Chapter 476 476. New World
There is a reason why the boy chose so happily. Although the prize money of "Come on! Good Man" is as high as 5 million, it is illusory. He feels that the chance he can get it is very small. Compared with this opportunity in front of him, it is very practical. Acting is paid after all, isn't it?
As for how honored it is to be chosen by Nie Wei, he is still vague about this concept. He just wants to find a job for himself so that he can contribute to his family.
Thinking about it, the boy fell asleep. When he woke up again, there were less than ten minutes left to Kyoto. He slept for more than two hours. However, such a long sleep also greatly relieved his fatigue from riding the train.
Rubbing his sleepy eyes, the boy's first feeling was that he was very hungry. He actually ate a lot during the one-day and one-night trip, including bread, sausages, and instant noodles. His grandmother prepared them for him because she was afraid that he would be hungry on the road. However, a boy of his age was the most hungry. The food his grandmother bought for him was eaten up halfway through the journey, and the food on the train was too expensive, so he drank the free hot water on the train for the second half of the journey.
Now that they finally arrived at the station, his first thought was to have a full meal and reward his stomach, but he didn't know whether the prices of restaurants in Kyoto were expensive.
The train arrived at the station soon. He picked up his two large boxes filled with essential supplies and clothes, and carried his empty schoolbag on his back. The boy got off the train and walked towards the exit with a confused look on his face as he followed the people who got off the train.
"The train station in Kyoto is so big."
"Where is the person who will pick me up?"
"I wonder if Huayi will take care of my meals."
"Will I go to the wrong exit and miss the staff who will pick me up?"
During the short journey, he was worried about many things. It was the first time for him to come to such a strange big city alone. He felt confused, nervous and out of place. This feeling made him feel that he did not belong here. He was just an outsider who had entered this environment without thinking.
All kinds of thoughts made the boy unconsciously think of many negative things. The most terrifying thing was the scene of missing the staff who would pick him up and getting lost in the big city alone.
"If I get lost, I have to find the police uncle, but will I really be so unlucky?" When the boy was thinking about it, he suddenly looked up and saw a staff member holding a sign with his name on it. At that moment, he felt like he saw a relative.
All the burdens in his heart were instantly put down at this moment. As a slow-moving person, he was so excited that he even forgot what strangeness was and immediately waved to the man happily.
In fact, the staff member could recognize the boy even without him saying hello. In just two days, his name was spread all over the company. It was rumored that a talent show artist who had not yet officially entered the talent show stage was chosen by Nie Wei and became the third male in the new TV series he wrote and produced. This rumor made many male artists in the company jealous, and many people sighed that this boy was really lucky.
"Jing Boran, right?" The staff member looked at the boy who walked in, took out the photo on his mobile phone to compare, and then confirmed it with the boy.
"You are from Huayi Company, right? I am Jing Boran. Someone from your company called me two days ago." Jing Boran replied.
Since the identity was confirmed, the staff member also put away the sign. Seeing Jing Boran carrying two large boxes, he took the initiative to help and said, "I'll help you carry one."
"No, no, my box is a bit heavy, I can carry it myself."
"It's okay, the company specially sent a car to pick you up today, just outside the station." The staff member was very enthusiastic, and Jing Boran finally couldn't resist the other party and handed over a large box. As a result, the staff member almost sprained his waist when he took it.
"Wow, it's really heavy. What are you packing here?" The staff member steadied himself and walked out of the station while talking.
"Some books and some clothes to change." Jing Boran replied a little embarrassedly.
"By the way, you are still in school. I would have forgotten about it if you hadn't mentioned the books, but I guess you are going to take a leave of absence this time." The staff nodded and smiled, which made Jing Boran a little confused. He asked, "Why do you want to take a leave of absence?"
The staff looked at him in surprise when he heard this. Seeing that he was really confused, he explained, "You must be famous for starring in the TV series written by Nie Wei. The company will definitely arrange a lot of work for you while you are famous. How can you have time to go to class?"
