The sound of cars on the road cut through the long street, and there were two young figures on skateboards on the empty sidewalk, piercing the light night fog and sliding forward.
After leaving Maiji, Lei Yue followed Lingsha all the way away from the North Gate Square of the Film and Television City, and gradually reached those remote back streets.
Ayasa didn't say anything. He thought he was going to a private house, because many underground movies are made by a few people in one house, especially thrillers.
However, as he followed through another dilapidated dark alley, he vaguely heard the sounds of lively people.
In front of me, deep in the streets and alleys where there are many abandoned old houses that have not been demolished, red, purple, blue and other neon lights are flashing.
Lei Yue looked around, and saw the voices and light coming from a bar in front that looked like it had been converted from an old warehouse. A large neon sign hung above the door: [Hometown Bar]
The red brick exterior wall is covered with street punk-style graffiti. Among the colorful patterns, words such as "Oli Gei", "Open Swing" and "Hi Pi Niu Ye" are spray-painted.
There is no one guarding the door of the bar. Customers come in and out in twos and threes, most of them smiling. It seems that late at night is a good time for a stroll.
"Lingsha..." Lei Yue couldn't help shouting, "Is it the bar in front?"
This kind of place is very unfamiliar to him. His mother-in-law used to be strict in discipline. Even if he went to entertainment venues, he would only go to karaoke. He had never been to a bar like this.
"Yes, keep up." Ayasha responded, stepping on the road, and the yellow longboard accelerated and slid away.
In the blink of an eye, Lei Yue saw her arriving at the door of the bar, jumping off the ground, putting away her skateboard, and walking into the bar. She was obviously familiar with the road.
He was afraid that he would lose him, so he quickly sped up to catch up. Because the movement was a bit too big, another stream of blood spurted out from his neck.
When we arrived at the door, there happened to be a group of drunken guests coming out, "Boy, get out of the way!" "Don't block the way."
Lei Yue ignored them and squeezed into the bar. A hot and noisy atmosphere suddenly hit his face, and he saw a noisy scene in front of him.
Decadent decoration, confusing lights, a dance floor filled with people, customers toasting and laughing at the long bar, and customers having fun at each wine table.
The strong smell of tobacco and alcohol filled the air, and every breath felt like his internal organs were burning.
Bang, bang, Lei Yue's heart was beating a little fast and chaotically, and he was at a loss for what to do for a moment, as if he was a drowning person in the sea at night.
He glanced around and could barely see Ayasha's figure, and quickly chased after her. If she hadn't been carrying the yellow long board, he wouldn't have been able to find her.
It is normal for the guests here to dye their hair, have tattoos, and dress in punk style.
"Follow me." Lingsha looked back at Lei Yue, disapproving of the surrounding scenes.
Lei Yue just followed behind. He didn't know if he would have come here if it weren't for Lingsha, his new friend. I really don't know...
The glare above the warehouse rotated and the light and darkness changed. At this time, the right side of Lei Yue's face was darkened, while the left side was exposed to the light.
There was a group of drinkers around who happened to look at him, and they immediately exclaimed in shock: "Ah!" "Brother, what are you?" "Oh my god!" Several people whistled at him.
Lei Yue narrowed his eyes and walked straight over.
However, Ayasa in front stopped, turned around and walked back. She glanced at the group of people, as if to remember who they were, "I'll take care of them later." She continued walking forward as she said that.
"There's no need to cause trouble, I'm here to act..." Lei Yue said to her, not wanting to get involved with those gangsters, what's the point.
"Now that you are not famous, there is no need." Ayasa said, "If your name is on the street one day, and everyone can treat you so casually, then no one will respect you."
Are you famous? What kind of name are you? Lei Yue was silent and followed Ayasha through the noisy crowd to an iron staircase leading to the second floor of the bar. He walked on the shaky iron steps to the second floor.
The second floor is hollow, with only a circle of space above the warehouse covered with iron railings. You can lean on the railings to see the bustle on the first floor.
It's a lot quieter here, and there aren't many places for wine tables.
Ayasha walked towards a corner, where there was an old and damaged black leather sofa. There were only three people sitting there, two men and one woman.
As Lei Yue walked, he saw a man in his prime with short mohawk hair. He was tall and wearing a gray coat with rock beads. He was not smoking or drinking at this time.
