Chapter 267 My Roommate is a Pervert (12)
Yu Huo finally raised his head, looked at the thin bamboo pole, and asked without hesitation: "Then how do you think I can find a job?"
Skinny Bamboo Pole sat down and slowly ate a mouthful of ramen. He asked with a smile, "First, tell me why you're looking for a job? Are you short of money?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense? Otherwise, I'd be bored and have nothing better to do than go to work!"
Skinny Bamboo was puzzled: "If you need money, just ask your family for it. Why bother taking a thankless part-time job? Did you have a fight with your family? Brother, I say you should just give in to your family. These part-time jobs are low-paying and hard labor. We can't afford it!"
Yu Huo shrugged. "My mom gives me half of her salary every month, and she has to pay the rent and utility bills with the rest. How can I ask for more?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shou Zhugan was a little surprised, and the chopsticks in his hand trembled: "You were chasing Huo Yan last month, giving him flowers and branded brooches. I thought your family was quite rich. It turns out you are just a love-brained person!"
“…”
Damn it, the original body’s blame was put on Yu Huo again, leaving him speechless for a moment.
Fortunately, Skinny Bamboo Pole was just joking and didn't really look down on him. Instead, he sat there and thought for a while before offering a reasonable suggestion: "By the way, my sister is a short play director, and she's in need of a good-looking young man like you. How about I introduce you to a job?"
Yu Huo asked bluntly, "How much is the salary?"
"I'm not sure. The rates for extras and the main cast are different." Skinny Bamboo Pole shrugged and added, "But it's definitely higher than a 1,200 yuan monthly salary, and the hours are flexible."
Yu Huo was a little moved when he heard this: "But I can't act. Your sister doesn't like me, right?"
It's not wrong for him to have this concern. Although he had been in the entertainment industry in his previous life, he was a variety show star. Because of his great fame, he would occasionally make guest appearances on the crew.
But there is a chain of contempt in the entertainment industry. Those who make movies look down on those who make TV series, and those who make TV series look down on those who do variety shows. Every time he joins a crew, his catchphrase becomes "I'm sorry" because he can't act well.
But I can't turn against him for the sake of money, which is also very frustrating.
Hearing his words, Skinny Bamboo Pole didn't care: "It's okay, take your time. You are good-looking, which is better than anything else. I'll call my sister after I'm full and take you to the set for an interview first."
"Okay." Yu Huo agreed readily, ran to the window and ordered a bowl of ramen, spending 11 yuan.
Well, I can still spend two dollars and thirty cents today.
What can I eat for two dollars and three cents?
Yu Huo thought about it for almost half an hour, and finally realized that he couldn't eat anything because the two dollars were used to take the bus.
The filming crew was in the suburbs, where there were rows of two- or three-story buildings. They were all self-built houses, but they looked very beautiful and were built almost like villas. They walked into the one rented by the crew.
After entering, Shou Zhugan skillfully greeted the crew members. It was obvious that he must have come to join in the fun quite often.
After a few pleasantries, a guy from the props team pointed them in the direction: "Director Zuo is having dinner in the restaurant, you guys should go over there now."
Skinny Bamboo smiled and thanked him, then grabbed Yu Huo's arm and dragged him into the restaurant. There were not many people in the restaurant, only a short-haired woman sitting at the table with her eyes downcast, eating a box lunch.
"sister!"
The woman raised her head and fixed her gaze on Yu Huo, then put the lunch box aside. "Hello, your name is Yu Huo, right?"
Yu Huo nodded and replied, "Hello."
Through the introduction, Yu Huo learned that Shouzhugan's sister was called Zuo Hongxin. She was dressed very smartly and looked a little fierce when she was not smiling. However, from her behavior of sitting on the edge of the table, it can be seen that she has some casualness in her character.
"Don't just stand there, sit down." Zuo Hongxin raised his chin towards the chair beside him and pretended to get the unopened lunch box for them: "Have you two eaten yet?"
Skinny Bamboo Pole waved his hands hurriedly: "Sister, please don't bother. We just came here after eating in the cafeteria."
