Chapter 59 Birthday
“When will you come back?”
Gan Tao was puzzled by his mother Jiang Mei’s call. It was the New Year and the holidays were over. I asked him when he would go back and what he would do?
He hesitated and said, "I won't go back. I've entered another school and have been scheduling dramas recently!"
"No matter what kind of drama you are scheduled, you have to come back. Don't you do it on your 20th birthday?"
He was a little dazed and remembered that there were days when his 20th birthday was his last birthday. The countryside was not as good as the city, and the country people still attached great importance to the whole birthday every ten years.
"Oh, then I'll ask for leave later and rush back then."
After hanging up his phone, he walked into the classroom dedicated to students' rehearsal of dramas.
The 2001 performance class of Hai City Theatre Academy is now in its sophomore semester. There are not many students in the class, and there are only twenty-seven people counting over and over again. However, ten years later, you can also be called a star class!
Hu Ke, Yuan Hong, Han Ce, and Gan Tao who suddenly appeared would not be able to compete with the 96th Star Performance Class of the Beijing Film Academy in more than ten years.
When he entered the class on the first day, he was stunned and thought how could it be such a coincidence?
As for meeting the stars in my memory, he no longer took them seriously, and because of his joining, the most famous person in the entire class changed from Han Ce to him.
Compared to his classmates who have been with him for a year, although he is not unpopular, he has not been able to get along well with more than 20 classmates.
Wang Wei asked, "Tao, what do you choose?"
He smiled and said, "You can get the assignment, I can do it."
The rehearsal drama is called "The Embarrassing Things in the Dormitory". Men and women are divided into two groups. The boys are often praised by teachers for their strong lines as the person in charge.
As for Hu Ke, who has the most profound name in his memory, with long hair covering his ears, Yuan Hong, who has a buzz cut, can only be used as a running errand to carry props.
Wang Wei asked him: "Then can you act as a table?"
"All right, we are classmates, you are the person in charge, you can just give me instructions on what I do."
Although students should have a sincere heart and should not have a competitive atmosphere, Hai Opera is an art school after all, and many students in school life have participated in the filming of dramas, which is considered to have entered society with one step.
Therefore, it has brought about some bad social atmosphere.
"Hey, you guys have a lot of men, just give us two props."
Han Ce, who had participated in several TV series, pulled him and Hu Ke away without waiting for Wang Wei to respond.
The benefits of being handsome are reflected in the fullest moment. Who likes to squat with a bunch of rough men instead of the fragrant atmosphere!
He said without any worries: "I'm still acting in a table?"
"Ah, you play the table, Lao Hu plays the stool."
He inexplicably said: "Old Hu?"
Hu Ke replied with a smile: "I'll call to play."
A female classmate laughed and said, "In another two years, you may become a happy old man!"
A woman was shy when she met a group of men, but a group of women met a group of men, and the courageous one could fly into the sky.
The script of "The Embarrassing Things in the Dormitory" is very short, and he is also a prop. There are no lines throughout the whole process, only a bent over, but he can't move and feel tired.
Especially in the chattering ‘girls dormitory’.
The sun was halfway down, and after a complete rehearsal on both sides, someone shouted: "Everyone will have a dinner together tonight!"
Hu Ke asked him: "Let's go together?"
He smiled and said, "It won't work today, there's something to do tonight."
"Film?"
Looking at Hu Ke with his eyes full of light, he shook his head and said, "I haven't had any scenes recently, so I have some private matters."
After saying hello to a group of classmates, he first asked for leave, then went straight to the rental house to pack up his things, preparing to return home overnight.
...
"Manling, what do you think? Why do you have to be number one? Why can't others do it?"
In a Western restaurant far away in Hainan, Jiang Bingrou stopped the knife and fork in her hand, and looked at Chen Manling, who has been working for many years and is now the first screenwriter of Zhou Yi.
The two are of the same age and have worked together for many years. They were once close friends, but recently they made each other angry because of a script.
Chen Manling slowly cut a small piece of steak: "I promised to write a script for someone. You want to change people in the middle of the way, so what am I? A villain who has no faith?"
"You have little contact with him, and I don't know that although he is usually respectful and gentle in his eyes, he is unruly in his bones and difficult to manage."
"Artist management is your business, so I am responsible for writing the script, and I think Xiao Gan is not bad, so there shouldn't be so many twists and turns."
She didn't say anything but she wanted to leave, but the script was still in Chen Manling's hands.
She had seen the script and thought it was a good script. What's more important is that the martial arts costume script held in Chen Manling's hands is original and there is no copyright dispute.
Chen Manling chewed the steak slowly: "The male lead only recognizes Xiao Gan. If you want to win the aftermath, you can choose another role."
The imported steak and pure red wine did not make the two of them feel delicious, but the more they ate, the less delicious they tasted, until they parted.
...
On December 3, 2002, there were four tables in the main hall and yard of the Gan family, and there were only children.
There are so many relatives in the Gan family and Jiang family. This is because he is on TV. Otherwise, how could so many relatives come back from another place to celebrate their birthdays for a 20-year-old child?
After celebrating three uncles in the main hall, he turned his head and found that Gan Guohua, who was sitting in the yard, was holding a bowl of wine. He couldn't help but say in a panic: "Dad, why are you still drinking?"
Drinking and smoking were explicitly prohibited by experts from Haishi Hospital. Gan Guohua is not drinking now, but he is not a birthday boy who hangs himself - he doesn’t think he has a long life!
"Just drink a cup, and the rice is light every day!"
Gan Guohua finished speaking perfunctorily, holding a wine glass toasting Gan Tao's grandparents.
He had no choice but to stand for a while. Gan Guohua's illness kept making him feel like he was stuck in his throat. He was still helpless when he had many memories. He had too much money in his bank card and could not buy a person's life span.
Fate is a magical thing. Fate gives him a lot of memories in his mind. He should have made the Gan family rich and happy, but Gan Guohua's body is destined to not have a happy life.
"Then let's drink it." He murmured silently.
Scholars always have the arrogance of not surrendering to anything, let alone scholars who have been held back for two years.
The cough sounded in the middle of the night in a bedroom outside the upper floor. He was awakened by sleeping in the inner room. He glanced at his cell phone, and then stared at the white, uncarved roof.
He just stayed up until the early morning. Just as he was about to get up, Ye Qing sent him a text message asking him to go to Hainan for an audition.
He didn't take it seriously and understood that Zhou Yi now, whether it is Jiang Bingrou or other senior executives, is not friendly to him. Even if he goes to the audition, he is probably a small character that no one cares too much.
Fortunately, he now has a place to live. It is the state of my family. If he has no show to shoot, he will stay at school to rehearse the drama. Opportunities are always left to those who are prepared.
