Chapter 120

Facts have proved that in the face of absolute power, all threats and threats are paper tigers.

"I'm just... a group performer."

When he said these words, Yan Xiu's heart was actually very peaceful - if he still had a heart at this moment.

Professional group performers, also known as walk-on actors, appear in various production groups in the film and television city every day, waiting for the director of the production team to come and go as soon as they are called.The time with the crew is longer than the starring role, but can only get a small role that doesn't hurt, and don't even have a chance to show face.

It is the stars that shine brightly, and they are the dust around them.

Yan Xiu's family background is not good, his father is a lazy man who likes to gamble, his mother is a barbaric woman who can't read big characters, and knows money but not people. There are many brothers and sisters in the family, and he is the eldest.His parents couldn't afford so many jobs, so he dropped out of school early to work when he was young. Because of his immature age and low education, he suffered a lot when he first stepped into the society to find a job.

Waiter, scrubber, brick mover, car washer, miner, housekeeper... He has done almost all the jobs at the bottom of the society. For a while, he was tricked into a pyramid scheme because he didn't know people well, and after he owed a lot of debt, almost lost his life.

It was the most difficult period in his life. Like a mouse, he hid from his creditors every day, not daring to see the sun, and he had to send money to his family regularly to satisfy his increasingly greedy parents.When the pressure is the most, when passing the bridge, I have the idea of jumping off the bridge, but when I think that I have not lived enough at such a young age, I feel that it is better to live than to die, and maybe one day he can become a big shot.

So he spent the dark days with the fantasy that "heaven will give me a big responsibility".

By chance, he was brought into the entertainment circle by a friend who used to work together.

"...There is a temporary shortage of a young actor who can show his face, three hundred a day, will you come?"

At that time, Yan Xiuxiu was sitting on a park bench, worrying about where to find a job. His temporary residence was sprayed with paint, and the creditor brought a gang of thugs to find fault with him all day long. The restaurant owner was afraid that he would cause trouble for the store., resigned him.The landlord even threw his luggage on the street non-stop, changed the lock on the door, and didn't even ask for this month's rent.

At the moment when he received the call, Yan Xiu didn't know whether the other party's words were true or not, and blurted out as if grabbing some life-saving straw: "Come on! I'll be right there!"

I didn't need any luggage, so took a taxi directly to the interview location.

On the way to drive, he came back to his senses, regretting his impulsiveness, and began to feel nervous, worried about what he would do if he was cheated again, so he couldn't hold back and called his friend who was on-site in the crew: "...I neverIf you have been in this business and have no experience at all, why would you think of me?"

"Hey! It's also a coincidence. I saw that you posted in Moments before that you were looking for a job. We just happened to be short of a trick here. The director asked to find a good-looking young man. It doesn't matter if you have experience or not. It doesn't have much money, anyway.small role."

Listening to his tone, Yan Xiu knew that it was his own villainous heart, and quickly said: "Anyway, thank you so much, I will treat you to dinner when I get there soon..."

"Let's not worry about this. If you pass the interview, you will become an actor in the future. When you become popular and become a big star, making money is as easy as drinking water. At that time, don't forget me, brother hahahaha..."

Yan Xiu was relieved, his appearance was his great advantage, although he was not up to the level of "handsome guy", but he had good facial features and was more than handsome.

Although he has never understood the entertainment industry, he also knows that celebrities rarely look bad. Thinking about it this way, he still has a chance.

The interview was very successful, the director took a casual glance and nodded and asked him to go to the screenwriter for the script.

Is he about to be a big star?

Like every young newcomer in the industry, he went to the screenwriter with the excitement of becoming famous overnight, and only after reading the script did he realize that what they needed was a disfigured little eunuch, or a mute, in aIn the sixty-four episodes of the historical drama, the appearance time is less than three minutes.

Yan Xiu is not stupid, historical dramas are boring, and he also knows what the ratings are like. What is the probability that a small character who plays for less than three minutes will be remembered?

infinitely close to zero.

As if someone had poured cold water on Yan Xiu's head, Yan Xiu was stunned.

