pure white crown

In the reception after the awards, the clothes were fragrant and the temples were full, and the cups were intertwined.

Jiang Xing stood in a corner of the hall, which was similar to the corner he had attended the Golden Bauhinia Awards last time.The last time he hid in such a corner, as if he had been separated from the excitement, he quietly watched Lu Yunkai leave the banquet venue in secret—but today he was not so lucky.

This rather bleak corner was surrounded by stars at the moment, Jiang Xingyan, who was standing in the center, smiled at Yan Yan, and could chat with everyone.

This place, which was originally a bit remote, is indeed star-studded at this time, but it is not only star-studded.

One of the unattractive middle-aged men with a slightly fat body raised his glass to Jiang Xing and said with a smile: "Over the years, the domestic entertainment industry has finally figured out one or two stars who are also famous abroad. You came back, I don't know When will Lu Yunkai come back to promote the filming."

Jiang Xing just smiled and didn't answer.

Of course, the people present were all good people, and it was purely unintentional to let out one or two inappropriate words when the wine was hot. Everyone talked and laughed, and quickly covered up this slip of the tongue.

When the game was over, Jiang Xing returned to the hotel, looked at the many new numbers in his mobile phone, and put away the mobile phone with satisfaction, but he was not in a hurry for the next move, but called the investment and financial management company that specially worked for him. division.

"Boss, hello." The other party's voice came from the phone.

"I asked you to buy the scattered shares of Zhongxing, how did you receive it?" Jiang Xing asked.

"It's almost finished. Now we own 11.2% of the equity." The investor said, he paused, and asked, "The next step is the boss's plan... With this huge amount of stock in his hands, I'm afraid there won't be much appreciation. space."

"Just received it." Jiang Xing didn't care about the other party's last words, and hung up the phone after confirming it, and dialed another number that had been prepared long ago.He didn't exchange any pleasantries. As soon as the call was connected, he directly said to the person on the other side: "The equity has been acquired, and Zhongxing still needs you to deal with it. My request is the same as before. During this period of time, you use The equity in my hand will try to muddy the water of the stars, and then dig out the inside story of the private matchmaking transactions among the stars. After the matter is completed, I will have another reward."

When the phone call was also hung up, Jiang Xing let out a slight breath.

The matter of collecting the shares of the stars has been going on for a whole year. It can be said that Lu Yunkai started preparing for it when his father had an accident.

Now that the scattered shares in the market have been collected enough to affect the structure of the board of directors of the stars, the most critical step has been successful, so the next step should also officially start...

The night of the Golden Olive's awards ceremony is over.Early the next morning, Jiang Xing and Yu Kexin returned to the set to continue working.

At the end of November, the global publicity of "Jack the Puppet" came to an end temporarily, and Lu Yunkai officially announced the time of his return to China.On the first day of returning to China, fans from all over the country surrounded the airport, seriously affecting the normal travel of other passengers. In the end, even the nearby police were mobilized to barely maintain order at the scene.

After "Jack the Puppet" was released, such situations emerged one after another in all countries in the world, and even such a situation was considered harmonious and stable for Lu Yunkai. Fanatic fans or fanatic blacks chasing and attacking him and even touching him into his bedroom were also a problem. Nothing particularly strange.

He didn't express much expression, and he didn't make any false remarks or pause for fans who came to see him. He wore a pair of sunglasses from the beginning to the end, and got into the car and left under the escort of the bodyguards around him.

The fans in front of the airport finally gradually dispersed after Lu Yunkai left. Some fans who came from far away complained on their own network that Lu Yunkai left without looking at the fans.

As a result, the words were posted on the Internet, and some people took what Lu Yunkai had said on the scarves and Twitter at home and abroad: "All my activities to meet fans will be announced. Please like me if you like me. Don't interfere with other people's normal life."

