Best Actor in A Dream of Love [Entertainment]

76

The pre-examination tutoring class selected by Chu Xun is taught by a professor from the Central Film and Television Director Department.Since it is taught by a famous teacher, the tuition fee must naturally be worthy of the professor's worth.

For the six months of professional counseling, the spare money Chu Xun saved was almost spent.All of a sudden, the cost of food and clothing became more and more tense.What's more, if one is really lucky enough to pass the exam next year, the tuition fee of the Art Academy alone will be a considerable expense.In this way, while preparing for the exam, Chu Xun had to divide his mind and consider making more money as soon as possible.

After "Erosion" was finished, there were also some dramas to be filmed that approached Chu Xun, intending to invite him to star.Among them, two or three production crews have even handed over the script to him after many twists and turns.

For every interested crew, Chu Xun seriously communicated with the producer or assistant director.He also carefully read the outline of the script handed to him.

Chu Xun is well aware of his current situation. "Erosion" was nothing more than an accident.In other words, it was God's last gift to him.After leaving "Erosion", Chu Xun never expected that he would be able to play the lead and lead roles in other crews.In his vision, as long as the role setting is fairly rich and he can show his acting skills, even if he is the male fourth, male fifth, or a villain who is not loved by the audience, he can try it.

It's a pity that this wish still seems too good.Most of the people who approached Chu Xun were low-level crews.Don't say it's a layered male N number.Those scripts, even a flesh-and-blood male protagonist, may not be able to create a complete one.The only crew that could be considered professional was the crew of a costume idol drama.Intentionally invite Chu Xun to play the role of the first villain in the play: a coquettish and vicious eunuch who leads the East Factory.

Chu Xun read the email sent by the crew several times, and then laughed lowly.He has no likes or dislikes about the characters.As long as the starting point is based on performance and art, he can readily accept any marginal role.Just like An Chen, whom he loves deeply, is actually a different kind lurking in a dark corner.

However, the factory eunuchs in the ancient puppet are mostly similar to the spicy seasoning in fast food, which is responsible for giving the taste buds a strong stimulation.It's greasy and heavy, but it's not nutritious... Chu Xun couldn't think of any reason, so he had to compromise.Even for generous rewards.

Fortunately, the remedial class only has two days a week.Chu Xun has enough time to find other jobs besides acting.

That day, I went home from the remedial class.Chu Xun took a shortcut and entered an alley.The brick and tile bungalows on both sides of the alley were also set up as small frontages for small businesses such as grocery stores.Chu Xun walked in a hurry.When passing by a store, the eyes are unconsciously attracted by the novel store decoration.Chu Xun stopped slowly, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the four large dark blue characters on the wooden signboard—doll tattoos.After hesitating for a moment, Chu Xun pushed open two hollow iron doors and walked into the store.

When Chu Xun pushed open the door of the iron art shop again and came out, the whole city was already sleepy.Standing under the street lamp, Chu Xun lit a cigarette, pinched the back of his neck with his left hand, and raised his head to move his cervical spine.

His tattoo skills were brought out bit by bit by Wang Meng himself.After years of experience, as long as he has a pattern, even the most complicated full-back full-color tattoo, he can do it at will.

Although the puppet tattoo store is not very eye-catching, it is very popular in the tattoo circle of C City.It took Chu Xun half a day to get a black and gray flying sky tattoo on half his arm.The store manager put away the vague smile on his lips, as if watching a good show, and stretched out his right hand to Chu Xun, welcoming him to join the puppet.

"Chu Rong, right?" The store manager put his arms around Chu Xun's shoulders, and said intimately, "Do it well. As long as we are good at using resources, in our line of work, we can earn as much money as acting." He said, His eyes were shining brightly.It seems that he is more interested in Chu Xun's experience in the entertainment industry.

Chu Xun put on the mask again, and said in a flat tone, "It's Chu Xun. It has nothing to do with Chu Rong."

The store manager was taken aback for a moment, but he understood immediately, but he still didn't care much, and said with a smile: "It's up to you. If you say it's okay, then it's okay."

The livelihood problem is temporarily resolved.After smoking the cigarette in his hand, Chu Xun turned around and walked slowly towards the rental house.It was also a long time since the needle was given, and after seven or eight hours suddenly, Chu Xun's hands trembled slightly.Back in the basement, his whole body trembled uncontrollably, his throat was itchy and thirsty.

Chu Xun flicked on the overhead light with shaking hands, rushed to the refrigerator without stopping, dragged out a bottle of white wine inside, and couldn't wait to drink a few mouthfuls.

