I'm Not Shouldering This Blame

Li Fei's expression froze.

There was surprise in his eyes, as if seeing Jian Hua for the first time, he couldn't help but sized him up from head to toe.

After Jian Hua threw out those shocking words, he opened the menu of the coffee shop as if nothing had happened, and flipped through the menu. He was always at a disadvantage in the conversation just now, and was led away by Li Fei. It was not until he played cards unreasonably just now that the situation was reversed.

Besides—

Jian Hua narrowed his eyes slightly: He didn't think he could hide it.

When he answered the phone in the morning, Li Fei hadn't reported his identity yet, so he knew it. How familiar did Li Fei's voice have to be?

When she found out that Li Fei also possessed the secret of supernatural powers, Jian Hua was distracted by the magazine posters.

He has exposed too much...

After ordering a cup of American coffee, Jian Hua rang the bell and handed the menu back to the waiter. He didn't understand what these bitter brown drinks tasted like. Although Li Fei let him do whatever he wanted, after seeing the layout of the store, Jian Hua felt that not letting Li Fei lose more money was probably a way of showing friendliness.

Seeing Jian Hua pointing to the cheapest one, Li Fei laughed.

"You are very kind."

The film king has returned to his chattering and laughing appearance, but his brows are slightly frowned, as if he is worried about something.

In the warm and bright afternoon sun, they were talking about Star Entertainment Media and movies, and the atmosphere seemed pleasant and peaceful.The person who is confessed is not uncomfortable, but the person who utters the impolite words is even more calm.

When Assistant Lin arrived, he looked in surprise at the two chatting happily.

"Sorry, I'm late because of the high-speed traffic jam." Assistant Lin wiped his sweat while opening his briefcase and taking out the contract documents.

Assistant Lin has been by Li Fei's side for three years. Others don't know, but he still doesn't know?

The actor Li Fei is well-known in the industry for his good temper, but this is just Li Fei's "working status". The atmosphere is looking good right now, who knows what Li Fei is thinking?

This store is said to be opened by Li Fei, but in fact there is someone else who manages the store, and Li Fei is just investing.

Assistant Lin thought that when he came, he would only see Jian Hua who was foolishly waiting to sign the contract. How could Li Fei be in the mood to continue sitting here and chatting?The Internet is going crazy, Xiao Yaqin is still jumping around restlessly, the company is in a state of desperation, and is going to hold a press conference tomorrow to confirm that Li Fei is fine.

"This is my assistant, Lin Xiao."

"Hello." Assistant Lin felt his face hurt a little. Before he came, he told his agent that Jian Hua didn't have a good reputation. Those who knew him said that this guy was quite arrogant and didn't know how to behave. Like a human being, Li Fei will probably change his mind.

The manager didn't want Jian Hua because of Jian Hua's obvious advantages in appearance. It's not uncommon for people in the industry to step on the original owner and then make a debut. There are so many actors who can be stand-ins, so why choose this trouble.

As a result - it doesn't matter if I don't mention it, Li Fei is the one who has the final say.

Assistant Lin explained several key points of the contract as quickly as possible.

The exclusive stand-in actor is not the company's normal arrangement for artists. This is Li Fei's personal employment, and it is also managed by Star Entertainment Media in name. However, Jian Hua's remuneration is paid by Li Fei. almost.

Jian Hua didn't say that he had read it, but took it over and confirmed the terms, and then signed.

Then it was Li Fei's turn.

It is reasonable to say that the manager can sign on his behalf, but now that the manager is not there, Li Fei stretched out his hand again, and Assistant Lin can only hand over the pen obediently.

The thin black signature pen smoothly brought out the handwriting on the clean white paper, just above Jian Hua's well-behaved name.

Among the vines and green leaves filled with the mellow coffee aroma, the sun was shining brightly, and a contract was placed in the middle of the table——Assistant Lin looked at the two people with a strange expression. For some reason, he always felt that there was something wrong with this scene.

"Ten days later, I have a movie to start filming in Beijing. You go back and wait for the announcement, and then go to the set together." Li Fei spread his hands, expressing his helplessness, "I still have to show my face in front of the public and solve the trouble."

There are three copies of the contract, and one copy must be filed with the company.

Assistant Lin took out the ink pad and stamped it, neatly put away the document, and said to Jian Hua: "The confidentiality agreement of the crew will be signed at that time. We have added people here, and we have to say hello to the crew."

Of course Jian Hua had no objection, so the three of them stood up and bid farewell.

Li Fei handed the entertainment magazine in front of Jian Hua, and said meaningfully, "I've given it to you."

He held the magazine in a strange gesture, with his fingers pinching one of the pages, Jian Hua could look down and see the corner of the color picture in the magazine under his slender knuckles, which was the yellow and barren background color of "The Raven".

Jian Hua's pupils shrank, and after receiving the magazine, he turned and left without saying anything.

"This is also..." Assistant Lin was surprised. Under normal circumstances, let's not just watch them drive away, at least say goodbye, and compliments don't cost money.

Before he finished speaking, Lin Xiao caught a glimpse of Li Fei's gloomy eyes, and immediately swallowed all the words.

