Section 39: Sugar Water
It was not until midnight that I couldn't sleep anymore that Duane got up from the warm quilt. He put on his clothes and walked out with his pants. As soon as he opened the door, he smelled a sweet smell, which made people feel so sweet.
Hearing the sound, Shen Huifang poked her head out of the kitchen and saw Du An standing at the door of the room covering her nose, and shrank her head back.
"It's time to get up. I've left you with vegetables in the rice cooker. Just heat it up."
Jiangnan loves sweets, but Duan doesn't know if it's genetic mutation and hates sweets deeply. Therefore, when he smells this sweet and greasy smell, he really can't stand it. He covered his nose and ran to wash, squeezed into the kitchen, and took his hands off his nose. Human adaptability is indeed strong, and he accepts it as he smells it.
Shen Huifang's kitchen is very small, and it is almost filled with two people when they squeeze in, making it difficult to turn around.
Duan turned on the rice cooker, and there was leftover rice. There was also a small porcelain bowl with fried shredded pork with snow vegetables in the middle, which was kept warm using the residual heat of the rice. Duan picked it up and tried the temperature across the edge of the bowl, which was still warm, so he didn't bother Aunt Chen anymore. He opened the cupboard and took out a porcelain bowl to serve the rice. He directly ate the shredded pork with snow vegetables.
The dish is half warm, a little cool, but acceptable.
"Hey! You kid, heat up the dishes!"
Shen Huifang reached out to get the vegetables with one hand. Du An stopped her and protected the bowl with the other: "No, the temperature is just right, it will be too hot when it is hot, and I can't eat it."
Facing Du An's stubbornness, Shen Huifang had no choice but to give up and go back to **** her own business.
Du An looked at Shen Huifang while eating and asked casually: "Aunt Chen, what are you cooking? It's so sweet, how much sugar are you put?" But his mind was thinking about his own affairs.
After the interview that day, Du An also realized that the method of calling someone to audition was really unreliable, so he took the initiative to look for the actresses he liked to take the initiative to lobby. He also distinguished the target - all the Beijing Film and Television Departments of the Central Academy of Drama were blacklisted and did not look for anything. Anyway, there was no chance to find them anyway - he found the Hong Kong and Taiwan Departments, Yang Gongru, Jia Jingwen, Zhang Feng, etc. He visited any of them who were filming near Nanyang recently, but all failed.
These people are more difficult to deal with than Zhang Jingchu: the killer he can get is more than 2 million yuan in salary for Zhang Jingchu, a newcomer, but it is nothing to these actors with some fame. In comparison, the setting that the heroine is a prostitute makes them more concerned, so they all refuse.
He thought about it, and Shen Huifang took his words over: "Isn't this a new official in the street office? I'm quite capable. I brought a few young men and girls from Nanyi to perform dramas for our street office, or a charity show. I don't charge money, so I will start tonight. I just thought, in this winter, it's not easy for these children to come from all over to perform a drama for us. They don't charge money, so they can eat something? I heard that most of these dolls are from Guangzhou, so I just cook some sugar water. I don't know if they are used to drinking it for the first time."
Du An took a few bites of the rice, chewed a few bites and swallowed it completely, and said, "It's good to have free drinks, but you're still picky?" But his mind was still on his own movie.
It would be impossible to continue like this. Otherwise, change the script and change the identity of Qi Wei as a prostitute?
It seemed like this was the only way to do it, Duane began to think about the possibility and direction of adapting the script.
As he thought about it, a bowl of rice had been eaten. After Du An cleaned up the dishes and put them in the cupboard, Shen Huifang's sugar water in the other side was finally cooked.
Seeing Shen Huifang pretending to take the pressure cooker filled with sugar water in person, Du An quickly stopped her: "Aunt Chen! Don't move, I'll do it!" As he said that, he snatched up and squeezed Shen Huifang aside.
The pressure cooker was filled with sugar water, and the amount was imagined, not to mention taking it to the street office theater. So Duan snatched the work of holding the pressure cooker. Shen Huifang used a basket to fill the bowls and chopsticks, and the two walked towards the street office theater.
