Chapter 341: Collapse
"Brother Ze, hurry up and go to bed, it's eleven o'clock, usually you go to bed at half past ten, it's not easy to change it back if the schedule is broken, and the bowl will be washed tomorrow morning." β
"Okay, stay safe on the road. β
"Also!Don't drink anymore, you've been drinking for a day, you're full of alcohol, it smells bad, remember to take a shower before going to bed, don't forget, use the shower gel I bought for you, if it's easy to use, I'll go first, remember to go to bed quickly!"
"Good ......"
Seeing Gao Peiling leave step by step, Lu Ze and Mickey both knew what she was thinking in their hearts, they came back in the morning and came over again in the evening, this was the first time in their relationship, wasn't it because they were afraid that Lu Ze would not be firm in his will, so he let Mickey hook up and run away, and his careful thinking was obvious.
Dip the last piece of beef on the iron net into some barbecue ingredients and eat it in his mouth, throw the disposable chopsticks into the trash, and take a sip of beer, he couldn't help but burp, Lu Ze glanced at Mickey, who was a little confused in his eyes next to him, but he was still in good spirits, and sighed deeply.
He was drunk by Mickey, starting in the morning, the two had lunch and drank at two o'clock in the afternoon, and at night on a whim set up a barbecue at the door of the wine house and drank again, this whole day, the two of them never left the wine, Lu Ze drank an estimated only two-thirds of Mickey's, not that Lu Ze did not accompany him, it was really impossible to stand Mickey's total self-punishment, and he didn't vomit!
But just like that, he is not drunk yet, he obviously walks in a straight circle, but no matter how he pours it, he can't lie down completely, and for the first time in his life, Lu Ze is convinced of a person's amount of alcohol.
After pouring water on the charcoal fire, throwing the stove into the store, and cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, the wine house closed, and seeing that Mickey was still in good spirits with the cat, Lu Ze hugged the quilt from the house and pointed to the sofa.
"Are you sure you're going to sleep here tonight? You can stay in my room, I'll live outside. β
Lu Ze's bed is single, and it is impossible to live with two big men, but when he wants Mickey to sleep on the sofa, he always feels a little guilty of not being well entertained, and thinks about sacrificing himself and making do.
"It's not polite to snatch the owner's bed, I'll just sleep here, just give me the quilt, you go take a bath, don't forget to call me when you're done, go and go." β
Taking the initiative to lay out the quilt, he pushed Lu Ze away and waved his hand, no way, Lu Ze could only enter the bathroom, and when he came out of the shower, he found that Mickey had already snored, shook his head, gave up the idea of asking him to take a bath, returned to the house with the lame, and entered the system space the moment he lay down.
......
In the space, translucent dummies are working on the set, taking advantage of this time, Lu Ze is still seizing the time to review the script, after all, the passing line of 95 points has given Lu Ze a lot of pressure, and the audience in the system has a ruthless taste, maybe the passing grade in its eyes can basically score full marks in the hearts of excellent filmmakers.
Originally, Lu Ze also wanted to steal some professional skills as a director in the system space, after all, the previous series of tutorials did not teach him how to make movies, only taught him how to be an actor.
It's a pity that the dummy director and the dummy field affairs have no language communication, and the control of the camera is also solid but nothing new, which makes Lu Ze unable to steal anything at all, plus he delayed filming because of stealing and was beaten twice, Lu Ze can be regarded as giving up this idea, and doing what an actor should do.
Today's script is ...... "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", and the next scene to be filmed is the scene where the actor takes his child to sleep in the subway bathroom.
"The set is set, please prepare the host. β
The scene instantly switched to the bathroom, with newspapers on the floor, Lu Ze sat on the ground, holding this translucent fake son, putting his leather shoes against the edge of the door frame, silently accumulating emotions.
"Ready to shoot, three...... Two...... One, the shooting begins. β
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
The knock on the door sounded, Lu Ze's emotions that were about to overflow burst out instantly, his face was expressionless, but his breathing was a little heavy, and the red bloodshot that was held out when the tears accumulated appeared in his eyes, holding the translucent fake son in his arms, his legs pressed against the door panel, his eyes looked in the bathroom, gradually, his expression began to be a little uneasy, the tears slipped down at this moment, the time was just right, and finally wiped away the tears soaked in his beard with the back of his hand.
During this time, a drama every night is also a very big load on Lu Ze, because he may be filming in the system space for several months, or even nearly a year, and give him time to rest...... There is only one day.
The most important thing is that this is completely different from the first stage of the tutorial in the system space, after all, the first stage is just passively accepted, and the consciousness of the self is zeroed, and now this cramming review method, plus the fact that it has been performed for more than one hundred and fifty nights in a row, really sometimes makes Lu Ze mentally extremely tired.
Most of the cast ...... He can't act in more than 100 movies in his life, but he only took more than 100 days to do it, and all of them are classics, and the requirements for passing grades are so high, the difficulty of interpretation is absolutely hellish.
But the benefits are also very great, Lu Ze's script comprehension ability and rapid deduction ability have been greatly strengthened, which is exactly what Lu Ze lacks, just like in "The King of Fighters", because of the lack of preparation in filming Mr. Tree, which made Liu Ying difficult in the choice of Lu Ze and another actor, and now this situation will never happen again.
The system only gives him a short two days to memorize the script, so ten minutes after getting the script, the audition starts, which seems to be ...... It's not impossible.
In addition, the system has increased the difficulty, and Lu Ze is acting with a group of translucent glass people, no expressions, only lines, can you imagine the scene of you cooperating with a big glass ball? Lu Ze is like this, what is this exercise?
Stable!
Originally, Lu Ze's excellent stability has been greatly strengthened, and it is an exaggeration to say that he can make people cry when he hugs a dog and shoots the Titanic.
However, although the big glass ball is in the play, they are robots after all, and the stability of the lines is also amazing, and in the part they perform, they never make mistakes, which makes Lu Ze have to keep up with their rhythm and can't keep up...... Come here and get beaten.
What kind of monster did this high-pressure filming mode eventually cultivate? Because of the strict passing mark and the shortcomings of the system that are more tricky than those of top filmmakers, his performance level has risen to a new peak.
The terrifying robot that has no human appearance makes his emotional control and stability to a higher level, and the extreme pressure of script study time brings extremely fast script understanding and lightning-fast storyboarding, composition, and action construction speed in the brain, which can be called the 2080TI in the human brain!
This period of study did not allow Lu Ze to reach the point of being reborn, after all, before this, he had reached the peak of an actor's performance level, on par with top acting masters at home and abroad.
But the deeper his understanding of acting becomes, the more difficult it is to improve, but fortunately, he was squeezed by the system and successfully stepped out of the bottleneck that plagued all top actors.
Perhaps, now we can call Lu Ze ...... The ultimate invincible experience Genre Master Acting Crazy Demon Super Saya Robot 2.0 Version.
Strong aside.
The topic is back on track, during the shooting, the knock on the door should be smooth, and the sound travels far away, to form a very lonely and lost ear picture, but now, the knock has a huge deviation from the script, the knock has become more and more urgent, and the intensity of the knock has also begun to increase, making a loud noise, and most importantly, the people outside the door have begun to bang on the door!
This is obviously different from the script, but there is no hint of the end of the shooting in mid-air, and if he doesn't continue filming now, he will be whipped! There is no way, he can only grit his teeth and stand against the door, continue this performance, and at the same time increase the intensity of his expression to maintain the mood that is consistent with the current situation.
"Daddy......"
Lu Ze was startled, and turned his head sharply, you want to know this scene...... His "son" has no lines!
But this time, what he saw was not a glass man with a round face like a ball and transparent body, but a little boy with broken hair, fair skin, delicate face, very cute appearance, big eyes half-squinted, the corners of his mouth raised, revealing small white teeth, and a smile that could make the hearts of old aunts move......
But this little boy is clearly Lu Ze's childhood self......
"You're ready...... How long are you going to stay here......"
"I ......"
"Knock! knock! knock!"
The people outside the door began to try to hit the door non-stop, and at this time, Lu Zegang was startled by this "self", and was questioned by him, and his leg accidentally unloaded, and the door that lost support was finally knocked open.
Standing outside the door was a man dressed in a blue and gray cleaning suit, carrying a mop and a bucket...... Mix yourself in the dark!
"You're really dying? With such a lot of mental pressure, if you continue to play like this, you are not far from going crazy, and it is time to go out to work...... Lu Ze. β
"Grass !!!"
With a shout, he instantly broke away from the system space, Lu Ze sat up from the bed violently, the sweat on his forehead dripped down his chin and fell on the futon, leaching out circles of water stains, his buttocks moved back a little, leaning on the head of the bed, he took a deep breath, and picked up a glass of water from the bedside table, his hand was still a little trembling, making the water in the cup ripple.
Cheers in one breath, relieving his thirsty throat, he lit a cigarette, and kept thinking about what he said to himself when he was a child just now, and the increasingly tired spirit during this time proved the authenticity of what the black boss said, so ...... It seems like something is really going to be wrong with the spirit.
Pulling out a cigarette and holding it in his mouth, the zippo slashed through the flint and exploded a little starlight, and then the flame rose, and for a while it turned out to be very beautiful, when the cigarette burned, the tobacco made a soft clicking sound, he calmed down, thinking about the solution to the problem, but after thinking about it over and over again, he came to the conclusion that it was...... There is no way.
Unless......
"Ding...... Bite...... Ding-Chang ......"
