During the winter vacation, Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong, led by Tao Jing, went to the No. 1 Middle School in the city to sign a direct admission agreement.
Tao Jing told Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong that it was holiday now and she wanted to take them to play in the city for a few more days before going back.
Pei Tiantian was very happy when she heard that.
Take this opportunity to get familiar with the city environment, otherwise you won’t even know how to get around when you come to study in the future.
After arriving at No. 1 Middle School, they were received by someone from the Admissions Office.
The teacher in the admissions office was called Yu Xiaoqin. When she heard that Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong both got full marks in the China Cup competition, she looked at them with the most gentle eyes, and she wished that they could come to No. 1 Middle School to attend classes right away.
Pei Tiantian flipped through the contents of the agreement. Three years of tuition and miscellaneous fees were waived, and there was a 50 yuan living allowance every month. She was also directly arranged to study in the best rocket class in the junior high school.
Pei Tiantian signed her name with satisfaction. After signing the agreement, the two of them, led by Yu Xiaoqin and Tao Jing, went to No. 1 Middle School to personally visit the junior high school department of the middle school.
No. 1 Middle School is worthy of being the best middle school in the city. It has an elegant environment, a newly built library, and classrooms equipped with all kinds of supporting facilities.
This also made Pei Tiantian less regretful of her decision.
As expected, I still have to go to the city to study. I can't receive such good educational conditions if I stay in the countryside.
After leaving No. 1 Middle School, Tao Jing took Gu Rong and Pei Tiantian to a nearby amusement park for some fun.
What Tao Jing didn't expect was that Gu Rong and Pei Tiantian seemed to have no interest in anything in the amusement park. After playing on the carousel and Ferris wheel, they lost interest.
Pei Tiantian thinks that the current amusement facilities are too outdated, so she doesn't want to play them.
Gu Rong was simply not interested in the amusement park. He even asked Tao Jing where the library was in the city because he wanted to go there to read books.
Tao Jing was quite amused and helpless.
She shouldn't have treated these two precocious kids as playful children, so Tao Jing held one of them by the hand and took them to the library in the city center to read books.
Just as she arrived at the library entrance, Tao Jing was suddenly stopped by two people.
A bald man and a man wearing glasses looked at Gu Rong and Pei Tiantian with a smile, and then said to Tao Jing, "Madam, are you interested in letting your two children go over there for an audition? Our crew is filming in the park over there, and the extras will get 200 yuan each."
"My two little classmates, do you want to make a guest appearance? If you go, each of you will get 200 yuan, and you can use this money to buy a lot of delicious food!"
Seeing that Tao Jing didn't say anything, the two men talked to Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong again.
"The two little classmates have such good images, it would be a pity not to go. They can earn a few hundred yuan just by playing a minor role, isn't that great?"
Pei Tiantian found it a little funny. What's the use of having a good image? They were just there to serve as the background of the camera.
However, when Pei Tiantian heard the price of 200 yuan, she was still a little tempted.
Tao Jing glanced at them warily, "Who is your director?"
The bald man said: "Do you know Director Qi An? He is a famous director!"
Tao Jing was a little skeptical when she heard this. When would a big director like Qi An come to a small city like Yu City?
The man with glasses said, "We really didn't lie to you. The crew needed a hundred young actors temporarily, but now that the schools are on holiday, we can't gather enough people in a short time, so we ran to the street to recruit people."
"Girl, just come with us and take a look, and you will know whether we are lying or not."
Pei Tiantian blinked.
Director Qi An, isn’t this the heroine’s benefactor?
The big director who brought the heroine into the entertainment industry.
But Qi An should have filmed the movie when the heroine was in the second year of junior high school, so how come it was suddenly brought forward?
Pei Tiantian was puzzled, so she asked, "Uncle, what movie are you shooting?"
The bald man said: "The movie "The Truth, The Truth" and the big star Jiang Ziyu are filming there. We really didn't lie."
"The Truth, The Truth", starring Jiang Ziyu, everything is right.
It seems that Qi An really came to Yu City to shoot this movie two years in advance, and this movie is also Xue Ningxiang's debut work.
Xue Ningxiang plays Xiaoling, the daughter of the movie heroine Zhang Meng in this movie.
Zhang Meng abandoned the young Xiaoling for some unavoidable reasons. Then Zhang Meng became an elementary school teacher. When she took her students on a spring outing, she accidentally met the twelve-year-old Xiaoling. This was also the first time the mother and daughter met after their reunion.
