Hengdian at four o'clock in the morning.

The bored Zhou Jing curled up in the corner of the old union, half-squinting and looking out of the house, from yesterday to now, he has slept for less than five hours in total, and the dark circles in the corners of his eyes are very obvious.

There are many people in the union, some get together to play cards to pass the time, some lie on the table and stay stupid, and some like Zhou Jing take this opportunity to take a nap, the ghost knows what time it will be today.

In Hengdian in July, the weather was unusually hot, less than 30 square meters of the room, gathered more than 40 people, no air conditioning, only an old-fashioned ceiling fan was slowly turning, in addition to psychological comfort, there was no refrigeration effect, just sitting there without moving, you can sweat.

Zhou Jing, who was so sleepy, couldn't care so much, his forehead rested on his knees, his hands wrapped around his calves, and he actually fell asleep in a daze.

"Welcome to the villain actor system, please choose the character you want to simulate. ”

In the haze, Zhou Jing seemed to be in a new space, and in front of his eyes, such a line of words appeared, and at the same time, a huge screen also appeared, Zhou Jing couldn't figure out whether this was a dream or reality, just when he was about to reach out and touch, a voice suddenly came.

"Dude, you're here to be a star too?"

Zhou Jing slowly raised his head, rubbed his eyes, and looked to the side sleepily, he didn't know when a person sat next to him, he looked about the same age as himself, about twenty years old.

"What celebrities are not celebrities, they are here to eat. Zhou Jing wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied casually, still thinking about the scene just now.

"How many people come here who don't want to be stars?" The man smiled noncommittally, his face full of excitement, "I've thought about it anyway, if I don't mix it up, I will never leave Hengdian!"

Zhou Jing didn't say anything, just glanced at him, and it can be concluded from this sentence that this person must be new, because Zhou Jing at the beginning was as naïve as him, thinking that he could get ahead in the entertainment industry by relying on his own efforts.

But soon, Zhou Jing found that he was thinking too much, there was no gold owner, so many art candidates from the academy were out of the crowd, not to mention their lowest group performances?

There are tens of thousands of group performances in Hengdian every year, but none of them really get ahead.

There is only one Wang Baoqiang, and most of them are just passers-by.

Zhou Jing, who just turned 23 this year, before coming to Hengdian in May, was also a "North Drifter" in the imperial capital Yanjing for two years.

The sky has gradually revealed the white of the fish's belly, and it is estimated that after a while, a group of leaders will come, and Zhou Jing will no longer sleep, so he simply chatted with the young man on the side.

The young man's name is Wang Qiang, he just arrived here yesterday, and he can't wait to come here today to take over the play, and his words are full of expectations for the "horizontal drifting" life.

Zhou Jing has been here for more than two months, and he knows a lot of things, so he told Wang Qiang about some of his experience, but he didn't hit him much, after a long time, Wang Qiang naturally knew what kind of life he was going to face.

"The car is coming!"

I don't know who shouted, and then I saw a group of people rushing out like flying, Zhou Jing didn't have time to say more to Wang Qiang, patted him on the shoulder, and rushed out as well, but he couldn't wait here for so long in vain.

"Brother Tian, if you want me, I'll live well!"

"Brother Tian, you haven't eaten yet, I'll be in the crew in a while, please have breakfast

！”

"Brother Tian, I said it last night, you must take me today!"

…………

As soon as Li Tianle, the leader of the group, got out of the car, a group of people immediately surrounded him, vying to hand over his actor card forward, just like a concubine in the ancient harem, waiting for the emperor to flop, because as long as the actor card is taken away, it means that there is work to be done today.

Zhou Jing, who was sandwiched in the middle, also squeezed forward with all his might, and he was particularly eye-catching in the crowd with eight heads of one meter.

"Let's be quiet for Lao Tzu, whoever squeezes forward any longer, and he won't want to take over the drama in the future!" Li Tianle, who was wearing a hat, held a big horn in his hand, and shouted impatiently.

Sure enough, the crowd quieted down all of a sudden, and for the vast majority of group performers, the group head was already an unattainable existence.

"Today is all dead and alive, it will take eight people, 80 yuan a day, and each person will have a red envelope of 10 yuan. With that, Li Tianle put down the horn and began to scan the crowd.

"Liu Lao Er, you, and your ......"

