Hengdu Film and Television City, autumn tigers are raging. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was supposed to be a crisp autumn month in November, but there was a heat in people's hearts that couldn't be vented, which made people feel a little irritable.

The old city of the Republic of China, the filming site of an unknown anti-Japanese drama.

More than 20 extras wearing little devil costumes (produced by an unknown prop and clothing factory in Yiwu) and steel helmets (produced by an unknown props factory in Wuxi) were standing there being trained, all of them with gray faces and sweating profusely.

"I recruited you to play the little devil, not to let you play the traitor! Why don't you even have this level? I've been moldy for eight lifetimes! ”

The smaller the crew, the bigger the director's temper, and the full ten NG shows made the assistant director who was responsible for contacting the group performance scolded him for being bloody.

Turning around, the assistant director had a bigger temper and chattered wildly at the more than 20 extras in front of him for half an hour...... It's not going to stop yet, it's really not thirsty......

"Director, we are all senior little devil group acting professionals, there were so many anti-Japanese dramas in the past, they were all filmed by us, and there are two ones that have been hotly searched on Weibo, both of which are played by us, without us acting with them, how can they be popular?"

Seeing that the assistant director was a little tired, one of the upright young men from He Nan was very aggrieved when he touched his head.

"That's it, director, that stupid ...... He has to let us concave and make a wide-mouthed expression of being stabbed to death with a big knife, and he wants so many of us to have a different expression of death, and he doesn't show his face, why do you do this? ”

"Why is there so much? We are actors, not props, and if we continue to do this, Lao Tzu will boycott! ”

"Just for this more than 100 yuan, Lao Tzu fell down every staircase ten times, and every time he was stabbed, I changed my tricks and rolled down, and Lao Tzu died painfully, what else would he do?"

"Lao Wan, you used to shoot this, why did you change a hairy boy to be the director now, you toss us so hard, and you don't say anything......"

"That's right......"

Being an extras also has a temper, taking advantage of the bald old man to take a breath and drink water, more than 20 senior little devil extras are crying bitterly.

"Shut up!"

The bald old man drank two bottles of mineral water in one go, and was still swallowing water in his mouth, so he yelled: "You know a fart? This drama was cast by someone's father, and he didn't want to be sold, just to be a son's director! ”

"Lao Tzu used to shoot well, so many divine shots are Lao Tzu's creativity, but you guys saw Lao Tzu's name on TV? Tearing devils with bare hands, hiding mines in the crotch of his pants, flying rocks and handjob......"

"If it weren't for Lao Tzu's recent lack of money, who would want to follow such a fool and toss?"

"Everyone endures it, they all follow my Lao Wan to shoot anti-Japanese dramas, sell thousands of faces, we are actors, we have high requirements for ourselves, no matter how unreasonable the director's demands, as long as we find a way, we can solve it!"

Under the pitiful effect of the bald man, these 'little devils' finally calmed down.

"In that scene just now, seven shots, we haven't passed any of them, haven't we passed one of the shots, by the way, who thought of that method at the time, drew the knife and turned around with a 360-degree rotation to die, this is a good idea!"

Suddenly, Lao Wan thought of something, and his eyes were blazing with Shinto.

"Oops, who's kicking me?"

Tang Nian, who had been hiding in the crowd and trying to take a breath and rest, was quickly pushed out and stood at the front.

I don't know who kicked him just now, and there was still some pain in his legs, he looked back with bared teeth, but saw that all of them were bowing their heads and laughing, and they couldn't tell which yin hand it was.

"Hehe, what's your name?"

"Tang Nian!"

"Ah, I remember, you were recommended by Lao Liu, and you signed an agreement with the Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop in his hand, no wonder you are so smart and creative...... Young man, you are very good, I am very optimistic about you! ”

"Lao Wan, you are so optimistic about me, can the 360-degree rotation death that I thought of when I was filming on the scene just now be regarded as my personal exclusive creative ......"

"Smack!"

The bald old man slapped Tang Nian's steel helmet, grinned, and said, "I haven't asked Lao Liu to pay the recommendation fee, you are here well, and you still want to eat alone!" Since Lao Liu recommended you to come over because he wanted to polish you, then during this period, all your new ideas belong to the collective creative achievements, and without the general environment of more than 20 brothers, can you come up with such powerful ideas? Brothers, you say, don't you? ”

"yes, yes...... Hahaha......"

