Hengdian.

This is a magical place where the devil killed in a year is said to be able to circle the earth several times.

As the largest and most well-known film and television base in China, although it is only a county town, Hengdian has gathered most of the middle- and low-level actors in the mainland to make a living here.

There are at least hundreds of crews filming here every year, although most of them are TV dramas, but for the group performances here and the young actors who are wild and happy, it is already a rare opportunity to act in TV series.

Most ordinary group performers, at seven or eight o'clock in the morning, will wait at the door of Hengpiao Hotel, be picked up by one crew bus after another, and sent to different film and television bases and film and television streets near Hengdian to start a day's filming work.

80 yuan a day for an ordinary group performance, 120 yuan a day for a line group performance, more than 200 yuan a day for a special group performance, and the most expensive a few hundred yuan a day for a special group performance, this is the income of most of the group performers living in Hengdian.

It sounds good, at least the daily wage is a little higher than that of the average electronics factory worker.

But most group performances don't get the drama every day, and it's a very good thing to be able to receive the filming for half a month in a month.

Most ensembles struggle at the bottom.

And on this ordinary and calm day, a piece of news broke the peace of Hengdian.

The whole Hengdian was in an uproar.

Wu Yuan, a Chinese director who is a top director in the world, and the company he founded, Light and Shadow Media, wants to cooperate with TV stations to create an actor talent show.

And this show is open to people across the country who love acting and have dreams of being an actor.

As long as you have not played the male or female lead in any star TV series or theatrical movie, you can sign up for the audition.

Once the audition is passed, you will be able to participate in the recording competition of this show with 50 other contestants, not only can it be broadcast on TV, but if you become the top three in the end, you can directly join the era of light and shadow and get the opportunity to star in 2 TV series and 1 movie!

In the next two years, the era of light and shadow will create two TV series and one movie for the champion, second and third runner-up.

This condition may not be too deep for the students who are still in the ivory towers of colleges and universities, after all, they all think that they will definitely be able to enter the entertainment industry after graduation and have the opportunity to become the protagonist.

But in Hengdian, in this extremely realistic group performance circle, this is undoubtedly a pie-in-the-sky thing!

The old drifters who have been in the circle for countless years, have suffered a lot of cold and warmth, and know how difficult it is to get ahead in the actor industry, that is called an excitement.

There are not many others in Hengdian, but there are many golden supporting roles.

A large number of actors who often appear in TV series and movies, and are familiar to the audience but often can't be named, a large number of them are senior special actors from Hengdian!

They may have some characteristics in their image, or they may have no resources and connections, no matter how hard they try, they can only be limited to important supporting roles in 3-5 episodes, and they can no longer break through to the real starring and supporting fields.

Now, here's your chance.

And not even just them.

Some third- and fourth-tier actors who are filming in Hengdian at the moment and are younger than 28 years old are also moved!

"Liying, your chance has come!"

A certain crew in Hengdian finally completed a period of filming, and Zhao Liying, who had no other filming work in the morning, was grabbed by an excited agent before she could sit down on her simple cloth chair that had been used for seven years.

"Liying, you have to go to this show!"

"Back then, you could win the championship of Director Feng's group in the "Yahoo Star Search" co-sponsored by Yahoo, Blue Whale Channel, and Huayi, then you must be able to do it in this draft!"

"What draft?" Zhao Liying asked suspiciously.

Her agent immediately stuffed the phone into Zhao Liying's hand.

This latest smartphone screen is landing on the broker's mobile phone QQ.

In a chat group called "Hairun Film and Television Agent Group", they are chatting about the launch of the audition of "Actors Please Be in Place" in today's sensational circle.

It didn't take a while, Zhao Liying finished reading the chat history, and also learned about the show "Actors Please Be in Place".

"Actor competition audition?" She frowned, "Can I get on this?" ”

"Why not?" Zhao Liying's agent affirmed: "You are only 24 years old this year, and your age is the same." ”

"I haven't played the heroine in any film and television dramas, which is also in line with this."

"You have to participate!"

Although Zhao Liying won the championship of Feng Xiaogang's group with "Yahoo Star Search" in May 2006, she officially entered the showbiz and signed a contract with Huayi Brothers.

But in the past six years, she has only been able to play tricks or play some small supporting roles in some TV series.

She can only be regarded as a big horizontal drifter, she has been filming in Hengdian for six years, and the biggest role she has played is to play five supporting actresses in "Da Nei Low Hand" starring Xu Zheng, and play a seven, eight or nine Qing'er in "The New Version of Huanzhu Gege".

The embarrassing thing is that neither of these TV series has started yet.

The impression she can leave in the audience now is just the maid in "Suo Qingqiu", the supporting daughter in "Good Times Like a Dream", and the third daughter of the Tong family in "Golden Wedding".

Zhao Liying, who is not from a professional class, even if she signed a contract with Huayi, is not an ordinary difficult person to mix in the actor circle in the first decade of the 21st century, which still attaches great importance to professional education.

There is only such a miracle like Wang Baoqiang.

Even if she and Wang Baoqiang signed the same company, Huayi couldn't reproduce the second grassroots miracle in her.

Even after her contract with Huayi expired this year, Huayi did not take the initiative to renew it.

She has been in the circle for many years, and she can be regarded as knowing some insiders in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so after Jiang Wenli's introduction, she joined Hairun Film and Television and became an inconspicuous actor in this company.

There are domestic first-line actresses Sun Li and Jiang Wenli on Hairun, and there is a cutting-edge actor Wang Luodan who is being promoted, and there are not many resources for Zhao Liying.

In the role of Qing'er in "New Huanzhu Gege", she took the initiative to find the crew, and after layers of audition efforts, she was taken by Qiong Yao and given such an opportunity.

In this case, the agent who was assigned to Zhao Liying naturally wanted to try his best to create opportunities for Zhao Liying.

After all, her income is also completely linked to Zhao Liying.

Originally, Zhao Liying's agent was in contact with Yu Zheng's team, hoping to get an important supporting role for Zhao Liying in the sequel TV series "Palace Lock Bead Curtain" to "Palace Lock Heart Jade".

This kind of popularity has even produced a phenomenal sequel to the hit TV series, as long as the production level is above the horizontal line, not to mention that it can be a big hit, it is also a very high-quality project, which can give Zhao Liying a big face in front of the audience.

However, now Zhao Liying's agent has put this matter behind her.

She excitedly pointed to the still lit mobile phone screen, and said firmly: "Liying, you must participate in this show!" ”

"Talent show, you are experienced, definitely good!" (End of chapter)
