On the book 'Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop'.
There is a couplet on the left and right, the left book: Huangliang a dream, and the right book: drama is like life.
There is a sign in front of the door, which reads: "Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop, a regular entertainment and performing arts studio, officially registered, undertakes the performing arts business of various types of crews, and is good at group dramas and war dramas...... Contact: Liu Shan, Tel: 173......"
"Jingle Bell ......"
Just when Tang Nian was watching with relish, his phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Xiao Tang, have you arrived? Where are you now? ā
On the phone, the voice of Lao Liu, the head of the group, came, and his tone was a little hurried.
"When you arrive, come up!"
didn't say much, Tang Nian hung up the phone, and went straight to the third floor, this is the place where Lao Liu Qian told him to rush here as soon as possible in the morning after the audition was over yesterday.
"Did you sleep well last night?"
Pushing open the door of the conference room on the third floor, Tang Nian jumped, and there were nine people sitting inside, in addition to Lao Liu, there were also Lao Chen, Lao Zhao, and Lao Fang, who went to audition together yesterday, and there were five strangers sitting there, three men and two women.
The three men were about thirty years old, and the two women were young, and they looked at each other at most twenty-five or sixteen.
"Thanks to you, Uncle Liu, I finally had a good night's sleep last night, and I slept for sixteen hours, and I didn't have a strange dream...... Who are these people? ā
Tang Nian still had some mansions in his attributes, and when he saw so many strangers at once, he suddenly became cramped and uneasy.
"You're Tang Nian?"
"The kid who hit the big luck?"
"How did you get your acting skills? How did you come up with this? ā
Without waiting for Lao Liu to speak, the two young women asked questions one after another, and for a while, everyone's eyes were on Tang Nian.
"This ......"
When Tang Nian heard this, he didn't know how to speak for a while, he couldn't say that he had been dreaming some strange dreams for half a month, and the time spent as a beggar added up to decades.
"Okay, let's settle the business first, and let's talk about the rest, don't you see, is Xiao Tang afraid of life?"
Lao Liu saw that Tang Nian looked a little embarrassed, so he took the initiative to break the siege and brought the two agreements with red seals to Tang Nian.
""Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop Shareholding Agreement"? "Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop Signing Agreement"? ā
Picking up the document, Tang Nian scanned it for two years, and his eyes showed surprise.
"Xiao Tang, you are going to join the crew tomorrow, it stands to reason that I don't need to mention this to you, but your performance yesterday was too amazing, you are talented, and you are the material for eating the bowl of rice of an entertainer. If there is no change, there should only be one document in front of you: "Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop Signing Agreement...... However, Lao Chen experienced yesterday's events, was disheartened, and didn't want to do this anymore. Hey, Lao Chen is a graduate student in law from Huaxia University of Political Science and Law, he can get an annual salary of 500,000 yuan in the lawyer industry at the age of 32, and he is tired of the lawyer industry at the age of 37, so he plunged into the acting industry, and five years have passed in a flash, from the lowest extras to the current actor who can take over the work independently, which is ...... hard"
"Brother Liu, what are you talking about!"
Lao Chen, the one who gave up the audition at the end yesterday, has a wide face, and his appearance is not amazing, but when he looks up and speaks, the muscles of his entire face move together, and there is a strange feeling that the whole face is alive, and he interrupted Lao Liu's words with a tired face.
"Don Jr., I'll make a long story short. You have just entered the industry, you are not from a professional class, and you do not have a hard background to join the group, so what you need most is strength and luck. It turns out that your acting skills are good, even very impressive, especially since you are only twenty-six years old! What's more, you have luck...... I'll talk about that later. Now what I want to say is that this Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop was established by Lao Liu with eight of us, he holds 20% of the shares, responsible for the general liaison and general responsibility, I and the other eight people each have 10% of the shares, and now I want to withdraw from the performing arts industry, so according to the original agreement, my 10% shares must be transferred and taken over by others......"
"Last night, we talked late into the night and finally got our eyes on you...... Don't be confused, because the big guys watched the video of yesterday's audition. Now you have two choices, first, refuse to buy shares, choose to sign an agreement, this agreement is signed once a year, it is a constraint on each other, it is very formal, you don't have to worry about being deceived. Second, choose to buy shares, then you don't have to pay attention to the so-called signing agreement, you are the shareholders of the performing arts workshop, you can work independently, and you can take ninety or five percent of the remuneration generated in this way, and the remaining half is counted as the operating expenses of the performing arts studio; If you use the Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop during this period, then you have to put 20% of the remuneration into the public account and count it as operating expenses; If it is a play introduced to you by Lao Liu or other shareholders, as long as it is successful, you need to give 40% of the remuneration, 30% will be counted as the operating cost of the performing arts workshop, and 10% will be counted as the introduction fee and will be attributed to the shareholders who introduced you; Other performing arts businesses that come to the door, no matter who is selected, are all seventy-three points, seventy percent to individuals, and three percent to the performing arts workshop......"
