September 23, 2002.
Zhoushan Peach Blossom Island, the crew of "Dragon".
"How many times have I told you, don't abuse the blower? This is not how TV series are shot, I am the director!"
"I'm a producer and this is my project!"
"If you can't do it, then don't do it. My crew is never short of directors! From today on, even if you buy a nail, it must have my signature!"
As a fierce quarrel came from the tent, the entire crew suddenly fell silent.
From the actors to the behind-the-scenes, everyone stayed in their positions and pretended to be dead, for fear of being harmed.
However, in the corner of the studio, an extra actor wearing a Beggar's Gang costume had an inexplicable excitement flashing in his eyes at this moment.
[Ding~ The melon-eating system has been activated! 】
[This melon has been tested to be Grade C, and you can get a Grade C lottery gift pack]
[Cashback for eating melons]:
[(Zhou Xiaowen) Camera sense: +20 points]
[(Zhang Jizhong) Acting Skills: +20 points]
To be honest, Jiang Zhe never expected that there would be such a surprise when watching Zhang Bearded?
Although he was startled when this voice suddenly sounded in his head.
However, as a one-year veteran player of "Legend", Jiang Zhe quickly figured out the situation.
What kind of "melon-eating system", isn't this just a plug-in?
After understanding this, Jiang Zhe was immediately overjoyed.
In addition to being pleasantly surprised, he quickly figured out the function of this "melon-eating system".
To put it simply, this is like a life cheat for cultivating people who have fun.
As long as Jiang Zhe eats melon, no matter how big or small, he will get a chance to draw a lottery.
At most, the prizes may vary slightly depending on the size of the melon.
And in addition to the lucky draw gift pack after eating melon, the host will also receive a "cash back for eating melon" every time he eats melon.
In other words, the host can randomly collect certain attribute bonuses from the target.
For example, just now, Jiang Zhe got the attributes of a director from director Zhou Xiaowen, and the attributes of an actor from Zhang Dabeard.
And these are undoubtedly magic weapons for Jiang Zhe, a group performer.
Besides, only a fool would not do such a good thing as getting paid to eat!
You know, he used to like to watch other people have fun in the village.
In order to watch the fight between Lao Wang and his wife next door, he lay hungry on the wall of Lao Wang's house for more than an hour.
If Lao Wang hadn't surrendered because he couldn't bear the pain anymore, he could have continued watching.
There are also the village chief and his daughter-in-law, Li Dali and his sister-in-law.
It can be said that Jiang Zhe has been a fun-loving person since he was a child, so it is no wonder that he has awakened to the melon-eating system.
…
Just when Jiang Zhe was secretly excited, Zhang Dabeard was not idle either.
After all, if such a large crew is delayed for one day, it will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars.
So when director Zhou Xiaowen left angrily, Zhang Jizhong decisively asked deputy director Ju Jueliang to take over.
Faced with such a good thing that fell from the sky, Ju Jueliang would naturally not refuse.
As soon as he took his seat, he took over the crew's duties with ease.
Under his command, the crew that soon came to a standstill began to operate in an orderly manner again.
But just when everything was going according to plan, the casting director delivered bad news.
"Old Ma, are you kidding me?"
"The filming is going to start soon, and you're telling me now that the actors can't be on set?"
After hearing what the casting director Ma Qiang said, Ju Jueliang's face turned dark.
You have to know that the scene to be filmed later, although it is not the grand finale of the "Shaolin Temple Martial Arts Conference", it is still a big scene.
After all, it was at the Ten Thousand Immortals Conference held by the Thirty-Six Cave Masters and the Seventy-two Island Masters that Xu Zhu accidentally saved the Tianshan Child Elder, so that he later married Bai Fumei and became the CEO of Lingjiu Palace. An opportunity to reach the pinnacle of life.
Therefore, the number of extras tonight is particularly large, and the props and mechanisms required are quite complex and very time-consuming.
If we can't shoot tonight, the cost of lost work will be a huge sum.
The casting director naturally knows this.
But there was nothing he could do. Ma Qiang looked embarrassed and said:
"Director, I didn't expect this to happen. The lunch boxes everyone had for lunch were from the same restaurant."
"It turned out that everyone else was fine, but Huang Youlong just couldn't stop having diarrhea... He's still in the toilet now!"
After hearing this, Ju Jueliang immediately stared at Ma Qiang with his eyes wide open, wanting to kill him.
Although Zhuo Bufan doesn't have many supporting roles, today's scene really wouldn't work without him.
Moreover, Zhuo Bufan's scenes today were almost all fighting scenes, and most of the time he had to fly around with wires attached.
Originally, Ju Jueliang wanted Huang Youlong to persist a little longer, but seeing that his diarrhea was so severe, he immediately gave up.
After all, he didn't want to see the spectacular scene of flying "flying" all over the sky.
Thinking of this, he stared coldly at the casting director in front of him.
"Lao Ma, I don't care if you are deliberately trying to tear me down, but I'm going to say something ugly first. If I can't see the replacement actor within half an hour, then I won't have a good time, and you won't have a good time either!"
After saying that, he drove the person out of the room expressionlessly.
Seeing Ju Jueliang say this, Ma Qiang's face suddenly turned bitter, as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis.
You must know that Huang Youlong is the all-around champion of the provincial martial arts competition and the national Sanda champion.
In just half an hour, where could you ask him to find such a person?
In this little time, it was too late to call for help from Hengdian!
However, the official level was overwhelming, so under the pressure from Ju Jueliang, he had no choice but to go find it.
…
After a while, the extras rested.
Just as Jiang Zhe was preparing to draw the lottery, he saw the casting director suddenly walking over.
