Big players in the film and television world

Chapter 202 Lucky because of strength
In Modu Film and Television City, a series of spy war movies and Republic of China movies are in hot production. The demand for extras is huge. Movies have not yet risen, but TV dramas are already in full swing.

Su Ning stood just outside the Modu Film and Television City, hesitated for a moment, and then joined the army of outsiders.

The film and television city is the birthplace of countless ordinary people's dreams of becoming stars. Every year, countless men and women with dreams of becoming stars gather here and join the army of walk-on actors. They hope that Wang Xiaoqiang's example will happen to him, and he will become famous in one fell swoop and have unlimited glory.

This is actually very stupid, but there are many stupid people in this world, because of luck, because of love, because of greed...

Anyway, everyone has his own reasons.

Because he has been a part-timer for at least two years and is a graduate of the Shanghai Drama Academy, Suning can be considered to have a little network of contacts. It is still very easy to mix up a character with a few scenes and a few lines.

Which crew doesn't like cheap and good quality, as long as Suning doesn't feel embarrassed.

Because this world is a derivative of the game world, the rules of the entertainment industry are somewhat different from the previous life, so there are still some organized tricks. If you want to play tricks in the film and television city, you must register with the film and television building and get an ID card to enter the park behind the building. When a trick is needed, he will come to the park to select people, methodically.

Sitting on a stone bench in the park, Su Ning shook his head as he watched the black army of trolls.

The odds of someone who wants to counterattack and become a big star are 5000 times lower than winning [-] million in the lottery. But even so, the film and television city is still full of people who are eager to become a big star.

Everyone wants to be the second Wang Xiaoqiang, but they don't know that Wang Xiaoqiang is a special case or even an isolated case. Maybe most of them know it, but they don't want to believe it. People are always inexplicably confident in themselves.

Soon after, several people from the crew came and recruited more than 50 walk-on people. Suning did not go, not because he didn't want them, but because they were all real cameos who had no lines and no face. For Suning, who was famous among the walk-on roles. As far as he is concerned, if he wants to run this kind of trick, he can run all day long. After all, he knows most of the crew members.

An hour later, Suning finally got his chance.

"We are recruiting special actors. They need to have military temperament and military quality. There is only one. The salary is 1000 yuan a day, and they must be resistant to fighting."

This time, the crew of "404 Saber" came, and one of the people who got off was Zhu Hao, one of the two assistant directors of the show. Suning, who has always followed the entertainment news, could naturally see that it was a big show. It is said that The investment was 2800 million, and Wen Jie, who became popular because of his starring role in "Luck of Fortune", was hired.

It sounds unrealistic for the assistant director to pick a trick, but unrealistic doesn't mean it doesn't exist, it may be in a good mood, or it may be doing nothing, all in all, anything is possible.

"I'm a veteran of the army."

"I'm a military fan."

"I'm a fighting fan."

"..."

In an instant, a group of walk-ons surrounded Zhu Hao and others, enthusiastically recommending themselves.

Suning knew one of the field staff, and when he saw him winking at him, he motioned for him to come over quickly.

Suning immediately got up and ran into the crowd.

Zhu Hao suppressed the noisy voices with gestures, and said: "The person to be selected this time must show me his skills, punch a set or show his physical strength."

"I come."

A dark-skinned man immediately squeezed out of the crowd, lying on the ground, humming and doing [-] push-ups before getting up.

"No." Zhu Hao waited for him to finish, then shook his head.

"Why?" the dark man asked dissatisfied.

"You're too ugly." Zhu Hao said straight to the point.

The crowd laughed, and the dark man rushed out of the crowd angrily, unbearable to be humiliated.

Zhu Hao said directly: "Soldier temperament, can fight, can also be beaten, these three things are indispensable."

Many people in the crowd shook their heads regretfully and gradually dispersed.

Most of them understand the rules of the crew, and they know that it will be dangerous to search for this kind of role by playing tricks, and the conditions are so harsh, so most of them choose to give up.

Zhu Hao smiled wryly and said: "There is no such person at all. If the time is not tight, I wouldn't come here to select people. Just go directly to the garrison."

"No way, who put Wen Jie on fire, time is running out, that actor accidentally broke his leg again." The scene manager who is familiar with Suning shook his head, waved to Suning, smiled and said to Zhu Hao, "Deputy Director, I have a friend who is here now, he should be able to do the job, and the situation is urgent, so we can make do."

