Eat this toad [Entertainment]

In the evening, the snow started to fall again.

Su Jinjiang walked into the door with his head drooping, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that the aisle was full of sundries, and several people were moving boxes into a door.Su Jinjiang took a look, there was really nowhere to go, so he had to take the outdoor evacuation stairs instead.

A thin layer of snow fell on the narrow steps.Su Jinjiang grabbed the iron handrail and walked cautiously.The cold touch penetrated through the gloves and pierced into the heart.

Su Jinjiang sighed.Today is his 24th birthday, but since morning until now, all he has received is one depressing message after another.If he doesn't get any more decent scenes, he will probably be hidden by the company until the contract is terminated.

Su Jinjiang is handsome.However, if one wants to develop well in the entertainment industry, it is not enough to just have good looks. Emotional intelligence, ability, contacts, and resources are all indispensable.Beyond that, you have to be lucky.But Su Jinjiang has nothing but a face, and his luck is notoriously bad - since he was a child, he has been hailed as a living specimen of "possessed by a decrepit spirit".

Quite frankly, since his debut, the few TV series he starred in were either blurred or stopped for some reason.Only one movie had good reviews, but when the sequel was about to be filmed, a lot of trolls and black haters suddenly appeared on the Internet, which finally messed up the matter.Gradually, Su Jinjiang's film appointments became less and less.

There is a saying: If you eat a toad raw in the morning, nothing nasty will bother you that day.

In other words, if you have a hard time getting started, nothing will scare you along the way.

As an artist who doesn't even count as an [-]-tier artist, Su Jinjiang's life and career have been pitted step by step, but he always holds the above beliefs.

It's a long road, and there are countless toads.Su Jinjiang suffered enough and suffered enough losses, but he never got back the rewards he deserved.He felt that his life and career were like this staircase in front of him, with rickety twists and turns, and even if he managed to reach the top, it was only a few floors high.While others seem to be riding an elevator, talking and laughing, they are already a distance away from him by a Mount Everest, and he can only look up in awe.

Although melancholy, Su Jinjiang has no resentment.It's not that the company doesn't want to train him, it's that he is too disappointing and doesn't know how to seize opportunities.In this regard, He Ruxu, who debuted at the same time as him, is completely different.

Three years ago, the filming of a fairy tale drama "Hongmeng", which gathered popular niches, started, and Su Jinjiang got the chance to audition for "Jinjiang Xianjun".This character doesn't have many roles, and it's basically a bit of a trick, but the character design is very pleasing: handsome appearance, miserable life experience, infatuated with the heroine without regret, coupled with the final tragic ending, it is a character with potential fan-absorbing ability.For a newcomer like Su Jinjiang, this is simply a platinum pie falling from the sky.

According to rumors, the director came across Su Jinjiang's information when he was casting the role, and said with a smile: "It's such a coincidence, this person's appearance is very good, and he fits the temperament of the character, let him try it out."

Unfortunately, Su Jinjiang had a high fever that day, and was lying at home alone in a coma, unable to get through the phone.The agent was going to his house, but he had something to do and couldn't leave.At the critical moment, He Ruxu, who usually has a good relationship with Su Jinjiang, stood up and asked for this trip.

He Ruxu didn't go to Su Jinjiang's house this trip, but went straight to the director and recommended himself.When Su Jinjiang contacted the crew after his fever subsided and became sober, he was told, "The role has been fixed, you don't have to come."

The platinum pie that fell from the sky turned a corner in mid-air, and finally landed on He Rui's head.

The fact later was that He Ruxu did not become popular with the role of "Jinjiang Immortal", and even attracted some criticism.The reason is that although his acting skills are good, his temperament does not fit the character well enough.

In the play, "Jinjiang Xianjun" is a character with a tragic personality.He and the Goddess of Luoshui love each other, but his weak personality makes him hesitate at the moment of decision, and finally misses this marriage. Even if his heart is broken, it is too late to regret it.He represents the weak and helpless side of everyone's heart. If he behaves well, he can resonate, but if he behaves badly, it will only make people angry.

And He Ruxu has the personality of not willing to admit defeat by any means, even if he lowers his eyebrows and looks pleasing to the eye, there is a sharpness in his eyes that cannot be hidden.This is precisely the reason why he can't play Jinjiang Xianjun well-he can't show the inner struggle of this character.No one is born wanting to be a pustule.With every step of retreat, there is much unwillingness and helplessness.How to act "unwilling" but not "helpless".

