Full-time actor

Chapter 42 [42] The King of Troubles!
  "Come on one?"

Bian Xiang took out a pack of soft Chinese from the inside of his wallet, took out a cigarette and handed it to Chen Yu.

Chen Yu waved his hand: "Thank you, I won't smoke!"

"Aha?"

Bian Xiang was obviously very surprised: "As an actor, you don't smoke?"

"The character needs to be able to smoke!"

Chen Yu explained, and Bian Xiang smiled a little: "Do you know how to act?"

He expressed his doubts. How could a person who doesn't usually smoke act out the feeling of smoking?
  "Here, give me the cigarette!"

Chen Yu pointed to Bian Xiang's trouser pocket. Inside was a pack of Honghe, which Bian Xiang smoked on a regular basis; while the soft Chinese inside his wallet was for the occasion.

"Do you like to smoke Red River?"

Bian Xiang handed the Honghe cigarette to Chen Yu and lit it for him.

Chen Yu held it with his fingers, put it in the corner of his mouth, and sipped it; the next second, a complete smoke ring spit out from his mouth.

It wasn't over yet. Chen Yu held it between his fingers and middle fingers, held it in his mouth and took a deep sip.

call!
  The smoke instantly sprayed into Bian Xiang's face. Bian Xiang hurriedly patted it with his hands and said with an incredulous look on his face: "You...don't you know how to smoke?"

This posture is like that of a long-time smoker. It seems that he secretly smoked in the dormitory behind the back of his father and teacher when he was in junior high school at the age of 14.

"Indeed not!"

"I'm acting!"

Chen Yu put out the cigarette and held it in his hand.

"..."

Bian Xiang felt that Chen Yu must be joking: "Acted?"

"Yeah, I acted!"

"Impossible, you look like you're going to smoke!"

"Then did you see any cigarette on me?"

Chen Yu patted his pocket, and Bian Xiang was speechless. How could a regular smoker not carry cigarettes with him?

"Then your acting looks so similar!"

"How did you do it?"

Bian Xiang doesn’t quite understand!
  Doesn’t it mean that in order to play a role well, an actor needs to experience the role?
  Obviously you have to experience smoking before you can smoke it!
  "Observe!"

“Observe and then imitate, you can do it too!”

Of course Chen Yu was talking nonsense. In fact, he had smoked in his previous life, but he had sworn not to smoke in this life.

There is no benefit, smoking is harmful to health!
  "No wonder the director values ​​you so much!"

"Brother, you are really amazing. You can act like one even if you smoke!"

Bian Xiang's words were definitely not flattering Chen Yu.

He had just been chatting and laughing with Jana Shahati without any restraint, and Bian Xiang actually saw it all.

Such a scene was completely unimaginable to him.

Not to mention knowing the director, it was almost impossible for him to even talk to the director; but Chen Yu was talking the whole time, and it seemed that the female director valued him very much.

The key point is that a few days ago, Chen Yu was an extra actor who took on a role for the first time. In just a few days, he has become so familiar with the director?

Of course Bian Xiang would not believe the rumors from the past few days.

He actually saw everything Chen Yu did.

Is this something that ordinary people can do?

Bian Xiang has been involved in the imperial capital's group performance circles for so many years, and to be honest, this is the first time he has encountered such a divine person.

When he was on the set just now, he thought he was going to get out.

It was Chen Yu who directly convinced the extras with just a few words, and then passed the director's shot.

Although Bian Xiang doesn't know much about filming, he can still tell the difference between good and bad.

It was filmed by Chen Yu and his group of extras. It was completely different from the previous one.

Just 3 minutes!
  The movement of the extras has undergone a qualitative change.

Bian Xiang didn't know how Chen Yu did it, but he knew that Chen Yu was really capable.

It's not comparable to ordinary group performances.

That's why he stayed here specifically, waiting for him to come out.

It wasn't that he wanted to know the reason, but he really wanted to ask Chen Yu to help him.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Chen Yu took the cigarette butt and rolled it between his fingers. Bian Xiang looked at it and then said a little embarrassedly: "Brother Chen——"

"Just call me Xiao Chen. Brother Xiang, you are much older than me!"

Chen Yu smiled quickly.

"One code equals one code, I really want something from you!"

"Oh?"

Chen Yu actually guessed what Bian Xiang asked him to do. After all, he had been in this circle for half his life in his previous life.

As long as Bian Xiang has some brains, he should come to him.

Facts have proved that Chen Yu is very accurate in judging people.

Bian Xiang is indeed a bit clever.

"That's right, can I ask you to help me teach my group of extras?"

"It's like that just now. Many newcomers don't understand. I'm afraid it will happen to me again. Then where can I find rescuers like you?"

Seeing that Chen Yu wanted to speak, Bian Xiang hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Brother Chen, I will definitely pay you!"

"Make a price!"

"As long as I can afford it, I will definitely pay it!"

Bian Xiang was afraid that Chen Yu would not agree, but Chen Yu answered simply: "Okay, of course there is no problem with training, but I... have requirements!"

"what?"

"You...you agreed?"

Bian Xiang wanted to fawn over, but he immediately shrank back. He never expected that things would go so smoothly?
  "As requested!"

Chen Yu emphasized again.

"Yes, I agree!"

Bian Xiang was so excited, but Chen Yu smiled: "I didn't even say what I wanted, you're a fool to agree!"

"You tell me, if I can do it, I will definitely do it!"

