Today's filming was still very smooth, and they ended early again. Li Long also rejected Rocky's invitation to go out for a drink and drove back to his apartment. However, at a certain age, the past would always surface from time to time.
She stopped the car at an intersection and waited for the red light to turn green. However, her eyes involuntarily became moist. Li Long had no choice but to lie on the steering wheel and let the memories hit him.
After all, distributing flyers was not a long-term solution. Soon, Li Long found a new job. Actually, it was also a job that did not require much skill. It was just a part-time job in a Chinese restaurant. Seven yuan per hour. Although it was a small sum of money for Li Long in the past, it was equivalent to buying fourteen steamed buns for Li Long now. It was really a big income. Therefore, Li Long also worked hard every day. Fortunately, the foreman and the people around him had a good impression of him.
As soon as he swiped his card, the foreman leaned over mysteriously and whispered," Brother, your classmate has been waiting for you in the private room for an hour. I told her to call you, but she refused and insisted on waiting for you to get off work.”
Classmates? Li Long also walked towards the private room suspiciously. He didn't have any classmates, so he wasn't joking. In this city, at this time, Li Long's classmate would also appear. He actually had the patience to wait for him for more than an hour. This classmate was too strange.
"Wrong room?" After entering the private room and looking at the girl in front of him, Li Long pretended to be puzzled.
"Li Long. The girl called out to him with an amused look on her face. After he turned around, she smiled and said," I'm Wuhe. Thank you for lending me the multi-purpose computer during the last exam."”Wu He laughed.
Li Long finally reacted. Wu He had just taken on a new role, so of course, it was still an extra. She was playing the role of the male lead's first love. Wuhe's character was called Xiao Wei. She was a very innocent high school student. Because of the help of the male lead in the examination, she got to know the male lead and gradually became familiar with him. In the end, she was killed by cannon fodder.
Li Long also vaguely remembered that Wuhe had once said that it was a statistics test. Because the test required a special X-45 calculator, the male lead in the drama had entered a batch and took the opportunity to earn some money. In the end, there were only two left, and the male lead was brought to the examination room in case of a need or a new business opportunity. The girl played by Wuhe was probably too hardworking. She actually used up the battery of the calculator one minute before the exam, so the male lead lent her one. After that, the girl played by Wuhe, Xiao Wei, not only bought the calculator without bargaining, but also bought a pile of fruits to thank her.
"Didn't you already thank me with the fruit, so we're even.”Li Long also smiled in accordance with the role of the male lead in the movie. In fact, she was really happy for Wuhe. Such a young lady had been working hard for her dream until now. She was really admirable.
"Li Long, for the sake of my birthday, sit down and have a meal with me.”Wuhe was really happy today because she had passed the acting test without any retakes. There was nothing more exciting in life than this.
For the first time, Li Long was a little disgusted with his recent habit of only bringing money for meals. He smiled and said," I only have six yuan on me.”
Wuhe naturally knew Li Long's current situation and did not intend to let him treat him. He smiled and said,""You should know which one is delicious, right?”
The two of them ordered two dishes and a soup. They ate happily and occasionally joked. Li Long lowered his head and remained silent. After a while, he said to Wuhe," I'm going to the bathroom."”
After more than ten minutes, Li Long came back from the bathroom. Wuhe looked at him with a smile, then paused for a moment and said to him," Use all the money you have on you to buy two bottles of soda, any flavor will do."”
He asked Zheng Sanshan, who was on duty, for two bottles of soda. Zheng Sanshan took two bottles from the freezer and handed them to him. He whispered," Brother Li, are you blind?”
Li Long also smiled and nodded. He ordered two bottles of soda. Wuhe smiled and said that this birthday present was the most suitable for him.
Li Long didn't know what Wuhe saw in him. He had also said that the two of them weren't from the same world, but Wuhe either pretended to be stupid or turned a deaf ear. She was clearly a thin and weak little girl. She was already busy enough, but she worked part-time with him. She distributed flyers, promoted sales, arranged the exhibition, and hosted the wedding ceremony. They had really done many things together. When other lovers were in love.
Li Long had asked Wuhe more than once."Why are you so good to me? Don't you think that there must be something hateful about a person who doesn't have a father or a mother?”
"Like I said, your eyes can speak and make people feel comfortable.”Wuhe replied with the same sentence. Li Long had never felt that his eyes could speak or make people feel comfortable. However, since Wuhe said so, Li Long believed him. After thinking for a while, he said to Wuhe,"You see, my life is basically fine now, so can I start half of my dream now?”
"Haven't you already activated it? At least you've learned to experience life from various occupations. This is a good thing. Live on your own, live truly. Not everyone is lucky enough to do this.”Wu He laughed. In fact, she had thought many times that Li Long would run home because he couldn't stand the hardships of life, but in fact, he didn't. This made Wuhe very happy. Li Long might not be a filial son in a sense, but he was indeed a real man.
