"Gao Lang is not acting anymore?" Zhu Sha held up the phone blankly, while Mu Ning just closed his eyes on the sofa relying on the effect of medicine.She didn't dare to wake Mu Ning, so she lowered her voice and said, "Are you sure?"

"Now I have the intention to resign." Guo Chengwei was also battered: "Please tell Mu Ning, this matter is urgent."

"Have you talked to Mr. Zhuang?" Zhu Sha asked.

"Do I dare?" Guo Chengwei said, "Mu Ning can solve this matter, you believe me. Gao Lang is the one who talked about it!"

What Guo Chengwei didn't know was that during this period of time, Mu Ning suffered from insomnia all night and had to take medicine to rest for a few hours.He put all his energy into the filming of "Love You For a Long Time", even a little too much.

Zhuang Yao often came to pick Mu Ning home in person, and occasionally came earlier, and stood by the monitor to watch Mu Ning act.

Just finished filming a scene last week in which Lacey gets bullied in the men's room.After that scene was filmed, everyone in the audience fell silent, even the director Guo Chengwei stared at the monitor and forgot to call cut.No one called to stop, and the camera continued to shoot indifferently. Lacey squatted on the ground, sobbing silently.The thin shoulders trembled, and the fingernails got stuck in the flesh of the palm, which looked painful.

Zhuang Yao was a bystander, but Mu Ning was a little too involved in the drama.The previous incident made him and Lacey have a real resonance, so the performance was not a performance, but Lacey used Munning's body to vent and neigh.

Zhuang Yao understands that this is very dangerous, but Mu Ning's shooting condition is really good at this time, if it was Gu Qiming, he probably wouldn't call it a stop.

So he only asked Zhu Sha to take good care of Mu Ning.

Cinnabar doesn't have the time to take care of Mu Ning.She watched from the outside of the set, and understood that what Mu Ning was trying to express at this time was her despair of having nowhere to go to heaven and nowhere to go down to earth. She cried harder than Lacey.

After hanging up the phone, Zhu Sha gently woke up Mu Ning. The latter pinched the bridge of his nose and his sore eye sockets. The effect of the medicine made him drowsy.

"Gao Lang is going to resign."

"Why?" Mu Ning heard a thunderbolt from the blue sky, but couldn't understand: "The filming is more than halfway done."

Zhu Sha also couldn't convey clearly, and said to make an appointment for Mu Ning and Gao Lang to meet and talk.If the production team delays for a day, it is a day's money.As soon as possible.

That night, Mu Ning was very anxious. After insomnia, he came out of the room at two in the morning and walked to the movie screening room like a night wanderer.Zhuang Yao also woke up inexplicably in the middle of the night, passing by the bathroom, he saw fluorescent light leaking from the crack in the door of the room.

He pushed open the door and saw Mu Ning sitting cross-legged on the ground with a half glass of red wine in his hand.

Zhuang Yao leaned against the door and stared at it for a long time before he knocked on the door and went in, asking, "What are you looking at?"

"The night of the premiere." Mu Ning replied.

"Crazy Gena Rowlands." Zhuang Yao sat down beside Mu Ning and asked him to pour another glass of wine.

At that time, the movie of more than two hours had come to an end.

"You said, what is the boundary between us and the character?" Munning asked in confusion, "Or, is there a boundary?"

"us?"

"You also studied acting, right?" Mu Ning asked back.

Zhuang Yao laughed, clinked glasses with Mu Ning, and said, "You will meet many characters in your life. If you count the shooting time and the off-screen preparation time, if you experience more time than expected, it will be half a year at most. For half a year, forget yourself and live as your character. But from the moment you finish filming, you have to remember who you are. You are the teller, the carrier, and the characters are born because of you, but you are not born because of them Yes. The limit of existence is your will."

Mu Ning looked at the close-up on the screen and murmured, "My will..."

Zhuang Yao patted Mu Ning's head affectionately: "Your master and Teacher Gu will both be proud of you."

"Did Zhu Sha tell you? Gao Lang is going to resign." Mu Ning said.

Zhuang Yao wasn't surprised, and said, "I heard about it. I'll handle it."

"No need." Mu Ning looked at Zhuang Yao, and the fluorescent light from the screen fell into his eyes, glowing brightly: "This is my play, I'm looking for an actor. I can solve it."

This is what Zhuang Yao saw deeply in his eyes when he first met Mu Ning.That is to say, when he really let go of his passion and ego, he realized that Mu Ning has always been beautiful.Even, maybe Mu Ning never changed.

