The filming fell into the curse of non-stop NG, and the atmosphere of the crew became more and more rigid. In the audience, the students acting as group performers also had unnatural expressions, and their probing eyes were fixed on Su Jishi, as if they had already decided that she was just a beautiful vase actress.
Fang Jie called a stop urgently, and said a few good words to the director, saying that Su Jin had a fever yesterday and her body had just recovered, so she was a little out of shape. The director couldn't tell that this was an excuse, but at least he let go and gave everyone a 20-minute break. Fang Jie hurriedly took advantage of the gap and dragged Su Jishi back to the lounge.
As soon as he entered the waiting room, Su Jishi's hair exploded: "I said a long time ago that I will reveal my secrets when I shoot a movie!" Su Jishi is really not suitable to be an actor, she can't act, and she hasn't taken a systematic acting training class , I don’t know how to express my feelings with eyes, body and language.
It is understandable that Su Jishi can't act well-but "Su Jin" can't act well, this is a big mistake.
Fang Jie has been a manager for so many years, so he has more experience than her in this regard.
"Sister Su, don't worry, you are actually better than I imagined." Fang Jie first put a top hat on her, "Many people stand in front of the camera for the first time, and even their movements are stiff. At least you behave Be generous and unrestrained."
He also said: "Don't look at the fact that there are so many stars in the entertainment industry, there are not many people who can really act. Especially those idols who come from singing and dancing, they can't act, but fans want to watch and agencies want to make money. Push them in front of the camera and force them to act. In fact, when they act, the characters are all the same—they are all playing themselves.”
For example, if an idol is a warm-hearted talker in real life, then assign him the role of a gentle and noble son; If you need to act out your true self in front of the camera, you can easily complete the task without making the audience feel like you are acting.
In fact, in this tailor-made movie for Su Jin, the heroine's character was created based on Su Jinqing's real personality. However, Su Jishi's personality is completely opposite to that of his younger sister. It is really difficult for her to play the role of a weak little white flower.
"How about this, Sister Su, let me give you an idea." Fang explained, "Don't even think about acting. Now you put your own experience on this character... Have you ever been bullied by others? You Have you ever felt helpless? Have you ever felt particularly wronged?"
"No, no, no." Su Jishi was categorical, "I have always retaliated with revenge and grievances; when I first went to the United States, I encountered racial discrimination a few times, but I beat them back face to face."
"Uh... how about going further? When you haven't left the country?"
"Not to mention, I'm very popular in school, and the boys who want to date me can be ranked in the school next door!"
"Then go on, go on, go on. It doesn't have to come from a classmate, I just want you to recall a helpless and wronged mentality, Sister Su, no matter how good you are, you will never Maybe there is an iron skull when it hits the ground?"
Su Jishi frowned slightly: "I told you I didn't..." Her words were cut off suddenly.
"...?"
She seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and the girl's expression was blank for a moment, as if a strange emotion quickly poured into her body.
Fang Jie has been with the two sisters for a long time, and he has always been confident that he can distinguish the two of them—but at this second, the clear boundary between them disappeared. Fang Jie was in a daze, and suddenly realized that Su Jishi was so much like her younger sister.
"You're right, I'm either born or I'm invulnerable."
"..."
In one sentence, the story was brought into her past memories by her: "My parents and I divorced when we were eight years old."
Su Jishi spoke very fast, as if she was watching a boring movie, and she desperately fast forwarded, trying to skip the boring plot in the middle. "My father is a very irresponsible person. For him, getting married and having children is just to complete the tasks of a certain stage in life. When the time came, it was time to get married, so he met my mother; when the time came, it was time to have children. He has a child, so there is us. He has thin feelings, and in his eyes, the three of us are like beautiful dolls placed at home, and we don’t need to communicate. In his heart, the most important person is always himself.”
"But my mother is a very romantic person. She is a music teacher. She taught us singing and sent us to dance lessons. Every time she came back from the dance class, she would put one arm around my sister and the other around me. Kissed our cheeks and said we were her most precious treasure... At the age of eight, she finally couldn't stand her husband's neglect and decided to divorce him."
"But," Su Jishi let out a heavy breath, "but on the day she left, she told us that she couldn't afford to support two children—only one could be taken away."
Hearing this, Fang Xie's breathing became lighter.
