In people's impressions, the lives of actors are glamorous, they are high-paying professions, with a daily salary of 2.08 million yuan and a pair of socks of 699 yuan.
And the North Drift actor Zhou Rui, after showing his daily life, was questioned as a fake actor.
Zhou Rui. Although he didn't have a big fire, after all, Wang Kai, Sun Li, Luo Jin, Zhou Dongyu and others who cooperated with him are all top performers today.
Zhou Rui, alias Zhou Xiaorui, Rui Bao, was born on March 7, 1986.
When he was 20 years old, he was still an actor in a local song and dance troupe, because he had ballet skills and good looks and temperament, he was admitted to a ** troupe in Beijing and became a ** actor.
7 years later, he entered the showbiz by mistake and became a North Drifter actor.
In 2014, Zhou Rui participated in the TV series "Dart Gate" starring Huo Jianhua, in which he played the affectionate and righteous fourth dart game, thus stepping into the entertainment industry.
The fourth in Dart Gate.
At the beginning, like ordinary people, he thought that being a film and television actor was very profitable, and the first drama he entered the industry took two months to shoot, but when he settled the salary, he only got 5,000 yuan, which is equivalent to only 2,500 yuan a month.
played the role of Emperor Guangxu in "The Year the Flowers Bloomed and the Moon Was Full" starring Sun Li, which left a deep impression;
Emperor Guangxu in "The Flowers Bloomed and the Moon Was Full That Year".
also played the heroine Su Xiao played by Sun Li in "Ideal City", and Zhu Yue, a member of the audit team who fought side by side;
"Ideal City" plays the right-hand man of the actor Song Yunhui in the "Big River" series, and the second roommate Fang Ping;
"Big River" plays the sunny and handsome producer assistant Xu Lei in the modern adventure film "Sand Sea";
Stills from "Sand Sea".
played Li Feng in "The King Behind the Scenes" starring Luo Jin and Zhou Dongyu;
Stills from "The King Behind the Scenes".
Although these dramas have set off a ratings frenzy, unfortunately, he does not have many roles in the play, and he can only be regarded as a dragon actor with lines, so he has never been able to become popular.
When he was in Beijing, in order to hone his acting skills, he also played Uncle Yuan Miao in the drama "Skin".
Seeing that many actors are devoted to short ** and live broadcasts, Zhou Rui is also moved, but actors must maintain a sense of mystery, but for Zhou Rui, who can't even eat, the top priority is to earn money and maintain a life of food and clothing.
Zhou Rui. Unexpectedly, since June, he has exploded because of his daily life, and his fans have increased by more than 100,000 in three days, which he jokingly called: The number of fans is more than his deposit, because his deposit is only 5 figures.
Today's Zhou Rui is also a householder in Beijing. In the second ring road, spend 1.5 million to buy a small two-bedroom house.
Zhou Rui. The house is very close to Tiananmen Square, to the right is the Lama Temple, a little further is Zhang Ziyi's alma mater ** Drama Academy, located in the downtown area, the location is very good.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, this was a two-door courtyard house, which is now divided into 19 houses, and the house where Zhou Rui lives is only 10 square meters.
Although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs. There is a shoe cabinet next to the entrance door, and above it is a drying area, and you will reach the living room.
Zhou Rui's bathroom.
On the right is a bathroom of less than two square meters, because it is too small, only a squatting pit is made, and the sink is a triangular design, which also saves a lot of space.
The biggest trouble is that after every wash, there is always water in the same place, and more than a dozen neighbors have an unwritten rule that they go to the public restroom outside to get a large size, so the air in the courtyard is relatively fresh although it is crowded.
To the left of the bathroom, there is an open kitchen, a refrigerator on the left side of the double stove, and a washing machine under it.
Zhou Rui's home. As soon as I got up and lifted my feet, I was in the bedroom, and the cabinet next to the bed took me three days to make.
