Anyone who has done Beipiao in Beiping knows that if you want to be an extra, you must not go to Huairou, as long as you hear that the company is recruiting people to be actors in Huairou, most of them are liars. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoEveryone knows that in the surrounding area of Huairou Film and Television Base, a gray industrial chain has been formed in which group heads, theater owners, and extras intermediaries collude to jointly manipulate the extras market.

These group leaders or theater owners rented farmhouse courtyards around the film and television bases, and then began to recruit extras on the Internet and newspapers under various names. Many young people who don't know the depth will be interviewed by the agency after seeing the recruitment advertisement. The other party asks for the payment of referral fees, insurance premiums and other expenses, and in short, collects money under various pretexts.

After paying the money, these young people will be dragged to a rented courtyard around Huairou, which is often referred to as the Huairou Courtyard, and once they enter the Huairou Courtyard, the owner will try to search all the money on them, take away their ID cards, and then tell them to wait for the show, but basically can't wait for any play. Most of the time, men will be sent to work on construction sites, and girls will be sent to nightclubs to accompany the drink, becoming a tool for these people to make money.

There are almost five or six managers in each Huairou courtyard, and once the group performance is disobedient and disobeys the will of the management court, they will use violence to beat the group performance until they are convinced. If the extras want to go, they can, but don't want the money back.

In the past two years, these theater owners have not been satisfied with squeezing value from extras, and have started a monopoly, renting props for the crew, and even distributing box lunches. They have people at the entrance of the film and television base and activities in the film and television base every day, and if they find that the crew uses their own extras, they will immediately take measures such as blocking the camera, making noise, abusing and beating the crew with knives to create incidents and interfere with the crew's shooting. And for the sake of the filming schedule and in order to avoid greater shooting costs, the crew will generally agree to their overlord treaty.

In the previous life, Zhang Ranyi was an assistant director in Tsui Hark's "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", and when filming this scene, because there was no use of the group leader, the group leader's subordinates stood at the shooting site in modern clothes, knocking with sticks in their hands, just like the beggar gang meeting in the TV series, forcing the crew to stop work. It costs hundreds of thousands a day to make a movie, and hundreds of thousands of dollars are lost a day when filming is stopped, and the crew has no choice but to use their extras. In the end, the crew was knocked hard, 80 yuan for each extra, plus 30 yuan for a box lunch. In addition, the crew also has to pay 40 yuan for the transportation expenses of each extra, in fact, these extras live in the courtyard around the film and television base, and they don't need to take a car at all.

Most of the crew will choose to compromise after being harassed by these group heads, Zhang Ran didn't expect Cai Yinong to choose to carry it hard, and couldn't help but appreciate this woman a little more, so he said: "Let the injured assistant director have a good rest, you should call the police quickly, or let the police solve it." ”

Cai Yinong was a little anxious: "It's not the first time this kind of thing, the police won't care!"

There was a chill in Zhang Ran's voice: "You don't have to worry about this, do as I say, you continue to spend time with those people, do not compromise or negotiate, count the daily losses, or they will regret what they have done in a few days!"

Cai Yinong knew that Zhang Ran was going to clean up these people, and this was the purpose of her call to Zhang Ran, and said happily: "Okay, Mr. Zhang, we will do what you say!"

Zhang Ran really plans to clean up these people, and what he is most indignant about these people is that they are basically deceived by a group of young people who love film and television or dream of stardom, and everything these people do is likely to ruin other people's lives.

This thing is really a bastard, and those who spoil other people's dreams are bastards!

Since these people have been committed in his own hands, he must take care of them.

In fact, it doesn't take much effort to clean up these people, just call the city or district, but this does not solve the problem fundamentally. The government departments have cracked down on the black group leaders around Huairou, and some people have been sentenced, but the scammers around Huairou have never completely disappeared, and before Zhang Ran was reborn, many people were deceived every day.

is also a film and television base, the same is an extra, Hengdian is much better than Beiping, if you just want to have a good time in Hengdian, be an extra, be a small special, you don't need to worry about these problems at all, everything is according to the rules of the show. Because there is an actors' guild in Hengdian, the extras are managed by the Hengdian Group.

However, the Hengdian model is not connected in the north, and the film and television bases around Beiping are very scattered and belong to different companies, such as the Feiteng base belongs to Xingmei, the China Film base belongs to China Film Group, and the Bayi base belongs to Bayi Factory, so there is no way to centralize management like Hengdian.

Therefore, if we want to solve this problem at the root, we can only take the lead in the government.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Ran turned the car around and drove towards the city government. It didn't take long for him to receive a call from Cai Fuchao. Zhang Ran said in his heart I was just about to come to you, so he connected the phone: "Minister Cai, is there something wrong?"

Cai Fuchao laughed, sounding like he was in a good mood: "Zhang Ran, are you free?" If you are free, let's make an appointment and have something I want to talk to you about!"

Zhang Ran smiled and said: "Minister Cai called, how dare you not be free, I'll come over immediately!"

Half an hour later, Zhang Ran walked into the city hall.

When Cai Fuchao's secretary saw Zhang Ran, he stood up enthusiastically: "Mr. Zhang, you came so quickly! Minister Cai is waiting inside, you can go in by yourself!"

Zhang Ran smiled at the secretary, pushed the door and walked in, and when he saw Cai Fuchao, he said, "Minister Cai, I rushed over immediately after receiving your call." ”

Cai Fuchao didn't expect Zhang Ran to come so quickly, he was a little surprised, and pointed to the chair opposite: "Sit down and talk!"

