Legendary star: Signed to the Palace at the beginning

Chapter 19 Stuntman
Xiao Chuan and Du Hai came to the filming scene of the film crew, and the bearded director Hu was throwing a temper tantrum at several actors: "What are you guys doing? You read all the film school books for nothing? You can't shoot a few lines more than ten times. , isn’t the film money?”

Several actors who were scolded looked at each other in blank dismay, with their heads down, not daring to vent their anger.

When Director Hu got tired of cursing, he waved his hand to tell the actors to continue reciting their lines. Du Hai walked over with a water glass in his hand and said, "Director Hu, drink some water first to moisten your throat."

Director Hu took a sip of water and said, "Xiao Du, have you found a stuntman?"

Du Hai pointed at Xiao Chuan and said, "I found it. This is my classmate Xiao Chuan, a talented student who graduated from Central Opera. He..."

Before Du Hai finished the introduction, Director Hu waved his hand and said, "Okay, let him change clothes, put on makeup, and hurry up and take pictures. The cost of one day is too high, and every minute is burning money. We can't afford to wait."

Du Hai didn't dare to smudge, so he led Xiao Chuan to change his clothes and put on makeup.

The clothes were tattered, and the make-up artist even daubed something on Xiao Chuan's face, clearly showing the image of a wounded warrior.

Xiao Chuan fought with an actor with a long gun. Of course, he shot him on the back. After being beaten several times, he was finally knocked down by the opponent.

After shooting three times in a row, the fourth time finally passed.

Although the props are rubber sticks, it hurts to hit the body.

Xiao Chuan found a corner and sat down. He took off his clothes and took a look. Some places were red and swollen.

"Are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's much lighter than my dad's beating when I was young."

Du Hai took a bottle of water and handed it to Xiao Chuan.

"It's good to get used to it. Not to mention bit parts and stuntmen, big names are directly acting against each other, and some of them are really aggressive, especially those they are unfamiliar with or those who have conflicts, they are particularly dirty."

"I understand. A few days ago, the media also reported that a popular young student went to Xiangjiang to develop a martial arts scene with a celebrity. The other party used real weapons. After one scene, his arm was swollen."

"When a strong dragon encounters a local snake, I'll give you a kick first."

At this moment, Director Hu shouted: "Xiao Du, come here."

"Brother Chuan, you rest first, I'll go see what's going on."

"Go ahead and leave me alone."

Du Hai came back after a while with an ugly expression on his face.

"what happened?"

"The equestrian stuntman was injured. Director Hu asked me to find a replacement. How can there be anyone around me who can ride a horse?"

"Hahaha, Xiao Hai, don't worry, I can find it."

"where?"

"Far in the sky, close in sight, I can ride a horse."

"Brother Chuan, stop joking. We have been classmates for four years. Why didn't I know you could ride a horse?"

"I used to ride in the countryside when I was a child."

"Can it be the same? This is not a joke. Equestrian stuntmen have to undergo systematic training, otherwise their lives will be in danger."

"Don't worry, I'm good at riding."

"Brother Chuan, you go up and try first. If it doesn't work, don't show off. I'll find someone else. Let's not get hurt just to make some money. My sister-in-law and daughter-in-law are still waiting for you to support them."

Xiao Chuan was moved in his heart, patted Du Hai on the shoulder, and said, "Brother, don't worry, I know how to measure."

Xiao Chuan changed his armor, carried a spear, and came to the horse.

"Why no saddle?"

"Brother Chuan, in this scene, when the protagonist is being chased by the enemy, he temporarily snatches a horse. Director Hu said that the horse should be barebacked to look real. That's why the last equestrian stuntman was not used to riding and fell off the horse and was injured."

"No saddle, no saddle."

Xiao Chuan said in his heart, I have a junior equestrian card, not to mention riding a horse, riding a pig is no problem.

Xiao Chuan got on the horse, and Du Hai grabbed the reins of the horse and said, "Brother Chuan, you must be careful! If you need money, I will lend it to you."

"Brother, don't worry."

"Brother Chuan, I feel that you are different from before."

"Why is it different?"

"You used to be so proud, you didn't bend your waist for five buckets of rice, but now you are working hard for 1000 yuan."

A smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Chuan's mouth, and said: "Xiao Hai, you will understand after you get married. If you are arrogant and can't make your wife and children happy, you are stupid. Putting down your body to make money and make your wife and children live better is the real thing." pride."

Xiao Chuan tentatively ran for two laps, and the primary equestrian skill card came into play. Xiao Chuan changed from being unfamiliar at the beginning to being able to do it freely. In the end, he only clamped the horse's back with his legs, did not hold the rein, and danced a few times on the horse's back. What a gun flower, Director Hu nodded again and again, showing a smile for the first time today.

Director Hu gave an order, and Xiao Chuan rode his horse and ran wildly according to the plot. No matter how bumpy it was, Xiao Chuan's body seemed to be glued to the horse's back, and he finished the scene perfectly.

"Du Hai, your classmate is a talent. You just passed the play four times, and your equestrian skills are also good."

"Director Hu has a good eye. Didn't I introduce it just now? My classmate is a high-achieving student."

"Then why didn't you bring him here before?"

"Hehe, my classmate is a screenwriter, and acting is just for fun."

"It's a pity that this young man doesn't act. By the way, what's your classmate's name?"

"Xiao Chuan."

"Xiao Du, I decided to change the script later and let Xiao Chuan be the male supporting actor to perform a real fight on horseback. It will have more box office appeal than sitting on a tractor with only the upper body exposed."

Du Hai was overjoyed and said, "Okay, I will thank Director Hu on Xiao Chuan's behalf."

After telling Xiao Chuan the good news, Xiao Chuan naturally agreed, signed a contract with the crew, and happily received a substitute fee of 50 yuan.

The crew finished work, Du Hai was fine, Xiao Chuan said, "Xiao Hai, do you know anyone who collects antiques?"

Du Hai smiled and said, "Brother Chuan, are you going to step on the spot?"

Xiao Chuan patted the plastic woven bag and said, "To tell you the truth, the ancestors of our old Xiao family were high officials. My father found several heirlooms while repairing the ancestral house and mailed them to me for sale."

Du Hai laughed and said: "Hahaha, Brother Chuan, don't be ridiculous, isn't your family a poor peasant of eight generations? If your family has a high-ranking official, my family's ancestors will have an emperor."

Xiao Chuan said: "You ordinary people really look down on people."

Du Haidao: "Well, I do know a few antique dealers in Pan Yuanzi, but let me remind you first, they are all old players with vicious eyes, and fakes can't fool people, so don't slap them in the face. "

Xiao Chuan said: "Don't worry, a slap in the face is also a slap in the face, and they don't know me, so it doesn't matter."

Du Hai said helplessly: "Okay, I'll just give up my face and accompany you for a while. Why are we brothers?"

Xiao Chuan said: "Let's have some food first, then accompany me to pay the child's tuition fee, and then go shopping."

Du Hai said: "Okay, today is all up to you."

The two found a snack bar, ordered two bowls of stewed meat, and started to eat after a few scorched rings and donkey rolls.

In the director's office of Wuhuan Film and Television Department, Bai Xueru swept the director's coldness and majesty, and sat on the sofa with a smile on her face, chatting with her assistant and best friend Wen Yan.

"Wen Yan, you said you let Xiao Chuan sleep on the sofa last night? Was he not impatient?"

"Well, if he gets angry and quarrels with me, I'll feel better."

"What? You can't bear it after only one night."
