It has been two months since Wang Baoqiang came to the capital.
He squatted under a big tree in front of the Beijing Film Studio, waiting for the crowd to come and select extras.
These two months allowed him to understand the rules of being an extra, and also understood the gap between extras and big stars, but he still persevered.
He is much more clever than he was at the beginning.
There is also a distinction between extras.
Some extras have a foundation and regularly follow a certain group leader to eat, so they don't need to wait here, just make a phone call when there is filming.
Wang Baoqiang belongs to the extras of the Running Order Gang, and has not yet found an organization.
It takes a lot of skill to take advantage of the opportunity, and he learns it quickly.
For example, the position where he is squatting now is not far from the door of the film studio, and after the group leader appears, he can rush up to recommend himself as soon as possible.
If you can't squeeze in, once the group finishes picking out the actors, there will be no part for him.
At first, he didn't know how to sell, he just stood outside stupidly, the group leader was not interested in him, and he had to find a clever extra.
After a few days of observation, Wang Baoqiang mastered the trick.
He is small and has a lot of strength, and it is easy to squeeze in, so he got several opportunities to act, but they are all small roles like passerby A, and there are few frontal shots.
He has played many roles, but no one has asked him to play martial arts.
In China, the martial arts in the film and television industry are organized, many of them are from national and provincial martial arts teams, and there are also martial arts schools in various places.
You say that you are a lay disciple of Shaolin Temple, do you have a certificate from Shaolin Temple?
Besides, martial arts are dangerous, and regular crews generally look for experienced martial artists for fear of accidents.
Only that kind of small crew will find extras to make up the numbers in order to save money, and the extras are paid low and are easy to dismiss, as long as they are not seriously injured or killed, give one or two hundred yuan and it's over.
Wang Baoqiang heard the group leader say that there was a crew to shoot today, so he ran over early in the morning and waited.
This is normal, sometimes there is no filming for a day.
At ten o'clock, the group came.
The surrounding extras surrounded them, enthusiastically promoting themselves, and some handed cigarettes to the group leaders and said kind words.
The group leaders used to be extras, but they have flexible brains, social skills, good relationships with the staff of various crews, and their own connections.
Although you have to keep your voice down to the crew, you still have to keep a high profile in front of the extras.
The group smoked cigarettes and looked at the extras around them, feeling a sense of satisfaction in their hearts.
He originally had a dream of being a star, otherwise he wouldn't have come to be an extra, but now that his dream has long been shattered, it's good to be the head of the group with peace of mind.
If you can blend in with the drama and become a drama manager, it is equivalent to having a formal job.
His path to promotion is from group head to drama, not from extras to star.
There are a few of the more than 100,000 extras in the country who can become famous, the probability is too low, and it is more practical to be a drama.
Comfortably smoking a cigarette and enjoying a while of envious eyes around him, he lit a few familiar faces from the crowd, including Wang Baoqiang.
The leader of the group remembered that this young man was obedient and did whatever he wanted, and he didn't pick or choose.
"You said that you have practiced martial arts, and there is a fight today, be clever next to you, maybe it will be your turn to play."
The head of the group reminded.
If the group performer he found can play martial arts, he can also draw more money from it.
"Thank you, Brother Liu."
Wang Baoqiang thanked.
This is a costume drama, not a martial arts drama, and there are not many martial arts scenes.
The officers and soldiers played by Wang Baoqiang fought with other officers and soldiers, and ran a few tricks, he understood that this did not require martial arts, it was just a fake fight, and the knife in his hand was a prop, and he couldn't hurt anyone at all.
After filming this paragraph, the group found Wang Baoqiang, and there was a scene for him to play.
This scene is very simple, that is, falling down from a ladder, the actor felt dangerous and was unwilling to act, so he had to find an extras as a stand-in and fell a hundred yuan at a time.
Wang Baoqiang can only get thirty yuan a day as a small soldier, he looked at the ladder that was two people high, and nodded.
He changed into an actor's costume, stood on a ladder, took a deep breath, and rolled down.
When he got to the ground, he felt that there was a lot of pain on his body, it should be injured, even if he was a skilled martial artist, he would not fall so straight, and there was always something to cushion underneath.
Wang Baoqiang has no experience, the small crew doesn't care about this, as long as the people are okay.
"The fall was real."

The director commented.
The group leader helped Wang Baoqiang up and sat down on the side, he didn't expect this young man to fall so much.
After filming, Wang Baoqiang took the bus back to the rental house, and his harvest today was 110 yuan, and 20 yuan was the group's commission.
"Baoqiang, how is it today," the fellow greeted.
"Okay."
Wang Baoqiang grinned.
He won't talk about being a martial arts star anymore, he knows it's still far away for him.
The money he brought has long been spent, and the income from being an extras can't maintain his daily life.
When he had no money, he went to work on the construction site, and when he had the money, he went to squat at the gate of the Beijing studio.
Although it has only been two months, he has already tasted the hardships and hardships of life. chatting with other extras on weekdays, everyone is not hopeful about the future, Ge You has been running tricks for many years, but he has a relationship in the Beijing entertainment industry.
It's not easy for an extra, who has no relationship and no acting skills, to become famous.
Wang Baoqiang was lying on the bed, with a faint pain in his body.
With this more than 100 yuan, he doesn't have to worry about his living expenses in the past few days, he plans to go to the film studio tomorrow to squat, maybe he has another chance.
He is not afraid of hardship, but he is afraid that there will be no opportunity to act.
In the evening, Wang Baoqiang went out to eat, it was the kind of clear soup noodles with two pieces of Wuyi bowls, which didn't taste very good, but they were not too full, and there was free chili sauce.
There was a fourteen-inch television in the snack bar that was playing a show called Dialogue.
A man named Han Han, who was just seventeen years old, wrote a novel and earned hundreds of thousands, and others kept persuading him not to write novels and to go to school.
Wang Baoqiang felt very incomprehensible, he couldn't understand what the experts said, it was hundreds of thousands.
He falls off a ladder for a hundred bucks, and he finds himself living in two worlds with the people on TV.
At the end of the show, Wang Baoqiang saw Lin Zixuan.
He knew that Lin Zixuan was the owner of a film company, and the group had mentioned this person, with adoring eyes, and was proud to know Lin Zixuan.
If Lin Zixuan stands at the top of this circle, then the extras are at the bottom of this circle.
Wang Baoqiang felt that what Lin Zixuan said on TV made sense, and he would come to see Han Han in ten or twenty years, and he believed that he would be different in ten years. t1706231537:
