"Old Qin, let me tell you, I encountered something fun today!”
Tang Hu, who had a scar on his face, was smoking a cigarette. He was sitting in an empty space outside the production team and bragging to the group leaders of the other production teams.
He was surrounded by a few group leaders like him.
"What is it? Did he meet another girl who didn't want to be an extra and went to the sea to be a chicken?”
The group leader in front of him was teasing him, and the other group leaders also laughed.
"Get lost, you're thinking about this all day long!”
"No wonder they specifically looked for female extras!"
Dao Ba couldn't help but curse, then he said: "It's a newbie, but he just passed the preliminary exam of Northern Film Academy yesterday!”
"Quasi-course students?"
One of the extras pursed his lips." Just listen to his bragging. Why would a prospective student come here as an extra?" Besides, it's only the preliminary exam, there's still the second and third exams. Do you think it's that easy to get into Northern Film Academy?”
"That's right, Dao Ba, you're not normal!”
"I've been in Beijing Film Academy for so many years, it shouldn't be!”
The group leaders scolded one by one, and Dao Ba's voice seemed a little weak: "No, this kid is really different. He joined the production team with his father when he was young. He's a second-generation actor!”
"Keep bragging!"
"That's right. Why didn't the second-generation actor go to his father's production team and come all the way here to act?”
"Incognito?"
"Dao Ba, I think you've been playing with too many girls these past few days, have you gone crazy?”
The group leaders were mocking each other. Tang Hu was about to retort when the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
When he took it out and took a look, his entire body could not help but tremble.
It was a call from Old Yang, the stage supervisor of the "
"Did…something happen?"
Usually, the production crew's stage supervisor would only call the group leader at night when they were paid.
Nothing good would happen if he called during the day.
Moreover, it was only past nine o'clock. The extras had not been there for long.
"Who called?"
A few group leaders saw Dao Ba's hesitant look and couldn't help but ask.
"Old Yang from 'Railroad guerrillas!”
Dao Ba raised his head, his expression somewhat ugly.
"Old Yang?"
"What does he mean by calling at this time?”
"What else can it be? Hurry up and answer it. There's an 80% chance that something happened!”
"How long has it been?"
The group leaders also felt the seriousness of the matter. The group leader who was closest to Dao Ba said: "Dao Ba, it's definitely that kid you mentioned just now. I told you not to recruit new people, you just need that 50 yuan!”
With that said, all the group leaders reacted.
"Yes, yes, yes, it must be him!"
"Fortunately, I never recruit new people!"
"Me too!"
"Dao Ba, you take it. If there's anything, we brothers will help you shoulder it. A fall into a pit is a gain in wisdom.”
The group leaders were all talking, and Dao Ba was obviously regretting his decision.
Gritting his teeth, he dialed the number and put it on speaker mode. The extras also surrounded him.
Dao Ba didn't dare to answer Old Yang's call.
Beep!
The phone only rang once before the other party picked up.
"Yang Chang, I'm sorry, just now-"
Before Dao Ba could finish his words, Old Yang's hearty laughter could be heard,"Haha, I'm fine!"
“……”
This smile also made all the group leaders look at Dao Ba in unison.
Nothing?
The stage supervisor wouldn't have such an attitude over the phone.
A group of group leaders often interacted with the production team. How could they not know the faces of these people?
"Hu ~~~"
Dao Ba also let out a long breath, his somewhat pale face had recovered.
F * ck, he was really scared to death.
"You scared me to death!"
Dao Ba patted his chest and wiped the sweat off his forehead. A few extras at the side snickered.
Someone pointed at Dao Ba and gesticulated,"Coward!"
"Courage my ass. Why don't you try?”
Dao Ba couldn't help but want to punch this guy, but he heard Old Yang say,"It's like this. The Zhuang Fan you brought today is awesome!”
"The director of the battlefield scene praised him. Let him act in the next few scenes…"
"What?"
Tang Hu's eyes could not help but widen. After being stunned for a full second, he said,"Zhuang…Zhuang what?"
"Zhuang Fan!"
Old Yang emphasized.
"Who is Zhuang Fan?"
Tang Hu really did not know Zhuang Fan's name.
" The one you brought. That newcomer, tall, thin, and handsome young man. He's probably not even 20 years old…"
"F * ck!"
"He…he was chosen by the director of the battlefield scene?" Tang Hu recalled.”
"Yeah, I gave him an extra 100 yuan!”
"I'm telling you, remember to pay!”
"No problem, no problem!"
Tang Hu smiled happily. He hung up the phone with a smile on his lips, but the extras beside him were all a little dumbfounded.
"Zhuang Fan!"
"Did you hear that?" Dao Ba pointed at the phone.”
"Hahahaha!"
Dao Ba was smug as he pointed at the extras and said,"It's the professional student I mentioned just now!”
