Crack!
"It's too much!"
"Let's call it a day!"
Wang Yanbing, the director's assistant for " Drawing Swords ", looked at the scene that had just been shot on the monitor with satisfaction. A rare smile appeared on his face.
He had never expected that the filming progress would be brought forward.
The three scenes in the afternoon were originally scheduled for tomorrow morning. However, the extras were really good. The few scenes that were filmed in the city gate tower were filmed very smoothly!
"It's only 5:10?"
Wang Yanbing looked at the time. Seeing that the extras were about to leave, he hurriedly said,"Everyone has worked hard. Go to the stage supervisor and get a box lunch before leaving!”
"Yo, thank you, Director Wang!"
"Thank you, Director!"
"I saved some money for the meal!"
"Director Wang is generous!"
The extras all happily ran to Wang Yanbing and thanked him.
To be able to save money on a meal was something that many extras were grateful for. Basically, very few production teams would care about the takeaway at night, unless they were filming a big show or a night scene.
Or a big production team, the kind that was rich and did not lack money.
Today, Wang Yanbing was delivering food. It was purely because the filming had gone too smoothly. With half a day's progress, a few hundred boxes of food were worth it.
"Zhuang Fan!"
Wang Yanbing called out to Zhuang Fan, who had just taken off his costume. Zhuang Fan was stunned for a moment, but he still walked towards Wang Yanbing.
"You brat, not bad!"
"I'll give you half the credit for today's scene!”
"How about it, let's join the crew. Normal scenes are 100 a day, and the prospects are 200!”
Wang Yanbing said to Zhuang Fan. He obviously didn't know about Zhang Qian's interview with him. He also didn't have the time to ask about horse training.
After filming a few scenes, he realized that Zhuang Fan's talent was not bad. His positioning, running, and so on were all very outstanding.
"Alright!"
Zhuang Fan didn't reject it. Joining the cast of 'Unsheathed Swords' was his goal.
"Alright, then it's settled!"
"I'll get someone to tell your group leader later. From tomorrow onwards, you'll report to our production team!”
"Before 8 o'clock, is that okay?"
As Wang Yanbing spoke, Zhuang Fan acknowledged her and agreed.
"Oh, right, hurry up and get your actor's certificate!”
"I have to register it for the production team!"
Wang Yanbing did not forget to remind him. Zhuang Fan had already asked Dao Ba to help him get his certificate. It was very easy to get an actor's certificate in 2005. Unlike in the future, going to class and taking exams was just a formality.
After saying goodbye to Wang Yanbing, Zhuang Fan went to the prop room to change his clothes.
Dao Ba was already waiting at the entrance of the production team of 'Unsheathed Swords'.
Beside her was Boss Yang, who was beaming with joy. It could be seen that she was in a good mood.
"Brother Scar, Brother Zhuang is out!"
Old Li looked at Zhuang Fan, who was dressed neatly, and hurriedly waved at him. Zhuang Fan took three steps and walked in front of Dao Ba.
Dao Ba looked deeply at Zhuang Fan and suddenly gave him a thumbs up.
He obviously knew about the circus.
Wang Yanbing didn't know because he had been filming in the City Tower District. Dao Ba was the group leader and had to check with the stage manager about the extras 'salaries every day, so he knew Zhuang Fan's daily income.
He relied on the commission of each extra to survive.
The higher the income of an extra, the higher his corresponding salary would be.
He was clearly deeply shocked again today. He felt that Zhuang Fan was becoming more and more unfathomable.
Yesterday, it was an explosion scene and Zhuang Fan got 2100 yuan.
Today, Zhuang Fan's salary was actually 2500 yuan!
When Dao Ba received it, he couldn't believe it. It wasn't until the stage manager explained to him that 2000 yuan was given to him by Zhang Qian that Dao Ba felt like he was dreaming.
Who was Zhang Qian?
That was the executive director of 'Unsheathed Swords'. When Dao Ba heard that, he was a little dumbfounded.
A director personally taking care of the salary of an extra?
It seemed to be even fiercer than yesterday's " Railroad guerrillas." Yesterday, Zhuang Fan only called the battlefield director his brother.
Today, it was the executive director, and it was for 'Drawing Swords'!
To be honest, in Dao Ba's seven to eight years of acting as an extra, this was the first time he had encountered something like this.
More importantly, it only took two days!
Furthermore, in these two days, Zhuang Fan had earned 4600 yuan, which was almost more than his income as a group leader.
How could Dao Ba not be polite to Zhuang Fan?
"Guess how much I earned today?”
