Chapter 522: College Students' Extras in Place
Cui Kai looked at this information with a confused look on his face.
"It's really Xu Ye's style, but I like it!"
Cui Kai continued to watch.
In the video, Xu Ye said: "A full-scene live-action role-playing game, with multiple identities for you to choose from, and the game is free of charge throughout the whole process."
As Xu Ye was talking, some classic scenes of anti-Japanese war dramas appeared on the screen.
After hearing this advertising slogan, Cui Kai's interest was aroused all of a sudden.
Live-action role-playing games are quite interesting, but unfortunately, these role-playing games on the market are expensive and fake, and are far from the effect that players want.
The video is still going on.
"Which is the best for holiday internships? The Bright Sword crew is the best. Holiday internships can also make money. The Bright Sword crew can issue a holiday internship certificate without charging any fees."
After this paragraph ended, the third paragraph began again.
"If you are bored during the holidays, do an internship during the holidays, or want to relax during the holidays, come to the Bright Sword crew. Send your resume and photos to the email address, and you will have the opportunity to join us!"
In the video, every time Xu Ye finished a paragraph of advertising slogans, he would read the email account of the Bright Sword crew again.
Repeated again and again.
When the video reached the end, Xu Ye stood in the center of the video.
He shouted: "Which extras are the best!"
The next second, countless Xu Ye appeared in the video.
Countless Xu Ye's voices overlapped and shouted: "The Bright Sword crew is the best! The Bright Sword crew welcomes you!"
The video ends here.
After watching the video, Cui Kai's mind was full of one sentence.
"Which extras are the best? The Bright Sword crew is the best!"
This advertising slogan is too magical.
Watch it again!
After extracting the key information from the video, Cui Kai paused the video. He carefully thought about the advertising slogan and found that what Xu Ye said was true.
This is not false propaganda.
Going to the crew to be an extra is not just going to participate in real-life role-playing.
And this real-life role-playing is real, and even the props are not the low-quality props in ordinary game stores.
Like internship certificates, it seems to be necessary for some college students.
As for the free meals, free transportation, and 80 yuan a day, Cui Kai doesn't care at all.
For a real-life role-playing game of this level, let alone making money, you can't even find a place to spend money.
And this is an anti-Japanese war drama, with guns and cannons, it's absolutely fun to participate in the scene.
"It just so happens that I'm bored at home during the winter vacation, so I just signed up to play and save my mom from watching me at home."
Cui Kai shared the video in the class group and asked: "Classmates, the crew of the Bright Sword is recruiting extras, does anyone want to go together?"
The class group soon became lively.
"You just found out. I've already submitted my resume. How can I get a colonel with this face?"
"I've taught myself Japanese. I think I'm qualified to play a Japanese soldier!"
"Brother, we're majoring in automation, right? When did you teach yourself Japanese and where did you learn it from?"
"You guys go play the Japanese soldiers. I'm going to play the Eighth Route Army and shoot you!"
"Get out of here. I just checked. There's a limit on the number of extras. How can you all get selected if you all go?"
After seeing the last message from this classmate, Cui Kai suddenly realized.
"It's bad. I may not get selected! This is hanging in the balance!"
But even so, no one thought of sending a message to Xu Ye to get a backdoor.
To compete for a position as an extra, and to find Xu Ye to get a backdoor, these students still have to be proud.
Such scenes happened all over the country.
The extra recruitment video recorded by Xu Ye became popular on the Internet, especially the brainwashing slogans in it, which attracted everyone's attention.
"Extras? Wrong, this is called a live-action role-playing game!"
"This video is definitely Xu Ye's own idea, the Bright Sword crew is definitely not that crazy!"
"I'm almost dying of laughter. I remember that the filming of the Bright Sword drama was supported by the army. I want to know what the army leaders think after seeing your video?"
"You know what, if I wasn't in Ancheng, I would also want to go."
"I envy the college students in Ancheng!"
With the forwarding of netizens, this recruitment video became more and more popular, and in the end even foreign students saw this video.
"No, I'm staying here, what's the point of you showing it to me, I can't go back!"
"The college students in Ancheng are so cool!"
"I want to play so much!"
The next day, the topic of the Bright Sword crew recruiting college students for extras directly landed on Weibo's hot search.
With the spontaneous support of college students, the popularity could not be reduced at all.
Song Zhengqi of Bluebird Entertainment was dumbfounded when he received this news.
He sat on the chair with a confused look on his face, and he couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time.
"They gave up their vacation time to work, but these college students are still so active?"
Only 80 yuan a day, even if they work for a month, it's only 2,400 yuan, which is not much money at all.
They are unwilling to do a job that pays 2,400 yuan, and the extras who pay 2,400 yuan are very active. What's going on?
Let alone Song Zhengqi, the entire entertainment industry is messed up by Xu Ye's operation.
Who would have thought that turning the group search into a real-life role-playing game would attract so much attention.
However, people in the entertainment industry are still watching.
