Xu Rong moved to the hotel that night. In order to save money, he had been staying in the hotel since arriving in the capital. There were so many people coming and going, which was neither hygienic nor safe.

Lying on the bed, I read through the script given by Chen Dong, which confirmed my previous guess.

His role in the play is Fulin, the Emperor Shunzhi.

Theoretically, as an emperor, he should have a considerable amount of roles in "The Great Qing Dynasty", but in fact, in this romantic drama disguised as a historical drama, Fulin is the son of the heroine, Empress Xiaozhuang, and his role is not

Not particularly important.

"However, as an amateur actor with a group acting level, shouldn't I be lucky to get such a role?"

He sat up, took out his pen, and began to carefully study the script bit by bit. He failed to get a more important role. He attributed the reason to his own professional level.

Now, he has peeked into a corner of this industry and learned a little about the dark side, but he still believes that the dark side will never become mainstream. As long as his business level improves, he will not worry about not being able to get roles or make money.

It took two days to read the boring script five times.

He began to practice in front of the mirror, but no one commented, and he didn't know if his performance was correct.

After practicing for a long time, he stopped.

Looking at the light screen in his sight, he fell into deep thought. It turned out that on the crew of "Survival Migrant Workers", the experience points increased by two or three points every day, but today he practiced all morning, and he didn't get any experience points at all.

He had two guesses. One was that his understanding of the role was wrong, and the other was that the system itself did not calculate experience points while practicing.

He himself is more inclined to the first point. Without professional and systematic theoretical study, no one can guide him, and no one can imitate him. Even if he performs wrongly, he will feel that he is right.

"It would be nice if it was turned on earlier."

Xu Rong's expectations came true very quickly. Four days later, in late August, the crew informed them that filming would officially start.

The day before the filming started, Chen Dong taught Xu Rong another lesson.

"Hello, are you Xu Rong?"

Xu Rong looked at the short-haired young man with a long face standing behind the door, holding a suitcase. He nodded doubtfully and said, "I am Xu Rong, who are you?"

"I am Li Yujie, and I also live in this room." The young man said, raising the key card in his hand.

"Oh, Teacher Li, please come in." Xu Rong quickly stepped aside and apologized: "I was not notified in advance, so..."

Li Yujie smiled, but when he saw the gray nylon bag next to the window of the room, he asked in surprise: "This is it?"

"Oh, my luggage."

Li Mingjie's face couldn't help but become strange. After a while, she tentatively asked: "Is this a lot of pretense?"

"No." Xu Rong shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "To save money, I originally wanted to buy a suitcase, but it felt a bit expensive, so I didn't buy it."

Although he missed a lot of things while growing up, his grandfather also taught him a lot.

He won't feel inferior or ashamed over the trivial matter of using a nylon bag. Since he is packing luggage, what else should he use to pack it?

While the two were talking, he checked Li Yujie's evaluation. It was C, which was two ratings higher than his own.

Li Yujie herself was from a poor family, and vaguely guessed Xu Rong's difficulties. She stopped mentioning it and asked while packing her things: "I see you haven't graduated yet. Which school are you from?"

"I've graduated." Xu Rong made his forehead on the chair and said, "I haven't gone to college yet, and I'm preparing to take the exam next year. By the way, Teacher Li, which school did you graduate from?"

"Don't call me teacher, just call me brother." Li Mingjie seemed a little uncomfortable with this title, and said with a smile: "I won the show."

The two chatted for a while, until they realized that they were both from the same hometown, and they became very close at once.

And when it was mentioned that Xu Rong's grandfather worked in the Ping Coal Mine, and coincidentally worked in the same mine as Li Mingjie's parents, they found many common topics.

When it was time to eat, Xu Rong took Li Yujie to the cafeteria on the first floor.

While Xu Rong was eating, he saw a rather elegant woman walking in the door from a distance. She was thin, with an oval face, a burgundy shawl with wavy hair, and a pair of round-framed sunglasses. She couldn't help but ask: "Brother Li, is that person from our group? Do you know him?"

Li Yujie turned around and looked at her carefully for a while, with a look of surprise on her face, and said, "That's Teacher Xu Qing, who plays your mother. Why, do you like her?"

Xu Rong shook his head in denial. Before he could speak, Li Yujie added: "You are only seventeen this year, right? She debuted earlier. I guess when she was your age, you were still wearing crotchless pants."

Xu Rong almost choked at Li Mingjie's words, but after tasting it carefully, he felt that although Li Mingjie's metaphor was not quite appropriate, he couldn't explain why it was inappropriate.

Seeing Xu Rong's expression of constipation, Li Minjie took a sip of soup and asked with a smile: "How about it, are you still interested? Haha."

"I still think it's better to be younger." Xu Rong laughed sarcastically and said, "However, he doesn't look like someone that old. I feel like he is only about two or three years older than me."

Li Yujie grinned and said: "In our industry, your face is the most precious thing. You always pay attention to taking care of it. You look young, but it's actually all made with money. Let me tell you, at her age, she still has a lot of money." If you can maintain your current status, you must at least have this number."

Li Yujie said, holding out five fingers.

Xu Rong was surprised and said: "Five hundred thousand?"

"Don't mention zero." Li Yan gave him a white look and said: "You didn't go to college, but you don't know that art school students start taking care of themselves since their freshman year. There are many lotions, lotions, and creams, and they all buy special ones. It’s expensive, not to mention them, but us actors too. Although we don’t spend that much, we must have what we should have, otherwise we will have trouble with our careers.”

Seeing that Xu Rong was confused, Li Yujie didn't explain much and asked: "By the way, how did you get into this industry? It's not easy given your conditions, right?"

Xu Rong roughly talked about his own experience.

