I took an imitation class first, and then took a physical class and a line class. The little girls were very excited to receive professional training for the first time, even the most basic training. Great Wall is in Hong Kong and has mixed the styles of the two places. For example, in this training, just like in the Mainland, a small amount of subsidy (mainly transportation expenses) is given every day, and a lunch is provided. It was noon in the blink of an eye, and everyone went to the canteen together. The budget of the leftists is tight, and the food is mediocre. The Shaw Brothers studio next door also has a cafeteria, and the food is mediocre, but it is because of Run Run Shaw's stinginess - it is said that once, a crew wanted to spend 20 yuan to buy 100 fried steamed buns, but Run Run Shaw was I called them back, and the reason was that the steamed buns sold in the company cafeteria were only ten cents each, why did you spend an extra ten cents? “Wow, the food here sucks!” There were other people in the canteen. Yuan Jieying didn't care. She fiddled with her chopsticks carelessly and finally picked out a piece of meat and said, "What do you think? Is it bad?" "It's a bit average." Zhu Yin whispered. "I think it's okay. My family usually eats this way."
Qiu Shuzhen held the steamed buns in one hand and vegetables in the other, eating happily. "Isn't it? If my family eats this, my brothers and sisters will cry." "Huh? How many siblings do you have?" Zhu Yin asked. "My two younger sisters and one younger brother are so annoying to death all day long." "Then I'm better than you. I only have one sister, who is ten years older than me." Zhu Yin said with a smile. They both looked at Qiu Shuzhen again. Qiu Shuzhen was very embarrassed and whispered: "I have seven children in my family, and I am the fifth." "Wow! Seven???" Zhu Yin's family owns a bakery, and Yuan Jieying's family is in business, and the conditions are even better. She has been neglected since she was a child, and she is extremely rebellious. She just put the meat over and said: "Here you eat!" "I do not want!" Qiu Shuzhen felt a little hurt, so she took it back again. "You can eat if I tell you to!" "Why do I have to eat when you let me?" "Your family is poor!" "you!" Qiu Shuzhen stared, feeling insulted. Yuan Jieying didn't even know how to explain, so she stared back. Zhu Yin was very scared when she was caught in the middle. She trembled and advised: "Don't fight. If you don't fight well, the teacher is watching." "Hmph! Don't argue with children!" "You are also a child, what qualifications do you have to criticize me?" "I'm one year older than you! And let me tell you, I will definitely be the one chosen in the end. You see, most of the attention of Teacher Chen and Director Xu is on me!" Qiu Shuzhen became proud again, and Yuan Jieying threw her chopsticks angrily and left.
Akane continued to shiver. "The little girls are just full of energy. It's great to be young!" Upstairs, Chen Qi cast an emotional look and turned around and said: "I prefer Qiu Shuzhen. Yuan Jieying doesn't match her in all aspects, but she is very suitable to play a classmate. She bullied her in the play and was pushed downstairs by her. Akane is too young to have that feeling, so she can still be considered a classmate. " "Okay, I have the same idea." Tsui Hark nodded. He was working part-time and didn't have to devote himself to it, but he wanted to devote himself to it because he was responsible for the movie. Fortunately, Chen Qi's ideas were mostly consistent with his own, and many disputes were avoided. … "Fifth sister!" "Sister is back!" "We are so hungry, we need to eat!" In the afternoon, Qiu Shuzhen, who was rushing home by car, was surrounded by two younger siblings who had stayed behind as soon as she entered the door. She raised her lunch box high and said, "Okay, okay, don't make any noise, I'm back with food!" She put the food she packed from the canteen on the table. Her siblings cheered and started cooking. She washed her face and lay a little tired on the small bed. The bed was only one meter wide and more than one meter long, barely enough for one person to sleep on. My parents are both migrant workers, and nine people used to live in one house. Everyone knows how tight housing is in Hong Kong. It's better now, my two brothers and sisters got married and moved out, but it's still very crowded. Qiu Shuzhen is not stupid. She can tell that Teacher Chen pays attention to her. If she can be selected, she can start filming. I heard that filming is very profitable. Then buy some beautiful clothes, some gifts for your parents, and some delicious food for your brothers and sisters... She sat up quickly, full of strength and fighting spirit. Although Teacher Chen valued herself, she had to work hard. She looked in the mirror at home and began to review the morning lessons over and over again. "The legs should be placed on the sofa, together, and the head tilted..." She remembered all the key points that Chen Qi said. There was no sofa, so she moved two chairs and did exercises that looked funny to outsiders. "Fifth sister, what are you doing?" "Are you crazy?" "I am fighting for our family, cleaning the house after dinner, and knowing how to eat every day!" Qiu Shuzhen cursed and continued practicing. ………… After training like this, within a week, on the fourth day, the two little girls who accompanied the runners were eliminated. Chen Qi, Fu Qi, and Tsui Hark all agreed that Qiu Shuzhen could play the role. On the fifth day, the course ends. Qiu Shuzhen's parents were called over and walked into the office uneasily. Fu Qi and Chen Qi were both there. Fu Qi smiled and shook hands with them, and said: "Mr. Qiu, Mrs. Qiu, your daughter has been officially selected to join the crew of "Orphans" to star as the heroine. I will discuss the contract with you today."
"Really?" "Thank you! Thank you for your attention!" The two of them quickly thanked her, and their mother couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Fu, how much can A-Zhen get as the heroine?" "Five thousand yuan!" Fu Qi said nothing nonsense. When they heard that it was five thousand yuan, their parents were happy, but then they frowned. The current labor force in Hong Kong is already very high. The salary-earning class can earn about 2,000 Hong Kong dollars per month, and 5,000 Hong Kong dollars is not more than their monthly salary. "Mr. Fu, is it a little less? I heard that the salary for making movies is very high, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands!" "Does Brigitte Lin know?" "I know! I know!" "She is a big star in Taiwan, but the price quoted for a movie in Hong Kong is only 250,000 yuan. The remuneration for actresses has always been low. A-Zhen is still a child and has no experience. We also have to pay for training costs, so how much do you want? " "this……" The parents hesitated, paused, and then said with an apologetic smile: "But five thousand yuan is indeed too little. Both of us can earn it by working for a month." After grumbling for a long time, Fu Qi said, "Okay, okay, fifteen thousand yuan, don't talk anymore, or I'll replace you!" "Okay, fifteen thousand yuan is fine!" "Thank you Mr. Fu!" Qiu Shuzhen was also present and listened to the whole process. She did not feel like she was being sold at all. Instead, she was happy to be able to make money for her family, and her face turned red with excitement. "Don't be too hasty to thank us, we have an additional clause..." Fu Qi signaled to Chen Qi, who walked over and said with a smile: "Azhen, let's go out for a walk, your parents have other things to talk about." "oh!" Qiu Shuzhen stood up obediently and followed him out.
