my gilded age

Chapter 423: The Great God of Hengdian, the Dream Eater in Reality

The skewers were hung up again, and the boss was still opening the shop. It seemed that the enthusiasm of the group of actresses and various directors yesterday was still warm, but after all, it had been a day, and I didn't know if they would come yet.

Bang, the door opened, and a fat man walked in.

"Two strings of kidneys."

"Brother, why don't you have a drink?"

"That... I won't drink anymore."

"Good."

The boss started grilling skewers, and there was a piercing sound. The fat man seemed a little bored, so he chatted with the boss.

"Did a group of directors and actors from nowhere eat here yesterday?"

"Yes." Lao Bai didn't look up.

"One of them is quite pretty, right?"

“A lot of them are beautiful.”

"She's quite thin, and she talks a little bit like a baby."

"Oh, yes."

"Who did she hook up with again this time?"

"Brother, I only provide food here, not accommodation."

The last words of the boss were really powerful. They made the fat man uncomfortable before he could continue talking.

But he still couldn't help it, especially after the skewers were served, he gritted his teeth and asked for a bottle of Laoxue, and he couldn't hold back any words.

"Boss! Do you know? They are just a bunch of swindlers! This guide, that teacher, even the [-]th line are not included! And that beautiful girl, she, she... Damn, they are You’re bragging about your abilities! You’re an [-]th-tier actor, but you’re going to make a blockbuster movie with a box office of over [-] million. Damn you!”

It seemed like drunk talk, but it didn't seem to be the case, especially when it came to her, he hesitated to speak.

While eating, drinking, and talking drunkenly, the fat man seemed to have lost his ability to drink, so he lay down on his bed.

"Boss." At this time, the beautiful girl came, the role played by Mu Xiaomi. She came to find this fat man.

"Why are you so drunk? Come home with me!...Oh, what can I do with your size? Boss, please help..."

Not only grilling skewers, but also helping to deliver people to rentals.

The night passed like this, and the next day, the girl came.

"Lao Xue! Give me Lao Xue!" The girl asked directly for several bottles of wine, and the boss was generous and gave her a plate of peanuts.

This girl agreed to a peanut and a glass of wine.

"Boss, do you want to hear the story between me and him?"

"..." The boss shook his head.

"You have to listen to me even if you don't want to listen!"

"..." The boss nodded.

The girl started to say, "He and I met at Hengdian. At that time, we were all walk-ins. Boss, you don't know, walk-ons all give themselves nicknames, called Dashen, the Great God of Hengdian."

Next, this is a walk-on story.

This girl wasn't very pretty at first, with an ordinary face. After arriving at Hengdian, she applied for a certificate and went on to work as a sidekick. She had a simple idea, that is: she could make money even while lying down.

That's right, if you play a dead body, you can just lie down for a day and get 50 yuan.

According to her, it's much easier than working in a factory.

When I had a lot of gigs, I got to know a lot of people, including a fat man.

"I'm a special agent. You little bitches are still far behind."

This fat guy is a bit more advanced, and he always has a saying.

"I came to Hengdian just for my dreams. If I don't have dreams, what's the difference between me and a salted fish?"

Master Xing's words were also very powerful when spoken by him.

The girl thought this guy was good, and the two gradually got to know each other and became friends. The two wanted to fight for their dreams together.

The result.

The fat man took the lead in playing an important supporting role, which was considered a staged success, but after that, the fat man was different.

"I've already played supporting roles, so how can I still play general roles?"

"One or two lines? A character like this coming to me? What a joke!"

"You don't understand! You really don't understand! After I played such a role, my value dropped."

This fat man basically stopped taking roles. Unless it was an important supporting role, or something more important than such a role, he would not take any of the previous roles that had lines.

This made the girl very anxious, because she would have no money if she didn't take the role, and staying in Hengdian also had expenses. The two of them rented a house together, at least this amount cost more than 500, so the girl began to run around the crew desperately, and for Get better, get more famous, make more money.

"My face is corrected, double eyelids cost 500, face-lifting needles cost [-], the money for the nose is still a loan..." said while crying.

The boss couldn't help but laugh, "Then this time..."

"There was a scene that was being filmed in the Northeast. Didn't I come with me? Who would have thought that Fatty also came with me. He was afraid that I would suffer and be raped by others... wu wu... he actually cared about me and was good to me. , I know it all, but this guy... with his size, it’s so difficult to play a good role.”

It turns out that I also know that jobs like important supporting roles are hard to find.

"What to do after that?" the boss asked.

"I don't know, boss, actually... I also really like that sentence. There is no difference between having no dreams and salted fish, but I can't hold it any longer. I want to go home..."

The boss sighed, "I'll make you something to eat."

"what?"

"Free delivery."

This begins.

For an onion, cut it into thick slices, then remove the layers of onion rings inside, leaving a few large ones, and chop the small ones into minced onions.Then take carrots, rapeseed, and ham, cut them into pieces, take an egg, stir them together, and sprinkle some salt and pepper to form a paste.

Heat a pan with a little oil, put the onion rings first, then add the batter into the onion rings and fry slowly until golden brown.

Soon, round onion pancakes appeared.

"Boss, this dish?" "Try it."

"It's delicious. I didn't eat carrots before, but this way, it tastes so delicious."

"Just delicious."

Slowly, while eating, the girl couldn't help but shed tears, "Boss, I understand."

After saying that, he threw down the money and left.

The boss looked at the girl's back and just smiled.

