chapter Ten

The next day, Xia Tingwan found a Cantonese-style private restaurant to make an appointment with Zhou Yang, and wanted to know about "On the Road".

He and Zhou Yang hadn't seen each other for a long time. Just after the car accident, Zhou Yang visited him a few times, and then basically contacted him through WeChat.

He also hid from Zhou Yang for more than a month because he didn't want to talk about work because of the divorce. He was severely scolded by Zhou Yang. In fact, he knew in his heart that it was normal for Zhou Yang to be angry with him.

Zhou Yang is still the same, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and a gentle face, but he is obsessed with fitness, and he can see the tight muscles through his shirt.

When Zhou Yang came to Xiangshan to look for Xia Ting in the evening, he and Su Yan had a lot in common. Su Yan built a huge gym at home, and he would go in for an hour or two as long as he was free, but he was not as obsessed with training big muscles as Zhou Yang, but he was very concerned about the lines.

Xia Tingwan was very dismissive of this. He was born with slender and slender limbs, and he didn't want muscles, so he was happy to be a slacker. As soon as Su Yan caught him to run, he would like to play dead.

Now that think about it, he is really a very unrestrained star.

Not only does he smoke and drink, he often stays up late, but he also doesn't eat fried, spicy, carbonated junk food, but if it weren't for this car accident, his appearance and figure would still be able to maintain a steady and stable appearance, which may also be called It must be a kind of God's reward to eat.

"Come on, let me see."

As soon as Zhou Yang sat down, he straightened Xia Tingwan's head, squinted his eyes and carefully observed the scar on his right face: "I've been repaired a few times recently, right?"

"Go." Xia Tingwan obediently carried out repairs according to Zhou Yang's orders during this time. The first course of laser repair has come to an end, and his scars have indeed faded a lot visible to the naked eye. It's as dreadful as it was at the beginning.

"Well, it looks like it's recovering pretty well," Zhou Yang finally nodded: "Ask a makeup artist to apply makeup and concealer for you in a few days and see the effect. It shouldn't be too bad."

Xia Tingwan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, Zhou Yang was critical, and since he said that, he should be okay.

"Then let's talk about the show, this "On the Road" is TBN's blockbuster program this year, a travel reality show, with five MCs, ten episodes in one season, and one travel location in two episodes. The specific itinerary is completely determined by the MCs. Coordinating together will involve foreign locations, but no assistants or translators will be provided. Emergencies must also adhere to the principle of letting the MCs solve themselves as much as possible. In general, the selling point of the show is to shoot the stars who are on the road. Attitude and appearance, in fact, to a certain extent, is also a record of the star's life."

Zhou Yang spoke very fast, and he seemed to realize that Xia Tingwan couldn't write down all the details so quickly, and said, "I will pass all the information to you later, and I will tell you the key points today."

Xia Tingwan was actually a little nervous when she heard this.

After being with Su Yan, his travel experience is actually quite rich.

Although Su Yan has several assistants, when he travels with him, he always wants to plan an itinerary with him, book tickets and choose hotels.

It's a pity that he is too lazy, and Su Yan is too caring. Over time, he doesn't bother to plan anything at all. Su Yan can always arrange what he wants, what he wants to play, and what he wants to eat. Su Yan has studied in Europe for many years and speaks a fluent English accent. When he is abroad, he does not need him to speak English to communicate.

At this time, after hearing what Zhou Yang said about the program, Xia Tingwan realized that he didn't know anything about it, and he could already imagine the embarrassing situation he might face.

"Previously, TBN did a more intense and intense challenge competition-type reality show. This time I wanted to change to a slower variety show, and even the shooting cycle was different from the previous shows. The previous shows were all filmed for a whole season and cut. After the good film is broadcast, TBN plans to innovate this time-even the shooting and broadcast cycle also wants to be closer to the taste of slow variety show and slow life, so in addition to filming four episodes in a row at the beginning, and then traveling every two weeks, also It is a shooting job, which is produced within two weeks, and then broadcasts once a week. It can be said that this is a novel form of simultaneous broadcast. The reason for shooting like this is to show the characteristics of the real life of the stars. MCs The real life trajectory will be intertwined with the recording of the travel program. During the travel, you can talk about the parallel bits and pieces of life, and you can also discuss the public opinion after the program was broadcast before. Court evening - are you listening? "

Zhou Yang saw that Xia Tingwan was a little distracted, and stopped to ask.

"I'm listening." Xia Tingwan was still immersed in some anxiety. Although she was dazed, she nodded subconsciously.

