Can't fly

After the press conference was held, the eyes of the circle who were far away from the unlucky crew of "Falling Into the Water" were all focused on them again.Near the Rongjun studio, there are always some shooting highlights every day.

With the mentality of watching a joke, they wanted to know whether this cutting-edge director could only talk and talk, and whether he could really turn the tide.

So even though he has become indifferent to Yang Yuanyi, Fang Fei will still passively receive information about him and "Falling into the Water" from various channels.The filming of his TV series has entered the final stage. The 30-episode series has a shorter filming cycle than expected. Director Zhang Shunlin visually predicts that it will be officially completed by the end of May.

Maybe Yang Yuanyi's repeated emphasis at the press conference played a role, or maybe Tang Ao collected more evidence, and the lawyer successfully filed two cases of marketing accounts spreading rumors one after another. The so-called "scandal" that was raging a while ago was temporarily suppressed.

But Fang Fei knew clearly that it was impossible to reverse everyone's perception, the only way to be serious about filming.

He thought he still loved acting.

If he was really afraid of the camera, he would not have agreed without thinking when Chu Yin found him.Entering this industry seems to be accidental, but it is in line with the trajectory of life, which is not an accident.

The lead actors of the film crew were wrapping up one after another, and the filming was entering the final stage. Everyone worked hard and didn't want anything to go wrong.

The same is true for Fang Fei. After the end of each day, he returns to the hotel to recite his lines, but for no reason, he never went to the hotel garden, which is very suitable for solitude, and just keeps himself bored in the room.

In mid-May, Hongshi suddenly heated up after several heavy rains, approaching 5 or 34 degrees in the afternoon.

The flowering period of acacia is over, but the air is still filled with lazy aroma, hot, sticky and humid.

On this day, I spent several hours in the sun on location, at least I finished shooting all the shots.

After eating, it was already 9:[-] in the evening when we ushered in our own private time.Fang Fei took a shower, changed into comfortable pajamas, and planned to rest before preparing for the next day's scene.

The phone on the bedside suddenly started vibrating frantically.

Fang Fei picked it up, and the finger that was habitually ready to press the answer first froze when he saw the number clearly.

He doesn't need to memorize or make notes, this 11-digit mobile phone number has already been engraved in his blood.

...Yang Yuanyi.

Fang Fei's heart trembled, and when he recovered, he had hung up without hesitation.

They don't have much to say, do they?

But Yang Yuanyi obviously didn't think so, the phone was hung up, and the second and third calls persisted.

Yang Yuanyi seldom does this, and when he senses the other party's resistance, he will usually stop bothering him knowingly.The last time a similar situation happened between the two was when he knew that Yang Yuanyi was going to go to Yu Nuo's concert, and it never happened again after that.Yang Yuanyi was looking for him so urgently all of a sudden, coupled with the recent turmoil on the crew...

Fang Fei frowned, thinking: What happened again, do you need to ask me?

When countless calls came in, Fang Fei finally answered, "Director Yang?"

He was officially too indifferent, and it took a while for Yang Yuanyi to say "hmm" in a daze, and then the distance became unbelievably far away, and his voice became blurred: "Did I call you?"..."

"You have played many times." Fang Fei felt that the matter was not simple, "Is there something wrong?"

"Sorry, I made a typo. I'm just—"

He usually speaks clearly and reacts quickly, but now he looks like a drunk or a sick man.

Fang Fei's heart sank slightly when he heard the hesitant voice from far away, and for some reason, he prevented him from hanging up the phone: "Where are you?"

There was a long pause there, completely unexpected that Fang Fei would pay more attention to him, so he remained silent for a while.

"Yang Yuanyi?" Fang Fei said in a deep voice, "What's wrong with you?"

"I..." He was unresponsive, and his words were mixed with the messy breathing when he bumped, "I'm on the set, yes... I'm going back to my room to rest, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you. It's so late, have you already Sleeping?... Forget it, there is no need to answer, Ah Fei doesn't want to talk to me a long time ago."

Fang Fei heard it sourly, and felt sorry for him: "Have you been drinking?"

"No." Yang Yuanyi denied it categorically, and then, as if he was afraid of being found out that he was lying, he said reluctantly, "Okay, I drank a little, not much, you know I'm a good drinker."

"That's good." Fang Fei said, "You also go to bed early, I'll die."

