24 Lies

Li Zhiyuan likes the image of water in movies, Mingzheng knows it.In his darker early films, he liked to shoot dirty groundwater, and when he was older, he began to like water such as rain, creeks, rivers and seas.

But this time, no matter how much Li Zhiyuan longed for the Drake Passage, he couldn't go to the deck to shoot, the weather was not so good.For the sake of safety, the crew does not recommend that the film crew go outside to shoot.

After taking a few shots of Chen Zhou in the cabin, everyone began to rest.

The boat was too rough, and half of the staff were seasick. Li Zhiyuan was halfway through the car, and some people covered their mouths and ran to vomit. In the end, they had to go back to their rooms to take a good rest, and wait until we got off the boat.

Mingzheng is not seasick at all, he still has to do what to do, eat and sleep, do a set of punches in the room before going to bed at night, do a hundred push-ups before going to take a shower, his life is no different from that on land.

Li Zhiyuan was very satisfied with his appearance, and even boasted: "At that time, I chose you not only because you were like Chen Zhou, but also because of your good physical fitness, and this trip to Antarctica will be easier.

The next night they encountered very bad weather.

The Roaring West Wind Belt is indeed well-deserved of its reputation, and Mingzheng was shaken awake even when he fell asleep.He squinted his eyes to wake up on the bed, and found that the curtain on the small window was shaking at right angles.

Mingzheng sat up, stared blankly in the dark for a while, and planned to go out for a walk.

When he walked to the public area, he realized that he was not the only one who couldn't sleep. At the moment, four or five staff members were chatting in the activity area.

Someone noticed that Mingzheng had come out, and greeted him with a smile: "Come on, let's report to the group together to keep warm."

Ming Zheng smiled, walked over slowly and sat beside them, and happily joined the night chat.

"I really don't want to stay in the room alone. This is the end of the world. It's the end of the world. It's uncomfortable to lie down and sit..." a photographer said, "Humans are social animals after all. I'll be more comfortable together."

Someone smiled and said, "There will never be such a night again, cherish it."

After chatting for a while, the atmosphere was pretty good.It was obvious that everyone was a little flustered, and some of them were a little seasick, but at least they got some comfort in their hearts when they got together to chat.

Xiao Yang, who has a very lively personality, began to gossip in substandard Mandarin about a report she had read, saying that life in the polar regions was very depressing, especially the eternal night period, which tortured the spirit for a long time, so sex and alcohol have been exhausted. It has become the main way for those researchers to vent, and foreign scientific research stations will consume a lot of condoms a year...

Someone commented: "The emptiness always needs to be filled in some way. Desire is just a very simple one."

The American photographer said in English: "Yes, it's difficult to satisfy anything other than basic desires. Sex is a very common need."

Then the topic turned to midnight.

Ming Zheng took a sip of water, lowered his head and thought for a while.

For no reason, he suddenly remembered the very boring and boring years in the past.

His master never married for life, and the little old man always tried to sell him the truth of the inner family's understanding of one's mind and sex.When I was a child, I didn't quite understand it, and the teacher was vague, saying that it was an attitude of going against desires.Master doesn't agree with following one's heart, what is emphasized is restraint... Only by restraining to the extreme can one enter the Tao.His master believed in this very much, and he restrained his desires all his life.

But Master's life... was very lonely. Mingzheng did not have the ideal of pursuing the Dao, nor did he wish to live such a life for himself.

Thinking about it, Mingzheng inexplicably thought of those few affairs with Zheng Guanyu...

It doesn't count if you can't help it, it seems to be a matter of course, not entirely for fun, but more like giving a kind of trust.

After thinking for a while, Mingzheng spoke up in a rare way: "I may be a bit old-fashioned. I would think that giving your body to another person is a manifestation of delivery and trust, and it is also a very romantic thing. Maybe Many people regard this kind of thing as an empty pastime, but I still think that sex should be beautiful and sacred. Have you heard of Taoism? That is..."

