Chapter 1 The Little Prince of Hengdian
"Kill!"
On the battlefield, the whimpering two sides of the people and horses were staggered together, Wen Taishi, who represented the Yin Shang side, and Jiang Ziya, who represented the Western Zhou side, looked ahead and controlled the battle situation, about seven or eight minutes, and the soldiers on both sides fell a large piece, He Mu was lucky, he belonged to the standing, so he had to wave the weapons in his hands vigorously to show the strong combat effectiveness of the Yin Shang soldiers.
"Click!" Seeing that the fight was almost over, Jin Guochao, the director of the TV series "Fengshen Bang", shouted in time, this battlefield confrontation scene was filmed five or six times, and this time it was okay, now it's noon, it's time to rest, Hengdian in August is hot, and there are two group performances suffering from heat stroke just now.
"Dekai, it's time to eat." Director Jin called Liu Dekai (as Jiang Ziya) and a group of actors of all sizes to go back to the hotel for dinner, and hundreds of extras in the open space who were dressed in stubbornness and perseverance also took off their armor and prepared to receive a boxed lunch, and the afternoon scene was the rivalry between Zhou Jie (as Ji Fa) and Liu Dekai in the military tent, and there was no need for so many group performances, so they had to find other jobs in the afternoon.
He Mu is a very eye-catching one in the group performance, not only because he is handsome and extraordinary, but more importantly, he is different from those tired group performances, he is always smiling, his eyes are full of light, even if the unpalatable box lunch can be chewed with relish, he is an excellent embodiment of vitality and invincibility, you can't see fatigue and fatigue in his eyes, all you can see is his love for performance and his vision for the future.
This is He Mu, a young man who has been in the group performance industry for more than a year and calls himself the "Little Prince of Hengdian".
After receiving the boxed lunch, He Mu walked through the layers of crowds and came to Chang Dabao's side, and Brother Bao called him an intimacy.
Chang Dabao is a senior group performer, when Hengdian Cinema was just built on a large scale in the 90s, Chang Dabao, who was still an ordinary local farmer, started his group performance road, which was ten years, and the land at home was no longer planted. If you look closely, we can see Chang Dabao's figure in well-known film and television works such as "Jing Ke's Assassination of King Qin", "Hero", "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", "Dragon Babu" (Zhang Jizhong version) and other well-known film and television works, although there are only a few shots, at most one or two lines, but this is already very envious of He Mu.
After doing a group performance for a few years, Chang Dabao, who is quite business-minded, gathered a group of extras who took root in Hengdian but had no way, and turned into one of the several major group leaders in Hengdian Cinema.
is such a "big man" with hundreds of people under his command, and whenever there is a scene to film, he always has to run a trick, in his words: Brother Bao is not for those money, Brother Bao loves performing arts.
Before coming to Hengdian, He Mu followed the crew of the bearded Zhang Jizhong in Xiangshan Cinema to shoot "The Condor Heroes", in this play he played almost ten roles as soldiers, beggars, and Taoist priests, but unfortunately they were all roles without names, a little regrettable, and later he felt that there might be more development opportunities in Hengdian, so he plunged into Hengdian single-handedly, and was arranged by Chang Dabao for a small role on the first day he came, and since then he has become the most handsome and stylish extras under Chang Dabao.
Although the reputation of the group leader is not very good, Chang Dabao is not bad, compared to some group leaders who knock on the bone and suck the marrow, although Brother Bao is also greedy for money, he is very principled, willing to provide accommodation for his group performances, and the commission is not so ruthless, the most important thing is that Chang Dabao has a wide range of people and can provide more performance opportunities, which means that the group performers can make more money.
It's not that He Mu, who values money so much, values those rare acting opportunities more, it would be better if he could have a few lines, maybe he was favored by a certain director like this, and he embarked on a frank star journey from then on.
As soon as He Mu came over, Chang Dabao knew what this kid was going to do, he must be looking for himself to play. Usually looking at this kid's bright clothes, he doesn't look like a master who is short of money, is he as addicted to drama as himself.
"Brother Bao, what about eating," He Mu smiled with a spring breeze on his face, "I've been losing weight recently, why don't you help me solve this piece of meat." He Mu flattered Lu and gave Chang Dabao the only piece of meat in the lunchbox.
"Go, go!" Chang Dabao covered his lunch, "You want to lose weight, don't you need to lose weight when you look at me!" Chang Dabao shook his belly as he spoke, and described it in four words: turbulent!
"Something to say!" Chang Dabao took a bite of food and said bluntly.
"Brother Bao, that's the case, you see I'm so handsome, why don't you arrange a job for me to show my face, of course, it would be better if I had lines." He Mu looked at Chang Dabao expectantly.
"Xiao Mu, didn't I say you, don't you know what the first rule of the Dao Dragon Set is?" Chang Dabao asked matter-of-factly.
"What?" He Mu has been running for so long, and he has never heard of such a rule.