It's just my own heart that has changed.

"Okay." Zhuang Yao said with a smile, "You can do it, I believe in you."

When Gao Lang learned that "Love You For a Long Time" had no hope of winning the dragon mark, he felt like he was on a thief ship.

When it was first set, Guo Chengwei quietly told him that the film was invested by Juheng, and that the background of Juheng was as hard as an iron plate. If some scenes were cut as required, it would not be impossible for it to be shown in theaters.With this background, Gao Lang signed the contract with confidence.Unexpectedly, the situation changed drastically in just a short while. Two days ago, he heard from the gossip that Zhuang Yao had withdrawn from the Juheng Group. I am afraid that he will issue a shareholder letter and other documents for formal confirmation in two days.

Gao Lang finally understood, isn't this the play Zhuang Yao specially prepared for his little lover?

But now that Juheng is gone, even if Zhuang Yao is still there, is he weak enough to turn the tide and bring him back to life?

When Mu Ning found him, Gao Lang's sick leave had already reached the last day.It's time for the showdown.

"This play really doesn't mean much to me." Gao Lang said, "I understand that resignation at this time will have a great impact on you, but I think since the management is your own, there is no problem, right?"

"What?" Mu Ning asked, "What's your own?"

Gao Lang's attitude was uncharacteristically contemptuous.He got to this point on his own. A person like Mu Ning, who relies on unspoken rules for his position, still overwhelms him. He already feels uncomfortable in his heart.

"You don't know? Zhuang Yao invested in this play."

Mu Ning didn't know.From top to bottom, from the director to the actors, no one told him about it.

"It's not a company called Rainforest Culture..."

"That's a company under Zhuang Yao's name." Gao Lang sprayed second-hand smoke on Mu Ning's face: "No way, you don't even know if you are a couple?"

Mu Ning only felt a thump in his heart. He remembered that when Zhuang Yao mentioned "Love You For Long", there was always a lingering gloom in his eyes. He seldom thought about it, but he did notice it.

However, the current Mu Ning no longer puts Zhuang Yao before everything.He only kept this question in his heart, and then he opened up the real topic neatly: "It's not important, what's important is that you can't resign now."

……

Guo Chengwei was at home, anxiously waiting for Mu Ning's call, as if waiting for a death sentence—the default phone rang, Guo Chengwei grabbed it, and tremblingly pressed the answer button:

"Hello? How's it going?"

There was a moment of silence where the electric current sounded, and then he said, "He agreed."

"Congratulations." When Zhuang Yao returned home, he brought a bottle of good wine and a bouquet of flowers: "I heard from Director Guo that you have mastered Gao Lang's work."

Mu Ning looked at Zhuang Yao, who was always dusty recently, and thought of Gao Lang's words again.

He took the wine from Zhuang Yao and asked casually, "What does "Love You For a Long Time" mean to you?"

Zhuang Yao was a little surprised, "Why do you ask this suddenly?"

"I heard from Gao Lang today that Rainforest Culture is your company. This was originally your play, so you didn't withhold the script - you delayed it until then and decided to give it to me." Mu Ning's eyes A sharp light burst out, and he asked aggressively, "Isn't it?"

Zhuang Yao put down the bouquet and nodded: "To be precise, it has always been yours."

Mu Ning sat down on the sofa, feeling like sitting on pins and needles.

"Why... do you always give me the illusion?" Mu Ning seemed to be asking, but also seemed to be talking to himself.

Zhuang Yao understood what Mu Ning was thinking.

He is afraid.I'm afraid that these are all his wishful thinking, and they are all repeats of the past ten years.He was afraid that he would be trapped in such a cycle, so he was willing to sink.Afraid that he would become the humble Mu Ning again.

The fear and uneasiness of being overwhelmed is like the siren that will be blared endlessly when a village near the sea is facing a storm.

The man squatted in front of Mu Ning, raised his head slightly, and gently stroked his face with his generous palms.

"It's not an illusion, I assure you." Zhuang Yao's eyes were as gentle as a piece of shining amber, and he repeated: "I assure you."

Mu Ning lowered his eyes and did not answer.

Zhuang Yao pressed a kiss on his forehead, and said, "I'll take you to London when you're finished."

"London?"

Zhuang Yao nodded: "There is the answer you want."

The author has something to say: Mu Ning has been to all the cities where Zhuang Yao has lived!This chapter is written in fragments, and the omitted part may be written in the extra episode~
