有罪
Chapter 5 Acting Well
Shen Zui and Yan Mingyang met for the first time when they were 14 years old.
At that time, he was still called Shen Xiaotu, and he spoke a soft and authentic southern dialect. He was thin and small, and looked a little malnourished.
Dragging a sack of worthless belongings alone, Xiaotu walked several miles under the hot July sun, and took a private minibus to Qishi, dozens of kilometers away, to find his biological mother, whom he had never met.
China and Pakistan are seriously overloaded and do not turn on the air conditioner.The little tu was so crowded that his face was flushed, and he almost suffocated to death from heat stroke.
The driver was a rough middle-aged man who promised to send everyone to the destination when he collected the money, but he refused to accept the payment when he arrived in Qishi, and arbitrarily drove the passengers off the bus at the gate of the bus station.
My mother gave me an address perfunctorily, but didn't come to pick me up at the station.
Xiaotu has very little money on him.
He wanted to keep it for dinner, and he was not even willing to buy his saliva.
The large bus stop sign at the entrance of the bus station has a bus route map in the city, marking the station names and important landmarks along the way, which is equivalent to a rough map.
Xiaotu does not intend to take the bus, nor is he willing to ask strangers for directions.Dragging his heavy luggage, he stood in front of the stop sign, staring intently at the densely packed small characters, trying to find out the route by himself.
At the bus station, people came and went, pushing and shoving, and someone kicked their feet unintentionally, and the already loose luggage fell apart in an instant after the bumpy road.
There are a lot of things inside, which are bundled together in large and small bags, including quilts, clothes, and some worn-out exercise books and so on.
Little Tu couldn't find who did it, so he could only squat down and pick it up slowly.
"Little devil, is this book yours?" Suddenly, a smiling voice sounded above his head.
The little tu was picking up things and was upset.He slightly raised his head, and saw that what the man handed over was his own exercise book, he reached out to take it back.
"Hey," the man snapped his arms, pointed to a big math problem on the open page that investigated the geometric properties of ellipses, and said in a somewhat humorous tone, "You did this problem wrong."
Xiaotu's face, which was already sweating from the heat, turned even redder.He stood up, snapped back the exercise book, hurriedly stuffed it into the sack, and hummed like a mosquito.
"Yan Mingyang, don't you want to go?" Someone shouted from afar.
"Let's go first!" Yan Mingyang waved his hands at his companion, squatted down beside Xiaotu, and helped him pick it up together, "Why are you alone, there is no adult to pick you up."
Only then did Xiao Tu see the man's face clearly.
Relying on human instinct and simple aesthetics, Xiaotu thinks this person looks good.
On par with myself.
Yan Mingyang was carrying a good-looking black mountaineering bag and wearing a school uniform. He was much taller than Xiaotu, a junior high school student, and seemed a bit oppressive.
He has the school badge and school name printed on his chest.
Xiaotu silently paid attention to Qishi No. [-] Middle School.
There is a huge gap in urban education levels.It takes several years for one or two people from their village to pass the high school, and it is still through the recommended places allocated to each township, which has a certain "caring nature".
So Xiaotu whispered, "Did you really do the wrong question just now?"
"Huh?" Yan Mingyang was helping him pick up things, and he smirked when he heard the words, "Yeah, I was so wrong."
"........."
"What's your name?" Seeing that Xiaotu was silent, Yan Mingyang asked proactively.
"Shen Xiaotu."
"Little Rabbit?" Yan Mingyang didn't seem to believe that this was his real name, "What a cute name."
Shen Xiaotu knew that he must have guessed the wrong word, so he didn't speak again.
After picking up the things, Yan Mingyang asked, "Which bus do you take?"
Shen Xiaotu raised his head in bewilderment, as if he didn't understand the motive of Yan Mingyang's question.
The light at four o'clock in the midsummer afternoon, between the scorching flames and the languid darkness, is impeccably bright and intense.
Yan Mingyang rubbed Xiao Tu's head casually, he thought this child was very interesting.
"You carry so many things, it's inconvenient to squeeze the bus alone." Yan Mingyang said with a smile.
The river wind blew the sunshine on his forehead, and this noisy and chaotic world seemed to be a little quieter.
Xiaotu pursed her lips, and the layers of sweat on her face were blown by the wind, and after drying, it looked like tears falling straight down.
His voice was a bit hoarse, which is not common for teenagers, and he didn't know whether it was from tiredness or from crying.
"I'm not going to take the bus."
After Xiaotu finished speaking, he lowered his head.
Yan Mingyang was stunned for a few seconds.
"That's it." He bent down and made his eyes level with Xiaotu, with a frank smile in his eyes, "I don't plan to take the bus either."
"Where are you going? I'll take a taxi and take you there."
Years later, Xiao Tu still remembered this afternoon.
Yan Mingyang sent him downstairs, but he insisted that he could carry all the luggage upstairs.
No one opened the door at the address given by her mother, and Xiaotu was hungry, so she sat alone on the stairs in front of the door and waited until late at night.
Then came a woman with heavy makeup and black silk high heels. She had a pair of beautiful double eyelids and a mouth full of alcohol.
Facing this strange child, the mother couldn't hide the disgust on her face.Impatiently, she threw away some pitifully small money, telling Xiao Tu not to cause trouble, let alone go out to find her, and after returning to the house, she lay down on the bed, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
The door was still locked.He didn't expect his mother to be kind to him.
There was no edible food in the refrigerator, so Xiaotu boiled a pot of hot water to drink by himself, thinking about how long he could live with this little money.
Little Tu is poor, tired and hungry, but today he is somewhat happy.
Because at last something good happened to him.
Met Yan Mingyang at the station.
It may be that God can hear the voice of people.
One evening a few days later, Xiaotu came back from picking up vegetable leaves in the vegetable market, and was pleasantly surprised to find that Yan Mingyang was standing downstairs.
Xiao Tu ran forward with a plastic bag in his hands, wiped his hands on his clothes, and tiptoed to pat Yan Mingyang.
Yan Mingyang seemed to freeze for a moment, perhaps it was an instinctive reaction.
