under the rose

Chapter 42

Every moment after Wen Shichuan left his house, Fu Xingyun received an invitation from Xu Wei to meet him, and made an appointment for the next afternoon at a certain famous coffee shop.The coffee shop was on the top floor of the tallest building in the city. When he took the sightseeing elevator upstairs, Fu Xingyun saw the whole city under his feet.

Fu Xingyun was in a nervous mood, until the moment he stepped into the coffee shop and saw Xu Wei, he hadn't decided what to say.Xu Wei reserved a small private room with floor-to-ceiling windows next to it. He was alone, and he came very early.Fu Xingyun had deliberately arrived half an hour earlier. When he arrived, Xu Wei was already sitting at the table, and most of the coffee on the table had been drunk.

"Director Xu, I'm sorry, I'm late." Fu Xingyun said cautiously.

"I came early," Xu Wei said, "Sit down."

After Fu Xingyun took his seat, he casually ordered a cup of coffee, waiting for Xu Wei to speak first.Who knew that Xu Wei didn't get into the point, he was wearing the brown sunglasses he used to wear, hiding his sharp eyes, Fu Xingyun noticed that his pair of sword eyebrows were exactly the same as Wen Shichuan's.

"I often come here. It's very high here, and when I look down, I feel both happy and stressed." Xu Wei said without bounds, "What do you think?"

Fu Xingyun was a little restless. Xu Wei and Wen Shichuan were father and son, but they didn't look alike at all.

"It's extremely cold at high places." Fu Xingyun replied.

Xu Wei looked at him: "Your name is 'Xingyun', 'Xingyun' of 'Xingyun Liushui'?"

"Yes."

Fu Xingyun's original name was "Fu Xiaoyun". I don't know whether it was given by my father or my mother, and I don't know why. It was probably because I looked up and saw a cloud in the sky when it was time to name it, so I took it.From the name to the childhood, there is an indescribable, careless cruelty.

He has always been dissatisfied with his name, mediocre and inconspicuous.

According to him, Wen Shichuan's name was given by his mother, how wonderful.Fu Xingyun said at that time, I want to change my name, what do you think is good.So Wen Shichuan thought about it for him, and Fu Xingyun was very satisfied.He thought, flowing clouds and flowing water sounds very free and unrestrained, and will not be bound by any past.

Later, when his career was not going well, he always thought that maybe the name "Yun" had a bad meaning from the beginning, and he had no fixed place, and he would be a foreign land wherever he went.

"Good name." Xu Wei said.

Fu Xingyun became a little impatient with him, and asked tactfully, "Director Xu, are you asking me to have an interview?"

Xu Wei seemed to have just remembered today's purpose, leaned back on the seat, and said: "Your agent should have told you that I want to make a romance movie next, and I want to invite you to play the leading role. You will be supporting Bailu, and I have already negotiated with her. I have brought the contract, as long as you agree, you will be able to join the group soon, and the time is very tight."

It was exactly what Meng Qing had said to him, nothing new at all.

Fu Xingyun asked cautiously: "Thank you for your trust. My ability is not enough. I don't know why you are the leading actor in this movie. I don't know if I am suitable for this role."

Xu Wei said: "I can find you, you must be suitable. I have a sense of proportion in my movie."

Just now, Fu Xingyun slandered Xu Wei and Wen Shichuan as not like father and son, but now he feels that they are indeed father and son.The arrogance of talent and arrogance in Xu Wei's bones is exactly the same as that of Wen Shichuan, except that one person is outgoing and the other is restrained.Xu Wei's release comes from his many years of success in the industry, but Wen Shichuan is proud of himself. Even when he is the most down-and-out, living in the most shabby house, and using the most shabby equipment, he never lowers his demands and bottom line.

"I went to see the premiere that day. The movie "Xingyun" is very good. I also talked to the screenwriter, Ms. Yu. I hope she will write the screenplay for my next movie."

No matter how you look at it, Xu Wei is not the kind of character who draws cakes and fools people. He said so firmly that he is absolutely inseparable. Fu Xingyun thinks this is simply unimaginable. He and Yu Xiangwan's worth is no longer the same as before.

But Fu Xingyun still had a little reason left, he thought of the incompatible relationship between Xu Wei and Wen Shichuan, and all the abnormalities in it.He took a sip of the iced coffee brought by the waiter, looked down at the floating ice cubes in the cup, and summoned up his courage to ask, "Director Xu, let me ask, you and Director Wen?"

Fu Xingyun thought Xu Wei would be angry, but Xu Wei's expression didn't change at all, and Fu Xingyun couldn't figure out his way at all.

"I'm his father, but we haven't seen each other for many years. Young people are always a little arrogant." Xu Wei said, "You and him"

Fu Xingyun felt guilty for a while, and quickly said: "We have known each other for a long time, and we are very good friends."

Xu Wei bent his index finger, and knocked on the wooden table, one sound at a time, as if hitting Fu Xingyun's heart.

