Chapter 1 begins with "Conquest"
2002, spring.
The crew of "Conquer".
“Let me ask you, does this melon stay ripe?”
“Stuck!”
"Director, why are you saying it's stuck? Is there something wrong with my acting?"
"Hong Lei... why don't you restrain yourself, Liu Huaqiang is not as bad as your character..."
While the crew was having a break, a vigorous figure brought two bottles of mineral water to the lead actor and director.
"Director Gao, Brother Hong Lei, have a drink of water and have a rest."
When the two of them turned around, they saw Zhang Yuan's handsome smiling face.
Gao Qunshu: Thank you.
Sun Honglei: Thank you, little brother.
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, two notification tones sounded in Zhang Yuan's head.
【Received thanks from Gao Qunshu, director skills +1! 】
【Received thanks from Sun Honglei, acting +1! 】
Comfortable!
Two bottles of water are exchanged for two skill points, a guaranteed profit.
Three days ago, a dump truck transported Zhang Yuan back to the distant year of 2002.
This year, the housing price in the Imperial Capital was only 5,000 per square meter.
This year, the total national movie box office was only 900 million yuan.
This year, Lao Mouzi's "Hero" will be released at the end of the year and become the box office champion.
This year, "Brother" Leslie Cheung's posthumous work "Alien Space" will be released soon.
This year, Zhang Yuan lived a new life and became a Beipiao who squatted in front of the Beijing Film Studio.
There is another thing that came with him, called the [Gratitude System].
This system allows him to obtain skill points from anyone's thanks, gratitude, and gratitude.
The specific skills acquired vary from person to person. According to Zhang Yuan's observation, they are mainly based on what the subject is good at.
Once you have come, make peace with it. With the memory of two lives, he quickly adapted to his new identity and began to plan his life plans.
There are so many opportunities these days. Many of the top superstars and top directors of later generations are either students or unknown and playing minor roles.
After some calculation, Zhang Yuan decisively came to the crew of "Conquest".
After reviving his life, he decided to conquer this blue ocean of film and television starting with "Conquer"!
"Little brother, I see you are quite active. If you have any ideas, feel free to tell Director Gao." Sun Honglei took the water he gave and put it aside, then handed Zhang Yuan a message with a smile.
Although Sun Honglei plays gangsters superbly in movies and TV dramas, in real life he always has a smile on his face and is extremely polite to everyone.
"Hey, thank you, Brother Honglei." Zhang Yuan immediately made a silly smile and turned to look at director Gao Qunshu.
"Director, my name is Zhang Yuan, and I want to make progress so much!"
Director Gao Qunshu laughed hoarsely. This guy was quite direct, reminding him of his childhood self, and he was in a daze. I felt a bit like it.
"Oh, it's good for young people to be motivated." The director replied with a smile, and looked him up and down: "Zhang Yuan, I remember."
As the saying goes, icing on the cake is easy. , It is difficult to provide help in times of need.
If Zhang Yuan were to join a large production crew now, an extra actor like him would not be able to talk to the director or the lead actor, and even if he wanted to get an autograph, the other party would not necessarily pay attention to him.
But the crew of the divine drama "Conquest" has a very obvious characteristic.
Poor!
They are so poor that even the extra actors' salary is 10 yuan less than that of the big crew, which is only 30 yuan a day.
The male lead Sun Honglei’s salary is only 1,000 yuan per episode.
Because the crew is poor, everyone from the actors to the staff has no pretensions and is very approachable.
Relying on this, he has accumulated a lot of skill points by delivering water in the past few days.
After a few more pleasantries, Zhang Yuan stepped aside sensibly and returned to his own job, human flesh background board.
"Zhang Yuan, how's your delivery to the plumber?" Returning to the group of performers, a sneer came from beside him.
Zhang Yuan knew that this was Zhao Jin, his roommate in the rental house, without even bothering to turn around.
This person, like me, is also an extra and came to the crew at the same time.
“The money given is very little, but you still give money to buy water and give it away. How stupid are you?”
“30 a day is enough to eat, what’s the point of being so active? Use it.”
"I know the male lead Sun Honglei. He's just a breakdancer. He's not a serious actor at all."
"The director Gao Qunshu is also a fool. I heard that he borrowed money to make this film. , look at how poor he is.”
“I don’t think the dramas produced by this little crew can be broadcast, they are just pretending to be fools.” When everyone goes to school, there should be such a scumbag in the class. , it doesn’t matter if you don’t work hard, but when others work hard, they will say some discouraging words to wear down the will of others, in an attempt to "infect" others into being like lazy dogs like you.
Zhao Jin is obviously such a "scumbag".
