Tongzhou District, Yanjing.

Yenching Film Academy, Yenching Opera Academy, Yenching Conservatory of Music, the three major Yenching art schools, all have branch campuses located here.

As early as many years ago, many colleges and universities in Yanjing built their own branches in the university town of Tongzhou District under the unified planning of the government.

Tongzhou District has gathered many colleges and universities to establish a university town, and because the three major art schools in Yanjing are almost together, and the old Yanjing Film Factory is also in Tongzhou District, many film companies in the entertainment industry have also opened their companies in Tongzhou District, mainly to make it more convenient to select actors.

Although there is no film shooting base here, it does not prevent many young people with star dreams from coming to Tongzhou District to try their luck and hope to be favored by a film crew.

With the development of film and television in recent years, more and more extras have poured into Tongzhou.

The young people who are tormenting in the Dongyang Film Base in the south are called Nanpiao, and the people who stay in Tongzhou and hope to one day realize their desire to become famous are called Beipiao.

Most of the northern drifters in Tongzhou District are generally concentrated in a street called the Avenue of Stars.

At this time, near noon, there were fewer people on the Avenue of Stars, and they all went to find a place to have lunch, but there were still many people on the Avenue of Stars looking at the categories of extras that various film companies or crews had posted, hoping to find a special opportunity from it.

In a small restaurant in an alley on the Avenue of Stars, many people ordered food and prepared to eat.

"Brother Xiong, didn't you say that you know Zhao Sheng from Oriental DreamWorks, why don't you let him take care of you, if you have him, it won't be too easy to take over the show!"

In the corner of the small restaurant, three or four people were eating and drinking around the table, and one of them, a rather young man, said to a majestic and majestic man with a questioning face.

"No matter what you do, people still have to rely on themselves, although I know Zhao Sheng, but people don't have any obligation to do this, understand? People help, that's love, it's reasonable not to help!" Dahan picked up his wine glass, took a sip of liquor, and said with a rough breath.

The strong physique made the whole man exude the ferocity of a beast, especially the two arms of the big man, which were high and bulging, and the muscles were strong.

The big man had already taken off his coat at this time, and the muscles of his arms could be clearly seen, and the T-shirt he was wearing was held up high, and it was estimated that even if he was a so-called bodybuilding champion, his muscles might not be able to catch up with this big man.

But what is a little surprising is that the voice of this big man is the opposite of his majestic and majestic physique, with a hint of femininity, unlike the rough and rough pronunciation of ordinary big men, listening to it, there is a different feeling.

And the appearance of this big man is not like his physique, full of wild and fierce, fair complexion, narrow eyes, slightly squinted, and suddenly revealing a trace of essence, letting people know that the other party is not easy to match.

Physique, voice, and physiognomy, three very different characteristics, are gathered in one person, making this big man full of an indescribable unique charm.

Hearing Dahan's words, except for the young man who had just spoken, he might be a little unconvinced, and the other two did not have any different colors, obviously very convinced of what this Brother Xiong said.

"!"

"!"

A few people raised their glasses and drank.

Brother Xiong put down the wine glass and spit out a sip of wine, but his mind was still unusually clear, and there was no problem for him to drink this little wine.

It's just that he doesn't know when his days will end.

No matter how pretentious he is, he will never get ahead, and no matter how confident he is in himself, the cruel reality makes him unable to face the current situation.

"Hey, I've been in Yanjing for several years, but I haven't been able to get ahead, and I'm still an extra, at best, I can just mix one or two lines!" Among the several people who drank, one of them put down his wine glass, sighed and said slowly, his tone was full of loneliness and helplessness, and he was confused.

This person's words, perhaps a little louder, quickly resonated with the other dinner groups in the restaurant.

Everyone here is working hard in this group performance, except for those who are older and only want to make a living from this, in the hearts of other young people, who does not have the dream of becoming famous overnight and becoming a big star?

Otherwise, who came here, suffered for several years, suffered and suffered, so that they could come out one day?

"If I can't find any more opportunities here, I'm going to go to Dongyang in the south to have a look, I heard that there are more opportunities there. ”

"Let's go together, I have a friend who has been in Dongyang for a few years, and by chance, he took a small role, and now he can often receive some unimportant scenes. ”

"Go together, go together, I've stayed here enough, it's a group performance every day, and there has been no change in the past few years. ”.

