Zhang Xiao's salary was negotiated to 18 million.

This is the second male lead.

If it was a male lead, it would be higher.

Lu Hao gave it very generously, and it was worth the price.

The crew's preparations went smoothly, and all the preliminary work was completed in less than a week.

Less than a month after the release of "Overlord", "I Am No. 1" officially started filming.

The date is December 2nd.

This day was specially chosen by Lu Hao. It was his birthday in his previous life and was very meaningful.

May the incense of the start of the project be able to pass through the barriers of time and space, and celebrate with the self on the “other side” from afar.

Lu Hao felt that his idea was both absurd and romantic.

…

"Brother Zhang, have you ever been a supporting actor?"

Today's scene is a group play, with only a few scenes. Lu Hao just arrived in Hengdian, and Huangmao, as an old driver, took him to the group leader to rehearse the play.

In the car on the way to the set, Lu Hao asked Zhang Xiao with a smile.

"I haven't really. You know, I've always been pretty smooth sailing."

Zhang Xiao spoke very frankly, paused, and continued, "I didn't sleep all night last night thinking about this scene. My eyes are red and my hair is greasy, so I just washed my face... Oh, and my hands too. I think they're too white. I'll have the makeup artist fix them for me later."

He is really dedicated.

Lu Hao gave a thumbs-up and jokingly said, "You can watch more later. When it comes to extras, even an award-winning actor like you might need to learn from the extras."

Zhang Xiao was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Strictly speaking, he is a master of experientialism.

But today's experience is indeed different from the past, and it's a bit difficult to explain.

——The best actor learns how to be an extra in order to play an extra and the real extras learn how to be an extra.

…

Arrived on the set.

The extras on the scene were already in place.

Although facing the camera, he did not feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, he felt inexplicably excited and found it very interesting.

For them, this is not filming, this is their daily life.

Seeing Lu Hao and Zhang Xiao get out of the car, everyone craned their necks to look over here.

A great director and a thirty-year-old movie star, what a big shot they are.

Although there are so many actors and stars in Hengdian and I have seen many of them before, the key is today's play, it is interesting.

Talk about the play and put on makeup.

The stage management cleared the stage.

Lights and camera are in place.

"I Am Nobody, Scene 8, Act 1, 3! 2! 1!"

Boom boom boom boom!

A tattered minibus came from the end of the street. Seeing the bus coming, the leader of the group wearing a hat at the intersection waved his hand, and a group of extras immediately surrounded it.

"Come on, come on, stand still!"

"Cao Tian!"

"arrive!"

"He Shifeng!"

"arrive!"

The performance had been reported before, and the group leader called out names one by one. Those whose names were called got on the bus with joy, while the others stretched their necks with eagerness in their eyes.

"Brother, I haven't had any work for three days. Please sign me up for a job."

A supporting actor shouted, and unconsciously moved forward, holding his hands high.

"Brother Qiang, I want one too."

"Brother, I can't afford to eat, give me a chance!"

The crowd swarmed in, like office workers rushing to catch the bus in the morning, carefully but trying their best to squeeze onto the minibus.

Those who got on were jubilant, while those who didn't were heartbroken.

"Get the hell down here! Did I let you get up there? Do I not recognize you just because you're wearing a hat?"

The leader of the group grabbed the hair of the person who was pushing the hardest, pulled it out, and pushed him out.

"I'm going to ban you if I say so. Get lost! Don't let me see you again!"

The man's lips were trembling, his fists were clenched, and the veins on his forehead were bulging, but he forced himself to hold it in, turned around and headed into a small alley.

The camera swept across.

Cut to Lu Hao and Zhang Xiao in the corner of the crowd.

"Brother, what's wrong with that guy?"

Lu Hao looked confused and bewildered.

We are all just extras, why bully others?

Zhang Xiao curled his lips in an impatient tone.

"Mind your own fucking business!"

"Come, I'm going to teach you the first rule of hanging around in a Hengdian. Treat the leader like your real dad. If he takes out a cigarette, go up and light it. If he's eating, stay away. If you happen to run into him, take the initiative to pay for him. Do you understand?"

Zhang Xiao finished the line in one breath, slapped Lu Hao on the head, grabbed his arm and squeezed into the crowd.

"Brother Qiang, this is a brother from my hometown, please take care of him..."

As he spoke, he handed over a cigarette and the lighter in his left hand was ready.

Before the actor who played the group leader could respond, Lu Hao spoke first.

——“Crack!”

The show stopped.

Zhang Xiao raised his hands awkwardly in the air and smiled sheepishly.

"Oh my, I was a little nervous and distracted..."

He knew what was going on.

It was indeed because my mind was relaxed just now and my state was not right.

Mainly because he was a little confused when he saw this scene.

The bottom of the pile for actors.

The images touch the soul.

"It's okay, come, take a break..."

Lu Hao called for a timeout, and the staff nearby quickly handed over two bottles of water.

The atmosphere was inexplicably strange.

The weirdness lies in the dislocation of identity.

Many people know the movie star Zhang Xiao.

He is a very great actor who has played so many classic roles. However, now he is just playing a supporting role and has been cut.

A group of real extras watched this scene, not daring to say a word or laugh.

Mocking the movie emperor?
