"Are you here to find work too?"
"Aren't you already so hot?"
"Why are you still here to perform as an extra?"
Gu Yi smiled: "Study more, I have never filmed a movie, so I might not be as good as you if you really want to say it."
"You are so humble. You all have professional teachers to teach you, so you are much better than us."
"That's different."
"Okay." The man sighed, "I thought you were choosing the roles on behalf of the crew."
However, as soon as they finished speaking, a bus stopped near them.
A fat middle-aged man walked to the front of the crowd.
Holding a paper tube loudspeaker in his hand: "An anti-Japanese drama requires thirty Japanese soldiers, 1.6 to 1.75 meters tall, 100 per day, to provide a lunch box, priority will be given to those with actor certificates!"
The extras waiting here saw this and immediately surrounded them.
"Me me me!"
"Director, I specialize in playing devils!"
"Director, I am obedient and I am very good at pretending to be dead!"
"director......"
The crowd is buzzing!
There were hundreds of people at the scene, and it was obvious that there were more wolves than meat.
Seeing this, Gu Yi thought for a moment that he was already over 1.8 meters tall, but...what the heck! Let’s go up first. This is like a supermarket sale. Grandpa and aunt are going to grab groceries. Although each person is limited to three kilograms of food, they all want to decorate more. At worst, they can take it out when it’s time to weigh it.
"Director, I, I, I, I'm from Jingying Film Company!"
Gu Yi directly took advantage of it.
But soon his voice was drowned in the crowd.
Soon, the group leader started to order people.
"you you you."
Whoever he clicked on would have a smile on his face and stand next to him. When he clicked on one, the little girl next to him would write it down in her notebook.
A little over twenty.
Including the uncle who just talked to Gu Yi was also selected.
As the number of people dwindled slightly, and Gu Yi was tall, he was soon exposed to the sight of the group leader.
The group leader was shocked when he saw Gu Yi.
Because he felt like he had seen it before.
"Can't you?"
"How could he come here?"
"Maybe they just look alike. This young man doesn't look as handsome as Gu Yi."
So, he thought for a moment, slowly stretched out his fingers, and finally touched Gu Yi's body with his chubby fingers.
"you."
"Thank you, director!"
When Gu Yi saw that the other party actually clicked on him, he came to the crowd with joy on his face.
After that, the group leader randomly nodded at a few people of similar height, and then waved his hand.
"boarding!"
But at this moment, one person in the crowd was unhappy.
"Why should he be selected if he is so high?"
Unexpectedly, the group leader glanced at him: "I can choose whoever I want to choose. Even if I don't choose him, it won't be your turn."
At this moment, the domineering power of the group leader was fully displayed.
Sitting on the bus, the middle-aged man who just talked to Gu Yi was sitting next to him.
He looked at the group leader in front of him, and then asked in a low voice: "You can really choose? I guess I recognize you."
Gu Yi didn't know the reason: "I don't know, anyway, we are in the same crew now. Brother, what is your name?"
"Li Jiefang."
"Brother Jiefang?"
"You should still call me Brother Li...Hey, what do you call me brother? You are more famous than me. I can't afford to call you brother."
"Whatever you can afford or can't afford. If you are older than me, then you are my brother. Please take care of me later. This is my first time as an extra and I have no experience."
"Hey, that's easy to say."
In this way, Li Jiefang was telling Gu Yi what to pay attention to when being an extra.
But it's actually nothing.
Just be obedient.
You can fall down if the director asks you to, and you can't move if you pretend to be dead, otherwise you will be scolded.
And it's not a big deal to get scolded. If the group leader remembers it, they may not ask you to take pictures in the future, and you won't even be able to earn 100 yuan a day.
Not long after, the bus stopped.
This is a wilderness.
Everyone got out of the car with the group leader, who then ran all the way to report to the assistant director.
I don’t know what he said to the assistant director over there, but the assistant director looked over in surprise.
After a while, they were taken directly to change clothes by the staff.
Just when Gu Yi was about to follow him, the assistant director suddenly shouted in this direction: "That...that's the tall guy, come here!"
"Me?" Gu Yi pointed at himself.
"Yes, that's you."
Gu Yi walked over there in confusion, wondering if he would be recognized?
When he came to the assistant director, Gu Yi didn't recognize him.
In this world, he is only familiar with a few big directors who often appear.
"Are you Gu Yi?"
The assistant director called him by name directly.
But Gu Yi muttered in his heart at this moment, maybe the other person didn't know him when he asked this question, and maybe he looked similar to him, otherwise he wouldn't have used such a question.
And when I came out today, I specially wore old clothes and didn't do my hair. It looked messy.
"No, director, I just look more similar."
"Yes, I think so, but they do look very similar." As he said that, the assistant director looked Gu Yi up and down again, "It's really similar. The more we look at it, the more similar we are. Just now the group leader told me that you have a good image, and it just so happens that we This is still short of a prospect, so you can be the prospect."
"Thank you, director!"
Gu Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
Among ordinary people, there are many celebrities who bump into each other's faces. For example, a certain Taiwanese music king once looked very similar to a pancake vendor.
One said Hua Liu is the coolest one.
One said Chinese pancakes are the coolest.
The so-called foreground that Gu Yi will play this time is actually a type of group performance, except that most of the group performances are in the background, while the foreground is someone who can stand under the camera. Although he has no lines, he can show his face.
And the daily wages for prospects are also higher.
Gu Yi asked the staff on the way.
Prospect roles in this crew earn $180 a day.
Almost twice as much.
"Ouch (three sounds)!"
When changing clothes, Gu Yi couldn't help but let out a strange cry: "It really stinks!"
I don’t know how many people have worn these clothes, but the crew generally avoids wear and tear, so they basically don’t wash these clothes. Anyway, they are not worn by the protagonists. The clothes worn by the protagonists are all specially customized.
"Forget it, everyone is like this. The other extras may not be as good as me."
Gu Yi thought as he changed into the officer's clothes.
Tops, pants, combat boots, belts...
Everything is available.
In fact, as Li Jiefang said before, group acting does not require any technical content, but Gu Yi knows nothing about filming now. Although the company can help find supporting actors with lines, Gu Yi still wants to know more about it.
If nothing else, at least don't wait until you enter as a serious actor and know nothing about everything.
Let’s do group performances first, and then strive to move up.
Now, because of my image, I was very lucky to be selected as a prospect.
This has saved a lot of detours.
After changing his clothes, he took a photo with his mobile phone.
"Don't tell me, he looks like a colonel. It would be better if he wasn't a Japanese."
