There is an artificial lake behind the mountain, which is shaped like a wine bag.

The lake is full of light purple water lilies, extending from the belly of the wine bag to the neck, passing through a bluestone arch, and opening into the courtyard.

The driver said, "Brother Xiaoming, we're here."

Chi Ming got out of the car and ran through the customer's background introduction in his mind - this lady's husband's family name is Dong, and the husband and wife are in business together. They started from scratch at the textbook level and turned a roadside food stall into a listed company all the way. It is well-known overseas.

When we met, the 83-year-old Ms. Dong was wearing a lotus-colored Hanfu with no extra decorations on her body, except for a newly picked daisy pinned to her chest. The hairpin is tied into a simple bun.

Chi Ming: "Sorry, I'm late."

Ms. Dong: "I don't blame you. This place is hard to find. I often get lost myself. It's hard work for you to come to see me in such hot weather. Don't be too restrained. Let's go in and have a cup of tea."

Making tea, admiring flowers, and chatting, two hours passed before I knew it.

Obviously, these are social activities for the elderly, but Chi Ming feels very comfortable.

No wonder he has so many middle-aged and elderly audiences. Could it be that he is actually an old man at heart?

However, Ms. Dong specially called him over, so it's not just for drinking tea and chatting, is it?

Calculate the time, if the front is just foreshadowing, then it is almost time to enter the topic.

Sure enough, the two sat by the water lily pond in the backyard for a while, and Ms. Dong's conversation changed slightly, and they chatted about the scenes that Chi Ming had filmed.

She asked Chi Ming which one she was most satisfied with. This kind of question was often asked on the show, but in fact there was a standard answer, but Chi Ming didn't want to play tricks with the old man, so to be honest, he was not satisfied.

He always felt that although those exaggerated plots seemed touching and earned a lot of tears, they never really touched people's hearts.

The audience and the actors are like one-night-love, tacit understanding, acting on the spot.

Ms. Dong said: "You have a play, to be precise, there is a plot that touched me very much. I called you here today for no other reason than to be self-willed and have a chat with the characters in the story. Let's talk about that episode."

The drama Ms. Dong mentioned is called "Let Time Live Up to You", which is quite an ordinary urban romantic drama, in which Chi Ming still plays the infatuated male supporting role. Ex-boyfriends who miss each other.

In the play, the heroine is from the south and has never seen snow. Her ex-boyfriend is from the north. She met the heroine in college. They have been dating for three years innocently. In the graduation season, the ex-boyfriend needs to return to the north without any surprises. After working for several years, he promised that the heroine would come back as soon as possible.

This winter, he used the first snow in the northern city where he was born to make a miniature snowman for the heroine.

He brought an incubator and an ice pack, took the train for more than ten hours to give the snowman to the hostess, and then left in a hurry.

The ex-boyfriend buried a ring in the snowman. It was bought with his several months' salary. It was very thin and only set with small diamonds, but it was enough to express his meaning clearly.

The snowman cannot survive in the south. The ex-boyfriend thought that the heroine would see the ring soon and understand his intentions, but the heroine cherished the snowman very much, and deliberately cleared the freezer of the refrigerator and kept the snowman in it.

Later, in order to earn enough money to marry the heroine earlier, the ex-boyfriend was so busy at work that he lacked more and more time to care about the heroine. A year later, the two broke up. Things, only to find the ring in the snowman.

A remembrance, but time has passed and the situation has changed, and it is impossible to go back to the past.

When Ms. Dong was telling the plot, she always had a sweet and gentle smile on her face, and she only revealed the answer after she finished speaking, "Maybe you have already guessed it, I also received such a ring."

She is a Cantonese girl. Forty years ago, there was such a simple northern boy who made her a lovely snowman with northern snow and hid a ring in the snowman.

In their time, rings were still a luxury item. The boy melted colored fruit candies and re-solidified them to carve him a "gemstone ring".

Fortunately, like the heroine, she treasured the snowman very much, but she didn't have a refrigerator to keep it, so she found the ring the night she received the snowman.

Ms. Dong: "Because of this ring, I made up my mind to marry him. I won't be afraid of you laughing when I say it. I was already 43 at the time. Still handsome."

Chi Ming: "This is the best story I've heard in years."