Afterwards, he turned around and slowly raised the corners of his mouth when he saw Xiaotu, "Little Tu."
Xiaotu was very happy, "You came to play with me?"
"Hmm..." Yan Mingyang paused and said, "Can you do the ellipse question last time?"
Xiaotu shook his head, a little embarrassed.
He has been busy filling his stomach these days.
Yan Mingyang kept smiling, and took the plastic bag containing the vegetables from Xiaotu.
The traps and tribulations in the world probably have the most attractive faces.
"In the future, let me teach you." Yan Mingyang said.
Qi City is a bit far from Beijing.
Shen Zui parked the car in the underground parking lot of the high-speed rail station, and bought a high-speed rail ticket for the latest trip to Beijing.
There are not many people in the waiting room at night.Shen Zui found a corner seat and sat down, inserted the phone card back, and began to flip through the address book from top to bottom.
He had to find someone to get the invitation letter for that reception first.
Just when Shen Zui was about to call Bai Jiu, Sister Lu called again.
"Intoxicated!" Sister Lu was more anxious this time than last time, "Why did you just hang up and lose contact?"
Shen Zui just crossed the road after calling Sister Lu, the WI-FI was cut off, and the SIM card was not inserted.
"Nothing." Shen Zui said.
"It's nothing!" Sister Lu seemed to be walking, and there was some noise on the other end of the phone, "Shen Zui, why are you asking for news about Pei Yan?"
Shen Zui didn't hide anything, "I'm going to Beijing, I'll find a chance to have a face-to-face meeting with Director Pei."
"You weren't so determined to win "Insufficiency" at the beginning?" Sister Lu was a little confused, and hesitated to speak, "We didn't have much hope in the first place, let alone Mr. Yan pushed Wang Ge now."
"The interlinkage of interests is very deep. Wang Ge's company not only has investment, but also helps arrange films."
Chen Zui rubbed his chin, snorted softly, his eyes were unclear, "People gather because of profit, and they will definitely disperse because of profit."
"But,"
"Sister Lu," Shen Zui interrupted neatly, "You don't have to worry about this matter, I'll do it myself."
"You are an artist under me, how can I ignore you?" Sister Lu was a little anxious, "It's not that I don't want you to compete for "Insufficiency".
The announcement sounded in the waiting room, and the high-speed train bound for Beijing was about to start ticket checking, and there were already many people queuing in front of the gates.
"I know." Shen Zui stood up unhurriedly, "Send me a copy of the script of "Out of Temperature"."
Sister Lu was silent for a moment, noncommittal, "Where are you now?"
"Qi City High-speed Railway Station." Shen Zui said, "I came here by car, I have to work hard for the driver to drive the car back to Shanghai."
"Qi City? Are you home?" Sister Lu was a little surprised, "Then you,"
"I'm fine." Shen Zui was calm and determined, and walked towards the ticket gate while talking, "Just send me the script."
"Don't forget, I am intoxicated."
The script for the audition was not complete, Shen Zui went through it and remembered it in his heart.
He found Baijiu to get the admission ticket, and he showed up at the reception on time two days later.
"Director Pei is arrogant, he's here, he's staying in the lounge by himself." After entering the arena, Bai Jiu said to Shen Zui, "I guess he won't come down until later."
Shen Zui: "It's fine."
It is more convenient for Pei Yan not to be in the public area.
Shen Zui glanced at the elevator.
Baijiu also knows the career dilemma of intoxication.He thought for a while, "I will write the theme song for "Out of Temperature". If it doesn't work, you can still act in the MV."
"........."
Just as Shen Zui was about to speak, he saw Pei Yan's secretary walking towards the elevator.
"I'll go first." Shen Zui casually patted Bai Jiu's shoulder, "Thank you this time."
Shen Zui entered the elevator room with Pei Yan's secretary and several others, remembering the floor the secretary pressed.
He didn't want to arouse suspicion, so he pressed the 88th floor casually.After everyone went out, they returned to the floor where Pei Yan was.
Pei Yanxi is quiet, there is no one else on this floor.
The secretary seemed to have left, Shen Zui knocked on the door.
Pei Yanxu thought that the secretary had gone and came back, so he opened the door very quickly, and said in an impatient tone, "What's the matter?"
After the door was pushed open, Shen Zui immediately took a step inside and said respectfully, "Hello, Director Pei."
Seeing that he was intoxicated, Pei Yan was taken aback for a moment, and then there was some coldness between his brows.
"Shen Zui, you are a serious actor, don't do these things." Pei Yan also heard the allusion of Shen Zui "dining" with a male star, and misunderstood his intentions.
"Director Pei, you misunderstood." Shen Zui took advantage of the situation and walked in, closing the door, "I'm here to fight for an audition."
"Get an audition?" Pei Yan is a young director, only [-] years old this year.He is completely different from Xia Rusen, and has a deep connection with capital.
"Yes." Shen Zui raised his head slightly, he seemed to have entered the role from this moment.
"I remember, I have already given you the audition script." Pei Yan looked at it carefully for a moment, "You go, go back and wait for the notice."
After finishing speaking, Pei Yan walked back to the sofa and sat down, looked at the computer by himself, without giving Shen Zui another look.
Shen Zui knew that convincing Pei Yan would not be an easy task.
But this is his only hope.
"Director Pei," Shen Zui said directly, "I know Mr. Yan has already recommended Wang Ge to you."
Pei Yan hummed casually, "So what."
"Wang Ge's company has investment, so it's reasonable to schedule a film." Shen Zui took two steps forward cautiously, "Do you really still consider people other than Wang Ge?"
"After all, you are different from Director Xia."
"What?" The last sentence caught Pei Yan's attention.He closed the computer and stood up, "Shen Zui, you're motivating me, right?"
Shen Zui said calmly, "I didn't."
Pei Yan sneered, "If that's the case, then I won't hide it from you, I'm already planning to use Wang Ge."
"Quoting a famous quote from your director Xia when you made your debut," Pei Yan said with a bit of yin and yang, "Only an incompetent director needs to rely on actors to take the lead."
