202 Is there a problem with life style? Yes, it's Cao Xuan
Nortel, large cafeteria
After school at noon, a group of handsome men and beautiful women appeared in the cafeteria dressed up in fancy clothes.
Most of these are students from the Nortel Performance Department. They come to the cafeteria not only for eating, but also to express themselves.
Major art schools such as China National Theater and Beidian Theater have all the stars of tomorrow, so talent scouts or casting directors often come to the school to recruit people.
And there is no place in the whole school that is easier to stay than the canteen, where you can eat, drink and have seats. The whole school comes to the canteen to eat and choose whatever you want.
This is an unspoken rule in the circle, and students at the school know it well, so they pay more attention to it and hope to be picked.
Even if it's not a big production company or a big company, if you play a small supporting role, you have the qualifications to act, not to mention you can get paid.
Currently, Nortel is enrolling students in grades 97-00 and grade 01 in the summer in September.
However, although they have not graduated, there are already many actors who have become famous.
Most of the 97 seniors have already made their debuts. Hai Qing, who will be the most popular in the future, has acted in two dramas, with a small role, mainly as a supporting role for Fan Xiaopang.
Huang Haibo took on the role of "The Passionate Years". Speaking of which, he would become a disciple of Li Xuejian in the future, and he could be regarded as a fellow disciple of Cao Daguan.
But now that Cao Xuan is here, the two of them don't know if they still have the fate of master and disciple.
It is said that he originally had the opportunity to act in "The Swordsman", but failed due to various reasons.
But at that time, he was spotted by Kang Honglei, the assistant director in charge of casting. Later, Kang came to the position and asked him to play the role of Shi Guangrong's eldest son.
Li Jie, whom I mentioned before, is also from this class, and is currently the best-developed, supporting actor in major dramas, and also playing the male lead in small dramas.
After "The Swordsman" is aired, if nothing unexpected happens, he will be the first one in the 97 class to become popular.
Frankly speaking, Nortel's Class of 97 is still very capable as a star class, but there is a more perverted Class of 96 above, so they can only drag Huang Lei into the teacher-student relationship.
In comparison, level 98 is relatively shabby.
I don’t know if it’s fate or not, but the class of ’96 in Nortel China Drama was a class of legendary stars who were famous throughout the school’s history.
The level 98 was pitiful. Only Deng Chao came out in the middle of the film, and Zhu Yuchen was barely added. The only one in Nortel's level 98 that was considered popular was Miao Pu.
In the peak period of the nursery, it can only be said that it was barely on the front line, and its most outstanding works were "The Fragrance of Sophora Flowers in May" and "Mu Guiying Takes the Command".
In fact, Miaopu was once targeted by the Four Little Huadans to create a Four Little Qingyi. She was one of them, and the other three were Zhu Yuanyuan, Little Tao Hong and Sister-in-law Lu.
Except for the last one, the other three can be regarded as standard Qingyi methods, but they are not very famous and not many people know about them.
Later, the media rated another one of the Four Tsing Yis, namely Jiujiang Tang, Li Bingbing, Gao Yuanyuan and Yao Dazui. This time they were famous enough, but no one paid much attention to them.
A name is something that becomes worthless if it is speculated too much.
Back in 1998, "Nan Ren, Bei Cao" was a buzzword, and everyone followed suit. Now, no matter what the Hong Kong media is doing, "Bei Cao, Nan Xie", mainland reporters are not willing to follow suit.
It's not interesting and readers don't like it.
Today is [North Cao Nan Xie], tomorrow it will be [North Cao Nan Wang], and the day after tomorrow it will be [Bei Cao Nan Tao].
Now Xiao Zhou's reputation in Taiwan Province has also increased. According to the urinary behavior of the Taiwanese media, it won't be long before [Bei Cao and Southern Zhou] will appear.
Anyway, it’s [Bei Cao] who is made of iron, and [Nan Mou] who is flowing water...
There are quite a lot of "talents" at Nortel's level 99 level.
"You are so coquettish" Hong Shixian, slapped Yao Dazui, Swordsman leader Du Chun, Huang Xiaolei and Yang Zhigang.
Yang Xue and Yang Rui, who have been confirmed in "The Golden Family" before, are also from Nortel's Grade 99 class, but Yang Xue is in a refresher course, with a semester of one year, and has already graduated.
At this stage, those in grade 99 have just entered their sophomore year, and there are not many acting roles. They are mainly studying and looking for opportunities. Most sophomores and juniors come to the cafeteria to show off.
The seniors in class 97 basically work in the group even if they don't have a role to play, and are rarely in school. The class 00 has just entered school for less than a year, and is still a newbie, and is relatively not that active in mind.
