Chapter 36 Society
After making three consecutive phone calls, Xu Rongcai finally asked for the address of Li Xuejian's home.
They were not redirected through other people, but all three calls were made to Li Xuejian.
When Xu Rong mentioned his thanks, Li Xuejian said that it was not unilateral guidance, but mutual learning. Moreover, he had already thanked the crew while he was busy, so there was no need to make a special trip.
It wasn't until Xu Rong told the truth for the third time and wanted to ask some questions that Li Xuejian finally revealed his home address.
To evaluate a person, you should not judge a person by what he says, but by how he acts. This is what Xu Rongsan realized after a phone call.
Because he himself has also learned to be humble, but he is not as thorough as Li Xuejian. Although he is more mature, at certain times, his youthful frivolity will always show up inadvertently. Otherwise, when filming "New Shanghai Beach", he would also
Wouldn't laugh at the performance of the "Frowning Duo".
But Li Xuejian's modesty is not only in words, but also reflected in actions.
He has never shown that he despises anyone because his professional skills are better than others. Even when giving guidance, he always uses the tone of discussion or suggestion, as if he himself said that he is just a primary school student.
Elementary school students whose overall evaluation reached S.
Xu Rong sometimes thought that Li Xuejian's reputation today was absolutely closely related to his personal humility. At this point, he was envious.
There are many actors of Li Xuejian's age, but none of them are as famous as him.
At a certain moment, he also thought about whether to imitate Li Xuejian, but in the end he rejected it. He asked himself that he could not do that. He would learn and learn from it, but he would never imitate it outright.
He is Xu Rong, not Li Xuejian, and he does not have a cousin who is a great director.
And in his opinion, Li Xuejian cherishes feathers a bit too much. Li Xuejian has almost never accepted commercial performances or brand endorsements. For an actor, these are the bulk of the money. Just relying on the salary to ensure food and clothing may not be too big.
The problem is, if you still want to be rich, it is basically impossible.
Li Xuejian is not wealthy, at least from the perspective of his residence. The community is old and does not even have an elevator. It should be a family home built in the 1980s and 1990s.
Doorbells and the like are even more extravagant.
Xu Rong banged the security door a few times. The person who opened the door was a young man about his age, wearing a white T-shirt and blue printed shorts. The young man stood behind the security door and looked him up and down before opening the door.
He opened the door and said with curled lips: "Are you the one named Xu that my dad said?"
When Xu Rong heard what he said, he knew that he had found the right door. He smiled and said, "Yes, the teacher is at home, right?"
The young man in front of me looks somewhat similar to Li Xuejian, so he should be Li Xuejian's son.
"How do you talk?" Li Xuejian hurriedly got up from the sofa in the living room, walked to the door, and said, "Xiao Xu is here, come in and talk."
Xu Rong walked in and said, "Teacher, your preschool students are here to see you."
"Hey, don't talk about this." Li Xuejian smiled and waved his hand. He noticed the gift box in his hand, and the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and said: "Come here, why are you taking things?"
"No, how can you ask for help if you don't get something?" The young man who opened the door stood aside and added lightly. Seeing that Li Xuejian wanted to scold him again, he said, "I'm going back to the house first."
Xu Rong was a little embarrassed. What the other party said was true. He was indeed asking for help.
At this time, a thin middle-aged woman walked up to the balcony, with a few smile lines already visible in the corners of her eyes, and said: "Xiao Xu, sit down quickly and say, the child is ignorant, don't take it to heart."
"This is your Aunt Yu," Li Xuejian introduced. He turned around and shouted twice into the house, but there was no movement. Then he smiled bitterly and said, "That's you... By the way, how old are you this year, Xiao Xu?"
Xu Rong first said hello to Aunt Yu, and then said: "I was born in 1987, so I am 19."
"What a coincidence." Aunt Yu poured him a glass of boiled water and said, "He is born in the same year as our Li Gen. Come on, have a drink of water. In what month will you give birth to your baby, Xiao Xu?"
Xu Rong really couldn't answer this question. He really didn't know his birthday. Grandpa only said that it was winter when he picked him up. But whether he was born half a month ago, a month or two months ago, the old man couldn't tell clearly.
.
On his ID card, it was written January 1, because the old man picked him up that day.
So at this time he could only give a rough estimate of the season: "I was born at the end of the year."
"Hey, then Li Gen is a few months older than you." Aunt Yu moved a small bench and sat on the opposite side, saying, "Your teacher Li told you earlier, saying that you are young and down-to-earth.
He can also act, but he is much more worry-free than our Li Gen."
"Then I have to call you brother," Xu Rong said with a smile, "You are really young and down-to-earth, and I can benefit from my acting skills."
"Don't, I can't bear it." Li Gen poked his head out of the room, looked at Xu Rong and said, "Hey, let me tell you, are you here to chat about home affairs? That's a good relationship. How about I go to the street to give it to you?
