The Eye of the Storm

The taste of the new year is getting stronger, and red lanterns are hung on the streets and alleys.

Huang Ying also hangs one at the door of "Shao". She has always followed the punk style, but now she suddenly has a vulgar style. Cao Ye said that it is not like her style.

Huang Ying looked at the lantern shaking slightly by the wind, and said with a smile, "It's Chinese New Year, it should be lively."

Cao Ye brought Du Zhui to scout the scene this time. Du Zhui said that the road leading to the underground boxing ring needed to fill in a set of empty shots, so Cao Ye brought him to Burning.

"It's good, let's go here." Du Zhui and the cameraman came up from the spiral staircase, holding their mobile phones to make a call, "Let's shoot in the afternoon, empty shots are fast, I'll call the crew over."

"Okay," Cao Ye said, "I'm going to the airport in the afternoon, Huang Ying, meet up with Director Du."

"No problem," Huang Ying replied, and asked Cao Ye, "How long have you been going to Berlin?"

"At least a week." Cao Ye said, turned and opened the door of the sports car, "Let's go."

The car started, and the sports car drove out of Yinsi smoothly. Huang Ying watched the dark blue car disappear around the corner, and couldn't help but think of a certain scene three years ago.

At that time, Luomeng was first established and the bar had just been built. Cao Ye asked Huang Ying to help watch "burning".

Huang Ying stood on the old site of Lanyan, looked at the narrow alleyway, and asked worriedly: "Can this be profitable?"

Cao Ye crouched against the wall: "I don't know either."

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​building a bar in this alley?" Huang Ying felt that this decision was unwise, and that the bar would probably close at a loss in a short time.

"It doesn't matter if it's profitable or not." Cao Ye turned his face to look at Yin Si, his eyes fell far away at the end of the alley, "I just think that something should be left on this street."

"The bar is built in such a secluded place," Du Zhui came over and said to Huang Ying after making the phone call, "It's quite unique."

"You don't know, do you? Liang Sizhe experienced life in this alley before filming "Thirteen Days." Huang Ying said with a smile.

"Really?" Du Zhui looked around the alley, "Hey, then this is a treasure land, what was it like here before?"

"Breakfast stalls, fruit stalls, barbecue stalls, noodle shops, small restaurants... you can find everything here," Huang Ying pointed to the bar behind her, "It used to be a shabby karaoke hall, and the upper floor was a guest house, where Liang Sizhe and Cao Ye lived at the time." inside."

"Is that so..." Du Zhui was thoughtful.

"Don't tell others." Huang Ying realized that she was talking too much, so she added.

"Don't tell me," Du Zhui said with a smile, "If this gets out, this street will probably become a tourist attraction."

Liang Sizhe has participated in many film festivals, and his debut film "Thirteen Days" won the best actor award in three film festivals.

In his ten-year career as an actor, he has won several trophies. In the eyes of the public, he has a high starting point and has been at the peak all the way. But for Liang Sizhe, more than half of those trophies should be attributed to Cao Xiuyuan.

Cao Xiuyuan has absolute control over the crew. If a shot fails to meet his requirements, he will retake it hundreds of times, so Liang Sizhe sometimes feels uncertain when shooting other directors' films.

"Sinking" is not a role that Liang Sizhe is very satisfied with, but it is the only one that was shortlisted for the International Film Festival among all the roles that he left Cao Xiuyuan.

On the day of the awards ceremony, both of them wore suits and set off from the hotel.

After Liang Sizhe finished walking the red carpet, he went backstage to meet Cao Ye.Well-known actors from all over the world gathered in the backstage. Although Liang Sizhe had won Best Actor in Cannes, he was still a newcomer in the world. He only greeted a few familiar actors before going to sit in the auditorium with Cao Ye.

The stylist trotted over, holding a tie in his hand: "Sizhe, don't rush away, let's change a tie."

Most of the actresses have to change into another dress to attend the awards ceremony after they are dressed up on the red carpet. Male actors don't need to be so troublesome, but the stylist feels that they still need to make distinctions in details.

There were many people around, and there was a reporter holding a microphone to interview a Korean actress, Liang Sizhe walked to the side: "Go out and change."

They walked to a relatively clean place outside without cameras, and stopped. Liang Sizhe pinched the tie knot with his fingers and loosened the tie. The stylist stepped forward: "Let me do it."

Cao Ye stepped aside and looked at Liang Sizhe from the side.

The competition at this year's Berlin Film Festival is extremely fierce, especially in the best actor group. A Japanese actor in his 40s, Kawada, has a very high voice.Cao Ye knew that it was normal to win the award or not, but he was still a little sad when he thought about the domestic public opinion environment in the future.

People standing around in twos and threes, all came out to smoke.Cao Ye also took out the cigarette case, took out a cigarette from inside, lit it, and smoked one by one.