Zhu Hao raised his eyebrows and said, "Let him come out and make gestures. If he can, then he will be it."

The field manager smiled and went over to tell Suning about the situation.

Suning nodded, and then performed a set of military punches on the spot. Zhu Hao nodded with satisfaction after watching it, which attracted the envious eyes of countless people who were playing tricks.

Suning got into Zhu Hao's private car with them. On the way to the crew, the scene manager talked to Suning about the role of this character and the precautions for Suning's scenes.

The role Suning wants to play is called Wang Tianchou, a villain, the captain of a team, iron-blooded and resolute, always suspecting that the protagonist is an undercover agent of the enemy, and after accidentally discovering the identity of the protagonist, he beats the protagonist to death.

There are a lot of fighting scenes, and there are also a lot of literary dramas, and the scenes of being beaten account for half of them.

After arriving at the set, the set manager took Suning to get the script and put on costumes. Then after Wenjie arrived, work started immediately. There was still about an hour left.

Suning's script doesn't have many words, only [-] sentences. As for the fighting scenes, most of them are beaten.

Generally speaking, fight scenes have to be rehearsed first, but Wen Jie is too busy now, and the filming schedule is too full, so the fight scenes can only be filmed while being taught by martial arts instructors.

Suning was a little helpless and felt like he had been cheated. It was really not worth getting beaten for 1000 yuan. He was not short of money, and wanting to be rich was actually very simple. With this kind of role, there was no need to sign a contract at all. It's okay to leave the contract.

However, people have to be trustworthy.

At the shooting site, in a government building with the style of the Republic of China, Suning saw Kang Zhuang, the director of "The Burning Years", sitting in the director's seat, and was a little curious.

After listening to the conversations of the actors around him, Su Ning finally understood the whole story.

Director Kang Zhuang and Guo Zhui, the director of the military drama "404 Saber", have a relationship between junior and senior. Therefore, when Guo Zhui needed someone to direct for him due to family matters, he did not hesitate to give Kang Zhuang a call. Telephone.

Not long after, Wen Jie walked in, full of style, and four assistants waited on him, full of arrogance.

Official start.

To be honest, Wen Jie's acting skills are still very good, as soon as he entered the scene, he changed into a different person in an instant, with awe-inspiring righteousness.

When it was Suning's turn to take the shot.

"Remember to me, as a soldier, you must always remember the glory."

Su Ning grabbed the collar of the group performer who played the role of the lazy training soldier, and slowly lifted it up, his eyes were like lightning, and his momentum was overwhelming.

Having experienced many worlds and many lives, Suning has his own power, so he performed this scene particularly brilliantly.

Director Kang Zhuang's eyes lit up.

He has never been able to find a suitable candidate for the male third in the "Soldier's Glory" he was planning to shoot, but now, the person in front of him coincides with that character.

He even had a feeling that that young man would definitely make that character a classic.

After this scene is over, it's the next fight scene.

Regarding the fight scene between the male protagonist Long Zhang played by Wenjie and the small character Wang Tianqiu played by Suning, Zhu Hao reminded Suning more than once not to hurt Wenjie, and that protective gear and other equipment should be prepared for him. Just protect his face. .

What can Suning say?Can only nod.

The play begins.

Wen Jie's fists and feet were weak, and it didn't hurt or itch to hit Suning. If he hadn't restrained the strength of his hands and feet deliberately, Wen Jie would have been sent to the hospital long ago.

But being hit by Wenjie's unrestrained fists was extremely uncomfortable. Fortunately, Su Ning knew how to restrain himself, otherwise, Wenjie could be hospitalized with one punch.

In the end, Wen Jie stabbed the blood bag on Suning's body with a dagger, and Suning fell down.

Finally, the camera gave Suning a close-up.

"Card."

Kang Zhuang yelled, today's filming is considered to be over, the crew started to call it a day, the scene manager paid Suning, and said that Director Kang wanted to see him at Room 206 on the second floor of the Huangpu Hotel outside the Shanghai Film and Television City.

This made Suning a little puzzled, but the field manager told him in a low voice that this was a good thing.

When they came outside the hotel, Suning knocked on the door, and someone opened the door, it was Kang Zhuang.

The two sat on the stool, and Kang Zhuang said straight to the point: "I have a TV drama about the military in preparation. The investment, shooting location, script, and personnel have all been planned. Only a male number three makes it difficult for me to find, but Seeing you, I confirm that you are the person I am looking for."

