self-awareness

On June 6, "Wu Huang" was officially screened in major theaters across the country, and the response was unprecedented.The box office soared all the way, surpassing the record set by Li Mingchuan's last movie "Fire Cloud", and staged a scene of self-transcendence.

Through this film, Li Mingchuan ushered in another small breakthrough in his acting career. Many film critics predicted that this work is expected to hit the awards of international film festivals. Shake his position.

Although Ye Tang failed to show off his acting skills in "The Emperor of Wu", he was not very frustrated and quickly devoted himself to his new job.

One day after the movie was released one month, Gu Biao sent a list of addresses, saying that there was a dinner tonight, and the boss of a certain listed company would come. He was also one of the funders of "Wuhuang", and hoped that Ye Tang could be there.Ye Tang knew that this kind of dinner was probably related to work. Gu Biao had a lot of resources in the circle, and it was also related to her being able to get along well. Walking in the entertainment circle, such occasions must be indispensable. After Ye Tang finished his work that day, he asked the dinner party place to go.

The dinner was held in a private club. The Chinese-style courtyard was very secluded. Ye Tang was led by the waiter, through the winding corridors, and finally came to a private room named "Yazhu".

"Come inside, sir." The waiter opened the door for Ye Tang.

There was only one person sitting at the table in the "Yazhu" private room, and when he saw Ye Tang appearing, he got up politely.

The waiter closed the door behind Ye Tang, and the people in the room came forward and said, "Hi, I'm Qin Yan."

Ye Tang and Qin Yan shook hands symbolically, "Hello, Mr. Qin."

"I met you once before, I don't know if Mr. Ye still remembers it?" Qin Yan chatted.

Ye Tang was most afraid of such a question. He really couldn't remember where he had met this person, but the other person seemed to be very sure about their meeting, so he could only smile apologetically, "I'm sorry, Qin total."

Qin Yan didn't care, and said generously: "It doesn't matter, we were too hasty when we met, and I couldn't introduce myself properly. I am Tan Chen's friend, and I happened to meet you once at the party in Jingfu last time. But then It's not the first time I've seen you. I've been to the set of "Wu Huang" before. You were filming at the time, so I didn't bother you. I'm old friends with you, Mr. Gu. This time I asked her to help me out. I'm busy, I want to meet you."

Qin Yan opened the chair for Ye Tang gracefully. When Ye Tang sat down, he glanced at the time. He should not have arrived early. Could it be that all the people attending the dinner party were collectively late?Gu Biao, who was always punctual, did not show up.

Qin Yan told the waiter in the room that the food could be served, and then said to Ye Tang: "I invite you to dinner alone tonight, I hope you don't think it's too abrupt."

Ye Tang was taken aback for a moment, but he really didn't expect that Qin Yan specially asked him to meet alone.

Qin Yan asked casually: "Do you still like the flowers you sent?"

Ye Tang was quite surprised, "Is it Mr. Qin who has been sending flowers to the company?"

Qin Yan smiled, "Just call me Qin Yan, did I scare you? You seem surprised?"

Ye Tang: "You haven't left a name, I thought it was..."

"Thought it was a gift from a fan? I'm also your fan. I said it when we met last time. I'm your fan. It's not a polite word."

Ye Tang recalled that the people in the company still guessed that the flowers came from a lady who was too rich. If they knew that it was given by this big man in front of him, he didn't know how they would feel.

"Thank you. It cost you money."

After several cold dishes were served on the table, Qin Yan raised his wine glass and touched Ye Tang in the air, "I have always hoped to have the opportunity to meet you. I am very happy to meet you today."

Ye Tang smiled politely, and dealt with it professionally as if the dinner was his job.

"Is Mr. Ye single now?" Qin Yan asked directly.

Ye Tang didn't want to talk too much about her *, so she responded briefly.

"Ye Tang, can I call you Ye Tang directly?" Qin Yan asked, seeing Ye Tang nodded, and continued: "Can I pursue you, Ye Tang?"

Ye Tang was startled, and stopped the movement of his hands, "...What do you mean by that?"

Qin Yan looked directly into Ye Tang's eyes, and said without hesitation: "It means that I am the same kind of person as you, you are very attractive to me, and my affection for you is beyond the scope of being a normal friend. I want to pursue you."

Ye Tang: "..."

