twin stars

Lei Yi

Ajie returned to Hangcheng, and cooperated with the director Chu Linyuan who filmed "Moon Slave" to bring the book "Moon Knife" by the famous martial arts novelist Gu Long to the screen.

Like Cha Yong, Gu Long is a master of martial arts novels.One of them is in Daidao, and the other is in Hangcheng. Their works have a wide influence in the Chinese world.Zha Yong's novels are grand and grand, full of a heavy sense of history.Gu Long's novels are treacherous, beautiful, and willful. There is a kind of free and easy love and hatred, and also a kind of desolation that penetrates the heart. A lonesome, self-exiled prodigal.

There are also directors who have filmed Gu Long's novels before, but they have not aroused any response.This time Chu Linyuan and Ajie collaborated on "Moon Knife", and the movie caused a sensation when it was released.Director Chu's films have their own characteristics.The rivers and lakes filmed by Director Zhang have a sense of primitive roughness, coming from the frankness and going away from the frankness.The rivers and lakes that director Chu shoots are flowers, mornings, moons and evenings, pavilions, towers and pavilions, embroidered tents and curtains, often hiding murderous intentions in the poetic and picturesque.Ajie himself has a sassy Jianghu chivalry, but his appearance is unparalleled, with a bit of feminine beauty, which is especially suitable for Director Chu's style.The two hit it off immediately, and the movie was a huge success in Hangcheng, Daidao and Xinmatai.They are said to continue working together to bring Gurung's other novels to the screen.

Has Ajie found his partner?He doesn't...don't need me anymore?

Ajie succeeds in Hangcheng, but Zhang Dao's company in Daidao is struggling.Except for the few films starring A Sheng, the box office of Director Zhang's other new films almost failed to meet expectations. The box office of "Ba Dao Lou" was not satisfactory, and the company lost money due to the huge cost.The audience wondered if they were tired of the plot mode and shooting techniques of director Zhang’s films, or maybe director Zhang didn’t grasp the audience’s movie-watching psychology and trends. In recent years, the box office champion of Air City has been Jiahe’s Xu Brothers Director Chu Linyuan also used complex plots and exquisite and gorgeous sets rich in Chinese classical charm to attract the audience's attention in the civic comedy films he shot, but director Zhang's martial arts films are declining day by day.

The two martial arts instructors who used to be queens also left him: Master Tang stayed in Hangcheng, while Master Liu disagreed with Dao Zhang and set up a separate company to direct and shoot kung fu movies by himself.I could feel Zhang Dao's exhaustion, but he couldn't help anything.Ajie's departure made me feel as if I had been emptied, aimless all day long, like a walking dead.Zhang Dao once told us: No matter what kind of trouble we two have, we still have to keep a sense of proportion in front of the media and not be laughed at by others.So when the media asked me if Ajie and I had a falling out, I could only deny it with a wry smile.

Probably hoping to recover the decline through new forces, Zhang Dao recruited the fourth generation of disciples.In order to create momentum for the fourth-generation disciples to carry the sedan chair, Ajie was recalled by Director Zhang to film the movie "Shaolin" together with me and Asheng.This movie is the prequel of "Five Ancestors". In it, Ajie and I have almost no scenes against each other. All the scenes are added up, and the dialogue lines do not exceed ten lines.

When I saw Ajie again, he was full of vigor and energy, and his gestures and gestures were full of smug joy. He even smiled politely when he saw me.

After filming the afternoon scene, A-jie put his arm around Ah Sheng's shoulders and said, "The company gave me a lot of dividends for the filming of "Moon Knife". Brothers are blessed to share, today I invite everyone to drink, if you don't get drunk, you won't go home! "Everyone raised their arms and cheered, crowding around Ajie in twos and threes.The large group of people moved happily to the outside of the set, while I stayed where I was, wondering if I should follow them.

"Brother Jie, wait a minute!" Ah Sheng suddenly stopped and looked back at me: "Brother Xiao Yi..."

