"It's like I'm reminded of Heather and Alex. ”

Anne said firmly, but after finishing speaking, she sat quietly in place, caught up in her own thoughts, and waited for a while, before she raised her head again and looked at Lan Li seriously, "You say, will Heather regret it? But now, she never had a chance. ”

The ignorant words seem to be ignorant of the world, but they seem to have seen through the vicissitudes of life.

Paul couldn't help but be startled, "Annie, how do you know ......" How do you know that Heather is dead?"

But the following words were still not able to be said after all, and I didn't know what to do.

Anne raised her head to look at Paul, and said with a resolute expression, "Because Lan Li said that when traveling, not everyone can accompany him to the end." Sometimes, after all, you still need to go through it yourself. Now, Heather is on her own, right?"

The simple and simple words, the meaning is not complete, there is no beginning and no end, but Paul still understood, raised his head and glanced at Lan Li, and then nodded in a panic, "Yes...... Yes. Taking a deep breath, Paul calmed down and said carefully, "Although Heather is a person now, she will always be the strongest and sunniest, right?

"That's good!" said Anne, smiling shyly, "I love Heather's singing. ”

"So, do you prefer Heather's or Lance's?" Paul asked.

Xiao Nizi was immediately stumped, and immediately crashed into Paul's arms, "You did it on purpose! Where can you ask a question like this?" Then she widened her eyes and glared at Paul heavily, and then turned her head to look at Lan Li, "Lan Li, Paul deliberately bullied me just now, you saw it, right?"

Before Paul could defend himself, Lan Li nodded again and again, and said seriously, "Yes! I saw it! We don't want to be with Paul tonight, he's not a good boy!"

Paul was full of question marks and couldn't argue, "You...... I...... This ......" finally just looked at Lan Li and Annie dumbfounded, looking innocent, but after all, he still couldn't hold back, he laughed and drooped his shoulders, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault, Annie, please forgive me, okay?"

Lan Li was profound, and nodded solemnly, "That's right, Annie, are you willing to forgive Paul?"

However, Anne was obviously not strong enough, and she was patient and lively, but she still couldn't hold back after all, and quickly raised her hands and covered her mouth, but her smile still couldn't help but overflow lightly, and her eyebrows were full of lightness and pleasure.

Looking at Paul's pitiful expression, Anne leaned forward, grimaced, forced a smile, and said seriously, "Have you forgotten? I want to be an actor, not a singer!

The bull head didn't answer the horse's mouth, but Paul couldn't refute it, so he could only nod obediently in affirmation, and then spread his hands, "Yes, yes, it must be so." ”

With that helpless expression, Anne finally couldn't hold back any longer, and laughed happily after a puff, still covering her mouth with her hands, but the laughter had already flowed out unscrupulously, and even the atmosphere around her became brighter.

Looking at Annie who was laughing heartily, the corners of Lan Li's mouth couldn't help but rise, and her eyes were a little distracted, tonight's performance actually made Xiao Nizi find her own dream, which is definitely an unexpected gain.

Of course, now that Anne is still young, a new dream may appear every once in a while, and being an actor may not be her ultimate goal, but the most important thing is that after experiencing family turmoil and changes in life, Anne has finally found her goal of struggle, and her smile has returned to her cheeks again, and life will eventually get better little by little.

For an eleven-year-old to be expected to grow up right now is too cruel and too cold. If you can run all the way towards your dreams, stumble and learn to grow slowly, this may be a more gentle and realistic way.

"Lan Li, Lan Li!"

The call came from his ears again, Lan Li came back to his senses, and cast his gaze towards Anne, two blush on the cheeks, but there was still no sweat on his forehead, so he smiled and cast an inquiring gaze, and then began to look for Nathan's figure around.

"Lan Li, how the hell did you do it? I mean, how did you become an actor? should I do it?" Anne gasped slightly, but her eyes were exceptionally bright.

Nathan, who was originally standing in the corner chatting, paid attention all the time, and immediately noticed Lan Li's gesture of raising his hand, walked over quickly, listened to Lan Li's whispered advice, and then quickly turned to leave, and when he came back again, he still had Annie's medicine and a glass of warm water in his hand.

