穿着黄马甲的魏阳坐在警车上,微微低着头,神情恍惚,心情难掩低落。
根据剧情,刚刚他参加了庭审,虽然法官一定程度上理解他帮助病人的事,但走私药物也是事实,被判处了5年徒刑。
押送的警察率先发现了不对,明白了原因,善意提醒开车的同事。
“开慢点。”
魏阳被放慢的车速晃了一下,不解的看向司机,而后就看到了守在路边的病人们。
警车缓缓驶动,越过一个又一个的病人,透着车窗,魏阳的眼神也闪过一个个曾经帮助过的病友。
乌泱泱的人群,让最开始的魏阳有些惊讶和疑惑,而后慢慢意识到众人目的的他,脸上抑制不住的感动和欣慰。
而当他看到病人们一个个摘下口罩,在之前有过了解的他明白,这是病人们的致敬和感谢,等其在人群中发现共事的牧师、刘思慧母女、吕受益妻子,再也抑制不住情绪的魏阳热泪盈眶。
恍惚间,他似乎看到了吕受益和黄毛,两个影响他一生也是最让他愧疚的的人。
吕受益这个脸上时时刻刻带着谦卑乐观的男人,也站在人群中,摘下了口罩,他露出了标志性的虚弱笑脸。
黄毛没有戴口罩,留着平头,嘴唇弯起,眼睛亮晶晶的。
整个过程没有人说一句话,却无言胜万声。
荡漾在眼眶里的热泪流下,魏阳转过头,深吸一口气,闭上了眼睛,然后又睁开,眼中仍然含泪,脸上却微微带着几分笑意。
在这一刻,他不清楚自己是否完成了所谓的自我救赎,但他知道,他做的事是对的。
警车停下,导演文牧野的声音通过对讲机响起,声音坚定。
“没问题,过了!”
魏阳没有理他,背靠警车,双手捂着脸,舒缓自己的情绪,剧组的人也见惯不怪。
《我不是药神》拍到后期,魏阳多次因为太代入角色,导致入戏严重,拍完戏之后,走不出来的情况发生过好几次。
最严重的是黄毛死了,他质问警察大舅子那场,足足缓了半个多小时又抽了五六根才平复出戏。
这次魏阳好一些,几分钟的功夫就揉了揉脸下车,然后去看了回放,同意了文牧野的话。
魏阳的点头,也预示着《我不是药神》彻底杀青,刚才还一片哀伤沉闷的现场,瞬间欢呼不断。
同制片人和导演聊了几句,魏阳又给刘施施打电话,晚上杀青宴,不知道要闹到几点,等不了可以早睡。
…
金陵某酒店,宴会厅
魏阳回过头,正是谭卓和章宇端着酒杯过来敬酒,他们俩在剧组关系不错,又没啥根基,有点抱团取暖的意思。
“魏总,我俩敬您一杯,特别感谢您这次能给我们一个机会。”
感激是真心的,《我不是药神》对两人助益不小,特别是章宇,魏阳这次提携堪称其人生最大贵人了。
陪谭卓干了一杯红酒,他自己又单独敬了魏阳一回,大半杯红酒一饮而尽,脸都憋红了。
“魏总,我嘴笨,也不太会说,以后您如果能用得着我的,赏脸招呼一声,随叫随到。”
旁边的制片人挺欣赏这个年轻人的,闻言递话:“你这可不嘴笨,一下子把下部戏给约好了。”
他这一开口,魏阳还真打量了章宇一眼,想了片刻:“电视剧拍吗?”
章宇没想到还有意外之喜,连忙点头:“拍!”
