On the morning of the third day, Magellan and his agent had breakfast together. Both of them were alone and had no family to take care of, and their greetings were very simple.
The reason why Magellan is single is purely because he wants to hold on to others. In addition, he was once a first-line actor and has great potential and development prospects. Marrying too early is not good for his work. He has only been in love over the years, but there is no marriage at all. of.
As for his agent, it's actually the same. His busy work leaves him no time to think about personal matters. In addition, being in the circle of fame and fortune makes him deeply understand that the more glamorous things are, the more ugly and dirty they are. .
This makes it impossible for him to find a girlfriend in this circle to get married. He cannot bear the emotional crises that may arise in the past, present, and in the future anytime and anywhere.
Both of them want to wait until they are "stable" before getting married, but compared to Magellan's unrealistic stability, his agent is obviously more aware of the reality - he will consider it once he gets signed by an A-level agent.
But now it is meaningless to say this. The two of them were standing at the dock waiting for the boat. This is the biggest advantage of Ilian, the transportation is convenient.
Whether it is a steam locomotive or a sea-going ship, it can start directly from here and reach any known corner of the world.
"What did you bring?" Magellan only had a very simple travel bag in his hand, which contained a few sets of winter clothes and spring clothes. He didn't bring anything else.
After he has settled down in Sallyville, he will go directly to buy some daily necessities. Although his market conditions have been very bad for a period of time since he came here, this is only for actors of the same level.
Compared to ordinary people, his income is still at a level that requires people to look up to see it.
He had saved a lot of money over the years, and he didn't have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation in Sallyville. If he hadn't liked the clothes in his bag very much, he wouldn't have even planned to bring them there.
The agent patted his large suitcase and made a banging sound, "It contains the movies you have shot over the years, operas and some advertisements. I think we will always use it when we get there..."
Magellan patted the manager's arm and said nothing. This is what a good manager should do. He needs to consider the artists he manages wholeheartedly and meticulously, instead of letting the artists remind the manager of what he should do. Do something.
Their flight is at 8:15 in the morning, and it will take about five days to arrive in Sallyville. After five days, it will be a new beginning, a new life. The two of them have both longing for a new life and nostalgia for the past. The reluctance and nostalgia.
The luxurious liner in the distance had already appeared on the sea level, and they were about to leave soon. At this moment, Magellan suddenly heard someone calling his name from behind.
Turning back is an instinctive reaction, just like a person walking on the street without any psychological defense. If someone calls his name, even if he doesn't turn back, he will subconsciously stop.
Magellan was not trained, and his reaction was very real. He thought that a movie fan recognized him. This situation is very common in Ilian.
As the only and most developed film city in the empire, film workers and fans can be seen everywhere.
He turned around with a smile, and even the muscle memory in his hands was ready to sign, but then he felt his entire face suddenly heat up, and then a severe pain came, making him unable to help but keep using it. Wipe face with sleeves.
The agent's frightened roar came to his ears, and the piercing screams around him made Magellan even more panicked. The sound of sirens in the distance and the burning pain on his face made Magellan faint from the great fear.
When he woke up, he subconsciously wanted to open his eyes, but found that he could not open his eyes smoothly. For a moment, an unspeakable fear once again occupied his inner world.
There was some movement in his ears. He opened his mouth to ask something, but couldn't even say a word.
His tongue and mouth were as if they had never existed on him. He couldn't even feel his face!
In this darkness, a pair of hands grasped his palm tightly. He could feel that his grasped hand was very painful, but it also gave him a sense of security that could not be described in words.
"Don't worry, you are in the hospital and I am next to you."
It was the agent's voice, and Magellan suddenly became excited. He wanted to know what happened, why he was in the hospital, why he couldn't open his eyes, or even speak.
At this moment, the door in the room opened, and there were new footsteps, but no one came in. The manager patted the back of his hand and said in his ear, "The doctor is looking for me. I'll go over there. Don't mess around." move… "
After saying that, he broke free from Magellan's hand and walked out regardless of Magellan's reservation.
The door of the room was gently closed, and the agent and the doctor walked into the doctor's office on duty. After the two sat down, the doctor sighed.
He took off his mask and put it on the table without looking up at the agent. "The current situation is very bad. The attackers used highly corrosive chemicals. Mr. Magellan's eyes were burned immediately and he recovered." The possibility is infinitely close to zero.”
"In addition, during his struggle, large areas of facial skin and muscles were burned and damaged, and his tongue was also very severely burned. He may lose the ability to speak."
"Also, his hands and arms..."
The agent's mind went blank, and the doctor's expression was very clear. There was no doubt that Magellan was finished!
This does not mean that he is dead, but that his future, all his ideals and pursuits were completely destroyed by this attack.
Can such a person with a disfigured face, blind eyes, loss of speech ability and the need to eat liquid food become an actor, an actor with a certain status and weight in the world
Of course not, his career was over, just when they were about to start a new life.
He didn't stop at what the doctor said next. His brain was buzzing, his temples were bulging, and he also had severe tinnitus.
He looked at the doctor's concerned eyes, took a breath suddenly, stood up and walked towards the door, trying to figure out what all this was about.
Why, people can be so cruel, use such terrible means to destroy a person's body, destroy a person's spiritual support, and completely destroy a good young man.
The attacker did not leave after attacking Magellan, but chose to wait for the police to arrive. He was soon arrested for "surrendering".
Yes, he called the police before the attack, so the police arrived very promptly, and this was an act of surrender.
