Aesthetics of Violence [Entertainment]

When Ge Qiao returned home, it was already 01:30 in the morning.

The empty apartment was exceptionally quiet, and the coolness of the night was invading every corner.In fact, according to Ge Qiao's current financial resources, it is not a problem to buy a house in the outer city, but he has been living in this three-story co-living apartment since he graduated from university and came to Pingjing City. Buying a house to live in is no different.Not to mention whether he lived or not, he didn't bother to look for another house to fiddle with even looking at his miscellaneous things.

Thinking of Shen Yan's perfect schedule, Ge Qiao guessed that he must have gone to bed long ago.Zhu Zan was nestling on the sofa in the living room on the first floor at this time, and the light was so dark that he did not turn on the lights, only the blue light was shining from the screen of the laptop propped on his lap, making his face pale.

Ge Qiao leaned over and saw that Zhu Zan was wearing earphones and staring at the image on the screen very seriously. He was holding a pen in his right hand, and there was an open notebook on the keyboard. There were indeed writings on it, but Ge Qiao He didn't see what was written on it, so he leaned forward slightly, but he could clearly see the content of the video Zhu Zan was watching.

"Yo? Are you busy? What are you watching?" Ge Qiao decided to break the silence and let the roommate notice his existence first, "Ah, overseas variety show? What's the matter, this is your station waiting for your new program plan, So are you looking for inspiration?" He subtly put his tone on the word "inspiration".

Zhu Zan understood as soon as he heard it. These words touched on his principles, so he didn't even have time to express that he was frightened by Ge Qiao's late return and mysteriously appeared behind him, and hurriedly cleared himself up, "Fart, I can do it That kind of thing? My application for the program has already been handed in. Is it possible to get the result after a while? I am learning with an open mind. Guard against arrogance and impetuosity, don't stick your tail up to the sky..."

"Stop it, you can shut up," Ge Qiao saw that something was wrong, and quickly stopped Zhu Zan's words, "You have been showing off for two weeks, didn't you just get promoted and become a bad director? What are you? What is my status? I didn’t count thirteen in my heart? I just finished a bunch of messy things in the company today, so I went to sleep quickly to recover my energy, and I’m still waiting to see how people sentence me tomorrow.” Call At that time, Ge Qiao felt that he had already spoken to the end, and he didn't know whether Shen Jiu, a "terrible cultural person", could understand the artistic conception and true meaning of it.

"Your attitude is very wrong, Comrade Ge Qiao." Zhu Zan tutted, "We are all the protagonists of our own lives! You can't look down on the director of a broken TV station's broken program!"

Zhu Zan's mouth was very poor, Ge Qiao ignored him, and went straight to the bedroom on the second floor.In fact, the apartment is equipped with an elevator in order to show the luxurious and high-end temperament, but Ge Qiao thinks it is a waste of resources to climb to the second floor and take the elevator, even if this is the most distinctive and refined housing benefit of this apartment, He also didn't think it was necessary, and besides, he was so manic in the company every day, walking and exercising/the body might have a chance to prolong his life by a few minutes.As a result, before he knew it, the elevator became the private property of the third-floor landlord, Shen Yan, and no one else used it.

September is the start of the semester for colleges and universities.

It’s not long before the start of the school day. Shen Yan just received an email from the academic administration last week. The professor who was supposed to teach art theory in the new semester planned to start his "academic research year" ahead of schedule. After considering various factors Afterwards, the academic affairs decided that this course would be handed over to Shen Yan.In fact, there is no conflict between art theory and drama, film and directing that Shen Yan usually studies, and he doesn't feel much pressure.The problem is that this time he is going to bring undergraduates. He came back from the UK at the age of 30, and brought 27 independently signed SCI papers to this well-known media school in China to become a professor. When he came in, he only brought graduate students. He was used to getting along with three or four disciples who were loosely disciplined and Buddhist, and suddenly told him that in the new semester he had to face a room full of dark heads of young people seeking knowledge, he was a little apprehensive.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that I have no idea. After all, teaching postgraduates is different from undergraduates, and it is not feasible to specialize in teaching students according to their aptitude at this time.Thinking about it this way made him feel a little bit uneasy, and he couldn't fall asleep, so he has been working diligently under the desk lamp at [-]:[-] a.m. every day for this week, slowly looking through the undergraduate textbooks from previous years. He used to go to bed at ten o'clock and wake up at six The perfect schedule was thus broken, and the result of forcing the biological clock to "reverse jet lag" was that the handsome face that was very "highly respected" among the students suddenly suffered disaster, and now it was covered with black and green shadows. He had no expression at first, and the whole person looked particularly depressed.