Zhang Ran sat down on the chair and said with a smile: "I don't know what Minister Cai is looking for me?"

Cai Fuchao said: "After many consultations, the city still decided to make an A-class film festival, committed to promoting the exchange of Chinese and foreign film cultures, not only based on promoting the development of China's film industry, spreading the Chinese spirit, but also focusing on sharing the experience of various countries, widely inviting global film industry elites and outstanding films to Beijing for exchange and display, and truly play the role of a bridge and platform! We plan to hold the first session in early 2010!"

Zhang Ran sighed slightly in his heart, I knew that it would be like this, the leadership is considering international influence, to show the strong influence and appeal of Beiping as a cultural capital, the focus of the Beiping Film Festival is on Beiping, not the movie.

However, Zhang Ran did not feel disappointed, there is no hope, naturally there will be no disappointment!

Zhang Ran said with a smile: "It's okay to be an A-class film festival, after all, the heavyweight companies and talents in China's entertainment industry are in Beiping, and Beiping has the conditions to hold A-class film festivals." ”

Cai Fuchao looked at Zhang Ran and smiled and said: "Now there are a few members of the organizing committee of the film festival, the chairman of the film festival is Mayor Guo, and Director Wang Taihua of the General Administration, the executive vice chairman is me and Director Zhang Piming of the General Administration, and the other one is certain, you are the only vice chairman we currently have." ”

Zhang Ran hurriedly waved his hand: "Minister Cai, I have two movies waiting to be filmed, and there are still many theme parks to be promoted, so I don't have time at all!"

Cai Fuchao said indiscriminately: "You are now the standard-bearer of Chinese films, and you will definitely not be able to do it without you!" He picked up the newspaper in his hand and looked at it and said: "The selection of the person of the year in the American "Time" magazine has been announced, and Obama, who has just been elected president, ranks first; and you defeated French President Sarkozy, US Treasury Secretary Paulson, and Palin, who was in the limelight in the general election, ranking second, with only more than 40,000 votes less than Obama, and his influence is almost catching up with trusting the US president. You won't be able to run away from this!"

Time magazine's Person of the Year selection began in 1927 with the aim of "selecting the people who have had the greatest impact on journalism and people's lives, for better or for worse," and this year's Person of the Year is Barack Obama, the first black president of the United States.

Online "Time" also held a netizen voting event, and just a few hours ago "Time" announced the final results. Among the 25 inductees, Obama topped the list with 529,000 votes, while Zhang Ran came in second with 485,000 votes, citing the huge impact of the Peking Olympics and his success in the business sector.

If it weren't for the U.S. presidential election, and the elected Obama was the first black president of the United States, then Zhang Ran would probably beat other contenders and become Time Man of the Year!

"That's the glory of the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, not my achievements alone!" Zhang Ran smiled, and then said embarrassedly, "The preparation for the film festival is quite tedious work, and I really don't have time to participate." ”

Cai Fuchao gave Zhang Ran a positive answer: "Knowing that you are busy, we will definitely not let you put down your work to do this, you just put up your name and give us some suggestions by the way; in addition, if the film festival wants to attract overseas media and expand its influence, it will definitely not work without Hollywood stars, you have a film company in the United States, and recently acquired Marvel, we hope that you will come forward to invite some Hollywood stars and crews to attend our film festival!"

Wang Jianlin held the launching ceremony of the Oriental Film and Television Industrial Park, and pulled a group of stars from Hollywood, Zhang Ran's influence in Hollywood is more than Wang Jianlin's, it is not difficult to pull a few stars and crews, he patted his chest and said: "This is no problem, I can't guarantee more, but I just packed the ticket for pulling two or three Hollywood stars and crews!"

Cai Fuchao smiled and said, "Just have your words!"

Although Zhang Ran is not very optimistic about the Beiping Film Festival, he still hopes that the film festival can be run well, and suggested: "Since it is going to be an A-class film festival, it involves the issue of film selection, and I think it is best to leave this to professionals, and it is best to let the China Film Archive do this." Due to their perennial film festivals, the team has accumulated a certain amount of film business resources at home and abroad, and at the same time has a relatively clear understanding of the process of film selection, film invitation, copyright acquisition, publicity and so on, so they can save a lot of trouble by letting them do it. ”

Cai Fuchao thought for a while, nodded and said, "This suggestion is good!"

After chatting with Cai Fuchao about the film festival for a while, Zhang Ran said the purpose of the trip: "Actually, I came here today, I want to ask Minister Cai for help, that's the case, last time I told you, we will build the company's headquarters base in Beiping, and our Century Summit is still a rented office, so we plan to build a base, this base is not only for film project incubation, but also with a theme park; we hope to get the support of the city, we want to invite Minister Cai to visit Huairou and investigate the site selection of the Century Peak!"

Cai Fuchao was overjoyed when he heard this, Zhang Ran is here to send himself political achievements, this kind of large-scale theme park investment of tens of billions of yuan, can drive the development of the surrounding economy, this is a great thing! Cai Fuchao is the minister of propaganda, and he is also the deputy mayor in charge of culture, and the last time he talked to Zhang Ran about the film festival, he mentioned the film and television base, in fact, he hoped that Zhang Ran's base could settle in Beiping, and now it seems that his efforts have not been in vain.

"I also happen to be planning to inspect the work of the cultural and creative industries in Huairou. Cai Fuchao flipped through his schedule and said, "In this way, on Thursday morning, we will go together." ”
