Chapter 24 23 years old: The hardships of filming

"Okay, Jiatong, come over and change your clothes." The costumer on the side said.

Ai Jiatong glanced at her gratefully and followed her to change clothes.

The costume designer took a dress from the Republic of China period for her to wear, because she was not very tall, so she had to rely on high heels to adjust the height, and the clothes were repaired on the spot.

"OK, that's fine, that's good." The costumer looked at Ai Jiatong and nodded as he put on the dress.

Ai Jiatong looked in the mirror and thought it was good, but it was a little cumbersome, because it was that kind of puffy skirt.

Ai Jiatong sat down and let the makeup artist and hairstylist work together, closed her eyes and sat like this, after working for a long time, she was about to fall asleep.

"Alright, see for yourself." Ai Jiatong opened her eyes and saw that her hair had a lot of curls, she had no hairpins, and her makeup was very exquisite, she had the temperament of a young lady who stayed in the foreign world, but the role she played did come back from the foreign country, and she had to speak some English later.

"Knock knock." There was a knock on the door, and then someone opened the door, it was a man, he poked his head in and said, "Ai Jiatong is okay, it's already you." ”

"Okay, it's okay, Jiatong, let's go out." The makeup artist said with a smile.

Ai Jiatong nodded, her heart was pounding, and her palms were sweating.

The filming location was transferred to the house, which was the living room of a bungalow, and Ai Jiatong began to play against Zhou Chi.

She stood beside Zhou Chi, looking at the machines and staff, she was very nervous, although she had filmed commercials, but it was different, this time the lineup was very large, and even the extras who played the servants were professional.

"Don't be so nervous, take it easy," Zhou Chi said with a gentle patter on her shoulder.

Ai Jiatong was a little flattered that Zhou Chi was so friendly.

"I used to be nervous when I was a newcomer, but the more nervous I was, the worse I couldn't shoot, so don't think so much, just practice like that." Zhou Chi said with a smile.

Ai Jiatong looked at him gratefully and nodded, "Thank you." ”

"Okay, Jiatong, is it okay?" Director Qiao sat behind the camera, and he poked his head out and asked.

Ai Jiatong took a deep breath, looked at the people around her who were looking at her, and nodded.

β€œOK! Ready, Action! Director Qiao said loudly.

The maid was cleaning on the side, Zhou Chi came back from outside, and Ai Jiatong, who was originally sitting on the chair, saw it and ran over to hold his arm excitedly.

"Brother Mo, you're finally back."

Zhou Chi reached out and touched the top of her hair with a doting face, and said as he walked, "Yes, is our eldest lady boring?" ”

Ai Jiatong asked Zhou Chi to sit down, and said while pouring water from the teapot on the side to the cup, "Mmmm, I want to go out with you and Daddy!" ”

"No, it's messy outside, you better stay at home."

"But."

"Cards!" Ai Jiatong only said two words, and Director Qiao spoke, "Do it again." ”

Ai Jiatong was already nervous in her heart, but she was even more nervous in this way, and she had come back many times, and now her palms were full of sweat and her back was wet.

"Cards!" The director shouted the card again, Director Qiao stood up, walked in front of them, and frowned slightly, "Ai Jiatong, you take your filming seriously, don't be afraid, you don't have to look at our eyes, where did you go to learn in class?" ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry......" Ai Jiatong apologized vigorously and lowered his head.

"What's the use of being sorry? Didn't you rehearse well? Stage fright now? Director Qiao asked with a frown.

"I, I, I." Ai Jiatong's eyes were red, and she couldn't speak.

"Okay, Director Qiao, it's not the first time she's filming, don't be so strict, it's better to take a break, I'm also tired after filming so many scenes, start again in ten minutes, and it's good to buffer your mood." Zhou Chi spoke.

Director Qiao glanced at Ai Jiatong and nodded, "Okay, let's rest first, Ah Chi, you can talk to her, the two of you get to know each other better, maybe it will be good for the play." ”

"Okay."

"Jiatong, take a break, don't think too much, huh?" Director Qiao's voice also softened, patted her shoulder and said.

Ai Jiatong nodded, bit her lower lip, and wrung her hands together.

Zeng Baifei walked up and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?" ”

Ai Jiatong looked at Zeng Baifei with red eyes, looking like she was about to cry.

"Okay, it's okay, it's okay, you're really getting more and more nervous, Director Qiao's face is getting darker and darker, I see that I'm worried about you." Zeng Baifei said.

Ai Jiatong pouted aggrievedly, "If you don't comfort me, forget it, you're still scaring me!" ”

"Nope." Zeng Baifei said, saw Zhou Chi on the side, was stunned for a moment, and then bowed, "Hello Mr. Zhou, I am your fan!! ”

"Thank you." Zhou Chi said with a smile.

