Chapter 1536 Visiting the Set

Yang Dongxu came to Hengdian to give Liu Zongsheng courage.

Because in addition to the actual investment of funds, Haina used its influence to bring in crews, even Hollywood crews, these are all resources that can be converted into benefits.

And in this regard, Liu Zongsheng is undoubtedly weaker in the negotiation, so he can only ask Yang Dongxu, the big boss, to come forward.

As soon as Yang Dongxu came forward, Haina, which was originally in a weak position, became strong again. In addition, Yang Dongxu could make the final decision. Now even if there are rules and regulations, he can go to the radio and television father to discuss and solve it in person. This in and out of a lot of money.

Walking on the streets of Hengdian, there is no shortage of handsome men and beautiful women, especially when some plays need group performances, the group leader waved his hand and men and women really rushed forward, just like when the supermarket just opened, there were grandpas and aunts who were given free eggs.

"Can all these people become famous?" Looking at such a surging scene, especially the beauties who should be quiet and reserved in other places, they are also vying for it at this time. Wu Sheng couldn't help but ask.

"Now if you try hard, you may still be able to get ahead. In the future, you will basically have no chance at all. It would be the best if you can become a second-tier star." Yang Dongxu said.

At this time, the two were hiding in a small restaurant outside a filming site, because Hengdian had opened a tourism project a few years ago.

Therefore, there are not only various filming scenes, but also many restaurants and hotels to provide convenience for tourists.

At the same time, letting tourists be extras is a must-have for tourism, but there is basically no money for extras, unless you can be an extra for a day, or stick to a scene, otherwise there is no money.

Under normal circumstances, extras rarely stick to a scene, after all, everyone comes to travel and experience, not to be extras for real.

"Why? It seems that there are many grassroots actors who have become popular in recent years." Zhang Yue couldn't help asking.

There are indeed many grassroots actors who have become popular in recent years. Not to mention the grassroots film and television stars like Baoqiang, there are really many grassroots singers who have been promoted by YY music.

Although many of them have only one or two representative works, they have run out of ideas and have not received any good songs, and they have gradually disappeared from the public's eyes.

But there are also many who have become popular, such as Daolang, Adu, Pang Long, etc. As long as one song becomes popular, and then two or three more songs are released to stabilize, they can basically take commercial performances, or go to other people's concerts, and climb up little by little.

"Because when more people pour into an industry, it is more difficult to get ahead, especially for those who climb up from the bottom without resources and connections. It is difficult to get ahead without the support of noble people."

Why do people rush into an industry?

Because this industry can make money!

And industries that can make money are all fat meat in the eyes of capital, so the more popular this industry is, the more difficult it is for grassroots people to get ahead. After all, it is easy for grassroots people to get ahead, but the money and resources are occupied by you. Where can the capital make money?

And these days, major art colleges are expanding their enrollments just like college students, as if they are afraid that they don't have enough students.

Every year, there are waves of students graduating from professional colleges, although they may not all become insiders. But they study 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 one or two years, looking at the entire entertainment industry, grassroots singers can occasionally emerge, but grassroots actors have basically disappeared.

Occasionally, one or two come out, and they are all backed by capital and nobles. On the contrary, some small flowers, and then various traffic stars emerge in an endless stream. How can you become famous without the soil for grassroots survival?

So you have no resources and background, and want to climb up step by step from group performance. You might as well make music, become popular with a song, and then make a lot of money.

"Then isn't it a waste of time for them to spend time here like this?" Wu Sheng asked.

Yang Dongxu shrugged, "It can't be helped. You tell them that it's impossible to climb up from extras, and they still have to listen, right?

In fact, it won't take a few years. After two or three years of trying and failing, they will leave. Then another group of dreamers who have never suffered will come, and this cycle will continue.

If you don't believe me, come back and see these handsome men and beautiful women in a while. They will definitely have a new look. There are basically few people who can really stick to the end."

"What else can they do if they don't act?"

