Chapter 30: The Troubled Adult (Ch 30)

Time flies by.

After Qi Jia finished filming two scenes in the Xihong City crew, he did not leave immediately.

Instead, I told Director Yan that I wanted to stay in the group for a few more days to learn more from everyone.

After Director Yan praised him for his diligence and eagerness to learn, he readily agreed.

However, he would have to pay for the room himself.

In this way, he stayed in Penglai for more than ten days. When he saw that the time was almost up,

After saying goodbye to Shen Teng, Director Yan and others, he flew back to Hengdian.

Although this trip was too short and I was unable to establish a good relationship with Director Yan and Shen Teng, it was a pity.

But at least I am very satisfied with my achievements in acting.

In more than ten days, he copied more than sixty points of acting attribute.

The most common one is [Comedy Understanding], with a total of 20 points.

After receiving and digesting so much knowledge about comedy,

Qi Jia has now reached the point where he can control this kind of acting skillfully.

It is no exaggeration to say that he can turn into a funny man at any time if necessary.

Then there are [lines skills] and [expression management],

Because in order to perform a comedy well, lines and facial expressions are two very important attributes.

This time, Qi Jia copied a total of 16 points of dialogue skills and 25 points of expression management on the set.

A lot of other acting skills were also copied sporadically. Currently in the system interface, his acting attribute list is:

【Lines: 21】

[Expression Management: 30]

【Body coordination: 9】

[Strength: 3.6]

【Martial Arts: 3.0】

【Death: 3.8】

[Anger: 4.0]

[Momentum: 4.1]

[Taunt: 3.8]

[Cruel: 3.3]

[Sorrow: 3.0]

[Fright: 2.5]

[Sluggish: 1.5]

【Madness: 1.5】

[Panic: 10]

【Comedy Understanding: 20】

【Absurdity: 15】

[Villain: 10]

【Sincerity: 10】

…

Around seven in the evening,

I returned to the rental house and packed a pork trotter rice from downstairs. As usual, it should be more lean meat and less fat, and I added a spoonful of soup to pour over the rice.

In the corridor, I happened to meet the beautifully dressed Wu Xiaoyu coming downstairs.

“Brother Qi, I haven’t seen you for a few days. Where have you been? I was so worried.”

Seeing Qi Jia coming back, she was very surprised and asked curiously.

“Haha, I took a role in a play and went out of town for a few days. It wasn’t long, so I didn’t tell you.”

Qi Jia smiled slightly and responded casually. As for her worrying to death, she didn’t take it to heart.

After all, for more than a week, my WeChat only had group chat messages.

If you are really worried about yourself, just send a WeChat message and ask and you will know.

“Are you preparing to go out?”

Seeing her bright and beautiful clothes, Qi Jia asked.

Compared to the pure look when she first came, Wu Xiaoyu’s current look looks more mature and classy.

Um,

Wu Xiaoyu hummed lightly and said nothing more.

After they greeted each other hurriedly, they left.

I thought that after Wu Xiaoyu left, there would be no one at home.

But unexpectedly, after opening the door, Sun Longji was lying on the sofa in the living room.

There are all kinds of supplies, including quilts, pillows, sockets and chargers, and the big ceiling fan in the living room is creaking.

He didn’t respond when he heard the door open.

It was not until Qi Jia greeted him that he opened his eyes, looked at Qi Jia and replied,

The whole person looked lifeless and had lost a lot of weight.

Compared with Wu Xiaoyu, he has completely lost the drive he had when he first arrived.

It seems that during the time I was away, the relationship between the two of them became even more unfamiliar.

Now we sleep separately. Since it has come to this, it would be better to just separate.

Forget it, I should earn more money, find another house and move out.

Thinking this in his mind, Qi Jia pushed Sun Longji and asked a question.

“Have you eaten yet?”

“Not yet, Brother Qi.”

Sun Longji rubbed his eyes, sat up, yawned, and said.

“Here, pig’s trotter rice, have mine.”

Hearing him say this, Qi Jia pushed away the instant noodle bucket on the table and put the pork trotter rice in his hand on the table.

“Thank you, Brother Qi.”

Sun Longji was obviously already hungry, so he didn’t bother to be polite with Qi Jia and just opened the lunch box and started eating.

After Qi Jia returned to his room and put down his luggage, he took another shower.

While I was blow-drying my hair, my cell phone rang.

I picked it up and saw it was my mom calling.

Qi Jia felt nervous, thinking something had happened at home, and quickly answered the phone and asked.

“Mom, what’s wrong?”

“Ajia, do you have time to go home during the National Day holiday? Your cousin is getting married.”

“National Day, that should be possible, I’ll arrange the time in advance.”

Seeing that it was a happy event, Qi Jia breathed a sigh of relief, estimated the time, and replied.

“Alas, if you hadn’t become an actor and gone to college, you would probably be married now.

You are the only single person in the family now. Normally your father and I are embarrassed when we are asked about our relationship by villagers. “

My mother sighed and complained to him a few words.

But at the same time, I also felt that I owed my son because I was incompetent.

This resulted in my son being admitted to university but having no education to study.

“Mom, even if I’m in college, I haven’t graduated yet, how can I get married so soon…”

Qi Jia felt helpless. This was what his family thought. Once he became an adult, they started urging him to get married.

Some of the children in the village who are the same age as him are about to go to primary school.

“You are out now, and your family can’t control you, but you have to hurry up with marriage, otherwise you will be laughed at by the villagers.”

“Okay, okay, I will try my best…”

After hanging up the phone, Qi Jia breathed a sigh of relief.

I don’t know when it started, but he was afraid to go home and chat with his family.

Because, when chatting with them, we can’t avoid those questions.

“How much can you earn per month now?”

“Have you bought a house?”

“Are you dating someone? When are you going to get married?”

Then the chat between everyone will most likely end in this way.

“That shouldn’t be the case. You’re such a failure!”

“Be obedient, will we harm you? How about we arrange blind dates with a few girls for you in a few days?”

Sometimes, Qi Jia was browsing Douyin and saw someone asking,

Why do young people nowadays prefer to stay in rented houses rather than go home for the New Year?

After seeing everyone’s comments below, Qi Jia felt that they deeply shared the same feelings.

A wealthy home is a safe haven, while a poor home is a Shura battlefield.

But fortunately,

There are still more than two months until National Day. Qi Jia checked the balance on his phone.

“26452.78 yuan”

Plus the salary after filming “Nobody”,

When I went home for the National Day holiday, I had nearly 60,000 yuan, so at least I didn’t look too poor.

You still have to become famous quickly and make money. Once you are famous, you will have fewer worries.

Qi Jia encouraged himself again in his heart.

Tell myself that I must perform well in the play “Nobody”.
