Chapter 117 Empathy
This is the assistant Tang Xiaoxiao recommended for her.
Qiao Ruoxing stretched out her hand, "Hello."
The other party was also very calm and shook her hand, "Hello, Boss Qiao, Xiaoxiao said she told you about my situation?"
Qiao Ruoxing nodded, "She said you have a son and you need to take care of him on weekends."
The other party nodded and said slightly uneasily, "If it's inconvenient, I can enroll my son in full care on weekends. Anyway, it's very close to my home. I really need this job."
Qiao Ruoxing was not in a hurry to answer, but asked the other party some simple questions.
Chen Xi also answered fluently. She does have experience as an assistant, and the actors she worked with before were quite big.
She entered the industry at the age of nineteen and resigned at the age of twenty-seven. With eight years of experience, she is considered an old person in the industry.
The reason for her resignation was to get married and have children. Her career requires her to travel around the country and she has no home. Neither she nor her husband, now she should be called her ex-husband, are from the local area. There is no one to take care of the children. They should hire a nanny. Both parties are worried. They are both worried about this. There was a quarrel over this matter, but after careful consideration, she quit the job for the sake of her children's growth and education.
I found a leisurely clerical job near my home. Although the salary is not high, fortunately, I have less leisure time, free time, and no restrictions. It is also convenient for me to come to work with my children.
After a few years of this, her husband made some achievements in his career, got promoted, and his salary increased a lot than before. She thought her life was gradually getting better, but she found out that her husband was having an affair.
She immediately filed for divorce without any delay.
Because of her own financial difficulties, the child was eventually given to her ex-husband. She could only visit the child on Sundays a week and take the child home.
And because of the divorce, her family doesn't understand her, and they are not even willing to contact her now.
She is anxious to find a job and want to start a career, just so that one day she can regain custody of her children.
Qiao Ruoxing had seen too many divorces, which were very disgraceful. When she heard Chen Xi handle the divorce so decisively, she didn't care about it, but she didn't understand.
"He is the party at fault. Don't you plan to use this fact to sue in court? In this way, even if he uses finance as an excuse, he will not be able to win custody rights."
Chen Xi shook his head, "I thought about it before when I was not married, but after I actually had a child, there were too many things that constrained me, so I didn't dare to do it. He is the father of the child, and the child has a good impression of him. I can't help it. To destroy the image of the father in the child's mind. Even though he owes me, he is always sincere to the child. It's just that the adult's own feelings have not reached the end. There is no need to involve the child. If he has good conditions, the child will live with him. Relax, I will fight him for custody again when I am able in the future.”
Not sure if he felt the same way, but Qiao Ruoxing suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
When you become a mother, you have more worries, and you can only swallow all the pain by yourself.
She suddenly remembered what Gu Jingyan said.
Children will only be a burden if we are not sure we will make it to the end.
Children are independent individuals, not tools to lock anyone up. A marriage without emotions will come to an end with or without children. If you have children, you will be tied up.
"Boss Qiao, what do you think of me?"
Chen Xi asked softly. It could be seen that she was very worried.
Qiao Ruoxing said, "You should know that I am a newcomer in this circle, right?"
Chen Xi nodded, "Xiaoxiao told me."
"So my salary may not be as high as yours before. It's 15,000 yuan a month. All food and lodging during the filming period will be reimbursed. I'll try not to arrange work for you on weekends. If you think it's okay, we'll sign it. If If you feel it’s not suitable, let Xiaoxiao help you look for someone else.”
Chen Xi was stunned for a moment. She thought that the other party would only offer 10,000 yuan at most. She used to follow those first-line celebrities and got a lot of money. However, she had been out of the industry for two or three years, and her new employer was just entering the industry. The newcomers, 15,000 are really top-notch.
She was a little excited, but her tone was still calm, "Yes, I can sign the contract now."
Qiao Ruoxing smiled and said, "The contract hasn't been printed yet. It will be drawn up by then. Let Xiaoxiao ask you to sign it. I have to shoot a short play today, so I might have to trouble you to go to work today."
Tang Xiaoxiao was stunned, "What short play?"
On the way, Qiao Ruoxing told her about Gao Lan's request for help last night.
"I plan to speak out for charity and get zero pay."
After hearing this, Tang Xiaoxiao agreed very much, "This is a good thing. The pay for such short scripts is not much, but this experience is rare. In the future, if your drama becomes popular and others pick up your information, if you find out this This kind of experience is very advantageous to you. Of course, we are not saying that you should set up any personality, but when you step into this circle, you have to adapt to the rules of this circle. You may not mess with others, but others will mess with you. , we must be more careful.”
There are too many things about actors who have become popular and have been exposed for negative information, and some of them are not even considered negative information. But once it is used to make a fuss by someone who is interested, it will have a huge impact on rising artists.
Chen Xi also said, "Another point is that in dramas like Stars, in addition to reviewing the quality and values of the drama itself, the actors themselves will also be examined. Such actors with charity performance experience will be particularly favored by TV stations, and if there are related activities in the future , these artists with clean foundations will also be given priority.”
It seems that this help is really helpful.
"Then, do you still plan to appear on the variety show "Voice of Film and Television"?"
"No, have you forgotten the contract I signed with Li Yan? During the filming period, I will not accept any commercial performances in the name of Rimu Fanxing."
And the script for this variety show is too outrageous. She doesn't want to act with a bunch of people.
Tang Xiaoxiao felt a little sorry, but she still respected her choice.
Tang Xiaoxiao went to the company halfway, and Chen Xi accompanied her to the set.
After arriving, she found that the crew's funds were really tight, and the filming location was actually rented in a few houses in a local community.
In the entire crew, in addition to the actors, there were only a dozen staff members in total, and a few were brought in by the criminal investigation team to work.
But everyone's attitude was very serious, and they were very enthusiastic to see the actors.
Qiao Ruoxing didn't know that in the first half of the month, there were at least dozens of actors who came to shoot, but there was not a single actress as iconic as her.
The criminal investigation team was busy day and night every day, and they didn't even have time to date. How could these single guys not be enthusiastic when they suddenly saw such a beautiful girl.
However, Gao Lan's words dampened everyone's enthusiasm, "They're married, so they should do what they should do."
After everyone left, Gao Lan said, "Were you okay last night? Actually, you can come tomorrow."
Qiao Ruoxing smiled, "I was idle at home, so I came here early to adapt."
Gao Lan didn't ask any more questions.
Qiao Ruoxing has a good sense of the camera, and she especially understands what the director wants. After filming a scene, it was very smooth. Moreover, she has good lines and leads people into the play, and even her opponents don't have many NGs.
The director filmed for half a month, and today was the smoothest day of filming.
When the filming was over, it was already dark.
The director praised her and asked her when she was free and if she could come to shoot a few more.
Gao Lan was afraid that Qiao Ruoxing was uncomfortable, so she refused for her, "Director Zhang, I just came here to help, and you really treat me as free labor?"