Su Ning was a little at a loss, it was like a piece of cake from the sky, he said puzzled, "Director Kang, why me?"

Kangzhuang crossed his hands, crossed his legs, and said, "Because I see infinite possibilities in you, not to mention, you are a graduate of the Shanghai Academy of Drama, so you must have basic skills."

Since someone appreciates it, Suning will naturally not let go of this opportunity, nodded and said: "Since Director Kang thinks highly of me, then I will boldly agree."

Kang Zhuang said with a satisfied smile: "Come here at 12 o'clock tomorrow to sign the contract. Of course, there is also a half-month military training in a certain unit in Yanjing. It's very hard, you have to be prepared."

Suning smiled and said, "I like it."

When Kang Zhuang heard the words, he smiled, and he did not misread it.

Suning shook hands with Kang Zhuang to say goodbye, walked out of the Whampoa Hotel, and drove home.

As soon as he opened the door, a moving figure rushed towards him.

Suning put a big hand on Su Xin's face lightly, and said with a smile: "Girls should be reserved."

Su Xin was dissatisfied with letting go of Suning's hand, and said displeasedly: "It will be too late to hold back."

Suning gently touched Su Xin's face and said apologetically: "Xiao Xin, brother, I will be away from home for a few months recently. During this period, you must take care of yourself."

……

An infantry regiment in Yanjing is undergoing intense training on the training ground, tactical actions, disassembly and combination of pistols and rifles, and wearing equipment.

Suning is also among them.

After signing the contract with Kang Zhuang, on the second day, Suning was sent here by Kang Zhuang's "Soldier of Glory" crew to conduct military training with the main actors in the play.

According to the scene attendant who was driving the driver, the half-month military training had scared away many stars and even secondary players. Therefore, Suning picked up a leak and got an important role with a lot of roles.

Among the trained actors, the most famous one is Wang Xiaoqiang who played the leading role Huang Zhong. A year ago, Ye Gangpao's movie "Thief Fights Thief" played the role of Silly Zhu, which made him famous overnight. Incomparably different.

Except for Chen Shuai, who played the second male lead, Suning didn't know any of them, but this didn't prevent Suning from getting to know them, because during the training period, Suning didn't act like he was here for training, but rather like he was here to mess things up.

Because he was better than the six non-commissioned officers in charge of training in almost all training subjects, and even broke the unit's shooting record in shooting, which caused quite a controversy.

Different from the muddy military training, the training that Kang Zhuang let Suning and others accept directly was to compress the three-month training of the recruits into half a month of duck-feeding training. Of course, he didn't expect them to train well. It's not realistic, just let them experience what military life is.

Others, even if some were recovered from the army, they were also art soldiers with insufficient combat effectiveness. Facing the recruit training of the scouting army, they all complained.

Next, after running for five kilometers, most of the people were already out of breath. Even Wang Xiaoqiang, who was born in Shaolin Temple, was also out of breath. After all, he hadn't practiced for a long time.

The non-commissioned officers in charge of the training didn't want to have too many officers. After all, the other party was not a soldier, so they left after the training.

In the obstacle course crater.

Chen Shuai handed Suning a Yellow Crane Tower, admiringly said: "Su Ning, you are so good, you completed such a hard military training without frowning."

Su Ning was not too polite, he took over the Yellow Crane Tower and Chen Shuai started smoking happily.

At night, the people in the same dormitory with Suning fell asleep because of the military training during the day. They snored one after another, but they were not too loud. Only Suning quietly held a director's book and read it carefully.

People can not go to school, but they have to study, otherwise they will be abandoned by the times.

On the second day, the training was still the same. Day after day, only a few people could actually complete the training.

Saturday and Sunday are rest days.

Chen Shuai invited Suning and Wang Xiaoqiang to have a hot pot dinner without drinking.

in the box.

Wang Xiaoqiang was born in a group of actors, so he was very kind, and his eyes were very clear, not sophisticated at all, he was not good at words, so he seldom spoke.

Chen Shuai talked eloquently: "I will definitely be a director in the future, first a TV director, then a movie director, a big director. What about you?"

Su Ning took a sip of Sprite and said seriously: "I want to be a great director, the biggest director."

"Best friend!" Chen Shuai applauded and smiled at Suning.

Wang Xiaoqiang smiled honestly: "You all have big ambitions, I just want to act, directing or something, it's too difficult."

