Chapter 3 The Gloomy Director

Chapter 3 The Gloomy Director

Xu Yunhan stared at him blankly for a long time without blinking.

Ren Heming leaned forward and was about to call him again when he saw Xu Yunhan finally put down the blocks he had been holding and slowly put his fair hand into his.

At this time, a little girl also ran into the room, "Are you the director's son? Come on, let's go down and play together."

Xu Rongjia kept saying along the way that his son often stayed in the small house under the tree on the second floor and asked them to take him out to play.

However, he did not expect that Ren Heming rushed to his son's room as soon as he got off the car. He was a little nervous and called him quickly, but the child had already ran in.

When he went up, he was surprised to see two children, one on the left and one on the right, holding his son and walking out.

The director was so pleasantly surprised that he sent someone to prepare snacks and toys for them.

This was the first time Xu Yunhan met Ren Heming.

When Ren Heming left, a corner of the thick window sill of the southeast corner room on the second floor was lifted.

The little boy leaned on the window sill and looked out. The mottled tree shadows fell on his pale and translucent face, and his dark eyes looked very far away.

Since then, Xu Yunhan has not seen Ren Heming again for more than ten years.

People who have only met once when they were five or six years old are easily forgotten in the memories of ups and downs. Ren Heming forgot, but Xu Yunhan never did.

The first time he received the plot, it was as if lost memories suddenly appeared, and Su Qingyu was a little uncomfortable, just like the images that squeezed through his mind when he was on the verge of death.

527 may have anticipated this situation and slowed down part of the transmission.

Su Qingyu: [Xu Yunhan was always afraid of people when he was a child, why is he different towards Ren Heming? 】

527: [Maybe it’s because Ren Heming is good-looking and lovable? 】

After all, he is a popular actor, and he looked really good when he was young.

Su Qingyu shook his head, "No matter how beautiful she is, can she be as beautiful as Xu Yunhan?" 】

527 looked at this face and couldn't refute.

527 added: [Host, as a person, why are you not romantic at all? Unexplainable fate is romantic. If fate is reasonable, then what is fate? 】

Su Qingyu: "..."

[Keep reading. 】

From then on, Xu Yunhan was willing to leave the room, sit in the living room for a while, or go to the yard to observe flowers and plants.

After Xu Rongjia saw the effect, when he went home, he would often take the young actors to play with Xu Yunhan for a while.

But Ren Heming never came again, and the one who came the most was the little girl named Lin Kongmeng who came last time.

At first, she just told Xu Yunhan about her acting studies. Later, gradually, as she became familiar with this family and Xu Yunhan, she started talking as if she were at home.

She said to Xu Yunhan, who didn't talk much, "Do you know who your mother is? I heard that your mother was an 18th-tier actress who climbed Xu Yun's bed. She abandoned you and ran away before she got pregnant."

She came back from the set with Xu Rongjia, held Xu Rongjia's hand who was in a good mood and talked for a while, then ran to Xu Yunhan's room and stared at him for a while, then said with a smile: "Director Xu has been with me longer than you. He’s more like my dad.”

Xu Yunhan sat on his small desk with his head bowed, holding a pencil and saying nothing.

She's right.

The filming of those four series of movies took a long time, and it was difficult for Xu Rongjia to go home once a month. He is a dedicated and excellent director, but he is not a qualified father. As his career rises, he becomes more and more unqualified.

The year Lin Kongmeng first played the heroine in the famous director Xu Rongjia's film, Xu Yunhan met Ren Heming for the second time.

That year Xu Yunhan still lived in the small room in the southeast corner of the second floor. The difference was that his desk became larger and moved from the bedside to the window.

The banyan tree outside the window is much bigger than before, and green clouds cover the roof.

Xu Yunhan was writing on the desk, and the pencil made a rustling sound on the hard paper. Suddenly, the tip of the pen stopped, leaving a heavy dot on the paper.

He looked up downstairs and saw 19-year-old Ren Heming.

Ren Heming came to Xu Rongjia under the leadership of a woman. They talked for a long time, and finally Ren Heming was dragged out by the woman.

Just as he walked out of the door, Ren Heming suddenly broke away from the woman's hand and said reluctantly: "Director Xu, please give me another chance!"

Xu Rongjia walked up to him and closed the door indifferently.

Ren Heming stood outside the door for a long time, Xu Yunhan looked at the window for a long time, and finally filled in "Director Department" in the first box of the application form.

They met again in college. Under Xu Yunhan's initiative, they met in a micro-film competition and began to get along and cooperate for nearly ten years.

In that micro-film competition, Xu Yunhan emerged and Ren Heming saw his talent.

The two people who acted in the same movie together as children are now worlds apart.

Lin Kongmeng acted as the heroine of a big-budget movie at the age of nineteen, while Heming couldn't even get the lead actor in an online drama, so he also wanted to get to know Xu Yunhan, a talented future director, even though he didn't know Xu Yunhan and Xu Rongjia at this time. Relationship.