Perhaps because Liang Sizhe has reached the peak of his fame, film critics and ordinary audiences are extremely harsh on Liang Sizhe. Putting other actors on the list, being shortlisted for the A-category film festival is enough to brag about, but when it comes to Liang Sizhe, it seems that he must win an award in order not to follow. Falling from the altar.

Cao Ye looked at Liang Sizhe while smoking a cigarette.Liang Sizhe was wearing a black tuxedo suit, with straight legs wrapped under trousers, looking elegant and sharp, exuding a charming temperament.

The stylist is short, Liang Sizhe needs to bow slightly to accommodate her height.

"Sizhe, have you grown taller again?" The stylist helped Liang Sizhe take off his tie, and handed it to Song Qingyan next to him, "It says you are 183 on the information, you should be more than that?"

Liang Sizhe smiled: "Guess."

"I guess more than that." The stylist was holding a tie, tiptoed, and was about to raise his hand to wrap Liang Sizhe behind his neck, when Cao Ye came over: "Let me do it."

"Alright," the stylist handed him the tie, "I'm too strenuous."

Cao Ye took the tie and stood in front of Liang Sizhe: "Lied about your height, Liang Sizhe." He was 1 meters tall naked, and he expected Liang Sizhe to be the same as him.

Liang Sizhe stood up straight, raised his index finger in front of his lips, and gave him a "shh".

Cao Ye held a cigarette between his fingertips, and walked around the back of Liang Sizhe's neck with his tie, careful not to touch Liang Sizhe with the cigarette: "Is this a secret?"

"It's just that the information hasn't been updated for many years." Liang Sizhe smiled, and took out a half-lit cigarette from Cao Ye's fingertips. "However, if no one else knows, it can be counted as a secret."

He raised his jaw slightly so that Cao Ye could help him tie his tie. When he spoke, his Adam's apple vibrated with his vocal cords and rolled under his thin skin. It looked very sexy up close.

He held the half of the cigarette and took a puff: "Didn't you say that you will accompany me to quit smoking?"

"You have failed to quit smoking so many times, so you are not allowed to fail once?" Cao Ye said while helping Liang Sizhe tie his tie.

Liang Sizhe took a puff of smoke, looked at Cao Ye through the white smoke, and said with a smile, "You're not nervous, are you, Cao Ye?"

"It's not me participating." Cao Ye insisted.

"Don't be nervous," Liang Sizhe said, "I guess I will run with you this time."

Cao Ye tightened his tie a little: "You knew you would run with me?"

"I've seen Senior Kawada's movie, and he's really good." He looked at Cao Ye, lowered his voice, and asked at a volume that only the two of them could hear, "Cao Ye, if I can't get the Best Actor, what will you do?" Will you be disappointed?"

He looked at Cao Ye standing in front of him. Cao Ye seldom wore a suit, but this time the black suit outlined Cao Ye's waist, making him look straight and slender. It was a kind of youth transforming into a youth. A breath between green and mature.

Liang Sizhe had always felt that Cao Ye hadn't changed much, he was still a teenager, but at this moment, Cao Ye in a suit made him realize that during his rapid growth over the years, Cao Ye did not grow slower than him.

After the tie was tied, Cao Ye let go of his fingers: "If you can't take it this time, why don't you take it together next time?"

"Well, that's right." Liang Sizhe laughed again, "So, don't be nervous."

At the awards ceremony that night, Liang Sizhe did not win the award, and the best actor was awarded to Kawata, the most popular Japanese actor before.

When announcing the list of winners, Cao Ye sat next to Liang Sizhe and watched a close-up shot of Liang Sizhe appear on the big screen. Liang Sizhe had a straight back, handsome and decent.

That night, "The Darkest Choice" won the Best Film Music Award, and Lian Ye took the stage to accept the award.After the award ceremony, Lian Ye went to the backstage to shake hands with Cao Ye, spread five fingers with Liang Sizhe and said, "Just to make music for this movie, Cao Ye approached me five times." He shook Cao Ye's hand and said, "I I have to thank you, it’s really a tiger father without a dog.”

"I should thank you." Cao Ye said hastily.When Lian Ye took over the job, it was because of Cao Xiuyuan's face. Now that he has won the award, he still does not forget to mention Cao Xiuyuan. It seems that he is indeed a fan of Cao Xiuyuan for many years.

On the way back to the hotel that night, Cao Ye looked through the comments and found that the public opinion was not as harsh as he imagined.

The media sent a newsletter saying that Liang Sizhe had lost the Best Actor contest. Many netizens commented that it is already amazing to be shortlisted in Berlin. Liang Sizhe is only 28 years old, and there is still a long way to go.

Both "Darkest Choice" and "Sinking" were favored by overseas film and television companies at the film festival, and will be screened in dozens of countries next.

