At nine o'clock the next morning, Weissman showed up at the company on time. As soon as he entered the lobby, he saw Yue Haonan sitting next to the elevator with two cups of coffee.

Weissman couldn't help frowning, and walked forward without looking sideways, directly ignoring Yue Haonan's hand offering coffee, pressing the elevator and standing aside, unexpectedly White took it with a slight smile, without waiting for Weissman to stop him , the elevator door opened, and the two walked in one after another.

Weissman squinted at the coffee in White's hand and asked, "Why did you accept it?"

"Isn't espresso Mr. Kane's favorite?"

"Are you going to accept it if you like it?"

"Wow, it's still hot, um, the smell is so pure, don't you really want to taste it?"

Weisman stared straight ahead with a cold face, without speaking.

"Since you don't want to drink me, drink two cups by yourself. It's so happy to have a cup of hot coffee in the winter morning." White raised his head and finished drinking a cup, smacking his lips unsatisfied, picked up another cup and took a drink And do.Weisman pretended not to care, but in fact he was a little moved.

After getting out of the elevator, Weissman glanced at the paper cup thrown into the trash by White from the corner of his eye, and swallowed.

At noon, Weissman had just picked up the phone to ask White to buy food, but White had already come in with a fast food box.

"Why did you buy it so early today?"

"Mr. Yue said that eating lunch too late is not good for your stomach, so let me come early to deliver your meal."

"..."

"Oh, also, Mr. Yue also said that eating these fast foods every day is not nutritious, so he will cook for you from tomorrow. To be on the safe side, he cooked for me today and left it outside, Kai Mr. En, would you like to taste it? I can bring it in..."

"No, put down the lunch box and go out."

"Okay Mr. Kane." White put the snack box on Weissman's desk and exited his office.

Yue Haonan made stewed chicken wings, deep-fried pork cutlets, and Japanese-style kimbap for White. As soon as the lunch box was opened, the mouth-watering aroma of rice wafted across the work area. Many people came over and asked White curiously what he was eating. .

White picked up a piece of pork chop with a fork, bit it down, the gravy overflowed, the crispy coat wrapped the smooth pork, the outside was charred and the inside was tender, White almost cried because of the delicious food, and praised: "This is too delicious Go! This is definitely the best pork chop I've ever eaten!"

Others were salivating, and gathered around to ask for a sip. For a while, there was a lot of noise outside Weissman's office, which made Weissman inside feel itchy.

Suddenly, the phone on White's desk rang. With a smile on his lips, White picked up the receiver and asked, pretending to be puzzled, "Mr. Kane? Is there anything I can order?"

"Come into my office with your lunch." After speaking, he hung up immediately.

White walked into Weisman's office with a lunch box and asked respectfully, "What's wrong with Mr. Kane?"

"Cough... that... give me a taste..."

White held back his laughter and put the lunch box in front of Weissman: "It doesn't matter how many bites you taste."

Yue Haonan was leaning on the table at the front desk in the lobby, flirting with the reception lady, the phone in his pocket vibrated twice, he took it out and saw it was a text message from White: Starting tomorrow, I can make lunch for Mr Kane.

Yue Haonan was not surprised at all. Ever since he knew that Weissman never went to the company's employee restaurant to eat in order not to waste time, but settled his lunch hastily in the office, he knew that with his own cooking skills, he must start from this aspect. It can be easily taken off.

What's more, when he saw White for the first time, he saw that his walking posture was a bit unnatural. Yesterday, he came to deliver baked noodles and asked by the way. Sure enough, his legs were caught in the cold, and his knees ached in winter, so that night He went to a Chinese medicine shop in Chinatown and bought a set of cupping equipment. He knocked on the door of White's house and cupped his knee once. Seeing his sincerity, he easily brought White into his camp.

Yue Haonan calmly put the phone back into his pocket, and said to the receptionist: "Beautiful lady, I'm sorry I can't continue chatting with you anymore, I have to get down to business, see you tomorrow." Turn around and leave.

In the evening, when Weissman returned home, he heard his daughter's crisp laughter at the door, which was exactly the same as last night. He suddenly felt dizzy, thinking that you bastard is still in good spirits? !Come to my house every day? !

He opened the door angrily, but he didn't see Yue Haonan's figure, only his wife and daughter, who seemed to be playing with some kind of toy, and laughed very happily.

The wife raised her head and saw him, smiled and stepped forward to kiss his lips, and said, "My dear, thank you, I thought you had forgotten, but you have always remembered, I am so relieved."

Weissman was a little puzzled, looked down at the ground, and saw his daughter was holding a toy baby, and the baby was crying at this time, the daughter hurriedly stuffed the small milk bottle into its mouth, and the baby stopped crying immediately , the daughter carefully put it into the small quilt, smiled and threw herself into Weissman's arms, and said happily: "Thank you, Dad! I like it so much! This is the best birthday present! When I go to school tomorrow Can I take it with me? Jenny and Della want to see it!"

"Uh... ok, take it with you." Weissman laughed dryly, patted his daughter on the head, turned and walked into the study, and immediately closed the door and locked it.

After dialing White's phone number, before White could speak, he asked eagerly, "What's the matter with that baby toy? A birthday present? What birthday present?"

"Mr. Kane, what nonsense are you talking about, new script?"

Weissman felt a little broken and tried to slow down his speech: "I came home today and saw my daughter was playing with a baby doll, and she was very happy to say it was the best birthday present. What the hell is going on? thing?"