The other man looked younger, in his thirties, wearing a Hawaiian-style floral shirt and beach shorts. He was dressed up with oily hair and a pink face. He was smoking heavily and drinking beer.
And that woman, sitting on the small sofa opposite them, had blond curly hair, wore a low-cut dress, and had a mature face that was sexy and beautiful.
The exposed skin of the three people has more or less tattoos, some on their arms and some on their necks, which are as colorful as the graffiti on the exterior wall of a bar.
They were talking about something when they saw someone approaching. They stopped talking and turned to look.
"Hey? Look who's here, Ayasha!" The man in the colorful shirt who smoked and drank suddenly shouted, "Welcome, welcome."
The man with the mohawk said nothing, while the blond woman opened her arms to hug Ayasha.
"I brought someone to you." Ayasha said directly without going to sit down. "Aren't you working on a new movie recently? He may be suitable for starring."
"Oh?" The mohawk man cast his eyes curiously, "Is that young man, what's so special about him?"
"It's very special." Lingsha looked at Lei Yue, "It's just that I'm about to die, so I have to step up."
Lei Yue looked at the people in front of him. His ears were buzzing, as if there were many dead sounds. He stopped and then walked up.
He walked to a brightly lit place, showed his bad face to the three people, and said: "Hello everyone, I am Lei Yue, I studied acting, and now I am playing a small role in the film and television city."
He noticed that when the three of them saw his face, their expressions changed slightly, and the man with a mohawk who looked like the boss of the crew shrank his eyes, as if he had seen some strange creature.
"..." Lei Yue couldn't help but feel nervous, as if he was standing at the art exam again, facing a group of examiners.
"Wow." The silence was suddenly broken by the surprise laughter of the man in the flowered shirt, "Ayasha! I have always said that Ayasha is a genius, and she has found such a person, okay, okay! I have a feeling that this time we
, I’m really going to get rich!”
The man in the colorful shirt took a swig of beer, his face flushed with drunkenness, and his tone became more and more excited as he spoke:
"If it works this time, I will buy a good piano for my child! It is a man's responsibility. A man has to make money to support his family."
The blond woman also smiled and slowly sipped the glass of red wine, "Oh, I want to buy a child."
She looked at Ayasha again and asked: "Is this handsome boy your ideal man?"
Ayasha shrugged, dissatisfied with the other party's boring and flat tone, "Friends, it's nothing else."
"That's great." The blonde woman said happily, "Lei Yue? Do you want to change places with me and do it first? Your face makes me so excited."
Lei Yue's heart suddenly twitched, and he was a little stunned. Not many people would joke with him, and this kind of joke...
He felt that out of the corner of his eyes, he couldn't help but want to see Ayasa's reaction, but she showed no reaction.
Friends, of course...
He felt a little disappointed and a little relieved, of course.
"No." Lei Yue put away all kinds of distracting thoughts and said with a non-joking expression, "I'm here to act."
While speaking, he cast his eyes on the man with short mohawk hair who was still silent.
Several other people around him gradually looked at the man. The man in the flowered shirt asked impatiently: "How is it? For a person with such characteristics, I think he is definitely suitable."
The blond woman did not comment, and Ayasha seemed to stay out of the matter as soon as she came here and introduced Lei Yue.
"Maybe." The mohawk man continued to look at Lei Yue for a long time before finally speaking, "Maybe, he is very unique, but he may not be able to act well."
"I can learn and rehearse!" Lei Yue quickly recommended himself, fearing that he would miss this opportunity, "Although I am a walk-on, I have been performing since elementary school and I also like movies. I understand movies better than the average person."
He wanted to express some opinions and show his abilities, but he didn't know what kind of underground movie this was.
"Um." Lei Yue had no choice but to ask first, "Lingsha hasn't told me yet, what is the specific type of this movie and what is it about?"
He saw only the man in the flowered shirt and the blond woman smiling even brighter than before.
"Our movie is based on the theme of "Battle Royale."" The mohawk man replied with a rich voice, "Have you seen "Battle Royale"? When the game starts, only one person can survive."
The man paused, and the red glare shone on the patches of rock beads on the coat he was wearing, seeming to be painted with a bloody color.
"About positive selection, negative selection and draw, who can win."
