Early the next morning, although Zhu Xiaopeng was still too sleepy to open his eyes, under the urging of the third and final alarm clock, he had to get up on a comfortable bed.

Today, I can't go too far. Although no one said anything about him yesterday, as the last one and the last in the group in terms of qualifications, fame, and skills, he is a little embarrassed.

Originally, he didn't have to be so sleepy, but last night, for some reason, he stayed up for a while.

Originally, he had no intention of staying up late, and even made up his mind to go to bed on time at eleven o'clock, then get up early today and rush to the theater before eight o'clock.

Because yesterday he heard from Yu Zhen that Puyuan and Xu Rong both arrived before eight o'clock.

There is an unwritten tradition in the academy. If rehearsals or performances start at seven o'clock, the actors usually have to go backstage at six o'clock.

This is what was left by the elders of the previous generation.

But that generation of people has withdrawn from the stage just like the glory of human art, and it has not been written down. There are no rules in black and white, so there is no need to strictly abide by them.

After making up his mind to go to bed early and get up early last night, he was sincerely moved by his positive determination and attitude.

Unknowingly, he has become like the old artists.

I don’t know if I am used to staying up late, lying in bed for a long time, tossing and turning. Not only did I not fall asleep, but I became more and more energetic.

Helpless, he got up and played on the computer for a while, then went to bed again. When he was about to go to bed, he took out his mobile phone again.

Then inexplicably and mysteriously, I opened the recently popular Weibo.

Then by chance, he saw a vote initiated online, about Xu Rong.

In recent days, due to the popularity of "The Beautiful Era of Daughters-in-law", the pairing of Xu Rong and Hai Qing has become very popular. Every satellite TV station across the country has been rushing to broadcast it over and over again.

After casting his own vote, he originally wanted to follow Xu Rong, but after searching, he found that he didn't have a Weibo account at all.

Even though Weibo is almost entirely filled with news about him.

He found it quite unbelievable that Xu Rong, with such a big influence, had not yet opened Weibo?

He suddenly became interested.

Then he started searching for Xu Rong’s past experiences.

Watching Xu Rong's experience is far more inspiring than listening to his speeches. He has worked on a construction site, acted as an extra, and played supporting roles. By chance, thanks to the company's support, he became famous in one fell swoop.

From Xu Rong's experience, he learned the secret to success, which is a high degree of self-discipline.

Concerned about others and himself, he glanced at the time, and before he knew it, it was already one o'clock in the morning.

Putting down the phone, I felt inspired by Xu Rong's fame, but at the same time, I was filled with guilt and guilt.

Tomorrow will be an old artist!

Therefore, he failed to get up at the expected time.

After washing up quickly, he hurried out of the house. On the way, he bought two steamed buns and a cup of soy milk, planning to eat them in the courtyard.

When he arrived at the door of the rehearsal hall, he first looked at the time and found that he still had time. After calming down his rapid breathing, he reached out and pushed the door open.

Because there was a performance this afternoon and the theater was setting up the scene, the crew moved to the rehearsal hall to rehearse.

He put his hand on the door and just pushed it open a crack when he suddenly heard a familiar but cold voice: "Please come out, we are rehearsing."

He subconsciously reduced most of the strength on his hand, and gently opened a gap that only allowed one person to pass through. However, before he even raised his foot to enter, the door was suddenly opened, and an angry man in his twenties walked out.

Almond-eyed girl.

He glanced at it and didn't recognize it. Maybe it was a relative or friend of one of the actors in the group.

But then, he keenly realized that something was wrong.

Usually when I bring my friends over, no one cares.

He entered the door quietly and saw Pu Cunxi on the stage with a straight face and said in a cold voice: "I emphasize once again that no one is allowed to bring people who are not related to the rehearsal into the rehearsal hall without permission."

"Okay, let's start lining up."

Zhu Xiaopeng glanced around and saw Xu Rong standing aside, with a rather ugly face, and he had some vague guesses in his heart.

Puyuan was probably worried, and even the people brought by Xu Rong were kicked out.

Seeing that people were queuing up on the stage, Zhu Xiaopeng had no choice but to put breakfast aside and quickly join them.

After finishing the list, Pu Cunxi said: "Everyone, please rest for a while. I will tell you a story from the early years. In the 1920s, one of our warlords in Peking..."

Zhu Xiaopeng and Yu Mingjia brought over the uneaten breakfast as usual, but as soon as they opened it and before they touched their mouths, they suddenly heard an extremely abrupt voice: "Get out!"

Zhu Xiaopeng and Yu Mingjia each held their own breakfast. They were stunned for a moment. When they met Pu Cunxi's eyes, they suddenly realized that Pu Yuan seemed to be talking to them.

Pu Cunxi frowned, looked at the breakfast in their hands, and said: "The rehearsal hall is a place for rehearsals, not a restaurant. If you want to go out to eat, when you finish eating, when will you come back."

