these years

Soon came the wedding day.

The weather was fine that day, and the green grass was covered with autumn light. A grand scene had been arranged in the garden, waiting for people from all walks of life to sit down and watch the ceremony.

Wang Lijun was standing by the white pillar, holding a cigarette in his hand, looking into the garden, the bright sky was shining on half of his face, making his face like a crown of jade.Seeing this scene, Qiao Weidong quickly raised his camera. He had long since stopped using instant imaging cameras. Wang Lijun couldn't tell what the camera he was using now, only that it was quite professional and very expensive.

Wang Lijun heard the sound of the camera sticking out, subconsciously raised his head, and turned his full face to the camera.He knew that in this way, the sunlight would draw a golden edge on himself, the brightest spot of light was just on the tip of the nose, the corners of the cheeks were not in the shadow, and the incense smoke lingered underneath, like a hand supporting his handsome face.

He counted silently in his heart, and felt that Qiao Weidong had probably finished taking pictures, so he turned his head and asked with a smile, "What's there to take? We have taken quite a few pictures like this."

Qiao Weidong poked his head out from behind the camera, and said, "Brother, you are getting married today! The photo is just to commemorate it, and this is what you look like on your wedding day."

Wang Lijun corrected: "Hey, it's wrong, it should be, this is what I looked like on my first wedding day."

Qiao Weidong was stunned for a few seconds, and the two of them smacked their lips together again—since there was the first time, there might be a second time.Both of them understood somewhat that growing up is a process of becoming peaceful. During this process, people will learn how to accept this weird world.

At this time Jin Rulin came, and he wanted to introduce Wang Lijun to several business partners.Qiao Weidong was naturally left where he was. He watched Wang Lijun shaking hands with some celebrities from a distance, and he felt that Brother Lijun was really handsome.If there were any shortcomings, it would be that Wang Lijun kept bowing and greeted him with a smile, looking a little frivolous. Even though he looked like a noble son, no son of any family would greet him and bowed his head.This is not a performance in front of the audience. Meimei has finally encountered a blind spot where she cannot exert her power. In front of the upper class, Wang Lijun is still showing timidity.

Qiao Weidong was thinking about something, but was interrupted by someone.The person who came was a foreign man. He handed out a business card, and Qiao Weidong took a look. It said "James Copperfield, Hong Kong Society of Photography".

James happily grabbed his hand, shook it firmly, and said, "Mr. Qiao Weidong, hello, I have watched a lot of movies that you did photography recently, such as "Jade Face of Love", "Infinite Spring" The Tide on the Dangerous Peak, from the perspective of photography, these two films are excellent works."

James spoke standard Mandarin and knew how to praise. Qiao Weidong was immediately happy when he heard this, and asked with a smile, "Thank you, thank you, who are you?"

Only then did James remember, and he hurriedly took out another invitation card: "On behalf of the Hong Kong Society of Photographic Studies, I would like to invite you to participate in the next 'Bitter Days' Photography Exhibition——"

Qiao Weidong accepted the invitation, looked at it for a while, and asked, "Director Gao Baifei will also go?"

James happily said: "Yes! Gao Baifei is the honorary president of this society, and he will also bring his works to attend."

Qiao Weidong became interested: "His name is Gao Baifei, are you also called Gao Baifei?"

James said: "Haha, yes, Gao Baifei is my uncle. In fact, Gao Baifei is the Cantonese transliteration of our surname Copperfield, which was later used by him as a stage name."

Qiao Weidong was very happy, and checked the invitation over and over again: "Wow, wow, ah, it turns out to be like this, what an honor, I will definitely go—"

Later, Qiao Weidong chatted with James a lot, and learned that Gao Baifei's family loves to travel. For example, Gao Baifei used to be a sailor and traveled all over the world with the ferry. After that, James also traveled around several continents like his uncle. He settled in a port, and his Mandarin was learned on the mainland.

When it came to excitement, Qiao Weidong took a bust of James on the spot, which was not enough, and the two even went around arresting people to take pictures.When everyone in the garden saw that it was Gui Zaidong who had come to catch people, they immediately froze in place and did not dare to move, allowing the two of them to shoot blindly.After the filming, Qiao Weidong still had to criticize, "Oh, no, these people are too stiff.

Qiao Weidong was running around to take pictures, when Wang Lijun was chatting and laughing with the distinguished guests, he happened to see Qiao Weidong running around the garden with a camera, and felt that this was not in line with his status, so he quickly sent someone to call him back to his side.

The servant went over and handed over the message. Hearing this, Qiao Weidong reluctantly closed the camera and bid farewell to John.He came over and said, "I didn't put a knife on my neck to force them to take pictures, so why can't I take pictures?"

Wang Lijun educated him: "I say you should bear with it a little bit, don't be too aggressive, there are so many people, at least I will save some face for you and Yi'an."

