Chapter 5: Running a dragon.

"Ka, I announce that the film will be completed!"

“Oh~~~”

The crew was full of joy. After nearly two months of filming, this film [Black Storm] was finally finished. During this period, everyone in the crew was rushing day and night. He was naturally very excited when he heard the news. Moreover, the crew completed the filming, which means that everyone can get their remaining rewards.

According to industry rules, the crew’s pay is to first give 60% of the film, and then pay the final 40% after the filming is completed. After all, you must be careful of someone running away with the money.

Zhou Xing also got his share, but compared to the excitement of others, he was more nervous. The crew completed the filming, which means he had no show to film.

No show filming means no lunch box or residence. In Xiangjiang, what is the money enough?

"Scared, don't be sad, don't worry, there are so many crews in Xiangjiang, even if you play supporting roles, you won't starve to death. Oh, at worst, I'll take you with you when I join the crew in the future, okay?" Jiang Xue patted Zhou Xing's shoulder and comforted.

Zhou Xing couldn't help but feel a warm feeling in his heart. This fat man is quite righteous.

At this moment, Mike came over and saw Zhou Xing's worried look, and couldn't help but laugh and scold: "Okay, you kid, don't have a bitter face. Brother Feng said that he will have a meal with him in the future. The next drama is already being prepared, and you won't starve to death."

Brother Feng is the director. Zhou Xing found that the Xiangjiang crew was full of aura. People in Xiangjiang also seemed to enjoy others calling him "Brother XX", just as the mainland likes to hear others calling him "General XX".

Zhou Xing finally put his heart into his stomach and thanked him repeatedly.

After Mike left, Jiang Xue sighed sourly: "You guy is lucky. If you can be noticed by Brother Feng, you will definitely be able to make a name for yourself in the future. Unlike me, when I first came to Xiangjiang, I had to rely on myself for everything. I was looked down upon by others when I joined the crew and could only play supporting roles everywhere."

Zhou Xing smiled and put his shoulder on his face and joked: "Don't worry, if my buddy becomes popular in the future, you will be the royal supporting role."

"I took the exam, but after a long time of trouble, I'm still a supporting role, can I give you a supporting role?"

"Okay, would you give you three more lines?"

"Oh? Those three sentences?"

"Ah? Oh. Yes!"

“……”

During the fight, Zhou Xing also figured it out that there must be a road before the car arrives at the mountain. At worst, just like Jiang Xue said, go to various crews to play supporting roles. Even if you can't make money, you won't starve to death. Besides, he believes that he will not run into supporting roles for the rest of his life.

After the simple finishing banquet, even if the crew broke up, the group was drunk, Zhou Xing couldn't help but toast them one by one. After all, he was a complete newcomer in the crew. Fortunately, he was drinking beer, and Zhou Xing was still a bit drunk and wouldn't be drunk in the first round.

However, after two or three rounds, it won’t work.

When I woke up the sky, I found myself sleeping on the ground, and a fat man was sleeping on his bed, snoring loudly.

Zhou Xing rubbed his head, but he didn't get angry, and kicked the guy's shoes with his feet: "Hey, you fat man, come here to sleep with me and let me sleep on the floor."

However, there was no reaction. This guy probably drank too much. For the sake of this guy sending him back, Zhou Xing did not bother him and went to the bathroom to wash.

When he finished washing up, he heard a strange ringtone. After searching for a long time, he took out a flip cell phone from Jiang Xue's pocket.

"Hey, hurry up, I have a call to you."

Zhou Xing put the phone to Jiang Xue's ear. Jiang Xue took the phone in a daze and then pressed the answer button.

"Big Boss, where are you? Hurry up, I'm so embarrassed. Those few people who are stumbled on the street will let me go. If I can't get enough people today, Brother Li will kill me."

Jiang Xue seemed to be a little more awake, looked at the caller ID, then asked for the address, and went into the bathroom and patted her face with water.

"Quick, change your clothes and go with me to go to the venue."

Zhou Xing looked confused, and this is how the actors in Xiangjiang take on their jobs?

Along the way, Zhou Xing couldn't help asking Jiang Xue: "Hey, it's not true that the one I said so seriously just now, right?"

"Of course the nonsense is true. His film is invested by big shots. If things are not done, will it end well?"

Well, I have always heard that blackness will penetrate the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang, but I didn’t expect that I could see it with my own eyes one day.

Yau Ma Tei Police Station, this is also a scene that often appears in Hong Kong movies. The most funny thing is that most of the movies that come here to shoot are police and gangsters and gangsters. In short, this situation is definitely not seen in the mainland.

"Fatty, you're finally here. Thank God, hurry up, Brother Li is going to get angry." A short man pulled Jiang Xue and was about to go in.

Jiang Xue didn't move: "Hey, aren't you? I brought such a big living person, can't you see it?"

"Oh, I don't have time, let's go in together. I'll send him a living later, don't worry."

“It’s almost the same.”

The short man took Jiang Xue to meet the director, and Zhou Xing was waiting for arrangements with other supporting actors. I have to say that this crew is far inferior to Brother Feng's crew, and it is obvious that the staff are careless about working hard.

"It turns out that not every Xiangjiang crew is so professional." Zhou Xing realized.

After a while, the short man came back and said to everyone: "Hey, you will be divided into two groups of people when the formation is completed. Follow their respective bosses. The two sides will start to negotiate. Then when your boss gives the order, you will rush towards the opposite side, with a vicious expression, it's that simple, OK?"

Is this the so-called supporting role?

After almost an hour of preparation, the camera and lights were in place, and the shooting was officially started.

The leading actors were not all famous actors, they all looked fierce. The two sides first criticized each other, and then said disagreement and called on their "little brother" to rush forward.

"Crack, I'll push you to your lungs. Do you know if you block the camera? You've been back!"

"Crack, you are so ugly, who told you to really beat me?"

This section seems simple, the shooting is not smooth, and they are all a group of supporting roles. The deputy director did not explain in advance how to fight. It was a mess, and the young man was a little immersed in the role. He thought it was a real group fight, which broke the other supporting role.

I took the films many times in a row, but the results were not good. When I encountered this situation, the director was helpless. It was almost noon, so I had to send a box lunch first.

Taking advantage of the lunch box, Jiang Xue came over. Zhou Xing couldn't help but point at the strong men and asked, "Brother Xue, don't they look like supporting roles? It seems that they are fighting just now."

"As for martial arts, this is usually the case. Ask a supporting actor to make up the numbers. Except for the long shots at the opening to create a hedge scene, the shots will fall on them at other times. People are professional, and how to hit people and how to get beaten are all designed in advance, so that they will be real." Jiang Xue explained.

"Then do they often have work to do?" Zhou Xing said enviously.

Jiang Xue glanced at Zhou Xing and shook her head: "It may not be necessary. If you score a point, the more you have to follow the martial arts coach, the more dramas you will receive. However, you must not only have a martial arts skills in this industry, but also have to work hard. It is as high as a few floors, and you have to jump down without safety measures. You can't do it."
