clown face

Chapter 11

Shen Tao was just finishing recording the show when he heard someone shout: "Ah Chen, someone brought you love soup."

The people in their program group are used to laughing and joking, and when they heard that they were all around, the person was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and winked and said, "Wow, the private soup of Yueruge, it's a hot item, I want to drink it." You have to book in advance, your girlfriend gave it to you, it's really sweet."

Alison was already bouncing over, lifted the lid of the cup and pretended to smell it, and said, "Wow, it smells so good, Ah Chen, the girlfriend you found this time is not bad, just as I have been staying up late recently and feel that my skin is not good..."

"Let's go, you, the love soup from Ah Chen's girlfriend, what are you doing?"

Alison smiled and didn't take it seriously, but Shen Tao was grateful to her for being so familiar, otherwise he would have received such a cup of soup for no reason, and he would have been a little annoyed to deal with it when his colleagues asked him. Said: "Let's drink together, there are so many anyway."

"Okay," Alison cheered. There were no bowls and chopsticks in the recording studio, so she brought paper cups, one cup for each person. The portion of Yueruige's private soup is not much, so it can only be distributed to the main people present, and other peripheral staff members do not have it. up.

"Is it really from your girlfriend?"

When Shen Tao turned his head, Li Sen stood beside him at some point, looking at him strangely.

"Oh, what, Director Li also drinks." Shen Tao changed the topic, and handed him a cup of soup from the table.

Li Sen took it but didn't drink it, and still asked: "Why doesn't your girlfriend cook it herself? Love, shouldn't she do it herself?"

Shen Tao felt that his words were harsh, but he still smiled and said: "Nowadays, there are fewer people who know how to make soup, and it is more convenient to order."

"What about you?" Li Sen persisted, "You don't mind?"

Shen Tao laughed and said, "I wish I had some soup. Ah, Alison seems to be looking for you."

He easily pushed Li Sen to the crazy female anchor, walked out of the recording studio and walked to the terrace.After the smoking ban in Hong Kong, there was only one smoking room left in the TV station. He usually doesn't go there, and he doesn't have a cigarette addiction, but for some reason, now he really wants to smoke one.

It's really Tang Anyao's style to order soup and water in Yueju Pavilion. It's obviously a greeting that he bought by hand, but he does it with warmth.Shen Tao smiled, straightened his hair indifferently, turned around and entered the recording studio, accidentally bumped into someone else, before he said he was sorry, he suddenly realized that the person seemed to be Li Sen again.

"Director Li? What's the matter?" Shen Tao asked calmly.

"Ah Chen, I hope you don't blame me for being troublesome, but we are working together, and I am very optimistic about you..." Li Sen looked at him hesitantly.

This kind of opener usually comes with a "but" classy twist.Contacting Tang Anyao, whose reputation was notorious recently, Shen Tao couldn't help frowning and said, "Director Li, please speak up if you have anything to say."

"Well, I'll just say it straight." Li Sen took a step closer and said seriously, "I took you back that day and saw Tang Anyao downstairs."

Shen Tao opened his eyes wide, then calmed down and asked, "You read wrong."

"It's not wrong," Li Sen said, "I told you, our family is a family friend with the Tang family. I have known him since I was a child. I will admit to everyone, but he will not."

Shen Tao said lightly: "It sounds like you have been secretly in love with him for many years."

"No, how could I..." Li Sen sighed, and said earnestly, "Ah Chen, please listen to my advice, don't continue with Tang Anyao, he is not normal, do you know what his family background is? Famous Jin Shantang, who is supposed to have such a good background, should have helped him a lot, but have you ever thought about why no one has mentioned this in the film industry for so many years?"

"There's no reason for that. Director Tang advocates personal struggle, and that's what I admire about him."

"Don't be so naive, okay?" Li Sen said anxiously, "What kind of personal struggle, Tang Anyao was kicked out..."

"Director Li, do you want to tell me that he is not accepted by the family because of his different sexual orientation?" Shen Tao was a little impatient, but still politely said, "Isn't it enough that Director Tang has been slandered so much by outsiders? I'm sorry , I don't want to hear any more bad comments about him from you."

He wanted to leave after he finished speaking, but Li Sen grabbed his arm and said in a low voice, "Ah Chen, you won't really talk to him... well, I'm not scaring you, he's not normal, he I have been manic since I was a child, and I need to take medicine regularly to stabilize."

Shen Tao ignored him, frowned and said, "Director Li, I really don't want to hear any more."

"Why do you think he came out of the Tang family? He set fire to his own house when he was a teenager, and burned down the entire Tang family house, do you know..."

Li Sen's words stopped abruptly, because Shen Tao turned around suddenly, pushed him against the wall, grabbed his collar and shook his fist. Li Sen never thought that the handsome and gentle young man would have cold eyes and wave When the fists were facing each other, I was more surprised than frightened for a moment, and I didn't know how to react.

Fortunately, Shen Tao's rationality recovered quickly. He took a few deep breaths, put down his fist, loosened Li Sen's collar, and said coldly: "Director Li, I respect you as my boss, but it doesn't mean I have an obligation to listen to you." Nonsense, that's it, sorry I left earlier."

He strode away without turning his head. Li Sen was stunned for a moment, and then added after him: "What I said is absolutely true, if you don't believe me, go to the old newspaper!"