"Imitation, imitation is the first step of acting, and it is also the stage that every actor must go through. Lan Li is explaining, "You can learn to imitate those animals, you can also learn to imitate the people around you, and gradually learn the skills of imitation, this is the first step." He took the medicine and warm water from Nathan and handed it to Anne.

Anne, however, had long been accustomed to such a life, so she obediently took the medicine, poured it into her mouth, and then gulped down the water, but then said anxiously, "Go on, you go on." Her eyes never took off Lan Li, and only after Lan Li spoke again did she begin to drink water again.

Noticing Anne's thirst, Paul whispered to Nathan and asked for a glass of warm water again.

In the booth, Lan Li, Paul and Anne were chatting enthusiastically, Anne kept asking Paul to tell the experience of going to the ocean to shoot a surfing movie, full of curiosity and expectation, and then out of the corner of the eye, you could see that someone came to the booth and stood next to it eagerly, but for fear of disturbing the rhythm of the conversation, she didn't speak for a long time.

At this point, Anne's attention was all on Paul, so Lan Li turned her head and cast her inquiring gaze.

There was not just one person standing in front of him, but five or six people, and behind him there was a crowd of people standing and chatting, and the dividing line could not be distinguished, among which stood an old man about seventy or eighty years old, with a wrinkled face, sparse white hair, with a cane in his right hand, slightly bent back, trembling even if he just stood in place.

Lan Li hurriedly stood up, left the booth, and politely stepped forward, "Are you okay?"

"Ha, don't worry about me. I was ready to leave and the taxi was already waiting at the door. The old man chuckled heartily and explained simply.

Even though his body is no longer stable, his posture is still upright, as if he is a dedicated veteran, and his blood is deeply imprinted with traces of the past. "I just came here to tell you thank you tonight. You know, to this day, I still dream about those years a lot, but most of the time it's a nightmare, but tonight should be a sweet dream. ”

Lan Li opened his mouth slightly, trying to respond with a word, but the old man didn't give him a chance, nodded politely, and then turned around and left on crutches.

I don't know why he was in the pioneer village tonight, I don't know why he sighed like this, and I don't know what his nightmare was, but a simple sentence contains too much.

People are always asking, art is not money, what can it bring, and when even food and clothing cannot be satisfied, what qualifications do they have to talk about art?

The old man in front of him is the answer.

Food and clothing are important, money is also important, but there are more important things in the world than them, integrity, bones, faith, freedom and dreams. Perhaps, the richness of the spiritual world is not enough to sustain life, but it is enough to distinguish oneself from the rest of the world and have a soul that truly belongs to oneself.

"Young master, thank you. Another young man standing next to him interrupted Lan Li's train of thought, and said in a slightly trembling voice, but Lan Li's eyes still fell on the old man, and he didn't leave, "Tonight's performance is really wonderful! I can't believe that we really watched your performance live, I think, every Don Quixote will be jealous of me." ”

Lan Li retracted his gaze and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I was watching the old gentleman leave just now, and I was a little distracted. After admitting his mistake calmly, Lan Li continued, "It's my honor to be here tonight. I would like to thank you for the success of tonight's work. ”

After the young man left, another middle-aged man stepped forward and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't express it exactly, and finally just said, "It's going to be a very, very wonderful work, and I can't wait to see it come out now." After the exclamation, he added, "Thank you." Then he turned away in a panic.

A sentence of "thank you" contains too much.

Some people are grateful for the wonderful live performance of Lan Li, some are grateful for the resurgence of the wave of the folk era, some are grateful for the magical experience of being on the set of the film, and some are grateful for the ...... Those about the Vietnam War, about the sixties, about the lost lives, about the lost dreams.

Tonight's pioneer village was undoubtedly lively, after the performance, almost every audience member was reluctant to leave, not just for the blue ceremony, but more for the exchange of each other's inner surge and excitement, it was a wonderful night, but also a night worth remembering, the footsteps always lingered in the same place, reluctantly.

Before leaving, it seems that everyone has developed a tacit understanding, specifically to find Lan Li, no screaming, no hugs, just a simple "thank you", but countless emotions, the line between the pioneer village and the kerosene lamp bar, the crew and reality began to blur again.

Leaving this gate, they once again returned from the 60s to the 21st century, and from the era of folk songs to the era of online communication.
