The Eye of the Storm

They stood under the tree, covered by the lush branches and leaves above their heads. Liang Sizhe vaguely felt that something happened, but he couldn't guess what it was, so he asked again: "What happened?"

"Where's my dad and Uncle Yin?"

"We're discussing the filming in the tube building over there for a while, do you want to go and see them?"

"No, no, I'm not going." Cao Ye backed up a bit, but there was a tree behind him, and his back hit the tree, and the mark where the belt was pulled out still hurt a little, so he subconsciously "hissed".

"Cao Ye, did something happen?" Liang Sizhe observed his expression and realized that his back might be injured. "You were beaten? Who beat you?"

"No," Cao Ye denied, and then asked hesitantly, "My father and... Uncle Yin, how are they doing?"

The question was ambiguous, Liang Sizhe thought he was asking about their working status in the crew.

"They're pretty good." Liang Sizhe tried to put his tone lightly, trying to say something pleasant to make Cao Ye happy, "You're right, Uncle Yin is like Doraemon, what does your father ask of him?" Can satisfy... your dad, he is really good, many times I don't know how to act, I understand him a little bit, everyone in the crew is convinced of him, and after getting close to him, I think he is really good I'm very busy, I don't think I ignored you on purpose, he hasn't left the film crew much in the past year, and he has to shoot until the early morning every day..."

Cao Ye interrupted him: "Didn't he just leave the set two days ago?"

"Do you know that the crew is on holiday? That's the crew's flu infection," Liang Sizhe said with a smile, "In the past few days, people always sneezed and interfered with the shooting, so Teacher Cao gave the whole crew a three-day vacation to go back to recuperate..." He was talking, The temporary assistant hurried over, "Si Zhe, Director Cao asked you to go over and take your seat."

"Oh...okay." Liang Sizhe responded. As soon as Cao Ye came, he didn't feel like filming anymore, but Cao Xiuyuan told him to go over, so he couldn't continue chatting with Cao Ye, otherwise the whole crew would be delayed.

"I have to go," Liang Sizhe looked at Cao Ye and said, "Why don't you go to the building and wait for me for a while? Aren't you afraid of the heat? There is a fan over there, so cool down. I will try to finish filming as soon as possible."

"I'll stay right here, but I'm going to disturb your filming."

"That's fine." Liang Sizhe thought for a while and said.When Cao Ye passed by, he might not be in the mood for filming anymore, so he might as well settle down and finish filming early, and have a meal with Cao Ye after work is over, and ask him what happened.

Walking back to the vicinity of Tongzilou, Liang Sizhe did not rush over to take a seat immediately, but first went back to the storage place to get his coat, took out his wallet from inside, and said to the assistant: "Sister Zhuang, help me buy a coat." A box of ice cream, and soda, to be chilled..."

Before he finished speaking, another person came over and urged: "Sizhe, hurry up, everyone else is ready, just wait for you to take your seat."

"Here we come," Liang Sizhe replied as he walked over, turned his head, and threw the wallet to the assistant in the air, "Then, there is a small fan in my seat, and you also help me to bring it to my friend."

"I know, I know," the assistant took the wallet and replied repeatedly, "Hurry up, or Director Cao will be angry."

Liang Sizhe ran over, and Cao Xiuyuan was talking to the photographer about the precautions for a while. When he saw him coming, he stretched out his hand to wrap his shoulders, took him two steps to the side, and told him about the play: "You start here in a while, Go all the way to the sixth floor, pass every door on every floor and listen to the movement inside, the length of time is up to you, don’t stop in the middle, the cameraman will follow you to take pictures, here we try a long shot..."

Liang Sizhe nodded as he listened.

Cao Ye leaned against the tree and stood in a daze for a while, then got up and took two steps to the side, the Tongzilou moved out of sight, and he saw Cao Xiuyuan holding Liang Sizhe's shoulders and giving him a play lecture.

It was obviously a very normal posture of the elder holding the younger, and let go after only a while, but he felt inexplicably annoyed.

He stared numbly at those people who were walking around in a hurry. Hundreds of people in the whole crew were busy performing their duties, but he was just an outsider, as if he was not in the same world as them, nor was he in the same world as Liang Sizhe.

——Yes, what did he say to Liang Sizhe?Said that my dad and Uncle Yin are in bed, you stay away from them, no, you better not stay in the crew, the farther away from them the better, don’t have anything to do with them, they are disgusting, I don’t want to see you Working closely with them...how is that possible?What would Liang Sizhe do if he didn't play "Thirteen Days"?

