Glory of Rebirth 1989
Chapter 4
What do I have to say before you open the door. . . .I love you, I love you, I love you, me. . . . "
Lin Yao looked at the other party's black eyes that reflected light in the dark, tentatively held Zheng Shaorong's hand under the chair, and waited anxiously for five seconds. Seeing that the other party still did not refuse, he moved to his ear with a little anxiety "Cary, I love you, I love you, I love you...I...love you..." said ten sentences.
Zheng Shaorong kept smiling and didn't respond, as if he didn't hear it at all, but Lin Yao clearly felt a force coming from the palm of his hand. Afterwards, the two held hands and watched the movie silently, without talking again, until the 90 minutes passed, and the headlights He opened it without letting go, and the tightly held palm conveyed warmth.
At the end of the film, Zheng Shaorong took off his scarf to cover half of Lin Yao's face, and put on a mask himself so that the fans who had just watched The Gambler would not recognize him.
The Land Rover was parked on the parking lot of the movie theater. Lin Yao sent Zheng Shaorong all the way downstairs to his house. Instead of going upstairs, Zheng Shaorong got out of the car and walked to the cab, with one hand on the half-opened car window, looking at nothing. Lin Yao, who was motionless, smiled and asked, "Aren't you going to sit down?"
"Would you like to go up and have a sit?" Lin Yao admitted that he was shocked by these words. He came downstairs to Zheng's house many times, but failed to enter the door once. He was very eager to follow him upstairs and go home, but really At this time, on the contrary, he was afraid that the other party would be too abrupt and did not dare to act rashly.
"Heh~" Zheng Shaorong couldn't help but smile when he saw Lin Yao wanting to get up but looking forward and backward.In the past, if I made an appointment with a partner, if I uttered such words similar to an invitation, the other party would have already followed, how could I be like Lin Yao?
Just as Lin Yao made up his mind to fight this time even if people would hate him, and was about to turn off the ignition and pull out the key to follow him upstairs, he instead stretched out his hand into the car window and stopped Lin Yao's arm from pulling out the key, "Okay, Brother Rong just Just kidding, I'll give you a chance, what's the date today?"
"Two...Number 28" Lin Yao was a little excited, his left hand tightly gripped the steering wheel, how could he forget this classic line from the story of "Days of Hooligans" just now?
Zheng Shaorong's upper body leaned close to the half-opened car window, almost sticking to Lin Yao's ear and whispered, "Number 28...December 28, 1." He raised his hand and glanced at his watch. Yao suddenly felt that A Fei in the screen came down alive and stood in front of him, and after teasing several women's hearts, he came to tease himself again, "One minute before eight o'clock in the evening, you and I were together, today we are lovers for one minute, One minute has passed."
The last sentence was different from the lines. Lin Yao was a little nervous, and his hand holding the steering wheel was even tighter, so that his knuckles were a little white. He didn't know what he would say in the next sentence, but he was still rejected?There is obviously progress today, why is it still. . .
"The past 1 minute has become the past tense. Want to date me? I don't have a date next month. If you want to perform well, you can come and ask me out..."
"Come to date me... come to date me... come to date me..." Zheng Shaorong's low voice kept echoing in Lin Yao's ears and mind, and the warm breath stained his earlobe, full of ambiguity, longing for it for a long time Lin Yao finally responded, but Lin Yao became shy instead, looking left and right, not daring to see the other party clearly, his ears and cheeks were red like fire, he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart that it was getting late, and no one else knew about his embarrassment.
The breath left suddenly, waking Lin Yao up from his embarrassment. He looked up and found that Zheng Shaorong was already standing at the entrance of the corridor and waved goodbye to himself, "Go back early, I will wait for you at home tomorrow." The posture of making a phone call "callme~."
"Hey~~~" Watching Zheng Shaorong go upstairs, Lin Yao couldn't help pumping his fist excitedly. When starting the car, his hands trembled so much that he missed the keyhole many times. He simply threw the key aside, leaned over the steering wheel and laughed loudly, "Heh ??hahahahahahaha...yeah!~" It took 10 minutes for the laughter to calm down, and the corners of the lips couldn't stop curling up when they touched the key to start the car and left.
On the night of returning home, Lin Yao was restless and didn't sleep well all night. He got up at dawn and dug out all the clothes in the closet. Cleaned the beard stubble and straightened it for more than half an hour.Get yourself in good spirits.Go out and buy good gifts.After estimating the time, Zheng Shaorong had almost woken up, so he called to wake him up at the phone booth downstairs of his house.
"Brother Rong, are you awake?" Lin Yao put the phone on his shoulders, looked up at the opposite balcony, "I'm downstairs and opposite to your house..." The voice from the other end of the phone was a bit vague, as if he had just woken up, with A bit sexy and lazy "Well, I just woke up, wait a minute..." "No hurry, Brother Rong, take your time..."
Lin Yao didn't leave the phone booth after hanging up, but kept looking upstairs. About 2 minutes later, the heavy curtains that had been covering the floor-to-ceiling balcony were pulled open, and Zheng Shaorong was sleeping with slightly disheveled hair and only a white shirt on. Robe leaned out, stood on the balcony stretched his arms and twisted his waist to loosen his muscles and bones, while looking downstairs to search for Lin Yao's figure.
"Hi~~" Lin Yao greeted the other party, who was attracted by the car he parked downstairs and looked across the road, put two fingers together between his eyebrows and moved upwards, his eyelashes curled up in the direction of his fingers, he was shocked The man throws a wink.
"Heh..." Lin Yao made fun of Zheng Shaorong by playing tricks, so he simply reached out his hand to the sky as a gesture of acceptance, then bent down and lifted his legs to throw it back to Lin Yao in a throwing posture, ignoring Lin Yao's pretending to hold his chest With a heartbroken expression, he turned and went to the room to wash up.
Not long after, Lin Yao, who had already returned to the car, saw Zheng Shaorong coming down the corridor dressed in a refreshed manner, and rushed to hug him, "Brother Rong, do you have any comments on the itinerary, if not, I will arrange the whole process."
In 89, the Hong Kong paparazzi were not rampant enough, and in fact he did not come to this property very often. Lin Yao failed to wait for him several times, and the paparazzi may not be able to find him, so today's behavior is a bit casual, not in a hurry Breaking free from Lin Yao's arms, he stretched out his hand and patted Lin Yao's back, "It's your first date with me today, so it's up to you to decide, and I don't have any opinions."
Lin Yao was extremely happy, and took out two air tickets from his pocket and handed them over, "Last night, I thought about it for a long time. Brother Rong in Hong Kong should get tired of playing. Now that the weather is turning cold again, why don't we go abroad to escape the cold."
Zheng Shaorong glanced at Hawaii, the destination on the ticket. After a year of hard work, he really felt quite tired and needed rest, seaside, beach, and sunbathing.With the bikini girl, although the last item didn't attract him much, and there was no lack of going out for leisure, so he didn't refuse. He just went upstairs to take out his passport. Apart from that, the two of them didn't carry any luggage and set off without any restraint. Fly to America.
Kacha, Kacha~ Lin Yao fiddled with the Leica film SLR camera in his hand, and kept taking pictures of Zheng Shaorong beside him, just because the protagonist was him, and there was no need to adjust the aperture or shutter, no matter whether he was sitting or standing, the image was blurry or clear, and the result was perfect. Each one is comparable to an art poster.
"Okay, it's fine..." Shaorong snatched the camera lying under the beach umbrella and replaced it with sunscreen oil, "It's serious to put on sunscreen for me. Count how many films you murdered in the past two days, until now They still refuse to let it go." It was already the second day when they arrived in Hawaii, and on the first day they arrived at Linyao and rented a seaside villa from an economic company.Unexpectedly, he showed the English proficiency of the young and Dangerous youngsters for a while, and then he did nothing good. He held a camera and pretended to be a photographer to take pictures all day long, and he especially liked to secretly take pictures of himself.
