Chapter 173

"This old man has worked here all his life in the plumbing warehouse, hey, there is no future. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info" Big-mouthed Wen smiled and said, "I'll talk to Master Tiger inside for a while, don't make a noise without asking you." Hu Ye is in charge of hundreds of people, and if he speaks, your work will be settled. ā€

"Tiger Master, Tiger Master, I haven't seen you for a few days, you old man has a good thing, red face!" As soon as Dazuiwen entered the room, he quickly stepped forward and greeted a middle-aged man with a wide body and a fat body who was sitting in the room and stuffing breakfast into his mouth.

The middle-aged fat man glanced up at him when he heard this, wiped his mouth slowly with a tissue, and spoke after a while: "Wen Zai, you have disappeared for a few more days, haven't you been hacked to death by the people in the casino?"

The big mouth Wen laughed dryly, "No, no, Master Hu, I went to get a bottle of good liquor in the past few days, I know that you are most unaccustomed to drinking the wine of those foreign devils." I just forgot to bring it today, so I'll bring it to you another day. ā€

"Come on, don't fool me with those fakes. Wen Zai, don't say I'm talking about you, I woke you up because of a little friendship with your dead ghost father. Look at Ah Liang, who came in later than you, he can play a small supporting role this time, and he has more than a dozen lines. ā€

"He, that bamboo pole? Why is he! I'm more handsome than him, and my acting skills are much better than him, how realistic I played the dead soldier last time!" Hearing that the street boy who usually didn't deal with him ran in front of him, Dazui Wen felt aggrieved in his heart.

"Come on, just your dead body lying on the ground, passers-by walking around, what kind of acting skills are you talking about. You are more motivated, don't always like to come and not come, fishing for three days all day and drying nets for two days. ā€

"Hey, Master Tiger, I understand. If you have a chance, you will also help me say a good word in front of various directors, so that I can also play a role with positive shots and lines? You see if there's a shortage of people on the set, he just lost his job. ā€

Only then did the tiger master look up and down at Cheng Weiliang, who was standing on the side, turned his head to Dazuiwen and said, "The fox friend you made finally has a pleasing one." Hou Shengzi, in Xiangjiang, as long as he can endure hardship, he is not afraid of having no food. ā€

"Master Tiger agreed, why don't you come up quickly and thank Master Tiger!" Hearing his words, Big Mouth Wen quickly pulled Cheng Weiliang forward to thank him.

"Thank you Master Hu! Thank you Brother Wen!" Cheng Weiliang now has no problem listening and speaking Cantonese in his daily life, but his pronunciation is a little lame.

……

Cheng Weiliang couldn't laugh or cry, he just came to visit the legendary Shaw Brothers set today, how to go around and around, and in the end he had to go back to what he did in his previous life.

I still remember the director at that time saying to himself: "Extras are also actors, and everything starts from the basics." At that time, his face was red not long after graduating from film and television school, it was too bullying! But he still held back and didn't throw his hands away again like he did in the first few crews.

When he was about to graduate, he was young and vigorous, and he accidentally offended a big man in the circle, and the big man threatened to make him unable to stay in this circle! The influence of the big guy is really not covered, he later moved to several crews, and for more than a year, he either did the work of moving around and doing chores, or played some tricky roles without a few lines, and even more so he wanted to be an extra to play a passer-by who didn't show his face, and never let him touch the camera.

Later, I swallowed my anger and worked at the bottom of the crew for five or six years, but I still can't see where the future is, but the classmates in the same class have begun to emerge and are known as the new generation of rising stars, who can direct independently!

hesitated, struggled, and persevered, and finally his mother's serious illness became a straw that broke the camel's back, and he left the days of running around the ends of the earth, and also gave up the dream of becoming a great director in the second year of high school, and gave up his "agreement" with her.

Do you regret it? I used to ask myself this question in later days.

Cheng Weiliang and a dozen extras stood aside, giggling and pointing at the scene being filmed in the distance. He stared at the cameras that turned or went back and forth from time to time, and the director who sat there directing with a guide in his hand. It's been five years since he left the film and television industry in a blink of an eye, and looking at the scene in front of him as if it was yesterday, for a moment he felt that he had the answer to that question.

After leaving the film and television industry, he joined an advertising agency and lived a more stable life than before. A few years of stable life do not seem to have completely annihilated the dream he once vowed to fight for.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that he had come to this era inexplicably, perhaps it was God's arrangement! It was God who gave him another chance to realize his long-cherished wish!

