The production base of the film "Forerunners of the Revolution", which is being produced, is located in a hotel in Beijing. Script revisions, actor interviews and other preliminary related matters are all carried out here. This afternoon, the crew held another preparatory and coordination meeting for "Forerunners of the Revolution". The location was in the hotel conference room. Liang Shiqiao attended the meeting as Dai Mengyan's agent.
After the meeting, Liang Shiqiao asked the crew for a car. The driver was a driver in his 40s. The car's windshield had the words "The Crew of "Forerunners of the Revolution"" posted on the inside. Liang Shiqiao went to Xinjie to find Shen Biao. Shen Biao's 1 specialty store for custom-made flag-stamped lighters from Ye Zinong is located on this street.
Shen Biao's 1 store is easy to recognize, because the sign is called "1 Shen Biao Store", and there is a line of eye-catching copper characters below the sign: Customized personalized stamps. The store is not very big, with an area of more than ten square meters. It looks like two long glass wall cabinets are filled with lighters. There is a small table and chairs in the open space in front of the cashier. They are very exquisite and are a place for sellers to communicate with customers. There are no casting or polishing equipment in the store. , apparently there is a workshop for making personalized stickers.
Liang Shiqiao asked the driver to wait outside and entered the store. He saw a man sitting around a small table. One of them was introducing a lighter in his hand. There were also several lighters on the table.
When a customer comes in, the waitress immediately greets him: "Hello"
As soon as Liang Shiqiao Biao finished speaking, the man sitting at the small table introducing the lighter stood up, looked at Liang Shiqiao and said, "I am Shen Biao, what can I do for you?"
Liang Shiqiao took out the note he brought back from Paris and said, "I was entrusted by a friend to get a lighter."
Shen Biao took the note, looked at it, and asked: "Who are you? Which friend is entrusted by you?"
Liang Shiqiao replied: "My surname is Liang, I am Dai Mengyan's agent, and I am entrusted by Miss Dai."
Shen Biao thought for a moment, turned around and said to the two men: "Brother, I have some personal matters here, please stay out of the way."
The two men stood up immediately, and one of them said: "Brother Biao, let's leave first and come back another day." Shen Biao took out a "Suspension of Business" sign from the cashier and said to the waitress: "You should also avoid it. , hang this up."
When there were only two of them left in the room, Shen Biao took another look at the note and said, "Dai Mengyan? Why does she?" Liang Shiqiao said, "This lighter was customized by Mr. Ye. You know the relationship between Miss Dai and Mr. Ye." of."
Shen Biao said: "What's the relationship? Are you using politics to elevate yourself and using Brother Nong's life to gild yourself? Or is it related to what Brother Nong said?
Only then did Liang Shiqiao understand why Shen Biao wanted others to avoid him. It turned out that he was still saving face for Dai Mengyan. Liang Shiqiao had never been in contact with Shen Biao and did not understand each other. He only knew that Shen Biao had visited Ye Zi Nong in Paris. Shen Biao's attitude was Liang Shiqiao's. No matter how unexpected it was, he said angrily: "You can't talk nonsense if you don't understand the situation."
Shen Biao said: "I like Sister Meng's movies very much. It can be said that I have watched every movie she made. If she didn't involve Brother Nong, I would definitely be her loyal fan. I don't deny that she made her famous in Paris. I have been embarrassed, but I understand that she is also doing it for Brother Nong's safety. I, Shen Biao, am not so petty. Ms. Dai knows who Brother Nong is. If Brother Nong stays in Beijing, he will not die. I know that. I don’t want to know anything else about this.”
Liang Shiqiao said: "You can have your opinion, but you can't refuse to give me a lighter just because you have an opinion." Shen Biao said: "Miss Dai is not qualified to represent Brother Nong."
Liang Shiqiao thought for a moment and said cautiously: "With all due respect, if it's a matter of money, it's easy to talk about."
Shen Biao immediately became angry, pointed towards the store door and said, "Please come out."
It seems it's not really about money.
Liang Shiqiao said: "If it's not about money and your attitude, then I have to say something." Shen Biao glanced at Liang Shiqiao and asked: "What are you talking about?"
Liang Shiqiao said: "Mr. Ye believes that if you need to hide in Paris because you agree with Marxism, this attitude is a denial of the legitimacy of China's social system. Whether Mr. Ye goes to Paris is a matter of their personal feelings, and we outsiders have no right to judge. Dai Mengyan doesn’t understand politics, but if she can make Mr. Ye see things as more important than life, she believes that it must be important. Dai Mengyan protects Mr. Ye with her life on the line, and lets Mr. Ye out with her life on the line. If her life is gone, we can still talk about it. What benefits? Mr. Ye is considered a righteous man when he is assassinated, but what does it matter if Dai Mengyan is gone? If he doesn’t die, he will be considered a bad woman, but if he dies, he will be considered a retribution. Do you want such benefits? If this kind of thing is done to you and me, it may not be possible, right? ?If it is something we ourselves cannot do, what qualifications do we have to blame Miss Dai? Let me tell you: If you can bring her back, I would rather listen to you scold her."
Shen Biao was stunned.