That night, the two crews got together and held a celebration banquet in the hotel. Everyone clinked glasses and drank without any scruples, and got drunk.When Liang Sizhe and Cao Ye returned to the hotel, they didn't bother to take off their suits, and soon got entangled.

When they woke up the next morning, their suits and shirts were thrown all over the floor, and there were traces of madness everywhere.

It takes more than ten hours to fly from Berlin to Beijing. When we got off the plane, several people were very tired and sat in the nanny's car, leaning on the car seat to sleep.

Liang Sizhe put on a hood and closed his eyes to rest his mind. Song Qingyan suddenly turned around from the front seat and whispered to Liang Sizhe, "Brother Sizhe, something seems to be wrong..."

"Huh?" Liang Sizhe opened his eyes and looked at her, "What's wrong?"

Song Qingyan handed him the phone: "Look at this."

Liang Sizhe took the phone and sat up straighter. When he saw the moving picture on the phone screen, he frowned, and his sleepiness disappeared immediately.

It was a set of moving pictures released by Xingbao on Weibo. On the screen, Cao Ye was helping Liang Sizhe with his tie. The two were of similar height. It can be seen that his posture is relaxed and he is joking with Cao Ye.

Liang Sizhe's finger slid down, and someone in the comment area captured the picture frame by frame, and circled and marked the hand movements of the two people in red, so that people can see at a glance that the half of the cigarette in Cao Ye's hand is wearing a tie It was transferred to Liang Sizhe's hands, and Liang Sizhe continued to twitch very naturally.

This microblog has only been posted for half an hour, and it has already received tens of thousands of retweets and comments.

—— "Wow, who is this guy? Helping tie a tie and smoking a cigarette together, it seems that the relationship with Liang Yingdi is not simple."

——"It's not easy for two people to talk and laugh."

——"Wearing a tie can explain being a stylist, but what else can explain smoking a cigarette?"

——"Smoking a cigarette together is an indirect kiss. I don't think straight men can do this."

——"No way? Is Liang Sizhe gay? My heart is broken and I don't want to believe it. He has been in love with many actresses!"

——"Liang Sizhe is a double, there have always been such rumors, but his girlfriend has never broken up, so everyone doesn't believe it."

Liang Sizhe glanced at Cao Ye. Cao Ye was sleeping and didn't pay attention to his conversation with Song Qingyan.

Song Qingyan said in a low voice: "Sister Yunchu said that the popularity of this Weibo has risen too fast. When I found out, there were already a lot of comments and reposts. If I find someone to delete it now, I'm afraid it will be a cover-up..."

Liang Sizhe stared at the moving picture for a while, Xu Yunchu was right, now everyone is guessing who is opposite him and the relationship between them based on a moving picture, if you immediately spend money to delete it, it is tantamount to It is true that the relationship between him and Cao Ye is not simple.

And now not only the marketing account is spreading this group of animations, but more and more personal accounts are also starting to spread it, and I'm afraid they won't be able to delete it even if they want to.

Liang Sizhe has experienced many scandals, some of which are true, but more of them are false.But whether it was true or not, Liang Sizhe never responded. He knew the best way to divert public attention, one is another hot incident, and the other is time.

The best way for this kind of rumor based on guesswork and speculation is to wait for it to pass slowly and be gradually forgotten by everyone.A few years ago, the public used a photo of Liang Sizhe covering Cao Ye's face to speculate about his sexual orientation. Later, he had a same-sex scandal with He Xinze, but these things that were not confirmed were gradually forgotten by the public. It has become an unfathomable rumor that is occasionally mentioned.

It should be the same this time, Liang Sizhe returned the phone to Song Qingyan, and raised his hand to pinch the space between his eyebrows.Fortunately, Cao Ye was not photographed in the face, so he should not be involved.

At the same time, the hot searches for "Liang Sizhe's tie" are also rising steadily.

Soon there was a marketing account gossip, summarizing Liang Sizhe's same-sex rumors over the years, including mysterious same-sex friend, mentor Cao Xiuyuan, co-actor He Xinze, and industry screenwriter He Chen.

According to past experience, it is safe for things to develop in this direction. All the mixed rumors are half true and false, and in the end it can only make things more and more deviated from the truth.

But no one thought that this matter would have a follow-up.

A few hours later, the hot search for "Liang Sizhe's tie" had begun to cool down, but Star Broadcasting released another video.The video has no picture, and the background sound is noisy, like a secret recording of a banquet.

In the recording, a man scolded loudly—"You are good, you will go to Cao Xiuyuan to get the best actor when you turn back, do you enjoy this best actor, do you feel at ease? Do you know how to write the word ungrateful?" Huh? Without Cao Ye, you fucking now...fuck me!"

The recording ends here.
