Chapter 4: Driving.
Today's Zhou Xing's scene is also one of the only two opportunities in the play to be on the same stage with the male lead. After all, it is just a supporting role, so you must naturally cherish such opportunities.
In the open air, the chicken wings on the barbecue grill are emitting an attractive fragrance. The set has been set and the staff are in place.
"Here, yes, just sit in this position, pretend to be a walkie-talkie and talk, and it's very simple, be careful not to look at the camera head-on, Brother Hua..." Mike began to talk to everyone about the opera, arranged the actors' positions, and was very busy.
As Mike said, Zhou Xing is equivalent to the function of a set prop in this play, and he just needs to sit and make a phone call.
“action”
The lights and photography were all on, and the entire crew began to get busy, and the walkie-talkie in front of Zhou Xing also heard the sound.
"Have bbq received? 935 just passed Lok Ma Chau."
The camera began to move slowly, and everyone present looked at Zhou Xing. Everyone was still nervous about this newcomer and was even ready.
Zhou Xing moved his heart, leaned his body sideways, supported one hand on the table, and picked up the walkie-talkie.
"935, when you arrive at Shihuxu, remove the chicken first. The customer is waiting to ask for it and come back soon after delivery."
The director's eyes lit up. Although it was just a line, Zhou Xing showed the casualness, as if he was transporting only poultry, not contraband.
From this line, the audience can also receive: they are already habitual offenders, and this kind of business is completely familiar to them.
At this time, the actor who played the boss Zhou Xing fanned and said, "Fresh Chicken, if I hadn't brought a truck back a day, how could I have a 10-dollar rice?"
Zhou Xing couldn't help but sigh that the person who played his boss was also an unknown supporting role. However, his acting skills were so good. No wonder Xiangjiang Movies became Oriental Hollywood back then.
And at this time, Brother Hua is the male lead in the film.
"There are two dance halls in Mong Kok that were robbed by the number helper. If we retreat, we will have nothing left. This time, I will take the club to Tsim Sha Tsui and talk to Uncle Da and ask him to support me."
Originally, even though this set of shots was finished, the director never shouted "Click"
As an actor, you naturally have to continue acting, even if you don’t have a script, you have to fill in it yourself. This is the basic quality of an actor.
"He has been on the mainland."
At this time, another message came from the walkie-talkie: bbq, there is a police post on Fanling Highway.
"There are still a lot of [sugar]." Zhou Xing glanced at the boss.
"Come back from Yuen Long!" the boss said calmly.
It was as if he was deliberately changing the topic, but Brother Hua, who played the male lead, pursued him reluctantly.
"Help start."
Boss: "If you choose you or Brother Du, he will make his own decisions."
At this time, the camera gave Zhou Xing a close-up. He held the intercom and said, "935, don't go to Shihuxu, come back from Yuen Long immediately." He said to the other younger brothers: "I inform the guests that I will not send chickens today, I will talk about it later."
The boss was forced to do nothing by Brother Hua, so he had to reveal the truth: "I still want to sell candy, and the goods are sold in Brother Du's place."
Brother Hua smiled and took another bite of the chicken wings: "I understand."
"Click!"
"Mike, is that boy you found good? What's the first time acting?" the director pointed to a clip from the monitor.
Mike couldn't help but feel a little proud: "Yes, it's the first time I've made a movie, but this kid is said to be a professional and has been in the drama troupe for two years."
"No wonder, let him have a meal with our crew in the future." The more the director watched, the more he realized that Zhou Xing's performance was just right.
"By the way, he doesn't even have a nickname in his role. If you add one, you'll be called... Dongguanzai."
"have to."
On the other hand, Zhou Xing's performance also attracted the attention of the male lead Brother Hua.
"Young boy, you're doing well, why haven't you seen him before?"
If you are in the mainland, you will definitely be polite. After all, the mainland is so big, how could every actor have seen it? However, it is different in Xiangjiang. The circle is so big that basically all actors with outstanding acting skills have worked together.
Brother Hua said this obviously not something polite, but he felt that with Zhou Xing's acting skills, he should not be silent.
Zhou Xing smiled: "I just came from the mainland."
"Oh, no wonder." Brother Hua patted Zhou Xing on the shoulder: "Young boy is good at acting, there is a promising future."
"Even Brother Hua praised you, you will definitely be able to become a leader in the future." Jiang Xue came to her side at some time, and even said a little sourly.
Zhou Xing then joked, "Hey, the ancestor is just a reward for food. Unlike Brother Xue, you rely on your strength."
"I'll take the exam, you guys are turning around, that's to say I'm not good-looking, right?"
"Wow, you discovered my secret words?"
"Stop, you are so angry, don't run away if you have any habit."
After finishing work, Mike suddenly grabbed Zhou Xing: "Can you drive?"
Driving? Zhou Xing was confused.
Even in 2000, the number of car ownership in the mainland has not yet been raised, and only a few have private cars. If there is no car, who will learn it?
What's more, Zhou Xing remembers that Xiangjiang cars use British standards and the cab is on the right.
"That's right. Seeing that you performed well, the director added a scene to you and needed to drive. If you don't know, hurry up and learn from the crew driver. In Xiangjiang, being an actor can't drive, just like being a young and dandy can't drive. Is it clear that people will be laughed at? "
There is also this saying? However, if there is more skill, it will not hurt you.
"Ahem, Brother Mike, is that extra play, will it be extra money?"
"Haha, what do you think?"
“……”
"Go back and wash, go to bed early, stingy, increase the money? I haven't increased my salary in several years."
After a while, Zhou Xing began to practice driving with Master You. Originally, he thought driving was a very complicated technical job. I vaguely remember that when he was a child, the first person in the village to get rich was a driver who was a neighbor's specialty for transportation. The most grand red brick house in the village was built by his family. When he was a child, Zhou Xing's ideal was to be a truck driver.
However, after practicing for a few days, Zhou Xing found that it seemed that nothing was difficult, it was nothing more than cooperating with the clutch when squirting gears.
After practicing for half a month, Zhou Xing was able to transport props in the crew's broken van.
This period of time also allowed Zhou Xing to see the terrifying efficiency of the Xiangjiang crew. It was only one and a half months before the start of the filming, and the drama has entered the final stage.
The scenes of several protagonists have also been completed.
"Tsk tsk, a movie was filmed in less than two months, and I got millions, and another one was the next one, which was tens of millions a year." Jiang Xue said enviously.
After hearing this, Zhou Xing didn't believe it: "How could he receive the show so quickly?"
"Aren't you an amateur? In Xiangjiang, the more famous you are, the more directors will ask you to film, and there are more actors who play several movies at the same time."
"In a word, being famous means being beneficial and having status!"
"This is Xiangjiang. Do you understand whether you laugh at the poor or not? "
