Can't fly

Falling asleep in the early morning, Yang Yuanyi woke up unexpectedly when it was dawn.He doesn't dream much, and sometimes he doesn't remember the content of the dream. He just feels as if someone is choking his breath, so he opens his eyes suddenly.

A little bit of body temperature remained beside him, and it dissipated instantly with Yang Yuanyi's movement of lifting the quilt.

Fang Fei has already left.

Yang Yuanyi propped himself up and sat on the head of the bed. Insufficient sleep is his normal state, but he has never been immersed in sea water from his mind to his body like now. The weightlessness is obvious, and the fatigue is always with him.

He clearly knew that he had only slept for less than three hours.

Eyes adapted to the darkness, Yang Yuanyi saw the scattered clothes beside the bed, the empty wine bottle on the sofa, and the cup fell into the corner between the carpet and the wall, with absurdity written everywhere.

Yang Yuanyi got up and put on a dress, put the empty cup and wine bottle back on the table.

Not long ago, he and Fang Fei kissed for the last time.

In the beginning, it was indeed just drinking. In order to relax Fang Fei who was usually filming, Yang Yuanyi brought the wine from home to Rong County and put it in the freezer in Fang Fei's room.He picked a bottle of Macallan, put an ice in the glass, the amber liquid was immersed in it, the scent was sweet, with a cloying creamy taste.

Fang Fei doesn't know how to drink, and when he has something on his mind, he talks less, so he keeps picking up the cup and pouring it down.

Yang Yuanyi didn't persuade him to drink more slowly, it was also uncomfortable, they both drank several glasses in silence without clinking glasses.Yang Yuanyi's acceptance is good, which is nothing to him usually, but when he raised his head, he saw that Fang Fei's eyes were a little loose.

Not to get drunk, but to be slightly drunk is the most wonderful state, to magnify every subtle change of the senses, and to rise buoyantly, so that the emotions become fragile and sensitive, as if the bad depression that is usually suppressed can be vented out, don't worry What are the consequences - fuck it, get out!

After the fourth cup, Fang Fei propped his forehead, half lying on the side of the bed, and suddenly called out his name.

"Yang Yuanyi..."

"Huh?" Knelt down and looked at Fang Fei in front of him.

The young man had a beautiful face that he would never forget, and his eyes were dark. At this moment, his eyes were slightly absent, and spread out as if they could not focus, covering him with scorching heat.

Fang Fei covered half of his face with one hand, with an annoyed expression, his lips curled down.

He murmured, as if talking to himself.

"I drank too much, Teacher Yang, I can't stand up..."

Heart collapsed, Yang Yuanyi almost wanted to kiss him immediately.

He leaned forward, and was about to dodge the second before his breath touched Fang Fei——

Fang Fei suddenly hugged him tightly.

So the entanglement seemed to be a matter of course. No one mentioned it, but both of them knew that this was the "last time".The kiss was extraordinarily ferocious, entangled with the rising body temperature, Yang Yuanyi had difficulty breathing like drowning at this time for the first time, wishing he could suffocate so that he would not have to face the next dawn without him.

When they are most affectionate, they like to watch each other's expression change every second, kiss at any time, and don't give up until their lips are red and swollen, but today they tacitly chose the posture of the back.

Yang Yuanyi pressed his forehead to Fang Fei's shoulder deeply and reverently, listening to his heartbeat getting faster and faster.

Press the hipbones until both of you are moaning in pain.

There were no love words or teasing, they finished in silence and each lay down on the side.

Yang Yuanyi habitually wanted to hug Fang Fei and let him lean in his arms. The slightly warm body temperature would be warmer because of the intimate contact, and an indescribable attachment would arise.But halfway through his hand, Fang Fei immediately turned over and avoided him as if he had expected his thoughts, and continued to turn his back on him. In the dark, he could see the marks left by Fang Fei on his back and neck.

Fang Fei's skin is fair and leaves no marks easily, but his recovery ability is very fast. In less than three days, these places will be as clean as new.

He stared at Fang Fei steadily, his eyelids getting heavier and heavier.

When Fang Fei left, Yang Yuanyi was conscious. He didn't say "goodbye" or "be careful when you leave", but continued to pretend to be sleepy to relieve Fang Fei's complicated emotions when he had to face him.

Obviously we have finished talking about breaking up, and we have finished drinking. Only by saying goodbye politely can we retain a little memory.

They shouldn't have done it this time, but unfortunately no one could bear to stop halfway.

