Chapter 35: A Long Conversation with Cao Jinfei
I only sang about 12 songs in this small concert, so it didn't last long, after all, this was not a planned performance, and I was not a professional singer, so it was difficult to maintain a state for a long time, and the tearing way of singing made my voice very uncomfortable.
At the moment when I was about to collect the guitar, someone in the crowd suddenly mentioned that they couldn't watch my performance in vain, let alone eat and drink the drinks and food I provided them for free, they began to take out the coins from their wallets and put them in my piano case based on the spirit of giving to get, just for a moment, it was already full of banknotes of different denominations, the assistant and Le Yao stood outside the coffee shop, and the other was in the coffee shop, recording this precious scene with their cameras.
The crowd had gradually dispersed, and the assistant came to me with a box of banknotes and asked, "Mr. Zhao, what to do with this money?" ”
I thought about it for a moment and replied, "Just stay at Mochou Coffee Shop as a bonus for the employees." ”
The assistant nodded, and began to count the amount of those banknotes, and I pushed open the door and entered the coffee shop, and sat down opposite Le Yao and Cao Jinfei, the few bodyguards they brought were still very imposing at the door of the coffee shop, in fact, as long as Le Yao appeared in public, there was almost no freedom at all.
Cao Jinfei said to me with emotion: "Zhaoyang, I always couldn't understand what you idealistic young people are pursuing, but today I have personally experienced it, this kind of tacit understanding and mutual trust between people is really rare in this materialistic society, I just paid special attention to it with Le Yao, and the audience who are willing to pay for your performance has about 70% of the proportion, which is a spontaneous payment!" ”
"Actually, I was quite surprised that this happened!"
Le Yao picked up the words while looking back at the pictures she had just taken on her mobile phone: "We always question whether the world will be okay?" So living in their own small world is not willing to pay for this big world, everyone is becoming more and more indifferent, more and more tired of the relationship between people, and the emergence of the road of literature and art is like a quick-acting heart-saving pill, changing our mood towards the world, re-establishing the enthusiasm between people, so that people dare to get and dare to pay, so the emergence of this phenomenon today is the inevitable result of Zhaoyang's efforts Zhaoyang, we all really agree that you are doing a very deep thing! ”
Cao Jinfei said: "However, this road of literature and art has also been created by two investors and spending hundreds of millions of dollars, in the final analysis, the realization of idealism is still based on realism, and only you entrepreneurs with a sense of social responsibility and conscience are interested and qualified to do it, and it is still too difficult for ordinary people to talk about idealism."
Le Yao glared at Cao Jinfei and said dissatisfiedly: "Is it interesting for you to pour cold water like this?" ”
Cao Jinfei has never liked to have a verbal dispute with Le Yao, he just smiled, and this time I took the words, and said with a stern expression: "Cao Shao is not wrong, this road is burned with money and various resources in the final analysis, if there is no influence and vigorous publicity, even if you have money to invest, I am afraid there is no current result, but I am not depressed, although we cannot change the law of money supremacy in this world, but we can use this law to guide everyone to accept more diversified values, After all, no one wants to live in a world with extreme tendencies! Isn't it? ”
This time, Le Yao and Cao Jinfei finally had a tacit understanding like husband and wife, nodded at the same time, and then ended the topic.
After drinking a cup of coffee, I asked the two of them to have some wine, but Le Yao refused on the grounds that her aunt was not suitable for drinking, and then went back to the hotel first, which also prompted me and Cao Jinfei, a famous young man in the capital, to have the opportunity to drink a drink of only two people face-to-face for the first time
At this time, the lobster was on the market, so drinking some beer and eating some crayfish became the most enjoyable thing in summer, I invited Cao Jinfei to go to a lobster restaurant on the side of Mochou Road, asked for a pot of lobster and some cold dishes and began to drink.
Although Cao Jinfei is famous, he doesn't have many big and small shelves, and he can accept this kind of civilian small restaurant, and our communication is not awkward because of the difference in class.
A bottle of beer went down, and we talked more and more, and then after inquiring about each other's actual age, they began to call each other brothers, in fact, I and Cao Jinfei are the same age, but I was born 10 days earlier than him, but this is also a lot of fate.
