I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 325: The Lame Man (asking for monthly ticket)

Although the live broadcast was cut off, the filming continued.

Jinli asked Gu Cheng and the others to buy a few packs of good cigarettes. Yan Xingdong immediately understood Jinli's idea, but he still had concerns.

"Giving out cigarettes can only make the security guards behave better, but their job rules are there. They can't let strangers into the crew. How are we going to get in front of the director? Should we ask the security guards to teach us how to play extras?"

Jinli smiled: "This is one of the reasons. The security guard obviously knows more than us. If we can get first-hand information from him, it will definitely be faster than what is circulated on the Internet.

The second thing is that we have to bring our own resumes. Even if we can’t get in, we can just stand at the door and wait for a long time. Maybe someone from the crew will come out and recommend themselves.”

Chen Lin asked: "Is it okay even if I don't recommend it to the director?"

Jinli nodded: "It's best to recommend it to the director, but if you can't get into the crew and just stand at the door waiting, it's hard to wait for the director. Instead, you're more likely to wait for crew members or actors.

So the key to this method is to look at the first way, ask the security brother to point out a clear way, and the second way is just to do it at will. "

She actually thought of another way, which was to pretend that she had successfully applied for the job.

First, build a good relationship with the security guard, get close to him, and get information whether the crew is recruiting.

If you have any information about this, take out your resume, say that you have been recruited by the crew, and have contacted the staff, and ask the security guard to confirm it.

If the crew wasn't busy, this trick would have been discovered quickly.

But if the crew is very busy and the production staff just happened to have recently posted a notice recruiting extras, it would be easy to sneak in.

Don't think that this method is difficult to blend in. In fact, being busy is the norm for all crews. As the crews rush to meet deadlines, there are not enough roles, and the production staff will send out recruitment requests every two or three days.

These people are different from extras. They need to have certain performance experience, so the stage management is needed.

Of course, if more important actors are to be recruited, that is the director’s job.

Jinli observed the crew when filming. Even for the low-budget production "Assassination", they had to recruit people every two or three days.

She asked the stage manager if they could recruit people every time.

The stagehand shook his head and said, "I can always find someone, but I may not always find someone who meets the requirements. When many actors come, I will let them wait first. If there is a suitable one, I will let them act. If there is no suitable one, I will continue to wait to ensure sufficient flow of actors."

If this method is used in a more rigorous large-scale production, it would be difficult to fish in troubled waters, but if it is used in those small and messy crews, it would be easy to blend in.

If you meet the stage manager and are recognized by him, you can still say that you are here to apply for a supporting role and leave an impression on him.

Maybe the venue staff likes you and arrange the job for you.

As long as the crew is busy, everything is possible.

But this set of procedures requires the right time, place and people to blend in, so Jinli just thought about it and didn't say it out loud.

Moreover, when this method is spoken out, it actually sounds more like filming a movie than filming a movie.

Many people find it difficult to get in touch with something they have never been exposed to before. But once they enter the industry, they will find that the world is a huge makeshift team.

After all, even trainees participating in large-scale idol audition programs can temporarily bring in a translator, or someone who has been practicing for less than 10 days to make up the numbers, right?

Marchday bought a bunch of gifts and headed back to the third modern crew.

Before asking, they also customized a set of scripts.

How should they answer the security guard's question? How should they take the initiative and ask the security guard some questions? Finally, they can chat about some incident to achieve their purpose of asking questions.

At this point in the program recording, the director began to find it interesting.

Is this just a supporting role?
Why does it feel like I'm teaching you the ways of the world?

The director had a hunch that the early preparations would be more exciting than actually playing a supporting role.

After much deliberation, the director decided not to start the live broadcast of the segment where March Day and the others were communicating with the security guards, intending to leave it as a suspense and reveal it in the main program.

In the afternoon, the sun is just right.

Marchday and the sisters are ready to go again, regroup and come to the third crew.

The security guard put his hands behind his back and walked leisurely back and forth at the gate, occasionally basking in the sun, looking so relaxed and comfortable.

As they walked over, the security guard looked up at them because there were so many of them.

Chen Lin took the lead and handed him a pack of soft Zhonghua cigarettes.

The security guard immediately waved his hand and said no, but Chen Lin stuffed it into the front pocket of his uniform, then asked in a low voice with a shameless face: "Brother, let me ask you a question, is this crew still recruiting extras?"