Ms. Dong was a little embarrassed, "Actually, I wanted to find you as early as the year when it was shown on TV, but unfortunately I am getting old, and I really can't bear to talk about my love story with a young man like you... But I always remember this , I've been looking for a chance to see you, but I didn't find a reason to see you until something happened here yesterday. The house that caught fire is some distance away from me, but the location is high, and I can clearly see the flames from here. I was very scared at the time, I just said to myself, the world is impermanent, and I should do what I want to do earlier, so as not to leave regrets.”

Chi Ming recalled the row of charred villas and asked, "Have you found out the cause of the fire?"

"I don't know the reason, and I'm still investigating. My old friends said that Xiao Jiu's life is really bad. It's already very pitiful, but this kind of thing happened." Ms. Dong said, and took a bookcase from the bookcase. A photo frame with a group photo taken ten years ago.

Beside her, there was a teenager in a wheelchair.

The young man's eyes were bright, but his skin was lacking in color. Although he was smiling, he seemed to find it extremely difficult to even raise the corners of his mouth.

Chi Ming was a little dazed.

Judging from Ms. Dong's words, this young man was the young man he had seen at the scene of the fire.

But this is not the point.

The point is... this kid is so good-looking.

It's like all the good things in this world are gathered in the same person's body.

Ms. Dong sighed, and said regretfully: "Isn't she beautiful? She would have looked better two years earlier, but unfortunately her health was very bad. I went to see him last month... Sigh, poor, he was so skinny. From the year he came in, the doctor said that he would not live to be an adult, and it is a miracle that he can persist until now."

Chi Ming wanted to comfort Ms. Dong, but she couldn't find a suitable sentence after searching her brain, but Ms. Dong changed the subject very understandingly, "Mr. , like asking for your help."

"Please speak."

"I have a script. It's a story about him written by an old friend. It has been kept with me since he passed away. He used to say that he wanted to make the script into a movie. While I'm still healthy, I want to make it into a movie." He fulfilled his wish."

She took out a wooden box from the bookcase, took out an old notebook from it, and handed it to Chi Ming.

Chi Ming took it with both hands, and Ms. Dong said: "This is his handwritten book. Take it home and have a look first. If there is anything you don't understand, please come and ask me. Then we will find a time, a book that is convenient for you. Time to see how it manifests."

"You mean...you want me to play this script?"

"Of course, the premise is that you are willing to act. The story is not complicated and there are not many characters. After you read it, you can choose any character you like to play."

In other words, she wants to give Chi Ming the lead role.

This matter was too sudden, and Chi Ming couldn't reply to her immediately. He had to go through the company to accept the show, and had to discuss it with his agent first, but even if these procedural factors were put aside, Chi Ming couldn't simply reply to her.

Making movies and TV shows are completely different things, the gap is comparable to elementary school students and undergraduate students.

And with his ability, he simply can't afford the burden of leading the role.

Perhaps seeing Chi Ming's hesitation, Ms. Dong wrote a calligraphy for him.

There are only two words on the white rice paper: original heart.

This event was very lively. A stage was set up in the front yard of the nursing home, and all those who could sing went up for a show. Thanks to the strong support of Mr. Zhou, the canteen of the nursing home was changed into a banquet hall in less than a day. It was very lively Had a dinner party.

The accompanying artists who can sing will still sing, and those who can't sing will keep smiling and chat with grandparents.

A certain uncle: "Oh boy, I have seen your movie. Your name is Deng Zixuan, right? I have the same name as an old classmate of mine."

A celebrity: "Uncle, you mistake me for singing and not acting in movies."

A certain grandfather: "The young man looks very energetic, why is his hair all white?"

A celebrity: "Oh hello, this is the recently popular grandma gray. It has been bleached five or six times. Look carefully, is it gray or white? It's different."

A certain grandma: "The little girl is so handsome, why is her hair cut so short?"

A celebrity: "Grandma, I am a young man, not a young girl."

……

Fortunately, the grandparents need to go to bed early, and the dinner party ended at eight o'clock. The usually shining stars were a little bit sluggish after a day of wear and tear.

Because Chi Ming had a solo mission, he did not attend the dinner, but had dinner alone with Ms. Dong.

Coastal City is about a three-hour drive from Jiuxiandian. For artists who want to go back to Jiuxiandian, the company has arranged vehicles for them. However, Chi Ming acted alone, and the time could not be matched with others. The car originally arranged for him was also temporarily transferred to the airport. pick up.

Chi Ming waited for the assistant to reschedule, and called Shen Danqing by the way. He didn't ask for a day, and he didn't know what happened to his bald chicken.

