Chapter 8

On the 26th of the year, Senhu Media held a birthday party for Yang Yege and invited some fans to attend.

The scale of the birthday party was not large. In order to ensure safety, no tickets were sold, and only [-] invitation letters were sent out. In this way, the security check work of the day still made the security guards one head and two big.

Yang Yege was doing makeup and hair in the background, the stylist grabbed the end of his hair, clicked his tongue a few times and said, "Your hair end is a bit broken, can I trim it for you?"

Yang Yege looked at himself in the mirror and nodded in agreement: "Okay."

"When was the last time you got your hair cut?"

"Last year, I cut it short when I was playing the executioner, and I kept it long after it was finished."

The stylist was speechless: "This... grows too fast."

Yang Yege smiled mysteriously. He washes his hair every day with Amino Acid Shampoo. Can he not grow fast?

The makeup and hair stylist worked hard for a long time, but still made him the most fashionable messy hairball hair, then put on foundation and eyeliner, and was about to apply lip gloss, Sun Hui broke open the door of the dressing room and ran in excitedly with a bag: " Brother Yang, don't rush to put on makeup, eat something first!"

Yang Yege pointed to the food in the bag and asked, "What?"

"Brother Chen Wei asked someone to bring it over. He said that his apprentice made the Roujiamo. It's delicious!"

Yang Yege took a roujiamo and took a bite: "Mmm, it smells good."

The makeup and hairdresser waited for him to finish eating the steamed bun, sighed, applied the foundation around his lips, put a layer of transparent lip glaze on his mouth, and reminded: "Don't forget to chew some gum before going on stage."

"I know."

"You go out to meet the fans like this first, and when you are playing the piano in the middle, come back and change into the clothes of the God of Thousand Faces, and I will let you down your hair."

"it is good."

The phone was vibrating non-stop on the dressing table. Yang Yege glanced at it, raised the corner of his mouth, and picked it up to answer it.

"Bad guy! You are a bad guy!" Cai Ling's voice came from the other end: "You didn't even tell us about your birthday! If Brother Xue hadn't sent me an invitation letter, I would have been completely kept in the dark !"

Yang Yege laughed: "Don't you know? Are you outside?"

"Brother Xue and I are both outside. Ha, ha, Yege, you are three months younger than me! Call me sister!"

"roll!"

"Ha, ha, ha!" Cai Ling was overjoyed, and immediately returned to normal after laughing: "Okay, come out quickly, hundreds of people are waiting for you, don't play big names just because you are popular."

Yang Yege hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and adjusted his clothes in front of the mirror.

One minute later, the crowd of fans saw Ye Ge appear on the stage in a loose V-neck white sweater and silver-gray cropped pants.

"Ye, song! Ye, song! Ye, song!!!" The fans shouted excitedly, some held up DV videos, and some kept taking pictures.

A beam of chasing light hit Yang Yege's body, and the big screen behind the stage gradually lit up. Countless spots of light flew faster and faster, and finally merged into a huge golden logo - Yege?25.

The master controller used the on-site audio to remind: "Please don't take pictures and record the audience. We invited a professional team to record the video for this birthday party. The finished film will be posted on the official website of Senhu Media. You can watch and download it for free." Repeated.

The fans consciously put away the camera equipment, and instead held fluorescent sticks and light signs and shook them.

Yang Yege picked up the microphone and bowed: "Thank you everyone!"

The fans screamed for joy. At this time, the stage was dimly lit. Yang Yege looked down and saw Xue Cong and Cai Ling standing in the front row at a glance. The green fluorescent sticks illuminated the two faces. , very weird.

"Thank you everyone for celebrating my birthday with me. This is the most grand birthday I've ever experienced..." He suddenly choked up, as if thinking of something, his eyes flickered for a moment, and he recovered quickly, continuing to say the words he had memorized: "Thanks to my agency, Senhu Media, and to my colleagues for preparing a birthday party for me. I am very happy."

