The hot pot restaurant is filled with spicy and delicious gas, and everyone's eyes are a little blurred through the mist on the pot.

The leader drank beer until his eyes went straight.He was a little depressed. The response to the fourth scene of "Murder" was not good. The audience was quite full at the beginning, but they left the seats in a large number in the middle.

"Qiu, don't play this, change the show!" The tall and strong actor who played the beast suggested after taking a sip of wine, "How about playing "Confinement"?"

The actor playing Qingcao glared at him: "Blind suggestion, these uneducated "Kill" can't understand, do you think existentialism is better than modern poetic drama?"

Cai Ling, who played the role of the witch, stopped shoveling food into her mouth, and took a look at the beast: "I think, why don't we just play "Inner Space"? Don't the audience just want to watch something interesting?"

Qingcao waved her hand: "That setting is too similar to "Fatal ID". Let me tell you, domestic audiences can't tell the difference between a homage and plagiarism, so don't be scolded properly."

The lunatic leader glanced at Yang Yege who had been silent all this time, and said, "Yege, what do you think?"

Yang Yege sighed: "There is no solution."

The leader's eyes were a little red, and he put down the beer can with a click, and picked up the chopsticks: "Stop talking, we have dinner, and there is one more show. After the show, go straight north."

Yang Yege took a spoonful of food and put it in his bowl: "With all due respect, if you go to Beijing to perform, the effect may not be better than that of Qianchuan."

The mature and stable lunatic leader nodded: "It's true, impetuousness is the problem of a generation. It's the same everywhere. To be honest, the young people in Qianchuan are relatively better. After all, the degree of openness is here, and art is not for nothing. , high cultural literacy, generally accepting new things faster, other places... I guess it will only be more impetuous."

The beast and the gypsy had already started punching and drinking, and Cai Ling continued to eat beef with blank eyes, and no one listened to him.

The lunatic sighed: "Look, impetuous."

Yang Yege raised his hand: "I have an idea."

The people around looked at him blankly.

"Since they all came to see Cai Ling, let Cai Ling play the heroine, maybe the effect will be better."

Sitting across from Yang Yege, the actress who played the role of heroine Hong thumped in her heart. Feeling that her status was not guaranteed, she immediately turned her head to look at the head of the group.

Before the group leader could speak, Cai Ling was reluctant: "NO! I'm going to play a witch, I'm going to wear a wizard's robe, I don't wear a hemp skirt, it's not cool at all, it goes against my aloof personality!"

The head of the group pondered for a while, then spread his hands and said, "It's fine if you don't want to. In fact, this can't change anything, can it?"

Yang Yege nodded, and looked at the actress opposite, who bowed her head in silence, with a slightly sullen expression.

At that moment, Yang Yege was certain that this woman must be having an affair with the leader.What is her name?

And... did I say something wrong?

After discussing for a long time, there was no result. After eating spicy food and drinking tea, when Yang Yege walked out of the hot pot restaurant, the bleak autumn wind blew in his face, and he suddenly felt that life was boring.

Strange circles, strange circles full of titles and tails, can't get out no matter what.

After taking a taxi back to Langui Garden, Yang Yege was not in a hurry to enter the house, and walked slowly in the community wearing a coat.

Langui Garden is a real estate owned by Greentown. The greenery is very good, the air is fresh, and all kinds of vegetation are criss-crossed. Almost half of the plants are unknown to him.In early autumn, the leaves have not yet fallen, and the pines and cypresses are evergreen, and there are dark ghosts at night.

Yang Yege stood under the tree and took a deep breath, slowly exhaling the stale air in his chest.

He looked up at the slightly swaying black tree crown, moved his cherry lips, and said a passage in a tone of lines: "I came from a far away place, looking for a person, no, maybe two people, maybe, I I have to go to another farther place, and no one has asked me, and if I have asked, no one has ever answered."

This is the first line of the male protagonist Bao Jian in "Killing". He has read it countless times during rehearsals, but he feels that it doesn't make any sense when he reads it at this time.It was too quiet around, he was not used to it.

