Director’s Legend

As an extra actor wandering in Hengdian, Shao Shuaijun has experienced more than half a year and got to know a lot of Hengpiao. After renting two high-definition DV cameras from a photographic equipment rental shop, Shao Shuaijun went to the other end of the village head and found Liu Sanxi. Liu Sanxi is a group leader, and the group leader is the leader of the extras.

With dreams in mind, many people plunged into Hengdian, hoping to be selected by a major director, and soaring into the sky. I didn't know until Hengdian that things were different from what I had imagined. The extras here are strictly hierarchical, and they are not allowed to fly into the sky. The director needs actors and will find them through the group head, and the group head will release to the group performer under his hand.

There are also four levels of group performances, ordinary extras are 50 yuan a day, special actors are 80 yuan a day, special actors are 150 yuan a day, and peripheral martial arts are 200 yuan a day. Shao Shuaijun is currently the lowest-level extra actor, and his previous acting career has always been a special actor, and then switched to field duties.

Liu Sanxi happened to be at home, and when he saw Shao Shuaijun, he yelled: "Where is your boy dead these days? Several crews are looking for group performances. I don't have enough staff. Why don't you come and don't want to make money?" He is Hengdian. The locals received a demolition fee after building the film and television city. They stopped farming, and his wife opened a small shop. He led people to perform in a group. He belonged to a group and gathered dozens of group performances under his hands.

"Brother Xi, I have changed career." Shao Shuaijun smiled. He still respects Liu Sanxi. The group leader is not a pleasing identity, especially many group leaders like to deduct the group performance's salary, and even beat and scold the group performance at every turn, ruining a lot of dreams. Although Liu Sanxi also likes to take advantage of the small gains, but his opponents are still kind, like when Shao Shuaijun first came, he didn't know anyone and couldn't find a job. Liu Sanxi took in.

"What can you do?"

"I'm going to be a director, I will ask you to borrow some actors to audition today!"

"Your kid didn't take the wrong medicine, right? You have a fever? You are a director. Unless Brother Xi and I start a film company, the old ghost will invest in you."

"Don't blow it up, I really plan to be a director. You don't know. Recently I wrote a script and was caught by Director Zhang Yimou. I bought it for a hundred thousand dollars. With money, of course I have to make a movie myself."

"Really... OK, you kid, Director Zhang has taken a look at the script you wrote, oh hello, OK. But you are sure that you can't afford the film for a hundred omnipotent movies?" Liu Sanxi With a cigarette in his mouth, he was dubious.

"Don't worry about it. I don't need film for DV, so I quickly inform Anan, Sishui, Zebra... to come and audition. My film is very simple, I can finish it in one week, and I will pay 5,000 yuan for the film! The audition, regardless of whether it is successful or not, can get a 100 yuan subsidy." Shao Shuaijun waved his hand, feeling that he is a director, his confidence is different.

"If you are not afraid to pay, I'll call someone to you." Liu Sanxi suddenly rubbed his palms, "But what, what kind of actor do you look for in this movie? See if Brother Xi is qualified enough, Brother Xi I have been mixed for more than three years anyhow, and my acting skills have nothing to say..."

I heard that there was a one-hundred-yuan subsidy, and it was still the protagonist of the audition movie. Anan and the others didn't care about the truth or not, and ran over after receiving a call from Liu Sanxi. Counting Liu Sanxi, a total of seven people squeezed into Shao Shuaijun's rental house. These people are all Shao Shuaijun's group performances based on his own impression of later generations.

The star can't afford it, so I can only make up the number with group performance.

"Ten minutes for you. Imagine you are in a coffin. You can't see your fingers and no one responds. The space is narrow and breathing is difficult. What kind of reaction should you have in this situation." After the request, Shao Shuaijun began to play around. Rented video camera. The film's director, screenwriter, lighting engineer, photographer, prop artist, and electrician will all be concurrently assumed by him. Others only need to ask a makeup artist to make up the protagonist.

The first audition was Anan. The camera was aimed, and Anan's body immediately stiffened, breathing quickly, and covering his neck with his hands with his mouth open...

"Ka! Anan, you have to know that although you are locked in a coffin, no one throws gas bombs in it, OK...Next one!"

The second audition was Sishui. Sishui learned from Anan, staring pretendingly, as if he was very scared, and opened his mouth to shout a few times.

"Ka! Although you are very scared, please be more dedicated. I am not acting in a stage play in a movie here. Can my expression be a little bit convergent? Are you seeing a ghost or being caught in an evil? Next! "

Six people in a row did not perform well in front of the camera, and only Liu Sanxi was left.

"Brother Hi, try to behave naturally, it's up to you to be the last one."

"Can you wait, I'm a little nervous, oh hey, forget it, brother Xi, I can't perform." Liu Sanxi was directly discouraged under Shao Shuaijun's professional aura.

Shao Shuaijun grabbed his hair in distress and took out seven hundred yuan to send away the unfavorable group performance. In his memory, Anan were all later well-known supporting roles. Their acting skills were nothing to say, and they appeared in many movies and TV series. But now it seems that they are still too young to show the atmosphere that attracts people to watch.

This is a one-man show, without the atmosphere, it will fall into dullness.

"What should I do? I only have 150,000. I cut the cost. What kind of actors can I hire for 100,000 yuan? The status of mainland actors has always been high, their acting skills are not good, and the pay is outrageous! Hong Kong has a lot of low pay for acting. Okay, but I can't go to Hong Kong to find an actor, right?"

Dreams are full, reality is skinny.

Shao Shuaijun suddenly agreed with this statement. It is 2004, not the future. You can use investors' money to cast a net to pick stars.

Looking at the bitter face in the mirror, Shao Shuaijun shook his head in annoyance. At the moment when he shook his head, a flash of inspiration, Shao Shuaijun felt that his face, although the expression on his face, was green, but his eyes revealed a sense of trepidation, and it actually matched the memory of the Green Lantern (Ryan Reynolds later played the Green Lantern Xia's expression is very consistent.

"Yeah, others can't do it, I can do it myself! I have seen the original movie, and I have been honed on the set over the years, and my acting skills are not bad. With a little makeup and these eyes, I may be able to grasp the charm! "

Just do it when he thinks of it, Shao Shuaijun turned on the camera, came to the camera, and took a deep breath. He began to imagine that he was the kidnapped driver. In the deep and narrow coffin, despair and fear were added. The original lens appeared in my mind, superimposed with my previous life experience of ups and downs in the entertainment industry, my body began to tremble slowly...

Ten minutes later, Shao Shuaijun walked out of the immersive atmosphere and called up the camera picture. On the screen, Shao Shuaijun beats in fear, trying to find a way out, but can't find a way out at all. He can only groped in the narrow coffin. The expression on his face is helpless, frightened, excited, and aggrieved.

"This is the effect!"

Shao Shuaijun clenched his fist secretly. "Buried Alive" itself is about a lonely social relationship, which is essentially similar to Shao Shuaijun's previous life experience. He easily grasped this feeling, and the atmosphere was quite good.

"Well, I'm the lead actor. Well, this face is still too immature. I have to find a better makeup artist..."
