I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 207: The turbulent struggle and the expectations of the old actors (asking for monthly tickets)

After worshiping Mazu, Jinli looked more energetic and vigorous.

Gu Cheng originally planned to scan the shared bicycles nearby and take Jinli back. He felt that they had walked a long way.

But Jinli waved her hand and said cheerfully: "No, the sea breeze is so comfortable, let's walk back along the coast!"

Gu Cheng looked at Jinli for a few seconds, and finally paused at her smiling face, and compromised:
"How about this, I'll scan a shared bike and push it. If we get tired halfway, we can ride back."

Jinli nodded: "Okay."

The two of them walked back again. Fine sand occasionally seeped into the gaps in their shoes, making their feet itchy, so Jinli simply took off her shoes.

Her white feet stepped on the beach, alternating deep and shallow steps. She also stepped specifically on places where the waves could reach her. The sand here was the softest and finest, and would not stick to her feet. Occasionally, the waves would hit her calves.

Gu Cheng followed behind her and noticed that her calves were hit by the waves, which were brighter than the crystal clear light caused by the sunlight shining on the sea surface. His eyes couldn't help but darken.

He took a few more steps forward and walked side by side with Jinli, deliberately walking on the innermost side to prevent her from going too deep inside.

The poor shared bicycles had not yet fulfilled their purpose before they were soaked in the sea water again and again.

However, the quality of shared bicycles is so good these days that there is no place they cannot go.

After returning to the crew, the two of them had a box lunch and headed towards the hotel.

Gu Cheng lived in Jinli's hotel and, as usual, booked a presidential suite. He was Jinli's neighbor.

The two agreed to do the questions together later.

After Gu Cheng had packed up, he opened the door and walked towards Jinli, only to find Ren Changtao knocking on the door outside the corridor.

The two looked at each other, and it seemed as if they could see the threatening sparks in their eyes.

Jinli opened the door and was a little stunned: "Ren Changtao? Are you here——"

Ren Changtao said with a playful smile: "I came here to ask you what you like to eat. I am holding a small wrap-up banquet tomorrow and I am collecting menus."

People are already at the door, it would be bad to not let them in, not to mention that Gu Cheng is also here.

Jinli let them come in and sit down first, then opened the door directly, without worrying about being photographed.

After pouring a glass of water for each of them, Jinli said, "I don't have any dietary restrictions. I can eat anything. This place is close to the sea, so it's great to eat seafood. I heard that the crab roe is very delicious recently, so I can just order a few sea crabs."

Speaking of eating crabs, the hairy crabs from Chengyang Lake are also very famous, but these are river crabs, which are different from sea crabs and have their own flavors.

Some people don't eat river crabs, shrimps, or fish because they think they have an earthy smell, which is not found in the sea.

It’s just that the oceans today may not be very safe.

Ren Changtao picked up his phone and wrote it down, then looked at Gu Cheng and asked him what he wanted to eat.

Gu Cheng followed suit: "Since Jinli eats crabs, then I'll eat shrimps. I'll have some lobsters."

Jinli couldn't help but chuckle, "You're not polite at all!"

Gu Cheng also smiled: "I believe that Mr. Ren will not think that I am too polite."

The two of them were talking very familiarly, without any awkwardness at all, just like old friends who had known each other for a long time, which made Ren Changtao feel a little upset.

Ren Changtao smiled and said, "Yes, you're welcome. We are close to the sea and seafood is cheap. We should eat according to local conditions."

After checking the menu, Ren Changtao didn't move, wanting to stay and chat with Jinli.

They are in the same crew and can find topics to talk about whenever they want.

As soon as Ren Changtao said the word "I", he was covered by Gu Cheng's voice, "Jinli, which subject do you want to do today?"

Jinli searched her bag and randomly pulled out a Mathematics 5-3 book.

“Do the math.”

Gu Cheng glanced at the title and saw that it was a workbook for the first semester of the second year of high school. He said, "Before you start, I'll give you a random math problem. How about you do it?"

Jinli said generously: "Okay, I'll challenge you and see what kind of difficult questions you want to ask."

Gu Cheng smiled and said, "It's very simple. Just do it as a practice. The question is, what is the intercept and slope of the line 2x+3y+5=0 on the y-axis?"

Jinli's mental arithmetic has never been very good, so she took out a piece of scratch paper and quickly wrote down the numbers.

solution

Let x = 0, then 3y + 5 = 0
∴y=-5/3
∴The intercept is -5/3
Ren Changtao stretched his neck and took a look. He could understand some of it, but this part of the knowledge was already very vague.

