Chapter 419: Actually, I'm an actor

Ten gold for one word.

Yes, with a script of less than 20,000 words, it sold for $3 million, which can be called a thousand words. Of course, such a record is not the highest, like Rowling's Harry Potter, his manuscript fee income is much more than Chen Jiayi. However, Chen Jiayi is just the beginning now, and who will be higher and who will be lower in the future is really not necessarily.

Looking at these comments, Chen Jiayi did not respond. Because, now, he is making a phone call to Zhang Zixian.

"Zixian, prepare materials and set up Tang Dynasty Film and Television."

"Tang Dynasty Film and Television?"

Although Tang Dynasty Company had also filmed a sleepwalking Zhuxian before, and later invested in Zhuxian movies, it can be regarded as familiar with some of the doorways of the film and television industry. It's just that from the beginning of the Tang Dynasty company to the present, it has been mainly engaged in the electronic information industry. It doesn't seem to have much to do with film and television. At most, set up a computer stunt company, and in the face of the establishment of a film and television company, Zhang Zixian was taken aback.

"Yes, if we want to develop on a large scale in the Tang Dynasty Group, in the end, we can't do without the support of the cultural industry. And film and television, like the Internet, is also a very good platform for cultural communication. In addition, it is a pity that our "Chinese Network", an upstream entertainment and cultural platform, is not well utilized. ”

In fact, in the Chinese network, there are a large number of genres, which are very suitable for making movies. Not to mention the domestic Xianxia blockbusters, there are a lot of Western magic scripts, which can also be well adapted into film and television. Later, in 2011, it was said that Hollywood had purchased the film and television script of "Breaking the Sky", saying that it would start filming. From this, we can see that the influence of Chinese Internet has become greater and greater. Chen Jiayi came back from rebirth, facing the Chinese network in his hand, he not only wanted to spread online literature. Moreover, we also want to spread the outstanding innovations in the Chinese network to the world. Let the eyes of the whole world pay attention to this platform.

Only in this way can the Chinese network be the representative of China and even the world's cultural circles.

Even, at the time of their noise, I was a professional leader of the Chinese network, and I was more famous than traditional writers.

"Okay, I'll hurry up and implement this film and television company."

"By the way, I forgot to mention that in the early stage, you can dig up some domestic experienced practitioners, and as for directors and actors, try to use newcomers. If they can, Hollywood directors can dig it up, too. ”

This is Chen Jiayi's decision.

He doesn't want to find some domestic directors or well-known actors, not that their acting skills can't be. Actually, compared to the world, it's really not very good. The most important thing is that their acting skills have been finalized. In the domestic film and television circle for decades, their performance level has long been polished by the Chinese film industry to the point that they have few characteristics. Therefore, Tang Dynasty Film and Television Company, what Chen Jiayi wants to do is to be bold and innovative. Not only is it the actor, but the director, and the newcomer is completely enabled. Although the newcomer is inexperienced, moreover, the acting skills are not very good. However, their plasticity is very strong, and some even often have some whimsical film techniques, which Chen Jiayi attaches great importance to.

Anyway, Chen Jiayi didn't want to make the Tang Dynasty film and television famous all over the world in a year or two. Recruiting new people now can also be regarded as cultivating talents. In the future, a large number of domestic newcomer actors will emerge at international film festivals. And this group of newcomer actors happens to be from the Tang Dynasty film and television base.

"Well, I'll make a detailed plan."

Although Zhang Zixian doesn't want to enter the film and television industry very much, the reason is that he thinks. Chinese culture, or Chinese films, is simply difficult to spread by the Tang Dynasty company. However, Chen Jiayi, the big boss, wants to play, who can stop it. Even if this Tang Dynasty film and television company doesn't have anything to do, it won't affect anything.

On the contrary, with Chen Jiayi's genius creativity, perhaps, the future is still unknown.

