Chapter 5
Wansheng Street and Hengdian Film and Television City are both in Hengdian Town, and the distance is very close.

However, in order to ensure the safety of the actors and save time, the crew chose to drive there.

When Fang Nan climbed into the van with his body crooked, Wu Gao and the others gritted their teeth with hatred.

What made Wu Gao and the others even more desperate was that Gao Chang told them that Fang Nan not only joined the crew of "Miao Cuihua", but also became a special actor, earning 80 yuan a day.

In 2001, the salary of ordinary extras in the crew was about 10 yuan for 25 hours.

Naturally, there is extra income, but it is too embarrassing to be willing to work hard.

Playing dead people and wearing hemp and filial piety cost extra money.

Extra money for playing whores, shaving your head, and getting in the rain.

Carrying the coffin and sedan chair also cost extra.

There seem to be a lot of money-adding plays, but in fact there are very few. The average extra performer actually earns more than 20 yuan a day.

Therefore, Wu Gao and the others hated Fang Nan to the core without any reason.

Two vans and a small truck tow props and equipment arrived at Hengdian and Qingming Shanghetu Scenic Area without any haste.

Fang Nan got out of the car first.

He was a special guest and had to put on makeup on the spot. He didn't know what to do, so he could only help Gaochang and the others move props and shooting equipment quickly.

"I don't need you, just wait by the director's side and wait for the role." Gao Chang said to Fang Nan with a smile.

Fang Nan was taken aback, stopped what he was doing, and looked at the back of Gao Chang's head full of depression.

He couldn't figure out how he offended the senior manager.

"Could it be that you're jealous now?" Fang Nan frowned deeply.

He thinks this way not because of his many years of experience in the industry.

Who is Fang Nan?

He has been in the crew for more than 20 or [-] years, so it is still not clear what kind of person a general director likes?
Gao Chang's seemingly caring advice is murderous in his eyes.

I really believed his words, and ran around beside the director.

Not to mention other directors.

When he was working as an assistant director, he saw a special actor in the crew not helping to clean up the shooting site, not picking up easy-to-wear garbage on the ground, but wandering around in front of his eyes. He could spray this person to death.

Fang Nan pressed his tongue against his cheeks, pondering over the little jealousy in Gao Chang's heart, then ignored him, and carried the equipment down from the car on his own.

Even the equipment that needs to be assembled is properly assembled in the open space.

As for Gao Chang with a complex face.

He counts a ball.

The so-called field affairs, to put it bluntly, are the miscellaneous work of the crew.

The director, cameraman, and lighting engineer shouted, and this kind of miscellaneous chores had to fire cannons, set off smoke, lay tracks, and move equipment.

In short, you have to do everything, and you can do everything. If you develop horizontally to the top, you will be an on-site producer.

If you don't meet noble people, you will be like this until you die. If you want to switch to photography or directing, there is no way.

So Fang Nan didn't love him, he just treated Gao Chang as air.

"It's over, the first scene is Diao Weiya's beating scene." When Fang Nan was helping to lay the track car, Zeng Li said something like rushing through the door.

Fang Nan asked her in a low voice: "Have you never hung a wire before, or have you never filmed a fight scene?"

Zeng Li said: "I have photographed them all."

Fang Nan found this woman quite funny: "Then what are you afraid of?"

Zeng Li glanced at Fang Nan: "It's unnecessary to ask this question. Apart from being afraid of not being able to shoot well, what else can I be afraid of?"

Fang Nan rolled his eyes and slipped away, this woman's brain circuit is different from others, talking to her too much, my little heart can't afford it.

"Fang Nan, Fang Nan!"

Not long after leaving Zeng Li, the director Fang Tian waved to him again.

It's not easy for a director to remember the names of special actors. I have to say that Fang Nan is very lucky. With so few Fang surnames, he was able to meet Fang Tian.

It's a pity that Fang Tian will find no one in later generations, otherwise this thigh must be hugged.

"What's the matter, director?"

"You put on Miao Cuihua's makeup. When Zeng Li can't do the movements well, and it doesn't look good, you can be her substitute."

Fang Tian pinched his temples on both sides and said bitterly.

"Okay, director." Fang Nan answered while pinching his nose.

After entering the crew for a while, he has already figured out the current situation of Miao Cuihua's crew through insinuations.

The actress originally scheduled to play Miao Cuihua in the film "Miao Cuihua" was Cai Shaofen. Before Cai Shaofen joined the group, Wu Zhi used a stand-in to film the fighting scenes, leaving only some close-up shots.

Unexpectedly, Ada Choi would not be able to come under special circumstances, so Wu Zhi was so angry that she ran back to Xiangjiang.

Therefore, Fang Tian was willing to bring Fang Nan not all because of Zeng Li's help.

What made Fang Nan even more uncomfortable was that he was given a special contract because the salary of a special contract was much lower than that of Wu Dui, and it was not just for him to say a few lines.

"I'm used to it!" Fang Nan let out a sigh, and ran to change into costumes.

In 2001, audiences were not so sophisticated about film and television dramas. The Song Dynasty scene of Qingming Shanghetu was more than enough for Qing Dynasty dramas. It only took a short time to prepare for the filming.

At the same time, Fang Nan, who had shaved his head, changed into costumes and put on a wig, also ran to Zeng Li's side.

As a special actor, he also works part-time in martial arts.

The plot of the first play that started filming was very simple.

[The unsophisticated Wuning Gege was tricked into riding a bull wearing a red dress, which caused the scalper to go berserk and rampage in the street. Hua helps, saves Gege, and uses cloth to control the mad scalper, which wins applause from the audience. 】

This scene was not difficult, and the movements were considered simple. Zeng Li simply performed a front flip, and then hung at a height of four or five meters, assuming a posture of gliding with ease.

After the sprung bed was laid, Fang Nan and another martial artist from the film crew put Zeng Li's body in the air and helped her to try a few front flips. Zeng Li signaled to the director to start filming.

The lighting and photography were in place, and the director said "start".

Zeng Li jumped up on the spring bed with both feet, and Fang Nan and the two of them took advantage of the situation to lift her legs with their hands. After Zeng Li stood upright steadily, the first movement was easily completed.

"Next, next."

The director didn't give any encouragement, and hurriedly prepared for the next action.On the way, he waved at Fang Nan and the two, and sent them to Lavia again.

Hanging wire, also known as hanging steel wire, has been carried forward by Xiangjiang Films. The wire, which allows actors to perform various difficult movements in the air, has become an indispensable artifact in the film and television industry.

Kolawia is a real chore.

"One two three, pull."

When the director shouted, Fang Nan and the others put in all their strength to pull Zeng Li to the height required by the director.

The director yelled again, Fang Nan and the others pulled the wire and retreated after a pause, Zeng Li rushed out.

The camera did not capture the panorama, so retake.

The camera failed to catch up again, Fang Tian scolded the staff who pushed the small trolley on the moving track, and continued to reshoot.

Zeng Li didn't pose properly, so she took another shot.

After going back and forth several times, Fang Nan was covered in sweat, and the people next to him kept sticking out their tongues, like a wolf dog after a run in the scorching sun.

It wasn't until the end of the fifth trip that Fang Tian looked at the monitor and felt that it was almost the same before calling for a stop.

He didn't dare to be too serious, because one more shot would cost more money.
