Actor: My Entertainment Era

Chapter 16 The so-called spending money to buy characters
For Zhang Yuanjun's selection in "No. [-] in the World", teachers, friends and family members are very happy.

But there are also dissatisfaction.

Bay Island Film and Television Circle.

"No. [-] in the World" gathered capital from both sides of the strait and three places, of which Bay Island contributed the least.

However, the management also obtained a verbal promise from Wang Jing in advance that they would hand over the roles of Guihai Yidao, one of the four main protagonists, and Princess Yunluo, the second female, to Bay Island actors.

Bay Island's producer intends to push Huo Jianhua to play the most important return to the sea.

Originally there would be no auditions, but the film crew said, "We'll just go through the motions, otherwise it won't be easy to explain to the outside world", and they listened.

Huo Jianhua really prepared for the audition seriously.

He was full of ambition at the time, and looked down on the other actors who came to audition for Gui Hai Yi Dao.

I feel that they are all his foils: "What's the use of working so hard to come here, in the end the role is still mine, you are just a cover for others to see."

Now, the show announced that Guihai Yidao belongs to a film school student who has no acting experience!

How could Bay Island's producers endure such humiliation.

So they asked Wang Jing for an explanation, but if they could find Wang Jing, it would be a ghost.Wang Jing is not in the capital, not in Hong Kong Island, not even in Wuxi Film and Television City where the filming took place.I don't know where to hide.

But Wang Jing had already arranged to deal with it.

The staff of the company explained: "There is a video recording of the whole audition, and Zhang Yuanjun's qualifications in all aspects are the best among the applicants."

"But the director promised us before..."

"We don't know what Director Wang promised you in advance, but all the contracts signed by the three parties did not say that people from the Bay Island must be used for returning to the sea. Is there a disconnect between you and Director Wang?"

"Then Zhang Yuanjun will play Guihai Yidao Wang, director agree?"

"It's not enough for Director Wang to nod for every character in "No. [-] Under Heaven", we producers should have the right to make a decision.

"Of course, Princess Yunluo, we must use the actors recommended by you." Then the order to evict guests was issued.

Bay Island Film and Television has fallen faster than Hong Kong Island. Their home market has completely fallen and they must rely on the mainland.

And because of the least investment and the least right to speak, Wang Jing blatantly turned his face and they couldn't do anything about it.

A verbal promise was not written into the contract, so why do you say I breached the contract?
In fact, Wang Jing accepted Wandao's investment because of old feelings.

From the 70s to the 90s, Bay Island was the largest market for Hong Kong films. Many Hong Kong films were funded by Bay Island, and the two sides had a deep entanglement.

Now that everyone has nothing to eat, they all know that the future lies in the mainland. Wang Jing's name in the mainland is better than any director in the Bay Island.

To be honest, can Wang Jing do it without Bay Island funds?

of course can!

How many bosses in mainland China want to vote for Wang Jing.

This is also an important reason why Wang Jing dared to breach the contract - he is an uncle in the mainland and does not rely on the Bay Island market.

Wang Jing is an old fritter, a well-established figure in this circle, just a role, Wan Dao can't and doesn't need to do anything to him.

But Zhang Yuanjun suffered a disaster.

Wandao didn't care whether Zhang Yuanjun chose Guihai Yidao based on strength or tricks, but they knew that Zhang Yuanjun blocked their way.

You're an amateur, and you played the leading role of Wang Jing in your first movie. Even in the golden age of film and television in the last century, you didn't get promoted so fast.

Moreover, according to media reports, Zhang Yuanjun seems to have no background.

It doesn't matter who you are.

They were not venting their anger on Huo Jianhua, he was nothing in the star circle of Wandao.

Bay Island's producer recommended him entirely because he "has a certain reputation" and the offer is really cheap.

Huo is not deeply tied to Bay Island Capital at this time, and the capital doesn't like him.

Soon, posts attacking Zhang Yuanjun appeared on the film academy post bar.

As a school grassroots, Zhang Yuanjun is considered a celebrity in the school, and the posts about him are quite popular:
[Reveal the inside story of the school grassroots Zhang Yuanjun's "No. [-] in the World" audition! 】

The person who posted the post did not reveal his identity, but only said: "Zhang Yuanjun bribed the members of the casting team to get a piece of Guihai's knife. According to the relevant personnel of the film crew, Zhang Yuanjun spared no expense in entertaining the production company's executives in order to get the role, and 'sponsored' the film crew after the banquet with a lot of money."

Following the post is a candid photo of Zhang Yuanjun entering and exiting Wang Jing's company, shaking hands with the director surnamed Chen and talking and laughing.

Many people play on the post bar now, and this post has caused a lot of repercussions among the teachers and students of the Film Academy.

The whole thing is really too strange, and the doubts from the outside world are not unreasonable. You are a fresh face, and you can play a supporting role. If you come up and play the protagonist of Wang Jing's martial arts movie, anyone will find it strange.

02 Biaoben, especially Zhang Yuanjun's roommates refuted election bribery under the post.

"Zhang Yuanjun's homework in school is excellent. Even the teacher praised him for his talent. He is the material for this bowl of food. It's normal to have a good role on the surface."

"The person who posted the post is not from the Film Academy at first glance. Zhang Yuanjun's character has been praised by teachers and students, and he will never do such a thing."

"If you don't say that he has no skills, but if you say that he is playing tricks, you can say anything."

"Some people don't look good on others. If you have the ability, report your class name and dormitory number."

But more people who eat melons don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, and there are also people who deliberately make fire.

There are not many people in the film academy, and for a while, Zhang Yuanjun "bringing funds into the group", "using money to open the way" and "buying roles" were rumored in the school.

Regardless of whether the news is true or not, the result is that many students have some bad views on Zhang Yuanjun.

But Zhang Yuanjun, the person involved, seemed to be a normal person. He should eat and drink, attend classes on time every day, and go to the gym to train after class. He was not affected at all.

"You can still sit still." Luo Jin walked in and saw Zhang Yuanjun eating dumplings, "You can still eat."

"Hey, that's funny, I'm going to provoke someone for a meal." Zhang Yuanjun laughed.

"It's said that you buy characters, you don't know."

"I know. You can order some too," Zhang Yuanjun handed over a pair of chopsticks, "Today's dumplings are not bad. I specially asked the canteen uncle to pack some more meat. It cost me an extra 5 yuan."

Seeing that Luo Jin refused to eat, Zhang Yuanjun went on to say: "No matter what they say, I signed the contract, and the role is already mine."

"People's words are terrible, so you don't care at all?" Luo Jin sometimes really envied Zhang Yuanjun's calm and breezy attitude.

"What's the use of me caring. Will they listen to me?" Dumplings were dipped in vinegar, and they were alive and well. "And I think what they said made sense. I'm a newcomer with no experience. It's strange to play the leading role when I come up. Let people say a few words without losing meat.

"It's like we look at the luxury car at the door every day. What do we say about the beautiful girl who gets in the car? There are all kinds of dirty words, right? We have done everything, and don't let others say it?
"Listen to me, this kind of person is just looking for trouble for nothing, and the limelight is over within two days. I should join the group, and I should be filming."

Zhang Yuanjun's phone rang, it was Liu Yifei.

"I answered the phone, and you ate the rest."

　Really gone, go to bed early tonight, continue tomorrow.
