Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 1 I am a native dog and I love watching

"Where is this?"

Looking at the crowd of people in the crew moving around, Chen Cheng was a little confused.

After a long while, Chen Cheng finally realized that he was reborn.

Reborn back to the summer of 2005.

Chen Cheng is currently a freshman at the Performance Department of the Beijing Film Academy. During the summer vacation, his instructor assigned him an assignment, asking him to train on the crew for at least one month.

As a student of acting, Chen Cheng came to Hengdian hoping to get a role.

But unfortunately.

Although Chen Cheng is a student of the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy, not every student in the Performance Department can get a good role in the crew.

However, this is not the point.

The point is, how did I get reborn?
Oh my God, you let me be reborn. Did you ask me and did I agree?

Yes.

Chen Cheng did not want to be reborn.

This is mainly because Chen Cheng was doing quite well in his previous life.

He is doing well, but he is not a famous actor or a big star.

Quite the opposite.

Chen Cheng's acting career did not develop smoothly, and he did not have that much talent, so after decades of struggling in the acting field, he only became a third- or fourth-tier actor.

If the script had continued to develop like this, Chen Cheng felt that even if he turned 50, he would probably still be a third or fourth-tier actor.

even.

It is not certain that you can act until you are 50 years old.

But later, the emergence of short dramas made Chen Cheng very successful.

A chance encounter.

When Chen Cheng was not doing well in acting, he entered the short drama industry.

As he has been fond of reading online novels for many years and has some experience in film and television production, he invested in hundreds of short dramas in two years.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that these skits are crudely produced and even look awkward.

But I am a local dog and I love to watch.

The more awkward it looks, the more people will watch it.

In just two years, Chen Cheng became a big figure in the short drama industry, and his net worth exceeded 1 million yuan thanks to his short dramas.

It seems that after being reborn, Chen Cheng would have greater advantages.

But the reality is not like that.

Chen Cheng knew deeply that opportunities would not always come.

As it is now.

Even though Chen Cheng knew that the short drama industry would explode in the future, it is now 2005.

Even if Chen Cheng wanted to develop short dramas, it would be impossible to do so in the current market.

As for waiting until the future.

There are too many variables in the future.

Because the short drama industry itself is an industry that suddenly emerged, it came very suddenly and rose very quickly.

Chen Cheng was lucky enough to be able to carve out a niche in the short play.

If it happens again, Chen Cheng believes that he will be like many big guys and suffer a lot in the skit.

That something.

In the past, many big names on Qidian.com made money by writing books, and then invested in short dramas.

As a result, I lost a lot of money on the short play, so I had no choice but to return to writing books.

Even the famous director Wang Jun wanted to invest in the short drama after seeing how popular it was, but still suffered terrible losses.

Therefore, Chen Cheng cherishes his achievements in his previous life very much.

Now that I'm reborn, all my achievements from my previous life are gone, and everything starts from scratch.

"Headache."

Touching his head, Chen Cheng felt a little depressed.

After living a new life, he has a deeper understanding of acting.

Just like him.

He knew deeply that his acting skills were average, not bad, but not that good either.

Her appearance is not particularly outstanding in an entertainment industry filled with so many handsome men and beautiful women.

In addition, Chen Cheng came from an ordinary family with no background or resources.

If he continued on the same path as in his previous life, even if he did better than in his previous life, he would still be a third or fourth tier actor.

Those big stars are the small group of people at the top of the pyramid.

Most people are unknown and you can't even remember their names.

Even in a professional school like Beijing Film Academy, only a few of the few can become big stars.

There are many students who have been in colleges for several years but are not as good as those working behind the scenes.

Behind the scenes?

A sudden thought made Chen Cheng stunned.

Yes.

If I can't act, I can work behind the scenes.

To know.

In the film and television industry, in addition to actors, there are also a large number of behind-the-scenes staff who do not appear on camera.

These behind-the-scenes staff may not seem as glamorous as the actors, but without them, a series of film and television dramas would not be possible.

even.

To be honest, actors don't have a very good status in the film and television industry. The real bigwigs are hiding behind the scenes.

For example, director, supervisor, producer... these things.

Those big stars who appear in the limelight are just little brothers in the eyes of the public.

Not to mention these big guys.

They are the photographers, art directors, and makeup artists behind the scenes. Most actors don’t dare to offend them and have to respectfully call them teachers.

Just work behind the scenes.