Lin Yao stared wide-eyed and pretended to be tender, looking innocently at Uncle Zheng, holding the sunscreen in both hands, imitating the eunuchs in later Qing palace dramas, kneeling on one knee while pinching his throat, "Zha~Xiao Linzi respectfully obeys the imperial decree."
"Cough..." Zheng Shaorong was half-drinking the juice at the moment, and he was stunned by Lin Yao's artificial expression, and he managed to stop the other party's eagerness to play tricks with a glance, put on sunglasses, pointed at his back, and lay down on the beach mat.
[Naked back, put on sunscreen, very. .base. . .Affection. . .ah. . .There is wood there~~]
Lin Yao took back the various theaters that were flying around in his head, and obediently knelt down beside Zheng Shaorong to spread the sunscreen for him. As soon as he touched it, he felt the firm texture of the skin and muscle lines under his hands. He just calmed down and couldn't help it. It's hard to believe that the other party is already a man in his early thirties.
Accepting Lin Yao's meticulous anointing, or mopping service, Zheng Shaorong's biological clock, which had not been corrected, began to function, and he felt dizzy and almost fell asleep.

9. Fright Night...
"Hey buddy, nice company..."
The sunlight in front of Lin Yao's eyes was suddenly completely blocked. Following the sound, he saw a strong black man who was at least two meters tall and looked like an iron tower, holding a long-haired and somewhat feminine yellow youth standing in front of his parasol, "My name is Bob, how about we switch partners?"
I don’t know why, but among Western gays, the yellow 0 is extremely popular. As a member of the “Coblen Family”, one of the five major gangster families in New York, Bob has always liked to play with young people from the East. He can easily get it, but it’s just a one-time game. Forget it, if the other party resists, oh~ God bless, he will never let it go easily.One time, an illegal Korean immigrant refused Bob's courtship. Bob called his family members and locked him in the basement. He staged a scene of sodomy with hundreds of people. After the other party died, he even donated his body to the piranhas he bred. For rations, the skeleton is still lying at the bottom of the fish tank as one of the decorations.
He committed a small crime in New York, and was sent by his godfather to Hawaii to avoid the limelight. He hooked up with him in a bar when he first arrived in Hawaii, but he saw two oriental youths rubbing sunscreen together intimately on the beach. The head can't see the face clearly, the guy lying on the beach mat in front of Bob's line of sight seems to be a beauty?Bob's lustful heart was ready to move, and he couldn't help coming forward to strike up a conversation.
In exchange for your sister, Lin Yao has never touched a finger of Zheng Shaorong so far, how could he be happy to be touched by this guy in front of him, even if he is obsessive, he really wants Hai Bian, an idiot, but Qianglong still doesn’t overwhelm the snake Well, in a foreign country, Lin Yao still resisted the urge to get angry, raised his head and forced a smile at the other party, "Thank you, we are not interested in this kind of exchange."
Another beauty. . .Seeing Lin Yao looking up, Bob's eyes darkened, and his heart felt more like being scratched by a cat. He decided in his heart that he must get both of them. However, it is hard to do it now because he is on the beach where people come and go. I had to endure the impulse for the time being.He beckoned to his subordinates who were following far behind to bite their ears, and gave instructions like this, and so on.
Lin Yao finished applying sunscreen for Zheng Shaorong, who was sleeping deeply on the beach mat, and was a little sleepy by the comfortable sea breeze. He fell on the beach chair next to him, half asleep and half asleep, and was about to fall asleep.
Based on his sensitivity to hostility over the years, he always felt that there were unkind eyes cast on himself and Zheng Shaorong from time to time. He looked around, and within 20 meters, except for the black man who had just talked to him, Bob was facing him. The young man of the yellow race went up and down his hands, but he didn't see a single figure. He wondered if the other party should not hold grudges for such a trivial matter. He shook his head and continued to close his eyes to rest his mind.
It was getting late, and the warm Hawaiian sun was slowly disappearing from the sea level. The tourists on the beach were gradually leaving. Both of them had a good rest. Lin Yao got up and changed to a prone position and lay back on the chair, with his arms resting on his chin alternately. His eyelashes are half-closed to enjoy the beautiful sunset, and the dark red rays are scattered on his body. From a distance, it looks like a jaguar that strayed into the seashore is taking a rest.
Zheng Shaorong supported his chin with one hand, turned his head to look at Lin Yao, and felt that it would be good to live on like this.Stretching out the other hand through his black hair to smooth the fur of the jaguar, Lin Yao raised his head suddenly, his eyes sparkling and approached the jaguar, he just missed licking his cheek, and Zheng Shaorong witnessed with his own eyes a feline attacking a large Canine Transformation.Well, the people are actually nice. .
The loving interaction between the two beauties caused Bob, who had been watching for a long time, to be agitated. Seeing that the two were packing up and planning to leave the beach, he signaled to the waiting men to go down far away and inquire about their residence.
The rented villa is not big. The whole house is made of logs. The facilities are more comfortable than luxurious. The whereabouts were found.Lin Yao originally planned to fly to Times Square in New York on the second day to spend the New Year with Zheng Shaorong, even though he found out that someone was following him, he did not expose it out of the mood of going out to relax and not wanting to cause trouble.
That night, Lin Yao half leaned on the sofa, pressing the switch button with one hand at random, and it was either a sports program or a soap opera in a circle, while Zheng Shaorong was lazily leaning on the other side, flipping through fashion magazines, and there was only news coming from the TV in the space for a while. Birds were singing, but the two enjoyed the peaceful feeling.
Sometimes, when others give you a foot, others may not give you a foot. If you don't want to cause trouble, trouble will come.The safe environment was broken by the door slamming open. In the afternoon, the strong black man Bob on the beach with a dozen people of various colors stood in front of the opened door and greeted the two people in the room, "Hi~Oriental Beauty~"
Zheng Shaorong's magazine fell to the ground, obviously a little frightened.When Bob came to strike up a conversation in the afternoon, he was already in a drowsy sleep. Lin Yao felt that there was nothing to say about this matter, so he didn't tell him.Seeing such a group of people suddenly use violent means to enter the hall, no one would think that their intentions are so good.
"Hi~ buddy" Lin Yao was well prepared, and he was not frightened. Instead, he dropped the remote control and waved to the group of people in a natural and unrestrained way, "Have you not stopped your dirty thoughts?"
Bob stared at Lin Yao three inches below the navel with lewd eyes, "nonono~ stingy guy, look at me"
He posed in a classic Arnold Schwarzenegger pose, showing off the bulging muscle lines on his arms, and his lower body moved obscenely twice to simulate some kind of piston movement
"Compared to your small body, I'm obviously more able to bring pleasure to your partner, isn't it? Oh, no~ I've changed my mind now, I believe I can give you both pleasure at the same time."
Lin Yao, who had been insulted twice, had a cold light in his eyes. He couldn't bear it anymore, he didn't need to bear it anymore. He tensed his muscles and calmed down, ready to fight at any time. Bob, who didn't know the imminent disaster, walked in front of Lin Yao, and took out a pannier from his armpit. The Beretta 92F pistol with the metal cold light was pressed vigorously between the eyebrows of Lin Yao, who was only up to his shoulders. The huge height difference made him feel like a lion teasing its prey, or a little white rabbit before eating. , This sense of superiority in strength made him reveal his thoughts unabashedly.
"Lion Bob suggested that the little white rabbits think carefully, do you want this gun in my hand, or the gun below? How about giving you ten seconds to think about it? Ten, nine..."
Usually Bob uses this trick, no one will choose the former, even if they usually regret it at the last moment, it is better to choose death at the beginning.
