The pinnacle of the entertainment industry

"Dinner is ready!" With a loud shout from the crew, the actors who had been filming the whole morning under the sun walked towards the meal distribution point in twos and threes. Unlike the orderly dining area of ​​the artists, on the other side the actors and extras led the dinner. The dining area was as chaotic as ever.

The new show assistant girl was sweating anxiously. No matter how much she shouted "Everyone come one by one", no one paid attention to it. She could only stretch her hands as far as possible to stop everyone's crowding momentum. A beautiful girl almost Just be made to cry.

After finally getting out of the encirclement, Xia Qing looked around, and found the person he was looking for under the shade of a remote tree, walked over and sat down, and said, "Why do you move so fast every time, how do you do that?" of?"

"Hey, this is a secret technique that will not be passed on to the outside world. When you reach my age, you will naturally understand it!" The middle-aged man under the tree said while eating.

Looks like you are two years older than me, right? !Xia Qing stared at the big Duo Shuo with black lines, the man who didn't look up at all, opened today's lunch box, oh...lucky, I got the sweet and sour pork ribs rice today.

The man next to him quickly grabbed a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs from Xia Qing's opened lunch box, put it in his mouth and chewed it: "It's too old, it's not good!"

Then you still eat!Xia Qing was speechless, but the two of them had been together for a while, and he knew the man's character well, so he didn't bother to say anything about him, so it would be safer to eat a box lunch quickly. Recently, the crew is rushing to play, and there is not much rest time.

The sun at noon is really venomous, even if the two of them sat quietly in the shade of the tree, they still sweated unavoidably. After eating quietly, the costumes on both of them were soaked and had to be taken off Sun drying, so as not to affect the next shooting.

The two of them, who had gotten used to this period of regular shirtless time, started chatting casually.

"Have you contacted the next crew? This show is almost over." The man wiped his mouth and said to Xia Qing.

"The drama manager mentioned one to me today, but I'm still thinking about it." Xia Qing smiled.

"The show manager said it? Don't tell me it's the stand-in job, Xia Qing, you can't take this job!" When the man heard this, he changed his previous hippie smile and immediately became serious.

"Brother Chen, I said I'm still thinking about it!" Xia Qing couldn't laugh or cry.Of course Xia Qing knew that being a stand-in was not a good job, Wen was fine, but Wu was easily injured if he didn't have any technical skills, and he also knew about the scene that the dramatist was talking about, it was a scene of falling off a cliff, blasting and overturning a car Both, the reason why he is "considering" is because he heard that the director and actors of that crew are all god-level, and he has been to such a big production crew.

"Don't even think about it for me! Xia Qing, are you suffering from the lack of drama syndrome again? You said that you are a trick, and you have to get this if you have some kind of disease. If you have never acted or tried any drama, you will be crushed." The first one wants to participate, without weighing his own conditions, and the one who plays the part is not a stunt person, can anyone be a stand-in?"

The man poked Xia Qing's head unceremoniously, with a ferocious expression of "don't you listen to me and try".

Well, Brother Chen, although I know you care about me, aren't your words really hurting me in disguise?Xia Qing silently slandered.

"Don't say Brother Chen doesn't take care of you. If you don't have another family, I'll go and talk to my crew. I still have some face. It's an anti-Japanese drama, and there are also explosion scenes. It's enough to make you happy."

Seeing that Xia Qing didn't speak, Brother Chen thought that he hadn't given up on being a substitute, so he patted his chest to reassure Xia Qing.

"Brother Chen, thank you!" Xia Qing said sincerely, feeling quite touched.He and Brother Chen only met after they joined the crew. Although it wasn't long, it took more than three months, but this man, who was not a few years older than himself, always took care of him as a younger brother, and gave him a lot of attention inside and out. less help.

Unlike him, who is an alternative actor who only wants to act for the sake of acting, Brother Chen has only been an actor for three years and has become a leader of the actor. He has more connections than some agents, and he is also a leader in this crew Many things related to the extras will be directly discussed with Chen Ge by the drama director. Xia Qing always feels that Chen Ge is more like a manager than the extras.

"Why are you being polite to me? This is treating you like an outsider!" Brother Chen patted Xia Qing on the shoulder with a smile.

"The two over there, the play is on, what are you chatting about, hurry up!"

The voice of the drama director came suddenly, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, put on their clothes in a hurry, got up and ran over.

At two o'clock in the middle of the night, Xia Qing, who finally got home, fell headlong on the bed. Although the situation was the same every day when he was alive, the feeling of exhaustion would never be able to adapt no matter how long it took.

