October 7th, 11:42 pm.

Qiu Ming Mountain, parking area at the top of the mountain.

The rest area on the set temporarily set up by the crew.

The foreigners of the Red Bull team are happily eating lunch boxes.

From time to time, a few sentences in English will be heard, and the tone is almost full of expectations.

"Joy, to be honest, I checked the road conditions in Qiu Ming Mountain as soon as I received the news. At that time, I thought it was a challenge that was impossible to complete, but now I think Xiao Ning, a native of the Dragon Kingdom, definitely has hope of completing it.

Challenge."

"I only knew about Xiao Ning through the Internet before I came to Longguo. I know that he is very good at free rock climbing and cycling, but as for his cycling skills, to be honest, I didn't know anything about him until just now."

"Just wait and see the good show."

While eating and talking, Qian Zhen came to the Red Bull team and walked straight to the bald John.

"Is Mr. John right?"

"My name is Qian Zhen. I am a member of the crew of this movie and a good friend of Xiao Ning. I heard from Xiao Ning that you and Red Bull will shoot a short commercial about driving with him later?"

"It's like this. I want to invite Xiao Ning to inspect a foot bath project later and explore the mysteries of nature, so I want to ask..."

"How long will it take for you to film?"

After Qian Zhen announced his intention in fluent spoken English, John put down the disposable spoon in his hand.

Advertising video?

Indeed.

The reason why Red Bull sponsors this type of extreme challenge is to release the video later to build its own brand image and promotion.

Although the concept is slightly different from ordinary commercials, if you insist on speaking, this extreme challenge can indeed be called a commercial.

He looked at Qian Zhen in a daze, then looked at the other foreigners around him who were a little confused at this time, then looked at Qian Zhen again, and told Qian Zhen everything about the extreme challenge.

Then Qian Zhen’s brain froze.

Qian Zhen, whose mind went blank after being stunned for a long time, finally came to his senses. He didn't even bother to say "thank you" and ran to Xiao Ning, who had almost finished unpacking his lunch box.

"Junior Brother Xiao!"

"You!"

"Don't do this!"

"Brother, I'm scared!"

Qian Zhen, who looked frightened at this time, was almost scared to cry.

"If you make commercials, just make commercials!"

"No one can shoot this kind of commercial film!"

"They told me that they want you to go down from the top of Qiu Ming Mountain and maintain an average speed of more than 100 kilometers the whole way!"

"Before the Devil's Corner, you have to enter the corner at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour! Isn't this ridiculous!"

"They even ask you to speed up to over 280 kilometers on the tunnel section!"

"This is totally a way to die!"

"What the hell is this called a commercial?"

When Qian Zhen said this, his tone became more urgent, and his hand even grabbed Xiao Ning's shoulder.

“I know there’s a saying that Red Bull pays you but you pay with your life!”

"But!"

"Junior brother Xiao! Tell senior brother!"

"How much did they pay you?"

"Push this commercial!"

"Are you short of money now? How much money do you want, senior brother, I will lend it to you! Senior brother has made a lot of money in the past two years since his debut! There is no shortage of money!"

"Five million? Ten million? Twenty million?"

"You name the number! Even if senior brother is short of money for the time being, senior brother's family is still quite rich!"

"Brother, go directly to your parents for a loan!"

"I would rather kneel down for my father than let you take such a big risk!"

"You like to make money! Senior brother actually also likes to make money! But we make money just to make money!"

"We don't need to risk our lives!"

Although what Qian Zhen said sounded abstract to Xiao Ning.

But Qian Zhen's face has no acting skills at all, it's all about emotion, and his eyes are almost red with anxiety...

It’s obvious!

Senior Brother Qian is really worried!

Xiao Ning understood Qian Zhen's worries about him.

But there is something he still has to say.

"Senior Brother Qian, I don't know if John told you wrong or if you understood it wrong."

"This commercial, it's not something the people at Red Bull forced me to shoot, nor did they ask me to shoot it."

"I asked them to cooperate with me in filming."

"And I'm not challenging this for money."

Qian Zhen recalled carefully, it seems that the bald old man named John just now didn't really say that Red Bull asked Xiao Ning to do this.

After realizing this, Qian Zhen became even more panicked: "You are not doing it for money. What is the purpose of your cooperation with them?"

Xiao Ning finished the last bit of rice in the lunch box, then placed the lunch box on the small table next to him, wiped his mouth with a tissue slowly, and then looked far away towards the mountain gate at the top of Qiu Ming Mountain.

In the far distance is the night view of Jiangcheng made up of neon stars under the mountain.

"Senior Brother Qian."

"Just like I went climbing stairs or riding a bicycle before, this is just my personal hobby and there is no other reason."

Personal... hobbies.

Junior brother Xiao, we are just asking if we can like something else?

Do you like to wash feet as much as your senior brother?

Just as Qian Zhen was about to express his opinion, Xiao Ning's voice sounded.

"Extreme sports are about playing with your heartbeat and playing with your limits."

"It made me feel like I was still alive, and it also made me discover that people can actually live in such a real way, which is different from the way most people live."

When Xiao Ning said this, he looked away from the night view of Jiangcheng in the distance and looked back at Qian Zhen, who was now pale with fright.

"The most important thing is that I feel real freedom when doing these things."

"It doesn't matter whether it's speed, height, anything goes. That kind of ultimate freedom cannot be given by other things, only extreme sports can."

"The so-called ultimate freedom is to leave anyone and everything behind."

The ultimate freedom is to leave everyone and everything?

Are you sure you are not "human and worldly"?

Qian Zhen was so frightened that his mouth trembled.

"In addition to this feeling that allows me to intuitively perceive my own life, this feeling of freedom... there is actually a more important reason that supports me in doing all this."

Xiao Ning took a deep breath, and then continued calmly: "I have seen such a sentence before in a book by an author called Abstract Dog."

"A person's life is not about how many years he lives, but how many moments he lives. A person's life is fixed from birth to death. All we can do is cherish and grasp every moment leading to death."

"I never understood what this sentence meant before, but after some recent events, I gradually understood part of its meaning."

"We need to make life's moments as exciting as possible."

"We need to have some memories worth remembering, stories worth telling with others in the future."

Seeing that Xiao Ning's words had entered some kind of "philosophical" field that Qian Zhen couldn't understand at all, he really couldn't listen anymore.

Although Qian Zhen still couldn't understand why Xiao Ning risked his life to do all this.

But he knew that it was impossible for him to persuade the other party to decide something.

If he could be persuaded, he wouldn't have accompanied him to climb the Twin Towers a few days ago.

I was in "Crazy" with Xiao Ning before.