Shen Zui was quiet, and continued to strike while the iron was hot, "But are you really willing?"
"With an actor like Wanger, you'll never beat Tassel."
Pei Yan's eyes suddenly sank.
"Director Xia is indeed old, but there are people who come later." Shen Zui raised his head, looked directly at Pei Yan, and said, "With Wang Ge, you will only lose to different Xia Rusen in the Silver Cloud Awards again and again. "
"Intoxicated!" Pei Yan yelled as if he had been poked at a sore spot.
"You act better than Wanger." He gritted his teeth, as if he could see something from the intoxicated determination, "But you tell me, I choose you, what should I do with the filming?"
Shen Zui knew that Pei Yan had already been persuaded.
"You just need to tell Mr. Yan that I am better than Wang Ge." Shen Zui said, "I can handle the rest."
"Did you handle Yan Mingyang?" Pei Yan almost laughed, "Do you think he is a good person?"
Shen Zui did not answer this question.
From the moment he pierced Yan Mingyang's photo, he had made up his mind that he would never make Yan Mingyang feel better.
He not only wanted "Out of Temperature", but also many, many other things.
Just like what he said to Liu Heng, money, status, fame, the pursuit of everyone...
And more importantly, deceit, use, and Yan Mingyang's sincerity and pain.
A tooth for a tooth, blood for blood.
The most pristine fairness in the world.
"It's not important." Faced with Pei Yan's sneer, Shen Zui said indifferently, "I just ask you if you are willing."
Pei Yan looked at Shen Zui, as if trying to see something.
After a while.
"Do you know why Yan Mingyang wanted to help Wang Ge?" Pei Yan sat back on the sofa, but did not answer Shen Zui's question.
Shen Zui didn't care, but still cooperated, "Why?"
Pei Yan lit a cigarette, "The capital behind Wang Ge is the brother company of Yan Mingyang's old boss, and he helped a lot after he came out to do it alone."
Hearing this, it seems to be a story of gratitude.
But there was no fluctuation in intoxication, "And then?"
"Then?" Pei Yan took a puff of cigarette, then let it out leisurely, "Yan Mingyang took a bite back, and made him lose everything in a big project."
"It can be said that he, Yan, can have today's business territory, stepping on the blood of others to climb up step by step."
"After the trick was over, Yan Mingyang didn't want to completely tear his face, so he gave him a sweet date. We are all in the same circle, no matter how much the other party hates him, in the face of interests, he can only be a stalker."
"Oh." Shen Zui politely perfunctory.
"I'm a magnanimous person, so I don't need to worry about you fooling me before." Pei Yan raised his eyebrows, "It's not difficult to talk to Yan Mingyang."
"It's just that he's not like me, he still has some scruples about art."
"Are you sure it's good for you?"
Shen Zui thought for a while, and said seriously, "After all, this will not do you any harm."
Coming out of Pei Yan's room, Shen Zui returned to the banquet hall.
The air is mixed with human voices and music, filled with the smell of high-end cuisine and red wine, and occasionally some smell of powder and perfume.
This time, Shen Zui found a conspicuous booth and sat down.
After a while, the "fish" really took the bait.
In the past few days, Wang Ge was upset about Xia Rusen, but at the reception, he saw Shen Zui coming from a distance. It can be said that both new and old hatreds came together.
"Yo, you still dare to come." Wang Ge said sarcastically, "What are you planning to 'act' this time?"
What are you playing?
Of course I play you.
Shen Zui sat motionless and did not speak.
Wanger is obviously not going to let it go.He also sat down, kicked his intoxicated legs under the belly of the table, leaned closer and said viciously, "I don't want to act in a movie like "Spring Rest" with a face full of shame."
"I just want to squeeze you down."
Shen Zui lazily rolled his eyelids with a look of contempt.
Wang Ge was enraged, and began to bite like a mad dog, "I heard that you also fought for "Insufficiency"? Stop dreaming!"
"If you hadn't seduced Liu Heng to speak for you back then, "Tassel" would have chosen you?!"
"You little bastard,"
Drunkenly stood up.He deliberately retracted his right hand into his cuff, making a fist.
Wang Ge also stood up leisurely, and walked around in front of Shen Zui, blocking his way out, "You want to use one trick on me twice? I'm yuck!"
Not far away, many people have noticed the strangeness here, but everyone has heard of the festival between Wang Ge and Shen Zui.
Due to Wang Ge's background, no one is willing to shoot the first bird and take the initiative to step forward.
Wang Ge was quite proud of himself, and when he got closer, he wanted to vomit and was drunk.
Shen Zui seized the opportunity, and said in a low voice that only the two of them could hear at close range, "Do you think I won't let you relive The Laughing Man in front of everyone?"
Wang Ge broke out in a cold sweat subconsciously. A nightmare suddenly occurred, and he instinctively pushed Shen Zui away violently.
Shen Zui You was good at close-to-body combat, and immediately fell on the low table between the booths, hitting the sharp corner of the table with his right wrist.
He fell to the ground with a cry of pain, his right hand hangs weakly in front of the table, and bright red blood dripped down the translucent corner of the table in an instant.
Drizzling, very scary.
"Ah! Shen Zui, why did you cut your wrist like this!"
Finally, people gradually gathered around, "Quick, call 120!"
"Let's bandage first!"
...
"You," Wang Ge realized that he was being tricked again, "what tricks are you playing!"
Shen Zui's voice was weak, with a bit of restrained grievance, "Obviously you pushed me,"
"You!" Wang Ge couldn't tell. In a rage, he pushed everyone away and rushed forward to strike, "You bitch!"
"Wang Ge!" Bai Jiu had just surrounded him.He finally couldn't bear it anymore, "Last time at the annual meeting, I didn't expose you for the sake of President Yan."
"The other day you swore that Shen Zui was going to kill you with a knife, why did I see Shen Zui being pushed to the ground by you when I went in!"
...
Shen Zui didn't speak.His lips were white and his forehead was sweating, as if he had lost his strength from the pain.
