CHAPTER XXVI

The time happened to be autumn, the weather was gradually getting colder, and Xiao Xiangyue only had a small amount of pocket money in her pocket, only for one day's food and clothing. She bought two steaming buns and hid in an abandoned demolition building on the outskirts and ate them with relish.

The bustling scene on the other side firmly attracted Xiao Xiangyue's eyes, as if a movie was being made, and the team held up several long faucets to artificially create a beautiful scene in the rain, and the camera moving from the slide rail was filming this scene.

Under an oil-paper umbrella, a beautiful and touching girl is confiding in her boyfriend in the rain; In front of them, a ten-year-old girl was hurrying away from the two of them with her head covered by a book.

The girl facing the camera is wearing an elegant and chic cheongsam, looking so dignified and beautiful. How Xiao Xiangyue longs that she can also preserve that unique beauty in the camera, so that she may be able to forget the tragic encounters that have happened.

"How can one child be enough? Hurry up and find me a few more! If the picture is not up to par and the producer has to reshoot, can you afford to pay for the production? ”

A middle-aged man with a duckbill hat and a very artistic style pointed fingers in front of everyone.

"Director, it's not easy to find a child who is about ten years old now."

A thin man with a rickety figure beside him nodded incessantly: a child of this age should still be in school at this time, and it is already rare to find a temporary one! Besides, there is nothing wrong with a child in this scene! ”

When the director heard this, he looked extremely displeased, and glared at him vigorously: "Liu Changwu, I told you three days ago that this scene is very important, at least prepare two children for me!" But do you take my orders seriously? Are you a director or am I a director? ”

Liu Changwu was speechless when he was refuted, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead and responded: "Naturally, you are the director." ”

"This scene is filmed about the love moment of the hero and heroine, and naturally the rain must fall from the sky to reflect the romantic style of this film."

The director continued to snort disapprerovingly: "Several children looked at the moment when they held hands, looked at each other and smiled, which can reflect the difference between the innocence of the children's world and the adult world, and the ideological theme of the movie is once again sublimated!" It's art! Art! Do you understand, Liu Changwu. ”

Liu Changwu's eyes didn't dare to look directly at the director's aggressive gaze, and he kept nodding his head and saying: "Director, I understand that you have put a lot of effort into this movie." But in half an hour, the sun will be setting, and it is not easy to find a child right away! If you don't wait for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the child will have a holiday. ”

The director looked around and pointed in the direction of Xiao Xiangyue: "Look, isn't there a ten-year-old child over there?" Be flexible! Besides, the budget of the film is very tight, and the cost of waiting for two more days for the crew will increase! Call that girl over! ”

Liu Changwu said that in his impression, the director's professional level is indeed very solid, but he just likes to play pomp and nag.

But after all, he is a director, and he is just a follower, so do whatever the director says! He trotted over and called Xiao Xiangyue, who was eating steamed buns, and held her chin with his left hand and couldn't stop praising her: "The little girl looks good-eyed, and she will definitely be a beauty ruffian in the future." ”

The director pulled Xiao Xiangyue over and looked at it carefully, but shook his head with a disdainful expression: "There are more good-looking vases, and her acting skills are generally in vain, let her try it." ”

The specific content of this scene Liu Changwu only told Xiao Xiangyue once, but what was unexpected was that Xiao Xiangyue's performance was extremely outstanding, and the girl's unique innocence was performed just right, not at all as immature as the first contact with acting.

Even the director was distracted by this scene, and hurriedly instructed Liu Changwu: "I have another drama to shoot in the second half of the year, you bring him over, let her play a supporting role." ”

The director is one of the most prestigious directors in Hong Kong and has the title of "Best Actress Maker". Whoever can play the female lead in his film is basically half the success.

He has a critical eye, and he looks down on those vases that only have appearance and no acting skills, and ordinary people may not be able to grasp this kind of once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Liu Changwu hurriedly asked Xiao Xiangyue: "We want you to continue to participate in the next movie, and we want to discuss it with your family." ”

Xiao Xiangyue timidly replied truthfully: "My parents passed away because of an accident." Distant relatives are not willing to continue to raise me......"

Liu Changwu was very sympathetic to her plight, so he kept Xiao Xiangyue in mind.

Xiao Xiangyue also stood out in the Hong Kong entertainment industry because she successfully starred in the supporting role given by the director, and became a well-known child star, so she also achieved a counterattack in life with her own efforts.

This was the first turning point in Ho Yingying's life, when she met Bole by chance and seized the opportunity. As for the second turning point in her life, it was naturally her acquaintance with Qiao Minhong.

The 18-year-old little Xiangyue has become a big girl, as delicate as a porcelain doll. At a movie finale party, she met the tall and handsome Qiao Minhong.

At that time, Qiao Minhong was just a college graduate who had just joined the job and had a meager income. He was amazed by Zhang Xiangyue's beauty, and the two chatted very closely, so they left each other's phone numbers. With the gradual increase of follow-up communication and exchanges, the hearts of the two people became closer and closer, and then they naturally lived together.

Young people have a rising sun in their lives, and they have the courage to make a big stride towards the unattainable goal, no matter how far away the future is.

And Qiao Minhong is also this kind of young man whose heart is higher than the sky. His family background is very ordinary, his father died early, and his mother raised him alone, so he longs for the life of high society more than ordinary people. In order to achieve this goal in life, he studied and worked hard.

"To be a successful film director" was Qiao Minhong's wish since he was a child. But the threshold for director is too high!

In the past, it was a film studio system, and as long as you were an assistant director next to the director, you could have the opportunity to become a director and direct a film of your own style. But in Hong Kong, where capitalism is rampant, it is a hell for the poor!

It is difficult for the poor to have a way out, let alone make movies, even if they are a small actor, if there is no nobleman to promote, there may not be any future.

"It's just because I don't have a good background, otherwise the road to job hunting wouldn't be so difficult." Qiao Minhong poured out his bitter water to Zhang Xiangyue more than once.

Zhang Xiangyue also has unspeakable troubles. Because she debuted as a child star, her image in the minds of the audience was prematurely defined, unless she transformed into an acting school. But since the death of the director with the title of "Best Actress Making Machine", it has been difficult for her to get a role that suits her.

There have been several times when I want to quit the entertainment industry, after all, if I have been in this place of right and wrong for too long, I will inevitably understand some so-called "sophistication": behind female stars, there must be one or even many very powerful big names to support themselves in order to be popular to the end.

There are many female stars who are born from the grassroots but are particularly beautiful will choose to marry into a wealthy family as a broad wife when they are popular, sell themselves when they are the youngest and most beautiful, and live that kind of life of fine clothes and fine food!

But Zhang Xiangyue is the most marginalized character in the entertainment industry, if it weren't for Qiao Minhong's meager salary to subsidize her family, she might have announced her retirement from the entertainment industry a long time ago!

Due to filming, Zhang Xiangyue didn't have much energy to study, and dropped out of high school after only studying, she regretted very much that she couldn't study harder at the beginning, and in this era, no education means nothing!

Although the two of them are in a bustling international metropolis, they seem so incompatible. They all have endless fantasies about the future, but the cruel social reality slaps them in the face with a resounding slap.
