Chapter 6 Unexpected Lottery

As a senior industry insider, Liu Yue heard the gossip that was not wrong, and this time someone was indeed specifically targeting this crew.

During the day, the sudden departure of the group performers who had already signed contracts was just an appetizer, and in the evening, when the crew was preparing to shoot the night scenes, the situation arose again.

When a crew is filming, in addition to the main role, a large number of background characters are needed, and most of these are completed by low-cost group actors.

There are also some small roles with a few shots and a few lines, which can also be completed by someone.

Most of these roles are played by N-line actors who are not in the mainstream or in small companies.

Even if there are only a few lines, you can write grandly on your resume that you have starred in such and such works.

However, after dinner, the two young actors who were scheduled to appear in the following scenes suddenly said goodbye, making it impossible to continue the shooting plan normally.

The bearded director jumped like thunder, shouting loudly that he must make them look good.

However, the current situation must be resolved. After all, the crew is not a 9-to-5 company, and the daily shooting schedule needs to be completed on time.

Not to mention the many labor and materials in front of and behind the scenes of the entire crew, as well as the cost of renting a venue. The cost of expensive equipment alone is a huge expense.

Especially for cameras, these expensive camera equipment can be a high cost of wear and tear as long as the lens is opened, and if the set plan cannot be completed, it will increase the expenses of the crew.

The delay in completing the scheduled plan will end up bringing massive losses to the crew. And no director wants to get a reputation of losing money from investors.

In desperation, the director could only ask people to find some replacements that seemed okay in those group performances. After all, he had no other choice at this time.

The atmosphere of the crew is a little tense, and they can't participate in the struggle behind this level, and they are willing to participate at all.

The director is in a bad mood, and naturally no one wants to come forward to touch the mold, whether it is the actors or behind the scenes. The atmosphere at the scene naturally became heavy.

In this heavy atmosphere, Zhang Fan and Liu Yue followed the drama manager with pimples on his face to the director's side.

Different from the atmosphere of the scene, Zhang Fan's face still had a calm expression.

As for the reason, it is very simple, not that he is heartless and unaware. It's that Zhang Fan hasn't corrected his mentality until now. In his opinion, everything he does is still more like a game.

Originally, Zhang Fan was not a person in this industry, and he took the initiative to join because he encountered an inexplicable system. He thinks of it more as a fantastic trip.

Since there is no desire, there is naturally no desire.

"Director. The young drama manager stepped forward in a whisper, "All the tricks are gone, and there are only these two left." ”

"It's too deceitful!" the bearded director just sat back in his chair out of breath to rest, but he didn't expect that what was originally just a very simple little thing was so tricky at this time. In an instant, he was thunderous again.

Under normal circumstances, the opportunity to play a small role is as rare as winning the first prize when you buy a lottery ticket. Not to mention the crying and weeping thanksgiving, the ecstatic swarming and scrambling is also a must.

However, the director threw out the role and went out, but was stunned to find that even those who were dead and tricky did not bird themselves, how could this huge gap not make him thunderous.

Those who mix in this industry are all about money. But in terms of appearance, the most important thing is a reputation. At this time, the bearded director felt that his reputation had been insulted repeatedly.

The ins and outs of the whole thing are actually not complicated.

This crew, from the director to the actors, is basically a newcomer. The director used to shoot commercials, and the actors were basically newcomers who needed exposure from various agencies.

Such a group of people being gathered by a newly established production company to form a crew will naturally be attacked by the original market occupants.

The market in any industry is a piece of cake, and with a cake, there will naturally be people who eat the cake. When a newcomer wants to rush in and get a piece of the pie, it's a matter of course to be ostracized.

After carrying it, the production company will be able to gain a foothold in the circle and then share a piece of cake to eat. I can't bear it, and I don't need to say much about everything.

Everything that happens now is just the rules within this circle.

The bearded director is also a well-known figure in the circle when he shoots commercials. It's just that as a director, who doesn't want to really enter the film and television production industry? With this opportunity, no one will refuse.

As for all this that is happening now, even if the bearded director has not encountered it before, he has heard of it.

After venting his anger, the director still set his sights on solving the trouble in front of him.

"Take them to change their clothes. The director looked at Zhang Fan, who was calm, and Liu Yue, who was excited, and waved his hand, "Give them a copy of the script." ”

For this director, now he can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor. At least fool around first.

Compared with Zhang Fan, who had no reaction, Liu Yue, who can be called a senior veteran bird in the industry, was about to jump up excitedly.

There are many differences between a rigid actor and a formal actor, and the most iconic representative of them is the formal actor, even if it is just an insignificant little actor, there will be a script. Even if it's just a few lines.

And those who play tricks will never know what the script looks like.

As for the so-called rules of the group performers, after they had the opportunity to show their faces, those rules had long been thrown out of the clouds.

