Break the overly perfect and naive Idealism.
🌹
Three years ago, Guan Xiaotong, 22, told COSMO that he was a person living in the pink world. In Guan Xiaotong's home, there are more than 100 Barbie dolls. She will carefully match them with necklaces, take care of hair and clothes, and even build many life scenes. Guan Xiaotong likes Barbie not only out of girlishness, but also because of idealism.
"I like Barbie and beautiful girl soldiers. They all represent a kind of beauty, just like fairy tales. The theme is full of ideals, and the ending is always perfect. I didn't dare to watch the little mermaids that turned into bubbles in high school. Those movies that ended in tragedy always made me cry for days. I used to consciously avoid it. If the ending of the novel was not happy ending, I would not read it. "
Now, Guan Xiaotong, 25, has undergone new changes: Start to break the overly perfect and naive idealism.

In his twenties, he is both counselling and brave
Guan Xiaotong describes himself as a person who often "counsels". Although she has been acting since childhood, Guan Xiaotong is still not good at dealing with social occasions. "Every time my mother took me to say hello to someone at an event, I was embarrassed. In fact, it was just a matter of words, but it was very difficult to speak."
Guan Xiaotong made friends with the cast because of his slow counseling. Because social networking is an occasion, the crew means that everyone lives together every day. Recently, when filming in Chengdu, Guan Xiaotong and Yu Qian became old friends. "I love to go to the night market. Uncle Yu Qian likes to go to the flower, bird, fish and insect market, so we can talk together. Maybe people think we are two age groups, but in fact we have no generation gap at all. What's interesting is that he calls my father Uncle. After that, he calls me Brother Qian."
Guan Xiaotong recently played the role of a community volunteer who deals with uncles and aunts every day. Watching a retired aunt in her 60s and 70s, Guan Xiaotong felt most envious. "As soon as the dance music was played, the whole square was full of people. Many aunts came to dance enthusiastically when they heard that they were going to film. Their hair was curly and they were wearing small cheongsam, which was very exciting. At that time, I was thinking, when I reached that age, could I not give up refinement and beauty like them?"

For this reason, she is always upset afterwards and will reply in her heart: If only I had known... That's why Guan Xiaotong has always remembered the role of Xie Qiao in Zeng Xiaotong. "Xie Qiao also counsels her. Her biggest problem is her bewildered, stupid and emotional things. Xie Qiao is too idealistic. I still feel very excited when I think about this idealism."

Guan Xiaotong summarized:“ Puzzles in their twenties are usually small ones; The setbacks in my twenties are also a series of minor setbacks. In fact, with a small vision and less experience, they will naturally make some wrong choices. Of course, these setbacks are not bad things, but they can also make people worry more. Slowly, people will become less brave and begin to be afraid. "

So how can you let yourself go out of this foresight? Guan Xiaotong said:“ Later, I tried to distinguish things clearly, thinking about whether to make a decision in the old way or to take a risk. But if you can handle everything clearly, you will understand in your whole life that you can't do it when you are in your 20s. Therefore, I will not always fall into the internal friction of spirit, and I will pick up my spirits as soon as there is something new. " This is the advantage of being in your 20s. The world of young people is slowly unfolding in front of you. New attempts and new experiences are coming like waves, just like a rapidly refreshed page. It is even too late to struggle and regret.
Don't live to show yourself
Guan Xiaotong found that the 20's in others' eyes are not the same as his true feelings. "Maybe because I used to act as a girl, many people have a vague understanding of my age. They think that something is too young to be coaxed away. In fact, I don't need to be coaxed, but I can provide myself with emotional value. When something happens, I prefer to use logic and methods to solve the event itself, rather than waiting for others to give me a piece of candy. Older people may worry that you can't handle things, but in retrospect, when we filmed, our group was full of peers born in 1997 and 1998, not only actors, but also dressers, makeup artists... we all played some roles in our respective fields. "

