Eat this toad [Entertainment]

Su Jinjiang slept until noon the next day.

Opening his eyes, he was alone on the bed again.Su Jinjiang squinted his eyes and looked at the edge of the curtain, the light was not too bright.The windows in Wei Tan's bedroom face southeast, so there is plenty of light in the morning and morning.After living here for a long time, Su Jinjiang has developed the ability to accurately judge the time by the intensity of the light passing through the curtains.

Picking up the phone, it was almost twelve o'clock.

Su Jinjiang got up quickly.Last night he was still thinking about making breakfast for Wei Tan today, but who would have slept until this time.

Su Jinjiang generally sleeps lightly. When he used to live in the dormitory, he would wake up at night when the roommate on the opposite bed got up.Fortunately, no one snored in the dormitory, otherwise he probably wouldn't be able to sleep well for four years.

For this reason, he was once ridiculed by his roommates: In the future, when you get married and sleep together at night, your wife turns over and you wake up. Can you still sleep tonight?

Su Jinjiang replied solemnly with a bitter face at the time: That's why I can't get married, I'm a single dog.

Unexpectedly, he met Wei Tan, this guy not only made no sound at all when he slept, he even woke up so lightly that he couldn't feel it.Many times before he went to sleep, he clearly hugged people tightly. When he woke up, he was still in the same posture of hugging people, but his arms were empty. He didn't know how Wei Tan got out, he was like a fish. slippery.

Su Jinjiang sat on the edge of the bed and scratched his hair, and suddenly thought of a common saying: one radish, one pit.

Wei Tan is a pit specially matched with his carrot.What a delightful thought.

After getting dressed, Su Jinjiang walked out of the bedroom with the pride of a carrot.

When I went downstairs, the restaurant was quiet.Sandwiches wrapped in plastic wrap were set on the table, but Wei Tan was nowhere to be seen.

"Going out?" Su Jinjiang wondered to himself.According to Wei Tan's habit, if Su Jinjiang was still awake when he went out, he would leave a note to save Su Jinjiang from worrying.

Turning around the room again, Su Jinjiang saw that the door of the chess and card room was ajar.The chess and card room was named by him. It was originally a small study room. After he lived in Wei Tan's house, he often drank tea and played chess with Wei Tan there, so he called it casually over time.

Su Jinjiang walked over and gently pushed the door a little wider.

Wei Tan stood in the middle of the room, lowered his head slightly, and stared intently at something on the floor.Behind him is the floor-to-ceiling glass window pasted with light-transmitting patterns. At this moment, it looks a bit like the rose window of a church, casting a patchwork of mottled light and shadow.

Su Jinjiang choked for breath.He seemed to have seen this scene in a dream, but the picture in the dream was not so clear.Wei Tan in front of him had a sense of sacredness, which made him not want to approach casually, for fear of breaking the tranquility.

Wei Tan noticed the movement at the door, looked up, and walked towards him, "What are you doing standing at the door?"

"Didn't dare to move." Su Jinjiang said sincerely, "Your look just now, with two feather dusters inserted, is an angel. I'm afraid to disturb your ascension."

Wei Tan: "..."

Su Jinjiang looked at the floor of the room, just like in his dream, there were some playing cards neatly placed on the floor.

"Are you still thinking about what we said last night?" Su Jinjiang asked, "What did you think of?"

"I didn't expect anything." Wei Tan glanced back at the cards, "Just laying them out for a look."

When Wei Tan used to write programs, if the thoughts in his mind were messy, he liked to shuffle some orderly little things and then arrange them neatly, using this method to organize his thoughts.

Today, however, this approach is not very effective.He played cards here for an hour, but he kept thinking about Su Jinjiang's diary.

"I read your diary when you were a child." Wei Tan said, "It's the one you wrote on your 12th birthday. At the end, if you still don't know how to repay society at the age of 24, you are willing to make a little contribution to reduce the world's population. "

Su Jinjiang: "..." Needless to say it so tactfully.

"Let's make a hypothesis." Wei Tan looked at him, "Suppose that something like that happened to you on your 24th birthday last time because you wrote this sentence when you were a child. From your point of view, what do you think should be Only by doing this can we avoid this kind of thing from happening again? Have you thought about this problem?"

