Drunken Master

Mr. Pei Zhixun's trip this time is actually going to New York to participate in the exchange activities of the Council of the Chinese-American Playwrights Association. He took his wife Xu Qishang and followed the official team to settle in several big cities on the East Coast of the United States.The two are also very busy at ordinary times. They often go on business trips at home and abroad or attend events. These specific itineraries are generally not explained to their sons, and both parties are busy with their own affairs.

That's why I rushed to San Diego to visit my son in time, and took another flight back home together.

When Pei Yan returned to China, he took a special passage at the airport, used a stretcher car and then loaded it into the nanny car, leaving behind a group of movie fans who came to visit him with flowers and gifts, chasing after the car...

After that, he did have a truce for nearly a month, without starting work or showing up.After he told Wang Yuanling to suppress all his work, he wanted to rest, let himself go, and think about some things carefully.

In fact, he got up from the hospital bed a long time ago, he was alive and kicking again, and he could go for a run and play ball in Wang Jue's fitness club.He spent every evening in his buddy's gym, playing squash with Wang Jue, and chatting without drinking too much.

He leaned back on the rest chair, stretched out his long legs, hot sweat flowed down from the top of his head along with his scorching heart.

Wang Jue threw away the racket and came to sit with him.This man is also a guy with five big and three thick muscles and a body of iron lumps. He is heavy and heavy wherever he sits.

"Isn't it easy to go out for a while?" Wang Jue patted his thigh and said, "Look at your virtue of being yellow, thin and haggard."

"That's right," Pei Yan looked forward a little bit, "I feel haggard because of Yixiao, that's how it feels."

"Is it true?" Wang Jue said incredulously, "You?!"

"I really miss it." Pei Yan confessed.

"Fuck... Hurry up and buy a plane ticket before going back!" Wang Jue said.

"After all, the distance is too far... People didn't take the initiative to contact me, so they didn't care about me... I think there is nothing to do." Pei Yan said melancholy.

"I've never seen you like this." Wang Jue stared at him, "Are you serious? Then go."

"I think about it again, should I retreat in spite of the difficulties or...face the difficulties." Pei Yan stared at the solid and unbreakable wall opposite him.That wall just looks like it can't be broken. If you smash it with your bare hands, you will definitely see blood, and you can't be too rough.

In other words, Uncle Johnny is very interesting. He worked tirelessly to find a few bags of garbage packed and thrown in the corridor of the emergency department of the hospital that day, and found a piece of bloody clothing. , I think it should be this one.

Johnny Wu later told him that dried blood is not easy to test, but I checked for you, and Mr. Zhuang is type AB.People with this blood type have weird personalities, and it is difficult to guess.

Pei Yan said, I'm type O, I don't blame it, everyone loves me.

Johnny Wu shook his head, hehe, you are the worst, you kid is so stubborn and stupid.

……

"Hey, is your figure good? It attracts you very much?" Wang Jue laughed at this moment, showing off his strong and dark muscles on his shoulders and arms, "How do you compare with me?"

"He's a nice guy, he's very handsome, and he's got a good figure, which is very attractive to me." Pei Yan rolled his eyes at the other party, "You can't help practicing too much, you can't beat me in a round, it's boring...I won't play anymore."

"What kind of virtue are you? It's interesting enough to practice with you. I charge [-] for an hour of private training, okay?" Wang Jue glared at him.

"You can be wanted by someone like you!... You won't be able to sell it even if you put it on the market!"

His buddy sent him a sentence.

Pei Yan always has her eyes above her head, and no one looks down on her. It's rare to come across a dish that suits her stomach.If it was Zhuang Xiao, there would still be a fight between you and me. Playing basketball is more interesting than practicing with others.

It's just that the other party's mind is unpredictable, and if he stays away, he doesn't give him any chance.A person with that kind of personality is not someone who can be hooked up casually. He dare not do things that are disrespectful or disrespectful.

……

Back in the company, he listened attentively to the lectures of the old godfathers and aunts, and made the next development plan for him.

Wang Yuanling touched this bright bald head, her eyes were full of love and affection: "Going out for a trip, and getting injured and sick, we can't go out for nothing! This time, even if we have gained some fame, if there is a chance in the future, the company will return Will fight for the project over there for you."

Pei Yan's heart moved, and she agreed very happily: "Okay."

