Play bone

On June 8, the two-day college entrance examination ended successfully.

Candidates from all over the country flooded out of the school, leaving the boring formulas, points and grammar behind.For most of them, the next three months will mean travel and food, online entertainment, lazy life and various rewards.

Lu Li is of course an exception, he must plan ahead.

Although the shadow of the car accident a year ago still lingers, with his sharp tongue, Lu Li still persuaded his mother to let him continue to work in the studio.

Hailing Film and Television City is a well-known old film and television base in East China, currently focusing on scenes from the pre-Qin, Song and Ming Dynasties and the Republic of China.The film city has complete food, accommodation and transportation facilities inside, just like a small kingdom.For tens of thousands of ordinary people who dream of being an actor, the "city gate" of this kingdom is the small two-story white building standing at the entrance of the movie theater - the Actors Union Center.

Every day at four or five o'clock in the morning, there are many extras squatting at the gate of the actors' union.The salary of ordinary people is 40 yuan for eight hours, and the salary of special actors is 70 yuan for eight hours.There are too many monks and too little porridge. Many people have worked hard for a month. After the board and lodging and the management fee of the studio, there is nothing left.

Lu Li didn't want his brand-new self to be a cheap living tool; he also knew the rules of China Film Academy, and he didn't like low-grade students to show their faces too early.Therefore, to make money in the film and television city, he would choose another way.

Early this morning, he rode out on his broken bicycle at home.On the way to the studio, there is a photo studio, which is the place where group performers make their job application resumes and take job application photos.The corridor from the lobby on the first floor to the restroom is filled with recruitment information for various crews.The recruits are not actors, but various technical jobs.

Lu Li looked while walking, hoping to find some familiar names among them.Generally speaking, teams led by well-known directors and producers have high investment and reasonable salaries.

He took pictures with his mobile phone while walking, reluctantly selected two or three companies, and was about to go to the door to check the market.At this moment, the door of the men's room opened, and a tall, thin middle-aged man came out, who happened to bump into Lu Li.

"Yo, isn't this a deer?"

Lu Li actually recognized this man—Old Zheng from the actor's union office, an idle and enthusiastic person.He still seemed to have that kind of affection for Lu Li's mother, but it was all about shaving his head and picking his head.

Hearing that Lu Li was looking for a job in a photo studio, Old Zheng rolled his eyes, patted his head and said that there must be a good job for him.Lu Li didn't even have a chance to refuse, so he was dragged into his electric car and drove into the film and television city.

Huibin Building, at the intersection of Jiangnan Road and Fengyan Road, backed by Jiufeng Mountain, has a remote and quiet environment, and is the most upscale hotel in the studio.The place is full of guests all the year round, and the receptions are basically celebrities and important members of the big crew.

Back then, Lu Li stayed in a high-end suite more than once; there were flowers on the table and a welcome message written by the hotel manager, and the pistachios in the fruit plate were always warm and freshly baked.

Unexpectedly, he stepped here again to find a job.

The "beautiful job" Lao Zheng mentioned was actually an assistant to the production team.Simply put, this type of work is to do some chores in life in the crew.It can't be said that it is hard work, but the key is to be smart enough to know how to read words and emotions.Once you get started, there are a lot of kickbacks you can get.

At this moment, Lao Zheng led Lu Li to stand in the corner of the lobby and made a phone call, wanting the life producer of the crew to come downstairs to have a look.However, the call got through, but the other party said that people have been recruited, and there is no shortage of manpower in the team for the time being.

This thing is a little embarrassing.

Lu Li also didn't want to owe Lao Zheng this kind of love, so he said it's okay, turned around and left.But at this moment, the elevator about ten steps away from them opened, and four or five people rushed out of it.

The two giants standing on the outermost side were obviously bodyguards, and Lu Li actually knew the rest of them—a young man and a woman were Shen Xingze's assistant and executive manager, and the one with the stars Gongyue was of course Shen Xingze.

