Extra 11: If I didn't meet you (Qiu Wen)
I went, but not by plane, but by train, and it took me two days to get to that city.
In fact, I have plenty of money on hand now, and the money she borrowed from me plus my own is almost 50,000.
But I don't dare to spend it, and I can't move her money, because I don't have that much confidence in myself, after all, I don't know anything......
As for my grandfather and grandmother, I couldn't understand my sudden move to go to the audition without learning how to drive, and my grandfather also said about me.
I said that if I couldn't come back, I could learn to drive, and it wouldn't be long, and I could see that he didn't agree, but he didn't say anything in the end.
As for my grandmother, I like Li Jiayi very much.
Because of this matter, Li Jiayi ran to my house for several days in a row, and every time she came, she brought gifts, and asked her not to bring them, and every time she said yes, but every time she came, she brought it again.
My grandmother always praised her, she has a good personality and knows how to be polite, and she is also good-looking, many times better than the ones I used to bring home, the point is that she will care about me and help me.
A lot of times I don't know if my grandma really likes her, or if she likes her gifts, or if she can help me......
Another point is that my feelings about her have changed very subtly in the past few days, and we have a rare topic, and we will not be relatively speechless.
She not only found the genre information of this drama and studied it with me, but also brought me some books, such as "Performing Arts", "Introduction to Acting Skills of Film and Television Actors", and "Self-cultivation of Actors......
I don't have a foundation, I don't understand anything, although there is a feeling of cramming, but I am touched by her intentions.
In particular, she always smiled and said that if this kind of audition is not more professional, if you want to be professional, you will go to film school, but no matter what it is, the more you know, the more confidence you have, and you know yourself and your opponent, and you will win all battles.
When she said this, it occurred to me that I had never really known her before......
Time was limited, so I read two books casually, and finally when I got on the bus, I brought one with me to study repeatedly in the car, which was also the first time since I started studying that I read a book so seriously.
The audition was very simple, it was done in three minutes, and I had a very strange feeling when the assistant standing next to the director told me to leave and wait for the announcement.
I didn't learn how to drive in Gothic, and I took a two-day drive for three minutes...... When was I brainwashed by Li Jiayi?
I didn't leave the audition, but waited for more than an hour, and finally saw the assistant lady with glasses out of the audition hall and went to the bathroom, and I immediately followed.
Pretending to meet by chance outside the bathroom door, I called her with a smile, in fact, I just wanted to ask, when will the results of this audition be released, I can make a plan, if it is too long, I will go back and wait first.
I didn't think that the young lady not only remembered me, but also hinted to me that I had a good chance and would receive a notification within a week of being selected.
At that time, I was so happy, I thanked him vigorously, and when the people left, I pinched my phone and walked out thinking about whether to call Li Jiayi.
But in the end, I still suppressed the excitement and impulse, because before the final results came out, if something stubble, the face would be lost.
What I didn't expect was that as soon as I returned to the hotel, Li Jiayi's phone came, I looked at the phone number, couldn't hold back a low laugh, and paused to pick it up.
She asked me how I was doing, and I said it was okay, and then told her that the results should be available in a week, and I wouldn't go back for a while.
She immediately smiled and said, I must be fine, wait for the good news.
At that moment, I really wanted to tell her what the assistant lady said, but I still tried to hold back, and pretended to be calm and said: "I am still quite confident in the audition, you didn't see it today, there are a lot of crooked melons and oblique dates." โ
"Poofโ"
"What are you about?"
"Ahem...... Nothing. โ
"What I'm saying is really good, I also peeked at it, and I can't complain about a lot!" As I spoke, I became interested, took out a cigarette and sat down on the edge of the bed, "Let me tell you, there is a man who is particularly funny, the director asked him to pose as if he thought he was very fierce, he directly raised his hand to beat his chest, grinning and roaring, making him look like a crazy orangutan, the director asked him what he was doing?" He said King Kong. โ
"Hahaha-"
"Hahahaha-" She laughed, I laughed too, and then said, "It turns out that he really played an orangutan, and my brother almost died of laughter!" And a ......"
I hung up on the phone for more than half an hour after chatting, but I still couldn't get enough.
At that time, I didn't realize that I had unknowingly fallen into the trap laid by Jiayi with empathy and gentleness, and when I came back to my senses, I was already deeply trapped in it, and I couldn't do without her tolerance and warmth, as well as encouragement.
