Still, Wait For Me
Chapter 523: Travel to the United States
"What more do you want me to do" is played by two unknown actors.
apple appeared as a bystander, changing costumes, makeup, hairstyles, standing at a corner of the street, a windowsill at a western hotel, and the crowd at the station.
It's like she's a native of every city, and for a long time, she's been out of the picture, but she's seen every scene.
From the sweet love and travel of a couple of men and women to their separate backs...
Later, one of them came back alone and stood at the long street crossing where he had once walked with his hand, hesitating and afraid to walk in.
She was singing:
“... at least when we split up, I fell apart.
I would choose to go around the street.
I wish I could meet you on the other street.
I miss being strong and won't forget... ”
apple and Xu Tiansheng, there really is no clear separation process between the two people, at least, there is no argument, no hysteria, no one has spoken so far, no one has succeeded in responding, which is best.
There should be a breakup plot, nothing like that.
However, the two people were separated, without forcibly breaking the fierce momentum of that moment, just like the artist who was a sugar man pulled that sugar thread long, thinner and weaker with a spoon in his hand, and finally, lost its original connection... so, sweet, became another person.
I really want to say that there was a breakup, counting Xiang as the final breakup at the moment when the hospital said his name, indeed, Apple behaved generously.
But the story is often like this, every couple at the end of the day, saying goodbye, smiling and saying, "I think this is good, it's okay, don't worry," in fact, often more than the one that was full of guilt on the spot... can't forget, and it's easier to continue grieving for a long time afterwards.
Guilty for a while Xu Yanyuan enjoyed his long-awaited happiness and sweetness, falling into the generous apple, still trapped there.
“What else do you want from me? What do you want from me?
... loved you, well worth it.
I don't want you to do anything, nothing.
I walked with you. You can't forget.
Because that was me, the happiest time.
…… ”
The MV plot, boys and girls running along the river embankment, running, running... left the girl alone, alone running to the sunrise, sunset, spring and fall, short hair and ponytail... images of transformation.
The synchronized lyrics repeatedly ask, what more do you want me to do?
It's like a separate lover, one of them with a stubborn expression, a fierce tone of voice, expressing dissatisfaction and grievance, blaming each other implicitly... but in fact, when the phrase comes out, she's already a beggar.
“What else do you want from me? What do you want from me? ”
“Tell me what I should do… I'll do it. ”
The two sentences are exactly the same. However, the last sentence, which seemed humble, was actually a little more hopeful than the last one, which was strong.
I don't want you to do anything, nothing - the one who talks is still strong, just for the next moment, although she looks like she is speaking in the tone of command, in fact, begging...
“I walk with you, you can't forget. Because that was me, the happiest time. ”
“Please, don't forget the road we used to take together, because it was me, the happiest time. ”
The two sentences are exactly the same. However, the previous sentence, like when a person reaches the end and is no longer spoiled, still pretends to be cared for, still as before, makes sex, cheating, giving orders, as if... still is once, she says no, don't, even if it doesn't make sense.
Actually, she knows she doesn't have that power anymore.
The end of the MV scene is the girl standing alone for a long time, facing the waves that keep pounding... and the apple, far away, sitting on the rock with her knees in her arms.
She ended up singing, "One night, I had a dream. You're white and pale, saying take me wandering. I still don't hesitate to go to heaven with you. ”
…………
Sunday evening early, after eating, Xu Gardener packed the bag, packed the book and the washed school uniform, and filled it with snacks so that it couldn't be filled, hung shoulder to shoulder.
After taking the car keys and putting them down, Xu Tiansheng remembered Xiang Jiao and said that he would not drive this time.
Fortunately, their home is not far from the old school campus of the abandoned Rock Church, just a few minutes' walk away.
The two of them went downstairs before and after.
At the end of April, Iwata had actually begun to get a little hot. Good thing it was evening, and the sunset through the trees was gentle and beautiful. Occasionally, people encountered the illusion of the phenomenon of Dindal.
