57. Cold water

The aroma of the pork ribs, the diverse flavor of the mushrooms, and the smell of the seasonings are all mixed together, and the flavor of the ingredients is fresh.

Chi Chi stared at this pot of soup, and his heart was no longer excited and expectant.

Gu Xi, he may have experienced something bad and unspeakable. Watching the people close to him depressed and unable to do anything about it made Chi Chi very unpleasant.

"Oh, this soup smells good, is there minced celery? Put some minced celery and mustard, and bring me a bowl." ”

Old man Du walked in slowly, with his hands behind his back, and his request was to not regard himself as an outsider.

The girl didn't even have to open the lid of the pot, and when she smelled it, she knew that the soup was not ready.

"Wait a little bit for the soup, is celery or mountain celery for celery?

"Mountain celery is the best, the minced mustard should not be spicy, and a little sesame oil should be added to the bowl to make the hot soup more fragrant. ”

Speaking of eating, Du An's head is also the way, completely ignoring his tongue, and the actual implementation depends on Chi Chi.

Chi Chi silently went to wash the celery, and his slender fingers delicately plucked the leaves on it, and Duane looked at her movements and said with a smile:

"If you go to make a movie about being a chef now, maybe it will be very easy and the action will be in place. ”

Put a big close-up of her chopping vegetables, it will look good on camera.

The simple kitchen knife was cut into two pieces from the middle of the celery, aligned the edge of the knife, and finely chopped the celery, Chi Chi stared at the knife and said with a smile:

"Coincidentally, I picked up a film about being a cook the other day. ”

"A few days ago?" Duane was a little surprised: "You've already booked your next movie?"

"yes. Chi Chi opened the lid and skimmed off the last layer of foam.

For a while, the old man didn't understand what Chi Chi was thinking.

If she is a normal newcomer, then at least wait until her movie is finished, with the aura of "the new heroine of Duane's movie" to find resources for the next play, not to mention that she still has movies to win awards abroad, shouldn't she wait for the results to increase her competitiveness?

Or, simply take the name of being the heroine for yourself to give the brand platform, take a few endorsements, and slowly brush up on the popularity and wait for a good movie to come to the door, which is also a path that has been taken by people, Chi Chi can't wait to find the next movie, which is too rare.

Chi Chi casually washed two tomatoes, took a bite of one himself, and handed the other to Duane.

"Tomatoes or?"

The old man looked disgusted.

"Tomatoes have to be cooked before they can be eaten. ”

The girl took another bite of the tomato and replied to him with two words: "Hypocrisy." ”

"Am I hypocritical? I'm hypocritical if I don't eat raw tomatoes?" Du An's glaring at Chi Chi.

Chi Chi tilted his head and asked him, "Do you eat raw grapes?"

The implication is that you can eat grapes raw, why can't you eat tomatoes?

"Crooked. ”

After saying these two words, Du An didn't speak again, watching Chi Chi finish eating the tomatoes, wash his hands, find the dishes and chopsticks and wash them again, and then serve him a pork rib soup.

It's really a pork rib "soup", a spoonful of mixed mushrooms, two or three small ribs, and half a bowl of soup.

There is sesame oil, chopped celery and minced mustard.

Du An smacked his lips and looked at the big bowl that Chi Chi held out for himself, and he felt very uncomfortable.

"I'm here...... Just two?"

Chi Chi smiled innocently: "It's nine o'clock now, and I can still run two kilometers to digest after eating...... You ......"

Therefore, people can't be angry, can't be impulsive, and can't be ruthless just because they want to eat a few ribs.

Director Duandu complained about himself in his heart.

How many delicious things have I never eaten, how many rare ones I have never seen? I was dragged out for a few ribs and ran in the middle of the night, and I was not afraid of other people's jokes when I said it!

Of course, Chi Chi wouldn't really let the old man run with him, their speed of progress was just a walk.

"Do you think it's a good thing to be the queen of the SD Independent Film Festival?"

Duane suddenly asked Chi Chi.

"Sort of. The girl's hand skimmed over the grass on the side of the road, and the fireflies that inhabited it were alarmed, and the small green light flew slowly into the depths of the trees.

"Is it because the mosquito repellent on our bodies is sprayed too strongly? The fireflies are scared away. ”

Chi Chi asked Old Man Du.

The old man ignored her childish question, he sighed, looked into the distance and said.

"If you win the award at this time, it's better not to take it, it's embarrassing. ”

Winning awards for literary films is not a good thing for newcomers.

It's not so terrible to be classified or stereotyped after becoming famous, as long as you are willing to put your mind to it, there will always be a time when the transformation will be successful, and I'm afraid that this little girl with full of aura will become one of the "hurt Zhongyong".

Because of her age, the type of award she has won, her qualifications, and her background, it is an embarrassment with a capital letter.

has been the heroine of Duane or is it said that the www.biquge.info of the pen is high, and she can play with those well-known actors who are older, she herself has been a movie queen, and she can't be a supporting role for at least three or five years, the style is too high, and the halo is too bright.

Those movies let Chi Chi be the protagonist, what can she play?

Now there are few directors in China who can really make a literary film in a down-to-earth manner, even if they do, it is not the turn of Chi Chi, a minor girl, to be the starring role, He Shuwen has An Lan, Song Ziqiao has Liu Tingxin, Fang Shihe has Mo Yao and Gu Xi.

