Chapter 7 Actor's Dream

In the small apartment unit in the village in the city, the water from the shower splashed for a while, and then stopped.

Because of the message that Sister Hua replied, Lei Yue ran all the way back from the Furong Market, found a set of clean clothes in the bedroom, and went straight to the bathroom to take a shower and change.

[Sister Hua: I remember you, the one who looks scary, right? You can come over and try, cover your face, as long as you can endure hardship]

At this time, in the narrow bathroom, Lei Yue was standing in front of the sink, looking at himself in the mirror.

A gray hooded sweater with jeans, as long as the hood of the sweater is pulled up, and the short and medium hair can almost cover the half of the bad face.

In fact, he no longer wants to cover it up...

The body is an actor's creative tool. To become an excellent actor, one must face one's own body, and constantly train, explore and control this tool.

Actors can't escape their own faces, and they can't escape.

Lei Yue really doesn't want to cover up like before. Of course, in order to play different roles, some makeup, modeling and body modification are necessary.

Therefore, some good actors will be praised by everyone for knowing how to "transform". When they play this role, they are huge and fat, but they will become thinner when they play the next role.

He didn't want to cover his face, he just wanted to accept himself, the new self...

Nobody wants to see your face.

"Is that so..."

Lei Yue muttered softly to the mirror, frowned, stared, and grinned, only to see that rotten face half covered with purple scars looked hideous.

Suddenly, he pulled out a black and silver heavy-duty pistol from his pocket, acting like a robber in a police movie, holding the pistol in his right hand, aiming the muzzle at himself in the mirror.

"You shot me in your dream, you better wake up and apologize to me." Lei Yue said a classic movie line in a nonchalant tone.

After freezing for a few seconds, he shook his head with a smile, sighed, and hid the pistol in his arms.

Then, Lei Yue walked out of the bathroom, came to the living room, and walked to the old carved mahogany cabinet.

On the shrine are electronic joss sticks, a bowl of fruit offerings, and three enshrined photos: his father, mother, and grandmother, all smiling in black-framed photos.

"Mother-in-law, mom and dad, good morning." Lei Yue put his hands together and bowed to the three of them, who had already offered incense in the early morning.

"Don't worry, with that crow friend leading me the way, I can stand up - I'm going to play tricks in the film and television city! Uh, I know, I know..."

Facing the three photos, he laughed teasingly at himself:
"When I grow up like me and want to be an actor, it's definitely beyond my control, unrealistic, and wishful thinking.

"But actors need to look different. I can't play Prince Charming, can't I play Voldemort?"

He stared ferociously, "Who doesn't know that the children in the village will be scared and cry when they see me, and I just play a villain like this and stop on the set, oh, the makeup fee is saved."

"You said, right?" Lei Yue's laughter became softer and lighter, and his eyes moved to his mother's photo.

"To make money, take care of food, avoid the limelight, study that gun... There are as many reasons as there are. In fact, I don't fully understand why the crow wants to take me on a road that I have never been able to walk?"

As he talked, his voice almost murmured, "Why not another way? Why does it have to be a performance? What does performance mean to me..."

Gradually, Lei Yue fell into thoughts.

The first time I performed on stage was at a talent show in a kindergarten, playing the role of a brave little boy warrior. The cloak and battle suit were sewn by my mother.

That performance was very successful, and he still remembers it very clearly. The mother, father and grandmother in the auditorium all smiled so brightly and clapped their hands so enthusiastically.

And when he is appreciated by teachers, other parents, etc., they are so proud.

It was from then on that Lei Yue experienced the joy of acting and also discovered his talent.

He likes to act like other people, and also likes to bring all kinds of feelings to others because of his performance, and likes to be proud of his grandmother and parents.

At that time, he solemnly made an oath to them: "When I grow up, I want to be an actor, a big star!"

Children's "my dreams" are generally bullshit, but he's been seriously pursuing it ever since.

However, the arrival of that fire completely changed his world.

With the encouragement and support of his mother-in-law, he persisted in the good dreams left over from the old world.

But just because he didn't give up on this dream, he can't remember how many people were puzzled, looked down upon and ridiculed.

And he still insists on "not knowing ugliness" and "not taking pictures of himself in the urine", one of the reasons is...

Regarding the fire, Lei Yue had always had some doubts.

Although the police found some unidentified human tissues belonging to his parents from the wreckage of the fire scene, they were unable to find complete remains of the body. The police believe that this is because the two deceased had been burned to ashes.

Although over the years, Lei Yue had accepted that his parents had passed away, and had been worshiping them every day.

But in his heart, he had another idea since he was a child.

Parents may be missing, they are actually still living in this world...

If he became a well-known actor and a big star, and his figure was exposed everywhere, what if his parents would see him on the big screen?What if it was a TV appearance, what if it was a newspaper interview...

Lei Yue was thinking at this moment, and some images jumped out of his mind.

Then, no matter where the parents are, they can know his condition, and see that their son has persisted in his love and fulfilled his childhood vows, even if he was disfigured by the fire and turned into a "monster".

No matter what reason or what difficulties they disappeared, it is enough to relieve them, and even have a day of family reunion because of this.

This idea originated in childhood, Lei Yue didn't talk to his grandmother much before, for fear of making her sad.

When he grew up, he understood that this idea was full of naivety and absurdity, and he was even more afraid that he would increase his hopes, so he never talked about it.

But this idea has always been in the bottom of my heart, never forgotten, never given up.

"Huh." At this time, Lei Yue took a deep breath, continued to hide these thoughts, and pressed this weight in his heart, and a sentence emerged again: No one wants to see your face.

Even if it is not easy to achieve, and it is extremely difficult, he does not want the dream to come to an end.

Because acting is what keeps him alive, and always has been.

"Don't tell me, that black bird really understands me... just listen to it."

Lei Yue cheered up, and said seriously to the three photos on the cabinet: "There are infinite possibilities in the future, I have to try it while I am young, maybe it will happen?"

As for another reason related to eating, he didn't say much. In fact, after a breakfast, the exact figure of his net worth is 1 yuan.

"Then I'm leaving. I may spend the night in the film and television city tonight. Don't worry."

After Lei Yue finished speaking, he went to the sofa and took an old brown backpack on his back, with a pistol hidden in his arms, and walked out with his bad face up, "Let's go."
