Chapter 2 Can you show off again?
A construction site in Erli Village, North Beach.
Bypassing the fence made of blue, white and red nylon cloth, Xu Kun walked up to the work shed in the southwest corner. He glanced at the only single room. When he saw that the bed and behind the table were empty, he raised his head. His leg kicked on the dog cage next to him.
Bang~
Woof, woof, woof!
The black back in the cage was startled and immediately barked at Xu Kun.
Seeing this scene, many people on the construction site looked over and pointed, and then a middle-aged man with a scar face walked over with one hand behind his back. He first drank to stop the barking Black Back, and then Staring at Xu Kun carefully, he asked: "Little brother, who are you looking for?"
"Brother Six is here, right?"
Hearing the accent from his hometown, Xu Kun squinted and smiled: "I hang out with brother Dayong. I just came from my hometown a few days ago to avoid the limelight."
"It's you."
The middle-aged man suddenly understood, threw the short pickaxe hidden behind him into the corner, laughed and said: "I thought someone was making trouble - what, brother, are you planning to go back?"
With that said, he took out a package of red plums from his coat pocket, first broke out one and handed it to Xu Kun, then broke another one and held it in his mouth.
"That's not true."
Xu Kun took out a lighter and lit it for both parties, puffing out smoke and saying: "I have seen the world this time, and I don't plan to go back to my hometown for the time being."
As he said that, he pointed back at the single room: "No, I'm just looking for Brother Six to show me the way."
"Looking for the sixth man to show you the way? It's better if he doesn't lead you into a ditch!"
The scar-faced man curled his lips and inadvertently glanced at the advertisement printed on the lighter. His eyes suddenly lit up. He pointed at the lighter and said with a smile: "Didn't he already give you directions? This store has the best service near Erli Village." Well, especially that Xiao Tao, tsk tsk, he’s really got something! Last time I..."
Seeing that he went straight to Xiasan Road without saying a few words, Xu Kun quickly interrupted and said righteously: "Actually, I like Mengmeng more - Brother Six is out for something?"
The scar-faced man made two exaggerated semicircles in front of him: "Although Mengmeng is beautiful, she is so cute - the sixth child has gone out to collect the bill. No matter how naughty he is, if he doesn't pay, this construction site will be ruined." I can’t open the pot!”
"So I ordered two, and we focused on the big ones and let go of the small ones to make up for each other's weaknesses - Brother Six, can you come back in the morning?"
"Hey, the young man is very energetic - he should be able to come back. How about you wait for him in the house for a while?"
It wasn't until before they separated that the two of them exchanged names with each other.
This scar-faced man, Sixth Brother, and Yongge are all brothers, otherwise he wouldn't be so casually called Sixth Brother.
Xu Kun entered the single room and saw that apart from the wire bed in the corner, there was only a starched boss chair, so he simply sat on the desk against the wall.
He raised his eyes and looked around casually. In addition to a bed, a table, and a chair, there was also a safe with peeling paint in the room. However, the location and way it was placed made it difficult to believe that there was a real safe locked inside. Gold and silver.
All of this was far shabbier than Xu Kun expected, and coupled with Scarface's words just now, he basically had no hope that the trip could achieve its goal.
When Xu Kun left the West Railway Station three days ago, he was high-spirited and ambitious. However, in the past few days, when Xian came down to think about it, he became more and more confused.
It is true that he was reborn from the future, but he has been locked up in prison for more than 20 years. He can only imagine the rapidly changing new century through the descriptions of the inmates. He has a blind eye to the outside situation, but at most It can only be regarded as looking at flowers in the mist or looking at the moon in the water.
Excluding the unrealistic nonsense and the 'Tongtian Avenue' that he couldn't figure out at all, the ways to make money that Xu Kun heard from the inmates were either selling coolies or committing illegal crimes - there was no way, if How could they become Xu Kun's inmates if they could easily make money without breaking the law?
Xu Kun didn’t want to choose either of these two paths, otherwise wouldn’t this new life be in vain?
After thinking about it, it seems that the only safe and feasible option is to buy a house and wait for appreciation.
But the problem is that Xu Kun has been used to spending a lot of money over the years, and he has only saved a total of seven or eight thousand yuan - well, there is less than six thousand yuan left now. After all, the plan to make up for one's strengths and weaknesses is not cheap.
This little money can't even buy a bigger toilet in Beijing.
That's why Xu Kun thought of asking Sixth Brother to see if there were any short-term and quick projects. At least he could collect the down payment first.
But look at this situation...
While he was closing his eyes and worrying about his future, Xu Kun suddenly heard someone rushing into the room and walking quickly towards him. He immediately opened his eyes wide, his thick eyebrows were raised like knives, and his four white eyes were revealed with a fierce look!
This is also a habit developed in the dormitory. If someone suddenly approaches during the break, for unknown reasons, Xu Kun will immediately show the most intimidating posture-previously on the minibus The same goes for above.
The visitor was obviously frightened. He staggered back half a step, then quickly assumed a standard defensive posture with his feet unsteady.
Are there any experts?
Although Xu Kun saw that the person who came had a gray face and looked like he had just come down from the construction site, Xu Kun knew that he had probably misunderstood, but the posture of the other person was obviously practiced, so he did not put away the fierce look on his face, but raised his eyebrows and asked Then he said: "What do you want to do?"
