Chapter 45: Finding the Leading Actor (Asking for Support)
At the entrance of the North Film Studio!
It's overcrowded, with hundreds of people gathered here, and many people in the industry call them cannon fodder for the 'showbiz', but most people still call them extras.
After all, there is a great chance of being selected by the crew to guard here, and since Chen Beisheng, who went out here, has become a hot first-line movie star in the entertainment industry today, this place has become a place where many people chase their dreams.
"Chen Beisheng can become a first-line movie star from a trick, and so can we. ”
That's what everyone is saying!
But in 10 years, there is only one Chen Beisheng!
But even so, it still can't stop everyone's persistent pursuit of 'dreams', after all, the threshold for entering the industry is low, and it is close to the entertainment industry, although they are all facing problems such as low income, low status, and unstable work. But many people are still willing to try their luck here.
"Dude, new here. ”
Lin Chen found a place to sit down, but a young man next to him came over and said, "Look at you, you're a little raw." ”
"Well, let's take a look. ”
Lin Chen nodded lightly and said, "What about you, how long have you been here?"
"I'm here every day. ”
The young man laughed and said: "It's a pity that I can't wait for a crew for a long time, if I don't chat again, I'm afraid I'll be depressed." ”
Lin Chen let out a soft 'oh': "It's hard to find a job here?"
"It depends. ”
The young man gently lifted his glasses and said: "But you must not trust people too much, look at the middle-aged eldest sister over there, she was deceived, because we extras generally do not sign labor contracts, just verbal agreements, and as a result, a company owes her money and does not give it, and it is useless to go to the court, just an IOU, alas." ”
Through small talk, Lin Chen knew that this young man's name was Zhou Guang, 27 years old this year, he had been an extras for more than three years, and he was sticking to it here with a dream of being an actor.
But Lin Chen took a look at this person's acting skills!
49!
In other words, this Zhou Guang is actually an ordinary person, but Lin Chen believes that it is useless for him to tell Zhou Guang about this.
Many people cling to that dream, and even cling to a chicken soup for the soul, as if a straw grabbed by a person in drowning, and they can only deceive themselves and believe that there is a lack of opportunities.
Obviously, this Zhou Guang belongs to this kind of person, chattering as if he is like Xianglin's sister-in-law, and talking about his idol Chen Beisheng is like being beaten with chicken blood: "Dude, you wait, in a few years, I will definitely be able to succeed." ”
Lin Chen had lost the interest in chatting with Zhou Guang, and he stood up and prepared to take a look around.
"Hey, buddy, don't go, I'll tell you about the rules here. ”
Zhou Guang said loudly, but Lin Chen turned his head and smiled: "Thank you, I'm just going around!"
Ignoring Zhou Guang, Lin Chen could clearly feel the disdain and distance of others for Zhou Guang!
Maybe Zhou Guang said the same thing to everyone!
"Boss, use me, use me, just 30 yuan a day. ”
"I, use me, director, what do you think of me? I only need 20 a day."
……
Ahead, as soon as a man with a briefcase appeared, countless people surrounded him, and Zhou Guang ran away.
Lin Chen felt that this might be the norm here!
"Doll, you're a college student. ”
An old man did not surround the man, but walked over to Lin Chen and asked.
Lin Chen shook his head: "No!"
"That's already going to work? doll, go to work hard, don't think about what dreams of becoming a star, my old man has been here for 10 years, and there has never been a star here except Chen Beisheng. ”
The old man said with a lot of feelings: "Look at Zhou Guang, who talked to you before, he was a sunny child at the beginning, but now what about it?
Yes, Lin Chen knew that this old man had good intentions, so he had to say in his heart: "Thank you, I know." ”
After turning around the extras, Lin Chen found that most of them were ordinary people who had no acting skills at all, and as for some of them, their acting skills were 100, at most they were E-level artists.
This is obviously not satisfactory to Lin Chen, because this movie relies on the male lead.
"If you can't do it here, you'll have to try your luck at film school. ”
Lin Chen said with a sigh.
"Huh?"
At this moment, Lin Chen noticed that there was a man in the distance, who didn't look very handsome, but he was handsome, which was quite in line with Lin Chen's idea of the male protagonist.
So Lin Chen walked over and took the initiative to ask, "Are you also here to wait for the role?"
"Huh? yes!"
Yuan Ping was also surprised and said, "Are you also from the academy?"
"Hehe, I'm not from film school. ”
Lin Chen waved his hand slightly and said, "What's the matter?"
Yuan Ping said: "Yes, I'm a senior student, and I'm here with my classmates today to have a chance, and there are more people from our school these days, so I thought you were too." ”
"Oh. ”
Lin Chen nodded lightly: "What about your classmates?"
"He just happened to be selected by a crew, so I won't continue to wait. ”
Yuan Ping said with some frustration.
"You don't have to wait, come with me. ”
Lin Chen said with a smile: "I just happened to have a play, so I chose you as the leading actor." ”
"What?"
Yuan Ping was taken aback, but he was a little vigilant, although he was a little simple, he also knew that there were often a lot of liars here, not to mention that Lin Chen was so young.
And let yourself be the leading actor?
How is this possible?
Yuan Ping didn't believe that this pie would fall on his head at all!
Looking at Yuan Ping's appearance, Lin Chen asked, "Do you know about the 'Huawei' advertisement yesterday?"
"Huh? ”
"On New Year's Day, have you heard of CCTV's public service announcement "Silent World"?"
"I watched it, and our teacher also talked about this advertisement. ”
……
Looking at Yuan Ping, Lin Chen sighed and said, "These two advertisements are my creativity, now you can go with me." ”
"You, you, you are Lin Chen!!!"
Yuan Ping suddenly exclaimed.
This voice naturally alarmed other people, but the others didn't think much about it, it was really Lin Chen who looked too young to speak, who could believe that he was the director?
"Quietly, now you can come back to the studio with me. ”
Lin Chen said lightly: "This actor, if you can get it, you still have to try your play." ”
"No problem. ”
Yuan Ping said with some excitement: "I also filmed some commercials during my school years, and the teacher said that my acting skills were not bad." ”
