Chapter 434: Connections
If you want to mix well in the entertainment industry, it doesn't just matter how strong your ability is.
There are many people who sing well, act well, and have outstanding appearance conditions, but they have never been able to get through.
It's not that your ability isn't important, but it's definitely not the most important thing.
The most important thing to gain a foothold in this circle is actually networking.
Some people think that they can meet a knowledgeable Bole, but if you don't have connections, who will recommend you to Bole?
I can't even see Bole's face, and no matter how good Maxima is, he can only be tethered to the trough and eat grass.
Fortunately a few years ago, academic qualifications can be used as a stepping stone, and directors are also keen to go to the school to select newcomers to prove that they have a good vision.
But in recent years, it has not worked, and directors are more willing to use mature actors, coupled with the northward movement of Hong Kong stars, which further compresses the living space of newcomers.
Many rookie actors from prestigious schools simply don't get enough opportunities.
The graduates who stepped out of the school gate were full of spirit, but they were horrified to find that the most important thing for them was not to show their strength in the entertainment industry, but how to survive.
It's embarrassing.
When they passed the art exam, everyone was the pride of the sky, but when they graduated, they faced a serious survival problem.
Who can not be discouraged, so many young people choose to change careers, and only a very few have the opportunity to leave their names in the entertainment industry.
These survivors also spontaneously formed small groups to keep warm with each other.
This is the initial connection, whoever mixes well will take the initiative to reach out to help those who are not good, and all he asks is that one day when he is down, the people he has helped can also help him.
This is where the importance of networking comes in.
In this way, there are always people who can get ahead, so there is also an opportunity to get in touch with a higher circle and get more resources.
This is the status quo of the entertainment industry.
Zhang Chu is an exception, his outstanding appearance conditions, good kung fu, and coincidence allowed him to get the opportunity and firmly grasp it.
Zhang Jingchu naturally can't compare with Zhang Chu, she has good looks and ability, but what she lacks is actually connections.
Therefore, Zhang Chucai proposed to let her contact her former classmates to share the opportunity and lay a good foundation for future development.
"I've arrived at the station, I'll be there later, don't worry!"
Zhang Chu hung up the phone, sat in the car, and looked at the bustling crowd outside.
"Brother, I called again this morning."
Pony is talking about Warner, which was originally scheduled to fly directly to the United States on the 15th.
But now that the 20th has passed, Zhang Chu is still in Anyang.
"Don't worry, tell the other party that I will definitely be able to arrive before the 25th."
girlfriend's directorial debut, Zhang Chu, as a boyfriend, naturally has to be courteous before and after the saddle.
"Brother, look, isn't that the one?"
The pony suddenly points outside.
Zhang Chu looked in the direction of the pony's finger, and a tall and thin young man in a white shirt was looking around blankly.
"That's right, it's him, take it!"
Zhang Chu didn't dare to get off the bus in a place with so many people, as long as he showed up, he could attract onlookers in minutes.
The pony said yes and got out of the car, and soon took the young man into the car.
"Teacher Zhang!"
Zhang Chu smiled and nodded, he and the other party were also old acquaintances.
I also took a class in a classroom back then.
Jin Dong!
A student of the 99th class of Chinese opera.
I just graduated this year, and I'm also confused.
In the play "Peacock", the character played by Zhang Jingchu has a younger brother, the original actor has long since run away, and Zhang Jingchu doesn't want to get it back.
So, Zhang Chu recommended Jin Dong.
Among the students who took that class together back then, Zhang Chu was the one who impressed him the most.
The young man is tall and thin, and he is very handsome.
Later, once Zhang Chu went to the Chinese opera to find Tang Wei, and the two met again.
Jin Dong looked a little nervous, time has passed, things are wrong, Zhang Chu is no longer the actor who was famous because he starred in Qiong Yao's sour rotten drama.
In the past two years, Zhang Chu has participated in almost every popular movie, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a superstar.
He didn't expect that Zhang Chu actually remembered himself, and this time he recommended him to audition.
Am I going to soar into the sky!
Jin Dong couldn't help but diverge his thinking and expand his fantasies.
"What do you think? Take it! ”
Jin Dong hurriedly came back to his senses, smiled awkwardly, and took the script handed to him by Zhang Chu.
"You tried the role of the younger brother in it today."
Jin Dong nodded again and again when he heard this, and he was still a little disappointed in his heart.
Generally speaking, the characters with the code name of the younger brother in a certain work are not very important.
In most cases, it can only be used as a background board, dangling around the hero and heroine.
However, the current Jin Dong is not qualified to choose, and it would be good to have a chance to act.
Many of his classmates are still aimlessly submitting resumes.
But Jin Dong was wrong, the role of Zhang Chu's younger brother is not only not small, but also very important.
Zhang Chu has already read the script of "Peacock".
