Whose Little Eyes Haven't Seen the Actor Yet

When the news that "Full House" was shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival came back to China, those who knew the inside story couldn't help sighing, "It's too evil."

As one of the three major international film festivals, the Venice Film Festival prefers artistic and avant-garde films. Even if the film is slightly flawed, as long as the focus is novel and the technique is unique, it will be accepted by the film festival.

"House of Colors" is such a work with novel content and unique techniques: the film is very short, and the opening and closing credits barely last 70 minutes. It tells the story of a troupe going to the countryside to perform.One protagonist, two supporting roles, and several extras.

The filming time of this film was only ten days before and after, and the director was unknown-he had been doing photography in other crews before, the script was written by himself, the lighting and recording were all helped by acquaintances, the venue was free, and even the camera It's all by chance.

It is such a work that looks like a joke, but it was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Venice Film Festival!

But the "evil gate" that everyone laments does not refer to this incident, but Jiang Zicheng, the hero of this movie.

Because of Jiangzicheng's luck, it's too evil to be good.

People in the circle who have met Jiang Zicheng have a good impression of him.

The young man loves to laugh, his eyes are shiny, his eyelashes are long, his skin is fair, and he looks handsome. He is the most popular handsome boy nowadays.This kind of appearance is most suitable for the traffic niche route. Just put a few poses in front of the camera, provoke the heroine's chin and say a few earthy love words, and you can make the hearts of young fans jump wildly.

Jiang Zicheng is not a flower vase, he graduated from a serious class with excellent grades, he is quick to enter the drama, and he is willing to work hard.But his brokerage company is not strong, has no resources, and can't get any good jobs at all.

But the first "bad" scene he accepted was a hit.

This play is adapted from a certain mobile app love game, in which eight male protagonists are jealous of one female protagonist.Halfway through the filming, the small company went bankrupt.It stands to reason that this drama should have been aborted, and the person who wants to take over this mess is actually a certain real estate group!

The daughter of the group boss is a loyal player of this game. Miss Qianjin brought a large-scale investment airborne crew, directly squeezed out the heroine, went on stage in person, and staged a love guessing game with eight beautiful men.

Because the whole filming story was full of twists and turns, and the scene of eight men competing for one woman was very eye-catching, so this drama was directly scolded on the hot search, and it didn't stop throughout the summer vacation.

Jiang Zicheng's second drama was not favored at the beginning of filming.What's the name? "The Boys' Dormitory: The Brother Sleeping Under My Bed", a horror web drama, it looks like a bad movie configuration.

As a result, when it was released, it happened to catch up with a similar social hot news, so it won the pay-per-view champion of the month in a daze.

And then the third drama...the fourth drama...the fifth drama...

In just two years, Jiang Zicheng's films became popular for various reasons.Some of these movies are bad and rough, some are well-made, and some are full of big names, with different themes, but they just happened to be popular.

And Jiang Zicheng, who frequently appeared in these "hot" films, was gradually noticed by the audience.

Jiang Zicheng's acting skills are nothing to say, no matter if he is pretending to be cute, or playing ruthless and pretending to be cool, he portrays it thoroughly.When he was off the show and took off his makeup, he transformed into a funny blogger on social networks, sharing golden jokes every day.

He has no idol baggage at all, he is very down-to-earth, and he doesn't shy away from meat and vegetables when joking.

The agent couldn't stand his racing on Weibo all day long, so he confiscated his Weibo account.

Later he opened a small account called "@江子城1".

The broker confiscated the account again.

So he opened "@江子城2".

The agent confiscated the second trumpet again.

But his trumpet is like a leek, slice after slice, first "@江子城3", then "@江子城4", and then "@江子城5"...

...Just like that, he drove until "@江子城18", the manager finally gave up and didn't bother to talk to him.

Fans joked that if he didn't want to be filming one day, he could switch careers to work as a copywriter for Durex's Weibo, and he would definitely get a million annual salary.

"@江子城18" replied to this comment: I haven't won the best actor of the three major film festivals, so it is impossible for me to retire~

And the day after he wrote this comment, the news that "Full House" was shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival spread throughout the entertainment circle.

In the office of the boss of Tianxin Film and Television Company, the air conditioner was turned up to [-] degrees.

Jiang Zicheng sat on the single sofa, his posture was not very proper.A loose trendy T-shirt covers his body loosely. He is wearing a pair of ripped jeans today, with both knees exposed. He is struggling to pull the T-shirt down, trying to keep his knees warm. Prevent getting old and cold legs when you are old.

Opposite him, the owner of the company picked up a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his bald head.

"Well, Zicheng, congratulations on your new film being shortlisted for the Venice Film Festival." The boss's tone was very polite, even a little flattering.

There is no way, this film and television company is extremely small, and two of the only three contracted artists are too busy to pick their feet. Jiang Zicheng is a well-deserved first brother-although this "first brother" can only be regarded as ten in other film and television companies. Eighth-line artist.

Jiang Zicheng was still struggling with his big T-shirt and ripped pants, and he replied casually: "Boss, you are being too polite. I also want to thank the company for allowing me to take the job in private."

