At half past five in the evening, Ding Yang set off from home to his husband, and he and Li Ye made an appointment to wait for the play together at night.

The Screen Actors Guild is customarily called the Old Guild. The old man is in Dazhi Street, next to Dazhi Temple, which was built in the Nanliang period. It is the most famous Buddhist resort in Hengdian.

Now the actors' union has moved to Huaxia Garden, and the old union here only keeps the sign and usually does not open the door. There are extras waiting for the play, all in the nearby canteen or at the door. The commissary is not small, with two pool tables, several mahjong tables, and a TV in the corner.

There are not many people waiting for the play at night, only about 20 people, three or two people are playing billiards, three or two people are playing poker, and the rest are watching TV.

Ding Yang and Li Ye just met, and after a few words of greeting, suddenly the mobile phone buzzed, which was the vibration sound of the text message he specially tuned, and the text message was sent by Kong Jiu: "At 6:30 in the evening, the group of "Counterattack Tokyo", the old union gathered, and if you can't come, you will reply." ”

After reading the text message, although it was not the first time for a long time, Ding Yang was a little excited, and there was an announcement so soon. However, Li Ye's mobile phone didn't move, and after ten minutes, Ding Yang asked, "Li Ye, didn't Kong Jiu send you a text message?" ”

"No, did you send it to you?"

"Well, inform me to wait here at half past six and go to the crew of "Counterattack Tokyo"."

"Alas, I really envy you, someone reported you on the first day." Li Ye's tone was a little sour.

Ding Yang didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only say, "Maybe wait a little longer, and he will send it to you." ”

This time, the wait was an hour, and several buses came and picked up a lot of people. But there was no group leader to recruit people on the spot, at around 6:35, the bus of the crew of "Counterattack Tokyo" also came, and Ding Yang saw Kong Jiu sitting in the co-pilot, stretched out his head and shouted: "Counterattack the Tokyo crew, get on the bus." ”

The four people who were playing poker put away the poker and got into the car with Ding Yang. It turns out that they are also from the crew of "Counterattack Tokyo".

Li Ye watched Ding Yang get into the car, his expression was a little lonely, and Ding Yang didn't know how to comfort him. I had the heart to help him mention it to Kong Jiu, but he couldn't open his mouth, since he didn't send a text message to Li Ye, he definitely didn't want him. Besides, Ding Yang didn't know Kong Jiu very well, so why should people give you face.

"Then I'll go first!"

"Well, you go, I'm going back."

The bus started and left the old union. The first scene in Ding Yang's life is coming.

"Counterattack on Tokyo" is a war drama, mainly about: In 1941, the Pacific War broke out, the Japanese front was tightened, the Japanese puppet government's regime in the mainland collapsed, and the remnants fled back to Tokyo with a large number of Chinese treasures. In order to recapture the treasure, the 3rd Field Army of China continued to advance southward. Wang Tianli (played by Li Youbing) is the sixth regiment of the independent division is the main force of the operation, due to the lack of experience in maritime combat and a regular navy, more than 9,000 officers and soldiers all died at the bottom of the sea. Wang Tianli, who was lucky to survive, changed his name to Wang Zhankui after his friend in order not to forget this painful history. After the victory to resist US aggression and aid Korea, Wang Zhankui was transferred to the command of Lu Xingquan (Du Zhiguo), the newly formed naval political commissar, and officially changed from an army officer to a deputy commander of the navy. During this time, he married the beautiful female military doctor Xu Jin (played by Zheng Weili), and in the next few years, this iron-clad man was brave and brave, trained into a lion in a hundred battles, and finally counterattacked Tokyo and recaptured all the national treasures......

This drama is adapted from Zhai Xiao's original book "Crossing the Sea". The director is Zhao Junkai, starring You Yong, Li Youbing, Du Zhiguo, Zheng Weili, etc.

The promotional slogan of this TV series is: "Bright Sword" sister chapter, but after Ding Yang watched it, he felt that "Bright Sword" had nothing to do with it, but who made "Bright Sword" so popular, since Teacher Li Youbing participated, it was inevitable that it would be taken out to stimulate consumption.

This time and space also has World War II and the Japanese fascist war of aggression against China, but due to the great increase in China's national strength, it did not last long to defeat the invading army, and the Japanese government ceded land and paid reparations and took the initiative to sign an armistice agreement.

