Chapter 77 A Little Familiar Person
I answered. "Because my schedule can't be arranged?"
"Forget it. You will know it soon."
Cole didn't say anything. Soon we arrived at the set. When we arrived, the crew just prepared the dishes and set out to eat.
Cole brought me to the director. "Max, she is Amy's substitute."
Max was a little fat, but I was somewhat unconfident of myself. Naturally, I felt scared when I saw him and could not help thinking what his expression would be like if I had got NG many times.
"Come on, guys. Let's have dinner together since you have been on the journey for a whole day. We'll be like a family from now on. Remember to be serious when filming and don't be overcautious at ordinary times. We'll get along with each other for a long time.
All the people were nice to me. They offered a bowl and a pair of chopsticks to Cole and me.
It was my first time to dine with dozens of people and I introduced myself to them, whether I'm familiar with them or not.
Cole should belong to the kind of person who enjoys special popularity. He chats at different dinner tables. He seems to have good relations with many people.
After dinner, I helped clean up the table and wash the dishes.
But a woman said with an accent took the bowl from my hand.
"Don't do the dishes for me. The film crew gave me money, so I should be responsible for cooking and washing dishes."
I didn't leave, and instead I stayed in the yard to help her wash the dishes.
"Did you cook so many dishes alone today?"
"No, how can I be here alone? My husband helped me, he has finished harvest, and now he has nothing to do. We didn't expect to make money while sitting at home. The film crew is so generous, they gave us more money than we had earned as a farmer this year."
The woman whispered in my ear with a smile, "every villagers are so envious of our family."
The woman kept sweeping the dishes in succession, as if she was not tired at all. "Wow, this is really a rare opportunity to take a look at the leading roles in this movie. Why haven't I seen you before? "
"I just arrived tonight."
"Are you also an actor?"
"Sort of."
The woman looked at me, "no wonder you looks so fair and beautiful."
"The well water is cold. It will make your hands rough. It's not good to film later." said the woman, trying to take away the bowl in my hand
She smiled and insisted that she don't need my help, but she was willing to let me stay and talk with her.
"By the way, you just came here today. Have you decided where to live?"
I shook my head, "No."
"Well, if you don't mind, you can live with me. Other people are countless. It's difficult for you to live with them."
"I don't think it's a good idea. I'll live with you. What about your husband?"
"He is sensitive about his reputation. He was also ashamed to live at home. He has been living at his third brother's house for the past few days. I'll tell him not to come back, and you can live with me. And Director Max asked us to act as mass actors. so you can teach me how to act." NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
"Is this okay?"
The woman laughed and said, "That's all right. You are from big city. People like you always be so welcome. I am willing to talk to you. You know a lot. You can tell me what a big city like. I haven't been out. "
When the woman and I were talking, a man's voice came from the top of our heads, "Hey, how's the script? Do you want to practice the lines together?"
The woman and I raised our heads. I do know the man standing in front of us. He is Daniel, who shot an advertisement with me two days ago.
I stood up. I didn't notice him when we had lunch. "Why are you here?"
Daniel shook his head and smiled. "Why can't I be here? I am the leading man of the play. If I am not here, who else is?"
"I really don't know. Nice to meet you again. Thank you for speaking for me last time. But it's a pity that I let it go."
"I heard that you are a substitute of Amy, so I have to act as your opponent for the time being. Let's practice the lines together. In case you were kept NG when filming. It's so embarrassing."
"Okay. Wait for me. I'm going to take the script."
Daniel was willing to be together with me to practice the script. I was really very happy as I was the biggest beneficiary of the practice.
"No, you don't need it. I have two here."
Daniel gave me a copy. He pointed to the big tree outside the courtyard and said, "it's quiet there. Let's go there."
"Okay." Then I turned to the woman and said, "Sorry, I have to go first."
The woman waved at me with a smile. "Go ahead. By the way, go to that room when you come back. That one is where we stay tonight."
The woman pointed at a house not far away. I remembered it.
Then I followed Daniel to the big tree outside the courtyard to practice the lines. Daniel was well prepared. It was late and there was no street lights in the village. He had bought two flashlights, one for me and one for him. He said that he could draw on his lines, so it was convenient to figure out.
Daniel was so considerate and he was very approachable. As a result, I get along well with him.
I tried my best to be absorbed in it and tried to make my lines contained my feelings and emotions. Every time I asked Daniel whether it was right, could I do like this.
Even as a popular star, he would also ask me if he had done anything wrong.
Daniel was willing to ask this kind of nobody like me. As far as I'm concerned, he was a modest man.
We both take in our own ideas and thoughts. Sometimes we will discuss intensely. When we get on well, we even forget the time.
Director Max saw the light on our side last night and then came over to see us doing preparation.
Director Max looked at them and nodded with satisfaction. "Young people, it's good that you are willing to work hard. Well, it's too late. Go to bed. Tomorrow you can start it up officially. Don't forget to get up early."
Daniel followed the director into the room, and I went to the woman's room.
The woman had prepared the light and bed for me. I didn't come back yet, so she was doing needle and thread work in the dim light.
"You're back. Go to bed. It's late,"
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting for me."
"Oh, it's okay. I can't fall asleep, either."
"What's your name?"
"I'm Annie, the third girl in our family. My name is Annie Gu. What about you?"
"My name is Jasmine."
"I like your name. The names of the people from big cities are beautiful."
Annie smiled and turned off the lights. I had a good sleep that night.
After going through a lot, I knew that there are a lot of things that you can't get what you want and what you want by hard work, but this job, which I thought just for obtaining the salary, is more difficult than I
expected.
