Chapter 129
When the two woke up again, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon, and Shen Lian, who hadn't eaten lunch, woke up hungry.
After getting dressed, I walked to the window and opened the curtains, at this moment the window was already dark, and as usual, the sunset was still hanging in the sky. But this afternoon the weather was a bit overcast.
"Would you like to go get something to eat? You're going back to the crew at night. Shen Lian said.
"Well, Shu Sing asked me to go to Dai Mei to eat hot pot. It should be Brother Xiao Ming's treat. Yang Ying got up and took her phone and saw several unread messages.
"Well, go ahead. I'll drive home later. Shen Lian's face darkened, but he still let go.
"Otherwise, let's go together." Yang Ying suddenly jumped over and grabbed Shen Lian's arm and said coquettishly.
"No, it's hard to explain the relationship between the two of us. And I don't know them well. Shen Lian habitually excused.
"Once raw and twice ripe. And sooner or later, everyone will have the opportunity to cooperate. Yang Ying shook Shen Lian's arm vigorously.
"Stop, stop, I'll go." Shen Lian agreed. "I'm short of protein right now. So you don't want to spend more of my body on it. Let me take a shower, okay. β
"Okay. It's been a long time since I've eaten with you. Yang Ying said happily. The two of them modified a little, put on their caps, walked out of the hotel together, turned left and right under Yang Ying's guidance, and came to the Dai Mei hot pot restaurant.
"Baby, this way." The sharp-eyed Ying Cai'er saw a familiar petite figure at a glance, and strangely enough, Yang Ying was followed by a slender man.
"Come on, over here." After seeing Ying Cai'er, Yang Ying subconsciously grabbed Shen Lian's hand and walked over there, but was broken free by Shen Lian. was protesting with aggrieved eyes, but remembered something, turned his head and ran over there. Shen Lian didn't stop long, and followed Yang Ying over.
Huang Xiaoming and the others showed surprised expressions when they saw that it was Shen Lian who was following Yang Ying. Shen Lian walked in front of everyone and said generously: "Hello everyone." I'm Shen Lian. BABY'S FRIEND. β
"You know all of them, right?" Yang Ying asked, pointing to the eight people who were eating.
"Eh, Brother Xiao Ming, Shu Sing, Liu Yun, Hu Ke, Sister Cai'er, Zhong Hanliang, He Zhuoyan, Liu Zi." Shen Lian said reluctantly.
"Seeing that you are so reluctant, you must have checked the information before you came. Right, Gilbert. Ying Caier, who had worked with her before, saw the truth.
"Haha." Everyone laughed.
"Alright, alright, stop making trouble. Shen Lian came to visit the baby's class, so let's not talk nonsense. Let's eat together. Huang Xiaoming invited.
"Then it's disrespectful." Shen Lian's original plan was to come to eat. glanced at Huang Xiaoming with a smile. only to find that the other party was also looking at himself.
Everyone sat down separately, Huang Xiaoming and Ying Cai'er were very quick with their hands and feet, and before Shen Lian could react, they had already finished ordering, and the next thing was to sit and wait to fill their stomachs.
"How could Shen Lian have time to visit the baby's class. Isn't the film industry in full swing? Ying Cai'er, who was most familiar with Shen Lian, laughed at the scene.
"The work schedule ahead is too tight, and now I need time to rest." Shen Lian replied with a smile. Everyone showed indignant expressions. Everyone took the opportunity to take the show, but he was good, and when he was popular, he actually said that he wanted to rest, which was too unpleasant.
"Does that mean there won't be any movies for a while?" Huang Xiaoming asked. If Shen Lian decides to take a break for a year and a half, some of the resources of big directors may be distributed to him. So far, although he has made good achievements in TV dramas, he has starred in high-rated TV dramas one after another. But Huang Xiaoming's road in the film market is not going well. has starred in five movies, aside from "Night Banquet" as a supporting actor, the other four together may not be as good as Shen Lian's debut film "If Love". Moreover, Shen Lian's recent participation in "Casting Names" is also a large-scale production, a lineup and investment that is almost impossible to fail in terms of Cheng dΓΉ. And Chen Kun, another person who also said that the three students, has received a lot of praise for "The Ballad of Yunshui", and it is definitely impossible to say that Huang Xiaoming is not in a hurry.
"If nothing else, there will be no work scheduled until September." Shen Lian replied calmly. Take a year and a half off? Apparently impossible. Shen Lian still understands the truth that flowers are not red for a hundred days.
A few people chatted casually at the dinner table. In addition to the discussion of work, Huang Xiaoming also intended to test the relationship between Shen Lian and Yang Ying, and several inquiries were quietly resolved by Shen Lian. Soon the waiter brought the ingredients.
"I'm sorry, Shen Lian, we're going to film tomorrow, so we won't take the wine, if you really can't help it, go to the counter and get it." Huang Xiaoming poured juice for everyone and greeted Shen Lian.
"No, Brother Xiao Ming is too polite. I drove home to see the baby on the way. Left tomorrow morning. I can't drink it either. Shen Lian said with a smile.