"That's pretty much it, you can take a closer look at it, and then tell us your choice!"
After talking a lot in a row, Lao Chen's mouth was a little dry, he picked up the cup and ended his speech.
Tang Nian nodded, picked up the two agreements, and read them seriously, he didn't know much about these, but he just hoped to be able to adapt to the world of extras as soon as possible.
The purpose of "Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop Signing Agreement" is very clear, that is, to select some people with growth potential among the extras who can be like all living beings, so as to maintain the group cohesion of Lao Liu.
The agreement is signed once a year, and the remuneration remitted from the crew is ...... for individuals and performing arts Four-six?
Seeing this, Tang Nian frowned.
The extras are also actors, and they worked hard with the crew, but the big head was taken away by the group leader, which ...... It's really hard to be reconciled.
As for the "Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop Shareholding Agreement", because of Lao Chen's series of explanations, Tang Nian quickly read it all, and there are many drawbacks in this shareholding agreement, such as the transfer of shares, which must be unanimously agreed by the other eight people, and the shareholding fee is ...... 300,000! This made Tang Nian very embarrassed, because he had 20,000 yuan left in his pocket...... As soon as money was mentioned, Tang Nian became vigilant, originally thinking that following Lao Liu, an improvised extras of 100 yuan a day, they were tired of playing and scattered, and they didn't owe each other.
Now, he hasn't even experienced the filming of the crew, so he has to take out 300,000 yuan, will it be a fraud of money?
"I have a few questions!"
"You speak!"
Lao Liu nodded and motioned for Tang Nian to ask.
"First, why is there only 40% of this signing agreement? Second, what kind of category is this Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop? Third, I don't have 300,000 yuan in my hand, and I can't take it out at all, why do you still want me to take shares? ā
"Xiao Tang, you are a young man, then I will use the ideas of young people to ask you a question, do you think, for success, is strength important, or opportunity is important?"
"Strength...... Opportunity...... Strength! ā
Tang Nian frowned, hesitated for a while, and finally chose strength.
"You're wrong! In this entertainment industry, opportunities are far more important than strength! If it weren't for the opportunity given by Director Feng, there would be no baby in this circle at all, and in the era of looking at faces, he would have been naturally shielded from this circle. Similarly, let's talk about Lu Han, the standard post-90s generation, about the same age as you, why is he a popular fried chicken, but you broke a big piece of your knee because of an audition opportunity that you didn't know the result at all, and you were unconscious? Yes, he is very handsome, in this era of looking at faces, Xiao Xianrou is in charge, he naturally has a better chance of getting closer to success than you, than the vast majority of young people with acting dreams, and he has succeeded! ā
"Why?"
"Because he's been given a chance! Joined SM Korea and became a trainee...... In the whole of China, he is much more handsome than him, but why is there only one Lu Han in this circle? Because only one deer Han got a chance! ā
"Of course, you must also have strength, if you don't have strength, even if the opportunity comes to you like raindrops, you will only get wet clothes, and there will be no other gain! After the baby grew up step by step from the stupid root, he accumulated rich strength, which is why he has today's status in the circle, so ...... Since you signed a contract with Huangliang Performing Arts Workshop, all the filming opportunities you can get are given to you by the Performing Arts Workshop, and it is natural for the Performing Arts Workshop to occupy sixty percent of the remuneration, and if you want to change this as a matter of course, you have to show your strength after getting the opportunity! ā
Old Liu Yizheng's words, Tang Nian was stunned when he heard it, and his heart was also shocked.
Because Lao Liu's words can be regarded as the most cruel and true iron-blooded rules in this entertainment industry, yes, in this circle, opportunity is always more important than strength.
Moreover, what Tang Nian knows, there are some people in the circle who are very poor, but because there are too many opportunities, he is stunned to brush up his sense of existence, well-known and unknown dramas, no matter how much scolding from the outside world, he can get involved, who makes the family have a big background.
It's just that what Lao Liu said is so sanctimonious, it really makes Tang Nian a little uncomfortable, and he always feels that the style of painting is off track.
