Chapter 32: Easier than I thought



Of course Jiang Dao couldn't say that he stayed up all night watching talent show cuts in order to research "his own" life experience.

So he agreed with Chu Yinlong's guess.

"I actually don't like this feeling of everything I do being exposed to others." Jiang Dao continued the topic, "Plus, there are too many unspoken rules in this circle that I don't agree with, so I want to leave here."

Chu Yinlong was silent for a moment, then chuckled: "I understand."

After a pause, he continued, "You don't have to worry about these things with me. I don't like those so-called unspoken rules. If you don't want to, the studio will not announce any of your schedules, nor will it require you to interact with fans on any social platform."

Hearing this, Jiang Dao tilted his head and looked at Chu Yinlong with a smile: "It is because I see that you will indulge me that I ask you for help."

As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned forward and lowered his voice, asking, "So I've always been curious, why do you indulge me so much? What role do you and Director Mu want me to play? Must I play it?"

"It's not that I have to have you."

Chu Yinlong lowered his eyes and looked at the big boy's pretty face so close to him, staring at him for a long time.

"But you do have the complex temperament that the role requires... Looking at your face, you are still childish, but looking at your eyes, it seems that you have a past that is a little mysterious, a little dangerous, and makes people... well, Director Mu thinks that you can interpret that role perfectly."

Jiang Dao did not avoid Chu Yinlong's gaze. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and stared back at him provocatively.

Chu Yinlong continued, "Putting aside this temperament, in terms of acting skills alone, you are still far behind. But you are also a promising talent, so Director Mu wants to train you and help him interpret a perfect role."

After saying that, he turned his eyes away and glanced at his phone: "Let's go, let's go back and talk about the script, it's almost time for lunch."

Back in the living room, Chu Yinlong spread out the script on the coffee table and read it carefully with Jiang Dao, sorting out the story line of the movie.

Judging from the plot alone, this is a very typical action film. The competition between the police and the criminals runs through the entire film. It is simple and clear, and seems a bit old-fashioned.

The protagonist of the movie is of course the sharp knife of justice. Together with his comrades, he lurks in a criminal organization that manufactures and sells banned drugs, collecting evidence, transmitting information, and assisting the police in setting up a dragnet... and finally succeeds in destroying the criminal organization.

The character that Jiang Dao is going to play, Jess, is the personal bodyguard of the villain boss.

He will participate in three battles. The first one is to capture and kill the protagonist's comrades. The last two are head-on confrontations with the protagonist, namely a road chase and a hand-to-hand combat in a dense forest.

Looking at the words "personal bodyguard" next to the character, Jiang Dao frowned, feeling that something seemed wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Okay, these are the few things you need to pay attention to when reading the script."

Chu Yinlong closed the script and handed it to Jiang Dao: "You are not a professional actor, and this is your first time to watch a movie, so you need to work harder on this aspect... Take the script back, read it carefully a few times, and try to write down your understanding of the character of Jess."

After saying that, he glanced at his phone and said, "Let's go, let's go eat first."

After having lunch at a private restaurant next to the villa area, Jiang Dao followed Chu Yinlong back to the villa.

Assistant Xiao Yang came forward with a tablet computer: "The training courses have been sorted out. Secretary Zhang has also contacted the driving school and has signed up Jiang Dao for the VIP course."

"good."

Chu Yinlong took the tablet and turned to Jiang Dao.

"You need to start learning how to drive as soon as possible... In addition, here is a list of Longqi Media's performing arts training courses. My advice to you is that you should continue to take fitness and body shaping classes, and it would be best if you could also take an acting course... However, you don't have a management contract, so you need to pay for it yourself."

"Well, no problem." Jiang Dao still had quite a bit of savings, and now that he no longer had the pressure of saving money to pay the penalty, it was more than enough for him to go to class.

Chu Yinlong sent the class schedule to Jiang Dao and said, "You will be very busy in the future. After you pass the driving test, the early preparations for the film should be almost done. At that time, I will sign a formal salary contract with you, and then design the makeup and have a script reading session... The work rhythm will be very tight, so..."

As he said this, he chuckled and said, "Stop reading the comments online. Adjust your mood and focus on what you should do."

Jiang Dao was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

He really didn't care about the comments online, but the two dark circles under his eyes caused by staying up late made him very unconvincing.

"Okay, go back and have a good rest today." Chu Yinlong looked a little helpless. "I've also sent you the driving school's online appointment link. You can make the appointment yourself... Remember to control the pace of the class and get enough rest. Fatigue driving is as dangerous as drunk driving."

After that, he paused for a moment and turned to his assistant: "Xiao Yang, you have to work harder recently and pick him up and drop him off at class."

Everything was arranged, and Chu Yinlong asked his assistant to send Jiang Dao back to the apartment.

In the car, Jiangdao, who suddenly relaxed, yawned loudly, slumped down in the chair like a boneless person, half-closed his eyes, as if he was about to fall asleep.

