quail

June 21, [-].

Two in the afternoon.

Sun exposure.

Li Bai was nailed in front of the school gate covered with brown and red tiles, looking up at the four large characters above his head - Qinggang Middle School.

The school bell is ringing wildly.

There is a playground between him and the school building, but the playground is too small. When the bell stops, Li Bai can even hear the noise in the classroom, one door, two doors... Just as in the impression, there are indeed only four small bungalows in that row. In the classroom, the light was too harsh, Li Bai narrowed his eyes, and before he had time to see clearly what was going on inside each door, a little boy jumped past him and went straight to the second room. Dust all the way, braked urgently in front of the door again, stomping his feet as if standing in a military posture.

The small school was completely silent.

"Teacher Yang!" He was panting.

"Prepare medicine for my sister, I'm late!" At the same time, the voice was loud and clear.

Li Bai felt that he must have heard correctly.

He saw the little boy go into the dark doorway.It's just that the sun is too bright, he still can't see anything in the door.Sweat slid down his forehead and stuck into his eyes, and the wound on his knee that had just been broken by a dog at the entrance of the village was embedded in the sand, and he felt a dull pain. He found that he couldn't walk, and he thought for the 11th time in this day that if at the beginning of the year, In that song, Zhu Yantang's waist was not broken, then everything now might not happen.

After running with the crew for so many years, I have traveled to the depths of the Qinling Mountains in northern Xinjiang and Africa. Naqu was the first difficult place where Li Bai was ill for a week before adapting to the environment and starting work.Since the summer of 3000, the main filming location has been near the source of the Nujiang River near the Tanggula Mountains, with an average altitude of over [-] meters. "Thirty Thousand Miles of Wind", a literary film about an educated youth who perishes on a cliff, also made Li Bai It's the first time to be a regular makeup artist, the kind that can flash past in the credits at the end of the credits.

Perhaps it can be said that it is the inevitable result of the accumulation of work experience in the past few years, but Li Bai is more inclined to believe that this is actually luck.As the No. [-] makeup artist, he is mainly responsible for the make-up and styling of the male lead. Why does he have to provide one-on-one service? The styling is difficult on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is because the male lead has a weird temper, but he is the main character of the film. The celebrity that investor Xie's Media is promoting, got his first film directly, and the Cannes-level director's photography configuration, and the boss even invited the best actor and actress produced by his company to this plateau to act for him.Zhu, Yan, Tang, this is a name that sounds like it is going to be popular, and the person is even more mysterious. He is only nineteen years old, and his background is unknown. All he knows is that he is a compatriot from Hong Kong. He has lived in the United States, but he can speak Mandarin There were no flaws, and it was rumored that the No. [-] makeup artist, who was well-known in the industry, ran away in anger as soon as the machine was started, and then it fell into the hands of Li Bai, a soft bun who scolded for a long time and couldn't even answer a word of complaint.

What made Li Bai even more convinced of his luck was that Zhu Yantang seemed to have been wronged.He is just too handsome, he smiles flamboyantly but not flirtatiously, and when he is not smiling, he is suddenly cold to a sharp degree, as if he can lower the temperature of the surroundings, making people afraid to get close to him, but it is actually quite interesting to get along with him, a little nervous That's all.

Somehow, the two of them quickly developed into a relationship where they could secretly give cigarettes - Zhu Yantang's boss strictly forbids him to smoke.When Li Bai was hiding by the lake and exercising his lung capacity alone, Zhu Yantang would occasionally sneak over and take a cheap Nanjing from his cigarette case. Li Bai can also sneak into Zhu Yantang's thermal military tent next to the director's team when Zhu Yantang practiced his lines all night, dabble in his expensive skin care products, and play games on his new iPad, but Zhu Yantang is often too involved, often as in She was as melancholy as before the camera, even bursting into tears, neither talking to him nor looking at him.

Li Bai likes this tacit understanding.

He and Zhu Yantang are not very good friends, at least they don't even know each other's date of birth, nor their family members.Of course I don't want to know.And they often can't understand what the other party is saying, but it doesn't seem to matter if they don't understand all the time.This is a very comfortable state, between time and time again make-up touch-ups, the surrounding people are in chaos, one of them is as steady as Mount Tai, the other closes his eyes and let you play, they both look relaxed.

