I'm not a good substitute

Zhang Yanran never considered this issue.

He studied acting because his grades were not very good since he was a child, and he was good-looking. In high school, people said that the requirements for cultural courses were low and he could go to a good university.

Zhang Yanran made a mistake, took a few classes in a daze, went to try a few schools, passed in all of them, and finally chose this acting university in the capital.

During the training, the teacher said that he was highly talented and good-looking, and he was a good seed born to be an actor.But Zhang Yanran didn't feel much about it. He was young at the time and only wanted to get into a good university.

Zhang Yanran's parents are both teachers, and the children of his colleagues have good grades except for a few who are not particularly motivated. Zhang Yanran doesn't want to embarrass his parents. The requirements for cultural courses in the art university are low, which is a shortcut for him.

As for whether he likes to perform or not, Zhang Yanran just thinks that performing is easy and fun, and has never considered other issues.

The reason why he chose the A university he is studying now is not only the school's reputation, but another important reason is that it is close to home, and he can go home in a few hours by bus.

Zhang Yanran is an old man, his parents gave birth to him when they were nearly 40 years old, and he is loved like a treasure.Therefore, his family relationship has always been harmonious, and he is more dependent on his parents and family than other boys.

During the four years of college, other students spent their holidays running film crews, looking for commercials, or making connections, in order to prepare for entering the film and television industry in the future.

Zhang Yanran is the only one who runs home during holidays, because he can eat delicious food at home, have a faster internet speed and play games smoothly, and he can also accompany his parents.

Now there are two students in Zhang Yanran's class who are well-known, and the rest are working hard, only Zhang Yanran is unknown.

At that time, he was also kind for a while. When he was shopping in the supermarket, he met Mrs. Huo, helped her who was about to fall accidentally, and then chatted back and forth.

In the end, Zhang Yanran accepted the job as Huo Jindong's stand-in, because Mrs. Huo was pitiful, and because the price she offered was high enough.Also because graduation is approaching, there are no classes in college, and the students either run to the crew or find other ways out, and he is the only one idle.

Zhang Yanran has a lot of calculations, the housing prices in his hometown are low, and the money he earned from Mrs. Huo is almost enough to pay the down payment for a small house. He took the money to go home and buy a house to be a teacher, which not only helped Mrs. Huo but also made money , It can also reduce the burden on parents, let them be proud of their sons, and feel proud, why not do it?

So when Huo Jindong asked him if he liked acting, Zhang Yanran's first reaction was blank.

Of course he didn't hate it, but he didn't like it much either.In Zhang Yanran's view now, choosing acting is just a shortcut to gild his academic qualifications, so after thinking about it, Zhang Yanran shook his head.

"It's okay, but I heard from the teacher that it's tiring. I have to stay up all night on the set, and I have to shoot a scene dozens of times. It's troublesome." His life is pretty good now, and the chance of becoming a big star is too slim. It's good to live a down-to-earth life.

I see.Huo Jindong nodded, and gave up the thoughts in his heart. Since Zhang Yanran didn't like it, some things were unnecessary.

After visiting the repertory theater, the two sat in the auditorium and chatted, which is what they often do.

Zhang Yanran took it for granted that Huo Jindong had the time and patience to chat with him from the very beginning.He's not very experienced in the world, so of course he doesn't know that for a person like Huo Jindong, every second of time is precious, and he rarely stopped to care about the necessities of life before.

When the time came, Li Fan came to ask Zhang Yanran to do the makeup. They had few makeup artists, so in order to avoid spending money on the ones with fewer roles, the protagonists could be transformed last.

After putting on makeup, Zhang Yanran went to change clothes. They were acting in a classic drama with the background of the Republic of China. Zhang Yanran played the role of a waiter in a shop. He put on clothes and matched his facial expressions and movements. He really looked like a person in the Republic of China period.

Taking off the white cloth towel from his shoulders and shaking, Zhang Yanran bent over and waved his hands, "Guest officer, would you like a pot of tea?"

He looked at Huo Jindong with sparkling eyes, his eyes were full of expectation, Huo Jindong smiled, and made a gesture of entering the door, "Come and make a pot of Pu'er."

"Okay." Zhang Yanran cheerfully put the cloth towel back on his shoulders, pretended to trot around to get a teapot back, and poured water for Huo Jindong in the air in a decent manner.

Huo Jindong smiled to cooperate with his performance, took a cup that didn't exist and drank it, "Good tea."

"Yan Ran, come on, let's go through the position one last time, and the show will start later." Li Fan was originally looking for someone, but when he saw the interaction between the two from a distance, he frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong, it didn't look like The fellows, on the contrary, look like a couple.

But he is an artist after all, and he has seen a lot, even if he notices something, he just keeps it in his heart and calls Zhang Yanran over.

Zhang Yanran put away his playful thoughts, greeted Huo Jindong, asked him to sit in the auditorium, and went to rehearse with Li Fan.

When the opening of the night was approaching, the audience came one after another. Because Zhang Yanran was a small character, the audience was not notified of the change of Zhang Yanran's role. Only familiar audiences noticed when they saw the list of personnel, and they were only a little surprised.