The applause rang out, and the fans shouted chaotically one after another. After a while, they converged into a neat voice: "Happy birthday——"

Yang Yege complained in his heart that a birthday party was like a concert. He smiled and chatted with fans for a while, drew numbers and invited people to come on stage to play games together, and also talked about a talk show, teasing operas, dance dramas, dramas and film and television performances Cai Ling was also invited by the black box to perform with him on stage, and the two had a perfect understanding, which made everyone laugh wildly.Xue Cong stood in the first row and looked at him with a smile.

Yang Yege glanced at his watch, and it was almost time, so he asked fans to wait for him for a while, the main event was coming.

The fans rested for 10 minutes, and suddenly the lights in the arena went black, and they fell into complete darkness, and they couldn't see their fingers.

The audience buzzed about what was going on, did the power go out?No, if you listen carefully, you can hear the slight electric sound of the surrounding audio system. That's... the highlight of Yege's talk?

Everyone's curiosity was aroused, and suddenly, the sound of the piano came from the darkness.

Someone immediately blurted out: "Storm!"

Someone in the crowd echoed: "That's right, the Tempest Sonata, that's the song at the beginning of the Thousand-Faced God..."

Everyone understands at once, this is the real scene restoration of the opening title of "The God of Thousand Faces"!Immediately, the audience burst into applause, and those who had watched "The God of Thousand Faces" were even more excited.

Yang Yege sat on the stage and played the piano in the dark. He has been practicing blindfolded for the past few days, and he can play it smoothly, but he deliberately paused for a second or two in order to restore the sound in the movie.

After playing for a while, Yang Yege stopped, and then, the three vertical characters of "Thousand-faced God" slowly appeared on the black background of the big screen, slightly illuminating his silhouette playing the piano.

His thick long hair hangs over his shoulders, and he is wearing a large black waterproof windbreaker. It is exactly the appearance of the painter Bai Yue he played when he fled to the mountains after Fuming. He stopped for about ten seconds, and the lights on the scene came on. Fans Shouting excitedly, Yang Yege raised his hands, put them back on the keys, and continued playing.

The melody of "The Tempest" came to a dense part, Yang Yege instinctively showed off his skills, his fingers fluttered, and he smiled slightly, and began to play with his eyes closed, unexpectedly, he didn't miss a single note throughout the whole process.At the end of the song, he stood up and bowed in a dignified manner, and the audience applauded thunderously...

Yang Yege caught Mai and joked: "When I was filming "The God of Thousand Faces", I never finished playing this song. Today I finally got my wish. Patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder feel refreshed!"

Fans: "Hahahaha——" "Ye Ge is so cute!" "I love you——"

After receiving a few confessions, Yang Ye sang and asked the fans in the audience with a smile, "Do you still want to listen?"

Fan: "To-"

"Hmm... what else do you want to play?"

There was a commotion in the audience, and suddenly, the voice of the chief controller came from the stereo: "Ahem, that...Yege, are you ready?"

Yang Yege was taken aback for a moment: "What are you preparing for?"

The chief controller laughed twice: "Eat the cake!"

Yang Yege: "Huh?"

The fans started booing again.At this time, accompanied by the sound of "squeak—" the door opened on the stereo, a person came out of the backstage carrying a cake.

Yang Yege was stunned immediately, and the close-up camera captured his surprised expression at that moment.

It was Chen Gong.

Some of the fans at the scene were their CP fans. They were all young girls. When they saw Chen Gong appear, they immediately screamed, danced and hugged, and the official handed out candy, with the blue sky above their heads.

With a small microphone pinned to his collar, Chen Gong came over with a cake in both hands, and his voice was quite clear: "Should we sing happy birthday at this time? But it's too old-fashioned, how about singing something else?"

Fan: "Oh oh oh oh oh-"

Chen Gong cleared his throat, thought for a while, and sang an old song——

"Open the door of the world

You are the one who stands outside the door afraid of being late

Holding a serious heart that doesn't know how to care..."

