Dreamy

After Chen Ning graduated, his family registered a company for him to make it easier for him to sign a contract.The name of the company is simple, it is called "Performing Art with Heart".

The company was originally opened for Chen Ning, but he didn't take the opportunity to run his own acting career except to pay Ruan Xiaocheng through the company's account.On the contrary, it was Gu Zichuan who had a need for filming, so he recruited many film production employees under the name of acting with heart. Later, when "Wild" was recruiting funds, he changed the name from "acting with heart" to "film with heart".

The name has changed, but the company still belongs to Chen Ning.He didn't accept Gu Zichuan's invitation that day, thinking about it afterwards, it is estimated that what Gu Zichuan wanted to talk about was the separation of the family, and he would still contact him in other ways afterwards.Chen Ning has already thought it over, anyway, there is not a single employee of his in the company, and then he will go through the transfer procedures and take Ruan Xiaocheng away by himself.

He thought so, but Gu Zichuan never looked for him again. "Wild" was released for one month, and the box office closed at [-] million. Chen Ning didn't go to the celebration banquet.

"People's Heart Is Not Ancient" was completed for the second time. When Chen Ning came home, he happened to meet Gu Zichuan's car driving out. They both pretended not to see each other tacitly.

He changed the background of the chat with Gu Zichuan to the default white of the system, deleted the few chat records, unpinned them, and unstarred them as friends.

It's all over, it's a new life.

Everyone asked Chen Ning to take more roles, but Chen Ning wanted to take a break.

You Zicheng called again and asked him about his next plan. Chen Ning hesitated for a long time, but told You Zicheng that he wanted to take a break and start filming after "The Heart Is Not Ancient" was released.

He couldn't tell what it was like, but it seemed that the inner impulse was gradually worn away from the beginning of the return flight from Berlin to the time when the new home moved.

The notebooks that were sent up were all about the heroine, the stars were holding the moon, making Chen Ning show his brilliance, but he flipped through them one by one, but he couldn't find the passion of studying day and night in his heart.Chen Ning thought, probably he is such an unmotivated person in his bones. When he was with Gu Zichuan, he was full of enthusiasm for acting. He only hoped that one day he could stand shoulder to shoulder with Gu Zichuan. Indifferently, live a peaceful life and be an ordinary person.

He didn't take on the show, but he couldn't completely disappear from the audience's eyes. Almost half-forced, Chen's mother helped him connect and asked Chen Ning to shoot a few magazines.

Probably because of being tempered by the lens for many years, Chen Ning has a rare temperament that can be called "quiet".He doesn't smile often, and his poses are casual, but in the words of the photographer, at the moment when the camera freezes, Chen Ning seems to be able to see the vicissitudes of life in Chen Ning's eyes.

There were only a few blockbuster films, but they caused quite a stir on the Internet. In May, he signed a collaboration with Margiela. In June, Saint Laurent asked him to endorse the new men's fragrance. At the same time, Cartier invited him to shoot a brand promo.

Inexplicably, Chen Ning stepped half a foot into the fashion circle, and the brand also began to send gifts to his home.Send scarves and suitcases embroidered with his name, as well as new products of the season and party invitations.He doesn't film, he just does yoga and reads Shakespeare when he is idle at home, and occasionally goes to such luxurious occasions to watch other people exchange cups and make friends, and he is not out of touch with society anyway.

But these work cycles are short, and at most two or three days are enough to finish. He stays at home, gets up at six o'clock every day, rushes to the vegetable market in Chaoyang, bargains with the old ladies, and buys the freshest seasonal vegetables.Without telling anyone, Chen Ning secretly opened an account on Xiaohongshu, posting a dish every day and sharing all-vegetarian dishes.

Today is taro red bean crystal bag, tomorrow is fried eggplant box, the day after tomorrow is sweet and sour lotus root balls, Chen Ning does not show his face, does not shoot videos, simple words and steps, but also harvested in the accumulation day after day Thousands of followers.

Maybe life will go on like this. Mother Chen and Chen Ning have mentioned a few times, should I introduce him to some reliable boys to look around? It doesn't matter how old or young you are, just watch a movie and eat together, even if you meet a new friend .But Chen Ning didn't even think about it, and simply refused.

He felt that he no longer had the energy, nor the desire, to fall in love with someone new.Many times, when he woke up in the middle of the night, he was in a trance for a long time before realizing that Gu Zichuan was not lying beside him.More times, he dreamed that Gu Zichuan was standing by the Spree River with him, and when he opened his eyes, the bitterness in his heart lingered for a long time.

