Datang New Order

"Director Lu, there are only these people, and there are no more." Assistant Director Zhang, known as the "group leader", explained to Director Lu pointing to the twenty or so extras he brought over.The Zhuozhou film and television base is very large, and there are many crews filming here, and there is often a shortage of extras.

Director Lu frowned and looked at the twenty or so people in front of him, waved his hand speechlessly, and asked the makeup artist to take the make-up up.The scene he is about to start filming requires a large number of extras, and only half of them have been found so far. It seems that he can only discuss with the photographer and use the method of multi-lens and multi-angle shooting to render the number of people in the scene.

Li Chengzhong was brought in front of the make-up artist, and was soon tied up in a bun, tied with a chopstick, wrapped in a bridle, and powdered on his face.He was taken again to the dresser.The costumer took a look at his figure and ordered his assistant to take a large round-neck jacket and wrap it around him. After looking at his sneakers, he frowned and picked out a pair of Tang boots and handed them over.Li Chengzhong quickly tried it on, and as soon as his feet fit, he quickly made room for the next person to pick up the clothes.

As an unsatisfied extra actor, Li Chengzhong, like most ordinary people, is deeply obsessed with the movie dream he has woven.He fantasized about being spotted by a certain director, becoming famous in one fell swoop, and achieving a glorious life.But things in the world are not as expected, and Li Chengzhong, who has no special features in appearance, naturally has been struggling in the reckless group performance, without any chance to show his face.He has participated in dozens of film and television works, and the longest appearance shot is eight seconds, playing a dead Qing soldier. Unfortunately, his face was covered with thick pig blood, and the stench left a deep impression on him. My impression is that until now, he still feels sick to his stomach when he eats pork.

Li Chengzhong's failure is also reflected in his lines.In the past three years, he has only said one line. That time he acted as a servant and bowed down and answered "yes" respectfully.Although there is only his own back on the camera, he still downloaded the movie from the Internet with relish, watched his own back countless times, smirked, and then fell asleep happily, meeting countless fans in his dreams, and for them Signing autographs, talking in front of reporters, revealing one's preferences, singing loudly under the spotlight, attracting cheers from fans...

This is the unsuccessful extra actor Li Chengzhong, but he is not discouraged and discouraged, he is still busy in the Zhuozhou film and television base, sometimes he can't get a movie for many days, sometimes he is exhausted all day long.Many of the companions who came here have left one after another, but he has been looking for opportunities. He believes that God will not disappoint those who have a heart, and he believes that persistence and persistence can be exchanged for the day of his dreams.

In today's movie, a scene of an ancient war is to be filmed, and Li Chengzhong has to play the role of a dead body lying in the woods.In order to create the atmosphere of the battlefield after the fire attack, he and several group performers who also acted as dead bodies were allotted a simple paper smoke bomb, which would be lit on the battlefield according to the director's instructions.

Before the filming started, everyone was resting and waiting, and they didn't know which part went wrong, and they couldn't wait for the director's order for a long time.Li Chengzhong took a look and guessed that there would still be a while, so he greeted his colleagues next to him and went to the forest behind.Urinating is a little urgent, and I can't hold it anymore.

When the relaxation was over, Li Chengzhong walked back, feeling flustered immediately.Won't?What about people?So it's over soon?He looked around for a moment, but he didn't see anyone from the crew!He ran out of the woods in a hurry, and there was no one there!Just as he was wondering, he finally saw three people riding horses approaching in the distance, and he was certain in his heart, so he hurriedly greeted them.In today's scenes, the only ones with powerful props are Director Lu's drama.

When the two sides approached, the three riders reined in the reins, the horse's head stood up, and stopped on the spot. The three of them stood firmly on the horse, and their figures were very handsome.Li Chengzhong couldn't help but secretly praised: "Good equestrian skills!"

The leading rider leaned slightly from his horse, looked at Li Chengzhong, and asked, "Where is he from?"

"Ah?" Li Chengzhong was taken aback, but didn't react.

A rider behind said loudly: "Man Wuna, I ask you a question, answer quickly!"

Is this... being filmed?And... there are lines!Li Chengzhong was pleasantly surprised. He didn't know how the director arranged it. When will he, an extra actor, be able to play together?Could it be that I made a mistake?This is a good opportunity!He didn't see where the camera was, and he didn't dare to look, for fear of hearing the director call to stop.But how to answer this line?With a sudden change in my mind, I hurriedly cupped my hands and said: "Master Jun, the villain is a local."

Although he doesn't know the lines, as a senior extra actor with more than three years of acting experience, Li Chengzhong has seen a lot of costume drama shootings with his own eyes, and he also ponders a lot on weekdays.After finishing speaking, he still listened attentively, but he didn't hear the director call to stop, so he was even more happy at the moment.

The leading rider asked again: "A local? Where do you live?"

Li Chengzhong was a little dizzy, how to answer this line?But a living person can't be suffocated to death by urinating, and it's so easy to get such a chance to be photographed, so don't lose the chain!With an idea, he replied: "I don't have a home, so I just travel around."

A rider behind led his horse forward, and whispered to the lead rider, "Pan Rong, you seem to be a country ranger."

The leading rider nodded, and smiled at Li Chengzhong, showing his yellow teeth: "Since you are a local, seeing how strong you are, would you like to join the army?"

