Rebirth of Li Xiaoqi

On September 2016, 9, the annual Mid-Autumn Festival, the course of the training class has ended, but Li Xiaoqi thought about it and finally decided not to go home. After all, it will take a long time to go back and forth. For him, every minute and every second is extremely precious, and there are no achievements that can be shown, so I feel really embarrassed.

Standing on the balcony, you can see the bright full moon when you look up, the moonlight is bright and clear, but I don’t know if Wu Gang in the moon is still cutting laurel for decades?

The moon has its ups and downs, people have their joys and sorrows, and as time goes by, the time to reunite with family members is getting less and less.For wanderers far away from their relatives, no one does not miss home, and no one does not miss home.After eating a mouthful of mooncakes and drinking a sip of green tea, Li Xiaoqi returned to the table and continued to search for information.

On the 14th, all the courses of the training class were completed. After all the students in the class took a group photo with the teacher, they randomly selected the performance questions for this test from a sealed cardboard box on the podium.

After getting the proposition, there is 10 days of preparation time. The proposition performance test on the 25th will determine the fate of each student present. Most of them will stop at the beginner class. Only a few people can advance, and those who advance Will receive more comprehensive and systematic acting training.

The proposition that Li Xiaoqi drew was dumb, which was considered to be a difficult question in this test.

Dumbness can be divided into congenital and acquired. As the so-called ten deaf and nine dumb, most of the congenital dumb are born deaf. Since birth, they can't hear the sound around them, and naturally they can't speak. This is the case for most deaf people. .The acquired dumbness is mostly caused by accidents, such as drugs and stimulation.

If a blind person is drawn, he can perform with the help of a guide stick and sunglasses, and if he falls at the right time, he can perform the role of the blind person well.If a deaf person is drawn, he can use a hearing aid so that he can tell others about his own defects.But dumb, Li Xiaoqi really couldn't think of how to express it, and he couldn't be sure whether the teacher and judges wanted him to act dumb or acquired?

Even though he thought hard and referred to some film and television materials in which the main character was dumb, Li Xiaoqi was still at a loss for the propositions he drew.

Time flies by in a blink of an eye, and the exam venue is slightly larger than the usual classroom, with the judges sitting in the front and the students sitting in the back, leaving a large space in the middle as a performance stage.Fortunately, the performance was performed in class units, so there was not much tension.

Watching the students in the gang come forward to perform one by one, the judges and teachers discuss together from time to time, and one of the judges will comment after the performance.This feeling is always a bit like the scene of choosing vegetables in the vegetable market.

"Next, Li Xiaoqi." The previous performer was a reunion after a long absence. Seeing the teacher's expression seemed to be very satisfied, Li Xiaoqi's originally calm mood also caused a little turmoil.

Even if I'm not very confident about the performance I'm about to perform, and I have no choice but to start, I can only bite the bullet and start acting.

Taking a deep breath, the constricted heart slowly relaxed.

Standing on the edge, Li Xiaoqi walked slowly, step by step, in front of the judges, hunched over and shrugged slightly.There seemed to be a lot of pedestrians on the road, Li Xiaoqi wanted to dodge to the side from time to time, but his movements were slow, he was always bumped into by people, and he was almost unsteady on the way.

When he got to the middle of the stage, Li Xiaoqi stopped and looked up, as if he was confirming something.After nodding, he took a few steps forward slowly.

He reached out and knocked on the chest-high table, and soon saw Li Xiaoqi making a "ah, ah" voice, probably saying something, but naturally no one could understand.As if knowing that no one understood what he meant, Li Xiaoqi made another "ah, bah" sound while shaking his head and stretched out his hand to tap on the head a few times.

Perhaps the other party understood what he meant, Li Xiaoqi nodded repeatedly.

After a while, I saw him reach out to take something, and staggered away.Walking to a certain place, Li Xiaoqi squatted down, reached out his hand to dig in his bosom, then took out something and put it in his hand, opened it, raised his head and poured the thing into his mouth, the next second, he jumped up, With a distorted face, he knelt on the ground again, beating the ground with clenched fists.

He looked very painful, tilting his head, sticking out his tongue and then retracting it. After going back and forth several times, he slowly stopped. The painfully twisted face gradually eased and returned to its original appearance.

After a pause of three seconds, Li Xiaoqi stood up and bowed to the judges in front of him, "My performance is over."

After speaking, he stood still, waiting for the judges and teachers to comment.After the teachers discussed for a while, a middle-aged man sitting on the right coughed.

When he was sitting at the bottom, Li Xiaoqi could hear the people around him chattering and discussing the lineup of judges this time. Besides the two teachers who taught daily, the famous director Ye Laichuan was sitting in the middle, and the actor on the left of Ye Laichuan was Xiao Xiao, an actor from the ED film and television school. Lin, the one on the right is the well-known director Zhuo Fu, who was the one who coughed before.

