I felt that Ai Mi must've improved a lot since she was able to put herself in someone else's shoes so quickly. She needs a reward (like a pat on the head), so I ran to the RV to look for Ai Mi, but I found out that other than the two baguettes that were left behind to feed the sparrows, she and the RV were nowhere to be seen.
According to the staff, Ai Mi finished her filming for the day and left the set to go home to sleep. But it seems she got my phone number through Xiao Qin before she went to bed.
How dishonest, she could've just asked me if she wanted my phone number! It was only right and proper to let his sister know his phone number! Also, why were you in a hurry to go home? Did you run away because you knew I was going to praise you?
Is it because you gave me, especially Su Qiao, a role, and acted like a good person that doesn't match your personality, so you ran away out of embarrassment?
Did you get your education from the Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan?
When I came back, Auntie Ren told me: Because the director has an audition for me tomorrow, I have to stay up late to read the script. I have to at least read the parts related to my role.
"No problem." I said heroically, "Doesn't it have a bit of wuxia in it? I'll just treat it as a wuxia novel! "
Then she added another sentence without much confidence: "It wouldn't be an all English script, right?"
Auntie Ren snorted, "I specially prepared an electronic Chinese translation for unmotivated people like you. I'll print it out for you later."
I laughed: "No problem, I'll go home and read it carefully. I definitely won't embarrass China!"
"Go home?" Auntie Ren's questioning tone was mixed with a lot of ridicule, "You're not allowed to take the script with you, so don't even think about going home today."
"Huh? Where would I sleep if I don't go home? "
"You'll sleep wherever Xiao Qin and I sleep today." Auntie Ren replied. Then she realized I had a strange expression and realized I misunderstood her words.
"Brat, what are you thinking? I'm talking about staying at the hotel the crew arranged for us! Xiao Qin and I will live on the fourth floor, you'll live in a single room on the third floor. Don't let your imagination run wild and memorize the script! "
The reason I said it was' memorizing the script 'and not' memorizing lines' was because my character didn't have any lines, all I had to do was snort.
Other than being used as a filming location, Dong Shan Film City is also a famous tourist attraction. It has amusement parks, restaurants, hotels, saunas, bowling alleys, nightclubs … all kinds of facilities can't be missing.
I was arranged to stay in the hotel closest to the filming location. It was a silver-gray post-modern style building. I wasn't sure if it was a three-star or four-star building, but it was more advanced than the one I stayed in when I went to Beijing with my dad in fourth grade. It only had fans but no air conditioning.
I sat on the soft bed in the single room on the third floor. I held a piece of paper that was as thick as the 'History of the World' in my hands. I heard Xiao Qin's complaints as she was forcefully dragged to the fourth floor by Auntie Ren. I realized today was a memorable day for me.
Today was the first time I officially appeared in front of the camera and recorded my figure on film. Although it wasn't a glorious scene of me being kicked away by my sister, and I didn't know if it would be edited out in the end, it was still the first step towards my childhood dream.
But I wasn't as excited as I thought I would be. It's hard to say my childhood dream of becoming a martial arts star has disappeared, but it's not that important right now. I'm currently sitting in the hotel studying the character of the 'deaf-mute evil monk'. I accepted the role of a villain in an American-led film, but it's only for survival.
It's not that the online store's income can't support our lives. After so many years of honest business, we won't be in poverty even if we don't do much. It's just that I have to prepare two ways to deal with Ai ShuQiao's possible attacks.
Also, I still have to return the ¥20,000 that doesn't belong to me to Ai ShuQiao. Since I boasted to Commissioner Wang, there's no reason for me to give up halfway.
I first called my dad to tell him I won't be coming home tonight, but no one picked up and my dad's phone was busy. I could only send him a text saying I'm spending the night at an internet cafe with a classmate and I won't be coming home.
One of the benefits of having a drunkard dad is that you won't get scolded even if you use this excuse to not go home.
Now that I think about it, Americans are really rich. They actually arranged for me, someone who hasn't even passed the audition, to stay in such a decent hotel.
The room was decorated in a very stylish manner. The curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows were decorated with beautiful golden tassels that slightly swayed under the wind from the air conditioner.
