Chapter 33: The Land of Dreams

The two stayed in a homestay and paid for a one-month suite.

After packing his luggage, Li Mi did not immediately take Jian Mingxi into action, but pulled him along and began to make phone calls.

She held a long list in her hand, listing the recent filming projects at the film and television base and the contact information of the crew.

To assemble such a list, you need a lot of contacts in the circle.

In addition to some of the projects in which Damai Entertainment participated, there were also producers Yuan who met at the China Merchants Gala to help match, as well as the director and producer of Bai Ling's film.

There are even many things that Feng Weiwei used her personal connections to help her finalize, saying that she also helped Bai Ling's favor.

"Our purpose this time is to play tricks." Li Mi tapped the paper in his hand with the tip of his pen and set the theme of this operation first, "But no matter how big or small the character is, I want you to write a short biography of the character, even if it is a background board or a corpse without lines, you must write it." ”

Regarding Li Mi's request, Jian Mingxi has always obeyed unconditionally and nodded seriously.

After talking to Jian Mingxi, Li Mi began to contact the crew on the list.

She said hello in advance, but she needed some small roles, and most of the assistant directors in charge of casting directly asked her to bring people to report, and there was no audition session.

In a month's time, Li Miman arranged it according to the filming schedule of different crews, and there will be two crews to go tomorrow.

"Today, I'll take you for a walk first, there are people coming and going, and there are many restaurants that look inconspicuous but have a unique taste."

The appearance of the two is really eye-catching in the film and television base where group performances are everywhere, so they are wrapped thicker, wrapped around scarves and hats and masks, and they are also out of the crowd.

However, the road to find food was not smooth, and Li Mi took Jian Mingxi to several streets in a row and was empty.

Although there are many people in the base, the infrastructure is not perfect, and there are few businesses introduced, after all, the new time is not too long.

"The gap of more than 20 years is too big...... Li Mi muttered quietly, completely forgetting that the current Oriental Film and Television City is not the one she is familiar with.

"Hungry? There's a noodle shop there. Jian Mingxi was tall and had a good sight, and when he saw a shop with its doors open, he thoughtfully didn't ask Li Mi why he didn't find any of the so-called many restaurants.

Li Mi was already hungry at this time, so he didn't pick any more, and the two entered the noodle restaurant together.

"What do you want to eat?" Running the hall was a young girl, wearing a clean apron, with a warm smile on her face and a thick Northwest accent.

After the two of them ordered, they sat in the back seat, and the room was warmer, so they untied their scarves and put them aside.

"The noodles will be ready immediately, first drink some noodle soup to warm up." The little sister brought two bowls of steaming noodle soup, and when she raised her eyes and saw the outstanding faces of the two, she was stunned, "You are...... Which crew is the main character, right? ”

"No, we're newcomers." Li Mi was used to socializing with people, and replied with a smile.

The little sister obviously didn't believe it, and after a few more looks, she really didn't remember what works the two of them had, so she only smiled and praised, "You are good-looking, you will definitely be able to try a lot of plays." ”

The store was not too busy at this time, and the noodles were served out in the back kitchen.

The cook was a gentle-looking man, listening to their chat, he made up a sentence, "Daughter-in-law, you are also good-looking, you will definitely be able to pass the audition tomorrow." ”

"You are husband and wife, you are really compatible." Li Mi felt a little familiar when he saw the cook, and estimated that the shop was still open until more than 20 years later.

The refreshing and firm flavor of the noodles clearly proves this.

The little sister was embarrassed that her husband praised her good looks in front of outsiders, so she drove the person back to the kitchen, sat on the empty stool next to her with a red face and chatted with Li Mi.

It turned out that she and her husband came to Oriental Film and Television City last year, and the little sister surnamed Chen has liked to watch TV series since she was a child, and she also has a dream of being an actor when she grows up.

Her family did not support her, saying that she was delusional, only her husband supported her, and even left her hometown with her to come to the film and television base.

In terms of appearance conditions alone, Chen Xiaomei's appearance is indeed not outstanding, with a single eyelid and wide eye distance, a round face and a round nose, and no professional acting experience, it is difficult to receive a role.

On the contrary, her husband, in order to support the livelihood of the two, started to learn from helping cooks, and now he has opened a small noodle restaurant, and the business has been good.

When Chen Xiaomei was not acting, she helped her husband run to the cashier, although she couldn't see the beginning of her career as an actor, but she could get by.

Li Mi could hear that Chen Xiaomei was envious of her and Jian Mingxi, who claimed to be newcomers.

In the film and television city, where there are many more group performances than the crew, there is a good-looking face, although it cannot be said that it can be used to travel unimpeded, but at least it is also a stepping stone.

But there is only a little envy, Chen Xiaomei is not dissatisfied with the status quo, but is still full of confidence and still has enthusiasm for performance.

also told Li Mi and Jian Mingxi a lot of the rules of the film and television city, and they were very enthusiastic.

After eating the noodles, Li Mi and Jian Mingxi walked aimlessly in the crowded crowd.

There are many small restaurants nearby, and many people are sitting on the threshold with a bowl of boxed lunches and eating in large gulps, their eyes are still lit up at any time, and as long as there is a shout of group performance, countless people will immediately rush up.

At that noodle shop just now, Li Mi finally remembered what it would look like more than 20 years later.

Business is still booming, but Chen Xiaomei has been staying in the noodle restaurant to run the cashier, and I never heard that she is the same as the people on the road, and every time she enthusiastically runs to the head of the group to recruit group performers.

"I've always felt that this place is the most dreamy place, even though it looks crowded."

Limi's voice was wrapped in a thick scarf and heavily nasal.

Jian Mingxi walked on the side of the wind, following her gaze to the crowd, "Whether she will become a professional actor or not, she will not regret it." ”

These words seem abrupt, but they are said by Chen Xiaomei, who has just separated.

Li Mi recalled Chen Xiaomei, who was busy in the store twenty years later, and the emotions that had just shrouded her heart also dissipated, and she finally had some smiles, "Yes, choose your dreams and try to work hard, she will be happy." ”

Back to the B&B in the evening, the two washed up early and rested.

Before entering the bedroom, Li Mi looked at Jian Mingxi, who was still blowing his hair, and only after a while did he come up with a sentence, "Tomorrow's acting, you don't have to be too serious, no, I mean, it's just acting, you know?" ”

Jian Mingxi turned off the hair dryer, obviously didn't understand Li Mi's words too much, but when she was afraid that she would be nervous about acting for the first time, she smiled and comforted her.

"Don't worry, I'll try."

Back in the bedroom, Li Mi collapsed himself on the bed in a large figure, sighed, covered his eyes with his arms, and muttered, "I know you will work hard, but I am also afraid that you will work too hard......"

Jian Mingxi, who was in his previous life, was praised by fans as a natural actor, and no matter what type of role he was, he could be immersed in his true colors.

But it is precisely because of this that he will continue to toss and turn in different roles, gradually lose himself, and finally jump from a tall building because of self-cognitive impairment, unable to distinguish between inside and outside the play.

The reason why Li Mi took Jian Mingxi to the film and television city to play tricks was also to exercise his ability to quickly enter and play the play.

"I'm not going to let you do it again."
