Chapter 5 Entering the Crew
After successfully completing the test, Chen Mi in the office on the way back only said hello to Chi Bin and lowered his head and continued to be busy with his own affairs. After the physical examination documents were sent, Chi Bin immediately forwarded them to the four crews he auditioned for. In the next few days, Chi Bin maintained his physical strength while exercising, while waiting for the results of the audition. For Shen Qingya's side, Chi Bin temporarily said that he wanted to rest for a while, and he wanted to watch a movie to find her brother for the time being, and he didn't want her to know that she was preparing to act in a "subliminal movie" and get into trouble, after all, she was very opposed to talking to her before.
............................................................................
In the crew of "Bloody Castle 2".
"Director Wen, the information of the auditioners has been here for the past few days. This has removed many unqualified psychological assessments and weak wills, and you can see who is more suitable among them. The assistant held a stack of papers and placed it on the desk of the director.
"It's the same as before.,Choose according to different attribute tags.,What campus gangsters.、Muscular men、Enchanting female otaku are all a few.,This time it's a summer camp.,It's okay to have a few more attributes to repeat the role.,The main thing is to see if there are any unique people.。
As he spoke, Director Wen began to flip through the stack of actors' personal physical examination documents, found out some unique personalities or physical qualities, and took them out and put them aside. After a while, he turned to Chi Bin's copy, first looked at the psychological assessment, which was mediocre, and then turned to the next page of physical fitness, which made Mr. Wen's eyes shine, and he pulled out the document and put it on the qualified side.
............................................................................
A few more days passed, and Chi Bin finally received audition replies from the four crews. Among them, "Trick Doll" and "Desperate Deep Space" all politely rejected Chi Bin's participation. To Chi Bin's surprise, "Bloody Castle 2" did pass his audition, and he also wrote back to inform him that he could buy a ticket to come to Xijing on his own, and officially meet with several other leading actors in the crew the day after tomorrow.
Chi Bin, who got the news, was undoubtedly excited, and successfully joined the crew he expected, and looking at the "other leading actors" mentioned in the reply email, this can also show that he is one of the core members of the crew, and there is a high chance that he can snatch the leading role in the "subconscious movie".
The excited Chi Bin booked a ticket to Xijing overnight to go to Xijing in the early hours of tomorrow morning, packed his luggage and prepared to leave there early tomorrow morning to meet the first battle of his "subliminal movie" journey.
............................................................................
At Xijing Airport, at noon, Chi Bin, who was dragging his luggage, took the subway from the airport all the way to the hotel he booked after passing the airport security check.
After packing his luggage, Chi Bin took a nap first, and then planned to go to the crew to take a look in the afternoon. Although according to the notice of the crew, the actors should join the group tomorrow, it is also excellent to be able to get in touch in advance and understand the various departments and aspects of the filming of the "subliminal movie" crew.
Not long after, following the guidance of the map, Chi Bin came to the office building of the crew. The shooting of "subliminal film" does not need to be set up at the location like traditional film shooting, but the crew has a fixed shooting base, which is also the most cost-saving point. Standing downstairs in the crew, Chi Bin also somewhat understood why traditional filmmakers like Director Zhou would think that this new technology "desecrates" the film industry.
Pushing open the door, the first thing that catches your eye is the counter and the projection AI on it, Chi Bin is not surprised by this, after all, how can there be a real person standing guard every day.
"Is this the crew of "Bloody Castle 2"? I'm Chi Bin, an actor who has successfully auditioned, can you help contact the director's assistant? I had an appointment with her yesterday. ”
"Okay, please sir, wait a minute. Facial recognition is successful, please go directly to 213 on the second floor to find Assistant Zhou, she has prepared an actor contract for you. As he spoke, the AI had already turned on the elevator next to it.
Chi Bin took the elevator to the second floor, and as soon as the elevator door opened, he heard the noise of the entire crew's office.
"Hey, have you done the modeling over there, send it over."
"Ahh The script is about to change again? Make no mistake, that uncle, doesn't this scare people and increase the workload? ”
。。。
Chi Bin looked at the busy figure of everyone here, walked to the side of the corridor, and finally stopped at the door of the office number 213.
Taking a deep breath, Chi Bin opened the door to his office. The layout of the office is relatively simple, that is, several cabinets, a desk and a computer panel on it, and a sofa for guests to sit on the opposite side. Assistant Zhou was also sitting at this desk, and opposite was a girl with short hair. Hearing the sound of the door opening, the two of them also looked at the door.
