Chapter 23: Zhanguang
While the crew was taking a break, Chen Kun and the others pulled Zhang Yuan and asked him what was the secret to making such rapid progress recently.
Of course Zhang Yuan couldn't tell the trick of "winning money from Chen Kun and then losing money to the old actors". He only said that he often asked a few old magicians in the crew for advice, and they gave him I have a lot of opinions.
A few people looked sad.
Young people are embarrassed to speak. At the same time, even if they ask, they still have to decide whether they can learn it or not.
Several people were envious of Zhang Yuan's social skills. How could he coax everyone from the director to the actors to be submissive?
Even Liu Xiaoli, who has high eyesight, is very polite to Zhang Yuan, and her daughter, who is like a little princess, often circles around Zhang Yuan.
A few people were walking and chatting. When passing by the rest area where extra performers gathered, a weak shout came from the crowd.
"Zhang, Zhang Yuan..."
Zhang Yuan turned around and took a closer look.
Isn’t this my roommate?
At this time, Zhao Jin was wearing a gray coarse linen suit, looking like a servant from a wealthy family.
Obviously, he got a job as an extra on the set.
Generally, extras only get 50 RMB a day, and stingy ones like "Conquest" only get 30 RMB. However, the crew of "Jinfen Family" has money, and all the extras are young and upright, and they can get 80 RMB a day!
However, the group leader and the casting director still had to go through plucking and peeling off the layers of skin, and they were only in their early 50s.
"Why are you here!" Zhang Yuan was a little happy to meet an acquaintance.
But Zhao Jin looked very reserved and different from his usual look in the rental house.
"I came here because I saw the job offered a lot. I didn't expect to meet you."
Zhang Yuan had told him before that he would participate in the TV series starring Chen Kun. This kid is so envious.
Because he knows that a film with Chen Kun must have a big crew.
However, he thought that Zhang Yuan should be just a small character, a supporting role in the fifth level.
But now, at a glance, Zhang Yuan and Chen Kun are side by side, and their relationship is obviously unusual. Is this the kind of treatment a supporting actor can get?
Moreover, Chen Kun, Qiao Zhenyu, and Dong Jie were asking Zhang Yuan for advice. The three of them surrounded him, followed by Shu Chang who was following suit.
Although Zhao Jin couldn't believe it, in this position, he felt that Zhang Yuan seemed to be the leader of this group of stars.
So he was timid, he was afraid, even the voice he called Zhang Yuan revealed his lack of confidence, for fear that the other party would ignore him at all.
After all, this kind of thing is too common in the entertainment industry, and many people will completely cut off their poor old friends after becoming successful.
When Zhang Yuan greeted him with his usual attitude, Zhao Jin was even a little touched.
"Is this your friend?" Chen Kun raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Roommate."
"Hello." After Chen Kun and Qiao Zhenyu found out, they both said hello to Zhao Jin and extended their hands to shake. Dong Jie and Shu Chang were women. It was inconvenient to shake hands, so I nodded.
Zhao Jin swallowed excitedly.
The big star said hello to me! ! !
Shake hands!
Zhao Jin has already made up his mind not to wash his hands this week.
Looking up close, Dong Jie looks so innocent.
Shu Chang turns out to be so beautiful. She is much thinner in real life than on TV.
Zhao Jin was so excited that he could not speak. Zhang Yuan laughed, looking at his potential.
"Zhang Yuan, Director Li is looking for you!" At this time, the assistant director shouted, and Zhang Yuan waved in reply.
"I have to leave first, you have fun on the set."
Zhang Yuan turned and left, and all the extras on the side moved to Zhao Jin's side.
"Is that your friend?"
"Damn it, you know celebrities!"
"Brother, take me with you."
Everyone carried the sedan chair, Zhao Jin's originally slightly hunched back straightened up under the praise of everyone.
"Do you know Zhang Yuan?" At this moment, the group leader who brought Zhao into the crew also came to him and asked.
"We live together."
"Oh..." Who is the leader of the group, which door the entire crew goes out and which door they enter, who is the relative of whom, who is the friend of whom, all of them have high eyebrows and low eyes. , everything is clear, and they are all good people. After learning that Zhao Jin and Zhang Yuan were friends, he hurriedly gave him a smile: "You won't get paid for today's film, please leave me a phone number."
