I don't know from which year it began, the guest house hotel express hotel with more than 100 yuan a day has become the standard for the preparation of film and television drama construction crews, and it has become a fine tradition of hard work that has been handed down. The iron-clad hotel and the flowing crew are a symbol of the prosperity of the Chinese film and television market, but later some people always say that prosperity has become a bubble, and who knows what happened later!

There is a restaurant on the edge of the South Third Ring Road that is famous for this, what is the name or something, and there have always been a large number of crews.

In the long corridor of the Express Hotel, a group of handsome guys and beautiful women in different costumes piled up at the door of a room and looked in, and the room was auditioning actors for a movie. An actress stood in front of the display board and introduced herself loudly, Tao Ye was using a camera to record her, and after introducing herself, he took a few photos of her from all angles.

The room is a standard room with twin beds, and there are a lot of actors' materials piled up on one bed, and the actor assistant director is selecting and checking it, and a chubby female agent stuffs a big book into the assistant director. The director sat at the head of the other bed, obviously dissatisfied with the actress, swiping his phone while looking up absentmindedly from time to time. After Tao Ye took the photo, the girl looked at the director expectantly and a little nervously, and the director didn't speak, just swiping her mobile phone.

The assistant director is very good at looking at the director's eyes, and without waiting for the director to say anything, he directly said to the girl: "Okay, then let's do this today, and we will inform you later." ”

The girl thanked her, went out, and left with the chubby female agent with a few handsome guys and beauties outside the door.

The director asked the assistant director: "That's all for today?" ”

"There are a few more on the way, you take a look at the information first, they are all just sent by the agent, you think there is a suitable one, I will contact them to come over to meet the group." The assistant director replied respectfully.

The director and the assistant director looked through the actors' information together, and picked out the director's fancy and put them in a bunch. Tao Ye will have nothing to do, from the materials that the director has seen, he picked them up one by one and looked at them, the materials are all beautifully made, and the photos of the actors are printed on them.

Tao Ye saw Fan Lina's information from the eliminated pile, and used all the photos he took for her. Tao Ye picked it up and looked at it, there was the one with a wild shape on the motorcycle, remembering what happened later that day, he couldn't help but laugh, he looked at the director, and no one noticed him at all.

Tao Ye pretended to inadvertently hand Fan Lina's information to the director, and said to the director: "Director, this girl is good, her image and temperament are quite close to the characters in our play." ”

The assistant director glanced at Tao Ye with unhappiness in his eyes.

The director took Fan Lina's information and looked at it hastily, and said in a stiff tone: "Who took this photo, how is the face black, obviously underexposed." ”

The assistant director made up for it again, "I'm too tall, and I was born as a model, so I can't act." The assistant director threw Fan Lina's information back into the eliminated pile.

was pouted in front of someone, Tao Ye's face was a little unbearable, so he couldn't hold it back, and smiled pretending to be indifferent.

Tao Ye came out of the room and walked to the elevator, and the assistant director followed and stopped Tao Ye.

"Hey, do you know that actress just now?"

Tao Ye looked at the assistant director, pondering his intentions, and before he could answer, the assistant director said: "Tell me about recommending actors later, this is also the work process, and the director has too many things to worry about." ”

Tao Ye knew what the assistant director meant, smiled indifferently and nodded.

"Okay, got it."

"Why don't you call her someday, and let the director see it and try the play."

Tao Ye didn't think about it, so he said, "Forget it, it's okay!" ”

。。。

Today is a midweek working day, and in the early afternoon, Tao Ye finished work early. The winter sun is very good, the sky is very blue, there are not many cars on the street and it seems a little empty, the asphalt road and sidewalks have been blown clean by the strong wind of the previous days, the trees on the street are only lifeless dead branches, and the green space is also withered, and even the fallen leaves have been swept away, revealing the stiff and white land like a concrete floor.

Tao Ye walked and walked, and a feeling of emptiness suddenly swelled up in his heart, and this sense of emptiness made him not have the heart to continue wandering the street. In the past, he would have gone home directly, drinking some wine and pulling tablets, but now that Xiaoting is here, he doesn't know how to explain his current state of existence, so he can only continue to hesitate on the street with empty courage, and he still makes a thoughtful appearance while walking, in fact, he doesn't know what he should think about, his thoughts are chaotic and wandering.

Tao Ye realized that he had fallen into a kind of mental laziness, projecting onto his body, and his limbs felt weak and weak. He suddenly thought that he was actually not suitable for a person to fall in love now, love needs to secrete enough hormones to stimulate the pituitary gland, the amount of male hormones in addition to the natural reaction of physical conditions, more depends on the man's ambition, the fanaticism for success, and the ambition for money and power, and he is too calm now, too indifferent, the hormones in his body are frozen by this cold winter.

