After three rounds of drinking, Xu Yan is the protagonist.
Xu Yan can drink, but his alcohol tolerance is not very good. When he first entered the circle, he was too obscure and couldn't even shoot third-rate scripts. He was called to the dinner because of his good-looking face and figure. The producer wanted to give him a chance and made him drink a lot of wine. Later, Xu Yan's ears were tinnitus due to drinking. He couldn't hear Cheng Xinlu calling him,
which scared Cheng Xinlu and she never allowed him to drink again. Lu Jiahong is not so meticulous. He is extremely meticulous only when filming. At other times, he is very casual. The full cup of white wine was clinked in front of Xu Yan, who was already drunk, "Not bad, Xu Yan, listen to me, once the movie is released, you will be destined to play the protagonist in the future."
Xu Yan was humble, and the mouth of the cup kept lowering, clinking glasses with Lu Jiahong.
Lu Jiahong glanced at Liang Yisheng who was sitting there and shook his head, "Liang Yisheng is not good enough. He was too arrogant when he was young. He learned it from his mother. If it weren't for the role of Sheng Yan, he wouldn't be popular. Do you believe it?"
Xu Yan turned his head to take a peek at Liang Yisheng, and Zhang Yuanyi said something in front of him. Both of them looked impatient. Zhang Yuanyi handed over his mobile phone. Liang Yisheng took a look and stood up and left his seat.
"He has a bad personality. Listen to me, he is not worthy of you." Lu Jiahong raised his head and drank a glass of wine. His expression was distorted by the spiciness. He grinned and relaxed for a long time.
"Director, you can't say that." Xu Yan brought the tea to Lu Jiahong across the seat, "Please drink some tea slowly."
"Drinking tea on the table?! Kid!" Lu Jiahong sneered, looking very dissatisfied. The wine glass that Xu Yan had put down silently was pushed in front of Xu Yan again by him, "Kid, you don't know how to drink?"
Xu Yan sighed. He had already drunk quite a lot before, and his cheeks were a little red at this moment, but he was not drunk to the point of being drunk. Not wanting to spoil Lu Jiahong's fun, Cheng Xinlu, who had been staring at him, quickly intercepted the wine glass before he picked it up, and put on a smile that showed how she was serving her sponsor, "Director Lu, our Xiao Xu has tinnitus when he drinks, his ears... you know that."
Lu Jiahong felt bored, waved his hand to let the little kid play, and turned to continue drinking with the photography brother.
"Go out for a breath, you're drunk, and someone will definitely come over to drink with you later, you can't drink anymore." Cheng Xinlu put down the wine glass and hurried Xu Yan out to hide for a while.
Xu Yan nodded, and slipped out without taking the coat on the back of the chair for fear of making too much noise. In the noisy drinking party, Xu Yan raised his hand and rubbed his ears. He had said before that he didn't want to go out to set the table out of selfish motives. He felt it was noisy and tiring.
There was no warm air in the corridor, and his mind suddenly became much clearer. The hotel's decoration style is magnificent. The chandelier in the lobby has countless sparkling crystal pendants, which refract the light into various colors, dazzling the eyes. There
was a person sitting on the sofa in the lobby. Xu Yan stood at the entrance of the corridor, not knowing whether he should go to the lobby.
But Liang Yisheng had already seen him.
Liang Yisheng was on the phone, and Xu Yan couldn't hear what he said because of the noise of people coming and going. He turned around and wanted to leave. Just as he was about to move his eyes away from Liang Yisheng, he saw him lip-syncing to him. Xu Yan is very good at reading lips and can easily tell that it is the word "wait a minute". He was stunned for a while, not knowing whether it was said to the person on the phone or to himself.
Liang Yisheng frowned again. He was often seen frowning recently, and his temper seemed to be getting worse and worse.
He raised his hand and pointed to the phone next to his ear, still mouthing, "Wait until I finish this call."
This person just sat on the sofa in the lobby without wearing a mask. The hotel is not a private club, and the front desk staff never put down their mobile phones. Xu Yan was helpless. He walked over to the front desk and knocked on the marble countertop with a smile on his face. "I'm sorry, the crew is having dinner here today. You can take pictures, but if you record a video, please don't post it online, okay?"
The three young ladies gathered at the front desk were very young, about twenty years old. When they saw Xu Yan coming, they quickly put down their phones and nodded vigorously. "I'm sorry, we were so excited that we recognized Liang Yisheng that we couldn't believe it! We'll only send it to our friends and won't post it online."
Xu Yan smiled at them.
The short-haired girl who had been silent beside him suddenly spoke up, "You are Mr. Xu Yan, right? Are you from the crew of "Shadow"?" Seeing Xu Yan nod, she quickly continued, "Teacher, I like this novel very much, and I am also looking forward to the movie you made. I have read your Qingshu, and I like it very much! It is exactly the same as I imagined when I read the novel!" This
was the first time that Xu Yan faced such a situation. He had always been criticized for the roles he played, and he had rarely encountered such a situation as being praised by passers-by for his good acting. First, because most of the roles he played before were original web dramas, and even if some of them had original works, they were not so popular that the original fans were everywhere; second, not many people knew him, and even if there were, most of them knew him because of Liang Yisheng, and they did not have a good impression of him.
