Chapter 42
Chapter 42
The story happened in the Republic of China.
The protagonist, Ah Man, was born in an ordinary family. In addition to his parents, he also had an older sister.Because my elder sister was born good-looking, she was favored by the young master of a wealthy family, so the whole family supported her and hoped to rely on her to turn over.However, compared with her sister's appearance, Ah Man is simply a monster.
"Aman's face was scalded, and the flesh on the left side of his face was twisted and dark red. So he made himself a mask and didn't take it off at home."
And the main reason why this boy became vicious was that the person who scalded him was none other than Manying—his sister.
The person who made him live like a monster, was bullied and insulted, and gradually became afraid to go out, was his closest relative.Although Manying didn't intend to.
Bai Yan heard a little sad, "Then he must hate Manying very much."
"That's right, this is a not-so-kind story." Liu Ji took a sip of his wine, and continued the previous words, "You know, Manying is a life-saving straw on the edge of a cliff for their family, so, Ah Man's parents are towards Manying."
Finally, when Aman cursed that Manying would die in the gutter draining slops, the last trace of sympathy from his parents was wasted.They scolded him and beat him, but the more they beat him, the more vicious the curses came from Ah Man's mouth.He felt that he was living in a place where he could not breathe. People said that home is the warmest harbor.But he only felt the boundless cold, and the darkness without a ray of light.
Ah Man ran away from home and went to work as a flower girl in a well-meaning owner's shop.The first thing he does when he wakes up every day is to put on his mask and carry a bouquet of flowers to sell on the street.The boss will give him enough food, and also pack up the attic for him to live in.But one night, the boss sneaked into his room in the dark and put his dry hands into his quilt. He knew that there are no really good people in the world.Behind all good intentions, there is an ugly heart.
"He was pushed into another abyss." Liu Ji sat on the bench with his legs apart, his upper body leaning forward slightly - this is a posture with a sense of oppression.
"And then?" Bai Yan's heart was suspended, "Did he run away?"
Liu Ji shook his head, "He obeyed the owner of the flower shop and survived by relying on his relationship. Because the day after he was raped, Manying got married. He looked at the white wedding dress on Manying and thought it ruined the wedding. The person in his life does not deserve to have all this. So, he began to take revenge."
After that, Ah Man began to take revenge on Man Ying, and even told several hooligans about Man Ying's whereabouts.Let her suffer things ten times more painful than herself.
"Hasn't he ever had a happy event?"
"Every morning at the entrance of the flower shop, there will be a pot of magnolia flowers for him. This is the only color in Ah Man's life." Liu Ji paused, and added, "But after Manying committed suicide, those flowers never came back. Never showed up."
"So, Manying is the owner of Magnolia Flower?"
Liu Ji nodded, Man Ying was the one who turned Ah Man's life into darkness, and it was Man Ying who brought him the only color.And in the end, it was Ah Man himself who killed the color with his own hands.
"I didn't bring the script today, so I can only tell you the outline. I hope you don't mind."
Bai Yan withdrew from the grief of the story, "Of course not. Thank you, Director Liu, for being willing to talk to me so much."
"You are too polite. The reason why I am so detailed is to tell you that the role of Ah Man is very difficult to play. It is true that he has strong emotions, but he will always wear a mask, and the emotions of actors may not be conveyed." come out."
Bai Yan kept rubbing the pad of his index finger against the nail of his thumb, as if lost in thought, "Is he wearing it at home?"
"Yes. Because of low self-esteem, he dare not look in the mirror."
Bai Yan rubbed his hands, pondered the words in his heart, and finally decided to speak: "Director Liu, it might be a bit impolite to say so. But I still want to express my opinion."
"please say."
"If I were Ah Man, I would choose not to wear a mask in front of Manying."
"Why?" Liu Ji was a little surprised by this statement.
Bai Yan put himself in his shoes and thought for a while, a bright light flashed in his eyes, "Because he wants to take revenge on Manying."
Liu Ji didn't interrupt, but motioned him to continue.
"He hated Manying, and Manying felt guilty for hurting him, as evidenced by that pot of magnolia flowers. Therefore, the way he punished Manying was to expose all the hideous wounds, to make her afraid, to make her She repents. He will show all the sharp blades on his body in front of Manying, and say, 'The one who turned me into a monster is my sister', 'I will never get better in my life, how can you pretend that nothing happened Woolen cloth'."
After finishing speaking, he nodded humbly, "That's it. But these are all my own thoughts, and I'm playing tricks in front of you."
Liu Ji was silent for a long time, staring into Bai Yan's eyes, as if he had been watching for a long night, finally looking forward to the sunrise.
"I will ask my assistant to send the script over tomorrow. I think we need to discuss it in depth."
In-depth discussion—in other words, he passed this level? !
Bai Yan looked at Liu Ji's outstretched hand in disbelief, and quickly stretched out his hand as well. At the moment of handcuffing, a certain seed in his heart seemed to sprout and break out of the ground.
"Ok."
"But this drama is still in the preparation stage, so I hope you can keep this conversation a secret."
