Chapter 1 Chapter 1 The little transparent in the entertainment circle
In June, the crew of "Little Rich Family" had been filming for three and a half months.
If nothing goes wrong, the crew will wrap up filming in about another month.
Wen Yu is a little-known actor outside the 18th-tier cities, playing the background friend of the young male protagonist in this period drama set in the 1990s.
When a group of people appear together, he will appear.
Occasionally there are one or two lines, and the biggest manifestation of acting skills is that when the protagonist laughs, the supporting actors laugh along with him; when the protagonist is curious, they become curious along with him.
In summary, a group of background boards with expressions.
"Hey, Wenyu, you're on the trending search."
Assistant actor director Sun Xifei came back from a busy day and found Wen Yu among a group of extras waiting for their performances.
The person who was concentrating on watching a well-known film blogger's film analysis looked up, his eyes were blank for a moment, and he subconsciously replied "What".
Sun Xifei sat down next to him and said, "Are you watching people pulling movies again? You really can't get tired of watching them. What can you see? Come on, take a look at this. You're on the hot search."
The phone was stuffed into Wenyu's hand, and on it was a blurry photo that he didn't know if it was taken by a marketing account or a proxy photographer.
Reuters of the young male lead of "Little Rich Family".
He just became a hot topic just because of his handsomeness.
Wen Yu took a second look and finally saw himself. Not far behind the male protagonist, half of his face was exposed. It was unclear who he was talking to. He turned his head and the expression on his face froze in a strange moment.
You can't tell he's an actor, and more people would believe he's a stagehand.
【Weng Zimo is so handsome that he is not on the same level as others. Standing with the guy behind him, he vividly explains what a handsome guy and a man are.】
The unknown people outside the 18th line are just passers-by who no one pays attention to when they appear on the hot searches.
Wen Yu threw the phone into Sun Xifei's hand and took out his own phone.
Search for pictures and save them beautifully.
Not bad, not bad, it got on the hot search, even though it is useless, but it is still a hot search, right?
"Okay, okay, my career in the entertainment industry has taken a big leap forward, and from now on I've also been on the trending searches."
Sun Xifei was very happy to see him being photographed in such a horrible state and used as a control group, and he thought that this kid really was a naive and happy puppy.
We have known each other for three years, and everything is the same as when we first met.
Wen Yu didn't know what the person in front of him thought of him, otherwise he would definitely not agree.
He was just trying to have fun in misery, what else could he do?
Yelling, crying and making a fuss will not solve anything. It will only make people think that you have encountered a psychopath.
"How many scenes do you have left? How many days will it take to shoot? Two days or three days?"
Sun Xifei is one of the several assistant directors of actors in the crew. Small roles like Wen Yu, as well as some special roles and extras, were all promoted to the crew by him.
I can only say that there are some small rights, but not much.
Wen Yu and Sun Xifei have a good relationship. Sun Xifei always jokes that he is half his agent, and he got the job in this crew with the recommendation of Sun Xifei.
"There are three more scenes, spread over two days."
This is what happens to unknown actors. They may perform one scene every few days, or two scenes a day, one at five in the morning and one at eight in the evening.
But Wenyu is not picky, as long as there is a role to play.
Sun Xifei remembered something and asked, "Did Mr. Qi add your contact information and say he had a suitable role for you? Did he contact you later? What are you staring at? As a free-range human, you can't bite anyone casually, don't you understand?"
His eyes followed and looked over.
Not far away.
The crew's filming was paused, the on-site workers were busy, and the actors waiting for their scenes were either resting or playing with their phones.
I saw an old man in his sixties or seventies talking to a girl in her twenties.
The two parties were some distance apart, so Wen Yu and his friends couldn't hear clearly the conversation between the two people, but they could see their body movements clearly.
The old man had no sense of boundaries. While talking, he kept moving closer to the girl and even reached out to pull her arm.
Wen Yu felt so disgusted when he saw this scene that he almost vomited.
Such a shameless old man at such an old age, bah!
Sun Xifei held him down and said, "Don't be impulsive. You can only beat him up. After that, you're done. He will be in pain for two days and continue to be a veteran artist in this circle. Think about the last person who offended him. Although he was not famous, he was at least a fourth or fifth-tier actor. He spread rumors that he molested actresses on the set, and his career was ruined. Until now, there is no trace of this person in the circle."
There are many people who dislike Yi Dezhi, but who dares to offend him?
This man has been in the industry since his 20s and is now nearly 70 years old. He has been working in this industry for nearly 50 years. He has excellent acting skills and good reputation. The outside world has always had a good reputation for him. Not to mention that a little-known person like Wen Yu would stand up for him if he faced him.
Even if several young leading actors in the crew were to compete against him, they might not be able to gain the upper hand.
The identity of an old senior is enough to defeat more than half of the young people in public opinion.
"So we're just going to watch?"
Wen Yu was so angry that his teeth were itching.
Sun Xifei held him tightly. He was a strong man weighing nearly 200 pounds. If he didn't let go, Wen Yu would definitely not be able to break free.
He reached out and covered Wen Yu's eyes: "Okay, you can't see now."
Wen Yu: “…”
Sun Xifei lowered his voice and said quickly beside his ear: "Look at the others, they all saw it but pretended not to see it, just bear with it."
Before Wen Yu could say anything else, Ling Fei's agent quickly ran over from not far away, said a few words to the man with a smile, and finally took his female artist away.
Sun Xifei then let him go: "Let's go and have a cigarette."
Wen Yu retracted his gaze and glared at him: "I don't know how to smoke."
Sun Xifei ignored his refusal and pulled him away: "Then let's go to the toilet together."
Wen Yu had no choice but to be dragged away.
