Chapter 5 This girl is really good looking Wang Baoqiang's side job was working as a laborer on a construction site. Xu Kun had also undergone labor reform in his previous life. The two of them were swinging their shovels and pickaxes until they were almost leaving afterimages, and soon they had cleared a piece of flat ground on the slope. Xu Kun wiped the sweat off his face while leaning on his pickaxe. He wasn't tired at all, but it was mainly because the weather was hot and humid. He would be soaked all over if he exerted any effort. Wang Baoqiang was no less impressive. He rolled up his vest into a bikini and wiped the sweat off his belly while muttering, "I wonder if our crew has prepared mung bean soup." At this time, someone at the bottom of the slope said, "There's more than just mung bean soup, there's also a pot of iced sour plum soup. Unfortunately, it's specially prepared for the hero and heroine, as well as the people of Hong Kong Island." Following the sound, I saw a rough man in his forties with an unshaven beard standing at the bottom of the slope, fanning himself vigorously. "Uncle Wang." Baoqiang greeted him respectfully and wanted to go down to talk to the other party. It seemed that this person should be the martial arts director Wang Peng mentioned by Xu Xuebin. "You go about your business." Wang Peng raised his fan and said, "Just ask the big guy next to him to come down. I'll assign some tasks to those who want to show up first, and then we'll talk about your job later."
"That works." Baoqiang stopped and said with a mouthful of white teeth, "Uncle Wang, this is the first time my friend is an extra. Please bear with me." Wang Peng raised the fan in his hand again to show that he understood. Xu Kun jumped to the bottom of the slope. Wang Peng looked down at his feet and said, "Boy, your lower body is quite stable." Xu Kun also imitated Bao Qiang's grin and said, "The lion dance I learned in elementary school is only good at the lower body." Hearing the difference in the words, Wang Peng smiled knowingly, then led Xu Kun out of the woods. After walking a dozen steps, he looked back at Baoqiang who was busy laying the mats. He couldn't help shaking his head: "Baoqiang is a potential martial arts director, but unfortunately he is a little too ambitious." This time it was Xu Kun's turn to smile and not answer. To be honest, if he didn't know Baoqiang's future development prospects, he probably wouldn't believe that this unprepossessing little stunt double could really become a big star in the future. When we got outside the woods, we found three toilets surrounded by nylon cloth. One was labeled "Men", one was labeled "Women", and the other was labeled "Director's Only". Seeing these three toilets, Xu Kun inexplicably thought of the line "hermaphrodite has a rotten butt" in "Justice, My Foot". Wang Peng gathered the three extras who were smoking together, put away his fan, put it behind his neck, and stretched out his hand and said, "Come, let's shake hands." Two of the three extras were confused, and only one understood what Wang Peng meant. He stretched out his hand and put his wrist against Wang Peng's wrist - it was obvious that the two were just tall and strong, and had not learned kung fu systematically. The moment their wrists touched, Wang Peng pretended to push hard, and when the actors subconsciously tried to resist, he suddenly removed his strength. The extras exerted too much force and leaned forward unconsciously. They hurriedly used their backs to stabilize their bodies, but Wang Peng pushed them and they staggered a few steps and almost fell to the ground. It seems that I have only learned the basics. Wang Peng didn't give the other two extras any chance and started explaining the play directly. After listening to his general description of the plot, Xu Kun was surprised to find that the male lead of the play was actually a ten-year-old child, and this was also a costume love comedy with one dragon and two phoenixes, enjoying the happiness of having two wives! The general plot is about a young master who was studying in another place. Because his brother passed away suddenly, he hurried back home under the protection of a beautiful bodyguard. After experiencing all kinds of hardships, he finally found out the truth about his brother's death and won over his future sister-in-law and the beautiful bodyguard. It was a happy story. Wang Peng and Xu Kun are going to play a group of bandits who are ordered to intercept and kill the young master on his way to the funeral. After listening to this, Xu Kun was envious and puzzled. Who was this little horse pulling a big cart filmed for? Was it to encourage primary school students to work less for 30 years?