魏阳又问了一句:“戏份可不多,配角。”
章宇说的很直接:“您开口要我,跑龙套我都来。”
“行,回头我让人联系你。”
魏阳点了点头,他还真看中章宇身上这股野劲,回头新剧《敕勒川》,可以来个桀骜猛悍的武将配角。
比如高欢手下大将彭乐、窦泰,或者西魏那几个柱国,尔朱氏那几个人也可以试试,再不济还有北镇乱军或者高欢崛起时遇到的“反派”。
“魏总,您也不能照顾章宇,有什么好角色,也想着点我们哥几个。”
章宇拿到了角色,其他几个主创也跟着起哄,魏阳也没拒绝,在座的都是他比较看好信任的演员,有合适的角色,他自然愿意邀请。
就是不确定到时候有没有档期冲突,而且这几位是否会愿意参演一个电视剧的配角。
章宇是无名小辈,《我不是药神》还没上映,有戏肯定接。
其他人多多少少还有资本的,尤其是张泽,如今电视剧找他基本上都是主角了,再不济也都是所谓“齐番”男主,配角属实有些大材小用了。
不过,魏阳的戏还是不同的,其剧往往成绩火爆,提升曝光是一方面,最关键的是可以在魏阳面前刷脸。
很多人奔着的就是“大材小用”! 你的咖位和角色正好,谁也不占便宜,这叫公事公办,魏阳大概率不知道你。
而你得到的角色大于你的咖位,等同于被魏老板提携,你得感谢魏老板,但魏老板助人无数,也未必知道你。
只有咖位大于角色,来拍戏是吃了亏,相当于来帮忙,才有可能被魏老板记住。
人情够不上,但也算是个香火情,日后说不定哪天就用上了。
有时候想成为大佬的“自己人”,不能光靠人家拉,还得自己有心,想办法往上凑。
因为顾虑还要回家,魏阳并没有喝太多少酒,差不多敬酒结束,就找了借口先撤,等回到家时,丈母娘和刘施施都没睡,正在收拾东西。
剧组杀青,她们也要魔都了,住了几个月,琐碎东西可不少。
母女俩连带保姆整理好几天了,现在更多的是查缺补漏。
“回来了,我去给伱做点醒酒汤。”
丈母娘看魏阳进门,起身就要去厨房,魏阳拦着:“不用了妈,就喝了一点,没啥事。”
这不是客气,以魏老板的酒店,这点酒也就开开胃,真不至于喝醒酒汤。
“费不了多少功夫,喝点胃舒服。”
丈母娘摆摆手,进厨房给女婿做醒酒汤,魏阳也只好道谢受着,刘施施则过来闻了闻,发现魏阳身上酒味不重,也没有其他可疑的味道,满意的点了点头。
“我还以为你怎么着也得凌晨才回来呢。”
“后面的场可去可不去,省得你惦记。”
杀青宴可不止是吃饭,后面多数都有唱歌、泡酒、洗澡巴拉巴拉的娱乐活动,有的剧组组织,有的几个朋友约着。
魏阳在这方面比较大方,一般杀青宴后面都会由剧组安排节目,他多数也会到场玩一玩。
不过这回就算了,免得刘施施多心,果然,后者嘴上嘟囔着自己不是吃醋的人,脸上却是笑容灿烂。
“咱们什么时候回魔都?”
“明后天吧,收拾好了就可以走。”
他不着急,刘施施却是真在金陵待腻了,打定主意明天就走。
“行,我安排一下。”
次日一大早,魏阳就被刘施施拽起来了,帮忙收拾东西,下午乘坐私人飞机,很快就到了魔都机场。
刘施施临下飞机,把自己身上裹的那叫一个严实,口罩帽子墨镜三件套不说,还穿了一个臃肿宽大的羽绒服。
魏阳看着好笑:“放心吧,行程是保密的,咱们走的是VIP通道,没多少人能认出你。”
刘施施虽然有些显怀,但也没有特别明显,略微宽松一点的衣服就差不多挡住,这么有点小题大做了。
“你没看新闻吗?现在有一个虹桥一姐,天天在机场守着,万一被堵着呢?”
刘施施不置可否,她可不想莫名其妙上了热搜,更关键的是万一引发骚乱,她怀着孕不安全。
“有道理。”
原文在六#9@书/吧看!
魏阳也知道这个“虹桥一姐”,专门在魔都虹桥机场堵着明星要签名合影,引发不少关注,成了网红,乃至有不少人专门拍她堵明星。
乃至有不少小明星转过来蹭她的热度,号称没和她合影过的明星不叫红。
However, Wei Yang and the other person obviously do not want this popularity. The other party is a popular internet celebrity and is not someone from the circle, so it is difficult to negotiate with him. It is better to avoid him if possible.
"Let's split up. I'll take a look at the situation. If it doesn't work, we'll make some noise first. You can take this opportunity to wait in the car."
Wei Yang was cautious first and took Wei Fei and a bodyguard with him. As expected, he found someone guarding the place.
There is no way around it. Right now is the time when Hongqiao No. 1 Sister is at her most popular. According to news reports from major media outlets, she has become a hot figure in the entertainment industry this year. It is said that some year-end summaries have listed her as one of the top ten entertainment events.
This person who calls himself a "universal fan" welcomes all celebrities, but his preferences vary.
Wei Yang is one of the stars he most wants to get an autograph and take a photo with. When he was interviewed, he expressed his special hope to meet Boss Wei.
