There is light in the deep sea

There will be a gap of a few days between the next roadshow and the one in Shanghai.Of course, Xie Wu was basically the only one in the group enjoying this kind of gap period.

Needless to say, Jiang Xichen, on the day he left the theater, Chu Wenjin arranged for him one, two, three, four, five, six such announcements. There were TV programs, commercial shooting, and commercial performances. This time, three people including Jiani came. The assistant followed; the other three young actors in the group were also rising stars, so they had no time to spare.

Therefore, after the media dinner, only Xie Wu, a lonely and frustrated actor in the group, returned to the hotel on time.The room was reserved before the next game, and he was happy to stay in the hotel these few days.The next day, while sending Xiao Fang to play, he asked Jiang Xichen for Xu Lun's script, and then hid.

He remembered that the script had never had a title before.

Now the typescript given to Jiang Xichen has already been named: "Low Temperature".

The story revolves around the misplaced and tangled feelings of a young man named Qin Xiaochuan, who is an ordinary and unique existence in the vast crowd.Ordinary, because he has a common job, the people's teacher; unique, because he is almost split spirit, and the two misplaced feelings based on it.

——On the one hand, he loves his childhood sweetheart's new wife with the spirit and psychology of a normal man.On the other hand, like a young boy in love, he is crazily infatuated with his outstanding male student.

There are four characters in the play, namely Qin Xiaochuan, newlywed wife, male student, and Qin Xiaochuan's doctor.The narration of the story and Qin Xiaochuan's secrets, questions, and self-examination are basically revealed through the dialogue with the doctor.

Xie Wu finished reading the script for the first time, and generally had some understanding and cognition of the four characters.

Except for Qin Xiaochuan, the person who plays the most roles is the doctor. He is the protagonist's outlet, a mirror, and even another protagonist. As a secret obsessive object, the male student is a taboo existence and the protagonist's heart that cannot be revealed. , is also a path to trace his past and its influence; the new wife is like a shadow, a rule imposed by the world but he himself is not willing to follow, so she must exist, but it is as bleak as a shadow.

This is a script full of struggles and questioning. Xie Wu has seen many works with questioning intentions. They all like to use sharp lines to question the world, or try to prick the audience's nerves.But Xu Lun's lines in this play are not sharp, and are similar to his consistent character: independent, but not angry.

What's interesting is that Qin Xiaochuan, a character who clearly reflects his inner thinking, wants Jiang Xichen to play it.

Where did he see the similarities between Jiang Xichen and Qin Xiaochuan?Are they similar?In this regard, Xie Wu has no intuitive experience.

While surprised that Xu Lun saw a different side of Jiang Xichen, he couldn't help but ask himself, did he pay too little attention to Jiang Xichen's possibilities?Although he brought someone into Lanhua all by himself, so far, he has not really observed him carefully, nor has he found a suitable role for him.In fact, it was more or less the mentality of taking him sightseeing, not serious enough.

This is really a waste of that child calling himself master from time to time.

After reading the script of "Low Temperature", Xie Wu couldn't help trying to take another look at Jiang Xichen from behind Qin Xiaochuan.

As soon as I indulge in the script, a day passes.

In the evening, when his stomach was empty, he took out his phone to go out to look for food, and found that there were a lot of WeChat messages and missed calls.One-third of the messages came from Xiaofang, who asked him if he ate or what to eat, and probably saw that he didn't reply, so he made two rounds of phone calls.Other messages and calls basically belong to Jiang Xichen and two friends who are based in Shanghai.

He replied to Xiaofang, "I will solve it myself, you can play at ease", and replied to Jiang Xichen, "Alive", and then called back one of his friends named Lao Heng.There is no other reason - this old Heng has a restaurant in Shanghai.

The phone rang a few times, and Lao Heng answered the phone, and he greeted his heart directly: "Your mother, my buddy has been looking for you all day, where have you been? Didn't you read the circle of friends saying that you are doing activities here?"

