In fact, Qian Qian himself also felt that it was not okay to go on like this. always acts in bad movies like now, even if she is popular, she can only be a traffic star, and once she loses the topic and exposure, she will soon lose her value. She thought that she should at least participate in a well-made and good film, even if it was a trick that only showed her face.

However, reality and ideals are always far from perfect. A small actor like Qian Qian, who has no resources in his hands, still has to rely on the handout of his agent to have a job in most cases.

Although the shallow agent Zhang Hengyuan is flexible and shrewd, he is not a big man in the circle, he is just an ordinary broker with ordinary resources, and he is only a role in the company, and he has no ability to reach the sky. Therefore, even though Qian Qian has always been obedient and trouble-free, which makes Zhang Hengyuan very satisfied, but the resources in his hands are limited, and based on interest considerations, he is still more willing to tilt his resources to artists with good rising momentum.

Qian Qian looked for Zhang Hengyuan several times for the role, and Zhang Hengyuan promised to help her find a way, but there was no follow-up after agreeing. The money is at a loss, so I can only figure it out by myself. But it's a pity that her connections in the circle are very average, and there are closed auditions for some good films, not to mention that it is difficult for her to squeeze in, and sometimes she can't even receive news.

It was another weekend without work, Qian Qian first went home to visit her mother, and after coming out of the house, she carried her mother's homemade pickles to see Zhang Meiqing.

It's so heart-wrenching! Qian Qian sighed depressedly. Recently, she has been going home and visiting Ms. Zhang's house very frequently, which proves how idle she is.

Zhang Meiqing was really happy and helpless when she saw Qian Qian. Happily, the child came to see him again. Helplessly, this stupid boy has no work to do.

"Xiaoyu, you've come back to see me for the third time this month." Zhang Meiqing looked up at Qian Qian, who was standing on a stool to change the light bulb: "Haven't you received a job this month?" Why are you so free?! ”

"It's a bad script anyway." Qian Qian shrugged: "I have a brain-dead drama on the star in two days, and the production level is simply amazing, fortunately, I don't have a few shots." ”

"It's not going to go on like this." Zhang Meiqing frowned: "If the agent doesn't have a chance, you have to find another way." ”

"I know!" Qian Qian stretched out his hand and handed the replaced waste light bulb to Zhang Meiqing: "I called Director Liu yesterday, and Director Liu promised to help me find a way." ”

"Can you still afford to pay for the bridge now?" Zhang Meiqing sighed: "Most of your salary now has to be handed over to the company, and the remaining part will be given to Director Liu by 20%, how can you afford to support yourself?!" I'm really old now, and the new generation of directors and producers don't know each other very well, and no one buys my face. ”

"It's fine!" Qian Qian stretched out his hand to take the rag handed over by Zhang Meiqing and began to wipe the dust on the lamp: "Actresses don't have to eat, they are so hungry that they become immortal agents are happy!" ”

"How to dress up if you don't have money!" Zhang Meiqing's brows furrowed even tighter: "The actress's face is the capital, and it needs to be maintained at a high price." Don't spend money on skin care products and cosmetics?! And now this trend of street photography, if you want exposure, you always have to dress beautifully, do you need to hire stylists, photographers, and buy clothes? ”

"I really can't afford to catch up with the fashion of street photography." Qian Qian smiled bitterly: "Stylists and photographers have to be hired at their own expense, I am not well-known now, and there is no brand willing to sponsor my clothes." I told Brother Zhang last time to see if he could help me borrow some clothes for street photography, and he agreed, but he hasn't done it yet. ”

"It's easy to borrow clothes." Zhao Jincheng walked in with his hands behind his back: "The photographer can save this money, I'll take a picture." Hire more stylists at most. ”

"I'll give Wen Yan a call." Zhang Meiqing thought for a while and said, "Let's see if he has any opportunities, it's good to be able to pull you." You can't go on like this, the shelf life of an actress is very short, and after the golden period, even if you have a chance, it's useless! Newcomers are stubble after stubble, and the phrase "late bloomer" is a legend for female artists. ”

Qian Qian hesitated for a moment and then spoke: "Forget it." Don't make trouble for Senior Huo, I'll ask Director Liu first. ”

"I'm measured, and I won't make trouble for him." Zhang Meiqing waved her hand to the side to make a phone call.

Qian Qian moved his mouth, and just wanted to object again, 7788 suddenly opened his mouth: "Qian Chuanzi, why don't you hug your thighs?" The original owner wants to mix up in the entertainment industry, but you can't go on like this. It's about our mission rating. ”

"But it's easy to have accidents if you have too much interaction with the characters in the plot." Qian Qian was also worried: "This is my assessment task, I'd rather be cautious, I'll work hard and then think of a way." ”

"But you've tried hard enough." 7788 continued to persuade: "After being in the entertainment industry for so long, you should also know that there is never a shortage of hard-working people in this circle, and opportunities are too important!" You won't be as lucky as the heroine. It's not particularly beautiful, and the acting skills are not very good, how are you going to get ahead? But if you don't look for Huo Wenyan, you can still find the gold owner, although I don't think it's anything, but I think you probably don't like it. ”

Qian Qian was silent. Indeed, she has no background and is not strong, and it is too difficult to get out of the way! Therefore, many young boys and girls in this circle couldn't bear it early, and they looked for money in the hope of exchanging more opportunities. In the face of such behavior, although Qian Qian disagreed, he was not as harsh and critical as before.

It's really easy for anxiety and fear of the future to destroy a person! They are all young children in their early twenties, and they are indeed panicked in despair, right? In this circle where the rules are extremely cruel, the only bargaining chip that young people with no background and strength can come up with is their young flesh.

Qian Qian's company has a beautiful female singer with a wide vocal range and a sweet voice, and she is a very strong singer. Qian Qian once saw her crying and crying like she broke down while brushing her teeth in the company bathroom, and brushed until her gums bleed. But after she finished crying, she would still go out with the gold owner, Qian Qian's eyes saw that she was getting redder and redder, and the expression on her face became more and more numb.

Some are forced, and some are voluntary. In this big dye vat with flashy surface, there are not a few people who sink automatically, there are always people who look forward to selling themselves in exchange for high returns, and the temptation of unearned gains can always attract many stupid children to jump into the pit automatically, but unfortunately, as an artist at the bottom of the food chain, how can he play too high in control?

But Qian Qian thinks that it is always right to work harder, and if you hone yourself seriously, you will not suffer at any time. It's a realistic and cruel circle, and those who don't work hard will never be rewarded. There is no value without strength, even if many young boys and girls are willing to take the initiative to pay themselves to accept the unspoken rules, it can't change the fact that the strength is not good. There are many examples of accepting the unspoken rules and still not getting the chance.
