Chapter 1: Old Man or New Love?

In late autumn and November, the night is getting darker.

It had just rained, and the ground was wet and cold.

After filming the last scene in the movie "Old Man", and after the routine group photo after the finale, Wen Jiang sat in the simple dressing room built by the crew to rest.

The temperature on the set was extremely low, and the smoky gray dress she was wearing was thin and could not keep out the cold, and the cool air invaded her skin wantonly, and her body felt cold.

However, cold is not all good, at least it can keep people awake in the midst of sleepiness and exhaustion.

***

The content of the iPad app tonight is almost the same.

is a set of picture news that shocked the Internet as soon as it was released: "Fake drama is really done - Lin Xisheng and his new film partner Gu Xiang kissed passionately on the streets of Tokyo." ”

The title is concise and to the point.

Places, people, events, you name it.

Wen Jiang clicked on one of the pushes, and a kissing photo with a low resolution immediately appeared in her field of vision.

The man in the photo has one hand on the woman's waist, his chin tilted at a 45-degree angle, and he is kissing his head down.

His other hand was not seen because he was sideways and blocked by his body.

But even if he couldn't see it, Wen Jiang knew what his hand was doing.

It must be to hold the woman's hand and rub the back of the woman's hand in his arms with his fingertips.

With some lingering, revealing some reluctance, a look full of affection.

About a year and a half ago, the man in the photo, kissed her in the same posture and movement, and proposed.

Heh――

Wen Jiang scrolled down the page and looked at the comments of netizens under this news.

"Am I blind, isn't Lin Xisheng still in love with Wen Jiang Xiu at the awards ceremony in the summer?"

"Who will pick it up, is this Lin cheating or leaving Wen Jiang early?"

"Gu Xiang, I already felt like a, meddling in the husband and wife as a junior, owe it!"

……

There are all kinds of voices talking.

One of them said: "Wen Jiang is so pitiful. ”

Wretched?

Wen Jiang's eyes shook suddenly, and he threw the ipad to the desktop on the side, and then there was a muffled "bang" in his ears.

***

Being in the crew is not in his own private house, and his behavior should take into account the image of three points, Wen Jiang quickly calmed down.

Sooner or later, the news would have been exposed, but unfortunately she couldn't complete a formality before the news broke to end this broken marriage.

Clearing the distractions derived from seeing this news from his mind, Wen Jiang carefully stared at himself in the dressing mirror in front of him.

The miserable white light hit her face with crying makeup, reflecting three points of misery and three points of whiteness.

Qiu Bo's eyebrows are like two light strokes of ink hooked on her deep pupils, and at this moment, the tail of her eyes has been stained by the comber for a long time, creating a sense of desolation.

This makeup should be very in line with the state she should have at the moment.

She tore off the beaded flower pendant on her head with a slightly rough movement, took out a wet towel to print her lips, and wiped the fresh red on her lips.

She's miserable? She cried?

.

In the movie "Old Man", she played the role of Chen Ajiao, the abolished queen, with "Changmen Fu" and this honorable face, but there is a bit of a miserable and miserable feeling of seeing the newcomer laughing and not seeing the old man crying.

In the last shot of Director Shicai, she is dressed in a dull dress, her thin back is slightly collapsed, her back is bleak, and her skirt is slightly raised. The footsteps were vague and stepped on the hundreds of steps behind her, and the majestic palace was in front of her, but in front of her was all desolate and barren.

Every step seems to be the last.

The body is so thin that when the wind blows, it seems that people can be blown away.

***

It's been a rough rough run lately.

Whether it's a career, or a private life.

Even the "Old Man", which has just been completed, has been filmed with twists and turns.

Among the works that Wen Jiang has indirectly filmed from a singer and crossover actor for six years, "Old Man" is the most time-consuming drama.

The actress who was originally scheduled to play the supporting role was temporarily flown off before the start of filming and was replaced by a newcomer recommended by the management. Halfway through the filming, Mu Chenzhong, who played the actor Liu Che, broke his leg and went to the hospital, and the whole group had to be suspended.

What's even more tricky is that as soon as the news of her taking on the play "Old Man" broke, there were endless voices of opposition in the fan circle.

Fans said that they wanted to play Wei Zifu, and they all disliked the role of Gillian.

Two women who are also ambitious in the emotional world are very different from each other in the public's perception.

Some fans said that this story has been filmed and there is nothing new.

And the market of orthodox costume films has been cold several times in recent years, and they are not optimistic that this film will explode.

The messages under her Weibo are almost all fans expressing their disappointment with her taking on this play, thinking that she has ruined her reputation and future.

Even the agent Nan Ke was a little dissatisfied with her insistence on leaving "Old Man" in several books.

The voices of the outside world were heard by Jiang Jiang.

But she withstood the pressure, took it, and didn't plan to give up the role again.

In all fairness, Wen Jiang really didn't think Gillian was so bad compared to Wei Zifu.

