Chapter 009: Always Performing

"Shou'an has received news from Beiping that the communist army may cross the river in pursuit."

Hu Jun and the female star walked out of the bungalow side by side, said lines, and passed Xu Hao. The camera lens also followed the figures of the two people, taking Xu Hao with him. While Xu Hao didn't squint, Yu Guang was always looking at the camera, who would have thought that when the camera was facing him, Hu Jun happened to pass by.

At that moment, the front was all blocked.

Fortunately, this shot was not just shot once, but back and forth three or four times, although each shot did not stay on Xu Hao for even a second, but the moment it was crossed, Xu Hao was also included in the lens. This made Xu Hao look a little excited.

Of course, this excitement only lasted for more than ten minutes, and with the repeated shooting of several shots, he had to stand motionless, and in the interval between the restart, Hu Jun and the female star could still sit down and rest, Xu Hao and Ji Xiang and others had to continue to stand, at most standing against the wall.

Tired and panicked.

Aside from the excitement of filming for the first time, there are only two words left: luck.

A scene was filmed for an hour, and it was filmed until half past eleven, and the director said "it's over".

"It's estimated to be more than twelve o'clock tonight, and I can get the overnight fee." Ji Xiang rubbed his sore legs.

"How do you calculate the overnight fee?" Xu Hao shook the military uniform of the Guoming Party, and after wearing it for a long time, he always felt that it was not as comfortable as his own clothes.

"Twelve o'clock, an extra hour adds ten dollars."

"How are the wages calculated here?" Xu Hao checked it from the Internet, but many details are still not so clear.

Ji Xiang took out his mobile phone: "I just copied a salary list from the head of the group, you go to QQ, add friends, and I will send you a message." ”

After adding friends, he received the text, and while the next scene was not arranged, Xu Hao opened the word document and read it. This Hengdian actor's salary list is written in detail.

Extras, 40 yuan per day, 8 hours of work, 5 yuan for one hour after overtime, and 10 yuan for an hour after 12 o'clock at night. Get up before 5 o'clock in the morning to film, and there is an early fee of 10 yuan an hour.

Group special actors, 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.

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 (no in the near future).

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.

"What's the make-up fee?" Xu Hao looked at it and asked for advice.

"It's just that the crew didn't send a car, so let you take a taxi yourself."

"Oh. Was the beating real or fake? ”

"Of course it's a real fight, and the fake fight will pay you back."

"Why is the red envelope of the dead man gone?"

Ji Xiang rolled his eyes: "Because there have been too many anti-Japanese dramas recently, haven't you heard others say, 'Hengdian kills 700 million devils a year, but you can circle the earth twice', there are too many dead devils, dozens or hundreds of scenes are given, and if they are all given red envelopes, the crew can't afford to give them, so this rule is abolished, and everyone can't get it." ”

Xu Hao nodded approvingly: "That's right, watching anti-Japanese dramas, I always feel like watching fantasy novels, there are only more than 100 million people in Little Japan, and they will be wiped out by the Hengdian clan several times a year." Oh yes, and what is this opening fee? ”

"The opening fee is that the opening fee is selected to speak the lines on the spot, and sometimes the director temporarily needs to perform in a group to speak the lines with the protagonist, which is normal."

Xu Hao didn't say anything and continued to look down.

Behind the salary list is the martial arts, there are three kinds of martial arts, the temporary martial arts are basically 100 yuan a day, the peripheral martial arts are roughly the same, maybe a little higher, and there is the beating of the martial arts, 200 yuan a day.

After the martial arts, there are special actors for the masses, which is the so-called running special, and there are requirements for being able to run the special, at least 175cm tall for men, at least 165cm tall for women, and the appearance must be good. 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 500 yuan, with a few lines. Further up is the big special, basically 500 yuan a day, expensive, like the kind of middle-aged and elderly people with special skills, and even can 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.

As the name suggests, the actors with the group are to run with the crew of a play, where the crew needs to act, and the actors with the group generally have a salary of two or three thousand a month, and the crew has food and accommodation, but they must ensure that they are on call.

After reading the salary list, Xu Hao had a clear judgment on Heng Piao's earning ability. It seems that he is not mixed with special actors, and he does the masses and groups all the year round, which is only enough to solve the problem of food and clothing.

"When you get acquainted, go on a special contract immediately."

Xu Hao secretly made a plan.

……

"Lurking Before Dawn" is a newly prepared crew, and it has only been less than three or five days since they came to Hengdian, so the work has not yet entered the track, and the acting is not smooth, and the filming is intermittent. Xu Hao, the Guoming Party, except for filming a scene, no one cared after that.

At first, Xu Hao was a little reserved, embarrassed to walk around, after all, he had already started filming, and if he ran around, he would leave a bad impression of disrespect to the director.

But after waiting for a long time, it was past twelve o'clock, and I didn't see the director pay attention to these extras.

