When will I be the queen

Chapter 442 Parenting and Children

Cai Cai still doesn't know whether to laugh or cry when she recalls it. "I had to have a serious talk with my family, explaining the fact that I am not picky about food at all, so that they can resume having a rich table of ingredients. Later I found out that even if I stopped eating, they would resist eating at home, and then show off outside."

Hahahahaha.

Cao Xin couldn't stop laughing. He couldn't connect this matter with the group of fierce men from the Tang Sect. "Really, just because you frowned, your family members would do everything they could to help you, right? They are very considerate."

Si Chen nodded, "Really." So, "I've also seen a lot of speculation and analysis about Cai Cai's personality and her family on the Internet, and I read it with great interest. In fact, Cai Cai's family also read it with great interest, but I want to say that whether it is Cai Cai's own personality or her family education and atmosphere, it is extremely difficult to replicate. I think the same as Cai Cai, personality formation is very complicated, and everyone has their own personality. There is no need to envy or imitate."

Cao Xin sighed, "Yeah, I'm actually very envious in my heart, but I also know that it's impossible to copy it. Besides, I also like my own personality."

"When I was a teenager, I couldn't understand my parents' smiles and sad expressions. Now I understand them. Suddenly, I am very afraid that I will also show that kind of smile to my future descendants. Didn't the Internet say that parents are parents for the first time, but they have been children before. However, parents don't understand their children, and children don't understand their parents. Only when you grow up, or even become a parent, can you truly understand your parents."

Cao Xin turned the cup in his hand, "When I was in my teens, I didn't understand why my parents had so many drinking parties, I didn't understand what was so good about drinking, and I didn't understand what my parents were talking about. It was all nonsense to me. But when I started to participate in drinking parties, started to socialize independently, started to pick up a glass of wine alone late at night, and started to talk to people around me about the nonsense that I once hated, I finally understood my parents' painstaking efforts at that time."

The word "nonsense" is so strong. When I was comparing words just now, I used "meaningless words" and now it has become "nonsense".

Cai Cai glanced at Cao Xin and said, "You didn't drink too much. Everyone has water in their hands."

Si Chen also paused, but quickly continued, "Who hasn't thought that their parents are talking nonsense at a drinking party? I am the same. So I didn't choose my father's path, nor did I choose the path my father chose for me."

Cao Xin pulled the corners of her mouth, "I chose the path my parents chose for me. To be honest, I was really confused, I was really rebellious, I seriously thought about not being an artist. But I couldn't give up the spotlight, the praise, cheers and applause from others, and the stage where everyone was paying attention. I used to think that I was vain, and I also thought that I was just influenced by my parents, but when I came to a place where no one could call out my name, I started to get scared."

Cai Cai held Cao Xin's arm and said, "I didn't say these things just now. I thought I had gone too far."

Cao Xin sighed in his heart. In fact, he always silently repeated what he was about to say in his mind, so he didn't say too much. When making this program, you can't be too hypocritical. The audience is not stupid. The production team let them play freely without pressure, but it doesn't mean that they won't be perfunctory. The program made with heart and the program made perfunctorily are completely different. Cao Xin cherishes every work opportunity, and cherishes every opportunity to work with Cai Cai even more. He doesn't want his cooperation with Cai Cai to become a stain on Cai Cai.

Without stopping, Cao Xin patted Cai Cai's hand, pretending to be comforted by Cai Cai, "It's okay. Now I face myself calmly, face my utilitarianism, face my pursuit and dreams, face my parents' requirements, face my own failures, and also face the fear I once had. Now I am not afraid that no one can call out my name. Because I know that there are still many people who know my name, and even like me very much."

"I've also begun to understand my parents, but this understanding seems to be a betrayal of my childhood self by the current me." Cao Xin looked at Cai Cai, "Can you understand this feeling?"

Cai Cai couldn’t understand, “Maybe it’s because when you were a kid you thought your parents were very powerful and omnipotent, but you ended up seeing their weak side, so you felt distressed and didn’t want them to attend the drinking party. You also became cowardly, afraid that you would become like your parents in the future, or even worse than them. So you thought about not being an artist and escaping, but when you saw the outside world, you found that being an artist was the easiest and most relaxing thing for you. You didn’t betray your childhood self, but truly became the real you.”

"." Very good, you are worthy of it. You hit the nail on the head.

Cao Xin's mentality was about to collapse, but after being pinched by Si Chen, he calmed down and forced a fake smile that was uglier than crying, ah, haha, hehe.

Taking a deep breath, not caring about being caught on camera, Cao Xin adjusted her facial expression before answering, "Yes, that should be what you said. Since you like acting so much, what kind of job would you do if you were not an actor?"

Cai Cai shook her head and said, "I'm not working anymore. I'm just eating, drinking and having fun."

Well, you have said this many times. Cao Xin regretted asking this question and could only change the subject. "I found that many children will have conflicts with their parents over choices such as dreams and employment, right? We are considered to be quite successful, but we still have so many problems. Other young people must have more problems. What should we do? Movies and TV dramas are also full of plots where the characters choose dreams and have conflicts with their parents. In the end, either the dream is fulfilled and the parents are happy, or they give in to the parents. The situation in reality is definitely more complicated and more contradictory than in the script."

