Fengcheng old events

Chapter 465

life goes on.

Apart from going to work, Zhang Xinglong just goes out with these colleagues and friends, or where to gain knowledge.

Such as film and television companies.

The company Wei Wei works for is in the North Cinema. Enter from the gate of the studio, follow the old house of Rongning Mansion on the left to the back, pass the gate of Building No. [-], and walk along the tree-lined road to the back of the main building.

The Meigong Building is also the location of the University of Music, Film and Television.

The company is on the second floor, go up to the office facing the stairs.

There are quite a lot of film and television companies like BJ at the moment, and they advertise in newspapers every day to recruit actors, attracting a large number of "dream" young people, full of hope.

But in fact, it is a bit unreliable. These companies are actually not much different from those group leaders. The so-called actors hired here are just extras from time to time.

But how should I put it, it can be regarded as providing an opportunity to get in touch with film and television. This thing is not sure, who knows who will be taken by a director or an adult someday.

There are no conditions to apply for actors in these places. Anyone can do it. Just submit a few photos and pay a registration fee. Then go back and wait for news. When there is work, you will be notified by phone. What do you usually do, and you have to earn money Feed themselves.

There are quite a few young people sending money here with photos every day. The main job of the company is to collect money and invoice, and stuff the photos into the album.It's quite profitable.

There are also performances, and it cannot be said that there are too few, but it is obviously too little to be distributed to everyone. What about extras, can you expect to have work every day?

Besides, there are too many bulk groups in the rural towns next to the film and television base, and the competition is quite large.

Zhang Yang has been there.

A small courtyard of a farmhouse, crowded with dozens of people, filled with a stench, living in separate genders is considered a good condition, most of them struggle to turn over, the 'dreamers' from all over the country seem to be fleeing famine Like living here, waiting for good luck to come.

No matter what you eat here, you have to pay for living here. Just such a small yard that is crowded like a pig's nest costs seven to eight hundred yuan a month for living expenses.

Then wait for the host, that is, the leader of the group to find a job, and if there is a job, the leader of the group will get a commission.

Surrounding the Huairou film and television base, from Zhanggezhuang to Zhaogezhuang, these dreamy youths supported at least dozens of group leaders, bought luxury houses and cars, made contacts, and continued to make a fortune.

And these dreamers just keep going, and keep asking for money from home until they can't go on anymore. The little money earned by the group performers can't even fill their stomachs. I really can't figure out what they are doing for.

Although the formal consulting companies in Beiying, where Zhang Yang often goes, are doing group leader work, they are not so exploitative. The staff take care of themselves, do what they should do, and find places to make money.

If there is a live show here, please call and let me know. If you can come, come and perform. Generally, a TV drama performance costs 30 yuan, and [-] yuan if there are close-up scenes. It doesn’t matter if there are lines. It’s [-] yuan. .

This price is what the company can give you after it has been picked up.

Movies require more money, but there are too few opportunities. The area around BJ is basically centered around TV dramas, and it’s really exciting to be able to catch up with movies once in a while.

However, movies also have high requirements for group performances. It depends on the image and appearance, and it is not something you can go if you want.The requirements for large and small screens vary too much.

Zhang Yang also followed Wei Wei to the filming scene to play, he didn't need money, he just played along.

Wei Wei is relatively good in group performances. He has some contacts and more performance opportunities. He also accepts some commercials. He has a big dog, which often appears in some film and television dramas or commercials to help him earn money. A lot of money.

……

"Hello, old Zhang?"

"Well, it's me. If you call me, can someone else come out?"

"Hehe, there's a TV show, do you want to go? It has close-up shots and lines, at least 3 minutes."

"Go, go, definitely go, where are you filming?"

"It's just on the edge of the city. I don't know the exact location. Anyway, let's go. The crew has a car."

"when?"

"Come over tomorrow morning, can you?"

"Okay, where can I find you?"

"Just go to the door of the company. I'll wait for you there, okay?"

"The entrance of Beiying or the entrance of the company?"

"Beiying Beiying, at the gate of the factory, 10:30, on time, okay?"

"Okay, TV show or movie?"

"Tv series, what do you want, and movies. Shave your hair, you want to be bald."

"Have you shaved? Oh, so you shaved it. Okay, I haven't shaved my head yet. Let me do it."

Many people who often play roles have bald heads. This is for work, and any image can be used. The reason is that in recent years, there have been a lot of jobs with braids, and they have to wear special headgear. The hair is not suitable, and it is uncomfortable to cover.

Hanging up the phone, Zhang Xinglong looked in the mirror, this hair is so beautiful, by the way, will it be ugly if you shave your head?But when I think about it, for a shot that lasts more than three minutes, let's shave it and leave him alone.

I ran to a barber shop in the alley of the sheep spinning shop next door, shaved my big bald head, and felt awkward looking at myself in the mirror, so I bought a hat and put it on, and then I put on sunglasses, and finally I was able to see it.

The next day, he arrived at the gate of BJ's film studio just after ten o'clock.Jimen Bridge.

Crossing the overpass is the gate of Beiying. There are a group of people waiting for performance opportunities all year round. Whenever someone walks by, dozens of pairs of eyes will stare at them, waiting for a director or assistant casting director to recognize them.

There are those with long beards and fluttering fairy-like bones, those with thick eyebrows, big eyes, complexion, red-black beard and glaring eyes, and those who are skinny and old Red Army in military uniforms. Anyway, you can find almost any image you want here.

These people have been watching movies for many years. Many people have actually shown their faces on the big screen, but no one remembers them.The class of these people is much higher than those dreamers who keep in Huairou, at least they can support themselves.

The big sun was hanging in the sky, and Zhang Xinglong, who was covering his hat and sunglasses, was sweating very quickly. Fortunately, Wei Wei and the others came fairly quickly, so it didn't take long to bask in the sun here.

A dilapidated bunny, with the director, assistant director, scene reporter, and two staff members sitting on it.

Wei Wei beckoned Zhang Xinglong to get in the car, and said a few words to the director, the director took a few glances and nodded: "Okay, this image is a bit suitable, let's go."

"Then you see, the person I was looking for definitely didn't tell you anything." Wei Wei smiled and wiped gold on his face.

The van headed north all the way, and soon left the city, heading towards Shunyi.

This side is still a rural scene at the moment, and it hasn't been developed much yet.

Halfway through, the director called to stop, and a group of people ate at a small restaurant by the side of the road, wontons, shortbread, fried dough sticks and soy milk.
