Chapter 501: What Liu Haocun Saw (Part )
"Wow, this place is so big!"
In Studio No. 1 of Galaxy Film City, Kim Sae-ron and Liu Haocun, who had separated from the main group, secretly opened the door of a room with a "VIP" sign on it and slipped in.
"Is this the lounge that only the protagonist can have?"
Kim Sae-ron looked at everything in the room and couldn't help but ask questions.
As the VIP lounge of Studio No. 1, it covers an area of about 20 square meters, including a small reception room, a dressing room, a bedroom and a sanitary shower room.
Of course, the large area alone is not enough to reflect its VIP status. In this lounge, everything from the decoration to the furniture is incomparable to other lounges.
The leather sofa against the wall in the small living room, the soft carpet, the TV, the drinks and snacks on the corner table, the high-end Simmons single bed in the bedroom, the bedding that was changed by someone, and the bathroom...
Kim Sae-ron was a child star and had some experience. She knew at a glance that the faucet alone would probably cost 600,000 or 700,000 won.
"I want a room like this when I'm filming in the future!"
Liu Haocun walked around the room, looked left and right, and couldn't help but speak out.
The room was obviously not big, but she seemed to have seen flowers in it.
Kim Sae-ron was more reserved than her. Although she thought the same thing in her heart, she did not say it out loud.
But before the two of them could sit down on the large and soft sofa and enjoy themselves, the door of the VIP lounge was suddenly opened from the outside with a "click".
The sudden noise startled both girls, and their butts quickly bounced up from the sofa.
After all, when we were touring the studio just now, the teacher told us not to run around anywhere.
Moreover, the tour guide also said that the filming work of "The Great Wall" crew in this studio has not yet been completed. It's just that because they have to dismantle the set today, and there are still scenes being filmed in other places, this place is vacant for half a day, which is just right for them to visit.
It was also because of this that the VIP lounge, which should have been locked, was allowed to be sneaked in by two little girls.
But whether it is the staff or actors of "The Great Wall" crew, they may return here halfway. After all, Liu Haocun and her friends just saw some personal belongings in the bedroom.
So the two people who sneaked in were still a little nervous. Fortunately, the second time the people came were not the owner of the room or the staff, but two girls of the same age as them.
"Why are you here?!"
"Why are you here?!"
Both sides shouted almost at the same time. Liu Haocun looked across and realized that the person who scared her was not someone else, but Zhang Jingyi, who had just made a small splash in the museum.
Looking at this girl whose face actually didn't look very aggressive, Liu Haocun felt a little uncomfortable for some reason.
Zhang Jingyi was also shocked when she saw Liu Haocun and Kim Sae-ron in the room.
She also pulled Hamabe Minami away from the main group and secretly wandered around the studio, and unknowingly came to this VIP lounge.
Although she knew it was not good to enter the room without permission, Zhang Jingyi also had a theory to convince herself. After all, they were all going to be actors in the future, and maybe they would have the opportunity to come here in the future. This time she was just exploring the way in advance.
But she really didn't expect that someone had already arrived there before them.
"You are not allowed to come in here casually. There is a 'No Trespassing' sign on the door. Didn't you see it? What are you doing in there?"
Zhang Jingyi was the first to ask, and she was quite confident.
Liu Haocun didn't care much about her accusations. She folded her arms across her chest and pouted.
"Why, if it's 'No Entry', how did the 'Deputy' monitor get in?"
There is only one monitor in their training class, so where does the deputy monitor come from? The reason why Liu Haocun called Zhang Jingyi like this is just because she looks well-behaved and often helps the teacher and the monitor, so she gave her a nickname.
"Besides, we were just looking around, we weren't doing anything bad. You can go to the teacher and report me."
Zhang Jingyi was so annoyed by Liu Haocun that her eyebrows were raised. At this time, Jin Sae-ron, who was standing next to Liu Haocun, also interrupted in stiff Chinese:
"We... just want to observe the working environment of our predecessors."
"But you can't enter here without permission." Hamabe Minami naturally stood on the side of her good friend and spoke for Zhang Jingyi.
The four girls split into two sides, and the spacious VIP lounge was filled with tension for a while.
