Film and Television Variety Show: The Jade Girl's Love Affair

Actually, it's because calling him "Xiao Bei" sounds more intimate and familiar. Zhang Ruoyun thinks Xiao Bei is especially cute and pretty, making people want to tease him.

"What about Xiaoyuyu?"

Tang Yu glared at the person in front of her, and was about to say something when the assistant director called her to go out and rehearse.

"Brother Yun, let's talk next time!"

After saying this, Tang Yu quickly ran out to start preparing for filming.

Filming is a very tedious thing. A short scene requires several rehearsals to find the right angle before the actual filming can begin.

Xiao Ya's scenes are concentrated in the early part of the story, mainly her romantic relationship with Zhou Weiguo, as well as some scenes of her going to work.

When filming, Tang Yu would always semi-hypnotize herself into the character, immersing herself in the character's emotions.

Therefore, her filming efficiency was quite good; at least the director and Wen Zhang didn't dislike her.

I've been in this industry since I was a child, and my reputation is alright.

However, Xiao Ya's scenes are scattered, sometimes she has scenes on a particular day, and sometimes she doesn't, so she has to wait on set every day.

Having grown up in this industry, Tang Yu felt that the coordination was terrible, sometimes just improvising on the spot.

Beijing winters are very cold; once December arrives, many people are already wearing long down jackets.

Tang Yu and Zhang Ruoyun, who had few scenes, spent their time watching others act on set, and when they got bored, they would go out for hot pot and chat.

"I heard from the director that an investor is coming over tonight to treat the lead actors to dinner, so we'll probably have to go too."

Both of them are self-employed in the entertainment industry, without agents or assistants.

The filming location was quite boring, so the two quickly became acquainted and became dining buddies, going out for hot pot seven or eight times already.

"It's just a business dinner, where everyone flatters each other, drinks, reminisces about their youth, and we just give each other a little praise."

As for whether there are any unspoken rules, of course there are.

But these days, no one can control everything. If you refuse the unspoken rules, you'll just be kicked out of the production crew.

If you accept the unspoken rules, you might be able to secure a supporting role with decent screen time.

If you want to become the lead actor through underhanded means, your backer needs to invest tens of millions of dollars and guarantee that the TV station will buy the rights to the series.

Therefore, the director could only arrange for his lover to play a minor supporting role.

In this world, everyone only cares about their own interests.

Dream on if you think you can get a leading role by sleeping with the producer and assistant director!

“I’m a little worried about you. You used to be a child star, so you rarely have to go out for meals or social events. I’m afraid you don’t have much experience.”

"There will definitely be people trying to get you to drink, do you want me to drink for you?"

Seeing Zhang Ruoyun's worried expression, Tang Yu revealed a genuine smile.

"Brother Yun, thank you for reminding me of this, but you don't need to worry about me. I've practiced drinking before. When you're in this circle, you can't be too careful."

As for social engagements, when I was a kid, I often filmed children's clothing commercials, and later I did some snack endorsements. Actually, after each of those commercials, there would always be social engagements and meals.

Yes, I have actually encountered pedophiles.

At this point, Tang Yu paused for a moment, recalling some unhappy memories.

Zhang Ruoyun immediately asked with concern.

"Did I remind you of something unpleasant? Let's not talk about this anymore. I'll drink for you tonight."

“There are scumbags everywhere. Once, a snack brand approached me for an endorsement deal. They offered a very high price, and my dad was tempted.”

After meeting me, the other party got my dad drunk and tried to take me to a hotel, but my dad wasn't completely drunk. He took out a vase and smashed it, seriously injuring the hotel owner.

It's a truly unpleasant memory. He was clearly a scumbag, but my dad hit him, and I ended up having to pay compensation.

After recounting this past event, Tang Yu smiled as she looked at the still worried expression on the person in front of her.

“I didn’t suffer any psychological trauma because when I encountered this kind of person again, I took matters into my own hands and recorded the conversation as evidence, so I didn’t have to pay any compensation.”

"Brother Yun, I really have martial arts training. Mo Xiaobei's martial arts aren't just for show."

These words made Zhang Ruoyun laugh.

"There is a big difference in physical strength between men and women. Don't think that just because you have practiced martial arts, you can look down on others."

Anyway, I'll try my best to help you avoid drinking tonight. If you really can't refuse, just have one or two drinks.

After dark, a group of people arrived at the reserved private room.

The producer, director, lead actor Wen Zhang, and several other well-known male actors were all present.

The group was playing drinking games and chatting, while Tang Yu and Zhang Ruoyun were just background figures; they had nothing to do with it.

