Play bone

After the funeral, Lu Li never saw his father again.

Preparations for notarization of inheritance and other procedures have already begun more than a month ago.Inferring the publicity time and various procedures, now several million bank assets have been successfully inherited by the old man.

All that remained were various objects—the auction was scheduled for the Friday of the second week after the funeral.The location is the conference hall of a high-end hotel in Beijing.

Of course, Lu Li wasn't going to join in the fun. He didn't have much spare money; even if he had, he didn't intend to take advantage of that wolf-hearted old man.But he couldn't stop Shen Xing from participating, and as soon as he bought it, he bought entertainment news.

According to the final publicity results, a total of more than [-] large and small commodities were sold in this auction.From the vehicles in Lu Li's garage to the movie scripts he used, there are all kinds of things in detail.

The items that Shen Xing chose to instruct Juxing Company to take pictures mainly include the trophies that Lu Li has won over the years; notebooks from college; The costumes cannot be reused, and often can only be mildewed and eaten away in the warehouse. Many actors will collect it by themselves).

Another piece of news that surprised Lu Li was that there were no personal items in the auction - none of the laptops, mobile phones, and clothes except the coat that they had dealt with beforehand appeared. at auction.I don't know if it was Shen Xingze's secret pressure, or the old man's conscience found out.

After another two weeks, the publicity period for the auction ended.Shen Xingze, who got the lot, found a time to call Lu Li home.The two divided the things into two piles according to the amount of discussion - one pile was kept in the poly star company; the other pile was going to be donated to the film and television museum in the China Film School.

According to Shen Xingze's words: In this way, part of Lu Li will remain in the school forever.

The day after Shen Xingze got the lot, the millions of RMB from the auction also entered Lu Li's father's account smoothly.I don't know if it was hype or another plan, but the old man actually donated 100 million of it in Lu Li's name, and named it to students in impoverished areas for art education.

Lu Li originally thought that he would have further hype, so he asked Shen Xingxuan to help him pay attention.But a few days later, Shen Xingze told him that the old man was planning to immigrate to leave China forever, and the destination was an island country in the Pacific Ocean.

This reminded Lu Li of the last time he went abroad with his parents.

That is the Whitsunday Islands in the Pacific Ocean. The endless sea is like a huge aquamarine.Blue sky, golden sand, green coconut trees, and white seagulls flying in the wind.

There is also an unfinished painting on the beach.

Everything is as clear as yesterday, but more than ten years have passed, and the man in the painting has already turned gray.

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

After receiving the batch of relics donated by Shen Xingze, the China Film Academy decided to hold a small exhibition with the theme of "Remembrance of Lu Li" in the film and television museum on campus.

The curation and preparation will take about 20 days to a month, so it can be inferred that it happens to coincide with Lu Li's graduation drama, which will be in the first ten days of July.

During this period of time, Lu Li not only had to hurry up and line up his own roles, but also had to find time to write an article for the exhibition - for him, the difficulty of the latter was obviously far greater than the former.

He even tried to coerce and lure Shen Xing to write for him.It's just that although the "price" was paid in advance, when he opened his eyes the next morning, Shen Xingze had already escaped without a trace.

Speaking of Shen Xingxuan, although the man wasn't filming during this period, his work schedule was still too full to take a breather.I just finished filming the brand endorsement commercial a while ago, and I just flew back from Chengdu yesterday, and today I have to go to Shanghai to cut the ribbon for the newly opened flagship theater under the Star Cinema Line.

The most direct consequence of two-way busyness is that the chances for the two to get along are less and less.For some reason, Shen Xing chose the trustee to use the broken vinyl disc as a material, and put a ring on his finger.Another ring with a slightly different style was delivered to Lu Li by courier.

Lu Li was afraid that wearing it would be too much of a target, so he bought a chain and wore it with a ring to hang around his neck. Occasionally pressing his chest during rehearsals was also a special kind of sweetness.

Before you know it, the glorious spring has come to an end.

On June [-]th, Lu Li asked for leave and went to the airport - because Shen Xingze had informed him that his father was going to fly to that Pacific island country today.After all, one of the prerequisites for applying for permanent residence is that you must stay in the local area for a certain number of years.

It seems that nothing is considered, and it seems that a lot is considered subconsciously.Anyway, Lu Li arrived at the airport in about the same time, and "just in time" saw the old man pushing a cart full of suitcases alone, queuing in front of the check-in counter.

After hesitating again and again, Lu Li walked over and helped him put the large luggage on the conveyor belt one by one.

Because he was wearing sunglasses and a mask, the old man was a little surprised at first, and he squinted his eyes for a while before he recognized him.

