It is said that when God closes a door for you, he will open a window for you.

Xu Hao, who was a group special in the crew of "Sniper", still has some regrets, there is no special contract to continue to run, but even if he plays a group special, he has to work hard to play well, not because he once ran a special contract, he is arrogant and looks down on the group special.

Today he plays a little soldier of the Red Army, wearing a tattered prop uniform, fighting with the troops. When he was resting, the other groups were busy chatting and playing with their mobile phones, so Xu Hao took out a sketchbook and a 2B pencil from the bag he brought with him for clothes, and began to sketch.

Sitting on a rock, looking around, the busy crew, and the buildings by the mountains and rivers.

Pick up the pen and compose the picture slowly, wanting to draw a busy filming picture. The crew is so big, there must be trade-offs, Xu Hao carefully observed, wanted to find the best scenery, and put together a picture.

Xu Hao may not remember a small poem by Bian Zhilin.

"Broken Chapters".

"You're standing on the bridge and looking at the scenery."

"The people watching the scenery are watching you from upstairs."

He was trying to find the best scenery for the crew, but he didn't know that he had also become a landscape. The tattered clothes, the black-gray face, the frowning and contemplative forehead, the slightly thin shoulders, and the large stone under the buttocks make up a picture with a unique charm.

……

In the small shed holding a parasol, director Liu Jiankui and the executive director were chatting about something.

Liu Jiankui said: "I feel that there are too many battle scenes in our movie, and there are some other elements to embellish. ”

"Director, what do you mean?" Executive Director asked.

Liu Jiankui said: "The whole script gives me the feeling that it is too hard, and it pays too much attention to the process of the Red Army's Long March from the aspect of war, which is a bit clichéd, and I want something different." ”

"In what ways is it different?"

"Use your brains and help me think about it."

The executive director's face darkened, he is just an executive director, responsible for arranging various shooting work, this kind of thinking about the content should be done by the director and screenwriter. However, the director had an order, and the executive director could only obey it, and began to rack his brains to think about what aspects he wanted to express the difference.

Suddenly, the executive director saw Xu Hao, who was sitting on a big rock not far away, writing and drawing.

From his point of view, Xu Hao, who was wearing tattered Red Army clothes, was not special, but when he picked up paper and pen and began to write and draw, it constituted a very impactful picture.

Table xiàn something different?

What's different about the Long March?

In the past film and television dramas, the theme of the Long March was from the military and civilian family, bravely resisting the enemy, and the soldiers were not afraid of difficulties and sacrificed each other, which showed that the 25,000-mile Long March was very bitter and great. That's how "Sniper" came about.

However, the director needs something different, what is different?

Is the spiritual life of the Red Army soldiers on the Long March a different thing? Everyone has hobbies, some people like to dance, some people like to sing, and some people like to draw. Even ordinary Red Army soldiers, do they only have to fight, and if they fight again, they have no other hobbies?

Thinking of this, the executive director suddenly shouted confidently: "Director." ”

"What's the idea?" Liu Jiankui asked.

The executive director stretched out his hand and pointed at Xu Hao in the distance: "Director, look." ”

Liu Jiankui followed the executive director's finger and saw Xu Hao who was painting, but he didn't react: "Oh, it's an extra, painting?" What do you want to say, boy? ”

"Director, have you noticed that if there were some young Red Army soldiers on the Long March, like this group performer, they had their own hobbies, writing, and painting, would it be a little more humane? And we can design, the little soldier has no strokes, can only draw on the ground with his hands, and then a pencil head, a piece of paper, can also make a lot of shots. ”

The executive director's words immediately made Liu Jiankui's eyes light up, and he felt that this was a good idea. He said casually: "Well, yes, it's a way, I'll just say that you kid has a flexible brain." This group performance will bring you inspiration, I think he looks good, you call him over to try the play, if it is successful, we will add a little drama. ”

"Okay."

……

Xu Hao draws a jiggle camera with charging soldiers in front of him, surrounded by gunsmoke and busy crowds.

He is happy when he paints, because all the patterns on the paper are sketched according to his heart, free and unrestrained.

However, this happy moment did not last long, and two special people, holding folding benches, came over.

"Brother, what are you drawing?"

Xu Hao had seen these two people, but he didn't know the name: "Paint." ”

One of the special commissioners dressed in the clothes of the common people easily pulled Xu Hao's sketchbook over: "Let me see, what is this drawing, rocker?" Smoke? Fight? Brother, what are you painting, messy, have you studied art? ”

Xu Hao was a little unhappy, pulled the book back, and said casually: "I have learned." ”

"What school did you graduate from? On the play, Nortel or where? ”

"I didn't go to art school, so I studied art."

