Chapter 65: A Smile Falls for the City

The four little gangsters, that is, Ade (happy), Lao Bei (Sun Honglei), soap (Huang Bo), and Ah Tang (Liu Ye), are a little decadent but relatively decent, and the most transgressive thing is just playing cards and drinking and doing a profit. They are small people but do the things of big people, first they used all their strength and money to gamble with the fourth master, and then they didn't know whether to rob the neighbor's banknotes and drugs next door, and even the two antique guns in it almost succeeded.

Maybe you can't see the whole thing when filming, but Li Jiaxin also found funny scenes from the subtleties during the filming of her own scenes.

Four drug dealers came to rob with heavy machine guns, but they were strangely locked in the iron door and confronted the little botanists, Wu Zhenyu, who played the boss dog (dog), yelled: "You idiots don't hurry up and close the door to let the world see that we are robbing?" "There is no heroic and fearless temperament of the Hong Kong gangsters in the past, and the scene is super funny.

Nothing is weirder than her own character.

First, he was sat on his body by the thugs who went to the drug making den of the "botanists" for the first time, and then bounced up in fright, and the gentleman's company said: "I'm sorry I didn't see you here, I hope you are happy~~~" Then there was a robbery in the house, and there were many shootouts. From dizziness to the end, she finally woke up strangely for the first time, stood up suddenly, grabbed the heavy machine gun on the ground and fired indiscriminately and continuously in the house. The deafening roar of machine guns and the smell of gunpowder filled the room until the bullets were empty and her fingers were still pulling the trigger.

The stupidly frightened dog brother touched himself several times in a row to confirm that he was not shot, and then happily gestured to the cross, came to her angrily, and punched her down, "Where did this come from?" ”

β€œcut!”

β€œgood!”

This scene is completed, and Li Jiaxin knows that she is finished.

The scene is completely dispensable, but she stayed in the crew for three days before and after, and her role was actually filmed in only half a day. Even she didn't understand how she agreed to Jiang Zhiqiang to play this role. As May approaches, her film, "Flowers of the Sea" directed by Hou Hsiao-hsien, was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Cannes International Film Festival, and she will also go to Cannes, which is just a stop in life after all.

Farewell Li Jiaxin to Hong Kong that night, people have been here for so long, they haven't been entertained well, and they are quite happy not to go, "I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow." ”

Li Jiaxin was slightly surprised, "You want to invite me to dinner......

nodded happily and generously, "Yes, on behalf of the crew, I will make up for you, and by the way, I will tell you about the plot of the novel." "It seems to be a generous business, but I want to say a lot of reasons, and it is clear that there are no three hundred taels of silver here.

Li Jiaxin smiled playfully, and even agreed, "Okay, then I might as well be respectful." Is French food OK? ”

"You are the landlord, you can decide the location. I'll call you then. ”

Tomorrow happens to be the weekend, and the weather forecast also says that there will be Typhoon Signal No. 8 arriving, telling the public not to go out, and to take a day off to avoid the typhoon, and just have time to go to the appointment.

French cuisine is one of the world's most famous cuisines and has been recognized by all. The delicacy of its taste, the delicacy of its sauces, and the beauty of its tableware are an art. French cuisine is not only delicious, but there is also a wide variety of dishes and unique cooking methods. But there is a disadvantage, the amount is small and expensive.

Maybe it's still early, and the Western-style restaurant is sparsely populated.

Li Jiaxin obviously dressed up carefully before going out, and when she saw her exquisite makeup, she felt happy that she had waited for half an hour in vain. Seeing that Happy had a few knives, he cut the steak evenly, and was amazed, and asked, "Your knife skills are so good, do you usually eat Western food?" ”

"I don't eat it often."

Xingxing shook his head and said: "The knife work was practiced during Chinese food, but I rarely cook at home, and my grandfather does it all by himself, and his skills are too good." I don't have much preference for Western food, so I can only say that I don't reject it. Most of the time, filling your stomach is the first choice. You know, French food, the amount is too small. ”

He shrugged, "I'll help you, this plate for you." ”

He took Li Jiaxin's plate.

