They have become goddess husbands, who needs a superstar system

Chapter 481 Group Actor Xu Xiaoqiang ([-]-in-[-])

In May, Hengdian has entered midsummer mode.

In the blue sky, there were only a few clouds floating lazily, and the sun like a fireball burned the earth fiercely.The municipal flowers were wilted, and the grass on the roadside was still showing its green leaves tenaciously, but soon it was trampled into the soil by the people swarming by.

"I'm anxious to hire ten extras here. Anyone who has acted in anti-Japanese dramas can follow me!"

"I want two extras here, the slightly fatter one, you, and you, come with me!"

"Is there anyone who can dance?"

This kind of excitement near the Hengdian Group Performance Square happens every once in a while. Group leaders who recruit people come and leave with groups of people.

A dark-skinned man with a short haircut actively rushed forward every time, but always came back disappointed.

There is no way, his conditions are relatively average, not only he looks ordinary, but he is also a bit short, and there is nothing in his body that makes him a special actor.In this age where appearances are all about looks, it is difficult for a group actor like him to find a suitable role.

However, the short-haired man seemed to be quite popular, and a middle-aged extra who had just returned from filming started chatting with him.

"Xiaoqiang, why don't you join the group I recommended? Zhang Datou has a wide network of contacts and knows many directors. If you join, you will definitely get more jobs than you do now! Like the one I just went to act in The micro-short drama was introduced to me by Zhang Datou. Although the money was not much, it was shot quickly and was completed in less than two hours."

The middle-aged extras advised.

"Brother Wu, I don't want to go. Zhang Datou bullies people! You have to pay 100 yuan to join the group, and then you have to pay every month!"

Xu Xiaoqiang felt that those people were all scammers, just like the fraud cases often publicized in the community. They defrauded him of all his money and would not introduce him to a job when the time came.

"The 100 yuan is the information fee. I'm afraid that others will sneak in and inquire about the information. But Zhang Datou is really very domineering. He not only collects the 100 yuan, but he also takes the most money from us as extras."

The middle-aged actor sighed.

What can he do?

It's all for life.
"However, Xiaoqiang, there is a saying that if you don't want to let go of your children, you can't trap the wolf. If you want to stand out in a movie, you really need to find them. Like the martial arts you are good at, if you don't hang out with these gangsters, others need to know martial arts. If you're an extra or a stand-in, you won't get the chance at all."

The middle-aged extras know that Xu Xiaoqiang is different from them. They have been beaten by reality and have lost their temper and the courage to climb up.But Xu Xiaoqiang still has dreams. He wants to be a real great actor and a powerful star.

Although the middle-aged extras felt that Xu Xiaoqiang's conditions were even worse than his own, and that he could not escape the consequences of compromising reality in the end, but considering that Xu Xiaoqiang usually helped him move things and get express delivery without any regrets, he still Nagging Xu Xiaoqiang a few words.

"Brother Wu, if you don't hang out with these people, won't you have a chance to get ahead?"

Xu Xiaoqiang asked unconvinced.

"Yes, have you read "Space Exploration Editorial Department"?"

The middle-aged actor laughed.

Xu Xiaoqiang shook his head blankly.

"Well, you have watched "Oldboy" after all, right? I see you have used this song as your mobile phone ringtone."

The middle-aged extra said.

"I've seen it! Brother Wu, last time I watched it with Dachun, we both cried! It's so good, but even if you get older, you can't forget your dreams!"

Xu Xiaoqiang's eyes lit up and he said to him excitedly.

After saying that, he couldn't help but hum, "That's the person I miss day and night and love deeply."

In Xu Xiaoqiang's mind, he was singing.But to the ears of others, this was definitely a mess of dialects. Not only did he sing in a tune that was tens of thousands of kilometers off, he also used the dialect accent of his hometown, which sounded very strange.

"Don't sing, don't sing, Xiaoqiang, we are one of our own."

The middle-aged extras covered his mouth in confusion.

"The example I'm talking about is Ma Dabao in "Oldboy". His actor's name is Ma Shiqing."

"I remember, Ma Dabao! He sang beautifully!"

"Yes, he is not good-looking just like you. He used to hang out in Hengdian, and his life was very unsatisfactory. If he hadn't been able to sing and work part-time in a bar at night to make some money, he probably wouldn't be able to survive today. .I’ve seen him sing before!”

When the middle-aged group speaker talked about this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, as if he had interacted with this big star before and felt quite proud.

