Chapter 74 Farewell and Blind Date
The next day, Xia Jinning got up early.
She thought that there would not be many people outside in the morning, and it would be a different experience to run in a group of ancient buildings.
Unexpectedly, she found that there were quite a few people after she came out, and there were many extras squatting on the roadside.
Whenever a crew member came over, the extras would rush up, raise their hands, and hope that they would be selected.
Xia Jinning was very moved when she saw this scene. It is not easy in any industry.
In the previous life, I met a girl when I was filming. She was also a performance major, and her school was not very famous.
But her acting skills were definitely online, but she had neither a good academic background as a stepping stone nor a background and network to pave the way.
She has been an extra in Hengdian for four or five years.
She heard from her that the daily salary of extras in Hengdian is only 110 yuan, and an additional 10 yuan will be added for overtime.
But the rule is that you still need to pay 10% tax, for example, if you earn 10 yuan, 1 yuan will be deducted.
The key is that this line of work is really hard. The TV series may be broadcast for less than a minute, but this scene took several hours to shoot.
The extras run back and forth, eat dust, react, get scolded, and bask in the sun. From the hottest time of the sun, to the sunset, and then to the night.
In the end, it's only a hundred yuan. Stay up the latest night to apply the most expensive mask, get up the earliest, and watch the sun slowly rise.
It may also be from 18:00 in the evening to 2:00 in the morning. Everything is possible, all depends on luck, because after reporting the play, you don't know when to start work and when to finish work.
It's just a game of mentality, opening blind boxes, and competing for how many hairs are left.
Although the girl was full of dissatisfaction, her eyes were full of light.
Xia Jinning asked her, "Why do you insist on doing this?"
The girl didn't care and stuffed a few mouthfuls of lunch into her mouth. "What if I become famous? But when I run out of money and continue to spend money like this, I will change my career!"
Xia Jinning was very touched. At that time, Hope forced her to film a web drama, and she was very resistant in her heart.
But looking at this girl, wearing coarse clothes, walking back and forth in the market under the scorching sun countless times.
Her eyes were still full of vitality and expectation, and Xia Jinning suddenly felt relieved.
If you insist on doing this, there is still hope. If you give up, you will have nothing.
So she quickly adjusted her mentality and kept looking for ways to break the deadlock.
Only after she had some fans did Xia Jinning have a certain say in the club, and she was able to gain a foothold.
Seeing such a familiar scene again, Xia Jinning found it quite interesting.
Now the roads are full of people, and Xia Jinning did not insist on going for a run.
After a walk and breakfast, she went directly to the crew.
Most of the shots were captured, but some dance moves may have been performed too fast, so more cameras were needed to reshoot them.
After changing her clothes and putting on makeup, Xia Jinning quickly entered the working state.
She danced over and over again, and she did not feel bored at all.
Because this is just a reshoot, there is no highlight. So Feng Lin didn't watch it here in person, but stared at other cameras.
When he came back and saw Xia Jinning was still dancing, he waited for Xia Jinning to finish shooting and chatted with her for a few words.
"You girl, I was setting up a scene for you yesterday, but you didn't say anything when you came over, and just poured water on me." Feng Lin teased.
Xia Jinning knew that Feng, the actor, meant well, so she smiled and replied, "They are all seniors, and it's hard for me to talk to them as a newcomer. Thank you Director Feng for giving me the opportunity! I appreciate your kindness!"
"Why are you being so polite by calling me Brother Lin? You are done with everything, are you planning to leave directly, or..." Feng Lin wanted to train Xia Jinning.
But she is not only a senior high school student, but also a professional athlete.
He was also very busy, so he asked tentatively.
Xia Jinning naturally understood what he said, and followed the conversation to reply, "I wonder if it is convenient for you to learn from everyone in the crew."
"Of course it is convenient. Everyone had a good impression of you yesterday. Don't be shy. When everyone is talking about drama, you can join them and learn a lot."
Feng Lin was sincerely imparting his experience to Xia Jinning. Sometimes the feelings between people are very strange, and they will have an inexplicable good impression.
The phenomenon of stratification in the circle is getting more and more serious. Many old actors look down on the new generation of actors now. The dramas are so good and the pomp is so big. They
are unwilling to practice the lines and want a stand-in for everything, but the pay is too high. The sick environment makes many old actors unable to adapt, but they have to cater to the market.
It's rare to have a young person that you like. Yesterday, everyone said that they would recommend him more if they have the chance.
Xia Jinning nodded and agreed.
Such a good learning opportunity, of course, would not be rejected.
In the following time, Xia Jinning calmed down and focused on following the crew, sometimes helping with odd jobs, and took the initiative to learn something about everything.
This play is about family, country and the world, and it is full of emotions. When many veteran actors were acting, there was obviously no music to render, but there were all kinds of dramatic environments around them.
Xia Jinning was moved to tears again and again.
Su Yanshu, the actor who played Baili Shiyin, saw that Xia Jinning was really working hard to learn, and occasionally helped to talk about the play.
After all, the actors in this crew are generally older. Except for Su Yanshu, everyone is almost a generation older than Xia Jinning.
The good atmosphere of the crew was completely destroyed on the day Lin Zhiwei arrived.
Two nanny cars got off a total of more than a dozen staff members.
There was obviously no sunshine, and there were two umbrella-holding people behind.
Feng Lin went up to communicate and was almost furious.
They brought their own costumes and makeup artists.
Normally, the first makeup of an actor is determined by Grace, and only after that will it be handed over to an ordinary makeup artist for daily makeup.
Lin Zhiwei didn't know Grace's status in the makeup circle. After she expressed her desire to use her own makeup artist, Grace simply quit and went back to the hotel swearing.
If Grace didn't owe Feng Lin a favor, how could she come to the crew to do such ordinary makeup.
Lin Zhiwei didn't care and insisted on using her own makeup artist.
Feng Lin asked her to prepare first.
Lin Zhiwei's role is the general's wife Liu Yixian.
There is only one farewell scene, no lines, just show reluctance and worry.
But Lin Zhiwei's makeup...
doesn't look like a farewell, but like a blind date.
Feng Lin was so angry that his gums almost hurt.
This play is his first work, and he is determined not to allow such a situation to happen.
So he refused directly, either obey the crew's arrangement, or don't act.
Lin Zhiwei was not angry, and just insisted on the stalemate in the crew, and did not make any changes.