Perhaps it was because of the makeup, the man was wearing wide sunglasses, and his lips were redder than usual.Lu Li suddenly remembered that his cousin seemed to be nagging about Shen Xingxuan who was filming recently, so he met him by such a coincidence.

He just took a few extra glances, but Shen Xingxuan turned around as if he had a telepathy.

With a distance of five or six meters, the two people's eyes met in mid-air. The next second, Shen Xingze stopped in his tracks. Lu Li was stunned for a moment. When he regained consciousness, he realized that he was sleepwalking. posted it up.

The two bodyguards immediately prepared to stop them, but fortunately Shen Xing chose to explain a few words in time before letting them go.

Lu Li finally came in front of Shen Xingze, but he didn't know how to address him after he stood still.He was annoyed why he was so stupid all of a sudden, but he heard Shen Xing choose to speak.

"Are you Lu Li who performed the 10-minute skit in the retest?"

"...Yes." Lu Li finally recovered his voice, "I didn't expect you to remember me."

The sunglasses perfectly covered Shen Xingze's expression: "Why are you here?"

"My family lives near here, and I come to work during the summer vacation."

"How about your professional grades?"

"Yeah. I've got the textual research certificate, No.2." Lu Li considered whether he should thank Shen Xingze, the examiner, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Shen Xingze nodded in approval.

"What kind of work, actor?"

"Forget it as an actor. If you make a mistake, it will be a dark history. I would rather be an on-set assistant or an actor assistant."

Shen Xing said yes, and turned to look at his female assistant Anna: "You leave a phone number, turn around and ask Lao Ji."

"...Thank you Brother Shen."

Although he was a little uncomfortable with the sudden attention, Lu Li understood that it would be rude to refuse decisively.

With work in hand, Shen Xing chose to turn around and leave.Lao Zheng, who was left out in the cold, immediately leaned over and winked.

"Isn't that Shen Xingze? A big star! How do you know him, kid?"

"It's also a coincidence."

Lu Li was perfunctory, but his gaze was still in the direction Shen Xing chose to leave.

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

Lu Li understood Shen Xingxuan's temperament very well, and his face was greater than the sky.He generally does not take the initiative to make promises easily.Now that I have asked for my own contact information, it is probably a bit noisy.

This made Lu Li feel at ease, but at the same time a little uneasy - Shen Xingxuan would not show affection to others for no reason, he is a successful actor, but under his skin and in his blood vessels are all the genes and blood of a top businessman .

Two hours later, Lu Li's hunch came true.The person who called was the life producer of Shen Xingze's crew, who asked him to go to the hotel for an interview in the afternoon as the artist's life assistant.

Although most economic companies will send one or two life assistants to follow the artists, sometimes there will be special circumstances, such as assistants leaving or dismissing midway, which requires recruitment by the crew.

This time, Xu Rulin, the second male lead in the play, is recruiting an assistant.Lu Li also knew this person. He had suddenly become popular in the past two years. He debuted as a singer and topped the shopping list. His family has money and background, so he is considered a lucky person in the industry.

The interview took place in the studio of the live production, and the actor himself was not involved.Lu Li concealed his experience of being in a car accident. The producer was very satisfied with his work experience on the set, and he was able to answer a few basic questions fluently.

The salary is [-] a month, which is considered good in the industry.After Lu Li signed, the producer called Xu Rulin's current assistant, a short man with black-rimmed glasses, surnamed Chen.

Hearing that Lu Li had already signed the contract, Assistant Chen immediately questioned, "Should I show it to Teacher Xu first?"

"Don't watch it, don't watch it!" The producer waved his hands anxiously, "It's still good to let him watch it? It's only been a while and we've already changed three. Anyone who goes down the whole city will be selected by him again."

Assistant Chen grunted in his throat. He couldn't tell whether it was an agreement or a complaint against the producer, but he still accepted Lu Li and led him to the upper floors of the hotel by elevator.

The two stepped on the thick carpet and came to a secluded suite at the end of the corridor.

