Lin Nan never thought that one day she would really get into this industry.

Looking back at the entrance of Beidian, I wiped my eyes and let my thoughts drift into the distance.

Remember when I was with that girlfriend who hung out with the wrong crowd, an eighteen-liner actress, who gave me a disease that's hard to talk about.

He, who was originally running a hotel in Hengdian, sold his house and car, emptied his family assets, and eventually died.

Having only heard about the chaos of this circle of older, unmarried men but never experienced it firsthand, Lin Nan was controlled and ultimately destroyed.

Only the father, now with white hair, was left to send his son home, a young man who had gone away.

When consciousness returned, 16-year-old Lin Nan made the decisive decision to take the art exam.

This circle, he Lin Nan also went through it once, to see how bone-chilling and soul-crushing it is.

The first year's art exam failed, only because the cultural courses were too weak, and time was tight. After all, in a second life, who would remember those things? Rushed onto the stage, the total score was less than 200.

I went back to study hard for a year. During that time, I repeatedly pondered the memories in my mind and some major events I vaguely remembered. I made a simple plan for the future.

For example, first, obey the law, second, still obey the law, third, if you have money and want to buy a house, don't go to Chaoyang District.

After stumbling and fumbling my way through it, thanks to a pretty good face, I managed to get into the performance program.

Eighteen-year-old Lin Nan became a member of the 02nd class.

He took out a cigarette and put it in his lips, about to light it, but Lin Nan extinguished the fire again. He decided to quit.

I promised my father that I would quit smoking once I went to college.

Hurriedly walked to the security booth at the school gate, "Brother, this is for you, I quit." Before he could refuse, he shoved it into the other party's hand and Lin Nan quickly ran away.

"Oh..."

The security guard smiled wryly, didn't this kid just go out?

It is the National Day holiday period now, and it has been one month since school started.

Lin Nan didn't go back home, she was planning to explore the capital.

In my past life in Hengdian, because the two of us ran a hotel, I've also met quite a few big-name celebrities.

But at such close proximity, this was the first time in two lifetimes.

Those days of the art exam didn't count.

On the first day of school, he saw Wang Ludan, who was already a sophomore, Nailang with his haircut, Dong Xuan, a junior, Hong Shixian and Yao Dazui, seniors...

as well as several of Lin Nan's classmates, the Three Goddesses from "The Legend of the Lotus Lantern", and Zhu Chuanwu from "Crossing East".

These are the few stars Lin Nan knew from watching TV in his past life.

...a glimpse of an ethereal beauty, I only saw her those few days at the start of school.

This year should be the filming of Jin Fen Shi Jia, and also Heavenly Dragon Eight Parts. A perfect start!

All of these people are still so rosy now. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

At the end of the year, Zhang Guo Shi's Hero will also be released. Let's go watch it when it comes out.

I felt in my pocket, this month's living expenses just came in, one thousand five.

His father used to be a squad leader in the army's mess hall, making delicious food. After retiring from the military, he opened a restaurant in his hometown in the northwest and easily supported himself and his son.

"Xiaozi, what are you daydreaming about here?"

Zhu Yiwu patted Lin Nan, this guy is a good personality and talkative.

Wouldn't it be nice to take a stroll around the capital? You're free, aren't you, Lao Zhu?

Lin Nan sarcastically remarked, "You guys call me 'Xiao Lin' all the time. I don't even practice exorcism swordsmanship."

“Why don't we go together? I guess there aren't many of us in our class who are free. It's just the beginning of the school year, and everyone is busy visiting film sets like they have appointments.”

"Yes, they are all very positive."

Lin Nan thought of that fairy-like woman. This year, she had two masterpieces to be born, and her career was flourishing for over twenty years.

When Lin Nan was critically ill, the nurses at the hospital were still discussing Dream of the Red Chamber.

The two of them were shoulder to shoulder, ready to visit the Forbidden City.

This is a simple example of how to use HTML tags.

During the National Day holiday, the Forbidden City is always crowded, whether it's twenty years from now or today.

A guide led the tour, explaining that the last emperor was filmed on location here.

Lin Nan and Zhu Yawan watched this movie just a few days ago at school.

>

Without mentioning how many awards this movie won, just the male lead's face, it deserves an award.

Moreover, the filming actually took place in the real palace.

Lin Nan remembered that Lao Zhu's dormitory had a poster of the dragon.

"Tsk tsk tsk, filming a movie here must be so cool." Lao Zhu walked around while sighing.

"Linzi, when will we be able to film?"

Lin Nan was stumped.

Given their situation, and not being child stars, only having started acting this year, it's doubtful they could perform well. They need at least another year to develop some experience.

There were quite a few students in the class who had entered school later than others, but not these two.

"Tian Long Ba Bu just started filming not long ago, you can try it out and see if there are any suitable extras roles. Your school's reputation still comes in handy." Lin Nan gave a suggestion.

“I wouldn’t go, a classmate of mine is Wang Yuyan. I'm just going to be an extra, it would be too embarrassing.” Lao Zhu still cares about his image.

"Don't tell me you have an idea?" Yiwu classmate countered.

