In the scene where Little Swallow and Zhiwei go to the execution ground, with the addition of professional actors, at such a time, Chao Guoli and a few others responsible for appearing in front of the camera were giving directions, reminding them to pay attention to their coordination with the camera. These college students were indeed impressive.
At this moment, Ye Ming suddenly heard a familiar voice, a Shandong accent, which sounded somewhat boastful: "Brother, where are you from? Did you sneak in like me? How much did you pay? I paid fifty yuan."
Ye Ming turned around and saw a face that looked somewhat anxious, Huang Bo.
What could one do with fifty yuan to sneak in?
However, what made Ye Ming feel even more awkward was that the person he was talking to was someone he had never expected.
Xu Zheng, the first meeting of two future superstars, actually happened in such a chaotic situation.
At this moment, Xu Zheng said somewhat helplessly, "I didn't pay to sneak in; I was conscripted. I was originally planning to visit a friend at Yanjing University, but they said they needed extras for the play, so they dragged me here."
Huang Bo, with a smile, pointed at him and said, "Look at you, acting all smug. It must be a girl, right? If it were a guy, you probably wouldn't have come. I'm planning to apply to the Film Academy to improve myself and build connections. In this industry, without skills, everything is just talk, and without connections, even with skills, it's all for nothing. If I perform well, do you think Director Sun will notice me and let me be an assistant actor?"
Xu Zheng looked at the busy crew and said thoughtfully, "Maybe, as an assistant actor."
Huang Bo didn't seem to notice anything amiss in Xu Zheng's words and immediately said, "Then let's do our best. If I become an assistant actor, I won't treat you badly. It would be best if we could go together."
Xu Zheng, a graduate of the Shanghai Theatre Academy, naturally wouldn't be interested in being an assistant actor.
However, Xu Zheng had a good quality: he went with the flow. Now, he wasn't famous, and being a newcomer wasn't a big deal. This time, he came purely to have fun with his classmates.
Ye Ming walked over as if nothing had happened, looked at Huang Bo and Xu Zheng, and said, "Could you two help me with something? I need to move something."
Huang Bo looked at Ye Ming and immediately recognized him: "You're Ye Ming, the singer who sang 'I Believe' in the singing competition. Why are you here acting? What role are you playing in this crew?"
Ye Ming smiled and said, "I'm Ye Ming, and acting is my profession. I play Er Kang here, but I can't say more about it."
Huang Bo patted himself and said, "I'm Huang Bo. From your accent, you're from Shandong, right? I'm from Shandong too, Qingdao. If there's any opportunity, don't forget about your fellow townsman."
Xu Zheng had heard of Ye Ming. He hadn't paid much attention to the competition, but his classmate was a huge fan of "Rice Loves Mice," so he knew about Ye Ming.
In the industry, knowing more people is always beneficial, especially someone with a clear upward trend like Ye Ming.
Xu Zheng introduced himself, "Xu Zheng, from the Shanghai Theatre Academy. I didn't expect to meet a celebrity in Beijing this time. This trip is really worth it."
Ye Ming laughed and said, "What celebrity? I'm just a newcomer. We all need to work hard. In this industry, no one can predict who will suddenly become famous. I'm still outside the rookie wall."
Huang Bo grumbled, "If you say that, Xu Zheng and I haven't even seen the rookie wall."
Under Ye Ming's intentional or unintentional efforts, Huang Bo and Xu Zheng left their pagers, and they considered themselves acquainted.
Even after the scene was shot, Huang Bo and Xu Zheng didn't understand why Ye Ming had approached them to help move things. With so many people in the crew, did they really need more help?
According to Huang Bo, it was because of his good character.
Xu Zheng rolled his eyes and ignored him. However, when Xu Zheng's classmate heard that Xu Zheng knew Ye Ming, she immediately screamed, "Ye Ming, the Fu Erkang from 'The Story of the Palace,' the one who sang 'Rice Loves Mice,' Xu Zheng, Xu Zheng, go get me an autograph."
The few girls who came with them also had stars in their eyes and threatened Xu Zheng that if he didn't get an autograph, they wouldn't let him pass their test.
Xu Zheng's classmate also looked at him with a "try it" expression.
Huang Bo tried to persuade her, "Don't worry, the crew has rules. You don't understand. It's filming time now. If you go to him randomly, it won't be good for anyone. Both Xu and I have his pager. We can find him after the shoot and invite him to dinner."
Perhaps moved by Huang Bo's words, the female classmate looked at Huang Bo with disbelief and said, "Just because you say so, he's a celebrity. Will he have time to have dinner with us?"
Huang Bo confidently said, "Don't worry, I'm sure I can do it. Ye Ming is also from Shandong, my fellow townsman. With this connection, if I invite him, he won't refuse. He gave us his pager voluntarily."
Xu Zheng said earnestly, "The crew really has rules. Besides, do you think there's any hope if we go to him now?"
Whether moved by Huang Bo's words or convinced by Xu Zheng's, the classmate finally gave up and said, "Alright, invite him to dinner tonight. If you can't, I won't let you off."
After the shoot, Xu Zheng was originally going to invite someone, but Huang Bo stopped him and said, "Forget it, spend more time with your girlfriend. Men should act when it's time. Don't let a cooked duck fly away. I'll go find Ye Ming. If he doesn't have a scene tonight, he should give us some face."
At this moment, Huang Bo wasn't sure, but he didn't want to lose face in front of Xu Zheng.
Just as he was walking towards the makeup van, a staff member stopped him and said, "What are you doing? Extras, go over there to get paid."
Huang Bo said confidently, "I'm not here to get paid; I've already been paid. I'm here to invite Ye Ming to dinner."
The staff member was about to say something, but at that moment, Ye Ming's head appeared from the makeup van, and he said, "Brother Yang, this is my fellow townsman. He's looking for me. Please help me out."
Ye Ming was now a significant figure in the crew, and the staff members wouldn't easily offend him.
Brother Yang smiled at Ye Ming, nodded, glanced at Huang Bo, and went back to his work.