"As for this performing arts workshop, the procedures are complete, and the officially registered film and television ...... Forget it, you can think of it as a pooled partnership acting studio, where the organization code and tax voucher are all here...... In fact, you don't have to worry so much, we chose you because we are optimistic about your future, which can be regarded as an investment in advance. If you can grow, we will have more opportunities, and it's a virtuous circle. Moreover, as long as you get everyone's consent, you can transfer the shares in your hands, this shareholding agreement is not a constraint at all, but a protection in the process of growing up, because in this circle of group performances, there is also a dark side, if you don't find a support, no matter how hard you struggle, you are just a migrant worker in the entertainment industry! ā
"The cost of 300,000 yuan is actually not much, and 150,000 yuan of this is the cost of raising funds to purchase and share the cost of this three-story building. And it doesn't mean that you should pay all at once, there is a clause in this shareholding agreement, you probably haven't looked at it carefully, as mentioned above, if you don't pay this fee in full within three years and become a formal shareholder, then your 10% of the shares will be forcibly transferred, and the personnel can be proposed by other shareholders. If you were to become a big star one day, would you still care about that? At that time, this small performing arts workshop will not be able to trap you at all, this performing arts workshop, to put it bluntly, is just a group of those of us who have the dream of being an actor to keep warm. Back then, I was also very enthusiastic about Lao Liu......"
As if recalling the past years, Lao Liu gradually stopped talking.
"If I sign this agreement, what else will I get besides being able to get some acting opportunities?"
Tang Nian had actually been convinced, but he always felt that he lacked a motivation to sign.
This is too different from the outsider's feeling when he watched the crew filming.
"In addition to opportunities, it is more about the methods and skills to improve our strength, these are the skills we rely on to survive, without these, how can we stand out from the thousands of extras?"
Lao Wan, who went to audition with Tang Nian and others yesterday, a young man in his early thirties, dressed meticulously, said arrogantly.
"We are all practical people, yesterday you audition, your eyes are very in place, and the limbs are also very rich, but the facial expression is a fatal injury, if your eyes are missing a trace in place, then your facial micro-expressions will drag down your entire performance, do you want to know what the problem is?" Lao Zhao, who also went to audition, a middle-aged man in his early fifties with a thin face, asked with a serious face.
"I'll sign it!"
picked up the shareholding agreement again, Tang Nian did not hesitate, and signed his name without hesitation.
Anyway, they have nothing, and they can't figure out anything about themselves, as for whether they can get ahead and become a big star, even he doesn't believe it, so what else is there to worry about!
Big deal, I'm gone......
"Okay, welcome newcomers!"
Lao Chen saw Tang Nian signing, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and took the lead in applauding.
"Come on, let me introduce you, Lao Chen, Lao Zhao, Lao Wan, I won't say much, first introduce the two beauties, this is Zhang Lan, the orchid of the orchid, she is a variety of delicate babies, what temperament do you want, she can show it to you through clothing and action! This is Li Xiang, who has a good kung fu, if it weren't for his dislike of unspoken rules, he would have been in the position a long time ago...... Hahaha, just kidding, Ah Xiang don't mind, put your feet down...... This is Guo Hongjun, a very cheesy name, don't look at him in his twenties, about the same as you, but he is a master of props, relying on this, many of the crew's scenes are contacted by him; This is Yang Hong, a martial arts maniac, riding a horse, driving a horse, he likes big scenes the most, and he also has his own unique skills; As for this one, his name is Song Linyong, and like Lao Zhao, they are all masters, but Lao Zhao is good at facial micro-expressions, and Xiao Song is good at body micro-movements. It is often said that there is a disguise, and it is this person who is talking about this person, the small movements of the body when he walks, the small facial expressions in the camera, at a glance, he brings the role to life......"
After some greetings, Tang Nian finally remembered everyone, and for further in-depth understanding, it will be necessary to rely on future contact.
"Xiao Tang, tomorrow at seven o'clock in the morning, you and I will go to the crew of "Meng Jiangnu" together, I will take you to sign a contract, it is estimated that you will have to be with the crew for a while, because Director Zhang's play has a confidentiality agreement, and I didn't get the specific script, so you need to think about it yourself after you arrive at the crew. However, I learned from Director Cheng in advance, your character has a process of growth, which is one of the turning points of the plot, playing a tandem role, and there are a lot of shots, but whether or not your name can finally appear on the subtitles depends on your creation. At noon, we will have a meal together, and in the afternoon, we will do a relief make-up class based on your performance in the audition, hoping to correct the shortcomings of your stiff facial expression! ā
"yes!"
Lao Zhao took Lao Liu's words and said: "Director Zhang's shooting is a screen work, and he attaches great importance to the role tension of the actors, the facial expression is stiff, and the shortcomings of the lack of micro-expressions will definitely be magnified in the lens, if you are kicked out of the crew because of this, it will really outweigh the losses!" ā
"I see that your body movements are all very good, but you lack some on-the-spot response, and some small micro-movements are not in place......" Song Linyong touched the mustache specially grown on his chin and frowned.
"Xiao Tang, your eyes are in place, sister, I won't say much, in the afternoon, I will tell you how to wear ancient costumes out of the feeling, temporary assault, if you can achieve the feeling of 'it's your own daily clothes', it would be great......"
Zhang Lan shook her long black hair and said with a smile.
"Let's go and eat first!"
Lao Liu saw that everyone was still going to chat, so he urged, and the group laughed and walked down.