If Zheng Shaorong was only a little frightened just now, he is frightened now. He is staring at the muzzle of the gun on Lin Yao's forehead, his whole body is stiff. .
This is not film and TV, but real gangsters and live ammunition.Asian countries have some control over arms. Ordinary firearms are cold weapons. Few people use firearms. However, American gangsters are affected by the freedom of arms trading. When firearms are used, pistols are only child’s play. Automatic rifles, semi-automatic rifles, Even heavy weapons are not uncommon.
"Don't be like this, relax, relax..." Lin Yao felt Zheng Shaorong's uneasiness, listened to the count in his ear, raised his hand to hold the dark pistol, but the other hand was behind his back
The corners of Bob's mouth curled up, which is usually the prelude to the other party's compromise.
Taking advantage of the moment when the black man relaxed his vigilance, Lin Yao instantly erupted with unimaginable strength, snatched the pistol and put it on Bob's heart, and repeated what the other party said, "Dude, Hongmen Lin Yao suggests that you seriously think about it. , Do you want this gun in my hand, or take your men and get out! How about giving you five seconds to think about it? Five...four...three..."
"Fuck off, don't shoot..." Bob, who was smiling very complacently just now, was dripping with cold sweat. He thought that the other party was just two tourists from the East with no background, so he was quite arrogant, but who knew that this person was one size shorter than himself The guy in the head is so quick and gangster too.
Hongmen originates from the Tiandihui, and its power has developed in the United States for more than a hundred years. The American branch Zhigongtang once assisted Sun Yat-sen, Chiang Kai-shek, Mao and other forces. After such a long development, it has penetrated the upper, middle and lower levels of society. Recently, a group of special forces who retreated from the foreign wars in the Chinese mainland joined them. They used fighting techniques on the battlefield, coordinated operations, and attacked viciously. Also dare not block its edge.He hid in Hawaii because of his vulgar words, he offended the big boss of the court, and the other party made harsh words to make him look good, so he left New York in despair.Who would have thought that he would run into someone from the Hongmen here again, and now he was afraid that the other party would inform the upper echelon of his whereabouts, and some other people who had no thoughts would be wiped out by the black muzzle of the gun.
Lin Yao lowered his wrist, aimed at Bob's feet, and pulled the trigger. The moment the gunshot rang out, he shouted, "Get out!" It clearly shows how dangerous the room was just now.
"Yao Tsai?..." Knowing that Lin Yao was not hurt, Zheng Shaorong couldn't help being startled. He stepped forward to carefully check that there was no injury on his whole body before he heaved a sigh of relief. Press the brows with a circular indentation.
Lin Yao smiled consolingly at Zheng Shaorong, and pressed the palm he was stroking on his forehead, "It's okay, Brother Rong, you have to believe in my ability, and I can definitely protect myself and...you."
As a man, Zheng Shaorong has grown up to such an age, and he has rarely heard anyone say he wants to protect him. This kind of feeling of weakness makes him a little unaccustomed, but he has to admit that he is a little happy and warm in his heart.
The crisis that happened at night can only be regarded as a small episode, and they still need to catch a plane to Times Square in New York the next day.

10. Chinese New Year in Times Square...
Times Square should actually be called Times Square, because the translation was wrong in the early years, and Chinese people like to call him Times Square.It is located in the Manhattan neighborhood of New York. Although it has the word square, it is not an empty space or a park in people's impression. It is a densely populated crossroads. It has been the most prosperous commercial place in New York for nearly a century. Especially in New Year's Eve, the New Year's countdown to the New Year's fireworks that has continued since 1907 has made it even more popular.
However, in 1989, it was not a classic neighborhood where future generations of tourists could stroll and shop at will. In 1989, Times Square, the red light district, beggars, robbers, and out-of-control gang fights were its true face, perhaps You are walking side by side with strangers on this avenue, and suddenly there is a sound of firecrackers, but the United States does not have the habit of setting off firecrackers. If you follow the sound and commotion, you will find that the stranger beside you just now has been lying on the street with blood on the ground.It wasn't until 1993 that Mayor Giuliani, who was an Italian prosecutor, shut down the red-light district, suppressed gang activities, and developed the tourism industry. Under his iron-handed rectification, the current Times Square came into being.
It is now ten o'clock in the evening on the 31st, Lin Yao and Zheng Shaorong are walking side by side in this bustling but dangerous neighborhood.Of course, the New Year's celebration will naturally increase the police protection of the New York police. As long as you don't cause trouble, or get into the dark branching alleys, generally speaking, there will be no problem.
"Dear Sir, Happy New Year, for God's sake, do me a favor and give me a coin~" The vagrants begging on the side of the road, begging every well-dressed passerby one by one, riding on the surge of New Year's crowds.Wandering entertainers and painters squatted in front of their drawing boards and musical instruments to display their skills, and used higher-level methods to earn living expenses.
No matter what they got here for, as witnesses to their first journey, they deserve gifts and blessings.At least Lin Yao thought so, so every time he passed a homeless or beggar, he would take out the few coins in his pocket and throw them into their tin cans and hats.
Zheng Shaorong looked at Lin Yao's actions with some puzzlement, Lin Yao shrugged his shoulders, and solved his confusion, "Of course, I am not a bad person, I just repay the person who gave us blessings a little bit."
At this moment, Lin Yao suddenly heard a familiar melody amidst the noisy noise, followed the sound and saw a 60-year-old Asian old man playing the electronic piano on the side of the road, surrounded by a circle of black and white people, but There was no props for holding coins in front of him. The two walked up to him and listened carefully. Zheng Shaorong couldn't quite understand it, but Lin Yao immediately recognized what music it was. . .
It was the "Chinese Heart" that was sung at the Spring Festival Gala of Chaotingtai in 1984, and became popular all over the world. Although Lin Yao didn't understand why the old man kept repeating this song during the New Year in a foreign country, but in the spirit of the same It is the mentality of the Chinese people. He intends to take out coins from his pocket and put them down in front of the man. His hands fumbled in his pockets for a while, but he couldn’t find anything. Obviously, when he was doing good deeds all the way, all the coins had been lost. It spread out unconsciously, and he simply took out his wallet, took out a hundred dollars and squatted down to place it on the pile of coins.
As the large banknotes fell to the ground, the Asian old man looked up at them. He couldn't tell what expression was on his face, and asked in Chinese, "Do you understand?"
Lin Yao responded with a smile, "I understand a little bit."
The old man looked very happy, his wrinkled face sculpted by wind knife and frost sword wrinkled many folds, "Can you sing?"
"Um"
"Come, come, let's sing together." He dragged Lin Yao to the front of the portable speaker and microphone, played the prelude again, and sang loudly facing people of different skin colors all over the street.
"The rivers and mountains are only in my dreams. The motherland has not been close to me for many years. Even if I was born in another country, I can't change it. My Chinese heart... the Great Wall of the Yangtze River, Huangshan and the Yellow River are precious in my heart..."
Lin Yao and the old man's chorus voice was not very pleasant, but there was an inexplicable strange power in it as he sang, Zheng Shaorong listened carefully for a while, and sang along with the melody to match it. Gradually, the chorus voice It's getting bigger and bigger, and there are no foreign races around, and I don't know when there is a circle of Chinese people. Everyone speaks the same language and sings the same song in a foreign country. Lin Yao's eyes are slightly moist, and he doesn't know what is going on in his heart What kind of emotion, since Yimeng returned to Hong Kong, he always felt that he was floating and had no roots.He thought, this root should be in the Celestial Dynasty, in the imperial capital, in the military compound where he grew up, and in the belts of his grandfather and father.He felt that he should do something for the motherland that raised him in his previous life, but he didn't know what he could do. Before the torrent of the times, his personal power was insignificant.
