292. This bowl of rice is so salty
As soon as the early sun rose in the early morning, Chen Li'an woke up, sat up blankly for a while, and then remembered that he didn't have to go to the crew today.
But I couldn't sleep anymore, so I just turned over and got out of bed to wash up and went out.
There is no driver today, no assistant, Chen Li'an still feels a little comfortable, wandering around alone all morning, and went down to Chen Meiren to see the child.
In the evening, Chen Li'an ran early before Chen Meiren got off work, as if Chen Meiren was a terrible early stage.
It's a pity that the eldest daughter was taken to Xiangjiang by Gong Li, although Chen Li'an thought in his heart, but he couldn't see it.
It seems that everyone knows that Chen Li'an is filming these days, even if Chen Li'an is off today, no one calls him, there are a lot of work calls, but Liu Tao is helping him deal with it.
Chen Li'an hid for a while, went to a very famous bar to drink at night, and met a few rock singers to chat a few words, but the scene after these rock singers drank a little unacceptable.
It's okay to hook up with girls, Chen Li'an also saw them smoking a cigarette with a strange taste, and they also took a small blue pill when drinking, and tricked the girl to give it a try.
Chen Li'an silently helped the girls block it, stuffed the things back, turned around and went out of the bar to report them.
On a stone pier not far from the bar, Chen Li'an sat on it and smoked a cigarette, watching the flashing police car go in and take everyone away one by one, and sighed helplessly.
The movie script is still written conservatively, and Chen Li'an pondered whether to add such a paragraph to the script to rectify these messy things.
Chen Li'an thought for a while and took out the phone to call Huo Jianqi, it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening, Huo Jianqi was still watching the materials at the Beijing Film Studio, and he was still puzzled when he received Chen Li'an's call.
"Hey, why are you calling me like that?" Huo Jianqi asked curiously, his tone full of exhaustion.
Chen Li'an sat on the stone pier, looked at the flashing siren and said, "Add a scene to the script, I came out today and encountered a very interesting thing." ”
"What's the matter?"
"Send in a few drugs."
Chen Li'an took the phone and talked to Huo Jianqi about tonight's events, but as he spoke, he felt that it didn't seem good to add it, although the movie is about the story of a singer, but in essence, it is about those young people who come to the capital to break through, and their careers don't matter at all.
After Huo Jianqi listened to Chen Li'an's words, he said in a deep voice: "We also considered this issue at the beginning, but this phenomenon is not suitable for our current theme, and it will have a very strong bias. ”
"Most people on the margins of society are themselves prejudiced, and if you add this plot, it will not have a good impact."
Chen Li'an looked at the police car that had left, and also agreed with Huo Jianqi's statement, it is true that he can't be killed with a stick, after all, there are many people who are still very good.
After chatting with Huo Jianqi for a few more words, Chen Li'an hung up the phone and went home.
It has been more than half a month since the filming of the movie, and most of the filming progress has passed, Chen Li'an and Huo Jianqi's cooperation is still very good, and they will hardly delay too long in one shot.
After all, Huo Jianqi has been preparing for more than half a year, and he knows what he wants to shoot like, not all directors are Wang Jiawei's kind.
Today's shooting task is relatively heavy, and Chen Li'an has remained silent from getting up in the morning to the set, keeping himself in a tense state and immersing himself in the emotions of the characters.
Huo Jianqi also knew Chen Li'an's acting habits, and he didn't come to disturb him after seeing it, Xu Qing wanted to come over to chat with Chen Li'an, but Huo Jianqi stopped him.
"Don't bother him." Huo Jianqi looked at Xu Qing and said: "Li'an is different from ordinary actors, he doesn't like others to disturb him when he enters the state. ”
Xu Qing glanced at Chen Li'an, who was sitting in the corner smoking, with some pity, his temperament today was very attractive to her, and he wanted to go over to talk.
"Alright, let's prepare!" Huo Jianqi clapped his hands and shouted after stopping Xu Qing.
Chen Li'an glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze, rubbed his stomach that had not eaten twice, stood up and prepared to shoot.
In front of the bar counter in the bar, the bar owner applauded symbolically after listening to Chen Li'an's singing, and waited for him to come over before saying: "You can sing well, and the guitar is good, but do you know how to drink?" ”
Chen Li'an nodded, not understanding what he meant.
The boss smiled and said: "I don't lack singing here, but I lack a handsome waiter like you, drinking and chatting, and I am guaranteed to earn more than you singing." ”
Chen Li'an frowned and picked up the guitar and was about to leave, but the boss immediately grabbed him and said, "If you don't want to be okay, do you sell this guitar?" ”
"Not for sale!" Chen Li'an left without looking back.
The sunlit street was filled with an enticing aroma of food, and Chen Li'an, who had just come out of the bar, stood in the sunlight and squinted his eyes, feeling that the sunlight was dazzling as if he was about to tan himself.
It was obviously the warm sun of early spring, but Chen Li'an felt that the sun shining on his body seemed to burn his skin, and he took the step of the shadow and took it back.
