Song Qingyan, who was staying in the car, blinked and saw Liang Sizhe getting on Cao Ye's car, the door closed, and quickly slid a few meters away.

After she realized it, she rushed to the window of the car and asked loudly, "Brother Sizhe, where are you going?"

"Let's go first, you and..." The voice quickly drifted away and became inaudible. Song Qingyan vaguely guessed that Liang Sizhe asked her to go back to the company with the driver.

You left all your things on the car bro... and the clothes that the costumer prepared in advance for tonight's finale banquet. Song Qingyan sat down crying without tears, muttering how can I just leave, there is no sign at all No……

The episode of "The Darkest Choice" was playing in the car, the unrestrained and unrestrained jazz music, compared to the loud music, the two were much quieter, smoking in silence, but the atmosphere was quite relaxed, no one felt that they were not talking Awkward.

After a while, Liang Sizhe asked first, "Is Lian Ye the music director of this film?"

"That's right," Cao Ye responded, "Doesn't it match the style of the movie?"

"Lianye hasn't been out of the mountain for many years. I heard that many seniors can't invite them to visit in person. How did you invite them?"

"I...I flew to Taiwan to invite him." After smoking a cigarette, Cao Ye took his hand off the steering wheel, opened the lid of the ashtray, and threw the cigarette butt in. "I've been there five times."

"It's just a matter of frequency?"

"if not?"

"I guess you'll still be good-looking?" Liang Sizhe took the last puff of his cigarette and threw away the cigarette butt as well.

Cao Ye smiled: "Not only is he being good, he's also selling himself."

Liang Sizhe also laughed and shook his head.

"Don't believe me." Cao Ye said.

"Let's not talk about how many rounds Lian Ye is older than you... Aren't you homophobic?" Liang Sizhe asked.It is rumored that Lianye did have several homosexuals, but Cao Ye's statement is obviously pure fabrication.

"Afraid, do you dedicate your life to art?" Cao Ye smiled, tapped his fingers on the steering wheel a few times following the rhythm of the tune, "It's worth the price, right?" He said, humming along with the episode After a few sentences, the retroflex sound is quite authentic, and the tone is relaxed and lazy. The voice of a teenager ten years ago has changed a little, but it still sounds pleasant, like a college student who has nothing to do on the weekend.

"Sell yourself and invite a music director to make you think it's worth it. It seems that I shouldn't have agreed to reshoot so easily at that time."

Cao Ye stopped tapping the steering wheel with his fingers.

"I think the role of Scar is no less important than the music director?" Liang Sizhe glanced at him with a smile.

Cao Ye said "tsk": "It's okay if I sell myself to hire a music director, and invite an actor to play a supporting role? I still have self-knowledge."

"It's not called self-knowledge, it's called self-deprecation. Aren't you the little prince of idioms?"

"Come on, don't mention it," Cao Ye stopped him, "This title sounds too shameful now."

"It's cute." Liang Sizhe said with a smile.

After the jazzy episode was played, a soft piano piece was switched. Cao Ye answered a phone call from Xu Anqiao. After hanging up, he asked Liang Sizhe, "I want to sign up for this year's Golden Statue Awards after reshoots. They asked you if you want to nominate the best supporting actor."

"Report, why not report?"

"You have won so many Best Actors, you should not be short of this best supporting actor, they are afraid that you will think you are undervalued."

"I think it's a drop in price..." Liang Sizhe repeated his words with a smile, then paused for a moment and said, "So many movie stars were all won under the guidance of Mr. Cao. High award, don’t you know what’s going on outside?”

Of course Cao Ye knew that after Liang Sizhe won the Best Actor Award at Cannes, he rejected the olive branch thrown by several big directors in China, and willfully retreated for two years to direct "Liang Sheng Zhu Meng". After its release, the box office just exceeded [-] million. You stand as high as you stand, and you fall as hard as you fall." Some even asserted that Liang Sizhe, who had left Cao Xiuyuan, could not go far at all.At that time, Cao Ye's company had just started, and he had to pay attention to industry news every day, and he had seen a lot of such claims.

"I thought you didn't care about these claims." Cao Ye said.

"I haven't practiced that much yet," Liang Sizhe smiled, as if a little self-deprecating, "To be honest, although the two films "Thirteen Days" and "Wangchuan Zhichuan" won awards, they were actually I don't really know what I'm playing."

"Are you kidding me?" Cao Ye said, Xindao really only had to stand at the height of Liang Sizhe to have the capital to humble himself to this level.

