Chapter 29
Two days later, Jiang Xiao's figure finally appeared at Qingdao Liut Airport.
As a result of the incident, the crew will reimburse the air tickets, but only half of it. If they take the train, they will reimburse the whole amount.
However, taking a train from Shu Province to Dongshan Province, in the EMU era, would probably take about two days anyway, and the process was a bit difficult, so he still chose the air ticket. It was better to pay half of the price than not to pay at all.
It's also true that Jiang Xiao took on this role with only four episodes.
In fact, from the perspective of the overall environment, the level of entertainment this year has not reached its best, and there are not many opportunities. In addition, he would not have a chance to act in those hit dramas in his memory.
So Jiang Xiao thought about it again and felt that he should seize the opportunity if he still had it. It was all about accumulation, and he couldn't just start picking and choosing without making any tricks.
In his memory, he seemed to have this small problem. He felt that he had a sense of superiority because of his reputation as a Chinese opera actor. As a result, he ended up in a worse situation than he imagined.
Almost an hour later.
After taking a taxi to No. 41 Middle School, Jiang Xiao met Teacher Huang Meiying.
Then he was introduced to the director, a female director who was quite young and looked to be in her thirties.
Not to mention how beautiful you are, you are not ugly either. As soon as we met, the other person took the initiative to say: "Hello, Junior Brother Xiao Jiang, I heard from Teacher Huang that you are a Chinese drama major, right? I am also a 92-level teacher in the directing department.
Sister, by the way, my surname is Ma, and my full name is Ma Liwen."
"Oh, hello, hello, Senior Sister Ma. I'm glad to work together this time."
After listening to this, Jiang Xiao felt that it was really possible to meet alumni everywhere. This was probably the advantage of being from a major. Not to mention that he would definitely become famous, but it was obviously easier to get opportunities than other actors who were not majoring in majors.
"Me too, let's go. I'll take you to sign the contract and meet the other actors first. Then you can rest today and wait until tomorrow to join the set for filming. Knowing that you still have to go to school, I will try to catch up with your scene before school starts."
Finished filming before."
Since she was an alumnus, Ma Liwen didn't act like a stranger and got to the point directly.
"Okay, I will follow senior sister's arrangements." Jiang Xiao nodded and responded.
After finishing, he suddenly remembered something again, about this senior sister Ma Liwen.
It's a movie called "The Two of Us", which seems to have been directed by the former, and it finally won the grand prize at the Tokyo Film Festival.
It is precisely because of this that Jiang Xiao left little impression on Ma Liwen.
However, there is no movie yet, and he is more concerned about the TV series he is about to shoot.
On the phone, Huang Meiying didn't make it too clear. She only knew that she was an introverted high school student.
Not long after, after signing the contract, Jiang Xiao finally found out the name of the TV series was "You're Smiling, But I'm Crying".
Although I don't have any impression of it, this name is very popular among young people.
Especially after seeing the name of one of the screenwriters, Jiang Xiao was stunned and realized that it was Xue Xiaolu who had filmed "Beijing Meets Seattle" in the future?
Let’s talk about the TV series itself. It sounds like a youth romance drama, but in fact it doesn’t seem to be. In other words, it only occupies a small part of the elements. Others include police-gangster elements, family elements, etc. It feels quite messy.
No wonder it didn't leave any impression in his memory, and even his style was hard to pin down.
Of course, as a supporting character with only four episodes, there is absolutely no reason to worry about it. It is only true that he can finish filming as soon as possible and just take the money and leave.
After a while, Jiang Xiao, who had settled the contract issue, followed Ma Liwen and Huang Meiying to the filming set and met the other actors who had already joined the set.
Then he was surprised because he saw a familiar face at the first moment, Gao Yuanyuan.
A student outfit, British style, a suit and skirt.
In fact, these costumes are fine, but Gao Yuanyuan herself with two pigtails is...
Jiang Xiao wanted to laugh, he really wanted to laugh, but he didn’t know who on the crew was in charge of the look? What kind of malicious aesthetic.
In addition, in his memory, his perception of Gao Yuanyuan has always been the image of a goddess, but now he sees such a picture, it is really a contrast.
So, is this the heroine of "You're Smiling But I'm Crying"?
After all, the other party has already become famous. After a quick sweep, huh? This is not that...
Jiang Xiao originally wanted to say that Gao Yuanyuan was the only familiar face, but soon he saw another familiar face, and it turned out to be that guy Wen Zhang? Question mark face?
"Alright, everyone is paying attention. Let me introduce you. The person next to me is Jiang Xiao, who plays the role of Chen Chen. He is a current student of China National Theater Academy. He is my junior brother. Let's get to know each other first."
Before Jiang Xiao could think too much, Ma Liwen next to him quickly introduced him on the spot.
Immediately, without any hesitation, he also greeted all the actors present: "Hello everyone, my name is Jiang Xiao. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."
"Hello, Xiao Jiang, Zhang Zhizhong."
Zhang Zhizhong, who was the closest and had the oldest qualifications, responded enthusiastically immediately.
"Hello, Teacher Zhang!"
To this, Jiang Xiao naturally responded immediately, regardless of whether he had heard of this middle-aged actor named Zhang Zhizhong.
Afterwards, other actors also greeted him in turn.
Including Wen Zhang, the other party also asked him what level he was in acting, and finally respectfully called him senior brother.
He has not yet become famous, and he is not unruly at all. He is completely different from the Wen Zhang in his memory.
This is a living example. After becoming famous, he expanded too quickly and eventually became crippled. However, it is his own fault, so let’s do it and cherish it.
In addition, it is also a coincidence that there is an actress named Sun Jiayi and an actor named Liu Fan, who are also alumni of China National Theater.
The former seems to have a small face, a little round, and is pretty good-looking; the latter looks thin, has a long face, and his cheeks are a little sunken inward, like a low-end version of Deng Lun.
Jiang Xiao had absolutely no memory of Sun Jiayi, so it was impossible to understand him.
When it comes to Liu Fan, this actor with the same name as Liu Fan who sang "Song of a Hero" seems to have made the slightest impression on him.
Maybe it was because Zhang Wen was also there. In the other party's "Petit Daddy", the actor who played the role of the male lead's best friend was not the same actor.
Thinking about it, the two of them must have gotten connected because of this drama?
Putting all this aside, because he was located relatively far back, the last person to greet him was Gao Yuanyuan.
As he got closer, the other party's two super-obtrusive braids fell into his eyes, which made him unable to hold back the smile on his face, almost losing control.
He almost forced himself to respond to the other party: "Hello, Teacher Yuanyuan, it's a pleasure to work with you."
"No, you don't have to call me like that. It's better to just call me by my name. It's easier on your ears."
Hearing that Jiang Xiao actually called her "teacher", Gao Yuanyuan quickly waved her hand.
It's okay for ordinary staff to call her this. Even actors of the same age who are not too different in age also call her this. She is really not used to it.
In addition, the obvious strangeness on the other person's face also made her murmur a little in her heart, making people suspect that there was something wrong with her face or body.
No, she subconsciously pulled on her clothes.
"I'm nineteen and a half years old, so I'll call you Sister Yuanyuan!"
To be honest, he called Gao Yuanyuan "teacher" out of politeness, but Jiang Xiao himself was not used to it, so naturally he didn't insist on anything.
"Can."