There are also unspeakable things.Sex has been going on since he was an adult, and he has been celibate for almost four months, and Chen Ning gradually has a need to resolve it.He checked the information for a long time and bought a prostate massage stick worth more than 2000 yuan.The massage stick is not as thick and big as Gu Zichuan's, but it has a strong sense of shock and a ball-rolling design. The first time Chen Ning used it, his feet felt weak when he ejaculated in the bathroom.

He can finally control the rhythm and times by himself, but he still misses the sex with Gu Zichuan, the domineering, irresistible kiss, and the strong and ferocious insertion that completely possessed him... Sometimes, he will indulge these fantasies, Sitting in the bathtub, he slowly pushed the rubber rod into his body, and then imitated Gu Zichuan, pinched his nipples, and adjusted the vibration to the maximum.

There may be no more caressing and hugging, but the climax is always the climax, Chen Ning thought, this is good enough.

On June 24, accompanied by his family, Chen Ning celebrated his 29th birthday.He received many gifts from brands, and his parents even gave him a new car.The Vesuvius red Range Rover, Chen's mother said, her baby must drive a majestic car.

Chen Ning hadn't been on the road for a long time, but he still accepted it gratefully, promising to go out more and meet more friends.

That day, he cooked a table of dishes for his parents in his new apartment.He ate the longevity noodles rolled by himself, and even ate a small piece of cake for the first time.In the evening, he thought for a long time and posted a circle of friends. The photo was taken by Ruan Xiaocheng. He sat between his parents and smiled brightly.Under the comments, blessings were overwhelming. He replied one by one, but his heart still felt empty. The hour hand passed twelve, and there were only 30 days before he turned 364. Chen Ning tossed and turned, suffered from insomnia for a long time, but finally fell asleep.

On the second day when he was 29 years old, Chen Ning was in a good mood. He went to the vegetable market to buy the last batch of bamboo shoots, and prepared to steam sauerkraut and bamboo shoot buns.

Ruan Xiaocheng is now promoted to Broker Ruan, but he is still bluffing, "Brother Ning, you are on the hot search again!"

Chen Ning had just washed his hands and was about to lie down on the sofa for a while, but now he felt a chill down his spine, "What happened again?"

"Hey, it's nothing serious." Ruan Xiaocheng drove up and down, scaring Chen Ning with lingering fears: "It's just that you were photographed bargaining with the old lady when you bought vegetables. Everyone is saying that you are down-to-earth and the public opinion is quite good. Auntie is afraid of this. This piece of news is biased towards your high-end personality, let me contact the public relations, and write a soft article that you can be both a spring and a white snow, and you can also be a down-to-earth person, and it will lead you to the direction. I am afraid that you will be shocked when you see it, so I called to tell you. "

"You don't need to tell me about this kind of thing in the future!" Chen Ning was angry when he heard it: "Have you made arrangements? I don't check Weibo, and I don't know when the matter is over, why bother to make a special call?" Are you blocking me on the phone?"

Ruan Xiaocheng was giggling on the other end of the phone: "Don't you still need your cooperation to post on Weibo? I made such a big table of dishes yesterday, and let them show it off. Let the netizens see our Ning Ge's craftsmanship!"

Chen Ning frowned and refused: "It's too boring."

He hasn't posted on Weibo for four months.

Ruan Xiaocheng softened and begged him: "Brother Ning, just send me a message as a help? Or tell me the password, and I'll send it for you? You don't need to read it, just treat it as cooperating with our work, okay?"

Since the last incident, Chen Ning has taken back Ruan Xiaocheng's right to use his Weibo, but he has no interest in browsing Weibo, and after changing the password, he left the app alone.After thinking for a moment, he agreed to Ruan Xiaocheng and sent him the new password.

He sent Ruan Xiaocheng a few photos of his cooking yesterday. In order to take care of his parents, he also made some meat dishes. Although vegetarianism is not ashamed, Chen Ning subconsciously did not want the public to know his dietary choices.

Before Ruan Xiaocheng posted on Weibo, he sent a screenshot of Chen Ning's edited content.All four pictures have been color-graded, and with the candlelit cake, it looks quite delicious and warm.Ruan Xiaocheng's accompanying text is very simple: 29, thank you [Bi Xin] PS, everyone, stop promoting my bargaining photos everywhere, next time the vegetable seller recognizes me, I will be embarrassed to bargain!

Chen Ning didn't like this cute style very much, but he didn't say much.He didn't read the Weibo after it was posted, but when he went shopping for vegetables the next day, he was still sweating.He saw the fresh tender lotus root and bought a few more knots. The aunt said it was 16 yuan and [-] yuan. He weighed it, and he could cut it down to [-] yuan. But after thinking about the hot searches yesterday, he finally nodded, scanned the QR code and left.

