Chapter 925 Survival Game 113
In the days that followed, Tao Ran waited for contact from the crew.
The next day, no news.
The third day, the fourth day, still nothing.
Tao Ran was disappointed, she was cheated.
She regrets it.
On Sunday, she shouldn't be waiting for news at home, but should go to the set for another day.
It was another Friday, and Tao Ran decided to go to the set early on Saturday morning.
But as soon as she walked out of the school gate, she saw the person she had been thinking about for a long time - Assistant Director Ge.
He and his uncle, the driver who took Tao Ran to the station last time, were waiting for her outside the school gate.
"I thought you wouldn't come."
"I was supposed to come two days ago, but Director Wang said that the final exam was coming soon, and I was worried that it would affect your study if it was not a weekend, so I waited until today."
Tao Ran is happy.
"Thank you uncles for the trip. I can finish my homework today and go to the set tomorrow."
"There's no rush. We went to your school and asked. You have your final exam next week. You can go to the set after you finish the exam."
"Ah?" Isn't she just an extra character? Why bother? Did you come to her school specifically to ask? "Then uncles are not here to pick me up?..." Tao Ran didn't understand at all, so what were they doing here?
Assistant Director Ge has been here for a while. They went to the school to find Tao Ran's class teacher and asked about Tao Ran's academic status. They were satisfied to learn that she had both good character and academic performance.
Of course, they didn't tell the story about Tao Ran breaking into the crew last week. They just said that the crew was looking for a suitable actor. They saw Tao Ran by chance and thought she was full of energy, so they came to ask.
Then they learned a lot about Tao Ran from the head teacher, which was basically consistent with the child's own statement last time. They were even more relieved when they saw that the head teacher spoke well of their children.
"The main reason we came here this time is to meet your mother-in-law."
"Why?" Tao Ran was nervous for a moment. Her mother-in-law didn't know that she secretly went to the set.
"To sign a contract, a guardian is required to act as his agent."
"Don't extra actors need to sign a contract?"
"Silly boy!" Director Ge rubbed Tao Ran's head.
If she was just used as an extra, why bother? Last week, the supporting actors and actresses got emotional, but Director Wang didn't want to film anymore. At that moment, they knew that Director Wang had other ideas.
Sure enough, Director Wang organized a meeting with the producers and screenwriters that night.
At the meeting, two sets of Tao Ran's short films were played, which also caught the attention of producers and screenwriters.
Director Wang: "Do you believe that these are all one-liners that have not been rehearsed and directed? How long have you not seen such a catchy newcomer? There are not many actors with spiritual energy and infectious energy, and even fewer actors who convey emotions through their eyes and performances. .
You also know that the strength of the male and female partners is there. Rather than letting this explosive plot be in danger of being delayed, it is better to divert the highlight of this scene. It's better to let this kid lead the performance of those two people. "
The producer was the first to nod. Her eyes and nose were sore just now. When young actors are used well, it is indeed easier to move the audience's emotions than the leading actors. She just wants the audience to come to her head! When it comes to children, audiences are more likely to feel compassion and are more tolerant.
The two leading actors in this scene both stepped in, and there was only one child. And she heard that because of the appearance of this child, the leading actors in the two scenes this afternoon cheered up, so it would be a good idea for this child to stay and encourage them.
Director Wang was still saying good things to Tao Ran: "There are so many shining points in this little girl. When you were as old as her, you didn't have such great pursuit and perseverance, right? You wouldn't be so active in striving for opportunities, right? I was moved. , give her a chance."
The producer laughed: "Director Wang said that, so of course I nodded. Since you asked us to come, you must give the little girl more than just one or two scenes, right?" Otherwise, as a director, he would just make the decision.
Director Wang: "I want to add a character to it, one with a name and a surname that can be included in the cast list. With the little girl's acting skills, it would be a pity to only be an extra. Let her take the lead in this scene that needs to explode!"
Director Wang looked at the screenwriter, "It shouldn't be difficult, right?"
"It's not difficult at all. It just makes sense to use the role of a child to push the conflict further."
…
That's it, Tao Ran has a role.
Happy arrival!
Of course it is also the result of her own efforts!
This is how her first drama came about!
When my mother-in-law got off work and saw guests coming to the house, and heard about the director’s purpose, she thought he was a liar.
But Director Ge not only presented the contract, but also said that he had arranged a hotel in a neighboring city, and she was welcome to visit the set now...
Tao Ran clearly told her mother-in-law: "This is what I want."
"But you have to go to school."
"Mother-in-law, I promise you that it will not affect my studies. But you know my body, and I don't want to spend my whole life in school like this. I want to cherish my time even more!"
She only has twenty-four years in total!
If she goes to school smoothly and graduates from college, her life will almost be over.
Not only was it a waste of money, it wasn't what she wanted.
"If I really only have so many years, I hope I will live them wonderfully!"
Tao Ran held her mother-in-law's hand: "I hope that my name will be known to others, instead of being like a piece of dust that disappears after death. I want to become a star, so even if I die, you can see me in another way." Me. Many years later, there will be people in this world who will remember me.”
Granny Hua has nothing but love for Tao Ran. Naturally, she can only give her full support to whatever the child wants to do.
In this way, the contract was finally placed in front of Tao Ran and Granny Hua.
As for the salary, the tentative five-digit figure made Tao Ran's heart almost jump out of his chest.
This number is the salary of Granny Hua’s current job for three years.
Tens of thousands.
And the payment is made first.
During the following winter vacation, Tao Ran stayed on the set.
Except for the three days during the Chinese New Year, she stayed on the set the rest of the time.
In order to take care of Tao Ran, Granny Hua had no choice but to quit her job. This is what Tao Ran hopes.
Tao Ran didn't have many scenes, and they were filmed in five days.
But she wanted to study, and there was an acting teacher on the set, so she just took classes there for more than ten days.
Who wouldn’t like a child who is humble and talented?
The screenwriter wrote two more scenes for her and arranged an ending for her to die in that indifferent world.
This is also what Director Wang meant.
Tao Ran's first drama, only BE, makes people more heartbroken, unforgettable, and regretful.
She was beaten to death on the street in the snowy field with biting cold wind, and her blood stained the white snow red.
What she could not forget until her death was that "home".
The scene where her last tear fell on the snow and fainted into a circle before she died became a highlight of the movie. And Tao Ran's tragic ending has become the biggest regret for all viewers who have watched this play.
