Surprise! The top graduates from Peking University and Tsinghua University are actually supported by

The assistant director beckoned to his assistant, and the assistant came over.

"This girl is pretty good. Let's move her to the front later so she can add a few lines." The assistant director instructed in a low voice.

The assistant wanted to take note of the other person's appearance so as to make better arrangements, but when he took one look at him, his eyes almost popped out.

"Brother, brother...brother," the assistant pulled the director's arm and didn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

"Are you going to lay eggs?" the assistant director said with disgust.

"No, no, this is a celebrity, very popular! Her name is Yi Jie, you can search for her on the Internet!" The assistant finally managed to finish the words and took a deep breath.

The assistant director suspiciously opened his phone to search. He was considered a veteran in the entertainment industry. Although he frequently visited film crews and seldom surfed the Internet for gossip, he was more or less familiar with all the actors in the domestic entertainment industry. He had never heard of this newcomer named Yi Jie. Could it be that she had emerged in the past few months?

When he searched Yi Jie's name, the assistant director was dumbfounded by the string of highly valuable award-winning experiences and titles in the introduction column. It turned out that she was a proud child in the academic circle. Then he saw her identity as a guest performer in the Rural Life Diary, and he suddenly realized that this program was very popular recently and many people around him were discussing it, but he didn't learn more about it. Variety shows are just disguised shows.

So the current situation is that a very popular artist and a big shot in the academic circle came to their crew to be an extra. What a crazy operation! Could it be that the thinking of a genius is always different from that of ordinary people?

The casting director probably didn't pay attention to the latest hot topics like him, and was in the film and television city every day, so he recruited him as an extra. At least he could get a supporting role and enjoy the double dressing room for the makeup artist.

This really offended someone. Who knows what he was thinking about in his mind about how to arrange the crew afterwards. People in the entertainment industry shouldn't care too much about status. The assistant director imagined it alone, and he was getting very anxious.

She walked over to Yi Jie and said with a shy smile, "Teacher Yi, look at you, you are so extraordinary. The casting director has been too tired from work recently and his eyesight is not very good, so he assigned you to the extras. It's our mistake and we should punish you. How about you go to the dressing room to rest first and we can discuss the role allocation again? I promise you will be satisfied."

Yi Jie knew that she was misunderstood, so she quickly explained, "No, no, I just want to be an extra. You don't need to take care of me. Just do it as usual."

She doesn't want to have too many roles in this drama, she just wants to gain some experience.

"Ah? This?" The assistant director looked a little embarrassed, thinking that Yi Jie was deliberately making fun of her.

"Really? I came to Xingmang Film and Television City specifically for training. Although I'm famous, I'm a complete newcomer as an actor. I just want to gain some experience." Yi Jie explained with a smile.

Yi Jie said it so calmly that it was hard not to believe her. The assistant director felt relieved and put on a genuine smile.

"Then I'd better give you two sentences. Can I gain more experience?"

If she refused again, it would be a sign of not giving her face. Yi Jie thought about it and agreed to this, but she did not agree to the assistant director's request to call a makeup artist to re-do her hairstyle. There was no need to go through with it anymore. She felt that her outfit was very suitable for her status, and being too special would affect the overall coordination of the picture.

Yi Jie's indifference and generosity made the assistant director like her more. He naturally showed some care during the process of explaining the play. He often asked Yi Jie if she understood, and explained the best way to perform clearly. It didn't seem like he was explaining the play to the crowd. Those who didn't know would think he was explaining it to the supporting actors who had more roles.

The extras all took out their cell phones and wrote down the director's words. This was a rare opportunity, and it was also thanks to Yi Jie. They usually don't have such a good opportunity to have the assistant director give personal guidance.

Yi Jie followed suit and started to take notes obediently. She was a newcomer among newcomers and had more to learn.

The role of the palace maids this time is neither easy nor difficult, mainly serving dishes at the banquet. The difficulty lies in their manners. They are all palace maids who can serve dishes in the main hall, representing the face of the royal family. How can they be sloppy? No wonder they especially require good manners in this recruitment.

When walking, one must keep one's eyes straight, keep one's eyebrows down, smile at the corners of one's lips, keep one's back straight, and land one's feet silently. The speed is also important, and the distance between two people in front, behind, left and right must always remain constant at all times, seemingly unchanged to the naked eye.

Yi Jie thought that she had good manners among the new generation. At least she looked energetic. She couldn't help but look bitter when she heard such a perverted request.

"Don't worry, there are still two hours of training time. The etiquette teacher is over there. You will go and learn later. The shot time is not long." The assistant director saw Yi Jie's expression and kindly comforted everyone.

Isn't this just forcing someone to do something they are not prepared for? Yi Jie complained inwardly, and resigned herself to following the others to the etiquette teacher's place.

