Chapter 9 Extras

[Little Mo gastritis is guilty, this whole day has been painful for a while, and I have run to the toilet N times, and I just put the update out of the code, I hope it will get better tomorrow... 】

The dark gray down jacket followed Tang Hongye and Du Juan to their office dejectedly, Tang Hongye asked him to sit on the chair next to his desk, and he and Du Juan also sat down.

"Come on, introduce yourself!" Tang Hongye smiled at him and raised his chin, "It is said that meeting is fate, we have met twice this time, and the fate is not shallow, you have seen my work card, and you have to tell me what your name is." ”

"Brother, don't tease me......" the dark gray down jacket made a bitter face, "You can all find me, don't you know what my name is!" How powerful you are! ”

"We want to know, of course, there is a way to know, but is it the same thing for us to check you and take the initiative to communicate with you?" Tang Hongye also did not reveal the fact that he met him by mistake today.

The dark gray down jacket was convinced when he said this, so he trembled and stammered to introduce himself, although he said that he was stumbling, but he could understand it.

This person's name is Chen Chao, he is twenty-two years old this year, he has no fixed occupation, he has always been doing odd jobs, and he has done almost every job. The reason why he has not been looking for a relatively stable job is because Chen Chao is not very old, but he has this persistent dream of being an actor, although he does not have any advantages in terms of appearance, he still believes that as long as he hones his acting skills, he may have the opportunity to become a powerful actor.

That time I got into a fight with someone in a restaurant, according to him, it was also a business.

"Brother, sister, I really didn't lie, you can believe me!" He said with a crying voice, "I made a total of 200 yuan from it, and I don't have more!" And I was also called by my friend, I am an extra, I have a good time, I can make a little money, there is no other reason! I don't know exactly who is doing what, I haven't been in contact with employers other than collecting money! ”

"It's none of your business, then you're also an insider, so tell us what you know." Tang Hongye nodded at him and spread out the notepad in his hand.

"Eh! Okay, okay! No problem! Chen Chao nodded busily, as if he was afraid that Tang Hongye would regret it again in the next second, "That's the case, what about me, don't I and a few friends usually take on some kind of extras work, just make a little money to realize the dream of singing or something, so sometimes I will search for recruitment posts in this area on the Internet, if there is a suitable one, ask and try, if there is no suitable one, I will work first to make money." ”

"Wait a minute," Tang Hongye raised his hand to signal him, and asked with some doubts, "As far as I know, we don't have any decent film and television companies here, let alone a film and television base, what kind of extras are you doing?"

"Oh, brother, you don't understand this! We also thought about it carefully before we decided to eat this bowl of rice in City A first! We have actually been to the kind of big film and television base you mentioned, really, the competition is too fierce," Chen Chao waved his hand with a sad face, "Just like us, who have no acquaintances, no fellow villagers, and no acting experience, even the cheapest job has to try our luck after we go, don't you have to have food and accommodation expenses over there, and it's not cost-effective to be horizontal and vertical, so we discussed it, and felt that it was right here in City A, taking on that kind of work like micro-movies, small videos, etc., and working to earn living expenses if you have nothing to do. When you have enough acting experience in the future, you can go to that kind of big film and television base to show your skills! Therefore, we usually take on the kind of work I just mentioned, and the general one is not much, and the advantage is that it does not take up time, so this time there is a 'big job' of 200 yuan, and we are very excited, and we agreed to it without thinking too much. ”

"Let's be specific, who gave you this big job? So many people were found by employers one by one? Tang Hongye asked.

"No, no, that's definitely not," Chen Chao waved his hand again and again, "Our circle is equivalent to huddling with each other to keep warm, because it's not easy, it's difficult to persevere, and besides, extras, it's not a professional, what a big role, generally whoever wants to find it can't find a single one and a half, it must be several, so we have a better relationship with whoever has news, just pull each other and provide a chance." To put it bluntly, it belongs to the feeling of having one more friend and one more road. I was able to get this job this time, because someone found a friend of mine, and my friend called me again. Let me tell you this, the group of people who tore around in that restaurant that day, I counted the people I knew well or not, and I knew two or three people when I was full. Everyone else is the kind of friend who calls his friend, and his friend's friend puts his own friend on his feet. ”

When he said this, he paused and sighed heavily: "It's really unfavorable!" The friend who introduced me is really a real buddy, and he definitely won't want to cheat me, I guess he still doesn't know what's going on! We were called that day, that is, we were going to play a scene of secretly fighting in a restaurant, there was no fixed script and fixed lines, and we didn't really fight, so we put on a good posture, so that others could see that we were really going to fight, and it was enough, and then someone would come and persuade us to leave, and we would just do it, and then they would send us money when we were done. We acted according to this plot that day, and then the two of you did come to persuade us, and we felt that the cooperation was very good, you let us go, and we left, and after we left, someone sent us labor fees, and I was very happy......"

