You've passed the college entrance examination, but can't you make it in the entertainment

It would be more accurate to say that it was a script reading where the actors got together to perform a specific scenario for Peng Yiwei. The so-called "script" was thinner than toilet paper.

The 'script' had no context, no character introduction, not even the names of the characters. All that was written on it were the actors' real names. No one knew what Peng Yiwei was guarding against.

After reading for a few days, the only information Le Yan knew was that the character he was going to play had a wife, and that the role was played by Ding Rui, one of the four little flowers together with Bi Xia.

This young actress once helped Le Yan to canvass votes when he participated in the live broadcast of the "Sing Your Song" finals, so the two are not completely strangers.

Apart from the fact that he and Ding Rui were husband and wife in the play, Le Yan had no idea about the relationship between his character and the other actors around him, and he was not in the mood to care about the relationship between the characters. The reading session was simply a large-scale "social death scene" for him!

Here are a few examples for you to explore together.

Scenario 1:

Le Yan hid behind the kitchen curtains and watched Ding Rui leave the yard. His eyes moved back and forth between Ding Rui's beautiful long skirt, expensive handbag and smooth neck.

He began to doubt whether the explanation Ding Rui gave him last night was true. Was she really going back to her parents' home?
"This bitch!" Le Yan pulled the curtains shut with force.

Scenario two:
Le Yan pressed the doorbell a few times, and when no one opened the door, he began to bang on it frantically:

You are in it!

You must be in there!

Is she being held down by some wild man so she can't open the door?

I'm going to strangle you!
Suddenly, Ding Rui appeared behind Le Yan and asked curiously:
Aren't you at work? Why are you here?
Le Yan turned around in panic and leaned against the door. He tidied up his messy hair from slamming the door hard and lied:

I was on business and happened to pass by here.

Le Yan's hands were still tightly gripping the door handle, his knuckles turning white from the excessive force. At this moment, he was completely crazy inside, and kept telling himself:
I'll definitely catch you next time!
"Le Yan and Ding Rui were hugging each other on the sofa watching TV. Ding Rui glanced at the time and said to Le Yan, 'Honey, I'm going to take a shower first.'" Peng Yiwei read aloud with emotion and pointed at Le Yan. "Le Yan smiled and said 'OK honey.' As soon as Ding Rui entered the bathroom, Le Yan jumped up and looked through Ding Rui's handbag, then her clothes pockets, and even her underwear."

Peng Yiwei put the script behind him with satisfaction and made a gesture of invitation to Le Yan and Ding Rui:
"Le Yan, remember that even if you are neurotic and crazy, you must have logic in your heart."

Under the gaze of more than a dozen actors, Le Yan slowly looked at the schoolbag, clothes, and underwear that the prop teacher had placed on the table in advance.
If the name on the script was the character's name, Le Yan would feel better, but looking at the "Le Yan" on the script every day and listening to Peng Yiwei reading "Le Yan" aloud, he felt so abnormal and uncomfortable.

At lunch that day, Le Yan poked at the food in his lunch box and asked Deng Xuefeng beside him in a depressed tone:

"How many more days will we have to study?"

How many days will it take for my hard times to end?
Deng Xuefeng got a supporting role this time. The reading session was mainly about listening and watching, supplemented by acting, so these few days, he had plenty of time to observe Le Yan's performance.

Because of Peng Yiwei's weird personality, Deng Xuefeng was unable to help Le Yan with any character sorting and preparation before joining the crew, so he watched the show extra carefully over the past few days.

Through observation, Deng Xuefeng found that there was nothing wrong with Le Yan's acting skills, but his emotions and state were not right. In the past, Le Yan was very active when eating, and he could show off two lunch boxes from the crew. These days, he couldn't even finish one meal.

Look at him now, the vegetable leaves have been smashed by him, but he still doesn’t put them into his mouth.

When did Le Yan ever act like this?
Is it that the crew’s boxed lunches are not to your taste?
Seeing that Deng Xuefeng didn't speak for a long time, Le Yan nudged him with his elbow and asked aggrievedly:

"How many more days will it take to read?"

Deng Xuefeng came back to his senses and shook his head:

"do not know."

No one can tell what Peng Yiwei is up to.

It is said that the training will first last for half a month, but if it does not meet his expectations, Peng Yiwei may really postpone the start date of shooting indefinitely.

Le Yan completely gave up and put down his chopsticks:

"I'm going out to look for Sister Man. I'm going to act with her this afternoon."

Ge Man's food on the crew is taken care of by a special person in the team. She does not eat boxed lunches with them. There is a RV of hers outside the door, where she stays during her breaks.

