Chapter 13 Preparing to open a new map(1/2)

At nine thirty the next morning, Zhong Yunqing took the necessary items and went to the Actors Guild to sign the contract.

It was the same conference room where he was waiting for the audition two days ago. When Zhong Yunqing walked in, there were already seven or eight people sitting in it, all of whom were familiar faces he had seen in the drama "Bright Sword" in his previous life:

For example, the actor who plays Cavalry Company Commander Sun Desheng, the actor who plays Duan Peng, the actor who plays Adjutant Sun, etc.

Of course, they are familiar, but they don't know each other yet.

But thinking that they were about to join the same crew, before signing the contract, everyone still said hello to each other and chatted for a while.

In fact, when the announcement was made, we were not asked to come together. It’s just that all of you here are young actors, and it’s not easy to join a crew as a supporting role. So they all feel that it is better to sign the contract sooner rather than later.

As a result, these actors who successfully auditioned in Hengdian came here at the same time.

At about ten o'clock, Director Li and Director Zhang walked in together. Director Li also held a document bag in his hand.

"Everyone, come and sit down. Let me say something briefly first..."

Putting the document bag in his hand on the table, Director Li glanced around and saw that all the actors were already seated before continuing:

"First of all, congratulations to everyone for passing the audition of our crew and about to become a contracted actor in the drama "Bright Sword". Now all the preparations for the crew have been completed, and the filming location is in Shanxi Province. We have booked train tickets for everyone.

The meeting time is set at 10 a.m. the day after tomorrow, so don’t be late.”

After speaking, he looked at Director Zhang next to him and asked him if he had anything to add. Seeing that the other person shook his head, he continued:

"I'll read out the names now, and everyone can come and get their own contracts and sign them."

After everyone corresponded one by one, Zhong Yunqing got his contract to participate in the show.

Looking at the filming time and actor remuneration above, it is indeed about the same as expected. The crew of "Bright Sword" paid him a total salary of 6,000 yuan (after tax), and his role was initially expected to last for one and a half months.

Food and accommodation during the stay with the crew will be provided by the crew.

However, it is worth mentioning that the actor's salary is not settled in one lump sum. Instead, 30% is paid when signing the contract, and the remaining 70% is paid one month after joining the group. (I haven't found the details.

How to pay? Those who know how to pay should not worry about these details.)

Anyway, the contract in his hand looks similar to the entry contracts he signed during his seven or eight years of working in his previous life. And the most important thing is that there is no news that the crew of the show "Bright Sword" squeezed the actors.

So he probably read the contract details and signed his name.

Signing the contract was very simple. I came out of the Screen Actors Guild and took my own copy of the contract. This time I finally confirmed that I had participated in the filming of "Bright Sword".

Not to mention, Zhong Yunqing's mood can be said to be extremely comfortable! Even though he was shivering a little due to the cold wind coming towards him, his mood was still hot!

The reason is very simple. The drama "Bright Sword" is so classic! Statistics show that from its first broadcast in 2005 to the end of 2020 before Zhong Yunqing's time travel, this drama has been replayed more than 3,000 times in more than ten years!

And they are all real views, not those parallel imports from later generations that have tens of billions of views but don’t have a single classic line!

Being lucky enough to participate in a production like this, for a supporting actor, is really like winning the first prize.

And not only that, the drama Liang Jian is also recognized as one of the TV dramas with the most long scenes. A group of actors take turns to perform, and almost all of them can pass. Being able to join such a crew to learn is also a good thing for ordinary young actors.

A sublimation of acting skills.

But there is one thing to say, this drama is a classic, but the crew is very poor, which will be recognized by later generations!

Not much else to say, it can be seen from the repeated use of actors and even several directors taking turns to play guest roles in the plot. This "poor" is not a joke, but a real thing! It is said that during the filming, the entire crew

There are only two cameras.

Of course, even with such a limited production budget, it was thanks to the dedication of the actors and the seriousness and responsibility of the entire crew that we made a classic that will be handed down forever!

Think about the movies and TV series that will be produced more than ten years later, with hundreds of millions of investments at every turn! What will happen to such a "big production"?

Forget it, these general things are not something that a small person like him should care about. No matter how much he complains, there is no point.

On the way back, Zhong Yunqing thought about what preparations he needed to make for this trip.

Other actors involved in the production may not have any idea of ​​the difficulty of this filming. However, he has heard several leading actors and directors talk about this kind of hardship in many later interview shows.

First of all, the shooting process covers the entire winter, and the weather in Jin Province is extremely cold!

It is said that several of the leading actors were shivering from the cold every time they filmed. Even Lao Li complained on the show that he did not do a good job in keeping warm. Every time he filmed the scenes where the crew was sitting on the kang, his buttocks were almost numb from the cold.

!The identity of the protagonist is still like this, which shows how difficult the shooting conditions are.

Audiences who don't understand may think it's because the actor's acting skills are so good and he can perform while talking and he feels so cold that he shivers! Later, everyone knows that it's not acting! It's really cold!

Therefore, Zhong Yunqing had to prepare many things that the crew could not provide in advance.

He bought a large travel bag and suitcase on the way and returned to the rental house. He began to seriously think about the items he needed to bring with him on this trip!

For example, some antifreeze items, such as some commonly used medicines. These things do not take up space, and at least they should be prepared.

Moreover, Zhong Yunqing had learned in his previous life that the filming location of Liangjian was a small mountain village, more than ten kilometers away from the county seat, and the roads were relatively poor, making it inconvenient to go out.

