Play bone

Lu Li recognized this woman.In other words, he recognized the equilateral triangle formed by moles on her face.

The woman's name was Xiao Huamei, and she was once a pungent and charming girl.Graduated from the 15th grade director department of China Film Group, one year younger than Lu Li, he can be regarded as his half junior sister.

Lu Li didn't have many memories of Xiao Huamei, but the deepest impression was that she was in a relationship with one of Lu Li's juniors.The China Film Director Department also has elementary acting courses. Xiao Huamei asked her boyfriend to ask Shen Xingxuan for advice more than once.

In my impression, Xiao Huamei's grades were good and she was very motivated, but she really didn't expect to end up here.But then again, even if you graduate from China Film Group, you may not necessarily have a good future.

There are too many people who come here with aspirations, but after graduation, they change their careers to take civil service exams, become vocal music teachers, or even take up even more irrelevant jobs.In comparison, being an art test trainer is nothing.

While Lu Li was sighing, Xiao Huamei had already clapped her hands for everyone to sit around her on the floor.

Today is the first class of this training class, and everyone has prepared a self-introduction for public performance.Most of the students intentionally imitated the accent of the news broadcast, shaking their heads, thinking that their vocals and expressions were full of emotion; it's a pity that the front and back nasal sounds were mixed together, sticky, like soaked noodles.

Xiao Huamei listened and took notes with a small notebook in her hand, and she would ask some questions after everyone spoke.Some are the basic situation of the family, as well as trivial content such as social common sense and academic performance.

Lu Li folded his arms and listened, making some comments in his mind from time to time.After everyone had finished their introductions, under the leadership of Xiao Huamei, everyone turned their attention to him in unison.

"I'm here to refund the money." He spread his hands.

In this line of work, after all, I have seen a lot of crooked ways, and Xiao Huamei is also experienced: "You can refund the money, but if you want to refund, you must return it to your parents, and you can't spend it on you."

Lu Li was choked by her, and had nothing to say for a while.

More than a dozen students are watching, and they will tell their parents what happened next.Xiao Huamei felt that a soft policy should be adopted.

"Tell my sister why you gave up? Do you think that your appearance is not good, so you must not pass the exam?"

"Yes." For the sake of money, Lu Li simply admitted.

Xiao Huamei suddenly felt that Lu Li's heart had been opened.She pulled Lu Li and praised Lu Li for being fat and good-looking, saying that he has good facial features, handsome in his fat, and that he could be a good face for a male role in the old society.What's more, there are still several months before the school exam. If you lose weight, you will be fine. If you lose weight, you must look good.

She was full of tongue, but Lu Li rolled his eyes in his heart.He had heard enough good things in his previous life, and in this life he only wanted money.

Seeing that the fat boy refused to eat, Xiao Huamei's patience was quickly exhausted.She finally pulled out her phone and sent a message.

Five minutes later, the principal who was "on a business trip" arrived.Tall and tall, with beard and curly hair surrounding his facial features, he looks like a bear lost in the city from a distance.

He is the headmaster Tang of this art test training class, and he is also Lu Li's primary school student, Tang Yiliang.

I haven't seen him for many years, the former round-faced little Tang has become a bearded old Tang.Just as Lu Li was trying to adapt, Old Tang had already led him into a small dark room in the corridor.

There are props and debris piled up in the room, covered with a layer of dust.Before Lu Li found a place to lay his feet, Old Tang had already pulled out a cigarette and handed it over.

"Little brother, why do you want to refund the money? Do your parents know?"

Lu Li shook his head and rejected the cigarette, and took the initiative to change a new topic.

"Principal, why don't we make a bet? You won't lose money on this bet."

Old Tang's cloudy eyes hidden under the curly hair suddenly flashed a little light.Like lightning after a dull and boring afternoon.

"How to bet?"

"Just bet that I don't need to take the art test class, and I can pass the school test of China Film Film Corporation."

Lu Li's gamble was very simple: he wanted old Tang to refund his tuition, on the premise that he could pass the China Film Academy without any pre-examination counseling.Not only that, but if he gets in the top ten, Old Tang will pay the scholarship according to the advertisement on the window.

What Old Tang can get is to use Lu Li's name to recruit students.A living example is much more vivid than an illusory text introduction.

Besides, Lu Li also mentioned another tempting bet.

Anyone who knows a little about the entertainment industry will know that China Film has a strange phenomenon: basically every six years, a star class will be born in the acting department.As the name suggests, graduates of this class have a very high probability of becoming well-known actors.

Lu Li used to study in Class 14 of the Acting Department, which was the star class of the year. In a small group of 30 people, 26 people have been engaged in acting career; headed by Shen Xingze, there are also eleven or twelve people who are famous in the entertainment circle.

And the 26th-grade freshmen who will take the China Film School Examination early next year will happen to be candidates for the next star class.

Old Tang quickly understood what Lu Li meant - he was asking him if he was willing to use the tuition fee to gamble on one's stardom.

Bet, why not bet?

Old Tang didn't know at all, but the chubby boy in front of him had already understood his nature.Knowing that he once used a canteen patty to win a school year's lunch, and once used a rose to win Xiao Huamei's heart.

So he had to participate in the cheap gamble before him.

However, before the final nod, Old Tang still had two last questions.

"What kind of ability do you have that guarantees that you will pass the exam?"

"Also, if I break the contract, what can you do to me?"

For the first question, Lu Li didn't respond.But the answer to the second question made Old Tang unbelievable—the boy, who looked fat and harmless on the surface, stared at his big eyes that had begun to slowly turn into double-sided eyes, and a sly smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

"Maybe I can help you realize the two answers you are most afraid of and most looking forward to."

