It was half a month later when Liao Yuan was discharged from the hospital. After receiving rehabilitation care from a physiotherapist, it took a full month before the injury was healed and he could now get out of bed.
After some understanding, Liao Yuan realized that he had been knocked unconscious and kidnapped for six full days.
For the past six days, he stayed in the dilapidated and abandoned warehouse with almost no food or drink, and only drank glucose water that had expired for an unknown period of time to stay alive.
If the suspect hadn't used a public phone to call Liao Yuan's agent, the police had locked down the area of his activities, and used their eyes to track down the suspect's whereabouts, maybe Liao Yuan would have been charged by the suspect on the seventh day.
The suspect is a young man in his early twenties. Because his parents are pampered and naughty all the time, he basically has no ability to survive in society. After being arrested this time, he told everything in detail without much questioning by the police.
He also admitted the crime he had committed and expressed his repentance to Liao Yuan to the police in the interrogation room.
After Liao Yuan learned the news, he didn't know what to say. He just ordered the agent to take charge of the matter and return the 70,000 yuan ticket price to the parents of the young suspect.
Later, Liao Yuan expressed his position to the company, and used his influence in the industry to cooperate with the police and jointly suppress the scalpers. The ticket office also knew that this matter was too big, so they actively cooperated and hired a high-priced agent.
Security company employees have implemented strict controls in major cities across the country, and any scalpers found will be arrested and handed over to the police.
Soon, the scalpers, which were all the rage in the industry, were completely eradicated and disappeared.
This incident was also spread word of mouth by many newcomers and old people in the entertainment industry, and was known as the "Cow Hoeing Operation" in history. The police even awarded Liao Yuan the National Top Ten Youth Award in recognition of Liao Yuan's contribution in combating ticketing crimes.
.
Many people were shocked by Liao Yuan's influence, but when they thought of the high-profile kidnapping case not long ago, which aroused nationwide discussion in the society, they also expressed their understanding of Liao Yuan's move.
Life is starting to return to normal.
After being postponed for a month, the concert was held as scheduled.
Naturally, a concert with more than 100,000 people can only be held at the Bird's Nest.
While practicing the music, Liao Yuan tried hard to recall the past, but he found that the memory of this life had become very blurry. He only remembered many scattered memory fragments, and even in addition to his manager, the personal assistant he had been with before,
It was hard for him to even name his friends in the circle.
This was hard for Liao Yuan to accept.
On the contrary, he remembered Lin Weiyin, Fu Xiaoci, Liao Meiqi, and even Xiao Peng, Fu Yuntao, Zhang Henge, Dong Qiusheng and others very clearly, and even often met and talked with them in his sleep.
But the dream is very short-lived. When you wake up, everything is still in its current state.
After lying on the hospital bed for half a month, and doing rehabilitation and health care activities for more than half a month after being discharged, Liao Yuan had completely believed that this world was reality, but the words of Fu Xiaoci and others popped up in his mind from time to time.
It always haunts him.
Which one is real?
Or, are they all real?
No one told him the answer, and he could only find the real answer by himself.
In addition to rehearsing for the concert, after his comeback, Liao Yuan's schedule can be said to be very full. He also held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the opening ceremony of a company in the morning, flew to another city to shoot a commercial at noon, and may have to run away in the afternoon.
He auditioned in front of a certain film director, and as one of the company's most important shareholders, he also had to attend company meetings, so his time was very full, leaving him almost no free time.
But whenever it was quiet at night, Liao Yuan looked at the starry sky outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the mansion and always felt extremely lonely.
Friends in the circle came to visit him one after another. Liao Yuan pretended to be familiar with them, but he had to struggle to remember who they were. This process made Liao Yuan very painful and shortened the time he spent meeting his friends.
Everyone thought that Liao Yuan needed to rest, and because Liao Yuan's status was unusual, they were even more cautious.
Liao Yuan lived a fulfilling life, but for some reason, he always felt boring, as if something was missing.
Only late at night, when you are sleeping, may you be happy.
This made him fall in love with the night and sleeping, because when sleeping, he can dream, and he can dream about the people and things he wants to see.
Another half month later, Liao Yuan's tenth anniversary concert was officially held at the Bird's Nest.
Although time has been pushed forward for a long time, fans are all aware of what happened to Liao Yuan recently, and they all express their understanding. Moreover, because of the disappearance of scalpers, fans can act normally on some subsequent ticket issuance days.
