Best Actor [Entertainment]

Watching Fu Jingchen drive away, Xue Rui still stood where he was when the taillights of the car disappeared from sight.

Near zero, sporadic firecrackers sounded all around.In the brightly lit apartment, the laughter of a family can be heard.

Xue Rui stood alone downstairs in the empty apartment, his hands and feet were blown through by the cool wind.It has been seven years, ever since they officially got together with Fu Jingchen, they spent every New Year's Eve together.

If he just went back to his old house to have a reunion dinner, Xue Rui really didn't know why he had to stay up all night to catch up with work, just to spare the entire Spring Festival holiday.

He had indeed always longed to be recognized by the Fu family, but what he longed for more was to be with Fu Jingchen for a long time and grow old forever.He used to be full of confidence in this, but now...

Xue Rui twitched the corner of his mouth, and couldn't even fake a wry smile.

It is said that the seventh year is a hurdle for two people to communicate.Could it be that they are also unavoidable, coming to cope with the seven-year itch?

Thinking back carefully, the first time I clearly felt Fu Jingchen's indifference was after he recovered from his injury and was discharged from the hospital.At that time, Fu Jingchen would try his best to spend time with him, but he just refused to be intimate with him on the pretext of caring for his body.Xue Rui didn't think much about it.I thought that after a little farewell, the situation might improve.Unexpectedly, the situation continued to deteriorate, and Fu Jingchen hardly concealed his perfunctory treatment tonight.

The night was dark, and the thick clouds covered the light of the sky impenetrably.

Xue Rui looked up at the dim night sky and let out a deep breath.

At the beginning of meeting Fu Jingchen, Xue Rui did not dare to say that he had nothing else to ask for.But after all these years, he loved this man more than his own life.In this life, it is impossible for him to love another person like he is now.He also couldn't imagine what would happen to him if he really left Fu Jingchen.

As he was thinking wildly, the ringtone of the phone woke Xue Rui up from his anxiety.After answering the phone, manager Wan Yucheng greeted him with great enthusiasm, "Happy New Year, Best Actor Xue! Remember to work hard next year and continue to win more trophies!"

It was only then that Xue Rui paid attention to the sound of continuous and blurred firecrackers in the distance.Think zero has struck.After exchanging New Year greetings and talking about the itinerary for the beginning of the year, Wan Yucheng reminded Xue Rui to pay attention to receiving new drama scripts.

Xue Rui didn't react for a while.

Wan Yucheng said with a smile: "I can forget all of this! It's "Erosion", the new play directed by Ye Hui. After the year, the casting will officially start. All the companies are about to grab the lead."

Xue Rui remembered that Wan Yucheng had mentioned to him before that he wanted to use this drama as the first work of his official comeback.Xue Rui had read the synopsis of the plot and was also very interested.

Ye Hui is currently one of the few directors in China who can balance the artistry and commerciality of films.Most of his films are well-received and popular, and are favored by major film awards.This "Erosion", the script alone has been in preparation for five years, and it is Director Ye's favorite.However, because the plot involves many fringe themes such as homosexuality, drugs, violence, etc., the script went back and forth between several production companies several times, and it was impossible to confirm the filming.Now that the casting news has come out, the preliminary work should be ready.

"Also," Wan Yucheng told Xue Rui, seemingly true or false, "Remember, the script of "Erosion" must be reviewed by Mr. Fu first. The scale of this film is not small, and I am afraid that it will not be reported in advance. President Fu can't stand it."

Xue Rui laughed, "Stop arranging people behind the scenes. Jingchen actually doesn't care about these things. He has a good eye, and he took the trouble to choose the script for me personally. He wants me to avoid detours as much as possible, not to check the scale. Wan Yucheng, you should actually Reflect on your professional ability, whether it is impossible for the boss of the head office to trust his artists to you."

Wan Yucheng laughed loudly, "Okay, okay, Boss Fu has a precise and unique vision! I admit defeat, okay? Remember to say a few good words for me, and please, Boss Fu, please don't fire me!" I have been by Xue Rui's side for many years , from executive economics to gold broker, Wan Yucheng and Xue Rui have a very close personal relationship.The two get along casually and easily, with little restraint.After making a joke, Wan Yucheng said seriously: "It's not entirely a joke. It's better to pay attention to the issue of scale in the future. In the previous "Mask", your boss Fu had a dry meal."

Xue Rui had never heard of this matter.Seeing that Wan Yucheng didn't seem to be funny, he also became a little interested, and walked into the apartment building, while listening carefully to Wan Yucheng's words: "You were filming "Mask" in France the year before last, halfway through the filming, Mr. Fu once left Zambia to return to China. Because Mr. Fu has to personally check the screens you accept, I sent him the script of "Mask" for his review. Afterwards, I had a gathering with colleagues from the headquarters, and Mr. Fu’s secretary Catherine was there. She revealed that I left that day Soon, Mr. Fu lost his temper. As far as I know," Wan Yucheng said with a hint of teasing in his voice, ""Mask" has been released in China for more than two months, and Mr. Fu hasn't even been to a movie theater to see it. ? He wants to support every one of your previous movies. Tsk, isn’t it just a few hot and passionate scenes. Even though the domestic version has been deleted, there is nothing left, but the jealousy is so strong.”

Xue Rui didn't know why at first, but when he heard it, his palms were wet and slippery, and he could hardly hold the phone.

From the script to the entire production team, "Mask" is first-class in every aspect.From Wan Yucheng's point of view, Xue Rui's success in this drama is nothing to lose.Facts have also proved that Xue Rui's vision in choosing scripts is also excellent.In this way, Fu Jingchen's anger and his subsequent avoidance of "The Mask" seemed to be explained only by jealousy.

Wan Yucheng really doesn't know Fu Jingchen well enough.With Fu Jingchen's temperament, how could he lose his temper because of jealousy?Even if he really took a sip of vinegar, he would only keep it secret and ask Xue Rui back quietly.

There was a chill on Xue Rui's body, he took a few breaths, and asked, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Wan Yucheng didn't take it seriously, "When Catherine mentioned it, it had been a long time ago. I thought, why don't I tell you about it after you finish filming and return to China. After the filming of "Mask" ended, you went directly to Zambia to date Mr. Fu , and then there was a car accident. It was a mess at the time, and I completely forgot about it." If it weren't for the scale of the new drama that he wanted this time to be bolder than "Mask", Wan Yucheng might not be able to remember it even now. Think of Fu Jingchen's rumored Thunder Fury.

"Okay, don't worry too much," Wan Yucheng sensed Xue Rui's nervousness, and comforted him with a relaxed tone, "As an actor, it is impossible to avoid passionate scenes all the time. Mr. Fu has also done it in Yuntian himself. He understands the situation. What's more, you have such a good relationship. If you speak patiently, he will agree..."

The phone fell to the floor, blocking Wan Yucheng's voice.

Xue Rui's brain was like a nail being hammered into it, and like a severe pain virus, madness spread to every nerve in the brain.He pressed his forehead tightly, recalling the three days he and Fu Jingchen spent in Zambia over and over again like masochistic.

The memory is getting clearer and clearer.Every word, every expression and every movement of Fu Jingchen came to mind vividly.

An emotion similar to fear, roaring like a bursting flood.

"Ah!" Xue Rui yelled in a low voice, closing his eyes tightly.