Chen Gong's voice was a little low, and he sang quite nicely, but the tune of this song was a little higher. He sang three lines, stopped and looked at Yang Ye's song, the candlelight dancing on the cake made his eyes sparkle glow.

Yang Yege woke up from the shock, tapped the keys lightly, and continued to sing——

"Kiss your eyes and fearless youth"

The fans clapped and clapped, and several CP fans were so excited that they cried.Yang Yege played an impromptu accompaniment on the piano, then looked at Chen Gong, the two looked at each other, and sang together with the piano accompaniment:

"Open the door of the world

You are the loneliest person standing outside the door

Holding a serious heart that doesn't care

How cruel time is when passing by you"

When it came to the chorus, Yang Ye's singing skills suddenly exploded, the three chambers resonated, and the volume and emotion overwhelmed Chen Gong who was playing soy sauce——

"The mud of the left hand, the mud of the right hand, the flowered clothes of the bosom friend

The world is supposed to be what you wake up to

The sadness in the left eye and the stubbornness in the right eye all look the same

It turns out that you are the guts of my ego."

There was another piece of piano accompaniment, and Chen Gong sang softly along with the melody, which was melodious.

Yang Yege had never sung in public before. Many people thought he was tone-deaf. Tonight was a blockbuster. He not only could sing, but his singing skills were almost at the professional level.After all, I received a lot of extracurricular guidance from Yin Min in college, and I am willing to practice hard, but I have no chance to perform.

The fans felt as if they had been given blood, and the light sticks were waving like Star Wars. They really regarded the birthday party as a concert.

"...

Young, frivolous, late, and old wounds are all waiting to be forgiven by him

So you are the place where I go back..."

***

At the end of the song, Yang Yege stopped the accompaniment, got up and walked to Chen Gong, and carefully blew out 25 candles.

He lowered his head a little apprehensively, not daring to look at Chen Gong again, for fear that the other party would come up and smear the cake on his face. Became shy.

The two stood quietly opposite each other for a while, and sure enough, Chen Gong scooped a little cream with his index finger, and quickly tapped two dots on his cheeks.It is estimated that in front of hundreds of fans, I dare not wipe too much.

"Yege, happy birthday!"

"Thank you."

Chen Gong gently hugged him and went down. Yang Yege took the cake and his arms sank involuntarily.Good weight!

"It's such a big cake..." Yang Yege said with a smile, "I'm sure I can't finish it by myself, so some people can help me eat it, okay?"

Fan: "Okay—"

So another [-] numbers were drawn, and fans were invited to the stage to eat cakes.After eating, I saw that the time was almost up, and then entered the last link-playing the video.

The video was edited by a few fans using all Yang Yege's film and television materials they could find, and the background music was also composed by the music fans themselves, which is full of blockbuster feeling.Yang Yege was a little shocked. This level of editing is superb, and it may have been done by professionals.The flashing scenes include "The Great Qin Dynasty", "Thousand-faced God", "The Executioner", as well as the movie "Love Magic" he has guest starred in before, the mainland version "Nie Zi" and "Legend of the Sea Night", the most rare Surprisingly, someone actually found an old movie material from more than 20 years ago. It is a horror film starring the legendary actress Zhuang Fan. In one scene, Zhuang Fan is wearing a white nightgown and holding a child who is about two or three years old. , running barefoot in the icy and snowy night, the camera zoomed in, and the little round-faced child in her arms opened his eyes in the bumps, and called out in a daze, "Mom?"

Yang Yege's heart suddenly tightened.

That's himself...

***

Xu Ziyan walked through the dark and silent passage with his mobile phone with a blinking green light, and came to the back door of the theater.

Yang Yege was sitting on the steps wrapped in a cashmere coat, with a cigarette between his thin white fingers, not smoking, and was staring blankly at the sky.

Xu Ziyan walked over and sat down beside him.

"Chen Gong was let in by me," he explained, "It seems impolite not to let him in when he comes to you with a cake."

Yang Yege forced a smile: "We made a promise when we were young that he would spend every birthday with me and buy me cakes."