Ticket prices buy good seats in the concert.
Some people are grateful for Liao Yuan's efforts, and of course some people are disgusted with Liao Yuan. However, this man who stands at the top of the entertainment industry can no longer be shaken. Everyone must be cautious and respectful when facing him.
At the point where Liao Yuan is like this, his influence has gone beyond the scope of ordinary idols. Both businessmen and politicians will look at Liao Yuan in a different light.
"It's about to begin. Everyone should appear in order. Make sure you don't make any mistakes. Being able to perform at the Bird's Nest is something you can brag about for the rest of your life. Come on everyone!"
"come on!"
Backstage at the Bird's Nest, a group of staff members cheered each other on.
But Liao Yuan stayed alone in the lounge, picked up a top, and kept spinning it.
But unfortunately, the top will always fall down after a certain period of time.
This is not possible!
Liao Yuan knew that when filming "Inception" in that world, the top did not fall down at all. It kept spinning and kept spinning without any intention of stopping.
For Cobb, the protagonist of "Inception", the top is an important tool to identify whether he is in a dream. As long as the top keeps spinning, it means that he is in a dream.
If you want to tear apart the dream and break away from it, you only need to have a "feeling of falling" and a "feeling of weightlessness".
But Liao Yuan tried all the methods, but it still didn't work.
What does this mean?
Show that you are in reality!
And that world is an absolute dream!
This made Liao Yuan very painful. Could it be that everything in those four years was all fake and illusory?
He doesn't believe it.
There is no such real dream.
"Liao Yuan, it's time to play, are you ready?"
Agent Xu Zheng opened the door and said to Liao Yuan with a smile.
Liao Yuan turned around and nodded with a normal expression: "Of course I'm ready."
"Old man, you are a veteran. I know your psychological quality."
Xu Zheng encouraged: "Let this concert wash away the haze that has been hanging around you recently!"
Following the rehearsal process, Liao Yuan, dressed in a performance costume, came to the lifting platform below the stage and officially took the stage with a group of dancers.
Even in the background, Liao Yuan could hear the countdown shouts of everyone outside. The sound was loud and lively.
When the countdown reached zero, Liao Yuan and others were standing on the lift platform. Accompanied by huge screams, shouts, and cries, the lift slowly rose.
The next moment, Liao Yuan appeared in front of everyone.
The first song performed was "Jing Wu Men", Liao Yuang's sensational masterpiece when he debuted.
Ten years ago, Liao Yuan, who had just debuted less than a year ago, became the first popular song on the Internet with this song. His dance in the MV was imitated by experts on major short video apps, and it can be said that he became popular throughout Asia.
At that time, Liao Yuan was handsome, good-looking, and could sing and dance, so he became the top traffic in the country in a short period of time.
But the singing industry is not his main business. After accumulating a certain number of fans, a year later, he switched from singing to acting and began to attack major studios. He took over more than ten movies in one year and became a major star in various major movies that year.
Best newcomer at major film festivals.
Subsequently, he gained the favor of capital, and many business tycoons invested in filming films and TV series for him.
The next year, a film called "Nirvana in Fire" and Mei Changsu made him the emperor.
In the third year, his wonderful performance in the movie "Wu Shuang" helped him win the Academy Award for Best Actor.
Since then, his whole life has been like cheating, sweeping through the entertainment industry, winning awards every year, and winning Best Actor and Best Actor awards many times.
In the fifth year, his annual income has reached 60 million US dollars, ranking among the top ten male artists in the world. He is the only male artist in Asia to be on the list. The other one is the famous kung fu actor Jackie Chan.
Looking back on Liao Yuan's past ten years, it is definitely a legendary decade and a decade worth remembering.
Most of the audience who came to the concert today are die-hard fans who have grown up with Liao Yuan in the past ten years.
Therefore, when 100,000 fans witnessed Liao Yuan dance the famous work "Jing Wu Men" made ten years ago, the memories were fleeting, and in an instant, there were countless people crying in the audience.
Many fans' eyes were red and swollen from crying, and they seemed to be about to faint, but they still held on to the guardrail, insisted on waving the light sticks in their hands, and skillfully shouted and screamed to support their idols.
"This feeling..."