Seeing that other people were running around, those who played cards continued to play cards, those who slept against the wall continued to sleep, Ji Xiang went to watch and play cards, Xu Hao also had no mind to continue to watch the table, anyway, no matter how temperamental the table was, no one would look at it.

He was not interested in playing cards, he was still in high spirits, and he was not interested in sleeping. Simply where there is excitement, where to make up.

"Brother, take a hand." A staff member who was moving props shouted when he saw Xu Hao, who had nothing to do.

Xu Hao saw that the staff member was about to move an old-fashioned telegraph to the Iveco car, but the telegraph was fixed on the table, which was too heavy for him to move alone.

With a gesture, Xu Hao will naturally not be stingy.

Together with the staff, shouting one-two-three, the telegraph was carried to the car. Then he sent the Buddha to the west, and helped him take some of the remaining props to the car together.

After finishing the work, the staff breathed a long sigh of relief, clapped their hands, and said to Xu Hao with a smile: "Brother, thank you." ”

"You're welcome." Xu Hao also shook his sleeves, "Don't use these props?" ”

"Not today...... You wait. The staff hurriedly ran away, and within a few seconds, they came over with two bottles of mineral water and threw a bottle to Xu Hao, "Drink some water, there will be shooting tonight, and I won't be able to go back until two or three o'clock." ”

Xu Hao was indeed a little thirsty, so he turned on the mineral water and drank a few big sips, then leaned on the side of the car and chatted with the staff: "You are in the crew, what profession?" ”

"I'm running errands and hanging under the props group. Meet the Raul River. ”

"Xu Hao, extra." Xu Hao asked curiously, "Rau Erjiang, is this your name?" Sounds strange. ”

"It's strange, it's a little bit like a Chinese name, right, but there are quite a few people with the surname Lao." You're a new actor, I don't think you're like an old drifter. Rauljiang said with a smile.

"How doesn't it look like it?" Xu Hao asked.

"Lao Hengpiao is an old fritter, I'd rather sleep than do anything for you, or just talk about money, and even say a line at a price, not to mention helping to work, only you are new, and you are more diligent."

"No, it's just a small favor, how can there be so many requests."

"Who doesn't say it, I don't want to help with a small favor, I don't even want to do my usual appearance, and I still expect myself to get ahead, how can there be such a good thing. Xu Hao, I'm a few years older than you, I'll call you Xiao Xu, are you here to play, or are you here to be an actor? ”

"Of course I'm here to be an actor."

"Then you should remember that opportunities will not fall on your head for no reason, and your usual bits and pieces, don't think that they are useless, maybe they will be seen by a nobleman. How to say it, if you look good, maybe others don't care, but if you don't look good, others will definitely remember it. There are so many horizontal drifters in Hengdian, and the people who can get out of the way are those who really know how to do things, such as the help you did me just now, maybe it will fall into the eyes of that nobleman, right. ”

What Lao Erjiang said was very reasonable, at least Xu Hao thought it was very reasonable, so he couldn't help but nod his head.

It is rare for someone to be willing to listen to him, so Rao Erjiang continued with foaming at the mouth: "Acting is such a thing, that is, thousands of troops cross the single-plank bridge, and there are so many people running dramas in Hengdian, think about it, what is the probability that the opportunity will be your turn?" There are very few, there are so few opportunities, if you don't take it seriously, you can't catch it, then you won't have a chance to get ahead. ”

Someone called him over there, Lao Erjiang stopped talking and patted Xu Hao on the shoulder: "I'm going to do something, think about it, don't learn from those old fritters." ”

Lao Erjiang wanted to leave, Xu Hao felt that this person was good, so he proposed to change his mobile phone number, and Lao Erjiang happily agreed, changed his mobile phone number, and then left.

Carrying a mineral water bottle and walking slowly, Xu Hao was thinking about Lao Erjiang's words.

He looked at the group performers who were playing cards and sleeping, and thought to himself, if he were a director, he would definitely not want to give these people any chances, let alone promote them to play special or roles.

"Xu Hao, don't learn from them, you have to be diligent with your hands and feet, well, learn from that Zhan Guosheng, it doesn't matter if you suffer a little loss, the important thing is to schedule yourself!"

Thinking about it, walking, I walked to the place where the actor rested.

Hu Jun was talking to the director, and the female star was touching up her makeup with the help of her assistant. This female star, Xu Hao has already inquired about it, her name is Gan Tingting, she has played Pan Jinlian in the new version of "Water Margin", and she is indeed very beautiful, especially when she is wearing a floral skirt from the Republic of China era, which has a unique charm.

"Would you like to take a picture with her? Beauty! ”

"Forget it, buddies also want to be stars, and they can't fall off the shelf."

Thinking of this, Xu Hao turned around and walked away, continuing to wander around the crew, paying attention to the operation of the entire crew.

Seeing more and learning more is his primary plan now.
