Chapter XXXVII: New Year 1999
Time passed little by little, and the relationship between Gu Bei and "My Father and Mother" also came to an end temporarily, and then it was necessary to wait for the release of the film to be agreed, and cooperate with the publicity and roadshow.
However, the release of "My Father and Mother" is a matter of the year later, before that, Gu Bei ushered in another Spring Festival in Beiping, Gu Bei also went to the old man's house again, Gu Bei seems to be a little used to this feeling, running to the old man's house at two ends in three days, Gu Bei himself will feel a lot more at ease, and the restlessness and restlessness of youth will be a lot less.
"What are you doing, scoundrel?"
Seeing Master Liu, who was dressed beautifully, appear in front of him, Gu Bei smiled slightly and said, "I was about to call my friends to say a New Year's greeting." ”
"Oh......" Master Liu thought for a moment and then said, "I'm going to call my friend too." ”
Looking at the back of Master Liu leaving, Gu Bei was a little surprised, he didn't hear that Master Liu had friends who had a good time, but Gu Bei was surprised for a while.
It's a good thing that Master Liu has friends, usually Master Liu doesn't have time, he has endured a lot of hardships to practice dance, and he doesn't have time to get along with friends.
"Hey, Brother Jiayi, it's me!"
"Xiaobei, have you bought a new phone?" Zhang Jiayi was also very happy when he heard Gu Bei's voice.
Gu Bei also smiled and said, "The third-hand mobile phone I bought is only 1,000 yuan, and the new mobile phone is 10,000 or 20,000 at every turn, and I can't afford it now." ”
"It's coming soon, our big stars Gu have already cooperated with Zhang Yimou, isn't the salary going up?"
"Brother Jiayi, do you know?"
"What is written in the newspaper may have been dug up by media reporters, or it may have been warmed up in advance by the new picture company for publicity, but you kid is completely mixed up, and I want to congratulate you." Zhang Jiayi congratulated Gu Bei.
Hearing this, Gu Bei couldn't help biting his lip, because Gu Bei heard a trace of loneliness from Zhang Jiayi's voice, too, Zhang Jiayi has graduated for many years, and in the end, it is not as good as Gu Bei who has just entered the industry, not to mention that Gu Bei is still led by Zhang Jiayi.
Thinking about this, Zhang Jiayi was naturally a little indignant, it was all human nature.
Zhang Jiayi's appearance can be said to be handsome, but he is not handsome, and his figure is not particularly outstanding, resulting in no opportunities as Gu Beiduo, but his acting skills and abilities are indeed online.
Gu Bei didn't think about comforting Zhang Jiayi, they were all big men, and it seemed hypocritical to talk too much, but Gu Bei kept an eye in his heart and had the opportunity to introduce some resources to Zhang Jiayi.
After paying homage to Zhang Jiayi for a year, Gu Bei called his old friends in turn, Deng Chao, Liu Ye, Qin Hailu, Wang Xuebing, Liao Fan, Xu Jinglei, Zhang Yimou, Zhai Ru, Shi Rong, Zhang Baibai, Xiong Zhengyu, Fatzi, Qu Yang, Tan Zhuo, Xiaoke......
In the end, Gu Bei's gaze was fixed on a more familiar name on the phone book, and after more than ten minutes of silence, Gu Bei pressed the number in a complicated mood.
"Hey, who are you looking for?"
"Hey, talk! No sound? Hey, this broken phone can't break, right? ”
Gu Bei heard the middle-aged male voice on the other side of the phone, was silent for a moment, and said, "Hello, I'll look for Liang Xin of the old Liang family." ”
"Oh! I thought the phone was broken, the little girl of the Liang family, okay, I'll go and say it, and I'll call you back in a while. ”
The phone was left to Gu Bei when Liang Xin first arrived at the crew, and it was the phone number of a commissary in the village, and he was also a relative of Liang Xin, so he left such a phone number......
"Master, this is my phone number from my house, remember to call me during the Chinese New Year and say 'Happy New Year'!"