Liao Yuan was sweating on the stage, singing and dancing with psychedelic dance steps, enjoying this wonderful stage that he had not seen for a long time.
Compared with the life of a pianist, the life of a popular superstar is obviously more tiring.
The two can be regarded as representatives of one still and one moving. In fact, they are essentially the same.
The pianist Liao Yuan's elegance when playing the piano in the music hall, and the singer Liao Yuan's splendor and bustle blooming on the stage at this moment, although they seem different, they are actually burning and dedicating their lives.
After several songs in succession, Liao Yuan was still out of breath, and the sweat on his forehead was obvious. After changing his clothes, Liao Yuan continued to go on stage to sing for the fans without stopping at all.
On the stage with 100,000 people, the atmosphere was so warm. The audience cheered and sang in unison, which moved countless people.
Finally, more than two hours have passed and the stage is about to end.
Liao Yuan, who was slightly tired, said to the microphone with a hoarse voice: "I can't do it anymore. If I keep singing, my voice will be completely destroyed. Next, I will add a program privately. There is no rehearsal for this program in advance.
It’s not considered lazy.”
After finishing speaking, Liao Yuan clapped his hands. Under the enthusiastic attention of 100,000 people in the audience, a dark and shiny piano appeared on the lifting platform.
"Yes, I want to play the piano. Now I really want to play the piano. I hope you like it."
The whole audience burst into huge cheers.
Liao Yuan sat down in front of the piano, faced the microphone installed above, and continued: "The first song is for you. This song is called "Monsters"."
"I see the beast in you, I see your pain
Tell me your troubles and I'll chase them away
I will be your lighthouse
i will protect you
When I see the beast inside you
I will stand up bravely
Drive them all away..."
The song was entirely in English, and the lyrics were simple and easy to understand. All the audience present understood it, and many fans were in tears for a while.
A good singer-songwriter can bring people a source of strength in their songs.
Obviously Liao Yuan is exactly this type, and "Monsters" is also such a song.
Looking at Liao Yuan sitting in front of the piano and playing, people feel heartbroken and a little heartbroken at the same time.
Why is it heartbreaking?
People opened their eyes wide, trying to see Liao Yuan's expression clearly, but even with a large screen projection, people could only see half of Liao Yuan's face because he was sitting sideways.
That half of the face was full of sadness and regret.
The visible eyes are full of tranquility.
Even the best actor with the best acting skills may not be able to imitate the loneliness at this moment.
When the song ended, the audience burst into huge cheers.
"Such a song, even if it is released in Europe and the United States, will definitely be able to dominate the world's hottest songs list!"
Some fans shouted excitedly, feeling so passionate that they wanted to cry.
"The second song, "Fantasy Day", is given to my past."
After Liao Yuan whispered something, he began to actively participate.
This piece of music was played during the piano duet with Sean on the set of "The Pianist on the Sea", and it became a sensation in that world.
But because of this piece of music, Liao Yuan's symptoms of the sequelae of recalling his previous life intensified, which directly led to his many subsequent trips in and out of reality and dreams.
If this piece of music had not been played at that time, would the dream have continued?
Liao Yuan played slowly, and the audience listened silently.
The reason why he played this piece of music was firstly to commemorate the past of that life, and secondly because he wanted to see what miracle would happen.
But after he played all the pieces, he was still sitting there intact.
Feeling empty in my heart.
After a burst of violent applause, the scene began to fall into silence.
"The third song, Where -are- you?"
Liao Yuan said this short sentence loudly, as if he was questioning, and the scene seemed even quieter.
"Where- are- you?"
Liao Yuan seemed to be roaring, asking repeatedly, his expression slightly painful.
Weiyin, Xiaoci, Meiqi...
Where are you?
The 100,000 fans at the scene watched helplessly as Liao Yuan roared like a wounded beast, and they couldn't help but feel distressed.
"Stop playing and take a rest!"
"Yes, Liao Yuan, stop playing!"
"Brother, we won't watch or listen anymore. Don't be too tired!"
The scene fell into noise and panic, and almost all the audience shouted with all their strength, trying to comfort Liao Yuan, who seemed to be injured at the moment.
Liao Yuan came to his senses, did not speak, and just started playing silently.
This piece of music is called "Where -are- you".
If the heart has no place to rest, it will wander wherever it goes.
There will be no rest for the rest of my life.
