After another three days of filming, the scenes for the role of Wei Dong were completed. The process went smoothly. After all, Chen Feng's acting skills are already at level 3, and there were no particularly difficult scenes, so it was easy to shoot.
What difficulty.
After the filming was completed, the crew gave me money very happily. This made Chen Feng very satisfied.
In the next few days, Chen Feng worked as a supporting role again and continued to stay on the crew. Naturally, his relationship with Fat Brother, the leader of the group, became better and better day by day. Especially after Fat Brother knew that Chen Feng was valued by Director Wang, so did Fat Brother
Take the initiative to make friends with him.
During a few chats, Chen Feng said intentionally or unintentionally that he wanted to make an independent film. Fat Brother was also very loyal and said that if he really wanted to make it, he could help find actors, photographers, or help with hiring.
Go ahead and do some drama chores or something.
In this way, almost ten days later, the TV series "The Gunslinger" was finally completed. Chen Feng, as a small role actor who had signed a contract, was also invited to attend the finalization banquet.
Because it was held in the evening, Chen Feng specifically asked for leave from the bar and did not go to sing again.
The banquet was held at a four-star hotel not far from the film and television city. Basically all the crew and actors came, totaling more than 200 people.
Chen Feng consciously found a side table and sat down. The people at the same table were basically actors with small roles in the play.
Among them are two actors that Chen Feng wants to join the crew. Chen Feng has been on the crew for so many days, not just as an extra. He is also observing whether there are any good actors in the crew.
The two actors I'm interested in are both quite a bit older, the younger one is in his thirties and the older one is in his fifties.
Judging from their appearance, both of them are more suitable for the roles in Chen Feng's mind.
Before, Chen Feng had no chance to say anything to them. After all, they both had small roles in "The Gunslinger" and left right after the performance.
It's rare for everyone to get together this time, so of course Chen Feng wants to get to know them and then let them join his crew.
When almost everyone arrived and the agreed time was eight o'clock in the evening, Wang Weidong announced that the closing banquet would officially begin.
First, the producer stood up and spoke for a few minutes. Then, director Wang Weidong spoke. He didn't make a long speech. He just said some words of thanks, toasted everyone with a glass of wine, and then sat down.
After that, it was natural to start eating and chatting. Chen Feng was relatively young at the table, so he took the initiative to toast and introduce himself to the seniors at the table one by one, and at the same time, he also got the phone numbers and names of these people.
After drinking for three rounds, Wang Weidong and the producer held the wine together and toasted everyone at the table. Even their table was treated equally.
However, after arriving at their table, Wang Weidong took the initiative to introduce Chen Feng to the producer: "This young man's name is Chen Feng, and his acting skills are pretty good. I asked him to play Wei Dong, and he performed very well."
The producer was an investor. Hearing this, he couldn't help but look at Chen Feng with admiration. He handed him a business card and said politely: "If there is an opportunity in the future, we will cooperate again."
As soon as the two big guys left, Chen Feng immediately felt that the attitude of the young actors at the same table towards him was very different.
One person said with envy on his face: "Chen Feng, Director Wang is famous for being strict in the circle. Very few people can get his praise. I didn't expect you to get it. It really impresses me."
Another person said jokingly: "Are you a relative of Director Wang? Otherwise, how could he recommend you in front of Producer Li. Producer Li is the director of Ronghua Film and Television, a well-known investor and director in the industry.
Producer. If he takes notice of you and praises you, you may become an instant success."
Some people didn’t know about Producer Li’s background. When they heard what this person said, they were immediately shocked and envious. Of course, there was also jealousy.
Of course Chen Feng is not excited about this, because he plans to make his own movies next, so how can he still work for others? He wants to be an actor and act in his own movies.
Therefore, he seemed very indifferent and calm. His attitude actually made many people here think more highly of him.
Next, while there was still time, Chen Feng took the initiative to toast to other tables. Of course, he would also foolishly toast to each table. If he did, he would be asking for trouble. Instead, he went to toast Director Wang and Li Qiang first, thanking them.
He took care of him. Then, he went to toast to a few crew members he liked. Among them were two photography assistants. He successfully got their phone numbers.
In addition, he didn't go to toast the others. One was because he wasn't familiar with them, and the other was that he didn't want to bring trouble to himself. After all, he was a minor character now, and no one would take him seriously.
Liu Qinfei is his investor now, but with so many people, it is certainly not easy for him to toast to her alone.
In this way, until the end of the banquet, Chen Feng's purpose of attending the closing banquet this time can be regarded as achieved.
The next day, he called the two actors and camera assistants he was interested in.
After offering the two actors a salary of 30,000 and 50,000 respectively, the two happily agreed. There was no need for Chen Feng to read the script to them. After all, young actors like them have no status at all.
They can only make money from role acting. And Chen Feng also said that this is a small-cost independent film, and the shooting period will not exceed one month. They can earn tens of thousands in one month. Of course, for young actors like them,
Very attractive.
The invitation from the two photography assistants did not go so smoothly. As soon as he explained his intention, he was immediately rejected. Chen Feng was cruel and offered a reward of 100,000 yuan, but the two of them refused after a slight hesitation.
The reason is very simple. Those of them who do photography are already very profitable. What's more, these two assistants follow the main photographer. The main photographer has a job, so they also have a job. The main photographer eats meat and they eat soup.
There are tens of thousands in one month, and the more important thing is to accumulate connections in the industry. Therefore, they cannot go out alone and follow Chen Feng's crew for a month.
Chen Feng was very disappointed with this, but he could only find another way.
Chen Feng directly called the fat brother Jia Yong and asked him to help find three actresses: one older, with a teaching temperament, two younger women; two male actors, both in their forties and fifties.
of.
In addition, of course I also need his help to find a photographer.
Jia Yong agreed immediately and said he would help him find it as soon as possible.
Jia Yong is quite reliable. The next day he said that he had found a few actors and a photographer and had made an appointment with them to meet at his home at noon.
Of course Chen Feng was overjoyed and immediately took a taxi to where he lived.
