Hubei Province, Jiangcheng.

As a famous furnace city in China, the temperature is still high even in August, and it will only be cooler in the morning.

A middle-aged woman carried the breakfast she bought, stood at the door and greeted her familiar neighbor, entered the door and opened her son's room, but sure enough, she didn't get up.

"Long Long, it's time to get up, I bought the noodles you like to eat today." The woman turned off the air conditioner that had been on all night and opened the window of the room to let him breathe.

The sleepy boy was sore by the sunlight outside the window, hurriedly covered his head with the quilt, and waved his hand outside: "Mom, I'll sleep again, I slept at one o'clock last night." ”

"You're playing games again? You're going to waste it now as soon as you're on vacation, and you're playing games all day long. The woman looked at the computer that had not been turned off and said angrily: "Sooner or later, one day I will sell your broken computer as scrap." ”

"I was checking the information last night, and I needed to use a computer for the summer vacation homework assigned by Mr. Cui." Hearing his mother's questioning, the boy woke up in a hazy and lifted the quilt to reveal his head to defend himself. He was video chatting with his girlfriend last night, but he didn't want his parents to know about his girlfriend.

"It's strange that I believe you." The woman glanced at her son dissatisfied: "Get up quickly, your father said that he would take you to practice sanda, even if you are on vacation, you can't relax yourself." ”

"Mom, I'm an actor, not an athlete." The boy complained helplessly.

"Actors don't need to stay in shape?" The woman scolded her son again: "Hurry up and get up and brush your teeth and wash your face, your father is coming back from morning exercise." When I see you like this, I want to talk about you again. ”

"Oh, got it." The boy had to get up, and the father who had a sanda coach was really miserable, and today I am afraid that he will be pulled by his father to be a sparring partner again. Fortunately, a phone call rescued him.

As soon as the woman brought breakfast to the dining room, she saw her son, who had thought that she would have to grind for a while, actually walked out dressed neatly.

"Mom, I'm going to Yanjing today."

"You only started school on September 1st, why did you go so early?" The woman stopped setting the cutlery and looked at her son in surprise.

The boy said excitedly: "Mr. Cui helped me contact a drama and informed me to audition. ”

"You're only a freshman, so you're going to take over the show?" The woman questioned a little: "You can't find an excuse because you don't want to train with your dad." ”

The boy said with some dissatisfaction: "Mom, I'm a sophomore at the beginning of school. ”

After speaking, the boy showed his mother the phone call he had just made, and sure enough, the caller number displayed on the phone was his son's homeroom teacher, Mr. Cui.

The woman was still a little surprised: "Didn't your teacher say that the freshman and sophomore years are mainly to lay the foundation and not give the play?" ”

"The teacher said that this time it was a drama cooperated by several seniors and Renyi, and many Renyi teachers participated, so we can learn from them about acting." The boy said arrogantly: "Your son is the first in the whole grade in the final exam this time, and the teacher is rewarding me." ”

"Since it was introduced by your teacher, there shouldn't be any problem." The woman looked at her son's handsome face and said excitedly: "My son is also going to act, and my son is going to become a star." ”

"Mom, I'm just going to audition, and I don't necessarily get it." The boy was a little shy by his mother's praise.

"I believe in you, my son is so handsome, he will definitely be selected."

"Even if it is selected, it is just a drama, and it is far away from the star." The boy shook his head helplessly.

After breakfast, the boy refused his mother's offer to send him, took a taxi to the station, and boarded a train from Hankow to Yanjing. After getting in the car, I sent a message to my girlfriend, preparing to go to Yanjing this time, no matter whether the audition was successful or not, I would not return to Jiangcheng.

-------------------------------------

This year's heat wave not only affected Jiangcheng, but also affected Hengdian, a small town in the south of the Yangtze River.

In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the filming crew of a costume drama.

Today's filming is a group scene, in which each elder brother takes Fujin into the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the Queen Mother. This is a winter play, and all the main and supporting characters have to wear gorgeous hats to show the royal style.

