Reborn as a little director

Since winning the Academy Award, Xie Siqing has a lot of things going on.

Several universities invited him to be a visiting professor at the School of Film and Television, but Xie Siqing refused, but he agreed to all the requests to give lectures in universities.

There are also some film festivals that invite him to be a judge, and sometimes he is directly the chairman of the jury.

In addition, a bunch of various and even unknown "Most Influential Chinese Awards of the Year" and the like were sent out.

Xie Siqing felt quite flattered.

However, so much attention still made him feel uncomfortable.

He's really not used to this.

What he hopes is to concentrate on filming during the day and spend time with Zhong Yang at night.

Zhong Yang's father asked Xie Siqing if he could go back to the Film Academy to give a lecture.

"Okay." Xie Siqing agreed.

Father Zhong Yang looked at Xie Siqing: "The more I look at you, the more I like you..."

"..." Xie Siqing said, "Thank you."

"You don't know." Zhong Yang's father recalled the past with a heartbroken look, "Ever since I knew he loved men, I was always worried... Later he became an actor and then a director, I was so worried that I couldn't sleep... I always suspected that my son was going to get AIDS, and I often woke up with a fright in my dreams.”

Xie Siqing: "..."

Zhong Yang sneered: "Come on, the sound of snoring at night is loud."

"...But I really had a nightmare and woke up so scared." Zhong Yang's father said again, "At that time, I liked Xie Siqing very much, and I wanted him to know Zhong Yang, but I'm not sure Xie Siqing is too, although I think it looks quite similar... Hey, what a pity for him. However, it was correct not to blend in at the beginning, and Zhong Yang's choice is quite credible."

"So what the hell were you thinking about before—" Zhong Yang frowned, "Does Xie Siqing know that you have played with him?"

"I don't know... But I'm really worried, I'm afraid you want to try new things in the circle. Then, you think, the young people I know are only my students, but the directing department recruits less and less. This year only 15 people were recruited. One-third of them were girls, and half of the boys had girlfriends. There were probably only about five of them. There was only one person who could really accept a man. One every year, most of them I am not very I like it, I don’t want him to be with my son, Xie Siqing is the only thing I can think about for so many years..."

"...Forget it." Zhong Yang felt very powerless, "To a certain extent, it is indeed my father."

"...?"

The lecture was in Zhong Yang's father's class.

Zhong Yang's father reserved a special lesson for Xie Siqing to teach.

Xie Siqing used "Leaving Home" as an example to talk about some skills in filming.

The students listened very carefully.

If there is any imperfection, it is that Zhong Yang's father is too familiar.

Logically speaking, an old professor and a fairly new young director shouldn't be that familiar.

In addition, Xie Siqing has a lot of interviews, although sometimes he has a low EQ.

A more typical one was when a reporter asked me which of the domestic films I liked last year besides my own.

"En." Xie Siqing said without any hesitation, "Director Zhong Yang's "Shards of the Universe"."

"Cosmic Fragments" is a play directed by Zhong Yang after he played the leading role in "Leaving Home".

The reporter asked: "You are mainly a director of literary and artistic films, but do you like this kind of commercial blockbusters?"

"Um."

"So, what about the year before last?"

"Director Zhong Yang won the Golden Goat Award for "The Scene of the Car Accident"."

"It's a commercial blockbuster again... Isn't it strange?"

"...?" Xie Siqing said, "No?"

The reporter added, "In the past, your favorite films were all literary films."

"……Oh."

"It's always unexpected...it seems to be against my will..."

"No." Xie Siqing said calmly, "I really think so."

Then, regarding this interview, the comments of all parties are:

【You can never wake up a director who pretends to be asleep. 】

Because, Zhong Yang's "Cosmic Fragments" has a very mediocre box office and word-of-mouth. It is considered that Zhong Yang is relatively aggressive, but he is still described as his "favorite".

Isn't this "pretending to be asleep" or something?

……

——That's it, Xie Siqing has been busy.

Originally, he and Zhong Yang had agreed to take a rest.In the past few years, I have been dealing with work non-stop, and I want to spend a few months at this time to get along easily and without pressure.

As a result, even though he was not filming, Xie Siqing was still not idle.

Zhong Yang was so angry that he turned on the phone early.

Zhong Yang directed this new film, which is still a commercial blockbuster.

He has directed quite a few movies. Although he sometimes plays the leading role in Xie Siqing's movies, even if he is the leading actor, the filming period of each movie is usually only two or three months, at most three or four months, and it is not necessary to put many Time is on the line.

