"If you hadn't asked me to play a scholar, I wouldn't have had such an opportunity." Li Yi smiled and explained.
Although I had a lot of bad acting skills at that time, if I didn't have the talent and opportunities, I would still be buried among the many extras.
Therefore, opportunity and strength are both indispensable.
In certain situations, opportunity is even more important than strength.
At this time, a young man who was as skinny as a monkey asked tentatively: "Mr. Li Yi, do you and Brother Haizi know each other?"
"Yeah, I know you." Li Yi nodded.
For a moment, everyone looked at the person who had just mocked Haizi. The two men understood what everyone was looking at and lowered their heads and said nothing more.
At this time, Liu Hong walked towards Li Yi with a suit in his hand.
"Mr. Li Yi, here!" Liu Hong handed over the suit.
Li Yi took the suit and passed it to Haizi: "Brother Haizi, please change into this green military uniform. I'm about the same height as you. I just bought this. You put it on first. I'll have someone do it for you another day."
set."
Haizi shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, how can I ask you for a suit?"
"No, no!" Haizi emphasized again and again.
"Are you acting now?" Li Yi thought for a while and changed the topic.
Haizi was in a good mood and waved his hand: "I am just an ordinary group actor. I will act wherever there is a show."
"That's it." Li Yi thought to himself that Haizi was his guide, so why not help him, and said, "Why don't you and I go to the set, and I'll ask the staff if there is any need for extras. You put on this suit first.
, this way the success rate is also higher.”
After hearing what Li Yi said, the crowd immediately became shocked.
Someone asked Li Yi: "Brother Yi, which crew are you from?"
"Is it the one directed by Zhang Yimou? Do you think I can do it? I can play anything, even dead people."
"Tch, who can't kill people?" Another person volunteered: "I can play a soldier, and I can do anything as a eunuch. Do you need me?"
"Well," Li Yi suddenly became embarrassed, "If I have a chance, I can help you ask. You should also be more active. In fact, many crews are short of people, but you are unwilling to take the initiative."
"Okay, thank you brother!"
"Brother Yi, walk slowly! Brother Yi, be careful!"
Li Yi and Haizi left, leaving behind a bunch of extras.
Although the male cast members knew that what Li Yi said was polite, at least they listened to what they said, and they might not even give them the whole scene.
In society, there is no harm in having many friends.
The female extras were very distressed.
"Strange, why didn't Brother Yi even look at me just now?"
"He didn't even look at me!"
"What do you mean I didn't even look at you? Isn't that normal?"
There are actually some pretty girls among the extras in Hengdian.
They dream all day about being photographed by big directors and stars, and look forward to one day being able to fly on a branch and become a phoenix.
But in reality, what kind of women have not seen those big directors and stars?
Someone who is formal on the surface, but a slut behind the scenes; someone who exudes a seductive aura all over his body; someone who is simple and cute; someone who likes braided twin tails and os characters
Many actresses can rely on their bodies to gain a position, but not everyone can succeed, so it depends on who is more skilled.
Of course, Li Yi would not be caught for stealing something. He still had a sense of proportion in such matters.
So when faced with these female group performers, he just looked at them and didn't move his hands.
Li Yi and Haizi were walking on the way to the palace. Haizi told him some interesting stories from time to time, making everyone laugh.
It's just that Li Yi doesn't quite understand one thing. Now that he's taking Haizi to meet the crew, does it mean that Haizi doesn't care about his future at all?
Li Yi expressed his doubts.
Haizi disagreed, "Well, I've only been dawdling around as an extra. It can be said that I've never done anything I'm proud of in my life. The most successful thing is helping you become a big star. I'm already very satisfied with that."
Yes, I'm afraid it will cause you inconvenience later."
"It's okay. It should be okay to arrange one or two characters." Although Li Yi has no experience in this area, he feels that adding an extra performer should not be a big problem.
As they approached the palace, they noticed that Zhang Yimou was yelling at the stage manager, and behind the stage manager was a young man.
He lowered his head, his whole body was shaking, and he didn't dare to say a word.
"What kind of extra actor did you say you were looking for? You said this is your nephew. You want him to show off. I think that's okay, but he obviously can't act!" Zhang Yimou's expression was full of anger, as if the stage manager was
Once touched his reverse scale.
The stage manager kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, Director Zhang, I was wrong. I don't dare to interfere anymore. Give me a chance."
"Half a month's salary will be deducted!" After Zhang Yimou finished speaking, he glanced at the young man: "If you don't have acting skills, go learn it first. Don't think about relying on connections all day long!"
These words frightened Haizi who was not far away.
He hurriedly backed away and said to Li Yi: "Li Yi, I don't want to go. I'm afraid you will be scolded later! I'd better go to other crews to make a living. It doesn't matter if I don't act. Don't be fooled."
The director was criticized."
Li Yi was also a little hesitant. He didn't expect Zhang Yimou to be so strict with the extras.
"Brother Haizi, eh," Li Yi was a little embarrassed to say. After all, he promised to bring Haizi to the crew, but now he has not fulfilled his promise.
This makes Li Yi very embarrassed. Breaking promises is what he hates the most.
Just when Haizi was about to leave, Zhang Yimou looked towards Li Yi.
He was a little surprised, he didn't expect Li Yi to come to the set so early.
"Xiaoyi, why don't you rest for two days? It's okay, just rest." Zhang Yimou came over and asked, "Is your health okay?"
"It's okay, Uncle Zhang. It was really just an accident that day. Now I can kill several tigers." Li Yi explained with a smile.
Haizi didn't dare to look at Zhang Yimou, so he called Li Yi softly: "Li Yi, I'm leaving now. Let's chat some other time."
Li Yi hesitated to speak, but Zhang Yimou was by his side, so he had no choice but to watch him leave: "See you soon, Brother Haizi."
Seeing this situation, Zhang Yimou recalled what he had just scolded the stage manager. With his many years of experience, he could immediately guess what happened.
So he stopped Haizi: "Is this called Haizi? Is he an extra from Hengdian?"
Zhang Yimou's words stopped Haizi. He looked back at Zhang Yimou and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Director Zhang, I am an extra here."
"Xiao Yi, are you your friend?" Zhang Yimou asked Li Yi in turn.
Li Yi told Zhang Yimou about the kindness of meeting Haizi.
Zhang Yimou laughed and said: "That's right! I like you because you value friendship!"
Then he also told the reason: "I scolded the stage manager just now because his nephew can't act at all and stood there like a piece of wood. So why do I need such a person?"
"Since you can act, it's okay to arrange a role, and I see that your face is full of experience, so is there any problem in playing the role of a personal guard in the palace?" Zhang Yimou asked Haizi.
Haizi looked excited. He didn't know what to say and could only nod his head.
Li Yi also became curious: "Uncle Zhang, he plays a personal bodyguard, whose personal bodyguard is he playing?"
"Of course I will play your personal bodyguard, right, King Qin Yingzheng!" Zhang Yimou laughed and patted Li Yi on the shoulder.
After hearing this, Haizi looked at Li Yi expectantly: "I never thought we would have the opportunity to act with you!"
