The cause of the incident was still chatting during the shooting break.

Xu Qing: "Don't you have to go to class?"

Xu Rong: "No, I'm taking a leave of absence from school. I plan to go back and prepare for the exam after I save enough tuition."

Xu Qing: "Suspension of study?"

Xu Rong: "Well, come out and earn tuition."

Xu Qing: "Then have you earned enough?"

Xu Rong: "I guess it's not even close. Brother Li said that if I'm going to be admitted to an art school, I have to sign up for a training class. I guess a couple of movies will be enough."

Xu Qing: "Do you know many directors and producers?"

Xu Rong: "No, I don't know anyone. It's just luck."

Xu Qing: "Shall I introduce you to an agent?"

Although Xu Rong had made great plans, it had been less than a year since he started his career, but he felt that his growth in the past six months was more profound than in the past seventeen years.

He didn't take it seriously. He and Xu Qing just had some intersection by chance. Just like Zhang Fengyi, they met by chance, but they were essentially people from two different worlds.

Xu Qing just said it so casually, and he just listened to it so casually. He arrived in a hurry and didn't take it seriously.

But when Xu Qing gave him a phone number, he suddenly felt that although Aunt Xu was not young, she was really kind-hearted and really warm-hearted.

"Thank you, Sister Xu," Xu Rong said sincerely. She was the first person to give him practical help in the past year.

Xu Qing smiled, her eyes slightly narrowed into a crescent shape, revealing two beautiful dimples, and said: "No, a friend just happened to ask, so I recommended you."

Xu Rong nodded, and at the same time he vaguely understood a truth. He was quite utilitarian in currying favor with Zhang Fengyi. His purpose was to ask him to guide him in acting. He also tried to contact Jiang Wen, but his hot face was met with a cold butt.

Holding the note, he suddenly realized that one can be utilitarian in doing things, but cannot be utilitarian in life.

For Zhang Fengyi, he asked for something, but all he got was a few words of guidance. For Xu Qing, he asked for nothing, but received unexpected help.

He didn't know the importance of this harvest, but at least for him at this moment, it was a hope.

Just like the last time on the set of "Migrant Workers of Survival", there was no farewell and the departure was also quiet.

After packing up and paying homage, Xu Rong boarded the train heading north early in the morning.

When he arrived in the capital, he first found a place to live, and then spent a huge sum of money to buy himself a big item, a PHS mobile phone.

I fiddled with my phone for a while, not only out of curiosity, but also to cheer myself up.

When you have no expectations, you don’t feel like you have anything to worry about. But once you have expectations, you start to worry about gains and losses.

After nearly ten minutes, he made the call.

A Nunuo voice came from the phone: "Hello, this is Hairun, who are you?"

Xu Rong said hurriedly: "Hello, I am Xu Rong, introduced by teacher Xu Qing."

"Okay, please wait a moment."

The phone fell into a brief silence. After a while, the Nuo Nuo voice said again: "Hello, are you there?"

"Here I am."

"You can come over at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. The address is..."

Xu Rong responded, and the other party hung up the phone with a "click", followed by a "beep beep" busy tone.

After hanging up the phone, he immediately went online to search for information about "Hairun". The more he looked at it, the more unreasonable he felt, especially the various "biggest" names in the country, which made him feel even more stressed about tomorrow's group.

Aunt Xu’s casual mention is a bit powerful.

But when he arrived at Hairun's door the next day, he felt calm again. The crew of "The Great Qing Dynasty" was not crowded with big names, but what did it have to do with him?

No matter how big the brand is, Hairun is not ours, right?

Xu Rong wore a peaked cap because her hair had not yet grown out. As soon as she entered the door, she was stopped by two burly security guards.

"I'm looking for Guo Si. I made an appointment yesterday."

"Wait here."

In Xu Rong's imagination, the person with such a waxy voice must be an extremely cute girl, but when he saw a chubby girl wearing black-rimmed glasses getting out of the elevator and waving to him, he was stunned.

.

"Xu Rong, this way." Guo Si ran a few steps. When he arrived, he took a few breaths and said, "Are you Xu Rong? Come on, follow me up."

A resolute fat girl.

Xu Rong listened to Nuo Nuo's voice, looked at the figure walking in front that was nearly twice as wide as hers, and forcibly suppressed the surprised expression that should not appear on this occasion.