At this moment, the Chinese government is still ignorant of reforms in various difficulties. With the disintegration of the Soviet Union, this huge country has been walking on the path of its own choice since then. There are no friends around, only enemies.
"Crack, click..." When Lin Yao was indulging in self-blame, he was suddenly so stimulated by the dazzling silver light that he couldn't open his eyes. A group of Asians held their cameras and equipment and approached Lin Yao. Special correspondent stationed in New York, did you make an appointment beforehand to sing this song in a foreign country?"
Zheng Shaorong is familiar with the bureaucratic accent, and he answered the reporter's question easily, "We are just strangers who came to visit the New Year's event in Times Square. The Chinese's deep yearning for the motherland is indelible, and they spontaneously gathered together to express their hearts." After speaking, Zheng Shaorong, who didn't know why, hurriedly squeezed through the crowd and left while the reporter went to interview other people.
Just now singing with others has been filmed. Lin Yao is very familiar with the new H agency. The news will definitely be sent back to the mainland and published on the official media. Lin Yao even thought of the title "Overseas Chinese miss the motherland" for them , gathered in Times Square to sing "China Heart"
He has only played tricks a few times, not many people recognize him, and Zheng Shaorong is different, no matter Hong Kong or China, there are not few people who recognize him.It is foreseeable that after this news is discovered by the local media, what kind of uproar will be caused. HK people are afraid of returning ten years later. To be seen, especially public figures.
Lin Yao didn't care, he was originally from the Celestial Dynasty in Hong Kong's skin, and he didn't care about being pro-inner and British, but he felt that he couldn't implicate Zheng Shaorong, as an artist, he shouldn't be classified into that school.
"I'm sorry." Lin Yao felt extremely apologetic when he came to an area where the crowds were a little less crowded. "After the reports of that group of reporters, I think that maybe you will be labeled as pro-Chinese in the future."
Zheng Shaorong didn't show any expression, he was neither worried nor angry, he seemed extremely calm "I just follow my heart and sing with others, if they want to report, they can report casually, I have been in the entertainment industry for so many years, I don't believe my career will be affected by this What are the effects."
"Really, I'm sorry..." If Zheng Shaorong was really rejected by Hong Kong people because of this, Lin Yao thought that he would not be able to atone for his sins even if he died, he should do something, and if he lost the box office in Hong Kong, he should get more opportunities for him, Even if he loses his popularity in Hong Kong, he should also gain more love for him.This combined with his feeling of powerlessness when recalling his previous life gave birth to an idea. Lin Yao asked Zheng Shaorong word by word, "I am not a good director, and I have never made any blockbuster films. This time I plan to take it seriously. Do you want to be my hero?"
Before Lin Yao finished speaking, the surrounding crowd started to commotion, "The time is coming, ten, nine, eight, seven, six..." Lin Yao and Zheng Shaorong looked up at the second hand on the big clock in Times Square at the same time.
"Three, two, one... happynewyear!" Fireworks of various colors erupted from Times Square and went straight into the night sky. Balloons of various colors fell from the sky, and people cheered loudly, jumping and shuttling among the crowd. face.
Zheng Shaorong turned his head to look at Lin Yao who was standing beside him quietly waiting for his answer. The light from the side made his outline look very deep, his eyes were full of determination and seriousness, his thin lips were tightly pressed, revealing a little uneasiness and nervousness.He never thought that before the last era of the twentieth century, there would be someone who would say to him, "Do you want to be my hero..."
"Okay..." Zheng Shaorong pulled Lin Yao's palm to meet his gaze, and answered again at the same speed as Lin Yao's question, "I promise you."
At that moment, the crowded crowd in the square seemed to disappear, and there were only two people in the world.

11. Cohabitation...

It is hard for a person whose coding speed is only [-] words per hour
The two spent an exotic New Year's Eve in New York. When the parade crowd was about to disperse, Lin Yao took Zheng Shaorong to find an artist who set up a stall on the street to buy paintings, and spent fifty dollars and twenty minutes in exchange for a two people sketch.Although the painter was down and out, he probably still had some skills. The clasped palms of the two, and the subtle expressions at that time, were all truly recorded on the rough and thick drawing paper. Lin Yao thought that they should have a house, and he should Hang this picture in the house as a testimony to their first New Years together.
In the following days, Lin Yao felt very happy. Although there was no physical entanglement, the spirits of the two began to become compatible. For a whole month, he and the other party were indulging in this rare and pleasant feeling. inside.They rented a car in New York and traveled a lot.They listened to country music and rock music on the radio, and left footprints in the yellow sand and wheat fields in the west.Although half of this day is spent on the long interstate highway in the United States, it really couldn't be more beautiful.
Zheng Shaorong thought he might be crazy, he just told the manager that he needed to take a short break to travel, and then he disappeared for a whole month, not caring about the schedule, not caring about the promotion, not caring about anything, temporarily breaking free, not an artist, I'm not an actor, I don't need to be perfect, I just live as myself and simply immerse myself in the joy of exile.If he hadn't been afraid that his agent would think that he had been contacted by an accident such as disappearance, kidnapping, etc., according to the original itinerary, he estimated that he might have to return to Hong Kong for another month before he knew that he had won the title of actor for the first time in his life.At this time, most of the sights worth visiting on the map of the United States have been crossed by them, and it is time to go back.
In the cold early spring, they were not recognized when they came out of the airport wrapped up tightly. When they left Hong Kong earlier, the car was parked on the parking lot of the airport. After a month of wind and rain, they wrapped up There was a thin layer of dust.
When they left, they packed lightly and returned with a full load. Lin Yao brought souvenirs of their trip this month, various folk ornaments, Indian head feathers, especially New York New Year’s sketches and twenty or thirty used film rolls. , carefully put them into the trunk of the car.Afterwards, he needed to visit the company, while Zheng Shaorong needed to accept the trophies he hadn't received personally and be interviewed by the media. He sent Zheng Shaorong downstairs, and quickly absconded before the other party opened his mouth.
Lin Yao drove to the company to see the final box office of the Gambler, affected by the impact of "Days of Being Wild", it was more than the 2000 million estimated by others, but slightly less than the 4000 million he expected, but it was just over 3000 million.
Unlike Lin Yao who had too high expectations, the small-budget film can recover more than ten times the cost at the box office. Guoxing Company and Xiang Qiang were so surprised that the films that Xiang Qiang invested in earlier were not so profitable. It is more profitable than the routes in Southeast Asia, but it is a pity that this kind of situation is rare. Otherwise, it is more profitable to go the right way than to do Southeast Asia. Who would do the traditional business of clubs that discount blessings.
Also because of the unexpectedly high box office, the crew got a big red envelope when Lin Yao was away, especially the protagonist Zhou Xingchi. The remuneration he negotiated with Guoxing company before was not a fixed price buyout, but a percentage share , After the settlement, he won nearly 300 million Hong Kong dollars for an unknown role, which is not far behind the first-line remuneration.
The reason for this result is that Lin Yao admitted that it was his own selfishness. He couldn't forget Zhou Xingchi's ill-fitting dress and downcast expression when he opened the business. He shouldn't be like this.So when I met Zhou Xingchi again, the other party obviously felt much better, chatting with the company employees in high spirits, at least from his clothes, it could be seen that this relatively huge sum of money was first used by him to improve his living conditions.Chatted with Zhou Xingchi for a few words, took a stroll around to announce that he had returned, the company's publicity department had a complete set of printing equipment and a darkroom, Lin Yao simply took the film to the company to find someone to develop it, these things must be handled by people with tight mouths.
As soon as the door of the Propaganda Department office was opened, the manager in charge quickly put down the matter at hand and greeted him with a courteous smile, "Brother Yao! Rare visitor, you have come to the Propaganda Department, it really makes me shine."
