Capital, a certain community, Ma Guoliang's home.
Ma Guoliang has been in the entertainment industry for many years and earned a lot of money. He bought a house with four bedrooms and three living rooms in the capital.
In a room near the bathroom, Ma Guoliang stood in the center of the room, pacing around the room. With every step he took, his face changed with an emotion.
Mirrors covering the entire wall were installed on the four walls.
Ma Guoliang observed his body, facial features, and expression through mirrors in all directions.
Practice your acting skills!
This is something he has to do every day.
Compared with some artists in the industry, he has no background or talent. He only relies on his own diligence and hard work.
If he hadn't practiced his acting skills day after day, he wouldn't be where he is today.
In recent months, Ma Guoliang has become popular in China.
Sometimes, when he thinks about it, he feels very lucky.
At first, with the attitude of giving it a try, he auditioned for the crew of "Lotus Lantern" and played the role of Roaring Dog. After "Lotus Lantern" became a hit, many directors who had previously looked down on him began to send him auditions. invite.
But Ma Guoliang declined all those invitations. He took the initiative to contact Bright Entertainment Company and finally joined the crew of "Underground Traffic Station" again.
In "The Lotus Lantern", although the Roaring Dog he played had more roles, he was still a supporting role.
But in the more popular "Underground Traffic Station", he played one of the protagonists.
By now, Ma Guoliang has entered the forefront of the list of second-tier public figures.
"I have worked hard for many years and practiced my acting skills, but no one cared about me. Fortunately, I seized the opportunity." Ma Guoliang, sweating profusely, sat down on the ground, his face full of joy.
If we say that his previous requirement for himself was to earn as much money as possible, he would be able to have the capital to do some other small businesses when the weather gets colder in the future.
So now, Ma Guoliang is rushing to the front line. In the past, he would not even dare to think about it.
"In a few days, it will be the Feitian Award. I don't know if I can get an award. If I can get the 'Best Supporting Actor', that would be great." Ma Guoliang's eyes flashed with a trace of nervousness and expectation.
In the past, he had never dared to think about winning a category-one award.
But now, he might actually get it!
"Save some more money. When I have enough money, I will apply to the company to terminate the contract, and then sign a contract with Cuican Entertainment. Fortunately, when I signed the contract, the company felt that my development potential was low and did not sign a high-level contract with me. Otherwise, If so, I really can't get the liquidated damages. Even if I can get it, I will die from the pain." Ma Guo thought in his conscience.
After Ma Guoliang became popular, Spark Media Entertainment Company repeatedly proposed to sign a higher-level contract with Ma Guoliang, so that Ma Guoliang could get a higher share and enjoy other more superior benefits.
However, Ma Guoliang refused the initiative of Spark Media Entertainment.
Ma Guoliang asked himself that his acting skills were already quite good. As long as Xinghuo Entertainment wanted to praise him, it was possible for him to become popular. However, the resources of Spark Media have never been tilted towards him. Although Ma Guoliang has no complaints, he is somewhat resentful in his heart and does not intend to compromise with Spark Entertainment anymore.
If he had been given a hand by Spark Entertainment when he was down and out, he would not have said he wanted to leave now.
But he has long been disillusioned with Xinghuo Entertainment's practices, and now he is willing to leave even if he is asked to take liquidated damages.
Everything else can wait. For Ma Guoliang, the most important thing now is the upcoming Feitian Award.

Wang Yue's home.
The room was brightly lit but somewhat smoky.
Wang Yue sat on the sofa, holding a Xuanhemen with white smoke rising between his fingers. He was not used to smoking strong cigarettes, so he could only smoke this.
"Another year of the Feitian Award." Wang Yue sighed with emotion and was full of expectations for this year's Feitian Award.
In the past, when he participated in the Feitian Award, he participated as a second-tier player, but this year he has become a first-tier player.
And with the popularity of "Underground Traffic Station", he has now reached the 45th place on the list of first-line public figures.
In previous years, although Wang Yue was also eligible to participate in the three major first-category awards, he was basically a companion.
Even his crew rarely wins awards. After all, the competition for the three major and first category awards is too fierce, and there are many experts from all walks of life.
But this year, Wang Yue is not sure that he will win the award, but his crew "Underground Traffic Station" will definitely win the award, and it will also win multiple awards!
"Best Actor," Wang Yue took a deep puff of his cigarette and said, "Maybe I can win it this time."
The most popular TV series this year is undoubtedly "Underground Traffic Station".
Although "Underground Traffic Station" is a drama that focuses on group portraits, it also has protagonists and supporting characters. The first protagonist is Cai Shuigan, played by Wang Yue.
It's just that Cai Shugen's performance in it, although good, was inevitably overshadowed by some of the veteran actors in the play.
For example, Jia Gui, played by Li Baoshan, simply stole the spotlight from all the actors in the play.
But even though Cai Shugen's role as the male protagonist is a bit weak compared to other TV series, he is still the male protagonist after all.
Therefore, the possibility of Wang Yue winning the "Best Actor" award is still very high.
After finishing one cigarette, Wang Yue lit another one.
