Chapter 374 373. Another Chen Li'an

Green smoke was lingering, and the gray soot was fluttering in the breeze, and finally fell to the ground and mixed with the soil.

On the street in the evening, Chen Li'an walked through the crowds like a confused child. Everything around him had nothing to do with him.

Strange people, strange streets, and a strange myself.

Chen Li'an kept walking forward with his head lowered in the crowd, walking very fast but not knowing where he was going.

Behind him, Bai Qing, who was wearing a black dress with oil paint on it, followed silently, just looking at his back, not daring to call him or stop for fear of losing him.

Bo Qing's painting was finished, but Chen Li'an was confused. Just like the painting, the glass shattered to the ground, and each fragment reflected a completely different Chen Li'an.

Which fragment of Chen Li'an is the real one?

Chen Li'an doesn't know, neither does Bo Qing, maybe no one knows.

On the street in the evening, Chen Li'an had confusion in his deep eyes. He looked at everyone who passed by him. From their eyes, Chen Li'an also saw confusion.

This is an era of diversification. Rapid industrialization has destroyed everything in the past. People's chaotic hearts have been washed away by the torrent of the times, causing all kinds of worries and confusion.

Chen Li'an suddenly felt that he had finally integrated into this era, completely integrated into this era. Like all other living beings, he stood confused at the intersection of time and did not know where to go.

Chen Li'an stood there for a long time, and Bo Qing stood behind him for a long time, like two sculptures, like two nails, nailed here.

When the first street light turned on, Chen Li'an raised his head and looked at the warm yellow light, feeling a conflicting feeling of sadness and joy lingering in his heart.

His future has always been in his past. From the 1990s to the future 20s, it is both the future and the past.

Chen Li'an suddenly sighed, looked back at Bai Qing and said, "Go back, I'm leaving to Shanghai."

Bo Qing couldn't see Chen Li'an's face clearly, and stood there silently looking at him. The orange paint on the black skirt was like scarlet sparks that were about to ignite her.

"Have you found yourself? Do you want to leave or stay?"

Chen Li'an squinted his eyes and looked at Bo Qing. The noisy sounds around him caused him to have auditory hallucinations, as if he heard Bo Qing saying in his ear: "I know where you come from."

The flashing red light on the black light stand suddenly turned green, and the still crowd suddenly started to move, forming a torrent between Chen Li'an and Bo Qing. Chen Li'an suddenly felt scared when he saw Bo Qing, and couldn't help but take a step back. The flow of people disappeared.

Drop~~

The ship's whistle sounded on the Suzhou River. Chen Li'an stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the turbid river water, and followed the crowd down the deck.

Mr. Zhou has not seen Chen Li'an for a long time. Chen Li'an, who was supposed to join the group in July, disappeared for a month. No one knows where he went.

All I know is that he left a letter saying he would come back.

When Mr. Zhou saw Chen Li'an getting off the boat, he ran towards him, but stopped halfway.

Chen Li'an at this time made her feel very strange, so strange that it was as if she had never known him before.

His originally strong figure had become extremely thin, and his sunken collarbone could be seen under his thin blue-gray T-shirt.

Chen Li'an was carrying a black travel bag. His eyes were slightly sunken, but his eyes were extremely bright.

Mr. Zhou slowly walked towards Chen Li'an, stretched out his hand and put it between his eyebrows and rubbed it gently with his hand.

Chen Li'an raised his hand and grabbed Mr. Zhou's hand, leading her and disappearing to the dock.

In the small and cramped hotel with a faint musty smell, Mr. Zhou looked at Chen Li'an's thin calf and looked at the wound on it. He carefully held it and asked, "How did you do this?"

Chen Li'an glanced at the wound and said calmly: "I fell down the mountain."

"Does it hurt?"

"It hurt at the time, but I can't feel it now."

"Where have you been?"

"There are many places, many places that I didn't dare to go before."

There should have been a Chen Li'an carrying a schoolbag on his back, a red brick house, and a big white dog.

Chen Li'an always felt that something was missing in his heart. It wasn't until he went to these places that he realized that subconsciously he had never dared to go. "He" was afraid.

Mr. Zhou looked at Chen Li'an's face and said, "I feel that you are different."

Chen Li'an nodded silently, looked at Mr. Zhou's worried eyes and said, "I'm sorry for making you worry, just treat me as me to practice."

Mr. Zhou held Chen Li'an in his arms and smelled his body. He smelled the familiar smell on his neck, and his heart slowly relaxed.

It's still him.

Pa~

The lamp was turned off, and the room fell into darkness, except for the steady breathing of the two people.

