pure white crown

The change in relationship with Lu Yunkai did not affect Jiang Xing's daily work.

In fact, except for not calling and sending emails anymore, Jiang Xing did everything the same as before, and because of this, even Chen Liang, who often claimed to be sharp-eyed, found out after a while.

He was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself that he and Zhang Fang had spent all their efforts to express that they wanted to break up the two but it didn't work. How could the two of them break up by themselves when they didn't do anything?Is it really true to the phrase "If you want to plant flowers, the flowers won't bloom, but if you don't want to plant willows and willows to make shade"?

This is not very scientific!

With such thoughts in mind, Chen Liang took a long time to think about it. He didn't ask Jiang Xing this question first, but called Zhang Fang to make a side note.

As it turned out, what happened to Zhang Fang was beyond Chen Liang's expectations, and it only took two months. The person on the other end of the phone hadn't talked about the relationship between Lu Yunkai and Jiang Xing at all, but sighed and complained about the big star It's not easy to be a broker!There are no people inside and outside every minute!

... Is this the rhythm of the main contradiction changing and the original contradiction becoming a secondary contradiction?

Chen Liang thought for a while in silence, then casually perfunctory Zhang Fang, then hung up the phone - as long as Lu Yunkai doesn't get involved with Jiang Xing, who cares whether Lu Yunkai can serve Zhang Fang well or start working!This is not his artist!

But then again, it's not that Lu Yunkai suddenly became famous and then changed his attitude. He has been popular for a long time. The relationship between them was suddenly broken?If it was the latter, then why did Jiang Xing and Lu Yunkai suddenly break up?

With such a bottom line in his heart, Chen Liang was no longer afraid to mention Lu Yunkai in front of Jiang Xing.He quickly took a moment to talk to Jiang Xing about this matter when Jiang Xing arrived at the company, mainly asking about Jiang Xing's current status with Lu Yunkai.

Since they were chatting, the two of them sat by the sofa and made tea.

Jiang Xing was not very surprised that Chen Liang mentioned Lu Yunkai, he pondered for a moment, and said: "...It is he who has such a meaning."

This means that it was Lu Yunkai who proposed to break up!

Chen Liang was a little surprised, this was somewhat out of line with what he guessed, he always thought that Lu Yunkai was in a bad mood because he broke up with Jiang Xing - but maybe the truth is the other way around?Did Lu Yunkai break up with Jiang Xing because he was in a bad mood?

His heart moved slightly, and he swallowed back the recent thoughts about Zhang Fang's opinion on Lu Yunkai that he wanted to chat with later.

He thought to himself: Since everything has been resolved...then there is no need to bring up this topic again, let's do whatever there is, anyway, it's not about Jiang Xing's business.

The thought flashed like this, and Chen Liang casually mentioned other things. The focus was on the editing work of "Sunset", which will end soon, and the promotional matters for the release of "Sunset".But in the end, he still couldn't help asking: "I see that you even prepared the house before, and now that his side is over, you are also over?"

Jiang Xing, who was sitting on the chair, turned his head sideways, looking in deep thought.

Chen Liang's eyes fell on the opponent.

It is afternoon.Sunlight shines through the open green-painted window frame onto the square white tiled floor, pulling thin and long light spots on the floor.

The colorful light spots wander freely in the room, illuminating the tiny particles rising in the air in the room, and also falling on the furniture, people, and Jiang Xing's face.

The light softened his features.

He has handsome features and elegant posture.

But compared with such a relatively peaceful and unobtrusive personal trait, he has a strong sense of presence—or aura—just sitting down.

Chen Liang couldn't help recalling Jiang Xing's appearance when he first started to look up to him and decided to train Jiang Xing.

What impressed me the most was when he played the protagonist of "Little Doctor", he sat alone in the office, spinning a pen quickly and in various ways with one hand.

That was also eye-catching, but at that time, his eyes, and everyone else's eyes, were more attracted by the props in Jiang Xing's hands, and by the role played by Jiang Xing, rather than the current situation—Jiang Xing Xing didn't do anything yet, and everyone's eyes naturally rested on him.

Before he knew it, the artist he was optimistic about had grown to this point.

Jiang Xing said at this time: "Emotions are a matter for both parties, and I respect his choice..." He smiled as he spoke. There was no shadow or injustice in his smile, and it gave people the same feeling as usual, "Emotions and Careers are different, the pursuit of a career can be done by one person, but it is better to have a two-way exchange of feelings.”

Chen Liang: "..."

