Rebirth after the college entrance examination

Chapter 128 A Little Pomelo
This time, Tang Wan didn't pester him on the phone.

Xia An did not try to comfort her.

Tang Wan knew that Xia An could guess her current mood.

People are divided into good and bad, and relatives are naturally divided into close and distant.

No matter how bad Tang Tianxing's family is, no matter how inhuman they are, they will always be related to Tang Wan by blood.

This does not transfer with individual consciousness.

They are alive and are bad relatives.

Even if you don't want to remember it, or curse when you remember it, at least you are still a living person.

They are all dead, no relatives.

A world without relatives will fade and become cold. Xia An guessed that Tang Wan was in deep loneliness.

And it has nothing to do with whether he is there or not.

Now that Tang Guan is dead, Xia An can hug Tang Wan to divert her attention and continue to work together to steal Tang Tianxing's girl.

Now Tang Mian and Tang Tianxing are both gone.

There was no object to divert attention.

Before hanging up, Tang Wan said, "The book says that everyone is born alone and destined to be a loner. Do you agree?"

Xia An said, "The theory is correct, but if you have something to rely on, loneliness is just a state of mind."

Tang Wan told him: "I entrust my hope to you, you must take good care of it."

Next, a funeral, and another funeral.

Tang Wan really didn't want to attend funerals anymore.

As a result, Tang Tianxing's funeral was particularly hasty.

No need to keep the body, just cremate it directly.

Tang Wan visited the crematorium's own farewell hall three times in two months.

The staff were all numb and had said all the words of comfort they could.

Fortunately, there was no farewell ceremony and no guests.

Su Yi and Lin Jiajia, Zhang Chunmin, Zhang Tiancheng and Liu Youwei, these five are accompanying Tang Wan.

The urn was stored and that was it.

It’s not noon yet.

Tang Wan went home to catch up on her sleep without saying a word.
-
Three hours ago in the morning, little Youzi woke up.

I opened my eyes and saw Xia An sitting on the sofa in a daze in her bathrobe.

Little Youzi didn't call him either. With a sweet smile on her face, she stared at his back, imitating his absent-mindedness.

She didn't know what Xia An was thinking.

A tiny freshman earns so much money.

His ideas must be very strange.

Zuo You is not a girl who likes to guess about her boyfriend.

She only knows that only by working hard to make herself better can her lover love her more.

It's very strange. Every time he tormented me, although I felt energetic, my body was still sore.

Maybe Xia An was too gentle last night, and I felt refreshed all over when I woke up.

Pressing the back of his hand, Zuo You saw the blue sky of Hengdian outside the window and the soft clouds.

I also saw an incredibly beautiful future with Xia An.

"Come and hug me, I have to go to the crew soon."

Xia An came to her senses and realized that she was awake.

Walk over and hug the quilt together.

The wrapped little pomelo looks like a silkworm.

She struggled to free one hand and stroked his eyebrows.

She still caught the slight melancholy here.

"You are already good enough, don't exhaust yourself, okay?" she said softly.

Xia An nodded fiercely in her arms through the quilt, like a stinky pig gnawing on cabbage.

Then he suddenly jumped up, stood on the bed and twisted his limbs in an uncoordinated manner.

“Get up early in the morning, embrace the sun, and be filled with positive energy!”

Zuo You opened her mouth in surprise, looking at the scene in disbelief.

His nightgown was open, revealing him completely naked.

It’s swaying...much more dazzling than the morning light outside the window.

"Puchi~ You're so ugly."

"Then you come and teach me."

Xia An bent down and pulled her out of the quilt.

With a cry of "Ah", Zuo You tried hard to cover up his key points.

Unable to persuade him, I finally wrapped him in pajamas and taught him how to twist a few times.

Professional after all.

After some simple instructions, Xia An's posture became somewhat human-like.

……

Xia An's original plan was to continue canvassing the streets, looking for business ideas.

But he felt a little depressed because of the resonance of Tang Wan's voice from thousands of miles away.

He decided to pretend to be Xiaoyouzi's follower today and stroll around the crew.

Wearing baseball caps and holding pink thermoses, they flocked to the film and television city along with the extras rushing to catch their early shifts on the street.

The town is not big and there are many cars.

There were no shared bicycles at that time, so those who lived far away had to take the bus.

A bus passed by behind them, and Xia An and Zuo You looked at it in surprise.

Inside, Qin Dynasty soldiers and Japanese devils stood side by side.

The princess, her maid, and the beautiful woman in cheongsam sat in front and behind.

The Qing Dynasty zombies lined up to buy Roujiamo, and every time they took a bite they had to lift the yellow talisman on their forehead.

Xia An and Zuo You both knew that many people here slept with makeup on last night.

"Extras are also dream chasers." Xia An sighed.

Zuo You subconsciously tried to grab Xia An's arm several times, but Xia An dodged her every time.

He said, "Be careful, I'm your assistant. You can't flirt with me just because you're a star. I have principles."

When he subconsciously wanted to hold the other person's hand, he was spat on in return.

