Chapter 427: Two Ordinary Group Performances
Early morning.
It was still dark outside the window.
Xu Zhaoyang opened his eyes that were covered by eye feces in a daze, and squinted sideways at the alarm clock at the bedside.
6:33。
There are still 7 minutes before the alarm goes off, and he doesn't want to crawl out of the warm bed, so he can rely on 7 minutes for 7 minutes.
Last night, in order to complete the homework of the actor training class, he and Liu Pengfei practiced until 1 o'clock in the morning.
This has been going on for a long time.
During the day, you have to mix in various sets and seize every opportunity to act, even if it is playing corpses or background walls, you have to seize them.
At the end of the day, I can't eat well, I don't have much time to rest, and I am so tired that I just want to lie down on the bed and pretend to be a dead dog.
But no.
If you want to be a group performer for a lifetime, it naturally doesn't matter.
But although he and Liu Pengfei are just two ordinary group performances, they both hope to become real actors, can act in a few good works, and can earn some money to go home to buy a house and marry a daughter-in-law.
When other group performers finished eating and drank some inferior wine and put it on the bed, they had to grit their teeth and take out the savings they saved between their teeth to take acting lessons.
Even if you can't see the light of day, you can only grit your teeth and persevere.
Gritting your teeth and still can't hold on?
Then bite the gums to bleed, bite the teeth to pieces, and you can always persevere!
Whenever they are tired and sleepy, they will joke and motivate each other: "Why sleep for a long time before death, you will sleep forever after death", "Are you dead? Not dead? Still have half a breath? Then continue, you are not allowed to stop until you die".
Xu Zhaoyang looked sideways at the alarm clock again. 6:35。
"Get up, Lao Liu!" Xu Zhaoyang shouted to the upper bunk, and sat up slowly.
It's not that it's rubbing, but I've heard that if you get up too quickly in the morning, you're prone to stroke.
Those of them who live irregularly and have unbalanced nutrition are particularly susceptible to being tricked.
There was a faint stench in the air.
It's not that he and Liu Pengfei are too lazy.
In fact, they are all diligent people, Liu Pengfei even has a slight cleanliness habit, and usually takes a rag to wipe here and there when he is a little free in the room.
But when every minute of the day is longing to pass for 2 minutes, a little untidy, and you can only endure it.
When performing in a group, sometimes lying in the mud for half a day, and sometimes basking in the sun for half a day, how can it be so comfortable, it is normal for the body to be dirty and smelly.
I've been so busy these days that I don't have time to wash my clothes.
When you're done with these few days, be sure to find time to do a good cleaning.
After getting dressed, washing mechanically, and putting out the water for a long time, Xu Zhaoyang came out to look at the time, and it was already 6:39.
It took 4 minutes to get dressed and washed, which was too inefficient.
At this time, Liu Pengfei also got dressed and climbed out of bed, looking at his unfocused look, Xu Zhaoyang knew that he hadn't woken up yet, and was in a state of "sleepwalking" at this time.
When Liu Peng flew to wash, Xu Zhaoyang sat on his bed, pressed the alarm clock that had just begun to ring, took out a pocket English word shorthandbook, and read it aloud.
Although everyone says, at your age, what's the use of learning English, do you still want to go to a foreign film festival to say your acceptance speech in English when you win an award in the future?
For such a malicious joke, Xu Zhaoyang just laughed.
In fact, he himself did not know what the use of learning English was.
But it's better to know a little English than not to know it.
Maybe you will suddenly have a small character and you need to be able to speak two words of English to win that role!
After a while, Liu Pengfei finished washing, emptied the inventory in the large intestine, sat on the chair, took out the repeater, and began to practice speaking.
Yes, practice speaking.
Because Liu Pengfei used to speak a little stammering, and his Mandarin was very non-standard, and he smelled of plastic slag, he now insists on practicing correction every day.
In the recitation of the two of them, the time of the early morning passed quickly.
At 7:30, Xu Zhaoyang said, "Clean up, let's get ready to work." ”
Liu Pengfei has no objections.
They began to pack their beds, change into the clothes they had gone out to work, and prepare to go.
This small apartment with kitchen and bathroom has a total usable area of only 20 square meters, and there is no space left in the cramped room, with a bunk bed, a table, and two chairs.
It was difficult for both of them to move around the room and turn around.
At 7:45, the two of them put on their coats and went out on foot to the bus stop.
While waiting for the car, Xu Zhaoyang smiled at Liu Pengfei: "Actually, you pick it up, it looks pretty good." And you have a body of tendons, tsk, I think you should not be reckless, find a rich woman, take off your disguise, and let her love you well. ”
Liu Pengfei had a toothache on his face, and he was particularly happy, he said: "Brother, in fact, you are more suitable than me in this industry." You had a night a few days ago, and you rushed hard twice in the lower bunk, and I admired you, others have to watch a small H movie if they want to rush, or a small H book, and you rush so hard. It means that you have enough kidneys!"
It was Xu Zhaoyang's turn to cover his cheeks and pretend to have a toothache. "Lao Liu, I worked hard to help you correct your pronunciation, did you let you bury me?"
