Actually I just want to act

Chapter 165 Resources and Networks

At around ten o'clock in the evening, the crew finally called it a day, because Fang Jiming said that he didn't want to be paid, so the crew took it seriously and didn't give him the money for the day.According to the director, if it wasn't for free, he would have been kicked out of the crew long ago.

Fang Jiming also didn't have any discernment, so he didn't praise the director.Fortunately, the director is very busy, and he doesn't have time to get to know Fang Jiming.

Seeing that the equipment had started to be packed and the show was over, Fang Jiming got up now, ready to go back to the private room, take his clothes to the collective bathroom to take a shower, and then sleep on the hard plank bed.

Unexpectedly, Peng Zhengwei came over and said, "I'm going to have a drink, let me introduce you to the protagonists of this scene."

Fang Jiming was happy: "Tomorrow morning you will start work at nine o'clock, and you still drink?"

Peng Zhengwei said: "Actors work so hard, if they don't have some fun, how can they cheer up tomorrow?"

"What you said is so reasonable, I can't refute it." Fang Jiming said jokingly.

Peng Zhengwei said in a low voice: "Actually, those two are also related to Nortel. If Nortel recruits them to make a movie, their salary will be [-]% less than other people's. Junior, if you want to deepen your career in this industry, get to know them better." People, there is no harm."

Fang Jiming really wanted to say that he was destined to be a big boss in the future, and even if he made movies and TV shows, he would definitely invest in them himself.As for the selection of actors, it's up to whoever auditions and whoever is suitable for the role, there is no need to say which one.From this point of view, Fang Jiming can also become a popular star, so why should he know those so-called big stars?

But after thinking about it, it seemed right to know more people, so Fang Jiming said, "Okay, I'll go over and have something to eat."

In fact, it is nothing more than a few food stalls integrated into a food street.Here, there are grilled skewers, grilled cold noodles, large plate chicken, and hot pot restaurants. It's already ten o'clock, and there are quite a lot of people.After going to a fairly clean shop, Peng Zhengwei took Fang Jiming to meet the hero and heroine of the play.The boy's name is Zhao Yinliang, and the girl's name is Xiaohua. The unknown Xiaohua is called Gao Mantong.According to Peng Zhengwei, Zhao Yinliang was picked up by a director who graduated from Nortel, and Gao Mantong was a graduate of Nortel.It can be said that the relationship with Nortel is indeed somewhat.

"The director is here, sit down..."

Zhao Yinliang also ignored the exhaustion of filming and began to please the director.In fact, what he was courting was not Peng Zhengwei, but the resources behind Peng Zhengwei.No matter how you say it, Peng Zhengwei graduated from the director department of Nortel, which is rooted in Zhengmiaohong, but all the resources of Nortel can speak for themselves.Celebrities, like ordinary people, are afraid of offending their patrons.

Gao Mantong obviously just came out, and he didn't know what to say, so he quickly poured a glass of wine for Peng Zhengwei, and when he wanted to pour wine for Fang Jiming, Fang Jiming quickly said: "I'm allergic to alcohol, I can't drink it. Went to the hospital to lie down overnight."

Speaking of this, Gao Mantong stopped pouring wine because he was still a small character.

Before I could speak, the skewers were served.Zhao Yinliang said: "Just eat, you're welcome..."

Peng Zhengwei smiled and said, "Let me introduce you, Xiaotong. This is your junior, a freshman from Nortel, who hasn't reported yet."

It was only then that Gao Mantong took a high look at Fang Jiming, and found that Fang Jiming was a bit "unattractive". Anyway, compared to Zhao Yinliang, he was not a little less handsome.Looking at herself, she was also chosen as the heroine because of her beauty. "Could it be that Nortel has started to cultivate supporting roles?" After thinking about it, Gao Mantong also smiled and said: "It's a junior, and the senior didn't say it earlier, they are all from our own, eat it, don't be polite."

Fang knew what he meant, and after eating a skewer, he listened to their bragging.

Zhao Yinliang didn't take Fang Jiming seriously either, even if he was a famous person, he was at most an equal in front of him. "Brother Peng, after this movie, is there any other movie that you can take on? I heard that there seems to be a big production on the big screen at Galaxy Films?"

Peng Zhengwei smiled: "You are too well informed, aren't you?"

Zhao Yinliang chuckled and said, "Isn't this a bit of a connection... It's Director Cheng of Galaxy Films, who seems to have graduated from the Directing Department of Beidian?"

Peng Zhengwei said: "Yes, it's a pity that people don't recognize us little guys."

That's right, movies and TV shows are two different dimensions.

It can be said that Zhao Yinliang is a household name for acting in TV, but his age is also at that point. If he continues to make TV dramas and is not promoted, it will be time for Zhao Yinliang to leave the entertainment circle in two years when he is "old and decrepit".Well, at that time, it is estimated that Zhao Yinliang was only in his 30s and less than 40 years old.This is something Zhao Yinliang can't bear, it's like after a star gets used to the spotlight, he can't return to the life of an ordinary person.

This is different from Xiangjiang’s stars, who are all very down-to-earth—well, there are some who pretend to be aggressive, but not many.

Anyway, if you have enjoyed the appearance of being sought after by thousands of people, it will be difficult for you to adapt to the desertedness of "no crowd".People like Zhao Yinliang are most taboo about past artists.This is why Zhao Yinliang has been looking for opportunities to break through on the big screen.But things are not that simple. If Zhao Yinliang doesn't want to act in a low-cost movie, it's fine if the box office is good. If the box office is bad, he will directly block his way out.

If you are looking for a big-budget movie, no one else needs him to act. So many movie actors come to audition, why give you the role?
So, this is Zhao Yinliang's prisoner's dilemma.Zhao Yinliang's personal best choice is not the best choice pursued by the film and television company, this is not a win-win situation.

Capital is very realistic, you can't bring the maximum benefit, why use you, right?

But people are alive, so Zhao Yinliang tried every means to establish a relationship.Nortel, a seemingly casual name, is actually just like a civil servant. As long as you know one of them, it is easy to find a breakthrough.Referrals are always the only magic weapon.Relationships, relationships, that's how they come about.

After Fang Jiming figured this out, he felt that Zhao Yinliang was going in the wrong direction.Since it is a game of capital, not a game of interpersonal relationships, why not become the capital side yourself?However, it is estimated that Zhao Yinliang would not dare to give it a try, because even making movies seems to be quite profitable, and making TV dramas is not bad.But when you invest yourself, you will know how many people lose their money.

This is why being a boss is very profitable, but few people choose to be a boss-the risk is too great.As a wage earner, the risk is passed on to the boss.However, the opportunity to make a lot of money is gone.

Peng Zhengwei drank some wine and ate some grilled skewers, before he said, "The most I can do is get in touch with you to see if I can get you a chance to audition."

Zhao Yinliang hurriedly said: "Thank you, Brother Peng, thank you, Brother Peng. After the matter is completed, there must be a big thank you!"

Peng Zhengwei said: "You're being polite, we're all from our own company, so what are you talking about. Come and have a drink."
