Chapter 127 Little Angel on Earth
Shudian North District Second People's Hospital.
Wearing a hat and a mask, Chen Li, accompanied by Xiaoyun Apan, bought some supplements to visit the actor who was injured yesterday.
Because she had gained considerable popularity even before the show aired, she deliberately kept a low profile today and even did not bring along the several bodyguards assigned by the company.
A Pan went to the nurse's station to ask and found out which ward the boy was in. When they arrived at the door of the ward, they discovered that someone had arrived before them.
"Brother Xiaolong?" Xiaoyun subconsciously exclaimed in surprise when she saw the other party.
Xiaolong was talking to the boy. He turned around and looked at them. He pretended not to know they were coming and said with a surprised look: "Eh? Why are you here too?"
"Ali has no work during the day today, so she came to check on her injured colleague." Xiaoyun said as her eyes fell on the supplements placed on the bedside table. She was stunned again, because there was basically no difference between them and the things she was holding in her hand. Some of them even had the same brands.
"Oh." Xiaolong nodded lightly, and after subconsciously glancing at Chen Li, he said, "An Yu was also worried about him, so he specifically asked me to come over and check on him today."
"Teacher Chen Li..." At this time, the boy lying on the bed finally recognized Chen Li wearing a mask, and suddenly became so excited that he wanted to sit up straight.
Seeing this, Chen Li hurried forward and said, "Don't move, your foot is still injured."
Looking at his injured foot wrapped in thick gauze, Chen Li couldn't help but worry: "Is the foot okay? Is it serious?"
"It's a fracture," Xiaolong interrupted. "But the doctor said it's okay to slowly recover and won't affect your normal movements. But you still have to be careful and not try anything too dangerous. If the same part is injured again, it will be more serious."
Chen Li nodded in understanding: "Then take good care of yourself. I bought you some supplements, remember to take them."
The boy was very touched, especially because Chen Li was so friendly and gentle. The filming was tiring and stressful for the crew, and she had a rare day off, but she actually thought of coming to the hospital to visit him in person.
He was just an inconspicuous extra who participated in the filming of dozens of film and television dramas, but he rarely showed his face and spoke only a handful of lines. No one ever noticed him.
"Thank you, Teacher Chen Li, for making such a special trip."
"Just call me by my name, I'm not a teacher." Chen Li smiled helplessly.
Although people in the crew often called her teacher for unknown reasons, she was still not used to it.
"I've seen you act live, and you performed very well. You are the teacher." The boy said bluntly, his words and expression revealing his simple nature.
Later, through chatting, Shen Li learned that the boy's name was Tan Yue, he was only 20 years old this year, his hometown was in the rural area in the north, and he started working to make a living at the age of 15.
He has little education and was a minor. Even when he was deceived into a pyramid scheme, people were reluctant to waste food on him and released him.
He worked his way south, serving dishes, washing cars, and even learning to scrub people's backs, until he arrived at Shudian and discovered the profession of extra. From then on, he began to take jobs following the "extras".
But the competition for extras was also fierce. In the beginning, he earned too little money every day, and basically had to give it to his "costumes". He could still hold on with the lunch boxes provided by the crew.
Later, he gradually discovered that he could earn one or two times more, sometimes even more, by taking on "beating scenes" with more difficult movements, so he begged his costume boss to give him such opportunities, and slowly accumulated some savings.
Chen Li listened to his story and her eyes were red several times. She had long known the difficulties of being an extra, but what moved her was not only the cruelty of this industry, but more importantly his previous experience.
It's too hard to start working hard to make a living at the age of fifteen.
Seeing this, Xiaolong walked to the window sill alone and sent a message to Song Anyu in Longcheng: "Chen Li is here."
Song Anyu was attending a brand event and did not respond immediately. Xiaolong felt a little conflicted. Can he leave now?
"Teacher Chen Li, can I take a picture with you?"
Tan Yue hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke in an embarrassed whisper. He had seen several of Chen Li's scenes on the scene and thought her acting was really great. In fact, he admired her a little bit.
Today's opportunity is rare. If you miss it, you may never have it again.
"Now?"
Chen Li looked at him lying stiffly on the hospital bed, and said with a smile: "Let's wait until you get better before filming. Then you can come back to the crew and find me."
Hearing this, Tan Yue lowered his eyes, his expression lost: "I may not be able to go back."
Xiaolong came over again at this time and explained to Chen Li: "If he is injured, the crew will definitely not ignore it. There will be medical expenses and compensation. But because of this, the crew probably won't use him again."
"Besides, our filming schedule is pretty short. His injury will take a hundred days to heal, so we'll probably be done by the time he's fully recovered."
Chen Li nodded in understanding, feeling that Xiaolong's words seemed reasonable and unreasonable. In short, she felt very complicated.
"Then shoot it."
After all, she was too kind and couldn't bear to reject Tan Yue.
But she also didn't forget Sister Kuan's advice to try not to take photos with others alone, as sometimes "such photos" could be used by people with ulterior motives. So just as Xiaoyun was about to remind her, she took the initiative and said, "Let's take photos together!"
So a photo of Tan Yue lying on a hospital bed with Chen Li, Xiaolong, Xiaoyun and Apan surrounding him appeared on Tan Yue’s own social account and circle of friends.
"Apan, add him on WeChat." Chen Li looked at Apan and said, then turned to look at Tan Yue: "I've just started in the industry, and this is my first play. If you haven't changed careers after your injury heals, I'll let Apan contact you if there's a suitable opportunity in the future."
Tan Yue was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and after a few seconds he showed a look of surprise and joy: "Really, really, Teacher Chen Li?"
"Don't get too excited. I'm a newcomer and don't have much say. I might not be able to give you a particularly good opportunity..."
"It doesn't matter. As long as there's an opportunity, I'm willing to play any role, no matter how small it is." Tan Yue said, his eyes already red.
Xiaoyun and Apan on the side couldn't help but look at each other when they saw this, and both of them sighed silently.
Their little Ali, how could she be so soft-hearted and kind-hearted, she is simply a little angel on earth.
Even Xiaolong felt a little helpless, thinking that Chen Li was too kind. But in this circle, being kind was not a good thing, as you could be stabbed in the back at any time.
He has been in this industry for many years and has seen too many newcomers slowly being polluted, swallowed up, and assimilated by the environment.
I don't know how long she can keep her innocence.