"I chased after her, kept crying, and kept asking her why. I said that I am not afraid of suffering and starvation, as long as the three of us are together, I don't want a new dress, a cake, or a doll. I just want her... But she didn't turn back."
Before this, Fang Jie had never understood why the relationship between Su Jishi and Su Jinqing was so strange. Even if the parents divorced, the twin daughters shouldn't be so strange. The two sisters haven't seen each other for ten years, and my sister didn't even know about the news of her mother's death. After returning to China, my sister didn't mention the worship...
It wasn't until this moment that the truth came to light.
"That was the first time in my life that I felt helpless and wronged, and it was also the last time." After finishing the long series of words, Su Jishi closed his eyes slightly, covering all the expressions in his eyes.
Jinqing has a mother, but she doesn't have a father. She can only wrap herself in layers of hard substances like a sedimentary rock, endure as high a temperature as possible, and undergo a lot of tempering, and finally she is what she is now.
The emotion came and went even faster. When she raised her eyes again, the brilliance disappeared, leaving only an impenetrable fog in the depths of her pupils.
"Don't worry," she said, "When the filming starts later, I will act with this feeling."
…
After 20 minutes of trimming, when Su Jin appeared on the set again, her acting skills could be described as improving by leaps and bounds.
In the same opening scene, when Su Jin turned around, her deep eyes looked at Zhou Jing with hurt, her brows were slightly frowned, and the two rows of thick eyelashes trembled slightly—the next second, a crystal teardrop rolled down from the corner of her eye , fell on her collarbone, and shattered into crystal flowers.
Zhou Jing: "..."
On this day, Su Jin took some kind of overlord's magic medicine, and she was too extravagant for herself! ! !
The director, who was sitting behind the monitor, was overjoyed, and hurriedly gestured to the camera, telling him to push the camera over quickly. Su Jin's facial features are naturally exquisite, and under the skillful hands of the makeup artist, she has a delicate and pitiful beauty. And this teardrop that fell unexpectedly, just like the tears rolling down from the petals, aroused the deepest protection desire in everyone's heart, just want to send the palm of your hand to catch this piece of sadness.
The shot that was stuck for a long time, finally passed one! The director was beaming, and played this scene repeatedly, the more he watched it, the more he liked it.
As for the group acting students sitting in the lecture theater, they were even more impressed by Su Jin's tears - who said Su Jin can't act! ! Now drag out and castrate for half an hour! ! Baby Jinjin, stop crying, just fall into my arms! ! !
Just when everyone was immersed in that drop of tears, Su Jishi covered his face and quickly jumped down from the podium, grabbed Ah Shan and ran to the lounge.
Ah Shan was dizzy and felt like a giant kite, being dragged behind him and flying at low altitude.
"Sister Su, what's wrong?" He asked out of breath.
Su Jishi: "Damn, I cried so happily just now, the fake mole in the corner of my eye seems to have been wiped away by my crying!"
"..."

The filming of the morning scene was finally finished, and at twelve o'clock at noon, the crew stopped work on time to rest. The students who had been group performers in the classroom all morning stood up from their seats and gathered together in twos and threes to discuss the "harvest" of this morning.
"I'm so bored!" a boy said, "I was supposed to be in the lower bunk, but he didn't get up this morning, so he gave me the place. I thought it would be interesting to film a movie, but I didn't expect that even the NPC in the game It’s not as good as staying here, reading books over and over again, I would have known that I would stay for a few more novels.”
"That's right. Isn't this a school drama? How can students sit in their seats and read books during recess? Is it because eating chicken isn't fun, or because variety shows aren't good?"
"Hahaha, it's time for recess, I see you play with your mobile phone a lot during class!"
Everyone complained about each other. They are all eighteen or nineteen-year-old children. They have just stepped into the university gate, and they feel strange about everything they see. Jobs like group acting in movies are not something you can come across casually. Don't look at their complaints now, they are actually smiling.
"By the way, didn't you say that the group performers are in charge of the meals? It's past twelve o'clock, why hasn't the meal been served yet?" A fat boy rubbed Lei Ming's stomach. When they are growing up, they are so hungry that their eyes glow green.
"Yeah, why don't you have lunch yet." "I heard that the boxed lunches of the film crew are terrible."
While talking, the assistant director in charge of the extras walked in with his hands behind his back. He waved his hand and showed eight teeth to the children: "Come on, the box lunch is ready, everyone come and eat!"