Those who were going to fight and those who were going to fight were in a mess, until Yan Mingyang and several other investors finally appeared.
"What are you doing?" Yan Mingyang still brought the second secretary with him.He came here only after hearing the commotion here, and the crowd dispersed, only to see Shen Zui alone on the ground, with his left hand gently wrapping around his right wrist, his eyes drooping.
His wrist was very thin, his skin was white, and as soon as the blood flowed away, it seemed that it was really about to break.
"Shen," Yan Mingyang almost blurted out subconsciously, the word Xiaotu.
Shen Zui raised his head upon hearing the sound, but lowered his head back at the moment his eyes met.
Like being burned.
"Boss Yan," Bai Jiu had already rolled up his sleeves, "Wang Ge pushed Shen Zui down in full view, and everyone saw it."
"I," Wang Ge stepped forward to argue, but found that Yan Mingyang was looking at Shen Zui with something wrong.
At this moment, Yan Mingyang's heart of pity and pity for jade came back to life.
Before coming to the banquet hall, Yan Mingyang met with Pei Yan.
Pei Yan volunteered that in terms of actors alone, Intoxication is more suitable for "Out of Temperature" than Wang Ge.
Yan Mingyang heard his implication.
To use intoxication means to solve the investment and film arrangement brought by Wanger from other places.
Investment is not a problem, and movies like "Out of Temperature" will not lack investment;
The trouble is arranging the films, which needs to be solved by Yan Mingyang.
Yan Mingyang did not express his opinion on the spot.
"Loss of Temperature" is different from "Spring Habitat".
"Loss of Temperature" is a project that Yan Mingyang absolutely cannot afford to lose.
Doctors and nurses from the neighboring hospital arrived and bandaged the drunk in the waiting room.
His wound was a bit deep, but fortunately, it was treated in time.
The reception had to continue, and the idlers gradually dispersed, and Wang Ge was temporarily controlled.
Yan Mingyang stood outside the corridor at the entrance of the lounge, not far from Shen Zui.
He remembered that Shen Xiaotu was so sad that he would die when he bumped into him in the past, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
Although Shen Xiaotu was kept in the dark, he didn't know that Yan Mingyang was deceiving;
But Yan Mingyang never went to see him after they parted, and Xiaotu must be sad and complaining in his heart.
So much so that after so many years, when they meet again, they would rather not look at each other.
Yan Mingyang lingered in the corridor for a moment, hesitating whether to go forward.
Number two mistakenly thought that Yan Mingyang was still thinking about Pei Yan's words.
She observed for a while, and decided to speak up, "Mr. Yan."
"Huh?" Yan Mingyang understood that No. [-] had something to say, "What's wrong."
"Unscrupulous artists are at great risk." No. [-] clearly pointed out.
Yan Mingyang raised his eyebrows, a little helpless.
Wang Ge hurt people in public today, and the whole circle can spread it before dawn.
Beating people is not big news in itself, but no one likes to use an actor who is not easy to control.
Doctors and nurses came out of the waiting room.
Yan Mingyang asked, "How is it?"
"It didn't hurt the vitals." The doctor said, "but it needs to be raised for a while, and there should be no sequelae."
In the lounge, Shen Zui half-closed his eyes, but his brain was spinning fast.
He wants to rebuild the "old relationship" with Yan Mingyang that doesn't exist. The first priority is not to let Yan Mingyang find out that he knew it was a scam back then.
If it is not found to be a scam, how should this scene be played?
Shen Zui calmly began to meditate.
The conversation outside the corridor stopped, and the footsteps gradually faded away.
Yan Mingyang seemed to be pacing in front of the door.
Shen Zui took a deep breath and closed his eyes for a while.
When he opened it again, he seemed to be another person.
He fumbled to stand up, opened the door carefully, stretched out his head to look around, and deliberately showed surprise when he saw Yan Mingyang and No. [-].
"Yan," Shen Zui doesn't know how to talk.He paused without showing any trace, and pursed his lips.
For some reason, at this moment Yan Mingyang instinctively felt that Shen Zui wanted to call him "Brother Yan".
"I'll go in and see him." Yan Mingyang left No. [-] outside the door.
After the door closed, Shen Zui finally raised his head, but he lowered it again after a while.
"Brother Yan, hello."
Yan Mingyang looked at Shen Zui's little face that was exactly the same as before, and couldn't bear it, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Well..." A bit of loneliness and self-blame appeared on the intoxicated face, "I'm sorry."
When he was outside the door, Yan Mingyang imagined the reaction of intoxication.
Acting like a baby, complaining, crying, and pretending to be chic are like passers-by.
I never thought it was sorry.
sorry?
What can Shen Xiaotu feel sorry for me?
Yan Mingyang paused, "What's wrong."
"It's all my fault that I went out to film and changed my name," Shen Zui casually sniffled, "Brother couldn't find me."
Suddenly, Yan Mingyang realized something.
Shen Zui was only 15 years old when he filmed "Tassel".
So according to his age, Shen Xiaotu was picked out by Xia Rusen not long after he returned to the village.
Also changed the name.
Daringly, this little rabbit not only didn't know that he was cheated, but also foolishly thought that it was his fault that they "lost contact" back then!
Yan Mingyang has both sides, and for the first time in his life, he encounters a scene where he doesn't know how to speak.
So Shen Zui seized the opportunity, raised his light red eyes, "Brother, can you take care of me?"
"........."
Yan Mingyang stayed in the lounge for a while.
When he came out, Number Two was still dutifully waiting at the door.
Yan Mingyang signaled No. [-] to follow, and walked a little further.
"What's wrong, Mr. Yan?" Number two realized something was wrong.
Yan Mingyang turned around and asked No. [-] in a quiet voice, with a very serious attitude, "Is Shen Zui really good at acting?"
Number two is actually an intoxicated movie fan.
It's just that as Yan's famous "information storage", she must remain passive and neutral.
She thought for a while, and said tactfully, "Director Pei Yan has always been very accurate in his eyes on actors. Speaking of the aura of acting, Wang Ge is more than [-] streets intoxicated."
