Netherworld Investigator

Xiao Shao and Yu Bingqing have cooperated again after 20 years, and the topic has remained high, not only because of the strong publicity, but also because the "golden combination" touched the nostalgia of many older audiences complex.

Xiao Shao has been in the industry for more than 30 years, and his status in the world is beyond doubt, but until today, the most unforgettable movies made by him still happened in the 17 years of his cooperation with "The First Generation Xiao Girl".Although the film structure was immature at that time, my personal style was strong and full of vitality.Those stories are like unprocessed green apples, which may be a little rough and jerky in taste, but have a fresh taste.

In comparison, although the scripts of Xiao’s films became more rigorous, the story logic gradually became more perfect, and the visual effects and picture quality were not comparable to those of the previous ones, they were like the apple juice sold in convenience stores, bright in color, sweet and sour. It is moderate, but there is always a little less touching power in it.

It's just that the audience may still be disappointed. From the perspective of production and plot, "Bailiangguan" is still an out-and-out commercial comedy.Whether it is an actor or a director, they are just a part of the film and television industry chain, and the general environment will not be different because of the existence of a certain person.But fortunately for many people, seeing Xiao Shao and Yu Bingqing appearing on the screen at the same time is enough to satisfy their imagination.

In the past 20 years, Yu Bingqing has grown from a generation of "Xiao Girl" to an international star whose reputation is not inferior to Xiao Shao, and Xiao Shao has also changed from a director to one of the major shareholders of the largest entertainment company in China, and his strength is enough to rival Mo's boss .More than ten years ago, the news of Xiao Shao's disagreement with Boss Mo spread like wildfire in the circle. There were rumors that he even punched Mr. Mo in public. It's going to be hard.Unexpectedly, he has made it to today in a steady manner, and had a good talk with Mr. Mo in front of the media a few days ago, but he doesn't know what kind of undercurrent is turbulent behind the friendly faces of the two.

Of course, compared to the power struggle, the confusing personal relationship between Yu Bingqing and Xiao Shao is more interesting to talk about.In the 20 years since Yu Bingqing settled in country A, she was photographed intimately with a mysterious man several times by passers-by, paparazzi, or paparazzi pretending to be passers-by.Fortunately, Yu Bingqing is far away from Chongyang, and the domestic media has no way to keep track of her life. In addition, the other party is very vigilant, and has never been photographed positively, so the scandal always disappears.

In a dark room, Qiao Kejun, who was wearing light white home clothes, was sitting on the carpet. The light from the TV shone on his upturned face, making his eyes look like deep springs.

"Being famous doesn't mean having more people who love you, but more people who don't allow you to make mistakes. In the process, I even lost a lot of things I cared about..." Yu Bingqing sat in the interview room Li and the host talked freely, and the time allowed the pictures to overlap quietly, but she still looked as charming as ever.

"Have you ever regretted, for those lost things?" the host asked.

Yu Bingqing smiled lightly, but her tone was firm: "I never regret it."

At the same time that this series of commemorative programs was broadcast, she had already boarded the plane to country A, and it has been nearly 20 years since she left.And it wasn't until then that Qiao Kejun confirmed the blood relationship between himself and this woman from his father.

Rao Qiao Kejun looks more mature and stable now, but many years ago, he was just a teenager in the rebellious period, and he couldn't even control his temper well, and he would deliberately make some outrageous behaviors. I hope to win my father's attention. At the age of 15, Qiao Kejun ran away from home and met a man nicknamed "Gecko". He followed him in a daze, and hung out on Tang Street for several months.

It's not that Qiao Kejun didn't want to go home, it's just that Qiao Hengjing's attitude really made him unable to step down.It wasn't until two days after Qiao Kejun left that Qiao Hengjing discovered that his son was not at home.With his ability, he found out the whereabouts of his son without any effort, but after the meeting, Qiao Hengjing didn't intend to take him home. He only left enough money and said to Qiao Kejun: "If you like it, stay here Let’s play here for a few days, it’s time to learn a lot.”

