Chapter 452 I'm Back (Final Chapter)

It was half a month after Liao Yuan was discharged from the hospital, and after a full month of rehabilitation and health care by a physical therapist, his injury was healed and he was able to get out of bed and move around.

After some understanding, Liao Yuan knew that he had been knocked unconscious and kidnapped for six full days.

For the past six days, he stayed in that dilapidated warehouse almost without eating or drinking, and only drank some glucose water that didn't know how long it was expired to continue his life.

If the suspect hadn't used a public phone to call Liao Yuan's manager, and the police had locked in his area of ​​activity, and used his Sky Eye to find out where the suspect was, maybe Liao Yuan would have been torn apart by the suspect on the seventh day.

The suspect is a young man in his early 20s. Because his parents are spoiled and gnawing on the old all year round, he basically has no ability to survive in society. After he was arrested this time, he did not go through too much questioning by the police. He also admitted the crime he had committed and expressed his remorse to Liao Yuan to the police in the interrogation room.

After Liao Yuan heard the news, he didn't know what to say. He just ordered the agent to take charge of the matter and returned the ticket price of 7 yuan to the young suspect's parents.

Afterwards, Liao Yuan expressed his position to the company, and used his influence in the industry to cooperate with the police to jointly suppress the scalpers. The staff of the security company strictly enforced control in major cities across the country, and if they found scalpers, they would be arrested and handed over to the police.

Soon, the existence of scalpers who were all the rage in the industry was completely eradicated and disappeared.

This incident was also passed on by word of mouth by many newcomers and old people in the entertainment industry, and it was known as "Operation Bull Picking" in history. The police even awarded Liao Yuan the National Top Ten Youth Award, in recognition of Liao Yuan's contribution to combating ticket crimes .

Many people were shocked by Liao Yuan's influence, but when they thought of the abduction case that was aroused not long ago, which aroused public discussion in the society, they also expressed their understanding of Liao Yuan's move.

Life started to return to normal.

After the concert was postponed for a month, it also began to be held as scheduled.

Concerts with more than 10 people can only be held in the Bird's Nest.

While practicing the repertoire, Liao Yuan tried his best to recall the past, but he found that the memory of this life became very blurred. He only remembered many scattered memory fragments, and even apart from the manager, the personal assistant who had been together before, Friends in the circle, he can't even name them.

This made it difficult for Liao Yuan to accept.

On the contrary, he remembers Lin Weiyin, Fu Xiaoci, Liao Meiyun, and even Xiao Peng, Fu Yuntao, Zhang Henge, Dong Qiusheng and others very clearly, and even often meets and talks with them in his sleep.

But the dream was very short, and when he woke up, everything was still in the current state.

Lying on the hospital bed for half a month, and doing rehabilitation and health care activities for more than half a month after being discharged from the hospital, Liao Yuan has completely believed that this world is the reality, but the words of Fu Xiaoci and others that pop up in his mind from time to time are not true. Always haunt him.

Which one is real?

Or, are they all real?
No one told him the answer, and the real answer can only be found by himself.

In addition to rehearsing for the concert, after his comeback, Liao Yuan's schedule can be said to be very full. In the morning, he is still holding the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the opening ceremony of a certain company. At noon, he will fly to another city to shoot commercials, and he may run away in the afternoon. Going to audition in front of a certain film director, and as one of the most important shareholders of the company, he also has to participate in company meetings, the time is so full that he hardly has any free time.

It's just that in the dead of night, when Liao Yuan looks at the starry sky outside the huge French windows in the mansion, he always feels extremely lonely.

Friends in the circle came to visit him one after another. Liao Yuan pretended to be familiar with them, but he had to struggle his head to remember who they were. This process made Liao Yuan very painful and shortened the meeting time with his friends.

Everyone thought that Liao Yuan needed to rest, and Liao Yuan's status was extraordinary, so he was more cautious when facing this top superstar.

Liao Yuan lived a fulfilling life, but for some reason, he always felt boring, as if something was missing.

Only in the middle of the night, when you are asleep, maybe you can be happier.

This made him fall in love with night and sleep, because when he sleeps, he can dream, and he can dream about the people and things he wants to see.

Another half month later, Liao Yuan's [-]th anniversary concert was officially held in the Bird's Nest.