Ajie glanced at me, and said with a smile to Asheng: "I'm asking you, people who have nothing to do... don't worry about it! Let's go!" He said, and pulled everyone out.

I stared blankly at Ajie, tears almost bursting out of my eyes.

"I'm not going!" Ah Xiu suddenly turned back angrily, stood by my side and said, "It's been said that we share blessings, since we are all brothers, why can't we go together?"

Ajie didn't look at us, and said nonchalantly: "If you don't want to go, I won't force you. If you don't enjoy drinking, it's boring. Come, come, come, come with me if you want to drink."

"I'm not going either!" Artest also turned back.

Ajie raised his head, smiled slightly, and continued to walk forward.

Ah Sheng, Ah Tim and the others looked at me with embarrassed expressions. After a moment of hesitation, they followed Ajie's footsteps.

I watched him stride out of the set with a team of people.In the past, he and I led everyone to drink.

"Damn it! How did Brother Jie become like this? Doesn't show any sympathy?" Ah Xiu punched his palm.

"Let's go, let's go drink!" Atai pulled me, who was like a clay sculpture, and patted Ah Xiu's shoulder, and the three of them walked out of the set, walking in the opposite direction from Ajie and the others.

I held up the wine glass, and the wine in the glass was like plain water, tasteless.Ahxiu was already blushing from drinking, and started talking nonsense:

"Damn it, is it necessary for him to treat you like this? Does he have to be both ruined to be happy? "

"It's fine to leave Director Zhang to make a movie, but now he's still doing this to you!"

"What does it matter if you are married? Can't you be brothers? Dogs have eaten all the love for so many years?"

Artest sat the flamboyant Ah Xiu on the sofa, frowned and said, "Ah Xiu, stop talking!"

"Why can't I say it? Look at Brother Xiao Yi now. He used to be so radiant and lively, but now he looks like he's lost his soul. He's about to collapse! Why can't I say it?"

Artest angrily tried to stop Ah Xiu from talking nonsense, while I still kept my head sullen and drank like plain water until I lost consciousness.

"Shaolin" finished, and Ajie returned to Hangcheng.Not long after, Zhang Dao's company also closed due to insufficient income.Because Zhao's company's money was originally used, in order to repay the debt, Director Zhang signed a five-year contract with Zhao's company, agreeing on the number of films to be produced each year, and paying off the debt with the director's salary.Most of the members of Zhang's class also followed Director Zhang back to Zhao's company, back to Hangcheng.Ah Tai set up his own company to make films independently. Although Ah Xiu returned to Hangcheng, but because Zhang Dao's support has shifted to the fourth generation of disciples, Ah Xiu had to find his own way out in the company, looking for other directors to recommend himself, and at the same time learning to edit. Film, dubbing, script writing, photography and other skills.Zhang Dao can no longer protect so many people, everyone is looking for their own way out, and I am the same, the chicks always leave the nest.But where do we go from here?

There are quite a few film companies on Dai Island who offered me money to make films, and the bids were higher than the remuneration offered by Zhao's company.Yu Shan insisted that I stay on the island, saying that celebrities will not be popular for a few years, and now that I have film appointments, it is better to make more films to make money.Yeah, I now have a family to support and the first priority is to make money.What about returning to Hangcheng?Will Ajie meet me?Won't the door of his house be closed to me?Maybe wait a little longer, when he is no longer angry with me, no longer hate me, I can meet him... Although I still don't understand why he hates me so much.

I took a lot of films, and Ma Wu, who stayed on the island as a director, advised me: "Don't take films casually. If the production is poor and the box office is not satisfactory, it will ruin your reputation in the future."

after?I didn't think so much, I just wanted to get through the present.

I accidentally met my former idol Huang Yu in Daidao, and I regard him as a big brother.His experience after leaving Zhangjiaban was also wonderful and tortuous: Jiahe Company was sued for copyright infringement by Zhao Company for making a single-swordsman-themed movie without authorization, and the lawsuit lasted for several years.Later, because the fight was on the social news page, he was restricted from entering Hangcheng.He develops on the island, and is appreciated by the local underworld on the island, and he and the big brother of the underworld are called brothers.He once married a popular female celebrity, and later divorced and married a stewardess who was many years younger than him, but he caught the stewardess cheating on her, and he wished the other party happiness freely, and then ended the matter.He is also a close drinking buddy with Gu Long.

