Rebirth Turn - Chapter 86
After receiving the call, Su Mo walked to the side of the road and waited. After waiting for a while, it seemed like a gust of wind blew past, and a cool Aston Martin stopped in front of him.
Lu Yan stuck his head out, turned slightly to the side, and said with a smile, “Get in the car.”
Su Mo didn’t say anything, got on the car obediently and fastened his seat belt.
Lu Yan didn’t say hello, the car swooped out again, and Su Mo rushed forward slightly due to inertia.
The car drives very fast, of course, this is only relative to the normal speed, and it is not faster than the speed of the sports car itself, but because the hood is open, it is enough to make the people in the car feel a sense of speed.
Fortunately, the night was already deep, and there were almost no vehicles on the road, and the few cars that occasionally drove by were not much slower than them.
It was the first time that Su Mo saw Lu Yan drive such a fast car.
In fact, Su Mo rarely saw Lu Yan drive. Usually when the two are together, Su Mo is almost always driving, and occasionally Lu Yan will take over when he is tired. In normal times, Lu Yan’s driving was smoother and more stable than Su Mo’s.
It was only today that Su Mo realized that Lu Yan was so good at racing, even Chen Yue was no match.
How many secrets does he have?
However, if Lu Yan wasn’t going to say it, Su Mo wasn’t going to ask. Even the closest people should give each other some space, and a complete vacuum is not necessarily a good thing.
Of course, if Lu Yan wanted to say it, he would be happy to listen.
Finally, Lu Yan stopped the car on Jiangbin Road.
After getting out of the car, the two walked to the guardrail by the river together, looking at the river flowing quietly at night through the guardrail, the wind blowing from the river surface carried a damp breath.
Lu Yan turned his back against the guardrail, put his hands back on the guardrail, leaned his head back, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said with a smile, “I haven’t driven a car like this for a long time, so happy!”
Su Mo said lightly, “If you’re not feeling well and you’re racing with others, you’re going to die!” Having said that, there was not much reproach in his tone. He knew that Lu Yan had always been very measured, and he believed that he would not joke about his life. He knew better than anyone how much Lu Yan cherished life.
Lu Yan raised his head, smiled at him, and suddenly said, “Is there a cigarette?”
Su Mo glanced at him and nodded, “I have it in the car, I’ll get it.”
The two stood face to face, their heads almost touching each other. Lu Yan turned his back to Jiang Mian with a cigarette in his mouth. Su Mo blocked the wind with one hand and lit a cigarette for him while shining a lighter. The two were very close, their posture ambiguous and warm.
Neither of them are addicted to smoking, and they rarely smoke, but occasionally they will have one or two.
After lighting the cigarette, Lu Yan leaned back again, and Su Mo also put the lighter in his pocket.
Taking a deep breath, and then slowly exhaling the smoke ring, Lu Yan looked at the dark night sky that was isolated from the lights in the distance, and suddenly said, “I started racing with people when I was just admitted to university.”
Although there is no need for other people to know those secrets from the past, Su Mo is not someone else. Maybe it was because the night was too late, and the mood was fluctuating for a while, and at this time, there was a special desire to talk about it.
Lu Yan said unpleasantly and his tone was flat, “The cost of attending acting school is very high, and I have no money at all. I have no relatives and friends to borrow, and I don’t want to use that person’s money. It happened that I just got my driver’s license at that time, coach Seeing that I am very talented in learning to drive, and knowing that I am short of money, he asked me if I wanted to learn to race with him, that kind of informal private nature. As long as you are brave enough and skillful enough, you will be rich if you win. I accepted.”
“I remember the first time I was racing against people, I was scared and my palms were sweaty at the end. Of course, I didn’t win that time and I didn’t have any money, so the coach paid for it for me. I don’t know where he got his confidence in me, but it turns out that he has a good eye. After playing for a year, I haven’t lost again. And slowly, my mentality has changed.
At first it was for the money, then it was not just for the money. I became obsessed with the extreme speed, the feeling of madness, and I couldn’t stop. Even if I meet someone with better skills than me, I’m not as bold as me, so I always win. Now that I think about it, I feel really lucky that nothing happened. It wasn’t until the coach who taught me how to race the car died suddenly that I stopped doing this. “
Having said this, Lu Yan paused, and Su Mo asked, “Is it because of the racing?”
Lu Yan didn’t answer right away, but smiled slightly, with a hint of sarcasm, “No. He owed a lot of money and couldn’t pay it. When he was being chased by loan sharks, he fell off the overpass and fell to his death. And the reason why he borrowed money was because his wife was seriously ill and needed money to be cured, but she was not cured in the end.”
