A muffled laugh sounded overhead.

The darkness lasted only a few seconds, Zhuang Yan quickly let go of his hand, and sat aside as if nothing had happened.

The scene has been changed on the big screen.

The scene just now didn't have any R-rated scenes at all, but the hero and heroine were making out on the bed, and the scene changed before they took off their clothes.

But Zhuang Yan just wanted to tease him.

Xie Ning gripped the pillow tightly, and said in a muffled voice, "I'm an adult."

"Really?" Zhuang Yan raised his eyebrows, "It doesn't look like it."

Seeing the flash of a smile in his eyes, Xie Ning realized that this person was teasing him again.

He pursed his lips, stopped talking, and moved his body to the right of the sofa, as if he wanted to stay away from him.

Zhuang Yan laughed out loud again, and stopped when he saw Xie Ning's glaring eyes.

How can he be so cute.

Xie Ning stared at him for a while, then turned his head and continued watching the movie.

Zhuang Yan was satisfied with the fun, and didn't make any more troubles, and sat quietly until the movie was over.

The screen turned black, and when the staff watch was slid out, Zhuang Yan asked him, "Does it look good?"

Xie Ning weighed his words: "It's a pretty good movie." After a pause, he added, "If you didn't say it, I wouldn't have thought that it was the same director as "Monologue."

"What?" Zhuang Yan raised his eyebrows, "It doesn't look like it?"

Xie Ning nodded: "It's a completely different style."

The plot of "The Love Letter of Nobody" is ups and downs and fascinating, leaving the audience with a question until the end of the story.

Is Fancy a real person, or is it just a fantasy in the heart of the heroine.

"In this movie, the director seems to be downplaying his own style and moving closer to the tastes that the public loves." Xie Ning said.

Zhuang Yan was noncommittal: "This is the only way for most directors, and the film must finally bow to the public."

Xie Ning looked at his face: "The popular ones may not be the best."

Zhuang Yan raised his eyebrows: "Whether a movie is good or bad, most people only look at two things: box office and word of mouth, both of which are very popular."

At the box office, the audience buys it.Word of mouth, audience reviews.

It is said that commercial films are based on box office, and literary films are based on word of mouth. It is also a literary film. Compared with "Monologue", "The Love Letter of Nobody" has much higher reputation and evaluation.

Zhuang Yan continued: "Of course, maybe you and I both like "Monologue" more, but we are in the minority after all. As a director, there are only two things I want, money or fame. Anyone with a clear mind will know what to do. What a way."

If it was normal, Xie Ning would just smile when he heard him say that.

But for some reason today, he suddenly became irritable.

Maybe it was because those firm words were too sharp, piercing his skin like a needle.

He said: "Maybe others are like this, but Zhuang Yan is not."

Zhuang Yan heard a sense of determination from his calm words.

He gave a low laugh and dragged his tone: "Oh?"

Xie Ning said: "If he is, then he can't make "Monologue". Maybe I don't understand movies as well as you, but I understand art better than you."

Zhuang Yan looked at him: "You said him, is his movie a kind of art?"

"Yes." Xie Ning nodded, "His movies are not expressing to the public, he is expressing to himself. Maybe he has bowed his head and made a movie of public taste like "The Love Letter of Nobody", but he is humble At the end, I feel..."

Xie Ning paused for two seconds, and expressed his thoughts: "I feel that the public's aesthetics are too stupid, so I continue to raise my head and make his own movies."

Zhuang Yan didn't speak again.

He stared at Xie Ning fixedly, without making a sound for a long time, looking at Xie Ning until his heart trembled.

After a long time, Zhuang Yan chuckled, "You're very interesting."

Xie Ning: "If you don't like it, you can pretend that I didn't say anything."

"No." The big screen became pitch black due to no one operating it for a long time, and the entire projection room fell into darkness. In the darkness, Zhuang Yanyan rubbed his hair with his hands.

"I love so much."

