Chapter 232 Zhou Ye plays Zhang Jieyu
In this episode of "Back to Field," Chen Duling ordered small cakes, while Xie Yilin ordered hot pot.

Both dishes are things that don't offer much variety or variety.

Huang Sanshi's "talent" can only be used to develop a spoon-shaped egg beater, and he even injured his own hand in the process...

Liu Xianhua originally wanted to fawn over Chen Duling, but when he saw Meng Ziyi looking at him, he immediately backed down.

Since Chen Xiu came on one episode of the show, Meng Ziyi has become the person the production team protects.

Huang Sanshi had to be very polite to her and didn't dare to force her to eat the dishes he made. As the person with the lowest status in the show, Lanminghua dared not provoke Meng Ziyi even more.

When the recording of the show was over, Meng Ziyi even pulled Chen Duling aside and whispered something to her.

"Dudu, if you're free in a few days, would you like to come with me to visit Brother Xiu on set?"

"Should I go with you to visit him on set?"

Chen Duling couldn't quite follow Meng Ziyi's train of thought. She thought to herself: It's perfectly reasonable for you to visit Chen Xiu on set, but why did you drag me into it? Although I would like to go too, it just feels weird to go with you.

Meng's answer to this was also very simple.

"Yes! Let me tell you, Xiu-ge looks incredibly handsome in ancient costumes, you absolutely have to go see him."

Why wait a few days to go?

“I’m currently traveling between two places. After finishing recording the show here, I’ll immediately head to Dongguan to film a movie. In a few days, the show here will be finished, and when I’m not filming, I can visit Brother Xiu on set.”

"Oh, then I'll contact you later?"

Meng Ziyi nodded with a smile, a hint of longing for Chen Xiu flashing in his eyes.

She felt that she and Chen Duling were quite destined to be together. They were best friends back in the "Love O2O" drama crew, and now that they had met again, their relationship was naturally even better.

Thinking that Chen Duling and Chen Xiu were also friends, Meng Ziyi didn't think too much about it and invited her to visit Chen Xiu on set together.

This invitation rekindled Chen Duling's previously stagnant thoughts.

As she left the Mushroom House and headed to the airport, she didn't forget to take out her phone to send Chen Xiu a notification message.

"Ziyi invited me to visit you on set in a few days. Is there anything I can do for you?"

Unexpectedly, Chen Xiu's reply came very quickly, quite different from the usual situation.

"I'm leaving for Qingdao Oriental Movie Metropolis tomorrow. It just opened not long ago, and the place is very big and complicated, so just don't get lost."

"We're all adults, how could we possibly get lost!"

After sending the message, Chen Duling wondered if Chen Xiu would continue the conversation, but as usual, he disappeared after finishing his business.

Chen Duling wrinkled her nose, her joy lasting only a few seconds before her mood soared again.

As she watched the scenery rushing past the car window, she unconsciously thought of Chen Xiu's words of advice not to get lost.

Although confident in her sense of direction, the cautious Chen Duling still searched for information about Qingdao Oriental Movie Metropolis online.

As a result, the search results were all introductions to the film city.

The only different piece of information was that the director was hiring assistants for the film, but there was no detailed internal map.

After a moment of contemplation, Chen Duling clicked on the job posting, ready to become a freeloader.

"When I'm hiring teachers and come for an interview, could you send me a detailed map of the Oriental Movie Metropolis?"

After sending the message, she noticed that the person in charge of recruiting was director Guo Fan.

Seeing that even the director was personally recruiting assistants, Chen Duling thought: This shouldn't be a big production crew, it's probably just a web series to fool newcomers. I'll ask him for a map, there shouldn't be any problem.

"Hello, what's your major?"

"The assistants we hire have many opportunities to develop, and it's best if they are graduates of film-related majors."

"If not, that's okay too. You'll receive training once you arrive."

I replied to three messages almost without stopping.

Chen Duling saw in the wording of these three messages a strong desire for talent and the extremely simple conditions of the production crew.

Although she had never worked before, she had worked on several film sets and knew that normal assistant positions would not have a training process; only film sets that were short of staff would have such a procedure.

Oh well, I'm just asking him for a map anyway, I don't care what the film crew does!

Chen Duling thought to herself, then sent another message to Guo Fan.

"I've worked on the sets of 'The Left Ear' and 'Love O2O,' but I'm not familiar with the Oriental Movie Metropolis. Could you send me a detailed map?"

"Oh, it's good that you have work experience! You can check the location in our production team's map. If it seems too complicated, I can draw a map for you."

"Let me take a look first, thank you, teacher."

After temporarily ending the chat, Chen Duling opened Guo Fan's job posting page to check the map location.

Then, the first thing that catches the eye is the detailed information about the production team.

Upon seeing the words "The Wandering Earth" production crew, Chen Duling frowned, feeling that Guo Fan's crew was even more unreliable. As she began checking the map of the Oriental Movie Metropolis, three more messages popped up in the chat box on the recruitment page.

"The map is quite complex. This is a map I just hand-drew. I've marked all the detailed road signs. You can check it with Gaode Map. The Oriental Movie Metropolis area is very large, and it's easy to get lost if it's your first time here."

