Be a Movie Star in a Two-dimensional World

"This filming is a task given by several manufacturers. The task is simple and the money comes quickly. I should find some group performers with good appearance and conditions. If I want to hire them, I can get the money after the filming today."

Compared with those films that have a long shooting cycle and one shot is a day, this place is like a part-time job. The cycle is short, the money comes in quickly, and the various studios go around.Those who support their families here have multiple studios.

Su Huai is naturally aware of these things, and as for Mu Qi, she doesn't care.

"Okay, good, stop!"

Under the guidance of Uncle Bai Pi, they entered the studio on the set, and they heard such a resonant voice.

This is a man with a sweater pinned on the outside like a cape and an old-fashioned bowler hat commonly used by cartoonists. He ran back and forth on the set, guiding several actors' positions. Introduction, it seems that he is the director of this set.

"This place, you will be like this later, hugging her waist, and then you, try to exaggerate your expression and reaction, lean your body back like mine, yes, try to exaggerate your expression..."

Because they are still on the way of filming, Su Huai and Uncle Baipi stopped on the sidelines very interestingly, and Qi Qi also watched the filming on the set curiously.Although she knew that Su Huai's job was to act, and said that she seemed to be able to do it, this was actually the first time she came to the set and really saw how the scene was filmed.

Both the director who shoots in the studio and the director in this small workshop will direct the play for you, but what is the difference between the two?

That is, the actors in the film studios are all professionals. Even if they are actors, they are the type of actors who are used to playing a certain role on the set. Therefore, when the director directs the play for you, he usually tells the ideal scene in his mind to help you You sort out the plot relationship.

But the director here is straightforward, he knows that the quality of the actors is low, so he just asks you to simply stick to such a shape, unless it is absolutely necessary, everyone just shoots two casually to save trouble and pass.

"Okay, then let's try again, photographer, get ready."

The director who shouted like this ran to the sidelines quickly, and then gestured to the director. Immediately, the director hit the board and shouted slogans, and the shooting continued.

Based on the fact that Su Huai has stayed in this place for so many years, and Uncle Baipi's brief introduction just now, he can vaguely see that this should be some kind of advertisement.

The content of the plot is very simple, that is, the hero and heroine walked towards each other, and then the heroine accidentally fell down, not falling, or staggered, and then the hero supported her, Liang Ran looked at her, and then smiled , to show the male protagonist’s white teeth, it may be a toothpaste advertisement, or it may be body lotion, razor, shampoo or something.

Anyway, it's such a simple scene.

If you want Su Huai to play this kind of role, then he will be entangled, when to grasp the right timing, what is the character's mood at that time, his psychological activities, and what meaning his eyes want to express, I guess these have something to do with it. No, he will think about it for a long time.

But for this studio, none of these things are needed. If you shoot an advertisement for toothpaste and shampoo, who the hell cares about your mental activities? As long as your teeth are white enough and your hair doesn’t fall out, it’s fine.

So under the slightly exaggerated performances of the two seemingly ordinary actors, the director still shouted again and again.

"Okay, field manager, take them down, and then settle the wages. After a 10-minute break, the next one will be taken."

With that tangled time, it is better to take a few more orders. Time is money, my friend.

And taking advantage of this rest time, Uncle Baipi also brought Su Huai and the others to the director's side, and introduced Qi Qi to the director as promised.

"Well, have you had any filming experience in the past?"

The director carefully looked around Mo Qi for a few times and asked.

Miao Qi looked at Su Huai, and under the gaze of the other party, she finally nodded honestly.

"Then why do you want to come to filming all of a sudden?"

If it is for the red, it is unlikely to come here, or is it for the money?

But Mo Qi only said six words: "In order to experience life."

"..."

The three people present were silent for a moment, Uncle Baipi glanced at Su Huai, who looked at the ceiling, only the director slapped his hands and said: "Okay, what a good experience of life, come on, you can act casually, yes, just To play the role that girl just played, uh, you—”

He pointed to Su Huai, and you just give him your hand and play that man, just like the part where he came over to meet him.

