Chapter 2 Opportunities and Memory

Born out of nowhere, the store is a city, and it is Hengdian Film and Television City.

Founded in 1996, Hengdian Film and Television City is the world's largest film and television shooting base, with more than 40,000 group performers registered in the film and television city alone.

In addition to the locals who come to run the show in their spare time, these people are the "drifters" who come from all over the country to chase their dreams, have a good time, and get a job. ”

Zhou Jin is now one of these drifters, he rented a single room in a homestay on Jiangnan Road, except that there is no independent bathroom, the conditions are actually okay, at least the food is cheap, and the accommodation is cheap.

The house is not big, about ten square meters, and the furnishings are very simple, a bed, a table, a chair, and an air conditioner on the wall, which are provided by the homestay.

There is also a desktop computer with a conscience of the American emperor, a clamshell Nokia mobile phone, a few bedding, and a few clothes, these are all Zhou Jin's belongings in Hengdian.

Zhou Jin took a shower after coming back, didn't eat dinner, took off naked and lay on the bed, feeling the cold air from the air conditioner, and didn't care about the wet hair, and fell asleep in a daze.

His whole body was aching now, and all kinds of memory fragments were scurrying around in his brain, like a mush, and he really had no strength.

I don't know how long I slept, but I heard someone knock on the door, "Zhou Jin, you haven't eaten dinner yet, come to me." ”

"Wait a minute. Zhou Jin closed his eyes and agreed, then rubbed his eyes and struggled to get up and get dressed.

Fortunately, his name is Zhou Jin in his life, but he doesn't need to change his name.

After a long time, Zhou Jin finally opened the door.

"You're going to die, for so long, there are beautiful women hidden in the house?" A woman with a big wavy curl with a mole at the corner of her mouth, holding her chest and counting Zhou Jin, stretched out her head to look inside.

"No, Sister Lu, I fell asleep today when I was tired. Zhou Jin said.

"Also, it's so hot and you go out to run a show, it's just to find guilt, you haven't eaten yet, come to me. Sister Lu greeted.

"Okay. Zhou Jin followed Sister Lu.

Sister Lu's real name is Lu Hong, and unlike Zhou Jin, she is a local.

The family's house was converted into a homestay when the film and television city was established, and it was specially rented to these group performers in Hengdian, and occasionally they would go out to run the show and see the stars or something.

The B&B is not big, a total of five floors, a total of 21 houses on the third floor, the fourth floor and the fifth floor are rented out, the second floor Sister Lu lives by herself, and there are a few tables and chairs on the first floor, selling some coffee, drinks and cakes or something, it is a simple café.

Sister Lu led Zhou Jin to the restaurant on the second floor of her, where a few bottles of beer and a few bowls of hot dishes were placed on the white table, and Sister Lu made them herself. There are also a few bowls of braised vegetables bought outside, duck tongue, pig ears, tripe, etc.

Looks like it tastes good.

"Come on, let's do one first. Sister Lu handed Zhou Jin a bottle of beer, which was also iced, and the two touched it, and then dried it in one go.

Zhou Jin was not polite to Sister Lu, and ate directly with chopsticks, firstly, he was really hungry, and secondly, he was already very familiar with Sister Lu (ren, three sounds).

After eating for a while, Zhou Jin had food in his stomach, and only then did he recover some strength, and the two began to chat.

"Hey, have you heard, there is a big crew coming recently, and there is a popular student. Sister Lu gossiped mysteriously.

"Who?"

"Hu Ge, don't you like his fairy sword very much?"

Zhou Jin lowered his head and thought about who it was, and it was clear in an instant.

He has figured out that it is now 2008, a natural disaster in Sichuan Province in May, the whole country mourns, and in August, the imperial capital Olympics will be ushered in, and the whole country will celebrate.

The slogan "Earthquake is merciless, there is love in the world" hung on the street was replaced with a banner reading "One World, One Dream" before it could be removed.

The streets and alleys are humming "Beijing welcomes you" and "everyone with dreams is amazing".

The mood of the Chinese people fluctuated, but the drama in Hengdian should be filmed.

For these little people, in addition to crying and saying amazing, it is the food in the bowl that is busy.

In 2008, Lao Hu was a popular little student, Xianjian Yi, Flying Immortals and Young Yang Jiajiang are all very popular TV series, which have attracted the love of a large number of teenagers, and they are both men and women.

In the later era, when fresh meat and traffic flew together, he relied on his works to soar to the sky.

Speaking of which, in the entertainment industry in the mainland at this time, actresses have four Dan Shuangbing, but male stars have nothing to do, Deng Chao, Huang Xiaoming and others are not famous, nor are they bad acting skills, but compared with Yanzu and Tingfeng, they just lack a little appeal.

In fact, this is very understandable, have you ever seen fans chasing and shouting "Little deer and deer, I want to give you a monkey", have you ever seen someone shouting "Huang Bo Huang Bo, I want to give you a monkey"?

It's not that Huang Bo is not handsome, but this kind of ugly handsomeness is not the same thing as other people's kind of beautiful handsomeness, not to mention the 360-degree domineering and greasy handsomeness of Huang Sect Master.

In addition, at this time, the mainland kneels and licks Hong Kong and Taiwan, so male stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan are particularly popular in the mainland, no matter what the acting skills are or what the fame is, people are pressing your mainland male stars.

