"Sister Chen, thank you. I'll keep an eye on you later."
The two turned around the tent, and while Xiao Chen continued to boil hot water, Minghua took the dirty clothes and went to the water source to wash them. When they came back, they hung the clothes to dry on a tree branch. Only then did they realize that they were missing a lot of things.
"Minghua, I'll go out and contact Xu Ying tomorrow and bring us the things we need." Xiao Chen took the bucket.
Minghua nodded lightly, "Then I'll give you a hard time."
"No hard work, just running errands." Xiao Chen smiled at her, "Look and see what else is missing."
"Coat hangers, buckets, lunch boxes, small stoves, coal, that's pretty much it."
Xiao Chen said: "Would you like to bring you some other food?"
"Being not."
"Okay, I'm going to take a shower first." The water in the iron pot was boiling. Xiao Chen picked up the ears on both sides of the iron pot, poured the hot water from the small iron pot into the bucket, and then went to collect half a bucket of cold water.
Minghua helped carry cold water, and Xiao Chen went back to the tent to get a change of clothes, a bucket in one hand and clothes in one hand. The two went to the toilet together, Xiao Chen went in to take a shower, and Minghua stayed outside. If anyone came, he would stop them.
In less than ten minutes, Xiao Chen came out carrying a bucket and dirty clothes.
Minghua looked blank. Is this the end of washing?
Xiao Chen said: "I've finished washing, Minghua, let's go back."
"good."
Back in the tent, Minghua took out a dry towel to wipe her hair. Xiao Chen came back after washing his clothes and went with her to the makeshift canteen set up by the crew to get food.
After dinner, we went back to the tent to sleep. Halfway through the filming the next morning, Sister Chu's actors came over after a long journey.
"Director Xu." Sister Chu led the people over, attracting the attention of everyone present who was filming.
Director Xu glanced sideways and said in a nonchalant manner: "Here he comes!"
"Yes, Director Xu, she is my artist Xu Yingying." Sister Chu said to the people around her.
Xu Yingying has a gentle appearance and speaks softly, "Hello Director Xu, my name is Xu Yingying, and I am here to take over the role of Lin Xia. Sister Lin Xia was not sensible before, please forgive me, Director Xu."
"You are more sensible than her." She is also thoughtful.
How many years in a high position will you be able to see through Xu Yingying’s tricks? It's just a pull and a step.
A common trick in the entertainment industry.
"On the crew, the only thing you need to do is to film well. Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask, and don't touch things that you shouldn't."
Xu Yingying's eyes moved slightly, and she said calmly, "I understand, Director Xu, don't worry, I am not a troublemaker; nor am I a talkative person. Once I join the crew, I am a member of the crew. Only if the crew is good can I be good."
"She is a sensible person, take her to settle her down." Director Xu said, Sister Chu thanked her happily and led Xu Yingying away.
Xu Yingying walked a few steps and glanced at the people who were filming; her eyes fell on Minghua, who was dressed in ancient costume, elegant and elegant.
The person next to her didn't keep up. Sister Chu noticed it immediately and turned around and said to her: "Follow up."
"Yes." Xu Yingying looked away and walked a long distance away from Sister Chu. Only when no one was around did she ask, "Sister Chu, who is the woman in the starring group?"
Sister Chu stopped, turned her head and stared at her deeply, warning: "She is Xiao Minghua, she has a good background, Director Xu takes care of three people; don't provoke her, let alone try to steal the limelight, Director Xu's eyes It’s pointed.”
If you are a smart person, just act honestly.
"I don't have any other thoughts, but that woman's temperament is really good; don't talk about me, your sister Yu is not even three points. If you go to Hong Kong Island, you will have to have many fast-rising big stars."
She had a deep meaning, and Sister Chu understood, "That's not someone we can touch."
"All right."
Xu Yingying gathered her thoughts. Sister Chu repeatedly emphasized that she would not move anyone who could not be moved. She also wanted the role of He Xiangu. She was not convinced when she originally tried to get the role but was told that it had been pre-determined.
If you are not convinced, you can only think about it in your heart.
Reality is stronger than people.
"Don't be like that idiot Lin Xia, she's cool." The actors who are not wanted by Director Xu's crew are basically in a semi-banned state; whether to be banned or not is just a word from the company.
"I understand, Sister Chu, I promise to be obedient."
After the two left, the filming continued; Xiao Chen called Xu Mingzhan and told him what he wanted to buy. Xu Mingzhan delivered the things that afternoon.
The crew implemented closed shooting, and in the following year, two veteran directors Xu Long and Qu Yang provided personal guidance; Minghua's acting skills improved significantly, and she was able to compete with the three veteran actors in their early fifties who were on the crew.
These three have been acting for decades, and their acting is natural; if awards were given out in this era, these three would be the best actors.
A year has passed. In addition to returning to school once a month and taking final exams, Tian Shao has been on the set the rest of the time. During monthly assessments, Tian Shao can see Minghua's progress, which is faster than in school. Somehow, in her eyes, this apprentice's acting skills are completely up to par.
School is a waste of time.
After becoming a master, the extent to which one grows depends entirely on one's own destiny.
After the filming was over, Xu Mingzhan came to pick him up in person and sent him to the school gate; Xiao Chen wanted to go back to report, so he had to part ways at the school gate.
Minghua did not go back to the dormitory immediately, but came to the teacher's apartment of her master Tian Shao.
"Knock knock knock."
"The door is unlocked. Push the door and come in." A familiar gentle and slightly aged voice came. Minghua pushed the door open and said, "Master, I'm back."
Tian Shao was watching TV. Hearing this, he turned to look at her and asked, "How many days will you stay here this time?"
"I won't leave for now, the drama is finished." He put his luggage by the door, sat down next to the master, and glanced at the TV; a Hong Kong gunfight movie was playing on the black and white TV, "Master, do you still watch this kind of movie?" A TV series?"
"I have nothing to do to kill time." After speaking softly, he asked her again, "My teaching assistant has been out of duty for a year. I wonder when you can continue to take office?"
Minghua chuckled lightly, stretched out his hand to hold her arm affectionately, "Master, I just came back. Don't you care about the drama I'm filming? Is it popular? How is the salary? Do you think I've lost weight?" ?”
Tian Shao had a headache after hearing the endless chatter. He glanced at her and said angrily: "I see that you are not losing weight, but are getting fatter. The food of your crew is good."
Minghua: "......"
My master is right.
"Can't you feel sorry for me?"
"I feel sorry for you? Who will feel sorry for me?" He said angrily: "You go away for a year, come back once in a while, and leave after completing the assessment of your homework; there are so many things in the class, but fortunately there are Qu Yan and other class cadres, what is the use of accepting you as a disciple? No, those who are purely collecting debts have endless worries for the teacher."
Minghua smiled sarcastically, "Master, I was wrong; you see, my apprentice hasn't eaten since morning. It's noon now. Can you enjoy the meal?"
"It's reasonable to just eat. Come on, there's still some leftover food in the kitchen. You can warm it up and eat it yourself."
