At three o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Jun and Lin Chuqiu walked out of the VIP building.

As soon as the two of them went out, Lin Chuqiu's cell phone rang in her pocket.

"I hold my original dream tightly in my hand, and the place I want to go to the most, how can I return halfway..."

The melody of the ringtone in my hand is very familiar, it is "The First Dream" by Fan Fan.

During the meal, Wu Jun and Lin Chuqiu chatted for more than two hours.

Today's conversation was the longest exchange between the two and the most candid one.

Wu Jun knew that Lin Chuqiu had always cherished the dream of becoming an actress. Her biggest dream was to let her parents and all the young and old men in the village see herself on TV.

In the past many years, Lin Chuqiu made guest appearances in various movies and TV series, and many scenes flashed by.

Even if there is footage, it may not be preserved during post-editing.

All the young and old men in the village know that they are actors, but their image has not left an imprint in any film or television drama. This is also a pity!

"Mr. Wu, let me take a call..." Lin Chuqiu took out her mobile phone and saw the number on the caller ID, and glanced at Wu Jun nervously.

"You pick it up slowly, I'll go back first and take a nap in the afternoon." Wu Jun and Lin Chuqiu waved their hands, turned and walked towards the taxi waiting area outside the hotel.

After watching Wu Jun walk some distance away, Lin Chuqiu looked at the caller ID on the phone screen, quickly moved a few steps to the side to make way for the door, and answered the call.

"Hello, Director Chen, hello, I'm Lin Chuqiu."

"Yes, yes, it's me. I play the role of the rich man Wang's wife in the play."

"Ah? This..."

"No, no, of course Director Chen's face must be given. I'll take a taxi there right away."

After ending the call with Director Chen, Lin Chuqiu looked down at the phone in her hand, with a somewhat tangled look on her face.

She has been in Hengdian for many years and is not a newbie here. From the content of the phone call just now, she can feel that this invitation is unusual.

However, this current role is the best role Lin Chuqiu has received so far.

Not only does he have lines and scenes, but he is also a positive character.

Although he only lived for two episodes and died heroically, he was still a character.

As for this character's role in the play, Lin Chuqiu still wants to retain as much as possible.

But if Director Chen takes the opportunity to make excessive demands on himself, Lin Chuqiu will never compromise with him.

Compared with the role Mr. Wu is going to fight for himself, his current role is nothing.

On one side is the crew of the nationally famous Director Xu, and on the other side is a small director that he has never even heard of.

These two groups and the characters in the two dramas are completely incomparable!

"It's broad daylight, so he doesn't dare to go too far. I hope I'm overthinking it..." Lin Chuqiu hesitated for more than two minutes before taking a taxi and heading towards the apartment she had made an appointment with Director Chen.

The place where Lin Chuqiu and Director Chen made an appointment was called "Longhe Apartment". Many film crews in Hengdian have offices in this apartment.

In the past, when Lin Chuqiu was "running a team", she also visited Longhe Apartment and was no stranger to the place.

It only takes ten minutes to get from the VIP Building to Longhe Apartment.

After Lin Chuqiu got off the car to check out, she entered the apartment according to the address Director Chen left for her and found the room number.

The person who opened the door to Lin Chuqiu was a middle-aged man with brown myopia glasses and some bald hair.

This middle-aged man is Chen Yongde, the chief director of Lin Chuqiu's crew.

Chen Yongde turned sideways and invited: "Xiao Lin, come in quickly. Have you had lunch?"

"Thank you, Director Chen, for your concern. When I received your call, I had just finished eating with my friends." Lin Chuqiu replied and followed into the room.

After entering the door, Lin Chuqiu first took a look at the layout of the room.

In the layout of two bedrooms and one living room, many things in the room cannot be placed and it looks a bit messy.

No matter how much money is spent, no matter where the preparation is, there must be two things in the casting room.

There is also a thick pile of hundreds or thousands of actors' information piled on the desk.

It is also a photo wall with photos of 3-6 actors to be selected under different roles.

These two things are found in Chen Yongde's room, and they look quite formal.

Lin Chuqiu spent half a day filming with the crew today. Judging from her experience, this crew is not like a wild crew filming a half-way escape.

"The space is limited, sit wherever you like." Chen Yongde asked Lin Chuqiu to sit on the big sofa by the wall.

"Thank you, Director Chen." After Lin Chuqiu thanked him, he sat down on the other end of the sofa with some restraint, keeping the distance between him and Chen Yongde as wide as possible, "Director Chen, why did you ask me to come over?"

Chen Yongde's eyes wandered over Lin Chuqiu, and he smiled and said: "Xiao Lin, although you have not been in the team for a long time, you should also know that the drama you are filming is coming to an end, and it will be completed in another week at most.

.”

Lin Chuqiu didn't know why Chen Yongde said this, so he echoed: "Well, I heard Brother Gao say this. I wish Director Chen a smooth completion."

"That's not the point." Chen Yongde said, lifting his butt and moving a little closer to Lin Chuqiu.

After Lin Chuqiu discovered Chen Yongde's behavior, she was already prepared to give him a slap in the face at any time.

"Xiao Lin, I admire your acting skills very much, and your overall condition is also very good. The only thing missing from you is an opportunity." Chen Yongde guided him step by step, "After the filming of this drama is completed, I have another Anti-Japanese War drama to start filming.

The funds for the play have basically been secured, and I have two characters in hand, it just depends on whether you can grasp one of them."

After Chen Yongde prompted this point, he looked at Lin Chuqiu and waited for her response.

Lin Chuqiu was not a newbie, and she was very clear about Chen Yongde's reminder.

How can he grasp the role he has in hand? All he has to do is go to bed and sleep.

The unspoken rules of the entertainment industry not only happen to many celebrities, but it is also difficult for some grassroots actors to break out of these rules.

Take the extras in Hengdian Film and Television City as an example. Most of them are men or some older women. There are very few women with good looks and good figures who work as extras.

Those with a good figure and good looks have already been divided among the directors of various production crews.

Trading your body for a role is an unspoken rule in this industry.

"Director Chen, I'm sorry, I don't know what you are talking about." Lin Chuqiu refused politely and tactfully, and stood up from the sofa, preparing to leave.

"Lin Chuqiu, you are also an old man from Hengdian. You should also know that there are many actors with professional backgrounds in Hengdian who are still working at the lowest level."

Chen Yongde lit a cigarette, took a long puff, looked up at Lin Chuqiu and said, "If you miss this time, you may never have such a good opportunity in your life. Don't be ignorant."

"I'm sorry, I'm just so ignorant." Lin Chuqiu smiled, turned around and walked towards the door.

After Chen Yongde heard Lin Chuqiu's tough answer, the expression on his face was a bit confused.
