This actor needs more money

"Who says it's not the case?" Following Ding Xiu's words, Zhao Liying said: "In the past two years, there have been more and more extras in Hengdian."

"Everyone is becoming more and more tolerant of filming. I think back then, when I first came out to film, I was told by my family that I was not doing my job properly."

"Nowadays, the streets are full of college students. Every year, they graduate from film schools and art schools. Thousands of college students go here."

"Many production crews indicate that college students are preferred when recruiting extras. Sometimes I want to get a college diploma."

The market in the entertainment industry is getting better and better year by year, and the salaries are getting higher and higher year by year. Naturally, more people are joining the industry.

Who were the extras in Ding Xiu's group back then?

Most of them are homeless people, gangsters, and people from small counties and rural areas who come to work.

When my family heard that I was working as an extra, they thought it was not a good job.

It's okay for men, but it's easy for women to be misunderstood, because when it comes to the entertainment industry, there are all kinds of unspoken rules. If you want to be popular and get good roles, you will inevitably have to make sacrifices.

Times are different now.

People with no education, ordinary looks, and no connections in their families will never get a chance to play a role with lines.

As long as there are a few words, when the assistant director is selecting people, the minimum requirement is a bachelor's degree.

The reason is, if you haven’t even graduated from a bachelor’s degree, how can you understand the characters?

Therefore, in recent years, college students have become very popular in Hengdian.

It's just a hard-hitting soldier, how can it be so easy to become popular.

Countless young people come with dreams, but few can last for a year without running away with a bucket.

Some of them have grown old and become old fritters, and they simply live here and indulge in money and wealth. As soon as they get paid, they find fast-food girlfriends, or they just fry gold flowers and play mahjong.

Ding Xiu sneered: "What diploma do you need? How many people in the entertainment industry are educated?"

It’s not about burying our own people. There are really not many educated people in this industry.

The diploma thing is just a lie.

If a diploma is really useful, so many majors graduating every year would have become popular.

To get out, you need to focus on strength and background, and diplomas alone are of no use.

"Brother Xiu, that's not what you said. Of course you don't need a diploma. The stack of your scripts can be two meters high."

Zhao Liying showed her height with her hands unconvinced.

"But for newcomers who are just starting out, academic qualifications are a stepping stone. Even if they have acting skills, during the interview, if they see that their academic qualifications are technical secondary school, people will immediately throw your resume into the trash."

Her own education is technical secondary school.

If Ding Xiu hadn't led her to act in several dramas, and the company's resources had given her a lot of work and filming experience, she would have ended up no better than other newcomers.

For newcomers, it is really important to graduate from an acting major.

It doesn’t matter if they are just extras. Those who have a little bit of dialogue will be given priority by graduates from the three major film schools: Shang Drama, China Drama, and Nortel.

Followed by other acting schools.

It is difficult for people with low academic qualifications to get along.

So when she said she wanted to get a degree, she was not just talking about it, she really had the idea.

"Hurry up and pull it down. The so-called threshold is the door if you have the ability, and the threshold is the threshold if you don't have the ability. Don't spend time on those fancy things. After you study for a few years, no one will know you."

"When The Legend of Lu Zhen is finished, I'll find you a second female lead to fill the second half of the year."

"After Lu Zhen is aired next year, you should play the lead female role. You will do two movies a year. During the window, you will play the second female lead in the second half of this year."

"If nothing else happens, you will be on the road. If you can eat this bowl of rice in the future, it will not be a problem to earn living expenses for the rest of your life in the next three to five years."

"If you're lucky, if it becomes popular, your career will take a big step forward. Yachts, sports cars, and villas are just standard equipment."

Dahong relied on his life, Xiaohong relied on his support, and that was all Ding Xiu could do.

Zhao Liying wanted to get a diploma or something, but he didn't think it was necessary.

First, he has the resources to support her.