However, the reality was that they did not have time to detonate the gunpowder. Just as the two sides were confronting each other over whether they could enter the lounge, the crisp sound of the handle of the door of the room behind Zhang Jingyi turning was heard again.
The four people in the room immediately lost the will to continue arguing. They all held their breath, turned their heads with wide eyes, and looked at the door in horror.
Liu Haocun still had some hope in his heart at this moment. After all, it was the same thing just now, and it was Zhang Jingyi who walked in.
However, when the door opened, her heart sank to the bottom of the valley, falling into a deep pool, because the person who opened the door was not her familiar classmate, but a tall foreigner and his Chinese assistant following him.
"who are you?"
When the foreigners saw four young girls suddenly appear in their lounge, they could not believe their eyes. They looked up at the doorplate above their heads, and then immediately looked around and the room cautiously, fearing that reporters and paparazzi would suddenly jump out and take pictures of the scene.
After all, he came from a place like Hollywood. As an actor, this foreigner had seen a lot of situations and subconsciously associated them with some bad things.
In contrast, his Chinese assistant was not very sensitive to this matter. When he saw a stranger in the room, he immediately frowned and looked stern. He shouted at the girls:
"Who are you? What are you doing here?"
The four girls who were caught on the scene panicked immediately. Fortunately, Zhang Jingyi had some quick wits and was more confident. She quickly explained:
"We are students from the Academy of Performing Arts who are visiting the Galaxy Film City. Those two are my classmates. They accidentally got lost. We are looking for them and are planning to invite them to go eat together."
It was indeed close to dinner time, but the assistant was not so easily dismissed, and Zhang Jingyi's excuse was not perfect either. What's more, the four of them were in a bad state of mind, with the word "guilty" written directly on their faces, and there was something wrong at first glance.
So the assistant looked at the four of them suspiciously, then whispered to the foreign actor about the current situation, and then did not move away, but continued to question the four of them.
"Student? Lost? Aren't there house numbers and signs here? Can't you see the 'No Trespassing' sign at the door?
By the way, there are some things in our room..."
As he said this, he was about to check the personal belongings in the bedroom. However, when he moved, Liu Haocun thought that the other party was coming for her. Her mouth pursed, and tears as big as beans rolled down her cheeks from the corners of her eyes like pearls from a broken string.
She started crying as soon as she said she would. This little girl, who had undergone more than ten days of performance training, was indeed quite spiritual. When she cried, her eyes were filled with pear blossoms in the rain, which was really pitiful.
The male assistant didn't expect the little girl to be so easy to talk to. After all, she was still a child and she was pretty. His vigilance and suspicion immediately disappeared and he stood there at a loss. The employer behind him felt embarrassed when he saw his assistant making the little girl cry. After all, although he came to China to film, his Chinese was still good and he didn't understand the specific situation on the scene.
Fortunately, someone came to solve the problem quickly.
"Jack, what's going on?"
The sound came from the other end of the corridor outside the lounge and approached quickly, arriving at the door almost immediately.
"Director! There seems to be a small problem here." A foreign actor named Jake Gyllenhaal said hurriedly when he saw the person coming.
Zhang Jingyi and others in the room also noticed the situation at the door, and they became even more nervous.
Because for those who aspire to be actors or stars, this director is absolutely very familiar to them.
"National Master" Zhang Yimou!
Yes, this studio was the filming location of “The Great Wall”, and the director of “The Great Wall” was none other than Zhang Yimou.
It’s over. I was caught sneaking into someone’s lounge. Will this leave a bad impression on director Zhang Yimou?
This thought popped up in the minds of the four girls, so Liu Haocun cried even more pitifully, Kim Sae-ron and Hamabe Minami were uneasy, and Zhang Jingyi's face showed a complex expression of nervousness, grievance and fear.
Fortunately, after Zhang Yimou appeared, another figure also appeared in their sight. It was Li Xiao, the head teacher of the training class.
"Why are you here? Didn't we tell you not to run around? We were just looking for you, but you guys are missing!"
As soon as Teacher Li Xiao saw the four girls in the lounge, she knew what had happened without having to guess, and she immediately started scolding them.
Even though he made a mistake, he is still my student after all, and I have to protect him.
