Chu Meibo lived a carefree life, and she had no regrets even after her death.
But she didn't expect to find out after her death that there was neither the underworld as the Chinese believed, nor the heaven as the Westerners believed. Her soul stayed in the world, but no one could see her. Her soul was bound to the Kinmen Theater.
She watched the country she loved emerge from the war with wounds all over, watched the Kinmen Theater reopen, watched those young girls stand on the stage, and she was like an outsider. This turbulent world had nothing to do with her anymore.
This was a fear deeper than death.
After seeing Ye Cang, hope was like a ray of light cast into Chu Meibo's soul, making her feel as if she were alive again.
Moreover, she didn't expect him to come to the Kinmen Theater.
Chu Meibo clenched her fist and took another half step forward. She raised her face slightly, her voice was filled with eagerness and a barely perceptible tremor: "You have died before, too. You can understand that feeling, right? I just want to return to the world, I want to leave this place, like you, and become a human again..."
She only said a few words, but Shen Huai's heart was inexplicably sour.
Chu Meibo died earlier than Ye Cang, and she had experienced this kind of life that ordinary people could not bear for many more years. It was no wonder that she regarded Ye Cang as a life-saving straw and wanted to hold on to it tightly.
Ye Cang shook his head: "I want to help you too, but I don't know how I survived."
The light in Chu Meibo's eyes suddenly went out. She stood there, her body trembling slightly, as if all her will had disappeared. She no longer begged, nor did she threaten the two.
Even after so many years, those things in her bones have not been lost. Even if she longed for it, she would not hurt innocent people.
She just slowly took a step back, returning from the light to the darkness. Those brilliances were like hope, gradually fading from her body.
"Sorry, I disturbed you."
Seeing that Chu Meibo was about to disappear in the darkness, Shen Huai suddenly called her: "Wait."
Chu Meibo looked up at him.
Shen Huai said slowly: "I don't know how to revive, but I think, maybe I can take you away from this place."
Chu Meibo's eyes suddenly lit up.
——When
Shen Huai and Ye Cang hurried back to the filming location, Xue Chengge was almost crying.
"Brother Shen, where have you been! The director is about to get mad..."
Shen Huai quickly found the director to apologize.
The director was also a little angry at the moment. He had just found the heroine, and when he turned around, he found that the hero was gone again.
Over there, the actress named Xiaoyu was still excitedly saying: "Director! I really encountered a ghost wall. You can ask the makeup artist. It took us a long time to get out..."
Shen Huai and Ye Cang looked at each other, and then turned to Chu Meibo, the instigator.
Chu Meibo: "It's just a moment of urgency. I'm sorry."
The director comforted Xiaoyu again and again, and urged the staff on the scene: "Don't watch the show, all departments get ready."
The scene immediately moved.
Although Xiaoyu was a little emotional at first, she still had the professional qualities of an actor. When she got in front of the camera, she quickly returned to normal.
Although the plot of this advertisement is ridiculous, the director's shooting skills are not bad.
In the long corridor, there are Western-style wallpapers, stained glass windows, and dim lights. A woman in a colorful cheongsam walks slowly, just like an old movie in the Republic of China.
Ye Cang has never shot an advertisement, but Lu Yang has shot one before. Originally, the director thought that he would be stuck for a long time, but he was pleasantly surprised.
The progress of the advertisement was very fast, and it was almost finished in the afternoon.
The director was very excited and wanted to add a few more shots, but suddenly heard a few screams from the side. Everyone turned around and saw several men and women looking at this side excitedly, and one of them shouted Ye Cang's name.
The director frowned and scolded the script supervisor: "What's going on! Didn't the scene clear?"
The script supervisor hurried over and persuaded the man to leave.
When the script supervisor came back, everyone realized that it was because Ye Cang was photographed on the plane and posted on the Internet. Someone revealed that he was shooting a commercial at the Kinmen Theater, which attracted these fans.
Fortunately, this was just a small episode. Everyone returned to work and successfully added the remaining shots.
When the filming was over, the director patted Ye Cang on the shoulder with satisfaction: "Xiao Ye is very talented. If there is a suitable opportunity next time, I will ask you to film again!"
Ye Cang's mouth twitched, and he declined the director's appreciation.
When they left the theater, Ye Cang and Shen Huai stood at the door, waiting for Xue Chengge to drive over.
Chu Meibo stood at the door of the theater with an expression of novelty and joy on her face. Although she was a little disappointed that she could not be resurrected, she was very happy to be able to walk out of this place that had always bound her.
Her eyes swept across the high-rise buildings in front of her, and the rolling traffic, and the whole person was a little dazed. So, is this what the new era looks like?
Shen Huai introduced these things to her. Chu Meibo blinked and suddenly asked, "There are a few people over there looking at you. Are they fans?"
Shen Huai and Ye Cang turned around and saw the fans who had interrupted the filming running out excitedly.
"Ye Cang, are you shooting an ad?"
"We are your fans. We didn't expect to meet you here. What a fate!"
"We like you so much! Can you give us an autograph?"
"I want to take a photo!"
Before Ye Cang could react, he was surrounded by them in an instant. Not only that, one of them was recording a video with his mobile phone.
Shen Huai frowned and separated them: "Sorry, it's private time now..."
But a few people were not willing to give in, surrounded them and refused to let them leave, and even tried to pull Shen Huai's clothes.
Ye Cang frowned slightly, walked forward, and calmly held Shen Huai behind him: "Signing and taking pictures, right? Then you will leave after the shooting?"
