I become a big star after I sleep

Chapter 91 Hengdian (First Order!)
"This is Hengdian?"

After going all the way, Qin Muchu stood outside a small town.

Hengdian Film and Television City, the largest film and television base in China, has been continuously expanded since its establishment in 1996, adding a new filming base every two years.

In Tianchao, almost all famous directors have filmed here, let alone actors. I am afraid that they spend more time in Hengdian a year than at home.

Later, with the continuous expansion of Hengdian, it was even called "Oriental Hollywood".

There are all kinds of people here.

Big director, big star, future big director, future big star...

But more of them are unknown "horizontal drifters" with dreams of becoming famous.

In addition to the leading role and supporting roles, the filming of a play must have some background panels, that is, "dragon sets".

It is impossible for the crew to carefully select these roles. Usually, they go to the shooting location and find actors on the spot.

Therefore, Hengdian has also derived a profession-group leader.

They have collected a bunch of extra actors, and they will bring the actors over to any important people in the crew.

Actors may earn tens or hundreds of dollars a day, and they take a cut of it.

It is equivalent to being the agent of the actors.

They not only made it easier for the crew, but also gave chances to actors who wanted to be famous, and they made money themselves.

Qin Muchu was wearing sunglasses and walking on the streets of Hengdian.

There are many people, including tourists and actors, wearing clothes of various dynasties.

This feeling is very strange, as if time and space are chaotic.

A few seconds ago, the ancient palace was still carved with beams and painted buildings. After walking a few steps, we saw the tile-roofed houses in the alleys and lanes of the Republic of China. Going forward, we entered the modern steel forest.

Qin Muchu watched all the way, with relish.

In his previous life, he had only heard of the name Hengdian, but he had never been here.

"Guest officer, steamed buns, steaming steamed buns just out of the cage."

On the side of the road, a stall owner in coarse linen and tied hair shouted loudly.

He was dressed like an ancient shop waiter, and the steamer used to steam the buns was also made of wood. This attire was very harmonious on this ancient street.

Qin Muchu rubbed his stomach, and went straight to Hengdian after returning from Hong Kong Island. After two bites of the meal on the plane, he couldn't finish it. He was really hungry now.

So step forward:
"Boss, here are 10 buns."

The boss quickly packed the buns:

"Come on, grandpa, Chenghui 5 yuan."

The word "Yeer" is full of sound and full of ancient flavor.

Qin Muchu felt very comfortable, so he would buy them one by one if he knew it earlier, and asked him to shout ten times.

I was hesitant to return the product and buy it again, but I didn't dare to be afraid of being beaten.

At this time, a man walked by and greeted the boss:

"Boss Li, here is ten yuan."

The boss seemed to know him very well, and said while packing the buns:

"Mr. Zhang, why are you here so late this year? I thought you weren't coming."

"How can it be? The school holiday is a little late this year. It was just a holiday yesterday. Didn't you come here today? Ten yuan, please keep it."

The man took the bun and handed over the money.

The boss took the money and sighed again:

"Mr. Zhang, it's not that I'm talking too much. You said that you, Teacher Yanying, have done a good job. Why do you spend so much time in Hengdian getting angry with the crowd and being a teacher to future big stars? How comfortable it is to be respected."

Teacher Yanying?

Qin Muchu, who was about to turn around and leave, stopped, and looked at the man with his eyes covered by sunglasses.

He is around 30 years old, and looks decent, but his hairline is a bit dangerous, and his bald head is exposed, which reduces a lot of points.

This appearance is considered normal among ordinary people, but it is very average or even inferior in the entertainment industry.

Apart from Huang Mulin, does Yan Ying have such a young teacher?

"Boss, what kind of teacher am I? I'm just a teaching assistant. Don't praise me. And I can act. Who wants to teach?"

The man smiled bitterly, took the bun and left.

"Little handsome guy, do you still want to buy some?"

Seeing Qin Muchu standing there, the boss asked.

"This one just now?" Qin Muchu pointed to the direction where the man left.

"Oh, you said him. He is quite famous in our Hengdian. He is a student of Yanying. He has been working in Yanying after graduation. He just said what it was, assistant... yes, teaching assistant.

Every winter and summer vacation, I come to Hengdian to look for filming, and I don’t choose roles, and I am willing to play any tricks.

You say that this person is not comfortable being a good teacher, but coming here to suffer as a trick..."

Qin Muchu was walking on the road, eating buns in his mouth, thinking about the strange story of this "Teacher Zhang".

Walking and walking, unknowingly came to a magnificent group of palaces.

There are many group performers gathered outside the palace, both male and female, sitting on the floor.

It's almost July, the temperature is not low, and everyone is sweating under the sun, but they still don't want to leave.

"Uncle, what are they doing? They don't find a shady place to hide in such a hot day, why are they all around there?"

Qin Muchu came to a small shop, bought a bottle of ice water, and asked the boss.

The boss looked at Qin Muchu's outfit and age, and probably guessed his identity:

"Are you a student who travels here on vacation? No wonder you don't know about this place.