Acting in commercial films, Chi Chi's age restricts her acting path, can she act in passionate emotional dramas? Can she get rid of it? Even if she can, the national law will not allow it.

Now the emerging so-called chick movies are suitable for Chi Chi, but to put it bluntly, this kind of protagonist-centered movies are all used by those rich capital to support the starring role, why should people praise her without a background?

There is no movie to make, and it is not the most terrifying.

That's what Duane really wants to say but can't say to this kid.

The name of "Actress" looks glamorous, but the entire film market will only be more cruel to this girl who has just entered the circle for less than two years, people will be anxious to prove how much appeal this "actress" has, and will be anxious to see if the girl under this halo can hold up her crown, but how come they have no actors in China who have "box office appeal", and what really has appeal is the excellent movie itself.

The media and capital will not care about this, once Chi Chi does not show what they imagined to be the "actress", they will not hesitate to belittle her, give up on her, and don't care at all that she is just a newcomer who has been adrift in the film industry for less than a year, nor will they care that she is the age that she should be studying in school now.

Du ane is really afraid, afraid that Chi Chi Chi will be completely defeated by the impetuousness and pressure in the entertainment industry, there are too many such people in the history of film development, and there are many more than successful people.

"So I took advantage of the fact that I was not so embarrassed, and booked the next movie at a low price, well, called "Feng Kitchen" tells the story of a self-combing girl who becomes a cook for others, from the age of fifteen to the age of twenty-seven. "The girl didn't seem to know how bumpy the road ahead would be.

Old Man Du stopped and looked at Chi Chi.

"You know you're going to win a prize?"

"No, I...... Knowing that you will be embarrassed. Chi Chi touched his nose embarrassedly.

Even if the dancing baby elephant didn't win the prize, Chi Chi knew that he was embarrassed.

The reason is very simple, first there is a pity, and then she plays the heroine of Duane, which is already an unsvettenable resource for young actresses in China, unless she participates in the popular big IP theme or participates in the film projects supported by the state, otherwise, she has reached the peak that many actresses can reach before the age of twenty-six.

In the eyes of outsiders, she is a success, but she is not, she is too young, she is not yet an adult, she played a role at the age of seventeen, and she may be of the same type at the age of twenty-seven, among these types, how many can surpass "Daughter Country" and "Shen Jiu"?

So she simply set her sights on movies with special themes, such as "Feng Kitchen", which signed up for a month and a half before giving a reply, they are willing to use a newcomer, not necessarily willing to use a heroine used by Duane, taking advantage of the low price to shoot and not be said to be a movie queen after the "style" is lost, just grab a good script, it is much better than letting your next play be evaluated with a magnifying glass and a highlight light.

"A few years ago, I was still wondering why young actors couldn't act well and be serious actors. ”

Duane let out a sigh of relief, not knowing whether to say it to the distance or to the girl in front of him.

"Later, I understood that actors and stars are not human beings at all. They are the wealth of society, the lover of capital, and the tools of a group of people to make a living. When a star starts to appear, society will find a way to isolate him from his former life...... For example, you, now you have only a little fame and have been forced to give up your former mobile phone number. ”

The old man pointed to Chi Chi's mobile phone vibrating in his trouser pocket.

Even at this time, people have not given up looking for the "Linglong" and "Lin Qiu" who brought them topics and attention.

"This is the status quo of the entertainment industry - star-centric system, once you become a star, you are a god of a group of people, and God has no life. ”

Ji Chi showed a very distressed smile.

"What should I do, I don't want to give up whether it's acting or life. ”

The two of them turned back from the mountain road and walked slowly in the direction of the hotel.

"I want so much, beware that stealing chickens and rice will not be a recipe for rice when the time comes. ”

Duane himself didn't know why he suddenly said this to the girl in front of him, maybe because the wind was too warm today, maybe because the bowl of soup was too fragrant. Maybe it's because the same film "Shen Jiu" reminds him of that person many years ago.

Chi Chi never said that she has always refused hype and overexposure in front of the camera, in fact, just to make her acting career longer.

If the hype can give him more opportunities to act in a better play. She won't say no, and she won't refuse if overexposure can make her see more and better directors, and if she can see more and better scripts for herself.

But these will take her out of life - how can an actor who has left life be a good actor?

There is a saying that even elementary school students know that "the art of life comes from life and is higher than life", but unfortunately there are fewer and fewer people who still think that this sentence is the truth in the entertainment industry.

For celebrities, if they can get wealth by playing themselves, how many people are willing to sacrifice their faces, figures, voices, appearances, fame or those nihilistic "idol settings" to play someone else.

Life and stars are in conflict, life and acting should be closely linked.

"What if there's really no acting. ”

As he walked back to the hotel, the old man asked the girl beside him.

"Then I'll try my luck at the repertory theatre. I also saw a comedy troupe looking for someone the other day, and it looks good. ”

The old man staggered at his feet.

Okay, you can do it!

"Play my Shen Jiu well, I tell you, if you act seriously and well, how many good things will be yours, otherwise, you think the comedy troupe is so good!"

Sending the old man to the door of his room, Chi Chi bowed respectfully to him.

Thank you for reminding me of the difficulties ahead, and for reminding me of what I want.

The joy of getting the actress finally faded completely in that pork ribs and miscellaneous mushroom soup.
