Waiting for the manager's coffee

Liang Jin looked up and saw Lin Mu open the door, and said sourly, "Are you going to eat chicken legs?"

Lin Mu was taken aback: "You know all this?"

Shaking the phone: "Someone @you."

"Oh. Have you eaten?"

"No." I want to have dinner with you.

"Then shall I go with you?" asked uncertainly.

"Being photographed again, what do you think...?"

"I'll pack it for you." He turned around and went out.

Should I congratulate you on getting the part?Is it a pity that they were not selected together?Should I say I want to have dinner with you?

……

In the last semester, Lin Mu had more time than others, so he finished his thesis earlier and almost constructed the framework of the graduation exhibition. The stage play was almost an inevitable choice, but which fragments of which script to choose in the end still needed to be discussed.Lin Mu sometimes attends elective courses of stage plays in the lower grades, and even carefully observes the works with the most adaptations.

I also have a better understanding of the arrangement of the two professors.The teachers of the school always warn the students to settle down and accumulate more knowledge and accomplishments on campus, and not to sharpen their heads and squeeze their scalps to drill into the market; the facts always backfire. Lin Mu is almost a negative teaching material for the college, and he has a brilliant GPA , but no successful masterpieces are marked. In the middle of the [-]th generation, who is about to graduate, he is still as immature as a newcomer. Is he calm or bad luck?Do you want to stay in school as a counselor?

But Lin Mu himself knows that the more he learns professional knowledge, the more he discovers his shortcomings: stage, drama, vocal music, performance, slogan, etc., each of which is essential, and each of which needs to be accumulated and practiced, the most important thing Yes, but also mastery, between a line of dialogue and an action, to show your talents to the fullest.Everyone, including myself, is far from this requirement.

Professor Zhang once talked to himself about the current situation in this circle. At that time, Lin Mu still held his own vision, held on to the younger generation, and had some conceited insights, but felt ashamed after Professor Zhang said a few words.The older generation of artists have been practicing since they were young, and they came out of the mountains with their careers. They used a lifetime of stage experience to build word-of-mouth and fame, and then passed on the mantle without distraction.What about the showbiz now?Is there still a tireless pursuit of art?Is there still the traditional spirit of inheriting culture?Still have ten years of perseverance?

……

Tang Ning met Lin Mu once after school started.She said that there was an idol drama produced by their company, and asked Lin Mu if he would like to play the male lead.Lin Mu didn't ask about the script, didn't ask about the cast, and declined with a murmur.Tangning didn't ask why. The two of them chatted about the thesis and trivial matters before graduation. The words that weighed on their chests couldn't be said, but Lin Mu sent her away without realizing it.

Liang Jin was sent to acting training by the company, which shows how cautious he is.

Lin Shu is still swimming in the ocean of art, accompanied by drama.Apart from working, he lives in the dormitory.

When Lan Fan came to the door, he saw a young man reading a book under the glass window.Of course, Lin Mu's age is no longer that of a teenager, but his immature face and serious appearance appear pure and beautiful.The winter sun softly sprinkled on his milky face, and some fluff seemed to be shining... Lan Fan was very grateful that the door of the dormitory was open, otherwise he would not be able to see such a scene.

Lin Mu tilted his head to see Lan Fan walking in, and sighed softly.This guy kept lobbying himself for cooperation, and he was as capricious as a brat.

"Why, I was disappointed?" Lan Fan said with a smile.

"You're really too idle, doesn't the company want you?"

"Hey, you've heard that there are people who don't want to kiss their sons?"

"If you're too stupid..." He used a bookend to resist the riot.

"Fuck, the little lover has a future and abandons you, so she becomes mean and vicious."

Lin Mu thought about this sentence, and asked curiously, "He was busier before?"

Hehe, he didn't deny it, Lan Fan curled his lips in dismay.

"It's you, you don't need to write a paper? No activities on Valentine's Day?"

Lan Fan said angrily, "I'm here to discuss work with you!"

Lin Mu raised his head from the book, "Lan Fan, I just appeared at your concert, and leaning against you...what will everyone think of me? Most importantly, will your fans be annoyed that their cherished things have been destroyed? Someone else's finger? This is not only harmful to others but also harmful to oneself..."

Lan Fan listened carefully and remained silent for a while before speaking: "Lin Mu, do you know what it was like when I sang on stage for the first time?"

Lin Mu thought about it.Domestic pop music has developed in a grotesque way in recent years. Talent shows dominated the market ten years ago, hype and publicity led competitiveness, and focusing on music to build strength has naturally become a fantasy.The interest in forest trees shifted from domestic to neighboring countries.Remember the dance he danced on the previous show? K-pop is so much more interesting...

"The press conference of "The Voice of Nature" or the pop music chart awards ceremony?"

Lan Fan didn't insist on it for 3 minutes with a serious face, and he was amused as soon as he listened to it. He still cares about me for being able to say these two things!

In fact, Lin Mu's ability to absorb information is too strong, and reading the news is one of his daily routines. He claims to know everything about entertainment.

"That was my debut stage. The first time I sang in front of an audience, I was 17 years old. I had just returned to China after studying vocal music for two years abroad. My aunt held a retreat concert that year, and I really wanted to keep us at her important concert. So I repeatedly begged my aunt to agree to sing the most difficult song "Beautiful Light" with me... As a result, that song almost became my nightmare."

"The prelude started, and my mind went blank. The audience cheered loudly, and my aunt's face couldn't be seen clearly. I couldn't make a sound, and my face was flushed with anxiety, and I was about to cry. I just You know, the words "born to belong to the stage" and "you can conquer the audience as soon as you open your mouth" are too empty, you have never been on stage, you have never spoken in front of a sea of ​​people, everything is nonsense."

Lin Mu listened and asked curiously, "Didn't I watch Professor Lan's last concert? There is no such part."

Lan Fan was interrupted again with a serious face, he said with contempt: "Of course it was cut by the company." This kind of black history... It's a shame that I told him!

"I have seen too many rookies like me, comforted the audience, and patiently guided me, so I made a sound. Over!" Ended angrily. "So, don't think wildly. If you are afraid that people will not buy it, you will refuse the opportunity. May I ask if you still want to make a debut? As long as you have the strength, are you worried that you won't be able to convince others?" He took out his phone and slid it, "Look, your Fans, I’m sorry, I’m getting close to me—so many so-called idol singers don’t even dare to sing at the scene, and they are desperately posting videos to rush to the scene, do you have no face or no body?”

"Eh..." Lin Mu blinked, thinking that Lan Fan's words sounded quite embarrassing, what's going on.

"Okay, you are not suitable for chicken soup for the soul." I am not suitable for drinking.Listening to Lan Fan muttering "I think it's very good", he laughed. "You don't have nothing to run around", "I'm here to find you to do business", "This is the libretto part of the stage play I sorted out, you can assign it to your classmates." Lan Fan took it bitterly , huddled in disgrace, and asked before going out, "Then did you agree?"

"It depends on your company's arrangement." That is also my possible future company, respect its arrangement.