"The first one is: a trick that's more handsome than the protagonist is not a good trick," Chang Dabao said with a smile, "Don't be complacent, I'm not praising you, a handsome guy is probably not as good as an old man like me in the group performance world." According to this principle, you will have a hard time in the dragon world, so I advise you to do something else while you are young, why do you have to spend it in this industry. ”
"Then you always mean that I am more suitable to play the leading role." He Mu's eyes lit up.
He Mu's appearance condition is not bad, and it can even be said that it is very good, and the title of "Little Prince of Hengdian" is not called in vain. Chang Dabao's words just now were to compare him with Zhou Jie, the protagonist of "Fengshen List", obviously he is more handsome and more idol than Zhou Jie, and he also feels that his acting skills have improved greatly after two years of training, and all he lacks is an opportunity.
"Is the protagonist you want to play, and it is rare for those high-achieving students from the Chinese opera to become the leading actors at a young age, and more of them are unknown all their lives, you think you are better than them." Chang Dabao said mercilessly, he just mentioned him a few words for the sake of He Mu, a young man, who was diligent and sensible, as a large group of leaders rooted in Hengdian, he had seen too many young people with star dreams entering this circle without a head or brain, and they ended up with nothing, including many boys who were more handsome and shrewd than He Mu.
Chang Dabao said that he Mu went in one ear and went out in one ear, it wasn't that he couldn't listen to the advice of the old-timers, but he had his own plans. He loves acting and is eager to become a shining star, but he also knows how difficult this road is, not all group performances can become Wang Baoqiang, timing and luck are sometimes very important, so he set a goal for himself, if he is twenty-four years old and he has not been able to play a role within the fifth male in a film and television drama, then he will roll up and go back to his hometown, get married and marry his daughter-in-law, and then break this thought.
After Chang Dabao finished speaking, He Mu also finished the boxed lunch, and asked again with a shy face: "Then can you give me a role that shows my face, and I can do it without lines." ”
Chang Dabao was depressed, he thought for a while and said, "The arrangement for the afternoon is to pretend to be a dead corpse, count you in." ”
"Can you lie down?"
"No, lie on your stomach! Face down. "Chang Dabao wanted not to let you show your face.
After eating, Chang Dabao selected dozens of group performances to bring to the crew of "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" (He Rundong Version) next door, which naturally included the active He Mu, and they would collectively "die" in more than an hour, although this kind of scene was unlucky, it was much easier than the war scene in the morning.
He Mu saw that the drama manager was directing a few laborers to arrange the scene, so he obediently ran over to help, hoping to get in touch with the drama manager, and then open up the door of the assistant director, if he could give him a role with lines in front of the director, it would be better.
It's a pity that He Mu's flattery was all thrown to the blind man, and the drama management didn't have any gratitude at all, but instead treated him as a coolie for the set, and shouted at him vigorously, "Hurry up, don't rub", which made He Mu not depressed, he had done this kind of stupid thing many times before, but he would still show his diligence in front of the crew over and over again with a fluke mentality, Chang Dabao saw it in his eyes, although he was smiling, his heart was a little sour.
In the end, Chang Dabao still let He Mu show his face as he wished, and let him lie on the ground as a dead corpse, He Mu, who had his eyes closed, felt that the camera seemed to have a close-up of him, which made his heart beat a little faster, but he still held on and did not show any flaws, even if the corpse was a corpse, he had to act professionally in place, which was one of the creeds of the dragon actor He Mu.
After the "dead corpse" scene, He Mu and others changed into other costumes to shoot a few live scenes, but the camera just swept by, and there was no room to play.
After all the scenes were over, Chang Dabao began to lead his team to leave, today is considered to be the time to finish work relatively early, of course, if there is a night scene at night, Chang Dabao and his team on call will still appear on the set on time.
He Mu didn't leave behind Chang Dabao's buttocks, and Chang Dabao didn't ask He Mu to go with him, he was used to He Mu always mixing in the crowd after every finish to see how those real actors filmed, he said that he was learning their acting skills, as a non-professional actor with no performance opportunities, he could only rely on his usual observation and speculation to accumulate his acting skills.
In the residence provided by Chang Dabao, he also often performs in front of his group actors, he can instantly enter Ma Jingtao's roaring mode, and he can also imitate Huang Xiaoming with his chin up and pretend to be handsome, of course, Zhou Jie's "looking up at the sky and showing his nostrils" is more difficult to grasp in the way of expressing the complex feelings and deep psychology of the characters, He Mu said that he has been learning.
The sky gradually darkened, and our little prince of Hengdian, He Mu, was also ready to go back to rest, and bought a piece of flatbread and meat on the way, which was considered dinner.
Back in his five-square-meter cabin, He Mu took out a mobile phone from under the quilt, and then lay down.
He never brought his mobile phone when he went out to act, this habit originated from the fact that when he was an extras for the first time, a buddy rang his mobile phone because of filming, and then he was severely criticized by the assistant director and the group leader, and never appeared in the crew again.
There were five or six missed calls on the mobile phone, a text message, the phone calls were all from Li Wenhua, and the text messages were also sent by him, and the content was very short: Call me immediately when you see the text message, something!
From eleven o'clock in the morning to five o'clock in the afternoon, almost every hour, it seems that he is really in a hurry, He Mu did not delay, and directly reversed back.