This feeling of aggrieved punching into cotton runs through Qiao Kejun's growth.On the one hand, it is due to the nature of the Qiao family. On the other hand, there is no role of wife and mother to communicate between father and son. The relationship between father and son has been lukewarm for many years. People are still strangers.

Wen Baifan pushed open the door, imitated Qiao Kejun's appearance and sat cross-legged next to the person, stuffed a cup of warm cocoa milk into the palm of his hand, and restlessly touched the hole on Qiao Kejun's pajamas with the free hand. A layer of soft fluff.

"What are you doing?"

Wen Baifan smiled and said, "I always think you are very cute today."

Qiao Kejun turned his head and took a deep look at him.

It wasn't until I met this person that I seemed to see another possibility in life.

Wen Baifan felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, and said with a smile, "What are you looking at?"

"Look at you."

Wen Baifan raised his eyebrows: "Does it look good?"

"...Okay." Qiao Kejun's ears turned red quietly.

"Then how about we go to the movies after get off work on the Lantern Festival?" Wen Baifan suddenly suggested.

"it is good."

"If you don't bring your real brother, it's just the two of us."

"it is good."

Wen Baifan glanced at him quietly like a gas bum, and asked tentatively, "Then let's watch "Bailiangguan", shall we?"

Qiao Kejun pondered for a moment, and finally spit out the word "good".

The past days have been bitter, but fortunately, the future will be long.The person in front of him might be able to accompany him to make up for those broken moments in the past.

Qiao Kejun stood like an ancient Roman sculpture, standing motionless at the entrance of the theater, as if unaware of the secret and frequent scrutiny around him.

God knows how much effort he took to restrain himself, so that he didn't crush the big bucket of warm and fragrant popcorn in his arms on the spot.In response to the recent Valentine's Day with many names, the paper bucket packaging of popcorn has changed from the usual yellow and white "Popcorn!"

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, about a century long, the instigator who claimed that he would make a fuss if he couldn't eat popcorn finally got out of the crowded canteen and walked towards him holding up two whirlwind ice creams.

When he was about to walk in front of him, Wen Baifan suddenly stopped in his tracks, lowered his head and bit off one point, and then handed one of them to Qiao Kejun: "Please eat, bald head ice cream, limited edition."

"Thank you." Qiao Kejun took it, dumbfounded, and tasted it, and it tasted pretty good.

Wen Baifan glanced left and right mysteriously like an underground party leader, and urged Qiao Kejun: "Go in quickly, our seat is in the last row. Remember, the aura should be low-key and the action should be fast, because I can't book ordinary tickets, only There are only couple seats left."

Qiao Kejun glanced at the popcorn bucket in his hand, and questioned expressionlessly: "You still want to keep a low profile?"

"I think." Wen Baifan nodded firmly.

Although Wen Baifan's request is quite unreasonable and unreasonable, but fortunately, the design of the couple seats in this theater is quite considerate. Not only are the seats spacious, the view is hidden, but there are also special entrance and exit passages, which is worthy of the doubled ticket price. up.

The music started, and as the screen went dark, Qiao Kejun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

A few minutes after the opening, a couple sitting in front of them clasped their fingers together and were late.The disturbance they made wasn't too big, but walking around in the dark cinema was still a concern. Qiao Kejun subconsciously glanced in the direction of those two people.The two were against the light. The man was very tall. Although he tried to bend down when walking, he still accidentally blocked a part of the screen. The woman was very bulky and couldn't see her figure. I don't know if she was particularly afraid of the cold. This The weather still wraps the scarf thickly.

But after he took a second look, he was distracted by the "creaking" movement beside him. Wen Baifan took a bite of ice cream and rice crackers, gnawing happily like a chipmunk, completely killing Qiao Kejun's hidden heart The last bit of charming imagination in the depths.What the movie was about, Qiao Kejun had no time to think about it. It was probably a story of a reunion with a bit of black humor. At this moment, his mind was filled with the sound of some kind of rodent eating.

