Chapter 53: It's better to go back
53. It's better to go back
This weather is strange, although it has entered winter, but the south has not yet snowed days, tonight there is a light rain with a few grains of ice ballast, plus the blowing north wind, crackling, smashing on people is cold and painful, just like the song sings - cold ice rain on the face indiscriminately.
After the night play, Han Fei found a restaurant on the way home to shelter from the rain, and by the way, he got some food to pad his stomach, he still played the minister tonight, and finally didn't need the eunuchs and palace maids to take turns.
"Boss, a bowl of fried noodles with shredded pork, add an egg, and put more chili peppers. After Han Fei finished speaking, he found a place to sit down.
"Okay, right now. ”
There is no sun and moon in the store, it has been a thousand years in the world, and Han Fei has been doing group performances for seventeen or eighteen days, from the eagerness to try before coming, to the surging excitement after getting the actor certificate, to the indignation when sweeping the floor, and finally to the current boredom.
Although I had thought that it was very tiring to do a group performance before I came, I didn't expect to be tired like this, not physical fatigue, but mental numbness and boredom, doing group performances for half a day was waiting, and the role given was at most three lines, and none of the crew gave a reply to the resume sent out before, Han Fei felt that he might be an African, fortunately, by observing the plays of those actors, Han Fei still gained some knowledge, but he lacked an opportunity for actual combat training.
The ice particles helped the rain drip down, the north wind blew the hunting sound, and Han Fei suddenly quieted down in the hustle and bustle, put his hands in his hair, and sat on the chair in a daze.
Actually, he has always been a mentality of getting by, and after being reborn, he just wanted to go with the flow, but after the two advertisements were shot, he felt a little greedy and greedy, and he got on the thief ship.
Since the beginning of the refresher class, Han Fei seems to have been hooked up with some desires to perform, but the reality is really skinny, single-handedly, and the crew doesn't care which onion you are. Recently, I always want to play a weighty role but I can't, and I feel very aggrieved.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, the sheds outside the restaurant are slamming, the neon lights on the street reflect a strange light in the rain, the motorcycles on the street are dragging a wave away, and pedestrians are running to their residences desperately, swearing and swearing what the hell is this weather.
The boss finally brought a bowl of fried noodles, probably because there was too much soy sauce, and it was black, and it tasted good, Han Fei ate two bites and had a good appetite, plus his stomach was really a little hungry, and the noodles were gone after a few seconds.
There is now a customer of Han Fei in the store, the boss came over and sat on another chair at Han Fei's table after frying noodles, holding a glass bottle full of water in his hand, probably the rest of the orange peel Shuang after eating, and smiled: "How long has the young man been in Hengdian?"
Han Fei's mouth was stuffed full, and he said vaguely: "It's been seventeen or eighteen days." ”
The boss unscrewed the cap of the bottle, the white steaming heat came to his face, and he gently took a sip of boiling water, and the boss said, "How about it, the group performance is not good, right?"
"It's not that difficult, but I don't think it's interesting. Han Fei took another bite of noodles and replied.
The boss cocked his legs, leaned back with a slightly fat body, pouted and said, "It's okay if it's boring, what's the point of mixing those forty yuan every day, and there are not a few lines." ”
Yo, you are still a person with a story when you hear this, Han Fei stopped his chopsticks and said with a smile: "Haha, you have also done a group performance?"
Hearing this, the boss suddenly became energetic, his neck was straightened, and his right hand was waving, as if he wanted to recall the eventful years of the past: "How fresh, this Hengdian person, up to ninety-nine, down to just be able to walk, there is no one who has not played a role, that crooked Ma Jintao came to Hengdian to shoot "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang", I also made a stand-in for him, that person acted like a cannon battle, and it exploded at every turn, and the voice was very loud. ”
"Ahem. "Han Fei choked on a mouthful of noodles, what a special thing, is it such a coincidence, I just came back from the Ma Sect Master's group, and I was able to meet the Ma Sect Master's stand-in when I was looking for a home to visit and eat, it was really ape dung.
"Hey, don't believe me. ”
The boss poured a glass of water, Han Fei took a sip, finally straightened out his anger, wiped his face and replied, "I believe it." ”
The boss looked Han Fei up and down, and comforted: "Seeing that you are still young, don't waste your time in Hengdian, really, you can't get ahead." ”
Han Fei was silent, lowered his head and ate the remaining noodles on the plate, then put down his chopsticks and raised his head, and said with a smile: "When I first came here, an uncle also told me, hey, boss, do you Hengdian old-timers like to persuade people like this?"
"We, if we can persuade one to leave, those who stay will regret it sooner or later, and early regret is better than late regret. There are no more than two situations when you come here to do a group performance, one is to show your face on TV and satisfy your vanity, and the other is to become famous overnight, those who have watched "The King of Comedy" think that they will become superstars from a dragon set, stupid or not? There are only a few crews in Hengdian, why should the pie hit you?" The boss said as he cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and his expression was as if Lao Tzu advised his son not to take a detour.
In fact, this is a bit reasonable, but it is not completely reasonable, as long as you don't want to climb to the sky like Baoqiang, mix for three or four years, straighten out the personal relationship, and say hello to the crew, it is still not a big problem to mix a stable group of actors in the future, but this job is tiring, and Han Fei thinks that he can't stick to the trick of running for three or four years.