A little farther away, a slightly deep voice suddenly sounded——

"You came at the wrong time, you really did come to the wrong place. Avoid this place, avoid this time..."

This sentence is the line of the lunatic leader. The other party doesn't seem to remember the whole sentence, but only picks out what he remembers. The owner of the voice should be a very young man, and the sentence he uttered is not very cadenced.Yang Yege followed the prestige, and only saw an orange dot that was bright and sometimes dark seven or eight meters away.

Came out to smoke... he thought.This guy is a bit interesting, would a normal person pick up an unknown person's words in the middle of the night?

He didn't want to go, and he didn't want the other party to come.He smiled, and casually said a sentence in the next paragraph: "I don't really care whether I find pain or happiness, as long as I find the person I'm looking for."

The other party smiled softly in the night, he couldn't see it, but he could feel it.The voice said with a smile: "My child, may your wishes come true."

After finishing speaking, the two had nothing more to say and remained silent for several minutes. The other party stubbed out the cigarette butt, turned and left.

A few days later, the heat of the dating affair gradually faded, Cirque du Soleil finished its fifth performance, and went to Beijing for a few more performances as usual.Yang Yege packed his luggage and followed the team to the airport, but someone came to him suddenly.

A woman, wearing a bean paste-colored suit and skirt, with her long curly hair brushed to one side of her face, and wearing big brown sunglasses, rushed into the departure hall and gave Yang Yege a big slap in the face.

Yang Yege was stunned by her beating, her ears were buzzing, and before she had time to attack, the woman had already been rushed up and held down by the beast, and Cai Ling also jumped up and shouted: "What are you doing? Beating people, right? ? Security—come here, security—someone is murdering here!"

Several security guards quickly gathered around upon hearing the words. The woman in the suit was twisted by the beast and shouted hysterically: "Let go of me—rascal! Let me go—"

Yang Yege shook his head, a little dizzy, but he didn't suffer from it: "People who rush up without saying a word and beat people have the nerve to call others hooligans?"

The woman in the suit stared at him angrily, her hair was messed up, and she yelled indistinctly: "You bitch! What did you do to my brother? He's still lying in the hospital! Bitch GAY What's wrong with just hitting you?"

Yang Yege was confused by the scolding, and was still thinking about who his younger brother was. For no reason, when he looked up again, he found that the expressions of the crowd of onlookers had changed when they looked at him.

What did this woman just swear at?Cheap GAY, right?No wonder.

Yang Yege rolled his eyes: "Who told you that I killed your brother? I don't think I know him."

The woman froze for a moment, then subconsciously looked in one direction, Yang Yege followed her, and in the corner stood Hong, the heroine of Cirque du Soleil.Yang Yege suddenly remembered her name, Su Yiting.

Su Yiting winked at the girl in the suit, and the woman became righteous again, and rushed up to grab Yang Yege's collar, but the latter dodged wittily, gritted her teeth and said bitterly, "My brother is winning streak!"

"Oh," Yang Yege understood: "Is the one who met me in the name of Mr. Xu? What's wrong with him?"

When the woman heard Mr. Xu's name, she froze for a moment, then became even more angry, took a few deep breaths, and said righteously: "My brother has a heart attack! He was sent to the hospital because of you and Chen Gong! You How dare you mention Mr. Xu? Do you think he is your backer? Let me tell you Mr. Xu is my cousin of Lian Sheng!"

Yang Yege's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't expected such an operation at all. How should he answer the conversation at this time?

Cai Ling stood up with her arms folded. She spoke quickly but pronounced the words clearly and standard pronunciation, and her tone was a little contemptuous, as if she was telling everyone: "I'll go, big sister, please be reasonable, your brother pretended to be Yege Netizens met him and wanted to pick him up, but when they didn't, they became angry and wanted to ruin his future, but all the bad things failed and he had a heart attack. Who can be blamed? Who are you calling cheap GAY? Your brother is the cheap GAY, okay? ? You are the sister of a cheap GAY! Don't be ashamed!"

