I found a cell phone from ten years ago.

Chapter 115 Many years later?

After Liu Xin got down from the back seat of the electric bike, Luo Jiahui lifted her long legs, sat on it, and held her waist tightly with one hand.

Li Xu handed her the DV camera and said, "You hold the camera and shoot. You know the lines, right?"

"I know. Who can't remember such simple lines?" Luo Jiahui said with a confident smile.

She watched the replay two or three times and had memorized those lines.

"Then it begins."

Li Xu did not return to the starting position, but continued to ride slowly forward with Luo Jiahui on his back.

Luo Jiahui held Li Xu's waist tightly with one hand, held the camera with the other, looked at the camera and said: "If in the future... you don't want me anymore when you have money, this video... this video..."

However, she got stuck just as she started speaking the line.

When she was watching from the side, she thought it was very simple, but when she faced the camera, she became inexplicably nervous.

Li Xu stopped the electric bike, turned around, smiled and said to her, "How about it, now you know that filming is not as simple as you thought."

"I just started filming and I'm not used to it yet. There will definitely be no problem once I adapt." Luo Jiahui curled her lips and said unconvincedly.

That being said, during the actual filming, whenever she faced the camera, she would unconsciously get nervous and her lines would always come out haltingly.

The shot was less than 20 seconds long and had only three or four lines in total. The two of them shot it three or four times over. After riding the electric bike for a mile or two, she finally spoke the lines more fluently.

"If I remain penniless, will you abandon me?" Li Xu asked.

"Well~ guess." Luo Jiahui said with a coquettish smile.

"It's okay this time." Li Xu stopped the electric car again.

"Is it really okay? No need to reshoot?" Luo Jiahui couldn't help but let out a long sigh and put down the camera that she had been holding high.

Finally finished filming, it was not easy!

Strangely enough, when she was working as a car model, the exhibition site was packed with people and so many cameras were pointing at her, but she was not nervous at all, but full of confidence.

Why do I feel uncomfortable facing the camera when filming? I feel very restrained and nervous.

Li Xu rode the electric scooter with Luo Jiahui back to the starting position.

"Are you done filming?" Seeing them come back, Liu Xin, who was squatting on the ground chatting with Li Yajie, immediately stood up and asked with a smile.

Li Xu nodded to her and said, "Come and watch the replay."

Liu Xin and Luo Jiahui surrounded Li Xu, put their heads in front of the camera and watched the replay. Li Yajie also came over curiously.

Xu Haoyang and Li Guanfu were not there, so the two guys ran to the Mercedes-Benz E300 and sat in it.

Li Xu did not replay the shots of Luo Jiahui that she had NG, but directly called out her best performance.

Luo Jiahui looked at her own embarrassing performance in the viewfinder and couldn't help pouting, feeling a sense of shame in her heart.

Before, she thought that Liu Xin couldn’t even shoot such a simple scene well. Now that she has experienced it herself, she knows that it is not that simple.

At this time, Li Xu said: "Not bad."

"Is this true? You are not trying to comfort me, are you?" Luo Jiahui glanced at him with a look of disbelief.

Li Xu looked at her and said, "Why would I lie to you? For a newbie with no experience, your performance is pretty good."

Although Luo Jiahui's overall performance was a bit awkward, she delivered her lines fairly well, and her voice had a charming charm that was unique.

At this point, he finally understood what Liu Xin's problem was before. The rhythm of her lines was not strong enough, and it lacked a touch of playfulness and agility.

Li Xu turned to Liu Xin and said, "Xinxin, try rereading your lines. This time, read them faster and with more emotion."

Xinxin?

Luo Jiahui glanced at Li Xu and couldn't help but curl her lips. This was a very intimate way of calling him.

This guy has never called her by her nickname.

Liu Xin thought for a moment, then, as Li Xu requested, sped up her lines and repeated them again: "... then you'll definitely never meet a girl willing to ride a scooter with you on a rainy day again."

After hearing this, Li Xu nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, that's the feeling."

After explaining the process to Liu Xin, Li Xu took her on an electric bike and filmed the scene again. This time, the result was much better than before, barely meeting his expectations.

However, when Li Xu rode an electric bike with Liu Xin and Luo Jiahui back to the starting position and planned to shoot the scenes in the car, he found that the Mercedes-Benz E300 parked there was no longer in its original place, but had been driven far away.