Xu Yunhan rarely saw the sun, and his body was covered with a layer of illness. He was pale and sickly, and he often frowned and tightened his lips, looking like he was not easy to approach and did not like to be approached.

He often appears in the places where Ren Heming appears, and likes to follow him. His brows will become looser when looking at him.

Ren Heming didn't seem to feel Xu Yunhan's inconvenience at all, and he was always gentle and tolerant towards him, always smiling at him.

In this way, the two of them walked from campus to the workplace together.

Initially, things didn't go well for them.

Ren Heming's conditions in the entertainment industry are not superior, otherwise it would be impossible for him to not even get the lead actor in a web drama. It is difficult for a young director without any works to attract investment and find scripts.

Fortunately, Ren Heming was able to act in movies at a young age. His family had some resources, but not many.

Their first drama only raised 18 million in total funds, and the script was written by Xu Yunhan himself.

Both of them invested all their efforts and wealth in this drama.

Xu Yunhan worked harder than Xu Rongjia, and it was normal to only sleep for two or three hours.

He stared at the camera, the script, and Ren Heming. His eyes were getting darker and darker, and his face was getting paler.

This TV series is not very popular, but it has a good reputation, which is already very good for them.

During the private celebration banquet, they drank a lot of wine and excitedly thought about the future, and the atmosphere was warm.

Director Xu Yunhan remained silent during this period, sitting next to Ren Heming as usual with his head slightly lowered.

After all, he is a director. Someone wanted to bring him into the conversation, saying, "Our director will also become a famous director in the future. There will be many top-notch young actors and actresses vying to act in our director's plays."

"Yes, yes, maybe the director will even look down on Ren Heming by then, hahaha!"

Someone gave this a thoughtless jab.

Many of the actors here have known each other since college. After several years of college and four months of filming together on the set, many people could tell that Xu Yunhan liked Ren Heming.

I just don’t know if Ren Heming can see it himself.

The man also realized that he had said something unflattering nonsense and shut up.

When the atmosphere was silent, Ren Heming stroked the wine glass, looked at Xu Yunhan beside him, and asked him with a smile: "Director Xu, what kind of actor do you like?"

Perhaps it was because he was a little drunk and tired after drinking too much wine. Xu Yunhan did not answer, but just stared down at the cup with the sparkling light.

The atmosphere soon became lively again, and a group of people chatted about everything.

After the party was over, on the way back, Xu Yunhan, who had been silent walking behind, called out Ren Heming's name.

The late autumn night was cold and depressing, and the others had already walked away. Ren Heming turned around and saw Xu Yunhan standing stiffly in the autumn wind, with his head hanging slightly.

"You are different, you are different from all actors."

"My favorite..." He paused, his throat seemed to be spicy from the wine, "It's you."

As he spoke, his body tensed up more and more, so tight that it seemed like he would tremble in the next second.

Ren Heming just looked at him like this. After a while, he walked up to him with his feet up and his heart beating, patted his head, and said with a smile: "Drunk?"

"It's getting late, let's go."

His move to leave was stopped by a hand.

Xu Yunhan grabbed his clothes very tightly.

His skin was white and thin, and the purple blood vessels on it tensed up little by little, clenching tighter and tighter, as if the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time finally broke out at this moment, and his hands were trembling somewhere.

In the end, nothing was said.

The next morning, after sobering up, they started working on the new script again.

Ren Heming became more and more famous, Xu Yunhan's name also began to be known, and their relationship was still the same as before.

Ren Heming has always been very kind to Xu Yunhan. Xu Yunhan stayed on the set, and the set had many affairs. In order to deal with major or trivial matters, he suffered from severe lack of sleep, and his morbid, gloomy and serious temperament became more and more intense.

Sometimes a young actor comes to the crew and can be scared to tears by his words.

Ren Heming would comfort the young actors, and then say with a smile and some tenderness: "Our director... is really, really good."

Every time he heard such words, Ren Heming would purse his lips and do other things. Others could see that he was obviously in a better mood, in better spirits, and worked harder.

It really seems like he is working hard, as if filming the drama is the only and most important thing in his life.

The relationship between the two changed in Ren Heming's popular drama "Dense Fog".

They can all see that the script is good, but a large-scale science fiction script obviously requires a lot of investment. They made some money, but if the drama is well-produced, it will cost at least 200 million, and their money is far from enough.

Xu Yunhan was reluctant to give up on this drama. He keenly captured the potential of Big Bang, and he could also see how good the character of the male protagonist was and how suitable he was for Ren Heming.

But the copyright time was very tight, and their investment was not smooth.

That day he came back with a bleeding wound on his forehead and said that the investment was settled.

