When one person knows something, it often means that everyone knows it, and the news may even be distorted.

So, after work that night, Zhao Liying returned to her room and was about to get a kettle of hot water when she saw her roommate, makeup artist Xiao Fang, coming back excitedly, and then looking at her hesitantly as if he wanted to say something.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Zhao touched his face, wondering if he hadn't removed his makeup thoroughly. Just as he was about to find a mirror to take a look, he saw Xiao Fang asking excitedly yet restrainedly.

"You're together with Producer Wei?"

Zhao Liying: “???”

Looking at Xiao Zhao who was confused, Xiao Fang revealed the news he had heard to his roommate.

"Someone saw the two of you in the parking lot, eating ice cream together, and then got in the car and blah blah. They also said that you are Producer Wei's girlfriend, and that he specially arranged this role for you, so he personally picked you up to join the crew..."

Zhao Liying was stunned: "What the hell is this? Who spread this rumor? Brother Yang and I have never seen him in the room, and we are not as familiar with him as you are."

"real?"

Xiao Fang saw that Zhao Liying did not seem to be pretending, so he was skeptical. Zhao Liying did not know whether to laugh or cry.

"I just want to be someone's girlfriend, but they don't like me. Look at him being with the female lead and the second female lead every day. Lou Yixiao's eyes are almost on him. With so many women around him, there's no place for a supporting role like me."

"Too."

Xiao Fang nodded and thought about the usual times. She and Zhao Liying usually went in and out together, but she didn't really notice anything fishy going on between them.

However, why does Xiao Zhao's words sound a little jealous...

Xiao Fang rolled his eyes and bumped Zhao Liying's shoulder with a sly smile: "Tell me the truth, do you have a crush on Wei Yang?"

Zhao Liying's expression froze. She neither admitted nor denied it. She just asked a question.

"The kettle in the room is broken. I'll go to the water room to get some. Do you want some?"

"Don't you want to change the subject?"

"You don't want it?"

"…want."

…

The next day at work, Zhao Liying and Xiao Fang came to the dressing room. Just as they sat down, they ran into Lou Yixiao and Zhao Ji who came in hand in hand.

They are all young people in their twenties, working in the same crew, and they usually have a good time together.

But the atmosphere today was obviously a bit awkward. Zhao Ji was okay, at least she nodded. Lou Yixiao pretended not to see Zhao Liying and found a place far away from Zhao Liying when she was putting on makeup.

"What? You really think you're the boss."

Xiao Fang was indignant and complained softly. Zhao Liying pulled her, but couldn't help smiling bitterly in her heart.

She has been very cautious since she came to the crew, but she didn't expect that she would offend someone.

Coming out of the dressing room, Zhao Liying went to the playground to prepare for the scene. In this scene, the male lead played basketball, and the female lead called on the girls in the class to come over and cheer for them. Zhao Liying's role was one of them, commonly known as the background board.

"Come on, everyone, look at my gestures, and when the camera comes over, cheer and cheer."

The crew was divided into two groups. One group was shooting the literary scenes on the other side, while this side was under the direction of assistant director Fu Mao.

The staff was directing the formation on the spot. The female lead Yang Rong would definitely be in the C position. The second female lead and the person who had a connection with her, Shen Tiantian, would be treated almost the same as the female lead. The third female lead, Lou Yixiao, was in front of the two Mengs in the play, so she would also be arranged together.

There are limited shots, and these three people take up more than half of them. The rest depends on whether the supporting character is lucky or shameless.

But this time, the assistant director personally called on him: "Xiao Zhao, you stand next to Sister Shen, um, yes, with the characters."

Zhao Liying, who was originally on the edge, was pulled by the stage staff to the side of the C-position trio, and was immediately filled with complicated gazes from other actors.

This position is close to the C position, so the mid-shot will definitely be included, and there may even be a few close-ups.

Don’t think that one or two shots are insignificant. The protagonists may not care. The minor supporting roles and the big and small special roles only have a few shots in total. Any opportunity to show your face is worth cherishing.

Zhao Liying gritted her teeth and stood in position, looking a little nervous. Shen Tiantian patted her on the shoulder.

"Don't be afraid, just follow my pace."

"Thank you, Sister Shen."

Zhao Liying quickly expressed her gratitude, although she strongly suspected that it was this woman who spread what happened yesterday.

Because she is a relative of someone, and a special relative at that, Shen Tiantian is aloof in the crew, yet also a little embarrassed.

Male actors didn't dare to get close to her, but female actors could. However, Shen Tiantian herself was a bit sensitive, and she would easily think of something wrong whether someone was far away or close to her.

So Zhao Liying suspected that it was Shen Tiantian's doing. In this way, Zhao Liying also became a "connected person" in the crew, and Shen Tiantian also had a companion and did not have to become the target of public criticism.

