Synopsis
After meeting again ten years ago, he was already a new man in the business world, while he was still a down-and-out painter guarding his old studio. Those unsaid deep feelings finally spread out in the pine smoke and ink. "There is light in your paintings." "And you are my light." Song Qing, a down-and-out painter who maintained a studio in an old alley, spent ten years painting countless paintings of "Rain Alley", but never acknowledged who the blurry figure in the painting was. Lu Yuncheng, the heir to the Lu Group and an upstart in the business world, was calm and self-possessed, but ten years later he returned to the old alley that was about to be demolished and said to him: "I'm back." Ten years ago, they were teenage classmates. He is a poor relative who depends on others, and he is the young master of the Lu family who is admired by all the stars. He blocked the taunts for him, he secretly gave him imported paint, and they were hesitant to talk at the graduation ceremony. Later, the Lu family went bankrupt and Lu Yuncheng went overseas, leaving only a letter: "Wait until I come back." Ten years later, Lu Yuncheng revisited the studio in the name of investment and purchased his paintings at a high price. When he refused, he just smiled: "Then let me rent a corner of your studio, okay?" Song Qing was puzzled. Lu Yuncheng looked at the painting "Rain Lane" on the wall and said softly: "I want to get closer to art." But he didn't know that this "closer" was the approach that Lu Yuncheng had suppressed for ten years, and it was his infatuation that he concealed under his business identity. "Pine smoke ink is the most suitable for freehand brushwork, because its smoky atmosphere makes it seem like you can't help yourself." Song Qing mentioned it casually ten years ago, but Lu Yuncheng remembered it for ten years. When Song Qing found the iron box collected by Lu Yuncheng in the ruins of the Lu family's old house—— It is full of his "lost" paintings, each one showing Lu Yuncheng's profile, back, and meditative outline. "After I leave, will you come often?" His voice was tight. Lu Yuncheng nodded: "Every year I come back, I hide one. This is my treasure." And when at Song Qing's painting exhibition, the media asked who the prototype of "Double Shadows Under the Moon" was - Lu Yuncheng stepped forward and put his arm around his shoulders in front of everyone: "It's me. The people in the painting are me and him." "I, Lu Yuncheng, have loved Song Qing for thirty years and have no regrets." Lu Yuncheng secretly collected Song Qing's paintings for ten years. Every year when he returned to China, he would bury one at his old house; Song Qing never stopped painting Lu Yuncheng, but he only dared to paint his back. After the reunion, Lu Yuncheng approached step by step on the pretext of business cooperation, but Song Qing kept retreating due to low self-esteem; Until a rainstorm night, Lu Yuncheng broke into the studio soaked and threw down a stack of equity transfer documents: "If these external possessions are an obstacle, I will throw them away. I only want you." Concept: Pine smoke ink needs to be burned, beaten, and ground to achieve the deepest ink color—— - Just like their relationship, after ten years of separation and secular tests, it has become stronger.
