Chapter 124
The secretly photographed the backs of Liang Sizhe and Cao Ye. They got out of the car and walked side by side to the distance of the cemetery.
The photos spread rapidly, and another wave of discussion about the relationship between Liang Sizhe and Cao Ye was triggered, and the topic of "Liang Sizhe and Cao Ye" quickly rose to the hot search list.
"It's just a lover... I'll go to visit each other's parents together."
"I didn't avoid suspicion after wearing a tie, and it was very similar to the usual love style of the Best Actress Liang."
"Let's record the tie and watch Li You, these three things combined are solid enough."
"What's the secret to this? Liang Sizhe might have been visiting his master's wife... It's normal to go with Cao Xiuyuan's son? I can only say that the two of them have a good relationship."
"I haven't photographed holding hands and kissing... I'm just good friends, are you good friends? Do you don't know how good the relationship between straight men is?"
The next day, Song Qingyan came to deliver the project book and script, but was pulled by Cao Ye when he left: "Liang Sizhe used to read Weibo?"
"He won't watch it," Song Qingyan said, "I've asked him before, and he said he's been watching good and bad, so he rarely watches it, but he seems to watch movie reviews occasionally."
"Is that?" Cao Ye said thoughtfully, "He has been watching it all the time recently."
Song Qingyan lowered his voice: "Brother Sizhe told me yesterday that he would remove the hot search."
After Song Qingyan left, Cao Ye touched his cell phone from the table.
Liang Sizhe told him not to care about comments that have nothing to do with him, so Cao Ye rarely paid attention to public opinion in the past two days, but why did Liang Sizhe watch it frequently?
Cao Ye opened Weibo and the focus of public opinion had spread from his relationship with Liang Sizhe to the marriage between Cao Xiuyuan and Li You, and he dug out the incident of Zhang Minghan accusing Cao Xiuyuan of molestation.
Someone posted Zhang Minghan's recent work, starring a big online movie, and the production of the movie poster looks very inferior.
That incident made Zhang Minghan stand at the forefront, but later the police issued an announcement saying that there was insufficient evidence and it could not confirm that Cao Xiuyuan had an indecent behavior. After that, Zhang Minghan took on several supporting roles in the movies, and then gradually disappeared in the circle, with few people paying attention to it.
Cao Ye roughly scanned the page. Now that he saw the incident back then, he felt that he was in a state of turmoil and was far away from him. In comparison, he cared more about why Liang Sizhe had been paying attention to public opinion recently.
For Cao Ye, he was worried that once the relationship was exposed, it would have an impact on Liang Sizhe's acting career, but he always felt that Liang Sizhe was worried about this - otherwise how could he give up everything and hit the reporter in full view of everyone?
Liang Sizhe came to beat the reporter back then because he wanted to protect him. Now Liang Sizhe is paying attention to public opinion and specifically reminding Song Qingyan to withdraw the hot searches. He should also want to protect him and... protect their relationship.
Lomon recently needs to invest in a new movie. Cao Ye and the project director went on a business trip to another province to conduct a field trip. Before leaving, the producer mentioned it and said that Cao Xiuyuan and Zheng Yin's films were also filmed not far away from nearby.
Cao Ye asked the project director to go back to the hotel first and drove around the nearby car. He wanted to apologize to Zheng Yin.
In his impression, when Cao Xiuyuan was six years old, he carried him to the crew to film. Li You went to see him off at that time, and the four of them had eaten at the same table. So he never thought that before he was six years old, Li You and Cao Xiuyuan had been separated for a long time.
Now I realize that Zheng Yin is the most innocent person in the whole matter. But when he was young, he hated Zheng Yin for a long time because he knew nothing.
The blockade was carried out around the set, and Cao Ye parked his car nearby and walked over.
The crew was filming in the distance, and he came over to try his luck, but he didn't want to disturb Zheng Yin's work.
But he didn't expect that this luck was really touched by him. When he turned around and wanted to leave, he saw Zheng Yin walking out of a nearby small shop.
Both of them looked at each other, and they were slightly stunned.
Cao Ye walked over and said in a natural tone: "I see that the shooting is being taken over there, why do you have time to come out?"
"I've taken it many times, but," Zheng Yin's expression quickly returned to normal, and he smiled, "I'm not doing anything for now. Come out and have some breathing and buy a pack of cigarettes. Are you here for something?"
"I have a film I have submitted to have a picture nearby, come and have a look in the afternoon." After really seeing Zheng Yin, Cao Ye realized that the words of apologizing were not so easy to say. Many years have passed, and it seems a bit abrupt when he mentioned it rashly.