………
Every performance student in the cafeteria will first look at some people in the corner of the cafeteria who are obviously not students and do not look like teachers.
Most of the people here are assistant directors and talent scouts. If they still have cameras, they basically don't run away.
So I will try my best to get in front of these people. If I am brave enough, I will go directly to chat and leave my phone number.
Lao Zhang is a veteran in the circle. He claims to be a certain company's agent, but in fact he is a group leader + broker, specializing in introducing people to various production crews.
He also accepts roles for extras, special actors, sports models, resident singers, and other miscellaneous projects. As long as they can make money without breaking the law, he will accept them all.
Moreover, Lao Zhang ate both sides. After the crew finished eating, the actors also got some.
Thanks to the fact that the current market is not formal and the Internet information is not circulated, I can live a happy life.
Today, Lao Zhang took a job. A certain period costume crew needed a special type of dancer, the kind who would lead the dance at a banquet, which could be considered a small supporting role. There were two or three scenes. He asked for a beautiful and beautiful dancer, and the bid was 800.
At this price, Lao Zhang can eat both ends, at least he can get 200~300 yuan.
Originally he had some in stock, but unfortunately the director was dissatisfied after seeing the photos, saying they were lacking in aura, and he didn't like those from non-professional backgrounds, so he asked Lao Zhang to go to China Theater and Nortel to look for them, and the price was as high as 1,000.
As long as you pay enough agency fees, it doesn't matter if you act like a cow or a horse.
Lao Zhang took the camera and went straight to the Nortel cafeteria, intending to wait and see.
He has been to Nortel several times, and he doesn't know how to look at many of the old faces. He focuses on the new faces first, especially the pretty ones.
At the table next to him, there were two or three people watching and pointing at the students who were coming in one after another. Lao Zhang listened for a while and figured out which production crew they were from.
Adhering to the concept of always expanding his customer base, Lao Zhang handed over a business card and introduced himself with a smile.
"Dear directors, my name is Zhang Changgui. I am familiar with the Nortel area. If you need anything, you can contact me."
The younger man took the business card, and the two of them nodded to him, but had no intention of saying anything more. Lao Zhang saw it and left, but kept listening to the conversation quietly.
"Have you heard? Lao Sun reported to Dong Jie, but Mr. Cao rejected it."
"Dong Jie is quite suitable. Why doesn't Mr. Cao agree?"
"Director Liu is also optimistic about her, and she is a girl, so she has her own buzz."
"I heard that Mr. Cao doesn't like her."
"Why, isn't this girl pretty? According to Mr. Cao's temperament, shouldn't we have taken action earlier?"
"Don't talk nonsense, Xiao Li, you just came to the company and you don't know the inside story. Mr. Cao has a good reputation but not a good person. Look at our company's Gao Yuanyuan. She is such a big beauty. Mr. Cao rarely sees her."
"Brother Liu, what about Hu Jing? I went to the set of "Love Through Time" before and saw that Producer Ding and Director Chen were very polite to her and even a little afraid of her. What is she like?"
"Ahem...what did you just say? Mr. Cao doesn't like Dong Jie, right? It's probably because of Xie Feng. Didn't she play the role of Xie Feng's bride?"
"Mr. Cao really doesn't get along with Xie Feng?"
"I don't know. Anyway, the relationship is not good, but I heard Boss Ding said that he and Wang Fei have a good relationship."
"Brother Liu, is it because Mr. Cao is unhappy with Xie Feng because of Wang Fei...well..."
"Xiao Li, Brother Liu will teach you something. If you want to work in the company in the future, stop talking about the leadership."
"Yeah, brother, which hand did you cover my mouth with just now?"
"Right hand."
"Did you just go to the toilet and wash your hands?"
"……No."
"vomit!"
Several people were whispering, and Lao Zhang couldn't hear clearly even from the side. He only heard that there was someone who was always closely associated with the actress.
Bah, that sounds like he is not a good person!
Lao Zhang felt sour. In fact, in an industry like his, he could occasionally fool a few girls who wanted to be stars, but the girls were not stupid. Over time, they saw his bottom line and left directly.
And it can only fool those ordinary girls who don't know the ropes. In art colleges like China National Theater and Nortel, they know a few things before enrolling.
Given Lao Zhang's identity and the resources at his disposal, he could only spend two small sums of money on it. If he wanted to kiss Fangze, he could only dream about it at night.
Lao Zhang was just feeling like a lemon when he suddenly saw two girls coming in together.
She was dressed normally and had no make-up, so she was obviously a student who just came to eat.
