Chapter 13. Shaolin lay disciples (2nd watch)
The entertainment industry is also a river and lake.
And this Jianghu is also divided into many sects.
Among them, Hong Kong TVB is the "Star Shaolin Temple" among many schools.
As the famous "Star Shaolin Temple", it is not easy for you to get in, you need at least three conditions, enough beauty, enough courage, and enough perseverance.
If you meet these three conditions, then you also need to be popular enough, be able to advance in the selection, have enough eyesight, be able to be looked at by the judges, and be obedient enough to enter the training class obediently.
After becoming an official member of the TVB star Shaolin Temple, you will sign a series of training contracts with the company, of course, most of these contracts are unfair, like a deed of sale, but the advantage is that you sell your body, so that people can selflessly pay for you to make you a big star, and you are not afraid of you jumping ship halfway to become a second or fifth boy.
Compared with these regular students, they are almost all "lucky ones", and some unfortunate ones are "transfer students"!
Almost all of these transfer students are products after selection and elimination, and their parents don't love them, just because Wireless doesn't want to take out the registration fees and tuition and miscellaneous fees in the bag, and they are a student "genre" that is temporarily designed. These people are similar to "Shaolin lay disciples", although they have the name of "Shaolin Temple", but the treatment they receive is different from heaven and earth.
These people were placed in the training class and sat in the last row of the class, without the guidance of a special instructor, let alone the opportunity to make extra money, and could only watch others shoot one drama after another. In short, it can be described in eight words: no one cares, and it is left to fend for itself.
Of course, TVB TV will not bother to sign those criticized "selling contracts" with them, because they are not even qualified to sign such unequal contracts.
In TVB's view, these "lack of qualifications, lack of potential", "not good enough to be beautiful", the only advantage is that they are obsessed with "dreaming of celebrities", and it is easy to pay a steady stream of tuition fees from their bags, and they will give you a "like" at the end......
Now, Duan Zihao is about to become one of these people and become the lowest-level transfer student in the TVB artist training class!
……
At this moment, Duan Zihao came to the door of the office of the wireless artist training class teacher with his beautiful girl schoolbag on his shoulder, a cigarette in his mouth, and his legs crossed.
He looked up at the office, then solemnly reached out and knocked on the door.
Suddenly, someone inside shouted, "Please come in!" ”
Duan Zihao walked in.
A bald man in a suit and a bow tie around his neck is busy at his desk, sorting through materials and answering the phone. When he saw him come in, he pointed to the sand, meaning that he should sit down first.
Duan Zihao was not polite, sat on the sand, and then began to look around.
There are bookshelves in the room, which are stuffed with books, what "British Dictionary", what "Ibsen's Plays", what "The Three Dimensions of Performing Arts", and "The Practical Significance of Life as a Play", most of which are literature, history, philosophy and drama professional books, and there is no "Dragon and Tiger Gate", "Rulai Shenzhang" or "Smiling Proud Jianghu", "Lu Ding Ji" and ...... that Duan Zihao likes to read.
The bald man was still answering the phone politely: "The training class will be restructured until next year." In terms of tuition fees, they are happy to receive money for a year and teach them three months of course. Young people, there are a few who can study for a year, and some of them only want to act for a few days, and now shortening the time is exactly what they want......"
"As for the training content, I can just compress it, and I will reflect to the above, such as screenwriting, cinematography, and directing, these messy courses will be deleted...... They are here to be stars, not behind the scenes, and these skills cannot be taught by hand, they all need to be honed and practiced. Besides, if they are made choreographers, what do you want us old bones to do? As the saying goes, the apprentices of the church, the hungry masters, they can't teach them and scold us for not being careful, so if the two sides are not pleased, why should we ask for our own hardships......"
Duan Zihao calmed down, sat on the sand and waited, and finally waited for the bald man to hang up the phone, and hurriedly said, "Hello, I'm ......"
"Jingle bell", the hung up phone rang again.
The bald man motioned to Duan Zihao to wait a little longer and picked up the phone, "Hey, Annie?" What, the restaurant for the evening has been booked, right next to TVB...... It's not good, although you're celebrating my birthday, but I still hope to be able to be alone with you, find a secluded place, communicate well, communicate well...... There are too many acquaintances in that restaurant, I'm afraid...... Oh no, no, soory, Annie! I'm not afraid of being with you now, how can it be, I have a bright teacher-student relationship with you, how can I mind what others think?! ”
The bald man glanced at Duan Zihao, turned his head, took the phone and lowered his voice and said, "But people are terrible, it's better to go to your house, I'll buy a bottle of high-end red wine and your candlelight dinner, how about it?" I'm familiar with your road, and I've not been there once or twice...... I hate it, if you say that about the teacher, the teacher will be angry......" The bald man's voice was like honey.
Duan Zihao didn't want to listen to it, but his ears were too sharp, and a layer of goosebumps immediately appeared all over his body.
Seeing that this "respectable" Mr. Director was really "too busy", it was estimated that he would not have time to take care of himself for a while, and it was not a way to sit like a fool, so Duan Zihao stood up and walked around,
The office is large, with a variety of awards and diplomas hanging on the walls around it.
There is a certificate of qualification of "first-class tutor of stage play", a certificate of "best excellent lecturer", and a high diploma of "doctor of film department of Columbia University" written in English.
In addition to these, there are even photos with many people, there are many big-name stars, such as Dillon, Fu Sheng, and Asia's No. 1 actor Jiang David, etc., and there is a photo that is very large, and it is obvious, but it is a photo of the sixth uncle Shao Yifu presenting the award certificate for this person.
If it weren't for hearing that this guy was busy engaging in "teacher-student love", just seeing these things, Duan Zihao would definitely be in awe, but now, I just think these things are nothing more than that.