Shi Hang recalled: "Tofu is a traditional food for Chinese people. Everyone can have something to say about tofu. So I said to Xiao Tong," Don't make a long speech, just write your personal memory of tofu. "The articles I received surprised me. The words are very colloquial, yet clear and accurate. They also hide their feelings for their families between the lines. These are very rare things."
Nude sleeveless one-piece yellow mop skirt all by Valentino As for tofu, Guan Xiaotong wrote: "Since childhood, I have loved to eat frozen tofu in instant boiled mutton, which is especially delicious, especially when the honeycomb holes are full of sesame paste popping in my mouth. Later, my mother said that I would like to eat whatever I lack. I asked my mother: Am I lacking in heart? Wang Zhihe stinky tofu, take out a piece, pour some sesame oil, mix some scallions, decorate some MSG, and put it on the first piece of fried nest, hey! I miss this taste... "
Guan Xiaotong participated in the drama Literature and Art in the War of Resistance, and also asked Shi Hang for advice. She insisted on reading all the relevant books before communicating and discussing. Although in Shi Hang's opinion, Xiao Tong doesn't play much in the play, outsiders may not be able to tell the difference between reading and not reading many historical materials outside the script. But she knew that because she had read it, some of her feelings had changed.
Shi Hang said that some people looked like transparent bottles, filled with some water, and wanted everyone to look at the water line, all for the purpose of showing others; Others are a thermos cup. You don't know whether it contains water, tea or wine. Only you know the temperature. "I like people like Xiaotong. She really lives for herself, not for showing herself."

It's useless to escape. Time will push you forward
Guan Xiaotong said, "If there is something that makes me anxious at the moment, it is a waste of time. For example, I clearly said to myself that I would watch a movie today, and I would like to recharge my batteries. I thought about it in my head, but I turned on social media to" kill "time. This is the thing I am most worried about, and I am afraid I will become like this." Aware of this, Guan Xiaotong began to actively make changes, "For example, the next time you want to brush your mobile phone, you should immediately turn over the e-book."
In the past, Guan Xiaotong would brush his mobile phone while waiting to kill time. Now she has changed a way to paint between shots. "I draw the characteristics of everyone, and show them when I finish painting." As Guan Xiaotong was saying, the staff beside him immediately added: "She can especially grasp the charm of everyone, and know who is painting at a glance!"

In one of Guan Xiaotong's paintings, the serious broker's expression is fierce, and there are a little eight characters when he stands; The little assistant's eyes were muddled, and she kept her innocence. In another picture, the staff members hold the notice in their hands, but there are only a few big words on it: "When is the end of work?" This is the most true inner portrayal of migrant workers every day. "Everything is to let yourself open a little bit. Rather than sitting in the corner with my mobile phone in my arms, I now talk to different people on the set and observe their lives. When you open your mind, you will find that your mind is also open, and your thoughts are also open, so that you can solve the problem."

With the growth of age, Guan Xiaotong increasingly believes that the so-called growth is "It's hard to close it" 。 "Although every difficulty we have experienced in the past is very difficult, we still have to overcome it one by one." We asked Guan Xiaotong, is there no time to retreat and escape? Guan Xiaotong almost instinctively retorted, "There is no way to escape! Time will surely push you forward. You have to do it if you don't do it."

Time Story of Guan Xiaotong
COSMO : What is the most satisfying thing at the moment?
Guan Xiaotong : What I am most satisfied with is my current state. I am not afraid to contact new things. Recently, I began to learn rock climbing because of the role needs. Originally, I was a person who was afraid of heights, so it was too challenging for me. Later I came to a conclusion that although the rock is high, it is always facing you, so you can't see how high you have climbed. If you look back, you will feel afraid. It is better to keep looking in and up.
COSMO : What questions are you curious about women aged 30 or 40?
Guan Xiaotong : I think I will ask, when I am over 30 years old, Will there be a heart that believes in fairy tales? What is the most true truth of life that you have known since you turned 40?