Liang Shiqiao said: "This lighter is not collected by Dai Mengyan. What else can be collected if the person is gone? This lighter must be handed over to the authorities as a relic, including the pure gold lighter that Miss Dai gave to Mr. Ye." Liang Shiqiao finished speaking. Gone.
Shen Biao came to his senses and immediately chased after him, shouting: "Mr. Liang, wait a moment." After saying that, he took out a delicate box from the container under the wall cabinet, walked out and handed it to Liang Shiqiao, saying: "Open it and check it out. "Inside the box is a lighter with a cast copper three-dimensional national flag stamp. It is very beautiful. There is also a line of small words on the lower edge of the stamp, which is also cast in one piece. It reads: 19941. You can tell that the five letters of "Ya Kuang" are " The first letter of the Chinese pinyin, date and letters of "Ye Ye Nong Customized" are the uniqueness of this personalized stamp.
Shen Biao said: "The base machine is not 1, Nong Ge specifically stated that it should be made in China."
Liang Shiqiao closed the lid and said, "Thank you."
Shen Biao asked: "What about Miss Dai..."
Liang Shiqiao said: "Try your best."
Liang Shiqiao got in the car, waved goodbye to Shen Biao politely, and left 1 Shen Biao store.
When we arrived at the "Jiuwu Gangzi Noodles" restaurant, although it was not yet dinner time, the restaurant had already begun to fill up sporadically. Liang Shiqiao walked to the service desk and asked the waitress: "Is Ms. Fang Di here?"
The waitress asked: "Excuse me, are you..."
Liang Shiqiao replied: "My surname is Liang, I am a friend of Brother Jiu. I have something that Brother Jiu asked me to pass on to Miss Fang." The waitress said: "Please wait a moment." Then she called and said: "Please come to the second floor. "Office upstairs." Liang Shiqiao went up to the second floor and saw a woman coming out of the office. She took a few steps towards him and asked him: "Is this Mr. Liang?"
Liang Shiqiao said: "Yes, I am Liang Shiqiao."
The woman stepped forward to shake hands and said, "I am Fang Di, please sit in the room."
After entering the office, Liang Shiqiao sat down on the sofa, took out the lighter from the document bag, opened the box, and put it on the coffee table in front of Fang Di together with the lid, and said: "This is the lighter Fang Di that Brother Jiu asked me to give to Miss Fang." He picked up the lighter, looked at it, and said, "Brother Ninth said you were in Paris, so you delivered it so quickly."
Liang Shiqiao said: "Brother Ninth called me and said that the matter was handled by Director Zhang and asked me to do whatever I should do. I came back. Meng Yan has a movie to start shooting, and there is a lot of coordination work."
Fang Di said: "Yeah, it's quite busy."
Liang Shiqiao said: "Thank you for causing trouble to Miss Fang."
Fang Di said, "No thanks, I should."
It was the first time for Liang Shiqiao and Fang Di to meet each other. They were strangers to each other and had nothing to say. According to human nature, it was time to leave after delivering the lighter, but Liang Shiqiao had no intention of leaving. He seemed to have something to say.
There was some hesitation again. After a moment of hesitation between what to say and hesitation, he still said: "Miss Fang, you...did you talk to Director Zhang in person?"
Fang Di replied: "No, I talked over the phone."
Liang Shiqiao nodded slightly and said: "Oh..." The "oh" unconsciously made a long sound, which had a subtle meaning, indicating that "I understand" but also mixed with a little worry.
Fang Di said: "I contacted Director Zhang on the day Brother Jiu told me, and the people in the office said he was not here. I said that Director Zhang was handling Yizinong's case, and I had important information to report to Director Zhang. The other party said
You can tell me, but I said no, I have to talk to Director Zhang directly. The other party asked me to put down the phone and wait. After a few minutes of pause, my father called. I knew this was the other party verifying my identity, and then the other party asked me to wait.
I continued to wait on the phone. After a few minutes, the call came. It was Director Zhang himself. I relayed what Brother Jiu said about the situation. He first said something about Zi Nong. He did not handle this situation well for Zi Nong.
They were dissatisfied with the matter, and then said: You tell them what they should be busy with, and I will take care of it. Director Zhang is on a trip with national leaders and is in Pakistan. I know the nature and level of Director Zhang’s work, but I cannot judge his whereabouts.
Which ones are confidential and which ones can be made public, so I only told Brother Jiu the answer from Director Zhang and didn’t say anything else. I understand your worries and you are afraid that I won’t take it to heart, so I will tell you. I hope this
Not a mistake."
Liang Shiqiao's worries were obviously unnecessary. He was a little embarrassed and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I was too worried."
Fang Di said: "It's good that Mr. Liang is relieved."
Liang Shiqiao stood up and said, "Then I'll take my leave."
Fang Di sent Liang Shiqiao out.
Liang Shiqiao said: "Stay, stay."
Fang Di stretched out his hand to shake hands with Liang Shiqiao and said goodbye, "Then walk slowly and I will see you off not far away."
During the handshake, Liang Shiqiao put the bag under his arm, deliberately held it with his other hand, and said gratefully, "Thank you, thank you, Director Zhang, thank you very much! Please rest assured, Ms. Fang, I am not a talkative person and I know what is right."
"
Fang Di said: "You're really welcome. I admire Miss Dai very much. She did everything she should." (To be continued)
