Lin Cheng took Lin Momo out of the small building where they lived.
At this time, the sky had just dawned, but there were already many people hurrying on the road.
Many people surrounded one of the electronic display screens.
"Father, what's over there?" Lin Momo asked, shaking Lin Cheng's hand.
"It should have posted some crew information." Lin Cheng said, and brought Lin Momo to the screen.
At this time, some public information about the crew's recruitment was scrolling on the screen.
It's just that most of the recruits here are supporting actors who will enter the crew, and it doesn't have much to do with Lin Cheng, a secondary actor.
There are also some business cards and QR codes of group heads densely pasted around the display screen, but it is difficult to judge which ones are useful information.
After Lin Cheng's eyes quickly glanced at it, he took Lin Momo and left.
—
The two came to the nearest logistics service area, and there was a schematic diagram hanging on the bulletin board on the right side of the entrance of the service area.
"Is this the map here?" Lin Momo looked at the display in front of him and asked curiously.
The specific layout of the film and television city cannot be found on the Internet, so the only thing Lin Cheng and Lin Momo have now is a tourist guide and a tour map that they received at the gate of the film and television city yesterday.
The general structure of the tour map is somewhat similar to the one in front of me, but it doesn't look like it.
"This is the fire map." Lin Cheng explained.
To be precise, this is a schematic diagram of the fire safety and emergency evacuation of the film and television city.
On this schematic diagram, the regional division of the entire film and television city, the fire-fighting facilities arranged along the road, and the escape and emergency evacuation routes for personnel are marked in great detail.
Although it is not as intuitive as a real map, this map is at least much more accurate than the tourist map, and it can barely be used as a map.
Lin Cheng compared the filming locations of several key crews, determined the approximate location on this schematic diagram, and planned the fastest routes by the way.
"Let's go." After taking a picture of the map and noting the route, Lin Cheng took Lin Momo to their first destination - the shooting location at No. A-6-3, Minfeng Street.
Here, the crew of "The Wave" is filming.
This is a TV series with the background of the Republic of China adapted from a literary work. It tells the story of a group of progressive young people and the love story and love story between a group of progressive young people and the male and female protagonists before the outbreak of the war...
When the father and daughter arrived at the filming location, there were already many people waiting outside the filming location.
With so many people, obviously, there should be many people here who learned from certain information groups or group leaders that the crew may use group performances for today's shooting, and this time they came to the crew early to wait.
Many of these people have even put on their own costumes from the period of the Republic of China in advance.
Lin Cheng took Lin Momo to a place with relatively few people outside the crew and stood still temporarily.
Standing next to them was a middle-aged man in his forties. The man was holding a few sheets of information about the production crew in his hand. He seemed to be a "regular resident" of the film and television city.
Seeing Lin Cheng and Lin Momo beside him, the man showed a surprised expression, and he took the initiative to strike up a conversation and said, "Brother, you just came here after looking at the face? Are you here as a group performer?"
It's not because the man feels strange, but the main reason is that the two people, one big and one small, really don't look like extras.
Hearing the man's question, Lin Cheng was noncommittal, but simply replied to the other party: "I'll eat together." He didn't disclose to the other party that they were recording the show.
When the man heard Lin Cheng's words, he was silent for two seconds, smiled, and finally said with emotion: "It's not easy to make a living. It depends on luck. If you are not lucky, you will probably be like me." look."
"It's boring..." The man shook his head and muttered again.
After finishing speaking, the man looked at Lin Cheng and Lin Momo, changed the topic, and said with a chuckle: "But your luck looks good today."
"The crew is generous, and the work is not tiring." The man said—according to the first-hand information he got, the three scenes that the "Tide Wave" crew plans to shoot today will use group performances. If he is selected, he will have all the work for the day, and maybe he can have a meal at noon.
That's why, as soon as there is news, so many people flock to it.
It seemed that the waiting time was too boring, so the man took Lin Cheng to chat for a few more words.
…
At this moment, a staff member with a walkie-talkie came out from the shooting site.
Before waiting for the extras here to choose their predecessors, the staff member yelled in the direction of everyone: "The group performers over there, step back and don't block the normal passage."
As soon as the man finished speaking, several commercial vehicles drove to the shooting scene one after another.
As a young male star got out of the car, a group of supporting fans squatting outside the venue immediately screamed.
"Jing Xiaoyan!"
"Brother is so hardworking!"
"Brother, come on!"
"Brother, you should also pay attention to your body when filming, we all love you!"
…
Here, the middle-aged man standing next to Lin Cheng and the others pointed in the direction of Jing Xiaoyan, and introduced to Lin Cheng: "Here, that's the male number one of this show."
Lin Cheng nodded, indicating that he knew.
