Chapter 14 [14] "Toward a Republic"!
  Of course Chen Yu had been to Feiteng Film and Television Base in his previous life, but not now.

He obviously didn't know which film and television base was good at the beginning, so he only worked with small crews. After two years of drifting in Beijing, he came here for the first time.

And the job he took wasn't a job for a big crew, because Feiteng had actually started to decline at that time.

The current 02-04 years should be its last glory.

After 03, Feiteng was acquired by Qin Hong, the owner of the famous entertainment club "Heaven and Earth" in the imperial capital, and became Xingmei Film and Television City.

Only three years later, in 3, the state took action and turned this place into a corner of Huairou Film and Television Base.

At this point, the largest film and television base in the north was born.

Hengdian in the south and Huairou in the north are here.

"Lao Yu, you take them to the set of "Ji Xiaolan" first, and I'll take them to "Toward the Republic"!"

After getting off the car at the entrance of Feiteng Film and Television Base, Bian Xiang spoke to the driver, who then shouted to the group of extras and walked towards the south area of ​​the base.

Chen Yu and Bian Xiang were heading to the North District on the other side.

Of course, the current Feiteng is not as grand as Huairou in later generations, but there are also many attics and groups of ancient buildings.

The North District where Chen Yu is going is a studio and living area, mainly used for indoor shooting. It is the main filming location for TV series such as "The Gate of the Mansion", "Toward the Republic", "Eternal Dragon Sword", and "Huanzhugege 3".

The southern area is an outdoor scenic area, mainly imitating the buildings of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, including streets, courtyards, restaurants, teahouses... temples and city walls of various specifications, as well as Jiangnan water towns, northern towns, and imperial gardens. All houses are decorated in the style of Made from logs using ancient methods, they are so lifelike that they look fake and real.

Moreover, there is also the only real-life replica of the "Taihe Hall" in the country, which definitely cost a lot of money.

"Have you been here?"

Seeing Chen Yu following him, he was not at all curious about the surrounding environment, not to mention looking around, not even looking around.

It's like I've been here many times.

This is so strange to Bian Xiang. Not to mention the extras who come here for the first time, even if he has nothing to do, he will hang out here. In fact, this place is really good. If it is developed, it will definitely become a tourist attraction. Scenic spots.

Chen Yu didn't even bother to answer him. Let alone Feiteng, even Huairou in the future, he had measured every corner, and there was nothing new about it.

"You are indeed different from those art candidates!"

Bian Xiang now somewhat believed what Chen Yu said just now.

He had brought several art candidates before, and they felt like they were in paradise when they came here. Some even brought their cameras, as if they were on vacation. This was the first time he had seen someone as calm as Chen Yu.

The two of them just chatted together, with Bian Xiang talking and Chen Yu listening.

Soon, they arrived at a Republic of China-style interior location. There were red cordons hanging there, obviously informing everyone that filming was going on inside and they were not allowed to enter at will, and there were people guarding the door.

"Wait here for a moment, I'll make a call!"

Bian Xiang took out a mobile phone. Although mobile phones had become popular in 02, they were still luxury items.

The cheapest one costs two to three thousand.

It can be seen that Bian Xiang, the leader of the group, is indeed quite profitable.

"Hello, Brother Wang?"

"I'm the leader of Brother Du's side. I heard that we need an extra who can speak Japanese?"

"Yes, yes, I happen to have one here..."

"Yes, I can speak Japanese!"

"How dare I lie to you? I'm waiting in the backyard of the set!"

"..."

Seeing the way Bian Xiang nodded and bowed, Chen Yu guessed that the person on the other end of the phone had a high position in the crew of "Toward the Republic".

Otherwise, a group leader would not be so humble.

"I'll let you talk later, then you can talk!"

"Did you hear that?"

Bian Xiang explained there, how could Chen Yu not understand the reason and nodded: "I understand!"

"Well, as long as you understand!"

Bian Xiang thinks that this guy Chen Yu is quite discerning, but he seems to be quite arrogant?
  "Who can speak Japanese?"

A young man suddenly walked out of the backyard of the crew. He glanced at Chen Yu and Bian Xiang, and finally settled on Chen Yu: "Do you know Japanese?" "Yes, I can!"

"Hello, I'm Du Ge——"

"Did I ask you?"

"I'm asking him!"

The young man didn't even look at Bian Xiang and pointed at Chen Yu.

Bian Xiang was embarrassed, but he could only suppress his inner depression. It was too common for these big crew members to use chicken feathers as arrows.

"Come with me!"

The young man spoke to Chen Yu, and Bian Xiang hurriedly said: "Hello brother, what's the salary?"

"As long as he can stay, don't worry, you will be indispensable!"

After saying that, the young man walked in the direction he had just come out. Chen Yu did not listen to this guy and follow him immediately. Instead, he glanced at Bian Xiang. Bian Xiang was a little relieved and made a gesture to Chen Yu to hurry up. .

Chen Yu then hummed and followed the young man.

"This kid is pretty good!"

Bian Xiang touched his nose and couldn't help but stretch. Waking up early every day was actually quite tiring for them.

"I hope I can be selected, this one is worth more than ten!"

Professional extras, even in 02, could not earn 20 yuan a day; like the big crew of "Toward the Republic", once the important person is confirmed, it is absolutely impossible to default on the salary.

That's the benefit of a big crew.

Of course, this is only limited to the past few years. After a few years of capital coercion, investment bankruptcies abound, and that will be the end of the group.

Insignificant group leaders like Bian Xiang were the first to die in battle.

……

Chen Yu followed the young man from the crew of "Towards a Republic" and walked around to the back of the crew.

During this period, he saw several studios filming. Because he was walking in a hurry, he didn't see which actors were there. However, there were many veteran actors in "Toward the Republic", and Chen Yu didn't dare to say that his acting skills were better than theirs. Because some of them are really awesome.

For example, Mr. Ma Shaohua, who plays Mr. Sun Yat-sen, the founding father, is almost synonymous with the founding father; but in "The Age of Awakening", he played another Cai Yuanpei.

There is also Lu Zhong, who plays Cixi, who is also awesome. She is the best version of Wu Zetian in "Di Renjie".

The Wu Zetian played by others lacked the overbearing demeanor of the empress.

In addition to them, of course there are Teacher Wang Bing who plays Li Hongzhang and Teacher Sun Chun who plays Yuan Shikai. He is also the best actor in Golden Rooster.

too much too much...

This is also the reason why Chen Yu spent a long time choosing and finally chose this one for his first role in the drama.

It's not that he wants to get a role, it would be better if he could get it, but more, he feels that it is the first step in his rebirth as an actor. Being able to participate in such a TV series is the most ideal one in his mind. Start.

"Wait here and don't wander around. Someone will come to interview you later!"

The young man said and left directly, leaving Chen Yu alone in an empty set room.

If this room is not filming, the extras often come here to take a nap.

Chen Yu slept with him many times in his previous life.

He touched the familiar mottled window lattice in the room, but heard several dense footsteps in his ears, as well as playful conversations.

Squeak!

The door was pushed open, and a man with a beard and an RB cardigan, and a middle-aged man with a big belly, stepped in the door one after another.

The man in the RB cardigan looked right through the costumes of the crew.

Chen Yu turned around subconsciously.

"Koji, that's him, try his Japanese skills!"

The middle-aged man said to Hao Er, the man in RB cardigan; Chen Yu's eyes could not help but shrink, because this guy named Hao Er was quite famous in later generations.
