Rebirth of Li Xiaoqi

City B in August has gradually entered autumn. Although the trees on both sides of the road are not withered and their leaves are not yellow, they can faintly feel a little decline.

When he was in T City in previous years, August was summer for Li Xiaoqi. He wore shorts from morning to night, and the air conditioner was turned on almost 24 hours a day in the room. When he went out occasionally, the air was so hot that he could not even breathe. Slightly painful.At this time, you can still wear short-sleeved T-shirts during the day, and the temperature slowly drops at night, and the wind blowing the leaves is also cool. If you don’t wear a long-sleeved jacket, you may catch a cold the next day. Bar.

In mid-to-late June, he began to attend ED's actor training class. During this period, the company arranged for him to be a small supporting role in two online dramas and a third male lead in a small investment idol drama. It took three or four days to shoot, so it didn't have much impact on the class.

Since he first stepped into this circle and now he has a little understanding, Li Xiaoqi also understands why Director Mo said that his personality is not suitable for this circle.He has been in the showbiz for more than two months, and so far, his social circle has not expanded at all.

When filming, he squatted in the corner alone except for the shooting time, thinking about the script and trying to apply the knowledge he learned, but the director didn't comment much on the acting skills of such an inconspicuous little character like him. It is also difficult to know the bad self.In the training class, most people regarded the other party as a competitor, and Li Xiaoqi was not someone who would take the initiative to establish a good relationship, so there were only a few nodding acquaintances, and none of them could talk to each other.

Li Xiaoqi also had to feel sorry for him, even if he had to do it all over again, what he did in this aspect was really bad.

After receiving a text message from Li Xiang, Li Xiaoqi waited for a while in the coffee shop opposite the company building, and then saw Li Xiang rushing over.

Li Xiang took out the script from his briefcase and handed it to him, and said: "This is a reasoning network drama that the company has participated in the investment, and you have chosen the role of the second male lead. You need to try the play in front of the director, but you should It's not a big problem, you have the script, read it and try to figure it out, and when the specific time and place arrives, you will be notified by text message."

"Oh good, thank you." After receiving the script, Li Xiaoqi also became interested in it. Mystery dramas, among other things, he has been chasing Conan every week. Whether it is a detective or a criminal, he is still a little confident. able to act well.

I know that Li wants to be busy, but I don't know whether his busyness is real or pretended.But seeing Li Xiang coming up like a gust of wind, and then leaving with a swish, Li Xiaoqi felt a little tired for him.

When I returned to the dormitory, I didn't turn on the computer. I sat by the bed and read the script. The speed developed by reading novels all the year round, I quickly read the script roughly.Li Xiaoqi fell back on the bed, and Li Xiaoqi was a little disappointed. This is purely a romance drama under the name of reasoning drama.

After just a brief look, Li Xiaoqi found that the case in it was so mentally retarded that no detective was needed to reason, and the big case at the end could not stand up to scrutiny. Compared with the reasoning of the case, the screenwriter focused more on the heroine being the first and second male. Bloody emotional drama.

The role that the company decided for Li Xiaoqi is the second male lead in this show, a standard male lead in the traditional sense, a warm guy, who will always be by the heroine's side, loves the heroine deeply, and can always be there Helping the heroine in a crisis, and finally choosing to give up for the heroine's happiness, leaving alone, silently blessing the heroine from a distance.

Seeing such a plot, Li Xiaoqi couldn't help shaking. Apart from being covered in dog blood, he was more speechless. He was full of confidence before, but now he began to doubt whether he could play this role well.

Although he is not very confident and doesn't like this role very much, he also knows that he has no choice. Since he has chosen this path, he has to walk on his knees even if he breaks his leg.Not every actor can meet his favorite character. If he meets a character he doesn’t like, he must do his best to play it carefully. This is what the teacher said on the first day of the training class.

After this period of study, Li Xiaoqi can feel his progress in acting. He doesn't know how far he is from a real actor. The only thing he can be sure of is that he needs more opportunities and more experience. Quantity has changed to quality, and only by accumulating enough experience can progress be made.

I went to the desk with the script, turned on the computer, looked up the unknown words and chemicals in the script, and took notes, marking all the emotional changes and inner thoughts.The light in the room was getting darker and darker. When it was difficult to read the words on the script, Li Xiaoqi realized that the sun had sunk unknowingly. When he turned on the light switch, his stomach made a protesting sound, and then picked up the script. Ordered a takeaway on the phone.

Time flies quickly when you are busy. A few days later, Li Xiaoqi arrived at the location where the studio was being built according to the information sent by Li Xiang. There were not many staff members on site. The other is at the bronze level, and the gap is not insignificant.

As Li Xiang said, Li Xiaoqi won the role quite smoothly, perhaps due to limited funds. Three days later, a simple opening ceremony was carried out and the filming started.The lead actress is Cui Xiling, a senior from the same company. She is currently in an awkward position between the first and second tiers. Although she is trying to find a change, she doesn't get many opportunities.

