Thousands of stars

Chapter 3 never go back

The next morning after receiving the notice to resume work, I hurried to the crew.

Probably because I didn’t expect that I had the guts to go out, and the paparazzi who were chasing after me couldn’t detect my movements in time, but all the calm was only temporary, and soon the distressing thing would be one Then something happened to me.

First, when I was in the car, someone suddenly recognized me, pointed at me and shouted: "Fiancee! Fiancee!" Then he took out his mobile phone and took wild pictures of me. I was so frightened that I covered my face and ran out of the car regardless of the surprised eyes of others. , I feel that I have never been so embarrassed in my life as I am today.

However, all of this is just the beginning, and the real embarrassment is yet to come.

When I ran for two streets wearing a mask and rushed to the set to report, I was surrounded by the entire crew.Even the screenwriter, who was not at odds with me before, came to see my true face after hearing the news, eagerly shook my hand and asked with concern: "Xiao Shen, have you considered putting your own How about adapting the story into a movie? I can help you!"

"No, thank you for your kindness..." I laughed and cried, feeling hairy in my heart.

"Or you can tell me about yourself, give me some inspiration, is what the newspaper said true? You and Li Yaofan should have a lot of stories, right? You can't really hide some mysterious life experience... ..."

The barrage of questions made me completely powerless. If it wasn't for today's box lunch, I really wanted to knock him unconscious with a stick.Fortunately, the director called me to audition at this time, which saved me from the predicament.

The director of this play is surnamed Wang, he has a big beard, and he is usually a pretty good person, but he doesn't talk much and looks a bit serious.After calling me this time, he looked me up and down meaningfully, and then asked, "Are you Shen Qianxing?"

"Yes, I am." I nodded submissively, a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, he didn't continue to ask any more questions. After a brief look, he looked away and started telling me a play.

This is a jumping scene, the heroine has to jump from the two-story rooftop, which is not difficult for me, but when I listened carefully to the director's lecture, Luo Wei suddenly appeared.

As the heroine of this play, being late is already commonplace for Luo Wei. Once, the director was so angry that he said a few words to her, and she actually stopped acting for a whole morning, causing the entire crew to work for her alone without starting work for half a year. Since then, no one in the crew dared to speak ill of her face to face.

But this time her temper is obviously not directed at the director, because I am the thorn in her side.The moment she stepped into the set, I could feel two knife-like gazes piercing my body straight.

In fact, I can understand Luo Wei very well. As a popular female star who is loved by thousands of people, she finally climbed the big tree of Li Yaofan, and she can fly up the branches and become a phoenix before she sees it. The pheasant blocked the way, and let Li Yaofan blatantly say "we have broken up for half a year" in front of so many media, how can he hold up his face?

Besides, I have also heard gossip from insiders, saying that in order to be close to Li Yaofan, Luo Wei even went so far as to cut her face thin to cater to his taste, and it took a lot of effort to finally become the girlfriend he is willing to admit to the outside world. Unexpectedly, I have only been out for a few days without doing anything, and I have become the "fiancée" in Li Yaofan's mouth.

When encountering such a thing, let alone Luo Wei, even an ordinary woman would like to cut me into pieces, right?

With such an attitude, I tried my best to let myself ignore Luo Wei, and listened carefully to the tasks assigned by the director.

"Do you understand?" Director Wang asked.

"No problem." I nodded solemnly.

"OK, let's start if there is no problem." Director Wang turned his head to look at the action director at the side, "Old Chen, take her and Luo Wei up, and tell them where to stand."

Seeing that the director had signaled, I quickly followed Lao Chen, but after only two steps, I was stopped by Luo Wei's assistant, who didn't say anything, and yelled at me: "What are you doing? Airplane? You can’t tell who comes first, do you think you’re the heroine? You don’t even look in the mirror to see how poor you are! Don’t you apologize to Sister Wei?”

The words were harsh and loud, and I was completely stunned. The colleagues around the crew also stopped their work and turned their heads to watch the excitement. Luo Wei smiled contemptuously, and had no intention of stopping it at all.

If I were in this situation before I fell down, I would have used money to cover ten mirrors to blind her eyes, but now I don't have the capital.

I regained my senses in a brief shock, and in the eyes of everyone watching the show, I bowed deeply to Luo Wei and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Wei, poor people can't afford mirrors, and when the show is finished and I get paid, I Be sure to buy a big, bright mirror and look at it eighteen hours a day."

