Chapter 3, Director Hu Mingkai's letter of recommendation: You're really good, kid.
Of course, even if the Sui soldiers are gone and their scenes are finished, there are still other scenes to film. As long as they sign with the production team, they will be used to the fullest. Forty yuan a day is not for nothing!
Although it was tiring, Li Yun was used to this intensity. After all, in his previous life, filming day and night was a common occurrence.
The food was also a bit different from that of later generations. After all, in a sense, the cost of eating dishes with meat and soup was higher in this era. In the past, the cost of eating a meal with meat and vegetables in Beiping was much lower.
But nowadays, even the cheapest hole-in-the-wall restaurants are all cooked with the wok hei (wok aroma), and the vegetables and meat are all genuinely stir-fried with oil and garlic. It's just that sometimes when there's a power outage or an emergency around the film crew, they have to eat Master Kong beef noodle soup with Shuanghui starch king.
After filming the scene of lining up Sui soldiers, and during the reshoots where everyone was drenched in sweat in heavy armor, Li Yun felt his presence had diminished to the extreme.
Indeed, after all, he is still only at the "Level 3 Extra Power" level, and he is still just an extra when he is in a group of extras.
"You have to level up as quickly as possible: extra, featured, supporting role, lead role, and finally lead role... to accumulate exposure and become a member of the food chain... to get a piece of the pie, and then step by step, become capital, and then become powerful... in the entertainment industry."
"Oh no, that's not possible now. Now I need to inject positive energy into the community."
Injecting positive energy.
Yes, I'll get used to it.
At this moment, Li Yun heard a noisy noise. It was the main actors having a conflict. However, this pretty Luo Cheng was not suitable for having conflicts with people in the crew. Instead, she had a conflict with Huang Yi, one of the main actors of "Princess Pearl III".
They seem to be a couple.
Previously, seeing Nie Yuan flirting with Yue Qingwei, the actress who played Shan Bingbing, Li Yun thought he was single. Now she realized that this popular young actor, who gained popularity for his roles as Emperor Qianlong in "The Granary of the World" and the monk Bianji in "The Love Story of the Tang Dynasty," actually has a girlfriend.
However, the entertainment industry is generally not a very positive place when it comes to male-female relationships.
It's not really anything strange.
Meanwhile, Huang Haibin and Lin Zicong were just watching the show.
But in the end, it's still a parallel world.
Although their names are similar and their experiences are roughly similar, there are still some subtle differences. For example, Lin Zicong, who plays Cheng Yaojin, did not take on other projects while filming "Kung Fu Hustle," but instead spent his entire career filming in the "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties" series.
Huang Haibin, who plays Qin Shubao, should be the top male lead in mainland Chinese martial arts films. His roles as Chen Jialuo and Zhang Danfeng are very popular, and his own personality is also somewhat similar.
The complete script for Xiao Jian in "My Fair Princess III" was given to Huang Haibin as soon as possible, and the salary offered was three times higher than that of Sui Tang. In addition, he was promised to add more scenes and strengthen the core character design.
However, Huang Haibin did not agree. It wasn't that he wasn't interested, but he had already signed a letter of intent with "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties." Even though Qiong Yao's side offered more money, this leading man of martial arts films did not agree.
Li Yun, who was watching the drama unfold, overheard some crew members saying that Huang Haibin seemed a bit silly.
Who doesn't know that Qiong Yao is the star-making machine of this era? Her works like "Princess Pearl" and "Deep Love" have made countless people famous. Zhao Yanzi, a top student from the class of '96, reached the peak of her career right from the start, all thanks to Qiong Yao's scripts.
However, Li Yun didn't think he was stupid.
On the contrary, I think he is quite positive.
His personality has a chivalrous spirit, no wonder he can be the number one leading man in period martial arts dramas.
"Don't you have any scenes to film today?"
"Yes, I'm going to lie down and die in a bit."
"That's great, we only have to play corpses, we still have to memorize lines."
"Listen to yourself, are you even speaking human language?"
At this moment, Li Yun looked at Tong Leilei next to her and rolled her eyes at her.
Looking at the actress Li Rongrong, Li Yun really wanted to shout.
Fire at me!
Ok.
During this period, this senior student from the Shanghai Theatre Academy, perhaps because he had just graduated, was really down-to-earth and would sometimes come to chat with Li Yun.
Especially after that day's rehearsal.
In Tong Leilei's words.
She was terrified when filming that scene, but after seeing her own eyes, she felt that what Li Rongrong did was right. How many people in this world are not in control of their own lives? Although that scene still left her with a lot of trauma.
But this shadow was not given by Yuwen Chengdu, nor by the lowly soldiers, but by the tyrannical Emperor Yang Guang who ravaged the world.
Then Tong Leilei said a lot more.
Li Yun thought that if this were a future era, actresses with this level of resources and status probably wouldn't say a word to lower-level actors.
He had dated girlfriends in the entertainment industry before, but all of those relationships ended without a lasting commitment.
This industry is very realistic.
"I need to prepare for my graduation defense and also take the Level 4 exam at the Performing Arts Association. I've been quite busy lately."
"You want to pursue the career path within the professional title system."
"Yes, I want to audition for the drama department."
To get into a drama theater, you need to pass a professional title exam and obtain a certificate.
Certificates issued by the Actors Guild and the cultural, tourism and human resources departments are considered hard currency in the industry. Actors who want to pursue a career within the system must take the exam, and they also have an advantage in winning various awards.
The lowest level is a Level 4 actor.
Hmm... okay, there are even lower-level ones.
...
At this time, Li Yun was also about to finish this round of filming.
I spent a month here playing corpses and soldiers.
During this period, when there was no filming, Li Xingda would also take time out of his busy schedule to send Li Yun to other film crews to play minor roles.
For example, he played a eunuch in "Red-Clad Agent" and "Secret History of the Qing Dynasty".
It was snow-white.
Of course, I didn't collect any positive energy here, since neither of these two shows is particularly positive... There wasn't much room for me to express myself, and I only managed to get 10 points.
I currently have 40 points of positive energy.
I only need 10 more points of positive energy to participate in the lucky draw.
He returned to the set of "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties" for one last time to play a corpse, and that was the last time he finished filming.
I've saved up almost 1 yuan this month. During this time, I also tested the system and found that, according to the rules of the positive energy system, a film crew can only get a maximum of 30 points of positive energy during a filming period.
It's okay, I'll just go find another film crew to work on.
Li Yun had figured it out: no matter what, he would advance along the path of positive influence.
The system is a pig! The higher the star power and the higher the level of the production team, the more positive energy you can get, and the greater the rewards you can obtain!
When Li Yun was settling his bill and leaving the film crew, Hu Mingkai approached him.
"Li Yun, right?"
"Yes."
Li Yun was somewhat surprised that the director actually remembered his name.
"I have a letter of recommendation here, called 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes,' from a Beijing-based production company. Take this letter to the production team and say that I recommended it."