Yes, Xiangjiang in the 80s was the golden decade of Xiangjiang films, the era of rapid expansion of the influence of Chinese films, and the era when all filmmakers were promising. I should be based in Xiangjiang, with the lessons of my previous life, I will never lose again this time!

"Hey, do you hear me?" you, it's you!" Cheng Weiliang was a little distracted, until the sleeve was pulled by the person next to him, and he came back to his senses, and when he looked up, he saw the director pointing at him with an angry face, and walked towards Cheng Weiliang.

The others gloated and snickered on the side, Cheng Weiliang didn't know what was going on, so he had to respond to the changes and not make a sound, just stared at the director's eyes with a sincere face.

"Are you a fool? Are you deaf? You shouldn't scream, it's like wood!" Eight out of ten directors on the set have bad tempers.

"I'm sorry, Director. "Inexplicably scolded, Cheng Weiliang is also very tired of his heart, but he is no longer a stunned young man who has just graduated, if he wants to enter the industry, he should bow his head and bow his head, and there is no need to say any excuse.

"Forget it, come with me, there's a role for you to play. ā€

Cheng Weiliang was just preparing a name for Hu Ye today, and he didn't think about being on an errand today, but when he heard that he was about to play a role, he was stunned for a while.

The surrounding extras immediately talked about it when they heard that he, a newcomer who only came to report today, played the role. Especially when I heard that I was going to replace an actor who had a temporary situation and played a role with a frontal shot and lines, it was even more crowd-talking, and there were all kinds of strange things, even if there was only one line. You must know that many of them have been on the set for many years, and some of them have the dream of being lucky to be photographed by a big director and becoming famous overnight, and they want to seize even the slightest opportunity. Now the opportunity has been cut off by a street boy who came from nowhere, how can you not be angry!

"What are you arguing about, what are you arguing about! Look at yourselves, all crooked melons and cracked dates, and you don't look like a prince in a dragon robe, can you play a waiter in a high-end restaurant?" The extras have always been loved and loved, and when the director heard that these guys seemed to be rebelling, he immediately became angry, turned around and pointed at those people and scolded them.

In the entertainment industry, men are handsome, just like women are beautiful, which is a high-quality resource, and sometimes it will take advantage of it. Cheng Weiliang thought to himself, the appearance of this predecessor was probably inherited from his former art troupe member mother. The silhouette is angular like his father, and his facial features are a little more handsome than his mother, and he is six or seven points similar to a male star in a TV series in later generations.

If he said that he was handsome in his previous life, he could go to a bar to seduce some deep and lonely women, but now this body, even if he has a hairstyle that looks like a pot lid in later life, he can still be called handsome with eyebrows, and his figure is as tall as a soldier, and he can definitely make those girls in later generations say "Cool, handsome!"

"Makeup artist, is it alright? It's his turn to play. "The director sent someone to urge.

"Right away. Cheng Weiliang's role is very simple, that is, he plays a waiter in a high-end restaurant, bringing wine and food to the table of the heroine and the rich boy who pursues her, and then being knocked down by the heroine who has a dispute with the rich boy. The hairstylist helped him trim his hair a little and change his clothes, and the makeup artist gave him a simple eyebrow trim and a little powder.

In the studio set up in the studio, Big Mouth has other extras, sitting in pairs to dress up as a couple for dinner, acting as a background. The heroine walks into the dining room and sits across from the rich boy to talk to him. The camera lens is directed at the heroine.

"It's your turn, do you remember the lines? ā€

"Remember, walk over, put down the food, and say, 'Dine two, please.'" I don't know how many roles he played in his previous life, and such a scene is not worth mentioning at all.

Cheng Weiliang was wearing a white waiter uniform and a red bow tie, and his posture was neat, and he really looked like a well-trained waiter in a high-class place. He walked to the heroine with the plate, there was no camera facing him along the way, and when he walked to the table, his side face flashed in front of the camera, and after putting down the wine and food, he read the line: Please dine two. Immediately after that, the heroine, who was originally talking, suddenly scolded the rich boy loudly, got up angrily and left, but collided with the waiter played by Cheng Weiliang, who had no time to dodge. Only then did Cheng Weiliang have a brief frontal shot.