"Yes, I want to go to the set." Li Long also said sincerely. This was the first time in his life that he really wanted to do something, not out of spite.
Wuhe smiled." You don't have to apply to me, but we can be colleagues. I've already finished filming that mass scene and I'm about to start taking on new orders."”
The two of them began to go to the filming location together to wait for work. Originally, they had to take two buses from their residence to the place where they lived. However, in order to save money, they omitted the bus that only took five stops. The two of them waited for work together. Sometimes, they would not get a job for two or three days. They were even ridiculed by the people around them."These young people who dream of becoming celebrities and don't do their proper jobs are really ridiculous. It's not good to have hands and feet to do something, but to count on the heavens to drop a pie every day.”
Although he didn't expect a pie to fall from the sky, this opportunity was almost as good as a pie falling from the sky. Sometimes, Wu He and Li Long would wonder if each other's looks were that bad. Why didn't any director take a fancy to them? They didn't expect that perhaps it wasn't because they were bad looking, but because they were too outstanding. They even outshone the main character. How could the director and manager allow such a thing to happen?
When they were waiting for a scene on the set, they would occasionally work part-time because of their daily needs. Naturally, they would choose to work on a daily basis or as temporary workers. Today, Li Long began to distribute flyers on the streets again. He heard a song playing in the store on loop. Li Long did not know the name of the song, but when he heard it, he would hum slowly,"The past is unforgettable, the past is unforgettable, the past is unforgettable.”
Although life wasn't easy, and although waiting time and time again was like a stone sinking into the sea, Li Long never thought of committing suicide again. Although he would occasionally doubt that tomorrow would really be better, he still persisted, desperately persisting.
The phone rang, and Li Long picked it up without any premonition. He was extremely excited when he heard the results. A director he didn't have much hope for had agreed to hire him, and it was actually the sixth male lead, a role that could talk a lot. Thinking about it, Li Long felt excited. He called Wuhe, but found that the other party was not picking up. This made Li Long feel a little uneasy.
Coming back to his senses from his memory, he lifted his head from the steering wheel and realized that the red light was flashing. There were only 83 seconds left…
Li Long also turned his gaze back to the traffic light. There were still 83 seconds left on the time display. It seemed like there was still so much time left on that day…
The call didn't go through. Li Long was about to return home when someone tugged at the corner of his shirt. He turned around and saw that it was the person he was worried about. Li Long also sighed." In the future, even if you're very close to me, you have to pick up the phone. A girl is very worrying, you know?"”
"I understand. I'll definitely do it next time." Wuhe replied with a smile.
Although Wu He was smiling, Li Long realized that her smile was a little forced, so he asked,""What's wrong? Also, I don't want to hear an answer like nothing.”Li Long knew that Wu He liked to use the excuse that he had nothing to do to avoid others, so he took the lead and spoke. Because if there was really nothing, Wuhe would definitely not come looking for him.
"I refuse." Li Long was also handing out flyers to passers-by while talking to Wuhe, who was following behind him.
"You can refuse, but I want to accept it. After all, this is a chance to get closer to my dream.”At that time, Wu He's long hair was draped behind his back, and he was dressed in white cotton. His face was suffused with the unique luster of a twenty-year-old.
"Wuhe, your dream is to become a famous actress, not a popular one, right? And although the director you mentioned is a famous director, his character is really not good, so I firmly disagree.”Li Long had never thought that the Noon Peace Society would go so far as to shoot nude scenes. Although it was common in their industry, Li Long could not say that he could.
"But it's been a long time since I've received a role. I don't know what will happen in the future if I reject this director.”Wuhe was actually quite reluctant, but this director was too powerful. He could easily crush her with a single finger.
After Li Long finished distributing the flyers in his hand, he thought for a while and said to Wuhe,"Wuhe, if you really can't take on any roles because you rejected this role, then I'll support you. I'll work hard to make myself famous and then I'll bring you along. Even though I'm writing like a blank check, I'm serious.”
Wuhe did not speak for a long time. Li Long continued,"Actually, I just called to tell you that another director wants to use me. Although I'm the sixth male lead, I'll do my best to perform. Don't worry, Wuhe. Because of this decision I made, regardless of whether or not the director boycotted you, I will promise you a future, and it will definitely be a bright future. In the past, I never knew why a person lived. Now I understand, I know. Wuhe, trust me."
The red light turned green. At that time, she and Wuhe were hugging each other. Now, the red light turned green, but she was alone and returned to the little home that she used to love. Why is it that when we have everything, when we are strong enough, we are getting further and further away?
