Full-time actor

Chapter 10 [10] "Sacred Tree" and "Blind Well"!
  The next day, July 2002, 2.

Be famous early.

This is a famous saying from a senior in the industry, and Chen Yu understands it deeply.

Becoming famous at the age of 40 and becoming famous at the age of 18 are two completely different concepts.

And if you want to become famous, working on a film crew is the wisest choice now.

Fortunately, the total number of film and television production bases in the Imperial Capital is much greater than that in Hengdian; especially in 02, Hengdian has not developed as rapidly as in later generations. Many movies and CCTV prime-time blockbusters are filmed in major film and television cities in the Imperial Capital.

At 4:[-] in the morning, Chen Yu was awakened by the hotel's alarm clock. In an era when mobile phones were not popular, many hotels had their own alarm clocks.

After brushing his teeth and rinsing his face, Chen Yu ran towards the Beijing Film Studio.

He had no idea his parents were following him.

The early spring of February was still a bit scary. Fortunately, the Beijing Film Studio was not far from the Imperial Film Academy, less than a kilometer walk, and it was right at the back door of Nortel.

The reason why I got up so early is because the crew usually starts work at 8 o'clock. Chen Yu is not famous at all now, so he can only act as an extra. To put it harshly, he is just a bit player.

In his previous life, he worked for nearly 10 years.

Therefore, he can be said to be very experienced in this industry.

Regardless of whether it is a horizontal drift or a northern drift, the extras must arrive at the designated location 2 hours in advance, so the extras must be in place before six o'clock.

In order to be selected by the crew, the extras must wait at the entrance of Beijing Film Studio early. The earlier they go, the more opportunities they have.

When Chen Yu was doing Beidiao in his previous life, he basically got up at 3 or 4 a.m. every day. There were no buses early in the morning, so he had to walk.

Looking back to this day, it can be said that it is difficult to describe it in words.

Starting at around 4 o'clock is already quite a luxury for Chen Yu now.

The place where his dream in his previous life began was at the old Beijing Film Studio.

The main reason why this place has become a recruitment point for Beipiao extras is because it is the earliest film studio in China and is very famous in the film circle.

However, after the reform of state-owned enterprises, Beijing Film Studio has been getting worse year by year. Today, it has not been able to shoot a movie in two years. However, the place at the entrance is becoming more and more prosperous; at around 4 o'clock every day, countless people gather here. "Aspiring young people" who want to become stars!
  The reason is that when Beijing Film Studio first started recruiting extras for a movie, they would shout at this door.

Over time, this place became a default recruitment place for extras, and the first stop for countless young people with movie dreams was here.

It has become a habit and a generally accepted rule in the film industry for everyone to gather together for such performances.

There are more than ten famous film and television bases in the entire imperial capital, and there are even more crews filming every day. It is impossible to recruit extras from all over the street. There must be a place for the crew to come.

Since the 80s, the entrance to Beijing Film Studio has been the place where the Imperial Film Crew recruits extras.

When Chen Yu rushed to the entrance of the Beijing Film Studio, he had already seen countless men and women in slightly shabby clothes, squatting, eating or standing around the open space at the entrance of the Beijing Film Studio. Some were eating breakfast, and some were gathered around. Chatting together.

There are also several breakfast stalls.

Chen Yu had really not seen such an atmosphere for a long time. He had not done this kind of work for a long time. He did not expect that he would have to do it again after his rebirth.

But his current state of mind is undoubtedly completely different from that in his previous life.

After spending 2 yuan to buy breakfast, two steamed buns and a bowl of soy milk, Chen Yu squatted there and ate quickly.

There was a guy in rustic clothes next to him, but he took out two Wowotou from his arms, wiped them on his body, and gnawed on them with his white teeth.

Chen Yu didn't take him seriously at first. After glancing at him, he looked away.

Because such people are so common in Beipiao. Many children from poor families who are not good at studies learned that they can make money by acting as extras, so they joined the big crowd at the gate of the old Beijing Film Studio.

These people are often very able to endure hardships, but not many can be promoted to special contract, let alone become famous.

But Chen Yu felt more and more that something was not right in his mind. He always felt that this guy looked familiar, which made him couldn't help but look up a few times.

Looking at it, Chen Yu swallowed a mouthful of buns that almost choked him to death.

"Fuck?"

Chen Yu rubbed his eyes and once again confirmed whether he had seen correctly.

That’s right, Wang Baoqiang!
  It's really him.

If it weren't for the recognizable face shape, Chen Yu almost didn't recognize her with her small body and legs.

Too thin, completely different from the image of the rough guy in later "The Octagonal Cage".

This kid was also trained in martial arts in the Shaolin Temple. I didn't expect that at the age of 20, he would grow up to be so small, like a little boy.

