the explosion scene.

Compared with the previous work in Rongjing Town, this kind of work intensity has undergone earth-shaking changes. Xu Chenhe went from the hardships at the beginning to the addiction later. Ever since he knew the relationship between Jiang Hua and himself, he no longer has every step in the entertainment circle. Regret - of course, only limited to work.

Facing Gu Congran, Xu Chenhe couldn't let himself enjoy this relationship.It was as if he had snatched something that belonged to someone else, and he felt guilty every minute of the monopoly.

The secret has been hidden for a long time, and it is always suffering in front of those who don't know. Xu Chenhe worried that this state would affect the filming, so he called Zhu Huiting when he was free.

"It's not wrong to like him, don't define your feelings as sins," Zhu Huiting said, "Jiang Hua must have chosen to give up everything he had in this world before making the decision to commit suicide, you didn't grabbing."

"I'm worried about Gu Congran." Xu Chenhe squatted by the stream holding his mobile phone, "If one day, the relationship between me and Jiang Hua can't be hidden, I'm afraid things will develop to a point where I can't control it."

The weather has shown signs of warming up in recent days, but due to the openness of the stream and the cold air on the water surface, the wind blowing in front of him is still very cold, and Xu Chenhe's cheeks and hands were so cold that he almost lost consciousness.

Especially after hearing Huihui Zhu's straightforward questions.

"Xu Chenhe, what is the worst plan you have made?"

He squeezed the phone tightly, and the answer has been circling in his heart countless times: "If only he knows, I will leave him. If the public finds out, I can take all the responsibility. But if he collapses because of the truth... I don't know How to help him."

There was a long silence on the phone, and Zhu Huiting sighed helplessly: "Fool, why don't you worry about yourself more?"

The grass moved slightly behind him, Xu Chenhe put away his phone, stood up and turned around.Gu Congran spread the padded jacket hanging on his forearm over him, and took him by the hand: "Didn't you mean to go to the bathroom, why are you here?"

Xu Chenhe calmly let Gu Congran's warm palm wrap his hand, and said, "I chatted with Brother Zhu on the phone for a while."

"You are still in the group, and he has arranged work for you again?" Gu Congran led him forward, "Tell him to arrange for other artists, don't just care about favoring you."

Last spring's "Tracking Thousands of Faces" has finally been finalized, and it is expected to be broadcast on the stars during the Golden Week in May this year.The work in the first half of the year mainly revolves around the road show promotion of "Tracking Thousands of Faces" and related variety shows, which is another new challenge for Xu Chenhe.

"Jiang Hua" has been away from the entertainment industry for three years. "Tracking Thousands of Faces" is his first work in the official sense after his return. After the broadcast, the audience's feedback will definitely directly determine whether "Jiang Hua" has a breakthrough in acting skills, which in turn will affect the audience. Expectations for follow-up works.

Xu Chenhe was under pressure, but also had expectations. He told Gu Congran, who was closest to him, about this matter all day long, but the other party rubbed his face: "I've watched all your plays, it's okay."

The town is two hours' drive away from the central city, but Gu Congran has never returned home once. He stays around Xu Chenhe on the set every day, almost taking away Fang Rui's job as an assistant.

He chanted Jiang Hua's name less and less in front of Xu Chenhe, but sometimes he would look at Xu Chenhe in a daze, and he became relieved after accepting the thoughts he had privately identified in his heart.

Some things may just be repeated according to the same setting and different trajectories.

At the end of the holiday, the scenes of "Surprise Notes" in the small town are gradually full, and the date of going abroad for filming is getting closer.

At Xuanran Entertainment, which is hundreds of kilometers away, Zhou Tezhu started work two days earlier than the boss. After sorting out the documents submitted by various departments, he set a new schedule for the boss, and urged Gu Congran to come to work as soon as possible during the teleconference.

When Gu Congran was in a meeting, Xu Chenhe was also listening. The small dining table on the RV was occupied by Gu Congran's laptop and notepad. Xu Chenhe curled up beside Gu Congran, holding the script and reciting his lines.Hearing that the meeting was over, he raised his head and tapped the brow of the other party with the cap of his pen: "Don't frown, go back."

"How long do you want to stay there?" Gu Congran closed the computer, "Can it be completed in a month?"

Xu Chenhe stared at the script: "Dream, I'm not playing tricks."