After listening to the staff's words, Jing Boran was still confused, because that kind of scene was something he had never imagined.
The two worked together to move the two large boxes out of the station. The staff asked Jing Boran to wait at the station gate for a while, and he was going to get the car.
Seeing the staff go away, Jing Boran, who was standing at the station gate, looked at everything unfamiliar in front of him. The feeling of "loneliness" unconsciously climbed up his heart again, but perhaps it was the staff's words just now that made him look forward to it.
Five minutes later, the staff drove back in a nanny car.
It was the first time that Jing Boran saw this kind of luxurious car that celebrities rode in, which he had only seen on TV in the past. When the door opened, he could see a glimpse of the interior, which made the big boy feel that it was extremely luxurious. At least the cars he had ridden in were not as luxurious as this one.
The staff over there was busy helping Jing Boran pack his luggage. When they saw the young man looking at the car with curiosity, they smiled and said, "Do you know whose car this is?"
"Whose?" This question brought Jing Boran back to his senses and he asked subconsciously. However, when he saw the staff moving boxes, he immediately rushed over and said embarrassedly, "Sorry, sorry, I was distracted. I'll move this."
"It's okay, just two boxes." The staff wiped the non-existent sweat on his head and replied with a smile. The boy's polite attitude made all the resentment in his heart disappear. What's more, this is the person who is about to participate in Nie Wei's TV series, and the role is quite important. Maybe he is the next person to be promoted by Huayi.
This potential stock, the staff member naturally has to take good care of it, and try to leave a good impression in the eyes of the other party. If the other party becomes famous in the future, not to mention promoting himself, it is enough to brag about it. This is why the staff member is so enthusiastic about Jing Boran. If it were another newcomer, the staff member would definitely not be so enthusiastic.
Jing Boran didn't know what the other party was thinking, but he just felt that this big brother was very enthusiastic, and he was a little ashamed of being distracted and lazy.
At this time, many people around the car had noticed this nanny car. Some young men and girls even recognized that this was a nanny car for celebrities, and they were all discussing which celebrity came to the train station.
And Jing Boran, who has a delicate face, was naturally mistaken for a celebrity by many people.
"Who is this? He looks pretty good, but I don't remember him."
"He's probably a star, but maybe not famous?"
"Of course he is. Stars all ride in nanny cars like this. Private cars rarely have such cars."
"Wow, should I go up and ask for an autograph? But I can't remember who he is."
A lot of whispers around him reached Jing Bairan's ears, making him blush. He's not a big star, and the car isn't his, he just borrowed it. Oh, that guy hasn't told me who the car belongs to.
Just when Jing Bairan's train of thought was about to go off track again, a girl wearing glasses who looked about fifteen or sixteen suddenly ran up to Jing Bairan and handed him a pen and a notebook.
"Hello, can you sign for me?" the girl asked shyly.
Jing Bairan looked blankly at the notebook and pen that the girl had stuffed into his hands. He was stunned for a moment, obviously shocked by the girl's sudden attack. When he came to his senses again, he hurriedly waved his hands and explained: "Sorry, I'm not a star."
"Don't lie to me, don't stars ride in such a nanny car?" The girl thought Jing Bairan was perfunctory and immediately retorted.
"I'm really not a star. I just arrived in Kyoto today."
"Then what are you doing in Kyoto?"
"Filming."
"You still say you're not a star, aren't those who film stars? Don't be discouraged. I know you may feel that you are not popular and embarrassed to say it. It doesn't matter. I support you. Please sign for me." The girl felt that she had grasped the other party's thoughts and comforted Jing Bairan in return.
Jing Bairan looked helpless and had to write his name in the notebook.
"Your handwriting is pretty good, Jing Boran, right? I'll remember you." The girl looked at the name on the notebook, but she didn't have any impression in her mind, but it didn't affect her good mood. After all, it was a celebrity's signature. She could look up the information later and show off in class.