After listening to Sun Xifei's rambling for a long time, Wen Yu suddenly gritted his teeth and blurted out, "I still want to drag this old pervert into the alley and put a sack on him."
Sun Xifei was washing his hands. Halfway through, he stopped and raised his head.
"You haven't forgotten yet?"
Wen Yu nodded vigorously.
As the time for wrapping up got closer, the old pervert Yi Dezhi's tricks of taking advantage of others became more and more excessive, and he really couldn't stand it anymore.
"If I don't beat him up, it won't be enough to appease the public anger. At most, I will quit after I beat him up, go home and become a second-generation nouveau riche, and eat my dad's money! Coincidentally, it became a hot search today, which put a perfect end to my three-year acting career."
He really thinks it's boring. There are so many serious and hardworking people in the circle who may not even get a job.
Such a lecherous old man has managed to become a senior with both moral integrity and artistic talent.
Sun Xifei paused for a few seconds, then washed his hands twice, turned off the faucet, and kicked him: "Get lost, you are a nouveau riche, and you still come out to work like a beast of burden. I can't be friends with people like you."
The two have known each other for three years. Sun Xifei knows that Wen Yu is from Province Z and has only a father at home. His biological mother died of illness a few years ago.
His family seemed to be from the countryside, and he had heard Wenyu mention that his family raised sheep.
The nouveau riche also raises sheep. If you say that his family lives on a prairie thousands of miles away from Province Z, he might still believe that his family is a nouveau riche.
After kicking the man, Sun Xi flew over, put his arm around Wen Yu's shoulder and walked forward, ready to advise this little brother a few more words. There are bad people everywhere in this world, and if you want to be a hero, you can't get yourself involved.
"Don't rub the black powder off my face, I still need to take pictures later!"
Wen Yu bent down and hid.
Before he could say anything, he saw Yi Dezhi coming to use the toilet.
Sun Xifei withdrew his hand and called out "Teacher Yi". There was no young and pretty girl standing in front of Yi Dezhi, so his behavior was quite normal.
Even a bit approachable and easy to get along with.
When he saw Wen Yu, he praised him, "Wen Yu was on the hot search list with Xiao Weng today, haha, it's just that the photo was not taken well, don't be discouraged, you young people, you are good-looking and hardworking, sooner or later you will have the opportunity to become famous."
Wen Yu's eyes were full of sparks. The more he looked at this old man, the more disgusting he felt. He even thought of the color of the sack.
Just red, let him know why the flowers are so red!
Sun Xifei immediately responded: "Thank you, Mr. Yi, for your kind words. If Wenyu can become popular, I will also benefit from it."
After both sides walked away, Sun Xifei patted Wen Yu on the back.
"Think positively. There are too many injustices in the world that you can't handle. Even if this kind of person is sent to the police station with solid evidence, they can't be detained for a week. At most they will be fined a few hundred yuan. Beating him up is useless. This kind of person won't learn a lesson, otherwise someone would have taken action long ago."
Wen Yu was still upset when he heard this: "Then we can only hope that God will take him away?"
Sun Xifei nodded vigorously: "It's only a matter of time. Let's go, it will be your turn to start filming soon."
Before leaving, Wen Yu looked back again.
This is really disgusting. Is there really no way to deal with such people?
…
Nine o'clock in the evening.
Wen Yu finished work and took out his phone to check. There were no missed calls, only a few WeChat messages.
One of them came from the new person I met, Teacher Qi.
[Wenyu, have you finished filming? The role I told you about before has some clues. We are having dinner right now. If you have time, come and have a look.]
The message time was just a few minutes ago.
Wen Yu thought about it and decided to go and take a look. This was definitely an opportunity.
Although he doesn't like to talk about things at so-called dinner or drinking parties, this kind of thing is actually quite common in this circle. Everyone eats, drinks, and then talks about work and expands their network.
When drunk, they may brag and talk nonsense, but there is nothing dirty about it.
At least Wen Yu has never encountered it.
If it happens in private and both of you are willing, he won't know about it and can't interfere.
He went to tell Sun Xifei, but Sun Xifei had not finished his work yet and could not go with him.
"Be careful and drink as little as possible. If this isn't a serious drinking party, run away immediately. Got it?"
People at his level are beyond the reach of real big crews, and the opportunities that can be given to Wen Yu are also limited.
Wen Yu has been in the circle for three years and is not a newbie in the entertainment industry. He knows a little bit about the tricks. He agreed and took a taxi.
Teacher Qi was a slightly plump man in his thirties. He wore glasses and had a very cheerful smile.
After entering the box, he pulled Wen Yu aside to introduce them to this investor, that screenwriter. After going around in circles, Wen Yu's ability to remember people was average, and he basically remembered none of them.
But he has gotten used to it. He was not born with a pro max+ brain, and he doesn't expect it to suddenly become smart one day.
After three rounds of drinks, Teacher Qi started to exert his strength and pushed Wen Yu to toast people.
"Xiao Wen, the people coming tonight are big-name investors in the industry. You must perform well, otherwise you will miss this opportunity forever!"
"Do you know how many people in this circle are trying to climb up every day? Those people are willing to do anything, just to let you drink a glass of wine, why can't you do it?"
“Think about your future!”
Wen Yu: “…”
But go to hell!
He is such a pessimist. He just said he had never encountered that kind of drinking party, but now he has encountered one.
If I had known this earlier, he wouldn't have come even if I gave him money. What bad luck.
He came to the entertainment industry to be an actor because he thought the profession was interesting, not to sell his body to make money. His family had nothing but some gold bars dug out from his ancestral grave.
200 kilograms.
Enough for him to eat for three lifetimes.