The security guard got a pack of cigarettes and was in a good mood. He looked at them and asked, "Do you want to be an extra?"

Yan Xingdong said: "Yes, we——"

He suddenly had an idea and changed the originally planned background, and said:
"We are all tourists who come to the film and television city. We have seen and played, and we just want to experience being an extra. This way the trip will be complete, and we will have face when we go back and talk about it."

The security guard's smile deepened.

Compared to coming from other places to look for a job or wanting to be a supporting actor to support his family, Yan Xingdong's experience as a tourist makes him less stressed.

When the others heard Yan Xingdong's change of words, they couldn't help but praise him in their hearts: "What a great change!"

The security guard asked: "Did you sign up for a tour group when you came to the film and television city? Generally, tour groups will arrange for you to experience the extras."

Yan Xingdong's eyes lit up. It seemed that there were many people who went there under this pretext to experience being a supporting actor.

Seeing this, the others also knew how to cooperate, saying at the same time, "I felt that this paid item of the tour group was a rip-off, so I didn't sign up," "I didn't see this item," "It's too bad that the supporting roles have to soak in the water"...

The security guard nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Yes, yes, yes, there are many charges that are out of control!"

Yan Xingdong asked: "So, big brother, we just want to ask you, is this crew hiring extras? We can just walk around as a background wall, just to experience the atmosphere of the crew."

The security guard hesitated, and Chen Lin handed him a pack of soft Zhonghua cigarettes at the right time.

The security guard said, "Yes, there are, but there are too many of you——"

Jinli immediately said: "It's okay, it's okay if only one person experiences it, we'll take a few photos of that person!"

Security guard: "Okay, then you guys follow me. The stage manager said today that we need to find a few people for the coffee shop scene, but they don't want to be ordinary extras. It's best if they look more energetic and cultured, because the setting of that coffee shop is relatively expensive."

He led them in and said as he walked, "After you go in, don't say it was me who brought you in. Let's see what the ground staff says first.

If the production staff wants you, you stay and shoot. If the production staff doesn't want you, you come out with me and don't say anything. These roles have already been found by others, and I don't want to offend that person. "

Others responded: "Okay, we know the rules!"

When they were communicating with the security guards, the camera crew stopped following them and instead gave each of them a handheld camera.

Because they told the security guard that they were tourists, it didn't seem weird to see them holding a camera.

But once they entered the crew, they couldn't make such a gesture, so everyone hung the camera around their necks and adjusted the camera angles in advance. After March Day and the others entered the crew, the director team stayed outside and waited.

The director made a bet with the screenwriter about when they would come out.

Screenwriter: "They all went in with cameras, it's so obvious, their identities will definitely be suspected soon. I bet they will be out in 10 minutes!"

The director thought for a moment and said, "I think the reason they came up with this method is very good. I'll bet for half an hour."

But neither of them expected that they would stay there for the entire afternoon.

If the guests hadn't been sending messages and sharing photos of filming in the group chat from time to time, the production crew would have been a little worried about their personal safety.
-
The security guard brought them to the field staff and talked to them first.

Upon hearing this, the stagehand raised his head and glanced at March Day and the others. He felt that they all had the demeanor of stars.

The groundskeeper said with interest: "Take off your hats and masks, so I can see what you look like."

The young men were nervous and picked them all with trepidation.

No one was wearing makeup, which was different from the image that appeared in the camera. The field staff were busy with their work every day and were not big fans of celebrities, even the security guards were not fans of celebrities.

The stars that they are familiar with are all older actors.

So at this glance, neither of them recognized March Day and the others, including Jinli and Qi Guan Mingzhu, none of them recognized them.

But even if they didn't recognize them, the images of these people still made the stage staff's eyes light up.

You look good!
Although not the typical thick eyebrows, big eyes, bright and elegant type, it fits the current popular style of young men and women.

The stage manager looked at them carefully. When San Yue Tian and the others were anxiously wondering if they had been recognized, he suddenly asked, "Has anyone ever told you that you look like celebrities? Do people nowadays like to see people like you?"

Jinli shook her head cleverly: "No, some people do say that we look like a certain celebrity, but good-looking people all have similar facial features, what do you think, brother?"