Just like sleepwalking in Zhuxian, who would have thought that a film and television drama that was originally just to promote Zhuxian OL would become popular all over the world. Even, a sleepwalking Zhuxian, perhaps, next year's Oscars, sleepwalking Zhuxian, may really win a few awards. After all, having an unbeatable box office is a success in itself, and it is also a recognition from the audience. If the majority of the audience approves, as a member of the Oscar jury, there is no reason why they should not watch this movie.

After the affairs of the Tang Dynasty Film and Television Company are settled, carefully calculate and look at the future, in 2003, there are still a month or two, and it is about to pass. As the top level of the company, Chen Jiayi has nothing to do at the end of the year. Idle and bored, Chen Jiayi suddenly had an idea, he wanted to go to the "Beijing Film Studio" to have a look. ,

The so-called Beijing Film Studio, that is, Beijing Electric Factory.

Basically, a large number of extras who want to act, which is commonly known as tricksters, will go to this place to squat and film. Once, Chen Jiayi watched a story about the lives of these extras. found that these actors who dreamed of acting in Beijing had an extremely difficult life. However, for their dream of being an actor, they are there, and they have been squatting for three or four years.

Perhaps, you will often see those young people squatting at the door, eating only a few steamed buns, and wanting to film. Perhaps, you will see that those people who just received a role are excited and working hard to play well. Perhaps, you will see, there are some who stand there, and finally get tired of standing and have to leave this place of their dreams. Perhaps, you will also see. How many people will come in when this group of people leaves.......

It's a dream stage.

Countless people across the country are staring at this one place.

Some succeeded, but, more, remained obscure.

Yes, Chen Jiayi is going to that place now.

He wants to take a look at the actor dreams of these young people in Beipiao, and he also wants to see if there is a "king of comedy" played by Stephen Chow among these extras. Even if they can't find it, Chen Jiayi wants to see if they say to themselves every time at the end of the curtain, "Actually, I'm an actor......"

seemed to think too deeply, shook his head, and Chen Jiayi "hit" to Beijing Film Factory.

Fortunately, the Beijing Film Factory is very close to Tsinghua University, and more than an hour later, Chen Jiayi arrived.

At the entrance of the Beijing Film Factory, it is actually very dilapidated, and it seems that it does not have the prosperity of the Beijing metropolis. However, it is this film studio, and there are countless extras gathered at his door, squatting or standing. Although Chen Jiayi has never acted, from the news of later generations, he knows that they are waiting for the play here. Perhaps, they also hope that one day, they can be favored by the director of the film company, just like the star Wang Baoqiang, who will come out of the extras and become a small star.

Chen Jia got out of the taxi, and almost no one looked at Chen Jiayi. Because, they know, this one is the same as before. Don't look at him dressed brightly, in a few months, he will be the same as they estimate, and even, he will be disgraced.

"Brother, come to film."

Passing through these actors, one of them took a hard puff of cigarette and looked at Chen Jiayi, a newcomer, with a smile.

"Yes......, yes, brother, is there any filming?"

In order to inquire about some situations, Chen Jiayi also chatted with some actors on the side. And, when he opened the cigarette in his hand, he sent it to some actors on the side of the road.

"Yo, China."

When several people saw the Chinese cigarettes, they all showed red expressions. However, there is also a hint of bitterness. Seeing Chen Jiayi, they seemed to see themselves a few years ago. A few years ago, didn't I come here wearing a famous brand and carrying a few bags of China? However, looking back on his career, two years have passed, and he is no longer the person he used to be.

"Brother, if you smoke a cigarette, it can be regarded as your love, go back, this is not a place for people."

One of them sighed.

"No, I still want to be a star. I heard that Wang Baoqiang squatted here and squatted out. ”

Chen Jiayi said in an arrogant voice.

"Yes, Wang Baoqiang was also like us back then, squatting in this place."

"No."

Just that one step, he likes to squat the most.

"It's just that among the thousands of people, he is the only one who has walked out."

Some smoked cigarettes and smiled bitterly.