Gillian is the protagonist in "The Old Man", and all the story lines revolve around her.

If she is a supporting role and Wei Zifu is the protagonist, this movie should be renamed "New Love".

It's hard to say...... Wei Zifu will one day become Liu Che's old man.

Grace doesn't even have a shelf life at all, it's like a joke.

***

Wen Jiang just took off her contact lenses, and the assistant Gan Tian pushed the door into the independent dressing room assigned to her by the crew.

With his glasses removed, Wen Jiang looked a little like he was being separated by a layer of mist, and the sweet face in front of him was covered by a mist.

Gan Tian has been with her for four or five years, and she doesn't need to carefully observe her words and feelings, just listening to Gan Tian's rapid gasps, Wen Jiang knows that what Tian Tian wants to say is very urgent.

Sure enough, Gan Tian handed over the mobile phone that only a few of her close friends knew the number: "Sister Wen, Sister Nanke's phone." ”

Wen Jiang pulled a thin blanket and put it on his body, got up and picked it up: "Something?" ”

The agent Nan Ke was a little angry, and he choked when he spoke: "What is Lin Xisheng, do you know that you have been cuckolded." ”

Wen Jiang was very calm: "Sister Ke, the green hat has a lot of fingers on the man's head." ”

Nan Ke took a hard breath: "Don't be poor, I'll be serious with you." The photo of Lin Xisheng hugging Gu Xiang and kissing on the streets of Tokyo was photographed and uploaded by netizens, and it was on the top of the Weibo hot search list in less than half an hour. The paparazzi have a sensitive sense of smell to death, and you and Gantian can't get out of the set now. I asked Gantian to turn off the other phone, and we used this number to communicate. The finale banquet that Director Qin hosted for you tonight is also yellow, I'll tell him. You hide in the dressing room, and I'll arrange for someone to pick you up. ”

Wen Jiang replied: "Okay, I'll wait." ”

She was calm and self-controlled, Nan Ke couldn't respond to her anger, and she was even more eager to pour out: "In vain, I thought Lin Xisheng was reliable, and the marketing account of the mid-year award ceremony was still brushing you are a model couple in the circle,, now netizens think that we are acting with him, and we are pretending to be good." ”

Wen Jiang took the phone away from his left ear, and the decibel of Nanke's voice in his ear immediately dropped.

Wen Jiang reminded her: "Netizens have been mentally prepared. ”

Nanke was stunned.

Yes, yesterday she saw the "see you on Wednesday" trailer released by the "toxic scout" known as the Discipline Inspection Commission of the entertainment industry on Weibo. Many people are guessing whether the marriage changed according to the text of the poisonous scout, whether it was Wen Jiang and Lin Xisheng that the marriage changed.

They are rumored to be married once a month, Nan Ke didn't think much about it, didn't ask much, but he didn't expect TMD to be serious this time.

***

Yesterday morning, the Weibo posted by the poison scout said:

Poison Scout:

See you on Wednesday this week.

A model couple in the circle broke up.

The woman has just won one of the three gold medals.

The man only portrays positive characters.

Looking forward to it?

See you on Wednesday.

***

The incident happened suddenly, Nan Ke didn't care about asking Wen Jiang about the details of the cause and effect, and picked out some simple ones to deal with the media who had already crowded to inquire: "How long has it been since I found out?" ”

Wen Jiang slapped his shoulder: "It's not short, after I came back from Egypt, before the filming of "Old Man". ”

...... Nanke's lips stiffened.

The name "Old Man" is so powerful? The crow's beak worked the same......

Hearing that Jiang was so distracted from such an important matter as the marriage change, he didn't report it in advance, but Nan Ke had no intention of scolding her at the moment.

The next words were a little difficult to speak, but Nan Ke still had to ask: "Can you still live?" ”

Wen Jiang smiled and replied simply: "No." Rather than make do. ”

Nanke breathed a sigh of relief: "Good job." Don't be sad, die early and be born early. Lin Xisheng is garbage, Lao Tzu will trample him to death sooner or later. ”

Wen Jiang pulled his lower lip: "Why do I think you are scolding me for being blind in disguise?" ”

Nan Ke clenched the phone case at the other end: "I just regret that I didn't stop being a little more resolute when you decided to marry." In order for your dad to marry someone who touched you when he saw you marry before his death, this fucking marriage shouldn't be seen now, and he should die at that time. ”

Wen Jiang said: "It makes sense. I was confused and ignorant, but now I'm older. ”

This sounds like self-deprecation and ridicule.

Nanke's scalp was numb from the constant ringing phone in the office, and she was about to hang up the phone: "Still poor?!" Let's talk about meeting again, hang up, remember that even if the media takes advantage of the loophole to meet, don't express your position, don't speak up first. ”

Wen Jiang paused, said "um", and then said to Nanke: "I have something to say hello to you." ”

Nanke: "Say." ”

Wen Jiang didn't detour: "The photo in Tokyo is estimated to have been taken a long time ago, but it has only been sent out now." ”

"How do you know?" Nan Ke asked casually.