After calculating the intercept, Jinli quickly calculated the slope.

2x+3y+5=0
3y=-2x-5
y=-2/3x-5/3
∴The slope is: -2/3
She handed over the draft paper and said, "Please check if the steps are correct."

Gu Cheng took it and just glanced at the answer before saying, "Yes, you have mastered this part of the knowledge very well. You can start learning the content of the next unit."

Jinli had a dimple on both sides of her cheeks, and she was in a very good mood: "I'll do the final exam for this unit first. If the score is good, I'll start learning the content of the next unit tomorrow."

The worst thing about learning is to gain nothing.

It feels really great to be learning and making steady progress at the same time.

As many pages as she turned, Gu Cheng also turned the same page. The two of them had a tacit understanding and immediately lowered their heads to do the questions after turning the page.

Ren Changtao sat aside, opening and closing his mouth, but couldn't find any words to say.

It’s impossible for him to learn to do the questions like them!
It is very impolite to interrupt others when they are doing their homework.

He also didn't want Jinli to think he was rude.

Ren Changtao left silently.

When leaving, I deliberately opened the door wider so that I could see Gu Cheng and Jinli just by standing in the corridor.

"Although I know you're very happy after finishing the filming, the wrap party is tomorrow. Why are you coming to drink with me tonight?"

Ren Changtao went to Deng Zexu's place, started drinking without saying a word, and was in a depressed mood.

Deng Zexu: "It's okay if you're drunk, but I still have to film tomorrow!"

Ren Changtao was silent for a while before he said, "I just feel that..."

He muttered, "Have I accomplished so little?"

Deng Zexu: "What do you mean?"

Ren Changtao sighed and took another sip of beer: "No, I just feel like I have no career at all. No wonder no good girl would fall in love with me."

Deng Zexu blurted out: "Being able to rely on one's father is also a kind of ability. Don't underestimate yourself. There are many people who want to rely on their parents but can't."

Ren Changtao: "I feel like you are scolding me."

Deng Zexu laughed: "I'm praising you, believe me, I'm sincere."

He changed the subject and said, "You feel a lot of pressure after seeing Gu Cheng?
I'm not saying that there's anything comparable between you and Gu Cheng. Among so many idol groups in the domestic entertainment industry, there's only one Marchday.

You are a newcomer in the entertainment industry. Comparing yourself with the top idol artists, aren't you overestimating yourself?"

Ren Changtao thought about it and took another sip of wine: "What you said makes sense."

Deng Zexu glanced at him and said, "But you still don't understand. What's the point of drinking now? The key is to find the target and then overtake it."

Ren Changtao was puzzled: "Do I have to learn to do the questions like Gu Cheng? No, I just gave it all back to the teacher."

Deng Zexu said angrily: "Jinli is an actress, it would be great if you could achieve something in acting, you idiot!"...

That night, there was a strong wind on the sea, and huge waves came to the shore.

Fishermen on the coast are all worried about whether there will be a typhoon. Even if the weather forecast says that it will be calm recently, the weather at sea can change suddenly and is unpredictable.

Gu Cheng stayed in the crew for another morning, watching the veteran actors filming their murder scenes, one scene after another, it was so dazzling that his eyes could hardly keep up.

Director Deng was also too busy, so he temporarily recruited Gu Cheng to be his assistant and carry things for him. Gu Cheng helped diligently without any idol airs at all.

The veteran actors watched and nodded secretly.

These old-school people believe in being down-to-earth and taking one step at a time, and naturally they are respected and loved by the audience.

I don’t dislike those young people who become famous for no apparent reason, but I don’t like them either.

If young people are arrogant because of their talent and fame, veteran actors won't say a word to them.

In Gu Cheng, they could feel that this young man was truly hardworking and studious. He ran around the crew and was not angry at being used as a handyman by the director.

With the right attitude, veteran actors are also willing to impart some acting skills.

They are old, and it is useless to stick to their own ways. It would be better for them to train more young people for the Film and Television Association.

This is no longer the era where we have to hide good things inside.

Some people want to pass on their knowledge and experience, but there may not be anyone willing to learn.

Jinli had no scenes in the morning, so she stayed in the crew, watching Gu Cheng running around, and also watching the performances of the veteran actors.

She is an actress and has an important scene in the afternoon, so the director doesn't dare to direct her.

After finishing the work, the group gathered at a nearby restaurant for lunch and held a wrap-up party for Ren Changtao.

The meal was ordinary, nothing happened, the atmosphere was harmonious, and an old actor even mentioned Gu Cheng specifically.

"If there's anything you don't know, you can call me."