Not long after this happened, Ruan Xiaocheng called again. This time it was not a new script, but a variety show.Ruan Xiaocheng said that the popularity of this variety show is very high. Three or five stars are invited to live in a farmhouse, where some cook and some work in agriculture, creating a blueprint for a harmonious and happy life for the audience.The show wants to invite Chen Ning to be a resident guest, mainly responsible for cooking daily, and only asks to be able to meet the ordering needs of the guests who visit each episode, and the salary is quite high.

Listening to what Ruan Xiaocheng meant, I really hope that Chen Ning can agree.There is no interpersonal pressure in this type of variety show. Chen Ning himself has a chef in his hands, which can easily open up the audience's favorability.He doesn't need to show anything, as long as the meals he cooks every day are delicious, it can basically be said that it is a steady profit business.

Variety shows are recorded and broadcast, Chen Ning can just accumulate a wave of popularity, and while there are no new works now, he can improve his popularity with netizens.

But Chen Ning refused without thinking.

There were many reasons for refusal, but Chen Ning was too lazy to talk nonsense with Ruan Xiaocheng.He felt that the big fat man was a little ignorant recently, so he pretended to be cold and said: "I'm an art film, you want me to participate in variety shows? Am I crazy or are you crazy? I lack that salary?"

It was the first time Ruan Xiaocheng was scolded by Chen Ning, and now he could only accept it submissively.

But he complained in his heart: Brother, I don’t even want to act in your art movies, I think you are going to quit the circle!

Chen Ning didn't want to quit the circle, but he was indeed watching the postgraduate application notes for Jingying and Yangxi.With his qualifications, it is very convenient for him to stay in school after graduation. Without "That Me", this would have been the life path Chen Ning had planned for himself. Although it was several years late, it is not too late to get back on track .

Chen Ning pretended this matter in his heart, and got in touch with his tutor back then. He has graduated for many years, and he can no longer get the quota of exempt students from this school.He looked at the subjects to be tested, and only ideological politics and English needed preparation. When he was preparing to review, an unexpected phone call came in.

The caller was Chen Ning's long-lost friend, Shen Shu.Shen Shu is a writer. His work "Legend of Exorcising Demons Over the Ocean" is the hottest original IP in recent years. The five novels have sold millions of copies, and the third part of the adapted film has accumulated nearly [-] copies. Billion box office.Back then, Chen Ning followed Gu Zichuan to take "That Me" to Cannes to participate in the exhibition. In his spare time, Chen Ning went to watch the participating films, and happened to meet Shen Shu who went to watch the movie together.Shen Shu's boyfriend is the vice president of Zhongyi Pictures, and a film made by Zhongyi was shortlisted for the main competition in Cannes. Shen Shu took this opportunity to go to Cannes with her boyfriend for vacation.

It was Shen Shu who recognized Chen Ning first, and after chatting with him, he discovered that Chen Ning was actually his loyal reader.The two chatted happily, and soon exchanged contact information.Shen Shu is a self-acquaintance. After "That Me" won the award, Chen Ning also received a gift from Shen Shu.

Chen Ning, who finished playing "That Me", is still a college student who has not graduated from university for two years, but Shen Shu is already a great writer with a successful career.During that time, like a big brother, he often asked Chen Ning out to eat and chat, but it only lasted for more than a year. After the filming of "Wild", Shen Shu turned to study the script of the movie. So far, the two have been busy on their own, contacting each other. gradually less.

After receiving Shen Shu's call, Chen Ning was very pleasantly surprised, and said, "I finally remembered to call me!"

"Baby, I miss you so much!" Shen Shu is five years older than Chen Ning. When he got acquainted with Chen Ning, he loved Chen Ning's baby long and baby short. He especially liked to pinch Chen Ning's face and eat his tofu. Well, "Wild" was released and I didn't even have time to congratulate you, you did a great job!"

"Thank you brother." After not talking to Shen Shu for a long time, Chen Ning relaxed: "Is there anything you can do with me? I miss you too. I moved recently, if you are free, would you like to come to my house to play? I'll cook for you."

Shen Shu's boyfriend is the boss of the entertainment company. He should have heard about the breakup between Gu Zichuan and Chen Ning. He didn't express any surprise when he mentioned the move, but asked, "Where did you move?"

Chen Ning replied: "Tangya Garden on the East Third Ring Road, brother, do you know the location?"

Shen Shu finally exclaimed: "How could I not know the place, I used to live there! Yan Yu has a house there!"

Chen Ning heard Shen Shu say on the other end of the microphone, "Husband, did you know that Chen Ning has moved to Tangya Garden!"

A deep male voice sounded over there, Chen Ning couldn't hear clearly, but after a while, Shen Shu said to him: "Hahahahaha, baby, have you bought a car yet?"

Chen Ning: "I just bought it recently."

Shen Shu excitedly said by the microphone: "Great, have you bought a parking space yet? Our parking space is unused, or I will give it to you. It just so happens that "Wild" is on sale and I didn't say anything." , the parking space is at B3, is it far from your home? I'll give you the parking space number another day."

Before Chen Ning could react, he harvested a parking space worth nearly one million yuan, and before he had time to express his thanks, Shen Shu blocked his mouth again with the next sentence.

"Baby, you have to do me a favor by accepting my parking space." Shen Shu is 33, but the voice in the microphone is still like a young man who is not stingy: ""Overseas [-]" was filmed, but Lumen The role of know-it-all hasn’t been found yet, are you busy recently, if you are not busy, come here and save my brother.”

Although Chen Ning doesn't plan to take on a role recently, it's one thing to be a leading actor in a movie, but another thing to be a supporting role.It was rare for Shen Shu to talk to him, and what he wanted to play was "Overseas", which he had read several times. He agreed without thinking, "Brother, you came to me just for this matter. Of course I am free, and I will act in friendship , how long will it take to shoot?"

Chen Ning took the initiative to express his friendship and appeared in the role. This means that he didn't even want the salary, and Shen Shu was not polite to him, and hurriedly said: "If you are free, can you join the group next week. We are in Chibi, Hubei, Zhongyijian Shooting in the film and television park will take about three weeks of your time, are you okay?"

Chen Ning thought for a while, and three weeks was nothing to him, so he immediately agreed. He just wanted Shen Shu to send him the script, but Shen Shu said, "It's just that the script is a bit troublesome. , but the director and I have too many different ideas. Basically, we quarrel every day, squeeze a page of jokes a day, and I will go crazy. You read the book, get the script when you get up in the morning, and finish it by memorizing it in the dressing room Haha. Anyway, we are a commercial film, you can get it at your fingertips, there is not much demand for acting skills."

It's a commercial film, why do you still cut out one page a day? Chen Ning was suspicious, but he didn't ask any more questions, and said a few more words. hang up.

What kind of director is it that even Shen Shu can't control his temper?Chen Ning thought about it, and found it a little funny. He hadn't been this happy for a long time, and his heart was filled with the joy of reuniting with his old friend after a long absence. After he was beautiful for a while, he immediately sent a message to Ruan Xiaocheng, asking him to book a plane ticket to Wuhan. By the way, I told you not to follow, after all, he was only going for three weeks and stayed with Shen Shu, so there was no need for Ruan Xiaocheng to follow him around.

Summer is coming soon, Wuhan is a well-known stove in the whole country, and it is really exhausting to shoot costume dramas on this day.Chen Ning grew back some flesh, but still looked like a slender college student.He was wearing an ordinary T-shirt and jeans, with only a ring on his little finger. His skin was so white that it glowed. Even if he couldn't recognize him as an actor, many passers-by at the airport would stop and stare at him.

Lumen Knowles is a character who only appears in "Overseas [-]", a born blind Bai Xiaosheng.Meng Xiaohui (the protagonist of "The Legend of Exorcising Demons") and others fell into a stalemate in the treasure hunt, so they formed a team to visit the well-known Lumen Knower.But who would have thought that Lumen Knowles had already been killed by the big villain, and what they inquired about was actually all wrong information about hidden traps.When Chen Ning was studying, he was overwhelmed by the suspense brought by the role of Lumen Knowledgable. Now it is his turn to play this well-known "villain", and he is also indescribably excited.For this role, Chen Ning specially packed the entire set of "Overseas" signed by Shen Shu in his suitcase, and reviewed it before going to bed when he was preparing to film.He even re-read the first book on the plane, and read it for two hours without letting go of the book, and he was reluctant to close the book even when he landed.

Although there is no salary, Zhongyi's reception is very good.As soon as Chen Ning got off the plane, someone would pick him up and drive him all the way to Zhongyi Film and Television City in Chibi.

Shen Shu was waiting at the entrance of the film and television city early on, and Chen Ning gave him a big hug as soon as he got out of the car.He also has the kind of appearance that doesn't show his age, with well-maintained skin, delicate and playful features, and fancy and fashionable clothes. "Chen Ning baby!" Shen Shu held Chen Ning around and said, "Why are you so thin!"