"Yi Jie, wait a minute." The assistant director called her.

"What's wrong, Director?" Yi Jie looked back in confusion.

"I've assigned you two lines, take them and memorize them." The assistant director handed a page of the script to Yi Jie and put it in her hands. The script was originally intended to be spoken by the palace maid who played the role of the noble lady, but it was simply changed to be spoken by Yi Jie.

Yi Jie took a closer look and found that it was not bad, it was quite simple.

"Madam, this is a health-preserving soup made from ginseng that was sent as tribute from foreign countries."

"It is good for pregnant women and can be eaten with confidence."

"only."

After receiving her lines and asking the assistant director a few questions, Yi Jie hurried over to the etiquette teacher.

Seeing the script page in Yi Jie's hand, the extras were extremely envious. Being able to speak the lines means getting to show their faces more often. If they had this opportunity, they might even be noticed.

Apart from seeing Huang Siyu making a heart shape with her hand towards her, Yi Jie did not pay special attention to the expressions on other people's faces. She apologized to the etiquette teacher, feeling embarrassed to interrupt her teaching, and only after getting her consent did she join the team and start learning to walk.

After two hours of training, I was generally satisfied. Many people were so tired that their backs ached. Yi Jie had a good body and only felt a little stiff. She secretly chewed a mint candy and the discomfort was gone.

"All ten palace maids for the banquet, gather and get ready to enter!" the staff announced using a loudspeaker.

Everyone had to cheer up and wear soft-soled shoes to wait in front of the staff.

"Let's go." The leading staff member waved his hand and everyone followed.

When they reached the entrance of the main hall, the team stopped. Yi Jie looked around. All the actors were in place, the cameras had been set up, and the director was sitting in front of the monitor, talking on a pager. It looked like they had already filmed a few scenes, and it was unexpected that it would be their turn so early. Yi Jie thought they would have to wait for a whole day.

Actually, according to the previous arrangement, Yi Jie's scenes were to be filmed in the afternoon, but didn't she become the biggest emergency? It was already bad to arrange her to be an extra, and if she was to wait for a whole day on the set, her fans would definitely make a scene if they found out, so they had to move it up.

"Everyone hold this in your hands and raise it to your forehead. After the filming starts, go inside and follow the assistant director's instructions to serve the dishes in order. Teacher Yi, remember to rehearse your lines with Teacher Yu Jin before leaving." The staff instructed one by one.

The soup, served in exquisite porcelain, was distributed to everyone. It looked exquisite and delicious. If Yi Jie had not been able to smell the strong aroma of Chinese medicine, she would have really wanted to try it. But when she thought that some actors would have to drink more than one sip later, her mouth became bitter.

"3, 2, 1, go!" The director's signal to start filming reached everyone's ears.

Yi Jie adjusted her state and followed the team, taking every step carefully according to the requirements of the etiquette teacher. The picture on the monitor was quite perfect, as if she really saw well-trained palace maids serving dishes in an orderly manner.

"My dear ministers, please try the food from these foreign countries. What is the difference between it and the food from our Tang Dynasty?" The powerful voice of He Huating, who played Emperor Taizong, rang out in the hall.

Yi Jieren had already walked to her corresponding table and respectfully placed the soup bowl on the table.

"What is this?" Yu Jin, who played the role of the lady, spoke the lines.

Yi Jie was nervous inside, and she felt a little panicked as it was her first time acting and speaking lines, but she had experienced bigger scenes than this before, so she remained calm and composed.

"Madam, this is a health-preserving soup made from ginseng that was sent as tribute from foreign countries."

The girl's clear and transparent voice was transmitted in the hall. The director ordered the camera to move closer, and took a firm shot of Yi Jie's jade-like white side face. Under the high-definition camera, the fuzz on her cheeks was still clearly visible. Her bright red lips opened and closed, coupled with her heart-piercing voice, the overall look was extremely beautiful.

“Can pregnant women eat it?”

"It is beneficial for pregnant women and can be consumed without worry." Yi Jie was not unaware of the camera moving closer. Her back was already sweating. Fortunately, she was accustomed to the camera filming at any time when she was recording variety shows before. Otherwise, she might not be able to hold on when this happened suddenly.

"Understood, back off."

"Yes." Feeling relieved, Yi Jie got up and packed her luggage. Her movements were pleasing to the eye, and her slender body showed off the beauty of a palace maid to the fullest.

As soon as I walked out of the hall, I heard a pretentious male voice. Yes, it was a male voice.

"Oops, my expression wasn't right just now, let me take it again."

Yi Jie had already left the hall. She was really curious about who was speaking and how he could use such a low voice to make a very ordinary sentence sound so complicated.