At dawn, the morning light slowly illuminates the messy room through a small piece of unclosed white gauze curtain.Yang Yuanyi saw through the moment of clearness blown by the wind, and saw the silver light shining softly on the sea in the distance.

He suddenly remembered the dream of the previous three hours.

There was also a sea in the dream, the beach was like snow, and the moon was bright. He walked aimlessly, straight ahead, without seeing the horizon.But suddenly someone caught up from behind and jumped onto his back.

Yang Yuanyi hooked the man's knee reflexively, and before he could turn his head, he was kissed resoundingly on the side.

"A Fei..."

He shouted with a smile in his dream, turned his head, but his heart beat fast and woke him up.

Slightly dazed, Yang Yuanyi suddenly realized:

This was the first time since he could remember who appeared in his dream.

About a week later, "Falling Water" officially announced that the leading actor Fang Fei had withdrawn from filming due to physical reasons.

When the news spread, it did not cause an uproar as expected.

Fang Fei has not become famous to that extent, and he can easily attract the media to chase and report on every move; moreover, the biggest gimmick of the drama "Falling into the Water" is Shen Jue. That's fine, as for who it is, it seems that everyone doesn't care.

In March, due to Fang Fei's absence, the crew of "Falling into the Water", which was suspended for 3 days, ushered in another audition for the male lead "A Jiang".

According to Wan Chenyun's request, the delivered video clips were edited together and played quickly, from which he would intuitively select the people who entered the second round of interviews.This method puts high demands on the director, and Wan Chenyun, who was born in documentary film, quickly exposed his problems.

He doesn't choose people at all, or in other words, he doesn't choose actors who fit the story.

Wan Chenyun had no criteria for selecting candidates, he just wanted to be pleasing to the eye. The first-round interviewees ranged from freshmen from the acting academy to old fritters who had been in the entertainment industry for many years. Good and bad, few of them could meet Yang Yuanyi's requirements.

When it came to the second round, Yang Yuanyi asked him to act as quickly as possible, so he contradicted Yang Yuanyi and deliberately said, "If the person you choose is unreliable, don't interfere with who I choose", which made Yang Yuanyi unable to get off the stage.

After doing this several times, even if Yang Yuanyi is a clay figurine, he should be very angry.

He returned to Pingjing and refused to go to the set.

In the final analysis, the problem is unresolved, so he can only work hard to numb himself, but the work is also stuck in a bottleneck. Seeing that the investor has changed from "quite critical" to "slightly dissatisfied", Yang Yuanyi is so stressed that he has insomnia one after another.

Since he stepped into this industry, he has never encountered such a serious setback.

Compared with him, Fang Fei seems to be going smoothly.

The re-casting of "Falling into the Water" was a mess. On the other hand, Zhang Shunlin officially announced that Fang Fei will play the second male lead in the TV series "Fledgling" directed by him.

The urban group portrait, which has become popular in recent years, tells the story of a few young people who have just graduated from college and rented the same big villa by chance, and the resulting intersection of emotions and careers.

Fang Fei's role is said to be the male lead, but in fact, the role is no different from the male lead.

He is a bit of a nerd, silly, lively and persistent, a little paranoid, and had a fruitless relationship with his female boss.For the audience, it subverts Fang Fei's previous screen image, but it also has something in common with the first two roles.For this reason, he was dubbed a "professional household in the next year" and was very popular with his sisters.

Looking at the news intentionally sent by Liu Shanni on the phone, Yang Yuanyi was in a complicated mood and replied with a question mark.

Sanny: Ah Fei’s makeup photos are also pretty good.

Sanny: I don't know when it will be broadcast~

Yang: ...

Yang: Ask Director Zhang

Sanny: [lol]

She teased Yang Yuanyi a few times with Fang Fei like casual chatting, and then backed away.

As Cheng Shu's big secret, Liu Shanni and Yang Yuanyi's cooperation must be close, whether it's a personal relationship, Yang Yuanyi can tell what she has in mind at a glance-she thinks it's a pity that the two are separated, and it's not easy to say it directly, so Insinuating about Fang Fei's movements, lest Yang Yuanyi forget him.

But how can I forget it?

He had a dream recently, and the sporadic fragments he could remember were all about Fang Fei.

He now knows that Fang Fei wants "I love you", and he thinks he can look at the relationship between the two again with a head-to-head attitude.He's already starting to do it, but it's meaningless if it's too late.

There's prime time for rescues, and there's prime time for apologies, and he's already missed it.

