Chapter 19



Two or three hours after the live broadcast ended, the entry for the live broadcast of "The Legend of Yun Lan" was on the hot search list. In addition, there were separate hot searches for the male and female protagonists. Although Du Yuanzhe attracted some attention during the live broadcast, it was not yet popular enough to be on the hot search list. Only some people mentioned him in the hot searches for "The Legend of Yun Lan".

Du Yuanzhe was relieved. He couldn't imagine what it would be like if the entry "Du Yuanzhe showing off his abs" became a hot search. To him, this kind of hot search was almost the same as social death.

As soon as he returned to the hotel after filming in the evening, Du Yuanzhe received a call from Xia Ningmi.

"Mr. Xia?"

Today is not the weekend.

Xia Ningmi asked calmly, "What's going on with today's live broadcast?"

"In order to increase the popularity of the play, Director Wang started a two-hour live broadcast on the set."

"I'm asking about your role."

Du Yuanzhe didn't expect Xia Ningmi to know about this, and felt awkward for some reason. He complained, "Director Wang insisted on broadcasting live while I was filming the healing scene. I don't understand what's so good about just showing off my abs."

I really want to see abdominal muscles. There are many photos of bodybuilders showing them off on the Internet.

Xia Ningmi silently took note of Wang Ligang's mistake in her heart.

"Luckily it didn't become a trending topic, otherwise I would have to pay out of my own pocket to make it a trending topic."

Xia Ning said, "Qianying Entertainment does not need artists to take off their clothes to gain popularity. Don't do this anymore in the future. If a director asks you to do so, you can ask your agent to report it to the company, and the company will make the decision for you."

Du Yuanzhe was delighted and said with a smile, "That's great. I don't like these either. I used to think that as long as the drama was good, I could accept even intimate scenes. But after what happened today, I found that it's not that simple. In the future, I still want to take more dramas without emotional scenes."

He doesn't think he is being pretentious. No one says that men shouldn't mind doing intimate scenes.

Xia Ningmi said: "Emotional scenes are never a necessity. Even if you avoid them, you still have many options. Some works without emotional scenes have still won many awards."

Du Yuanzhe also thought so and said, "Mr. Xia and I think the same. The next movie I want to shoot is of this type."

Xia Ningmi: "Du Yuanwen is already discussing the investment with Xu Cheng, and your role will be decided soon."

Du Yuanzhe complimented, "Mr. Xia is indeed well-informed."

Du Yuanwen told Du Yuanzhe yesterday that the cooperation between Du and Xu Cheng could be finalized within half a month.

Xia Ningmi said calmly: "If you are cut off from information in the entertainment industry, it is easy to be cheated."

In the entertainment industry, just a little information miscommunication can ruin a person's reputation.

bite--

As soon as she hung up the phone, Xia Ningmi received a new message on WeChat.

Cheng Yu: "President, the money for today's trending search has been transferred."

Du Yuanzhe, who knew nothing about it, was still congratulating himself for saving some money.

......

The publicity effect of the live broadcast was very good. "The Legend of Yun Lan" was temporarily popular and the crew once again entered a crazy filming mode.

Among the main actors, You Yingxue had the least roles, and her role was finished in mid-December.

On the day of wrapping, Zhou Chenlang appeared on the set and specially invited the entire crew to dinner to thank the crew for taking care of You Yingxue.

During the filming period, Zhou Chenlang came basically once every half a month, and was very generous every time he came. The crew members were very fond of this generous young man who did not have the bad habits of the second generation of rich people.

This time he treated everyone who was free to attend, including several actors such as Du Yuanzhe.

Zhou Chenlang raised his glass to Du Yuanzhe and said, "I wish the Second Young Master a bright future."

Du Yuanzhe said, "Thank you."

Afterwards, Zhou Chenlang accompanied You Yingxue to toast the male and female protagonists in turn.

The two stood side by side. Although Zhou Chenlang spoke more, he was not the one who occupied the main position between the two. No matter what decision he made, he would ask for You Yingxue's opinion and take You Yingxue's feelings into consideration no matter whether it was a big or small matter.

The other actresses in the crew were jealous of You Yingxue for finding such a gentle, considerate and wealthy boyfriend, and silently lamented why they did not have such good luck.

Xiao Pang whispered in Du Yuanzhe's ear: "I heard a piece of gossip a few days ago. It is said that You Yingxue wanted to get close to Jiang Chelin at first, and being with Zhou Chenlang was an accident."