Filming winter scenes in summer is too accustomed to the crew. It's just a test for actors. Because of the fear of goofs, the crew could not use the air conditioner, so the crew specially purchased several large ice cubes to send cold air to it through an electric fan. That's it, after a scene, all the actors are still soaked from the inside out.

After the director shouted "Ka", several protagonists immediately had assistants to help change clothes, deliver cold mung bean soup, and then run to the dressing room not far away, where several actors and actresses from Xiangjiang and a nanny car provided rest.

As a few marginal supporting actors who also participated in this scene, they could only take off and fold the big hat by themselves, and then find the drama in charge of the costumes and props, and respectfully hand it to him, in anticipation of being able to move his makeup removal time to the front as much as possible.

Without being informed, they had to hide in the shade in the corner of the palace, fanning the wind with small fans, leaflets, and even handkerchiefs for props.

"It seems that it is not so easy for you to be an actor, and you have to wear such thick costumes on a hot day." An extras who played the role of a palace maid looked at the girl standing next to him and sighed a little, the palace maid could wear a little less and be relatively cooler.

"I'm an actor, and I only have a few lines in total." The girl smiled wryly.

Fujin, who is the most inconspicuous fifth elder brother in this play, only has a few scenes, and finally has a name on the subtitles. More often than not, it exists as a background board, and it is not much stronger than these group performances.

"That actor named Jia Yue is your classmate, I see that she invited you to the dressing room, why didn't you go?"

"She was also wearing makeup with the others, and it was too crowded for us to go in."

The girl shook her head helplessly, although Jia Yue had just sent an invitation to herself, the girl knew that there were mostly show-off ingredients in it, and there was not much sincerity. Why should the girl go there to join in the fun?

Jia Yue plays the second female lead in this play. When I was in high school, I played the role of a little fairy in the play "Little Fish and Flowers", and she became famous in costume dramas, not only signed a contract with Ciwen Media, but also equipped with her own full-time agent and assistant. It is said that there is also a rich second-generation boyfriend who escorts her career.

Although Jia Yue obeyed the instructions of her agent when she joined the crew for filming, she should keep a low profile and was not equipped with a nanny car, but she could enter the dressing room provided by the crew for the protagonists and enjoy the cold air from the air conditioner.

The girl waited for a while before being called by the drama management to the large dressing room to remove her makeup, and she had to remove the full set of clothes on her head for a while, and the girl also took the opportunity to cool down.

"Xiaoling, Teacher Chang Li just called you, and you called me before you answered." It was Jia Yue who was found.

"Teacher Chang's phone number?" The girl was a little surprised, and quickly took out her mobile phone from her personal pocket, and pressed the power button to open it: "I was afraid that it would affect the shooting just now, so I turned it off directly." ”

Jia Yue didn't leave, stretched out her hand and pulled a stool to sit next to the girl: "You should also find an agent, otherwise you can't contact you for many things, it's not very troublesome." ”

"I only have a salary of 8,000 yuan for this play, where can I raise an agent." The girl waited for the phone to turn on while perfunctory Jia Yue.

Jia Yue kept looking for an excuse not to leave, and the girl had no choice but to call Teacher Chang Li's phone.

"Hello Mr. Chang...... Back to Beijing? … I need to ask Director Zeng for a leave, I don't know if I can ask for it...... You help me please, thank you, teacher, sorry for your trouble. ”

When the girl called, although Jia Yue chatted with the actor next to her, her ears kept listening.

"Xiaoling, Teacher Chang contacted you for a play?" Jia Yue's charming eyes revealed a trace of resentment.

The girl hadn't recovered from the news just now, and said truthfully: "I heard that Teacher Chang said that it was a drama cooperated with Renyi, and there was a role in it that was very suitable for me. ”

Jia Yue looked her slightly young classmate up and down, and snorted coldly in her heart: I'm afraid it's the role of a middle school student.

"Congratulations, with this cooperation, maybe you will be able to take advantage of the situation to be admitted to Renyi, and the future is bright." Despite her resentment, Jia Yue still congratulated her. After turning to leave, Jia Yue contacted her agent and asked her to find out what the resources Chang Li helped contact this time were.
