0003 [Found the starring role]

As an extras drifting in Hengdian, Shao Shuaijun has experienced more than half a year and has also met a lot of Hengpiao. From the photographic equipment rental shop, two high-definition DV cameras were rented, and Shao Shuaijun went to the other side of the village chief to find Liu Sanxi. Liu Sanxi is a group leader, and the group leader is the head of the extras.

Many people have dreams and plunge into Hengdian, looking forward to being selected by a great director and soaring to the sky. When I arrived in Hengdian, I realized that things were different from what I imagined, the extras here were strictly hierarchical, and they didn't allow anything to soar into the sky at all. The director needs actors, and he will look for them through the group head, and then release the group head to the group actors under him.

There are also four levels of group performances, 50 yuan a day for general extras, 80 yuan a day for special actors, 150 yuan a day for special actors, and 200 yuan a day for peripheral martial arts. Shao Shuaijun is currently the lowest-level extra, and his acting career in his previous life has always been a special actor, and then changed to field work.

Liu Sanxi happened to be at home, and when he saw Shao Shuaijun, he shouted directly: "Where has your kid died these days, several crews are looking for group performances, and I don't have enough manpower, why don't you come, don't you want to make money?" "He is a native of Hengdian, after building the film and television city, he got a demolition fee, he stopped farming, his wife opened a commissary, he led people to mix group performances, belonged to a group leader, and gathered dozens of group performances under his hands.

"Brother Xi, I've changed careers." Shao Shuaijun smiled, he still has a lot of respect for Liu Sanxi. The group leader is not a likable identity, especially many group leaders like to deduct the salary of the group performers, and even beat and scold the group performers at every turn, ruining a lot of sideways dreams. Although Liu Sanxi also likes to take advantage of small advantages, he is still kind to his subordinates, like Shao Shuaijun when he first came, he didn't know anyone and couldn't find a job, so he was taken in by Liu Sanxi.

"What's the matter?"

"I'm going to be a director, I'm going to borrow a few actors from you today!"

"You kid didn't take the wrong medicine, did you have a fever? You are the director, unless Brother Xi and I open a film company, the old ghost will invest in you. ”

"Don't blow it, I'm really going to be a director. You don't know, I recently wrote a script, and Director Zhang Yimou took a fancy to it, and I bought it for hundreds of thousands. With money, of course, you have to make your own movies. ”

"Really...... Okay, you kid, Director Zhang has taken a fancy to the script you wrote, hey, okay. However, are you sure that you can make movies and you can't afford film, right? Liu Sanxi held a cigarette and was skeptical.

"You don't care, I don't need film for DV, hurry up and help inform Anan, Sishui, and Zebra...... Come and audition. My movie is very simple, I can shoot it in a week, and I pay 5,000 yuan! Anyone who comes to audition, regardless of whether he succeeds or not, can get a subsidy of 100 yuan. Shao Shuaijun waved his hand, feeling that he was a director, and his confidence was different.

"If you're not afraid of compensation, I'll call someone for you." Liu Sanxi suddenly rubbed his palms, "But, what, what kind of actor are you looking for in this movie, you see if Brother Xi is qualified, Brother Xi and I have been mixed for more than three years, and I have nothing to say about ...... acting skills."

I heard that there was a subsidy of 100 yuan, and it was still the leading role of the audition movie, Anan and the others didn't care whether it was true or not, and ran over after receiving a call from Liu Sanxi. Counting Liu Sanxi, a total of seven people squeezed into Shao Shuaijun's rental house. These people are all Shao Shuaijun's group performances according to his own impression in later generations, and he thinks he has acting skills.

Celebrities can't afford to be invited, so they can only make up the numbers with group performances.

"Give you ten minutes, imagine you're in a coffin, you can't see your fingers, no one answers. If the space is small and it is difficult to breathe, what kind of reaction should I have in this situation? After saying the request, Shao Shuaijun began to fiddle with the rented camera. The director, screenwriter, lighting engineer, cinematographer, prop master, and electrician of this film will all be served by himself. All you need to do is hire a makeup artist to touch up the main character's makeup.

The first person to audition was Anan, the camera was aiming, Anan's body immediately stiffened, he was short of breath, and he covered his neck with his hands with his mouth open......

"Cards! Anan, you have to know that although you are locked in a coffin, no one throws gas bombs into it, okay...... Next! ”

The second audition was Sishui, who learned Anan's lesson, pretended to stare at it, as if he was scared, and opened his mouth to shout a few times.

"Cards! Although you are very scared, please be dedicated, I am going to act in a movie here, not a stage play, can your expression be a little more restrained, are you a ghost or an evil? Next! ”

There were six people in a row, and their performance in front of the camera was unqualified, and only Liu Sanxi was left.

"Brother Xi, try to behave as naturally as possible, it's up to you to do the last stick."

"Can you wait, I'm a little nervous, hey, forget it, Brother Xi, I can't perform." Liu Sanxi was directly deflated under Shao Shuaijun's professional aura.

Painfully took out 700 yuan and sent away the group performance, Shao Shuaijun grabbed his hair in distress. In his memory, Anan and several others were all supporting roles who became famous later, and their acting skills were speechless, and they could show their faces in many movies and TV series. But now it seems that they are still too young to show the kind of atmosphere that attracts people to watch.

It's a one-man show, and without atmosphere, it will fall into dullness.

"What should I do, I only have 150,000 now, after removing the cost, what actor can I hire for 100,000 yuan! The value of mainland actors has always been inflated, their acting skills are not very good, and their salaries are outrageously high! There are a lot of low-paid actors in Hong Kong, but I can't go to Hong Kong to find an actor, right? ”

The dream is plump, and the reality is skinny.

Shao Shuaijun suddenly agreed with this statement, it is 2004, not the future, you can take the money of investors and generally cast a net to pick stars.

Looking at the bitter face in the mirror, Shao Shuaijun shook his head in annoyance. At this moment of shaking his head, a flash of inspiration, Shao Shuaijun felt that although the expression on his face, although green, but the panic in his eyes, actually matched the expression of Green Lantern in his memory (Ryan Reynolds later played Green Lantern).

"That's right, others can't act, I can play it myself! I've seen the original movie, honed on the set over the years, and my acting skills are not bad. With a little makeup and these eyes, you might be able to grasp the charm! ”

Just do it when you think of it, Shao Shuaijun turned on the camera, came to the camera himself, and took a deep breath. Begin to fantasize that you are the kidnapped driver, in a deep and narrow coffin, despair and fear. The original footage appeared in my mind, superimposed on my previous life in the entertainment industry, and my body began to tremble slowly......

Ten minutes later, Shao Shuaijun walked out of the immersive atmosphere and called up the camera feed. On the screen, Shao Shuaijun was slapping around in fear, trying to find a way out, but he couldn't find a way out at all, so he could only grope in the narrow coffin, with the expression on his face helpless, panicked, excited, and aggrieved.

"That's the effect!"

Shao Shuaijun secretly clenched his fists, "Buried Alive" itself is about a lonely social relationship, which is essentially similar to Shao Shuaijun's experience in his previous life. He easily grasped this feeling, and the atmosphere was created quite well.

"Okay, the starring role is myself, well, this face is still too immature, I have to find a better makeup artist......"