Tang Nian looked at a group of young people with the dream of being actors who had already gotten acquainted after a few scenes, and looked at their giggling, with a little touch in his heart, but he said with some frustration on his face: "......It's good if you are happy."

"I can tell you, those who were born in Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop are all very smart actors, since Tang Nian was able to think of such a good idea to come to that shot, everyone brainstormed together, and they will definitely be able to tide over the difficulties and shoot the remaining six shots!"

"You can think about it, this is a good opportunity to practice our acting skills, if people are not rich and capricious, how can we have the opportunity to practice our ideas over and over again? Just like Tang Nian! ”

"Come on, come on, I just ordered two bottled beers, everyone quenched their thirst, and discussed ...... together"

"In a word, you helped Lao Wan and me through this difficulty, and in the next three years, as long as I signed the anti-Japanese drama, we brothers, it was the first choice!"

Lao Wan took advantage of the situation to cheer up, and more than 20 'little devils' finally regained their momentum.

"Tang Nian, you wilted goods, you have a good brain, analyze and analyze us, what do you think?"

Everyone took advantage of the situation to drink to relieve their fatigue, and some self-motivated young people humbly asked Tang Nian.

The cold beer that had just been taken out of the refrigerator was drunk coldly, and the heat in his heart dissipated, Tang Nian was in a trance for a moment, and said: "Actually, when we are group performers, we all want to act, so we have to figure out the director's thoughts...... We are not the protagonists, we are not even the tricks we participate in, of course we can't have a script in our hands, let alone the director who took the initiative to tell us about the drama and the sub-scenes...... However, those rookie actors who have just come out of school, you don't care how they get on the throne, whether they talk to the director every night or what, they are the protagonists in this play, then we have to follow others, this director may usually like to watch anti-Japanese dramas, and the people who filmed before are tired of watching it, so we have to change our thinking and think of some new tricks......"

"But, in our play, the protagonists are all men!"

The upright guy from He Nan who just asked, with a word, stunned Tang Nian there, and there was a burst of laughter in the crowd.

"Actually, men, you can also talk to the director at night, in this society, who doesn't have a special ...... Phew, what about a normal hobby...... Don't worry about that, let's get back to it, where did I just go? ”

"Hahahaha......"

In the crowd, there was a louder burst of laughter, because the upright young man just now still had a vague face, which amused everyone at once.

Tang Nian touched his head and said helplessly: "I pondered, those shocking scenes in the anti-Japanese dramas in the past were not enjoyable or exciting enough, so this time, let's just get some unreasonable shots, whether he is scientific or not, as long as he can be on the camera, can steal the scene, and can show his face, he can do it no matter what, as long as the director nods, you say, isn't it?" When a knife comes at you, you screamed and crawled to the ground and died, but now you can vomit blood three feet away and fly out upside down and die...... In the past, people asked group performances not to steal the show, just pretend to be stupid, we can show off a high IQ, who said that little devils have to be born with brains to be the most real? We can all change the angle, come to the opposite side, and do the opposite ...... Uh, why are you all here! ”

Unconsciously, a large group of people surrounded them, each holding a beer bottle in their hands, their eyes were bright, and Tang Nian almost bit off the wine bottle.

"Oops!"

The upright guy just now slapped his head and said hatefully: "Why didn't I think of it? Since people said when filming started, they wanted to shoot a legendary anti-Japanese drama, how can they follow the standards of the previous dramas, I have an idea! ”

"I also have an idea, this idea is what I thought of in combination with martial arts films...... "Another 'little devil' has opened his mind."

"I thought of it too, I promise I ...... it" Another guy's eyes began to flicker.

"According to you, my creativity is like a urine collapse, and it is about to flow out! No, I can't hold it back......" After saying that, the guy went straight to the corner of the street, and released his inspiration with a 'bang'.

"Hey, being an actor really has to be a brain!"

After Tang Nian's reminder, everyone's ideas were spread, and after drinking a meal, everyone came up with a lot of amazing ideas, and some of them heard Lao Wan, the senior assistant director of the anti-Japanese drama, praising them again and again.

"Let's go, let's kill back! This time, let's play a big game and make the first anti-Japanese drama! ”

When everyone was almost rested, the bald old man waved his hand, and more than 20 'little devils' followed him to the filming site.

……

A certain costume thunder TV crew, filming scene.

Tang Nian was huddled in a large number of group performances after changing clothes, listening to a fat-headed and big-eared assistant director talking about precautions.

