It's my first time being a cat

The clip of "Summer in the Floating City" was played over and over again on the TV, and Gu Jingyao's wine glass shook slightly, reflecting his slightly green face on the screen.

He didn't move for a long time, looking at the screen intently, his eyes seemed to be frozen in the past time and space through the screen.

Gu Jingyao seems to be missing someone, this is the message Zhu Xiaoming read from his eyes.

The silver-gray cat lay beside Gu Jingyao's hand, raised its head and looked at its owner with its eyes. The colorful light spots refracted in the glass fell on the cat's silver-gray fur, making it look like it was covered by a layer of light. blue shadow.

The tips of Zhu Xiaoming's ears trembled slightly following the lines played in the movie.

He has watched this movie several times, and he can memorize every line. Of course, he is not familiar with every movie that Gu Jingyao has participated in, but the summer in Fucheng has something special for him. significance.

Probably similar to Gu Jingyao, Zhu Xiaoming can always recall past stories through this movie.

Floating City is a typical immigrant city. It is located south of the Tropic of Cancer. The streets and alleys are full of mixed accents, and the hot and humid weather makes it even more strange.

It seems that a cloud of misty fog has evaporated from the ground, and the images in the camera are unpredictable, fluttering and flickering, making the neon signboards and banana leaves on the roadside show strong colors.

The story of "Summer in the Floating City" unfolds in such a scene. The down-and-out artist A Ming, played by Gu Jingyao, decides to give up painting due to reality, and follows his fellow countrymen all the way to the Floating City to seek a living, because the city is full of floating people. , People call it the floating city.

Amin found a painting job under the introduction of a fellow villager, and painted in front of a row of white walls. He used the wall as a canvas, secretly painted a few graffiti when no one was around, and then Covering it with wall paint has become Amin's unknown pleasure.

When Xiaoli, the daughter of the tailor shop owner, was sitting in front of the window and stepping on the sewing machine line, she accidentally looked up and discovered Amin's secret. Xiaoli was born deaf and dumb and could not speak. Li secretly embroidered Amin's graffiti, and since then, Xiaoli has her own secret.

One day, Amin used inferior wall paint, and the graffiti on his back was exposed after the heavy rain washed him away, causing him to be scolded by his boss. During the gesture, he received encouragement for the first time. Some people said that his paintings are beautiful.

Therefore, apart from the inexplicable water vapor in the summer in the floating city, it has a more special meaning for these two young people...

Zhu Xiaoming quarreled with his family during the summer vacation at highschool, and sneaked out with a few Chinese classmates, but they left him at the first stop of the trip, Fucheng.

They joked that he was a bespectacled boy who lacked love, couldn't live without his family, and wanted to go on a long trip, which was simply a burden.

Zhu Xiaoming wandered the streets of Fucheng dragging his suitcase, like an abandoned puppy.

He didn't understand why everyone was still happily discussing the next itinerary before boarding the plane, but why in a blink of an eye, the classmates dropped him.

Zhu Xiaoming bought a lunch with cash. After eating, he found that the suitcase he had placed beside him was gone. He was so anxious that he almost cried. However, after trying to communicate with the boss in English, he realized that in a place like Fucheng, it is not easy to lose things. It was so normal that the police couldn't get it back, and most of his money and clothes were in that suitcase.

Zhu Xiaoming squatted under the neon signs of the floating city with his knees in his arms, and began to think about whether he was really a burden as his classmates said. He bit his mouth and didn't want to cry, but he was abandoned by his friends in a foreign country. For high school students who are not yet adults, it is really scary.

Zhu Xiaoming sat until dusk, felt the protest from his stomach, and realized that he should eat something, but he had no money on him, and the police here ignored him completely, and Zhu Xiaoming didn't know what to do...

It was at this time that he met Gu Jingyao.

The 20-year-old Gu Jingyao is not as annoying as he is now, but his temper is still very strange. He seems to have quarreled with the director because of a play, and he ran out alone to relax. thought.

Gu Jingyao walked up behind him, touched Zhu Xiaoming's ass with his leg still in costume, and said, "Glass boy, what are you doing sitting on the side of the road, let me get out of the way."

Who knows that Zhu Xiaoming was detonated by this sentence, and immediately exploded. He is not tall, but he is very angry. He stood up and raised his head and shouted at Gu Jingyao: "I'm not a guy with glasses!!"

Gu Jingyao couldn't help laughing, and leaned forward, reached out and took away the dull big-rimmed glasses on Zhu Xiaoming's face, hung them on his fingers and twirled them: "You are so young, you just talk nonsense, why, leave home run away?"

Who knew that as soon as he finished speaking, the fierce cat-like child with his teeth bared in front of him suddenly shrugged his mouth and began to cry.

Zhu Xiaoming cried so sad that people around him looked sideways. Gu Jingyao never thought that he would really bully people into crying, so he touched his nose in embarrassment, and quickly put back the glasses for Zhu Xiaoming, persuading him in a low voice: "Don't cry!" Well, everyone else is watching..."

