Who are you calling "little fresh meat"? I'm the king.

Chapter 14 Ma Yili

Yes, mission dramas don’t lack funds…

Moreover, it is unlikely that there will be large-scale corruption...

This thing belongs to special funds.

This means that the director team has plenty of money to hire special guests and extras.

This is very important, you get what you pay for. The 300 yuan special is completely different from the 500 yuan one!
Just like fast food, the price is different and the experience is naturally different.

Ahem...

It's a mission drama like "National Anthem", and Gong Ruofei is a veteran director who pays attention to details...

Therefore, there will generally not be any mistakes in the shots.

Just like what Zhang Wuchou said, Shen Yan didn't get any roles that would make him appear in the next few days...

Then he can only get the basic salary...

If you have a role that shows your face, you will get an extra 300 a day. If you don't show your face, you will get the basic salary, 150...

Unlike "The Right Path of Life is Vicissitudes", in "National Anthem", Shen Yan did not get a role that runs through the whole series...

Not bad!
Food and accommodation are provided, and the basic salary is 4500.

Anyway, Shen Yan doesn't make money from acting.

The royalties from Lotus House will arrive this month—generally speaking, magazines pay royalties only after the manuscript is published in the magazine...

It’s not a one-time payment, usually a certain number of words are serialized over a month, and then at the end of the month, the payment is based on the price of 300 per thousand words...

and…

Those with less than 1,000 words will be discarded...

Although Shen Yan had some complaints, he was not Lu Xun!
Back then, Lu Xun submitted an article to a newspaper but found that the remuneration was incorrect, so he questioned the newspaper why. The newspaper replied: "Punctuation marks are not counted in the remuneration!" Lu Xun came up with an idea after hearing this. He sent out the article again without adding any punctuation marks or dividing it into paragraphs. Every piece of manuscript paper was covered with densely packed words, and it was pitch black.

The newspaper had no choice but to write to Lu Xun, saying: "Please divide the article into chapters and paragraphs and add new punctuation marks."

Lu Xun said: "Punctuation is not necessary, right? Otherwise, why is it not counted as a manuscript fee?"

So the editor obediently paid for the punctuation marks.

……

Actually, being an extra is pretty boring...

I spend most of my time waiting for the show, and I don’t make much!

If you can't follow the group and are just running around in groups, it will be even more difficult to survive.

Especially for BJ's extras, if you do the math, the rent alone would be hundreds of dollars, plus the daily expenses...

So, most of the extras went to Hengdian!

On the one hand, there are more opportunities in Hengdian, with more than a dozen crews shooting every day; on the other hand, the cost of living in Hengdian is indeed much lower than in BJ...

Film crews are also more willing to film in Hengdian. The most important thing is that the supporting facilities are complete and any needs can be met in one stop. You even just need to bring the script.

If I were somewhere else, I might even have to buy the lunch boxes for the crew myself.

After staying for about another week, Shen Yan was obviously a little restless!

how to say…

I was aroused by lust.

It's quite normal. After all, he's around 20 years old, in the prime of his life, and full of energy...

There are women in the crew too. Generally, the makeup artists are women, and there are also girls in the special guest roles and extras...

Because of this face, Shen Yan is often teased...

He could still restrain himself.

Suddenly I understood why there are so many couples on the set - it's probably the suspension bridge effect.

The crew is almost a small society isolated from the outside world...

We filmed together for three to five months, fell in love during the filming, and broke up when the filming was wrapped!

In fact, any project, as long as it meets the three conditions of multiple people, semi-closed, and long time, will produce temporary couples!

In addition, he actually developed a bit of a sneaky mentality... He was lazy in his daily life with many extras and crew members...

Including Zhang Wuchou!
It is understandable that time is the greatest test in life...

Over a long period of time, your ambition and original intention will be slowly erased by the director and other members of the crew...

After realizing this, Shen Yan...simply went to Wen Zhang's lounge to read while waiting for the show!

In addition to "The Actor's Self-cultivation," he also bought "Six Lectures on Acting," "The Art of Acting," and... "Save the Cat," "Scripts"...

Wen Zhang's assistant likes him very much.

Sometimes I give him a lot of advice, like now: "You can go to participate in the Super Boy!"

Shen Yan waved his hands: "...I can't sing!"

"The talent show mainly focuses on looks... I remember Ma Tianyu from Super Boy, he was tone-deaf and relied entirely on vocal editing. Now he's an actor and I heard he's quite popular!"

Shen Yan interrupted him: "...Ma Tianyu seems to have debuted from "Go Fighting! Good Man"?

"No matter how they debuted, they have no shortage of roles now. This society is very realistic. Only when you are famous can you get rich!"

"...But the most important thing about this kind of talent show is singing ability and background...I don't have either of those."

"...Your looks are perfect for the traditional handsome young man style. Find an agency to sign you..."

Shen Yan shook his head: "Forget it, I have my own plans..."

"I also want to recommend you to Brother Xiao Ma!"

"Brother Ma?"

"Ma Yili...we all call her Brother Ma!"

“…Is it because of your heroic personality?”

"Almost... You read for a while, Xiao Ma should be here soon..."

“…Then I’ll be leaving first?”

"No need, Xiao Ma Ge is quite interested in you..."

"what?"

……

Ma Yili...

Her agent is Wang Jinghua.

However, she has been able to reach her current status not only with the help of her agent, but also by herself!

I started dating Guan Hu when I was a junior in college, and we were together for six years.

She is quite lucky.

I caught up with a good era and met the bigwigs who hold power today when they were still unknown.

I have witnessed the transformation of the film and television industry, from the state coordinating the production of content by several major studios to the situation of flourishing and a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred schools of thought contending with the state retreating and the private sector advancing. I have also witnessed how the fifth and sixth generation directors, producers and screenwriters have grown step by step into leading talents.

I have witnessed the capital operation behind film and television dramas, the screening and modification of scripts, and the behind-the-scenes work of assembling the crew to accumulate connections and resources.

Guan Hu, Teng Tao, Jiang Ping, Xia Gang, Liu Haibo, Zhang Li, Jiang Shan, Liu Zi and others are all her friends in the circle.

Guan Hu and Teng Huitao are the second generation of filmmakers from the Beijing Film Studio;

Jiang Ping worked at the Shanghai Film Studio in his early years, and later served as deputy director of the Film Bureau. He later served as vice chairman and general manager of China Film Group.

Jiang Ping had previously written an article titled "Jiangbei People Ma Yili" to specifically support Ma Yili.

Xia Gang, Liu Haibo and Zhang Li are all big names in the TV drama director circle!

So, Wen Zhang definitely got to his fame thanks to Ma Yili.

The two reality-themed TV series "Dwelling Narrowness" and "Naked Marriage" written by Wen Zhang were directed by Ma Yili's close friend Teng Tao.

Li Dawei, the director of Wen Zhang's first film "Let's See", is an old friend of Ma Yili's opposite sex.

Wen Zhang’s famous work on the big screen, Love Is Not Blind, and his first TV series, Little Daddy, were both directed by Teng Litao and produced by Teng Litao, with Ma Yili as the producer, to escort him.

Unfortunately, they later parted ways and lived happily ever after!

However, Ma Yili is interested in Shen Yan?
