Chapter 1
In the scorching summer, the warm wind is blowing, the sun is baking the earth, and even the air exudes a strange heat.

It was almost noon at this time, Xiao Jian was sitting with a dozen or so extras on the crew of "Big Wharf" in Hengdian Film and Television City, sitting listlessly under a few small trees with crooked necks to enjoy the shade, waiting for the next scene to start filming.

"Sword!"

A fat middle-aged man walked towards this group of people, this person was their group leader Li Yonghao.

Hearing a familiar voice, Xiao Jian raised his head lazily and asked, "Brother Hao, is there something good?" There was not much enthusiasm in his words.

"That's a must. In the next scene, I'll find you a three-second close-up character. How about it? Thank you bro?"

Xiao Jian was unmoved, and asked directly: "How much more?"

"Hey, I said you boy, can we not talk about money, can we still have some artistic pursuits? How can someone who is going to be a big star keep his mouth shut about money?" Li Yonghao said earnestly.

Xiao Jian was unmoved, he ran for more than three years, experienced several audition failures, his dreams had already been worn down by the reality, and the most affordable thing was to earn money in his pocket.

Three years ago, in order to reduce the burden on the family, Xiao Jian took the 300 yuan borrowed by his mother to take the college entrance examination, and a change of clothes, and secretly embarked on the road of part-time work.

Coming out of Ningshi Railway Station, Xiao Jian met Li Yonghao, a fat, kind-faced, dark-bellied, middle-aged man who was very depressed at the time.

"Want to be a star?"

Shaking his head, Xiao Jian is an honest boy, he doesn't believe in the fact that there is a pie in the sky.

"Want to get rich?"

Shaking his head, the reason is the same as above.

Li Yonghao finally found someone who didn't call him a liar, and didn't want to give up, so he said: "Handsome guy, I'm a staff member of the crew of the TV series "Angel of Life", and I still need a few extras, please help me, thank you very much." do."

"Do you have any money?"

"thirty?"

"Let's go."

"Wait a minute, we have to recruit a few more people."

Next, Li Yonghao continued to pull people, but he either regarded him as a liar or had no interest.Half an hour later, except for Xiao Jian who felt that he had nothing to be deceived, no one was recruited.

Seeing Li Yonghao's increasingly anxious expression, Xiao Jian asked him why he was so anxious to recruit people?
After hearing Li Yonghao's explanation, Xiao Jian realized that the reason why he was in such a hurry was because his competitors (that is, other group leaders) were trying to punish him, and when the filming of the TV series was about to start, they suddenly paid a high price to get his subordinates The group performers pulled him away, leaving him unavailable.The crew is about to start filming, and they have signed an employment contract with the crew. If they can't bring the extras in time, they will lose a lot of money.

"Do you want to be a celebrity all by yourself? Do you want to make a fortune? It scares everyone away. It's up to me to recruit talents."

Xiao Jian shouted loudly, "The TV series "Angel of Life" created by a huge sum of money was filmed in this city. Do you want to experience the fun of filming and have close contact with big stars? If you have one, sign up quickly, the number of seats is limited, first come first served Where is it!"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a crowd of responders, and people participated enthusiastically, which solved Li Yonghao's big problem at once.

From then on, Xiao Jian followed Li Yonghao into the promising profession of extras.And Li Yonghao also regarded Xiao Jian as his younger brother, and he was determined to find a chance for him to be in the top position.

Has Xiao Jian ever dreamed of being a star?
At the beginning, I really thought about it, and bought a lot of books on this topic, and read them out when I had time.In the crew, whenever I have free time, I carefully observe the performances of actors and stars.

Under the arrangement of Li Yonghao, he participated in three interviews for small roles in the crew, but all failed without exception.This also made Xiao Jian realize the reality, he felt that he was not that material, and gave up his thoughts of being a star, and he was serious about his noble group performance work.

"There are always these two sentences back and forth. There is nothing new. No wonder Brother Hao, you can only be a small group leader with dozens of people. Look at those big group leaders, such as Brother Nabao, Brother Nahang, Zhuang Is your brother a few years later than you in this 'promising' industry? Now that they have assembled a team of hundreds of people, how about you?" Xiao Jian looked like he hated iron for being weak.

"Five yuan, brother can add five yuan to you, don't hit brother."

"Ten yuan is the same price."

"You are a lion, open your mouth. If I give you ten yuan, I will make a fart. Five yuan at most."

"Forget it, you'd better let me die first. If I die early, I'll get away early, so I won't delay my search for celebrity autographs."

"Brother Hao, if Brother Xiao doesn't act, I'll act. As long as there are close-ups, you won't be charged a penny." said Xiao Zhang, who had just arrived and was dreaming of becoming a star.

"Brother Hao, let me act, as long as I have a close-up of my face for three seconds, today's wages are gone, and I will add two packs of Furong Wang." Xiao Zhang's little partner is not far behind.The two scrambled to be the first, and they didn't care whether they would offend Xiao Jian or not, as long as they got the chance, they would talk about it.

Xiao Jian and a few veteran cast members sneered at the impatient newcomers, would they be famous for a few seconds of close-up?But he didn't say anything, this kind of person with the dream of being a star will not turn back unless he is beaten to death.

"Go, go, go, while you stay, I said, what's the matter with you?"

Of course Li Yonghao wants to take advantage of this kind of thing that can be taken advantage of, but there are some things that not everyone can do.

"Ten yuan is ten yuan. I can't let my brother lose the chain later."

Xiao Jian grinned, "I'm doing things, don't worry."

After a short wait, it was the turn of Xiao Jian and other actors.

