"Hey, Brother Yang, are you filming any scenes? Okay, then I'll go to the studio to meet you at six o'clock tomorrow."
After Li Xiao hung up the phone, he let out a long sigh.
He has always had a dream of becoming a star, and he has made preparations for this dream.
One is to be an anchor, and the other is to be an actor. According to Master Xing, he is currently just a walk-on.
The highest record is playing the role of cannon fodder and "die" twenty-three times in one day. Even if you are a small player, you are considered to have exceeded a certain level.
Yang Lin, the leader of the group, called him just now and told him that he had been cast in a spy film and asked him to go to the set tomorrow to play a small role.
Although Li Xiao made a small profit last time when he sold Phoenix Ao, no matter how much money he made, he couldn't help but sit back and make a fortune. Moreover, if he encounters a good opportunity one day, the role he plays may become a little popular.
What is the difference between having no dreams and salted fish?
So, Li Xiao happily took over this small job...
Having just returned from the movie world, Li Xiao also needs to get in touch with the real world.
So Li Xiao went out to treat himself to some good food at a high-end restaurant, and then went to the barber shop to shave the long back of his head that was originally used to create the image of the big brother in The Hero's True Colors into a short and refreshing hairstyle, and also bought some things for life.
Necessities, wandering around, the day passed quickly.
The next morning, it was still bright. Li Xiao got up to wash up, went to the breakfast shop downstairs to have breakfast, and then took the early train to the film and television city in the southern suburbs.
Because of its unique geographical environment and cultural heritage, Anseong Film and Television City has developed continuously over the years and has become a large-scale comprehensive tourist area integrating film and television tourism, vacation, leisure and sightseeing.
Of course, the most important label among them is naturally the filming location of major film and television crews. More than ten crews film here every day, so it is not uncommon to meet some actors and stars.
There are many tourist attractions in the film and television city, and the streets and alleys are also complicated. But as a senior actor, I am naturally very familiar with this place.
After taking a narrow path, we soon came to an old house with a period appearance. This was the waiting room for the extras. There were a lot of extras inside, all staring with big eyes and small eyes, waiting for the lead.
Party drama.
Soon Li Xiao found a middle-aged man with a Mediterranean hairstyle and a shiny face among the crowd.
"Brother Yang, what kind of scenes are you filming today?"
Yang Lin raised his head and glanced at Li Xiao and said: "The movie you are filming is called "Unsung Heroes". It is a spy war drama. The assistant director will tell you what to play."
"Okay, I understand."
According to the information given by Yang Lin, Li Xiao turned a few corners and came to the crew of "Unsung Heroes".
Based on the architecture and scenery of the Republic of China, and a rough observation of the cast, Li Xiao’s experience indicates that this is a relatively large-scale spy drama.
After the assistant director’s narration.
Li Xiao also knew the role he was going to play. It was the role of a passerby C who hurriedly passed by on this grand and majestic street with only his back. It was insignificant, but it still counted as a shot.
Because he was a minor character, his role was just walking around on the street and making a background wall, so it was not difficult at all. Even during the filming, Li Xiao was still thinking about what to eat tonight.
The first half of the day passed quickly.
...
At noon, under the scorching sun, Li Xiao was squatting on the steps eating a lunch box worth six yuan a piece like the other extras.
At this time, director Xu Yuan, who was not far away, suddenly started to curse at the assistant director: "Now, no matter whether you are third-rate, fourth-rate or fifth-rate, you still think of yourself as a wrist, and his style is very big? Because a small supporting role will delay the whole process."
A scene?"
The assistant director looked aggrieved and said: "Director Xu, although I was the one who found the person in the first place, you can't rely entirely on me if he doesn't come. So what do you think we should do? You also know that Lu Qiang doesn't speak Mandarin well. I hope
The character who plays his deputy can also speak Cantonese. It’s hard to find someone who can speak Cantonese and has some acting experience.”
It turns out that in the movie, the important villain is played by Xiangjiang actor Lu Qiang. It is well known that Lu Qiang is not good at Mandarin, but he and his co-star have a lot of exchanges of lines. Of course, it is not that difficult under the tight schedule.
More time was given to him to practice Mandarin.
So I asked my partner's deputy to be fluent in Cantonese and have some acting experience. However, unfortunately, the deputy assigned to Lu Qiang before said that he was unavailable because of something unexpected, so now the situation is more embarrassing.
Director Xu Yuan blew his beard and stared: "What should I do?! I still don't believe that such a big crew can't find a second person."
Seeing Xu Yuan's angry look, the assistant director quickly took out a loudspeaker and was about to shout. Li Xiao rushed forward and said eagerly: "Director, can you let me try it?"
Xu Yuan groaned, turned his head, glanced at Li Xiao up and down, and asked, "Can you speak Cantonese?"
"Um."
Li Xiao nodded, and then said something impromptu in Cantonese.
After spending more than ten years in the world of Heroes, my Cantonese can't be more authentic.
Xu Yuan nodded after hearing this and asked: "Is your acting skill good?"
Xu Yuan is a relatively well-known director, and he is naturally very strict in selecting actors with important roles, so acting skills are something he pays great attention to.
The assistant director took over and said: "This person was recommended by Yang Lin and has filmed many movies. I think he can give it a try."
Hearing this, Xu Yuan looked deeply at Li Xiao, and after pondering for a moment, he finally nodded and said, "Okay, let him try. However, if the effect is not satisfactory, he will be replaced. Young man, seize the opportunity."
.”
Li Xiao smiled and said, "Thank you, director."
After waiting for the crew to finish eating and rest for a while, the tense afternoon filming started again.
To the director's expectation, the scene between Lu Qiang and Li Xiao went very smoothly in the afternoon, and could even be said to be very satisfying!
Through his experience in the world of heroes, Li Xiao has a domineering temperament in him. He interprets the role of being bold, ruthless, and caring for his brothers to the fullest. There is no trace of acting and it looks real.
And natural. It gives people the feeling that Li Xiao has completely integrated into the character in the play, regardless of you and me!
"Ka, this is a very good performance!"
After filming this scene, the director said three good words in a row.
Xu Yuan was very lucky that during today's filming, he discovered a good talent.
The assistant director was particularly surprised by Li Xiao's rapid improvement in acting.
Many actors and actresses were so impressed by Li Xiao's performance that they felt ashamed. When Li Xiao finished his performance, everyone called him "Brother Xiao". Li Xiao has become a model of actor's counterattack.