--------------------
Our little Tu performed really well (..
At that time, he was still called Shen Xiaotu, and he spoke a soft and authentic southern dialect. He was thin and small, and looked a little malnourished.
Dragging a sack of worthless belongings alone, Xiaotu walked several miles under the hot July sun, and took a private minibus to Qishi, dozens of kilometers away, to find his biological mother, whom he had never met.
China and Pakistan are seriously overloaded and do not turn on the air conditioner.The little tu was so crowded that his face was flushed, and he almost suffocated to death from heat stroke.
The driver was a rough middle-aged man who promised to send everyone to the destination when he collected the money, but he refused to accept the payment when he arrived in Qishi, and arbitrarily drove the passengers off the bus at the gate of the bus station.
My mother gave me an address perfunctorily, but didn't come to pick me up at the station.
Xiaotu has very little money on him.
He wanted to keep it for dinner, and he was not even willing to buy his saliva.
The large bus stop sign at the entrance of the bus station has a bus route map in the city, marking the station names and important landmarks along the way, which is equivalent to a rough map.
Xiaotu does not intend to take the bus, nor is he willing to ask strangers for directions.Dragging his heavy luggage, he stood in front of the stop sign, staring intently at the densely packed small characters, trying to find out the route by himself.
At the bus station, people came and went, pushing and shoving, and someone kicked their feet unintentionally, and the already loose luggage fell apart in an instant after the bumpy road.
There are a lot of things inside, which are bundled together in large and small bags, including quilts, clothes, and some worn-out exercise books and so on.
Little Tu couldn't find who did it, so he could only squat down and pick it up slowly.
"Little devil, is this book yours?" Suddenly, a smiling voice sounded above his head.
The little tu was picking up things and was upset.He slightly raised his head, and saw that what the man handed over was his own exercise book, he reached out to take it back.
"Hey," the man snapped his arms, pointed to a big math problem on the open page that investigated the geometric properties of ellipses, and said in a somewhat humorous tone, "You did this problem wrong."
Xiaotu's face, which was already sweating from the heat, turned even redder.He stood up, snapped back the exercise book, hurriedly stuffed it into the sack, and hummed like a mosquito.
"Yan Mingyang, don't you want to go?" Someone shouted from afar.
"Let's go first!" Yan Mingyang waved his hands at his companion, squatted down beside Xiaotu, and helped him pick it up together, "Why are you alone, there is no adult to pick you up."
Only then did Xiao Tu see the man's face clearly.
Relying on human instinct and simple aesthetics, Xiaotu thinks this person looks good.
On par with myself.
Yan Mingyang was carrying a good-looking black mountaineering bag and wearing a school uniform. He was much taller than Xiaotu, a junior high school student, and seemed a bit oppressive.
He has the school badge and school name printed on his chest.
Xiaotu silently paid attention to Qishi No. [-] Middle School.
There is a huge gap in urban education levels.It takes several years for one or two people from their village to pass the high school, and it is still through the recommended places allocated to each township, which has a certain "caring nature".
So Xiaotu whispered, "Did you really do the wrong question just now?"
"Huh?" Yan Mingyang was helping him pick up things, and he smirked when he heard the words, "Yeah, I was so wrong."
"........."
"What's your name?" Seeing that Xiaotu was silent, Yan Mingyang asked proactively.
"Shen Xiaotu."
"Little Rabbit?" Yan Mingyang didn't seem to believe that this was his real name, "What a cute name."
Shen Xiaotu knew that he must have guessed the wrong word, so he didn't speak again.
After picking up the things, Yan Mingyang asked, "Which bus do you take?"
Shen Xiaotu raised his head in bewilderment, as if he didn't understand the motive of Yan Mingyang's question.
The light at four o'clock in the midsummer afternoon, between the scorching flames and the languid darkness, is impeccably bright and intense.
Yan Mingyang rubbed Xiao Tu's head casually, he thought this child was very interesting.
"You carry so many things, it's inconvenient to squeeze the bus alone." Yan Mingyang said with a smile.
The river wind blew the sunshine on his forehead, and this noisy and chaotic world seemed to be a little quieter.
Xiaotu pursed her lips, and the layers of sweat on her face were blown by the wind, and after drying, it looked like tears falling straight down.
His voice was a bit hoarse, which is not common for teenagers, and he didn't know whether it was from tiredness or from crying.
"I'm not going to take the bus."
After Xiaotu finished speaking, he lowered his head.
Yan Mingyang was stunned for a few seconds.
"That's it." He bent down and made his eyes level with Xiaotu, with a frank smile in his eyes, "I don't plan to take the bus either."
"Where are you going? I'll take a taxi and take you there."
Years later, Xiao Tu still remembered this afternoon.
Yan Mingyang sent him downstairs, but he insisted that he could carry all the luggage upstairs.
No one opened the door at the address given by her mother, and Xiaotu was hungry, so she sat alone on the stairs in front of the door and waited until late at night.
Then came a woman with heavy makeup and black silk high heels. She had a pair of beautiful double eyelids and a mouth full of alcohol.
Facing this strange child, the mother couldn't hide the disgust on her face.Impatiently, she threw away some pitifully small money, telling Xiao Tu not to cause trouble, let alone go out to find her, and after returning to the house, she lay down on the bed, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
The door was still locked.He didn't expect his mother to be kind to him.
There was no edible food in the refrigerator, so Xiaotu boiled a pot of hot water to drink by himself, thinking about how long he could live with this little money.
Little Tu is poor, tired and hungry, but today he is somewhat happy.
Because at last something good happened to him.
Met Yan Mingyang at the station.
It may be that God can hear the voice of people.
One evening a few days later, Xiaotu came back from picking up vegetable leaves in the vegetable market, and was pleasantly surprised to find that Yan Mingyang was standing downstairs.
Xiao Tu ran forward with a plastic bag in his hands, wiped his hands on his clothes, and tiptoed to pat Yan Mingyang.
Yan Mingyang seemed to freeze for a moment, perhaps it was an instinctive reaction.