Xu Xiaoqiang looked at the other person intently, listening to the story with concentration, as if he saw the dawn of hope in the name "Ma Shiqing".

"He first became famous because he acted in "Where the Wind Is". As long as you know that this drama is very popular, because after this drama, Ma Shiqing has a very good impression in the minds of people across the country. He Those fans still call him Ma Ye!"

When the middle-aged extras saw Xu Xiaoqiang's confused eyes, they knew that he didn't know the well-known drama "Where the Wind Goes".

"Then he filmed "Space Exploration Editorial". He was the star of that movie. I forgot the box office of that movie, but it seemed to have broken a record. Do you think it was great? "Oldboy" was filmed later. Of course, "Oldboy" is even more popular."

When Xu Xiaoqiang listened to the other party's story, his eyes couldn't help but reveal a trace of yearning.

It turns out that group acting can really become a talent!

Originally he was still blindly holding on to his dream, but now that he heard Ma Shiqing's story, Xu Xiaoqiang felt that he had found the way forward just like a night sailing ship seeing a lighthouse.

However, Xu Xiaoqiang didn't know that Ma Shiqing was not a real group performer in the strict sense.

Because he used to be a singer. Although he was not famous, he had appeared in the entertainment industry and had a contract with an agent.

This situation is very similar to that of Yang Yi and Zhang Jiajun. Although Yang Yi does not have an agent and Zhang Jiajun has never sung, Yang Yi, who has a professional background, and Zhang Jiajun, who has acted in many dramas, each have certain connections. , can support them to play some less outstanding roles, but at least have some weight.

In comparison, Liao Chunsheng should be regarded as a "big name" who came from group performances.

He did not come from a professional background, but he worked his way up from the bottom of Hengdian. If Liao Chunsheng had still chosen to be an actor, he would have been regarded as an idol by the extras in Hengdian, like Ma Shiqing, and worshiped like a god.Of course, although Liao Chunsheng's reputation among the group of performers is far less than that of Ma Shiqing, when he appeared in Hengdian, the old group leaders who had been brothers with him or regarded him as a thorn in the side were all alarmed!
"Welcome Director Liao to come back to Hengdian for inspection!"

"Director Liao, we are really honored that you come to our place for dinner. It's so radiant!"

"Director Liao, let me toast you!"

Xu Xiaoqiang couldn't find a job, so he could only hold the dozens of dollars in his pocket and didn't know what to eat. At noon that day, Liao Chunsheng was in an ordinary restaurant in Hengdian, drinking and drinking with the well-known leaders of Hengdian. Reminiscing about the past.

Liao Chunsheng was defended by everyone and took the main seat. Even the owner of the hotel took the opportunity to come over and toast to him.

His development is no longer a secret among these old group leaders!

Following Yang Yihuang, from a small actor, from a small group actor with nothing, to now he has become a great director!
Moreover, Liao Chunsheng is not just an ordinary crew member, nor is he even an assistant director who just follows Yang Yi. His encyclopedia information contains the director's work - "Crazy"!

Only one film in which he served as the main director?
It doesn't matter, just the show "Crazy" is enough!
People all over the country saw how popular "Hurry" was when it was aired last year.

Although many people in the industry are discussing whether Yang Yi is directing the drama "Kurst" and it is just Liao Chunsheng's name, but even so, Liao Chunsheng's status is far from that of them who can only plunder ordinary extras. The old gang leader can compare!

They also hope that they can hook up with Liao Chunsheng and have the opportunity to find actors for Mumu Film and Television's TV series or movies in the future!
"Director Liao, your Mumu Film and Television business is getting better and better now! But it seems like you don't come to Hengdian to film very often?"

"Yes, Director Liao, actually, the effect of "Cyclone" was the same when it was shot in our Hengdian. Aren't there also many old buildings in our Lao Modu Film and Television Base?"

"According to me, the most suitable drama to be filmed in our Hengdian is "Dragon". How many costume dramas across the country are filmed in our Hengdian every year? Director Liao, if you are looking for an actor, why should you look for a substitute? Isn't it also our Hengdian?" Is he a good person? Just make a call and tell me what kind of role you want. I can get it to you in 15 minutes instead of half an hour!"

"Why do you need 15 minutes? I'll give you 10 minutes. I'll send you over now for Director Liao to choose! What type do you want? Lolita, royal sister, good figure, or student girl."

"Wu Datou, do you want to listen to what you said? Are you talking about an actor?"

"Hahaha, it's all OK, it's all OK!"

