Chapter 567: There are no small roles, only small actors.
Jiangnan Province, the crew of Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky.
After several months of filming, Chicken Feathers Flying to the Sky is coming to an end. Wang Chengyang, who has been following the crew, has a much darker skin than a few months ago, and he is also more energetic.
Before he knew it, he had completely "integrated" into the team after one play.
"Xiao Wang, put away the machine. It's going to rain. We'll finish work early today."
"Xiao Wang, give me a hand and pull the slide rail."
"Xiao Wang, do you want to go and sing karaoke after work is over? Brother Liu is treating you."
"I said, Wang Chengyang is an actor in the same group. You are treating him like a coolie. One day he will become a big star and give you little shoes to wear."
"Hahaha! He is just a small actor and cannot become a star. How can there be a star who does heavy work with the crew every day?"
Bah! Who said I can’t become a star!
Wang Chengyang looked at the make-up artist on the set and said with a smile: "Sister Qing, please stop making fun of me. I only play a small role and I don't know what day I will become a star."
There are no small roles, only small actors!
This is a sentence I saw in the actor's self-cultivation. He likes it very much and has always regarded himself as a small role. He is not a small actor. This is a curse word in the industry.
"Wang Chengyang, put down your things and come over here." At the door of the director's studio, the director stuck his head out and called out.
"Coming!"
Wang Chengyang put down what he was doing and apologized to the cameraman, "Brother Hu, I'm sorry, I'll come back and move it for you later."
Apart from the director, the crew can learn the most from following the camera. Wang Chengyang has been hanging around the camera a lot in the past few months.
Even if you can't learn shooting techniques, understanding more about the basic principles of this profession will be a lot of help when it comes to acting and controlling the camera in the future.
"You kid, go ahead. The director's business is important. Maybe it's a good thing. I want to sign you."
"How is that possible? I would be happy to sign the contract."
Ignoring the cameraman's joke, Wang Chengyang clapped his hands and flicked the dust off his clothes. Seeing that the cuffs were dirty, he simply rolled up his sleeves.
He raised the corners of his mouth, showing a kind and unpretentious smile, and strode towards the director's studio.
"For low-level actors, every meeting with the director is a hard-won interview." This sentence was said by Zhang Yi accidentally once, and he remembered it in his heart at that time.
From then on, he was at his best every time he was in front of the director.
The effect is still there. After going back and forth dozens of times, the director can now call him by name.
"Director Xu, are you looking for me?" Wang Chengyang asked while standing by the door.
"Come in and talk."
Xu Ding stared at the picture on the monitor and said, "Do you know Mr. Fang?"
"Mr. Fang? Oh, we know each other. I was in the same team with him during Operation Ice Breaking and we had a scene together."
Wang Chengyang was stunned for two seconds before he realized which Mr. Fang Xu Ding was talking about. Naturally, the only person who could come out of his mouth was Fang Jing.
Of course he knew Fang Jing, but Fang Jing probably didn't know him.
But this does not prevent me from answering Xu Ding's question. If you ask me if I know him, I would not be lying if I said I knew him. No Chinese people know Fang Jing.
"No wonder, I remember he recommended you when you joined the group."
"Yes, Mr. Fang asked me to come. Thank you Director Xu for taking care of me for so long. You have given me many roles and I have learned a lot."
Although I didn’t know what Xu Ding meant, I just followed the topic.
Don't care what he means, I just picked up the sweet saying, "You can wear a lot of clothes, but you can't wear flattery."
Turning around, Xu Ding faced Wang Chengyang, "You have played many roles on the set. I have an impression of you. You have good acting skills and can endure hardships."
"Director Xu received the award. Thanks to the brothers and sisters of the crew for taking care of me and giving me a lot of guidance. Thanks to you for giving me such an opportunity to show myself."
"I'm stupid and I can't be as talented as others. I can only work harder and endure hardships. These are all things I should do.",
"You're a kid, you're well-spoken and very sophisticated. No wonder Mr. Fang specifically mentioned you. I originally planned to recommend you to join a group, but I don't need to now."
Looking back at the monitor, Xu Ding said without looking back: "I will report to the Nanjing headquarters before the end of the month. The company wants to sign you."
"Oh, I know, what am I going to do...ah?" Wang Chengyang was stunned and looked up at Xu Ding in disbelief. He wondered if he heard wrongly.
"You heard me right, even if I want to sign you, I don't know what luck you have, but Mr. Fang actually called me personally." Xu Ding joked: "Remember to take care of me if you get popular in the future."
"Thank you, Director Xu." Wang Chengyang was excited, "I will never forget what I learned on the set. Thank you for taking care of me. I..."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and go by yourself. I'm still busy watching a movie."
"Goodbye, Director Xu."
"Um!"
Turning his head and looking at Wang Chengyang's back, Xu Ding raised the corner of his mouth and said, "You look like a young man."
Fang Jing called him, but at first he didn't say he wanted to sign a contract, but asked if Wang Chengyang was still on the set and how he was doing.
He told the truth and even praised the young man. Only then did Fang Jing ask Wang Chengyang to go to the headquarters to sign a contract.
Returning to the set, Wang Chengyang worked very hard, as if his whole body had endless strength, and the joy that could not be concealed at the corner of his mouth was almost to the point of cracking the back of his head.
"Did your kid win the lottery?" Brother Tiger couldn't help but ask, "What's the silly fun about?"
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a little bit of fun. By the way, Brother Hu, I may have to leave the crew tomorrow. I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
Li Hu frowned, "Why are you leaving? This drama won't be finished for more than half a month. The director doesn't want you?"
"No, it has nothing to do with Director Xu. Let's talk about it tonight. Anyway, it's a good thing."
Li Hu, a rich and powerful man, has taken good care of him since he joined the crew. He is considered one of his few friends on the crew. Before leaving, he treated him to a meal, which was considered a formal farewell.
As for the others, he had no intention of informing them. The crew was a small society, and there were many people who did one thing in front of others but did another behind the scenes. He was bullied a lot when he first came here.
If I hadn't smoked two cigarettes a week and helped out with work, I wouldn't have been able to carry it until now.
He was an actor designated by Fang Jing, so he had a lot of opportunities to play roles, and many people were jealous.
Because of this incident, many people privately said that he was a young actor and could never get ahead in his life.
In the evening, at the barbecue stall, Wang Chengyang told Li Hu about his signing with Nanjing. The two opened a box of beer and got very drunk.
In a daze, Li Hu was still saying congratulations and congratulations.
The next day, I packed my luggage, said goodbye to the director, and Wang Chengyang left.
Operation Icebreaker was so popular that a few days later, the cast and crew found out that Wang Chengyang played the role of Huang Mao Lin Shengwen in the film, and when they wanted to have a relationship with him, they couldn't find anyone.
In fact, Fang Jing was also on the air in Operation Icebreaker, and he only thought of Wang Chengyang after watching a few episodes.
The two of them had played opposite each other on the set of Breaking the Ice before, and he found that this young man's acting skills were very good, and he completely outclassed the young actor.
In appearance, he is unremarkable, but he is very malleable. He can play a buffoon, a villain, a younger brother, or a decent person. If he is trained, he may be able to add a strong general to Nanjing in the future.