Deng Xuefeng hid in the darkness and watched Le Yan step into the RV. His eyes moved back and forth between Le Yan's sweat-soaked back, his heavy footsteps, and the scorching sun above his head.

He began to doubt whether Le Yan's excuse was true. Was he just looking for Ge Man to act with?

"Can't bear the hardship anymore?" Deng Xuefeng frowned and closed the lunch box lid tightly.

At the reading session in the afternoon, Le Yan finally got rid of his perverted personality temporarily.

This plot tells the story of the intersection between Le Yan and Ge Man around work. Just looking at this scene, there is nothing wrong with Le Yan's character - enthusiastic, responsible, and with a little pursuit of perfection.

The character has become more prominent, and Le Yan no longer feels burdened in his performance.

I was in the mood to joke around when acting with Ge Man, and I was smiling the whole afternoon.

This cheerful atmosphere also boosted Ge Man's mood. After finishing the day's work, she took the initiative to invite Le Yan to dinner:

"Let's go to a good restaurant in the city to eat tonight, and Xuefeng can come with us."

Bi Xia encountered some minor troubles in her career. Ge Man wanted to take this opportunity to invite Le Yan, who was of the same age as her, and Deng Xuefeng, who had been a teacher for many years, to help her with advice.

"Okay, let's go, let's go." Le Yan rolled up his sleeves and was about to leave.

But Deng Xuefeng said with a sullen face:
"I'm not going."

"Let's go together." Ge Man advised kindly.

Deng Xuefeng looked at Le Yan and said firmly:
"I have something I want to talk to Le Yan about tonight."

"We can talk on the way. It won't delay us." Le Yan also joined Ge Man's camp and tried to persuade Deng Xuefeng together.

Old Deng, I finally became a human this afternoon. I don’t know when I will be a human next time.

I advise you not to disturb my fun and come out with me to celebrate.

Deng Xuefeng still shook his head stubbornly.

Le Yan sighed and pulled Ge Man into the RV:
"Come on, let's go."

Ge Man made one last effort, but when it failed he left shaking his head.

Deng Xuefeng stood with his hands behind his back and watched Le Yan step into the RV again. This time, Le Yan's back looked happy, excited and impatient.

About a minute later, Deng Xuefeng, under repeated urging, got on the mini bus prepared by the crew to return to the hotel.

That night.

At the door of Peng Yiwei's room.

"Come in and tell me what you want."

Peng Yiwei was busy. After opening the door for Deng Xuefeng, he went in without looking back.

"I want to take two days off." Deng Xuefeng stood at the door and said expressionlessly, with no intention of going in.

Peng Yiwei had already walked back to the room. Upon hearing this, he turned around and walked back, asking with concern:

"you are sick?"

Deng Xuefeng stood with his hands behind his back and said straight:

"No."

Peng Yiwei asked sharply, "Why are you asking for leave if you are not sick? No one can ask for leave during the script reading!"

Deng Xuefeng's eyebrows immediately turned cold:

"There will be no plot for me for the next two days."

"You can't leave then. You know, every character and every plot may change based on the results of the study. Maybe it's not you who's going to play the role today, but it's very likely that this plot will happen to you after filming starts."

Peng Yiwei wondered, he had maintained this habit for decades, how could Deng Xuefeng not know about it?
Are you suddenly rebellious against him?
Deng Xuefeng's voice became several octaves colder:
"I have to be gone for two days."

Don't be shameless
Which other director would do so many weird things before filming?
"If you leave for two days and other actors find out, wouldn't that be a slap in my face?" Peng Yiwei jumped half a meter high in anxiety.

Seeing Deng Xuefeng glaring, Peng Yiwei slammed the door shut:
"No way you're asking for leave!"

Deng Xuefeng knocked on the door twice. Seeing Peng Yiwei pretending to be dead, he couldn't control his anger and started banging the door like crazy:

"Open the door!"

"I'm going to be away for two days. This isn't to ask for your opinion, it's to inform you!"

"Whether you agree or not is none of my business!"

"I'll count to three. If you don't open the door, you will suffer the consequences. 3--"

Suddenly, Peng Yiwei opened the door, panting, and loudly asked:
"In my crew, no one dares to miss the reading. No one! Believe it or not, I ...

Peng Yiwei kept saying "I" for a long time without uttering a harsh word.

Deng Xuefeng turned around, leaving Peng Yiwei with a cold back view. He lowered his head and straightened his clothes which were a little wrinkled from slamming the door hard.

"Do you think I want to come? If you hadn't begged me--"

Peng Yiwei rushed over and covered Deng Xuefeng's mouth:
"Okay, okay, two days, just two days!"

I must have owed you in my fucking past life!
The shooting is about to start, and it is impossible to change the role at the last minute.

