Hengdian World Studios is located in Hengdian Town, Zhejiang Province, my country. It is the only "national-level film and television industry experimental zone" in my country. It is called "China's Hollywood" by the US magazine "Hollywood" and is also the world's largest film and television shooting base.

Every year, a large number of film crews come to Hengdian World Studios to shoot. According to statistics, at least 200,000 actors come here to play supporting roles in search of opportunities.

Chen Zhiqiang is one of the more than 200,000 extras.

Chen Zhiqiang was born in an ordinary rural family. After graduating from high school, he came to Hengdian Film and Television City with his dream of becoming an extra.

The reason why he chose to be a migrant worker in Hengdian instead of in Beijing is that Hengdian is the place with the lowest threshold for being an extra or an actor. As long as you are over 18 years old, with a height of 160+cm for men and 155+cm for women, you can get an actor's certificate and join the guild here, and then be an extra or an extra through the guild's channels and platforms.

Such a low threshold is indeed very friendly to those who are not professionally trained but have dreams of becoming actors or stars.

However, precisely because the threshold for becoming an extra in Hengdian is extremely low, with more than 200,000 extras living here, roles are in short supply, and one can imagine how fierce the competition is.

After becoming an extra, Chen Zhiqiang would gather with other extras in front of the Hengpiao Hotel at 4 a.m. every day before dawn, waiting for the group leader to come and select people.

If you are chosen, congratulations, you have a box lunch for today. If you are not chosen, you have to continue to curl up in the cold wind and wait for the next group leader to come and choose someone.

Many roles in the crew will be given to the group leader.

In order to get a role, extras try their best to use all their talents, and many even choose to take "shortcuts".

For example, some actresses would behave intimately with the group leader to get close to him. They would sell their dignity and body in order to get a small role with a few seconds of screen time.

However, the extras usually only play passers-by in one or two large scenes, or cannon fodder on the battlefield. They don't need to wear makeup or show their faces. The only thing they can do is wait, spend a day waiting for these few seconds of footage.

Some people say that Hengdian is the starting point for pursuing dreams in the entertainment industry and is also a paradise for lazy people.

After all, the income of extras is really too low. The worst thing is that this meager income is unstable and it is difficult to even support themselves.

Without fear of being laughed at, Chen Zhiqiang himself couldn't count how many times he had asked his parents for money in the past few years that he had been working in Hengdian.

Such a meager and unstable income can still attract so many young people to compete. There is only one main reason, that is, they all want to become the second "Wang Baoqiang" or "Zhao Liying".

This was Chen Zhiqiang’s first year as an extra. He was full of confidence in his acting career and felt that as long as he worked hard enough, he would sooner or later become the second “Brother Qiang”.

But after working hard for a year, Chen Zhiqiang finally lost his initial confidence. At this time, his goal was no longer to become the second "Brother Qiang", but to become a role actor.

In Hengdian, actors are mainly classified into the following levels: extras, foreground actors, special actors, type actors, and role actors.

Being able to become a role actor makes you a big winner among more than 200,000 extras.

However, another year passed, and Chen Zhiqiang once again lowered his requirements. He no longer asked to become a role actor, but only wanted to be a special actor.

Unfortunately, even a special actor is one in a hundred.

Chen Zhiqiang is still far from this level. He has been in Hengdian Film and Television City for several years, but he is still just an extra. He can't even be a prospect actor, let alone a special actor.

In fact, in the last two years, Chen Zhiqiang already knew that he was not suitable for this line of work, but he was too persistent. Besides, he had spent so much time here that if he left in disgrace, he would feel a little sorry for his parents' financial support for him over the years.

Therefore, Chen Zhiqiang is just holding on here, hoping that one day his luck will turn and he will be noticed by a big director, then he will soar to fame.

Well, at this point, Chen Zhiqiang could only hypnotize himself, otherwise he really couldn't stand it here.

On this day, Chen Zhiqiang, who had not received any acting jobs, finished watching the latest episode of If You Are the One. He suddenly felt an urge to sign up for If You Are the One.

