Rebirth of the entertainment industry and the return of the queen

Chapter 984 Ambition
"Me?" Chu Chen was surprised.

"Yeah," said the assistant director, "you don't have any lines, just sway over there and show your face a few times, your figure is just right." He said while stuffing a costume into his hand, and another Put the change, "This is your tip for delivering food, don't go back today, when we finish our work here, there will be extra money for you."

Chu Chen looked down at the change in his hand and said, "Okay."

For money, he is willing to do anything. From the day when the accident happened at home, he vowed to support the family again. One day, he would no longer have to go around begging and being looked down upon by others, and he would no longer have to sell his property and suffer from hunger.

He worked hard to play this popular role well.

The wind and snow were too strong, and everyone was too cold to stand it. Only Chu Chen sprinted when he said to sprint, and fell down when he said to lie down, without hesitation.Lying motionless in the icy snow for several minutes pretending to be a dead body, someone stepped on him, and he controlled himself not to change even the slightest expression.

At the end of the day, my limbs were frostbitten.

The assistant director took the medicine and handed it to him together with the money: "Good job young man, will you come back tomorrow?"

Chu Chen looked down at a bright red hundred-yuan bill in his hand, without hesitation: "Come on!"

He followed the crew for a full week and earned [-] yuan.

With the money, he ran all over the city's shopping malls and bought a wheelchair for his mother.When he carefully sat on his mother with his arms in his arms and pushed her outside for a walk in the sun, she grabbed his hand and cried.

"Son, I'm sorry for you..." The disabled woman broke down in tears.

Chu Chen knelt down and wiped away her tears bit by bit.He still remembers that when he did not drop out of school, the teacher often said that when God closes a door for people, he will open a window elsewhere—he is also consoling his mother in this way now, but he never expected that what God opened for him is What a rugged, yet magnificent window.

The extra experience that time made Chu Chen realize that making money in this business is much faster than washing dishes in restaurants.

He quit his job in a restaurant and found a place among the many extras in the suburban film and television city.The film and television city was far away from his home, and he would often go out before dawn, crossing half of the city to look for opportunities there.After finishing work, it took another three or four hours to rush home to boil water, cook for my mother, and wash her feet.

Occasionally looking in the mirror, he no longer recognizes himself in the mirror.

Compared with the photos of my school days, those carefree years seem like a lifetime away.

His mother loved him very much, and she always cried secretly by herself, thinking that he hadn't found out.Little did they know, those wet pillow covers and red and swollen eye circles had already betrayed her.Her tears made Chu Chen feel sad and guilty.

If he was more useful and stronger, she wouldn't have to be so sad.

Chu Chen works, observes, and studies in the film and television city from dawn to dusk.He is not willing to be an extra for the rest of his life, and he is determined to learn more and climb higher, so that one day his mother will live a prosperous life and his father will be avenged.He wants to trample all the people who trampled on their house one by one!

Opportunity awaits those who are prepared.

That time, he followed a martial arts film crew. The crew used a small field reporter who had just graduated from college. He had a major background and no experience.The director also became popular, and he scolded Xiaochangji, Xiaochangji cried, and said on the spot that he would stop doing it, and left with his sleeves.The director jumped in anger, but there was nothing he could do.

Chu Chen watched the excitement from the sidelines for a while, and walked out in front of the director: "Let me try it."

The director looked at him suspiciously: "You?"

Chu Chen reported some data to him, all of which were mistakes made by Xiaochang just now, which scene should be connected with which props, which one of which episode can be eliminated, and which one needs to be re-shot... everything is clear clearly.

The director's eyes lit up, and he was very surprised: "You are an extra, you still pay attention to these?"

Success or failure depends on one move. Chu Chen looked straight into his eyes, tried hard to hide the trembling in his voice due to excitement and nervousness, and told the director: "I don't want to be an extra for the rest of my life."

The director looked at him deeply and smiled: "Okay, I'll give you a chance."

This opportunity is not easy to do. Compared with extras, it is much more difficult and stressful.Chu Chen gritted his teeth and resisted. He was busy until late at night every day, the last one to finish work, and the first one to go to work the next day. He often got up in a hurry after only sleeping for two or three hours and continued to work. drink.

Fortunately, all the hard work was worth it.

When the film was finished, the director patted him on the shoulder: "Young man is not bad, follow me from now on."

Chu Chen was ecstatic.

It's just that he couldn't take care of his family when he was filming with the crew all over the world. After much consideration and discussion with his mother, he decided to sell the family house, sublet a small house, and use the remaining money to hire part-time workers to take care of her.On the day he sold the house, he was carrying big bags and pushing his mother's wheelchair, and turned his head to take a last look at the place where he was born and raised.He secretly swore in his heart that one day, he would buy this place back, one day.

He has been a scene recorder for more than two years. He is clever and hard-working, which is appreciated by the director.

The director intends to cultivate him and takes him with him wherever he goes.

Gradually, he also became famous.

The director took over a movie about the Emperor, a key project with a huge investment.In the middle of the filming, something unexpected happened—the heroine suddenly announced her withdrawal, and would rather pay a high liquidated damages than continue filming, no matter how much coercion and lure the director and producer did.The production crew was in turmoil. If the heroine was replaced, it would mean that most of the shots taken before would be discarded and they would have to do it all over again.

In this way, they will not be able to catch up with the golden schedule of the second year and the awards.

Chatting during the break, the director smiled wryly: "It's not our fault, the emperor's infighting brought disaster to Chi Yu."

Chu Chen instinctively caught something and pestered him to ask for details.

The director told him that the old and new powers of Emperor Pei's family were changing, and the head of the family was seriously ill. The heir, Pei Ziheng, was ordered to take over Emperor Entertainment in an emergency and prepare for the official succession in the near future.However, Pei Ziheng is still young, and some of the meritorious ministers and brothers of the same family are not convinced, and they secretly make troubles, which makes his succession road full of dangers.

Once such a big production loses money, the veterans can question Pei Ziheng's ability, and then launch an attack.

Chu Chen found information and checked this person.

He is very young, barely 16 years old, but he has done several major events that have shocked the business world. His methods are tyrannical, and he is more decisive and ruthless than many adults.Looking at his press conferences and graphic interviews, it can be seen that he has a mature demeanor, a fledgling with an imperial demeanor, deep thoughts, indiscriminate emotions, and unpredictable eyes.