Liang Sizhe went on to say: "I think "Red Man Red Woman" is very good, very clear-headed, better than the two films that won Best Actor, but it's a pity that it was shortlisted but didn't win the award."

There was some regret in his tone, Cao Ye couldn't help but frowned slightly and said: "I heard that Mr. Zhu Qingyun Zhu also signed up for the Best Actor in the Academy Awards. He is over 90 years old and has been with him for many years. You can’t ignore this factor, no matter how well you acted that time, there’s no chance of winning.”

"Well, this world only judges heroes by success or failure. I have nothing to do with myself. It's just that I promised you at the time but failed to do so. I always feel that I have let down the opportunity you fought for me. I have always wanted to find time to explain to you. I actually did my best in the film.”

As soon as he said this, the scenes from a few years ago appeared in front of Cao Ye's eyes. Liang Sizhe sat in front of him and looked at the sentence he said, "Don't worry, I will definitely win the Best Actor". I remember it very clearly.

Cao Ye paused for a long time before asking in a low voice: "Do you work harder than "Wang Chuan"?" Although they are all directed by Cao Xiuyuan, "Red Man, Red Woman" is an opportunity he won for Liang Sizhe, "Wang Chuan" "The River of Water" was called by Cao Xiuyuan for Liang Sizhe to act. Cao Ye didn't know the meaning of asking.

Liang Sizhe turned his face to look at him, and said with a serious expression, "Yes, I did my best more than "Wangchuan"."

Cao Ye nodded and said nothing more.

The two were silent for a while without speaking.

After a while, Liang Sizhe asked first, "Where is this going?"

"I don't know..." Cao Ye said.

A few seconds later, he heard Liang Sizhe laughing lowly, and then he himself felt a little funny, driving for so long, he didn't even know where he was driving.

The two laughed for a while for no reason.

Cao Ye stopped laughing, and said innocently, "Didn't you say you can go wherever you want, so I'll just go wherever you want."

"Very good," Liang Sizhe said with a smile, "Let's just open it."

That afternoon, the two of them drove for nearly [-] kilometers aimlessly, drove several sections of high speed, and boarded several viaducts. Finally, when the fuel tank was about to run out, the indicator light on the fuel gauge flashed to give an alarm. Bring up the car navigation.

The surrounding wilderness and hills have already reached the border of the neighboring city. Cao Ye checked the nearby gas stations on the navigation and filled up the fuel tank before the fuel ran out.

On the way back, the sun was about to set, and the setting sun was hidden on the mountainside, and the large area of ​​the sky was smudged almost magnificently, spreading from the dazzling duck egg yolk layer by layer to dark blue, and then the night shrouded bit by bit. When the car merged into the congested traffic in the city, the twilight had completely put away the last ray of skylight.

"I guess I'm going to be late." Cao Ye looked at the red lights at the rear of the car and said, "Get ready to be fined for drinking in a while."

"They don't know you're a bad drinker?"

"If you know it, you'll be fined..." Cao Ye leaned back in his chair and said, after thinking about it, he still couldn't hold back a rebuttal, "And I'm much better at drinking."

"Is that so?" Liang Sizhe recalled the dinner where he talked about the reshoot of "The Darkest Choice" for more than a month, and said with a smile, "It seems to be better than before."

"When did you stop drinking?"

"After "The Butterfly Lovers" was released, it was less than two years ago."

"Last time your assistant said that you quit drinking for the seventh time. Is this frequency really quitting drinking?"

"The seventh time..." Liang Sizhe smiled, "It should be more than seven times. She asked me how many times I drank during the holidays. I can't remember, so I just said it to fool her."

"That's still called abstinence from alcohol."

"I'm quitting." Liang Sizhe looked out the window and said, "If you can't quit, you can't say you're not quitting."

"How did you think of quitting drinking?" After Cao Ye asked, he remembered that he seemed to have asked this question once before.What Liang Sizhe said that day was "If you want to quit, you can quit".

But today he changed his rhetoric: "If you don't quit, you will lose control."

His voice sank, Cao Ye involuntarily glanced at him, at that moment Liang Sizhe seemed to be in a deep emotion, his usual leisurely demeanor was gone, and the dim yellow light on his face was gone. Looks a little lonely.Like the Liang Sizhe who talked about that he could no longer play the violin on the last day of his 17th birthday.

Suddenly there was a rush of horns sounding behind him, and Cao Ye came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream. The green light was already on, and the vehicles behind him were urging him to move forward.

