Chapter 1 Accident on the set

Li Jinglin squatted in the weeds, surrounded by Eighth Route Army soldiers decorated like him. Everyone held their breath and waited quietly for the Japanese to step into the ambush circle.

Not long after, the Japanese finally appeared, forming two long columns and marching towards the valley.

The Japanese were so stupid that they didn't notice the ambush at all and marched on the road with arrogance.

"boom!"

The Japs' front team finally stepped on a landmine, followed by a series of explosions. The effect was very good, and a large number of Japs were killed.

At this time, the company commander raised the box cannon and fired a shot at the bottom, sending the signal to attack.

"beat!"

"Bang! Bang!"

"Da da da..."

The Japanese below were stunned. It seemed they had never encountered such fierce firepower. They lay motionless on the spot and fought back hastily.

"Comrades, come with me!"

Immediately afterwards, Li Jinglin stood up immediately, yelled, and rushed forward.

"Click!"

"The effect is pretty good. The demolition team worked hard. This one is over. Let's take a rest and prepare to take the next one."

Yes, this is the set of a war movie. Li Jinglin, as an extra, plays an Eighth Route Army soldier.

After hearing what the director had said, everyone felt relaxed and found a shady place one by one to drink water and smoke.

After finding a shady place to sit down, Li Jinglin looked enviously at a few sun umbrellas not far away, where serious actors stayed.

He has been working as an extra for two years, filmed a lot of movies, and watched too many movies and TV shows in that small rental house. He tried hard to imitate those actors with good acting skills, but no crew asked him to be the leading actor.

Until now, he is still a sidekick without close-ups of his face, except when he is a dead body.

He understands his shortcomings: his lines are too tough and he doesn't have a bit of a fresh temperament, so he is not suitable for acting in urban romantic dramas.

Therefore, he positions himself as a tough guy and pays great attention to physical exercise.

If you become famous one day, you must show in a variety show how hard you have worked, how much you have forgotten food and sleep in order to act, how hard you worked when acting, and you will never go to the hospital when the wound is about to heal.

.

While he was thinking about it, he caught a glimpse of a fat man slowly walking towards him out of the corner of his eye.

Fatty is the group leader, Lao Zhang, who is a relatively famous group leader in Hengdian. He has worked with many film crews and brought out a few young stars. He can be regarded as a group leader with some ability in Hengdian.

This time he was able to join the group because he was pulled in after pleasing Lao Zhang.

"Hey, Brother Zhang, why are you here?"

"Brother Zhang, are you thirsty? I'll buy you a bottle of water?"

Several extras came close to him to show their hospitality, and even Li Jinglin leaned over to smile with him.

"You're done after filming the next one. I just chatted with an old friend from the crew next door. He has a missing role. Don't tell me that I won't give you a chance. It's a role with lines and close-ups of faces. You just have to step on it.

Come on, who of you is interested in this?"

Li Jinglin's eyes lit up and he was about to speak when he suddenly noticed that the people next to him were looking away.

He suddenly remembered that last month he heard that a stuntman stepped on an explosive spot and suffered paralysis. He was still lying in the hospital. This life was dangerous.

But his performance just now was noticed by Lao Zhang, who sneered, "Who, don't you want to take this job? You must know that this is a movie and a big screen, and even famous little stars may not be able to do it.

What’s up, you want to be famous but don’t want to take risks?”

Li Jinglin hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Brother Zhang, I heard that stepping on explosive sites is a dangerous job. I've never stepped on them before, so I don't have much experience!"

Lao Zhang waved his hand, "Don't worry, we hired foreign pyrotechnics this time. There is almost no danger, and the job costs 500 a day!"

five hundred!

Li Jinglin was immediately tempted. This would last him at least four or five days, and since he hired foreign pyrotechnics, the safety was almost guaranteed.

Everyone knows that the best pyrotechnicians in China are all in the Capital Studio, and the rest are from abroad.

The most important thing is that this character has a close-up of his face!

"Okay, I'll take this job!"

Lao Zhang smiled and patted his shoulder, "Young man, if you are motivated, I am optimistic about you! You will join the team in the afternoon and I will take you there after lunch. Don't worry, there will be no problem."

Then Li Jinglin filmed another scene of fighting with the Japanese. This time it didn't go very well. It took three consecutive takes to pass.

It was finally finished here, so Lao Zhang took him to the next door crew to get a box lunch.

"Brother Zhang and I like to eat for free. As the saying goes, eating other people's food will make you sweat, eating your own food will make you cry. Xiao Li, do you think this is true?"

"What Brother Zhang said is that Brother Zhang is indeed far-sighted."

Li Jinglin cursed in his heart: You are so stingy. Even if you smoke a cigarette, you have to ask for filial piety from the people below. Do you really doubt that the casting directors of those crews are all blind?

After eating, Li Jinglin was taken to the assistant director.

"Is this the guy? Can he do it?"

"Oh, Lao Xue, why don't you trust me when I do things? I guarantee that my brother will be fine!"

The assistant director was noncommittal and directly talked about the play to Li Jinglin, "You play the role of a Guojun company commander who charges against the Japanese in a desperate situation. You have to show anger later. Be careful not to show anger."

Look at the camera, and then shout, 'Brothers, come with me!' At this time, a cannonball happens to explode next to you, so just lie down. Remember?"

Li Jinglin nodded, "Okay, director, I understand."

"Old Xue, are you okay over there?"

"Okay soon!"

"Then hurry up and don't delay the progress!"

"Okay, go change your clothes quickly and remember what I told you."

It didn't take long for Li Jinglin to change into the uniform of a captain of the Guojun army. Since his face was a close-up in this scene, the makeup artist specially put makeup on his face that was affected by artillery fire.

This scene is relatively simple. There is no opponent scene, just a few explosion points in the distance, and then an explosion point next to him. The pyrotechnics master has already made an OK gesture.

He was holding a Browning pistol and after directing the word "action", the explosive points not far away were detonated one after another. Then he stepped onto the trench and shouted angrily: "Brothers, come with me!"

After he finished speaking, the explosion point behind him exploded. His vision suddenly went black, and something hit the back of his head.

If something goes wrong, the most unlucky thing will happen to you!

He fell straight into the trench, and before losing consciousness, he heard the director's voice.

"Ka! Okay! Very good, very real, just pass it! Who are these actors?"

"Director Feng, it's me!"

Lao Zhang's voice came from not far away.

"Yes, I saved the crew a lot of money. The thousand yuan was well spent! I will give them a thousand yuan in red envelopes!"

Really your mother’s legs!

I'm hurt!
