Can't fly

Chapter 13

Entering the golden autumn of October, Pingjing ushers in the most beautiful season of the year, and the city is full of brilliant colors.

In the depths of the alley, gray and white wall bricks enclose a small private courtyard.

All the old-fashioned buildings have been refurbished, with a somewhat mixed north-south garden style. There is a beautifully shaped maple tree planted beside the rockery. The leaves are already half red, and the sun shines on it, which is as dazzling as fire when viewed from a distance.

His dark eyes scanned the exaggerated content, and the man handed the phone back: "It's too exaggerated."

Yang Yuanyi smiled lightly and flipped through the wording of the marketing accounts: "But speaking of this, I'm really curious what you two said about breaking up for no reason."

Sitting next to him is Shen Jue who has been in the center of the storm due to personal feelings these days.

Shen Jue has a superior appearance, a perfect face, and a rare temperament, noble and elegant. He has been handsome for more than ten years since his debut, and he has never acted in a bad movie or been involved in a scandal.

A few years ago, he was caught in a close relationship with homosexuals by the media, and then he made it public and admitted that he had obtained a legal partner status abroad. The marketing accounts posted his inventory to earn traffic, which is now well known.

But at this moment, the love between the heir of the industrial giant and the movie star is sending out an emergency signal. These well-fed marketing accounts are rhythmic, and they have compiled that their love is not reliable. Believe in rumors such as "derailed" and "blocked".

The word "banned" has always had two sides. Some people disappeared without waiting for a definite news, while others laughed at the rumors hyped up by the media, and didn't even bother to clarify.

When Yang Yuan realized this, he suddenly felt sad.

Seeing that Shen Jue didn't answer, he continued to ask: "Could it be they guessed it right?"

"I plan to calm down with each other during this period of time, we are just separated, and we haven't gone through the divorce procedure, you are more anxious than me?" Shen Jue thought for a while, took out the cigarette case and tapped it lightly on the corner of the coffee table, "Why?"

Yang Yuanyi waved his hand: "Quit."

Shen Jue didn't believe it, and asked him suspiciously, "It's a real ring", but he didn't persuade him any more, and ordered it for himself.

The cigarette he smoked had a strong smell, and when he spit it out, Shen Jue raised his eyes towards the sky, and quickly lowered his perspective: "I used to say that my biggest wish was to win an award in Berlin, Cannes and Venice, but now it seems to be realized, and this is what happened."

Yang Yuan said nothing, just smiled.

After a while, Shen Jue was a little depressed when he spoke again: "He hoped that I would stop making movies."

Yang Yuanyi said "ah": "So?"

"I proposed to break up." Shen Jue said, "If he doesn't want to, I will move out first."

Yang Yuanyi: "Alright."

In fact, Shen Jue's family conditions are not much worse than his lover's. He has no worries about food and clothing. He has achieved financial independence in his early twenties, and he has long since given up on material things.But like Yang Yuanyi, he is a person who has thoughts about the film industry.At this moment, the other party proposed that he "retire to the second line" and "shift his focus to the backstage or withdraw from the circle". Shen Jue could not accept it, and even the rebellion was completely understandable.

Furthermore, women groups who have been oppressed for thousands of years are now holding high the banner of career and away from the fate of being full-time housewives. It is ridiculous to ask a person who is so shining in the professional field to return to the family.

Yang Yuanyi guessed that this was not all the original intention of Mr. Xie, maybe other members of the Xie family were messing with it.

But he will not remind Shen Jue.

Smart people only need to click to the end, let alone they have known each other for so many years.

"Let's not talk about me...it's you, I've watched the variety show for a while, and I'm really curious." Shen Jue put the cigarette in his mouth again, and his speech was a little slurred, "It's clear at a glance which of the two is good and which is bad, but you are facing each other. The one named Fang Fei talks harshly, and the variety shows are so serious, which is not like your style. Did you know each other before?"

"Ah." Yang Yuanyi half-truthfully admitted, "Do you remember him?"

Shen Jue said "hmm", and said intentionally or unconsciously, "Because of this program, he has recently... been on the cusp."

Hongfeng trembled a few times following the whisper, even though the sun was still incomparably warm, after all it was autumn, and the wind was already cool.