In the elevator, Guo Si, who was not tall, raised his head slightly and said: "The first person I will take you to see is Mr. Chang Jihong. She is a well-known agent and the director of the company. By the way, you and Xu

What’s the relationship with the teacher?”

"We have filmed a movie with the same crew." Xu Rong didn't make it up and said it straightforwardly.

Guo Si said clearly: "Oh."

On the sixth floor, Guo Si led him to the frosted glass office in the innermost room, stretched out his hand and knocked twice.

"Come in."

The voice coming from the room was very gentle and sounded quite young. Xu Rong estimated that he must be over forty years old.

Chang Jihong should be short in stature, with short hair, fat body, small eyes, and also wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses. His face is quite kind.

"Hello, Teacher Chang."

"Sit down." Chang Jihong looked at him for a while. When Xu Rong felt a little embarrassed, he suddenly shook his head and said, "You have a good image, but you are not suitable to be an actor. Are you interested in changing careers and becoming an agent?"

This was not the first time Xu Rong had heard such words, and he was mentally prepared. But after thinking about it, he still shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Teacher Chang, I still want to be an actor."

Chang Jihong was not angry, but showed an inexplicable smile on his face and said: "Why, do you love performing?"

"No." Xu Rong shook his head again and said, "The money comes quickly."

The gentleness on Chang Jihong's face froze for a moment, and he said after a while: "This is the first time I've met such an honest person like you, and you didn't use that nonsense about loving performances."

"That's it." Chang Jihong turned to Guo Si who was standing aside and said, "Xiao Guo, take him through the formalities. Weren't we looking for someone upstairs two days ago? You can pick one as you watch."

"Okay, leader."

At noon, Xu Rong walked out of the building carrying a script and a contract.

He could see that Chang Jihong signed him because of Aunt Xu's favor.

I probably feel that I have no future. The contract period is only three years, which is incomparable with the current long-term contracts that often last for seven or ten years.

While Guo Si was taking the contract to get it stamped, he had already roughly read the script.

In the current general trend of emotional dramas accounting for a large proportion of any drama, this drama is destined to be unlikely to be popular, and he took one of the less important roles. No matter how you look at it, it feels like sending a beggar away.

But he doesn't care too much. After filming this movie, at least he won't have to worry about money in a short period of time.

He had about 11 episodes with more than five scenes, 3,000 per episode, and a total salary of 33,000.

The brokerage company takes 60%, but because the drama itself is invested by Hairun Film and Television, it is equivalent to taking the left hand and the right hand.

The remaining 40% brokerage company will take another 10%, and then pay taxes when the time comes, almost getting over 10,000 yuan.

That's enough.

Before getting on the bus, he glanced at the title of the script.

"Bright Sword"

The crew plans to start shooting in mid-to-late December, and there are still three months left, but Xu Rong has no plans to go home.

Guo Si had made it clear to him before that the company would give him three to five roles to test the waters. If there was improvement, the company would increase investment in resources. If not, the contract would be almost non-existent.

In the short term, he doesn't have to worry about finances, but class registration must be put on the schedule.

It is already September, and in half a year, I will take the art exam. About three months after the art exam, I will take the unified college entrance examination.

He wasn't too worried about the unified examination, but he was quite unsure about the art examination.

Considering that he would stay in Beijing for a while, he rented a house near Nortel.

After packing up, I walked around China Theater and Nortel and looked at the prices of training courses.

Since the training fee was a bit expensive, he bought 30 sets of cultural class test papers and locked himself in a rental house for a week.

He was going to try Li Yujie's method. After finishing the test paper, he spent fifty yuan to apply for a certificate. After several investigations, he finally came to a medium-sized training institution.

"Star Art"

He glanced at the roll-up sign recruiting people by the door, reviewed Jiang Wen's performance in his mind, opened the door and walked in.

There was an oval-faced girl in professional attire sitting at the front desk. When she saw him coming in, she raised her eyes, forced a smile on her face, and asked, "Hello, do you want to sign up for a class?"

Xu Rong shook his head and said, "No, I'm here to apply for a job as a teacher."

The small smile on the girl's face immediately faded. Seeing that he was young, she asked: "What is your education level?"

Xu Rong didn't answer immediately. He confidently took out his student ID card from his pocket, patted it in front of the girl, and said: "General school, Peking University, but I haven't graduated yet."
