Chapter 240 Geng Shas Opportunity

Beijing, in the set of a film and television base, there were numerous corpses lying in disarray, and the charred smoke was slowly drifting. The surroundings were so quiet that one could almost hear the howling of the north wind, creating an eerie atmosphere.

Cut! Finally, someone shouted nearby.

The corpses on the scene came back to life one after another. Among the figures of a group of old fogies slowly getting up, a short corpse moved much more agilely. He pulled off the black cloth on his body, packed it up, and took it to the production staff.

Big brother, do I have any more scenes here? He had a sweet mouth and a shy smile on his face.

No, next! The stage supervisor was very impatient and took out a 100 yuan from the money in hand, handed it to the short man, and then turned around and shouted, Those working independently, come and collect your money. Those working for others, find your bosses. Dont mix up, or youll be blacklisted in the whole Beijing next time!

The short man carefully hid the money close to his body. He didnt care about the other partys att.i.tude at all. He nodded and bowed with a smile, waving his hand as he left, saying, Well then, Im off. Big brother, if theres any role, feel free to contact me!

As soon as he stepped out of the set, the short person was immediately approached by someone and hooked their arm around him.

Almost subconsciously, the short man shrank his head and reached out to protect the money pouch in his arms, thinking someone was trying to rob him!

Geng Sha, Ive been waiting for you forever! Youve been playing a corpse for so long! The persons mouth was spitting saliva while speaking, but the familiar voice still made Geng Sha relax.

Big Brother Dabin! So, its you! Geng Sha smiled happily, Didnt you and Big Brother Ruan and Director Chens production team finish filming? Why arent you on vacation and still shooting at the film and television base?

How could I be on a vacation? Im working with the production team every day. Do you think theres nothing to do after wrapping up the shoot? Big Brother Dabin snorted, I came to the film and television base just to find you.

A few brothers from the same village couldnt persist like him. In the past month, they couldnt endure this seemingly hopeless life as an extra. Some went home and some went to work in the southern city. Now, Geng Sha was the only one left in Beijing, so he was very happy to meet an acquaintance.

Geng Sha patted the 100 yuan still warming up in his pocket and said happily, Looking for me? Big Brother Dabin, Ill treat you to skewers! We can talk while we eat!

At the usual place, Ziran Village.

Big Brother Dabin was drinking beer and eating skewers, his face covered in oil. Geng Sha was also eating next to him, but he was more busy pouring drinks for Big Brother Dabin.

Burp! Feeling a bit bloated from drinking too much beer, Big Brother Dabin burped and then comfortably said to Geng Sha, Geng Sha, our Director Chen is going to start a new film next month.

Really? Thats great! If Big Brother Dabin has any role, you must tell me. I can play any role! Geng Sha said excitedly.

Can you play the lead role? Big Brother Dabin glanced at this foolish-looking guy.

Ah? The lead role? No, no, I cant play the lead role. Geng Sha quickly waved his hand, as if he was really being asked to play the lead role, his face turning pale with fright.

Hmph, I knew you didnt have the guts! Big Brother Dabin raised his chin, but then smiled strangely and said, However, the reason I came to find you this time is to let you compete for the lead role! And its the male lead!

Huh? Geng Sha was dumbfounded.

Dont be smug, its not your turn yet! Do you really think youll be the lead? Im even better than you! Big Brother Dabin laughed proudly.

Big brother Dabin, what are you talking about? Geng Sha was completely confused.

Big brother Dabin continued leisurely and said, Its like this, the lead role in Director Chens film is lacking a suitable actor. So, they decided to hold an open audition and select someone from the audition videos of actors who are interested. Director Ruan is in charge of this, but none of the candidates in the videos caught Chens attention. He couldnt bear to watch a single one, and as a result, he scolded Director Ruan.

The actors selected by a.s.sistant Ruan were all too bad and didnt match Chen Fengchens image of Xu Sanduo. Chen Fengchen scolded him harshly, saying there wasnt a single decent one among them. a.s.sistant Ruan was told to get lost and bring someone competent to handle the matter.

Therefore, a.s.sistant Ruan had no choice but to search everywhere for Xu Sanduo. Whether they could become the lead actor or not, as long as their appearance and temperament had a bit of flavor, they could even be extras, he would be brought over to put out the fire first.1

Being from a rural area, simple and honest, having served as a soldier, and being small and thin. Taking all these conditions into consideration, they really havent been able to find a few suitable ones.

