Play bone

At three o'clock in the morning, Lu Li had a long nightmare.He dreamed that he was back in the graduation season of his senior year.

On the day of putting on the bachelor's uniform, neither the father nor the mother came to watch the ceremony as scheduled.And this wasn't the first time they missed an appointment—the graduation drama half a year ago, and Lu Li didn't get the news until before the performance started: because of an emergency, no one from the family would be there.

The ominous premonition has been magnified several times, and it has reached the point where it cannot be ignored.Just as the classmates were packing their bags and looking forward to a new start in life, Lu Li bought a plane ticket and flew back to his hometown empty-handed.

It was also on this trip home that Lu Li heard for the first time that the foreign trade company that his family had run for two generations was insolvent and on the verge of bankruptcy.And it was even more unexpected to him-this was just the beginning of various tragedies in the next few years.

When the result of the bankruptcy of the Lu family was irretrievable, the father, who had always had no status in the family and was even submissive, became the first person to rebel.The mother, who was almost alone, suffered the blow of destruction together with the entire Lu family, and has never been seriously ill since then.

As the saying goes, "Fortune never comes without pair, misfortune never comes singly", more bad luck approached Lu Li step by step.

Spotlight postponed the official contract with Lu Li due to the previous broken wrist.Later, I found out about the accident in his home from nowhere, and offered a small condolence money and a special contract.

Although he knew that this was an unequal contract, at that time Lu Li did not have the conditions to negotiate with Juguang - he had no backer, lacked work experience, and even needed money urgently.It only takes a few seconds to sign a name, but it means that Lu Li has sold himself to Juguang for 20 years.

Life can have several 20 years.

Of course, Lu Li at that time was not able to think so far - in just one year, he took over eight TV series and two movies.As a newcomer, he can only get some small roles, sometimes even just a side role, and his salary is of course very limited.However, it is precisely this limited remuneration that will be siphoned off by the company to [-]% and taxes, so there is not much left.

But even so, this was the best effort Lu Li could do at that time.

It was a hell of a life.

The body followed the crew, running around, eating low-end boxed lunches and free soup that was as light as pot water, and staying in cheap country hotels; The phone calls are always on tenterhooks, both worried that it is a notice to pay medical expenses, and afraid that it is not.

However, his worst nightmare still came true.

On the day his mother left, Lu Li was still filming on set.After receiving the bad news, he frantically went to ask for funeral leave, but he opened his mouth and started vomiting blood.Long-term overwork, irregular diet and malnutrition caused severe stomach bleeding.He participated in his mother's cremation ceremony with his hands on the infusion stand, and on the way home, he passed out in the car while holding the urn.

After being hospitalized for two weeks, Shen Xingxuan appeared just as the account amount was counting down.

After more than a year of bitter wind and rain, Lu Li suddenly realized that having someone to accompany him turned out to be such a luxury.Someone was comforting, someone was waiting... He even regarded Shen Xingxuan's appearance as the mercy of the heavens.

However, when the wound gradually healed, he began to realize that the appearance of Shen Xingxuan might not be entirely a good thing.

Captive breeding under the pretext of recovering from illness turned into grounding after recovering from illness.For several months, Lu Li was forced to become a climbing plant attached to Shen Xingxuan.In his world, there is only food, water, and the kisses and caresses from Shen Xingze, nothing else.

But not enough, far from enough.Desire cannot hold back hope.

After some resolute struggle and opportunities, Lu Li finally opened the door to the outside world.Then he discovered that after a year, the outside world has been turned upside down.

The Spotlight Company has long been owned by the Shen Xingze family.So he asked Shen Xing to abolish the 20-year unequal contract and let him go free, but he was rejected.

"You are mine and I will never let you go."

These were the last words Shen Xingze said in the dream.

After waking up, Lu Li made himself a cup of strong tea, and then tried to recall everything that happened a few hours ago.

He thought back to the dinner at Sanheju, thought over every word he and Shen Xing said, making sure that none of them clearly revealed his identity.

_________________________________

The life of the acting department is gradually getting on the right track, and there are many interesting things worth recording on WeChat.After that day, for a long time, Lu Li never had any contact with Shen Xingze again.

He Muliang, on the other hand, just asked Ma Meng to play basketball last weekend, and dragged Lu Li and a few classmates along by the way.During the rest of the rotation, everyone chatted wildly about the mountains, but the topics most likely revolved around the industry.

In half a month, the big event in the film circle - the 31st Golden Cong Awards will be held in Guiyang.

As the most authoritative expert award in the Chinese film industry, the Golden Cong Award and the audience popularity award "Jade Cong Award" are held one year apart.This also means that the films released last year can also become the favorites for this year's Golden Cong Awards.

In fact, what Lu Li once worried about has come true—Shen Xingze's hit movie last year was nominated for multiple Golden Cong Awards, becoming the undisputed leader.The movie that Lu Li was filming at the time of the car accident was shortlisted for several important awards such as Best Picture, but it was still crushed by Shen Xingxuan after all.

It was terrible, and Lu Li couldn't help but feel a little strangely lucky - if it wasn't for the car accident, he would have been unable to sleep or eat well enough to have a stomach attack.

September 10 at eight o'clock in the evening.