Early the next morning, Chen Li'an woke up, got dressed, went next door and knocked on Lou Ye's door.

Lou Ye was wearing a white vest. After opening the door, he asked Chen Li'an to find a place to sit by himself, then went out with a basin to brush his teeth and wash his face.

Chen Li'an looked at the stuffed ashtray on Lou Ye's bedside table, lit a cigarette and sat on the edge of the bed, smoking quietly.

After smoking a cigarette, Lou Ye came back in high spirits.

As soon as he saw Chen Li'an, he said: "You are finally here. If you don't come, I will replace you. Your company only gave me half of the money. I can hardly survive."

As he spoke, Lou Ye also took out the shriveled cigarette case, lit a cigarette for himself and said, "But you feel so good now. The feeling you gave me before always had traces of imitation, but now it feels much more natural. "

Chen Li'an nodded and smiled, put the cigarette butt into the ashtray and said, "It took so long, let's start filming today."

"Okay, do you still remember the script?"

Chen Li'an nodded his head and said, "I remember it, and it's even clearer than before. It's become a complete movie."

Lou Ye didn't know why and said with a smile: "Haha, artists have rich imaginations."

Chen Li'an smiled slightly, stood up and said, "Let's change places to live today. I'm back, so I don't have to save money."

"This is the second good news I've heard today."

"There will be a third one."

Chen Li'an looked at Lou Ye, who was still wearing big pants, patted his shoulder and went out.

Lou Ye looked at Chen Li'an's back with some surprise, feeling that this guy had changed a lot in the two months since he disappeared.

But it doesn’t matter, the most important thing is to be able to boot normally!

At the door of the hotel, Chen Li'an opened the door of the Audi and got in. Then he waved to Mr. Zhou who was still in a daze and said, "Get in the car."

"Oh." Mr. Zhou quickly ran over and got in the car. Watching Chen Li'an skillfully start the ignition, he said with some surprise: "Don't you know how to drive?"

"It's him who doesn't know it, it's not that I don't know it." Chen Li'an patted the steering wheel and said, "This old antique is quite powerful. Do you want to buy another car?"

Mr. Zhou pursed his lips and felt that Chen Li'an was even more strange. He silently put on his seat belt and said, "I quite like this car."

After Chen Li'an skillfully shifted gears and started, he caught up with Lou Ye's car in front.

Soon we arrived at the shooting location. Chen Li'an stopped the car and turned off the engine. He got out of the car and looked at the dark sky and busy Suzhou River. He breathed in the air with a hint of fishy smell. It felt really wonderful.

Only at this moment did the world appear so real before my eyes.

Lou Ye was busy making preparations, and Chen Li'an was also getting familiar with his props. As soon as he put on a gray cardigan and sweater, he rode on his motorcycle and said to Mr. Zhou: "Come up here and walk through the play to get a feel for it."

Mr. Zhou, who was wearing a ponytail and a red sportswear, got into the back seat. As soon as he sat down, Chen Li'an twisted the accelerator and started the car.

Mr. Zhou grabbed the armrest behind him and did not dare to reach out to hug Chen Li'an, as if he was facing a stranger and was embarrassed to be so close.

The feeling of reunion after a long absence last night made her ignore a lot of things. Only today did she realize that Chen Li'an was really different from before.

At least he wouldn't ride out as soon as he sat down.

Chen Li'an rode the bike in silence, feeling the wind blowing in his ears. He liked everything so much now.

Mr. Zhou seemed to feel the excitement in Chen Li'an's heart, and tentatively stretched out a hand to grab a corner of the jacket.

Chen Li'an felt nothing and came back after riding for a while.

Lou Ye was also ready at this time. He looked at Chen Li'an and said, "Now there's only one scene left for you that hasn't been filmed yet. The shooting will be very intense. You'll be fine."

Chen Li'an smiled and said, "Of course it's no problem."

"Okay, let's get started."

Chen Li'an restrained his emotions, suppressed his excitement, looked at the slowly flowing Suzhou River, and immersed himself in the role.

Ma Da was leaning on the stone railing by the river and chatting with a group of friends. Suddenly, there was a roar of motorcycles in the distance, and a friend appeared in the camera on a green motorcycle.

Ma Da and a group of friends gathered around and curiously asked where the car came from.

Stolen.

The answer was not beyond Motor's expectation. He was the first to ride on the bike, and when he put his hands on the handles, he felt that he liked this feeling.

