Chen Shi walked around here and found that there were countless handsome men and beautiful women in all kinds of strange clothes.
"There are so many extras here, how many can stand out?" Chen Shi sighed as he looked at the people coming and going.
Zhang Guosheng said: "It's very difficult, even harder than the chance of picking one out of ten thousand, so most people would rather spend money to take the trainee route, connect with companies, and have the opportunity to get ahead. After all, they can participate in various drafts, or compete with
Cooperate with some partners, be an opening guest or play a small role.
Generally, those who wait in line like this are basically passers-by. They may be passers-by for the rest of their lives. It's okay now, everyone is playing live broadcasts, but when they play live broadcasts individually and in studios, these groups of people are left to fight hard.
There is no market for people anymore. There was still some traffic in the early days, but the audience basically doesn’t want to live in a group performance anymore.
Many people here have chosen to continue going to school. Every year, people apply for various well-known art schools. At least going to school will give them a chance to appear in the mirror, just like Brother Bo and Brother Honglei, both are big
It's time to go to school again. After all, in a well-known college, your classmates, your mentors, and your network of contacts are no longer accessible to extra actors.
But now major colleges and universities are starting to get older. After all, this is an era where traffic is king. Director Geng also said that actors who have been systematically trained are more worry-free. Most of the people who become monks halfway have one or two outstanding ones.
But that's all about talent. If your condition is not good one day, it will be bad.
Most of those who have undergone systematic training are stable and have good skills. Now I have an acting teacher to give me one-on-one lessons every day. One class costs more than 3,000 yuan, and there are two classes a day. This cost is really not affordable for ordinary group actors.
However, our artists at Empty Bottle Media are actually very happy. The company provides acting teachers, vocal teachers and physical teachers for free. I heard that many actors here have applied for trainee places in our company.
.”
Chen Shi asked curiously: "Is our company so popular now? By the way, tell me, is there any difference between the systematic training and the performance based on your feelings before?"
Zhang Guosheng thought for a while and said: "There is a big difference. For example, when I first started acting, I acted based on my feelings. But sometimes when the emotions are gone, it is difficult to perform. But the acting teacher will tell us to use props to express our emotions, and also
There are body and facial expressions to express, pitchers and feet are all in play, and you also have to learn animal shapes, how old people walk, how children walk, how women walk, etc.
In short, it is enriching your acting. For example, when writing an essay, a teacher will tell you how to use rhetorical techniques and give you examples to show you when writing an essay. After you finish it, the teacher will help you comment on where you need to improve and apply it.
What rhetorical device would be better.”
Chen Shi understood as soon as he heard this. He looked at the nearby institution with the name "Performance Training" and said, "Aren't there many training classes here? Why should you sign up for our company?"
"The teachers in the training class here are also a group of veteran extras or some junior graduates from famous schools. If you want to compare with the group of people you are looking for, they are still far behind. Many of the people you are looking for are retired teachers.
You paid a lot of money for it, and it is difficult for training institutions to afford it. At most, it would be good to invite some teachers to come over for one or two lessons occasionally.
The main reason is that our company has a large platform. They know that our company will help interns run the business once or twice for free to see if you can come out. Moreover, as an intern in our company, you can participate in variety shows, film and television dramas, etc. on our company platform, so now there are many
Everyone sent in their resumes.
In the recent period, the news they heard from our crew has been spread like wildfire. Everyone is spreading it by word of mouth. That is, our company currently does not have a talent show, so..."
"Wait, you said the draft?"
"No, I mean to recruit trainees." Zhang Guosheng said.
"No, it's a talent show, a talent show for group performances, allowing the audience to vote. On our platform, I will come up with ten themes and let them record and upload them themselves to prevent cheating. Accounts registered with the same ID and ID card can only vote once.
Give me a work and let Geng Hao see whose work is better.
The top 100 people will be selected first, and then the second round of recording will be conducted. A theme will be created for them to shoot together to see who has the best ideas and performances. Thirty people will then be selected to advance to the national finals.
In the finals, Geng Hao will serve as a judge and several big-name directors will be invited. The top 30 will each have a chance to be on camera with three female, three male and three male roles. The top 20 will be given a photo opportunity with two male, two female and two female roles. The overall winner will get a chance to star.