This can only be attributed to his ignorance. In fact, many similar films were made at the beginning of the century, such as "The Nine-Year-Old County Magistrate", "The Young Imperial Envoy" and "The Loyal and Brave Young Scholar", and the ratings were quite good. "After the second female lead gets off the car and shows up, I need someone to help me set the stage. Just one line, and you guys try it one by one." Wang Peng cleared his throat, a lewd look appeared on his stubbled face, and then he said excitedly: "Boss, this little girl is really pretty!" Hearing that they could get a line, several extras including Xu Kun were excited. The two who had just shown their weakness were even vying to make a comeback. "Boss, this little girl is so pretty!" "Boss..." "...This little girl..." Xu Kun thought it was a simple line, but after watching the three extras perform it one after another, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. Perhaps because they all had similar life experiences, the performances of these three people were almost the same, the only difference being whether they were a little more greasy or a little more vulgar. Xu Kun felt that if he just followed the script, it would probably be the same. This was not the result he wanted. After a moment's hesitation, Xu Kun also tried to put on a wretched face, slightly bent over and said excitedly: "Boss, this little girl is really good-looking!" Wang Peng raised his eyebrows and commented: "His face is a little stiff, but his emotions are much more vivid than others - but your words..." Xu Kun smiled awkwardly and scratched his head, "It's my fault, it's my fault. When I thought of Miss Xu, I accidentally mixed up the words." "You boy." Wang Peng laughed at first, then murmured, "But that girl is really pretty." Then he nodded and said, "The lyrics are well changed and the emotions are on point. I'll choose you." Then he patted Xu Kun on the shoulder and said, "Go find a mirror and practice again. If your face is still so stiff, don't blame the director for changing actors." Xu Kun was excited and depressed when he heard this. This was his first time as an extra and he got a line. This should have been a double happiness, but this comment with a stiff face... He had resolutely entered the film and television industry relying on his ability to "change faces" and his knowledge of some future hit movies. How come half of his two pillars had collapsed on the first day? Xu Kun was very upset about this. If Wang Peng had not started to talk about the play and practice the moves right away, he would have definitely looked in the mirror to find out what the problem was immediately. After he started to practice, he finally understood what it meant that there is no free lunch in the world. "Because you were so lecherous earlier, the female bodyguard got the upper hand and chased you and beat you up. She slapped you in the face first, then kicked you out. Not satisfied, she wanted to kick your balls to pieces, but you raised your hand and scattered some lime. When the female bodyguard was hiding from the lime, she was attacked from the side by the bandit leader played by me, who cut her arm, which put her at a disadvantage. She could only fight and escape, which eventually led to the plot where the young master saved the situation with a revolver. " You know what, this plot is quite reasonable. But being slapped by a woman... Forget it, it’s just acting, not being beaten by a woman. Putting aside the issue of being slapped in the face, this fight scene was not very difficult. Wang Peng's requirements for Xu Kun and others were as follows: be arrogant when appearing on stage, be fierce when pouncing on others, be exaggerated when being beaten, and be panicked when running away. As for the rest, just don’t hurt yourself or others, especially don’t hurt the heroine. "She is a top student at Beijing Film Academy and is going to be a big star in the future!" After Wang Peng and Xu Kun practiced twice, they clapped their hands and said, "That's about it. We can adjust the rest on the spot. You guys should figure it out first." After watching Wang Peng walk into the woods, fanning himself, Xu Kun turned around to ask the extras who had brought a small mirror, but was met with three unfriendly gazes.
He envied the ten-year-old kid's good fortune, and weren't these three extras jealous that he stole his lines? Xu Kun smiled and raised his eyebrows, his eyes white with murderous intent: "Why, brothers, do you want to get closer to me?" The six eyes on the opposite side met his fierce gaze, and one of them fell silent, and each of them became a quail. Only then did Xu Kun retract his magical powers and walked towards the crew not far away with squinted eyes. At this time, there was another horse-drawn carriage near the minibus, and several staff members were busy around it. It seemed that they were preparing to shoot the literary dialogue in the carriage first, and then shoot the scene of bandits blocking the road and robbing. Xu Kun found Chen Xuebin in the crowd and was ready to borrow a mirror from him. He also wanted to tell him about how he had snatched the lines so as to further deepen his impression. When I got closer, I found that Chen Xuebin was looking sad and sighing. "Brother Chen, what are you doing?" "It's Xiao Xu." Seeing that it was Xu Kun, Chen Xuebin helplessly spread his hands and said, "Director Sun wanted to change the play at the last minute, so he got into a fight with Miss Xu, who played the second female lead." It turns out that the female bodyguard is not the first female lead, but the second female lead. "Change the play? Change what play?" Xu Kun asked curiously. Chen Xuebin looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he gestured in front of his chest and whispered, "Director Sun said that this part of the plot was not interesting enough, so he wanted to change the stabbing in the arm to a cut in the clothes, revealing the bellyband underneath. In order to avoid exposing herself, the heroine had to cover her chest with her hands, which is why she was at a disadvantage with only one arm." (End of this chapter)