Everyone laughed, the corners of Luo Wei's mouth twitched, and the powder on her face almost fell off.

"Okay, don't waste everyone's time, hurry up." Director Wang relieved me and urged us with a straight face.

I quickly followed Old Chen, and Luo Wei ran up to the rooftop on the second floor.Luo Wei followed up with a dark face, just looking at it, she should have hated me so much that she wanted to push me down.

I can only be thankful that there are so many people at this moment, which saved me from the bad luck of being pushed down, but unfortunately I underestimated Luo Wei's fighting power.

When I jumped from the second floor according to the director's request and heard the director say "yes", I thought I had finally survived, but after a while, Lao Chen suddenly ran down and whispered to the director A few words.

I watched Director Wang's face buried in his beard slightly wrinkled, and an ominous premonition suddenly came to my mind.

Sure enough, Director Wang said, "Let's do it again."

I rubbed my painful shoulder and went upstairs. I saw Luo Wei standing aside and sneered. After a while, Lao Chen came up and said to me: "The movement was in place just now, but the expression should be more decisive."

What a bad reason, I knew at a glance that it was Luo Wei's fault, so I didn't protest and danced again.

"One more time." Director Wang said again.

"The expression is in place this time, but the movement range should be a little bigger." Lao Chen has been in the film crew for many years and is a very smooth person. He said this just to find a passable reason, but I know it is not the case.Obviously, it was Luo Wei who was trying to make things difficult for me, because when I saw him saying these words, he kept looking at Luo Wei.

Okay, count yourself as cruel!I bit the bullet and jumped for the fourth time.

The reason Lao Chen gave me this time was "the range of motion is too big, I have to shrink back a little."

My whole body hurts from jumping. After all, jumping from a building is not for eating. I just jump when I say it. No matter how experienced I am, I can't stand such intensive repetition of the same movement.I felt my legs were a little numb, and my arms were burning and aching.

Just when I jumped from the second floor for the fifth time, Wang Zhihui came out and said, "Okay, let's take a picture of the next action."

"No." Luo Wei, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke. She stood on the rooftop on the second floor and looked down at me. Her vicious eyes pierced my bruised body, which was something I will never forget.

I gritted my teeth and said to myself, I can fucking bear it once.But Director Wang couldn't bear it any longer. He slammed the script in his hand to the ground, and cursed at it: "I won't shoot if I say no, who is the director?"

I was moved by Director Wang's unafraid of power and his eloquent spirit. I wished I could hug his thigh with snot and tears, and shouted to the sky: "Idol!"
But Luo Wei is not a vegetarian. In just a few seconds, her face turned from white to blue, and then from green to black. Finally, she said coldly: "I won't shoot, I want to terminate the contract."

For a moment, the entire crew fell into commotion because of Luo Wei's words.

This drama called "Angel" is a drama that was decided to start filming after five years of preparation.The planner of the film, that is, the director Wang Dahui who I just regarded as an idol, is actually a very honest but not representative second- and third-tier director.Over the years, in order to make a comeback, he has put almost all his heart and soul into this movie. He spared no expense to invite the popular idol Luo Wei to play the leading role, just for the movie to attract more media attention.

I once heard gossip from the production crew, saying that Director Wang even borrowed 300 million usury loans in order to film this movie. Regardless of whether the rumors are true or not, the crew’s funds are really tight.Now that the movie has been filmed for almost a month, Luo Wei actually said that she will not act anymore. Everyone is afraid that their hard work will not be rewarded. Nervousness is certain, let alone Director Wang. I saw his angry face just now, There was also a bit of tension at the moment.

I think I have to stand up and block a shot for Director Wang just now when he scolded Luo Wei!

"Sister Wei, don't be angry, I will dance again, I promise to dance until you are satisfied?" I smiled at her with a constipated face.

Director Wang did not object this time.

"Okay, since you are so sincere, I won't embarrass everyone, but my requirements are very high. If you can't dance well, don't waste my time."

"Don't worry, I will dance well this time." I said as I limped upstairs, feeling that my left leg was almost completely numb, and my mind was dizzy.

"If you want to dance, hurry up, don't dawdle, sister Wei's time is so precious, can you afford it?" Luo Wei's overbearing assistant spoke again, and I didn't even bother to look at her.

"Xiao Shen, just try harder, it will be fine." Lao Chen encouraged me from the side.

