Five minutes later, Liang Yisheng called him. Three words jumped on the screen of his mobile phone, and the ringtone rang. Xu Yan looked at it for a while, but for some reason he didn't want to answer it. This emotion and impulse were not directed at Liang Yisheng, but because Xu Yan was confused about his current situation.
He knew that he was doing something very bad now, and he was rarely so willful.
But Xu Yan actually knew that he was not the person everyone thought he was. He had rebellion, desire, and the necessity to control his own life in his bones. These were accumulated little by little from his pale and powerless childhood, and piled up in the most secret and dark crevices in his body, and were opened by Liang Yisheng himself.
The first time was Liang Yisheng.
He saw Sheng Yan and Liang Yisheng on TV. After graduating from undergraduate finance, Xu Yan said he wanted to be an actor. A good kid who never took physical education classes and never went to any entertainment venues said he wanted to be an actor after graduating from college. Listen, any parent would think their child is crazy. What is an actor? It is not in their lives at all. Even if he said he wanted to be a writer or a painter, it was not so shocking.
Cheng Xinlu once asked Xu Yan if his parents were mad that he chose to be an actor. Xu Yan smiled and said a few words, saying that although his parents did not support him, they also expressed understanding. How is it possible? He said the beginning in one sentence, that he did not support him, and he also said the ending, that he understood him. He just didn't mention the days in between, the summer vacation when Director Xu thought he was crazy and told him to calm down so he locked him in his room.
But Xu Yan didn't blame Director Xu at all, he knew how unbelievable what he said was. Director Xu has been the Dean of Studies for several years, and he always has his way in front of students. He always feels that students don't have the ability to judge right from wrong, and he needs to be responsible for their lives. He has too much responsibility on his shoulders, and feels that every word he says is about the students' future. He is used to being arbitrary, and Xu Yan understands.
Fortunately, there are not too many sad scenes. No matter how arbitrary Director Xu is, he is still a reasonable person, and he calms down after his emotions pass. Both parents had a good talk with Xu Yan to make sure that he was not acting on impulse and had really decided how to choose his own life. After a period of tug-of-war, they finally agreed to let Xu Yan go his own way.
The second time was also Liang Yisheng.
When Xu Yan thought that he was willful enough and would continue to stay in the entertainment industry even if he ended up like this, Liang Yisheng put boxing gloves on him.
This may be a very ordinary thing in the eyes of many people, nothing more than a couple going out on a date and finding a date project. But for Xu Yan, it was not. It was Liang Yisheng who tempted him to face the desires that had been suppressed in his heart for so many years, tempting him to go deeper.
If he had to choose between happiness and life, Liang Yisheng would choose happiness.
This choice shocked Xu Yan for a long time, and he didn't even know that he could choose this way. In this world, not everyone wants to live a hundred years. Some people really think that their life is destined to be unhappy and it doesn't matter if it ends tomorrow.
It also made him think here today, in this well-decorated toilet cubicle: What about me? What kind of person do I want to be? How can I become that kind of person?
Xu Yan's back was against the dark and luxurious tiles. Because there were no buttons on the collar, the gap on the back was also wide open, revealing a piece of skin with slightly red marks, touching the cold tiles. There
was movement outside, probably someone came to the toilet.
After a moment of silence, the faucet was turned on, and the man's voice was clearly heard in Xu Yan's ears: "You really don't want to come. It's boring."
"Oh, what are you talking about? This kind of occasion is also a chance to show up." Someone answered.
"There are only a few of them when you count them. They have won so many official awards, but these are just for fun. Isn't it embarrassing enough to show off their faces?"
"Their fans are awesome. These are real data. There's nothing we can do about it. We just have to take it slow."
"Just tell me, what's the difference between me and Liang Yisheng? Isn't it just a mother who is a movie queen? Otherwise, how would he have the resources to debut? He markets himself every day without relying on Song Zi. Come on, we don't know that his mother is Song Zi, but how could those producers and directors not know? The fans really believe it, so just lie to the fans. With such a mother who is a movie queen, she can just act in the circle and play with men." "
Okay, that's enough. We are still outside. Don't talk nonsense. "
People who have reached Liang Yisheng's current position have more or less "black material", which is true and false and difficult to distinguish. Among them, Liang Yisheng is scolded the most for being a "resource guy" because his mother is the movie queen of the previous generation, Song Zi.
Xu Yan certainly knows Song Zi's name, and has a general understanding of Song Zi's personality through interviews and biographies - Song Zi is a very willful person. If such a thing happened to her today, she would probably scratch Guo Hewei's face, grab him by the collar and drag him to the hall, shouting, "I'll let you see the world today."
Xu Yan thought about this and felt inexplicably relieved. It suddenly occurred to him that if he didn't want to be a "green tree" and didn't want to be "Liang Yisheng's boyfriend", then did Liang Yisheng really want to be "Song Zi's son"?
These titles have brought them a lot of criticism and prevented them from ever being "themselves".
Although Liang Yisheng became famous for the role of Sheng Yan, he had already been acting in this circle for six years before that. His first role was an important minor role in a popular anti-Japanese war drama of that era. Because of his good looks and figure, he stood out from a bunch of minor roles and played the role of the third male adjutant. He appeared quite a lot, but had very few lines.