While staring in that direction, Zheng Yin came out of the building, talking to a staff member while walking, and when he raised his eyes, they looked at each other.

From a distance of tens of meters, Cao Ye could still clearly see that Zheng Yin was stunned.Zheng Yin said a word to the person next to him, then left that person and walked towards Cao Ye.

"Xiaoye." He heard Zheng Yin calling him.

Cao Ye instinctively took two steps back, turned around, and ran away. He didn't want to see Zheng Yin, he wanted to run away.

The picture began to loop in his mind again, and once the loop started, he couldn't stop, and felt sick again.He ran for a long distance, hundreds of meters or thousands of meters, until he was sure that Zheng Yin could not catch up, then he slowed down, walked a few steps and stopped, leaned on a tree by the side of the road, retched a few times, People passing by all turned their heads to look at him, but he didn't care, turned his back, and leaned against the tree trunk to calm the churning feeling in his chest.

Nausea.

It turned out to be fake.

No wonder he treats himself so well, thanks to the fact that he has always regarded him as the second most trustworthy person in the world.

Liar, damn it!

When did it start?When he was six years old when he first met him?or earlier?

For ten years, they have been lying to him!Always look at him as a fool!

After being sold and helping to count the money, you must be a fool like yourself, right?

Hypocritical, shameless, disgusting!

Cao Ye got up from the tree trunk and walked in the opposite direction to the shooting location. He didn't know where to go, but at least he should stay away from the two of them.

He didn't know why he came here. He had a lot of friends, but why did he come to find Liang Sizhe.

Liang Sizhe was also very annoyed, saying that Zheng Yin is like Doraemon, and Cao Xiuyuan is really busy, what is he talking about?Did he also know about this, and partnered with them to deceive himself?

Excuse me, where are you standing? !

He took a taxi and went to Lin Yana. He has a large group of good friends, including Liang Sizhe.

When he arrived at the door of Lin Yan's house, he raised his hand and rang the doorbell. Lin Yan came out to open the door for him. Cao Ye greeted him listlessly and walked into the living room. Lin Yan closed the door behind him.

The bedroom door was not closed, and a boy's voice came from inside, lazily: "Brother Yan, close the bedroom door."

As soon as Cao Ye turned around, he vomited "Wow" like a conditioned reflex, and Lin Yan followed behind him. He vomited all over his feet before he stopped, and jumped back a step: "Fuck!"

Cao Ye covered his mouth and ran towards the bathroom, leaned over the toilet, and vomited up his lunch.

"What's the matter?" Lin Yan took off his shirt, and followed him naked to see him, meanly, "You have morning sickness, Yezi? Who made you pregnant?"

"roll!"

"You vomited on me and let me get out? Is there any reason for me to fuck... No, what's the matter with you? Are you sick?"

Cao Ye leaned over to wash his face by the washbasin, looked up at the faucet, took a sip of water and rinsed twice, then spat the water in his mouth into the toilet: "Why didn't you say that there is someone in your family?"

"No one in my family has ever told you before, I play mine, you play yours, I have good sound insulation here, don't delay." Lin Yan leaned over to put his shoulders, "You don't mind listening to the corner brother, ah."

"Aren't you disgusting, you!" Cao Ye shook off his arm, stepped out of the bathroom, walked quickly through the living room, opened the door and walked out.

"Hey, where are you going?" Lin Yan followed up and asked, "Aren't you with me?"

With a bang, Cao Ye slammed the door shut.

When Lin Yan opened the door and chased him out, he had already taken the elevator downstairs.

Damn, what should I do?Who should I talk to about this?

Holding my breath in my chest, I can't get in or out, it's too congested.

I don't want to tell Lin Yan that he feels a little sick when he sees Lin Yan now, but he actually went gay with him before!

Tell Chi Mingyao?To put it bluntly, that buddy is more childish than himself.

Then go to Dabai?No, no, once I tell Dabai, everyone will know about it tomorrow.You can't tell Dabai about this.

Usually there are so many friends, how come now, I can't even find a single person to talk to?

No wonder I went to find Liang Sizhe just now.If he had to find someone to talk to, he only wanted to talk to Liang Sizhe.

Liang Sizhe is more mature than all his friends, and he is not pretending to be old-fashioned, but the kind who will really provide solutions.He didn't have to worry about others knowing about what he said to Liang Sizhe, Liang Sizhe would not mention it to others.

But now Liang Sizhe told him a lot of good things about Cao Xiuyuan and Zheng Yin!bother!