The vast majority of the old streets in southern cities should have a story about it and the French Wutong, but then the old streets became new streets, and Wutong didn't know where to go.
These trees appear to have been around for some years, with thick trunks, white epidermis on the top and black patches on the cracks, like branding of the years, but still lush with leaves.
In Xu Tiansheng's impression, they should be replaced in two years. At least by the time he came to Iwata in 2011, it had become a bustling and crowded new street...
However, the pavement at the foot is still full of the oldest gray square tiles. Some of the tiles are underneath the ground. In rainy weather, water is stored and stepped on, and water and mud can splash all over the body.
Xiang curled Xu Gardener's clothing horn, and the two men walked to the school not too slowly in the speckled sunset beneath the trees.
This is the first time that Xu Tiansheng has ever given such a gift to school. Many small couples walk around, some holding hands, some holding shoulders, and occasionally a teacher riding or driving by, they rush away.
Xiang Zheng was not afraid, she said I was just pulling a corner.
Occasionally, Xiang Jie's classmates or friends pass by, they pretend to stop the car as usual, twist their hands around the car and deviate from a corner, then put their feet on the ground and say hello, "Xiang Jie, go to school? ”
Xiang Jian would smile and say, "Well, yeah. You, too, huh? ”
Nutrition-free dialogue.
Classmates and friends actually just wanted to take a few moments to look around Xiang Jiao, carry many gardeners in red bags for her, and then speculate, blink at the obscure item with a smile, say, "Then I'll go first," and slip away.
Each time, when the classmates leave, Xiang Jiang will peek at Xu Yanyuan's side face, shy and happy.
The 20-minute journey will soon be over. When they get to the school door, the time is actually still early. Little couples fall in love on the trails on both sides of the school door for a while. Then, colleagues, walking into the school door before and after minutes, different ones, waving through the door, one says you go back, one says, I'll watch you go in before you go.
Xiang Zheng looked at Xu Tiansheng and said: “Give me the bag. ”
Xu Tiansheng gave her the bag and helped her carry it on her shoulder.
“That's great," Xiang elaborated, "If that's the case every week, how nice. You're going to stand here for a while, wait for me to walk in, say goodbye to you later, and then you're going to act like you can't afford it. You're going to have to wait for me to walk a long way and wave my hand a lot before you go. ”
Xu Tiansheng said, "Okay. ”
Finally, Miss Xiang entered the school door, waved back and said goodbye... walked a long way and waved her hands many times.
On his way home, Xu Tiansheng suddenly had the feeling: Why don't you stop? In fact, it is long enough, this world will definitely not be able to afford houses, cars, and life will not be difficult. Then why don't you stop? To enjoy the flawless happiness that was sought and not obtained in previous life, just like that, prolong the years... "
It's very simple, actually.
When she arrived home, Xu Tiansheng received her text message:
The phone is going to be taken care of by the teacher. I'm starting to miss you.
…………
After a long holiday of 517 days, Xiang condensed on his parents' new opening and then helped him with the unusually hot braised chicken rice. Xu Tiansheng went to the United States on a scheduled trip.
He was accompanied by Fang Yunyao, Fu Cheng, and a small team led by Hu Chen on the stars.
The original purpose of the trip was only to take Fang Yunyao to the private clinic where Xu Tiansheng had last repaired her scar, and to deal with the scar on her body, which had been fixed a long time ago.
Fang Yunyao and Fu Cheng did not want those scars to persist. Especially in the case of growing nostalgia, there were so many striking scars on the mother. In any case, it was an unpleasant, even fearful, and difficult to explain.
As for Hu Chen and the star team, the reason is that not long ago Hu Chen received an accidental email from the other side of the ocean expressing a copyright purchase intention.
What they want to buy is the overseas copyright to the game Plant Wars Zombies.
This company that wants to buy copyrights from the stars is called Facebook, and the person who emailed it is called Mark. Zuckerberg.
In fact, in the context of the rapid explosion of the Botanical War Zombie within a short period of time, due to the biased back of the game, the industry can see at a glance that the game is in the Western market, so the stars received a lot of copyright buying intentions from abroad during this period.