The girl's success seemed to give some courage to the people who were interested, but before they made a decision, Jing Boran had already got on the nanny car and slowly left the train station, leaving behind a sigh of regret.
"Little brother, does it feel good to be asked for an autograph?" As the car started, the staff sitting in the front did not forget to chat with Jing Boran behind him.
Jing Boran's eyes were confused, and he didn't know whether to nod or shake his head. He found that since he set foot on this land, many things were different from his previous life. The common sense accumulated in the past was not useful here. Obviously, he would face a different world in the future.
"Brother, you haven't told me whose nanny car this is." Jing Boran asked, and the staff obviously didn't expect that this kid still remembered this.
"Let me tell you, this is Nie Wei's nanny car!" The staff member replied with a proud look on his face.
"Nie Wei!?" Jing Boran's eyes widened slightly. During this period, the name he heard the most was Nie Wei. What he didn't expect was that he would sit in the nanny car of that big star. This made him feel like he was living in a dream. No, even in his dreams, he didn't expect to sit in Nie Wei's nanny car.
Through the rearview mirror, the staff member saw Jing Boran's surprised expression, which made him very satisfied. This is how a newcomer should be. The silly boy's previous appearance of being ignorant of everything made people feel very boring.
"I didn't lie to you. This is really Nie Wei's nanny car, but he eliminated it. It was also the nanny car he used at first. This time the company sent this car to pick you up, and it also hopes that you can become a big star in the future like Nie Wei."
"Can you become a big star by sitting in Nie Wei's nanny car?" Perhaps because the staff was very enthusiastic, Jing Boran was also a little relaxed, and at this time he even made a small joke.
"No matter how long you sit in Nie Wei's nanny car, you can only become a driver like me. But if you shoot a TV series written by Nie Wei, you may become a big star." The driver laughed at Jing Boran's silly question, but he didn't forget to answer. In his opinion, the luck of this silly boy is really good. His debut is a TV series written by Nie Wei. This luck is unmatched.
The nanny car drove all the way to a five-star hotel. Jing Boran looked at the towering building, walked in and saw the magnificent hotel lobby and the elegant and sweet-voiced front desk lady. His mouth was open for a long time.
This was his first time staying in a five-star hotel. When he got off the car, a staff member took him to the wrong place. In his original thought, Huayi could provide him with a clean small hotel, which was good enough, but he never thought that he would live in a five-star hotel.
At this moment, he was really shocked by Huayi's generosity.
Of course, Huayi only opened a common room for him in a five-star hotel, but this was completely beyond Jing Boran's expectations. After walking into the room with the room card, Jing Boran felt like he had just gotten into the nanny car. It was difficult for him to focus on one place, and everything he saw was strange.
"Will I live here when I shoot in the future?" Jing Boran took five minutes to collect his gaze, and then he immediately found the staff member who brought him here and asked.
The staff member shook his head and replied, "Just live here temporarily. You will live with the crew after you join the crew."
"So that's it." After hearing the answer, Jing Boran felt a little disappointed, but he quickly adjusted his mentality. It was also a good deal to stay in such a room for one more day.
"Pack your luggage first, I'll make a phone call." The staff member patted Jing Boran on the shoulder, gave him a word, and walked out of the room. Jing Boran sat on the soft mattress, still with an excited smile on his face, feeling that all this was incredible.
In the end, it was the long rumbling of his stomach that brought him back to reality from his excitement.
"I'm so hungry. I'll ask my brother where I can get something to eat." Jing Boran tilted his head and looked outside the door. The staff hadn't come back yet, so he didn't dare to go out to find something to eat.
Fortunately, the staff came back soon. Just when Jing Boran was about to ask where he could get food, the staff first said to Jing Boran: "Young man, change your clothes. The main creators of your crew are having a dinner party. Nie Wei asked me to take you over."
Thanks to Yongheng Shenqiang, 0773 for their generous reward.
