February 5, 2014, the sixth day of the first lunar month.

In an office of the Hengdian Actors Guild.

"Huh."

Just sent away an extras who came to register, taking advantage of a little free, Li Wei, who had been busy all morning, stood up and stretched out with a yawn.

Just after the New Year, he has not recovered on the first day of work after the New Year, and the symptoms of holiday syndrome are especially obvious in him.

However, as the world's largest film and television shooting base, Hengdian has hundreds of crews coming and going all year round, and countless film and television practitioners with dreams gather here, and the actors' union naturally has very little leisure time.

No, just a few days after the New Year, there are more people who come to consult and apply for actor certificates, Li Wei was busy from morning to noon, and seeing that it was almost time to get off work, he finally had a little free.

Stretching his sore body from sitting for a long time, he sat down again, his eyes staring at the office door without focus, but his mind had drifted elsewhere.

It wasn't until a figure appeared in his sight that Li Wei, who was wandering in the world, diverted his attention from the question of what to eat for lunch.

The door of the office was not closed, this person first stood at the door and looked in, noticed that Li Wei was sitting behind the desk, so he politely reached out and knocked lightly on the door, and waited until Li Wei nodded to indicate that he could come in, and then he stepped inside.

has worked in the actors' union for several years, and has received more actors of all kinds on weekdays, Li Wei has gradually developed a habit that when he sees strangers, he must first look at the other party's appearance and temperament, and evaluate whether the other party is suitable for eating the actor's bowl of rice, and this time is no exception.

I saw that the person who entered the door was about 1.8 meters tall, and if the two of them stood together, Li Wei would say that he would be a head shorter. It's just that he is tall, this person still has an outstanding face, clear eyebrows, handsome facial features, and looks very affinable.

Good looks, coupled with a black jacket, a white undershirt and dark jeans, combined with just the right amount of short hair, give people the first impression of being sunny and handsome.

It's just that this person should not be very old, at most in his early twenties, maybe he has just graduated from college, and he obviously has a kind of student spirit, not as philistine as those old oilmen.

But this is also normal, every year there are countless people who want to chase their dreams to Hengdian, and they have the dream of becoming actors and stars, and they plunge into this mixed industry.

However, no matter how ambitious the dream is, the reality is cruel after all, and most of them can only be inconspicuous extras, and after a period of hard work, they can't see hope and naturally leave.

After looking at it a few times, Li Wei gave his own evaluation in his heart: This person is a good material for being an actor.

Of course, the entertainment industry is not good looking and you will definitely be able to get ahead. Even if you take 10,000 steps back, ignoring the professional abilities of the voice, the stage, and the people, if there are no connections and connections, and there are no big companies and big directors who are willing to spend their efforts, although the conditions in all aspects are good, they can only waste their lives in vain.

But such a person will at least start smoothly, ordinary people can only start as extras when they first enter the industry, and the person in front of him must be no problem to be a prospect. If you have some line skills, it is normal to be selected by the director as a special contract as soon as you enter the industry.

The thoughts in his heart were fleeting, and when he saw that the person who came to him, Li Wei put away those miscellaneous thoughts and handed him a form casually.

"Register for the group performance, fill out the form first."

Hearing this, Fang Bo hurriedly waved his hand and didn't pick up the form, "I'm not here to register for a group performance, I'm here to recruit actors for the crew." ”

"Huh?" Li Wei raised his head and looked at Fang Bo in front of him again with doubts.

Recruiting actors for the crew?

So young and already have a job in the crew?

"Yes." Li Wei took back the form and asked, "Which crew are you from?" ”

"Nightclub" Fang Bo replied truthfully.

"Night, shop?"

Hearing this name, Li Wei was stunned again, and the doubts in his heart were even worse.

First, the name doesn't sound very serious, and it's not a crooked crew. Second, his attitude towards work is still quite dedicated, there are hundreds of crews in Hengdian, large and small, although he can't remember the name of each crew, but he will be somewhat impressed, but this crew has never heard of it.

"Why haven't I heard the name 'Nightclub'? Is it a movie or a TV series? Do you have a filming permit? ”

Li Wei asked a few questions in a row, and then said: "Let me remind you first, if you don't have a filming permit, whether it's a movie or a TV series, the crew can't start work." ”

"It's 'Night Club', and there's a pause in the middle of the name, which means a store that is open at night."

Fang Bo first corrected the correct pronunciation of the name, then scratched his head, looked at his expression and seemed a little embarrassed, and replied: "This is an independent film, and I only got the shooting permission a few years ago. ”

"Oh, independent films." Li Wei nodded knowingly, but he was a little disappreciative in his heart.

The so-called "independent film" sounds very stylish, but the actual situation is very different.

As the name suggests, an independent film is one that does not belong to any film group, company or studio in terms of capital investment and production, and the funds required for the film are all financed by the producer or director himself through various channels.

If it was in the years when Chinese films were just starting, then the name of independent films would be better, after all, the entire industry was still in its infancy at that time, and the industry system was not perfect.

But what age is it now, Chinese films are in an unprecedented heyday, which has overshadowed the limelight in Hollywood, and the international prestige of the Huaxia Golden Bull Awards is much greater than that of the Academy Awards.

The film industry has long had a very complete system, and all departments and types of work can work closely together to make a qualified film. The absence of external investment often means small productions and low costs, so a large part of today's independent films are linked to shoddy production.

"It's called "Nightclub", you wait for me to check it."

Li Wei skillfully typed the keyboard and typed the word "nightclub" into the system, and the computer screen soon displayed the filing and publicity information of the movie.

"Okay, it's good to have a shooting permit, so what is your position in this crew?"

"Director."

Fang Bo subconsciously gave an answer, thought about it and added: "At the same time, I am also a producer, and I may have to take on other positions when shooting." ”

"Oh, that's right." Li Wei nodded, although he didn't show any superfluous expression on his face, he inevitably felt a little funny in his heart.

A young man in his twenties, even if he can get the funds needed for a movie, he is not a master after all, and no one can make it if he wants to. If you don't have enough professional ability, even if you are full of enthusiasm, what can you do in the end?

But what you think in your heart is one thing, work is another, in the final analysis, people have a formal shooting permit, and they are willing to take money to smash it in, and what the movie makes has nothing to do with Li Wei.

"That's fine."

Li Wei smacked his lips and said seriously: "What type of actor are you looking for, tell me the general requirements, as long as you are an actor registered in the actors' union, I can help you contact you." But you also have to know that all the union can do is matchmaking, actors and actresses who do not agree to auditions, specific schedules and salaries, etc., all need you to communicate with each other. ”

"Hmm." Fang Bo nodded in understanding, and then said his request, "The male lead, aged between 30 and 45 years old, and between 1.7 and 1.8 meters tall......"