Firstly, he can find a suitable partner on the stage of If You Are the One. Secondly, being on the stage of If You Are the One will give him exposure a thousand or ten thousand times greater than his six-year career as a supporting actor.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhiqiang couldn't help it any longer and immediately checked the registration channels.

…

Jiang Feng got up before seven o'clock, had breakfast with his wife, and then took a walk for an hour before arriving at the Happy Marriage Agency.

After Jiang Feng became the famous Master Jiang, Xingfu Marriage Agency had no shortage of clients. Now, with "If You Are the One" regaining the ratings championship, the reputation of Xingfu Marriage Agency has risen again, and more and more clients are coming to the agency because of its reputation.

As a result, Jiang Feng has been unusually busy these days, as many clients need him to come out and receive them.

In addition, Jiang Feng also has to match each client with a suitable partner and print out the matching information for the matchmaker at the matchmaking agency to use.

At noon, Jiang Feng rushed back to the Xipai Yujiang mansion to have dinner with his wife, sister and others. He took a nap with his wife before returning to the matchmaking agency to continue working.

Jiang Feng worked until five in the afternoon, then he stretched, sorted out the customer information, and prepared to go back to have dinner with his wife.

At this moment, his cell phone on the table suddenly rang.

Jiang Feng took a quick glance and found that the location of this strange number was Zhonghai, so he picked up the phone and answered it, saying hello: "Hello!"

A male voice came from the phone: "Hello, Master Jiang. My name is Qin Siyu, and I'm from Zhonghai. My ex-wife and I just arrived in the capital of Guangxi Province. I would like to invite you to dinner to discuss asking you to help me with matchmaking. Is that convenient?"

Although Jiang Feng wanted to go back to have dinner with his wife, a client came all the way from Zhonghai to invite him to dinner, so he was embarrassed to refuse, so he agreed: "Of course it's convenient, I wonder where you are now, Mr. Qin?"

While talking, Jiang Feng felt a little strange. She came with her ex-wife to ask him to be a matchmaker? This was the first time he saw such an operation.

Qin Siyu said: "I am at the Nanning Hotel now. Master Jiang, please come over."

Jiang Feng said: "No problem, I'll be there in about fifteen minutes."

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. See you later!"

"Yeah, see you later!"

…

Fifteen minutes later.

In the private room of the Minzu Restaurant of Nanning Hotel, Jiang Feng met Qin Siyu and Xu Xueling.

The first time he saw the divorced couple, Jiang Feng knew that they were not short of money.

The man was wearing a well-tailored wool suit. Jiang Feng could tell that the suit was probably tailor-made for him by a top designer, using the highest quality fabrics. The delicate texture and elegant colors added to his noble aura.

He paired a silk scarf over his suit; its delicate pattern and soft texture showed his attention to detail and pursuit of texture.

The trousers were made of high-quality wool blended fabric, and the perfect cut made his legs look longer.

Under his feet is a pair of fashionable and luxurious leather shoes, designed and produced by a world-renowned brand. The upper is made of high-quality leather, and the delicate texture and gorgeous details show his pursuit of quality and exquisite craftsmanship. The design of this pair of leather shoes is unique and classic, which makes his overall look more perfect.

In addition, he wore an exquisite and expensive Swiss watch on his left wrist. The strap was inlaid with precious diamonds, sparkling with dazzling light.

The woman is not simple either. She wears a well-designed long wool coat, which is made of top-quality fabrics and is soft and warm. The coat is cut smoothly, showing off her graceful figure. She chose a classic neutral tone, such as dark blue or dark gray, to highlight her noble temperament.

The details of the coat are also carefully considered, such as delicate buttons and hand-sewn details, highlighting her pursuit of quality and craftsmanship.

She wore a pair of slim high-waisted pants, the design of which not only showed her fashion taste, but also highlighted her slender legs. The dark style complemented the coat.

She is wearing a pair of exquisite and noble pointed high heels, which are made of high-grade leather, with delicate texture and exquisite details showing her elegant demeanor. The height of the heels is moderate, which can increase her height without affecting her walking comfort.

