Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, we have entered the spring of 2023. In this season of recovery, 25-year-old Li Chengxi still sticks to the entertainment industry full of challenges and opportunities.
Although she has made a name for herself in many talent shows, every time the bright spotlight shines on her, she is able to devote herself to it and conquer the audience with her exquisite and skillful dance skills.
However, fate always seems to like to play tricks on people, and she has repeatedly lost in brutal competition, and when she hears her name being read out mercilessly, she can't hide her deep loss, and her eyes become dark.
However, Li Chengxi was not discouraged by this, whenever she encountered a setback, she would always quickly adjust her mentality, stand up the once fragile heart, and rekindle the passion for struggle.
She knows that opportunities will never go away, and as long as she has enough patience to wait, she will one day usher in her own glorious moment.
In fact, Lesir's love for dance and acting stems from her childhood upbringing. In that simple village life, she developed a deep obsession with dance.
She had won a provincial gold medal in a national ballet competition, and her heart was filled with endless joy and pride as she held the heavy trophy in her hand and enjoyed warm applause.
At that time, she was only young, but she had already expressed her firm determination to her mother to learn dance, and determined to become an outstanding dancer in the future, and to shine the most beautiful on the stage.
After entering Peking University, Li Chengxi did not devote all her energy to her busy studies, and she always maintained her love for dance. She always participates in the rich and colorful club activities on campus, and whenever she stands in the center of the stage, she can show her dancing skills to the fullest, like a delicate jasmine flower, exuding a charming fragrance.
In his sophomore year, Li Chengxi was fortunate to participate in a micro-film co-produced by Peking University and Beijing Film Academy. In the intense interview session, she did not hesitate to present a wonderful ballet performance in front of the examiner, and finally won the important role of the heroine Pan Miaomiao.
After the release of this film, her elegant and moving dance attracted widespread attention and became a highlight of the whole work. This unique experience made her have a strong yearning and longing for the profession of actor.
Looking back on that childhood full of challenges and good memories, along with the learning of ballet and the applause and praise on the stage, Li Chengxi can still feel that exciting joy.
At that time, she had already shown outstanding talent for dance, and in a provincial ballet competition, she won a gold medal for her exquisite technique.
When she held the heavy trophy in her hand, her relatives and friends around her threw warm applause to her, and some people even joked that she would definitely be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University in the future.
At that time, Li Chengxi was only immature, and she had not yet fully understood the deep meaning of Tsinghua University and Peking University, but she firmly made a vow to her family: "I must be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University!" Looking back now, she did fulfill her original promise.
After graduating from university, Li Chengxi could have easily stepped into a well-known company and lived a comfortable life with the excellent academic background of Peking University.
However, she has always had a dream of becoming a good actress burning in her heart, and she longs to stand in the bright spotlight and touch countless audiences with her talent, rather than being trapped in this boring profession for her.
Whenever he imagined that he would repeat the same life year after year, Li Chengxi felt extremely irritable.
In the end, with the understanding and support of her family, she resolutely decided to quit her job and embark on the road of pursuing her dream of stardom. When she first proposed the idea, her family was adamantly opposed, believing it to be too risky and crazy.
However, given her unwavering love for dance and acting from an early age, her parents eventually gave her selfless support.
Her mother affectionately told her: "Although this is only the beginning and the road ahead is long, you are in the prime of your youth, and the road ahead is still very broad. As long as you persevere in pursuing your dreams, I believe that one day your dreams will come true.
So, Li Chengxi gave up his bright future and came to Beijing, the capital of his dreams, and began a long and arduous road to stardom. She has no regrets about her choice, and her only wish is to one day be able to stand on the stage and show her talent to the fullest.
He left the campus of Peking University, which has a strong humanistic atmosphere, and bravely walked into the red light and green wine, full of prosperity and flashiness of the entertainment industry, to experience the excitement and helplessness of life, Li Chengxi faced the new environment, but what he felt was confusion and confusion, she was like a headless fly at a loss in this strange field.
As a fledgling newcomer, she didn't know anything about the rules of the game in this circle, and could only silently wait for every possible interview opportunity in the "casting building".
In the beginning, she was thrilled to be able to get involved in her dream industry, and even if the pressures of life stretched her hard, it couldn't dampen her fighting spirit.
However, reality has dealt her a heavy blow, making her realize that the world is far more cruel than she imagined.
She was constantly rejected, and the interviewers didn't seem to expect much from the older newcomer.