Today is no exception, he prepares lessons until late at night.

So at around 01:30, the movement from Ge Qiao downstairs was also clearly heard, "Fuck, why is the water so fucking hot?!" Ge Qiao's wailing volume was not concealed at all, " It's scalded, what happened today, why is it so unlucky?!" Then there was a sound of knocking and beating, and the screaming became quieter, "Should this broken pipe be replaced?" Probably Ge Qiao was here Where to kick it.

Looks like the plumbing needs to be replaced.

He changed his mind again.Forget it, it's a bit troublesome, it's a day to make up for one day.

Shen Yan closed his textbook, stood up, and was about to go to sleep.

Weekends are always so pleasant.

Simple breakfast on the kitchen bar, three handmade sandwiches, three glasses of milk.The floating milk fragrance, the burning smell of the oven, and the unique dry smell of northern cities all mixed together into a kind of human fireworks that are not annoying.

Pingjing City has also gradually begun to show signs of autumn. Outside the window, the leaves of the locust trees not far away are beginning to turn golden, and I don’t know if they have released a faint fragrance.The sun is sharp but not hot, refreshing but not sticky, and a hole is cut towards the window to slip in, and the air becomes transparent.

Zhu Zan munched the breakfast of love prepared by Shen Yan early in the morning, and vaguely greeted Ge Qiao, who was immersed in the atmosphere of fireworks in the world just after waking up, "Brother Qiao, I suggest you put the Take back the hanging clothes," winking at him, "I accidentally glanced at it just now, and was stunned."

Ge Qiao squinted: "What trouble did you get into again?"

In other words, Ge Qiao has always been very satisfied with the design of the apartment's terrace, although Shen Yan may have only paid attention to the image project when he bought this building, the plumbing has been in disrepair for a long time, and the second floor runs out of cold water when taking showers from time to time-this level of housing problems It's really very corrupt. How can there be any reason why the pipes are broken but the hot water comes out? ——But every time Ge Qiao sees the enclosed all-glass balcony transformed by Shen Yan after opening up the balcony on the first floor and the small garden in front of the building, he will feel an inexplicable sense of satisfaction in his heart. This place is the most sunny, It's about the same size as the study on the second floor, and I don't know what method Shen Yan used. The glass walls and ceiling are kept transparent and shiny all year round. Even if it rained the night before, I woke up the next morning still looking the same Clean and smooth as it is.Spacious and bright, with simple furnishings, a small round glass table, two black iron chairs, and several pots of green plants arranged in a corner, but in the end, the white clothesline that Ge Qiao put on top of his head abruptly destroyed the situation. beauty.

The three people in the apartment seem to like this place very much. Shen Yan likes to sit here on a lazy sofa on a sunny day and read the book "Notes from Underground", which he almost tore through. Zhu Zan comes here from time to time. Stretching exercises and lifting dumbbells, Ge Qiao didn't understand this kind of pretentious behavior. Obviously the living room or his bedroom are more spacious than this glass room, but Zhu Zan said that the sunlight here will make his muscles look more shiny, Anyway, Ge Qiao didn't take it seriously, he didn't take all Zhu Zan's pretentiousness very seriously.But Ge Qiao felt that his way of expressing his love was the best. In order to let himself find something to do in this glass room, he came up with an idea and simply set up a clothesline here, simply and rudely The aggression of the face shows that he also owns a third of the enclosed terrace.

"This clothes..." Ge Qiao squeezed the black windbreaker jacket that was as hard as a surfboard in his hand with a look of shock, confirming this somewhat embarrassing fact, "Why is it so hard?"

