Chapter 179: Group Portraits, Corpses and Brothers
In Hengdian, there are many, many young people like Bai Qiu who come and go every day. When you come, you only have enough money for a train ticket, and when you go, you only have enough money for a train ticket, the only difference is how many years older, or you can bring two better clothes back to your hometown.
When Qiu stepped on the train back in the daytime, he was already gone, and he was not afraid of the sky when he came - just like Wang Xiaobo said, he felt that he couldn't hammer his temperament with anything.
Maybe it's maturity, or maybe it's recognizing your own mediocrity, being disappointed in the future, and understanding that you can only be a corpse forever, lying silently behind the protagonist with blood on your body, making a silent background - even this corpse has real love and desire.
During the day, Qiu smiled bitterly, and couldn't help but look back on his life experience so far.
He was born into a rural family in the mountains of Thousand Rivers province. Although remote, the news is not closed. His parents were very down-to-earth and hardworking, and when he was very young, the family had the first television set in the village. Every day when he has free time, he hugs that TV and watches.
During the day, I love to watch movies. TV, old-fashioned VCDs are all channels for him to watch movies.
All the children in the family except him were women. In a rural family, he can be said to be "loved by thousands of people". He has been the child king of the village since he was a child, and he likes to command children of the same age to do this and that. At that time, his greatest pleasure was to play the characters in the movie, a group of little boys played a supporting role for him, he either played a martial arts master or a general.
Bai Qiu is simply obsessed with this. In order to satisfy this hobby, in addition to acting, he also used the carpenter tools at home to make a lot of props for himself, such as the knife of the middle hero, the Wang Ba box of the Eighth Route Army, and the long tassel gun of the Yang general......
He feels like he was born to be the protagonist.
Until you actually set foot on the train in Hengdian. That year, Bai Qiu was 19 years old.
With a vision for the future, Bai Qiu joined the torrent of group performances. He clearly remembered that afternoon, when he came to Hengdian for the first time, under the leadership of a master, he went to the area of Shili Street and lived in a single room, only more than 200 yuan a month. There is no air conditioning, so an old-fashioned ceiling fan is hung on the ceiling, and 11 households on the first floor share a bathroom. At that time, he wrote crookedly on the newspaper wall next to his bed: "I was born to be the protagonist!"
Then, Bai Qiu played the corpse for four years.
At first, it was for a dream, then for a living, and finally for a day, I didn't know why I wanted to stay.
Time had finally numbed him, gradually turning from a fake corpse into a real corpse.
Once, he played a soldier, but because his clothes were too tight, he fell behind when he ran, which dragged down the progress of the whole crew, and was scolded by the director. Later, the on-site producer invited everyone to drink cold drinks, but he hesitated for a moment and was embarrassed to go over and get it. The weather was so hot that day, and the sweat was dripping down, but the heroine couldn't stand it anymore and took him a bottle and sent it to him. At that moment, he wanted to cry, and then he really cried. The emotions that had been building up for four years completely collapsed at that moment.
Bai Qiu finally boarded the train home.
Sitting on the train, Qiu still habitually turned on his mobile phone during the day, and he added a few "circle groups", which would release recruitment notices for some crews from time to time.
In the past four years, he has been hating corpses during the day, and patiently studying some performance works at night, contacting in front of the mirror. Often in the dim light, he can be heard reciting the lines that the protagonist deserves to read over and over again......
Thinking of those pictures, Bai Qiu's heart was really unwilling......
Suddenly, Bai Bai Qiu saw a character, about 25 years old, a young man from the countryside...... He patiently read the character description, his breathing gradually became rapid, and then looked at the audition location, Tokai City...... For a moment he hesitated again.
If you fail to audition this time, you won't even have the money for a ticket home.
Suddenly, Bai Bai Qiu wanted to cry again.
An uncle next to him asked strangely, "Young man, what's wrong with you?
Bai Qiu was silent for a long time and nodded lightly.
"Where's the loss?
Bai Qiu stood up, his gaze had become firm. He silently said in his heart, I lost my dream. This time, I'm going to try again!
"Huh, boy, where are you going?"
Bai Bai Qiu had already left his seat, got off the train, and walked towards the refund window.
......
"37 in total!"
"Why is it so expensive? Are you going around me?"
"The conscience of heaven and earth! I said at the beginning that I would not accept your business, there is a lot of traffic jam on the road, you have to do it, it is too expensive at this time, I am not wronged!"
"Forget it, just when I'm unlucky, where is the QR code?"
"Drip-smack!"
"Di" is the sound of scanning the QR code, and "pop" is the sound of closing the door. Hairunfa took out his mobile phone, and it was not until the collection information came that he breathed a sigh of relief, clicked the fuel door and drove around......
Hai Yun-fat is a brother, his name is one word different from Chow Yun-fat, but he has a completely different fate from Chow Yun-fat.
Actually, he is really an actor.
In fact, he has participated in many excellent TV series in the eighties and nineties, the most famous of which is "The Legend of the Gods", when he played an important villain. But unfortunately, that drama became popular, but he failed to become popular. His image is not good, the drama road is very narrow, when he is lucky, he can take one or two plays a year, and when he is unlucky, he can't receive a play for a year or two.
And the salary is not high, and a play is often less than 100,000. Converted, his monthly income is only a few thousand yuan.
An actor like him is the most real look of the actor group. When a play is completed, the entire crew is unemployed, and an actor like him has to find a new role and audition, but in recent years, it has become more and more difficult for him to receive the play. Mainly because of his appearance, his facial features are not good, he looks rustic, and some people once joked that he can wear the best clothes as a stall.
Over the years, he has been able to play fewer and fewer roles, and he has to run a rental in order to make a living. What's even more frustrating is that after running for so long, no passenger can recognize him as an actor.
Collect the car and go home.
At dinner, his daughter suddenly held her mobile phone and excitedly said to him: "Dad, look at this!"
Hai Yunfa glanced at it strangely, only to see a character description.
"The old village chief, about 50 years old, has a complicated personality......"
Hai Yunfa blinked and couldn't help but look at it seriously.
The daughter said excitedly: "Uncle Zhou sent it to me, I think this role is very suitable for you!"
"Uncle Zhou" is a small producer and has some channels for receiving dramas. Hai Runfa muttered silently for a long time, and when he saw that the audition location was in Donghai City, he hesitated a little.
At this time, his wife smiled and said, "If you want to go, you can go, our family is not short of this little money." ”
Hai Yunfa looked at the supportive eyes of his wife and daughter, was extremely moved, and nodded silently......