Although she grumbled in her heart, Zhao Liying did not dare to offend Shen Tiantian, and she had to accept the favor of others for protecting and helping her.

Feeling the increasingly complicated gazes around her, Zhao Liying felt like there was something stuck in her throat, like a thorn in her back, like sitting on pins and needles, like an ox carrying a heavy load, like walking on thin ice...

…

Unlike Zhao Liying, who was trembling and shaking, Wei Yang, who had also just started working, also received strange looks.

However, due to their different status, there was no hostility or scrutiny, but more teasing and joking. Even director Liu Junjie couldn't help but make a joke.

"Xiao Wei, you're really quick to act. That girl has only been on the crew for less than half a month."

Fan Ming, who plays the role of the dean, also laughed and said, "If Lu Xinghe in the play had your ability, when Yu Huai returns from abroad, his and Geng Geng's children will be able to help with the cooking."

Wei Yang smiled bitterly: "If I say that Xiao Zhao and I are really not familiar with each other and we were just chatting about the script, would you believe it?"

“No.”

Another assistant director, Jiang Dazhuang, shook his head and sighed: "I guess you like petite and cute characters. No wonder you wrote Geng Geng."

Liu Junjie thought back to Zhao Liying's appearance and said, "Yeah, Zhao is actually quite suitable to play Geng Geng. Xiao Wei, you have selfish motives."

Wei Yang: “…”

This time, he can’t get rid of it even if he jumps into the Yellow River! Besides, who said he likes petite and cute girls? Obviously, petite and cute girls, intellectual big sisters, sweet girls next door, cold queens, hot girls, pure goddesses, sexy fairies, gentle young women... and so on and so forth.

As long as it looks good, he likes it! Wei Yang, who thinks he has regained his youth, is too lazy to talk nonsense with these greasy middle-aged men. He runs to the side and recites his lines. He hears Liu Junjie and others teasing him again.

"Haha, Xiao Wei is shy."

"It's great to be young. I was also so pure in my love life back then."

"Da Zhuang, please take care of Xiao Zhao when you get back. We are all family now."

“…”

Joking aside, everyone didn't forget the important matter.

The role of Lu Xinghe played by Wei Yang has a lot of scenes, but his main opponents are the female lead Yang Rong and the director of education Fan Ming.

Not to mention Yang Rong, who has only been in the industry for a few years, Fan Ming, who became famous for his role in "Wulin Waijia", can be said to be the most famous actor in the "The Best of Us" crew.

The reason why the crew chose him was because Wei Yang strongly recommended him.

He thought that Fan Ming had a strong comedic side, which made the dean of studies more humorous and warm while being strict.

Wei Yang had seen Fan Ming play a similar role in his previous life and his performance was excellent, so when he was "creating" the script, many details were written directly according to Fan Ming's, and in the end he got the role as he wished.

Fan Ming's debut was not too early, he became famous with "The Story of the Kitchen Team" in 2000.

However, he started performing full-time in the 1980s. Although he was not a professional, he worked in the army art troupe for many years and had solid acting skills.

Not to mention those comedy films and TV series, he performed well in the reality-themed films "Migrant Workers", "Around the House" and "Cell Phone". He was not inferior to the top mainland actors Chen Daoming and Wang Zhiwen, and even slightly stole the limelight.

There is even a title in the industry of "Two Fans Stealing the Show", one is him and the other is Fan Wei.

It is impossible for ordinary actors to control the acting of these two people. They have no real skills and they don’t even have the temper when all the roles are snatched away.

When Wei Yang usually acted with him, he would intentionally ask for advice and Fan Ming was willing to teach him.

On the one hand, he is a kind-hearted person, and he knows that his role was arranged by Wei Yang, and he does it out of kindness. The other two are half-fellow villagers.

Many people think that Fan Ming is from Shandong Province. His ancestral home is just in Linshi, Shandong Province, but he was actually born and raised in Xushi, Jiangsu Province.

Wei Yang's hometown, Zao City, is right next to Xu City. Although the two cities belong to two different provinces, their dialects, tastes, customs and local conditions are very similar. The two cities have close exchanges and often intermarry.

For people in Zao City, Xu City is more like a fellow villager than many prefecture-level cities in Shandong Province.

Not to mention Xu City, which simply doesn't care about other prefecture-level cities in Jiangsu Province. Its fellow villagers are either from Anhui Province or Shandong Province.

With this kind of relationship, there is no need to say much. You can chat in dialect and immediately feel like half of our own people in this foreign province.

Fan Ming's style is very scene-stealing, but he is also very presentable, able to give Wei Yang a certain amount of room to play, thus motivating the inexperienced Wei Yang to perform better.

Wei Yang is very fortunate that he has created a relatively comfortable environment for himself to grow up in and has several good teachers and friends to help him.

It allows him to fully integrate the theoretical knowledge of the school with the practical experience of the crew, and quickly improve on the road of being an actor...