Zhu Zan had milk in his mouth, and laughed non-stop when he heard Ge Qiao's words, his breath was cut off by his laughter, and he didn't dare to open his mouth to take the opportunity to sneer, for fear that extreme joy would turn into sadness and choke himself, listening to the sound in the distance Ge Qiao still couldn't believe it: "How did it become like this?"

After finally swallowing the milk, which had lost its temperature, Zhu Zan rubbed his stomach and asked, "How much laundry detergent did you put?"

"Two bottle caps." Ge Qiao believed that his memory was correct, and his soft chin slightly raised, indicating that he was reasonable, "I read the instructions posted on it, and I just need to put two bottle caps."

"Do you know how many clothes you need to use to wash two bottle caps, my grandpa Qiao!"

Zhu Zan was speechless about Ge Qiao's ability to take care of himself: "You just wash such a thin piece of clothing and put two bottles of laundry detergent, it's no wonder it can be washed clean." Two days of exposure in the bright sun, who can stand it, can it not be hard?

"It's not clearly written on the bottle..." Ge Qiao muttered, although he was still stiff, but after all he was a self-aware person, and his voice dropped.This is really embarrassing. Although Ge Qiao has exposed his basically zero self-care ability in front of Shen Yan and Zhu Zan more than once, he is still a bit cheeky and always feels embarrassed when encountering such things.Shen Yan and Zhu Zan usually do the laundry for them. He just needs to throw the laundry into the laundry basket and hand it to them, and then sit back and enjoy the success.At most, it would be to wait for the washing machine to turn and ask Ge Qiao to climb on the roof to dry in the sun, without any technical content.

Although I don't know how much skill he needs to pour laundry detergent.

But when it comes to this kind of dosage, Ge Qiao has always been like a mentally handicapped person, no matter how hard he tries, he can't learn it.

Shen Yan came out of the elevator at this time, holding his set of "Art Theory" textbooks, and walked slowly towards his breakfast.He didn't know why he only took this book, Ge Qiao had become Zhu Zan's laughing point all day long.Shen Yan inadvertently caught a glimpse of Ge Qiao holding a strangely shaped black "surfboard" in his hand, and was obviously taken aback, not knowing, so he asked, "Da Qiao, what is that thing in your hand?"

This quantifier is used very delicately.As expected of a professor.

"..."

Ge Qiao's two small resentful eyes looked past Zhu Zan, who was holding back his laughter, and looked at Shen Yan, who added fuel to the fire without knowing it, "That is... my dignity."

Zhu Zan reached his limit and finally couldn't hold back any longer, and burst into laughter with a "ha".

Shen Yan nodded knowingly. He didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said, and he couldn't read the stalk, so he spread out "Art Theory", turned to the page he read before going to bed last night, and picked up the cup in front of him. After taking a sip of the cold milk, she remained completely calm.

Ge Qiao has never seen an adult who is as Buddhist as Shen Yan, but thanks to his lack of reaction, Ge Qiao's dignity, which was about to bottom out, regained a little bit.He sat down next to Zhu Zan, Ge Qiao didn't want to see Zhu Zan's breezy face now, so he had to make a compromise and sit on the same side with him.

"By the way," Zhu Zan finally laughed enough, and remembered the business, "Dear landlord, I have something to tell you."

"Ok?"

"Aren't I from Yingcheng? There is a girl from the same school who has a good relationship with me. She is also in Pingjing. This year her cousin will come to your university to study for a doctorate. She is not used to living on campus. She wants me to help arrange accommodation. You see We are not satisfied with one person occupying one floor of our building, or let him move in, and share the rent with me and Brother Daqiao by the way?"

"If you're not used to living on campus, will you get used to living with others?"

"She said it was because she was too easy to bully and was afraid of being rubbed on the ground by the people in the same dormitory." Thinking about it, I found it ridiculous that Hu Shiwei, a girl who didn't know what cultural circle she was immersed in all day, said to herself. Immediately turned around, "Hey, I don't have any other bad problems, probably I just don't like Datongpu. Our accommodation conditions are not better than your school's?"

"I don't have any objections." Shen Yan still just casually flipped through the book on the first page, took the last bite of the sandwich and swallowed it before continuing, "Look at Ge Qiao's."