He didn't need to guess to know that it must be Li Guanfu who was itching to get his hands on the car and drove away.

Soon, the Mercedes-Benz E300 slowly reversed back. Li Guanfu pushed open the door, got out of the driver's seat, and said to Li Xu a little embarrassedly, "I just felt itchy, so I tried to drive it."

Li Xu didn't say anything, but just handed the camera in his hand to the other party.

"Okay, let's shoot now."

The biggest feature of this type of delusional subject matter is the frequent use of montage shooting techniques, and the transitions are extremely sudden.

Li Xu sat alone in the Mercedes-Benz E300, watching the video on his mobile phone, as if the previous scene was just an illusory dream.

He looked out of the car, his gaze seemed to travel through time and space, and saw a boy riding an electric bike and carrying a girl gradually going away.

The words still echoed in my ears: What's the point? If you abandon me when you have money, you will definitely never meet me again...

But the next moment the camera turned, and Liu Xin appeared in the passenger seat, looking at him with a smile and saying, "Let's go, drive!"

In the back seat of the car, Li Guanfu put down the camera in his hand and stopped filming.

This shot is very short, less than 10 seconds.

Li Xu took the camera from Li Guanfu, briefly watched the playback, and said to Liu Xin with a smile, "Not bad, very good performance, this shot passed."

Seeing that he passed it in one try, Liu Xin couldn't help but smile brightly.

He reached out and took down a gold pocket watch hanging on the central rearview mirror and handed it to Liu Xin, "Let's continue filming."

This pocket watch is a crucial prop in the video. Whenever it appears, it means that the male protagonist is in hallucination and fantasy.

Perhaps she got into the right state, Liu Xin performed very well during the subsequent filming.

A general shot can be passed in one or two takes, and a slightly more complicated shot can meet the requirements in two or three takes. There is no longer a situation where four or five consecutive NGs occur.

After about two hours, they had shot more than a dozen shots and had completed more than half of the video.

After shooting another shot, Li Xu took out his cell phone to check the time and found that it was already past 10:.

He put away his phone and said to Li Guanfu and Xu Haoyang, "One more shot, then you two can go back first."

"Brother Xu, what about you guys?" Xu Haoyang asked.

As he spoke, he glanced at Luo Jiahui, Liu Xin, and Li Yajie who were standing beside Li Xu. "Let's shoot a little longer and get the remaining shots."

After Li Xu finished speaking, he turned to Li Yajie and said, "Senior, we may have to shoot until very late tonight. If you can't go back to the dormitory after the curfew, you can stay in the hotel with us."

At this point, he paused, glanced at Liu Xin, and then said, "You and Xinxin will live in the same room then."

Li Yajie nodded without hesitation and said with a smile, "Okay, it's okay."

Liu Xin glanced at Li Xu, then glanced at Luo Jiahui, without saying anything.

Luo Jiahui curled her lips, obviously reluctant, but ultimately said nothing.

The next shot is the most crucial part of the entire video. The male protagonist finds the answer and wakes up completely from hallucinations and fantasies.

Li Xu and Liu Xin sat together on a stone pier in the roadside green belt.

"I had a dream." Li Xu said with his back to Liu Xin, as if muttering to himself.

"What dream?" Liu Xin asked softly.

"I worked hard, we have our own car and we got married." Li Xu's tone was complicated and sad.

"Isn't this great? I knew you wouldn't abandon me." Liu Xin said with a smile, but her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

"Can you lean on my shoulder?" Li Xu said softly again.

"Okay!" Liu Xin said, leaning her head lightly on his shoulder.

"It would be great if it could always be like this." Li Xu said dejectedly.

"Then we'll always be together." Liu Xin leaned on his shoulder and said softly.

"But...I should wake up."

After Li Xu finished his last line, he sighed softly, turned around, and said to Liu Xin, who was still leaning on his shoulder, "Okay, that's enough."

Liu Xin leaned on his shoulder but didn't say anything. Her eyes were red and she looked like she was about to cry.

"What's wrong? Are you really into the role?" Li Xu was stunned for a moment and asked with a smile.

"No, I just feel a little uncomfortable." Liu Xin smiled at him, but that smile looked no different from crying.

Then, after a moment's hesitation, she added:
"Why do some guys break up with girls just because they don't have money? If a girl is still willing to be with a guy when he's broke, shouldn't she cherish him?"

