Chapter 3 Extras

After a few rounds, I came to a hill with an elevator leading underground.

It turned out that in order not to damage the background on the surface, the film and television companies all worked in underground buildings.

Entering a hall, you will be greeted by the hustle and bustle of people.

Unlike the deserted ground, there is not a lot of space underneath, at least a thousand people gathered.

More than half of them wore the costumes of all dynasties and generations.

"Are costume dramas very popular these days?" Ren Tianxing touched his mouth.

"I'm coming for an interview, where is the HR department?" The robot brother has already gone back to patrol, and Ren Tianxing has found another small man to inquire.

"What HR, there's no such thing here, you're new here, right? If you want to go to the play, you have to find a group leader, and I will introduce you to our leader. The little man pulled Ren Tianxing and walked to the side.

"Group heads? The head of the extras, but I'm not here to be a group performer. Ren Tianxing explained a few words, but seeing that the man didn't listen at all, he had to give up.

When I came to the corner, I saw the most conspicuous person, an old man, wearing sunglasses.

"I heard it from afar, shouldn't you perform in a group? Who didn't come here to be a star? But young people, eat bite by bite, don't rush. The old man said twice.

"I misunderstood, I don't want to be a star, I just want to apply for a screenwriter." Ren Tianxing said helplessly.

"Applying for a screenwriter?" The old man looked at Ren Tianxing again, "I can't help with this, but as far as I know, most of the scripts are made up by robots now." ”

"You say 'majority', then there are still human screenwriters?" Ren Tianxing's spirits lifted.

"There are two situations, one is that the investor has a special habit and appoints a human screenwriter, and the other is a screenwriter with the group, which of course is done by humans." The old man said.

Ren Tianxing asked strangely: "Can't the robot follow the group?" ”

"Huh?" Dozens of eyes around him shot at Ren Tianxing together, making him feel quite stunned: "What did I say wrong?" ”

"How long have you been out of society? Don't know that you can't bring electronic devices in a time-traveling drama? The old man coughed a few times.

"Time-traveling drama? Are you afraid of goofs? Ren Tianxing asked tentatively.

But I still think it's weird, goofs, be careful, just don't let modern things like robots appear in the camera.

And the question is why the robot screenwriter can't follow the group, why is the old man talking about the drama, and what about those modern dramas?

"Yes, I don't understand basic common sense, and I'm still looking for work, young man." The old man shook his head, picked up a piece of paper from the table next to him, and threw it at Ren Tianxing.

Ren Tianxing took the piece of paper in the air and looked at the title: "Instructions for Participating in the Crossing Drama"

"1. Because of the need to travel through time and space, the participants must undergo a physical test.

2. The different space is unpredictable, and the crossing technology is still in its infancy, and the safety of the participants cannot be guaranteed, so it is necessary to sign a liability exemption contract with the crew first.

3. If a person is injured by an accident in a different space, the disability insurance below level 3 shall be provided by social welfare, and the disability insurance and death insurance above level 3 shall be borne by the individual.

4. In addition to the items issued by the crew, the participants are not allowed to carry any personal belongings, especially metal products and electronic products, which may cause immeasurable damage to the time and space channel.

……”

"So, now you can travel back in time? Technology is moving so fast? Ren Tianxing opened his mouth wide.

"It's not about going back to ancient times, it's about copying a certain time and space in the past." A robot next to him spoke.

"Can you elaborate on that?" Ren Tianxing also felt that it was difficult to calm down.

"What we can do now is to find a projection of a certain period of space-time in the past, model it based on that projection, and then fill the 'space-time model' with enough resources to copy it." The robot said, "This replicated space-time is similar to the real history, but it has no connection with the current space-time, so there is no need to worry about traveling through history and changing history, causing the disappearance of the current space-time." ”

"It's amazing." Ren Tianxing muttered.

I can't imagine that in addition to cloning people, I can also clone a period of time and space.

Time travel is more awesome than interstellar travel, isn't it?

What are you waiting for, as long as you can go on a free travel adventure, you can also do group performances!

"Where can I register to participate? Group performances, screenwriting, drama management, anything! Ren Tianxing's eyes lit up.

"The actors' union is over there, but no one is looking for you to join the crew just by registering, newcomers must have a 'group head' like me, young people will come to me after registration, I am optimistic about you!" The old man laughed.