"I must have thought about it." Su Jinjiang sighed, "If I am no longer unlucky and no longer useless, I probably don't need to jump off the building. But don't you think these two standards are very vague? Will I be unlucky? It’s not up to me. I don’t have a fixed standard for whether I’m useless. So after talking for a long time, it’s still the same as not saying anything in the end.”

Wei Tan was silent.His thinking is actually similar to Su Jinjiang's. "I hope that when I grow up, I will no longer be unlucky and useless", it seems like a very childish and simple wish, but in practice, there are no clear rules and standards.Leaving aside the point of "unlucky", it is difficult to define just "useless".Having made money, been liked by fans, or won a certain award, can it prove beyond a doubt that he is not a useless person?

Wei Tan feels that this is like writing a software whose purpose is unknown. He doesn't know what function he wants to achieve, so he can't think of an effective algorithm.

"Actually, I also have an idea." Su Jinjiang squatted down and flicked the cards on the ground, "If there is really such a thing as 'fate' in a person's life, this is what I think: 'fate' may be something that cannot be changed , just like this deck, there are only so many suits, no matter what kind of master you are, you can't conjure new tricks from it. Even if it is possible, which cards you will draw is also certain."

Wei Tan knelt down beside him, "What about 'luck'?"

Su Jinjiang picked up a ghost card, "Luck is how to draw these cards. For example, in some games, the ghost card is the biggest and everyone wants it. In other games, the hand The one with the joker loses. Unlike poker, the rules of real life are not fixed and the game changes all the time. If you draw a joker in an unfavorable situation, hold it in your hand and wait The rules change. The longer you hang on, the more cards you get and the better your chances of winning. If you quit early, you'll always have a bad hand and never have a chance to come back."

Wei Tan listened quietly.Su Jinjiang reached out his hand and snorted Wei Tan's hair, "I've thought a lot in the past six months, and finally I just figured out about this matter. No matter what happens in the future, even if the bad luck continues, I will not quit. Play to the end. Even if you can't win, you don't have to lose."

"Yeah." Wei Tan smiled, "I'm relieved to have your words. You must always remember."

"Remember." Su Jinjiang kissed Wei Tan's lips, "I will remember when you are here."

A few days later, Wei Tan held a launch conference for his new film.Soon, Wei Tan followed the crew and left the city.

Once Wei Tan left, Su Jinjiang's life became boring.The "Su Du" series on the audio platform is still being updated, but as soon as he sits in front of the device, he will think of the scene when Wei Tan accompanied him to record. They both use the same microphone. When one person records, the other person Playing silently by the side.

just now……

Su Jinjiang glanced at the empty seat beside him, feeling infinitely melancholy.

Fortunately, there are things like text messages and video calls that can ease the pain of long-distance relationships a little.

Every night Wei Tan would send him a good night message and a photo of the hotel where he stayed.Wei Tan lived in a room with a big bed. He spread out both quilts, put a shirt of Su Jinjiang on the chair beside the bed, and lifted up the corner of the empty quilt, just like Su Jinjiang Just slept there, and now I got up and went to the bathroom.

"Baby, you should take off the quilt next to you." Su Jinjiang said during the two people's video, "If you make it like this, it looks like there is an invisible person. Don't you feel creepy in the middle of the night?"

"I don't think so." Wei Tan said, "I sprayed a little of the perfume you often use on the quilt, and I can smell it as soon as I lie down."

Seeing his serious appearance, Su Jinjiang couldn't help but want to tease him, "You said that if you fell asleep at night, forgetting that you were in a hotel, and hugged him beside you, there would be someone lying there, What to do? How terrible!"

Wei Tan was unmoved: "Speak well, don't tell horror stories just because you disagree."

Just as he was talking, he saw a shadow swaying behind Wei Tan.

"Damn it!" Su Jinjiang suddenly turned pale, shrank back, and pointed at the screen in horror, "There is someone behind you! There is a real person!! I didn't lie to you, just turn around and look!!"

Wei Tan didn't look back, but looked at him like a retarded son.

A hand stretched out from the corner of the screen, and put a glass of water beside Wei Tan.Wei Tan's assistant Xiao An put his face in front of the camera and said calmly, "Brother Su, play slowly."

