Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, the Diary of a 95 Flower

Chapter 56 You, a minor, know what love is
When she handed Jiang Yang her business card, she bowed slightly, her attitude appearing even more humble, and her wrist trembled with anxiety: "Teacher Jiang, I'm so sorry for today."

Jiang Yang took the business card, casually put it in his pocket, waved his hand, said nothing, and took Yang Chaoyue to the square where lunch boxes were distributed.

When I opened the door of the dressing room, a cold wind blew in my face.

After walking a little further, Yang Chaoyue looked back and found that the makeup assistant who had scolded her and not let her in was still watching her leave at the door. When he saw her turning back, he subconsciously forced a flattering smile on his face and waved to her.

This huge difference in treatment made Yang Chaoyue so flattered that he shrank his neck.

Recalling what Jiang Yang said earlier.

In a program or crew, identity is really important.

Revealing your identity first can solve many problems invisibly.

Connections are really important.

He took out two business cards from his pocket, one was gold-plated and the other was made of kraft paper.

Is this makeup assistant one of her connections?
People changed their attitude towards her because of the relationship between her and the assistant director.

Assistant director, is it her connection?
Nor is it.

Yang Chaoyue was deeply aware of this, because the assistant director had a high opinion of her because of the excellent acting skills she showed during her audition.

In fact, without Brother Yang's guidance, she would not have been able to perform at all.

and so.

The only connection he has is his boss, Jiang Yang!
"Brother Yang, if you hadn't taken me with you, I might not even have made it through the audition, and I wouldn't have had many scenes during the filming."

Yang Chaoyue looked up at Jiang Yang beside him, his eyes slightly red. Finding a good job and following a good boss is really important:
"Sometimes when you become gentle, you feel like the male lead in an idol drama, and it's easy to win the love of the female lead."

"You are an underage person, how can you understand what love is?"

"Counting my age, I'm an adult!" Yang Chaoyue's voice was floating.

"What about you? Are you the heroine in the idol drama?"

"How could I possibly be."

Yang Chaoyue lowered his head with a look of inferiority, grinning, "The heroines in idol dramas never have to worry about food or clothing, but I have to worry about making a living. At most, I'm just a passerby playing a minor role in an idol drama."

Jiang Yang smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with being an ordinary person. Lay a solid foundation, and I'll lead you up step by step, chasing those stars to the top, and let you become Zhao... the star that illuminates the era."

There was a glint in Yang Chaoyue's eyes.

Although she couldn't understand many of the boss's actions.

If Jiang Yang doesn't say it himself, Yang Chaoyue won't ask.

She knew she was not smart, but she was not really stupid. When the boss wanted to tell her, it would not be too late for her to understand.

Anyway, I gained so much from following my boss for a month.

The makeup assistant was a little frightened when she saw Jiang Yang and Yang Chaoyue walking away and then returned to the room.

Due to the tight time, the program team adopted the method of providing meals in groups today, with extras receiving meals.

Jiang Yang and Yang Chaoyue went to the Life Production to register and receive meal tickets. Then, with the meal tickets, they went to the stagehand known as the 'meal boss' to get their lunch boxes.

Other program groups or crews sometimes use personal wristbands as the basis for receiving lunch boxes, mainly to prevent duplicate collection, which is not uncommon.

While queuing, Yang Chaoyue pointed to the people in uniform not far away, his eyes occasionally glancing at the extras: "Brother Yang, what do they do?"

"Security, supervising the queue to prevent people from cutting in line and grabbing lunch boxes, and often quarreling with the deliverymen."

"Oh."

The extras on the scene were not just those arranged by Canxing.

There are also extras hired by local program groups from the local actors' union. These extras will not have designed lines during the filming process, and will basically not have any shots. They basically serve as a human background board.

So the price is very cheap, based on the number of people, 88 per person, including meals.

When the program team is short of funds, the price will be cheaper.

If you are lucky, the MC guest will talk to the extras during the filming process, but these inexperienced extras are often so nervous that they speak incoherently, and the show effect is very poor.

