Time: December 2017

Location, southeast corner of Xiangshan Film and Television City

The cold wind was blowing, and even wearing heavy cotton clothes could not withstand the biting cold.

Xu Changqing was half-squatting in the corner of an antique building, and there were a few good brothers he met in the film and television city beside him, who were waiting for the call of the crew.

"Last night, the group said that they were looking for special guest actors, how many of you have no ideas?"

The name of the speaker is Dong Zai, a college graduate, who has only been in Xiangshan for more than two months, and his ideal is to become a famous actor.

Xu Changqing's eyes were very big, and he asked in a more excited voice: "Special invite?"

"Isn't it, big brother, you don't know?"

Last night, Xu Changqing's mobile phone ran out of battery, and people were a little uncomfortable, so he went to bed early, but he didn't go to bed until after nine o'clock, and it stands to reason that the group should also talk about the next day's plan.

"Tell me?"

The person squatting in the middle extinguished Xu Changqing's glimmer of hope, and said coldly: "It's useless to ask, the interview must be over, forget it, think about the actual point of today's group performance." ”

Practical point

These three words are only said by dreamers who have experienced a lot, and the same applies to Xu Changqing, he has been in Xiangshan Film and Television City for two years, and he is also famous, at least he has run a lot of guest roles in the past six months, but he no longer has the dream of being a star, so he hopes to take on more work for guest roles, after all, there is more than 200 income in a single order, which is not comparable to group performances.

"The Xiuxian Legend crew needs 20 disciples from the Mountain Gate"

"Me, I, I"

As soon as the words fell, the man standing not far away in a short down jacket was surrounded by countless people.

"Lao Xu, aren't you going?"

"Don't go"

Xu Changqing really didn't go, he didn't like the role of Xianxia TV series, didn't he just stand behind with a sword in a daze, the weather was terrible cold, even if he was shooting in the studio, it was not his favorite type, he always liked military TV series, but he refused to shoot sci-fi films like hand-tearing devils.

Several brothers around him have gone, they will obviously be selected, after all, in this vast sea of people Xiangshan Film and Television City, he is more than 1.8 meters tall, clean, a little handsome, there are not many people with distinctive facial features, and his temperament is different from others when he wears costumes.

rise

Xu Changqing walked to the left.

He didn't know if there was a play today, and walking left was exactly the direction he was going back to the dormitory.

South Gate

Two small cars are parked on the side.

A total of four people got out of the car, led by a middle-aged man with a peaked cap, followed by two men and a woman, who were younger.

"Director Fu, there are many brokerage companies on the actor's side that are willing to provide it, as long as they are given the opportunity, they can be paid without it, can we conduct a selection in the theater, at least it is better than looking for a trick here, right?"

front

The middle-aged man who was observing did not respond to the suggestion coming from behind him.

These three people are producers, screenwriters and camera directors, they are about to start filming a TV series, the TV series is the genre of modern comedy love, the starring role has been finalized, and they came to Xiangshan to find the second male actor.

Step into the studio

Along the way, the producer still did not give up his suggestions, mainly because the investor also had requirements, even if it was the second male lead, at least he was an actor familiar to the audience.

Maybe the director was impatient, and finally stopped, looked back at the producer and said: "Producer Liu, I said that the male number two must find the most suitable candidate, and editor Li knows best what kind of male number two is needed, without actual life experience, he can't act at all The effect I want, the starring role You and the producer have finalized that I have given in, what kind of traffic stars, do you think you really have acting skills?"

The producer was also a little annoyed, and said without scruples: "If there is no traffic star, who will watch the TV series? Who will buy it if there is no ratings guarantee?" Director Fu, I know that you want to pursue the perfection of art, but sometimes reality is also very important. ”

During the argument, neither the screenwriter nor the director of the camera dared to speak.

The reason why they were brought is very simple, the screenwriter knows whether it is suitable for the role of the second male, and the intuition of the camera director can also judge whether the actor he chooses is not on camera, even if he passes the screenwriting level.