As he spoke, his voice became smaller and smaller, because he found that everyone had calmed down and looked at him seriously, with an open-minded look on his face asking for advice.

Usually on such occasions, he would just listen and not speak, but suddenly he said a few words...

Mingzheng was embarrassed by them, and his ears were a little red: "...I was talking nonsense."

Chang Ji smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and handed him the whiskey in his hand: "Well said, enjoy a glass of wine!"

"Mingzheng, your idea is very similar to Christianity's point of view. They don't approve of premarital sex, and..."

Then we talked about religion.

The wind and waves outside seemed to be getting bigger, and the cup handed over by Chang Ji began to tilt in his sight, and it was about to pour.

Ming Zheng immediately reached out to pick up the glass, twisted his hand into a weird angle, and sent the wine into his mouth along with the shaking force of the ship.

The American with the wine bottle shouted hello, smiled and said something about Chinese Kung Fu!

"Don't use a cup, drink directly from the bottle, the boat is shaking like this..." Someone said with a smile.

The talk party on a precarious night later turned into a marriage and family session.

There are dangerous storms outside, but the content of everyone's conversation gradually becomes distracted. After several months of filming, a strange friendship has been formed among the crew members.

The producer, who was a little drunk, said with red eyes that he would go back to file for divorce after the filming of this film.

Mingzheng is very interested in this kind of topic.Listen carefully to other people's marriage stories and try to draw some lessons from them.

"We don't have any problems in principle, but it's just that... living together now feels very tiring and consumes each other." The producer said, "After I got married, I realized how much energy is needed to maintain a family, especially us who are not at home. career. Being in love is beautiful, but life can easily break people, and this marriage makes me feel like a failure."

Marriage, family, love, things that trouble many people, these three words seem harmonious and contradictory when put together.

Mingzheng listened for a while, tried to be himself, and began to imagine the scene of arguing and breaking up with Zheng Guanyu.

After thinking about it for a while, I found it kind of funny.

If he is really here, then quarreling is fine, Ming Zheng thought.I don't know if it's like this when other people fall in love. He always seems to think of Zheng Guanyu, no matter what he is talking about with others.Maybe liking is just being trapped in it, it doesn't make sense.

The weather is so bad, if Zheng Guanyu was here, what would he say to himself, what would he do?

Everyone was silent for a while, and the photographer patted the producer on the shoulder and said a few words of comfort.

Mingzheng suddenly asked: "Brother Li, if you do it all over again, will you still marry your wife?"

The producer froze for a moment, and exchanged a glance with Ming Zheng.

He was silent for a while, nodded, and said, "It seems that he will marry her."

Even if the ending is to separate, it seems that they will not regret the acquaintance.

Ming Zheng nodded, smiled at the producer, and said nothing more.

They chatted very late that night, and then some people gradually lost their strength and went back to the room to rest.After Mingzheng helped the producer who was seasick and wanted to drink a few drinks back, he followed the director back to the activity area to clear the table.

Chang Ji is a very cheerful girl, Zhao Mingzheng shook the two bottles of dark beer in his hand: "Do you want to drink the rest before going back?"

Ming Zheng smiled and said yes.Then the reporter realized that what he was speaking just now was in Cantonese...Ming Zheng seemed to understand?

She opened her eyes wide and asked in surprise, "Can you speak Cantonese?"

Mingzheng turned his face away and smiled at her: "I think so."

The reporter was shocked: "Then we usually make jokes about you in Cantonese and you understand it!"

I thought he didn't understand before. They always chatted loudly and loudly on the set, and maybe said a lot of things that shouldn't be said...

"Yeah." Ming Zheng suppressed a smile, "I don't care, it's okay."

After much deliberation, she finally took out her mobile phone and said to Ming Zheng mysteriously: "I'll show you something you're interested in, can you forget about the gossip we talked about?"

Mingzheng laughed: "What do you think I will be interested in?"

She lowered her head and poked her phone with a firm expression: "I guess you definitely want to watch it."

