Chapter 413 - Chapter 413 Chapter 412 Calling for Extras Now

Chapter 413: Chapter 412: Calling for Extras Now! Chapter 413: Chapter 412: Calling for Extras Now! “Fuck!” Wang Hao almost jumped up. “This ‘Dreams of Flowers Falling’ really has money, giving itself a reward of one hundred thousand yuan!”

Not only was Wang Hao stunned, but the book fans below were also shocked!

“Fuck! Look! A godlike rich person! Another one has appeared, this time it’s the Golden Alliance!”

“Awesome, Golden Alliance, one hundred thousand yuan, just throwing it out like that?!”

Just as the book fans were curious about this person, someone in the group quickly shouted: “Look, look, ‘Dreams of Flowers Falling’ is rewarding again!”

Whoosh, a big crowd started to gather around, and sure enough, as soon as they entered the Devouring the Stars page, they saw the review area flooded with red, the loyal fans of Devouring the Stars bubbling with excitement: “Hahaha! Awesome! Don’t forget the monthly tickets! Monthly tickets too!”

Quickly opened the chat interface with ‘Dreams of Flowers Falling’–

Wang Hao: “Fuck, you’re rewarding yourself one hundred thousand yuan?!”

Dreams of Flowers Falling: “Hey, you came? Muah, want a shot? Just feeling good today, so why not give a reward!”

Wang Hao: “Is there anything else in your head besides ‘want a shot’?”

Dreams of Flowers Falling: “What about it? I’ve got No Shortage of Money, I’m short of people! Handsome, your creativity is really explosive, the control of the plot pacing is also really good, how did you do it? Paying you to teach me writing was absolutely the right choice!”

Wang Hao: “That’s right, didn’t you see what I do?”

Dreams of Flowers Falling: “Handsome, got time to meet up? I’m from the Middle Seas, and you?”

Wang Hao: “I’m also from the Middle Seas. Let’s make it clear first, don’t play around with me, I’m a decent person.”

Dreams of Flowers Falling: “I know you’re a decent person, just not in bed.”

Wang Hao: “…”

Damn it! I’m decent in bed too!

…

Over the next few days, Wang Hao checked out the script at the film crew and, curious, walked around the shooting location, leading a very satisfying life.

In the blink of an eye, it was the weekend, a great time to recruit extras at the Jinhua Film and Television Academy.

“Little Wang, are you up yet?” Early in the morning at seven-thirty, Mr. Chen from the film crew came to Wang Hao’s door to wake him up: “If you’re up, hurry up and get ready, we’re on a tight schedule. After we find the extras, we need to start filming.”

“Coming, coming,” Wang Hao hurriedly got dressed and washed up. After leaving the house, he smiled and said, “Mr. Chen, you’re up early.”

“We have to be early,” Mr. Chen sighed. “Getting to scout extras early has its advantages. If we go late, only the unsuitable ones would be left; that would be troublesome.”

“Makes sense, makes sense!” Wang Hao nodded and said, “Let’s set off then, we can have breakfast after recruiting people.”

They got into Mr. Chen’s Volkswagen Magotan, and the duo happily drove towards the school.

On the way, Wang Hao asked, “Mr. Chen, is it usually hard to find extras? I thought usually there are more extras than roles needed, right?”

“It depends on the type of film,” Mr. Chen started to explain. “If it’s a war movie, extras are easy to find; they just need to lie down on the ground, so the cheaper, the better. Some might even do it for fifty yuan a day. That’s the lowest level. If it’s higher, maybe there will be death scenes on TV, then the price goes up, starting at two hundred, and they must be provided with a boxed lunch! After all, those visible on camera can’t look too shabby, right?”

“Right, right, that’s how it is,” Wang Hao laughed. “Is there a higher level?”

“Yes,” Mr. Chen nodded. “These parts are relatively harder to find. They’re the ones who might have a line or two in the show, five hundred a day, and they need to do a bit of action. These are often the most troublesome roles for major film crews, as only a few usable ones can be found among hundreds of extras.”

“Ah!” Wang Hao now understood.

That was roughly the kind of role Zhou Xingchi played when he was an extra, having a clear shot of his face and possibly a few lines, like an emperor’s guard in a costume drama. Hiring stars doesn’t make sense because there’s too little screen time, but ordinary extras can’t match the look and physique.

So these were indeed quite hard to catch, and coming across one would be lucky.

As they approached, they quickly reached the entrance of the Golden Shadow Academy. From a distance, the two became excited!

“Holy shit!” Mr. Chen exclaimed excitedly: “This is just a variety of handsome men and beautiful women! Little Wang, look at this variety of tall, short, fat, thin, all kinds of good material here, playing a group of extras, corpses, couldn’t be better.”

“These people all work?” When Wang Hao heard this, he immediately laughed: “Then it seems today might go smoothly.”

“That’s for sure,” Mr. Chen laughed happily: “Today’s set; for our play, we’ve been finding people for a long time. The quality of these extras is too low and unstable, not to mention striving for the lead or eyeing the camera. The most annoying thing is when a play is almost finished and the guy playing a corpse suddenly gets up, ruining the whole scene–that’s the worst!”

“That’s the idea!” Wang Hao was all smiles, chuckling: “Ah, with so many students here, if they hear we’re from the crew of ‘Swordsman,’ they’ll be jumping high, right?”

“Absolutely,” Mr. Chen led Wang Hao forward: “We are a big production after all. Just offer a bit of money as a gesture and these students will happily come, probably fighting over it. This scene will be easy then, and big scenes in the future will be easier too, saving us a lot of costs.”

“Saving costs is the best,” Wang Hao followed Mr. Chen, saying: “Sister Tong will definitely be happy!”
