24 Lies

In just one month, they have changed a lot in order to prepare for their roles.

Mingzheng gradually got used to the presence of Zheng Guanyu in his life, learned to smoke, and learned to get along with Zheng Guanyu gently.

He found that Zheng Guanyu was a very tolerant person, and he didn't care too much about his poor living environment, so he adapted well and lived in the house that belonged to Gao Xiaoyu.

Except for dinner time, they hardly see each other.Zheng Guanyu went to school during the day to attend classes with the music teacher. In the evening, after school was over, he would go to a vegetable market. After buying the vegetables, he would go home and cook. After the meal was ready, he went downstairs and knocked on Mingzheng's door, asking him to come up and have dinner with him.

There was no entertainment in this place, and Zheng Guanyu didn't have many friends here, so he couldn't have fun, but it seemed that he was doing okay.

Mingzheng admired him very much, he was able to calm down and not be impetuous.

Zheng Guanyu asked his assistant to send a small red radio and a memory card with Shan Tianfang's storytelling. They would listen to Shan Tianfang's storytelling while having dinner.

Ming Zheng could feel that Zheng Guanyu was becoming more and more like the Gao Xiaoyu in the play.

The most obvious change is demeanor.Zheng Guanyu used to have a smile on his face unconsciously. He looked at you softly when he spoke, which made people feel good.But now Zheng Guanyu looks at people with some scrutiny and precautions.In addition, he has lost a lot of weight, hunched slightly when sitting, and always bowed his head when walking...

In fact, his temperament is not like Gao Xiaoyu's, and because of his temperament, Li Zhiyuan asked him to prepare well in the early stage.The director asked him to play Gao Xiaoyu, probably because Zheng Guanyu's acting skills are good, and his appearance is more up to standard. His face is very plastic, and he can shuttle between characters with different temperaments, Mingzheng thought.

But it seems... he looks better as a handsome boy and a gentleman?I came to film this movie, probably because I wanted to break through myself.

The director asked them to cultivate their relationship and get to know each other. Ming Zheng didn't feel that they were familiar with each other. It seemed that he was not familiar with Zheng Guanyu, but the Gao Xiaoyu that Zheng Guanyu had become.

Li Zhiyuan didn't let Mingzheng enter the role like Zheng Guanyu did.Ming Zheng didn't know the reason, but the director said that he was Chen Zhou, and he didn't need to do any other homework at all, and he had his own arrangements when acting.

Li Zhiyuan is a director who is good at training actors, and Ming Zheng feels that he should be obedient.

But Ming Zheng didn't know if he and Zheng Guanyu were familiar.

Maybe forget it, anyway, when they talk now, they are not as polite as before, and they are much more casual.

He would come to eat with Zheng Guanyu every day, and Mingzheng felt that this should be part of his work.So he came here with the mood of clocking in at work, and after eating to help Zheng Guanyu clean up, he left quickly, so as not to let each other have any chance to have more stories.

Zheng Guanyu listens to storytelling every day while eating.

Today I listened to "Water Margin".He probably listens to it by himself at home. Every time Mingzheng comes, the clips he hears are always different from what he heard last time.Today's show is the Fengxue Mountain Temple. Mingzheng was eating and listening absent-mindedly to the scene where Lin Chong, who was walking in the wind and snow, was forced to go to Liangshan. Inexplicably, he thought of "Lin Chong's Night Run"...Zheng Guanyu had studied Peking Opera, so he didn't know him Will you sing?

Zheng Guanyu ate less and less. He only ate a bowl of boiled vegetables and boiled eggs every day, and only tasted a few bites of other dishes.But he likes to watch himself eat, and Ming Zheng doesn't know if he can feel full just watching himself eat, it doesn't matter, just watch if he likes.

"You should cook less next time." Mingzheng lowered his head and said, "I eat alone every day."

Zheng Guanyu said: "Anyway, I won't be able to eat for a few days, let you eat better. After two days, when the crew arrives, you have to eat box lunch every day."

Ming Zheng paused with his chopsticks, and replied, "En."

Their daily relationship is as simple as that, having dinner together, listening to storytelling, and chatting casually.The distance was clearly laid out on the dining table, and it was in their eyes that were about to leave when they touched each other, neither advancing nor retreating.

Mingzheng looked up at him: "You don't talk much recently."

Zheng Guanyu said: "Because Gao Xiaoyu can't talk a lot, he is not a very talkative person. I have a lot of things I want to say, but I can't. I have to get used to being Gao Xiaoyu."

Ming Zheng said thoughtfully: "Gao Xiaoyu probably won't like listening to Water Margin."

Zheng Guanyu nodded: "Yes, I need to listen to this every day to remind me who I am."

Ming Zheng suddenly felt a little funny: "I actually didn't think you would like to hear this."

It's not that I like to listen, I just want to find something to do.Zheng Guanyu didn't explain his thoughts: "I didn't expect you to listen to Pingshu either. I have met many people, and you are the only one who has listened to it with me."

These words may be a bit ambiguous, they were silent for a while.

Zheng Guanyu didn't know what he thought of. He raised his eyes to look at Ming Zheng, and suddenly felt a little dazed, puzzled, and even depressed.

He was still listening to storytelling, but he actually asked inappropriately: "Why did you follow Yan Mao? Was it voluntary?"

"..."

After a moment of silence, Zheng Guanyu said again: "I've heard a lot of nasty things... To be honest, you have a good appearance, and it's actually not necessary to do that by yourself."

Mingzheng felt that this topic was really boring, so he pointed to Zheng Guanyu's bowl to change the subject: "Mr. Zheng, eat more, I always feel that you are weak in speaking now."