"Lard has blinded your heart!"

Zuo You's scenes today started filming at 11 o'clock, and she put on makeup first when she arrived on the set.

Xia An and Xuexue stood behind him like the left and right bodyguards.

Makeup artists are not stupid either.

This newcomer, Miss Zuo, joined the team through her dual roles as producer and director.

I drove an RV and got one more assistant every day.

You can imagine his family background.

There are two types of makeup artists. One type is the one brought by the team, who receives a salary and whose supplies are also reimbursed for any loss.

The other type is temporary, and the payment is made on a project-by-project basis, but the makeup tools are all your own.

The latter type of makeup artists are not stupid either, and usually carry two sets of things with them.

When you meet a big shot, be picky and use the best.

Small Karami, use the poor quality ones.

It’s the same as the two sets of menus in the restaurant.

In fact, it’s the same in any industry, you have to treat people differently depending on their needs.

Although the effect of the makeup is almost the same in the camera.

But inferior quality ones will hurt your skin.

This makeup artist is the latter type.

She gave Zuoyou the best one.

Xia An noticed this and was very satisfied.

This is the effect he wants.

More than a decade later, there were no less than hundreds of thousands of extras coming and going in the small town of Hengdian.

Some come from rural areas to pursue their dreams of entering the entertainment industry, while others graduate from college and seek to become famous overnight.

Those who can eventually become emperors and queens like Zhao Liying and Wang Baoqiang from the bottom must have suffered the same hardships, or even more than others.

But Xia An doesn't like the word "hardship".

He didn't want Xiao Youzi to suffer unnecessary hardship.

Just take a look around, understand the sufferings of the people, and figure out the rules of the circle. That's enough. Then, happily take your prize and live your life happily.

The makeup mirror has its own soft light. Zuo You in the mirror gradually puts on light makeup from her bare face, and she looks bubbly beautiful.

The makeup artist praised her good skin and said, "I have seen many celebrities who take care of themselves every day but they are not as good as you."

Xuexue even used her camera to take pictures of Xiaoyouzi.

Xia An laughed out loud as he watched.

That’s it. If your girlfriend looks like a star and you see other people’s envious eyes when you take her out, you will feel extremely satisfied.

Because only you have seen her truest side, which others will never understand.

Wait till one day, little pomelo becomes the goddess of otakus...

Most definitely.

You know, Li Yitong, who looked like Zuo You in her original life, has been dominating the Hupu goddess list for many years.

Always believe in the aesthetic taste of otaku!

They will only be able to watch the flowers bloom through the screen, while Xia An will be able to pick the flowers with her own hands. Just thinking about it makes me feel so happy.

Zuo You looked in the mirror and saw Xia An behind her. She didn't know what she was thinking about, but her smile was so obscene.

He couldn't help but frown and curl his nose.

The makeup artist noticed this little trick.

I looked back and saw Xia An. He looked weird and things didn't seem simple.

After the makeup was done, Xia An came over, holding five hundred yuan in her hand, and said to the makeup artist, "Sister, thank you for your hard work."

The makeup artist was stunned.

My goodness, normally the most I get from celebrities is coffee and drinks, and I only get a few small red envelopes during festivals. What’s the point of this?
Xuexue and Zuoyou were also puzzled and didn't know what he was going to do.

Xia An smiled and said, "I think... can we do this..."

He pointed at the left corner of Zuoyou's eye.

"Her three moles here are very distinctive. If it doesn't affect the overall look, do you think it's possible to show them?"

Zuo You understood and smiled.

The makeup artist rolled her eyes and smiled.

Recognition!
There is no shortage of beauties in the entertainment industry, but in recent years the trend of plastic surgery has become increasingly popular.

The finished products are almost the same.

It looks good, but the audience can't remember the faces.

This is often the most embarrassing thing for artists who rely on their looks.

You are beautiful and recognizable. Even if your acting skills are a little worse, you can basically make a name for yourself with a small hit drama.

The makeup artist generously pocketed five hundred yuan.

"I also think those three moles are very beautiful and distinctive, so I'll make some simple adjustments.

"Ms. Zuo, I'll be with the crew throughout this play. You can keep an eye on me later. If you have a morning scene, come early and I'll help you with your makeup."

Xia An is well aware of the importance of spending little money to achieve big things.

……

The truth is revealed in front of the camera.

Today is Zuo You’s first scene with a star.

Hu Ge.

After the board was struck, Zuo You walked out of the door leisurely, holding a tea tray, her skirt swaying.

She is delicate, yet there is a unique strength between her brows. Her identity as a maid is made outstanding by her natural temperament.

The head maid who serves the old lady.

Tsk, Xia An felt that the director had a very sharp vision.

Although it was to give face to Maggie Cheung, the role arrangement was undoubtedly inappropriate.

The camera on the other side captured Hu Ge riding his horse back from outside the mansion gate.

He walked towards me with a dignified demeanor and a sword in hand.

The maid saw it from a distance, stopped and was stunned.

The camera gave Zuo You a close-up.

