There is only one bathroom for men and women in the dormitory, which was converted by the crew by dismantling two toilets. The space is much larger than a room and can accommodate an electric heater. Due to limited conditions, Xu Yan can only take a shower once every three days, and each time he takes a shower, it is in the middle of the night and there is no one queuing.
The bathroom is very empty. Because there is an electric heater, there are some safety hazards. The heater can only be placed at the door, and the door cannot be closed tightly. A gap must be left for the wire to go outside the door. If you don't pour hot water on your body, you will quickly get cold in the sub-zero temperature.
Xu Yan's hair was soaked in water and hung down to cover his shoulders. It is difficult to clearly distinguish his gender from his naked back. The mist cast a hazy filter on the bathroom, and the lines of his shoulders and back were extremely soft, as if they could be crushed into anyone's arms with a light embrace.
This is the scene Liang Yisheng saw when he pushed the door open.
The sound of the shower just covered the creaking sound of the old door frame. Xu Yan felt the chill, wiped his face, turned around and saw Liang Yisheng standing at the door.
!!! Xu Yan's
eyes widened instantly, and he randomly pulled something from the side that he didn't know whether it was clothes or pants to cover his important parts, and pressed his back against the tile wall behind him.
The cold touch, the chill ran up his spine to his head.
Xu Yan could vaguely hear Liang Yisheng talking, probably words of apology, but all he could hear was his own pounding heartbeat and the hot water flowing down his head. Unable to hear what Liang Yisheng said, he raised his hand and pressed his right ear, and his red ear turned outward.
"Uh, it's okay. I thought you wouldn't be back today." Xu Yan whispered.
"If you come back tomorrow morning, you can't sleep tonight, so I just came back overnight." Liang Yisheng said, "Sorry, you go wash first."
"Hey!" Xu Yan saw Liang Yisheng turned around and wanted to leave, and hurriedly took a step forward, but then thought that the awkward situation was not a suitable occasion to talk, "Teacher Liang, I'm done washing, is it convenient for me to go to your room and talk a few words later?"
In the afternoon, Xu Yan proposed to ask Liang Yisheng for help. Cheng Xinlu naturally did not support it, but it was indeed the best way.
In Xiao Yuan's opinion, Liang Yisheng should be asked for this matter, and Liang Yisheng would definitely help. Xiao Yuan is simple-minded and sees things simply. After hearing Cheng Xinlu say that Liang Yisheng and Xu Yan are grasshoppers on the same rope many times, he really believes it. He even thinks that these two people may really have a relationship.
Contract lovers, pretending to be real, sponsors and canaries, aren't these what are written in novels and TV.
But Cheng Xinlu and Xu Yan both know in their hearts that he is not worthy of standing in the same camp with Liang Yisheng. Liang Yisheng can dump Xu Yan with any means and make him unable to get up. There are always some naive people who think that being in the entertainment industry is really all about looks, strength and acting skills, but capital is the biggest winner.
Xu Yan's hair was not blown dry in time, and it stuck to his cheeks wetly.
Liang Yisheng looked up at him and saw that he was wearing a light blue pajamas, and he looked very clean and natural.
"Is the crew on break today?" Liang Yisheng motioned Xu Yan to sit on a chair, and casually took the thermos next to him and poured a cup of hot water for Xu Yan.
Xu Yan thanked him and nodded, "Director Lu said that the progress has been too tight these days, and he should take it easy."
Liang Yisheng smiled, "Lu Jiahong is just a little impatient and occasionally stubborn. But he is not a bad person, and his professionalism is impeccable."
"I know it's my honor to work with Teacher Liang and Director Lu."
Liang Yisheng always had a smile on his face and closed the script in his hand. "You came to me in the middle of the night just to say these polite words?"
Xu Yan pursed his lips and took out a stack of photos from the wide pocket of his pajamas like a magician and handed them to Liang Yisheng. "My sister is a fan of yours. She thought you and I were a couple, so she asked me to get some autographed photos for her."
