Section 39: Sugar water

It wasn't until he slept until three o'clock in the morning, and he couldn't sleep anymore, that Duane got up from the warm bed. After putting on clothes and pants, I walked out, and as soon as I opened the door, I smelled a sweet smell, which was so sweet that people panicked.

Hearing the voice, Shen Huifang poked her head out of the kitchen and saw Du An's head standing at the door of the room with her nose covered, and retracted her head again.

"It's up, I've left you food in the rice cooker, just heat it up. ”

Jiangnan loves sweets, but Duane doesn't know if it's a genetic mutation, and he hates sweets, so he really can't stand the smell of this sweet and greasy smell, so he covered his nose and ran to wash up, squeezed into the kitchen, and took his hand off his nose - people's adaptability is really strong, and they accept it when they smell it.

Shen Huifang's kitchen is very small, and it is almost full when two people are squeezed, and it is difficult to turn around.

Du An's rice cooker turned on, and there was leftover rice in it, and a small porcelain bowl with fried shredded pork with pickled cabbage was placed in the middle, using the residual temperature of the rice to keep warm. Du An picked it up and tested the temperature across the edge of the bowl, and it was still warm, so he didn't bother Aunt Shen anymore, opened the cupboard and took out a porcelain bowl to hold the rice, and ate it directly with fried shredded pork with cabbage.

The dish is half-warm, a little cold, but acceptable.

"Hey, you kid, heat it up!"

Shen Huifang stretched out one hand to take the dish, but Du Ane stopped her and protected the bowl with the other: "No, the temperature is just right, it's too hot when it's hot, I can't eat it." ”

In the face of Du An's stubbornness, Shen Huifang had no choice but to give up and go back to her own business.

Du An looked at Shen Huifang while eating, and asked casually, "Aunt Shen, what are you cooking? It's so sweet, how much sugar are you putting in it?"

After the interview that day, Du An's method of calling people to audition was really unreliable, so he took the initiative to find those favorite actresses to take the initiative to lobby. He also has a clear target - all the Chinese opera Nortel departments have been blacklisted, and he won't look for them, and there will be no drama if he finds them anyway-he is mainly looking for Hong Kong and Taiwan, Yang Gongru, Jia Jingwen, Zhang Zhen, etc., as long as he has been filming near Nanyang recently, he has visited them, but they all failed.

These people are more difficult to do than Zhang Jingchu: the killer salary of more than 2 million yuan he can come up with is very tempting for Zhang Jingchu, a newcomer, but it is nothing at all for these actors who have some fame, in contrast, the setting that the heroine is a prostitute makes them scruple more, so they all refuse.

Thinking about this, Shen Huifang took his words: "Isn't this a new officer from the street office, quite capable, I pulled a few young men and girls from Nanyi to perform a drama for our street, or a charity performance, no money, and the performance will start tonight." I also thought, this winter, it's not easy for these children to come all the way to play a drama for us, they don't charge money, it's always okay to eat something, right? I heard that most of these dolls are from Guangzhou, so why don't you boil some sugar water? The first time I cooked it, I don't know if they are used to it. ”

Du An took two mouthfuls of rice, chewed a few bites and swallowed it completely before saying, "It's good to have free drinks, but you can't pick and choose?"

It's really not okay to go on like this, or else change the script and change the identity of Qi Wei's prostitute?

It seemed that this was the only way to do it, and Duane began to think about the possibility and direction of adapting the script.

Thinking about it, a bowl of rice has been eaten, and after Du An cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and put them in the cupboard, Shen Huifang's sugar water over there was finally cooked.

Seeing that Shen Huifang was about to personally pick up the pressure cooker filled with sugar water, Du An hurriedly stopped her: "Hey, Aunt Shen, don't move, I'll come!" said and grabbed Shen Huifang to the side.

This pressure cooker is filled with sugar water, and the amount can be imagined, not to mention that it has to be served to the street theater. So Du An's job of serving the pressure cooker was snatched, Shen Huifang used a basket to fill the dishes and chopsticks, and the two walked towards the street theater.

