set.

This is an investigative report about an actor.
It contains the experience of a person who has been a bit player for ten years. This person is like Zhou Xingchi back then, an actor who is very thoughtful, likes to strive for excellence, and has a very active thinking, but he is also an actor who is not popular with the director and the crew.
The fundamental reason why he was rehired after that dismissal was that Wang Shang heard about him and felt that it was too similar to Zhou Xingchi's experience, so he arranged to rehire him. Then he has been carefully inspecting him for the past two years.
, as a result, he is not like those flamboyant actors who imitate Zhou Xingchi's career in order to get promoted. Instead, he is truly the kind of actor who is enterprising, thoughtful, and capable.
After reading the inspection report, Wang Shang finally made up his mind and told his secretary: "Let him report to the crew of "Now You See Me". I want him to play an important supporting role."
"His image has star quality. Maybe he can be cultivated into a backbone actor like Shen Yao."
"In the end, maybe I can develop into a director."

A dilapidated dormitory...
Li Xianda was searching for actor recruitment information on the Internet. He had not received a job for two months. His four younger siblings were in high school and college, and the burden was quite heavy, so he wanted to try his best to find an actor job.
During the class reunion the day before yesterday, I was put down by other classmates again. Although the classmates did not show it outwardly, the alienation and indifference still made the sensitive Li Xianda feel it. He was once a famous figure in the class.
, I didn’t expect that now I would be overwhelmed by all my classmates. There is a huge gap. Who can understand the feeling.
When he thought of his classmates saying in a joking tone, "Our big star Li, the king of bit players, and the film killer," Li Xianda felt depressed.
Yes. Li Xianda is now well-known in the film and television industry as the "King of Actors". From one perspective, this title means that his level of actor is very high, but on the other hand, it means that he has never played an important role.
.
The so-called "film killer" is the shot with him in it. It always needs to be shot many times, and naturally a lot of film is wasted. It's not because of poor acting skills, but because of too many ideas. In the eyes of the director, this actor is just a shot.
Restless extras, this is the kind of person that a director hates the most.
Therefore, Li Xianda has never been very popular with the major production crews. Even if some crews who do not know what he is doing accept him, if others explain his great achievements, the scenes will definitely be ruined.
The fact that he was fired from Tianwang Studio and then recruited by Tianwang Studio has always been a topic of curiosity for many low-level actors in the industry. You must know that because Wang Shang provided many opportunities to hit Hollywood, many stars
Everyone desperately wants to get into it, and the stars who can enter the Tianwang Group are called "current/future big stars" in the industry.
"Why can he be in there?"
"Is it because of the title of King of Troubles?"
"Take the back door? Do you have a background?"
Li Xianda was also very curious about this matter, and from time to time he fantasized about whether the senior leaders had taken a fancy to his ability and were preparing to use him as the protagonist. However, after two years there was still no movement from above, so Li Xianda gave up.
I searched for extra recruitment information all morning and made more than a dozen calls. When I heard that he was the film killer, my attitude immediately changed 180 degrees and I politely refused.
At this time, Sanmei's call came: "Brother, I want to go work during the summer vacation."
Hearing this, Li Xianda burst into laughter and shouted: "You will be your senior year of high school soon, why are you doing a summer job?!"
"But……"
"It's nothing! I won't let you go! Study hard!!" Li Xianda is a stubborn person, otherwise he would not displease the crew.
Li Xianda's majestic voice finally stopped the third sister on the other side of the phone from thinking about working during the summer vacation.
After losing his temper, Li Xianda sat slumped on the sofa with a dejected look on his face: "It's all my brother's fault!!"
At this time, the phone rang again. A deep voice came: "Li Xianda? I am Wang Lishan. Tomorrow you go to the conference room 29 on the 23rd floor of Tianwang Building..."
Three minutes later, after hanging up the phone, Li Xianda stood there blankly. He even dropped his phone to the ground and was speechless for a long time.
The next day, everyone in the Tianwang Agency knew that the eternal sidekick Li Xianda flew up a branch and became a phoenix, becoming the protagonist of "Now You See Me".
Three days later, the entire low-level actors in the industry knew that the king of bit parts had now become an important role in "Now You See Me". Some were shocked, some were envious, some were jealous...
Suddenly, many low-level actors wanted to imitate him.
——————————
On May 4th, the magic design work of "Now You See Me" was finally completed, and the related props Li Gaofei had also been produced with the full support of Wang Shang.
On May 5, the crew and actors of "Now You See Me" were all in place.
"Now You See Me" follows Wang Shang's ideas and gathers characters that meet Wang Shang's psychological needs.
Xie Feng, one of the Four Knights, a master actor, is played by Xie Tingfeng, who has just joined the Tianwang Film and Television Agency.
Shen Ni, one of the four knights and a master of escape techniques, is played by Shen Yao.
The other two magicians are masters of mind reading, and the thief hired Hollywood B-list stars, Isla Fisher and Mark Ruffalo.
The senior agent was played by Li Xianda, who was appointed by Wang Shangqin. After he read the script, he felt that the world was brighter, the flowers and bees were alive, and the smog was swept away.
On May 6, Wang Shang officially announced that the film has officially started shooting.
Because of Wang Shang’s fame and long-standing achievements, even if no one knew what this movie was about, or even knew that it was about a magician, there were still many media reporters who invited themselves
Come on, there are even reporters from entertainment newspapers in North America.
On the second day of the opening ceremony, many domestic entertainment newspapers reported the matter in large sections, and foreign media were no exception.
"As soon as you hear the name, "Now You See Me" is a special effects blockbuster, so in terms of box office, according to Wang Shang's years of record, it will definitely be a box office hit. The focus of their discussion is no longer whether it can make money.
It’s about how much money you can make.”
“How much box office can it get globally?”
"2 billion yuan?"
"3 billion?"
"Four billion?"
"5 billion?"
"Judging from Wang Shang's ability, and with the astonishing record of "Transformers" of US$1.9 billion, the total global box office of RMB 5 billion is too little and not too much!"
Many newspapers have already sang praises in advance.
"Entertainment Star World": "This movie should win more Oscars than "Transformers."
"Tomato Entertainment News": "Can it create another miracle? Let's wait and see!"
"Starlight Entertainment": ""Now You See Me" will definitely achieve more achievements!"
"Variety": "I don't know what surprises that amazing young Chinese director can bring us."
However, sometimes everything does not necessarily develop according to people's ideas. Sometimes something that is particularly promising may be a big hit...
The king still practices and cherishes...(To be continued...)
ps: 1. I’m very confused, isn’t 180 degrees going straight forward? How do you call it a 180 degree sharp turn?
2. After posting a single chapter last night, I always felt like I wrote something wrong or used the wrong words. I didn’t return until two o’clock last night, and then I didn’t go back to the dormitory because it was too far away.
