Chapter 1 Getting in the car(1/2)

May 2004, Jilin Province.

"Xiao Xu, take a silk thread."

Xu Rong squatted on the crisscrossing steel bar net, handed the hook of his right hand to his left hand, raised his dirty sleeve, wiped the sweat from his forehead, grabbed a handful of thin iron wire about twenty centimeters long at his feet, and handed it to the middle-aged man who was calling out to him, and said, "Uncle Liu, give it."

"Xiao Xu, take the bucket of water."

"Okay, uncle." Xu Rong responded, lifted the bucket not far away, turned a corner, and went down the stairs along the uneven cement stairs.

Carrying an empty bucket, he urinated on the second floor. When he went down the first floor, Xu Rong crawled out of the scaffolding and headed straight to a row of simple rooms not far from the construction building.

A bucket of steaming boiling water was filled from the large iron pot on the stove. Just as he was about to lift it up, Xu Rong looked at the gray face in the water and looked dazed.

He pursed his lips and secretly cheered up: hold on for a while, and after making money, he can go to college.

"bite."

"Loading is complete."

"The acting training system is turned on."

A sudden crisp sound that resounded in his ears made him stunned. He turned around and looked around, but no one was there.

After pausing, he seemed to remember something. As his thoughts moved slightly, the light curtain that only he could see appeared in front of him. What was displayed on the light curtain was no longer the previous progress bars, but rows of data.

“Is this something that has been loading for seventeen years?”

Xu Rong didn't know how this "acting training system" came about. He only knew that since he could remember, a green progress bar had existed in his consciousness and kept showing "loading".

He once told his grandfather when he was a child, but after hearing this, he didn't say anything, but turned around and invited the witch from the east end of the village to come over and pressed him to a bowl of black paper ash water.

Since then, he has understood that the existence of this thing cannot be told to others.

Later, after a long time, he didn't realize that this thing had an abnormal impact on himself, so he threw it behind him.

After the Chinese New Year this year, in order to raise the expenses of going to college, he had to follow his uncle from the village to the construction site and became a great socialist builder - a migrant worker.

Looking at the contents on the light curtain, he vaguely guessed the purpose of this system.

However, the worker still has to work.

Carrying the bucket of boiling water, Xu Rong carefully avoided the iron nails and cement blocks falling on the ground and drilled through the scaffolding.

The moment he leaned his head short, he saw several middle-aged men wearing yellow safety helmets coming not far away, among which was Boss Liu, the foreman on the construction site.

I couldn't help but wonder, could it be that I'm going to check again?

Because in addition to inspections, there are only two technicians wearing safety helmets on the entire construction site.

However, it has nothing to do with him whether he checks or not. He just needs to work. Thinking of this, he turned his head and headed down the stairs to go straight to the sixth floor.

"The water is coming."

"All of attention, everyone comes down first, everyone comes down first."

Xu Rong took his big blue plastic water cup and drank it. When he heard Boss Liu arguing below, he walked a few steps, reached the edge of the steel mesh, held the scaffolding and took a look down.

Boss Liu was holding a loudspeaker, and two middle-aged people stood next to him, pushing their clothes in a semicircle.

"What's going on?"

"80% of the carpenters have weaved the wrong one again."

"Go down and take a look."

After following people downstairs, they arrived at the simple house and saw that almost all the people on the construction site had arrived. Xu Rong realized that it was definitely not the carpenter who had weaved the shells wrongly, because there was no need to call everyone up at all, and the foreman just notified him.

Boss Liu was wearing a white short-sleeved plaid shirt and a big belly. He shouted: "This is the big director Guan Hu. Today, he came to our construction site to select actors to shoot TV series. Are there anyone who signed up?"

As he said that, he pointed to the middle-aged man wearing a black coat beside him.

Xu Rong's heart moved and looked at the man named Guan Hu carefully. He was tall, bearded and had a pair of black-framed eyes.

He didn't say anything. He worked on the construction site a day, which cost thirty yuan.

"Eighty a day, food and accommodation are in charge."

"I sign up."

A young man with long hair in the carpenter raised his hand and asked, "Can you be on TV?"

Guan Hu grinned and nodded, "Yes, if you choose, you will definitely be on TV."

The carpenter said without hesitation: "Then I sign up."

Guan Hu did not respond immediately, but said, "You can act and see if you want to do something, for example, you are very angry with me and want to do something but don't dare."

"Just put it here?"

“It’s right here!”

Because he stood behind, Xu Rong could not see the young carpenter's face. He only saw him walking forward with his fist in his arms. But less than a few seconds later, Guan Hu shook his head and said, "No."

The young carpenter shrank his neck, smiled slightly red and returned to the crowd.

"Is there any more? Eighty a day, food and accommodation."

Xu Rong hesitated, slowly raised his hand, and shouted, "I...I sign up."

"Bang"

"Xiao Xu, what are you doing?"

Xu Rong staggered, turned around and saw that Uncle Liu on the side kicked him, smiled and patted his butt, and said, "I'll give it a try."

When Xu Rong walked up and down, Guan Hu looked him up and down and asked, "Are you not old?"

"I'm seventeen this year."

"Like it just now, I'll show you."

Xu Rong nodded and said, "Okay."

He took a deep breath and recalled the anger he was bullied by the children in the village when he was a child. His fists were slowly clenched, his teeth were bitten, and his eyes were staring at Guan Hu.

Guan Hu only looked at it for a few seconds, then nodded and said, "No, you can."

"ah?"

Xu Rong was stunned. He just tried it with a fun mentality, but it turned out to be true?

"Well, go and wait behind." Guan Hu said, then ignored him and turned around and asked, "Are there any registrations?"

"Amount...Amount registration."

"I'll sign up too."

"Uh, report."

It seemed that Xu Rong's success inspired the migrant workers present, and several palms wearing black and half gray and half white gloves appeared in the crowd.

But when he finally left, there were only Xu Rong and an old carpenter in his fifties.

With a nylon bag on his back, Xu Rong followed Guan Hu and said goodbye to the elders and villagers on the construction site.

Because Guan Hu said that the shooting time will last about three months.

It's eighty a day, and it's settled on the same day, and it's still in charge of food and accommodation.

This is a good thing, even if you can't find it with a lantern.

Then Guan Hu got on the bus and looked at the few migrant workers sitting behind the bus who were dressed similarly to him. Xu Rong was still confused.

Seeing that everyone was crowded at the end, he picked a seat in front and sat down. The old carpenter who came with him looked at it and sat down next to him.

After the car started and stayed away from the construction site for a long time, Xu Rong came over to be confused. How could he act like a nonsense?

The reason why I was able to pass it just now is that I was bullied too much before, so I could remember that emotion. If I were to act something else, I would probably have to be exposed immediately.

He was a little panicked, and subconsciously shouted in his heart: "System?"

With his thoughts, the light curtain emerged again.
