The night lights on the streets of Beijing are much brighter than the moon in our small mountain village in western Zhejiang. When you called me at 9:30, I was in the subway, traveling through the subway of Beijing City.
Yes, on nights like this, I'm always on the run, rushing from this set to that one - you know how much trouble Beijing traffic is, a rush to get to the road for at least an hour or so, so that my night is always swaying in front of my eyes with flashes of neon lights, and rapidly regressing buildings! ...... I often fall asleep on the subway or in a cab, maybe for just a few minutes. Sometimes, by the time I get back to my school dormitory, it's going to be dawn, and the bustling, rushing day will begin again.
Oh, such a time, I am always very homesick, miss the familiar mountains and waters of Gouxi, a grass and trees, and my father and mother.
More than 8,000 people across the country to compete for 20 places, I am a rural boy, junior high school even a pair of sandals can not afford to buy people, but the test "North" ......
I was admitted to the Communication University of China in 2001, that is, the original "north" of the university. The original "Beigang". I'm not sure if you're going to be able to get the best out of it, but I'm sure you're going to be able to get the best out of it. How did I get into Communication University, you ask? I think now, I feel very lucky, really.
When I was studying in Qu Second Middle School, I always wanted to go to the military school, because the military school does not charge money. You know, my family is very difficult, and still live in the old house before the liberation. I didn't have money to study, so from junior high school I received financial support from Project Hope, and someone paired up with me. When I was in high school, the school gave me a partial tuition reduction. The principal said to me, as long as you go to school well and perform well.
I remembered the principal's words. I was very active in school, in addition to reading, I also participate in several clubs, and occasionally perform for my classmates fast boards, skits, and so on. I learned fast boarding from my father when I was a child. My uncle was a member of the Jinhua Wu Opera Troupe, and he sang wu opera in the 1950s, and he sang it for decades. The photo of him acting as Jigong is still enlarged and hangs on the wall of my house.
My father was not highly educated, and he was very happy to hear him say that when he was in his teens, he saw a few bamboo boards being used by the jiaowang artistes to knock on them, and he was very happy to hear that, and when he came home, he peeled a few bamboo boards and held them in his hands all day long. Then it is this self-created "three head" bamboo board, he never left his body, a lifetime on it to find fun.
My father had a great influence on me. I was very good at mimicking and ventriloquizing when I was a kid. At that time, we were washing clothes in the stream, next to a lot of women, my father and I spoke one sentence to another, just like a comedy, which made the women laugh.
I don't know how to dance, I don't know how to play the piano, I don't know how to practice, I don't know how to sing, I don't know how to study. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to get the best out of me, but I'm sure you're going to be able to get the best out of me. The teacher, Mr. Cheng Chunchun, said, "You have a good voice, so you can try to take the performance test." There was only one month before the exam, so I followed Mr. Cheng and learned from the VCD. I didn't expect that I would perform a piece of quick-playing during the exam, which made the examiners very interested. Now the head of the department in my university is still thinking about my fast board.
The junior high school when a pair of sandals can not afford to buy, every day barefoot running wild boy, so on the examination of the "North".
There are more than 8,000 people in the country competing for 20 places, and I'm such a rural boy, in addition to a passion, nothing - I can go into the "North Canton", you say I have how lucky. Until now, I am very grateful to Ms. Cheng, who was very kind and took care of me like a mother. In my growth path, there are so many people in the pull me, I think of it is very touching.
"Teacher mom" said to me: "You are a child without an umbrella, when it is raining heavily, people can hold an umbrella and walk slowly, but you have to run ......"
This is the first time that I have ever been to a university.
Going to college, the family loaned 40,000 yuan.
40,000 yuan for my family, is an astronomical figure, plus interest. In these years, I then carried a heavy pressure, or also a motivation to strive hard.
Tell you about my mom. My mom was a very strong person, and when I was 3 years old, she left home to work due to a conflict with my grandmother. I grew up without a mother's love. It wasn't until the summer I turned 19 and got into college that I started going to look for her. After a lot of trouble, I finally found her - she worked as a nurse in a hospital in Hangzhou ......
I always remember what Cheng Chunchun, the "teacher's mom," said to me. I always remember what Cheng Chunchun, the "teacher's mother", said to me: "You are a child without an umbrella, and when it rains heavily, people can hold an umbrella and walk slowly, but you have to run ......" Yes, before I came to Beijing to go to college, I didn't know anything, I didn't have anything. I've never seen a few movies, and the black and white TVs in my neighbor's house can only receive the Quzhou station. Came to Beijing, only to see so many high-rise buildings, only to know the subway, the beginning and people are nervous to speak ...... but I told myself to hold on, to be strong.