"Uncle Zhao, don't, Yaozi can't take it..." Lin Yao stopped the manager who personally brought him tea and water. He recognized this person.
Lin Yao looked at the other party's black eyes that reflected light in the dark, tentatively held Zheng Shaorong's hand under the chair, and waited anxiously for five seconds. Seeing that the other party still did not refuse, he moved to his ear with a little anxiety "Cary, I love you, I love you, I love you...I...love you..." said ten sentences.
Zheng Shaorong kept smiling and didn't respond, as if he didn't hear it at all, but Lin Yao clearly felt a force coming from the palm of his hand. Afterwards, the two held hands and watched the movie silently, without talking again, until the 90 minutes passed, and the headlights He opened it without letting go, and the tightly held palm conveyed warmth.
At the end of the film, Zheng Shaorong took off his scarf to cover half of Lin Yao's face, and put on a mask himself so that the fans who had just watched The Gambler would not recognize him.
The Land Rover was parked on the parking lot of the movie theater. Lin Yao sent Zheng Shaorong all the way downstairs to his house. Instead of going upstairs, Zheng Shaorong got out of the car and walked to the cab, with one hand on the half-opened car window, looking at nothing. Lin Yao, who was motionless, smiled and asked, "Aren't you going to sit down?"
"Would you like to go up and have a sit?" Lin Yao admitted that he was shocked by these words. He came downstairs to Zheng's house many times, but failed to enter the door once. He was very eager to follow him upstairs and go home, but really At this time, on the contrary, he was afraid that the other party would be too abrupt and did not dare to act rashly.
"Heh~" Zheng Shaorong couldn't help but smile when he saw Lin Yao wanting to get up but looking forward and backward.In the past, if I made an appointment with a partner, if I uttered such words similar to an invitation, the other party would have already followed, how could I be like Lin Yao?
Just as Lin Yao made up his mind to fight this time even if people would hate him, and was about to turn off the ignition and pull out the key to follow him upstairs, he instead stretched out his hand into the car window and stopped Lin Yao's arm from pulling out the key, "Okay, Brother Rong just Just kidding, I'll give you a chance, what's the date today?"
"Two...Number 28" Lin Yao was a little excited, his left hand tightly gripped the steering wheel, how could he forget this classic line from the story of "Days of Hooligans" just now?
Zheng Shaorong's upper body leaned close to the half-opened car window, almost sticking to Lin Yao's ear and whispered, "Number 28...December 28, 1." He raised his hand and glanced at his watch. Yao suddenly felt that A Fei in the screen came down alive and stood in front of him, and after teasing several women's hearts, he came to tease himself again, "One minute before eight o'clock in the evening, you and I were together, today we are lovers for one minute, One minute has passed."
The last sentence was different from the lines. Lin Yao was a little nervous, and his hand holding the steering wheel was even tighter, so that his knuckles were a little white. He didn't know what he would say in the next sentence, but he was still rejected?There is obviously progress today, why is it still. . .
"The past 1 minute has become the past tense. Want to date me? I don't have a date next month. If you want to perform well, you can come and ask me out..."
"Come to date me... come to date me... come to date me..." Zheng Shaorong's low voice kept echoing in Lin Yao's ears and mind, and the warm breath stained his earlobe, full of ambiguity, longing for it for a long time Lin Yao finally responded, but Lin Yao became shy instead, looking left and right, not daring to see the other party clearly, his ears and cheeks were red like fire, he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart that it was getting late, and no one else knew about his embarrassment.
The breath left suddenly, waking Lin Yao up from his embarrassment. He looked up and found that Zheng Shaorong was already standing at the entrance of the corridor and waved goodbye to himself, "Go back early, I will wait for you at home tomorrow." The posture of making a phone call "callme~."
"Hey~~~" Watching Zheng Shaorong go upstairs, Lin Yao couldn't help pumping his fist excitedly. When starting the car, his hands trembled so much that he missed the keyhole many times. He simply threw the key aside, leaned over the steering wheel and laughed loudly, "Heh ??hahahahahahaha...yeah!~" It took 10 minutes for the laughter to calm down, and the corners of the lips couldn't stop curling up when they touched the key to start the car and left.
On the night of returning home, Lin Yao was restless and didn't sleep well all night. He got up at dawn and dug out all the clothes in the closet. Cleaned the beard stubble and straightened it for more than half an hour.Get yourself in good spirits.Go out and buy good gifts.After estimating the time, Zheng Shaorong had almost woken up, so he called to wake him up at the phone booth downstairs of his house.
"Brother Rong, are you awake?" Lin Yao put the phone on his shoulders, looked up at the opposite balcony, "I'm downstairs and opposite to your house..." The voice from the other end of the phone was a bit vague, as if he had just woken up, with A bit sexy and lazy "Well, I just woke up, wait a minute..." "No hurry, Brother Rong, take your time..."
Lin Yao didn't leave the phone booth after hanging up, but kept looking upstairs. About 2 minutes later, the heavy curtains that had been covering the floor-to-ceiling balcony were pulled open, and Zheng Shaorong was sleeping with slightly disheveled hair and only a white shirt on. Robe leaned out, stood on the balcony stretched his arms and twisted his waist to loosen his muscles and bones, while looking downstairs to search for Lin Yao's figure.
"Hi~~" Lin Yao greeted the other party, who was attracted by the car he parked downstairs and looked across the road, put two fingers together between his eyebrows and moved upwards, his eyelashes curled up in the direction of his fingers, he was shocked The man throws a wink.
"Heh..." Lin Yao made fun of Zheng Shaorong by playing tricks, so he simply reached out his hand to the sky as a gesture of acceptance, then bent down and lifted his legs to throw it back to Lin Yao in a throwing posture, ignoring Lin Yao's pretending to hold his chest With a heartbroken expression, he turned and went to the room to wash up.
Not long after, Lin Yao, who had already returned to the car, saw Zheng Shaorong coming down the corridor dressed in a refreshed manner, and rushed to hug him, "Brother Rong, do you have any comments on the itinerary, if not, I will arrange the whole process."
In 89, the Hong Kong paparazzi were not rampant enough, and in fact he did not come to this property very often. Lin Yao failed to wait for him several times, and the paparazzi may not be able to find him, so today's behavior is a bit casual, not in a hurry Breaking free from Lin Yao's arms, he stretched out his hand and patted Lin Yao's back, "It's your first date with me today, so it's up to you to decide, and I don't have any opinions."
Lin Yao was extremely happy, and took out two air tickets from his pocket and handed them over, "Last night, I thought about it for a long time. Brother Rong in Hong Kong should get tired of playing. Now that the weather is turning cold again, why don't we go abroad to escape the cold."
Zheng Shaorong glanced at Hawaii, the destination on the ticket. After a year of hard work, he really felt quite tired and needed rest, seaside, beach, and sunbathing.With the bikini girl, although the last item didn't attract him much, and there was no lack of going out for leisure, so he didn't refuse. He just went upstairs to take out his passport. Apart from that, the two of them didn't carry any luggage and set off without any restraint. Fly to America.
Kacha, Kacha~ Lin Yao fiddled with the Leica film SLR camera in his hand, and kept taking pictures of Zheng Shaorong beside him, just because the protagonist was him, and there was no need to adjust the aperture or shutter, no matter whether he was sitting or standing, the image was blurry or clear, and the result was perfect. Each one is comparable to an art poster.
"Okay, it's fine..." Shaorong snatched the camera lying under the beach umbrella and replaced it with sunscreen oil, "It's serious to put on sunscreen for me. Count how many films you murdered in the past two days, until now They still refuse to let it go." It was already the second day when they arrived in Hawaii, and on the first day they arrived at Linyao and rented a seaside villa from an economic company.Unexpectedly, he showed the English proficiency of the young and Dangerous youngsters for a while, and then he did nothing good. He held a camera and pretended to be a photographer to take pictures all day long, and he especially liked to secretly take pictures of himself.