Having said that, both the director and Uncle Baipi took two steps back, leaving enough space for Su Huai and Qi Qi. As for the people resting around, most of them gathered here anyway, since they didn't mind watching the excitement.

"Director, the role of this role is..." Su Huai was forced to put the duck on the shelves temporarily, just like what he said just now, his researching problem has committed a problem.

But the director just waved his hand impatiently: "There is no positioning, you just act as you just did."

Anyway, it wasn't him who was tested, so it didn't matter how badly he acted.

"start."

As if trying to get away, the director quickly yelled the number.

Now, Su Huai had to act, but he is a professional actor. For this kind of scene, he has studied in school and practiced many times in private. Fortunately, this scene is not complicated, so the difficulty should be not big.

He first glanced at Mu Qi who was standing there dumbly, and then walked towards him.

It was probably because he walked forward for two seconds, and after being reminded by the person next to him, Mo Qi moved.

Su Huai's side is getting better and better, his walking posture is very upright, really just like a passing office worker, walking briskly and rhythmically, approaching Qi Qi, on the other hand, Mei Qi's side, as an out-and-out A novice, she walks very slack.

But that's okay, the key is that the next scene of staggering, together with Su Huai's action of supporting her, should be the highlight of this scene.

In fact, Su Huai himself was also a little curious, whether it was true that Mo Qi had hidden two brushes.

But the result is——

No, not even a tiny bit, not as long as a leg hair.

"Oops~~"

After uttering a strange line that was not in the original script, Miao Qi pretended to fall and turned around the spot twice clockwise, and then danced and leaned towards Su Huai who stretched out his arms with a dazed expression. Poured into his arms, and then looked at him with the expression and smile without a dime on his face.

What the hell is this shit playing? Even Su Huai couldn't help complaining in his heart.

What made him most unacceptable was that the director slapped his hands and shouted: "Okay, the acting is great, you have been hired, and you will be the heroine for the next few, Baipi, you go talk to the personnel Communicate over there, I want a replacement!"

"Hey." Uncle Bai Pi replied, and ran out quickly

Only Su Huai, who was left out with a dumbfounded face, and Qi Qi, who was still surrounded by the director with an expressionless face, remained.

Wait a minute, seriously?

Chapter 275 You Can't Envy a Life That's Open to You

In fact, Su Huai should also know about it, as long as the director said about it, it would probably have to be done in this way.

It has also been said before that the director is the core figure in the crew, and he is basically responsible for coordinating and giving orders to all the affairs of the crew.And in this small workshop-like production team, this is even more obvious, because besides directing the filming, the director here is usually the boss of the production team, responsible for taking over the work from the outside, so in many cases the entire production team is their voice.

According to the director's intention, the heroines of the subsequent commercials were directly rewarded, and then all of them were handed over to Maki to play the role.

Such a messy thing went smoothly without a single objection, and those actors who were rewarded by him didn't come to fight or make trouble, everything happened so naturally.

"Miss, what do you want to call her?"

These things are complicated to say, but in fact, it is only a few words from the director to get it done, and it is still done by his subordinates—people like Uncle Baipi.The director, who had rested, quickly chatted enthusiastically with Maki.

If Miao Qi answered her real name here, it would probably cause quite a lot of trouble. Fortunately, she just looked back at Su Huai with some confusion, and did not answer this question directly.

Of course, the answer she asked for might not be how to answer this question, but how to deal with this guy who seemed very familiar.

"Uh, her name is Ah Qi."

Su Huai talked so nonchalantly.

The director's gaze finally followed Mo Qi and locked on Su Huai.

From his point of view, he probably regarded Su Huai as the manager of Qi Qi, so he slapped his thigh and shouted: "Ah Qi, what a name, catchy, and you can tell that it will be a very popular name in the future! "

Although what he said was serious, Su Huai heard someone whispering behind him: "Hey, there seems to be a guy named Ah Qi yesterday. The director said his name is so dirty that he has been a salted fish all his life."