Xie Wu hadn't heard anyone greet his Canadian mother for a long time. At first hearing, he felt very cordial. He laughed and explained a few words, and then went straight to the topic: "Is your store convenient? I'll go over to have dinner."

Lao Heng asked, "Are you alone?"

Xie Wu said: "You can find someone else for me!"

Lao Heng let out a "bah", excited in his heart, and stuttered: "You can do it, you can do it! My buddy will go to the battle and serve him in person. Come over at what o'clock, where will you come, do you want to pick it up?"

Xie Wu just picked up his watch, took a look after putting it on, and replied: "No, there is a subway outside my hotel, and I can get there within 10 minutes by subway."

Lao Heng was shocked: "You still take the subway? Didn't the old paragraph say that you are popular?"

"If you become popular, you can't take public transportation?" While talking, Xie Wu rummaged through the suitcase and found a Shanghai transportation card from a crack. He was very proud and showed off over there.

Lao Heng only said: "It's fine if you're happy, the boss has become a celebrity, let's go to the addiction of being recognized by a chance encounter!"

Xie Wu hung up the phone, put a hat on his head and went out.

In the end, the transportation card was never used.The card has not been used for more than two years, and it has expired and been frozen, so I had to buy a one-way ticket.And just as Lao Heng wished, he was really recognized and contributed a wave of subway photos.

Finally arrived at the destination, it took four to 10 minutes, and all the dishes were served.

This friend named Lao Heng, as his name suggests, is a rather tyrannical person.She was in the same class as Xie Wu and Duan Rong, but she was three years older than them.Once, he was a well-known "art pilgrim" in the whole class, and even in that class. From the age of 21, he even took the exam for the Department of Drama Academy for several years, but he failed the exam because of his poor appearance and stuttering.In the last year, their benefactor Yan Ruichi personally put out the questions to test him, and personally defended him and accepted him.

It is such a person who once worked hard for his acting career, but he did not embark on the road of acting after all.I made two documentaries a few years ago, but now I don’t even make documentaries. I have become the most disdainful businessman in the past, opening restaurants and bars.There is naturally sadness behind such changes, but those are not enough for outsiders.

After starting a business, he also looks like a businessman.Friends from the art world in the past have become the signs of his restaurant, no matter who comes, famous or not, he has to take a photo in front of his showy gate.

As soon as Xie Wu arrived, he dragged him outside the gate without taking off his hat.The two stood shoulder to shoulder, facing the camera in the hands of the waitress girl, "Eggplant" smiled and said yes.

The old man told the waitress girl: "Fix it to make it look better. The main thing is to give it to us. Thank you teacher for repairing it. Post it on Weibo at eight o'clock!"

The little girl hurriedly said yes, and looked past him again, looking at Xie Wu expectantly: "Mr. Xie, I like you very much, can you sign me?"

Xie Wu nodded: "Okay."

The little girl hurried back to the front desk, and after a while, she took a notebook and ran directly to the box to ask for an autograph.

There were only Xie Wu and Lao Heng in the box, and Lao Heng was still on the phone, wanting to call more people to have fun.Seeing that the boss was busy, the little girl boldly dawdled for a while.

After Xie Wu finished signing, seeing that she was reluctant to leave, he asked with a smile, "Why don't I write you another word of blessing?"

"No, no, no, but..." the little girl shook her lips, and tentatively blushed, "Mr. Xie, can you sign Jiang Xichen's name before or after your name? "

Xie Wu: "..."

Seeing his doubtful expression, the little girl hurriedly explained: "I'm not a fake 'Wutong'! I'm, that...You guys are very popular recently, I'm so in love with you.”

"Oh—understood." Xie Wu nodded clearly, and while saying "no problem", wrote "Jiang Xichen" after his name as required.After finishing writing, I looked at the screen and felt a little empty, so I drew a small cat face pattern between the two names.

"is this OK?"

The little girl was ecstatic, nodded repeatedly, and ran away before her boss finished calling.