They've all been busy lately, and they don't even have an excuse to meet.

"Fledgling" was filmed in Hongshi, and Fang Fei also went.Yang Yuanyi happened to find out that most of the news about him was related to this crew. The actors were all about the same age. With them, Fang Fei could see that he was relaxed and at ease.

On Fang Fei's social homepage, new friends and tidbits pushed the traces about him to the back.

One day, Yang Yuanyi suffered from insomnia again because of casting. He turned Fang Fei's homepage to the bottom, and found that at some point, Fang Fei deleted the tidbit that he reposted.

This time I just opened my eyes until dawn.

When it was almost eight o'clock, Liu Shanni called desperately.Before he could ask, the other party rushed to report another news——

He Yaojia, one of the supporting actors of the film crew, reported director Wan Chenyun's attempted sexual assault on him.

He Yaojia is a senior student of the Film Academy, not an unknown person, he is an actor and a popular Internet celebrity at the same time.In his report letter, he described in detail how Wan Chenyun took advantage of his position to invite him to his room on the grounds of "individual instruction" and "adding drama" after work, and then sexually harassed him, but it was unsuccessful.

This is the first time he participated in a movie, and his anger can be imagined.Fortunately, He Yaojia did not lose his mind and directly disclosed it, but found Shuotian, who is the producer.

This is almost a disaster for the crew.

For Yang Yuanyi, it made him instantly relieved from his work mood that was on the verge of collapse.

He rushed to the Shuotian office building on Yushan Road. In the meeting room, Chen Yusheng, Cheng Shu, and several management personnel were silent, the silence was hopeless.

The evidence was laid out, chat records and phone recordings were all available, and Wan Chenyun didn't know it yet.

The starring role has not yet been decided, and a report letter has been received from the director. Even if the management trusts Cheng Shu, they still have to doubt whether the project of "Falling into the Water" can continue.

"How do you say it?" Chen Yusheng knocked on the table, and he was visibly tired.

Cheng Shu was silent.

Chen Yusheng: "Yuanyi, the person you recommend, you have to give me an explanation."

Yang Yuanyi's tone was flat and natural: "That can only be replaced."

"It's easy for you to say...the lead actor hasn't been found yet, and now even the director has to be changed?!"

Yang Yuanyi leaned back in his chair, somehow, he was relieved when he got the news: "He Yaojia didn't expose it immediately, but chose to find a relationship and pass it to us, so he must have left behind. If we ignore it, the next step, I guess there will be tomorrow's hot search terms? What is he trying to do, Fang Fei is gone, is he planning to exchange the leading roles with us with this?"

What he said was reasonable, but Chen Yusheng felt anxious like a sore on his tongue: "He thinks beautifully! Is Shuotian really doing charity? Even if I don't do this project, it's impossible for He Yaojia to play the male lead!"

Yang Yuanyi snorted coldly, with a half-smile.

Chen Yusheng pursed his lips and asked, "Do you have a candidate?"

"No."

"Then you still-"

"Wan Chenyun's No.1 choice is Zhao Dali. But he will join Xie Chuan's "Seagull" in July this year, and he will definitely not be able to finish filming before then. Zhao Dali never cuts a role." Yang Yuanyi said helplessly. Anxiety overlapped, and he spoke urgently, "I can't use newcomers to take the lead in this film, it's too risky. Even if you don't consider the box office appeal, you should think about whether you can catch Shen Jue's play? I know you have thought about contacting Shen Jue." Yao, that's fine, but my ugly words are up front, so Shen Yao may not like it!"

This is already the third time they have cooperated, and it was the first time Chen Yusheng saw Yang Yuanyi get so angry.He couldn't help restraining his temper, and took a sip of tea: "I said something wrong, please calm down."

Yang Yuanyi took a deep breath, propped his forehead with both hands, and felt a splitting headache.

The atmosphere was stiff again. After a long time, Cheng Shu tentatively asked, "Should we solve the director's problem first? Wan Chenyun will definitely change, after all, if there is a big trouble..."

Chen Yusheng cast his eyes on the person sitting against the light.

Yang Yuanyi had a premonition that Wan Chenyun, whom he recommended, should be responsible, even if he was 12 unwilling, after the accident happened, he seemed to have no choice.

"I can take it first," he said, "until you find someone more suitable."

Everyone present seemed to relax for a moment at the same time.

Yang Yuanyi changed the subject: "But I still want to win over Fang Fei and ask him if he can continue playing 'A Jiang'."
