Tang Xiu's eyes stayed on Jiang Qiao's dessert on the table for a few seconds, and then turned to look at him, "When will Shen Simo join the team?"

Jiang Qiao was a little surprised, "It's tonight, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing. I'm just curious. Didn't you fail to invite Sangu thatched cottage before? How did you get it this time?"

Seeing that Tang Xiu still had no expression on his face, Jiang Qiao vaguely felt that he was hallucinating just now, so he pulled the stool and sat down with a smile, and said, "My student is different from most actors. He has no pressure to make money, and he also I don’t want to be popular, but I really love acting. Before he refused to enter the film industry because he couldn’t let go of the temptation of the ivory tower. This time he graduated from the tower and returned to the mainland to develop. My crew is naturally the best choice.”

"Oh?" The old ancestor slightly raised the corners of his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes, "It's such a difficult person to hire, but he was given a supporting role, and he was replaced."

Jiang Qiao laughed when he heard the words, turned around and picked up the dessert bag, and said as he unwrapped it: "A newcomer actor will make his debut in my work, let alone an important supporting role, even showing his face for two seconds is a very high starting point." He said, looking at the two small boxes in his hand, "Which one do you want, blood glutinous rice or taro balls?"

Tang Xiu said, "I don't like to eat these sweet things."

Jiang Qiao was taken aback when he heard this. If he remembers correctly, Tang Xiu ate very happily when the crew gave out ice cream every day during the hot weather. It was because of that that he asked his assistant to buy desserts. Could it be that he was being smart? up?

Jiang Qiao was pondering the thoughts of his ancestor, when Tang Xiu said lightly, "I think you are too stingy, teacher. Two years ago, you promised to be the most eye-catching protagonist, but now..."

"But there is only one most eye-catching protagonist," Jiang Qiao smiled helplessly, and said in a low voice, "The best...don't I want to leave it to you? No matter how proud a student is, he is just a student...you What's the matter today, I've been complaining for Shen Simo, have you two met before?"

Tang Xiu didn't say a word, but the atmosphere in the room seemed to suddenly become better, I don't know if it was an illusion.Jiang Qiao sighed inwardly, maybe the ancestor was in a bad mood today, and it wasn't suitable for him to make love with him.So he put the dessert back into the bag, stood up and said, "If you don't eat it, I'll take it back. In fact, you played the role of Wu Boliang very well, beyond my imagination. But I can't always praise you in front of people, right?" , don't stress too much, eh?"

Tang Xiu sat on the bed and looked up at him. His black eyes were shining brightly. Jiang Qiao couldn't figure out how a person who had lived for 1 years could have such clear and ignorant eyes.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and the ancestor suddenly opened his lips and said, "You have no taste in your mouth, so keep what you eat."

Jiang Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled, "Okay, I'll let you have this, and you have a taste."

"Ah."

After Jiang Qiao walked out of Tang Xiu's room, he didn't know that he had been locked away for a while, and was about to go back to the room when his cell phone rang suddenly, and the calling number was "unknown".

-"Hello."

- "Teacher, I'm here."

- "It's here." Jiang Qiao raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, "Have you entered the film and television city?"

Shen Simo replied quickly, the door behind Jiang Qiao was pulled open from the inside, and Tang Xiu came out and stood by the door frame.Jiang Qiao thought he had something to do, so he said to Shen Simo, "The dormitory should have been arranged, and I'll have my assistant wait for you at the gate of the film and television city. You can settle down first when you enter the group. It's too late today, see you tomorrow morning. "

Jiang Qiao and Shen Simo spoke softer than the other actors, but they still had a calm majesty.Shen Simo didn't know what to say, Jiang Qiao said seriously: "What kind of wine to drink, the first scene will be your play tomorrow morning, have you read the script?"

Tang Xiu quietly watched Jiang Qiao put on the show. After a while, Jiang Qiao reprimanded him lightly, "I was brought up by the Italians to be a prostitute, so please restrain yourself when you join the crew. Have you grown up with me in the past two years?" You can tell at a glance that this crew is all seniors, you should learn more."

"Well, hang up."

Jiang Qiao put the phone away, put it in his pocket, turned to Tang Xiu and smiled, "What's wrong?"

Tang Xiu shook his head, "Seeing how majestic the teacher is in charge of the students."

