China Entertainment Times 1999

Chapter 24 The male god in ancient costume
"Brother, you are back."

In the basement, Wang Baoqiang was busy packing his things, sweating profusely.

"came back."

The crew finished filming today, and Wang Jinhua also found a suitable house and will drive over to pick them up later.

The brothers could finally bid farewell to the dark basement and return to the embrace of the warm sunshine.

This time Lin Xuan didn't pretend to be pretentious, saying nothing about nostalgia.

It's such a crappy place that I no longer want to live there.

Wang Baoqiang has officially joined Black Sea Hongri and became Lin Xuan’s assistant.

In terms of remuneration, Wang Jinhua's salary is pretty good, with a monthly salary of 800, including food and accommodation, and a bonus at the end of the year, which is much more than what he earns working hard as a group performer.

Not to mention that being an extra can hone your acting skills. If you perform well, the director will sign you and complete the transformation from extra to actor.

The translation of this saying is that as long as you insist on 996 every day to exercise your work ability, your boss will promote you to a manager.

It's just lies to deceive people.

Whether it's Lin Xuan or Future Bao Qiang, their popularity is not due to being extras at all, it's all about their faces and temperament.

Lin Xuan is handsome. Even if there is no talent like Chen Hong, a film and television company will sign him in the future. The only difference is the salary.

Wang Baoqiang's popularity is due to his simple rural temperament, which made him stand out from the thousands of auditions for the "Blind Shaft" crew.

1000:1, what kind of competitive intensity is this.

Lin Xuan told Wang Baoqiang about these principles. Although he had not read any books, he agreed with Lin Xuan's theory, so he willingly became his assistant.

However, Lin Xuan went to Zhuozhou for filming in the past two days without him.

The crew of "Da Ming Gong Ci" were all acquaintances. He had just signed a contract with the film and television company, but he brought an assistant over the next day. He didn't know how to spread the big-name gossip.

Wang Baoqiang had no white-collar salary in the past two days. He was so free that he went to the landlord's house and stayed there for three whole days. He was stunned to get the remaining rent for the two of them.

Lin Xuan admired this very much. It would definitely not be possible for him.

"Why do you pack so many things?" Lin Xuan noticed something was wrong. When he came over and took a look, he collapsed:

"Bao Qiang, why did you even bring the washbasin with you? Just buy new ones when the time comes."

Lin Xuan was helpless, this child was too honest.

Asking him to pack his things, he stuffed all the belongings belonging to them into the snakeskin bag, even the smelly rag.

Good guy, Wang Jinhua's car may not even be able to fit four large snakeskin bags.

"These are not broken and can still be used." Wang Baoqiang was a little reluctant to part with his expression.

"Listen to me, if the old ones don't go, the new ones won't come." Lin Xuan knew that he was thrifty, so he decided to try another way to fool him: "We live in a new house, and we can't use old furniture in the new house. It's unlucky."

"Really? Then I don't want it."

Upon hearing this, Wang Baoqiang was startled and quickly poured out the contents of the snakeskin bag.

People in the entertainment industry are all superstitious, and they all know that a small success depends on support, and a big success depends on life.

Lin Xuan helped him pick and choose, and in the end he only brought two newly bought clothes.

Just after eight o'clock, Wang Jinhua drove downstairs.

"Miss Hua."

Lin Xuan took the small bag and took the initiative to sit in the passenger seat.

"Congratulations, the first film is finished."

No flowers, no gifts, just a verbal reward. "Yeah, it feels like time flies by so fast, half a month has passed in the blink of an eye."

Lin Xuan felt a little emotional. When he first traveled through time, he had to add long johns to wear a down jacket, but now he can wear long sleeves.

"Of course. If you become the leading actor, filming on the set will be like practicing martial arts in seclusion. You will be in and out for half a year."

"Haha, I'm quite looking forward to it then."

The new community is not far from here, and soon the car turned into a newly built mid-to-high-end community.

Wang Jinhua led the way and led them to the elevator entrance.

Lin Xuan was quite surprised, thinking that as expected of a capital city, there are already communities with elevators even before the turn of the millennium.

The layout of the community is a building with two staircases and four households. Wang Jinhua rents an [-]th-floor top floor, which is cool in winter and warm in summer, but not as comfortable as the floors below.

But there's nothing you can do about it. People who work in the entertainment industry have to be particular about the floor they live on.

"This house has a total of 158 square meters, four bedrooms, two living rooms and three bathrooms. This is the master bedroom, this is the second bedroom, this is the study, this is the range hood, this is the microwave..."

Wang Jinhua took them to visit the room and introduced how to use some household appliances.

Lin Xuan didn't feel excited about this, it was all cliche stuff.
Wang Baoqiang, however, was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, exclaiming in exclamation from time to time.

The house is not big and the introduction was completed in 10 minutes.

None of the three had dinner, so Wang Jinhua took them to a restaurant downstairs for dinner.

During the dinner, we talked about Lin Xuan's future development plans.

"Lin Xuan, have you made any plans for your future?" Wang Jinhua first asked Lin Xuan's opinion: "Let me ask in more detail. Have you thought about what your strengths and weaknesses are? What will you do in the industry in the future? In what direction?"

Lin Xuan took a sip of tea and said: "Sister Hua, I have thought about it myself. My disadvantage is probably that my cultural level is not high, I am not a graduate of a major, and I don't have many connections. As for my advantages, first of all, I am still very young. NO.15 will turn 19 next month, and secondly, she looks pretty good, so that’s about it.”

"I know, No. 15 will prepare a gift for you next month." Wang Jinhua said, dumbfounded, "And you are too modest. What do you mean by looking okay?"

"Hehe, there is a world outside the sky, there are people outside the world, there are too many handsome guys inside and outside the circle."

"The analysis of the disadvantages is correct, but the advantages are only half correct." Wang Jinhua continued to add:

"I went to visit your crew that day, and the thing that impressed me the most was your ancient costume. That temperament is so good. Bingbing's words are not wrong at all. You look like you stepped out of a painting when you put on ancient costume. .”

She seemed to be talking about television.

"To put it bluntly, if you were wearing modern clothes or casual clothes that day, I would not risk offending Rong Xinda to sign you, and even if I signed, I would not spend such a large amount of money."

Lin Xuan nodded in agreement, as Chen Hong also said.

He actually looks handsome in modern clothes, but he lacks the impact of ancient clothes.

Among the male actors, Bai Gu, Jiao Shu, Zhang Zhiyao, and Qiao Zhengyu are also the types who look better in ancient costumes than in modern costumes.

Wang Jinhua became more and more excited as she talked and said directly: "So you must make good use of your advantages and identify costume dramas as the future development direction."

"Sister Hua, I will listen to you." Lin Xuan agreed immediately.

The next ten years will be the fastest development period for domestic costume dramas, with classic works coming one after another. Even if Wang Jinhua didn't say it, he would not give up this opportunity.

Lin Xuan agreed readily, and Wang Jinhua was very happy: "It's great that we have no differences in this regard. You don't even know... Forget it, get up early tomorrow and follow me to the studio to shoot actor resumes. "

"Ok."

An actor's resume is similar to an ordinary person's resume. The biggest difference is that there are many photos printed on the actor's resume.

Because you don’t know what kind of character the crew wants, so you need to take multiple sets of photos in different styles.

After setting the filming schedule for tomorrow, Wang Jinhua paid the bill and left, and Lin Xuan and Wang Baoqiang returned to the community.