As soon as the phone call was made, Shen Danqing skipped the question and answered: "Your bird still refuses to eat."

Chi Ming: "...Is it going on a hunger strike..." The little brat has quite a personality.

"This bird may recognize the owner." Shen Danqing's tone remained calm for thousands of years. When he said this, he glanced at the incubator, and the bald parrot immediately frowned and gave him a menacing look.

Recognize the Lord...

Chi Ming remembered that when he was bitten by a parrot, instead of apologizing, the boss even said congratulations, the parrot recognizes the owner, and if it bites you, it recognizes you, and you have to take good care of it in the future.

QNMD recognizes the master.

"Shen Danqing, if you don't complain, will you die?"

Shen Danqing imitated Liu Banxian's tone, "Young man, please be patient. Even if you raise birds now, it will take at least a year to build a magpie bridge."

Chi Ming: "..." Why on earth did he buy a bird to torture himself?

Shen Danqing had enough teasing and finally remembered his identity, "I heard that your place is already over, why are you messing around if you don't come back?"

"...I'll be right back."

How could there be such a vicious agent in the world?Chi Ming thought, put down the phone and saw someone beside him at some point.

A girl, very young, not even in her twenties, with a baby face with apricot eyes, cool black mid-length hair, not dyed or curled, a light orange dress with Japanese white stockings, a very childish look.

Chi Ming had no impression of her, guessing that she was a newcomer to the company.

"Well... Senior! My name is Zeng Xiaowei, and I also graduated from Shanghai Opera. I like Senior's drama very much!"

"Well, hello, thank you for liking."

Deliberately running over would not just take care of her, Chi Ming waited for her next words.

Zeng Xiaowei: "You are such a senior, are you waiting for the car? We still have room in the car, and we are going back to Jiuxiandian. If you don't mind, why don't you go with our car?"

Chi Ming glanced at the assistant, who immediately replied, "Brother Ming, what do you think? The car I arranged here will take more than ten minutes."

The little bald boy at home refused to eat, and Chi Ming didn't say anything, but he was still a little anxious. Now that he has a car, he must go back first.

Zeng Xiaowei led the way, and kept talking about how much she liked Chi Ming's previous dramas. Seeing that she was young, Chi Ming treated her like a fan, listened more and talked less, and kept smiling.

Zeng Xiaowei brought Chi Ming to a silver nanny car, trotted over, knocked on the window, and said with a smile, "I invited my brother over here."

The car door opened, and Chi Ming subconsciously stopped.

The people inside were very different from Chi Ming's imagination. Seeing that Zeng Xiaowei was a newcomer, he thought that the people traveling with him were all newcomers to the company, but unexpectedly, he saw two familiar faces in the car——

The company's first-line star Shi Lingfeng, and his manager Fu Man.

The costume on Shi Lingfeng's body was not changed, and the shiny square diamonds formed a halo at the neckline. He looked at Chi Ming, with exaggerated surprise in his tone, "Oh, Brother Ming is here, I haven't seen you for a long time, come on!" Get in the car." Then he said to Zeng Xiaowei, "You don't know yet, do you? Your senior brother debuted at the same time as me, and the relationship is well-known. If you have any questions about acting, just ask him later, and let the senior brother take care of you." bring you."

The manager Fu Man also smiled apologetically, "That's right, brother Chi, Xiao Wei is a newcomer I just brought up. The child is very diligent and willing to learn, but his understanding is not so good. Please help me."

Zeng Xiaowei nodded vigorously, bowed and said, "Please give me your advice, brother!"

Chi Ming frowned, didn't say anything, got into the car and found a seat in the back and sat down.

Shi Lingfeng still looked enthusiastic, "Xiao Wei, bring a bottle of ice water for your brother, it's too hot."

Zeng Xiaowei held the script in one hand and water in the other, and rubbed a spot of water on his clothes clumsily, "Brother, drink water, and then that... This is the notebook I just got, and now I don't know how to find the status. Brother, can you take a look for me?"

Chi Ming glanced at Shi Lingfeng, then at Zeng Xiaowei, took a few sips of water, and began to read the notebook.

Along the way, as long as Shi Lingfeng spoke to Chi Ming, the atmosphere would instantly fall into a subtle embarrassment. Only Zeng Xiaowei felt that these people had a good relationship, and would happily chat with them.