The restlessness in the body gradually subsided, and those morbid tremors like spasms quietly let go of Chu Xun's limbs.Standing in front of the refrigerator for a while.Chu Xun frowned and stared at the half bottle of white wine in his hand, cursed secretly for a long time, put the bottle back, and slammed the refrigerator door hard.

There is no class the next day.But to go to work in the tattoo shop, Chu Xun still got up early.

Doll tattoos are really famous.Ever since Chu Xun arrived in the store, there have been a lot of customers who have come to consult and get tattoos.Chu Xun is not responsible for the reception.He only wears a mask to cover half of his face, and in the inner compartment, he tattoos the customers who have determined the pattern.

Once the needle is given, Chu Xun has no distractions, and he doesn't like to be surrounded by people watching.In the morning, he stabbed a water lily in the middle of his shoulders for a customer, but was interrupted several times by people pushing the door in.Vaguely, Chu Xun seemed to have heard the apprentice in charge of reception telling the customer: "...Of course I'm not lying to you. Chu Rong is in our store... yes, she came out again recently, the one who played "Erosion"... …If you don’t believe me, go and see for yourself.”

Chu Xun pursed his lips tightly, pushed open the compartment door and went directly to the store manager: "What do you mean?!"

The store manager didn't take it seriously, and smiled at Chu Xun, "It's not interesting. For business, since there is something attractive, of course we should publicize it well."

He told Chu Xun yesterday that in this business one must be "good at using resources".That's how it was used.

Chu Xun's eyebrows twitched, his eyes splattered with anger, and he stared at the store manager for a long time, but he still turned his head and went back to the cubicle.

Finding this job is not easy.Half-footed in the entertainment industry, jobs that require frequent communication with people, such as couriers, waiters, or salespersons, are no longer suitable.What's more, those jobs have limited income.Chu Xun has no academic qualifications.After thinking about it, I can only continue to be a tattoo artist.

Until the end of the day.Chu Xun only felt that he seemed to be imprisoned in the zoo, surrounded by surprised crowds for a whole day.It felt like he was not human anymore.

Chu Xun can only comfort himself, wait for a little longer, and when people's curiosity subsides, everything will return to normal.

Two weeks later, the situation has not improved.More and more new customers went to doll tattoos, and directly called Chu Xun for services.Working at full capacity for several days in a row, and having to prepare homework for the remedial class, Chu Xun was mentally exhausted and physically exhausted.Only by relying on alcohol more and more can I secretly take a breath under the exhaustion that cannot be shaken off.

This day ends the course of the remedial class.Chu Xun stayed in his seat and waited for most of the others to leave before he began to pack his things slowly.Then he picked up his schoolbag, bowed his head and walked out of the classroom.

In this afternoon's class, the professor analyzed a work written by Ye Dao four years ago.Coincidentally, the male protagonist of this work is actually Xue Rui.

During the two-hour class, Chu Xun tried his best to concentrate, but his mind still lost control and ran away from time to time.In these years, he has never watched Xue Rui's movie.I didn't want to be in the pre-exam remedial class, and was used by the professor to do case analysis.

Four years ago, Xue Rui's acting skills had broken through the cocoon and turned into a butterfly, leaping to a new level.With this film, he won the first Best Actor crown in one fell swoop.

What was Chu Xun doing four years ago?

Chu Xun didn't take the elevator, but walked slowly on the steps in the stairwell.In his mind, he couldn't stop replaying Xue Rui's performance in the movie.But in a blink of an eye, his thoughts went from Xue Rui to Fu Jingchen.

Chu Xun stopped and couldn't help smiling wryly.These days, he tried his best not to allow himself to think about Fu Jingchen again. Could it be that because of a movie, he will fall short again.

Chu Xun opened his jaws and pressed on his temples, as if he wanted to squeeze Fu Jingchen out of his head.Taking a deep breath for a moment, he took out a small bottle of portable wine from his schoolbag, unscrewed the lid, and took a small sip.

There was the sound of footsteps on the stairs behind him.Chu Xun didn't look back, but turned slightly to make way for others.

But the man called out "Rong Rong" and raised a hand to put on Chu Xun's shoulder.

The back of Chu Xun's head was numb, and without thinking, he suddenly turned his head and stretched out his hands to clamp the man's neck, "Who is it?"

"...I, I..." The man's unfinished words were stuck in his throat.A hardcover booklet in his hand fell to the ground.
