A great director who grew up happily

Chapter 210 The birth point has been refreshed

The chaotic situation came to an end only when a loud door slammed shut was heard from the phone.

Chen Jinnian placed a pillow behind his waist to make himself more comfortable. After the buzzing noise of quarreling died down, he yawned and asked, "Ha~, Lin Miaomiao, are you still there?"

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, I'm coming downstairs."

Lin Miaomiao stood at the stairs, tilting her head and holding the phone while talking to Chen Jinnian. At the same time, she bent over, hooked the upper of her sneakers with her hands, and tried hard to squeeze her feet into them.

After putting on her clothes, she picked up her cell phone, stomped her feet twice, and ran and jumped down the stairs.

Her father, Lin Dawei, opened the door and saw his daughter had disappeared. He quickly shouted into the empty corridor, "Miao Miao, don't run around. Remember to come home for lunch."

"Oh~, I know." Lin Miaomiao's voice came slowly from downstairs. Judging from the noise, she had already run out of two floors.

After running downstairs, she took out her phone and asked, "Chen Jinnian, did you not even recognize my voice?"

"Sorry, sorry, I slept too late last night and haven't woken up yet. By the way, what did you want to talk to me about just now?" Chen Jinnian asked.

"I want to be an extra. I can't stand staying in this house for a single day. I have to help my mom look after the baby and change diapers every day, and then I have to be despised every day."

Lin Miaomiao didn't know what kind of injustice she had suffered. When she mentioned this, she started to complain to Chen Jinnian. She talked so much that no one could respond and she kept nagging.

Chen Jinnian was already sleepy, and after she kept talking on and on, he fell asleep again with his head tilted back without realizing it.

"Chen Jinnian? Chen Jinnian~, Chen Jinnian!"

Three consecutive roars made his body twitch involuntarily. Then he remembered that he was still on the phone, so he quickly wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth.

"There are quite a few extras, but because the shots require it, they have to stay with the crew the entire time and are not allowed to quit midway."

Chen Jinnian was referring to the other students in Class 3 in the movie. They were the fixed background boards and would be captured in many shots, so fixed personnel were needed to be selected.

"What? There's a camera. Can it capture my face?" Lin Miaomiao asked excitedly.

"Of course I can, but don't you need to go to class? The crew needs you to stay with the group until at least March 13th. You must have started school by then," Chen Jinnian asked.

"Xiaoqi told me about these things. There is no problem with the time." Lin Miaomiao said, patting her chest. Because she patted her chest too hard, she got a stitch in the side and kept coughing.

Chen Jin was amused by the other party. "Okay, then come on over. Food and lodging are provided. One hundred yuan a day."

"Yeah, I finally don't have to suffer at home." After celebrating, Lin Miaomiao didn't put down the phone, but continued to ask: "Do you need a lot of extras? I want to bring my friends too."

"How many friends do you have?"

“How many extras do you have?”

After asking quickly, the two fell into a strange silence. Chen Jinnian felt that Lin Miaomiao was not here to be an extra, but rather to seize power.

A few seconds later, he spoke first and tentatively gave a number, "Twenty"

"Twenty, why is it so few?" Lin Miaomiao muttered softly.

When Chen Jinnian heard this, he was done. This little girl didn't come for the extras at all, she was clearly coming for him. She was trying to undermine him as the director.

So he quickly added, "I need a mix of men and women, both with a well-proportioned figure and a moderate height. They can't have tattoos, eyebrow tattoos, hair dye, perms, plastic surgery, or manicures..."

"Ah, why so many requirements?" Lin Miaomiao asked in confusion.

"I'm filming high school students. I'm doing what your homeroom teacher and dean asked me to do."

"Oh, I forgot." Lin Miaomiao suddenly realized. He checked the time on his phone and continued, "No problem. Wait, I'll gather everyone by 3 pm. Bye."

"Hey, hey." Chen Jinnian shouted twice in confusion, and then he realized that Lin Miaomiao had actually hung up the phone on him before he could finish his words.

At this time, Lin Miaomiao in Jiangzhou started sending messages to her friends after hanging up the phone, especially the class groups, college groups and various club groups she joined in college. Before long, dozens of people contacted her.

Everyone is the same. After only a few days at home, they have already started a fierce battle with their parents, which is comparable to the bombardment of Ping'an County. They quarrel three times a day, and each time is different.

Only then did everyone understand that the "yu" in "three days' return home more than enough" actually meant "extra yu".

On the first day, I ate whatever the dog at home ate.

On the third day, I ate whatever the dog ate at home.

Faced with the cold reality, I had long been thinking about going out and finding some work. Now that I saw Lin Miaomiao was recruiting extras, providing food and accommodation and money, I naturally signed up enthusiastically, fearing that I would be left behind.

So just one hour later, Chen Jinnian received more than 20 photos sent by Lin Miaomiao, all of which were carefully selected by the other party.

His work efficiency is much faster than that of the crew's casting director. Those guys worked for a week but couldn't find many suitable ones. Of course, it may also be related to the fact that the Chinese New Year is approaching and the number of extras has decreased.

Chen Jinnian didn't pick anyone out of the bunch. He just waved his hand and asked Lin Miaomiao to notify them to report to the crew after the New Year. If he had known that Lin Miaomiao was so capable, he would have directly given her the position of casting director.

"What? Falsehood? Lin Miaomiao is my brother, my beloved family and friend. I won't allow her to be slandered like this." (Chen Jinnian's mumbling)

He then called Lao Cui and asked him to evacuate the crew from the hotel today. In response to the other party's questions, he directly said, "Casting, what role to choose, I have already arranged it, you can just take a holiday where you are."

Then he made several calls to other groups, especially the set design team in Langfang. The location was introduced by Principal Tang, but many basic facilities still needed to be cleaned and renovated.

Especially the installation of heating facilities. He will be shooting a summer scene in early March, so he still needs to pay attention to this aspect.

After seeing her son finish several phone calls in a row, his mother Su Ying asked, "Son, are you going out to do anything else today?"

"Yeah, it shouldn't be anything important." Chen Jinnian shook his head. Professional matters should be left to professionals. If he went there, he would just be giving blind orders and wasting time.

"That's perfect. You can go to the hospital and accompany Yingzi. By the way, wait for your Aunt Song to finish the examination before sending them back." Su Ying said with some disdain: "Qiao Weidong is really unreliable."

"Hospital, okay, I'll be there right away." He knew what was going on as soon as he heard it. He had talked about this with Qiao Yingzi before the holiday, so after receiving the news, he didn't dare to waste time and drove directly to Peking University Sixth Hospital.

But he had never been here before. He walked around the hospital several times but couldn't find the psychiatric department. He found the toilet first.

"I'm really impressed. Who put up the guide sign?"

He picked up the phone and gave it to Qiao Yingzi, then turned around casually and saw Zhang Wei coming out with his head down, straightening his clothes.

Chen Jinnian opened his mouth slightly, lowered his jaw slightly, looked up at the toilet sign, and then looked down at Zhang Wei's face.

"Oh my god! The bathroom is really the birthplace of resurrection."