In an instant, a dozen or so hungry wolves in the classroom rushed out, stretched their teeth and clawed their way to the incubator, and grabbed the lunch box.
The assistant director said: "Everyone, don't worry, the lads have a big appetite, there are still a few spare boxes here, you all take them to eat."
Soon, the lunch boxes were divided up. The boxed lunches of the crew were uniformly ordered, and the other staff also received their boxed lunches, and each of them found a corner and ate them.
Two meat and one vegetarian, balanced nutrition, the box lunch of the crew is not very fragrant, but after a hard work all morning, smelling the fragrant oily smell in the air, unknowingly increases people's appetite.
Su Jishi sat on the rest chair with her name written on it, looked left and right, and noticed something was wrong.
Su Jishi: "Fang Jie, how about our lunch?"
Fang Jie belatedly said "Ah": "That's right, where's our lunch?!"
Just a few meters away from them, Assistant Zhou Jing took out a nutritious lunch prepared in advance. As soon as the lunch box was opened, a Cobb salad composed of quinoa, avocado, chicken breast, lettuce, and purple cabbage was assembled into a rainbow shape. exquisite.
Zhou Jing glanced at Su Jishi, and asked hypocritically: "Oh, it could be that the crew forgot to order a meal for our Teacher Su, right? What about Teacher Su's assistant, there was such a big mistake, why didn't we see her?"
Aunt Xiaoxia was in pain today, so Su Jishi didn't let her follow her, and only brought Fang Jie and Ah Shan with her. According to common sense, the crew should be responsible for ordering food when filming, but as a result, no one checked the matter when Xiaoxia was away.
Fang Jie hurried to ask the crew.
As a result... I really didn't order food for them.
The logistics are also stupid: when filming before, Su Jin never ate the crew's boxed lunch, and every time the meal came, there was a special takeaway from a five-star restaurant, so they took it for granted that Su Jin would also cook a small meal today.
"..." Su Ji was convinced. Before Su Jin was taken care of by Mu Xiulun, a big benefactor, she naturally arranged her basic necessities, food, housing and transportation; but she, Su Jishi, had already "broke up" with Mu Xiulun, so she couldn't eat takeaway from a five-star hotel when she was filming. .
Seeing that her expression was wrong, Ah Shan hurriedly reminded: "A good girl can't swear!"
Su Jishi: "I don't swear." She turned to Fang Jie, "It's not a big deal if you don't order lunch. Why don't we just stay in the university town, find a student to help with errands, and go to the cafeteria to order some food."
Fang Jie: "Okay, then what to eat?"
Su Jishi smiled slightly: "Then eat... braised chicken."
Ah Shan: "..."
Su Jishi: "Or a large plate of chicken."
Ah Shan: "..."
Su Jishi began to report the names of the dishes: "Roasted chicken, fried chicken, braised chicken, beggar's chicken..."
While reporting the name of the dish, she looked at Ah Shan, her eyes said: Look, I didn't swear.
Fang Jie was thrown down by this series of chickens, dizzy and dizzy, and quickly stopped: "No, no, no, no! Miss Su, Teacher Su, Miss Su! Don't forget that you are still in the fat loss period, you can't eat any of these things !!"
Su Jishi said confidently: "Usually I stay at home, and it's fine if you feed me grass. It's so hard to come out to film today, can't I improve my life?"
Fang Jie gritted his teeth and retreated: "If you really want to eat meat, you can eat a salad without dressing like Teacher Zhou..."
"Have you ever seen a university cafeteria that also serves salad?" This is not in the United States. Although her alma mater's restaurant serves Asian dishes, they are all sweet and greasy Chinese noodles. Eating that kind of food is not as good as eating salad or eating burgers.
Fang Jie didn't believe in evil, he searched the classroom, and called the little group performer who had just played.
Coincidentally, it is a freshly baked little girl named Li Juan.
Li Juan has been eavesdropping for a long time, alas, although the image of Su Jin and the gentle and dignified one on TV is much different, she likes this Su Jin who laughs, scolds and has a temper now even more! Li Juan leaned over and obediently stood in front of Fang Jie.
Fang Jie asked, just as Su Jishi expected, the cafeteria of this university does not serve salad at all.
Fang Jie had no choice but to settle for the next best thing: "Do you have boiled vegetables in the cafeteria? For example, boiled spinach, boiled broccoli, boiled snow peas, and boiled asparagus?"
