Can't fly

Chapter 73

Why is he here? Is "One Night Talent" related to him...?

Still in shock, following the slight sound of closing the door, Yang Yuanyi spoke to him in a natural manner, and the cautiousness in WeChat seemed to be restrained by him as if nothing had happened.

"Are you here for an audition?" Yang Yuanyi asked, raising his fingers to loosen his tie.

Fang Fei nodded as an acknowledgment.

When they made eye contact, many words scrambled to the base of their tongues and huddled together.He wanted to ask if Yang Yuanyi's injury was healed, how could he be able to run around now; he also wanted to ask if Yang Yuanyi's appearance here had any connection with Huaying, and who else was in that room besides him?

White shirt and black trousers, dark brown slightly long natural curly hair, and the string of red glaze on the wrist is dazzling.

Time seems to have been suddenly cropped for no reason, and Yang Yuanyi is still as handsome as he remembers.The pain, fragility and emaciation of the previous period were covered up, and Fang Fei remembered that summer two years ago.

How wonderful it was then.

Fang Fei was kept in the dark, and Yang Yuanyi didn't love him that much.

After being silent for a while, Yang Yuanyi asked him, "How is it?"

I had a feeling during the audition that I wanted to ask, so there's no need to hide it from him. Besides, the two of them could live in peace in the same ward before, Fang Fei doesn't bother to avoid suspicion with him now.

He said truthfully: "Actually, I was at a loss, and I didn't know what I was doing the whole time."

"Really?" Yang Yuanyi smiled, the corners of his eyes were the most familiar tenderness, he turned sideways and signaled Fang Fei to go with him, "I was also interviewing just now, similar to you, and I didn't know the whole process."

Fang Fei didn't ask, but he took the initiative to mention the reason for his presence here, so that the topic continued logically.

"What's the interview?" Fang Fei asked.

"The director of "One Night Genius"." After Yang Yuanyi finished speaking, seeing his doubts as expected, he explained, "Jiashang has injected capital, and the position of director has not yet been confirmed. They asked me to try it, so I will I sent my resume to the producer."

It was the first time Fang Fei heard that there was an interview to be a director: "So strict?"

Walking to the elevator entrance during the conversation, Yang Yuanyi naturally pressed the down button.

"Maybe I have high expectations for the project." Seeing that Fang Fei didn't seem to express any distaste for taking the elevator together, he felt a little more at ease. It’s very different. I was born in an independent film industry, so they might not like it, so relax.”

"Aside from you, is Yin Muyuan here?" Fang Fei asked, "I first heard that he was the director."

That's why you're here?

Still trying to avoid him.

A little bit lonely, Yang Yuanyi held them down to prevent his expression from changing too much: "In recent years, almost all directors who have won the 'Three Gold' awards in China have been invited. Those who planned didn’t participate. The project was still very early, and I didn’t suffer from interviews, so I came.”

"That's it." Fang Fei said, lowered his head and pressed the phone screen a few times casually.

"To the lobby or the parking lot?"

"B1." Fang Fei added, "Thank you."

The elevator went down from the 23rd floor. Perhaps they were lucky enough to hardly stop at any floors in the middle.The sense of weightlessness and changes in air pressure made the ears feel like they were clogged with cotton balls. Fang Fei raised his eyes and watched the numbers gradually decrease at the same time interval.

"He Xiaoshi was arrested, did you do it?"

"Huh?" Yang Yuanyi was a little surprised that he would bring it up again, but he didn't hide it, "It was busy during that time, and these things really couldn't be explained clearly in one or two sentences—how did you know?"

"Others said, I..."

"Ding-dong-"

The reminder sounded, and a gust of cold wind poured in from outside, Fang Fei remained silent.

Just started chatting as if it was time to say goodbye. He couldn't tell where the sudden loss in his heart came from, and his steps were slow and dull.Yang Yuanyi walked a little ahead, turned his head, maybe felt that he didn't want to answer, so he stopped asking: "I can't finish it in a few words, anyway, it has nothing to do with you, it's their deliberate revenge."

"But did they really hurt you?" Fang Fei blurted out.

He Xiaoshi and Fang Fei had a personal grievance, and Yang Yuanyi knew about the unpleasant quarrel when they terminated the contract.Later, when he quit "Falling Water", he was harassed by Wan Chenyun and He Xiaoshi got in the way and made something out of nothing...

Is Yang Yuanyi making excuses, or is there something real?

He asked in a hurry, and being heard by another person carried a different sense of concern.

"...The surveillance captured it." Yang Yuanyi lowered his eyes, and when he caught up with him, the two walked out side by side, his voice was also very soft, "The switch has two modes, and he picked it up to observe while the blasting team was not paying attention. It is absolutely impossible for the team to touch the countdown button, and no one else has approached it except He Yaojia."

Fang Fei: "Then He Xiaoshi..."

"That's not clear. During that time in the hospital, I basically didn't contact them. I only found out from Shanny later." Yang Yuanyi paused, "Maybe some clues were found during the investigation."

Seems to make sense.

In addition, he heard from Shao Qingsheng that He Yaojia's performance in the crew was not satisfactory. Fang Fei knew He Xiaoshi, he would take revenge, and his nephew who valued him was wronged. The starting point is too thin, He Xiaoshi's interests are paramount, and this matter exposes him to no good.

Fang Fei was confused, and always felt that something was wrong.

"what happened?"

"I still don't want this to be ordered by you."

Yang Yuanyi was stunned, as if he hadn't expected Fang Fei to say this at all, and after a while he calmed down and replied indifferently: "Shuotian has lost Chen Yusheng's heartache this time, and he has to find someone to vent his anger on."