At that time, some viewers left a message and commented: "Every time this character appears on the stage, I feel that he must be pretending to be Baozi, and must be planning some kind of conspiracy behind his back. He is just a bun, too aggrieved. He is more like a villain who has no chance to do bad things, more than annoying, less than pitiful, let alone cute."

However, even though this role was unsatisfactory, He Ruxu used it to expand his network, opened up a path for his development in the entertainment industry, and gradually accumulated resources and popularity.Naturally, there are many people who hate him, but every time he is hated, it will increase his exposure and make his popularity rise steadily.

It has to be said that He Ruxu has an indomitable drive and strong athletic ability.He is very clear about what he wants, and he is also very clear about what means to get it.As for whether this method is suitable, it is not in his consideration.

Su Jinjiang couldn't say what he thought about such a situation.But there is a thought that often comes to his mind: If time can be turned back, he will never let go of the opportunity three years ago.If he were to perform Jinjiang Xianjun, his later acting career would be different.

But it is meaningless to say these words now.My bleak life is like the snow in the cold season in early April. No matter how hard I struggle, I can barely maintain the short and untimely coldness.

Approaching the fifth floor, Su Jinjiang took out his keys, and the phone rang in his pocket. It was an old song "Rain and Tears".He answered in a hurry, hoping it was some feedback from the crew.Seeing the caller's name on the screen at a glance, Su Jinjiang was shocked: Wei Tan.

Wei Tan and Su Jinjiang belong to the same company, but their circumstances are very different.He took the cold-faced niche route. In the words of a group of fans, "even the eyelashes are full of abstinence, the face of a little milk dog, and the heart of a little wolf dog".

In the past three years, he has been taking care of Su Jinjiang in a vague way, and even helped to say a few words when Su Jinjiang was sprayed.

Su Jinjiang was grateful to him, but he never had a chance to thank him.Given the difference in their status, even if Su Jinjiang just invited Wei Tan to a meal, he would probably be ridiculed by others as hugging his thigh.

Why did Wei Tan call at this time?

Su Jinjiang quickly put the receiver to his ear, "Hello?"

A moving company's truck happened to drive away from downstairs, and the rumbling sound overwhelmed Wei Tan's voice on the phone.Su Jinjiang took two quick steps up the stairs, wanting to go inside the corridor.

Just as he was holding the phone in one hand and pushing the security door with the other, his feet slipped suddenly.Before fully reacting to what happened, the unbalanced body fell down the evacuation stairs and fell straight to the ground.

Su Jinjiang, 24 years old, died.

At the moment of death, all kinds of encounters in a lifetime flash past like a movie.All his misfortunes seem to have started on a snowy evening when he was 6 years old: his mother dragged the suitcase and got into a taxi without looking back.

The taxi that disappeared at the end of the road became the first toad in his life.It was stuck in his throat, so that in the following years, he swallowed it over and over again.

Since then, he has regarded "please everyone" as his life goal.Showing a smiling face to everyone, pretending to be gentle to everyone, not complaining to anyone, swallowing all the toads one by one, but seeing only his increasingly humble figure.

Now, when the soul is soaring to heaven, looking back on the past, Su Jinjiang only feels that anger is rising from his heart, and evil is growing from his guts—I seem to have a sentence @#$%& must say.Can you still be a happy human being?Have I fallen into a pile of toads in my life? ?

If I could do it all over again, I would definitely, definitely...

Be a winner in life!

…………

I have a terrible headache.There is an annoying sound that keeps ringing, like an electric drill drilling into the brain.

Su Jinjiang tried his best to open his eyes. He wanted to sit up, but when he tried hard, all the bones in his body were so painful that they almost fell apart.Fortunately, the life-like voice finally stopped, and Su Jinjiang slowed down for a long time before he had the strength to look around.

This look made him sober in an instant.

Isn't this the room he lived in three years ago?In a bedroom less than ten square meters, there are only a few simple pieces of furniture. There is an unopened cardboard box next to the bed, with an open book on it, and a mobile phone with a bright screen next to it.

Su Jinjiang grabbed the phone and looked at the date on it: it was accurate, it was three years ago, the day when he was supposed to audition for the crew of "Hongmeng".