Secondly, she is not young anymore. If she really goes back to her old ways for a few years, she will be very old when she comes out. She will have relatively few opportunities.

"Ah, Brother Xiu, you are so kind to me." Zhao Liying said with wide eyes and couldn't believe it.

She felt that Ding Xiu helped her get the female lead once, which was a huge favor, but she didn't expect that it would be arranged for the second half of the year and next year.

This feeling is too heavy.

Secretly sizing up Ding Xiu, Zhao Liying felt that he might be interested in her.

Otherwise, Yang Mi would be jealous if she knew about this level of support.

Seeing the weird look in her eyes, Ding Xiu raised his hand, slapped her gently on the back of the head, and said angrily: "What are you thinking about?"

"Actually, I can't help you much. I said I will play the female lead next year. The details will depend on the broadcast effect of Lu Zhen's Legend."

"Take a step back. As the boss of a company, isn't it natural for you to praise your female artists?"

"I see the hard work of each of you. As long as you work hard and the time comes, I will give you a chance. Those who can seize it will climb up. Those who cannot seize it can only blame themselves."

Ding Xiu said as he walked, and when he came to a city wall intersection, he turned to Zhao Liying who was immersed in fantasy and said with a smile on her lips:

"Which way?"

"Ah, this way, this way."

Zhao Liying led Ding Xiu and soon arrived at the Lu Zhen Legend crew.

The scenic spots here imitate the palace. From a distance, it looks almost the same as the real one. There is no difference.

Red walls and green tiles, lakes with green waves, pavilions and pavilions, cornices and hanging corners.

Eunuchs and maids gathered in twos and threes to chat and sit on the ground to rest.

"Xiuzai, why did you come here in person? Didn't I tell you that I would pick you up tonight?"

Before Ding Xiu arrived, Zhao Liying sent a message to Li Huizhu, and she came over from the director's studio to say hello to people she saw from a distance.

"How dare I ask Sister Li to pick me up? I put down my luggage and ran over immediately to report. I bought a bouquet of flowers on the way. I wish you a smooth shooting."

Ding Xiu handed a bouquet of flowers from the assistant behind him to Li Huizhu's hand.

Looking at this familiar bunch of Diana, the corners of Li Huizhu's mouth twitched. Wasn't this what she asked Zhao Liying to send Ding Xiu off to?

Good guy, you changed hands and sent it back, right?

I bought it on the way, so I took it as a convenience.

"Thank you, Xiuzai. You're thoughtful. You sit down for a while. I have something to do. I'll come over to you later. Xiao Zhao, please help me with the reception."

"Sister Li, you are busy."

"Okay Director Li."

It was obvious that Li Huizhu was really busy. After a few polite words, she went back to the director's studio.

Ding Xiu wandered around the set for a while and happened to catch up with the meal. He hadn't eaten yet today, so he found a free table and sat down, asking the staff to get him a portion.

The crew's food was okay, with four dishes, one soup, and chicken legs.

While eating, Ding Xiu chatted with the cast and crew. They were all young people. They were restrained at first, but they relaxed after a while.

…

"Teacher, you can't get your lunch here."

"They can take it, why can't I? Treat them differently, right?"

"Heh, don't look at who he is. Who are you? You're just a walk-on. Did you get this?"

"Fuck you, don't look down on others."

"Who are you calling a dog?"

"Whoever agrees is a dog."

Not far behind Ding Xiu, a small special actor had an argument with the staff.

The assistant director was attracted by the quarrel, but when he saw the young special actor, he suddenly became furious.

He had the impression that this kid was a student from Nortel and was still in his senior year as an intern.

In the past, when I was filming, I randomly added lines, saying that I could better understand the inner richness of the character.

I'm rich inside be damned.

A small role with three lines, not even a supporting role, it’s so rich.

Because this kid added random words, that one was NG, and he got scolded by the director.

At that time, seeing that he was young, I let him go and let him go with a few criticisms.

I didn't expect that this would cause trouble again.
