In Donghua District...with direct investment from Huacang...a movie city was built here.

Covering an area of ​​nearly three million square meters, it is more like a city within a city and is an excellent location for filming movies.

But the rent is also frighteningly high... The daily rent in a good location alone is enough to discourage many directors.

…

If you want to build a complete team, it would be best to find professional talents in the film school.

It’s not the recruiting season yet... Chen Laogua and the others came here first because they were afraid that those famous directors would come and compete with them for their talents.

…

After communicating with the college leaders, they readily agreed when they learned that they were from Qiulan Film Company.

Department of Acting... Department of Photography... and Post-Production.

…

"Zhao Juan, 22 years old, majoring in makeup in the acting department...Okay, you're the one!"

Zhao Juan originally just wanted to try her luck, but she didn't expect to be selected on the spot... She suppressed her excitement.

This time, Chen Laogua and his team hired a total of six makeup artists, four professional photographers... and five post-production engineers.

The film team has taken shape.

The next step is to find actors.

…

Qiu Hong Agency.

Its predecessor was Tianying Limited Brokerage Company, but it was acquired by Qiu Enterprise and is now officially renamed Qiu Hong Brokerage Company.

…

"You guys wait here first..."

They said they were waiting, but Chen Laogua and the others ended up sitting in the reception room for half a day.

"What do they mean?"

Chen Laogua was the first to lose his patience...

Lin Fei didn't say anything, but his brows were tightly furrowed.

"Bear with it... Lao Chen, we are not famous, so it's normal to be ignored."

Chen Laogua was depressed and wanted to take out a cigarette to smoke, but in the end he didn't take it out and just kept sighing.

After waiting for almost two hours, someone finally came in. However, it was not the person who had received them before, but a girl who looked a little immature.

"Hello... Sister Luo said she's too busy right now. Is there anything you need? It's almost dark, so we can prepare a meal for you if you need it!"

The girl smiled warmly.

Chen Laogua was furious... Is this how you bully people? Letting a little brat fool us?

A hint of displeasure flashed across the depths of Lin Fei's eyes.

After waiting for so long, even the best saint would get a little angry.

"Is that so... Then please tell her for us that we won't bother Sister Luo anymore. As for the artists collecting the money, let's leave it to those famous directors. We can't afford them. Let's go."

Huacang's film industry had just started, and actors were a scarce profession. The famous artists under his command were naturally left to the big directors.

"Hey, what are you talking about? Sister Luo is not that kind of person. Didn't I bring someone to you?"

As they stood up, several people walked in from the door.

The leader was a man... They didn't know him, probably the agent of a third-tier actor... Then look at the artists under him.

One word to describe it.

Ordinary.

No matter if it’s a man or a woman…they look too ordinary, the kind that you can’t find in a crowd.

The first impression given is not good.

But Lao Chen doesn't care about that... He cares about these people's acting skills.

"Oh my God, what is that? A horrible monster..."

“Stop, stop, stop!”

When Chen Laoguazi's directorial attributes come out, he curses people without using a single dirty word.

"What role did you play? Did you really study acting?"

"I've learned it...what's wrong?"

This girl still looks innocent.

"Come on, come on... there's a reason you're just a bit player."

Chen Lao Guazi doesn't want to waste any more words on this kind of person who has no self-awareness at all.

…

After a round of scrutiny... no one's acting skills were up to par, and Chen Laoguazi really couldn't stand it anymore.

"Although your acting is terrible, there is still a role that is suitable for you."

"What role?"

"Zombies."

"What?"

Although most zombies can be created with post-production special effects, some real ones still need to be mixed in...

"Are you kidding me? I worked so hard to train this artist, and now you're telling me to play a zombie? Old Chen, I've heard of you. What's the matter? You've fallen to this point, and you still look down on others?"

Chang Yang was unhappy when he heard this and immediately mocked him.

"That's right."

The artists she brought with her also echoed her agreement.

"You really think you're a great director..."

"Hahaha……"

Chen Lao Guazi's face flushed red, and his hands trembled...

Seeing Old Chen like this, Lin Yang clenched his fist.

"Haha, you have no acting skills, no looks, and yet you're not qualified to mock others here. How ridiculous."

Lin Yang stood up after he finished speaking.

"Old Chen, let's go."

…

"Goodbye!"

Chang Yang waved his hand.

"A third-rate director and a third-rate screenwriter produced a mediocre film...it's incredible."

"Hahaha……"

…

In a small restaurant.

The two of them sat opposite each other, drinking wine, cracking melon seeds and chatting.

"You say people live their whole lives...how come they are looked down upon everywhere?"

There was a blush on Chen Laoguazi's face.

"Isn't your question nonsense? People, either live an ordinary life or become successful people, otherwise no one will look down on you."

"Hehe... being looked up to by ghosts... isn't bad."

…

the next day.

When the two of them got up and rushed to the door of Qiu Lan Film Company, his film crew had been waiting for a long time.

What surprised them was that Chen Lao Guazi and his team hadn't found any actors. How could they film without them?

If it weren't for Qiulan Pictures' credibility, they might even think they had walked into a den of thieves.

"Shall we still shoot?"

Chen Laoguazi looked very proud and high-spirited.

"Of course, why not?"

"If they don't give us actors, can't we find them ourselves?"

"Let's go!"

With a big wave of his hand, he got into the car specially provided for them by Qiulan Films, stepped on the accelerator, and drove away.

…

In five years, Huacang has built over 500 academies... spread across many cities in Huacang, covering a wide range of industries...

With its strict selection system and excellent school management system, Huacang's academy enjoys a high reputation in the Southeast Continent and has even attracted many talents from other kingdoms to come and study.

And Chen Laogua and the others are looking for actors...these top colleges are great places to recruit extras.

As for the protagonists... they can only find those talents who are still studying in film schools... Although this is very risky, after all, compared with those famous artists, these apprentices are obviously not as good as they used to be, but this is the only thing they can do.