On the street outside the bar, a man in a misfitting suit with glasses on his chest, a sign with a photo on his chest, a flyer in his hand, was constantly stopping passers-by in the sun.
"Sir, do you want to buy a house? The newly built community on the edge of the Third Ring Road, a standard commercial house, with three bedrooms and one living room, is transparent from north to south. ”
"Look, this house is really good, I have pictures here."
"Sister, do you want to see the house? Our house is exceptional, especially for someone with a temperament like you. ”
"Sir, you look really temperamental, you look like a successful person, do you want to consider improving the housing environment?"
The sale in a suit was rejected again and again, disliked again and again, running back and forth made fine sweat break out on his forehead, and occasionally someone stopped, but after asking a few words, he turned around and left.
Chen Li'an hid in the shadows and looked at the man, watching him run back and forth, watching him say all kinds of flattering and flattering words, and couldn't help but feel an inexplicable disgust in his heart.
He didn't know who he hated, he just didn't want to see it again, so he turned and walked aimlessly against the shadows by the wall, walking as carefully as he could, like a cowardly clown who didn't dare to face reality.
He only took two steps and looked back, his eyes revealing a hint of shock and envy.
Chen Li'an glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze, put the guitar on his shoulder back on, and continued to walk along the shadows under the eaves of the store.
The aroma of beef noodles in the air kept wafting, and Chen Li'an's footsteps were blocked by the steaming pot at the entrance of the noodle restaurant.
The heat of the noodle soup continued to rise, and the spicy and spicy taste entered Chen Li'an's nose along the pot gas, Chen Li'an lowered his head and took out the only money he had from his pocket, and then looked up at the beef noodles that had just been made in the boss's hand, with red oil floating on it and a few thin slices of beef.
It's just that the banknotes that were warmed didn't fall into the boss's money box, Chen Li'an looked at the soup pot and was about to go around, when a figure suddenly appeared next to him.
"Brother, what a coincidence, come to dinner, go, I'll have a treat." Wearing a fat suit, holding flyers and brand sales in his hand, he pulled Chen Li'an and walked to the noodle restaurant.
Chen Li'an was a little stunned by this sudden situation, but the sales man was not angry, and pulled Chen Li'an to the noodle restaurant.
"Boss, two bowls of beef noodles, add more noodles, you can't eat enough every bowl."
The boss gave him a perfunctory look, then lowered his head and continued to ramen.
The sales man pushed Chen Li'an into the noodle restaurant, and after pressing him to sit down, he said: "I like you singing, I went to the bar a few days ago to listen to you sing in the Norwegian Wood." ”
Chen Li'an felt very strange in his heart, and he couldn't sit still, but the sales man enthusiastically took out his chopsticks and put them in front of Chen Li'an, and pushed a few cloves of garlic over and said: "If you don't eat noodles, the garlic fragrance is less than half." ”
The sales man said with a smile, and when he saw that Chen Li'an was still carrying a guitar, he asked curiously, "Are you in a hurry?" Are you still going to sing tonight? ”
Chen Li'an was silent and didn't know how to face such enthusiasm, the sales man smiled and didn't care about peeling garlic and urging the boss to hurry up, he was about to starve to death.
Soon the boss brought two bowls of noodles and put them in front of them, the ramen noodles garnished with red oil and beef slices looked attractive, and the aroma that kept burrowing into his nose made Chen Li'an feel his stomach squirming.
The sales man opposite had already picked up the chopsticks and picked up the noodles at this time, and Chen Li'an hesitated for a moment and picked up the chopsticks and grabbed a thin piece of beef.
After the sales man snorted and ate a large mouthful of noodles, he looked at Chen Li'an, who had just put the meat in his mouth, and joked with a smile: "I like to eat the meat at the end, when I was a child, my mother always said that I picked and searched." ”
"But I listened to you sing that day, I was generous once, and the fifty yuan flower basket was given away without blinking, I really like the song you sing, I feel like I'm singing myself."
Chen Li'an chewed the beef numbly, he couldn't feel any taste in his mouth, and he didn't hear what the sales man said clearly.
"You should actually sing a few more songs, you can't sing one more song, you can try it next time."
The sales man was still enthusiastically giving Chen Li'an advice, but when he looked up, he found that Chen Li'an didn't know when he had left.
The bowl of noodles was missing only a piece of beef, and there were a few crumpled bills on the table, no more, no less, exactly fifty-five.
The sales man was stunned for a moment, the chopsticks in his hand were still picking the noodles, but he couldn't help but sigh.
Behind the monitor outside the noodle shop, Xu Qing asked curiously: "Where did you find this actor, he acted well." ”
Huo Jian shouted at first, and then turned his head to Xu Qing and said, "Li'an's classmate is called Fu Dalong." ”
Xu Qing nodded and said, "The acting is really good, but I'm a little short." ”
"Haha, don't say this to your face." Huo Jianqi laughed, looked at Chen Li'an, who had already come over, and stood up and asked, "How is it?" Would you like to take a break? ”
Chen Li'an shook his head and said, "No, go on." ”
Huo Jianqi nodded, and immediately beckoned the staff to prepare for the transfer, and Fu Dalong in the noodle restaurant looked at the two noodles that he hadn't finished eating, and felt a little pity that he ran out with a big mouthful.