Although the time has passed for a long time, the fans also know what happened to Liao Yuan recently, and they all express their understanding. Moreover, because of the disappearance of the scalpers, on the subsequent ticketing days, the fans can return as normal Good location for ticket purchases in concerts.

Some people appreciate Liao Yuan's contributions, and of course some people hate Liao Yuan, but no one can shake this man who stands at the top of the entertainment industry. Everyone should be careful and respect him when facing him.

At the level of Liao Yuan, his influence has gone beyond the scope of ordinary idols. Whether he is a businessman or a politician, he will look at Liao Yuan differently.

"It's about to start. Everyone will appear in order. Don't make any mistakes. Being able to perform in the Bird's Nest is something you can brag about for the rest of your life. Come on everyone!"

"come on!"

Backstage at the Bird's Nest, a group of staff cheered each other on.

But Liao Yuan stayed alone in the lounge, picked up a spinning top, and kept spinning it.

But unfortunately, the spinning top always falls down after a certain time.

This will not work!

Liao Yuan knew that when "Inception" was filmed in that world, the spinning top didn't fall down at all, it kept spinning, constantly spinning, and didn't mean to stop at all.

For Cobb, the protagonist of "Inception", the top is an important prop to distinguish whether he is in a dream. As long as the top keeps spinning, it means that he is in a dream.

If you want to tear apart the dream and break free from the dream, you only need to have a "feeling of falling" and "feeling of weightlessness".

But Liao Yuan tried all the methods, but it still didn't work.

What does this mean?
Show yourself that you are in reality!
And that world is an absolute dreamland!

This made Liao Yuan very painful. Could it be that everything in those four years was all fake and illusory?

He doesn't believe it.

There are no such real dreams.

"Liao Yuan, it's time to play, are you ready?"

Manager Xu Zheng pushed open the door and said to Liao Yuan with a smile.

Liao Yuan turned his head and nodded with a normal expression: "Of course I'm ready."

"Old man, you are a veteran, I know your psychological quality."

Xu Zheng encouraged: "Let this concert wash away the haze that has wrapped around you recently!"

According to the rehearsal procedure, Liao Yuan, dressed in a performance costume, came to the lifting platform below the stage, and formally took the stage together with a group of dancers.

Even in the background, Liao Yuan could hear the countdown shouts of everyone outside, the sound was loud and lively.

When the countdown reached zero, Liao Yuan and the others formally stood on the lifting platform, slowly ascending with loud screams, shouts, and cries.

The next moment, Liao Yuan appeared in front of everyone.

The first song performed was Liao Yuan's sensational masterpiece "Jingwumen" when he first debuted.

Ten years ago, Liao Yuan, who had just debuted for less than a year, became No. 1 on the Internet with this song. His dance in the MV was imitated by the masters of various short video apps, and it can be said that it is popular all over Asia.

At that time, Liao Yuan was handsome and handsome, and he could sing and dance, so he became the top domestic traffic in a very short period of time.

But the singer industry is not his main business. After accumulating a certain number of fans, he turned from singing to filming a year later and began to attack major film studios. Best Newcomer at a major film festival.

Later, he won the favor of capital, and many business tycoons invested in film and television dramas for him.

In the second year, "Langya Bang" and Mei Changsu made him Shidi.

In the third year, his wonderful performance in the movie "Wu Shuang" helped him win the Best Actor Award at the Academy Awards.

Since then, his whole life has been like a hang-up, sweeping the entertainment circle, winning awards every year, and winning the Best Actor and Shidi awards many times.

In the fifth year, the annual income has reached 6000 million US dollars, ranking in the top ten of the global male artist income list, becoming the only male artist in Asia, and the other is the famous kung fu actor Jackie Chan.

Looking back on the past ten years of Liao Yuan, it is definitely a legendary decade, and it is also a memorable decade.

Most of the audience who came to the concert today are die-hard fans who have grown up with Liao Yuan in the past ten years.

Therefore, when [-] fans witnessed Liao Yuan dance the famous work "Jingwumen" ten years ago, memories flowed, and there were countless people crying in an instant.

Many fans' eyes were red and swollen from crying, and they seemed to be fainting, but they still held on to the guardrail, insisted on waving the light sticks in their hands, and skillfully shouted and screamed to support their idols.