The selected people, happily out of the crowd, boarded the car under the gaze of everyone, and soon only one place remained.

Li Tianle looked at the crowd again, and then put his eyes on Zhou Jing, "That handsome young man, it's you." ”

Zhou Jing was stunned at first, and then immediately showed a big smile, "Thank you, Brother Tian!"

He has been selected by the group leader more than once because he is handsome, and in the showbiz where he eats by looking at his face, even the group performances at the bottom are so realistic.

"Grass! just play a dead man, he looks handsome and has a hairy use, and he is not going to sell fart shares!" muttered someone in the crowd.

"Even if it's a fart seller, it's useful to look at the face, isn't it the same when you take off your pants?" said someone else.

***

The car soon drove into the film and television city, according to the regulations, the crew that started filming before seven o'clock must provide breakfast, taking advantage of the gap between meals, Li Tianle called a few people over and began to lecture.

"When filming starts for a while, listen to the arrangement of the crew, let you die how you want, don't play tricks, Liu Laoer, you are the most likely to die among several people, teach them how to die for a while, just try to die once. ”

Zhou Jing is no stranger to the role he will play next, and in the entire Hengdian Film and Television City, they have the most deaths: the devils in the anti-Japanese drama.

Zhou Jing can be regarded as a battle-hardened devil, but today's anti-Japanese drama still surprised him, what bun grenades and high-energy armor-piercing bullets are all weak, because today's drama integrates many elements such as crossing, rebirth, and cultivation, which can be said to have come to a new realm.

To put it simply, it is the story of a Taoist friend who failed to cross the catastrophe and was reborn in the anti-Japanese era, improved his cultivation in the anti-Japanese war, and finally soared smoothly.

And the plot to be filmed today is that the male protagonist after rebirth, met a team of devils, and when the devils tried to capture the male protagonist, they accidentally triggered the male protagonist's body of Thor, and they were all electrocuted......

Originally, filming was going to start at half past six, but until half past seven, the male protagonist of this drama did not appear, and the anxious director scolded, and then the director answered a phone call, it should have been called by the other party's agent, saying that the actor's hand was broken and he was on his way to the hospital, and it was estimated that he would not be able to reach the crew until eleven o'clock.

The director's face turned green in an instant, but he could only nod his head again and again, said a few words of concern, and then hung up the phone.

The male lead actor didn't come, so he could only skip the first scene, and shoot some unimportant shots first, such as the close-up shots of several devils who were electrocuted by the male lead, I thought that the first shot would pass, but what Zhou Jing didn't expect was that there were really people who didn't know how to die.

"! That shortest devil,! You're playing a dead man, who made you stick out your tongue, that's a blood bag, not ketchup!"

The director, who had been on fire for a while, finally broke out, pointing at one of the group performers and roaring angrily.

The group performer, who didn't know if he hadn't eaten enough in the morning, didn't dare to say a word, so he could only leave with a smiling face, and no one spoke for him during the whole process.

After scolding this group performance, the director called the scene staff again, "Let those two black performers keep their mouths tight, they need close-ups, what does this row of snow-white teeth mean?"

These two black actors are special actors hired by the crew, playing charred corpses, because the price of finding them is lower than that of props.

After such a play, the next filming became smooth, and the male lead actor was really punctual, saying that it would be at eleven o'clock, and it would be at eleven o'clock, after getting off the nanny car, several people such as agents and assistants hugged each other, and the fans who had been waiting at the scene for a long time saw the bean get out of the car, and they screamed at the top of their throats.

"It's so damn precious when you break a finger!" said one of the ensembles, indignantly.

But sour is sour, this is the wrist, you can't accept it!

Although he came a little late, the leading actor was also dedicated, his fingers were broken, he was stunned that he didn't use a stand-in, and it took half an hour to finish filming the morning scene.

…………

With the cooperation of the male lead, before five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Jing ended today's shooting task and successfully received today's salary, a total of 90 yuan, it is estimated that even the money for a lunch of the leading actor is not enough.

In the past, if he had called it a day so early, Zhou Jing would have gone to other crews to squat to see if he could find another night shift to do, but today Zhou Jing decided to go home first, and he still thinks about the scene that happened in the morning, and he wants to study it carefully, what the so-called "villain actor system" is.