Fu Dalong ran to Chen Li'an and gave a thumbs up and said, "You acted really well!" ”
"You're good at acting." Chen Li'an looked at him with oil flowers on the corner of his mouth and pointed before saying, "There will be a play later, I won't care about you, and I'll invite you to dinner later." ”
"Hehe, didn't you just please?" Fu Dalong smiled, patted Chen Li'an's shoulder and said, "Don't go too deep, pay attention to yourself." ”
Chen Li'an nodded and followed the crew again.
After changing the scene, the crew began to shoot again, and the camera followed behind Chen Li'an, shooting his back from above.
Chen Li'an walked on the street in a trance, half of his shoulders were exposed to the sun without noticing, and the guitar behind him was swaying and swinging, but he was never illuminated by the sun.
The sun slowly sets, and the sunlight dims until it disappears completely.
Chen Li'an walked to the door of the singing bar in a trance, he stood across the road and looked at the bar, his pupils reflected the color of neon lights, but there was no expression on his face.
Just as Chen Li'an was about to leave, the girl in the white dress suddenly appeared in front of him again, only this time she was holding a man talking and laughing, and holding a beautiful bouquet of flowers in her hand.
Only this time she didn't even look at the bar, and got into a black Mercedes-Benz with her arm around the man, Chen Li'an looked at the man wearing a gold watch, and always felt that she had seen it somewhere.
It seems to be in a high-end office building, or at the entrance of a high-end community, or maybe it is a high-end shopping mall, he can't remember, but he knows very well that the man and him are two worlds.
The two people who sat in the Mercedes-Benz car, the man intimately helped the woman fasten her seat belt, and then started the car and turned his head to look at the bar when he passed by, as if he was spoiled and said with disgust: "Don't come to this kind of place in the future, there are some unpopular things in the small bar, and tomorrow I will take you to a bar opened by my buddy, and there are often stars to sing." ”
"Well, I know, I won't be here in the future." The woman's eyes never looked at the bar, nor did she see Chen Li'an standing on the side of the road.
Chen Li'an watched the car disappear into the night in silence, and suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly and turned to leave.
I don't know what time it is at night, Chen Li'an returned to the tube building, and when he walked to the door of his single room, he saw a rickety figure sitting at his door, with two snakeskin bags at his feet.
The tired and old man stood up and looked at Chen Li'an and didn't know how to speak, and said after a long time: "Your mother saw that you didn't come back, so let me come to see you." ”
did not blame Chen Li'an for not going home, nor did he complain that Chen Li'an had unrealistic dreams here, and only brought food full of snakeskin bags.
A few salted fish, a few salted chickens, as well as dried beans and peanuts. Everything is Chen Li'an's favorite food.
In the cramped and damp rental house, Chen Li'an sat there in silence, watching his father bend over and add water to the rice cooker to steam the salted chicken and salted fish.
"It's all your mother asked me to bring to you, it's all soaked, it's not salty, you can eat it quickly these days."
My father looked at the soy sauce left at the bottom of the bottle on the small table, looked at the empty somen bag, sighed, and turned to go downstairs.
After a while, the aroma of rice and salty food mixed in the rice cooker seemed to match the damp room.
The creaky door was pushed open again, and my father came in with rice noodles and a bag of seasonings.
Looking at the rice cooker that has tripped, put down the things in your hand and go to serve the rice.
"You usually eat better, if you lack anything, call home and ask your mother to send it to you."
As he spoke, my father brought a large bowl of rice, which was covered with salted chicken and salted fish, and the rice was so bright with the fat of the bacon that it seemed to glow in the dim light.
The father put the rice on the table, and then carried the table in front of Chen Li'an, and then turned around and put the rice and noodles he bought in the corner.
"I'm leaving, and I'm going to take a car back, and this time the car that came to the capital with someone to deliver goods will go back at night." The father stood up and took out the money from his arms, and was just about to put it down, but was held by Chen Li'an.
"Your mother asked me to give it to you." Father looked at Chen Li'an and said.
But the hand holding the money was still pushed back, and the father looked at Chen Li'an and sighed and put the money back again.
The old figure of his father disappeared from the rental house, Chen Li'an sat on the bed and looked at the big bowl of salted meat rice in front of him, and ate it in a big gulp, but this bowl of rice was so salty
The tears on Chen Li'an's face dripped down his cheeks and fell onto the rice, and his bulging mouth couldn't make a sound, only a whimper.
Early the next morning, Xu Qing ran to the tube building with a bag of buns, knocked on the door for a long time and no one opened it, and when he turned around and was about to leave, he saw Chen Li'an standing behind him.
The long hair is gone, the cool jacket and jeans are gone, only Chen Li'an, who has short hair and wears a suit, and the guitar that has been carried behind him is also missing.
The sun shone on Chen Li'an's body, and the light on his back was like a wild flower emerging from the soil in spring.
"Click! Chen Li'an is finished! ”
