Chapter 15 A Day's Play

The next day, before the sky was completely bright, Fang Nan tossed and got up.

Without the patting next door in the middle of the night, he found that he did not sleep well at night. He hardly fell asleep that night, and it was dawn after a while.

"You are such a bitch!"

Realizing that Zeng Li had accidentally changed his sleeping habits, Fang Nan scolded himself angrily.

After all, Zeng Li had only lived next door for more than 20 days.

After getting dressed and getting out of bed, washing, long-distance running, and breakfast, Fang Nan took the BB machine and went straight to the film and television city.

Strolling in the courtyard to the film and television city, the sun is already high, emitting steam, and there are a lot of extras waiting for the crew to come out to pull people around, adding a layer of heat!

"A'nan, are you finished filming your costume drama?"

When Fang Nan smoked behind the crowd, someone shouted.

Glancing at the person shouting, he seemed to remember that this was the leader of the group, called Lai Laozhang, but he didn't have a deep impression, so Fang Nan responded with a "hmm".

"Are you here to wait for the play today?" Lai Zhang asked again.

"Yes." Fang Nan said indifferently.

Lai Laozhang came to Fang Nan with a smile: "Are you coming to my place? I have a future role here."

As soon as Lai Zhang said this, many young people who had traveled thousands of miles to enter the entertainment industry couldn't help pricking up their ears and eyes glowing green.

Mixing in Hengdian, who knows that the foreground actor represents the meaning of being photogenic.

And most of the time they go abroad with big stars.

If you are lucky enough to get a few lines, you may be able to be discovered by the discerning director and the inner beauty by the audience.

Since then, making money from filming has been out of control, and then climbed to the top to marry Bai Fumei.

While everyone was whispering, Fang Nan was also quite surprised, he didn't know when he became a favorite, which attracted the group leaders to solicit them with foreground scenes.

It's a good thing to be recruited, but he agreed to Wu Gao after all, so he refused without thinking too much.

"Forget it, Wu Gao asked me to come here today, I'll go to your place again when I have a chance."

When Fang Nan said that, Lai Zhang had no choice but to turn around and leave, and had a face-to-face meeting with Wu Gaozhi who happened to come over.

The two looked at each other, and there was a hidden spark in each other's eyes.

Where there are interests, there are fights, and the Hengdian group leaders are also fiercely competing for each other. A male swarm performer who has experience in field operations, kung fu, and has competed with Wu Jing, every group leader will take a high look.

Not to mention a group performer with skills like Fang Nan.

Even the tall and beautiful female extras and the tall and mighty male extras are the targets of their competition.

This phenomenon will not be much better until the establishment of the Hengdian Actors Union in 2003.

Watching Lai Zhang leave with great momentum, Wu Gao said to Fang Nan who got up: "Brother Nan, let's go, the car for the crew to pick up the extras is parked outside."

Getting into the pickup truck where the crew took the extras, several extras who had been with the crew of "Miao Cuihua" greeted Fang Nan one after another.

Fang Nan also took advantage of the opportunity to inquire about the scene this time.

Yesterday Wu Gao only told him about beating little devils on the streets of Guangzhou, but it is not clear what kind of play it was.

The group of performers talked about it, and Fang Nan knew that he was about to participate in a drama of the Republic of China. It was about Huo Yuanjia, and the protagonist Huo Yuanjia was played by action star Zhao Wenzhuo.

After a while on Guangzhou Street, the field manager urged a group of people to get out of the car and change their clothes. When the back door of the van was opened, Fang Nan couldn't help but panic. It was full of Qing Dynasty military uniforms. This is not beating up little devils, this is another braid show .

"Almost, almost, anyway, just one day." Wu Gao smiled at Fang Nan shyly while holding the phone.

"Forget it this time, frame me next time, believe it or not, and dislocate your shoulder again?"

Thinking of Fang Nan's manipulation, Wu Gao suddenly felt his scalp tingle, and said repeatedly with lingering fear: "Brother Nan, I promise there will be no next time, there will be no next time."

Fang Nan didn't bother to talk to him any more, so he changed into a costume that smelled of stinky feet, and then went to put on the hood.

The weather was fine and clear, but it was more than 30 degrees. The moment Fang Nan put on the hood, he felt like there was a small stove on his head, and he was sweating continuously.

After finishing the preparations and taking a break, Fang Nan saw Master Zhao in a white Chinese tunic suit and a crew cut.

When the leading actor enters the stage, the break time for their group of extras will come to an end. There is no such thing as actors waiting for extras.

The martial arts director spent an hour lecturing on the play, and then began to test shoot. After the word "action", a group of extras walked straight to Master Zhao according to the actions designed by the director.

All of a sudden, the sound of "ha, ha" sounded one after another at the Sanchakou of Guangzhou Street. Fang Nan, who played the role of a soldier, was immediately kicked by Master Zhao in the air, rolled three times, and hit a small vendor.

"Damn it, why haven't you stopped your feet yet?" Fang Nan lay on the ground and cursed with a bad face.

He is an old martial artist, and it is commonplace for actors to confiscate their strength.

Veteran actors and action actors are okay. They have rich experience in filming. As long as they are not in a hurry, they will subconsciously restrain their strength and rarely make mistakes.

He is most afraid of new actors and actresses.

This type of actor has no acting experience, and is afraid of being scolded by the director if the filming is not good. He often makes messy moves, which catches people off guard. He has suffered a lot of injuries for this.

“Cut”

After the test shoot was over, Master Zhao apologized again and again and pulled Fang Nan up from the ground. After Fang Nan repeatedly said that he was not injured, Master Zhao still asked the photographer Fu to take a group photo of the two of them.

During the group photo, Fang Nan smiled a little forcedly, he didn't want to do this.

I've seen too many big stars, and I've already become numb. It's okay to deceive small fans with group photos, but I don't have any feelings for him.

After two trial shoots, the actual shoot was over in just one shot, and the efficiency was extremely high. The performers breathed a sigh of relief, thinking they could rest and wait for dinner.

The assistant director who brought them here didn't think so, and yelled at the crowd to make a transition to the Qingming Riverside Scene, and there was still a fight scene waiting there.

"Damn it, this crap crew treats us like livestock!"

"It's like this in every crew."

On the pickup truck, there were group actors who were full of indignation and cursed.

Fang Nan didn't participate in this kind of topic, and wiped off the sweat stains on his forehead and took a puff of cigarette.

Sex, mouth, and animals are all chosen by oneself, and no one forces them.

If he knew that the production team was so complete, he would definitely not come, but since he came in, he had to persevere, and a person had to start and finish.

It's about ten miles from Guangzhou Street to Qingming Shanghetu, and the curses from the crowd soon arrived.

He got out of the car slowly, and the director's sentence of "rehearsal once before eating" was repeated by the group performers from the top to bottom of the eight generations of his ancestors.

[Beheading at Caishikou, Robbing the Falun Gong] The scene does not need to change costumes. Because of Fang Nan's height of 1 meters, the assistant director arranges him in front of the stage of the doomsday.

This place is not very good. As soon as the director starts, he has to fight with the group actors who play the role of ordinary people, and the smell of sweat is stinking.

Fang Nan knew this, but he couldn't change it. He could only discuss it with the group of performers in front of him, and act casually, don't take it too seriously.
