In the city [entertainment circle]

73

After returning home, Uncle Zhong immediately brought a bowl of stewed sweet soup, "I just made it, drink it to warm your body."

Li Ruosen is sitting on the sofa at home right now. This is a place he is used to staying in. It is soft and safe. The constant temperature system at home keeps the room temperature at an optimum temperature forever. He looks at the sweet treat in front of him. The soup was stirred a little, and after a few sips, it was put aside.

Li Zhengying and Li Ruoyu were not in this house, he leaned on the sofa, thinking about something, he thought that Shen Xiao must be a little unhappy, as for the reason, he still couldn't figure it out for the time being.

He was leaning on the sofa with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep. He could feel someone coming over and throwing a blanket over him, it should be Uncle Zhong, and then everyone around him left.

After an unknown amount of time, someone came over and stroked his hair, "Why did you fall asleep here?"

"Not asleep." Li Ruosen opened his eyes, "When did the elder brother come back?"

"Just now." Li Zhengying said, he sat down on the sofa next to Li Ruosen, glanced at the sweet soup that was still on the table, "Why are you back today?"

"I'm a little sleepy." Li Ruosen avoided his eyes.

Li Zhengying didn't speak, he leaned on the sofa, still looking tense, "I've been thinking about one thing these days." He looked at Tiantang and said, "Should I find you another place to live?" He saw that Li Ruosen seemed to want to say something, so he stretched out his hand and motioned him to listen to himself first, "I've been thinking about this for a while, I think you must be worrying about something, but it's not convenient to tell us ..." He paused, "It's actually my fault."

He said to Li Ruosen, "I have been deliberately ignoring this matter. You have no friends, no social circle of your own, and the scope of your life is only this old house..." So when I encountered some problems that I didn't understand, I couldn't solve them. communicate.

"Did Shen Xiao tell you?" Li Ruosen asked, he believed that the eldest brother would not suddenly mention this, it should be Shen Xiao who said something to let him know.

Li Zhengying did not deny it, "He did remind me of something that I had been ignoring before."

"What?" Li Ruosen asked. In fact, he had a rough answer in his heart. He found that he seemed to be born with a lack of understanding of feelings. He didn't know what friendship was. His vitality had never existed before, and he had no contact with it. Too much outside society, lack of common sense of interpersonal communication.

But he is smart and can learn, so on the surface, he seems to be no different from ordinary people, and understands the general skills of interpersonal communication-maybe Shen Xiao once thought that he knew what emotions are.

But he doesn't understand, he likes Shen Xiao, this is a very instinctive thing, even animals understand this attraction, but what more?In fact, he didn't quite understand how to deal with feelings.

...Li Ruosen leaned on the sofa, and he said to Li Zhengying, "I'm going to leave for a while."

No one knew where Li Ruosen had gone, maybe Li Zhengying knew because he was the one who arranged everything, but he didn't want to say it.

Shen Xiao felt that it was very sudden. He felt that Li Ruosen didn't seem to understand the reason why he hadn't agreed to Director Li, so that day, he sent Li Ruosen back to Li's house, and wanted to calm down first.Afterwards, he told Li Zhengying that Li Ruosen actually didn't know much about feelings.

Whether it is love, friendship or family affection, he doesn't really understand.

It was rare for Li Zhengying not to hang up his phone, "Why does he need to understand?" Li Zhengying asked Shen Xiao back, "For so many years, he didn't understand, but he still survived, and he wasn't unhappy."

"What happens after you understand? Understand the parting of relatives, the betrayal of friends, and the departure of lovers?" Li Zhengying asked Shen Xiao on the phone, "Just now Wu Tao told me that you sent Li Ruosen back to Li's house."

"You still think you're a 16-year-old boy?" Li Zhengying's voice was very contemptuous. He never looked down on Shen Xiao from the beginning to the end. Even if the relationship was eased later, his feelings for Shen Xiao have always been full of hostility.

"Look, you don't understand anything, you just want to pull Ruo Sen out of the world he is familiar with, and you don't have the slightest patience. You hope he can understand for himself, and know where he went wrong." Li Zhengying's voice came through the phone It was not very appropriate, "Who do you think you are? Shen Xiao."

"Actually, I don't like you, and I have never liked you." Li Zhengying said, "It's just because of Ruo Sen, I have been putting up with you, but your idea is good, you should give Ruo Sen a proper distance, let him get in touch with the society, you see , he fell in love with you because he had too few contacts."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Shen Xiao stared at the phone. Until now, he finally understood what was the biggest difference between him and Li Zhengying. He hoped that Li Ruosen could live independently and get in touch with the society, just like everyone else.