However, this kind of happiness may also be caused by the smooth work.This film has such a big budget, and the bitter script is clearly going to win awards. Zhu Yantang is not a vase that the boss Xie keeps in the rumors. His acting skills are very good, and his basic skills are solid. The field record and the logistics team cried together, and the pressure on the makeup and hair side was much less.

As for Li Bai's styling - those sunburns, freckles, bright eyes, chapped lips, and growing messy hair, he has put a lot of thought into it, and he can pass the test with the visual director every time, and is also recognized by everyone. The director praised it several times.

If it didn't go so smoothly, both of them would be criticized every day... Li Bai felt that if a small nerve collided with a big nerve like his that cannot be stopped, the result would be tragic.

Once during a break, a young man in the crew drove to a nearby town for shopping. He was in a small street shop and looked at Zhu Yantang who was eating fried barley mixed with yogurt.

Zhu Yantang blinked his eyes, expressing that he did not understand what nonsense he was talking about.

Li Bai also truthfully said that in the crews he had been in, the lead male lead who was so self-absorbed like him had never seen anyone else, let alone on a plateau where he was hypoxic and sleepy after walking two steps.

Zhu Yantang just laughed, with a bright smile, and said after a while, I just don't want the boss to think it's a waste of money.

It’s okay if you spend money in vain once, but if you spend it twice, you will change to someone else, right?He poked in the yogurt with a small spoon, grabbed Li Bai's hat to cover himself from the sun, and chanted his own reasons.I need to count the opportunities.

opportunity.

Everyone wants a chance, but not everyone deserves it.

Li Bai finally lifted one leg, and then another, and he walked towards the second door like a toddler.

The hot wind blows and fills his hair, ears, and under his stiff and empty fingers, but it fails to lift him up like a balloon, and the sun fails to make him transparent.

He was still walking on the ground.A lot of dust, a lot of messy footprints.

They are self-consistent, and he is afraid that his participation will make them disappear.There was a class that seemed to be a physical education class. Before he had walked a few steps, the group of children poured out of the door, lined up in a noisy line, and a dozen pairs of eyes sneaked at him one after another. Li Bai couldn't understand the discussions, but he couldn't understand them. It didn't make it any more tense.

There was no room left, he already knew what it felt like when a person's nervousness was dubbed the word "most".

This is not the first time he has gone deep into the foot of this mountain and came to Qinggang Middle School, but it is the first time he has entered the school gate and set foot on this playground.The Jinsha River was rushing behind him, and what passed under his feet seemed to be a mixture of time and space. He heard that voice among the four teachers and many students.

Getting closer and closer.

After the students entered, the door of the second classroom was pushed from the inside and closed slightly.Yang Jian said: "Think about why a boat won't sink in the water, but won't float in the air."

Because the density is different.

Air and water have different densities.

Li Bai almost blurted out.

Are you talking about buoyancy?Yang Jian once had a serious discussion with him on this matter with the materials he made up for his tutoring class, and it seemed that he was the only one who would ask, "Are we at the bottom of the world, supported by land, just like a boat supported by water?" Then, there is no such strange question as continuing to sink into the center of the earth."

Yang Jian did not deny his conclusion, but just listed a simple formula, explaining that the difference is not between man and boat, but between air and water.People lying in the water will not sink, because people also occupy the volume, and the water is not lifting, but refusing more encroachment.Compared with the air, it is much more tolerant, and their rejection is not without, but it is too light, so small and heavy things like people can't feel it.In the evening school before, I couldn't figure it out, but he explained it very clearly, and Li Bai understood it very well, and I still remember it to this day.

It turned out that it was just the content of junior high school, the most basic thing.

But Yang Jian's earnest expression was the same as when he was practicing the thesis defense at home.

No matter how you say it, Zhu Yantang's waist was really broken at the right time.

Li Bai thought like this No. 12 times.

How did you become so familiar with me?You are going to be a first-line star in the future.

Probably on New Year’s Eve, one person put down the sumptuous staff meal, and the other person came out to breathe with the drunken director and seniors. They happened to meet and looked at the lush starry sky together. At that time, Li Bai also asked about this. one question.

Zhu Yantang's answer was unexpected, roughly like this: Because you are good-looking, most ordinary-looking people will become sensitive and suspicious in front of good-looking people, thinking that the other party is unfriendly to them, and this is all because of low self-esteem.So I like to make friends with good-looking people.

Li Bai thought, wow, it's too narcissistic.

Although this makes sense.

