Chapter 4 Dignity is worth a few dollars
may have some feelings at the beginning, and later I will doubt whether I am suitable for the path of acting, but in the end, I still persevered.
Yang Xi never considered himself a talented actor, because he was not an actor at all.
He was on his way to the next crew when suddenly a call hit his phone.
Peng Zhiyong, the assistant director of a Qing court drama "Nine Dragons Seize the Heir" that he recently filmed, is a fat-bellied, short-tempered fat man, and he is very mean.
"Director Peng, why are you free to call me?"
Yang Xi directly shouted Director Peng, if he called Deputy Director Peng, it would be a taboo. At first, he didn't understand it, and he offended many people for it, and then he learned well.
However, he was still quite surprised that Peng Zhiyong would have his own mobile phone number. Besides, he usually has eyes above the top, could it be that he still has a play to find himself today?
The little eunuch played by Yang Xi has no role in the past few days, but if there is a eunuch who goes to another crew, it will also be made up by a group actor who has no role.
He originally wanted to change his acting path, but he was going to play a eunuch again, so let's act!
"That's right, I heard that you got sick in the rain, I think you should need to recuperate for a while, don't bring the cold to the crew and infect the others. In this way, when you are free, you can come to the finance to settle your salary. ”
Yang Xi was stunned, and when Peng Zhiyong was about to hang up the phone, Yang Xi hurriedly said: "Director Peng, I just have a little cold, and I'm already well." Besides, what should I do if I have a few scenes in the future? ”
Peng Zhiyong's impatient tone came from the phone, and he said in a strange manner: "A eunuch, who is not acting?" There are a lot of extras in Hengdian, do you really think that you are the only one who can play the eunuch? ”
After speaking, he hung up the phone very strongly.
Yang Xi listened to the sound of hanging up the phone on the other side, bit his lip tightly, and did not move for a long time.
He actually knows that anyone can play a small role like a eunuch. What's more, things in the crew are quite complicated, and he doesn't want to know who told Peng Zhiyong the news that he was sick, because he doesn't have to think about it to know who knows that he had a fever last night.
He won't say that when he becomes famous in the future, he must not be able to climb high by Peng Zhiyong.
In the two or three years in Hengdian, when I first came, I also had such a ridiculous idea and left a lot of crews.
But looking back now, those bold words at the beginning are the biggest jokes.
No, in fact, the biggest joke is still yourself.
Yang Xi cleaned up his mood and began to walk towards the crew of this Qing palace drama filmed in the past few days, he still has a few hundred yuan in this crew, which is the food cost this month.
In the face of life, many times dignity is not necessary.
You may think that dignity is everything to you, but among the tens of thousands of extras in Hengdian, who has not been trampled on by someone stronger than yourself.
Dignity is really important for some people, but for those who still want to live, who still have a little illusion about life, dignity is nothing.
If dignity can be sold for money, how much is a pound? Dignity can keep you from starving, so how much food can you exchange?
Yang Xi directly found the finance and explained the intention, the finance was not salty, and he glanced at Yang Xi and said: "A total of seven days, eighty yuan a day." Director Peng greeted in advance, and paid for you to make up a whole number, six hundred. If you can meet a director like Director Peng, you can steal the fun! ”
"By the way, sign here!" Finance said, pointing to a table.
Yang Xi snorted, without any extra words.
The extra forty yuan is actually humiliating himself, but Yang Xi doesn't care. He has already passed the time when his self-esteem was damaged, maybe three or four years earlier, he will not lose his temper, and he will question Peng Zhiyong.
But does it really work? In Hengdian, there is also a hierarchy, and group performances are the group of people who have the least human rights. Even if you become a specialty, there are several classes of specialists.
It's not that the world won't turn without you, and it's not that this drama can't be filmed without you, it's just that you take yourself too seriously.
After signing and taking the money, the finance took a deep look at Yang Xi.
Looking at this young man, why does he look so old? If you lose your temper and don't want this money on the spot, won't you have another extra income? He also lost forty dollars in vain.
Yang Xi put the money in his pocket and walked out of the crew.
He glanced back at the crew again, not to remember this scene, this scene has been encountered too much. He is just very curious, the director of this Qing palace drama is a famous director in China, very famous, why would he use a villain like Peng Zhiyong?
As for why Peng Zhiyong targeted himself so much, Yang Xi was not surprised at all.
That is, two days ago, Peng Zhiyong harassed a female group performance, Yang Xi really couldn't stand it, so he stepped forward and said a few good words to Peng Zhiyong, saying that this girl is not easy to do.
Peng Zhiyong saw that the crew looked at him so much, so he was naturally embarrassed to harass the female group actor again, but he also held a grudge against Yang Xi.
Generally, many people encounter such things with the attitude that they have nothing to do with themselves, after all, Peng Zhiyong is the deputy director of this drama and has great power.
Including Li Dong, in fact, they are all surprised that Yang Xi is not a newcomer again, and he still does this kind of thing to offend the assistant director, isn't this self-destructive future!
If this female group actor doesn't have that kind of mind, then Peng Zhiyong is just taking advantage of it. If she really has this kind of mind to take the opportunity to take the position, Yang Xi will destroy the good things of others, which is hated.
The reason why Yang Xi helped that girl was that he felt that this girl was like the girl he secretly liked when he was in junior high school, so he couldn't help but step forward to help. What I didn't expect was to smash my job.
There are no regrets and no regrets, he never feels that he is a good person or a bad person, and he has been used to this kind of scene over the years.
If he met another girl, he probably wouldn't have stepped forward to help talk.
Yang Xi doesn't have so much time to sigh, he still has to go to "City Pretty Woman" and "Beacon Shanghai" to see if there is a suitable role for him!
He arrived first at the urban pretty woman crew, which is a film from his student days to entering the social workplace, and the publicity is an inspirational workplace drama.
The male and female lead actors Yang Xi know each other, but unfortunately they don't know themselves.
The age of the male and female protagonists is not very young, they are members of a men's group and a women's group in China, and Yang Xi doesn't know much about the combination.
Anyway, what he knows is that the general domestic group combination is a very mushy kind. These two can appear in this drama, it should be that the company has made a lot of efforts to promote them.
This drama does not need to be performed in groups for the time being, and all the students who are looking for it are a group of students from Hengdian Film and Television Vocational College, and they will have to rent their venue at that time.