But Li Zhengying doesn't think that this idea is right, Li Ruosen doesn't need to be like everyone else, he can live in his own comfort zone.

He didn't like that Shen Xiao kept trying to pull Li Ruosen out of the place he was familiar with.

Shen Xiao once again affirmed the fact that he and Li Zhengying really couldn't get along peacefully.

After thinking for a while, he still called Director Li, explaining that he really couldn't go abroad to shoot.

On the other end of the phone, Director Li didn't seem too surprised. He just asked if he had time. They needed to talk face to face.

After the premiere event, Director Li did not return home immediately, but chose to stay in a nearby hotel, which was not far from where Shen Xiao lived.

So Shen Xiao and Director Li made an appointment for a time, and then went out.

After arriving at the hotel, Shen Xiao found that Director Li's wife was not there, and that Director Li was the only one in the suite. "She met her old self and went to live in the other party's house." Director Li roughly said, and let Shen Xiao in , and then pointed to the sofa and asked him to sit casually.

Shen Xiao and Director Li have also known each other for many years, so they are not restrained. He drank the wine that Director Li poured for himself from the small bar, and then said, "You know my reason for coming, even if you want to come."

"I know, it's not surprising." Director Li also poured himself a glass. Since he was old and not in good health, he actually seldom drinks alcohol. At this moment, he was only able to secretly drink a glass while his wife was away. He said to Shen Xiao, "You can't tell the truth."

"Drink less, I won't tell the truth." Shen Xiao raised his glass to Director Li.

"Actually, you were the one who appeared in my head at the beginning of the movie." Director Li took a sip of wine, sighed in satisfaction and said, "But when you first said that you still have to think about it, I knew , this should be hopeless.” He rubbed the wine glass filled with ice in his hand, and the mist quickly condensed into water droplets on the wall of the glass, “There is nothing worth considering in this movie, the script, the cast... no To say it humbly, and me, with this lineup, countless people want to be in this drama, but you said you have to think about it, I think there must be something that made you hesitate."

"You will see him soon." Shen Xiao said.

"Yes." Director Li looked at Shen Xiao, "You are not impulsive."

"I've never been." Shen Xiao said, every step of his, he has a plan, the only exception may be Li Ruosen, after all, in his prediction, he will not be with a man, he still has a background Quite a big man.

"That's why I was surprised." Director Li said, "I don't think Li Ruosen disagreed."

"I disagree." Shen Xiao said, "He really hopes that I can seize this opportunity."

Director Li murmured, "Actually, he was right. This film will only be filmed for half a year abroad at most. Although he is not in good health and it is not convenient to go there, it will only be half a year."

"I'm not young anymore."

"That's why you have to seize the opportunity."

"Maybe I would have caught it before." Shen Xiao said, "But in fact, after winning the award, this matter is not very urgent for me. I used to think that I had to prove something. Shen Xiao didn't always Making fictional and artistic films is not always a little bit worse, and it will never miss awards."

He has always wanted to prove something. To put it bluntly, Shen Xiao is not the kind of person everyone thinks, who is aloof from the world. It's just that he fights in a different direction. He wants to fight to show himself that he can do it, even if he doesn't learn. He can still do it even if he becomes a monk halfway through some professional courses.

"It doesn't matter now?" Director Li took another sip of wine, picked up the cigarette case on the table, and handed it to Shen Xiao and himself.

"Are you completely indulging yourself while your wife is away?" Shen Xiao also relaxed a lot after drinking, and his tone no longer had the restrained feeling before.

"It's you who smoked it then." Director Li lit the cigarette as he spoke, and then threw the lighter to Shen Xiao.

Shen Xiao also lit it, and he took a puff before saying, "You know that's not what I meant."

"I'm not young anymore, I don't have much time left for relationships, and I'm still young, I still have a lot of time left for movies." Shen Xiao said, "So this is just a one-time abandonment." He looked at Li Director, "Do you think this is your pinnacle work?"

"You don't have to provoke me like this." Director Li said slowly, "I don't know if this is my peak work, but I know that the peak period of my creation may have passed, I am really old, my skills It is mature, but the thinking may be old."

"The next creation will be a few years later, and I don't know anymore." Director Li said, "Sometimes I miss the time when I was young. At that time, I didn't understand anything, and there were many thoughts in my head. Every time I watched foreign In the domestic studios, I learned from others and saw how things were used... At that time, there were very few things that could be used, and the technology was not developed, but you had a lot of ideas, a lot, and there were always different ideas. idea."

"You probably didn't come to listen to my nagging. I originally wanted to persuade you. Now that you think clearly, it's your turn to say it. What do you want to tell me?"

"Still talk about your emotional problems?"