In the end, for some reason, Xie Siqing was not so busy as soon as Zhong Yang made sure to start the machine in advance.

"Hello..." Xie Siqing asked before Zhong Yang officially turned on the machine, "You went to shoot the location, so what should I do?"

Zhong Yang frowned: "Preparing for your new play?"

Xie Siqing sighed: "I don't have any ideas yet. I think it's always better to surpass those previous movies? Otherwise, it's not interesting to make it."

"Yeah." Zhong Yang touched his ear, "So, wait for me to come back at home and think about the script at the same time?"

"I don't..." Xie Siqing refused, and asked in a low voice, "Can I go with you? I want to stay with you."

"……Ok?"

"Still being the assistant director, okay?"

"..."

"It's only three months? I'm helping you while I'm thinking about a new script."

"...you?" Zhong Yang frowned, "Associate director?"

are already so famous——

Xie Siqing added another word: "En."

"Okay." Zhong Yang sighed, "If you want to come, of course I have no objection."

"Okay." Xie Siqing said, "I want to go."

Xie Siqing also found it incredible.

It's been 4 years, why do I still want to see each other every day?

When Xie Siqing appeared, it really caused a sensation.

Everyone thought that the director of the Best Foreign Language Film would be very flamboyant, but unexpectedly, he was very quiet.

Director Zhong Yang would never call director Yao Shunyu what ordinary assistant directors would do.

Therefore, every day, when doing a lot of preparations, the director Yao just sat quietly on the sidelines in a daze.

Later, everyone found that he was not in a daze, but followed Director Zhong all the time.

Then the other party would look at him sometimes, and the two of them just smiled slightly.

Every morning when there is nothing to do, Director Yao will take out a transparent plastic box and open it on his knees. Inside are some washed and cut fruits, such as apples, watermelons, cantaloupe, grapes, strawberries, blueberries, kiwis, etc. There are a few toothpicks sticking out of it here and there—unlike Zhong Yang, he likes to eat fruit.

"You bought it at the supermarket?" Someone asked casually.

"no."

"Cut it yourself?"

"Zhong Yang cut it."

All the people looked back at Director Zhong who was training this and that, and they were all deeply shocked.

Then, after getting the lunch box at noon, when he saw Director Zhong handing over all the food that Director Yao likes to the other party, he felt even more numb all over.

Those two people always sit together during lunch break.

Xie Siqing didn't think too much about it.

Zhong Yang is responsible for all the food at home.

Once Zhong Yang came back late due to something, and asked Xie Siqing to make some for himself.Xie Siqing felt that it didn't matter, so he opened a can of eight-treasure porridge, then scrambled an egg at random, cut two kiwis, and ate them together. One bite was sweet, the other was salty, and the other was sour, and then there was another sweet, salty, and sour... ...and so on and on, Zhong Yang just saw it when he got home, and was amazed that Xie Siqing was able to live such a rough life, and never let him prepare food from now on.

As for other family matters, Zhong Yang invited someone to do it again after the relationship was announced.

For three meals, Xie Siqing still likes Zhong Yang's craftsmanship.

He once seriously asked Zhong Yang what he could do. Zhong Yang frowned and thought for a long time before finally assigning a task - to play with the cat.

This is Xie Siqing's only "housework".

Although he won't participate in the preparation stage every day, after the official filming starts, Xie Siqing will give lectures and so on.

The crew found that they needed to be extra careful.

Because Director Zhong is very protective, as long as they are a little anxious when talking to Director Yao, they will come over to see what happened soon.

Once there was an actor who didn't know Yao Shunyu and didn't take the young assistant director seriously, and was immediately scolded by Director Zhong.

Sometimes, even if the comprehension is poor, and you still can't understand, wasting the brain cells of Director Yao, Director Zhong will launch a low-pressure cyclone from there.

——The crew noticed that the desire to protect is not only reflected in one place.

Twice when it rained suddenly, Director Zhong immediately instructed them to clean up this one and that one, urging them for a second without stopping, but the first thing he did was to take off his coat and put it on Director Yao beside him.

……

In short, the people in the production team looked at the two of them every day, and they felt a sense of "why can they be so swaying".

Xie Siqing also talked about this with Zhong Yang.

Zhong Yang didn't take it seriously.

He asked, "If it was an ordinary couple, would anyone think it was high-profile?"

Xie Siqing thought for a while: "I don't know."

"No." Zhong Yang said disapprovingly, "What I do is just give you what you like to eat, or fear that you will be bullied. You said nasty things, but because you’re both men, you can’t even show any relationship?”

