The next day, Li Xiang came to the seaweed hut and continued to record the latest episode of "Longing for Life". He received a call from a guest and said that a girl wanted to eat hairy crabs and also had to eat fish with wine lees.
Everyone immediately prepared the ingredients and prepared to welcome the guests.
The guest came, and he was a mature and beautiful woman, a very famous singer with a very experienced singer. He also had a phone call with her.
Li Bingyun's phone number.
Li Xiang and He Hao both received it. On the phone, Li Bingyun cried and told them that Cao Jiakai had taken an excessive amount of sleeping pills and was rescued.
The two immediately asked for leave from the crew and hurried to Shengjing. Less than half an hour after the plane took off, Li Bingyun's phone call came again. Li Xiang felt a little nervous and looked at He Haoquan. After answering, he learned that Cao Jiakai had died after he failed to rescue.
When Li Xiang and He Haoquan arrived at the hospital, the reporters had already heard about it and gathered in the hospital lobby.
There was a quarrel at the scene, and the reporter wanted to interview relevant personnel, but the hospital refused.
"Li Xiang, it's Li Xiang coming!!! Li Xiang I have a question to ask you!"
"He Haoquan is here too, stop them for an interview."
"Li Xiang, it is said that the last person Cao Jiakai met before his death was you??"
"Does Li Xiang Cao Jiakai's death have anything to do with you?"
"Director He~ Why did Director He Cao Jiakai choose to commit suicide? Do you know the reason?"
...
When the reporters saw Li Xiang and He Haoquan coming in, they all surrounded them and asked for an interview, blocking them from entering the elevator, and all kinds of bizarre questions were thrown over.
Li Xiang's mind is now in a mess, and many things are crowded in his mind, as if he has lost the ability to take care of himself and cannot figure out a clear clue, which makes him stunned.
He Haoquan is not much better. He and Li Xiang didn't say a word since they got off the plane. They just wanted to meet Cao Jiakai quickly. Seeing this is true, otherwise they would not be able to believe that Cao Jiakai was dead. He was drinking and chatting with them yesterday.
"Does Li Xiang Cao Jiakai's death have anything to do with you?"
A middle-aged male reporter almost poked the microphone into Li Xiang's face and asked sharply, staring at him with a burning look, as if he wanted to see something from his face.
He saw nothing. The next moment, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen and screamed. He couldn't help but bent over. The microphone in his hand could not be held. Then, he heard a crisp sound again, and his right face was sore and swollen.
"How do you hit people?"
"Hit!!"
"Celebrities are beating!!! Ah"
Li Xiang kicked his shoulder and flipped it to the ground, facing the sky.
Li Xiang was going to rush up to beat someone, but was hugged by the others at the scene. He Haoquan then wanted to rush up, but his agent was hugged tightly.
"Stop fighting, stop fighting, Haoquan, calm down." He Haoquan's agent quickly persuaded him. His figure was not as big as He Haoquan and he couldn't pull it.
The first and third kicks just now were kicked by Li Xiang, and the slap was full of He Hao.
Wang Yinzhen also arrived, holding Li Xiang to prevent him from continuing to hit people impulsively.
The male reporter sneered on the ground, shouting that the celebrity had hit people and asked the police to come. Suddenly, he saw Li Xiang bent down and was so scared that he immediately shut up.
Li Xiang picked up the recording pen that almost hit his face just now and handed it to Wang Yinzhen, saying, "Hold this, the police came here, this is evidence."
Just now, this person asked Cao Jiakai's death in public if it had anything to do with him, which involved reputation and slander.
Li Xiang ignored the man's screams and cried out in pain, rushed to the ward, and the reporters crowded in the hall subconsciously made way for a while, and no one dared to stop him.
In the ward, there were Xu Shuzhi, Zhou Ni, Li Bingyun with red eyes, and two middle-aged people, one man and one woman.
Li Bingyun introduced that these two people were Cao Jiakai's brother and sister-in-law.
Cao Jiakai's mother passed away last year, and only his 70-year-old father was left in the family. He hasn't dared to tell his father yet, because he is worried that he can't bear it.
Cao Jiakai, who was lying on the hospital bed, looked pale and completely lost his vitality, but instead looked peaceful.