Taking advantage of the free schedule and the drama series invested by the company, Cui Xiling took over the heroine of this drama. Cui Xiling took good care of Li Xiaoqi at the scene, and would discuss some techniques with him during the filming breaks. Of course, most of the time It was Cui Xiling who taught Li Xiaoqi a very useful little trick.

Because the two were relatively close, Li Xiaoqi was included in a side story on a small website, but the news only said that Cui Xiling had a close relationship with an unknown young actor, and Li Xiaoqi never appeared.If Zhang Qiaoqian hadn't recognized the person in the photo as Li Xiaoqi and sent the link to the news on WeChat, Li Xiaoqi wouldn't even have known about it.

"Xiaoqi, Xiaoqi! Call Xiaoqi!" The phone kept vibrating, and when I noticed that there were [-] unread messages displayed on the WeChat icon, I clicked on WeChat, and except for the first sentence, it was all about "people" Cartoon expression.

Li Xiaoqi replied to Zhang Qiaoqian speechlessly, "Appear!"

"Too slow!" the person on WeChat complained.

"I'm in class." Li Xiaoqi explained.

"Is the ED training course not over yet?" Zhang Qiaoqian didn't know the specifics of the course, although she knew everything about it.

"No, it will end in mid-September, and the test will be conducted at the end of the month."

"Is there any chance of promotion?"

"Xuan, the chances are not great." Another emoji of spreading hands.

"I will pray for you!"

"What do you want me to do with you?" After getting acquainted with Zhang Qiaoqian, Li Xiaoqi also resumed his mantra.

"Oh, by the way, Shengshi has already been submitted for review, and I need to take some additional promotional photos. Director Mo asked me to contact you. Are you free these two days?"

"Can I do it the day after tomorrow? I have class tomorrow, and I will make up some scenes of "Unsolved Case in a Small Town" the day after tomorrow." "Unsolved Case in a Small Town" is the web drama in which Li Xiaoqi plays the leading role.

"Are you going to wrap it up?" Zhang Qiaoqian asked, usually it can be done after reshoots.

"Ah."

"Can you finish the shot before four o'clock in the afternoon?" Although Li Xiaoqi is free the day after tomorrow, the time for promotional photos is only the day after tomorrow.

Li Xiaoqi thought for a while and replied, "It should be possible."

"There is no shooting arrangement for the day after tomorrow. How about this? I'll go find you, celebrate your completion, and then quickly go to the studio to take the photos." Zhang Qiaoqian was actually thinking about Li Xiaoqi. As for the topic, if Li Xiaoqi can have a set of better publicity photos posted on Weibo and forums, it will help him increase his attention to some extent.

"If you are OK, then I have no problem." Li Xiaoqi naturally knew that Zhang Qiaoqian was helping him.

"Okay, give me the address, we'll see you the day after tomorrow!" Zhang Qiaoqian has always done things neatly, no wonder she became friends with Li Xiaoqi.

On the day when Li Xiaoqi finished filming in "Unsolved Case in a Small Town", Zhang Qiaoqian came to the scene ahead of time. Watching Li Xiaoqi finish shooting the last scene, she could clearly see Li Xiaoqi's progress, and felt happy for Li Xiaoqi in her heart.

The last time Li Xiaoqi left the crew on the same day after the filming of "The Prosperity of Suizhou", Zhang Qiaoqian regretted not being able to help him celebrate the completion. This time she specially bought a bouquet of calamus for Li Xiaoqi.The two had talked about the type of flowers they liked when they were talking nonsense before. At that time, Li Xiaoqi said that he liked irises. At first Zhang Qiaoqian thought it was irises, but after Baidu, he found that these two plants were completely different.

The flower language of iris is the blessing of the believer. Li Xiaoqi remembered this flower when he watched "The Bond of Reasoning", "the happiness of the believer". Only by believing can one survive, and only by believing can one finally obtain happiness.

Li Xiaoqi was very happy to receive the calamus sent by Zhang Qiaoqian. Maybe he wanted to become an actor by mistake at first, but after studying and working during this period, he gradually fell in love with the profession of actor. Now he, I want to believe in myself, believe that I can go farther and farther on the road of actor, and believe that I can get happiness.

In life, we must learn to believe.We must not only learn to trust others, but also learn to trust ourselves. In just a few decades, difficulties and setbacks are inevitable. You can trust your parents when you are young, but your parents cannot accompany you all the way.It must be admitted that from the beginning to the end of the road from birth to death, you are the only one, so you have to believe in yourself, believe in your own possibilities, and believe even more when you are confused and suffering. Only in this way can you see through the fog Only by moving forward can you be happy.

Beyourself; everyone else is already taken.

Be yourself because everyone else has been done.

Believe in yourself, because the only one you fully believe in is yourself.