The girl in the suit was first called "big sister" by her peers. She was already annoyed, and she was classified as a "slut gay sister". She became even more annoyed, pointing at Cai Ling and scolding: "You...what did you say? Say it again? No Well-educated little girl!"

Cai Ling stood still, gave a mocking "heh", slapped her hands twice, and said loudly: "Look, everyone, this woman came to the airport to beat and scold the person who was bullied by her brother. I just clarified In fact, she instead scolded me for being uneducated, can you judge me? Who is uneducated?"

The crowd of onlookers started pointing and pointing. The girl in the suit felt the pressure of public opinion, straightened her hair, straightened her clothes, gave Cai Ling a look, then turned to Yang Yege, nodded and said, "Yang Yege, I remember you, You wait for me!"

Yang Yege touched his right cheek which was still hot, and said with a light smile, "You wait for me too, this matter is never over!"

At this time, the head of the group who went out to buy water and the head of the madman came back slowly. After hearing the whole thing, the head of the group fell silent for some reason. The head of the madman patted Cai Ling on the shoulder with approval, and then said Eyes comforting Yang Yege, Yang Yege gave him a relaxed smile and said, "It's okay."

All the way on the plane was silent, the leader sat far away alone, the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

After arriving in Beijing, the head of the troupe temporarily decided to terminate the tour of "Kill" and switch to the modern drama "Space in the Brain".The performance difficulty and stage art of this play are much easier than "Kill", and they have performed many times in Europe, so they don't need to rehearse hard.As soon as the notice came out, the whole group breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Yiting still plays the heroine as before, Cai Ling still plays the role of a murderous clown, she is very excited, the leader plays the protagonist K?D, Yang Yege is assigned the role of an old man with a pipe, and there are not many scenes.

After rehearsing all afternoon, everyone felt that it was all right. Before leaving, the group leader patted Yang Yege on the back, hesitating to speak.

Yang Yege didn't understand what he wanted to express, so he blinked and went back to the room.

The first performance of the next day was quite successful, at least no audience left the stage, and the applause at the curtain call was very warm.

Yang Yege came out of the shower, wiped his hair, and heard the phone vibrate under the pillow.

It was Cai Ling calling.

"Ye Ge, is it convenient for you to talk now?" Cai Ling was very quiet, and her words reverberated a little, probably in the bathroom or something.

"Well, it's convenient, what can I do?"

He and Cai Ling were not very close, nor could they be regarded as close friends. He was a little confused about what the other party was going to say when they called him at this time.

"We..." Cai Ling was a little hesitant, but after a while, she finally said, "We went out for dinner with the head of the group, and the head of the group said that we won't take you."

"Oh," Yang Yege smiled, "Didn't I twist my foot last time? I need to rest more, he understands."

"Ye Ge!" Cai Ling's voice suddenly became serious: "Do you really not understand what I'm talking about?"

Yang Yege was a little dazed: "What's wrong?"

"The head of the group has already separated from you. It's Su Yiting's fault! She has disliked you for a long time before. You should know that some people are like this. If they are not capable, they don't work hard, but they are always jealous of people who are better than themselves. What? It's all other people's fault, Su Yiting is this kind of person! One word: Bitch! That woman at the airport yesterday was hired by her to beat you! Do you believe it or not?"

Yang Yege fell into a dream, and murmured, "It's... her?"