Did you see that palace?It's the big director Zhang Yimou filming in it, many stars are in it, what Gong Li, and Zhou Runfa, Zhou Jianlun, Zhou Jianlun, you know, heh heh heh, many young people like him, my son takes a nunchuck every day Shouting and beating..."

Qin Muchu saw that the boss was going astray as he talked more and more, so he quickly interjected:

"Director Zhang Yimou filming, what are they doing outside?"

The boss who was interrupted was a little upset, but seeing that Qin Muchu bought the most expensive ice "Pulse", which cost four and a half yuan, he endured it.

"Let's have a good dream and try our luck one by one. I want to stand around the door. If I am lucky enough to be spotted by Zhang Yimou, I can become a big star after playing a role."

The tone of the boss was very disdainful.

"Don't even look at what I look like? Was Zhang Yimou spotted? Where can I find the camera for real filming?"

The boss took out a pack of cigarettes and handed Qin Muchu one.

Qin Muchu shook his hand, "No."

So the boss put the cigarette in his mouth, took out the lighter and lit it.

He took a puff, exhaled thick smoke, and pointed at the extras with the cigarette in his hand:

"Look at those guarding the door, basically they just came to Hengdian not long ago."

"Oh? How do you know they all just came to Hengdian?" Qin Muchu asked curiously.

The boss laughed,
"It's not easy? Who among the old people in Hengdian doesn't follow the group leader, and runs to various crews every day to pick up plays, who has time to spend here.

If you don't make money, what do you eat and drink?Who pays the rent, water and electricity?

Only those who have just arrived, still holding the idea of ​​being famous, waiting outside the crew every day, they don't know that regular big crews are directly contacting the group leader when looking for group performers, this kind of "self-employed" people don't accept them at all , It's hard to say whether the quality is good or bad, the key is easy to cause trouble. "

Qin Muchu nodded thoughtfully.

Every place has its own rules of survival, and it is not easy to do any job.

"Hey, handsome boy?"

"Hey, what's wrong?"

Qin Muchu looked at the boss who was waving in front of his eyes, and at the same time kept looking up and down at his boss.

"How long do you stay in Hengdian? Do you leave after playing for two days or stay for a while?" The boss rubbed his hands and asked.

"Stay for a month or two, what's the matter?"

When the boss heard that Qin Muchu would stay for a month or two, his eyes lit up, and he stomped out the cigarette on the ground, smiling.

"Are you interested in filming? With your condition, you can't be a secondary player, but some crews sometimes need some special actors. At this time, you will come in handy."

"What's my condition? Why can't I be a part-timer?" Qin Muchu asked curiously.

I'm so tall and handsome, why can't I even be a trick.

The boss saw Qin Muchu's unconvinced, smiled and said:
"You don't understand. Your qualifications are too good. Don't you steal the protagonist's role as a sideshow? Especially you, you are almost 1.9 meters tall, right?"

"No, one eighty five."

"Hey, look, at such a tall height, it stands out even more. No other extra performer can stand beside you."

This is true. In 2006, the material life was not as rich as later. The average height of men in the Chinese Dynasty was less than 1.7 meters, and most of the actors were more than 1.7 meters.

Qin Muchu's height of 1.8 meters [-] can be regarded as standing out from the crowd.

"Then what do you mean by the special actor? The hero's kiss substitute, bed substitute?" Qin Muchu asked.

The boss looked at Qin Muchu in surprise, and made the mouth shape that started with "S", but still didn't swear.

"What are you thinking? You need a stand-in for that scene? You can't make enough shots, and you can't wait to make it [-] times, which will make the actress's mouth swell. Don't even give you money to do the filming, even if you spend money, they won't let you ah."

"So it's not a kiss substitute, a bed substitute?" Qin Muchu frowned.

"No!" The boss's tone was very affirmative.

In the next second, Qin Muchu turned around and walked out of the shop.

It's not a waste of time for kisses and beds.

"Hey, why are you so realistic, young man?
Playing the little boy who is maintained by a rich woman, who shows his face and has lines, grows hundreds of thousands a day!In a few days, I earned back the money I spent on traveling!
Hey, come and find me here if you want, from Monday to Friday, from nine in the morning to five in the afternoon..."

The boss's voice came from behind him.

Nine to five, weekends off?

Are you a special code or a civil servant work system?
Qin Muchu was even more angry, and hurried away.

Finally, he glanced at the crowd crowded outside the palace.

A person walked out of the palace, as if a boulder was thrown on the calm lake, stirring up thousands of waves.

Immediately a group of people surrounded him, chattering around him.

"No trick, no trick! Get out of the way, get out of the way! I called the security guard!"

The man's shout even overwhelmed the extras.

He cursed and broke away from the group performers, and the group performers returned to their original positions in twos and threes.

After a while, the lake calmed down again.

Qin Muchu suddenly wondered if the "Teacher Zhang" whom he had met before might also be in this group of people.

At first, I thought his story was quite bizarre, but looking at the dense group of actors, it seems that his story is nothing.

"This is Hengdian..." Qin Muchu murmured, and left slowly.
