Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Return
In a shabby and dark rental house, Lin Yimu sat on the edge of the bed with a sad and distraught look on his face, holding a black mobile phone in his hand. The screen showed the account balance interface with a big 100.00 displayed on it, indicating why he was frowning at the moment.
Lin Yimu stared at the balance in his phone for a long time before he sighed, turned off the screen and lay on his back on the bed. He hadn't been out to work for a long time. He passed the audition for a role and the director called him, asking him not to take any roles privately and wait for notification to join the crew.
So Lin Yimu hasn't taken any acting jobs for a month, and now he doesn't have much savings left. If he doesn't start working, he may not even be able to afford the rent or what to eat tomorrow.
So Lin Yimu is really in a dilemma now. He wants to call the director to ask when he can join the crew, but he is a little hesitant and afraid of being disappointed, so he has to wait a few more days.
Lin Yimu has been hearing the words "wait a few more days" for almost a month. From the initial excitement to the current uneasiness, he is very tormented. So he has been hesitating whether to call the director to ask, but he is afraid that this will make the director unhappy and replace him.
Lin Yimu has been in the circle for ten years. After his debut on a talent show, he has not received any decent resources until now because he has always insisted on not accepting the unspoken rules arranged by the company. Later, the company simply stopped caring about him. All the resources were obtained by him little by little by running around and drinking in the hospital.
The resources he found were just barely enough for him to make a living, and this time Lin Yimu finally found an opportunity to work with a famous director, and he was even the third male lead in the drama, so he always had a feeling of worry and fear.
When the director suggested that he keep in touch and join the crew at any time, Lin Yi Mu agreed without thinking. But now he has not received any notice to join the crew and has no living expenses, so Lin Yi Mu is really in a dilemma.
Just when Lin Yimu was struggling, his Weibo account suddenly pushed a message, which made Lin Yimu look pale and confused.
Jinxiu Heshan official Weibo: #Jinxiu Heshan lineup official announcement# The makeup poster everyone has been looking forward to is here~……
Before Lin Yimu clicked on it, he was still a little confused. Why did the official Weibo of the crew release the makeup photos before he received any notification to join the crew? Did he make a mistake?
However, after clicking on the Weibo post and reading the detailed content, Lin Yimu's puzzled expression slowly turned into shock, confusion and disbelief.
Lin Yimu looked at the official announcement of the third male lead, an actor he didn't know, and he couldn't find his name after searching the entire official Weibo.
After finally confirming that he had been replaced for no reason, Lin Yimu stared at the official Weibo on his phone in confusion for a long time. It was not until the phone went off that Lin Yimu suddenly woke up and rushed out of the house, grabbing the phone.
This TV series was the best opportunity he had gotten on his own in all these years. How could he wait for a month without even a notification, only to be replaced? He even saw the news on Weibo, when their contract had clearly been signed, hadn't he?
Lin Yimu ran out of the door with a messy mind, running on the street where cars were constantly flowing. He felt that this was a normal operation in the entertainment industry, but also found it a little hard to accept. He wanted to ask for an answer but knew in his heart that it was unlikely.
How can a small person like him ask a big director for help? If it weren't for the audition, he probably wouldn't even get to meet the director.
Lin Yimu shook his head bitterly, regretting countless times in his heart that he did not listen to the advice and plunged into the entertainment industry. However, every time he thought of his parents' disappointment in him, Lin Yimu could not help but want to prove that his choice was right.
But now, he has no room for regret. Standing on the busy street, Lin Yimu was confused for a moment and didn't know whether he should continue.
At this moment, Lin Yimu's cell phone suddenly rang, indicating that a text message had been sent.
Lin Yimu opened it and found that it was a notification of overdue mobile phone payments. He smiled bitterly and put the phone in his pocket. Now he guessed that only the business hall would send him messages or call him.
He now has only a hundred dollars left on him. If he doesn't get any more roles, he will have to live on the streets. Besides, he still has a contract with the agency and has no way out.
Lin Yimu put away the bitter expression on his face, turned around and prepared to go back to his rental house. However, as soon as he turned around, an out-of-control, shabby car suddenly rushed out from the corner of the street and rushed in front of him before Lin Yimu could react.
At the moment he was knocked away, besides the screams and exclamations of passers-by, what flashed through Lin Yimu's mind were the old faces and disappointed eyes of his parents.
…
"Why is this child so stubborn? He won't listen to anything I say!"
"Don't worry, when the child wakes up, we'll try to persuade him. Maybe he'll figure it out."
"But Xiaomu came back yesterday and was so determined to sign a contract with that agency. Can you persuade him?"
"Okay, okay, don't be angry. The child is still young. He will be sensible when he grows up."
Listening to the vaguely familiar conversation between a man and a woman, Lin Yimu's originally confused brain suddenly became clear. He recognized that the owners of the two voices were his parents, and a smile of surprise and excitement appeared on his face.