It was originally a meeting of friends to chat in private, but they are all busy people, and it is rare to steal an hour or two of leisure.Not long after, Shen Jue answered the phone and stood up to say goodbye.

There were fewer voices in the small courtyard, and it became more and more silent.

The sound from a few alleys away hits the wall in vain. In the courtyard, bamboo is placed on the side of the pool to add water, and there is a clear "dong" sound when it is full.Before the lingering sound was over, Yang Yuanyi stood up all of a sudden.

He dragged out a number from the address book and walked out while typing.

"it's me."

"Where are you now?"

"...Well, I'm coming."

The other end of Pingjing City lost the quietness of the courtyard. In the office room on the middle floor of the office building, He Xiaoshi put down the phone, almost gritted his teeth, and let out a vicious "pooh".

"Is Lie Xing's people sick? We didn't bring the rhythm, and we didn't buy the trending searches. Why did you become a target overnight? You can't clean up the black entries. I'm so mad!"

Sitting on the sofa, Fang Fei scanned the unrecognizable private mailbox expressionlessly: "Then don't scan it."

"How can this work?! If you watch too much and your mentality will be affected..." He Xiaoshi was halfway through the sentence, and he was relieved when he saw Fang Fei's calm demeanor, "Forget it, you haven't seen anything, that Liu who was surnamed back then If you want to ban you, first find the paparazzi to dig up black material, and if you can’t find it, you will become angry and force our Xuezang artist... He also hasn’t made any progress in so many years, the more he lived, the more he went back, and he settled old scores with you for a small artist?"

Fang Fei didn't smile or speak, and put his phone aside: "You've been looking at Xia Huai recently, he's not in a good mood."

He Xiaoshi was startled: "You two don't take turns messing with me."

"You're the one who shouldn't be so courteous to me. I can't make much money for you. I'm not used to it." After Fang Fei finished speaking, he glanced at the newly received message on the screen, "I have something to do, let's go first."

When times of adversity are calm, He Xiaoshi has seen a lot after several years of cooperation. He did not expect Fang Fei to maintain his state when the situation was good.To put it bluntly, it would be as pale as a chrysanthemum, but He Xiaoshi felt that this was ignorance, so he couldn't help but rolled his eyes again, and then reminded him with nothing to do:

"Don't be photographed in a mess, but the dirty water spilled by the surname Liu is real!"

"understood."

Fang Fei said that the person had already walked a few steps away.

He Xiaoshi's worry is not unreasonable, he is indeed in a dangerous position now.

Under the scrutiny of all parties, there is nothing wrong with being cautious.But after all, this is not the first time Fang Fei has received so much attention. The previous restlessness has become indifferent. No matter what others say, he will not move.

The first episode of "Actor's Cultivation" was broadcast, which seemed reasonable, but it was beyond everyone's expectations. What caused the most discussion was not Shen Jue's undissipated emotional vortex and the new face who replaced him in the judges' seat , but the name "Fang Fei" inexplicably occupied the focus again.

First of all, the Weibo popularity that the marketing account unintentionally posted was like a rocket. Many people just realized that he was the one who let Shen Yao, Zhao Dali and other powerful factions run with him when he was "electrically shocked" for the first time at a young age. youth.

But then, Fang Fei almost faded out of the public eye, making many people think that he had quit the circle.

"Absurd Stories" was noticed again, and someone recounted the fact that he won the title of actor at a young age, and Fang Fei Changcao's Weibo became hundreds of thousands of followers overnight.

The Butterfly Effect is still going on, and after the show is broadcast, it is Yi Yi's fans who come first, not the passer-by fans who like him.

Through editing and post-production efforts, Yi Yi successfully established himself as a negative teaching material for "not a big coffee but not a small style" and "strength does not match traffic".A few gossip entertainment journalists took him seriously and wrote a lot of "traffic dominates", "bad money drives out good money", "not so good, not so bad means bad", the Spring and Autumn style of writing angered Yi Yi's fans.

Can't beat the program group and pure passers-by, can't they beat Fang Fei?

There was naturally resistance when there was an attack. For a while, Fang Fei's comment area was filled with "distressed" and "uncoordinated", which was extremely lively.

Zhengzhu has not moved since reposting the official Weibo of the program group, and has not paid attention to these quarrels at all. He went out the same as before, wearing a baseball cap, and standing on the side of the road waiting for the bus.