Jiang Qiao inexplicably felt a little embarrassed, "Two years ago he was indeed a very good kid, but his age in his twenties changes a lot every year, and I'm not sure he's still the same as before. But his professional skills will never go backwards. Let's see tomorrow." Let's see."

Tang Xiu raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, "What do you mean? If it doesn't work, do you still want to change?"

"Of course." Jiang Qiao said with a look of reason, "There are more than 20 shots of the human national teacher, and there are several major plot twists. If he can't do it, why should I give in?"

Tang Xiu let out a deep and unfathomable voice, and while turning back to the room, he said, "Then I'll also go back and continue reading the script. It will be a disaster if the filming fails one day and the director takes it away."

As soon as the door was closed, Jiang Qiao's face was full of bewilderment.Tang Xiu came out and said some sarcastic remarks, but he faintly felt that this person was in an extremely good mood.

Jiang Qiao subconsciously licked his lips, frowned and stared at the closed door for a few seconds, then shook his head and gave up.

He couldn't guess what the old ancestor was thinking.

……

Tang Xiu met Shen Simo early the next morning.On Weibo, he was delicate and youthful two years ago, but now the man standing not far away looks more serious and steady, with a hint of sharpness.As he approached, Jiang Qiao was talking to Shen Simo about the scene he was going to shoot later, when he looked up and saw Tang Xiu coming, he said to Shen Simo, "Let's say hello."

As soon as Shen Simo raised his head, he smiled and stretched out his hand, "Hello senior, my name is Shen Simo."

This is the first person in the circle called Senior Tang Xiu.Tang Xiu shook hands with him, "Tang Xiu."

This person's eyes are clear, but it seems that he is always hiding something. The atmosphere around him is considered approachable, but also maintains a sense of distance.Tang Xiu didn't know him before, but his instinct of walking thousands of years told him that there would be something of his interest in this person.

So he stood aside with a smile, holding the script while listening to Shen Simo and Jiang Qiao's conversation intentionally or unconsciously.

"I will use a long lens to go down this one first, and finally I will take two shots at the fixed point, and grab a close-up." Jiang Qiao pointed to the point arranged by the props group in the distance, "This line is almost all on Chen Bing. You mainly It is the interpretation of actions and expressions. I was not particularly satisfied with the version shot by Wang Yu before. The national teacher of the human race knows the way of heaven but is a bit evil. You need to think more about your attitude."

"Okay." Shen Simo nodded, and then smiled again: "The teacher needs to be more tolerant of the newcomer's first shot. If I fail in acting, you can scold me lightly, you have a thin skin."

Jiang Qiao put on a classic poker face, "Thin-skinned? I didn't think you were thin-skinned when you invited me out for a drink in the middle of the night last night."

Shen Simo took two steps back, "Hey, I haven't been back for a long time, I wanted to have sex with you and almost hugged my thighs, but I didn't even give a chance."

Jiang Qiao glanced at him, "It's useless to come too late, let's get ready, Chen Bing should be ready soon."

After Shen Simo left, Tang Xiu went over, looked at his back, and said softly, "Your student looks quite interesting."

"Is it interesting?" Jiang Qiao's expression was a little helpless and uncertain, "I feel that he is indeed different from before. He has lost that youthful spirit, his eyes hide things, and he is not as clear as before. "

Tang Xiu glanced at him, "You can see this?"

Jiang Qiao sighed, "I just feel that I can't say what happened to him in the past two years, as long as it doesn't affect the filming."

Sure enough, it is still the logic of the robber director as always.

Tang Xiu suddenly felt that he was a little out of his mind when he was angry yesterday, but luckily this guy didn't notice from the beginning to the end.Jiang Qiao usually has a sharp eye for people, but when it comes to chasing people and falling in love, he is slower than him, a loner who has been alone for thousands of years.

The old ancestor heaved a sigh of relief, and put down the script, "I'm going to schedule today's play until ten o'clock in the morning, right? I'll go back and sleep for a while."

Jiang Qiao smiled, "I was thinking just now, it's rare that you don't have to get up early, why are you so diligent today."

Hearing this, Tang Xiu glanced back at him, and a certain director immediately put away his teasing expression.

People with seniority also have big tempers.

endured.

Tang Xiu originally wanted to go back and sleep for a while, but just as he walked into the building, he suddenly heard several staff members talking together.The shoes on his feet walked silently, and the few people didn't notice him coming in. He vaguely heard the names of Jiang Qiao and Shen Simo, so he stopped to listen for a while.

