Hai City, Lujiazui.

Looking out from a distance through the window, the Oriental Pearl Tower, built in 1994, is clearly visible on the other side of the Huangpu River.

Gan Tao, wearing a windbreaker and dusty body, just as soon as he sat down, the waiter stepped forward and asked politely: "Hello sir! What are you drinking?"

He said, "Whatever."

He had only drank coffee once in the capital. He was not familiar with the variety of coffees. After drinking it, he did not realize that the aroma of mouth is as advertised by the coffee shop.

Waiter: "Add sugar?"

He nodded: "Add more."

He followed his mother Jiang Mei and liked more sweet than salty.

After the waiter left, he shouted at the woman opposite: "Sister Jiang."

Jiang Bingrou stirred the coffee on the table and asked him: "What are you busy with after you come back from Beijing?"

He replied honestly: "I've been an extra on the crew recently and just returned from Hengdian."

In the crew of "Like Fog", he played seven or eight small characters with lines with "fakes and tigers". The crew of "Bao Qingtian" is completely an extra. Although Lu Yi is the number one starring actor, he has little say in the crew.

After taking the coffee handed over by the waiter, he imitated Jiang Bingrou and stirred it all the time and waited for her to speak.

Jiang Bingrou asked him: "Did the movie called "Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle" filmed in Beijing have registered for the 51st Berlin Film Festival?"

He said in surprise: "I don't know. Didn't you still do the later stage some time ago?"

He really didn't know about the movie signing up for the Berlin Film Festival. His only connection with the capital was Gao Yuanyuan. The two were busy expressing their feelings during a brief exchange between them every few days, and they really had never paid attention to the movie.

Just like this, he couldn't bear it. The long-distance phone bill was expensive. On the one hand, the weather was getting colder and colder. He stood outside the shop and made a public phone call, and his calves were trembling with coldness.

Recently, he has been thinking about buying a mobile phone.

Jiang Bingrou buried her head and took a sip of coffee and asked, "Have you found a girlfriend?"

He nodded awkwardly.

Jiang Bingrou asked him: "I know how I saw it?"

He shook his head.

"You no longer have the ambition to make progress. Remember to go on the minibus from Wushi to Haishi. After you knew my identity, you rushed to say a lot of good things and even took me to the airport."

Jiang Bingrou paused and said, "Now you don't even know whether you have signed up for the film festival when you are participating in the movie. It can be seen that you have never contacted the crew of "Bicycle"."

"If you can make a person who is originally enterprising, you either reach a certain level and no longer care about the edges or encounter a gentle place."

"And you are just a little actor who is unknown and has no reputation at all, so that is naturally the second type."

After saying that, Jiang Bingrou put down the spoon in her hand and looked at him with the gaze that looked like a falcon: "Today, I want to ask you, are you... very popular? What are you... proud of? What qualifications do you... have to be proud?"

Jiang Bingrou's words were heard quickly and slowly, and Gan Tao's face turned red and his intuition was that there was a huge heat all over his body that could not be dissipated.

In 2000, the day before winter began, he was originally slack, but now he was sitting upright like a pineapple, sweating profusely.

He rubbed his face hard, trying to organize a passage of words to refute.

For example: the company does not pay attention to it.

For example: He is still working diligently as an extra.

For example: It was because I was so busy that I couldn’t contact Wang Shuai, the director of "Bicycle".

But after thinking about it, he finally gave up in dejection.

Jiang Bingrou's words are correct.

He thought he was so lucky that he might have been so lucky that he would have been able to wait for Lou Ye's "Suzhou River" by squatting in the corner, and then Lou Ye introduced him to Wang Shuai.

Zhou Xun introduced him to the crew of "Like Fog", while Lu Yi introduced him to the crew of "Bao Qingtian".

He drank beer and talked about Dashan with Zhou Xun, Chen Kun, Lu Yi and Sun Honglei, who are now popular and in the future.

Gao Yuanyuan, the goddess in the hearts of many wolf friends in the future, will be his girlfriend.

The first contracted artist of Zhouyi Company.

Everything made him lose, made him forget himself, made him lose the enterprising spirit when he first entered the circle, and made him lose the fighting spirit of running to Hengtong Star School without hesitation to learn the basic skills of actors.

He pursed his lips, raised his head and looked at the middle-aged woman opposite who woke him up in time, and said in disappointment: "I'm sorry, Sister Jiang, I'm a little lost."

Jiang Bingrou picked up the coffee and took a sip: "Zhou Yi now has seven artists. In terms of male artists, Yang Junyi won the martial arts champion in a province. Zhang Jin once served as a martial arts coach. The new Yubo is known as the "Zhongnanhai Bodyguard."

"You know, what I have always loved is martial arts kung fu dramas. Compared with them, what is your strength?"

"You know, I was willing to sign you at the beginning, because you were Zhou Zheng; second, you were fired by the crew, and I had part of my responsibility; third, because I can see that you were unwilling to accept it at the beginning."