The stagehand laughed: "Yes, yes, good-looking people all look alike. I agree with that. Sometimes I can't tell who is who. They are all handsome men and beautiful women anyway."

The security guard asked: "Brother An, do they meet your requirements? These people are tourists who just come here to experience what it's like to be an extra."

The stagehand waved his hand and said, "Okay, you guys come on and act. We'll shoot a few scenes later. As for the costumes..."

He glanced at San Yue Tian and the others and said simply, "What you are wearing will do. Although it is very ordinary, it looks very fashionable."

The stagehands had sharp eyes and couldn't recognize who they were, but he could tell that the clothes they wore were made of good material and were obviously high-end goods.

It just so happened that the background setting of that coffee shop was quite high-end, making it suitable for people dressed like this to go in and spend money.

But when Jinli and the others go to film, they have to take off the cameras.

So Jinli asked the security guard to help them film the acting process and record the whole process, and was willing to pay him.

Jinli took the initiative to say: "We will never take the initiative to announce it. If you are worried, we can still sign a contract."

Seeing that they knew everything, the security guard agreed.

“Okay, I’ll tell you the usual story. Even if we’re only shooting for an afternoon, we still have to sign a contract, and it has a confidentiality clause.

If the video is spread, the crew will soon find out that you are the one who spread it, and will ask you to pay a large amount of liquidated damages. Since you understand the rules, I will help you shoot it. "

If others are not afraid, then he who is paid for his work should be even less afraid. Anyway, he will not be held responsible if anything goes wrong.

In this way, Jinli and others started their first supporting role career smoothly.

When the first scene was filmed, the male and female protagonists did not appear. San Yuetian, Jinli and Qi Guan Mingzhu sat separately in the coffee shop.

The camera swept across their faces without makeup.

The executive director is in charge of this shot, and he is the one who shoots some unimportant scenes.

Unlike the stagehands and security guards, the executive director is a young man.

When he controlled the camera to shoot March Day and others, he was stunned and frowned.

Why do these people's faces look so familiar?
It seems like some celebrities.

But for a moment, he couldn't call out the names of those stars.

The stagehand was right next to the executive director, who asked, "Where did you find these people? They look so good on camera, are they real stars?"

The stagehand brought out Jinli's explanation, "They said that people always thought she was a star before, but it was all a misunderstanding. Good-looking people have similar facial features."

The executive director couldn't help but nodded. This was a very pertinent and reasonable statement.

San Yue Tian, ​​Jin Li and others filmed four scenes in succession. In each scene, they kept adjusting and changing the positions. It might be that men and women sat together, or men and women sat separately, and they also tried sitting alone.

I don’t know if it was because the man was handsome and the woman was pretty, but the executive director seemed to be in a good mood and couldn’t help but shoot the background scene several times.

The setting of the cafe is originally more like a high-end cafe, and with the backdrop of handsome men and beautiful women, it becomes more tasteful and stylish.

When this scene was about to be finished, the male and female protagonists finally arrived at the scene, and they were going to have a tit-for-tat conversation.

In this scene, the male and female protagonists are still in a hostile relationship and have not developed any feelings for each other. Even if they have a good impression of each other, it is just an appreciation of being evenly matched.

When Yan Xingdong saw the male lead, he thought to himself that something was wrong, and quickly turned his head to the side, lowering his voice and saying quickly, "Why is this drama filmed by Cheng Zhizhi?"

Chen Lin was stunned: "Cheng Zhizhi? Our junior fellow apprentice, he is actually the leading actor?"

He wanted to turn around to look, but Luo Yi immediately pressed his head back.

Luo Yi said like a thief: "Don't look, it will be more obvious if you look back!"

Chen Lin: "But they are stars. Don't many people look back when stars appear? If we don't look back, won't we stand out even more?"

The other three:...

Damn, what the youngest said makes sense!

"Sister Jinli!"

Before San Yuetian could figure out how to respond, Jinli just glanced at Cheng Zhizhi and was immediately recognized by him!

Oh my, watching a major exposure scene.

Frankly speaking, it is so cool to work two days and rest one day, and then work two days and rest two days. Tomorrow is another holiday, so happy (/≧▽≦)/~[Cheers]~(￣▽￣)~*ps: There is a monthly ticket activity in the discussion area.