I just turned the accelerator and rushed out. The friends around me were instantly thrown away. I felt the speed brought by the motorcycle, the feeling of the wind blowing on my face, and my dry and numb heart finally came alive, and the blood continued to flow. of surge.

This feeling made him obsessed. Listening to his friends chasing and shouting behind him, Ma Da laughed and looked back at them.

Then he turned his head and continued to twist the throttle to make the motorcycle go faster.

Soon the scene ended, and Chen Li'an rode the motorcycle back again.

The plot of Suzhou River is very fragmented and the storyline is very simple, but many fragmented scenes in it are full of unique romantic poetry.

Lou Ye likes this method of expression very much. The picture is very grainy and has a strong sense of the times. The shaky camera is like a microcosm of this era.

He pays great attention to the feeling presented by the actors, and is not so picky about the plot. He likes Chen Li'an's performance just now, and it feels better than Chen Li'an's previous audition.

Or more natural.

The crew changed the scene. Chen Li'an did not drive this time. Instead, he rode on his motorcycle and said to Mr. Zhou: "Are you going to drive there or take my car?"

Mr. Zhou shook his head and said, "I want to drive there."

"Okay, I'll see you later." Chen Li'an turned the accelerator and set off first.

Mr. Zhou stood there and looked at Chen Li'an's back. Lou Ye noticed her mood and came over and said proactively: "What's wrong with you?"

"He is so strange." Mr. Zhou said.

Lou Ye smoked a cigarette and said, "Maybe it's to help you get in shape. Your feelings were too strong when you saw him yesterday. Will being a little stranger help you both get into character?"

"I hope so." Mr. Zhou was a little confused and turned around to drive.

The following scene is the first meeting between Ma Da and Mu Dan. Ma Da is a deliveryman who delivers goods from one end of the city to the other. The things he delivers are very special.

But Ma Da never asks and is very tight-lipped about delivery matters. Many people like to ask him for delivery.

It’s just that this time the goods to be delivered are very special, it’s a person.

Based on the information, Ma Da rode to his destination, called his employer, and saw the back of a girl.

"I saw her, she has two pigtails, right?"

"Yes, I'm over here."

Mudan's father used to be in the wine business and was very wealthy. But after the divorce, he indulged in liquor and women.

Every time he brought a woman home, he asked Ma Da to deliver the peony to his aunt's house.

Mudan, who was wearing a red sportswear and pigtails, walked into a canteen. Ma Da drove the car and parked it at the door, just as Mudan came out.

"Where do you want me to sit?" Mudan was carrying a black backpack, putting his hands in his pockets and looking at the motor.

Ma Da raised his chin and said, "Sit behind me and put on your helmet."

Mudan came over and sat on the back seat with a pout. Ma Da looked back at her with his helmet in hand and said, "You can't do this, sit down."

Mudan took the helmet, crossed her legs and easily put it on the other side of the car and put the helmet on.

The motor waited for her to sit down before starting the motorcycle.

The motor was riding very slowly, and the roar of the motorcycle was loud. Mudan's expression was very bored, and looking at the motor sideways, he felt even more bored.

Ma Da asked without looking back, "What are you looking at?"

"I'm looking at you!" Peony's voice sounded in Ma Da's ears, clear and innocent.

"What do I have to see?"

"It doesn't work even if you look at it." Mudan glanced at the Suzhou River next to her and asked, "Do you usually drive so slowly?"

Ma Da asked subconsciously: "What's wrong?"

Peony said with a hint of disgust: "It's boring."

"Why are you so tired?"

"It's just boring! When you drive a motorcycle, you have to act like you're driving a motorcycle."

Mudan found it boring, and even felt that Ma Da was boring.

Ma Da thought this little girl was very funny, so he said, "Hurry up, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it."

"You can't stand it."

"Then let's try?"

"Just try it!"

The motor sped up, and the breeze blowing across her face blew up Mudan's braid, and the motorcycle became bumpy. A smile appeared on Mudan's face, like a child who got a toy.

When the car stopped and the scene ended, Mr. Zhou looked at Chen Li'an and suddenly remembered the night in Suzhou.

At that time, I was like a peony and told Chen Li'an that I wanted to try it.

Chen Li'an turned his head and looked at Mr. Zhou and smiled. At that moment, Mr. Zhou seemed to have returned to the past.

I am full of curiosity about this man and want to explore and enter his world.

Mr. Zhou tilted his head and looked at Chen Li'an. For a moment, he didn't know whether he had really become a stranger, or whether he was deliberately using this method to help himself find his state.

But no matter what the outcome is, Mr. Zhou wants to try again, even if it means getting to know him again and entering Chen Li'an's world again.