"【picture】"

"Excuse me, could you send me your resume so we can schedule an interview?"

Clicking on the hand-drawn map, Chen Duling found that the road signs from the airport expressway to the Oriental Movie Metropolis were complete, which gave her a better understanding of the interior of the Oriental Movie Metropolis.

Looking at the message that followed, and thinking about how she had pretended to be looking for a job interview to ask for a map, and how she had received such a serious response, she felt a pang of guilt.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Duling originally intended to tell Guo Fan the truth about her purpose.

However, a message arrived before her.

"Student, if it's inconvenient for you to show your resume, we can have an online interview. Let me tell you about the production crew."

"Teacher Guo, I'll be going to Oriental Movie Metropolis in a few days. I'll contact you then!"

Chen Duling thought to herself: If I say this first, he should forget about it in a few days. If he doesn't forget, I can just apologize to him online.

Thinking this way, Chen Duling didn't look at Guo Fan's reply anymore. (Note: Shen Jingjing, one of the screenwriters of "The Wandering Earth," joined the crew through an online interview and also served as assistant director, UI designer, screenwriter, and extra...)
……

The crew of "Qin King's Battle Song" at Zhuozhou Film and Television City.

Chen Xiu, dressed in armor, wearing a golden crown, and with a bright red cloak fluttering in the wind, looked Zhou Ye over and sized him up. Zhou Ye had changed into a yellow high-waisted wide-sleeved ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), with his hair in two buns and his hair ornaments jingling.

After confirming that the look was correct, Chen Xiu asked, "Have you memorized all your lines?"

"Ready? Boss, let's begin."

"No rush, let's rehearse once first and try to minimize retakes."

"Oh, alright."

Zhou Ye said excitedly, showing that she attached great importance to her first role.

In early September, when Chen Xiu went to the Beijing Film Academy to give a speech on outstanding graduates, Zhou Ye's initiative earned him an opportunity.

Chen Xiu made a promise with her that if Zhou Ye could reach 100 million personal fans on Douyin before the end of this year, she would arrange a supporting role for her.

Riding the wave of Douyin's explosive growth in users, Zhou Ye achieved this on December 1st, and Chen Xiu arranged a role for her in "Qin Wang Po Zhen Qu" as agreed.

In addition, Chen Xiu formally extended a signing invitation to Zhou Ye, with the signing gift being the second female lead in "Better Days".

Upon hearing that there was a movie opportunity, Zhou Ye joined Datang Pictures without hesitation, and his address to Chen Xiu changed from "senior" to "boss".

When rehearsing the scene, Chen Xiu didn't pick a place; she simply raised her hand to indicate that they could begin.

Seeing this, Zhou Ye swallowed hard, recalling the lines he had memorized for over half a month and knew by heart.

"Congratulations to the Prince of Qin for defeating the puppet Zheng regime and capturing Luoyang, for making an unparalleled contribution to our Great Tang Dynasty. His Majesty has ordered us to come here to select former Sui palace women and treasures to be brought back to Chang'an. We humbly request the Prince of Qin's assistance."

"All the valuable goods have been registered and recorded, and the officials should reward them to those who are virtuous and capable!"

Chen Xiuping said calmly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

With the world still unsettled, Li Yuan began to indiscriminately bestow favors and rewards upon his favorites, which truly chilled the hearts of meritorious generals and soldiers.

Li Shimin's reply in history seems to be expressing an attitude to the meritorious officials: I am different from my father!
Zhou Ye's body trembled, and he raised his hands uneasily, staring at Chen Xiu with surprise, as if he found it unbelievable that Chen Xiu had disobeyed Li Yuan's edict.

The performance in this scene was not particularly difficult. Zhou Ye, who played Zhang Jieyu, only needed to show surprise and the arrogant nature of a stepmother.

However, her surprise was too exaggerated, her arrogance was not well portrayed, and she couldn't deliver her subsequent lines, so the rehearsal ended in failure.

"I'm sorry, boss, I didn't perform well!"

Zhou Ye bowed repeatedly to Chen Xiu, feeling extremely embarrassed by his momentary lapse in concentration and forgetting his lines.

Chen Xiu didn't put too much pressure on this new employee.

"Forgetting your lines is a common problem for newcomers. You'll get used to it after a few tries. Your surprised reaction just now was quite good."

"Yes... Boss, you acted better."

Zhou Ye looked at Chen Xiu with a embarrassed expression, and whenever their eyes met, she would subconsciously look away.

She initially thought Chen Xiu was only acting out of hobby and that her acting skills probably weren't very good. But during the rehearsal just now, when Chen Xiu's slightly narrowed eyes swept over her, she was completely taken aback...

Fortunately, it wasn't a formal shoot; otherwise, she would have had to do several takes, and she probably still wouldn't have been able to get used to it.

Seeing Zhou Ye's hesitation, Chen Xiu said, "Let's do it again."

"Okay, congratulations to the King of Qin for defeating the false Zheng and capturing Luoyang, creating a great victory for our Tang Dynasty... Sorry, boss, I misspoke!"

Take your time.

"Congratulations to the King of Qin on defeating the false Zheng..."