- "Hey, why do you think Shen Simo is so humble and willing to join the group this time?"

- "Didn't you say that you have finished school? If you want to develop in the mainland, it is of course best to join our crew."

- "He is a child of a wealthy family without a heart, and sooner or later he will enter the industry. If he accepted Director Jiang's invitation two years ago, he might be very popular now. How can he be so aggrieved when he takes a supporting role like he is now. Showbiz What they are fighting for is opportunities and resources, and they don’t value returnees.”

- "What you said, since you are a son of a wealthy family, you don't care whether you are popular fast or slow."

- "He's a wealthy man? No, he came here by taxi yesterday, without even an assistant or manager around him."

- "It's normal that he hasn't had time to find a team just after returning to China. He probably doesn't have a brokerage contract yet, so he was directly recruited by Director Jiang."

After those few people said these words, they lifted up a huge prop board with their hands together, and turned to the door.Tang Xiu passed them by, and they all smiled friendly when they saw Tang Xiu, "Hey, are you waiting for the mirror?"

Tang Xiu smiled politely, "Yes."

"Come on, the director likes you." One of them said.

Tang Xiu nodded, turned around to let them carry the heavy props over, turned his head and glanced at the backs of those people, his black eyes were slightly scrutinized.

The son of a wealthy family came here by taxi, without even an assistant or manager by his side...

At the beginning, Jiang Qiao was very appreciative of Tang Xiu's decision to sign with the W Group. He had analyzed with him the benefits of making his debut in a formal agency, and he had been dictating the selection of an agent.Although it is not ruled out that an unscrupulous director has been giving him special attention out of selfishness, Shen Simo is a cherished student after all, and letting him join the group wildly does not seem to fit Jiang Qiaoxi's worry-loving style.

Shen Simo's first shot didn't seem to be going well. Tang Xiu's shot was originally scheduled at ten o'clock, but when he arrived at the scene after putting on makeup and changing clothes, there were still two shots in front of him.Shen Simo took off his makeup and came out, Tang Xiu knew at a glance that it was his camera that delayed the process.

The crew was resting, and the props crew was adjusting the equipment. Shen Simo walked over to Jiang Qiao and said a few words, but he couldn't hear clearly from a distance, but his expression was a little embarrassed.

Jiang Qiao looked up at him, judging from the shape of his mouth, he should have said something like it was not bad in the end.Shen Simo was obviously relieved when he heard this, he turned around and took out a document with a transparent cover from his bag, and handed it to Jiang Qiao.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Qiao took a look and threw the things on the table, his brows were full of shock and anger, and asked, "What does this mean?"

Shen Simo's face turned pale, he glanced at Tang Xiu not far away from the corner of his eye, put the documents back into the bag, said something in a bit of embarrassment, and then hurried back to the dormitory.

Zhang Kaixing came out of the locker room, and greeted Tang Xiu, "Hey, let's go for a while before the machine is turned on."

Tang Xiu agreed, took the script from his assistant and walked over.In this scene, Zhang Kaixing made a few big moves, while stretching his hamstrings, he asked, "Did you watch Shen Simo's filming this morning?"

"No, go back and catch up on sleep."

"Oh. Young people feel great." Zhang Kaixing didn't take it seriously, "I came out this morning for a sneak peek, he is quite good, he enters the scene quickly and can bring emotions."

"Ah."

Seeing Tang Xiu thoughtful, Zhang Kaixing smiled and said, "Are you feeling a sense of crisis? No need, I have worked with Director Jiang for so many years, and I have never seen him care about anyone before, and you are no worse than Shen Simo."

Tang Xiu smiled when he heard the words, he didn't feel a sense of crisis, he just thought Shen Simo was very interesting.Indistinctly, he smelled the breath of a great soul, but he didn't know whether it would be good or evil.

During dinner, Jiang Qiao suddenly said, "Li Ziping is here, he might be on the set soon."

Tang Xiu was surprised when he heard this, "He didn't tell me."

Jiang Qiao hummed, "Before I didn't allow the managers of the two leading actors to join the group, so he asked me for instructions directly. You have been in the limelight these past two days, and it is easy to recruit black people. Let your manager come and stay by your side for comparison." Safe, and efficient when there is something to communicate.”

Tang Xiu snorted.He focused on filming in the crew every day, but he never thought about the impact of Wu Boliang's overnight popularity.