The room was quiet enough, Lu Ze's ears moved, as if he heard someone rummaging in the wine house, Zhang Weiyu drank so much wine, and now he definitely can't wake up, so Lu Ze immediately ruled out that the person outside the house is Mickey, there are only two people in the house, except for him, he can only be a thief!
"Meow~"
"Shh
The lame man screamed softly, was stopped by Lu Ze with his finger to his mouth, got out of bed gently, did not wear slippers, took out a metal baseball bat from under the bed, sighed with the lame man again, quietly opened the door, slowly walked to the door of the wine house, and gently pressed the switch of the electric light.
"Huh?"
"Lean ......"
It is indeed Lu Ze who thinks too much, this person is really not a thief, but Zhang Weiyu, who should have been drunk and slept on the sofa, at this moment he was flipping through the refrigerator, took out a bottle of beer and opened it, saw the light on, looked at Lu Ze stupidly, and waved his hand at him.
"Are you a midnight murderer? the kind that tricks people into staying at home, is enthusiastic and loving during the day, and turns into a cold-blooded killer at night, kills people, and buries them in the basement?"
"Why are you sick, don't sleep at night, don't turn on the lights, and come out in the dark to flip through beer? I thought there was a thief in the house, and I was afraid that you would be stabbed to death by a thief while sleeping, so I came out to take a look, and besides, why do you still drink? I only slept for more than three hours, can you stand it? Hurry up and give it to me, don't drink it, even if you are frustrated, you can't harm your body like this." β
Lu Ze put the bat against the wall, walked over and wanted to snatch the wine bottle from Mickey's hand, but he dodged it and stretched out a finger to Lu Ze.
"One bottle, just one bottle, I'll squint for a while when I'm done, I'll have to drink something, or ...... I can't sleep. β
"You didn't drink until eleven o'clock, and you got drunk like that, and you still drank at two o'clock? No, give it to me quickly, and then go back to sleep, you have to listen to me this time, you are so drunk that it hurts your body too much. β
"Hey, Lu Ze, don't, friend, I really need to drink some wine, I wake up with nightmares every night at this time, I need to drink some wine to be able to sleep, I really ...... It's going crazy. β
He lowered his head, and Lu Ze took advantage of his unpreparedness, snatched his wine bottle, put it aside, held Mickey's arms with both hands, and looked at him seriously.
"Mickey, tell me, how long has it been since you had a good night's sleep?"
"A year and eight months? or more, I could only sleep four hours a night, and I had nightmares every day, not the same kind of dreams, but they were all scary, at first...... I broke down, I cried, but in the end I found that the wine relieves me, give it to me, I drink it and go to sleep, you also rest early, remember to turn off the lights, good night. β
Lu Ze watched him pick up the wine bottle and sit on the sofa in frustration, staring directly at the night train that occasionally passed by outside the glass wall, raised a beer from time to time to take a sip, then lit a cigarette, held the cigarette, and sat in a daze.
Persuasion doesn't work, as he said, he really needs to get himself drunk now in order to sleep soundly, Lu Ze looked at him for a while, didn't speak, turned around and left, but thought that he should take him to see a psychiatrist tomorrow, turned off the lights, and left him with a flashing neon sign, Lu Ze just wanted to go back to the room, but was suddenly stopped by Mickey.
"Lu Ze, what do you say I look like?"
"If you're not decadent, it's really handsome. β
"Yes, I'm handsome, but prison ...... You know, there's nowhere to vent, those elve-up bastards have some weird ideas, and I hate there...... I hate Lawrence, I hate him......"
Lu Ze licked his lips, leaned against the door frame, and quietly watched him take a puff of cigarette and take a sip of wine, under the flickering neon lights, he looked particularly lonely and vicissitudes, Lu Ze thought for a while, and finally answered him.
"But you went in drunk driving, instead of hating Lawrence, you should hate alcohol more, listen to me, you should not continue to drink, this is the sincere advice of a friend. β
"What about cocaine? Well? What about cocaine? As long as I pay some compensation for drunk driving, I can get out for a few months, and then I can find a new company to make a new movie, my house, my car won't be taken away by the bank, then you tell me! Should I hate alcohol! Or should I hate Lawrence!"
"Hey, Mickey......"
"Look at me, look at me!"
Mickey lifted his shirt, and there were several wounds on his chest that were not long, but they bulged outward, obviously deep, but the wound on his stomach was the length of an adult's small arm, and he was pointing at his scar under the flashing neon light, staring at Lu Ze.
"There's a son of a bitch, and he wants me to be his bullshit lover, fuck it! Lao Tzu resisted and blinded him in one eye, and that's the real reason why I was in jail for a year and a half! And then he stabbed me, with a toothbrush, and almost stuck it in my heart, and I almost died, and the prison guards! Is a drunk driver in jail confined? Does he eat bad food? I have dysentery and diarrhea for a month, a month! Then you tell me! Should I hate alcohol! or should I hate! Fuck! Lawrence!"