"Thank you."

Maybe it's still early, and the Western-style restaurant is sparsely populated.

A singer is singing a classic old song by the principal, "Love in Late Autumn". Although it is also a love song, it is a love song of breakup, and it is a terrible scenery.

"If you are destined to break up, you don't need to pretend to keep it for me, if love is eternal, how can you break up. In the future, let me lean on the late autumn, recall the lost love in my heart, recall the memory of me, today I have tears. Please look up and erase the old things, you don't have to have me, you don't have to, love is unacceptable, you are lovely forever, I really can't bear to let you go......"

"Do you come here often?" Happy to find the topic.

Li Jiaxin nodded and said, "Yes, this is a very famous, four-star restaurant." In particular, steak and foie gras are very famous. ”

"Then you have to taste it. You have also worked hard in the past few days, and you have helped me a lot, so I would like to give you a drink. ”

β€œcheers!” The two raised their glasses of red wine and touched their glasses.

Li Jiaxin took a sip and lowered her voice: "That singer sings so badly, there is usually a pianist playing the piano, but unfortunately he didn't come today." ”

"Don't be too picky." Happy also deliberately lowered his voice, a bit of a whisper, "It's a good atmosphere to have some music." Maybe we came too early and should have come over for dinner. ”

"It's okay." Li Jiaxin was quite positive, and said: "Typhoon Signal No. 8 is not too big, after lunch for a while, you just have time to go shopping, I guess you must not have been to Hong Kong to do a good shopping." ”

"Take me shopping? It won't be a random strong man. "You're really interested, you're not afraid of scandals." ”

"Are you afraid?" Li Jiaxin asked rhetorically.

"Wow, the agitation method." The happiness also went out, "Then I have to sacrifice my life to accompany the beauty." If you knew this, you should have gone out in a body armor, and I don't know if you will be sprayed to death by your fans on the way? ”

"No kidding." Li Jiaxin was amused and said with a smile: "How can I be so famous." Don't worry, make a disguise, the paparazzi are not so well-informed. By the way, what are some places you would like to visit in Hong Kong? ”

"Let's talk about it later." Happy picked up the champagne and poured it for Li Jiaxin. I don't know if it's to benchmark their attitude towards the West, but there are few young people in Hong Kong who drink liquor, basically red wine, beer and champagne, and some of them like whisky and brandy.

"Still drinking, you don't want to get me drunk right now, and then take me back to the hotel!" Li Jiaxin stared at him suspiciously.

Happy eyelids jumped, this woman looked quite quiet, why was she so bold, "Put your heart in your stomach, I'm a colored heart and no lustful guts." ”

Li Jiaxin, who came out as a model at the age of 14 to make money, has worked hard in the entertainment industry for so many years, and is definitely not as weak as she seems. Otherwise, after that chaotic golden age of Hong Kong, there would be no bones left that had been swallowed a long time ago. Although acting skills or something, they are always said to be vases, which is also because people are too beautiful. Happy admires her, not everyone can be a vase, and this vase is not brainless.

"I think you're pretty bold." Li Jiaxin choked deliberately.

Happy was a little overwhelmed, so he simply let it go, "Then will you give me a chance to be bold." ”

Li Jiaxin sneered, picked up the wine glass and took the initiative to touch it, "Drink your bar." ”

I didn't get an answer, so I didn't mention it anymore. The table was quiet for a while, and when it was embarrassing, the singer suddenly broke his voice, which attracted the attention of the audience. Li Jiaxin spread her hands happily, meaning: Look, I'm not wrong.

Happy whispered, "Look at me." ”

Stand up and walk to the piano.

"Hey, don't mess around." Li Jiaxin was worried about the uneasy whispering behind her back, and thought that she was going to teach the singer a lesson.

She thought too much, and after just discussing it, she sat down on the piano.