Until the moment the lights came on, Qiao Kejun was still full of puzzlement. There are people in the world who can’t understand the style to such an extent. Half an hour of popcorn.

"You said you didn't buy this popcorn for yourself?" A familiar male voice suddenly came from the seat in front of you, and you could only hear the undisguised pampering in the low and hoarse voice, "Such a high calorie , you can’t eat too much, and you’re making yourself so hungry.”

Qiao Kejun froze, as if frozen in an instant.

"I'm willing." The female voice who answered seemed to be blocked by some fabric, and the timbre was filtered and blurred, but the tone was quite light. "Let's wait for this group of people to leave before going out. It's all your fault. You should have left earlier, but now it's all right. There are so many people after the show."

"It's rare to watch a movie. It's fine if you miss the beginning of the movie. Thank you for not seeing the ending."

"You are not stingy, what's your fault!"

"It has nothing to do with stinginess, it's about fun, understand?"

Wen Baifan coughed lightly, and there was a moment of silence in front of him. After a while, two familiar faces appeared from the high armchair.There was also a popcorn bucket between the two of them, with a pink and invincible little heart shining brightly on it, but the model was one size smaller than the one in Wen Baifan's arms.

"Coincidentally, you two handsome guys." Yu Bingqing stretched out her hand and pulled the scarf down a little, winked playfully at the two of them, and quickly covered it back.Her original voice is sweet and rich in texture, like the top-quality watermelon grits, quite recognizable.

Qiao Kejun's eyes fell on the man beside her, she pursed her lips, and called softly, "Dad."

The waiter put a few plates of delicate snacks on the table, then silently closed the door and retreated out. For a while, the four of them were relatively silent, and the spacious box was so quiet that a needle could be heard.

Yu Bingqing was far from being as calm as she looked on her face. When Wen Baifan handed her a tissue, he felt that her slightly trembling fingertips were as cold as ice.Qiao Hengjing sat on the side without saying a word, drinking tea one after another calmly.

Wen Baifan chewed a shrimp ball silently, still thinking about the story he heard just now, "I think back then, your Aunt Yu and I were eighteen flowers, I didn't know what was wrong, and I was obsessed with it. This nerd..."

At that time, Qiao Hengjing was still studying for a doctorate in law. She was six years older than Yu Bingqing, but the difference in age and experience could not extinguish her pursuit of love in the slightest.Naturally, the naive, romantic and courageous Yu Bingqing captured Qiao Hengjing's heart, and the two fell in love.Soon after, Yu Bingqing found out that she was pregnant.

Qiao Kejun was born in the first year of her retirement.

"Who knew that people in their family were in such a situation, mind readers, underground organizations, I thought I was living in a sci-fi movie with this plot." Yu Bingqing smiled, her words were full of light-hearted jokes, her eyes But there was a trace of heaviness and helplessness that was not easy to detect.

Because her professional exposure rate is too high, which is not tolerated by the organization, she can only face two choices, either quit the film and television industry forever, and be a wife and mother wholeheartedly. If she continues to be an actress, she must be cleaned of her memory and thoroughly Forget about the existence of your lover and flesh and blood.

"So I chose to leave, when Ah Jun was less than three years old."

"Your mother just wants to leave you a way out." Taking advantage of Yu Bingqing's gap in the bathroom, Qiao Hengjing coughed slightly and explained to Qiao Kejun softly, "Fame and wealth are not the reasons for her to abandon you. On the contrary, she I think that only by possessing these can I better protect you."

Qiao Kejun gently pressed two fingers against his temple and forehead, and he was still immersed in a slightly dizzy mood. "When did she think of me?"

"She has never forgotten you." Qiao Heng took a deep look at her son, "During your lonely years, she will only be more sad than you."