Thinking that he was expected to win the "Best Actor" at the Feitian Award this time, Wang Yue couldn't help but feel a little excited.
He has not been a front-line actor for a long time. As a front-line actor, he has to win the "Best Actor" award in one category and have a solid foundation.
...
...
In the capital, in a courtyard.
Li Baoshan was sitting on a chair, holding a script in his hand. On the cover of the script, there were five characters "Underground Traffic Station" written on it.
"Underground Traffic Station" is one of the most exciting scripts that Li Baoshan has received in the past few decades. When he first received this script, Li Baoshan felt like he had found a treasure. He decided on the spot that he would participate in this script even if he did not get paid. drama.
Now even though the filming has been completed and the drama has been broadcast on TV, Li Baoshan is still continuing to research.
Nowadays, many people outside are following the trend of filming sitcoms similar to "Underground Traffic Station". Li Baoshan just briefly learned about it and concluded that those dramas will not be successful because the scripts are too different from "Underground Traffic Station".
"What are the seeds in Tan Yue's head? Such classic lines come easily." Li Baoshan looked at the script and praised Tan Yue for writing it.
Ding ding ding.
While Li Baoshan was studying the script, the cell phone on the table rang.
Li Baoshan put down the script, picked up the phone, squinted his eyes, and looked at the phone screen. It was his friend Lao Xie calling him.
I heard that this guy traveled to the border and now went to the food street in Jinling to explore the shops.
"This old guy is getting better and better at playing, but he's becoming less and less like an actor."
Li Baoshan laughed and cursed, then pressed the answer button and answered the call.
On the phone, Lao Xie's voice came, "Hey, Lao Li, what are you doing?"
"I'm not doing anything, I'm just staying at home and reading the script." Li Baoshan said with a smile.
On the phone, Lao Xie sounded a little surprised and said: "Hey, Lao Li, do you want to make a comeback? The frequency of accepting dramas is a bit fast. What dramas have you accepted this time?"
Li Baoshan said with a smile: "I didn't accept the drama. I read the script of "Underground Traffic Station". I thought the script was really well written, so I took it out to study and study more."
"Hey," Lao Xie said: "The script of "Underground Traffic Station"? This is a good thing. I have finished watching "Underground Traffic Station". This drama is great, and the screenwriter is really a genius."
"Haha, Tan Yue is a very talented person, I admire him very much." Li Baoshan praised Tan Yue.
Lao Xie said: "Lao Li, can you show me the script of "Underground Traffic Station"? This drama is definitely a classic, and the research value of the script is very great."
Li Baoshan knew that his old friend was overjoyed.
However, Li Baoshan did not agree. After all, the script was not written by himself, but was the result of Tan Yue's labor. As an actor in the play, he could take out the script and read it, but he would show it to others without saying hello to Tan Yue. , that is not good, it is detrimental to professional ethics, "Lao Xie, I have to ask Tan Yue about this. The script is his creation, and I am not good at making opinions."
Lao Xie on the other side of the phone smiled and said: "Okay, you have to respect other people's intellectual property rights. To be honest, I really want to meet Tan Yue, who you admire so much."
"I'll take you to see him if I have the chance. I won't let you down." Li Baoshan said with a smile.
Lao Xie said: "By the way, Lao Li, the Feitian Award will be announced in a few days. You have to go and participate then, right?"
Li Baoshan hummed and said, "Yes, the crew of "Underground Traffic Station" informed me that I will follow the car to the Feitian Awards in a few days. Think about it, I haven't been to the Feitian Awards for many years."
When Li Baoshan was in full swing, he was a frequent winner of first-category awards.
Later, after semi-retirement, I basically didn’t attend these award ceremonies anymore.
Lao Xie smiled and said: "With the results of "Underground Traffic Station", I guess you can sweep the Feitian Award, but you probably won't win the award."
Li Baoshan chuckled and said with a smile: "If you don't get the prize, you won't get the prize. It's such a lively occasion, so it's good to go and see it."
If we simply go by Li Baoshan's proficiency in playing Captain Jia Guijia in "Underground Traffic Station", it would be more than enough to win the 'Best Supporting Actor' in the three awards.
But it's different when it's Li Baoshan who plays Jia Gui.
Li Baoshan is a top actor of the older generation in the industry. His qualifications and acting skills are better than those of the judges. It would be inappropriate to award him the 'Best Supporting Actor' award now.
Generally speaking, when encountering this kind of situation, the jury will not award this kind of award to such a national treasure-level veteran actor, unless he plays the leading role and wins the 'Best Actor' or 'Best Actress' several times. Protagonist' no problem.
If it's 'Best Supporting Actor', it would be more appropriate to leave this opportunity to younger actors.
The two talked for a while before hanging up the phone.
Putting down his phone, Li Baoshan leaned on his chair and thought for a while.
He hasn't participated in the Feitian Awards for many years. If it weren't for his great impression of the crew of "Underground Traffic Station", he wouldn't have participated in the Feitian Awards this time.
"It's good to go and see the excitement. Such sweeping scenes are rare." Li Baoshan smiled.
