The leisurely life of rebirth

Chapter 301 Ideals are always tempting young friends
Song Zifeng, drifting horizontally.

I have been coming to Hengdian for 7 years, and I am still a group performer.

After graduating from high school, I worked in a factory for two years, looking at endless machines and a bleak life.

I packed my luggage directly and came to Hengdian.

Since it's all about dawdling, why not choose a job that still has a glimmer of hope.

Even if this hope is slim.

these past seven years.

Song Zifeng's transformation from full of confidence to calmness was simply due to the fact that the edges of his life were smoothed away by day-to-day life.

25 years old.

In Hengdian, it’s neither big nor small.

I sent away batch after batch of people, and very few of them persisted. Most of them just left out of curiosity for a few months.

Song Zifeng also wanted to leave, but where could he go?

I have no diploma and no appearance.

No one wants to go to sea.

He is just a passerby, still dreaming of reaching the sky in one step.

The money I earn every month is about the same as in a factory. This is the result of working for so many years. At least I have a small amount of freedom, and I can pretend to be a senior in Hengdian.

His acting skills were developed from scratch. He signed up for countless training classes and read a lot of the books he disliked reading the most. Although he was not as good as someone who came from a major, he was still among the best in Hengdian.

However, his hope was almost gone, and he could no longer hold on.

I went home a few years ago and it felt a bit interesting.

In the past few years, I have stopped going home. People my own age are getting married and having children, and they are following the traditional path.

He was an anomaly when he returned home. Apart from being a source of conversation for the villagers and bringing shame to his parents, he really had no value.

If you don't go home, you can still be an ostrich and numb your heart.

However, I was really unwilling to do so. I returned to the village to work as a farmer, and then went out to work, leading a life of less gathering and more separation.

I don’t have high requirements for myself, just live an ordinary life.

Have a home in the city, give your children a slightly better life, and don’t be like yourself.

Living so hard.

Song Zifeng looked at himself in the mirror. It was another day at work. Now it is no longer difficult to be an extra. He is very comfortable. As for small roles, he has acted a few times, but he has not seen it in the later stage. It is probably cut out. .

I took a quick look at my rental house. The only good thing about it was that although it was a bit small, I could live by myself.

When I was about to go out, I received a text message on my phone:
"Hello, Dream Chaser Entertainment is currently recruiting actors. After preliminary screening, you meet the basic requirements. If you are interested, please go to the Screen Actors Guild for an interview at 2:00 pm."

When Song Zifeng saw the text message on his cell phone, his first reaction was that it was a scam call.

It's so normal in Hengdian. If you haven't been deceived by others, it doesn't count as coming to Hengdian. The turnover of people is very high, and there are all kinds of people, and it's very complicated.

The second reaction was that it was funny. If a few years ago, I had gone there without saying a word, even if I was a liar, I would have thought of taking advantage of it and practicing my acting skills.

Now, my mind has faded.

Laugh it off.

I'm a bastard myself, I'm lying flat on my back, and yet I still want to seduce me.

Damn!

Song Zifeng's job is in the morning, playing the role of a pedestrian in a costume drama. He walks back and forth. If he is lucky, he can have a fleeting image. If he is not lucky, he can't even see his back.

The performance was completed step by step.

Lying on the set, preparing to have a packed lunch, and bragging with a group of new braggarts, I can rest in the afternoon.

However, I still feel a little unwilling in my heart.

Anyway, I have nothing to do in the afternoon, why don’t I give it a try?

Try it and you won't die.

What if, is it true?
What if.

While talking, I was brainwashing myself. Do I still have the courage to do it?Who gave it?
Is it for lying down?
I quickly finished my lunch, returned to the rental house, took a simple shower, changed my clothes, took my resume, looked in the mirror, and straightened my appearance.

stride out.

Face, what kind of face do you want now that you have reached this point?

Mud, if I meet a liar today, I will never trust this fucked up society again.

Confidence.

Confidence.

You must give me strength a few more times!
Hengdian is not big or small.

It would take at least half an hour to walk to the Screen Actors Guild. Fortunately, I am an experienced person and there are still second-hand battery cars.

A few minutes later, we arrived at the door of the Screen Actors Guild.

Is it true?
There were already many people standing at the door.

Song Zifeng glanced around and saw several acquaintances who had been working in Hengdian for many years and were veteran group performers.

Quickly walked forward: "Did you also receive a text message? What's going on?"