Therefore, you also need to prepare some common daily necessities. Finally, after thinking about it, even Lao Ganma, who he must bring with him when filming, should bring a few bottles with him in case of emergencies.

Yes, the more I know about the filming process of Liangjian, the more "tragic" this trip feels!

(Everyone can check it out. I really feel that it is not easy for the actors and crew to show off the sword!)

Go out and buy everything you can think of. While Zhong Yunqing is packing, he always feels as if he has forgotten something important!

What was the important thing? He could feel it in his heart, but it felt a bit vague.

Then he remembered, it was an update!

As a responsible and conscientious author, he will never allow his works to be edited or discontinued!

You must know that the place where he went to film this time was in the mountainous countryside of Shanxi Province. To put it bluntly, with the current background in 2004, it would be difficult to find a computer there, let alone an Internet cafe!

As for the notebooks carried by the crew, not to mention that others have to use them, not to mention that for a new supporting actor, others may not lend them to him!

So, luckily I remembered it! Otherwise, it would have been a month and a half since I left for this trip, and it would have been so long, and the fans and readers he had finally accumulated would have abandoned him in a matter of minutes!

Of course, let’s not talk about the others, but now there is Liu Sisi, a girl who reminds her of updates! If he dares to interrupt updates for no reason, will Liu Sisi block him and ignore him from now on?

This is very possible!

You must know that this girl is only 17 years old now, and she is at her most rebellious age! Girls of this age have very casual views on a person!

Another reason is that he has become accustomed to chatting with Sisi these days. He is also used to being reminded by Sisi! If he cannot chat with Sisi on QQ in the next month or so, it will be a huge disaster.

mental torture!

So when Zhong Yunqing thought of this, he didn't hesitate at all. He quickly took out his bankbook from under his pillow and planned to withdraw money to buy a Shenzhou laptop to take with him first.

To be honest, in his previous life, he actually disliked domestic mobile phones and computers as bad at first.

But after all, he has experienced the sweater stations of later generations; he has experienced the "loyalty" era in early 2020; and he has also experienced Huawei being suppressed by the United States! These things combined made him understand the importance of domestic brands.

So in this life, he will support domestic products no matter what!

(I remember I saw an advertisement when I was in junior high school, and I bought a Shenzhou laptop computer 3990. I forgot it was a few years ago. I don’t know if this price was available in 2004. Don’t pay attention to these details.)

Although he was filming in Hengdian, he was not very familiar with these things. So he went to Yue Peng's house and was pulled up by this "fat man" who was taking a nap, and he went to buy a computer with him!

With a local native in charge of guiding him, things went smoothly, and he quickly bought the computer he wanted. All configurations, including unlimited network cards, cost a total of 4,800.

…………

After half a day of crazy shopping, Zhong Yunqing felt that he was almost exhausted. However, he did not fall asleep while lying on the bed, and continued to think about what he had missed and what he had not done.

Then as he was thinking about it, he remembered what Sisi said yesterday that her wallet was confiscated by Liu’s mother and she would say goodbye to snacks from now on...

The girl has no money in her hand! He immediately thought of something interesting. He looked at the newly bought watch and saw that it was only four o'clock in the afternoon...

"Okay, let's continue shopping in the supermarket!" He muttered to himself, got up, changed clothes, and continued his shopping trip.

This time he planned to buy some food for Sisi, and all the original fatigue was swept away in an instant!

It's just that he is a boy and he really doesn't know what girls at Sisi's age probably like to eat. He can't just buy a lot of shredded carrots like he knew in his previous life? That would be too uncreative!

It's right to think about it, her hobbies in her teens and in her twenties are not necessarily the same!

Looking at the young girls in the supermarket, Zhong Yunqing had an idea. He then pushed the shopping cart a few meters away, following the young girls who were shopping in twos and threes and looked like high school students.

Then when he saw what snacks they were picking, he slowly and without leaving a trace walked over to pick it up and take a look. If he thought it might be something Sisi liked, he would grab it and put it in the shopping cart.

"Well, dried mango, banana slices, dried pineapple... these fruit products should also work."

He wandered around like this for a whole hour! His shopping cart was filled to the brim with all kinds of snacks, and he didn't stop until the supermarket salespersons were stunned.

…………

Returning to the rental house, he didn't feel tired this time. Instead, he opened his newly bought computer and logged into QQ, clicked on Sisi's avatar and sent a message:

"Sisi, where is the specific address of your crew?"

After sending this message, he took out the carton and began to sort and pack the several large bags of snacks he bought.

After the message was sent, he didn't bother to reply quickly. This girl said last night that she would be filming today, so when he asked for the address, he just sent a sentence first. As long as she could see it when she was online, and then reply.

It's just that Sisi's scene in the morning has been filmed, so there is no scene for her in the afternoon. The girl has just had dinner and is surfing in the room with her laptop.

She was a little surprised when she saw the message sent by Zhong Yunqing. But she didn't think much about it and replied according to his words:

"What do you want to do?"

In fact, it is very rude for a boy to ask a girl's address for no reason. However, Zhong Yunqing is about to leave and wants to send something to her, so he can't worry about so much at this time.

"It's like this. I got a supporting role and I'm going to Jin Province to film a movie the day after tomorrow. I'm going there for about two months this time, so I wanted to send you something. Don't worry, it won't be TNT (
