The birth of an actor

Chapter 83 Wang Shuo Also Takes Kidney Tonification (Seeking First Subscription!)

After finishing the shoot, Anxin left on her own.

Fan Bingbing's scenes haven't finished yet, so there's no need to wait for him.

I rode my motorcycle home.

Throughout the journey, he was actually somewhat dazed.

But it wasn't the kind of dazed state, otherwise he wouldn't have dared to continue riding. Rather, he was in a strange state where his mind was very clear, he knew to avoid people and cars and wait for traffic lights, but his thoughts seemed to have drifted off to something else entirely.

After returning home, the moment he stepped through the door, an indescribable weariness suddenly overwhelmed him.

I'm very tired, but it's not physical fatigue.

My head is still very heavy.

He felt so weak that he didn't even have the strength to walk to the bedside, so he propped himself up on the table and sat down.

The moment his buttocks touched the chair, he collapsed instantly.

I feel like all my energy and spirit have been drained away, and even my bones feel shattered.

He slumped onto the table and began to breathe heavily.

"Huh...huh..."

The sound rang in the room for quite a while before gradually subsiding.

Without anyone noticing, his face had turned towards the mirror.

But the reflection in the mirror turned out to be Voltaire.

The other person smiled at him silently.

Smile, and bow.

The elegant young man seemed to have treated the past two months as a leisurely trip.

Having experienced all the novelties, it's time to say goodbye.

Therefore, the friendship between gentlemen is as pure as water.

The sorrow of parting is no longer as intense as wine.

Therefore, what need is there for words?
Speechless.

After bowing respectfully, the young master smiled, lifted the hem of his long robe, and turned around with a flourish.

The journey is long and arduous, my friend, take care.

We will not speak of parting, nor of reunion.

We were originally from different places, but by chance we met in the world of martial arts and began a relationship.

in this way.

Then we'll forget each other in the vast world.

That would be the best.

in the mirror.

The figure disappears.

The void is nowhere to be seen.

"treasure."

Anxin's weary murmur echoed in the room.

But no one responded.

……

Before anyone knew it, Anxin had gone back to bed and fallen asleep.

When I woke up again, it was already past 2 p.m. on Monday.

When An Xin saw this time, she was completely stunned.

In a daze, I even thought I had been reborn.

I clearly got home during the day... I think it was around 4 pm?

But how come it's already 2 o'clock?

How long did they sleep?

The moment that thought crossed his mind, he was driven by a strong urge to urinate, got out of bed, and ran outside.

It was this run that once again filled me with an indescribable sense of fatigue.

I almost stumbled and crashed into the wall.

He quickly steadied himself, a question popping into his mind.

The aftereffects on actors... are they really that severe?

moment.

After finding Sui Xi in the front yard and confirming that it really was Monday, he returned to the house with a sigh of relief.

He picked up the pager; there were two messages on it.

One of them is about Fan Bingbing:
"I'm done with work, no rush to call back - Fan."

It was posted around 8 PM.

The other message was from Lu Shiyu.

"Don't worry, it's time to return the book. Lu Shiyu."

Upon seeing these two messages, An Xin paused for a moment, then got up and returned to the front yard.

He didn't reply to Fan Bing because it wasn't necessary. But Lu Shiyu had to reply, since he had indeed borrowed several books quite some time ago.

After leaving a message for Lu Shiyu to reply, he sat lazily at the table. Sui Xi, on the other hand, continued to read a book with great interest.

Anxin then realized... she hadn't repurchased "That Dog".

Oh dear, I only realized how many things I haven't done now that the play is over...

Just as I was pondering this, the phone rang.

"Hey."

Are you at ease?

"Yes, Brother Lu, it's me. I went to bed early yesterday and didn't see your message."

"Haha, I heard from Bingbing that you've finished filming. Congratulations!"

"Hey... Brother Lu, are you at school?"

"Yes, I went to borrow books yesterday, and the librarian reminded me that the books I borrowed were due for return. That's why I called you. Have you finished reading them?"

"I haven't finished reading just one book, 'Actor's Self-Emotional Management'... Brother Lu, can I borrow it again?"

"Yes, including this one. The main problem is that you borrowed it for more than 20 days. You need to come back and register it again before you can borrow it again without any problem."

"That's it..."

I calmly recalled today's lessons.

He only has one class on Monday afternoon.

It's definitely too late to go now.

So he said directly:

"Then I'll come find you now?"

"Sure, I don't have class this afternoon anyway."

"Okay, I'll go over there now."

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the library entrance?" "Sure."

After making their agreement, An Xin said goodbye to Sui Xi and went straight back to the backyard. Soon, carrying a bag of books, she rode her motorcycle towards the Beijing Film Academy.

As he passed by the Beijing Film Studio, a strange feeling welled up inside him again...

I don't know what kind of emotion I'm feeling, but it's just weird.

It's like everyone else is still in class, while you're already on vacation.

He arrived at the school gate, slipped inside, and headed straight for the library, where he found Lu Shiyu.

After exchanging greetings and catching up on each other's lives, the two went into the library together to return the books.

