Entertainment starts with variety shows

Chapter 580
When Wang Chengyang was in touch with colleagues in the company, Zhang Yi approached the director Lu Yang, and he was also in touch with him. It was rare to meet someone who got along well.

After three rounds of drinking, with a cigarette in his hand, Lu Yang said with a smile, "Operation Red Sea, you became popular, with billions of box office, and now starring in a big drama, you may be popular again in a few months. .”

"How can it be so simple, I am born to be a small character, so I can't be popular!"

In a daze, Zhang Yi thought of what the director of Soldier Assault said to him more than ten years ago, if an actor is 27 years old and can't make it, he should change careers as soon as possible.

He was 26 to 27 that year.

Sure enough, the word became a prophecy, since then he has never been popular again, and it is often the dramas that are not popular, and the box office of Red Sea Action is so high, the audience only remembers Fang Jing.

Xiuchundao became Lu Yang's masterpiece, and he also participated in the performance, all the attention was on Zhang Zheng.

Lighting a cigarette for himself, Zhang Yi took a deep breath and said after a while: "Sometimes I accept my fate. I will be popular at the age of 40. I am destined to be soy sauce in this life."

"In the future, I'll eat and wait to die in the company. It's not bad to act as a play for newcomers, or to be a trainer."

He has been in the industry for 20 years, and he really doesn't know how to do other things. He feels that he is no different from a useless person. Act better, and he has some experience along the way.

"Don't be so discouraged, now the company attaches great importance to veteran actors." Leaning on the chair, Lu Yang said: "Nanjing is a film and television company that I have seen that treats veteran actors more than traffic niches."

"The last meeting said that the company will go all out to make movies in the future, with older actors as the mainstream."

Shoot as long as you don't lose money!This is what Yang Ning once said.

Some movies don't make money, but as long as they don't lose money, the company agrees to make them. On the one hand, it gives the director a chance to exercise, and the actors won't be idle.

After six or seven films a year, the director has practiced his skills, and the actors have more opportunities to be exposed. If they accidentally make a blockbuster, they will make a lot of money.

Actors, directors, prop masters, lighting engineers, supporting actors... One film can support hundreds of people.

With eyes shining, Zhang Yi leaned forward and asked urgently, "Director Lu, do you think I still have a chance to play the leading role in a movie?"

"Yes! The company is following the path of the Korean film market. The investment in a film will not be too large. The main content, you actors are the most suitable actors."

In the whole of Asia, the mainland entertainment circle is the slowest developing one, and the current model and status quo have already passed through other countries' entertainment circles.

Many classic movies in South Korea next door are low-budget, and even a dozen or so actors make up one movie.

This is what Fang Jing is going to do next. A movie with a budget of 5000 million or less will focus on old dramas. As long as it doesn't lose money and the project is suitable, it will be shot.

Anyway, the sky-high salary will not happen in the company, the company can't give artists more money, only opportunities.

Seize the opportunity and become popular, there are plenty of money out there for you to earn.

After receiving Lu Yang's reply, Zhang Yi regained his energy in an instant, with an uncontrollable smile on his face, "Director Lu, please take care of me in the future."

Picking up a glass of wine, Zhang Yi raised his head and drank it down.

A small cost means a small cost, he doesn't care about that, as long as there is a movie to shoot.

In fact, most of the expenses of a film are put on the actors' remuneration. If the remuneration is reduced, the small cost is similar to that of a large film.

"Drink less, you have to take someone to the set tomorrow, don't get up by then."

"It's okay! I'm happy!" Zhang Yi's face turned red, "I'm 40 years old, how can there be a 40-year-old protagonist, if I can play the protagonist a few more times, I will die without regret."

"There will be opportunities in the future. Mr. Fang said that there will be opportunities in the seventies and eighties."

Seeing Zhang Yi's state, Lu Yang sighed, where is there no 40-year-old protagonist?In other countries, the older the actors, the more valuable they are, and most of the popular ones are middle-aged and elderly actors.

Only here, traffic is the mainstay, and the capital behind it is also speculated.

……

The next day, leading a group of people, Wang Chengyang came to the actors' union to apply for an actor's certificate.

Although they are here to study, they can also get money for playing tricks, lying in the mud, entering the water, and acting as dead bodies. It costs hundreds of dollars a day, and a lot of money a month.

The people in the training class are not all children from rich families, but also from ordinary families.

"Let's go, everyone get in the car and go to the set. Today we will be acting in an anti-Japanese drama."

Zhang Yi didn't get up, so he told Wang Chengyang early in the morning, asking him to take everyone to the set to find the crew, in the name of exercising their independence.

When I came to the crew and changed my clothes, the boys all played the same role, that is, lying in the river, running from one end to the other end, the water was not deep, just above knees.

The girl played the role of a nurse, standing under the awning in a white coat, and several wailing and seriously ill people were lying on a simple stretcher.

"Brothers, come with me!!"

"kill!!"

Influenced by Wang Chengyang, everyone deeply remembers not to shout about being tired or suffering, especially not in front of the director.

The river was knee-high, and the shoes leaked after one trip. After several trips, the whole body was wet, and I jumped into the water when I ran in a hurry.

At this time, Wang Chengyang, who shouted to promote hard work and hard work, was lying in a sandbag pit acting as a dead body, eh!The hat covers half of the face, and the body is turned sideways to play with the mobile phone.

"Get off the road, pay attention to the way off."

"Push the tower, what are the junglers doing?"

"I'll go, you guys are too foolish."

Putting down the record of zero bars and eleven, Wang Chengyang sighed, exhausted physically and mentally, these people couldn't move.

Originally, he wanted to put away the phone, but when he heard the assistant director yelling to do it again, he still gave up the idea.

Anti-Japanese dramas are the most tiring. He ran around all day. He used to shoot a lot when he was in Hengdian. For a half-minute segment, he had to change the camera seven or eight times, and the group actors had to follow him seven or eight times. After half a day, he was exhausted. .

So as soon as he arrived on the set, he occupied this pit.

"Beauty, are you an intern from the Film Academy?" Zhang Bei, who was seriously injured, chatted with the female nurse on the stretcher.

The job of squatting in the pit was robbed by a grandson. He had no place to toss and turn to sleep, so he could only find a character who was seriously injured and lay on a stretcher.

"No, we are contracted artists of Nanjing, and the company brought us here to study."

The movements of her hands remained unchanged, and the girl bandaged Zhang Bei, speaking and working correctly.

"Nanjing's! It's amazing, is it Fang Jing's company? It's amazing. I didn't expect that I would have a day to act with a big star. It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Don't move around, we have a camera here, and you will be photographed if you turn over." The girl curled her lips and said lightly: "I'm not a big star, and I haven't made my debut yet."

"Oh, it's not important. After entering Nanjing, it's not a matter of time before you become a star? By the way, what's your name? I can brag to others when you become popular in the future, saying that I have acted with you."

"Ni Wei!"

"That's a good name. Your accent sounds familiar. Where are you from? Maybe we're still fellow villagers." The more he talked, the more excited he became, and Zhang Bei almost didn't get up.

"From Guangdong Province!"

"Leihou, pretty girl! I'm also from Guangdong Province, so we are really fellow villagers, so please take care of me in the future... Are you still short of people in Nanjing?"
