Chapter 1334 1436. Experience
Playing a passerby in a TV series is a great experience for people like Xiang Yixing and Li Xiaohe who have no formal acting experience.
Although the characters don't even have names, being able to show up in such a big production will also be a good topic when they are interviewed in the future.
Xiang Yixing has even imagined how to answer when the host interviews her.
"Miss Xiang Yixing, we all know that your first TV series is XXX, which achieved good results that year. What is the reason that gave you the opportunity to participate in the production of this TV series?"
Xiang Yixing can then wave her finger and correct: "Host, you are wrong. My first TV series is "Signal". I played such and such a role in it. If you don't believe me, look for it..."
Then the big screen on the scene will broadcast a few seconds of her guest appearance, and her fans will exclaim, wow, my Xiang Yixing actually starred in "Signal", it really is a good vision.
"Hahahaha."
"Hey, what are you laughing at?" Li Xiaohe glanced at the strange Xiang Yixing, and felt a little creepy when her companion suddenly laughed.
"Ahem, nothing, I was just thinking about whether I could add some scenes to myself later." Xiang Yixing came back to his senses, his expression was a little embarrassed, and he made up an excuse.
Unexpectedly, Li Xiaohe became energetic after hearing this: "If you have any ideas, tell me too, I want to add scenes too."
"Forget it." Xiang Yixing pushed Li Xiaohe aside with a headache, and was speechless about this stupid roommate. Why did he believe everything? Two passers-by, even the names of us may not be found in the cast list, and you still want to add scenes? You are asking for trouble.
Soon it was the turn of the two people to go on stage, after all, they were extra roles.
Originally, there were only two passers-by passing by, and now they were added. It didn't affect the picture much, it was a matter of passing by.
Of course, you can't just add people casually. Two or three is not too few, four or five is not too many, but if you add ten or eight people, it won't work. Too many passers-by will easily distract the audience's attention, and more than ten people squeezed into this alley will also appear abrupt and not in line with the environment.
This scene was shot five times. Of course, the NG had nothing to do with Xiang Yixing and Li Xiaohe. They just walked back and forth several times.
But when Nie Wei shouted "pass", the two girls were even more excited than Jing Boran and Li Binbin.
After all, this was the first scene for the two. Although they were not the protagonists, this "pass" also had their contribution.
"Wow, after our crew dinner tonight, let's go to KTV with Duoduo to celebrate." After the show, Xiang Yixing pulled Li Xiaohe and said, "After all, today is the 'first time'."
"Okay, I'll call Han Xiaojiao later and ask her if she wants to go." Li Xiaohe also agreed with the celebration. It was the first time to shoot a movie, so of course we had to celebrate. Life should have a sense of ritual.
But as soon as she mentioned calling Han Xiaojiao, Xiang Yixing's expression became a little angry.
"Why call her? Didn't you see her attitude just now? If she really comes, can we still have fun tonight? Or do you like being scolded by her?" Xiang Yixing complained.
Li Xiaohe was a little embarrassed. It was not right to take out the phone to call, nor was it right to put it back.
Of course, she didn't like being scolded, but Han Xiaojiao had taught him acting lessons, so Li Xiaohe didn't mind playing with her.
"It's not necessary. If we three play together, and Han Xiaojiao is left alone in the dormitory, isn't it not good?"
"What's the matter? She doesn't like to play with us anyway. Isn't she always alone when she goes to the cafeteria to eat? Don't worry about her." Xiang Yixing said indifferently.
Li Xiaohe thought about it, nodded, and put down her phone. In her impression, Han Xiaojiao is indeed the kind of person who is not very sociable. Thinking about Han Xiaojiao's mood when she left just now, Li Xiaohe felt that it was right not to invite her. She didn't want to be ridiculed and ridiculed at that time, which would be very uncomfortable.
The two found Zhou Duoduo and told her about singing KTV in the evening.
"Okay, I haven't been there for a long time. By the way, I have something to give you, ding ding!" While talking, Zhou Duoduo suddenly took out two red envelopes.
"What is it?" Xiang Yixing took the red envelope in confusion, opened it, and found that it was actually two hundred yuan.
Zhou Duoduo smiled and explained: "Of course it's the film remuneration. You guys are also paid for your guest appearances, 200 yuan each."
When she heard that it was a remuneration, Li Xiaohe, who was about to return the red envelope to Zhou Duoduo, immediately grabbed the red envelope tightly, because this was the first time she earned money through her own labor.