Qin Yan: "I'm sorry, I may be too straightforward. I have developed a habit at the negotiating table, and I will not say tactful words. Didn't I offend you?"

Ye Tang looked at Qin Yan's calm expression all the time, how could there be any apologetic expression in that calm smile?

Although Ye Tang didn't deliberately keep his sexual orientation secret, but for so many years, as long as he didn't say anything, few people would be able to notice that he was gay. Only those who were close to him knew about it. After all, as a public figure , these topics are still very sensitive, and how did Qin Yan see it?

Is there really such a thing as a perception radar?But this thing doesn't work for him. Taking Qin Yan as an example, if Qin Yan didn't confess himself, he would never find out that such a mature man with a typical elite appearance turned out to be a comrade, and he would never go in this direction think.

He had never met someone as straightforward as Qin Yan, but he didn't know how to deal with it. The dishes were not even served, so he was already thinking about whether to leave the table early.

"You seem surprised?" Qin Yan asked with a smile in his eyes.

"..." Surprise is a normal reaction at this time, right?

"Don't tell me you can't feel it?"

"I... really didn't expect it." Ye Tang said ashamedly.

To him, Qin Yan was just a man he met by chance, and he really didn't spend energy paying attention to the other party's behavior.Qin Yan's straight-forward way of confession also made him a little overwhelmed. Ye Tang tried hard not to show the shock in his heart, but his face was already a little unnatural.

Qin Yan, however, seemed to enjoy the feeling of taking the absolute initiative, and said coolly: "Then it was useless for me to discharge you before?"

"Boss Qin, I..." Ye Tang paused, and wanted to change the subject, but didn't know what to say, and was extremely embarrassed for a while.

Qin Yan laughed generously a few times, Ye Tang's ears were red, he thought it was really interesting to pretend to be calm, this person put on an old-fashioned look when he was in danger, but he was obviously strong on the outside but capable on the inside, Very young.

"Don't be pressured. I just have a crush on you and want to pursue you. I really appreciate you and hope to become lovers with you."

The tips of Ye Tang's ears turned even redder, and Qin Yan's old face was almost unbearable when he teased him with just a few words.

"How do you know I'm... Is it obvious?" Ye Tang organized his words and asked, he was really not used to discussing his own sex with such an unfamiliar person.

Qin Yan wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin, "Are you wondering how I know your orientation?"

"Obvious, not obvious." Qin Yan explained: "Not obvious, because you usually behave like a normal straight man. Obviously, as long as you pay attention to the way you look at Li Mingchuan, you can tell. I’ve seen how you interact on set.”

Ye Tang felt like being petrified instantly, the blood in his body froze.

He never realized the difference in the way he looked at Li Mingchuan. He thought he was hiding it well, but he was still discovered.

Qin Yan said slowly: "You like Li Mingchuan."

Qin Yan said this in an affirmative tone, he was stating a fact without any doubt.

Ye Tang suddenly had the urge to run away, and his shady thoughts were actually pointed out face to face by a person he had only met a few times, he felt ashamed.

Before Ye Tang could speak, Qin Yan said, "Don't worry, I won't mention this matter to others. I guess you don't intend to pursue Li Mingchuan publicly, right?"

Ye Tang felt like a stick in his throat. Although Shi Ye didn't know the relationship between himself and Li Mingchuan, he analyzed their current situation closely. He really didn't have the qualifications to pursue Li Mingchuan. His previous attempts had already made him lose all his strength. Now he doesn't intend to do more in vain.

"Ye Tang, if Li Mingchuan can't see your goodness, then he really isn't suitable for you. It's the right choice for you not to waste your time on him."

Ye Tang was speechless, and politely refused as much as possible: "Boss Qin, I thank you for your...favor towards me, but I have no plans for this right now."

"Love does not require planning," Qin Yan directly denied Ye Tang's words, with a sly smile in his eyes, but a strong tone in his mouth: "I will make you fall in love with me, Ye Tang."

Ever since Qin Yan officially confessed his love to Ye Tang, he really started to pursue Ye Tang.

However, Qin Yan's pursuit is not offensive. On the contrary, he has a good grasp of the scale - just the right amount of care, occasional surprises, and occasionally sends some funny messages to make people laugh... and the bold and straightforward confession On the contrary, Qin Yan's pursuit is never rash, he is slowly opening Ye Tang's heart in a most comfortable way and rhythm.