"I've always said that I won't harm him. You and Miss Yu are both hand-carried by him, so naturally I can't treat you badly. Besides, you are all excellent."

Although it was a compliment, Fu Xingyun felt uncomfortable for a while.At the end of the day, Fu Xingyun still didn't say whether he would agree or refuse. He always felt that this was a big event, not only for his career, but also for the relationship between him and Wen Shichuan.

He had to think again, talk to Meng Qing, and Wen Shichuan.

Xu Wei looked down at the time on the watch, then looked up at him again, with a warm smile: "It's not too late for a good meal."

Fu Xingyun politely said goodbye to Xu Wei even though he was upset.When leaving the cafe, the waiter pressed the down button for him by the elevator.Fu Xingyun waited absently, and after a while, the elevator came.

With a sound of "ding", the elevator door opened slowly, and there was actually Wen Shichuan inside.

As the elevator door opened, the two of them looked at each other, seeing surprise and doubt in each other's eyes.But Wen Shichuan's eyes quickly turned cold, and he lowered his voice and asked, "Did he ask you out?"

Wen Shichuan didn't say who "he" was, but Fu Xingyun immediately knew that he was talking about Xu Wei.

Fu Xingyun hurriedly said: "Yes, but"

The elevator door opened for a while and was about to close again, the waiter hurriedly held it down for them, Wen Shichuan got out of the elevator, walked sideways beside Fu Xingyun, and left a word.

"Wait for me at home."

Fu Xingyun was apprehensive, always feeling that something was wrong.But considering the occasion, he didn't say anything, and watched Wen Shichuan open the door and enter the box he had just walked out of.

After arriving home, Fu Xingyun did nothing but nestled on the sofa and searched for news about Xu Wei on the Internet.

Most of the content that can be found on the Internet is related to the film industry, and there is very little about Xu Wei's private life.Fu Xingyun searched for a while, but could only find some.It is mentioned in it that Xu Wei's deceased first wife was a university professor, and the two gave birth to a son.

Fu Xingyun also found a family photo of them, which probably dates back a long time.At that time Xu Wei was still very young, tall and handsome, with handsome features.At that time, Wen Shichuan was probably only five or six years old, with short curly hair, wearing a small suit and overalls, and a serious expression on his small face.

Fu Xingyun's gaze was fixed on the only woman in the photo.

Wen Shichuan's mother, the deceased Ms. Wen, has a beautiful face and a heroic spirit. She is not inferior to any female star in the entertainment industry. Wen Shichuan's facial features actually resemble her.What's rare is that she has a calm temperament, like still water or a breeze, which makes people feel good. When Fu Xingyun thinks that she has passed away, he can't help but feel sad.

He looked down and found that Xu Wei did not remarry, but there were many insidious rumors, most of which were from the actresses he cooperated with, and there were even some homosexual rumors.

The more Fu Xingyun watched it, the more he felt that it was not a good taste. Although Xu Wei's achievements in movies cannot be denied, he is not a good father no matter how he looks at it.

At home, Fu Xingyun has been watching the time.Wen Shichuan didn't say when he would be back, and Fu Xingyun didn't have the heart to do anything else, so he started cooking.He was actually not very hungry, but he was still idle when he was idle, and he cooked slowly, and also cooked three dishes and one soup, and put them on the table, which was full of color, fragrance and taste.

It was almost dinner time when Wen Shichuan arrived home.Fu Xingyun told him the password of the floor and the house, and he opened the door and entered.

As soon as he entered the door, Wen Shichuan asked him: "Do you want to act in his movie?"

Fu Xingyun stood in front of him and replied, "I haven't thought about it yet."

"Do you want to act?" Wen Shichuan changed the phrase, focusing on "thinking".

He was aggressive, standing at the entrance, only half of his face was illuminated by the dim yellow overhead light, and his expression was hard to discern.

Fu Xingyun said: "To be honest, who would not want to. But I'm still thinking about it, because"

"Don't go." Wen Shichuan said directly, "He only came to you because of me, not because of anything else, don't be coaxed by him, he is absolutely uneasy and kind."

Fu Xingyun didn't understand, he said, "Is this what he told you?"

"What did he tell you?" Wen Shichuan asked back, "Because he likes your talent? Acting skills? He admires you? If that's really the case, why didn't he find you earlier?"

Fu Xingyun knew that he was telling the truth, and he definitely didn't have anything that Xu Wei could look up to, whether it was acting talent or popularity.But the negation from Wen Shichuan chilled him down, as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over his head, and he was cold from head to toe.

His expression quickly turned cold, and he folded his hands on his chest: "Did you tell Yu Xiangwan about this, and you won't let her cooperate with Xu Wei?"

"It's different." Wen Shichuan said.

"It's different?" Fu Xingyun raised his voice and asked, "What's the difference? You think your dad likes Yu Xiangwan because she's talented, but he likes me because he's uneasy and kind, is that so?"