"So did he do it?"

"It's okay when I'm in school, but when I start working..." Yang Yege extinguished his cigarette butt on the ground: "The end of the year is always the busiest time for an artist, so it's unrealistic for him to leave to accompany me."

Xu Ziyan didn't comment, just sat quietly beside him.

Yang Yege suddenly said, "Xu Ziyan, I lied."

Xu Ziyan: "?"

Yang Yege seemed a little sad: "I told my fans that this is my grandest birthday, but it's actually not."

Xu Ziyan remained silent, and Yang Yege continued to state: "The most solemn birthday is my first birthday."

"One year old?"

Yang Yege shook his head: "It was when I was born...the ward was full of flowers, and everyone was smiling. My mother was lying on the bed, smiling so happily, and I was the only one crying. Stamping around and crying."

Xu Ziyan was surprised: "You... still remember?"

"My dad took pictures of them. When I was a child, I always took them out to see..." Yang Yege sat with his knees tucked in habitually, and turned his head to ask Xu Ziyan: "You said, a newborn child whose brain is not yet fully developed, what? I don't know, so why is he crying?"

Xu Ziyan smiled: "I probably don't want to be born."

Yang Yege's eyes were empty: "My father said that children are creditors in the previous life, and they come to collect debts in this life. But I am a person who does not want to come to this world. I always feel that I don't owe my mother anything. Actually... Actually I still owe it. You are right, she gave me life after all, and I should forgive him. "

Xu Ziyan put the mobile phone with green light in his hand: "Do you want to call her?"

Yang Yege turned on the screen, unlocked it, and ignored several missed calls. He opened the address book, scrolled down, and finally found the name——

Zhuang Fan.

Xu Ziyan encouraged him: "Go ahead, take this step, it's not as difficult as you think."

Yang Yege took a deep breath of cold air, exhaled the white mist, picked up the phone, and pressed the dial button.

"Beep-beep-beep-"

It's approaching midnight now, so it should be morning on the American side.

I don't know if the other party is awake or not.

Xu Ziyan suddenly became a little apprehensive, what would happen to Ye Ge if this call failed?

It rang twice more, and it was connected.

"HELLO?" A deep female voice came from the other end.

Yang Yege became visibly nervous, grabbed his phone, his voice trembling: "Mom..."

The other end became silent, Yang Yege trembled all over, and tried his best to control the calm tone: "I am Yege."

The other end was silent for a while, didn't say anything, and hung up the phone directly.

Yang Yege stared blankly at the "call ended" interface on the phone, and suddenly cried like a child.

Xu Ziyan immediately pulled him into his arms and patted him on the back.The body in his arms was thin and boneless, which made his heart ache.

"She hates me...she must still hate me..." Yang Yege was sobbing and choking: "When he was pregnant with me, he often vomited acid and bile, and her throat was ruined like this. She can't sing anymore... Her career is gone. To take care of me, she took a hiatus for several years. After she came back, she couldn't get any good movies... Woooo...she must be hating me..."

Xu Ziyan felt heartbroken, he hugged the person in his arms tightly, and comforted in a low voice: "It's not your fault, Ye Ge, it's not your fault, it's her own decision to give birth to you, not your fault. "

"I know how much she loves acting. She walks around in the living room in costumes to practice her lines at night, and she cries in the mirror in the middle of the night. I know it all... Actually, I also hope, I hope I was not born by her... If If I wasn't born, my mother wouldn't hate me so much..."

Xu Ziyan covered his mouth with distress: "Stop talking, Yege."

After a long time, Yang Yege gradually stopped crying, calmed down, wiped his tears with the back of his hand, a little embarrassed: "Sorry... I lost my temper."

"It's okay." Xu Ziyan put his arms around his shoulders and patted him twice: "I'm not an outsider."

Yang Yege nodded: "Well, you are a wife."

Xu Ziyan: "..."