"Shen Lian is from Zhejiang?" Huang Xiaoming asked.
"No, Nanjing." Shen Lian confessed honestly.
"That's not a good way." Zhong Hanliang on the side said suddenly.
"Well, by the way, buy some souvenirs and go home." Zhong Hanliang was so uninteresting, Shen Lian didn't expect it. Said embarrassedly.
As the ingredients gradually cooked, everyone began to eat meat and drink juice in large bowls. The 9 actors in the cohabitation group are all acquaintances, and many of them have even acted in bed scenes with Huang Xiaoming, plus they are in a private room, and there are no outsiders around, so they don't care about the image of a lady.
However, Shen Lian sat quietly in style, eating meat bite by bite. Fortunately, Yang Ying rushed to put his favorite beef balls and fat cows into his bowl. Huang Xiaoming, who has been paying attention to the two, also noticed an unusual relationship between the two. After Yang Ying scooped up the ingredients with a colander, she would always put fish balls, shrimp dumplings and the like into her bowl. A woman is able to write down all the ingredients that a man likes and hates, and knows his eating habits inside and out. This is definitely not normal for a girl who has just come of age and has a detached personality.
Outsiders may not know that Huang Xiaoming understands the hardships of popular artists in love better than anyone else. Fans always hope that idols will always belong to them, and once the relationship is made public, they will immediately face a decline in popularity and dissatisfaction with the company, so if Shen Lian and Yang Ying are a couple, the two secretly have an underground love for Huang Xiaoming. And in the pursuit of Yang Ying, he also found his advantages. At the age of thirty, he can relatively afford the loss of declining popularity than Shen Lian, who is much younger. Or that his fans must be more accepting of the impact of an open relationship than Shen Lian's fans. After all, if he is in a public relationship at his age, he may lose a small number of little girl fans, but at the same time, Du restricts the possibility of scandals with other female stars, and it is easier to ensure his healthy image. At this time, Huang Xiaoming had already determined that he was indeed interested in Yang Ying. And Shen Lian, an opponent, will not only be a fierce rival of himself in his career, but also emotionally, he will also have a fight with himself.
Yang Ying, who had been busy picking vegetables for Shen Lian, was suddenly a little annoyed, the man next to him didn't know why, maybe he was afraid that others would see the clues, maybe he was really hungry. From the moment the food is served, it is hard to eat. In a fit of anger, he sandwiched a piece of shrimp dumpling and stuffed it into his bowl, and then threw down the chopsticks. Shen Lian's complexion did not change, he just glanced at Yang Ying warningly, and then swallowed the shrimp dumpling.
After receiving the warning, instead of reining in, Yang Ying secretly smiled and gave another piece of fish ball to Shen Lian.
"Ahem." Shen Lian secretly exerted force under his feet and stepped on Yang Ying hard.
"Ahh Yang Ying, whose toes were suddenly compressed, couldn't help but scream.
"Well, it doesn't matter to you." Shu Sing, who lowered his head and tried hard to eat meat, asked.
"It's okay, I burned my lips. Shu sing, help me blow it. Yang Ying ran to Shu Sing and opened her mouth.
"Uh, a strange smell." Shu Sing complained, but he couldn't resist Yang Ying, and gently helped her blow up.
"The relationship between your crew is really good." Shen Lian said enviously.
"That's right, there are mainly people who are big and often entertain. Regulate everyone's feelings. Liu Zi said on the side.
"Really? I've heard that director Zhang Jizhong is quite frugal in some aspects. Shen Lian said.
"Don't say it, in addition to the low salary of the director, the other conditions are still good. However, it is not him who is a big household, it is Brother Xiao Ming. I think he at least a quarter of his salary is spent buying fruit snacks for everyone and the like. Ying Caier explained.
"Nothing." Huang Xiaoming said embarrassedly: "It's good if everyone is happy." β
"Another day, I must find an opportunity to cooperate with Brother Xiao Ming. After all, I haven't enjoyed this benefit yet. Shen Lian said politely.
"I'm also looking forward to cooperating with Shen Lian." Huang Xiaoming smiled and glanced at Shen Lian. The meal ended in an inexplicable atmosphere.
After finishing the meal, walking out of the restaurant, Shen Lian said goodbye to everyone. "If you have the chance, I'll invite you." Shen Lian said.
"There's going to be a chance." Huang Xiaoming responded with a smile.
"Then I'll go first. Goodbye guys. Shen Lian waved his hand to everyone and prepared to leave.
"Wait, Gilbert." Yang Ying stopped him, turned around and said hello to Huang Xiaoming: "Brother Xiao Ming, Shen Lian and I still have a few words to say." Why don't you leave first? β
"Okay, then will you want me to pick you up?" The restaurant in the crew is far away from the restaurant, no matter what the purpose, Huang Xiaoming still asked.
"No, I'll just go back by myself." Yang Ying said.
"Alright, let's go first." Huang Xiaoming spoke, and the other seven people didn't say much, so they took a taxi and left.
