Chapter 21
Xiao Jiao walked outside the alley, and after a while, he saw Wei Lan coming out of it. He raised his hand to say hello, but the other party treated him like air and turned to another road.
Immediately after Li Quan also came out, Xiao Jiao asked suspiciously: "Deputy Director Li, didn't you assign him a role?"
Li Quan sneered and said, "He has a high-minded character, so he doesn't like it."
Xiao Jiao was a little puzzled, but seeing Li Quan's unwillingness to say more, he changed the subject: "Deputy Director Li, I have a mobile phone, do you want to remember my number?"
Li Quan was in a bad mood, and he didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but now that Xiao Jiao seemed to have climbed to the director's level, he could only reluctantly hold his temper, and then continued filming with a sullen face.
Xiao Jiao found a place to sit, and after a while, he saw an old man with gray beard and hair wearing a melon skin cap coming out of the dressing room, he immediately went up to him and said, "Uncle Tan, you are here!"
The old man imitated his tone and said with a smile: "Xiao brother, you are here too!"
The old man's surname is Tan, he is very old and energetic, everyone in the crew calls him Uncle Tan, he plays the manager of the teahouse, and is Xiao Jiao's rival actor in this additional filming.Uncle Tan is an optimist with a very easy-going temper and always looks cheerful.
"Sit here under the shade of the tree, it's cooler here." Xiao Jiao gave Uncle Tan the small stool he was sitting on just now, and sat on the ground by himself.
"Okay, thank you." Uncle Tan sat down on the stool.
The last time Xiao Jiao mainly interacted with Mrs. Tan, he didn't have a chance to communicate with Mr. Tan, so he just said hello. This time, the two of them were going to play against each other, and the old and the young chatted for a while.It was only then that Xiao Jiao realized that this old man was not a professional actor like himself, but was just a fan of anti-Japanese dramas. A side character, it has been out of control since then.In just two years, Uncle Tan has played the image of an ordinary and righteous old man in six or seven anti-Japanese dramas, and the audience has responded very well. Now, anyone who shoots similar movies and TV dramas in the film and television city will invite him to act. But come.
After hearing this, Xiao Jiao couldn't help but gave Uncle Tan a thumbs up. It turned out that it was never too late to start being an actor. An old man like Uncle Tan has entered the industry, and he has down-to-earthly played a small role that was originally inconspicuous to everyone. The level of recognition is really remarkable.
Uncle Tan smiled and said: "Young brother Xiao, you are not bad either. I am a good judge of people, old man. You acted very well in the scene last time. You are talented. You will definitely become a good actor in the future."
Xiao Jiao looked at the deep crow's feet in the corners of Uncle Tan's eyes, and unconsciously thought of Old Zhao's head, his eyes became a little wet all of a sudden, he sniffed and said, "Thank you, Uncle Tan."
It was 11:30 during the conversation, and the filming of the morning scene was finally finished.Li Quan held up the trumpet and yelled: "The following is 43 extra shots of C+1 shots! Are the actors here?"
"Here we come!" Xiao Jiao had been waiting for four hours, he couldn't help being refreshed when he heard it, and he dragged Uncle Tan into the arena together.
In the last play, the boy in the teahouse completed the task after picking up the cigarette butts used by the underground workers to deliver the information. Now the screenwriter has added a small follow-up, so that the boy happily handed over the information to the boss in the back hall. dispensers.The old shopkeeper put on his reading glasses, took a look at the cigarette butt and took out a roll of paper, his brows furrowed immediately, and then the two had a short conversation.
Little guy (nervous): "Shopkeeper, what's the matter, is something wrong?"
Shopkeeper (anxious): "The enemy will launch an assassination operation in the middle of the night tonight. The situation is urgent. We must first go to the riverside wharf, find a boatman named Lao Liao, and ask him to notify a comrade who is recuperating at his home to transfer as soon as possible."
Boy (volunteered): "Then I'll deliver the letter now, and pretend to go to the river to buy fish!"
The shopkeeper (speaking earnestly): "Okay, then you should be careful, and don't make any mistakes on the way."
Little guy (patting his chest): "Don't worry, we promise to complete the task!"
Just now, Xiao Jiao and Uncle Tan had played each other several times, and the two had cooperated very well, but the details needed to be adjusted a little bit, and the director shouted OK after the third filming.