"As you know, everyone wants a more complete shooting schedule, so it's better to arrange the time. The fragmented shooting method of "On the Road" makes many ideal candidates unable to adjust the time, so, well, There was only one vacancy, but the program team is very strict with the shooting schedule. These ten shootings must be recorded properly, and it is not possible to say that there are other schedules and things interspersed in the middle, and you have to ask for leave. It's absolutely not allowed. Do you think it's okay?"

"This shouldn't be a problem."

Xia Ting thought for a while, other star artists may have tighter work schedules, but he really doesn't have them at present. Apart from taking care of Yin Ning, he can't think of anything else that can conflict with filming.

"That's good, but there's one more thing, I think you have to know it before making a decision." Zhou Yang touched his chin, pondered for a while, and said, "You are the other two MCs in this show. Know - Xing Le and Li Kaiwen."

Xia Tingwan was still drinking tea with her head down to calm her anxiety, but when she heard these two names, she almost spit out a mouthful of tea.

Xing Le is fine, but Li Kaiwen...

Li Kevin is the mixed-race male model he was photographed kissing after drinking by a reporter two years ago.

——

"What are you doing—" Xia Ting confiscated it for a while, and his face was a little bad: "TBN is it on purpose?"

To let him and Li Kevin appear on the same variety show, this is to make things clear.

He was photographed by reporters kissing Kevin Li in a bar, and he made headlines the next day.

Su Yan was still on a business trip at that time, and he was not in H city. When Xia Ting woke up late and read the news, he found that there were all kinds of writing - some who pulled out the love letter written by Su Yan and joked, some who said that he and Li Kevin had been tricked by the wind, and some who predicted that he and Su Those who want to agree to a divorce are more accusing him of indiscreet marriage.

He and Li Kaiwen didn't actually have anything, but they were drinking too much alcohol to play Truth or Dare at the party, but they didn't know how to kiss, and they were photographed by someone with a heart.

But I can't blame others for scribbling, he is indeed playing crazy, he was always photographed coming out of nightclubs late at night, either Zhao Nanshu picked him up, or Su Yan's driver picked him up, these things are connected together, the media Nature has its own logic.

At that time, he encountered a bottleneck in his work. He was so annoyed that he simply broke the can and fell. Neither Zhao Nanshu nor Zhou Yang could control him.

Of course Su Yan also said about him, but he wasn't tough. As soon as his arrogant temper came up, he directly told Su Yan not to worry about anything and force him to do everything. As soon as Su Yan heard the word compulsion, he didn't say anything more.

He hadn't done anything wrong then.

When he didn't make a mistake, he was always arrogant and domineering, and then waited for a second when he really made a mistake, and summed it up in one word.

When he was overwhelmed, he knew something had happened, so he called Su Yan dozens of times and Su Yan didn't answer, and when he called Secretary Lu, Secretary Lu didn't dare to say anything, only told him that Su Yan was very unhappy.

When he was at Xiangshan's house waiting for Su Yan to come back, he thought about a question——

What if Su Yan was so angry that she divorced him.

Just thinking of that possibility, at that time, he was so frightened that he was completely helpless.

It was the first time in their marriage that Su Yan was really angry with him.

In any case, this matter has always been his scandal, and he and Kevin Li have not been in touch since then.

But now TBN is obviously planning to take advantage of the aftermath of his divorce to bring the matter back to the public's attention. At that time, no matter it is ugly or pleasant, it will be good for some people to talk about it.

He was really unhappy about tossing his personal affairs for the sake of heat.

Zhou Yang seemed to have anticipated Xia Tingwan's reaction. He shrugged and said calmly, "Actually, think about it, you haven't had much work in the past few years, and you've eaten a bit of the money for a "Whale Talk". It's been a long time, plus the things about drunk driving and divorce, although all of them are explosive, but they can't be said to be positive? To be honest, TBN will give you the MC position without hesitation, and then you can see the price offered. , of course, they want to use these gossips on you to stir up the heat. This practice is too normal in the circle, there is nothing to make a fuss about, and some people talk about you, it means that no matter what, you are still a big star in the eyes of the public, your life There's nothing wrong with your private affairs that deserve attention—"

When Zhou Yang said this, seeing that Xia Tingwan still didn't speak, he couldn't help sighing.

He pushed his glasses and looked at him seriously: "Ting Wan, you are in an awkward position now, you know?"

