dear dreamer

Everyone at the table looked at each other in dismay. Liu Haojun took out his wallet first, took out the red ones and handed them to Chen Yu. Deng Tingge kicked him under the table, but Liu Haojun ignored him.

"Mr. Chen, I have some here, you take them first."

Chen Yu looked at the money, then at Liu Haojun, his eyes were very strange.He took the few pieces of money and folded them back and forth, and put them in his pocket.There was another person who wanted to give him money, but he refused this time: "Xiao Liu gave it, it's fine, thank you."

After leaving, Deng Tingge and Liu Haojun left together.Liu Haojun said it was too late to take a taxi and go home, Deng Tingge stuffed a fifty in his hand: "Let's take a taxi."

Liu Haojun: "...What do you mean?"

Deng Tingge walked a few steps by the side of the road, and turned back to ask Liu Haojun: "Why did you give the money away like this? He might be cheating. Didn't you see? He was shaking all the time... he couldn't even hold the chopsticks." stable."

He said it himself, and he felt sad.Liu Haojun just said "You don't understand", turned around and took a taxi, and ran away in a hurry.

Deng Tingge looked at the rear of the car, wrote down the taxi's license plate on his mobile phone, and thought to himself, who said I don't understand, it's because you once regarded him as your idol.

Things passed like this for a while, and when Deng Tingge almost thought that Chen Yu had taken the hundreds of dollars and disappeared, he met him again by accident.

Recently, "The Second Crown Prince" has been waiting for Qiu Yang's schedule. Deng Tingge felt itchy all over his body when he was free, so he simply contacted his mentor and went back to perform a few plays.They are all classic repertoires: "A Hornet", "Thunderstorm" and "The Wilderness". He even walked around the teahouse with a bird, and was criticized by his instructor for not having a Beijing flavor and not performing well.

Deng Tingge was used to seeing the black lens of the camera, and when he stood back on the stage, facing the densely packed audience, he felt a sense of relief.

Each has its own happiness and each has its own unhappiness.

He enjoyed the thrill of drama performance very much. During rehearsals, he asked his tutor to ask if he would not be popular when he was old, or if something happened and his reputation would be ruined, he would come back to the drama club.The drama club was established by the tutor himself, it is very new, but he has a lot of acquaintances and resources.After listening to Deng Tingge's words, he glared at his beard and blew, "You idiot! What do you think of the drama club! A shelter is still a shelter!"

Deng Tingge: "Neither of them, I just like acting in dramas, and I regard your place as my home."

This flattery was just right and just right, the instructor felt comfortable all over, his eyes stopped staring and his beard stopped blowing, and he was able to go up to the fifteenth floor in one breath.

"Monkey." The instructor snorted, "Go out as much as you can. If you go out, you can promote what you like. The drama is in a recession now, I don't want you young people to be stuck in This small place can’t be used.”

Deng Tinge thought for a while, but didn't understand: "But the drama stage also needs fresh forces. Why do you reject young people?"

"I reject young people like you." The mentor said, "A drama needs vitality. To survive, it must go on the road of business. The idea of ​​using it as a refuge like yours is not feasible."

The two sat in the background chatting every day.The instructor thought to himself, why didn't know that this guy was so chatty before, what a pity;One old and one young have fun.

This day he finished his play at the city theater, and a group of people in the play club were going to sing. He was thinking about Luo Hengqiu who came back from a business trip tonight, so he ran away first.

On the way home, I thought that Luo Hengqiu was on a night flight, and it didn't arrive until ten o'clock. When I got home—it was almost twelve o'clock when I got back to his home.He got off at the intersection of Huaihuang Street, went to pack a portion of eel porridge, and tried to show off his cuteness to ask for a discount.The boss's daughter likes to watch TV very much. As soon as Deng Tingge walked in, he immediately recognized him as the leading actor in the recent popular movie "Long Time".Although the little girl had no interest in movies, Deng Tingge was still a starlet, so she immediately hugged a bunch of homework books and asked Deng Tingge to sign them for her.

"Sign a book and get a one-time discount." Deng Tingge said to the boss with his pen flying like flying, and raised his head in his busy schedule.

Boss: "...I'm pissed off. Why are you so stingy when you're so popular?"

Deng Tingge chuckled: "I'm not popular yet. When I become popular, I'll come to help you."

He signed more than 20 blank homework books, and felt that the little girl was quite business-minded, much better than herself at the time.After packing another box of wife cakes, Deng Tingge walked briskly towards the street entrance.

Brilliant Street is full of people from all walks of life. There are lights and people on the street, and it is very lively, but the intersections leading to the alleys on the street are dark, suitable for hiding dirt and evil.

Deng Tingge was tall and strong, so he was not too afraid, so he sneaked into the alley with his supper, trying to take a shortcut and walk directly to the bus stop.