The mattress was also very comfortable to sit on, and the single bed was very spacious. Although a giant like Peng TouSi could only sleep on one person, but if it was me and Xiao Qin, we could probably squeeze together and sleep together.
No, not good! How could I imagine such a terrifying scene? It's all because Xiao Qin shouted before she was dragged away by Auntie Ren:
"I'm going to stay and help you warm the bed! Mom, don't worry, I'll go upstairs to find you after I warm the bed! "
Who can you fool with that kind of lie? Do you think Auntie Ren is an idiot! It's summer, summer! Who would like an extra source of heat in the bed! You can talk about sharing a bed after you've cultivated the ability to lower your body temperature!
I heard someone knocking on my door after I read 10 pages of the script.
"Knock, knock, knock." After three consecutive knocks, it seemed like she hesitated for a long time, then she knocked twice and asked in a quiet voice:
"Mr. Ye, are you in your room?"
I let out a long sigh of relief. It's not that Xiao Qin is too good, she has the home advantage here (Auntie Ren). If she had ulterior motives, even if my willpower was stronger than LiuXia Hui, I would still be annoyed by her and I wouldn't be able to read the script.
But isn't Su Qiao the only girl who calls me 'Mr. Ye' near the set? It's already past 8 pm, why is she looking for me this late?
I walked to the door and opened it for her. On the way, I inadvertently glanced at the table next to the TV. There were a lot of gadgets on the table that you could use, but you had to pay for them later. The most eye-catching item was the Durex condom.
Hmph, what a depraved hotel! Why are there so many condoms in a single room? Also, when I thought about how the condoms were not purchased from my home, I became even more furious.
On the left side of the Durex condoms, there were two random condoms lying dejectedly on the table. The words on the side indicated that they were a free gift, so it would be a waste not to use them.
I secretly decided to bring these two condoms home, at least it can be used as a gift for the store to increase popularity!
After the door opened, the girl with long braids who still forgot to put down the hand that knocked on the door was undoubtedly Su Qiao.
Su Qiao looked even skinnier without her armor. Although she was a bit taller than Xiao Qin, she did not reach the height of the class leader. Due to her lack of confidence, she looked shorter than her actual height and younger than her actual age.
Tonight, she was wearing a pair of jeans that had been washed white, and a thin blue wool sweater. These sweaters are usually worn at the start of spring, but it seems a bit too hot to wear right now. I asked him curiously:
"Are you afraid of the cold?"
"No … no." Su Qiao shamefully grabbed the hem of her sweater, "I didn't prepare in advance, so this is the only decent piece of clothing left in the apartment …"
I didn't really understand what she meant, it's always hard to understand a woman's thoughts. But I still politely invited her into the apartment and gave her a bottle of mineral water that Auntie Ren left in the apartment.
"Thank … thank you!"
Su Qiao received the bottle of mineral water, but she did not unscrew the cap. Instead, she sat on the edge of the bed in a daze. The script I left next to her pillow seemed to have triggered her worries and made her frown.
Huh? Didn't you get a permanent role after much difficulty? Why aren't you happy at all?
Since Su Qiao was already sitting on the bed, I moved to the sofa on the side of the bed since I was not familiar with her. There was a rectangular coffee table between us.
"Do you need something from me?" I asked straightforwardly.
I didn't think it was strange or sudden, but Su Qiao actually shivered and looked at me with fear in her eyes. She only understood what I said after two or three seconds.
It seemed like she was waiting for me to speak after the door was closed. No matter what I said, she would probably shiver.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Ye, I was distracted. Mr. Ye helped me a lot, so I came to express my gratitude …"
She forced a smile and said those words, but the bottle of mineral water in her hand was slightly trembling — — shouldn't acrobats be good at maintaining stability?
"Hey, it's already so late, it's not worth the trip!"
I don't think I did anything for Su Qiao. If she wants to thank me, she should thank Ai Mi for suddenly being magnanimous as if she took the wrong medicine.
"Didn't you already say thank you to me in the bamboo forest? Even if you don't think it's enough, you can talk about it tomorrow when you see me on set! "
Su Qiao slightly raised her head. I felt like the smile on her lips was forced out to cater to me.
"Mr. Ye, originally … I would have been satisfied with just playing a small role. I didn't expect that you would actually help me get a long-term role with a name, a line, and a face … I really don't deserve it …"
