Chapter 240: The Last Starring Role

Night falls, Hung Hom Sports Centre.

There will be a star-studded concert here tonight, and the stars, musicians, and backup dancers are making final preparations before going on stage.

Needless to say, everyone has an exclusive lounge, and makeup artists, stylists, and even directors and planners revolve around them.

Even the musicians have a comprehensive lounge.

The hardest thing is the backup dancers, because the space is really limited, they can only squat in a corridor backstage, the makeup artist is like an assembly line job, they finish their makeup in turn, and then they don't pay attention to it, from time to time there are staff walking through the corridor, no one looks at them at all, and some people even think they are in the way.

A dancer dressed like a clown in a colorful dance costume with eye shadow and gold on his face, but he was not stuck in the crowd, sitting alone on the threshold at the end of the corridor that connects to the outside, looking at the brightly lit night scene of Hung Hom not far away, stunned.

"Xiaochun, it's time to eat. ”

A voice came from behind, and it was another dancer walking over, still holding three boxes of lunch boxes.

The person he called Xiaochun was Chen Xiaochun, who Li Yadong was looking for.

"Why did you get three boxes of lunches?" Chen Xiaochun took the box of lunches he handed over and asked in surprise.

"I didn't take it, it was given by Zhang Guorong, I didn't dance with him before, he actually remembered me, I passed by the door of his room just now, his assistant seemed to have bought food, and he didn't eat the food sent by the director team, so he stuffed it to me. ”

"Oh. Chen Xiaochun understood.

"Come, let's divide the food. ”

The lunch box was opened, and inside were braised chicken thighs, barbecued pork, braised fish pieces, and two vegetarian dishes, three meat and two vegetarian dishes.

Chen Xiaochun subconsciously opened the lunch box in his hand, garlic cabbage, stir-fried cucumbers, and a pair of pitifully small braised chicken tips.

"Alas......" he couldn't help but sigh, this is the gap.

"Okay, let's eat quickly, I'm running out of time, the show will start soon. The man next to him said: "Now life is hard, but at least it is better than before, we have to move forward, as long as we keep jumping, there will always be a day." ”

"Hmm. Chen Xiaochun nodded, it was precisely because he had always had a dream in his heart that he insisted on it, otherwise he would have given up a long time ago.

When he was in the training class, his salary was only 700 yuan a month, and now he dances with others, and the company pays 1500 yuan a month, which is enough for food and clothing.

The two of them ate unhurriedly, sharing the star meal that originally belonged to Zhang Guorong, but halfway through eating, a voice suddenly came from behind them.

"Eh, I said why don't you two stay with other people, hide in this corner to eat, and dare to steal the star meal!"

This person is a deputy director of the event planning department, named Xu Minghao, a few days ago during the rehearsal, Chen Xiaochun and him had a little conflict, when they had just finished rehearsing a dance, sitting on the ground to rest, Xu Minghao suddenly ran over, handed him a cup, asked him to pour a glass of water, and the tone was not very good, as if calling for a little brother, Chen Xiaochun did not go.

He is not familiar with this person at all, and he is not one of his subordinates, he is tired and sweaty, he wears a straight suit, and his leather shoes are shiny, why do you want to help him run errands?

So this Liang Zi took it, if it weren't for Chen Xiaochun being a TVB person, he would probably be swept out of the field directly.

"Director Xu, it wasn't us who stole it, it was given by Zhang Guorong. The dancer who was sitting with Chen Xiaochun hurriedly explained.

It's not a big deal, but it still needs to be made clear, otherwise it will be as if they can't afford to eat.

"Cut, you two don't pee on yourself, Zhang Guorong will bird you?" Xu Minghao said with disdain: "I can't imagine that you people who come out of TVB have such unclean hands and feet." ”

"What do you say?!"

Chen Xiaochun's temper has always been more irritable, and he stood up suddenly, he knew that this guy was targeting him, and he was angry on the spot.

"Why, you still dare to do something with me?" Xu Minghao looked at him with disdain.

"Xiaochun, don't be impulsive. ”

Chen Xiaochun really wanted to smash his fist into his hateful face, and his fist clicked, but he also knew that no matter how reasonable he was, as long as he moved, he was the one who was wrong.

"I know you kid didn't plant!" Xu Minghao glanced at him, turned around, and spat on the ground.

Chen Xiaochun's eyes were red, and he wanted to kick over, but he was hugged by the person next to him.

"Haha......" Xu Minghao laughed and left.

"Damn, don't jump!" Chen Xiaochun directly threw the lunch box in his hand far away.

"Xiaochun, don't be impulsive, if you don't want to dance this time, it won't be easy for the company to arrange performance opportunities later. ”

"Opportunity?" Chen Xiaochun laughed at himself and turned his head to look at him, "What's the use of such an opportunity, my face is like a ghost, my mother doesn't know me when I run home, even if I dance well on the stage, who can remember me?"

"This ......"

It is important to persevere in the process of chasing your dreams, but many times you must also learn to deceive yourself.

The two of them were silent, sitting on the threshold stupidly, looking out at the hazy night, as if they couldn't see the future clearly......

After a long time, there was a sound of footsteps behind him.

"Chen Xiaochun. ”

Hearing the voice, Chen Xiaochun turned his head in surprise, "Eh, you are ...... That Zheng ......"

There are really too many people in TVB, he has never seen Zheng Yijian, but he can't call out his name for a while, he only knows a surname, and he knows that this person is much better than him.