When the work was over, the director walked past Xiao Jiao, seemingly unintentionally, and asked in a low voice, "Does Second Young Master have anything to say?"
Xiao Jiao was stunned for a moment before realizing that the director was referring to Yuan Shaojun, and replied: "No, he is going to Xilin City on a business trip today, and he has to catch a plane early in the morning."
"So that's it, I'm going to participate in the Golden Sunflower Film Festival." The director said with a half-smile, "Say hello to Er Shao for me when you have time."
This kid has a pure and innocent face, he can't tell that he is so clever, he hugged Yuan Ershao's golden thigh so quickly, he should have climbed into bed last night, otherwise how could he know Yuan Ershao's movements so clear.
Xiao Jiao didn't know that the director was playing a small movie about the Eighteen Bans in his mind, so he nodded and agreed after hearing what he said: "Okay."
He took out his mobile phone and wanted to make a call to Yuan Shaojun. After only a long time, he had a lot to say to the other party, but he hesitated after dialing out the number.Yuan Shaojun said last night that he would hold meetings for several days in a row. His tone was full of reluctance. He must have been busy and working hard on business trips. He had nothing special to do, so it was better not to bother him.
So he put the phone back in the satchel again.
It happened to be twelve o'clock, and the crew had dinner. All the actors and crew who participated in the filming in the morning had lunch boxes. Xiao Jiao was going to help Uncle Tan get it back, but Uncle Tan waved his hand and said, "No need, I'm done with today's scene." The filming is over, your Aunt Qian has already cooked dinner at home and is waiting for me, I have to go back and eat."
"Okay, you go slowly." It's great to have someone at home waiting to have dinner together, Xiao Jiao felt a little envious in his heart.
Unexpectedly, Uncle Tan had just taken two steps, and accidentally sprained his foot on a ridge, and yelled "Ouch".
Xiao Jiao quickly supported him, "Uncle Tan, are your feet okay?"
Uncle Tan tried to step on the ground twice, took a breath and said, "It's okay, it shouldn't hurt any bones."
Seeing that he was still a little unsteady walking, Xiao Jiao said, "You better not go by yourself, I'll carry you out."
There is a long distance from here to the entrance of the film and television city, and it takes about a quarter of an hour to walk. Uncle Tan is getting old, and he will get out of the injury even if he is not injured.
"How can this be done? My old bones are still quite heavy, and your child must not be able to carry them." Uncle Tan declined, "I'll just rest here for a while before leaving. It should be fine."
Although Uncle Tan is getting old, his body is not weak. He is two centimeters taller than Xiao Jiao, and his weight is indeed not light.
Without saying a word, Xiao Jiao turned around and picked up Uncle Tan on his back, and strode forward.
"Oh, little brother Xiao, I can't see that you are so thin, but you are really strong." Uncle Tan was taken aback, and felt that Xiao Jiao was not struggling to carry him, so he no longer refused, and let him Behind my back.
Xiao Jiao smiled and said, "You are too much."
When he reached the gate of the film and television city, Uncle Tan thanked him and told him to go back to eat quickly, and then got into a taxi.
Xiao Jiao waved goodbye and waited for the taxi to leave before returning to the set.
It took half an hour to go back and forth, but when he returned, the crew had already eaten, and the box lunch was gone.
Now it takes a lot of time to find a place to eat outside the film and television city. Xiao Jiao worried that he would not be able to catch up with the next opportunity, so he ran to the canteen not far away, wanting to buy some food to pad his stomach.
As a result, he saw Tong'er instant noodles at a glance, and swallowed involuntarily. This food is really delicious, fragrant and spicy, and it is really convenient to eat. It can be soaked in boiling water for a few minutes.The key is that the price is not too expensive, only five yuan a bowl, which is much cheaper than the 12 yuan a bowl of plain noodles outside the film and television city.
But last night Yuan Ershao said that he was not allowed to eat it, and that he would become stupid if he ate it. Wouldn't it be good if he secretly ate it behind his back?
While struggling, the phone rang, Xiao Jiao took it out and saw that the caller was Yuan Shaojun.
An emotion called joy spread instantly in his heart, Xiao Jiao quickly pressed the answer button, and before the other party could speak, he yelled cheerfully: "Second young master!"
Yuan Shaojun just took a sip of water, and was still thinking about what to say first, when he suddenly choked when he heard such a cry, and coughed several times.