He Haoquan stood beside the bed with his hands covering his face, crying silently.
Before filming "I Am Not a God of Medicine", he was not very familiar with Cao Jiakai, but after spending five months on the crew, he was full of admiration for this man who made a living by acting.
Anyone who treats his profession sacredly deserves admiration.
He also captured the excellent qualities of love, sincerity, wisdom, open-mindedness and other excellent qualities from Cao Jiakai's taciturn character.
These excellent qualities are precious to anyone, let alone in the entertainment industry where desires are rife.
Compared with these precious qualities, the homosexual relationship that everyone slandered and accused him was nothing, but made He Haoquan think that this was a manifestation of his pursuit of freedom and liberation.
He was very sad about losing such a friend who gave him many surprises as soon as he met...
Li Xiang stood by the window blankly, and the warm sunshine at noon was shining on his body, but he couldn't feel the warmth, and his heart felt cold and tight.
His eyes fell on the hospital bed, avoiding Cao Jiakai's face as if he was afraid.
He looked at it and didn't dare to look again. He was really worried that he would call "Brother Kai" and ask him to get up and talk about literature.
Li Xiang couldn't even understand. The person who was drinking together yesterday discussed "Escape" with him alive. Why did he lose his soul after a night? What was he thinking deep in his heart when he took half a box of sleeping pills? How could he have such great courage?
Li Xiang then thought that no one in the world is not afraid of death, so when a person chooses to die, his heart must have died first. It is precisely because of the despair that he can go to the next step without fear.
The mind has no worries, no worries.
This sentence suddenly popped up in Li Xiang's mind, the sentence he discussed with Cao Jiakai yesterday. At that time, Cao Jiakai asked him about his understanding of this sentence. He said that when a person has no concerns, he can do anything, including fearlessness of death.
Li Xiang instantly figured it out, and he became even more heart-wrenching.
It turned out that Cao Jiakai had already developed ambition to die when he talked about "Escape" with him last night.
In "Escape", in order to resist the oppression of life and for the livelihood of the whole family, his cousin gave up everything and used his life to "change" a bleeding magic trick.
Now, Cao Jiakai has also used his life to interpret his resistance to the secular vision!
His partner gave up on him, he did not give up his freedom, he would rather die than surrender.
Li Xiang's eyes gradually moved upward from the end of the bed, and finally fell on Cao Jiakai's peaceful face.
He didn't seem to be in pain at all, and he was so peaceful.
Li Bingyun walked to him, and both of them were in grief, relying on each other and being able to give each other warmth.
Li Bingyun whispered that Cao Jiakai took sleeping pills at 9 o'clock this morning and lay on the recliner on the balcony. He was found by the housekeeper who was fixed to clean the weekly. He was sent to the hospital and took too much medicine and could not win the rescue.
All the news in the entertainment industry on this day was occupied by Cao Jiakai. After the last time he came out, he once again became a figure in national discussion.
But this time, he will not feel any pressure anymore. Public opinion will say whatever he wants. Everything has nothing to do with him.
Cao Jiakai's funeral will be held in three days. The next day, Li Xiang, Li Bingyun and He Haoquan went to Cao Jiakai's house to help clean up the relics. On the balcony, there was a recliner. If it was not surprising, this should be where Cao Jiakai finally lay down, and he took sleeping pills here.
On the floor next to the lounge chair, there is a pot of orchids growing beautifully, bathed in the thin sunlight and swayed slightly in the wind.
Li Bingyun burst into tears. This was what she brought from Nanke Town to Cao Jiakai.
"Li Xiang, come here." He Haoquan called Li Xiang over and found a book called "The Old Man and the Sea" in his study.
"Look, the title page of this book contains the word Jiakai."
Li Xiang opened the "Old Man and the Sea" he gave to Cao Jiakai last night. When he opened the homepage, he saw a sentence on the title page:
"When the night turns over, there will be a new day; when the tsunami recedes, there will be only the tides rising and falling."
This is a sentence he wrote on the title page of "The Old Man and the Sea" and gave it to Cao Jiakai, and I want to encourage him to move forward.
Now, after this sentence, there is another handwritten fountain pen letter:
"Life is like the sun on the west mountain, and reputation is like frost on grass."