That's right, "Full House of Colors", the movie that made Jiang Zicheng appear on the big screen for the first time, was bought by himself.The total budget of the film was 30 yuan. The director held multiple roles, and several friends in the industry were in charge of lighting, radio, editing, and soundtrack. It took ten days to shoot.The director took half of the budget and asked the troupe to sing the play for ten days. Jiang Zicheng, as the male lead, was paid only 5 yuan.

He is now paying more than this price for an episode of TV series. When he took this job, his agent suspected that he was crazy.

But there is no way, who made him the "first brother".

Moreover, this "first brother" is extremely lucky, as long as he has participated in a movie, it will definitely be popular.

It's just that the agent didn't expect that this time he would be popular at the Venice Film Festival.

The boss picked up the tea cup and drank tea silently, without saying a word for a long time.

Jiang Zicheng tugged at the hem of his T-shirt, and asked casually: "You called me, do you want to discuss with me what to do next? I still hope to keep a low profile. It's okay to brag about movies, but it's okay to brag about me, especially don't I'm tied up with other celebrities. You also know that my hardcore fans basically don't exist, and it's too ugly to be massacred."

He chatted for a long time, but didn't hear the boss' reply.

That's when he felt something was wrong. He raised his head and looked at the manager next to the boss.

The agent averted his eyes.

He looked at the boss again.

The boss concentrates on drinking tea.

"..." Jiang Zicheng sensed something, and asked softly, "Boss, is our company encountering any difficulties?"

"Well, this matter..." The boss coughed, "Don't worry, it won't go bankrupt if it goes bankrupt, just, just change the name in a few days—"

Jiang Zicheng understood: "Have we been annexed?"

The agent gave a low "hmm".

Jiang Zicheng was not surprised by this answer. He had known for a long time that this kind of small family-run business would not last long.

There are a total of [-] artists in the whole company. Except for Jiang Zicheng, the remaining [-] people are all related to the boss.The boss has a deep-rooted concept of a big family. One person starts the company, and the whole family makes money together. Even the two wolf dogs who guard the door do not come to other villages.

Jiang Zicheng mobilized every inch of muscle on his face, exerting his top acting skills in the past two years, inch by inch, inch by inch, making every pore of his body exude "surprise", "surprise" and "unbelievable" breath.

"How could it be so sudden?" There was a sense of loneliness and regret in his voice, and a thin layer of tears filled his eyes, "I didn't hear the wind at all before."

"Actually, it's not too sudden." The boss comforted him, "You have been focusing on filming before, and you may not have noticed that since the beginning of this year, our company's operating conditions have not been very good."

Pooh.

How could Jiang Zicheng not notice?At the end of last year, the company was unable to pay employees' wages, and the boss kept holding back his salary, tricking him into exchanging his salary for one-fifth of the company's dry stock.After he nodded in agreement, the company had the money to pay the next year's rent.

The agent said: "Half a month ago, Ruici Entertainment suddenly interviewed us and said that they wanted to buy us, and the terms they offered were very generous. Our company is in a difficult time, so the boss agreed."

The boss was very depressed: "I didn't expect the news that your film was shortlisted in Venice after the acquisition was finalized... It seems that they got the inside information a long time ago and lowered the price in advance."

Jiang Zicheng leaned forward slightly, with anxiety on his face and clenched fists. In the eyes of the other two, this expression became synonymous with nervousness.

The boss comforted him: "But Zicheng, don't worry, you can be regarded as a shareholder of our company, and now there are works that can enter the International Film Festival, Ruici Entertainment will definitely not let you sit on the bench!"

Jiang Zicheng shook his head, still looking unbearable.

The agent and the boss took turns to comfort him. After talking about it, the three big men couldn't help but turn their eyes red.

Jiang Zicheng is beautiful, and looks good when he cries.The teardrops hung on the long curled eyelashes, and with a slight blink, they fell down, drop by drop, like jade beads smashed on the neckline.

The three of them stayed in the office and cried all afternoon, and finally the manager was the first to stop the crying and handed the tissue to his artist.

"Zicheng, don't cry, your eyes are going to swell from crying," he said.

Jiang Zicheng was still choking with sobs: "Just cry and swell, anyway, I don't need to go out to meet people this week."

The company is not strong enough, apart from filming, he rarely has the opportunity to show his face in the announcement.

Manager: "Who said that? The night after tomorrow, Rich Entertainment will hold a dinner party, and your invitation and dress have already been delivered."

■

Walking out of the company, Jiang Zicheng's sorrow that was still hanging on his face just now dissipated instantly, leaving only a piece of sunshine.

If it weren't for his swollen eyes, no one would have noticed that he hugged his ex-manager and ex-boss just now and cried.

He whistled in relief, a sly look flashed past his eyes, and even his footsteps became much lighter.

Anyone can be surprised that his company was annexed by Rich Entertainment Group, but Jiang Zicheng will definitely not be surprised.

——To be more precise, Jiang Zicheng knew all this before he signed the brokerage contract two years ago.
