Traveling through the 80s, I picked up an actor

Chapter 50: Li Mubai's Traces

Jiang Li spent two days in a daze. Even Jiang's father and mother noticed that something was wrong with her. But after asking her several times, Jiang Li just said that it was because she was too tired. So Jiang's father and mother didn't think much about it. They just thought that she was tired from work some time ago, and they made various soups for her to nourish her body.

Jiang Li is in deep pain right now. Ever since she woke up from her coma, she has been sleeping restlessly every day. As soon as she falls asleep, she always feels someone calling her anxiously in her ear.

"Jiang Li, where have you been?"

"Jiang Li, come back soon, come back soon."

Every time this happened, Jiang Li would wake up with a start, and after waking up, she would find that her entire back was soaked with sweat, and she looked like she had just run a lap under the scorching sun in summer.

For example, this night, she had no idea how many times she had woken up.

Jiang Li threw back the quilt and got out of bed. She picked up the cup of water on the bedside table and gulped down the water. A cool feeling entered her stomach, and she walked to the window and opened the curtains. The sky was getting brighter, and the morning air rushed in with a moist and cool feeling. A gust of cold wind came over, and Jiang Li shuddered, feeling that she was finally completely awake.

The months I spent in Hong Kong seemed like a dream.

In this real world, there is no unruly Xue Lulu, no overbearing Liu Genhua, no gentle Qin Sisi, and no...

There is no tender Li Mubai either...

But the image of Li Mubai in the dream was so clear. Whenever Jiang Li was free, she would always involuntarily recall the scene of Li Mubai smiling and talking to her, his gentle eyes when he looked at her, and her leaning on his chest, the beating and warmth of his chest...

These feelings are so real, but how can it be all fake...

Jiang Li felt like she was almost going to have schizophrenia. Luckily, she had no work to do and was on vacation recently, otherwise, going to work in this state would have been difficult for Jiang Li.

That day, she had just finished drinking the loving ginseng soup cooked by Jiang's mother at home when she received a call from her university teacher Dong Guoqiang.

As soon as the call was connected, Teacher Dong Guoqiang's hearty and sonorous voice came from the microphone: "Xiao Li'er! I brought back some delicious cakes from Hong Kong. When can you come over to try them and visit me and your wife?"

When Jiang Li heard the word "Hong Kong", her heart skipped a beat.

"Teacher went to Hong Kong?"

"Well, I haven't been there for more than ten years. This time I went to visit some old friends."

Dong Guoqiang was Jiang Li's dubbing teacher at university. The two of them felt like they had met too late. Jiang Li felt friendly towards him as soon as she saw him, and Dong Guoqiang also said that as soon as he saw Jiang Li, he wanted to take her in as his last disciple. They have always had a good relationship, so they still keep in touch often after graduating from university.

Dong Guoqiang treats Jiang Li as his daughter, and Jiang Li respects Dong Guoqiang as her father. Anyway, they always think of each other when good things happen.

Jiang Li was busy with work recently and hadn't visited him for two or three months. She didn't expect to be mentioned again.

"Teacher, I'm free these two days, how about I go over in the afternoon?"

"Okay! Then let's have dinner here tonight. I'll ask your wife to make you sweet and sour spare ribs!"

"it is good!"

Jiang Li hung up the phone, said something to Jiang's father and mother, then packed up and went out.

You can't go to a visit empty-handed, so Jiang Li first went to the supermarket and bought some tea and fruit, and then took a taxi to the teacher's house.

In fact, there was no need to be so anxious, but when Jiang Li received a call from her teacher, she remembered that her teacher had been working in the film and television industry for more than 30 years. She heard that he had visited Hong Kong for exchanges in the 1980s and 1990s. Maybe she could get some information from him.

Jiang Li arrived at Dong Guoqiang's home at around 3 o'clock. His wife enthusiastically made her tea and put out a pile of snacks brought from Hong Kong for her to eat.

"Eat as much as you want! I've prepared a few extra boxes for you to take home and let your parents try too."

Dong Guoqiang also said: "Yes, you're welcome."

A rerun of last night's awards ceremony was playing on TV.

The 44th Hong Kong Golden Leaf Awards.

Dong Guoqiang complained while drinking tea: "This award ceremony in Hong Kong is really getting worse year by year. Back then, it was full of stars and talents!"

The master's wife came over after washing the fruit and just happened to see the "Best Actor" award ceremony.

"Hey! This year's best actor is Huang Shan! I've seen the movies he acted in before, they're pretty good, and he's pretty good-looking!"

