The female extra called by Zhang Zhi was Chen Jieru, who was a very beautiful girl, about 1.7 meters tall, fair skin and a good figure.

Chen Jieru was completely stunned when she saw Zhang Ran sitting with Zhang Zhi. She couldn't believe her eyes. She rubbed them hard and then stared at Zhang Ran. Just now, Zhang Zhi called her and said mysteriously that a director wanted to talk to her. She thought she was a little director from the fifth and sixth tier, but she never dreamed that it would be Zhang Ran.

Zhang Zhi smiled proudly and said, "Stop looking, it's true, sit down!"

Chen Jieru smiled embarrassedly, quickly sat down beside Zhang Zhi, looking at Zhang Ran excitedly, "Director Zhang, I didn't expect to meet you, it's like a dream.

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Hope is not a nightmare!"

Chen Jieru opened the bag and took out a small book from it, and said with a pious look on her face: "Director Zhang, can you sign me? I especially like your movies. Many times I can't hold on anymore. After watching your movie, I gritted my teeth and survived."

Zhang Ran heard that Chen Jieru persisted because of her own movie. She didn't know whether she helped her or hurt her. She took the pen and wrote the sentence "I hope the future will get better and better", and then signed her name.

Chen Jieru put away Zhang Ran’s signature and asked, “Director Zhang, why are you with Zhang Zhi?”

Zhang Ran glanced at Yang Mi: "I took the students out to experience life. I happened to meet Zhang Zhi at the construction site. I just heard him say that life is not easy for a female extra, so I invited you to chat with you."

After chatting with Zhang Ran and the others for a while, Chen Jieru understood why Zhang Ran asked her to come out. She was a little envious of Yang Fan, who could meet such a teacher and enter such a school.

Chen Jieru quickly talked about her experience. Her family is from a good place. In the county where she lives, her parents opened a convenience store selling tobacco, alcohol and daily necessities, which is considered a well-off family.

However, Chen Jieru is not a material for studying. She likes to sing and dance since she was a child. Elementary school and junior high school are all pillars of school art evenings. Chen Jieru wants to go to art school, but her parents are not allowed. In her parents' eyes, the girls in the art school are not serious. Chen Jieru went to high school, but couldn't continue to study, so she had a headache as soon as she memorized her studies and often skipped classes. In the third year of high school, Chen Jieru left her parents a goodbye letter and went to Peking to work as a Beijing drifter.

Like all extras, Chen Jieru plays a supporting role in the crew during the day and sleeps back to the rented basement at night. Chen Jieru works very hard, but three years later, she still receives a supporting role like a maid and a passerby. More than once, and not only one person hinted to Chen Jieru that there are hidden rules in this industry, and if you want to play the show, you have to sleep with others. However, Chen Jieru is quite strong and firmly disagrees. So, she gradually can't even get into the role of a maid.

In November last year, Chen Jieru couldn't pay the rent and was desperate, so she went to sell blood with the girl in the same room. Unexpectedly, they walked back with the money. When they passed the overpass, they met a child pickpocket, stole their money, turned around and ran away. They wanted to chase but they didn't catch up at all, so they could only stand on the overpass and cry loudly.

When I returned to the basement at night, the boss told them that the rent had been delayed for half a month, and if I didn’t pay it, I would have to go to the streets. Many male extras slept on the streets, but they were girls. How could they dare to go to the streets to sleep? I could only ask the boss to beg for a few days. The boss said that many people in your business have been on the table in the bar, and it is quite profitable to sit on the table. Chen Jieru and the others had no choice, so they went to the table the next night.

Chen Jieru was afraid that Zhang Ran and the others would look down on her, so she emphasized: "I only sit on the stage and don't sell myself!"

I just heard Zhang Zhi say that the female extra was forced to go to the stage, and Zhang Ran just acted as a story. Now when he heard Chen Jieru say it in person, he felt a little sad: "Why don't you find a job well? It's better than you now!"

Chen Jieru bit her lip and shook her head: "I'm still unwilling to give up, I still want to be an actor. If I find a formal job, I don't have time to wait for a live film!"

Unwilling to give up, the extras at the entrance of the Beijing Film Studio have this kind of mentality. Early extras often used the saying "Zhang Guoli also climbed down from the overpass" to encourage themselves. They would tell every newcomer that looking at the resumes of those big-name stars, the starting point was not very high back then. Ge You raised pigs in the countryside, and later joined the All-China Federation of Art Troupes, he was just a supporting role. Now extras will say that Wang Baoqiang went out from here, and many people are like Wang Baoqiang's second... It is this kind of psychology that makes extras go on one after another and don't give up until the Yellow River.

Fan Yang still couldn't understand: "Why didn't you go home?"

Chen Jieru sighed and said, "When I came out, I told my family that I would definitely become a big star. Why do I tell my family now? I said that I didn't regard me as a star, but became a lady on the stage?" After saying this, her nose felt sore and tears fell.

Seeing Chen Jieru crying, Yang Mi also started crying, thinking that Chen Jieru is too pitiful. How could such a good girl fall to this point? She pulled her open arm: "Teacher Zhang, please help her, help her!"

Zhang Ran sighed slightly. I don’t know how many people come to Peking like Chen Jieru. Most of them feel that they are no worse than celebrities, but they are not satisfied with their talents, waiting to be discovered by a director and become famous in one fell swoop. In fact, most of these people just feel good about themselves. Most of these extras do not have the talent to act and do not have the skills, so it is impossible for them to make a name for themselves.

