"Uncle, I really don't have any money, you can pity me, after I came to Xiangjiang, I got lost with my friends, and he took all the money on my body, and now I really have no money."

Begged by Jin Mengyi with teary eyes, the middle-aged man finally relented, and put away the idea of bullying Jin Mengyi, and said angrily: "I'm really frustrated! Alright, alright! Twenty is twenty! I've got a discount for you, just this once, not for example! ”

"Thank you, uncle, thank you! When I earn money from acting, I will definitely pay you back the car money! Jin Mengyi was raised by the middle-aged man of Huang T, and she was really grateful, after coming to Xiangjiang, she felt that the people here were still a little kind.

The middle-aged man of Huang T was called by Jin Mengyi one by one, and he was very unhappy, and said: "Miss Jin, if you want to call me uncle again, I won't give you a discount!" I'm only 32 years old! ”

Jin Mengyi was stunned for a moment, thinking that the other party was 32 years old, and he was almost a round older than her, so it was okay to call him uncle? Does she herself look very old? Presumably tossed this day, she was already haggard and looked like she was several years old, which was really depressing.

Before leaving, he reminded Jin Mengyi that when he saw Director Li in the dormitory, he talked about the 50 fare, not to mention that he gave her a discount, so his business would not be good in the future.

Jin Mengyi still understands this thing, and quickly nodded and thanked her, keeping it in mind.

The middle-aged man saw that Jin Mengyi was really pitiful, and finally told her again: "You can reimburse the car money with Director Li, and let him report it to you." If you can quote 50, you can still earn points. ”

Jin Mengyi didn't expect the middle-aged man of Huang T to teach her this experience, and she was even more grateful to the middle-aged man of Huang T.

After separating from the middle-aged man of Huang T, Jin Mengyi followed the direction pointed to her by the other party and found the only large courtyard in the dilapidated fishing village that was still in shape, and there was a big iron sign standing at the door of this large courtyard, and the dim street lamp illuminated the four rusty gilded characters on the iron plate: actor's dormitory.

That's where she's going to live.

The courtyard door was not closed, Jin Mengyi carried her suitcase and crossed the threshold with great difficulty, entered the courtyard, and finally saw "Director Li" on the phone.

Director Li is a balding man. Look at the face. A few years older than the middle-aged man who just now, he is estimated to be forty years old, wearing a white coat, and I don't know if it's a costume or his usual special preferences. In short, it's quite retro and traditional.

Director Li led Jin Mengyi to the room where he was going to stay. It's a very simple shack. There are four bunk beds in it, and there are already other girls living in it.

Director Li asked Jin Mengyi to put down her luggage first, and then brought Jin Mengyi to his office. Then asked Jin Mengyi some basic information, especially how much money Jin Mengyi paid when she was in the brokerage company, and learned that Jin Mengyi only paid 600 yuan for the license fee, but did not pay the signing deposit, Director Li's face was obviously unhappy.

Director Li told Jin Mengyi: "In the past few days, we will give you a pass to get a pass to the base, but it will take a few days, before it is done, if there is a filming, you will follow the team, and we will tell the staff at the door that you don't need a permit to enter." ”

Jin Mengyi felt that she seemed to be getting closer and closer to the real filming, and hurriedly nodded her head to express her gratitude to Director Li, even though she could feel that Director Li didn't like her very much.

Director Li continued: "The salary for acting will be settled at the end of the month, and if you don't do enough, you won't be paid." The car money you just mentioned is also settled at the end of the month. There is no money for food and accommodation here, we have all the bags, when there is a play, the crew has a box lunch to eat, and when there is no play, everyone cooks and eats together. Anyway, I won't starve you. ”

Jin Mengyi remembered everything, Director Li didn't say much about other things, just let her live here to stop the point, just don't make trouble, if she wants to make trouble, she will be punished. After Jin Mengyi came to Xiangjiang, she was like a frightened bird, how dare she cause trouble, she was thankful that others didn't bully her, she just wanted to experience real acting now.

After all the explanations, Director Li called a fat woman in a flower skirt named "Sister Lu", and gave Jin Mengyi a comprehension of the dormitory where their actresses lived, and asked Sister Lu to help settle Jin Mengyi.

In fact, there is nothing to settle in, Sister Nalu is also an extras who came here, and she moved in earlier than Jin Mengyi, she brought Jin Mengyi back to the dormitory where their women lived, and let Jin Mengyi sleep on her top bunk.

At this time, it was already late, Jin Mengyi sorted out her luggage, re-laid the white sheets soaked in 84 on the top bunk, and then got out of bed and went out of the house to sit in the yard like everyone else, the reason why they went out of the house was because there was no air conditioning and no fan in the house, it was too hot, and there was a little wind blowing outside, which was much more comfortable than in the house.

Jin Mengyi took a closer look at this large compound known as the dormitory at this time, this courtyard is very large, there are at least ten bungalows side by side, and the people living in it are all extras, the rooms at the west end are all men, the two rooms at the east end are women, the toilets are public, at the gate of the courtyard, there are two big yellow dogs over there, and I don't know if it is to watch the family or watch them extras.