The ringing of the phone "Toot Toot ......" interrupted Gu Bei's thoughts.
"Hey, hello, may I ask who you are?"
When Gu Bei heard the voice on the other side of the phone, he felt extremely familiar, but Gu Bei, who had always been able to speak well, opened his mouth and didn't say a word for a long time.
"Master?" Liang Xin suddenly realized something and wondered, "You are a master?" Right? ”
With a mixed sigh, Gu Bei opened his mouth and said, "It's me, Liang Xin, how are you doing lately?" Did you work well on the set? ”
"Me? I'm so good! But I'm not in the crew now, and Boss Tan broke up the crew. ”
"Scattered? Why is it scattered? Gu Bei frowned, not long ago, when Gu Bei called Tan Zhuo and Xiong Zhengyu, he hadn't heard of this at all.
"After you left, many people left one after another, and our crew hadn't filmed good works for several years before, so there were fewer and fewer contacts with Tan Zhuo's boss of the land, and besides, Tan Boss was in his fifties, he wanted to rest, and I heard that he had opened a supermarket in the center of his hometown, the location was very good, and the business was good."
Hearing Liang Xindi's explanation, Gu Bei was silent for a long time, a little difficult to accept, as if he was inexplicably missing a piece in his heart, Gu Bei had been in Tan Zhuo's crew for three years, and it was inevitable that he would have some sense of belonging, but now it was disbanded, and Gu Bei's heart became empty.
"Master? Are you still there? ”
"In!" Gu Bei responded and asked, "When did the crew disband?" ”
"Last fall, you've only been gone for four or five months."
"Autumn...... It's a good season to leave. Gu Bei muttered, shook his head self-deprecatingly, put aside these philistine thoughts, and said, "Then what are you doing now?" ”
"I'm learning to drive a bus, our county will be able to drive a bus next year, my uncle said hello, as long as I can get a driver's license, he will give me one of the positions, the salary is not as high as when I was in the crew, but I heard that the company gives insurance, and there are four days of vacation every month, which is much easier than when I was in the crew."
Liang Xin said that he was very happy, maybe because Gu Bei called, or maybe he was really happy and his life was going well. Gu Bei also listened very happily and seriously.
"Master, I have another good news to tell you, my rhubarb has cubs, and there are three cuties, but it is enough for me to raise a caretaker at home, by the way, master, do you want it? Why don't you take one back and raise it? ”
"Okay!" The corners of Gu Bei's mouth rose slightly, and he asked casually, "Do you know what kind of dog it is?" ”
"I don't know, it's the ...... of the local dog in the countryside" Liang Xin's originally elated mood suddenly fell, and his voice was much lower, "I forgot that the master is now a big star, and it is not suitable to raise a local dog, and it will lose face." ”
Hearing this, Gu Bei felt in his heart, for no reason, and hurriedly explained: "No! I didn't mean that! ”
Liang Xin ignored Gu Bei's explanation, but suddenly asked: "Master, you said that if I went to Beiping with you at that time, how good would it be?" ”
Gu Bei was stunned, because Gu Bei hadn't thought about this problem either, maybe he didn't dare to think about it, because it hurt when he thought about it.
Liang Xin waited for two seconds, and when he saw that Gu Bei didn't speak, he let out a laugh like a bird's chirping, and said: "Master, I'm getting married, it's the son of the uncle who helped me introduce the job, he doesn't look as handsome as the master, but he is very honest, my parents said, I will look for this kind of life." ”
"Yes, you're getting married?" Gu Bei bit his lip lightly and asked, "When, I'll come to drink the wedding wine." ”
"As for the local banquet in the countryside, don't come, I'm afraid of the paparazzi, and I'm afraid that I can't help crying...... Toot Toot ......"
Liang Xin, who was crying, hung up the phone, Gu Bei lay on the sofa, staring at the ceiling, looking very carefully, as if he wanted to see a hole in the ceiling......