Although the makeup is ordinary, the appearance is very impressive, especially the one on the left with fair skin and beautiful appearance, who looks pure and charming.
Lao Zhang has attended major art schools for many years, and just by looking at that girl walking, you can tell that she has a background in dancing.
Pan Liangtiao can dance!
Lao Zhang didn't hesitate and rushed over: "Student, are you interested in working part-time? I'm a special dancer, 500 yuan for two scenes."
Other students in the cafeteria were very excited when they saw someone intercepting someone, but when they heard that they were special actors for 500 yuan, they lost interest.
The girl who was stopped by Lao Zhang was a little moved. She was a freshman, and a part-time job worth several hundred yuan was still tempting to her, so she hesitated.
"I have drama rehearsals at school now, so I only have time on weekends."
Another girl next to her also helped to speak: "And your 500 yuan is too little. Normal special contracts cost thousands."
"Don't be anxious, let's talk slowly."
As soon as Lao Zhang saw the girl's interest, he knew it was done. All that was left was to negotiate the price and chat with the pretty girl.
What Lao Zhang didn't know was that while they were talking, the three people he had just chatted with also took a fancy to this girl.
"Brother Liu, is this okay? It looks very pure."
"The eyes are pretty too."
"The skin is good, and the height is good."
"The image is suitable. She is from a major. She is the best one I have met today. Let's talk to her first and arrange an audition."
Lao Zhang was about to show his sharp tongue in front of the beautiful woman when he was patted on the shoulder. When he looked back, he saw that it was the three of them just now. The leader, Brother Liu, smiled apologetically.
"Dude, I'm sorry."
After saying that, Brother Liu looked at the girl: "Our crew hasn't decided on the heroine yet. We want to invite you to come over and audition. Are you interested?"
Originally, the scene of cutting off the beard had already attracted the attention of many students in the cafeteria, but as soon as the word heroine came out, it immediately caused a stir.
In the 1970s, 1980s, and early 1990s, it was not new for heroines to come to school to find people. Many big stars were directly recruited from the school and became famous instantly.
By the late 1990s, with the rise of a large amount of private capital, the industry began to have the concept of contracted artists, and there were relatively few production crews that directly used students as female leads.
As for the early 21st century, this situation is already very rare. Those who come to the school to find people on their own are mostly minor supporting roles. If you want to get this role, you have to go to the group yourself or use connections.
Many students go to the cafeteria not to seek roles, but to find talent scouts to see if they can sign with a certain company.
Therefore, when Brother Liu mentioned the word heroine, everyone's first reaction was shock, and their second reaction was that they were liars.
The girl involved thought so too, and looked at Brother Liu with alert eyes.
Lao Zhang was displeased that someone was cutting off his name. Seeing that some of the people were unfamiliar, he thought it was a small company, so he didn't worry about offending him and just revealed the truth.
"Student, please be careful. I'm not here to tell you the truth. Just now I heard them say that their boss has an inappropriate lifestyle. He might be some kind of gangster who specializes in deceiving beautiful girls like you."
"How are you talking?"
Xiao Li was unhappy: "We are a regular company and a regular crew."
Brother Liu was not happy either, but seeing that the two girls looked wary, some of them even took out their mobile phones to call the police, he did not dare to neglect, so he hurriedly explained.
"Have you ever heard of Fanxing Entertainment? Our crew is "Golden Pink Family". This is the business card. You can call to verify."
As soon as Brother Liu said this, the Nortel students next to him immediately went crazy.
"Fanxing, which company is Cao Xuan?"
"The boss has a disorderly lifestyle, and he is Cao Xuan."
"The heroine of "The Golden Family" is played by Cao Xuan herself. She will definitely become popular after filming."
"Cao Xuan is so gorgeous, it's not very dangerous to film with him."
"Dangerous ass, I really want him to sleep with me. If he gets close to me, he will fly into the sky."
"..."
Everyone nearby was talking a lot, looking at the girl with envy and jealousy from time to time, but the person involved was also confused and stayed where he was, not knowing what to do.
As for Lao Zhang, I heard from Brother Liu that he immediately left after announcing his identity.
He is not afraid of small workshops. A regular film and television company like Fanxing can make him lose his food with just a few words.
I can’t afford to offend!
Brother Liu didn't bother to pay attention to him and took out two business cards and handed them to the girl.
"The phone number on this card is mine. This is our company's phone number. You can check it. If you want, you can give me a call and we can make an appointment and I will pick you up for the audition."
The girl nodded hurriedly and replied stupidly: "I understand."
Brother Liu was amused: "I don't know what your name is yet. I can report it when you get back."