After she yelled, Zhang Yimou and the foreign actor named Jake Gyllenhaal naturally had nothing to say, but instead advised:
"Forget it, forget it, he's just a kid."
"Yeah, I was a little naughty, it's okay, it's okay..."
"You don't know how worried I am. Can you just barge into this studio? Don't you know that some of the equipment is dangerous? What if something unexpected happens?"
"Teacher Li, calm down. The child has been found."
"If you don't follow the rules now, will you still be like this when you join the crew? Don't even mention you're my student then. You won't be professional at all."
With such a criticism and the persuasion of others, the awkward and tense atmosphere in the lounge was immediately relieved a lot. Jake Gyllenhaal and his assistant naturally did not pursue the matter of these girls breaking into the room.
At this time, Zhang Jingyi and the others finally recognized this middle-aged actor from Hollywood who had starred in "The Day After Tomorrow", "Brokeback Mountain", "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" and "Love and Other Drugs".
After all, they are going to enter the entertainment industry, especially the likes of Kim Sae-ron and Hamabe Minami, who have watched a lot of movies and have seen most of the excellent Hollywood movies, including "Brokeback Mountain" and "Love and Other Drugs", which they will naturally not forget.
So the girls quickly changed their identities and surrounded Jake Gyllenhaal like fans.
The handsome Hollywood guy was very friendly and knew it was just a misunderstanding, so he graciously accepted the girls' invitation to take photos.
The atmosphere in the room now became completely relaxed. Liu Haocun, who was crying the hardest in the corner, finally stopped sobbing. She quickly wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand and a relaxed smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
But the red eyes and nose still added a bit of pity to her pretty face.
Seeing that the incident was over, Teacher Li Xiao apologized and said goodbye to the four girls and Jack and others, and then prepared to meet up with the main group.
But just as they turned around to leave, Zhang Yimou, who had been observing the girls, suddenly called out to stop them.
"and many more."
"Director Zhang, is there anything else?"
Li Xiao quickly turned around and asked, and Zhang Jingyi and others, who had originally let go of their worries, began to worry again.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Yimou pointed at Liu Haocun and asked, "Girl, what's your name?"
Because the four girls were standing together, they looked at each other, then looked at Director Zhang. Finally, Liu Haocun was sure that the other party was referring to her, and she gave her name nervously and apprehensively.
"Director Zhang, my name is... my name is Liu Haocun."
"Liu Haocun," Zhang Yimou nodded, "You look pretty good. My crew just happens to be short of a minor supporting role this afternoon. How about it? Do you have confidence?"
"Me? Want me to act in a movie?"
Liu Haocun widened her eyes, hardly able to believe that happiness would come so suddenly, until Teacher Li patted her shoulder and she nodded vigorously.
"Yes! I do!"
Teacher Li also smiled and said, "Haocun, it's rare that Director Zhang values you. You don't have to participate in the visit this afternoon. Just focus on filming the scene well."
"Okay, I'll give you the assistant director's phone number. It'll be at this studio at 1pm."
The crew of "The Great Wall" was very busy, and director Zhang Yimou had little free time, so he quickly finalized the matter.
She was just a minor supporting role. The "Spark Project" was a project led by the Galaxy Group. He just happened to run into it today, and he particularly liked the girl, so he was willing to give her a chance.
Of course, even a small opportunity is like a gift from heaven for a newcomer like Liu Haocun who has not yet officially entered the entertainment industry. While she was having lunch in the cafeteria of [Oriental Galaxy Film City], her mind was completely focused on the delicious food in front of her.
Although the lunch in the cafeteria was delicious, tasty and healthy, and included her favorite hometown dish, sweet and sour pork, but that was Zhang Yimou!
The sweet and sour sauce is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The taste is just as good as the one at home, but that’s Zhang Yimou!
Well, especially when she noticed that Zhang Jingyi looked at her with envy in her eyes, she couldn't help but smile with her eyebrows curved into two crescents.
That was Zhang Yimou's personal invitation, so I guess I must have some luck on my side.
Hmm. Why doesn’t it count?

"Wow, this place is so big!"
In Studio No. 1 of Galaxy Film City, Kim Sae-ron and Liu Haocun, who had separated from the main group, secretly opened the door of a room with a "VIP" sign on it and slipped in.