"Maybe he doesn't want girls to suffer with him all the time, or maybe the pressure is too great and he can't handle it anymore." Li Xu thought for a while and said.

"Oh!" Liu Xin replied softly, then asked curiously, "What would you choose if it were you?"

Li Xu smiled but did not answer. He stood up.

According to Li Xu's previous thinking, he would not find a girlfriend if his financial conditions were too poor, because he didn't want the girl to suffer with him.

But after watching this video, he suddenly felt that if there is a girl willing to stay with him when he has nothing, such feelings are actually quite precious.

If there really was a girl who treated him like this, he would definitely not let her down.

However, he will probably never experience such feelings in his life. After a man becomes rich, especially when he has a lot of money, it is difficult for him to have that kind of pure feelings.

Li Xu shook his head secretly and threw the idea out of his mind.

This is actually a kind of whining. People are never satisfied. Even after getting something, they still want more.

If he were given another chance to choose, he would still choose money rather than so-called pure feelings.

Without an economic foundation, even the purest relationship cannot last long.

"Are you done filming?" At this time, Luo Jiahui and Li Yajie came over together.

Just now, in order to help Liu Xin get into the mood better, Li Xu cleared the area and did not let Luo Jiahui and others come along, leaving only Li Guanfu in charge of the filming.

Li Xu's gaze fell on Luo Jiahui, who looked both angry and smiling.

Luo Jiahui would definitely not endure hardships with him. If he really ran out of money, she would definitely run away at the first moment.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Luo Jiahui said with a smile when she noticed Li Xu staring at her.

"Nothing." Li Xu retracted his gaze, walked up to Li Guanfu, took the camera from him, watched the playback, and nodded with satisfaction.

Liu Xin was really into the role in this shot and it was filmed quite well.

After putting down the camera, he said to Li Guanfu and Xu Haoyang who were walking over, "Okay, this shot is over. It's almost 11 o'clock. You two should go back."

"Brother Xu, we'll leave first." Li Guanfu said.

Xu Haoyang didn't say anything. He glanced at Luo Jiahui, Liu Xin and Li Yajie, then smiled and gave Li Xu an ambiguous look.

Judging from Li Xu's expression, he will definitely not go back to the dormitory tonight. He took three girls to a hotel to get a room. This is amazing.

Li Xu seemed to remember something, pointed to the electric bike parked not far away, and said to Li Guanfu: "By the way, you two can ride this electric bike back."

All the shots related to electric cars have been shot, and they won’t be used in the next shoot.

After Li Guanfu rode his electric bike and took Xu Haoyang away, Li Xu turned around and said to Liu Xin and Li Yajie, "Let's shoot one more shot in the car, and then we'll leave."

The four of them returned to the car together. Li Xu handed the camera to Liu Xin and asked her to be responsible for filming in the back seat.

This shot connects to the previous one. The male protagonist wakes up from hallucinations and fantasies, but finds himself sitting alone in a Mercedes-Benz with no one on the passenger seat.

Li Xu sat in the driver's seat, turned his head to look at the empty passenger seat, then took out his mobile phone and looked at the photo on the screen - he was riding an electric bike with Liu Xin.

For some reason, a sense of inexplicable melancholy welled up in his heart.

Many years later, when he really becomes a top billionaire with a net worth of hundreds of billions, who will be by his side?

Will Luo Jiahui still be by his side? Where are Xiao Yu, Yu Enxin, Liu Xin, Liang Hui, Li Yajie, Guan Jiayu, and the others? Have they already gone their separate ways, making it unlikely they'll ever see each other again?

At this moment, Li Xu suddenly felt someone patting him lightly. He turned around and saw that it was Liu Xin.

"We've finished filming. Take a look at it. I'm not very good at it." Liu Xin said as he handed the camera over.

Li Xu took the camera and watched the playback. Feeling that it was not good enough, he handed the camera back to Liu Xin.

"Let's shoot it again."

In this video, Li Xu's face does not appear. Liu Xin just uses the camera to shoot the empty passenger seat and Li Xu's mobile phone.

After taking the photo again, the shot was over. After that, Li Xu gave the driving seat to Li Yajie, and sat in the passenger seat, guiding her to drive to Kangqiao Shengfei Community.

Then we went to the underground parking lot in the community, framed and shot two shots, and that was it.
