When it is dark, the yard becomes lively, and every family has already gotten up to go to school and go to work.

The children's complaints and the urging of the parents still sound from time to time the pampering reproaches of the uncles and aunts.

Chen Li'an was lying on the bed looking at the ceiling, he was the only one in the room, Bai Qing had already left, and he left a deep tooth mark on Chen Li'an's wrist before leaving.

After a long time, Chen Li'an sighed faintly, covered the quilt, turned over, and continued to pretend to be dead.

It wasn't until after one o'clock in the afternoon that Chen Li'an lifted the quilt and rubbed the red scratches on his back before getting up from the bed.

The yard was quiet in the afternoon, Chen Li'an squatted in the yard to brush his teeth, looked at the bare ginkgo branches, and thought of the one in Cheng Meiren's yard.

I don't know if her commercial performance has ended and how much money she has earned, but no matter how much she has, she can't compare to herself, and her account has been triple leveraged by Mr. Tang, and she will be able to make a few million dollars by the end of the month.

In terms of the business environment in the mainland, even the price of the most popular star in a commercial performance will definitely not exceed 200,000, and it is impossible for Cheng Meiren to win against herself.

Chen Li'an spit out the toothpaste foam in his mouth, wiped the corners of his mouth, ran into the house, took out the phone and called Zhang Guorong.

"What? Playing mahjong? As soon as the phone was connected, before Chen Li'an could speak, Zhang Guorong quickly asked Chen Li'an to hurry up and play mahjong.

Chen Li'an really admired Zhang Guorong's card addiction, so he hung up the phone helplessly, simply cleaned up, and hurried to the appointment.

It was the same people who played mahjong, and Chen Li'an asked Zhang Guorong about his account while playing cards.

"Did Mr. Tang say how the situation is in the past two days?" Chen Li'an asked one by one.

Zhang Guorong rubbed the cards in his hand, and said without raising his head: "I don't know if he didn't say it, don't worry, there will be no problems." ”

After rubbing it carefully a few times, Zhang Guorong played the cards he had just drawn out with some loss, and he was still chanting mahjong formulas in his mouth.

"Eighty thousand!"

"Huh!"

Wang Zuxian and Chen Li'an pushed down the cards in front of them at the same time, and a double shot of 80,000 shots.

Zhang Guorong was so angry that he pushed the cards in his hand and shouted playfully: "Don't play!" ”

"Then you have to pay first!"

"No money!"

"Isn't it a fool again, I won't play mahjong with you in the future if you are like this!"

"I won't play cards with you in the future." Wang Zuxian also echoed, how could he easily let go of Zhang Guorong.

Zhang Guorong snorted twice sadly and angrily, and could only honestly pay for it.

Gong Li watched from the sidelines, and couldn't stop laughing, I really couldn't understand Zhang Guorong's card skills were so bad, why he was still so addicted to cards.

"Gong Li, you can still laugh, it's okay for you to lose money." Zhang Guorong said angrily.

Chen Li'an put the money away and interjected: "People don't cheat." ”

Zhang Guorong: "." Boring! Never play mahjong tomorrow!

What can you do if you don't play mahjong, Chen Li'an can't resist Wang Zuxian, who can't be idle, so he can only take her to fulfill her wish to climb the Great Wall.

Climbing the Great Wall in winter is not a good time, even if the sun is shining, it will be cold when the cold wind blows on your body.

Chen Li'an took Wang Zuxian's hand, looked at her panting and stopped, and said, "Rest for a while, we should come over in spring or autumn." ”

"That's right, I'm hot and cold right now, and I'm almost exhausted." Zhang Guorong, who followed behind, leaned against the city wall weakly, regretting his action of joining in the fun today.

How nice it is to sleep comfortably at home.

Wang Zuxian's little face flushed, and she gasped slightly: "I don't know when I will come next time, I must climb up today!" ”

"Okay, let's take a break and we'll continue." Chen Li'an had good physical strength and did not feel very tired.

After resting for a few minutes, Wang Zuxian regained a lot of strength, looked at the high platform in front of him and shouted, "Let's go!" ”

As he spoke, he stepped over the steps with his long legs and continued to climb, Chen Li'an glanced back at Zhang Guorong and asked, "Okay, no, you just wait here." ”

"Who can't say it!" Zhang Guorong immediately stood up and trotted after him.

There are not many people on the Great Wall in winter, only a few foreign tourists, Wang Zuxian and Zhang Guorong did not disguise, and they were recognized several times on the road and took a few photos.

