Chapter 6 Growth(1/2)

"Xu Rong, Xu Rong, get up."

"What are you doing, Brother Li?"

"It's time to leave."

Xu Rong looked at Li Mingjie who was getting dressed in a daze, then turned to look out the window. The night was still dark.

He felt like he had just fallen asleep.

"what time is it?"

"Four o'clock."

Xu Rong rubbed his groggy glasses and quickly got up.

Although I am still very sleepy, I have to rush to the set.

She steeled herself and washed her face. When she went downstairs, Xu Rong rubbed her dizzy head, looked at Li Minjie and asked, "Brother Li, are all actors like this?"

"Pretty much, the film crew usually tries to arrange each actor's scenes together, which can save a lot of costs. For example, for you, with a three-month shooting schedule, you only need to stay for about one month."

After getting in the car, Xu Rong leaned on his seat and said, "I feel like I can't handle this for a week, let alone a month."

"I told you to come back early yesterday, but you didn't listen. Now you know how uncomfortable it is, and it's just the beginning." Li Yujie lowered her head and played with her mobile phone and said, "When the temperature comes up later, you won't be able to bear it anymore."

Seeing Zhang Fengyi coming up, Xu Rong said hello, took over the conversation, and said, "That's like Teacher Zhang. Isn't that more tiring? He basically didn't get much rest during the day."

Li Minjie rubbed her thumb, index and middle fingers together, and when she saw Xu Rong's expression of understanding, she said, "Squint for a while, otherwise you won't be energetic during the day."

Just after arriving at the set and putting on makeup, the crew once again fell into the exact same situation as yesterday morning.

"start."

"Card."

"Again."

"start."

"Card."

"Again..."

The dispute between Jiang Wen and Zhang Wanting became even more intense, and due to the setting, it was impossible to proceed further.

At the end of the day, Xu Rong almost spent the whole day in the quarrel between Jiang Wen and Zhang Wanting.

At night, Chen Dong went from room to room and informed everyone that they would have a day off tomorrow.

Xu Rong understood that if the problem was not solved, he would not be able to continue filming, let alone a day's rest, even a month's rest.

However, the problem was solved faster than expected.

On the third day of the official launch of "The Great Qing Dynasty", when Xu Rong arrived at the set again, Zhang Wanting was nowhere to be seen.

Soon, he knew the reason.

The director has changed.

The new director's name is Chen Jialin. He is a middle-aged man with half-white hair and a Chinese character. He always has a smile on his face and looks quite friendly.

Seeing this, Xu Rong had a bold idea in his mind.

He crooked Li Mingjie next to him with his elbow and asked, "Do you think that if I deliberately make Teacher Jiang Wen unhappy, will you replace me as well? And then give me a large amount of liquidated damages."

Li Yujie glanced at him sideways and said, "If you plan to make a fortune and stop being part of the circle in the future, it will definitely be fine."

"Okay, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Chen Jialin's directing style is completely different from Zhang Wanting's. He is quite tolerant of actors' independent expression. He probably saw Zhang Wanting's mistakes. He followed Jiang Wen's ideas how he wanted to act.

As they gradually got to know each other, Xu Rong discovered that Jiang Wen was not a difficult person to get along with. As long as it did not involve his understanding of the role, he would not ask more questions, and he never interfered with Chen Jialin's requirements for other actors.

But Xu Rong suffered a lot, especially after the crew moved to the film and television base in Suzhou and his roles began to focus.

Although he has been working hard to improve himself, he is always a little short of Chen Jialin's requirements.

He also saw that Chen Jialin was filming according to the requirements of a professional actor. He could have ideas and use them, but he had to do the most basic things.

These requirements are easy for students like Li Yujie who have graduated from professional colleges to complete, but for him, a monk who has become a monk halfway, it is not the least bit difficult.

On the fifth day after moving to the new base, Xu Rong squatted on the ground without any image, holding a wooden stick and banging blindly.

"Cheer up, haven't you just been NGed a few times? Why do you look like a defeated rooster?" Zhang Fengyi patted him on the shoulder.

Xu Rongwei could only respond with a wry smile. Originally, it would have been better if Xu Qing rehearsed with him.

However, Mr. Xu said that he has no habit of rehearsing, which is understandable. Many actors do not have this habit and think that this will limit their performance.

But Xu Rong can't do it. His upper limit is too low. No matter how brilliant he is, it's hard for him to shine.