"What else can they do? Those who don't give up will go to clubs and some rich circles to see See if you can tie up a sponsor to invest in your filming. If you are not content with an ordinary life and have no other survival skills, you can go to bars and KTVs to live a life of drunkenness and dreams.

Some people who want to be down-to-earth will find a stable job, then have a stable relationship, and finally get married and have children. You can choose what kind of life you want to live.

Okay, stop talking nonsense here. The filming over there is about to end. Go to the scene to check on the set and go home after finishing your work. There is nothing fun here. "

Yang Dongxu clapped his hands and stood up. Wu Sheng paid two cents, and the three of them walked towards a crew that was about to finish work not far away.

This crew is not Haina's crew, but Yu Feihong's crew.

After several years of polishing, Yu Feihong took out the script she had been thinking about before, and then found some investment to prepare for filming.

One of the investors is Yang Dongxu's aunt Ran Feifei, who came to Hengdian to do some business. Coincidentally, Ran Feifei was also curious about the crew's participation in the filming, so she must come to visit, right?

"Mr. Yang, you are here." Before reaching the crew, a woman ran towards them with a warm smile on her face.

This is Yu Feihong's assistant, who knew that Yang Dongxu was coming, so she had been waiting here.

"Yeah." Yang Dongxu nodded, and the assistant led them inside.

Many people around couldn't help but look at Yang Dongxu, because he looked unfamiliar.

Walking inside, many crew members were packing up props. The scenes here were considered finished, and they were packing up to move to another venue.

"Didn't you call 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 was almost over? I just had a bowl of cold noodles over there and didn't bother you. I came here after seeing you finish work. How was the filming?"

"Not very good." Ran Feifei shook her head, "It just felt fresh, and there was nothing much else. Standing behind the camera, I saw that the filming was messy. Feihong said that I had to edit it before I could watch it. Anyway, it looked very different from ordinary movies."

"It's normal. Many movie contents are not shot in the order of the script, but are shot one by one according to the venue, and then the director straightens the order and edits it into a movie. It does look upside down to outsiders."

Yang Dongxu has also been a director, so he is also an expert. He can understand Ran Feifei's feeling of boredom. As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a familiar figure jump out, "Why are you here?"

"No one entertained me in Modu, why can't I go around by myself?" Dai'er rolled her eyes.

"Daier heard that I was filming and came to watch the fun. Then Feihong gave her a small role with a long face and a few lines, so she participated in the fun." Ran Feifei said.

This is the gap between those with capital and connections and those at the grassroots level. Many beautiful female extras pay the price of being blocked by the group leaders and the crew members taking advantage of them.

They may not be able to get a role with a positive face and a few lines, but because Daier is Ran Feifei's friend, the director can give her some scenes to let her have fun.

"Are we going to switch to another scene now?" Yang Dongxu said as he looked at the busy crew members around him.

"I won't follow you when you film. So the next part is Feihong's own business and I won't participate."

After satisfying curiosity, there are all kinds of boredom.

"Xuzi is here." Yu Feihong, who had communicated with the actors not far away, came over.

He was accompanied by Duan Hongyi, who seemed to be haggard due to lack of sleep.

"Boss." Duan Hongyi greeted Yang Dongxu when he saw him. He is also one of Haina's male artists.

Yang Dongxu likes Duan Hongyi very much, especially the films he filmed and starred in a few years ago, such as "My Captain, My Regiment", "White Deer Plain", "The West Wind Fierce", etc., which left a deep impression on him. His acting skills are really beyond reproach.

"I ordered some fruits and milk tea for you, share them among you." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.

I was eating cold noodles over there just now and didn't come directly. Waiting for these things to be ready is also a reason. After all, this is a visit to the set. Ran Feifei's own aunt is fine, but other people still have basic courtesy. It's a bit inappropriate to visit the set empty-handed.

"Then I will thank the big boss for his generosity on behalf of the crew." Yu Feihong teased.

She is familiar with Yang Dongxu and can be regarded as a friend. So she is not as reserved as Duan Yihong, not to mention that she is not an artist of Haina, and she is very Buddhist in acting and directing.