Lin Yimu turned over and got up from the bed. He looked at the room layout that was so familiar that it made him want to cry. He walked to the door excitedly and opened it. He saw two people sitting on the sofa in the living room and talking.
On the fabric sofa in the living room, there were a man and a woman sitting. Both of them were good-looking, the man was tall and handsome, and the woman was gentle and graceful. When they suddenly saw Lin Yimu coming out of the room, they looked at him with surprise.
When Lin Yimu looked at his teenage parents in front of him, his eyes couldn't help but become hot. He ran over and hugged them.
The couple, who were originally surprised that their son woke up so early, looked at each other in confusion when they saw his sudden coquettish behavior. Finally, it was the gentle mother Jiang Wanqiu who spoke up, "Xiao Mu, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly acting like a spoiled child so early in the morning?"
Lin Yimu listened to his mother's gentle voice, and after the excitement in his heart slowly calmed down, he let go of the hands that were around their necks, and said with a rare blush on his face: "Mom, I just feel like I haven't seen you for a long time."
Hearing this, Jiang Wanqiu helped Lin Yimu, who was sitting next to her, to tidy up his messy hair and said with a smile, "You kid, you had a stubborn argument with your parents as soon as you came back yesterday, and today you're acting like a spoiled child." At this point, Jiang Wanqiu's tone turned serious and she said, "But, acting like a spoiled child is useless. Your parents will never agree to let you drop out of school and join the entertainment industry."
Even Lin Bohan, the father of Lin Yimu, who was sitting nearby reading a newspaper and listening to the conversation between the mother and son, put down the newspaper in his hand, looked at Lin Yimu gently and said, "Son, what your mother said is what I want to say. It's not that your parents don't agree to your entering the entertainment industry, but if you want to drop out of school, your parents will never agree to it no matter what."
Lin Yimu listened to his parents' words and looked at their young faces. He finally felt a real sense of security in his heart. He also guessed from their words that he might have returned to the time when he was determined to enter the entertainment industry.
During the summer vacation of his first year in high school, he participated in a talent show out of curiosity. His excellent performance in the show attracted the attention of several management companies at an early stage. Before he even entered the finals, several agents came to him. In the end, he was impressed by the agent from Jihe Media in his previous life who signed him with very good contract terms and agreed to sign with their company.
So after he debuted as the runner-up on the day the audition ended, the agent from Jihe Media wanted to sign a contract with him. However, because he was a minor, he needed to be accompanied by a guardian to sign the contract. Lin Yimu went home that night and told his parents about it.
His parents did not object at first, but after Lin Yimu said that he had agreed to his agent and needed to drop out of school to concentrate on his career in the entertainment industry, his parents began to strongly oppose it. They even had a big fight over it, and the next day he even went on a hunger strike to force his parents to agree to sign the contract.
In his previous life, he had been wandering around since he signed a contract with the agency. He had even worked hard for ten years without any decent achievements. His parents had always been worried about him. Every time they asked him to quit the entertainment industry, Lin Yimu didn't know why he had to fight so hard.
In the end, his parents were disappointed in him, and his relatives and friends thought he was uneducated and a waste. In the end, he never had a chance to look at his parents until they passed away.
Lin Yimu closed his eyes, suppressed the moisture in his eyes, and looked at his healthy and young parents in front of him. From their earnest words of consolation, he roughly guessed the time of his return.
It should be the day when he goes on a hunger strike and forces his parents to sign the contract, and his parents will give in and sign the contract tomorrow because they can't bear it and feel sorry for him.
Thinking of this, Lin Yimu looked at the electronic perpetual calendar hanging on the wall.
On September 15, 2012, at 6:45 am, he went on a hunger strike, hurting his loving parents and selling himself to the vampire-like agency from his previous life for twenty years.
After confirming the time, Lin Yimu suddenly felt a little relieved. Fortunately, he came back not too late and there was still a chance to make amends. This time, he would not use this way of hurting himself to force his parents and hurt their hearts.
In this life, he wanted to spend more time with his parents and listen to them. He would no longer be so obsessed with entering the entertainment industry, which would ruin his life and also cause his parents to be criticized because of their disappointing son.
Jiang Wanqiu and Lin Bohan saw that their son had remained silent, and were worried that they had spoken too harshly and hurt his self-esteem. Just as Lin Bohan was about to say a few words to make amends, he was stopped by Jiang Wanqiu with a look.
Jiang Wanqiu looked at Lin Yimu tenderly and spoke in a gentle voice, "Xiaomu, don't blame your father for being too harsh. He is doing this for your own good. Think about it. You are only 16 years old and haven't even finished your freshman year of high school. If you drop out of school now to try your luck in the entertainment industry, what will you do in the future if you don't succeed? If you go to college, even if you don't have a future in the entertainment industry, you can still find a good job, right?"
Lin Yimu looked at his parents who were thinking only of him, and listened to his mother's gentle explanation. He suddenly smiled and said, "Mom and Dad, don't worry. I won't think about entering the entertainment industry to become a star anymore. I will study hard and get into a good university."