The runner-up and second runner-up will also have the opportunity to play roles in many of our dramas. The top ten will have two filming opportunities, the top five will have three filming opportunities, and the top three will have six filming opportunities."
Zhang Guosheng looked at Chen Shi, he could come up with this idea, he is worthy of being a boss, he can find business opportunities anytime and anywhere.
"You go back to filming, I'll go to the hotel to arrange the project."
"Okay Brother Shitou, call me anytime if you need anything."
Chen Shi returned to the hotel and turned on his computer to discuss with his colleagues in the company. Currently, there is no program specifically for group members. Let's see if he can find the protagonist through the eyes of the group.
This gives all the members a chance to realize their dreams, and also allows all the viewers to see whether the members have acting skills and acting talents like those in Xingye's "The King of Comedy", or whether they are underappreciated or they really lack the firepower.
The name of the program is {I Want to Be on Camera}, which gives all those who have dreams a chance, an opportunity that does not require dirty deals and only relies on their strength.
Chen Shi also wanted to see what a fair game looked like. Anyway, he was not short of money, no matter who gave him red envelopes. From top to bottom, if anyone was found to have accepted bribes or cheated, everyone would supervise and report them.
A bonus of 10 million will be awarded.
Soon, Empty Bottle Media announced the project I Want to Be on Camera. The most exciting thing was the reward of 10 million for reporting whoever used the back door. This suddenly excited a group of people who felt that their talent was underappreciated.
The program team also made a note: If it is packaged by the team or company, please do not participate. If you find out later, you will be held legally responsible. This competition is only for individuals. If you are already in the company and have been tepid, you can sign up, but the prerequisite is that it cannot be run by a team. Everything
On my own, I will randomly broadcast live proposition performances to prevent cheating.
What this group of performers and some artists who feel like their talents are underappreciated are most afraid of is a shady talent show, backdoors, cheating in team operations, all of this has been cut off.
At that time, Sky Ping Media's APP had 200,000 registered users, many of whom were melon-eaters who actually signed up. The final count was only 30,000 people. Each of those 30,000 people had their work exposed once a day.
If you have the opportunity, you can invite your relatives and friends to cheer you, download and use the A empty bottle media APP.
This is what Chen Shi has in mind, asking players to help him attract new users. Although it is a bit disgraceful, Chen Shi also gave them a chance. One person can attract up to ten or twenty people.
People's likes and comments will never become a popular work.
A popular work must have thousands of comments and likes. If you ask a thousand people to register an account with their ID cards, they can only vote for you once with each ID. This cost is too high.
Even if you pass by luck, you will be punished if you find out that you are not strong enough in subsequent games.
If the starting point of a program is not profit-making, then it will lack topicality, entertainment and fairness. Public supervision is the most fair.
For example, in recent years, talent shows have frequently overturned, and the arrangement of the program team is not good. If everyone likes it, they really like it. Chen Shi walked on the streets of Hengdian at night, found a food stall, and ordered some barbecue.
Another idea came to my mind. Man, you really have to go out and walk around to find more strange things.
"Hey, Sister Jing? Arrange a group of people for me to come over and make a food show called Late Night Hengdian. The theme is to shoot the local night market street food, interview the group members, and let them tell their stories. Find a seasoned person.
The host came over to lead the team, interviewing who would give them a free meal, treat them to a drink, and give them a set of FP clothes and a ten-year membership redemption card for our Empty Bottle Media APP."
Chen Shi walked to a place with relatively few crowds and talked to Liu Jing. Liu Jing wrote it down and said: "Okay, I will organize the people in a moment and try to be at your side tomorrow, and then start shooting. It's still the same as before. Shoot first and adjust later."
?”
"Yes, first shoot directly according to this theme, and then look at the problems encountered during the shooting, then adjust and re-shoot, and put the best film effect on the platform for people to see, which can also increase the exposure of the platform.
There will always be people watching new programs, but I am afraid there will be no programs, thank you for your hard work."
"Hi! It's a shame to say this. I'll make arrangements right away."
Chen Shi hung up the phone and went back to eat barbecue. One person has to have a good barbecue here, and it costs around sixty or seventy. It's not expensive, and it's not cheap. Some extras cost only one or two hundred a day, but they don't happen every day.
Most of the work is done by renting a house and cooking and eating.