"Li Xiaoqi, your acting subject is 'dumb', right?" Zhuo Fu glanced at the information in his hand, looked at Li Xiaoqi and said.

"Yes."

"Tell me about the source of inspiration for your performance."

source?Li Xiaoqi thought for a while, "It comes from the allegory of 'the mute eats coptis'."

"Yeah." Zhuo Fu nodded lightly, "You are acting the story of a poor dumb man who went to the pharmacy to buy medicine in ancient times, but was tricked into eating Coptis chinensis, right?"

"Hmm." Zhuo Fu's summary was exactly in line with the plot he wanted to show.

"Then, let me comment." After Zhuo Fu finished speaking, he looked around, and after the other judges nodded, he said, "First of all, most of what you want to express can be obtained from your performance." It can be seen that this is done well. Looking up at the door of the pharmacy, the details of the plaque are handled very well. However, the image of the characters is not handled well enough. Since they are small people at the bottom of society, they should behave like this when they are bumped into The character of the character, such as shrinking cowardly, or glaring and spitting after watching the other person walk away. Then let’s talk about the mute you performed. The mute can indeed pronounce 'a' or 'ba', but the day after tomorrow The formed mute can make more sounds, but cannot form words, which is not enough for you to observe. Furthermore, when the mute eats Coptis chinensis and can’t tell the pain, and finally expresses that he can’t tell the pain, it should not be limited to no Make a sound, making some broken sounds will be more contagious, and when you stick out your tongue after eating Coptis chinensis, if you let the saliva flow out, the visual impact will be greater. Well, that’s all I want to say.”

After finishing speaking, Zhuo Fu took a pen to write something, and the assistant teacher at the side signaled Li Xiaoqi to step down, and said "Thank you teacher", Li Xiaoqi also left the stage.

Afterwards, other students performed. Sitting in his seat, Li Xiaoqi thought about Zhuo Fu's words and recalled his own performance. If he did it again, he was sure that he could perform better.Of course, there are so many "one more times" in the world. It is the greatest mercy for God to let him regain it once. Instead of regretting the past, it is better to work hard to make the future self better.

The students in the same class also finished their performances one after another. Finally, the teacher made a summary and encouraged the students to continue to work hard, and then they can go back to their respective homes.

As for the results of the test, the teacher said that the students who passed will be notified by phone.Li Xiaoqi is quite self-aware about whether he can advance. Of course, he will have speculative thoughts of "what if" at the beginning. What if he accidentally passes?Two days ago, I was still looking forward to the phone call with some anxiety, but after knowing in my heart that I would definitely fail, I stopped thinking about it.

Wide roads, viaducts can be seen everywhere, and cars of various styles shuttle back and forth, as if the rivers of various colors are flowing.The hustle and bustle of people coming and going, the deafening sound of horns, it is so lively, but it makes people feel irresistible loneliness, which is the unique indifference of big cities.

Finished another job, opened the phone memo and crossed out the completed work. There is still more than half of the full page of work that has not been completed. If Li Xiaoqi does not know that he has been punished at this time, then he is a real idiot up.

From the end of September to the present, I have received more and more jobs. I was very happy at the beginning, and felt that the company had high hopes for me. Gradually, Li Xiaoqi discovered that although there are many jobs, most of them are unknown actors with few roles. Supporting roles, some characters even only have a back view. Rather than saying that he is working like an actor, it is better to say that he is just a walk-on.

If God closes a door for you, he will definitely open a window for you. Such words are not very trustworthy, at least now, Li Xiaoqi does not believe it.

Things were not going well at work. In the company, Li Xiaoqi also found out that everyone didn't like him. Every time he went to the company, he could find many people pointing fingers at him, and some people were even open-minded in front of him. , Said he was arrogant and conceited.

Gradually, Li Xiang, who was originally indifferent to him, now doesn't bother to say a word with him, and only a few words of text messages are notified about anything. If he needs to get the script, Li Xiang will put the script in the office Let him take it by himself, and the characters he takes have changed from good people to bad people, and there are even beggars and thieves who can be vilified.

Before, there was a character who needed to jump into a mud pit. Because the protagonist was not performing well and kept NGing, Li Xiaoqi also jumped back and forth into the mud pit seven or eight times. Later, the mud dried up and stuck to his body, and he went back to the dormitory and soaked for nearly a whole It took hours to wash off the mud on his body.

There is a saying in the entertainment circle that it is better to offend your boss and director than to offend your manager.This sentence is the same as that sentence, it is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain.

For newcomers, the resources in the hands of managers can help artists quickly gain a firm foothold in this circle. If they are offended, newcomers who have no interpersonal relationship at all will find it difficult to move forward in this circle; Those who have been with him all the year round know all the big and small things. If one day he offends his manager and casually reveals a bad piece of private information, then his acting career may come to an end.

This principle summed up by the predecessors is now being verified by Li Xiaoqi.
