Entertainment from Charlotte's Troubles

Chapter 73 Help
"I just finished filming a movie and I'm resting at home."

In the cramped rental house, Li Yifeng, who was wearing a vest and big pants, immediately put down the instant noodles after receiving Yuan Hua's call.

After being idle for half a year, the rent could hardly be paid, so he couldn't do anything to wish Yuan Hua birthday wishes.

The album couldn't be sold, and his singing career was ruined, because his company lost a lot of money, and his manager always avoided him when they saw him.

Not to mention filming, even small roles can't be caught.

"Do you have any plans for the future?"

"Not yet."

After a pause for a few seconds, Yuan Hua said on the other end of the phone: "The film crew I'm in is about to wrap up, and there are a few tricks left, can you come?"

Li Yifeng was so embarrassing, it was almost finished, what was missing, he guessed that he was in a difficult life, and he wanted to help.

"sure, no problem."

Yuan Hua found the assistant director, and skillfully took out a cigarette and handed it over: "Director Wang, I have a younger brother who is very interested in acting, and I want to come to the crew to see it, but I don't know if it's convenient."

"Brother Hua, this, why didn't you say it earlier, it's the end, there isn't much drama."

The assistant director didn't dare to accept the cigarette, because he couldn't do it. How could he ask for a role when it was almost finished? He could think of a way when the film was first started, but now it's impossible.

"It's okay, the kid's picture is fresh, just for fun, just a trick."

Oh, it's a trick, it's a fart, the assistant director took the cigarette and said with a smile: "Since you have said that, brother Hua, I will definitely save face. It just so happens that one of the actors in the group has something to go back to his hometown."

It's just a trick, whoever acts is not an actor, kicking a trick out of the group is a matter of words for him.

Isn't that what the entertainment industry is like, you help me and I help you.

"Thank you Director Wang, I'll treat you to dinner another day."

In a few words, Yuan Hua helped Li Yifeng get the role. Don't look at it as a trick, at least there are lines, shots, and names at the end of the film. Without the benefit of the assistant director and group leader, ordinary extras will not be able to play until they die.

The next day, Li Yifeng, who came by train overnight, didn't feel that he had made up, so he took a taxi directly to the set.

"Brother Hua, thank you, I will never forget it." When he got to him, Li Yifeng stopped pretending.

"It's a little effort, and it's not a big role." He handed Li Yifeng a cigarette, but he waved his hand and didn't take it. Yuan Hua took it back: "Come with me, I'll take you to find the assistant director."

Five minutes later, Li Yifeng got his script.

Four lines!

While doing makeup and changing clothes, I memorized it fluently, and then I just waited, yes, I just waited.

Whether it's a group performance or a sideshow, it's just a living prop for the director. Use you when you use it, and leave it aside when you don't use it.

Like Yuan Hua, they can come later when there is no filming, or find a place to rest and sleep, as long as they can be on the set when it is their turn to shoot.

You can't do group acting, even if you only have one scene in a day, you have to be on the set from morning till night.

At noon, a scene was not filmed, and Li Yifeng, who was so hungry, squatted on the ground with a box of lunch and devoured it hungrily.

"Send him my copy." Not far away, Yuan Hua said to Zhao Liying.

There was no show this morning, he ate at the hotel and he wasn't hungry yet.

Zhao Liying picked up Yuan Hua's chicken drumstick lunch and said with a smile: "Brother Hua, I didn't expect your younger brother to be so handsome. I mean, you don't look alike either, cousins?"

"I said you lacked a root string in your brain." Yuan Hua rolled his eyes: "I said that to outsiders. Li Yifeng and I only have two sides. Where are the cousins?"

"What, have you met twice? Then you have a good heart, and you even helped him join the group and introduce work."

It's not relative, but she helps people after only seeing her twice. Zhao Liying feels that she doesn't know Yuan Hua anymore.

Drawing money?Li Yifeng doesn't seem to be rich either, he looks like a starved ghost reincarnated when he eats, it's not bad if he doesn't owe money.

Picture color?That's... not impossible.

"The young man is very hardworking and has a talent for acting. I just help him along the way."

After saying this, Yuan Hua took the lighter and cigarettes to the smoking area. Zhao Liying stared at his back and was taken aback for a moment.

After giving Yuan Hua's chicken leg rice to Li Yifeng, Zhao Liying didn't leave in a hurry, but squatted on the ground and chatted with him: "Which acting school did you graduate from?"

"I didn't come out of acting school, I was a broadcast host in college."

Zhao Liying smiled brightly: "Then your grades must be very good."

Li Yifeng smiled shyly: "I'm not afraid of your jokes. I take the exam every year. At that time, I was greedy for fun. I often went to Internet cafes to play games all night."

Zhao Liying: "..."

That's hard work?

"How many plays have you acted in?"

Li Yifeng stretched out three fingers.

"Thirty films, that's not a lot." Zhao Liying nodded slowly. She has also filmed dozens of films, most of them are side effects, and there is no supporting role.

"It's three parts." Li Yifeng corrected: "Have you heard of The Prince of Tennis? I played tricks in it, and that was the one I had the most lines in."

Zhao Liying is cracked, what the hell is she talented in acting?How did you see it?
Apart from being handsome, there is no advantage at all.

"Hey, sister, don't go, let's talk again."

In the afternoon, Li Yifeng, who had been basking in the sun all day, finally came on stage. He played the role of a leading spy to catch criminals.

"Come here, copy it away for me."

"be honest!"

"Captain, the prisoner has been caught."

"Yes!"

After changing the camera position for four or five times, Li Yifeng finished filming within 10 minutes.

Zhao Liying, who secretly watched the whole process, curled her lips: "That's it, I can do it myself!"

In the evening, when the crew finished work, Yuan Hua invited the assistant director to dinner, and brought Li Yifeng with him by the way.

"Speaking of which, we haven't been together for a long time, Director Wang, eat and drink well."

"Okay, Brother Hua, let me toast you."

"Yi Feng, don't be idle, toast the king."

"Director Wang, I respect you."

"Little brother, you are welcome."

After a meal, the assistant director got six or seven points drunk, and promised to help Li Yifeng make a trick tomorrow.

Ten days later, Yuan Hua finished.

With his help these days, Li Yifeng has played a lot of tricks, but the more important roles are in the back, gradually Li Yifeng has no tricks to run, so he simply plays in groups.

Yuan Hua praised him for his hard work and willingness to endure hardships, but Zhao Liying refused to accept it. After a meal of Mala Tang strategy, Li Yifeng revealed the truth.

The money for the return ticket was gone, so he had to work for a few more days.

Normally, group performances and extras are recruited locally, and very few people travel thousands of miles to perform group performances.

The salary of group performers is not high, tens of dollars a day. If you come from other places, you need to rent a house, and there are not plays every day.

In this way, it is a loss.

Li Yifeng is in this state.

"Hey, Director Zhao, I, Huazi, what am I busy with? What can I do, I can't talk to you if I have nothing to do...I'm filming, okay, I have a younger brother who is interested in acting, I don't know what's wrong with you It's not bad...the assistant director's phone number, tell me."

On the last day of the crew, Yuan Hua called Zhao Baogang in front of Li Yifeng, asking for the contact information of the deputy director of Zhao Baogang's new play.

"Hold it." Handing the small note with the phone number to Li Yifeng, Yuan Hua said, "Go to Hengdian to make this call and give me my name."

"The crew has just started up, so it's enough for you to hang around for a month or two."

"Thank you Brother Hua."

Everything was kept silent, Li Yifeng knew that the words of gratitude he said at this moment were all empty, so let's talk about repaying others when he becomes popular in the future.