Now that the film is just becoming more popular, there is no telling whether it can really recruit people or how the recruited college students will perform when they join the crew.
Bashui Film and Television City.
The casting director and his staff were already very busy.
They never expected that in just one day from when they posted the video yesterday to today, they would have received more than a thousand resumes in their mailboxes.
Everyone is working overtime to screen these resumes.
Fortunately, in Xu Ye's recruitment video, the requirements are clearly stated in humorous slogans. Although there are still some college students who do not meet the requirements and want to muddle through, they are only a minority.
The casting director was immersed in a state of happiness.
The matter of extras was solved so easily.
Three days later, Liangjian's official Weibo and This is a Big Studio announced that the recruitment of group actors was over, and the admission results would be notified within two days.
Those who can submit resumes are basically college students living in Anseong, and the number of these college students is not a small number.
Two days later, Cui Kai, who was still at school, received a text message.
"Your resume has been reviewed. You are sincerely invited to join the crew of "Bright Sword". Please..."
After seeing this text message, Cui Kai sent a screenshot to the class group.
"I was admitted, who else!"
After he sent it, two classmates also sent their text messages in the group.
This makes other students in the group envious.
"I'm not upset if you keep me safe, but I'm really upset if you join the team!"
"Old Cui, you are in the group just for fun. Remember to take a video and share with us how the scene was shot!"
"Yeah, I'm quite curious."
"Old Cui, take more videos, and remember to get autographs for us when you see celebrities!"
Cui Kai said in the group: "Well, let me just share the life of the crew on my trembling hands. I don't know if the director will let me share it. If I do, my hands will tremble. Please pay attention to my Number."
Cui Kai posted his shaking hands number in the group.
On January 20th, Cui Kai had returned home from vacation. Early in the morning, he carried his schoolbag and headed to the designated location of the crew.
When he arrived at the meeting point, he found that there were already more than a dozen buses parked here. There was also a banner on the bus "Special pick-up and drop-off bus for the cast and crew of "Bright Sword"".
The corners of Cui Kai's mouth twitched.
"Xu Ye is also very good at publicity. He even misses the advertisements on the bus."
When Cui Kai arrived, someone checked his ID card and then let him get on the bus.
After the car was full, we immediately set off for the film and television city.
At this time, in the film and television city, Du Chonglin and the crew waited at the intersection for a while. Not long after, a nanny car stopped and Xu Ye got out of the trunk of the nanny car.
The people present were already very familiar with Xu Ye, and they were relieved to see Xu Ye get out of the trunk.
There was also a middle-aged man standing in the crowd with an outstanding temperament. He was the actor Jiang Linye who played Li Yunlong.
After everyone greeted each other, they walked towards the filming location together.
Du Chonglin smiled and said: "Xu Ye, I really didn't expect that there would be so many college students who want to be extras. This way I can even save a lot of money."
The crew recruits extra actors directly, without middlemen to make profit differences, which saves money.
The key is to be quick, it only took a few days to get it done.
Du Chonglin said with some anxiety: "I just don't know how these students will perform."
"Don't worry, everyone must have performed well." Xu Ye said with a smile.
This is not Xu Ye's boasting. Since ancient times, there have been masters among the people. There are many folk actors whose acting skills are better than those of some little fresh meat.
Just because you are an actor doesn't mean you are good at acting.
Popular celebrities act for money, while college students act for the sake of acting well.
No matter how bad an actor is, being an extra is enough.
Xu Ye came to the scene today to see the shooting situation and to teach these college student actors how to act.
A group of people were chatting while waiting for the extras to take their seats.
Not long after, buses arrived at the filming site one after another.
After Cui Kai got out of the car with his bag on his back, he looked at the surrounding scene with curiosity.
The set here has almost been set up, and some props for filming are also placed outside, including cannons and prop guns. Cui Kai is eager to try it out.
"This is so cool!"
He was already imagining the scene of him wearing Eighth Route Army clothes and killing little Japs on the battlefield.
At this moment, a staff member stopped him and said, "Look at your ID card."
After Cui Kai showed his ID card to the staff member, the staff member flipped through the list in his hand and said, "Go to booth No. 5 to put on makeup and change clothes."
Cui Kai asked curiously: "Brother, do you know what I am playing?"
The staff member said directly: "You play the role of a little devil."
Cui Kai was stunned immediately.
With my height and looks, why do I play a little devil?
"Brother, why am I playing the role of a little devil? I think I am more than good enough to play the Eighth Route Army."
The staff member laughed and said: "There are too many people who want to be extras. If you had a chance in other TV shows, but in Our Sword, you are still a little bit behind. There are too many people who are more handsome than you."
Cui Kai was suddenly speechless.
After he entered the shed, changed clothes and put on makeup, he took out his mobile phone and took a selfie video.
"On the first day I came to the Liangjian crew, I was asked to play the role of a little devil. I was a little unhappy. I hope my parents won't remove me from the family tree."
