Siheyuan: tomb robbing? I am serious about hunting.

Chapter 764 Old Man

The creative idea begins with Su Wan's early morning as a minor actress in Hengdian, connecting her experiences of encountering unspoken rules in auditions, being appreciated by her predecessors, and struggling in the crew. Through details, the cruelty and warmth of the entertainment industry are portrayed, showing the persistence and transformation of new actors on the road to pursuing their dreams. The morning mist in Hengdian has not yet dissipated, and Su Wan is squatting in the corner of the dressing room to tie her shoelaces. The rubber soles of her cheap canvas shoes have cracked. She took out the hot pack hidden in her down jacket. When she tore open the package, the gold powder from yesterday's costume drama was still stained in the cracks of her nails. "Number 37! Maid B!" The sound of the horn of the stage manager pierced the cold air. Su Wan grabbed her costume and rushed into the dressing room. The cotton and linen fabric smelled of mothballs. In the mirror, she applied lipstick to her blue lips, and suddenly remembered her mother's phone call last month: "Xiao Wen next door passed the civil service exam, why don't you..." In front of the monitor on the set, director Zhang Lichuan put down the thermos cup heavily: "This turn is too stiff! Do it again!" Su Wan's knees were numb from kneeling on the blue brick floor, and the wind in December blew sand into her collar. Assistant director Wang Hao came over and brushed his fingers across the back of her hand: "Let's have dinner together tonight? Director Zhang is here too." She pulled her hand back suddenly, and the cuff of her costume swept the prop teacup off. Late at night in the group performance apartment, Su Wan counted the balance on her phone. A new message popped up on WeChat, from Uncle Li, an old group performance in the same crew: "Girl, there is an audition for a web drama tomorrow, I've sent your photo over." She stared at the screen in a daze, and on the bedside table was a faded admission letter from the drama academy - that year her father had a heart attack, she tore up the letter, and came to Hengdian with all her belongings. The ceiling light in the audition studio was so bright that it was hard to open your eyes. Su Wan adjusted her breathing for the umpteenth time and pushed open the door marked "The Crew of "Green Bird". Among the five judges sat the agent of the popular young actress Cheng Yuwei. He glanced at her resume and sneered: "Not a professional? Then try acting a scene where you get slapped." The moment the slap came, Su Wan bit her tongue. The salty smell of blood spread, and she remembered what her teacher said during the art exam training: "The tears of a good actor should flow from the heart." When the second slap came, she suddenly grabbed the other person's wrist, with fire in her eyes: "Director, this character should be relieved in hatred at this moment, right?" In the silence, applause came from the back row. The gray-haired veteran actor Zhou Mingyuan took off his glasses: "Interesting." He turned his head and whispered a few words to the assistant director, and Su Wan heard the words "the newcomer has talent". When she walked out of the audition room, Cheng Yuwei's agent passed by her, and the smell of Chanel No. mixed with contempt: "Little girl, don't be so naive." On the day when "Green Bird" started filming, Su Wan stood in the crowd of extras. She played the little maid next to the heroine, and had only three lines. Cheng Yuwei walked by in ten-centimeter high heels, and the hem of her skirt swept across her ankles: "Remember, don't steal the show in front of the camera." Su Wan lowered her head and replied, her nails pinching into her palms - she had seen the list of investors at the opening ceremony, and the Cheng family was on the list. When filming the scene of chasing the murderer in the rain, an accident happened. The wire of the stuntman suddenly broke, and Su Wan almost instinctively rushed over. The two rolled in the mud and water, her forehead hit the bluestone slab, and blood flowed into her eyes along her brow bone. In the chaos, she heard Zhou Mingyuan shouting: "Don't move this shot!" In front of the monitor, Zhang Lichuan stood up suddenly. In the rain, Su Wan protected the stuntman, and the panic and stubbornness in her eyes came through the camera. "Pass!" The director's voice was full of excitement, "Cut this part into the feature film!" Cheng Yuwei's agent's face was livid, and Zhou Mingyuan stared at Su Wan's back thoughtfully. At the celebration banquet, Su Wan hid in a corner drinking juice. Cheng Yuwei came over with champagne, and the wine splashed on her skirt: "Do you really take yourself seriously?" Before she finished speaking, Zhou Mingyuan's voice came from behind: "Miss Cheng, my new play needs a heroine who dares to fight hard." He turned to Su Wan, his eyes full of the kindness of an elder: "Girl, are you willing to try?" When the notice of the "Flame" crew was posted, Su Wan stared at the words "Female No. : Su Wan" and her fingers trembled slightly. The first scene after the start of filming was a fire scene. She rushed into the artificial smoke wrapped in a heavy costume. The moment the heat wave burned her face, she remembered those late nights eating instant noodles in Hengdian, and remembered her father who was connected to an oxygen tube before he died and said "Don't give up". On the day of filming the explosion scene, an accident happened again. The explosion point detonated prematurely, and the air wave overturned the protective plate. At the critical moment, Zhou Mingyuan threw her to the ground. The back of the old man's head hit the steel frame, and blood stained his costume red. Su Wan hugged the unconscious senior, tears falling on his face: "Teacher Zhou, please wake up!" In the hospital corridor, Cheng Yuwei's agent sneered and shook his phone: "Miss Su, people on the Internet say that you are killing your partner." The hot search term "accident on the set of "Flame"" was hanging high, and the comment area was full of curses. Su Wan squatted in the fire escape and sent a message to her mother: "Mom, I seem to have messed up again." The phone suddenly vibrated. It was Zhou Mingyuan's WeChat voice: "Girl, I saw the rough cut. There was fire in your eyes in the fire scene." The old man's voice was nasal, "Come to the hospital tomorrow and let's go over the script." Su Wan looked up at the starlight outside the window, which was a brilliance that Hengdian would never see. On the day "Flame" was released, Su Wan hid in the corner of the small cinema. When the firefighter she played on the screen rushed into the sea of ​​fire, the whole audience was silent. When the end credits rolled, sobbing came from the back row. After the show, a little girl ran over and said, "Sister, I want to be a hero in the future!" The celebration banquet was held on the rooftop of the Peninsula Hotel. Su Wan was wearing an affordable dress and almost fell on the red carpet. The moment the flash came on, she saw Uncle Li in the crowd, and the old man waved at her with a thermos cup. Cheng Yuwei walked over in high heels, and this time her smile was a little more complicated: "Congratulations." On the podium, Su Wan received the Best Newcomer trophy. The lights were so bright that she couldn't open her eyes. She touched the hot pack in her pocket - it was sent by her mother, and each package was written "Keep warm". "I want to thank every morning in Hengdian," her voice trembled a little, "and those who believed that I could become a star." When the show ended, Zhou Mingyuan handed over the script: "In the next play, we will shoot real firefighters." The head of the old man's cane was engraved with a flame pattern, "But this time, don't let my old bones block the explosion for you." Su Wan agreed with a smile, and looked at the Huangpu River in the distance. The lights of thousands of houses are reflected on the river, just like those nights in Hengdian waiting for dawn, and she finally became her own light. The creative idea starts with Sun Yu seeing the message of his first love Lin Xia in the classmates group, interspersed with the youthful memories of high school and the contact after the reunion. Through the reappearance of campus scenes and the coping with real difficulties, it depicts his journey of pursuing true love across time. When Wutong Xuyu's mobile phone vibrated at his workstation, Sun Yu had just finished revising the tenth version of the plan.