However, most of them are not “fishing” targets for Xu Gardeners, or simply frightened by the price of the stars.
In fact, Xu Tiansheng feels that his price is not high at all, which is a super IP in the future, and once a thing involves copyright issues, its profitability in developed European and American countries is that the Z country, which has a relatively weak sense of authenticity, cannot expect it in any way.
Give cheap to foreigners? Xu Tiansheng won't do it.
One refusal, one seemingly unreasonable lion opening, under different cognitive status, including Hu Chen on and off the stars, all form a delusion, feel this copyright, Xu Tiansheng doesn't want to sell at all, or at least not yet.
As a result, Hu Sam's interest in conveying overseas copyright buying intentions to Xu Tinsheng also faded considerably.
This purchase intention from facebook, he just mentioned it at the end of the call after talking about something else... so that's what happened, Xu Yanzheng across the phone... so excited.
“Who do you think this time it came from?” Xu Tiansheng asked and wanted to confirm it again.
“Facebook, a social platform in the United States, currently has about a million users and is a well-liked Internet company. I guess this time they mainly want to learn from our model, and while making money through games, the main purpose is to quickly attract user groups to social platforms through games. ”
Hu Sam answered seriously.
In the current state, the number of users, the maturity of development, facebook and star microblogging are not really a measure at all. Of course, the difference in the population base between the two countries themselves is one of the reasons.
In short, Facebook now intends to draw on the possibilities of the star Weibo development model, it does exist, otherwise it is a social platform, waiting to be big in the future to provide others with a gaming platform, what copyright do you see yourself buying?
Xu Tiansheng's original plan had the intent of “fishing" in itself. He wanted to see if he could use it to strengthen contacts and find opportunities to invest in some future fires, and the overseas company, which was just starting out, pitted some shares.
He just didn't expect... this fish is so big!
facebook, big gold mine worth $350 billion in the future, oh no, diamond mine...
Xu Tiansheng was so excited, he wanted to take heart, and lived again.
“Did you reply to each other? ”
“Not yet. ”
Xu Tinsheng rarely had such a great motivation to confuse Hu Sam.
“They… certainly can't afford it.” With a few hesitations, Hu Sam said.
Now Facebook can't really afford the overseas copyright of Plant Wars Zombies. In fact, even if it can afford it, Xu Tiansheng can't afford it. Then, with a caring smile, he says: "Although you can't afford it, I have a small suggestion...”
This suggestion is: copyright for shares.
Xu Tiansheng has never had a chance to see a bag this big in his life... without a bite, I can't say anything.
“I know they can't afford it, ha!” Xu Tiansheng continues to make Hu Sam more and more confused and excited. This logic is really wrong, the other party can't afford it... What are you excited about?!
“That's what you tell them, say copyright, you can't afford it, but we're willing to consider… talking about shares. Share swap copyright.” Xu Tiansheng said.
Hu Sam stunned for a while: "You want Facebook shares? ”
Xu Tinsheng said, "Yes. ”
“You want to swallow it? Being a social platform abroad, I told you that I came back from abroad, things were not so simple...” Hu Sam wanted to persuade you.
“Swallow it?” Xu Tiansheng said somehow, “Why swallow it? No, I just want some shares, not too much... of course, not too much. For example, we could consider discounting the copyright price by half, or even a third, in exchange for the corresponding shares against the other party's current valuation… in fact, a quarter, a fifth… ”
Xu Tinsheng said, "Swallow it?" Swallow it. Where do I find Zachberg? Is he the one who works for people? So he's gone, and he's building another platform like this. What am I gonna do with Facebook? I'm not that material!
This matter finally stalled between Hu Shan and Xu Tiansheng for a while. How could Hu Shan not understand Xu Tiansheng...
However, Xu Tiansheng is the boss, he wants to go alone, and Hu Sam can't stop him.
He made more skillful initial contact with Xu Tiansheng… Soon, he replied: We can talk.
Xu Tinsheng woke up several times in his dreams that day.
