The first role that Xu Yan played after entering the industry was a young man in an ancient romance drama. The male and female protagonists were sitting in the school studying. There must be other people in the school, right? Xu Yan was one of them. He was in the corner, and the camera rarely caught his face. Occasionally, he would pass by when the camera passed by, and no one noticed him at all.

It only took half a day to shoot, and all the scenes in the school were shot together. After this part was finished, Xu Yan's part was finished. The word "finished" is a bit exaggerated. He was not even a supporting role and could not appear in the official cast list. The two words "Xu Yan" were squeezed in among the names of "participating in the performance", and it was not easy to find.

"Hello, Mr. Xu Yan. I am a reporter from Entertainment Times. I would like to ask that the original name of "Shadow" is "Qing Shu", which is the role you play. What do you think about this? Or what position did you give yourself when you played this role?"

The premiere was live broadcast, and the live broadcast camera was aimed at Xu Yan, accurately capturing the expression changes on his face every second. Today, Xu Yan's makeup is very light, in order to match the role of "Qing Shu". If it were not for the camera, he would not wear makeup today.

Xu Yan still smiled, and the microphone was passed to him from Liang Yisheng's hand. When Xu Yan took the microphone, he felt Liang Yisheng's thumb rubbed his wrist twice soothingly.

"Hello, regarding the question you raised, I think every actor here, from Teacher Liang to every supporting actor, would answer this way. The ranking in the play cannot limit an actor's enthusiasm for performance. Everyone is the protagonist in his own role. What do you think?"

Xu Yan looked at the reporter, holding the microphone firmly in his hand, "I am extremely honored that Director Lu and Teacher Liang can hand over the role of Qingshu to me. There is a sentence in the script that Wei Yuan used to describe Qingshu, 'Qingshu, these two words are out of this world, I can feel the wind when I look at him', or it can be said that Teacher Liang is the cornerstone of this movie. I am very grateful to have such a solid backing to let me take off with the wind."

"Hello, teachers. I am a fan of the original novel. I am very happy to be here at the premiere today, and I am even more honored to have the opportunity to ask questions. In fact, in the original novel, the relationship between the two protagonists did not have a clear ending. During the serialization period, readers had many arguments about whether they liked each other. During the performance, what are your opinions on the relationship between the protagonists?"

Xu Yan was still listening to this question carefully when he suddenly heard a very light and short laugh from the person standing next to him. The host next to him obviously noticed Liang Yisheng's reaction and quickly handed the microphone to Liang Yisheng: "Teacher Liang seems to have something to say about this issue!"

Liang Yisheng picked up the microphone and glanced at Xu Yan: "I remember I asked Xu Yan this question after he met Director Lu for the first time, whether Qingshu likes Wei Yuan. He probably said that he didn't like him that much. After Sha Qing, he told me again that he was wrong at that time, and Qingshu likes Wei Yuan. I think this question should be asked to Teacher Xu, do you think Qingshu likes Wei Yuan?"

Liang Yisheng and Xu Yan stood in the middle, the director and screenwriter stood on both sides respectively, and there were also two supporting actors with slightly higher traffic, one male and one female, who stood on the outermost sides. There is a live camera in the middle of the stage, the closest to the audience. The front row is filled with industry veterans, including two of Lu Jiahong's friends. The two rows behind are filled with reporters, and the back is filled with fans.

They will be here later. After the interview, they will watch the premiere together.

Xu Yan looked at the camera: "I have to admit that the two questions that Teacher Liang asked me were outside the play, and I mixed a lot of personal emotions into my answers. I couldn't help but project a small part of Qingshu's feelings for Wei Yuan onto my own emotions, so my answer was not objective. But a good work, as you said -" Xu Yan looked at the fan who asked the question, "will trigger readers and audiences to think and discuss. Why don't we discuss this issue after watching the movie."

After answering, Xu Yan returned the microphone to the host, and Liang Yisheng said indifferently: "Teacher Xu is getting more and more proficient in Tai Chi."

"What do you think?" Xu Yan asked him in a low voice, "Do you think Wei Yuan likes Qingshu?"

"Why don't we discuss this issue after we watch the movie?"

Some premieres will choose to play some trailers or clips, while others will directly play the entire movie. Luk Ka-hung finally chose to play the entire movie because there were not many screenings, and it would be a good thing to show more clips now, which could be spread through reporters on the scene to attract more audiences to sit in the theater.

They sat in the front row, with Liang Yisheng and Xu Yan in the middle. Liang Yisheng must have experienced this scene many times, sitting below and watching himself appear on the big screen from the perspective of the audience, just like reviewing his own work.

Xu Yan sat upright with his back straight. He had a box of popcorn next to him, which was distributed by the organizer, and everyone had one box. Xu Yan had no appetite at all. The black screen lit up, and there was a green tree on it. The sky and the earth were vast, and there was only a green tree standing there. Xu Yan exhaled, and his slightly opened mouth was instantly stuffed with a full popcorn.

It was crispy and sweet.

There was no light, only the light from the screen. Xu Yan chewed a popcorn in his mouth, chewing slowly, feeling the sweetness bursting in his mouth, flowing into his stomach, and his entire upper body warmed up. When the teeth bit down, the popcorn broke into a loud sound, mixed with the music in the opening credits, and Xu Yan saw his name appear on the screen. Xu

Yan played Qingshu.

It was dry and cold in Beijing in January. It hadn't snowed in the past few days, and it felt so cold that it wasn't worth it. The ears were frozen and numb after being exposed for half an hour. Both of them were wearing black down jackets and only a mask on their faces.

