Song Zheng wanted to change the teaching plan, and many of the settings of the corresponding program group had to be readjusted, and that night, Song Zheng, He Miao and others were busy until more than two o'clock in the night, and finally smoothed out the next process.

The next day, as soon as the sky dawned, Song Zheng appeared in the playground of Beiying in high spirits.

He was accompanied by another person.

Wang Baoqiang!

"Big brother, what are we doing today?"

Before, because of Ma Rong's matter, Wang Baoqiang was depressed for a few days, but fortunately, there was a group of buddies around him to help him, and he finally eased up.

During this time, he was filming in the south, and this time he had personal matters to deal with, but as soon as he returned to Yanjing, he was arrested by Song Zheng.

"your old job!"

The old business?

Wang Baoqiang pondered for a long time and didn't understand it thoroughly, his old profession, could it be that he was going to be a monk?

After waiting for half an hour, Zhang Hanyu, Zhang Jingchu, Tang Wei all arrived, Chen Duling and several other female students also arrived, but the boys ~~~~~

Song Zheng's face gradually became worse and worse.

waited until the day was bright, and when I saw that the time was half past seven, the boys arrived slowly, and saw that the students who arrived first were lined up in an orderly manner, and they were about to come in, but they were stopped by Song Zheng.

"What time did I say yesterday about gathering?"

Song Zheng's tone did not contain the slightest emotion, and those who are familiar with him know that this is the pre-anger search.

Tong Jieshi and the others were suddenly silent one by one, lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak, and the excitement when they just saw Wang Baoqiang was gone.

Seeing this, Tang Wei hurriedly said: "Brother Zheng, it's not too late, forget it this time!"

"Forget it?" Song Zheng turned his head to look at Zhang Hanyu, "Old Zhang, they usually do this when they do morning exercises?"

Zhang Hanyu hurriedly said: "Usually there are people who have a few minutes at night, what happened today ~~~~~~~ today?"

What's the matter? Does that need to be said?

Look at the faces one by one, what else do you not know, it is estimated that these bear things think they are going to meet the director, hoping to leave the deepest impression on the director at once, and from then on to the peak of life.

In fact, there is some careful thinking, Song Zheng does not object, look at those female students, one by one they are all wearing makeup, but they still remember the time of the gathering, what kind of mess these old men followed.

"It's the first time to read you, each boy deducts ten points for conduct, and the next time you're late, you don't have to go, through this matter, I hope everyone can firmly engrave the concept of time in their minds, just like you, if you really become an actor in the future, will the whole crew wait for you?"

Seeing Song Zheng going crazy, no one dared to say much, and those who were familiar with his character knew that Song Zheng's temper came and went quickly, and when Song Zheng finished teaching him, this matter would pass.

Song Zheng's temper really made these bear things think through it, and the lesson of the lesson was over, and the anger was almost gone, and he glanced at the students in the class: "Didn't you wear the most ordinary clothes, why did you wear such a beautiful dress, you went to the beauty pageant?"

Seeing that Song Zheng was joking, the students' hanging hearts fell to the ground, and their courage also grew.

"Teacher, I'm wearing the most ordinary clothes. ”

"yes, so do I!"

Song Zheng waved his hand, quickly quieted them all, and talked to these people, he didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and said: "It's impossible to let you change your old clothes now, okay, that's it! Let's get down to business, I said it yesterday, let's start a practical class today, so that you know how to be a real actor, first of all, a normal crew actor should be divided into starring, supporting role, character actor, stuntman, stuntman, Extras and so on, what we have to do is to experience the life of extras, maybe you can all become big stars in the future, so, such an opportunity is rare, everyone should be serious!"

"Huh, are you going to do a group show!?"

"Teacher Song, let's do a group performance, what can we exercise!?"

"That's it!, we ~~~~~~~"

"It's not over!?" Song Zheng's face turned cold again, and everyone immediately shut up, "Is it still wronged to let you do a group performance for a day? At your current level, doing group performances is all about promoting you, and you still look down on group performances, what qualifications do you have now?"

Seeing that no one was talking, Song Zheng continued: "Which of you has more experience in group performances?"

A boy named Feng Nan in the crowd raised his hand, this Feng Nan usually has no bright spots in the class, basically the type that lets him do whatever he wants, his grades are not up or down, basically, there is no way out in the entertainment industry.

"Okay! It's you, Feng Nan, come here!"

Feng Nan walked up to Song Zheng.

Song Zheng asked, "How long have you been doing group performances?"

Feng Nan hurriedly said: "I used to float in Hengdian for two years!"

Song Zheng smiled when he heard this: "Yo! It's still an old Jianghu! So let's do it, you have been an extras before, let me introduce you to how extras can be classified!"

Feng Nan sorted out his thoughts and introduced: "There are three kinds of extras, dragon actors, group actors, and special actors. The actor is basically playing the role of passer-by, and the chance of showing his face is very small; the actor with the group will follow the crew to shoot everywhere; the special actor is the relative, company manager, hotel owner, etc., who play the protagonist's relatives, company managers, hotel owners, and all other characters with lines, shots, and close-ups. ”

"When you were in Hengdian, what kind of extras did you do?"

