"Zhang Yansheng!!" Xu Lichen woke up with a scream.
In the suite, Zhang Yansheng looked up speechlessly, stood up and walked into the bedroom.
"What's wrong? Your face is as pale as a ghost?" She asked as she stood beside the bed, "Why are you sweating so much?"
Xu Lichen looked at her, panting, still a little dazed.
It took him two seconds to realize that this was the hotel suite where he was staying. Yesterday they drank a lot of beer on the curb outside, and when they came back to the hotel he opened some red wine, and then he lost his memory.
"I..." His head and throat ached, and his body showed all the symptoms of a hangover. "I had a terrible dream!"
Zhang Yansheng was speechless: "Is it really that serious to dream about it?" His face turned pale with fright.
"You don't know! You would never guess who I dreamed about. I actually dreamed about Wang Qian!" Xu Lichen rubbed his aching temple and said, "Why did I dream about her? Magic! I also dreamed about you. In the dream, the three of us were pretty good. We were all in Class 8, sticking together every day, playing around, skipping classes, and finally you and I were expelled from school together."
Zhang Yansheng was stunned.
Xu Lichen lowered his head and rubbed it, still unaware, and continued: "I dreamed that I liked you, and you liked me too, and then Wang Qian was always making trouble and trying to separate us. Later, you stayed in K City, and I went abroad."
"I went abroad and started drinking and taking drugs! I was drunk and dreaming! I was so skinny that any Indian could knock me down with one punch."
"I lived like this, so I didn't dare to go back to see you. I just hid abroad and didn't go back. Then one day, Wang Qian suddenly called me and told me...you were dead!"
"Fuck, I can still feel the sudden contraction of my heart when I heard you were dead! It was so painful! So painful! How could you die? They said you were drugged secretly and died of allergic reactions! Fuck, what kind of death is that! How could you die so cowardly? I can't believe it! This is not like you!"
Zhang Yansheng felt his throat dry and asked with difficulty: "What happened next?"
"Then I took a plane to rush back to China. I wanted to attend your funeral! And then that plane! The plane!" Xu Lichen's face turned pale again. The vivid feeling in the dream still lingered, and his heart was contracting so painfully. "And then that plane, it was fucking crashing! It was falling! We kept falling! Everyone was screaming! I was weightless! My heart was really uncomfortable!"
"Fuck!" Xu Lichen first covered his face, then rubbed it hard, muttering, "Too scary! Too scary! Too scary!"
The feeling of diving and falling towards death made him feel cold all over.
He looked up: "Zhang Yansheng, you said this dream..."
Bang!
Zhang Yansheng gave him a slap in the face.
Xu Lichen was slapped so hard that his face turned to the side and remained still: "..."
Zhang Yansheng asked, "Are you awake?"
Xu Lichen covered her face and nodded vigorously like a young wife.
"It's just a dream! Look at how cowardly you are! I'm here, and you're here too. Wang Qian left long ago, and neither of us is in Class 8 anymore. Do you believe in dreams, or do you believe in what's in front of you?"
"Believe, believe what is in front of you." Xu Lichen said weakly.
Zhang Yansheng said with disdain, "Then go take a shower! It stinks! It smells like alcohol!"
Xu Lichen climbed out of bed and went to the bathroom with a shy look on his face.
After he came out of the shower smelling delicious, he took a look around and found Zhang Yansheng in the study.
"?" he asked, "What are you doing?"
Zhang Yansheng bent over his desk and wrote quickly: "Homework."
Xu Lichen: “…”
What’s going on with the homework suddenly appearing?
And after my mind was clear, why did I suddenly start to feel anxious, chest tightness, and shortness of breath when I heard the word "homework"? He clearly didn’t have this feeling when his classmates handed him homework a few days ago!
Xu Lichen covered his chest and took a deep breath, then tentatively said, "Why don't you go back to K City first..."
Zhang Yansheng's eyes were like knifes cutting towards him.
"Well!" Xu Lichen explained, "I have two more scenes today and tomorrow! Then I'll be done! I'll go back after finishing tomorrow!"
Zhang Yansheng said: "I'll wait for you."
Xu Lichen had no choice but to say, "Then you rest in the hotel? I'll try to come back early in the evening."
"No need." Zhang Yansheng closed his homework, "I'll accompany you."
Xu Lichen felt like he was being watched by a supervisor while working, and he felt uncomfortable all over.
On the way to the crew, Zhang Yansheng asked, "Do you get paid for filming?"
"Yes! Of course not!" Xu Lichen slapped his thigh, "I make money based on my own ability."
"How much?"
"Six hundred a day."
Zhang Yansheng: “…”
Although she didn't know that this price was only slightly better than that of a supporting role, but...
"So, you live in a suite that costs 3,600 a night and you get paid 600 a day?"
Xu Lichen stiffened his neck and retorted: "This is not the same thing!"
When he arrived at the crew, Zhang Yansheng saw Xu Lichen going over to talk to the director. He kept smiling and clasped his hands together to express his apology. The director glanced at Zhang Yansheng, smiled and shook his head.
Is he apologizing to the director for what happened yesterday?
Xu Lichen has always had the temper of a rich young master, and his irritability is no less than hers. When did he become like this? Zhang Yansheng felt unfamiliar.
Xu Lichen got busy. Zhang Yansheng watched quietly.
When she turned around, she saw a young staff member stealing glances at her. She raised her chin and said, "Bring me a chair."
It comes naturally to order others around. So the man naturally went to move a chair for her. After Zhang Yansheng sat down, the man asked others in a daze: "Who is that girl?"
But no one knows.
