"Director Lu, there are only these people, there are no more." Deputy Director Zhang, who is known as the "head of the group", pointed to the twenty or so extras he brought over and explained to Director Lu. Zhuozhou Film and Television Base is very large.
There are so many crews filming here that there is often a shortage of extras.
Director Lu frowned and looked at the twenty or so people in front of him. He waved his hand speechlessly and asked the makeup artist to take them to put on makeup. The scene he was about to start shooting required a large number of extras, and only half of them were found so far. Let’s see.
The only thing I can do is discuss with the photographer and use multiple lenses and multiple angles to capture the number of people in the scene.
Li Chengzhong was brought to the makeup artist, and his hair was quickly put into a bun, tied with a chopstick, wrapped in a bridle, and his face was dusted with yellow powder. He was then taken to the costumer. The costumer looked at him
After checking his size, he asked his assistant to get a large round-necked coat and put it around him. He looked at his sneakers, frowned, picked up a pair of Tang boots and handed them over. Li Chengzhong quickly tried them on, and they just fit.
He quickly made room for the next person to receive the clothes.
As a disgraced extra, Li Chengzhong, like most ordinary people, is deeply addicted to the movie dream he weaves. He fantasizes about being spotted by a certain director, becoming famous in one fell swoop, and achieving a glorious life. But in the world,
Li Chengzhong, who is not as satisfactory as expected and has no special appearance, has naturally been struggling in the crowd of extravaganzas and has no chance to show his face. He has participated in dozens of film and television works, and his longest appearance scene is eight seconds.
He played the role of a dead Qing soldier, but his face was smeared with thick pig blood. The fishy smell left a deep impression on him. To this day, he still feels nauseous when eating pork.
Li Chengzhong's failure is also reflected in his lines. In the past three years, he has only spoken one line. That time he played a servant, bent down and respectfully answered "yes". Although only his back was on the camera, he still
I downloaded this movie from the Internet with gusto, watched my own back countless times, giggled, and then fell asleep happily. I met countless fans in my dream, signed autographs for them, chatted in front of reporters, and revealed myself
He sang loudly under the spotlight, attracting cheers from fans...
This is the unsuccessful extra actor Li Chengzhong, but he is not discouraged or discouraged. He is still busy in the Zhuozhou Film and Television Base. Sometimes he cannot get a role for many days, and sometimes he works exhaustingly all day long. Many people who came here in the first place
All his companions have left one after another, but he has been looking for opportunities. He believes that God will not let down those who are willing to do so. He believes that perseverance and perseverance can bring about the day of his dreams.
In today's movie, a scene of an ancient war was to be filmed. Li Chengzhong had to play the role of a dead body lying in the woods. In order to create the atmosphere of the battlefield after the fire attack, he and several extras who also played the role of dead bodies were all issued a paper
Simple smoke bombs of high quality must be ignited on the battlefield according to the director's instructions.
Before the filming started, everyone was resting and waiting. They didn't know which link had gone wrong, and they couldn't wait for the director's order. Li Chengzhong looked at it, guessing that there would still be some time, so he called his colleagues next to him.
Say hello and go to the woods behind. I feel a little urgent to urinate and I really can’t hold it in anymore.
After the relaxation was over, Li Chengzhong walked back and immediately felt a little flustered. Isn't it right? Where are the people? The filming was finished so quickly? He looked around for a moment, but he didn't see anyone on the crew! He hurriedly ran out of the woods.
, there wasn’t even a single figure! Just as I was wondering, I finally saw three people riding horses coming this way in the distance. I felt certain in my heart and hurriedly greeted them. Among the scenes today, the only one with horses in the scenes is Director Lu’s play.
When the two sides approached, the three riders tightened their reins, raised their horses' heads, and stopped on the spot. The three of them were steady on their horses, and their figures were very graceful. Li Chengzhong couldn't help but secretly praised: "Good equestrian skills!"
The leading rider leaned slightly from his horse, looked at Li Chengzhong, and asked, "Where are you from?"
"Ah?" Li Chengzhong was stunned and didn't react.
A rider behind said loudly: "That man, if I ask you a question, answer it quickly!"
Is this... filming? And... there are lines! Li Chengzhong was pleasantly surprised. He didn't know how the director arranged it. When would he, an extra, be able to join the scene? Could it be that he accidentally hit it? This is good
What a chance! He didn't see where the camera was, and didn't dare to look, for fear of hearing the director shouting to stop. But how to pick up this line? His mind was racing, and he quickly handed over his hand and said: "Master, this villain is a local.
"
Although he didn't know his lines, as a senior extra with more than three years of acting experience, Li Chengzhong had seen a lot of costume drama filming with his own eyes, and he thought about it a lot on weekdays. At this time, he imitated the gestures.
I was still listening attentively, but I didn't hear the director shouting to stop, and I was even more happy at the moment.
The first rider asked again: "Local? Where do you live?"
Li Chengzhong was a little dizzy. How should he pick up this line? But a living person cannot choke to death. It is so easy to get such a photo opportunity, so he must not let it slip! He had an idea and answered: "I don't have a home, so I am traveling around."
A rider from the back led his horse forward and whispered to the rider in the lead: "I am accompanying the soldiers, you seem to be a country ranger."
The leading rider nodded and smiled at Li Chengzhong, showing his yellow teeth: "As a local, seeing that you are strong and strong, are you willing to join the army?"
