I'm not a drama freak, I can really see through the script

Chapter 3: There are always people who fall on the road of pursuing their dreams

After dinner, it was already 10:30 pm. When Li Xuan returned to his room, he was exhausted.
A single room for 100 yuan a month, behind Yang Ji Noodle House.

The room was narrow and cramped, with only room for a bed. There was no light during the day, and there was a simple small kitchen.

If you want to go to the toilet, you have to run to the public toilet a hundred meters away, which is a very troublesome thing. The female extras who live in this single room will touch up their makeup in this public toilet.
Li Xuan was used to this. After all, he had been a group performer in both his lives and had already mastered the skill of holding his urine and feces.
"Handsome guy, you're back." The girl who lives in the room next to Li Xuan is a tall, fair-skinned girl from Sichuan named Zhang Li. She has fair skin, beautiful looks and a lively and pretty face.

Those narrow and long phoenix eyes were still casting seductive glances at Li Xuan.

There are many temporary couples like this in Hengdian.

"Are you filming so late, or playing so late?" At this time, Zhang Li poked Li Xuan's arm with her hand in a teasing manner.

White, big, and shining.

faint.

Because of her physical characteristics, she often plays supporting roles as software hardening engineers in criminal investigation dramas. If you have to count, she should be considered a higher-level extra than Li Xuan. She has played many roles with at least one or two lines. Recently, I heard that she participated in the filming of "Black Ice".

"The Emperor of Han knows that I have accepted a role as an extra in a play. I should have a place to stay for the next two months." Li Xuan grinned at this time. Although the money paid by the CCTV crew was pitifully little, maybe only about 700 yuan a month, but the two meals provided contained meat.

Adding the fixed expense of 150 yuan per month for rent, there will be a few hundred yuan left.

"That's great! Why don't I have such good luck as you? Tell me, did you sell your ass to the director?"

This Sichuan girl speaks hotly.

"You are the one who sells your ass, I rely on my own strength!" Li Xuan was too lazy to pay attention to Zhang Li at this time. He went to bed early because he had to go to work on the crew the next day.

"so good"

At this time, Zhang Li was leaning against the iron gate, lighting a cheap women's cigarette, and handed one to Li Xuan: "Come with me and smoke one."

Li Xuan looked at the cheap cigarettes and thought for a while, forget it, what's wrong with smoking one with you.

Zhang Li did give Li Xuan a lot of benefits, so he can't be ungrateful.

She can often be seen wearing a miniskirt and lace suspenders, appearing and disappearing here. This blatant female Bodhisattva behavior makes Li Xuan feel refreshed.

The two single rooms faced each other, and both of them leaned against their own iron doors and smoked. For a while, the place was filled with smoke.

In the old town's single room, outside the porch and fence window, there are still pink lights that are not turned off, looking at the bright lights and feasting here.

"Ah Xuan, how old are you this year?"

"21."

"You're quite young. I'm 3 years older than you."

"Tsk, tell me this."

At this time, Zhang Li smiled and put down the half-extinguished cigarette butt, without saying anything. Her shoulder straps were already half hanging down, looking lazy and attractive, and particularly seductive under the pink light outside the window.

Li Xuan swallowed hard, but it was all tears. Who made him so "powerless"? This damn body, twenty-one years old, with a body that was more than forty years old.
I don’t know if it’s because he brought back the problems from his previous life due to time travel, or if it’s because of this body, but he is just so fragile.

Seeing that Li Xuan remained calm, Zhang Li felt a little disappointed and a little relieved.

"Thank you for smoking a cigarette with me. Go back to sleep. Good night."

"good night, see you tomorrow."

The next day, Li Xuan was full of energy. He stood up and looked at the full-length mirror next to him, only to find that his body was covered with a thin layer of muscle.

From skinny dog ​​to thin muscle, overnight?
Strength attribute! Added here!

That makes sense!
"Oh my god, this system is awesome."

At this moment, Li Xuan looked at himself in the mirror. He looked thin when dressed, but had muscles when undressed.

Li Xuan thought that it is better to share happiness with others than to enjoy it alone. Zhang Li had given him so many benefits before, and he also gave them to her. However, when he opened the door, he found that the room opposite was empty.

The room is empty.

Then he found a small letter stuffed in front of his door.

It was a letter from Zhang Li. Her handwriting was beautiful, very graceful. "By the time you see this letter, I'll have already left and returned to my hometown in Mianyang. My family found me a job in telecom customer service. I'm also dating a nice guy. We met a few times during the Chinese New Year, and I'm pretty good."

"I used to be a special actor and saved some money. I plan to buy a piece of land in my hometown and build a house."

"There are still some things left in the room. If you need them, take them away. If you don't need them, that's fine. The landlord will help me throw them away."

"By the way, I'm not 3 years older than you this year, I'm 6 years older than you."

"When I return home, I will miss you and miss my happiness here (love)."

The letter ended with a piece of Martian text that had a very old-fashioned feel.

Li Xuan was silent.

Zhang Li has returned to her hometown.

Most of the extras here probably have such an ending, especially for actresses. If they can't get up at their best age, the chance will be even slimmer when they are over 30.

It's time to wake up from the dream.

I've been in this world of feasting and drinking for two lifetimes and have seen too much.

Willingly, like Zhang Li, accept the gamble and go back to her hometown while she still has some savings and good looks.

Those who are unwilling to give up continue to waste their time, and those who stay by any means necessary are like the pink light that is still transparent. Some of those who stay have no choice but to become Kun in the end.

Frankly speaking, the girls on the street outside this alley are even better looking than those in Dongguan simply in terms of their figures and looks, but they still haven't been able to pursue their dreams.

Why do you want to be an actor?

Why do you want to make a name for yourself in this world of feasting and drinking?

Even if I have to deliver food to make a living, I will keep going.

It's funny, but part of the reason is that I really love it. I have loved watching various TV dramas, novels and movies since I was a child, and I always wanted to watch and act in them.

I always want to stand out and become famous.

When I was in elementary school, my grades were pretty good. When I reached junior high school, my grades were still average, and when I reached high school, I was completely at the bottom of the class.

From being pretentious to becoming mediocre, classmates don’t want to contact you at reunions, and relatives and friends regard you as dispensable and keep their heads down silently. You are not introverted or taciturn, but people really don’t bother to pay attention to you.

Maybe even when you die, only your parents will know that you ever existed. Well, Li Xuan, whose parents died when he was in high school in his previous life, will not be remembered by anyone.

A speck of dust that never existed.

Are you willing?
Not reconciled.

That's why we ended up living in the world of feasting and revelry.

Chase your dream self.

It’s a pity that before I traveled through time, the film market had already begun to solidify and entered an era of absolute solidification where the strong will always be strong.

Only those chosen by capital can succeed.

Not reconciled.

That's why after dying, I came to the beginning of the millennium in this parallel world.

Forget it.

This is also an era of equally cruel elimination.

At this time, Li Xuan put the farewell letter carefully in his pocket and placed an unlit cheap cigarette at the door of the wide-open single room.

Goodbye, Sister Zhang Li.

But I.

We have to keep moving forward.