"The film you collaborated with Sizhe has been completed, right?" Zheng Yin asked, and saw Cao Ye nodding, and said, "Your father's crew has always been like this. The films that started filming at the same time have been completed for a long time, and he has only filmed less than half of them."
Cao Ye followed his words: "I've only taken less than half of the shots now?"
"This time it's faster than before," said Zheng Yin, "it's been half taken."
After walking a few more steps, the two of them fell silent. Cao Ye thought for a while and said, "You say it and you are breathable, otherwise... I will take you around the neighborhood for a few rounds?" He likes the atmosphere of driving. When both of them are silent, there is also car music to relieve the embarrassment.
Zheng Yin nodded and smiled and said, "Okay, I haven't gotten into your car yet."
When the car is driven, there are few buildings around and the roads are wide, making it very suitable for a ride.
They talked about the shooting for a while, and the topic led to Cao Xiuyuan. Cao Ye paused, held the steering wheel and looked forward: "How are you and my dad... now?"
"Everything is pretty good," said Zheng Yin. "Your dad is still the same. He doesn't care about anything when he shoots the movie..."
"Uncle Yin," Cao Ye said, "You know I'm not asking about this."
His Uncle Yin shouted, and the atmosphere suddenly became silent. After a moment, Zheng Yin sighed almost inauspiciously and smiled: "The relationship between the director and the producer is still the same, there is nothing to say, but you and Sizhe...?"
"We are together." Cao Ye said truthfully.
"I'm talking." Zheng Yin shook his head and smiled, "It's not easy after so many years."
"You knew it long ago?" Cao Ye was stunned.
"I guessed that Sizhe has never been concerned about others. By the way, we moved the studio a while ago and found out the video record of you and Sizhe auditioning for "Thirteen Days" ten years ago. When we returned to Beijing, we will give it to you. You can keep it as a souvenir."
He pointed the topic to Cao Ye and Liang Sizhe. Cao Ye heard that he didn't want to talk about something with Cao Xiuyuan, so he didn't ask more questions.
When the car was back on the set, Cao Ye asked: "Do you still remember the address of Liang Sizhe's home?"
"The address of his family? It's been so many years, but I really can't remember it. But even if I remember, the surroundings should have changed a lot." Zheng Yin recalled, "But I remember... it seems to be on the seventh floor. We took the elevator up. Because there are not many residential buildings in the area, we said at that time that the child's family should be well off. I don't know if he can perform Xiaoman's feeling."
"Residential buildings should have names, right? Can you remember it?"
"I can't remember what Liu is, but I'll check it out, so I'll confirm it on the local navigation map."
The car door was pushed open, and Zheng Yin was about to get out of the car, but Cao Ye called him: "Uncle Yin."
Zheng Yin looked back at him: "What's wrong?"
"I just want to say sorry to you..." Cao Ye finally said the hesitation all the way, "I was ignorant back then and had a misunderstanding of you. If you are with my dad in the future, I...I am willing to send my blessings."
Zheng Yin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Xiao Ye, you are really grown up... Be good with Sizhe, you are all good kids."
He was unwilling to mention his own and Cao Xiuyuan. Cao Ye sighed on the way back. He actually wanted to repair his relationship with Zheng Yin, but he seemed to be unable to go back. People pay attention to fate. Sometimes, once the relationship is broken, no matter how hard they try to go back to the past, there is an invisible barrier in the middle. People stand at both ends of the barrier and feel powerless.
That night, Cao Ye and Liang Sizhe communicated with each other and received a push message on their phone. On the video, the reporter met Liang Sizhe by chance and asked whether his recent relationship was true or not. Liang Sizhe laughed and said, "Guess."
The comments really started to guess. Some people said it was true, otherwise they would be involved in the same-sex rumors. Why didn’t Liang Sizhe directly deny it if he was a straight man? Some people said it was false, because Liang Sizhe’s expression was obviously teasing reporters.
There are different speculations, the truth is unpredictable, and Liang Sizhe has the ability to confuse the public.
Before returning to Beijing, Cao Ye went to Rock City.
He found Liang Sizhe's door according to the name and floor of the community sent by Zheng Yin. He knocked on the door of the resident opposite, said sorry first, and asked Liang Sizhe if he still lives here. He said to the resident: "He has not lived here for a long time and has not been back in recent years. We also want to see what big stars are like now."
Cao Ye stood at the door of Liang Sizhe's house. He was sure that he touched the right door this time, but he didn't have the key. How could he successfully enter?
…Climbing the window or picking the lock?
——
When Cao Ye returned to Beijing, the weather was already spring.