"You guys have paid attention to me, later, I'm going to shoot a rich young master riding on the streets, turning the world upside down, this is a big show, you all cheer me up, whoever dares to destroy the props, I will deduct whose money! Don't think that this 100 yuan is easy to earn, if you feel hard, you can go to the second phase of the expansion to move bricks, which is guaranteed to make you comfortable! Listen to me, you, you guys, you're going to throw the buns on the stall high later, so that the camera ......"

Soon, the fat-headed and big-eared assistant director finished speaking, and when he saw that everyone was silent, he left satisfied.

"Damn, such a slamming assistant director, this is a poor crew! At noon, I couldn't even see a green vegetable, and with the reflection of logistics, people directly took out a bottle of bean paste! ”

"Hey, I'm also drunk, I've been with me for the second week, there was an indoor play last week, in an antique courtyard, the protagonist played the scene of eating the overlord's meal, I have a buddy I know, stepped on a prop plate more, and was deducted ten yuan, he quit on the spot, and found the group leader to settle the money for the play, and boycotted the show directly......"

"Then why do you still want to come here?"

"Didn't I hear that this rookie crew is going to make a cameo appearance as a big star? Actually, I have another identity, my real identity, which is a great ......."

"Attention units, filming has started, and the extras are in place!"

Suddenly, the voice of the assistant director came from the speaker, and many extras dispersed in a hurry, leaving only the one who had the most words just now, his mouth opened and closed, and said, "Actually, I'm a paparazzi reporter...... Damn, I listened to Lao Tzu! ”

Saying that, he also hurried to the shooting scene.

Tang Nian stood on the side of the street, guarding a fruit stall, dressed like a peasant from the countryside going into the city to sell his own fruits, standing there expressionlessly, without any thoughts of paying attention to the camera.

This is actually the first day that Tang Nian ended the scene of "Meng Jiangnu" and officially set foot in the extras, but Tang Nian quickly adapted to the cruel reality.

In the morning, because of Lao Liu's introduction, he entered the crew of an anti-Japanese drama, and followed a second-generation coal who pursued addiction for a morning, and finally presented the idea of hanging the god shot.

At ten o'clock in the morning, he ended his role in the drama, and he followed another crew and pretended to be a dead corpse in it.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Tang Nian followed a crew and acted as a city guard soldier in the footage of entering the city gate in the costume of sixteen articles for half an hour, which may be completely out of focus in the later stage.

The current group performance is the first day that Tang Nian stepped into the extras, and the next seventh scene.

I have to say that Hengdu Film and Television City is really big, he went around seven scenes, and he didn't meet the group performances who acted together before, and even the professional and senior 'little devil' group performances that he was most familiar with in the morning, he didn't see a single one.

I really don't know how to adjust this, how their group leaders can reasonably match so many extras, so that everyone can basically work every day and eat......

"Let's go!"

The sound of a board woke up Tang Nian, and he saw a guy riding a tall horse (actually a castrated stallion) flash out of the city gate, his expression was arrogant, his face was hideous, and he laughed wantonly......

"Oops!"

Suddenly, the stallion stumbled, and the rich boy fell off the horse, screamed a few times, and rolled on the ground a few times, to the fruit stall of the Tang Dynasty.

For a moment, Tang Nian was stunned.

Is this a new plot after a temporary change? Why don't you speak to the group in advance?

This...... How should he react? According to the assistant director's previous arrangement, the fruit stand was overturned to show the arrogance of the character? Or is it better to improvise yourself and let out a few frightened screams...... No, more infectious?

Still is...... No, this guy is bleeding from his nose, is it really an accident?

"What are you still doing in a daze, what about the medical staff, hurry up and let me go up and take a look! Someone, call me 110...... If something really goes wrong, you all fuck me off, do you know this scene, but it's ...... that my uncle filmed."

The director reacted immediately, his face was pale with fright, and he yelled there helplessly, while the assistant director behind him, wiping sweat on his forehead, hurriedly commanded the staff to step forward......

……

At seven o'clock in the evening, Tang Nian had dinner early, squatted at an intersection, and waited for the arrival of the new life with fifty or sixty group performances.

After seven o'clock, the weather is cool, and many crews like to go to the streets to find extras temporarily at this point to make up for the progress delayed during the day. In a word, hot weather and evening are a great time to catch the show.