Liang Yisheng turned the cigarette box in his hand for several times. At two o'clock in the morning, there was no one else on the road in Xinyuan except the two of them. Only the street lights were still on diligently.

"It's the middle of the night, why are you wearing a mask?" Liang Yisheng's tone was a little impatient, and he reached out to pull the mask off. Wearing a mask made him feel annoyed. Every time he exhaled, a layer of water vapor covered his face, making it wet and stuffy.

"What if someone takes a picture?" Xu Yan sat on the chair and looked around.

Liang Yisheng wore a watch on his wrist and held it out to show Xu Yan: "Baby, it's 2:17 in the morning. Besides, I'm at home and I didn't go to a nightclub to dance, so I can take the photo." As

soon as he took off his mask, a cloud of white mist spread in the air when he spoke.

At 2:17 in the morning in January, the two of them sat on chairs downstairs to look at the stars.

It's rare to see stars in the winter in Beijing, and even the moon is hard to see. I don't know what happened today, it seems that the air is particularly good, and the crystal stars that seem out of reach seem to be within reach with some effort.

"Smoke less!" Xu Yan took Liang Yisheng's cigarette box.

"Tsk." Liang Yisheng was robbed of his cigarette box, but he was not angry, "I didn't smoke, I sat here for ten minutes and didn't dare to open the box. I didn't even prepare like this when preparing for pregnancy."

"What are you talking about." Xu Yan stuffed the cigarette box into his hand again.

"Will you continue to make movies in the future?" Xu Yan asked.

"Of course, you can't sleep thinking about it?" Liang Yisheng looked at him.

Fifteen minutes ago, Liang Yisheng was still sleeping in bed. Xu Yan tossed and turned many times, and finally decided to go out and sit for a while to get some fresh air. As a result, when he got out of bed and put on his clothes, he woke up Liang Yisheng

, and the fresh air turned into a date to watch the stars together in the early morning. "Not really... The movie will be officially released tomorrow, so I might be a little nervous." Xu Yan said, he turned to look at Liang Yisheng, who was still sleeping fifteen minutes ago. He put on a down jacket and accompanied him out, and took a cigarette box with him before leaving.

Liang Yishen comforted him: "Didn't you see the playback effect at the premiere in the daytime? It's okay."

"My mother called me a few days ago and asked me if I would go home for the New Year this year. I said it depends on my work schedule, not necessarily, and if I'm busy, I won't go back. In fact, I never told you that after... that incident, they didn't want me to stay in the entertainment industry anymore, and urged me to go home for blind dates." Xu Yan spoke in a low voice, sounding empty and lonely in the dry and cold morning. "I sent her that in the afternoon, the screenshot of 'Xu Yan plays Qingshu'. She and my dad haven't replied to me yet."

Xu Yan's home is a small city in the north, which snows much more than Beijing. Director Xu has been the class teacher since Xu Yan could remember. Whenever it snowed, he would leave home early, ride his bike to school in the heavy snow, and organize the students in the class to clean the snow in the bathroom area.

Later, when Xu Yan went to high school, he studied at the school where Director Xu taught. On snowy days, he would often bring a portion of steamed buns or pancakes prepared by Xu's mother and run to the bathroom area of ​​Director Xu's class. He hurriedly delivered breakfast to his father, broke into other people's bathroom areas, and stuffed the breakfast into the busy man's arms. The man didn't even have time to say "be careful" to him, but would stare at the students in his class with wide eyes to tell them not to fall.

Xu Yan stood and watched for a while, then turned around and ran back to the class. His own class also had a bathroom area under his charge, and he also had to clean the snow.

Xu Yan is not the type of person who thinks too much, but Director Xu has a reputation for being strict, and students often ask Xu Yan: "Hey Xu Yan, is your dad like this at home?"

Xu Yan just nodded and said with a smile: "He is also very strict at home."

So sometimes Xu Yan couldn't help but wonder, in his heart, am I important or are his students more important? For a long time, Xu Yan believed that his students must be more important. Xu Yan even felt that in Director Xu's heart, there was no concept of "son" at all, only students. He has his own students, and Xu Yan is a student of another teacher, so he doesn't care enough about Xu Yan.

Xu's mother called a few days ago, her tone was quite good, and she asked him gently if he wanted to go back for the New Year? But Xu Yan could hear Director Xu's voice in the background, which sounded strange yet familiar, and it was still that stern tone, saying "Why are you asking him what he does? His heart is no longer in this family. If he doesn't come back, then forget it. I'll let him come back to collect my body after I die."

Xu's mother sighed and told him not to talk nonsense.

Xu Yan didn't feel sad, but thought that it would be difficult for Director Xu to say such words in his life. He has been a teacher for most of his life. Although he is strict, he has never physically punished or insulted students, nor will he bring emotions from school to his home to vent, and he has never said such words to Xu's mother and Xu Yan. Just like when Xu Yan left home last time, Director Xu said he would not see him off, but he was wearing only a sweater and smoking downstairs.

"Song Zi asked me before if your parents knew her. If things don't go well for you, she can come to visit." Liang Yisheng suddenly spoke up, interrupting Xu Yan's distraction.

"My mother likes Zhuo Lu." Xu Yan remembered something and said seriously.

Liang Yisheng was silent for a while, then he opened the cigarette box with his fingers, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. After groping for a long time, he finally took out the lighter from his pocket, lit it with a "click", and responded in a muffled voice in the smoke: "Then I'll go ask Zhuo Lu to say a few good words for me."

Xu Yan was about to laugh out loud, and waved his hand to disperse the smoke in front of him: "Liang Yisheng, come home with me for the New Year this year."