"This feeling……"

Liao Yuan was sweating on the stage, singing and dancing psychedelic dance steps, enjoying this long-awaited wonderful stage.

Compared with the life of a pianist, the life of a popular superstar is obviously more tiring.

The two can also be regarded as representatives of one stillness and one movement, and in fact the essence is the same.

The elegance of the pianist Liao Yuan playing the piano in the music hall is different from the splendor and noise of the singer Liao Yuan blooming on the stage at the moment, but they are actually burning and dedicating their lives.

After several songs in succession, Liao Yuan was still a little out of breath, and the sweat on his forehead was already evident. After changing his clothes, Liao Yuan didn't stop at all, and continued to go on stage and sing for the fans.

On the stage of 10 people, the atmosphere was so warm, and the audience shouted and sang in unison, which moved countless people.

Finally, more than two hours passed and the stage was about to end.

Liao Yuan, who was a little tired, said into the microphone with a hoarse voice: "I can't do it anymore. If I continue to sing, my voice will be completely useless. Next, I will add a program privately. There is no rehearsal for this program. It’s not like being lazy.”

After speaking, Liao Yuan clapped his hands, and under the enthusiastic gaze of 10 people, a shiny black piano appeared on the lifting platform.

"Yes, I want to play the piano. Now I really want to play the piano. I hope you will like it."

Huge cheers erupted from the audience.

Liao Yuan sat down in front of the piano, facing the microphone installed on it, and continued: "The first song is for you, this song is called "Monsters"."

"I see the beast in you, I see your pain

Tell me your troubles and I'll drive them away

I will be your beacon

I will protect you

when i see the beast inside you
I will stand up bravely
Get rid of them all..."

The whole song is in English, and the lyrics are simple and easy to understand. All the audience at the scene understood it, and many fans were in tears for a while.

A good singer-songwriter can bring people a source of strength in their songs.

Obviously Liao Yuan is exactly this type, and "Monsters" is also such a song.

Watching Liao Yuan sitting in front of the piano playing, people felt heartbroken at the same time.

Why would you be heartbroken?
People opened their eyes wide, trying to see Liao Yuan's expression clearly, but even with a big screen projection, Liao Yuan at this time could only let people see half of his face because he was sitting sideways.

That half of his face was full of sadness and regret.

The eyes that could be seen were full of tranquility.

Even the actor with the best acting skills might not be able to imitate the loneliness at this moment.

When the song ended, the audience erupted into loud cheers.

"Such a song, even if it gets to Europe and the United States, will definitely be able to occupy the first place in the world music chart!"

Some fans yelled excitedly, their love was so deep that they wanted to cry.

"The second song, "Magic Day", was given to me once."

After Liao Yuan said something in a low voice, he began to actively participate.

This piece of music was played when he played the piano with Xiao En in the crew of "Sea Pianist", and it caused a sensation in that world.

But also because of this piece of music, Liao Yuan's symptoms of sequelae recalling his previous life intensified, which directly led to many subsequent trips to reality and dreams.

If the piece of music hadn't been played, would the dream continue?

Liao Yuan played slowly, and the audience listened silently.

The reason why he played this piece of music was to commemorate the past of that life, and to see what miracles would happen.

But until he finished playing all the melodies, his whole body was still sitting there intact.

My heart is empty.

After a burst of loud applause, the scene began to fall into silence.

"The third song, Where -are- you?"

Liao Yuan uttered this short sentence loudly, as if asking questions, and the scene became more quiet.

"Where-are-you?"

Liao Yuan seemed to be roaring, repeating the question with a slightly painful expression.

Weiyin, Xiaoci, Meiyun...

Where are you?

The [-] fans at the scene watched Liao Yuan roaring like a wounded beast, and couldn't help but feel distressed.

"Stop playing, take a break!"

"Yes, Liao Yuan, stop playing!"

"Brother, we don't watch or listen, don't be too tired!"

The scene fell into noise and panic, and almost all the audience shouted with all their strength, trying to appease Liao Yuan, who seemed to be injured at the moment.

Liao Yuan came back to his senses, didn't speak, just started to play silently.

This piece of music is called "Where -are- you".

If the heart has no place to rest, it will be a wanderer wherever it goes,
There will be no more for the rest of my life.

Everyone at the scene was quiet, and at this moment people only felt a trace of loneliness in the music.

where are you?
Who are you looking for?