"Well, it's quite sudden. I received it in the morning and will be here in the afternoon. I even pushed a job." said an extra.

"What? You're still pushing for a living? You're not afraid of offending the crowd." Song Zifeng raised his thumb and said with admiration.

"We old guys, what are we afraid of? The worst we can do is go home." The extras next to him cheered.

This sentence is indeed true. People like them are really not afraid of the crowd.

After so many years of hard work, the group leaders are all familiar with each other, and basically have their own channels. They are high-quality group performers, the price is cheap, they can still make a living, and they know how to measure. They are much better than those who just came here. .

Seeing this posture, Song Zifeng knew that he was probably not a liar, otherwise he wouldn't be so generous.

Seeing more and more people, Song Zifeng suddenly became nervous.

It was a kind of excitement that suddenly saw hope, and it was also a kind of fear that I had not grasped the opportunity. If I lost this opportunity again, there would really be no hope.

Zhou You and Yang Mi were wandering around Hengdian, Yang Mi was running out of steam, but Zhou You was still very novel.

In my previous life, I wanted to come and see and experience it, but unfortunately, I spent the whole time waiting.

I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to come here now.

"Brother You, if we do this, will our scene be too big?" Yang Mi was still a little uneasy. Zhou You actually wanted to cast actors from Hengdian, and she was actually successfully fooled by him into agreeing.

If word spreads like this, he will become a joke in the circle.

Zhou You doesn’t think so. People can take pictures of passers-by and select a group of people. Why can’t we choose? What’s more important is that Zhou You has invited many people to come over to check, including grassroots and professional teachers.

Wang Baoqiang was the tool man who was brought in to do the work.

Besides, some of the stars in Hong Kong City in the past had majored in majors and were still not able to act.

Educational qualifications are a threshold.

Now you don’t want to just use professionals, you want to tap more talents.

Saving a person from a mud pit gives people a different feeling than giving a college graduate a simple job.

The former may be devoted to you, while the latter may leave you at any time.

What is Zhouyou? He is an investor.

Especially dream investors.

Who else has a dream that is easier to invest in than those in Hengdian?Just give him a role that shows his face.
Maybe a company wants it,
That's pie in the sky.

gust of wind

Starting from the Screen Actors Guild,

spread around.

It's still a breeze now.

No one knows whether it will turn into a hurricane or just become silent.

Two in the afternoon.

Song Zifeng looked at the people next to him, feeling more and more nervous, as if he was acting for the first time.

Excited, nervous, restless, curious.

I cursed myself more than once: Dog meat can’t be served at the banquet, why are you so nervous?

Hold your hands tightly between your legs,
Still shaking uncontrollably.

Wang Baoqiang looked at these extras in the audience and thought of himself back then. If he hadn't met the noble people back then, he would probably be like them.

Injury to its kind.

When Zhou You invited him to come to Hengdian to be a judge, he agreed immediately. In addition to wanting to have a good relationship with Zhou You, he also wanted to see the current group performances so that he would not forget his original intention and be alert to his heart at all times. ah.

"Ahem, please be quiet. I am Wang Baoqiang. Some of you have heard of me, some of you have not heard of me, so let me introduce myself first." Wang Baoqiang stood on the stage and talked eloquently.

When the cast members below saw Wang Baoqiang standing on the stage, they no longer had any doubts.

There may be some outsiders who don’t know Wang Baoqiang, but almost everyone in Hengdian doesn’t know him.

The counterattack idol of extra performers, and the idol of many extra performers is Wang Baoqiang.

"We know each other. Anyone who doesn't know each other is not an extra." The extras below were very excited and shouted in harmony with the atmosphere.

Wang Baoqiang pressed his hand down, and when it was quiet down below, he continued: "I am very lucky to be invited to Hengdian by Yang Mi and Mr. Yang today."

"I believe everyone has received the text message. Since you can come, congratulations to everyone. You have got tickets from the entertainment company. This is much luckier than me."

"Everyone has been carefully selected. They are all people who have a certain pursuit of acting. They have worked as group actors in Hengdian for at least five years. This is also a group text message we sent after collecting data from the Actors Guild."

After hearing this, Song Zifeng realized that no wonder they were all old guys. This was the original reason.

Thinking about it, those who are playing tricks, those who are not determined, and those who want to become famous all at once, probably won’t be able to persist.

"I was also surprised that so many people came. Seeing so many people persevere reminded me of when I was performing as a group. Haha, I talked too much, there are too many people, and the time is limited. Let's start the interview. Mainly looking at resumes and live performances.”

