So he came.
.
Their first scene is their meeting.
As dusk was drawing to a close, an orange glow shone into every corner. A colorful display of trinkets lined the entrance of a grocery store. An old man sat on a stool, slowly fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan. A black cat stretched lazily in the last rays of sunlight.
He had just emerged from the alley as a victor, his eyes blank but the corners of his lips slightly raised with a numb sense of pride.
There were bruises and swellings on his arms, and the wound on his chin was bleeding. He didn't feel any pain, he just felt that it was his medal.
She came home from school carrying a heavy schoolbag and went to the bakery to buy a basket of croissants for her dear mother to take home.
The croissants are delicious, the crust is baked golden, the inside is soft and creamy, and the cranberry flavor is sour and sweet.
She was holding the basket and could hardly walk. She was about to take one to eat when she was bumped into by someone.
When he was about to lose his balance, someone grabbed the strap of his schoolbag and pulled him back.
It was a close call; I didn't drop the bread on the ground.
She looked up in a daze and saw a boy with a fierce face, wearing a very old vest and with many wounds on his body.
He said nothing, his gaze as calm as well water falling on her.
She felt that he had bumped into her first, and she didn't want to say thank you, so she pursed her lips and walked forward. She was a little scared, thinking that the man was dangerous, and her pace became faster and faster.
She felt relieved until she saw her mother coming downstairs to pick her up.
"Is the bread freshly baked?" a middle-aged woman's gentle voice asked.
"Oh, you only care about bread and don't care about me at all." The girl said angrily.
The two voices were very far away from him.
He turned around to look, his vision blurred by the orange glow. It was something he had never experienced before.
But, it doesn't matter.
He also has a grandma.
.
"This one's over."
After two seconds, Zhang Lili spoke.
She was a little stunned by the subtle chemical reaction between the two of them appearing in the same frame. The girl in the warm light and the boy with scars, the youthful and innocent feeling, seemed to break through the limitations of acting.
very nice.
She was worried that they would need a lot of instruction, but they turned out surprisingly well. When the camera was focused on them, everything in the frame seemed not to be filmed, but recorded.
"Yu Huan, not bad," Zhang Lili said. "How come you've improved so much all of a sudden?"
Yu Huan was surprised and asked, "Really?"
She ran over happily: "Really? Let me see." She seemed unaware of her previous performance and had no way to answer Zhang Lili's doubts.
Zhang Lili waved at her, not expecting to get anything out of her.
She looked at Su Yu again, "You also impressed me a lot."
I originally thought he was a rich kid with no skills, but I didn't expect he actually had some skills. It looked like he had put a lot of effort into studying. However, he still needed to accumulate experience in terms of positioning and other skills.
But there is no need to rush, as long as he is a talented person with potential.
.
In the afternoon, we filmed the scene where the two met for the second time.
On a gloomy day, she went out with a loaf of bread and found a cardboard box on the street. Inside the box was an unwanted kitten, with gray fur and a pair of small, round eyes that looked around anxiously.
It was still very small and couldn't even climb out of the box.
It was about to rain, and Lin Huan squatted in front of the cardboard box, feeling very anxious. However, his mother was allergic to cat hair, and his father repeatedly and sternly stated that there should be no cats in the house.
He came out of another alley with two more wounds on his arms.
"Do you want to get a cat?" she asked courageously.
His dark eyes flashed, as if he had never thought about this question before. He hesitated slightly and looked down at the weak and pitiful life in the box.
"You can take it and raise it." She said anxiously, "If you raise it, I can give you five dollars a day, or, or you can ask for something else."
She felt that he was very similar to the gangster who collected protection fees at the school gate, so he must also be short of money.
She put down the bread, picked up the box containing the kitten, and pretended to hand it to him.
He took it as if possessed.
But instead of taking the money she handed over, he took a croissant from her basket.
"I want this."
"Okay." The girl nodded blankly.
The mother asked with a smile: "Why is there one croissant missing from the basket? Which little greedy kid stole it?"
She had no choice but to say: "It's me, and I want to eat another one."
.
He carried the cardboard box and climbed over the wall into the Lu family's house.
The Lu family compound was so large that it even had rockery and a pond. However, all that was left for the old and the young was a remote corner, which was occupied by weeds and leaning trees. It was dark and eerie even during the day.
"A cat?" Grandma came out with a cane.
It is actually very rare to see fresh life in this place. The old man was kind-hearted and immediately went to get some food.
The kittens were born not long ago. Perhaps they had not experienced anything and were not too shy. They ate without thinking, filling their stomachs. They also licked their paws to wash their faces.
The shadows beneath the cat's feet carry a vitality that is lacking here.
Lu Heng looked at it, stretched out his finger and poked its nose, which was met with a very impolite "meow" in return, as if the cat that had been shivering in the box before was another cat, and now this place had become its territory.
It's true, he has two different expressions in front of people and behind their backs.
.
We'll see you in the next few days.
He'd been in a fight recently and kept meeting up in the alleys over there. She was worried about the cat, so even though he hadn't asked for money, she still saved her pocket money.
He is not good at rejection, so his way of dealing with it is to just walk away without responding.
She got anxious and said, "If you don't want it, you can buy some canned food for the kitten."
"Cans?" He repeated the word in a strange tone, as if he didn't know what it was.
"Then, what did you feed the cat?" Yu Huan was also at a loss.
"Something people eat."
The two were silent for a long time. Yu Huan touched his head and said, "I'll go back and check." Find out how to arrange the cat's diet.
He nodded expressionlessly.
The two novice cat owners went back home with full of questions.