You speak up, maybe we can help you.

The audience shouted desperately from the bottom of their hearts, watching Liao Yuan who played silently, felt heart-wrenching pain.

"Have you noticed? Liao Yuan's piano skills are so terrifying?"

"It can actually affect our emotions!"

"God, Chopin's life is nothing more than that?"

"When did he become so proficient at the piano?"

Many audience members who are proficient in music tones, as well as many well-known singers and performers lurking in the corner, witnessed Liao Yuan's piano skills at the moment, and all of them were shocked.

They just came to listen to the music, but they didn't expect Liao Yuan to show off his heaven-defying piano skills in the concert.

This kind of piano skills is absolutely second to none in Asia and even in the world.

However, in the past, no one would have noticed Liao Yuan's piano skills.

What has he been through?
However, at this moment, no one can explain the doubts in their hearts.

on the stage.

At the end of the song, Liao Yuan silently looked at his hands and those beautiful keys.

This feeling is so familiar.

Was that really a dream?
Liao Yuan thought, his eyes gradually brightened.

He thought of the course of this life again, and thought of his death and resurrection one after another.

Maybe, for me, death is not the end?

He turned his head and looked at the noisy [-] spectators.

The sea of ​​people, densely packed and countless, is so lively and lovely.

There was a sudden impulse in his heart.

The concert is over, and my mission may be over...

The next moment, Liao Yuan stood up and silently walked to the edge of the stage.

The stage is very high, at least four or five meters.

Liao Yuan took a deep breath, looked at the excited and shouting audience, and suddenly smiled.

Afterwards, he waved to the audience, then turned around, stood on the edge of the stage, with his back to everyone, and slowly fell down...

In an instant, screaming, shouting, and crying sounded one after another...

No one could have expected that at the end of the concert, Liao Yuan jumped off the stage...

A generation of film kings was completely wiped out.

That night, the whole world went crazy and people wept.

Everyone is mourning this great artist, and everyone is condemning Liao Yuan's agency, accusing them of not taking good care of the artist and not noticing that Liao Yuan has depression tendencies.

It is asserted that the last kidnapping incident may be the biggest boosting factor that helped Liao Yuan end his life completely.

……

In the darkness, consciousness constantly drifts.

Liao Yuan's mind was in a foggy state, he couldn't take the initiative to think, he could only drift to the depths of the darkness with some kind of wind.

suddenly.

Ding!
There was a crisp sound.

Then, he seemed to hear the sound of some kind of object spinning...

Liao Yuan regained consciousness completely.

He opened his eyes suddenly, and the sudden light made him squint his eyes involuntarily.

Then, when he got used to the light, he could see things around him clearly.

On the shooting site of "Inception", everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

At this moment, the financial tycoon Saito played by Hong Kong actor Tan Jie is looking at Liao Yuan in surprise.

Not far away, Fu Yuntao, the assistant director, poked his head out and looked at the motionless Liao Yuan suspiciously.

And on the dining table, the spinning top was still spinning.

Liao Yuan froze, his eyes fixed on the spinning top.

Soon, the remaining power of the spinning top faded away, and it fell onto the table.

Liao Yuan's eyes showed a strange look, he stood up abruptly, ignored the astonishment and astonishment of the people around him, ran outside the set, looked at Lin Weiyin who was standing in front of the director's chair observing the camera, he paused for a moment, and then walked forward , hugging Lin Weiyin tightly.

Sensitively aware of something, Lin Weiyin asked softly under the eyes of everyone: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Liao Yuan didn't answer, his slightly moist eyes helped Lin Weiyin to tidy up the hair on his temples, and then quickly ran outside the set.

"elder brother!"

Liao Meiyun also ran out. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help but screamed.

Liao Yuan turned his head and looked at Liao Meiyun, "Wait for me to come back."

The next moment, he drove the car, stepped on the accelerator frantically, and arrived at the hospital in his memory at the fastest speed.

When he pushed open the door of the ward in his memory, he saw Fu Xiaoci lying on the bed with his buttocks up, humming and humming, doing rehabilitation training.

She is so alive and cute...

He stared blankly, and suddenly laughed out loud...

……

All premeditated dharmas are like dream bubbles.

If dew is like electricity, it should be viewed in this way.
