Chapter 33: Reflections on the Future

Wu Bo admired Bai Xiaofei very much, otherwise he would not have graciously invited him to join Xitian before.

Seeing Wu Bo walking in, Yang Lan and Zhang Shan hurriedly stood up from the ground and greeted respectfully: "Hello Teacher Wu!" ”

This is a big senior!

“… Why are you there? ”

Wu Bo obviously knew about Yang Lan and Zhang Shan, but he didn't know the relationship between Bai Xiaofei and them.

"Teacher Wu, that's the case, I am classmates with Shanzi, it just so happens that he hasn't had much drama recently, and I have one less partner, so I called him over!"

“… Are you classmates with Zhang Shan? ”

Wu Bo was a little surprised.

"Yes, we have a dormitory for one class!" Bai Xiaofei hugged Zhang Shan, "To describe him as Iron Porcelain in a Beijing dialect, by the way, Mr. Wu, I will trouble you to help introduce me when you go to the scene!" ”

"That's fine!" Wu Bo smiled: "... I'm also worried that you'll suffer if you don't have a familiar face in this issue, it turns out that you have a secret weapon hidden! ”

"Hey, hey..."

Bai Xiaofei chuckled a few times a little proudly.

"Teacher Wu, is there anything you have come here for?"

It was Yang Lan who asked this sentence.

"Oh, I have something to do with Bai Xiaofei..."

"You say!"

Wu Bo looked at the few people who were looking at him, hesitated, but still spoke: "... Your script "Ma Xiangyang Goes to the Countryside", our company wants it, you make a price! ”

“… You will give it according to the rules of the industry. ”

Bai Xiaofei thought there was something big, just a script!

"Xiaofei, I won't hide it from you, if you really want to follow the rules of the industry, you are a newcomer, and the price will be very low!"

This is a common rule, TV drama screenwriters, an episode is 500 yuan to 450,000 yuan, and even higher is directly involved as an investor.

Bai Xiaofei is a newcomer in the screenwriting industry in the pure sense, "Ma Xiangyang Goes to the Countryside", the script of 40 episodes, he can only get a maximum of 200,000 screenwriter fees!

This is still because of the recognition of the well-known actor Wu Bo...

Wu Bo felt very embarrassed, really, he thought this book was very good, no worse than the books written by the top screenwriters!

The income of those screenwriters scares the!

450,000 episodes...

Although it can't be compared with the salary of Xiao Xianrou, it is enough to kill most of the powerful factions in seconds!

“… It's okay, it's my honor to be recognized by Mr. Wu! ”

Bai Xiaofei waved his hand.

He really doesn't care, he still has a lot of stock of scripts.

"That's embarrassing." Wu Bo thought for a while and suggested: "In this way, you can see which role in this script you like, I'll go talk to the director and recommend you to audition..."

Wu Bo said very politely and recommended the audition.

"Ma Xiangyang Goes to the Countryside", as the biggest actor, wants to arrange one or two roles, in a word!

“… I? Acting in a TV series? ”

Bai Xiaofei was a little confused...

It's really not that he can't watch TV series or whatever, mainly, he never thought of debuting through TV series, let alone debuting through "Ma Xiangyang Goes to the Countryside".

In other words, as early as half a year ago, he had already extinguished the idea of being an actor!

Generally, acting students who graduated from film schools are reluctant to appear in that kind of special fantasy film and television dramas, especially Chinese opera, they pay attention to real listening, real watching, and real feeling, and the methods they accept are all realistic.

In recent years, large-scale costume fairy dramas have become popular in the circle!

Most of the modern dramas that can be broadcast are suspension dramas or idol dramas, and occasionally one or two dramas are directly invested by TV stations, and the actors are also descendants of TV stations.

After Bai Xiaofei graduated, he ran two crews, both of which were modern dramas, and he didn't even pass the first round of auditions - the assistant director didn't look down on him at all!

"The Comedian" is an opportunity for him in life, through "The Comedian", more people can know him, but what about after that?

After that, he didn't think much about it, probably just staying at the TV station, or taking Yanjing to break in, as a behind-the-scenes identity.

In short, being an actor is no longer in his consideration!

When a person becomes famous, there are many more roads, and maybe being a director is also a good choice.

Wu Bo's sudden invitation made him feel a little out of touch.

"What? You can't watch TV series? ”

"No, how is it possible, I'm a little worried that my image may not fit for the small screen..."

Zhang Shan suddenly laughed and interjected: "What's wrong with your image?" ”

"The appearance is too ordinary, and the public recognition is too low!"

Bai Xiaofei smiled self-deprecatingly: "With my appearance, at most I will play a supporting role, and when I get old, someone may say something, an old drama bone, but I definitely have no chance to play the leading role!" ”

Zhang Shan obviously disagreed with Bai Xiaofei's statement: "According to what you say, should I also put out the idea of being an actor as soon as possible?" ”

I don't think you need to be handsome to be a good actor. This is Zhang Shan's famous saying...

“… Shanzi, you are different, although you are not handsome, but there is a ruffian on your body, after the end of "The Comedian", I will write you a notebook and promise to make you popular! ”

“… You're so powerful, why don't you write a book for yourself? ”

"I..."

Bai Xiaofei paused for a moment and did not speak.

……

Speaking of data, there are 25 students in the Chinese opera performance class every year, and these 25 people are all screened out from tens of thousands of old students who have acting dreams, that is to say, they must have points that impress the audition teacher!

Usually three years after graduation, sometimes not at all, there are basically at least ten people who have given up their acting dreams and started to work in other industries.

Why?

There is no acting!

No drama, which means no income!

The two major film and television drama gathering centers in China, Yanjing and Shanghai.

Needless to say, the consumption level of these two places is ridiculously expensive!

No income means you can't chase your dreams – you can't even guarantee survival, and you're embarrassed to talk about your dreams?

So what to do?

I can only find a job that can guarantee that I will not starve to death!

Let's take Wu Bo as an example, he has worked as an assistant, opened a shop, and set up a stall when there is no drama to shoot for so many years...

How many people can hold on for so many years? How many people like him have ended up with nothing?

He was an assistant next to his classmates for a while, what is an assistant? It's to carry a bag, drive a car, and end the bench. Would you like to be an assistant to your classmates?

In any industry that has anything to do with art, hard work and hard work does not guarantee that you will succeed.

No industry will be as realistic as the actor industry, and the treatment of leading and supporting roles is very different!

Bai Xiaofei doesn't really want to be an actor, it's true!

It's all about making money, why don't you do anything?

Even if you nest in the Tsing Yi Club, at least you don't have to worry about eating and drinking in this life, and you can exchange body fluids and cheese with the female anchors of the TV station if you have nothing to do.

Running the crew to be a grandson?

Lao Tzu is so talented, why bother!
