In the evening, the building is particularly noisy, and people returning home from work chat and greet in the corridor.

At the end of the corridor of the building, the communal kitchen wafts a rich aroma, and the dishes of each family mix together to form a unique smoke and fire.

The naughty child washed his hands and ate at the urging of his parents, and the husband, who had just gotten off work, carried fruit to share with the neighbors.

Everything here is so happy and healthy, although they are not rich, but they have their own little world in this city.

Chen Li'an looked at the ticket in his hand, his fingers were clenched very tightly, and the backpack at his feet was lying there crookedly.

Bang. The guitar leaning against the wall suddenly fell down, and it happened to fall into Chen Li'an's hand to block the train ticket.

Chen Li'an looked at the guitar silently, thinking of the girl who left without listening to her singing, suddenly held the ticket in her hand and threw it on the ground, carried the guitar on her back through the lively corridor full of fireworks, and stepped into the night.

On the street in front of the bar, young people strolled down the street in pairs, chatting about their interesting stories, laughing happily and wantonly, and their steps were brisk and full of energy.

Chen Li'an pulled the zipper of his jacket up, looked at the bar that had just opened, walked in and took a look, and looked around and didn't find the figure from yesterday.

So he silently retreated again, walked to the position he had yesterday, leaned against the mouth of the dark alley, and waited silently.

The neon sign of the bar flashed a few times and suddenly went out, and the light and shadow on Chen Li'an's face disappeared, his whole face was hidden in the darkness, and his eyes looked at the colorful world outside.

Chen Li'an's fingers fumbled in his pocket for a long time, took out the crumpled cigarette case, and took out a crooked cigarette that was still pressed from it and put it to his mouth.

The hissing yellow flames suddenly came out and lit the cigarette butt, which also illuminated Chen Li'an's face, and a girl in a red dress suddenly appeared, walking quickly across the alley, her steps were a little hurried and boring, and the corners of the red dress swirled and disappeared in front of Chen Li'an.

The figure who left in a hurry didn't seem to see this down-and-out man hiding at the mouth of the alley.

Chen Li'an looked at the cigarette in his hand and smoked slowly, waiting until the band in the bar stopped singing, and then walked into the bar with his guitar on his back.

On the stage, the members of Team Yu were all packing up their things and preparing to leave the stage, only Xu Qing was still standing there looking at the door of the bar, and when Chen Li'an pushed open the door and came in, a smile appeared on her face and beckoned to Chen Li'an. Xu Qing turned his head to the team member and asked, "My friend is here, can you do me a favor?" In the evening, I would like you to have a supper. ”

The band's drummer couldn't help but joke: "Do you like him, but he sings so-so." ”

"Help." Xu Qing folded his hands and pleaded.

At this time, Chen Li'an had already walked to the stage, and before he could open his mouth, Xu Qing said to him: "Come on, I'm waiting for you." ”

The rest of the band looked at each other at this scene and shrugged their shoulders, all helplessly reready.

Chen Li'an walked up and said thank you, then took off his guitar and tuned it.

"Brother, what are you singing tonight?" The drummer asked from behind.

Chen Li'an turned to look at him and said, "Norwegian forests." ”

"It's this one again, can't you change it?" The drummer complained, and under Xu Qing's eyes, he didn't know what he muttered and stopped talking.

Chen Li'an glanced at Xu Qing gratefully, then turned to look at the girl in the red dress sitting at the bar, she ordered a colorful cocktail tonight, but she still had it at hand and didn't drink it.

Chen Li'an glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze, gently plucked the guitar, and sang the song Norwegian Forest.

Tonight's singing is no different from yesterday, the atmosphere in the bar is still the same as yesterday, no one cares about Chen Li'an's singing, a man wearing glasses glanced at it and withdrew his gaze, it seems that Chen Li'an is not as attractive as the cheap beer in front of him.

The girl in the red dress just sat there quietly, as if she was in a daze, and as if she was listening to Chen Li'an's singing.

When Chen Li'an turned his head to look at the bar after the song was finished, the girl disappeared again, the cocktail was taken back by the bartender, and the water stains on the countertop were wiped clean, as if it had never appeared.

