It was expected by Feng Dong that Jiang Li wanted to audition for "Camellia Garden". He has been Jiang Li's agent for so long, and he knows Jiang Li's character that he wants to try in various roles. He was once invited to play the leading role in a modern drama. The script was very ordinary and even bad, but the role of a psychiatrist in it was brilliant. The strength propped up the ratings of the whole show.
After confirming with Jiang Li, Feng Dong called director Lin Zhendong's assistant.
Lin Zhendong is 71 years old. He is a leading director in the Chinese film industry. He has won the box office champion of Chinese films for many times in the films he led, and has won many heavyweight awards such as the Golden Bear Award, Golden Rooster Award, and Hundred Flowers Award. One of the representatives of Huaguo's film circle to international heights.
The famous film actor Zeng Shun once said when he won the best actor for his film with Lin Zhendong, as an actor, if he never worked with director Lin in his life, it would be the biggest regret in his acting career.
Jiang Li has also studied a lot of Lin Zhendong's films, and hopes to have the opportunity to cooperate with him, but he showed signs of quitting ten years ago. In addition to directing the production of two students' films, in the past ten years I have never directed a movie myself.
Now that Taishan Beidou in the old movie circle has come out again, the people who want to cooperate with him are naturally like a crucian carp crossing the river.
To Feng Dong's surprise, the other party also intends to invite Jiang Li to audition, and said that he has seen Jiang Li's role and admires his acting skills very much.
After agreeing on the audition time, Feng Dong was a little excited, and immediately called Jiang Li back, telling him to go to Z City for an audition the day after tomorrow.
City Z, that is where Jiang Zhan is currently on a business trip.
Jiang Zhan couldn't come back from this business trip in a short time. He happened to be in the past, but Jiang Nuomi had to ask Ji Shu's wife to take care of him again.
Two years ago, Ji Shu married his girlfriend who had been in love for eight years. Jiang Li still remembers that when they exchanged rings in the auditorium, Jiang Zhan, who was sitting next to him, held his hand gently in a place where no one could see. look.
Leaning on the sofa and thinking about the past four years, Jiang Li chuckled unconsciously, feeling a sense of tranquility in his heart. The helplessness that was forced into this world at the beginning has long since disappeared, replaced by the luck that I never felt.
"Host, you seem to be in a very good mood." The system's voice sounded, "Is it because of the new movie?"
"Half." Jiang Li said with a smile. It was a pleasure to be able to audition for a director's movie that he admired, but it was more of a kind of satisfaction that he had never had before when he looked back on the little things he had spent with Jiang Zhan over the years. sense.
Jiang Li loves the job of being an actor, but he doesn't regard it as the only thing in his life. This can be seen from the fact that he announced his retirement early in his previous life. Now that there are people around him who will spend their whole life together, comparing the two, Jiang Zhan must have more weight.
"Little cutie, is the favorability level still at 95%?" Jiang Li asked.
"Yes, nothing has changed."
Jiang Li brought up the system tablet that he hadn't paid attention to for a long time, and clicked on the interface that Jiang Zhan belonged to. The favorability in the first column showed 95%.
Since the favorability broke through the deep love achievement and reached 95% two years ago, the data has not changed in the past two years. At first, the system thought that the data was faulty, and tried to refresh and repair it several times in the background, but the front-end data remained unchanged, which proved that Jiang Zhan's favorability had indeed stopped at 95%.
Compared to the system's doubts, Jiang Li didn't care about it. No matter whether he was full of favorability or dissatisfied, Jiang Zhan didn't need to express his feelings for him.
And looking at it from another angle, dissatisfaction with the favorability means that he cannot leave this world. Although the system said before that even if the task is completed, the host can choose whether to leave or stay, but nothing is perfect in this world. Don't worry, now that the favorability level is stagnant, it is a good thing for him.
At the beginning, the information belonging to Jiang Zhan on the game tablet was just a simple sentence. As he went deeper into the strategy, it has now been filled up. Even Jiang Zhan’s preferences in dressing and eating are not behind. The word Jiang Li was clearly written in the column.
The male lead's information on the system is automatically generated based on his personal cognition, which means that in Jiang Zhan's heart, Jiang Li is his other half.
Putting away the system tablet, Jiang Li stretched his waist, got up from the sofa to find Jiang Nuomi who was making trouble and had gone somewhere.
Two days later, Jiang Li took a plane to Z city.
He didn't tell Jiang Zhan this time, but just contacted Ji Shu. Knowing that he was coming, Ji Shu arranged for someone to wait at the airport early on, and sent him back to the hotel where Jiang Zhan was staying after receiving him.