Tang Hongye listened to him say this, while recalling the scenes of the day, at first he felt that something was not right, but he couldn't say it, and then the more he listened, the more he felt that there was a problem: "Stop!" You said you were hired, you went to that restaurant, pretended to eat, pretended to fight, and it was all the process of acting? Although I am a layman in the film and television industry, there are too obvious loopholes in your statement, right? You said you were acting that day, so tell me, where are the cameras and videographers? Where are the other crew members in charge of the set? ”

Chen Chao was a little stunned by his question at first, and then said helplessly: "Brother, you think too highly of us!" As an extras with small roles like ours, or in our place, what kind of crew do you expect to follow and command on the spot? The kind of work we can generally receive, or it's the kind of funny short story that I want to put on the Internet to be a celebrity, or what kind of homework does a student who learns this kind of major call in some school, or what kind of micro-film or something, or there is that kind of thing, the young couple get married, and they have to make up a more romantic marriage proposal story, just shoot a fake thing like that, and keep it when they get married, and let it out to deceive relatives and friends, I've done that kind of thing several times, so I stood behind and coaxed a few or something, Shout twice, 'Promise him!' Promise him! This kind of money, but that kind of earns less. The point is that generally this kind of thing doesn't have that kind of big camera, and it's enough to have a pinch. ”

"The problem is that I haven't even seen such a small camera in my hand at the scene that day," Tang Hongye finished speaking, turned his head and asked Du Juan, "Do you have any impression of being at the scene that day?" ”

"No, at least not in my memory." The cuckoo shook his head.

"I'm really telling the truth, and I haven't mixed it with any fakes!" Chen Chao was a little anxious, "My friend said, the boss said, in order to be real, the boss has already said hello, and the people in the restaurant will not do anything to us, but the camera is hidden and secretly filmed, so that the effect of shooting is natural." I don't know how to do it, how natural it can be, anyway, give me money, I'll do it! I swear, I am willing to let me swear as much as I want, I am not afraid! Really, I'll send it to you right now! ”

"No, if you can verify the truth with a poisonous oath, our police work will be too easy, right? Catch a suspect and let him swear a poisonous oath! If this poisonous oath is a little heavier, it is estimated that the process of connecting to the legal trial can be omitted, which directly reduces the workload of the court and the procuratorate! Tang Hongye felt angry and funny when he saw Chen Chao trembling and swearing that he wanted to prove himself by swearing poison, "Then tell me, who was the person who gave you money at that time?" This person can't also give money secretly, right? Just snap your fingers out of thin air and the money will be in your pocket? ”

"That can't, that can't, that's definitely not possible, if that's the case, there must be no chaos!" Chen Chao hurriedly waved his hand, "But the person who gave us the money was not the one who hired us, I still don't know who hired us, the one who gave us the money was one of our two groups that day, it was he who contacted the employer at the beginning, so there was such a thing, he gave us everyone's 200 yuan that day, I didn't think that there would be such trouble in the future, I took the money and left, and I didn't ask much about anything." ”

"Do you know the person who contacted this business in the first place? Can you still find him? Tang Hongye asked, wanting to dig into the roots and find out who the employer behind the scenes was.

Chen Chao nodded, tremblingly took out the mobile phone from his pocket, and was about to call the person, and said while touching the mobile phone: "Didn't I tell you before, take my line of work, one more friend and one more way, so that time I was familiar with the person who took this job, I didn't expect you to want to check this matter, just to let him really have any drama in the future, it is enough to carry me more, I never thought that there would be such a troublesome thing here." I'm here to help you, otherwise, I don't need to face such a big brother, running to ask people about this kind of thing, if he is angry with me, then I will be in City A in the future, and it is estimated that someone will recommend me at least a few times to be an extra. ”

"Wait a minute, don't call your big brother yet, I think otherwise, let's drive, you take us directly to your big brother who introduces work, how about it? Tang Hongye made a suggestion. ”

Chen Chao hesitated: "It's not that I don't want to help you, if this is my own buddy, then I guess I can make a decision without even blinking my eyes, but that big brother's temper ...... Not so good. ”

"Let's go, he's in a bad temper, we're here, can we still eat you?" Tang Hongye didn't plan to really discuss this matter with Chen Chao, he got up from his chair and walked out.

Chen Chao's face was full of reluctance, but he didn't dare to disobey Tang Hongye and Du Juan, so he had to follow dejectedly, and after going downstairs, the three of them still got into the car according to the position they came, and under Chen Chao's guidance, they began to look for his eldest brother who helped introduce the work.

"I said, don't you just go to someone and ask about the situation? What is this expression, you kid? When the car was halfway open, Tang Hongye raised his eyes and looked at Chen Chao sitting in the back seat from the rearview mirror, and saw him crying and shrunk back in his seat, his expression did not look much more relaxed than when he was taken to the public security bureau just now.

Chen Chao glanced at Tang Hongye and sighed: "Brother, don't you know the big brother who helped me introduce this job, right......?" I don't have a very good temper, and I don't know what happened before, but I don't want to deal with you police anyway...... But there is a lot of work in his hands, there are always people looking for him, and when he is looking for him, he usually pulls a few people he knows. I'll take two policemen to find him today, and I'll ...... in the future I don't think I can expect him to introduce me to jobs in the future. ”

"Yo, what is this 'big brother' doing? What did you do with the police? Tang Hongye raised his eyebrows and asked.

Du Juan also turned his head to look at Chen Chao, the previous few things were pointed at Tang Hongye, it was clear that he wanted to retaliate against him, under this premise, a person who had a strong resistance to the profession of the police, and participated in the disturbance in the restaurant that day, was particularly attention-grabbing.

Chen Chao shook his head: "I don't know, I don't know this big brother directly, it's just to introduce work, he called me a friend who was quite familiar at the time, and my friend remembered me again, so I left a contact information with that big brother, and then he called me if he had anything." I'm not lying, I've always felt that there are many friends and many ways, so I haven't inquired about his previous affairs, I think he has a bad temper, don't I mess with him, and nothing else is my business. ”
