Chapter 431 431, The Power of Example

September 4th, early morning

It was raining heavily, and the water droplets made a crackling sound on the concrete floor. In less than a quarter of an hour, the road was already full of water.

As usual, Zhang Yi got off the No. 345 bus on time at 8:15 and walked straight to the entrance of Beijing Film Studio.

Perhaps because of the rain, there were not many extras who came to work today. Standing on the curb, Zhang Yi looked over and estimated that there were only two or three hundred people at most!

Not far away, the owner of Yingtian Guantang Baozi Shop is very good at business. He set up two awnings on the sidewalk early and then placed a dozen round stools.

The meaning is very straightforward, as long as you come and eat my steamed buns, you can get shelter from the rain for free!

When I came, I ate chopped green onion noodles and an extravagant egg. There were steamed buns and pickled mustard in the bag...

But even so, Zhang Yi decided to spend five yuan to buy some steamed buns from the boss. He had no choice but to do so because the rain was really heavy.

"Boss, come and pick up the buns!"

"Come on."

When business came to my door, the boss was very quick and packed eight of them in a disposable bag and delivered them over.

"This awning is too small to accommodate the table, so you just have to give in and eat with your hands."

"okay!"

Zhang Yi smiled, took the bun and put it into his bag. Although he has an official employer and works in the military art troupe, and his salary is not too low, but his girlfriend is so sick, he has to save money when he should!

Just as I was thinking about it, two young men wearing ponchos suddenly ran out of the Beijing Film Studio. They were both the same height, but it was obvious that the one in front was much more athletic than the one behind.

Because he runs fast!

"Wang Baoqiang..."

Someone recognized the young man in front of me.

Wang Baoqiang is really a legend in the eyes of everyone. After returning from Shaolin Temple, he worked as an extra and worked as an extra.

But after only working here for more than a year, he was spotted by director Sun Hao. He played a moderate role in the movie "Train to Busan". I heard that Sun Hao gave him 5,000 yuan in salary alone. RMB.

Of course, this is not the most enviable thing for everyone! What made everyone jealous was that Sun Hao not only agreed to let him star in a movie in the future, but also recommended him to directors such as Zhang Guoli and Zhang Yimou, becoming a special guest actor that everyone envied.

But, what is Wang Baoqiang doing here today?

Come to pretend to be B?

Brothers, look at me, I no longer have to climb on the branch at the entrance of Beijing Film Studio to survive.

While everyone was wondering, Wang Baoqiang smiled honestly.

"Hehe... are all the brothers here?"

"Everyone is here, is there any good life?"

"have!"

Before Wang Baoqiang, who was running in front, could reply, Li Yu, who was following closely behind, came to the crowd.

"The daily salary is 100, which is paid immediately. The lunch box includes four dishes and one soup, including chicken legs. In the evening, we have barbecue and beer..."

Damn it!

Everyone was excited.

Playing "Corpse" in other productions seems to have paid less than 50 yuan a day, let alone two meals with wine and meat.

"Director, choose me!"

"Director, choose me. I can play anything, from an 80-year-old lady to a teenage middle school student."

"Director, choose me. If you choose me, I guarantee that it will be worth your money. You must know that while others are "waiting for the job", others are playing cards and drinking in the shade of the trees, while I am practicing my lines and figuring out the character.

How about I play a part for you now? "

…

"Need not!"

Li Yu was very awesome. He waved his hand forward and rejected everyone's enthusiasm.

"So what do you mean..." Zhang Yi squeezed forward, refusing to miss any opportunity.

"I'll tell you three conditions. If you meet them, please come forward:

One, have a high school diploma.

Second, those who have experience performing as office clerks.

Three, aged between 20 and 40 years old. "

"I!"

"I!"

"I!"

…

After Li Yu finished speaking, forty or fifty extras came forward.

Then what?

Everyone who stood up was waiting for [then], because the current crew is like this. Even when recruiting extras, they are screened in one, two, and three rounds.

The task was not completed until the appropriate number of people were screened out. However, this time it was beyond everyone's expectations. Li Yu did not say anything else, but waved his hand and asked Wang Baoqiang to bring these people in.

"Director, are there not enough extras?" Zhang Yi asked.

“Not enough, there are still 25 left!

If you know any extras who meet the requirements of our crew, please call them immediately and ask them to come over. "

…

Studio 4

The interior scene is magnificent. According to the 1:1 ratio, a very modern aerospace flight control center is completely replicated here.

In front of the rows of seats, the latest batch of computers are placed. A two-story-high giant screen is divided into left and right screens. Various data are played on the left screen, and a very clear animation demonstration is displayed on the right screen...

Sun Hao, who was here for the first time, secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at the scene in front of him.

Right, this is what a flight control center should look like. If nothing else is mentioned, just this shocking sense of technology can make many science fiction fans indulge in it.

"Director Sun Hao..."

"Um..., National Teacher, are you here?"

"Here I am, where is my script?" Zhang Guoli is indeed an old actor, who comes here without asking for pay, and talks about acting first.

"Wait a minute, I'll talk about it in a unified way."

"Hehe..." Zhang Guoli laughed.

"Is it because my role in this movie is more complicated, requiring deep entanglement and contradiction, and you need my on-the-spot performance, so you dare not give me the script!"

"Hehe..., Uncle Guoli, this is what I mean." Sun Hao smiled and admitted the account very straightforwardly.

After resting for a few days in a row, the crew members have already recovered from the collapse in the desert. They should talk and laugh, but the speed of their hands working is not slow at all.

It took Sun Hao only 20 minutes to come to the studio. The photographic equipment, lighting equipment, and radio equipment were all ready, waiting for Sun Hao's order to officially start shooting.

Because the scale of the set is too large, it squeezes other spaces, such as the dressing room...

At this moment, Zhang Guoli is sitting on a small stool at the door of the studio, accepting the makeup artist Huang Hua's manipulation of his face.

"Director..."

"Hmm?"

"Who is the person who plays opposite me?"

"Zhang Jiayi!"

Zhang Jiayi..., Zhang Guoli thought about it carefully, and it seemed that he really didn't have much impression of this person. Has there always been such a person in the circle?

"Director..."

"Hmm?"

"How is this person's acting?"

"Very good.

At least in my opinion, if he is given a chance, he should be able to reach your current level."

"Haha..., what level do I have? I just figured it out myself." Zhang Guoli smiled and waved his hand.

However, at this time, the extras recruited from outside were already in place.