Jiang Zhan was very busy on this business trip. He had meetings with his partner company during the day and socializing at night. He was so busy that he didn't even touch the ground. It was almost one o'clock in the morning when he returned to the hotel.
After working for several days and drinking a lot of wine today, Jiang Zhan had a headache. Ji Shu opened the door for him, inserted the room card, and waved him to go back to rest. He closed the door and prepared to take a shower. Then I fell asleep, and just two steps away, I found a suitcase next to the sofa in the side hall.
The silver-gray suitcase glowed silver under the light, and the headshot of Ginger Nuomi on the box was very conspicuous.
It turned out that the somewhat drowsy head suddenly woke up as if it had been poured with clear water, and a huge surprise hit him head-on. Jiang Zhan strode towards the bedroom. shimmer.
When his hand was about to touch the doorknob, he stopped abruptly, changed into a slow grip, and gently pushed it away.
The air-conditioning was turned on in the bedroom, and the big bed in the middle raised an arc.
Jiang Li likes to sleep at low temperature, and he feels full when he is wrapped up in the quilt.
Unconsciously, Jiang Zhan lightened his footsteps, walked around the end of the bed, and saw a person with only the top of his head exposed from under the quilt.
At that moment, Jiang Zhan's heart felt hot.
He sat down beside the bed, stretched out his hand and gently pulled the quilt covering Jiang Li's head, revealing his sleeping face, looked at it quietly for a while, then bowed his head and kissed the tip of his nose.
Although his movements were very light, he still woke Jiang Li up.
The two looked at each other, Jiang Li's eyes gradually changed from sleepy to clear, blinked twice, and crawled out of the quilt: "You are back."
As he spoke, he smelled the strong smell of alcohol on Jiang Zhan's body, wrinkled his nose, and asked dissatisfiedly, "Why do you drink so much?"
Jiang Zhan also knew that he was smelly all over, so he stood up from the bed: "I'm going to take a shower first."
Jiang Li grabbed him, got up from the bed, threw himself on his back, put his arms around his neck: "Let's go together."
Jiang Zhan lowered his head and smiled, and went into the bathroom with him behind his back.
The two tossed in the bathroom for almost two hours, and when Jiang Li came out, Jiang Zhan also carried him out.
The two were lying on the bed, and Jiang Li told Jiang Zhan that he had come to audition, and asked him when he could finish his work, and if it was earlier, he would go back together.
Jiang Zhan was already busy with work here, so Ji Shu could handle the rest of the work, and said that he would go to the audition with him tomorrow.
"The dignified president of the Jiang family accompanied me to the audition." Jiang Li turned over and lay on his chest, "I really have a lot of face."
"It's good to know." Jiang Zhan patted the top of his head lightly, and turned up the temperature of the air conditioner in the room, "There is still an audition tomorrow, go to sleep."
"Good night." Jiang Li leaned over and kissed him, then rolled over and lay beside him.
"Good night."
...
The next day, the two went to Director Lin's house twenty minutes early.
Although Mr. Lin is over 70 years old, he is in good health and looks very good, and he speaks with great vigor.
The official script of "Camellia Garden" is still being revised, and it's not yet the time for the official casting. Jiang Li's audition this time is a shortcut specially given to him by the old man. He can directly interview without going through other procedures.
Although Mr. Lin has been half-retired from the circle for a long time, he still pays attention to some news in the circle occasionally. He knows that Jiang Li exists because his little granddaughter likes Jiang Li, so he watched a few TV dramas of Jiang Li.
As a person who has been a director for decades, Mr. Lin has devoted two-thirds of his life to film production. He can tell how much an actor is worth at a glance.
Jiang Li's acting skills and what he presented made him feel amazing.
Even if Jiang Li, the producer of "Camellia Garden" did not take the initiative to contact him this time, he would ask his assistant to send an invitation letter to Jiang Li.
When Jiang Li auditioned, Jiang Zhan waited in the living room next to him. He was not worried about Jiang Li's audition this time. With Jiang Li's strength, he was confident that Jiang Li would pass.
The audition time was not too long. About 20 minutes later, Jiang Li and Mr. Lin came out of the room. From the conversation between the two, Jiang Zhan heard that the role had been finalized. Starred by Jiang Li.
This result was expected by Jiang Zhan. He promised Mr. Lin that the Jiang family would increase the production cost of "Camellia Garden" by 100 million.
