Trajectory 2: entangled curves

She wanted to leave, but a girl held her back.

The girl is still very young.

"Sister, why are you here so late? Were you also called here by the production staff to save the show? I heard that the director suddenly wanted to add a close-up shot of the palace maids to show that this country is full of beauties!"

Zhuge Qinuo had no idea what was going on and didn't know how to answer. He just smiled at her faintly, then nodded for some unknown reason.

"Sister, I am not a professional actor. This is my first time as an extra and I didn't expect there would be any shots. Can you guide me? How should I behave?" the little girl continued to ask.

"Why did you nod just now? And lead? I don't even have a turn as an extra." Zhuge Qinuo cursed herself in her heart. But looking at the girl's clear eyes, she didn't know what to do, and just answered ambiguously: "It doesn't matter whether you lead or not, just do whatever the higher-ups arrange. Don't be too nervous. Just follow the plot, and the most natural is the best."

Zhuge Qinuo, who said this to comfort himself, felt a little guilty. No, he felt a lot guilty because he was just a novice! After teaching him nonsense, he immediately wanted to turn around and leave irresponsibly.

"Hurry up, get dressed in 10 minutes."

Because of the urging, the staff and extras on the scene suddenly became flustered, pushing and shoving each other to change clothes and get ready.

The scene was so chaotic that even her steps became disordered. In a small room, there were people busy coming and going. Not to mention walking out of the door, there was not even a quiet place to rest.

It is not easy to go against the current.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and change it?" a man pointed at Zhuge Qinuo and shouted.

She was scolded for no reason. She thought it was her fault and was about to explain, but the next second someone stuffed clothes in her hand.

Then someone said, "Hurry up! If we delay, everyone will be in trouble. I heard that this director has a weird temper and is very serious."

Holding the clothes in his hand, he was confused: "Are you asking me to be an extra? Huh? You must be kidding!"

I wanted to run away in the chaos, but then I thought that since everyone has a set of clothes, if there is a shortage of people, wouldn't it implicate others? Zhuge Qinuo gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, and decided to do it once and for all. It's just a palace maid. Even if you haven't eaten pork, you have seen pigs run. If others can play the role, I can play it too.

As she put away her personal belongings with everyone else, she thought of this serious problem. If she wore this outfit, wouldn't someone be left alone? "Do we need so many people?"

"We definitely don't need so many people. The director must make a selection." said the strange girl next to me.

Forget it, I can't care so much. Even if it's just an ancient one-day tour experience, what's the saying "make the best of it"? Isn't this it? What if I get selected? That's it. It's rare, very rare.

After some self-comfort, she calmed down and followed the crowd to the designated place to change clothes and put on makeup.

Everyone was in a hurry, and they didn't know each other very well. The dressing room was also like an assembly line, and no one noticed her uninvited guest. After that, someone taught her some etiquette.

During this period, Zhuge Qinuo also listened to what was said here and there and got to know the crew.

It turns out that the drama being filmed is a novel adapted from an online IP. It's a fictional drama. No wonder it's hard to tell the dynasty from the scenes and costumes.

She admired her pale blue palace dress from time to time, which was very suitable for her skin tone, and waved her sleeves lightly. Compared with the costume she wore for classical dance in high school, this one was really a joke. That one was just for show. Although this one was the clothes of a maid, it was obviously designed for the camera, and it was well-made inside and out. She silently praised the crew for their hard work.

Before we finished reminiscing, someone came and took us to the shooting location. It seems that time is really tight. Not only is there little time for last-minute preparation, but there is also no selection process mentioned earlier.

There was one and there was no one. After everyone lined up according to their height, they were directly pulled in. Zhuge Qinuo's one-day in-depth tour of ancient style and film and television shooting experience has begun.

Because of her short stature, she was placed at the very edge. She thought to herself, it was really a congenital deficiency. It was fine that she couldn't take the "C position" after playing an extra role, but because of her height, she was marginalized again.

After making fun of herself for a while, she calmed down. After all, she was this short when she was in school, so she was quite used to this position.

But no matter where she was, she was in a real crew. This was enough for her to brag about in front of Wu Shu for the rest of her life. She first looked at the director's studio. The director inside was Xu Fei, who was indeed a well-known director. It seemed that this scene was indeed very important. There might be a big star shooting this scene.

Later, someone shouted something with a loudspeaker or something, but she was so excited that she didn't hear what was said. Then she saw that everyone suddenly became serious.

"Is the filming about to start?" Zhuge Qinuo was a little nervous and at a loss. When it really started, he found that he didn't know anything, and then he regretted his decision of "do it once and for all" and "make the best of it". He also began to question whether "eating pork" and "watching pigs run" were really the same thing.

Seeing that the beauties around her were getting into the mood one after another, she could only fool herself with the same words she had used to fool the little girl before - natural is best.

What else can I do? The worst that can happen is that I will be eliminated later.

After they were in position, the director shouted "start", and the leading actor of this scene was about to appear.

Zhuge Qinuo was so excited and nervous that he didn't hear the director's clapboard. He even raised his head, wanting to see who would be in this scene.

The actors came out...

It was Deng Qing. Oh my god, it was Deng Qing!

This actor has won many awards, including Best Actor. He is definitely a top-tier actor. She reads gossip news every day. It can be said that she watched Deng Qing rise from an 18th-tier actor. From a nobody, he finally got to where he is today after so many years of hard work. She is not one of his fans, but she was still very excited to see him in person. However, she has no impression of the actress who is acting with him, even though she reads the entertainment section every day. She is really not familiar with her.

"Everyone, it's time to start. Don't be so relaxed. Get into the state as soon as possible." A voice came from the director's studio. Zhuge Qinuo was glad that she was not the only one who was curious. She stuck out her tongue guiltily and lowered her head like everyone else.

In order to save time and improve the overall effect, this scene was shot with multiple lenses. Not only were there many camera positions, but there was also aerial photography. The entire environment required all personnel to stay in the state of the play at all times, as you never know when the camera will sweep over.

Zhuge Qinuo has heard and seen too many incidents of cutouts during filming, and once again sighed that this crew is really conscientious and is very kind. After today's "one-day tour" is over, I must ask the name of the drama and wait quietly for it to be broadcast. Maybe I can see myself in it.

There were a lot of ideas in her mind, but it didn't stop her from doing a good job as an extra. Fortunately, it wasn't difficult, just standing with her head down, very simple.

But half an hour later, Zhuge Qinuo retracted his judgment. It turns out that being an extra is really hard. They have to keep the same posture, just like standing at attention. No, it's more tiring than standing at attention. At least standing at attention allows you to hold your head high and chest out.

Having to stand all the time with his head down, Zhuge Qinuo felt that his feet were numb and his neck felt like it was no longer his own.

But the filming did not seem to be going so smoothly. At the end of the stairs, the two actors kept cutting.

All I could hear was the actress's repeated apologies and the director's gradual complaints.

But no one wanted to stop because the director didn't. He just kept repeating it over and over again.

She was standing at the side and heard some people's dissatisfaction. However, the camera required everyone to lower their heads, so basically no one raised their heads. This was no different from a real palace maid.

Zhuge Qinuo was also thinking, is it so difficult to just walk and say a few words? It seems that filming is much more complicated than she thought. She didn't complain about anything and tried her best to maintain the posture required by the staff, because she wanted to fully immerse herself in the content of this "one-day tour".

Either don't do it, or do it well. She began to secretly compete with the extras around her. As long as others didn't move, she couldn't lose.

Zhuge Qinuo believes that she is not the only one who is secretly competing with them. After all, some of these children really love acting and are persistent in their pursuit of it.