This time they are playing the gangster's killer, chasing and killing the actor Wen Alu played by Wu Qilong, and being turned back to kill him.

Within an hour, a dozen or so extras were killed one by one, and the filming of the scene was completed.

When it was Xiao Jian's turn to take a close-up shot, he saw, Damn, actually want to lie in a cesspit?
Well, not really a cesspit, but a mud pit.

The executive director Tao Ling was quite virtuous, and poured two buckets of yellow paint into it.The effect is really great, except that it is not smelly, it is really no different from a cesspit.

"Brother Hao, Brother Hao." Xiao Jian called Li Yonghao loudly.

The relationship between the group performer and the crew is very unequal. If the group performer has an opinion, you can only go to the group leader. It is useless to find the crew members. Opened, there is no place to reason.

"Brother Xiao, you can't let me lose the chain at this time!" Li Yonghao walked over with a bitter face, also dressed in the costume of a gangster killer, for fear that Xiao Jian would quit, but he had received "heavy" money, I can't afford it.

Xiao Jian pulled Li Yonghao aside: "It's not that I don't want to shoot, the paint was poured into the muddy pit, I just want to ask who pays for the cleaning fee for the clothes?"

"Nonsense, of course it belongs to the crew, what does this have to do with us?"

"I mean my personal clothes."

Li Yonghao looked Xiao Jian up and down. He was wearing a thin green shirt and black trousers, without additional clothes inside. In this hot day, it was hard for him to have a cooler outfit. Forgive him for not wearing more clothes to make trouble.

"You... what private clothes? All over your body, except for a pair of underwear, what else is yours?"

Xiao Jian grinned and said: "Brother Hao is wise, he really has a sharp eye, that's right, it's **, plus ten yuan for cleaning the clothes, I'll take it, little brother."

When Li Yonghao heard that this guy wanted to add more money, he became anxious, and roared in a low voice: "Just your two yuan a street stall, are you willing to ask me to pay ten yuan?"

"That's not what you said, brother, what a coincidence, I just had an appointment with a beautiful woman today, and I bought a good one specially for more than 20 oceans." Xiao Jian said, stretching out his hand to untie his trousers, "If you don't believe me, I'll take it off for you to see. , you can see the quality and you will know that what I said is not a lie."

"Fuck you, if you want money or not, you can figure it out. Brother, is it easy for me to earn some money? A big family can rely on my little money for food."

"Then who, I said, do you want to go? If not, I'll change."

Seeing that the two of them were arguing for a long time and couldn't get it done, the drama manager over there shouted. "It's unforgivable to let the director and Brother Long wait for so many nonsense things like this."

"Come on, right away." Li Yonghao replied quickly.

Seeing that Xiao Jian would not go without giving, he was not in a hurry and looked like a rascal.

"Damn it, why did I recruit you as the ancestor, and ended up working for you, five yuan, and another five yuan, isn't it, ancestor?"

"reluctantly."

"Get out!"

"and many more."

Xiao Jian ran to an empty corner, took off his trousers, took off his pants, folded them and handed them to Li Yonghao.

"Two dollars is money, take it for me."

Li Yonghao was disgusted, put it in his clothes pocket, and kept cursing: "Bitch! Bitch!"

Because the headshot scene has already been taken, Xiao Jian, who is in neutral, only needs to take the scene of lying down.

Xiao Jian lay directly in the mud pit, with pain, horror, disgust, and lifeless expressions on his face.

Li Yonghao nodded secretly. Apart from Xiao Jian not caring about learning acting skills and always running to find big stars to get autographed photos to earn extra money, he is pretty good in other aspects. Whether it's a car crash, eating shit or lying in a cesspit, there's nothing he won't do.

Not only is he capable, but he can also do it beautifully, act well and satisfy the director.

For this alone, Xiao Jian is a few blocks away from other extras, and his appearance fee is much cheaper than that of a full-time martial artist. He has a good reputation in Hengdian, and there are high-difficulty scenes.Li Yonghao made a lot of money just from the intermediary fees of borrowers.

Director Tao Ling took a look at Xiao Jian, feeling that something was missing, after thinking about it, she took a bucket of blood plasma and fell on Xiao Jian's head.

"Yes, that's it, hold on, don't move." Tao Ling was very satisfied with Xiao Jian's performance, this trick is quite professional.

"Keep your mother, it's all poured into my ears, if you get an infection, it will cost a lot of money, then I'm not at a loss?"

Xiao Jian cursed at the female director in his heart, but his expression remained the same except for a little more anger, because he knew that this time he didn't shoot well and wasted time. And be scolded.

"Crack! It's over."

Xiao Jian "resurrected" in an instant, jumped up and tilted his neck to push the paint out of his ears.

At the end of the morning scene, Xiao Jian took off his paint-stained and muddy costume, wiped it with a towel, and put on the clothes that Li Yonghao handed over.After receiving the lunch box, he said to Li Yonghao, "Brother Hao, please take a leave this afternoon."

"Which big star are you looking for to sign?" Li Yonghao rolled his eyes at Xiao Jian, "Jianzi, take care of the audition that my brother told you, if you can successfully play a role, your path will be wider in the future , you will have a chance to become famous in the future.”

The audition Li Yonghao mentioned was to interview a small role in a low-cost movie.

"Understood, Brother Hao, I will do my best and won't let you down."

Xiao Jian knew the gap between himself and those who came out of those majors, but he didn't want to say something frustrating and disappoint Li Yonghao.

"It's good to know, I hope you will make money for me when you become popular."

Li Yonghao's mouth is always so stinky, Xiao Jian was finally moved a little, and the atmosphere was immediately destroyed by him.