For example, Brother Le's kind is not well-known, and his acting skills are not very good, but when he came to the mainland, he was the male number one.

Zhou Jin and Sister Lu chatted while eating, talking about some gossip, and they were also indignant about these things, but there was no way, you couldn't stand up to people having a market, and investors were rushing to praise them.

But fortunately, at the beginning of 2008, Brother Guanxi became famous in a fight, and since then he has retired from the rivers and lakes, and even with Xie Tingfeng, Gillian, Zhang Baizhi and other Hong Kong stars whose reputations were damaged, Zhang Weijian beat Xiaobailong and died by himself, which brought a turning point to the stars in the mainland.

In the eyes of Zhou Jin and Sister Lu, the biggest beneficiary of this turnaround should be Hu Ge, firstly, his image is good, secondly, his acting skills are not bad, and the scenes he filmed are also very popular, just waiting for a big hit to soar.

"So, Zhou Jin, you must seize the opportunity this time, in case you get a small role in this play, let the directors remember, and you won't have to be so bitter in the future. Sister Lu made the final decision.

Zhou Jin smiled, "I will definitely grasp the opportunity, but where did you get this news, Sister Lu, is it reliable?"

Sister Lu said: "My uncle is in the guild, and I heard that they have already started to contact the actors." ”

Generally speaking, the crew who come to Hengdian to film will choose the main roles in advance, and the remaining characters with one or two lines and few scenes will be found in the Hengdian Actors Guild.

"Well, then I don't think it's going to be fun, and for someone like me who has only been here for less than a year, the guild will definitely not arrange it. Zhou Jin shook his head.

"Not necessarily, what if you get it? Sister Lu persuaded him.

Picking up pigeons is a jargon in the circle, which refers to the fact that those actors who have already selected temporarily release pigeons do not come, and other actors have the opportunity to pick up pigeons.

"Cheng, then I'll go back and prepare. Zhou Jin nodded in agreement, it's not bad to try.

"That's right, when you go back and make a resume, it's best to have a video material, I'll help you hand it over, after all, you are from the acting department, and your image is good, there must be no problem. Sister Lu said.

Zhou Jin shook his head and smiled, what kind of professional background is he?

After coming back and resting for a while, the memories began to slowly merge, and Zhou Jin already knew some information about his predecessor.

For example, how did this guy hook up with all kinds of girls with a B face in high school, and then failed the college entrance examination, and finally repeated his studies for a year before he was admitted to the performance department of Zhejiang Provincial University of Media.

After finishing in college, he still hooked up with his sister with a B face, and finally after graduation, he didn't find a brokerage company to sign him, so he had to come to Hengdian to do a group performance.

Now as soon as Zhou Jin closes his eyes, various AVI images appear in front of him, which is more enjoyable than watching a small video, because this is a first-person perspective......

Not to mention these yellow ones, Zhou Jin brought a bottle of beer, "Thank you Sister Lu for your care these days." Then he drank it all.

The two ate for a while, dried a few bottles of beer, and Zhou Jin helped Sister Lu clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and decided to leave.

Sister Lu said, "Hey, you'll leave after eating?"

Zhou Jin smiled embarrassedly, "I'm really tired today, let's do it another day." ”

Sister Lu kicked him resentfully, "You have no conscience." ”

Zhou Jin leaned against the wall and slipped away, with countless MMPs in his heart.

......

Zhou Jin's room is in a corner on the third floor, not big but quiet. Back in the room, first open the computer and log in to QQ.

At this time, the penguin's QQ is hot. Erdongzi is also in a hurry, and pulls these group performances with QQ under his hands into a group, and when there is an announcement, it is given priority to be introduced in the Q group, which is convenient and fast.

Zhou Jin brushed in the group and found that it was very deserted, nothing more than a few group performers pouring water in it, saying something like Zhou Jin beating people up today, and it was not until Er Dongzi came to the group to make an announcement that the whole group began to be really active.

However, since Zhou Jin decided to rest for a few days, he turned off the computer and went to bed.

Originally, after going to bed, the ritual before going to bed was to swipe the mobile phone, but the 08-year-old Nokia was able to play a snake, which was boring.

So I had to fall asleep.

That night, Zhou Jin felt that he had many dreams.

He thought it would be a VR version of AVI, but it turned out that all the images were related to a woman - his own sister.

He dreamed that his parents had died, and he and his sister were crying miserably when they were buried.

He dreamed that he didn't pass the college entrance examination and wanted to go out to work, and his sister was so angry that she cried and asked him to repeat it.

He dreamed of his sister's smile when he graduated from college and watched the old professor pluck his tassels.

He dreamed that before he came to Hengdian, his sister packed his luggage and told him earnestly.

......

When Zhou Jin woke up the next day, the sun was already in the sky, and when Zhou Jin touched the corners of his eyes, there were tears.

Is this a remnant of the predecessor?

Help me take care of my sister...... Zhou Jin seemed to hear someone whispering in his ear.

He turned on his phone, clicked on the address book, and found the name that was obviously very strange but looked very kind-Zhou Lin, his biological sister in this life.

Zhou Jin sighed.

For such a person, he really doesn't know how to deal with it.