Liang Yisheng looked at the at least dozens of photos in front of him and said half-jokingly, "Is your sister an autograph seller?"
Xu Yan looked at it a little embarrassedly. "I don't mean to ask you to sign. If you are willing, you can sign or not, or sign as many as you want."
Liang Yisheng had just returned not long ago, and the heater in the room had just been turned on. It would take a while for the temperature to come up. It was only slightly warmer than the corridor at this moment, and the little heat from Xu Yan's shower had all dissipated.
The air was foggy as he spoke.
"Leave it there, I'll sign it when I have time," Liang Yisheng said.
Xu Yan put the photo on the table beside him, and the cup of hot water that Liang Yisheng had just poured for him had lost its steam after a few words. Xu Yan reached out and touched it, and it was still hot.
"Just come here to get my autograph?" Liang Yisheng asked.
It seemed to be a similar situation in that hotel a year ago.
After explaining his situation to Liang Yisheng, Xu Yan was not sure whether he would believe him, and he dared not continue to sit on the bed. He sat on the chair after getting dressed. He did not dare to contact Cheng Xinlu easily with his phone in his hand, for fear that Liang Yisheng would misunderstand.
Liang Yisheng looked down at him. Liang Yisheng made his debut in action films in his early years, and played a lot of messy roles. They were all policemen with strong auras, gang bosses, etc., so that when he stood in front of people, they would unconsciously want to retreat from his sight.
"Teacher Liang, I know you may not believe what I said. Can I call my life assistant now? I guess he has blocked me." Xu Yan said.
Liang Yisheng didn't say anything.
Xu Yan bravely called Liu Zhi in front of Liang Yisheng, and the other party was temporarily unavailable.
Liu Zhi was bribed, and Xu Yan's guess was somewhat confirmed.
"Teacher Liang, if you believe me, you will definitely think that the other party is not targeting me. I am just an ordinary little actor and no one knows me at all."
No one would go to such lengths to mess with a little unknown actor. At that time, Xu Yan was not even worthy of playing the leading role in a third-rate web drama. At that time, Liang Yisheng was competing with another actor of the same level for a Lunar New Year film. There have been rumors that Liang Yisheng is gay, but he has never clarified it.
Lunar New Year films are urban fantasy romance themes. If Liang Yisheng can be labeled as a homosexual at this juncture, it is obvious who will benefit.
Cheng Xinlu has always told Xu Yan not to think too much, saying that Liang Yisheng is no longer just an actor, but also a businessman, and he is just pursuing profit and avoiding harm for himself. The right opportunity is in front of him, and Xu Yan is an unimportant person, so it is naturally a good time to come out. In short, if he is given a Lunar New Year slot, he will definitely lose it. It is better to use Xu Yan as a shield. It will definitely be more disadvantageous to Xu Yan to announce it now. When Liang Yisheng really falls in love in the future, there will be fewer people who scold him. Maybe
Cheng Xinlu is right, but Xu Yan has always been unwilling to think so. He always feels that if someone wants to label him as a homosexual, he will just admit it. Liang Yisheng doesn't care whether he is scolded or not. He doesn't want to play in the Lunar New Year slot that will be lost because of his homosexuality.
He is not a businessman, but the actor Liang Yisheng.
The temperature in the room gradually rose, and Xu Yan sat next to the heater, his cheeks flushed from the heat.
He fixed his eyes on Liang Yisheng's face, the face that appeared in all the clips, licked his lips and nodded, "Yes, it's just an autograph. I'm sorry to bother you with such a small matter so late, Teacher Liang."
Xu Yan stood up and said, "Well, you have a good rest, I will..."
"Xu Yan." A voice called him, "Do you have anything else to do?"
Liang Yisheng should not know about the marketing account. After all, a marketing account just said some ambiguous words, and public opinion has not yet fermented, nor has it been on the hot search. He is a movie emperor who just came back from the CCTV Lantern Festival Gala. He is not so bored that he lives on Weibo like Xiao Yuan.
Xu Yan shook his head, "It's okay, you have a good rest, good night."
"Okay." Liang Yisheng replied with one word and closed the door.