That year, he was twenty-one years old.

...

Although he appeared in the play for less than three minutes, he is not the leading role after all. A character who is called at any time needs to cooperate with the crew and other actors. This short three minutes has been infinitely extended, and it took Yan Xiu a month to get it.Completely finished.

During this period, he also guest-starred in other eunuchs, soldiers, tortoises, beggars and other roles.

Although they are all faceless little characters, this kind of role-playing "game" deeply attracted him.

He fell in love with acting.

It's a pity that once he bent over for the first time in acting, he never straightened up... because the characters he came into contact with later were basically corpses.

Shooting to death with random arrows, falling to death, killing by poison, beheading, car cracking... No matter how miserable it is, the shocking red envelopes received can fill a car.

Yan Xiu knew that he was from a low background and had no background, and what he needed most to survive in this circle was personal connections, which was exactly what he lacked the most.

So he worked harder than anyone else.

The director disliked his accent, so he got up early every day to listen to the radio, and followed the announcer to learn proper Mandarin.

He enrolled in classes at a nearby performing arts school to supplement his cultural knowledge.

Buy a large number of performance-related books and CDs, imitate the amazing acting skills of those famous movie stars, and practice in front of the mirror by yourself.

Day after day, year after year.

However, no director cared about his efforts, and without a company as the backstage, it was too difficult for a non-professional actor to break out of his own world.

And he didn't have that luck.

There is never a shortage of people who work hard in this world, but hard work does not necessarily mean success, so successful people must be lucky.

——"I'm sorry, the male number four I told you last time has already been selected as our director, so I made you work for nothing, and I will treat you to dinner another day."

——"What can we do about the temporary addition of investors? We can't offend the father of the funder for a small supporting role. Do we still want to shoot this movie?"

——"What's the use of good acting skills? Why don't you have a face that can be the protagonist?"

——"Brother, I'm so sorry! My nephew also wanted that role, so I decided to let him try it on my own. Who knew that the director immediately fell in love with me! Alas, it seems that you are really unlucky, brother.Damn, I'll help you ask someone to ask if there are any characters who show their faces..."

——"What do you mean by the tricks you have been running for so many years? Look at this film and television city, I don't know how many people are daydreaming like you, but they haven't woken up after so many years like youThere are not many people here, you are thirty-five, not twenty-five, do you want to be a group performer for the rest of your life?"

——"Look at your worthless bear! Will letting you go for a drink with you kill you? I really thought I was a sweet potato, and I can tell you, if you miss this opportunity, you won't have a next time!"

...

The process of self-awareness awakening is a very painful thing.Especially when you have a dream you desperately want to achieve, only to realize in the process that you are just human and powerless to change the status quo.

Most people's life in the world is very ordinary, ordinary birth, boring life, ordinary death, except for a few people you know, hardly leave any mark on the world, and after decades,When those who remember you also turn into a handful of loess, your connection with this world will completely cease to exist.

After countless disappointments, Yan Xiu gradually realized that he is an ordinary person.Like the vast majority of people in this world, on the surface he is a social animal, but deep down he is unwilling to become an ordinary person.

However, most of the social animals only resisted the fate for a short time, even symbolically, and obeyed the arrangement of "fate" with half push and half.

After all, God has so many grandchildren, who remembers which one you are?

Yan Xiu sometimes feels that the fate of a person is actually doomed from the very beginning.Some people seem to be born with a better fate than others. They were born with a golden spoon in their mouth, and they are carefree all their lives. There is only "want to" in the dictionary, not "can".

And some people were born in the mud, surrounded by a rotten smell, even if they struggled to break through the ground, they would still look like decayed wood.

"Heart is higher than the sky, life is thinner than paper."

——Probably he is the kind of person.

So death seems to have become a very easy thing.

It was the night of the Dragon Boat Festival three years ago, and everyone with families went home for the festival.Yan Xiu's family would only call him when they were short of money, and he seemed to disappear on weekdays, and he, the eldest son, would not be allowed to go back during the holidays, as if he was an emotionless ATM machine, or justThe kind that throws money away.