However, Yang Mi was one step ahead of him. She walked in front of Zhuang Fan with a smug expression.
Needless to say, this girl should have earned quite a lot today.
"Do…prospects?"
Zhuang Fan could guess it right away. Yang Mi, who was originally excited, suddenly pulled a long face. The corners of her lips curled up slightly."How boring!"
"Can't you pretend that you didn't guess?"
Yang Xiaomi said proudly.
"Haha, normal operation!"
"As long as the director isn't stupid, he'll definitely let you be the prospect!”
With that figure, appearance, and Dao Ba's recommendation, which director wouldn't like a beautiful woman appearing on camera?
It was reasonable for him to be a prospect.
After many female extras became prospects, it was also a time of destiny.
This was also when the unspoken rules began.
Although Yang Mi didn't need it, it was hard to say for the others.
Zhuang Fan guessed that Dao Ba had already received the call. Usually, the stage manager and some small directors would make their move at this time.
"Look, this is my income for today!”
Yang Mi waved the hundred-yuan bill in her hand."I've been standing as a palace maid for the whole day. I'll have to take this 100 yuan later to reward myself!”
“……”
He was really bored.
Zhuang Fan couldn't be bothered to complain. She was just the female lead. She didn't want to be the supporting actress in a big drama and instead became an extra. The key was that she earned 100 yuan as if she had earned 1 million yuan.
"How much are you paid for your work, Condor God?"
Zhuang Fan could not help but ask.
"I'm not telling you!"
Yang Mi giggled, but Zhuang Fan did not think too much about it. This thing should be confidential, or the company had a rule that it could not be revealed casually.
However, Zhuang Fan could basically deduce it.
8000-1 If Guo Xiang's scenes were calculated according to the 40-minute length of an episode, she could only appear for 200 minutes at most, which was five episodes. Then, her salary would be 50,000 yuan!
It was even possible to get 40,000 yuan.
Then, he would split it with the company. In the end, he would probably get no more than 20,000 yuan.
Looking at it this way, many people might think that they did not earn much, but in fact, artists did not only earn money from their films.
After gaining fame, advertisements, endorsements, and so on were all sources of income.
Even if Yang Mi was just a nobody, in fact, her company would work hard to sign all kinds of advertising and endorsement contracts for her.
All of these combined would bring in a high income.
Zhuang Fan estimated that although Yang Mi might not be able to earn a million yuan in a year, she could easily earn a few hundred thousand yuan.
Hence, this 100 yuan…Zhuang Fan really did not understand.
"Zhuang, your salary for today!"
Dao Ba counted 2500 and handed it to Zhuang Fan.
“……”
The smile on the face of a certain someone who had just bragged about earning 100 yuan disappeared the moment he saw the stack of 100 yuan bills.
She looked at the hundred-yuan bill and then at Zhuang Fan. She could not believe that what she saw was real.
"Count it a little, 2500!"
“2500？！！”
Even Yang Mi started to scream. She stared at Zhuang Fan with her eyes wide open."You…you earned 2500 yuan in one day?!”
"Aren't you an extra?"
Yang Mi asked.
"That's right, who said that extras can't earn high salaries!”
“……”
Yang Mi was greatly shocked, and her three views were once again shattered.
On average, this filming income was even higher than hers!
After all, her salary was 50,000 yuan, and she might need to shoot for one to two months. According to a month's calculation, that would be 1666 yuan a day. It was obviously incomparable to Zhuang Fan's 2500 yuan.
Swoosh!
Zhuang Fan only took one from Dao Ba and pushed the rest back."Brother Scar, one is enough!"
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to enter the production team of 'Unsheathed Swords'!”
"No!"
Dao Ba was obviously unwilling to accept it." That's a separate matter. Take as much as you can. This is the director's special care-"
"Brother Scar, if you don't take it, then I'll return the favor I owe you!”
"If you take it, everything will be fine in the future!”
Zhuang Fan swung his hands and looked at Dao Ba. Dao Ba didn't know whether to accept it or not.
In the end, he shook his head in defeat."Alright, alright, kid. I'll take this money. In the future, I'll take as much as I can. I'll take my share, you take yours!”
"Alright!"
Zhuang Fan did not stand on ceremony. Old Li and the other extras looked at Zhuang Fan with admiration.
He deserved to be popular!
Who could compare to this setup?
"Alright, I'll treat you to dinner tonight!"
Dao Ba waved his hand and everyone was amused.
Other than Mr. Yang, who was still feeling depressed, her mind was still filled with Zhuang Fan's 2500 yuan income that day.
This…was too stimulating!