Seeing that he agreed, a few people suddenly became excited and didn't care what he said later.
Ye Cang signed autographs for them and was photographed with his arm held. He felt a little uncomfortable, but he still took the photos diligently. After the photos were taken, he immediately broke away: "Okay, we're done. You can go back early."
Several people looked at the photos taken excitedly. Seeing that Ye Cang was about to leave, they were suddenly a little unhappy. One of the girls shouted: "Brother, you must do more business in the future!"
Ye Cang is now a senior netizen and naturally knows what business means. He used to think that as a singer, he only needed to bring out his works to communicate with the audience, but nowadays, the responsibilities of a star seem to be more than that.
They got into the car with difficulty and blocked the screams outside the car window.
Ye Cang showed a tired look. Seeing this, Shen Huai exchanged seats with Xue Chengge.
He drove very steadily, and Ye Cang could rest more in the car.
But not long after, Xue Chengge suddenly shouted: "Brother Shen, there is a car following us!"
Shen Huai had actually noticed it a long time ago. In the rearview mirror, a van had been chasing them closely. Now it was approaching. The little girl who had held Ye Cang before leaned out of the car window and shouted Ye Cang's name loudly. She was so hoarse that many passers-by looked at her sideways.
Xue Chengge's eyes widened: "This... is this a stalker?"
Chu Meibo also frowned. She usually went to the theater and listened to the staff and actors gossiping about gossip, and she also knew the reputation of stalkers.
Private fans are the most extreme fans among the fans of stars. They spy on and follow the stars to satisfy their own desires. Basically, all popular stars have been harassed by private fans, which makes the stars suffer. And this kind of car chasing behavior is a huge traffic hazard.
Chu Meibo disagreed: "No matter how much they like it, they can't do this. It will cause trouble to others."
Ye Cang woke up at some point, his face was pale, and his lips were tightly pursed.
Shen Huai saw his expression in the rearview mirror, and was stunned. Suddenly, he remembered the cause of Lu Yang's death. After his last concert, he was driving back to the hotel when he was hit by his fanatical fans. The car hit the safety island on the side of the road, causing his death.
After he was resurrected, although he looked normal, this painful memory was buried deep in his memory, like a nightmare.
Shen Huai's heart suddenly felt like it was pierced by a needle, and his expression suddenly became cold.
His fingers gripped the steering wheel: "Sit tight."
The car suddenly accelerated. Xue Chengge widened his eyes and held the handle tightly, watching the car shuttle through the traffic. The speed almost made his heart jump out.
Ye Cang was also shocked at first, but he quickly accepted this speed. He cast his eyes on Shen Huai in the driver's seat. From his angle, he could only see his profile and his tight chin, but he could feel his suppressed anger.
Ye Cang suddenly forgot about the fans chasing the car from behind, and also forgot about the fearful memories.
However, Shen Huai suddenly frowned, cursed under his breath, and suddenly turned the car into a big corner.
Ye Cang came back to his senses.
Although Shen Huai was a good driver, the driver of the other party was a local. Every time they got rid of him, the car would appear from another corner. The other party was a crazy fan, and every time they would chase him like crazy. Shen Huai was not familiar with the road conditions and almost collided with him several times.
Shen Huai directly asked Xue Chengge to call the police, then turned on the navigation and drove towards the traffic police brigade.
The other party saw his intention and became anxious. He wanted to use the car body to force them to stop. Unexpectedly, the operation was improper. If Shen Huai had not stepped on the brakes in time, the two cars would have collided directly. But even so, the two cars still collided.
Xue Chengge got out of the car angrily: "Are you crazy? This will kill people, you know!"
The other driver was also a little frightened after the collision, and shouted: "What's the matter! Isn't it okay?"
Xue Chengge was so angry that he trembled all over and started arguing with him directly.
In the car, Ye Cang trembled slightly. The moment the two cars collided just now, the painful memories that he had suppressed tightly invaded his entire brain. He will never forget that memory.
After the concert ended that day, his assistant drove him back to the hotel. Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the venue, two cars followed him. The other side shouted his name loudly and expressed their love to him excitedly.
However, the two cars tightly surrounded him in the middle. At that time, the traffic police responsible for maintaining road traffic caught up with him and kept persuading them that such behavior was very dangerous, but those people didn't care at all.
The danger happened in an instant.
A car suddenly lost control and crashed into their car.
Lu Yang could only feel the violent collision, and then the severe pain came. His whole body seemed to be broken, and everything he saw was blood red.
The last picture in his memory was the fan's excited and distorted face and his broken scream.
"Lu Yang, I love you!!"
Lu Yang has always been very nice to his fans, but at that moment, he could not help but feel resentful.
Love me, so you killed me? ! !
Shen Huai looked at Ye Cang, whose face was pale and painful, with concern for his safety, and could only suppress his anger and gently persuaded him: "Let's get off the car first. I have called the police and will let them handle it later."
Ye Cang came to his senses and whispered.
At this moment, the car window was knocked hard by several hands, and Ye Cang's body trembled violently.
Those people seemed to be unaware of the serious consequences they had caused. They knocked on the car window and said jokingly, "Cangcang, come out and meet us..."
One of them even turned on his mobile phone to record the scene and said proudly, "I just filmed it. Wait..."
Before he finished speaking, the car door was suddenly opened and Ye Cang looked at them coldly.
"Get lost!"