The treatment was different immediately. , making the other extras around him envious.
At this time, Zhao Jin looked at Zhang Yuan's back and felt that he was much taller...
Zhang Yuan didn't know what happened next. His roommate even added an extra chicken drumstick to his lunch box, which was very satisfying.
In the afternoon, the crew continued filming.
The scene at this moment is when Liu Chunjiang, played by Zhang Yuan, meets the eldest lady of another wealthy family, the Lin family, for the first time.
Thus, a love triangle that echoes the protagonists of the film is about to unfold.
The two families were sitting in the high hall, with Miss Lin accompanying them. Zhang Yuan stepped into the house in a few steps.
His mother introduced Mrs. and Miss Lin to him, and Zhang Yuanshen bowed with a humble and prudent attitude, quite like a descendant of a big family.
"Whatever you act like." Director Li Dawei muttered in front of the monitor.
This scene is actually a very common big family blind date, preparing for the subsequent marriage.
The person named Huang who plays the role of Miss Lin, because the scene started very late, did not follow the whole set like Zhang Yuan and others, but only came yesterday.
Zhang Yuan glanced at the other party. This person was not the same person as the Miss Lin in his impression. It seemed that his arrival had caused some unexpected changes.
It was the other party's turn to start performing. As soon as the lines were spoken, Zhang Yuan frowned.
This guy was stunned and didn’t memorize the words at all.
According to convention, if there is a rival scene tomorrow, professional actors will get to know each other at least one day in advance, check their lines, and even proofread their positions.
But Zhang Yuan had never met this person before the filming of this scene started.
However, according to the settings in the play, this Miss Lin is arrogant and willful, with a strong personality common to young ladies. She corresponds to Bai Xiuzhu, played by Liu Qianqian, and has a similar personality.
Although the lines are not good, in terms of character, this Miss Huang behaves like a duck in water.
Zhang Yuan was very suspicious that she was acting in her true colors.
This scene was reshot six times, and various situations occurred frequently, all caused by this "newcomer" on the crew.
After finishing the work, Zhang Yuan came to Li Dawei with a helpless face, and the other party also smiled bitterly and shook his head.
“A woman who is an investor, I understand.”
No wonder...Zhang Yuan was relieved.
It is true that the crew of "Golden Pink Family" has rich people, but no one thinks that there is a lot of money, not to mention that the crew does have huge expenses.
It is understandable to compromise appropriately with money.
At the end of the day's work, all the actors and staff walked outside the venue, and the crowd was noisy for a while.
Zhang Yuan also left with the other protagonists, but as soon as he reached the gate, he heard a cry of pain from behind!
"Oops!"
A few people turned around and saw Shu Chang falling to the ground. A large piece of skin fell off on his knees and elbows due to contact with the ground.
The concrete floor here is rough, just like sandpaper. The little girl was white and tender, and the blood started to fall down.
Zhang Yuan reacted the fastest and rushed forward to help people.
"It hurts..." The other person cried out in pain when he moved. Zhang Yuan simply held the other person in his arms with a princess hug, and then carefully placed Shu Chang on the bench beside him.
Medical staff arrived soon after. Following Liu Qianqian's fainting incident, the crew upgraded the medical team and responded quickly.
Disinfect, stop the bleeding, and apply gauze. Fortunately, my face was not hurt, but from now on I can only wear long sleeves and long skirts to act.
Shu Chang is usually very well-behaved and has good acting skills. Everyone on the set treats her as a little sister. As soon as this incident came out, dozens of people gathered around the scene, and they all looked at her worriedly.
"I'm fine, I can go back on my own." After the bandage was finished, seeing Zhang Yuan coming to help her again, remembering what happened when she was hugged by the princess just now, Shu Chang hurriedly refused with a blush.
After saying that, Shu Chang glanced at the crowd of onlookers unnaturally, with some timidity and resentment in his eyes.
This look was caught by Zhang Yuan.
Following her gaze, Zhang Yuan found that Miss Huang, who had played against him before, had a contemptuous smile on her face at the moment...
