Chapter 1775: Taking the Back Door
Early this morning, Tao Liangliang sat on the stone bench in the courtyard with his hair messy like a chicken coop, smoking and chatting with Wang Yan and Xiao Dongbei.
Tao Liangliang yawned loudly: "You've embraced the beauty, Brother Yan. I think about it now, and it feels like a dream. How long has it been? You are no longer on the same level as us, it's hard for you to still squeeze in the basement with us."
Wang Yan said with a smile: "The main thing is to let you see how I walked out step by step, so that the joy of my success can be doubled. After all, you know how poor I was when I first came, and you can know the hardship in it.
Others can't do it. They can only see my success. Even if they hear about the process of my starting a business, they will find various reasons for me to prove the inevitability of my success. What's the point of such a fake thing?"
Tao Liangliang didn't smoke a cigarette right, and coughed hard: "Brother Yan, although you are right, it hurt me a little."
Xiao Dongbei waved his hand indifferently: "Look at you, your cultivation is not enough, what's the hurt in this? You say you perform in bars all day, perform in the underground pedestrian passage, what are you still hurt about? What, you still want to compare with Brother Yan?"
"What, you don't envy, jealousy, and hate?" Tao Liangliang retorted unceremoniously.
But Xiao Dongbei didn't argue anymore, just sighed long: "I've finally understood recently, this world is a play. Some people are destined to be under the lights, in the center of the crowd, no matter what, they can't cover up their brilliance, and can't cover up their scenes.
Some people are just watching the fun and applauding below. Some sit in the front, some sit in the back, and those who are worse are standing in the aisle, being disliked by others and driven to the back. But there is still a big crowd squeezing in the back, what should I do? Fight each other, scold each other, fight to squeeze forward, want to see how beautiful the woman under the light is, and what the man has more than himself..."
"Oh, my." Tao Liangliang said, surprised, "You can still have this realization, see it so clearly?"
"Isn't what you said like scolding people? What's wrong with me? I'm at least a junior high school graduate, can read, can read books. You group of people who engage in art are sighing about bad luck and miserable fate here all day, isn't this also being influenced by you?"
Tao Liangliang was still very emotional: "Sure enough, you can't underestimate anyone. Xiao Dongbei, I really didn't expect you to say such reasonable words."
Wang Yan said on the side: "Everyone is a philosopher, Ah Liang, your realm is low."
"He has the lowest realm." Xiao Dongbei joked, "Still engaging in art and playing the saxophone, if you don't think about life, don't have emotions, can you play well?"
The two of them fought with each other, all greeting each other's weaknesses.
After laughing for a while, Zhuang Zhuang, who was making a phone call at the gatehouse, finally ended the call and greeted Wang Yan to leave.
Out of "Winter Goes, Spring Comes", seeing no one around, Zhuang Zhuang pulled Wang Yan's arm: "Did you ask someone to beat Kang Shunyin?"
"How is that possible." Wang Yan shook his head, "I just found that kid following us, so I asked Feng Tieyou to scare him. I guess Feng Tieyou couldn't stand it, and also wanted to express himself in front of me, so he acted on his own and cleaned up that Kang Shunyin.
But the problem is definitely not big. You know Feng Tieyou, he has a sense of proportion when he makes a move. At most, it's just a bit of physical pain, nothing big."
"It is said that Kang Shunyin was beaten into a pig's head, and his teeth fell out. Kang Shunyin's mother found our house and asked our family for an explanation, and even said she wanted to call the police to arrest you." Zhuang Zhuang said very helplessly, she couldn't imagine how this Kang Shunyin could make so many things happen.
Wang Yan said with a laugh: "It's okay, you pass on the message, if they want to call the police, let them call, anyway, I didn't hit him. For such a small matter, Feng Tieyou can just go in and be locked up for a few days, the problem is not big."
"Look at what you said, as if you are a black society, either hitting people or asking others to hit people. What will you do in the future?" Zhuang Zhuang raised her hand, not letting Wang Yan speak, "I know, you want to say you know what you are doing, want to say you didn't commit a crime, and there won't be big problems. But I'm afraid there will be big problems.