Zhang Huan said: "Old Pei, you are very good, you are 'another kung fu star who has successfully landed in Hollywood and been appreciated by big productions after Zhuang Xiao'..."

"Don't." Pei Yan knew that Zhang Huan was about to throw out another long story to harden him, so he quickly blocked the other party's train of thought, "Don't compare me with Zhuang Xiao, I am far behind him, are you trying to catch his popularity?"

"Who is chasing whose popularity?" Zhang Huan smiled, "You are more popular and popular than him in China now! If you don't post news for a few days, your popularity will drop; if you don't show up in China for a few months, the audience will have already forgotten about this person If you don’t fill in this position, who can fill it in?”

Last time, Zhang Huan had explained to him and apologized to him, and the draft of the hype was quietly withdrawn, and the flag died down.But Pei Yan realized that she didn't like to listen to Zhang Huan's speech, especially when it came to Zhuang Xiao, every time she poked his uncomfortable acupuncture points?

"This is also the truth." Wang Yuanling said tactfully, "With your image, there are not many traffic rookies who can compete with you. Others have this face, but they can't beat you. You can fill this position. You can keep going up."

Pei Yan understood that the old aunt and Zhang Huan had the right idea, and they were racking their brains to pave the way for him. No one had any malice towards him, so everyone can earn money together.But, he was thinking about other things...

Wang Yuanling also said: "I will also give you the opportunity to act in a cooperation drama with a big TV station, such as the role of a Chinese actor in "The Knight of the Distant Star."

Pei Yan opened her drowsy eyes as soon as she heard it: "Isn't it the TV series that Zhuang Xiao participated in?"

This is Fox TV's signature drama, a sci-fi hero action movie. It has been filmed for several years, and Zhuang Xiao has starred in at least three seasons.This drama was popular in the United States, and then moved to China. No matter the original English version or the translated version with subtitles, it is very popular on the Internet. Pei Yan is quietly following this drama, never ending an episode.

Pei Yan said, "Are you kidding me?"

Zhang Huan and the others said to him seriously: "I'm not joking with you. We are looking for an opportunity to talk, and let you join in!"

Pei Yan's cold thoughts were stirred up again by a faint flame.On the table in the conference room are the company's supper and snacks, Ma Xiaohe and Chuan Chuan Xiang.

"The film "Dragon Fighting the Sky" has also been postponed for some reason. The other leading actor has a problem, and the Internet is tearing it up. The postponement just coincides with your schedule. It's right, baby, you are ready to join the group next month! "Wang Yuanling used two fingers to pull the crayfish on the big plate in front of him. A group of people surrounded the table, and their fingers began to chatter and eat.

Pei Yan ate quickly, and soon unloaded a pile of shells.

"Master, is there anything else you don't like?" The assistant's fingers were slow and he couldn't grab it.

"I'm physically exhausted." Pei Yan kept chewing, like a squirrel, peeling the shell with her fingers.

"Is there too much sneaking and masturbation at night?" the assistant said, "You also let the dick rest for a while."

"..."

"Get out!!" Pei Yan picked up a skewer and was about to throw it out.The assistant boy ran away from the shooting range with an "Aww", so as not to be nailed to the wall by a bamboo stick.

The base of the ear was a little hot, and the ear with the stud suddenly turned red.

He felt that he was the one who felt uncomfortable when he was nailed to the wall, and what made him feel uncomfortable when someone poked him - he just masturbated too much sneakily at night, and he still wanted to masturbate to a certain person.

There was still some time before the crew of "Dragon Fighting the Sky Pass" started. Pei Yan contacted Zhuang Xiao that day, but sent a WeChat message instead of calling.

People are like this, the longer the brewing, the fuller the emotion, but they don't know what to say, and the two go straight.

Pei Yan said: [Are you in Los Angeles?I'll come over here. 】

Zhuang Xiao replied to him: [On the set, not far from home, what's the matter? 】

Pei Yan: [I'll just stay for two days, come over to relax and take a look at you, don't you mind? 】

Zhuang Xiao: 【Mind what?You do it. 】

Pei Yan: [Tomorrow I will contact you and invite you to dinner. 】

Pei Yan smiled involuntarily, stared at the screen, and typed an extremely childish emoji. She didn't expect someone like Zhuang Xiao to reply with an emoji.Whenever the brain is occupied by one person, the capacity will be insufficient, and the IQ will start to arrears, what a fool.