Lin Yao stared wide-eyed and pretended to be tender, looking innocently at Uncle Zheng, holding the sunscreen in both hands, imitating the eunuchs in later Qing palace dramas, kneeling on one knee while pinching his throat, "Zha~Xiao Linzi respectfully obeys the imperial decree."
"Cough..." Zheng Shaorong was half-drinking the juice at the moment, and he was stunned by Lin Yao's artificial expression, and he managed to stop the other party's eagerness to play tricks with a glance, put on sunglasses, pointed at his back, and lay down on the beach mat.
[Naked back, put on sunscreen, very. .base. . .Affection. . .ah. . .There is wood there~~]
Lin Yao took back the various theaters that were flying around in his head, and obediently knelt down beside Zheng Shaorong to spread the sunscreen for him. As soon as he touched it, he felt the firm texture of the skin and muscle lines under his hands. He just calmed down and couldn't help it. It's hard to believe that the other party is already a man in his early thirties.
Accepting Lin Yao's meticulous anointing, or mopping service, Zheng Shaorong's biological clock, which had not been corrected, began to function, and he felt dizzy and almost fell asleep.

9. Fright Night...
"Hey buddy, nice company..."
The sunlight in front of Lin Yao's eyes was suddenly completely blocked. Following the sound, he saw a strong black man who was at least two meters tall and looked like an iron tower, holding a long-haired and somewhat feminine yellow youth standing in front of his parasol, "My name is Bob, how about we switch partners?"
I don’t know why, but among Western gays, the yellow 0 is extremely popular. As a member of the “Coblen Family”, one of the five major gangster families in New York, Bob has always liked to play with young people from the East. He can easily get it, but it’s just a one-time game. Forget it, if the other party resists, oh~ God bless, he will never let it go easily.One time, an illegal Korean immigrant refused Bob's courtship. Bob called his family members and locked him in the basement. He staged a scene of sodomy with hundreds of people. After the other party died, he even donated his body to the piranhas he bred. For rations, the skeleton is still lying at the bottom of the fish tank as one of the decorations.
He committed a small crime in New York, and was sent by his godfather to Hawaii to avoid the limelight. He hooked up with him in a bar when he first arrived in Hawaii, but he saw two oriental youths rubbing sunscreen together intimately on the beach. The head can't see the face clearly, the guy lying on the beach mat in front of Bob's line of sight seems to be a beauty?Bob's lustful heart was ready to move, and he couldn't help coming forward to strike up a conversation.
In exchange for your sister, Lin Yao has never touched a finger of Zheng Shaorong so far, how could he be happy to be touched by this guy in front of him, even if he is obsessive, he really wants Hai Bian, an idiot, but Qianglong still doesn’t overwhelm the snake Well, in a foreign country, Lin Yao still resisted the urge to get angry, raised his head and forced a smile at the other party, "Thank you, we are not interested in this kind of exchange."
Another beauty. . .Seeing Lin Yao looking up, Bob's eyes darkened, and his heart felt more like being scratched by a cat. He decided in his heart that he must get both of them. However, it is hard to do it now because he is on the beach where people come and go. I had to endure the impulse for the time being.He beckoned to his subordinates who were following far behind to bite their ears, and gave instructions like this, and so on.
Lin Yao finished applying sunscreen for Zheng Shaorong, who was sleeping deeply on the beach mat, and was a little sleepy by the comfortable sea breeze. He fell on the beach chair next to him, half asleep and half asleep, and was about to fall asleep.
Based on his sensitivity to hostility over the years, he always felt that there were unkind eyes cast on himself and Zheng Shaorong from time to time. He looked around, and within 20 meters, except for the black man who had just talked to him, Bob was facing him. The young man of the yellow race went up and down his hands, but he didn't see a single figure. He wondered if the other party should not hold grudges for such a trivial matter. He shook his head and continued to close his eyes to rest his mind.
It was getting late, and the warm Hawaiian sun was slowly disappearing from the sea level. The tourists on the beach were gradually leaving. Both of them had a good rest. Lin Yao got up and changed to a prone position and lay back on the chair, with his arms resting on his chin alternately. His eyelashes are half-closed to enjoy the beautiful sunset, and the dark red rays are scattered on his body. From a distance, it looks like a jaguar that strayed into the seashore is taking a rest.
Zheng Shaorong supported his chin with one hand, turned his head to look at Lin Yao, and felt that it would be good to live on like this.Stretching out the other hand through his black hair to smooth the fur of the jaguar, Lin Yao raised his head suddenly, his eyes sparkling and approached the jaguar, he just missed licking his cheek, and Zheng Shaorong witnessed with his own eyes a feline attacking a large Canine Transformation.Well, the people are actually nice. .
The loving interaction between the two beauties caused Bob, who had been watching for a long time, to be agitated. Seeing that the two were packing up and planning to leave the beach, he signaled to the waiting men to go down far away and inquire about their residence.
The rented villa is not big. The whole house is made of logs. The facilities are more comfortable than luxurious. The whereabouts were found.Lin Yao originally planned to fly to Times Square in New York on the second day to spend the New Year with Zheng Shaorong, even though he found out that someone was following him, he did not expose it out of the mood of going out to relax and not wanting to cause trouble.
That night, Lin Yao half leaned on the sofa, pressing the switch button with one hand at random, and it was either a sports program or a soap opera in a circle, while Zheng Shaorong was lazily leaning on the other side, flipping through fashion magazines, and there was only news coming from the TV in the space for a while. Birds were singing, but the two enjoyed the peaceful feeling.
Sometimes, when others give you a foot, others may not give you a foot. If you don't want to cause trouble, trouble will come.The safe environment was broken by the door slamming open. In the afternoon, the strong black man Bob on the beach with a dozen people of various colors stood in front of the opened door and greeted the two people in the room, "Hi~Oriental Beauty~"
Zheng Shaorong's magazine fell to the ground, obviously a little frightened.When Bob came to strike up a conversation in the afternoon, he was already in a drowsy sleep. Lin Yao felt that there was nothing to say about this matter, so he didn't tell him.Seeing such a group of people suddenly use violent means to enter the hall, no one would think that their intentions are so good.
"Hi~ buddy" Lin Yao was well prepared, and he was not frightened. Instead, he dropped the remote control and waved to the group of people in a natural and unrestrained way, "Have you not stopped your dirty thoughts?"
Bob stared at Lin Yao three inches below the navel with lewd eyes, "nonono~ stingy guy, look at me"
He posed in a classic Arnold Schwarzenegger pose, showing off the bulging muscle lines on his arms, and his lower body moved obscenely twice to simulate some kind of piston movement
"Compared to your small body, I'm obviously more able to bring pleasure to your partner, isn't it? Oh, no~ I've changed my mind now, I believe I can give you both pleasure at the same time."
Lin Yao, who had been insulted twice, had a cold light in his eyes. He couldn't bear it anymore, he didn't need to bear it anymore. He tensed his muscles and calmed down, ready to fight at any time. Bob, who didn't know the imminent disaster, walked in front of Lin Yao, and took out a pannier from his armpit. The Beretta 92F pistol with the metal cold light was pressed vigorously between the eyebrows of Lin Yao, who was only up to his shoulders. The huge height difference made him feel like a lion teasing its prey, or a little white rabbit before eating. , This sense of superiority in strength made him reveal his thoughts unabashedly.
"Lion Bob suggested that the little white rabbits think carefully, do you want this gun in my hand, or the gun below? How about giving you ten seconds to think about it? Ten, nine..."
Usually Bob uses this trick, no one will choose the former, even if they usually regret it at the last moment, it is better to choose death at the beginning.