Suning shook the Sprite in the glass, and said meaningfully: "Not necessarily, in the future, maybe even a star can be a director."

Chen Shuai shook his head.

Wang Xiaoqiang scratched his head naively.

Time gradually passed.

There are no such lucky people in the world, and even if there are, it is only based on strength.

While reading the director's books, Su Ning also thought of some big plans to make a fortune, but some of them were too cumbersome, and he was most afraid of trouble, some of which he didn't understand at all, and had only a half-knowledge.

As for the rest.

Copying novels?He doesn't have that strong a memory.

Copy songs?I don't know how to notate the staff very well, and I can only sing a little bit.

Copying movies and TV shows?This is barely possible, but without the connections and resources in the entertainment industry, even if a good script is submitted, it will be cheap or even a wedding dress for others.

Wenzhao Gong doesn't seem to have much effect!
This game world is extremely real, and it is not at all the false world where the protagonist halo of YY novels can be invincible.

Half a month of military training was over, and Kang Zhuang also returned from the crew of "404 Saber". Huaxing Company, one of the investment and producers, held a launch conference at the Star United Hotel.

Because Wang Xiaoqiang is the only one who is really famous in the crew, in order to increase a little exposure, Kang Zhuang made a fool of himself and invited Wen Jie to be the platform for the "Glory of the Soldiers" launch conference.

Wen Jie had received a little help from Kang Zhuang, so he couldn't refuse.

However, the opening press conference was about to begin, but Wen Jie lost his temper. He disliked the food in the restaurant and did not give Kang Zhuang any face in the private room.

Now he is very popular. The ratings of a youth TV series "My Heart is Flying" that just appeared on the star reached 25%.

As a result, Wenjie also became defiant.

"You, buy me oil-splashed noodles." Wen Jie, wearing sunglasses, looked at Su Ning disdainfully.

Because Suning had a fighting scene, Wenjie was a little pleasing to Suning.

If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely agree like a dog's leg. After all, if he could get Wenjie's friendship, as long as he opened his mouth, it would be easy for him to play the role of the third male and the fourth male. After all, in the entertainment industry, whoever is popular has a part of the right to speak.

If "404 Saber" becomes a big hit, Wenjie will be on the front line in terms of salary and popularity. It can be said that the 26-year-old Wenjie will become the number one gentleman in the mainland entertainment industry.

Kang Zhuang looked at Wenjie with an arrogant face and felt helpless. He wanted to ask for help but could not turn his back.

Tolerate!
Who would want to be fresh and refined, but all of this is based on sufficient money and rights.

Kang Zhuang had already begged many people and lost a lot of face for this "Soldier's Glory", so he didn't care this time.

Kang Zhuang was going to order the field manager to drive to buy oil-splashed noodles, but Suning had already got up and told him to go, and 10 minutes later, Suning came back with a bowl of oil-splashed noodles.

Everyone was shocked.

"Where did you buy this oily noodles? It tastes really good." Wenjie took the oily noodles and ate them, nodding with satisfaction as he ate.

Su Ning sat down and said lightly: "I made it, if you like it, you can find me."

"Haha, Master Kang, it seems that you are not too old to be dim-sighted, and you can actually find such a promising young man." Wenjie spoke more and more unscrupulously.

Kang Zhuang was slightly angry because Wen Jie was too unruly.

After Wen Jie ate the oily noodles, he was not afraid of Kang Zhuang's anger.

Kang Zhuang and Wen Jie confront each other aggressively.

Wen Jie's assistant quickly came out to smooth things over, which resolved the somewhat tense situation.

The launch conference was held as scheduled. In the lobby of the restaurant, there were already countless reporters waiting with their video cameras and cameras, but their goal was Wen Jie who came out of the finale.

The atmosphere in the lobby was very dull in the early stage. Except for Wang Xiaoqiang and Kang Zhuang who were questioned by reporters, everyone else was unknown, standing like tool people.

Finally, Wenjie came out, flashing lights.

Wen Jie's face was full of arrogance, as unscrupulous as a crab walking sideways, and instantly stood at position c, chatting with the reporters, completely treating the press conference as his personal show.

But he was popular, so the crew of "Soldier of Glory" could only endure it.

Everyone knows that flowers don't have a hundred days of redness, but when the flowers bloom, most of them are more brilliant than the sun.

This is called playing a big name!
In today's era when being famous still requires some strength, playing big names is both a commendatory and a derogatory term.