It is true that Chi Ming and Shi Lingfeng are very close, but they are not on good terms.

On the contrary, the whole company knows not to mention Chi Ming in front of Shi Lingfeng.

The grievances between these two people can be regarded as hardcore. Back then, Shi Lingfeng hadn't changed his name, and he called him Shi Dongfeng, which was very earthy and popular, like a domestic car.

The company wants to cultivate some TV stars who are suitable for the ancient style, and at the same time signed a lot of newcomers to come in. Among them, Chi Ming has the best qualifications and will be cultivated by the company without any accident. Among the remaining people, the only one whose qualifications are close to Chi Ming is Shi. east wind.

At that time, we talked about two dramas with great potential, one was Xian Xia and the other was Republic of China. For the Republic of China dramas that require higher acting skills, the rest of the Xianxia was given to Shi Dongfeng.

As a result, the Republic of China drama failed to pass the trial, but the Xianxia drama became an instant hit.

The company won't give up on a newcomer like Chi Ming who has outstanding conditions just because of a single mistake. The main reason why he got into the way he is now is because he offended someone who shouldn't be offended.

Jishang Media directly belongs to Zhou Xinyi's youngest son, Zhou Ji. Unlike other down-to-earth Zhou family members, this youngest son is a typical dude. When he took over Jishang Media, besides liking glamor and beauty, he wanted to make more stars.

However, his way of picking up stars is quite special, he will not choose when they have nothing, but when they are famous.

For those who have nothing, exchanging their bodies for benefits is a great temptation, but for those who have achieved fame, using their bodies to protect vested interests is a deep-seated need.

Once you climb from the bottom to the top, no one wants to fall back.

Zhou Ji tried this trick time and time again, and the only one who failed was Chi Ming.

The reason why Chi Ming was able to film after offending the boss is said to be because Zhou Ji never completely gave up on him. Every time he praised Shi Lingfeng, he was satirizing Chi Ming. Shi Lingfeng had every chance to push Chi Ming out.

All these are repeatedly emphasizing a fact to Chi Ming: everything that Shi Lingfeng owns could have belonged to you.

There was a time when Shi Lingfeng would find fault with Chi Ming whenever he had the chance, until Shen Danqing became Chi Ming's manager and was forced to stop.

This big manager is nicknamed "Tianshichengjinjin". Bringing artists can be said to bring one to the other. The company has spent a lot of effort to recruit him, and the only condition for him to open is to choose the talent himself.

However, this big manager might not have a very good eye, so he actually picked Chi Ming.

From then on, it was not easy for Shi Lingfeng to find trouble with Chi Ming. If Shen Danqing was not here today, Chi Ming would not be able to get into Shi Lingfeng's car.

Although the atmosphere was awkward along the way, Shi Lingfeng didn't play any tricks. Chi Ming even thought that Shi Lingfeng asked him to get in the car just to give a play to the newcomer Zeng Xiaowei.

But when the car drove halfway, Chi Ming felt that something was wrong.

He began to feel drowsy, the kind of drowsiness that he hadn't slept for several days, as if he could fall asleep standing up.

It was very dark outside, and there were almost no people on the long stretch of the road ahead, only sparse and dull street lights were seen.

Chi Ming felt very bad and wanted to call Shen Danqing, but when he was looking for his mobile phone, Shi Lingfeng said: "Are you looking for your mobile phone? I think it's almost dead, so I'll charge it for you."

At this time, Zeng Xiaowei who was next to him said, "Brother Fu, can you drive slower? I, I seem to be a little dizzy. I may be motion sick. I don't usually get motion sickness. I may not be in a good state today..."

Chi Ming looked at Xiao Wei, and saw that she was holding the same water bottle as his.

Shen Danqing has taught Chi Ming a lot over the years, for example, when going out alone with guests, if you need to leave halfway, don't drink the remaining wine in the glass after you come back.

So as not to add "seasoning" to the wine.

Chi Ming was a bit big on these aspects. In order to let him have a long memory, Shen Danqing specially found several commonly used drugs for him to experience. Among them were some slow-acting drugs, which would not cause immediate seizures after taking them.

"Zeng Xiaowei——" Chi Ming couldn't control his strength, and shook Zeng Xiaowei's arm, "Lend me your phone."

With a sleepy look on his face, Zeng Xiaowei picked up the bag unsuspectingly, "Wait for me, find it, wait..."

But Chi Ming had lost consciousness before she could find the phone.