Su Jinjiang: "..."

Wei Tan is very busy, and there is not much time for the two of them to video.In order to pass the lonely and empty days, Su Jinjiang learned Italian again.There is nothing more boring than memorizing a dictionary when you are in a bad mood.

He bought several whiteboards from the Internet and placed them in various places in the room. He copied 10 words and 10 example sentences on post-it notes and pasted them.Read it while brushing your teeth and washing your face, while washing dishes, and while exercising, until you can recite these 10 example sentences as smoothly as drinking water without thinking, and then stick a new sticky note on it.The whiteboard is completely covered, and then another layer is pasted on top of it, and it is pasted layer by layer until my intensive phobia is about to attack, and then tear it all off.

This is a way to accumulate a sense of accomplishment, and it is especially effective for Su Jinjiang.Especially the moment when the thick sticky notes were torn off in twos and threes, it couldn't be more comfortable.

In order to further motivate himself to study hard every day, Su Jinjiang posted a circle of friends: [King Wang Shan Ri].The source is "The one who is good at the sun is the king, and the one who is good at the time is the king" in "Xunzi", which means that only by cherishing time can great things be achieved.

In view of the fact that the word "good day" is more likely to cause some ambiguity, Su Jinjiang specially matched a picture with eight big golden characters written: addicted to learning and unable to extricate himself.

As soon as this circle of friends was posted, Lei defeated a lot of friends in the circle.

Tang Wanran: [Sanlang, please pay attention to your character design. 】

Ding Ziyan: [mdzz]

Yu Fei: [Hahahahaha]

……

Su Jinjiang waited to see what Wei Tan had to say, but Wei Tan only liked it, didn't leave a message, and didn't send a text message to comment.

Su Jinjiang was very upset, and after a day, he updated another circle of friends: [Day after day].The picture is still the eight big golden characters.

Tang Wanran: [Sanlang, you are enough. 】

Ding Ziyan: [mdzz! ! ! 】

Yu Fei: [emmmmm]

……

Wei Tan still didn't leave a message this time, and sent a good night text message as usual in the evening, with a smiling little sun emoji.

Wei Tan: [Here you are, this is today’s amount]

Wei Tan: [Are you satisfied? If you are satisfied, stop posting on Moments tomorrow.They have come to me these two days asking if you are too hungry|thirsty. 】

Su Jinjiang: 【...Why do you insist on misinterpreting my meaning? !Why do you just refuse to believe that I am really obsessed with studying? !why? ! 】

Wei Tan: 【You can only ask yourself this question. 】

Time passed day by day, and finally, a piece of good news came from Wan Jin: "The Palace of Eternal Life" was officially finalized, and it will start broadcasting on a certain TV station at prime time at night after the year.

For Su Jinjiang, this is double good news.As soon as the show started broadcasting, all the rumors about him being banned on the Internet were self-defeating.In this way, the film studios who were afraid to ask him to cooperate with him no longer have any worries, and he can receive the job again.

After the news of the finalization of "The Palace of Eternal Life" was officially announced, Su Tang finally let go of more than half of the heart that had been hanging over the past few months.In addition, it was the Chinese New Year, and the "Sugar Shop" was full of joy, and every day someone posted bright red festive pictures.

"Xinxing Culture"'s promotion of "The Palace of Eternal Life" is relatively low-key, and there is basically no other action except for the release of the news of the finalization.However, due to all kinds of hacks and explosions before, "The Palace of Eternal Life" has already been heated up in waves of active or passive public opinion.As soon as the trailer was released, it attracted countless attentions, and it became the only TV series in the past year that was on the top search list just because of the trailer.

However, although the popularity is high, many people are not very optimistic about this drama.Some people think that this way of putting new wine in old bottles does not have the advantage of attracting young audiences, and I am afraid that they can only rely on fans to bring topics; .

Amidst all kinds of speculation, "The Palace of Eternal Life" started broadcasting as scheduled.