After being quiet for a while, Xu Ziyan was afraid that he would be sad again, and comforted him: "Don't be too sad, who doesn't have some secrets? Look at me, people think I'm a rich second generation, how lucky I am to have money, but they often ignore , In order to be worthy of such a family background, how much pressure do I have to bear and how many things I like to give up. When I insisted on studying architecture at the beginning, my father and I had a very unpleasant dispute. Even if I compromise and return to work in the company, the relationship still cannot be eased. "

Yang Yege stared at him blankly: "Why can't it be eased?"

"Alas..." Xu Ziyan sighed: "There are two sons, so I compare everything, maybe it's preconceived, he thinks my brother is good, this is good, that is good, and I am bad. There is nothing wrong with it, and it cannot enter his eyes."

Yang Yege was a little bit aggrieved for him: "Why is this, you are obviously very good, why did you compromise with him?"

"My mother..." Xu Ziyan paused when he said this: "Oh, my parents, it's very strange. The relationship between the two of them is obviously not good, but they are unwilling to divorce. When they were young, they quarreled every day and accused each other. The problem is that I was close to my mother since I was a child, and I have been influenced by my ears and eyes. After all, I have some prejudices against my father. Later, my mother became seriously ill and changed her mind. When she was dying, she persuaded me: "I am really worried about your suffering abroad. Your father and you It’s not easy for me, come back and help them.” I promised her and returned to China to keep the promise. But my dad always had a grudge in his heart. He thought that since I knew I would come back one day, why should I waste four years? Time to study architecture? I didn’t lay a good foundation for inheriting the family business, and I didn’t accompany my mother well... Sometimes I doubt whether my original decision was right or wrong.”

Yang Yege suddenly became old-fashioned: "In this world, there is no right or wrong, just different perspectives."

Xu Ziyan was silent for a while, then slowly stretched out his hand and placed it on top of his head: "Are you still sad?"

Yang Yege sniffed, "It's all right."

Xu Ziyan rubbed the top of his head: "Yege, let's put aside the unsolvable things for now. No matter what, the road ahead still has to go on."

Yang Yege smiled slightly and said nasally, "I understand."

Xu Ziyan took Yang Yege back to the dressing room backstage, took off his make-up and changed his clothes, and when he came out, he ran into Xue Cong and Cai Ling who had bribed the staff to come and give them gifts.

Cai Ling rushed forward and pulled his arm: "Cheap hot pot! Old wharf on Minzhu Road, let's go?"

Yang Yege's eyes were still red, and he was caught off guard by her, startled, Xu Ziyan stared at her hand, his face was not very good.

Xue Cong was good at reading air, so he stopped him immediately: "Cai Ling, Yege must be tired today, let him rest early, if you want to eat, I'll invite you to go."

Cai Ling thought: "That's right, then you should go to bed early and sleep well." Then she took two gift boxes from Xue Cong and stuffed them to Yang Yege: "This is from Brother Xue and I. Happy birthday, let's eat hot pot next time, don't be shy."

"Okay," Yang Yege took it, and glanced at Xue Cong who was a little far away: "Brother Xue, thank you."

Xue Cong smiled and raised his hand, made a six and put it next to his ear, and mouthed, "Call me if I have something to do."

Yang Yege smiled and nodded, his eye circles were still red, and he could tell he had cried.

Xu Ziyan watched the two walk away slowly, then turned to Yang Yege and asked, "Do you know Xue Cong?"

"I know you," Yang Yege looked at him, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Xu Ziyan said, "It's been a long time since I saw him act, and I think he's quite low-key."

"He went to graduate school. We are in the same school, and we are still in the same class."

"That's it..." Xu Ziyan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

In fact, alarm bells sounded in my heart.The way Xue Cong looked at Yege, any fool knew that it was liking.

When I got home, I checked my phone and found two unread text messages, both from Xue Cong.

"——Ye Ge, I forgot to tell you that I have already left Cirque du Soleil, and I will not leave after the new year. I plan to take a break and continue acting. I will recommend good resources to you in the future, and I look forward to cooperating."

"--Happy birthday."