Changji took out her mobile phone and clicked. The signal on the ship was actually not very good, and the network was intermittent. She frowned and fiddled with it. When she found it, she put the mobile phone in front of him with a smile, and said like a treasure: "Ms. Zheng's news, you Want to see it?"

Ming Zheng's expression changed.

"...Don't tell Director Li that I will show you the news about Mr. Zheng, or I will have my salary deducted." The reporter whispered, "That... Mr. Zheng went to a youth film festival some time ago as an award presenter, and came out Sometimes a reporter interviewed him, and he said that he might have asked for marriage, and these two days have been making headlines every day, and everyone is guessing who his partner is."

As she said that, she finally found a video: "That's it... the internet may be a bit stuck, so take your time."

It was too surprising and sudden, which caused Ming Zheng's mind to go blank at that moment, and he didn't know how to react.

... After not seeing Zheng Guanyu's face for a long time, he was a little flustered.That video was really stuck, and it seemed that his breathing and pulse were also stuck.

After loading for a long time, when Zheng Guanyu's face appeared on the screen, Mingzheng subconsciously clenched his fingers, and his breathing became disordered.

In the picture, the man was wearing a formal black suit and was striding out of the venue.

The flash still flashed exaggeratedly across the screen, Zheng Guanyu walked forward with a slight smile, and said a few words from time to time not to crowd, saying that everyone should pay attention to safety.

The camera almost hit Zheng Guanyu's face.Mingzheng stared at him intently, feeling that Zheng Guanyu looked much healthier, probably recovered a little, and looked good.

A group of media followed him all the way and asked many questions about his new movie, but he didn't answer at all.

When he was about to get to the car, a reporter suddenly asked loudly: "Mr. Zheng, the same-sex scandal that you spread earlier said that you..."

When Zheng Guanyu heard this sentence, he stopped in his tracks.

Amai next to him took his hand to signal him to continue walking, but he ignored it.

He turned around, frowned, and replied to the reporter very displeased: "Don't ask me that kind of boring question, I don't like that scandal, I'm very disgusted."

In fact, he seldom shakes his face in front of the camera, and has always been gentle and easy-going.

These impatient words made the chaotic media silent for a while.

Zheng Guanyu continued to walk forward under the protection of his assistant.

As soon as he left, another reporter asked behind him: "Mr. Zheng, what about the news that you were troubled by love..."

Zheng Guanyu seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, and stopped again.

He turned around, seemingly helpless, but still explained seriously: "I'm already with the person who made me fall in love, and I plan to propose marriage after a while, everyone treat me as a married person in the future. Don't say that I am trapped in love You are kidding me, I am willing to be trapped by the other party, and I will probably be trapped for a lifetime."

……

He never talked about relationship-related matters in any interviews, but today he suddenly said that he asked for marriage...

This is almost equivalent to announcing the relationship.

Ah Mai next to Zheng Guanyu was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he hurriedly took him into the car...

The media exploded in an instant, rushing up to the camera and the microphone, the scene was very out of control, and the security guards tried their best to open a way to protect Zheng Guanyu and move forward.

In the picture, Zheng Guanyu's face was extremely brightly illuminated by the flash... Mingzheng felt a little dazzled when he looked at it through the screen.

He has always been such a dazzling person.

Changji looked forward to seeing Mingzheng's reaction, but when she leaned over to take a look, she found that Mingzheng was rubbing his eyes, as if he was a little uncomfortable.

Changji was taken aback: "What's wrong?"

what happened?

nothing.

I just feel... I miss him very much.

Mingzheng stood up, returned the phone to the kind Xiao Changji, shook his head and said, "I'll go back to sleep first... Miss Yang, thank you for letting me see him."

He went back to the room.

The night was completely quiet, as if nothing had changed.

The ship was still swaying in this dangerous sea area, riding the wind and waves to approach the icy pole.

Mingzheng lay down on the bed, forced himself not to think about Zheng Guanyu, and fell into a drowsy sleep.