He added: "It was your mother's idea to let you make a promotional video this time. She wants you to become a public figure, because only in this field can her influence become a bargaining chip to protect you."

"childish."

"Who says it's not? After all, it's her first time being a mother."

The topic stopped after Yu Bingqing came back, and the atmosphere froze again.

What cannot be explained is not cause and effect, and what cannot be healed is not scars, but the countless times that have passed away, which is a calm and waveless sea formed by countless ripples of disappointment.

Things have developed to this point, and the parts that can be explained have been explained clearly, but each other's emotions have to be digested slowly.The story of reunion after a broken mirror can only happen in dramas, because in real life, every scar will leave an indelible mark, even if you try hard to repair it, it often only ends up with a sigh in vain.

I have missed my life for too long, and even a peaceful and short communication has become a luxury.

At the moment of embarrassment, Wen Baifan thoughtfully played the role of the young man addicted to the Internet, read the news on his mobile phone, and interrupted the weird silence of the three at the right time.

"The game forum said that next week EG Games will hold an internal test and exchange reception. It is said that many celebrities have been invited to participate. Auntie, have you received the invitation letter?"

Yu Bingqing smiled and said: "It seems that there is such a thing, if you want to go, I can take you in."

Wen Baifan scratched his head with a silly smile: "It's a pity that I can't walk on the red carpet or anything. My job is special, so I can't be too public."

"It doesn't matter. I heard that this reception is kept secret from the media. You can come in as my staff." Yu Bingqing carefully glanced at Qiao Kejun's direction, "You can also bring other friends."

"Then I'll bring this friend with me." Wen Baifan looked at Qiao Kejun with bright eyes, and said repeatedly, "Go, let's go? Everyone participating in the reception will have the opportunity to be selected to experience their new game console on the spot." , It is said that their helmet is very magical, and wearing it will give people a wonderful experience.”

Speaking of this, Wen Baifan remembered that Yu Xianyu was also playing the game "Light of Dreams", "Speaking of which, why did the screenwriter suddenly take Director Xiao to the suburbs? I always feel that something is wrong. Resentment is not something that happens overnight, why did he choose to erupt suddenly at this time?"

"Yes, I was also very strange at first." Yu Bingqing sighed while resting her chin, "It stands to reason that Brother Yuan has been refusing to meet Ah Shao all these years, but for some reason, he took the initiative to find him that day. Later I heard Said that he has been suffering from depression, and because of long-term inappropriate medication aggravated the psychological barriers, he took extreme actions."

When saying goodbye in the parking lot, Yu Bingqing blinked quickly at Wen Baifan, and said softly: "Thank you for the free ticket, my sweet little paste. This is the first time I've sat in a movie theater like this and watched my performance play."

Wen Baifan pursed his lips innocently, turned around, and saw Qiao Kejun leaning against the side of the car, with arms crossed, looking at him with a half-smile.

Wen Baifan froze on the spot, laughed dryly for a while, then stretched out his hand and rubbed his face stiff from laughing, walked a few steps forward to Qiao Kejun's side, lightly slammed his forehead on his shoulder, and said in a low voice : "Are you angry?"

Qiao Kejun let him dry for a minute, then suddenly reached out and grabbed his hood, pulled him into the passenger seat, bowed slightly, and gently pecked and bit his lower lip.

It is every man's dream for a daughter-in-law to take the initiative to have a good relationship with her family, who would have any objection.

Yu Bingqing watched the lingering kiss of the two young people from the rearview mirror, smiled knowingly, and sighed almost inaudibly.

Qiao Heng's mirror image saw through her thoughts, "Take your time."

"Don't persuade me, it's useless." Yu Bingqing pursed her lips and smiled, tilting her head with her cheeks resting on her cheeks, with a lively expression like a girl, "You have to coax me."

"What are you coaxing, I'm an old couple." Qiao Hengjing snorted softly, and said sourly, "You should coax me. Every time I'm photographed, some blind people always say it's Xiao Shao."