When you wake up during the day, or when friends come, you roll up the mattress and instantly turn it into a living room, where you can sit on the bed to eat, drink tea, and chat.
Zhou Rui roll pad.
A small attic was made above the bed, and a ladder was climbed up, and inside was a storage room, where the seasonal clothes were mainly stored.
The actor's face maintenance is very important, after washing his face, Zhou Rui will hydrate his face in time, apply moisturizer, and sometimes apply hydration**.
In order to keep in shape, eat very simply, fry an egg in the morning, a few small tomatoes, cut a few slices of ham sausage, a cup of coffee, and cope with it in the morning.
Zhou Rui. The most eaten Chinese food is fried eggs, scrambled tomatoes, and noodles.
The profession of an actor is destined to live a wandering life, a text message, or a **, you have to rush to a different place to film immediately.
This time, I only need to go for two days, bring a tablet, a small package of facial cleanser, body lotion, cleansing oil, two **, one**, two pairs of socks, prepare a set of favorite clothes, put them in my bag and set off immediately.
After joining the crew, the main work is to study the script, memorize lines, live in a standard room with air conditioning, and the food is also a nutritious meal with meat and vegetables, which is much more comfortable than the days in Beijing alone.
Zhou Rui. However, in order to be photogenic and make his face look smaller, Zhou Rui arrived at the scene at least three hours in advance to make his face swelling as soon as possible.
Zhou Rui is a kind person, when he sees the new actors at a loss, he will remember the scene when he first joined the group as an actor and was called by the staff, so he will kindly give the newcomers guidance and tell them how to adapt to the life of the crew.
In addition to filming, the most important thing every day is to take facial care, after all, an actor is a profession that eats with his face.
Zhou Rui. Today's film and television market is not sluggish, last year, Zhou Rui received a total of 4 jobs, participated in a drama in the first half of the year, directed a TV program, and got an honorarium of 40,000 yuan.
In the second half of the year, the first director directed a short drama and also participated in an online drama, earning 80,000 yuan, and the 4 jobs added up, and he received a total of 120,000 yuan in honorarium throughout the year.
It is equivalent to an income of 10,000 yuan per month, which is basically the same as the income of ordinary wage earners.
Zhou Rui. Zhang Songwen once said: China only has 05% of the actors can do without worrying about food and clothing, and the remaining 995% of the actors are paid very low, working 18 hours, and the pay is extremely low and cheap.
Some people work hard to film, and they are also squeezed by the assistant director, no one pays attention to them, everyone only pays attention to that 05%, the person who stands at the top of the food chain, and Zhou Rui is 995%., the one at the end of the food chain.
Zhang Songwen. After the filming of one drama means that you are unemployed, you have to find the next film, and sometimes you don't have a job for several months or half a year. But living in Beijing, you need money for food, clothing, housing and transportation, electricity, water, and ** fees.
Although life is hard, Zhang Songwen's explosion after starring in "Hurricane" made Zhou Rui see hope, however, in contrast, Zhang Songwen is a top student of Nortel, and Zhou Rui does not have a diploma from a professional college, so it is not easy to reach Zhang Songwen's height.
Song Jiateng and Zhou Rui.
Song Jiateng, who has similar conditions to him, has played Xiao Dong in "Cliff"; played the role of Four Treasures in "Big River"; After playing Mazi in "Hurricane", it seems to have exploded overnight, and in Zhou Rui's eyes, Song Jiateng has become a quasi-first-line star.
Song Jiateng, who began to drift north at the age of 19, started from the background board and gradually became a dragon actor with lines.
Song Jiateng's interpretation of the work.
Because the prices in Beijing are too high, the meager salary is really difficult to support life, and with the call of his sweetheart, he finally lived in Xishuangbanna.
However, he did not give up his acting career, and participated in hit dramas many times, making his roles bigger and bigger, and his roles getting heavier and heavier, and unconsciously mixed a familiar face in the audience.
