Full-time actor

Chapter 15 [15] No, have you ever been an extra?
  Koji Ishino, a Japanese professional.

However, he is more remembered as the future host of Mango Channel's "Tian Tian Shang Shang".

Chen Yu remembered that this guy played the role of Emperor RB Meiji in "Toward a Republic".

The scenes are quite heavy.

"Hello, do you speak Japanese?"

Ishino Koji seemed very polite, smiled slightly at Chen Yu, and spoke less proficient Chinese.

At this stage, he must have just come to China to develop, and he is very humble.

"うん,できる! [Yes, yes!]"

Chen Yu answered directly in Japanese.

The middle-aged man next to him raised his eyebrows, and Ishino Koji also shrugged: "Introduce yourself to してもらえますか? [Can you introduce yourself?]"

"もちろん、private Chen Yue と神します. Su Cheng から来ました... [Of course, I am from Sioux City...]"

Chen Yu introduced it skillfully, his expression very calm from beginning to end.

"Ok, ok, okay, okay!"

After listening for a while, Ishino Koji immediately stretched out his hand to signal Chen Yu to stop talking.

He pointed at Chen Yu at the middle-aged man beside him, then raised his thumb, and then said: "Very good, he, he speaks Japanese very well, great!"

In fact, middle-aged people also heard it.

He has been observing since Ishino Koji asked Chen Yu just now.

To be able to answer questions so confidently and fluently, it goes without saying that he must have a good command of Japanese. However, he was still a little worried and asked Ishino Koji: "Can you hear the accent? Is it the accent of our Chinese people?"

"Listen...can't hear it, completely-completely, listen...can't hear it, at least I didn't hear it just now!"

"It's...very pure!"

Hao Er couldn't say the word "pure" yet, so it was a bit hot on his tongue; but the middle-aged man understood it and seemed a little surprised.

"Are you... studying Japanese?"

the middle-aged man asked.

Chen Yu shook his head: "No, I am an art candidate and I taught myself Japanese!"

"Oh?"

This time the middle-aged man seemed a little surprised.

Art candidates? You actually taught yourself Japanese?
  "Nortel, Zhongxi?"

"Still taking the exam?"

"Take all exams!"

Chen Yu thought about it and realized that he really couldn't hang himself from a tree. He would definitely have to try the first audition for the drama in a few days.

Many art candidates apply from numerous schools together. If Nortel is not selected, there are other schools as backup. Therefore, every year's art exam, art schools such as China Theater, Nortel and Shanghai Theater are not from the same school. sky.

The purpose is to give art candidates multiple choices; and every year, China National Theater is a few days later than Nortel.

The preliminary examination for this year's Chinese Opera Art Examination is on the 25th.

There are 4 days left.

Chen Yu didn't forget it.

In his previous life, he was actually like many art candidates. In addition to Nortel Chinese Drama, he applied for Communication University, Shanghai Drama, etc.

But without exception, they all failed.

In this life, Communication University has failed. Its first examination was years ago; to go to the theater, he has to go to the magic city. Therefore, among the schools Chen Yu can choose at present, the only ones left are Nortel and China Theater. Others such as He is not planning to go to the School of Broadcasting and Drama.

"Then you're here to experience filming with the crew in advance?"

The middle-aged man looked at Chen Yu with interest. It was not that he had never received art candidates before, but the feeling Chen Yu gave him was different from those people.

He is more pragmatic and has sincerity in his eyes.

Unlike the previous art candidates who visited the Grand View Garden with Grandma Liu, they were curious to look around. They were not here to film at all, but to have a sense of déjà vu to inspect their future working environment.

"No, I'm just here to be an extra and experience it and make money at the same time!"

Chen Yu said half-truthfully.

As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged man was unexpectedly upset.

These days, there are not many art candidates like Chen Yu.

"Haha, let's go!"

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My surname is Wang. I am the manager of this crew. Do you understand the manager?"

Wang Lai said there, and Chen Yu nodded: "Yes, the person in charge of daily affairs of the crew!"

"Oh, you have indeed done your homework!"

"I see, the RB shooting will take a few days. You have never done any group acting, so you should get familiar with it first!"

Although Wang Lai said this, Chen Yu understood it very clearly.

Although it is true that he can speak Japanese, which may be lacking in the crew, they still have requirements for the ability of group actors.

