Chapter 39 Another Shaolin Temple

"Follow the extras behind!"

"The one with the newspaper is a little to the left."

"What happened to the flight attendant's collar? It's tucked in!"

Huo Yunting couldn't help but feel a little emotional as he listened to the shouting and directing of several stage managers around him.

It's like going back to those years when I was an extra in Peking.

But it's still different from that time.

A few years ago, I worked as an extra in Peking just to survive. Now, acting as an extra again is more like experiencing life.

Lighting a cigarette, he came to the position assigned by the stage manager in advance and acted out his own role seriously.

One after another, if there is a suitable one, he will go there. If it is not suitable, he will wear makeup.

Feng Xiaogang frowned when he saw it.

Is this because I'm addicted to the theater or because I'm short of money? It can't really be that he's remembering the bitterness and thinking about the sweetness as this guy said, right?

Ge You patted him on the shoulder, "You were born in a rural area, and you don't understand this? You're returning home in glory."

"You forgot, this guy started out as an extra. Where did he become an extra? Peking."

"Hey, Yuko, what you said makes sense."

Feng Xiaogang suddenly realized, "He didn't act as a group actor when he came from Sangke Grassland, so why did he have to act when he returned to Peking? Is this really... returning home in glory?"

"Hey, it's not bad."

Looking at Huo Yunting who was playing the role seriously, Feng Xiaogang scratched his chin.

When performing in an ensemble, the acting skills required are not much, and the amount of digestion is also small.

However, little things add up, and after playing at least a dozen extra roles, I finally managed to keep the illusion from appearing before my eyes.

It's just that the crew of "A World Without Thieves" doesn't have any martial arts scenes, and it's hard for him to judge whether the martial arts actions can help with the disease.

In other words, the amount of digestion in martial arts scenes is less than in other scenes.

I worked as a group performer for three or four days and earned probably a few hundred yuan. Feng Xiaogang got married now.

What follows is the plot of Liu Dehua and Ge You showing off their skills and peeling eggs on the train.

For the part where Liu Dehua peeled the egg from the glass cup, he finally followed Huo Yunting's method, drilling a small hole in the bottom of the cup and hanging it with a thin wire.

In this way, the difficulty was greatly reduced, and Liu Dehua completed this scene with only four or five eggs.

Turning the prayer beads, accumulating rounds of merit for himself, Huo Yunting gave a thumbs up, "Brother Hua, you're awesome."

"Don't flatter me, you are really awesome."

"Okay, okay, stop bragging to each other. It's your turn, Yuko."

Feng Xiaogang interrupted the business compliments between the two, and it was Ge You's turn to come on stage.

After practicing for so long, although he couldn't peel a raw egg with his bare hands, it was still easy to spin the egg.

With a flick of the wrist, the eggs start spinning rapidly.

Then the egg was given a close-up shot.

"Click!"

"Brother Huo, it's your turn."

He took off his prayer beads and put on the same coat as Ge You.

The makeup artist then applied makeup to Ge You's hands, trying to make them look the same.

"OK, Teacher Huo, what do you think?"

"Very good, thank you."

"Oh, Teacher Huo is too polite."

Sitting on Ge You's seat, he turned his wrist and the egg began to spin.

With a clicking sound, the egg shells spread out in all directions, but the inner membrane was preserved with great precision.

"Uncle Ge, here are the eggs for you."

Ge You took the egg and shook it from side to side in his palm. The egg also swayed from side to side like jelly.

"Tsk tsk, what a unique performance. No matter how many times I watch it, I still think it's wonderful."

"Yuko, be careful, don't break the egg. When the time comes to reshoot, I won't pay if this guy wants to pay more."

"I can't dig you to death."

Although the egg-peeling scene was filmed for eight and a half seconds, it was actually cut to about three to five seconds.

However, Feng Xiaogang finally paid the price of eight and a half seconds.

Three thousand in one second, twenty-five thousand in eight and a half seconds.

The directing fee was 100,000 yuan, the film salary was 25,500 yuan, plus the few hundred yuan earned as an extra, I made a total of more than 126,000 yuan for this trip.

It can be said that this trip is worthwhile.

It’s not that I don’t know, it’s just that I was shocked.

Counting bank deposits and loose money, he now has a net worth of more than 250,000.

After going round and round, my final destination was back to Peking.

Now that the coaching is over, he, the master of deception, should be laid off.

"Brother Feng, my mission has been successfully completed, shall we meet again later?"

Feng Xiaogang came up and gave him a big hug without saying a word.

"Brother Huo, there will be a time when you don't have to use it. They are all from the Beijing circle. If I have a chance another day, I will play a game and invite everyone to have a meal together."

"Okay, thank you for taking care of me."

Then he said goodbye to Liu Dehua, Ge You and others one after another, and this time was no exception. The contact information of the main creators was basically added all over.

Especially Liu Ruoying, who was given two numbers.

One is a private account and the other is a public account.

Before leaving, she dragged him and said that if he had the chance to go to Treasure Island, she would be his host.

I don't know if Liu Ruoying is more interested in him as a person or in his unique skills.

"Brother Huo, you don't have a brokerage company now, right?"

Just as he was saying goodbye to Li Bingbing, Feng Xiaogang suddenly interrupted and asked.

"No."

"Tingzi, you still need to find a brokerage company. Now that the system is getting better and better, you will definitely not be able to work alone in the future. Where can you find resources by yourself?"

Even though Andy Lau is from Xiangjiang, when it comes to the mainland entertainment industry, he is no weaker than others.

Huo Yunting nodded, knowing that these words were good words.

"I understand this. I will look for it when I have the opportunity in the future."

"If you really can't do it, come and seek refuge with me. I've heard that you even gave Hong Kong Master Zhao Zhiling a 50-50 shot."

Huo Yunting clasped his hands and said, "Thank you, Brother Hua."

Liu Dehua nodded and stopped talking.

His idea is very simple. If he has good looks and abilities, he can praise him if he can. What if he becomes popular? Anyway, the two of them have always had a good relationship.

It doesn't matter if you can't praise him, and it's not impossible to ask him to be your bodyguard when the time comes.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Huo Yunting was about to leave, but he was suddenly stopped by someone.

"Brother, can you please stop leaving first?"

Huo Yunting looked down and saw that it was Wang Baoqiang, one of the leading actors in the crew who has always had a low presence.

In the script, this guy is a good guy, but he just teaches deception, and his dealings with Wang Baoqiang are not much, they are just acquaintances.

"Baoqiang, do you have anything else to do?"

He scratched his head in embarrassment, glanced at Feng Xiaogang behind him, and said quickly, "Brother, can you teach me two moves?"

"Why did you find me?"

"Because I heard that your kung fu is very good. Brother, you may not believe it, but I learned kung fu in the Shaolin Temple when I was a child! It's because I have a martial arts dream in my heart!"

Young people with dreams.

Huo Yunting was quite emotional. He initially became a group actor just to treat illnesses, but in a blink of an eye, he has now made friends with so many celebrities in the industry.

Putting down his backpack, he nodded, "Come on, try a few moves and let me see what level you are at -"
