This thought flashed through Lai Yang's mind for a second, but he quickly denied it.
I don’t have any friends in the cinema industry, maybe their voices are just more popular.
"Hello, you are the operations director of Wanda Cinema, right?"
As soon as Lai Yang finished speaking, the other party seemed a little impatient and asked him who he was and where the call came from.
"It's like this. We are hosting a comedy show and would like to cooperate with our cinema to perform. No performance team in Shanghai has done this before. This is undoubtedly a good publicity for our cinema."
"We've agreed to meet on June 2 to talk about this."
"Oh... Then in order to make our interview go more smoothly, I want to ask..."
"I've already said that we'll meet and talk. I have something to do right now, so I'll hang up first."
Beep beep beep~
Lai Yang was a little dazed holding the phone, and suddenly felt like a basin of cold water was poured over his head.
Starting a business is really full of ups and downs, ups and downs...
I racked my brains to come up with a plan, but I didn't expect it to fail before I could even finish my words.
At this moment, he wanted to hear Yuan Sheng's loud voice, wanted to hear her chatter, wanted to hear her scold the other person, and then he would comfort her and tell her to be more mature...
Although it's a bit dog-like, just thinking about it can make me feel better.
I just don’t know how long it will take her to return to Shanghai.
Lai Yang couldn't ask this question, because he knew that if he urged her, she would probably come back immediately...
…
Time is like quicksand, it slips through your fingers if you are not careful. June has already come to the world with great vigor and enthusiasm.
This month seems to be a watershed. The city has become hot and people on the streets seem to have changed into summer clothes overnight.
The young girls walking on the street are all dressed very coolly, with all kinds of miniskirts that are eye-catching, and all kinds of proud figures can be seen everywhere in the subway.
The club suspended performances today, so Lai Yang and Li Dian took everyone to take the subway to Changji East Road Station to perform at a bar called "Lan Yue Tai".
Lai Yang actually doesn’t like performing in bars because everyone in the audience is drinking and no one is listening.
Even Lai Yang was unable to liven up the atmosphere. Instead, after the performance, several beautiful women in pleated skirts and long legs came on stage to dance, which immediately livened up the place.
After the performance, Lai Yang asked everyone to go back and rest, while he walked along the Changji East Road subway entrance.
.
This area is close to Suzhou. Although it still belongs to Shanghai, it is very remote and can even be described as desolate.
Looking around, there are only a few residential buildings and the shopping complex where the bar is located nearby. Apart from that, there are only wide roads and a big river called "Zhaozaobang".
Lai Yang walked to the river, found a reed marsh and sat down, lit a cigarette and watched the waves on the water. The sound of the reeds rustling in the wind filled his ears.
A feeling of loneliness arises spontaneously.
At this time the sky was blue, and the clouds were like cotton wool, gently moving in the air. The river was wrapped in reeds, and some branches and leaves were floating on the water. From time to time, some bubbles rolled up and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Lai Yang was smoking a cigarette and thinking about his childhood in a trance.
At that time, I lived in the staff building of the chemical plant. When I returned to the factory after school, the adults had just got off work. They were wearing dark blue work clothes, the same color as the sky now.
Some people's work uniforms are very dirty, with greasy black collars, but no one will make fun of them. Their faces are covered with sweat stains, but they are chatting about whose house they will go to play cards later.
There are several locust trees behind the factory. When the flowering season comes, I always call Yuan Shengda and Yuan Bin, and climb the trees together to pick locust flowers, and bring them back for my parents to make dumplings.
Yuan Shengda was not good at climbing trees, but he would force himself every time. Once, he was riding on the tree trunk and couldn't get down. That day, my parents and my second uncle's family went out together for something, so Yuan Shengda stayed there until dark, hanging on the tree with the moon, crying his eyes out.
Lai Yang smiled, and he didn't know when the cigarette burned out. After throwing away the cigarette butt, he lay down on the reed marsh again, looked at the sky for a while, and fell asleep in a daze.
He had a dream about the future.
In the dream, Yuan Shengda put on a wedding dress and got married. When I saw her again, she had become a mother, very similar to my second mother when she was young.
He was also married, but the bride's appearance was always obscured by the veil and he could not see it clearly. Then he saw his friends. They all seemed to have aged, and the corners of their eyes had lost the youthful spirit.
Li Dian seemed to have become bald, Song Wen and Yun Lu had gained weight, and Alu no longer wore leather jackets and was no longer handsome.
Qianying and Xu Mo have also become middle-aged women, and the years have left indelible marks on everyone...
When Lai Yang woke up, the sky was already dark, as if it had been sprinkled with ink.
Lai Yang didn't know why he had this dream. It might be because he had been living in a fast-paced city for a long time, with endless things to deal with every day, and rarely thought about life.
and the meaning of time.
So when he arrived at Zhuozaobang, his soul seemed to be cleansed, making him calm.
Before it got completely dark, he took out his cell phone and took a picture of the water. Just in time, a white water bird landed beside the reeds on the opposite side of the river bank and was frozen in the picture.
He wanted to send it to Tian Jing, but he didn’t have her WeChat, so Lai Yang simply sent a MMS.
After a while, Tianjing replied and asked him if this river was the Juezao River.
You are indeed from Shanghai, you can tell that? Lai Yang replied with a smile.
There aren't many big rivers in Shanghai, so I'm just guessing.
You guessed it right, but then again, Jingjing, would you rather text me than add me on WeChat? One text message costs ten cents
Tianjing didn't seem to be busy at the moment and replied quickly: Well, before WeChat, people just sent text messages. If you think it's too expensive, don't send it.
You are awesome! But to be honest, I miss the era of texting. At that time, communication was efficient and information was valuable. It is not like now with WeChat, where you can send messages whenever you want, but most of the messages are nonsense. For example, people often ask me, "Are you there?" I... If I am not there, why would I reply? I send a "yes" and people ask again, "Are you asleep?" Fuck you!
Hahaha!
Jingjing, just post a hahahaha, it's only ten cents, you are so cool~
After sending this message, Tianjing didn't reply for a long time, so Laiyang asked: Are you there
I was in a meeting and didn't sleep.
After Tian Jing replied, she sent another message saying that she would go to Xiamen in a few days. Yunbin is trying to transform himself this year and will be busy throughout the year.
Lai Yang felt a little disappointed, and after a while he said: Oh, if I had met you a year earlier, would it have been much better
Tian Jing never replied to this message.
Lai Yang waited and waited until the lights in the residential building across the shore came on, then he got up and walked towards the subway entrance.
…
It was not too late when he returned to the theater. Lai Yang asked Li Dian for the performance fee, which was a stack of cash. He took it to Yunbin Building, wanting to use the excuse of paying rent to see if Tian Jing had gotten off work.
As a result, he just took the elevator to the quiet office floor, when the elevator opened, a man looked up in surprise.
Lai Yang was stunned. He never expected to meet Yu Bo here!
