After getting the rental contract, Zhou Youshun successfully obtained the actor's certificate, and was pulled into the group by Zhang Xun because of his appearance.

There are a total of [-] groups in Yongan's group performances, the higher the ranking, the more resources they have, the better.

As a group performer, Zhou You had a good start.

Under the reminder of the staff, Zhou You followed the official account of Yongan Film and Television Base, and learned some information that group performers need to know, such as the selection examination for prospects and special actors in the middle of each month.

I heard Zhang Xun said that the income of foreground actors is twice that of ordinary group performers.

Zhou You glanced at the request, the interview prospect only needs to bring an actor card, but those who have participated have already registered and cannot participate again.

What's the meaning?That is, there is only one prospect interview?But Guan will no longer be able to participate?

Zhou You was a little surprised, just in case, he opened the browser and searched for content about interviews with prospective actors.

A foreground actor is a group performer who needs to show his face in front of the camera. The actor is required to have a good appearance and a high height. Those who meet the requirements can generally be interviewed.

Unless you have plastic surgery, it is almost impossible to change things like appearance and height. After one interview, the probability of passing the interview is also low. Repeated registration will only increase the workload of the selection, so the union clearly stated that the group performers who have not passed the test will not be allowed in the future. Interview prospects again.

Zhou You glanced at Yong'an Film and Television City's requirements for male prospects, and heaved a sigh of relief.

He should be up to the mark.

The requirements for special actors are higher. Non-graduate interviewees must hold an actor certificate for at least three months. In addition, the actor's lines and performance ability must be inspected.

Zhou You's only acting experience is today's letter delivery scene.

Perhaps because of his rich work experience, Zhou You was particularly comfortable playing such a role, so the first performance went very smoothly.

However, his knowledge of the actor's profession is basically zero.

In order to interview special actors with a salary of three or four hundred a day in the future, Zhou You thought it was necessary for him to watch how serious actors act.

The sunny weather in April was good, and there were many production crews, and there were even several production crews filming at the same scripture learning site.

For example, the outermost ancient city wall is a popular scenic spot. Outside the wall is the ancient king sending off the general under the city, and walking a few steps inside is filming a drama of the Republic of China.

There is no time and space limit in the film and television city, which makes Zhou You feel very novel.

He was wandering around the film and television base, and when he came to the wall of an ancient house, there was a lot of noise at the door.

"Come to a few group performances, those who know Chinese painting will be given priority!"

People come and go on the streets of the film and television city, the most indispensable thing is group performances.

Someone yelled such a loud voice, and the surrounding extras rushed forward. I don't know if they all meet the requirements, so it's right to sign up first.

Zhou You was very close, and when he heard that he was recruiting a group of performers, he also knew how to draw traditional Chinese paintings. He looked down at his actor certificate, which hadn't been warmed up yet, and followed his footsteps into the house.

……

On the set of the costume drama "Painting Bone", Gu Hongcai looked at the picture on the monitor, and the anger in his heart rose gradually.

The male protagonist in the play is set to be a poet and painting genius, who can write good characters and draw well.

When the plot was being filmed, when the male lead was taking the entrance examination for the painting academy, several extras were needed to set off the superb level of the male lead.

Wang Lianghan, who plays the male lead, has no background in calligraphy and painting. When filming, Gu Hongcai tried not to photograph his hand movements carefully.

But the group performers around were not decent either.

"What are the extras doing? The pen is not held correctly."

"It's time to start writing! Don't be the only one who is drawing!"

Gu Hongcai has a hot temper. After two shots, the scenes were so bad that he was so angry that he wanted to change the group actors and asked the assistant director to quickly find some people who could draw, so the scene just now happened.

Seeing that the number of people was almost the same, the staff closed the door, and the extras stood in a few rows. The assistant director walked to the front with a brush and asked, "Do you all know how to draw?"

The extras looked at each other, but no one moved.

Seeing other people hesitate, Zhou You took a step forward, "I will."

