After a silent night, Han Fei was woken up by a burst of heat early in the morning. When he stood up, he was already soaked. The air conditioner that had been used for who knows how many years was making noises and shaking, which made people feel uncomfortable.
I wonder if it will break free from the nails and fall off the wall at some point.
He turned on his phone and found that it was only half past six in the morning. Seeing that Jiang Qinghou was still sleeping soundly, Han Fei wiped his face, picked up the script and got up and left the room. The air outside the hotel was quite refreshing, although the temperature
It's very high, but not as hot as the room.
Han Fei opened the script and continued to study it. Jiang Qinghou said that recently the crew was looking for male and female roles, and it might not be his turn so soon, but it never hurts to prepare in advance.
There is a park next to the hotel. Han Fei found that the chairs in the park were occupied by some extras, and many people even used paper cushions to sleep on the ground. For groups like extras who do not have a fixed income, camping in the park is really a good idea in the summer.
means of saving money.
"Damn it, who the hell stole my luggage?" A tender-faced boy yelled angrily after waking up.
Ahem, okay, if you didn’t leave your luggage with your friends, or if your clothes are so worn that no one can wear them, then this method is obviously not suitable for you.
Han Fei found a slate and sat down, opened the script, studied it, and framed some important lines. This was also the experience he gained from acting in dramas. Lines are the most direct way for actors to express the character's mentality and emotions. A mature film
Every line in the script is the essence.
The same is true for the character "Mike". He doesn't have many lines, only twenty lines in total. Han Fei's task is to understand this character thoroughly, and then let the audience remember these lines before he finishes speaking.
Own.
Not long after, the script in Han Fei's hand was changed beyond recognition. He looked at his phone and found that it was almost eight o'clock. He quickly bought breakfast and ran to the hotel.
After being woken up, Jiang Qinghou looked at the time and stretched lazily: "No hurry, it's still early."
"Didn't the notice say that work will start at eight o'clock?" Han Fei asked.
"Hey, we'll find out when you get to the set." Jiang Qinghou ate breakfast slowly before taking the lead to go out.
In fact, the drama "Big Beard" does not need to be filmed in Hengdian at all. After all, it is a modern drama and does not need the ancient landscape here. Jiang Qinghou said that the main reason why he chose to film in Hengdian is this
The extras on the side are cheap.
At first, Han Fei was a little disapproving. After all, even "Young and Dangerous" only had one or two hundred extras at most. But when he actually arrived at the scene, Han Fei took a breath of cold air. If he hadn't been in Hengdian, he would probably
We have already been reported for illegal assembly.
Looking around, there were at least seven to eight hundred extras, apparently led by three group leaders, forming three chaotic formations. Han Fei also discovered the Wu Hui he saw at the barbecue stall last night among them.
Don't tell me, I saw him dressed up like a dog today, it really looked like that.
"Actually, Wu Hui, the extra, can handle this all by himself. Do you know why the crew needs three group leaders?" Jiang Qinghou patted Han Fei on the shoulder.
Han Fei said in a deep voice: "Check and balance each other?"
"Smart, the customers bully the stores, these group leaders are all thieves, and it is a routine operation to take advantage of free money. They are like vultures on the grassland, greedily staring at everything that can become food!" Jiang
Qinghou's voice was full of disgust.
A photo suddenly appeared in Han Fei's mind. It was a boy who was as skinny as bones, struggling on the edge of death. A vulture looked taller than the boy, and it squatted coldly next to the boy.
Behind him, he was quietly waiting for his death, while a large group of vultures were also circling over the boy in the sky.
"Is this too exaggerated?" Han Fei shuddered.
"You'll know later." Jiang Qinghou shrugged.
It was approaching nine o'clock, and the bearded man and the producer arrived belatedly. Three extras quickly came to greet them, nodding and bowing and saying something. The bearded man seemed to say something while sitting on the chair and started laughing, and everyone followed suit.
A burst of laughter.
Suddenly, I heard the bearded man shouting: "Hou Zi, surround me with the entire crew, you bastards, give me points one by one."
Soon there was a commotion among the extras, and Jiang Qinghou and two stage managers began to count heads. But what puzzled Han Fei was that although Huang Hui and the other three looked a little ugly, they didn't seem too worried.
Soon Jiang Qinghou counted the number of people and handed it to Big Beard. Big Beard looked at the notebook and threw it to the ground: "You are really ruthless. I asked for a thousand people, but you dare to eat two hundred and fifty."
Empty salary for four heads. Fortunately, I don’t want to fight, otherwise I would be cheated by you and die!”
The three of them, Huang Hui, looked at each other and quickly explained: "Director Wan, you misunderstood. It's really that there is not enough manpower recently, and some people are sick..."
"You guys are just talking nonsense to me. I still don't know how stupid you are?" the bearded man sneered.
Then the bearded man scolded them severely again. When the producer saw that they were done, he interjected: "Director Wan, I don't think they meant it. Why don't we just do this today and let them make up the number tomorrow?"
, it’s hard to delay the filming progress, isn’t it?”
"Yes~~~ We will definitely replenish the number tomorrow." Huang Hui and the other two promised again and again.
"Okay, that's it, get out of here, I'll get annoyed when I see you!" The bearded man cursed and stood up.
A farce seems to be over, but Han Fei understands that it is impossible to prevent the group leader from taking free money and not deducting the salary of the extras. To put it bluntly, today's scene is a scene jointly directed by Big Beard and the producer.
The purpose of the show is to beat Huang Hui and the other three. This is my crew and I have the final say. Don't go too far.
But that's all. The crew and the group leaders are interdependent, just like a company and an agency. Although the agency eats both sides, its existence not only helps the crew recruit extra actors quickly, but more importantly, it helps the crew
Manage extras, otherwise the crew alone would have to manage hundreds or even thousands of extras, and the management costs alone would be enough to drain the crew.
"Okay, don't watch the excitement. I'll take you to take your makeup photos first." Jiang Qinghou patted Han Fei on the shoulder.
Han Fei was stunned for a moment. In fact, he hadn't read the complete script yet, and he didn't know what the role of "Mike" was. But being able to take the final makeup photo, it was obvious that the role of "Mike" had a role in the play.
Higher than he imagined.
It seems that every male makeup artist has a dream to become Teacher Tony, and the one who does makeup for Han Fei is similar. I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but Han Fei always feels that this guy is a bit girly.
"Wow, so handsome!"
Han Fei couldn't stand it anymore, so he quickly got up and went next door to try on clothes.