I glanced at him resolutely, and felt that the wind blowing in front of me had a hint of desolation, my body's endurance had reached its limit, and I felt dizzy just looking down.I regret coming up so soon. If I had known it would be like this, I would have asked the drama manager for a steamed stuffed bun, at least I wouldn’t have to be a starving ghost.

"Start!" Director Wang shouted from downstairs.

I went through all the action points on one side in my mind, and then I got into position, ready to rush down.But when I stepped across the railing of the rooftop, my feet suddenly cramped.Accompanied by a burst of severe pain, I yelled "ah", but it was too late to stop, and I fell straight down.

At that moment, I thought I was going to die, I thought of my mother, and I thought of Li Yaofan, and before I had time to think "I will not let Luo Wei go even if I am a ghost", I fell on the sponge pad The edge, and by inertia, bounced to the concrete floor.

After a while of dizziness, I lay straight on my back on the hard ground, watching the blue-white sky above my head being blocked by figures pouring in one after another, the pain gradually dissipated with consciousness... Finally, my eyes went black, Finally passed out.

When I woke up, I was already lying on a hospital bed with many bandages on my body.

Sister Le, who was standing by the side, saw that I was awake, and rushed towards me excitedly, hugged my shoulder and shook violently: "Qianxing, you're awake! You're finally awake!!!"

"I'm awake, take it easy." I grinned.

Realizing her gaffe, she quickly stood up and apologized to me with red eyes: "I'm sorry, I was too excited, but I was really shocked to see you hurt like this, and I don't know how to explain to your mother ..."

"What?!" I exclaimed, "You won't tell my mother, will you?"

"No, no, no!" Sister Le shook her head quickly, "Don't worry, no one said, she definitely doesn't know."

That's good, I just breathed a sigh of relief, unless I die and can't do anything, otherwise no matter what happens, I can't let my mother know, she is not in good health and can't stand such a big stimulus.

"But then again, you are really lucky. You only broke one leg after jumping so many times. If it was me, I would definitely die."

No wonder my leg felt numb at the time, but it turned out that my bone was hurt. Thinking of this, I couldn't help feeling a little worried.Although I have been in the industry for many years, injuries are inevitable, but they have never been so serious that I have to be hospitalized.Now I am lying in bed, unable to get a job, and have to pay expensive medical bills...

Medical bills!
When this word appeared in my mind, I suddenly realized a very important thing, so I endured the injury on my body, grabbed Sister Le, and asked eagerly: "Is this considered a work-related injury? Medical expenses Will the company reimburse you?"

"The company is so stingy, how can it reimburse you for medical expenses? But you don't have to worry, the expenses are settled, you can just lie down and don't move around." Sister Le patted my hand to comfort me.

"The company doesn't reimburse me, so could it be the crew?" I asked anxiously. I really couldn't understand how the crew would arrange such a good single room for me when their funds were so tight.

Sister Le shook her head: "It's not the crew either!"

"Who is that?" I wondered, it couldn't be Luo Wei, it might be more realistic to ask her to pay my funeral expenses.

"Actually..." Sister Le began to look a little embarrassed, and hesitated to speak.

"Who is it, tell me!"

"It's me." The door of the ward opened suddenly, and a person I least wanted to see appeared in front of me.

At that moment, I suddenly felt a surge of blood. If it weren't for the bandages all over my body, I would have rushed over to fight her desperately. Now I can only point at him and scold: "What are you doing here? I don't need your sympathy! Don't want your stinky money!"

"I still have the strength to curse people, it seems that the injury is not serious." Li Yaofan chuckled and walked towards me.

"What are you doing here? Get out of here!" I yelled.

"Since you don't need my help, of course I'm here to drive you away." The tone sounded a little gloating.

I was angry at the time: "Just leave, you think I dare not?"

While I was talking, I was struggling to get up from the bed. Seeing this, Sister Le rushed over and held me down desperately: "Qianxing, stop making trouble! Mr. Li is just joking with you. Do you need to be so excited? He I have already told me about you, I really think you misunderstood him, he is so good to you, even if you want to be willful, wait until you recover from your injuries!"

"What?" I was completely taken aback by Sister Le's words, which turned black and white. It took me a long time to recover, and I asked her, "What did the surname Li tell you? What the fuck? It’s a misunderstanding, explain it to me!”

"Qianxing, don't do this." Sister Le's expression seemed to have been completely deceived by Li Yaofan's nonsense, and she looked at me like an ignorant child.

I felt that I could no longer communicate with her, so I turned my head and glared at Li Yaofan, asking, "What the hell are you talking about?"

