Chapter 31: The Opening of the Nameless (Ch 31)

On August 15, the opening ceremony of Nobody.

The location for this shoot was not Hengdian, but Duyun.

Qi Jia arrived at the hotel yesterday at noon.

After checking in, I met several other leading actors through the introduction of Director Rao. We got to know each other.

This morning, at the opening ceremony, all the actors lined up and took a group photo.

Director Rao stood in the center, with a man and a woman standing on his left and right.

The male lead is Zhang Yu, and Director Rao said he is also a very talented actor.

I have performed in dramas and many other works before, but I didn’t gain much fame.

Although Zhang Yu has an ordinary appearance, Qi Jia immediately understood why the director chose him as the male lead.

There is no other reason, it’s just that the image fits the character of Hu Guangsheng very well.

The heroine is Ren Suxi, a talented actress who gives people a carefree and straightforward feeling when she smiles.

It was Qi Jia’s first time attending the opening ceremony, and it was also his first time standing in front of the camera as the lead actor.

His excitement never stopped from the beginning, and his face was full of smiles.

As the second male lead and an unknown newcomer, he was also in the first row, but slightly further back.

But fortunately, he is handsome and has a bright smile.

Therefore, many spectators and media at the scene noticed this conspicuous bag on the field and gave it a lot of shots.

After taking the photo,

Under the guidance of Director Rao, everyone held three sticks of sandalwood in their hands.

With a solemn and sincere look, he bowed to all directions.

At the same time, he kept saying auspicious things like “the box office will be a big hit”.

After burning incense, under the media’s lens, Director Rao unveiled the red cloth covering the camera.

After this ceremony,

Now it’s time to send out the startup red envelopes.

The amount of red envelopes for each person varies according to their role.

For example, Qi Jia, as the second male lead, received 10,000 yuan.

The two leading actors will have more, probably 20,000.

As for the supporting roles, most of them earn between a few hundred and a thousand.

Qi Jia was very excited when he received the red envelope from the crew for the first time.

I couldn’t help but happily post a message on my Moments.

After the opening ceremony,

We went to the hotel to have a meal.

Take a short break at noon and start working again in the afternoon.

Today’s scenes are divided into three parts, two of which are performed by Qi Jia and Zhang Yu.

The first scene is about two robbers played by Qi Jia and Zhang Yu, who ride motorcycles to rob a mobile phone store.

The shooting location was chosen on an old street in the old town.

This scene is the easiest.

Because both of them were wearing helmets and their facial expressions could not be seen, it was not difficult to act.

The second scene is a chase scene. After the two men came out of the robbery, due to operational errors,

The motorcycle flew onto a telephone pole, and the two had no choice but to run away on foot.

The intensity was high at the beginning, and the director was worried that the two would be nervous.

So while they were putting on makeup, he came over to explain the play to them personally.

Qi Jia was not nervous, but a little excited.

After being an extra for more than two years, he no longer has stage fright.

After passing the audition, he kept reading the script and thinking about the role whenever he had free time.

In addition, his acting skills have improved a lot during this period, so he feels very calm.

However, he still listened to Director Rao’s speech very seriously.

He asked a few questions from time to time with a very sincere attitude, which made Director Rao nod in satisfaction.

…

“Qi Jia, I heard from Director Rao that you were previously an extra?”

After Director Rao left, while there was still time, Zhang Yu gave Qi Jia a cigarette and started a conversation.

“Thank you, Brother Zhang.”

Qi Jia took the cigarette with both hands, lit it for both of them, took a puff, and continued.

“I went to Hengdian after the college entrance examination, and until now, to be honest, this is the first time I have so many lines.”

“Haha, you’re doing pretty good. I’ve been in the industry for more than ten years before you, and I’m still nothing.”

Zhang Yu grinned and made a self-deprecating remark.

“Brother Zhang, I heard that your beef belly hotpot is very famous?”

Zhang Yu is a native of Duyun. Qi Jia had seen beef belly hotpot on a short video before and was very curious, so he asked.

“Usually, we are famous for our sour soup beef hotpot. After filming tonight, I will invite you to try it.”

“I heard that you are going to have a nice meal tonight. Aren’t you going to take me and Teacher Chen with you?”

As soon as Zhang Yu finished speaking, Ren Suxi’s voice came from behind him.

“Sister Xi, Teacher Chen.”

The two turned around and saw Ren Suxi and Chen Jianbing coming over, so they stood up and greeted them.

“Hey, don’t call me teacher, call me Brother Chen.”

Chen Jianbing is very easy to talk to, and he doesn’t have the airs of a senior, but he always gives people the feeling of being Boss Cao.

“Why don’t you go out to eat something delicious tonight? Take both of us with you.”

Ren Suxi is from Shandong Province and is very straightforward in her speech.

When they first met, Qi Jia felt like she was a close and intimate older sister.

“Sister Xi, Brother Zhang said that after filming tonight, he would take me to eat sour soup beef hotpot.”

Qi Jia said with a smile.

“Well, this is good. I love hot pot the most. Remember to add me to the party tonight.”

When Chen Jianbing heard this, he immediately became interested and signed up.

So the four of them agreed to finish the filming early and leave work early.

“The whole world is ready!”

At 3:00 p.m., the stagehand came with a loud speaker to notify all the actors to take their positions.

Qi Jia and Zhang Yu, wearing helmets, sat on an old 125 motorcycle.

Look towards the camera, which is the direction of the mobile phone store entrance, and get ready.

In front of the camera,

The boardmaster raised the board.

“Nobody, the third mirror, one scene at a time”

“God Ike~”

As soon as the words fell,

The two of them were instantly immersed in the role. Hu Guangsheng, played by Zhang Yu, took a few puffs of his cigarette.

Then he handed it to Li Haisheng, played by Qi Jia.

But Li Haisheng was wearing a full-body helmet, so he tried to stretch his neck to breathe but failed.

That funny look made Director Rao in front of the monitor look satisfied.

I became even more excited about the expressions on their faces next.

As Hu Guangsheng threw his cigarette butt on the ground, the two of them swaggered into the mobile phone store.

The extras playing the waiters shouted “Welcome”.

The two men pretended to be fierce and stood at the door, and Hu Guangsheng spoke.

“Robbery.”

“What did you say?”

“Robbery!”

As their tone changed, the two of them started to move at the same time.

Hu Guangsheng pulled out a shotgun and fired at the ceiling, trying to take control of the situation.

At the same time, Li Haigen put his hands behind his back and tried to take something out of his bag.

But because there was a pillow in his stomach, he couldn’t move around easily, so he couldn’t pull it out for a while.

Frightened by the gunshot, he squatted against the wall with his head in his hands and cursed.

“You scared me!”

The panicked and helpless look brought the image of a stupid bandit to life.

Made some of the onlookers at the scene laugh.

The stage manager was so frightened that he quickly gestured to everyone to keep quiet.

After Hu Guangsheng took control of the situation, Li Haigen hurriedly pulled out a machete from his bag.

But I thought it was wrong, so I took out a hammer.

Walk to the front of the cabinet, raise the hammer, and smash the glass hard.

Crash,

The glass shattered.

Qi Jia was about to follow the script and start putting his phone into his bag.

But at this moment, Director Rao shouted,

“Crack!”

Everyone stopped moving and looked at Director Rao.

“What’s wrong, Director Rao?”

Qi Jia stopped, lifted the lens of his helmet, and asked nervously,

He thought that he had acted too much and made Director Rao dissatisfied.