"I'm ~~~~~~" Feng Nan didn't expect anyone to ask, and after a pause, he said, "I've always been doing tricks." ”

Hey, this kid is quite sincere!

Song Zheng patted Feng Nan on the shoulder, motioned for him to go down, and then said: "Everyone knows in their hearts, even extras have levels, you haven't really gone through this circle, how difficult it is for a group performer to upgrade from a trick to a special, let's just go to the trick today, okay, let's go now!"

There is only a wall between Beiying Studio and Beiying, but it takes 15 minutes to walk from the main gate of Beiying to the main entrance of Beiying Studio, so Beiying students go to Beiying Studio many times by climbing over the wall.

The two sides of the gate of the Beijing Film Studio are full of people squatting in the dark, looking like a vegetable market in the early morning, full of extras squatting work.

People who don't know the situation may think that this is the Beijing Film Studio, and there are more opportunities to wait here, but as long as people who are familiar with the inside story know that waiting here, the chances are actually very slim, there are only more people who use war scenes in a play, and generally there are more than 100 extras in a play, even if it is more, it is good to earn a small 2,000 yuan a month, and it is not as good as a small job.

Song Zheng and their arrival immediately caused a commotion among many extras, not to mention Song Zheng and others, even those students, all of whom had first-class images and temperaments, which were very eye-catching. Not to mention Song Zheng, Zhang Hanyu, Zhang Jingchu, Wang Baoqiang, Tang Wei, these big stars who can often be seen on TV.

Song Zheng ignored the curious eyes of the extras, and found an open space, so that the students could also squat down like those professional group performers.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came: "Baoqiang, Baoqiang, aren't you all big stars? Why did you come to the gate of Beijing Film Studio again?"

Song Zheng looked over and saw Wang Baoqiang walking over with a smile on his face, followed the man to greet him, and soon a few more people came over, obviously they all met Wang Baoqiang when he was doing a group performance here, and now Wang Baoqiang has become a big star, and these former companions are still standing still, and their future may be limited to this.

Song Zheng also noticed that Wang Baoqiang's friends looked at him with obvious admiration, and Song Zheng knew that Wang Baoqiang's grassroots rise experience had made him a totem and a legend at the gate of Beijing Film Studio.

Even with the rise of film and television bases in various places, Beijing Film Studio is slowly declining, and there are fewer and fewer jobs, but there is always a group of people who insist here, because there is a big star Wang Baoqiang here, and they all hope that good luck can fall on their heads and become Wang Baoqiang's second!

Wang Baoqiang and others were chatting, and someone proposed to find Song Zheng to sign an autograph, Wang Baoqiang glanced at Song Zheng in embarrassment, and whispered: "Forget it today, Brother Zheng brought his students over to be extras and experience life!"

The person who wanted Song Zheng's autograph heard the words and grinned: "What do extras have to experience." ”

Song Zheng saw that everyone's attention began to shift to their side, for fear that there would be danger in the chaos later, so he hurriedly beckoned to Wang Baoqiang and called him over.

"Big brother, they all used to wait with me at the gate of the Beijing Film Studio. ”

"I know!" Song Zheng saw that there was no one to recruit group performers for a while, so he simply let Wang Baoqiang show up and explain it first, "Baoqiang, you have been an extras for a few years before, and you have a lot of experience, tell the students in our class!"

Wang Baoqiang was stunned for a moment, and his head shook: "Big brother, you don't know me yet, I can't speak, what are you talking about?"

Song Zheng said: "Just talk about your previous experience, how you became an extra, whether acting is hard, and what difficulties you have experienced." ”

Difficult, if you really want to say difficult, it must have been when I was filming with Song Zheng before, and the worst time was when I was filming "My Brother, My Group", because of my bad acting, I was almost kicked by Song Zheng with a heartwarming kick.

But this matter obviously can't be said, Wang Baoqiang recalled the class and said: "Actually, there is nothing to say, I originally studied martial arts in Shaolin Temple, but I want to be an actor, an actor like Li Lianjie, and then I came here, when I first became an extra, I thought that every actor in the crew was equal." We would eat together, film together, talk together, I would teach others martial arts, and others would teach me how to act. Later, I learned that extras like us, in their eyes, are just small ants on the land, black oppresses a group, and there is no difference between who and whom. Don't say that you can learn from them, even if you look at them and say a word, you can't. I remember that once when I was filming, I was in the wrong position, and the crew rushed up and scolded, as ugly as they wanted. Another time, during a shoot, I accidentally kicked over an antique chair and got slapped in the face. ”

Hearing this, Chen Duling couldn't help but ask, "It's really a fight, you didn't resist?"

A little girl who is not deeply involved in the world, obviously can't understand some of the dark sides that must exist in society, she is probably the same as Wang Baoqiang who just became a North Drifter, believing that everything in the world is divided into beauty.

Wang Baoqiang smiled innocently: "I endure it, I want to be an actor, if I fight with the crew, I won't get money, and other crews may not use me." ”

Tong Jieshi said: "Brother Baoqiang, you are from Shaolin Temple, you know martial arts, you should go to martial arts!"