Twenty-four hours later, the email was sent in the afternoon.
Cheng Xinlu didn't sleep well last night, and she didn't feel like catching up in the morning. She got up earlier than the crew who had to start work early in the morning. Xu Yan yawned and opened the door to see Cheng Xinlu waiting at the door.
"I heard that Liang Yisheng came back last night. Did he start work with you in the morning? When do you plan to talk to him about this? Time is running out."
Xu Yan's mind was still confused. It was too difficult to get up from the warm bed and go out in the winter in the north. He looked at Cheng Xinlu for a while, then slowly recalled what happened last night, "Ah, I ran into him last night."
"Randomly? What did he say, was he willing?" Cheng Xinlu dragged Xu Yan back to the room and carefully closed the door.
Xu Yan was helpless, "I didn't say anything."
"Didn't say anything?!" Cheng Xinlu unconsciously raised her voice, then reacted and relaxed her tone, "Yeah, I ran into him in the middle of the night, when I got up to go to the bathroom? It's really not the right time, so when are you going to say it?"
Xu Yan almost came to his senses, "Sister Cheng, I don't plan to ask Teacher Liang for help."
Cheng Xinlu was busy this morning, refreshing her Weibo entries from time to time to see if there was any new activity. She would sigh every five minutes, and Xiao Yuan, who was squatting beside her, would sigh after a while.
"Tell me, tell me what's going on in your teacher Xu's head? Today he said he would stay away from Liang Yisheng, tomorrow he said he would ask Liang Yisheng for help, and the day after tomorrow he said he regretted it."
Xu Yan didn't explain why he suddenly regretted it. He still had to film in the morning. No matter what, work was more important. Everything had to wait until the lunch break. But Cheng Xinlu roughly understood in her heart that it had not been long since Xu Yan made up his mind to keep a distance from Liang Yisheng, all because Xu Yan respected Liang Yisheng in his heart. If
you respect someone, you have to stay away from him. If you respect someone, you will subconsciously want to seek help from him when you are in trouble, and want to be valued. But when the time comes, you feel that you should not disturb him and should not waste his attention on you.
Xu Yan didn't like to hear her doubt Liang Yisheng's words, and she didn't like her saying that Liang Yisheng was a businessman or selfish. It's not a love brain, but it's more helpless than a love brain.
"How about, sister, let's go talk to the boss? Isn't Teacher Xu willing? He just changed his mind temporarily. If we go to the boss without permission, Teacher Xu shouldn't be too angry, right? Otherwise, there's nothing we can do. We can't really give him two million, and we can't let him release the video!" Xiao Yuan whispered in front of Cheng Xinlu, his eyes glued to Liang Yisheng's agent.
Liang Yisheng's agent came here today for some reason. "Shadow" has been filming for nearly half a month, and Liang Yisheng is followed by his life assistant. This is the first time his agent has appeared in the crew.
While Xiao Yuan was talking, Liang Yisheng's agent suddenly stood up and interrupted the filming, which made Xiao Yuan's heart shudder.
As expected, Lu Jiahong looked unhappy, but he didn't get angry.
Liang Yisheng's agent first apologized to Lu Jiahong, and then quickly whispered something in Liang Yisheng's ear. Liang Yisheng nodded, took his mobile phone and took a look, and then made a gesture to indicate that the filming could continue.
Cheng Xinlu didn't see what just happened, and didn't respond to Xiao Yuan's bad idea. She was concentrating on browsing Weibo.
Xiao Yuan poked her, "Sister? What should I do?"
"I... go!" Cheng Xinlu was surprised and swore, and Xiao Yuan looked at her mobile phone.
It was a lawyer's letter that Liang Yisheng's studio had just sent.
"#梁奕生许岩# Recently we have noticed many false comments about artist Mr. Xu Yan on the Internet. Mr. Liang Yisheng and Mr. Xu Yan are legitimate lovers in a free love relationship. Please stop all personal attacks on Mr. Xu Yan, otherwise we will pursue legal responsibility at all costs!"