One day, she unexpectedly received an invitation to the talent show "Creation Camp 2020", when she was over 25 years old. And competing with her is a group of youthful girls, in which she seems a little out of place.
Despite his best efforts on stage, Li Chengxi was eliminated in the early stages of the competition. When she heard her name being announced, the loss in her heart was indescribable, and her eyes showed deep frustration.
At that moment, she almost began to wonder if she had made the right decision. But, after only a few moments, she picked herself up and told herself that she had to keep trying.
Because she knows that opportunities always exist, but they have not yet come to her.
Recalling the days when she participated in the filming of micro-films in college, although it was only an insignificant small role, she deeply felt the endless charm of the profession of actor.
When she played the ballet goddess Pan Miaomiao, whenever she danced on the big screen, the audience's warm applause was the greatest recognition of her.
From that moment on, she silently looked forward to the day when she could embark on this dream road in person.
However, who could have foreseen that after really entering this road, she would face so many difficulties and obstacles? However, Li Chengxi was not discouraged by this, she knew that the road to success is never smooth, and the key is to have a firm will and determination to overcome all difficulties.
Since stepping into the entertainment industry, Li Chengxi's life has fallen into an unprecedented predicament. In order to gain a foothold in this money-first circle, she had to budget carefully and save money.
Initially, she rented a luxury apartment in Beijing for up to 10,000 yuan a month. However, as time went by, the severe economic situation forced her to move to a small space with a rent of only 5,000 yuan.
As time passed, her savings account had been exhausted, and she endured the humiliation of reaching out to her family for help in order to maintain her housing needs.
Every time Li Chengxi stared at the meager coins in his wallet, his heart would be swallowed up by endless self-blame and helplessness.
Being in this anxious environment for a long time, Li Chengxi's body and mind were tormented. She often hid alone in her room, silently shedding tears, as if the whole world had forgotten her.
Sometimes, when night falls, she lies in bed and weeps, questioning the value of her perseverance.
As the days went on day after day, a sudden turn of events shattered her last willpower.
Li Chengxi was diagnosed with severe anxiety disorder, and she was originally full of energy, but now she is dim, and even breathing has become extremely difficult.
recalled that when she resolutely gave up her career and changed careers, her relatives and friends around her pointed at her and talked about it. They think that with Li Chengxi's superior educational background from Peking University, how can she not find a way out in society? However, she chose to make a desperate bet to pursue the seemingly unattainable dream of stardom.
No one could understand the conviction in her heart. Because in her opinion, dreams are like a ray of light in life, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, she can't give up.
She knows that as long as she persists and works hard, one day this light will lead her to the other side of her ideals.
Although Li Chengxi has suffered countless blows and setbacks on the road of chasing her dream of stardom, and her life has fallen into trouble for a while, she has never wavered in her persistent pursuit of her dream.
Whenever someone asks her, "Why don't you choose to return to the right path? With your educational background, it should be smooth sailing in society", she always smiles in return and has a firm look in her eyes.
What the other party can't see is that she has long imprinted the dream of becoming an outstanding actor in her heart, deeply imprinted in the deepest part of her soul.
Since she was a child, she has been dancing with a yearning for bright stars and full of enthusiasm for the profession of idols. As a young child, she made a grand vow to use her elaborate performance to let her dear parents witness her glory in front of the stage.
Although this dream was buried at some point in her life, it never really left her heart, but was completely awakened and burned after she decided to give up her career and move into a new field.
After stepping into the colorful entertainment industry, all kinds of hardships and challenges are coming like a tide. She had to live a life of struggling to make ends meet, she was diagnosed with anxiety and suffered a lot of physical and mental suffering, and more harrowingly, she was ruthlessly eliminated from many draft competitions, and even the die-hard fans who had always supported her were puzzled by her choice.
However, she never had the slightest remorse. Because Li Chengxi knows that the road to her dream must be full of ups and downs, but as long as she has firm faith and moves forward bravely, there will always be a day when the opportunity that belongs to her will come.
It is this insatiable dedication to becoming a star that inspires her to pick herself up again and again and embark on the journey again. She firmly believes that one day, her outstanding dance skills and performance talents will be discovered and appreciated by the world, and her light will eventually illuminate the entire stage.
Even though the current situation is so difficult, even if the road ahead is full of thorns, the ardent desire for her dreams has long been deeply rooted in her heart and cannot be parted.
This unwavering pursuit will eventually be richly rewarded one day in the future.