----------------

At the end of the negotiation, Lu Li got back the 1000 yuan as the "gambling deposit" from Old Tang.

Of course, the money was a fraction of what his mother paid for his tuition.Maybe there is no need for any bets at all, as long as Lu Li insists on making trouble in the training class, a full refund can be easily obtained.

But the 1000 yuan was very important - after leaving the office building, Lu Li went straight to the train station.With the money he begged and the living expenses given by his mother, he bought a hard-seat ticket to Beijing.At seven o'clock tonight, the evening will come.

He couldn't wait, he desperately wanted to go home.

The ten-hour hard seat on the train is his unique long-distance experience.From Jiangnan to Jiangbei, and then to the North China Plain.The moist water vapor in the air was gradually sucked dry, and the sky outside the window became dark and bright again.Soon after daybreak, the scenery begins to feel intimate and familiar.

Lu Li stepped on his swollen legs and followed the crowd out of the bustling platform.Spent a little time in the station square researching the route home - subway to bus, maybe walking, but it's close enough.

So, under the rising sun in Beijing in early August, people saw a chubby boy like vanilla ice cream, squeezed out of a bus full of uncles and aunts, and trotted towards the sun.

Lu Li doesn't have a house in Beijing.Nine years after graduation, he initially lived in an apartment that his family bought for him.One hundred and twenty or thirty square meters, even a little deserted.Later, the original family went bankrupt, and his father ran away with the money. Lu Li took the initiative to take the apartment to pay off the debt. After a while, he went out to film and came back to rent a house.

Until four years ago, for some reason, Shen Xingze, who also rented a house, sublet the house to him.The location, price, and environment here are all good, and this is the only way to settle down.

In recent years, although Lu Li made some money from filming, the house price has risen, and he lacks a sense of financial security, so he just stayed there until this year.

After getting off the bus and walking for more than 200 meters, Lu Li arrived at the side entrance of the community.In the past few years, the whole city launched an open community movement, and the access control has become useless.He walked into the East District, skillfully walked through the water garden, and walked along the river bank to the door of the building where he lived.

Thankfully, the door was coded and he managed to get into the foyer.However, the elevator must be inserted into the card to use it. Fortunately, the lazy people in the community secretly opened the door of the corridor to facilitate the entry and exit of the courier, and by the way, his smuggling was fulfilled.

Familiar objects can bring people a sense of security, and familiar places can easily make people relax their vigilance.Lu Li didn't feel nervous at all, but he had to remind himself to be careful and avoid the surveillance cameras installed in the corners.

There was no one in the corridor, so he went up to the fourth floor, pushed open the heavy fire door, and came to the door at the end of the corridor.He flicked his fingers to enter the password, the green light came on, and he took a deep breath as he pushed the door open.

Every place smells different, and home is even more unique.At this time, Lu Li was like a stunned young man leading a bride to his door, eager to introduce the familiar smell to his new lungs.

But he was surprised, because the house was "polluted" with a smell that didn't belong to him.

After confirming that there was no movement in the house, Lu Li quietly walked into the living room through the hallway.

The room without the air conditioner is a bit stuffy, and a part of the living room remains the same as it was before he went out to film: a thin coat that fell down on the sofa, and slippers scattered on the floor, which is his informal characteristic.

But other than that, it's not his stuff.The debris that appeared in the sky included: seven or eight empty wine bottles, more than a dozen empty beer cans, a few balls of toilet paper, and seventeen or eight cigarette butts and ash all over the floor.

Who is so hurt, ran to the dead man's house to have a party? !

Lu Li's first reaction was to call the police, but fortunately, the reflection on the floor-to-ceiling glass acted as a reminder in time - now he is just a fat boy who broke into an empty door, and he went all the way to the north to steal, so suspicious.

Inspired by this, Lu Li hurriedly fetched a towel from the kitchen, and carefully wiped down everything he touched since entering the door.He dug out another pair of plastic gloves from the storage room and put them on, then walked towards the study.

The situation in the study room is better than that in the living room, but some books and scripts also have traces of being flipped.Lu Li didn't take a closer look. He went to the table and took out the bottom drawer. He reached into the bottom of the black hole, and soon found several bulging envelopes, which contained a brand new 10 yuan in reserve funds.

Lu Li's insecurity about money started at the age of 25.The astronomical foreign debts and his mother's medical expenses made him wish he could get some cash out of his pocket every morning, even if it was only a few dollars.

But now this little money has become a treasure in need.

Lu Li found a travel backpack, wrapped the money in his clothes and put it away carefully. After thinking about it, he found a few notebooks from the bookcase and stuffed them into it.Then turn around and prepare to get the nutritional supplements in the refrigerator.Passing by the bedroom door, he glanced at the half-covered door from the corner of his eye, and suddenly stopped in his tracks.

The bed in the bedroom was originally bought by Shen Xing when he chose to live here, and it returned to Lu Li after he moved out.For many days and nights, Lu Li lay on this big bed, reading scripts, resting his mind, and occasionally relieving his stress.It is his little world of absolute safety and privacy.

However, at this moment, there were traces on the bed that did not belong to Lu Li.

The thin quilt that was put in the closet before going out was taken out and piled crumpled on the bed.One pillow without a pillowcase leaned against the head of the bed and the other fell to the floor.Not only that, there are dozens of cigarette butts accumulated in the ashtray of the bedside table, no wonder the air in the room is a bit problematic as soon as we enter the door.

So arrogant!Lu Li cursed inwardly, and began to think about calling the police again.When I lowered my head, I suddenly found a white square corner faintly exposed under the thin quilt on the bed.

He was curious, so he picked up the quilt and lifted it up.The square box immediately showed Lushan's true colors.

An urn.