Seeing that he was thoughtful, Zhu Yantang actually put out the cigarette butt on the dial of his Vacheron Constantin, and began to ask him with a smile if he wanted to enter the entertainment circle.

Li Bai pretended that he was 25 years old and it was too late, but he thought wildly in his heart that Boss Xie must also be a very good-looking person.He always felt that Zhu Yantang had some kind of special emotion for that person, needless to say so shyly, it was the so-called love - Zhu Yantang set the iPad wallpaper as a chat record with the boss, and the note was "Brother Mingyi", That person taught him to work hard, to ask more questions and to learn more, and to call him when he was afraid.

Zhu Yantang replied with the little bear hugging her heart, three times in a row, and finally said: You must come and see me.

All the chain screen wallpapers in this screenshot are used, and there is no intention of avoiding suspicion at all.

However, at least, within the time frame Li Bai observed, Zhu Yantang never made any phone calls to anyone.

That Boss Xie didn't appear on the set once, but sent him a lot of temporary managers and assistants, wave after wave, bringing his favorite brands, skin care products, and hot pot ingredients to this plateau.

Zhu Yantang threw away all those red lumps of oil, saying that the boiling point of the oil here is too low, and it won't taste good when it's hot in a hot pot.

He scolded all the assistants, and then distributed all the things except skin care products to them. Of course, no one dared to ask for it. After taking it for a while, he collected it and sent it back to Zhu Yantang's tent.

Zhu Yantang just piled them on the ground.

Li Bai had a sense of belonging out of thin air, he thought, he is also a fallen person in the world.Although one lives like a nobleman and the other lives like a dog, both suffer from insomnia, both love to smoke, are considered weird and annoying by the people around them, bite themselves when they are sad, and also have a guy who wants to see but can’t see, Perhaps, it can also be called the gate of life.Human happiness may be related to rich or poor, but pain is indeed fair and just.The conditions on the plateau are harsh. For the sake of health, the crew always shoots for three days and takes one day off, which leaves a lot of time for chatting. It just so happens that Zhu Yantang also likes spending time with him more and more. Occasionally he can't help but say Talk about Yang Jian.

Said that he searched for two years, got some news by accident and regarded it as a treasure, but the result was not accurate, which made him rush to find Huili before the start of work, knocked every middle school named by the Education Bureau, and they let him He went to Zhaojue, went to Zhaojue, and it was the same toss. They told him to go to Leibo to look for it.A vice-principal spoke convincingly, saying that there was indeed one person who had reported to his school, but because Leibo lacked more teachers, he was transferred to the next county not long after.He is not very clear which school it is.

There are a total of seven middle schools in Leibo County. Li Bai spent a day taking the bus to Leibo, and spent three days looking for four schools. When he wanted to find the fifth school, he realized that it was too late. He had to leave immediately and go to Nagqu to find the crew to sign in .

He closed his mouth when he said this, Yang Jian, thinking about these two words, it is sad, but it is also happy - the feeling that the corners of the mouth can't help but curl up when you think of it, it's been too long, Li Bai almost forgot up.

Zhu Yantang listened carefully, but there was no fluctuation. He just asked Li Bai, why were you willing to leave him back then?

The eyes are sly.

Li Bai pushes back, what about you?Didn't you have to leave your boss too?

Zhu Yantang looked lonely, we are different, he said, everyone is different from everyone.

Not long after the year, an ordinary shooting task, just to make up a few shots for the scene where the hero hangs himself on the cliff with a soil gun and smashes the poachers, but an unexpected accident happened.Zhu Yantang's wire was unstable, coupled with the strong wind, he bumped into the sharp corner of the rock in mid-air, and it was such an inch of strength that his waist, which was wrapped in cotton clothes, was barely visible. Broke a bone.

Watching from the outer circle, Li Bai couldn't see anything clearly during the few seconds when the stretcher passed by. He just remembered that Zhu Yantang didn't cry or make trouble, and kept apologizing there, saying that he was careless and that he would definitely delay the progress. He was very sincere, as if That was the only thing he was still thinking about.Heavy snow blocked the road, and Zhu Yantang waited for a long time without moving, but he couldn't go out to put steel nails on the bone. The whole crew was busy with this matter, but he could only let the medical team in the crew handle it briefly and take care of him at any time.

After waiting for about a day and a half, a group of three rescue helicopters appeared over the set. The leading one jumped off a person. He didn’t even change his leather shoes, and his tie was stuck in the zipper of his windproof suit. He went deep into the camp with a dark face. Chu Zhu Yantang walked away from his tent, a group of people went up to meet him, led him the way, and called him "Thank you boss".

