11. Love

Li Fei's expression froze.

There was surprise in his eyes, as if he had seen Jian Hua for the first time, and he couldn't help but look at the other party from head to toe.

After Jian Hua threw out that shocking sentence, he opened the menu of the coffee shop casually and flipped through it, he was always at a disadvantage in that conversation, and was led away by Li Fei, until he played his cards unreasonably just now, and the situation was reversed.

Besides—

Jian Hua narrowed his eyes slightly: he didn't think he could hide it.

When he answered the phone in the morning, Li Fei didn't report his identity yet, so he knew, how familiar was Li Fei's voice?

Just now I found out that Li Fei also had the secret of his ability, and when his mind was shaken, Jian Hua was attracted by the magazine poster again.

He has exposed too much......

After ordering a cup of Americano, Jian Hua rang the bell and handed the menu back to the waiter, he didn't understand what these bitter brown drinks were good about, although Li Fei let him feel free, but after reading the layout of this store, Jian Hua felt that not letting Li Fei lose more money was probably a friendly way.

Seeing Jian Hua pointing to the cheapest one, Li Fei smiled.

"You're so kind."

The actor has already resumed his appearance of talking and laughing, but his brows are slightly furrowed, as if he is worried about something.

Under the warm and bright afternoon sunshine, they talked about Xingtian Entertainment Media and movies, and the atmosphere seemed pleasant and peaceful. Those who are accused of white are not uncomfortable, and those who say more than rude words are even more calm.

When Assistant Lin arrived, he looked at the two people who were talking happily in surprise.

"I'm sorry, I'm late for the high-speed traffic jam." Assistant Lin wiped his sweat while opening the briefcase he was carrying and took out the contract documents.

Assistant Lin has been by Li Fei's side for three years, others don't know, he doesn't know?

The actor Li Fei is well-known in the circle for his good temper, but this is just Li Fei's "working state", looking at the atmosphere at the moment, who knows what Li Fei thinks in his heart?

This store is said to be opened by Li Fei, but in fact, there are other people who take care of the store, and Li Fei is just investing.

Assistant Lin thought that when he came, he would only see a stupid Jian Hua waiting for the signing, how could Li Fei be in the mood to continue to sit here and chat? The Internet is almost crazy, Xiao Yaqin is still restless, the company is anxious, and is ready to hold a press conference tomorrow to confirm that Li Fei is fine.

"This is my assistant, Lin Xiao."

"Hello." Assistant Lin felt that his face hurt a little, and before he came, he also told his agent that Jian Hua's reputation was not very good, and he knew that this guy was very arrogant and couldn't be a man, and Li Fei was obviously two types of people, and Li Fei would still change his mind.

The agent is reluctant to ask for Jian Hua, precisely because Jian Hua has obvious appearance advantages, and it is not impossible for the circle to step on the original owner and then make his debut, there are so many actors who can be stand-ins, why bother with this.

The result - it really doesn't matter if you don't mention it, who let Li Fei be the one who has the final say.

Assistant Lin explained several key points of the contract as quickly as possible.

The exclusive stuntman is not the normal configuration of the company for the artist, this belongs to Li Fei's personal employment, and it is also nominally managed by Xingtian Entertainment Media, but Jian Hua's remuneration is paid by Li Fei, which is similar to the fitness teacher and life assistant hired by the artist alone.

Jian Hua didn't say that he had read it, so he took it and confirmed the terms, and signed it.

Then it was Li Fei's turn.

It stands to reason that the agent will sign on behalf of him, but now that the agent is not there, Li Fei stretched out his hand again, and Assistant Lin could only obediently hand over the pen.

The thin black pen smoothly drew out the handwriting on the white page, just above Jian Hua's modest name.

Among the green leaves of the vine with the mellow aroma of coffee, the sun was shining, and there was a contract in the middle of the table - Assistant Lin looked at the two of them with a strange expression, and for some reason, he always felt that something was wrong with this scene.

"Ten days later, I have a movie that will start filming in the northern capital, you go back and wait for the notice, and then we will go to the crew together." Li Fei stretched out his hand and showed his helplessness, "I still have to show my face in front of the public and solve the trouble." ”

The contract is in triplicate, and one more is to be filed with the company.

Assistant Lin took out the ink and knocked the seal, neatly put away the text, and said to Jian Hua: "The crew's confidentiality agreement will be signed when the time comes, and we have added someone here, and we have to say hello to the crew." ”

Of course, Jian Hua had no objection, so the three of them stood up and said goodbye.

Li Fei handed the entertainment magazine to Jian Hua and said meaningfully, "I gave it to you." ”

His gesture of holding the magazine was very strange, his fingers were between one of the pages, and Jian Hua could see a corner of the magazine's coloring book under the slender knuckles, which was the dim and barren background color of "The Crow".

Jian Hua's pupils contracted, and after taking the magazine, he didn't say anything more, turned around and left.

"This is also ......" Assistant Lin was surprised, under normal circumstances, not to say goodbye to seeing them drive away, at least say goodbye, and don't need money if you compliment.

Before he finished speaking, Lin Xiao glanced at Li Fei's gloomy eyes, and immediately swallowed all the words back.

That night, Li Fei and his entourage set off back to Haicheng, and when Assistant Lin was asleep and his bodyguard Geng Tian was driving on the highway, Li Fei suddenly asked:

"Geng Khotan, what if you have a crush on a person, and you find that that person actually likes the role you play?"