Si Chenxian said, "People still have to have dreams and things they want to do. Regardless of whether this thing can become their career, at least it can make their lives richer. As for career choices, the advice parents can give is also limited. Regardless of whether parents are successful or not, that is their parents' life, and even as children, it cannot be copied. Many parents hope that their children will follow their wishes to choose a career. Some hope that they will have successors, and some hope that their children can take fewer detours and live more easily. But there are also parents who either look down on their children or overestimate themselves."

"This should be the reason why many children have conflicts with their parents. Parents cannot truly understand themselves and their children, which is a taboo for parents. But children will also think highly of themselves and despise their parents. This is actually a common problem for many young people. I think it is better to be down-to-earth, live seriously, and live your own life well, because no matter what, parents cannot live their lives for their children. After all, everyone lives their own lives."

It's very real. Cao Xin nodded to show his agreement, and finally looked at Cai Cai and said, "Just follow the words you have chosen and say a few words at the end. This segment will be over."

Cai Cai looked back at Cao Xin and blinked. "If a child refuses to choose a career according to his parents' requirements, it's either because he hasn't seen his parents' success or because he doesn't know his own abilities. When elementary school students write essays, they always mention "my father is the director, my mother is the dean". It's obvious whether they should listen to their parents or not. In movies and TV dramas, the rich young masters and daughters, who live in luxury, are greeted by people when they go in and out, and then keep saying that these are not the life I want, and then go to the construction site to carry bricks, to be honest, I have only seen them in movies and TV dramas."

"."Wait a minute, what are you talking about.

Cao Xin looked directly at Shui Qing and said, "Cut it."

Shui Qing didn't move, but glanced at Mei Zhang. Seeing that Mei Zhang didn't express his opinion, he signaled Cao Xin to record it himself.

Si Chen just looked at Mei Zhang, and seeing that he didn't react, he was no longer worried.

Cai Cai looked at Cao Xin and smiled, "Why can't you say this? Have you ever seen this in real life?"

Cao Xin paused and spoke before Si Chen, "I have indeed never seen such a case." The only ones are those whose parents are officials and whose children don't like the officialdom and want to do business.

Si Chen thought Cao Xin would not respond. After all, it was really hard to respond to Cai Cai's words. If she was not careful, she would become the target of public opinion attacks. Cai Cai was very popular among the public and was not afraid of being attacked, but Cao Xin might not be treated the same way. He thought he would respond, but Cao Xin spoke first. Unexpectedly.

"I don't know what other people's families are like in reality, but as for me, my mother never talked to me about career dreams. Before I had the idea of ​​becoming an actor, I didn't think about dreams or careers. I didn't have any dreams. Because I am very satisfied. So satisfied that I don't have any dreams. My mother and my family are committed to letting me live my life without worries and as I please."

In fact, I would live my life like a waste. "I also asked them what would happen if there was an accident, and my mother told me directly that there would be no accident. Because they have taken all possible accidents into account. As a result, I became an actor, which was not in their calculation at all."

Si Chen smiled, "That's why they think you are an actor who just has to endure hardships."

Cai Cai laughed and said, "The audience will definitely scold me for saying that. After all, being an actor is a very easy job." Cao Xin added, "In the eyes of many parents, what their children do is just forced. Many conflicts between parents and children seem to have no solution."

Cai Cai doesn't think so. "How can there be no solution? If the conflict is caused by mutual care, then there is no conflict. If the conflict is caused by mutual calculation or one-sided calculation, then there are many solutions. The reason why there is a happy ending in movies and TV series is because the character settings and plot logic are originally happy. The happy ending in reality is basically because of mutual care, mutual dedication, and inseparable, so there can be a happy ending."

"There is no happy ending in reality because there are many independent calculations and indifference. It is very obvious whether parents love their children or not, and whether children love their parents or not. It just depends on whether the parties are willing to face it. Sometimes, if they face it well, there will actually be no conflicts."

Cai Cai knew Hong Hong very early that her parents did not love her, so she chose her own future. Whether it was career or marriage, she would not follow her parents' arrangements. Because for parents who do not love their children, children are the easiest and most cost-effective commodities in their hands. Hong Hong said that when she understood this, a lot of pain and contradictions disappeared. It seems that there will be many contradictions in the parent-child relationship when there is mutual concern, but as long as one party does not care, the contradiction will not exist.

Alas, this is also a sigh.

So heavy. The final words can't be so heavy! !

Cao Xin was mad at heart and tried to save the situation. "Haha, it's not a bad thing to have conflicts. So, looking at problems from different angles will bring different results. Facing them positively and looking at them optimistically will always lead to good results. Anyway, even if I still have conflicts with my parents, I won't be impulsive. Even if I betrayed my past self, I have always lived a good life and worked hard. I have not let my past self down. I think I am great."

Si Chen nodded and continued, "Yes, the me today is always better than the me yesterday, and the me tomorrow will be an even better me."