As the sun went down, Fang Fei's shadow was stretched very long, and the asphalt road was covered with golden fragments as bright as stars.

When the car stopped in front of him, the heat wave hit his face, the horn sounded briefly, and Fang Fei pulled the co-pilot away.

Halfway through wearing the seat belt, he caught a glimpse of a few fully armed men in hats and sunglasses coming out of the green belt at the bottom of the office building with their cameras on their shoulders. Suddenly he was a little funny: "What age is it..."

"Huh?" Yang Yuanyi tilted his head.

Fang Fei pointed to the rearview mirror: "There are a few entertainment journalists waiting downstairs in our company."

"Oh, but they don't know me, so they can't write anything." Yang Yuanyi smiled when he heard it, and comforted him, "It's actually a good thing, it means someone is waiting to dig news from you."

Fang Fei laughed at himself: "What news do I have?"

"In the future." Yang Yuanyi said, "Originally, Cheng Shu planned to announce the launch of the project when the preparations were almost done. After seeing your recent search volume, he just called me and asked if we could promote it in advance. Cao Xinran's schedule has also been adjusted. Already, it is estimated that the makeup photos will be taken in the next few days, and then we can start."

Even though he has been in the circle for a few years, Fang Fei has never been up or down, and has never participated in the actual traffic vortex.

Hearing what Yang Yuanyi said, he was still confused: "Mr. Cheng really reads these?"

"Not only he reads it, but I also watch it." Yang Yuanyi drove the car onto the viaduct, "You have to maintain a certain sensitivity to these things in the future. Now that the self-media is developed, many times the source of information is not necessarily mainstream, but it cannot be ignored. We do For movies, one's own persistence is of course a part, but grasping the market is also very important."

He spoke slowly, Fang Fei listened carefully and said "OK".

But what to do actually, Fang Fei is still at a loss.

It seemed that he was still in a period of confusion, and Yang Yuanyi smiled deeper. Facing the setting sun, he pushed the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose: "It sounds blurry, right? I'll teach you later."

"Okay!" The tone was obviously more excited this time.

Yang Yuanyi brought Fang Fei back to the Xincheng mansion.

The access card and password were given long ago, but Fang Fei has no reason to come.That day, Yang Yuanyi called him suddenly, and then gave him a legitimate excuse - you brought me here.

Compared with the hotel room where we met late at night, the mansion is obviously where Yang Yuanyi lived for a long time, and the chaos is so chaotic and lifelike.

Yang Yuanyi has a free and easy personality, and he doesn't seem to care much about being found in such chaos, but when Fang Fei walks in, he always walks a few steps ahead, pretending to pick up books and draft paper on the ground and chairs, and everything that shouldn't appear. objects in these places.

Fang Fei kept a distance of two or three steps behind him, and raised his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth that covered the tip of his nose.

"What are you laughing at?" Yang Yuanyi asked without turning his head, as if he had eyes behind his back.

Fang Fei said "no", but looked at him with piercing eyes, and the smile in his eyes continued unabated.

Although I can do basic housework, but I am used to having my aunt clean and tidy up regularly, and this skill is useless.Yang Yuanyi was pampered and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Fang Fei stared at him like this, and he rarely felt ashamed. He grabbed a tie and threw it into the laundry basket in embarrassment:

"I'll stare at it, I knew I wouldn't bring you here."

Fang Fei covered her eyes obediently, but said, "I have your access card."

"Why didn't you come earlier?" Yang Yuanyi asked casually.

It took Fang Fei a long time to say this time, "What am I here for?"

"I promised you, so you don't have to find many reasons, it just depends on whether you want it or not, understand?" Yang Yuanyi packed the last coat and leaned against the door of the utility room, "I'm hungry, I'm waiting for takeaway, I'll call To Auntie, or?"

Fang Fei seemed to relax a little.

"Let me do it," he said, "I thought I'd have a chance to show you my hand."

Yang Yuanyi said: "Then after dinner, shall we find a movie to watch?"

Fang Fei froze for a moment, then replied, "Okay."

Having a meal together, watching a movie, going to bed, going to sleep, at this moment, these things that are close to daily life gave Fang Fei a momentary illusion that he never complained about Yang Yuanyi's indifference.