The little girl felt distressed: "Huh? Teacher Su eats this at noon..."
Fearing that he would be charged with abusing an artist, Fang Jie hurriedly said, "It's not that we don't give her meat! But she is reducing fat, so the meat she can eat is limited. But seafood is edible, such as boiled shrimp, steamed fish, grilled salmon... "
Su Jishi interrupted him: "In short, I can only eat boiled seafood, right?"
"yes."
"That's fine." Su Jishi directly took out a hundred yuan from Ah Shan's wallet, and put it into the little girl's hand, "Did you hear that? Just follow what my manager said, and buy me a portion of boiled fish."
Fang Jie: "... ???"
Ah Shan: "...???"
Li Juan said sweetly: "Hey! Good!"

At the north gate of University City, a limousine slowly drove into the campus along the main road.
The University City is located in the north of the city. It was officially completed ten years ago. Several well-known universities have moved some colleges here. After years of development, the University City has become a famous landmark in the capital. It has a large area and abundant supporting facilities around it. There are more than 100,000 students living here.
Looking at the familiar street scene on both sides of the road, the man sitting in the back of the car showed a nostalgic smile: "I didn't expect it to be so many years since I graduated."
"Yeah, at that time you came to class frequently, and you always sat in the first row. Not a student of our academy, not even a student of our school!"
Beside the man sat an old man with gray hair. Although his hair is white, it is neatly combed with pomade, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses rests on the bridge of his nose. He looks very much like an older generation of intellectuals. He was dressed in clean and tidy clothes, but it was not a famous brand. There was a brown leather briefcase on his lap. It looked old, but it was not damaged, and he cherished it very much.
"I also want to thank Dean Zhang for being merciful and not throwing me out." The man smiled.
"Where are you willing!" The old man known as Dean Zhang turned to look at him, "Huron, you are actually a good seedling for scientific research, but it's a pity... no, there is no pity, everyone has their own way forward Road. Your road is in business, I saw you in the newspaper a few days ago, and in this year's "Top 100 Mining Groups", your ranking has advanced a few places compared to last year."
Mu Xiulun nodded humbly.
The Mu family is in the mining business. Decades ago, the state began to liberalize mining licenses and vigorously support private capital. It was at that time that his father and uncle made their fortunes. At first, it was an iron mine, and then it developed into a piece of iron mine, followed by chromium ore, aluminum ore, copper mine that the country urgently needed...
Mu Xiulun was the youngest child of their generation, and he was also an adopted son with an awkward position. When he graduated, all important positions in the family business were occupied by relatives, and his father only threw him a small branch that was not doing well.
Everyone thought he was at a dead end. Unexpectedly, relying on his keen sense of smell in business and the professionalism he cultivated while auditing in the Geological Institute, he decisively changed the company's mining direction to non-ferrous metals and rare earths... In one fell swoop, he fought a beautiful turnaround.
As the business gradually expanded, Mu Xiulun's name became more and more common in newspapers and news programs.
"Dean, I came back this time to see you guys. Let's not talk about work." Mu Xiulun took the initiative to change the subject.
Dean Zhang smiled, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes stretched out: "Okay, okay! By the way, all the experimental equipment you donated before has arrived, let's go take a look later?"
Mu Xiulun was about to nod when suddenly his eyes were drawn away by a group of students swarming past outside the window.
Eighteen and nine-year-old freshmen are the most energetic, humming and beckoning friends, while running towards a certain teaching building in the distance. Today is the weekend, so it stands to reason that there is no class to attend, and judging by their expressions, it doesn't look like they are going to class, but rather... to watch something lively.
Mu Xiulun murmured: "What are they doing?"
Dean Zhang is not old at heart, winking his eyes like an old urchin, and said: "What else can I do, chasing stars."
"Chasing stars?... But there is no film school in the university city." Mu Xiulun frowned.
Dean Zhang explained to him: "Yesterday, the Academic Affairs Office sent a notice that a female star came here to shoot an exterior scene. What's it called..." He thought about it carefully, "Oh, yes, it's called Su Jin! Oh, my little grandson likes her He liked it so much that he asked me to get him an autograph. How can the relationship between big stars be so good?"
Mu Xiulun: "..."
He coughed and said, "If it's just a signature, I can find a way."
For the sake of the former "golden master", Su Jin wouldn't even give him this bit of face.
