I support you for a lifetime

The premiere of “The Legend of Wang Xuance” was held with great grandeur. When Lu Yan entered the scene, he was dressed in an ancient costume, which was the same look he wore during the scene of annihilation of the country in the play. Although he was wearing the clothes of a civilian envoy, Lu Yan was still wearing the heroic appearance of a military general. His expression was exactly the same as that on the large poster on the stage. It was as if time had gone back and history had been reversed, he looked like Wang Xuance had come in person. If it weren’t for the restriction of the venue, Chen Li would have liked to let him enter on horseback. Even if this was the case, it was already amazing enough!

After a second of silence, the audience burst into applause like a tsunami. The fans’ calls were a bit chaotic at first, with “Lu Yan” and “Wang Xuance” appearing alternately, but later they all uniformly called “Wang Xuance”.

The atmosphere at the premiere remained high. Later, the host asked director Chen Li why he thought of making such a movie.

Director Chen Li said, “I have always been interested in the five thousand years of history, especially those heroes. In fact, the Chinese nation has never lacked heroes, and there have always been many works about various heroes in film and television. But Wang Xuance is a very special person. He obviously has such great achievements, but not many people know about him. First of all, the Tang Dynasty was an era where heroes emerged in large numbers, and there were too many celebrities. Secondly, his deeds are mainly abroad, and there are almost no records in official history. In any era, a hero’s fame depends on publicity. Wang Xuance’s deeds did not have publicity channels, so they were not widely spread. I made this movie because I want more people to know about this character and that period of history. “

“So why did Mr. Lu Yan take this movie? Are you also very interested in this character?” The host turned the question to Lu Yan.

Lu Yan smiled frankly, “I didn’t even notice what kind of movie it was at the time. I only knew that the director was Chen Li, which was enough to drive me to fight for this role desperately. But then I got the role and after getting to know it carefully, I felt honored to play such a heroic character. “

Lu Yan’s words seemed to be frank, but in fact he quietly praised Chen Li. Given Chen Li’s status in the film industry today, there was certainly no shortage of complimentary words, but such indestructible praise was always very useful.

So when the host asked Chen Li whether Lu Yan’s interpretation of the male protagonist was in line with his image of Wang Xuance, Chen Li deliberately frowned, “Everything else is very good. There is only one difference. I think the real Wang Xuance is not so handsome.”

The premiere ended with a burst of knowing laughter.

After the movie viewing started, Lu Yan had already changed back into his suit. Taking advantage of the time to change clothes, he avoided entering the venue with other creators, and instead found the place he had agreed with someone in the dark. This was not the first time they had done something like this. They enjoyed it every time, and there was a sense of excitement and pleasure like a public affair.

Not that they were daring. Even if most people saw them coming and going together, they wouldn’t think of that. After all, Lu Yan was once a contracted artist of Starry sky, and his current studio was also named under Starry sky. Su Mo, as the boss behind Starry sky and its artist, attended the same occasion. It was not something that was incomprehensible, not to mention that most people didn’t know Su Mo at all, so why would they think too much about it.

On the other hand, even if someone really guessed their relationship, Lu Yan was not afraid. Su Mo himself would not be affected by this news, and Lu Yan had no intention of hiding it forever. Sooner or later, he would make their relationship public, it was only a matter of time.

The biggest impact that coming out publicly has on an artist is nothing more than film contracts and endorsements. In terms of film contracts, Lu Yan was now his own boss, so he didn’t have to worry about being hidden. If no one really asked him to make a film, he would just invest the money himself, which he was already doing. As for the box office, he didn’t worry too much. As long as the movie was good enough, the average audience would not stop watching it because the actor was gay, unless they were extremely anti-gay. The impact of endorsements would be greater, but Lu Yan himself was more focused on film and television, not to mention that not all businesses would mind this.

There will definitely be an impact, but as the old saying goes, if you want to gain something, you have to give something. If you don’t want to be secretive, you have to accept the judgment of the world. Besides, even if you are a heterosexual, you will still have to bear the price of losing some fans if you disclose your love and marriage news.

Lu Yan had already thought about it carefully, so he didn’t care if he would be discovered in advance. Of course, it would be better if he could be exposed step by step according to his own plan. Fortunately, everything had gone as planned so far.

The movie continued to play. The battlefield scenes were shot in a particularly thrilling and thrilling way. Wang Xuance used the “Fire Bull Formation” to defeat tens of thousands of troops in one battle. The subsequent siege battles and position battles were all very exciting. Wang Xuance was galloping on horseback, and the figure leading the charge was particularly handsome and heart-warming.

The movie came to an end with the last few wedding scenes. Lu Yan quietly used the dim light of the screen to look at Su Mo’s expression. The other person’s face was calm, as if he was not affected at all, but the fingers that were resting on the side of the chair quietly curled up.

Lu Yan smiled secretly, leaned over and whispered in his ear, “I think you looked the best that day.”

Su Mo didn’t understand at first, and looked over with a little doubt in his dark eyes. Lu Yan smiled again and whispered,  “When will we wear that suit again? You were particularly sensitive when you were wearing that suit.” As Lu Yan spoke, he quietly scratched the back of his hand that was resting on the side of the chair with his nails.

