Chapter 3 That little thing in the entertainment industry
Ye Ming took the kettle and said to Li Dachuan: "Shut up, Xiaoqin, and go about your business. Don't be like this guy. We are waiting for Uncle Liang. He said there is an audition opportunity. We can't miss it."
, I’ll see you later when Uncle Liang comes.”
Xiaoqin grunted and spared Li Dachuan, glanced at Ye Ming and said, "Brother Ming, what are you doing if you don't give up? If you ask me, it's better to find a serious job and earn money down-to-earth.
"
Serious job?
It turns out that in the eyes of Xiaoqin, the waiter, this is not a serious job.
Li Dachuan was speechless for a while, and he suddenly felt decadent. He no longer wanted to argue with Xiaoqin to show off.
At half past seven, just before Li Dachuan was about to go crazy, Uncle Liang finally walked in with a short, fat middle-aged man. This middle-aged man had a bit of bald hair and a round head like a ball.
The person looks very kind and lovely.
Li Dachuan suddenly jumped up and ran over as if there was a spring on his butt, dragging Uncle Liang over.
As Li Dachuan walked away, he also said: "Uncle Liang, I've been looking forward to your coming. If you don't come, I will starve to death at this dinner table."
Uncle Liang couldn't do anything with Li Dachuan. Fortunately, Ye Ming stood up, took out the Chinese cigarette, and asked the guests to sit down at the host's seat, thus avoiding the awkward situation.
According to the rules of the amusement park, in terms of seniority, Ye Ming and Li Dachuan are the only ones who sit at the end of the table.
This is also a rule. There is no mistake about who you are and where you sit.
Once, a big star went to a banquet and was given the second seat. As a result, the big star didn't give him any face and left without looking back.
People can't afford to fall that low.
After Uncle Liang sat down, he hurriedly introduced: "Brother Chen, this is Ye Ming, and the one over there is Li Dachuan. They are two good juniors of mine. I ask you to take good care of you two in the future."
Listen carefully, Director Chen turns out to be from Emei Film Studio, he is a veteran and has a wide network of contacts in the circle. From now on, if Director Chen will look after you, you can call him Uncle Chen."
At this time, Chen Zheng waved his hand very politely and said: "Xiao Liang, please don't put a high hat on me. I'm not Director Chen. I'm just doing a favor to help Hunan TV. I'm just an executive director. I'm still a temporary one. At the end of the year
I will officially retire. After finishing this work, maybe I will go back. After all, the entertainment industry is still the world of young people like you."
Although Chen Zheng was very polite when he spoke, he still had a condescending air, and there was a sense of distance between him and Ye Ming.
Also, with someone like Chen Zheng, if Uncle Liang hadn't been his childhood friend and a good brother, he wouldn't even care to come here, let alone give Ye Ming and the others a chance.
No matter what, it's still Princess Princess and Qiong Yao. As long as it's labeled as Qiong Yao, it's like a layer of gold in the entertainment industry.
Ye Ming and Uncle Liang were accompanying Chen Zheng on the left and right. At this time, Ye Ming took advantage of Xiaoqin that the food and wine had not yet been served, and quietly stuffed a kraft paper envelope into Chen Zheng's pocket.
A thick five thousand yuan, real money.
Chen Zheng also touched his pocket with a very subtle movement. In an instant, people who were already familiar with this kind of transaction could easily guess how much it was.
At this moment, Chen Zheng's expression also softened. He no longer had the condescending attitude just now. Instead, he looked much more amiable, as if he were an elder, and he opened the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes with satisfaction.
Uncle Liang also struck while the iron was hot and said: "Brother Chen, you have put so much effort into the audition. You don't have to be polite to these two little guys. If there is anything wrong, you should be beaten and scolded if you should."
At this time, Chen Zhengcai gave Ye Ming a meaningful look and said: "Xiao Liang, you gave me a difficult problem, which made me embarrassed for a long time. However, Ye Ming, if I remember correctly, you should be from Xinghua Film and Television
Let’s sign an artist contract. Not long ago, we went to Hong Kong City for training for half a year.”
Ye Ming immediately said politely: "Uncle Chen, don't worry, Xinghua Film and Television was disbanded a few days ago, and I am free now.
Uncle Liang also quickly said: "Brother Chen, don't worry, I can guarantee this, Ye Ming is absolutely free. He is an actor without any contract."
Chen Zheng nodded as if he meant something and said: "I know this, otherwise I wouldn't come. Let's put it this way, this time Qiong Yao's drama, My Fair Princess, is one of Ms. Qiong Yao's two eternal series.
One is a TV series co-produced with Hunan TV.'
Originally, according to the rules of the crew, every actor had to sign a contract with Ms. Qiong Yao's agency.