In addition, she also wore a gorgeous jewelry necklace on her neck, inlaid with precious gems and diamonds, exuding charming light. A pair of small diamond earrings, shimmering with light, embellished her ears and added highlights to her overall look.

In addition, she also wore an exquisite watch on her right wrist, which was a limited edition from a famous brand. She was carrying a designer handbag, which was made of soft leather and simple lines, showing her noble taste and elegance.

Jiang Feng secretly estimated that the items on the divorced couple were worth at least several hundred dabuluo.

While Jiang Feng was looking at Qin Siyu and Xu Xueling calmly, the two of them were also secretly looking at the famous Master Jiang in front of them.

Master Jiang's dress is quite ordinary, but he is not only handsome, but also has an invisible temperament, just like those old men with immortal demeanor, making people dare not look down on him.

After some pleasantries, Qin Siyu asked the waiter to serve the food.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Qin Siyu finally spoke: "Master Jiang, your ability to predict marriages is world-famous. My ex-wife and I came to you to ask you to help us find a suitable partner. I wonder if it's possible?"

Jiang Feng said: "Of course, then please introduce yourselves first!"

Qin Siyu nodded, looked at Xu Xueling and said, "Will you go first or should I go first?"

Xu Xueling said: "I'm not in a hurry, you come first!"

Qin Siyu hummed, and then briefly introduced himself: "I am 32 years old, 1.77 meters tall, and graduated from a 985 university. My father is the chairman of XX Group, and I am the only child in the family, which is what others call a rich second generation."

After Qin Siyu finished his introduction, Xu Xueling introduced herself briefly according to his template: "I am 31 years old, 1.64 meters tall, graduated from a 985 university, my father is the chairman of XX Group, and I am the only daughter in the family, which is what others call a white, rich and beautiful woman."

In fact, Jiang Feng had already checked the matching information of this divorced couple when they just started eating, and he could be said to know them better than they knew themselves.

After the two of them had briefly introduced themselves, Jiang Feng asked, "What are your requirements for your significant other?"

Qin Siyu said: "As for the requirements, all you need to do is to like it yourself and your family. I believe that with your ability to predict marriages, Master Jiang, this can be easily done."

Xu Xueling emphasized: "The most important thing is that we like each other and can live a good life together."

Jiang Feng nodded and asked again: "Then let me ask one last question. Do you have any requirements for your significant other's family background?"

Xu Xueling shook her head and said, "I don't have any requirements for my partner's family background. Anyway, I will never be short of money in my life. As long as the person is good, it's fine."

Qin Siyu said: "It's the same for me. I don't care whether we are a good match or not. I only care whether the other person is someone I like."

Jiang Feng said, "Okay, I understand. Let's add each other on WeChat. Send me your name and date of birth, and I'll help you calculate it later. If you're not in a hurry to go back, you can stay and play for two days. I'll try my best to help you find a suitable partner within these two days."

Xu Xueling smiled and said, "Since Master Jiang said so, I will stay for two days. It happens to be my first time in Nanning, so it would be nice to experience the local customs and practices here."

Qin Siyu took out his phone and said, "Then I'll add your WeChat first."

Jiang Feng also took out his mobile phone and added the divorced couple’s WeChat accounts.

After Qin Siyu gave Master Jiang his name and birth date, he picked up the gift placed beside him and handed it to Master Jiang, saying, "Master Jiang, this is a small gift I prepared specially for you. Please accept it. I'm troubling you with my marriage!"

In the past two years, Jiang Feng has received too many gifts. It is no exaggeration to say that he can now tell the approximate price of a gift at a glance.

The total value of the gifts Qin Siyu handed over was no less than 500,000, especially the bottle of wine, which was worth more than 300,000, which was definitely a collector's item.

Jiang Feng did not refuse, he took it directly and said: "Mr. Qin, you don't have to be polite, this is my job."

Seeing this, Xu Xueling handed the gift she had carefully prepared to Master Jiang, and also spoke politely.

Jiang Feng took a look and saw that the total value was over 500,000. He did not refuse and took it readily.