The small street office theater is not far from here. After walking for seven or eight minutes, there was a red scroll hanging on the gate of "Warm Welcome to Nanyang Art Academy tonight's charity performance "Thunderstorm"" and the iron gate was open. After walking in and turning around, there was a large courtyard with long benches in the courtyard, and a stage was set on the other end of the yard. On both sides of the stage were a half-person-high speakers, and there were five or six students in casual clothes rehearsing there.
The yard is covered with high walls, and there is no wind in the yard. There are a few elderly people sitting on the long benches in the yard. The golden warm sunshine in the winter afternoon is making people lazy. These elderly people look at the students on the stage rehearsing while they are drowsy, chatting with the people around them from time to time. Among them, an old man wearing a melon-shaped hat has been fascinated and dozing there with crutches. The students rehearsing on the stage do not use a microphone and the speakers are also turned off. Only when they occasionally have loud noises can they pass it down from the stage, like a lullaby, which is set against the warm sunshine that is about to drain the strength of the person's bones, and the whole yard is leisurely and quiet.
Du An took the pot and followed Shen Huifang to the stage.
With Shen Huifang's greeting, the students immediately ran down cheering and cheered, and Du An and Shen Huifang handed them the sugar water. The students all laughed and said, "Thank you aunt" and then took the sugar water, drinking and chatting. Several of them looked at Du An from time to time, thinking that this person looked familiar, as if they were the one who caused the false evidence a while ago, but after talking quietly, they smiled, obviously they felt that the two just looked similar, and Du An could not be that person.
These students are indeed from Guangzhou. They speak vernacular language when they speak to each other, and Du An can barely understand it.
"Director Du?"
A female voice drew Duane's attention.
He turned his head and saw a woman in a tweed coat and dressed solemnly.
"Secretary Zhu."
Before Du An could speak, Shen Huifang was the first to say hello.
"Zhu...worker?"
Duane felt that his brain was a little too small.
The solemn woman in front of me was Zhu Qian: In the crew of "Saw", he admired the actress the most, but why is she here now? Aunt Chen still called her Officer Zhu?
Zhu Qian walked up and smiled and said, "Aunt Chen, why did you really make sugar water for them? I'm really troubled you." Shen Huifang waved her hands repeatedly and said, "It's okay. It's not easy for these little guys to be alone in other places. It's really hard to come and do a charity show for us when I have no rest Sunday."
"They are the only one who can get the opportunity to perform for the masses."...
After Shen Huifang and Zhu Qian had finished greetings, Shen Huifang took the basket of bowls and chopsticks back first, and Du An asked Du An to take the pot back in a while. After drinking the sugar water, the students returned to the stage and began to rehearse. Du An and Zhu Qian found a bench and sat down.
"Why are you here? What's the job?"
Duane couldn't wait to ask.
Zhu Qian looked at the students on the stage, looked at Du An again, gave him a free and easy smile, and said, "I am no longer an actor..."
When "Saw" was a success, although Duane did not get any benefits, the benefits of others in the film were all made, especially the two starring actors Zhang Jiayi and Zhu Yuchen. They soared into the sky with this movie alone, and they had already become the second-tier star list, but Zhu Qian didn't have such good luck.
After the popularity of "Saw", the situation of this small supporting role has not changed. It is still just a special actor, and it can still play a supporting role in some small productions, which completely shattered Zhu Qian's confidence.
"...I can't catch such an opportunity and become popular. I think I may never find a better opportunity in the future than this one. I guess I can only live in this life. I am not a person who can make a living. So I finally gave up and accepted the arrangements from my family. I went to the street office here to become a clerk, then got married and had children."
"My family is right. I am born with a lack of innateness and not suitable for being an actor."
Zhu Qian smiled when she said this. The sun shone from her front, and the golden sunlight gently covered her face. From Duane, you could even see the fine fluff on her face.
Du An listened to her words and looked at her free and easy smile, feeling uncomfortable, and just wanted to curse: Go ******’s congenital deficiencies, a group of fuck**** blind directors!