Du Yuanzhe looked at the two people who looked like a perfect match not far away, and could not judge the truth of the gossip. Zhou Chenlang had very few roles in the novel. He only knew that after Zhou Heng died in a car accident, Zhou Chenlang inherited the company, and You Yingxue was not even mentioned.

However, one thing is certain, You Yingxue is a very ambitious woman.

They had had conflicts before, but when they met again on the set, You Yingxue took the initiative to make peace, which is not something everyone can do.

As for that gossip, whether it is true or not depends on whether Zhou Chenlang can satisfy You Yingxue's ambition.

Du Yuanzhe was a little uninterested. The entertainment industry was really not suitable for romance.

Today two people may be in love with each other, but tomorrow they may stab you in the back and then step on your corpse to get to the top.

After You Yingxue finished filming, Du Yuanzhe's part was also coming to an end. I don't know if it was Wang Ligang's deliberate arrangement, but he happened to shoot his last scene the day before New Year's Day.

December 31st

Du Yuanzhe only has one last scene today, and it is also the scene where Luo Xun dies.

Luo Xun had previously challenged the Tianjian Sect to a duel of life and death with Yun Lan, the new master of the Tianjian Sect. The two would fight to the death in this battle.

In fact, Luo Xun had decided to sacrifice his life for Yun Lan's fame long before the duel.

Filming location, in front of the screen

Luo Xun fell to the ground, his spotless black robe was soaked with blood, and the color turned dark.

Yun Lan stared blankly at the sword in his hand: "Why don't you dodge?"

He could have clearly dodged this sword.

Luo Xun looked at the dim sky, and the arrogance that had once been on his face disappeared. He remembered the first time he met Yun Lan.

"We first met at the foot of this mountain. We fell in love at first sight and have never forgotten it."

"Back then, my hands were clean, and I had never become the person you hate. That was when we were closest, but it didn't last long. But I don't regret it. I was too weak at the time to protect you."

Yunlan looked away.

The different stances made her unable to say any words of comfort. She went into the fight with the determination to kill Luo Xun, and even now she still felt this way.

Blood gushed out from the corners of Luo Xun's mouth, his heart and lungs were in unbearable pain, but his facial expression did not change at all.

"Yun Lan, after I die, can you bury me at the foot of the mountain?"

Yun Lan didn't reply.

Luo Xun smiled bitterly, closed his eyes, and allowed his consciousness to be eroded by the darkness.

"Card!"

Du Yuanzhe stood up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Wang Ligang put down his headset and said, "I declare that Luo Xun's role is officially over."

As soon as he finished speaking, staff members presented him with a bouquet of flowers, and everyone present congratulated him on his death.

Du Yuanzhe held the flowers and kept saying thank you: "Thank you everyone."

Wang Ligang said loudly: "Thank you Yuanzhe for your efforts over the past four months. I have already reserved a seat and will hold a banquet for you later."

"You're too polite, Director. I should be the one thanking you."

Du Yuanzhe was very excited when the filming of his first movie was finished. He accepted all the toasts at the wrap-up party and soon his face turned red from drinking.

By the time the celebration was over, Du Yuanzhe was already losing consciousness and was supported by Xiaopang and Liu Xu back to the hotel.

the next day

Du Yuanzhe sat up suddenly and said in panic, "The plane is delayed."

He booked a flight for this morning.

Xiao Pang, who was sitting outside, heard the noise and came in and said, "Don't worry, Brother Zhe, I've already changed the ticket."

Looking at Du Yuanzhe's appearance last night, we knew that he couldn't get up. Liu Xu took the others back to the company first and asked Xiaopang to accompany Du Yuanzhe on the next flight.

Du Yuanzhe breathed a sigh of relief: "That's fine."

Xiao Pang said, "Brother Zhe, you should drink less in the future."

Du Yuanzhe said: "Yesterday was a special case. I will pay attention to it in the future."

Mainly because he was in a good mood yesterday, and with Liu Xu and the other person around, Du Yuanzhe drank without any scruples.

His alcohol tolerance is not bad, it is better than that of most people, but no matter how good the alcohol tolerance is, he cannot resist drinking one cup after another. Last night, many people were shocked by Du Yuanzhe's heavy drinking.

"What time is the flight?"

"Four o'clock in the afternoon."

