Chapter 16 The Friendship of a Bowl of Noodles
"You say you, after so many days, there is no movement at all, I thought there was no one in this room."

"I have owed rent for several months, and the landlady's old lady comes to squat me at night. I can only pretend that there is no one in the house, and I dare not even turn on the lights, for fear that she will drive me out."

"Then how do you usually eat?"

"I bought a lot of steamed buns, and I can just deal with a few bites at night."

Jia Lin grabbed a mutton skewer and brought it to her mouth. With a flick of her tongue, a pull of the skewer, and a few smacks of her mouth, the mutton skewer was eaten immediately.

I ate more than a dozen skewers in a row.

"Is it delicious?" Jiang Yu looked at her with an unfinished look.

"It's delicious, it's so delicious," Jia Lin couldn't help but wiped the corners of her eyes, tears streaming down her face.

Jiang Yu was surprised, "Why is this so delicious that I cried."

"Brother, to tell you the truth..."

"Hey, don't call me brother, I should be younger than you."

"Brother," Jia Lin climbed up the pole, "to tell you the truth, my sister hasn't eaten meat for almost a month."

When Jia Lin talked about her experience, she was so sad that her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

She was finally admitted to the Drama Academy. When she was choosing a major, the admissions team called her home. Because of her accent problem, her mother thought the drama performance was a comedy performance, so she enrolled her in the cross talk performance major.

In the field of cross talk, women have always been disliked. Jia Lin couldn't get a performance at all. It can be said that she was unemployed after graduation.

She has no choice but to work around, as a group performer, a guest host, and as a temporary assistant for an artist. It can be said that she has done all the jobs she can do, and she can barely make ends meet.

The most difficult thing was this month. I owed the landlord two months' rent, and I didn't earn a penny. I could only sell a Walkman for 20 yuan, and I almost starved to death.

That's why she can tear up tears while eating a skewer.

Really hungry, and wronged.

"Are you full? How about I order some more noodles for you?" Jiang Yu looked at her with an unfinished look.

Jia Lin wiped the oil from the corner of her mouth, and said with an embarrassed smile, "That's so embarrassing, I ate all your skewers."

"You're welcome, who hasn't had a difficult time yet," Jiang Yu said, carrying a knife to the kitchen to order noodles.

"Brother, you're such a nice person, really," Jia Lin got up and followed into the kitchen, "I have a specialty, that is, I can see who can be with someone and who can't, I can tell at a glance. You're one of those people who can."

Jiang Yu was boiling water. Hearing this, he said with a smile: "I also have one advantage. I have been an electrician since I was a child. Look at the high-voltage wires. I can tell if there is power or not."

"Haha," Jia Lin snorted, tears still not wiped away, "I'm serious, just wait, my sister will be prosperous in the future, and I will never forget you."

Jiang Yu said: "This is what you said, Gou Fugui, don't forget each other."

"Well, Gou Fugui, don't forget each other!"

In the narrow kitchen, Jiang Yu poured a pot of water into the pot, boiled it, put in two handfuls of longxu noodles, poured in the leftovers from lunch, put a spoonful of salt, and dripped a few drops oil, the fragrance comes out.

Jia Lin leaned against the door, looking at Jiang Yu's busy figure surrounded by smoke in the kitchen, she was so moved that she salivated.

"Sizzle~"

"Positive energy value from Jialin, +99!"

When the noodles came to the table, the two shared a bowl and sat opposite each other.

At this time, Jia Lin was only 24 years old, and it was the time when her youthfulness faded and she became mature.

The body is very sensual, but not as fat as before, and the face is not as round as before. With a ponytail tied, it is really youthful and beautiful.

At this time, he was holding a bowl, pulling the noodles sideways into his mouth, grinning from the heat.

Jiang Yu looked amused.

This girl is really big-hearted, and she doesn't show any outsiders at all. No wonder so many people like her later.

