Chapter 27 Joining
(Girls' Literature)
"What is wronged. I don't care about what I eat. Just eat with someone you can talk to. I want to be in Somalia. I've eaten this meal a lot. I don't know if I will eat the next meal. Where to eat. Zheng Yang said disapplausively.
"You've been to Somalia. Liang Ruozi asked with some surprise.
"yes. Cheng Yang said. The expression on his face gradually became serious. "I just fell out of love at that time. Always can't cheer up. Lao Shen took me to Somalia. Came to Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia. ”
This is the first time Zheng Yang has mentioned his lovelorn in front of Liang Ruozi. The first mention of Lao Shen.
"It was the darkest time of my life. Lost in love. starred in the movie "Perfect Life" in the Cannes Best Actor Corner Selection. I was at that time. I don't even know myself. Binge drinking. Drug. I even thought about jumping off a building. Lao Shen took me to see many psychiatrists. But the effect is not great. Lao Shen said to me, 'Let's go to Somalia.' Don't you want to die. Go there and really get a taste of what it's like to die. ’”
Speaking of which. The corners of Cheng Yang's lips showed a self-deprecating smile. Took a sip of beer. And he continued: "There we are. I really realized that death was all around us. We wore body armor. With a gun. More than a dozen security personnel were also invited. But even so. We still feel dangerous. All the people on the street had guns on their backs. Guns are a must-have for them. You can hear gunshots, explosions all the time. The security guards didn't dare to let us out of the car. Occasional next car. Caught us in the car immediately after a few minutes. The guesthouse we stayed in was the best in Mogadishu. The hotels there are not classified according to the quality of service. Rather, it is by security level. Entering a hotel is like going through security before taking a plane. Pass after level. The hotel is surrounded by watchtowers. The windows against the street are nailed. But even so, we didn't feel comfortable sleeping there. ”
"There are refugee camps everywhere in Mogadishu. It emits a variety of odors. Lao Shen brought a lot of food. There are also commonly used medicines and the like. In the distance we saw two children. Black black skinny. The eyes are particularly large. We beckoned them over. They immediately ran over. So we gave them food. They smiled and took it back. Excitedly tell the others that there is food portions here. So more children. More people gathered around. We brought a lot of food. But obviously there are not enough points at all. In the refugee camp. I saw a man sitting on the ground. The lower body is covered with a mat. A smile on his face. When the mat was uncovered, many flies flew out at once. Then you see a lot of maggots crawling on his legs. He said there was an explosion near his home last few days. His family is dead. His leg exploded like this. I'm wondering. He's all like this, and he's still laughing. So he asked him. He said something I will always remember. He said he was alive. For them, it's really nice to be alive. Because every day there are people around you who die. Every day they are facing death. ”
Speaking of which. Zheng Yang's gaze looked at Liang Ruozi. Both of them looked a little solemn. It is hard to imagine how people live at gunpoint all the time in a comfortable environment. Until you were there. I really felt it.
"At that time. I really got to know Lao Shen. Before, I just thought he was a bully who was in the underworld. I never intended to have a deep friendship with him. Since then. I identified him as a friend. Every year, he would go to some remote, impoverished places. Get a feel for the life of the people there. Bring them a lot of things. And money. He said his family was poor when he was a child. Not much better than those people. Now there is money. You should always visit those who are poor. Tell yourself. When you are rich, you can't forget the fundamentals of being a human being. You can't dislike people who are poorer than yourself and who are lower than yourself. Because I used to be like this. He said he had been wandering around. Many of the things done are dangerous. So he didn't think about getting married. I didn't think about having children. He didn't even know when he was going to die. He was afraid of harming them. He just wants to live alone. Listen to him. I decided to stay with him. Many years have passed. My relationship with him is more of a companion. Isn't a person's life just to find someone to rely on as a companion? Zheng Yang exhaled softly after speaking. smiled at Liang Ruozi.
Liang Ruozi understood the meaning of Zheng Yang's last sentence very well. Neither he nor Lao Shen will find a woman to marry. He didn't dare. Lao Shen didn't want to. So the two were together. She could also feel from Zheng Yang's expression that he admired Lao Shen. At the same time, it is also dependent. He is now very used to living with Lao Shen. He felt happy. Feel fulfilled.
"Since Lao Shen doesn't like to do black market business. Didn't he think about washing his hands and not doing anything? Liang Ruozi asked. Lao Shen's life is dangerous. This means that Zheng Yang is also in danger. This made her feel a little uneasy.