A flash of electricity passed by, and Su Mo understood instantly. The scene of that night appeared in his mind uncontrollably. His eyes blinked several times quickly involuntarily, and his breathing became a little faster.

Before he could calm down, the credits were already playing on the screen and the lights in the screening room turned on. Su Mo quickly lowered his head, and the red ears were exposed to Lu Yan’s sight, which made him feel itchy and wanted to take a bite right away.

After finally being able to endure it until there was no one around, Lu Yan pressed down on Su Mo, he bit and sucked on his ear for a long time, until it was hard enough. Su Mo endured the numb and itchy feeling, and waited until Lu Yan let go before whispering with a half-smile, “Were you deliberately diverting my attention just now?”

Lu Yan touched his nose and muttered, “I can’t hide it from you.”

Su Mo glared at him, feeling warm and sweet in his heart, and sighed, “You! Am I such a petty person?”

Lu Yan smiled and said, “It’s not that you are petty, it’s that I’m overthinking. But, I’m serious, you look best in wedding clothes. It was just the two of us last time, it was such a waste. I hope we will have a chance to host a true Chinese wedding.”

Su Mo smiled and said, “Mr. Lu is not afraid of being banned.”

“Well,” Lu Yan said deliberately in a low voice, “If I am banned, will Director Su support me?”

“I will support you for a lifetime!” Su Mo responded with a low smile.

“For a lifetime? Then in the next life, and the next life, won’t you support me?” Lu Yan pushed further.

Su Mo smiled brightly and lowered his voice very low, “As long as you are willing, I will support you forever and ever.”

Lu Yan’s eyes were filled with warmth. He pressed his forehead against his, rubbed the tip of his nose against his, and whispered, “Then we made a promise, and you are not allowed to break your promise.”

“Never!”

There was a cocktail party after the premiere. Lu Yan had no excuses this time, and there would be more people attending this time, so Su Mo also went with him as the boss of Starry Sky.

In order not to attract attention, Lu Yan and Su Mo went in separately. After entering the reception, they did not have too much contact.

This was originally a cocktail party held for the premiere of the movie. As the protagonist, Lu Yan had recently been interviewed by various reports and magazine covers. He was in the limelight and was naturally the focus of the cocktail party. He was surrounded almost as soon as he entered the door. Lu Yan had long been accustomed to such occasions, and he could handle all kinds of people with ease. Even if Su Jue was not there to help him out, he could easily deal with the women who surround him.

On the other hand, Su Mo, although he was also handsome, had always kept a low profile and not many people knew him. In addition, he seemed to keep away from strangers, except for a few people who really knew him. no one else bothered him.

Chen Li was also one of the people who knew Su Mo. He was a little surprised to see him coming at first, because in his impression, Su Mo didn’t like to attend such occasions, especially when he left all the affairs of the starry sky to Su Jue. After that, he rarely showed up.

“Director Su, it’s really rare to see you here.” Chen Li greeted him.

“Director Chen, congratulations on another movie’s box office success.” Su Mo said politely.

Chen Li smiled and said, “Today is the premiere. It’s still too early to say a big victory.”

“Knowing the smallest details and having such a successful premiere, Director Chen’s film will definitely hit new heights.”

“I appreciate your words. Director Su’s vision is well-known in the industry. If you were still in charge of the starry sky, I’m afraid you would be the only one in the industry now.”

“Excellent.”

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Chen Li excused himself and went to greet other acquaintances.

Su Mo didn’t want to deal with other people, so he found an inconspicuous corner to stay and quietly looked at Lu Yan, who seemed to be shining brightly in the crowd. Even just looking at it from a distance like this, he felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart.

It was incredible. Su Mo could still recall the scene when he first met Lu Yan at the closing reception of the movie directed by Li Ran. At that time, every sentence of their conversation and every movement and expression of the other party were vividly remembered.  He still remembered what he thought after being rejected, forget it, don’t force it. Fortunately, fortunately, it didn’t end like that between them. Now, they were the two closest people in the world, and they would have an endless future to look forward to.

As if he sensed his gaze, Lu Yan would glance over here from time to time, with affectionate expressions on his face and a slight smile. Su Mo also responded to his smile. During the lively and noisy cocktail party, they didn’t get close to each other, and they didn’t say a word to each other, but this secret affection and surge continued, and they could sense each other’s feelings with just a look or a smile. It was as if all the people and things at the reception had become the background, and only each other in their eyes truly existed. Was there anything more wonderful than this in the world? They were not only in love, but also connected.

Until the reception was over, the two of them left one after another.

When he got back to the car, Lu Yan was already tipsy. He had drunk a lot. Su Mo didn’t drink at all. At times like this, he was usually the one driving.

Lu Yan closed his eyes slightly and leaned back on the chair. Su Mo stretched out his hand and rubbed his temples. After he felt more comfortable, he started the car and said, “The Chinese New Year is almost here. Let’s go back to our old house together on New Year’s Eve.”

“Yeah, okay.” Lu Yan responded softly.