Different from the traditional narrative structure, it tells the life trajectory of three brothers and sisters living under the same roof in parallel and intertwined time and space.
Zhang Chu doesn't like this kind of slow-paced story very much, but it is undeniable that this story looks like a good seedling who can win an award at a film festival.
Zhang Jing's first appearance was the first protagonist, her sister Gao Weihong.
Like many girls of the same age, Gao Weihong is simple and confused, loves music and life.
Her mother found her a job in a nursery, she didn't want to go, but she didn't dare to disobey her mother's instructions, but in the end she was fired for making a huge mistake and breaking the child's head.
She lost her job and could only go home to be unemployed, but she was restless and saw the plane and paratroopers in the sky, and at that moment, she must have said in her heart: It's so good, I want to go to heaven too.
She chases the parachute and meets the most important person in her life - a paratrooper.
So, the sprouts of idealism were ignited, and she suddenly had a dream: to be a paratrooper.
However, most of the reason for this dream is that she has a crush on this paratrooper.
In the end, her dream was shattered, and she neither became a paratrooper nor became a paratrooper lover.
Her life was still as uneventful as before, and no miracles appeared.
Although Gao Weihong has not stepped out of the town for half a step, her heart actually belongs to the outside.
So, she made her own kite and smeared a layer of magic for her ideals.
If you want to fly, you have to create your own conditions.
As a result, her ideals became a kind of chic memory with her efforts.
But in the end, this ideal was stifled by her mother, and ended with her parents forcibly injecting drugs, and since then, her dream has gone sour.
Gao Weihong, who lost his ideals, compromised on life and accepted the fate of washing bottles.
Even her initial hobby of music eventually fell victim to life.
The family of the old man who taught Gao Weihong came over, thinking that there was an affair between the two, and beat Gao Weihong.
The depressing life made Gao Weihong's desire to escape from this family stronger and stronger, and she wanted to end her family's control of her by getting married.
Eventually, she succeeded.
Gao Weihong's story came to an end.
Jin Dong's younger brother Gao Weiqiang, who wants to audition, is the protagonist of the third story.
As the youngest son in the family, because of his brother's congenital intellectual disability, he was not spoiled too much, but was often ignored.
He is also inconspicuous in this family, every time the whole family is together, he always appears, but he is always silent.
The most daring act was to want to murder his own brother Gao Weiguo, but fortunately his sister found out in time and stopped him.
Compared with his sister and brother, Gao Weiqiang's separate story line is not exciting, which is probably related to his personality and family status.
The three stories are independent and intertwined, without so many youthful impulses, the dance is boiling, and it is more about the unsatisfactory in life.
At the end of the story, the three siblings are back together in a line, a line of life with no turning back.
Gao Weiqiang ran away from home and never returned.
Gao Weiguo and his daughter-in-law run their own small business.
Gao Weihong never mentioned his past again.
is still a plain story, mixed with the trivialities of life.
Zhang Chu couldn't say exactly what he wanted to express, but this kind of mysterious thing can always attract some people.
If Zhang Chu was allowed to act, maybe he would have fallen asleep on the set, but Zhang Jingchu liked it very much, and Jin Dong, who had just got the script, also read it very seriously.
Seem......
I was also moved.
When the car arrived at the hotel, Zhang Chu took Jin Dong upstairs, knocked on the door, and then saw Hu Jing.
This is Zhang Jingchu's connection, as a well-known new generation in the domestic entertainment industry, she appears in the movie, which can play a role in adding color.
"Yo! Big star! ”
As always, Zhang Chu didn't know when he offended her.
For the sake of her coming to help, Zhang Chu decided not to bother with her this time.
Zhang Chu didn't respond, which made Hu Jing feel a little bored.
turned to look at Jin Dong on the side.
"Jin Dong, it's really you!"
"Senior sister!"
Jin Dong is older than Hu Jing, but he is 99 grades, and when he was admitted to Chinese opera, Hu Jing was already in his third year.
Belch......
Generations can't be messed up!
"Let's go inside!"
Before coming, Jin Dong had a general understanding of the current situation of this crew.
Halfway through the filming, the investor ran away, and the director gave up, and now it is the heroine of the play who takes over the director's position.
is also his senior sister's Zhang Jingchu.
"Senior sister!"
Zhang Jingchu looked at Jin Dong.
Born in 76, he is already 27 years old, but fortunately, he looks young, and it is not abrupt for him to play a high school student.
At the same time, Jin Dong was also looking at Zhang Jingchu, but what he was thinking about was ......
Isn't Zhang Chu's girlfriend Tang Wei?
What's going on with Zhang Jingchu?
At this time, Zhang Chude's phone rang again.
Connected and said a few words.
"The parents in the play should also be decided, and they will arrive tomorrow."
is still the power of connections, Zhang Chu's face, many people are willing to give.