Yan Xiu carried a bottle of wine and walked drunkenly in an uninhabited alley. Although this place is close to the film and television city, it is also the most inconspicuous place in the ancient city, because all the people living here are homeless like him.people.

The phone kept buzzing. He took it out of his trouser pocket, stood under the dim streetlight, and squinted at the message.Everyone in the dragon suit group sent out festive red envelopes for blessings, and many people @ him, Yan Xiu rubbed his eyes vigorously, and also sent a red envelope to suit the occasion, he never offends people on small things——

[Dragon Boat Festival]

Putting away the phone, Yan Xiu sighed, rubbed his face, and continued walking in the dark alley.

Dragon Boat Festival Ankang.

He is not healthy at all.

A stray dog came out of nowhere and snorted and followed behind him. This little creature with a keen sense of smell probably smelled something, and kept spinning around his feet, unable to kick it away.

"Go, go, there's nothing you want to eat here."

"Wow woof!"

"Don't make me angry at night, go away!"

"Wow woof!"

"..."

It was only later that he remembered that the stray dog was a dog he often fed on the way home before, and the sudden appearance was not because he smelled the food on his body, but because of the animal's intuition, he knew that he was about to die.

What happened next was something Yan Xiu never expected.

A desperate robber with red eyes suddenly rushed out from the corner, stabbed him more than a dozen times, took his mobile phone and wallet, and fled.

There was no thrilling fighting scene in the whole process. Yan Xiu's alcohol-naesthetized brain could not support him to make such a difficult move to fight back. He just stood there stupidly and was stabbed.The roar of the lungs.

In the end, Yan Xiu lay there, gasping for breath like a dying fish. The dozen or so holes in his body that were pierced by knives were like installing more than a dozen faucets.The road was winding, and there was a lot of blood...he had never shed so much blood.

Gradually, he felt chills all over his body, and he felt the puppy whining and licking his face, and the wet smell occupied his sense of smell.

For a moment, he thought he was still filming.

He's the best at playing dead people.

He imagined that if he became famous, after his death, "the famous movie star Yan Xiu passed away one night, and thousands of movie fans cried bitterly."

But he is just an inconspicuous walk-on. When the time comes, the news introduction can only be "the deceased Yan", an unlucky guy who was born in an ordinary life and died in an accident.

His mind has never been so clear-headed like this moment, painful, unwilling, and resentful... His eyes were bloodshot, staring at the brightest star in the sky.

Then he died.

...

...

...

Yan Xiu thought that his new master was interested in his life, so he had to honestly tell about his experiences during his lifetime, while answering the other party's questions, while looking nervously at Jing Cheng's face.

Jing Cheng has always thought of himself as a reasonable person, unless the object of his reasoning is not a human being.

So Jing Cheng didn't have any special reaction after hearing the other party's bitter and bitter story.This disappointed Yan Xiu who had been observing him. He thought that such a young celestial master should be soft and kind at heart, but it seems that he met someone with a heart of stone.

Yan Xiu lowered his head silently.

I don't know that Jing Cheng thinks that there are too many unlucky people in this world. All the ghosts he has dealt with have tragic lives, and even himself is one of them. In the eyes of people who have experienced greater suffering, Yan Xiu'sThe dullness of life is hardly worth mentioning.

"Death is not the end."

A mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Jing Cheng's mouth, and under Yan Xiu's unbelievable "gaze", he gently opened the corner of his lips:

"Do you know how to revive a soul by borrowing a corpse?"

The author has something to say:

I feel that this chapter is a bit heavy, so write an irrelevant small theater:

After the resurrection of the corpse——

Yan Xiu: Thank you Master Tianshi for realizing my dream. The villain must throw his head and blood for Master Tianshi so as not to fall into the prestige of an adult.

Jing Cheng waved his hands humbly: Little things.

Years later

Yan Xiu, who lived in a rented house and ate bread, burst into tears: It is really difficult to make money!

Jing Cheng stared at the text message on his mobile phone that reminded him of the huge amount of money that had just been transferred (Chapter 95), and thought: Making money is really easy!