Zhuang Yan stood up and took out the CD, following his movements, the projection room was lit up with a faint light again.

As if thinking of something, he turned his head and asked, "Do you know Zhuang Yan?"

Xie Ning was stunned for a moment. If he really wanted to say it, he had actually heard of Zhuang Yan's name from Xu Qing a long time ago, but this kind of unilateral knowledge shouldn't count.

He shook his head: "I don't know."

Zhuang Yan raised his eyebrows: "What you said just now seems to know him very well."

Xie Ning smiled, and said, "Mr. Lanjing, we study art, and we communicate through works. We don't need to know each other, but we can communicate with each other."

Zhuang Yan laughed out loud: "Hahahahahaha, Mr. Rabbit, you are so funny."

What is he laughing at?

Is it that funny?

Xie Ning pursed his lips.

"What's next?"

Zhuang Yanyan pulled him up from the sofa: "Go to dinner first, artist, don't even look at what time it is."

Xie Ning looked at the time belatedly, and it was already past the meal time.

Aunt Chen has already prepared dinner and is waiting for them to serve.

Xie Ning followed Zhuang Yan step by step, and as soon as he stepped into the restaurant, he could smell the tempting fragrance.

I don't know if it's because he's too hungry, or if Aunt Chen really made it, it's really fragrant.

Aunt Chen said while setting up the bowls and chopsticks: "You guys are out, the food will be cold after a while."

Xie Ning smiled shyly, Zhuang Yan sat down calmly, and asked Aunt Chen to sit down and eat together.

"We have guests today..." Aunt Chen hesitated, with a disturbed expression on her face.

Xie Ning hurriedly said, "It's okay, let's have fun eating together."

Before Aunt Chen said that Zhuang Yan had a picky taste, Xie Ning didn't take it to heart. It was not until he was sitting at the dining table that he finally understood what it meant.

Aunt Chen's big table dishes are full of flavors and flavors, Xie Ning tasted a couple of mouthfuls, and felt that even if he went out to open a restaurant, it would be more than enough.

But when it came to Zhuang Yan's mouth, there was something wrong with everything——

"This bowl of stone pot fish is cooked too long and the meat is not tender enough."

Xie Ning swallowed the fish meat in his mouth, he was about to praise the tenderness and juiciness of the fish.

"The vegetables are too old and not fresh enough. Next time, I will buy them from a vegetable market."

Xie Ning picked up a piece of green vegetable, it was quite crunchy.

"The dried bamboo shoots are so big that it's not easy to bite, and the heat is not enough, and it doesn't taste good."

Fragrant and crispy, this is not tasty enough, what is tasty?

Xie Ning: "..."

In the end, Zhuang Yan picked up a piece of eggplant with minced meat, chewed a couple of bites, and said calmly under Aunt Chen's anxious eyes: "Too much salt, too salty."

This person is really difficult to serve, not only has a picky taste, but also has a mouthful.

Xie Ning took a bite of the eggplant, but he didn't taste anything salty or not.

Aunt Chen's face became even more frightened: "Sir, I..."

Zhuang Yan interrupted her: "The food you cooked today is too poor, not what you should have."

"I won't do it next time." Aunt Chen stood up, Xie Ning looked at her pale face, and felt a little compassion.

Zhuang Yan asked her: "Tell me, what happened? You have been absent-minded today."

Aunt Chen said, "Sir, I, I would like to ask for a few days off."

Zhuang Yan frowned: "Family matters?"

Aunt Chen nodded: "My grandson is playful and fell down the stairs, and he is still living in the hospital."

Zhuang Yan: "Are you all right?"

Aunt Chen hurriedly said: "It's nothing serious, just a broken leg. His parents are busy with work, and he is a child. He is panicked in the hospital by himself. I am really worried and want to go to the hospital to take care of him."

"Sit down first, and talk while eating." After Zhuang Yan said this, Aunt Chen's expression improved a lot, "How many days are you going?"

