Yang Dongxu came to Hengdian to embolden Liu Zongsheng.
Because in addition to the actual investment of funds, Heiner used his influence to bring in the crew and even the Hollywood crew. These are resources and can be converted into profits.
In this regard, Liu Zongsheng's negotiations are undoubtedly weaker, so he can only ask the big boss Yang Dongxu to come forward.
As soon as Yang Dongxu came forward, Haina, who was originally weak, became strong again. In addition, Yang Dongxu could decide the matter. Now, even if there are rules and regulations, he can go to the radio and television father to discuss the solution in person. It's a lot of money to get in and out.
The most indispensable thing when walking on the streets of Hengdian is all kinds of handsome men and beauties, especially when some scenes require group performances. When the leader of the group waves, the real men and women rush forward, making it look like a supermarket has just opened. At that time, I was like the uncle and aunt who received free eggs.
"Can all people really be famous?" Wu Sheng couldn't help but ask as he looked at such a surging scene, especially the beauties who should be quiet and reserved in other places. At this time, there were all kinds of competition.
"Now if you give it a try, you still have the possibility to get ahead. In the future, there will basically be no chance at all. If you can appear in the second line, it will be a big deal." Yang Dongxu said.
At this time, the two of them were hiding in a small restaurant outside the shooting venue, because Hengdian had opened a tourism project a few years ago.
Therefore, there are not only various shooting scenes, but also many restaurants and hotels to provide convenience for tourists.
At the same time, allowing tourists to be extras is a must-have item for tourism, but there is basically no money for extras. Unless you can be an extra for a day, or stick to one scene, you will have no money.
Under normal circumstances, it is rare for extras to last for one scene. After all, everyone comes here to experience traveling, not to actually be extras.
"Why? There seems to be a lot of grassroots popularity in recent years." Zhang Yue couldn't help but ask.
There are indeed many grassroots singers who have become popular in recent years. Not to mention grassroots film and television stars like Bao Qiang, there are really many grassroots singers promoted by YY Music alone.
Although many of them only have one or two masterpieces before they become famous, and they don’t receive any good songs, they slowly disappear from the public eye.
But there are also many popular ones, such as Daolang, Adu, Pang Long...etc., etc. As long as one song becomes popular, and then two or three more songs stabilize it, you can basically get commercial performances. , or go to other people's concerts, and gradually climb up.
“Because when more people come into an industry, it becomes harder to get ahead, especially if you are someone who has climbed up from the bottom without resources or connections. Without the support of noble people, it is difficult to get ahead.”
Why do people want to rush into an industry?
Because this industry can make money!
And industries that can make money are fat in the eyes of capital, so the more popular this industry is, the harder it is for people at the grassroots level to get ahead. After all, people at the grassroots level are easy to make money and resources, so where can you make money if you take up the capital?
And these days, major art colleges are expanding their enrollment just like college students, as if they are afraid that they will not have enough students.
There are waves of students graduating from professional colleges every year, although not all of them may become insiders. But people take this kind of major because they want to develop in this industry.
And students who can graduate from art colleges are definitely better than grassroots in terms of appearance and professional ability.
So after a year or two, looking at the entire entertainment industry, there will still be two grassroots singers popping up occasionally, but the grassroots actors have basically disappeared.
Occasionally, one or two people come out, but they are always backed by wealthy and powerful people. Instead, they were just some small flowers. After that, various traffic stars emerged one after another. How can you become famous when there is no soil for grassroots survival?
So I had no resources and no background, so I wanted to work my way up from group acting. You might as well engage in music, become popular with one song, and then make a lot of money. The success rate is high.
"Then it's not a waste of time for them to spend time here?" Wu Sheng asked.
Yang Dongxu shrugged, "If you can't help it, go and tell them that it's impossible to climb up from being a group performer, and you want them to listen, right?"
In fact, they couldn't waste a few years. After trying for two or three years and it didn't work, they left on their own. Then there will be a group of dream chasers who have never experienced hardship, and this cycle continues.
If you don’t believe me, come back and take a look later. These handsome guys and beauties must have changed their faces. There are very few people who can really stick to the end. "
"What can they do if they don't act?"
"What else can I do? If I don't give up, I'll go to clubs and some wealthy people's circles to see if I can get a sponsor to invest in filming. If I don't want to live an ordinary life and have no other survival skills, I'll go to bars and KTVs. A life of drunkenness and dreams.