As the lackey of a.s.sistant Ruan, when Big Brother Dabin saw these conditions, the first person that came to his mind was Geng Sha. However, there was one problem: Geng Sha had never served as a soldier.

Yeah, I havent served as a soldier. Geng Sha was still nervous and afraid.

Director Ruan said, putting out the fire is like saving a life. Dont worry about it too much, just go ahead and do it! Big brother Dabin patted Geng Sha on the shoulder and comforted him, Anyway, Geng Sha, just do me a favor. When theres a good role later, Ill definitely call you!

Big Brother Dabin didnt tell Geng Sha that the film was being shot in Jiangnan. Even if there were extra roles later, Geng Sha probably wouldnt be able to come along. But wasnt this Geng Sha easy to deceive?

Geng Sha was full of grat.i.tude and patted his chest, saying, Alright, Big Brother Dabin, wherever you need me, just let me know.

Now, you need to shoot an audition video. a.s.sistant Ruan has a camera

At the entrance of the Chuntian Kindergarten, Xixi, who had been absent for a whole week, finally returned.

Her cold had already gotten better, but her cough persisted for a few more days. With the arrival of the weekend, the little girl was only brought to the kindergarten by her father this Monday.

Goodbye, Papa! Although Xixi obediently waved her hands to her father, the excitement in her eyes couldnt be concealed. She couldnt wait to go in and find her little friends whom she hadnt seen for so many days.

However, Yang Yi still felt uneasy. He squatted down to take her daughters hand, and added a few more words, The weather is hot now, so you need to drink more water, okay? If the water in your bottle runs out, you need to tell Teacher Mu to help you fill it up

I know, Papa! The little girl leaned on her fathers shoulder, anxiously bouncing up and down. Papa, its time to say goodbye!

Alright, goodbye, go and play! Yang Yi reluctantly let go of her hand and watched as the little girl turned around. She greeted the teacher at the door while hopping and skipping into the cla.s.sroom, her little figure quickly disappearing at the end.

This kid. Yang Yi shook his head helplessly. He didnt know why, but he kind of missed the time when Xixi hadnt started kindergarten yet. The little girl at that time was so clingy, but now that she had grown up a bit and had her own friends, she wasnt so clingy to her father anymore!

Good morning, Teacher Cai! In the kindergartens middle cla.s.s, Xixi squeezed into the cla.s.sroom next to Teacher Cai and rushed toward her little friends.

Xixi! Chen s.h.i.+yun was the first to spot Xixi and exclaimed happily.

Lan Xin and Yang Luoqi were also there. The two of them happily ran over and hugged Xixi, jumping happily.

Xixi, youre here too! Only Nan Zhaoyu hasnt come now! Lan Xin said.

Nan Zhaoyu is still sick! Xixi said, His Papa told my Papa that Nan Zhaoyus cold hasnt gone away yet!

Thats not good. Both Qiqi and I have already recovered from our colds! Lan Xin said.

Yang Luoqi, who was next to her, quickly nodded. She had recovered earlier and had been coming to the kindergarten since last week.

The little girls didnt care at all about who spreads the cold to whom. In any case, they were just happy to see their good friends.

Xixi, you didnt come last week, and I got so thin from hunger! Im so happy to see you! Chen s.h.i.+yun patted Xixis shoulder, attracting the little girls attention and shouting loudly.

Hmph, Chen s.h.i.+yun, Im not happy to see you! Xixi pouted and said, We agreed to go see Qiqi, but you didnt come!

Thats right, Chen s.h.i.+yun, youre not honest! Lan Xin has always been at odds with Chen s.h.i.+yun and took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.

Its okay Yang Luoqi said weakly from the side, feeling sorry to see her good friend arguing.

Well, its not that I didnt want to go. Chen s.h.i.+yun retorted with a pout and lowered her head, feeling aggrieved, Its my mom who didnt let me go, and then I cried for a long time.

When Xixi saw Chen s.h.i.+yuns sad appearance, her heart softened. The little girl took Chen s.h.i.+yuns hand and said, Okay, its your Mamas fault, I wont blame you anymore.
