It was very difficult for International Zhang to meet International Liu after returning to Beijing.
Both of them are the most popular actors at the moment, and "Animal World" is about to be released, so the male and female protagonists are naturally the focus of the media.
Zhang Yuanjun left Dongshan Villa in a nanny car at six o'clock in the evening on the 18th. As soon as he left the community, he was followed by reporters.
Zhang Yuanjun first went to his usual gym. After practicing for almost an hour, he took a shower, went out from the small door, and took a taxi to leave. He thought he could get rid of reporters, but within 10 minutes of the taxi leaving, someone followed him. A black car came up, and you could tell it belonged to the media.
Zhang Yuanjun asked the driver to put him at the nearest subway station.
I know everything about the Beijing subway.
Zhang Yuanjun got rid of the reporter's tracking at the subway station, got on the bus again, and came to a quiet bar.
I ordered a drink and listened to the singer on the stage while sipping it.
The lights in the bar were dim, and Zhang Yuanjun was sitting in the corner wearing a hat, so no one recognized him.
But the temperament of celebrities is different after all. Five minutes after Zhang Yuanjun sat down, two girls came over to strike up a conversation:
"Handsome guy, are you alone?"
Zhang Yuanjun said nothing.
"Sisters, let's buy you a drink." The two of them sat across from Zhang Yuanjun in a familiar manner.
The two of them had been eyeing Zhang Yuanjun since he sat down. Although the lights in the bar were dim, they could still see Zhang Yuanjun's tall height and good temperament.
Zhang Yuanjun waved his hand and said, "No, thank you." He pressed his hat again.
At this time, the bar owner came over and said to the two girls: "Two beauties, my buddy has something to do today and it's really inconvenient. I'll treat the two beauties to a drink. Xiao Liu, the money spent on the two beauties' drinks today is mine."
After sending away the two girls who were chatting with him, Zhang Yuanjun apologized to the bar owner: "I've caused you trouble."
"Hai, what's the matter? You sit down while I'm busy."
"Bring me a pot of warm water. I think they will be here soon."
"good."
Ten minutes later, all the singers on stage had finished singing their fifth song tonight, and Liu Yifei just arrived.
"I went around a long way to avoid reporters and get here." Liu Yifei sat down.
"Me too, I came up from the subway station." Zhang Yuanjun poured water into the cup in front of Liu Yifei.
"The next song," the resident singer on the stage said, "'Young and Promising'."
The small bar burst into warm applause.
Liu Yifei laughed in the audience: "Did he give me the copyright?"
Zhang Yuanjun said: "Where can I collect the copyright for this thing?"
After the singer finished singing, Liu Yifei commented: "I sang better than you."
Zhang Yuanjun said nonchalantly: "My songs are not very good at singing." He added, "My songs are still sung in bars. Have you ever seen anyone sing your songs?
"Waiter, give that guy a glass of wine, don't tell me it's from me."
"good."
The male singer on the stage accepted the glass of wine with a smile and changed his female partner to sing: "The next song is "Little Lucky"."
"Hoo~~~" The girls in the bar cheered even louder.
"How is it?" Liu Yifei raised her eyebrows. The lights in the bar were too dim and Zhang Yuanjun couldn't see clearly.
"Isn't this song still mine?" Zhang Yuanjun said with a smile.
"You...you sold it to me. It's my song. I made this song popular." Liu Yifei refused.
"Okay, okay, your song, your song."
The female singer sang softly on the stage, and Liu Yifei also sang softly: "It turns out that you are the luck I want to keep the most. It turns out that we were so close to love, the one who gave me the power to fight the world, the one who accompanied me It’s raining..."
After the female singer on the stage finished singing, Liu Yifei also asked the waiter to bring a glass of wine, and then turned to Zhang Yuanjun and asked: "Why did you write this song?"
Zhang Yuanjun was keenly aware that this question was crucial. If he could not answer it well, he would be in danger of dying on the spot. He smiled and said, "Why are you asking this? Listen to the song." Zhang Yuanjun tried to get through.
But Liu Yifei refused: "Tell me, I want to know."
"Do you want to hear the truth or lies?"
"You can say whatever you want, I can tell the truth from the lies." Liu Yifei leaned on the table and looked at him.
But will Zhang Yuanjun be fooled by her?
"If you say this song has no story, I guess you won't believe it either."
"I definitely don't believe it." Liu Yifei said.
"But the male protagonist in the story of this song is really not me, but my best friend in high school." Zhang Yuanjun began to make up the story, "We call this guy Brother Qiang. He fell in love in high school, and what he said is true. , at the age of 17, he said that he would not marry someone who was not a family member, and promised each other with sweet words as if it was free of money. He even wanted to tattoo the girl's name on his arm, but a few of us stopped him."
"What happened next?" Liu Yifei listened seriously.
"Later he graduated but did not go to college. His father wanted to send him abroad, but he didn't agree. He said that it was okay to go abroad, but he had to take the girl with him. He was worried about staying in the country. The girl was frightened by his words. Jump, I'm 18 years old. I said I'd take you abroad, but I'd be fooled by someone else. The girl was admitted to a good school in other provinces, but you were the only one who would go abroad with you just by talking loudly.
"Brother Qiang's father was furious. He had raised his son for eighteen years, so he fell in love early. Because the girl wanted to live or die, he felt ashamed and forced his son to get on the plane and rushed to the UK. Later, it was It’s a bloody long-distance breakup plot.
"As a bystander and witness of the incident, I wrote such a song out of emotion."
What a great story! Zhang Yuanjun admired himself.
Except for the fact that Brother Qiang fell in love early and broke up in a different place after graduation, everything else in this story was made up by Zhang Yuanjun.
Liu Yifei really believed it.
"What now? How are the two of them?"
"Brother Qiang went to work in our Industrial and Commercial Administration Bureau after graduation as a clerk. I don't know about that girl."
"What a pity." Liu Yifei sighed, "It would probably be great if this story was made into a movie."
It doesn't matter if Liu Yifei doesn't say it. What she said really reminded Zhang Yuanjun.
Isn’t the story of Brother Qiang’s puppy love a template for youth movies?
Campus romance, eternal vows, and difficult choices after graduation. The villain father intervened arbitrarily. After maintaining it for a period of time, they were overwhelmed and the two broke up, leaving behind the regrets of youth.
Zhang Yuanjun was secretly proud: "I am indeed a good screenwriter, and the story I made up casually is a movie template."
After telling the story and singing two songs on stage, Zhang Yuanjun was a little hungry and couldn't eat any of the snacks in the bar: "Are you hungry?"
"A bit." Liu Yifei nodded.
"Let's go get something to eat." Zhang Yuanjun extended his hand to Liu Yifei.
The moment he stretched out his hand, Zhang Yuanjun scolded himself in his mind, "What should I do? It would be too embarrassing to take it back. It would be even more embarrassing if she didn't hold it."
When Liu Yifei saw Zhang Yuanjun reaching out his hand, she hesitated for a ten thousandth of a second, and then handed her hand over to Zhang Yuanjun to take.
The whole process of holding hands seems to outsiders to be without any sloppiness, it is just a normal behavior of lovers.
The two of them went out to eat together and didn't say much.
But it was not convenient for the two of them to stay out too late. After dinner, they took two taxis to go home separately without arousing anyone's attention or suspicion.
