Disaster Artist

Bang bang bang bang, Li Ji shook the glass in his hand, the ice cubes hit the glass and made a crisp sound, all the alcohol inside had been consumed, he thought for a while, his thick black eyebrows like caterpillars knitted together, Asked the bartender at the bar for a glass of whisky.

After greeting, Li Jicai remembered, turned to look at Ou Cuixia next to him, and asked, "Do you want it?"

Ou Cuixia glanced at Li Ji, "You are already in the third cup, and before the meeting starts, you are about to get drunk."

Li Ji didn't speak, he knew that Ou Cuixia was right, and he himself was at war between heaven and man, not sure if he should continue drinking.

The TV hanging above the bar is playing entertainment news, as expected of Lanchuan——

"This year's Weihai Film Festival has been officially confirmed and will be held from May 14th to 25th in Weihai, a small town on the Gold Coast. At present, the last round of registration work has been completed, and the main competition unit is shortlisted. The works will also be announced one after another in two weeks..."

Li Ji was a little stunned, Weihai Film Festival...

"...According to industry rumors, Lu Qian, the young director who filmed 'Unfriend' and 'Raid', his latest work 'Tourist' - formerly called 'Xue Beng', is likely to have signed up for the Weihai Film Festival."

"But at present, Lu Qian refuses any form of interview. There are speculations that Lu Qian is carrying out post-production in full swing, and there are also news that the post-production work is seriously lagging behind, and it is very likely that he will not be able to catch up..."

His thoughts were interrupted by the voice next to him, Li Ji turned his head to look over, collected his attention, and showed a trademark business smile.

"...Right, you're the...that who! The one in that youth comedy..." The young man standing in front of him held a bottle of beer and looked at Li Ji with a smile on his face, but because I couldn't remember the name and was struggling, and then it kept repeating in place like a tape stuck.

But Li Ji was already familiar with it, and reminded, "'Apple Pie'."

"Yes, yes, yes! 'Apple Pie', you are the caterpillar dad in 'Apple Pie'!" The young man finally remembered.

Li Ji immediately cooperated to show his classic expression in the movie, and then wriggled his eyebrows. After successfully making all the young people laugh, they left in a hurry, without asking for autographs or anything, just like watching a circus. leave in general.

After the young man left, Li Ji could see Ou Cuixia's expression, with a bit of self-deprecating bitterness, and pouted, "We're all used to it, but sometimes I'm just glad that I wasn't recognized."

"Ha." Li Ji laughed dryly and couldn't agree more.

Lanchuan, a flashy Vanity Fair with countless spotlights and spotlights, but no matter how many lights there are, there are still shadows that cannot be illuminated.

Li Ji and Ou Cuixia were forgotten in the shadows.

Li Ji has been in the industry for more than 40 years. He is 68 years old this year and can be regarded as an industry veteran.

In the first twenty-five years of his career, he has been active in TV dramas and movies, but he never got the chance to lead the lead role.

Until fifteen years ago, a youth **** comedy "Apple Pie" was born, and it became so popular that he played the role of an open-minded father, transmitting correct "sexual" knowledge to his son, and made a lot of trouble. joke.

With his characteristic caterpillar eyebrows and open-minded and funny father figure, Li Ji has won a lot of attention and won him many performance opportunities - all of them are father roles, from the small screen to the big screen, but these None of the self-repeating characters can go beyond "apple pie."

Such actors are called "blue-collar workers" in Lanchuan.

Of course, it is difficult to support a living just by relying on these roles, so Li Ji can also be called a multi-resident artist. He has acted in stage plays, said stand-up comics, directed advertisements, wrote scripts, etc., but he has never entered Lanchuan. The spotlight center, that is, the existence of industry screws.

The same is true for Ou Cuixia, who is 59 years old this year and has also been rolling around in the industry for more than 35 years.

Compared with Li Ji, Ou Cuixia's career development was not bad in the early stage. Although she also played a supporting role and appeared as a friend of the protagonist, she often left a deep impression because of her strong personality and lines, and won her a career. The most important role -

The holiday family comedy "Home Alone" as a mother was an incredible success at the box office, breaking a series of box office records and earning more than $8 billion in profits for Xiongshi Pictures, including box office, DVD, merchandise , copyright, etc., become phenomenal works.

As the main actor, Mai Donglin became an instant hit, and at the age of twelve, he has become the hottest face in the world.

In the movie, Ou Cuixia has the most roles among many supporting roles and is very outstanding, which also won her a series of opportunities to play her mother, which is the same as Li Ji; but slightly different, Ou Cuixia is more fortunate, she There are more invitations, and once was able to gain a firm foothold in the "B coffee" position, and it can be regarded as a name in the entertainment industry.

It's a pity that "Home Alone" was a full twenty-five years ago, and Ou Cuixia has not received any roles for three full years.

Some people may feel sorry for Li Ji and Ou Cuixia, but the fact is that they are the truth of Lanchuan Vanity Fair, and there are many people who are like them or even worse than them.

Just like Mai Donglin, after he became popular, in just three years, he quickly degenerated because of drugs and alcohol. It was even worse when his parents squeezed his son dry for money. He disappeared like a meteor in a blink of an eye. this person".

The cruelest thing about the entertainment industry is that some people used to stand in the center of the spotlight, enjoying the cheers and applause, but it was fleeting, and then they were left in the corner, no one cared, that kind of free fall to the bottom of the valley The taste is the most terrifying, always reminding them of their incompetence and insignificance.

It is precisely because of this that some people will do anything in order to win a position, some people will do whatever it takes to get a chance, and some people will always live in the past and die.

Also because of this~www.novelmt.com~ they need the numbness of alcohol, which allows them to escape from reality for a short time, and then drill into the best moments of their own memory to ease those pains a little.

In that room, all the eyes of the world turned to the Weihai Film Festival. Even if there was no news that Lu Qian was going to participate, the news of chasing the wind was still heard.

In this room, Li Ji and Ou Cuixia were drinking in the bar, but no one cared about it, not even the paparazzi were curious about what they were doing.

So what exactly are they doing?

They are in a meeting, or at least preparing for a meeting, a comedy series written and created by Li Ji and his son Li Lang, hoping to be favored by the TV station, and they don't want to make a comeback, they just want to be able to make a living, eager to start anew Get back in front of the camera and perform again.

However, easier said than done?

reject. reject. reject.

The results of using all their connections were all refusal, and Lan Chuan closed the door mercilessly to them.
