Urging Marriage (2)
"This is a golden beetle son-in-law, Xin Xin, you are too discerning." The aunt was as happy as if her own daughter had caught a golden beetle, "Your parents have worked too hard to cultivate you for so many years, and have paid too much, but now you can finally enjoy the blessings." ”
"Mom, how do you talk, it seems that my aunt is going to sell her daughter and sell it at a price." My cousin said what was in my heart, "Xin Xin definitely doesn't like other people's money." ”
"We are not people who hate the poor and love the rich." Dad also said, "I think what is commendable is that most of the children of rich families are squeamish and can't endure hardships, but when he studied abroad, he was able to rely on himself to work and study, get a doctorate, and find such a good job, which shows that he has real talent and learning, and is willing to bear hardships and stand hard work." ”
Dad's evaluation was very pertinent, and my mother nodded on the side and said, "There is really nothing to find fault with other people's conditions." But I'm very worried, marriage pays attention to the right family, our family is not right, if Xin Xin marries, will he be looked down upon and bullied by his family. ”
"How can you look down on yourself like this." Before I could say anything, my father retorted first, "We Xin Xin won the international gold medal and won glory for the country, and I still think that kid has climbed high." ”
I only felt warm in my heart, but I couldn't say a word, just stood there and smirked. All in all, my parents passed this level successfully, I don't know whether to be happy or worried, I caught the golden beetle son-in-law, and it will soon spread among the seven aunts and eight aunts in my hometown, and it will become a blockbuster news.
It's a headache to think about, and I can only sigh secretly in my heart.
Before leaving, Xiao Se offered to be responsible for arranging my parents' itinerary and various matters in Haicheng, and I had no doubt about his ability to curry favor with his elders, which can be seen from his attitude towards Senator Ye. So I was relieved to leave everything to him, and I could concentrate on the rest of the rehearsals.
As soon as I got in the car, Xiao Se couldn't wait to ask me: "How is it, are your parents satisfied with me?" ”
"Not satisfied. My dad said, too handsome men are unreliable, my mom thinks your family is too rich, I will be bullied if I marry, they don't agree with me being with you. "I deliberately chose the wrong one.
He exaggeratedly lamented: "It's not my fault that I'm too handsome, and it's none of my business if my family has money." I can't discredit myself and ask my dad to dissipate all his wealth. ”
I was secretly amused, and he put his hand on my waist and tickled me.
"Stop making a fuss and concentrate on driving." I dodged and shouted.
"It's a little punishment for you." He slowly took his hand away, "Such a clumsy lie can't fool me." ”
"Why is it a lie?" I asked knowingly.
"The two points you said are completely picking bones in eggs, which shows that your parents are very satisfied with me, and they can't find other faults." His self-confidence was inflated.
"Stinky beauty! Egomania! I laughed.
The next morning, as I passed by the newsstand, I bought several newspapers in one go, and without exception, all of them spoke highly of last night's performance. One of the authoritative cultural newspapers wrote: "
…… The fluttering white swan skirt made many viewers feel like they were in a dream. Tong Xin, who played the white swan Odetta and the black swan Ogillia in "Swan Lake" last night, and Zhuo Yichen, who played the role of Prince Siegfried, are the principal ballet stars of Haicheng Ballet and the winner of the international gold medal. The audience was amazed, watching "Swan Lake" was really a beautiful enjoyment......"
I looked at the newspaper, smiled quietly, and with a secret pleasure, flipped through the other pages of the newspaper, and the headline of a news item fell into my eyes: Performance artists speak out for feminism, art or pornography?
As soon as I read the title, I guessed that it was related to Zhao Junning, and sure enough, it was his masterpiece, but to my great surprise, Lan Jingyu was also involved. The main content of the performance art is that Zhao Junning made an iron cage similar to a human body sitting posture, Lan Jingyu entered the iron cage naked according to working hours, and went around the Haicheng Art District under the promotion of workers, and then the iron cage was moved into the city in a van, this performance art caused a huge sensation, and Lan Jingyu also became famous.
When asked about the theme of the performance, Zhao Junning rejected the term "performance show" proposed by reporters: "This is a performance art performance, not a 'show', what I want to express is my understanding of feminism." He described himself as a supporter of feminism, and the state of women's existence is a long-standing concern for him. The naked woman was locked up by an iron door, not a closed cage, and the opening and closing of the iron door was controlled by herself. In this way, I show that although the living space of women in modern cities is very oppressive, it is not without a way out, and many women are actually self-imprisoned. ”
Regarding the controversial "nude" method, Lan Jingyu said that it is indispensable, in order to express the concept of women's "body liberation". "Nude performances are a must, and freeing the body from the clothes means that women liberate their bodies and sexuality and no longer have a sense of dependence on men. Women's status, lifestyle, and even destiny are often expressed through the body.
