Chapter 1: Awakening from a Big Dream
In my mind, pictures flashed one after another, as if I was flipping through mottled old photos, yellow, moldy, incomplete, and blurry figures.
After a long time, the scene freezes in a solemn courtroom, a middle-aged man in a blue and white striped prisoner's suit.
He tilted his head slightly, his expression calm, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.
The light that shone into the skylight, a little lingering dust appeared brightly, and the eyes became darker and deeper.
"The defendant, Xu Changge, a well-known artist, drove while intoxicated, had a major traffic accident, and a hit-and-run caused the death of one person, and his conduct has constituted the crime of causing a traffic accident.
The public prosecution's characterization is accurate and the law is correctly applied, and it should be supported.
In view of the defendant Xu Changge's refusal to admit guilt after being brought into the case and his lack of a clear understanding of his own conduct, the defense of the defendant's lawyer for a lighter punishment is not established.
In accordance with the provisions of Article 133, Article 72, Paragraph 1, Article 73, Paragraphs 2 and 3, and Article 61 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China, the judgment is as follows.
Defendant Xu Changge committed the crime of causing a traffic accident and was sentenced to 10 years imprisonment and deprivation of political ~ political rights for 5 years......"
On the judgment platform, the presiding judge read out the verdict, and the people in the audience were excited, emotional, happy, or regretful.
But there is no doubt that the once popular and dazzling artist Xu Changge will no longer exist!
The long reports and criticisms of media reporters, the disappointment and betrayal of loyal fans, and the pain and unwillingness of relatives and friends......
Nothing can change his end - he is ruined and will never be able to turn over!
Those gray memories poured into Xu Changge's mind like a floodgate, and he suddenly understood that the lonely and silent figure ...... It turned out to be yourself!
From breaking into the entertainment industry in ignorance, to gradually becoming known, with his amazing talent, he rose rapidly in the entertainment industry.
He was a fledgling at the age of 20 and became famous at the age of 30, from an unknown little dragon to a world-famous actor.
During this period, there were countless ups and downs, difficulties, frustrations, hesitations, and pains, but all of them did not knock him down.
I missed a lot of things, and I have let down many people, and I have regretted that I have cried in the middle of the night, and I will hesitate inadvertently, and the price paid will not be too great.
But in front of people, he still gathered confusion and confusion, and faced it with pride.
In this way, his steps became more and more stable, and he got closer and closer to his dream.
The road ahead is like a broad road, the road is smooth, it should be smooth sailing, right, how did it become the current situation?
An elaborate drinking party, the betrayal of a close one, the life of an outlaw...... He could only look powerlessly at the wanton smiling faces of the people behind the scenes and the backs of the people who walked away.
In an instant, a well-known A-list star became a notorious prisoner.
Everything is like a big drama, ups and downs, sudden changes in the wind and clouds, others smacked their tongues, and the world was in an uproar!
It wasn't until the day he was ruined that Xu Changge suddenly understood that he was a top actor...... It's just an actor!
Is this person really himself?
Is that glorious and frustrated journey really his future destination?
It seems to be so real, or is it a butterfly fan, and the yellow sorghum is in a dream?
Xu Changge felt that he was gradually sinking in the darkness, surrounded by an endless sea, and no matter how he shouted and searched, he could not see the light.
"Bang Bang Bang Bang
The ferocious cold rain pounded on the windows like a drum that urged people to wake up.
A flash of lightning swept through the dark night, Xu Changge sat up from the bed suddenly, the sweat on his forehead fell drippingly, crossed the bridge of his nose, and fell to his lips before he felt the corners of his mouth crack.
He gasped for breath, and the image that greeted him was like a stormy wave, which suddenly broke down the defenses he had built, and made him unable to resist anything.
The old desk was mottled by the peeling paint, and the copper blocks on the corners of the table that had been hinged had been polished by the sleeves.
Piles of books and materials related to acting were stacked in a messy manner, and the incandescent lights overhead seemed to be swaying to the rhythm of the rain hitting the windows.
This image awakens a scene in the depths of his memory, shocks him and makes him throb.
Here it is...... Your own dilapidated rental house in Yokoyama many years ago?
Xu Changge suddenly jumped up from the bed, rushed into the bathroom, and looked at the old mirror.
In the mirror, which was broken into three pieces and barely pieced together, he saw a familiar and unfamiliar figure.
Fresh and clean broken hair, well-defined cheeks, and a straight nose...... It's still him, but it's him a long time ago!
The only thing that is slightly different from when I was young is that pair of eyes, deep and quiet, like a deep and clear pool of water, without the slightest bit of youth and immaturity.
The beam of the energy-saving lamp was reflected on his brown eyes, which were surprisingly beautiful with a pure, cold luster.
In his decades of life, Xu Changge is confident that he can handle any situation calmly, but at this time he has no way to calm down.
Struggling to keep his emotions in check, he quickly returned to his room and picked up the worn-out calendar from the table.
The calendar is full of his handwriting: December 26 - December 28 (research role), December 29 (audition for roles with lines), December 30......
And most importantly, that year! 1998!
It's true, he was born again...... Back twenty years ago!
Xu Changge's breathing became rapid, and joy poured out from every corner of his body, densely spreading all over his body.
This year, he was just a fledgling artist, who had never been glorified, but he had never experienced a lot of pain and embarrassment, betrayal and despair.
This year, the sister who is dependent on her has not become a desperate black and white photo.
This year, when she first met, her smiling eyes were full of innocence, ignorance and innocence of unknown worlds.
This year, there are too many things that have not happened, and there are too many people who have not yet encountered them.
Do it all over again, and those regrets that even if you frantically smash your fists against the wall, you can't offset the slightest pain in your heart!
In the past 20 years, there have been too many opportunities and challenges, and there have been too many trade-offs and misses.
What he wants to do is not just an artist, even an actor.
And those who left the deepest scars on themselves and designed to frame him......
Xu Changge's gaze calmed down, and the raindrops crackled on the slightly flickering glass window, reflecting a long and dark figure.