Within a week, I received a call for the re-election on the fourth day, and I was not very surprised by this result, but I was more surprised that I was actually the candidate for the second male lead!
I still remember that moment even years later, excited, excited, as if I had become famous overnight.
The first thing I did was to call Jiayi and tell her the good news, her voice sounded trilled, and she kept telling me that she knew, she knew, and I was completely fine.
I pretended to be calm again, "Eh, don't get excited, there are three candidates for this role, and they have to compete, and I don't know what the situation will be until the end." โ
Then I pretended to be forced and said a prophecy, but it was not the three of us candidates who got the role of the second male, but the person recommended by a sponsor......
Although in the end, I still got a third-tier role with some scenes, but in my world, the originally sunny sky was clouded in an instant, and my rebellious heart almost made me choose to quit.
However, I can lose my dedication during this time, lose the energy and effort spent every day not going out of the room to study the second male character in the script, but I can't lose my life willfully, so realistic, cruel, but I have to go on.
Jiayi borrowed my money, I have already moved some, and I still have to earn back my money spent to learn to drive!
I kept telling myself, what's wrong with the third-tier characters? What if my brother is up with this third-tier role?!
From depression to depression, and then to disobedience, I am more and more attentive to the role I am now having.
And I have to admit that that role is quite suitable for me, I don't dare to say that it is easy to get it, it will not be all kinds of stiff and unnatural, compared to the person recommended by the sponsor, I don't know how many times stronger, acting in a play is the same as reciting it, heh......
Jiayi mentioned to me a few times to come to see me, but I refused, in fact, I knew that she should be worried about how the role change would affect me.
Of course, there are impacts, but only at the beginning.
Because in that kind of dissatisfaction and competition, I used a serious attitude that I had never felt before to analyze and understand my role, and delved into my acting skills, and gradually, I became more and more addicted.
Not long after the filming started, a strange feeling suddenly rose in my heart, as if I was no longer me, but the character I played, all the pressure from reality, all my past, no longer existed, like a new life......
The feeling of having no scruples, no constraints, no constraints, and everything in the script is so good that it is fatal to me.
Especially the voices that affirmed my acting skills, even the director admired me, which made me feel a sense of accomplishment that I had never felt before.
It's a pity that no matter what the play, there is a time when the song is over......
The life outside in the past few months has not only made me completely obsessed with acting, but also taught me a lot and understood a lot.
For example, this audition is actually just a matter of the crew promoting the new drama to see if they can find sponsors...... The cat behind it is much more tired.
Of course, there are also inspiring, and there are many stories of overnight success and hard work on the big screen in the crew, and those stories have given a lot of hope to everyone who loves this profession except me.
As soon as I got home, my grandmother told me that Jiayi had come to see her and my grandfather several times, and each time she came with a big bag, and said that the girl I had dated before had also come to me twice, but she didn't tell her my phone number.
After I went to that city, I changed my mobile phone card, and I changed the place for filming, and it was only when my grandmother said that I remembered that there was still such a girl waiting for me.
For the first time, I felt guilty about a woman that I had never felt before.
I immediately went to the girl and told her to break up, and the girl was also free and easy, and directly slapped me and said, this slap is to return her to wait for me for a few months.
My face didn't hurt, it was hot, and I nodded to her, "I'm sorry, I should have told you earlier." โ
"Do you want me to slap you back?" Her eyes were red.
...... "I think she should have misunderstood, I really apologized, and I didn't mean anything else."
After all, just because I didn't care about it and didn't make it clear, she waited for me for a few months.
As for Jiayi, I don't know how to repay her for her kindness to me, but I also know that I can't continue like this.
I can't watch her waste her time, her youth, her feelings on me, and I can't give her anything in return.
I'm going to get out of here, I'm going to keep acting, even if it starts with tricks!
Therefore, I can't hurt her, she and I are not from the same world.
I was tired when I came back, but I had no sleep all night, and the next day Jiayi came to see me, and it was a big bag.
My grandmother was smiling from ear to ear when she saw her, and I ...... But he hadn't figured out how to speak......
I told her to come in and sit down, then went and took the card she had given me earlier and handed it back to her, "Thank you." โ
"You're welcome!" She smiled so hard that she couldn't see her teeth and took the card, and while opening her small bag to put the card up, she said, "I'll just say, you're definitely fine, I'm never afraid that you won't pay me back." โ
"......" I clenched my fingertips, and my mind flashed to the picture of her handing me two thousand dollars in the alley behind the school station.