"Don't say I won't give you guys a chance. The role of Zhuo Bufan is currently vacant."
"Five hundred dollars a day! Must have practiced martial arts!"
I saw that Ma Qiang, who had been humble in front of Ju Jueliang before, now looked arrogant.
"How about it? Is there anyone who can act?"
As soon as these words came out, all the male extras in the crew were like flies smelling meat. Regardless of whether they knew kung fu or not, they all immediately rushed to Ma Qiang and rushed to recommend themselves.
Because characters with such names and surnames would not have had their turn in the past.
"Director Ma, choose me, choose me, I...I know Tai Chi!"
"I, I, I...director, my acting skills are better than his."
"Director Ma, I have played the role of a mountain bandit. I am good at fighting scenes..."
"Director, choose me. I'm very good at somersaults. If you don't believe me, I'll perform it for you."
"..."
In an instant, a group of demons danced wildly.
But Ma Qiang had no choice. Time was tight, so he could only find it among the existing extras on the crew.
Although he may not be as qualified as Huang Youlong, it is better than nothing.
So he immediately asked the group of extras who came together to test them one by one.
But despite the fact that there are so many extras volunteering, in fact many of them are just trying to get lucky.
Everyone claims to be good at kung fu, but in actuality they can't even perform as well as radio gymnastics.
Even though some of his acting skills are passable, he doesn't have any foundation in kung fu.
As more and more people were screened out, Ma Qiang's face became increasingly ugly.
On the other side, Jiang Zhe in the corner was praying with his eyes closed nervously.
In fact, he wanted to rush forward just now, but after seeing several extras with decent acting skills fail, he realized that it was useless no matter how good his acting skills were.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zhe could only hope in his luck that he had been single for many years.
"lottery!"
Following Jiang Zhe's silent recitation, the sweet mechanical sound soon sounded again.
【Lottery successful~】
[This prize—Dharma Swordsmanship]
[Note: This sword technique is a performance version, do not use it in actual combat, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences]
When he heard this, Jiang Zhe burst into tears.
Oh my god, you finally opened your eyes!
But before he could be happy, he felt dizzy.
Immediately, a memory of practicing swordplay appeared in his mind, as if he had really practiced martial arts since childhood.
After realizing this, Jiang Zhe ignored his dizziness and excitedly pushed towards the crowd.
At the same time, in front of the crowd, the wrinkles between Ma Qiang's brows became deeper and deeper as he watched the performances in front of him.
Just when he was thinking about whether to lower his standards and find a martial artist with barely acceptable acting skills to match him, he heard a handsome young man in the crowd shout loudly:
"Director Ma, I can dance with a sword! I have learned the Bodhidharma sword!"
Hearing this, Ma Qiang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, because the fighting scenes of the character Zhuo Bufan, the Sword God, happened to be all about sword fighting.
However, he didn't have high expectations. Although this young man was quite handsome, he couldn't be eaten for money.
So after the last group performer finished his performance, he immediately casually gave instructions to the attendant on the side:
"Go get him a sword!"
Ma Qiang swore that if this kid dared to dance randomly, he would definitely kick him.
But not long after this idea arose, it disappeared from Ma Qiang's mind.
There is no way, who makes Jiang Zhe's Bodhidharma swordsmanship look really good.
Even because of the group of pig teammates in front of him, Ma Qiang even felt a little surprised now.
Jiang Zhe didn't know what Ma Qiang was thinking in his heart. At this moment, he was completely integrated with the memory in his mind.
Obviously he has never practiced swordsmanship, but at this moment he can demonstrate a set of Bodhidharma swordsmanship smoothly.
And it looks like he has been practicing martial arts for many years, and there is a charm in his movements.
"Okay, that's it!"
Because it takes a long time to master a whole set of swordsmanship, after seeing that Jiang Zhe's skills were fine, Ma Qiang, who was beaming with joy, quickly stopped.
"Come on, try acting this!"
With that said, he handed Jiang Zhe a line.
This was done firstly to see how his acting skills were, and secondly to see if he would have stage fright.
Seeing this situation, the surrounding group of performers suddenly burst into an uproar.
At this level, no one can see that this rare opportunity has been given to this boy!
For a moment, the extras looked at Jiang Zhe with jealousy in their eyes.
After all, they may only encounter such a good opportunity once in their lives!
But Jiang Zhe didn't care. He was born with a big heart.
With the blessing of Zhang Jizhong's 20 points of acting skills, Jiang Zhe, who originally had average acting skills, immediately raised his performance level to a higher level.
Although the performance is still somewhat superficial, it has gone beyond the level of group performance.
At least for a role like Zhuo Bufan, Jiang Zhe's current acting skills are completely enough to handle it.
"Hahaha~ Good boy, it's you!"
After discovering that Jiang Zhe was better than the original Huang Youlong in every aspect, Ma Qiang finally let go of his worries.
Feeling relieved, he was too lazy to pay attention to the group of minions in front of him, and immediately took Jiang Zhe to find the director.
Not to mention how excited Jiang Zhe was.
Seeing the two people leaving, the eyes of the remaining extras were really red with jealousy!
"Ma De, Ma must have taken a fancy to this boy!"
"That's right, isn't it just a random dance? Who can't do that?"
"Bah~ You are selling Gouzi's goods!"
However, no matter how unwilling they were, they only dared to curse in secret.
Even when Jiang Zhe comes back, they might immediately come together to flatter him.
So even though extra actors are only at the bottom of the entertainment industry, they still have the same problem of being duplicitous and flattering others.
I don’t know how many gossips and scandals actually spread like this!
