Xiao Jiashu only smokes when he is depressed. Now that he is in a good mood, he naturally does not need the comfort of nicotine. He extinguished the cigarette butt, and worriedly told Ji Mian to smoke less before leaving. Ji Mian stared at Le Taotao's back, and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
"Why did you start chatting with him?" Shi Tingheng came out of the box, also holding a pack of cigarettes in his hand, "I drank Luo Zhangwei a few glasses of wine just now and found out something. This young master Xiao's family is very wealthy and has a very strong background. It's incredible, I took the role of Ling Feng directly without even going to the audition, no wonder no one at the wine table ignored him, and even the director dared to show his face when he spoke."
"Luo Zhangwei's old problem hasn't changed yet?" Ji Mian smiled disapprovingly. Although Luo Zhangwei usually talks a lot, he still knows what to say and what not to say. However, once he drinks too much, his mouth becomes a big trumpet. Because of this, he has also been sacked several times by unknown persons.
"It's much better now than before, and I hired an assistant to help him stop drinking." Shi Tingheng lit a cigarette and continued, "I heard that Xiao Jiashu just graduated this year and studied financial management, so he has no foundation in acting. He played against him in the crew. The most people are you, you have to be mentally prepared."
"It's all from the same company, just take a group of juniors, it's nothing." Ji Mian waved.
"You really have a good temper. What I'm most afraid of is bringing new people. It's a lot of trouble! A young man who just graduated from college and is studying in the Department of Finance, does he have any acting skills? If it weren't for his tough background, Director Luo would never agree to employ people. No wonder he would drink it when anyone toasted Director Luo today. This is a fire in his heart." Shi Tingheng seemed to think of something, and couldn't help shaking his head, "These second-generation rich are really... They can't read or study. Work and work are not good. When they find out that the entertainment industry is making money soon, they want to come and eat. They think it is easy to be an actor? Can you turn red with just one face? Tsk tsk... "
Ji Mian was silent for a moment, then smashed the cigarette butt, and said seriously, "I still know whether he is good at acting or not. Didn't you find out? He graduated from Wharton School with a master's degree. By the way, he just started this year. Twenty." Then he walked away.
Shi Tingheng was stunned for a long time before he spit out a circle of eyes, "Fuck, since I can be admitted to Wharton Business School and graduated with a master's degree, what kind of entertainment is there? I can't think of it!"

Xiao Jiashu returned to the box and found that the director had been drinking too high, and was being held by two assistants. He was about to leave the venue. The rest of the creative staff were still entertaining and did not seem to plan to leave early. You must know that Shi Tingheng and Ji Mian have not left, whoever misses the opportunity to befriend them is a fool.
Huang Meixuan finally waited for Young Master Xiao to come back, and hurriedly pushed the filled wine glass over, and explained in a low voice, "Go, get to know the actors in the crew, each toast, you don't need to drink too much."
"I don't like drinking," Xiao Jiashu pushed the wine glass away and emphasized, "I also don't want to know the people in the crew. I'll leave after filming, who knows who I am?"
"You kid..." Huang Meixuan was interrupted by Huang Zijin before he finished speaking, "Sister, don't force Xiaoshu. He has just entered the circle, so he has to get used to it first."
"What's there to get used to, it's all basic communication..." The siblings quarreled over whether to toast or not. Fortunately, the voices were not loud and the expressions were not ugly, so they didn't attract the attention of others.
Xiao Jiashu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly picked up his chopsticks to eat. Before he started acting, he was already tired of this circle. It's no wonder that outsiders call the entertainment industry Vanity Fair. Here, you don't care about your identity, education, or morality. As long as you have a face that turns all living beings upside down, you can soar. In this circle, you can climb fast, climb high, and fall down just as quickly.
Xiao Jiashu doesn't like the glitz and hustle of this circle, so naturally he doesn't like acting. Fortunately, there are not many scenes for him. If it goes well, it can be done in a month. While he was burying his head in his food, the actors at the next table were constantly looking over here.
Since it is Vanity Fair, there are primary, secondary, and inferior. When arranging the banquet, the main creators and the dispensable ordinary employees will not be in the same box; the director, starring, producers, investors and actors with few roles will not be in the same table. If the positions were arranged according to the coffee positions, Xiao Jiashu would never be able to sit between the director and Ji Mian, but he did, and his attitude was so arrogant that he had to be looked at.
Miao Muqing, the female lead of the crew, was supposed to sit in Xiao Jiashu's seat, but just before the banquet, she found out that her brand name had been placed on the next table, and a fire had already been held in her stomach. She folded her arms and her face was ashen. She only waited for the person who was vying for the seat to come, and then she started the trouble. In the end, the person came, but she couldn't make the trouble, because the manager of the other party was Huang Meixuan, and the assistant was Huang Zijin. How top is this? Even if you think about it with your knees, you know that Young Master Xiao's background is definitely not simple.
Miao Muqing's anger suddenly became hot, and she didn't have the heart to socialize with the people at the same table. She only concentrated on waiting for the opportunity to get close to Young Master Xiao.
