Chapter 55: Adolescence
Everyone has fantasies about some things during adolescence. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 It is often said that dreams are the driving force that drives human society forward.
The dream here may be a vision of the future, or it may be a fantasy of the opposite sex.
For example, some girls or boys always secretly fantasize about whether the person they love will suddenly confess to themselves one day and live a happy life.
It's just that beautiful dreams are illusory after all, with the growth of age and the destruction of reality, when all kinds of people disappear around them, and the ups and downs of life make themselves grow, maybe at that time, we will really grow up.
In the same way, Shao Shuai had a strong interest in being an actor before, and he felt that he could go to film school, even if he couldn't become a top star because of his appearance, but at least he could show his face on the big screen or small screen.
But today's experience as an extras is really too hard, and it also makes him feel like he is retreating from the depths of his heart.
Zhang Ye didn't know this, but Duan Xu saw it.
"Being a star is never easy. Shao Shuai and Duan Xu took the bus home together, and on the bus, Duan Xu suddenly said to Shao Shuai.
Shao Shuai was stunned for a moment, Zhang Ye took another bus and left because the direction of his home was opposite to the two of them, and he and Duan Xu were on the way.
"Are you ......" Shao Shuai looked at Duan Xu and couldn't help but ask.
He was surprised, he didn't expect Duan Xu to actually see what he was thinking in his heart.
Since he was a child, he really likes to be an actor, he likes the feeling of standing on the stage to perform, and he likes to be noticed by thousands of people, but he really didn't expect that being an actor would be so hard.
Duan Xu smiled, after all, compared with his peers around him, he was more mature, and naturally he could also feel Shao Shuai's psychology at this moment.
"You made forty dollars today, and I made a hundred. Duan Xu's voice sounded slowly, very calmly, and with a hint of calmness beyond his peers: "What is the price, you and I both know." ”
"It's just a group performance, you and Zhang Ye lay on the ground for hours in winter, and I stood in the living room like a wooden stake for a few hours, and that's the price we paid. ”
"Think about it, those real stars, what kind of price do they have to pay to be loved and cheered by everyone?"
Duan Xu's words, like the morning bell Da Lu, knocked Shao Shuai's heart down and down, making him realize that many things in this world were not as simple as he imagined.
"There is no such thing as a free lunch. Duan Xu saw that Shao Shuai didn't speak, knowing that he was already seriously thinking about what he said, so he simply continued to speak: "You are good, I am good, we are all ordinary people, ordinary people want to succeed, then they must pay the corresponding price, as long as you really like this profession, then go and work hard for it." Because if hard work may not lead to success, then it is true that no effort will definitely not succeed. ”
Hearing Duan Xu's words, Shao Shuai was stunned, and then his eyes became sharp, he understood what Duan Xu meant.
Duan Xu laughed, and was very happy to see Shao Shuai, who left because of the arrival of the bus.
Shao Shuai and himself are friends, and Duan Xu hopes that each of his friends can find their own happiness.
When he returned home and handed his mother the hundred yuan he earned today, Duan Xu said to Sun Shuxia: "Mom, this is my salary today." ”
Sun Shuxia was slightly stunned, took the hundred yuan, and said to Duan Xu in surprise: "Didn't you say that extras can't make much money?"
Although she is a housewife, she is not a fool, if she makes so much money doing a group performance, how can anyone still work, everyone will go to be a group performer.
Duan Xu smiled, told the story of the incident, and finally said: "I got a few lines, so I gave so much, otherwise it would be just a few dozen yuan." ”
Sun Shuxia nodded: "Okay, I'll save this money for you, and when you go to college, your tuition." ”
Duan Xu smiled and shook his head: "No, you just keep the flowers, I will definitely be able to make a lot of money in the future." ”
At this time, Liu Shiyu pushed the door and walked in, she took the final exam today, it seemed that she did well, with a happy expression, when she saw Duan Xu and her mother, she said with a smile: "Mom, brother, I'm back." ”
Sun Shuxia glared at her: "The eldest girl's family is crazy all day long, and she doesn't do anything right." ”
Liu Shiyu stuck out her tongue and approached Duan Xu with a smile: "Brother, how do you feel about being an actor on the first day?"
Duan Xu ignored this girl, stretched out his hand and tapped lightly on her head: "What do you care about so much, give me a good study!"
Because of the final tragic fate in her previous life, Duan Xu didn't like her sister's contact with the entertainment industry very much, so even if she was curious about the profession of an actor, Duan Xu wouldn't say anything to her.
Liu Shiyu couldn't get the answer she wanted, and she looked aggrieved, but her brother and mother didn't care about her, so she had to go back to her room to study honestly.
After dinner, when Liu Shiyu came to Duan Xu again to ask this question, Duan Xu sighed softly and said to Liu Shiyu seriously: "Little sister, I ask you to study hard, not because I want you to compare your grades with others, but because I hope that you will have the right to choose in the future, choose meaningful and time-bound work, instead of being forced to make a living." When your work has meaning in your heart, you have a sense of accomplishment. When your work gives you time and does not deprive you of life, you have dignity. A sense of accomplishment and dignity will bring you happiness, and that's why you're working hard right now. ”
Liu Shiyu was stunned, she didn't expect Duan Xu to say such a thing to herself.
Duan Xu smiled slightly and gently rubbed Liu Shiyu's head: "Silly girl, no matter what kind of life you like, my brother will support you, but there is a premise for all this, you have to study hard, be admitted to a good university, and have an enviable academic degree, so that no matter what you want to do, there is a way out." ”
"Brother......" Liu Shiyu didn't say anything for a long time, she really didn't expect that her brother would say such a thing to herself.
Duan Xu sighed, for such a long time, how could he not see that his sister really likes the entertainment industry.
There are some things that are better to be blocked, and it is better to get vaccinated in advance than to keep her from touching them.