"Brother, I, I want to make a call." The visitor showed his white teeth innocently, pointed to the landline on the table, and then tentatively moved closer to the table.
Although this boy looks naive and not very tall, he is very courageous. You must know that even the brave and aggressive prisoners in the prison may not dare to continue to approach Xu Kun despite the pressure.
Of course, the reason why Xu Kun is so intimidating is because of his record of one penetration and three. Otherwise, it would be sheer fantasy to try to deter those serious criminals with just his eyes.
Realizing that there had been a misunderstanding, Xu Kun's eyebrows and eyelids drooped, he suppressed the fierce look on his face, got down from the table calmly, and said: "Then you go ahead and fight."
Unexpectedly, the little man who was so anxious just now stopped when he saw this scene, staring at Xu Kun's face and looking up and down, as if he had discovered some strange treasure.
Xu Kun was impatient by his look, and he glared again and urged: "Will you beat me or not?"
However, seeing him show his fierce look again, the little man was not afraid, but his eyes shone brightly, and he said: "Hit him, hit him, I'll hit him now."
Then while taking out a BB camera, he still couldn't help but look at Xu Kun furtively.
Does this kid know me?
But it sounds like his accent is not from his hometown?
However, for some reason, Xu Kun looked familiar to the other person. When he was wondering where he had seen the other person, the little man suddenly looked confused, fiddled with the landline and said in surprise: "It's weird, why can't we get through? ?”
"It's probably Brother Six who locked it up."
Xu Kun said, took out the Nokia from his pocket and handed it over: "Use mine."
"This...thank you big brother, thank you big brother!"
The little man took the phone with fear and fear, thanked him several times, and then dialed the number according to the message on the BB phone. Speaking in Mandarin with an accent, he said: "Hey, Brother Chen, I'm protecting you, two meters away." You can do a backflip on Gao’s wall, right? That’s no problem, it’s definitely no problem! 80 yuan for a day, okay, okay, I’ll wait at the door at 6:30 tomorrow , Brother Chen, don’t worry, it won’t delay our crew’s filming!”
When Xu Kun heard this, he finally understood why he looked familiar to the other person. Isn't this the Wang Baoqiang who acted in the movie?
The prison occasionally organizes movies for prisoners, most of which are family comedies, and Wang Baoqiang is a frequent guest in such movies.
Although Xu Kun had heard from fellow inmates who were watching movies together that Wang Baoqiang was from a grassroots background, he never expected to meet him on the construction site.
Just when he felt incredible, Wang Baoqiang had already hung up the phone and handed over the phone with great gratitude. However, he did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he showed a posture of hesitating to speak.
"What's wrong?"
Realizing that he was in front of a big star who had yet to make a fortune, Xu Kun was happy to chat with him for a few words, so he asked with a smile: "If you have something to say, just tell me. Why are you so coquettish?"
"The inner one..."
Inspired by Xu Kun's attitude, Wang Baoqiang gestured with his hands on his face and asked curiously: "Brother, how did you do it just now? You suddenly became special, special...and then suddenly became kind again."
Halfway through, he felt that the words were too abrupt and hurriedly explained: "I don't mean anything else. I, I am actually an actor. I just want to know how did you do it, brother? It was like you were a different person just now." It seems like that! I have practiced in front of the mirror before, but I just couldn’t do it like you, brother... well, you can retract it freely like this, yes, you can retract it freely!"
Hearing his incoherent words, Xu Kun couldn't help but laugh. He raised his eyebrows and asked murderously, "Is this what you're talking about?"
Immediately, his eyebrows drooped again, returning to their normal state.
"Yes, yes!"
Wang Baoqiang slapped his thigh excitedly: "Brother, how do you practice this? Can you teach me? I, I can pay your tuition, and you can also learn from your teacher!"
He has been a group actor for two years. Although he is limited by his cultural level and cannot summarize any theory, he can at least see the performance tension shown by this set of expression changes.
If you learn this skill, it's hard to say anything else. You will definitely have no problem playing a two-faced villain.
"Haha~"
Seeing that the future big star said that he wanted to learn from his teacher, Xu Kun couldn't help but feel a little proud. He said with a smile: "I don't want to say whether you can learn it or not. Even if you can learn it, this person's three courts and five eyes are different from others. I am like this The method may not work for you, so don’t waste your time, it will end up being in vain.”
Not to mention the innate external conditions and the experience of killing people, just this expression change is not that simple.
Although it may seem like just pressing the eyebrows and controlling the eyelids and muscles around the eyes, if you really want to master it and even develop a daily habit, you have to work hard for a long time.
It was also because he suffered from the bad looks and was extremely bored in prison that he spent more than ten years of hard work to get to this point. If he were outside, he would probably never be able to...
etc!
Looking at Wang Baoqiang, who was a little disappointed, Xu Kun suddenly had an idea in his mind. Since even future big stars want to learn from him, can he also become an actor with his ability to change faces?
As we all know, the entertainment industry makes money quickly, has many beauties, and can become famous. Isn’t this in line with your ideal of a free and happy life?
Besides, although I haven’t seen many movies in prison, the ones I could get to screen in prison should all be quite famous. If I seize these opportunities, I might really be able to make it in the entertainment industry. Come on!
And even if you don't get out in the end, you can at least get in touch with Wang Baoqiang, who has yet to make a fortune. This business is not a loss at all.