Although he was vague when talking about taking the current role, Li Yujie vaguely guessed it and asked in a low voice: "How much did you pay him?"

Xu Rong stretched out two fingers, took a breath and said: "Two thousand, I feel so sad. If this were on a construction site, I would have to work for two and a half months without stopping."

Li Mingjie quietly gave a thumbs up with the hand holding the chopsticks and said: "Although you are six or seven years younger than me, your courage is awesome."

Xu Rong smiled. Chen Dong had already told him when he assigned a room to him that the remuneration sharing issue would not be discussed until both of them wanted to stop working in this industry.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Yujie said: "If you plan to take the path of being an actor, I suggest that you'd better take the exams of the three major colleges and universities. After the filming of this movie is finished, you should stop taking roles and prepare for the exams with peace of mind.

Then sign up for a training class in the capital to catch up on the basics."

Xu Rong remembered everything in his mind, but he was not sure whether he could do it.

Li Yujie said it lightly. It costs money to register for classes. If he stayed in the capital, he would have to rent a house.

It was true that the money came quickly from filming, but it was not enough to spend. In addition, he had to consider tuition fees. Even if the salary of the film was added, he estimated that it would be even worse.

However, he was not too disappointed. He had already thought about it. As long as he held on to Chen Dong's rope and took on two or three more movies, there should be no problem in going to school. As for the 30/70 share of the remuneration, since he had gained it, he had to

He has already figured out the principle of giving something.

His short-term plan is to apply for art school next year. As for the longer-term and more detailed plan, he has not thought about it yet.

After realizing the function of the system, he felt that as long as he kept acting, completed more than ten movies, and through his diligent efforts, he would be able to raise the overall evaluation to D+ or above. By then, things would be better.

Much better.

After eating and washing up, Li Yujie advised him to go to bed early. Xu Rong didn't understand at first, but when he was called up at four o'clock the next day, he finally understood Li Yujie's intention.

When Xu Rong arrived at the set in a daze and was waiting for her makeup to be put on, she realized that she seemed to have been involved in a big production without knowing it.

"Brother Li, that teacher looks familiar." Xu Rong said, pointing to the middle-aged man who received a B+ evaluation from the system.

The man was about the same height as him, about 1.76 meters tall, with a thin face, and his eyes narrowed when he smiled. He had seen him on TV several times before, but because he had never paid attention to them in the past, he didn't know the other person's name.

Li Yujie looked at him strangely and asked, "Don't you watch the news? That's Teacher Zhang Fengyi, but there is a bigger person in our group."

"Who?"

"Teacher Jiang Wen."

Seeing that there was no sign of surprise on Xu Rong's face, Li Yujie said in surprise: "You know?"

"I don't know." Xu Rong looked at him strangely and asked, "Is he famous?"

Li Minjie opened her mouth, knowing that what she said was in vain, but when she thought about Xu Rong's situation, she understood again.

After a while, Xu Rong finally saw who the so-called "Teacher Jiang Wen" was. He had a round face, a beard, slightly dark skin, but his voice was not too bright and a bit hoarse.

But when he saw the A- rating given by the system, he was slightly surprised. This was the highest rating he had ever seen since he figured out that the system could view other people's ratings.

However, his evaluation of the system is not overly superstitious, because every time an evaluation is given, the system will note that it will fluctuate due to differences in status, investment, role, etc. And based on his experience as a marginalized person in the industry, this

The floating range is quite wide.

While putting on makeup, Xu Rong looked at his shaved head in the mirror and felt a little regretful. He would have known that he would not have his hair styled a few days ago.

After the opening ceremony, the crew officially started shooting. At this time, Xu Rong had already put on makeup, moved a small bench, and was waiting to gain experience.

After the introductions at the ceremony, Xu Rong made a general mental note of the teachers in the group, especially the ones who were introduced first, and kept them in mind.

And the woman who auditioned for him a few days ago was, as he guessed, the director of the crew, named Zhang Wanting.

The name is quite nice, but after half noon, Xu Rong was stunned that she had not seen her smile, and she secretly guessed that this director might not be easy to get along with.

It was pretty much what he expected, but as soon as filming started, the crew encountered problems.

The first one is a scene between Jiang Wen and Zhang Fengyi. It's not that there was a problem in the coordination between the two. It was obvious that the two had known each other for a long time and had a good personal relationship. They chatted for a while when they first met.

The problem lies between the big shot Jiang Wen and director Zhang Wanting.

Xu Rong was quite surprised to see directors Zhang Wanting and Jiang Wen start to argue after two reshoots and repeated communication with no result.

, an actor and the director had a disagreement over the expression of the character, and they even got into a heated argument.

Xu Rong vaguely heard a little bit of the dispute between the two and asked: "Brother Li, can the actor still act according to his own ideas?"

Li Mingjie pointed at him, then at herself, and said: "We definitely can't do this, but they are smart, this is a privilege, and Teacher Jiang Wen is also a great director. According to rumors, he is famous

It’s not easy to serve.”

"oh."

Xu Rong had a scene today. He originally came here hoping to gain experience, but after a whole morning, he didn't gain experience and just listened to the idle chatter for a long time.

He finally figured it out. Although Zhang Wanting is a female director, she has much stronger control than Guan Hu. Guan Hu allows actors to perform on their own on the set. As long as they communicate with him in advance, sometimes even if they don't communicate in advance, if they perform on the spot,

If it's good, he will praise it twice.

But director Zhang is obviously the opposite. She seems to regard the entire film crew as a machine and cannot tolerate any deviation.

Even though Jiang Wen was such a big shot, Zhang Wanting did not give him any privileges that a wise man should have.

But this big shot Jiang has a stubborn temper and wants to change Zhang Wanting's mind.
Chapter completed!