"Producer Liu, if you have to say so, then I won't shoot such a TV series, you can invite another master. ”

Clenched fists

It's not that I don't want to hire another person, but the directors who have filmed comedy and romance TV series are very busy, and only the director in front of him is left, and his previous works have a good reputation, and the male number one asked him to direct, which is really a helpless choice.

"Okay, okay, I won't say it, Director Fu, you can do it, anyway, the result is good. ”

As he was talking, Director Fu's eyes suddenly looked at the alley on the right

Raising his hand and pointing over there, he turned back to the screenwriter and asked, "Editor Li, what do you think of that person?"

At the same time, he also asked the camera director, and the camera director compared a pose and took the lead in answering: "Yes, on camera"

Subsequently, the screenwriter also said: "Just like this, it feels good." ”

After getting the answer, Director Fu strode forward, and soon came to the mouth of the alley, his expression was a little serious, and he said, "Young man, are you an actor?"

Hearing the sound of inquiry, Xu Changqing, who was smoking, slowly raised his head, and there were four people in front of him, and the middle-aged man who took the lead seemed to be asking him.

After looking left and right, and taking another puff of cigarette, Xu Changqing replied: "Strictly speaking, I'm just a trickster, not an actor." ”

Smile lightly

Director Fu took over the topic and said: "Since you can play tricks here, you must have a dream of being an actor, right?"

"Dreams?

After replying, getting up, throwing away the cigarette butt, Xu Changqing grinned at the four of them and left directly.

It's not the first time he has encountered such a situation, just a week ago, a group of several people came to Xiangshan Film and Television City, nominally to shoot a spy war film, and needed the second male lead, at that time Xu Changqing was very serious about preparation, planning to win this role desperately, who made this role very suitable for him, as a result, when he heard how much money he was going to give after passing the primary election, he found out that it was just a scam.

There were several victims of that scam, many of whom were college students, and Xu Changqing was also one of the victims because he had no money, otherwise he would have become one of the victims.

"Alas, young man, I'm not done yet."

The four of them turned around and chased after Xu Changqing, who was walking towards the door.

"Director Fu, you ......"

The producer didn't understand a little, and he was very dissatisfied, he came to Xiangshan just to find a trick actor? asked if the screenwriter was really suitable, and the screenwriter nodded more affirmatively than before and said: "Yes, did you see the last one laughing, Gao Leng, disdainful, this is not acted." ”

I asked the camera director again, is the man who looks impolite on camera?

The director of the camera nodded and said: "On camera, I filmed the scene just now with my mobile phone, Producer Liu will take a look first."

took the phone and looked at the picture, not to mention, it's really hard to refute.

Front

Director Fu caught up with Xu Changqing, grabbed his arm, his expression became a lot gentler, and said with a smile: "Young man, don't worry, haven't I finished speaking? Even if you don't want to hear it, you have to respect the old and love the young to listen to me." ”

His brow furrowed slightly

Xu Changqing had some doubts in his heart, the routine had changed again?

Anyway, I don't have any money, so I won't suffer if I listen to it first.

"Yes, yes, you say. ”

Stretched out his hand and asked Li to take out the script, handed it to Xu Changqing and said: "Young man, you take a look at the script first, this time it is a comedy and love TV series, we are looking for the male number two, I think you are very suitable at the first glance when I see you, read the script first, if you are interested, call me" After speaking, a business card was stuffed in the script.

And then

The man left, leaving the studio directly with the other three people.

Looking at the backs of the four people, Xu Changqing was a little stunned, and muttered: "Don't look for other deceitful objects?"

I flipped through the script at random, put my business card in my pocket, and there were names of the director and screenwriter on the first page, which seemed to be the case, otherwise I would go back and search on the Internet first? Who is the male number one? Who is this female number one, Quan Yuli? Why have I never heard this name.
