Beijing Film Academy, Room 317, Boys Dormitory, Building C.
Beijing is already very hot in July. On the 1st, the average temperature in most areas exceeded 30 degrees, and the highest temperature in some areas even exceeded 37 degrees, making people truly feel the power of northern summer.
Jiang Yangxu woke up from the heat.
He went to bed very late last night and caught up on his sleep in the morning, but he didn't get a good night's sleep either.
The air conditioner in the dormitory didn't know when it stopped working. The closed room was stuffy and hot. Jiang Yangxu felt as if his whole body was fished out of salt water. It was so wet and uncomfortable that it was even difficult to breathe.
"Holy shit!"
This Grade 15 sophomore in the Acting Department of Beijing Film Academy couldn't help but cursed, turned over and sat up from the bed.
The distribution box tripped again. The air conditioner installed in the dormitory is at least ten years old. It is a real vintage machine. Many components have aged, causing tripping accidents from time to time.
Although Jiang Yangxu and the people in his dormitory complained to the dormitory many times and even sent an electrician to make casual repairs, the problem was not solved at all.
Jiang Yangxu turned the switch back on and let the old air conditioner rumble into operation again. However, he was not in the mood to continue sleeping and ran to the bathroom to take a cold shower.
After washing away the greasy sweat and heat, Jiang Yangxu suddenly felt refreshed. He put on a clean T-shirt and sat in front of the desk, reaching out and turning on the computer.
Jiang Yangxu is from northern Hunan. He did not choose to go home this summer. Instead, he stayed in the capital like most of his classmates, so he still lived in the dormitory.
Unlike ordinary college students, Jingying students rarely go home during the summer vacation, not only because they are nostalgic for the prosperity of the capital, but most importantly because they can find many opportunities here.
Opportunities to make movies and TV series.
In the past ten years, the domestic entertainment industry has developed extremely rapidly. The number of movies and TV series shot every year has increased steadily, which has greatly boosted the demand for the industry, which of course includes actors.
The Beijing Film Academy is the largest professional film and television school in China and Asia. It was jointly established by the Beijing City Government, the State Administration of Press and Publication and the Ministry of Education. It is known as the "cradle of Chinese film talents" and enjoys a reputation worldwide.
Over the past sixty years, there have been countless film and television drama talents who have graduated from Jingying Film and Television. Directors, actors, cameramen, and celebrities from half of the entertainment industry will come to celebrate every school anniversary!
Therefore, graduates of Beijing Film Academy are quite popular in the industry. Even if you are a current student, it is not difficult to find a part-time job during the summer vacation. As long as you are willing to put down your dignity, it is easy to join a small crew and have a guest role or something.
Many Jingying Film and Television students started filming TV series and even movies while they were in school, and many of the big stars among the students started their rise to glory during their student days.
Although you don’t have to worry about not being able to make a living, the competition in this industry is also extremely fierce. It doesn’t mean that you can have a bright and smooth career with the Beijing Film Academy brand. A large number of Beijing Film Academy students did not do well in the industry and eventually changed careers.
There are not a few.
Destiny is elusive. Talent, ability, connections, luck... can all determine different destinies. Diligence and hard work are also very important and the key.
Compared with other classmates, Jiang Yangxu thinks that his appearance is not superior, his talent is not the best, and he has no network resources at all. The only thing he can rely on is his own efforts.
So this summer, he decided to go out more and run around more. Even if he only earned a lunch box, as long as he could accumulate some experience and get to know a few more people in the industry, it would be completely worth it.
In the past few days, Jiang Yangxu had been busy working in a small crew. The other party was actually a grassroots crew. A certain second-generation man wanted to praise his little love, so he paid people to recruit a team.
It is said that it is a movie, but in fact it is a copycat movie. It is impossible to go to the theaters. At most, it will be released on the Internet. If the click rate is not fake, it will be embarrassing to see anyone.
Despite this, Jiang Yangxu still cherished the opportunity given by his senior. After being introduced to the crew, he not only played a supporting role as a "fourth male lead", but also worked part-time as a handyman.
Last night I was busy on the set until one or two o'clock before returning to the dormitory. It was really hard.
But Jiang Yangxu was willing, because after filming the play, he could earn 5,000 yuan in remuneration. Although 2,000 yuan was given to the senior who introduced him, the remaining 3,000 yuan was enough for his food expenses for several months.
If he earns more money from the same job, he can also send some money home.
In order to support Jiang Yangxu's admission to the Beijing Film Academy, the family owed a lot of debt.
Squeak~
As soon as Jiang Yangxu opened the web page, the door of the dormitory room was pushed open, and a lean man rushed in.
"Jiang Yangxu, you are indeed here!"
When he saw Jiang Yangxu, the lean man shouted: "I've been calling you so many times but my phone has been turned off."
"Senior!"
Jiang Yangxu quickly stood up to say hello. He patted his head and said angrily: "The phone must have turned off automatically due to low battery. I came back too late last night and forgot to charge it!"
He turned around and took out his cell phone from under the pillow. Sure enough, it had turned off automatically.
This mobile phone is also an old model from a few years ago. The battery is not very durable and it basically needs to be charged every day.
"You can't do this, go get a new phone quickly..."
The senior waved his hand and said: "If I can't contact you at the critical moment and miss the opportunity, just cry!"
Jiang Yangxu smiled and said, "I'll buy it when I get the money for this job."
The job he is doing now was introduced by the senior in front of him. He is an 11th-level management major. However, he did not stay away from the college after graduation. Instead, he played the role of a middleman and agent.
To put it simply, this senior interacted with different crews, recommended juniors to work on the crews, and then received introduction fees from them, and he made a good living.
For a Beijing film student like Jiang Yangxu, there is no way out if you have a brand. Although you can find opportunities by running the film crew yourself, it will undoubtedly cost a lot of time, and if you encounter those who are unreliable, you will lose every last penny.
If you don't make any money, it's just luck.
It's different for this senior, he has to take a commission, and the crew he introduces is at least guaranteed to get the money. Although the fee is a bit harsh, Jiang Yangxu is willing to cooperate with him.
Although the senior is very shrewd, he is still a good person, and there were no problems in the work he introduced several times.
That's enough.
"Let's not talk about this first..."
The senior said: "Philippine Media came to our Beijing Film Academy to cast actors this morning. Did you know?"
"What?"
Jiang Yangxu was immediately shocked: "Chenfei Media? Could it be..."
"That "My Love from the Star"?" ——