If Zheng Shaorong was only a little frightened just now, he is frightened now. He is staring at the muzzle of the gun on Lin Yao's forehead, his whole body is stiff. .
This is not film and TV, but real gangsters and live ammunition.Asian countries have some control over arms. Ordinary firearms are cold weapons. Few people use firearms. However, American gangsters are affected by the freedom of arms trading. When firearms are used, pistols are only child’s play. Automatic rifles, semi-automatic rifles, Even heavy weapons are not uncommon.
"Don't be like this, relax, relax..." Lin Yao felt Zheng Shaorong's uneasiness, listened to the count in his ear, raised his hand to hold the dark pistol, but the other hand was behind his back
The corners of Bob's mouth curled up, which is usually the prelude to the other party's compromise.
Taking advantage of the moment when the black man relaxed his vigilance, Lin Yao instantly erupted with unimaginable strength, snatched the pistol and put it on Bob's heart, and repeated what the other party said, "Dude, Hongmen Lin Yao suggests that you seriously think about it. , Do you want this gun in my hand, or take your men and get out! How about giving you five seconds to think about it? Five...four...three..."
"Fuck off, don't shoot..." Bob, who was smiling very complacently just now, was dripping with cold sweat. He thought that the other party was just two tourists from the East with no background, so he was quite arrogant, but who knew that this person was one size shorter than himself The guy in the head is so quick and gangster too.
Hongmen originates from the Tiandihui, and its power has developed in the United States for more than a hundred years. The American branch Zhigongtang once assisted Sun Yat-sen, Chiang Kai-shek, Mao and other forces. After such a long development, it has penetrated the upper, middle and lower levels of society. Recently, a group of special forces who retreated from the foreign wars in the Chinese mainland joined them. They used fighting techniques on the battlefield, coordinated operations, and attacked viciously. Also dare not block its edge.He hid in Hawaii because of his vulgar words, he offended the big boss of the court, and the other party made harsh words to make him look good, so he left New York in despair.Who would have thought that he would run into someone from the Hongmen here again, and now he was afraid that the other party would inform the upper echelon of his whereabouts, and some other people who had no thoughts would be wiped out by the black muzzle of the gun.
Lin Yao lowered his wrist, aimed at Bob's feet, and pulled the trigger. The moment the gunshot rang out, he shouted, "Get out!" It clearly shows how dangerous the room was just now.
"Yao Tsai?..." Knowing that Lin Yao was not hurt, Zheng Shaorong couldn't help being startled. He stepped forward to carefully check that there was no injury on his whole body before he heaved a sigh of relief. Press the brows with a circular indentation.
Lin Yao smiled consolingly at Zheng Shaorong, and pressed the palm he was stroking on his forehead, "It's okay, Brother Rong, you have to believe in my ability, and I can definitely protect myself and...you."
As a man, Zheng Shaorong has grown up to such an age, and he has rarely heard anyone say he wants to protect him. This kind of feeling of weakness makes him a little unaccustomed, but he has to admit that he is a little happy and warm in his heart.
The crisis that happened at night can only be regarded as a small episode, and they still need to catch a plane to Times Square in New York the next day.

10. Chinese New Year in Times Square...
Times Square should actually be called Times Square, because the translation was wrong in the early years, and Chinese people like to call him Times Square.It is located in the Manhattan neighborhood of New York. Although it has the word square, it is not an empty space or a park in people's impression. It is a densely populated crossroads. It has been the most prosperous commercial place in New York for nearly a century. Especially in New Year's Eve, the New Year's countdown to the New Year's fireworks that has continued since 1907 has made it even more popular.
However, in 1989, it was not a classic neighborhood where future generations of tourists could stroll and shop at will. In 1989, Times Square, the red light district, beggars, robbers, and out-of-control gang fights were its true face, perhaps You are walking side by side with strangers on this avenue, and suddenly there is a sound of firecrackers, but the United States does not have the habit of setting off firecrackers. If you follow the sound and commotion, you will find that the stranger beside you just now has been lying on the street with blood on the ground.It wasn't until 1993 that Mayor Giuliani, who was an Italian prosecutor, shut down the red-light district, suppressed gang activities, and developed the tourism industry. Under his iron-handed rectification, the current Times Square came into being.
It is now ten o'clock in the evening on the 31st, Lin Yao and Zheng Shaorong are walking side by side in this bustling but dangerous neighborhood.Of course, the New Year's celebration will naturally increase the police protection of the New York police. As long as you don't cause trouble, or get into the dark branching alleys, generally speaking, there will be no problem.
"Dear Sir, Happy New Year, for God's sake, do me a favor and give me a coin~" The vagrants begging on the side of the road, begging every well-dressed passerby one by one, riding on the surge of New Year's crowds.Wandering entertainers and painters squatted in front of their drawing boards and musical instruments to display their skills, and used higher-level methods to earn living expenses.
No matter what they got here for, as witnesses to their first journey, they deserve gifts and blessings.At least Lin Yao thought so, so every time he passed a homeless or beggar, he would take out the few coins in his pocket and throw them into their tin cans and hats.
Zheng Shaorong looked at Lin Yao's actions with some puzzlement, Lin Yao shrugged his shoulders, and solved his confusion, "Of course, I am not a bad person, I just repay the person who gave us blessings a little bit."
At this moment, Lin Yao suddenly heard a familiar melody amidst the noisy noise, followed the sound and saw a 60-year-old Asian old man playing the electronic piano on the side of the road, surrounded by a circle of black and white people, but There was no props for holding coins in front of him. The two walked up to him and listened carefully. Zheng Shaorong couldn't quite understand it, but Lin Yao immediately recognized what music it was. . .
It was the "Chinese Heart" that was sung at the Spring Festival Gala of Chaotingtai in 1984, and became popular all over the world. Although Lin Yao didn't understand why the old man kept repeating this song during the New Year in a foreign country, but in the spirit of the same It is the mentality of the Chinese people. He intends to take out coins from his pocket and put them down in front of the man. His hands fumbled in his pockets for a while, but he couldn’t find anything. Obviously, when he was doing good deeds all the way, all the coins had been lost. It spread out unconsciously, and he simply took out his wallet, took out a hundred dollars and squatted down to place it on the pile of coins.
As the large banknotes fell to the ground, the Asian old man looked up at them. He couldn't tell what expression was on his face, and asked in Chinese, "Do you understand?"
Lin Yao responded with a smile, "I understand a little bit."
The old man looked very happy, his wrinkled face sculpted by wind knife and frost sword wrinkled many folds, "Can you sing?"
"Um"
"Come, come, let's sing together." He dragged Lin Yao to the front of the portable speaker and microphone, played the prelude again, and sang loudly facing people of different skin colors all over the street.
"The rivers and mountains are only in my dreams. The motherland has not been close to me for many years. Even if I was born in another country, I can't change it. My Chinese heart... the Great Wall of the Yangtze River, Huangshan and the Yellow River are precious in my heart..."
Lin Yao and the old man's chorus voice was not very pleasant, but there was an inexplicable strange power in it as he sang, Zheng Shaorong listened carefully for a while, and sang along with the melody to match it. Gradually, the chorus voice It's getting bigger and bigger, and there are no foreign races around, and I don't know when there is a circle of Chinese people. Everyone speaks the same language and sings the same song in a foreign country. Lin Yao's eyes are slightly moist, and he doesn't know what is going on in his heart What kind of emotion, since Yimeng returned to Hong Kong, he always felt that he was floating and had no roots.He thought, this root should be in the Celestial Dynasty, in the imperial capital, in the military compound where he grew up, and in the belts of his grandfather and father.He felt that he should do something for the motherland that raised him in his previous life, but he didn't know what he could do. Before the torrent of the times, his personal power was insignificant.