" His name is Zhuang Fan!!"
"The director has taken a fancy to me!"
"You still call me stupid? Who's the stupid one?"
The more Dao Ba spoke, the more excited he became. He pointed at the group of people in front of him.
The more these guys heard, the more they felt uncomfortable.
Was there something wrong with the script?
It seemed like Dao Ba was going to be rich?
"Dao Ba, would you die if you didn't brag?”
"Just those crappy extras who played dead bodies?”
"Those few green onions can also catch the director's eye. Do you think he's Wang Baoqiang?”
An extra sneered.
"That's right. It's hard to find someone like Baoqiang in ten years. I've been in the capital for so many years, and I've only seen one. The others, hehe, are all mud…"
The group leaders were obviously more realistic than the extras. In fact, they had been through this.
They were all old extras who had their edges smoothed out by society.
A few years ago, Tang Hu was also a young man and woman who dreamed of becoming a star.
However, the boring days of being a minor character allowed them to see the truth of this world.
Before he came, he was full of ambition, but when he was in despair, he was like a lamp that went out.
They knew better than anyone else how difficult it was for extras to stand out.
"You guys are just jealous!"
"I'm talking about the second-generation actor just now. He acted in one scene and was chosen by the director!”
Tang Hu emphasized.
This time, he was surprisingly serious as he spoke word by word to the group leaders.
After saying that, he flicked the cigarette butt and exhaled a smoke ring. He chuckled and said,"I'll go in and take a look. Perhaps my opportunity is coming!”
How could he not know that these group leaders were deliberately saying this because they were unhappy?
"Do you believe me?"
A group leader looked at Tang Hu's back.
"I don't believe it!"
"I don't believe it either!"
The group leaders squatted there and started talking about other mountains.
However, everyone's expressions were somewhat ambiguous. It was obvious that their mood was not as relaxed as they said.
This industry was so realistic.
If you are similar to me, then I will treat you as a brother. But if you get up, then I'm sorry, he'll kick you when you're down!
No one would want you to live better than him. This was human nature.
******
"Very good!"
"This is too much!"
In the battlefield area, the battlefield director of " Railroad guerrillas " picked up the loudspeaker and smiled happily."Let's take a 10-minute break and continue to the next scene!”
"You, who was so scared that you peed your pants just now? You, come here!”
The director pointed at Zhuang Fan. Zhuang Fan did not mean to point at himself, but he knew that the director was talking about him.
He was so confident when he used Rejoice.
Old Li was drooling with envy.
They were both extras, but why was the difference so huge?!
When he followed Zhuang Fan earlier, it was the first time he felt what acting was like. Previously, he was simply walking around randomly. Unlike Zhuang Fan, who had stumbled a few times while running, he still got up despite the pain and continued to run.
The feeling of panic and death was deeply ingrained in his acting.
Old Li finally believed that Zhuang Fan definitely had 15 years of stage experience.
His acting skills were amazing!
He was able to make the director choose him from hundreds of people at a glance even if he was just an extra.
If this wasn't strength, then what was it?
"Awesome!"
After Old Li walked out of the filming location, he was still reminiscing about the scene just now.
"Old Li!"
Scarface Tang Hu suddenly shouted at him. Old Li immediately quivered. When he turned around and saw that it was Scarface, he hurriedly said,"Brother Scar!"
"Then…then who?"
"That university student?"
Tang Hu asked.
Old Li pointed in the direction of the battlefield director and said enviously,"There he is. The director called him over!”
"What? Director, call him?"
Tang Hu's shock was not faked.
What was an extra?
They would beg the group leader to give them 30-50 yuan a day, and whether they gave it or not depended on their expressions.
Now, a director, even if it was just a director's assistant, had called an extra to come in front of him.
To be honest, Tang Hu had never seen such a difference in his life.
It was already good enough for the extras to see the director once after ten performances. Of course, this kind of meeting was just a glance from afar. One hundred times, one would probably hear the director say something other than " Cut."
It was that exaggerated.
This was because extras were indeed at the lowest level of the production team. The people they saw the most were the group leaders, makeup artists, prop artists, and even the stage supervisor or casting director.
But now, an extra was directly involved with the director…
"Awesome!"
"That's f * cking awesome!"
"I've finally seen a god!"
"This Northern Film Academy is really different. Even if it's just an extra on the first day of the first scene, the director will still take a fancy to it!”
Tang Hu admired him from the bottom of his heart. Then, in his heart, the desire to curry favor with him became stronger.
Such a person would definitely have an extraordinary future!
No matter what, she had to get his contact number or something.
Tang Hu was waiting anxiously, while the director of " Railroad guerrillas " looked at Zhuang Fan, who was standing in front of him without any nervousness, and asked,""You've learned…acting? Or did you leave the production team with someone?"
