Avenue Of Rebirth - 9
[Nature had nothing to occupy people’s energy more than chasing dreams.】
The crowd of people looking at Zhang Luibai found that he had suddenly turned around and wondered with consternation whether there were also people who Zhang Luibai wanted to greet specially. Was a big Hollywood director there?
As the crowd’s eyes shifted, they saw three people standing in the corner, a middle-aged man and two young boys.
The middle-aged man looked about 30 years old, with messy hair and a little beard on his chin, but it failed to cover up his features, that was actually a man with handsome facial features, a man who looked delicate but made himself look very rough. The two young men standing behind the middle-aged man were somewhat surprising. Both of them had quite delicate facial features and fair skin. In a conventional analogy, they looked like little teenagers coming out of a cartoon.
Everyone was an insider, immediately someone recognized the middle-aged man:
“-he is Bjork! Zhang Luibai’s former agent!”
The crowd immediately had a little commotion. Everyone heard the rumors before. When Zhang Luibai won the title of Best Actor in the Asian Film Awards, Bjork, who was the most successful agent, quit his job as Zhang Luibai’s exclusive agent . He even dismissed the position of director of Mars mythology’s Artist Management Department. He flew to the United States alone and disappeared for half a year.
And now he had actually returned to China, appeared on CBS TV, with two young boys behind him?
However, what was far more attractive than the identity of the two boys was that Zhang Luibai was walking towards his former agent. What did Zhang Luibai want to say to the man who voluntarily left him? Would it reveal the reason why the two parted ways?
Everyone opened their eyes to gossip, and even some people couldn’t help taking out their mobile phones to take photos. Immediately, CBS staff came up politely and without any doubt: “I’m very sorry, no cameras are allowed in the TV station. please cooperate. “
Bjork looked at the tall man with a straight face and walked up to him. He slowly took off his dark glasses, revealing amber eyes and smiled at him.
“Bjork, long time no see.”
It had been nearly a year since they saw each other. It was also a reunion after such a long separation.
Su An’s arm was almost scratched by Han Jiabi. He didn’t have to think about it. Han Jiabi was excited that Zhang Luibai was so perfect.
Yes, he was really perfect.
In fact, with so many people in this world, there were naturally many people who had good skin and perfect facial features. Only people who were too good-looking were often tired by their appearance, because their essence in their bones couldn’t support their beautiful appearance. It was like a person with his neck down and his back bent, putting on colorful clothes, but you didn’t think the person was good-looking.
Zhang Luibai was different. His every move and smile had an unutterable charm. It was a kind of calm momentum after training. His eyes were tinged with a noble and unruly air that was neither strong nor weak. He was like a celebrity superstar who liked nature itself. He taught people what beauty was, not skin but bone. There was a famous sentence on the Internet that compared him. It was said that a writer commented on Zhang Luibai after watching his movie: “He’s like the San Diego Cathedral, noble, luxurious, mysterious, but eccentric. “
Whether before his death or after his rebirth, this was the closest Su An had been to Zhang Luibai, even if the other party did not look at him.
What made Su An really happy was that he could finally and generously admit that Zhang Luibai deserved everything he had today, his enviable reputation, status and temperament. He had succeeded so well that he was worthy of admiration and learning, but he no longer needed any other negative emotions.
Bjork was silent for a moment. When Su An finally settled down he felt that the man in front of him was not at all like the bohemian Bjork, Bjork looked up and smiled, “Yes, it’s been a long time. I’ve heard that you have made great achievements at the Berlin International Film Festival. Congratulations. “
It was truly unexpected that the foul-mouthed Bjork was polite and flattering towards Zhang Liubai.
Zhang Luibai laughed, and his amber pupils brimmed with clear and shallow light: “Thank you for your cultivation.”
Su An clearly saw that Bjork’s back was obviously stiff when Zhang Luibai thanked him. He was so stunned that he couldn’t help looking up at Zhang Luibai, who seemed especially modest and kind in front of Bjork.
Zhang Luibai didn’t seem to notice that something was wrong with Bjork. Still smiling faintly, he noticed that one of the teenagers behind Bjork looked straight at him.
So King Zhang laughed again. His words were still directed at Bjork, but his eyes were on the two teenagers behind him.
“Bjork, is this the new people you recently signed? Why don’t you introduce them to your old friend?”
Su An was afraid that more people would see something wrong with Bjork if he went on like this. He took the initiative to take the conversation and said, “Hello, senior. I am Su An, a new artist signed by Mars mythology in April . I have always admired senior and I’m very happy to see you today. “
The words were concise and clear, but his voice was loud enough for Zhang Luibai to hear. The crowd saw him say that and he made a deep bow after he had finished. The courtesy was enough and there was nothing to criticize.
Han Jiabi also immediately and intelligently added: “Hello, Senior. I am Han Jiabi who signed a contract with Su An. It is a great honor to meet Senior!” The voice made all the onlookers who did not dare to come too close unable to hear clearly, and he also bowed.
As two newcomers who hadn’t made their debut yet, it was very rare to see King Zhang Luibai in such a public place. Under the delicate atmosphere of Zhang Luibai and Bjork, they introduced themselves as trainees of the company. They showed courtesy and respect while closing the distance, and didn’t have supercilious expressions.
Seeming to be influenced and reminded by his artists’ calm temperament, Bjork had returned to the usual feeling of being bold, even generously patted Zhang Luibai’s shoulder, he watched as Zhang Luibai’s agent’s eyelid jump straight behind him, like his male god was being molested.
“Isn’t that right, Heavenly King? It’s not bad for you.”