The bus soon arrived at Queen Street, everyone got off, Ding Yang also saw the filming crew, several commercial vehicles parked outside at random, and then a large number of people gathered together, some built sheds, some had vertical rocker arms, and some people carried cabinets and other props across the avenue.

Busy.

Ding Yang was mixed in with the group of special actors, and he didn't look around like others, he was used to it in his previous life.

"The masses and the crowd have all come over and asked the boss for their names." Kong Jiu stopped everyone from running around and made everyone come together.

Soon, a fat man with a big belly came over to take the roll call, and after the roll call, he explained to Kong Jiu: "You look at them, I will leave first if I have something." ”

Waiting for the boss to leave, Kong Jiu ran to the crew, and after a few minutes, he came over with a middle-aged man with glasses and a girl.

The girl is about seventeen or eighteen years old, her eyebrows are picturesque, and she is indescribably beautiful.

smiled slightly, and his eyes were bent like crescent moons, as if the spirit had overflowed. Between the smiles, the noble look is naturally revealed, and people have to marvel at her elegant and delicate light. I felt that there seemed to be a light cage of smoke beside this woman, and she was really not a person in the world......

Of course, everyone's eyes never took their eyes off her, and the man with glasses next to her was automatically ignored.

Others turned a blind eye to the man with glasses, but Kong Jiu didn't, and smiled flatteringly: "Director Wei, the actors are all here." ”

The man with glasses glanced at it, and his tone was very arrogant: "Xiaojing took the crowd to change clothes, and the group came with me." ”

The girl Xiaojing took the extras away in the eyes of everyone all the way, all of whom were not tall and ordinary-looking. The remaining dozen or so group members, including Ding Yang, followed the glasses man to the other side.

Ordinary newcomers definitely don't know the difference between the masses and the crowd, but Ding Yang knows this very well.

Extras are living props, there are no requirements for acting appearance, there is generally no lens, at most a back or silhouette, and don't think about the lines. 40 yuan per day, 8 hours, plus 5 yuan for one hour after overtime, and there is an overnight fee for more than 12 o'clock at night, plus 10 yuan for one hour. Get up before 5 o'clock in the morning to film, and there is an early fee of 10 yuan an hour.

Qun special actors, there are a little requirements for height and appearance, just a little acting skills, there is a very small chance of having one or two lines, 70 to 90 yuan per day, the same 8 hours of work, 10 yuan for one hour after overtime, and others are similar to the masses.

Special contracts are also divided into grades, ordinary small special, no lines or a few short lines, starting from 150 yuan per day, working 12 hours.

A little higher is Zhongte, ranging from 300 yuan to 800 yuan, with a few lines. Further up is the big special, basically 800 yuan a day, like the kind of middle-aged and elderly people with specialties, such as long white beards, etc., can even get one or two thousand a day.

Of course, Mandarin should be good, and the image should also be good, and when it comes to Da Te, the working hours are generally calculated according to the number of episodes, and the money for a few episodes is taken for a few episodes.

In addition, there is also a kind of group performance, which is called group actors. The actors with the group are to run with the crew of a play, where the crew needs to act, the actors with the group generally have a salary of two or three thousand a month, and the crew eats and lodging, but they must ensure that they are on call.

Other miscellaneous, shaving the head from 10 yuan; Makeup starts from 5 yuan, and blood is 10 yuan to 30 yuan; 30 yuan for beating; Lifting a sedan car starts from 10 yuan; Carry the coffin and wear filial piety from 5 yuan; Lying on the ground with water starts from 10 yuan; Play as a prostitute. Doubling of women's wages; Opening fee from 30 yuan; The make-up fee is 5 yuan; The opening fee is 30 yuan. The crew of the dead man has to pack red envelopes, ranging from 1 yuan to 10 yuan.

The crew is transferred to the group, and it is counted as a day's salary. The crew canceled filming, and it was counted as half a day if they didn't change their costumes, but one day if they changed their costumes.

Supplementary meals: 5 yuan for breakfast, 5 yuan for lunch, 10 yuan for dinner.

If you do the masses and the masses all the year round, you can only solve the problem of food and clothing, and if you want to get ahead, you have to run a special contract. In his previous life, Ding Yang didn't know this, he fooled around for more than a year before he started running special contracts, but unfortunately he didn't get any fame.