Zhang Yansheng observed Xu Lichen while he was filming.
This was indeed the unfamiliar Xu Lichen to her. He not only has a handsome face, but also has a very lively expression. And you can see that he is serious and dedicated when filming. He listened carefully and learned seriously the director's instructions.
But in fact, Zhang Yansheng saw it. For a role like his, the director could only give him a role with only a few lines in the whole play. Really, it's only slightly better than a supporting role.
But Zhang Yansheng saw happiness in his eyes.
As she watched him get into the role, she clearly realized that with the help of the role, he temporarily broke free from reality, transcended himself, and gained real happiness.
She was also moved by the seriousness and obsession he showed. Because in his previous life, Xu Lichen had never been so persistent about anything, and had never bowed his head or bent his waist to others for any reason.
When Xu Lichen finished filming and looked for Zhang Yansheng, Zhang Yansheng was gone. He took out his cell phone and found that she had left him a message saying that she was going back to the hotel first.
Zou is such a moody woman! You don't know when she is angry or happy! When you asked her to stay in the hotel, she refused. When you wanted to ask her how she felt about her performance, she went back to the hotel!
Xu Lichen is really bald! !
He had finished filming today's scene and called a taxi back to the hotel.
On the way, he leaned back on the car seat, feeling idle, and couldn't help but think of the dream he had in the morning.
What a realistic dream! Thrilling!
He couldn't help but think of Zhang Yansheng in his dream.
It was clearly Zhang Yansheng, but the Zhang Yansheng whose face was so covered with scars that his original appearance was almost unrecognizable gave him an inexplicable sense of fragility.
No matter how arrogant and domineering she acted, Xu Lichen could feel in his dreams that she would be shattered if she was hit a little more.
It makes people feel distressed and sad.
When we returned to the hotel, we saw Zhang Yansheng writing at his desk again.
"Ahem." Xu Lichen asked, "Are you still rushing to finish your homework?"
Zhang Yansheng said "hmm".
Xu Lichen couldn't help but compare the Zhang Yansheng in front of him with the Zhang Yansheng in his dream...
As soon as Zhang Yansheng raised his eyes, Xu Lichen shuddered and immediately forced a smile.
Zhang Yansheng; "?" Why is your smile so fake?
"Come here and talk to you." Zhang Yansheng sat down on the sofa in the living room.
Xu Lichen also sat down.
Zhang Yansheng asked straight to the point: "Do you want to be an actor in the future?"
Xu Lichen was stunned, silent for a few seconds, and said very confidently: "Yes! I want to be an actor in the future! Yes, I want to be an actor!"
He stared at Zhang Yansheng, afraid that she would say something against him.
She was obviously neither his mother nor his father, but her words somehow carried weight with him. If Zhang Yansheng strongly objected, Xu Lichen would feel like he was going to become bald again.
However, Zhang Yansheng readily agreed: "It's good."
Xu Lichen breathed a sigh of relief, but still a little unconvinced: "Really?"
Zhang Yansheng nodded: "I think it's good, but..."
Here it comes! He knew that she must be lying in ambush somewhere! Xu Lichen perked up, but unexpectedly Zhang Yansheng asked him: "Then do you know the contempt chain in the entertainment industry?"
Xu Lichen: “?”
Xu Lichen is not a fan of celebrities, so Zhang Yansheng asked about his blind spots in knowledge. He shook his head honestly.
Zhang Yansheng gave him some basic knowledge: "There is a chain of contempt in all circles, and the entertainment circle is no exception. Basically, people who act in dramas look down on people who act in movies, people who act in movies look down on people who act in TV dramas, people who act in TV dramas look down on people who act in online dramas, people who act in online dramas look down on people who appear on variety shows, and all of the above look down on people who become internet celebrities."
Xu Lichen: “Puchi!” I thought it was so funny.
Zhang Yansheng added: "This is just one way of classifying the contempt chain. There are other ways of classifying, such as academic qualifications."
Xu Lichen: “?”
"Acting is not something you can do just because you want to. You were introduced by Xie Dong. What role did the director here give you? What part is it? Is there an 18th part? Six hundred yuan a day. I've asked around. It's just a few more lines than the average extra."
"You said you wanted to be an actor? You wouldn't be so naive to think that you can become an actor just by skipping classes and acting as an extra for a few days?" Xu Lichen stiffened his neck and said, "My mother has asked for leave for me!" He avoided the question.
Because he is really so naive! That's what he planned!
Zhang Yansheng saw through him at a glance, sneered, and threw a stack of papers in his hand to him.
"When you were not back, I called Director Xie to ask for advice. When it comes to acting, there are academic schools and non-academic schools. It goes without saying that the academic schools look down on the non-academic schools."
“Don’t bring up the fact that it takes ten or eight years for a non-academic celebrity to emerge. I’ve already said that it takes ten or eight years for a celebrity to emerge. If you’re not from a professional background, you’ll be ostracized and looked down upon.”
"This is the enrollment brochure of the three giants BD, ZX and SX. Please read it carefully."
Zhang Yansheng leaned back and said, "The domestic academic school mainly comes from these three giants, and the others are just small-time actors. If you really want to be an actor, take a look at their admission requirements. Learn what you should learn and practice what you should practice. Some people also want the college entrance examination scores! Study hard. If you don't study hard, you can't even understand the script. Are you still dreaming of becoming an actor?"
"Think about it carefully." She checked the time. "I've booked a flight tonight and will be going back to K City first. If you miss one day of class, you can't miss two."
"Think carefully about your own affairs. You are already a grown-up, so make a decent plan for yourself."