However, because this is a TV series co-produced by both sides of the Taiwan Strait, if I give you this audition opportunity, you must sign a contract with Yonghua Film and Television. As the representative of investors, Yonghua Film and Television also has the right to recommend its own actors.
Otherwise, why should we recommend you?"
Ye Ming knows this very well. There is no free lunch in the world. If you don't sign a contract with others, why will they give you a chance? If you become famous, what opportunities will they get?
Ye Ming seemed to understand something vaguely at this moment, as if there was a line appearing. However, he could not grasp this line for a moment, and immediately said: "Uncle Chen, don't worry, I just want to find it."
It’s a company. However, Yonghua and Xinghua, there shouldn’t be any connection between these two companies.”
Chen Zheng looked at Ye Ming with a smile, nodded with great satisfaction and said: "Young man, you are smart. It is true. The boss of Yonghua Company, Huang Yonghua, is the enemy of your original boss of Xinghua Company, Huang Xinghua. You know me
Why did you agree to Xiaoliang? Do you think the opportunity to audition is so easy to get?
That is Qiong Yao's drama. Even though Qiong Yao's drama is not as popular as it was in previous years, no matter what, Ms. Qiong Yao's golden signature is still there, and others who are waiting for her will not have this opportunity.
However, I mentioned your matter to the boss, and as soon as the boss heard that you were from Xinghua, he immediately decided on you. He said that Huang Yonghua will definitely be able to praise people who Huang Xinghua cannot praise.
It's interesting that these two brothers are natural enemies. Neither one is convinced by the other. Otherwise, do you think it will be your turn to have such a good opportunity?"
The entertainment industry is cruel. Every day, there are so many people who dream of being successful and becoming famous overnight. However, there are only so many opportunities every year.
There are countless people who died in the group performance. Countless people were photographed on this beach, and they didn't even have the chance to go ashore.
Not to mention, there is a chance to touch the rookie wall.
Ye Ming is actually a relatively good group performer. At least, he can break out from the many extra performers and have the opportunity to touch the rookie wall.
If Xinghua Film and Television hadn't suddenly collapsed without warning, perhaps Ye Ming was trying to touch the wall of first-year rookies in the entertainment industry.
No matter what, this is more or less an opportunity, and it is a very rare opportunity.
Never mind Yonghua Xinghua brother Xiao Qiang.
Ye Ming said very firmly: "No matter what, I have to thank Uncle Chen for giving me this opportunity."
Chen Zheng saw that Ye Ming was unfazed by flattery and did not feel angry at all that he was being used. This young man gave him a very calm and mature feeling beyond his age.
Could this be the actor from Xinghua Film and Television who didn't even have a chance to touch the rookie wall? If so, Yonghua's investment may be promising.
At that moment, Chen Zheng said: "Well, now that you understand, I will give you an address and you can find Yonghua Film and Television. Then, of course, someone will receive you. Xiaoliang and Ye Ming have some acting experience, so
As an actor who has trained in Hong Kong City for half a year, the chance to perform in this Qiongyao drama is still very high. But, Li Dachuan, you should try it. If you can get a supporting role, then it is already considered a good one.
It worked."
Li Dachuan, in Chen Zheng's opinion, is still a bit unstable. An actor with such a character is not very suitable in a Qiong Yao drama.
However, this time, it may be an exception.
Even if Li Dachuan did not get the chance to play the leading role this time, he was still very happy at this time. Being able to audition and get the chance to play a supporting role was a big improvement for him.
Therefore, at this time, Li Dachuan did not feel the slightest bit depressed.
Xiaoqin served wine and food, and Li Dachuan very attentively replaced Xiaoqin and took on the role of waiter.
After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, everyone drank a lot, and naturally their feelings gradually developed.
Chen Zheng was a friend who talked to Uncle Liang about everything. After drinking a little wine, Chen Zheng became even more excited and said: "Xiao Liang, to be honest, in fact, this time the Qiong Yao drama is not good.
, to put it nicely, this is a co-production drama, but to put it bluntly, this is the child of a stepmother.
Do you know how much the investment in this drama is? Let me tell you, 1.5 million. This does not include the cost of post-production and publicity. In fact, what can be used for production is 1.2 million. I
Go, spend 1.2 million to film Qiong Yao's drama, don't make people laugh."
This is a big gossip, a super big gossip.
One and a half million, for Ye Ming and others, is a high-end figure, but for a TV series, especially for a more expensive costume drama like Qiong Yao's drama.
To be honest, it is indeed a bit stretched.
The director needs money, the costumes and props need money, and renting the venue needs money.
Money for post-production and publicity must be set aside in advance.
Therefore, if calculated in this way, it is conceivable how much money can fall on actors.
At this time, Ye Ming finally understood why Huanzhugege vigorously hired new actors. It was just two words: remuneration.