After seeing this, Yi Jie was stunned. What a mighty and tall young man. From the clothes he wore and the position he sat in, it could be determined that he was the actor of Li Zhi. Yi Jie couldn't remember his name, but she had the impression that he was not famous before. Maybe he only played in this one drama. No way, sir, you look very manly, but actually you are a coquettish person.

"Ju Ming, the shots are very good, there's no need to reshoot them." The director said with a headache.

"No, no, I have to start over. My hair is covering my face. My makeup must have been ruined. I need to touch it up again." The man called Ju Ming spoke in a pinched voice again.

The director looked unhappy for a second, then immediately changed his face to a smile and said, "Okay, then you clean up first and we'll shoot again."

Yi Jie felt that she should have found the star that the two big brothers complained about, a little-known actor who had not become popular even with the high popularity of "The Glory of Tang Dynasty". She didn't know whether he had retired or was not a serious actor.

Seeing that the director-in-chief is giving him so much face, he must have a very powerful background to be able to be so unscrupulous.

But now Yi Jie, who was standing in the corner, had a mouth that could hold a whole egg. It was the first time she saw a man who loved beauty so much. There weren't many places that could be changed for male makeup, but he could find faults in his face in the mirror, such as the shadows were not applied well, the jawline was not obvious, the contours were not good-looking, etc. Yi Jie felt that there was no difference at all, and it was completely unreasonable. She felt sorry for his makeup artist for a few seconds. Of course, the most pitiful ones were the crew. You know, the film used for filming is expensive, and every reshoot costs a lot of money.

After finally waiting for him to touch up his makeup, they started the second shoot. With experience behind her, Yi Jie felt more at ease and performed even better than the first time, so the director shot a few more frames of her.

As a result, the man named Ju Ming started to act up again, "Director, the way I looked at Wu Zetian just now was not affectionate enough. Let's do it again."

The atmosphere in the room became noticeably darker, and He Huating, who was sitting at the top, looked almost as black as coal.

However, after calming down for a few seconds, the director agreed to his request.

Yi Jie held her breath and filmed the third time. Thank God, she finally stopped acting like a demon and was finally free. She looked with sympathy at the dedicated actors who were still filming on the set, and ran towards the dressing room without looking back.

The soles of my feet really hurt after wearing soft-soled shoes for a long time. Life was so hard for women in ancient times. They had to pay their respects to the elders at home, and married women had to visit their husbands every morning and evening. The rich families had such big gardens that they had to walk around in them. Just thinking about it makes my feet hurt.

Yi Jie lamented the difficulties of being a woman in ancient times. She changed her clothes quickly, put on the watch she had taken off before, and sent a message to Pei Yanan, telling them that the filming had been completed and would be out soon.

"Wow, I heard you say before that there is a guy who likes to act like a big shot in the Tang Dynasty crew. Today I finally saw it. The director almost couldn't hold back his laughter. I don't think he is a big shot. What can he rely on?"

"It's good today. I only made up for it twice. I've been in the group four times, and he was crazy every time. The last time we shot a scene until midnight, and the extras were outside in the rain. He made random changes to the script in his room, making everyone wait with him, and no one dared to say anything. It's all because of his amazing background. I heard that his father is the biggest investor in this drama. If it weren't for the high chance of being assigned lines here, I wouldn't have wanted to come a long time ago."

"I thought so. He doesn't look familiar. He dared to change the script. The director must be so frustrated. He must have someone in power to be awesome!"

"It was his first time acting, he brought in money, and specifically asked to play Li Zhi. He changed the script so many times that I don't know how many times he changed it. I heard that the screenwriter wanted to quit several times. He changed the script so badly that the director had to do him a big favor to keep him."

……

The sounds from the changing rooms next to them gradually faded away. Yi Jie was filled with gossip. She just wanted to say that the crew was so unlucky, and the director and screenwriter were so unlucky that their future was ruined by a troublemaker. It was so pitiful for those two men.

Yi Jie sighed and walked out of the changing room, planning to leave by car.

"Teacher Yi, wait a minute!" The casting director came running over, panting, holding a red envelope in his hand, and stuffed it into Yi Jie's hand without saying a word.

Yi Jie was confused. Her salary for today had already been sent to the WeChat group. Just as she was about to push it back, she heard the casting director say in a friendly manner, "The chief director is very satisfied with your performance today. You should have a pay raise if you have lines to say. And you contributed several beautiful shots to Datang Fenghua today. You have to take this red envelope. It was approved by the chief director and the producer. I don't have the right to do so."

Knowing the whole situation, Yi Jie accepted the red envelope. The casting director pointed out a place where it would be easier for Yi Jie to catch the bus back home, and then left.

Yi Jie held the red envelope in her hand and sighed. She was not the kind of person who would not return the favor. She would wait for a chance to say a few good words for them in the future.