Zheng Yang shook his head slightly. Yu Youran said: "It's impossible. I did it for decades and suddenly I didn't dry my hands. It will only provoke more enemies. More trouble. By that time, I'm afraid there won't even be anyone to help him. There was no way back for him. He often persuaded me to leave him. It's just that I don't want to leave. Went to Somalia. I don't think life is important anymore. Life doesn't care about length. It's about being with the people you like. Do what you love. Again. If I did leave. Old Shen will be very lonely. I don't want him to be so lonely. ”
Listen to Zheng Yang say so much. Liang Ruozi completely understood the relationship between Zheng Yang and Lao Shen. Perhaps many people do not understand. She understood perfectly. But after listening to it, my heart was somewhat depressed. Whether it's Lao Shen. It's still Zheng Yang. Actually, they are all very nice people. It's just those things that Lao Shen did. Destined to be by their side in times of danger.
Zheng Yang saw that Liang Ruozi's expression was a little solemn. He smiled and said, "Somalia has been at war for many years. The facilities there are all old. The walls were also in tatters. But. The people there are still quite welcoming to the Chinese. They will sing "On the Golden Mountain of Beijing". He can sing "Without the Communist Party, there would be no New China". It's all very old revolutionary songs. But there it is. In that environment. Listen to those people sing these songs in Chinese. Really impressed. ”
Speaking of which. Both of them laughed. Tears of excitement glistened in his eyes.
"So I came back in perfect condition. If I were an American. I'm afraid it's not that easy. It can be said that it is impossible to come back alive. The people there hate the Americans. Zheng Yang added.
Then. The door was pushed open. Jiang Li walked in.
Liang Ruozi realized that Jiang Li had been going to the toilet for a long time. He asked, "Why did you go for so long?" ”
"I ran into an acquaintance. Chatted for a couple of sentences. Jiang Li said lightly.
Liang Ruozi found that Jiang Li's face was not very good. And he asked, "Investors." ”
Jiang Li nodded slightly.
Liang Ruozi's expression was a little serious and said, "Jiang Li." I know you want to help Xu Liang pull sponsors. But you can't see everybody pulling. You have to know Xu Liang's temper. He doesn't like messy people to invest. This affects his work. If so. He'd rather not do musicals. ”
Jiang Li also felt that she had gone too far. He said, "I see." I'm a little anxious. Will pay attention later. ”
"What's the matter? Xu Liang wants to make a musical. Zheng Yang listened to the conversation between the two. He asked with a surprised expression.
"yes. He talked to me about it two days ago. The studio has been rented. The script is almost written. Looks like he's going to do a good job. Liang Ruozi said.
Zheng Yang smiled. said: "He's really good at tossing." Doing a musical is not an easy thing to do. But while you're young, you should give it a good toss. Otherwise, at my age, I will gradually be too lazy to toss. ”
Liang Ruozi rolled her eyelids. Said dissatisfiedly: "Talking as if you are very old." You're only forty. Forty men. The good times have just begun. ”
"Brother Zheng wants to join in. I think Xu Liang will be very welcome for you to join. Jiang Li suddenly came up with this sentence. She knows very well that Liang Ruozi and Xu Liang are not very famous now. And once Zheng Yang joined. It means that this musical will be taken to the next level. Because Zheng Yang is an actor. is a first-line actor of the authentic sect. Once hung up on his name. The box office will be a little more secure. Investors will also be interested.
Zheng Yang looked at Jiang Li and grinned. joked: "Why are you working so hard for Xu Liang." It's not like him, right? ”
He's just kidding. But Jiang Li is weak-hearted. The face was all red at once. immediately defended: "I am his agent." I should help him do this. "Except for Liang Ruozi. It is impossible for her to tell others that she likes Xu Liang. If these words reach Xu Liang's ears. How will they meet in the future.
"I'm not going to join in the fun. Zheng Yang gradually put away the smile on his face and said. "I'm this age. The muscles and bones are not as neat as those of young people. According to Xu Liang's character. There must be a lot of singing and dancing in his plays. Really let me act. I don't think I can bear it. Again. I don't think my agent would agree to this. ”
listened to Zheng Yang's words. Jiang Li's face gradually darkened. She knew it was true. Xu Liang is not a celebrity in the entertainment industry. Because of Liang Ruozi's incident. His fame has plummeted. Meantime. He didn't have a lot of money. It is impossible for his musical to invite a heavyweight actor like Zheng Yang.
"You've never thought about acting in a musical. At this time, Liang Ruozi said. "I remember that Brother Zheng loved watching musicals very much. But you acted in a few little musicals in your twenties. It hasn't been done since. If you've never acted in a real musical in your life. You don't think it's a pity. You also know what kind of person Xu Liang is. He doesn't do it unless he doesn't. He really did it. That thing will definitely be as wonderful and perfect as it can. ”
listened to Liang Ruozi's words. Zheng Yang fell into deep thought.
