Chapter 170
Xiao Chen's extras diary (from a fan's perspective, buy with caution if you mind)
Xiao Chen is a fan of Ling Sui, and he got into it when "Game is Online" was broadcast. Counting the time, she has liked Ling Suisui for a year.
Dang Sui Si was very happy, but unfortunately she had too many rivals in love and too few opportunities to meet Ling Sui in person.
Last year, Xiao Chen failed to win a spot in several offline brand events, nor did he get tickets for the New Year’s Eve concert.
As for the fan meeting held when the game was completed, the circle generally assumes that it is out of print. With Ling Sui's influence today, he will definitely not hold such an event again. Everyone understands that what should we do if there are too many people on site and we can’t control it?
But Xiao Chen is still a little happier than other young people. She has some connections with relatives and friends, and successfully got the opportunity to be an extra in the crew of "Perfect Life".
So, she can see Ling Suisui with her own eyes!
——Fantasy is beautiful, but reality is cruel.
When Xiao Chen arrived at the crew, he was first checked for his attire and hairstyle for the day, and then his cell phone was taken away. She and other extras arrived very early. When they gathered, the crew was still setting up the set and there were no actors to be seen.
Today's filming location is in an amusement park. Not only did the crew not spend a penny on the venue fee, but the theme park spent a lot of money on product placement. Xiao Chen originally wanted to walk around, but the group leader disagreed and just asked her to stay where she was, in case she was left alone when she was needed to film.
Well, bored Xiao Chen went to get a plastic chair and sat down, and found that there was a sister sitting on a folding chair.
"Yours was given by the crew, I brought mine myself."
The female extra explained to her: "I am very familiar with the group leader and often act as an extra in this area. Other crews will not provide chairs, but Perfect Life is an exception."
Xiao Chen didn't understand: "If there are no chairs, where will everyone sit?"
"Just find a place. If there are chairs, sit there. If there are no chairs, stand or squat, or find a piece of paper to cushion your sitting position."
Seeing that Xiao Chen's eyes were full of curiosity, the equally bored female extras decided to share some gossip with her.
"Let me tell you, the plastic chairs for this crew were all bought at the request of Ling Suisui. She is a very nice person and often treats guests to meals on the crew. She is usually very polite to us, unlike other crews I have been in before, where some people are really...tsk tsk."
"Do you know that so-and-so? He likes to play tricks on the crew, and he needs five or six stand-ins to shoot a scene! Usually he just lies on a rocking chair by himself, and someone needs to hold an umbrella for him, and he also needs someone to help him read the script..."
Hearing others praising Ling Suisui, Xiao Chen couldn't help but straighten his chest and feel proud. Of course, our Suisui is the best!
Later, when she heard gossip about other artists, Xiao Chen pricked up her ears again, hoping that they would talk more, as she loved to hear this.
Xiao Chen chatted with other extras at the assembly point for half an hour. She first heard someone exclaiming excitedly. She followed the direction of the other person's sight and saw several RVs.
She immediately put the melon aside and stood on tiptoe to look into the distance. Unfortunately, she only saw an oversized black umbrella, which was specially used by the artist's assistant to prevent the makeup from being leaked.
Xiao Chen was a little disappointed. She also wanted to squeeze to other places, but in the end she listened to the leader of the group and stayed where she was.
She wants to be a high-quality fan and she can't cause trouble for Sui Sui even if she comes as an extra. She assured her connections that she would obey orders and do whatever she was told when she arrived at the scene, and only then did they agree to let her in.
The daily routine of extras is to wait. It was only after Xiao Chen joined the crew that she realized that being an extra might not necessarily allow them to meet the leading actor, and they might not even have a chance to film - they might be on standby for the whole day and the director might not even need them.
Of course, regardless of whether there is filming or not, the salary will still be paid. But Xiao Chen didn’t care about the one hundred and twenty yuan, she just wanted to take a look at Ling Suisui!
To achieve this goal, you must first film the scene, and film it next to the protagonist.
Because we are going to shoot exterior scenes of the theme park today, we need a large number of extras, so the first step has been achieved. Xiao Chen was mixed in with the extras, and when he saw the leader calling for people, he quickly stepped forward and looked at him expectantly.
"…Including you, there are ten of us in total. Follow me."
Although the group leader didn't say what it was, Xiao Chen had a hunch that something good was going to happen. Luck was on her side, and she was arranged to ride the carousel, and was very close to one of the empty seats! Just look up and you can see it!
Xiao Chen's heart was filled with joy. Just as she was imagining how happy she would be, a boy sat diagonally in front of her.
——A boy, about the same height as the male lead of this drama, Chen Yuening, so he must be his stand-in.
Look at the other girl’s seat, it is completely blocked by the other person, damn!
Xiao Chen: ...
Xiao Chen's smile gradually disappeared. This was so unlucky!
However, she still saw the scene when Ling Suisui walked over. Although her face was always covered by the black umbrella, after the assistant put away the umbrella, her profile still made Xiao Chen want to scream.
How can it be so beautiful! It is said that there are several fans in the 20-year-old circle who are great, and Xiao Chen also likes their output very much, but no matter how good the photos are, they will pale in comparison to Ling Sui's real beauty.