When I first entered the school, there were 23 people in the class, and I ranked 16th, and one year down the road, I became the first. It's the same with acting.
Since my freshman year, I've been working part-time while earning my own living expenses. Putting on commercial performances for companies, or organizing performances at school. The earliest for some TV and movie drama as a mass actor, waiting in front of the studio at 5:30 in the morning, a car pulled to the shooting location, to the people as a cow to make, and then in the middle of the night with the car pulled back, 20 yuan a day, I have also done.
Almost all of my classmates are from the city, and some of them are from very good families, or from artistic families, so I don't have to worry about food and clothing, and I don't have to worry about opportunities. I don't have any, I have to start from playing every small role. After the performance, the director can ask your name, that is the biggest success, because maybe next time there is a bigger opportunity.
In my freshman year, CCTV's "Dream Theater" did a special show for our school, and Bi Fujian came to select people, and I was chosen. I carefully pondered for a few days, and then performed a skit, "Eight Immortals Share Wine". The response was very good, and the skit went on to the annual Golden Statue Awards ceremony.
And Bifujian familiar, he appreciated my performance, let me do columns together, a **** do seven or eight, and later served as deputy director of two columns. Interact with Bi Fujian, I learned a lot of things, such as dedication. I remember the summer of 2003, the weather is still particularly hot, we came together to the Xin'an River in Zhejiang Province to do the program, working continuously for half a month, every day have to work more than 16 hours. After the program was done, the skin was sunburned off a layer.
Now I'm averaging 10 days a month of shooting. Recently, Zhejiang Children's Channel is broadcasting a children's drama "Lala and Ruby", I am also dubbing it. My life is non-stop work work work and work, more often than not I can earn up to 1,000 yuan a day. But now it's all about earning money for the bank. Some time ago, I wrote a letter to my father, telling him that the money I had borrowed for school would definitely be paid off by the end of the year. I think he will be very happy to see it.
Theatre is like life, I play every role, is a kind of growth; my life, is the need to keep struggling ......
Theatre play more, I began to play in those roles, step by step to grow up.
Now I slowly, began to understand mom. It takes a lot of courage for an illiterate rural woman to gain a foothold in the city. Who knows so many years, she is how to defy the difficulties to come ...... I think, this is life ah, this is life ah. Each person has his own way of living, have their own choice. Whether he chooses to be right or wrong, I learned to understand him.
After finding my mom, she finally went back home with me. Two days later, I stepped on the train and came to Beijing to go to school. Mom is still working as a caregiver in Hangzhou, and I'm always uneasy about her. Every month I have to call my mom and dad twice a month, and after I call my dad I call my mom ......
Learning to act in school, there are not many textbooks at all. The teacher teaches the class face to face, the homework is a skit, and then rehearsals at night; 6:00 a.m. to get up to practice, do exercises, practice lines, hang voice, say tongue twisters. It's a lot of fun to babble like a theater troupe.
In the past few years, there are too many people who want to be actors, and there are not enough porridge for students like me, so there is almost no chance. We all start from running a dragon set run, may be just a passer-by A, officer and soldier B, what lines are not, from the camera in front of a flash. But I put 100 percent of my heart and soul into everything I do, and I cherish every role I play to express myself and prove myself.
Sometimes at the end of a performance, standing on the stage, I can't help but cry when I hear the applause. Every scene is like my own child. You think about it, a month or a few months before the show, every day, constantly arguing with the director, experience, modification, scripts are torn, he has been completely integrated into the plot. The last curtain, this kind of taste of life, how will you feel.
I've acted as a migrant worker, a white-collar worker, a returnee senior intellectual, an oilfield worker, a baozi store owner, a third party,...... too many. I am now 23 years old, but having played these roles, I feel that my experience and mental age has been far more than 23 years old.
Now I look back and think, what did I get from acting? The old-timers say that in acting, professionalism accounts for 40%, and being a human being accounts for 60%. I have found a way to live my life in the theater. I am particularly happy and blessed. Stephen Chow acted in a movie where he shouted at the sea, "Strive! Strive!" Life is all about non-stop hard work and struggle!