Although Xue Ningxiang's character Xiaoling only appeared for a few minutes, she died soon after.
But this role is crucial because the whole movie is mainly about Zhang Meng's search for the truth about his daughter Xiaoling's death.
Therefore, Xiaoling's appearance also plays a great role in promoting the plot.
Pei Tiantian could only attribute the filming of the movie inexplicably being moved forward two years to changes in the plot.
Anyway, a lot of the plot has changed, so this doesn't matter.
However, Pei Tiantian rolled her eyes.
It seems like a good idea to go to the set to see what's going on, and you can also earn two hundred dollars.
And Pei Tiantian really wanted to see what Jiang Ziyu looked like.
The novel says that Jiang Ziyu was a famous beauty in the entertainment industry, although she later died of depression.
But her beauty is still remembered by many people, and she always has a place when we list the beauties in the entertainment industry.
Qi An is also an internationally renowned director. Although he is notoriously sharp-tongued and foul-mouthed, except for being gentle towards Xue Ningxiang, Pei Tiantian has never seen any star in the novel that Qi An has not scolded.
"Godmother, let's go and have a look. I've never seen a star before!"
Pei Tiantian pulled at the corner of Tao Jing's clothes and begged.
Tao Jing was obviously also moved.
She has seen many works of Director Qi An and likes this director very much.
Moreover, the heroine of this movie is Jiang Ziyu. Tao Jing is her old classmate. Since she knew that she was filming here, she must meet her.
Tao Jing nodded. "Okay, let's go take a look too. Gu Rong, do you want to go? If not, stay in the library and read. Tiantian and I will pick you up later."
Gu Rong had no expression on his face. Although he didn't want to join in the fun, he didn't want to leave Tao Jing and Pei Tiantian even more. So Gu Rong gritted his teeth and said, "Teacher Tao, I'll go with you..."
When Tao Jing heard him say that, she took him and Pei Tiantian and followed the two men into the park quickly.
The park has been cleared, and many of the people in the park now are adults with their children acting as extras.
Pei Tiantian estimated that there were probably dozens of young actors queuing up.
The stage management was arranging positions for them, asking them to stand here and there, looking for camera positions.
Seeing that the bald man and the man with glasses brought two more children, the venue staff directly added Pei Tiantian and Gu Rong to the queue.
Tao Jing, standing not far away, saw the middle-aged man sitting in the middle of the bustling crowd, staring at the machine intently.
It’s really director Qi An.
Tao Jing looked around and saw a tall, fair-skinned beauty standing in front of several young actors.
She still had a smile on her face as she was whispering about the play to the young actors.
Tao Jing quickly recognized that the person was Jiang Ziyu, and a smile appeared on her lips.
Jiang Ziyu happened to look up and met Tao Jing's eyes. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, as if she couldn't believe that she would see Tao Jing here.
Jiang Ziyu mouthed to her, "Wait until I finish work!"
Tao Jing nodded to show that she understood.
Pei Tiantian was standing in line in the queue. She held Gu Rong's hand and looked around at the scenery.
It seems that the scene being filmed today is indeed the one where Xue Ningxiang auditioned.
However, the filming of the movie has been brought forward. Will Xue Ningxiang still come for the audition like in the novel?
And at that time, Xue Ningxiang was taken to the audition by her stepfather Liu Changlong.
Now that Liu Changlong is not her stepfather, I wonder who will bring the heroine to the audition? Maybe it's Yang Qiong, or maybe it's someone else.
Just at this moment, Pei Tiantian happened to hear someone talking about "Jiang Ziyu". She looked in the direction of those people and saw Jiang Ziyu.
Wow, she is really a beauty! She looks like a fairy, and she is different from everyone else.
Pei Tiantian excitedly shook Gu Rong's arm, "Brother Gu Rong, look! Beautiful sister Jiang Ziyu!"
At Pei Tiantian's urging, Gu Rong frowned, glanced at Jiang Ziyu, and then looked away.
This rather cold look made Pei Tiantian very confused, "Brother Gu Rong, isn't Jiang Ziyu pretty? Don't you like her? Why are you so cold?"
Gu Rong: “I don’t like it.”
A question mark popped up in Pei Tiantian's mind: "She is so beautiful, you don't like her?!"
