Hengdian, a place of disillusionment.

To put it bluntly, there are as many people who come here with dreams as there are who end up leaving with depression.

There are always some people who have persisted for a few years or even 1o years, and even more, they have been stationed here since Hengdian Film and Television began to take shape.

"Teacher Li, this is Lao Dong," Song Meili pointed to Lao Dong, who was eating noodles in a noodle restaurant, "Lao Dong is 5o years old this year, and he is still waiting for an opportunity here." ”

"5o? is so exaggerated?" Gao Yuanyuan was surprised.

"Well, isn't it a little stunned?" Song Meili smiled, "Of course, most people don't last a few years before returning to their hometown." ”

"I was disheartened and went home naturally. Gao Yuanyuan said.

"It's not necessarily disheartened," Song Meili sighed, "Girls, we can't stand the pressure at home, we can put 1o years of youth here, but when we are twenty-seven or eighty years old, don't we go home to get married and have children?"

If we don't become famous, we won't be able to get married. ”

Li Li pointed inside, "Let's go eat a bowl of noodles!"

Song Meili was stunned, "This ...... This restaurant?"

"What's wrong?"

"It doesn't match your identity!"

"Anything that doesn't match the identity is a false name. Li Li said, walked into the restaurant with his feet, and sat down opposite the 5o year old man. ”

Song Meili smiled: "I can afford to spend here, I invite you." The consumption level here in Hengdian is not high, this kind of noodle restaurant, a bowl of noodles is only five or six yuan, and the taste is not bad. ”

Li Li asked the elder softly, "Hello, can you disturb me?"

The elder was stunned, "You say." ”

Li Li took off his glasses, "I'm Li Li." ”

"Li Li, is that very awesome Li Li?"

"Uh...... It's barely okay. ”

The elder was overjoyed: "Are you looking for me to film?"

"......" Li Li was slightly silent, "I'm quite curious about your experience, I heard that you have been drifting for the longest time?"

The elder's eyes dimmed, "I am the first batch of horizontal drifting, and I have insisted directly until now, and now I have been drifting horizontally for more than 2o years. ”

"That'...... What roles have you played?"

"Soldiers, eunuchs, dead bodies...... In short, I have performed all the group performances you can think of. ”

"What's the biggest role?" asked Gao Yuanyuan curiously.

"The biggest role is the crown prince. ”

Gao Yuanyuan was surprised: "Wow! Then you are also a corner!"

"What kind of role, playing the prince of a small country, coming to the Tang Dynasty to worship, there was a line at that time, what kind of prince I am, I have long forgotten. ”

"You...... Will your income support you?"

The elder smiled: "It's always enough to save money." ”

"Do you have children?"

The elder smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Neither does the daughter-in-law." ”

Li Li asked: "There has been no turnaround for more than 2o years, what is your motivation to continue to persevere?"

"I want to be a big actor!"

"But your age ......"

"Do you know the founder of Thirteen Incense, who only started his business at the age of 6o, and I am still young compared to him. ”

“…… Have you ever thought about what if you don't succeed?"

"Why have you not been successful? Life needs accumulation, and I feel like my opportunity is coming soon. ”

……

"Mr. Li, your face has arrived. The waiter put a bowl of noodles in Li Li's hand.

Li Li asked, "There are always celebrities in your store, right?"

The waiter shrugged, "This kind of noodles in a small shop, celebrities are interested? They like to eat barbecue or hot pot." ”

After chatting with the elder for a few more words, Li Li got up and walked out of the restaurant, and the group continued to shop around Hengdian.

Song Meili acts as a tour guide for everyone, "Hengdian is actually too small, but because of the positioning of Oriental Hollywood, it is too big. There are always all kinds of celebrities here, and if you look at that RV, you don't know which star it is. ”

Gao Yuanyuan asked suspiciously, "Can you get the play every day?"

"No, sometimes I can't get a play for two or three days. ”

"If you follow the minimum standard of 4o a day, even if there is filming every day, it will only be about 12oo, and this money can't support you! ”

"Actually, 1ooo yuan is barely enough, and, look at them," Song Meili pointed to the stall vendors, "There are some group performances, filming when there is a drama, and when there is no drama, they do a little business to make a living." ”

"Why bother!" Gao Yuanyuan sighed.

Song Meili said with a smile: "When you are young, if you don't fight for your dreams, you will definitely regret it in your old age." Do you think it's wrong for a person to pursue his dreams?"

Li Li said: "I like people who pursue their dreams, but the process of chasing dreams is a process of digging deep into their own potential, and I rarely see people who tap their potential in Hengdian."

It seems that every group performer in Hengdian is waiting and looking for opportunities, but there are few people who are desperately trying to improve their core competitiveness. ”

Song Meili sighed, "Among the Hengpiao clan, there are bricklayers, cooks, farmers, hawkers, and even fugitives, and there are too many people, although some people want to improve themselves, they can't understand the content of the books."