"Sure, I've seen her winking at that woman. Su Yiting has been prejudiced against you for a long time, as well as me. She was dissatisfied with my witch still photo on the poster of our group from the beginning, and even quarreled with the production manager. And she doesn't like to play opposite you, her acting skills are not good, she will be timid when she plays against you, and her dancing skills are even worse, so she only wants to be popular, because red is not only a heroine, but also a dancer The least. Yege, you can do everything the best, but you don’t want to understand these worldly things. Su Yiting climbed into the head’s bed in order to improve her reputation in China, so she has been the heroine during the tour. "Inner Space" also plays the heroine, last time you twisted your foot, the leader of the fourth scene wanted to take care of you, let you play a popular role, she hated you, thinking you stole her role, and even with the group Playing as a couple for a long time... Then you asked me to play the role that night, so she must be gnashing at you even more?" Cai Ling's voice was a little excited: "Yege, I tell you this because I really admire you and appreciate you. I don't want to see such an excellent person like you affected by these nasty things. Su Yiting just attacked you, and you have time to leave now. If you don't leave, she will definitely kill you one after another! I have to go, I don’t want to stay in this dirty quagmire and be angry with her. Yes, our troupe was originally started by a group of fellows for pure art, and the name of the troupe still has the word “experiment”, but from the day it started to make money Since then, the nature has changed. After Su Yiting joined, it has become a mess. I have seen it through, and I don’t want to stay here anymore. Let’s go together. Didn’t you find that after changing the repertoire, your role has been reduced a lot? It’s the group He is always targeting you, he is already in the same family as Su Yiting, and Cirque du Soleil is his one word, Ye Ge!"

Yang Yege didn't make a sound for a long time. He looked at the moon outside the window and thought to himself, it's been a long time since he went back to see his father.

Cai Ling seemed to say that she was tired, cleared her throat, and sighed: "Ye Ge, for outstanding talents like us, do you still have to worry about having nothing to eat after leaving here? They are all looking for us for work, we can change to a better troupe, Right? Anyway, we both graduated and got our master's degree."

Yang Yege took a sip of water and said quietly, "Cai Ling, thank you for telling me this."

Cai Ling nodded over there: "Just listen to it, Yege, think about it, if you want to leave, we will go together."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Yege felt as if a ball of cotton wool was stuck in his heart.

Have you been murdering a villain recently?This happened one after another.

Are you going?

He took the absorbent towel off his head and looked at the moon silently.

It is certain to go, it is only a matter of time to consider.

At 10:30, there was a knock on the door of the room.Yang Yege put out the cigarette butt in his hand, got up and went to open the door.

Standing outside was Xue Cong, the deputy leader, who was also the actor who played the lunatic leader mentioned earlier.

"Going out for dinner, I thought you might not have dinner, so I packed one for you." Xue Cong held up a lunch box.

Yang Yege invited him in. The single room in the hotel was a bit cramped. Xue Cong looked around, dragged a chair to the side of the bed, and sat on it.

Every time he performs in a different place, Yang Yege can be taken care of and live in a single room. This is the benefit of coming out of the closet. It is not convenient to live with a man or a woman.

Yang Yege opened the lunch box in front of him, and found that it was his favorite short ribs in plum sauce and Yangzhou fried rice, so he broke open his chopsticks and started eating.Xue Cong looked at him tenderly, and waited until he was almost finished eating before asking, "Did Cai Ling call you?"

Yang Yege was taken aback for a moment, and raised his eyes to look at him.

Xue Cong couldn't stand his eyes the most, and lowered his head and said, "I was in the box and heard her making a loud phone call next door. The door of the box was open at the time, and the team leader and Su Yiting probably heard it too."

Yang Yege suddenly laughed: "In that case, everyone should have heard everything."

Xue Cong sighed: "Oh, it's all my fault. I know she wants to leave. If I had talked to her earlier, maybe I wouldn't..."

Yang Yege interrupted him: "I don't blame you, brother Xue, you are very good to us."

Xue Cong looked a little discouraged, and he clenched his hand into a fist and coughed: "It's because I didn't do my job well. I know she has been emotional recently, but I didn't expect...she would use this method. This way Come on, even if you want to stay, it's unlikely. This girl is too impulsive, and she doesn't think about what to do if you don't plan to go."

"She understands me, and I don't want to stay."

Xue Cong's eyes darkened for a moment, and then he showed such an expression: "Really?"

"When something like this happened, would I stay here and be bullied with my character? Brother Xue, you also know me."

Xue Cong clenched his fists tightly, and after a few seconds, he slowly let go, and said calmly, "You stay, and I will protect you. Su Yiting will be fired tomorrow, and I, the deputy head, still have the right to do so." of."

Yang Yege keenly sensed that something was wrong, put down the lunch box, and sat a little further away from Xue Cong.

"In that case," he said quietly, "then what is the difference between what Su Yiting and I do?"

