Li Chaoran's ambition can be said to be a failure in the face of reality, and since then he has stopped thinking about running any major projects for a long time.

In contrast, Tang Qingyou, who was a pawn for free, was much more indifferent, probably because everything was in her expectations. Performing arts is an industry with high input and low output, and it is very difficult to succeed if you can't hold on to it for a long time.

For more than a year as an old scalper at the Nanshan Grand Theater and Beihai Art Base, Tang Qingyou has become accustomed to the mode of giving without return.

The operation of the base is advancing in a stable state, and Tang Qingyou has slowly returned to the days of revolving around mundane affairs. Fortunately, the theater is a magical place, and different stories are staged every day, adding a lot of soy sauce vinegar to the ordinary life.

Because of the existence of Fu Ping's small broadcast, Tang Qingyou's news has always been well-informed, but when she heard the latest news broadcast by Fu Ping, she still had some doubts about her hearing.

It is said that because Ren Taichu never set foot in the Nanshan Grand Theater after returning to the headquarters, Ji Simian couldn't stop thinking about it day and night, so he sent a message to Ren Taichu: "Brother, I miss you." And then ...... A lot of people know about it.

Tang Qingyou looked at Fu Ping suspiciously: "Since it's a private message from someone, how can it reach even you who know about it?" Rumors stop at the wise. ”

Fu Ping cursed and swore that it was true: "Mr. Ren told Mr. Ouyang about this, and Mr. Ouyang called Ji Simian over and scolded him!" Mr. Ouyang's office door is not closed, not to mention that I happened to pass by, many colleagues in the office next door can hear it clearly! ”

Tang Qingyou felt ridiculous, and even felt redundant to participate in the discussion.

In fact, in front of the gossip of the unit, Tang Qingyou himself was out of place. She eventually realized the problem: she was now in an environment that was contrary to her values, and she was afraid that she would suffer from depression for a long time.

After the pioneering period passed, everything went according to plan, everyone lived an ordinary life, no longer had to work overtime, the program became more and more homogeneous, and the working state became calm.

The days of step-by-step work are like a white horse, and unconsciously, Tang Qingyou has passed another few months in constant wandering and infinite struggle, except for Yang Miaoyan who finds her some embarrassment and trouble from time to time, except that Ouyang Zhi can't see her difficulties with one eye closed, life is rare and confused.

Probably because ordinary days can't meet Tang Qingyou's psychological needs, or maybe Zhanhong's "reading theory" has played a role, in the days of wandering, Tang Qingyou did not let himself be impetuous, but one day in extreme confusion, he went to a community art center to sign up for an amateur drama performance course.

After that, she went to the community every day after work, and on her days off, she soaked in drama rehearsals around the clock, using all her talent and hard work to find the feeling of love when she was young.

Little by little, she regained her stage drama performance skills, and one classic play after another was lined up, and after the first play was finished, she became the pillar of the community arts center. After the second part began, she took on most of the official performances at the Community Arts Center.

However, except for the needs of the role, she has never shown off her identity as the female number one.

After class, she almost always went alone, and when a colleague invited her to a party or something, she almost always refused, and the reason for the refusal was: busy.

But what exactly is she busy with?

The director of one of the dramas was rejected many times and did not give up, and out of curiosity asked Tang Qingyou what he was busy with, Tang Qingyou smiled and said: "Busy learning the loneliness of public." ”

The visitor turned around and went back with a confused expression.

None of them know that "Loneliness in Public" is the masterpiece of the drama master Zhan Hong, and the main point of view is to analyze the nature of the actor's work. He begins his book by arguing that the actor on stage is engaged in a kind of "public solitude".

The young Tang Qingyou used to be a student who was "one point at all" in the eyes of everyone, she was able to easily play a variety of roles on stage that were very different from herself in life, playing all kinds of funny animals and dead things as decorations, and even Zhanhong was not willing to let her demonstrate alone, so she found a number of half-bucket water brothers and sisters to make comparison references for her.

Probably because of the large number of people in the process of drama class and performance practice, Tang Qingyou PK down, so he sat firmly in the position of "Queen of Drama".

Many years later, Tang Qingyou's choice of reminiscing turned out to be "loneliness in public", which probably few people can understand.

And why the community art center, which has less money and more trouble, has become Tang Qingyou's choice, is a question that outsiders are more concerned about.

Let's just say that the well-known female anchor Wei Wei followed Tang Qingyou to a trial class, so she cut off the idea of signing up, and made fun of Tang Qingyou: "This is not a drama performance class, this is an urban stress reduction class!" ”

Wei Wei casually made a metaphor, but Tang Qingyou suddenly made a suggestion to the community art center, and even took the initiative to help make a proposal to package the "Urban Stress Reduction Drama Course" from the inside out to the market.

The course was unexpectedly popular, pushing the public welfare community art center that had been tepid to the commercial field, and probed the pulse of marketization, and only the first course earned the training income equivalent to all the local fund subsidies that year.