Chen Yu happened to be squatting at the back door of a certain barbecue stall, looking at a light bulb hanging from the back door, and was stabbing his leg with trembling hands.The needle tube was pushed to the end, and he slumped lazily on the ground with a confused smile on his face.Deng Tingge stood in the dark and watched, his heart sank.

He didn't fully believe Chen Yu's words, but he still hoped that he had really quit.

After returning that day, when he met Chang Huan, he asked Chang Huan about "Da Tang Jun Hua".Chang Huan told him that "Da Tang Jun Hua" was still in preparation, and the original scriptwriting team was not satisfied with the management, because they wanted to find a more gimmicky screenwriter to outline and complete the script.Deng Tingge asked him if he knew whether Chen Yu was in the writing team, and Chang Huan asked about Chen Yu's previous works, and said with certainty that it was impossible. ""Da Tang Jun Hua" is a big investment. Investors and producers want to find the most suitable people, including screenwriters and actors. Several teachers in the screenwriting team are experts in writing historical dramas, and the youngest one is also in his 40s. That’s right, it’s the screenwriter who wrote "Ten Thousand Passes". Right, they are all such famous characters, and your teacher is from the drama industry, that’s different, it’s impossible to choose him.”

Deng Tingge said yes, I understand.He then checked some information on the Internet to confirm what symptoms and changes would appear in people who had been poisoned for three years.

Chen Yu couldn't believe it.He should have been accustomed to deceive and deceive his relatives and friends.

But guessing is very different from seeing it with your own eyes.Deng Tingge didn't know whether he should continue to move forward or retreat.Chen Yu had already stood up, stretched himself, carefully broke off the needle and the needle tube, wrapped it in newspaper and threw it into the trash can.He raised his head, his misty eyes finally focused, and finally saw Deng Tingge.The two looked at each other silently, and finally Chen Yu smiled and said, "Do you still have money? I'm a little tight, help the teacher?"

Seeing that Deng Tingge didn't respond, Chen Yu reached out to him: "Why don't you give me something to eat, I'm hungry."

Deng Tinge gave him the box of wife cakes.Chen Yu ate two, and put the remaining four in the box carefully, "I haven't eaten this for a long time. Save some for tomorrow."

If he hadn't been shocked by the scene just now, Deng Tingge knew that he might cry in pain.

What Liu Haojun didn't know was that Deng Tingge also regarded Chen Yu as his idol.

When he really started to study acting systematically, it was Chen Yu who gave him the first words of encouragement, telling him that although he had worked a little harder in acting, the next generation was formidable, and the next generation could also be expected.Deng Tingge has read all of Chen Yu's scripts, and he can even say the lines in them casually - Chen Yu's scripts are intense and full of contradictions, he is good at maximizing the intensification of character conflicts in a short period of time, and In this very short period of time, the contradictions exploded one after another, the drama tension reached the extreme, and the impact of the climax moved the hearts of readers and audiences alike.When Chen Yu was still a student, his "The Great Wave" won the Special Anticipation Award of the National University Drama Culture Exploration and Research Award: "It has both the passion of young people and the sadness of history." This describes Chen Yu's style.

However, Chen Yu is standing in front of him now, without passion, without sorrow, only the soul is as bad as the body, full of dilapidated holes.

As if sensing Deng Tingge's thoughts, the forced smile on Chen Yu's face disappeared.

"I'm really useless, I don't blame you for looking down on me." He said, "But there is no way, this line of work is like begging, you pass the bowl in front of others, and others don't even bother to look at your bowl, let alone give it to you. Two copper coins."

He scanned Deng Tingge up and down.Although the light bulb at the back is not bright enough, it is enough to illuminate Deng Tingge clearly.

"You are so glamorous and conspicuous." Chen Yu chuckled, "You are in a high-rise building, but I am in the mud."

Deng Tingge listened silently to Chen Yu's complaints.Those powders and injections changed his personality drastically, and the more Deng Tingge listened to it, the more disgusting he felt.

"Teacher Chen." He interrupted Chen Yu, "I'm leaving. I won't tell anything about you, not anyone else."

With a strong desire to confide, Chen Yu was eloquently talking about his living conditions in the United States, but when Deng Tingge interrupted him, he immediately lost his train of thought and hummed in a daze.

"Don't... touch this again." Deng Tingge said, "Go to the Public Security Bureau, they will send you to compulsory detention..."

"Don't tell Xiao Liu." Chen Yu suddenly raised his voice, "You can't tell Liu Haojun, you swear, you swear!"

Chen Yu was trembling in the light, his eyes were moist, and his commanding tone gradually turned into a pleading.

"I won't tell him, he respects and admires you very, very much." Deng Tingge emphasized, "Encouraged by what you have done in the past, he is working hard on the road of screenwriting."

