Battle of the Entertainment Circle

It's the end of the year, and the last drama was completed more than a month ago. Shen Yaoxiang is quite free during this time, except for occasionally attending a few large-scale evening events, most of the time he has no work, which can be regarded as a rest Chance.

The Chinese New Year will be less than half a month away. As usual, as long as he is not filming for the Chinese New Year, he will go back to his hometown. This time, he also booked the air ticket early in the morning, so as not to be forced to change the itinerary when something happens suddenly. .

Shen Yaoxiang's hometown is in the south. His parents divorced when he was born, and he lived with his mother. His mother is a strong woman who has been working hard outside. When he was a child, he was brought up by his grandmother. Before studying, he lived with his grandmother in the countryside. He went to study in the bustling provincial capital city. His mother didn't have much time to take care of him. He was very independent since he was a child. The only person he was attached to was his grandmother. Every year when he went back, he would spend a day with his mother, and then he would go back to his hometown to spend the New Year with his grandmother. This year is no exception.

But before that, a new film appointment came to the door, and I hope to make an appointment before the Chinese New Year and wait for the movie to start after the Chinese New Year.

If it was another invitation, even if it was a big-name director and producer, he would not be able to agree to it in such a hurry, but the director Liu Cheng who personally invited him was the director of his first film. He has been kind to him, and he must repay this kindness.

Back then, he was an ordinary student at the film academy, and because of his popularity in the boy band before, he got the chance to audition. He was caught by the director at a glance, and he boldly used him as a newcomer as the protagonist, and he took the trouble to give it to him when he was filming. He said that the play inspired him and allowed him to find the inspiration to finish filming the movie smoothly, and then he won the three best actor trophies for his debut on the big screen for his role as the depressed teenager with a tendency to split personality.

Shen Yaoxiang has always been a person who knows how to be grateful, so Director Liu came to the door in person, and he agreed without hesitation.

It's just that he didn't expect that the heroine of this movie is Xu Dan, and it's a more literary romance movie, with many intimate scenes.

Xu Dan also won the crown of actress at a young age, and he is beautiful enough and elegant. The key is, if Shen Yaoxiang is not pretending to be affectionate, Xu Dan should like him. They have already collaborated on a film before. At that time, Xu Dan's admiration for him was quite obvious, but he didn't say it clearly, so Shen Yaoxiang could only pretend not to know. However, the thought of acting as a couple with her again still gave him some headaches. Very good, he has always regarded her as a friend, and he really doesn't want to freeze the relationship.

Two days after finalizing the role with Liu Cheng, Shen Yaoxiang was invited by him to meet with the crew and other leading actors. Xu Dan was very happy to see him and took the initiative to say hello to him. After the meeting, he was alone Stay and wait for him.

Shen Yaoxiang said a few words to Liu Chengduo and was the last one to leave. Seeing that Xu Dan had been waiting for him, Liu Cheng smiled meaningfully at Shen Yaoxiang, patted him on the shoulder and left first. Shen Yaoxiang was very upset. Helpless, when there were only the two of them left, Xu Dan asked Xu Dan if he wanted to send her back, but Xu Dan asked him with a smile: "Aren't you going to Lele's birthday party? Let's go together? And you can't drive, right? Take me car?"

He almost forgot that Cui Lele was his cousin, she was also a gangster, and she was good friends with Xu Dan Jiran. Today she celebrated her birthday, and she did tell him to ask him to go to her birthday party with her.

And that girl seemed to know that Xu Dan was interested in him, and she had been trying to match them up both openly and secretly.

It is conceivable that when he and Xu Dan appeared at the agreed bar together, he was immediately whistled and coaxed by a group of bad friends, Xu Dan smiled shyly, and Shen Yaoxiang couldn't explain anything, so he could only let them Go, acquiesce to such a joke.

Ji Ran sat over, glanced at Xu Dan who was joking and greeting Cui Lele, and asked Shen Yaoxiang in a low voice: "Are you really here with her?"

Shen Yaoxiang picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "How is that possible."

"Then you guys are so ambiguous? Don't you make it clear?"

Shen Yaoxiang was helpless: "She didn't say it clearly, how could I make it clear to her that we still have to film together."

"...You just wait and die."

Shen Yaoxiang didn't say any more, he raised his head and closed his eyes and poured all the wine in the glass into his mouth in one breath.

******

"Do you smoke?"

Seeing the cigarette being handed in front of him, the man on the high seat by the bar shook his head slightly: "It will damage your throat."