Another special person wearing a Japanese devil military uniform, with a hint of disdain, said: "It's useless to study art, there is not much in Hengdian, but there are many art students, and you don't see what talent you have when you run a special contract, and it is your ability to act." Look at your unfamiliar face, you're new here, masses? ”

Xu Haoxin said, where did two people who showed their superiority come out of here, and they ran in front of him to show off: "Qunte." ”

The people specially said: "The masses are all the same, they are all living props, brother, let me tell you, come here to act, if you don't run a special contract, there is no interest at all." Instead of putting your mind on painting, learning more about acting is the last word, there are many acting cram schools in Hengdian, brother, do you want to go to further study, buddy has a way. ”

The devil also said: "Don't underestimate the acting class, if you don't learn acting, you can't run the play at all, when we first came, it was also your case, you could only run the masses, because you couldn't perform." When I went to audition, the director didn't like you, but after learning acting, Mr. Zhou passed on a lot of experience to us, and now we only run special contracts. ”

"I have no plans to study acting for the time being." Xu Hao understood as soon as he heard it, these two people worked part-time to sell.

There are many such brokers in Hengdian, who usually run the crew, and then pull some people to practice yoga, learn acting, learn martial arts, etc., and get a lot of commissions for each successful pull.

"Brother, you don't like to perform?" The people sneered and said, "It's not that I'm talking about you, you're just painting here, painting a real flower, and if you don't perform, you still can't get ahead." ”

Xu Hao raised his eyebrows and said funny: "I don't think there's anything wrong with learning to paint, there is always a time when it is useful, and Yiduo is not pressing." ”

"You're wrong." The devil specially looked like "I know better than you", "What do you have to consider now, you just came, your primary purpose is to run into the play, how much is your group performance now, dozens of dollars a day, what is the use." Run for a year, don't run for a month. ”

"There's always a special deal."

"Wrong, special contracts are not so easy to run, it doesn't matter if you don't have acting skills, the director doesn't want you. Do you know that many newcomers from Hengdian have been running for more than half a year, and they are still running the masses, and they have no acting skills and can only be used as props. I've been through this stage of yours, I know what you think, and I think that I have acting skills when I practice, which is so simple. ”

"Even if you don't learn acting, you have entered a film and television acting class, and you know a lot of people, and many celebrities have gone in to learn, and with a little contact, it will be convenient to help you report the play. We are in the acting class, we know a lot of people, and now we are on the top in front of many directors, let's just say that Director Shen and the executive director of our "Sniper" crew, we have all eaten together. ”

Xu Hao stopped his pen and wanted to leave the big stone, these two people were so annoying that he couldn't even draw when he painted.

He doesn't trust the broker's rhetoric, he has been in Hengdian for almost a month, and he has heard more or less that many film and television acting classes are deceitful, looking for a few small supporting roles who have acted, pretending to be a certain teacher to teach students, in fact, he can't learn anything at all.

"If you don't believe us, you're going to suffer sooner or later." The people snorted.

At this moment, Director Shen, the executive director of the crew, walked here, that is, a few steps away, and Director Shen quickly walked to the front.

The two special commissioners seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and laughed like a flower.

"Director Shen."

"Director Shen is good."

While asking Director Shen how to do it, he also glanced at Xu Hao, as if to say, look, we know Director Shen.

Xu Hao didn't know why, but he immediately followed and greeted: "Director Shen." ”

Who knew that Director Shen didn't look at the two special contracts, and asked Xu Hao directly: "Young man, what's your name?" ”

Xu Hao didn't know why Director Shen suddenly came to ask himself, a little suddenly, but he still answered honestly: "Xu Hao." ”

"What were you doing, drawing?"

"Hmm."

"I'll see." Taking the sketchbook, Director Shen glanced at it casually, "Yes, the drawing is very good." Xu Hao, you are a group performer, the director sees that you are good-looking, there is a role he wants you to try, let's go, follow me over to audition. ”

"The director asked me to audition?"

Xu Hao's heart was filled with surprise in an instant, and this kind of good thing of temporarily fanciing an actor to let him audition was actually bumped into by himself.

Hiding his excitement, Xu Hao nodded at the two specials: "I'm sorry, I'll go first, you guys talk slowly." ”

Then, without looking back, he followed Director Shen to the studio.

Only the two special appointments who looked at each other were left, gray and sour, looking at each other, and they were bored.