Dong Guoqiang put down his teacup and snorted: "You call this good-looking? You call this good acting? You haven't seen the acting of a true movie emperor."

"Young people nowadays think that having explosive power and being able to cry and laugh loudly is a sign of good acting skills, but in fact this is the easiest way to act."

"Real good acting is to express the turbulent emotions in one's heart through a tiny expression and detail..."

The teacher's wife laughed at Jiang Li and said, "Your teacher is taking advantage of his age and looks down on the acting skills of young people nowadays..."

Dong Guoqiang said disdainfully: "Isn't that right? Young people nowadays cannot endure hardships, and secondly, they value appearance over strength, and they even speak a few lines haltingly. You haven't heard the original lines of those so-called traffic stars, they are simply ear-burning..."

"If you ask me, the most deserving winner of the Best Actor award is the class of 1979..."

Jiang Li was drinking tea when she heard about 1979. Suddenly, she couldn't hold the cup steadily and some tea spilled out, scalding her fingers red.

When the master's wife saw that she was burned, she was shocked and quickly came over to ask: "Are you burned? Does it hurt? Go to the bathroom and rinse yourself."

Jiang Li didn't care about the pain in her fingers, and quickly put down the cup in her hand. She waved to the teacher's wife and said it didn't hurt, then hurriedly looked at the teacher.

"Teacher, you just mentioned 1979? But I looked at the information for that year, and the winner of the Best Actor award is blank!"

Dong Guoqiang sighed softly, picked up the teacup and took a sip of hot tea, then slowly said: "That's because someone erased the information."

Jiang Li asked in surprise: "Why?"

Dong Guoqiang shook his head: "I don't know about this. The Hong Kong entertainment industry is very complicated. There are many things we can't figure out."

Jiang Li looked solemn, as if there was a mountain in front of her, but the road leading to the mountain was blocked by heavy fog.

Her throat rolled twice, and her fingers unconsciously tightened. She asked softly, "Teacher, what is the name of the actor you just mentioned?"

"His name is……"

Dong Guoqiang raised his head and looked into the distance. It seemed that he could see through the thick wall and travel back to more than 40 years ago and saw that energetic young man.

"Li Mubai, his name is Li Mubai."

When the three words "Li Mubai" came out of Dong Guoqiang's mouth lightly, Jiang Li felt that her heartbeat stopped, and there was a buzzing sound next to her ears. After a long time, she heard her own intermittent voice.

"Teacher, you... where is this Li Mubai you mentioned now? If he is the winner of the Best Actor Award, why haven't I seen any of his works?"

Dong Guoqiang pulled back his thoughts and said solemnly, "Many people nowadays have never seen his works, because since some time ago, all the movies and TV series he filmed and the interviews he accepted have disappeared, leaving no trace. If I hadn't seen him in person and hadn't treasured some of the movies he recorded back then at home, even I would have doubted whether such a person really existed in this world..."

"Does the teacher have his movies at home?"

Dong Guoqiang nodded: "Yes! But not much! In order to study his performance, I specially recorded his movies and watched them repeatedly, so I still have them at home."

"Li Mubai was a legend of that era! More than 40 years ago, our troupe had a cooperative project with Hong Kong, and I followed our troupe leader to observe and learn. With the introduction of a friend, I was fortunate to see him on the set..."

"Teacher, can you lend me those videos?"

"You want to see?"

Dong Guoqiang was a little surprised, but then he fell into thought: "Then I really need to look for it carefully. It's been so long, I almost forgot where I put it."

The master's wife reminded him, "Did you put it in the attic?"

Dong Guoqiang's eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, it seems so!"

"You guys sit down for a moment, I'll go find it!"

"Wait until I find it out, and let Xiaolizi see the acting skills of a true movie emperor."

"it is good!"

Dong Guoqiang walked away quickly, and the master's wife warmly invited Jiang Li to drink tea and eat snacks, but Jiang Li was absent-minded, with her heart still floating in her chest.

Li Mubai, there really is a Li Mubai in this world.

Does that mean that all that was not a dream at all?

Everything she experienced was real!

But who is it? And why?

To cover up the traces of Li Mubai's existence?

After waiting for ten minutes, Dong Guoqiang still hadn't come back.

The Master's wife became more and more impatient, and finally stood up and said, "Men are troublesome, their eyes are on the top of their heads. If you ask him to look for something, he won't find it after a long time. I'd better go and take a look."

After the Master's wife finished speaking, she walked towards the attic.

Jiang Li waited anxiously until she heard the Master's wife exclaim...

"Boss! Boss! What's wrong with you?"

"Li Li, call an ambulance quickly!"