Boss Wei’s schedule is kept secret, but the fact that the crew of “Dying to Survive” has wrapped up filming is no secret. Someone even took a photo with him at the wrap party yesterday and posted it on Weibo.
Even though no one is sure when Wei Yang will return to Shanghai and which airport he will leave from, it won't stop this Hongqiao No. 1 lady who is almost treating the airport as her home from trying her luck.
As for the VIP channel, it can indeed block fans to a certain extent, but it is not foolproof.
Especially for those who want to block celebrities, VIP channels are the key targets. Some of them have ways to find loopholes. Now they are popular and some measures of airlines are relatively conservative, which makes it easier for them to act.
After giving a wink to the bodyguard, Wei Yang took off his mask, and deliberately walked through the ordinary passage with Wei Fei wearing only sunglasses and a hat, and then "accidentally" revealed his traces.
As expected, it immediately attracted the attention of Hongqiao's No. 1 Lady and those who were following and joining in the fun, and everyone witnessed the birth of a new hot search event with great joy.
The bodyguard who stayed there, seeing that no one was paying attention, made a phone call. After a while, Liu Shishi and a few others left the airport through the VIP channel in a low-key manner.
It was half an hour later when Wei Yang finished dealing with it. When he came out, a Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle in front of him slowly drove away.
Wei Yang got into the Lexus SUV at the back, and before he even sat down, he heard the driver teasing him.
"That's great. You've tricked the famous Hongqiao No. 1 lady."
"You guys are so free?"
Wei Yang glared at the other person unhappily. The driver was none other than Li Jiahang who came to pick him up at the airport. It was also because of him that Wei Yang simply rode separately with Liu Shishi to make the cover plan more perfect.
"If it was just you, I wouldn't bother coming. Aren't you here to see my godson?"
In addition to Tang Mei, Li Jiahang was one of the very few people who knew that Wei Yang was going to be a father. He had wanted to go to Jinling to visit him before, but Wei Yang thought it would make too much noise and refused.
This time when Wei Yang and his wife returned to Shanghai, as soon as he heard the letter, he came over to see what was new, and even called himself their godfather.
"It's not born yet, what are you looking at?"
When Wei Yang saw Li Jiahang's smiling face, he wanted to punch him in the head.
Liu Shishi is pregnant, Fan Xiaopang is forcing her to have a child, and Wei Yang doesn't know how to explain this to Zhao Liying's parents. He feels a bit stressed.
He couldn't tell these things to others, either because they didn't believe him or because his status wasn't right, so he could only find Li Jiahang to help him relieve his worries.
Finding someone to confide in did help relieve some of the pressure, but the price was that Li Jiahang found out Wei Yang's true colors, and it was a rare opportunity for him to laugh at Wei Yang.
So, even though this guy kept saying that he was here to see the child, Wei Yang felt like he was just gloating.
"You think too little of your brothers. Am I that kind of person?"
Li Jiahang cried out in grievance: "Every time you were in trouble, I always stood by you and helped you. How can you think of me like this now?"
Boss Wei sneered: "If you could stop that smirk on your face, I would believe it."
Li Jiahang instinctively frowned and glanced at the rearview mirror: "Is it that obvious?"
"Damn it, you really didn't hold your fart well."
Wei Yang was furious, then he remembered something and smiled evilly: "Okay, you are willing to stick up for your brother, right? I will tell Li Ying and my parents later that it was you who came up with this idea without telling them."
“…”
When Li Jiahang thought about the consequences of offending Zhao Liying and Wang Yunping, he shuddered and was extremely sad and angry.
"You keep blaming me for everything. Do you believe that if I step on the accelerator, we will both die together?"
Wei Yang looked like a bachelor: "If you have the guts, then go ahead and step on me. Anyway, I have a child, and someone will inherit my family business. What about your wife and your father? You decide for yourself."
“…”
Li Jiahang cursed a lot, but his actions were very honest, and he even drove slower.
When approaching an intersection, Li Jiahang noticed that a Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle was going straight ahead, and he felt a little confused.
"Aren't you going home? Did you take the wrong road?"
"Yes, we moved to a new house. The original house was a bit small."
Li Jiahang was stunned: "That house is only 200 square meters? It's still small?"
"It's not a small place for two people to live in. We have a child now, right? There is also a confinement nanny, a babysitter, and elderly people on both sides. It would be more convenient to move to a bigger place."
"Bigger, how much bigger?"
"Five hundred? Or more than six hundred? I didn't ask in detail."
Li Jiahang was silent for nearly a minute, then he gritted his teeth and squeezed out two words.
"Beast..."