"I just told a small part of the facts." Li Yaofan glanced at me, that casual look suddenly made me fall into an inexplicable panic, and some past events that I didn't want to mention flashed in my mind Pass.

"You won't forget, do you need me to tell you again?" He seemed to be reminding me of something.

I collected myself and said to Sister Le, "Sister Le, you go out first, we have something to talk about."

"But……"

"Get out!" I said again.

After all, Sister Le couldn't hold back me, and after a few instructions, she reluctantly left the ward.

The moment the door of the ward was closed, I could feel the completely different atmosphere in the ward. I didn't know what Li Yaofan was thinking, but I knew I had to tell him clearly.

"Li Yaofan, let me ask you again, what exactly do you want?" I looked directly at him, "In the past, our family was sorry for you, but in the past ten years, I have given you everything that I can give you, and the rest Everything I can’t afford. What else do you want, just say it, don’t torture me anymore, I’ve already lost completely, let me go, let the people around me go, okay?”

If I hadn't been forced to a corner, I really didn't want to humbly beg him for mercy, but I know too well his character that must win. I want him to disappear completely from my life, that's the only way.

"What if I say no?" He suddenly walked towards me, leaned over, and put one hand on the head of my bed.

I was half lying down, and the bandages on my body prevented me from escaping in time. I could only watch him invade my territory, and every nerve in my body was instantly on high alert.

But I didn't dare to provoke him like last time, so I could only lean back and try to communicate with him in a negotiating tone: "Actually, getting involved with me won't do you any good, I don't look good , poor figure, no money, no power, and you have a grudge against you, don't you feel upset looking at me? Why don't you let me go, I guarantee that I will never appear under your nose in this life, okay? "

However, my words did not arouse any pity from Li Yaofan. Instead, he moved closer and said with the corner of his mouth curled up: "Although you have no money and no power now, you were a big spender back then, weren't you?"

I knew he was still holding grudges for the day I poured wine all over his body. It's a strange thing for a man to have such a small gut.

"What happened back then is over, and now I'm a poor man, it's really not worth your effort to put down your figure and spend so much energy on me." I tried my best to persuade him.

"But I still remember, what should I do?" He said, and suddenly reached out and lifted my chin.

It happened so suddenly that I froze, feeling his slender fingers caressing my chin lightly, with a distant but familiar touch, as if he was trying to uncover the things that I had been dusty for a long time. memories... But at this moment, I suddenly caught a glimpse of an imperceptible sneer at the corner of his mouth.

The memory suddenly braked at that moment, and I slapped his hand away: "Li Yaofan, you are enough! I am so humbled, don't push yourself! If you really push me, I can do anything, Yafan The group has such a good momentum now, you don't want to have a rape scandal, do you?"

"Are you threatening me?" He withdrew his hand and narrowed his eyes at me.

"Don't tell me that there is a price to pay for threatening you. I have already been forced to have nothing by you. I don't care about my reputation, but before I am scolded, I will definitely ruin your reputation."

"Don't tell me you're like a chaste woman." He finally stood up, his eyes returned to his usual indifference, and he looked at me with disdain, "As long as you can produce evidence, you can sue, I don't care. By the way, ten years Tell the judge what happened before, after all, it was our first time, wasn't it?"

His words were like a knife, piercing my chest mercilessly.

"If you forget the details, I can provide them. I think about the name of that hotel..."

"Li Yaofan! Shut up!" I couldn't bear to stop him, because I was too excited, I felt the wounds on my body began to ache.

"What's the matter? What's the matter?" Sister Le rushed in when she heard the noise, followed by several nurses.

"I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first." Li Yaofan said lightly, without even looking at me, he left the ward without looking back.

"Qianxing, are you okay with Mr. Li?" Sister Le rushed over to ask me.

"From now on, don't mention him in front of me." I finished speaking coldly, closed my eyes, and ignored Sister Le's questioning.

Just a quarter of an hour ago, I thought that being forced to jump off a building by Luo Wei was bad enough. Only now did I realize that compared to what Li Yaofan said just now, the physical injuries are nothing at all. The torn wound is the pain that has tortured me for ten years and I can't forget it.

Everyone thinks that good memories can last a lifetime, but for me, the better the memories, the more cruel the reality, so over the years, I have been trying my best to forget the things that happened between me and him.

For so many years, I thought I forgot, and he forgot too.

But the fact is, I remember, and he remembers.

It's just that neither he nor I can go back.