When he said this, the director's eyes stared out fiercely, and that person also slipped away like flying.

It seems that in order to resolve the remaining awkward atmosphere, the director immediately changed the topic, and then said: "Next we have 3 commercials, don't worry, with your super talent, Ah Qi, I believe these are nothing to worry about, as for that The little brother next to us——we come up with this number, will it work?"

The director made a gesture of six.

Because Su Huai had been here for a long time, he immediately understood what the other party meant.

Generally, the actors who perform here are not like acting in movies and TV dramas. One filming takes ten days and a half months or even half a year. Their cycle is very short, at most two or three days, and the shortest is even if you come in the morning, you can get it in the afternoon. I don’t even bring my lunch box with me when I leave the money. There is a special person responsible for the checkout every day.

The treatment of employees is also very different, roughly divided into several levels.

The worst one is the extras, usually only 200 yuan a morning or afternoon, some simple shots, even a box lunch, and the mid-range ones, that is, the few actors hired by the director before. Those who have a fixed salary and long-term cooperation, those practitioners will take some scenes on one set and pick up some on another set, so that they can support their families for a month and earn a salary that is no worse than or even more decent than that of working-class workers.

And the best level, as it is now, will give a lottery. The gesture of six means six thousand. Don’t underestimate this number. It’s only ten or twenty thousand for an advertisement here, or even a few thousand. On the set, this is generally not common, unless the investors pay for it, and the director is willing to pay for it like this, which is really extraordinary treatment.

By the way, when Su Huai was here, he belonged to the lowest level.

"..."

He looked at Miqi, who didn't have any idea about this, or didn't seem to be interested in it at all. It seemed that he was the only one to make the decision here.

Seeing the other party being so straightforward, Su Huai was a little worried to be honest. He asked the director, "Director, is there anything inappropriate in this advertisement?"

"What are you talking about, we are a serious production team, how could we shoot those dubious things?"

The director said with some displeasure.

This actually made Su Huai a little embarrassed, so he quickly apologized, and then said to the director: "Director, I have seen your sincerity, the conditions are really good, but I can't make a decision on my own." , let me discuss it with Ah Qi?"

"Okay." The director also nodded readily, and looked at his watch by the way: "But there are still 7 minutes to start work, you guys decide quickly."

That's right, after all, a crew like this can't afford to delay it for a day. If it delays for a day, all the previous earnings will be lost. After all, there are so many mouths to eat.

At this moment, while the director was walking away, Su Huai pulled Qi Qi aside and asked her, "Are you sure you really want to act?"

"What's the difficulty? If it's as simple as it was just now."

"..."

What Su Hua said was speechless.

If the performance is really like this, don't tell me, it's really quite simple.

Forget it.

Thinking that it would be useless for him to say more, Su Huai did not stop the other party, and the job here was introduced by Uncle Bai Pi, so there shouldn't be any pitfalls, or take a step back and say, even if there are pitfalls, he is still there Just watch from the sidelines, if there is really something inappropriate for children, he just needs to stop it in time.

With this feeling of anxiety or doubt, Su Huai just watched from the side as Miao Qi formally joined the crew and started the commercial filming work they undertook.

The next few commercials shot are actually similar to the previous ones, just intercepting one or several small scenes, and then posing a few poses as required, reading a few lines and so on.This kind of request is always the most basic, but it's all changed when it comes to Mo Qi.

She kept an expressionless face throughout the whole process - at this point, the director also asked her if she could smile a little, but the other party pressed two fingers on the corners of her lips and lifted them up, showing a very weird smile, The director just gave up.

"You'd better act normally." Was told.

But it's not really a fault, it's better to say that the filming went unexpectedly smoothly, and I went through it all.

In other words, the work of Qiqi, added up in total, was over in less than an hour.

And the director actually gave this perfect evaluation.

Don't worry about it.

That kind of performance that has no charm at first glance, and is particularly exaggerated and stiff, you actually call it perfect...