Su Tang, who haven't seen Su Jinjiang's new drama for so long, has long been bored.On the night of the broadcast, as soon as Su Jinjiang, dressed as the emperor, appeared on the stage, the "Sugar Shop" exploded, and [awsl] with various emoticons swiped the screen like a tide.Yan Fans expressed with great relief: The time has come for us to contract my screensaver for a year.

Career fans are also very pleasantly surprised.In this play, Su Jinjiang's performance span is very large. He plays two characters, but it can also be said to be four characters: Tang Xuanzong in his prime, Tang Xuanzong in his twilight, Li Heng as the prince, and Li Heng as the emperor. Li Heng. The scene of "Mawei Change" is a key node in the cross-transformation of these four characters. Whether to go to Shu for refuge or return to Chang'an to fight, the choice at this moment determines how the rest of your life will be spent.

Tang Xuanzong chose to go to Shu, and the prince chose to return to Chang'an.

Since Tang Xuanzong and the prince are both played by Su Jinjiang, the roles of the two characters form a wonderful intertextuality, as if witnessing the overlapping life trajectories of the same person in the layered time and space.

At the end of the episode, Tang Xuanzong’s final exit was explained in a surreal way: the still young, handsome and vigorous Tang Xuanzong stood in front of the throne, looking at the prince Li Heng who walked up the steps through the white jade pendant hanging from the front of the crown , and then slowly disappeared under the gaze of the prince.

The moment the two figures overlap and alternate on the screen, fate seems to have completed a silent reincarnation here.

A floating dream, that's all.

During the broadcast of "The Palace of Eternal Life", Wan Jin specially arranged an exclusive interview for Su Jinjiang.The interviewer was an influential people magazine in China, and the interview location was at Su's villa.

Pan Yulan also dressed up and took a few "life photos" with Su Jinjiang playing with flowers and plants in the greenhouse, showing to the outside world that the ups and downs of the past six months did not have a negative impact on Su Jinjiang's personal life , his family is more harmonious than ever, and his posture is more calm.

During the interview, when asked what he thought of the work "The Palace of Eternal Life", Su Jinjiang replied:

"For me, this "Palace of Eternal Life" is not a story about love, but a story about losing myself and pursuing myself. I think everyone's life is a story written for themselves and acted out for themselves. Many viewers will come and go, but only you will persist in pursuing the ending and give yourself an explanation."

After this issue of the magazine was published, the mainstream media's attitude towards Su Jinjiang and the Fund Gate incident gradually came to a conclusion.

Not long after, Xie Zixin asked Su Jinjiang and Wan Jin to have a meal together.There was a chat at the table, and no one talked about work-related matters.

Then, "Song of White Snow" resumed work.

The glacial period of Su Jinjiang's life and career seems to be slowly thawing with the coming of spring.

In the early stage of "Song of White Snow", the location scenes and martial arts scenes were almost filmed. This time, the main filming is studio scenes, so there is no need to leave the city.Su Jinjiang met Cheng Dao and Yao Jing again, and felt like old friends who had been away for half a lifetime.

Although he has a job and is not so empty, Su Jinjiang still counts the days on his fingers every day, waiting anxiously for Wei Tan to go home.

The filming of Wei Tan's new movie is going well and will be finished soon.Calculating the date, the finishing time was just around the time of Su Jinjiang's 23rd birthday.

"I want a gift." On the set of "Song of White Snow", Su Jinjiang sat in the lounge and took a break from his busy schedule to video chat with Wei Tan, "You have neglected me for so long this time, and I am all by myself during the Chinese New Year. You have to make it up to me."

"What do you want?" Wei Tan said, "I can only afford a house."

"Can't you bring some high-end gifts?" Su Jinjiang despised Wei Tan's taste, "For example, come to a uniform play or something."

"You have a uniform?" Wei Tan frowned.

"I actually saw a set of cosplay clothes on the Internet. The workmanship is good and it can be customized. How about I post a picture for you to see?" Su Jinjiang was about to look through the pictures saved in his phone, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly smiled to himself , "Oh, I'll go, forget it, it's too shameful. I don't know what's wrong with me recently, I just want to do something with you that I haven't done before."

Wei Tan glanced at him, and his voice softened a bit, "Did you see 'that' again during this time?"

Without too much explanation, Su Jinjiang knew what he meant by "that"—it was the kind of "omen" that Su Jinjiang had seen.