Zhang Luibai glanced at Bjork’s hand on his shoulder with a half-smile as if he didn’t mind at all. He also nodded approvingly: “The people Bjork is looking after must be quite excellent. Su An and Han Jiabi. Follow Bjork well and you will have an unlimited future. “
Having said that, he also reached out his hand.
The onlookers were shocked and almost tore off the chins of their friends around them. You know, everyone in the circle said that Zhang Luibai was approachable. That was relative to his status as the Heavenly King. However, like now, although they could not hear what they said, but they saw the Heavenly King stretching out his hand voluntarily! Actively! Out! The hand of the heavenly king! It was the hand of the heavenly king, the crowd looked at it, they wanted to throw everyone out and then rush up to hold it.
Han Jiabi obviously didn’t hear the roaring of the onlookers, so he rubbed on Su An’s sleeve without trace, and then took Zhang Luibai’s white hand with joy. His whole face was flushed with excitement, and he looked more and more lovable.
“Thank you, Senior!”
The child’s voice was very special, and he was also very skilled at grasping his voice and breath. He should achieve a lot in the future in the singing world, but he felt … he didn’t think much about things.
Su An also held Zhang Luibai’s hand with delight after Han Jiabi let go, but only touched his finger lightly and then expressed his thanks.
The young man, who was quite cautious and very observant, was not too simple.
Zhang Luibai glanced at Su An, his cat eyes filled with adoration and his lips pursed slightly because of tension, but he was looking at Bjork facial expression.
In fact, this teenager’s greatest specialty … was acting.
Zhang Luibai smiled and was about to speak when he heard the agent urging him behind him.
So he finally looked at Bjork: “We have time to get together again.”
Bjork also smiled and replied, “No problem, Heavenly King, go and do your work.”
After watching Zhang Luibai leave, Bjork didn’t care who leaned in to ask and took Su An and Han Jiabi away directly.
“Don’t admit that you are an artist in Mars mythology with anyone in any form that can be recorded. I’ll take care of the rest later.”
“Okay.”
“No problem.”
“I put you on the first broadcast, mainly this is the second season. Because the audience expects too much, the ratings will fall back, and the blind selection of five episodes makes people easily bored, so it’s OK to come out later in the first episode, and when you record your self introduction, just say you’re called Byan. The name has a high-end atmosphere, Byan can’t be guessed at first sight. Understand? “
“I understand.”
“Yes, uncle, I understand.”
“Su An, who’s your uncle?’
*******
“It’s your turn. Are you ready?”
Han Jiabi turned to look at Su An, who pulled him up and said to the staff, “Ready.”
“Yes, walk along the road outside the door, and you will be handed the microphone by the staff. Don’t be nervous if you have a camera to follow. Just sing like it’s a rehearsal after you come on stage. Don’t be nervous. Come on! “
Su An and Han Jiabi walked side by side in the dimly lit corridor, followed by a cameraman.
It has been 3 months since Su An was reborn.
Sometimes he even felt as if he had not experienced the nightmarish experiences. As before, he became a well-known trainee of Mars mythology Entertainment, training day after day, waiting for the day of his debut.
However, in his last life, he was full of ambition, and his chest was full of dreams and ambitions that were about to explode. However, he was beaten black and blue in the cruel reality and could not walk out of the avenue of stars he imagined.
In fact, after being reborn, Su An could have many choices. With his back against the underground kingdom of A city, he could easily live the rest of his life in comfort and even luxury. But he was still like a moth to a fire , like a fool who ran excitedly in the same direction after killing himself on the south wall because god had given him many lives.
He still refused to admit defeat, and he was still determined to let himself appear in everyone’s sight and convince everyone by his performance. Like a stubborn, paranoid, extreme, terrible and stupid fanatic. Su An was willing to sacrifice for his ideal.
Otherwise, there would be no relatives, no friends or even Su An, whose life and name originally belonged to him, and what would it be like to do heavy work?
He often woke up at night and was silent in front of the mirror. He couldn’t even tell anyone his perplexity and his fear that went deep into his bone marrow. Afraid that the so-called rebirth was only an illusion of death, whether he was happy or sad, he was living a life for others.
He seemed to be a freak, young and beautiful skin couldn’t give him too much sense of security. No one knew that his original name was Su An, and he was a third-rate star who wouldn’t be popular in any way. He also dared not tell anyone that he didn’t know why he had been resurrected, why he had lived in the body of a stranger, whether this was a reward or fate or just a prank, how long he could live, whether he could live under Su An’s name, whether he wanted to do anything, whether he had to pay any price for rebirth.
Just as people always sympathized with people with low intelligence quotient and envied those geniuses who were born to run faster than others, they did not realize that those so-called geniuses ran too fast and were far away from the general public, so they always fell into a deep loneliness of incomprehension and inability to communicate, and did not know whether they were great prophets or crazy people who went astray.
Human beings were social animals. Having secrets that violated scientific principles beyond human imagination was just like having advanced wisdom. Being forced to separate from the crowd for a certain distance was being doomed to fall into great loneliness.
Su An didn’t want to be the kind of hypocritical person who thought about fear and loneliness every day even though he had the good life of rebirth. He didn’t want to be helpless because of unsolvable thinking, so he could only find something to do.
Naturally, there was nothing that took up more energy than chasing dreams.
“Now let’s give an applause to the next contestant-“
Su An took the microphone from the off-court staff, and before entering the stage, he turned his head and smiled at Han Jiabi nearby. Han Jiabi also smiled at him. Then the two young people went to the first stage in their lives, even if it was only for a short period of less than ten minutes.
Standing amid the rushing applause, Su An nodded his head toward the direction of the band.
The music began to play.
The whole hall quieted down, with four seats facing away from them between the crowded auditorium and the vast stage.
Su An took a deep breath and slowly breathed out.
He began to sing:
“I look forward to coming back one day …”
