In "The King of Comedy", there is a prop that appears repeatedly, as many as 6 times, and every time it appears, it symbolizes a specific stage of life of Tian Chou, it is a lunch box.


The first lunch box: Doubt

Tian Chou was blasted out of the studio. After passing the table full of lunch boxes, he naturally reached out and wanted to get it, but was stopped by the vicious on-set manager. The field manager blamed Tianqiu NG, which caused the entire crew to fail to cook on time. He not only taunted Tian Chou fiercely, but also grabbed the lunch box and threw it on the ground to feed the dog.

At this stage, the most common words on the lips are: "What did I do wrong?" Yes, unlike other walking dead's tricks, he is always enthusiastic. Before going to bed every night, he flips through "Self-Cultivation of Actors" to learn theoretical knowledge.

Even as a cannon fodder, he plays it seriously and adds his own "unique" understanding. But in the end, he was driven out of the studio like flies. Yin Tianqiu, his mind was full of doubts.


The second lunch box: Confusion

made a mess on the set and ran away. After passing through the pile of lunch boxes again, he grabbed one and ran away, but unexpectedly stepped on the banana peel deliberately thrown by the midfielder. The clerk came over, picked up the lunch box, and threw it to the dog again.

This time, Tian Chou's professionalism has been appreciated. But after the director shouted "cut", he changed back to the dead man's trick, which was a bit annoying. He didn't know when to say dialogue and when to shout "cut" to himself in the scene of life.


The third lunch box: Reflection

was blasted off the set again, and there was no food to eat. The feud that was injured because of the filming finally broke out, and he questioned why he didn't give himself a lunch box. The next sentence the field manager said made everyone stop what they were doing and look at them both.

The field manager said: Because you are not qualified to eat this lunch!

With messy hair and disheveled clothes, Tian Qiu lost the angry expression he had just now. He frowned slightly, the corners of his mouth twitched, and quietly listened to the groundsman to teach himself a lesson. Teach a nightclub lady to act, teach someone to act a triad and receive protection fees, rehearsed dramas are not watched, always try, but always screw up, always get scolded... The field manager seems to be right, he is not qualified to eat this lunch , I'm sorry for the word "acting", and even more sorry for the status of "actor" for what I have done.


The fourth lunch box: Unwilling

to return to the studio, ask the studio manager for the previous lunch box. The field steward raised the saw knife to provoke him, and Tian Chou was under the knife, and he picked up the lunch box with sweat on his face and trembling.

What Tian Chou brought back was a lunch box that could fill his stomach (after all, all the cash on his body was given to Piao Piao), and it was a little bit of dignity that could support himself to continue to persist. "No matter how you look at it, I'm actually an actor." It was this time that the field manager saw the potential of Tian Chou as an undercover agent: this guy dared to take a lunch box under a saw knife, and he would definitely dare to pull his teeth out of a tiger's mouth.


The fifth lunch box: Desperate

to lose the opportunity to be the leading actor, Tian Chou passes through the lunch box again. No one was guarding this time, but he only glanced at it and quickly closed his eyes. He recalled what the field manager had said and felt like a piece of shit. Perhaps, Yin Tianqiu is really not qualified to eat this lunch box. The word "actor" is a too luxurious and too distant dream for him.


The sixth lunch box: Comprehension

was temporarily assigned an undercover mission, and Tian Chou was going to play the role of a delivery boy. He entered the den of thieves with a lunch box containing a bug. However, because the bugs were not hidden, they were seen by criminals and their lives were on the line. Fortunately, the fate of the gods was great, and by shooting indiscriminately, he was able to kill all the criminals.

Fortunately, a life was saved, and Tian Chou really understood what it means to "life without rehearsal and can't be NG". Life is not like acting, one negligence can lead to one's own death. And knowing that in the big drama of life, judging the occasion to say the appropriate dialogue, and knowing how to call "cut" by yourself, is the best acting.

Perhaps, playing yourself well in life is the real "actor training".
