In order to make a living, Liu Liang is a set manager, working on both sides of the group. Today, he is looking for actors for a costume fairy tale drama. The filming is for outdoor scenes and martial arts scenes.

Actors are divided into levels in accepting roles. From small to large, they are divided into group actors, special actors, large, medium and small special roles, small and medium roles, supporting roles and protagonists. The requirements for actors of each grade to accept roles are different.

The protagonists and supporting roles are generally against box office ratings, and are required to be well-known actors and star-level actors.

For roles and special contracts, the general requirements are to graduate from a professional acting school, have certain experience in film and television productions and acting, and have certain professional acting skills. If you don’t have connections or your personal image is very good, it is difficult for most people to get roles above the role.

Group actors and group actors, as long as the actor is a normal person, group actors generally require a better image, and group actors basically do not need acting skills, but there is no threshold at all. There are more ways to play, and it is easier to get involved, and your own image and

There are certain height requirements.

The role in the costume drama that Zhang Jin helped Lu Bu find with a pack of cigarettes was a Qun Te.

Today, Liu Liang gave two people the small special contract and the group special contract. The former was naturally given to Lu Bu, and the latter fell into the hands of Zhang Jin.

"Brother Lu, you play the role of the assassin leader, with a face-to-face appearance, six lines, and the need to hang a wire. This shouldn't be a problem for you." After Liu Liang briefly explained to Zhang Jin, he ran over to give Lu Bu a detailed explanation.

.

"Hanging steel wire?" Lu Bu recalled it. It seemed that during the filming process, actors were tied with steel wires and used tension to make them rise or perform special effects such as leaping movements. He had done it several times and it was not difficult, so he nodded: "

Okay, thank you."

"You're a foreigner, aren't you?" Liu Liang chuckled and said a few polite words out of habit: "Brothers, what are you talking about?"

When Lu Bu heard this, he looked at him with amusement.

When Liu Liang saw this, he laughed dryly and said, "I'll take you over and start telling the story."

He came to the assistant director, nodded and introduced: "Director Xu, these two actors are Killer Leader and Killer A. They are experienced and professional enough. They have won the national martial arts championship."

The assistant director looked at the two of them. They had the right height and body shape, but the taller image was too good. He was handsome and domineering, much better than their male lead. Fortunately, most of the scenes were masked, and only two or three of his faces were shown.

After taking a shot, he immediately waved to the costume designer and said: "Take them to change clothes, and then come back and wait for me to talk about the play together."

Liu Liang's business was settled and he had to go to the crew to report. He said hello to Lu Bu and left.

After a while, there were seven or eight extras in night clothes standing on the venue, with Lu Bu and Zhang Jin now at the front.

After waiting for a few more minutes, the hero and heroine arrived, and the assistant director began to talk about the play.

"After you open the board and start shooting, you start running from the bamboo forest. Go faster, look straight ahead, don't look at the machine. Stop at the big tree. The killer's armor will fly down from the trunk of the tree. Danqi kneels down and holds his fists against the killer.

The leader said that people were resting by the stream in front. The killer leader said with a stern look in his eyes that he should act more swiftly later so as not to leave anyone alive..."

After finishing the scene, the assistant director arranged for them to rehearse it again to check the moves and status.

Lu Bu also tried hanging on the wire. He was a little nervous when he first rose up. After all, it was his first time. When he was flying on the rope, he was no longer nervous and even felt very happy.

Most of the fairy tale dramas rely on adding special effects in post-production. Of course, there are also many martial arts dramas.

And among this group of people, the only one who doesn't know how to fight is the male protagonist. This is no ordinary trouble. It took him a long time just to set up tricks.

As a result, I still forgot about half of the official photo shoot.

This really exhausted them killers to death, running, hanging wires, and beating.

In the end, there was really no choice but to reduce and reduce the male protagonist's fighting scenes, and even changed them to split-shot posing.

For the next half month, Liu Liang, Lu Bu and Zhang Jin, mingled with various crews.

Through self-study, Lu Bu became a beginner in acting. He was able to perform special roles in various dramas such as Anti-Japanese War, Qing Palace, Xianxia and so on. In the circle of Hengdian extras, people gave him the nickname "Hengdian's No. 1 Special Agent".

On this day, Lu Bu did not take part in the drama. He stayed in a rented house and read books, mainly martial arts novels by Jin Liang, Wen and Huang.

First, he really likes this type of story, and second, his own conditions are suitable for this type of drama, so there is no harm in learning more about it.

"Still reading, which one did you switch to today?" Zhang Jin came back and saw that he was still immersed in "studying", so he asked casually.

""Looking for Qin"." Lu Bu shook the book in his hand.

"Is this another made-up book?" Zhang Jin asked with a smile. Whenever he reads a book involving history these days, he will comment like this.

"Indeed, I think Ying Zheng is too simple, and I think the generals and counselors of other countries are too stupid, and many places are a bit explicit." Lu Bu swallowed his saliva and said.

"Oh..." Zhang Jin hadn't seen it, so he didn't continue the conversation because he didn't understand it. Instead, he smiled and said: "By the way, go to bed early tonight. The Eighth Master has a new movie to be filmed. He will come over to try it out."

I'm an actor, let's try our luck tomorrow morning."

"Eighth Master" refers to Yuan Heping. It is said that this nickname was not because Yuan Heping was ranked eighth, but because his brothers made fun of him for being talkative and like an old man, and called him "Uncle". Later, the nickname was passed down.

With a change of tone, it becomes "Ba Ye".

But in fact, in an interview with the 757th issue of the Hong Kong magazine "Sudden Weekly", he said that he was silent and not verbose, just because there were eight sworn brothers in his circle at that time, and he himself ranked eighth, so he was called "Eighth" by his old friends.

"Master".

Hearing this, Lu Bu put down the book in his hand, looked up at Zhang Jin, and asked with interest: "You really want to join the Yuan family class?"

Zhang Jin nodded frankly, and then sighed: "As you can see, the national martial arts champion is useless here. It's so difficult to get ahead. It would be different if there is someone to guide you."

To put it bluntly, you need to have a backer. In the entertainment industry, if you have no performance experience, no connections, no resources, and no hype, it is not impossible but very difficult to be successful and prosperous.

Lu Bu knew the truth very well, because it was the same as when he was in the age of separatism at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, so he quickly agreed without much thought.

The next day, the two of them came to a small forest in a hurry.

According to Zhang Jin, Yuan Heping was going to the crew filming here to inspect one of the actors.

"Da da da da..."

"Drive! Drive! Drive!"

In the hazy light, I saw five or six people chasing each other on horseback in the forest, with several cameras on the tracks and cranes following them.

I scanned the studio and couldn't see clearly whether Yuan Heping and his group had arrived since it was not completely light yet.

So, the two of them planned to wait later.

At this moment, several horses tied not far away were frightened for some reason, broke free from their restraints, and ran wildly around. One of the tall white horses rushed into the crowd.

"Run!"

"Ba Ye!"

"careful!"

A short middle-aged man had no time to dodge and was about to be hit. Everyone was too anxious to save him.
Chapter completed!