Shen Tao paused for a moment and kept on stepping.

The anger in his chest was almost uncontrollable, he had to clenched his fists to stop the trembling all over, and he wanted to shout somewhere to vent his overwhelming depression.However, in the HT building where he lived, there were people everywhere, so where could the expression on his face be slightly relaxed?

When passing through the lobby on the first floor, a female voice suddenly came from the TV wall on the wall: "The sex scandal directed by Tang Anyao has become more and more serious recently, and today another male artist is involved in this incident."

Shen Tao suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked up. On the TV wall was the report by the female anchor of the HT [-] o'clock news: "The male artist Fei Wenbo personally admitted in an interview with the media today that he did not want to bow his head to Tang Anyao. Voluntarily resign from the new film he is preparing to shoot."

When the camera turned, the popular idol Fei Wenbo lowered his head, his handsome outline was undoubtedly revealed from the well-groomed mid-length hair, he frowned slightly, embarrassed, and said in embarrassment: "Last July, my manager brought me I went to audition in front of Director Tang, and he was not very satisfied at the time, I thought it was hopeless, but a few days later, my agent told me that Director Tang was still considering it, saying that his roles were always only for acquaintances."

The reporter who interviewed him asked: "That is to say, only by becoming Tang Anyao's so-called acquaintance can he participate in his movie?"

"I don't know what this sentence means," Fei Wenbo continued to lower his head.

"What then?"

He seemed too ashamed to add more, and whispered: "Later, my manager asked me if I would like to be his acquaintance."

The reporter pressed on step by step: "You didn't agree?"

Fei Wenbo was silent for a while, raised his head, and said with confusion and earnestness with the sunny and beautiful eyes he is good at presenting in youth idol dramas: "I don't want to agree to this kind of request that has nothing to do with filming."

"Is that why you didn't get a part in his movie?"

Fei Wenbo was completely silent this time, but that's the end of the conversation, so what's the point of saying yes or no?

Shen Tao stared blankly at the close-up of Fei Wenbo's face on the TV wall, and suddenly felt a sense of absurdity.He stood still for a moment before he came back to his senses, trotted out of the HT building, walked to the sidewalk, then took out his mobile phone and called Tang Anyao.

Surprisingly this time, it wasn't Tang Anyao's assistant A Jun who answered the phone, but Tang Anyao himself.His voice seemed to be naturally calm and calm, and with the empathy he had learned over the years, he just said in a low voice: "Taotao? What's the matter?"

Shen Tao suddenly felt that such a big reaction to Fei Wenbo's news was completely unnecessary.

He cleared his cough and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly miss you."

Tang Anyao laughed softly, and said softly: "I'm sorry, these few days are a bit special, I was afraid of dragging you into the water, so I didn't contact you. But don't worry, I have experienced many storms and waves, and this setback can't be overcome I."

"Really?" Shen Tao sighed, "I just saw Fei Wenbo taking advantage of the news."

"Fei Wenbo?" Tang Anyao didn't seem to remember who this person was, turned his head and exchanged a few words with the people around him, and after roughly understanding what was going on, he turned to the phone again and said, "Oh, that kind of star, it's fine If you want to come out to make trouble, you are just like a fly, seeing such a big piece of fat pork exposed to the air, why don’t you rush over?”

Shen Tao smiled slightly and said, "What kind of fat pork are you?"

"How big is it, don't you know?" Tang Anyao said with an ambiguous smile.

Shen Tao scolded: "You might as well change your name to Tang Seng Rou."

"Haha, that's quite an image. I haven't even taken off my clothes yet, and all these monsters want to pounce on me one by one."

"Tang Seng still has at least three apprentices, what should you do?" Shen Tao couldn't help being angry, "You have worked so hard for so many years, how can those people say that about you..."

Tang Anyao said with a smile: "I have no kindness or hatred towards them, why can't I be blamed? You know, it is the instinct of the general public to add insult to injury. It takes a long time of self-discipline to keep silent and not to follow what others say."

Shen Tao sighed slightly, and asked hoarsely: "The video that was exposed before, why did you never doubt me?"

Tang Anyao seemed to hear some joke, and the smile was so full that it overflowed from the phone: "Taotao, you fool, how could I doubt you? How can you make your private video public? Even if it’s just your voice?”

Shen Tao had mixed feelings for a moment, his eyes were inexplicably red, and he choked up, "Brother Tang..."

"Taotao, don't feel sorry for me," Tang Anyao said with strong confidence, disapprovingly, "Remember, even if I start from scratch, within five years I can still make a unique movie, because I am the unique Tang Anyao. These slanderous rumors are nothing today. In a few decades, Chinese film history will still have to write my name.”

His tone turned soft, and he continued: "It's really difficult during this time, and there are still a few tough battles to come, but I don't mind, because you don't know how lucky I am, glad I have you. As long as you believe in me, as long as you I can still be with you, one day we can stand upright and tell others with practical actions that I am not a pervert, I am your lover."

Shen Tao was silent for a long time, then asked hoarsely, "You really think so?"

"Yeah," Tang Anyao pretended to be relaxed, "You don't have so much confidence in me, do you?"

"No," Shen Tao said softly, "You will do it, I know."