Ren Heming asked him in surprise where the investment came from. He didn't tell him, but Ren Heming still knew.

He was pleasantly surprised to find that Xu Yunhan turned out to be Xu Rongjia's son.

Xu Rongjia has a son, but he doesn't hang around or even go out all year round. He meets very few people. He never knew that the person next to him was Director Xu's almost forgotten son.

Xu Yunhan went to Xu Rongjia for this investment, but they had a quarrel for some reason. The injury on Xu Yunhan's forehead was caused by Xu Rongjia's ashtray.

Ren Heming looked at him for a long time, then suddenly stepped forward and hugged him, "Xiaohan, thank you, thank you very much, but don't do this again. You don't know how distressed I am when I see your injury."

Xu Yunhan was stunned for a moment, and he turned to look at Ren Heming blankly.

Ren Heming placed a kiss next to the wound on his forehead.

At that moment Xu Yunhan was trembling all over.

He was 25 years old that year and Ren Heming was 26 years old. It had been eight years since they first collaborated in college.

In the past seven years, he has been, always...

Xu Yun's shivers became more and more severe, and her peach-blossom eyes looked like peach blossoms for the first time.

They are together.

Xu Yunhan knew that Ren Heming, as an actor, was still in a critical period of his career and could not reveal his relationship, so they did not tell anyone when they were together and were always careful.

But many people found that Xu Yunhan's condition was much better and he worked harder than before. He watched every second of the shot to avoid showing any flaws.

They filmed that show for a whole year, and as they expected, it was a big hit.

Ren Heming, who had been saving up for many years, finally became famous.

When he saw the record-breaking ratings and the crazy number of fans for the first time, Ren Heming walked excitedly in the room and let out excited roars from time to time.

Xu Yunhan sat on the desk and looked at him and smiled.

So many people are not optimistic about Ren Heming, and even Xu Rongjia scolded him: "A director doesn't know how to look at people, and treats gravel as a pearl!"

So what if it's gravel.

Xu Yunhan thought that he was just a clam, always closed tightly, with a grain of gravel knocking the shell. He could only shell once, put it in the shell, and use the soft clam meat to grind the gravel into a pearl.

Ren Heming excitedly walked to Xu Yunhan and held his arm tightly, "Xiaohan, do you know how happy I am? Do you know how difficult it is for me?"

Xu Yunhan said: "I know."

"A Ming, I know."

After Ren Heming became famous, many scripts came to him, and his agent selected a few for him.

He went to other crews to film, and the two of them had fewer opportunities to get along. Sometimes they didn't see each other once a month. This is normal in the industry.

However, Xu Yunhan felt that something was not normal after seeing the scandal between Ren Heming and a female celebrity on the Internet twice in a row.

He couldn't describe the fear in his heart, so he called Ren Heming. Ren Heming found it funny, "Isn't this normal marketing? Xiaohan, you are not an outsider, don't you know this?"

Xu Yunhan comforted himself in this way, not to mention that Ren Heming liked men.

Unexpectedly, just as he comforted himself, something new happened online.

After Ren Heming became popular, more and more cakes were moved, and more and more people paid attention to and dug into his history.

Someone on the Internet broke the news about a video of Ren Heming drinking with friends in a bar.

Under the ambiguous and confusing light, he held a wine glass loosely with his fingers and said with a smile: "Him? I like wild people and fun people. I have no sexual interest in him at all."

This video slapped Ren Heming's character in the face, but it was not a serious blow to him.

Yes to Xu Yunhan.

Xu Yunhan recalled that he was with Ren Heming, but he and Ren Heming had never been too intimate.

Ren Heming said that it is his dream to be an actor and interpret different lives, and Xu Yunhan is his dream guide and lighting, and his artistic muse.

Xu Yunhan always thought that it was because of this that their relationship was pure and clean.

There are more and more things like this happening. Xu Yunhan is a director and has also been a screenwriter. He is good at capturing details and figuring out characters. Before, he was just blinded by the light. After it happened, he realized something.

Xu Yunhan slowly seemed to have returned to the state he had been in when he was a child. He was unwilling to go online or communicate with others, but he was even more eager to talk to Ren Heming, as if that was the only thing he could grasp in the black and empty world.

Ren Heming had been patiently explaining to him in the first place, but just like before, he got annoyed later.

After their first big fight, Xu Yunhan stayed in the room for a long time. Not knowing what he was thinking, he locked himself at home and started writing the script.

Two months later, he finished writing the script.

This script is his misty hope and the beginning of the tragedy of his short life.

At this time, the script was placed in front of Su Qingyu, which was the one he had just read.

He now understood the blood-soaked content in the script, which was the scene where Xu Yunhan and Ren Heming met for the first time when they were children.

This richly detailed script reads:

[The hand stretched out to him revealed a bright opening in the gray world, and he felt that the world was calling to him.

The world is not a scary thing. 】