"Click! Mimi, you are now playing a character character, she loudly and resolutely asks the rich boy not to pester her, you should move a little bigger, and your attitude should be more resolute, not like you just now, you can't be angry and disgusted if you are loud! Do you want to play a role that wants to catch Kaizi?" The director was very dissatisfied with the heroine's performance, and reprimanded her mercilessly.

The heroine bowed her head and was trained, and she re-enacted it four or five times, but she was still shouted by the director!

Click!

Click!

Click!

The director was completely furious, and stared at the heroine for a long time before he calmed down. After turning his gaze on the faces of the heroine and Cheng Weiliang a few times, he said: "In this way, Mimi, you add a line like this, 'Please don't pester me again in the future, even if you marry a pig and a dog, I won't take a fancy to you like this!' Then you suddenly turned around and kissed the waiter's mouth to show your decision. ā€

Both men and women exclaimed at the same time!

Cheng Weiliang didn't expect to play a trick, and he actually wanted to give his first kiss on the screen after being reborn! Although this kind of thing is taken advantage of by the man, he may not be willing to take advantage of it.

The heroine looked at the director, then at him, and finally nodded in embarrassment. I don't know if she is embarrassed about kissing an extra, or nodding for the sake of him being a handsome guy, in short, I can't tell, the play has to go on.

For the first time, both of them were a little uncomfortable.

The second time, the two sides adjusted their state, and the scene finally passed.

"Click! As soon as the director shouted, the whole crew was relaxed, and they didn't expect that a simple scene would take so much effort. The dragon tricks in the background have a lot of water in their stomachs.

……

"Wei Liang, it's really you! The first day was very blessed. Dazuiwen didn't change his clothes, so he ran over and grabbed Cheng Weiliang's shoulders, squeezing his eyes at him with a cheap smile, and there was a little jealousy in his words.

In fact, Cheng Weiliang already felt the gaze focused on himself during the filming of the kiss scene, and he didn't know how much jealousy it contained. innocently offended many people on the set on the first day, and he couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile. But I didn't care too much, not being jealous is a mediocre talent, and if you want to be the first in this circle, you will inevitably have similar problems.

"Uh, who's that, don't go yet!" the director suddenly turned around and stopped him as he passed by.

"Director, do you have anything to do with me?" Cheng Weiliang didn't know what the director meant by stopping him, he was just an insignificant extra.

"You...... What's your name?How long have you been doing this?Are you interested in becoming an actor official?" The director watched him save the scene temporarily, but he didn't panic at all, and his acting was very natural, especially when he was kissed by the heroine, the surprised look on his face was in place, and he thought that there were also talents in the extras, so he wanted him to be a formal actor on a whim.

To be a full-fledged actor? Cheng Weiliang's mind turned around, should he agree? Without a Xiangjiang ID card, he can't sign a contract. This director has no impression in his mind, which shows that this person will not have any good works and influence in the future, and he will not be able to help him solve the identity problem without energy. Even if there is, it may not be willing to bother to help a small shrimp.

If you don't sign a contract, join this circle with him, take the opportunity to meet the bigwigs in the circle in the future, win high-level appreciation with the knowledge of your previous life, and then let the bigwigs help solve your identity?

However, the problem is time, how much time and opportunity do you need to get close to the top and win appreciation? You must know that the current Xiangjiang film industry does not pay attention to the script, and often only needs a story outline, and you can shoot while figuring out the details and how to act. You are a mainland boy who thinks it is a classic script, maybe in the eyes of others, you just don't need to read it, and you just throw it into the trash can.

There are advanced shooting techniques and concepts in later generations, but do you have the opportunity to take charge of the camera? In the Xiangjiang film circle, it often takes more than ten years to rise from the bottom to the director, unless you are appreciated by nobles and promoted by exception. Reborn, it is impossible for me to accept such an ethereal thing as waiting for "chance", and my fate should be in my own hands.

What's more, if you only play a small role today, you have already been jealous, and if you go further in the future, once your identity is exposed, it is inevitable that there will be no jealous people who will secretly denounce you, and you will be repatriated. With his current broken Cantonese pronunciation and big mouth, there is a 100% chance that his identity as a stowaway will be revealed.

The most important thing is that since he gave up returning to the mainland and decided to stay in Xiangjiang, he gave up his previous plan to sell some songs to make some capital, and instead had some other more crazy ideas.

Thinking about this, Cheng Weiliang knew what he should do. (To be continued.) )
