In the scene of a police interrogation room in a studio at the Changqing Film and Television Base in Quancheng, Zhang Ze, dressed in police uniform, looked at the criminal who was doing nothing in front of him and asked in a deep voice.
"Name."
"Zhang San."
"I asked for your real name."
"My real name is Zhang San. My father is uneducated and my two older brothers are practicing at home."
"gender."
“I’ve never been to Thailand.”
"I asked you about your gender. Don't give me any playful nonsense. This is the police station!"
"……male."
"Do you know why I arrested you?"
"I don't know, uncle policeman, I am an upright law-abiding citizen. I have always abided by the law and respected the old and the young. Are you mistaken?"
"I made a mistake. Don't you recognize the romantic Wenwen? Did you know that they were recording at the time and there were hotel surveillance cameras. You thought everything would be fine just by hiding from the elevator surveillance cameras. The parking lot has 360 degrees of blind spots."
"Damn, I said this bitch is so honest, she was tricked."
"You don't pay for whoring, and you pretend to be a police officer to extort money. Do you know what this crime is?"
"Whoring/prostitution, extortion and impersonating state agency staff."
"Hey, you know the law quite well."
"I often watch "Serious Case Group Six" and Mr. Luo's judicial popularization videos on the Internet."
"That's good. Our detention center also has similar videos. You can go in and review them carefully."
"..."
————
"Ka, it's over, let's take a rest."
Wang Qian behind the monitor shouted, and Zhang Ze immediately stood up, relaxed his muscles, and then smiled and said to the criminal actor who had just played against him.
"Brothers' acting is pretty good. Are you from a professional class, or are you practicing on your own?"
The criminal had a big face, a flat nose, a narrowed eyelid, and a funny smile. Hearing Zhang Ze greet him, he was a little flattered and replied.
"I went to an art school in Qin Province before, but it was not formal. I figured out most of it myself."
"Then you are quite suitable for this industry. Really, I just saw that your performance rhythm was quite good. Some professional actors can't do it."
These are Zhang Ze’s sincere words, and he is not guilty of deceiving a mere part-time actor.
The other party also understood this truth, and gave Zhang Ze a half-bow with gratitude, and then said with some regret: "I have been in the circle for several years. Brother Ze, you are the first big shot to praise me. I am really grateful."
Your affirmation."
Zhang Ze also worked hard at the bottom level, and he can roughly understand the actor's feelings.
The entertainment industry pursues the head effect, and most of the resources and resources belong to those who are popular. They eat meat and drink soup, their mouths are full of oil, and they enjoy the dividends of the high entertainment trend.
The third and fourth tier stars in the middle and lower reaches and those professional actors who are somewhat famous divide up the remaining resources of the big names.
Chew the bones, drink the soup, and if you're lucky, you'll get a piece of delicious minced meat. You won't get too fat, but you won't be hungry either.
As for the lowest-level extras and unknown actors, once the people in the upper, middle and even some lower reaches are taken in turn, there will be very little resources left for them.
To put it bluntly, let alone eating meat and drinking soup, the salty taste they feel when they lick the plate is not necessarily salt, it is probably the saliva left by others after licking it...
In such an extreme professional environment, the so-called dream of being a star or being an actor has long become a luxury.
Actors at the bottom level must either change careers or muddle along indifferently. They must remain motivated and actively hone their professional abilities.
Unattainable career prospects.
Family members’ incomprehension and resistance.
A precarious life.
The surrounding actors who have "fallen" are ridiculed and ridiculed.
Career hopes and setbacks again and again...
It is no exaggeration to say that the praise and affirmation from a senior actor like Zhang Ze, who is already considered a successful actor, is a huge encouragement to this actor who is gritting his teeth and pursuing his dreams.
If it weren't for this guy's good mental quality, it wouldn't be surprising if he burst into tears on the set.
"Don't think of me as a big shot. We are all colleagues. Today we are destined to be together. After work is over, I will invite you to a nearby restaurant for a drink so that we can exchange business experiences."
Zhang Ze was originally just giving a normal compliment, but now he was stunned by this buddy's excited expression, which reminded him of himself when he lived in a basement in the capital. The outgoing character of outsiders who loved making friends immediately began to show.
"That's great, no... How can I ask you to spend money? I should ask for it. I have to ask you for advice."
The actor didn't know how many times he had been flattered today. He was so surprised that he was speechless.
"Stop arguing. It's easy for me to earn money for this meal, but it's not easy for you. I have two more scenes in a while. You wait next to my assistant, the one in the blue down jacket, and we'll leave as soon as we get off work."
Zhang Ze settled the matter without any explanation, then suddenly remembered something, slapped his forehead and said.