Song Jiateng with his wife and children.
Today's Song Jiateng, his wife is white-skinned and beautiful, and she gave birth to a pair of children for him. Among the young actors, Song Jiateng is undoubtedly lucky, and now he can be called a winner in life, and he lives a very comfortable life.
In his own words, after becoming famous, in the crew, all the staff were polite when they saw him, and his success gave Zhou Rui the motivation to persevere.
Song Jiateng. In contrast, although Zhou Rui is more handsome than Song Jiateng, he does not have Song Jiateng's unique sense of joy, his appearance belongs to the middle and autumn, not too handsome and not ugly, this kind of actor who is not highly recognizable and has no characteristics is actually very disadvantaged.
In addition, when filming, Zhou Rui always reminded himself to do his duty as a supporting role, not to steal the protagonist's scene, even if there is no line, Zhou Rui will take it very seriously.
This year, the temperature in Beijing summer is too high, the temperature is as high as more than 40 degrees, Zhou Rui lives alone in a hut, there is no air conditioning, only an electric fan blows, every day it is hot like a pug, only sticking out his tongue to dissipate heat, his body is like taking a sauna, with endless sweat.
Zhou Rui. Although Zhou Rui is thrifty, it is difficult to resist the heat. It took 18392 yuan, paid in three installments to buy an air conditioner.
Two installation masters came, although it was free installation, 150 yuan of pipe money, 4 screws cost 20 yuan, fortunately living in the bungalow on the 1st floor, free of aerial work fees, originally the master also charged 20 yuan for the installation of the outer rack, however, seeing Zhou Rui serving tea and water on the side, has been very attentive, so he was exempted, and the installation of air conditioning cost a total of 170 yuan.
After having air conditioning, he spent more than 100 yuan, made a few side dishes, and invited a few friends who acted in dramas together to come to the house for a gathering, and Zhou Rui's life was very down-to-earth.
Zhou Rui. In addition to friends, there is a little rabbit named "Xiaodan" who usually accompanies him, which is the prize that Zhou Rui got when he spent 50 yuan on the ring.
At first, when he went out to film, Zhou Rui entrusted the rabbit to his neighbor Brother Li to take care of it, but he didn't expect this neighbor to take the opportunity to live in his house with his luggage.
Looking at the dirty clothes on the bed and the neighbor's food in the refrigerator, Zhou Rui was furious, he hated people who had no sense of boundaries.
It turned out that he only asked his neighbor Brother Li to come in occasionally, feed the rabbit Xiaodan, and turn on the fan, so as not to heat it up, but he didn't expect that this Brother Li actually took a suitcase and moved in along the river, not only bathing in his house, but also sleeping in his bed.
was so angry that Zhou Rui didn't sleep all night, and the two had a big quarrel because of this, Brother Li was also very aggrieved, feeling that he had been wronged, he edited a thousand-word long article and explained it to Zhou Rui.
I have to feed Xiaodan feed and vegetables five or six times a day, and clean up manure and weeds at least twice a day, otherwise the smell of the house will be very big.
I originally wanted to take Xiaoshan home to raise it, but unfortunately my wife couldn't stand the smell of rabbits, so every time I cleaned up, I did it in Zhou Rui's pool.
And he was a big grinning person, so he didn't think about it so much, so he took advantage of the situation to live in for convenience.
It happened that his son moved a lot of luggage home, and it suddenly rained heavily in Beijing, so he put the yard things into Zhou Rui's house, not intending to occupy his house.
Zhou Rui. Zhou Rui walked for nearly 10 days, and he also took care of the rabbit for nearly 10 days, his wife scolded him for being cheap, without a penny of remuneration, to help others take care of the rabbit, originally to help friends, but unexpectedly, he got Zhou Rui's complaints.