Nudity is holy and full of life, and the cold iron cage is actually a shrunken city, hard, like the high masculinism and the so-called mainstream society. Nudity in an iron cage is a process of 'softness' versus 'hardness', just like the position of feminism now. Zhao Junning and I hope that more people can appreciate and think with the eyes of art, as long as it can stimulate their thinking about feminism and women's living conditions, our goal will be achieved. ”
Lan Jingyu said one thing at a time, I don't know if it was her own thoughts and feelings, or if Zhao Junning instilled it in her. It's so bizarre how those two people got together and collaborated on performance art, I couldn't help but sigh for Lan Jingyu, she still didn't give up, and she still longed for fame and fortune.
After experiencing the golf incident, I probably felt that men were unreliable, so I turned to performance art to become famous and hype. The report is accompanied by the opinion of a university professor and a well-known art critic, who believes that such performance art does not violate the law and exceeds morality, and should be viewed with a tolerant attitude. I agree with this point of view, although Lan Jingyu still relies on her body to gain fame and fortune, at least she doesn't seduce a married man anymore and sell her body, which can be regarded as an improvement.
I arrived at the rehearsal hall early and saw Zhuo Yichen standing in front of the window in a daze. He always warmed up as soon as he entered the rehearsal hall, and this kind of daze was really abnormal. I walked over and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
He was silent, and I asked again before he came to his senses. "You've been ...... lately Have you been in contact with Lan Jingyu? ”
I was stunned for a moment, why did he suddenly ask Lan Jingyu to come. "Haven't been contacted, but just saw ...... in the newspaper"
"What kind of nude performance art is it?" He interrupted me irritably.
"You know everything?" I looked at him, wondering if he still had some old feelings for Lan Jingyu.
"I just read the newspaper, and I really can't understand why she is so willing to fall like this. Can't you just do something serious and live honestly? He gritted his teeth, the muscles of his face twisting.
I was a little surprised. "You still care about her, don't you?"
"How can I care about that kind of shameless woman, I'm." His expression was gloomy and excited, "She called me at 11 o'clock last night, just to humiliate me on purpose, so that I could hear her and Zhao Junning's voice in bed." ”
I was stunned and asked, "She hasn't called you before, why did she do that last night?" ”
"I don't know what she means!" He roared in a low, dumb voice, "I haven't been in touch for so many years, as soon as I answered the phone, it was that kind of voice that came out, and she still shouted Zhao Junning's name, which was unbearable!" ”
"In addition to calling Zhao Junning's name, did she say anything?" I don't think this is right, Lan Jingyu said that Zhuo Yichen is the only man she has ever loved, she should want to leave a good memory for the other party, how could she deliberately call and let her loved one hear that unbearable voice. What's more, they haven't been in touch for many years, and such a sudden move may be due to a reason.
"She said to Zhao Junning, are you trying to kill me, Zhao Junning responded very proudly, yes, let you die happily......" He couldn't go on, and his face turned blue.
I was seized by an uneasy emotion. "Isn't it ...... Zhao Junning really wanted to kill her, she called you for help? ”
"No way, she didn't talk to me at all, and the phone hung up quickly." He was stunned for a moment before saying, "By the way, she seems to have screamed for help." ”
"Zhao Junning is by her side, if she secretly asks for help, how can she talk to you." I think he's so confused that he's lost the ability to think, "I'll give her a call and see what's going on." ”
I speed dialed and heard a cold female voice: "I'm sorry, the phone you are calling is off." ”
My uneasiness increased, but the rehearsal began immediately, and we could no longer take care of Lan Jingyu's affairs. Until the end of the evening performance, Lan Jingyu's was still turned off, I gave Zhao Junning's number to Zhuo Yichen, and asked him to call Zhao Junning tentatively, pretending to find Lan Jingyu in an emergency, but her shutdown, seeing the newspaper report that they cooperated in performing performance art, wanted to ask Zhao Junning if there was any other contact information for Lan Jingyu.
Zhao Junning shirked it completely, saying that he separated from Lan Jingyu after the event yesterday afternoon, and he had not contacted him since. His statement is even more suspicious, if they had separated yesterday afternoon, then what happened to that phone call at 11 o'clock last night?