There are also some instinctive reactions that lead to good program effects, and they will be edited into the main film, but they are very rare.

"The production team has added chicken legs today." Yang Chaoyue heard the uncle in front of her shout and leave with his lunch box.

She handed her meal ticket to the staff and received her lunch box.

When I opened it, I saw three meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, including chicken legs, shredded potatoes, vegetables, and an egg.

"There's a hexagonal pavilion over there, do you see it?"

Jiang Yang, who was standing behind, pointed to the small pavilion with a sunshade in the west. Several extras had already gathered there, sitting on stone benches, rolling up their sleeves, chatting and eating boxed lunches.

"I saw it, Brother Yang."

"Go grab a seat and eat there later. The place is small and there are a lot of extras. There won't be any seats left in a while."

"Okay." Yang Chaoyue ran over happily: "Brother Yang, this food is much better than I thought, even better than the one in my textile factory."

"Take your mineral water, it's a gift from the production team."

“Wow, the food is better!”

Yang Chaoyue turned around, tucked the bottle of mineral water under his arm, and trotted to the pavilion to reserve a seat for Jiang Yang: "I love being an extra!"

There are no tourists at this moment, as the production crew has booked the entire place to set up the scenery.

Sitting under the hexagonal pavilion were all extras, some of whom brought Lao Gan Ma and pickled mustard greens as side dishes, and exchanged their filming experiences with each other.

Most of them are extras from the local actors' guild. They get the notices from the extra notice group of the actors' guild. The diligent ones can receive notices every day.

So there are many groups that I join.

When it comes to gossip, they talk endlessly.

Yang Chaoyue sat with his legs together, the lunch box emitting heat on his knees. He tore open the plastic bag of disposable chopsticks and heard someone say:

"That's nothing. The last time I joined a crew shooting a war film, they were just about to have a massive explosion scene. The pyrotechnics crew was busy digging holes, laying explosives, and wiring the entire day. We were hundreds of extras rehearsing, and as soon as filming started, there were explosions all over the mountain, and the extras rushed out in droves. It was the most spectacular scene I've ever been on. It was truly thrilling, but the director was furious."

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man in ancient costume. He was not tall and was very careful to dip Lao Gan Ma into disposable chopsticks, for fear of getting it on his clothes.

Yang Chaoyue was very engaged in listening to the gossip up close.

These gossips are not usually heard.

Why was the director so angry?
She was curious.

But I didn't have the courage to ask anyone, so I just pricked up my ears and listened.

The man was so excited that he almost stabbed the person next to him in the face with his chopsticks. "After the filming was over, the director took a look at the playback. At this moment, a handheld camera operator scratched his head and said, 'Sorry, director, I forgot to turn on the camera.'"

The words fell.

The extras burst into laughter.

Some people laughed so hard that rice grains came out of their teeth.

Yang Chaoyue was a little confused. What was a handheld game console? A handheld game console, a Subor?

Although she didn't understand, the atmosphere was right, so she laughed along and just thought it was very interesting.

The woman sitting across from her had a different puzzlement: "How could the handheld camera not be turned on? That's ridiculous! I guess the director's camera tripped. Didn't the script supervisor, focus puller, and DP notice?"

"I don't know. I heard about it anyway."

What does it mean when the director's camera trips? What does a focus puller do?
Yang Chaoyue was completely confused.

Jiang Yang must know.

Just ask Jiang Yang.

"Brother Yang, what is a focus follower?"

"A position in the camera crew who controls the same equipment as the photographer and is responsible for focusing to ensure the subject of the picture is clear."

"Oh oh..." Yang Chaoyue poked the chicken leg in the lunch box with the tip of his chopsticks: "Hey, where's my chicken leg!"

Yang Chaoyue saw that the space in her lunch box that originally held the chicken legs was empty. Her eyelashes fluttered twice, and she poked her head to peek into Jiang Yang's lunch box.

I saw a chicken leg bone that had been eaten clean, and another chicken leg that had been bitten into a big piece.

The chicken leg that was bitten into a big bite is hers!