In mid-February, the crew chartered a plane to fly abroad. Xu Chenhe and Gu Congran parted ways at the airport. Before leaving, Gu Congran hung a necklace around Xu Chenhe's neck. The pendant was a bird inlaid with fine blue diamonds: " It may not be able to dive, but I will, and I can teach you when you come back from filming."

There were many people in the waiting room, and Xu Chenhe felt embarrassed in the public: "We'll talk about it when we come back."

Under the blue sky, the plane dragged a line of white clouds.Gu Congran returned to the parking lot to pick up the car, went home and changed his clothes, and then went straight to the company to deal with the work for the next year.

Called the high-level meeting for an afternoon, took the elevator back to the 28th floor, Zhu Huiting was waiting for him in the reception room.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, he knew who had come in. Zhu Huiting didn't look back, and dragged the tablet and said nonchalantly: "You're pretty good."

Gu Congran went to the tea room next door and poured two glasses of water, gave one to the other party, and cleared his throat with another two sips: "Speak human."

"Keep pretending," Zhu Huiting turned off the tablet, "Didn't you post Xu Shenhe's post during the New Year's Eve?"

"What's wrong with posting a post?" Gu Congran leaned on the armrest of the sofa, "There are so many rumors about my relationship with him that I'm not in good terms. I'm trying to consolidate the image between the two of them in the eyes of the general public."

"Sounds good," Zhu Huiting pushed Gu Congran's knee with the corner of the tablet, "That photo, after the fact?"

"Yes." Gu Congran admitted.

He likes Xu Chenhe hugging his waist to meet him, likes Xu Chenhe hugging his legs and covering his eyes, like Xu Chenhe blushing and humming softly in his ear.That time was really beautiful, as long as he didn't mention Jiang Hua's name, Xu Chenhe would put his arms around his neck and express his true heart, saying that he wanted to touch starfish at the bottom of the sea with him, or climb to the top of the mountain to watch the sunset.

Someone stabbed her arm hard, and the setting sun in front of her eyes became a ceiling lamp.Gu Congran went back with his elbow and pestle: "Speak directly if you have something to say."

"Just be yourself," Zhu Huiting put the cup on the table and tapped his buddy's chest sideways with his knuckles, "Do you have any heart here? Do you know that Xu Chenhe likes you?"

"I know," Gu Congran admitted frankly, "I like him too."

"Fart!" Zhu Huiting flicked the ring on Gu Congran's ring finger, "Gu Congran, please be sober, Xu Shenhe is the only one who chooses to trust you over and over again, is it interesting for you to play with his feelings like this?"

The two had been arguing over this issue over and over again. Gu Congran held his breath and waved Zhu Huiting's hand away: "I know that you won't believe what I said. Didn't you realize that Xu Chenhe's name is related to Jiang Hua? ?”

"No," Zhu Huiting replied coldly, "Xu Chenhe is Xu Chenhe, and Jiang Hua is Jiang Hua."

"Then how do you explain that Xu Chenhe's name is Jiang Hua's suicide form? How do you explain the fact that they look the same?" Gu Congran said, "I don't deny the existence of Shen He, but I think he himself is to continue Jiang He appeared from the life of painting, whether it is soul travel or rebirth, there must be a shadow of Jiang Hua in him."

Having seen what Xu Jinyun said to his own son, and hearing Gu Congran comment on Xu Chenhe's existence, Zhu Huiting let out a laugh from his throat, and felt that Xu Chenhe had been burdened since he was taken away from Rongjing Town. A burden.

"It's egoism for you to impose your own views on Xu Chenhe," Zhu Huiting clenched his hands hanging on his knees into fists, "He is an independent individual, who the hell is he living for? You just say You like Xu Chenhe, rather than adding the filter of Jiang Hua, I feel better, but what do you think of him now?"

Gu Congran felt a dull pain in his temple. The thoughts he had accepted these days became self-doubt after being criticized by his friends. He clearly witnessed Jiang Hua being swept away by the waves, so when he faced Xu Chenhe, he was sincere. Who is the throbbing for?

A punch hit his shoulder hard, and Gu Congran stuck his back against the sofa, and Zhu Huiting twisted his clothes. The opponent's clenched fist waved in front of his eyes and stopped abruptly: "Brother, I'll ask you, what if Jiang The painting is back, what will Xu Chenhe do?"