Through his relationship, Gu Long and I have also become good friends.Gu Long is just like the protagonist in his novels, he is also a prodigal son who appears dissolute on the surface but is actually lonely in his heart.I have a lot of resonance with him, and he also likes the martial arts movies I acted in, so the two chatted very speculatively.There is also an actor named Fang Shijie who often drinks with Gu Long. He used to be a dragon and tiger martial artist in the Zhao Company. accompany wine.Unexpectedly, Gu Long deliberately teased him and said: "My novels are only for Feng Xiangjie and Lei Yi, not for you!" Fang Shijie was hit, hugged me and cried bitterly after vomiting in the toilet.I had no choice but to comfort him and said: He is still young, seven years younger than me, and he still has many opportunities. I will continue to lobby Gu Long for you.Gurung eventually wrote a screenplay for him.

The moment I heard Ajie's name from Gu Long's mouth, my heart ached.It's been a long time since his name was mentioned in front of me.I counted the days every day, clearly remembering how many days I hadn't seen him, imagining that with every extra day, Ajie's hatred for me would become weaker, and I had more hope.

"Lei Yi, the lunch box you ate fell on the ground just now, and it was covered with gravel, why are you still eating it?" The field manager reminded.

"Ah?" After she reminded me, I noticed that there were many small black particles on the rice, which I swallowed a lot just now. "Oh, it's okay, I didn't pay attention just now. You can eat it if it's dirty, or it's too wasteful." I laughed at myself.

The field manager said in surprise: "I didn't expect...you are a big star, you are so fastidious about your food!"

Pay attention?What else can I pay attention to?As long as you can eat it.Could it be possible to have lunch with Ajie as before?In retrospect, although Ajie would grab the boxed lunch from me every time, he almost always let me eat first, and he watched with a smile.After filming, he was obviously very hungry, but he always let me... I rubbed my sore nose and continued to eat.

After joining a new crew, I realized more deeply how warm Zhang Director's crew is.In the past, all the staff, including lighting, photography, screenwriters, props... Because they collaborated on several films every year, after a long period of running-in, everyone has become very tacit, understand each other's character and temper, and tolerate each other, just like a family .But the colleagues on the island obviously don't like me.I was originally reticent, but when Dao Zhang and Ajie were around, I was very happy, became lively and active, and could mingle with everyone.But now, my new colleagues feel that I am cold and arrogant, unwilling to care about others, and playing big names, and I don't want to explain, so I am gradually isolated.The shooting pace of Hangcheng is very fast, but the shooting of Kedai Island is slow-paced, which makes me very uncomfortable. I complain about it occasionally, and even get resistance from new colleagues.Sometimes I hear voices like "you have stayed well in Hangcheng, why do you come to Daidao to compete with us for jobs".The dissatisfaction of the production crew spread to the media, and negative/negative/news/news about me appeared in the newspapers every now and then, saying that I didn't fit in with the group, felt superior to others, did not deserve my name, and so on.Even once the props collapsed, I woke up in my sleep and quickly got out of the way, and was ridiculed by the newspapers: I played a hero, but escaped faster than a mouse!I remembered that when I was in Zhao's company, the carriage lost control once and almost hit me who was taking a nap on the seat. Fortunately, Ajie who was standing next to me rushed over to save me in time.Ajie said that there are frequent accidents in filming, and he must be vigilant at all times, otherwise his life may be lost because of a small mistake.When filming "Ba Dao Lou", an extra actor accidentally stepped on a landmine and was killed.

He was always right.I am lonely and miss Ajie very much!