“…” Su Mo felt that what he said was inappropriate, so he simply didn’t say anything.
Lu Yan didn’t care, and continued, “They don’t have any relatives. At that time, I helped them cremate them and place them in the cemetery because the racing car was no longer short of money. Suddenly, I felt that life is impermanent and should be cherished, so I just gave up and never touched it again, even driving very little, until today.”
Lu Yan turned around and faced Su Mo, spread his hands and said with a smile, “Look, in fact, I also have moments when I was young and frivolous and crazy.” “At that time, I had nothing but I knew how to cherish it, not to mention that I have you now. Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to hurt myself to make you worry. In fact, I didn’t do my best tonight, and I didn’t follow along when I played before. Such sons and brothers have been compared, and I know very well where their bottom line is.”
Lu Yan said and smiled, “At that time, they were my biggest sponsors, and almost all my living expenses and tuition were won from them.”
Su Mo still didn’t say anything, and Lu Yan said again, “I have to let them know that only I am qualified to stand by your side, no matter what aspect. I don’t care what they think of me, but I can’t let others say, Why is Su Mo so blind, the man he looks at is actually a softie.”
Su Mo finally burst out laughing, raised his eyebrows and said, “Who would dare!”
Seeing that he finally smiled, Lu Yan pulled his hand forward, hugged him, and put his chin on his shoulder, so his voice was a little muffled, “Yes, they don’t dare.”
Su Mo hugged him back and sighed, “I don’t care what others think of me, I only care if you are safe or not. But I know you have always been measured, so do whatever you want. Just remember one thing. , me and you, we live and die together!”
“Well, I know!” Lu Yan hugged him harder.
Jiang Feng was cold at night, but they felt very warm when they embraced each other.
After the rare holiday, it is still non-stop work.
This time Qin Feng gave Lu Yan an ancient costume movie, which was very interesting.
The movie is called “The Biography of Wang Xuance”, and it tells about the most glorious experience in Wang Xuance’s life.
Lu Yan doesn’t know much about history. He only knows about Wang Xuance. After receiving this drama, he studied his life well.
Wang Xuance was an envoy during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty and had been sent to India four times. When he was officially sent to India as an ambassador for the second time, he was involved in the usurpation of the throne at that time and was once reduced to a prisoner. After escaping the adventure, he did not return home immediately, but went north along the Indian mainland to the kingdom of Nepal at that time, and attacked back with troops from Nepal.
Yoshiki Tanaka, the master of Japanese fantasy literature, is very interested in him, and even thinks that “it is not impossible to regard him as the protagonist of an adventure movie with the style of a Hollywood movie”.
However, because his deeds are mainly overseas, there are not many records in the history books, which also causes many people to not know him now, and his brilliance is almost forgotten in the magnificent history.
Lu Yan’s next film is mainly about this legend.
This is a very legendary character, but also a very interesting story. But if that’s the case, Qin Feng wouldn’t be in such a hurry to continue the movie. After all, making a movie is not about writing novels, and it’s not that the story itself is interesting enough. It also depends on the director’s skills, whether he can tell the story clearly, wonderfully and attractively.
Therefore, it is not the story itself that makes Qin Feng’s heart move, but the person who tells the story, that is, Cui Jian, the director of the film.
Cui Jian was a director at the same time as Wang Yi, and they almost became famous before and after. If Wang Yi is a very famous director in China, Cui Jian and him are not far behind. It is said that films made by Wang Yi are easy to win awards. In fact, it is the same for Cui Jian. There are even several film festivals. In the end, the competition for the best film is the battlefield between the two of them, and the others are just foils.
Although Wang Yi has won more awards than Cui Jian in domestic film festivals so far, Cui Jiansheng has won more awards than Wang Yi in international film festivals. He is the only director in China who has won the Best Picture Grand Slam at the three major international film festivals. Based on this, in terms of public opinion, he has the ability to overwhelm Wang Yi to become the most important director in China.
Cui Jian and Wang Yi have different styles. Wang Yi is good at making some movies with delicate emotions, which is what people like to call literary and artistic, but he can bring this type to the extreme and no one can surpass it. Cui Jian, on the other hand, is better at a majestic style, and he has a characteristic that his films are particularly able to highlight the characters, especially the protagonist. Especially easy to get the best actor and actress.
Therefore, there is no actor who does not aspire to be the hero and heroine of Cui Jian.