Du Yuanzhe winked at Xiaopang and asked, "Xiaopang, do you want to try the spicy hot pot?"

Xiaopang was shocked: "Brother Liu will be angry if he finds out."

Du Yuanzhe waved his hands: "The filming has been completed, and I don't have any schedule recently. Even if I really get acne due to inflammation, it's okay. Besides, it's only one meal and it won't be a problem."

No one can resist the charm of hotness.

Xiaopang only hesitated for a moment before agreeing.

The two were enjoying their meal when Liu Xu called.

"Why is it so noisy over there?"

Xiaopang said honestly: "Brother Zhe is taking me to eat hot pot."

Liu Xu's eyebrows jumped: "Mushroom soup?"

“Spicy!”

He just knew it.

Liu Xu said helplessly: "Don't forget the plane."

The emperor is far away and the sky is high. Since I can't control it, I just don't care.

Du Yuanzhe took a big bite of beef and said, "Don't worry, Brother Liu. We'll remember it."

Liu Xu said unhappily, "You have ruined Xiaopang."

Du Yuanzhe ordered a few more plates of meat and said, "It's just a hot pot meal. You can't take away my love for it."

Du Yuanzhe can’t eat spicy food very well, but he particularly likes spicy food, and his favorite is spicy hot pot.

Liu Xu didn't bother talking to him. He reminded them again not to miss the plane and then hung up the phone.

Half an hour later, the two walked out of the hot pot restaurant contentedly and returned to the hotel. After packing their luggage, they rushed to the airport.

Yanzhou Airport

Xiaopang pushed the luggage and followed Du Yuanzhe out of the airport. The driver Wu Xing was waiting for them outside the airport.

"Brother Zhe, are you going to the company or going home?"

Du Yuanzhe leaned comfortably in the back seat and said, "Let's go directly back to Huahu Apartment."

After the renovation was completed, he didn't even take a look at it.

......

Du Yuanzhe sent Xiaopang and the other man away and went home alone with his suitcase.

用鑰匙打開家門,杜元哲看着已經大變的房間,心裏滿是新奇感,将行李放在玄關,他開始參觀已經改造成複式公寓的新家。

咔嚓——

杜元哲循聲望去,就見夏凝覓穿着家居服出現在二樓走廊。

兩人通話的時候不少,但都是聽聲音看不到人,認真算起來,杜元哲已經有四個月沒見夏凝覓。

“夏總沒去上班?”

夏凝覓居高臨下地看他,目光一如既往地淡漠:“今天元旦,在家休息。”

【對哦,我差點忘了】

杜元哲道:“元旦該吃餃子,我們今晚包餃子吧。”

夏凝覓一聽要親自動手,皺眉道:“直接買不行嗎?”

杜元哲搖頭:“買的沒有靈魂,只有自己包的才好吃。”

夏凝覓還是很抗拒。

這時,杜元哲手機響了,是陳蓉珊打來的。

“元哲,記得回家吃餃子。”

杜元哲下意識看了夏凝覓一眼:“媽怎麽知道我回來了?”

陳蓉珊道:“不是你自己在微博發的殺青照嗎?”

杜元哲一聽就知道誰幹的:“我昨晚喝醉了,微博應該是經紀人發的。”

“別管誰發的,你現在趕緊回家。”

“我知道了。”

挂了電話,杜元哲抿嘴道:“我媽喊我回家吃餃子。”

夏凝覓愣了下,垂眸淡淡道:“我正好不想包餃子。”

杜元哲覺得留她一個人在家有些不合适,遲疑道:“要不你和我一起回去?”

夏凝覓:“別胡說,元旦是和家人團聚的日子。”

杜元哲笑道:“我們是男女朋友,你陪我回家不是理所當然嗎?”

【這個借口還真是屢試不爽】

夏凝覓擡眸,目光落在他身上:“我們都知道是假的,不是嗎?”

杜元哲尴尬了:“可你一個人留在家裏太......”