The community art center gave Tang Qingyou a thumbs up, especially the community cadres in charge, who repeatedly invited Tang Qingyou to serve as the center's art management consultant.

"Also, Mr. Tang is a big expert in the North and South Cinema Lines, and he came to our community to play drama to relax, and it is already interesting to help once, can you help for a long time with a name? What's going on! The cadres of the community art center were very considerate and automatically helped Tang Qingyou find a reason.

Tang Qingyou just smiled: "What a big expert, I'm just a little minion." ”

The north and south cinema lines, which are rich in big experts, are currently staging a wonderful "dragon and phoenix fight".

Hearing that Xie Zheng led the newly opened Guangmingding Grand Theater and joined the Youth Federation and the CPPCC in succession, Ouyang Zhi couldn't sit still anymore, and asked Zhang Bingwen to join the CPPCC, Zhang Bingwen recommended it to her with a big stroke of his pen.

The latest news, Ouyang Zhi just handed over a personal material of more than 5,000 words.

- Tang Qingyou knows so much, it was Minglan who counted it in front of her, and the original words were like this: "Lao Zhang has just arrived in the ministry to take office, this godgirl is really ignorant!" If you really have a few brushes, everyone will also give you praise, but her famous school returnee is a pheasant university, proficient in five Chinese languages can sing or not speak, what kind of elite is this? It's rumored to be a laughing stock outside, sooner or later it's a handle, and Lao Zhang is still in the dark baby! Wait and see! This will definitely be Lao Zhang's biggest handle in the future. ”

Tang Qingyou was not in a bad mood at the time, and laughed and teased Ming Lan: "Sister Lan, are you planning to stage "Predecessor Raiders"? ”

Minglan glared at her: "You don't see that I'm leaving my job, staying away from political risks is the instinct of our media people!" Besides, am I the kind of person who eats back grass? ”

The three words "Huitou grass" poked Tang Qingyou's weakness, and she smiled silently.

Today's working state is already a boiled frog in warm water, and there is no achievement, Tang Qingyou has wandered to this point, and he has predicted the outcome of his situation in the north-south cinema system. After hesitating for so long, she had lost the ability to make decisions on the spot, so the idea of stopping came to her.

It has been two years since the last big change in her life, and she still hasn't completely let go of the glory and warmth in her heart, so maybe admitting defeat no longer seems so difficult.

She kept instilling in herself: Huitou grass may also be a delicacy.

Before the next New Year's Eve arrived, Tang Qingyou took a long vacation to empty himself, took out his ten-year US visa, bought a plane ticket and flew directly to the United States.

At the moment when her life was wandering and her heart was swinging, she didn't think about going to Macau to join her own mother, but wanted to see her ex-boyfriend who was still in the ambiguous period.

But just like that, she arrived in San Francisco alone without informing anyone.

After settling in the hotel, Tang Qingyou found the location of Yida Financial Holdings with high-tech means and touched the door alone.

The blonde front desk lady dutifully blocked her in the front desk area, she sat on the sofa, flipped out her mobile phone and dialed Tu Yiran's number.

Tu Yiran on the phone spoke indifferently, not showing the surprise she expected at all: "Oh, good." Then wait a minute, I'll have someone bring you in. ”

Five minutes later, the front desk lady received a phone call and led Tang Qingyou into the president's office.

In those five minutes, Tang Qingyou's inner scene was as long as Zhu Gege, which was her unprecedented sensitivity. She really couldn't understand, why did Tu Yiran dry her for five minutes? If he's busy, he won't answer her calls at all. When you answered the phone and knew she was at the door, why did you think about it for five minutes?

Although Tu Yiran's style has always been "self-contained", the other side of machismo is the care of women. Tu Yiran, who was not in the quarrel stage, has always cared for her, and now she came from afar to surprise him, and he actually reacted like this. Tang Qingyou had infinite doubts before he became in a bad mood.

The front desk lady knocked on the door of the president's office and led Tang Qingyou to the sofa area, and the first thing that caught Tang Qingyou's eyes was Tu Yiran and Linda, who were sitting leisurely opposite each other with coffee, talking and laughing.

I don't know what happened a moment ago, Linda's hand was retracting from Tu Yiran's cheek. The two looked at each other and smiled, and the tacit understanding in that smile was an indescribable sense of familiarity to the audience Tang Qingyou.

Tang Qingyou's heart sank, and he began to count down how long Tu Yiran hadn't been in touch with him. This time, she found that the last conversation between herself and Tu Yiran was half a year ago, and he said that he was his heroine...... After that, she passed a few messages intermittently, but in recent months, she has only sent a few updates to Tu Yiran, and Tu Yiran has not replied - she has always thought that he is just as busy as before.

In an instant, everything in heaven and earth was like a dog, and Tang Qingyou experienced an alternative "loneliness in public".