His brows were slightly furrowed, then turned into joy and relaxed.

With a snap, the plate fell and the cup broke.

"Master, Master is back!"

She lifted her skirt and was about to turn around and go into the house.

"stop!"

The young master came over quickly, smiled slightly, squatted down, picked up the only unbroken wooden tray, and handed it to the maid with tears in her eyes, who was overjoyed.

"Impatient, just killing a few golden men, how can I not come back, young master?"

The maid bit her lip in grievance, but before she could say anything, the unromantic young master strode into the house.

——cut!
"it is good!"

"Great!"

Croak, croak, croak.

"Ka" was shouted by the director, "good" was shouted by the onlooker Xia An, "great" was shouted by Xuexue, and "quack" was the off-screen sound effect of her and Xia An clapping together.

I really can't help myself.

This is the first time in little Youzi’s life that he passes the first line.

It seemed that no one except Zuo You cared about the two assistants' cheers.

The director and Hu Ge, who had come out again, both praised Zuo You.

Hu Ge said to Zuo You, "You've made great progress. Have you hired a foreign teacher?"

Zuoyouyile.

She couldn't figure out why.

Even though Xia An was watching next to me today, I felt even more nervous before the performance.

But as soon as she was hit by the board, she seemed to have forgotten everything.

It seemed like I had really become the maid in the Yang Mansion. When I reread the lines this morning, they were just right.

What a mysterious feeling.

After making a joke with Hu Ge, Zuo You was called over by the director.

The director pointed at the monitor and replayed the previous shot.

"Look here, the frown, the stretch, and the hint of joy in the surprise are all perfectly on point. I have to say, you are talented."

Xuexue ran to Zuoyou and handed her the kettle. After hearing this, she giggled and applauded Zuoyou.

Zuo You was a little shy and secretly glanced at Xia An next to her.

After seeing his encouraging look, I said to the director: "I will keep it up. Thank you, director."

Zuo You only had this one scene in the morning, and the director was planning to do a dozen more NGs until dinner was served.

Unexpectedly, Zuo You passed it in one go, which directly compressed the progress.

The next scene is a play between the young master and the old lady in the house.

The director asked Zuo You to take a break first and then called for a change of scene.

"and many more!"

Zuo You had only taken two steps when the director called him back.

The director leaned closer to the monitor and took a closer look, then turned back and frowned as he looked at Zuo You's face.

Immediately happy.

"Your three moles..."

Zuo You was a little worried and glanced at Xia An.

Xia An smiled at her and shook his head, indicating: It's okay.

Sure enough, the director said, "It's very distinctive and recognizable. It directly elevates the perception of your character to a higher level. Did you have it originally, or did you come up with it yourself?"

This statement proved that the director was a serious director. When interviewing, he did not focus on the appearance of the actors playing small roles, but on their temperament.

Zuo You said it was natural, but today she wanted to make it more recognizable so she deliberately didn’t cover it up.

The director pinched his chin, thought for a moment, then smiled at Zuo You and said, "You're quite clever. Okay, I'll help you out. You've only had three scenes in the past two days, and there weren't many close-ups. I'll help you fill in some later."

This is a good director, Xia An thought.

Zuoyou was also surprised.

Although there is no need to cooperate with the opposing actor when retaking the close-up, in order to avoid being exposed, 90% of the scene needs to be restored.

There are outdoor scenes, and we have to wait for the weather.

...

It’s time to rest. Zuo You originally wanted to take Xia An and Xue Xue back to the RV.

But Xia An advised her to go into the house and learn from him if she was not hungry.

"The actor who plays the old lady is a master actor. You haven't learned the basics of micro-expressions and lines. It would be beneficial to watch more."

Zuo You smiled happily.

She knew that Xia An was not blindly doting on her.

That would be bad.

Push each other to be better.

Whether it is love or career, you can go further.

If it wasn't in public, she really wanted to kiss him.

Xuexue accompanied Zuoyou into the house.

Xia An returned to the RV alone and made lunch.

The RV has its own refrigerator, which Xia An had filled with food in advance.

I only have an induction cooker, so I can’t make complicated dishes.

The small pot is just right for stewing something.

Zuo You has been trained since childhood, and although he is on a diet, he loves to eat meat.

Add some beef and two pieces of ribs.

Add a little bit of this and a little bit of that and it becomes a Northeastern hotpot.

He then cooked another pot of rice for him and Xuexue to eat.

From a distance, I heard someone from the crew shouting: Let’s have dinner!
Xia An knew that the filming inside was over.

Not long after, Zuo You and Xue Xue, followed by Hu Ge, Peng Yuyan and Liu Shishi, came walking towards them, talking and laughing.

When they got closer, the aroma of the food almost made the unfamiliar people fall over.

Looking at Xia An's smile in the car window, Zuo You pursed her lips with a look of happiness in her heart.

Out of courtesy, she wanted to invite a few big names to dine together, but she was too embarrassed to ask.

Then Chengxiang Xuexue was very familiar and said for her:

"Brother Xia is cooking. It smells so good. Let's eat together?"
