In a pool of "bloodstains", Jiang Xiao lay face down motionless, surrounded by the exclamations of extras and other main actors.

Because he couldn't see the scene with his eyes closed, he could only hear the noisy sound while "playing dead".

"Stuck, passed!"

Until a certain moment, when a shout came from outside the venue, Jiang Xiao's role in the TV series "You're Smiling But I'm Crying" was officially completed, which took a total of thirteen days.

His scenes were only in four episodes in total, which is really not much. Even if we count the number of scenes he appeared in, it did not exceed 30 scenes.

Anyway, to sum up the plot of the character Chen Chen, from the very beginning he went together with several classmates in a small group to secretly study the exam papers.

Then it is handed over to Shen Xiao, a top student played by Gao Yuanyuan, to work out the answers, and then distributes them to a dozen other students for cheating.

But a group of people who usually had poor grades unexpectedly passed the exam collectively. Naturally, Huang Meiying, who plays the class teacher, became suspicious and reported it to the school to start an investigation.

Then, under pressure and persuasion from all aspects of the school and parents, one of the students could not withstand the pressure and confessed about stealing the test papers.

When Shen Xiao, who helped write the test papers, also let the teacher know, Chen Chen, who was repeatedly called to talk alone by the teacher, became the primary target of suspicion for the small team that stole the test papers.

It's just that Chen Chen himself has never betrayed anyone, but he can't explain it clearly, especially when even Shen Xiao, whom he has a crush on, doesn't want to believe him.

In order to prove his innocence, Chen Chen jumped off the building and died after leaving a sentence on the blackboard. He is a tragic figure no matter how you look at it.

In the play, the reason why Shen Xiao lets the teacher know is because she accidentally revealed it herself.

The class teacher had a son who was already in college, and Shen Xiao had always secretly liked him. After the incident of stealing test papers was leaked, the latter went to the former to confide in him.

However, the former is the son of the head teacher after all, so he unintentionally leaked the matter to his mother who was the head teacher, which led to misunderstanding.

When Chen Chen just jumped off the building, Shen Xiao ran to ask the head teacher's son, but the latter denied it, obviously not wanting to take responsibility.

Although the truth was still revealed to Shen Xiao later, it had nothing to do with Chen Chen or Jiang Xiao, whose role had been completed.

No, after director Ma Liwen shouted "pass", he opened his eyes and immediately got up from the "bloodstains" on the ground, smelling like tomatoes.

Who said that "fake blood" is made from tomato juice mixed with red pigment. You can't look at it carefully or show it in close-ups, otherwise it will look fake and you'll just have to make do with it.

It may not be very professional, but this is the norm in the current film and television industry.

Furthermore, let alone the issue of whether one can afford a truly professional prop master, the more important issue is that there are simply not many truly professional professionals in China.

Soon, Jiang Xiao saw Ma Liwen coming over again and sealed him a red envelope in person. Knowing that this was an industry practice, he naturally accepted it without much hesitation.

After saying a few polite words, he left the set and went back to the hotel where the crew was staying. He needed to clean up the "bloodstains" on his body and face.

…………

Later that afternoon.

"Hey, classmate Jiang Xiao, are you leaving the group now?"

"Yes, the account has been settled. What's wrong with the ten o'clock flight tonight, Sister Yuanyuan?"

Jiang Xiao came over to settle the bill and said goodbye to director Ma Liwen and Huang Meiying. Jiang Xiao was about to leave the production, but he didn't expect that Gao Yuanyuan would take the initiative to come over and talk.

"Nothing much, I just wanted to say goodbye and say goodbye. Anyway, we filmed together for more than ten days."

In fact, Gao Yuanyuan herself didn't know why she took the initiative to say goodbye to Jiang Xiao. She subconsciously saw it, subconsciously thought about it, and subconsciously came here. Maybe this person is a little different compared to the others?

Normally, I can communicate with her very naturally, without showing off at all. Even though I am a bit stingy from time to time, it is not really annoying. Sometimes I have a little humor, which makes me feel quite special.

The key is, she also saw a shadow...

In short, Gao Yuanyuan probably does not object to being friends with such a boy.

"Okay, so that we can meet again, can I ask Sister Yuanyuan for a private phone number?"

On a whim and taking advantage of the opportunity, Jiang Xiao simply asked Gao Yuanyuan for her phone number with a smile.

There is no other meaning, just making friends.

"Why, is this how you understand the meaning of 'goodbye'? Do you have any misunderstanding?"

Unknowingly, Gao Yuanyuan bit her lower lip and showed a nice smile, then teased Jiang and smiled.

"Goodbye, goodbye, means we have to meet again. I have always understood it this way. Is there any problem with this? Sister Yuanyuan, do you want it?"

Jiang Xiao, who shrugged slightly, responded with a smile again.

"Then I'll just read it once. If you didn't hear it clearly or didn't remember it, don't blame me. If you heard it clearly, my number is 132...527. Okay, it's over!"

After one sentence, Gao Yuanyuan reported her phone number in one breath at a faster speaking speed.

"Ah? How many, 132993...and then? I only heard 520."

Seeing that Gao Yuanyuan was thinking about it as fast as he could without leaving any buffer time for himself, even if he remembered it, Jiang Xiao couldn't help but tease him.

"520, your size is 527."

Gao Yuanyuan still knew about the homophony of 520, so while rolling her eyes at Jiang Xiao, she corrected her.

"What about the other two numbers?"

"I don't know. I told you to just read it once, so I don't bother to care about you. If it doesn't work, you can go back and try it yourself, walk slowly, and don't send it away."

Although the speaking speed was indeed not slow, Gao Yuanyuan read every number clearly. She didn't believe that Jiang Xiao didn't hear clearly.

Even if you really didn't hear it clearly, there are only two numbers left. As she said, let the other party try slowly.

Anyway, after saying this, she turned around and went back to the set without looking at anyone else.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiao himself, who stayed where he was, chuckled lightly and said nothing more. He also took out his mobile phone and saved his phone number as he left.

…………

At around two o'clock in the afternoon the next day, Jiang Xiao, who had already returned to the capital, came to the International Television Corporation building and signed a performance contract with the crew of "Pink Family".

There are a total of thirty episodes, and the salary for each episode is 3,500 yuan, totaling one hundred and five thousand, after tax, which is considered a newcomer's price.

There is probably something wrong with the remuneration, but Jiang Xiao naturally won't care about that much. 3,500 is just 3,500. These days, making a TV series can earn 100,000 yuan, which is pretty good.

It’s not like more than ten years later, a not-so-famous sand sculpture would dare to ask for 78 million.

All in all, stop meddling in other people's business. This is his life lesson.

In addition, I have to mention that although the contract only has thirty episodes, when it is actually aired, it is estimated that the number of episodes will be far more than thirty.

This is also a potential rule. For a TV show with 70 or 80 episodes or hundreds of episodes, the contract will definitely not have that many episodes.

Furthermore, TV drama actors’ remuneration is calculated in different ways. Some are calculated based on the number of episodes, while others are calculated based on the total package price of the filming time. They are all insignificant.

For supporting roles, the number of scenes you appear in is considered an episode, and then the salary is calculated. It does not mean that just showing your face counts as an episode.
Chapter completed!