You don't think about it, Feng Tieyou didn't have a sense of proportion. What if Kang Shunyin is hurt? When the public security catches Feng Tieyou, he will definitely confess you. At that time, will you have no big problems?"
Wang Yan nodded repeatedly: "You are right, but I can't just let him follow us, just like Feng Tieyou disgusted people before, there is no other way to solve it without beating him. But don't worry, I will definitely pay attention in the future and think twice before acting."
"I hope so."
"Didn't you find that I have improved? I didn't clean up Kang Shunyin myself, but found Feng Tieyou."
"If this is the progress, then you'd better not progress." Zhuang Zhuang was speechless, snorted proudly, and turned to leave first. And then she had to dislike Wang Yan for walking slowly, and turned back to urge...
Today Wang Yan didn't go to work, but drove a small motorcycle, carried Zhuang Zhuang, and 'tut-tut-tut' went to a theater.
Zhuang Zhuang signed up for a singing competition, and today is the first day of the preliminary selection. For such an event, Wang Yan naturally wants to accompany Zhuang Zhuang to participate.
This kind of activity is quite interesting, and there are all kinds of gods. After all, those who dare to sign up for the competition are willing to show themselves and have a certain degree of self-confidence. As for how to show and how to be confident, don't worry about it.
Some sing and jump, some are tone-deaf and honey-confident, and some seem to want to set off waves. Some are unhappy with the judges' evaluation, some question the judges, and some, if not for someone stopping them, are afraid they would fight the judges, which is really lively.
Wang Yan sat quietly below, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, watching the excitement on the field, and his mood was also pleasant...
Shen Ranran walked unsteadily on the street, her face was flushed with wine, and she was exuding the smell of alcohol, obviously drunk.
Just today, a small role that was about to be obtained flew away, because others were recommended by people with connections. Just for such a reason, she was eliminated.
And that small role was only a few scenes, only a few dozen lines, and even such a small role had to be fought for by connections.
She is naturally not a fool, and has always known these situations, but she didn't care too much, and was still full of enthusiasm for her acting career. However, when such things happened again and again, it finally made her enthusiasm cold.
Shen Ranran couldn't help thinking, whether she should continue to struggle in acting, if she continues to do it, how should she do it, whether it is still like before, or get to know a big boss.
It's like Brother Cui, who has been helping her contact the crew today, recommended a very rich Boss Chu to her...
The more she thought about it, the more irritable she became, so she drank too much alcohol, so that she was drunk now.
She wanted to go back to the hotel to rest, but felt stuffy and uncomfortable, so she simply went to the artificial lake near the hotel to vomit and be quiet.
It was just when she was vomiting while leaning on a tree that a 'tut-tut-tut' sound came from far to near, and finally stopped not far away.
Shen Ranran felt someone patting her back, couldn't help but lift her hair to look, and met Wang Yan's warm eyes. She smiled miserably: "Brother Yan, why are you here."
"Isn't this because I just sent Zhuang Zhuang back to rest, and I'm going to the factory, and I saw you vomiting here when I passed by." Wang Yan patted Shen Ranran's back, "What's wrong, why drink so much alcohol when it's not a festival?"
"Nothing, vomit..."
Until Shen Ranran finished vomiting, Wang Yan sat with her on the bench by the lake, looking at the rippling lake in front of him.
"Brother Yan, do you think you must have connections, have money and power to do things?" Shen Ranran asked blankly.
"That mainly depends on how big a thing you want to do, there is no such thing as must or not. Look at me, didn't I also come to the capital alone, empty-handed, and made the current company? In this process, there were no connections to help, it was all my step-by-step walk."
Shen Ranran looked at Wang Yan, and for a moment didn't know what to say.
Wang Yan naturally understood Shen Ranran's gaze, and immediately smiled: "I know you want to say that I am not representative. There are so many people in the country, and there are not many people like me. But the truth is not bad. As long as you are willing to do it, as long as you do it correctly, then you can succeed without connections. It's just that it's slower to succeed and you walk further. What, was the role you decided on before snatched away?"
"Yes. Such things have happened several times, I just don't understand, why..."
