If there was one thing that annoyed Ye Yu the most about this job, it was probably the time he had to get up every morning. He had to get up at 7:30 because 8:00 was the time for the dormitory to open.
As usual, Ye Yu opened the door of the dormitory at 8 a.m. sharp. Then, he turned on the computer to adjust the time of the monitor and confirmed that everything was normal. He opened the big window of the gatehouse and waited for the security department to bring him breakfast and hand it over.
The gatekeeper did not mean that Ye Yu had to be here 24 hours a day. His job was actually to hand over the tasks at night and in the morning. The rest of the time was allocated freely. Otherwise, who would do this job? There wasn't much profit during the day.
"Ye-ge, I'm here. Here, these are the steamed dumplings that were freshly made today. They are fresh meat and sauced meat flavored. This cup is freshly ground soybean milk." A short, plain-looking young man in a security uniform walked over.
Ye Yu took the steamed bun and soy milk, took two bites and said,""Hmm, not bad. Baoqiang, have you gotten any good roles recently?”
This person called Baoqiang, don't look at how simple he looks, he's actually very scheming. If anyone really treated him as a fool, then you might be the stupidest one.
Bao Qiang was like many young security guards here. On the surface, he was a security guard, but in fact, he was a walk-on. The reason why he came to Nortel as a security guard was that there were many opportunities and easy work here. Secondly, it could solve the problem of accommodation and provide a certain amount of income.
It wasn't that easy to play a minor role. Often, not only would they not earn much money in a month, but they might even lose a lot. After all, opportunities came with a price. Of course, this was for those who were unwilling to be a walk-on.
For those who were willing to be an extra, they could earn a few thousand yuan a month if they worked hard.
After all, according to the market price at the entrance of the Beijing Film Academy, the crowd scene was 40 yuan per set, the armor scene was 60 yuan, and the dialogue scene was 100 yuan. If there was a slap in the face and a few slashes, it was generally 150 yuan. The dangerous scene was 200-3000 yuan. However, not many people dared to do the 3000-yuan bid. Ye Yu had only seen it a few times.
F * ck, that would mean falling from a few stories high. Sometimes, the pads on the ground were so thin that it could be ignored. Because it had to be buried in the ground to make the ground look as real as possible. Those who didn't have any foundation might fall and be crippled. As for hiring professional stuntmen, the cost was too high, and the production team could not bear to do so.
Moreover, this money was only on paper. After deducting the dividends from the group leader, the actual amount might not even be 80%. As for how long a set of scenes would take, it was hard to say. Sometimes, it would take about half an hour, and sometimes, it would take more than half a day. It all depended on the director's mood.
"Ye-ge. It's not like you don't know. My appearance is not good, and I'm not tall. Many extras don't want someone like me. Sigh, I wonder when I'll be able to act as a hero?”Bao Qiang said emotionally.
Ye Yu kicked him unhappily and said angrily,""Stop pretending to be a farmer. What do you mean by me. It was unpleasant to hear. Remember, this is not how extras run. Playing a minor role also requires skill. This is Stanislavsky's Self-Cultivation of an Actor for you. Take a good look. There was hope in learning how to act. As for being a hero, don't even think about it. It's not something you can act in. You have to live a more realistic life, child.”
Ye Yu had read this book when he was watching Zhou Xing's movie, The King of Comedy. Curious, he searched online and didn't expect to find such a book. He bought 20 copies in one go. It was pretty good to use it to show off.
Bao Qiang took the book and said unwillingly,"Who told you that heroes have to be tall, mighty, handsome, and unrestrained? Many of the experts in our Shaolin Temple are similar to me. They are either not tall or fat. I'm definitely one of the top three in terms of looks. They all said I could be an action superstar.”
"Hahaha, not bad." Ye Yu laughed. The heroic hero's tall, mighty, handsome, and unrestrained appearance is just a fantasy of us Star Dou citizens. There weren't many good-looking experts and heroes. But so what? You are the number one expert in the world. If your appearance is not good, who will look at you? Take Huang Feihong as an example. Out of so many versions, why was Li Jie's the most popular and influential? It was all because he was good-looking and good looking. If you were to play Huang Feihong? Only ghosts would look at it. The style was not right. I think you're good at pretending to be a farmer. If you're really good at pretending, why don't you develop into this simple and honest route? He might even be able to find a new path.”
Bao Qiang picked up " An Actor's Self-Cultivation " and started reading it with a look of dissatisfaction. After Ye Yu finished his breakfast, he turned on his computer and decided to update the Legend of Wukong. This book was really popular now.
Legend of Wukong wasn't a long book. The biggest selling point was that many of the words and sentences in it were quite powerful, especially that sentence: "I want the sky to no longer be able to cover my eyes, I want this earth to no longer be able to bury my heart, I want all living beings to understand my intentions, I want all the Buddhas to disappear into thin air!”
When this sentence came out, it immediately caused a sensation in the entire Chinese Internet world. It was very popular among those young people. It was precisely these classic yet somewhat unconventional high-sounding sentences that made Wukong popular all over the Internet.
Ye Yu now had six million fans, and at least five million of them were from Legend of Wukong. Those poems and lyrics were just for show.
Looking at the comments on Weibo, Ye Yu had no choice but to upload another 10,000 words. It wasn't that he didn't want to add more, but the Legend of Wukong was indeed too short. Even if he updated 10,000 words in 3-5 days, he would only be able to survive for more than a month.
After uploading the latest chapter of Legend of Wukong, Ye Yu suddenly saw a new message in my message box. It was the reply sent by Qiu Bo, the chief editor of Huaxia Press.
Speaking of publishing companies, ever since Legend of Wukong became popular, many publishing companies had sent messages to Ye Yu, hoping to publish Legend of Wukong. The price was also getting higher and higher. There were even people who bought out all the copyrights for 10 million. However, Ye Yu refused. He knew how popular this book was in other worlds. A movie adaptation license over there was worth more than that. Moreover, the sales of this book had always been very good. It was simply a long-term meal ticket. Only an idiot would sell it out.
