Chapter Ninety-Six: The Actor's Troubles

The basement provides the first stop for the tiniest but not humble people. www.biquge.info This space, which was originally used to prevent nuclear weapons and avoid bombing during war, is crowded with all kinds of dreamy teenagers with bursting ideals and tight wallets, interpreting the bitterness and pathos under the prosperity.

Most people are in this situation, groping their way from their poor hometowns, because Beijing people have many opportunities and resources, and they decide to stay here and try it, they don't know what they can do and what they want to do, they just stay in Beijing, stay and stay and get used to it, as long as they don't starve to death, they stay like this.

There are also some people who have dreams of stardom and art, who are arrogant and boast of their talents, thinking that the world does not understand them and owes them too much.

And Beijing, this huge anthill and beehive, is always like a sloppy mother, with a feeling of tolerance for them, where they have the opportunity to show their strengths. Running tricks, singing in bars, and being wild models, as long as they can survive, they will walk through the cracks of reinforced concrete like Xiaoqiang who can't be killed.

Some people have to take one or two decades to realize their ignorance, and when people are old, their ideals are still there, which is the most terrible curse.

Next door to us lives a security guard uncle from Shandong and his daughter-in-law.

At the beginning, this uncle wanted to be an actor, and came to Beijing with a huge sum of 50 yuan, but he ran into walls everywhere, and slept in the bridge cave for two months at the worst time, and finally met a girl who also dreamed of stardom and got married.

The two of them have each found a job, and now when they see those people who are playing tricks, they will be a little excited and make some ripples in their hearts.

There is a young couple in Shanxi who sell cool skins living opposite the door, they have three children, all girls, and they are about to have a fourth, hoping to be a handler.

They get up early and set up stalls in the dark, and people in their thirties look about the same as they are in their fifties, and it is not only their bodies but also their minds that age early, or rather, they have never tasted the taste of youth.

Life has the intention of withering here, and the rich and second wives in luxury brands, and the pretending young people at literary gatherings, can't hide the mediocrity, boredom, rigidity, order and vacuum in the bones of this city.

In the evening, the uncle next door made love to his wife, although the time was short, but the number of times. The worst thing is that the young couple who sell cool skins are also emotional, the movement is big, the duration is long, and it is estimated that they have taken Viagra. If you sing and I'll appear, I don't want to sleep at night.

It may be because of the bad air, as soon as he moved in, Lu Zehuan had a high fever that did not go away, and he was sent to the hospital to fetch water and tried everything, but the fever never went away.

Geng Hao sometimes stayed awake all night, sitting next to him and taking care of him. Almost every two weeks, Lu Zejun would have a fever, and we would naturally take more care of him.

In the era of snail dwelling, we only coveted the few square meters that belonged to us, and there was no fierce sound of bed calling and the smell of the toilet.

After only living in the basement for two months, Yin Deji became a chef foreman, his income increased, and he moved to a regular community.

Lu Zehuan went out to share a two-bedroom house with his colleague and brother, and he lived a good life.

At that time, he and this senior brother engaged in a clean coal project in the coal mining group, and they had a stable income every month, and their lives went straight to a well-off life. It's just that the matter with his secret lover has never been revealed to us.

Once I went to his house as a guest, I met the senior brother who shared the house with him, named Zhao Ran, who was stably, slightly chubby, quite rich, humorous and talkative, and a little sissy, which always reminded me of Fei Yuqing's energetic sister who sang "A Cut Plum".

I chatted with Lu Zejun while he was cooking in the kitchen.

Zhao Ran told me: "This brother Lu Zehuan, he is still too infatuated, Xu Lu is such a good girl who comes downstairs to give him things every day, and he is indifferent, don't say it, I'm in a hurry." ”

I asked Zhao Ran: "You have been together for so long, do you know who Lu Zehuan's secret lover is?" ”

He patted his thigh and said, "Hey, don't say it, I've set it N times, but I can't get it, my junior brother should want to wait until he gets married or announces it." It's hard to say wow, maybe one day suddenly there are four or five little dolls under their armpits and call us uncle, or it is possible. ”

Geng Hao painted a set of oil paintings called "Life" after our graduation trip, and he said that it was to evoke my memory, but it didn't work.

A coal boss took a fancy to it and bought the oil painting at a high price, which made the kid make a windfall, and since then he has returned to Songzhuang to paint full-time.