Xiang Yixing glanced at Zhou Duoduo, knowing in her heart that this was Zhou Duoduo's effort for them. You know, they were willing to act even if they had to pay for that kind of opportunity, and never thought they would get paid.
"Duoduo, thank you." Xiang Yixing put away the red envelope and thanked him.
"What's there to thank you for? You earned it through your own labor, and it has nothing to do with me. I'll help you get it in advance, so that you don't have to line up with the extras to get your salary later." Zhou Duoduo waved her hand and said casually, but Xiang Yixing's thank you really made her feel very useful.
People like people who know how to be grateful. I don't need you to repay me, but you can't forget the kindness you gave me. That's the truth.
Li Xiaohe on the side also hurriedly thanked him, then counted the two hundred yuan several times before happily putting it into her bag.
Two hundred yuan is not much for her, sometimes it is not even enough for a meal, but this is the first time she earns money from her own labor, she decided to keep it well, and then use it to buy a gift for her parents.
Li Xiaohe put the money away, suddenly looked at Zhou Duoduo, and asked curiously: "Duoduo, how much is your salary?"
"What salary? Just the salary for one scene." Zhou Duoduo couldn't help laughing when Li Xiaohe asked. Those who can meet the salary standard should at least be roles that can appear in the cast list. For them, extras and special guests, saying that they get paid will make people laugh.
"Please learn about the confidential salary system, don't ask about other people's salaries casually." Xiang Yixing reminded him.
Salary is something that does not count if you ask it actively, but if you ask others actively, it will easily cause embarrassment. If others have low income, they are afraid of being embarrassed to say it out, and if they have high income, they will worry about whether they give people the illusion of showing off.
In short, this is a taboo in the workplace. It is absolutely wrong to ask each other about salary. Even if the relationship is good, you should pay attention to this aspect.
"Ah, sorry." Li Xiaohe knew that she had asked the wrong question and apologized quickly.
Zhou Duoduo said it was okay and said generously: "There is nothing to say. I got 2,000 yuan for filming a scene. This is about the price in the industry. If you have similar opportunities in the future, you can negotiate the remuneration according to this price."
Zhou Duoduo rounded off this embarrassing matter with a few words, and also taught the two classmates some industry experience. Sure enough, Xiang Yixing and Li Xiaohe were quickly attracted by the remuneration price.
"Before we became famous, the general special commission for a scene ranged from hundreds to two thousand. We are students of Beijing Film Academy. If we report the name of the school, the price will definitely not be less than four figures. Of course, there is no need. If we want to film, we should film famous roles. If we have the opportunity to act, we will act. If there is no opportunity, there is no need to take the initiative to find it."
"If my brother hadn't arranged this scene today, I would not be willing to film it." Zhou Duoduo said proudly.
Xiang Yixing was extremely envious of this. Although she knew that Zhou Duoduo's words were not from the heart, there was nothing wrong with her saying so.
"Duoduo, if you don't want to, give me this opportunity in the future. I'll be happy to do it." Xiang Yixing said implicitly.
"Okay, there will be a chance." Zhou Duoduo smiled, without making any substantial promises, but gave Xiang Yixing hope.
Li Xiaohe was jealous, but she was shy and didn't know what to say.
At about six o'clock in the afternoon, the crew finished work. Zhou Duoduo invited everyone to dinner as promised, and sat at the main table with her two roommates as promised.
Xiang Yixing and Li Xiaohe were looking forward to it and excited when they came, but when they really sat at the main table, they began to be restrained, unable to let go, and nervous...
There were really too many complicated eyes staring at them.
After all, two rookies suddenly mixed in among a group of big guys, and it must be that these two rookies are more likely to attract people's attention.
Li Xiaohe even regretted sitting in such a place. She felt awkward everywhere and didn't know where to look. Xiang Yixing managed to calm down, but of course she was still nervous from time to time. The actors were all very smart, and Xiang Yixing's disguise was completely flawed in front of them.
"Are these Duoduo's classmates?" Li Binbin asked with a smile.
"Sister Binbin, this is my classmate Xiang Yixing. We also participated in the trainee talent show together. This is Li Xiaohe. Her elders are very famous in the Anhui opera industry. They are a family of opera artists."
Zhou Duoduo introduced them very well. Not only did she mention their names, but she also talked about their impressive identities. Although this was nothing in the eyes of several big actors, it at least deepened their impression.