"Just for your 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 selling well, because this person specializes in the art route in filming, and it is basically impossible for art films to sell well.

Although Yu Feihong also hopes that the box office will be a big hit, after all, everyone wants to have a double harvest of box office and word of mouth, and at the same time win a big award. But wishing for an award sounds more sincere.

"Then I will take your good words."

"Oh, have you finished shooting here? I am late." Several people were chatting, and a woman came over with a lot of things, obviously also visiting the set.

"It's all over and ready to move." Duan Hongyi hurriedly went up to greet.

Because the person who came was Zuo Xiaoqing's friend, who came to visit his class.

"I am really late, mainly because it is too difficult 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 easy for people who come here for the first time to get confused. Let me introduce you."

Duan Hongyi said, "This is me, Young Master Yang. This is Ms. Ran Feifei, the investor of this play. This is Ms. Ran Feifei's friend, Ms. Dai'er. This is the famous director Yu Feihong, Director Yu."

"Go to hell." Yu Feihong pushed Duan Hongyi. The two of them were friends, so they could joke with each other.

Zuo Xiaoqing nodded and shook hands to greet them.

At the same time, he looked at Yang Dongxu with a probing look. He didn't have any other thoughts. Yang Dongxu was not so handsome that women couldn't close their legs at the sight of him.

As long as Duan Hongyi was a little stuck when introducing Yang Dongxu's identity just now, and the attitudes of the people present towards him seemed different, 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.

The reason for taking a second look is that the current Zuo Xiaoqing is a little different from the Zuo Xiaoqing in his impression.

He knows that Zuo Xiaoqing is an actress, but he doesn't know what roles she has played and what she has experienced. After all, she is not a well-known actress.

The reason why he remembers Zuo Xiaoqing is that she participated in a TV series called "If Time Can Turn Back" that was evaluated by the Internet as a middle-aged greasy uncle that was evaluated as a shock to the three views.

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 deep impression on him.

At that time, he felt that this woman was too intellectual and beautiful, and she was simply the perfect standard for men to choose a spouse. He only remembered this role in the whole drama.

Now seeing the real person, naturally, he couldn't help but take a few more glances, but he didn't stare at her, just looked at each other face to face when saying hello.

The current Zuo Xiaoqing is much younger than when she played Jing Ya, and has a bit of the flavor of Jiang Wenli when she was young.

At the same time, because she is too young, what we see now is more of her youthful and beautiful side.

The kind of intellectual beauty that amazed Yang Dongxu has not been seen yet. This requires the precipitation of time and experience.

"It just so happens that we have to change the scene and there is no filming in the afternoon. I will treat you to dinner." Yu Feihong said. Although Hengdian is Yang Dongxu's major shareholder, it is obviously her home court when she came to visit the set.

"Okay, there is a restaurant not far away that serves good roast duck. Let's go there and ask for a private room to eat." Ran Feifei and Yu Feihong are besties.

So Yu Feihong wanted to treat her, and she didn't hesitate to say what she wanted to eat.

Then everyone looked at Yang Dongxu.

"Then let's eat something, but are you going to eat roast duck or to find a chef?" Yang Dongxu teased with a smile.

Yu Feihong next to him couldn't help but laugh. Ran Feifei has two major hobbies, traveling and finding chefs.

She manages Yangjia Banquet not only to promote various cuisines, imperial cuisine and other high-end cuisines, but also to explore folk cuisine and even foreign cuisine.

If I come across something delicious while traveling, I will definitely poach the chef if I have the chance.

So now, in addition to some specific restaurants that only serve Chinese cuisine, in some other restaurants, various Western desserts, cheese, steak, foie gras, etc. are also signature dishes.

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 absorbing the strengths of hundreds of restaurants can it become a leader in the industry.

"You have eaten it, don't go, save some money for Feihong." Ran Feifei retorted.

"I didn't eat in the morning to eat this meal. I was really hungry just now, so I just ate some cold noodles to fill my stomach."