This sounds nice to make him familiar with it, but in fact it contains elements of testing him. If Chen Yu's ability in group acting is OK, then he can move on. Otherwise, even if he can speak Japanese, he may not get the role.

After all, the drama "Toward a Republic" is different from other dramas.

It should be the highest investment in the history of historical dramas so far, with a scale of nearly 5000 million. To be honest, Chen Yu was shocked when he found out the news.

5000 million!
  In 02, that was definitely a big investment.

If the management hadn't made a lot of money in the past two years with "Yongzheng Dynasty" and "Qianlong Dynasty", they wouldn't have continued to increase their investment.

Therefore, such a crew, which can be called the biggest name of the year, must have high requirements for supporting actors.

And if Japanese lines are used, it must be a character who shows his face.

Even if he is just an unknown passerby, he must at least act like that.

At least you can't screw it up.

Otherwise, Chen Yu would be scolded for being a minor offender, and Wang would be unlucky when he came to this place.

Chen Yu could see that Wang Lai was initially satisfied with him, but as a field manager, it was always right to be cautious.

"Let's go, let me introduce you to someone first!"

"Then I'll hand you over to him. I'm not usually responsible for extras!"

Wang Lai said to Chen Yu, and then said to Ishino Koji: "Koji, please!"

"Wang Chang, what are you talking about? This...how can this be trouble!"

Ishino Koji speaks average Chinese, but he has a good grasp of Chinese people and worldly ways.

The three people walked out of the backstage. Wang Lai asked Ishino Koji to go back first, and he took Chen Yu to a place that Chen Yu was very familiar with in his previous life - the filming studio!
  Right now I should be filming an interior scene.

But before it started, the leading actors were reading their lines seriously and discussing with the director; this showed the difference between the Republic crew and other crews, or in other words, the crews of later generations.

In future generations, the leading actor should be resting at this time.

After the filming was finally finished, or before filming started, the actors would either catch up on sleep or touch up their makeup. To be honest, Chen Yu rarely saw such heated discussions.

This is something that only professional actors will do. Stars will only ask their assistants to fan the air and hand out food.

"Xiao Guo, Xiao Guo!"

Wang Lai shouted there, and soon the young man who had just brought Chen Yu into the backcourt came trotting over.

At this time, you can see the difference between this product before and now.

In front of the field affairs, he didn't look as impatient as before, and his attitude was very low: "Wangchang, what's going on?"

"Give him a job and get acquainted with him for a few days!"

"Okay, wrap it on me!"

"He is the field assistant, just call him Guo Tou!"

Wang Lai pointed at Xiao Guo, and Xiao Guo immediately said to Chen Yu: "Guo Chenyu!"

"Guo Tou!"

Chen Yu shouted, and Guo Chenyu chuckled: "Well, come with me, let's change into costumes first!"

"While changing, I will tell you what to pay attention to when performing as an extra!"

"The person you are going to play later is a Japanese, all you have to do is cheer!"

Guo Chenyu took Chen Yu to the crew's prop room. There was a long queue at the door, and countless extras lined up to receive props and costumes.

But Guo Chenyu took Chen Yu directly to the master who distributed the props: "Old Li, get me a suit of clothes!"

"Just wear it here!"

Guo Chenyu handed the props and costumes to Chen Yu. Chen Yu put them on without saying anything. This efficiency stunned Guo Chenyu.

Several extras nearby who were watching Chen Yu's jokes were also stunned.

Chen Yu looked like he was new here. He...he didn't think the props and costumes smelled bad?

"what happened?"

Chen Yu glanced at Guo Chenyu, who looked surprised. The smell on the costume was a bit offensive, mixed with the smell of sweat and body odor.

"nothing!"

"Work hard and I'll tell you the rules for group performances!"

Guo Chenyu was a little unsure about the Chen Yu in front of him. He originally thought that Chen Yu's first reaction after receiving the props would be disgust.

Unexpectedly, he didn't react at all and just put it on directly.

And it's fast.

"No, have you ever been an extra?"

Guo Chenyu couldn't help but ask.

"Yes!"

Chen Yu smiled harmlessly, Guo Chenyu raised his head, and all the extras in costumes and props next to him also looked at him.

This guy has been an extra, didn't he tell me earlier, why is he playing Guo Tou? !

　The timing is wrong...wipe