After this sentence was posted, before the fans who complained came to their senses, another fan commented calmly: "It's better to be the one from my family. It took an extra two hours to hold a meeting, and many people who went there at that time saw the real person and took photos."

Is there any doubt about who said this?

Neither Jiang Fan nor Lu Fan had any doubts, so it didn't take a minute for them to pinch out the darkness!

The sky has become dim, one after another the stars drilled out from the clouds, scattered on the velvet-like dark blue sky, their brilliance and longevity are incomparable to the diamond ring on the ring, which represents eternity of.

In the upper and lower houses that Jiang Xing once bought, Lu Yunkai had long since lost the sunglasses that were on his face during the day, and he no longer had the cold and arrogant look in front of fans.

He looked up and down the small passage with the upper and lower houses with interest, first stepped on the stairs to observe the pattern above, then suddenly jumped down towards Jiang Xing's position, and was easily caught by the other party. After putting it down, he sat down contentedly on the beauty chair in front of the French window.

Of course, the plain curtains were pulled up early, Lu Yunkai opened the middle of the curtains, glanced at the Wanjia lights outside, then put down the curtains, then turned to look at Jiang Xing: "I want to give me a surprise ?"

Jiang Xing knew that Lu Yunkai was talking about when he first brought him here: "Yes."

"I didn't realize it at the time..." Lu Yunkai looked at Jiang Xing, "I returned the key to you later."

"I want to ask why I didn't just say what I felt at the time?" Jiang Xing teased Lu Yunkai, "Now we have something we can't talk about?"

As soon as the words fell, the two of them said "uh" in their hearts at the same time, saying that there are really some things that are not easy to talk about...

Jiang Xing himself thought of 0021, secretly thinking that such things should be kept secret; Lu Yunkai thought of his pseudonym in the forum, he was elated when he wrote it, but when he thought about what happened if Jiang Xing found out one day, That's a shame Play...

With such an idea, the two of them suddenly felt a little unnatural, and at the same time they diverged from the topic in a particularly tacit understanding.

Lu Yunkai continued the topic just now and asked: "Then how did you feel at the beginning?"

"It's a little melancholy." Jiang Xing said.

Lu Yunkai waited for Jiang Xing's next words.

But Jiang Xing had already finished speaking.

The two looked at each other for a while, and Lu Yunkai was dissatisfied: "That's it? Didn't you toss and turn and scratch your heart and lungs for three or two days?" He felt that his requirements were not high!

Jiang Xing laughed.

He said sharply: "That is unwillingness, not love."

Lu Yunkai who was lying down sat up again.

While talking to Lu Yunkai, Jiang Xing was also using the computer to communicate with other people. He didn't particularly avoid Lu Yunkai, and he could see his computer screen from the angle where Lu Yunkai was.

But Lu Yunkai glanced sideways, and saw that Jiang Xing and the other party were talking about stocks or investing, things that he didn't understand, so he lost interest at all, and only leaned closer to Jiang Xing, his eyes burning like a flame hidden in his eyes, He said, "So—now?"

Jiang Xing has been talking with the two people with two purposes.He also didn't really care about his own investment. Now that he saw the unmistakable enthusiasm and invitation in Lu Yunkai's eyes, he couldn't help but catch his breath.

The people who contacted him with the computer were still waiting for his reply, Jiang Xing replied casually with "you can figure it out" and then closed the computer.

He walked up to the recliner where Lu Yunkai was sitting, hugged Lu Yunkai and let him sit on his body with his legs apart.

This gesture made Lu Yunkai laugh out loud.

Jiang Xing leaned forward and kissed the laughing lips of the other party. He used his tongue to hook the other party's tongue. After entanglement inside and out, he let go of the hand that pressed Lu Yunkai's head, and said with a joke: "Now it's time Want to return my key? Aren't you comfortable enough to do it at night?"

Lu Yunkai couldn't help smiling. He rubbed the other person's body with small movements, and said at the same time, "Don't be so obscene! You are no longer the same as Brother Jiang I know!"

