Chapter 546 Ensemble and Alternative(1/2)
Things like putting on a show on the set and acting like a big name are as commonplace in the entertainment industry as eating and drinking.
There are tricks for those with small wrists, and there are tricks for those with big wrists.
As an extra in Hengdian, Zhou Mingzhe has long been familiar with it.
After all, most of the time, extras like them are the ones being fooled.
Just when Mu Qingyu reached out to hit Shen Manying, Zhou Mingzhe was the first extra to step forward, one step ahead of director Xiao Ce who was not far away.
First of all, it was because he was playing the role of a high school student in the classroom, so he was relatively close to him.
Secondly, it’s because as a group actor who has been working hard in Hengdian for five or six years, he has his own little ideas.
Zhou Mingzhe is 22 years old this year, with regular features and handsome appearance.
After putting on a little makeup, she looks like a little girl.
After graduating from junior high school, he entered the society because of his unsatisfactory grades.
I learned to be a mason from my relatives in my hometown, but I ran away because I found it too hard. I traveled all the way and finally came to Hengdian.
Like most young people who dropped out of school early and have low academic qualifications.
Zhou Mingzhe is deeply abused by those in the entertainment industry who are quick to make money and brag about short videos.
I have neither received professional training nor accumulated any connections, and even my thinking is very naive and immature.
It is all based on a dream of becoming a star and a youthful passion.
In this way, he became a "dream chaser" among the hundreds of thousands of drifting troops.
In their hearts, they all feel that they may be spotted by the director in a certain play in the future.
Just one play can change your destiny.
Become a big star, marry Bai Fumei, and reach the pinnacle of life.
Zhou Mingzhe had the same idea at first.
But the day-to-day life of group performances gradually wore away the energy in his heart.
He had thought about leaving the business.
It's just that he has no academic qualifications, no skills, and no funds. Apart from going to the electronics factory to tighten screws, Zhou Mingzhe can't think of any other way out with his experience.
In addition, I am used to the luxurious life of celebrities.
Zhou Mingzhe felt that instead of going to the electronics factory to tighten screws, it would be better to work hard here in Hengdian.
Although he is not good at reading, his brain is still quite active.
After two or three years of initial struggle, I began to learn to polish my acting skills.
In addition, he is willing to endure hardships and will do whatever the crew needs.
Beggars, soldiers, eunuchs, corpses, passers-by...
Sometimes the working hours in a day even exceed fourteen or five hours.
However, even though he was like this, he was not spotted by any big director at a glance.
The beautiful dreams in fairy tales have not been able to be realized in reality.
In a place like Hengdian, the most indispensable thing is handsome men and beautiful women.
Even to the point of overflowing.
Although Zhou Mingzhe looks pretty good and has certain acting skills.
But he is still just an extra.
this is the truth.
Want to jump from a grassroots to a big star who is making money every day?
After so many years of domestic entertainment, how many are there?
The right time, right location, and right people are all indispensable.
but.
Little people have their own way of survival and tactful thoughts.
This morning on the set, Zhou Mingzhe, like other staff members, saw director Xiao Ce bringing Shen Manying over in person.
And in their words and deeds, they often have the intention of supporting the younger generations.
Many people in the crew are speculating on Shen Manying's identity.
Zhou Mingzhe is no exception.
Many people thought that the sponsor of this show had slipped someone else into the show.
But when Manying Shen only played a very marginalized supporting role, everyone else on the crew was very surprised and strange.
Shen Manying's first appearance was very smooth and brilliant.
When I saw a new actor who looked like a student, actually had such outstanding acting skills.
Zhou Mingzhe thought to himself that this person's origin must not be simple.
So, before the rest of the crew could react, he was the first to step forward.
…
After Mu Qingyu left, Xu Changqing quickly arrived at the scene.
"Xiaoying, are you okay?" Xu Changqing asked with concern.
This idol drama called "Our Meteor Back Garden" was originally a project that the sponsor decided on with a wave of his hand in order to make Mu Qingyu happy.
The idol drama itself is only a small-cost investment.
All the expenses for one episode, including actors, props, filming, logistics, etc., only add up to a few hundred thousand.
It’s about the same price as many shoddy online dramas.
Xu Changqing didn't pay much attention to it at first.
The reason why I agreed to take on another drama in the first place.
One is because the donor is a friend of a friend.
The second reason is to cultivate directors Xiaoce.
As for when Mu Qingyu returns, will the funder withdraw its capital?
Will he be furious with Xu Changqing and the others?
joke!
Would you fall out with your business friends because of your pet dog?
People like Mu Qingyu are people who have no clear understanding of their own position.
In the entertainment industry, what kind of beauties are not there?
The relationship between Xu Changqing and his financial sponsor is much stronger than the relationship with this kind of plaything.
In Xu Changqing's heart, Mu Qingyu?
Who?
Naturally, it is not as important as Shen Manying brought here by Xu Jie.
"Mr. Xu, I'm fine." Shen Manying smiled and shook her head.
"That's good."
Xu Changqing nodded and smiled:
"I have already told Mr. Xu about this."
"He asked you to call him back later."
After saying that, Xu Changqing pulled Director Xiao Ce aside.
"I will handle this matter."
Xu Changqing patted Zhu Xiaoce on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"The money cannot be withdrawn."
"Let's continue filming."
"It's good to have such a fuss. I guess she will wake up when she comes to the set next time."
Zhu Xiaoce didn't expect that things would be handled like this?
As a young director, he knows a lot about the twists and turns in the entertainment industry.
But compared to an old man like Xu Changqing, he is still a little immature.
As a result, Zhu Xiaoce also became more curious about Shen Manying's identity.
