Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 72 Accept our punishment!

"Director Wu, are you home yet?"

The next day.

Sitting on the train back to school, Chen Cheng called Wu Jingyuan.

Wu Jingyuan replied directly: "Why go home? I still have to deal with the later stage of the Immortal Sword."

"Oh, I forgot."

Chen Cheng nodded.

The completion of filming for The Legend of Sword and Fairy only means that the show has been finished, but it does not mean that the entire show has been completed.

He is also involved in editing, special effects, and even reshooting some shots later if necessary.

Even after all these are completed, it still needs to go through review, promotion, transaction... and so on.

"But it will be soon. With Tangren's qualifications and the market's reaction, we should be able to see it in three months."

"Three months is fine, but it will involve the specific price and which TV station to trade with. If it's troublesome, it's normal to wait for one or two years."

"This too."

After chatting with Wu Jingyuan, Chen Cheng was thinking about Xiao Wu and the others, so he said, "Director Wu, I have something to trouble you with."

"If you want to cause trouble, just call me Boss Wu."

"Ahem...Boss Wu."

"That's more like it. We're not on the set, and Director Wu seems a bit distant. What's the matter? Tell me now."

Wu Jingyuan smiled.

I don't know why, but this kid Chen Cheng just suits his temper.

"It's not a big deal, just, do you need anyone over there?"

"What are you doing?"

"Well, well... you know, I started out as a production worker. So, in the crew, I often get along well with many of the behind-the-scenes staff. Like Xiao Wu, Da Long... them. However, I talked to them at the wrap party yesterday, and they haven't found their next project yet. You know, the behind-the-scenes staff only get a fixed salary, which is actually almost the same as working. If they don't get any work for a few months, their lives will be in trouble."

"You are quite good, you are an assistant director now, but you still remember your roots."

"Boss Wu, please stop teasing me."

"Okay, tell them and come find me when the time comes."

"Thank you so much, Boss Wu."

"What are you thanking me for? I remember that Xiao Wu. His makeup and art skills were very high. In fact, I wanted to recruit him before. And that Da Long, although he started out as an extra, he has good physical fitness. I also want to sign him."

"Oh my god, Boss Wu, if you want to sign, why don't you take action?"

"I thought they were all with you, how could they dare to sign."

"I……"

Chen Cheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

After going around in circles, Chen Cheng finally discovered it.

The reason why Xiao Wu, Da Long and the others have no movies to shoot is not because they are incompetent, but because of their own reasons.

Then he sighed and said, "I also want them to follow me, but you can see that I have no experience or resources, and I have to fight alone. If I really accept them, they will starve to death. But, Boss Wu, remember to give them back to me in the future."

"Damn it, you want me to help you support the team."

"I call you the boss. You are my boss. Helping me raise the child is not the same as helping you raise the child. Don't you agree?"

"You are good at talking."

Wu Jingyuan nodded: "Okay, I'll help you look after it for a few years. However, I advise you to sign a contract with the company as soon as possible. In this way, you can also form your own team. When you meet some good seedlings, you can also let them follow you. In the future, when you go out, you won't be fighting alone, you can directly bring a team over."

"clear."

Chen Cheng thanked Wu Jingyuan again.

……

"Director Chen is back."

"Little Bandit, where did you hear that nickname?"

"What kind of nickname is that? You're actually a director. Wow, that's amazing..."

Chen Cheng's return to school still attracted the attention of many classmates.

Although Chen Cheng has been filming recently, he has been doing behind-the-scenes work and has rarely appeared in the media.

But how could the students of Beijing Film Academy not know what’s going on in the circle?

"What's so great about that? I'm just helping the director."

Chen Cheng felt a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, we were all classmates, although I felt envious when I first met Chen Cheng.

But after a few days, everyone calmed down.

There are too many stars and too many well-known figures in Beijing Film Academy.

There would always be rumors in the school about which classmate was going to be famous, or which senior was doing so well in the film industry.

of course.

Chen Cheng's return to school was still accompanied by calls from a number of agencies.

Some of the conditions offered were quite tempting, but Chen Cheng, like before, neither agreed nor refused.

He is still waiting.

As for what to wait for.

That is to wait for the broadcast of "The Return of Condor Heroes".

Everything is ok.

On the third day after Chen Cheng returned to school, news came that The Return of the Condor Heroes was about to be broadcast.

"I heard that The Condor Heroes is going to be broadcast soon?"

"Oh, really? Which channel?"

"Qilu TV Station."

"I finally waited for The Condor Heroes. I'm really looking forward to this drama. When will it be aired?"

“I don’t know the exact time, but judging by their pre-launch and publicity, it should be soon.”

As a martial arts drama, The Return of the Condor Heroes has always been very popular.

Needless to say.

Even if it is remade again and again, countless audiences still look forward to it every time.

of course.

As the producer of The Return of the Condor Heroes, they have also stepped up the publicity of The Return of the Condor Heroes as it is about to be aired.

This also made Chen Cheng a little excited.

Although he had filmed many movies in his previous life and had always appeared on the screen.

But this is the first time he has participated in the production of a drama as a behind-the-scenes staff member.

Strictly speaking, it's the second time.

But the first time I was a field worker, doing just odd jobs.

If this is said to be participating in the production, it is equivalent to participating in the 10 billion yuan Jiwufu project in the previous life.

This is somewhat different from being an actor in my previous life.

Just as Chen Cheng worked behind the scenes during this period, he always regarded the work he was doing as his own work.

Even if he only completed part of this work, it still belongs to him.

and.

It will also have its name on it.

Chen Cheng feels that this is more fulfilling than being an actor.

……

"Chen Cheng, let's watch TV together tonight."

After class on Friday, Zhang Xiaofei stopped Chen Cheng who was about to return to his residence.

"watch TV?"

Chen Cheng asked, "The head teacher said that we should all watch TV together tonight."

"Oh, which one?"

"Of course it's The Condor Heroes."

"what……"

"What? The Return of the Condor Heroes is going to be broadcast tonight. It's a martial arts drama for our Beijing Film Academy, as both the male and female protagonists are in it. This is an honor for our Beijing Film Academy. Of course, there's also you, our martial arts instructor. Not only our class, but some other classes are also going to watch The Return of the Condor Heroes together tonight."

"Why make such a big deal of it? It makes me want to prepare a signature pen so I can sign autographs for everyone."

"Sure, sure... But you have to be prepared first. People are very picky about The Condor Heroes. If you don't film it well, you have to be prepared to be scolded."

"Well...then you guys just watch. I'm afraid of being scolded."

Chen Cheng pretended to leave.

Zhang Xiaofei stopped him and said, "Don't leave. Please be more professional. Big stars and big directors still have to accept criticism from the audience no matter how well they shoot."

"I'm not a big star or a big director. Besides, you're not the real audience."

"What are we not really the audience for?"

“You are trolls.”

This was not the first time Chen Cheng had dealt with them.

Whenever a group of classmates watch TV or movies together, there will be a lot of complaints.

"You are the troll."

Zhang Xiaofei stepped forward and said, "If you don't come, I will ask the boys in the class to tie you to the window. Then I will stick a piece of white paper on you and write, 'The Worst Martial Arts Instructor in China. Accept our punishment.'"

"So cruel."

"Be afraid."

"Okay, okay, I'm scared of you. Be gentle tonight. I'm weak and can't stand it..."

Helpless, Chen Cheng had to agree.