"He likes others to call him teacher." Assistant Chen didn't talk much, this was the only suggestion he gave Lu Li.

The door of the suite was ajar, and it was dark inside.The assistant was obviously also a little confused, and slowed down to walk in.There was no one in the living room. There were opened suitcases, movable clothes hangers, and four or five pairs of sneakers in the corner, and cups, plates, and dishes were a mess on the coffee table.

After years of filming, this wasn't the messiest room Lu Li had ever seen.But Xu Rulin has always shown others with a neat and capable image, which is in stark contrast.

Someone seemed to be talking on the phone in the bedroom. Lu Li happened to be standing by the door, so he glanced inside.He only had time to see clearly that there seemed to be a person wrapped in the bed, when suddenly a white thing flew towards him.

Lu Li took a step back to avoid it, and found that it was a white hotel slippers.In the next second, Assistant Chen dragged him back out of the room again.

This Xu Rulin has such a temper in private.It seems that the 4000 yuan is not easy to take.

The two stood like this for a few minutes, until Assistant Chen saw a light in the crack of the door, and then opened the door again to enter.

Xu Rulin was already up, wearing pajamas, with disheveled hair, and a bad complexion.He was sitting on the sofa smoking a cigarette, with his legs crossed, revealing a circle of tattoos on his ankles.

Assistant Chen started to introduce Lu Li, but Xu Rulin didn't raise his eyes the whole time.He lowered his head and played with his mobile phone, occasionally laughing a few times.It wasn't until the assistant finished the introduction that he gave the first order of the day - eat chicken porridge with mushrooms.

Assistant Chen glanced at Lu Li, who immediately turned around and called for room service.But Xu Rulin said that the hotel kitchen was not to his taste, and pointed out that he wanted to eat at a food stall in the city.

For the assistant, the cue of the star is the command.Lu Li, who was on the first day of employment, needed to perform well.

It's just that he came here on Lao Zheng's moped just now, and now he can only run back to the actor's center to pick up his bicycle.Although I took a sightseeing electric car halfway, it still took more than half an hour to go back and forth.

When he returned to the hotel with the lunch box, there was no answer in the room.Fortunately, Lu Li was a veteran, so he immediately went downstairs to find the crew's dressing room, and when he ran in, he saw Xu Rulin putting on makeup, beside the hotel's dining car, with Cantonese-style dim sum on the upper and lower three floors.

The make-up team is basically all women. As soon as Lu Li entered the door, the girls all looked at him vigorously.Lu Li also smiled back, but his heart was heavy and full of ominous premonition.

He took the porridge bucket out of the plastic bag, held it in his hand with a paper towel, and pretended to return to Xu Rulin obediently.But Xu Rulin didn't even raise his head.

Still, the royal make-up artist who was doing styling for Xu Rulin gave him a wink, and Lu Li temporarily put the porridge jar on the dressing table.But as soon as he turned around and walked away, he only heard a "boom", and when he turned around, the whole can of chicken porridge fell into the trash can.

The dressing room was silent for a while, and no one wanted to make a fuss to smooth things over.Fortunately, an actress happened to come in to put on makeup, and everyone hurriedly exchanged a few words, and the atmosphere finally returned to normal.

Assistant Chen called Lu Li to the tea room next to the dressing room, and told him in a low voice: Every newcomer will encounter this kind of smackdown, so tell him not to pay too much attention to it—besides, throwing away a bowl of smooth chicken porridge is not a big deal, after all, it is not hot. Coffee, hot milk tea, people who are scalded have it.

Lu Li thought that this was really a little demon, but on the surface he just smiled and said thank you brother for the suggestion.

Xu Rulin finished her makeup and was about to go out for filming after dinner.It's summer vacation now, and one or two o'clock in the afternoon is the worst time.Assistant Chen was in charge of packing his umbrella and bag; Lu Li held a mini fan in one hand and a small portable refrigerator in the other, which contained natural mineral water, lemon slices, and ice cubes.