Zhu Xiaoming sniffed, his stomach growled, he turned his head in embarrassment, his eye circles were still red, Gu Jingyao had no choice but to take the child back to the set and apologize with his boxed lunch.

Zhu Xiaoming didn't want to go home, nor did he want to find those classmates who abandoned him. It was the first time he saw the crew making a movie. The person who bullied him was actually the leading actor in the movie. Xiao Gong.

Gu Jingyao's bullying of him was known by the director of "Summer in the Floating City", and after he taught him a lesson, Gu Jingyao didn't dare to provoke Zhu Xiaoming anymore. The two of them didn't have much interaction afterwards, but when the weather was hot, Zhu Xiaoming would Hiding under the director's parasol to enjoy the shade, peeking at the monitor by the way, commenting on Gu Jingyao's play.

"Cut, it's nothing serious, the acting is not right at all." Zhu Xiaoming raised his mouth to criticize, but unexpectedly, he was heard by the female director sitting in front of him.

The female director squinted her eyes, half of her tanned face was exposed under the brim of her wide hat, and asked him with a smile: "Do you think he acted wrong?"

At that time, Zhu Xiaoming was not afraid of tigers when he was a newborn calf. He didn't know that Gu Jingyao was the youngest international movie star in China. As soon as he lifted his chin, he said, "He looks directly at the heroine's eyes and doesn't like her at all. When he likes someone, he will definitely be shy." !"

The female director was overjoyed, she turned her head and asked Gu Jingyao what she thought.

Gu Jingyao raised his eyebrows and dismissed it. It's true that he can't act in a love scene, but he can't listen to a kid.

Who knew that the director actually said that Zhu Xiaoming was savvy and understood better than Gu Jingyao. Gu Jingyao was so angry that he gnashed his teeth and changed his acting.

"You glasses guy, you're quite good at puppy love."

Zhu Xiaoming pouted and retorted angrily: "I don't have puppy love!"

Although the life with the crew was very hard and made Zhu Xiaoming tan, "Summer in the Floating City" is a very interesting crew, especially Gu Jingyao and the female director.

Gu Jingyao's acting is very tense. Although he is a blank sheet of paper in love, he can show it in front of the camera as long as he has said the scene once. When Zhu Xiaoming peeks from the monitor, he often feels that A Ming is watching It's not the heroine, but him, who makes him dare not look at each other.

And that female director is also very special, her lens seems to be able to speak, the rich floating city style and the ignorant emotions of young men and women are well controlled, as if surging with infinite vitality, but such a special style has never been seen again.

Zhu Xiaoming couldn't figure it out. Logically speaking, this level should not be unknown, and I don't know if the female director has retired. What's even more strange is that the film "Summer in the Floating City" obviously didn't involve any sensitive topics. But it was almost banned in China, and few people knew about it.

Thinking about it now, Zhu Xiaoming still thinks this experience is amazing.

If his parents hadn't found out that he had run away from home, checked the flight information and flew over to find him, Zhu Xiaoming thought, maybe he would have stepped into the showbiz a few years earlier.

Zhu Xiaoming wagged his tail leisurely, followed the impression in his memory, and said the last line of the movie in his heart.

Amin left the floating city by boat, ready to pursue his dream of being an artist. Xiaoli did not keep him, nor did she choose to go with him. They bid farewell at the pier, but they didn’t feel sad. The sunrise fell on Amin’s shoulders, He waved his hands vigorously, as if he also liked Xiaoli very vigorously.Xiaoli threw a handkerchief at him with Amin's graffiti embroidered on it. She felt that she was not sending away a former lover, but a dream chaser.

The floating city is not for you, Amin.

Xiaoli's smiling eyes have the reflection of the floating city, like a neon signboard, like the morning light behind Amin.

The ship set off, and in the siren of the sailing, Amin shouted: "Goodbye! Goodbye!"

Zhu Xiaoming followed silently in his heart.

"Goodbye...goodbye..." Gu Jingyao's lips opened and closed slightly, and they closed his lips softly on the young man on the screen, but what he expressed was a completely different mood.

Gu Jingyao's hand holding the wine glass fell naturally as the screen turned black, and rows of rolling names in the credits fell into his eyes, as if countless shooting stars flashed.

For some reason, Zhu Xiaoming felt that at this moment, Gu Jingyao was like himself who was thrown in the floating city that day. Even though the streets were full of passers-by, there was only loneliness and hugging around him.

He suddenly wanted to give Gu Jingyao a hug, but he was just a cat.

When the movie came to an end, Gu Jingyao felt the warmth from his fingertips. He turned his head sideways and saw his cat rubbing its cheek against the back of his hand. The silver-gray fluff was warm, like a dream.

Zhu Xiaoming: I fell in love early, but I didn’t know it(?)
