"Zhang Ran, what are you doing?" Huang Zhenyu's face looked very ugly. I came here to listen to the class specifically. Instead of attending classes honestly in the classroom, you have to take students out. Do you still have me, the dean in your eyes?

Zhang Ran hurried over and said with apologizing: "Dean, through the past half month of contact with students, I discovered a very serious problem. Most students know nothing about the cruelty of actors. They think they have entered the film and television industry after being admitted to Beijing Film Academy and thought they could become big stars. So I have to take them to the set to get to know the profession of actors and understand the survival status of this industry. I have to let them understand that actors are not just fine with a beautiful face, so that they can concentrate on learning performance."

Huang Zhenyu was dizzy by Zhang Ran's big truth and said angrily: "If the teacher comes to listen to your class, do you leave everyone aside. Do you think it's appropriate?"

Zhang Ran smiled: "Dean, I think what you said just now is particularly reasonable. You said that the target of class is a student, not a teacher. How can you change the teaching content casually because of the teacher? I am also following your instructions!"

"You, you! Very good!" Huang Zhenyu almost vomited blood without any anger and digged a hole to let me jump inside. You have a feeling! He hummed heavily, swung his sleeves and left.

The teachers all thought Zhang Ran was right and the idea of ​​taking the students to experience life was also very good. They nodded at him with a smile and left the classroom.

Zhang Ran knew that he had offended Huang Zhenyu again, but he didn't take this matter seriously. The soldiers came to block the water and soil. As long as I teach the students well, can you still drive me? He was in a good mood and hummed a small song to the playground of the school.

The students moved very quickly and gathered in the playground within a few minutes.

Zhang Ran glanced at the students in the class: "Didn't you let you wear the most ordinary clothes? Why are you wearing so beautiful clothes? Are you going to go to the beauty pageant?"

"I'm wearing the most common clothes."

"Yes, so do I!"

Zhang Ran smiled: "It seems that you are all very stinky and beautiful!"

The girls were very proud: "We are from the performance department, so of course we have to dress up beautifully!"

"We are not stinking, we are beautiful!"

"This is called natural beauty!"

Zhang Ran was happy, oh, these girls showed off, waved their hands, and said, "It's impossible to ask you to find old clothes now, so let's do it! Let's talk about the main topic. A normal crew member is divided into leading actors, supporting roles, role actors, stunt actors, stunt actors, extras, etc. All we have to do is to experience the life of extras. Our students from Beijing Film Academy go out to act and usually play supporting roles, and the most common ones are role actors. So, this is a rare opportunity, everyone is serious!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Ran asked Cao Bingkun: "Cao Bingkun, you have been an extra before. Let me introduce to you how extras can be classified!"

Cao Bingkun walked out of the team and introduced loudly: "The extras are divided into three types: a supporting actor, a group actor, and a special actor. A supporting actor basically plays a passerby, and the chance of showing his face is very small. The salary is paid a day, and a working meal is paid about 30 yuan a day. The actors will follow the crew to film at a location outside of Peking, with a monthly salary of about 2,000 yuan a month. The special actor is the relatives who play the protagonist, the company manager, the hotel owner, etc., and all the lines, cameras, and close-up roles. The salary is a game of about 600 yuan a day."

Zhang Ran patted Cao Bingkun on the shoulder, signaled him to go down, and then said, "We will go to play a supporting role today. We will arrive at the entrance of Beijing Film Studio. We are not allowed to say that we are from Beijing Film Studio, just say that we are from Jintian Art School. Note that there are many scammers and perverts at the entrance of Beijing Film Studio. People often claim to be directors, claim to know Zhang Yimou, and they are sworn brothers with Feng Xiaogang, cheating money and sex. Boys should pay attention to protecting girls. Okay, let's go now!"

Beijing Film Studio is only separated by a wall from Beijing Film Studio, but it takes fifteen minutes to walk from Beijing Film Studio's main entrance to Beijing Film Studio. Therefore, students of Beijing Film Studio often come over the wall when they go to Beijing Film Studio.

The two sides of the Beijing Film Studio were covered with people, looking like a vegetable market, full of extras.

In fact, the chances of waiting here are very slim. In a play, there are only war and military use, and there are many people using large scenes of the strife. Generally, extras can use more than one hundred, even if they are too many. It is good to earn five or six hundred yuan a month, and they are not even as good as small workers.

The arrival of Zhang Ran and the others caused a stir among the extras. After all, they were students from the undergraduate class of Beijing Film Academy, and their image and temperament were first-class and very eye-catching. Zhang Ran did not care about the extras' curious eyes and found a piece of open space to let the students in the class squat down.

Just then, a voice suddenly came: "Bingkun, Bingkun, have you been admitted to Beijing Film Academy? Why did you run to the entrance of Beijing Film Studio again?"

Zhang Ran felt his voice familiar, and when he looked up, he saw a simple and silly face.

Wang Baoqiang!

Zhang Ran knew that the person in front of him would become a totem and a legend at the entrance of Beijing Film Studio in a few years. With the rise of film and television bases in various places, Beijing Film Studio gradually declined and became less and less. However, there was always a group of people insisting on being here, so a big star - Wang Baoqiang, came here. They all hoped that good luck would fall on themselves and become Wang Baoqiang's second!