Jia Lin said: "Hey, I've told you everything about me, I don't know what you do, I heard you often play the guitar in the room, are you in a band?"

Jiang Yu said: "No, I used to be a security guard, but now I've resigned, and I'm preparing for the art test."

Jia Lin patted her thigh, "I just said, you look so good-looking, it's a pity not to be an actor."

"I'm familiar with the art test, can you use me to tutor you, including teaching and meeting."

Just as Jiang Yu was about to say no, Jia Lin said directly: "It's so decided. If I give you tutoring, it will be your meal money. I won't eat you for nothing."

"That's fine," Jia Lin said so positively that Jiang Yu had no choice but to agree.

There is no way to tutor those talents, figures, performances, etc. Jiang Yu himself knows it well.

After the two discussed it, Jia Lin simply prepared a mock interview for Jiang Yu.

"Candidates, please listen to the questions. May I ask why you applied for the film academy?" Jia Lin asked with her voice closed.

"Because I want to be an actor," Jiang Yu replied.

"Then why don't you go to drama school?"

"Because, because..." Now Jiang Yu couldn't come out "because".

It can't be said that it's because I applied for the film school in my previous life, so I have experience.

In the end, he gave up, and Jiang Yu simply said, "Because I worked as a security guard at the Film Academy, I got an extra 50 yuan per month for food."

Jia Lin smiled, "Brother, can you pass the exam with this answer? You have to think about why the examiner asked you this question."

"In order for me to brag about their school?"

Jiang Yu felt that this kind of question was simply boring.

"Then you really don't understand the mind of the examiner." Jia Lin looked like someone who had come here, and smiled secretively. "My sister took the exam twice that year before she figured out this question."

"The core of this question is not the film school, but why. What the examiner really wants to ask is, do you have a plan for your own future? What do you really want to do?"

Jiang Yu suddenly realized, and blurted out: "I just want to make money, and being an actor makes money fast."

Jialin: ...

You kid doesn't play by the rules.

Is it a legitimate reason to be an actor and get paid quickly?

Even if you really think so, you can't say it clearly.

"Negative energy value from Jalin, +15!"

Having said that, under the guidance of Jia Lin, who has been there, Jiang Yu has roughly figured out the interview routine and prepared for some possible questions.

Time flies by.

Jia Lin still sneaked out to perform during the day, and sneaked back at night. In order to hide from the landlord, she didn't even dare to turn on the lights.

And Jiang Yu finally waited for the art test, an opportunity that could change his fate.

According to the previous preparations, the initial test was passed smoothly.

When it was time for the re-examination, the talent show used a "Maiba Experience Card" and played and sang "Old Boy". It was obvious that the teacher's eyes lit up.

There are many candidates who can sing, but those who can be original are too rare.

Then there was an impromptu performance. A group of young handsome men and beautiful women sat outside the door waiting for the exam. A few girls were shaking like a sieve, which was called a nervousness.

Jiang Yu behaved very calmly, after all, she was on her body.

"Would you like to use the 'Actor Experience Card', which is valid for one hour?"

"Yes."

"Failed to use, the 'Maiba Experience Card' is taking effect, and the new experience card cannot be used temporarily."

Jiang Yu was shocked at the time.

I am special!
This dog system didn't tell labor and management that the two experience cards cannot be used at the same time!

The exam is about to come, who can bear such a sudden occurrence?
"The next one, candidate No. 27, please get ready to enter."

At this moment, the staff reminded.

Jiang Yu was startled, it's coming to me so soon.

After a while, Yang Mi walked out of the examination room with a high face, his eyes were red, and he seemed to have cried.

She grew up in the crew since she was a child, and crying impromptuly was just a trivial matter.

But Jiang Yu didn't have that ability.

"Huh~" He took a deep breath, stabilized his mind, and walked into the examination room.

Up to now, he can only rely on his ability to fight hard.

Why don't you just go to the grave, it's not like you haven't been there before.