Han Fei took a picture of ten yuan and said, "Okay, boss, I remember your words, thank you for your hospitality, check out." ”
"Okay. The boss took the money, pointed to the umbrella in the corner of the wall and said, "See if you don't have an umbrella, take that umbrella, just remember to come tomorrow." ”
"That's so much appreciated. ”
"No thanks, be careful on the road. ”
Han Fei tidied up his clothes, went out with an umbrella, and whistled "The Sea and the Sky" by BEYOND:
Forgive me for my uninhibited indulgence and love of freedom in this life, and I will be afraid that one day I will fall and abandon my ideals, anyone can do it, how can I be afraid that one day only you and I will be together.
Probably because of the bad weather, the shops on the street closed early, and the usually colorful neon lights were lit up by less than a third today, and the whole street looked lifeless. Han Fei was like a child, grabbing the handle of the umbrella and turning it constantly, he hid under the umbrella and watched the raindrops fly out along the tangent of the umbrella surface in a centrifugal motion, and his mood was also happy.
Walking through the dark alleyway, Han Fei suddenly heard a quarrel coming from the building next to him, it seemed to be a man and a woman, looking at the direction should be the window on the second floor with the lights on. Han Fei stopped his steps, just in time for the boredom of the night, listen to which one was singing upstairs to relieve boredom.
The woman seemed to have a little cold, spoke in a nasal voice, and asked, "Why did you withdraw Brother Li's play?"
The man replied: "Brother Li is long and Brother Li is short, who are you?"
The woman's voice softened, and she reasoned carefully: "Seventeen scenes, filmed in five days, four hundred yuan a day, have you counted the account? A full two thousand yuan, the rent of our room is only three hundred and five, do you know the rent for half a year?"
"Money, money, what do you know besides money?" the man growled.
"Why don't you need money for food, clothing, housing, and transportation, Zhang Tong, you really don't know what to do, are you inflated after filming a small role? I'm going to find Li Gora to have a relationship with who the fuck am I for, I'm fucking cheap, woo woo woo ......" The woman cried as she spoke.
Bang, the man seemed to slap himself, and hurriedly comforted: "Don't cry, quietly, I, I, I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing, I slapped myself in a big mouth." ”
"How did you become like this, Zhang Tong, since filming, since you came back from filming that drama, you have become so ambitious, you want to be the leading actor if you don't take on a small role, how can you omit the intermediate process, just, just one step to the sky, do you think of yourself as a star?" The woman cried and sobbed, and her words were not very neat.
The man said helplessly: "I don't want to omit the process, I just don't want to go back every day, I take a step back, stand still, I'll go crazy." ”
The woman said with some hysteria: "Then you act, you are like this broken clock now, it's bad here, you can't take the play, you don't make money, you said that you will accompany me to see my parents after the New Year, how can you go to see my parents like this, how can you propose marriage? You can't make money now, you can't get married, you can't buy a house in the future, you can't raise a baby, you just do one thing every day, just don't do anything." I think that's the end of your life, if you don't move like this, you will stay in the house every day and it will be over for the rest of your life. ”
The man was silent for a few seconds, and then replied, "I'm locking myself in my room now to remind myself not to forget this state. ”
The woman became more and more excited: "I don't want this state, this state is dirty, broken and decadent, I don't want it, I want you before!
After that, the two fell into silence for a long time, Han Fei saw that there was no drama to watch, and he was so excited that he should get out, he stood stupidly for a long time, and looked at the bleak wind and cold rain, his whole body was wet and cold, and he hurried back to take a shower.
Poor couples mourn everything, the days have passed, there is no money to back, love has become sad, fairy tales have become jokes. What the woman said is very reasonable, you are a man, don't care if the job is good or not, since you said that you want to marry someone else, you are burdened with responsibility, then you have to grit your teeth; the man's excuse can actually be understood by Han Fei, it is about to play a more weighty role, and he has a taste of acting, and then let him return to play a small role is really not interested.
After watching a play, Han Fei's heart also changed a little, maybe it's time to go home, originally I just came to experience life, now I've been happy and hard, it's time to go home, and if I continue to do it, I should also fall into a mood of self-doubt and self-denial, which is really unnecessary and can't be done.
After dusting off the rain that was blown obliquely on his shoulders by the wind, Han Fei set off again, quickened his pace, and walked towards his residence, arriving home in four or five minutes.
Lao Cai came back from the crew yesterday, and he was with the crew for thirteen days, mixed with a small two thousand yuan, and he was in a good mood for the past two days, when he saw Han Fei enter the house, he asked with a smile: "Yo, it's so late to get out of the play tonight?
Han Fei took off his half-dry coat, dusted the mud off his pants, and replied, "Where is the actress, I went to have supper." By the way, I'll be ready to go home tomorrow after I'm done. ”
The lights on the ceiling shone brightly, and Lao Cai looked Han Fei up and down, making Han Fei embarrassed, and replied, "What's wrong? ”
Lao Cai was a little surprised just now, but after thinking about it for a few seconds, he understood, came back to his senses and said: "I know, I'll just say it, extras are not easy to mix, aren't you tired?"
"Alas, tired and annoying, boring, go home for the New Year, and if you don't buy a ticket, the peak of the Spring Festival will come, and then you can only stand and go home, I can't stand it. ”
"Okay, tomorrow you settle your salary, and I'll accompany you to buy tickets. ”
"Okay. ”
