At the turn of spring and summer, the weather is fickle.On an ordinary afternoon, when people were at a loss for the sudden heat, they reluctantly took out their umbrellas in the unexpected rainstorm.

Chen Mingfan raised his backpack and followed the flow of people to the door of a coffee shop, found a corner and took out his mobile phone to make a call.Then he put his hands in the pockets of his coat, and looked at the lights that gradually came on in the dark sky in the distance.

The film and television city is located in a remote suburb, but it is very popular. Large shopping malls and small shops can be seen everywhere. Apart from some professionals in the industry, there are also many students from surrounding schools.

It has been two years since he came to this city, and it has been more than a year since he really started taking pictures.After graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts, he started his new life here without hesitation, not only because there are more opportunities for development, but also because there are people he misses here.

About a quarter of an hour later, he saw a man in sportswear looking at him from across the street, and he waved to him quickly.The other party rushed through the rain curtain and the crowd and ran to him, took off the hood of the sweater and exposed his wet face.

"Did you wait a long time? Sorry, sorry, the teacher delayed the class for a while."

The hair tip of the person in front of him was stained with water, and there was still a small amount stuck between his eyebrows on his forehead. His eyes were slightly blue, and he looked tired under the dim light.

Yi Chang wiped his face with his arm, and seeing that Chen Mingfan was wetter than himself, he asked, "Go back to your house and change clothes first?"

"No need, it's okay, I'll do it in a while," he patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go, let's eat."

When we came to the store we had made an appointment with, there was already a lot of people inside, and the waiter finally got out and took the two of them to the seats to sit down.Yi Chang rubbed his hands and sat down, his expression became much more relaxed when he saw the side dishes quickly arranged in front of him.

"I've agreed to treat you today, you're welcome!" Chen Mingfan handed him the menu.

He smiled knowingly, opened the menu and began to look for some dishes they liked to order when they ate out.

Although they lived in the same city for a long time, they did not keep in touch with each other because of their different occupations. They only came out occasionally for dinner and drinks.Since Chen Mingfan went to the north to participate in the activities of the photography team last time, they have not seen each other for several months.

Chen Mingfan is still the same, it seems that he has not changed.Sometimes when he recalled the group of people who had a good time in high school, he found that his deskmate had always maintained a very optimistic state. Every time he met, he still looked carefree. Too reserved.

"Yi Chang, it's really difficult for you to make appointments, and it's getting more and more difficult!" Chen Mingfan stuffed a big mouthful of meat into his mouth and said vaguely, "And the date is still in such a remote place, is it because you are afraid of your fans? You The class that I attended was also arranged by the company? What kind of company of yours is too oppressive, and all kinds of running announcements are fine, and there are so many arrangements..."

"I don't have so many fans." Because his mouth was too dry, he downed a glass of beer all at once, and said indifferently.

He has been in the industry for almost three years, and he also has some works that people can remember his name, but when it comes to the characters he created, I am afraid that he has not left much impression on people.

The film he collaborated with Huo Ling was fortunate enough to win an international award, and it was also well received in the industry. His performance among many outstanding leading actors was also recognized, which is a good start.But after that, the drama that gradually deviated from his original intention made him more and more confused. He suffered from the route set by the company but was helpless.

In the past, when I went out to eat with a few artists I met from filming, I would be attacked by fans unexpectedly, but the target of the attack was not him.Later, he gradually didn't like to go out, and he also began to reject private communication with the stars he worked with, and tried to avoid crowds when going out with people, trying to be quiet.

"The class wasn't arranged by the company. We were asked to attend the next program. If it's useful, at least I can learn something compared to other messy things."

Chen Mingfan raised his eyelids when he heard this, and Yi Chang's sunken cheeks made him feel a little sad, and said, "See, you don't even have a human figure anymore, why do you fight so hard? Just go on the show, what kind of training? Alright. I'm usually so tired, I need to give myself some time to relax."

Yi Chang took a few mouthfuls of rice and didn't answer.

This training is the first time he has come into contact with the systematic study of acting, and it is a good opportunity for him.After class, he would run and lift weights with a few buddies to prepare for the new play. It was usually close to zero when he got home, but he never tired of it.

He likes the feeling of being busy and living without gaps.He doesn't need to think about a lot of things, and he can avoid thinking about a lot of things, and his anxiety can be reduced.

After eating and drinking, the two stood at the door of the store and took a taxi.The moist and gentle wind beat on the face, and the loud music in the streets and alleys made people feel hallucinatory.

"Yi Chang, come to our studio when you are free, and I'll take a photo for you." The friend raised his thumb and pointed at himself, with a confident and arrogant look on his face.

He remembered that when he was in high school, Chen Mingfan could finish his homework quickly every day, and his relaxed appearance made everyone around him want to kill him with eye knives.Once he was caught playing a mobile game during his evening self-study and was caught by the patrolling teacher. When he was punished to stand, he had such a style. It was the first time he saw a person who was punished to stand so gracefully and confidently.

At that time, the student god in the class resolutely chose the Academy of Fine Arts, and became an excellent independent photographer, with his own small world.Chen Mingfan walks steadily and self-consciously step by step, which makes him envious and has more motivation to move forward.

"Come on, do you think my company didn't arrange enough photos for me?"

Now he would tremble twice when he heard the words "photographer" and "magazine".Their company probably thought that his idol-style line was not strong enough, so they arranged all kinds of weird magazine photos for him one after another, and sometimes they even put on awkward heavy makeup.

"Let me tell you," the other party put his hand on his shoulder, "don't confuse my level with those people. I'll take pictures for you... I'll take pictures that suit you best!"

Probably because he drank a little too much, Chen Mingfan started talking with a tongue, which sounded very funny, but the other party's serious eyes told him that he would definitely keep his word.

"Okay, when this month is over, I'll go take pictures with you."

When the car arrived, Yi Chang sent him to sit on it first, and then walked slowly to the other side of the river alone.There are many people walking on the bridge in the middle of the night. Looking from here, many high-rise buildings are still brightly lit.

In the thick fog, he saw the name of his hometown, and the bright red light continued to shine among the many colorful lights.

For a moment, he couldn't remember how long he hadn't gone back. It can be said that there was no one or anything that he needed to worry about. He could leave with confidence and keep a distance.

He stood at that position and kept looking at those two words, realizing that he hadn't stayed for such a long time for a long time.After a while, he held his forehead, frowned and sat on the concrete floor.

He took out his mobile phone and dialed a number, the mechanical voicemail prompt seemed long and cold in his dizziness.

"Hello, Doctor Yue, I'm Yi Chang."
