Daily life of outdated stars

At exactly nine o'clock in the morning, Xu Jia arrived at the set. What greeted him was a stack of flying pages. It was said that the director and screenwriter had revised the script overnight.

Xu Jia flipped through the refurbished script and found that the character he played had a major change in personality. He was married with an extra-marital love line, and was also suspected of academic fraud.

Xu Jia rubbed the space between his brows, turned out the previous script, and began to sort out the growth lines of the characters with a pen and paper. It was written in a beautiful thin golden font, which filled two pages. He took the paper to communicate with the director, and he was just halfway through the conversation. , I had to say "I just want to change like this" from the director.

"It can also be changed like this," Xu Jia did not rush and did not refute the director's words, "but the growth process of the character should be coherent. If you want to create such a character in the later stage, you need to properly embed the thread in the early stage. For the wife, at least two transitional scenes should be added to reflect the conflict between them..."

"You're right," the director sneered, interrupting Xu Jia's eloquence, "But I'm the director, and you're an actor, so you have to be obedient and act well, or get out of here."

This is shameless.

Xu Jia put the pen in his hand back into the cap, and with a slight smile on his lips, he said, "I'm just offering some suggestions. If you don't want to accept them, it doesn't matter to me."

"You pay for the filming, I get the money for acting, that's all."

The veins on the director's neck were bulging, and he wanted to yell at him, but he was hesitant because of his own identity, so he missed the opportunity instead.

Xu Jia shook her head, stood up straight, her attitude was humble and polite: "Director, I'm fine, I'll go back and touch up my makeup first."

The director waved his hand, Xu Jia left the room, cursed a series of swear words silently, wiped his face, returned to his seat, and waited for the filming.

Xu Jia had very few scenes today. It was originally scheduled for the morning, but the director temporarily revised the script, and on the grounds that he would be familiar with the lines, he directly arranged his filming for the last scene of the day.

Xu Jia memorized all the lines in the flying page, and added makeup in the middle. When it was time to go on stage, the director changed the scene again, and directly advanced the subsequent plot. Angrily slapped him three times."

The actress who plays the professor's wife has been in the industry for several years, and she gets along well with Xu Jia on a daily basis. After hearing this arrangement, she whispered to Xu Jia, "Let's borrow a seat for a while."

"Okay, thank you, Miss Qin."

Xu Jia entered the film and took three shots. Each time, the director frowned and said "no" and asked for a reshoot.

Xu Jia had no choice but to ask in a low voice, "What can't be done?" The director raised Erlang's legs, leaned back on the back of the chair, pretended to think for a moment, and said, "The conflict in the drama is not in place. My suggestion is that you should really fight."

Xu Jia laughed out loud, and he reached out his hand to stop Sister Qin who wanted to go over and argue, and said, "If you really fight, you really fight, it's all for a good show, it's worth it."

The director's expression couldn't hold back anymore. He wanted to see Xu Jia turn angry, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't care.

The field affairs started playing the board again.

Xu Jia's limbs adjusted instantly, her expression was subtle and in place, and her lines were cadenced.

"...I just like her. She is young and beautiful, and she speaks softly. She doesn't look like you..."

"Snapped--"

Sister Qin didn't use much effort, but Xu Jia's skin was thin, and red marks appeared on her face almost instantly.

"Okay...you actually hit me!"

"Kakaka—"

The director yelled to stop, without raising his eyelids, and said, "This slap is too light, let's do it again."

"It's enough to add special sound effects, Xu Jia's face is blushing." Seeing Xu Jia's flushed face, Sister Qin couldn't help but speak out to dissuade her.

"You're the director and I'm the director? Do it again, hit hard, didn't he say it, it's worth it for a good movie."

Sister Qin wanted to persuade her again, but Xu Jia shook her head at her and said, "It's okay to try again, Sister Qin, this time it's harder."

"Snapped--"

"Kakaka, do it again."

"Snapped--"

"Again!"

The real scenes were replayed five times, Xu Jia's face was already swollen, the director looked at his watch, and finally said with satisfaction: "Okay, it's over, let's go."

The entire crew was silent, not a trace of joy.

It wasn't until Xu Jia walked to the bathroom that the crowd came to life.

Xu Jia took ice cubes from the refrigerator, wrapped them in a towel and applied them to his face. His phone vibrated for a moment. He took out the phone and found that Sister Qin had sent him an apologetic emoji on the communication software.

He typed with one hand, and quickly replied: "It's all for filming, so why not apologize."

After sending the message, Xu Jia checked other unread messages. Most of the messages were from acquaintances. There was only one stranger with a profile picture of a hand with knuckles, and transferred 2 yuan to him.

Xu Jia was stunned for a few seconds, recalling yesterday's 200 yuan, and then realized that the man had really "returned it a hundredfold" after passing his friend application.

While applying ice cubes to his face, he quickly replied: "You don't need to pay back [-], just [-]."

Three seconds after the message was sent, another message appeared on the screen: "Your name is Xu Jia?"

Xu Jia's social account name is Xu Jia, he has long since passed away, and he didn't have any scruples, so he replied: "Yes."

"White deer."

"your name?"

"Ah."

Xu Jia stared at the word "um" for a few seconds, really couldn't think of what to talk to a stranger, and was about to switch the interface, when the prompt "the other party is typing" appeared at the top.

A few seconds later, the man sent a message.

"Are you an adult?"

"...I'm 33."

"What kind of person do you think you are?"

"What does this have to do with you?"

"It's ok."

Xu Jia sneered, and the other party quickly sent another message.

"You take the money, please do me a favor."

"No money, what do you want me to do?"

"I celebrate my birthday today, can you spend it with me?"

"...we are strangers."

"Can you?"

"No."

"I can add money."

"Kid, I'm not short of money."

"20, just for one night."

Xu Jia took a deep breath, thinking that the plot in the movie actually happened to him.

He put an ice cube on his face again, and quickly replied: "The companionship bought with money is also fake, I am not short of money."

"Panlong Villa, room 1018, I'll wait for you."

"I'm not going."