He stays on the set every day, can't he see that there is something tricky between them?He could even tell that Xiaoman liked Peng Yan!

They must be in the same group, someone threw a mineral water bottle on the road, Cao Ye kicked it hard, the mineral water bottle was kicked out of the old height, fell back to the ground, and bounced weakly twice.

He took out his mobile phone and called Li You, the receiver rang "beep" for a while before he was picked up, and the sound of western musical instruments came from the other end.

"Hello Xiaoye?" Li You said on the phone.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Upon hearing Li You's voice, Cao Ye couldn't help crying, feeling wronged, what's the matter...

"There's a show tonight, and I'm rehearsing with the band. Did you go to the set to see Dad?"

"No……"

"Why haven't we seen each other yet? Didn't you say that you will follow your father to learn how to make movies when you go back this time?"

Cao Ye didn't speak, he didn't know how to answer.

Li You smiled and said: "Oh, I see, he is too busy to care about you, right? What about Uncle Zheng Yin? You can learn more from him. If you want to make movies in the future, you can do it now." Learn more from the crew, no matter what, your dad's team is the most powerful film team in China..."

But when I saw my dad and Uncle Yin...couldn't say it, it was hard to say it, what should I say about it?

He felt like throwing up when he saw it, what would happen if he told his mother Li You?

Hold.

bother!

"Understood." Cao Ye suppressed the irritability in his heart and tried his best to make his voice sound normal.

After the phone call, he didn't know what to do.He must tell his mother about this, but how should he speak?

After hanging up the phone, he squatted down next to a tree, staring blankly at the passing vehicles on the street.

Six gods without masters.

Looking back on yesterday, it was like witnessing the collapse of a god.

Broken and heavy rubble hit him from the top of his head, covering the sky and covering the sky, trying to knock him down...

-

It is only a moment to come out of the play, but it is very difficult to enter the play again.

"No."

"The mood is wrong."

"Come again."

"Come again."

"Come again."

"What's going on? You're not in the right shape. Are you stupid to take these three days off?" After the sixth filming, Cao Xiuyuan threw the script and waved at Liang Sizhe, "Go to the side and think about it for a while."

Liang Sizhe walked out of the camera and went to the side to get the script.

What Cao Xiuyuan said was right, he didn't get into the show, and a rookie actor like him who has no acting skills can't perform well if he doesn't get into the show.

Liang Sizhe walked to the chair. The small fan was not taken away. He picked up the script and walked a few steps towards the side of the tube building.

It was empty under the tree, Cao Ye was not there, the sun was not so strong now, and the shadow of the tree was dragged very long at sunset.

Liang Sizhe turned his head to look, and beckoned to the assistant, who quickly ran over with small steps and handed him a bottle of water.

"My friend is gone?" Liang Sizhe unscrewed the bottle cap, raised his head and took a few sips, his Adam's apple rolling up and down.

"I left a long time ago. After I bought water and ice cream, he disappeared when I came back."

"Oh." Liang Sizhe raised his hand and wiped his mouth, frowning slightly, thinking, what happened?

The ice cream on the chair had already turned into water, soaking the paper cups, and the tentacles were a little sticky. The iced soda didn't feel cool at all, and it was even slightly hot from the sun.

——Suddenly came and left, did you have something to do with yourself?

Just as Liang Sizhe was thinking, he suddenly noticed that Zheng Yin walked behind the monitor and called out "Brother Yuan" with a serious expression. His voice was so low that Liang Sizhe could only hear clearly the words "Xiaoye" he said at the beginning.

After a while, Cao Xiuyuan frowned and said, "What am I talking to him about? What does a child know about adult things?" Zheng Yin seemed to have something to say, but Cao Xiuyuan interrupted him, "Stop talking, the set is not Discuss private matters."

Zheng Yin was calm and calm when dealing with all emergencies on the set, but now he seemed preoccupied, which was really abnormal. Liang Sizhe lowered his eyes and thought, could it be that Cao Ye and Cao Xiuyuan had conflicts again?It's also really strange, every time the father and son conflict, Zheng Yin is the one who is anxious.

Liang Sizhe went to the rest area to get his mobile phone, and called Cao Ye. Cao Ye didn't answer, so he called again, and Cao Ye hung up.

Someone came in to urge him: "Director Cao asked how are you getting ready?"

"Not yet, immediately." Liang Sizhe responded.

The filming continued until dark, and the long shot of going up the stairs was not finished.