Wang Baoqiang nodded and said: "Later, I also did martial arts, and my first martial arts job was a movie called "Bus Detective", as a stand-in for the male protagonist. My task was to climb onto a very high fire ladder and fall off it. The ladder was more than two meters high, with a concrete floor underneath it, without any protection. I climbed up the ladder and looked at the gray-white concrete floor below, my legs shaking all the time. But when the director shouted to start, I closed my eyes and fell straight down. But this shot didn't happen, so I had to do it all over again. I fell to the ground like a punching bag again. This shot was taken three times, and I fell three times. By the time the director said it, when I got up, I didn't feel any pain at all, my arm was broken, and my sleeves were wet with blood. ”

These students were stupid, they fell down from a height of more than two meters, it was still a concrete floor, this is acting, this is obviously playing with their lives!

Wang Baoqiang also opened the conversation at this time, and continued: "At that time, an old martial artist came over, pulled me aside, and said, 'You are stupid, how can you really fall? How can you throw your body to the ground so directly? If you continue like this, you will die! Although I fell badly that day, I got 50 yuan. The next day, I still fell to the ground, but not from a ladder. I'm going to be grabbed by the wrist and thrown to the ground. But I still didn't know what a fake fall was or a real fall at the time. By the time the shooting was over, my eyes were blue and one side of my face was swollen. At the end of the day, the assistant director came over, patted me on the shoulder and said, "It's a good performance, it's real." Since that movie, many group leaders know that there is a stand-in named Wang Baoqiang, who is not afraid of death, others fake falls, and he really falls. ”

Wang Baoqiang talked about his own experience, but also talked about what he saw, talked about the interesting things of doing group performances, and also talked about the hardships and tiredness of group performances, his cultural level is limited, he speaks things simply and directly, and there are no fancy words, but this simple language is particularly sincere and infectious.

The students present were really shocked, they had always thought that being an actor was a very easy and enjoyable thing, stood in front of the camera, performed directly, and then enjoyed flowers and applause.

I never thought that there was such a group of people who relied on a meager income of dozens of yuan and box lunches every day to support themselves, and they slept outside the walls of the Beijing Film Studio, near the Third Ring Road, without money to pay the rent, just for the unquenchable dream of being an actor in their hearts!

They suddenly understood why Song Zheng brought everyone to the gate of Beijing Film Studio, compared with these extras, they were really happy and lucky to be able to study in the classroom of Beijing Film Studio!

Song Zheng is also listening carefully, in fact, what Wang Baoqiang said is just a microcosm of the group performance, Song Zheng has been filming for so many years, and what he has seen is far more profound than Wang Baoqiang.

Being able to become an acting star is the dream of everyone who is engaged in the entertainment industry, but only when you really squeeze into this circle will you find that this road is very difficult to walk.

There are tens of thousands of people who go to Hengdian to do group performances every year, and the roles they play are the corresponding passers-by, and they can't let the audience pay attention to them when acting!

When filming, group performances are actually props for activities in the eyes of many people, and some group leaders will not even give them dignity.

Kind smile, polite, polite, respectful?

How is it possible, they are the ones who control the fate of the group.

It's already good to beat and scold at every turn.

As for what to do, that's a lot, you may wear heavy armor in the hot summer, or you may wear light dresses in the cold winter. They may be covered in blood, or they may be asked to lie down in muddy water.

For ordinary extras, they are a group of people who do the most tiring work in the crew, but get the least salary.

Their daily job is to constantly change clothes, rush to the scene, and go wherever they need people. Before I arrived at the shooting site, I didn't know what I was going to play today.

I have to arrive at four or five o'clock in the morning every morning and wait for the shooting. If the leading actor doesn't come, he has to wait in a costume, and when the weather is good, he can only endure it until the main actor comes over and finishes filming.

Sometimes it is common to shoot out-of-season scenes, wearing heavy costumes in a heat close to 40 degrees, and standing under the scorching sun for hours. And the high temperature subsidy for extras is only a few yuan a day, which is very cheap.

During the meal, because there were so many group performances, the film company could not arrange a large venue for them to eat, so they received a boxed lunch and could only sit on the ground to eat!

The meals are also extremely ordinary, and it is already very good to be able to eat two meatballs, with some large pots of greens, this is all they have for mealtime!

The salary is very low, and the salary is dozens of yuan after working for a few hours, and you can't even support your family!

Working in such a working environment, there are two biggest spiritual supports, one is to meet the star and have the opportunity to take a photo with him!

The second is to insist on your dream of being a superstar, and becoming a star may be just a look from others, a small performance of your own, and no one wants to give up this opportunity!

Every actor who becomes a star may have such bitter days behind him, and there must always be a dream, in case it comes true!

It's a pity that dreams rarely become reality, and people like Wang Baoqiang are basically one out of the crowd, and it can even be said that they are looking for a needle in a haystack.

The vast majority of group performances have been mixed for half their lives, and they don't even have a single line, this is the reality.

This is what these children lack, they are still in an unrealistic dream, and someone needs to come and fan them awake, otherwise, they will never know how many pounds and taels they have.
