Chapter 143: It's not easy to play a mother

The atmosphere had been opened, and Ning Yuan said tentatively: "What do you think of the other actors in Wulin Gaiden back then?"

"At that time, I didn't feel anything, I didn't think they had anything to do with me, but now I feel it. ”

Ni Hongjie sighed and said: "Especially when you can't choose a role, why do you think this is? Even obviously there is no competition anymore, because it is not on the same level, and the gap is too big." ”

Ning Yuan faced the cruel reality of the entertainment industry for the first time, and it can no longer be described as survival of the fittest, it is simply ......

"Now I can only run around the group, and I am very willing to cooperate with other actors who can't look down on me, and I will do a lot of communication in the early stage, over and over again. ”

"It's a pity that the more you give, the greater your hope, and everyone thinks it's good after trying it out, but there is only one reason why you don't get this role, and that's ......"

"You are not marketable enough, it's not that you are not suitable!"

Ni Hongjie smiled bitterly: "There is a drama where I tried three times, and each time the director was very satisfied, and then there was no news." Some will say, Hongjie, you come to play someone for me, I said forget it, in fact, I was quite shocked, so I didn't want to go. ”

"I always feel that there is no problem with the play, there is no problem with the image, and I can play this role, just because I am not famous, hey......"

After speaking, he raised his head and looked at the boy in front of him, the other party was still a college student, but he already had millions of Weibo fans, much more than himself.

"No way, in this circle, I am the lower level of that pile of goods. But some casting teams don't need you to have any traffic, he just needs to be suitable, and the casting director doesn't need you to give him a kickback, then you may have a chance, this is difficult, but you will always encounter it. ”

Ning Yuan hurriedly asked, "You just mentioned the kickback, have you given those deputy directors?"

"Yes At that time, there was no brokerage team, and someone opened their mouths to ask you. There used to be a lot. They are all richer, richer than me. At that time, I was very resistant, and I was silently rolling my eyes in my heart, I don't go, why should I give it to you?"

"And then it started, oops, what's not going to do, okay. But this is also becoming less and less the case now. ”

Ning Yuan nodded and asked, "Is participating in variety shows also to get more attention?"

Speaking of this, Ni Hongjie suddenly relaxed and said with a smile: "I don't think I will have much traffic, really, it's already like this." But I will always act, I think I can act, and if I don't pick a role, I don't have such high requirements, and if I don't have the strength to be tight, I can play anything. ”

"Actually, I can't die of hunger, there are a lot of dramas for me to play, maybe for a day, two days, grandma I'll act, it's okay, acting, I'm quite happy to act. ”

"Playing someone else's mother and grandmother really has no psychological burden?"

"It's not a psychological burden, I'm envy. used to play an older woman's mother, envy not that others play my daughter, but that she envies other people's plays, and when I get to me, I may not have any words, because the drama is not on me, I am a playmaker. ”

"Besides, my mother also looks different, there are good mothers, there are bad mothers, I have acting experience as mothers, and if I have life experience like mine, not everyone can act. ”

"I always think so, now playing a mother or playing a very small role, I go, if I play well, the director may think of me if he starts the play next time, right?"

"But if you don't go, he won't even think about you, and you won't even have to play your mother. If you don't go, some people go, Mom still has competition, do you think everyone plays well?"

"What about the salary for this kind of role now?"

"Now the income is a fraction of the original salary, because there are few plays. For example, it used to be 1.06 million, but now it is 60,000. I'll take it too, I'll go if the role is good, sometimes acting is really not about money. ”

"Now I know, you have to look at who the director is, what you have filmed, who the screenwriter is, who the photographer is, who the opponent actor is, it is impossible to sell it in the future, otherwise it will be useless for you to take any money. ”

"It's a pity that my judgment is not accurate, I am a very emotional person. People said Mr. Ni, our director likes you very much, come on, and later I found out that the director didn't know me at all. ”

"But it doesn't matter, after I finished acting, he asked me to make a cameo again. Now the director has less right to speak, he can't be the master, and choosing actors is also a matter for the platform, it still depends on the traffic, but the director will at least think of me for a cameo and let me play the first episode. ”

"Because the opening scene of the first episode must be a good actor, and the face must be familiar. So I'm also very marketable in this pile. ”

Ning Yuan couldn't help but smile, his attitude was quite good, and asked, "Now that this variety show is very popular, have you received more dramas?"

"After the first performance came out, the level of looking for me to play my mother has really improved!" Ni Hongjie smiled: "This mother is sometimes promoted to the second female position, and when I get the script, do you want me to play this mother?"

"Hurry up and flip through it, I can't believe it, I said that there are so many plays, there are so many scenes in one movie, the grade is so high, and it is still a commercial film. ”

"There are also mothers of more popular IPs, rich characters, and big directors as producers, it's really amazing, I can't believe this is true. When I read the script, there were so many scenes, whether it was performed in the end or not, this was a breakthrough. ”

Ning Yuan looked at Ni Hongjie, who was smiling like a child, fortunately, people have a good mentality, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to stand it a long time ago, right?

"That's it, a lot of times when it's really hard. When I met the crew, the conditions were very poor, and you didn't even have a place to go to the toilet. You may have to go far into the field to dig a pit and hold an umbrella, but the actress in your group may have an RV. ”

"I was sitting in a far away place, holding an umbrella in the sun, and looking at it and saying, I could go to the toilet inside, and this was my darkest moment. ”

Ni Hongjie laughed at herself a little: "Because you are experiencing this every day, every time the crew runs out and everyone can leave, you have to stay until the end, because you have to wait for them to finish filming first, and then start filming you at three or four o'clock in the morning." ”

"I feel a little lost in that state, because you are waiting when you are in the best state, including the play, you play a scene with me, you are a more famous star, you will definitely shoot you first, and then shoot you after ten films. ”

"But I have to be worthy of myself, you can't let go of this breath, so this is how the acting skills are trained. You sometimes feel quite aggrieved, but sometimes you have to think about it, I still have a scene, and people haven't filmed yet, right?"

After speaking, he stood up and said: "You see today I am wearing a black shirt and high heels, and when I walk through the corridor, people look at me, I am very unconfident, this feeling is different from my role, I am a person who does not like to be noticed in private." ”

"I hope that when I act, I am the one with the most words, the best plays, and the most awesome roles, but when I return to Ni Hongjie, I hope everyone will not pay attention to me, I will be on pins and needles, uncomfortable. ”

"This has been my confusion for so many years, I have been saying that I don't want to be popular, I am annoyed, people always recognize me, and they want to ask me, can we take a group photo? How much do you get? How are you doing now? What are you filming?"

"I feel so uncomfortable, I'm very happy, I like to sit on the stall and eat skewers or something, and I instantly feel that this thing is not delicious, I can't eat it, people keep looking at you like this. I said oh my God, fortunately I'm not very popular, and there aren't many people who recognize me, so if I'm really hot, how can I live?"