"That's all because I deliberately let people lead the rhythm." Yu Bingqing stuck out her tongue, "Otherwise, do you think that with those sneaky photos that look like B-ultrasound, everyone can really recognize who is who?"

Qiao Hengjing persisted and complained softly to the windshield: "How are we alike? Is he as tall as I am, is he as handsome as I am, is he loving his wife if I am..."

At the same time, Xiao Shao, who is not as tall or as handsome as him, is hesitating outside Linyuan's studio door, clenching and releasing his right hand, raising and lowering it, feeling as restless as the first confession in his youth.

Just when he plucked up the courage to knock on the door again, the door suddenly opened by itself, and Lin Yuan appeared behind the door with an impatient expression.

It is said to be a studio here, but it is actually just a simple single room. Except for the necessary daily necessities and countless books piled up high, there is not even a table and chair for guests in this small space.

"It's still the same as before. No matter how big the house is, you can't store your books. Hey, but there are too many books. I don't have any place to put my feet... Ah!" Somewhere, a book placed on a high place fell and almost hit his head.He rubbed his shoulder that was sore from the impact, grinned and complained: "Next time I have to buy insurance before I dare to enter your house."

Lin Yuan sneered when he heard the words, "Yes, I am a mentally ill person, why don't you buy personal insurance before you see me, otherwise you will die inexplicably, thank you."

Xiao Shao has long been used to his snarky words, so he replied subconsciously: "Anyway, the beneficiary is you, and there is nothing to lose or lose."

Lin Yuan was momentarily at a loss for words.

Xiao Shao saw that his temples were full of hair, and countless youthful days flashed in his mind, he couldn't help sighing: "Ah Yuan, we were all wrong for what happened back then, but until now, we have to continue to torture each other ?"

Seeing that Lin Yuan was silent, Xiao Shao said again, "Now I have everything, and I don't worry about being restrained by others anymore. I just want to do things that I really like with you like before. Are you willing?"

After a long time, Lin Yuan slowly opened his mouth: "I know you have helped me a lot, I am very grateful..."

For 20 years, Xiao Shao has been keeping a close eye on him in secret, always giving him help at the right time, whether it is Zheng Weisheng's kind care, an extra bed in the hospital when he is sick, an umbrella that appears inexplicably under the eaves on a rainy day, Or the unsigned bouquet received on Valentine's Day, all of which show Xiao Shao's unforgettable and good intentions.When the heart is cold, it is difficult to warm up again. His heart has never been cold, probably because someone is always giving him warmth.

Lin Yuan didn't say anything about what Xiao Shao did, but he knew it clearly in his heart.The only thing that annoyed him was that Xiao Shao had been unwilling to withdraw from his life completely, but he was also unwilling to come to him in person.Knowing that he would never bow his head first, the two of them were stubborn and held back, and spent many years in this way.The past is like smoke, what he can't understand is no longer the betrayed friendship, but those years that should have been good but were missed by each other.

"No, I don't need your gratitude!" Xiao Shao had a bad feeling about what Lin Yuan was going to say, and interrupted in a panic, "I just, just want to invite you to make another movie with me... It's a story about blackhero."

As expected, Lin Yuan's eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "A blackhero like 'God's Hand'?"

"You know this name?" Xiao Shao was a little surprised. After all, the existence of the God's Hand has always been kept secret even by the police.But recently, for some reason, the wind has changed a bit, and the discussion about the name seems to have gradually become clearer. Some people even spent a lot of money on him to make this movie, asking him to change the obscure gray color of "Hand of God" Existence is molded into an icon symbol that can be sought after by the masses.

Xiao Shao asked hesitantly: "Then are you willing to be with me..."

"Of course." Lin Yuan answered quickly.

Outside the window, the night was sinking, and the bright artificial light gradually rose from the city.

Chapter [-] The Fantasy Game