After reading the award certificate on the wall, Duan Zihao shook to the bookshelf again, took out a book and looked at it a few times, it was too advanced and profound to understand, so he stuffed it into it again. Then he paced to the feng shui fish next to him, and saw three beautiful koi fish swimming freely in the tank.
Duan Zihao knocked on the fish tank with his hand, and the koi fish was so frightened that he hurriedly swam away, Duan Zihao couldn't help but be interested, so he picked up the fish food on the side and fed it little by little.
At this moment, a bald man's voice came from behind him, "Hey, what are you doing?" ”
Duan Zihao's hand shook, the whole bag of fish food fell in, and the three fish hurriedly grabbed the food, and the fish tank was in chaos.
"Oh nothing, just a casual look!" Duan Zihao pretended that nothing happened, and hurriedly returned to his seat calmly.
The bald man was obviously in a happy mood, and when he saw Duan Zihao sitting down, he said, "Coffee, or tea?" ”
Duan Zihao was stunned, "Then let's make tea." ”
The bald man poured him a cup of tea very politely, and then said: "This cup is the best frozen top oolong tea, a cup of eight hundred yuan on the market, I hope you like it...... Oh yes, I was so busy just now that I forgot to introduce myself, my surname is Mai, Mai Qiuwen, and my English name is Pete Mai, and he is the director of the TVB Interpreter Training Department. Hmm, pls which advertising agency did you send from......"
Duan Zihao: "Oh, you may be mistaken, I'm not from an advertising agency, I'm here by myself......"
"Coming by yourself?!" Mai Qiuwen glanced at Duan Zihao, looked at him, and then politely took the cup of tea away, and said: "This cup of tea is good, but the taste is a little bitter, I'm afraid you won't get used to it!" Then he pulled out a box of cigarettes, "Smoking?" This is a small cigar and it is rare to find it on the market! ”
"Since you're so polite, then I'll have one!" Duan Zihao took the cigarette.
Mai Qiuwen: "May I ask you to be from the drama troupe, I said that I wanted them to introduce a teacher to teach the students to act, but I didn't expect you to come over yourself, hehe!" ”
Duan Zihao: "I'm sorry, actually...... I'm not a teacher either. ”
"Not a teacher? So who are you and what are you doing here? Mai Qiuwen was surprised.
"I'm here to report, the ...... Transfer students! ”
"Transfer student?" Mai Qiuwen was stunned for a moment, and then politely took the cigar back and said: "Smoking is not good, smoking is harmful to health, especially young people like you, you should pay more attention to your own image!" ”
Duan Zihao: "......"
This thing is a chameleon.
"Well, what's your name?" Just when Duan Zihao was thinking about it, Mai Qiuwen had already gotten up and started to look for information.
"Duan Zihao. Duan Yu's Duan, Mencius's son, and heroic's Hao. Duan Zihao said.
"Oh, here...... Is it Duan Zihao? Education: middle school, age 20, no specialty, no acting experience, no ......" Mai Qiuwen frowned, "suddenly raised his head and asked Duan Zihao: "Then do you have an acquaintance in TVB?" ”
Duan Zihao shook his head, "No." ”
Mai Qiuwen: "That's weird, so how did you get in?" Forget it, you fill in these things first, and this student card, don't throw it away, it will record your learning...... As for other things, if you don't know, just ask, don't do anything wrong, the consequences of doing something wrong are very strict, no matter who you are backstage, you will be kicked out! ”
In an instant, this bald guy was full of positive energy, and even the bald head was faintly bright.
Duan Zihao didn't care about these, he took a pen and filled in the forms handed over by Mai Qiuwen one by one.
The content on the form is very simple, roughly the employment history, home address, and contact details. The content is similar to that on the profile, and it's OK to copy it directly.
After about a few minutes, Duan Zihao filled out the form and handed it in.
The bald guy took it and glanced at it casually, and said, "Okay, you're basically done, and we have to go through the normal payment procedures...... All the fees I have mentioned below do not include the registration fee and study fee you have paid, but the textbook fee, material fee, as well as accommodation fee, food fee, and other miscellaneous expenses, which are about 13,000 yuan in total...... Doesn't it sound like a lot, but it's actually not much, on average, it's only 1,083 yuan a month! ”
“…… Do you swipe a card or cash? No, it doesn't matter, in fact, our training class is very humanitarian, and we have specially formulated an aB package for those students whose families are in difficulty. A package allows you to repay the loan while studying, and the interest is converted according to 1.5% of the bank; For package B, you can choose to work part-time at TVB to repay the loan, and the main business is garbage cleaning and toilet cleaning, so work-study is also a very good choice! ”
Listening to the bald guy's introduction to the payment, Duan Zihao couldn't help but wonder if this was a study class or a pit class? ! It's no wonder that few celebrities who come out of here have been pitted, brother, Andy, Xingzi and others are financial experts, and they have all been pitted.
"I've said so much, I guess I already have a general understanding of our basic situation, and if you don't answer, you mean that you have accepted the payment I just made...... So good, now I wish you a happy study in the TVB artist training class! Now you go out and go to the right, and there is the training room...... Remember, this is a TVB training class, not an outside tutorial class, if you do something wrong, you will be kicked out! ”
Duan Zihao said impatiently: "Okay, I don't have my ears back, I heard everything you said, especially the last sentence, you have already said it twice!" Then he ignored the bald guy and went out in style.
"Damn, what kind of attitude is this?! A transfer student dares not to take me seriously?! Thinking again, "If you drag it like this, you won't really have a backstage, right?" ”
Mai Qiuwen scratched his bald head, he was a little unsure of Duan Zihao's mysterious identity, he walked to the feng shui fish, habitually glanced at his beloved koi, but saw that the three fish were foaming at the mouth and turned their bellies......