Looking at Liu Yue, who was walking excitedly and began to crook his legs, Zhang Fan, who didn't know much about them, was very calm. At least what he was thinking about at this time was more about the new task he had just received before.

Becoming a trickster is just the first step into the industry. If you want to become a big name that the whole world knows, having an actor who can speak lines is the first step to crossing this threshold.

A new mission to become a full-fledged actor with a voice.

When Zhang Fan received the script composed of several thin sheets of paper, his eyes widened instantly. Because I saw that there were lines written on these blank sheets of paper!

"Complete the quest to become an actor with a line and get a reward of fifty points. The voice of the system woke up Zhang Fan, who was surprised that he was so lucky, and immediately gave him an even bigger surprise: "In view of the fact that this mission is completed so well and quickly, you will receive a special reward." ”

"Special reward?" Zhang Fan, who was still in the midst of surprise, raised his hand and scratched his chin, with a puzzled expression, "It can't be another love for flowers, right?"

Zhang Fan, who had used Ai Mu flowers before, couldn't help but complain. What does it look like after giving out the flowers, not to mention that a beautiful woman will immediately come forward to kiss like a peach blossom, at least say a few more words, right?

As a result, people returned a signed photo and walked away without looking back, and the depression in Zhang Fan's heart can be imagined.

The system's voice paused slightly, and then explained aloud, "The reason why special rewards are special is that they will only appear after you can complete the task perfectly in the shortest time. If you don't need it, I can assume that I haven't said it. ”

"Don't. Zhang Fan hurriedly nodded again and again, "I want it, I want anything!"

However, when Zhang Fan was anxiously waiting for this unexpected surprise, he was interrupted by Liu Yue, who was already so excited that his originally obscene face had begun to distort, running over and pulling him away.

"I'll go!" struggled to break free of Liu Yue, who ran away with his arm, and then kicked Zhang Fan with a cold expression, "Stay away from me, bastard! I'm not glass!!"

Liu Yue didn't care about taking pictures of the footprints on his thighs, stepped forward and pulled Zhang Fan and ran towards the opposite side, "Don't talk nonsense! Hurry up! The crew is waiting for us to start the show! Hurry up and change clothes, it's too late!"

The crew is filming a costume drama, and if you officially leave the country, you will naturally have to change the corresponding performance costumes.

Under the watchful eyes of the staff with the expressions you have picked up, Zhang Fan and Liu Yue quickly received their respective clothes and finished changing them in the changing room.

The so-called changing room is actually a large container-like box, which is divided into many spaces. The entire cast and crew are here to change costumes.

However, at this time, it was very chaotic, and there were all kinds of clothes and boxes everywhere, and it looked very messy. Zhang Fan even saw things that were obviously personal belongings and were placed aside by the big thorns.

"Hahaha~~~" Zhang Fan, who walked out of the changing room, was still competing with the costume on his body at first. But when he saw Liu Yue wearing a signature costume on the side, he instantly left everything behind, and unscrupulously stretched out his finger and pointed at Liu Yue and laughed wildly.

"Alright, I'm dedicated to art. Liu Yue, whose eyes were twitching, was a little dry.

"Hahahaha~~~" Zhang Fan's laughter was even louder.

"This is a role that can reflect acting skills very well!" Liu Yue, whose face was already faintly darkened, explained in a high voice, "As an actor, you must have the acting skills to interpret any role!"

"Hahaha~~~" Zhang Fan squatted on the ground with his stomach in his arms and laughed wildly, his face was so red that he could barely speak.

"I'll fight with you!!" Liu Yue, whose eyes were almost red, couldn't hold on any longer, and waved his thin arms and threw himself at Zhang Fan.

After a fierce 'fight', Liu Yue, who was thin and weak, was suppressed by Zhang Fan without accident. The humiliation and pain on her face were no different from the angry little daughter-in-law.

The reason why this kind of scene occurred was because Liu Yue got the first character with lines and was actually a eunuch!

Although the bearded director used to shoot commercials, it was still very good to look at the actors. At least he easily found out that Liu Yue, who had an obscene body and an even more obscene face, was simply tailor-made for the role of a eunuch.

In fact, even if he is really just acting, it is estimated that there are not many people who really like the role of eunuchs.

If it weren't for the rare opportunity, maybe Liu Yue would really reject this role that was simply tailor-made for himself in Zhang Fan's unbridled laughter.

Liu Yue, whose face was dark, hummed and ran to the side to walk out of the changing room with his script that was only two blank sheets of paper, and he was still reading it while walking. Look at the focused expression, as if he is the hero of this play.

And Zhang Fan got a role that was much more important than Liu Yue's. At least the script in his hand is thicker than Liu Yue's. Although it is only to the extent of a few sheets of paper.

Zhang Fan, who casually found a place to sit in the changing room, also began to read his script carefully, and the role he got was a heroic Ouchi guard!
