Chapter 11 Life is not easy

The salary of a bit player is low, the requirements are high and there is no status, but it is the only way for every actor. The role of a bit player is the most unpopular, just like the motley crew and cannon fodder on the battlefield, and it is difficult to get ahead in life.

Actors from film and television companies who work as part-timers are equivalent to the regular army. If you are unlucky, you will have a chance to become a supporting role or a protagonist after a few years of service. If you are lucky, you can become prominent after a few months of service.

Although Brother Kun is familiar, he is still a casual person. He has been around for many years, and his highest achievement is that he is a special actor with a few lines. He still does not escape the category of bit player. He gave up on himself and became a veteran, enjoying bullying temporary workers.

Life is not easy. If you want to work on the set of Shaw Brothers, you have to swallow your anger. If you don't listen to Brother Kun, he will give you some eye drops, and you will know how uncomfortable it is.

Li Wenchao is considered a veteran. He has stayed here for a while and has relatives on the set. He is familiar with this place. He does not argue with Brother Kun. He does not talk to Haisheng either. Although he is young, he is mature and steady.

Brother Kun knew that the two brothers had a background, so he would speak softly when he cursed others, and would take care of him when assigning positions. But he could only take care of others, let alone take care of himself.

In the morning, after training my subordinates, I felt refreshed and started assigning positions. They were still soldiers in costumes. The most popular martial arts movies produced by Shaw Brothers were costumed martial arts films, and they could produce a film in ten and a half days.

As for the quality, it can only be said to be so-so. The scenery, props and costumes are very simple, but the action scenes are required to be exciting. After all, this is the main selling point of the movie. If the action scenes are not good-looking, then it is a piece of shit!

A group of people followed Brother Kun to the filming site and listened to the arrangements from the superiors. As for the name of the movie, they were not clear about it. They only knew that they would have a fight with the protagonist and let him kill more than a dozen people by himself.

Those with martial arts skills rush in front, and the martial arts instructor will guide the routines. Those without martial arts skills or newbies stand in the back and are killed by the protagonist. All they need is to be able to pretend to be dead and squeeze tomato juice.

Haisheng was at a loss when he got a bottle of tomato juice. He hadn't squeezed it before and didn't know how to spray it. Li Wenchao was explaining next to him.

Time was limited, and someone spoke, telling them to hurry up. Brother Kun roared, and rushed out with his troops. Huihe and his troops moved forward. There was more than one supporting team, and Brother Kun and his group were just one of them.

When I came to a certain hillside, I met a few horseback riders. They were wearing bare-chested and short mandarin jackets. They were very good at horseback riding, and they were also good at using swords. They were able to cut melons and vegetables, and fell into a trap.

However, too many ants can kill an elephant, not to mention there are so many people, and the villain also has a boss level. After a while, someone will fall off the horse, and several people on horseback will be separated, forming a small regional battlefield.

Brother Kun and his gang besieged a fallen man. There were many people, but their martial arts skills were inferior. Half of them were wiped out in less than a moment. Brother Kun bore the brunt of being stabbed in the body, and Li Wenchao also fell in a pool of blood. The remaining group had no martial arts skills.

He Haisheng, a newcomer with strong skills, was stabbed once or twice by the protagonist.

Haisheng was adjusting the angle to block the camera to avoid being photographed squeezing tomato juice, when a cold blade came towards him. He subconsciously blocked it with a knife. As a result, the opponent gained the upper hand and continued to chop and slash fatally.

This was okay, and it immediately angered Hai Sheng. He immediately turned from defense to offense, and his sword skills were superb. The opponent was not mediocre either, and the two of them fought equally well.

Brother Kun fell not far away, his face turned green at this moment. He didn't expect the newcomer Haisheng to be so fierce, not only with martial arts, but also with superb swordsmanship. But you are in the wrong place! You can't figure out your position, are you?

The supporting cast is like the mud in the ground, others are the ones who step on the mud for the protagonist.

"It's over!" Brother Kun mourned for himself. In his mind, he remembered the scene where Assistant Director Zhou scolded him. It must have been: "Pounce on the street, shovel the Yan family, and eat the food!"

If the filial piety fee is reduced, I might never get another role from Assistant Director Zhou. After all, the extras rebelled and wasted a lot of film. Brother Kun can't afford to pay for it, so Assistant Director Zhou has to take the responsibility.

Brother Kun was furious. He had seen a lot of newcomers who had no acting skills and no experience on set, but this was the first time they dared to rebel. He decided to call it a day and give Hai Sheng a good lesson before kicking him out. There was no room for a giant Buddha in his team.

Jiang Dawei, one of the protagonists, was also confused at this moment. There was actually a general hidden among the soldiers who had fought with him for several rounds. He was very skilled in swordsmanship. If he hadn't already had martial arts skills and was proficient in swordsmanship, he would have been filled with hatred on the spot.

Kill the soldier. He is the protagonist. I don’t know if it was arranged by the crew or something went wrong. But the director didn’t say “stuck” and he had to continue filming, so he had to work hard with the opponent!

After Haisheng made three moves, he knew that he had made a mistake subconsciously, but the mistake was already made, so he could only find a way to save it. So he tried to match the protagonist's moves and gave him moves. The scene seemed dangerous but it was not serious.

After six moves, he used a flaw to allow the opponent to swipe the knife to his neck. He flew up and his blood spurted out, and he fell to the ground without making a sound.

Jiang Dawei was at a loss and even used a few tricks to get a feel for the moves he had just made. It was originally a one-sided situation and he was suppressed, so why did he suddenly knock his opponent down? It doesn't make sense!

He was in a state of confusion when the director called a jam. The filming scene stopped and everyone took their positions or rested in place. Everyone was fighting on the battlefield and did not notice what was happening here at Jiang Dawei's place.

But the director must have known that he didn't call stop right away. It might be because the long shot was far away or for other reasons. He didn't call "stop" until the fight was over!

Hai Sheng turned his back to the sky and noticed that there were people surrounding him. One of them kicked him with great force. If the kick hit him, even a martial arts practitioner would be in pain for a while. So he rolled on the ground and avoided flying.

leg.

"Throw into the street, but you still hide!" The person who used the flying kick cursed loudly, his face full of anger.

Jiang Dawei hurriedly stepped forward to hold him, and persuaded him with a smile: "Hey, Director Zhou, calm down, what's going on?"

"This guy jumped on the street and changed the plot without following the director's request. It was supposed to be a one-and-done matter, but he took it upon himself to fight with you, the protagonist, so vigorously that he couldn't even figure out his own position. It was a waste of a lot of film.

, which has wasted so many people's time. The whole crew is in trouble. It's easy to hit him, but I'm willing to chop his heart out!" Assistant Director Zhou said angrily. He was in charge of the actors' scheduling, and there was something wrong with the extras.

, he has the greatest responsibility.

"Oh!" Jiang Dawei suddenly realized, looked at the supporting actor who was lying on the ground and still pretending to be dead, and laughed.

"Okay, I think this little guy is quite capable. Let's change his clothes and make him a villain villain, just follow the same routine. Xiao Jiang, you practice with this kid." Someone said.

"Okay!" Jiang Dawei replied.

Assistant Director Zhou also said with a smile: "Okay, Director Chu."

After the two directors left, Jiang Dawei knelt down and patted Hai Sheng gently and said, "Little brother, get up!"
