Chapter 310: Encountering Extras

The other party obviously did not think highly of her.

I even felt that she was too arrogant, saying she wanted to invest right away.

I don't know which family this kid comes from. He's out here without any supervision from his elders. I'm afraid he doesn't even know how much it costs to make a movie?

"Girl, if you are bored, you can come and play with us for a couple of days. For example, we will need a lot of people to perform on the street later, so you can dress up like this and walk on the street. When you come back, I will ask the stage manager to give you a big red envelope."

“…”

Are you treating her like a child?

Huang Xinran was so surprised that she forgot to say anything. As a result, the director turned around and left, and then shouted loudly to start the next shoot.

"After resting enough, start shooting! Hurry up, everyone over there! And you, quickly send the stool over there. Put two more bonsai pots over there... Where's the lighting technician? Everyone, get moving..."

Seeing that the director was busy again, Huang Xinran didn't want to disturb him anymore.

Unable to talk to the director anymore, she could only step aside and wait while watching the filming.

But she was standing there, perhaps too relaxed, when the crew member who was arranging the personnel suddenly reached out and grabbed her: "There's another person here, hurry up, the shooting will start soon. Don't just stand there like an idiot."

Huang Xinran was pushed out for unknown reasons, and inexplicably followed the others, and began to wander around on the "street", swaying in front of the camera.

As a result, when filming started, the director was dissatisfied with the shot.

He was not satisfied with her, but with another male supporting actor. I don't know what happened, but he was obviously not in good shape. His expression became worse and worse each time he took the film. He forgot all his lines. He had a sad face when he should be laughing, and he was as stiff as a log when he should be interacting.

The director was so angry that he threw the script to the ground: "Ka-ka-ka!~~ What are you doing? You can't even act out a scene of people walking on the street. I paid you to act, and this is how you repay me? Get out of here, all of you! Stay away! We're not going to shoot this scene!"

The director took out his anger on the extras present.

The supporting actor knew that he had angered the director, but he was really not in good shape today and could only stand there awkwardly.

Someone nearby couldn't stand it anymore and pulled him away to chat.

Soon, word came out that the other party had to take leave for an urgent matter, and his scenes would not be filmed today.

Not filming anymore?

The director's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. There were so many people in his crew every day. How much money would it cost to eat and drink? If the other party said he wanted to give up and ran away, and didn't want to shoot anymore, who would be responsible for the loss?

The director swore and vented his anger.

After the anger is released, it's fine to do whatever needs to be done. There's no other way. How can we continue filming when everyone has left? "Change, quickly change. Just film these 436 scenes. Shoot them all while the current set is in place. Hurry up!"

The scenes to be filmed were changed temporarily and everyone got busy.

Soon, a stagehand found the director and said that a minor supporting role in this scene was not available today and could not be filmed.

"Who said we can't shoot? No one is coming. It's better if no one is coming. Let's find someone else!"

He subconsciously searched in the crowd for a while, and suddenly his eyes were on someone. He stretched out his hand and pulled Huang Xinran out of the crowd.

"You, right! I'm talking about you. Don't shoot this. There's a minor character over there whose face is shown. You're just the right person for this role. Hurry over and let the makeup artist help you adjust it. We'll start shooting right away."

"Oh, me? But I..."

"Hurry up!~"

The other party had a tough attitude and kept urging her, so Huang Xinran subconsciously followed the so-called makeup artist.

But when they came to the dressing room, the makeup artist's eyes lit up when she saw Huang Xinran's current clothes and outfit: "You look good as it is, there's no need to change anything else. I'll help you touch up your makeup and make your eyebrows more delicate. As for other parts... just put on a hat."

Listening to the makeup artist's chatter, Huang Xinran also understood the small role she was about to play.

It is indeed a minor role, appearing three times and with only a few lines. As a small follower who followed the young lady who returned from studying abroad in the early stage, his biggest role was to complement the extraordinary status of the heroine and to be a catalyst for the love between the hero and heroine. Naturally, his death was worthy of its own.

After listening to the general content of the subsequent filming, Huang Xinran nodded to show that he understood.

While the makeup artist was chattering away, she almost understood the role. She put on the off-white sun hat with pink floral brims that the makeup artist handed her and walked straight out of the dressing room.

When she stood next to the heroine, the director was immediately satisfied.

"That's more like it! Everyone, take your positions. Lighting masters, get ready... click!"

Although Huang Xinran was forced to join the show, it was her first time acting and she was very interested in it.

Of course, this interest is just a hobby. If she were asked to make acting a career, she would definitely not be happy.

Following the heroine, Huang Xinran followed the instructions of the stage manager and began to speak her lines.

After all, there were very few lines, just a few sentences, and Huang Xinran had already memorized them.

"Xiao Ya, don't listen to his nonsense, he is the ugly one! We are educated young people who have studied abroad and are influenced by new ideas. He looks down on you, he has no vision!"

After all, he had been sitting there watching for quite a while, and he had also watched a lot of TV and movies in his previous life, so Huang Xinran's eyes and eyebrows were dancing with excitement when he spoke.

Perhaps it was because she had a good attitude and was not under pressure that she spoke her lines in a clear and articulate manner.

This one was passed in one go.

The director was very satisfied.

After watching for a while and thinking about it, I decided to let them pass one more round and then moved on to the next one.

Huang Xinran has only three scenes in total. He appears cocky when he makes his debut, gets terrified when something happens, and before his death, he does not forget to contribute his last bit of effort, pushing forward the emotional drama between the man and woman.

This time, we took photos until the sun set.

When she died with her eyes open in a pool of blood, that is, when her role was finished, Huang Xinran suddenly realized the passage of time.

Oh no, oh no, the old man is still waiting for her over there!

She hurried down to clean the various pigments and the wolf that were on her body. However, the clothes she was wearing were obviously worn out, and the pigments could not be washed off.

Huang Xinran didn't think it was such a pity, but she was worried that going back alone might cause misunderstandings among others, which gave her a headache.

When she came out of the bathroom, the stage manager called her over and settled her salary for three scenes. In addition, she was given a surprise red envelope for playing a dead person.

"You are really very good. You have temperament and courage. You act well and speak your lines clearly. Most importantly, the director has a very good impression of you. He was just asking me if you will come tomorrow?"
