Play bone

Chapter 76

Amidst the flowers and applause, the first graduation drama of Class 26 of the [-]th grade performance department kicked off slowly.

The lights went down and the music played, and a bunch of characters came on stage.From the moment they step on the stage, they are no longer the students in the ivory tower, but the real actors and the characters themselves.

In the past three years, everything they released, learned, and felt in this school must be expressed on this stage.After three years of sharpening a sword, I show it to the king today.Sincerely incisively and vividly, without reservation.

Shows start at 02:30 pm and end at [-] pm every day.After the stage is cleared, all the actors will stay in the theater to sum up their experiences, and get up early the next day to rethink again and again, so that the performance in the afternoon can be improved. It is conceivable that the pressure is huge, but everyone is tireless and tireless. Just extreme excitement and intoxication.

It can be considered that the hard work paid off, and the big play was staged for seven days, a total of [-] performances, each of which was more lively than the last.The last ticket was hard to come by, and even the aisles were filled with spectators.More than half of the performance posters pasted on both sides of the campus road were secretly removed. A well-known student like Lu Li received flowers and various gifts every day.

At nine o'clock in the evening on the seventh day, the last performance ended smoothly.The curtain fell and opened again, and all the actors took the stage and bowed.The audience below the stage applauded thunderously and lasted for a long time, shaking the stage slightly.

Seven days of intense attention, followed by three years of cold and heat, and more than 1000 days and nights of hard work and hard work, flashed in my mind at this moment like a revolving lantern.After bowing deeply and raising their heads again, most of the actors were already in tears.

Even though it wasn't the first time he had experienced this kind of scene, Lu Li's heart was still surging.

The lights on the top of the stage were dazzling, making it difficult for him to see whether Shen Xingze was sitting in the audience.But he clearly remembered the graduation drama many years ago. At the end of the curtain call, he and Shen Xingxuan were shoulder to shoulder, holding hands and holding them high, embracing each other tightly.

To be with you on this road in the past, and to walk hand in hand with you in the future—what else should I ask for?

After the students on the stage took a group photo with their teachers, the audience in the audience also came forward one after another to communicate closely with the actors.Taking advantage of the chaos, Lu Li quietly turned around and went backstage.

After taking off his costume and make-up, he hurried out of the theater, found a dark corner without street lights, and turned on his phone.

The phone was connected quickly, and he licked his lips that still smelled of lipstick.

"Where are you?"

"Go back to the car."

The man on the other end of the phone simply explained: "The last show should be quite chaotic, so I took the first step because I was afraid of getting into trouble. The show was a success, congratulations."

After making sure that Shen Xingxuan would not leave just like that, Lu Li looked left and right for no one passing by, and began to walk out quickly.

"Are you alone? Where is the car parked?"

"Swallow Alley outside the west gate, behind the big tree in the north, the fourth car."

Ten minutes later, Lu Li found Shen Xingze's car deep in the dark alley.Taking advantage of the deserted surroundings and the car windows were covered with film, the first thing he did when he got into the car was to grab Shen Xingze's collar, lower his head and gnaw on it.

It's been a long time since the two of them got so tired of crookedness, so they simply entangled for a while before recovering.

Shen Xing chose to bite Lu Li's ear, and touched his waist: "...Is it time for a vacation?"

Lu Li snorted and was about to say something when the phone in his pocket vibrated suddenly.

"It's Marmon and the others."

He took out his mobile phone and looked at it, then retracted and retreated to the passenger seat, "I almost forgot, we made an appointment to eat hot pot tonight."

"Can't change the day?" Shen Xing chose to hold back the idea of ​​pressing the central lock.

"Of course not." Lu Li shook his head confidently, "Didn't we just go out to eat and drink as soon as the curtain call back then? What kind of energy can we have after a night?"

There is some truth to this statement, Shen Xing chose not to force it anymore.

Fearing that he would regret it, Lu Li had already pushed the car door open with one hand, but turned around after thinking about it.

"After dinner... Shall I go to your house to find you?"

"No need."

Shen Xingze actually shook his head: "It's easy to have accidents on the road when you're drunk, so I'd better come back after waking up. I'll be fine tomorrow, and I'll wait for you."

"It's a word."

Lu Li's eyebrows were curved, and his heart was as sweet as honey.

In this way, the two said goodbye in a dark alley.Shen Xing chose to drive away, while Lu Li quickly ran along the original road to the west gate to meet other students, and everyone took several taxis to the reserved restaurant.

Tonight's supper is both a celebration banquet and a break-up meal at the end of the term.Everyone was noisy, and there was a bit of sadness mixed with happiness.After a few glasses of beer, it was even more difficult for the emotional art students to control their emotions.

Some people asked for kisses with wine; some cried when they were drunk;

Worried that the video of his drinking gaffe would be posted on the Internet, Lu Li restrained himself from drinking and stayed sober the whole time.When the show was over, he, the boy squad leader, took on the important task of "firefighting captain" by the way.

At around one o'clock in the morning, he and a few sober classmates stuffed the drunks into the car in groups of four, making sure that none of them was missing before driving back to school.Back in the dormitory, I found that Ma Meng, who had drunk too much, was missing.I ran around the campus twice in the middle of the night, and finally found someone performing radio gymnastics in front of the statue of Mr. Ouyang Yuqian.After finally coaxing him back, and helping to wipe his face to sober up, it was already three or four o'clock in the morning when he finally went to bed to rest.