"Someone will be responsible for calling names later. Please cooperate actively and maintain order in the venue. Finally, I wish everyone good luck." After Wang Baoqiang finished speaking, he also went backstage. He was also one of the interviewers and had a heavy task.

The interview was divided into three rooms.

Zhou You was a little curious and was responsible for patrolling the entire venue. Looking at these extras whose eyes were still a little numb before, now their eyes were almost shining.

It really feels like a sense of accomplishment.

One small step for yourself, one giant leap for others.

Bring some fresh blood to the entertainment industry that has become entrenched in this class.

Yesterday, more than 200 people sent out the message, and about 100 people came to the scene. They are all men. Women are not included for the time being. I plan to see the effect first.

Those who didn’t come were delayed for some unknown reason.

Destiny begins to fork here!

There are reasons why the Screen Actors Guild is so cooperative. First, it gives too much, and second, it’s such a good gimmick.

This is the first time since its establishment that actors have to be selected directly and signed with a company.

The key is that the person who came to talk was Yang Mi, and she said that after seeing the effect for the first time, she might come again in the future.

What else can I say? Cooperate vigorously.

In the future, the status may become higher and higher and more influential.

"Li Shiyi goes to the first meeting room"

"Qu Jiuru goes to the second conference room"

"Sui Youlu goes to the third conference room"

"Shen Jiancheng and the other three are preparing."

The whole place fell silent. If you listen carefully, you can still hear heavy breathing and a rapid heartbeat.

I couldn't even ask for these opportunities before, but now I have them in front of me. According to Wang Baoqiang's wishes, he also focuses on testing his acting skills, which really speaks for his strength.

It doesn’t work, there’s no point in blaming others.

Song Zifeng relaxed a little when he heard that the first group did not call his name. As long as he was not the first one, it would be fine. He was too nervous and now he was afraid that he would not be able to speak, let alone perform.

Breathe deeply and continuously.

call,
Suck.

Finally calmed down a bit.

The group performers at the venue no longer wanted to chat with each other. Everyone was a competitor. At this time, they were all taking the time to adjust themselves.

Zhou You sat in the conference room and looked at the resumes of these extras.

Li Shiyi, male, born in 1989, height 175cm, weight 130cm,

Educational background, high school graduate

My work experience is all with big production crews. If I didn’t look at the roles, I would have thought they were big stars.

Specialties: Suitable for bad guy roles.

Zhou You raised his head and took a look. Not to mention, he had a bit of a bad guy temperament. This specialty attracted Zhou You.

I'm not afraid that I can't act, I'm just afraid that I don't have any special skills.

After working as a group performer for so long, those without any special skills have long been eliminated.

After Wang Baoqiang read it, he smiled, showing two rows of big teeth, and was about to speak.

When Zhou You saw it, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Put your teeth away. You are the interviewer now. You need to be serious, you know."

Li Shiyi was watching Wang Baoqiang attentively. Who knew that the man next to him would criticize him directly? What was going on? However, he did not dare to speak or move where he stood.

When Wang Baoqiang heard Zhou You's criticism, he also became serious: "I read your resume, it's very good. You said your specialty is playing bad guys, but now you're playing a gangster who molests little girls on the street."

When Li Shiyi heard Wang Baoqiang's words, he was very happy at first. When he was about to act, he found that he couldn't act directly and was given too few hints.

The historical background is not mentioned, ancient times and modern times are different.

The age of the gangster is not mentioned, whether he is a young gangster or a big gangster.

The time is not mentioned, and day and night are different.

After standing there and thinking for a long time, I decided to play a routine: "Hello interviewers, I will play the scene of a young man from ancient times, probably in his 20s, molesting a farmer's daughter in a small town in the evening."

I find it very interesting to travel around. This is setting a scene for myself. Yes, I have some brains.

Nodding, "I'll give you a few minutes to prepare."

Li Shiyi adjusted himself slightly and relaxed his body, with one shoulder higher and one lower. He walked staggeringly, with a lustful expression on his face and his eyes looking ahead.

As if seeing the beauty, she walked a few steps quickly, stretched out her arms, and said happily: "It's so late, why are you coming out alone? It's so unsafe. I'll take you home."

"What, no need, this is no good." He said while his hands were moving, as if he was pulling someone.

As for her acting skills, she can't compare to Xiao Xianrou.