Jiang Xing turned his head and kissed the other side's neck.This is a bit of skin under Lu Yunkai's earlobe. When Jiang Xing kissed him, Lu Yunkai's whole body trembled.

"I think you're quite comfortable..."

"It's really comfortable." Lu Yunkai admitted.

"Then return the key?" Jiang Xing turned over and pushed Lu Yunkai down on the chair.

"Look," Lu Yun laughed intermittently, "For the sake of being so comfortable—" He took a sharp breath, because Jiang Xing put his hand into his body, "I can't pay it back—"

The shimmering light from the gap in the curtains was extinguished at some point.

It was a good night.

The filming of "Old House" was officially completed at the end of the year. Lu Yunkai, who was staying at home, originally thought that Jiang Xing would go back to England after filming the film to catch up with another play before the Chinese New Year, but it was beyond his expectation. Uncharacteristically, he pushed a few film contracts from abroad and stayed in China, but he was not in a hurry to continue acting in China. Looking at the posture, he had the idea of ​​taking a vacation in China during the Chinese New Year.

Lu Yunkai couldn't figure out Jiang Xing's plan, but he was an otaku when he wasn't filming, so it didn't matter what Jiang Xing's plan was - anyway, the other party had more time to spend with him when he wasn't filming.

It's just that the days when the two of them rested together, played games and watched TV were not long after all. In January, when the nominations for this year's Oscars came out, Lu Yunkai's "Jack the Puppet" was indeed on the list. It was shortlisted for a total of nine Oscar nominations. Lu Yunkai must return to the United States at this time to compete for victory at the Oscars ceremony this month.

The itinerary had already been set, and Lu Yunkai didn't delay too much, and finally had a sweet night with Jiang Xing, and sneaked out of this community like a thief to take a plane to the United States.

Jiang Xing didn't go to the airport to see Lu Yunkai off, but just three hours after Lu Yunkai left, Jiang Xing, who had nothing to do, came to Yu Kexin to continue studying and filming, and heard that Lu Yunkai was recognized by fans at the airport, and was so blocked that he almost couldn't get on the plane news.

For such a result, he could only shake his head, and then sent a message to the other party on his mobile phone: "Aren't you hurt?"

At this time, Lu Yunkai was already on the plane, so there must be no way to reply, Jiang Xing didn't care, he put away his phone and continued to edit movies with Yu Kexin, helping Yu Kexin while studying.

When the day's editing work was over, Jiang Xing dialed the cell phone number he had dialed before on the way back.

When the call was connected, he did not talk nonsense as usual, and asked directly:

"what's the result?"

The person on the other end of the phone spoke, it was a pretty female voice, she lazily said: "Everything is in the plan, and they agreed to the proposal you insisted on me in order to fight for the equity. How long will you be able to see an underage super show. But what are your plans? Even if the stars are really in a mess, there will be no harm to the various shareholders in the stars. They all have other properties outside, The stars are just a part of their large property. And according to my opinion, there are so many people on the board of directors of the stars, none of them has the rank of the current chairman Li Shenhai. Li Shenhai's position."

Jiang Xing was noncommittal, he said: "It's good that everything goes well."

The phone hangs up.

The road ahead was illuminated by lights on both sides.

The first step and the second step are all ready.

All that was left was to wait for the upcoming third step—if he remembered correctly, this step would come soon.

This year's Spring Festival is earlier than usual, and it will be New Year's Eve at the end of January.

Not long after Lu Yunkai left China for the United States, that is, about a week before the Chinese New Year, the public security department suddenly issued a document to rectify the atmosphere in the entertainment industry. , and its artists were suspected of drug abuse, becoming the first key target in the entertainment industry after the document was issued.

In just one day, Zhongxing was ordered to suspend business, and its chairman Li Shenhai was taken away for investigation.