It's my bedroom in front, so let's go upstairs. ”

Song Meili lives in an old building whose walls have even been obviously cracked, and there is no light on the dim staircase, and the group came to the 6th floor, and when Song Meili opened the door, the group was stupid.

Dirty, messy, poor, trendy...... All the words related to the poor living environment can basically be used in this two-bedroom apartment.

Two bedrooms and one living room, but all the places in this house that can put bunk beds are all piled up with beds, and half a meter away from the bathroom, there is also an iron bed with bunk beds.

Song Meili patted the bottom bunk of this bed, "This is my bed." ”

"Wow, how many people live in your two bedrooms?" Gao Yuanyuan frowned, "How long have you not mopped the floor?" ”

Some of the girls on the beds are eating snacks, some are reading scripts, and some are talking on the phone to hook up with little boys.

Some of them were wearing pajamas, and some were hiding in the quilt with their smooth shoulders exposed, probably naked, and at this time their attention was instantly focused on Li Li: I finally saw a man!

"Hi, handsome guy!"

"Where is the handsome guy!"

"Leave a phone call!"

"Xiaoli, is this your friend or your boyfriend?"

Song Meili said: "I wish he was my boyfriend, but I can't afford to climb the key." This is Mr. Li!"

Li Li pulled down his mask and sunglasses, "Hello everyone, I'm Li Li." ”

Wow!

The dormitory exploded for a while, and everyone got up and got out of bed:

"Hello Mr. Li!"

"As long as you are in the actor industry, who doesn't know your teacher Li's name!"

"Mr. Li, I'm your Tie Zhong's brainless fan! Look up, I posted your photo on the roof of the shed. ”

As soon as Li Li raised his head, he heard an "ah" sound. Following the solidarity look, I saw a white and slender naked figure shrunk into the quilt.

The girls laughed, the girl was so excited that she forgot that she was not wearing underwear.

The girl blushed and got dressed in the bed, Li Li said embarrassedly: "Then let's go out first, the sisters don't pack up properly, and then I'll come in again." ”

The girls said:

"It's okay, it's okay!"

"Hey, we don't mind!"

"Just be responsible for us, haha!"

……

Li Li finally knew the horror of his daughter's country! It was impossible for him to get out of this room, because he was already surrounded by a large number of girls at this time.

When the sisters in the two bedrooms heard that Li Li was coming, they all rushed out, and the door was already blocked.

Gao Yuanyuan hid aside and didn't say anything, and watched the changes with a sad heart: Let you assign me a mentally ill role, I deserve it! The rule of law society has saved you kid, otherwise, will these girls use force on you?

Li Li asked, "Are the girls drifting sideways?"

Girls: "Yes!"

An aunt: "Yes!"

"Wow!" Li Li exclaimed, and looked at the floor that couldn't see its true color, some girls really only cared about their own cleanliness, Li Li said again: "Your living environment is really a little too bad, and the bed is fragrant." ”

"Just boil it out. ”

"Mr. Li, can I ask you a question?"

Li Li said: "Of course you can!"

"Actress, does it have to be beautiful?"

Li Li said: "Who said that an actress must be beautiful? Don't be misled. The female number one should be beautiful, this is a problem of perception of a drama, but other characters may not need beautiful faces.

There is only one heroine in a play, and there are many supporting actresses, so everyone's eyes should not be staring at the heroine. ”

"Mr. Li, in "The King of New Comedy", the heroine is not beautiful!"

Li Li said with a smile: "So, to a certain extent, it affects the perception, according to our investigation, some viewers retreated directly after seeing the heroine."

Frankly speaking, appearance is really important!

This has been true throughout the ages. In fact, modern society is still very good, and ancient times had extremely high requirements for appearance. ”

The dressed girl asked, "Is it? Didn't the ancient times require loyalty and filial piety, and also required appearance?"

"Of course!" Li Li pulled a chair and sat down, "For example, in the Tang Dynasty, it was stipulated that after scholars passed the imperial examination, they had to go through the selection and review of the officials, and the review content was divided into four items: body, speech, writing, and judgment. The "body" in the first place is the image problem. After decades of hard work and hard study, he finally won the title of the gold list in the imperial examination with a very low acceptance rate, but because he looked a little stumbling, he did not have an official position, do you say that he is cruel? However, the Tang Dynasty also produced an avatar prime minister like Lu Qi. ”

"Prime Minister Avatar?!"

"What is the Prime Minister of Avatar?"

Li Li smiled: "Half of his face is blue, and he is extremely ugly.

In the history of our country, people's appearance is closely related to their careers.

According to the "Qing Dynasty Archives and Historical Materials", Yongzheng has a hobby of scoring the appearance of officials, such as the comment to Mi Shiming, the Tongzhi of Taiyuan Mansion, is "black and red-faced, fat, good-looking, middle-to-upper". This kind of feeling, like the boys in junior high school grading girls behind their backs? And his comment to Zhu Shuquan, the director of the Jiangnan Division of the Ministry of Households, was that "the appearance is slightly cold, and I am afraid that the amount of blessing will not be enough."