Li Chengzhong was so happy that he almost fainted, blood rushed to his head, his face turned red with excitement, and he said loudly: "Yes!" Darling, these are three lines. Many second- and third-tier professional actors don't have that many lines!
What kind of bad luck did Li Chengzhong have to have so many lines inexplicably? The most important thing is that he didn't hear the director shouting stop! What does this mean? It means that his play was recognized!
"Let's go now, maybe we can follow?" the leading rider asked, stroking his horse's mane.
The fourth sentence! Li Chengzhong became more involved in the drama, bowed again and saluted with fists in his hands: "Yes!"
The three riders controlled the speed of the horse, and Li Chengzhong was jogging behind. Only then did he have time to look at the three riders. The three of them were all dressed as cavalry, wearing dark leather armor, but Li Chengzhong was probably very
It might be blackened foam plastic. However, the quiver and bow hanging on the horse are a bit delicate. It seems that this movie has really put a lot of effort into the props. After observing for a long time, he suddenly woke up and
If you keep running like this, where is the camera?
Normally when acting, he would circle around the camera position, but now he was running in a straight line, and he didn't see the camera following him. He was busy looking around, but he still didn't see anyone else in the crew.
After running like this for more than a mile, my heart began to beat.
After running for a while, they saw two miles away. The three riders slowly stopped their horses, and the first one waited for Li Chengzhong to catch up. He laughed and said, "You are indeed a good man, he can really walk!"
Li Chengzhong said, "What's going on here?" He got into the extras field after retiring from the army. In the army, he had to carry heavy loads for five kilometers every morning, but now he runs two miles on nothing.
It's a piece of cake. He took a breath but didn't bother to reply. He just looked around, feeling more and more panicked. Where are the people on the crew? Where are the cameras? I never thought this place was so desolate before, there was no one there.
!
Moreover, where could such thick green grass come from on this ground? Finally, he discovered a big problem, there were no telephone poles!
On the land of North China, if you want to say what has the most things, there is only one answer: telephone poles! If you want to say what has the least things, there is also only one answer: grass!
But what he felt here was that the grass was green and there were few people. Although there were not many trees, there were more than a dozen or twenty trees, forming clumps of groves scattered in the vast wilderness. There were no farmhouses, no fields, and no human habitation.
, there is no village... Li Chengzhong was a little dazed.
The three riders rode around in a circle, then gathered back together, beckoning Li Chengzhong to follow. Li Chengzhong jogged along in a daze. After running for a few miles, he rested. After resting for a while, he continued running. He was already a little tired.
Confused, what is going on? Where is the Zhuozhou base? Where is the crew? Where are the farmers in the village? Where are the telephone poles? Where are the fields? How come these all suddenly disappeared?
Taking advantage of a pause, Li Chengzhong hesitated and asked the rider at the head, who had always been called "the companion": "Where is this?"
The rider was stunned: "Aren't you a local?"
Li Chengzhong shook his head and said: "I was born in Zhuozhou, but I grew up in Gu'an and have never been here."
The three riders murmured something in a low voice and started laughing. They didn't know what was so funny about it. Li Chengzhong became a little angry. He planned not to follow stupidly anymore. He wanted to go back and ask the crew what was going on. Just now.
When he was about to say goodbye, he saw the guy who had always been called "the companion" gestured to silence everyone, then took off his bow and arrow from his horse, bent the bow full of the moon, and with a "swish" sound, an arrow was pierced thirty meters away.
In the grass, a rider rode over, leaned over, picked up a gray rabbit with an arrow, carried it back and threw it on the ground.
Li Chengzhong took a look and saw that the arrow was stuck at the base of the rabbit's hind leg. The rabbit was kicking its legs, but it was dead. The three riders burst into laughter, peeled the skin and made a fire, and put it away on the spot. Li Chengzhong felt a little dry at the moment.
, he swallowed in panic, thinking something bad in his heart, he didn't dare to say goodbye anymore, he just kept thinking about one thing over and over in his mind, this bow and arrows are not decorations!
After eating a few pieces of rabbit meat thrown by the "companion", Li Chengzhong continued on the road. As he ran, Li Chengzhong thought about how to find a way to escape. The more he looked at these three people, the less they looked like good people. Finally, he had the courage to ask:
"Where are we going?"
"Pan Rong" turned around on his horse and said, "Aren't you going to join the army? Just follow me!"
Li Cheng was helpless. Are these three people crazy? Why did they surrender to the army? What happened? Is it kidnapping? As soon as this idea came to him, he shook his head secretly. On the one hand, he was not a woman or a child, and on the other hand, he looked the same.
He looked like he had no money, why did he kidnap himself? Although he couldn't figure it out, he slowly stopped and wanted to run away. But as soon as he stopped, the three people slowly took the horse back, without any help.
He had the chance to turn around and leave. Looking at the bows and arrows on the horses of the three men and the horizontal knives on their waists, Li Chengzhong felt helpless and had to follow him again.
After a few more miles, Li Chengzhong finally saw people. However, these people were dressed the same as the three horsemen. They were riding horses wearing armor, with knives or spears hanging from their waists, and they were traveling in teams.
After crossing a hillside, Li Chengzhong opened his mouth for a long time and did not close it for a long time. His heart suddenly surged like a stormy sea, and he could no longer calm down.
A huge ancient camp stretching for miles appears in front of you!