That night, Li Fei and his group set off back to Haicheng. When Assistant Lin was sound asleep and bodyguard Geng Tian was driving on the highway, Li Fei suddenly asked, "Geng Tian, ​​if you have a crush on a person, and What if you find out that the person actually likes the character you played?"

"Ah?" Geng Tian was surprised, the man from the Northeast had an innocent face, "Are you asking me?"

Li Fei glanced at him and sincerely apologized, "Sorry, I asked the wrong person."

In silence, Geng Tian rolled his eyes in the rearview mirror.

The street lights reflected into the car, making Li Fei's face uncertain. He closed his eyes and recalled the plot of the movie "The Crow".

The protagonist, General Wu, is a general who is stationed at the dangerous pass. He is very heroic and deeply loved by his soldiers.

The vassal king rebelled and sent his subordinates to conspire to seize the city. As a result, the plan was halfway through, but an accident happened-the plague suddenly broke out in the city. This is an important town in the western frontier. Separated.

If it fails here, the feudal lord's plan for many years will be interrupted, and his ambition has been exposed, and he will be punished by the court.

The strategists who swear allegiance to the feudal king to the death, and the civil servants and military generals who want to catch the rebellion are fighting wits and courage.

His good friend, General Wu, a doctor in the city, found that the plague had spread, but the gate of the city was blocked because of the rebellious search, so he led soldiers and rushed out overnight to protect the people who were willing to flee.

The rebels occupied the city, sealed off the block where the epidemic was prevalent, and allowed the people to die. In order to cover up the fact that the city fell, they sent people to hunt down and kill General Wu to silence him.

The civil servant who defected and rebelled wrote to the imperial court, saying that General Wu had taken the people to the north and fled to the desert grassland, and he might seek refuge with the Xiongnu.

The two sides chased and killed, blood stained the armor.

In desperation, he tried to tell about the plague, but no one believed him.

In the end, those who fled found a hidden valley and settled down here.

The movie is in flashback mode. Many years later, a group of little people who ran around the rivers and lakes heard the legend of General Wu, a ghost in the frontier. They said that General Wu was brave and fierce. He once led a hundred cavalry to kill thousands of officers and soldiers. They found the treasure in the prairie, so they followed the clues to search all the way, lost their way when encountering wind and sand, came to the nearby valley by accident, and were rescued by the people in the valley.

As a result, there is no treasure, no bloodthirsty general Wu.

They heard a very different story, a tragic past.

In the valley, there was an old man with a missing leg. He used to be the personal guard of General Wu. He asked about the situation outside.

The outsiders and the people in the valley collided and made up the past of the year—half a month after the city was closed, there was a sudden heavy rain in Shu, the plague was probably not under control, and Xiongguan became a dead city.This happened after General Wu "treasoned the country". The general who had chased and killed General Wu and survived vowed that this was cursed by General Wu.

The vassal king successfully usurped the throne, deliberately concealed this period of history, and chose a new site to build a new city.

For decades, there have been legends about General Ghost Crow in the frontier. When people saw dark crows sitting on the branches, they would drive them away in a hurry. People believed that the crow was the incarnation of General Crow and would bring disasters and diseases.

-

"It was also a day when there was a sandstorm. The chasing soldiers caught up with us. General Wu took the rest of the brothers to the rear, and the wounded soldiers followed the people. But after the sandstorm subsided, the yellow sand covered everything. We searched all over the area. Baili, I have never seen the general's body... Or, he has already been reduced to dry bones."

Jian Hua could memorize this line verbatim.

He had watched the movie ten times, and the old man on the screen had tears on his face full of dimples.

The camera zoomed out, showing the desert outside the oasis valley, the wind and sand filled the sky, General Wu, who was holding a broken halberd and armor, was covered in blood.

His sharp eyes suddenly softened, he smiled slightly towards the valley, and walked towards the blood-colored sunset alone, with crows making noise behind him, and they landed on the dry Populus euphratica tree one after another.

The camera gradually dimmed, and the figure gradually became nothingness.

Once the wind blows, it ceases to exist, leaving only the vast world, the leisurely world.

Whenever the lights came up and the end credits came on, someone could be heard crying in the theater.

When they walked out of the movie theater, they left the story. Since Jian Hua entered the crew of "The Crow" and saw Li Fei standing in front of the camera and entering the scene, he never walked out.

Li Fei's acting skills are superb and superb. Not only are the actors who acted with him forced to show [-]% of their abilities, but even the crew will have a sore nose because of a scene segment.

No one else can play General Wu better.

But Li Fei is not General Wu, every time the director finishes calling the card, Li Fei plays, chatting and laughing happily with others, Jian Hua's heart is empty, as if he has lost something important.

This is why he initially hesitated to sign with Li Fei.

The actor is a good person, but he fell in love with the role played by the actor.

——No, it was the role he had the opportunity to play with Li Fei.

Although there are not many appearances and a lot of cuts, Jian Hua tries his best to act every part of the plot that needs a substitute. Just like Li Fei said, even if it is not a few seconds of frontal shots, Jian Hua will show the charm of the characters. Well grasped, even after so long, Li Fei is still impressed by this stuntman.

Of course, who doesn't have a deep understanding of the "person" who occupies his entire mind?

Jian Hua tore off the poster of the magazine, pasted it on the bedside, and looked at it for a long time.
