Chapter 412. Extras

The water baby has recently opened her eyes.

He was born in a water-scarce mountain village in central China, and because of his yearning for water, his parents gave him the nickname Water Baby, and his big name was Song Wangmiao.

Shuiwa is 12 years old and is about to go to junior high school in the county, but as May approaches, a group of people come to the town.

These people wore city dwellers' shirts, jeans, sunglasses, and more importantly, a lot of photographic equipment on their backs.

For young people in villages and towns who still have mobile phones and low-end copycat phones, and like to play all kinds of Internet pop songs, the arrival of these people undoubtedly represents a kind of longing.

"Someone's going to make a movie!"

Such rumors went viral in the town, and on the first day of the arrival of the filming team, there were many people gathered downstairs of the hotel where they lived, some wanted to see which star came, some people simply came to join in the fun, and some people had a little dream, maybe they were favored by the director!

Sure enough, the person in charge of reception in the hotel quickly inquired about the news, this is indeed a movie crew, but there are few stars who are familiar to everyone and can be seen on national television, this news is a little disappointing.

But immediately there was new news, that is, the crew was going to recruit extras here.

This time everyone was excited again.

The recruitment of extras began soon, and Shui Wa also approached with some curiosity.

"What are you doing in the past, they want villagers, what's the use of you as a child?"

The parents said, but did not stop the water baby.

But when he arrived at the scene, Shui Wa found that there were many children who were about the same age as him.

Growing up in the village, Shui Wa basically dealt with children of the same age, and among the children in these interviews, there were many of them that he had never seen, and he inquired for a while, these were all from neighboring towns.

And the reason why I have to go so far in order to interview an extras is because of several roles.

According to the director's needs, in addition to the general villager extras, three children are also needed, as students, they not only have lines, but also quite important roles, which can be regarded as half of the leading actors.

Originally, Zheng Weijie and Xu Rui wanted to find those child stars who had become famous to play, so that their acting skills were more guaranteed, but they asked several times, either because the schedule did not match, or they were unwilling to go to the difficult environment of a mountain village to shoot, so they had to give up in the end.

After cutting the children's script slightly, Zheng Weijie decided to use local children to star, which is a bold idea, not to mention that not everyone can behave freely in front of the camera, obey the scheduling and arrangement, and make a certain expression, this requirement will stump a large number of people.

After interviewing several children, they didn't feel good, and Zheng Weijie had the idea of worrying for the first time.

He needed three boys and two girls, and the girls had options, but the boys couldn't find the right one.

Eleven or twelve-year-old boys are less mature than girls of the same age, and growing up in a relatively backward environment, they have little opportunity to interact with acting and the like, and it is even more difficult for them to perform.

"If you can't be a squad leader, then no one can."

"Ah Shui, why are you here, didn't you say that your parents won't come to you?"

"I snuck out, hee-hee."

"Fourth, you interviewed just now, what did they ask?"

"Just let me stand there, and then say a few words, and make me cry......"

"Huh? I still have to cry, where is it so easy to squeeze tears. ”

The children chattered and watched as one of their peers walked into the hotel's reception room and left with disappointed expressions.

The number of people in line gradually decreased, and the water baby also lined up inside, and by the time he arrived, the people around him had already dispersed a lot.

"You're coming alone?"

After registering her name, Shui Wa entered the reception room, looking a little curious about the person who looked like a director.

"I'm here alone."

Looking at the camera of the black hole, the water baby couldn't help but be a little apprehensive, but he was bold, and it wouldn't be a big deal to get used to it.

"Say those words."

The staff on the side handed over an A4 piece of paper with some lines on it.

After looking at it twice, except for a few sentences, Shui Wa didn't know what the words meant at all, but she still read it out according to her own understanding.

“...... I know what it means, but I always feel that it doesn't make sense: I had a fight with Li Quangui at noon, and he beat my face so painfully and swollen, so the force is not equal, and I must have suffered more than him! ”

“...... When an object exerts a force on a second object, this second object will also exert a force on the first object, and the two forces are equal in magnitude and in opposite directions! ”

“......”

After he finished reading the last sentence, he suddenly realized that he seemed to be really reading the above words just now, what was full of emotion, what was full of feelings, as if he had forgotten everything, in the language class, the class representative recited the text with so much emotion, which made the water baby very envious.

Oops, no, no.

Shui Wa suddenly felt that her performance just now was terrible, who would like this kind of flat tone.

He wanted to ask to reread it again, but the director quickly let him leave, probably dissatisfied with Shuiwa's performance.

When I got home, my parents didn't ask much, but only urged the water baby to hurry up and help feed the chickens and pigs at home.

Shui Wa's mood was also depressed for that day, and the next morning, he was the carefree happy boy again.

However, on the third day, Shui Wa received an unexpected notice.

That's when he was chosen to be one of the actors in this movie, and he was an actor with lines!

The water baby felt like she was dreaming.

......

Filming started soon, taking into account the children's learning problems, so their scenes were all filmed on weekends, in fact, Shui Wa felt that these scenes were very simple, that is, in class, sometimes talking to the actor's uncle.

He found that everyone spoke like usual, and there was no emotion as required by the Chinese teacher.

As the filming progressed, another question emerged from the water baby.

What is this movie about?

After filming with the crew for more than half a month, Shuiwa felt that what she was filming was rural life, but it seemed that it was really just rural life.

Although the title of the film is "Country Teacher", it won't really be just about filming rural teachers, right?

And judging from the scene of the water baby's participation, the story doesn't seem to have any plot, that is, a rural teacher suffers in the village, but is unwilling to give up the children, and finally does his best.

The filming ended in June, and when Shuiwa and others were on summer vacation, the film crew also left the village and town.

For the water baby, the shooting is over.

But for Cheng Weijie, the real shooting has just begun.