The high tension, excitement and revelry in the past ten hours or so had consumed Lu Li's energy for several days.So much so that as soon as his head touched the pillow, he fell into a deep sleep, and when he opened his eyes again, the setting sun was already filling the sky outside the window.

Bai Jiaen and Ma Meng had already packed their luggage and went home during the day.Luo Cheng was playing games with headphones on on the bed, with a focused look on his face.

Lu Li rubbed his sleepy hair, let out a half yawn, and suddenly froze with his mouth open.

Where is the phone?He quickly searched under the pillow and on the bed, and finally found it from the pile of clothes on the chair.When I opened it, there were indeed a lot of information prompts on the screen, [-]% of which were from Shen Xingze.

Oh no.

Remembering that Shen Xingxuan mentioned last night that he would be waiting for him at home today, Lu Li had an intuition that something was wrong.He hurriedly opened WeChat to find out what Shen Xingze said, but he didn't expect to see Shen Xingze's words. Instead, he saw a circle of friends posted by his cousin saying that - just last night, his mother and uncle Treated guests to a drink and officially remarried.

What was going on, Lu Li was stunned.

I remember that as early as a month ago, he invited his mother to come to Beijing to watch his graduation drama, but she politely declined on the grounds that she was unwell.But now, she held a wedding without telling his son on the same day?

Although there is no real blood relationship between them, Lu Li has always respected his mother for the past four years.Parents and children don't see each other often, but they have a harmonious relationship.Looking at the photos posted by his cousin in Moments, and his small dilapidated medieval house with big red happy characters on it, Lu Li felt an indescribable weirdness for a while, which made him uneasy.

So he put Shen Xingze's matter aside for the time being, and first dialed the phone number at home.

The phone was quickly picked up.As expected, the mother was embarrassed for a moment, but she still confessed the reason for hiding it from him——

Today's Lu Li is already considered a half-celebrity in the small town.If he was involved, the focus of the wedding would definitely be on him.Although mothers don't need to mind things like taking the lead, the man's family has some scruples.

Furthermore, the date of the wedding banquet was chosen by the man, and it conflicted with the date of Lu Li's graduation drama. Since it is destined to be unable to have both, it will not add to his regrets and troubles.

These words sounded as if he was thinking of him, but Lu Li still vaguely felt an indescribable strange feeling - he felt alienated, as if he had become an extra member of this new family.

At the end of the phone call, my mother said that I would go on a trip with my uncle in a few days.That being the case, there was no need for Lu Li to rush back.After finishing the phone call, he meditated for a while, and then suddenly remembered about Shen Xingze again.

It seemed that it was not sincere enough to send the message slowly, so Lu Li hurriedly dialed Shen Xingze's cell phone.

Maybe it was really too long to wait, Shen Xingze on the other end of the phone was indeed extremely dissatisfied at the moment.Although Lu Li's gentle explanation softened his attitude a little bit, it's a pity that the long-awaited date between the two parties was completely ruined. I flew to the United States for my career, and I couldn't come back within ten days and a half months.

Lu Li hadn't expected this kind of development at all - last night he was still the number one actor in the show that everyone was looking forward to; today he suddenly became a troublemaker by his mother's side, a broken promise in the eyes of his boyfriend.

Unable to return to Hailing, and unable to see Shen Xingxuan, he felt as if he had become a person with nowhere to go.However, this feeling of confusion did not last long.It soon occurred to him that there were other things to do at the moment.

----

Let's go back to the time when the Film and Television Museum held the "Lu Li Special Exhibition".At noon that day, Shen Xingze and others held a small class reunion in the hotel box, and brought Lu Li along by the way.It was at this dinner that Lu Li heard a piece of "information" that interested him——

The IP TV drama directed by well-known director Li Haowen is currently casting, and it is expected to launch in mid-August.

This Li Haowen was once Lu Li's great benefactor.

Back in the day, when Lu Li was just recovering from a serious illness, Shen Xing chose to hold him in the palm of his hand for the reason of recuperating.Even if it is rare to go out to film, what they get are some innocuous supporting roles.After a period of struggle, Shen Xingxuan finally compromised with him, and after the struggle was won, Lu Li's first leading role was directed by Li Haowen.

At that time, Lu Li could be said to have bet his entire future and pride on making this movie.Director Li Haowen's guidance and editing also contributed to Lu Li's performance objectively.

Fortunately, the TV series received rave reviews after it was released, and it was from that moment that Lu Li regained his confidence and became more determined to break free from the shackles of Shen Xingxuan and practice his goals and ideals.

Seven or eight years have passed in a flash, times have changed, and the former drama directors can't escape the influence of commercialization. They have begun to get involved in the development of IP dramas, and have cooperated with several well-known "fresh meat" actors.

Yes——Lu Li suddenly began to realize that if everything is as An Huawen said, he is destined to bow to commercialization... Then, under the guidance of director Li Haowen, he can try to make it happen in a conditional and measured manner. Change.

The author has something to say: the title and abstract are an ancient allusion, and this article is chosen because Tsai Chin has a song called "A Love Letter to a Filmmaker", which uses the allusion of a dream in a dream.

Unknowingly, four years have passed, all wounds have begun to heal, and all hearts have begun to find a home.All stories also have an end.

However, there is still a plot in the drama bone, which should not end casually before the Lantern Festival...