"I said brother, I guess you watch movies every day, thinking that the path of being an actor is very easy. Even if it is a trick, it is said by the outside media how glamorous it is. Actually, let's be honest. Look at a few of our brothers, put them here, like a whole migrant worker, -- ...... No, not even better than migrant workers. ”

Perhaps, they are all good for Chen Jia, and perhaps, they are also lamenting their past.

"Have you ever fallen asleep with a big tree in your arms, or have you ever spent the night in a hole in a bridge? Perhaps, did you ever eat only two steamed buns per meal for a month? ”,

"No, I don't."

"With us, it's all too common."

Hearing the words of several people, Chen Jiayi found that some of the videos he watched at the beginning were still beautified versions of extras. Although, when he watched that video, he also felt that it was not easy for these people to see the masses. I remember the original video, when I interviewed a little girl, this little girl was going to act on the last day and was leaving here tomorrow. When the reporter interviewed her, why was she able to persist for two or three years, and now, without any achievements, she left.

At that time, the little girl smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know, probably, tired." ”

yes.

This tiredness is not only physical tiredness, but also mental tiredness.

They stay here for a year, two years, or even three years, and still have no chance of getting ahead. Even, there are many actors, who have been actors for a few years, and the most common line is just an "ah" word, and, at most, let you shout this "ah" louder, and it is not enough to say more "ah".

"In that case, guys, why are you still staying here. It's much better to find a regular job. ”

After this chat, Chen Jiayi knew their suffering.

To be honest, it's really, extras, really worse than migrant workers. The income of running tricks a day is about 30 yuan. The 30 yuan, in Beijing, need to eat, rent, and ...... by phone, and the 30 yuan is not available every day. When there is no trick, there is no income of 30 yuan a day. Often many times, in a month, they can only take 20 days of play.

It's just that Chen Jia is an outsider, so he can't help but ask.

I'm gone, so hard and tired, and still staying here, is there something wrong with my nerves?

"yes...... why are we still here?"

A few people were stunned, and then, it seems, was speechless again.

Could it be that I have been holding on to the dreams of the year, has the reality not beaten me down, or is I still unwilling?

"I just want to say that this is a point of no return."

"I ......, I understand."

Seeing their expressions, a word of no return, all of a sudden, Chen Jiayi suddenly brightened.

"Get in, you'll have a hard time getting out. If you come out, you never, or, for the rest of your life, don't want to come in again. ”

That's why they've been reluctant to leave.

Perhaps, even if they are down, they have not forgotten the feeling they felt when they first came in. The kind of blood that swears to enter the acting career for a lifetime has always supported their backbone.

This is the extras, thousands of stars, who have long covered up the bitterness of the actors.

Seeing this, Chen Jiayi wanted to shout, "Let's go, brothers, I'll give you lines, I'll give you the camera, I'll shoot you, I'll make you stars." ”

However, in the end, Chen Jiayi shook his head.

This is just a microcosm of the thousands of extras, how many people can they receive?

"Why, didn't you get a play today?"

Chen Jiayi looked at the people who stayed at the gate of the Beijing Film Factory, waiting anxiously.

"I heard that the soldiers were going to recruit extras, and all of us from this area came. It's just that noon has passed, and no organizers have come, and I don't know if we are released pigeons. ”

Just as this buddy finished speaking, at this time, a shout shouted, "The soldiers are recruiting extras in a surprise attack, and the salary is 35 yuan a day, and those who want to come dare to sign up quickly." ”

"35 pieces of ......, good class."

Unexpectedly, the price actually increased. A few buddies on the side were about to run over when they heard the joy. However, one of the little fat actors ran halfway through, then trotted back, and said to Chen Jiayi, "Brother, go back, really." ”

After saying that, he went to sign up for the soldier assault.

"By the way, brother, what's your name?"

Chen Jiayi shouted at the figure who was going forward.

"My name is Xu Fat, just call me fat."

The voice came from afar, with a hint of excitement. It's probably been waiting for so long, and finally filming again. Although, some of them, the extras, may not even have a single line, or even a shot. However, as long as there is filming, they are happy, and as long as there is filming, their dreams will always exist. ,

Looking at the group of people who had signed up, Chen Jia stayed for a long time, and then, wiping his eyes, was about to leave.

