Chapter 716: Huairou Courtyard

A few minutes after the pot-bellied policeman led the team away, the thugs in military coats and clubs appeared again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

One of the men who looked like a small leader walked up to Cai Yinong and said with a hippie smile: "Sister Cai, we are back again! What did the police uncle say? Do you want to invite us to tea?"

The other thugs laughed unscrupulously, they could run amok in this area for so long, it must have something to do with the police department, otherwise where would they have such boldness.

After laughing, the little leader said earnestly: "I said Sister Cai, as the saying goes, a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake." If you continue to make trouble, you will be the ones who will suffer! Why are you suffering?"

Cai Yinong just couldn't help sneering: "Do you really think that no one can cure you?"

The little leader laughed: "There are more people who can cure us, but not you, Sister Cai!"

A gangster couldn't help but show off: "Just tell you like this, come to us to film, don't say it's you, even Zhang Ran and Zhang Yimou come to film, he has to follow our rules!"

Cai Yinong suddenly raised his hand and pointed at it, and chuckled: "I really can't cure you, but the person who can cure you is here!"

The little leader looked in the direction of Cai Yinong's finger, and saw seven or eight police cars flashing their police lights, shouting from far to near. In an instant, they drove over and quickly surrounded them.

Heavily armed policemen quickly jumped out of the car and surrounded the staring thugs, who were shouted over loudspeakers to lay down their weapons and crouch on the ground with their heads in their hands.

Where had a few thugs seen such a scene, they were so frightened that they almost peed their pants, quickly threw away the stick in their hands, squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, and looked around in horror, completely unaware of what was happening!

At this moment, the little boss saw a middle-aged man in a police uniform get out of the car and walk quickly towards the filming site. As soon as he saw this man, the little leader trembled all over, isn't this Director Wu of the district bureau? Why is he here? Looking at Director Wu's face again, it is really gloomy and terrifying, and it makes people shudder.

Next, the little boss saw Director Wu walking to a corner of the set, walking in front of a middle-aged man in his fifties, bowing his head and talking, as if he was making a review; he didn't know the middle-aged man, but he recognized the young man standing next to the middle-aged man, there was no one in the film industry who didn't know him, it was Zhang Ran.

The little leader's feet were weak, and he sat directly on the ground, and his heart was finished, this time it was really over!

Zhang Ran chatted with the leader for two minutes, walked up to the little leader, and asked lightly: "You are the owner of the courtyard, right?"

The little leader was so nervous that his teeth chattered: "Yes, it's the courtyard master, I'll take care of a courtyard!"

Zhang Ran nodded slightly, it's good to be the master of the hospital. The leaders usually see the glamorous side of the film and television industry, and they are all shouting how much Chinese films have achieved, but not many people care about the undercurrent lurking under the beautiful data, and this time they just took the leaders to see what kind of life the extras lived.

"Minister Cai, you must have seen Mr. Xia Yan's body workers, I don't know if you are interested in meeting the body workers in the new era and going to see the legendary Huairou courtyard?" Zhang Ran saw that Cai Fuchao and the leaders present were at a loss, obviously not knowing what Huairou courtyard was, and said with a smile, "I heard people I know that there are often group heads near Huairou who rent a few farmhouses, and then use high salaries in newspapers and the Internet as a temptation to put many people who are not deeply involved in the world. Young people who have a vision of the entertainment industry are deceived and kept in the yard, which is called Huairou Courtyard. When these extras have filming, they let them go to filming, and when they are not filming, they let them go out to work. These extras worked hard to act and work, and at the end of the month, they were deducted from their rent and living expenses by the group heads, and the money they could get was pitiful, and even then the money would be deducted or delayed for various reasons!"

Hearing this, several leaders of Huairou were a little painful, Zhang Ran, we didn't offend you, why did you put us on the fire to roast!

Cai Fuchao nodded slowly: "Look at it, I want to see how lawless these people are!"

Under the leadership of the small leader, Zhang Ran and the others came to a small farm yard not far from the Feiteng base, the yard was freshly painted with plaster, the iron gate was closed, and there was no difference from the ordinary farm yard from the outside. After entering the courtyard, Zhang Ran found that the entire courtyard consisted of 4 bungalows, the yard was full of sewage, and the corner of the patio was littered with Chinese cabbage stored for the winter, and he knew that these cabbages were the only vegetables that the extras could eat.

There was a thirty-year-old extras basking in the sun in the courtyard, and when he saw Zhang Ran in the crowd, he stood up and said excitedly: "Zhang Ran, are you Director Zhang Ran?"

Zhang Ran smiled at him and nodded: "Yes, what's your name?"

"I, my name is Wang Xiaohu!" Wang Xiaohu's voice trembled slightly because of excitement, "Director, director, are you here to choose an actor?" His eyes were staring at Zhang Ran tightly, shining with hope, did my opportunity come?

However, Zhang Ran's answer disappointed him: "No, I heard that someone used filming to commit fraud, so I came over to take a look." Zhang Ran glanced up at the room behind Wang Xiaohu and said, "Which house do you live in?"

"This way, this way! Director Zhang, please this way!" Wang Xiaohu hurriedly led the way in front.