About to go on stage, Zhang Yanran stood behind the scenes and took a deep breath, feeling a little nervous. This was his first time facing so many audiences, so it was inevitable.

Inadvertently looking up, I found that Huo Jindong was sitting in the auditorium and raised his arms and clenched his fists at him. Because he had watched the rehearsal, he knew where and when Zhang Yanran would appear on stage, so Huo Jindong specially cheered him on.

Strangely, the moment Zhang Yanran saw Huo Jindong, Zhang Yanran felt his tension eased a lot. Anyway, he had already practiced, so he could just pretend that the audience in the audience didn't exist.

Huo Jindong is so picky that he is good, so he must be good.

Braving himself up in his heart, Zhang Yanran stepped onto the stage.

The moment he stepped on the stage, his mind was empty, and then Zhang Yanran performed his own performance as he had rehearsed countless times in his heart.

Because of the light, looking down from the stage, you can only see the densely packed heads of people in the audience, and you can't see the audience's expressions clearly. Zhang Yanran can only do his best.

After stepping off the stage, I realized that my palms were all sweaty.

Li Fan has been in the backstage all the time, came over and patted Zhang Yanran on the shoulder in surprise, "Yes, you are doing great. It's a pity that you don't become an actor! A distant relative of mine is working as a manager, and I still have some connections. Can you introduce me?"

Zhang Yanran had no interest in being an actor, and to be honest, the money given by the crew might not be as much as Mrs. Huo gave him, so he declined. Li Fan said it was a pity, but he also respected his choice.

After all, in addition to relying on strength to make a living, actors also have a large part of luck. Many excellent actors often waste years because of lack of opportunities. Golden supporting role.

Now Zhang Yanran doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking, has a sweet relationship with her boyfriend, and doesn't have any desire to be popular, it's normal not to want to enter the circle.

There was still some time before the end of the show, and Zhang Yanran's role in the show was gone.It was late, he changed his clothes, took off his makeup, greeted Li Fan and was about to go back.

"Don't go, let's have dinner together after the evening." Li Fan asked to stay.

Zhang Yanran shook his head, "No, Big Brother Huo has a bad stomach, he has to eat on time, and it's already delayed. Let's go eat at this place, let's get together another day."

He went out directly through the back door and sent a message to Huo Jindong, and it didn't take long to see his figure walking out of the theater.

Spring in the capital is very windy, and occasionally you can see remnants of Can Xue. Although Zhang Yanran is wearing thick clothes, he can't stand outside for a while, his hands are already cold.

After getting in the car, Huo Jindong held his hand to help warm it up. Zhang Yanran felt that this gesture was a bit gay, so he pulled back in embarrassment.

Huo Jindong, who was rejected, didn't care, started the car quickly, and suggested, "It's too cold today, let's go eat hot pot to warm up?"

Zhang Yanran's eyes lit up.

Although he is from the north, Zhang Yanran can eat spicy food and loves hot pot.But Huo Jindong has a bad stomach, Zhang Yanran dare not let him eat this.

Zhang Yanran doesn't have many friends in the capital, and his roommates are almost absent except during class, so he doesn't feel ashamed to eat alone, and now he craves spicy food very much.

Hearing what Huo Jindong said, he felt a little ready to move, but considering Huo Jindong's body, he shook his head, "Eat something light."

Huo Jindong said with a smile, "My stomach is much better now. I used to be able to eat spicy food very much, but now I want to eat it badly. You can go with me."

In fact, Huo Jindong can't eat spicy food at all, and he kept it in his heart when he heard Zhang Yanran talking about hot pot in his sleep last week when he was taking a nap.

Since Huo Jindong is fine, that Zhang Yanran is even better, almost eagerly nodded, "Let's go, let's eat hot pot."

Seeing Zhang Yanran's excited face, Huo Jindong's heart warmed, and he drove straight to the nearest hot pot restaurant.

Huo Jindong is low-key by nature and doesn't like to attract attention, even if it's just the two of them, he still asked for a box.

The two sat next to each other, Zhang Yanran flipped through the menu, he couldn't bear the smell of the store after not eating for a long time, he quickly ordered the food and rubbed his hands and waited.

Huo Jindong looked at him with a smile, and began to use his mobile phone to secretly search for solutions to spicy food.

It was already around nine o'clock in the evening, there were not many guests, and the dishes were served quickly. Zhang Yanran warmly greeted Huo Jindong.

"Come on, our task today is to feed you well. You usually eat on time. Today is already late, so hurry up and eat." Zhang Yanran picked up a chopstick of spicy beef and put it in the pot. After it was cooked, he helped Huo Jindong put it in. The bowl signaled him to eat while it was hot.

Huo Jindong was silent for a while, picked up the beef and ate it all, and said with a smile, "It's delicious."

Sure enough, he was a fellow, Zhang Yanran smiled, and motioned for Huo Jindong to eat by himself, and he waved his chopsticks and started eating.

Huo Jindong only felt burning in his mouth, but he didn't feel it when he ate it. Now that he swallowed it, he only felt smoke coming from his throat, his whole tongue was numb, his face started to turn red, sweat gushed out, and he felt dizzy .