At this moment, the cell phone rang in the car, and Cheng Duan called.Cao Ye picked it up and asked him when he would arrive.

"The road is too congested, so we may arrive 10 minutes late." Cao Ye said.

"Where are you going?" Cheng Duan's voice spread in the car, "I haven't seen you for a day, I heard you went to watch the filming last night?"

"It was Xu Anqiao who told you."

"It's raining so hard, and you don't call the driver. What kind of wind are you getting out of nowhere? There are no girls at the scene, right?"

"I have to have a girl to go..."

"Is this your usual style?" Cheng Duan said with a smile, "Could it be to meet your old lover Liang Sizhe?"

Cao Ye: "..."

Liang Sizhe, who was in the co-pilot seat, glanced at him.

Cao Ye coughed lightly and reminded Cheng Duan, "We are together."

"what?"

"Liang Sizhe is beside me."

Cheng Duan: "..."

"Hang up first." After Cao Ye finished speaking, he hung up the phone, thinking that he must remember to turn off the Bluetooth when driving and making calls in the future. This is too embarrassing. , I never said anything."

"Oh." Liang Sizhe's reaction was very flat, "I guess so."

The wrap-up banquet was held in the Luomeng clubhouse. When the clubhouse was first built, the partition design of Japanese-style screens was referred to. On weekdays, when there is no need to receive guests with great fanfare, several screens are closed, and it looks like a private room connected to each other. After a while, all the screens were opened, and the space of hundreds of square meters was transparent and bright. The lighting engineer controlled the ambient lights on all sides, making the clubhouse look like a feasting banquet hall.

Seeing them coming in, Cheng Duan got up and walked over to greet them. He greeted Liang Sizhe first, then looked at them both with a smile and said, "Where are you going? It looks like your hair is messed up, you opened the hood, right? It seems that you have gone to a place far away?"

"Going to elope." Liang Sizhe looked at him indifferently and smiled.

"I believe it." Cheng Duan laughed and pointed forward, "Go, at that table."

Investors Lin Yan, He Fangwen, and Zhao Chengdong also came over. Seeing them approaching, Lin Yan took the red wine and poured it into the glass: "Old rules, you will be fined for being late."

After pouring two glasses, he looked at Liang Sizhe before pushing it away and asked, "Sizhe is still quitting drinking?"

Liang Sizhe sat down without saying a word, raised his elbow and flashed the back of his hand at him.

Cao Ye thought to himself that this person lied so calmly that no one could see the slightest hint of his lies.

Lin Yan looked at Cao Ye: "In this case, Ye Zi, will you replace him?"

"Just watch." Cao Ye said, forgive him for not drinking himself too much.

Lin Yan knew Cao Ye's drinking capacity, so he poured three glasses and pushed them in front of him: "This drink is quite strong, so I won't drink too much, you fine two drinks and one for Liang Sizhe. Kindness."

The wrap-up banquet pays attention to the atmosphere, and it is really unreasonable not to drink. Cao Ye didn’t push much, and he picked up one cup after another, and drank them all in one go. Three empty cups were lined up on the table. All up.

"You're good at drinking." Liang Sizhe turned to look at him, "Is there really no problem?"

"It's been so many years, do you think I haven't improved at all?" Cao Ye said, but he knew in his heart that he would be drunk tonight, but he didn't know how drunk he would be when the alcohol got better.

He Fangwen came over to pay respects to Liang Sizhe with a drink, and sat aside to reminisce with him after drinking himself.

Cheng Duan turned his head and whispered to Cao Ye, "So you really went to see Liang Sizhe last night?"

Cao Ye glanced at him: "Where did you see that?"

"Your clothes belong to Liang Sizhe, right?" Cheng Duan looked down from his face, "Typical of his style."

"Is there?"

Cheng Duan nodded: "You rarely wear dark colors."

"Okay." It seemed to be the case.

"The clothes can be worn together," Cheng Duan said with a smile, "I began to doubt that what the old lover said was true. To be honest, the moment you just stepped in from the door, it was really like coming back from an elopement. "

"Vice President Cheng, I think the company can hire you as a screenwriter part-time, with a different salary."

"Just now you said you were together in the car, I guess what was my first reaction?"

"If you don't want to guess, don't tell me."

Cheng Duan didn't listen, and then said with a smile: "You think you're going to come out with me."

Cao Ye looked at him without words.

"Didn't you hear I was surprised?"

"No." Xin Dao said nonsense, of course I heard it, otherwise why would I explain that sentence more later?