Occasionally, when I went to Songzhuang to have tea with him, he asked me, "Do you still remember the memory of our graduation trip?" ”

Thinking of the past, my heart was a little gloomy, and I said, "I really can't remember, if you paint more scenes at that time in the future, maybe it will activate my memory." ”

He kept painting, painting the landscapes of western Sichuan, the life of the Tibetans, and everything about that trip.

For some reason, it was as if there was a ferocious black hole in my head that swallowed up those memories, and no matter how much I tried, it was in vain.

At that time, I had already moved to a neighborhood near the film school north of Jimen Bridge, and shared a house with a third- and fourth-tier actor named He Tielong. Of course, the third and fourth lines are set by him, and I personally feel that he is at least at the level of the eighth and ninth lines.

Yuan Zheng went home and found that I had moved away quietly, and I had unforgivably put rent on his pillow, so he naturally screamed on the phone, saying that your little universe has an enmity with me Yuan Zheng, isn't this an insult to our friendship and feelings?

He also asked me if his father had said something that stimulated me so that I moved out, and threatened to find the old man to settle the account.

I told him that if you dare to go to your father, we will break up, this has nothing to do with your father, I moved out by myself, and it is closer to the school.

He had no choice but to give up, saying that he would come back often in the future.

This community is adjacent to the film academy, as if you can get anything next to it, there are all kinds of directors and actors living here, and I often see people walking their dogs walking and meeting others and chatting: Is your movie project approved, your drama is finished, and the chicks of the crew are sassy...... And so on.

One day, I met director Du Feng by chance in the community, and after chatting, I learned that he had just bought a house in this community and decorated it immediately.

When we saw the old man, we immediately went to my house and made a big meal.

Du Feng's new film lacks a male role, so I asked my roommate He Tielong to try the play, He Tielong thanked me and Du Feng very much, and just knelt down and kowtowed.

I said don't kowtow, you can cover this month's public health. He patted his chest and happily agreed.

When He Tielong just graduated, he was half like Wu Yanzu and half like Huang Xiaoming, boasting that he wanted to take over the first big drama, but Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang didn't accept it.

As a result, as soon as I graduated, the gap was too big, and I found that I was no different from the goods that hit the street at the gate of Beijing Film Studio. If it weren't for the fact that the family had some money to support him, he would have gone to bed early on the street.

Sometimes as soon as I got home, I was about to hold back my internal injuries, and when I entered the door, I scolded: "The eighteenth generation of the director of my day, Xiaoyu, do you know, our line of work is too bitter, more tired and undignified than picking up rags, I really don't want to do it." This broken circle, all playing false and fake, I can't get used to it! ”

I comforted and said, "Stick to it, what if the show comes, aren't you boasting that you are half Takeshi Kaneshiro and half Huang Xiaoming?" Besides, if you can't get used to seeing something, try to bypass what you are not used to. ”

In the past, I would have said that if I couldn't get used to something, I would try to change him, but I have come to understand that change is harder than ascending to the sky.

"Half Wu Yanzu and half Huang Xiaoming." He corrected.

"That's right, if you can't get it, you'll be even better than these two buddies in the future."

"Xiaoyu, I ****** now that I find that I am indeed half Wu Yanzu and half Huang Xiaoming, with a back like Wu Yanzu and a belly like Huang Xiaoming, I use it as a fart."

"Why don't you cut two knives and make Tom? Cruise, you can kill those two in seconds. ”

He Tielong immediately showed a look of horror: "That's not feasible!" Parents who suffer from the body, I swear to be a natural handsome guy in this life, and I will never have plastic surgery. ”

In fact, some crews have asked He Tielong to act, and some are still the second male lead, but this guy really doesn't go, saying that there are so many bad domestic dramas that a few Pacific can't fit in, and I can't become the culprit of producing cultural garbage for a few stinky money, I am a good young man with a sense of mission of the times, and my name will be engraved in the history of Chinese film in the future.

He looked at me and asked, "Don't you think I'm talking?" ”

"I don't think so, I'm behind you."

"When I used to tell all my seniors and peers about this, they laughed at me, reached out and touched my forehead, thinking that I had a fever and was talking nonsense."

"Don't worry about what others say, do what you want to do, and when you become an actor in the future, you will give the middle finger to those **** who have no vision."

He happily rolled on the couch, as if he had become a big man.