His eyes were red, his index finger was pointing down, he was making a sound, the green tendons on his forehead were beating, Lu Ze saw fire in his eyes, and he also saw hatred, he really hated Lawrence, really.
"I prayed every day, prayed that I would live, that I would come out alive, that my spirit depended on ...... It's it!"
He took out a thick stack of A4 paper from his bag, held it in front of Lu Ze, and then threw it hard, the paper flew in the air, and then fell all over the ground, and he grabbed Lu Ze's collar, and his expression suddenly became fierce.
"I'm going to fight a turnaround battle! I'm going to fight a turnaround battle with my life! This is my last straw! I'm going to get my house back! My car! I'm going to live a drunken life again! I'm going to live a life like a human being again! I've seen "The True Colors of Heroes"! I've waited for a year and a half! I'm just waiting for this one chance! I'm going to get my stuff back! Not to prove how great I am! I want to tell everybody! Mine my stuff! I'm going to get it back! I'm going to tell Lawrence! He can't kill me, but I'm going to kill him!"
"I thought of you as soon as I got out of prison, I need your help, but not a meal, a drink! What I need is you! Help me go back to the past! Not even the past! And what I can give you can also make you no longer what I used to be! You have lost something! You have lost more than me! Your dignity! Your personality! Your glory! This is more important than money! We have been injust! But this is not an excuse for malaise! I am resisting! And you are suffering! I will never agree that this will happen to you! I want to make those who are sorry for me pay back a hundredfold! I want to pay it with blood! What about you?"
"Your trophy is gone! It's gone! It wants you to get it back! It's back to the person who really deserves it, not on someone else's bookshelf as a display! Get it back! Come with me! Go get some better ones back, you can, I can do it, how about it? Fight it! Come with me?"
He kept looking at Lu Ze's eyes, with anxiety and urgency in his eyes, he was waiting for a positive answer, and he was also looking for a vengeful comrade-in-arms, just ......
"It's really late, go to bed. β
He gradually let go of his hand, smoothed Lu Ze's collar, looked at Lu Ze's eyes, and gradually ...... With a mocking smile, he turned around quietly, lay down on the sofa, and covered himself with a quilt.
"Okay, OK~ sleep, I hope I can sleep to death, I can't see the morning sun, there won't be so many things to worry about, forget about death, yes, how good it is to die." β
He quieted down, Lu Ze stared at him for a long time, then returned to the room with a baseball bat, put the stick back under the bed, and saw the cripple looking at him on the bed, he lay down, held the cripple in his arms, and muttered softly.
"What do you do if you change it?"
When the lights were turned off, there was silence in the room, but the two drunken men estimated that neither of them could sleep well tonight.
......
Early in the morning, I opened my eyes at half past seven, got up, opened the curtains, lit a cigarette, smoked quietly, got up and prepared to wash, and when I passed by the door of the wine house, I saw Mickey packing up his things, and the paper that was scattered all over the ground last night is now gone.
"Good morning~"
"Early. β
Mickey seemed to forget about last night's collapse and hysteria, smiled and waved his hand to Lu Ze, it was obvious that Lu Ze didn't succeed here, and he should also leave.
"What are you going to eat this morning? Like steamed dumplings, don't you like it very much?"
"Forget it, man, let's talk about it when I have a chance, I'm leaving, I'm going back to England early, I'm going to prepare my film, see how much sponsorship I can get, if I succeed, I'll come back to you, let's have another drink, what do you think?"
"Okay, then...... Good luck buddy. β
Mickey nodded, put on his backpack, Lu Ze opened the roller shutter door for him, ready to let him go, one step, two steps...... When he walked to the door, he turned around, took off his cap, made a very gentlemanly hat salute, bowed slightly, and then put his hat back on.
"I wish you happiness for the rest of your life, and it is a pleasure to meet you, my friend. β
"Me too. β
Lu Ze forgot that he wanted to wash, picked up a towel from the bar, and gently wiped the tabletop, until the wind chimes rang, he stepped out of the door halfway, Lu Ze got up, wiped his hands with a towel.
"Maybe I should have a contract or something. β
βwhat......οΌβ
Mickey turned sharply, his hands still supporting the doorknob, and he was caught in the middle of the doorframe, his expression a little glazed.
"I mean, I should have a labor contract or something, after all, I don't go down to the black mine to dig coal, lest you can't shoot and run, my salary will not be guaranteed, I need a third of the deposit, that's the rule, isn't it? β
His expression gradually changed from sluggishness to surprise, and finally to a burst of ecstasy, and he held his head in his hands and roared in disbelief.
"I scribbled a Jesus Christ!!"
β......β