"Can I take a picture with you? And signatures. Zeng Baifei said excitedly.

"Of course you can, but not now, I need to talk to Ai Jiatong alone, can I take her away first?" Zhou Chi asked with a smile.

"Uh, yes." Zeng Baifei was stunned for a moment and said.

Zhou Chi looked at Ai Jiatong, "Come with me." ”

Ai Jiatong obediently followed, and the people at the scene were not surprised to see this scene, after all, Zhou Chi is a well-known good person in the circle, and he often helps newcomers, obviously, Ai Jiatong was very lucky to meet Zhou Chi.

Zhou Chi took Ai Jiatong to the stairwell, sat down on the stairs, looked at Ai Jiatong who was standing dumbly, and motioned for her to sit down.

Ai Jiatong looked at the international superstar who had no shelf, and her heart was very moved, and her eyes were moist.

"Director Qiao is like this, he is already polite to you, he scolded me more badly before, but I am thick-skinned, so I passed." Zhou Chi laughed at himself.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"I can understand your nervousness, but nervousness can't solve the problem, Director Qiao and the teachers all said that you are very talented, and I also believe that you are such a person, I think you will be a very good actor in the future at first glance, this is true." Zhou Chi looked at her very seriously.

Ai Jiatong glanced at Zhou Chi and drooped his head, "I'm really nervous, I don't know why, I, I." ”

Zhou Chi patted her shoulder, "Take it easy, I believe you can, I was as nervous as you before, but it's much better to comfort yourself in my heart, you have to integrate into the role, you have to believe that you are the best, you are this daughter, my fiancΓ©e." ”

"I'll try." Ai Jiatong bit her lower lip.

"Okay, now I'll rehearse with you." Zhou Chi stood up and said.

Ai Jiatong looked at him with some surprise, she couldn't imagine that Zhou Chi was so good, and tears came out of her eyes.

Seeing this, Zhou Chi was stunned for a moment, then smiled lightly, reached out and rubbed the top of her hair, "Fool, don't cry." ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you for not blaming me, and for helping me, woo woo, thank you......" Ai Jiatong cried.

"Okay, it's okay, as long as you shoot well, it's the best reward for me."

Ai Jiatong sniffed, "I will definitely work hard, really, I will definitely not let you down!" ”

"Well, let's rehearse first, and then you go and touch up your makeup." Zhou Chi took out a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it to her.

Ai Jiatong took it, looked at Zhou Chi's handsome and mature face, and was very moved by his such a gentlemanly behavior, his face couldn't help but blush slightly, completely impressed by his charm.

"Just like when you're practicing, don't think I'm an international superstar, OK?"

"I'll try."

Zhou Chi rehearsed twice with Ai Jiatong, and Ai Jiatong's condition was a little better, but it was still not possible to return to the scene.

"Director Qiao, it's better to let everyone at the scene retreat, so maybe Ai Jiatong won't be so nervous." Zhou Chi suggested.

Director Qiao looked at Ai Jiatong, "What do you think?" ”

Ai Jiatong swallowed a mouthful of saliva and nodded.

"Okay."

So, except for those in need, all the audience retreated, Ai Jiatong didn't pass the first time, and the second time didn't pass, but the third time improved, the fourth time was also very good, and the fifth time finally passed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, everyone has worked hard, I'm sorry......" Ai Jiatong bowed his head and apologized to the people at the scene.

"Okay, it's okay, there are more people than you NG." The makeup artist walked over and patted her on the shoulder.

"Thank you." Ai Jiatong looked at her gratefully.

"Okay, Jiatong, it's seven o'clock in the morning, I'll ask the driver to take you back, and you can come back tomorrow night." Qiao Dao walked up to her and said.

Ai Jiatong was a little surprised, it was already seven o'clock, oh my God, after filming for a few hours, just a few lines, I felt more and more guilty.

"You, the main thing is that you're too nervous, adjust yourself, huh?" Qiao Dao said with his left hand on her right shoulder.

Ai Jiatong nodded, "I know." ”

"Goodbye, Mr. Zhou!" Ai Jiatong bowed and said.

"Hmm." Zhou Chi smiled and nodded.

Ai Jiatong looked for Zeng Baifei and found him asleep sitting on the chair, Ai Jiatong had to change his clothes and come to wake him up again, and Zeng Baifei didn't forget to ask Zhou Chi for a group photo and autograph when he left.

"Jiatong, are you okay?" In the car, Zeng Baifei asked with concern.

"Do you think I'm good!?" Ai Jiatong's face was pale, and her eyes were full of bloodshots.

The two went back to work after washing, and they didn't eat breakfast.