Zhang Ran and the others walked into the room, and there were 4 bunk beds in the room of more than ten square meters. In addition to the bed, there was only a narrow aisle in the whole room. Daily necessities and a change of clothes, shoes and socks are piled up in a disorderly manner, taking up more than half of the already small activity space.

On the wall were two pieces of paper full of rules and regulations, on which were written all kinds of prohibitions, each of which was followed by the amount of fines, ranging from 50 to 500. In addition to the rules and regulations, there are also several photos of Wang Baoqiang and Zhang Ran posted on the wall.

It is not surprising that there are photos of Wang Baoqiang in the room of the extras, Wang Baoqiang is the totem in the hearts of the extras, it can be said that every Beipiao has a dream of Baoqiang in his heart, but Zhang Ran didn't expect to have a photo of himself, and couldn't help asking: "Why is there a photo of me?"

Wang Xiaohu said: "Listen to the group head, there used to be a girl from Beipiao who was reduced to the point of going to sit on the stage, and then she met you, you think she is a seedling of acting, so you recommended her to be an actor, the group head told us that your new play will start soon, and we will be arranged to join the group at that time, they said that you have a very accurate eye for actors, if you find that we have potential, they will let us be actors!"

Zhang Ran shook his head helplessly, he didn't expect that he would become a guise for these people to swindle and deceive, movies were originally a dream-making industry, but these people actually made money by trampling on other people's dreams, damn it!

When Zhang Ran and the others came out of the room, there were more than a dozen young men and women standing in the courtyard, all in their twenties, none of them spoke, they just looked at Zhang Ran with a pleading and hopeful gaze, hoping to hear from Zhang Ran's mouth, yes, you can be an actor!

Zhang Ran naturally wouldn't say such things, he was not an immortal, how could he know who could be an actor at a glance, he just told these extras that the owner of this courtyard had been arrested, and everyone was safe now.

The extras present applauded their hands when they heard that the group leader was caught, and they were miserable by this group of people, and they began to complain.

A boy who looked like a college student said: "After graduating from college, I went to Peking to look for a job, and I saw the recruitment information in the newspaper, saying that the crew directly recruits actors, and the actors in the group are 3,800 to 8,000 yuan a month, with unlimited conditions, accommodation and board, and all fees are free." Speaking of this, he smiled bitterly: "But I didn't expect it to be like this, I was locked up here for filming, laying cables on the construction site, helping the group fight, doing all the work, and in the end I couldn't get the money." ā€

"Yes, every time I go to ask for a salary, the group leader says to wait, but it drags on and doesn't pay, I have never seen a salary since I came here for 4 months, they are a bunch of liars. ā€

"I can't eat enough here, and when there is no filming, we are often dragged to the construction site to work, and a few days ago we were pulled to lay cables for the railway, doing the same work, the same time, our wages are only half of the migrant workers, and we can't get the money. ā€

"The workmanship is nothing, and they often pick people out to fight. Last month, the management institute called everyone and said that someone was making trouble at a construction site in Miyun, and asked us to help settle it, and then took out forty or fifty pickaxes from the house and distributed them to everyone one by one. At that time, we went to a total of more than 50 people, took a van, and when we arrived at the location, we surrounded eight or nine people on the other side and beat each other. ā€

The leaders present were shocked to hear it, this is really an unstable factor!

Some leaders couldn't help but ask, "Why don't you leave?"

A girl said excitedly: "Let's go, how can we go? We don't have a penny on us, and their ID cards have been deducted!" After saying that, she realized that the person she was talking to was the leader, and quickly lowered her head.

Zhang Ran sighed slightly in his heart, some people really can't go, and some people are unwilling, fantasizing that one day, when they were extras, they were taken by a certain director, and then they became popular, just like Wang Baoqiang!

A boy with a Shanxi accent said: "I insist on being here because I want to get my hard-earned money back, this money is almost the income of my parents in my hometown in Shanxi for more than half a year, if I want the money back, I will buy a schoolbag for my sister, and then buy a roast duck for my father in the city." Perhaps thinking about the situation when he got his wages back, the boy smiled slightly.

The leaders present were silent, they were all parents, and their noses were a little sour when they heard this, what a good child, to this point, all I want to do is buy a schoolbag for my sister and a roast duck for my father!

Coming out of the Huairou courtyard, Cai Fuchao's expression was very solemn, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he couldn't believe that the extras lived such a dark life, comparable to the long-term workers of the old society. He looked at several district leaders and said solemnly: "You have to take care of this matter, you must take care of it, and you must come up with a solution as soon as possible!"

Wang Wentao is very embarrassed, it's not that they don't want to solve the problem of extras, but there is really no good solution: "The problem of extras has been rectified and cracked down on in the district, and we formulated the "Opinions on Strengthening the Management of the Extras Market" in 06 It is intended that the association will be responsible for docking with the film and television base and various film and television crews, and recommend the extras of this association to play in the play; strengthen the supervision of the extras' agents, but it is particularly difficult to implement, and the extras are too mobile; and the extras used by the crew are all in direct contact with the group heads, and it is difficult for us to effectively manage them through the association at all!"

Zhang Ran interjected: "This kind of thing is not only in Huairou, but also in other film and television bases around Beiping. I really want to solve this matter from the source, I think it must be set up by the city government, and the extras will sing, otherwise there will be no drama!"

Cai Fuchao stared at Zhang Ran with a serious expression and said, "Oh, tell me what you think!"