"If you say that you are a powerful group, you have nothing else to do to help you carry the flag except "Whale Talk". Although the "Fight for the Front" was a big production three years ago, it has a poor reputation. You have said it yourself. It's like sleepwalking, and the response is not good. You haven't appeared in a work that can be discussed repeatedly by film critics, magazines and the formal media for a long time, and now you search your name, and all that comes out are drunk kisses Suspected cheating, drunk driving, disfigurement, divorce—I really want to wrap you up like I did before and hold you in the clouds, but I don’t have any works, so I’m going to build that movie star character. It’s a hollow high-rise building. ."

"The times make people, work hard when the wind is smooth, and the road to the top is actually quite easy, but after that momentum, if you want to get up again, you can't keep your posture good. You say you need to make money, then you If you don’t have the opportunity to show your strength, you must at least have the determination to use yourself as a talking point in exchange for exposure, making money itself is not easy, and if you don’t want to accept it, this is the reality.”

Xia Tingwan heard that his chest was almost blocked and he couldn't breathe. He was irritable, but he couldn't refute Zhou Yang. He took a cigarette from the cigarette case and didn't want to light it.

Everything Zhou Yang said was stuck in his heart.

"You think about it, I will send the program details to Nan Shu, and you can ask him for it."

Seeing this, Zhou Yang didn't persuade Xia Tingwan any more. The two of them walked out of the clubhouse in silence and said goodbye.

Xia Tingwan stood in the sun wearing sunglasses, and a few drops of sweat dripped from his forehead, but he didn't want to go away, he just wanted to stand in the sun for a while longer.

After the news of drinking and kissing came out, Su Yan did not return to Xiangshan until three days later.

At first, he thought he could be frank and lenient, and wanted to explain to Su Yan that he was drinking and playing the truth.

But Su Yan's face was cold, and he stopped with a sentence: "Did you kiss?"

He didn't dare to answer, and Su Yan didn't say a word, just took off his pants and pressed him on the bed.

Su Yan's thin lips were pursed tightly, and his long and narrow eyes narrowed, showing the ferocity and ruthlessness of a feline animal.

He had never seen Su Yan look so angry, and he immediately became afraid. He was afraid of the anger from others, because he always felt that beatings and pain would follow, so he was so scared and instinctively confessed his mistake in a crying voice: " Sir, I was wrong, I know I was wrong. Don't hit me—"

Su Yan looked down at him, his eyes could not tell whether it was anger or heartache.

Then Su Yan broke his leg and fucked him hard.

He kept whimpering in pain and called "Sir" to beg for mercy, but Su Yan ignored him, and after a while he turned him over and put him on his knees.

Su Yan punched his ass when he came in from behind.

It hurts and shames him to be spanked on his ass when he's an adult, but it's very different from how he felt when he was a kid.

It's not fighting, it's sex.

The strange pleasure made him ejaculate under Su Yan.

Su Yan turned his face over and asked him, "Will you dare in the future?"

He shook his head vigorously, thinking that the punishment was over, and tearfully wanted to lean over and let Su Yan kiss him, but Su Yan turned his head away and said coldly, "I won't kiss you this month."

The declaration like "I ignore you" like the kindergarten children actually lasted for a month.

During this period, Su Yan would still have sex with him, but no matter how he hugged Su Yan coquettishly and begged for mercy, and came close to Su Yan's ear and confessed his mistake over and over again, Su Yan still wouldn't kiss him.

Su Yan, who was usually gentle and peaceful, got up and was really serious.

But that kind of serious, but vaguely revealing a kind of cute.

Xia Ting thought about it late, and suddenly felt a burst of loneliness from his stomach.

Su Yan would never fuck him again for this kind of thing, and would not punish him angrily for not kissing him.

But he suddenly wanted to have sex with Su Yan.

"damn it."

Xia Tingwan cursed between his teeth, this sudden desire made him a little angry.

The joy of making love is gone. Su Yan was also lost by him, and he had nothing else to lose in his life.

Zhou Yang is right, it is impossible to get up from the quagmire without taking care of your face.

When there is no luck to win, he at least has the courage to lose.

——

A few days later, Xia Ting asked Zhou Yang to go to TBN with him to sign an agreement with the program group.

Zhou Yang was driving the car and suddenly said, "I didn't expect you to make a decision so quickly."

Just as Xia Tingwan was about to speak, she heard Zhou Yang continue: "There is something I didn't have time to tell you last time, Xu Zhe is coming back soon."

"Really? When will the teacher be back?"

Xia Tingwan sat up straight and her eyes lit up a little.

In fact, after entering the entertainment industry, the person he is most grateful and trusted is Xu Zhe.

Unlike Su Yan. For him, Xu Zhe is not only a friend, but also a teacher, and even has some respect for his parents.