Gu Rong looked at Pei Tiantian expressionlessly, "I don't even know her, why should I like her?"
Why would he like a stranger?
Pei Tiantian: "But she is a big star."
Gu Rong: "I don't like big stars either."
Pei Tiantian: “…”
Well, it seems like the villain isn’t interested in women.
After being disappointed by the villain's few words, Pei Tiantian stopped making a fuss.
Soon the stage management assigned her and Gu Rong to different people.
Pei Tiantian was assigned to play a supporting role as a teacher in the movie, who was a colleague of the heroine Zhang Meng.
Now all Pei Tiantian has to do is stand in the line, listen to the supporting teacher speak, and act as a background board.
Since this was not the main scene of the movie, they shot it very quickly and finished it in just a few shots.
After Pei Tiantian received her labor fee of 200 yuan, she went to find Tao Jing.
As soon as I found Tao Jing, I saw Tao Jing pointing not far away.
Pei Tiantian followed Tao Jing's gaze and suddenly felt jealous.
The role of the villain was actually assigned directly to the heroine Jiang Ziyu, who played their class teacher Zhang Meng.
Gu Rong was only one step away from Jiang Ziyu. The other young actors looked at Jiang Ziyu without blinking, with admiration and love in their eyes.
Only the villain stood by with an expressionless face, looking like a worker forced to move bricks.
"Brother Gu Rong really doesn't know how lucky he is. Jiang Ziyu is so beautiful. It would be great to be able to film with Jiang Ziyu, even if I am just a supporting role."
Tao Jing couldn't help but smile when she heard Pei Tiantian's sour words. "Don't envy Gu Rong. How about I take you to dinner with Jiang Ziyu later?"
Pei Tiantian was stunned for a moment, then quickly looked at Tao Jing, "Godmother? You...you know Jiang Ziyu?"
Tao Jing nodded calmly, "Jiang Ziyu is my high school classmate."
Pei Tiantian stared with her round grape eyes. Tao Jing actually had such a relationship with Jiang Ziyu!
Ahahaha, this is such a coincidence.
Tao Jing: "So we have to wait here for Jiang Ziyu to finish work before we can eat with her. Are you hungry? I'll go buy some food for you and Gu Rong."
Pei Tiantian placed her small chubby hand in Tao Jing's palm and said, "Godmother, I'll go with you. I think Brother Gu Rong's filming won't be finished for a while."
Tao Jing nodded.
Gu Rong kept hearing all kinds of noisy sounds, including those of the crew, the child actor's family, and the child actor himself.
Gu Rong was very upset after hearing this.
He was looking around for Tao Jing and Pei Tiantian, wanting to tell them that he didn't want to be a supporting actor anymore.
But I found that the two people had gone somewhere unknown.
There was a moment of shock on Gu Rong's face.
"Director Qi, the actors I selected to audition for the role of Xiaoling are here." Assistant Director Li spoke to Qi An.
Qi An didn't even raise his head. "I know. Let them wait first."
Several little girls around eleven or twelve years old were dressed up beautifully, and some even had mature makeup on.
Especially the little girl in the lead, who was about 1.6 meters tall, wearing a knee-length miniskirt and blue eyeshadow on her eyelids. She looked too mature and didn't even look like a child.
The girl seemed to be unaccustomed to dressing like this, so she looked a little uneasy, "Sister, I don't think I should dress like this, it's too mature..."
Xue Tingting pulled the little girl over and whispered in her ear, "How can you be mature? Look at the other actors, aren't they also wearing makeup? Don't forget that the assistant director said you have a talent for acting. I believe you can definitely get this role."
Xue Ningxiang took a deep breath, nodded, and walked over with her head held high.
The assistant director was just about to lead these people over when he unexpectedly saw a group of little girls, each one dressed more seductively than the other.
The corner of his mouth twitched, and he thought to himself that this was not good.
Because Director Qi was personally selecting the actors today, he specifically told a few young actors to dress up nicely to leave a good impression on Director Qi. However, he didn't expect that these eleven or twelve-year-old girls were dressed too beautifully.
They are beyond their age.
Assistant Director Li quickly stepped forward and whispered, "What are you doing? Take off your makeup quickly. What a shame!"
"Assistant Director Li, where are the people you brought with you?" Qi An stood up from the machine and asked.
"It's here." Assistant Director Li had no choice but to take Xue Ningxiang and the others over there.