"do not--"

The sudden increase in the volume, Fang Fei's fingertips also seemed to have a flash of lightning, which made him shudder uncontrollably.

"Huh?" His nasal voice was light and fluttering.

Yang Yuanyi was probably looking for a place to sit, because Fang Fei heard something falling to the ground, so he lowered his voice, afraid that others would hear him say: "A Fei, I want to chat with you more, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Fang Fei almost laughed, he wanted to ask "Are you still determined", but he still felt that Yang Yuanyi was not normal today.

"Okay, what are we talking about?"

"I don't know." Yang Yuanyi said honestly, "I can't sleep recently, maybe the movie is too stressful. It's so difficult to shoot, I may never want to make a movie after I finish this movie... I'm too tired Ah Fei, I'm too tired Yes, I have to take medicine before going to bed to be relieved for a while. I really regret it, if we...you are still on the set, will none of this happen?"

Fang Fei kept silent. He glanced at the time and instinctively answered Yang Yuanyi that it was meaningless.

He seems to just need an outlet, not to be judged or comforted, and any extra words are useless to him.

"Probably not, then you may feel more uncomfortable." He really answered to himself, "Seeing that everyone in your current crew treats you very well, I think you still don't need me..."

"..."

"But I need you very much now." Yang Yuanyi seemed to smile, "Afei, you pretended that I was drinking too much and called you to talk nonsense... Sorry, I shouldn't have said that, it's about to rot—"

His voice became smaller and smaller, the phone was hung up suddenly, and when the busy tone pierced the auditory nerve sharply, Fang Fei felt as if his heart was tightly grasped by someone, and he had difficulty breathing for a moment.

Taking medicine, not being able to sleep, drinking alcohol...?

A certain possibility flashed through his mind.

Fang Fei sat up abruptly.

He gave up trying to find out whether Yang Yuanyi was pretending to be pitiful, intentionally upset him, or simply acted—of course the director knows what emotions are best handled by actors—in order to make him change his mind.

Dragging out Liu Shanni's number from the address book, Fang Fei gave up and contacted a closer person instead.

After a while, a sleepy male voice came from the other end of the phone: "A Fei?"

"Brother Jue." Fang Fei said straightforwardly, "Can you do me a favor? Go to Director Yang's room and have a look."

Rong County Central Hospital, Shen Jue did not go back to the hotel directly after accompanying Shen Yao for the examination, but walked around the building to the lobby on the third floor of the inpatient department. Frail people placement.

By the window, separated by a screen, before Shen Jue approached, he first heard someone with a weak but firm voice inside.

"...Either you just wait, or let Jingcheng shoot first, that's the only way."

He paused, but still turned behind the screen.

The man on the hospital bed was still receiving fluids in his right hand, his face was pale and bloodless, and he nodded slightly when he saw him as a greeting.There was a computer on the small table, Shen Jue dragged a stool and sat down beside him.He noticed a conspicuous plush toy next to the pillow at a glance, and he couldn't help being attracted to it.

A brown puppy with a big palm and a scarf around its neck. It is very delicate and well-behaved.

What is more eye-catching is the other cactus at the scarf.

It looks like a brooch, but the diamonds are not neat at first glance for some reason, and there are traces of repair.Shen Jue wanted to pick it up and study it, but felt that it was not his own, so he suppressed his curiosity.

He continued to read a mystery novel on his phone, taking the conversation between Yang Yuanyi and the computer as the background music.

"I'll talk about that later." Chen Yusheng asked, "Yang Yuanyi, were you crazy yesterday? After drinking and taking sleeping pills, if you don't want to take pictures, just say, don't scare me, a heart attack almost made you angry."

Yang Yuanyi's lips were still pale: "I forgot to drink."

Chen Yusheng didn't believe it: "You have gastric lavage and injections. Do you think you are still in your twenties? Take care of yourself and break your body for a movie. How dare I hand over the project to you in the future?"

The other half of the screen of Yang Yuanyi's computer was still running on the software to simulate the framing of the action scene, so he said "hmm".

"Did you hear me?"

"Listen." Yang Yuanyi was finally willing to move his eyes, "Isn't this alive and kicking?"

When Chen Yusheng saw his appearance, he really didn't know where it was related to "jumping and jumping", so he rolled his eyes in the video: "Then what are you going to do? Are you really asking Jingcheng to shoot it?"