There was also a house at the far entrance, like a surveillance room, in which there were a few old-bewildered-boy youths smoking big brands, and the extras sitting in the courtyard didn't seem to want to go near the house with the old-bewildered-boy.

Sister Lu is a native of Shandong-Dong, she is very hearty and enthusiastic about Jin Mengyi, which gives Jin Mengyi a touch of warm comfort. She tossed for a day, she hadn't eaten, she hadn't drunk much water, she was angry, and now she was finally down-to-earth, she was thirsty and hungry, so she wanted to go out and buy some water and food.

Sister Lu learned that Jin Mengyi wanted to go out, so she took the initiative to go to the room at the door with Gu-Confused-Zai to ask for instructions, which made Jin Mengyi surprised, she didn't expect that these group performers would have to ask for instructions with those Gu-Confused-Zai when they came up with this courtyard, obviously, they are very unreasonable!

Sister Lu went in and talked to Gu Chaozai, a boy with yellow hair came out, looking at the age, this guy is estimated to be sixteen or seventeen years old, but his attitude is very arrogant and arrogant, he looked at Jin Mengyi a few times, and then told her not to go blind, and then called a boy in his early 25 or 6 years old from the yard to take Jin Mengyi out to buy food, and he was afraid that Jin Mengyi would get lost, but Jin Mengyi felt that this yellow-haired person took her out, as if he was afraid that she would run away.

Hungry and thirsty, she couldn't think about it so much, and after getting permission, Jin Mengyi took the 100 yuan she secretly took out from the pantyhose and went out with the boy to the commissary in the fishing village.

On the way, Jin Mengyi chatted with this boy who was a little stunned, and the other party said that he was a native of He-Bei, only 19 years old this year, and after graduating from junior high school, he had been pursuing his dream of acting, traveling to many places, and finally came to Xiangjiang, the film capital, to chase his dream.

Jin Mengyi was very curious and asked the boy named Li Han if he had also paid the money for the base pass when he came here. Li Han said that he didn't pay for the base pass, but he paid a service fee of 200 yuan before he was brought over by the performing arts agency.

Jin Mengyi learned that the extras in their big courtyard were not all bald men brought over by their company, and there were not many different "scam companies" brought to them. This made Jin Mengyi's impression of Xiangjiang super bad all of a sudden, in her impression before, Xiangjiang was a very bright movie pearl city and dream city, but she didn't expect the actual situation here to be like this, there are scam companies everywhere, which is really shocking.

Jin Mengyi later asked Li Han if he was acting, Li Han was very excited when he said this, saying that he had participated in several TV series, but they were all playing dead people, not living people, but he was also acting, as long as he could act, he was very cool.

Jin Mengyi heard that they really had a drama in these performances, and she felt a lot more at ease, at least she didn't come to Xiangjiang in vain.

After that, Jin Mengyi went to a small shop in the village with Li Han to buy a few bottles of mineral water, two packs of instant noodles, and finally invited Li Han to eat a popsicle before coming back.

After returning to the courtyard, Director Li shouted through the loudspeaker, telling all the performances not to let off the wind in the courtyard, and to go back to the house to sleep, there will be a play early tomorrow morning, and they must rest well. After that, Director Li also ordered a few names of the temporary performance and asked these people to go to his office to receive the play, including Sister Lu from Jin Mengyi's house.

After Jin Mengyi returned to the house, she chatted with several girls in the same room, and the people here came from all over the world, all of them came to Xiangjiang to realize their dreams, but until now, most of them have a feeling of being deceived, but now at least there are still performances, and they can only do it hard.

After Jin Mengyi ate instant noodles, Sister Na Lu came back with the play, and excitedly told the sisters in the same room that there will be their female play tomorrow, and you can bring four people over together, seeing that Jin Mengyi is a newcomer, Sister Lu will take care of her, and she will vote for one of the four people, which makes Jin Mengyi quite pleased.

Because she had to gather at six o'clock the next morning to go to the set, Jin Mengyi fell asleep very early this night, she tossed for a day, people were already very tired, and the conditions in the dormitory were very poor, like a steamer, but she still fell asleep quickly.

Because of her lack of experience, she didn't set an alarm clock for herself, which was a delay, and when she woke up the next day, it was already half past six in the morning!

As soon as I looked under the bed, Sister Lu's bed was already empty! The female performers in the dormitory who ordered yesterday are all gone, and they all set off for the set, but they didn't call her! Jin Mengyi was depressed and wanted to cry!

Those actresses who were not lit last night were still sleeping, Jin Mengyi went out to the toilet alone, and when she came back, she couldn't sleep, so she changed her clothes and came to the gate of the courtyard to sit.

Those who have a play have almost gone, and those who don't have a play are also sleeping, no one is up, and the yard is empty...... (To be continued......)
