Chapter 191 Entertainment Circle (8)
The next morning, Ning Shu went to find Mai Duoer and prepared to take her to an audition. In the next few days, Ning Shu planned to take Mai Duoer to various film sets for auditions.
When they arrived at Mai Duoer's apartment, Mai Duoer was watching TV, staring at the people on TV, obviously trying to figure out how others acted.
Ning Shu walked over and said, "It's no use just watching like this. We still have to immerse ourselves in the situation and slowly figure it out. Let's go for the audition today."
When Mai Duoer mentioned the audition, her face turned pale. She said to Ning Shu, "Sister Chen, can we find a gentler director? The director yesterday was so fierce."
Mai Duoer was about to cry because of the director's scolding yesterday.
Ning Shu said calmly, "Now they are choosing us, not us choosing others. Every actor has worked their way up this way. Unless you have a big background or a big name, you must at least be a hotshot. Otherwise, why should others be polite to you?"
"Just work your way up. You will eventually get through it." Ning Shu comforted Mai Duoer.
But Mai Duoer was not comforted by her agent at all. Instead, she had a shadow in her heart.
Ning Shu took Mai Duoer to the set. Mai Duoer's face was not very good along the way. She said to Ning Shu: "Sister Chen, I want to catch up with the notice first, and then I want to sign up for an acting training. I always get scolded for acting without knowing anything?"
"Sister Chen, you have signed up for a vocal training course for Qiao Yi. I also want to sign up for an acting course." Mai Duoer looked at Ning Shu who was driving and said, with a trace of undetectable pleading in her voice.
The last time she went to play an extra, the stage manager gave her fifty yuan. At that time, she wanted to tear up the fifty yuan. Even if she didn't give her the money, Mai Duo would not feel so embarrassed.
She did not tell Chen Xi, her agent, about the fifty yuan.
Ning Shu turned around and glanced at Mai Duoer, then looked forward and said, "You are my artist, I hope you can get a good development. As for taking acting courses, it is really unnecessary. No matter how much you are taught in the course, it is useless. Acting is something that you really have to figure out by yourself. No one can teach you. Find your own sense of the camera and try to make your role vivid. You will learn a lot from acting with these seniors."
"Nothing can be learned more than on the set. There are your seniors here. You should learn from them. Sooner or later, you will step into the entertainment industry. Why don't you get familiar with such an environment earlier?" Ning Shu analyzed with Mai Duoer in an orderly manner.
Mai Duoer was speechless because of Ning Shu. Although the agent was thinking about her everywhere, Mai Duoer felt particularly awkward in her heart. The other party didn't care about her mood at all. When she
arrived at the set, Ning Shu told the director to find a role for her artist, any role would be fine, so that she could hone her artist's acting skills.
This director is even more outrageous than the previous director. He directly let Mai Duoer be a stand-in for a female star to shoot martial arts scenes with wire suspension.
Wearing the same clothes as the female star, only the back is shown. No face is shown, which means she doesn't even have to show her own face.
Ning Shu: ...
Ning Shu was gloating in her heart, but she was hesitant on the surface. She turned her head and looked at Mai Duoer, whose face was pale, and said, "What do you think? If you don't want to, forget it."
Mai Duoer felt bitter in her mouth and asked Ning Shu, "Why didn't the female star shoot it herself but found a stand-in?"
"Because wire suspension is very hard, and she has already achieved success and fame, so she doesn't have to do some of the harder things. The director will take care of it for her." Ning Shu said lightly, speaking very directly.
Mai Duoer bit her lip, nodded reluctantly and said, "I'll try." Ning Shu nodded and comforted Mai Duoer: "The hardships you endure today are for the glory in the future. I believe that you can become a person that people look up to through your own efforts. I am very optimistic about you."
Mai Duoer pulled the corners of her mouth palely. It's not you who will do it. You can only say a few words. Mai Duoer even felt something like resentment towards the agent who said this. Mai Duo was afraid of being scolded by the director, and she felt a little scared.
A makeup artist took Mai Duoer to put on makeup. When she came out again, Mai Duoer had put on the same clothes as the actress. This time she wore beautiful clothes, but she couldn't even show her face.
A staff member tied the coercive wire around Mai Duoer's waist and abdomen, and stuffed a prop sword into Mai Duoer's hand.
The director told Mai Duoer: "Make the fight more exciting later."
Mai Duoer's face turned pale and she said, "Director, I know."
"Begin."
Mai Duoer was lifted into the air in an instant. Mai Duoer let out a miserable scream. She felt as if the wire had relocated her internal organs and was about to embed into her ribs. It was very painful.
The most terrifying thing was that Mai Duoer felt like vomiting when she was dangling from the wire. When the opponent flew over to fight with Mai Duoer, Mai Duo looked stupid and dazed, as if she didn't know what to do, and her hands and feet were weak.
"Kaka...what's wrong with the stand-in? Fight the opponent." The director shouted at Mai Duoer. Mai Duoer felt so uncomfortable that she shouted with a weak breath, "I can't do it, I really can't do it."
When Mai Duoer was put down, she fell directly to the ground, her hands and feet were weak, and Ning Shu walked over to support Mai Duoer.
"What's the matter? You can't even wave the props twice? Can you do it? If not, I'll change someone else. It's a waste of everyone's time." The director frowned and shouted impatiently.
"Sorry, director, we won't act this out." Ning Shu helped Mai Duoer to the side. Mai Duoer vomited and her face was as pale as paper.
Ning Shu opened a bottle of mineral water for Mai Duoer.
After resting for a long time, Mai Duoer seemed to have recovered, but her face was pale.
Ning Shu saw it and said nothing. Mai Duoer had never suffered such hardship before. Whether Mai Duoer admitted it or not, her success was due to Mo Juefeng.
Mo Juefeng doted on her very much. For things like wire hanging, they would find a stand-in, and then the two of them would be affectionate with each other. Naturally, the scenes of suffering were filmed by a stand-in.
People who have not suffered have no right to despise others.
"Sister Chen, I will never do wirework again." Mai Duoer seemed to be a little angry and said that. In fact, she was dissatisfied with Ning Shu. As an agent in the entertainment industry, she would not know how painful it was to do wirework, but she did not remind herself.
Ning Shu looked at her, nodded and said, "Work hard. Once you become a top person, you will not have to suffer so much."
Mai Duoer was very impatient to hear such words. Why did she always shoot such inexplicable scenes? Mai Duoer felt very tired and could not continue.