One person stood up, and others also stepped forward to say that they could.

Gu Hongcai was pressing hard, and the assistant director casually asked them to draw a few strokes, selected some people who looked like that, brought them a set of robes and wigs, and hurried on stage.

The male protagonist's personal shot has been taken, and there are three more panoramas to follow.

The group performers are living props on the set, and Zhou You is undoubtedly a beautiful prop, so he was arranged to stand in a relatively front position.

But he is just an anonymous group performer, he has no lines, and he can just bury his head in drawing.

The main male works are prepared in advance. Wang Lianghan’s task is to draw a few strokes on the white paper in a decent manner, and finally replace it with the finished product. After taking two additional shots, he created the image of a calligraphy and painting wizard.

The changed group performance this time was really like that. After the filming started, everyone held a brush to write and draw according to the requirements of Bao Hongcai. The picture was much more pleasing to the eye than it was just now.

Gu Hongcai's brows gradually relaxed, and then tightened suddenly, calling to stop the shooting.

"The one next to the hero!" Gu Hongcai pointed at Zhou You, "What's wrong with you?!"

The heat is getting hotter, and you have to wear long gowns and wigs when filming costume dramas. Wang Lianghan is stuffy and hot, and his anger is no less than that of Gu Hongcai.

"Who? What's going on?" He turned his face full of anger, and Wang Lianghan was stunned for a moment when he saw Zhou You with a blank expression behind his upper body.

For nothing else, Zhou You belongs to the kind of person who is pretty good-looking, while Wang Lianghan himself is an actor who relies purely on his appearance-isn't this stealing his job?

Wang Lianghan frowned, and was about to complain about this matter, so that someone would transfer him away, when Gu Hong rushed to Zhou You: "What's the matter with you? How did you draw it like this?"

Just now Gu Hongcai lost his temper because the group performances didn't meet the requirements. Wang Lianghan heard this and thought that Zhou You's paintings were too bad.

He stretched his head over gleefully, only to see a delicate red peony falling on the rice paper spread out in front of Zhou You. The peony petals were bright and plump, with layers upon layers.

Wang Lianghan: "?"

Seeing this, the assistant director also thought that Gu Hongcai was dissatisfied with the group performance again, and he was about to come up to change people. After seeing the painting in front of Zhou You, the assistant director was also dumbfounded.

How did this group of actors perform so well?

You must know that other people are scribbling, and Wang Lianghan also scribbled a few strokes on the paper. Unexpectedly, a lifelike flower suddenly bloomed on someone's table under the camera, which is simply a dimensionality reduction blow.

Gu Hongcai frowned when he saw it: "No, no, the hero is supposed to be a calligraphy and painting genius, but the student next to him is much better at drawing than him. What is this like?"

"Yeah," Wang Lianghan nodded, "How about changing to a group performer?"

Gu Hongcai looked at Zhou You's image up and down, and thought for a while, "Yes, change to a group performer."

He reached out and called the person in charge of the clothing team, pointing at Zhou You, "Bring another set of the male lead's clothes and change them for him."

Wang Lianghan: "???"

Zhou You: "?"

Gu Hongcai looked at Zhou You: "Stop acting as a group performer, clean up and be a stand-in for the male lead, and draw for him later, let's take some close-ups of his hands."

He thinks that Zhou You's painting is good, if the process of painting is actually photographed, the effect of the finished film will definitely be better than the fake painting.

Seeing him transformed into a stand-in for the male lead, the other group performers cast more or less envious glances at Zhou You.

That's the male lead. Although he doesn't have lines and doesn't necessarily show his face, he is much more popular than the group performers who act as background boards, and he also makes a lot of money.

The clothing team quickly brought Wang Lianghan's robe of the same style.

This is the male protagonist's spare clothes, both in terms of fabric and cleanliness, they are much better than the clothes of the extras.

The salary of the stand-in is higher than that of the group performers, Zhou You has no reason not to agree, and Wang Lianghan, who has long wanted to rest, naturally has no objection.

