Chapter 40: You are the man who wants to be the king of comedy
When Liang Chaowei left, he told Lin Youlun the address of his home, and Liang Chaowei rarely returned to that home now, but Zhou Xingchi still lived next door to his house.
Lin Youlun looked for the address and opened the door to him by a middle-aged woman, judging by her age and appearance, she should be Zhou Xingchi's mother.
Seeing that Lin Youlun was dressed ordinarily, Zhou's mother did not treat him as a distinguished guest, and only poured him a glass of water after letting Lin Youlun enter the house, and then ignored him.
Zhou Xingchi was called out of the room by his mother, and his decadent appearance startled Lin Youlun.
Mustache and thin cheeks; The spirit is very calm, or it is decadent; The deep-set eyes set off the cheekbones on both sides, and the eyes under the thick, dark eyebrows also lost their brilliance.
Zhou Xingchi stared at Lin Youlun for a while, and finally came to the conclusion:
"I don't know you."
His expression, his tone, was like that of an eighty or ninety-year-old man who had seen through the world, and that kind of cold tone that didn't care about anything at all, completely lost the vitality that a young man in his twenties should have.
Lin Youlun still sat still, "Why didn't you say this when you changed my script?" ”
Zhou Xingchi slowly raised his head, his eyes widened, he had already guessed Lin Youlun's identity.
"I ......" Zhou Xingchi's throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't speak at all for a while.
"Don't say anything, you can find me a mirror first."
Zhou Xingchi didn't know what Lin Youlun wanted the mirror for, but he still found something according to his request.
Lin Youlun took the mirror to Zhou Xingchi's face, and then asked Zhou Xingchi what he saw.
Zhou Xingchi was very puzzled, he looked in the mirror by himself, and of course he saw himself.
Lin Youlun then asked, "Then do you know what I saw in the mirror?" ”
Zhou Xingchi shook his head.
Lin Youlun's tone suddenly became stern, "I saw in this mirror a man who was going to become the king of comedy in the future, but he is now discouraged and ready to give up, you can help me ask him, do you remember the heroic ideal at the beginning?" ”
Zhou Xingchi suddenly felt a burst of heat in his heart, and two lines of hot tears couldn't stop flowing.
Lin Youlun pointed to the empty seat on the sofa opposite, asked Zhou Xingchi to sit down first, and then he began to tell Zhou Xingchi a story.
"There is a little boy whose family is very poor, and other students can take their favorite female classmates to visit Mong Kok Central after school, drink Coke, and go to the cinema to watch Bruce Lee's kung fu movies, but the little boy has to go to Polan Street after school to help his grandmother set up a stall."
"It's not easy to set up a stall, the little boy has to do everything to prove to others that what you are selling is better than others, and even spend more than half an hour convincing others to buy it from his stall. At that time, the grandmother told the little boy not to pay attention to what people say about you, and don't care what others think of you. If you want to live well in this society, then don't care too much about what others think of you. ”
"The little boy grew up, and one day the neighbor's kid next door asked him to go to a TV training class with him, and the boy was reluctant to go at first, he needed to earn money to support himself, and he might need a more practical job, but the neighbor's kid told him that he could make a lot of money after becoming an actor. So the boy decided to go, and he should go for the money. ”
After a year of training classes, the boy became a wireless contracted actor in a daze, of course, the actor is just the name he called when he introduces himself to outsiders, in fact, he is a trickster, sometimes he is unlucky, and he can't even take the turn. And the kid in the neighborhood has much better luck than the boy, he is also a contracted actor of wireless, but he can play the leading role, say a lot of lines, and constantly show his face in front of the camera. ”…,
"My former best friend became a big star, and gradually distanced myself from the boy, the boy was happy for his friend, but also very lost, there are many unknown actors like him, and no one will care about their feelings."
The boy went to be the host of a children's show, and the speaking skills he had practiced at the time finally came into use, but the wireless station suddenly asked him to go back to acting, although he was still playing tricks, but he could finally say a few lines. It was also at this time that the boy met Wu Mengda, who was speaking lines and playing tricks like himself. ”
Wu Mengda is like an old child who doesn't grow up, babbling in the boy's ear all day long, saying that he used to be good friends with Fa Ge, Fa Ge is not righteous, and refuses to lend him money for emergency, and he was almost forced to jump off the building that time. Although Wu Mengda is so nagging, the boy likes him very much, because in Wu Mengda's body, he can see the shadow of his future. The gap between Wu Mengda and Fa Ge is like the gap between a boy and a neighbor's boy, and two people with the same disease have become good friends. ”
"By chance, the boy suddenly developed, he and Wu Mengda were favored by a certain director together, and acted in a very popular movie, and then many people asked them to make a film. When the two were drinking at the top of Victoria Peak, they used to talk about acting in many movies together, but they didn't expect their dream to come true so soon. The two took on a lot of film appointments together. The boy only found out at this time that the neighbor's kid didn't lie to himself, and he could really make a lot of money as an actor, and he made a lot of money. ”
"The boy has been poor since he was a child, so after he became famous, he began to desperately take over the film, as long as the other party gave money, he didn't care what kind of role he played, he just wanted to make money desperately and buy a big house for his family, so that his mother didn't have to work as hard as she is now."
"The big house was bought, but the boy's movie was smashed, and those who waved the check to him to make a film suddenly became a bitter debtor, and the boy just got something, and in the blink of an eye, it became nothing. He locked himself in his room, refused to see anyone, and thought that his life was ruined. ”
Zhou Xingchi sat and listened to this story, his heart felt like a knife, and he couldn't help crying bitterly. The boy in Lin Youlun's story is none other than Zhou Xingchi's experience from childhood to adulthood.
"As a storyteller, I want to see the end of the story where the boy becomes a big star who can make a lot of money, and he can take his favorite girl to the most exclusive restaurant in Mong Kok Central, book the whole movie theater to watch Bruce Lee's movies, and invite friends to drink the most expensive foreign wine in the world. Although Grandma could no longer see all this, if she could see the boy become like that, she would definitely smile from ear to ear. ”
Zhou Xingchi raised his wet face, looked at Lin Youlun with two bloodshot, tearful eyes, and nodded firmly.
"Think about what you've done during this time, and take care of yourself after you figure it out, at least let me see what a person looks like when I see you again!" Lin Youlun left this sentence when he left, ready to give Zhou Xingchi another chance, if this kid is not angry, then he deserves this fate.
