Life is a journey, filled with the fog of the future is full of unknown, no one knows the front waiting for their own in the end is uphill or downhill, no one knows the front is flat or rugged mountains. Unpredictable uncertainty makes life full of variables, as well as surprises.
He once thought that the future is in his own hands. As long as he makes a plan that is strong enough, detailed enough and sufficient, he can control every step of life within the expected range. The future, success, career, family... And life will be firmly in his own hands without any deviation.
But obviously, he was wrong. Just as he did not expect that he would lie in bed for the rest of his life because of a car accident, he did not expect the end of his life, but became the beginning of a new life.
In the last life, his name was Chu Jiashu. He was a Chinese. He was always a clever child. He listened to his mother's arrangement, planned his future step by step, and followed the plan of every day. "You will grow up to be an excellent adult, and you will have a bright future." From the beginning, his mother told him so.
His mother made a schedule for him. Everything was marked on the blackboard on the wall. She planned his life from three years old to thirty years old, from study to friends, from three meals a day to extracurricular activities. All of them were put on the schedule. At a glance, it seemed that as long as he stood in front of the blackboard, he could see the end of his life.
So far, he can clearly recall the new year when he was eight years old. He wanted to buy some fireworks and firecrackers with his lucky money to join the carnival of his neighbors. However, his mother tried to dissuade him and pointed to the dense schedule. "We should take our destiny in our hands. Everything is here, from top to bottom, from left to right. From every minute to every hour, to every day, every week, every month, every year, to your life, everything is in this form. Even your annual birthday gift I have made a form, for example, this year your eighth birthday gift is abacus, the next math class just can use, I have packed it
He looked at his mother's sincere words, showing confusion and timidity. The noise of playing and firecrackers outside the window was looming. He just wanted to light a firework. But his mother didn't pay any attention to him at all. She just stood in front of the surface of the plan and said with great ambition, "it's 183 days before the beginning of the first grade. It sounds very long, but it's only 4392 hours converted into hours, and it's only 263520 minutes converted into minutes, You will find that you can accomplish so many things. "
He didn't understand what those huge numbers meant, but he knew that the resolute light on his mother's face made him have no room to refuse“ You should arrange your every minute according to this form to ensure efficient use of every minute! To be honest, you can only rely on yourself after entering the society. If you want to succeed, we must firmly follow this schedule. "
His mother looked at him with a smile and confidence. He nodded blankly, and the words that came to his mouth could not be said after all“ Good. Now you have 15 minutes to breathe fresh air and relax. Then it's English time This is the conclusion of my mother's speech, which is still vivid after many years. It is like a curse, firmly imprinted in my mind.
Unfortunately, this grand plan was only carried out until he was 22 years old. As he was about to leave the University, he actively prepared to devote himself to the internship, and then sought for better development in the future. It seemed that everything was developing step by step, and the bright future was not far away. However, a sudden car accident brought the plan to an abrupt end.
High paralysis.
He didn't feel anything below his chest, so he could only lie on the bed like a useless man, in constant panic. His mother ran around for him and even lost all her family wealth, but still could not reverse the time. He was decadent, crazy, giving up, desperate, angry, regretful... But in the end he survived - like a walking corpse.
Fortunately, he met the film, the unique but meaningful "Truman's world", which opened the door to a new world for him. This form of expression called "the seventh art" lit up his boring life. He was so greedy that he was almost thirsty to immerse himself in the film world and roam around. Curious about those ups and downs of life, curious about the colorful world, curious about the colorful society, curious about the unrestrained freedom... That is really alive.
Freedom, dream, life. Just think of such words, his chest will be dull to dull pain, because he will never touch them, he missed, missed forever.
He wants to travel all over the world to taste the cold snow mountain and the turbulent sea; He wants to challenge every limit of his life, try the madness of skydiving and the stimulation of extreme rock climbing; He wanted to experience every emotion of life, the joy of achieving his goal and the pain of encountering setbacks... Because for the first time, he really realized that life can't be planned, success and failure, happiness and sadness, happiness and torture, which are two sides of life. Without the opposite of spear and shield, it would be meaningless.
Wanton, uninhibited, carnival, crazy, casual, free. Grasp every moment of life, truly give your own wonderful life, don't live up to this rare but only once life.
He could not help but wonder whether he could climb all the peaks of the world if he became a climber; If he becomes a journalist, can he use a pen to talk with the world; If... If he becomes an actor, can he perform all kinds of life, can he endow the characters with soul like those actors, can he move other people like the inspiration brought by movies, and can he use his acting skills to make art radiate new vitality?
Ten years, ten whole years. He was paralyzed in his hospital bed for ten years. He communicated with movies for ten years. Unfortunately, he did not have the chance to try those "ifs" after all. How he longed to do it again, break all the shackles and fetters, and willfully return, but it was too late.
On his 32nd birthday, due to the failure of heart and lung function, his regular and mediocre, simple and short life came to an end.
After closing his eyes, the world is dark, but at the end of the dark there is a faint light, as if to guide him forward. Is that heaven or hell? The pace under his feet stepped forward, and then gradually accelerated, faster and faster, and finally turned into running, even sprint. He opened his arms and bumped into the Milky light.
At that end, it's not heaven, it's not hell, it's rebirth.
He was born again.
From 2017 to 1989, from the age of 32 to the state of newborn baby, from yellow to white, from China to Britain, from chujiashu to Langley hall.
He won a second chance. This time, he won't miss it again.
The hall family is a poor aristocrat in England. They have a hereditary Baron title. Although they are no longer rich for a long time, this is not the 1920s or 1930s. They have no fiefdoms or manors, but they are still very rich.
Lanli is the youngest son of the hall family. On top of him, he has a brother and two sisters. Although they were poor aristocrats, they still followed the elite education of aristocrats, from Oxford dragon primary school to Eton public school, and then they were admitted to Cambridge University with excellent results. However, instead of following in his father's and brother's footsteps to enter Trinity College, Langley chose Pembroke College to study classical literature. Just one year later, Langley suspended school temporarily, entered the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts, and began to polish himself in the west end of London.
This time, lanli wants to realize his dream, to try more possibilities, to explore the unknown world, to really embrace freedom.
Acting is the source of Lan Li's inner passion. He is eager to become a part of the film. He is eager to become an actor, not only an actor who imitates others, but also a vase which is reduced to decoration by appearance. He is eager to become a real professional actor who can bring shock by acting skills, An actor who constantly challenges his limits in acting.
He doesn't know how much talent he has, how high his achievement can be, and whether his dream can be realized, but he doesn't care. He just wants to try, run wildly and willfully until he is exhausted, and really live according to his own idea.
Even if he fails, he doesn't care. This time of life, he will not waste, he will not compromise, he will not give up, because at the end of life, he does not want to regret.
However, for the hall family, lanli's choice is intolerable, which is a disgrace to the noble family. It will also become the object of ridicule in the upper class, making George and Elizabeth unable to look up.
So, he came to New York, he came to New York, where he left his feet, carrying the opposition and protest of his parents; While looking for opportunities to polish himself on Broadway, he began auditions one after another to seek performance opportunities. At the same time, he also used his spare time to work to earn money and get rid of his parents' financial constraints; He is eager to become an actor, not for success, not for fame, not for super high income, just to become an excellent actor.
Facts also proved that George and Elizabeth were right. It was only three months since he was in New York that he found the audition opportunity for the first time. The hardship of this road is far worse than he imagined. He is now pursuing the one in 100000 and one in a million chance to realize his dream.
But he didn't regret it!