Xiang Yixing was very moved. As soon as Zhou Duoduo finished speaking, she also seized the opportunity and quickly introduced herself again.
"Hello, teachers. I am Xiang Yixing, a freshman at Beijing Film Academy. Sister Binbin, you are my idol. I want to be an actor as good as you in the future."
"I am your idol. Why didn't you apply to Mingzhu Drama Academy, but to Beijing Film Academy?" Li Binbin asked with a smile.
Xiang Yixing was stunned by the question. How should she answer this question? Isn't this embarrassing for this fairy?
She actually wanted to complain. If I had applied to Mingzhu Drama Academy, I probably wouldn't have anything to do today. Moreover, although Mingzhu Drama Academy is also one of the three major colleges, it is still inferior to Beijing Film Academy and Huaxi Opera.
But she couldn't really say this. You know, Li Binbin's alma mater is Mingzhu Drama Academy, and Ren Quan next to him is also a student who graduated from this college, and he is even one of the admissions teachers of Mingzhu Drama Academy this year.
Can she say this in front of them? Definitely not.
So Xiang Yixing felt that she was finished. She was just pretending to be mature. In fact, she didn't have much experience. She was not quick-witted in the face of such a slight dilemma, so she froze for a while.
"Why do you want to apply for Mingzhu Drama Academy when you can apply for Beijing Film Academy?" Nie Wei asked with a smile.
His words were very simple, just like you can be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University, but you want to go to FD. Although they are both excellent colleges, normal people will definitely choose the former, which is better.
"Ah, you look down on Mingzhu Drama Academy, right?"
"Nie Wei, you are arrogant. I will tell Teacher Li when I go back and see if she will punish you."
"Hahaha."
When Xiang Yixing sat down, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It was too difficult. The situation just now was really too difficult.
In fact, she was thinking too much. In fact, she could just give a random reason. Although Li Binbin's question was a bit difficult, she didn't really want to target Xiang Yixing. It was just a joke. She didn't care what Xiang Yixing answered.
It was just that Li Binbin thought it was very casual, but it was a big deal for Xiang Yixing. She just considered countless answers in her mind in less than a minute, and almost burned out.
She didn't want to please Li Binbin, but she was also afraid that if she didn't answer well, Li Binbin would remember her. After all, she didn't know whether Li Binbin had tolerance. What if he was a petty person?
Li Xiaohe, who was standing aside, saw what happened to Xiang Yixing and suddenly didn't dare to speak.
Nie Wei stood up and went out to greet the staff. When he came back, he suddenly asked, "Aren't there four of you? Why are there only three? Where's that girl?"
"She had to arrange her homework, so she went back early." Zhou Duoduo explained.
"It's to pay attention. When we first went to school, we were most afraid of being called by the teacher to do homework." Li Binbin smiled.
But as soon as she finished speaking, she was ridiculed by Ren Quan on the side: "That's because you are a bad student. I'm not afraid. I pointed at the teacher and called my name."
"You are so proud." Li Binbin looked at Ren Quan with contempt.
Nie Wei ignored the two people who were bickering, and smiled and said to the girls: "You should study hard when you are in school, don't hide. These homework will be very useful for you to enter this industry in the future. Each performance seems simple, but it is actually a test of the actor's multi-faceted qualities. During your performance, the teacher can find your problems and correct them."
Including Zhou Duoduo, several girls nodded quickly to show that they understood.
This was Nie Wei's guidance. Even though everyone understood the principle, they still felt that they could understand something more after listening to Nie Wei's explanation.
Under this psychological effect, the girls all hoped that Nie Wei could share more experience.
Unfortunately, Nie Wei seemed to have only mentioned it casually, and then ignored them, which made the girls feel very sorry.
The dinner lasted for more than an hour and ended, because no one drank much, just ate hot pot.
Zhou Duoduo's two thousand yuan salary was all put in, and she also paid a lot of money. Of course, for Zhou Duoduo now, it was all small money. As one of the top streamers in China, her income is still very considerable.
After dinner, the girls went to sing KTV for another hour, and then returned to the dormitory together.
What the three people didn't expect was that when everyone returned to the dormitory, Han Xiaojiao hadn't slept yet, and was sitting on the bed reading a book. Li Xiaohe was excitedly chatting with Xiang Yixing about who sang better, but as soon as she opened the door, she met Han Xiaojiao's eyes.