"No." Su Jinjiang said, "It's been a long time, and it never happened again."

Wei Tan snorted, but didn't say much.

"That's fine too," Su Jinjiang smiled, "It's not clear if you don't see it. Maybe nothing happened when you were fine, but if you saw something, you would think too much and scare yourself."

"Yeah." Wei Tan also smiled, "It's fine."

The two were silent for a few seconds, and Wei Tan suddenly said, "Send it here."

"Send what?" Su Jinjiang was startled.

"The picture of the clothes." Wei Tan said, "Let me see."

"No, no, no, let's go." Su Jinjiang shook his head, "I changed my mind. You will definitely want to scold me after reading it. You vulgar hearts can't accept elegant things. Look at me, I will send you a "king of goodness" Day' you all think of other things, how unteachable are children."

"Don't talk so much nonsense, just post it if you want." Wei Tan said, "Hurry up, maybe I like it."

Su Jinjiang couldn't help it, "Okay, I'll send it to you. Then let's end the video here today, I can't bear to see your face."

After finishing the video call, Su Jinjiang sent the picture.

Two minutes later, Wei Tan sent a text message.

Wei Tan: [this, special, what, yes, yes, what, what]

Su Jinjiang: [……………… I will not post it anymore, you must let me post it]

Su Jinjiang: [Forget everything that happened today, it's all an illusion]

After filming a major scene in the afternoon, the crew called it a day.

When Su Jinjiang arrived at the parking lot, he habitually tried to reach for his cell phone, but found nothing.

"I left it in the dressing room, right?" Assistant Xiao Ning said, "We forgot to check when we left just now. I'll go back and get it."

"No need." Su Jinjiang said, "Go and drive, I'll go back and get it."

The filming conditions in the studio are relatively good, and several leading actors have their own independent dressing rooms.

Su Jinjiang opened the door and fumbled for the light switch on the wall.Xiao Ning usually opens the door and turns on the light, but he never noticed where the switch is.

When he turned his head, Su Jinjiang was startled.

A person stood not far from him.The light in the room was very dark, but the silhouette of that person could be seen clearly.

"Have you found Brother Su?" Xiao Ning's voice came over, along with hurried footsteps.

Su Jinjiang came back to his senses, and the strange scene in front of him disappeared immediately.

Xiao Ning walked in quickly, touched behind a shelf against the wall, and the light instantly lit up.

"It suddenly occurred to me that you might not be able to find the light switch, and it was blocked by this shelf." Xiao Ning said, "I also searched for a long time when I entered this room for the first time."

Su Jinjiang didn't quite hear what Xiao Ning was saying, and looked into the depths of the room in a daze.

There is no one in that place.

Of course there will be no one.

He knew exactly what he saw.After such a long time, he saw the scene that could be called a "harbinger" again.

Even though it was only for a moment, Su Jinjiang could still see the figure clearly.In fact, he didn't "see" clearly, he just knew that the figure was himself.

That he seems to be standing on a higher place, as if looking down, but also looking forward.There was no unnecessary expression on his face, whether it was sad or happy, he just stood there quietly.

But it was such an expression without definite meaning that gave Su Jinjiang a strong psychological shock at that moment just now.Maybe it was the shock of seeing himself so unexpectedly, or maybe it was because that expression gave him an indescribable intuition.

It's like the falling frame at the end of the camera movement.

The more he thought about it, the more certain he became.

--"it's over".

Back home, Su Jinjiang sent a text message to Wei Tan: [Call me when I'm done, I have something to tell you]

Wei Tan's phone call came back after a while, "What's wrong?"

"Just now... I saw 'that' again." Su Jinjiang said.

Wei Tan was silent for a while, and asked, "What's it like?"

Su Jinjiang briefly described the image he saw just now, "I think... what I saw was a scene that would happen on my 24th birthday."

"You mean next year's birthday?" Wei Tan asked.

"Yes." Su Jinjiang said, "Next year's birthday."

On his birthday next year, he should reach a high place at some point.

If the three years of his rebirth were a long motion shot, then that moment would be an ending point.

But what kind of end is that, whether it is the end of tempering or the end of life, he still doesn't know.