Chen Li'an watched it silently for a while, and was about to get off the stage, a waiter came over with a small flower basket, and said to Chen Li'an: "Someone sent a flower basket, saying that you sing well, but you are not the resident singer of our bar, and there is no commission for you, do you want this flower basket?" ”

Chen Li'an just wanted to ask who sent it, and Xu Qing next to him said happily: "Someone sent you a flower basket?" I'll just say you're singing well! ”

Chen Li'an's words were interrupted by Xu Qing like this, and he didn't have the courage to ask, so he just took the flower basket and said thank you.

Xu Qing happily looked at Chen Li'an and said, "Let's have supper together at night, I'll treat you." ”

Chen Li'an shook his head with the flower basket and said to Xu Qing: "Thank you, I won't go, next time. I'll treat you to dinner next time I have a chance. ”

In Xu Qing's disappointed eyes, Chen Li'an walked away with a guitar and a small flower basket.

Tonight, there was a touch of color in that dim and damp little room, like a different color in Chen Li'an's gray life.

Huo Jianqi in front of the monitor re-read all the materials, then turned his head to look at Su Xiaodao: "Wife, your script is really well written!" Li'an is also good! ”

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Of course! You're good at it! ”

Chen Li'an sat next to him and listened to the husband and wife praising each other, he really couldn't listen to it, and silently turned around and went to the bar counter of the bar to get a bottle of beer.

He Qing and Xu Qing were sitting together and chatting at this time, He Qing didn't like his current role a little, looked at Xu Qing and said: "I feel that I don't have any role, and I am still the number one girl, I don't feel like you have many scenes." ”

Xu Qing smiled and said, "I still want your role, how good, Bai Yueguang is the same." ”

"Come on, it's a stream-of-consciousness symbol." He Qing sighed, turned his head and glanced at Chen Li'an before saying, "We are all foils, and he is the real protagonist." ”

"It's a good foil." Xu Qing said indifferently: "He acted well and became famous, so it's not a shame to be a foil for him." ”

He Qing nodded and said, "That's right." ”

"Sister, I won't talk to you, I'll go have a drink too, otherwise I'll be busy again later."

Xu Qing stood up and ran to Chen Li'an's side, unceremoniously took a big sip of the beer in front of him, and comfortably snorted.

"It's so ice." Xu Qing's expression is a little cute, but the movements are very charming, especially the little crystal beer on his chin, and the red lips look sexy.

Chen Li'an looked at the lipstick mark on the mouth of the bottle and didn't continue to pick it up and drink it.

"Why don't you drink it?" Xu Qing leaned in front of Chen Li'an, leaned on the bar and looked at him and asked, "Dislike me for drinking?" I don't dislike you. ”

Chen Li'an glanced at her speechlessly, but still took a sip of the beer, saying that he didn't dislike it.

"Do you want one?" Xu Qing took out a cigarette again and handed it to Chen Li'an.

Chen Li'an drank beer and said: "If you don't smoke, you will have to sing later, the singing is not good, and smoking is even more finished." ”

"Okay, there will be a few singing scenes later, and I will have to work overtime tonight." Xu Qing glanced down at his white and tender fingers, because he had to play the guitar for filming, his fingers were all red.

Chen Li'an glanced at it and didn't speak, this little thing is nothing, if it is more rigorous, Xu Qing should be allowed to learn it specifically.

However, Chen Li'an's own skills are also average, and they are too different from their majors, that is, he only sings two songs in the movie, otherwise he would have to practice for a long time.

After resting for a while, Huo Jianqi also beckoned to continue filming, Chen Li'an put down the beer he had just finished drinking and walked to the stage.

"All departments ready, let's go!" After Huo Jianqi finished shouting, the filming continued.

Since receiving the flower basket that day, Chen Li'an will come to the bar every night to wait for He Qing to appear, and then he will sing on stage, always singing the song Norwegian forest, but every time He Qing left without listening to it.

Every time Chen Li'an didn't go to talk to her, nor did he go over to ask her why she didn't listen to it, he just stubbornly used this way to prove it, as for what to prove, he couldn't figure it out himself, and he didn't know whether he was singing to He Qing or singing to his dream that had never been recognized by the city.

Since that day, Chen Li'an has never received a flower basket, and the regulars in the bar are tired of listening to this song, and every time Chen Li'an goes to the sky, some people can't help but heckle.

The accent of the people in the capital sounds very arrogant, coupled with those boos with a downward gaze, it is even more harsh, Chen Li'an clenched the guitar every time and endured all this silently.

Only Xu Qing encouraged him by his side, and every time he would help Chen Li'an beg the band for help, beg the boss to give him face, and playfully joke with the guests, hoping that they would listen.