Very young, and very boss-like, but not that good-looking.

Li Bai thought, Zhu Yantang is saved.

I also thought that I might have to be unemployed for a while.But it's not necessarily true, Zhu Yantang's role is suspended, and he can still take the time to shoot other people's shots. If he has nothing to do all day, he will only eat box lunch, and he will probably go to help.

Who knew that he crossed his arms and shrunk his neck. He was about to walk towards his tent when he was grabbed by someone. He was one of Zhu Yantang's assistants. The man told him to get on the helicopter together.

"Mr. Zhu said that you are on vacation," the man looked at his phone and said embarrassingly, "you can find the person you want to see."

Li Bai was sent to the train station by helicopter, and he vomited all the way up, it was a very novel experience.After that, I returned to normal, bought the nearest slow train ticket, waited for two days, and came to Panzhihua.He took a tourist bus to Leibo, and it was March in Yangchun, and the spring breeze in Beijing should be like dry fluff when breathing, but the cumulus clouds and rain along the way to Bashanchushui can seep into the flesh, making people feel sick. The bones froze until they were brittle, and then they were crushed by mountain roads.In the county town, he thought twice, compared to the last time he chartered a car in a hurry and was scared all the way. He always felt that the driver would take advantage of the language barrier to abduct him to sell his organs. This time he finally chose to wait slowly for the bus between various towns.

It was indeed slow enough. After three days, Li Bai had finished searching for the fifth and sixth middle schools, and there was only one box left unchecked on the corner page of the memo book.

It's really such an unfortunate coincidence, let him find the last one?

But if Yang Jian was really there—the seventh school, Qinggang Middle School—if he had to go around for another month, Li Bai would also be willing.

It is also difficult for Tang Seng to learn scriptures with wisdom and helpers. How much is he.

Fortunately, God pays more attention to honesty this time. When Li Bai stood at the simple school gate, he saw the "person he wanted to see" before he entered.

Yang Jian was wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and his hair was a little long, curled up by the wind. He was kicking a small ball with a group of children.Just after it rained, the ball rolled on the ground and became more and more dirty. The children, both boys and girls, were pushing and shoving, having a great time.After playing for a while, he switched to basketball again. It was the same old ball, which was too old and not very elastic. The children had to use a lot of strength to shoot it. Similarly, many children's muddy handprints were photographed on white shirts that were dyed black.

The original competition has become a game, but it seems to be a little more attractive.The surrounding school buildings are quiet, only the small part of the playground is lively, it seems that all the other children are gathered here, forming a big circle, cheering, booing, jumping and jumping for no reason, the children are like this, and there are a few The grown-ups watching together were all smiling, probably all teachers, there was a hunchbacked old man in a jacket, an old woman with gray hair and sleeves, and a young woman with a ponytail and a sweater skirt.

Yang Jian was also laughing, very happy. He was tall and a little thinner than before. Among the group of people, Li Bai could clearly frame him even though there was a wall of people.

Three years, four months, five days, from October [-], [-] to March [-], [-], more than [-] days... Every day is not passing, but turning into nothingness The white paper with memorable things was folded on Li Bai's shoulders, soaked in glue layer by layer, so that it was already airtight.At this time, they were burned clean by a fire.

Li Bai shook his shoulders and there was nothing left.

It seems that nothing happened in the past three years. The soot and tears when I waited, searched, and couldn’t find it seemed to have never existed, and it didn’t make any sense, so I don’t need to mention it again.Li Bai could only see Yang Jian.

However, after watching for a while, Li Bai turned around and left, and the laughter faded away behind him. It seemed that the sports meeting really stopped after a while.With his hands in his trouser pockets, he squeezed out the swollen thighs through the denim material. The pain was burning, but he couldn't lift his muscles. He went back and took half a step into the campus.

Still the curse held him back.There is still a prophecy called "Never See You Again".There is still that river of disgust or longing, no, it is a river and a sea!To submerge him at any time, starting over the instep.He still couldn't look at Yang Jian and keep calm.

But at least he can keep his promise and leave before it's too late.

The bus does not leave until [-]:[-] p.m., but the waiting time is more difficult.Li Bai squatted in the corner of the station, stepping on the wet mud, the edge of the umbrella was dripping with rain, and his luggage was only a small bag. He turned into a mushroom.Darkness and dampness are suitable for him, he dare not stand out, he is afraid that Yang Jian will find him, but in fact there is no, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, even he is the only one waiting for the bus, this seems to make him feel a lot better.