Weigh two kilograms of melon seeds?”
Before Li Xuejian could say anything, Aunt Yu grabbed the feather duster under the table and said loudly: "Li Gen, are you itchy?"
"Come on, I won't speak. It's alright if I don't speak. Little brother, if you nag you, leave me alone."
Xu Rong looked at Li Gen who was shrinking back, feeling quite envious in his heart. He did not have such a family, and it was difficult for him to develop such a character, carefree and lacking in beatings.
"Is the filming finished?" Li Xuejian laughed twice before asking: "How is it? Did it go well?"
Xu Rong nodded first, then recounted the general situation after he left the group, and finally said: "It's really difficult to film a scene. It took us three days to shoot one scene. If it weren't for the fear of delaying the progress, I would have
I feel like the director can come back one more day."
"Haha", Li Xuejian laughed loudly, probably thinking of Xu Rong and Huang Xiaoming's embarrassed appearance.
After he finished laughing, he said: "Actually, I'm also afraid of filming, but as actors, since we have eaten this bowl of rice, we can't pick and choose based on our own preferences. The good ones should be shot carefully, and the bad ones should be taken more seriously.
Take pictures carefully."
In fact, Xu Rong didn't plan to ask for advice the first time he came to the house. Once it was familiar, it would be familiar again. Anyway, there were still two months until the new drama started filming, so he just made a few more trips.
At eleven o'clock at noon, after expressing his gratitude, Xu Rong stood up and said: "Teacher, Aunt Yu, I will go back first."
Aunt Yu hurriedly said: "Why are you leaving? If you stay for a meal, is it possible that you dislike Auntie's craftsmanship?"
With people talking like this, Xu Rong couldn't insist on leaving anymore and said: "Then I will trouble Auntie."
Li Xuejian had prepared six dishes for his arrival, which Xu Rong guessed from Li Gen's surprised expression.
While eating, Li Xuejian seemed to have remembered something and asked, "Xiao Xu, what do you think of acting?"
Xu Rong didn't hide it from him. He didn't dare to look down on Li Xuejian, who had lived for a long time and had made certain achievements in a certain industry. People who eat salt may not eat as much rice as he does, but
, as an actor with an S-level rating, his observation ability is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary people, and he can still tell the truth from lies.
"Like it, I feel very happy when I'm acting," he thought for a moment, and then added: "But at the beginning of the year, I took on a film, and I worked with Teacher Ni Dahong at that time. At that time, I knew I had to
Play with awe."
"Well, that's right." Li Xuejian nodded and said, "It's good if you understand this. We actors used to be actors. What is an actor? There are three religions and nine schools, which are the most despised by people. Nowadays, society has improved, and there is no distinction between one and the other.
Yes, but you must also remember that the audience is God. I remember a little fat man who said cross talk said something very good. How to say it, ah... yes, I hope the fathers of Jiangshan can tolerate me and don’t bring trouble to the world.
Money for sin.”
Xu Rong knew that the little fat guy Li Xuejian was talking about was not tall, his surname was Guo, and his name seemed to be some kind of tank. He was very popular in the cross talk circle recently, but he seemed to be a socialist, and his reputation was mixed.
Li Gen was half-lying on the table. When he saw Li Xuejian and Xu Rong, their faces were serious, as if they were discussing important national affairs, he couldn't help but make a "tsk, tsk" sound in his mouth, and muttered: "To be honest, it's all about making money."
Xu Rong turned to look at Li Gen, nodded, and said: "That's true, but if you can make money happily, you are very lucky."
"Hey, little brother, look at you, you can't even hear a joke. Let me tell you, you are still young and don't understand. Hey, this money is a bastard..." Li Gen stroked his book.
He held the chopsticks in his non-existent sleeves and gestured in the air with excitement. He was about to continue talking, but his mother hit him on the forehead with a chopstick.
"Li Gen, you are the only one who has a mouth, right?"
"Hey", Li Gen rubbed his forehead, subconsciously leaned back on the chair, opened his small eyes a little, and said: "I am imparting social experience to this little brother, why are you so impatient?"
"As far as you have social experience, you know what society is..."
Xu Rong had finished his meal and didn't stay much. When he came back for the first time, he just looked familiar. He had already found his home, could he still run away?
After Xu Rong went out, Aunt Yu picked up the water glass on the table and went to the kitchen to wash it. After a while, she came out again and put the water glass on the red porcelain plate on the table while wiping the water stains on the table.
While talking to Li Xuejian, who was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, he said: "This kid really doesn't treat others like a nineteen-year-old student. If you look at us again, it won't make you worry at all."
"There must be reasons that we don't understand for Xiao Xu's personality today. He is like an adult at a young age, and he must have experienced the beatings that an adult must experience." Li Xuejian first glanced at his wife and paused.