Cao Bingkun made a gesture of silence against Wang Baoqiang, lowered his voice and said, "Baoqiang, don't talk nonsense. The teacher asked us to be extras and experience life!"

Wang Baoqiang grinned: "What are the extras to experience? Your teachers are fools, right?"

The students in the class were very happy. Who is this? He said he was a fool in front of Teacher Zhang, and he really needs to be dealt with!

Cao Bingkun admired Zhang Ran tightly, afraid that he would be angry, so he quickly said, "Teacher Zhang, don't be angry, Baoqiang is a man who can't speak, don't be as knowledgeable as him!"

Although Wang Baoqiang looked stupid, he was not stupid in fact. He immediately reacted, bowed and apologized: "Teacher, I don't mean that. I am a stupid person and can't speak. Please forgive me!"

"I'm not that stingy!" Zhang Ran smiled and waved his hand, begging Sha Gen. He didn't seem stupid. He glared at Jia Niaoliang who was laughing endlessly, "What are you laughing at? You are all extras now, and you are here to find a job. Hurry up and squat for me!"

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Ran waved to Wang Baoqiang: "Baoqiang, you have been an extra for a few years and have a very rich experience. Let me tell you about the students in our class!"

Wang Baoqiang shook his head: "I can't speak, what are you talking about?"

Zhang Ran said: "Let's talk about your experience, how you become an extra, whether acting is hard or not, and what difficulties have you experienced. If you speak well, our school will make movies at the end of the year, and then we will find you to play them, and give you close-ups and lines to characters!"

"Really? Then I'll tell me, I'll tell me!" When Wang Baoqiang heard the characters with lines and close-ups, his eyes lit up. That was a special appointment. He performed hundreds of people. He thought about it and started talking, "I used to learn martial arts in Shaolin Temple, but I wanted to be an actor, an actor like Jet Li, and then I came here. When I was just an extra, I thought that every actor in the crew was equal. We would have dinner, film and chat together, and I taught others to learn martial arts, others

Teach me how to act. Later I learned that in their eyes, the extras like us are just small ants on the land, and there is no difference between anyone and anyone. Don’t say that you learn from them, you can’t even see them and say a word. I remember that once I was filming in front of me, I went wrong and the crew rushed up and scolded them, and the harshness of how bad it was. Another time, during the filming, I accidentally kicked an antique chair over and was slapped in the face."

Hearing this, Wang Luodan couldn't help asking, "You really beat me, didn't you resist?"

Wang Baoqiang smiled silly: "I'm tolerant. I want to be an actor. If I fight with the crew, I won't get the money, and other crews may not use me anymore."

Ji Chen suggested: "You came from Shaolin Temple and know martial arts. You should perform martial arts!"

Wang Baoqiang nodded and said, "Later, I also did a martial arts career. The first martial arts job was a movie called "Bus Detective", which was a substitute for the male lead. My task was to climb up to a very high fire escape and fall off the ladder. The ladder was more than two meters high, and there was cement floor below, without any protection measures. I climbed up the ladder and looked at the grayish-white concrete floor below, and my legs were shaking. But the director shouted that I closed my eyes and fell straight down. But this shot failed, and I could only start again. I fell to the ground like a sandbag. This shot was shot three times, and I also fell three times. When the director said that when I got up, I couldn't feel the pain at all, my arms were broken, and my sleeves were wet."

The students in the class were stunned when they heard this. They fell down from a height of more than two meters or were still in concrete floors. This was not an act, but a life-threatening one!

Wang Baoqiang continued, "An old martial artist came over and pulled me aside and said, "You are stupid, why are you really falling? People with experience, how can you throw your body directly on the ground? If you go down like this, you will be dead! Although I fell miserably that day, I got fifty yuan. The next day, my scene was still on the ground, but not from a ladder. I was going to be held on my wrist and then thrown on the ground. But I still don't know what it means to be a fake fall, or a real fall. When the filming was finished, my eyes fell blue and my face was swollen. At the end of work, the assistant director came over and patted my shoulder and said, "It was a good performance, very real. From that movie, many groups knew that there was a substitute named Wang Baoqiang, who was not afraid of death. If others pretended to fall, he really fell..."

Wang Baoqiang talks about his own experiences and what he sees; he talks about interesting things about being an extra, and he talks about the hardships and fatigue of being an extra. His cultural level is limited, and he speaks things in a simple and direct way, without any fancy words, but this simple language is particularly sincere and infectious.

The students present were shocked. They always thought that being an actor was a relaxing and happy thing. They stood in front of the camera and performed directly. Unexpectedly, there was a group of people who supported themselves with a meager income of 30 yuan and lunch boxes every day. They had no money to pay the rent and slept in the woods near the Third Ring Road outside the wall of the Beijing Film Studio, just for the unextinguished actor dream in their hearts!

They understood why Zhang Ran took everyone to the entrance of Beijing Film Studio. Compared with these extras, they were so happy and lucky to be able to study in Beijing Film Academy’s classroom!

At this moment, a woman in her forties wearing sunglasses walked out of the Beijing Film Studio. She glanced at the crowd and saw Zhang Ran and the others, she was stunned. The group of people were dressed in bright clothes and had different appearances and temperaments. She was a little curious and walked over and asked, "Are you extras?"