It is easier for girls, especially those who have good figures and beautiful faces like Chen Jieru. As long as they get along well with the assistant director, they can easily become special contracts. But they only know what they are doing, as long as they are not fools. Chen Jieru is the kind who is not good at the Tao, so she has been so miserable.

But it was precisely because she didn't make it up that Zhang Ran decided to help her: "Do you know Tangshan dialect?"

Zhang Zhi took the lead and said, "I can!" Chen Jieru said, "I can't, but I can learn."

Zhang Ran felt that this girl was really interesting. Most extras must insist that they could do it first, and then try to learn after they took the opportunity, but she told the truth. He pondered and said, "Let's do this, you two go to Jiaozuo Film and Television City tomorrow and go to the crew of "God's Will". I will call the director and Gao Xixi later and ask them to arrange some small roles for you."

Ordinary extras are temporarily found. They usually recruit the crew before the filming of TV series or movies, or when the filming starts. The crew will take as long as the filming takes; if the crew switches to Hengdian and go to another location to shoot, you will also follow them. Ordinary extras only care about lunch, while those with the crew must have food and accommodation, especially when they go to other places. They are more stable than ordinary extras, and they have been working with the crew for several months, unlike extras who have to consider their livelihood every day.

Chen Jieru and Zhang Zhi were both overjoyed and said in unison: "Thank you, Teacher Zhang!"

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "In addition, you can practice Tangshan dialect. I have a play at the end of July, so I can arrange some small roles for you!"

Chen Jieru and Zhang Zhi were so excited that they didn't know what to say, so they could only thank them in one go.

Chen Jieru had no choice but to continue telling stories she heard and saw. She knew a girl named Chuchu. At first she came to take the art school because she was also a little celebrity in her hometown and could sing and dance, but when she arrived in Peking, she realized that her talent was nothing. She took the acting department of Central Academy of Drama and Beijing Film Academy twice without success. Later, she gave up on her professional courses and used some of the relationships she met several times to work as a crew to become a drift in Beijing. Over the years, Chuchu only played a few maids and other supporting roles. She didn't see a decent role, but she had sex with many directors. In December last year, she got pregnant with a director's child and went to the countryside to give birth to the child and gave it to her.

This is not a miserable thing. What is really miserable is that some scammers tell girls that they are models. In fact, they ask them to be nude models after they arrive, and even ask them to be models for naked photos. They do it once and then lock them up. There is a second and third time. Over time, they accept their fate when they encounter something that sells **.

Later, Chen Jieru couldn't help but sigh: "The most uncomfortable thing about being an extra is not the hard work, but the lack of hope. It's like staying in a dark room, with darkness in front of her eyes and no light."

The students who performed must do morning exercises in the morning, and Zhang Ran’s class was even more stormy and rainy, so Zhang Ran announced that it would be here until eleven o’clock today.

Chen Jieru and Zhang Zhi both robbed the bill and asked Zhang Ran to pay the bill. Where could Zhang Ran ask them to pay, he threatened them. If someone robbed me, the matter of joining the group would be hyped. Chen Jieru and Zhang Zhi had no choice but to give up and said that they would definitely invite Zhang Ran next time.

After leaving the food stall and getting on the car, Zhang Ran looked at the vendors who were still busy, turned around and said to Yang Mi: "Look at these people who are still busy, how do you feel?"

Yang Mi raised her head and looked at the busy people behind the many stalls on the street. She looked at the sweat on her forehead and looked at their focused eyes. She felt that they were the same people as Niu Dongmei and her husband. These people who had never been taken seriously before seemed to have a sense of sacredness that was hard to be looked down upon.

After a long time, Yang Mi sighed and said, "I never cared about them before, but after experiencing so much today, I really think they are very amazing people. Although they live a hard life, they are full of hope for life! I think life is like a rose with thorns, which brings beauty to people and can also deeply hurt you. But pain cannot stop everyone from getting that bright heart, and the flower is hope. Although this word is very ethereal, it has magical power, pushing us to keep moving forward and embrace tomorrow's sun!"

"It seems that I really feel something!" Zhang Ran smiled, "I have always said that acting is not taught. The teacher can only train you basic skills and can only guide you. In fact, the reason is very simple. There are thousands of people in the world and thousands of situations. Our teachers can't finish teaching. We can't summarize a model for you to make arrangements. If you want to play a role, you need to observe, analyze, and experience according to the role. If you play a farmer, you can observe, experience the life of the farmer, and observe and experience the life of the workers. Some performers.

People like Huang Bo and Zhou Xun have rich enough experiences and have seen all kinds of people, and they will be much more relaxed when they perform. So when the actors end up, they are competing for life experience and cultural cultivation. If an actor cannot treat everything around him with a calm attitude and treat these seemingly humble little people with a superior attitude, then you will jump out of life and lack life experience. If an actor does not have the nourishment of life, it is like trees losing nutrients and ultimately it will be difficult to become a talent!"

Yang Mi nodded thoughtfully and said, "I remembered it when you say that. I have met many celebrities, many big names, and arrogant people are often second- and third-rate stars. Many real big stars are very kind to people. Cheng Long even joked with me and called me my sister!"

Zhang Ran said comfortably: "It seems you really understand!"

Yang Mi nodded and said, "I really understand. I will go back tomorrow and continue to experience the life of the public toilet toll collector!"

Zhang Ran started the car: "Then I will send the toilet to Xishi back to school now!" (To be continued.)