It was really a little cold, and after walking for a while, Tao Ye saw a small McDonald's on the side of the road, so he turned in. Who knew that McDonald's was very lively, and a group of strong uncles and aunts occupied a few tables, happily making loud noises. Seeing Tao Ye come in, the eyes of the uncle and aunt quickly glanced at Tao Ye a few times, and the sound wave paused for a second or two, and then soared again.

Next to a table in the aisle, a twenty-eight or nineteen-year-old girl wearing a slightly rustic look in a black suit who at first glance looks like a real estate agent, speaking Hutong-flavored Mandarin, is gushing like a river, lobbying a middle-aged woman in her forties sitting opposite her, and pointing at the icon of a brochure like a PPT, trying to pull this housewife to join her direct selling gang, no, team.

There was no waiter at the counter, Tao Ye was thinking about what to pass the time, the waiter came back with a freshly filled coffee pot, and before he could put the pot down, the uncles and aunts had already flocked to huddle into a ball to fight for the refill, and some even poured it into their thermos cup, and the waiter stopped it loudly.

An aunt couldn't wait to take a sip of the freshly filled coffee, and then spit it back into the cup with a "poof", and cursed loudly.

"What does it smell, it's like brushing a pot of water."

"Why don't you taste the same as the first cup, how much water do you mix, you are too chicken thieves." , an uncle also complained.

"Do you think we're taking advantage of you?"

"What about your foreman, call your foreman out."

Tao Ye was squeezed aside by the noisy aunts and uncles, and the few words that the direct selling girl said to the middle-aged woman in a low voice floated into her ears.

"I tell you, I will never retire in the future, and if you find out that I will live like this in the future, you will kill me!"

The girl's extremely disgusted squinted eyes glared at this group of uncles and aunts, lamenting their misfortune and angering them.

"Fortunately, there is such a good business now that allows us to participate, do the right thing with the right people at the right time, and this is a career that we can engage in for a lifetime, and it will never be like them.

The girl's words were full of pride and positive energy, and her eyes flashed with tears of excitement.

Tao Ye couldn't listen anymore and turned out of McDonald's.

There was a Starbucks not far away, Starbucks was much quieter, Tao Ye ordered a hot latte, and it happened that the guests by the window got up to leave, so they hurried over to sit down. The floor-to-ceiling windows are spacious and bright, with plenty of light, Tao Ye just wanted to enjoy the warm sun of the winter afternoon, but unfortunately he heard other people's trade secrets.

At a table behind him, an eldest brother who is infinitely close to the uncle is talking on the phone about a movie project, promoting the investment share of the movie, and boasting to the person on the phone that the starring actors of the movie are all famous and powerful popular superstars, and they have pushed other projects for his film and booked the schedule.

The eldest brother was foaming at the corners of his mouth when he chatted, and the spitting stars were sprayed in the bright light mixed with dust, repeatedly emphasizing that the investment share was particularly tight, and he relied on his relationship to grab a few hundred of more than 200 million plates. Many businessmen are accustomed to hiding the monetary units behind the numbers, revealing some oily air, and it is obvious that they are experienced and have seen money as dung.

The eldest brother said: "There are many examples of small and big, and Liangliang personally told me that 'movies can be infinite'." Liangliang is my first brother, I dare to say anything to him, I will tell him, the current gameplay has changed, you people should retreat, it is time for us to go. ”

Liang Liang in the mouth of the eldest brother is a famous film director belonging to the Nth generation, and he is as famous as Yimou Kaige.

“。。。 How many listed companies you say may not have a production value of hundreds of millions a year, let alone profits, but movies can! The estimated box office of our film is 2 billion. In fact, running a movie is equivalent to running a listed company, but how hard it takes you to get a company, how fast the movie is, two or three years at most... ”

Tao Ye suddenly thought, after all, movies belong to the cultural industry, and those who engage in direct sales should attract people to McDonald's KFC, and film projects should at least be discussed at Starbucks or tea restaurants.

“。。。 Let me tell you, big directors and big stars are actually working for us, now it's not like before, the directors used to be awesome, and now investors stand at the top of the food chain in the film and television industry... Many young actors are in a hurry to tie up with investors... When I went back, I asked a few actresses to come out and sit and drink tea together... The eldest brother continued to flicker.

Tao Ye didn't want to listen to the big brother's oily and smooth boasting, but this buddy's voice was really loud, and it was getting louder and louder, and his tone was getting more and more excited, it seemed to be showing off his true feelings for film art, but in fact, he was showing off with a pure heart. This is incomparable to the little girl who is diligent and low-key in direct sales at McDonald's, and it really disturbs her purity, Tao Ye has scolded the stupid several times in his heart, and turned around and despised this guy with disgust several times, but this big brother is too involved and unaware.