Aunt Chen said: "I will come back every few days to clean up, but I may not be able to make dinner."

Zhuang Yan responded.

Aunt Chen glanced at him anxiously, wondering if he agreed or not.

Zhuang Yan remained silent all this time, and when he finished eating, he put down his chopsticks and walked upstairs.

Aunt Chen: "Sir, sir, isn't he angry?"

Xie Ning comforted her: "Probably not, he's not such an unreasonable person."

He said that without knowing it.

This Mr. Blue Whale has a really weird temper.

"You're right." Aunt Chen nodded and said, "Mr. is a bit rude, but he's still a very nice person."

Xie Ning was silent for a few seconds, and thought: His personality is not very good.

Zhuang Yan came down after a while, holding a bank card in his hand and handing it to Aunt Chen: "There are tens of thousands of dollars in it, you take it first."

Aunt Chen's face turned pale, thinking that Zhuang Yan wanted to settle the salary: "Sir!"

Zhuang Yan waved his hand: "Don't think about it, your grandson doesn't know how much it will cost to see a doctor. You take the money first, and treat it as a year-end bonus."

Aunt Chen said, "Well, I don't have the nerve to accept it."

Zhuang Yan frowned: "You can keep it if you tell me."

As soon as he straightened his face, his aura became very strong. Sure enough, Aunt Chen didn't dare to refuse any more, and hurriedly thanked him.

When he returned to the screening room, Xie Ning said, "I didn't expect you to be quite nice."

Zhuang Yan glanced at him: "Aunt Chen has been working in my house for more than ten years. She is trustworthy and her craftsmanship is good. I couldn't find anyone more satisfied with her."

He is boasting about his skills, as if he wasn't the one who commented at the dinner table just now.

This time he led Xie Ning to a shelf, and said, "I don't know which ones you've seen and which ones you haven't, so choose yourself."

Xie Ning looked at the full CD and was surprised: "So many?"

Zhuang Yan: "As I said, I have all of Zhuang Yan's works."

Xie Ning said with emotion: "I didn't expect you to be a die-hard fan."

Zhuang Yan: "...There are so many things to talk about, hurry up and choose."

Xie Ning slid his fingers across the discs, and finally took out one, and read the name on it: ""Change of Heart"?"

He wondered: "Has Zhuang Yan made this movie? Why don't I have any impression?"

When Zhuang Yan heard the name, he glanced sideways: "This is a very early work, and it has not been released abroad, and it has only been circulated in a small area."

"You also have such a small number of works?"

Zhuang Yan said indifferently: "I even have his college graduation project."

Xie Ning: "...You have great powers."

Zhuang Yan specifically asked, "Are you sure you want to see this one?"

Xie Ning nodded: "Just this one."

Zhuang Yan didn't talk nonsense, and directly put the CD into the projector.

Soon, Xie Ning knew why this film was so niche.

This is a gay movie.

Gay films were popular for a while a few years ago. Later, same-sex marriage was officially legalized, and the controversy over homosexuality reached its peak. Many directors have dabbled in this subject.

Unexpectedly, Zhuang Yan also took pictures.

Most of Zhuang Yan's films are shot abroad, and the leading actors are basically foreigners.This "Changing Heart" is set in China, and the two leading actors are also Chinese.

The story begins before same-sex marriage is legalized and ends after same-sex marriage is legalized.

It's about an era.

Xie Ning was even more embarrassed.

Forget about romance movies, two big men watch gay movies together...

Xie Ning knew from an early age that he was a homosexual through and through and only responded to men's bodies.

The scale of gay films is larger than that of ordinary romance films, and sex scenes are indispensable, just like the world's understanding of love between men.

Love and sex are always inextricably linked.

It wasn't the sex scene that made Xie Ning restless, but the person sitting beside him.

This time Xie Ning had the foresight to sit at a distance from Zhuang Yan, even so, he could feel the powerful aura around him.

Xie Ning had personally experienced his aura when he approached, making his heart beat faster and his hands and feet go weak.