Shen Ranran opened the chatterbox, complaining about the various injustices encountered after coming to the capital with tears and snot, countless hopes and disappointments, and gradually talked about how difficult it was for her to embark on the path of acting, and how much effort she put in. She also talked about her family's preference for boys over girls, and her mother always wanted to marry her to a rich man, etc.
So Wang Yan said from his own experience: "You are already very good. I think you have persistence in family matters. You are free, and your family can't control you. If it bothers you, you leave, let them reflect on themselves. I can't say more, after all, you know, I have no relatives."
This made Shen Ranran unnatural: "I'm sorry, Brother Yan, I didn't..."
"Can't I let others chat because I have no relatives? I have no matter how great ability, I can't control so many people in the world."
Wang Yan waved his hand and changed the subject back, "Your efforts are all seen by us. Your current encounter is not your fault. Why don't you change your direction? You say those people or things that invested real money in movies, or have a certain status in the crew, or are people in other relevant departments, can influence the release of movies. Is it understandable that these people put their own people in?"
Shen Ranran couldn't help but pout: "Understandable is understandable, but it should clearly be whoever is capable goes up."
"There are biases, who is capable and who is not, where is it so easy to explain clearly." Wang Yan said, "If I invest in making a movie, it must be that you are capable, no need to audition, directly designated as you. Then how do others look at joining the group? In fact, everyone is the same."
"I understand the truth, Brother Yan, but I just feel uncomfortable. Things that were already agreed upon, how can they go back on their word? This is too unfair."
The more Shen Ranran said, the more aggrieved she became, and the tears she had just taken back flowed out again. She was sobbing and choking, and couldn't speak clearly, her shoulders shrugging, as if she was really going to faint.
Wang Yan patted her back, relieving the tension in her body.
People always have pure fantasies about society, and their fantasies about their own strength are even more unrealistic, so after experiencing some things, the children who just joined society are broken.
When he found that many things were so powerless, many efforts were futile, and many problems were actually not solved, his thinking was finally broken, and he finally began to be disciplined into an adult...
It's like Shen Ranran now, she began to doubt herself, doubting whether her persistence in the past was correct.
This requires her to think for herself, and emotions eventually need to be cleaned up by herself.
All Wang Yan can do is accompany. He sat here quietly smoking and enjoying the lake, which is always better than Shen Ranran being here alone.
After a while, Shen Ranran finally wiped her snot and stopped crying.
"Brother Yan, you just watched me cry?"
"Didn't I comfort you."
"Were those things you said just now comfort? Why do I feel like it's stimulating me even more?"
"This is reverse therapy." Wang Yan handed the handkerchief over with a smile, and raised one eyebrow at her, "Look, aren't you better now? This shows that my reverse therapy is still very effective."
Shen Ranran was speechless, she sighed: "Brother Yan, do you think I'm not suitable to be an actor?"
"Voice, stage, shape, expression, you are all qualified, you possess the basic qualities of an actor. It is clearly those people who go through the back door who squeezed your opportunity down, what does it have to do with whether you are suitable to be an actor, how can you doubt yourself?"
Wang Yan said seriously, "If you don't even believe in yourself, your aura will weaken, and you will destroy your own ambition first, isn't it even harder to succeed? You have to believe that you are the best actor in the world, it's just that the pearl is covered in dust, and others are blind and haven't discovered your goodness."
"Right, others are blind, they don't know I'm the best actor!" Shen Ranran repeated, then giggled, "Thank you, Brother Yan, let you see a joke."
"This is too polite. We are good friends, comrades in common struggle, how can I see your joke. I hope you are good, hope you really become the best actor in the world. Don't think too much, Ranran, just be yourself, insist on what you think is right."
Shen Ranran nodded heavily, then smiled and laughed: "Brother Yan, when will you make a movie, let me take the back door~"
"Look at you, you only know the benefits of taking the back door, you don't know the price of taking the back door? There are handsome men and beautiful women in your circle, don't you know the unspoken rules in your circle?"
"What?" Shen Ranran widened her eyes, covering her barren chest, "Brother Yan, you're not, right? I'll tell Sister Zhuang Zhuang."