Lu Shiyu returned the book, while An Xin continued to look for other books that interested her.

By the time we came out of the library, it was already past 4 p.m.

"Don't worry, I actually wanted to ask this before... I noticed that you and Producer He have a pretty close relationship."

"I'm fine, what's wrong?"

The two talked as they walked toward the school gate.

"After filming 'My Fair Princess,' what are her plans for the future?"

"Hmm, I'm not sure about that..."

Anxin knew what Brother Lu wanted to ask, so she didn't hide anything and chose to tell the truth directly.

After all, aside from "Princess Pearl," he really didn't know what Aunt Qiong Yao's next move would be.

But it seems like it's just another adaptation of a novel.

But nobody knows which movie will be next, since Anxin isn't a contracted artist with their company.

But he still revealed everything he knew and speculated about.

Anyway, it doesn't affect anything.

After they reached the school gate, they continued talking about these things.

Lu Shiyu also expressed his embarrassment.

Now that the first semester of his junior year is almost over, starting from the second semester and throughout his senior year, the acting students will begin their internships, and everyone will be busy working towards their future. He is now also trying to leverage his network to seek more opportunities, since not all actors who graduate from the Beijing Film Academy have roles to play.

The two chatted at the school gate for about half an hour, until a little after five o'clock.

After watching the other person return to campus, An Xin, feeling sorry for even formally trained actors, was about to leave when suddenly a Mercedes-Benz pulled up at the school gate. The passenger window rolled down, and a voice called out to An Xin:

"Safe?"

Anxin subconsciously turned her head and was stunned.

Xu Jinglei?
Through the passenger window, he also saw the driver looking in their direction.

The man was probably in his thirties, with a buzz cut and slightly overweight...

Isn't that Wang Shuo?
He was somewhat surprised, but reacted quickly, walking swiftly to the car and politely greeting it.

"Hello, Sister Leilei and Teacher Wang Shuo."

"Ah."

Xu Jinglei smiled and responded, then opened the car door and asked:
"Why are you here?"

"Uh... I'm here to borrow a book."

Anxin gestured to her backpack.

"Aren't you at Renmin University? Can you borrow books from Beijing Film Academy?"

"I met a senior on set named Lu Shiyu..."

"Huh? You know Xiao Jiu?"

Xu Jinglei was clearly surprised.

Anxin was also hearing this nickname for the first time.

However, Xu Jinglei seemed to be preoccupied and didn't dwell on it too much, instead saying:

"Wait a moment, I'm going inside to get something... This is my boyfriend, Wang Shuo, you two talk first."

As she spoke, she ran towards the school.

"Uh……"

An Xin was somewhat speechless, but since the other person had told him to wait, he couldn't very well refuse. So, after the other person entered the school gate, he greeted Wang Shuo, who hadn't gotten off the bus yet, again.

"Hello, Mr. Wang Shuo, I'm An Xin. I met Sister Lei Lei on the set of 'A Sentimental Tale'..."

"I know you."

Having finished sizing up Anxin, Wang Shuo responded and then waved his hand:

"Get on the bus and tell them there are a lot of people here."

"Uh...no need, I'll just wait outside."

"Hey, it's so cold outside. Okay, hurry up, I'm closing the window."

With a unique sense of "generosity" characteristic of people from Yanjing, Wang Shuo rolled up the window and let him into the car.

Anxin had no choice but to open the back door of the Mercedes and get in.

As soon as he got on the bus, he saw an untied plastic bag in the back seat containing two medicine bottles. However, because it was already dark, he couldn't see what kind of medicine it was.

Then Wang Shuo said:
"You're the kid who broke her sunglasses, right?"

"..."

An Xin's lips twitched, and she was about to apologize when the other party waved his hand:

"But it's okay, out with the old, in with the new. You're from Renmin University?"

"Uh...right."

What department?

"news."

"Oh~ So you're interested in acting? If you're interested, why don't you just apply to the Beijing Film Academy?"

"Well, after I finished my college entrance exam, I went to visit a friend in Chifeng. It just so happened that someone from Qiongyao Company went to my friend's father to rent horses. They saw me and thought I was suitable for a role, so they asked me to give it a try... It was a coincidence, I guess. That's how I stumbled into this industry, and I find it quite interesting."

Wang Shuo immediately recognized his long sentences and asked:

"Are you from Northeast China?"

"Correct."

"where from?"

Fusong is located at the foot of Changbai Mountain.

"Oh~~"

After responding with a sound while holding the steering wheel, Wang Shuo suddenly fell silent.

Anxin didn't know what to talk about for a moment.

The atmosphere inside the car suddenly became quiet.

After about twenty seconds of silence, Wang Shuo suddenly spoke again:
"The three major specialties of Northeast China are ginseng, mink fur, and deer antlers... Do you know the benefits of deer antlers?"

An Jing was taken aback, and subconsciously said:

"I know that the Compendium of Materia Medica says that deer antler is good at tonifying the kidneys and strengthening yang, promoting sperm production and blood replenishment, and nourishing marrow and strengthening bones."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something, and his eyes became somewhat strange.