Unexpectedly, Zhuang Xiao sent him a second-time video, blowing him out of beauty...

Shit, that workaholic is on set, and it's the action crew burning the midnight oil.Looking at the set, it seems to be the crew of "Knights of the Distant Stars". A simulated space capsule model rack tens of meters high is erected on the empty field, and stuntmen in black armor uniforms are wandering around in the camera lens, just like the set is haunted , the lights in the distance are brilliant.

Pei Yan stared at it several times: [Which one is you? 】

Zhuang Xiao said: [I'm making videos! 】

Pei Yan said in her heart, I just want to watch you if you let the people next to you take pictures, why should I watch others?

After typing out half a line, I silently deleted it.

……

When they met again, it was the evening of the next day, Zhuang Xiao was driving home after the show, and happened to pick up Mr. Pei who had come all the way.

"Why didn't you tell me the flight time?" Zhuang Xiao poked his head out of the car window, snuffed out the cigarette, and combed his hair neatly.The smile is still so calm and charming, making people unable to see through the heart at a glance, but it always makes people want to look deeply into those eyes and touch their hearts.

"I don't want you to pick me up at the airport. I don't want to delay your filming." Pei Yan was alone with a bag, wearing an ordinary shirt and jeans, and was full of dust.He showed a trademark sloppy smile on his face: "I've been out for a few days, sorry for the trouble, thank you for taking me in!"

Zhuang Xiao said, "Come and disturb me at will."

Pei Yan was not polite: "I don't know the place where I live, and I don't know anyone. I really have no other place to go."

The location of the Los Angeles studio makes it very convenient for these actors in the circle to come and go. When they get off work, they go home after work. They all live in satellite cities that are one or two hours away by car.Those celebrities who pay attention to ostentation may go back directly by private jet. Zhuang Xiao doesn't have much ostentation, so he drives a car by himself.

"Are you idle? Or come over to do something?" Zhuang Xiao asked him:

"Old Wu asked me to come over for an audition again, to meet the director," Pei Yan said vaguely, "If you don't write a word, you may not be able to negotiate."

He asked the other party: "Are you still going to the set tomorrow? Can I go to visit the set? Watch the big production scene, anyway, I'm free."

Zhuang Xiao said: "I have transferred this week's work break to tomorrow, and I will entertain you."

"That's interesting." Pei Yan covered half of his face with a baseball cap and smiled, "Hurry up and smoke a cigarette, I allow you to smoke one and don't hold back! Open the window and open the window!"

He turned his head to look at Zhuang Xiao's handsome profile against the setting sun, and couldn't help but ask, "Are you tired? I can drive."

Zhuang Xiao said, "I'm not tired."

"Oh—you can't borrow other people's hands to drive the car, forget about it." Pei Yan teased, "Only two things can't be lent out, the car can't be borrowed by others to drive, and the wife can't be borrowed by others."

"You say that, let alone let you drive." Zhuang Xiao snorted, "Without a daughter-in-law, this old car is the only thing left that will never leave!"

The evening sun shines through the car window, casting an ordinary and vivid luster in front of me.

Obviously, the temperature of the sunset is the same as usual every evening. It has been like this for more than 20 years, but it happens to be at a certain turning corner on the road ahead, which makes people feel different from before.

Dissociated to the edge of the flowery and beautiful Vanity Fair, this place is closer to the peaceful and real life of ordinary people.There is a strong contrast between the grand performance plans and career ambitions in the company and the mediocrity of wandering on the way home at this time.When Pei Yan tried to break into Hollywood, and desperately wanted to get acquainted with Zhuang Xiao, his mentality at that time had quietly deviated from the track compared to now... However, he is still desperately trying to "get to know" each other, and his mentality and purpose are completely different. It's the same, but it also leads to the same goal.

The boundless scenery of Hollywood stars that ordinary people can imagine, for actors like him and Zhuang Xiao, it is superficially vigorous, but this road is actually extremely hard.Pei Yan did the calculations for herself, and stayed on the set for a few months without hesitation. After a serious illness, the US dollars she earned might not be as good as going back to China to pick up a few variety shows and fake running and flopping.If he came again, it would not be for fame and fortune, and he felt that Zhuang Xiao would not be for money either.

In a big production, the leading actor took tens of millions of dollars, and the supporting actors only had hundreds of thousands of dollars each. Whoever came here to make money would have died here long ago.