Chen Yu shook his body a few times, and said "stupid" clearly.

"If you're not stupid, how could I give you the money." Deng Tingge decided to leave, he didn't want Luo Hengqiu to go home without a light, and it was even more uncomfortable to delay him because of Chen Yu, "He..."

He stopped suddenly, watching Chen Yu take out two 100 yuan bills from his close pocket.

"You help me return it to him...just say...just say I can't use it up, thank him, and you return it to him." Chen Yu handed the money to Deng Tingge, "Do me a favor, Xiao Deng, I was wrong, you Give it back to him. I don't want his money... I, I..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly covered his face and began to cry, wailing, disregarding his face.His greasy hair was covered with tears on his face. Chen Yu cried and squatted on the ground, held up the 200 yuan and waved it in front of Deng Tingge.

Deng Tingge wiped his eyes, and put the bowl of eel porridge in front of Chen Yu. "You keep it, he won't want it. You also don't let him know what you look like now."

When Luo Hengqiu came home, Deng Tingge was taking out porridge and cakes and putting them in the dishes.He later went back and bought it again, and it was still hot and fragrant.

"What kind of cake?" Luo Hengqiu came out after washing his hands, picked up a piece of wife's cake for a closer look, "It's not like mung bean cake, it's..."

"Wife cake." Deng Tingge said.

Luo Hengqiu: "...What cake???"

Deng Tinge: "Mung bean cake."

Luo Hengqiu put it down: "I won't eat."

Deng Tingge couldn't laugh or cry.In the end, Luo Hengqiu finished the porridge and a few pieces of cake, and Deng Tingge took care of the rest.After eating and drinking enough, Luo Hengqiu rested on the bed with the tiredness of the journey, while Deng Tingge gave him a massage, and told him about meeting Chen Yu today.

Luo Hengqiu immediately said: "He will never recover. Don't take chances, such a person cannot be trusted."

"I know." Deng Tingge thought for a while, feeling a little uncomfortable and at a loss in his heart, "Liu Haojun admires him very much. I don't want to tell him that Chen Yu is lying, but I am afraid that Chen Yu will come back to him and cheat him out of money."

He also lay on the bed, lifted the quilt and got in, leaning against Luo Hengqiu.

"Liu Haojun doesn't have much money. Although Zhong Xing has a job introduced to him now, but in the screenwriting industry, the fame will make more money. Now he says that he is just selling words to survive, and it is very difficult."

Luo Hengqiu said don't say it, don't say it. "Liu Haojun must know. He is not a fool. When he told you about Chen Yu's return, he also told you about Chen Yu's things, which means that he himself knows that Chen Yu has been with you because of the fans. It's not the same before."

Deng Tinge hummed.

Luo Hengqiu thought for a while, then stroked his fluffy head: "Liu Haojun should know that Chen Yu is lying to him."

"Then he will pay back the money?" Deng Tingge felt uncomfortable, "You don't know, the look in Chen Yu's eyes at that time...he must feel that he has met a fool."

"I've also met Liu Haojun a few times. This is soft-hearted. If he didn't pay for the occasion at that time, there would be a table full of people, so Chen Yu would not be able to get off the stage."

Deng Tingge thought of Chen Yu that he saw tonight, and he was angry and unwilling: "If you don't get off the stage, you won't get off the stage, and if you don't get off the stage, you have to give him money? Such a holy mother, then everyone can ask him for money. The more this person lives, the more he goes back." gone."

Luo Hengqiu smiled for a while: "It's not the Holy Mother, after all, he still calls him a teacher, right? If one day I become downcast, I might be the same as Chen Yu. I'll tell you in front of many people that I will change Deng Tingge's name." I'm getting better, give me some money to buy food. Will you give it?"

"No." Deng Tingge pinched his face, "Impossible, don't make such assumptions."

He thought for a while, and understood what Luo Hengqiu meant.It's not that Liu Haojun doesn't know, it's because he doesn't want to.But this time, if the money is given out, it will be given away. It is basically impossible for Chen Yu to have a next time.

Luo Hengqiu asked again: "He doesn't have any family members? Are you ignoring him?"

Deng Tinge: "Maybe. I don't know what's going on in his family."

There was a moment of silence.Luo Hengqiu didn't know what he was thinking, turned over, his eyes rolled around.

"In the future, don't go the wrong way and do wrong things." Luo Hengqiu said, "Talk to me if you have any problems, and we can discuss and solve them."

Deng Tingge said yes.

"...If you are really wrong, you have to confess to me." Luo Hengqiu turned around and patted his face, "I won't ignore you."

Deng Tingge didn't say a word, stretched out his hand slowly, and hugged him under the quilt.

"Are you at home next weekend?" Deng Tingge stared at him and said, ""Gu Dao Warm Heart" will be broadcast next weekend, do you want to watch it?"