Everyone at the scene fell silent, and at this moment people only felt a hint of loneliness in the music.
Where are you?
Who are you looking for?
Speak up and maybe we can help you.
The audience screamed desperately from the bottom of their hearts, watching Liao Yuan playing silently, feeling heart-wrenching pain.
"Have you noticed that Liao Yuan's piano skills are so terrifying?"
"It can actually affect our emotions!"
"God, Chopin is nothing more than this when he is alive, right?"
"When did he become so proficient at the piano?"
Many audience members who were proficient in musical tones, as well as many well-known singers and performers lurking in the corners, saw with their own eyes Liao Yuan's piano skills at this moment, and everyone's face was filled with shock.
They just came to listen to the music, but they didn't expect that Liao Yuan actually showed off his heaven-defying piano skills during the concert.
This kind of piano skills is definitely second to none and unrivaled in the whole of Asia and even the world.
However, in the past, no one would have noticed Liao Yuan's piano skills.
What has he experienced?
However, no one could explain the doubts in their hearts at this moment.
on stage.
Liao Yuan finished the song and silently looked at his hands and those beautiful keys.
This feeling is so familiar.
Was that really a dream?
Liao Yuan thought, his eyes gradually brightening.
He thought again of the course of this life, and of his successive resurrections from the dead.
Perhaps, for you, death is not the end?
He turned his head and looked at the noisy 100,000 spectators.
The densely packed sea of countless people as far as the eye can see is so lively and lovely.
Suddenly there was an impulse in his heart.
The concert is over, and my mission may be over...
The next moment, Liao Yuan stood up and silently walked to the edge of the stage.
The stage is very high, at least four or five meters.
Liao Yuan took a deep breath, looked at the excited and shouting audience, and suddenly smiled.
Then, he waved to the audience, then turned around, stood on the edge of the stage, with his back to everyone, and slowly fell down...
In an instant, screams, shouts, and cries came one after another...
No one could have expected that at the end of the concert, Liao Yuan would jump off the stage...
A generation of movie kings has completely disappeared.
That night, the whole world went crazy and people shed tears.
Everyone is mourning this great artist, and everyone is condemning Liao Yuan's management company, accusing them of not taking good care of the artist and not noticing that Liao Yuan was prone to depression.
People assert that the last kidnapping incident may have been the biggest factor that helped Liao Yuan end his life completely.
…
In the darkness, consciousness keeps wandering.
Liao Yuan's thoughts were in a hazy state. He could not think actively and could only drift into the darkness with some kind of wind force.
suddenly.
bite!
A crisp sound came.
Then, he seemed to hear the sound of something rotating...
Liao Yuan regained consciousness completely.
He opened his eyes suddenly, and the sudden bright light made him squint his eyes involuntarily.
Later, when he got used to the light, he could see the things around him clearly.
On the filming set of "Inception", everything was going on in an orderly manner.
At this moment, financial tycoon Saito, played by Hong Kong actor Tan Jie, was looking at Liao Yuan in surprise.
Not far away, assistant director Fu Yuntao poked his head out and looked at the motionless Liao Yuan with confusion.
On the dining table, the top was still spinning.
Liao Yuan froze, his eyes fixed on the top.
Soon, the remaining power of the top gradually disappeared and it fell to the table.
Liao Yuan's eyes looked strange. He stood up suddenly and ran outside the set regardless of the surprise and surprise of the people around him. He looked at Lin Weiyin who was standing in front of the director's chair and watching the camera. He paused for a moment before walking forward.
, hugged Lin Weiyin tightly.
Lin Weiyin sensed something sensitively and asked softly in front of everyone: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Liao Yuan did not answer, but with slightly moist eyes, he helped Lin Weiyin take care of his hair on the temples, and then quickly ran outside the set.
"elder brother!"
Liao Meiqi also ran out. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but scream.
Liao Yuan turned around and looked at Liao Meiqi, "Wait for me to come back."
The next moment, he drove the car, stepped on the accelerator crazily, and reached the hospital in his memory as quickly as possible.
When he opened the door of the ward in his memory, he saw Fu Xiaoci lying on the hospital bed with her butt raised, humming and doing rehabilitation training.
She is so fresh and lovely...
He stared blankly and suddenly laughed...
…
All conditioned dharmas are like bubbles in a dream.
It is like dew or electricity, so it should be viewed as such.
