Beijing, small Xinjiang skewers.

The barbecue restaurant is near the Cuiyuan Community, a restaurant owned by Xinjiang people, and Zhou Qiang and his cousin made an appointment here.

At about eight o'clock in the evening, there were several tables in front of the restaurant, sitting outside the restaurant in the breeze, it was more comfortable than sitting in the stuffy store, and two young men were sitting at a table on the east side of the door, it was Zhou Qiang and his cousin Zhou Jian.

Zhou Jian has a small flat head, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his appearance is somewhat similar to Zhou Qiang, but he is shorter than Zhou Qiang, not handsome, but he looks honest and honest.

"Brother Qiang, my stomach is almost hungry, why did you come here at this time. Zhou Jian rubbed his stomach, looking like he wanted to wear it.

"I'd better take a leave of absence and run out of the store early, otherwise you'd have to wait an hour if you get off work as usual. Zhou Qiang said as he picked up the menu and threw it to Zhou Jian opposite, saying:

"Hurry up, I'm in for a treat. ”

"That's pretty much it. Zhou Jian smiled, didn't look at the menu, and shouted directly: "Waiter, serve four bottles of beer first, it should be cold." ”

"Okay. A waitress came over, took a small notebook and wrote it down, and asked, "What more do you want?"

"Twenty lamb skewers, ten tendons, five chicken gizzards, two chicken wings, and a peanut edamame platter. Zhou Jian said.

"Good fellow, you kid has been hungry for a few days, and you are not afraid to hold on. Zhou Qiang said.

"Young people, you can only do what you can eat. Zhou Jian patted his chest.

"Do you need anything else, sir?" asked the waiter.

"Four more kidneys, a little more burned. Zhou Jiandao.

"Do you have a girlfriend?" asked Zhou Qiang.

"No. Zhou Jian shrugged his shoulders.

"Then why are you eating so many kidneys, just two. Zhou Qiang said.

Hearing his cousin's words, Zhou Jian was speechless, the corners of the waitress's mouth rose, she couldn't help laughing, and then ran to the barbecue to deliver the order.

"Brother, how have you been messing up lately?" Zhou Jian changed the subject.

"It's okay. ”

"What's okay, how much money can you earn a month?" Zhou Jian asked.

Zhou Qiang calculated, he opened 3 orders this month, a sales order with a commission of 40,000 yuan, a lease order with a commission of 6,000, and a lease order of 4,000 yuan two weeks ago, plus the basic salary and bonus next month, at least 55,000 yuan.

"This month's performance is good, and next month we should make five figures. Zhou Qiang said.

"Damn, it's really fake, I used to work in a restaurant, and it was only 3,000 yuan for food and accommodation, and you can earn 10,000 yuan, which is three times my salary. Zhou Jian's eyes widened, revealing a suspicious look.

"Our income is not very stable, if we have good performance, we will have a high income, if we don't have performance, I don't earn as much as you. Zhou Qiang said.

"So, it's not easy to work in the capital. Zhou Jian burst into a foul mouth, and said to the waitress not far away, "Bring the beer first, I'm thirsty." ”

"Xiao Jian, you don't work in the hotel anymore, what are you doing now?"

"Guess, what do you think I'm doing?" Zhou Jian squeezed his eyes, revealing a touch of cunning.

"Don't talk nonsense, there are so many industries in the capital, there are not thousand, but also eight hundred, I know what you are doing. Zhou Qiang scolded with a smile.

"You see, you don't have any interest in life. Zhou Jian shook his head and continued: "My job is the career I have always wanted to do, it can be said to be high-end, atmospheric, and high-grade, and it can definitely be said that it has a bright future." ”

Seeing his cousin pretending to be 13, Zhou Qiang snorted coldly: "Robbed the bank." ”

"How is it possible, am I that kind of person?" Zhou Jian stretched his neck and argued: "Besides, can robbing a bank be considered a career? I'm an actor now." ”

"What's that?" Zhou Qiang thought he had misheard.

"Actors, they are stars on TV, you know. Zhou Jian raised his chin, looking bullish.

"Heh......" Zhou Qiang smiled, shook his head and said: "You kid looks like this, you are not as handsome as me, what kind of star can you be, you have been fooled." ”

"To be a star and an actor, you don't necessarily have to be handsome, the key is to have a temperament, so that people can remember you at a glance, just like me. Zhou Jian stretched out his right hand, touched his chin, and posed in a posture that he thought was very temperamental.

"And what kind of temperament are you?"

"What kind of temperament do you think I am?" Zhou Jian unconsciously raised his chin again.

Zhou Qiang's eyes moved slightly, glanced at his cousin, stretched out a finger, and said a word under Zhou Jian's expectant gaze, saying:

"Dirt. ”

Zhou Jian's face immediately drooped, and said, "Brother, are you so shocking? I'm not soil, I'm honest, and Wang Baoqiang is the same type, understand?"

"Do you want to learn from Wang Baoqiang?"

"Yes, Wang Baoqiang is my idol, one of the most popular superstars in China, and I am chasing his footsteps. Zhou Jian looked longing.

"Wang Baoqiang's success is indeed very enviable, but China's population of more than one billion people has such a Wang Baoqiang. Zhou Qiang said earnestly.

"So what, they are all children from the countryside, he can succeed, I can too, I am now squatting at the door of the Beijing Film Studio every day, waiting for an opportunity, what is lacking is an opportunity, as long as I am given a suitable role, I will definitely be able to become popular and glorify the courtyard of our old Zhou family, when the time comes, brother, you don't want to be a real estate agent, I will promote you to be my star agent, let you follow me to eat fragrant, drink spicy, and make a lot of money, what's the matter?"

"Huh. Zhou Qiang smiled, hesitated for a long time, and then held back a few words, and said, "You think far away." ”

"People, you have to dare to think, dare to do, so that you can have a future, as long as I can become a big star, the hard work now is worth it, and when the time comes, when I look back, it will be a precious memory. Zhou Jian said longingly.

"You're the chicken soup for the soul. Zhou Qiang took a big sip of beer and shook his head.

"People live for a lifetime, and they always have to pursue something. Zhou Jiandao.

"Then how long have you been an actor and how many film and television works have you made?" asked Zhou Qiang.

"There are several, there are ancient costumes, modern, variety shows, maybe you can see me on TV one day. Zhou Jian smiled, revealing a touch of self-satisfaction.

"Do you have a line?"

"Ahem......"

Zhou Jian coughed lightly, with a little embarrassment on his face, and said: "The quality of acting skills has no inevitable relationship with the lines, the key is to get the play." ”

"I don't even have lines, I should be an extra, how much can you earn a month?" asked Zhou Qiang.

"Working for a day, giving a day's money, sometimes more, sometimes less, in general, is about the same as when you work in a restaurant. Zhou Jian showed a weak look, the money he earned may be about the same, the key is that the hotel includes food and accommodation, but when he is an extra, he pays for food and accommodation, so he can't have much money left in a month.

"You told me before that the second uncle and aunt forced you to go home, it should be because of this incident. Zhou Qiang guessed.

"It's not, they just think it's the old idea, they think that the actor industry is unreliable, they want to kill my dreams, and force me to return to my hometown, but I don't want to. Zhou Jian took a string of mutton and chewed it hard.

"Then what do you want?" asked Zhou Qiang.

"Brother, why don't you help me come up with an idea?" Zhou Jian looked at his cousin, showing a look of expectation.
