Chapter 921 Survival Game 109
Tao Ran, who stayed by her mother-in-law's bedside in the hospital, often received compliments from strangers like "She's so beautiful."
And this is also the adjective that she has been praised the most since she was a child.
That day, another aunt praised her, "The little girl is so beautiful, she should become a movie star in the future."
This sentence happened to hit Tao Ran's mind, who was thinking about what to do in the future.
Be a star?
She didn't care.
But as we all know, being a star can make a lot of money.
The stars on TV and in illustrated magazines are all dazzling, and they look very rich! Then she wouldn't have to worry about money anymore.
She suddenly became enlightened.
Why didn't you think of that before?
Perhaps being a child actor is the best way to make money in a formal way? It's great to be an actor. If you can appear on the screen, Granny Hua will feel honored, and people around you will no longer look down on them.
Tao Ran entered the bathroom and looked at himself in the mirror. It was okay!
Last time, in the Xiao Aijia community, she didn't have stage fright and made everyone trust her. Is this considered a talent? That time she just practiced by herself the night before.
She successfully deceived several grandparents into believing that Xiao Ai had pinched her.
Or could she try?
Tao Ran looked in the mirror, laughing and crying. She thought it was okay.
The question is, how can she become an actress?
Two months later, after much attention, she finally found an opportunity.
She saw on TV that a movie directed by Wang Da had started shooting, and the filming location was in the next city.
Taking advantage of the weekend, she got up early, bought a bus ticket with her private money and went there.
At that time, no real name was required to buy a ticket, and there was no age requirement for traveling. She got on the bus smoothly.
It was the first time for her to go out alone, so she was naturally scared. But she went there with a goal in mind. Thinking about her mother-in-law's body, she worked so hard. What right did she have to not work hard?
She was brave and knew that there were bad people in society, so she got on the bus and sat next to the conductor aunt.
After more than an hour's drive to the next city, she bought the latest return ticket. Yeah, at seven o'clock in the evening. She has already told her mother-in-law that she will go to the teacher to make up lessons today, so she will come back late.
During this time, she often went to make up classes, so her mother-in-law had no doubts at all.
In order to seize the time, she took a taxi to the shooting base.
In the early years, the fandom culture was not that exaggerated, and there were no such things as illegitimate meals. General TV and movie shootings did not cause much sensation, so the security level of the crew was not as high as it is now.
The filming location was a remote film and television city. Tao Ran bought a special ticket with his student ID and went in.
But when she entered, she realized that the film and television city was not small. She walked for half an hour and couldn't find the film crew.
She was always brave, so she called the cleaner and said: "Auntie, my dad is here for filming. I just called him to turn off the phone. My grandma asked me to deliver medicine. Do you know where the crew is?"
Wherever the cleaning lady would be on guard against a child, she immediately pointed it out to her. "Go from here and go straight along the path in front. After passing a row of old social houses, there is a circle of old houses. You can see it when you walk over."
Tao Ran thanked him and ran over there immediately.
This was her first time approaching the industry and seeing a TV shooting scene.
There is a rope around the perimeter to prevent people from entering.
But how could a mere string of consciousness stop her?
She got inside without anyone noticing.
But she was soon discovered.
"Such a cute kid, what are you doing here?" A man came over.
Tao Ran was panicking, but she didn't dare to show it on her face because she was afraid of being kicked out.
So she deliberately didn't look at that person, for fear of being found guilty.
She simply looked around: "Wait for my dad."
"Oh. Is your dad a staff member here?"
"Yes!" Looking around, there are more than a hundred staff members in this area. Including extras and regular actors, the total number of people must be more than two hundred. People were coming and going, it was so busy, who knew who?
"What's wrong?" Tao Ran felt confident, seeing that this guy with a playful smile couldn't possibly be a big boss, so he pointed at her with his arrogant little look.
"No, it's nothing." The man chuckled, "Who is your father? I can help you find him."
"Who are you……"
"I'm an extra."
Tao Ran's heart moved.
"I want to wait for my dad to finish work, so I won't look for him yet." Acting as an extra is what she also wants to do. How about trying this uncle first?
Man: "Then who is your father?"
Tao Ran told herself to calm down again, "Dad told me not to tell strangers your identity information casually." This is what her mother-in-law often warned her. She has no parents, is pretty good-looking, and has been talked to a lot since she was a child, and she says this often.
The man smiled and stopped asking for trouble: "Oh, then I'll find a place to sit first."
"I'll go too." Tao Ran followed directly.
"what are you going to do?"
"I'll find a place to do my homework." Tao Ran blurted out.
Then she discovered that the more confident she was, the less likely anyone would doubt her.
The uncle not only nodded, but also let her follow him to a hall where the extras were resting, and cleared a corner table for her.
"It's noisy here, so stay here in the corner. After the assistant director comes to select the actors, there won't be so many people." As he said that, the man also brought her a bottle of pure water from the door. "Go get it after you finish your drink. The toilet is next door."
"Uncle, is the assistant director responsible for selecting actors?"
"That's right! The person in charge of casting for our crew is Director Ge. Do you know him?"
"have no idea."
"Stinky girl! I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." The man patted Tao Ran on the head and left. Tao Ran took a notebook and pen from his schoolbag and pretended to write a composition, but in fact he was listening to the chat of the extras.
Then she knew it was a drama about the Republic of China.
There was no protagonist scene today, we were filming scenes with male and female partners. The role is not heavy, but it is very important for the advancement of the plot. It requires two large scenes, so there are quite a lot of extras today.
After a while, a middle-aged man rushed in: "The next set of fighting scenes requires twenty people. The others are waiting for use."
A group of people stood up, and Director Ge quickly ordered twenty of them to leave.
Tao Ran quickly collected his schoolbag, followed the assistant director and the group in front of him from a distance, and then arrived at the venue for the next scene. Since we are still preparing, there are not many people here.
Tao Ran waited for a while while Director Ge made arrangements for the twenty people, gave a brief introduction to the play, smoked another cigarette and prepared to leave.
Tao Ran followed him, then ran a few steps to stop him.
"Uncle, do the crew need any young actors?" She smiled cutely.
Director Ge was stunned for a moment, then looked around. Whose child?
"I'm here to recommend myself." Tao Ran thought of her mother-in-law, and even though she was timid, she mustered up the courage at that moment.