Newspapers often see reports about Ajie, except for movie announcements, which report how he and his wife love each other.For example, how he cooks for his wife himself; how he goes to his mother-in-law's house to pay her birthday respect and learns cooking skills from her, which is very popular with her mother-in-law; This person gave it to her, and the couple laughed together.He lived... seemed very happy!Can he still... remember me?

Another way to meet Ajie is to watch a movie.A Jie and director Chu Linyuan's new work "Chu Xiangshuai" was released. It still uses Gu Long's novel as the script. The movie is more exciting and caused a greater sensation. The audience is bigger.

Chu Xiang, played by Ajie, is handsome, suave, resourceful, with a bright and clear smile, and a natural charm/charm.His demeanor is more graceful and composed, and his acting skills are more free and easy, just as the lyrics sing "The body is like flowing clouds and flowing water, and the heart is like a bright moon and a clear breeze".Who doesn't admire Chu Xiangshuai like this?

Ajie's career is in full swing, and his reputation has surpassed the period when he was filming under Director Zhang.A lot of media commented that the Zhang director was biased towards me at the beginning, always making A Jie not good as the second male lead, and always letting him be suppressed by me. Now A Jie can finally feel proud.I have always taken the "twin partner" for granted, and I feel that as long as I can film with Ajie, no matter the number of roles, I am very happy.But I neglected: what I was looking forward to was not necessarily what Ajie was looking forward to.Ajie, are you also blaming me for hindering you?You will never play with me again?

Huang Yu lobbied me to form a company with him to make a joint film.The first film we shot was called "Single Swordsman" and he and I co-starred in it.In the film, we are all one-armed knights.Although I am no longer playing Lei Li, and I don't want to play Lei Li again, I still have a little hope in my heart: Will Ajie think of the past, "The New Single Swordsman", and me when he sees this movie? ?

Most of the films I filmed on the island were shoddy, and I was not in the right shape when I was filming, so the box office was not ideal.The box office of "Single Swords and Two Heroes" was not satisfactory, and Zhao's company filed a lawsuit against Huang Yu on the grounds of infringement.

I always felt that after leaving Ajie, none of my careers went smoothly.Thinking of my first film "Ranger", the box office was not satisfactory. At that time, many people were not optimistic about me, but Director Zhang supported me, and Ajie was also encouraging: "Xiao Yi, you can do it! You are the most energetic and talented actor I have ever seen! Director Zhang's vision is unmistakable, you will definitely succeed!" Hearing Ajie's serious encouragement, all the haze was blown away.At that time, I was not afraid of failure. If I failed, Ajie would care about me more and care about me.

It turns out... I am so dependent on him!Now, I would love to hear his voice too, just to hear his voice.

I mustered up the courage to call Ajie's house.After a while of beeps, Ajie's voice came from the microphone: "Hello, who is it?"

I was so excited, my hands trembled, and I stammered: "Ah, Ajie, I..."

"Crack"!The phone hangs up.

hang up...

Tears burst out.I squatted on the ground slumped, like a small stone that no one paid attention to, was thrown aside at will, and no one thought of it again...

Feng Xiangjie

The box office of "Yingtai" was nearly half that of "Allure", which hit me hard.Could it be that without Xiao Yi, I can't afford the box office?Director Lee Han-sang also felt sorry for me, thinking that my performance in "Yingtai" was superb, but I was not recognized by the Taijima Golden Exhibition Award. I was only shortlisted but not awarded.Cooperating with director Chu Linyuan on "Moon Knife" made me regain my confidence all at once.Although there is still no breakthrough in the awards, the box office of the movie has surprised me, and it has surpassed the box office of my partner Xiaoyi.I can finally be alone, I can finally get rid of Xiao Yi's shadow, hahaha, I can finally get rid of him!

My whole body was full of vitality. When Director Zhang called me back to the island to shoot "Shaolin", I was even able to confidently smile at Xiao Yi.Keep it up like this, sooner or later, he will no longer cause any waves in my heart.