Her face is so small, so three-dimensional, so white, and so fragrant... Although limited by the distance, the fragrance only exists in Xiao Chen's imagination, but it does not prevent her from having an auntie smile on her face and her eyes full of doting.
Wow, why is my baby so beautiful? Is she touching her hair? It’s clearly my heartstrings!
Xiao Chen couldn't help but stretching his neck, wanting to take a few more glances at Ling Suisui. At this time, the assistant director shouted loudly, "Sit down over there."
She lowered her head guiltily, thinking that the other party was scolding her. Xiao Chen was particularly afraid of being caught, so at the same time, seven or eight extras all retracted their heads...
Wow, it turns out everyone is watching Ling Suisui! Rounding off means the same burden!
Xiao Chen breathed a sigh of relief. She said, Sui Sui is sitting over there, who can resist not looking at her? She can't anyway.
When domestic entertainment stars were considered "dedicated" for using their original voices, "Perfect Life" had already rolled out synchronized sound. However, considering today's recording situation, I guess we'll just have to ask the leading actor to do the sound supplement later.
Despite this, Ling Suisui and Chen Yuening still recited their lines fluently. Although Xiao Chen couldn't hear their voices due to the interference of the carousel BGM, she could see the situation on the scene.
They kept spinning on the merry-go-round, and the interval between the director's shouting "start" and "stop" was very long, which was enough to prove that the scene was filmed smoothly. Xiao Chen only rode the carousel three times before reluctantly watching Ling Suisui leave.
I heard from other extras that this speed was considered very fast. They even had to reshoot it halfway due to problems with the on-site camera scheduling, which means that Ling Suisui passed it in just two takes.
Good and fast, worthy of Sui Sui! Master of domestic entertainment efficiency!
After that, Xiao Chen will have no more movies to shoot for a while. She was taken back to the assembly area and returned to her plastic chair to rest.
The sun in April was still a little hot, so Xiao Chen followed the extras to move to a cooler area and heard someone calling them over to get some milk tea.
"Teacher Ling is treating us again today." The assistant coordinator held up the loudspeaker and said, "All the staff and teachers have worked hard. Teacher Ling will treat everyone to milk tea! Everyone will have one!"
In fact, there is not only milk tea, but also floral water and mosquito repellent patches. After all, an amusement park is an outdoor place, so mosquito bites are inevitable.
Xiao Chen received a thoughtful subsidy from Ling Sui, and she could taste the sweetness of full-sugar milk tea with 50% sugar. Although she doesn’t have a mobile phone to take pictures now, when she goes back, she will definitely write a diary on social media to tell the world how good Suibao is!
No wonder you always see “melon masters” saying that Ling Suisui has a very, very good reputation in the industry. There is no staff who has worked with her who doesn’t like her. Who doesn’t love such a considerate artist?
The cost of milk tea and mosquito repellent patches is not worth mentioning compared to the income of celebrities in the entertainment industry, but not everyone has this kind of thought.
Little Chen was drinking her milk tea happily. When he heard someone praising Ling Suisui, his tail almost reached the sky. She really wanted to tell the world, yes, such a good child is mine.
Xiao Chen's next extra job was to walk around the amusement park. She walked from morning to afternoon, and just when she thought that was it for the day, the group leader asked her to ride the roller coaster.
This is another opportunity to get up close and personal with the leading actors! Xiao Chen was very excited, but she pretended to be calm, for fear that the group leader would find out that she was a fan and replace her directly.
She walked behind without competing or fighting, and the few girls in the front who were very active were arranged by the group leader to be the farthest away from the GoPro. When it was Xiao Chen's turn, the leader of the group looked at her and asked her to sit in the fourth row.
This is certainly a very good position - the third row is empty, reserved for Ling Suisui and Chen Yuening!
The corners of Xiao Chen's mouth curled up wildly, and she finally sat in the place closest to Ling Suisui, with the back of Suibao's head in front of her!
She suppressed her excitement and waited patiently for the assistant director to arrange the camera positions, and then the actors arrived.
Ever since Ling Suisui appeared, Xiao Chen couldn't take his eyes off her. She stared at Ling Suisui as he walked over, sat down, and fastened his seat belt. At such a close distance, she could indeed smell the fragrance on him.
Xiao Chen's mouth was almost stretched to his ears. She tried hard to resist the urge to call her name and just sat quietly in the back watching her.
Wow, Suibao's hands holding the script are so pretty, and her voice when reading the lines is so nice...
Although Ling Suisui was acting with Chen Yuening, Chen only had Ling Suisui in his eyes and automatically blocked out all irrelevant people.
Until she heard the director and Chen Yuening say: "Before the roller coaster departs, you have to kiss her--"
ah? ah? ah?
Xiao Chen's eyes were as big as bells, and she just watched as Chen Yuening's lips touched Ling Sui's cheek.
Xiao Chen: ...
Damn it, Mr. Chen, stay away from Ling Suisui!
The author has something to say:
Xiao Chen: We both have the last name Chen, why can he do it but I can’t (sad) (collapse) (rolling on the ground)
