Chapter 855: Star Dream
Song Xi and her female companion trotted back to the Republic of China City. There was a TV series crew filming here. As soon as the two arrived, a man in his thirties came over with a calm face when he saw them.
"Song Xi, Li Shuiqin, what are you doing? The job you have been ordered can't be found. Do you still want to do it? I was short of people just now, which made me scolded by Director Qian." The man scolded him.
This man is the head of the group, named Han Kui, and has a number 40 or 50. Song Xi and Li Shuiqin are with him. The head of the group is mainly due to the actors' winning numbers. Of course, they are also responsible for contact work and have certain small connections in the film and television city.
The director Qian mentioned in Han Kui is the deputy director of the crew, responsible for casting, scheduling, props, logistics, extras, etc. For extras, such an associate director is a big shot who can control their life and death. If you get out of here, you will have no work to do.
"Brother Kui, there is a big drama in the Ming and Qingcheng City. It is starring Chen Kun and Guliya. We went to see it. By the way, Brother Kui, do we have any work there? If there is, we can ask for an autograph, take a group photo, etc. Then," Li Shuiqin said with a smile.
Han Kui glared at her, "That kind of big show is not that easy to take on work. It has been stolen by those big groups. Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and change your clothes and act as your prostitute."
Song Xi was about to leave with Li Shuiqin, but Han Kui called her, "Song Xi, wait, I have something to say to you."
"What's the matter?" Song Xi asked in surprise.
"Let's go and talk," and then left. Song Xi glanced at Li Shuiqin, and the two followed him. Han Kui turned around and saw Li Shuiqin coming too, and his face darkened and said, "Li Shuiqin, go change your clothes, there will be a scene later."
"Oh~~" Li Shuiqin had to turn around and leave, but when she turned around, she gave Song Xi a faint look.
Han Kui and Song Xi came under a tree. Han Kui looked at Song Xi. Song Xi was very beautiful and tall. To be honest, he also salivated Song Xi and expressed it twice, but he didn't respond. This kind of arrogance graduated from a regular drama academy is too strong.
Han Kui took out a cigarette and lit it, took a sip, and said in a serious tone: "Song Xi, how long have you been to Hengdian?"
"It's almost a year." Song Xidao.
"Yes, it's been a year. You should have seen this in Hengdian clearly. There are so many people here, and there are the most people. There are more than 100,000 people in Hengdian are looking for work, and school beauties are everywhere. Those who are praised as goddesses at school are caught here. Look at the extras you are together, and those who are not beautiful."
"What are they doing? Is it for a hundred dollars a day, or to wait for an opportunity to become the next Wang Baoqiang and Zhang Liying?"
"But it's not that easy to become famous. Opportunities are not something you can wait for, but they are made. If you want to get it, you have to pay. Your background in studying opera is considered half a professional class. You are beautiful and you need opportunities. You understand."
Song Xi nodded.
"Our crew director Qian is responsible for arranging roles. He has the right to decide the small characters in the play. Director Qian told me that he is very optimistic about you and wants to ask you to drink and sing K. Let's talk back and have a small role. It's not a problem, it's an opportunity." Han Kui said.
Song Xi naturally knew that drinking and singing was just a superficial vocabulary, and she didn't want to sleep with herself. Such things were common in Hengdian, and there were not too many things. When Song Xi thought of Qian's greasy middle-aged look, she felt disgusted.
"I can't drink or sing." Song Xi said in a stiff tone.
"you!"
Han Kui was a little angry.
"I tell you, this is a rare opportunity. Many people come from this. They can only have big characters first, and finally become stars. Don't you want to be big stars?" Han Kui said.
Song Xi shook her head.
"I want to be a star, but I don't want to live that much. At worst, I won't do it anymore and go home to eat my parents." Song Xi said.
When she first learned opera, she had fantasized countless times that she could become famous and become a big star, but she didn't want to slander herself and let such people rush around her. If that were the case, she might not be able to forgive herself.
She has her bottom line and dignity. At worst, she doesn’t do it anymore. When she goes home to find her parents, she doesn’t do anything but living. At worst, she can give up her dream of being a celebrity.
In this year's extra-acting career, she saw too many dark sides. Many people used Wang Baoqiang and Zhang Liying as role models, but there were a few who could really stand out, just like buying lottery tickets. If millions of people bought lottery tickets, wouldn't one win the first prize?
These assistant directors say that they praise you and give you a chance, but they actually want to sleep with you.
Song Xi had seen some beautiful girls. For the sake of that small role, they slept with the group head and slept with the assistant director. The crew slept with the people in the crew, and they slept with them all over the place. They were played around by men, but in the end they were still an extra.
Han Kui's face became a little unpleasant. Director Qian fell in love with Song Xi and asked him to say that if it was true, he could deepen his connections and find more dramas in the future. Now that Song Xi refuses, it would be equivalent to offending others and cutting off his own financial path.
Han Kui threw away the cigarette butt, twisted it hard on the ground with his toes, and said, "You think about it again. This is a rare opportunity. Let's go act first."
Song Xi turned around and left.
......
He changed into a cheongsam, squinted his head casually, and stood in front of the mirror to put on makeup. Li Shuiqin looked at Song Xi and said, "Your figure has long legs raised in front and back. It looks so good to wear a cheongsam."
