Hengdian at 4 a.m.

The bored Zhou Jing curled up in the corner of the old trade union and looked out the house with half-closed eyes. From yesterday to now, he had slept for less than five hours in total, with the dark circles at the corners of his eyes very obvious.

There were crowds of people in the union, some gathered together to play cards and pass the time, some lying on the table and some were stupid, and some took advantage of this opportunity to take a nap. Who knows when will the work end today?

In Hengdian in July, the weather was extremely hot. More than 40 people gathered in the house less than 30 square meters. There was no air conditioning and only an old ceiling fan was spinning slowly. Apart from psychological comfort, there was no refrigeration effect. Even if you just sit there and don’t move, you could sweat all over.

Zhou Jing, who was so sleepy, couldn't control so much. He leaned his forehead on his knees and his hands wrapped around his calves, and he fell asleep in a daze.

"Welcome to the villain actor system, please select the characters you need to simulate."

In the hazy state, Zhou Jing seemed to be in a new space, and a line of words appeared in front of him. At the same time, a huge screen also appeared. Zhou Jing couldn't figure out whether this was a dream or a reality. Just as he was about to reach out to touch it, a voice suddenly came.

"Brother, you are here to be a star, too?"

Zhou Jing slowly raised his head, rubbed his eyes, and looked to the side with sleepy eyes. There was no idea when someone sat beside him. He looked about the same age as him, and he looked about twenty years old.

"What kind of celebrities are not celebrities? They are just here to make a living." Zhou Jing wiped off the sweat from his forehead and replied casually, thinking about the scene just now.

"How many people here don't want to be celebrities?" The man smiled unquestionably, his face full of excitement, "I've thought about it anyway. If I don't make a difference, I will never leave Hengdian!"

Zhou Jing did not speak up, but just glanced at him. From this sentence, we can conclude that this person must be new, because at the beginning, Zhou Jing was as naive as he, thinking that with his own efforts, he could make a name for himself in the entertainment industry.

But soon, Zhou Jing realized that he was thinking too much. There was no financial supporter. So many art candidates from college were all the same, let alone the lowest-level extras like them?

There are tens of thousands of extras coming to Hengdian every year, but none of them really stand out. How many people came here with enthusiasm but eventually left sadly?

There is only one Wang Baoqiang, and most of them are just passers-by.

Zhou Jing, who just turned 23 this year, was a "Beijing drifter" in the imperial capital Yanjing for two years before coming to Hengdian in May. Because he was not well-informed, he was deceived to Huairou Courtyard and worked for others for half a year. Then he got out and came to Hengdian. In short, Zhou Jing is also an old actor in the extras.

The sky gradually showed whiteness. After a while, the group came, so Zhou Jing stopped sleeping and simply started chatting with the young man next to him.

The young man's name is Wang Qiang. He just arrived here yesterday, and today I couldn't wait to come here to take on the show. His words were full of expectations for the life of "Hengpiao".

Zhou Jing has been here for more than two months and knows a lot of things, so he talked about some of his experiences to Wang Qiang, but it didn't hurt him much. After a long time, Wang Qiang naturally knew what kind of life he was facing.

"The car is here!"

I don’t know who called out, and then I saw a group of people rushing out like flying. Zhou Jing didn’t have time to say more to Wang Qiang, patted his shoulder and rushed out, and couldn’t wait here for so long.

"Brother Tian, ​​please ask me, I'll live well!"

"Brother Tian, ​​you haven't had dinner yet. I'll arrive at the crew later. Please have breakfast.

!”

"Brother Tian, ​​I agreed last night that I must take me today!"

…………

As soon as the leader of the group Li Tianle got off the car, the group immediately surrounded him and tried to hand over his actor certificate, just like a concubine in the ancient harem waiting for the emperor to flip the cards, because as long as the actor certificate was taken away, it would mean that there was work to do today.

Zhou Jing, who was sandwiched in the middle, also pushed forward with great effort. He was 1.8 meters tall, and was particularly eye-catching in the crowd.

"Everyone is quiet. Whoever pushes forward can never take on the show in the future!" Li Tianle, wearing a hat, shouted impatiently with a loudspeaker in his hand.

Sure enough, the crowd suddenly became quiet. For most extras, the group leader is already an unattainable existence.