After staring at each other for two seconds, Zheng Guanyu already knew that Mingzheng didn't want to talk about it with him. This was to tell him not to eat more when he was full, and not to meddle in his own business.

That's right, they have nothing to do with each other, let him do what he does.

"I'm really weak. I probably don't have enough to eat, and I feel tired when I talk." Zheng Guanyu stood up and planned to escape, "You eat first, I'll go down and feed Xiao Hei."

Ming Zheng nodded.Zheng Guanyu left him at home, and wandered downstairs with leftovers to feed the dog.

There are many stray cats and dogs around here, but Zheng Guanyu has a soft spot for a black pug, and even named him Xiao Hei.The dog also seemed to be very interested in Zheng Guanyu, and every night he ran downstairs to wait under the big green tree.

Ming Zheng took the bowl and walked to the window.The voice from the radio came to my ears, talking about a heavy snowfall, and Lin Chong, the leopard head with a stab at Cangzhou.But the air outside the window is hot, that kind of heat seems to be palpable, and it has a three-dimensional shape, just like Shan Tianfang's voice talking about heavy snow.

Downstairs, a slightly hunched man walked into Ming Zheng's eyes.He fixedly watched Zheng Guanyu's walking movements, and felt that Gao Xiaoyu's appearance in his imagination was being walked out step by step by him.

The black dog was really waiting for Zheng Guanyu, quietly waiting for Zheng Guanyu to squat down and put the food in front of him.

Ming Zheng watched them silently for a while, finished the food in the bowl, and went back to clean up the dishes.

Halfway through packing, Mingzheng's phone rang.It was Yan Li who called and asked if he could go home. He said that a small boss in the black market had a quarrel with the seller who gambled with stones. His aunt Mingwen Yuren was still negotiating business in Hainan and wanted him to go back and deal with it.

Mingzheng held the phone between his shoulders and asked, "Can I go back tomorrow? Please comfort me and let both sides be quiet."

"Yes." Yan Li replied, "You should come back and have a look in the next few days. There still needs to be a manager at home. When your aunt comes back from Hainan, you can film with peace of mind."

"it is good."

He hung up the phone and slowly started washing the dishes.The day before yesterday Zheng Guanyu said that he did not wash the dishes cleanly. Mingzheng has been very concerned about this problem for the past two days. He competed with the pots and pans in this family. Wan's rough jadeite wasn't that serious.

By the time I finished washing the dishes, I was already sweating.

Mingzheng wiped his hands, helped Zheng Guanyu turn off the radio, and was going to go to Zheng Guanyu to smoke a cigarette and let him see if he looked like an old smoker in his studies recently.

Zheng Guanyu was still squatting under the tree, with the little black dog sitting at his feet.He was propping his head up, staring at the bouquet of flowers in his hand in a daze.

During this period of time, Mingzheng discovered that Zheng Guanyu especially loves to buy flowers. People buy them to eat, but he buys them for viewing. He buys them as soon as he sees them, no matter what kind of flowers they are.

Mingzheng took out a cigarette from his bag, lit it, frowned, took two puffs, and walked towards Zheng Guanyu.

He only took two steps before Zheng Guanyu raised his head and propped his chin to watch his movements.

Ming Zheng endured the stench of the cigarette and inhaled, feeling a little dizzy again.

He was standing, Zheng Guanyu squatted, looked up at him, and laughed after watching him for a while.

"What are you laughing at?" He asked Zheng Guanyu, "Is it still fake?"

Zheng Guanyu shook his head: "It's already very similar. I laugh because I feel that we are both quite pitiful. One is hungry all day long, and the other is forced to learn to smoke."

Ming Zheng nodded sympathetically.He put out his cigarette, feeling tired from standing and talking, so he squatted down.

"I won't come to have dinner with you tomorrow." Mingzheng patted the little black dog's head, "I have something to do at home, I need to go back."

After talking about it, Mingzheng somehow felt as if he had reported the itinerary to his family, and he was a little embarrassed.

But Zheng Guanyu nodded indifferently: "Understood."

"You should go back for a few more days." Zheng Guanyu said, "The crew will be here the day after tomorrow. You can come back on the day the film starts, and spend more time with your family."

"Ah."

He looked at Zheng Guanyu's hand holding the flower.It's amazing, this scene is very similar to a certain scene in "Dawn and Eve" many years ago, in which Zhu Lin held a bunch of white flowers in the same way.

Sensing his gaze towards her, Zheng Guanyu simply shook the flowers in his hand at him, and said with a smile, "For you? Anyway, I don't know how to cook and eat."

When he laughed, it was still Zheng Guanyu, not Gao Xiaoyu.His eyes and mouth are beautiful, how to describe him, handsome is not right, beautiful is not right, Ming Zheng doesn't know how to describe Zheng Guanyu who is holding a flower.I just suddenly felt that this kind of person should make a movie. If it was a movie, the smile just now would die on the screen and never grow old.

Ming Zheng took it over and asked, "I was just wondering... Did you get this kind of flower in "Day and Night"?"

"No, the one in "Day and Night" is a bunch of wild flowers that the drama director randomly found in the woods."

Zheng Guanyu pointed to the flower in Ming Zheng's hand and said, "I just asked you about this, it's called Jiang Hua."

Mingzheng nodded: "I know this can be used to steam eggs, my family seems to have eaten it."

"Well, I just checked, and it can be eaten cold or made into medicine." Zheng Guanyu folded his arms, "I also accidentally saw its flower language when I checked."

Mingzheng asked absently, "What flower language?"

Zheng Guanyu turned his face away, he seemed to sigh, looked at the setting sun in the distance and said: "Keep the memory in summer forever."