In a short period of time, the small restaurant was full of all kinds of complaints about the current state of group performance.

Brother Xiong took a sip of wine, listening to these words, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, but soon he also revealed the same confusion as others!

Confused, confused, and lost, these are the common characteristics of all group performances with dreams.

Thinking of this, his mind couldn't help but think of a movie, "Passerby A" by Oriental DreamWorks.

Especially some of the lines in it, which exhausted the bitterness of the group performers, made him remember it vividly.

"I never dream, I just try to recognize reality. ”

"My dream is to be able to endure hardships next year stronger than this year. ”.

At this moment, the person sitting opposite Brother Xiong suddenly asked him in a low voice: "Brother Xiong, it wasn't the crew that invited you to pick up a scene with a very important role last time, why didn't you go later?"

Among the few people present, Brother Xiong is a good mix.

Although he has not taken on any big plays, he has long been out of the category of group performances, and he often takes on some roles that are not in the stream, but at least every role is a play with lines.

In everyone's hearts, they all think that Brother Xiong will definitely become an actor in the future, maybe not a star, but he can definitely act.

"Damn, don't mention it, the crew is a pit!" Brother Xiong was angry when he heard someone mention this, but when he saw everyone's inquiring eyes, he said helplessly: "The director of the crew is a girl!"

When the few people present heard this, they didn't react for a while, but they immediately understood the meaning of Brother Xiong's words.

"Damn, Brother Xiong, could it be that the female director wants to uncover the rules for you?"

"It's possible, with Brother Xiong's body, the attraction to women must be leveraged, do you need to talk about it?"

"This is a good thing, Brother Xiong, don't tell me, you rejected the female director? You are not a woman, you are afraid of Mao's unspoken rules!" ......

All of a sudden, everyone was talking, and there was no shortage of jokes about Brother Xiong.

Of course, more incomprehension.

Brother Xiong toasted a glass of liquor with everyone, patted the table, and his eyes were still full of sobriety: "You boys, my Brother Xiong has walked more roads than you have eaten!"

"I tell you, you must have a bottom line to be a man, no matter how big the temptation is, you can't trample on your bottom line, otherwise there will be a second time, this time for me, maybe an opportunity to make a name for yourself, but such an opportunity, I am not rare, if I really give in for the opportunity this time, then one day I will regret it. ”

It's quite a feminine voice, but it's full of determination to move forward.

Regarding Brother Xiong's words, several people present were silent after listening to them, and they were a little disapproving.

The unspoken rules are already well-known in the entertainment industry, and even some female artists will do whatever it takes to get to the top, in order to be able to be unspoken rules.

Your Brother Xiong is an unpopular actor, at best, it is better than a group performance, what is the bottom line now, on this point, several people here do not agree with it, but because of Brother Xiong's prestige in the past, several people did not refute it.

Brother Xiong glanced at the few people present, their expressions were in their eyes, and he sighed in his heart, he knew that a few people were a little dissatisfied with his words, but he didn't say anything more.

Everyone walks the way, is their own choice, then they have to be responsible for their own choice, maybe they don't understand now, but I believe that one day in the future will understand, I just hope that then they pay a small price.

At this moment, Brother Xiong's mobile phone suddenly rang.

He picked up his phone and looked at it, his expression was stunned, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal, answered the phone and said, "Haha, why did you remember to call me today?"

"Why? Can't I call! It's just that I hope you don't blame me for calling too late!" Zhao Sheng's hearty laughter came from the phone, and then Zhao Sheng's voice changed, even if he had tried his best to lower his voice and control his emotions, he still showed a little excitement and said: "Your kid's opportunity has come, give me three o'clock in the afternoon to come to Chaoyang, Hengtong Building on Jiuxian Road, call me when you arrive." ”

Hearing the word opportunity, Brother Xiong's heart couldn't help but tremble, but his self-control ability was very strong, and he still smiled and asked, "What, please ask me to go over for a drink!"

"I said that you kid is still so out of tune at this time! Don't blame me for not reminding you, I recommend you to a director, the male number one!" Zhao Sheng also relaxed at this time, without the previous excitement.

Male number one.