Although my mind was reminding myself that I can't just sleep like this before taking a shower, my body didn't listen to me, and my consciousness gradually became blurred. With a sound of "dang", the mobile phone in my hand fell to the ground and made a muffled sound. Xia Qing In a daze, I always felt that I saw a beam of milky yellow light, and then I still couldn't resist the temptation of the sleepy god, and fell into a dreamland.

In the dream, he seemed to see his former self.

In the first 22 years, Xia Qing chose the path chosen by his parents like most people. He went to a good high school and a good university. The only gain in four years of university is a graduation certificate and a degree certificate.

However, an accidental accident made the parents discover the sexuality that they have been hiding all the time. The two elders, who are both teachers, never thought that their son, who has always been well-behaved and worry-free, actually likes men. On the right way, Xia Qing, who has experienced psychological counseling, segregated education, and even blind dates with women, has strengthened his determination because of this incident.

His sexuality is innate, and Xia Qing has known it since he was a child, just like he has known since he was a child that he especially likes the various life styles in the drama. Since he has been considered "deviant", why can't he simply rebel completely? A little, really grab one for yourself.

So after Xia Qing had a showdown with his parents, regardless of their parents' obstruction, he resolutely packed his bags and left home to develop alone, to get in touch with the road of acting that he had always been thinking about.

However, the reality is always cruel. Xia Qingchu is a fledgling, has no acting skills, and has no good looks. Oh, I forgot to say that Xia Qing looks very ordinary, ordinary without any characteristics, so he is naturally severely punished by reality. one strike.

However, Xia Qing did not give up, and began to recommend himself as a part-timer for the crew, secretly accumulating experience in the crew, whatever drama was interesting, no matter how hard or tiring he was, he would join in. Gradually, he gained some recognition, and there were also familiar crew members who were willing to introduce him. Gradually, I have also become able to save some money and send it back to my hometown to subsidize my parents' family, although I don't know if they are willing to accept it.

But Xia Qing is essentially a drama lunatic. As soon as he joins the crew, he forgets everything and concentrates on stealing the teacher. There are only a few of them upside down, so the work is often intermittent.

Xia Qing is 33 years old this year. He has been playing tricks for almost ten years. He has experienced all kinds of crews, seen all kinds of acting skills, and watched all kinds of actors. He has also grown a lot, and his acting skills He also began to become more comfortable, and he received more and more rewards from the director, but the opportunity never came, so he was still a bitch.

However, Xia Qing himself was very happy, because there were many more opportunities to change casts than regular actors, and there were more opportunities to try. Xia Qing expressed that he was very satisfied.Thanks to Chen Ge's blessing, the next play will be settled again. It's great, I can act again.

Xia Qing smiled in his dream, but naturally he didn't realize that the mobile phone that fell on the ground last night was vibrating continuously.

After a while, the phone finally stopped vibrating.

At this time, a ray of early morning sunlight sneaked in through the curtains blown by the wind, and shone in the room with only a dozen square meters. There was no one on the bed in the room, only the slightly messy quilt and the mobile phone on the ground A lonely witness to the fact that there used to be people here.

Brother Chen, who was far away in the city, put down the phone in his hand and scratched his head. This kid Xia Qing usually gets up very early, why didn't he answer the phone today? Forget it, anyway, I'll see you later on the set.

Hehe, if that kid knew that Director Chen (the director of their current crew) intends to let him play a serious role in the next play, he would probably be crazy!

Hey, the trick circle is about to lose another good trick who loves his job and works hard. Brother Chen thought about the news that he was notified by the drama manager on the phone in the morning, and went out with his hands in his pockets.

Xia Qing slept so deeply that when he was woken up by the crazy phone ringing, he thought he was in a dream. In the dream, the faces of his parents, the faces of all kinds of entertainment circles, and the faces of Brother Chen flashed past. , Xia Qing managed to reach for the phone with his remaining rationality, and inexplicably connected without opening his eyes: "Hello? Brother Chen?" Normally, only Brother Chen would call him at this time.

The other party seemed to be a little surprised, and was silent for a few seconds, and then an exasperated voice came from the microphone: "God, you are really sleeping, when did you call me Brother Chen so politely, you are so sleepy, No, I almost forgot the business, audition this morning, don't tell me you forgot about the audition!"

"Audition?" Xia Qing was sensitive to these two words, so he suddenly became sober, and realized that the voice on the phone was not Brother Chen's.

But the moment he opened his eyes, his mouth could not be closed. What did he see?

This room, which was larger than his landlord's entire rental house, could never be his small attic that leaked wind in the middle of the night and leaked water in rainy days.
