After nightfall, a foul smell emanated from the river in the urban village, wafting into a household through the window. Inside, a woman named He Chunli had just finished cooking dinner. She took the dishes to the living room, closed the kitchen window, and began waiting for her boyfriend to come home.
When her boyfriend Jiang Ya returned home, He Chunli was already dozing off at the dining table. On the table, there was a cake, a plate of shrimp, and two vegetables. She was startled awake by the sound of the door opening and looked up to see her boyfriend stumbling in, reeking of alcohol.
He Chunli was a little dazed, sighed, got up to help Jiang Ya, and struggled to drag him onto the sofa. Then she washed his face with a hot towel, gave him a few sips of warm water, and he seemed to be a little more awake.
"Today is my birthday, and it's also our third anniversary. Why did you go out drinking again?" He Chunli said with a hint of disappointment as she poured another glass of warm water.
She had just brought the water over when Jiang Ya turned red in the face, suddenly raised her hand and knocked over the water glass, shattering it on the ground. He cursed with a coarse voice, " He Chunli, do you know what I've been through today? You only care about your trivial matters. I was scolded by Director all day today. Do they understand acting? They keep saying I'm not good enough. When I become famous one day, I'll make sure those bastards shine my shoes!"
He Chunli felt a pang in her heart as she listened to the man lying on the sofa, muttering all sorts of grandiose words until he fell into a deep sleep. Only then did she slowly begin to pick up the broken glass on the floor with a broom.
The dishes on the table have already cooled down. He Chunli directly packed the food into the refrigerator, ready to take it to work as lunch tomorrow. For dinner today, I just ate half a cake, without candles, without blessings, and without much appetite.

Jiang Ya woke up in the afternoon feeling a bit of a headache. He rubbed his temples, looked at the time, cursed in his heart, and hurriedly grabbed his coat to rush to the set for today's shoot.
When he rushed downstairs, he ran into a strangely dressed man head-on. It was the middle of summer, yet the man was wearing a long trench coat and a tall hat. Jiang Ya glanced irritably at the man, thinking he might be a magician or something, but didn't pay much attention and continued on his way.
However, the trench coat weirdo stopped him. Jiang Ya clicked his tongue and cursed, "What's the matter? Do you want to apologize? It's not clear who bumped into whom."
Trench coat weirdo He chuckled and handed over a business card: "Not really, it's just that your career hasn't been going well lately, and I want to help you. Today is probably going to be tough for you."
It turns out he's a quack. Jiang Ya didn't want to waste time, so she pushed Trench coat weirdo aside and cursed, "Get lost!"
Trench coat weirdo didn't seem to be angry. He simply put his business card into Jiang Ya's pocket and smiled, saying, "Trust me, I can help you act well."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ya was stunned. He looked at the business card in his pocket, then looked up, but the Trench coat weirdo was nowhere to be seen.
However, Jiang Ya didn't think much about it. He flagged down a taxi on the street and headed to the set. On the way, he kept urging the driver to speed up. Luckily, he arrived at the set just in time. The crew had just finished setting up the scene, and the actress was sitting in a chair, reading the script.
Jiang Ya took a deep breath, relieved, and quickly reviewed the script in the dressing room. "Actors are in position!" the assistant director shouted through a megaphone outside.
This is a scene between an ancient female shopkeeper and a poor scholar. Jiang Ya rarely gets a two-minute scene with lines, so when he changed into his costume before going on stage, he didn't know if he was nervous or excited, and he seemed a bit trembling.
"Sir, you are really handsome. How long will you be staying here?" The female shopkeeper asked with a teasing tone, smiling and fanning herself.
Jiang Ya The scholar's face turned slightly red, and he stammered, "I... I'm just staying for two days."
"Click! Wrong line! And you're not playing a shy scholar, you're playing a proud character. Haven't you read the script?" Director shouted in front of the camera.
Jiang Ya Busy morning Director nodded apologetically: "Sorry, let me try again."
"The twenty-seventh take, action!" The clapperboard snapped again.
"Sir, you are really handsome. How long are you planning to stay here?" The female shopkeeper asked with a smile, fanning herself.
"I..." Jiang Ya just opened his mouth, but his mind went blank, and he suddenly forgot his lines. The Director immediately frowned and asked Jiang Ya, "Who introduced you? Haven't you worked as an extra before?"
"Yes, I've been an actor for over two years now," Jiang Ya felt a little flustered.
"To be honest, your performance is not as good as someone who has just started. I'm not trying to discourage you, but you simply don't have the talent for it. I advise you to change careers. No matter how you continue, you'll just be wasting your time."
"No, Director, I really love acting, I can do it, I was just too nervous earlier..."
"Alright, next person, everyone's time is precious," the Director called for the next actor.
Jiang Ya looked at Director and wanted to try again, but Director no longer paid any attention to him. He had no choice but to keep quiet. His role was eventually replaced, and he gritted his teeth, his face turning pale as he walked to the dressing room. He overheard people whispering around him, and two older actress aunties murmured softly, "I knew that young man didn't have much talent. See, I was right."
"He can still be an extra," another old lady also looked at Jiang Ya.
"You two old stubborn folks, can you show some respect for others? Do you really enjoy gossiping behind people's backs so much?" Jiang Ya turned around and cursed angrily.
The two old ladies glanced at the furious Jiang Ya, shut their mouths in annoyance, and then turned and went to the next studio.
The group performer agent Uncle Liang took a puff of his cigarette and looked at Jiang Ya, saying, "You're still young. Why not try another industry? I'll cover your expenses this time."
As he spoke, Uncle Liang stuffed 150 yuan into Jiang Ya's pocket. But Jiang Ya was furious and immediately threw the money away, glaring at Uncle Liang and cursing, "Who do you think you are? What's the use of your dirty money?"
Uncle Liang Seeing this stinky face, he directly picked up the money and coldly snorted, "You, no one dares to take you in!"