The small theater of the street office is not far from here, and it takes seven or eight minutes to arrive, and the red banner of "Warm welcome to the charity performance of Nanyang Art Institute tonight" is hung at the gate, and the iron door is open. When I walked in, I turned the corner, and there was a large courtyard, which was full of benches, and there was a stage at the other end of the courtyard. On either side of the stage stood a half-height loudspeaker, and five or six students in civilian clothes were rehearsing on the stage.

The courtyard is surrounded by high walls, there is no wind in the courtyard, there are a few old people who have nothing to do sitting on the benches in the courtyard, the warm golden sun in the winter afternoon is sprinkled, the sun is lazy, these old people are idle while watching the students on the stage rehearsal, while drowsy, from time to time chatting with the people around them, among them there is an old man wearing a melon skin hat has been lost, dozing there with a cane. The students rehearsing on the stage did not use microphones, and the speakers were also turned off, only when they occasionally made a loud voice could they come down from the stage, one by one, like a lullaby, lined with the warm sunlight that would drain the strength of people's bones, and the whole courtyard was leisurely and quiet.

Du An, holding the pot, followed Shen Huifang to the front of the stage.

Under Shen Huifang's greeting, the students immediately ran down with cheers, and Du An and Shen Huifang shared the sugar water and handed it to them. The students all laughed and said "Thank you, Auntie" and then took the sugar water, drinking and chatting, a few of them looked at Duane from time to time, thinking that this person was familiar, it seemed to be the person who stirred up the false testimony incident a while ago, but after a few whispers between them, they laughed loudly, obviously thinking that the two just looked alike, and Duane could not be that person.

These students are indeed all from Guangzhou, and when they talk to each other, they speak in the vernacular, and Duane can barely understand some of them.

"Director Du?"

A female voice drew Duane's attention.

He turned his head and saw a solemnly dressed woman in a tweed coat.

"Officer Zhu. ”

Before Du An could speak, Shen Huifang had already taken the lead in greeting.

Zhu ...... Officer?"

Duane felt that his brain was a little insufficient.

The solemnly dressed woman in front of him is Zhu Qian: In the crew of "Chainsaw", he admired this actress the most, but why is she here now? Aunt Shen still calls her Director Zhu?

Zhu Qian walked up and greeted with a smile: "Aunt Shen, why did you really make sugar water for them and send it over?" Shen Huifang waved her hand again and again, and said, "It should be, it should be, it's not easy for these little guys to be alone in the field, and they have to come to give us a charity performance without rest on a good Sunday, it's really hard." ”

"If they can get the opportunity to perform for the masses, they are taking advantage. ”……

After Shen Huifang and Zhu Qian finished greeting, Shen Huifang went back with a basket of dishes and chopsticks, and asked Du An to take back the pot for a while; the students returned to the stage after drinking sugar water and began to rehearse; Du An and Zhu Qian casually found a bench and sat down.

"Why are you here?

Duane couldn't wait to ask.

Zhu Qian looked at the students on the stage, then looked at Duane, gave him a free smile, and said, "I'm not an actor now......

When "Chainsaw" was a great success, although Duane didn't get any benefits, the other people in the film had enough benefits, especially the two leading actors Zhang Jiayi and Zhu Yuchen, who soared into the sky with this movie alone, as if they had already become a second-tier star, but Zhu Qian didn't have such good luck.

After the fire of "Chainsaw", the situation of this small supporting role has not changed, he is still only a special actor, and he can still only play a supporting role in some small productions, which also completely shattered Zhu Qian's confidence.

“…… I can't grasp such an opportunity, I can't catch it, I think I may never find a better opportunity than this one in the future, and I can only mix it half-dead like this for the rest of my life, I really don't eat this bowl of rice. So I finally gave up, accepted my family's arrangement, became an officer in the street office here, and then got married and had children. ”

"My family is right, I am congenitally deficient and not suitable to be an actor. ”

Jusie was smiling as she said this, the sun shining from her front, the golden sunlight gently covering her face, and even the fine fuzz on her face could be seen from Duane.

Du An's words listened to her, looked at her free and easy smile, and felt uncomfortable in his heart, and just wanted to scold: Go ****** congenital insufficiency, a group of **** blind directors!