Ye Tang has to admit that the feeling of being pursued by Qin Yan is not bad. Qin Yan is indeed very skillful in this area. I am afraid that this has something to do with his comprehensive IQ. People who can dominate the business world in the workplace are not good at love. Very low, under Qin Yan's gentle offensive, Ye Tang has unconsciously accepted the fact that there is such a role in his life.

After further understanding, Ye Tang found out that Qin Yan had actually been married for a while. He also has a 7-year-old son who has been raised by his ex-wife. But perhaps it is because of his marriage experience that Qin Yan always knows how to be more considerate and respectful. The other party in the relationship is very different from the young people who are always self-centered.

Once, Ye Tang temporarily extended the shooting time due to work, and postponed the time to meet Qin Yan. Qin Yan really waited for him in the restaurant for two hours. When Ye Tang arrived at the restaurant, Qin Yan was meeting with his secretary Just at the dining table, dealing with the work at hand, Ye Tang knew that Qin Yan was very busy at work, and it was not easy to find time to meet him, but Qin Yan did not blame him at all, on the contrary, he was very considerate of his work, and even willing Share his negativity.

After getting along for a while, Ye Tang also found that Qin Yan was indeed a very attractive man. Qin Yan was well-informed and humorous. The two of them had the same views on people and things. In harmony, every conversation with Qin Yan is even pleasant.

The time spent with Qin Yan made Ye Tang understand that liking someone and running a relationship does not require bursting ecstasy and pain. Those steady, bit by bit goodwill and warmth can also maintain a relationship The basis is that he has liked Li Mingchuan for so long that he has forgotten what it feels like to start a relationship normally.

Once, a senior stylist who often worked with Ye Tang called mysteriously and asked him if he had gotten rich and had a new love.

The stylist's name is Damai, and she joined a film crew when Ye Tang was still a walk-on. She has a childlike face and huge muscles, and she can be regarded as a celebrity in the gay circle in Beijing.

Ye Tang was quite helpless with Damai's words, but he was also a little alert, "Where did you hear about this?"

Damai chased after him: "Should you tell me first? Qin Yan from Jushi Group! He is handsome and rich, he is a heavenly dish! This is the top peach blossom! How do you know each other?"

"We met at work. He and Cheng Xing have some cooperation projects." Ye Tang vaguely mentioned.

"Ye Tang, I think you should have won this time! You have to seize this opportunity firmly. The Jushi Group is very powerful. If he really wants to praise you, there is definitely something for him to do."

Ye Tang sighed, "You think too much, he doesn't mean that, he just wants to make friends."

"Make a friend? Make a friend who will drive you to a luxurious meal in a luxury car?? My assistant saw you together with my own eyes. It's just a date! Why are you so shy!"

Ye Tang felt that he couldn't argue with anything.

Damai said again: "Ye Tang, I think Mr. Qin really cares about you. I heard this from someone else, who said that Mr. Qin was behind the scenes when you appeared in "Running Crazy". "

Ye Tang: "..."

Ye Tang was thinking about the reliability of the news about Damai. The circle of stylists is sometimes very well-informed. The dressing room is often the best place for gossip in the circle. Which actor is impotent, which singer is a weirdo without makeup, and which female star is pregnant before marriage , and so on, more information than tabloids and magazines.

"That Boss Qin helped you secretly at that time, how can he say he's not interested in you? I think the other party really likes you."

Ye Tang frowned. If what Damai said was true, he never thought that Qin Yan would have been paying attention to him so early on.When he was preparing to shoot "Let's Go", he was experiencing box office hits and his career was at a low point. It stands to reason that with his popularity at the time, he really didn't have the opportunity to be on a high-rated show like "Let's Go".In addition, his agency Xingyu at the time actually basically let go of him. Although he didn't hide him, he was unwilling to waste any resources on him to fight for him. Now that I think about it, the only possibility is, I'm afraid Someone really is working behind his back.

The stylist said again: "Ye Tang, I think your destiny may have really come. After experiencing the slag attack, you will be able to find true love and reach the pinnacle of life. Li Mingchuan is your catastrophe. You should also kick the slag attack now. , towards your happiness!"

Ye Tang raised his forehead, and really didn't want to comment on Damai's remarks that his brain was offline, but now thinking about the past with Li Mingchuan, it seems that it happened a long, long time ago.

He thought, maybe he was really ready to let go of the past and welcome a new beginning.