Cao Jinfei seemed to have bitter water to pour, and after taking a big sip of beer, he said to me: "Zhaoyang, we are all men, I won't hold some words in my stomach, do you think my marriage with Le Yao is interesting?" ”
Although I have never talked to Cao Jinfei about this topic, I know a little bit about his and Le Yao's marital status, so that after a period of silence, he replied: "It depends on what attitude you use to treat this marriage, in fact, in the eyes of outsiders, they all know that your union is out of the needs of family interests, but you are so affectionate in public, and everyone is reluctant to say anything!" ”
Cao Jinfei drank another glass of beer, looked up at me, and said after a long time: "The days I have lived with Le Yao are not short, I know that she looks wavering, but she is quite persistent in her bones, that's why she has liked you for so many years, am I Cao Jinfei really stupid?" The one she has done for you over the years has long surpassed the relationship between friends, but I don't have anything to say, anyway, she and I have such a tacit understanding, neither of them interferes in each other's private lives, but this state never ends, is it really good? ”
I didn't have many opportunities to contact Cao Jinfei, and this was the first time he mentioned in front of me that I had a relationship with Le Yao that was difficult to explain, because of the sensitive relationship between the three of us, I didn't know how to answer for a while, so I took a sip of beer and took it to give myself some time to think.
I finally said to him, "I can tell that you have had enough of this state, and I am afraid that this is the truest purpose of your coming to me today, right?" ”
"Sort of, in fact, I've always wanted to find a chance to talk to you, I really don't know what Le Yao thinks, she seems to be very reluctant to live now, and puts all her energy on her film and television career, which makes me very embarrassed, my parents don't like her to do this! Do you understand what I mean? ”
Of course, I understand what Cao Jinfei meant, because he did not participate in the investment of Le Yao's film and television company, but only gave Le Yao a sum of money, which just shows how difficult it is for him to be sandwiched between Le Yao and his parents, and the topic between us has become heavy, I don't want to say too many scenes that have nothing to do with the theme, so I asked directly: "Before I answer you, can you tell me, what are your feelings for Le Yao?" Is it just the relationship between a nominal couple? ”
"I" Cao Jinfei's face was a little dazed, and then he picked up his glass and drank the remaining beer, before he said: "For a woman whose mind is not completely on me, I can't give real feelings!" ”
"Really? If Le Yao also thinks like you, then there is a big misunderstanding between you, because you don't trust each other, and you both feel that the other party is not sincere, so you simply wander outside the marriage, looking for emotional sustenance, but the more you live, the more empty it becomes! ”
Cao Jinfei's face was a little ugly, obviously touched by my words, and he asked half-incredulously: "Could it be that Le Yao has really let go of his feelings for you for so many years?" If you put it down, why would she come to you whenever she has time? Never thought of leaving private time for me, a rightful husband! ”
"Because every time she has time, you Cao Gongzi still don't know which woman's bed to stay in, how do you let her leave her private time for you? She is looking for me to be out of sight, and someone can say a few annoying words" Speaking of this, I slowed down my tone again, and said to him sincerely: "You really should know more about Le Yao, although she is from a wealthy family like you, but after her parents divorced, she has been living an independent life, she has lived a market life all these years, busy with her livelihood, so she does not have a wealthy temperament, she is actually like most women, what she longs for is not the illustrious family, but a sense of security at home, There's also a man who can be with her through thick and thin, so she's disgusted with your unregulated private life, not really that she doesn't have any feelings for you, and she once told me that she will feel happy when you can spend some time with her! ”
Cao Jinfei fell into silence, he seemed to be reflecting on himself!
I asked again, "You sue me, do you love Le Yao?" Or is it just out of a man's possessiveness, although he is outside in the twilight, he wants to ask Le Yao to treat you wholeheartedly! If you really fulfill your responsibilities as a husband, I believe that Le Yao will also face up to your marriage, after all, she is not a stupid woman! ”
"I love her, I'm afraid I'll never forget it for the rest of my life, a few months ago she washed my clothes and made a breakfast, I was really happy for it all day, I feel like a family man I also tried to communicate with her and cultivate a common hobby with her" Speaking of this, Cao Jinfei smiled self-deprecatingly, and said: "I know that she likes to play games, and I also learn to play games as if I flattered, and finally she put her energy on making movies, and I myself was addicted to the game and couldn't extricate myself, and finally got the reputation of a game master!" ”
Listening to Cao Jinfei's complaint, I immediately had a feeling of crying and laughing, indeed, Le Yao was an out-and-out game master before he became famous, not only helping some games shoot promotional posters, but he was also lurking in the game day and night, in this way to vent the oppression that reality gave her, but Cao Jinfei is not a rich young master, and having this favorite mind is enough to prove that he has love for Le Yao, but these two people are too proud and too paranoid, No one wants to really bow their heads in front of each other, and still do their own thing, so that this relationship will be stifled before it has time to sprout!