After being stunned, Yu Mingjia hurriedly put away the breakfast, and at the same time grabbed Zhu Xiaopeng who was really about to go out to eat.

She glared at him. She didn't listen to what Puyuan was going to say about the historical background of the play. If she really went out, the role she finally got would be ruined.

"From today on, no one is allowed to eat in the rehearsal hall or theater, do you hear me?"

"Listen, I heard it."

"OK."

Yu Zhen and Xin Yue on the side looked at each other secretly, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice. Fortunately, they both came after dinner.

But at the same time, I was a little confused in my heart, why Puyuan, who was usually so kind and sociable, suddenly became so strict today.

Xu Rong glanced at Pu Cunxi's stern face with a "lower" mood, and then quietly met Zhang Wankun's eyes.

here we go.

It’s not in vain that classmate Xiao Zhang made a guest appearance.

This was something he suddenly remembered after returning home last night, and then he figured it out with Pu Cunxi.

In more than a month, Xiao Zhang will take the exam in the courtyard. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, if he has something to do or nothing, he will always hang out in front of Pu Cunxi, so as not to miss him during the interview. Good guy, I didn’t recognize him.

, that would be embarrassing at grandma’s house.

Pu Cunxi continued to tell the stories he had heard from director Xia Chun in the past, but compared to yesterday, the atmosphere on the set was suddenly much suppressed.

Puyuan was obviously in a bad mood. Even Xu Rong, a junior whom he valued very much, didn't even give him any face, let alone others.

Xu Rong felt the mentality of everyone, and frowned slightly, but it was still not enough. This kind of depression could not be compared with Zhou Mansion.

But looking at Pu Cunxi's unhurried appearance, he was not in a hurry. Today's protagonist is Pu Cunxi.

At lunch time, during the rehearsal of "Drinking Medicine", a sudden ringing of a bell instantly interrupted Yu Mingjia and Zhu Xiaopeng's lines.

Because of their pause, Pu Cunxi and Xu Rong, who were rehearsing on the same stage, could not continue.

Everyone invariably looked at a brown windbreaker hanging on a chair on one side.

Yu Mingjia hurriedly ran over, took out her cell phone from her pocket, and quickly hung up the phone.

Pu Cunxi looked at her, stretched out his hand and said, "Bring it here."

Yu Mingjia looked at Pu Cunxi's serious face, hesitated, walked slowly to Pu Cunxi, and handed the pink mobile phone with a bunny pendant into his hand.

Pu Cunxi first glanced down at his phone, and then said: "Less than, you should know the rules of the rehearsal hall. When entering the rehearsal hall, you must turn your phone to silent mode. You are considered a veteran actor in the academy, so you should know it.

, and should also set an example for the newcomers to come.”

Yu Mingjia apologized hurriedly: "Sorry, Puyuan, I just used it and forgot to turn it off."

Pu Cunxi shook his head and said, "Then I will give you a long memory."

As he spoke, he put the phone down on the ground with a "pop" sound, then lifted up his leather shoes and stepped on them hard.

"Click."

"Click."

Pu Cunxi's series of actions not only scared Yu Mingjia in front of him and pushed him back two steps, but also Xu Rong and Zhang Wankun who knew the reason were dumbfounded.

Puyuan, you are going too far.

After Yu Mingjia was stunned for a moment, her face turned from white to red, and then from red to white again. As the apple of her parents' palms since childhood, how could she have ever been so angry?

But she also clearly understood that she couldn't lose her temper. The other party was not only a senior in the industry, but also the executive vice president of humanities and arts.

In the end, the anger in her chest, which had nowhere to vent, could only turn into mist, lingering in her eyes.

As soon as Xu Rong saw that the plot had developed to this point, he understood that it was time for him to appear. He hurriedly walked over, separated the two of them with his body, and said: "Puyuan, Puyuan, calm down, calm down."

Then he picked up the mobile phone that was almost in two pieces after being stepped on by Pu Cunxi, and said: "Teacher Yu, Puyuan has been under too much pressure these days. He is doing it just to be able to arrange the show, so you must not take it to heart."

"It won't be the same next time." Pu Cunxi walked down the steps built by Xu Rong, but still glanced around the crowd and said.

Yu Mingjia was angry, but she didn't dare to object, and she didn't want to agree. Faced with Xu Rong's comfort, she whispered: "Thank you."

Shi Lanya said at this time: "Puyuan, let's eat first, and then wait after eating. Xiao Zhu and Xiao Yu haven't eaten since they got up in the morning. Only when they have a full stomach can they have the strength to work."

Pu Cunxi glanced at her, nodded and said, "Okay."

Then, he turned his head again and winked at Xu Rong.

We walked out of the rehearsal hall and went upstairs to Pu Cunxi's office.

Pu Cunxi took out a stack of banknotes from the wallet in the drawer, handed it over, and said: "Xiao Xu, this is two thousand yuan. Please buy a mobile phone later and give it to Xiao Xiao. If it's not enough, you can come back and follow me."