It was past ten o'clock when Li Ziping entered the set. He was full of travel and dust, like an old woman. As soon as he entered the set, he had no time to pack his own things, so he went to Tang Xiu's room to look around.

"I didn't say you. Those who knew thought you were filming, and those who didn't know thought you were a monk." Li Ziping sighed at the empty wardrobe and the bathroom sink, which was cleaner than his face, "At that time I saw you As soon as you pack your luggage, you know that your little broken box can't hold anything, and sure enough, you don't know how to add something when you get to the set."

Tang Xiu felt helpless, "I don't need it."

"Don't say you don't need your ancestors." Li Ziping took out a card from his bag and put it in his pocket, "It's almost autumn, if you don't take care of yourself now, your face will be scummed and you won't even be able to put on makeup. Director Jiang will scold you to death." You? And you see that you have been skinny and skinny in the crew for more than a month. The reporter probably said that director Jiang only let the actors work and did not let the actors eat. Go for a walk, go out for a late night snack, and go to the nearby supermarket to buy some for you Daily necessities."

Tang Xiu was speechless, the mirror was next to him, and he took a look.His figure has not changed from before. He seems to have always been this figure for 1 years, and his weight rarely fluctuates by more than two or three catties.

This manager is indeed dear, looking at him through the filter of his own mother.

"Let's not go, I'm tired, and there are too many people in the supermarket. The director said that there might be tabloid reporters coming to squat recently."

Li Ziping waved his hand, "When I came here, I saw that the security guards of the film and television city cleared the area, but if you're tired, I'll go buy some stuff later, and we'll go out for a late-night snack, and I'll tell you about the next work arrangement."

"Next?"

"That's right." Li Ziping took it for granted, ""Fox Killing Terrace" will be finished in a month or so, and the role of Wu Boliang can only be shown on the screen for half a month, you have to maintain your exposure rate You have acted bravely a few times before. Although you are not popular enough, you have a good image on CCTV. Recently, CCTV’s father has a program, you can try it.”

"What program?"

Li Ziping pushed him, "Go out and say it, you're always suffocating in this hut, you must be suffering from depression."

Tang Xiu had no choice but to go out with Li Ziping.Li Ziping was more familiar with the film and television city than he was, so he picked a small restaurant at random, and the environment inside was quite quiet.

Recently, there have been more production crews in the film and television city, and there are also many people at night. Tang Xiu and the others were lucky and caught up with the last small private room. Awkward.

Li Ziping looked down at the menu, Tang Xiu casually picked up the cup to drink tea, but just as the cup was put to his lips, a person suddenly came from outside the door curtain.

Through the space under the curtain, one can see that the visitor is wearing a pair of casual shoes. The camel-colored lambskin looks very soft, but it is a bit old, and it is covered with lines. It is obvious that it has not been sent to a special leather maintenance shop for a long time. Pass.

Tang Xiu knew this pair of shoes, it belonged to Shen Simo.

He put down the teacup calmly. Li Ziping pointed to the menu and was about to ask him for his opinion. He hissed softly, signaling Li Ziping not to speak.

Shen Simo was on the phone and just stopped outside Tang Xiu's curtain. Although he deliberately lowered his voice, he could still vaguely hear the content at a short distance.

"I have received the contract, I have to take a look at it here, and I will fax it back to you tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

……

"Well, don't worry, the terms are as agreed before, if there is no change, there will be no problem."

……

"Well, if you don't make an appointment within five years, you won't leave."

……

The waiter came over and asked, "Who are you, sir?"

Shen Simo said to the other end of the phone: "Wait a moment, I'll find a place to sit down."

He was led by the waiter to the booth in the distance, and his voice gradually became inaudible.

Li Ziping took a deep breath, "I hear this voice is familiar...Let me think about it...Eh, isn't it, Shen Simo?"

Tang Xiu hummed, "You know him too?"

"Can you not know him? The man of the year..." Li Ziping sighed and felt wrong, "Didn't he go out for further studies?"

"The director just scooped it up to replace Wang Yu in the role of the human national teacher."

Li Ziping looked a little surprised, "Join your crew? That's not right. I went to the manager's office yesterday to listen to the meeting. I didn't hear that Shen Simo signed the contract. But if he joins Director Jiang's crew, W will definitely want him. Why? Hearing this, you signed with another house?"

Tang Xiu glanced at the door curtain and said softly, "I don't know either."