Chen Li'an, a marginal person in the entertainment industry, is naturally unknown, and is regarded as an assistant by tourists and also used as a photographer, and after taking photos of them, he also left the address of the tourists, saying that he would wash it and send it to them.

"I can't see you're quite sweet." Zhang Guorong looked at Chen Li'an, who had written down the address, and teased.

Chen Li'an pursed his lips and said, "Who made me your assistant, I can't embarrass you." ”

"It's my assistant!" Wang Zuxian took Chen Li'an's hand next to him and emphasized.

"Yours yours, I won't rob you!" Zhang Guorong was extremely disgusted, but he still added a sentence viciously: "But someone is robbing you, there are still several!" ”

"Brother!" Wang Zuxian was so angry that she had a toothache, and she stomped her foot to hit Zhang Guorong.

Zhang Guorong immediately screamed and fled, and the two of them were playing around on the Great Wall like children, and they were moving much faster.

Half an hour later, at the highest point of the Badaling Great Wall, Wang Zuxian stood on the platform and looked at the mountains and rivers in the distance, only feeling that all the emotions in his heart had been released, and he couldn't help shouting loudly to the mountains in the distance: "Ah"

Looking at Wang Zuxian who opened his arms and shouted, Zhang Guorong leaned against the wall and panted and couldn't help shouting.

Chen Li'an stood next to him and filmed this scene, although he was tired of climbing the Great Wall, the sense of accomplishment after climbing up was still greater than his exhaustion.

Wang Zuxian shouted for a while, held the wall with both hands and gasped, looked back at Chen Li'an and smiled, and gestured with a scissor hand.

Click

Chen Li'an immediately raised his camera and took a picture, after knowing her for so many days, it was the first time to see her smiling so happily, and her lively and youthful appearance was very infectious.

Zhang Guorong leaned against the wall, looking at Wang Zuxian with a bright smile, and couldn't help but smile, he originally had an opinion on Chen Li'an's restless hookup, but now it has disappeared.

The most important thing in being a man is to be happy, since Wang Zuxian and Chen Li'an are happy together, why do they care so much, everyone has their own life.

No one is a savior, and he can't save everyone.

Zhang Guorong didn't want to be a savior, but Chen Li'an kept thinking about whether he could be a savior.

"You have to be kind to Zu Xian in the future, don't make her sad anymore." Zhang Guorong stood next to Chen Li'an and looked into the distance, wisps of green smoke wafting from the cigarette on his fingers.

Chen Li'an turned his head to look at Wang Zuxian, who was chatting with fans in the distance, and then nodded: "I try my best, but I can't"

"I know, you don't have to explain." Leslie Cheung interrupted Chen Li'an's words, smoked a cigarette and said: "Although you are not a good man, you are quite frank and will not promise anything, so don't give people hope to hurt others in the end." ”

Chen Li'an was silent for a while, not knowing what to say, only felt a slight tingling pain in his wrist, and the tooth mark left by Bai Qing had not disappeared.

There are times when a lot of things are out of his control.

After the three of them came down from the Great Wall in the afternoon, they were so tired that they didn't want to talk anymore, and Wang Zuxian leaned on Chen Li'an's shoulder in the car back, tired and fell asleep.

Zhang Guorong, who was sitting in the front row, glanced back, and then said, "I'm ready to go back to Xiangjiang, Zu Xian should go back with me." ”

Chen Li'an asked suspiciously: "Why do you want to go back suddenly, didn't Mr. Tang say that he would come before Christmas?" ”

"The company has a temporary job, and the vacation is going to end early." Zhang Guorong said helplessly.

During this time, he played with Zhang Guorong and them every day, and Chen Li'an was still a little unaccustomed to being separated suddenly, so he asked, "When are you leaving?" ”

"The plane the morning after tomorrow." Zhang Guorong replied with a smile and said, "I'll help you look at your account after I go back." ”

Chen Li'an shook his head and said, "That's not important, I'll send it to you the day after tomorrow." ”

"No, it's not gone." Zhang Guorong said indifferently, then glanced at Wang Zuxian, who was asleep, and said, "Let's accompany Zuxian tomorrow." ”

Chen Li'an nodded, turned his head to look at Wang Zuxian's slightly moving eyelids, raised his hand and stroked her head to make her sleep more comfortably.