Seeing his expression, the assistant couldn't help but laugh and said, "You have to learn to adapt. The boss works like a war, and the pace is very fast. Once you join the team, it will be even more... Ahem, be prepared, he will be like a completely different person."

Having said that, Jiang Dao is no longer sleepy.

"How did he change?" He opened his eyes wide and looked towards the driver's seat curiously. "Like in those videos, very fierce? Cursing?"

The assistant nodded sympathetically.

Jiang Dao smiled: "Then I am looking forward to it."

The next morning, Assistant Yang came to Jiangdao Apartment again and picked him up to go to the driving school.

"Why do you have a class so early? Don't you need to rest?" The assistant was a little surprised at Jiang Dao's efficiency.

Jiangdao was in high spirits. He had even gone for a morning jog, and the ends of his hair were wet from a fresh shower.

"If you start learning early, you can get your driver's license earlier, and you can drive by yourself whenever you want to go out in the future."

With his current identity, it is too conspicuous for him to take taxis frequently, and he doesn't want to disguise himself every day. Last night he even looked at several cars priced below 100,000 yuan, planning to buy himself one as soon as he gets his driver's license.

Hearing his words, the assistant couldn't help but laugh: "Your rhythm is really..." matched with our boss.

He was too cautious to say the last two words.

After three days of theoretical lessons and passing the first subject test, Jiang Dao finally saw the model he was about to learn at the driving practice field.

"Wow, such a big one!"

Jiangdao walked forward excitedly and patted the towering frame of the truck in front of him.

The coach was amused: "Are you scared?"

Jiang Dao shook his head: "Of course not, it's a surprise."

The coach was satisfied: "That's good. Come on, get in the car."

Accelerator, brake, clutch, gear... After learning the simple structure and operating points, Jiang Dao started the truck according to the instructor's requirements and carefully drove out of the original parking space.

The coach sat in the passenger seat, pointed at the public driving practice field not far from the car window, and said with a smile: "Since you are here to learn the B license, let's not play with the dotted reverse parking. Those are just crash courses that deceive yourself. You can pass the test, but in the end you can't park the car in your own garage... Let's get down to business. If you can practice with me, I guarantee that you will drive fast and steady in the future!"

Jiang Dao actually didn't quite understand what "punctuation reverse parking" meant, but he still smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll practice with you."

The coach praised me: "Okay, now, put the car in reverse gear. You can drive it in reverse as much as you want in this area. When you have developed a sense of driving and can park the car steadily in the middle of the two white lines, we will start the next step."

Jiangdao: ...

Is this what they call "follow me"?

Isn’t this the case of “the master leads you to the door, but the practice is up to you”?

Even though he complained in his heart, Jiang Dao still obediently put the car in reverse gear and started trying to reverse.

The coach gave instructions from the side: "Turn to the left, turn to the left - that's right, look in the rearview mirror, when you turn to the left, the rear end of the car will keep going in this direction. OK, now turn to the right, that's right, turn to the right! Look in the rearview mirror!"

After turning the steering wheel left and right for a few circles, he shifted the car into first gear to get the front of the car straight, and then shifted into reverse gear to slowly experience the steering wheel angle and the driving position of the car's rear end. After about an hour of experience, the instructor finally gave in: "Okay, now you try to see if you can park the car between the two white lines."

Jiang Dao recalled the feeling of reversing for the past hour, reached out to turn the steering wheel, turned his head to look at the rearview mirrors on both sides, and started reversing.

A minute later, the truck parked steadily in the parking space, with a very even distance from the white lines on both sides, with almost no deviation.

coach:……

I silently placed the thermos cup in my hand between the seats. The coach pointed to another parking space diagonally opposite: "Go, try parking there."

Jiang Dao: “Okay.”

Another minute passed.

The coach got out of the car and looked at the truck parked right in the middle of the parking space. He suddenly felt a little suspicious.

He looked at Jiang Dao inquiringly: "Is this really your first time learning to drive?"

"Yeah." Jiang Dao shrugged, "It's okay. It's easier than I thought."

The coach coughed lightly, made an excuse to get some water, and turned around to temporarily leave the practice field.

While walking on the road, he took out his cell phone and called someone: "Hey, Xiao Chu, I lost money on the business you introduced to me this time!"

Chu Yinlong put down his golf club, sat down on a rattan chair nearby, frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

The coach smiled and pretended to be depressed: "This kid has a great sense of driving. He will definitely learn it within the legal hours... No, after the legal hours, he will probably be able to drive a truck and will definitely not buy extra lessons. I finally got a VIP, but in the end, I didn't make any hourly money. Don't you think I lost money?"

Hearing this, Chu Yinlong couldn't help laughing.

"It's a loss." He joked, "How about you join the team and be a stunt driver for me again? This way you can make money quickly."

"Oh no, no!" The coach looked frightened. "I have a wife and kids now, I can't stand the shock. It's safer to be a coach... Don't understand? Oh, you'll understand when you get married... If you have someone you care about, you won't dare to play with your life anymore."