"For a while." Yang Yuanyi pinched his temples, "I'm still going to the set to watch."

Chen Yusheng: "Okay, the lead actor is not here, how do you plan to shoot?"

He deliberately made things difficult, but Yang Yuanyi quickly came up with a plan: "Ye Xiehui and I have screened the script from beginning to end, picked out all the scenes where A Jiang was the main perspective, and changed his injury to a hand injury. Cooperate with Shen Yao, try to shoot as many literary and drama scenes as possible. The action scenes will be finished after he has rested."

"But this is not the solution." Chen Yusheng sighed, "Either we should pause first?"

Yang Yuanyi: "What?"

Chen Yusheng said calmly: "Suspend all the progress of "Falling into the Water", while our publicity is not up... I will deal with the investors."

Yang Yuanyi was a little anxious for a moment: "But..."

"I know you're reluctant and far-fetched, but the current team is unstable, so it's actually the best plan." Chen Yusheng comforted him, "The project is still yours. When you're in good shape, the actors' side will also complete the coordination. All difficulties are dealt with when we restart..."

"No. It's not easy to adjust the actor's schedule."

"You don't want to go your own way anymore!" Chen Yusheng emphasized, "It's been less than two months since filming, the leading actor resigned, the director was scandalized, the actors were harassed, Shen Yao was injured and you are now sick... If something happens casually, no matter what. Shuotian or I really can't bear the loss, money, reputation. How do you want me to explain to the board of directors?"

Yang Yuanyi kept his mouth shut, and there was no light in his gray-blue eyes.

Chen Yusheng: "Yuanyi, we still have a few projects this year. If it weren't for your face, "Falling into the Water" would never be the highlight... The board of directors has already voted, and all progress will be suspended."

Equivalent to the final verdict, Yang Yuanyi snorted without commenting.

"Then what else do you discuss with me?"

Then, without waiting for Chen Yusheng to answer, he directly pressed the close button.

There were few people in the ward, the windows were half open, and the outside was gloomy, and a heavy rain was inevitable.The weather was so stuffy that people were sticky all over, Yang Yuanyi tapped the keyboard twice, and suddenly threw the mouse aside in agitation.

Seeing all this, Shen Jue said unhurriedly: "Actually, I also think it's better to suspend shooting now."

"why?!"

Shen Jue said, "Your condition is very bad."

Yang Yuanyi's pupils shrank a bit: "Do you also think I'm just not suitable for commercial films?"

"It doesn't matter what type it is, as long as you are serious, there is nothing bad to shoot." Shen Jue shook his head, "In fact, you are full of resistance to this matter in your heart, and you are not satisfied no matter how you shoot it. But is it possible for Fang Fei to come back?"

It was clear that he was stung, but Yang Yuanyi said stubbornly, "It's okay without him."

"Really?" Shen Jue asked, "But if there was no Fang Fei yesterday, what would you do now?"

He suddenly misfired, pursed his lips, and stopped talking.

His drinking capacity is not so bad that he can talk nonsense after drinking two glasses, and he still has some memories of calling Fang Fei.At the very first time when he accidentally bumped into each other and was hung up, Yang Yuanyi suddenly seemed to have blood rushing to his head, and with the strength of alcohol, he punched one after another. When he finally heard the voice, he didn't know what to say.

Fang Fei was still willing to talk to him, and was even willing to remind Shen Jue to come and have a look after discovering something abnormal.

This made Yang Yuanyi more at a loss than blocking him.

If it's the latter, he can understand that the other party has hatred in his heart, and he knows where to start to untie the knot slowly.Hate him, at least it means you still care.

But Fang Fei is just as polite and distant as he is to anyone he knows.

The obedience of the past, the tears, the bright eyes when looking at him, the careful kiss when hugging him, the fingertips that were secretly held when walking, the iced coffee I bought, the plush puppy in the hat and what he asked for Glass bracelet...

It seemed as if it disappeared overnight.

"Pause first." Shen Jue persuaded, "Recognize what you really want."

"...I want him to come back, even if we get to know each other again." Yang Yuanyi said dejectedly, "but now he makes me feel that everything is futile, and he will never look at me again."

Fang Fei gave him so much love, silent but everywhere.

He needs Fang Fei.

Even if Fang Fei didn't say a word, he just stayed by his side.