Perhaps under the influence of his father, Qianlong was also a full VIp member of the Appearance Association, and a very important reason why He Shen was valued by Qianlong was that He Shen was handsome, and he was known as "the first beautiful man in Manchuria" at that time. ”

A girl said, "Teacher Li, isn't He Shen an ugly fat man?"

Li Li said: "Wrong, it was filmed blindly in the TV series, but in fact, the ugly fat man is Ji Xiaolan." For He Shen's appearance, there are clouds in the history books: like a celestial man. Moreover, the characters of He Shen are also very beautiful, and the emperor likes them even more.

Just talked about Qianlong, in the seventeenth year of Qianlong, the imperial court stipulated that those who failed to pass the Jinshi examination should be selected by the officials according to their appearance, the first class is used for the county, and the second class is used for teaching. It is held once every six years, saying that it is to make the scholars who are born in the country have a wider way out, but in fact, it is to judge people by their appearance, and it is also called "big challenge".

Therefore, it is said that this is an era of looking at faces, but it is wrong, it has always been about looking at faces! It has never changed, the only thing that has changed is everyone's aesthetics!"

"Teacher Li, that is to say, don't look at me as fat now, but if I travel to the Tang Dynasty, I will be Yang Guifei?!" a fat girl was quite excited.

“…… We are still a good era, at least in most fields, appearance will not hinder everyone's exhibition. ”

"Mr. Li, can I ask you a technical question?"

"Of course. ”

"Excuse me, is it advisable for our actresses to have plastic surgery for the sake of their careers?"

"Uh...... Who else has technical questions. ”

"Me!" said one girl with a raised hand, "how do you become a good actor quickly?"

Li Li sighed: "There are no shortcuts. ”

"Then you ......"

Li Li said: "Why don't you compare yourself with good people?"

The women laughed.

"Mr. Li, I also have a technical question, which is about film and television dramas. ”

"You say. ”

"In "The Legend of Wu Meiniang", the breasts are all cut off. What I want to ask is, was the Tang Dynasty really that open?"

Li Li said: "We were very open in ancient times, as for breast loss, uh...... The clothing of women in the Tang Dynasty had a process of change.

There are three types of women's clothing in the Tang Dynasty: skirt dress, Hu costume and women's men's clothing, and the skirt dress refers to the clothing seen in TV dramas.

The sexy skirt is actually slightly sexy from the Tang Gaozong period, but it is only superficial. It's 'dragging the skirt to the neck, gradually revealing it'.

Since Wu Zetian came to power, it has really become popular to wear shirtless clothes. In the Yang Guifei period, large-sleeved breastless skirts became popular, and the sexiness exploded. Moreover, this kind of skirt fabric with a low neckline is generally leno fabric, that is, only light gauze covers the body, and everyone makes up for this degree of transparency. That's why wearing this kind of clothing often leads to the phenomenon of walking away!"

"Wow!" exclaimed one of the girls.

"What are you wow?" Li Li smiled and said, "Even, Tang Wenzong scolded his daughter Princess Yanan because she was gone.

There are also many descriptions of this large-scale costume in Tang poems, such as Fang Gan's 'dancing sleeves hovering low and real butterflies, and red lips deep and shallow fake cherries. The pink chest half-conceals the suspicion of Qingxue, and the drunken eyes slanted back to the small sample knife. ’

Wen Tingjun's "Snow Chest Luan Mirror", Li Qunyu's "Oblique Reflection of the Snow Lamp on the Chest", and "Light Red Shirt Covering Crisp Chest" in "Cloud Ballad Collection" and so on, have all recorded this kind of clothing.

Eh, why are you so excited, you're all women, interested in these?!"

"Teacher Li, we are interested in you!"

"Mr. Li, why do you study women's underwear so thoroughly?"

"So you're a carnivore, too!"

"Mr. Li, after talking about underwear, let's talk about underwear!"

Li Li: "......"

Li Li chatted with everyone and looked at the environment of the house.

A girl hung a photo of Yang Mi at the head of the bed, with a line written underneath: The day you can't do it, it will be the mother's world!

There is also a book "Film and Television Literature Course" on the girl's bedside.

Seeing this, Li Li asked, "Can I take a look?"

"Of course!"

Li Li flipped through it casually, the first 1o pages of the book were densely packed with notes, and the further back they went, the cleaner they became, and after 3o pages, the other 2oo pages were as new as ever.

The girl said embarrassedly: "Teacher Li, you are smiling, three minutes of heat." ”

Li Li put down the book and said, "You don't need to read this book, it's of little value." ”

Xia Xue came to Li Li's ear at this time and said, "Xiaoli, our flight is set, we have to hurry up and take the car to the airport." ”

Li Li asked, "The Heng Piao invited to the stage are all done?"

"That's it. Xia Xue picked up the notebook, "Sisters, I have 5 last opportunities left here to express my heart in the finals, who is interested?!"

Wow!

Xia Xue was almost pushed down.