Cao Xiuyuan said that he was not in the right state, but in fact he did not join the show, he was always worried that something would happen to Cao Ye.

When he returned to the hotel at night, he called Cao Ye again, and this time he got connected, but it was not Cao Ye's voice on the other end of the phone. If he remembered correctly, it should be Lin Yan's voice.

"He's sleeping, oh...he went to look for you during the day, he has nothing to do, so he just misses you." Lin Yan said sternly on the other end of the phone.

Lin Yan's voice was quite unbearable, Liang Sizhe was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, asked a few words about Cao Ye's situation, and then hung up.

The conflict last time was because Cao Ye went to the bar, but this time it was because of something. Could it be that Cao Ye went to the bar again?If you're with Lin Yan, it's inevitable, this kid... Didn't you say you don't want to be friends with Lin Yan last time?

After that, Liang Sizhe never saw Cao Ye again, and once he entered the play, it was difficult for him to distinguish whether he was Xiaoman or Liang Sizhe.For the last three months, I have spent the twenty minutes of climactic scenes, and the accumulated depression has reached a breaking point.

Entering the play feels like drowning. Immersed in this depressive emotion every day, it makes him feel breathless and painful.

Three months later, "Thirteen Days" was officially finished. On the night of the finale, Liang Sizhe called Cao Ye again. He wanted to meet Cao Ye. It didn't matter if Cao Ye didn't come back. He got paid and could go abroad to find him. .The only way he could think of to get out of Xiaoman as soon as possible was to meet Cao Ye.

But Cao Ye didn't answer. From that phone call, Liang Sizhe suddenly realized that Cao Ye seemed to be hiding from him on purpose.But he couldn't figure out why, could it be that the young master waited too long under the sun for filming that day, and he was upset?Or did Cao Ye have a conflict with Cao Xiuyuan, he didn't coax him immediately, and he got emotional?

But no matter how much he guessed, he couldn't do anything, he couldn't contact Cao Ye, and he couldn't find Cao Ye, so he could only let himself be sober and sometimes confused in and out of the play, living in the depression of drowning every day.

After that, he had a relationship with Hu Yusi. At first he thought he was really infatuated with Hu Yusi, just like Xiaoman was infatuated with Peng Yan.But after being together, I realized that Hu Yusi and Peng Yan are two completely different people, and he is not Xiaoman either.

The play is fake, the characters are fake, and his crush on Hu Yusi is also fake.

Just like that, he slowly walked out of the play again, he can still play without Cao Ye, it's just a matter of time.

This relationship lasted for three months, and no one broke up with anyone in the end. Hu Yusi took on a new play, and they didn't contact each other anymore, so it just let it go.

After that, Liang Sizhe and Cao Ye met again at the award ceremony of the Academy Awards.

It was Cao Xiuyuan's decision to sign up for the Golden Statue Award for Best Actor. On the night of the finale banquet, Zheng Yin sat in the passenger seat and asked Cao Xiuyuan for his opinion. After drinking some wine, he sat behind the driver with his eyes closed and meditated, and only threw four words at him: "Best Actor."

It stands to reason that for a newcomer like Liang Sizhe, it would be safer to apply for the Best Newcomer Award, but since Cao Xiuyuan has spoken, others naturally have no objection. When it comes to movies, everyone trusts Cao Xiuyuan unanimously.

Zheng Yin was in charge of everything other than the movie, even Liang Sizhe's suit was prepared by him, a black suit with fine white stripes, paired with a twill tie, solemn but not too old-fashioned.

Zheng Yin brought the news of the finalists and the suit to Liang Sizhe, "You should wear this on the day of the award ceremony," and looked at him again, "Your hair is growing too, let's tie it up, there is no need to block yourself on this occasion."

Liang Sizhe agreed, although he didn't think he would really be able to get on the awards stage, during the filming of "Thirteen Days" for more than a year, most of the time he didn't know what he was acting.

But afterward it proved that Zheng Yin's suggestion was correct.

"Thirteen Days" won the award first and then it was released. Before that, no one could know from other channels what kind of newcomer Cao Xiuyuan had picked up this time, except for the blurry photos taken by the paparazzi from afar. There were constant speculations on the forum, gossip spread every day, and the media and the public were full of curiosity about this mysterious newcomer.

And after that night, Liang Sizhe, the young actor in a suit and with long hair, looked sharp and rebellious. The scene where he stood on the stage holding the trophy and gave a speech occupied the media headlines in the early morning of the next day. , impressing everyone.