"The entertainment industry is just like these onion rings, colorful and full of flavors. Whether you want to be the main ingredient or the topping depends on your personal practice. You may suddenly realize one day that this industry is the real main ingredient, and you are no better. It's just spinning in a circle, that's all... As for dreams, you can only truly understand them after you have tasted them."

After this monologue, the song began again.

This episode of "Night Food" has come to an end.

……

"How was it?! Hahaha...how was it? How was my performance?"

Dongshan Villa, after watching her episode, Mimi was so happy that she couldn't help but look like she was coming to praise me.

"Wow! Sister Mimi is great!" Xiaore, as a Mimi person, needless to say, was the first one to jump over and support her.

As for Tangtang and Xiao Zhao, they naturally had smiles on their faces, but they were also a little dissatisfied.

"My episode wasn't bad either. Why didn't I meet you and say yes?" Tangtang said.

"Who said it? I praised it." Mimi worked hard to maintain the plastic sisterhood.

Bai Shiqiu was also watching, and he still felt a little regretful about his own work. After all, this kind of unit drama was a bit short, and it was impossible to explain all the ins and outs in detail. He could only use this method to Let everyone understand some truths.

When dreams are regarded as goals, some people will inadvertently deviate from the course, and some people will take shortcuts. As for whether they are down-to-earth and step-by-step, that will be discussed in the next episode.

That's right, the next episode will be Shishi's play. She followed Mimi to find the [-]th-line director, and the [-]th-line screenwriters asked for the play, but later, Shishi took another path.

The boss made her a student lunch box. After she finished eating, she went to apply for an art school to study acting.

After watching this episode, Mimi quit at that time.

"Brother Bai! That's too much! He's the one with a serious academic background! He's the one!"

Mimi's behavior really made people laugh, and the scene was very happy for a time.

That's right, Mimi is a graduate of a major, and her grades are very good. On the contrary, Shishi just graduated from Beijing Dance University and did not specifically study acting. Such an arrangement is totally screwed up.

Mi Mi refused to follow her, shaking Bai Shiqiu like a rattle.

Lao Bai had no choice but to say: "This is the right arrangement. This role is suitable for you. This role reflects your acting skills. Look at Shishi, her performance is really just a true performance, and her acting skills are not as good as yours."

This was said so nicely that Mimi was indeed very happy and let Brother Bai go.

But Xiao Zhao on the side heard something, came over and whispered: "Teacher Bai, how good are you?"

After saying that, the girl ran away.

But after Xiao Zhao ran away, Xiaoreba came again, "Smelly brother, bully others."

What do these words mean?

Over there, Tangtang smiled and said nothing.

"..." Bai Shiqiu was speechless for a while. What we understand is to help Mimi express her acting skills.

In fact, in the play "Night Food", the food in it is just a carrier, and it is about telling the story of life.

There are great gods in Hengdian, but many people don’t understand what these great gods are about.

About 4 to 5 people go to Hengdian every year to work as part-time workers, but less than one-tenth of them can stay here for more than a month, and even fewer can stay here for more than three months.

When I came here, I was all about chasing my dreams, but after playing the role of a dead body for a few days, I discovered that I could make money while lying down, so I took a shower one day, and then went to an Internet cafe for three days. Such a state.

You don’t have to work anymore, you can make money while lying down, so why bother working hard?
When Bai Shiqiu traveled across the country, he met many Hengdian masters and was exposed to many stories. The two episodes of "Night Food" were only a small part of what he had experienced.

He was once like the fat man. After being awesome for a while, he started to put on airs and show off, until later he discovered that he was actually nothing, but his savings were almost spent.

The fat man in the movie is Fatty Liu. He is a walk-on. During the filming, he even cried and was quite emotional.

As for the story of Shishi, at least among the great masters of Hengdian, there is only one out of ten. There are too few who have truly taken the right path and tried every means to improve themselves.

Hengdian Master, this name is a mockery of himself.

Hengdian has no great masters, but more of a group of guys who chase their dreams but don’t want to work hard.They came, took part-time jobs, and found that it was more comfortable than working in a factory. Later, they found that they couldn't survive, so they left, and that was it.

They are the real dream eaters.

The reality may be cruel, but it is reality.

Bai Shiqiu wants to tell some stories and some truths through "Night Food". As for whether it will be useful or whether it will be helpful to these dream eaters, he doesn't know, but now that he has the ability, he will do it. .

Moreover, it can make money.

"Night Food" is already halfway through, and Bai Shiqiu doesn't think too much about it. His new drama has to start filming.

"Come on, this is the script of "To Youth". You guys should take a good look at it, especially Xiao Zhao. Are your acting skills good?"

Bai Shiqiu took out three notebooks and distributed them to Tangtang, Mimi, and Zhao Xiaoying.

"Brother Stinky, why don't you have mine?" Xiao Re was very surprised. In the past, if there was a drama, Brother Stinky would always bring her with him.

"Forget it and calm down. It's October now. You have to prepare for the exam and pass the exam, you know?" Bai Shiqiu scratched Xiaore's nose.

"Oops!" His nose was flattened by the smelly brother, but Xiaore was suddenly startled, "What? Is there a test now?"

"Yeah, what's the problem? The exam will be taken in February next year, and you're already 2."

"You, you are not my parents, why should you make the decision for me?"

"Stinky girl, your parents sold you to me, don't you know?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone laughed.Only Xiaore was very embarrassed.

The filming of "To Youth" began.

　Thank you all for your support, thank you!
　　Well, I really dare not say more, but the black car will go to the code now, work hard, thank you everyone.