In the article, Brother Li said aggrievedly, I should ask you for 10,000 yuan in compensation, this sentence made Zhou Rui ignore the explanation, thinking that Brother Li, who helped him watch the rabbit for a few days, asked for compensation from himself.
Zhou Rui. In a fit of anger, he posted this matter on the Internet, many netizens thought that the two were just misunderstandings, and some netizens complained that he didn't know how to be grateful, and persuaded him to be generous.
Some netizens feel that they live in such a small space and raise rabbits, the taste is a little too big, not to mention looking at his predicament, he can't even support himself, which is a bit too hypocritical.
There are also those who believe that if you are engaged in a mobile job, you should not raise rabbits.
Zhou Rui feeds the rabbits.
Under the divergent opinions, he had no intention of letting Zhou Rui be on the hot search, but it also strengthened Zhou Rui's determination to raise the rabbit when he went out in the future, so as not to owe favors to others.
Zhou Rui drifted north alone, living a life away from his family and without medical insurance, because his thumb was swollen and painful, he went to the hospital to see a doctor.
At that time, his heart was up and down, for fear that he would have some disease, so that the acting career that he had built up with great difficulty would be completely buried.
Fortunately, after the doctor's examination, he didn't find any major problems, and told him to just pay attention to rest, which made Zhou Rui feel relieved, and he could still walk for his dream.
In my spare time, it is a word "run", running the crew, running the announcement, running the dinner, running the favors, and many acting opportunities are realized in the run.
The entertainment industry is a vanity fair, and many people who have no professional level or even poor character quality also want to come in and pan for a pot of gold, and they attract familiar actors like Zhou Rui to negotiate in the name of big productions.
Zhou Rui. 557 yuan for the first-class seat of the high-speed rail, 433 yuan for a day's accommodation. The return second-class seat was 365 yuan, plus the meal, and it cost a total of 1390 yuan.
After Zhou Rui went to Qingdao, he learned that the other party was not like that, he would rather be hungry than cooperate with people who were not honest, and as a result, no one reimbursed the more than 1,000 yuan, so he had to pay out of his own pocket.
However, he remembered Zhang Songwen, who had been rejected by the crew 800 times in three years, and the director said that he looked like a dwarf, this is the norm for young actors in the entertainment industry, and the days are very doggy, but Zhou Rui didn't dare to scold him, he was afraid that the days would bite him like crazy.
Zhou Rui. Netizens found that although Zhou Rui lives in a 10-square-meter dwelling, the equipment at home is carefully selected, he can solve a meal with 5 yuan, and he will also use more than 3,000 yuan to buy a Marshall stereo, he is not willing to spend money for survival, but he is more willing to spend money for life.
If it's not popular, forget it, it's just a profession to make ends meet.
Because in **, he mentioned Zhang Songwen's experience of frustration. Many netizens scolded him, why do you compare yourself with Zhang Songwen? Zhou Rui said frankly
"When I was a child, I suppressed my nature because I was afraid of being hated by my parents, and I was an obedient and obedient child; Pretending to like something because of the fear of being hated by classmates in order to fit in with the small group; Because he was afraid of being hated by his colleagues, he never dared to refuse, so he could only work hard. ”Zhou Rui. But as he got older, Zhou Rui found that being hated by others was not a bad thing.
Many times, if he has the courage to be hated, he lives a relaxed life, so he doesn't want to pretend, he just wants to be a recorder of real life.
People who don't like him, he won't like you either, however, he is still grateful to these people who don't like him, and will stay under his own **.
In his opinion, he will not only compare Zhang Songwen, but also Wang Baoqiang, because these people have worked hard step by step to reach today's glory.
Zhou Rui. Seeing Zhou Rui's **, my heart was filled with sourness, and I also thought of my daughter who drifted north, life is not easy, and I cherish it!
I wish Zhou Rui can be as popular as Zhang Songwen and Wang Baoqiang in the future, at least he can end his single life as soon as possible, Zhou Rui, you are a first-class great!