"Me?" Being called suddenly, Ge Qiao just opened Weibo to welcome the execution, "I have no objection, he is welcome to come to the second floor, to feel the rot behind the luxury, to experience the boiling water bath without cold water..."

"You can come to the third floor to wash."

"Oh," Ge Qiao didn't know how to be grateful, and threw Shen Yan a sneer, "Shouldn't the next sentence in this kind of conversation be 'I'll renovate the pipes in a while'?"

"You are so bold, you actually think that our Professor Shen is an ordinary person?" Zhu Zan exaggeratedly raised his eyebrows in shock.

"Okay, I'll wait until the day when the bathroom dies violently and when you come to collect the body, I'll ask you to settle the score." Ge Qiao nodded and gritted his teeth.He also didn't intend to entangle too much, and it was useless to entangle. With Shen Yan's personality, he wouldn't care until it was all broken.He continued the action that was interrupted just now, skillfully switched the trumpet, logged in to Weibo, took a deep breath without any trace, and directly clicked on Wei Linhe's Weibo profile picture.In fact, he is 80% sure that this matter can be suppressed. Regardless of whether the words he said to Shen Jiu really guessed Shen Jiu's careful thinking, the final advice on liquidated damages will also make him score seven or eight points. Back off.A person who does not hesitate to use the name of the studio to win popularity for himself, and is anxious to confess his relationship with the popular idol to strangers, although he seems to have an impure mind at first glance, he should not be a particularly difficult character.

Sure enough, Wei Linhe updated a new message this morning.

@卫林和: I really don’t have a girlfriend, I’ve been busy with work before, sorry for the late reply.Again, I, do not, have a girlfriend.

Ge Qiao felt a little funny at first.She is really young and energetic, and she can't hide the resentment that is full of it.

Then I understood what the kid meant.

It's not "no relationship", but "no girlfriend".I don't have a girlfriend, but I have a boyfriend.

Really, at this time, you still have to sneak up on me.

Unable to hold back, he used his trumpet to like that Weibo post.

Ge Qiao dug out the address book and called Yao Chao.

"Hello? Brother Qiao, is he still concentrating on working this weekend?" Yao Yao is a smart person, and he knew that Ge Qiao would go to the Three Treasures Palace when he picked up the phone.

"Come to give advice to the company's department leaders," Ge Qiao finished his breakfast, put the dishes in the sink with one hand and began to rub, the sound of the water was running loudly, and he couldn't help raising the volume on the phone, "Your brokerage department Do some personnel work all day long, and you know how to post on Weibo without seeing the artistes panicking? I have no grievances or enmity with them, so this group of people know what I mean by coming here?"

"We are not a bully company that squeezes the labor force. It is humane to combine work and rest, and to target the target!" Yao Li was not to be outdone, and she was not much worse than Ge Qiao. Said he is out of work? Guess he is shooting a new commercial right now? Don’t tell me, our kid can really play. This year, there will be three more endorsements alone? That’s not even counting the magazine covers we shot Poster street shooting, it is estimated that if this trend continues, it will not be a problem to go to the red carpet of some overseas film festivals next year."

Ge Qiao could see that this person had found the right opportunity to show off his achievements.Different from Yao Yao who holds the fate of dozens of celebrity artists in his hands, Ge Qiao faces the cold big data and media public opinion every day, and carefully maintains the company's interlocking human relations with the outside world. To do the pickling work of wiping the buttocks of those uneasy public figures, even if he sits on the second-in-command chair at a young age and has a considerable place in the industry, he still feels no sense of accomplishment at all.

It's just that after thinking about it, he doesn't have any obsession with making contributions. He can earn a living carefully in this complicated and flashy enclosure, as long as he doesn't get drowned.

"He resumed his work so soon?" Ge Qiao hurriedly washed the plates and cups with one hand, while Shen Yan watched from the side, sighing almost inaudibly, it seemed that he had to go back to work by himself.Naturally, Ge Qiao didn't see Shen Yan's mental activities, and threw himself on the sofa in the middle of the living room, "I thought you would hide him for a while to do ideological work, he is so young at such a young age, isn't it good? .”

"Professional ability is above all else," Yao Li chuckled over there, with a little self-deprecating, "These days, character is not as important as professional ability, not to mention that he is only a matter of sexuality."