“杜元哲,”夏凝覓打斷他:“我不是第一次自己過元旦。”

杜元哲抿嘴,他只是覺得和夏凝覓打了這麽長時間游戲,他們最起碼算是朋友,不忍心讓她一個人過元旦。

但夏凝覓遠比他想象得堅強很多,他以為的只是他以為,他不能自以為是替夏凝覓做決定。

杜元哲道:“那我走了。”

夏凝覓點頭。

随後,杜元哲連衣服都沒有換就離開了,行李箱依舊放在玄關。

夏凝覓看着再次變得空蕩的房間,目光恢複了冷漠,身上沒有一點人類該有的情感。

只是一個人過元旦而已,她早已習慣。

從她有記憶起,夏憶瑤和周衡就沒有陪她過過元旦,他們總會在元旦出去旅游,把她一個人丢給保姆。

後來夏憶瑤和周衡離婚,覺得她是拖油瓶,就把她扔給夏老爺子管。

在老宅住的那幾年,依舊沒有人陪她過元旦,夏老爺子認為元旦應該一家人團圓,但夏憶瑤根本不回家,夏老爺子覺得不圓滿索性就不過元旦。

至于餃子,夏凝覓長這麽大都沒吃過幾次,她早就忘了餃子是什麽味道。

如果不是杜元哲提起,夏凝覓這輩子都不會想起這種在常人看來很普遍的食物。

......

杜家老宅

陳蓉珊一見到杜元哲就是一陣關心:“元哲這次回來是真的瘦了。”

杜永椋瞥她:“原來你也知道之前都是假的。”

陳蓉珊不搭理他,道:“元哲,拍戲是不是很累?我看網上有些演員拍戲得一遍遍地演,有時候能演到淩晨。”

杜元哲道:“大家都是這樣。”

“那你之前也沒這麽累啊。”

“我之前那是戲份少。”

“我們以後繼續演戲份少的不行嗎?過過瘾就行了。”

杜元哲推着陳蓉珊坐下,道:“媽,我難得對演戲感興趣,您總不能真的讓我一輩子混吃等死吧,人家都罵我是廢物。”

陳蓉珊怒了:“誰罵的?媽去找他們算賬。”

杜元哲道:“人家又沒說錯。”

陳蓉珊:“元哲可不能這麽想,你爸賺這麽多錢本來就是為了你們兄弟兩,公司雖然給了你大哥,但該是你的一點都不會少,家裏有錢不需要拼死拼活工作又不是錯。”

“可演戲是我的愛好,難道我還不能有個愛好了?”

陳蓉珊見和他說不通,嘆氣道:“元哲,你和媽說實話,你想演戲到底是因為喜歡,還是為了那個叫衛菱菱的小明星?”

杜元哲一驚。

她怎麽知道的?

原主為了衛菱菱進娛樂圈這件事,誰都沒告訴,他也是愛面子的,在追上衛菱菱之前他誰都不打算說。

陳蓉珊看出他的驚訝,冷哼道:“你房間裏藏了一堆她的照片,還有一張和她的合照被你藏得更深,媽會猜不到你的心思?”

“幾個月前,吳姐就和我說你留了那個小明星過夜,我只是給你面子沒揭穿你。”

杜元哲苦笑,思索該怎麽處理原主留下的爛攤子。

陳蓉珊認真道:“元哲,媽不反對你喜歡那個小明星,你想給她買房買車也可以,但只有一點,她不能進杜家門。”

杜元哲本想說他現在不喜歡衛菱菱,可聽到這話下意識反駁道:“媽,我現在就是個小明星,這都是什麽時代了,您怎麽還有這種階級思想?”

陳蓉珊皺眉:“媽哪裏說錯了?別的不說,就說現在的娛樂圈,那些明星再有名氣不還是得讨好名導,而那些名導呢,拉投資時哪個不是陪着笑臉伏低做小!”

“誰求人辦事都是一樣,又不只是娛樂圈。”

“可兒子,你從出生起就有不需要求人的地位,為什麽要選個和你身份差那麽多的人當妻子?”

杜元哲心裏一陣煩躁,他前世是草根,真聽不得這種話。

陳蓉珊見杜元哲不耐,緩和語氣道:“媽也不是特別在意門戶之見,能找個門當戶對的自然好,如果實在不成,找個才華橫溢高學歷的也行。”

銅臭和書香總得占一樣。

反正衛菱菱是肯定不行,陳蓉珊覺得就是因為衛菱菱,杜元哲才會進娛樂圈,而且非要搬出去住,她想見兒子一面都不容易。

沒有一個當媽的,能忍受自己兒子有了媳婦忘了娘。

杜元聞夫妻下班回來後發現氣氛有些不對,問道:“元哲你又惹媽生氣了?”

