Daily life of outdated stars

Xu Jia only rested for one day, and returned to the crew to film the next day. After passing his part, the director communicated with him in private, saying that he was going to make a costume drama next time, and asked Xu Jia if he was interested.

Xu Jia was straightforward and asked directly: "Do you need me to bring money into the group?"

"A small-budget drama with full investment, but lacks a good lead actor."

"Can you let me read the script?"

"No problem, I'll post it to you later. The show is good, but the subject matter is a bit sensitive."

"Banmei drama?"

"No, it's the first woman and the second woman who are in love."

"I've never heard of this topic before. Are you going to eat the first crab?"

"Hey, I've signed a VAM agreement, so I have to honestly make enough money."

"It's not easy for you."

"Nothing is easy. You are also an old man. You are not a good person in this circle. I am tired of signing and betting, but no matter how many people want to sign, I can't sign."

"The same is true."

The two chatted for a while, Xu Jia went to touch up her makeup and returned to the set.

With the sound of hitting the board, he changed from Xu Jia to Lin Yang again.

--

Since the rooftop incident, Lin Yang has successfully gained the trust of the gang leaders and gained access to many confidential documents. The relationship between him and Ding Yi has become more and more friendly. The two often eat, drink, smoke, whore and gamble.

You can do anything else, but Lin Yang is not very good at whoring. Ding Yi played with women in front of his face, and taught him: "If you don't like it, just feel it or push it out."

"She sells her body and you pay for it. There is no need to feel guilty."

Lin Yang's face was blushing violently, and he dealt with it bravely. When there was no one in the box, he found that Ding Yi had lit a cigarette and was about to smoke it.

Lin Yang subconsciously rushed over, snatched the cigarette from his hand, and said, "What are you doing?"

Ding Yi let out a muffled laugh and said, "Don't worry, brother, this cigarette is fine. I spare my life and won't touch those messy things."

Lin Yang heaved a sigh of relief, he didn't know why he rushed over just now, so he collapsed on the sofa and responded in silence without saying a word.

"Finally stop getting angry with me?" Ding Yi smoked half a cigarette, then took out his own gun, disassembled the parts, and wiped them one by one.

"When did I lose my temper with you? Haven't we always had a good relationship?"

"Boy, your acting skills are still my younger brother." Ding Yi took a bullet casually and threw it on Lin Yang's forehead. Lin Yang rubbed his head aggrievedly, in exchange for Ding Yi's low smile, "Aren't you happy that I killed someone? Do you know that if I don't kill him, I'll kill you. I saved your life, but you still lose your temper with me. Do you have any conscience?"

——I would rather you kill me than kill a strange ordinary person.

This was something he couldn't say out loud, so Lin Yang could only curl his lips and said, "I don't want to see people die in front of me. Besides, I treat you like a big brother, and you kill people in front of me. My three views have collapsed."

"A kind heart and a soft hand, can't bear the big responsibility."

Ding Yi said such words, but after loading his own gun, he peeled the orange with his rough hands. His fingers were very nimble, and he picked out the white silk of the orange very quickly. He handed the complete orange segments to Lin Yang.

"Eat it, don't you like this?"

"Don't eat."

"Eat it, just treat it as my apology to you."

"……OK then."

Lin Yang ate the orange slowly, Ding Yi looked at him gently, at least at this moment, the friendship between the two was real.

"Card - pass!"

The staff began to arrange the props and exit the stage in an orderly manner, but Xu Jia sat on the sofa and did not speak for a long time. The director was experienced, and he knew that this person had not yet appeared in the play. He wanted to ask the actor Jin Guowei who played "Ding Yi" to help "Called out" people, but found that Jin Guowei's expression was not quite right, obviously he was a little bit too slow.

He had no choice but to call Zhang Mengchao, pointed to Xu Jia, and said, "Help Brother Xu in a show."

"Mr. Director, what should I do?" Zhang Mengchao had no similar experience. He was at a loss and could only ask the director for advice.

The director said patiently: "Your role in the script is Zheng Lixin, and you are Lin Yang's college classmate. Put on this character's skin first, communicate with Lin Yang, and then pat him on the shoulder when he recovers." , Tell him, the show is over, it's time to go home."

"Okay... okay."

Zhang Mengchao doesn't have much experience in acting, but this role fits him quite well, and with Xu Jia's advice from before, he has been acting fairly well.But when he walked in front of Xu Jia, for an instant, he couldn't be separated from his role.

"Lin Yang..."

"Why are you here?"

"I... I'll come and see you."

"Oh."

Lin Yang's expression became extremely complicated in an instant, as if reminiscing, as if hesitating, and finally turned into firmness.

He closed his eyes and patted his shoulder with his hand.

Three, two, one.

When he opened his eyes again, Lin Yang's "soul" had faded, Xu Jia showed his usual smile, and said, "I'm sorry, Zhang Mengchao."

"No trouble, no trouble, Mr. Xu, you just acted really well, it's amazing."

Is it a good performance?

No.

It's more like a moment, completely immersed in the play.

It is a good thing and not a good thing for an actor to be too involved in the play. The good thing is that he can create classic characters. The bad thing is that the actors themselves can easily fall into the role and cannot extricate themselves, so that when the script ends, they still cannot escape the shadow of the role.

There are many well-known actors who have fallen into depression and acquired bad habits after giving excellent performances, and behind all of these are "not being able to attend."

Xu Jia didn't have the face to touch Ci's outstanding actors, but he knew his own situation, and he also knew that his state could not last for a long time.

So after the play, he immediately found the director and communicated with him: "Please try to focus my play on the front as much as possible, I can't last long in this state."

"Do you mind extending the filming time every day?"

"do not mind."

"Okay, then I'll hurry up and make arrangements."