Anyone who can come here to eat after filming is either a star director or something, or an experienced actor with some acting experience. Those who can get paid five to six hundred for a scene, and those who can show their face can get paid one thousand eight hundred. Most of them are
There isn't a single shot.
A group of gray-faced people came over, ordered some barbecue, and ordered six bottles of white wine. It seemed that they wanted one bottle per person.
A man with a crew cut took a sip of white wine before the food was served and said: "Damn it, I almost fell to death today. I jumped from the third floor and jumped over. If you guys hadn't helped move the mat.
In the past, I might not be able to sit here and drink today. Don't argue with me tonight. I'll treat you."
"I said, second brother, don't be so arrogant. It's still the same AA system. It's like you haven't saved us. We are all martial arts. If you can help, just help. Maybe it will be gone one day. Leave some money and marry
You girl, just give birth to a baby and your life will be over."
Chen Shi listened to their chat and learned that these people were martial arts practitioners. There is no shortage of work in martial arts profession, but the risk factor is very high. Many Wuhan martial arts actors died in accidents on the set. The requirements of martial arts profession are quite high.
To be tall, you need to be good at skills, be able to perform some fancy moves and be brave.
It's not uncommon to jump from three floors. Some have to jump from six or seven floors. It all depends on the air mattress below. There are also cases where the crew cut man said that he jumped over in one go and was beyond the range of the air mattress.
That would be dangerous.
Not only do you jump off a building, you also have to be beaten, such as being beaten with sticks, having your chest broken with rocks, etc. It is easy to find a job in this industry, but everyone knows that it is difficult to get ahead in this industry, there are basically no performance opportunities, and the risks are high and the requirements are too high.
Gao, martial arts has become very popular in recent years, and several film crews are using the same martial arts.
For example, for couples classes, Hong family classes, Yuan Jia classes, etc., you have to make an appointment with them to see if there are any schedules. They not only provide martial arts instruction, but also design, such as the design of some props, the design of some actions, and some suitable for the camera.
Performance design.
"Boss, here's a small bowl of mutton soup." A man wearing a palace eunuch costume sat at the table and took out a small plastic bag from his pocket. There were two steamed buns in the plastic bag. Not all extras.
The crew are all in charge of food. Generally speaking, people who are in charge of food are usually responsible for lunch. After you finish filming, you will leave after eating.
"Brother, which crew are you from? Come and have a drink." The people from Wu Xing shouted to the man in the eunuch costume.
The man in eunuch costume waved his hand and said: "You can't drink, there is a night show tonight, thank you guys."
"Then stop drinking. It will be a big deal if you fail to perform this trick when you are drunk."
What the martial artists say is right. If you drink to film, the director will be very disgusted and go crazy with alcohol. Then you are finished. The whole Hengdian will not look for you to film, because you are not a big shot, and only big shots can enjoy it.
The treatment of drinking some wine while filming.
In the distance, a woman in professional attire came over and asked for a small portion of Chaos. She cried while eating. The martial arts warriors glanced at her and shook their heads. The man in eunuch costume looked at her and shook his head.
Shake his head.
Chen Shi picked up the wine glass and walked to the martial arts table and asked, "Brothers, what's going on?"
"Did you just come here?" A martial artist looked at Chen Shi and asked.
"Yeah, I just came here not long ago. I'm a script writer. I wanted to find a company to invest in and try my luck, but no one wanted it." Chen Shi said.
"Oh! Literary people are those who make a living by writing. But there is really no shortage here. There are screenwriters everywhere. Why not join our martial arts practice? At least you are guaranteed to have an income of 1,850,600 yuan a day. If you jump off the building, you will get 500, usually two
That’s it.” Xiao Pingtou Wuxing said.
"Second brother, please don't harm others. They can make a living with pens, so there is no need to take risks like ours. Young man, don't listen to him. My name is Liu Qiang. Just call me Lao Liu. They call me Brother Qiang." He is in his early forties.
Liu Qiang said to Chen Shi.
"Hello, Brother Qiang, it's our first time meeting. It's nothing. Everyone has opened this pack of cigarettes and smoked them. I don't smoke much. What's going on with that woman?" Chen Shi continued to ask, opening a pack of 95 Supreme.
I opened it and distributed it to the six people present.