Because, from here, he has already gotten too much information.

However, just as Chen Jia turned around, one of the dozen or so extras on the side spoke.

"Brothers, let's go, it's all said, on the last day, although this soldier's assault was good, it was actually like that. Let's go, didn't we promise the aunt in Ziyang Street to play a thunderstorm for them? ”

Chen Jiayi looked to the side.

I only saw a lean young man, who was talking to some extras around him.

Among these extras, there are men and women, about a dozen people, and they have probably been squatting here for several years.

After the lean young man finished speaking, he took a group of people and others and left in another direction. And among them, there is an arrogant and cute MM, with some attachment, but he doesn't look back and glances at the Beijing Film Factory. In this glance, Chen Jiayi seemed to have seen that, perhaps, this was the final goodbye.

"Wait......,

For some reason, Chen Jiayi chased after him.

"Can I attend your show?"

Although, Chen Jiayi has never acted.

However, Chen Jiayi believes that from his rebirth to the present, he has been acting every day. Moreover, it is also broadcast live every day. Although the ratings are very low, he has always been acting in his true colors. If he wants to win the Oscar, he should be caught off guard.

"You're ......."

A few people turned around and saw a well-dressed boy with large black-rimmed glasses trotting towards them.

"I, I'm also a North Drifter, and I originally wanted to be like everyone else and enter the acting routine. However, I've only just arrived, so I don't know the rules. I just listened to what you guys are going to play" Thunderstorm. "It's a well-known drama, even though I haven't acted before. However, I would love to perform with you, even if there is no camera ....... ”

"Okay, add one more to you."

The lean young man smiled at Chen Jia and agreed.

"It's a good thing you didn't go, or you might have been like us.

Along the way, in the face of Chen Jiayi's joining, there were many topics for a while. Everyone said to Chen Jiayi, "Don't enter the showbiz, otherwise, there will be no way to regret it." Look, some of us have been worn down by the years to be no longer human, just a little younger, or else, just like us. ”

"Flutter, Sister Zhao, how can it be as exaggerated as you say."

The girl who turned back just now, everyone called her Xiaoxiao. It looks like she is about seventeen or eighteen years old, and everyone takes good care of her.

"Although acting is very hard, it's good to be able to meet all the big sisters and big brothers."

Xiaoxiao may still be a little naΓ―ve, perhaps, she is still full of infinite hope for life.

"yes, don't cry and say that there is no filming."

That Sister Zhao laughed a little for a while.

"Hahaha......"

Talking and laughing all the way, soon, several people came to Ziyang Community.

Ziyang Community is a well-known community for the elderly in Beijing.

Most of the people who live here are elderly. It's even a bit like an activity center for the elderly.

"Auntie, we're here to play a thunderstorm for you."

The lean young man's surname was Fang, and his name was white, and when he came to the community, he shouted loudly to several old people who were sitting.

"It's Xiao Fangzi here."

Several people were very happy when they saw Fang Bai bring a group of young men over, and they couldn't stop smiling.

"Alas, Xiao Fangzi, you are too polite, you just said casually before, you came over, you let us old men, old ladies, how embarrassed."

"How can it, since we agreed, we have to act."

The group looked excited.

Perhaps, this drama is the one with the most lines since they had the beginning. You know, they have been rehearsing for a long time in normal times, and they used to just practice acting. Now, the last time he starred, probably, was the end of his acting career.

"Good, good, hold... Go, I'll take you there. ”

The old lady took the fan and trotted up happily. Then, he also shouted to the neighbors, "Xiao Fangzi is here to play "Thunderstorm" for us, let's move the bench and watch it together." ”

"What rain, -...-"

An old man on the side asked.

"Thunderstorm, -......"

The old lady said loudly.

"Thunderstorm, this old man, I don't know the snow and rain that thunders and rains in the world."

The old lady counted the old man behind the ear...... [This chapter is provided by [Spread Wings Update Group・Foreign Egg]]