"By the way, after we've been chatting for a while, I still haven't asked you what your name is?"
"Wang Dazhi."
………
At night, Fatty Chen Spicy Chicken Restaurant, a table in the corner of the aisle
Zhang Ze and Wang Dazhi were seated on opposite sides. Zhang Ze was scalding cups and bowls with boiling water to disinfect them while he and Wang Dazhi were popularizing science.
"The owner of this restaurant is from Zhaoshi. The Zhaoshi spicy chicken is very authentic. Director Zuo often brought us here to satisfy our cravings during the last filming of "Latent". His food is considered to be the most delicious in the base, and it is large and affordable."
Just as he was saying this, a tall, fat man brought a plate of spicy chicken to the table. He was the owner of the restaurant.
The boss and Zhang Ze looked very familiar. When he saw Zhang Ze, he greeted him cheerfully: "I heard my wife said that you are here, what are you filming this time?"
""Serious Case Group 4", I have just arrived a few days ago, so why don't I bring my little brother over to support you?"
"Be particular about it."
The fat boss gave a thumbs up, then glanced to the side, and said in a low voice: "I just collected a few fresh sheep guns and ox guns this morning, specially reserved for you old customers. If you don't, it will be considered as a gift."
,No charge."
"Ahem..."
Zhang Ze glanced at Wang Dazhi awkwardly and hesitated for two seconds before replying.
"There happens to be a colleague in the team who likes this stuff. You can stir-fry one for me later and I'll pack it up and take it away."
The fat boss understood, chatted for a few more words, and left. Wang Dazhi was embarrassed to speak just now, but now he asked curiously after the boss left.
"Isn't this a hotel? Why do you still do this thing...does it work?"
They are all men. After the initial awkwardness, Zhang Ze returned to normal and directly broke the news.
"It is said that the boss has a secret recipe passed down from his family. He knows how to prepare this stuff. Occasionally, he makes a few copies and gives them to regular customers to increase the popularity of the store.
I also received this treatment from Director Zuo. It’s hard to say how effective it is. Personally, I think it’s just psychological comfort, but it tastes really good. If you can eat this stuff, I’ll share some with you later.”
Wang Dazhi was not stupid, how could he win someone's love? He just found an excuse and started talking to Zhang Ze about other topics.
It is rare to have dinner with celebrities. Wang Dazhi cherishes this opportunity and hopes to get some useful advice from Zhang Ze that will help his career.
Zhang Ze was also very open-minded and told Wang Dazhi's questions a lot.
With Zhang Ze's current status, the resources and information channels at his disposal, many of them are currently beyond the reach of Wang Dazhi. He can sincerely give Wang Dazhi some insight, which will be of great benefit to Wang.
Wang Dazhi was really grateful for Zhang Ze's help, but he had nothing to offer in return, so he could only express his gratitude at the wine table by being more expressive and toasting with all his glasses.
In the end, Zhang Ze couldn't stand it anymore, fearing that he would get hurt from drinking, so he tried to persuade him to stop it.
Fortunately, Wang Dazhi has a good capacity for drinking. After drinking half a pound of 42% white wine, he is only slightly tipsy. Otherwise, today's dinner might have ended early.
Not long after, the two of them were chatting about the gossip about a nearby production crew the day before yesterday.
——The wife of a certain meat financier came to the door and brought seven or eight strong men to fight directly on the set. If the meat hadn't been able to run very fast, there would have been blood on the spot.
The two of them were chatting happily when a shout suddenly came from the guests at another table next to them.
"Boss, where is the TV remote control? What is this Shonan channel broadcasting? I want to watch the drama "Latent"."
As soon as the guest finished speaking, he received several echoes.
"That's right, that's right. I just wanted to say that if we Dongshan people don't watch our hometown TV station, why should we watch Xiangnan TV station?"
"Looking at Xiangnan Channel, it's okay. The key point is that if Xiangnan Channel is not good, "Latent" is better. Yesterday, in the scene where Cuiping killed Lu Qiaoshan, the good guy was shot down with one shot. That's so accurate."
"Hahaha, I have many colleagues. So many people watch "Latent"."
"Look what you said, this place, the film and television base, is all in this business. "Insidious" is so popular, why don't we learn from it?"
"Hey, "Latent" is not easy to learn, and it's useless even if you learn it. It doesn't have the production level of Shanhe. No matter how good the script is, it's just a waste."
"Brother, why are you so disappointed with these words? Shanhe is awesome, but other people are not useless either."
"whispering sound."
"Where's your mother? If you say that again, I'll slap you."
"How dare you try to slap me."
"Just try it."