"...Okay, okay." Xie Siqing smiled, "It's up to you."

……

——Because the filming is all in this city, after filming during the day, they will return home at night.

Or, go meet a friend.

For example, Chen Zhengzhi sometimes asks them to go to parties.

And so will Mike.

Xing Mantian, who believed in constellations and believed in ghosts all day long, had a good relationship with Xie Siqing later on.

Because he felt that "Yao, Shunyu" was the only person after Xie Siqing who could make him feel at ease.

Therefore, every time I was frightened, I would let Xie Siqing go over - because I dare not go out.

Then when he saw Xie Siqing, he always wanted to say something. He heard two ghosts arguing last night or something like that.

"What's the noise?" Xie Siqing asked.

The strange thing is that Xingmantian can hear clearly every time.

For example, Xing Mantian said: "That's...one of the ghosts said: 'What are you looking at?' The other ghost replied: 'What are you looking at?' Then the two of them fought...!"

"..." It's still a ghost from the Northeast...

Or, he passed by a cemetery, and then suspected that he was no longer himself, that his body had been occupied by ghosts... and other messy things.

The strange thing is that Xie Siqing can enlighten him every time.

Sometimes Gao Liang invites Xie Siqing and Zhong Yang to sit at his house.

He would often say: "Let the imperial dining room prepare some delicious treats for you!"

Then, Xie Siqing found out every time that the only cook was Emperor Qianlong himself.

Xia Yuhe is pregnant, and Gao Liang acts like a silly father every day.

The one who will invite them in the end is Jing Ran.

Lian Xi satirizes Zhong Yang every time, but Xie Siqing thinks that Lian Xi doesn't hate it.

When he was at Jing Ran's house for the first time, Xie Siqing suddenly had something urgent to deal with.

So he took out the laptop he carried with him: "What is wifi?"

"Hahahaha, can't you go up?" Lian Xi laughed, "You let Zhong Yang beg me."

"..." After five seconds, Xie Siqing said, "No, let's go up."

"...?!"

"Lian Xi..." Xie Siqing said, "If you look like this, it's easy for someone to steal your wifi."

"..."

The password is too simple.

Although, Xie Siqing could understand Lian Xi's naive thoughts.

Xie Siqing just looked at the list casually, and saw an id called "iloveyou".

Xie Siqing guessed a little, and probably understood it.

In this family, apart from Lian Xi, everyone is Jing Ran.

Lian Xi changed the id to let Jing Ran enter a response every time she clicked on it.

So Xie Siqing typed in "" and boarded immediately.

Zhong Yang always said that Lian Xi's IQ is low, sometimes thinking about it, it might not be completely unreasonable...

At that time, when Lian Xi saw Xie Siqing online, she said angrily, "You didn't say that!!!"

"..."

……

——If we meet up with friends at night, Xie Siqing and Zhong Yang usually only do it once after returning home, sometimes not, because they have to go to the set the next day.

If you go home directly...the number of times varies.

"Hey..." Once, after finishing the work, Xie Siqing touched Zhong Yang's muscular lower abdomen and said, "I want to laugh when I think of you growing fat one day."

Zhong Yang couldn't understand what was so funny at all.

He said with a cold face: "This kind of thing will never happen."

"Okay, okay." Xie Siqing continued, "But, one day we will grow old."

"Um."

"Zhong Yang..." Xie Siqing couldn't help thinking about decades later, "When the two of us stop filming, what should we do every day?"

"Hmm..." Zhong Yang also thought about it, "Go out for a walk, watch a movie when you come back, and then hug each other every day, and lie on the bed and talk."

Xie Siqing smiled: "It sounds good too."

"Then, if you can do it, do it."

"...What?" Xie Siqing thought he heard it wrong, "still do it?"

Zhong Yang took it for granted, "Of course."

"..." Xie Siqing thought for a while, and stopped discussing, reached out and turned off the light, "Go to sleep."

"Um."

Then, in the dark, Xie Siqing felt himself being hugged again.

Xie Siqing still feels incredible when thinking about her previous life.

At that time, I absolutely never thought that I would love this person so much.

After thinking about it, Xie Siqing said, "Hello...Zhong Yang."

"Um?"

"We...will be together forever."

"nonsense."

"..."

It's really nonsense...

Xie Siqing rubbed the opponent's chin with his hair.

Tomorrow... I still have to go to the set.

A career for a lifetime, a lover for a lifetime.

Perhaps, for some people, this kind of life is very boring.

However, Xie Siqing was sure that at this moment, and in the very long future, these were the only things he wanted.