"Brother, how long have you been here?"

Chen Yu touched Wang Baoqiang and asked subconsciously.

Wang Baoqiang glanced at Chen Yu and spoke with a strong Central Plains accent: "5 years!"

"..."

Five years later, are you still an extra in front of the Beijing Film Studio?
  Baidu Encyclopedia is indeed a lie. Didn't it say that Wang Baoqiang only became an extra when he was 20 years old?

I only worked for 2 years, and then "The Blind Shaft" became an instant hit, and "A World Without Thieves" became a household name? Damn it, I actually believed it in my previous life.

If Chen Yu had known in his previous life that Wang Baoqiang was still at Beijing Film Studio after working for 5 years, he would never have followed in his footsteps.

Chen Yu had to sigh that Baoqiang still had perseverance.

It has been 5 years. Most people would have stopped working long ago, but he is still persisting.

"Didn't you sign a group leader or join the crew?"

Chen Yu suddenly asked, and Wang Baoqiang was a little surprised now. He thought that the handsome guy next to him was coming here for the first time. After all, new people come to the entrance of Beijing Film Studio every day. Chen Yu looked unfamiliar at first glance, and he was wearing the same clothes. Not bad, just like a student.

Unexpectedly, this kid is quite understanding?

"I don't want to sign!"

As Wang Baoqiang said, Chen Yu was just about to continue asking, when a sudden thought flashed through his mind.

But for a moment, he couldn't remember what it was.

This idea came very suddenly, but I couldn't grasp it.

This is a bit uncomfortable!

"what is it?"

Chen Yu was almost scratching his head. He just stared at Wang Baoqiang, which made Wang Baoqiang feel a little scared.

Is there something wrong with this guy?

I'm not clean?

Wang Baoqiang checked and touched his face.

With just this one movement, Chen Yu slapped his thigh violently, and he knew.

"Blind Well"!
  Wang Baoqiang hasn't filmed "The Blind Shaft" yet, right?
  It may be that director Li Yang has not yet approved the project for this movie. Chen Yu checked so many news yesterday and did not see any news about this movie. Of course, it is also possible that "The Blind Shaft" is not famous and Li Yang did not ask reporters to report it at all. .

But these are not important. Chen Yu has to confirm the start of filming of "The Blind Shaft".

This is very important to him.

It's not that Wang Baoqiang didn't take the role now, Chen Yu wanted to cut off Hu.

He thinks that the current Wang Baoqiang is more suitable for the role of Feng Ming, the dual male character in "The Blind Shaft" than he is.

Although actors can play many roles and span all kinds of extremes, not even a Grand Slam actor dares to say that they can take on any role in any script due to their compatibility and suitability.

Of course Chen Yu can play Yuan Fengming, a 16-year-old boy who doesn't know anything and is still in the world, but Wang Baoqiang's natural weak feeling that doesn't need to be molded in front of him is more prominent in this role than him.

If Chen Yu were the director, he would not choose himself, but would give the role to Wang Baoqiang in front of him.

Actors have to serve the script and the role.

The reason why Chen Yu wanted to confirm the relevance of "The Blind Well" was that he knew that "The Blind Well" was adapted from a book.

It seems to be called "Sacred Tree"!
  In his previous life, Chen Yu heard from an industry insider that Li Yang, the director of "The Blind Shaft", read this book among the piles of literary magazines in the Chaoyang Library after staying in the imperial capital for a year.

Then, he bought the copyright of this book at a very low price of 1 yuan.

Before and after, three days did not arrive.

"No matter what, I have to confirm the copyright of this "Sacred Tree"!"

Chen Yu didn't want to intercept Hu and Wang Baoqiang's role, but he wanted to intercept Hu's copyright to "The Blind Shaft".

This is much more important to him than a role.

Because in "The Blind Shaft", in addition to the role of Wang Baoqiang, Chen Yu is more interested in the role of the male lead Song Jinming.

Li Yang will definitely shoot "The Blind Shaft"; if Chen Yu has the copyright, then this male lead can definitely be discussed.

Thinking of this, Chen Yu felt hotter and hotter in his heart.

Right now, he really had the urge to rush to the Internet cafe to check the copyright of the book "The Divine Tree".

Fortunately, he endured it.

"Although this kind of thing is urgent, there is no difference between morning and night!"

If the copyright of "Shenmu" is sold, then Chen Yu's search now will be useless; if it is not sold, it is not a day or two away. Chen Yu thinks that it will not be so unlucky. It is today, so the copyright is sold, right?
  "So, let's go to the crew first to get familiar with it before we talk!"

"Come back tonight and check out this "Sacred Tree"!"

Chen Yu made a plan in his heart, and heard the familiar sound of a van braking.

Chen Yuke was very familiar with this voice.

Leader of the group, here we come!