Some people who want to be down-to-earth find a stable job, then fall into a stable relationship, and finally get married and have children. It is your choice to live whatever life you want.
Okay, stop talking nonsense here, the scene over there should be over, go to the Tantan class to finish your errands and go home, there is nothing interesting here. "
Yang Dongxu clapped his hands and stood up. Wu Sheng paid two cents, and the three of them walked towards a crew not far away who was about to call it a day.
This crew is not Hainer's crew, but Yu Feihong's crew.
After several years of polishing, Yu Feihong took out the book he had been thinking about before, and then found some investment to prepare to shoot it.
One of the investors is Yang Dongxu's aunt Ran Feifei, who came to Hengdian to do business. Ran Feifei happened to be curious about the crew's participation in the filming, and she must come to visit the crew, right?
"Mr. Yang, you're here." Before reaching the crew, I saw a woman running quickly towards this side with a warm smile on her face.
This is Yu Feihong's assistant. He knew Yang Dongxu was coming so he has been waiting here.
"Yes." Yang Dongxu nodded, and the assistant led them inside.
Many people nearby couldn't help but look at Yang Dongxu, because he was a bit unfamiliar.
Walking inside, many crew members are packing up props. The filming here is considered finished, and they are packing up to prepare for a change of venue.
"Didn't you call me a long time ago? Why are you here now?" Ran Feifei couldn't help but ask when she saw Yang Dongxu.
Yang Dongxu turned around and gestured to the small restaurant not far away, "Didn't you say it's almost over? I just ate a bowl of cold skin over there without being disturbed. I just came here to see you finish the work. How do you feel about filming?"
"It's not that great." Ran Feifei shook her head, "It just feels fresh, and there's nothing else that makes me feel too much. Standing behind the camera and looking at the things I shot, it's all messy. Feihong said that I have to edit it before I can watch it. Anyway, it looks just like ordinary people. The movie gap is too big.”
"Normally, many movie contents are not shot according to the order of the script, but shot location by location, and then the director smoothes the order and edits it into a movie. To an outsider, it does seem like the filming is messy."
Yang Dongxu has also been a director, so he can be considered an expert. He can understand Ran Feifei's feeling of boredom. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a familiar figure jumping out, "Why are you here?"
"No one entertains me in Modu, why can't I go around on my own?" Dai'er rolled her eyes.
"Dair heard that I was filming and came over to watch the fun. Then Feihong gave her a small role with a long face and a few lines to participate in," Ran Feifei said.
This is the difference between those with capital and connections and those at the grassroots level. Many beautiful female extras pay the price of being stuck by the group leaders and taking advantage of the crew.
It may not be possible to get a role where she can show her face and have a few lines. But because Dai'er is Ran Feifei's friend, the director can add some scenes to her to make her happy.
"Should we continue filming now?" Yang Dongxu looked at the busy crew members and asked.
"I won't follow you when filming. So whatever happens next is Feihong's own business and I won't get involved."
After satisfying curiosity, there is all kinds of boredom.
"Xu Zi is here." Yu Feihong, who was communicating with the actor not far away, came over.
Also coming with him was Duan Hongyi, who looked haggard as if he had not had enough sleep.
"Boss." Duan Hong greeted Yang Dongxu as soon as he saw him. He was also one of Haina's male artists.
Yang Dongxu likes Duan Hongyi very much, especially the films he starred in "My Captain, My Group", "White Deer Plain", "Western Wind", etc. that were filmed a few years ago, which left a deep impression on him. The acting skills are really nothing to say.
"I ordered some fruits and milk tea for you, and you can share a share." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
The reason why I didn't come directly here while eating cold skin just now was because I was waiting for these things to be ready. After all, this is a visit to the class. Even if Ran Feifei is her own aunt, she still has the basic courtesy that other people should have. It is a bit shameful for the visit to be empty-handed.
"Then I will help the crew to thank the big boss for his generosity." Yu Feihong joked.
She and Yang Dongxu are familiar and can be considered friends. Therefore, she is not as restrained as Duan Yihong, not to mention that she is not a Haina artist, her acting and directing are very Buddhist.
"I'm talking about you being a big boss, your movie will definitely win an award." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.
It feels a bit ironic to say that Yu Feihong's movies are huge hits, because this actor specializes in literary and artistic films, and it is basically impossible for literary and artistic films to be successful.