Think about it carefully.

Since I'm reborn, and the actor route in my previous life was too difficult, I'll go the behind-the-scenes route.

As long as you can make a name for yourself behind the scenes, even if you don't, when the short drama trend emerges in the future, you can increase your chances of catching it.

……

[System: The host selects the behind-the-scenes route, and the system starts. ]

Just as Chen Cheng was thinking, a voice sounded in his mind.

Although the voice was a bit abrupt, Chen Cheng, who had filmed hundreds of short dramas in his previous life, knew that it was the system.

really.

The system interface and character attribute panel flashed in my mind.

Host: Chen Cheng.

Sex: Male
Age: 19
Physique: 55+0.1
Writing: 70
Fine Arts: 40
Photo: 30
Acting: 65
Director: 35
Seeing the above attributes, Chen Cheng nodded.

The full score for the above attributes is 100 points, and the highest score is writing, which reaches 70 points.

This score is considered very high, and most professional writers have this score.

Chen Cheng knew the reason.

This is mainly because I made short plays in my previous life and wrote too many short play scripts, which also improved my writing skills a lot.

Acting skills are 65, this score is neither low nor high. It relies on the accumulation of acting skills in the previous life for more than ten years, but this is just barely enough and people can't remember you.

Other aspects are very poor.

For example, art, photography, and directing are all below 40 points.

However, the physical fitness result of 55+0.1 surprised Chen Cheng a little.

What does +0.1 mean here?
But the system soon gave an explanation.

[System: As the host exercises his body, his physical fitness will continue to improve, and the same goes for other attributes.]

This explanation is easier for Chen Cheng to understand.

As mentioned above, as long as you study hard, all your attributes will gradually increase.

At first glance it seems normal.

Because you will feel that in reality, as long as you study hard, you will gradually improve in all aspects.

But this is not actually the case.

Many times, even if you read books and study hard, you may not make any progress.

But such a data table was clearly shown to Chen Cheng.

As long as you have enough attribute points, you can increase these values ​​to the maximum.

If the director's skills are upgraded to 100 in the future, even Zhang Yimou would feel inferior to him.

Although Chen Cheng was not completely sure.

But the appearance of such a numerical panel gave Chen Cheng great expectations.

Simultaneously.

There are not only numerical panels on the system.

On another page of the panel, three route maps appeared.

There are three routes: producer route, director route, and actor route.

There are corresponding positions for each route.

The production route corresponds to: field management, on-site producer, external producer, coordination, finance, production director, supervisor, and producer.

The director route corresponds to: script supervisor, photographer, art director, set designer, makeup artist, prop master, lighting technician, sound engineer, editor, assistant director, assistant director, executive director, martial arts instructor, and director.

The actor route is gray, probably because Chen Cheng did not choose it.

Then Chen Cheng has two routes to choose from.

The production route is more inclined to serve the team, the actors, and the production of the film.

Chen Cheng prefers the director route.

However, the director route does not mean you will become a director right away.

Behind the director is actually a team with extremely detailed division of labor.

As for those who become directors from the beginning, they can only dream.

No one is willing to give you hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars to squander, even if you are very talented.

For a newcomer to start from behind the scenes and then become a director, he has to cross N levels, and it is absolutely impossible to reach the top in one step.

In fact, Chen Cheng didn't have much talent. At most, he had some experience in filming hundreds of short dramas in his previous life.

But these experiences are of no use at all when applied to regular film and television dramas.

Even if his mind was filled with countless classic movies and TV dramas from his previous life, it was useless.

A film or TV series is completed by the cooperation of hundreds or thousands of people. Even if Chen Cheng has these films in his mind, he may not be able to completely translate them into reality.

Even if it can be moved to reality, there are still a series of problems here, such as who will invest, who will ask you to be a director, what connections you have, whether the film will be popular when it is released, if not, can you still be a director... and so on.

but.

Chen Cheng had experience in his previous life, and since he was only a sophomore, he was not in a hurry about planning for the future.

He didn't think about becoming a director right away.

There are a lot of positions in the crew.

I can’t be a director at the moment, so I’ll just pick a simpler job.

Perhaps sensing what Chen Cheng was thinking, the system also issued the first task to Chen Cheng at this time:
[System: Accept the mission, become a crew member, and be rewarded with 5 points of physical fitness.]

Field service.

Also called field worker.

Awesome job.

Short name: odd jobs.