He stared at Jiang Xing for a long time, and after confirming that Jiang Xing was really not supporting the fat man with a swollen face, he couldn't help but said with emotion: "You seem to be a different kind of scary..."

But that's about it for this topic.

Then there are only two things, one is that Lu Yunkai finished filming abroad and returned to China, and the other is the final editing stage of "Sunset" starring Jiang Xing and participating in the editing.

The minute and hour hands of time are like the two feet of a person, moving forward alternately at a leisurely pace.

The editing of "Sunset" was finally largely completed under the intensive processing of the last two months, and the publicity plan written by the team has also begun to go online. The first one is that Yu Kexin and Jiang Xing will participate in an upcoming movie abroad Festival, kicked off the initial curtain for the promotion of the new movie.

××××××

In May of this year, Palm International Film Festival.

The red carpet was laid out on the open-air avenue, and on both sides were all reporters wearing black suits and white shirts carrying long guns and short cannons, and pointed their cameras precisely at the stars passing by on the red carpet.

Today's sky is a bit cloudy, with a cool breeze, which is one of the most comfortable weather.

Jiang Xing's clothes today are not out of the ordinary as usual when he appears in front of the public, similar to most of the male stars, they are all dressed in black suits and white shirts, the difference is only in details such as cuffs and necklines.But other than that, he still wore a rather distinctive tie with dark blue background and covered with silver stars, which matched perfectly with the moon and sun brooch pinned to his chest.

He and Yu Kexin appeared on the red carpet together. Originally, there were so many people in this film festival, so it was really not easy to meet someone in the middle, but Yu Kexin came this time with a clear purpose of promoting "" In addition to the movie "Sunset", they also searched for Xu Zhongqi with a clear purpose-in fact, in Yu Ke's mind, these two clear purposes can just be drawn as an equal sign, that is, the former is equal to the latter, and the latter represents the former .

So just after walking the red carpet, Yu Kexin used his eyesight and ears to listen to the six directions all the time, completed all the assistants that the boss requested reasonably and unreasonably, got the specific location of Xu Zhongqi, and directly pulled Jiang Xing to kill Xu Zhongqi!

When the two people met each other, Xu Zhongqi couldn't help frowning, but Yu Kexin just smiled!

Just right, all the main characters are here, he and the leading actor of his movie, and the other and the leading actor of the other movie, so there is no need to look for them specially, as soon as we meet this time, everyone will be alive together!

Thinking of this, Yu Kexin stretched out his hand and smiled maliciously at Xu Zhongqi: "Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu, I saw you, but it's easy for me to find you!"

Xu Zhongqi, who is called Mr. Xu: "..."

The same word has different meanings in different people's mouths; if a junior who has just entered the circle called out at this moment, Xu Zhongqi must think it is respect for himself; but the words came from Yu Kexin's mouth When he came out, Xu Zhongqi knew that even if he didn't combine the smile of the other party's crooked mouth, what the other party was thinking must be "this old man is in his seventies and eighties and has no skills, why is he still occupying the position and not making room for me! "

That's right, Yu Kexin is such a middle-aged man with a lingering feeling of being a middle schooler.

Xu Zhongqi, who just passed his 55th birthday last month, shook hands with Yu Kexin calmly, addressed him and said, "Xiao Yu, you are here."

For a person like Yu Kexin, it is absolutely fine for him to call others "Old X" with ill intentions, but if others call him "little X" like a root, then he will immediately become angry Nose... It is precisely because of Yu Kexin's restlessness that Xu Zhongqi is not afraid of arguing with Yu Kexin at all - even if the reporter catches the news, there will always be someone who is less temperamental, LOW and more like a shrew.

The grievances and grievances of the two talented but very different directors will not be mentioned for the time being.

The leading actor standing beside Xu Zhongqi is Lu Yunkai.Although the two did not collaborate on a movie this time, the friendship between Lu Yunkai and Xu Zhongqi is different. For Lu Yunkai, it is precisely because he starred in Xu Zhongqi's movie that he won the best actor in the world, and this has completed his acting career so far. The most critical take-off in the world, to put it a bit bigger, Xu Zhongqi can be said to be Lu Yunkai's mentor and Bole, so in this film festival, the two stand together.

While the two directors were talking, Lu Yunkai and Jiang Xing also stood aside to communicate.

It was Jiang Xing who spoke first, and he greeted Lu Yunkai in a normal way: "How are you doing?"

Today's Lu Yunkai is not wearing the same suit and shirt.

In this film festival, the other party was standing on the red carpet wearing overalls and a shirt.

