Chapter 1: Transmigrating into a Book
The filming site of the TV series Fenghua.
"Cut! OK, everyone take a break, the makeup teacher is here to touch up the actors' makeup."
"Stage attendant! Stage attendant! Bring two more apple boxes!"
Yu Wen stood up subconsciously when he heard someone calling for the stage attendant.
After standing for three seconds, he realized that he was no longer a stage attendant, but an extra, and sat down quickly.
However, after only half a month of working as a stage attendant, these two words were engraved into his DNA, and he still had an instinctive reaction when he heard them. Yu Wen looked at the busy stage attendants coming and going, and couldn't help but sigh.
No, this DNA is dirty.
About half a month ago, Yu Wen came to this book from the real world. The last thing he saw before he closed his eyes was the warm-toned ceiling of his home. When he opened his eyes again, it turned into a shabby little rental house. He spent some time to figure out the situation, and then suspected that he was kidnapped.
The kidnapper was the crappy book "Rise! Movie King"!
The first thing he did when he woke up was to walk around outside and found that this place was very different from the world he had lived in. The technology tree was about fifty years behind his world, and the place names, cities, and even the national structure were completely unfamiliar.
Until he saw a slightly familiar name on a roadside billboard.
——Chu Han.
This name seemed to be the protagonist of a popular novel he had accidentally read in the magazine reading room of the library.
The rental house where he woke up was shabby, but there was a brand-new desktop computer on the desk. It was the most advanced configuration on the market and had excellent performance. In order to find out the current situation, Yu Wen made a table of all Chu Han's acting experience on the Internet and compared it with the plot in his memory.
They all matched.
After confirming that he had crossed into a book, Yu Wen searched through the private space in the computer, including browsing history, in an attempt to confirm his identity. Unfortunately, he did not get any useful information from it, because the computer was almost brand new and the private area was completely blank.
Yu Wen decided to remain unchanged in the face of all changes. He sat on the bed and blinked for seventeen minutes, until his eyelids twitched.
No one came to save him.
#Didn't they say that if you are kidnapped, you should blink?#
Realizing that idealism is not feasible, Yu Wen accepted his fate.
The next day after he lay down, his phone received a new message, informing him to prepare to join the crew.
-He
was still called Yu Wen, and the body was his body.
With his excellent memory, he recalled the general plot of "Rise! Movie King" and bound it into a book.
The full text of the recalled content was 50,000 words, thin, and it was hard to feel at ease.
He repeatedly outlined every detail from beginning to end in his mind, and did not find a supporting role or villain or cannon fodder or so on named Yu Wen...
Until he witnessed the love tug-of-war between the protagonist and the protagonist six times in the half month of joining the crew; accidentally participated in other people's gossip four times; saw the extras and the script supervisor flirting on the way to deliver water three times...
Yu Wen suddenly realized.
-I am just a passerby.
"Passersby" are a magical group. They can always "crash", "analyze" and "encounter" various famous scenes just right...
and Yu Wen's identity is this group.
-
After working as a stagehand for half a month, Yu Wen found out some rules and successfully switched from the stagehand position to an easier extra.
Although all kinds of gossip always find him, his personal life is not restricted. For example, he is now a stagehand, so he will wander in the melon circle as a stagehand, but he can also be an extra, an actor, or a singer... Yu Wen
: Pick the easiest one, and fish for a long time.
"Feng Hua" is a fictional ancient puppet drama, which mainly tells the story of the heroine Sun Daiyu who maneuvers between countries for revenge during the period of hegemony among the heroes, and finally overthrows the dynasty and travels far away to live in seclusion with the hero.
And "Rise! The protagonist Chu Han in "The Movie Emperor" plays a crazy and perverted villain in the play, and the perspective of passers-by basically revolves around him.
"Xiao Yu, it's not your turn yet?"
The person who spoke was Zou Ming, a martial arts extra in the crew. He had just finished a scene, his forehead was full of sweat, and he walked over with a bottle of mineral water.
Yu Wen sat in the corner, changed into the coarse linen clothes of extras, and put a small hat on his head. He supported his chin and shook it, and the small ball on the hat swayed with it.
"I don't know," he said depressedly, holding his fingers on the side of his face, squeezing his cheeks chubby, and said: "The director said that a special guest hasn't arrived yet, so we have to wait."
Yu Wen has a fair face, delicate features, and upturned and round cat eyes. At first glance, he looks very young. His deceptive appearance often makes people feel good about him.
Zou Ming liked him very much, just like a younger brother. When he heard this, he immediately felt sorry for him, "What special guest? You have such a bad temper, and you made so many people wait here?"
"It seems that the car broke down on the road..."
Special guests are a little more powerful than extras. They have certain requirements for appearance and speech, and usually have a small number of lines.
It is impossible for a special guest to make the director wait. It's just that the crew changed the scene today and chose a remote mountain valley. They couldn't find a suitable replacement for a while. It happened to be that they could shoot other scenes first, so it didn't matter if they waited for a while.
The assistant director also urgently contacted three or four special guests, and whoever could come would be used.
But even so, the irritable director was still mad at this moment.
"Where are the special guests! Where are the special guests! Where are the special guests!"
"How many hours will it take?! If we don't shoot now, it will be too late!"
"Where are the extras? Are there any extras who can be used?"
The director's last name is Gao. He tends to get angry when filming. Every time he gets angry, Yu Wen is worried about his blood pressure and heart disease.
Thinking of this, Director Gao's sharp eyes swept over.
Yu Wen: "..."
