This star just wants to make more money

Chapter 43 Teacher Xu Feng loves to joke
good question!
Xu Feng complained in his heart - this is not a question of whether he wants to enter the entertainment industry, but his business must involve the entire entertainment industry.

What Xu Feng urgently wants to do is to accumulate a considerable amount of wealth as quickly as possible, to have some works that can continuously provide him with income, and to have the ability to support himself.

As long as it is not a temporary ability given by the system, other skill proficiency is permanent.

Xu Feng didn't go to see Yan Wei, but asked more detailed questions: "What plot are they filming, and why is it stuck for so long?"

Yan Wei is actually in this plot, but she is not directly involved in the rivalry in the cut scene. At this time, she is in a more relaxed state of mind and explains in detail: "We... uh, the protagonists go to other martial arts schools to challenge, and everything goes wrong. Director Song wants to highlight this low mood in various details, not just some statements."

"The main characters had to talk in the coffee shop. I and another supporting actor just sat on the side and talked. We didn't participate in the rival scenes. But the male lead was miserable. Director Song was not satisfied with such a simple shot no matter how he shot it. Now he has replaced three or four extras."

Xu Feng stared at the direction of the set and said, "Director Song has very high requirements for the quality of the lenses?"

He was actually a little worried that if the director's requirements were too high, but the amount of the red envelope was not large enough, the temporary capacity provided by the system might not be enough to cope with the commission.

Unlike skills like singing and playing musical instruments, improving your acting skills is not something you can accomplish by simply practicing with yourself in front of a mirror.

You have to complete a simple task first and accumulate some basic knowledge.

"That's right." Speaking of this, Yan Wei was a little proud and drank a full third of the bottle of milk tea in one gulp. "You can say that Director Song's filming is not good-looking, you can say that the box office is not so impressive, you can say that he is not very famous... But judging from the quality of each shot, it will not be worse than those famous masterpieces! Our director has a very good reputation. Our entire crew has high expectations for this "Liver and Gallbladder"!"

"Hehe, maybe I'll become famous overnight thanks to this drama?"

While the two were chatting, the scene was re-shot on the set, but Song Shi was still not satisfied.

After he sent the extra away, he walked around the venue aimlessly and began to have second thoughts about going.

The crew members have just confirmed that the actor they found before will never come to the set. Perhaps they can only find someone at random for this scene, as long as there are no major mistakes.

Still can't be perfect...

Just when the director was feeling a little depressed, a voice suddenly came from his ear: "Director Song, how about letting me give it a try?"

Song Shi suddenly turned his head and glanced at Xu Feng, who was squatting with Yan Wei watching the fun, with a look of surprise.

Even Yan Wei forgot to suck the milk tea in her hand, her eyes full of confusion - Teacher Xu Feng, I just said it casually, why did you take it seriously?
Wouldn't it be a joke for someone who has absolutely no acting skills to come on stage?
Xu Feng is a creator with works to his name, so the crew members don’t look at him as a traffic idol, but... everyone has their own expertise. How can one play a role well without systematic training?
Even if this character only appears for a dozen seconds.

Song Shi used his eyes to signal the rest of the crew to be quiet. He still had a smile on his face, but his tone was very serious: "Xu Feng, this is a very serious matter. Are you sure you are not joking?"

Xu Feng also nodded seriously and said, "I really want to give it a try."

"Okay." Song Shi didn't say anything else. He nodded and said, "You can go and play a guest role, but for the sake of the quality of the film, whether this scene can be released in the end depends on your final performance."

Or do you think of me as a "guest star" who wants to play around a bit...

Xu Feng knew that he had used the reputation he had accumulated to win an opportunity for himself, so he would not back down at this time: "Director Song, don't worry, I won't cause any trouble for the crew." "Okay, then I'll take up half of your afternoon." Song Shi glanced at his watch and said decisively, "With your current status, it's impossible to use the price of an ordinary extra. So... for half an afternoon, I'll give you a thousand yuan, how about that?"

It's like finding a boss with zero acting skills to play a role. It's impossible to really pay him based on the remuneration of college students as extras. This is a rule that everyone in the industry tacitly accepts and abides by - even if the shot is not released in the end, the money still has to be paid.

One thousand yuan to hire the producer of the ending song, a currently famous layman to play a cameo role with only a dozen seconds of appearance. This is a price that cannot be faulted at all, neither more nor less.

Of course, this does not mean that Xu Feng or those bosses will be able to rely on the crew for free food and drink in the future - the director only lets them come in for a cameo, which is the category of "having fun".

Unless it is a work specially tailored for a big boss, it is impossible to let them play important roles.

"You're really too polite...just make your request."

When Xu Feng heard the price, he was shocked. He originally thought that the remuneration he could get for taking such a commission would not be much higher than that of being a student extra.

A reward of one thousand yuan corresponds to the complexity of a commission for playing a role for more than ten seconds, so the temporary ability that can be obtained will definitely not be low!
When Song Shi heard Xu Feng's words, he laughed and joked: "So you weren't kidding when you said in your last live broadcast that you can do anything if you pay enough money? Young people nowadays are really amazing!"

The other crew members also laughed.

"Teacher Xu Feng is very capable!"

"Believe first, then believe!"

They knew that Xu Feng's words during the live broadcast were mainly to express his condemnation and contempt for the program crew, but bringing it up at this time could humorously ease the depressing atmosphere on the set.

Xu Feng secretly said that I was not kidding, and said to Song Shi: "Then let's start now? We should act as hateful as possible, right?"

The moment the commission is established, the system has given specific prompts.

【Delegation detected】

[Song Shi uses 1000 cash to entrust the host to play a face-to-face extra with an annoying character (performance duration is about 15 seconds)... Calculating]

[Based on the employment value, the host gains the buffs of "Performance +60" and "Line Memory +60"]

"Your summary is too brief. There will be a more detailed introduction in the script." Song Shi paused, "Don't you need the staff to take you to familiarize yourself with the set? Don't you need Yan Wei and the others to guide you on the most basic acting skills?"

Xu Feng patted his clothes, followed him up, and said with a smile: "What you learn from books is always shallow."

"I agree with that!" Song Shi nodded and called out to Yan Wei, who was still squatting on the side with a dazed look, "Yan Wei, go get the lines and script so that the new colleague can get familiar with the character and lines as soon as possible!"