Not long after that, the seven-day spring break came, and all departments were on vacation. After the accident, the forces working for Li Shenhai and the stars had to stop their activities.

In March, the Academy Awards ceremony is held in the United States.

Jiang Xing went to participate.

In the resplendent and star-studded venue, one after another statuettes were awarded to the winners. When it was the turn of the best actor, Jiang Xing unconsciously held his breath following the music and the movements of the award presenters on stage.

Until the final result was announced with the starlight falling, when Lu Yunkai's name appeared in the mouth of the award presenter, and spread throughout the venue and even the world through the loudspeaker equipment——

Only then did Jiang Xing realize that he had been holding his breath for a long time, so long that he felt dizzy.

He took a sip of the wine from the glass on the table with a somewhat unnatural posture, while staring closely at Lu Yunkai who walked up to the awarding platform.

The statuette was presented to Lu Yunkai by the presenter.

Lu Yunkai lowered his head and looked at the trophy in his hand. Under the focus of the lights, he had the same expression of excitement and surprise as other award presenters, but soon, as his eyes swept around the field, The excitement and surprise on his face subsided, and his expression became particularly gentle.

He held up the trophy and said in Chinese:

"...the only thing I want to say is thank you to the one I love, he has accompanied me through everything."

Lu Yunkai lowered his head and kissed the trophy.

Just like Jiang Xing did back then.

Jiang Xing who was sitting at the bottom knew everything Lu Yunkai said and did.

Along with the crowd, he dedicated applause to Lu Yunkai who walked off the stage.

He looked at this man who was focused by the eyes of the world and loved by the people of the world, and he felt unparalleled pride and satisfaction in his heart.

Lu Yunkai belongs to the world in front of the stage, but behind the stage, he belongs to him and only to him.

Feelings like these—proud, fulfilled, elated, happy—can never be let go.

After the awards ceremony was over, Jiang Xing and Lu Yunkai parted ways and quietly returned to China.

They came to the street where the stars had been.

Lu Yunkai had heard about Zhongxing when he was abroad. He is now standing in front of the Zhongxing Building, looking at the place where people come and go in the past, only a big lock is left to lock the glass door. I left, leaving only a colorful leaflet, which fell alone on the once bright tiles.

This is the end of the once mighty stars.

Chairman Li Shenhai, who once thought he was strategizing, must not have predicted his own ending similar to the stars.

Lu Yunkai felt a sense of melancholy.

He asked Jiang Xing: "Will Li Shenhai come out again?"

"I think he will be in prison for at least ten years." Jiang Xing replied.

"Enough." Lu Yunkai said.

He held Jiang Xing's hand, turned around and left with him.

He didn't know Jiang Xing's role in the downfall of the stars. Jiang Xing told Lu Yunkai about the stars, but he didn't specifically say that he played a role in it.

It's not deliberately concealing, but there is no need to specifically mention it.

Whether Lu Yunkai knew it or Lu Yunkai didn't know it, these things can no longer affect the relationship between them.

Two people wearing masks with their collars turned up high to cover their noses mixed into the crowd.

Not far from them, a black Audi car parked opposite the stars rolled down the window. The person sitting in the passenger seat had the same sharp beauty as Lu Yunkai, but he looked much colder and more arrogant up.

He casually glanced at the opposite building, and said to the person in the driver's seat: "What are you doing here when you have nothing to do? I remember you are not interested in these little stars?"

"The case of Zhongxing is a bit strange, it seems that someone set them up to get involved." The person in the driver's seat said.

"What's so strange about this?" The tone of the person who spoke at the beginning was extremely contemptuous.

"...Forget it, it's really not a big deal." The person in the driver's seat lowered his brows for a moment, pulled on the handbrake, and drove away slowly.

From the open window of the car, a few sweet words lingered with the spring breeze: "Xiao Zhou, what shall we have for dinner? How about the newly opened restaurant last time?"

"eat you."