Taking advantage of the time when the make-up artist was tidying up Zhou You, Gu Hongcai called the props team again, took out the painting that he had prepared earlier, and asked Zhou You to draw like this later.

"Painting Bone" is a small crew, and most of the money has been invested in a few leading actors, with limited funds for props. When Zhou You glanced at the picture of flowers blooming and rich, in his opinion, the painters in this painting can't be called good.

"How is it? Can you draw?" Gu Hongcai looked at Zhou You, who nodded steadily.

Because he doesn't show his face, Zhou You doesn't need delicate makeup, just put on a robe, put on a wig and comb the same hairstyle as Wang Lianghan, and you're done.

After getting dressed, Zhou You got up and picked up the pen, and stood in front of the desk, his spine straightened, his expression seemed to be careless, but there was light in his eyes.

There really are a few strands of the hero's arrogance as a wizard and his love for calligraphy and painting.

Gu Hongcai looked at Zhou You and nodded secretly, then turned to greet the staff: "Okay, all departments are ready!"

He sat back in front of the monitor and called out "action".

Zhou You moved the pen on the paper, and with a few strokes, he drew the flower pattern.

Generally speaking, the roles of the leading role and the stand-in are filmed separately.

After shooting a set of shots for the leading role, take another shot for the stand-in, and finally edit them together.

But Gu Hong just wanted to capture Wang Lianghan's painting as much as possible, and the half-dried ink looks more real.

So when Zhou You was halfway through the painting, Gu Hong called to stop and asked Wang Lianghan to make up. He pretended to draw a few strokes and took two shots showing his face. Then Zhou You went on stage again, taking back shots and close-ups of his hands.

It doesn't take long to create a vivid and fresh flower picture.

While the ink was still wet, Wang Lianghan replaced Zhou You, posed for the last shot, threw away the brush in high spirits, and wiped his sweat in a dignified manner.

After the scene in the painting academy was over, Gu Hong just looked at the replay, and the shooting effect was better than expected. Zhou You got a full 500 yuan salary for his stand-in, including [-] yuan for retouching.

Because the shooting time was not long, 500 yuan was much more than Zhou You imagined.

He collected the money contentedly, and when Gu Hongcai saw this, he took advantage of the situation and proposed the idea of ​​letting Zhou You continue to be Wang Lianghan's substitute in the next filming tasks.

Of course, the substitute's salary will only be higher than five hundred.

Upon hearing this, Zhou You immediately agreed, "Please let me come!"

Gu Hongcai was overjoyed, and asked his assistant to add Zhou You's contact information, and when the time came, he would send him a schedule, and he would come to the set to wait when he had a role.

After several observations, Gu Hongcai felt that Zhou You was good, so he turned his head and complimented the assistant director: "I think this young man is very nice, he is neither arrogant nor impatient, and his paintings are also full of aura."

The assistant director nodded repeatedly.

He didn't expect that the group performers randomly pulled over from the roadside would have such skills, and it would save them a fortune in buying paintings, which was like buying a blind box at a discount and getting a fortune.

Wang Lianghan listened to the words of the two directors, and snorted very disdainfully.

There was more or less a sour taste in this hum.

Although Gu Hongcai is not a big director, he also filmed some small popular film and television dramas when he was young.

He is a tall and strong man with a bad temper, and most of the time he puts on a bad face, that is, he is more polite to the male and female protagonists who are stuffed by investors.

But politeness is politeness, Gu Hongcai seldom praised someone so kindly, and Zhou You was the first one.

"Hey, don't you just know how to draw some pictures, what's so great about it?"

Wang Lianghan was secretly unhappy, he walked to the corner and made a call.

"Hey, Dad, there is an extra performer in the crew who is stealing my limelight." He glanced at Zhou You who was not far away, and curled his lips, "You quickly find me a Chinese painting teacher, the better the better, I also want to learn painting !"