Afterwards, he turned around and slowly raised the corners of his mouth when he saw Xiaotu, "Little Tu."
Xiaotu was very happy, "You came to play with me?"
"Hmm..." Yan Mingyang paused and said, "Can you do the ellipse question last time?"
Xiaotu shook his head, a little embarrassed.
He has been busy filling his stomach these days.
Yan Mingyang kept smiling, and took the plastic bag containing the vegetables from Xiaotu.
The traps and tribulations in the world probably have the most attractive faces.
"In the future, let me teach you." Yan Mingyang said.
Qi City is a bit far from Beijing.
Shen Zui parked the car in the underground parking lot of the high-speed rail station, and bought a high-speed rail ticket for the latest trip to Beijing.
There are not many people in the waiting room at night.Shen Zui found a corner seat and sat down, inserted the phone card back, and began to flip through the address book from top to bottom.
He had to find someone to get the invitation letter for that reception first.
Just when Shen Zui was about to call Bai Jiu, Sister Lu called again.
"Intoxicated!" Sister Lu was more anxious this time than last time, "Why did you just hang up and lose contact?"
Shen Zui just crossed the road after calling Sister Lu, the WI-FI was cut off, and the SIM card was not inserted.
"Nothing." Shen Zui said.
"It's nothing!" Sister Lu seemed to be walking, and there was some noise on the other end of the phone, "Shen Zui, why are you asking for news about Pei Yan?"
Shen Zui didn't hide anything, "I'm going to Beijing, I'll find a chance to have a face-to-face meeting with Director Pei."
"You weren't so determined to win "Insufficiency" at the beginning?" Sister Lu was a little confused, and hesitated to speak, "We didn't have much hope in the first place, let alone Mr. Yan pushed Wang Ge now."
"The interlinkage of interests is very deep. Wang Ge's company not only has investment, but also helps arrange films."
Chen Zui rubbed his chin, snorted softly, his eyes were unclear, "People gather because of profit, and they will definitely disperse because of profit."
"But,"
"Sister Lu," Shen Zui interrupted neatly, "You don't have to worry about this matter, I'll do it myself."
"You are an artist under me, how can I ignore you?" Sister Lu was a little anxious, "It's not that I don't want you to compete for "Insufficiency".
The announcement sounded in the waiting room, and the high-speed train bound for Beijing was about to start ticket checking, and there were already many people queuing in front of the gates.
"I know." Shen Zui stood up unhurriedly, "Send me a copy of the script of "Out of Temperature"."
Sister Lu was silent for a moment, noncommittal, "Where are you now?"
"Qi City High-speed Railway Station." Shen Zui said, "I came here by car, I have to work hard for the driver to drive the car back to Shanghai."
"Qi City? Are you home?" Sister Lu was a little surprised, "Then you,"
"I'm fine." Shen Zui was calm and determined, and walked towards the ticket gate while talking, "Just send me the script."
"Don't forget, I am intoxicated."
The script for the audition was not complete, Shen Zui went through it and remembered it in his heart.
He found Baijiu to get the admission ticket, and he showed up at the reception on time two days later.
"Director Pei is arrogant, he's here, he's staying in the lounge by himself." After entering the arena, Bai Jiu said to Shen Zui, "I guess he won't come down until later."
Shen Zui: "It's fine."
It is more convenient for Pei Yan not to be in the public area.
Shen Zui glanced at the elevator.
Baijiu also knows the career dilemma of intoxication.He thought for a while, "I will write the theme song for "Out of Temperature". If it doesn't work, you can still act in the MV."
"........."
Just as Shen Zui was about to speak, he saw Pei Yan's secretary walking towards the elevator.
"I'll go first." Shen Zui casually patted Bai Jiu's shoulder, "Thank you this time."
Shen Zui entered the elevator room with Pei Yan's secretary and several others, remembering the floor the secretary pressed.
He didn't want to arouse suspicion, so he pressed the 88th floor casually.After everyone went out, they returned to the floor where Pei Yan was.
Pei Yanxi is quiet, there is no one else on this floor.
The secretary seemed to have left, Shen Zui knocked on the door.
Pei Yanxu thought that the secretary had gone and came back, so he opened the door very quickly, and said in an impatient tone, "What's the matter?"
After the door was pushed open, Shen Zui immediately took a step inside and said respectfully, "Hello, Director Pei."
Seeing that he was intoxicated, Pei Yan was taken aback for a moment, and then there was some coldness between his brows.
"Shen Zui, you are a serious actor, don't do these things." Pei Yan also heard the allusion of Shen Zui "dining" with a male star, and misunderstood his intentions.
"Director Pei, you misunderstood." Shen Zui took advantage of the situation and walked in, closing the door, "I'm here to fight for an audition."
"Get an audition?" Pei Yan is a young director, only [-] years old this year.He is completely different from Xia Rusen, and has a deep connection with capital.
"Yes." Shen Zui raised his head slightly, he seemed to have entered the role from this moment.
"I remember, I have already given you the audition script." Pei Yan looked at it carefully for a moment, "You go, go back and wait for the notice."
After finishing speaking, Pei Yan walked back to the sofa and sat down, looked at the computer by himself, without giving Shen Zui another look.
Shen Zui knew that convincing Pei Yan would not be an easy task.
But this is his only hope.
"Director Pei," Shen Zui said directly, "I know Mr. Yan has already recommended Wang Ge to you."
Pei Yan hummed casually, "So what."
"Wang Ge's company has investment, so it's reasonable to schedule a film." Shen Zui took two steps forward cautiously, "Do you really still consider people other than Wang Ge?"
"After all, you are different from Director Xia."
"What?" The last sentence caught Pei Yan's attention.He closed the computer and stood up, "Shen Zui, you're motivating me, right?"
Shen Zui said calmly, "I didn't."
Pei Yan sneered, "If that's the case, then I won't hide it from you, I'm already planning to use Wang Ge."
"Quoting a famous quote from your director Xia when you made your debut," Pei Yan said with a bit of yin and yang, "Only an incompetent director needs to rely on actors to take the lead."