But little did he know that this "break dancer" as he calls him would become a popular male star because of this drama.
And this "poor director" will direct the spy movie "The Wind" in a few years!
The most powerful thing is this "little crew".
"Huaqiang buys melons", "Feng Biao in a night play", "Song Tiger holds a banquet" and other scenes, even after more than 20 years have passed, they are still talked about by drama fans and have become a generation Internet memes.
Besides, he can get a bunch of skill points with just a few bottles of water. What does he know?
Zhang Yuan just smiled at his roommate and didn't say much.
The next time went on as usual. Zhang Yuan prepared two full boxes of Nongfu Spring Spring in advance, and took the initiative to deliver water to the actors while they were resting.
This crew is so poor that they don’t even have a tea station, so everyone is naturally happy to see someone offering water, and they thank them profusely.
【Received a thank you from He Tiehong, +1 for acting! 】
【Received a thank you from Baihongbiao, drinking capacity +1! 】
[Received thanks from Liu Weiwei, temperament +1! 】
......
It was a fruitful afternoon, and I even became familiar with the crew.
At about five o'clock, the extras were ready to call it a day and go home.
“Look what I said, I put in two boxes of water and caught nothing.”
Zhang Yuan didn't bother to pay attention to him, and Zhao Jin still ignored him.
At this moment, actor He Tiehong, who played Zhou Guoquan, walked towards them. He also served as the on-site producer of the crew.
"Your name is Zhang Yuan, the director is looking for you."
Hearing this, Zhang Yuan turned around and said something to his roommate with a smile.
"I have something else to do, please go back first."
Then he swaggered and followed the other party away, leaving Zhao Jin standing alone, his face gradually darkening.
If he is not afraid of his brother suffering, he is afraid of his brother driving a Land Rover. At this time, Zhao Jin has mixed emotions and is thinking about whether he should also prepare a few boxes of water tomorrow.
But when I think about the money that will be spent, I hesitate again. It is difficult to accomplish anything big by being so stingy.
The conversation was divided into two parts. Zhang Yuan came to Director Gao. He kept smoking cigarettes one after another. He was obviously worried.
“You’re here, kid.” After finishing one cigarette, he used the extinguished cigarette butt to light the next one and stuffed it into his mouth: “You said you wanted to make progress before, but now you have a chance.”
After a brief explanation from the other party, he understood that a supporting actor was temporarily unable to come to the set.
"You and Tie Hong have a try. If it works, the role is yours. If it doesn't work, don't blame me."
This is an unexpected opportunity, but if it hadn't been for him before He self-recommended, and no pie in the sky could hit him on the head.
"No problem!" Zhang Yuan immediately issued a military order.
Today alone, he showed more than 10 points of acting skills. This small supporting role is completely worthwhile.
After getting a thin page of lines, Zhang Yuan spent ten minutes reading it carefully to fully understand the characters.
The supporting character's name is Gao Erlin. He is the top horseman of the villain Feng Biao in the film. He appears many times in the play and has a lot of scenes.
After the preparations were completed, He Tiehong, who played Zhou Guoquan, acted with him. The content was that Zhou Guoquan was steaming in a bathing center and was ganked by Zhang Yuan.
Taking the prop knife, Zhang Yuan changed his momentum, flipped his wrist and put the knife on the opponent's neck.
"I tell you, give me a longer memory, don't be shameless!"
Zhang Yuan's eyes turned red and he twisted his face. Every time he uttered a word, the muscles in his cheeks trembled, and his originally handsome face became extremely vicious.
That look in your eyes is like it can speak - no one can even think of leaving the house without giving you some blood today!
The actor who played Zhou Guoquan was so overwhelmed by Zhang Yuan's momentum that he slipped and fell off his stool.
“That’s enough.” Director Gao immediately shouted to stop when he saw this.
This guy's acting skills are obviously much better than I thought...
A layman looks at the excitement, an expert looks at the door.
Originally, he thought that this young man was quite capable and popular, but when there was a temporary shortage of people, he thought of this rather attentive boy.
He didn't have much hope for Zhang Yuan's acting skills. If it weren't for tonight's drama, he would have really wanted to wait until the professional actors were in place before filming.
But he never expected that Zhang Yuan’s performance gave him a surprise!
"Go to the dressing room on the second floor to change clothes. After dinner, there will be a scene in the evening. This is the script."
Zhang Yuan was overjoyed. The opportunity came faster than he imagined.
After receiving the script and reading it roughly, Zhang Yuan had a weird smile on his face.
Because the scene that is about to be filmed is one of the three famous scenes.
Liu Huaqiang plays Feng Biao at night!