After the first male lead, the second male lead, the second female lead and the third female lead, and other important supporting actors also arrived on the set one after another.
As for this matter, there are more and more people outside the set, and it is getting more and more crowded.
After looking over all the main actors who had just arrived on the set, Lin Cheng took Lin Momo's hand and prepared to take her away.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man next to him showed doubts.
"Are you leaving? Can't you wait?" The man asked: Although judging from the current situation, the competition for group performances may be a little fiercer, but it's not like there's no chance at all.
Lin Cheng didn't explain to the other party, but simply replied: "Go and see other places", and said goodbye to the man.
Although Lin Momo didn't understand why Lin Cheng was going to other places, she obediently followed him and left.
—
After the father and daughter left the shooting location of the "Tide Wave" crew, they walked towards the next planned shooting location.
What they didn't know: Not long after they left, one of the extras got a message off the set.
"What? Temporary change of play?"
"Aren't the few scenes scheduled to be filmed today?"
"Then do you want extras here today?"...
The ensemble performers talked a lot.
During this process, some people have received more accurate information and left one after another, including the middle-aged man who chatted with Lin Cheng before.
—
Here, Lin Cheng and Lin Momo's father and daughter hadn't gone far when they met a middle-aged man riding a small electric scooter from behind.
Seeing Lin Cheng's father and daughter, the middle-aged man greeted them.
Meeting Lin Momo's puzzled eyes, the man sighed and explained: "The crew unexpectedly changed the scene temporarily... You were lucky and left early..."
The man briefly talked to Lin Cheng and Lin Cheng about what happened on the crew of "The Wave". After a few words, the man left on a small battery car—he had to rush to the next crew.
Watching the other party leave, Lin Momo looked up at Lin Cheng.
"Father." Lin Momo tugged at Lin Cheng's hand again.
"What?"
The middle-aged man thought that it was good luck for Lin Cheng to leave early, but Lin Momo always had a feeling: Lin Cheng seemed to know that there were no extras there.
Hearing this, Lin Cheng nodded calmly.
Lin Momo's eyes were filled with an incredible light.
"How do you know?" Lin Momo looked at Lin Cheng in surprise and asked.
"Guess," Lin Cheng threw out two words, paused, and added: "Based on the plot of that drama."
Among the film and television dramas that are currently being filmed in the film and television city, Lin Cheng has selected a few dramas to focus on, and "Tide Wave" is one of them.
The plot of this drama is said to have highly restored the content of the original work. Therefore, last night, when Lin Cheng checked the information of these key film and television dramas on the Internet, in addition to paying attention to the cast officially announced by the crew, he also checked the original content of "Tide Wave".
According to the content of the original plot, there are indeed many places where group performances are needed in this drama.
However, most of the scenes are unimportant scenes. The crew only needs to record the background of the group performance at one time, and then edit and intersperse it in the TV series.
In the whole drama, there are only six places where a large number of group performances are really needed to make background boards: the heroine and the hero meet at the pier, the hero is in crisis and is rescued by the heroine...
Among the six scenes, each scene has a heroine role.
However, just now, Lin Cheng did not see the heroine of the film among the main actors who walked into the set.
In "The Wave", it is very likely that the director temporarily changed the shooting content because the actor who played the female lead could not arrive on the set on time.
Although Lin Momo could barely understand Lin Cheng's explanation, it didn't prevent her from feeling that her father was very powerful.
—
Soon, the two came to a shooting location in another area.
Here, several crews are filming at the same time, and the scene is very chaotic.
About 30 to 40 men and women are standing near the set, each fiddling with their mobile phones.
These people didn't get the exact information which crew needed what kind of extras, and they were waiting here just to try their luck—if a crew needed someone temporarily or the director temporarily changed the script, the crew might be there Find some people on the scene to participate in the performance.
There seem to be many such cases.
Just as Lin Cheng and Lin Momo walked to the periphery of the set, they saw one of the crew members yelling at the surrounding extras: "This is the scene where the enemy enters the village and raids the village. It's okay to find some fleeing villagers." Come here to change clothes, start shooting right away!"
As soon as the staff finished speaking, the group performers around had already stood up, and a large crowd rushed towards the direction of the staff's finger.
The target of everyone was the clothes in several large baskets beside the staff.
When Lin Cheng and Lin Momo approached, the clothes in the basket were almost taken away.
Lin Momo walked up to the staff and asked nervously, "Uncle, do you still need someone?"
"Yes." The staff member said indifferently, then pointed to several baskets beside him and said to Lin Cheng and Lin Momo: "Look over there, if you still have clothes, you can change, if you don't have any, there is nothing you can do."
Hearing this, Lin Momo quickly ran towards the basket.