"It's actor Chi Bin, I've received the news from the counter, you can find a place to sit down first." After seeing the person clearly, Assistant Zhou first got up and spoke.
"Let me introduce you, this is also one of the leading actors this time, Tanna. Tan Na, this is Chi Bin. Assistant Zhou introduced the other party to the two, and the girl also got up and walked towards Chi Bin and stretched out her hand.
"Hello, I'm Tanna."
"Hello, I'm Chi Bin." Chi Bin shook her hand lightly.
"Tan Na, Chi Bin is also a newcomer this time." Assistant Zhou walked out of the two documents in front of the desk, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Zhou Yingshi, I am the personal assistant of the director, there should be only two of you actors to come to the crew today, and they are all newcomers, let's take a look at the contract first, and then I will take you to learn the preparation before the filming of the movie." ”
Assistant Zhou said, and gave the two contract documents in his hand to the two rookie actors. Chi Bin took a look, it was an ordinary actor contract, that is, there were two more, one was to add insurance for psychological problems, and the other was that there was an actor himself who had to agree to be blocked during the filming of his memory and psychological hints.
"Assistant Zhou, what is this psychological suggestion?" Blocking memories is still within Chi Bin's expectations, but what is the situation with this psychological hint?
"Just call me Sister Shi, the psychological hint is to ensure that you don't recover your real memories on your own during the filming. Virtual memories are implanted in the later stage, and they cannot be compared with real memories in terms of authenticity, which is why actors can distinguish between virtual life and reality after filming. ”
After listening to the explanation, Chi Bin and Tan Na also signed the contract. After that, Zhou Yingshi took the two out of the office, walked through the noisy hall, and walked towards the official "shooting" location.
"Before the official shooting, you also need to understand the roles you will play, although these characters are synchronized with your personality and physical fitness when shaping, but after all, the trajectory of life is still different, the reason why you actors gather early is to let you have a good understanding of the background stories of the characters in these days, and will also provide a virtual cabin so that you can simulate some important episodes in their lives."
Saying that, Zhou Yingshi had already brought the two of them to a hall, there were rows of virtual cabins in the room, Chi Bin should have more than a hundred at a glance, and there were several staff members in the hall debugging the machine, and there was an uncle wearing sunglasses and a strong figure standing next to him.
"Wen Dao! I brought the two actors who arrived today. Zhou Yingshi first greeted the uncle, and then turned her head to Chi Bin and introduced them, "This is our director, Wen Shiqing, Wen Dao." ”
"Haha, don't be too restrained." Director Wen strode over and patted Chi Bin on the shoulder, "The young man has a good figure, you are the Chi Bin, sure enough, as I expected, the plasma chapter needs a muscular man like you, of course, if you want to shoot some color films later, you can also find me, I will give priority to hiring you, and the leading actors will be kept for you, haha." ”
"Director Wen, don't joke with the juniors, I'll take them to read the script first."
"I'm kidding, I'm serious." Director Wen replied, and his eyes turned to another actor, Tan Na, "This is Miss Tan Na, she is really beautiful enough, and she deserves to be the cover face of the cover." ”
Hearing Director Wen's words, Chi Bin found that the short-haired girl next to him looked really good on a closer look, and her facial features were delicate and not like mortals, but Chi Bin felt that this face was a little familiar, and there were no shortcomings except that the figure was a little flat, and the jeans on the lower body outlined the perfect curve of the legs, and the style of the short hair did not lose points, but increased a point of heroism. Chi Bin unconsciously compared her with her childhood friend Shen Qingya, feeling as if Tan Na's image was more poking at herself, that is, the whole aura was a little cold, but those legs were ......
"Wait, what are you thinking?" Chi Bin interrupted his reverie, and he would really become an idiot if he thought about it again.
"Thanks for the compliment." Tan Na's answer was really the same as the aura Chi Bin felt, there was a feeling that no one should approach.
"Director Wen, don't make a mess here, I'll take them to get the script first." Saying that, Zhou Yingshi continued to take the two of them around the director to the room next to the hall to get the script of the two and the introduction of the characters' lives, and the director didn't say anything halfway.
"The machines from 1 to 10 in the hall, you can choose one each, as one of the leading actors, the character's life experience has been produced and uploaded, and now you can practice independently."
"I'll pick number 7." Tan Na was the first to speak.
"Then I'll be number six."