Zhuang Xiao took him back to his home in Irvine, and then called a small group of local acquaintances and friends to have dinner together.

They are all a group of Chinese, their own people, and they get to know each other after a few words.I found a Japanese-style tavern, where sake is paired with sushi and seafood, and the atmosphere is very cozy.Pei Yan actually only wanted to see Zhuang Xiao, and had no interest in other people, but she understood Mr. Zhuang's kindness, and was afraid that he would be lonely and bored, so she took him out to meet friends.

Pei Yan can drink.Anyone with a bold temper at the wine table can easily make friends with friends.

"Aren't you unfamiliar with the place in life? Now that you know someone, you will never be homeless and have no place to stay when you come next time." Zhuang Xiao told him.

"I just came to settle down, and you just want to get rid of the burden?" Pei Yan looked at the other party.

"No burden, we don't have wine at home." Zhuang Xiao said, "There is no half a bottle of wine! You go to my house and pry open the floor, dig it out, and you won't be able to dig out what you want to drink."

Pei Yan lowered her eyelashes and smiled, I came all the way to your house, did I want to "pry" the floor of your house?

Among the friends who ate together, there was this fair-skinned and big-eyed young man, who was quite good-looking, named Liang Youhui.Zhuang Xiao pointed to that one, and introduced to Pei Yan: "You go to him, his house has all kinds of wine if you don't take advantage of anything else."

Liang Youhui is in the local wine business in California. He has a cheerful personality and loves to play. He speaks loudly. The two sides got acquainted after chatting for a night.Mr. Liang was well dressed, and he also wore a diamond earring on his left ear. Pei Yan scrutinized the opponent from head to toe for a few rounds, and found that the opponent also looked at his chest and lower body secretly, so he knew it.

He looks good, has a good hip shape, and looks special at first glance, but it's not his taste.

He wondered, why did Zhuang Xiao introduce such a friend to him?

Did Zhuang Xiao see it?

Liang Youhui brought a few bottles of good wine very interestingly, and drank his eyes dimly: "I feel very frustrated when I associate with you, Brother Xiao, I can't even offer you a bribe with such good things! You are just a drop Don't even touch it!"

Zhuang Xiao squinted at the other party: "Not interested, that's not good."

Liang Youhui smiled: "Which one is your favorite, I really want to know."

Zhuang Xiao: "Haven't you seen it?"

Liang Youhui shook his head: "I really haven't seen your mouth, we haven't seen it!"

Zhuang Xiao guided Pei Yan for him: "You can drink at the same table with Lao Pei, which can give you a special sense of accomplishment. When you return to China, you can start his business and earn his money."

The few bottles of good wine that Liang Youhui brought had made Mr. Pei drink to the bottom, and he could greet him with any brand and quality of wine.Liang Youhui picked out a bottle of the vintage and the best tasting one, poured a glass and pushed it in front of Zhuang Xiao.

"Brother Xiao, this wine is really good. I'm in this business, and I don't like friends.

"Those who haven't drank it, haven't tasted it, it's a loss, it's a waste of life!"

Liang Youhui looked at Zhuang Xiao and seduced him with wine.Zhuang Xiao didn't answer this, he didn't move his fingers, it was useless to tease him, he just refused to drink.

Brother Xiao.

Pei Yan recited these two words silently in her heart, dozens of times in one night.

He unceremoniously cut off the glass of red wine as a table, drank it for Zhuang Xiao, and drank it down...

The two sat on the same sofa seat, next to each other, needless to say nonsense, just felt a step closer than others, although there was no real closeness.

When he went to the bathroom to relieve his hand, Zhuang Xiao said to him: "Liang Youhui usually hangs out in Chaoyang District, very close to you. He is a good guy, and his business is reliable."

Pei Yan adjusted the waistband of her trouser chains, looked up at Zhuang Xiao: "Is he crooked? Like."

"Maybe, I haven't asked carefully, and I haven't met his friends." Zhuang Xiao's lips were expressionless, "His partner seems to be from Tianjin, so you're half a fellow?"

Pei Yan hung up and down in one breath, ups and downs for a few rounds, and then thought that Zhuang Xiao probably didn't notice it, and was just introducing a friend at the wine table in a normal way.Zhuang Xiao didn't particularly care about other people's private life, and he didn't dig into it. It was because he thought too much... The mood of worrying about gains and losses was killing him.
