Seventy two hundred

"In my group, I have never been unhappy overnight. It doesn't matter who is unhappy, I have to coax it in the end. If it doesn't work, let's have a drink or two. You can ask whatever you want."

"Or, do you want Tangtang too? It's a pity I gave it to my little sister, otherwise I could use it to coax you."

This time it was finally Guan Ming's turn to be surprised by Xu Tang's words.

The hand in his pocket clenched the cigarette case, which was originally intended to be handed to Xu Tang to smoke, but now it was squeezed a little bit by his palm, and then slowly loosened.

After a while, Guan Ming took out a hard beige cigarette case from his trouser pocket, and handed it to Xu Tang with warmth, lowering his eyes: "I want to eat, but you don't have any."

Xu Tang took the cigarette box naturally, held it lightly in his palm, and twisted the soft cardboard on the surface with his fingers. The warmth from another person's palm had already been blown away by the cool wind in early autumn, and he quietly hid it.

"Don't underestimate me, brother." Xu Tang, who is familiar with the road, took out a cigarette holder and put it to his mouth. The golden cigarette holder was held by his two lips, which looked particularly delicate under the bright moonlight. Xu Tang smiled with a cigarette in his mouth He asked, "Just tell me what kind of candy you want?"

Guan Ming took a cigarette that Xu Tang handed back, took out a lighter from his pocket, moved closer, wrapped Xu Tang's hand to help him light the cigarette, the night was too dense, and there was a breeze, the distance between them was so close Soon they can see the texture of each other's skin clearly.

Guan Ming took a deep look at Xu Tang, let go of his hand, lit his own cigarette again, and said casually, "There is no one for sale in the market."

Xu Tang hooked the corners of his lips, smoked a cigarette and walked forward without speaking, while Guan Ming followed silently beside him without saying a word.

They walked to the hotel gate, walked out of the courtyard, and smoked separately in the night breeze. They didn't feel too cold, the temperature was comfortable, and the atmosphere was deep, which was especially suitable for heart-to-heart conversation.

Without waiting for Xu Tang to speak, Guan Ming spoke first: "I have spoken too much during the day, sorry."

Xu Tang lowered his head and smiled, and the smoke fluttered around his lips, slowly merging with the smoke exhaled by Guan Ming in the surrounding air.

"You're right. I'm a little impatient." Xu Tang patted Guan Ming on the back and said, "As a director, it's important to find out the contradictions, but as a bystander, I'm also reflecting on myself. What is Tian Lin going to do with Yunhai Town?"

The town was very quiet at night, Xu Tang couldn't walk properly, turned his body around, and walked backwards facing Guan Ming.

He held the cigarette in one hand and put the other in his pocket, put on a naughty look like a big boy, and exhaled a long puff of smoke.

He walked slowly and said eloquently: "In the process of making a documentary, we will encounter various abnormal factors, such as sudden bad weather, damaged and lost props, uncooperative subjects, conflicting work concepts, etc. It's all too normal."

"There is also a question of the bottom line of morality. For example, today we saw that the subjects were arguing. When a fight breaks out, we probably shouldn’t stand by and stop irreparable damage before it happens, instead of stepping on the ethical bottom line of the documentary to continue filming. Therefore, during the filming of the documentary, we should not only protect the subject, but also Protect yourself."

Holding a cigarette in his hand and not smoking, Guan Ming accompanied Xu Tang, keeping pace with him, looked up at him, and asked, "What does it mean to protect yourself?"

Xu Tang laughed again, took the last puff of his cigarette, looked at Guan Ming, and said, "Just protect your original intention of creation, and don't show a glass heart like you."

Guan Ming's expression was not very good-looking, he pursed his lips and said nothing, Xu Tang smiled deeper, the lines of laughter at the end of his eyes appeared quietly, and he just stared at Guan Ming's face.

"Okay, okay", Xu Tang put back his smile and said, "Brother Ming is not a glass heart, is that okay?"

Guan Ming still didn't speak, but silently rolled his eyes.He turned around to avoid Xu Tang's sight, but his ears were still listening to Xu Tang's soft voice: "If you are overwhelmed by the subject's pain, experienced torture, and affected your creation, then your film is destined to be fail."

"Every place we go and everyone we meet has our own trajectory. We discover other people's joy, happiness, pain, and sorrow. This is our job responsibility and obligation. When our conscience is difficult, You can take action, help if you can, but the premise is not to affect your own work."

Xu Tang stood still, Guan Ming also stopped, looked over intently, and found that Xu Tang's eyes seemed to be shining brightly under the dim street light, his face was as calm as water, yet seemed to hide the majesty of the waves.

He looked at Guan Ming and said, "When to strike, when to stop, what truth needs to be thoroughly uncovered, and what room for imagination needs to be left to the audience to understand. These are all knowledge."

"Similar to the success of every profession in the world, it is not easy to make a documentary. I was noisy back then, I didn't understand, and I am still learning now. I have talked so much with you because I admire you as a person. , your ability is obvious to all, I believe that one day you will realize this."

Guan Ming nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Understood, thank you, I will study hard."

The two became side by side, and walked forward together. In the middle of the night, the streets of the town were almost empty, and there were few cars. There was a bit of mud hidden on the stone road on the ground, and the colorful street signs were all hidden. Light, lost color.

"Actually," while walking, Guan Ming suddenly said, looking very abrupt in the empty street: "I just think Tian Lin is a bit like me."

Xu Tang slowed down when he heard it, turned to look at Guan Ming, but Guan Ming didn't look at him, and said to himself, his voice was softer, as if hiding a heart that he didn't want to reveal. One point was released: "My parents have never been with me since I was a child. They divorced very early, and they are both very busy. We don't have the opportunity to get together as a family of three, but whenever we meet, we will definitely quarrel."

Hearing these unpleasant words, Xu Tang's thoughtfulness came out of his body again. He took out the pack of cigarettes that Guan Ming gave him just now, took out one and held it between his fingers, and raised his hand to signal: "Will you Do you smoke?"

Guan Ming turned around, looked at Xu Tang with low eyes, his eyes seemed to be covered with unresolved aggrievedness, with his hands in his pockets, motionless, he sighed lightly and said, "Please light one for me. "

As if given a strange order, Xu Tang obediently squeezed the cigarette and stuffed it into Guan Ming's mouth, and lit it for him under Guan Ming's gaze. lilac smoke.

"They gave birth to me, but they were too lazy to raise me. They didn't participate in my growth, but they wanted to ask about everything about me."

Guan Ming smoked a cigarette silently, and said so lightly but heavily: "No matter how good my grades are, as long as I don't like studying, they won't accept it. , but even if it is the photography major I want to choose in college, and the film and television industry I am engaged in, they will oppose it. In their eyes, I will always be synonymous with rebellion and not doing business properly."

The dim street light poured down from the edge of the dilapidated lampshade, covering Guan Ming's whole body. He walked heavily and had a strong figure, but he looked tall and helpless, like a child eager to hug.

So Xu Tang took a step forward, facing Guan Ming and said softly, "Come on, give me a hug."

On the quiet and somewhat deserted street, Xu Tang stood in front of Guan Ming and opened his arms to Guan Ming, but Guan Ming shook his head, laughed lightly at himself, and said, "It's okay, no need."

On the contrary, Xu Tang refused to let go: "What's the matter with hugging between brothers? Come on, come on, don't be hypocritical!"

Guan Ming was still standing, motionless, the smoke he had just exhaled surrounded him, his eyes seemed to be filled with mist like an unreal mystery, he stared at Xu Tang indifferently, and said, "But, I don't want to be your brother."