Shen Shu was very fond of Chen Ning. To put it bluntly, he was a bit face-controlling. If it wasn't for Yan Yu standing aside, he might not be able to resist kissing Chen Ning on the face.Chen Ning was pinched by Shen Shu, and greeted Yan Yu with a smile: "The camera is a mirror, how can you not be thin?"

"Look at what you said, after a while Teacher Fuhua will be overjoyed when he sees it." Shen Shu asked the driver to deliver Chen Ning's suitcase to the hotel, and took him to the special small battery car in the film and television city, "Take you to the set first Look, say hello to the director. Let's not film today, so let's have some wine and barbecue at night, okay? I'll ask the master to put less oil."

After several years of no contact, Shen Shu still had Chen Ning's eating habits in mind, Chen Ning nodded, and the hot and humid breeze was blowing on his body, feeling a kind of long-lost relaxation.

Shen Shu directed Yan Yu to drive the small battery to the set. He dragged Chen Ning and kept complaining about the director's difficulty, "Let me tell you, Ning Bao, I was really obsessed with ghosts for a while. We were looking for the first few movies. A relatively new director, that’s a good talker, you can change here and there, basically you can listen to me. But this time it’s good, find someone with a score bigger than mine, I told him that you don’t respect the original work if you change it like this, this kid Immediately say that it is disrespectful for me to ask him to make such a movie! Fuck me, you will know when you see someone, you are not old, and the score is not young, I think he is unwilling to call me a teacher, really not Seeing that he is talented, I am too lazy to serve him!"

"Who the hell is it, bro?" Chen Ning sounded funny, Shen Shu's words were cursing, but in fact, he was not necessarily angry, it was more like saying it to amuse him: "You put me all the way away You've been tricked, now you can always tell me who the director is."

"Look at what you said!" Shen Shu lightly squeezed Chen Ning's face: "You are the one who lied! After a while, you will know that people are coming, let's see how you escape from my palm! "

Chen Ning ate and had fun, and slapped Shen Shu on the shoulder, but Shen Shu took advantage of the situation and hugged him and rubbed him twice.

Xia Feng was very hot, but Chen Ning flinched in Shen Shu's arms.Is he too sensitive? Chen Ning suddenly felt flustered for no reason, and seemed to hear a very, very light sigh.

After driving for ten minutes, I finally arrived at the studio.Yan Yu seemed to have something else to do, he sent them to the door, then turned his head to drive elsewhere, Chen Ning jumped out of the car first, turned around, and saw Shen Shu naturally moved his head to the front seat, and gently touched his lips with Yan Yu, then he Smiling happily, he touched Yan Yu's ear and squeezed Yan Yu's hand.

Shen Shu was wearing a ring, which formed a pair with Yan Yu's, their fingers touched lightly, and the ring was dazzlingly bright in the sunlight.

"Brother," Chen Ning said with a smile, "You and Mr. Yan have such a good relationship."

"Old man, old man." Shen Shu patted him on the shoulder, and naturally changed the subject: "Believe it or not, if we watch it now, the director must be cursing."

Chen Ning was overjoyed. He had never seen such a difficult director before. It was Gu Zichuan, who made a few sarcasm and mocked him. His words were poisonous, but not to the point of cursing.He was full of curiosity in his heart, followed Shen Shu around, and finally saw a green screen, a boom-type microphone was erected high, three No. 40 staff members formed a small circle, and a few people could be heard The voice came from the crowd.

Shen Shu dragged Chen Ning in, only to hear that the voice was mingled with crying, Shen Shu was a little anxious, and pulled Chen Ning through the crowd, and saw a young actor standing beside the track of the camera, wearing rumpled clothes Baba's costume, with red eye circles, is choking.

Not far from the monitor, a man wearing a hat stood impatiently. He was thin and about 1.9 meters tall. The script was rolled up in his hand, and the veins on the back of his hand were exposed.

"It's the same sentence again and again, how many times have you said it, do you know how to act, or do you not understand human speech?"

Before the words fell, another teardrop rolled down the little actor's face.

Chen Ning felt that his heart was about to stop. This voice, this man...

"Are you still crying? How old are you still crying? Meng Xiaohui also cried when he couldn't find the treasure, then let's all go and cry, don't look for the treasure, don't shoot the scene, we just sit here and cry! "

"The Legend of Gu Zi!" Chen Ning didn't know what was wrong with him, but he rushed out before he returned to his senses, "Do you ever scold an actor like that? He's still a child!"