No way, sir, will you be caught if you say bad things in your heart?
Director Gao's brows were tied in a knot, and he swept his angry eyes over the extras.
The special guest who was absent only had one scene. The other party had to play a young man who was rescued from the bandits by the heroine. There was no other requirement for this role, just one, good-looking.
He had to be fair and clean, with delicate skin and tender flesh. At first glance, he was a young master who was raised in a coquettish way.
Unfortunately, today's scene is about the heroine destroying a bandit's den alone, and there are a lot of action scenes, so most of the extras invited in advance are martial arts actors.
It's hard to find delicate skin and tender flesh among ordinary extras, not to mention that all of them are martial arts masters.
Director Gao was patrolling in the crowd and unexpectedly met a pair of round eyes.
Oh, the Lost Pearl of the Canghai.
"You, come here."
Yu Wen: "..."
Director Gao's eyes were burning, like a starving ghost who had been hungry for three days. Yu Wen walked over reluctantly.
Director Gao thought he looked familiar, but didn't care. He looked him up and down, and after half a minute, he showed a satisfied expression and asked, "Have you learned acting?"
Yu Wen shook his head.
Director Gao: "How's your Mandarin?"
Yu Wen: "Not bad."
Director Gao asked him to say a few words, and after hearing that he didn't have an accent, he nodded.
"Do you want lines?"
To be honest, Yu Wen didn't want them.
Originally, he only needed to fish in the back, and saying lines would waste a little saliva, contribute a little performance, and it wouldn't increase the money-
"I'll pay you the highest salary of Zhongte, just say a few lines."
Yu Wen understood a little bit that the director wanted him to take the role of the special contract.
He recalled the price range of Zhongte.
"!"
Yu Wen's eyes lit up.
- How could someone not want lines! Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
-
The makeup team quickly changed him into a gorgeous dress, smeared dust on his face, and imitated the wolf-like young master who was locked up by bandits for two days.
There are three special actors in this scene, one of whom is a big special, who is very experienced. He plays all the scenes with the heroine, while Yu Wen is responsible for saying "yes, yes" and "yes, yes".
The heroine breaks into the bandit's lair alone and saves countless old, weak, women and children. Everyone is grateful and crying. The three rich young men are positioned as the control group, mainly playing the role of being ruthless and ungrateful.
Special A: "Whose subordinate are you? Why did you come so late? It took two days to attack a broken mountain stronghold! I will definitely report you to the king later!"
Yu Wen: "Yes, yes!"
Special A: "What are you doing? Can't you see that my clothes are torn? Send me down the mountain quickly! Don't get entangled with these low-class people!"
Yu Wen: "Yes, yes!"
"Clang" sound. The heroine drew her long sword and pointed it at the throat of the rude man.
Yu Wen: "Wow."
He was born in a well-off family and had a smooth life. He skipped grades smoothly, went straight to a doctorate smoothly, and followed his mentor to work in a research institute smoothly. He was a first-year doctoral student before he traveled through the book. He had never seen such a cold and cold sword before, and he subconsciously exclaimed.
Most of the prop swords in the crew were not sharpened, but occasionally some directors who were striving for perfection would ask actors to use sharpened weapons when taking close-ups.
Yu Wen did not dare to bet on Director Gao's mental state, nor did he dare to bet on the stability of the actress's hands. He took advantage of his position to hide behind Special A.
Special B witnessed the whole process: "..."
-
Yu Wen's subtle little movements did not affect the shooting effect. Except for Special B who was close, no one noticed him.
After the scene was over, the assistant director called him aside and said, "You acted well. You said before that you should bravely pursue your dreams. I thought you were joking."
Some time ago, the crew rushed to meet the deadline and divided into two groups, A and B, to shoot at the same time. Yu Wen was the stage manager of Group B. The assistant director had met him before and was familiar with him. When Yu Wen resigned from the stage manager position, he claimed that he had a dream since he was a child and wanted to be a big star when he grew up. He looked young and was used to speaking seriously. His serious jokes were easily taken seriously. The assistant director heard about this and invited him to audition, but unfortunately Yu Wen did not come and insisted on eating the big pot with the extras.
"Go back and take acting lessons to improve your acting skills. I'll contact you directly if there's a play in the future." The assistant director took out a business card from his pocket. "You haven't signed with a company yet? There's no way to make a living in this industry by taking part in small plays. You still have to rely on professionals. I have a friend who is signing artists recently. You can contact him when you have time. Their company is still in its infancy. I can't say how good the resources are, but they will definitely not treat you badly. I guarantee it with my reputation in this industry."
Yu Wen held the business card and thought for a moment. He smiled sweetly and thanked the assistant director.
The subsequent plays had nothing to do with Yu Wen. Director Gao was a strict person. Actors who had appeared in the film could not play extras again. Yu Wen was able to leave work early. After saying goodbye to Zou Ming, he walked to the nearest bus stop.
It has been raining recently. The sky is about to get dark, but there is no rosy glow in the sky. There are only dark clouds pressing down on the head. It looks like it is going to rain.
Yu Wen broke a banana leaf from the roadside and propped it on his head. When he jogged to the bus stop, the heavy rain lasted for three minutes. In just three minutes, he became a drowned chicken.
There were only two rows of benches at the bus stop. A young man in a hooded sweatshirt was sitting on one of them. Yu Wen passed by him and happened to meet his raised narrow eyebrows, which were very beautiful red phoenix-shaped. The eyelashes were black, which formed a great contrast with the white eyelids with several sharp wrinkles.
A cool guy. Yu Wen thought.