At this moment, the Chinese government is still ignorant of reforms in various difficulties. With the disintegration of the Soviet Union, this huge country has been walking on the path of its own choice since then. There are no friends around, only enemies.
"Crack, click..." When Lin Yao was indulging in self-blame, he was suddenly so stimulated by the dazzling silver light that he couldn't open his eyes. A group of Asians held their cameras and equipment and approached Lin Yao. Special correspondent stationed in New York, did you make an appointment beforehand to sing this song in a foreign country?"
Zheng Shaorong is familiar with the bureaucratic accent, and he answered the reporter's question easily, "We are just strangers who came to visit the New Year's event in Times Square. The Chinese's deep yearning for the motherland is indelible, and they spontaneously gathered together to express their hearts." After speaking, Zheng Shaorong, who didn't know why, hurriedly squeezed through the crowd and left while the reporter went to interview other people.
Just now singing with others has been filmed. Lin Yao is very familiar with the new H agency. The news will definitely be sent back to the mainland and published on the official media. Lin Yao even thought of the title "Overseas Chinese miss the motherland" for them , gathered in Times Square to sing "China Heart"
He has only played tricks a few times, not many people recognize him, and Zheng Shaorong is different, no matter Hong Kong or China, there are not few people who recognize him.It is foreseeable that after this news is discovered by the local media, what kind of uproar will be caused. HK people are afraid of returning ten years later. To be seen, especially public figures.
Lin Yao didn't care, he was originally from the Celestial Dynasty in Hong Kong's skin, and he didn't care about being pro-inner and British, but he felt that he couldn't implicate Zheng Shaorong, as an artist, he shouldn't be classified into that school.
"I'm sorry." Lin Yao felt extremely apologetic when he came to an area where the crowds were a little less crowded. "After the reports of that group of reporters, I think that maybe you will be labeled as pro-Chinese in the future."
Zheng Shaorong didn't show any expression, he was neither worried nor angry, he seemed extremely calm "I just follow my heart and sing with others, if they want to report, they can report casually, I have been in the entertainment industry for so many years, I don't believe my career will be affected by this What are the effects."
"Really, I'm sorry..." If Zheng Shaorong was really rejected by Hong Kong people because of this, Lin Yao thought that he would not be able to atone for his sins even if he died, he should do something, and if he lost the box office in Hong Kong, he should get more opportunities for him, Even if he loses his popularity in Hong Kong, he should also gain more love for him.This combined with his feeling of powerlessness when recalling his previous life gave birth to an idea. Lin Yao asked Zheng Shaorong word by word, "I am not a good director, and I have never made any blockbuster films. This time I plan to take it seriously. Do you want to be my hero?"
Before Lin Yao finished speaking, the surrounding crowd started to commotion, "The time is coming, ten, nine, eight, seven, six..." Lin Yao and Zheng Shaorong looked up at the second hand on the big clock in Times Square at the same time.
"Three, two, one... happynewyear!" Fireworks of various colors erupted from Times Square and went straight into the night sky. Balloons of various colors fell from the sky, and people cheered loudly, jumping and shuttling among the crowd. face.
Zheng Shaorong turned his head to look at Lin Yao who was standing beside him quietly waiting for his answer. The light from the side made his outline look very deep, his eyes were full of determination and seriousness, his thin lips were tightly pressed, revealing a little uneasiness and nervousness.He never thought that before the last era of the twentieth century, there would be someone who would say to him, "Do you want to be my hero..."
"Okay..." Zheng Shaorong pulled Lin Yao's palm to meet his gaze, and answered again at the same speed as Lin Yao's question, "I promise you."
At that moment, the crowded crowd in the square seemed to disappear, and there were only two people in the world.

The two spent an exotic New Year's Eve in New York. When the parade crowd was about to disperse, Lin Yao took Zheng Shaorong to find an artist who set up a stall on the street to buy paintings, and spent fifty dollars and twenty minutes in exchange for a two people sketch.Although the painter was down and out, he probably still had some skills. The clasped palms of the two, and the subtle expressions at that time, were all truly recorded on the rough and thick drawing paper. Lin Yao thought that they should have a house, and he should Hang this picture in the house as a testimony to their first New Years together.
In the following days, Lin Yao felt very happy. Although there was no physical entanglement, the spirits of the two began to become compatible. For a whole month, he and the other party were indulging in this rare and pleasant feeling. inside.They rented a car in New York and traveled a lot.They listened to country music and rock music on the radio, and left footprints in the yellow sand and wheat fields in the west.Although half of this day is spent on the long interstate highway in the United States, it really couldn't be more beautiful.
Zheng Shaorong thought he might be crazy, he just told the manager that he needed to take a short break to travel, and then he disappeared for a whole month, not caring about the schedule, not caring about the promotion, not caring about anything, temporarily breaking free, not an artist, I'm not an actor, I don't need to be perfect, I just live as myself and simply immerse myself in the joy of exile.If he hadn't been afraid that his agent would think that he had been contacted by an accident such as disappearance, kidnapping, etc., according to the original itinerary, he estimated that he might have to return to Hong Kong for another month before he knew that he had won the title of actor for the first time in his life.At this time, most of the sights worth visiting on the map of the United States have been crossed by them, and it is time to go back.
In the cold early spring, they were not recognized when they came out of the airport wrapped up tightly. When they left Hong Kong earlier, the car was parked on the parking lot of the airport. After a month of wind and rain, they wrapped up There was a thin layer of dust.
When they left, they packed lightly and returned with a full load. Lin Yao brought souvenirs of their trip this month, various folk ornaments, Indian head feathers, especially New York New Year’s sketches and twenty or thirty used film rolls. , carefully put them into the trunk of the car.Afterwards, he needed to visit the company, while Zheng Shaorong needed to accept the trophies he hadn't received personally and be interviewed by the media. He sent Zheng Shaorong downstairs, and quickly absconded before the other party opened his mouth.
Lin Yao drove to the company to see the final box office of the Gambler, affected by the impact of "Days of Being Wild", it was more than the 2000 million estimated by others, but slightly less than the 4000 million he expected, but it was just over 3000 million.
Unlike Lin Yao who had too high expectations, the small-budget film can recover more than ten times the cost at the box office. Guoxing Company and Xiang Qiang were so surprised that the films that Xiang Qiang invested in earlier were not so profitable. It is more profitable than the routes in Southeast Asia, but it is a pity that this kind of situation is rare. Otherwise, it is more profitable to go the right way than to do Southeast Asia. Who would do the traditional business of clubs that discount blessings.
Also because of the unexpectedly high box office, the crew got a big red envelope when Lin Yao was away, especially the protagonist Zhou Xingchi. The remuneration he negotiated with Guoxing company before was not a fixed price buyout, but a percentage share , After the settlement, he won nearly 300 million Hong Kong dollars for an unknown role, which is not far behind the first-line remuneration.
The reason for this result is that Lin Yao admitted that it was his own selfishness. He couldn't forget Zhou Xingchi's ill-fitting dress and downcast expression when he opened the business. He shouldn't be like this.So when I met Zhou Xingchi again, the other party obviously felt much better, chatting with the company employees in high spirits, at least from his clothes, it could be seen that this relatively huge sum of money was first used by him to improve his living conditions.Chatted with Zhou Xingchi for a few words, took a stroll around to announce that he had returned, the company's publicity department had a complete set of printing equipment and a darkroom, Lin Yao simply took the film to the company to find someone to develop it, these things must be handled by people with tight mouths.
As soon as the door of the Propaganda Department office was opened, the manager in charge quickly put down the matter at hand and greeted him with a courteous smile, "Brother Yao! Rare visitor, you have come to the Propaganda Department, it really makes me shine."
"Uncle Zhao, don't, Yaozi can't take it..." Lin Yao stopped the manager who personally brought him tea and water. He recognized this person.