杜元哲巴不得結束這個話題,站起身道:“我可沒有,就是和媽聊了聊。”

陳蓉珊知道這事一時半會解決不了,笑道:“既然都回來了,那就讓王姐煮餃子,王姐包了很多種餡,你們愛吃的都有。”

趙之夢道:“那我一會兒可要多吃幾個。”

“之夢确實應該多吃一些,總跟着元聞東奔西跑肯定累壞了。”

杜元聞得意道:“我們這是夫妻合璧,所向披靡。”

趙之夢捶了他一下:“好好說話。”

陳蓉珊輕聲道:“誰說門當戶對就一定是封建糟粕!”

趙家雖然比不得杜家,但确實算得上富戶,勉強稱得上門當戶對。

杜元哲知道陳蓉珊是故意說給自己聽,他只當沒聽到。

他從沒說門當戶對就是錯的,只是不喜歡陳蓉珊刻在骨子裏的偏見,前世的自己也在她的偏見之列。

一家人圍在一起吃了頓餃子,陳蓉珊臉上的笑容就沒有消失過,就連杜永椋臉上也多了些笑意。

雖然中間發生了一些不愉快,可杜元哲不想壞了陳蓉珊看到一家團聚的喜悅,不管再怎麽說,陳蓉珊是真的疼他。

“元哲,你的房間一直有人打掃,今晚你就在家裏住下。”

杜元哲點頭:“好。”

陳蓉珊笑得更開心了。

“媽又給你買了一些衣服,等你走的時候記得帶走。”

陳蓉珊仿佛總覺得杜元哲的衣服不夠用,熱衷給他買衣服。

杜元哲笑道:“媽給我選得衣服比我自己挑的合适多了,我今後參加活動就穿媽選得這些。”

陳蓉珊道:“這是讓你平時穿的,出席活動需要的衣服,我另外給你買。”

杜元哲咋舌。

......

晚上十一點,杜家人都已經回房間休息。

杜元哲躺在床上輾轉反側,想了想還是起來穿衣服,輕輕打開房門走出去。

花湖公寓

夏凝覓正坐在一樓客廳看文件,旁邊放着一杯快喝完的咖啡。

聽到開門聲傳來,她差點以為自己聽錯了,直到杜元哲提着袋子走進來。

杜元哲看到夏凝覓還沒睡并不驚訝,看了看牆上的表,道:“還有半個小時到十二點,正好能讓你在元旦結束前吃上餃子。”

夏凝覓看着他一回來就進廚房忙活,本來平淡的目光中多了一絲人情味。

杜元哲拿出鍋燒水,随口問道:“你喜歡吃什麽餡的?”

“随便。”

“家裏包了很多種餡,我只拿了豬肉,牛肉和海鮮三種,王姨做得很好吃,你一會兒嘗嘗就知道了。”

夏凝覓胃口不大,杜元哲一樣只煮了幾個。

煮好後,杜元哲盛到盤子裏放在桌上,随後倒了一小碟醋放在旁邊。

夏凝覓問道:“吃餃子要蘸醋嗎?”

她已經忘了自己以前吃的時候蘸不蘸醋。

Du Yuanzhe said: "It depends on personal habits. It doesn't matter whether you dip it in vinegar or not. I prefer to dip it in vinegar."

Xia Ningmi bent the hand holding the chopsticks, dipped them in the vinegar dish, put them to her mouth and took a bite.

"How is it? Is it delicious?"

Du Yuanzhe always thinks that dumplings are the most delicious food, and he will miss them especially if he doesn't eat them for a while.

Xia Ningmi nodded.

Even though she had already eaten dinner, Xia Ningmi still finished all the dumplings on the plate.

She put down her chopsticks, looked at Du Yuanzhe and asked, "Is this why you came back?"

Du Yuanzhe said: "It is our custom to eat dumplings on New Year's Day. I always feel that New Year's Day is not complete without eating dumplings."

"Is this worth coming back so late at night?"

Du Yuanzhe smiled and said, "It's not too late, you haven't slept yet."

Xia Ningmi said calmly, "Your room is on the left side of the stairs. I've put your suitcase in the room for you."

Du Yuanzhe felt that something was wrong with her and asked, "Boss Xia, are you worried about something?

Xia Ningmi stood in front of him, her expression gloomy: "Du Yuanzhe, are you still unwilling to tell me about my future?"

Du Yuanzhe's expression froze instantly.