Li Chengzhong was so happy that he was about to pass out, blood rushed to his head, his face flushed with excitement, and he said loudly: "Yes!" Oh boy, these are three lines, many second- and third-tier professional actors don't have so many lines!What kind of shit luck did he, Li Chengzhong, have so many lines out of nowhere?The most important thing is that I didn't hear the director yelling to stop!What does this mean? It means that his play has been recognized!

"Let's go now, maybe we can keep up?" the leading rider stroked his horse's mane and asked.

Fourth sentence!Li Chengzhong got more involved in the drama, and bowed and clasped his fists again to salute: "Yes!"

The three riders controlled the horse's speed, and Li Chengzhong trotted behind. Only then did he have time to look at the three riders.The three of them were all dressed as cavalrymen, covered in black leather armor, but Li Chengzhong reckoned that it was probably blacked-out styrofoam.It's just that the quiver and bow hanging immediately are a bit exquisite. It seems that this movie really put a lot of effort into props.After observing for a long time, he suddenly woke up and ran down like this. Where is the camera?

On weekdays, when acting, he always circles the camera in a big circle, but now that he runs like this, he runs in a straight line, and he doesn't see the camera following him.He hurriedly looked around, but he didn't see the rest of the crew, so he ran out for more than a mile, and his heart began to beat.

After running for a while, seeing that it was two miles away, the three riders stopped their horses slowly, and the first one waited for Li Chengzhong to catch up, and laughed loudly: "It really is Hao Erlang, he can really walk!"

Li Cheng wondered where this is just now. He only joined the field of extras after retiring from the army. He used to carry a five-kilometer cross-country every morning in the army. Now he ran two miles empty-handed. A piece of cake.He took a breath but didn't bother to reply, just looked around, feeling more and more panicked.Where did the crew go?What about the camera?I never thought this place was so desolate before, not even a single person!

Moreover, where is there such a thick green grass on this ground?Finally, he found a big problem, there is no telephone pole!

On the land of North China, if there are the most things, there is only one answer: telephone poles!To say what is the least, there is also only one answer: grass!

But here he feels that there are few grass and green people.Although there are not many trees, there are more than ten or twenty trees, forming clumps of groves, scattered in the vast wilderness.There are no farmhouses, no field ridges, no human settlements, no villages... Li Chengzhong was in a daze.

The three riders rode their horses around for a circle, gathered together again, and beckoned Li Chengzhong to follow.Li Chengzhong jogged along in a daze, and after running for a few miles, he took a rest.Rest for a while, then continue to run.He is already a little confused, what is going on?What about the Zhuozhou base?What about the crew?What about village farmers?What about the telephone pole?What about the fields?Why did these all suddenly disappear?

Taking advantage of a pause, Li Chengzhong hesitated and asked the leading rider who had been called "accompanying the soldiers": "Where is this?"

The rider was taken aback: "Aren't you a local?"

Li Chengzhong shook his head and said, "I was born in Zhuozhou, but I grew up in Gu'an and never been here."

The three riders muttered a few words in a low voice, then laughed loudly, not knowing what was so ridiculous, Li Chengzhong was a little angry.He planned not to follow along foolishly, he wanted to go back and ask the crew what was going on.Just as he was about to say goodbye, he saw the guy who has always been called "accompanying the army" gesture to silence everyone, then took off the bow and arrow from the horse, bent the bow to the full moon, and with a "swish", an arrow pierced 30 meters away among the grass.A rider galloped over, leaned forward, picked up a gray rabbit with a feather arrow in it, and threw it back on the ground.

Li Chengzhong saw that the arrow was stuck in the root of the rabbit's hind legs, and the rabbit kicked its legs, but it was dead.The three riders all laughed, peeled their skins and lit a fire, and packed them up on the spot.Now Li Chengzhong's mouth was a little parched, he swallowed in a panic, thinking in his heart that something was wrong, he didn't dare to say goodbye again, but kept thinking about one thing repeatedly in his mind, this bow and arrow is not a decoration!

After eating a few pieces of rabbit meat thrown by the "accompanying the soldiers", Li Chengzhong continued on the road. He ran and thought about how to find a way to escape. The more he saw the three people, the less they looked like good people, and finally he had the courage to ask: "Where are we going?"

"Accompanying the Rong" rode on the horse and turned back: "Aren't you going to join the army? Just keep up!"

Li Cheng felt helpless in his heart, were these three people crazy?Still join the army?what happened?Could it be kidnapping?As soon as this idea came up, he shook his head secretly. One is that he is not a woman and child, and the other looks like he has no money. Why kidnap him?Although he couldn't figure it out, he still stopped slowly, trying to get away.But as soon as he stopped, the three of them slowly led the horse, without giving him a chance to turn around and leave.Looking at the bows and arrows and the horizontal knives pinned to the waist of the three of them, Li Chengzhong was very helpless and had to keep up again.

After a few miles, Li Chengzhong finally saw someone.It's just that these people are dressed the same as the three riders, riding horses in armor, with knives hanging from their waists or holding spears, and they shuttle back and forth in groups.

After crossing a hillside, Li Chengzhong opened his mouth wide and did not close it for a long time, his heart was like a turbulent wave for a moment, and he could no longer calm down.

A huge ancient camp stretching for an unknown number of miles appeared in front of my eyes!