Xue Cong was struck by five thunderbolts for a moment, his breathing became short of breath, his eye circles were a little red, and after calming down for a long time, he lowered his head and asked, "You know everything?"

Yang Yege felt that he should smile at this time, but he couldn't smile no matter what.Xue Cong likes him, how could he not know?Probably the only one in the whole group, Cai Ling, who was so nervous, didn't see it.

Therefore, he cannot accept this kind of special care.

Xue Cong came to graduate school after acting in domestic dramas for seven or eight years. He graduated in the same class as Yang Yege and Cai Ling this year, but he is actually 33 years old.Xue Cong is kind, hard-working, and well-known in China as a capable actor.He is also one of the founders of Cirque du Soleil, and his family and the director's family are family friends.Yang Yege could tell that this troupe was very important to Xue Cong, and because of this, he couldn't convince himself to ruin it.

Yes, someone is already ruining it, how can I join in?There was nothing I could do but pull away.I don't want to ruin what you hold dear.

Brother Xue, I'm sorry.

Yang Yege silently pulled the hem of the nightgown neatly, and sat down on the side of the bed.

Xue Cong gradually calmed down, thought about the wording for a long time, and felt safe, before speaking: "Ye Ge, I'm sorry I haven't told you all this time, yes, I like you, but I didn't say it, not because I wanted to be a friend My identity hangs on you, it's... because I feel a little inferior, and I think you might look down on me. I'm sorry..."

Hearing the other party's belated confession, Yang Yege finally felt more at ease.He sat a little closer to Xue Cong and said, "Brother Xue, thank you for taking care of me like this. You are very good, so don't feel inferior. It's just that I already have someone I like, so... I can't promise you."

Xue Cong was a little disappointed, but he was also prepared to be disappointed. He nodded and laughed at himself: "That's right..."

He got up to leave, and before leaving, he smiled wryly and said, "Yege, although it's a bit cheap to say that, but... I'm really jealous, the person you like."

Yang Yege looked at the door panel in a daze.He found that when he said the words "I already have someone I like", what came to mind was not Chen Gong's face.

He suddenly felt a little inexplicable panic.

Five days later, Yang Yege and Cai Ling officially left Cirque du Soleil to go solo.

Xue Cong escorted them to the airport with a few main creators. The team leader and Su Yiting didn't come, but when they left, they didn't look well, and they probably had a quarrel.

Cai Ling stretched out her head to glance at Yang Yege's ticket, and immediately jumped up: "Damn! You're not going back to Qianchuan's lair? Why are you going to Italy?"

Yang Ye sang expressionlessly: "Film Festival."

Cai Ling: "Venice?"

Yang Yege: "Well, a movie has been shortlisted, and I received an invitation letter from the organizing committee the day before yesterday."

Cai Ling: "..." She suddenly realized after a while: "Damn it, is that the movie where you disappeared for two months this spring and said it was to save lives?"

Yang Yege nodded: "The Executioner."

Cai Ling: "What are you shortlisted for? Why did you invite you to...uh...ha???"

Yang Yege put the ticket in his pocket and said with dark circles under his eyes: "Actually, I'm really tired. I just want to fly home and sleep with my head covered for three days and three nights...but it seems impolite not to go. My dad will call me." kill me."

Cai Ling hugged him: "Brother! You are my own brother! Can you not go? You have been shortlisted for Best Actor in Venice!! I will be with you from now on, Big Brother—"

The plane catchers around cast them crazy looks.

Yang Yege had no expression on his face: "It's just being shortlisted, whether I can win the prize is another matter."

Cai Ling: "It's already amazing to be shortlisted, okay? How dare you say you're not happy? Don't you dare not go! I'll screw your head off right now, believe it or not?"

Yang Yege murmured, "I'm happy if I'm happy, but I'm really tired. I'll sleep when I get on the plane. Are you going? If you are going, change your ticket quickly and be my girlfriend on the red carpet."

Cai Ling cried with her head in her arms: "No! Yes! Skirt! Kiss! Ahhhhh—forget it, I'd better go home."