In the alley of Houhai, Chen Li'an was holding a bunch of half-eaten snacks in his hand, a sugar gourd that he only took a bite of, half of the pink marshmallow left, and a stupid cute candy man who was missing a corner.

Wang Zuxian wanted to buy everything when she saw it, but she would only taste it and throw it all to Chen Li'an.

"Why don't you eat it? Do you think I'm buying too much? Wang Zuxian put her arm around Chen Li'an and asked.

"I don't like sweets." Chen Li'an looked at the pile of sweets in his hand a little helplessly, but still bit down on a sugar gourd.

Food can't be wasted!

Wang Zuxian squinted at Chen Li'an's frowning and eating, and couldn't help but buy a lot of things, just wanted to see Chen Li'an's reluctance or willingness to tolerate himself.

"I'll be leaving tomorrow, will you miss me?" When it was approaching evening, Wang Zuxian looked at Chen Li'an and suddenly asked.

Chen Li'an looked at the little sugar stain on the corner of Wang Zuxian's mouth, raised his hand and wiped it lightly and said, "Yes, I will see you next year." ”

"When?" Wang Zuxian's eyes immediately lit up.

"It's over the New Year, but it won't stay too long."

"Then you have to accompany me well, and you are not allowed to play mahjong with your brother!"

"Okay, but I'm afraid he'll be coquettish again."

"Ignore him!"

The two walked in the alley, and the sunset stretched their shadows very long and leaned close together, and they did not separate until nightfall.

Early the next morning, Chen Li'an sat at the breakfast stall eating fried dough sticks, looked up at the long white mark left by the plane flying in the blue sky, and lowered his head and continued to eat his breakfast.

Life is like this, and it is the norm to divide and merge, and the white marks in the sky will slowly dissipate with time.

At the National Art Museum of China, Chen Li'an received a notice from the jury of the National Art Exhibition several days later, asking him to listen to the results of his selection for the Venice Biennale.

Chen Li'an didn't have too many expectations for the selection results of the jury, he didn't go to the relationship at all in the past few days, and the possibility of selection was very small.

The Venice Biennale is the most valuable of the three major exhibitions in the art world, and I don't know how many people want to participate.

Don't think that artists don't eat the fire of the world and are indifferent to fame and fortune, how can everyone be human without seven emotions and six desires.

Chen Li'an sat opposite Yang Lizhou, director of the Old Acquaintance Art Museum, and asked curiously, "Didn't you participate in the selection?" ”

"It's boring, you look like you're confident." Yang Lizhou didn't explain what was boring, but he was very curious about Chen Li'an's indifference, and guessed whether he knew the result in advance.

Chen Li'an shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm confident, it's that I know that I have no hope." ”

Yang Lizhou looked at Chen Li'an's eyes, and after a while, he said a few words of encouragement: "You are only twenty years old, it is good to be able to maintain this purity, but you must also maintain it in the future, fame and fortune are important, but not to lose your heart is the most important." ”

Chen Li'an nodded, he had a good impression of Yang Lizhou, when he was found at the film festival, he just looked at Chen Li'an's works and responded to it, and also helped run the procedures.

However, the money that should be spent is still a lot of money, and I asked Chen Li'an to ask for it, Yang Lizhou is a person who has a clear distinction between public and private.

"Do you have any new creative ideas lately? Your last work was really good, and it was more meaningful than your oil painting this time. Yang Lizhou glanced at the people who had not yet arrived, and continued to chat with Chen Li'an.

Chen Li'an took a Zhongnanhai and handed it over and said, "Yes, I'm doing it." ”

"Well, that's good, the most important thing is to have a strong creative desire." Yang Lizhou took the cigarette and said self-deprecatingly: "When you reach my age, you will know how difficult it is to make a good work, and many people will only have to sell their fame and reputation at this age." ”

Chen Li'an lit a cigarette and didn't reply, this kind of thing is the norm, and Chen Li'an doesn't dare to guarantee that he will become an old stubborn eater when he gets old.

After the two chatted for a while, the judges came over without hurry, and Yang Lizhou turned his head and said to Chen Li'an: "Do you want to know the result?" ”

Chen Li'an was stunned for a moment and asked, "You know?" ”

"Of course I know, this is my place."

"Then why didn't you just say that?"

"Forget it."

“.”