Cao Jinfei's love was ignited like this, and he began to drink as if venting, but I have already figured out the crux of the relationship between him and Le Yao, in the final analysis, it is two people who do not worry about food and clothing, and they are living like this, fortunately, Cao Jinfei already has the intention of changing this state, he hopes that I can convey these thoughts to Le Yao for him, but I hope that he can take the initiative to talk to Le Yao, at least with a sincere promise first, and then stage a good story of a prodigal son who turns back and does not change!
As for some things and some feelings between me and Le Yao, they should have been drowned in the river of years a long time ago, and they shouldn't have been taken out to talk about!
Actually, Cao Jinfei still has some misunderstandings about us, she said that Le Yao has done a lot of things for me that are beyond the scope of friends, and Le Yao is also heartbroken for Robben, a man who likes to cause trouble, I am not a special case! It is conceivable that if Robben was in China, Le Yao would not come to me so often
This night, I easily poured Cao Jinfei too much, I took him back to the hotel, Le Yao waited at the elevator entrance, saw this scene, and said angrily: "Are you the ecstasy soup you poured for him, how did you drink this virtue?" ”
I helped Cao Jinfei into the elevator before replying: "I have something to do in my heart, can I not drink too much?" ”
Le Yao listened to what I said, and scolded: "Zhaoyang, you are a lack of virtue, anyway, he drank too much, and it was me who tossed at night, not you and me, you take him back to your room to sleep tonight, I don't serve such a drunkard!" ”
Although she said this, she still opened the door of the hotel room, and with great effort helped Cao Jinfei to the bed with me, and then sat on the sofa by herself while drinking hot water and gasping
I also poured myself a cup of hot water, and didn't say to Le Yao until I finished drinking, "You know what? Cao Jinfei in order to have a common language with you, but also privately played games as a hobby, really, your husband's bad reputation as a game master is completely due to love! ”
"Is there such a thing?"
"He told me in person when he was drinking, but then you went to make a movie, and his plan was ruined!"
Le Yao looked at Cao Jinfei, still with some doubts, and said: "Zhaoyang, you can't just talk about it just because you want to solve the conflict for us!" You say he's playing games for me, but you're telling me, which game is he playing? ”
"Well, we really haven't talked about this in such detail, and when he wakes up, you can ask him yourself."
Le Yao didn't dig any further, but instead cared about my game company, and she asked again: "By the way, when will the mobile game developed by your company be launched and operated, I can't wait to try it!" ”
I jokingly said, "Are you a RMB player, our game only welcomes RMB players!" ”
Le Yao sneered and replied: "Sister, I have spent more RMB than ever since I played the game, and it is difficult to calculate the amount of RMB in numbers, you have to polish your own eyes, and then hurry up to please me, because the person standing in front of you is a super R player!" ”
After chatting with Le Yao for a while about the development progress of the game, I returned to my room, and planned to find an opportunity for her to communicate with Cao Jinfei, after all, they are going to live together for a lifetime, I really hope that they are the same as normal couples, there is affection and love, and there is a heart to stay together until old age, and Le Yao, a woman who has not really experienced much of a happy life, really needs a husband who loves her wholeheartedly!
On the fourth day after I left Nanjing, Anqi and Zhang Yixi finally changed their itinerary temporarily at my urging, flew directly from Japan to the United States, and then transferred the letter I entrusted to them to Mi Cai, and this is the first time I wanted to get in touch with her so actively after Mi Cai left, although I promised her that I would wait for her to come back with a Mo Chou mentality, but I couldn't learn her news for a long time, which has made me close to the critical point of patience, I really want to know what way she is living now, Did you miss me as much as I missed her?
