Chapter 129 [Li Dongdong]
It was lightly bright.
In the toilet of a simple shared house.
Li Dongdong, who was squatting in the pit, muttered in his mouth.
"Art means a social ideology that uses images to reflect reality, but is typical of reality!"
"It includes painting, carving, architecture, music, literature, drama, etc. It is an important supplement to language. Just like when we speak loudly, laughter means happiness, and dancing and footsteps means anxiety..."
At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the toilet outside and shouted dissatisfiedly: "Hurry up!"
"Just just shit, don't be so sacred!"
A puff!
The mouse who was brushing his teeth couldn't help but smiled, and the foam in his mouth collapsed.
Then there was the sound of flushing the toilet.
A boy in his twenties with an ordinary appearance walked out of the toilet with a grin. Li Dongdong responded while holding his pants: "Create emotions, learn to improve yourself!"
"There is no use to study. It's not a good idea to be a good player. It's not that muddy plasma sticks to your body!" The one who is complaining is the boss of the dormitory and the oldest among the people who share the rent, named Pang Zeng.
Everyone also raised their heads and smiled, and was brushing their teeth and joking: "Brother Zeng has experience. By the way, Brother Zeng, you can teach me the posture of being shot and falling to the ground last time!"
"I was shot in three games today, and I couldn't even eat boxed lunches."
Pang Zeng, who entered the bathroom, smiled for granted, and said, "That must be, tell you what the director hates the most is the kind of artificial, deliberately stealing the show."
"Some fools think that if they perform for a while, they will be attracted to it, and they will be kicked away."
"There is no intention to waste time with you passerby. The camera switch is only in that moment."
This is a small house with three bedrooms and one living room near Hengdian.
Almost all the people living here are temporary actors with a dream of being an actor, hoping to one day make a name for themselves and be favored by the director or someone.
From then on, the destiny was changed and the company signed a contract to become an artist and actor.
Two handwritten copies that are conspicuous at the head of the bed are the actor's self-cultivation and the Linguistics of Expressions.
These are the two books that Li Dongdong read day and night.
Moreover, these two books were handwritten copies he copied from the library. In his words, it was because his family was poor and could not write to them to read. They borrowed them from the book collection house and recorded them by themselves, and returned them after a day.
Li Dongdong, a child who came out of a remote mountainous area.
He left his hometown at the age of sixteen and went on a journey alone. Later, he heard that Hengdian needed many supporting actors, so he embarked on this path.
From the beginning to the ignorance and stumble, it is the fifth year.
At the age of 21, he has been polished in society for a long time and has long lost his youthful appearance. What remains is a sense of maturity beyond his peers.
And the only thing that has not changed over the years is that he firmly believes that hard work will bring rewards.
Apart from that, everyone else has changed.
As time goes by, everyone has become indifferent to despair and accepts their fate.
It seems that I know that this road will never make a breakthrough, and at most it is to go to the airport for more show. If you are lucky, you will be attracted by the crew and you can earn tens of thousands of yuan a month.
However, Li Dongdong felt that the reason why everyone stayed at the bottom was not just because they had no connections.
He has indeed not received professional actor training and is seriously lacking from theoretical knowledge to practical experience.
"You are a supporting actor in the play."
"But you usually have to treat yourself as the protagonist to hone your acting skills, otherwise you will be a supporting role for a hundred years, and the so-called experience you accumulate is nothing more than supporting experience."
"You can't play a role well, either."
"Even if you encounter a director crew giving you a chance, it will be useless, because you can't do anything except a supporting role."
This is what Li Dongdong said.
For this matter, he argued with his boss, Brother Zeng for several nights, about what factors he wanted to become a good actor.
A good background, rich family?
Have connections or rely on means to get ahead?
Or is it the invisible and intangible acting?
Brother Zeng means that he has seen people who are lucky enough to make a fuss over the years he has been playing supporting roles.
I have also seen rich people spend money directly, ask characters to get roles, and eventually make a name for themselves.
There are also all kinds of good-looking ones with natural advantages that will be picked out by the crew.
And an ordinary person like them is impossible to survive unless there is a miracle, let alone become popular.
If you can't hold on, then go back to your hometown!
So every time Li Dongdong rehearses his role in a rental house and imitates the actors in the TV series to memorize lines, he will be ridiculed by Brother Zeng.
Of course, after all, they have lived under the same roof for two or three years.
Everyone is used to this, as if one day Brother Zeng would not speak a few words, he would not get used to it.
...
After Li Dongdong finished washing, she sat cross-legged on a chair in the living room, wearing headphones and listening to music.
Suddenly, a new song with an unfamiliar melody that suits your preferences appeared. When you click it, you can see that it seems to be called "The Girl with Four or Five".
Because I found that the lyrics and the singer's tone are all my favorite types.
Li Dongdong clicked on the singer interface called Cao Zhibin very easily, but was extremely surprised to find that there was only this song inside.
He was a little regretful. He finally found a singer who liked him very much. He thought he could find several good songs, but he might be able to cycle the single for a whole week.
In the end, he had to retreat in disappointment.
However, when he opened the comment section of the song.
"You have been drifting to Beijing for nine years, and you have finally succeeded. Brother Cao, I'm proud of you!" This comment was topped the top spot.
The reason is that this is the only message that the singer himself replied to.
Below is the singer Cao Zhibin himself replied: "Thank you, I thought I would give up this road, but I didn't expect someone to pull me on the edge of the cliff. I'm really lucky."
"In the end, I also understood a very profound truth, that is, not all efforts will be rewarded, but if you want to succeed, please do your best to persevere until the end!"
In addition to this, there are many interesting sentences and contents in the comment area.
Li Dongdong was surprised to find that the comments below seemed to mention a fortune teller named "Master Li".
It turns out that this new singer was originally a rafting singer in Beijing. She has always sang in bars and on the streets, but has not been appreciated by others.
After wandering for nearly ten years, I finally lost to reality.
On the verge of giving up, I met this legendary fortune teller. With the help and support of the other party, I successfully recorded my first song and embarked on the path of a singer.
To be honest, maybe for most people.
There is no way to experience the meaning behind the so-called "Nine Years of Drifting in Beijing"
But for Li Dongdong, he could understand, and even said that he understood very well, and could understand the other party's complex emotions that he was unwilling to give up but was defeated by reality.
He has also been in Hengdian for the fifth year and is not considered an old man here.
But it also endured batches of losers.
Li Dongdong didn’t know when she could last until, next year? Maybe two or three years?
One day I will succumb to the cruel society and give up this illusory path to actors.
Li Dongdong's eyes were slightly moist, and he spoke with deep feelings: "It's so good!"
After saying that, he swallowed a sip of water, rubbing his eyes as if his eyes were in the sand.
He tried hard to tell himself that you could do it, if you even give up on yourself.
Chapter completed!