Suddenly hearing this word, the phone in Brother Xiong's hand almost fell off with excitement, he took a deep breath, held back the excitement in his heart, and said: "Don't fool me, otherwise I will live with you for ten days and half a month!"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but be curious, and asked again: "Which director did you recommend me to?"

"Of course, we are the director of Oriental DreamWorks. Zhao Sheng said.

It's just that Brother Xiong didn't hear Zhao Sheng say this with a hint of mystery.

"Director Chai, I read the news a while ago that you were filming his scene. Brother Xiong asked cautiously.

"No!" Zhao Sheng denied it, deliberately pinching it, hanging the other party's appetite.

"Mo Xiaohua, you have cooperated with him many times!" Brother Xiong continued to speculate.

"It's not!" Zhao Sheng continued to shake his head, but he didn't have the heart to guess like this with Brother Xiong anymore, and couldn't help but say, "Don't you know which director of our Oriental DreamWorks is the best?"

Hearing this, Brother Xiong's eyes widened, his face was full of incredulity, and his tone couldn't help but tremble a little, and asked, "Yang." Ming?"

"No, you're really not lying to me?"

It turned out to be Yang Ming, it turned out to be Yang Ming, at this moment, the excitement in Brother Xiong's heart was indescribable, his brain was buzzing, if it weren't for his strong psychological quality, maybe his whole person would have jumped up excitedly at this moment.

"You can rest assured, the male number one of Director Yang's new film has been undecided, I have a role in this, after reading the script, I feel that the image of the male number one is quite consistent with you, so I recommended you to Director Yang, Director Yang has promised you to come to audition, the time is three o'clock in the afternoon, as long as the audition passes, the male number one is you!" Zhao Sheng said in one breath.

can't help but be Yang Ming's play, and it's also the male lead.

Suddenly, Brother Xiong, who had been a soldier, had experienced a lot of things, and gradually calmed down.

He said slowly: "Zhao Sheng, although I have always been confident in my own strength, have you read the script and think I meet Director Yang's requirements?"

Although he suddenly heard the news from Zhao Sheng just now, he was so excited that he felt that pie fell from the sky, but he clearly realized in his heart that if he didn't eat the cake in his mouth, no matter how well the cake was drawn, it would be useless for him.

"Don't worry, in this regard, I will never say anything, it is precisely because you meet Director Yang's requirements that I will recommend you to him. Zhao Sheng said seriously word by word.

"Okay, I'll be on time at three o'clock in the afternoon, what clothes should I wear to go over?" After Zhao Sheng's affirmation, Brother Xiong's heart was relieved, maybe this opportunity is not 100%, but at least there is a possibility of success, which is enough.

In his military career, he knew that in this world, there is never a 100% winning battle; on the contrary, as long as there is a slight opportunity, then even if there is a war with a huge disparity between the strong and the weak, the weaker side can turn the tide.

That's the opportunity he struck.

"Whatever, as long as it's clean and tidy!" Zhao Sheng said casually.

The two talked on the phone for a while, and Zhao Sheng also explained some precautions to Brother Xiong, for fear that his big personality would be forgotten when the time came, until the end, he still confessed and said: "Xiong Zhuang, you have to seize this opportunity, as long as you seize it, your life will change, and your dreams will come true!"

He and Xiong Zhuang have known each other for many years, and they are naturally very clear about Xiong Zhuang's ambitions.

When Xiong Zhuang hung up the phone, the other people at the dinner table looked at him with wide eyes.

"Brother Xiong, who was it just now? It seems that you were introduced to an audition opportunity?"

"I just heard you say Mo Xiaohua, is it that Mo Xiaohua from Oriental DreamWorks?"

"And Director Yang, which Director Yang? Don't tell it's Yang Ming!".

Several people hoped to get confirmation from Xiong Zhuang's mouth, but Xiong Zhuang's mood had returned to normal, he knew that this kind of uncertain thing could not be taken out on such an occasion, otherwise it would be spread and known by media reporters, and he didn't know what was going on.

The more successful you are, the more calm and cautious you must be!

This is a sentence that Xiong Zhuang often said to them when he was in the army.

But no matter what, he still couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and he said to a few people present: I'll talk to you in detail after I go to the audition in the afternoon.

Then, he stood up and said loudly to everyone in the small restaurant: "I bought all the orders for everyone here today, buddy, and I have a treat for you today! Haha!"