The point is that this person really likes to tease him!

Xie Ning was afraid that he would do something weird later.

He was a little overwhelmed.

The plot develops to the bed scene stage, and the music becomes lingering.

Xie Ning took a deep breath, determined to strike first, and turned to look at Zhuang Yan.

Zhuang Yan was taken aback by him for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Aren't you an adult? Why don't you dare to look at it, shy?"

Xie Ning silently looked away.

"Is there any water?" he asked.

When Zhuang Yan looked over, Xie Ning had already lowered his head, and the flickering light hit his side face.

For some reason, Zhuang Yan's mouth also became parched. He licked his lips and stood up: "Wait, I'll pour you some water."

Seeing him go out, Xie Ning breathed a sigh of relief and began to watch the movie seriously.

"Changing Heart" is a very old-fashioned story, telling the process of a same-sex couple's struggle with family, school, and the world.Until same-sex marriage was officially legalized, they finally appeared in the sun hand in hand.

However, this is not the happy ending of the story. When the world gradually accepts same-sex marriage, when homosexuality is no longer a taboo, there is no external pressure between lovers, and the internal contradictions are increasingly magnified.

The daily necessities gradually wiped out their love, and finally they changed their hearts, and they went their separate ways amid quarrels and cold wars.

Zhuang Yan's early works were not very mature, and the narration, shooting techniques and camera transitions were not smooth and natural enough.

That feeling of depression never goes away.

As a homosexual, Xie Ning felt a bit of sadness with empathy, as if a stone had been crushed in his heart.

Zhuang Yan's early works have always been regarded as his own dark history, which is easily prevented from being read.

Seeing that Xie Ning's expression was not right, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Doesn't look good?"

Xie Ning shook his head, came back to his senses, his eyes were still a little hazy.

He clasped his wrist uncomfortably and rubbed it twice, and asked, "Can you give me this film?"

After speaking, he himself was taken aback: "Although it's a bit presumptuous, but... I really like it."

"I see." Zhuang Yan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why?"

Xie Ning pursed his lips, momentarily flustered.

He knew it was a bit abrupt to ask, but he really...

Zhuang Yan asked again: "Are you gay?"

Xie Ning suddenly looked back at him.

After a while, he nodded: "yes, I am."

Zhuang Yan looked at him with darker eyes.

Xie Ning lowered his head to avoid his gaze: "Sorry, this request is too much for me."

Just when he was depressed, Zhuang Yan had already walked to the projector and took out the disc, and then returned to Xie Ning: "Stretch out your hand."

Xie Ning: "?"

Zhuang Yan put the CD in his hand, chuckled and said, "I can give it to you. But, you can't take it for nothing, right?"

Xie Ning: "Shall I draw another picture for you?"

Zhuang Yan shook his head: "What do I want you to draw so many?"

Xie Ning looked at him with wide eyes: "Then..."

Zhuang Yan asked, "How about agreeing to my request?"

Xie Ning looked into his eyes and subconsciously nodded.

Zhuang Yan laughed out loud: "I haven't asked you anything, but you agreed, aren't you afraid of being betrayed by me?"

Xie Ning took a sip of water and said, "Human trafficking is illegal."

Zhuang Yan choked.

He looked at Xie Ning's ruddy face, his breathing deepened, and he felt a little teasing in his heart.

The next second, his hand pinched Xie Ning's face and squeezed it: "It feels good."

Xie Ning's face turned redder: "You..."

"Mr. Rabbit," Zhuang Yan looked at him with a half-smile, "I'm free to make any request?"

Being looked at like this, the oppressive feeling that makes one's legs weak came again.

Xie Ning couldn't help thinking, isn't it just a CD!If it's a big deal, let it go, what more can he ask for!

Seeing his red ears, Zhuang Yan was in a good mood, and finally stopped teasing him.

"Then I'll mention it, can I go to your house for dinner these two days?"
