high intensity friendship

At the end of July, on a hot evening, cicadas made people panic.

On the street shaded by dense trees, inside a small restaurant.The glass countertop was a bit deserted, with a plate of fatty sausages, a plate of mixed vegetables, and two cups of Erguotou.The vertical air conditioner in the corner of the room was still breathing out cold air, but it was still hot.

Opposite to Yue Xiaochuan, the handsome man with yellow hair and blue eyes threw a fat sausage into his mouth, took another sip of white wine, and spoke in a modified version of Mandarin. Er Huayin still couldn't understand:

"Chuan'er, as for me, I am with you mainly to practice Chinese, learn Kung Fu, and gain a deeper understanding of the profound Chinese culture. But you are always busy and don't practice Chinese with me. The only time you show your Kung Fu is to beat me up. This Forget it, don't let me understand deeply, don't let me be profound, let's be friends again, huh?"

Yue Xiaochuan smiled, "I think your Chinese is really good, and you know idioms."

The foreigner's name is Xiao Ma, and his real name is Ma Fenjin. He is from the British Empire and is studying in J City.But when I introduce myself, I will emphasize that I am Scottish.

They met a few months ago while filming a drink commercial.On set, they exchanged glances.At this glance, a certain kind of universal love wave, crossing the cultural barriers of the Eurasian continent, converged in one place without words.

When receiving the lunch box, they exchanged contact information after a few rounds of eye contact.At that time, Yue Xiaochuan hadn't been in a relationship for a long time, and Xiao Ma was enthusiastic and interesting. He also wanted to practice speaking, so he tried to date.

It was agreed to give it a try, Xiao Ma insisted on coming with real swords and guns, and this international friend was beaten during an unwanted physical contact.

Even if Xiao Ma didn't mention the matter of breaking up, Yue Xiaochuan would still raise it tactfully.

Cultural differences and conservative thinking are just one aspect.On the other hand, he wanted to learn a dignified and glamorous Cockney accent for free, instead of a Scotch country corn stubble accent like he drank too much whiskey.

The first time Pony taught him English, he thought it was German.I'm really ignorant. It turns out that not all British people open their mouths with BBC sentiment.

"I wish you a bright future and become a big star soon."

"I wish you success in your studies, and soon... be broad and profound."

It was already dark when I came out of the small restaurant, and the heat was blowing on my face, and my neck was immediately covered with a sticky feeling.The two broke up amicably and became friends who learned each other's language and culture. They made an appointment to watch a movie together next weekend.

It was 08:30 when we got out of the subway station. As soon as we entered, Yue Xiaochuan rushed into the bathroom, took a cold shower, fell on the bed, turned on the air conditioner, and logged on to Weibo.

Roommate Qu Zhe's intermittent guitar sound came from the master bedroom.Yue Xiaochuan is an actor, and Qu Zhe is an independent musician. At first glance, they are quite high-end, and they are simply a family of artists.

In fact, one is a walk-on, and also works as a graphic model; the other teaches children to play the guitar, and occasionally helps people arrange music and sing harmony.They used to belong to the same small company that has closed down, and they are fellow villagers, so their relationship is very close.

Even without reading Weibo for a day, he gained hundreds of fans.Finally broke through the [-] mark, and crossing the [-] mark is just around the corner.

The most recent Weibo post was a selfie taken two days ago when I took a sample photo for a wedding photography studio, and I added a lot of comments:

come and see.

passing by.

To be honest, he is really handsome, but his acting skills are too poor.

Take less pictures and read more.

Fairy appearance, devil acting skills.

"What, gods and devils don't get along at all. They don't belong to the same circle. There's a jet lag. We should say angels and devils."

Yue Xiaochuan seriously replied to all the comments and private messages, and smiled lightly at the compliments, because he knew he was handsome and photogenic; he was also happy with the criticisms, because it meant that at least someone noticed his role.After taking a nap, he didn't know the origin of these heavenly fans until Qu Zhe came to knock on the door.

"Chuan'er, have you read it?" Qu Zhe suppressed a smile as if he was constipated.

"Ok?"

"Come, come, come."

Yue Xiaochuan was pleasantly surprised by the smile and eagerness on his friend's face.Qu Zhe led him to his bedroom, where a video was stopped on the monitor that was always densely covered with audio waveforms.

"It's not suitable for children, right?" Yue Xiaochuan half-understood, exchanged a glance with Qu Zhe, touched the left mouse button, and started his relationship with that man.

"It's been a long time since I've updated, today I'm going to show you a horror movie with negative 5 cents special effects..."

Last year, before the disbandment of the company, Yue Xiaochuan had the honor of participating in a low-cost online movie "The Wheel of Terror", and he knew it was a copycat from the title.He played the male supporting role with split personality disorder, which is his only role so far that has a beginning and an end.

It's not the nameless character, or the eunuch who was shot in a few episodes, the killer who stopped after pretending to be forced, or the Japanese spy who was headshot when he showed his face.It's a truly complete character with a lot of lines, close-up shots, and a lot of room to play.

This movie is really bad, but Yue Xiaochuan is very satisfied with himself.He deliberately sent the entire film and his own story line edits to his family, asking his parents to gather as many relatives and friends as possible to watch it together.

The second aunt said that he could win an Oscar.

At this moment, the anchor in the video is making fun of the movie.I have to admit that although the other party's comments are sharp and vicious, they are well-founded, and the goofy shots also pointed out them one by one.

but!

Starting from two-thirds of the video, the icy voice changed the topic: "After talking about the plot, I want to focus on the male supporting actor who plays one of the villains."