They were drinking wine with glowing faces, and soon the topic went off the rails.

Liao Chunsheng smiled and pretended not to understand. After a while, he finally talked about the main purpose of his visit to Hengdian.

"Uncle Zhao just said that Mumu Film and Television has never come to Hengdian to film. This is indeed true. In the past, most of the films filmed by Mumu Film and Television were based on real scenes. They were usually shot directly in cities like Zhanjiang and Jiangmen. Local The government has also given great support.

The "Dragon" filmed last year was originally planned to be shot in Hengdian, but later we cooperated with Mr. Zhu from Huaqiang Culture. He helped us build a film and television culture for "Dragon" in Dali. The base was later decided to be shot in Dali.

But it definitely doesn’t mean that we don’t want to come to Hengdian to film. Director Yang and I are both people who have gone out to Hengdian. If we have the opportunity, we definitely want to come back to Hengdian to film and rediscover the feeling back then.

This time I came here with the intention of making a movie about our Hengdian actors.Although I am the director of this film, Director Yang has given me a lot of valuable advice on script creation, and he will also serve as the director of this film, and will also come to Hengdian to watch us filming. .

Uncle Guo, Uncle Zhao, dear brothers, I was indebted to your care and support before I developed in Hengdian.The film I shot this time can be said to be my film debut, and this film will definitely require a lot of extras, so when the time comes, I still need your support and help from all the big brothers! "

Liao Chunsheng's words are very clever.

On the one hand, he wants these people to know that he, Liao Chunsheng, is no longer what he used to be.Regardless of his status in the film and television industry or the connections he has with bosses, officials, etc., he far surpasses these group leaders who can only live in the "small place" of Hengdian.

On the other hand, he made these people feel that after he became a great director, Liao Chunsheng did not maintain a very high profile.Liao Chunsheng did maintain a good attitude of respect for these old acquaintances, especially the old group leaders like "Uncle Guo" and "Uncle Zhao" who had taken care of him.

Liao Chunsheng's movie about the counterattack of group actors was shot in Hengdian. It was indeed necessary to find the most suitable and simple actors hidden in every corner of Hengdian through these old group leaders.

According to relevant statistics, there are as many as 10 extras in Hengdian!

Without these old group leaders who control a large number of group performance resources, Liao Chunsheng's selection of actors would be as troublesome as finding a needle in a haystack!
Not to mention, if Liao Chunsheng had not established a good relationship with them, it would have caused unpleasant troubles, and Liao Chunsheng's crew would have been unable to move forward in Hengdian.
Therefore, Liao Chunsheng must talk and laugh with them, and even laugh away the grudges with the group leaders who had a small dispute before. At the same time, he must also let the other party see clearly the power behind him, so that these people can be used by him. , and not so arrogant that he loses control.

"Director Liao, don't worry, just tell us what kind of actor you need, and we guarantee that we can find one you're satisfied with!"

No, after Liao Chunsheng finished speaking, everyone held up their cups and patted their chests to make a promise.

This meal lasted from noon to evening, and Liao Chunsheng didn't know how he got back to the hotel room.

Fortunately, Shen Qiushuang followed him to Hengdian, and their hotel was only across the road from the restaurant.After receiving the call, she rushed to the restaurant and helped Liao Chunsheng back, who was staggering.

"Give me your ID card. I just went down to buy porridge, and the hotel asked me to register your ID card."

It was almost ten o'clock in the evening when Liao Chunsheng was woken up by his girlfriend.Shen Qiushuang knew that he hadn't eaten anything at night. In order not to hurt his stomach, she bought a casserole porridge and let him eat some before going back to sleep.

"Do you still need to register your ID card? Didn't you register it when you opened the room?"

Liao Chunsheng's head was dizzy and he couldn't remember clearly.

"I owned the room at that time. Didn't you go to eat? So what was registered was my ID card. Now I want to register yours. The front desk said that the police have been stricter recently and all residents must be registered."

Shen Qiushuang explained.

"Okay, my ID is in my wallet. Look if my wallet is in the box."

Liao Chunsheng touched his trouser pocket, then pointed to the suitcase on the side.

"No, don't you carry it in your wallet? You even brought your ID card to verify when we were flying."

Shen Qiushuang rummaged through his suitcase but couldn't find it.

"No way? Did you drop it?"

Liao Chunsheng woke up from the wine. He turned over the quilt and didn't find it on the bed.

　Thanks for the reward of Autumn Shenguang! ! (づ￣ 3￣)づ