"Haha, Xiao Gu doesn't even know how to act, but Lao Pang can't wait to snatch him away!" an old actor joked.

The person who was replaced by "Lao Pang" said with a smile: "Xiao Gu came to visit the set specially and liked to watch us perform. He must have intended to join the show. I am training talents for the Film Association in advance."

Another veteran actor also said: "Xiao Gu has a good image and bright eyes. He can play both good and bad roles. It's a pity that he doesn't act anymore."

Gu Cheng asked curiously: "In fact, people always asked me to film before, but I was not very interested in filming youth films like the school idol. Do you think this kind of film is good?"

I originally thought that veteran actors would object to this type of film, after all, it has no depth or plot and relies entirely on looks.

But the veteran actors all agreed, saying, "Why not shoot when you are still young and beautiful?"

"When I was young, I also loved watching movies starring handsome men and beautiful women."

“Take more photos while you can, don’t always think about going deep. When you are older and can’t rely on your youth anymore, you can make the transition.

Some actors nowadays rely on their youth when they are young, and they want to rely on their youth when they are older, and wrinkles appear on their faces. Why do they do this? "

Ren Changtao then said: "Seniors, can I also act in this kind of film?"

The veteran actor made a vague comment: "You can act if you want."

Ren Changtao is also very handsome, but he has an evil nature, which makes him suitable for playing roles that are both good and evil.

This is the first impression that temperament brings to people, and it is difficult to change.

If he gets the right role, he will do very well.

But if I encounter a role that doesn’t suit me, I’m afraid I won’t be able to perform it well.

Not every actor has the ability to be versatile in the field of acting, unless the strength of acting skills can overwhelm the temperament emanating from the actor's bones.

But it is obvious that Ren Changtao does not have this ability at the moment.

Compared with Gu Cheng, he had already lost at the starting line in terms of appearance.
-
After Jinli sent Gu Cheng off, she immediately returned to the crew to film.

The scene she filmed in the afternoon was a beach scene, which will appear as a memory in the movie.

The endless sea surface was hit by surging waves, and Vera, played by Jinli, was struggling violently on the sea.

She wanted to swim in, but the waves on the beach pushed her further and further away.

However, her excellent swimming skills allowed her to swim to the little boy. The little boy stretched out his hand to her, and Vera was about to extend her hand.

At the critical moment, she suddenly stopped and withdrew her hand.

She let the waves push her farther and farther away, until the distance between her and the little boy grew so great that she sank to the bottom of the sea.

She calculated the time accurately and knew that someone had already swam over.

Finally, Vera was rescued and sat on the shore wrapped in a blanket, looking at the dead little boy with tears on her face.

This is a scene in the movie, but when it comes to real shooting, it is very easy to be disturbed by the uncertain sea breeze.

Jinli is an excellent swimmer and can perform many difficult water movements, but the little boy hired by the crew was a little timid and couldn't let go in the water.

Because of the boy, the filming was suspended for a while, and Jinli soaked in the sea for at least three hours.

While she was waiting on the shore, Chen Qin came over with several hot water bottles and whispered:

"The director and the crew were trying to persuade the boy. He said he was found in a swimming team and was a very good swimmer. He never thought he would be so scared after seeing the rough sea."

Jinli applied a hot water bottle to her armpits, trying to keep herself warm.

"This is normal. I used to swim in a swimming pool, which is nothing compared to the endless sea."

She spoke with a trembling voice and her face looked pale, which made Chen Qin feel distressed.

When Sister Fang was training her, she repeatedly said that Jinli was in poor health and that she should be taken good care of in the crew.

Chen Qin hesitated and wanted to say something, but suddenly a male voice came: "Your face is too pale. If the little boy hasn't adjusted yet, it will be useless to continue filming. I'll go tell the director to let you rest first."

Jinli looked up and saw that it was Ren Changtao, and was a little surprised.

"Didn't you finish filming? Why are you still on the set?"

Ren Changtao replied: "I don't have anything to do outside anyway, so I just want to stay in the crew first to see if there is anything I can do to help."

He turned and was about to leave: "I'll tell the director now."

Jinli stopped him immediately, "No need, wait a moment, we've been shooting for so long, the young actor also wants to shoot well, give him some more time."

Ren Changtao looked at her with some concern: "But your health?"

Jinli smiled, her clear eyes revealing a warmth: "Don't worry, I can hold on, I believe that the little boy will be able to take good pictures next time."

As for why I believe it.

That can naturally be seen through facial features.

Only one step away from success, Jinli didn't want to put it off until tomorrow.