"Today, we all need eight people, 80 yuan a day, and each person has a red envelope of 10 yuan. After a while, click on the name and get on the bus." As he said that, Li Tianle put down the horn and began to scan the crowd.

"Liu Laoer, you, and you..."

The selected people walked out of the crowd happily, got on the bus under everyone's gaze, and soon there was only one place left.

Li Tianle looked at him again in the crowd, and then looked at Zhou Jing, "That handsome young man, you are the only one."

Zhou Jing was stunned for a moment, then immediately showed a big smile, "Thank you, Brother Tian!"

He has been selected by the group more than once because of his handsome appearance. In the entertainment industry where he is looking at his face, even the bottom-level extras are so realistic.

"Grass! Just play a dead person. She looks handsome and has a good reputation, but she is not a person who sells her butt!" Someone in the crowd muttered.

"Even if you are selling ass, it's useful to look at your face. Isn't it the same if you take off your pants?" someone said again.

***

The car quickly drove into the film and television city. According to regulations, the crew that started filming before 7 o'clock had to provide breakfast. Taking advantage of the meal, Li Tianle called a few people over and started to speak out.

"When filming starts, listen to the crew's arrangements and let you die as you die. Don't be foolish. Liu Laoer, you are the most dying among the few people. Teach them how to die later, and try to die once."

Zhou Jing is not unfamiliar with the role he will play next. The entire Hengdian Film and Television City is the most dead: the devils in the anti-Japanese drama.

Zhou Jing is also a Japanese man who has experienced many battles, but today's anti-Japanese drama still surprised him. All the buns grenades and high-energy armor-piercing bombs were weak, because today's drama combines many elements such as time travel, rebirth, and cultivation. It can be said that thunder has come out of a new realm.

Simply put, it is the story of a fellow Taoist who failed to survive the tribulation and was reborn in the Anti-Japanese era, improving his cultivation during the War of Resistance, and finally ascending smoothly.

The plot to be filmed today is the male protagonist who is reborn and meets a team of Japanese devils. When the Japanese tried to capture the male protagonist, they accidentally triggered the male protagonist's Thunder God body, and they all were electrocuted...

Originally, filming was about to start at 6:30, but until 7:30, the male lead of the show did not appear. The director was so anxious that he cursed. Later, the director answered a call, which should have been called by the other party's agent, saying that the male actor had cut his hand and was on the way to the hospital. It was probably not until 11:00 to arrive at the crew.

The director's face turned green in an instant, but he could only nod his head repeatedly, say a few words of concern, and then hung up the phone.

The male lead did not come, so he could only skip the first scene and take some unimportant shots first, such as close-ups of several Japanese who were electrocuted by the male lead. He thought that the first shot would be passed, but what Zhou Jing did not expect was that someone really didn't know how to die.

"Damn it! That shortest Japanese man, how can you get out of here! You played the role of a dead person, who made you stick out your tongue? It was a blood bag, not a tomato sauce!"

The director who had accumulated a lot of popularity finally broke out and pointed at one of the extras and shouted angrily.

The extra who didn't know if it wasn't full in the morning did not dare to say a word, so he could only smile and leave embarrassedly. No one spoke for him during the whole process.

After scolding the extra, the director called the venue again, "Let the two black crowds keep their mouths tighter. They need a close-up. What does this row of snow-white teeth mean?"

These two black crowd actors are special actors found by the crew and play the role of burnt corpses because compared to props, it is cheaper to find them.

After this, the filming became smoother, and the male lead was really punctual. He said that it was eleven o'clock and that it was eleven o'clock. After getting off the nanny's car, several people were crowded with agents and assistants. Fans who had been waiting on the scene for a long time screamed at the top of their voices when they saw Dou get out of the car.

"It's like he's broken with a finger. He's so expensive!" One of the extras said angrily.

But acid is sour, this is the wrist, and you can't accept it!

Although it came a little late, the starring actor was dedicated. His fingers were broken and he didn't use a stand-in. It took half an hour to finish the morning drama. I'll ask if you are awesome!

…………

With the cooperation of the male lead, Zhou Jing finished today's shooting task before 5 pm and successfully received today's salary, totaling 90 yuan. It is estimated that even the starring actor's lunch is not enough.
Chapter completed!