"Okay, so that's the key to the machine, where have you been living lately?" Zhou Yingshi handed over two metal bracelets with different codes, and asked about the recent accommodation of the two, "Our crew provides accommodation for the leading actors, and they can move here to live, so it is also convenient for preparation and practice later." ”
"Okay, then trouble Sister Shi (thank you, Sister Shi)."
"Then I'll register you for the housing first, it's all single rooms, right? Wait for a while to pick up the luggage, the counter will directly guide you, and then use this bracelet code to open the door, so that you don't need to record your pupils. Wake up tomorrow and come directly to this hall to gather, all the way to the rush, today first rest early, tomorrow the machine can be completely repaired. ”
After listening to Zhou Yingshi's words, Chi Bin and the two also said goodbye to her, and after leaving the crew, the two parted ways.
............................................................................
In the next few days, with the arrival of the cast and crew, the simulation hall gradually became busy. Chi Bin has also experienced the life experience of "Xi Minjun" in the script many times, it can only be said that it is relatively ordinary, his hobby is iron fitness, and he is a newly graduated college student who joined a high school summer camp as an intern teacher. The personality and physical fitness are basically the same as the current Chi Bin, and I feel that it should not be difficult to play.
In a few days of practice, Chi Bin also had a good relationship with Tan Na who he saw on the first day, it should be... Now the two are eating together, but Tan Na still looks cold to everyone. Chi Bin also found out the reason why he felt familiar with her at the time, it turned out that Tan Na used to be a child star on the Internet, but she seemed to have gradually lost her popularity when she grew up, but since she has such a face, why do you want to make this kind of film, isn't it good to shoot traditional movies directly? Just thinking about it, Chi Bin looked up at Tan Na on the opposite side again.
"You must be curious why I would participate in this kind of film." Unexpectedly, Tan Na, who didn't talk much in the past, stared at him this time with her eyes and attacked first, and suddenly explained the reason why Chi Bin had contacted her recently.
"Yes, I'm curious." Chi Bin, who was told at first, was a little panicked, but after thinking about it, since she took the initiative to talk about it, she might as well break the jar and take the initiative to chat, admitting that she was so gossipy, so she looked directly at those beautiful eyes and shamelessly admitted her curiosity.
Tan Na didn't seem to expect Chi Bin to be so direct, her head lowered again, and just when Chi Bin thought that her curiosity could not be satisfied, she opened her mouth unexpectedly.
"It's because I don't have acting skills. I wasn't born to express my emotions, people around me said I was cold, my expression was terrible, and several directors also said that I didn't have talent in this area, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't make a friend from childhood to adulthood... ”
As if she was looking for someone to complain, the girl began to have broken thoughts, and her head kept low, if it weren't for the fact that her tone was as flat as ever, Chi Bin thought she was going to cry, and after thinking for a while, Tan Na raised her head and looked directly at Chi Bin.
"So I want to prove myself, since they say that I can only be a vase, and I play everyone like myself, then I will play myself, in the virtual world." Tan Na said word by word, although her voice still didn't fluctuate much, Chi Bin also heard the girl's determination and her love for the profession of actor.
"Well, we're going to make it." Looking at the girl with a firm expression, Chi Bin responded with a smile.
............................................................................
It's finally time to start the film, and in the past few days, the leading actor has carried out psychological counseling many times, and has made psychological hints, and will only wait for the filming to be over.
Director Wen has made a lot of effort to "Bloody Castle 2" this time, not to mention the 10 leading actors, and more than 70 main actors, and he has spared no effort in publicity, and he wants to follow the success of the previous "Trick on the Wall" and also conduct a live broadcast on streaming.
The director in the live broadcast room is doing the final system debugging, and after the debugging, the director officially starts the "subliminal movie" system.
[The virtual cabin is starting, and the personnel vital indicator detection system is being started - the start is successful]
[Memory shielding system is being started - successfully activated]
[Injecting false memories - injected successfully]
Chi Bin had already dressed up and lay in the virtual cabin, waiting for the start of the filming. And with the beginning of the guide's instructions, the nutrient solution gradually overflowed Chi Bin's body, and he also entered the "other world".
............................................................................
"Jingle bell, jingle bell." The sound of wind chimes accompanied the bumps of the school bus as it passed the gravel woke up the sleeping Chi Bin from the bus, he first looked around blankly, and then the whole person felt bad.
"Where is this? Didn't I lie in bed yesterday? Sleep for me, huh? ”