After a while, Chen Li'an, who listened to the judges who were chattering about the speech, couldn't help but turn his head to look at Yang Lizhou and asked, "You better tell me first, these people are too slow to speak, if I don't choose me, I will withdraw first." ”

"Haha, I'm still young, I can't hold my breath." Yang Lizhou laughed for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "Originally, there was no yours, but your name was added when the list was handed in." ”

Chen Li'an frowned and asked uncertainly, "Did you help me?" ”

"It has nothing to do with me, I didn't participate in the selection, I can't say anything." After Yang Lizhou explained, he said with emotion: "If I didn't know that you don't have any background, I would have doubted whether you came out of a compound." ”

Chen Li'an said speechlessly: "Which big courtyard disciple has no way to hold a film festival." ”

Yang Lizhou laughed, patted Chen Li'an on the shoulder and said, "No matter what, it's a good thing to be selected." ”

Chen Li'an nodded, but he was thinking about why his name was added, and the position of the person who can meddle in this kind of thing must not be low.

He is a poor boy in a miscellaneous yard, and he doesn't know any big people.

After thinking about it for a long time, I can only think that someone appreciates me, well. As long as this one is explained, maybe his film festival is in line with the above leaders' intentions to rectify the health care product industry and is remembered.

Regarding Chen Li'an's speculation, Yang Lizhou also agrees with it, and thinks that this possibility is relatively large, and the above may want to take Chen Li'an, an artist who does not make trouble, is not crazy, and cares about the society as a typical example.

Chen Li'an is always much stronger than the people in the East Village and the Old Summer Palace.

Chen Li'an, who knew the result in advance, didn't have the heart to continue to listen to those clichés, and stood in the corner chatting with Yang Lizhou, until he finally called his name, and then went up and said a few words.

More than half an hour later, Chen Li'an came out of the National Art Museum of China, saw that it was not early, and turned his head to Xinjiekou.

Zhou Gongzi called him several times to ask him, but Chen Li'an didn't have time, and now he has to go and see when he is free.

In a bar in Xinjiekou, Chen Li'an ordered a glass of beer, sat down and looked at Zhou Gongzi who was singing on stage, and couldn't help but hum a few words.

Zhou Gongzi, whose voice has not changed to smoke, is still very good at singing, and he is also very energetic on the stage, although he is small, he is very explosive.

Chen Li'an listened for a while, called the waiter, and sent a flower basket up.

A hundred yuan for a small flower basket is quite expensive, I don't know how much Zhou Gongzi can get.

Zhou Gongzi on the stage received the flower basket, saw Chen Li'an under the prompting of the waiter, and immediately stood up and waved at him, if it weren't for the next two songs, it is estimated that she would have run down.

After singing two more songs, Zhou Gongzi immediately put down the microphone and ran down, ran to Chen Li'an, put his arms around his neck and said happily, "You finally came to see me." ”

"I'm sorry, I've been too busy lately." Chen Li'an wrapped his arms around Zhou Gongzi's waist and said apologetically.

Zhou Gongzi looked at Chen Li'an's eyes, shook his head and said, "I know you're busy, it's okay." ”

"I thought you'd be angry." Chen Li'an pinched Zhou Gongzi's chin and asked, "Do you want to go on stage later?" ”

Zhou Gongzi understood what Chen Li'an meant, and immediately said: "There is no song of mine in the back, you wait for me to talk to the boss." ”

"Well, go ahead, I'll wait for you here."

"I'll be right back." Zhou Gongzi let go of Chen Li'an and quickly ran towards the backstage.

Looking at Zhou Gongzi's bouncing back, Chen Li'an glanced around the messy environment and couldn't help frowning.

A naturally good actor, singing in a bar is all about it, you have to find a way to help her.

After a while, Zhou Gongzi ran back quickly, hugged Chen Li'an's arm and said happily: "Let's go, I invite you to have supper, with the money you just sent the flower basket!" ”

"Borrowing flowers to offer Buddha?" Chen Li'an smiled and scratched Zhou Gongzi's small nose, and then asked, "Do you like singing or acting?" ”

Zhou Gongzi didn't expect Chen Li'an to suddenly ask this question, thought for a while and said: "I like acting, but no crew is willing to ask me." ”

"If you like acting, you won't sing much after that, and you'll never have a chance here."

"But I want to make money, otherwise you will support me?" Zhou Gongzi said and turned his head to look at Chen Li'an, hoping to hear those three words.

Chen Li'an felt like he was being pushed into a corner.

Damn it! Why did the topic suddenly go astray!

10,000 words more! It's a little late, don't mind ha.