Chen Li'an is thank you every time, and next time I have the opportunity to invite you to dinner.

It's just that Chen Li'an, who is shy in his pocket, doesn't know when he will be able to invite Xu Qing to dinner, and he runs away without looking back every time he finishes speaking.

After the filming of these scenes, it was already more than two o'clock in the middle of the night, everyone was sleepy, Chen Li'an's voice was a little hoarse, and Xu Qing handed over a fat sea next to him.

"Eat one, be careful that you can't speak tomorrow."

Chen Li'an took it and subconsciously said, "Thank you, I'll invite you to dinner next time." ”

"Haha, don't say it." Xu Qing couldn't help laughing, looked at Chen Li'an and said, "I've listened to it more than a dozen times tonight." ”

Chen Li'an also smiled dumbly, he really said it well, threw the fat sea into his mouth and looked at her and said, "When the movie is finished, I will definitely treat you to a good meal." ”

Xu Qing blinked, looked at him and said, "You can eat anything, and you can eat white water noodles." ”

Chen Li'an smiled and said no, so he took the guitar and left, Xu Qing looked at his back and muttered where he wanted to eat.

The next day's shooting was in the tube building, in the small single room, Chen Li'an sat in front of the camera, holding his stainless steel bowl, showering the flowers in the flower basket that had begun to wither, and his movements were reverent and focused.

Looking at the dew drops on the petals, Chen Li'an somehow thought of Xu Qing's round face, the movement in his hand paused suddenly, put down the bowl in his hand, glanced at the guitar by the wall and went out.

"Hello, are you short of a singer here?" In a bar, Chen Li'an looked at the bar owner and asked.

The bar owner looked at him and waved his hand and said, "No, you can ask somewhere else." ”

Chen Li'an came out in frustration and walked in a different bar.

"Hello, are you short of a singer here?"

"Is there an original song? Sing two verses and listen to it. ”

"On every night."

"You better go back and practice and come back."

"Hello, boss, are you short of a singer here?"

"No, I don't."

Chen Li'an had been hitting a wall all day, and when he walked to the bar again that night, he looked at the dark alley, and he took another step inside, and the whole person was completely submerged in darkness.

In the darkness, he looked at the bright lights outside, his eyes were dry and itchy, and the cigarette in his pocket was only a shriveled cigarette case.

Chen Li'an looked at the cigarette case and was silent on the ground for a long time before he raised his head and stepped on the crumpled cigarette case and walked out of the alley.

In tonight's bar, Xu Qing didn't wait for Chen Li'an to appear, lying on the bar and waiting for something, and he was not disappointed because no one sang Norwegian Wood, so he sat for a while and left.

On the street outside the bar, Chen Li'an rubbed shoulders with a black Mercedes-Benz, and the driver wore a dazzling gold sheet on his wrist.

Chen Li'an smelled the foul smell of car exhaust, turned around and disappeared around the corner.

"Alright, call it a day! Good work for everyone tonight! Huo Jianqi stood up and shouted at this time.

Hu Jun sat in the Mercedes-Benz, pushed the door and got out of the car, leaned on the door and looked at Huo Jianqi and shouted: "Director, I have been waiting for this scene for more than an hour, you can't invite me to supper to comfort me." ”

Huo Jianqi immediately smiled and said, "I'll invite you to dinner when the filming is over." ”

"Cut! It's exactly the same as what Mr. Chen said! Hu Jun couldn't help but complain.

At the door of the bar, you have to pick your fingers when you are bored, this movie is outrageous!

At the beginning, the script was obviously not like this, why did it suddenly change beyond recognition, and now it is more and more unlike the female number one when filmed.

To be precise, she and Xu Qing are both female number one, but the real protagonist is only Chen Li'an.

He Qing feels bored to death, that is, watching Chen Li'an act every day, she can still have some fun, at least she enjoys watching Chen Li'an's performance.

It's just that she and Chen Li'an's rivalry is alas, don't mention it!

He Qing glanced at Xu Qing, who was smoking, and was a little envious of her and Chen Li'an's rivalry so much.

At this time, Chen Li'an had already walked back from the other end of the street, walked up to Huo Jianqi and asked, "What will you shoot tomorrow?" ”

Huo Jianqi said helplessly: "Tomorrow is a day off, it's too fast to shoot now, I have to go back and check the material carefully." ”

Chen Li'an: "." Don't NG blame me? I can't save myself money!