Qiao Weidong wanted to refute something, but it happened that several jazz came over.They were full of enthusiasm and wanted to take a photo with Wang Lijun.Seeing this, Wang Lijun immediately went forward happily, and they stood together hand in hand and shoulder to shoulder.The photographer stood in front, pressed the shutter after deliberation, and said OK to them. Everyone was quite satisfied - this photo will be developed in the near future. Putting it in Wang Li's military residence can stabilize his future.

After the photo was taken, the jazz patted Wang Lijun on the shoulder, said a few words of praise, and left chatting.

The photographer wanted to leave with him, but he saw the blue sky and white clouds and the open scenery, so he said: "Brother Jun, Brother Dong, come together, I will take pictures with you!"

Qiao Weidong heard the sound, took a step to the side, and stood beside Wang Lijun.Wang Lijun turned to look sideways, and stretched out his hand to pull him closer.

The cameraman yelled for them to pay attention, and the two looked at the camera.The photographer gestured again, and pressed the shutter, and the film became a picture. It can be predicted that in the photo developed from this film, the sky will always be blue, the clouds will always be white, and the scenery will always be open. There are two men standing side by side, Always smiling and looking at the camera.

In Qiao Weidong's view, the reason why photography is great is because it transcends time.The landscape that feels ordinary today may be viewed in the future, which may give rise to endless sighs.For example, at this moment, neither of them realizes that this is the first time that the two of them exist in the same photograph.At the same time, this was the first time that Qiao Weidong stood beside Wang Lijun as an equal.He is not a horse boy, not a brother, just like Wang Lijun, he has his own life and career, he is another man who stands upright.

Before the two of them had time to separate, Zhong Weihong also rushed over.Jin Rulin arranged the place of bridesmaid for her, and she should be able to take a photo with the groom.

A bridesmaid came, and several bridesmaids also came, followed by the best men. Seeing that the photo was being taken here, people from all walks of life were moved by the news, nothing else, everyone was sensitive to the camera.In this way, there are more and more people around them, spreading out one word, gradually filling the whole picture.

Wang Lijun embraced Qiao Weidong, and the two stood in the middle, standing upright.Seeing so many people surrounding them, Wang Lijun couldn't help grinning, it was like he and his brother were leading a big family.All men in this world have the dream of leading a team, but their teams are different according to their ability. Some are parties, some are companies.As he grew older, Wang Lijun found that he really liked the big family. He wanted to escape from Beijing because he hated being the inconspicuous one in the big family.But right now, he is the star of the stars, the head of ten thousand women—he is holding Qiao Weidong with one hand, unbuttoning the groom’s suit with the other, and shaking the hem of the clothes, his face is full of confidence—he begins to look forward to blooming again. Ye, hundreds of sons and grandsons.

Finally when it was time to salute, Mimi walked in slowly, holding her father's arm. From the entrance to the priest, the distance was too long. Wang Lijun was really bored, so he looked at everyone.He saw a sky full of gods and Buddhas sitting in the seat: several executives of the "Qinlin faction" in the company sat together, they didn't look at the newcomers at all, they just whispered to each other; Du Yibing brought a new girlfriend, and he made another mistake The girl is bragging, gesticulating and describing something; the best man and bridesmaids are people who are to be praised by various departments, as if they don’t know each other; Qiao Weidong can’t blend in with the crowd, so he has to sit in the first row of the ceremony with his camera in his hand——Wang Lijun He refused to be the best man because Wang Lijun thought that Qiao Weidong was very real, and the scene was too fake, and he was not worthy of his younger brother to participate in it.

Wang Lijun looked around the audience, but to his disappointment, Christian did not come.He thought, maybe this is the company's request, in order to create the illusion of "the apprentice wins the love with a sword, and the master will never communicate with him again", so that the paparazzi present have something to write about.

He sighed, holding one hand with the other, not in a pretty mood.

After a quarter of an hour, Wang Lijun finally took over the bride's hand. Mimi was dressed in a pure white dress, she looked very beautiful at first glance, but Wang Lijun seemed to be able to see that the foundation on her face was slightly floating, her lipstick was not beautiful, and her ankles were swollen due to pregnancy.

When the couple exchanged rings, Wang Lijun heard the happy sighs of the spectators one after another, and he was immediately relieved. This is a scene, and the actors should have sex and perform in the play, and then interact with the audience for mutual happiness.He remembered what Chang Miaotong said - although life is like a play, an actor must be dedicated!Marriage is one of the most important things in a mortal's life, but they use it for acting. It can be seen that actors are already above mortals.For the first time in his life, Wang Lijun understood Chang Miaotong's happiness when the pleasure of deceiving all living beings and being in charge of fate suddenly struck.

When the bride and groom kissed each other with a smile on their faces, since their life was fixed and the couple was married, at this moment, the sound of the grand organ finally sounded.