“I have some ideas. I'm still relying on my dad for living expenses, but I got into film school after all. I can't keep being a burden,” Lin Nan said cheerfully.

Zhu Yiwu held up a thumb, "Brother, you're aware, I support you."

"Why don't you treat me to lunch today?"

"You said you wouldn't rely on your parents anymore."

"Get lost."

At noon, the two of them found an alley and ordered two portions of braised noodles with soup. The prices were still reasonable at that time.

That's douzhi, it's really not something a person should drink, it's just plain disgusting.

After finishing their meal, the two walked towards the academy. They really couldn't think of anywhere else to go.

"Linzi, if you really want to find acting opportunities, why not ask the teacher? Our school is much better than theirs. As long as it's legitimate filming, we give fake ones easily."

"Don't worry, don't worry, just wait until my brother makes it big. I'll definitely take you with me." Lin Nan patted his chest confidently.

"I'm waiting."

The performance arts program isn't very extensive, nowhere near as much as other universities.

But there are also various analyses of famous works, histories of Chinese and foreign films, courses on physical performance, psychology, philosophy, etc.

Lin Nan felt it was okay, after all, it had only been a month since school started. He could first focus on laying a solid foundation and strive to improve his business skills. He wouldn't say he would be top-ranked in the future, but at least he could show something impressive.

The academy is already buzzing about the latest heroes. As a breeding ground for film and television talent, students and faculty here get a sneak peek at all the new blockbusters before anyone else.

Although it's National Day, there are still quite a few people at school.

Now, it's not like later when there were film crews everywhere. Besides a small number of students who could join the crew on campus, most people were just extras.

It's just a little bit better than an actual extra.

Zhu Yafen went back to the dormitory, leaving only Lin Nan strolling around school.

There are so many beautiful young ladies, none of them are bad.

“That’s totally unbelievable, you’re going to film on a mine… ”

"...I heard they didn't prepare for a theatrical release, what do you think..."

A few senior brothers walked past from Lin Nan's side, talking about something in their mouths, like discussing a film shoot.

"On top of the mountain? Not thinking about a public screening?" Lin Nan's mind seemed to have been touched by something.

In 2002, the movie on the mine? Wouldn't it be Blind Shaft?

Lin Nan hurried to catch up, "Master brother, master brother, what movie were you just talking about, mine on something?"

Two fellow disciples whom Lin Nan had no impression of, this just stopped.

"He didn't even have a name yet, just a documentary director who made a script and wanted to find people to film it. He came to our school looking for people, promising everything but delivering nothing. He even went to some homeroom teachers."

The two senior brothers didn't say a few words before they left.

Lin Nan probably guessed it, wasn't he just a documentary director!

Baoqiang actually won the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer through this film.

>

If it were students from a different academic background, things would be much more interesting. They would start at a higher level. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

After thinking about it, Lin Nan could only remember this one. In the end, he still chose Baoqiang from a large wave of extras.

"Want to give it a try?"

This idea lingered in my mind, refusing to disappear.

Here's the translation:"Cheers!"

Lin Nan decided to try out for the role.

When Lin Nan found his old headmaster, he didn't see the so-called director.

"Teacher Zhou, I heard they are looking for people to act in a film?"

"It's Lin Nan, Director Li has already left. If you chase now, you might still be able to see him at the school gate. Oh, why are you running?"

Before I could finish my sentence, the student in front of me ran off without a trace.

The first-time female teacher in charge could only smile and sit down.

Two people walked out of the school gate.

"If you really can't find anyone, just look in the extras pool, the requirements aren't that high anyway."

A man in his forties said to the person beside him with a helpless expression.

"Is that Director Li?"

Lin Nan was running a bit hastily, but it should be the person right in front of him.

A middle-aged man and his assistant turned around, "Student, are you calling us?"

“Hello, Director Li, my name is Lin Nan, a freshman from the Class of 2002. I heard you're looking for people for your project, so I wanted to give it a try.”

Lin Nan finished speaking in one breath, then took a big gulp of air.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The middle-aged man looked at his assistant, then at Lin Nan, "Let's go over there and find a place to sit and talk. This morning, all the students who heard about the crew's conditions refused. Several of your teachers are not optimistic about this either. Why did you come chasing after it?"

Lin Nan's heart was pounding. He couldn't just say, "I think you're great, and I want to compete for the Best Newcomer Award."

Three people walked for a while and found a small shop with a private room.

"I mainly want to gain experience. I heard it's filmed on a mine, and I'm familiar with that from childhood."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

Lin Nan could only resort to his killing move.

"Familiar"? Director Li questions.

"I come from the northwest region, and we have many small coal mines there. If the director hasn't decided on a location yet, I could be of help."

Lin Nan was a little nervous, but it was an excited kind of nervousness.

As expected, director Li's eyes lit up across the way.

Finding a suitable abandoned mine for the production wasn't difficult, but during filming, they definitely needed local help. Luckily, they had someone who knew the area well; it wouldn't be troublesome and he happened to be from the northwest as well.

"If you're short on funding, I might be able to help a little." Lin Nan looked at the director who was deep in thought, revealing his last card.

The assistant next to him nudged the director, clearly moved.
