Chapter Six: Trial Screening.
In the next month, Zhou Xing began to travel among various crews, playing supporting roles. As Jiang Xue said, as long as people work hard in this industry, they will never be hungry.
Not only will he not be hungry, Zhou Xing saved more than 5,000 yuan in one month, which is more than his three-month salary in the drama troupe.
Of course, Zhou Xing didn't take this little money seriously yet. It really made him feel that this trip to Xiangjiang was not in vain. It was because through this period of contact, he had a general concept of filming of the movie, which he could not learn in the college textbooks.
"Dang, I finally finished work. This ghost weather is so hot."
"Hey, have you bought the horse racing today? Are there any good recommendations?"
"Of course I bought it. The number 13 I like [Longtan Tiger] won the game alone. This horse is amazing. I will tell you..."
When the crew finished work, most of the supporting actors who were traveling with them talked about happy nightclubs either buying horses or going to. Zhou Xing always thought that it was really irresponsible to have a bunch of supporting actors from the bottom of society and want to spend money when they make money.
But after getting in touch with it for a lot, Zhou Xing realized that this is their lifestyle, and the probability of winning the lottery for a horse is actually not low. You can often hear someone in the industry who won tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of yuan, but even if they win the horse, they will eventually hand it back to the Jockey Club. This is the reason why they will lose after a long bet.
"Yes, do you want to play? No. 13, I will definitely get there."
Zhou Xing was about to decline, but Jiang Xue came out from somewhere: "You kid don't buy a mobile phone, so I'm looking for it for a long time. Today, the midnight show of [Black Club Storm] is being previewed. Hurry up and go back to clean up."
"What? Preview today? Why don't I know?"
It was only one month before the post-production was completed? Zhou Xing was a little surprised.
"Nonsense, who told you not to buy a mobile phone? Do you still have to ask Brother Feng to inform you in person?" Jiang Xue complained again.
Zhou Xing thought it was the same, it seemed that the money would have to be spent. With a mobile phone, it would be much more convenient to pick up jobs in the future.
"Okay, I'll buy one tomorrow." Zhou Xing gritted his teeth and said in pain.
The midnight trial is a tradition of Xiangjiang movies. First try the audience's reaction in advance. If the response is good, the publicity will definitely be increased in the later stage. If the response is not good, the production team will have to re-examine their own films, whether to re-edit and organize the narrative structure or to give up.
"Hey, why didn't Brother Hua come?" Zhou Xing asked quietly.
Jiang Xue gave him annoyed look, as if he asked a very idiotic question: "Nonsense, the preview is not the premiere. Brother Hua and his friends made so many movies a year, how could they participate in the preview of each drama?"
The preview is not charged, and midnight is just beginning for people in Xiangjiang, so there are many people who come to the cinema for free.
Everyone, including director Feng, mingled among this group of free parties and entered the screening hall. Zhou Xing didn't understand why, as the main creator, he was so sneaky.
Until, I heard a group of young people gnawing sugarcane in the back row talking.
"Brother Zu, what movies are you watching in the middle of the night? How great is it to ask me to go and sing and find a little girl?"
"Puyamo, I have told you many times that you should improve your self-cultivation as a young and dandy. You can read more books and movies if you have nothing to do, and don't even think about shooting all day long."
The little brother who was taught a lesson was a little unhappy, and took a bite of sugarcane hard and muttered in a low voice: "Damn it, if this is a bad movie, I won't be able to play the director out."
.........
Well, Zhou Xing finally knows why Brother Feng is so "low-key".
At the beginning of the movie, a group of women playing mahjong, and there were a few children playing next to it. Following the camera, a group of old men were eating and drinking tea.
From their conversations, the audience can easily get information. The gang has to choose the person involved. The most promising one is Brother Hua and Brother Du.
Just as they were arguing, the police came and brought all the people to the police station.
A group of young and dandy boys behind him were indignant: "These guys really have nothing to do after eating too much. They choose the person they want to do, and they don't break the law. They catch people for no reason? They're crazy!"
However, soon, the gang was in a tense way because of the matter of choosing the person involved. The police began to intervene and arrested the bosses.
"Brother Du is so arrogant. I like it, Brother Zu, when do you think we will be so arrogant?"
"I'm crazy. The more arrogant you are, the easier it is to die. You see, Brother Hua is different. He is hidden and everyone supports him. This is the demeanor of being a big boss."
So far, the Dongguanzi played by Zhou Xing is still unknown, and the audience seems to have not noticed that he is looking for a supporting role.
Until the appearance of the dragon head stick, Zhou Xing's figure appeared on the big screen, with black trousers and red T-shirt. He opened the car door and found that there was no one in the car. Then he looked at the grass next to him.
A bird was startled, and Zhou Xing immediately ran towards the grass.
Finally, a fat man was intercepted in the depths of the grass.
"Brothers entrusted their finances and items to them, and those who have private robberies will die under ten thousand swords."
On the big screen, Zhou Xing held a log and slammed the fat man's body, and many viewers almost subconsciously shrank their necks.
Even the young and dandy behind him couldn't help swallowing, and his voice was trembling.
"Brother Zu, this should be painful, right?"
"Yes, if it were me, I would definitely hand over the dragon head stick."
In fact, Brother Zu was sweating on his forehead, but he taught a lesson: "You two are frustrated, are you embarrassed to lose? Just a movie, how can you be beaten by a gangster? Just a wooden stick. Your Brother Zu was chased by more than a dozen people with machetes that time, and he also fought a way out?"
"Ah? Brother Zu, can I not be a young and dandy?"
Zhou Xingzheng was secretly amused, and suddenly a cold voice came from his mind.
System: Congratulations to the player Zhou Xing, the fan value is 1
It finally opened. Although it was just a fan, Zhou Xing was still very happy. Everything was difficult at the beginning, and this was just a trial.
The video continues, and the next thing is that Zhou Xing accidentally encountered a policeman in driving a truck and ran over the policeman.
system:

.........
The prompt sound kept ringing, and the repeated prompt sounds, Zhou Xing not only did not feel bored, but felt like the sound of nature.
Until Zhou Xing's last shot in the video.
"Justice Qi."
The boss played by Brother Hua said, "You hit the bastard to death. Do you want me to help you run away?"
"No need, I can't escape. I'll go back and surrender myself. I'll sit in the bitter kiln for a few years. I'll be a hero again when I come out." Zhou Xing shrugged easily and lit a cigarette by the way, as if he did something insignificant.
"Selling, have you seen it? Only in this way can you become a good player? Learn from Dongguanzi."
"But Brother Zu, I'm in jail, I'd rather not take the post."
"Yes, I heard that no one cares if he was tortured to death by others in the Ku Kung Fu Kiln. It's very miserable. Brother Zu, I have figured it out. I'd better not be an old or a dandy."