"But now, you are not as good as Yu Bo, Yang Junyi and Zhang Jin, you are not as good as Yingqi, Yu Bo is not inferior to you."

"What else do you have? What are you supposed to do? Or the sharp desire that you used to have, but now you have lost?"

Every question from Jiang Bingrou hit his heart like a heavy hammer.

He suddenly realized that he had been hiding in the dark and secretly rejoicing, and had already been stripped of all his shortcomings and ugliness in front of everyone.

With so many flaws and weaknesses, he not only did not work hard but was secretly content. The ending waiting for him would probably be the same as everyone else.

In the cold weather, a layer of fine hair and sweat appeared on his forehead. His dry throat made him no longer have the heart to taste the sweetness of coffee, and he drank the coffee on the table in one go.

It felt like the knock was almost done, and Jiang Bingrou sipped the coffee elegantly: "In the entertainment industry, if you don't advance, you will retreat. I hope you can remember what I said today."

He buried his head deep: "Thank you Sister Jiang!"

"This is the script, take it back and have a good look. Since the episode only has 26 episodes, the preparation will be very fast. You are ready to join the group in advance. The company has your size, so you don't need to try out the assembly. I don't like anything but three things, and it's enough to make a mistake once."

Jiang Bingrou glanced at him, finished speaking with a slightest meaning, took out the script from her bag and handed it to him, checked out and left.

He passed through the Huangpu River dejectedly. He did not go to Ganjun's barbecue restaurant in Baba. After buying a package of cigarettes in a small shop not far from the rental house, he went straight back to the rental house.

Lying on his back on the bed, he stared at the spider web on the roof, his left hand exposed outside the bed, holding a long-out cigarette butt.

Jiang Bingrou's words in the coffee shop were too much of a blow to him. Looking back at 2000, he had not revealed his complacentness in front of him, making him feel like a clown.

He got up and took the schoolbag at the corner of the bed. He took out the notebook and ballpoint pen inside, and began to write the daily plan stroke by stroke.

On November 7, 2001, the beginning of winter began. Without joining the crew, I got up at 6 o'clock every morning, practiced lines for an hour, ran for an hour, and after breakfast for half an hour, I started reading.

Lin Lin’s various personal plans include: practicing lines, fitness, watching movies, reading classics, and even calling Lou Ye, Wang Shuai, Jiang Bingrou and others to confirm the specific time.

The next day, the sky was still dark.

The sound of "Ah, Ah" sounded in the small courtyard in front of the rental house. The landlord ran out in only his big shorts and thought that a murder occurred at home.

After three days of continuous development, the people next door finally couldn't bear it and came to the door. The landlord also spoke, "If you want to live, stay, don't live, get out of here, don't care about your more than 100 yuan."

He had no choice but to stay away from the residential houses and stand on the road and scream like this.

Open the bound script and the three words "Woman's Soup" are brought to your eyes.

If it were usual, he would have complained about the title of the drama without asking any questions, and then turned the page forward.

But now, he knows that even if the title of the drama is bad and the plot is shocking, he is not qualified to complain, and he should only work hard to create his own characters.

During the Republic of China, the Lin family and the official family were two businesses operating women's soup in the same market.

Women's soup was placed in 2000. It was called a bathroom in the south and a bathhouse in the north.

The Lin family's Tianlaichi business has always been overwhelming the wealthy pool of the official family, causing the head of the official family to hold a grudge and invites a killer (Tangtou) to use the head of the Lin family to guide him to gambling when he was drunk, not only won the Lin family's Tianlaichi, but even burned the Lin family's old house in a fire.

In short, the 26-episode TV series "Woman's Soup" is a period drama that encompasses love, family affection and action, with a time span of nearly thirty or forty years.

In it, he plays the role of Lin Jusheng, the eldest son of the Lin family who is powerless and does nothing all day long. The authentic male lead and company artist Yang Junyi plays Ade, the loyal servant of the Lin family, and is a martial artist.

The person who plays his father is Mr. Tang Qiang, who plays the role of Zhuge Liang in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". He has less than an episode of the scene, and only two lines with him in the same shot, which makes him a little regretful.

The actress who has many scenes against him is Zhu Yan, and he has never heard of it.

At the end of November, Jiang Bingrou called and asked him to join the group in advance.

After he packed up some things, he boarded the train to Foshan in early December.

The filming location of "Women's Soup" was chosen as Nanhai Film and Television City in Foshan, which is close to Hainan and only takes a few hours to drive.

It took nearly 20 hours to arrive in Foshan, and then took a bus to Shishan Town, where the film and television city belongs.

As soon as he arrived at the crew hotel, Jiang Bingrou threw him a few sets of costumes, including white long gowns, straight suits, and gray cloth jackets. He asked him to try it on and keep it himself.

The photographer waved his hand to Gan Tao, who was standing in the backlight: "Come to the left."

He guessed that it was a live set shot of makeup and whether the costumes were in line with his personal temperament.

Although Jiang Bingrou gave him the script early when she was in Haishi, she told him not to go to Hainan to take makeup photos, and she should have determined that he played the leading role.