His overalls are brown with white polka dots, his shirt is iron gray silk, his hairstyle seems to have undergone some changes, most of the hair has been wiped back with hairspray, but there are one or two strands that are as long as a half finger. The hair broke free mischievously and rested lightly on his full forehead.On the whole, this style can be regarded as walking in the forefront of fashion.As for Lu Yunkai's face—it's not an exaggeration to say that no matter what he looks like, even if it's just jeans and a T-shirt, he can still be on the cover of a magazine anyway.

"It's not bad." Lu Yunkai didn't look directly at Jiang Xing when he spoke, his gaze was slanted, and there was no expression on his face, giving people a feeling of indifference.

Jiang Xing let out a "huh" and casually picked up some topics, and when Lu Yunkai responded, he went on to talk and laugh with the other party; if there was no response, he didn't care too much, so he just changed another direction casually.

But in the middle of the conversation, Lu Yunkai suddenly interrupted what Jiang Xing was saying: "Have you... received the courier?"

Jiang Xing was slightly startled: "You mean the key?"

"Correct."

"I received it." Jiang Xing replied.

During the above conversation, Lu Yunkai's eyes couldn't help falling on Jiang Xing's face, especially when he answered "I received it", Lu Yunkai's eyes couldn't help but meet Jiang Xing's eyes.

But the eye-to-eye contact only lasted for a short second.

It was so short that even Jiang Xing, one of the parties involved, felt that the staring at each other was just his own eyesight.

—but of course not.

This short eye contact is enough for Lu Yunkai.

It was enough for him to confirm that Jiang Xing no longer pinned any ambiguous feelings on the bunch of keys at this moment.

Of course Jiang Xing might still give him the key.

But it didn't mean anything anymore - not anything he'd so much hoped for.

Everything is back to square one.

Lu Yunkai thought expressionlessly.

The communication between two people in this small corner did not fail to attract the attention of the reporter. In fact, a domestic reporter actually saw this scene and took several photos from different angles. Some particularly bloody and vulgar TV drama stalks came out of my brain.

For example:

"Looking at the indifferent expressions of the two of them, there must be some grudges in private."

"The most recent contact between the two people in the newspaper was Xue Ying's funeral."

"It's already very strange that Emperor Lu would go to Xue Ying's funeral, but later the media picked up that Emperor Lu had a relationship with Xue Ying, so it's not surprising."

"But why did Jiang Xing appear at Xue Ying's funeral?"

"The two are from different companies, and they weren't friends before. It's clear that they can't get along with each other through business or personal acquaintances, but the media picked up that Jiang Xing helped Xue Ying's mother prepare for the funeral."

"Sure enough, there is only one answer."

"Xue Ying must have had a relationship with Jiang Xing like Lu Yunkai before she was alive!"

"Hehe, it's no wonder that the rival in love is extremely jealous when meeting..."

"So what should I say about the title? "The new generation of young students in China show indifference to the emperor, suspected of having a bad relationship?" ..."

While the reporter was thinking about it, a particularly loud voice suddenly came from the front.

This voice sneered loudly in public, and he said: "The "Widower" directed by Mr. Xu, I think it looks like that! I can say here, my "Sunset" is definitely not bad, and "Widower" can What kind of award, how could "Sunset" not get it?"

Yu Kexin is still sane. He didn't say that "Sunset" will definitely win the award that "The Widower" couldn't get. He is not blindly confident after all. Winning an award at the top can be said to be the top, if you want to go up, this is...

Having said that, he saw Jiang Xing standing next to Lu Yunkai in a blink of an eye, and the singer was not afraid of the height of the stage, he raised his hand and pointed at Jiang Xing, and said directly: "The award for "The Widower" is "Sunset Sun". "There's no reason why you can't get it; whatever prize Lu Yunkai can get, Jiang Xing can get it too!"

Jiang Xing: "..."

He kept his perfect smile in the face of the frantic flashes of light and looming microphones.

Everyone was yelling at him in public, Xu Zhongqi couldn't retreat at this time even if he tried to save face!

So Xu Zhongqi said: "Director Yu looks very confident."

He always knows how to provoke Yu Kexin.

In fact, Yu Kexin doesn't need to provoke him, he will explode as soon as he steps on it...

Yu Kexin really said "hehe": "Of course I am very confident!"

"Then what if you don't win the prize?" Xu Zhongqi asked.

"I call you Grandpa!" Yu Kexin was so resolute without hesitation!

Xu Zhongqi: "..."

