Huayu: Character templates start with Murong Fu

In a secluded corner of the "Lurking" crew, Liu Chun took the initiative to approach the agent, pulled him over, and returned all the money to him.

"You know where this money came from. To help you, I specifically went to discuss it with two directors, and that's how I got them to agree to give me an advance on my salary." Liu Chun didn't even glance at the agent while speaking, as if she didn't care about the matter at all.

"But they all said that if you ask me for money now, it's like lending it to me, and you'll still have to pay it back later."

The agent, his face burning with enthusiasm, paid no heed to Liu Chun's words, replying with whatever came to mind: "Oh, don't worry about it. After I return the money to them, I might go to the bank next time I come to withdraw some and pay you back."

"Thanks."

He patted Liu Chun on the shoulder, giving him a lecture like a senior mentor: "Don't worry, kid, I have to head back now. How about we meet again tomorrow?"

"it is good."

After watching her agent leave completely, Liu Chun returned to the filming location. The male actor was still filming on set, but his agent was allowed to leave first. Is that how it's done?

Jiang Wei turned around and saw Liu Chun standing behind him, so he got up and walked towards him: "This new actor is still a bit lacking. Brother Liu, do you have time to help him out and give him some guidance or something?"

Liu Chun looked troubled: "But director, I've only just started acting, and this 'Yu Zecheng' is only my second role. I don't have as much experience as you guys. If I don't do a good job, then I..."

Jiang Wei interrupted him, thinking for a moment before saying, "How about this, you sit next to me. You can speak your mind if you have any ideas. So far, you're the best actor in our crew, so consider it giving them some advice. Anyway, it's my decision, and I'll give you extra funding later. What do you think?"

Hearing that doing this would earn extra money, Liu Chun's interest was piqued.

Why not earn multiple incomes by simply filming movies and directing others to act?

Besides, Liu Chun is currently in need of money, so he won't easily refuse such a request.

"Well... okay, I'll try to see if I can help the director."

"Great, come on over."

Before long, Liu Chun got an extra chair to sit next to the director, looking more important than the cameramen carrying cameras. People might even think he was the third director.

Seeing that the filming wouldn't start for a few more minutes, Jiang Wei squatted down and said to Liu Chun, "Brother Liu, please sit here for a while. I'll go to the back and get some food. It'll be ready soon."

"You go about your business."

Since the other directors had also left, Liu Chun was now the only one sitting next to the director's chair, observing the entire crew with great curiosity, even though he was only there to assist them.

It must be said that the current equipment is still far from good overall, but it's good enough.

In the next decade or so, all sorts of high technology will be put to good use. A high-quality science fiction movie can be made with just a green screen, and ancient people can perform difficult and unscientific actions by being suspended by wires. Everything will be perfect.

However, the only thing that really costs money is the various special effects; spending hundreds of millions or even tens of millions per second is normal.

Just as Liu Chun was imagining comparing two different eras of development, the new actor, having changed his costume, came out and, coincidentally, saw Liu Chun sitting in the director's seat.

He felt a pang of jealousy: "This guy's just a small-time actor, how did he get to sit in that position?"

He looked around and, not finding any trace of the two directors, he ran over familiarly. Once he got close to Liu Chun, even if she ignored him, he would take the initiative to start a conversation.

"Hey! What are you doing here, a nobody like you?"

Liu Chun turned around in a very professional manner before looking at him and saying, "I'll sit here!"

Seeing that even a minor actor like Liu Chun could sit in this position, the minor actor immediately didn't stand on ceremony and plopped down in Jiang Wei's special chair.

Anyway, if he gets scolded, Liu Chun next to him will definitely get scolded too, and since he's sitting here resting, he can too.

"It's quite tiring after filming started, don't you think?"

Liu Chun suppressed a laugh, glanced around casually, and said seriously, "I think you'd better get up and leave quickly. What if the director sees you? It might look bad."

The man said smugly, "The director is nothing. I just came here to sit and rest because I was tired. Do you think he can just replace me?"

Unlike before, Liu Chun didn't laugh and joke with him. Instead, she turned her head away and pretended that she hadn't done anything and that the man had just been talking nonsense.

"What? Have you seen a ghost?"

The man turned his head, and there were directors Jiang Wei and Fu Wei, who had returned and were standing quietly watching him.

The man jumped up abruptly and hurriedly said in a humble voice, "Director... what brings you here?"

Jiang Wei remained calm, covered the water glass, sat down in the chair, and put it aside.

"Filming is about to start, so of course we have to get here early. Are you...are you ready?"

The man was brimming with excitement: "I'm ready at any moment, and we can start filming right away without any problem."

Then he looked at Liu Chun: "Why are you still sitting here? Get up and apologize to the director right now! Can't you see Director Fuwei is still standing? Hurry up!"

To everyone's surprise, Director Fuwei sat down directly in the chair next to Director Jiang Wei, completely disregarding whether Liu Chun would give him his seat.

"Director, this..."

In fact, Jiang Wei and Fu Wei didn't want to pay much attention to him at all. They were busy doing their own jobs and didn't care what was happening around them.

Seeing this, the man became even angrier. He pulled Liu Chun up and pushed her aside, then sat down next to the director.

When Jiang Wei held the script in front of him, he thought the director was going to talk to him about the details of the character so that he could perform better.

When Jiang Wei faced him, he looked solemn and asked, "Where's Brother Liu?"

"And who gave you permission to sit here?"

"Brother Liu?" the man thought for a moment and said, "That male lead, right? I don't see him!"

Jiang Wei then asked, "Where did the person who was just sitting here go?"

"He's just a minor character. This kind of position is where we hardworking actors should sit and rest, right, Director?" The man was very solicitous, which made Liu Chun look helpless, but he soon stopped smiling.

"The person who was just sitting here was Brother Liu, and Brother Liu is the male lead. Now you're telling me you kicked him out?" Jiang Wei patiently explained to him, but his anger was still evident, making the man feel both surprised and fearful.

But he still wouldn't give up: "How could that be? Director, that kid only has a few lines. I don't think he's the male lead at all. Maybe you're mistaken."

Seeing this, Fuwei chimed in, explaining, "You must have misread it? We approached that person ourselves. Their acting is way better than yours. Do you think we'd be so bored as to joke about something like this with you?"

it is true?

The man's face changed, and he looked like he wanted to cry but couldn't. He just wanted to find a hole to crawl into and wait for Brother Liu to leave before coming out.

"Is it really him?... I'm doomed."