Liang Sizhe took over the production of a film, which was starring Chi Mingyao's boyfriend Li Yangxiao, called "Rhapsody".
The script of this film is good, and Liang Sizhe likes it very much, so when director Jiang Lang came to invite him to be the producer, he thought about it for two days and quickly agreed.
Liang Sizhe has made three movies in the past year and a half. He wants to pause. Being an actor is to take himself out. If he keeps filming, he will emptiate himself one day, resulting in the roles he plays are empty and without content.
After that, Cao Ye was photographed secretly again. He came out of Lomon, and an entertainment reporter was waiting nearby and photographed his face.
Liang Sizhe looked at the video, and the entertainment reporter held up a microphone at the door of Lomon to interview Cao Ye, but Cao Ye refused.
Cao Ye always smiled a little, and it looked very easy to get along with, but in the video, he was in a hurry, frowned slightly, and looked a little impatient.
Liang Sizhe asked about the process. Recently, not only were paparazzi occasionally squatting, but many unemployed young people also squatting near Lomon. They wanted to take pictures of Cao Ye's face or the scene where Cao Ye and Liang Sizhe came in and out together, so that they could sell them to the media at a good price.
Liang Sizhe thought he could intentionally guide the direction of public speculation. As long as they did not admit it, no one could confirm his relationship with Cao Ye, but he could not avoid all this harm to Cao Ye. Cao Ye undoubtedly likes freedom, but if he is with him, Cao Ye's free space will be greatly reduced and he will have to endure uninterrupted harassment. This is simply unsolvable.
After they finished that night, Liang Sizhe held Cao Ye and said sorry in his ear.
"Why do you want to say sorry?" Cao Ye asked.
"It's annoying to be photographed all the time."
"Will it be annoying to be photographed when you first became famous?"
"Not to mention that I just became famous, I'm quite annoying to be photographed now." Liang Sizhe said with a smile, "But this is my job, and I have no reason not to bear it."
Cao Ye heard that Liang Sizhe was saying that if Cao Ye chose to be with others, he would not need to bear these unnecessary secret photos and harassment. He looked at Liang Sizhe: "Okay, Liang Sizhe, from what you mean, is it that I suggesting me to change my boyfriend, right?"
Liang Sizhe was amused by him: "Then have you considered changing?"
"You don't love me anymore, right?" Cao Ye turned around and said after laughing, "You can't change your boyfriend anymore, so I have no reason not to bear it..."
The next night, they went to Uto to watch "Thirteen Days" together, which was proposed by Cao Ye.
Although I said early in the morning that I would watch "Thirteen Days" together, I couldn't make time.
Huang Ying opened Uto's door and they walked to the small cinema to sit down.
The picture turned from thick to light, and the curtains on the screen were pulled open.
Tick, tick, tick, the water leaking from the ceiling dripped into the enamel basin on the ground.
The woman's loud voice rang: "Xiaoman - hurry up and heat the water on No. 17."
"I understand." A somewhat reluctant voice came from the inner room, and the camera slowly turned around. Xiaoman, played by Liang Sizhe, bowed his back slightly and lay on the old wooden table to do his homework. He raised his hand and turned on the recording machine with a "splash", got up and walked out with his slippers.
Cao Ye had never seen this movie, but every shot of this movie made him feel very familiar. Suddenly he found that he seemed to have already depicted the scene of Liang Sizhe playing Xiaoman many times in his mind.
This film is full of shadows of their time with Yin Si, and Cao Ye even remembers what they were doing when discussing the plot.
Xiaoman followed Peng Yan during this period. He walked backwards on Yinsi Street, and Liang Sizhe followed Xiaobai next to him.
Peng Yan taught Xiaoman to smoke, he was a little sleepy. He lay on Liang Sizhe's bed and asked Liang Sizhe in a daze if he had smoked. Liang Sizhe said he had smoked, and Cao Ye was no longer sleepy at once. He grabbed him and asked questions, and said that he would buy a pack of cigarettes to smoke. Liang Sizhe raised his finger and flicked his forehead.
There is also the part where Xiaoman killed someone. They sat on the rooftop. Liang Sizhe said that the reason why Xiaoman suddenly broke out was because his fantasy of life was shattered.
Memories are everywhere.
When the film ended, the subtitles began to scroll. They sat in their seats and waited for the end of the film staff to roll all the names of the ending staff to finish. Liang Sizhe took his coat and was about to get up when a sentence suddenly rang out in the small cinema: "Then... do you miss me? I miss you very much, Brother Sizhe."
Liang Sizhe was very familiar with the crisp, youthful voice, that was Cao Ye, who was still young on Yinsi Street ten years ago.
Chapter completed!