He did not wear shackles during his detention, and it was also because of his surrender that he gained a lot of impression points.
The agent did not see the attacker at the police station. He was temporarily detained in a local jail and will not see anyone except his lawyer until the trial.
The agent found the police officer who was handling the case, and the police officer showed him the file. For a moment, the agent's only emotion was to laugh, laugh loudly, and laugh at the whole world.
The man explained in his transcript that the reason why he attacked Magellan was entirely because Magellan killed one of his favorite stars—of course, in previous movies starring Magellan, it was very unusual for him to kill the villain as the protagonist. Normal things.
But the attacker's idol played a villain in that movie and was killed by Magellan's character, and since then, the actor has said he was not in good health and decided to take a break from acting, which the attacker believed This is all Magellan's fault.
On the morning of the incident, when he went out for morning exercise, he saw Magellan waiting for the ship at the dock, so he suddenly wanted to take revenge on this despicable young man. Without any plan or premeditation, a crime of passion was born.
After reading the file, the police officer who handled it looked at the agent with a complicated expression, and then told him even worse news in a low voice.
The attacker suffered from severe depression, mania, and paranoia. Coupled with his surrender behavior and the performance of a crime of passion, it is very likely that the attacker will not go to any prison, but will be sent to a mental hospital by the judge. go.
In other words, the attacker was able to escape legal sanctions very quickly, because the mental hospital only accepts sick patients, and they do not welcome patients who are not sick.
This is a conspiracy. There is no doubt that the agent knows that someone must want to get rid of Magellan, but who
Dulin
No, it shouldn't be Dulin. Although Magellan and Dulin didn't deal with it, everyone knew that Dulin was the governor and had a high status and reputation in the empire. Even if such a person did something bad again, he wouldn't do it. This was a way to punish Magellan.
He believed even more that if Du Lin did it, Du Lin would kill him directly and throw him into the sea. That was Du Lin's style.
Perhaps, if you want to know what happened, you must find out what happened to Magellan at Uncle Griffin's party.
What made Griffin's uncle want to kill Magellan, an extremely small person? Only by figuring this out can the real murderer be found.
The attack on Magellan caused some waves in Ilian. After all, this is the largest film production base in the empire. Among the pedestrians who can be seen everywhere on the street, at least three out of every ten people are film workers.
Regardless of whether Magellan is important to them or not, and whether there is affection and friendship between them, consuming victims to reflect their great sentiments has always been a common method used by people of all colors in society.
Those filmmakers who previously said they would block Magellan and refuse to cooperate with him immediately stood up to support Magellan. Griffin's uncle even donated a thousand yuan to help Magellan pay for the hospital's treatment costs.
For this reason, many people praise Uncle Griffin's noble character. In this regard, Griffin's uncle believes that the more important a person's role is in society, the more social responsibilities he should assume.
He patted Dulin's horse from a distance and claimed that some of Mr. Dulin's speeches and quotations inspired his sense of social responsibility and helped him find the right direction in his life.
The entire Ilian and even the eastern and southern regions of the empire are consuming victims. Everyone is trying their best to get some benefits for themselves, but in fact no one cares about what kind of situation Magellan is at this time.
He is permanently blind in both eyes and cannot express himself due to the burns that cannot be removed. He eats liquid food through a straw every day and the whole world is in darkness.
His parents also rushed to Ilian and accepted the fact.
Because this incident triggered great social discussion, the Ilian District Court directly omitted some procedures, and the prosecutor prosecuted the attacker.
Under the heavy coverage of the media, on the day of the trial, something else that people had never imagined was revealed. The attacker suddenly became a victim. Public opinion in the entire society lost the ability to organize language on this day. .
The attacker was abused as a child and lived in a dark and desperate living environment for a long time, which caused his character to become sensitive and extreme, and also caused a series of tragedies in the future.
In short, this attacker's life and behavior cannot be summed up with just two words: "murderer".
After a brief period of aphasia, social public opinion began to go astray. Starting from the abuse suffered by the attacker in the same year, they began to reflect on and discuss some issues that had arisen in the process of social development. People gradually forgot that the victims who really needed people's care were still lying in bed. In a hospital bed.
In mid-December, the sea surface off the coast of Ilian began to freeze, and the weather was extremely cold. On the 17th, the long-lost sun showed its smiling face from behind the gloomy sky.
Although the cold wind was still cold and the sunlight was not so warm on people's bodies, people still walked out of their rooms onto the streets.
With Districts 8 and 9, Ilian’s winter break is a thing of the past.
On such a rare sunny day, a patient jumped from the window of the ward on the eighth floor of the hospital's inpatient department, ending his 22-year-old life.
This day happened to be his birthday.
"died?"
Dulin put down what he was doing and rubbed the bridge of his nose. After winter, more things happened in Ambiluo State. After several fierce court battles, he finally won.
The RMB 16.79 million and some scattered banknotes in the account of the Ambiluo State Mining Company were confiscated by the state government. Part of this money was used for the construction of the camp outside Yagul Mountain, and the rest was used for Project expenditures related to gold diggers.
Among them, the reconstruction and reinforcement of abandoned mining areas is also a large expenditure.
This amount, plus the state government's financial allocation, totals 22 million, which can be regarded as meeting the current approximate expenditure of the current project. It will be divided into four phases and will be allocated periodically to the engineering team.
He took the newspaper from Dufo's hand, which had a photo of Magellan jumping off a building. He casually read the article in the newspaper, threw the newspaper into the trash can, and started to work again.
After about a minute or so, he suddenly said, "Check who did it."