Jiang Xing Lu Yunkai: "..."

Reporters: "..."

I have never seen such a real person in the second class in reality, the feeling of shame Play is really...

Xu Zhongqi was still calm, he also smiled "hehe", and replied: "If you win the prize, then I will call you Yu Lao instead." He thought that you would be called old at such a young age... anyway I don't mind.

Yu Kexin doesn't mind either!

At this time, Yu Kexin felt that the victory was within his grasp, and he immediately accepted all kinds of questions from the reporters around him with a happy face, and he did not hide his rhetoric, as if those future awards had already been in his bag——

As one of the protagonists, Jiang Xing's reporters can't compare with Yu Kexin's, but there are indeed many, and they ask the most tricky questions as soon as they come up: "Mr. Jiang, what do you think you will get?" After the release of "Sunset", will you be the next domestic and foreign actor? Will you stand shoulder to shoulder with Mr. Lu? Is Mr. Lu the target you want to challenge recently? For you, is his achievement a peak to climb or a flower that you can surely get? ? What do you think of Teacher Lu?"

Jiang Xing replied calmly: "I am not the one who considers the award. Of course I really hope that the organizing committee can award me the award, but I can't decide this matter. All I can do is try my best to let the No matter what the result is, I have no regrets. As for standing shoulder to shoulder with anyone... I don’t have such an idea. I hope to keep moving forward, and I hope to keep defeating myself. We are all walking on this road, except for doing As competitors, we are also comrades-in-arms who go forward together... The peak has the magnificence of the peak, and the flower has the fragrance of the flower. I hope I can feel it... Teacher Lu is a very good person and a very powerful actor. I like the movies starring Mr. Lu very much, I am—"

"I believe Teacher Jiang will get all the trophies and honors he wants." Lu Yunkai's voice suddenly sounded from the side, interrupting Jiang Xing's last sentence.At first it sounds like there is no problem, but when you think about it carefully, it seems that there are always some unspeakable subtleties.

He was answering the reporter's question, and when answering the question, he was still as expressionless as before, as if the message "I'm not happy" was exuding from all over his body.

After Lu Yunkai finished speaking, he didn't pay much attention to the reporter, but turned to look at Jiang Xing.

The reporters felt that this look was very sharp!They immediately understood, as expected, Lu Yunkai was very dissatisfied with Yu Kexin for comparing Jiang Xing with him!

Then Lu Yunkai walked away, and when he separated the reporters and left, he said a word in Jiang Xing's ear.

The voice of this whisper was very low, even if the reporters were actually around, they couldn't hear clearly, but the two were about the same height. Quickly closed it again and left, the reporter who saw this scene didn't understand!This must be Lu Yunkai talking harshly to Jiang Xing, and it is very likely that the fight will be due to an appointment later!

Of course, no matter whether they make an appointment or not, the reporters couldn’t get the answer from Lu Yunkai, who went straight away. They exchanged ambiguous glances to see which colleague would uncover Jiang Xing’s scar first, and the result was that During this brief eye contact, Yu Kexin's interview was over, so Yu Kexin, just like Lu Yunkai just now, dug Jiang Xing out of the reporter group directly, and brought Jiang Xing with him. They left together, ignoring the rest of the reporters who still had problems, it was so ruthless!

The two stayed away from the group of reporters, and the turmoil caused by Yu Kexin's "rhetoric" just now subsided. After all, it was an international film festival, and most of the actors and actresses dominated the scene. Both Yu Kexin and Jiang Xing could only It is a little transparent.

Yu Kexin asked: "What did Lu Yunkai tell you just now?"

Jiang Xing sweated a little, thinking that the other party is always very shrewd in very strange places... But there is nothing to hide, he said: "It's nothing, just ask me to have a drink together after the film festival is over."

Yu Kexin let out an "oh", and then muttered: "Forget it, it doesn't matter, anyway, whether you win the award or not has nothing to do with your personal relationship..."

Jiang Xing: "..."

The film festival came to an end that evening.

When Jiang Xing got away from the film festival and went back to the hotel to change into more casual clothes, he didn't even need to bring sunglasses, so he went to the place he had made an appointment with Lu Yunkai to find Lu Yunkai.

This is a remote, looking very secluded coffee bar.

Jiang Xing arrived at the destination 10 minutes earlier than the agreed time.When he entered the door, he habitually scanned around, and soon saw Lu Yunkai's figure in a corner by the window.

At night, the lights of such cafes are dimmed. Generally speaking, there is only a small warm yellow table lamp in each booth to illuminate.

