The sky was slightly bright.

In the toilet of a modest share house.

Li Dongdong, who was squatting in the pit, said in his mouth.

"Art, which means using images to reflect reality, but has a typical social ideology than reality!"

"These include painting, sculpture, architecture, music, literature, theatre, and so on, and he is an important complementary method of language. It's like when we speak, we use loud to represent anger, laughter to represent happiness, and dancing to represent anxiety......"

Suddenly, someone was knocking on the toilet outside and shouting dissatisfiedly, "Hurry up!"

"It's just, don't be so sacred!"

Flutter!

The rat who was brushing his teeth couldn't help but smile, and the foam in his mouth burst out.

Then came the sound of toilet flushing.

An ordinary-looking boy in his twenties walked out of the toilet with a grin, and Li Dongdong replied while lifting his pants: "Brew feelings, learn and improve yourself!"

"Learning is a fart, running a trick can't talk about acting skills, it's not muddy plasma sticking to the body!" is complaining about the boss of the dormitory, and the oldest of the people who share the house, named Pang Zeng.

Everyone also looked up and smiled, and the mouse who was brushing their teeth quipped: "Brother Zeng is still experienced, by the way, Brother Zeng, you taught me the posture of being shot and falling to the ground last time!"

"I was shot in three of today's shows, and I couldn't eat a boxed lunch. ”

Pang Zeng, who entered the bathroom, smiled very reasonably: "That must, let me tell you that the director hates the most is the kind of pretentious and deliberately stealing the scene." ”

"Some fools think that if they perform for a while, they will be watched, but they are kicked away. ”

"How can people have the heart to waste time with your passerby, and the camera switch is just that moment. ”

This is a small three-bedroom house near Hengdian.

Almost all of the people who live here are extras with the dream of being actors, looking forward to one day being able to get ahead and meet a noble person to be favored by the director or something.

Since then, he has changed his fate and signed a contract with the company to become an artist and actor.

The two manuscripts that stand out at the head of the bed are "The Self-cultivation of Actors" and "On the Linguistics of Expressions".

These are the two books that Li Dongdong reads day and night.

Moreover, these two books are still manuscripts that he went to the library to copy, in his words, that is, the family is poor and has no way to read books, and every time he borrows them from the house of the book collection, he writes them down by hand and returns them every day.

Li Dongdong, a child from a remote mountainous area.

At the age of sixteen, he left his hometown to wander alone, and later heard that there was a lot of demand for actors in Hengdian, so he embarked on this road.

From ignorance and stumbling at the beginning, today is the fifth year.

At the age of twenty-one, he has been polished in society for a long time, and he has long since faded away from his youth, and what remains is a sense of maturity beyond his peers.

And the only thing that has remained constant over the years is his belief that hard work will pay off.

Other than that, everyone else has changed.

With the passage of time, everyone has become despair and resigned to fate.

seems to know that this road will never come out, at most it is to run more airport tricks, and if you are lucky to be looked down upon by the crew, you can earn 10,000 yuan a month.

But Li Dongdong feels that the reason why everyone stays at the bottom is not just because they have no connections.

It is true that he has not received professional actor training, and he is seriously lacking from theoretical knowledge to practical experience.

"You're a trickster in the play, though. ”

"But usually you have to take yourself as the protagonist to hone and practice your acting skills, otherwise you have been running for a hundred years, and the so-called experience you have accumulated is just a trick experience. ”

"If you are given a role, you can't play it well. ”

"Even if you meet the director and crew to give you a chance, it's in vain, because you don't know anything but tricks. ”

This is Li Dongdong's exact words.

For this matter, he also argued with the boss, that is, Brother Zeng, for several nights, debating what factors are needed to become a good actor.

A good background, a wealthy family?

Have connections or rely on means to get to the top?

Or is it the acting skills that can't be seen or touched?

Brother Zeng means that in the years he has been playing tricks, he has seen people who have been lucky because of shit, and they have come out of the way.

I have also seen rich people directly throw money, ask the role to take the role, and finally become famous.

There are also all kinds of good-looking ones with natural advantages, which will be picked up by the crew.

And mediocre like them, unless there is a miracle, it is impossible to survive, let alone become popular.

If you can't keep going, go back to your hometown!

So every time Li Dongdong rehearses his role in the rental house and imitates the actors in the TV series to recite his lines, he will be ridiculed by Brother Zeng.

Of course, after all, they have all lived under the same roof for two or three years.

Everyone is used to this, as if if Brother Zeng didn't say a few words that day, he wouldn't be used to it.

……

After Li Dongdong finished freshening up, he sat cross-legged on a chair in the living room, listening to songs with headphones on.

Suddenly, a new song with a strange melody that is extremely in line with my preferences appeared, and when I clicked on it, it seemed to be called "The Girl of Four Pieces and Five".

Because I found that this song, whether it is the lyrics or the timbre of the singer, it is my favorite genre.

Li Dongdong clicked on the interface of this singer named Cao Zhibin very easily, but was extremely surprised to find that there was only this song in it.

He was a little regretful, and finally found a singer he liked very much, thinking that he could find several good songs, and maybe he could cycle the single for a whole week.

In the end, I could only withdraw in disappointment.

However, when he opened the comment section of the song.

"After nine years of drifting north, you finally succeeded, Brother Cao, proud of you!" This comment was topped with the first place.

The reason is that this is the only one in which the singer himself replied to the message.

At the bottom is the singer Cao Zhibin himself replied: "Thank you, I thought I would give up this road, but I didn't expect someone to pull me on the edge of the cliff, I'm really lucky." ”

"In the end, I also learned a very profound truth, that is, not all hard work will pay off, but if you want to succeed, please do your best to persevere until the end!"

In addition to this time, there are many interesting sentences and contents in the comment comment area.

Li Dongdong was very surprised to find that the messages at the bottom seemed to mention a fortune teller named "Master Li".

It turned out that this newly debuted singer was originally a wandering singer from the north, and he has been singing in bars and on the streets, and he is not appreciated by others.

After wandering for nearly ten years, he finally lost to reality.

On the verge of giving up, he met this legendary fortune teller, and with the help and support of the other party, he successfully recorded his first song and embarked on the road of a singer.

To be honest, probably for most people.

There is no way to experience the meaning behind the words "North Drift left in despair for nine years".

But for Li Dongdong, he can understand, and even say that he understands very well, and can understand the complex emotions of the other party who are unwilling to give up, but lose to reality.

He has also been in Hengdian for five years, and he is not an old man here.

But it also survived batch after batch of losers.

Li Dongdong doesn't know how long he can last, next year, maybe two or three years?

One day, I will succumb to the cruel society and give up this ethereal path as an actor.

Li Dongdong's eyes were slightly moist, and he said with deep feeling: "It's so good!"

With that, he swallowed a mouthful of water and wiped his eyes as if they were in sand.

He tried to tell himself that you could do it if you gave up on yourself.

So who can save you?