"Can you give me an autograph?" The short-haired girl said as she turned around and started looking for a notebook. Seeing that she was so brave to ask for an autograph, her two companions said they wanted one too.
Maybe she didn't like him that much, but people who have nothing to do with the entertainment industry don't have many opportunities to see stars in their lifetime. If she meets one, no matter if he's popular or not, or if she likes him or not, she has to ask for his autograph.
The girl found a notepad, and when Xu Yan opened it, he saw that the front was filled with life notes. For example, how much is the water and electricity bill this month, what scale is on the gas meter, and what vegetables are in the refrigerator.
She hurriedly turned to a blank page and placed it in front of Xu Yan, handing him a signature pen.
Xu Yan has beautiful hands. He is thin and has fair skin. Boys' joints are more prominent than girls', making people unable to take their eyes off him. The hand holding the black signature pen stretched out its fingertips, which were sharp and beautiful, and the word "Xu Yan" flowed out smoothly from the tip of the pen.
There was a notebook and two sheets of paper in front of him. When he finished writing the second copy, the signature pen in his hand was taken away by a hand behind him. He could only hear the three girls gasping for air, and under the word "Xu Yan", there was an additional "Liang Yisheng".
"Oh my God, thank you Mr. Liang! I... I really like you for a long time! I will definitely keep this signature well!" The girl with a ponytail covered her mouth and screamed softly.
Liang Yisheng was very patient. He signed three copies without saying a word and handed the pen back to Xu Yan. Xu Yan only wrote two copies. He knew in his heart that people might not want his signature in the first place, not to mention Liang Yisheng's now. He asked the girl with the ponytail in a half-joking tone, "Do I still need a signature?"
The girl with the ponytail was still covering her mouth and pinching her companion's arm with one hand. It was obvious that she was too excited. When she heard Xu Yan's question, she shook her head subconsciously, "No, no, Mr. Liang's signature is enough."
Xu Yan smiled helplessly and returned the pen to the short-haired girl.
The short-haired girl glanced at him, with some cautious tentativeness in her eyes, and glanced at her companion unhappily.
Xu Yan didn't care, and whispered thank you, "Thank you for your love, I hope you won't be disappointed when the movie is released."
He turned around and wanted to leave, but when he turned around, he found that Liang Yisheng was still leaning against the front desk, and gently tugged at the corner of his clothes, "Teacher Liang?"
Liang Yisheng lowered his eyes, and seemed to glance at Xu Yan who stretched out his hand to grab his hand. Then he raised his chin and looked at the girl with a ponytail. He said in a bad tone, "Can you give me back my autograph?"
The girl with a ponytail and Xu Yan were both stunned.
The girl handed the autograph paper to Liang Yisheng without knowing why, and had no idea what she was doing. Liang Yisheng crumpled the paper into a ball and stuffed it into his trouser pocket. "Sorry, I don't want to give it to you."
Then he pushed Xu Yan who was standing in front of him and was stunned. "Let's go."
Liang Yisheng had long legs and big steps. He walked a long way in two steps.
Xu Yan trotted a few steps to catch up with him, and fell behind him. He wanted to say something and ask him why he was like this. How could he ask for back the autograph he had given away? Isn't he afraid that she will stop being his fan? Isn't he afraid that she will post on social media and say bad things about him? Even if he is not afraid, there is no need to be like this with his fans. Even if he is very famous, he should cherish every fan.
He opened his mouth but felt that he didn't know where to start. First, he is not his agent, and second, he is not his boss. Naturally, he has no right to ask about or interfere with his actions.
He has never been the one who can speak well, and he always makes mistakes when he talks too much in front of Liang Yisheng. He is afraid that he will be accused of "crossing the line" again.
"Why did you come out?" Liang Yisheng spoke first.
Xu Yan came back to his senses and explained, "I can't drink much, I'm afraid of spoiling everyone's mood. I just came out to get some fresh air." At the end, he still whispered a question, "How about you?"
"I took a call and took care of some things." Liang Yisheng replied.
The two people stood not far from the door of the private room. Liang Yisheng looked around and didn't see the sign prohibiting smoking. He touched his pocket and the cigarette box was already in his hand. When he touched the cigarette box, he felt a wrinkled and bulging ball of paper in his pocket. He felt annoyed when he thought about it, so he pinched it out and wanted to throw it into the trash can next to him.
"Hey." Xu Yan stretched out his hand and grabbed it, "Can you give it to me?"
Liang Yisheng held the cigarette in his mouth and replied after a long time, "I'll sign it for you again if you want."
"I don't want you to throw this away. If someone picks it up, they will think that Teacher Liang's autograph is worthless and can be picked up from any trash can." When Xu Yan said this, there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were curved. The light in the corridor shone, and a faint light was reflected next to his pupils.
"I've dealt with the matter of next week and Xi Nian." Liang Yisheng said inexplicably.
Xu Yan listened quietly, took the piece of paper from Liang Yisheng's hand, unfolded it and looked at it. It was crumpled by Liang Yisheng, but the three words Liang Yisheng were still elegant and unrestrained.
"I gave him resources before to do a favor for a friend. I didn't mean it that way. I heard... he set you up when you got into trouble before. I didn't handle it well, it's my fault." Liang Yisheng said.
Xu Yan looked at the three words on the paper, light and dark interlaced. On the other two signature papers, his own name was above these three words.