Although Yu Feihong also hopes to do well at the box office, after all, everyone wants to achieve both box office and word-of-mouth success, and at the same time win the grand prize and kill three birds with one stone. But wishing for an award still sounds more sincere.
"Then I'll take your blessing."
"Oh, have you finished filming? I'm late." A few people were chatting, and a woman came over carrying a lot of things. She was obviously visiting the class.
"It's all over and ready to transition." Duan Hongyi hurriedly went up to greet him.
Because the visitor was Zuo Xiaoqing's friend, who came to visit his class.
"I'm really late. It's mainly because it's so hard to find here. I turned around several times before I found it." Zuo Xiaoqing handed the things in her hand to Duan Hongyi and kept shaking her hands. She was carrying a lot of things.
"It's really easy for people who come here for the first time to get confused. Come on, let me introduce it to you."
Duan Hong opened his mouth and said: "This is me... Mr. Yang, this is the investor of this drama, Ms. Ran Feifei, this is Ms. Ran Feifei's friend Miss Dai'er, this is the famous Director Yu Feihong, Director Yu."
"Fuck you." Yu Feihong pushed Duan Hong. The two of them were considered friends, so they were joking.
Zuo Xiaoqing nodded and shook hands to say hello.
At the same time, Yang Dongxu's eyes were somewhat searching, but he didn't have any other ideas. Yang Dongxu is not so handsome that women can't close their legs at the first sight.
Duan Hongyi was a little stuck when he introduced Yang Dongxu's identity just now, and the attitude of the people present towards him seemed to be different, so he was just a little curious about his identity.
Yang Dongxu couldn't help but look at Zuo Xiaoqing a few more times, but he didn't have any thoughts, even though she was indeed a beauty.
He took a second look because there was a big gap between the current Zuo Xiaoqing and the Zuo Xiaoqing in his impression.
He knew that Zuo Xiaoqing was an actor, but he didn't know what roles she had played or what she had experienced. After all, she was not a well-known actress.
The only reason I remember Zuo Xiaoqing is because she participated in the TV series "If Time Can Turn Back", which was criticized by the Internet as a middle-aged greasy uncle who had an impact on his outlook on life.
This is a drama with three male protagonists. Yang Dongxu has long forgotten the specific content, but Jing Ya played by Zuo Xiaoqing left a very deep impression on him.
At that time, I felt that this woman was too intellectual and beautiful, and she was simply the perfect standard for men to choose a mate. This is the only character he remembers throughout the entire show.
Now that I saw the real person, I naturally couldn't help but look at him twice, but I didn't stare at him. I just looked at each other when greeting him.
Zuo Xiaoqing now is much younger than Zuo Xiaoqing when she played Jing Ya, a bit like Jiang Wenli when she was young.
At the same time, because she is too young, what I see now is her youthful and beautiful side.
The kind of intellectual beauty that astonished Yang Dongxu has not yet been seen. This requires the accumulation of time and experience.
"It's time to change the scene. There's nothing to do in the afternoon. I'll treat you to dinner." Yu Feihong said. Although Yang Dongxu is the major shareholder in Hengdian, it is obviously her home ground when she comes to visit the class.
"Okay, there happens to be a restaurant not far away that serves good roast duck. Let's go get a private room to eat some." Ran Feifei and Yu Feihong are best friends.
So when Yu Feihong wanted to treat him, she was not polite and just said what she wanted to eat.
Then everyone else looked at Yang Dongxu.
"Then go and eat something, but are you going to eat the roast duck or go find the cook?" Yang Dongxu joked with a smile.
Yu Feihong next to him couldn't help but laugh too. Ran Feifei has two major hobbies, traveling and digging cooks.
She manages the Yang Family Banquet not only to promote various major cuisines, imperial cuisine and other high-end delicacies, but also to explore various folk delicacies and even foreign delicacies.
If I encounter something delicious while traveling, I will definitely poach the cook if I get the chance.
So now the Yang Family Banquet, in addition to some specific restaurants that only serve Chinese cuisine, in other restaurants, various Western-style desserts, cheese, steak, foie gras, etc. are also signatures.
This is also one of the fundamental reasons why Yangjiayan can become bigger and stronger. Only by keeping up with the development of the times and incorporating the best of hundreds of companies can we become a leader in the industry.
"Have you already eaten? Just don't go and save some for Feihong." Ran Feifei said back.
"I didn't eat at all in the morning just to eat this meal. Just now I was really hungry and couldn't stand it anymore, so I just ate some cold food to cushion my stomach."