"First, find me a place to live!"

"no problem!"

Bian Xiang's chest clapped loudly: "Wrap it around me!"

After saying that, he leaned in front of Chen Yu and said with some embarrassment: "Is it okay to... Huairou? The rent in Huairou is cheaper, but the living space is spacious and absolutely comfortable; the city is expensive and not good..."

"Okay!" How could Chen Yu not know the little Jiujiu in this boy's heart, who just dislikes the high rent in the city?

Although housing prices in the Imperial City have not yet started to soar in 02, rents in the city are already very expensive, ranging from 1000 to 2000 a month, and rising to 3000+ within the second ring road.

And Huairou only needs 200.

And the stay was pretty good.

"But you have to give me a car, I have to go to the city sometimes!"

"Give!"

Bian Xiang threw the van key directly to Chen Yu: "Drive it as you like!"

"I said when you need it, not now!"

"Then when you need me, call me anytime, I'm here for you!"

"Well, this is the first condition!"

"The second condition is that I can train group performers, and I can also lead them with the group, but if I have something to do -"

"You come first!"

Bian Xiang also agrees.

He was already grateful that Chen Yu came to teach him, so how could he dare to ask for anything else.

Of course, people have their own things to do.

"Okay?"

Bian Xiang felt that he could agree to both conditions.

"There's a third one!"

"and also?"

Bian Xiang's face drooped a little.

"The third one is how much salary are you prepared to pay me?"

"I told you in advance, I'm...very expensive!"

Just kidding, he has more than ten years of experience as a senior group actor, and is good at all kinds of stand-ins, special effects, and stunts.

Moreover, it is also a very mature group performance system in later generations. In the group performance circle, this is definitely the "King of Actors"!
  Which film crew wants to have someone like Chen Yu on board? How much shooting time and cost will be saved?
  "Then...make a price!"

"It's...too expensive and I can't bear it!"

“The temple is too small!”

Bian Xiang was immediately silenced by Chen Yu's expensive words.

"Is this all you have?"

"Do you still want to recruit all the big crews in the Imperial Capital?"

"I?"

Bian Xiang pointed at himself: "Stop dreaming, a copy of "Toward the Republic" almost made me wet my pants, and it even touched the entire imperial capital!"

"That's because you didn't meet me!"

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, you only have to be responsible for shaking people off from now on!"

Of course, Chen Yu doesn't just want to be a "group acting teacher". The entire group acting market in the imperial capital is also a very big piece of cake; moreover, if the group acting is done well, it can also make a lot of connections.

But he didn't have the energy to do this.

Therefore, Bian Xiang's initiative to ask for help fell into Chen Yu's plan.

It's better to choose the day than to hit it. Let's just observe Bian Xiang first. If we can really cooperate and monopolize the group performance market in the imperial capital, it will be a very awesome thing.

Don’t underestimate these extras. In any movie or TV series, the protagonist is of course the most important; but to enrich movies and TV series, this group of people is definitely indispensable.

They are just as important as the supporting characters.

The supporting role is green leaves, then they are the soil, nourishing flowers and green leaves.

This is the real big game in Chen Yu's heart.

"300, daily settlement!"

Chen Yu finally reported a number. Bian Xiang gritted his teeth and finally said, "Okay, let's try it out for two days first!"

"..."

Chen Yu gave him a middle finger.

"Hahaha, you said it's a day job, and you're very busy, so let's come for two days first!"

"There are three more scenes in "Toward a Republic" tomorrow. You have to help me get them done!"

"It's easy. Help me find a place to live first. I can't even afford to live in a hotel every day!"

Chen Yu told him and his father's situation, and without saying a word, Bian Xiang pulled Chen Yu into his van and drove straight to the hotel.

"Oh, by the way, I still have your salary contract for "Toward the Republic". You didn't go to collect the money. If Wang Chang asks me to meet you, I will give you the money first!"

1000 yuan, Chen Yu's salary for "Toward the Republic".

"Then give me 1300 later!"

"Remember to ask Wang Chang which three scenes will be filmed tomorrow. I will teach you directly in the evening, saving you the trouble of having to shake people early in the morning!"

"Find someone good tonight. If the director doesn't praise you tomorrow, come find me!"

"Ok?"

Bian Xiang, who was driving the car, turned his head. He didn't understand what Chen Yu meant.

"Stop it. Tomorrow, you will know how much a bargain it is to pay for 300 yuan for room and board every day!"

"Fuck, when did I promise you room and board? Isn't it just room and board?"

Bian Xiang braked suddenly, but Chen Yu pretended to open the door: "Then I... get out of the car?"

"No, no, no, brother Chen, I'm just kidding, I'm just kidding you!"

Bian Xiang stretched out his hand in an extremely flattering manner and stopped Chen Yu from driving.

Of course Chen Yu was just pretending: "Two copies, and my dad is here too!"

"I am Nima!"

"If there's anything else, can you just say it all at once?"

Bian Xiang cried with a sad face: "I'm scared, really!"

"No more, no more this time!"

Chen Yu leaned on the passenger seat and closed his eyes.

"Really gone?"

"If I say it's gone, it's gone!"

"That's good--"

"Oh, and there!"

creak-

The car stopped immediately and stopped on the side of the road.

Bian Xiang looked like he wanted to eat someone, so Chen Yu casually opened his eyes and said calmly: "Tomorrow, I want to use the car!"