"I'm Zheng Yijian. ”

"Oh, yes, yes......" Chen Xiaochun smiled and stood up, a little puzzled by what he suddenly found himself for, the two didn't seem to have any friendship.

"Let me introduce to you, this is the boss of Dongfanghong Pictures, Mr. Li Yadong, he has seen your dance before, and feels that your temperament and image are very good, and wants to invite you to join our company and play the second male lead in a movie that is about to start. ”

"What?!"

Not to mention that Chen Xiaochun was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time, even the dancer next to him, his jaw almost didn't drop, and he muttered: "Male No. 2 ......"

Newcomers like them who have just entered the circle, not to mention the second male lead, are the five men and the six men, no one will ask them to play!

Passerby A, who has no lines or has one or two lines, has a chance to act, but what difference does it make if he doesn't act?

I don't have a lot of money, and I can't mix my face with a familiar face, so it's better for them to dance with stars.

"Oh, hello Mr. Li......" Chen Xiaochun took a long time to react, and directly gave Li Yadong a ninety-degree bow.

"You don't have to be so polite. Li Yadong stepped forward to help him and replied with a smile.

Chen Xiaochun looked excited and said, "Mr. Li, are you really going to invite me to act in a movie?"

He even subconsciously ignored the three words "male number two", even if it was just a supporting role, he was willing.

"Of course, otherwise what do you think we're doing here at night?"

After receiving the other party's affirmative reply, Chen Xiaochun felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, suddenly thought of something, calmed down and asked, "You mean, you want me to join your film company?"

Li Yadong nodded, "This is a must, because what our company is going to make next is a series of movies, not one, and it is not a problem for you to be popular, so ...... You should understand, right?"

"A series?" Chen Xiaochun's face was flushed, and the other party's sentence "It's not a problem for you to be popular" has been echoing in his mind, and he feels that his brain is a little difficult for a while.

"Yes, there are a total of six dramas, all of which will be filmed this year, and there are plans for next year. ”

"Xiaochun, go, go......" The person next to him was in a hurry, and kept hitting him with his elbow.

This is simply a pie-in-the-sky thing, whoever doesn't go, who is lacking in heart!

You must know that Hong Kong makes more than 100 movies a year, and six dramas are staged in turn, even if the box office is poor, the second male lead will always make a little famous, isn't it better than them dancing here?

Chen Xiaochun's personality is impulsive, but he is still more rational when it comes to his own future, and suddenly he thought of something, and couldn't help but look at Zheng Yijian next to him, "Then ...... you?"

Zheng Yijian knew what he was thinking, and replied with a smile, "I have left to join Mr. Li's company, and I will be the male number one in this series of movies, if you join, we will be partners in the future." ”

"Oh, no wonder you just said 'our company'......" Chen Xiaochun suddenly said.

"Then ......" At this time, Li Yadong glanced at him and asked with a smile, "Chen Xiaochun, are you willing to join Dongfanghong Pictures?"

"I'm willing!" Chen Xiaochun nodded vigorously.

In fact, he was still a little hesitant, not hesitant to be the second male lead filming, but he didn't know anything about this Dongfanghong Pictures, and he had never met Li Yadong, so he was afraid of being deceived. But seeing that Zheng Yijian, who is much better than him in TVB, has resigned and joined, is he still hypocritical?

"Okay. Li Yadong smiled and nodded, "The movie is about to start shooting, give you two days to deal with trivial matters, is it enough?"

"No!"

But who knew that Chen Xiaochun waved his hand and said, "I'll go with you now!"

"Oh?" Li Yadong glanced at him with a smile, it seems that this kid is dancing with others here, and it is very unpleasant.

"I'm just a dancer, I don't have a formal contract with TVB, and it's easy to resign. Chen Xiaochun explained.

"Okay, let's go together. ”

Since there is no delay in time, for Li Yadong, it is naturally the best.

"Xiaochun, it will be developed in the future, don't forget to bring me ......"

"That's a must. ”

A group of three people walked through the corridor, and Chen Xiaochun picked up his clothes as he walked.

"Eh, damn, it's you kid again, the show will start soon, don't you want to do it yet, hurry up and put on my clothes!" Xu Minghao didn't go far, and when he saw this scene, he was immediately angry.

And what answered him was an oncoming prop costume......

Chen Xiaochun directly threw his shirt in his face and sneered: "Lao Tzu is really not doing it, what can you do with me?"

"You ......"

"What are you, take your dirty fingers away from Lao Tzu, and then point at me, believe it or not, Lao Tzu beat you?"

Chen Xiaochun walked directly past him, and bumped him with his shoulder, Xu Minghao, who was pampered, how could his body compare to Chen Xiaochun, who practiced dancing every day, suddenly stumbled, almost fell, and his lungs exploded.

"You kid dare to hit me, I'll wait for you, Lao Tzu will find someone to kill you!"

Chen Xiaochun didn't bother to pay attention to it, but Li Yadong frowned slightly, and after a pause, he glanced at him, squinted and said: "He is my person, I will make a drama next, if there are three long and two short, I promise that you will not be able to eat and walk around!"

As he spoke, he threw out a business card.

"Who are you?" Xu Minghao was slightly stunned.

Li Yadong took Zheng Yijian and Chen Xiaochun and continued to walk forward, leaving a sentence without looking back, "You can take your business card to Causeway Bay to inquire." ”