This kind of light area like a small round cover seems to be able to illuminate the two people sitting opposite, and it seems to envelop the person in the seat in a new and separate range, so that no one else can see it. able to see clearly.

Although Jiang Xing recognized Lu Yunkai when he glanced over, he didn't see the other party clearly, he only saw the general posture of the other party from a distance.

A little familiar.

But it's strange, this kind of familiarity is quite strange, it doesn't seem to be the feeling that Lu Yunkai gave him before...

Jiang Xing didn't think too much, he quickly approached the small table by the window where Lu Yunkai was.

This is a wooden three-legged round table.There are mottled traces of time on the brown paint surface. Lu Yunkai's hand rests on the table, and there is only half of the water glass in his hand. It seems that he has been sitting down for a while, and he doesn't know when he came here.

Jiang Xing walked quickly to Lu Yunkai's side, and when he bent over to sit down, he asked him, "Have you waited for a long time?"

Lu Yunkai saw Jiang Xing when Jiang Xing came in. His eyes sometimes followed Jiang Xing's journey from the entrance of the cafe to his seat, and sometimes stayed on the piano stage in the middle of the cafe until After Jiang Xing finished speaking, he said slowly: "It's okay, I don't have anything to do, just come over and sit casually."

At this time, maybe because of the dim and soft light, maybe because of the few people around, Lu Yunkai's expression was much softer than when he was at the film festival during the day.

There was a little smile on his face, which looked a bit forced.

But even a little force is better than when he has no expression - when he has no expression, all the sharpness in his facial features is like a sharp sword drawn from its scabbard.

Jiang Xing nodded, and he called the waiter in the cafe to come and order, and when he got the menu, Jiang Xing asked Lu Yunkai: "What do you want to eat?"

"There's nothing I particularly want to eat." Lu Yunkai said.

Jiang Xing nodded, and didn't give in any more, so he ordered two cups of coffee and two desserts that he thought were more interesting—every time he went to a new place, Jiang Xing was always not afraid to taste new food, and once he found For something that suits his appetite, his mood will suddenly improve - at the same time, he will focus more on Lu Yunkai.

The other party didn't change the clothes he wore at the film festival before, it was still a rather retro outfit, but it didn't seem to fit in this small cafe, maybe that's why he had a good face No matter what kind of dress you are in and what position you are in, you can always get into the scene.

The food Jiang Xing ordered was quickly delivered by the waiter.Two cups of coffee were placed in front of Lu Yunkai and Jiang Xing respectively, as well as a share of sugar and milk.

Jiang Xing added milk and sugar according to his own taste, and naturally followed the topic of the day, and asked about Lu Yunkai's previous filming abroad.

Lu Yunkai has been a little unable to concentrate recently.

He spent a lot of effort to control his gaze to stay on Jiang Xing, but the effect was not good.

He always suddenly loses his attention or consciousness, and when he wakes up, his eyes are turned away again, and he is paying attention to something he doesn't know.

He wore a watch on his wrist.

He checks the time on his watch every time.

So he is very clear.I often think that I have worked hard for a long time to concentrate and concentrate, but in fact it is often only a few seconds.

Just in that blink of an eye, his attention was concentrated, and his attention was scattered again; his attention was concentrated again, and his attention was scattered again...

Jiang Xing's hand suddenly covered Lu Yunkai's.

Lu Yunkai was frightened as if he was patted silently from behind at night, and he raised his head to stare at Jiang Xing, because he was so surprised that his neck turned so fast that he was a little bit stretched.

Jiang Xing pressed Lu Yunkai's hand holding the teapot, and with a little force, the spoon Lu Yunkai was holding turned from tilted to upright, and the white fine particles contained in it no longer poured into the black coffee.

"The sugar in the sugar bowl is almost empty by you."

Jiang Xing said.He dug the sugar spoon out of Lu Yunkai's hand and put it back into the sugar bowl.

Lu Yunkai's hand retracted under the table the moment Jiang Xing let go. Under the table, he reached into his pants pocket and took out a cigarette. He wanted to light it, but the hand holding the cigarette just lifted his hand. After crossing the edge of the table, he put it down again by himself, and casually threw the cigarette in his finger into the corner of the cafe against the wall.

Jiang Xing saw this little move.

At this time, Jiang Xing stared at Lu Yunkai.

Jiang Xing looked at the other person's face, with doubts flashing across his eyebrows, he asked the other person: "Yun Kai, have you been a little tired lately...?"