"Sister Miao, I'll give you a toast. I heard that you also graduated from Media University? I'm your junior..." Lin Leyang filled a glass of wine and handed it to Miao Muqing respectfully, but the other party didn't appreciate it, and even A little impatient, he pushed the glass away and said coldly, "Drink it yourself. My skin has been dry recently, so I can't drink too much."
The spilled liquor spilled all over Lin Leyang, but he had to restrain his temper and said warmly, "Then Sister Miao, you must pay more attention to your body. I'll drink this glass of wine, you can do whatever you want." All in one drink. But he made enough gestures, but Miao Muqing didn't even look at it, and walked towards Xiao Jiashu at the next table with a glass of red wine in his hand, with a bright smile on his face. She leaned down and leaned into Xiao Jiashu's ear to speak, Xiao Jiashu raised his glass and touched her, then took a sip. His attitude was not enthusiastic, and he even gradually showed an impatient look. She seemed to feel it, and after a few more words, she walked away angrily and talked to several investors.
Lin Leyang looked at this scene as if he was looking at a mirror, but the roles of himself and Miao Muqing were switched. He suddenly felt very injustice, and there was a vague sense of resentment that had nowhere to vent. This resentment caused his eyes to turn red. But he soon saw Ji Mian striding in. He was so handsome, so elegant, and he exuded an extraordinary aura, which was eye-catching. Miao Muqing, who was hooking up with investors everywhere, couldn't stand the temptation. He walked over to him, but was blocked by him raising his hand, with a very cold attitude.
Seeing this, Lin Leyang's full of resentment dissipated at once, and the corners of his mouth twitched quietly. It seemed that he had a good heart, and Ji Mian also looked at him with tenderness in his eyes. He walked to the second table unhurriedly, and said in a low voice, "Come on, I'll show you around and meet a few seniors."
"Okay, thank you Brother Ji." Lin Leyang picked up the wine glass and followed behind him. He seemed restrained, but he was actually trying to hold back his laughter. If these people knew that Ji Mian was their lover, what kind of expressions would they show? You must be so frightened that your eyes pop out of your sockets, right? The more Lin Leyang thought about it, the happier he almost laughed.
Ji Mian glanced back at him, her expression showing helplessness and doting.
When other actors were busy expanding their contacts, Xiao Jiashu had already eaten and drank and left. Anyway, he doesn't intend to mix in this circle, it really doesn't matter if he is not well-connected.

The next day, the crew of "The Apostle" officially started, and the director deliberately concentrated the less difficult scenes on this day to avoid too many NGs that would bring bad luck.
Xiao Jiashu stood on the periphery holding a cup of coffee, with a casual look on his face. Huang Zijin pointed to the venue being filmed and said, "Look, that's the main camera, which shoots the panorama, and that's the sub-camera, which shoots close-ups. You have to walk over there and stand by the wall. , it takes only a few cameras to capture your expression. This is your position. If you can't move well, no matter how good your acting skills are, you will be empty because you can't find your person on the screen. Also, you have to pay attention to the lighting when you are standing. Which way to hit, try not to let yourself be backlit…”
Huang Zijin demonstrated while pointing, and finally comforted, "Don't be nervous, this scene is very simple, you can shoot it well."
Xiao Jiashu's IQ was not low, and he was taught by hand, so he naturally learned it quickly, nodded and said, "Don't worry, Brother Jin, I understand." Let's talk about family affairs and business affairs? It's totally possible to act as a character.
When he was complacent, Fang Kun, who was standing not far away, shook his head and said, "I've never seen an artist who asked a teacher to teach on the spot when he was acting. Master Xiao is really unique."
Ji Mian smiled and said nothing. Lin Leyang looked at Xiao Jiashu, full of envy. He is not a professional, and he has to learn while filming, but he does not have the conditions like Xiao Jiashu, and he can only ask the star maker to give pointers on the spot, and he can only rely on his own efforts. In the future, I will be more diligent on the set, have a good relationship with the director and several assistant directors, watch more, ask more, and study more, and naturally I will learn a lot. Thinking like this, his slight imbalance disappeared, leaving only a firm belief.
Ji Mian patted him on the shoulder at this moment, and said with a chuckle, "Do you think that Huang Zijin is better or I am better in terms of acting?"
"Of course Brother Ji is amazing." Lin Leyang looked adored.
"Xiao Jiashu has Huang Zijin as a teacher, you have me, there is nothing to envy." Ji Mian rubbed her little boyfriend's forehead.
Lin Leyang didn't expect Ji Mian to see his careful thoughts. His cheeks couldn't help but blushed. He murmured for a long time before whispering, "Thank you, Brother Ji. In the future, if there is something you don't understand, please teach me more." People, he didn't dare to show his love, lest he would implicate Ji Mian. How could Ji Mian be so good, so good that he couldn't describe it!
"OK, this is over, Xiao Jiashu and Ji Mian are ready to play!" Director Luo's loud voice interrupted this warm and moving moment, which also made Fang Kun secretly relieved. It's clear that they can't behave intimately, so why can't these two people hold back? He immediately pushed Ji Mian forward and urged, "Go, go, and experience Young Master Xiao's acting skills." If he really had that thing.