Wen Jiang sighed: "Another thing I want to say is this. Didn't you practice a few hands to play an agent in that action movie before? Someone else sent me here last night, and I was in the local area, not in Tokyo. He came back to pick up something. In order to solve the problem most directly and simply, I didn't move my mouth, and I ...... slightly. Moved. ”

Wen Jiang's words were very subtle, and Nan Ke took a breath: "What is the slight Cheng dù?" I may see the news that the actress heard Jiang beating people on the street, seeing blood on the scene and the scene was terrifying? ”

Wen Jiang smiled: "I'm so kind, can I do this?" It's not so strict, it's just rubbing him. Say hello in advance so that someone doesn't catch you off guard by sending a bill asking for medical bills to the company. ”

Nanke: ......

There is a possibility of medical expenses, and it is not strict?

Nan Ke thought about it for a while, and then realized that Jiang was making her laugh.

Wen Jiang has never been a person who drags mud and water, and she is proud, she will not do anything that makes her lose her grace and embarrassment at the same time.

***

Hanging up Nan Ke's phone, Wen Jiang took out a rimless glasses from the storage box on the side and hung them on his face.

The sweetness in sight became clear.

"Something you want to say?" Wen Jiang asked her.

Gan Tian waved his hand: "No, really not." ”

Wen Jiang didn't force it, pulled open the curtain in the dressing room and prepared to change clothes, and said at the same time: "If you want to say it, just say it, don't have an expression on your face that you can't wait to say something." ”

Gan Tian hesitated a little, and her tone was unsteady and she really had to ask: "Sister Wen, you and Brother Lin, are you really finished?" ”

Wen Jiang raised his arm and changed into his thin line shirt: "Haven't you heard that you must divide it for a long time?" You should have watched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" again. ”

Sweet: "......"

How can this be the same?!!!!! and let her not believe in love!!!

Wen Jiang seemed to know how to read minds, and smacked at her: "Doesn't this not believe it prove that you never believed in this thing?" Expect to watch others believe that love is the best thing to do for a long time, and go home to see your parents, your grandparents. There are cigarettes and lighters, bowls and chopsticks...... are all in love with each other, from ancient times to the present. ”

Sweet: "......"

***

After they left the set through the paparazzi's blockade that night, they didn't go to the company in the end.

Nanke was anxious, and the company was surrounded by entertainment reporters waiting to hear the news, and arranged for them to go home first to avoid the limelight.

Wen Jiang, the wedding room with Lin Xisheng, didn't want to go back, and returned to a set of high-rise flats she bought in the north of the city for the convenience of filming.

The community is well closed, the access control is strict, and it can also avoid harassment.

Gan Tian didn't enter the door, and left with the car downstairs.

Wen Jiang sat in the apartment room, and didn't look at the arguments on social platforms.

She is not afraid of abuse, what she doesn't want to see is the so-called "sympathy".

She was lying on a soft couch in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

Downstairs across the window, there is a slow-flowing river reflecting a crescent moon.

The night sky across the window is shining with silent stars.

Yiqiē is the same as yesterday, except that she was pushed to the cusp.

At the beginning of the year, her only remaining relative, her father, Wenchen, died of illness.

As soon as Wen Chen died, she was alone, and no one would ask her why and whether she was okay when the news of the marriage change broke out at this moment.

There are not many friends, and Xin Lingxi, who was met by crossover actors when they first entered the music scene, had already left her down from beginning to end when she personally revealed the news of the marriage change to her earlier.

At this moment, Xin Lingxi is in a place where the time difference is twelve hours, and he will not repeat the harsh reprimand.

After sitting indoors for thirty minutes, Wen Jiang stood in front of the dresser in the bedroom and began to apply makeup.

The indoor space is too small, and she needs to go out for a walk and let off steam.

The process of applying makeup is like "changing your face".

Like a tear mole stuck to the face, with black-rimmed glasses with thick borders...... After the makeup, there were even a few tiny freckles on her originally fair skin.

In just half an hour, she "changed" her face with ease.

***

Although it was a release, Wen Jiang did not walk around aimlessly.

With her new face, she walked to an intimate hair styling studio outside the community.

The clerk greeted the customer warmly, and she went in and sat down.

has long hair, and she hasn't made a big move since she debuted in the music scene at the age of 16.

Like a waterfall, like ink.

The series of hairstyles enthusiastically recommended by the clerk Wen Jiang didn't hear too clearly, and only stopped when the clerk chattered endlessly, and told him: "Straighten your head." ”

The clerk combed her long hair and looked at her in disbelief, suspecting that he had misheard: "What to cut?" ”

"Bald." Wen Jiang repeated, without hesitation.
