Next Chapter

When Mei Yu received the call from her agent, several strong hunk men were busy around her, helping her tie the tightrope, wait, she had to complete a difficult move, the tightrope would hoist her in the air, and then she had to do a side flip and two front flips like the best gymnasts.

Hanging wire, in this line, also called hanging Weiya, is the Chinese interpretation of the English wire rope WIRE, which is to tie a very thin wire to the actor, and then hang it in the air, and the actor makes various difficult movements such as moving and moving in the air.

After filming, the traces of the tightrope are erased through post-editing, so that what the audience sees is the scene where the actors are like fairies, flying over the air.

In the noise, the agent's sharp voice was still very harsh, and Mei Yu habitually moved the phone three inches away: "Xiaoyu, I heard that you pushed Director Chen's play again, do you know how hard I worked to get you such an opportunity?!" You are just a second-rate martial arts actress, in this world, there are many young and beautiful girls popping up every day, what qualifications do you have to pick and choose?! ”

It's a clichΓ© again, Mei Yu was irritable when she heard it, she gestured to the martial arts instructor next to her, signaling that the next thing could be done by herself.

The martial arts instructor knew that although this actor was not a first-line actress, he could be regarded as a bit of real material in the second-line, and it was not the first time he and Meiyu had worked together, so he nodded clearly, stretched out his right hand, and made an OK move.

Mei Yu saw that there was no one else around, so while fastening the wire buckle, she patiently explained to the microphone of her mobile phone: "Brother Liu, I have read Director Chen's book, and the supporting character in it is going to be chased by a group of hungry lions, you know, my knee has not been very good recently, and I am afraid that it will be dangerous at that time." ”

Without waiting for the complaint of the agent opposite, Mei Yu couldn't help but increase her tone and emphasized: "What's more, I've told you many times, I don't want to shoot these scenes, can you pick up some books with connotations for me?!" ”

After saying this, Mei Yu hung up the phone decisively, she is no longer young this year, many of the actresses who debuted together have retreated bravely, if it weren't for the red and purple, she would have found a way out for herself early, either marrying into a wealthy family or marrying a financial upstart, only she is still working hard for an ethereal dream.

When Mei Yu was young, he was discovered by a talent scout with a beautiful face, and recklessly entered the entertainment industry.

She is confident that after so many years, she can definitely win one or two awards with her acting skills, but unfortunately, in addition to the martial arts heroines, the books that came to her are fairy sisters, all of whom want to be good-looking, not acting.

The agent is the meanest, and he makes it clear very simply, if she doesn't still need to play, at this age, no one wants to be a vase, at most she can play a role like a snarky old lady next to the queen.

The director shouted with a loudspeaker, Meiyu quickly retracted her thoughts, she waved her arm at the director, the light hit her face, and her eyes were blurred by the dazzling strong light, she forced herself to open her eyes, otherwise after being filmed, it would be a funny scene with her eyes closed.

When her eyes adjusted to the bright light, Mei Yu saw clearly the gentle woman standing next to the director, the little bird was next to the director, and the two of them talked and laughed, as if it was just an inconsequential scene.

Mei Yu's resentment rose in her heart, just last year, she played the role of a mother in a low-cost bitter drama, she really played it very carefully, and vividly interpreted the pain of this middle-aged widowed husband and mother who had an eye disease.

Although she is not the protagonist, many film critics say that her shine in the play far overshadows the protagonist in the play, and they have predicted that she will be the well-deserved winner of the Best Supporting Actress at the Golden Phoenix Awards that year.

Cheng Wan, the woman who was laughing with the director, suddenly broke in as a dark horse, and inexplicably won the Best Supporting Actress award by playing a melancholy vase role in a commercial film of an internationally renowned director, and soon took advantage of this shareholder wind to climb to the status of a first-line actress in one fell swoop.

Mei Yuken took over this vulgar serial, flying around in the film, being hung by Weiya for four or five hours a day, she didn't have the psychology of gambling a breath, she wanted to prove that in this TV series starring Cheng Wan, even if she is a supporting role, she will be better than the protagonist.

With an ACTION, Mei Yu was quickly hoisted into the air, she endured the discomfort in her waist and abdomen, waving two long water sleeves, and from a distance, she was dressed in ancient costumes fluttering.

Mei Yu accurately performed a forward roll and a side flip according to the script, and the next thing should be the director shouting to stop and enter the next scene to shoot, but she didn't hear the director's order for a long time.

Mei Yu tried to maintain his body balance in mid-air, looked in the direction of the director, and saw Cheng Wan who was smiling and trembling beside the director, and the assistant director hurriedly ran up and whispered a few words in the director's ear, and the director noticed Mei Yu who stopped moving.

The director immediately stood up and shouted very unhappily: "Stop, stop, who told you to stop, reshoot!" ”

After speaking, the director sat down, still scolding and shouting in his mouth: "There is such an actor, who is half red and not purple and thinks he is a big name, and he casually wastes the achievements of all the staff, so that everyone is busy in vain." ”

Mei Yu's face turned pale, she didn't say anything, just silently adjusted her body and prepared for the next round of shooting. In the crew, unless you are an international superstar, you still obediently obey the director's orders, the director is the emperor of the crew, a second-rate star, and he still can't be provoked.

It happens from time to time that the corner is changed in the middle of the shooting, as long as the schedule is not in line with the external statement, so-and-so plays a big name, in this circle, it is always easier to smear a person than to make a person popular.

Mei Yu's forehead began to break out in cold sweat, the director didn't shout for a long time, she could only hang in mid-air all the time, her chest was very stuffy, she had this symptom a long time ago, she never dared to go to the doctor, her parents died of heart disease, she suspected that it was family inheritance.

Her parents always hoped that she would settle down as soon as possible and find a more honest family to marry and have children, but she always wanted to take a trophy to comfort herself for so many years of hard work, and her parents, who had been by her side, finally left without a blink of an eye.

Mei Yu looked at the ground that was getting lower and lower, and seemed to see the faces of her parents, and she wondered in confusion, what was wrong?

The screams of the crew came from his ears: "Weiya is broken, hurry, safety mat!" ”