Raising the glass in his hand, he has already started to drink the third glass of wine tonight. The bright red liquid dangles in the glass, and then slides all into his lips. Looking at the corners of his slightly squinted eyes, the corners of his eyes are already smudged Drunk, the man passing the cigarette by his side looked away a little uncomfortably, and his eyes fell on a group of people who were having fun somewhere in the corner. When he saw the person in the middle, a look of surprise flashed across his eyes, and then He quickly looked away.

"Wei Ning, are you unhappy? What are you drinking so much for?"

Wei Ning supported his head with one hand, leaned against the bar counter, and looked at him: "No..."

"……you're drunk."

"No, this little wine is nothing." He raised his glass and took another sip: "I can't get drunk."

Under the dim light, Wei Ning, who was slightly drunk and blushing on his face, looked indescribably charming. He was obviously a man, but his every frown and smile had the power to seduce people's hearts. People around him looked at him With a dry mouth, she moved closer to him imperceptibly, and poured him another drink: "I thought you were in a bad mood."

Wei Ning smiled, it was true that he was unhappy, he did not know how many times he woke up from his sleep, dreamed about those past events when he was young, and couldn't fall asleep again.

Recently, the frequency of dreaming about that person seems to be getting higher and higher. Thinking of his cold and distant expression at the award ceremony, I felt a dull pain in my heart, which was not fatal but often made him breathless. He regretted rushing to the awards ceremony right after he got off the plane that day. If he had known it was him, he probably shouldn't have attended at all.

In ten years, what can't be forgotten will never be forgotten. If he could bear it back then, maybe he wouldn't have no friends with him now.

Then there was a wry smile again, so what about being friends, maybe it was more painful, but it would be better to be strangers like now.

"I'm sorry, Luo Ming, I dragged you out to drink with me at such a late hour." Wei Ning almost lay down on the bar counter: "If you're sleepy, go back first."

The man next to him is named Luo Ming. He is one of the few friends he has been close to in this circle over the years. They have known each other since they were still in the band. At that time, Luo Ming was their assistant. After so many years, He has also become an ace agent, but he has always kept in touch with Wei Ning, and occasionally he can meet up for a meal and a drink.

"What are you talking about?" Luo Ming poured himself a glass of wine, and drank most of it at once, "I'll accompany you."

Wei Ning patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "That's enough buddy."

But he didn't notice that the other party's pupil was unwilling because of the two words he said.

Luo Ming changed the subject and asked him, "How do you plan to spend the New Year?"

Wei Ning thought for a while and murmured: "Stay home for the New Year. I haven't spent the New Year with my parents for several years. I won't go out this year."

"Don't you need to go to Japan to record a program?"

Wei Ning shook his head: "I just came back, I won't go, I don't want to go."

"What? It's not good over there?"

"Okay...how bad, but the winter in Hokkaido is too cold, Beijing is better."

Luo Ming was stunned for a moment, and saw that he raised the glass again and poured the wine into his mouth, but for a moment he couldn't figure out what his words meant: "Have you been in Tokyo for more than half a month... ..." Moreover, the winter in Beijing is obviously very cold.

Wei Ning's eyes were straight, staring straight at the colorful wine on the shelf in the bar without focusing on it, and there was a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

Those were the most difficult years for him. He was pursuing his music dream alone in the coldest place in a distant foreign country. At that time, he was thinking of his family and friends every day, especially thinking of that person, the kind of cold that penetrated into the bone marrow, which he never wanted to experience for the second time in his life.

"After the new year, we will go on tour, and there will be a few days to rest..." Wei Ning stopped talking suddenly, his eyes fell on that spot and stopped, his eyes were so bright that they almost dripped .

Luo Ming followed his line of sight and saw that Shen Yaoxiang was holding Xu Dan's drink while the crowd was booing. He smiled lightly and lowered his voice to ask Wei Ning: "You haven't contacted for many years, right? The relationship between him and Xu Yinghou The gossip has been very lively recently, but I didn't expect it to be true."

Wei Ning withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes slightly, drank the last half of the wine in the glass, put it heavily on the bar counter, stood up: "Let's go." Then he turned around and strode out first.

After leaving the bar, he subconsciously lowered his hat and pulled up his scarf to cover most of his face. Wei Ning breathed a sigh of relief. The cold wind blew, and his consciousness was much clearer. Luo Ming called a taxi and helped him drive He opened the door, but he didn't go up: "You go, it's not on the way."

"It's okay, I'll take you back first..."

"No need," Wei Ning smiled: "To save trouble, you can go back first, I'll go to my parents' house, take the subway two stops away, and there will be no traffic jams."

After he finished speaking, he turned and left without waiting for Luo Ming to say more, and his back quickly merged into the crowd.