No one knew that he was the son of Song Zi. They just thought he was an ordinary, good-looking student at a film academy. Why would the director and the producer care whether a minor role could be the son of a movie queen? After that, Liang Yisheng played countless minor roles, but no one saw his efforts. Those who were jealous of him only saw that he played Sheng Yan, and he became famous from then on. Then they knew that he was Song Zi's son, and it seemed that they had found the root of everything.
"I never took advantage of her popularity." Liang Yisheng said with a smile during the interview.
The host had a good attitude, but the questions he asked were not friendly. At the same time, it also represented everyone's doubts about Liang Yisheng at that time. Is Liang Yisheng a resource guy? How did Liang Yisheng get the role of Sheng Yan? It must be because the director knew Song Zi!
Liang Yisheng always looked at the camera with ease. Xu Yan watched his first few interviews. Although he looked a little green, he did not look nervous or unnatural at all. He is not afraid of his life being exposed to the public, not afraid of people pointing fingers at him, as if he has already prepared everything.
"I auditioned for the role of Sheng Yan, fair competition."
"The director does know Song Zi, but he didn't know the relationship between me and Song Zi when casting."
"Why did he choose me? Maybe because I'm handsome."
Xu Yan turned over this interview again, and when Liang Yisheng said "Maybe because I'm handsome", his mouth corners were slightly curved, his eyebrows were raised indifferently, and he made such a joke. He could have said that the director didn't know Song Zi, whether everyone believed it or not, but he insisted on telling the truth, even if they knew each other, so what?
The video on the screen suddenly jumped and turned into an incoming call. It was a call from Cheng Xinlu. Xu Yan opened the phone and answered it. Cheng Xinlu's voice came from the receiver immediately. She didn't even say hello, but said directly: "Xu Yan, Guo Hewei should have bought a marketing account. You... take a look, I will send you a WeChat message to handle the instructions later, and contact me if you have any questions after you confirm it."
"Okay." Xu Yan said.
"Real evidence?! A new actor with a surname of two was leaked in the bathroom!"
"Cheated? The actor surnamed L's public lover was covered with kiss marks and was exposed!"
"The loving persona finally collapsed, was he cheated or did they just play with each other?"
"Xu Yan and Liang Yisheng" once again became a hot search with this double name entry format. It was summer vacation and weekend, so students and office workers were very free, and Weibo traffic was very high. Marketing accounts came one after another. Although none of them mentioned the two people's names directly, the censorship was completely useless. Anyone could easily decipher who these two people were.
Xu Yan's face was censored in the photo, but it was not a thick censorship and it was not completely censored.
"Am I going to be so wild? Is this the summer dinner at Moran?"
"Yes, Moran's red carpet today, you can also search for xy's red carpet look, it's this dress"
"I'm a passerby... You really don't know how to be polite. Why must it be Luan Jiao? Isn't Liang Yisheng also in Moran?"
"Mr. Liang is the main star of the red carpet. He was still out there at that time [awkward]" "
Thank you. Although the house collapsed, no one was injured. I can only say that it's a good thing I didn't see it wrong."
"I don't know who he has managed to get in this situation. At first I thought xy had good taste. He even dared to chop off Lys's legs. Who else can provide him with more resources than Lys? Even if you raise a dog, you should know to be loyal to its owner."
"Liang Yisheng's fans, please stop pretending to be passers-by. [Awkward] I feel embarrassed too. Why does xy dare to do it with others in such a place? Don't you think about what kind of person Liang Yisheng is? The two of them are almost done. They just play their own games and pretend to be affectionate with fans."
"Fans of Mr. Liang, please pay more attention to Liang Yisheng's new movie "Drunk in the Shade of Flowers" and pay less attention to the actors' private lives
." Xu Yan looked down calmly. Cheng Xinlu knew it, which meant that Zhang Yuanyi must have known it too, and now Liang Yisheng must have known it too. But except for the previous call, Liang Yisheng never sent him a message or called him again.
Cheng Xinlu asked him if there was any surveillance in the toilet. If there was, he could report it to the police directly and make the surveillance video public. This method is the most powerful. But even though the trending searches are climbing up quickly, it’s better not to make too much noise. The influence of Moran’s summer party has been growing in recent years. It’s best to call the police after the party is over, so as not to alarm everyone.
Cheng Xinlu finally said hesitantly: "Before that... I’ll have to ask you to hide in the toilet. The trending searches are already number seven, and will continue to rise. Those sitting outside must know about it, so don’t go out and let them talk about it."
Before Xu Yan could reply, there was a knock on the toilet door, two slow knocks, and then Liang Yisheng’s voice: "Xu Yan, are you in there?"
"Yes." Xu Yan replied.
Cheng Xinlu heard the voice from this side: "Liang Yisheng is here?"
Xu Yan was silent for a while, and said: "Sister, I just thought seriously about what the difference is between me and Teacher Liang. Although it seems that we don't care about other people's comments on us, Teacher Liang always faces it directly, while I always hide. I don't want to hide this time. I want to solve this matter in my own way. Is that okay?"