Although they drank a few glasses of wine in between, they mostly joked about how Mo Xiaobei had grown up, and their eyes were quite loving.

However, Zhang Ruoyun couldn't escape it. After being a background figure in the first half, it was his turn to toast the uncles and elders in the second half.

In the end, Tang Yu was fine, but Zhang Ruoyun got himself drunk.

The dinner party only ended after I went to the restroom to vomit.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Zhang Ruoyun insisted on personally escorting Tang Yu back to her hotel.

"Are you sure you're sober? I think I should be the one taking you back to your hotel to rest."

"I'm a little drunk, but I'm perfectly sober. You're a girl, don't you know how beautiful you are?"

"Aren't you afraid of running into bad guys when a pretty girl walks alone in the dark late at night?"

The area around the film and television base is indeed not very prosperous, and all sorts of people gather there.

It is said that many fugitive criminals like to gather in the surrounding area to act as extras, so the safety level is indeed not very high.

"Okay, I shouldn't refuse your kindness. Let's walk back to the hotel together."

The hotel and restaurant are actually only a 10-minute walk apart, but walking in the dark does feel a bit eerie.

"Did you dress up deliberately tonight? You look like a middle school student."

Walking on the sidewalk, Zhang Ruoyun asked out of curiosity, because he felt that Tang Yu's makeup tonight was making her look younger.

"You noticed that? Anyway, I'm still young, so I dress like a middle school student so that when people are drinking, they'll subconsciously exclude me."

To succeed in this circle, the key is to be shrewd and adaptable. Tang Yu had seriously studied psychological tactics.

“When I was your age, I really wanted to grow up and play the role of an adult. I seemed to be much more childish than you.”

Upon hearing Zhang Ruoyun's sarcastic remark, Tang Yu laughed mercilessly.

“Brother Yun, you’re only three years older than me, we’re the same age, so don’t act like an elder in front of me.”

Once the topic was brought up, Zhang Ruoyun couldn't help but complain about the uncles and elders at the dinner party that night.

They talked about the gossip surrounding this group, including who kept a mistress and who divorced and abandoned their wives and children.

Tang Yu was certain that Zhang Ruoyun was sober, but he seemed to talk a lot after drinking, sharing all the gossip with her.

"Brother Yun, you're such a gossip! Did you sneak into someone's bed? You have so many things to share with me."

"If you don't like hearing this, then I won't say it."

"No, please tell me! I love hearing gossip, and I promise I won't tell anyone else!"

……

After filming for three months, Tang Yu heard countless juicy gossips from Zhang Ruoyun, making her the happiest gossipmonger in the gossip field!

Who can resist a friend who loves to share gossip?

Tang Yu, that untrustworthy person, sends Xia Xue gossip via text message every day.

Chapter 7 Home with Kids 7

Xiao Ya's last scene is the highlight.

Xiao Ya, who had been captured by the Japanese, originally wanted to escape. When she saw Zhou Weiguo arrive, she hoped that her lover would come to save her.

However, the Japanese army had fierce firepower and a large number of personnel.

Seeing that Zhou Weiguo was about to rush in and be captured by the Japanese, Xiao Ya cried out, "Weiguo, run! Don't worry about me..."

Then, Xiao Ya picked up the gun that Zhou Weiguo had given her and shot herself!

This is a crucial scene, and the entire crew is focused on filming it today.

After rehearsing the scene, Tang Yu hypnotized herself with a bit of emotional manipulation.

This scene was heartbreaking.

Then, Tang Yu and Wen Zhang filmed this scene for three hours!

It wasn't that the two had any NGs, but rather that this scene needed to be shown from different angles, so it was filmed again and again.

Tang Yu had never cried so bitterly in her life.

After crying and screaming until her voice was hoarse, the director finally yelled "That's a good take!"

Then, the article burst into tears on the spot!

Tang Yu hadn't yet woken up from the hypnotic state. She cried and laughed at the same time, "Ah, I died so tragically!"

It was freezing cold in the dead of winter, and Tang Yu started shivering as she cried.

The staff on site all laughed.

Zhang Ruoyun came to the scene today to watch, and saw Tang Yu crying and laughing at the same time.

He quickly pulled out a tissue and handed it to her, then took the down jacket and draped it over Tang Yu's shoulders.

"Look, there's no assistant. There's no one to put a coat on you after filming."

"Poverty makes people lose their ambition. Do I have the money to hire an assistant?"

After wiping away her tears and snot with the tissue, Tang Yu stood up and put on her down jacket.

"Brother Yun, I've finally wrapped up filming! I can go home for the New Year!"