Shen Zui was quiet, and continued to strike while the iron was hot, "But are you really willing?"
"With an actor like Wanger, you'll never beat Tassel."
Pei Yan's eyes suddenly sank.
"Director Xia is indeed old, but there are people who come later." Shen Zui raised his head, looked directly at Pei Yan, and said, "With Wang Ge, you will only lose to different Xia Rusen in the Silver Cloud Awards again and again. "
"Intoxicated!" Pei Yan yelled as if he had been poked at a sore spot.
"You act better than Wanger." He gritted his teeth, as if he could see something from the intoxicated determination, "But you tell me, I choose you, what should I do with the filming?"
Shen Zui knew that Pei Yan had already been persuaded.
"You just need to tell Mr. Yan that I am better than Wang Ge." Shen Zui said, "I can handle the rest."
"Did you handle Yan Mingyang?" Pei Yan almost laughed, "Do you think he is a good person?"
Shen Zui did not answer this question.
From the moment he pierced Yan Mingyang's photo, he had made up his mind that he would never make Yan Mingyang feel better.
He not only wanted "Out of Temperature", but also many, many other things.
Just like what he said to Liu Heng, money, status, fame, the pursuit of everyone...
And more importantly, deceit, use, and Yan Mingyang's sincerity and pain.
A tooth for a tooth, blood for blood.
The most pristine fairness in the world.
"It's not important." Faced with Pei Yan's sneer, Shen Zui said indifferently, "I just ask you if you are willing."
Pei Yan looked at Shen Zui, as if trying to see something.
After a while.
"Do you know why Yan Mingyang wanted to help Wang Ge?" Pei Yan sat back on the sofa, but did not answer Shen Zui's question.
Shen Zui didn't care, but still cooperated, "Why?"
Pei Yan lit a cigarette, "The capital behind Wang Ge is the brother company of Yan Mingyang's old boss, and he helped a lot after he came out to do it alone."
Hearing this, it seems to be a story of gratitude.
But there was no fluctuation in intoxication, "And then?"
"Then?" Pei Yan took a puff of cigarette, then let it out leisurely, "Yan Mingyang took a bite back, and made him lose everything in a big project."
"It can be said that he, Yan, can have today's business territory, stepping on the blood of others to climb up step by step."
"After the trick was over, Yan Mingyang didn't want to completely tear his face, so he gave him a sweet date. We are all in the same circle, no matter how much the other party hates him, in the face of interests, he can only be a stalker."
"Oh." Shen Zui politely perfunctory.
"I'm a magnanimous person, so I don't need to worry about you fooling me before." Pei Yan raised his eyebrows, "It's not difficult to talk to Yan Mingyang."
"It's just that he's not like me, he still has some scruples about art."
"Are you sure it's good for you?"
Shen Zui thought for a while, and said seriously, "After all, this will not do you any harm."
Coming out of Pei Yan's room, Shen Zui returned to the banquet hall.
The air is mixed with human voices and music, filled with the smell of high-end cuisine and red wine, and occasionally some smell of powder and perfume.
This time, Shen Zui found a conspicuous booth and sat down.
After a while, the "fish" really took the bait.
In the past few days, Wang Ge was upset about Xia Rusen, but at the reception, he saw Shen Zui coming from a distance. It can be said that both new and old hatreds came together.
"Yo, you still dare to come." Wang Ge said sarcastically, "What are you planning to 'act' this time?"
What are you playing?
Of course I play you.
Shen Zui sat motionless and did not speak.
Wanger is obviously not going to let it go.He also sat down, kicked his intoxicated legs under the belly of the table, leaned closer and said viciously, "I don't want to act in a movie like "Spring Rest" with a face full of shame."
"I just want to squeeze you down."
Shen Zui lazily rolled his eyelids with a look of contempt.
Wang Ge was enraged, and began to bite like a mad dog, "I heard that you also fought for "Insufficiency"? Stop dreaming!"
"If you hadn't seduced Liu Heng to speak for you back then, "Tassel" would have chosen you?!"
"You little bastard,"
Drunkenly stood up.He deliberately retracted his right hand into his cuff, making a fist.
Wang Ge also stood up leisurely, and walked around in front of Shen Zui, blocking his way out, "You want to use one trick on me twice? I'm yuck!"
Not far away, many people have noticed the strangeness here, but everyone has heard of the festival between Wang Ge and Shen Zui.
Due to Wang Ge's background, no one is willing to shoot the first bird and take the initiative to step forward.
Wang Ge was quite proud of himself, and when he got closer, he wanted to vomit and was drunk.
Shen Zui seized the opportunity, and said in a low voice that only the two of them could hear at close range, "Do you think I won't let you relive The Laughing Man in front of everyone?"
Wang Ge broke out in a cold sweat subconsciously. A nightmare suddenly occurred, and he instinctively pushed Shen Zui away violently.
Shen Zui You was good at close-to-body combat, and immediately fell on the low table between the booths, hitting the sharp corner of the table with his right wrist.
He fell to the ground with a cry of pain, his right hand hangs weakly in front of the table, and bright red blood dripped down the translucent corner of the table in an instant.
Drizzling, very scary.
"Ah! Shen Zui, why did you cut your wrist like this!"
Finally, people gradually gathered around, "Quick, call 120!"
"Let's bandage first!"
...
"You," Wang Ge realized that he was being tricked again, "what tricks are you playing!"
Shen Zui's voice was weak, with a bit of restrained grievance, "Obviously you pushed me,"
"You!" Wang Ge couldn't tell. In a rage, he pushed everyone away and rushed forward to strike, "You bitch!"
"Wang Ge!" Bai Jiu had just surrounded him.He finally couldn't bear it anymore, "Last time at the annual meeting, I didn't expose you for the sake of President Yan."
"The other day you swore that Shen Zui was going to kill you with a knife, why did I see Shen Zui being pushed to the ground by you when I went in!"
...
Shen Zui didn't speak.His lips were white and his forehead was sweating, as if he had lost his strength from the pain.