At this time, a car slowly drove to the intersection, and under the gaze of everyone, a person who looked like the assistant director of a certain crew, with a wide face, was not tall, wore short sleeves, and walked out of the car with a hat.

"Ahem, the crew of "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" needs thirty extras......"

"Coax!" Before this person could finish speaking, fifty or sixty group performers all gathered around and started talking.

"Director, do you think I can do it, I'm a senior costume actor, and my pretending skills are first-class!"

"Director, look at me, I'm a real man who has participated in twelve costume crews!"

"Director, Director, Director......"

"Director......

The wide-faced assistant director was taken aback, and after taking two steps back, he realized that he was holding the right to choose, so he said with confidence: "You can't do it, you're too thin!" You can't either, you're too fat! You're too tall! You don't have a hair ......."

Soon, the assistant director selected a candidate and took more than 30 extras to his crew.

It wasn't until the group was far away that Tang Nian turned around, and he was stunned for a moment, because Lao Chen was actually standing there.

Well, Lao Chen didn't leave in the end, and under the persuasion of Lao Liu and others, he temporarily compromised and became the chief lawyer of Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop.

In fact, he is a professional lawyer, and Lao Liu naturally wants Lao Chen to stay.

Because Lao Chen withdrew from the shares, everyone agreed that 5% of each person's acting remuneration would be counted as Lao Chen's salary, not less than 6,000 per month, and if Lao Chen insisted on leaving at the end of the year, it would be better to gather and disperse, and no longer retain.

Lao Chen, who was completely idle, had more time to think, and after finishing the agreement signed by Lao Song and others and the crew every day, he walked around the film and television city.

I've been here for many years, and the place is very familiar, but if I really leave, I'm still a little reluctant.

"Xiao Tang, how do you feel about being an extras on this first day?"

Approaching, Lao Chen asked with a smile.

"Feeling...... I feel very unsure...... As an extra, in fact, you can never see it, it's like an invisible wall, blocking the way for most group performers to climb up! ”

At the end of the day, Tang Nian was also a little tired, but he also thought more.

Like an extras all day long, it looks like I've acted in a lot of scenes, but which of these scenes will appear on TV? And even when they do, they're just backgrounds, never to be remembered, and then day by day until they leave here......

There will never be a bright future, because those opportunities have long been occupied by the upper echelons who have brought money to build the crew.

"Hehe, you understand this, it's good! I have always told you, you are so lucky, you can be the protagonist when you first enter the industry, or a big director's play, so many powerful actors play against you, coincidence is actually fate! ”

Speaking of these, Lao Chen still had a trace of unwillingness in his eyes.

"Opportunities don't always come there, I don't know right now, where is my next opportunity? Whether it's a group performance or not, in fact, I understand that my acting skills are very flawed, and not every role can be played well. It's like I have a scene in the afternoon, I simply pretend to be a dead corpse, because there is a deviation from the death method designed by Wu Zhi, I can't grasp how the sword passes through the right shoulder, and the body falls to the ground, NG three times, and finally replaced......"

Speaking of this, Tang Nian was indeed a little unwilling, but his weird dream ability was not omnipotent, and he would not give him any hints.

There was only one strange dream from night to night, which made him a little miserable.

"Opportunity? In fact, you should be able to really feel that those opportunities were intercepted by the people above long before you saw them, they exchanged things with each other, controlled the entire entertainment industry, and grassroots newcomers without a background could not get ahead. You have an accident now because of Director Zhang, but whether you can really grow up depends on whether you can grasp every opportunity in the future and whether you can make your foundation more abundant......"

"I understand! So, I'm going to start with the extras! Tang Nian clenched his fists.

"Actually, you can wait a few more months, and after the release of "Meng Jiangnu", you will naturally have more opportunities!" Lao Chen comforted.

"Nope! You should know that I robbed that Xiao Yitao's play, he has such a background, naturally he won't let me pass so easily, no one notices me when "Meng Jiangnu" is released, forget it, but if someone notices me, then he will definitely cut off all my ways! So, how do I break through this resistance, and what resources do I have that can help me? The answer is actually right in front of me, there are so many extras, everyone has a great dream of being an actor, if I can stand out from the most basic extras and let them all know that there is a Tang Year here, then I will stand still and be able to overcome any obstacles! ”

"What if you can't?"

"There is no such if!"

In the face of Lao Chen's vacillation and lack of confidence, Tang Nian said in a resolute tone, if he can't even get through this difficulty, then he should really consider it and return to his old business.