He also mentioned lining up first, but Teacher Xu was uncooperative and even ignored him.

He squatted and thought for a while before he vaguely understood the reason.

The cause of the matter was that he was too tired during this period. He arrived at the set in a daze in the morning. When he met Xu Qing, he said hello and called "Teacher Xu."

It had been about ten days since the filming started, and they often bumped into each other, and the two of them had a lot of opposite roles to come, so Xu Qing said, "No need to call me teacher, that's too polite."

Xu Rong heard Li Yujie mention before that Xu Qing was more than ten years older than him, and then he said casually: "Hello, Aunt Xu."

He still remembered the situation at that time. Xu Qingren was confused for a long time.

But he didn't realize anything was wrong.

It wasn't until Xu Qing refused to rehearse that he realized that he had said the wrong thing, but he couldn't understand it. It was just a title, wasn't it?

Zhang Fengyi understood the reason, laughed, turned around, acted as a peacemaker, and persuaded: "Teacher Xu, please arrange it again first? Look at how tired the children are."

Xu Rong was probably very diligent in delivering tea and water these days, and Zhang Fengyi gave him advice from time to time.

"Teacher Zhang, you know" Xu Qing sat on the chair, her eyes formed a crescent moon, she glanced at Xu Rong with a wry smile on her face, tilted her head and said, "I really don't have the habit of rehearsing."

"Why are you so short-sighted? Please apologize to Teacher Xu immediately."

Xu Rong also knew that this was not the way to go, so he stood up and walked over, apologizing and saying: "Teacher Xu, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to do it."

"Why are you apologizing? I really don't have the habit of rehearsing, and I didn't mean to target you. It's not like you haven't seen it these days?" Xu Qing was still sitting on the recliner, raising her chin slightly, and said: "And what do you mean? Yes, you didn’t mean it, but you thought I was very old? That’s why you called me Teacher Xu?”

"No, no, no," Xu Rong hurriedly waved his hands in defense. It was the first time that he felt that a woman was so troublesome, and he was completely unreasonable.

"I don't think so. You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen."

The dimples on Xu Qing's face suddenly appeared, but she immediately lowered her head to stop them. After blinking a few times, she raised her head again and asked: "Really? Then why don't you dare to look when you are talking? As for me, he looked at me and said, say it again, and don’t call me teacher again.”

Xu Rong kept staring at her toes and did not notice the subtle changes in Xu Qing's expression.

But I noticed that Zhang Fengyi and Jiang Wen were holding back their laughter and holding their waists while watching the show.

The surrounding area suddenly became quiet, as if they had been paying attention just now.

Xu Rong moved her gaze to Xu Qing's face, and instinctively wanted to dodge, but the next moment she moved back forcefully, focusing on her eyebrows.

Her skin color is very fair and her eyes are watery, but unfortunately she is a woman.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he said seriously: "Sister Xu..., you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen in my life."

"puff."

Jiang Wen, who was drinking water, squirted out all the water in one gulp. He held his stomach and stamped one foot on the ground with laughter. After a while, he was out of breath and said: "Xiao Xu, are you reciting your lines? Hahaha. .”

"Hahaha"

Hearing the roar of laughter around him, Xu Rong dug her toes into the soles of her shoes in embarrassment. It was so embarrassing and embarrassing.

"Okay, okay, everyone, stop laughing." Chen Jialin saw that Xu Qing was also covering her mouth with joy, and said, "Teacher Xu, will you forgive Xiao Xu this time?"

Xu Qing also smiled and said: "Looking at what you said, it seems like I am a petty person."

She stood up, turned to face the embarrassed Xu Rong, and said softly: "No matter how old you meet a woman from now on, you can't call her aunt, otherwise she might fall out with you on the spot, remember?"

Xu Rong thought to herself: Can I stop dealing with women in the future?

But on the lips, she still said with a low eyebrow: "Thank you, Sister Xu...".

At the same time, I secretly warned myself that I would rather talk less than say the wrong thing in the future, especially when dealing with women.

The crew started filming again. Because of what happened before, everyone in the crew was deeply impressed by Xu Rong, and he was no longer an ordinary actor.

The benefits are also obvious.

"Xiao Xu, look at Teacher Xu."

Chen Jialin called out, and there seemed to be a bit of joking in his voice: "Are you shy?"

"Why do I feel like you're a little afraid of me?"

"without."

"Then why don't you dare to look at me."

"..."

"Why do not you speak?"