The four people in dormitory 513 sat around in front of Ma Meng's large curved computer screen, watching the live broadcast of the Golden Cong Awards.

On the red carpet, the tops are fragrant and the temples are shining, and the stars are shining brightly.Sweeping the camera, the eyes are full of high-end fashion and precious jewelry.This is a grand event in the industry, a feast of beauty, and at the same time, it is also the undercurrent of commercial competition and fame and power.

Following the warm cheers outside the isolation fence in the distance, the camera lens quickly switched, and the well-dressed Shen Xingxuan and the actress Hu Qiong appeared on the screen.

Hu Qiong is a 25-year-old actress who graduated from the Acting Department of Beijing Theater Academy.She became popular in love-themed movies, with a glamorous appearance and a hot body.Today, she is wrapped in a water red low-cut evening dress, and she is stepping on fiery red stiletto heels. Her long snow-white legs are faintly visible between the slit skirt.

The bachelors in 513 let out a burst of exclamation one after another.Only Lu Li, who had worked with her before, was immune to the temptation of this beauty, and turned his attention to Shen Xingxuan who was beside her.

Maybe human beings really have the ability to predict things—Shen Xingze's clothes are exactly the same as those in Lu Li's dream on the night of the car accident.He is personable and handsome... It is not difficult to imagine how many compliments the media will add to his name tomorrow.

But Lu Li knew that all compliments were worthless in Shen Xingze's eyes, and he had only one goal tonight - Best Actor.

As the opening approached, the camera cut into the infield of the party. The 2000-seat theater was packed.Two years ago, Lu Li was also lucky to be among them. Although it wasn't a good seat, he had felt the exciting atmosphere after all.

The two-and-a-half-hour award presentation starts with the best animation, and the best actor will be announced about two hours later.Taking advantage of the previous few links, Luo Cheng and Bai Jiaen went to the snack bar downstairs to pack a few side dishes, and everyone enjoyed themselves while giving advice while eating and drinking.

As time passed, the awards were announced one by one.There is basically no suspense about the winner—Shen Xingze's crew had a good harvest.Luo Cheng and Bai Jiaen also had a good impression of Shen Xingze under Ma Meng's propaganda. Of course, they were happy together, but Lu Li was in a complicated mood.

After the best photography award ceremony ended, the host did not appear on the stage immediately.The lights on the stage became dim, and the low music sounded, and a beam of light on the right was switched on, illuminating a solo piano.

It turned out that at this stage, Lu Li's heart suddenly sank.

I can’t remember when it started, but the Golden Cong Award added this process: squeeze all kinds of people, men and women, tall and short, bad and good, into the same tin can, and then label them --dead.

This year, there was also Lu Li who was put in the tin can.

The black and white photo on the big screen slowly appeared and then disappeared, and soon Lu Li saw that familiar yet unfamiliar face.It was himself, but it was no longer himself. He subconsciously stretched out his hand to press his chest—the amulet with the bone fragments was hanging there, quietly, but it was just a dead thing.

The clip ended quickly, and the next scene of the live broadcast cut to the second row of the guest seats.Shen Xingze sat in the front row with his head bowed and his hands crossed on the back of the chair in the front row, as if he was remembering or praying.

Lu Li's heart suddenly throbbed violently.

I remember that at the farewell meeting for the body, seeing Shen Xingze standing in front of the coffin with a yellow rose in his arms, Lu Li once felt a sense of revenge.At that time, he only hoped that Shen Xingxuan could remember this kind of pain for the rest of his life, so that the name Lu Li would always be engraved in his heart.

But now, there is only another voice in Lu Li's heart——

Shen Xingcho, more than a year has passed, you should forget about it.

With the advancement of the awarding session, the live broadcast of the party gradually reached its climax.The actress queen has been born, and the next thing to be announced is the ownership of the title of actor.

The dormitory was so quiet that all four pairs of eyes stared at the screen.Even though it was nothing to do with him, Lu Li was still nervous.There was a thin layer of sweat in his palm, and the sound of his heartbeat was amplified infinitely, so violently that his whole body seemed to tremble suddenly.

The award presenter was veteran film star Fu Yunen, and his wife was Lu Li's dialogue teacher back then.After the nomination short film was over, he opened the golden envelope under the eyes of everyone, took a look and laughed.

"My wife should be very happy. Because in the 31st China Film Golden Cong Awards, the best actor winner is her protégé Shen-Xing-Ze!"

Ma Meng hugged Bai Jiaen with a "wow", while Luo Cheng clapped his hands hard several times.Lu Li finally relaxed, leaning back in the chair, raised his head and sent a long breath towards the ceiling.

On the screen, the party scene was also boiling, with applause and cheers.The camera cut to Shen Xingxuan, who straightened his collar and stood up, accepted the hug from the heroine Hu Qiong, shook hands with the director, and walked towards the brightly lit stage.

The acceptance speech has been carefully considered and revised, and the content is modest and traditional——Shen Xing chose to win the trophy at the "young age" of just 30 years old, and his background is so special, it is indeed easy to arouse overt and secret jealousy .

Everything is exactly the same as the previous dream.The only thing that surprised Lu Li was that at the end of his speech, Shen Xing raised the golden trophy in his hand and said five words.

"Lu Li, I'll give it to you."