Those who were going to fight and those who were going to fight were in a mess, until Yan Mingyang and several other investors finally appeared.
"What are you doing?" Yan Mingyang still brought the second secretary with him.He came here only after hearing the commotion here, and the crowd dispersed, only to see Shen Zui alone on the ground, with his left hand gently wrapping around his right wrist, his eyes drooping.
His wrist was very thin, his skin was white, and as soon as the blood flowed away, it seemed that it was really about to break.
"Shen," Yan Mingyang almost blurted out subconsciously, the word Xiaotu.
Shen Zui raised his head upon hearing the sound, but lowered his head back at the moment his eyes met.
Like being burned.
"Boss Yan," Bai Jiu had already rolled up his sleeves, "Wang Ge pushed Shen Zui down in full view, and everyone saw it."
"I," Wang Ge stepped forward to argue, but found that Yan Mingyang was looking at Shen Zui with something wrong.
At this moment, Yan Mingyang's heart of pity and pity for jade came back to life.
Before coming to the banquet hall, Yan Mingyang met with Pei Yan.
Pei Yan volunteered that in terms of actors alone, Intoxication is more suitable for "Out of Temperature" than Wang Ge.
Yan Mingyang heard his implication.
To use intoxication means to solve the investment and film arrangement brought by Wanger from other places.
Investment is not a problem, and movies like "Out of Temperature" will not lack investment;
The trouble is arranging the films, which needs to be solved by Yan Mingyang.
Yan Mingyang did not express his opinion on the spot.
"Loss of Temperature" is different from "Spring Habitat".
"Loss of Temperature" is a project that Yan Mingyang absolutely cannot afford to lose.
Doctors and nurses from the neighboring hospital arrived and bandaged the drunk in the waiting room.
His wound was a bit deep, but fortunately, it was treated in time.
The reception had to continue, and the idlers gradually dispersed, and Wang Ge was temporarily controlled.
Yan Mingyang stood outside the corridor at the entrance of the lounge, not far from Shen Zui.
He remembered that Shen Xiaotu was so sad that he would die when he bumped into him in the past, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
Although Shen Xiaotu was kept in the dark, he didn't know that Yan Mingyang was deceiving;
But Yan Mingyang never went to see him after they parted, and Xiaotu must be sad and complaining in his heart.
So much so that after so many years, when they meet again, they would rather not look at each other.
Yan Mingyang lingered in the corridor for a moment, hesitating whether to go forward.
Number two mistakenly thought that Yan Mingyang was still thinking about Pei Yan's words.
She observed for a while, and decided to speak up, "Mr. Yan."
"Huh?" Yan Mingyang understood that No. [-] had something to say, "What's wrong."
"Unscrupulous artists are at great risk." No. [-] clearly pointed out.
Yan Mingyang raised his eyebrows, a little helpless.
Wang Ge hurt people in public today, and the whole circle can spread it before dawn.
Beating people is not big news in itself, but no one likes to use an actor who is not easy to control.
Doctors and nurses came out of the waiting room.
Yan Mingyang asked, "How is it?"
"It didn't hurt the vitals." The doctor said, "but it needs to be raised for a while, and there should be no sequelae."
In the lounge, Shen Zui half-closed his eyes, but his brain was spinning fast.
He wants to rebuild the "old relationship" with Yan Mingyang that doesn't exist. The first priority is not to let Yan Mingyang find out that he knew it was a scam back then.
If it is not found to be a scam, how should this scene be played?
Shen Zui calmly began to meditate.
The conversation outside the corridor stopped, and the footsteps gradually faded away.
Yan Mingyang seemed to be pacing in front of the door.
Shen Zui took a deep breath and closed his eyes for a while.
When he opened it again, he seemed to be another person.
He fumbled to stand up, opened the door carefully, stretched out his head to look around, and deliberately showed surprise when he saw Yan Mingyang and No. [-].
"Yan," Shen Zui doesn't know how to talk.He paused without showing any trace, and pursed his lips.
For some reason, at this moment Yan Mingyang instinctively felt that Shen Zui wanted to call him "Brother Yan".
"I'll go in and see him." Yan Mingyang left No. [-] outside the door.
After the door closed, Shen Zui finally raised his head, but he lowered it again after a while.
"Brother Yan, hello."
Yan Mingyang looked at Shen Zui's little face that was exactly the same as before, and couldn't bear it, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
"Well..." A bit of loneliness and self-blame appeared on the intoxicated face, "I'm sorry."
When he was outside the door, Yan Mingyang imagined the reaction of intoxication.
Acting like a baby, complaining, crying, and pretending to be chic are like passers-by.
I never thought it was sorry.
sorry?
What can Shen Xiaotu feel sorry for me?
Yan Mingyang paused, "What's wrong."
"It's all my fault that I went out to film and changed my name," Shen Zui casually sniffled, "Brother couldn't find me."
Suddenly, Yan Mingyang realized something.
Shen Zui was only 15 years old when he filmed "Tassel".
So according to his age, Shen Xiaotu was picked out by Xia Rusen not long after he returned to the village.
Also changed the name.
Daringly, this little rabbit not only didn't know that he was cheated, but also foolishly thought that it was his fault that they "lost contact" back then!
Yan Mingyang has both sides, and for the first time in his life, he encounters a scene where he doesn't know how to speak.
So Shen Zui seized the opportunity, raised his light red eyes, "Brother, can you take care of me?"
"........."
Yan Mingyang stayed in the lounge for a while.
When he came out, Number Two was still dutifully waiting at the door.
Yan Mingyang signaled No. [-] to follow, and walked a little further.
"What's wrong, Mr. Yan?" Number two realized something was wrong.
Yan Mingyang turned around and asked No. [-] in a quiet voice, with a very serious attitude, "Is Shen Zui really good at acting?"
Number two is actually an intoxicated movie fan.
It's just that as Yan's famous "information storage", she must remain passive and neutral.
She thought for a while, and said tactfully, "Director Pei Yan has always been very accurate in his eyes on actors. Speaking of the aura of acting, Wang Ge is more than [-] streets intoxicated."