Lao Heng hung up the phone line, sat back at the table, and reported the dinner appointment: "The two of you can come. What kind of popularity do you think you have? When they heard that you were here for dinner, they said they were busy and couldn't make it .Usually the old duan comes over, hey, those are all gangsters present!"

As soon as the admiring fans left, Xie Wu immediately moved his chopsticks, and answered the question nonchalantly: "How can we poor working people compare with you rich men?"

Lao Heng was not in a hurry to eat, but instead asked: "Aren't you here with Jiang Xichen for the activity this time?"

Xie Wu: "Yes."

Lao Heng: "You ask him to come over for a meal some other day, I'll treat you!"

"Hehe." Xie Wu smiled, "You can't afford his appearance fee, so don't keep thinking about not spending money on advertising. Your store is only so big, and the current operating conditions are fine, no matter how high the turnover rate is. Go on, don't say that your back kitchen can't keep up with the production speed, and the place is not big enough!"

Lao Heng said: "You don't have to worry about it. When people get up, I will naturally have a way to improve our business capabilities. Sigh, do you agree to invite him to come?"

Xie Wu smiled, just ate, not talking.

Lao Heng looked at him, remained silent for a while, then leaned over and asked mysteriously in a low voice, "Are you and that kid okay?"

Xie Wu glanced at him: "I didn't see it, why did your hobbies become like those little girls on the Internet?"

"You can't fool me." Lao Heng backed away, the mystery on his face turned into unfathomable, "The obscenity of the little girls on the Internet is to have a richer imagination, I am different, let me take a look, it is really good See the problem."

Xie Wu looked indifferent: "All ears."

The old Heng said: "I've watched the AB interview you guys had together. In that show, that kid looked at you very wrongly. Although I'm not in the same league as you, I see people—how accurate are you?" Ah! You know that."

After hearing this, Xie Wu's expression remained the same, he still didn't speak, just ate a few mouthfuls of food in silence.

Lao Heng also remained silent, and after a while, he seemed to be convinced that his vision was right, and began to follow the temptation one after another.He talked about the difficulties and grievances he had in piously engaged in art in the past, and he couldn't hold it back once he talked about it, and he was full of complaints; but Xie Wu never responded, so he changed the subject, talking about his business in the past few years, talking about how difficult it is to survive... Finally , sadly lamented that he was sorry for his teacher Yan Ruichi.

Xie Wu finally caught him and stopped for a moment, then put down his chopsticks and stood up: "How much is this meal, I will go out and pay."

Hearing this, Lao Heng was stunned: "You, what are you doing?"

Xie Wu: "You can't eat a meal for nothing, brother. One thing is another thing. I will definitely pay for the meal. Fudge Xiao Jiang to come to advertise for you. I promise not to come. There are others. rule."

Lao Heng widened his eyes: "It's just such a small matter, based on the two of you... well, you, I don't see it clearly, based on his thoughts on you, would he still be willing to come out for a meal with you? "

While talking, seeing Xie Wu's determination to go, he stood up anxiously.While stopping him from leaving, he growled and uttered even more disrespectfully: "I've seen a lot of kids like him, what's his ability? What did he do for the sake of being popular? He's staring at you now, don't you?" How much reciprocity and mutual benefit, what a waste?"

"Old Heng." Xie Wu put on his hat, turned around, and looked at this old friend calmly, with a flat but serious tone.

"No one goes smoothly on the road of art. You were forced to give up. We are all sorry and think that there is something wrong with this society. But you see, our brothers have their own conditions. Each has its own flaws. I have done what I want to do, and those who don’t want to waste it. For example, the old Duan, it’s cool to go the other way, isn’t it? Can you let yourself go at any time, Don't screw yourself like that? And-"

Xie Wu sighed, and his attitude became more serious: "Don't talk nonsense about the relationship between me and Xiao Jiang, we have nothing to do. Let me help you, let's have a meal, if he wants to come, he will come, that's no problem. But if you think about us dirty and use us, then I really don't want to say this for you, don't insult us."

After speaking, he turned around and pushed the door out of the box.