Peng Yiwei had no idea whether he would be slapped in the face tomorrow, but everyone living on this floor was from the crew. If someone heard that "he asked Deng Xuefeng to come here", he would really lose face!
Deng Xuefeng, who had his mouth covered, clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white from the excessive force. At this moment, he was completely crazy and kept saying to himself:
My comeback and everything I have now are all because of LeYan
Le Yan is the most important!
The next morning.

No one cared why Deng Xuefeng didn't come, and no one thought that Deng Xuefeng's absence was a slap in the face to Peng Yiwei.

Who doesn't know the relationship between these two brothers?

How could Peng Yiwei possibly subdue Deng Xuefeng?
It can be said that no one in this world can subdue Deng Xuefeng!

When he was a teacher, he was arrogant and conceited. He ordered his students around and never cared about their feelings. He had a bad reputation.

When he was an actor, he was also famous in the circle for being "eccentric" and "self-centered".

After his comeback this time, although Deng Xuefeng's personality has become much more restrained and easy-going, the temperament of "I am the best, no one can mess with me, and I will deal with anyone who messes with me" is still there in his every move.

Even a dog will always eat shit, so can Deng Xuefeng change his decades-old character?
The answer is definitely no!

In addition, Deng Xuefeng only had ability but no fame before, but after winning the Best Actor Award, he is now both famous and powerful, and his recent popularity is even more dazzling than Ge Man.

Not to mention that Deng Xuefeng only took two days off, even if he missed all the arrangements before filming, no one would find it incomprehensible.

Can't be bothered, can't be bothered.

If you don’t want to come, then don’t come. We will just pretend we didn’t see it!

The first day after Deng Xuefeng left, the crew spent the whole day peacefully, no one mentioned it or asked about it.

The day after Deng Xuefeng left, everyone continued to read the script as usual and watch Le Yan play the role of a pervert, but something happened during lunch break.

"Which artist's RV is blocking the door? Please move aside, we need to bring in lunch boxes!"

During the lunch break, the teacher in charge of life shouted at the door of the actors' lounge.

Only the actors in the crew were equipped with RVs, and he guessed that the real owner must be here.

Hearing this, several actors including Ge Man stood up and walked out. These people were all from the RV crew.

It is normal for actors to rent RVs when filming a movie. The crew will even include this clause in the contract when signing contracts with important actors.

Even if the crew does not provide actors with RVs, many actors will choose to pay for one out of their own pockets.

The RV has air conditioning, a toilet, a kitchen and a bed. Isn't it more comfortable than lying in the lounge?

Le Yan didn't run away because he didn't have an RV.

When filming "Charlotte's Troubles", Su Tian wanted to arrange a motorhome for him. Le Yan was afraid that the entire crew would keep making a fuss about his status as a shareholder, so he lowered his status and rode a bicycle to and from get off work, fearing that it would cause trouble for everyone.

But after that experience, he fell in love with cycling and no longer thought about RVs.

Recently, he occasionally rides a bike to work. If the weather is bad, he and Deng Xuefeng take the minibus arranged by the crew to and from the hotel.

"Hurry up and serve the meal." Le Yan looked outside the door and yawned.

Ge Man and others were all stunned when they arrived at the door.

This RV is not theirs and has never been seen near the crew.

The RVs that the crew rented for the actors were Type C RVs, and the RVs that the actors paid for out of their own pockets were mostly Type C and Type B, because these two types of RVs are cheap.

But what they saw in front of them at this moment was a light truck off-road RV.

The wheels of the RV are several times larger than theirs. An actor who knows the market said that the price of this RV is more than four or five times that of theirs.

"This car doesn't belong to our crew." After confirming with several actors around him, Ge Man said to the Life Producer.

"Isn't it from our crew? Then why are they stuck here and won't move?" The Life Producer immediately got angry. If the RV wasn't moved away, the lunch boxes ordered by the crew couldn't be moved in.

He climbed into the cab and looked inside through the window, but he couldn't see anything because the window was blocked by the sunshade.

I knocked on the door again, but there was no response.

No one in the car?

The noise here reached Peng Yiwei's ears.

Peng Yiwei was so angry that he didn't care about anything else and banged on the door with all his might:

"Is there anyone there? Open the door! If you have the guts to block someone's door, open the door! Don't be so shameless! Move away! Move away now!"

"I'll count to three. If you don't open the door, you will bear the consequences. 3--" Peng Yiwei counted down loudly.

2 Before he could shout out, a staircase automatically lowered from the rear of the RV, and then the door opened.

Deng Xuefeng's hawk-like eyes scanned the people around him, as if he was looking at dead people:

"I keep yelling 'wait a minute', can't you hear me?"

Why do you want to be scolded when you can't just talk nicely? (End of this chapter)