Fang Fei turned his head: "What do you mean?..."

"You have to think about the consequences when you do things."

When He Xiaoshi offended Fang Fei back then, he was too flamboyant, thinking that he could really destroy someone with a handful of rumors, but he didn't expect that he would be the first to be punished.It's just that doing something in this circle with great fanfare is always counterproductive, and quietly solving some things to ensure peace of mind has become the best ending.

"The consequences of He Xiaoshi?" Fang Fei understood something.

"No matter who instructs him, he is not innocent. I don't have the energy to easily send a person to the police station without evidence." Yang Yuanyi finished speaking pointingly, and smiled in relief, "Pick you up." Where is your car parked?"

"It's over there."

"Then I'll take you there."

In just a few steps, Fang Fei stopped after seeing the nanny car: "Should we go here?"

"Afei, if... let me make an assumption first, "One Night Genius" finally chooses my plan, and you happen to be able to get this opportunity." Yang Yuanyi secretly pinched his palm when he asked this, "Will you come? ?”

"I'm not with you..." Fang Fei thought for a while, but couldn't find a more natural word, and refused to admit that he was avoiding him, so he could only say, "I don't have to avoid suspicion."

There was a rock in Yang Yuanyi's heart that could not be moved up and down for a long time, but when he heard Fang Fei's words, it fell to the ground instantly, and the dust filled the sky with a rumbling sound, which made him feel impulsive for a short time.

The nanny car turned on the lights, and Yang Yuanyi smiled very gently at the corner of his eyes: "Your words are enough."

Yang Yuan didn't just want "One Night Genius".

Both he and Fang Fei knew that there were many difficulties in the reshoot of "Falling Water".

It is rare for a project that has been confirmed to be cut in half to resume work one day. Even if a new investor is found, it must be negotiated with the requirements of different parties.After changing directors, changing actors, and rewriting the script twice, it has almost become a brand new project, but for the audience, the twists and turns in the past will also affect the perception and lead to dismal returns.

"Why continue?"

"I helped Shen Jue before, so he will return my favor. He will definitely come before the filming starts." Yang Yuanyi avoided his question, but his eyes were bright when talking about the plan, "The director team is all partners. As for the actors, I have contacted Tu Rui and Wang Hongyu... verbally agreed. Now there are actually two most important issues, how to get the investment, and the casting of 'A Jiang'."

The car lights flashed, as if urging Fang Fei to hurry up.

Yang Yuanyi also knew that time was limited, so before Fang Fei could say anything, he asked suddenly: "When the investment is settled, Ah Fei, put aside the things that were left halfway before, will you come back?"

On a night with spring tide and rain, the fragrance of plants and trees was refreshing, but Fang Fei didn't even bother to shake his head when asked about it.

But now?

Fang Fei said, "You can find someone else."

"I don't want anyone else."

Because of this sentence, the concrete floor under his feet seemed to collapse in an instant.

Perhaps it was indeed a long time apart, so long that when he looked at Yang Yuanyi again, the first thing he recalled was not the hurt.

In the past few months, Fang Fei has lived a fulfilling life. He has a new circle of friends and new resources. Although he occasionally feels that something is missing, it does not affect his continued life, serious work, and step-by-step aimlessness.

The missing piece, even if it was innocuous enough to fill the void, would still torment him late at night.

Fang Fei always looked up to Yang Yuanyi in the past, they were people from two worlds, so he clumsily hid his anxiety and stayed by Yang Yuanyi's side, lest one day the connection between the two worlds would suddenly be severed.

After witnessing Yang Yuanyi's helplessness, discovering his fragility, knowing his pain...

I heard him say, "I don't want others."

Yang Yuanyi is finally as abominable and real as everyone else, there is no need to look up to, let alone worship.

"No one else." Yang Yuanyi swears, "Because I made you sad because of the movie, then I will make you believe that I have not concealed or deceived you in the same way. You are so smart, you will feel it, right?"

"I don't want to sign a blank cheque."

After he finished speaking, he forgot to say goodbye and ran to the car in a hurry, got in, Fang Fei let out a long breath, and turned to look out the window, his vision was gray through a layer of anti-peeping film.

Yang Yuan is like a shadow.

Hearing his begging, the empty space grew bigger and bigger, which filled him with sadness.

Wasn't he at the beginning because he wanted to be needed by Yang Yuanyi?

"What's wrong?" Tang Ao asked with concern in the seat next to the nanny's car, "I've been restless since the beginning, is it because the audition results were not good? It's okay Ah Fei, we just..."

"I met Director Yang." Fang Fei said.

A complex expression flashed in Tang Ao's eyes: "Really?..."

Fang Fei urgently needs to vent: "He said that if he remakes "Falling Water", he still wants me to act."

"Good thing." After Tang Ao finished answering, he realized that he was a little too proactive, and then slowed down his speech to analyze with him, "Oh, I thought, your main focus is on the big screen, and you haven't auditioned for "One Night Genius" recently. Other crews, and this one, no matter how good the team is. He has a heart, we can consider it..."

There was something wrong with her attentiveness, Fang Fei raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at her playfully.

Tang Ao: "Why, do you have other ideas?"

"Sister, you seem to like this resource more than I do."

"That's Shen Jue! Why don't we consider him if he decides to continue to play the leading role?" Tang Ao quickly found a way for himself, "And you really aren't tempted at all?"

Hearing this, Fang Fei withdrew his gaze and looked outside again.

Not at all excited?

The setting sun melted gold, and Pingjing once again came to the August he was familiar with and loved and hated.