When filming "Chu Xiangshuai", I became good friends with Yue Hua, who played the villain, and we often drank together. He just married Ni Ni, an actress in the company.His first wife was Mr. Li Kuang's younger sister, Li Shu, a famous female writer in Hangcheng. After three years of marriage, she divorced for some reason.Probably because of the depression in his heart that was difficult to vent, he couldn't help but tell the reason why he divorced Li Shu after drinking.

"Because of her, Zheng Beier. Alas, I waited for her for three years, but she said she only regarded me as an older brother. We both came from Peking Opera troupes. I remember the first time we met. She was a female Wudan, and I was a secondary actor on the stage. The first The first time I saw her, I fell in love with her at first sight. We have been together for five years. I fought with Huang Yu for her, and then waited for her for three years. In the end, she married into a wealthy family in Daidao. After she got married, she did not Unhappy, her husband’s family wanted a boy. She was pregnant eight times, had four miscarriages, and gave birth to a boy the last time, but her body also collapsed. She wrote to me to complain, but was discovered by Li Shu. Li Shu was too staunch, I directly handed over the letter to the media for public publication, causing Zheng Beier's family to get divorced... Maybe I did something wrong at the beginning, I should have torn the letter to pieces in front of Li Shu, and promised not to have any contact with Zheng Beier again, instead of scolding Why did she open my letter privately, so that there will be no later incidents, and neither party will be hurt."

He took a sip of wine and continued: "I was at fault, but Li Shu was also at fault, causing Zheng Bei'er to divorce. The matter is irreversible, so I cannot forgive Li Shu. No matter how much she blames herself and regrets later, I still resolutely divorce her .Now I’m married to Ni Ni, and I hope I won’t make the same mistakes again in the future.”

"Yes, if you want to break it, you should break it cleanly, so that it won't hurt his family or your own family!" I looked at the wine in my hand and said to myself.

"If she lives happily, that's fine. But she's not happy, in my heart... Sigh!" He took a sip of wine: "I can only let myself not know any information about her, otherwise it will be unfair to my current wife. "

Yes, don't meet each other, don't seek any news about him, that's right!Xiao Yi didn't renew his contract with the company, but stayed on Daidao, so he didn't need to try his best to avoid him on Zhao's studio, it's very good, very good...

Halfway through the filming of "Chu Xiangshuai", another actor I am familiar with - Li Jing was added to the crew.

"We haven't cooperated for a long time!" I am very happy to see my old colleagues.She took a break from filming for a few years, and now she is back to make movies, she is still so gentle and moving.

"Well, we haven't cooperated since "New Single Swordsman"." Li Jing laughed and said, "I heard that Lei Yi and Huang Yu co-produced "Single Swordsman" in Daidao, and the protagonists of the two "Single Swordsman" gathered together. Together, they really are destined, haha!"

"Oh? Yes, is it?" I forced a smile.I don't want to hear Xiao Yi's name.

"Oh, how time flies! Nine years have passed since we first collaborated on "Blind Spot", and it seems like a lifetime away." Li Jing fell into reminiscence of the past: "At that time, you and Lei Yi were still young Boy, you are shy, he is withdrawn, you are always inseparable..."

All kinds of memories came flooding back: we invited Li Jing and Fang Fei to dinner, Xiao Yi argued with Fang Fei; The car was smashed, and Xiao Yi was stabbed in the abdomen because of me. He grabbed my collar and seemed to be calling my name, but he couldn't make any sound. The painful expression made me terrified.I kept calling his name, his body was covered in blood, his breath became weaker and weaker, and he was about to leave me... It was the first time I entered a play, the first time I was terrified of losing Xiao Yi!

I can't breathe, I can see him all over my mind, how can I not miss him?How can the brain stop functioning?How can I erase him from my memory?I can still feel his weak breathing when I hold him in my arms... It's obviously just an act, obviously it's all fake, why can't I forget it?

Not long after, when I answered a strange phone call, Xiao Yi's voice came from the opposite side:

"Ah, Ajie, I..."

"Crack"!I quickly hung up the phone.

His voice is horrible!I thought I had built an iron wall to defend my heart, but he just uttered a few words and called my name, and smashed my defense to pieces.