Walking into the examination room, there were seven or eight teachers sitting in a row, including Wang Zihong, and several other staff members. An electronic clock was placed on the table.

"Candidates, please listen to the questions. Your performance topic is going to the grave. You will have 3 minutes to prepare."

As the examiner spoke, he pressed the countdown of the electronic clock.

Jiang Yu looked at the red countdown, his mind was racing, and he couldn't help but recall the scene when he went to the grave in the countryside.

As he thought about it, he sighed deeply, then squatted down, and made a motion of lighting a cigarette.

Clamping the non-existent cigarette with two fingers, he took a puff from his mouth and exhaled slowly, his eyes were blurred, as if he was recalling an old friend.

"Oh," he sighed softly, lit another cigarette, and stuck it in front of the grave.

There were no tears, no lines, but the meaning I wanted to express was very clear.

Brother, I'm here to see you, let's have a cigarette.

"Positive energy value from Wang Zihong, +10!"

"Positive energy value from Li Wei, +15!"

"..."

Looking at the refreshed income records in the income records, Jiang Yu knew that this level had been passed.

After Jiang Yu went out, several examiners had a chat.

"I met a good seedling this year, who is savvy."

"Number 26 is not bad. You can cry when you say it. It's not bad to have such expressiveness at this age."

"Who goes to the grave to shed tears? He has already performed in a model at such a young age. I think it is better to be on the 27th. He has a life and observation."

Several teachers nodded together.

In many cases, a good performance does not depend on how well you can act, but whether you can understand the characters and life.

Otherwise, watching "Lust, Caution" and lamenting that it is not good to be a mistress, watching "A Dream of Red Mansions" lamenting that puppy love is not good, watching "The First Incense" lamenting that "love is not the humbleness of one person but the bravery of two people", this is impossible. up.

The level of education is too low to even understand the characters, let alone act.

Soon, the impromptu performance session ended, and the group began to draw lots to perform sketches, with self-made topics and 5 minutes of preparation time.

Jiang Yu's group consisted of five people, three women and two men. Coincidentally, he knew both of them.

"Have you guys acted before? Is there anything you want to do?" Mi Yang asked proactively.

Zhang Xiaofei has long legs, but she is dressed in a simple way, staring at her big eyes and shaking her head.

After a round of questioning, except for Yang Mi and Jiang Yu, none of this group had any acting experience, so the decision naturally fell on them.

Yang Mi said: "Everyone has watched "The Hutong Family", or just play this one, the five of us happen to have enough roles."

As a result, the four of them shook their heads together.

"Hutong Family" was broadcast on Yanjing TV in the 90s, and later local TV stations also rebroadcasted it, but obviously not all families are so wealthy that they can afford a TV.

Jiang Yu said: "Why don't you just act in the grave, didn't you just acted in it just now, it's a coincidence."

"This is good!" Zhang Xiaofei was the first to agree.

The other two also said they had no comment.

"Well, let's go to the grave." Mi Yang's cooperation ability has always been very strong. After seeing the other people's agreement, he didn't insist anymore.

This mode of group cooperative performance actually not only examines the performance ability, but also examines the ability of cooperation and communication.

If the opinions cannot be unified for a long time, it will not only waste time, but also leave a bad impression.

After the five people reached an agreement, they began to assign roles.

Mi Yang said that she could play the granddaughter and went to visit the grandfather's grave. Zhang Xiaofei suggested that she could play the mother, and another pair of candidates took advantage of the situation to play the mother and son.

So the basic storyline came out:
Grandpa had two daughters. After his death, the daughters brought their children to visit Grandpa's grave on Ching Ming Festival.

The last four looked at Jiang Yu who did not speak together.

In order to attract the examiner's attention, everyone racked their brains and tried their best to add drama to themselves, but Jiang Yu remained silent and calm.

"Why are you in no hurry, what are you going to do?" Mi Yang asked.

"I play the tomb," Jiang Yu replied.