"Scan the code first to join the group, our old man Ding's connections are quite extensive, and you have filming every day!" The small man before pulled Ren Tianxing and shouted.

"Okay, thank you." Ren Tianxing scanned the code, and then walked quickly to the innermost part of the hall.

When I came to the gate that said "Actors' Union", I made a careful inquiry on the self-service equipment and roughly figured out the situation.

The film and television company itself does not have any fixed actors, and only temporarily recruits people to build a crew when they are on a project, and the main actors with weight have long been decided in big cities or on the Internet, and that depends on connections and fame.

The extras and extras who are needed are generally recruited at the film and television base where they are filmed, which can save the cost of transportation, food and accommodation.

Because the crew has limited recruitment, and there are too many people who want to do group performances, it is difficult for ordinary people to enter the crew if there is no "group leader" introduction.

These group leaders are equivalent to intermediaries, for group performances, it is not easy to be deceived by black companies with the old drivers of group leaders, and for film and television companies, group leaders can help them preliminarily screen group performances, and can also help manage and adjust.

Everyone has benefits, so the three parties can form a stable ecosystem.

"Ordinary extras, the daily salary of each play is 100 contribution points?" Ren Tianxing looked at the introduction and smiled: "It's not enough to buy a screw for an interstellar spaceship." ”

Ren Tianxing's last spaceship was worth 70 million contribution points.

The actors' union has dozens of automatic registration machines, but Ren Tianxing came directly to the window of the "manual application office".

"Hello, I would like to know what conditions are required to apply for 'Screenwriter with the Group'?" Ren Tianxing looked at the girl in the window, and felt that her eyes were like real human beings.

"With the group of screenwriters? This is not an official position, and usually the crew will appoint one or two veteran time-traveling actors and authorize them to modify the script on an ad hoc basis if there is an emergency. The girl had been playing with her mobile phone, and she didn't look up at Ren Tianxing at all.

"So this kind of screenwriter requires that he has enough experience in traversing, right, I haven't 'worn' it, but I've written novels before, will it also help somewhat?" Ren Tianxing asked.

"Then it depends on what the person in charge of the crew thinks, I can't answer." The girl said.

"Okay...... Then let me ask again, I was also a celebrity before, with more than 30 million Weibo fans, should I have a certain box office appeal, can I directly apply to become a more senior actor? "Ren Tianxing said again.

"There is no such precedent, but since you have these advantages, the crew will naturally give you special treatment after seeing the information." The girl suddenly looked up and smiled sweetly, with stars shining in her eyes.

With 30 million followers, this is no ordinary celebrity!

Ren Tianxing didn't have the heart to enjoy this adoring gaze.

The question is, do you really have to start from scratch this time?

Start earning 100 contribution points per day?

But when he thought of that mysterious alien space, he still couldn't resist the temptation.

"Okay, I'll register normally and apply to be an ordinary extra." Ren Tianxing said with a little regret.

"Point your eyes at this lens, and the system will automatically recognize it and build a file for you." The girl stood up and took the initiative to point out the location of the camera for Ren Tianxing.

It was only five seconds after Ren Tianxing leaned over before he heard the sound of printing.

Soon, the girl had a small notebook in her hand, she opened it and looked at it, and immediately frowned.

"Boring, play this joke with me, I'm receiving so many people every day, I'm very busy, okay?" The girl snorted and threw out the notebook.

"This attitude is really a real person." Anger swelled in Ren Tianxing's chest, ready to pick up the notebook and reason with the girl.

"What? Personal Experience – Blank? His eyes swept to the opened "actor card", the most important column of which made Ren Tianxing instantly dumbfounded.

"Weibo followers 0?" Hit again.

He instantly understood what was going onβ€”those past honors, the champions of the novel contest, and the current "protoplasms" that only belonged to him, had not yet been inherited from this reborn.

"Peaty, really starting from scratch." Ren Tianxing shrugged his nose twice.

It's okay without honor.

It would be too embarrassing to let those fans in the past know that they were downcast and came to be extras.

"I'm here to experience the goodness of life, so I'll hide my merit and fame!" Ren Tianxing comforted himself as he turned around and walked away with his head held high.