"no problem!"
Liu Ji paused for a moment on his agile eyes, and sighed: "Zhihui mentioned you to me before, saying that you are very agile, but today, I have really experienced it."
"Ah, is that so?" Bai Yan scratched his hair in embarrassment—isn't he a man with a bad temper?
"of course."
"Mr. has always been more tolerant to me."
"It should be between husband and wife."
Bai Yan was startled - of course there should be a relationship between husband and wife, but their marriage is a contract of three pieces of paper, which is fake.He vaguely felt that this tolerance seemed to be true.
They talked for a long time, in addition to introducing the script, they also talked about many small daily things.
For example, Lu Zhihui used to have close relatives with Liu Ji, so he called Liu Ji "Uncle Liu".For example, Lu Zhihui is not only good at doing business, but also good at painting.For example, Lu Zhihui's love life is so ordinary, he only had one boyfriend.
Bai Yan forgot when they got off topic, but surprisingly, these little things about Lu Zhihui made him very interested.The clock quickly turned to 05:30, Liu Ji indicated that he would talk to his old friend again, and Bai Yan sat alone beside the fountain.Although the pressure of the spray gun in the middle is very high, the water column can rush to four or five meters, but the small spray guns around the corners spray out thin water vapor, which is foggy, and there is an absurd feeling of being on the cloud.
He stretched his waist, thinking about sitting down for a while before looking for Lu Zhihui, but a disgusted voice came from behind.
"Brother Bai, congratulations for being able to cooperate with Director Liu Ji."
Wei Jiachen said congratulations, but his expression was extremely gloomy.
Bai Yan turned around and saw him coming out from behind the pillar.
"Is it popular to eavesdrop on other people's conversations now?" Seeing Wei Jiachen instantly erased all his good moods.
Wei Jiachen approached stiffly all over his body. Although he put on a thick layer of makeup, the makeup has faded a lot after a whole day.His face was stained a little sickly, and he didn't look very well.
"I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I just came to you for something, and I happened to hear you talking."
Bai Yan started to walk away, "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in hearing about your business, so excuse me."
On this side of the fountain is a promenade decorated with twelve medieval-style European stone pillars with a height of more than ten meters. The lights are few and dark, so very few people stop here.The conversation between them is thus extraordinarily clear.
So, when Wei Jiachen raised his voice and said, "How long are you going to pester Brother Xuan?", Bai Yan felt a needle stuck in his ear.
Bai Yan moved his shoulders in displeasure, turned around, and said coldly: "If you don't need your brains, you can donate them to those in need. Otherwise, you'll hit the wall there yourself. In short, you can do whatever you want, don't go crazy in front of me."
Wei Jiachen tightened his lips, looking extremely aggrieved, "Don't pretend you don't know anything. You went to sue Brother Xuan, didn't you? Tell him that I found someone to do the pornographic photos between you and the director , That's why his attitude towards me changed all of a sudden, it must be you, why did you do this!"
Severe questioning went back and forth in the long corridor a few times, and now Bai Yan was sure that there was no one here, otherwise, according to Wei Jiachen's pretentious character, he would definitely not go crazy in a place with people.
So, what is he being polite about?
"So, you really did it?" He stopped, put his hands in the pockets of the windbreaker, his eyes were fierce and cold.
At the same time, Lu Zhihui was watching this scene from a narrow window in the attic.Although they couldn't hear the sound, they could guess what they were talking about just from their expressions.
"Mr. Lu, why are you here alone?" Zhang Xuan happened to see him when passing by the stairs, so he stopped and asked.
"Oh, just looking at the scenery." His tone was leisurely, as if he was really looking at the scenery, "Perhaps, Mr. Zhang would like to show his face?"
No matter in terms of assets or qualifications, Lu Zhihui is Zhang Xuan's senior. Since he said "appreciate face", how can Zhang Xuan refuse?
So he approached in two steps, thinking about inquiring about Bai Yan's recent situation while exchanging greetings, and by the way chatting, is there any possibility of the revival of the project that Lu Zhihui withdrew from before.But when he saw the two people in the corner, the polite smile disappeared instantly.
"So what if it's me?" Wei Jiachen admitted surprisingly, there was no one else here, and he wasn't afraid to tell the truth.
Bai Yan stared at him, his eyes turned into sharp knives in an instant, "Then you still dare to appear in front of me, should I praise you for being shameless, or shameless?"
Wei Jiachen clenched his fists and took a step forward, "It's up to you to think. Anyway, since the first time we met, you didn't regard me as a friend. If that's the case, why should I please you?"
Bai Yan shrugged, "Sorry, I'm not generous enough to treat Xiaosan as a friend."
"I should tell you this sentence." Wei Jiachen was like an angry golden peacock. He was clearly burning with anger, but he still had to take care of his beautiful image. trembling.
Bai Yan sneered, "It seems that you are really sick."
He felt that if he stayed with this person, he might get infected, so he didn't bother to talk to him, and walked towards the wooden door at the end of the corridor—but Wei Jiachen suddenly grabbed his arm.