"You started first. ”
Xu Zhaoyang glared at him: "I'm your brother!
They just fought with you and me.
The young girl waiting for the bus next to her couldn't help but purse her lips and laugh when she saw that their expressions were funny and their words were vulgar but funny.
Xu Zhaoyang is used to seeing it.
Although he and Liu Pengfei are not handsome.
He has small eyes, single eyelids, and thick lips.
Liu Pengfei has Zhou Zheng facial features, but he is very short. Although he has studied martial arts and has strong muscles, he looks like a migrant worker who has just come to the city with a simple smile.
In terms of appearance, they are all failing.
But they have always had no shortage of female companions.
Because they are both more talented in being funny and can make girls happy, it is often easy to hook up with strange girls and have a dewy marriage.
5 minutes later, Xu Zhaoyang had already exchanged phone numbers and LL numbers with the girl, and agreed to come out to play next time.
Of course, Xu Zhaoyang knew very well that at least for a month or two, he would not be able to fulfill this agreement.
Because I've been so busy lately.
Soon, Xu Zhaoyang and their bus arrived.
Xu Zhaoyang and Liu Pengfei waved goodbye to the girl they had just met.
After getting into the car, Liu Pengfei said with some regret: "If you have more time, you can spend the night at that girl's house tonight, so as not to affect me by snoring at night." ”
"Do I really snore? I'm not fat. Xu Zhaoyang was a little suspicious.
Liu Pengfei swore and said: "Your snoring is really loud, and the sense of rhythm is very poor, which especially affects people's sleep." ”
"Oh," Xu Zhaoyang said, "then I'll train my sense of rhythm." ”
“......”
They weren't very lucky today.
It's almost over the morning, and I haven't received any work yet.
While waiting, they all have their own pastimes: Liu Pengfei likes to watch the Internet, but he is reluctant to charge money, so he can only wait for the "limited-time free" section of the website, and he will read whichever book is free every day.
So he rarely reads books in their entirety.
However, there are exceptions, there are a few particularly popular books, and he ordered them all. For example, "Zhu Xian", "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" and so on.
Xu Zhaoyang, on the other hand, seized the time to learn English, downloaded a lot of voices from the Stars and Stripes movies on the forum, copied them in his MP3, and listened to the dialogue of the movie whenever he had time.
I not only learned English, but also learned "reading white", killing two birds with one stone.
When it was almost noon, Lao Huang, the leader of the group, came over: "The crew directed by Hemingway needs 50 group performances to play the audience at the draft scene." It's easy to live, 30 yuan a person, and you are willing to sign up. ”
It's the easiest job.
Just sit there and play the audience, no need to lie on the ground, no need to smear mud, no need to pose too tired.
Although the money is a little less, there are still a lot of people who are willing to go.
Xu Zhaoyang and Liu Pengfei also signed up.
Although I know that the easiest way to make money is Lao Huang.
He only needs to organize and lead people over, and at least he can get 10 yuan for each head.
50 people, that's 500.
But this one is not enviable.
If you don't have that connection, you can't make this money.
Soon 50 people were full, and everyone followed Lao Huang to the filming location of Hemingway's crew.
Liu Pengfei bumped Xu Zhaoyang with his elbow: "I'm about to see your idol, are you excited." ”
"I just liked the books he wrote, and I never felt like he was my idol. ”
Liu Pengfei shrugged: "That's okay, he's my idol." ”
Xu Zhaoyang said curiously: "Why don't I remember that you have fanned him?"
Liu Pengfei said: "Since I watched the photos and videos he took back then, I have admired him very much." ”
Xu Zhaoyang smiled: "The photography technique is really good, isn't it." ”
"Leverage. And to be able to find such a beautiful woman to be a model for him, he has to worship it. ”
They talked and laughed all the way. When they arrived at the place, they were greeted by a pretty short-haired girl.
The girl claimed to be the assistant director, surnamed Liu, and told them how to act and what they wanted.
Because they are playing the live audience, there is no problem of displacement in these scenes, so the explanation is very fast.
After finishing speaking, Director Liu turned around and left, and the group performers waited quietly in place.
Xu Zhaoyang and Liu Pengfei looked at the middle of the filming venue, and the director sitting on the chair was obviously the director Hemingway, Xu Zhaoyang's eyesight was not very good, and he gently bumped Liu Pengfei: "How is it, is Hemingway as handsome as on TV?"
"Don't, don't make noise!" Liu Pengfei was about to drool when he saw it, but he was obviously not looking at Hemingway, "I'm watching the heroine of "Those Years". It's, it's so beautiful!"
Xu Zhaoyang laughed secretly in his heart.
Liu Pengfei's stuttering problem has now been basically corrected, but when he is too excited, he may still make it.
"Maybe you'll have a chance to talk to someone!" Xu Zhaoyang quipped.
"Forget it, forget it, I don't, I don't dare to talk to her. Liu Pengfei couldn't take his eyes off it.
After a while, he wondered, "Who is she talking to?" ”
"Did you get dumped by your boyfriend?" Mr. Xu said.
"How is it possible!" Liu Pengfei stopped stuttering again, "Such a beautiful woman, who is willing to dump her!"
