happy and unhappy

Mackey has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. When his peers were playing with mud, he had already shown extraordinary talent in martial arts.As a provincial representative, he once won the championship of the National Youth Wushu Routine Championship.Originally, he was planning to go out of Asia and go to the world to gain greater honor, but due to sudden changes in his family, he had to give up his dream and took on the burden of supporting his family early.

At the age of 17, he was introduced to join Cheng Zegang's "Cheng Jiaban" as a martial artist.

Wu Dai's job is to bet his life on tomorrow.

Because of the high risk factor, the remuneration of martial arts actors is often very generous.Sometimes it is charged by the day, sometimes by the hour, and the worst monthly income is five figures, and the income is quite considerable.

When Mackey first entered the industry, he thought he could make a fortune and provide a good life for his family.After he really stepped in, he realized the helplessness of Wu Ti's industry.Those salaries by the day, by the hour, and at least [-] to [-] a month are all nonsense. Maybe Hollywood is a little easier to deal with, but the current situation of domestic martial artists is very difficult.

The first time he went to work, McGee turned somersaults in front of the camera for a long time, his arms and legs were all worn out, and he only had 200 yuan, and then he was squeezed out by the acupuncture points, and there was not much left in his hands .

This is the underlying rule within the industry. There is no explicit stipulation, but it is a general default rule that is customary, extremely helpless, and has to be followed.

In the beginning, Mai Qi suffered a lot and suffered a lot of bullying. Fortunately, he worked hard, worked hard, and had a solid foundation in martial arts, so he was deeply liked by Cheng Zegang.

Cheng Ze just accepted him as an official disciple of "Cheng's Class". After bowing down, he now has an additional master, and opportunities to perform have followed one after another, and life has gradually improved.

Three years have passed in a flash, he is no longer a rookie in the martial arts circle, but he is a rookie in the entertainment circle.His brothers and sisters can often show their faces on TV, but although he is active on the screen, he is little known.

However, he is relatively low-key and doesn't like living in the spotlight.I usually come into contact with many celebrities, and seeing them not forgetting to maintain their image all the time, racking their brains to fight wits with the paparazzi, and even wrapping themselves into rice dumplings when they go out to buy something, Mackey feels very scary.He likes to be free, wherever he wants to go, he can go with his slippers, no one restrains him, and no one chases him, as long as he lives happily.

But now actor Liang has arranged for him a small role without asking for his consent. He is afraid that after he becomes popular, his originally peaceful life will be completely disrupted. Just like those popular stars, no matter what they do, they will hide You have to wear sunglasses and a mask when you go out, so there is no freedom at all.

Cheng Zegang looked at him like an idiot, and poured cold water on him unceremoniously.

"Don't be too whimsical. Liang Jin's role for you is at best showing your face, not even a single line, and your name is not on the cast list after the movie is over. Don't think he is used to doing whatever he wants, in fact, he does things. He is very measured, he will not disrupt the original plan because of you, your character is just a dispensable existence in the whole play, I advise you to stop those unrealistic assumptions immediately."

Mackey yelled: "Master, do you have to hit people like this?!"

Cheng Zegang said with a straight face: "I'm helping you to recognize the facts. Just tell me what you said. Don't let the second person know, so as not to make some jokes and embarrass our Cheng family class."

Mackey pointed to the brothers and sisters who were training and eavesdropping on them not far away, blinking his eyes pretending to be innocent, "Master, they heard all of them, what should we do? Do we need to silence them?"

Brothers and sisters: "..."

Cheng Zegang glared at Mai Qi angrily, "You also train me, don't keep pestering me to chat, this kind of lazy way has been used by your brothers and sisters."

Telling the truth, Mackey laughed, "Master, I have one more thing to say."

"Go ahead."

"Can you resign from the crew for me? Anyway, the role is insignificant, and it doesn't matter whoever plays it. I'd better just be a military substitute honestly. You can arrange another job for me."

"The role hand-picked by Liang Jin is hard for most people to ask for, so you actually resigned?" Cheng Zegang gave him a contemptuous look, met his bewildered expression, and couldn't help sighing, "Tell me first, I'll listen." Listen, what are you doing martial arts for?"

Mackey thought for a while, he joined this industry purely to make money at first, but later found that money was not easy to earn, and it was entirely his love for martial arts that supported him to the present.Of course, he didn't know what else he could do besides being a martial substitute.Sometimes, he feels that he is about to lose his enthusiasm due to the wear and tear of life. The dream of that year has long been buried in the depths of his memory, and occasionally he wants to pick it up, just thinking about it.

After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't come up with an answer. Perhaps even today, he is still the same. After all, he is a common man, working around outside to make a living.

When Cheng Ze saw that he couldn't answer, he called the others to his side.

Cheng Zegang: "Tell him why you want to be a martial artist."

Brother A said: "We can get in touch with many female celebrities in this industry. My wish is to find a beautiful female celebrity to be my wife in the future. It doesn't need to be too famous, even if she is not famous. As long as I love her, she loves me. .”

"..." Mackey seemed to see romantic pink bubbles exuding from Senior Brother A's body, and seeing his thick skin and rough face, he only wanted to send him four words: Good luck!

Senior sister B’s thinking is similar to senior brother A’s, “I like handsome guys! I want to watch handsome guys! In the entertainment industry, there are endless handsome guys every day! Just thinking about it makes me excited hahahaha!!”

Mackey chuckled, one wants a woman and the other a man, you two might just make a good pair.

Sister C looked into the distance, with a quiet smile on her lips, "I have been weak and sick since I was a child. At the beginning, I practiced martial arts just to strengthen my body. Later, not only my body became stronger, but also I can support myself. My parents are also happy for me. While earning Money, while doing what I like to do, this is my ideal state of life.”