"...What a coincidence."

"I have something to do with friends at the airport." Lu Li casually explained a reason, and then asked him, "Are you going abroad?"

The old man smiled, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be deeper than when we met last time.

"Anyway, it's all like this, and it's not the same everywhere."

"How does one live abroad?"

"It's not alone. I have a friend who is a painter, and he built a painting and photography agency there. Every year, he receives the group of people who come from China to create. There is no one in charge. I just like to watch the sea, so that's it. caught."

Having said that, the father and son fell silent in unison.

After checking in all the luggage and paying the excess shipping fee, the old man carried the only small air box left, said "goodbye", and turned around to go to the security check.

About four or five steps away, an unstable voice suddenly mixed into the noisy voices.

"...will you come back?"

"Maybe not."

The old man shook his head and smiled at him again.

"You, do it well."

--------

On June 25, inside the China Film Academy.

After a month of preparation, the exhibition in the Film and Television Museum is basically completed.In addition to arranging for Professor Gu to unveil the exhibition, the school also invited former students such as Shen Xingze and He Muliang back to school to join in the show.

As a student, Lu Li was of course dragged to the unveiling scene by Professor Gu.Seeing his article "Reminiscing Lu Li" being enlarged and printed on the exhibition board, and greeted with the admiration of countless flash lights, just "embarrassed" is not enough to explain his complicated mood.

But looking at those costumes that have been carefully laundered and rediscovered; seeing the teachers, friends and movie fans who gathered for him after four years, he felt moved again, and silently thanked him in his heart.

After the unveiling ceremony, Lu Li was dragged by Shen Xing to participate in the classmate reunion dinner at noon.Looking at a group of classmates in their early thirties who had become famous and married sitting together chatting and blowing water, Lu Li didn't even dare to drink a drop of wine. He was afraid that he would be too drunk to control his mouth. Let's call each other brothers.

Of course, the dinner also has its advantages - under Shen Xingze's "recommendation", the other students except He Muliang can be regarded as getting acquainted with Lu Li.

After dinner, the others discussed going to another place to renew the stall, while Lu Li had to rush back to school to rehearse.Before parting, he secretly asked Shen Xingxuan if he was going to travel abroad in the next few days.Shen Xingxuan immediately stated that he would stay in Beijing, and he had to wait to see Lu Li's graduation performance in one week.

Just one week passed, and it was July [-]st in a blink of an eye.

At around 12:30 noon, led by Lu Li, all the students from Class 26 Performance Department came to the statue of Mr. Ouyang Yuqian, presented bouquets of flowers and prayed for the success of the performance.Then, the brigade marched vigorously and mightily across the campus to the experimental theater.

According to the tradition of China Film over the years, graduation dramas are often staged for seven consecutive days, with one or two performances per day.If the response is strong, there may be additional performances.The composition of the audience who enters the theater with tickets is also more complicated-fans, media, celebrities who come to join the show, and agents looking for talents... Although it is not reflected on the ticket, the seats in the theater are also strictly divided to ensure that no accidents will happen Or commotion, affecting the performance.

There are still two hours before the premiere, and everything is ready inside and outside the theater.

On the road leading to the Experimental Theater, banner advertisements are hung above the street lamps.Guidance signs have also been posted on the ground and at intersections.The interior of the theater is brightly lit and fragrant with flowers—dozens of large and small flower baskets are lined up, some students who are filming outside give surprises to their classmates; some brokerage companies give compliments to signed students; Wishes from children, gifts from fans to idols...

Among the dazzling images, there was an ingenious and expensive gift that stood out and attracted everyone's attention.

Not a bouquet or a flower basket, but a "deer".

This is a floral work that is almost the size of a real deer.The body of the deer bound with ivy or other foliage plants is covered with plum blossom spots decorated with small yellow roses.Look carefully, these yellow roses have also been carefully selected, the limbs and tail are bright yellow, and the closer to the head, the more red is mixed.Until the branch-like antlers above the head, there are already big and bright red roses blooming.

Unlike any other flower baskets, when this "Rose Deer" was carried over, there was no message or signature on it.But as long as you are familiar with this class, you can tell who it is for at a glance.

So, the girls took the time to take a photo with the deer, while the boys began to ask Lu Li who made such an exaggerated shot.Lu Li only speculated that it might be a fundraising event organized by the fan club of the fan club.Turning around, he also took a photo with the deer, and sent it to Shen Xing on WeChat, with a sentence attached.

"Show off your wealth?"

After just one minute, Shen Xingze's reply jumped out.

"I show off my wealth, you show off your husband. We each get what we need."