Speaking of this, she approached and whispered: "It's much better than those heroines. By the way, what's the matter with Han Kui?"
Song Xi continued to put on makeup and didn't speak.
Li Shuiqin said to herself, "Actually, I can guess that those people are not all of the same virtues. When they see beautiful ones, they want to come on. What can they do in the end? Alas, how many of these actors can have in this group?"
The two of them changed their clothes and came out to clear the scene to start filming. The scene was very simple. The male protagonist and the female protagonist walked on the street, surrounded by a strong Republic of China style. Then a rickshaw passed by, with a scent of rushing forward. The female protagonist slipped under her feet, and the male protagonist took her in her arms and looked at each other. A feeling of love slowly grew between the two people looking at each other.
A very cliché and beautiful scene.
All were used up.
But there is also a bad market.
Li Shuiqin was wearing a cheongsam and leaning against a doorstep to pretend to be a prostitute, while Song Xi was carrying a small bag and pretending to be shopping on the street.
This kind of job is 100 yuan a day in Hengdian, and it is responsible for two lunch boxes, and the group head is 10%.
“action!”
The director gave the order.
The machine is turned on,
The extras moved and wandered around the street like zombies, without any energy, but they were just background boards, all in the camera were empty, and no one cared about them.
The hero and heroine appear,
The male protagonist is wearing a straight suit, the female protagonist calls out a cheongsam, and the male protagonist looks a little shy from time to time. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the two of them have a little meaning between each other.
Just then,
A rickshaw ran over from behind quickly. When approaching the two, the rickshaw coach pulled the bell and made a "dangdang" sound. The heroine was startled and quickly flashed to the hero's side. She slipped under her feet and was about to fall. The hero hugged her, and then the ambiguous moment of the two.
But at this moment, the rickshaw rushed towards Song Xi next to her after running past the heroine. Song Xi was walking forward with her back to them, without any precautions. The rickshaw's rickshaw suddenly hit her waist. Song Xi screamed in pain and fell to the ground.
Song Xi covered her waist, and the pain was so painful that she was sweating.
And this accident completely ruined the scene.
"Card!"
The director called out, what a great scene, it's over, and it's going to be reshooted. The director stood up and pointed at the coachman in anger and scolded, "What's wrong with you, that coachman? Why are you so careless?"
"Director, I was wrong. I just slipped and went off the wrong way." The coachman quickly apologized.
"Okay, I'll clean up the reshoot, it's really a mess." The director said.
The male and female protagonists separated, and the two men sorted out their clothes and walked backwards to prepare for the scene again.
Deputy Director Qian came over and scolded the rickshaw driver, "You are blind. Do you don't want to do it anymore? Some people don't want to do it, but Hengdian just doesn't lack people to know."
"Director Qian, I will pay attention next time, I will pay attention." The coachman nodded and bowed his head, but there was a smile in his eyes, and he secretly gave Director Qian a small wink.
"Get back and reshoot, you can't go wrong next time."
"Know, know."
The rickshaw driver ran away with the car, and only Song Xi was left in the field. From beginning to end, no one cared about her. Her waist hurt very much and she felt like she was scattered.
"What are you still sitting on the ground? If you want to film, you must be dedicated. Why do you want the crew to report you an injury."
At this time, a cold voice sounded. Song Xi turned his head and saw Dao Qian looking at her impatiently.
"I~~."
"What are you? If you don't want to do it, leave. There is no shortage of people here. Can you afford to delay the shooting progress?" Director Qian said with a cold face.
Everyone around was watching this scene, and some people seemed to understand something, and Song Xi was probably targeted.
Song Xi took a breath and wanted to stand up. Her cheongsam was a little tight, and her waist was so painful that she didn't get up for the first time. Li Shuiqin, who was standing in the distance, looked dazed for a moment, and she pursed her lips and ran over, helping Song Xi to pull her up.
"snort!"
Director Qian snorted coldly, turned around and shouted at the other extras, "Everyone is doing things well, Hengdian just has no shortage of people. If you don't want to do it, get out of here, props will return to your position, and the extras will be in place. In 3 minutes, you will be ready to remake the scene just now."
Song Xi gritted her teeth in pain. Li Shuiqin rubbed her twice quickly and said, "Are you okay? I'm going back."
"It's okay, you go back, thank you Sister Shuiqin." Song Xi thanked in a low voice.
"What are you thanking? Alas, be careful, be more eye-catching." Li Shuiqin said and immediately ran back to her position, and continued to pretend to be a prostitute who was leaning against the door and selling laughter.
The shooting continues,
It was still the scene just now.
Song Xi relaxed for a moment, her waist did not hurt as much as before, but she still walked slowly.
She is not stupid.
She knew that the scene just now might not be a coincidence. The original video of the rickshaw was about two or three meters away from her, so how could it be so erratic? And when it hit me, it was so ruthless that I had no power at all.
Adding to the sarcastic words from Associate Director Qian just now, she knew that it was just warning herself.
Although it is already May, Song Xi’s heart is cold. This is the entertainment industry and the lowest level.
Is her star dream really possible?
