Chapter 38: Act V: Avenue Q (10)

Xiang Cai was still young. His life was like a flower that had just blossomed. He was unrestrained and enthusiastic; young and fearless.

A teenager of his age had not tasted any of the hidden rules in society. He did not understand what Tan Yiming was having to confront and what he was conflicted about.

But precisely that, such a naive, idealized, only-knowing-black-from-white teenager, could clear up the fog in front of Tan Yiming.

guess: Yun Da, the reason why dreams are called dreams is precisely because they are far away from us!

guess: It's definitely very, very hard to attain that dream.

guess: Dreams allows us to temporarily pause or take short detours, but it is absolutely impossible for to compromise, give up, or take shortcuts in order to attain it.

guess: You know, humans have worked hard for thousands of years before finally landing on the moon.

guess: Don't you know, it's easier to pick up the moon from the water?

——Of course I know, but the moon picked up from the water is not the moon.

Tan Yiming sat under the table lamp, staring blankly at the words sent by the boy.

He didn't expect Cai Cai to be able to set it out so clearly for him.

He sat there. It was obviously March, but he seemed to be under sweltering heat, and his body was wet with sweat after a while.

Tan Yiming awoke suddenly, in shock.

It was as if he was waking up from a long nightmare. Tan Yiming recalled his mental half-month journey, and no longer felt conflicted by his own rules of integrity.

Yes, the interview opportunity of Blizzard Entertainment was rare, but it was by no means the only way to reach his dream.

The commercial voice-over circles were not the same as the internet voice-over circles. 99% of the famous gods in commercial voice-over circles did not become famous from just a single role. Most relied on the accumulation of countless roles, step by step from dragon set to chief officer.

[T/N: That last phrase means from the background actors like servants to the protagonist. That's not the actual English phrase, just mtl.]

This road was paved with difficulties. A commercial actor who just started out would hardly make any money, and instead would constantly expend a lot of energy. Some people would quit after some trials and setbacks, but Tan Yiming knew he could persist and succeed.

After this epiphany, Tan Yiming's mental state improved a lot in an instant.

He first went to the bathroom and washed his face with cold water, and was almost scared by the decadent appearance of the person in the mirror.

... No wonder George spoke carefully when talking to him recently, no wonder the leader had assigned him fewer tasks, and his mentor paid special attention to him.

He shaved his beard carefully, washed his face, and decided to go out for a haircut tomorrow.

He returned to the table and thought seriously, leaving a string of words on the computer.

Yiming Qingyun: Cai Cai, thank you.

Yiming Qingyun: You've made me realized a lot of things.

Yiming Qingyun: I was the one who had gotten into trouble before.

Within three seconds, the little swan's reply popped out.

guess: !!!!!

guess: Great god, you finally replied!!!!!