"Huh?" Geng Khotan was surprised, this Northeast man was full of innocence, "You ask me? ”

Li Fei glanced at him and sincerely apologized, "I'm sorry, I asked the wrong person." ”

Geng Khotan was silent and rolled his eyes in the rearview mirror.

The street lamp was reflected in the car, illuminating Li Fei's face uncertainly, he closed his eyes, and recalled the plot of the movie "Crow".

The protagonist, General Wu, is a general stationed at dangerous passes, heroic and extraordinary, and is deeply loved by the soldiers under his command.

The vassal king rebelled and sent his subordinates to plot to seize the city, but in the middle of the plan, an accident occurred - the bubonic plague suddenly broke out in the city, which is an important town on the western border, and if you master this place, Chen Bing is here, and you can separate the Central Plains from Shu.

If it doesn't work here, the vassal king's years of planning will be interrupted, and his ambition has been exposed, and he will be killed by the imperial court.

The strategists who swore allegiance to the vassal king, and the civil and military generals who wanted to catch the rebellion, fought wits and courage.

General Wu, whose friend is a doctor in the city, found that the plague had spread, but the city gate was closed because of the search, so he took the generals and protected the people who were willing to flee for their lives, and rushed out overnight.

The rebellion occupied the city, blockaded the neighborhood where the epidemic was prevalent, allowed the people to die, and in order to cover up the fact that the city had fallen, sent people to hunt down and kill the Ukrainian general.

The rebellious civil official wrote to the imperial court, saying that the Ukrainian general had abducted the people and defected to the desert steppe in the north, and might defect to the Xiongnu.

The two sides chased and killed, and the blood-stained armor was stained.

Desperate, he wanted to tell him about the plague, but no one believed him.

Eventually, the fleeing found a hidden valley and settled there.

The movie is a flashback mode, many years later, a group of little people who ran the rivers and lakes listened to the legend of the fierce ghost General Wu in the frontier, saying that General Wu was brave and fierce, and once led a hundred cavalry to kill thousands of officers and soldiers, and it was rumored that General Liwu's bizarre defection was to find a treasure in the grassland, so they followed the clues all the way to find it, encountered the wind and sand and lost their way, and came to the vicinity of the valley by mistake, and were rescued by the people in the valley.

As a result, there is no treasure, no murderous Ukrainian generals.

They hear a very different story, a tragic past.

In the valley, there was an old man who was missing a leg, who had been a personal guard of the Ukrainian general, and he asked about the situation outside.

The outsiders and the people in the valley bumped into the past of the year - half a month after the lockdown, heavy rain suddenly fell in Shudi, the plague was probably not controlled, and Xiongguan became a dead city. This happened after the Ukrainian general "treason", and the surviving soldiers who had chased and killed the Ukrainian general swore that this was cursed by the Ukrainian general, and he personally said that "the epidemic is epidemic, and everyone in the city will die."

The vassal king successfully usurped the throne, deliberately covered up this history, and chose another site to build a new city.

For decades, the frontier has been plagued by the legend of the Mighty Ghost Crow, who is believed to be the embodiment of the Crow and will bring calamity and plague when they see the dark crows perched on the branches.

***

"It was also a sandstorm day, the chasing soldiers caught up with us, General Wu took the rest of his brothers to break the queen, and the wounded soldiers went first with the people, but after the sandstorm stopped, the yellow sand covered up a qiē. We searched for hundreds of miles, but we never saw the general's body...... Or maybe he's long gone. ”

Jian Hua can memorize this line word for word.

He had watched the movie ten times, and the old man on the screen had tears of pain on his face full of ravines.

The camera is stretched out, shining on the desert outside the oasis valley, the wind and sand are all over the sky, and General Wu, who is holding a halberd and his broken armor, is covered in blood.

His sharp gaze suddenly softened, and he smiled at the valley, and walked lonely towards the blood-colored sunset, where crows roared behind him, and they all fluttered and landed on the dry poplar trees.

The camera slowly darkens, and the figure fades into nothingness.

As soon as the wind blows, there is no more zài, only the vast world, the world and the world.

Whenever the lights come on and the end credits appear, someone can be heard crying in the cinema.

When they walked out of the cinema, they broke away from the story, and Jian Hua never came out of the scene from the moment he joined the crew of "Crow" and saw Li Fei standing in front of the camera and entering the play.

Li Fei's acting skills are superb and superb, not only are the actors who play with him forced to show 200% of their abilities, but even the crew will have a sour nose because of a plot clip.

No one else can play General Ukraine better.

But Li Fei is not General Wu, every time the director shouts the card, Li Fei plays and talks and laughs with others, Jian Hua's heart is empty, as if he has lost something important.

This is why he was hesitant to sign a contract with Li Fei at first.

The actor is a good person, but he is obsessed with the role played by the actor.

- No, it's the role he had the opportunity to play with Li Fei.

Although he didn't appear much and was cut a lot, Jian Hua tried his best to act in every plot that needed a stand-in, just like Li Fei said, even if it wasn't a few seconds of the face, Jian Hua had a good grasp of the charm of the character, even if it had been so long, Li Fei was still impressed by this stuntman.

Of course, who doesn't know much about the "people" who occupy all their minds?

Jian Hua tore off the poster page of the magazine, pasted it on the head of the bed, and looked at it for a long time.