Yang Jian is still alive, seems to be very happy, finally found by him, and he also took a few glances as he wished.So many eyes.No embarrassment or unpleasantness was caused.

Isn't that what he wants?

Li Bai went to Chengdu by car, went shopping in the largest shopping mall, and saved up five boxes.He sent them all together before being told to go back to the crew.Earlier, I saw a compulsory education leaflet at the gate of Qinggang Middle School. The red lettering slogan read "Children who drop out of school today will be poor households tomorrow". There is a contact number in the lower left corner of the list, and it reads "Teacher Yang". Li Bai didn't take it, but took it The paper was torn right off.

At the post office, he filled it out according to it, and put it back in the notebook like a treasure.

"It must be delivered, especially this one. Don't lose it." He patted the small cardboard box on the top floor and smiled at the staff, "Thank you."

After returning to work, Li Bai did not mention the experience of this trip to Zhu Yantang, because he knew that he would be ridiculed, and the matter between him and Yang Jian could not be summed up in a sentence of hesitation and cowardice.However, Zhu Yantang didn't seem to care too much. Not long after the operation, he insisted on working with a closed injection. He was fine in the play, but he was always depressed after the play.During that period of time, the protagonist was repeatedly frustrated, his ideals were disillusioned, and he finally jumped off the cliff. Li Bai was often worried that this person would get too deep into the drama and lose his life. If Zhu Yantang really had this idea, he would be happy to have the necessary communication. After all, he has experience in this area.

However, Zhu Yantang is much stronger than everyone thinks, both physically and mentally.In mid-June, he finished filming smoothly, only one month later than the original schedule, and the whole film was about to be finished. Everyone finally got their hard-earned money, left this snow-capped highland where they had been staying for a whole year, and started a new round of filming. Go their separate ways.

For example, at this moment, Zhu Yantang should be preparing for the second surgery, as he said, Brother Ming Yi took him back to Hong Kong.

And Li Bai appeared in front of Qinggang Middle School again.

Before leaving, several newcomers in the make-up team bid farewell to him, because he was well connected and well-informed, and they all wanted him to take them to different crews.The identity shifted unconsciously.Li Bai thought that he should have made some progress in other aspects, such as the maze on the playground... He walked through it, and now he even stands in front of the half-closed door under the sun, without even hiding.

I take a second look and leave.he thinks.

He moved to the right and saw the transparent water tank on the podium and the red ball floating on the water.That calm water can only accept it into so much volume, so the rest is exposed to the air.

At least it should be clearer than last time.Li Bai thought about it again.That voice... In the past few years, just like myself, he smokes a bit fiercely, but Yang Jian's lectures are very calm and gentle.

The fan was whirring, a little noisy, but the air was very inclusive, and it even evened out a little for him outside the door.

He actually wears glasses, with thin frames and thin legs, he doesn't look like a good person.Li Bai breathed a little, did you take it off during exercise?The injured left eye, what happened to it, I have never seen it after removing the gauze.

The physical education students dispersed, some jumped rope, some shot basketball, the two Li Bai bought in Chengdu, but more stood beside him in twos and threes, looking at him, talking loudly and softly .

It should be in Yi language, but Li Bai couldn't understand half a sentence.

I have to go now?he thought silently.

I can continue to send things. In a short time, I will not go to work in places where it is not convenient to send mail.Write down everything and give it to Teacher Yang and his students.Although children are all hated, Yang Jian seems to regard them as very important... It's even more annoying, it can't be hated.He made up his mind.

I seem to have affected two classes in class... I really should go.He thought about it several times.

However, Yang Jian broke a piece of chalk at this moment, holding the half of his body to write on the blackboard, his gaze swept past Li Bai's face.

"Take water as an example." There was a brief pause in his words, as did his eyes.

And in the narrow door, the moment the four eyes met, Li Bai suddenly realized that what he thought he had sunk to the bottom was all fake, the land turned into water, the air also turned into water, they became intolerant and intolerant Rejection, he is still standing here alone, with injuries and embarrassment, a pair of fragile lungs, let him stay in the same position as before, but at this time Yang Jian only needs to move his eyelashes, like a butterfly in the Amazon River Basin Flapping his wings is enough to make him sink to the center of the earth.