A crisp piano sound of "Ding Ding Dong" attracted the audience. happily sat in front of the piano and tried to play a few times, but it felt very rusty. After all, he is not a professional, and the instrument has only been learned in amateur courses. I tried playing "Two Tigers" again, and it was quite fun. I don't know if Hong Kong people have heard this song.

At first, the guests in the restaurant saw this handsome young man in a suit sitting in front of the piano, and thought that there would be a good show. Now listening to it is more like he is here to be amused, so he shakes his head and continues to eat himself. Fortunately, the environment of the western restaurant is good, and no one will cheer.

Li Jiaxin couldn't bear to look at her, lowered her head and drank as if she was afraid that others would notice her.

Fortunately, Happy did not want to continue playing "Two Tigers", and after finding the feeling, the music suddenly changed. Ten slender fingers trickle a series of notes across the keys, and familiar but unnamed music bursts out of the piano. This completely different and smooth music finally catches the eye of the customers in the restaurant.

After the prelude, all customers, including the waiter, saluted the piano. Li Jiaxin raised her head early and looked at the figure playing the piano with a surprised expression.

Everyone is a musician in life, and they are all interpreting their own stories, and at the same time, we enjoy the stories of others through the glass. We envy the happiness of others, but we often neglect our own happiness. This is the sadness of the spectator, happiness is close at hand, but it is forever separated by a layer of glass, we are lonely behind the glass to admire, record, but unable to integrate into it.

"Angel of Sorrow" is a Russian piano piece composed by Igor Krudoy in 1982.

I'm happy to remember this song, all thanks to the perfect MV I saw on the Internet in my previous life, which is almost all over the Internet: a man with a little vicissitudes of life and loneliness, shielding himself in an equally ordinary cafΓ© on an ordinary afternoon, leisurely tasting afternoon tea. The waiter slowly approached and handed him what he had asked for.

He began to think about it seriously, and his fingers twitched to the tune, telling us that the player of the song was no one else from the cafΓ©. At this moment, a young blonde girl walked by the window, looking around, anxiously waiting. Suddenly, a pair of big hands blindfolded the girl's eyes, and the person in anticipation finally appeared, and then he took out the prepared surprise from his arms, such a romantic and warm scene, so that the pianist in the window crossed the inspiration, jumped the notes, and started to pick up the pen.

The main theme slips out of the piano with a little excitement, and the picture extends the beauty of love. Perception catalyzes inspiration - not only music, but also life. A minor key subtly displaces the main theme. The music video is followed by a series of street scenes, scavengers, Labradors and grandmothers, the joy of innocent little girls, bright MM and thrilling street robberies, and the melodies echo the ups and downs of life in layers.

Happy piano skills are not perfect, but his performance is soulful and graceful enough. He is understanding and influencing others. It's like another life is being played out in music. The transmission of scenes and joys is shared, which belongs to the unique customs of the world. At least Li Jiaxin is caught up in music, her life is changeable, but she is not single, there are familiar stories everywhere, and the young girl is looking forward to it with a bouquet of flowers, which belongs to her youth and memory.

This world is to make angels sad, but it is difficult to leave because of love.

There is a word in English called agreeablemelancholy, which means pleasant sorrow. This is a beauty that belongs to solitude, a kind of happiness that is locked in a glass box.

That's probably what it means.

At the end of the song, the audience burst into warm applause. At this time, people found out that the lady sitting there was actually Li Jiaxin, and they were even more surprised. Do you want to sell a message to the newspaper?

Happy walked back to his seat amid applause, and as for whether the singer who sang out of tune would lose his job, he didn't care. Li Jiaxin's beautiful eyes widened and she kept looking at him.

"Why, I have flowers on my face."

"There are no flowers, there is a grain of rice."

Happy immediately touched his face, and only realized halfway through the touch, they were eating steak, where did the rice come from. The general said, "Hey...... It's a mole, and it's often used to being used to rice. ”

"Poof......" Li Jiaxin couldn't hold back her laughter.

"A smile is overwhelming. The piano was not played in vain. ”