Cai Cai smiled and clapped her hands in cooperation.

To be honest, she thinks that the group of artists is very extreme. Some people have lived a life of superiority since birth, such as Cao Xin and Mu Niannian in the previous life. Compared with other industries outside the circle, it is an understatement to say that they are smooth sailing. Their unhappiness is more satisfactory than others' satisfaction. And some people, such as her as Erya in the previous life, and those artists who committed suicide at a young age, have a life like the protagonist of a sadistic script, with bitterness coming and going.

In fact, these two types of artists are not very suitable for sharing their life insights and life experiences. For example, her life is of no reference value. But countless people are curious, whether out of a desire to pry into someone's privacy or really want to copy the artist's personality, for the sake of ratings and popularity, the artist must share. There are so many observational variety shows that observe the artist's work, private life, love, marriage and parenting. Countless artists try hard to show their side that is close to that of ordinary people, and the audience also shouts, "This is me in the world, this is my life."

how is this possible.

The artist in front of the camera only exists in the camera, and is the artist that the audience and fans want to see.

Artists go through so much trouble to debut and become famous, but it is impossible for them to return to being ordinary people. Artists will always be just artists.

Cai Cai knows that she is a little pessimistic. The artist effect is all about pursuing positive things. Whether it is influence or economic value. What stars sell is beautiful dreams.

Therefore, the more this happens, the more Cai Cai feels that celebrities should complain less. It is really unnecessary to go through the trouble of finding resonance with ordinary people.

Shui Qing looked at Cai Cai's faint smile that seemed like a fairy in a painting, and her mind was full of how to edit this segment. How to cut the shots, how to put subtitles, how to make special effects, how to add music. As for the effect after the broadcast, hehe, as long as it is approved, who cares if it is flooded! !

The following recordings were much easier, and the topics were not so difficult. Everything went smoothly until Cai Cai left.

Apart from Cao Xin, Cai Cai's work focus was on the Empire's wrap-up banquet. Because Jarvis had a lot to announce, the process was long and it was revised over and over again. From the beginning to now, there have been seventy-three revisions. This is the finalized version, not to mention those that have been revised but not finalized.

In the work group, every time the organizer posted a process, he would emphasize that this was definitely the final version. As a result, before this statement was posted on the screen, a new version was uploaded. There were also many times when Cai Cai didn’t have time to read several abandoned versions before a new version appeared. When she clicked to read it, she found that there was another new version. Later, Cai Cai simply didn’t let Mei Zhang read it for her. There was no need. She would just follow the arrangements of the main team.

The actors in the second season are mostly older and are indeed the most active in the group. They post pictures from time to time, of the set, eating, exercising, pets, children, cars, flowers, growing vegetables, etc. Well, how should I put it? Middle-aged and elderly people all over the world are actually the same. Fortunately, there is no such thing as Moments here.

On the contrary, the young actors are very silent. Everyone knows that Cai Cai doesn't check her phone. Aaron and Lili are all messing around on the Internet, and they are also messing around in real life, so except for being @ed, they don't check group messages. Anyway, I will chat with them privately if there is something.

Cai Cai thinks it’s a good thing that there are so few social apps here, because Mei Zhang needs five or six mobile phones in China, but only two here.

Finally, after Cai Cai once again went through the misty script, the wrap party was about to begin. The process was decided three hours before the start. Everyone was probably too lazy to watch it, so the red carpet line was a mess.

Yes, there is a red carpet. The character posters of all the actors in Empire served as the background of the red carpet, and on the other side were the media and fans. The photo booth was huge, with the huge physical Empire logo, surrounded by a flower wall.

"The color scheme of this flower wall alone has been changed dozens of times," Aaron and Cai Cai muttered.

Aaron was originally the second group to walk the red carpet, but the third group went up first, so Aaron came to find Cai Cai and waited for the red carpet to be arranged. Now it was a mess, and everyone went back to the car to wait.

Cai Cai was going to be the last one to leave with Jarvis, so she was not in a hurry at all.

"Where are Lily and Sarah?" They should be going with their main rival actors in the play, both men and women, in two groups, quite a lot of people. Now she couldn't see any of them, nor the car. She didn't have a cell phone, and when she was about to ask Mei Zhang, Aaron opened the car door and got in.

Jarvis was on the phone in the back, and it seemed like there was a problem with the advertising sponsorship.

Aaron overheard a few words and then replied to Cai Cai, "They are waiting on the other side. There is a live interview over there. Do you want to watch it?" He just wanted to appear on screen more and be in the news.

Cai Cai lost interest as soon as she heard that. She had another focus today, so she pulled Aaron over and asked, "Did you notice that Dai For is particularly happy today?" He was the kind of happy that was clearly visible on his face, which was totally inconsistent with his usual personality.

Aaron also discovered, "Mammoth stocks are good?"

"There's no need to be so happy about this, right?" Cai Cai thought. Besides, Giant Elephant's stock has always been doing well. "Sarah doesn't look special, but I always feel that Dai For's behavior is related to Sarah."