"Brothers, please stop making trouble and give me face. Let's drink, eat, and watch TV series. Son, please take the remote control and tune in Dongshan TV's "Latent"."
A small storm was resolved smoothly with the comfort of the fat boss, and Yu Zecheng's voice soon came from the TV in the hotel lobby.
Zhang Ze and Zhang Ze had been watching a show just now. It was not until now that everything was calm, and Wang Dazhi looked at Zhang Ze with envy.
""Latent" is so popular now. Brother, your reputation has increased a lot."
Zhang Ze is very modest: "The TV series is very popular and all the protagonists are so popular. I am just a minor supporting actor and I don't get much glory."
"Who said that? I think your performance as Xie Ruolin is quite popular. The line 'Here are two gold bars, can you tell me which one is noble and which one is dirty' was on the air two days ago.
Understand the hot search list.
Many people say that your character is a very unique character in "Insidious", and your charm and brilliance are not inferior to those of the leading actors."
Wang Dazhi's words scratched Zhang Ze's itch.
As one of the few active celebrities on Quora, he is certainly aware of the hot search questions related to Xie Ruolin on Quora. He even opened a small account to write an answer and talked about his thoughts on the character of Xie Ruolin.
After all, Zhang Ze is the actor who plays the role of Xie Ruolin. He has worked hard to study it, and his understanding of this character is even better than that of the screenwriter.
He personally analyzed Xie Ruolin and soon became one of the top five highly praised answers to this question.
So much so that Zhang Ze regretted why he didn't answer the question and wasted an opportunity to gain followers.
………
The role of Xie Ruolin in "Latent" is very interesting. After his appearance, he was highly praised by many viewers.
Netizens who had time to spare also sorted out Dai Ruolin's lines in the play and created a "Collection of Golden Phrases" just like Webmaster Wu.
The two gold bars mentioned above are considered the most famous among them. Others include——
[When there is peace in the future, there will be no faith, only money]
[As long as you can’t kill me with one shot, I’ll survive and I can still do business with you, as long as the price is fair]
[Every word is doctrine, but all heart is business]
【…………】
You can't say his words are wrong, but you can't take them as a guide either.
This person thinks he is smart and is the only sober observer in troubled times. He keeps talking about one thing, but in fact, after careful analysis, he is just a faggot.
He was also bold and stupid, thinking that everyone was just as mercenary as himself, so he ended up with a miserable end.
The reason why Xie Ruolin is praised by some people in the real society is essentially because he is a refined egoist, and the values of both parties are innately aligned, so they naturally want to help Xie Ruolin wave the flag.
But in fact, not to mention compared with the martyrs of faith like Yu Zecheng and Li Ya, even Xie Ruolin, who is also an egoist comrade like Station Master Wu, is quite different.
At least Lao Wu once had faith. Although his thoughts changed later, he still respected those who believed.
Not to mention when it comes to making money, the two of them are not at the same level at all. Lao Wu made a lot of money safely, and his escape route was well arranged.
Xie Ruolin, on the other hand, was careless and sold information without any hesitation. He had no protection for himself, but he dared to engage in life-threatening business. Even if he didn't have Yu Zecheng, he would eventually die if he encountered other tough opponents.
There is no doubt that Xie Ruolin was absolutely non-praising in the shaping of the plot of "Latent", but because of some of his fallacies, he accidentally became some people's "life mentor".
Zhang Ze is helpless about this, but at the same time he must admit that it is precisely because of the controversy brought about by this role that it has brought him a lot of popularity.
After coming to Shanhe for many years, he finally put aside his reputation as a "police professional" and created a new masterpiece and a deeply rooted role, which can be regarded as opening up a new path for his career.
"Brother, work hard and hold on. Our abilities lie here, and there will always be someone noble who can see us and pull us out of the quagmire."
Zhang Ze raised his glass and touched it with Wang Dazhi, and said something serious. He didn't know whether he was trying to persuade Wang Dazhi or to encourage himself, who was gradually coming forward.
Wang Dazhi was very moved. Although Zhang Ze's words were very similar to chicken soup for the soul, sometimes people need this kind of chicken soup for the soul to cheer up their spirits.
He drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and said with great enthusiasm.
"Brother, give me three years, no, two years. After two years, we two brothers will film together side by side. By then, I will no longer be a bit player. I won't be the first and second actor, but I will also be the leading actor."
"Good brother, I believe in you."
"No more words, brother, let's go to the pedicure shop next to the base to wash our feet later. My brother is treating me."
"No, no, the company has regulations, and your sister-in-law's inspections are very strict. I can't do anything to disgrace her."
"Brother, where did you want to go? Regular pedicure."