Xu Zhe and Lu Xiangnan, who had been out of love for a long time, went on a cruise in the Caribbean for a vacation together. They played for half a year. During Xia Tingwan's car accident and divorce, Xu Zhe called and asked about the situation. In fact, Xia Tingwan had a lot of things to think about. Talked to Xu Zhe, but through the phone, felt that everything was not very thorough.

Now that Xu Zhe is coming back, of course he is very happy.

"It should only take a week or two, but he may have to deal with some real estate in the United States, so it might be a delay."

Zhou Yang paused for a while when he said this, then turned his head to look at Xia Tingwan: "Actually, I originally thought, when he comes back, let him find an agent for you."

Xia Tingwan originally had a smile on her face, but suddenly she froze when she heard Zhou Yang say this.

"You have always been a very unprofessional person. You used to be just self-willed, but after you married Su Yan, you filmed "Battle for the Frontier". Because of the poor response, you simply relaxed and abandoned it. I don't know if it was Su Yan's treatment of it. Your way makes you completely lose the anxiety and pressure that a normal person should have for survival. All in all, for a while, I thought you were useless. I wanted to talk about changing the agent, and then you went out. I also delayed the car accident."

Xia Tingwan's heart couldn't help sinking. He and Zhou Yang had been working together for five years. Although their personal relationship was normal, his trust in Zhou Yang was unshakable.

If Zhou Yang decided to leave him at this time, it would be too heavy a blow.

Zhou Yang was still driving, his expression did not change, and the profile of his face looked cold and hard: "But recently, I think you have changed a little - I can't see too much now, but I I still changed my mind. Personally, I don’t like you that much, and you know it, but you still seem to have a magic power that makes it hard to leave you cruelly. I know about the divorce, you are sad, but From my perspective, this is actually your chance."

"Su Yan loves you like he loves a little boy who will always live at the age of eighteen. But in fact, you may have the ability to grow into a man, but you don't know it yet."

Xia Ting opened his lips late, but he was speechless for a while. After a long time, he said softly, "Zhou Yang, you know that I actually bumped into someone, right?"

"Did you find it yourself, or did Su Yan tell you?" Zhou Yang asked as he drove into the parking lot of the TBN building and looked for a parking space.

"I found it myself, and then I went to Su Yan, and he told me the truth."

"Of course I know—" Zhou Yang raised his eyebrows a little coldly: "It's just that Su Yan didn't let me tell you, and he immediately took action to settle the media. He's done everything, and I don't have much to say. Meaning, and I'm just a small entertainment agent, I can't provoke Su Yan."

Zhou Yang turned off the car and walked to the elevator with Xia Tingwan, saying as they walked, "Actually, this is Su Yan's logic. It may hurt you, or even if you hurt others, it's just Guilt will make you sad, he will solve it directly and never discuss it with you. Do you think it is gentle? In fact, this is domineering, and it is more terrible than the superficial domineering. If you didn't marry Su Yan, you probably wouldn't be. It's like this now."

Xia Tingwan could feel Zhou Yang's strong dissatisfaction with Su Yan, and the love between the two always had different appearances and interpretations in the eyes of others.

He felt that Zhou Yang was right, but something was wrong. He liked Su Yan to spoil him. If Su Yan didn't, he would toss Su Yan, but Su Yan was too fond of him, and he became what Zhou Yang said. "Like this".

He couldn't imagine what he would be like if he didn't marry Su Yan.

He may not have the pain and despair of losing Su Yan as he is now, but he probably also won't have the scorching joys of those five years.

The elevator stopped on the eighteenth floor. As soon as Xia Tingwan and Zhou Yang got out of the elevator, they saw a man walking towards them.

The man is nearly 1.9 meters tall, with brown hair with a bit of natural curls, a tall nose and complexion obviously of Caucasian descent, but the shallow double eyelids and slender eyebrows have an oriental meticulousness .

When he saw Zhou Yang and Xia Ting in the evening, he stopped a little stiffly.

It's Kevin Lee.

Li Kaiwen's good-looking is the kind of bright and handsome that "as long as he is not blind, he can understand".

You can't pick out what's wrong with his facial features, and you can't pick out what's wrong with his figure.

But apart from complimenting him for being so handsome, he doesn't seem to be able to say anything else.

Because he didn't hide anything, he just put some points on his face.

"Hello, long time no see, Ting Wan. I just heard today that you also joined the show "On the Road", what a coincidence—"

Li Kevin still raised his hand to say hello to Xia Tingwan. He smiled, but the smile was obviously a little embarrassing. When the corner of his mouth was pulled up, a shallow ditch appeared in the middle of his chin.