"Hahahaha... Hahaha... ”

Tao Ye suddenly burst out into a burst of wild laughter, which is the nonsensical style of Stephen Chow's movie, and it is the kind of wild laughter that has been dubbed by Shi Banyu, loud and long-lasting. Many people looked at it in surprise, and the eldest brother also looked surprised, as if he had just noticed Tao Ye, and glanced at Tao Ye's camera bag again, knowing that he had met his peers. The eldest brother finally got up and walked out of the store while making a phone call.

。。。

It was almost evening, Tao Ye went home, he slowly walked up to the sixth floor, and saw that his security door was wide open, and the door inside was not closed, and he felt a little strange. When he entered the door, he saw Xiaoting talking to an aunt from the neighborhood committee with a red hoop on her arm, who was holding a big notebook in her hand and making records.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

Tao Ye shouted loudly, the aunt was frightened, turned around and saw that it was Tao Ye, quickly put away the book and fled, this aunt was the one who followed up and checked when the sofa bed came that day. Tao Ye continued to watch his aunt leave fiercely, and then closed the door.

"Why are you so fierce to people?" Xiao Ting looked puzzled.

"What did she tell you?"

"What's wrong with saying that outsiders want to register?"

"This person is a psychopath, you don't care about her in the future,"

"No, I think she's pretty normal."

"She has to check whoever comes to the house, and use a chicken feather as an arrow."

Tao Ye put down the camera bag and found that there had been a big change in the room, Xiao Ting bought a lot of frames, large and small, inlaid some of the photos taken by Tao Ye in them, hung them on the wall, or placed them in the corners of the room; On the coffee table were Xiaoting's own laptops, books and other school supplies.

"In the future, the coffee table will belong to me, I usually read and study here, and then move the computer and books away when eating, and return the desk to you, just make room for me to put cosmetics." Xiaoting happily explained her arrangements.

"Why are you so clear, you can use whatever you want." Tao Ye saw that a small area had been carved out by Xiao Ting on the desk and placed cosmetics, "You are efficient enough, you have already put them all on the table." ”

"That's, I changed the router and replaced it with a high-power one, so that we won't grab traffic when we're both at home, don't you often have to download movies on the Internet."

"How much does the router cost, and the frames?"

"I don't need you to give it, who made me Bai Fumei, I will cover you in the future. You've had a rough life before, and besides, I can't live with you for nothing, can I? You are much more comfortable than Du Ran, and it is close to where I go to class, so you can sleep more in the morning, and you don't have to squeeze Line 5, the morning rush hour of Line 5 is too terrifying, and people are like squeezing in cans. ”

Tao Ye looked at the photos on the wall, and Xiaoting happily showed off the fruits of her labor.

"Look, how is it, is there a special mood at home all of a sudden."

"It's kind of like a bar." Tao Ye said teasingly.

"Hey, what school did you graduate from?" Xiaoting asked suddenly.

"What do you mean?" Tao Ye was like a cat that had blown up his hair, and stared at Xiao Ting vigilantly.

"I don't have any photos of you at home, and I don't have any of them on my computer."

"Did you flip through my computer?"

Tao Ye frowned and glared at Xiao Ting, the harmonious atmosphere just now suddenly froze and froze.

"It's not a flip... Xiao Tingnuo said, "I just wanted to find a few photos of you when you were a child to set in the frame, but none of them, none of them went to college, they were all recent." ”

"Don't go through my computer in the future, why do you have this habit!" Tao Ye suddenly said coldly.

Xiao Ting was defenseless, and was suddenly overwhelmed by Tao Ye's cold arrow.

"What do you mean, who has this habit, I want to know more about you, it's wrong!"

Xiao Ting defended weakly, Tao Ye refused to give up, the laptop was on the table, the screen was open, Tao Ye walked over and pressed the boot button.

"I'm not used to that, you know it's wrong!"

"Do you have anything to see, or do you want to hide something?"

"This is not what a person of your age should say, can we stop being so vulgar!"

Tao Ye intensified his vicious words, stabbing straight to the point, Xiao Ting's self-esteem was swept away, and she screamed violently.

"Say no more!"

Xiao Ting felt that her tears were about to gush out, she held back her strength, glaring at Tao Ye angrily, and Tao Ye squinted at her with disdain.

"I can't stand it!"

Xiaoting stomped her foot fiercely, grabbed her down jacket and rushed out of the door, ran into the corridor to let the tears flow, cried, and ran downstairs crying.