The better and cleaner clothes in the basket were taken away by the previous candidates, leaving only a few dirty and torn clothes that made people doubt whether they could still be worn.
Lin Momo searched hard, and found two sets of barely wearable clothes inside, and excitedly picked them out and brought them to Lin Cheng.
"Dad, look, there just happen to be two good sets here!"
The two sets of clothes in Lin Momo's hands, the bigger one Lin Cheng can just wear, and the other set, although it is also an adult's, but she should be able to wear it if she tucks it in.
The corners of Lin Cheng's eyes twitched as he looked at the two sets of clothes in Lin Momo's hands, which were dirty and tattered, and even had a strange smell after being used countless times for filming.
In the end, Lin Cheng took over the bigger set from Lin Momo, and Lin Momo put the other set back.
—
In the live broadcast room, seeing this filming costume, many viewers were already not calm. At this time, seeing Lin Cheng actually put on this suit, everyone exploded instantly:
【my God! Lin Cheng actually wore such dirty clothes! 】
[Judging from the previous episodes of the program, I dare say that Papa Lin is absolutely obsessed with cleanliness! 】
[I didn't expect... actually... really, I wore it. 】
[It's too miserable. 】
[If it were me, it would be so dirty, and I don’t know what kind of shooting clothes I have experienced, I would definitely not wear it even if I was killed. 】
[It can only be said that it is all forced by life. 】
[Suddenly understand the hard work and sadness of the extras...]
…
"Aren't I going to change?"
Here, Lin Momo saw that Lin Cheng had changed into his shooting clothes, but he didn't, so he asked.
"You don't need it." Lin Cheng said affirmatively, paused, and explained: "The shooting here is not suitable for children."
Lin Cheng looked into the studio.
At this time, on the street where the filming is about to take place, the staff of the crew are making preparations before the filming, and the extras who have changed their clothes stand aside and wait for the filming to start.
The whole scene was very chaotic, and Lin Cheng already had a premonition that the shooting would start after a while, and the scene would be even more chaotic now.
Lin Cheng scanned the scene, and finally brought Lin Momo to the edge of the shooting site, close to the filming infield, and said: "I'll go to shoot later, you stay here, don't run around."
Although Lin Momo regretted not being able to participate in the filming together to earn money, but hearing Lin Cheng's words, Lin Momo nodded obediently, and replied: "Okay."
Lin Cheng was still worried, so he turned to a girl who didn't look too busy and said, "This is my child. It's inconvenient to take it to the filming later. Please help me take a look."
Hearing Lin Cheng's words, the field manager was taken aback.
Although Lin Cheng was going to record the show on the crew, the staff of the "Living with Dad" working group had already communicated with the crew in advance. But she is a small field manager, but she doesn't know who Lin Cheng is. But the field manager took a look at Lin Momo, and thought that it was just a casual look at the child, and it would not be troublesome, so he agreed without thinking too much.
"Okay, let me take a look at it for a while." The field manager said.
Hearing this, Lin Cheng thanked the field manager, and then gave the cameraman who was following in the distance a look, signaling him to help watch Lin Momo, so he was relieved to leave Lin Momo here. Go to the front and get ready to start shooting.
—
At the scene, the crew had already installed the shooting equipment, and after confirming that everything was correct and all departments were ready, the director's assistant shouted again: "The group actors, the group actors are all in place, right?"
"The preparations have begun. What you are going to play is the villagers and common people who are being chased and killed by the enemy. After a while, when the machine gun sounds, you run forward along this street. Some of you who can't move or stand still fall down in the middle." Don’t move, stay safe.”
After the assistant finished speaking, following a simulated gunshot outside the venue, a group of extra performers rushed forward in one go.
Lin Cheng followed among the crowd, and he was also 'running away' for a while.
…
Before the protagonist arrived, the plot of the villagers running for their lives did not have any major problems. After only one filming, the director yelled "pass".
After Lin Cheng finished the job, he was about to take off his clothes, and when he took Lin Momo to collect the money and leave, he was stopped by an assistant at the scene.
At the same time, there were other group performers who were stopped.
"You, you, and you... those who are wearing such dirty and torn clothes, keep them for a while, we have another scene!" The director assistant said, and said: "The next scene is to shoot the enemy. After the raid, the team that the protagonist is in saw a devastated scene when they came to the village, you just need to lie on the ground."
— and the next one?
Lin Cheng frowned.
Because he was worried about Lin Momo, Lin Cheng didn't plan to participate in the filming of the next scene.
However, before Lin Cheng took off his shooting clothes, a staff member came over, and without waiting for him to speak, he casually smeared a handful of fake blood on the clothes he was wearing.
"Okay, go and find a place to lie down."
Lin Cheng: "..."