On the way back, Feng Dong was driving the car, Jiang Li and Jiang Zhan were sitting in the back, the two were chatting, discussing to visit the famous scenic spots in City Z for the next two days, it happened that Jiang Li didn't have any work plans for the next two days, Jiang Zhan was also busy.
Mr. Lin has been cultivating himself in the past few years. He lives in a mountain far away from the urban area. Although there is no car on the way back to the city, the mountain road is not easy to drive. Jiang Li glanced at the big trees and hillsides around him. , reminding Feng Dong to drive slower.
Feng Dong smiled and tilted his head in response: "Don't worry, I know..."
"There is a car!"
Jiang Zhan, who was sitting next to Jiang Li, suddenly yelled, and a truck drove out of a fork road on the left blocked by the hillside. Feng Dong was startled, and suddenly turned the steering wheel to the left. The car made a sharp turn and avoided the truck. He was caught off guard and directly bumped into the foot of the mountain beside him.
With a sound of "Boom—", the strong impact caused the entire vehicle body to shake violently.
The accident seemed to happen in an instant, Jiang Li's eyes widened suddenly, and the familiar scene was like being in the moment before his death in the previous life. While his eyes were shaking, he saw Jiang Zhan who rushed over to protect him.
Consciousness was slowly dissipating, and Jiang Li felt something warm dripping from Jiang Zhan's body, who was protecting him, onto his face, drop by drop, sliding down his face and sinking into his collar.
He felt a sharp pain in his heart, opened his mouth, and wanted to call him, but finally lost consciousness.
...
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Li heard someone talking next to his ear, but the voice was a little weak, and he couldn't hear it clearly.
The inconspicuous pain in his head made him frown, and he opened his heavy eyes. A large white ceiling appeared in his vision, and the sound of the instrument "Dididi-" came from beside him.
where is this place
Jiang Li felt his mind in a trance for a moment, and then remembered the figure of Jiang Zhan rushing to hug him before he fell into a coma, sat up suddenly from the bed, and was about to get out of bed when he lifted the quilt, the nurse next to him hurried forward to help him , said: "Your body is very weak now, please don't walk around."
"Where are the people with me?" Jiang Li grabbed her hand and asked anxiously, "Where are the people who were brought in with me? Are they all right?!"
"Don't worry, everyone else is safe, you lie down first." The nurse said, trying to help him lie down.
Although she said so, Jiang Li's mouth was beating rapidly, as if a kind of uneasiness enveloped his whole body, making him unable to stay still for a moment, just wanting to see Jiang Zhan quickly, he broke away from the nurse's hand and walked out quickly Go, reach the door and meet the person who is about to come in.
The familiar yet unfamiliar face of the visitor made him stop suddenly, with disbelief in his eyes, he opened his mouth and called out: "...Brother Xu"
Xu Guoren, Jiang Li's manager in his previous life. Seeing Jiang Li waking up, the expression on his face changed from worry to surprise, and he took a step forward to grab Jiang Li's hand: "You finally woke up! I'm so worried! Do you know how long you have been in a coma?!"
"What did you say?"
Jiang Li felt that his brain was a little stuck, and his ears were still buzzing with the aftereffects of the car accident, making him unable to hear what the other party was saying, but a cold feeling slowly rose from his feet.
"What did you say?"
Jiang Li heard himself ask another question, holding the other person's hand and trembling uncontrollably, his throat seemed to have been sawed by a saw, and his voice was hoarse and difficult: "Where's Jiang Zhan? How is he?"
"Jiang Zhan?" Xu Guoren looked blank, "Who are you talking about? Are you still not fully recovered, Ah Li? I'll call the doctor."
The other party came out of the ward, Jiang Li watched his leaving back, stood there in a daze, as if realizing something, looked down at his hands, then rolled up the sleeve of his left hand, revealing the scar on his arm.
This is the scar he left from filming when he first entered the entertainment circle, and it is a scar that only existed in his previous life.
After a while, Jiang Li called the system in a low voice, but no one answered.
He just stood there and called out many times, but the little cutie who accompanied him in another world didn't respond, as if he had never appeared before.
In this world, there is no omnipotent strategy game, no cute system, no hypocritical ginger glutinous rice, and no Jiang Zhan with whom he promises his whole life.
It ended in a way that pulled him in at the beginning, as if it was just a short-lived dream, and now he is the only one who wakes up.
Why... The favorability is obviously not full, isn't it
The coolness of hands and feet spread to the whole body little by little, Jiang Li felt as if he was in an ice cellar, his whole body was chilling.
The blood that Jiang Zhan dripped on his face before he fell into a coma seemed to be still on his face. He raised his hand to touch it, but only felt wet tears.
