A decision on an actor usually requires a considerable amount of time of continuous auditions and repeated confirmations. Of course, auditions for supporting roles may be simpler, but it is not to the point where just finding one will be suitable.
The crew is not saying that they don’t spend money when they stop filming, but they spend money every day. It’s just that they spend more when filming and less when they are not filming. However, even if they spend less, it will not make them any better. That’s why there are basics for filming.
It's just a waste of money.
"There is nothing we can do now. All the dramas related to Huo Qubing have been postponed. We will compile a list later to see if there are any suitable actors. We will contact their agents to see if they are interested!" Dong Li thought for a while and said.
.
"Yes, director!" the assistant director agreed.
"Wait a minute, who is that person?" Dong Li's eyes lit up and he pointed at Wang Zhengfei not far away and said.
"That's an extra!" the assistant director looked at it and replied honestly. "Director, you don't want to use him, do you?"
"Yes, you see he has a very good image, very heroic!" Dong Li praised.
"But he's an extra?" the assistant director whispered uncertainly.
"What's wrong with the extras? How many big names have come out among the extras? It doesn't matter whether they are extras or not. The key is that the image of the other person is so consistent with the image of Huo Qubing. He is a handsome young man, but he is also heroic and decisive. His acting skills can be cultivated.
, but there is nothing we can do about the appearance factor!" Dong Li retorted.
However, what Dong Li did not expect was that extras were originally part-time roles among actors, and one person could even play several roles in one play. However, Wang Zhengfei was only a half-hearted part-time actor even as an extra.
"Let him put on makeup and change into Huo Qubing's clothes to see me. Let's change the scene for this afternoon. Call Huang Xiaoming here. Today we will shoot the indoor scene of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!" Dong Lixiang said.
"Understood!" the assistant director sighed. Although he did not agree with the sudden use of an extra, but who made Dong Li the director? Although he had the title of assistant director, only he knew that in fact, the assistant director was
I'm just a senior assistant, and I don't know when I will be able to get ahead.
For an actor, wasting ten years is equivalent to moving from youth to middle age, murdering his own acting life. But for directors, this is not the case. Except for a few extremely lucky people, most people have to go through years of study.
, getting familiar with the details of the crew's shooting bit by bit, and climbing up step by step until he can get investment to become a director himself, so someone like Lu Chuan, who is nearly middle-aged, already belongs to the new generation of young directors.
Because of his own experience, the assistant director prefers hard-working actors who have worked hard step by step and have professional backgrounds, such as Huang Xiaoming. He always dislikes artists who suddenly become famous overnight.
This is probably the common mentality of most artists who follow the orthodox route. I have worked hard for so many years to get to where I am today, but the other party just got lucky and suddenly got on top of me. Who is watching?
It feels good.
But what he didn't know was that with the proliferation of talent shows and the Internet a few years later, such people were everywhere, becoming famous quickly, and then quickly being forgotten.
After saying that, Dong Li left. The assistant director immediately put on a smile and walked up to Wang Zhengfei and said, "What's your name?"
"Wang Zhengfei!" Wang Zhengfei was a little confused. Why did the assistant director ask his name? He was just a sidekick and would forget it after a while.
"I'm a few years older than you, so I'll tell you to fly right away. You're in luck!" the assistant director said with a smile.
Although Wang Zhengfei can only temporarily replace Li Li as Huo Qubing, which is still far behind his status, what is the most important thing in the entertainment industry? Isn't it connections? How are connections accumulated? Do we have to wait until the other party becomes famous?
?Of course the connections the other party made during his Qianlong period are the most trustworthy.
Although Wang Zhengfei may just be a shooting star, he may also use this platform to fly into the sky. Anyway, it costs nothing to greet people with a smile.
"Good luck?" Wang Zhengfei was a little surprised. What kind of good luck could he have? Anyway, he was an ordinary person in this life and his previous life. Good luck and other things basically had nothing to do with him.
"Well, one of the actors in our crew who played Huo Qubing was injured and couldn't shoot anymore, so I recommended you to the director. I think you can do it. Do it well and don't let this opportunity go to waste!" the assistant director said, "I am you."
Wang Zhengfei didn't know Bole's appearance, but he didn't need to know.
Wang Zhengfei looked embarrassed and said: "Director, I am actually a reporter, this extra is just a part-time job!"
"What?" The assistant director looked like he had seen a ghost. This extra was actually a reporter. What does that mean? If the assistant director had traveled from the next generation, he would definitely use an adjective to describe his mood, that is, it hurts.
, I have already made a guarantee in front of Dong Li, but now that the other party is a reporter and is unwilling to go, then he will be embarrassed.
"Well, even journalists work part-time. I'm actually still a student at school, so I'm afraid I don't have time to film. I'm sorry!" Wang Zhengfei nodded and said.
Even reporters work part-time! The assistant director felt like he was about to faint. How many part-time jobs did this guy have? He wouldn't say that students also work part-time!
"It's still summer vacation. You always have time during summer vacation, and Huo Qubing doesn't have a lot of scenes. Two months is enough to finish filming!" The assistant director looked at Wang Zhengfei and said, and then he realized something was wrong. Dong Li
I just said that I wanted him to audition for the show, but I didn't say that I must have him. Why did I say that I had to have him, and I wouldn't want him unless he did it? But after all, it seems like it would be a good fit.
"At that time, I will still have to work as a reporter part-time, and I can't leave casually!" Wang Zhengfei said.
"Zhengfei, come here!" At this time, Zhao Yu saw that Wang Zhengfei was still hesitant and quickly called him aside.
"Hey, you are stupid, this is a good opportunity!" Zhao Yu persuaded earnestly. "How much can you earn as a reporter in two months, but being an actor is different. Even in supporting roles, you can earn more than you do as a reporter!"
"But I never thought about entering the entertainment industry!" Wang Zhengfei said seriously. The news about his past life and the shady stories and scandals that reporters had heard over the past few years made him instinctively resist joining the entertainment industry.
"Who said you should enter the entertainment industry? Do you think that acting in a TV series means you have entered the entertainment industry? You can quit after the acting. No one is forcing you!" Zhao Yu said.
I recommend a book by a friend, "Thirteenth Lang of the South China Sea". Does anyone remember the "So Many Owls in the Country" written by him before? Xiao Chen was crazy about reading it when he was a student.
Reason for recommendation: It updates 20,000 words a day, and is so perverted that it updates seven times a day. It’s worth a read.
