Chapter 5: Dragon suit

Views:

There was something hidden in his words, and Jiang Se was immediately confused and amused.

When she was Feng Nan, she had little interaction with the entertainment industry, but she did occasionally hear some rumors.

It is said that this circle is complicated and the man's behavior at this moment made her laugh.

You still have to accept the business card. If you refuse it, even the extra role you worked so hard to get will be lost.

The man saw her take the business card and smiled:

"I know everyone in the crew. If you want to play a role in the movie, just give me a call. The crew will stay in Shenzhuang for several days."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone on the other side called his name. He responded and turned back to Jiang Se and said:

"Remember to call me."

After saying that, he turned and ran away.

When Lu Baobao saw him leave, he quickly came over:

"Sese, could it be that he saw that you are beautiful and wanted to praise you?"

Jiang Se shook his head and threw the business card into the trash can beside him:

"Don't be fooled."

This person is just an errand boy in the crew. He is ordered around and has no status.

What he said just now can at most appease those innocent girls who have dreams of becoming stars but have little experience. The only right he has is probably to select extras. It is not his turn to select the really good roles.

"Let's go."

The women in front had already joined the crew, and the two of them were already lagging behind. When they found the dressing room, many people were already changing their costumes in the dressing room.

Judging from the costumes, this drama should be set in the Republic of China period. Judging from the title "Rescue Operation", Jiang Se guessed that this drama might be about the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.

There were rows of costumes in different colors on the shelves. They were obviously worn by someone in the past few days and they smelled sour.

Baby Lu has been spoiled since childhood, and she showed displeasure on her face. Jiang Se, on the other hand, was calm. She took her clothes and changed behind the curtain.

There were many people behind the curtain, but no one was talking at this time. When they came out after changing into costumes, a fashionable woman in her thirties came in with a form:

"Today we are recruiting extras. Each person will work for 41 days, eight hours a day, and lunch will be provided." She called a group of extras over and took out a form to explain:

"Since you have changed into your costumes, you must obey the crew's arrangements, otherwise you won't get paid. If there are no problems, come here to sign and you can collect the money according to your name in the evening."

Everyone came forward to sign. When it was Jiang Se's turn, the woman was a little surprised. She looked at Jiang Se several times and then took the notebook and went out.

A group of people lined up to get their makeup done. It was obvious that they were not going to play glamorous roles. When Lu Baobao finished putting on her makeup, her complexion became dull, her hair was messy, and with the blue floral top she was wearing, she looked several years older.

The man who put makeup on Jiang Se was a man in his thirties. He looked at Jiang Se and exclaimed:

"it's beautiful."

Jiang Se is indeed blessed with natural conditions. Even though she is wearing heavy, tacky and bulky costumes, it does not detract from her gracefulness.

"Thank you." Jiang Se smiled slightly, and the makeup artist looked at her again.

Although it is summer in May or June, "Rescue Operation" should be set in winter. Jiang Se and others were wearing heavy costumes. She and Lu Baobao arrived late, and the lighter ones were chosen. They were left with two jackets. Now she put them on. Even though the air conditioner was on in the dressing room, sweat poured out in streams, making the clothes stick tightly to Jiang Se's back. The smell of the costumes made Jiang Se a little breathless.

She is so beautiful that her beauty is not inferior to that of several female stars in the same crew. However, for an extra, her appearance is a little too eye-catching.

The makeup artist thought about it and took a slightly darker foundation to darken her skin. The person in the mirror immediately lost some of her radiance and was no longer as eye-catching as before.

"You are going to play the role of villagers captured and killed by traitors."

The makeup artist looked at Jiang Se and smiled, but his hands did not stop moving: "So I'm going to draw a few scars on your face."

If it was an ordinary extra, the makeup artist would not be so meticulous, nor would he have the time to explain to her the plot to be filmed today.

But after being in this circle for a long time, the makeup artist is also a shrewd person. He can see that Jiang Se is beautiful. As long as such a person is not too stupid, he may have a chance to succeed in this entertainment circle. He gently took the makeup brush and dipped it in color to paint on Jiang Se's face, while smiling and introducing himself:

"My name is Tony."

Jiang Se nodded and watched him draw a few scars on his face and do his hair. He looked completely different from before.

Tony looked around at Jiang Se. The makeup was done, but there was always something not quite right.

Her back was very straight and her temperament was natural. Even with her makeup on and her hair disheveled, she still looked different from other women who played supporting roles.

"That won't work." He stretched out his index finger and waved it, "Bend your waist and back a little bit," he pointed at the other listless women next to him, "Be like them, and you'll be more like them."

Jiang Se glanced at the others, then looked at herself in the mirror. Her skin had been painted black, but the buttoned stand-up collar could not hide her slender neck and beautiful and delicate jaw. Even though there were "scars" on her cheek, her eyes were calm and peaceful, without any sign of embarrassment. This was definitely not acceptable.

She thanked Tony for the reminder and decided that since she had chosen to be an extra, she shouldn't go too far.

She bent over and shrank her neck. She tried several timid looks in front of the mirror. Someone outside was already urging the group to go on with the performance, so she had no time to think about it.

Baby Lu was a little excited and a little afraid. He hugged Jiang Se's arm and couldn't help laughing when he saw her like this.

The makeup artist Tony had just informed Jiang Se in advance about what she was going to act out. When the car from the studio drove over, Jiang Se was very calm.

This scene was set at the Daxing River Wharf. The set had been cleared and the crew had rented the Shenzhuang area in advance. Cameras could be seen everywhere.

Under the sun, a group of people in costumes gathered in groups of three or four and talked.

There were several parasols in the distance, and several people on the beach chairs seemed to be studying a script.

Seeing the car carrying people coming over, one of the fat middle-aged men stood up and shouted with a loud speaker:

"The extras are here, everyone take your positions!"

Jiang Se and others in the car were hurriedly forced to get off, and several people from the crew came forward with hemp ropes.

"What is this for?"

When Lu Baobao saw this scene, he was a little flustered and asked Jiang Se in a low voice, his body still shaking. (To be continued)