"Baby doll? Electric?"

"Well, it seems so."

"Mr. Kane, your daughter celebrated her eighth birthday a month ago. At that time, you were filming a movie in Switzerland and didn't come back. Then you promised on the phone that you would give her the most wanted birthday gift when you returned home, but you didn't ask What does she want, being so busy with filming you might forget about it. Later I heard from your wife that she seemed to really want an electric baby doll, I remember I told you that but you It seems... I don't remember."

Weissman held his forehead and thought for a while, and vaguely remembered that such a thing did happen. He was so busy that he often forgot some small things, but who gave this doll?

"White, do you know who gave this doll?"

"Mr. Kane, I think you might as well ask Mr. Yue how?"

"Him? Impossible, impossible, how would he know that I owe my daughter an electric doll? Stop making trouble."

"I do not know then."

"Okay, I'll ask someone else."

After hanging up the phone, Weissman felt restless, and finally sent a text message to White: Go ask Yue Haonan if he bought it.

Ten minutes later, White's text message came back: Mr. Kane, it was indeed bought by Mr. Yue. He said that when he was playing with your daughter yesterday, he heard her say that you still owe her a birthday present, so he asked casually. Find out what she wants as a gift, and order that baby doll online in your name and have it delivered to your home.

Weissman read this text message many times, finally made up his mind, and replied to White: Go tell Yue Haonan that he only has ten days. If he is not qualified after ten days, I will sign a contract with someone else.

***

Every day after that, Yue Haonan would hand Weissman a cup of steaming espresso at the elevator entrance at nine o'clock in the morning, and then deliver the delicious food he made himself at noon, never repeating the same.

Weissman could clearly see that Yue Haonan was losing weight at a speed visible to the naked eye, his cheeks were sunken, his cheekbones were prominent, his eyes looked bigger, but his eyeballs were dull and dull.

On the fifth day, Weissman felt that Yue Haonan seemed to be blown away by the wind, and finally couldn't help but said: "Are you dying for this role?! I don't want to let a Corpse in my movie!"

Yue Haonan also joked with a playful smile: "Director Kane, are you worried about me? Ouch, I'm so touched."

Weissman: "...Go away, you deserve to be skinny."

***

When the ten-day deadline came, White took Yue Haonan into Weisman's office to check the results.

In the past ten days, Yue Haonan's changes are obvious, not only his appearance is exactly the same as the autistic painter in the script, but also his impression is very different, from the extraordinary charm of the past to today's gloomy appearance With the appearance of death breath, the two eyeballs were motionless, and it seemed that even the breath he exhaled had turned gray. Weissman was amazed, and I really don't know how he did it.

Weissman asked Yue Haonan to try out the best part of the painter in the script. Yue Haonan immediately entered the scene, and played the painter's indifference and trance so vividly. Is Qingyue Haonan an actor or a character who came out of a script?

The signing process went very smoothly. Weissman took out the contract that he had prepared long ago and asked Yue Haonan to sign his name. After thinking about it, he asked the question that stuck in his heart: "How can you change so much in just ten days? of?"

Yue Haonan said while writing the name: "Actually, it's nothing, just eat three peanuts a day and do a lot of exercise, and then in addition to coming to the company to deliver coffee and meals, stay in the orphanage to observe every move of the autistic child , basically staying for a whole day.”

"Why do you have to fight so hard?"

Yue Haonan chuckled, "Because I need a chance to prove my strength."

Facts have proved that Yue Haonan's hard work was worthwhile. Six months later, "Escape" was released, which shocked the world in one fell swoop, setting off a sci-fi frenzy around the world, and this sci-fi trend has continued for more than ten years without fading.

Yue Haonan's performance in the film amazed everyone even more. Although there were not many scenes, his brilliance clearly surpassed the leading actors, and the name "Yue Haonan" was instantly remembered by people all over the world.

Immediately afterwards, Yue Haonan relied on this film to sweep all kinds of international film awards, winning awards and being soft, creating one after another "firsts" for China's sluggish film status in the world: the first to win the Berlin Film Festival The best supporting actor Chinese movie star, the first Chinese movie star to win the Canadian Maple Leaf Award, the first Chinese movie star to win the Japanese Shirame Award, the first Chinese movie star to win the best supporting actor at the Venice Film Festival... It can be said that Yue Haonan It squeezed into the forefront of the international film industry in one step and brought unprecedented glory to China.

However, when everyone was paying attention to the halo above Yue Haonan's head, almost no one cared how much effort he had put in to get this role, and no one cared that he made himself from more than 140 in ten days for this role. He was so thin that he was less than ninety catties, and no one noticed that the filming was in the severe winter, and Yue Haonan only wore a plaid shirt not much thicker than paper from beginning to end, and he would never tell others about his Because I was too involved in the drama and couldn't get out of the role, I saw a psychiatrist for two months before I could communicate with others normally as before.

All he did was to smile gracefully in front of the flashlight, tell reporters about the fun of filming, thank the director as usual when holding up the trophy, thank the screenwriter, thank everyone around him, and then continue where people can’t see Pave the way for yourself day after day.

In midsummer and July, the sunshine at six o'clock in the morning is the most rare and gentle appearance in a day. Yue Haonan came to Washington Airport alone wearing sunglasses in refreshing light blue, waiting to board the plane to China.

After more than a year, it's time to take back what's rightfully mine.