Next, Yue Xiaochuan was in a daze for a moment, and almost punched Qu Zhe's precious idi keyboard.He had never seen such a vicious old man.All the middle-aged and elderly women in my hometown who have participated in street fighting and cursing in the street are not as good as him.

"This actor probably misunderstood something about split personalities. Screaming like a groundhog, laughing like an alpaca, and the back teeth are exposed. I thought his alter ego was a horse. I really want to feed him Eat some fodder. This exaggerated performance during blackening is filled with the magical atmosphere of the 90s of the last century, a small county town of heavy industry, and a perfect combination of stroke and shofar wind... I think he belongs to the pioneer of the realism genre of magic sand sculptures originator."

Yue Xiaochuan paused the video, took a few steps back, his butt sank, and hit the bed heavily.There seems to be a strong wind whistling in the ears, and thousands of crows sing together.The fierce spit pierced into the skin, and with the blood rushing, thousands of arrows pierced the heart.

Qu Zhe burst out laughing, then apologized in a low voice.After a few seconds, I couldn't help laughing again.

"I'm sorry buddy, I, I didn't laugh at you, it's really... ahahahaha... just keep watching, he praised you too." Qu Zhe laughed wildly.

In the paused screen, the barrage is also like "hahaha", which is reflected palely in Yue Xiaochuan's eyes.The corners of his eyes are slightly raised, extremely energetic, and his pupils are beautiful amber.

Yue Xiaochuan closed his eyes slightly, calmed down, let the video continue, and heard a compliment: "The face is pretty handsome, he is the only one who hasn't fixed the entire crew."

He sat by the bed for a while, then went back to the room silently.Qu Zhe's comforting words came through the door: "I think your acting is pretty good, really, what does this person know, just sensationalize."

"It's nothing, it's okay, you are busy with your work."

Yue Xiaochuan turned on his laptop, pulled out "Wheel of Terror", resisted the tingling in his heart, and re-examined his performance.It is indeed too much force and too full of emotions, but I want to complete the blackening in a short time, so I can't stop acting.

He logged on to the video site and found the heart-wrenching anchor: Di Jiu.

This person updates the Buddhist system and is not a big anchor, but he also has 10,000+ fans.The columns are basically divided into three categories: appreciation and analysis of good movies, complaints about bad movies, and popular science of film photography.

Yue Xiaochuan wrung his hands hard and watched the video again.The man's voice is very magnetic, like a cup of cold coffee, mellow but not warm.

Different from the roaring commentary of other anchors of the same type, his poisonous tongue is hidden in the narration, as if talking about the weather.

This made Yue Xiaochuan even more angry, as if someone was scolding your whole family by singing an opera.

He private messaged the man on Weibo: Hello, I saw you updated a video last night, and I am the actor you criticized.

After a while, the man replied: Oh, is that Yue Xiaochuan, hello.

Come on Ogawa: I think your evaluation of me is biased.

Dijiu: So what is your self-evaluation?

Come on Xiao Chuan: Although not brilliant, but quite satisfactory.Absolutely none of what you said, like groundhogs, alpacas and horses.You use three animals in a row to compare me, I can't accept it.Moreover, what happened to the small county town of heavy industry?

Jijiu: So?

Come on Ogawa: Please cut the last third of the video before posting it.

Di Jiu: But your acting skills are really bad.I won't change it, that's my true opinion.

Come on Xiao Chuan: I have been playing tricks for seven years, and I only played such a complete role.

Di Jiu: Maybe you worked very hard, but I don't know, and neither do the audience.Everyone can only see that your acting skills are too scary.I still have something to do. Seeing that you are still serious, I will give you a suggestion: calm down and practice your lines first. It is best to go to a small theater to perform a drama to hone your skills.Without subtitles, I can't even understand what you're saying.As an actor, just do it well, don't always take on wedding photography and online clothing stores.

Yue Xiaochuan was almost pissed off by these words, and replied: Don't you eat fireworks?Easier said than done.I'm not right?I haven't been with the group for a long time, and I only occasionally act in local web drama corporate promotional videos, and my income is not stable.

After a while, Di Jiu replied: Poor acting skills have nothing to do with life pressure.

Yue Xiaochuan continued to ask the man to delete the video, and his tone gradually became tougher. At the same time, he noticed that the man lived in J City.

After fighting with the keyboard for half an hour, Yue Xiaochuan's emotions completely fell to the bottom.Even trivial things like "I ate fat intestines for the breakup meal" added to the heavy heart.

The sole purpose of family members registering various social and video software accounts is to regularly search for his updates. Seeing this kind of messy complaints must cause blood pressure to soar.Yue Xiaochuan admitted that he was at a loss for words, and he was on top.Trying to argue with a vicious streamer is starting from the wrong place.

A gentleman uses his mouth but does not move his hands. The road ahead is blocked and he has to go the back road.

Come on Xiao Chuan: Do you dare to have a fight with me? If you lose, delete the video.

Dijiu: Then what good does it do for me to win?

Come on Ogawa: I posted a video on Weibo imitating a groundhog.Come on, make an appointment, try to be along the subway line.

Just when Yue Xiaochuan thought this guy was intimidated, the other party sent an address provocatively: I am busy, come to my house to find me, and I will reimburse the fare.

"Damn, you think I'm afraid to go?" Yue Xiaochuan changed into a T-shirt and sports shorts, and rushed out the door.

"Why are you going?" Qu Zhe asked, who was getting a Coke from the refrigerator.

"Find that grandson to single out."