Mackey looked at her enviously, no wonder people often say that life should not be too complicated, simplicity is happiness.

Brother D waved his hand wildly, "My idea is the most practical. I want to earn money, a lot of money, and then buy a luxury house, drive a sports car, eat all kinds of delicacies, and live comfortably for the rest of my life!"

Mackey gave a thumbs up silently, these big vulgar words really spoke his heart.

Brother E raised his proud head and smiled contemptuously, "You people don't have any ambitions at all. Have you ever thought about why there are so many people rushing in because Wu Ti is a group with frequent accidents? ?Because...they all want to be famous. We are working hard, isn't it just to shine in front of the screen one day? If you want to make money, marry a wife, and live comfortably, you must first be famous, so that you can get a good reputation. resources and opportunities. I am not afraid of your jokes if I speak out, my dream is to become a kung fu superstar!"

Cheng Zegang nodded slightly, with a look of approval on his face, turned his head to look at Mackey, and asked, "What about you? What do you think?" Then, he further hinted, "I think Xiao E's dream is quite reliable."

McGee pondered for a while, not daring to disobey his master's wishes, and killed the chicken soup for the soul stewed by senior brother E in one gulp, "I, I also want to become a Kung Fu superstar..."

After saying that, Cheng Zegang smiled with satisfaction, and patted him on the shoulder, looking like a teachable child.

"Now that the decision has been made, I don't want to hear anything like resignation. If you want to make a world in the field of kung fu movies, you must not only have your own skills, but also get top-level resources. Many actors have to work hard all their lives. There are less than dream resources. However, for people like Liang Jin, film resources are endless. Do you know why?"

Mackey blurted out: "Because Actor Liang is the guarantee of the box office, of course he must be cast in a good script!"

Cheng Zegang shook his head and said, "Don't be too naive, otherwise, you won't be able to survive in this cannibalistic entertainment circle. The reason why Liang Jin keeps getting film appointments is because his elder brother Liang Yao is one of the three giants in domestic entertainment industry." One is the boss of China Star Entertainment. As long as it is Liang Jin's movie, his brother basically invests in it. Liang Yao owns many industries, not to mention real estate, hotels, and the Internet. He didn't let it go. He opened the entertainment company purely to help Liang Jin pave the way. The two brothers have two hands covering the sky in the entertainment industry. Therefore, Liang Jin can play big names and change scripts randomly, even if he is lying sideways like a crab Go, no one dares to care. If you want to become a kung fu superstar, you must receive the best script, and all the good scripts are in the hands of Liang Jin. Now he has offered you an olive branch. You must seize this opportunity. Try to build a good relationship with him, as long as you make him happy, are you afraid that you won't get good resources?"

Ouch, Mackey finally understood Cheng Zegang's "good intentions", and talked about it in a circle, didn't he just want him to curry favor with actor Liang?

So you are such a master...

Hehe, like a bustard in a brothel...

****

The next day, early morning.

Liang Jin came to the set early in the morning. Since the new scene hadn't been set up yet, except for the field workers who were busy, no one else came.

Liang Jin's complexion was a little ugly, and the low air pressure around him was leaking out one by one.

Seeing his black-faced miraculous appearance, Xiao Liu felt frightened, quietly retreated to a corner, and called everyone one by one.

Liang Jin just blinked his eyes, and Xiao Liu disappeared. A surge of anger rushed into his heart. He was about to lose his temper when he saw a handsome figure running towards him briskly in front of him.

Meeting his eyes, the man grinned and shouted from a long distance away, "Mr. Liang, Mr. Liang—"

Call the soul, you!

Today's hairy boy is always bluffing, not stable at all.

However, because he was the only one who arrived on the set on time, Liang Jin resisted the urge to train others.

The young man quickly ran to Liang Jin's side in three steps, as if he had known him for a long time, and said without distinction: "Mr. Liang, why did you come here so early? The set hasn't been set up yet. , you go to the dressing room to rest first. By the way, have you had breakfast? I have the buns and soy milk I just bought here, do you want to eat?"

As the young man said, he stretched out his hand.His hands are beautiful, with round nails, well-defined joints, and a sense of strength.

Liang Jin looked at it carefully for a few times before moving his gaze to the food bag in his hand, and then a rich and attractive smell of meat wafted into his nose with the wind.

Smelling the fragrance of buns and taking a look at that bright smiling face, Liang Jin felt inexplicably much better, "What's your name?"

"Mackie. Malted wheat, strange odd. Everyone calls me wheat."

The crisp and crisp voice resounded in the air, and the young and handsome body was bathed in the first light of the morning, exuding a breath of clean sunshine.This is what young people should look like, with infinite youth, full of vigor and vitality.

Looking at him, Liang Jin suddenly felt that he had aged a lot unconsciously.

Having been immersed in the deep waters of the entertainment industry for a long time, and getting used to intrigue and intrigue, Liang Jin can't remember how long it has been since he laughed like this.

The social laughter on the scene, the mocking smile after the opponent fails, the perfunctory smile after winning too many awards, etc., but there is no such simple, pure, and heartfelt laughter.

"Did you buy meat buns?" Liang Jin asked.

"Yes, stuffed with pork and scallions." Mackey said like a treasure. "The meat is so thin that your mouth is full of juice. I waited in line for a long time to buy it."

Liang Jin raised his eyebrows, intentionally embarrassing him, "I want to control my weight recently, and I can't eat meat."

"Then you eat the skin, and I eat the stuffing." Mackey easily solved the problem, and then smiled brightly, "You can drink the soy milk."

Liang Jin: "..."

After living for 32 years, Liang Jin has never seen such a second-guessed person, how did he survive until now with his brain stuck in his crotch all day?
