"Get a few good-looking ones. You, you, you … Come here! You go to the back. We'll talk about it next time. " The young assistant director started to pick the actors as soon as he got off the car. He kept looking around the crowd and called out to those who were suitable. Those who were not suitable would be rejected even if they tried to squeeze through.
Of course, the people he chose would have a chance to show their faces. Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen their image.
Soon, the young assistant director picked a few people to get on the car and said to the others, "There will be a bus with eighty people coming from behind. Eighty people will act as the national army and the Japanese soldiers. Those who think they are fit and can run can get on the bus themselves! This is a tough scene. It will take a few days to shoot. Those who can't stand it, don't come! "
Hearing that there was still a chance, hope burned in the disappointed crowd again.
However, it wasn't easy to get eighty extras with so many people. The ratio was too small.
"Brother Yu came to pick the actors himself. I have a few brothers here who haven't been on film for a few days. Can you bring a few of them?" Someone who was familiar with the young assistant director appeared.
They didn't hide their relationship. The young assistant director nodded. "How about this, keep an eye on them later. Bring eighty of them! Don't let them get on the bus. I still have something to do. I have to go back to the set first. I need to talk to these people in the bus. "
"Okay! Don't worry about me here! "The moment he finished speaking, the people around him started to give him cigarettes and flatter him.
After all, it would take a few days. Once they were chosen, it meant that they didn't need to do anything else for the next few days.
Just as the young assistant director called Brother Yu was about to leave, he accidentally saw Jiang Zixue. He was surprised that there would be someone wearing Versace's new fashion this year among the extras.
Because he had given it to his girlfriend before, he could tell at a glance that it wasn't a fake. It was the real deal.
"You, come here!" Assistant Director Yu shouted to Jiang Zixue.
However, a newcomer like Jiang Zixue didn't know anything. She thought that the assistant director was talking to someone else. Fortunately, Lu Bing beside her reminded her, "He's talking to you!"
Only then did Jiang Zixue come to a realization. She looked at the assistant director blankly. "Me?"
"Yes, you. A newbie, right? You have a good image. Come and get in the car. I'll arrange for you to play the role of a war nurse. You should be able to memorize a few lines! "Assistant Director Yu said.
The crowd was filled with envy. A character with lines would definitely have to show their faces. As long as they performed well, they might even be able to stay in the cast and film!
"Sure." Of course, Jiang Zixue wouldn't refuse a role that fell from the sky.
"Then get in the car!" Assistant Director Yu said.
"Can she come with me? I think she has a good image." Jiang Zixue held Lu Bing's hand. "Can we go together?"
Lu Bing looked at Jiang Zixue in surprise. This newcomer really didn't know the rules. Who did she think she was? He actually dared to pick his own people.
"Good! Get in the car! Quick, we have to go! "Assistant Director Yu agreed.
Lu Bing was really flattered. She hurriedly urged Jiang Zixue to get into the minivan. After the two of them got into the minivan, it was already very crowded. The assistant director quickly drove to the filming location of the film studio.
Assistant Director Yu had already started talking in the car. "You've filmed war dramas before, right? Do you know what the role of a war nurse is?"
"I haven't filmed it before, but I know." Jiang Zixue said. "I've watched dramas before."
"That's good. Let me tell you. In a while, the two of you will be like this. One on the left and one on the right of the bed. For example, this is the bed." Assistant Director Yu started talking about the scene. "The main character is on the bed. He's very weak and is about to die. Then, on the left, you will give blood to him. On the right, you will treat his wounds …"
Jiang Zixue and Lu Bing quickly nodded.
"Then, there will be an explosion. The bomb will fall on the medical team." Assistant Director Yu pointed at Lu Bing and said, "You will jump onto the main character and use your life to protect him. Then, we can wrap up."
Although the role would die in a while, Lu Bing was still very excited. After all, she could directly interact with the main character.
"Then, it's your turn." Assistant Director Yu continued to talk to Jiang Zixue. "You will grit your teeth and save the main character. That's the scene. Understand?"
"Understood!" Lu Bing said excitedly.
Jiang Zixue said, "Then, can I save her after saving the main character? After all, I'm a doctor …"
"You're really a newcomer who hasn't filmed a scene before, right?" Assistant Director Yu looked at Jiang Zixue and said.
Lu Bing quickly signaled Jiang Zixue to stop talking nonsense.
Assistant Director Yu saw that Lu Bing had some experience, so he said, "Tell her the rules!" Then he went to tell the others about the scene.
Lu Bing whispered in Jiang Zixue's ear, "Don't say your thoughts in front of the director. Also, don't talk to the other actors. The director's nerves are very sensitive! Also, don't add lines casually. Unless you can get to the level of a special agent, then you won't be scolded by the director. Otherwise, you'll definitely be scolded to death. "
Jiang Zixue stuck out her tongue. "I just think that it will be more realistic. I'm a doctor. I can't just save the main character and ignore my colleagues."
Hearing Jiang Zixue's stubbornness, Assistant Director Yu said again, "Who do you think you are? How long do you think the camera will be on you?!"
Jiang Zixue didn't say anything this time. She knew that she would get into trouble if she spoke carelessly.
"Let me tell you, the actors I want have to obey me! If you have too many ideas of your own, you can leave now, "Assistant Director Yu said.
No one in the car dared to say no. Each one was more cooperative than the other. They were very obedient.
"Okay, since you have no problems, then don't disappoint me," Assistant Director Yu said. "This scene still needs to be filmed for a week. At least, if you perform well, there won't be any problems for a week."
"Then won't she die after saving the main character?" Jiang Zixue didn't understand.
"She's in a nine-camera position. Her face won't be captured. So, even if she dies, she can continue filming." Assistant Director Yu said, "Newcomer, I think you need to study before you start filming."
Jiang Zixue stuck out her tongue. She didn't want to come. It was him who chose her. Now, there were so many problems. She was really speechless.
"Don't talk so much. Listen more and learn from the director." Lu Bing hurriedly said to Jiang Zixue. Although she was a little disappointed that the camera couldn't capture her face, this was still a rare opportunity. She must seize it.
Jiang Zixue nodded. Although Lu Bing was just an extra, she was still a senior to her. She knew a lot of things that she didn't understand.
This was also the reason why Jiang Zixue proposed to bring Lu Bing along. She felt that Lu Bing's mindset was rare in the entertainment industry.
"You all have to seize the opportunity. I chose you because you have good images," Assistant Director Yu said. "Especially you, a newcomer who has never acted before. Don't disappoint me and the director. Otherwise, the opportunity won't fall to you in the future."
"I understand." Jiang Zixue nodded. She was very excited to have such an opportunity. At least, it was not arranged by Xu Yun. She fought for it with her own image.
The van soon took Jiang Zixue to the set. After arriving, she realized that the conditions of filming were really difficult. Even if she changed clothes, she had to change in a very simple cloth shed.
Moreover, the clothes of the crew were really a little shabby. It was like the wedding clothes in the wedding dress shop. They looked good, but the quality of the cloth and the quality were really bad.
Although it was early in the morning, the crew was already preparing for all kinds of work. The director didn't seem to be the kind of person who had a good temper. From time to time, he would yell at the staff.
To be honest, the atmosphere made Jiang Zixue feel quite nervous.
About an hour later, the shooting began. The scene was dusty. Jiang Zixue felt quite helpless. In her situation, she would have no problem acting in an idol drama or something, but she unexpectedly had to act in a war drama. Haha, God really arranged it.
But since it was the first scene in her life, Jiang Zixue didn't want to have any regrets. Even if it was just two simple lines, she still wanted to do her best!