Zuo Hongxin retracted his hand upon hearing this, and looked at Yu Huo who had just taken his seat, and went straight to the point: "The treatment here is differentiated by role. I heard from my brother that you have never acted before. If you are not busy, would it be convenient for you to try out a role later?"
Zuo Hongxin felt a little dry in his throat after he finished speaking. He subconsciously glanced at Shou Zhugan and raised his hand.
Shouzhugan quickly took out a bottle of mineral water from the box and stuffed it into her hand, acting like a complete servile slave.
Zuo Hongxin unscrewed the cap and drank half the bottle. He frowned and kicked Skinny Bamboo Pole: "Get a bottle for your classmate. Are you stupid? You're in your twenties and don't even understand the ways of the world!"
Upon hearing this, Skinny Bamboo felt frustrated and brought a bottle of water to Yu Huo. He retorted, "Are you really my sister? How come you're already in your twenties? I'm not even twenty yet, okay?"
"No matter how old you are, leave me alone!" Seeing that Yu Huo agreed to the audition, Zuo Hongxin quickly threw a script to him and said concisely: "Pick a scene to act in."
Yu Huo didn't hesitate. He picked up the script and glanced at it briefly. Then he pointed to a character on the script and asked, "Director Zuo, can I play this role?"
Zuo Hongxin looked down, then his expression froze: "Why?"
Yu Huo spoke frankly: "Actually, I've wanted to play a bitch for a long time, and this line is so cool!"
Zuo Hongxin was silent for a few seconds: "This role has already been chosen."
Yu Huo pondered for a moment, then asked, "Then can I play Mr. Wang?"
Zuo Hongxin looked embarrassed: "But your temperament doesn't look like Mr. Wang from 'The Cooling Sky's Broken King'? Otherwise, why don't you play Mr. Yun? This role hasn't been decided yet, it's the third male lead~"
Yu Huo didn't want to play the third male lead: "I don't want to play a bootlicker."
Zuo Hongxin's eyes instantly turned resentful. If Yu Huo wasn't so "beautiful", she would have turned against him long ago.
You're so picky about making money? What kind of family is that!
She looked away, and while thinking, she subconsciously supported herself on the ground with one foot, and the other leg naturally came over and shook, becoming more and more casual.
At this moment, the props guy who had just shown them the way came trotting in and anxiously reported, "Director Zuo, Zhao Yan said he can't come to sign the contract. He's accepted another play, so there's a schedule conflict."
Zuo Hongxin frowned when he heard this, looking unhappy.
The guy from the props team was trembling, secretly cursing Zhao Yan in his heart for being an uncultured actor. He had agreed on everything, but he didn't show up when it came time to sign the contract!
Isn't this really a scam?
Just when he thought Zuo Hongxin was about to lose his temper, he suddenly looked at the young man holding the script beside him and asked, "Do you want to act, Prince of the underworld?"
The props guy was startled, his eyes swept across his pink hair, and he uttered a "hmm?" in his heart.
Not to mention, although this young man is very handsome, he exudes the aura of "not a good person", which seems to be more in line with his character than that of "Zhao Yan".
Yu Huo blinked: "I play the prince of the underworld? Your drama has quite a lot of elements..."
There is Mr. Wang, Mr. Yun, a bitch, and the prince of the underworld?
Zuo Hongxin shrugged: "This short play is a refreshing piece of writing. Don't worry about it for now. Just tell me whether you want to act or not."
Yu Huo nodded immediately: "Act!"
"Okay, then you try this part." Zuo Hongxin took his finger off the script and said to the prop boy, "See if anyone is free and ask them to come over and try out the scene with Xiao Yu. And call the cameraman over too."
Is this what is called less than?
Yu Huo and Shou Zhugan looked at each other, and seeing the other winking at him, he turned his gaze to the camera that came in, with a normal expression and no reaction.
A look of satisfaction flashed in Zuo Hongxin's eyes, because there are many good young people who are not destined to work in this industry because they are afraid of cameras. Fortunately, Huo is not afraid of the camera.
She waved her hand: "Xiao Yu, come here, I'll tell you about this scene in general..."
