Chapter 113: The Bad Times

Hengdian.

The largest film and television base in Asia.

Nearly one-third of Huaxia's film and television dramas are produced in this place every year.

It is hard to imagine that twenty years ago, this place was just a wasteland.

"Twenty ghost soldiers are needed here, and those with a height of 170 and above are not needed."

"There is an urgent need for two maids, hurry up!"

"Big night show, get in the car if you want."

A few loaves of bread were squatted at the door somewhere, and the actors were taken away.

A few scattered extras are still waiting to work.

With the development of technology, most people are waiting in the group to live.

Those who are willing to run out here basically cannot find work, and there is an urgent need to squat here.

Usually at this time, if you are willing to come here to attract people, you will be given more money.

Xu Jia passed by in the car and was very moved when he saw this scene.

Everyone has the dream of Baoqiang, but there is only one Wang Baoqiang in Huaxia.

After that, there are very few people who came out of the group performance, and it is the only one who can reach the level of Wang Baoqiang.

Look at the current circle.

It's either the related household, or the one who brings capital into the group, and rarely leaves a ladder for the people below to climb up.

Not to mention anything else, go to Jingdian, Chinese opera and other art schools.

Even the second-tier art schools are basically monopolized by students from wealthy families.

"Mr. Xu, the film crew is in front of us. Producer Hou has always asked for closed shooting, so the management is stricter." The assistant said.

There is no way, Miao Yuqing's burden is getting heavier and heavier, and she can't accompany her at all.

This assistant was specially sent by "Langya Bang" to pick up Xu Jia.

"What progress have you made?" Xu Jia asked.

"The scene in Hengdian is almost finished shooting. According to Director Kong, there will be a transition in a week." The assistant said.

Xu Jia nodded. Since the Hengdian scene is almost finished, it means that most of the progress is over.

Soon to the crew.

Xu Jia motioned not to disturb others, so as not to disturb the filming, and walked in after a stroll.

The scene where Prince Jing and Mei Changsu had a long talk was being filmed.

"The turmoil in Jinling City has already risen, and I hope His Highness will make a decision early."

Hu Ge and Yang Yang were sitting opposite each other. In terms of this line alone, the former has put in a lot of effort.

Speaking of which, Yang Yang was asked to play King Jing before.

In fact, some are overkill, think about Yang Yang's arrangement later.

The male lead of "A Thousand Bone" and "Monster Hunt" have better resources than Lao Hu.

Xu Jia is also really willing to use resources to praise.

After all, age is here, it is the rising period of career, and it is also the time when it is easiest to attract fans. Moreover, the contract signed with the company, Jiaxing will get more benefits, who else will praise him?

On the other hand, Lao Hu only joined Jiaxing in name.

In fact, it is Jiaxing's partner, and the relationship between the two parties is not good enough.

In addition, Hu Ge's positioning is also a bit embarrassing. As a star in the TV drama circle, he is worse than Yang Yang in terms of plasticity.

Because the audience is more familiar with Hugo, this reduces the mystery that movie actors need most.

The audience wants to see the characters and immerse themselves in the plot.

The less interference you receive, the better, which is why most outstanding film actors are reluctant to appear in variety shows and get too much exposure.

Zhang Ziyi, Liu Ye, Huang Bo, Deng Chao, etc., after they appear on variety shows, they actually have an influence on the film resources. It's nothing more than light or heavy. Some people can make up for it, and some can't make up for it.

The former two simply shifted their focus to the family, and the latter two turned behind the scenes after making enough money.

But then again, if you have money, you don't make a bastard.

With the entry of capital, variety show invitation fees have repeatedly exceeded sky-high prices, and most people don't have the determination.

"When did you come here?"

At some point, Hou Hongliang was already standing by Xu Jia's side.

"It's not just arrived, I'm afraid it will disturb everyone's filming." Xu Jia laughed.

"I heard that you and Feng Xiaogang had a conflict. Shall I find someone to make peace with? It's better to resolve an enemy than to end it." Hou Hongliang persuaded.

"No need, I did it on purpose. If I don't want to offend him, I have to offend Wanda. Which one do you choose?"

Xu Jia explained, but Hou Hongliang was willing to help, which warmed his heart.

At least it shows that people really regard themselves as friends.

"Well, it's easier to make money in the industry now, and it's even more chaotic. I really don't know if it's a blessing or a disaster. This gang of capital players is much more ruthless than the coal bosses in the past. Everyone thinks they are meat. In fact, in their eyes, We are the meat, and now what we throw out and eat is just bait." Hou Hongliang sighed.

Xu Jia glanced at Lao Hou unexpectedly, but he didn't expect this guy to see it quite accurately.

With the urgency of this group of capital, it seems to have promoted the prosperity of the entertainment industry, but in fact it has overdrawn the future of the industry.

Wait until the money is enough and the chicken feathers are all over the floor.

They patted their buttocks and left, but what was left behind was devastated.

"What do you mean by that look in your eyes? Anyway, I used to be the chief manager of Shanying, so I still have some insight."

Hou Hongliang felt a little complacent when he noticed Xu Jia's eyes looking at him.

Ever since he met Xu Jia, he sometimes even felt that he was old and behind the times?

After all, Xu Jia's suggestions for "Langya Bang" have stepped on his heart every step of the way, and they are more perfect and excellent than his original idea.

This kind of person is simply born to attack people.

To be appreciated and recognized by the other party is enough to make Hou Hongliang proud.

"I just feel that it would be great if there were more insightful people like you in the circle. If this continues, you will only see the circle become more closed and become an amusement park for predators."

After Xu Jia finished speaking, he shook his head again: "Those guys may not be able to sense it. I'm afraid they all think that they will be the survivors. The one who gets rid of the drums and passes the flowers is the one who kills people because of greed."

"As long as there are benefits, there is no way to stop them. Even if they don't do it, others will do it." Hou Hongliang rarely defended his colleagues.

After all, Sunshine at Noon also made sacrifices and changes in order to embrace the market.

I chose "Langya Bang", which is more idol drama and has a fan base, and then "The Pretender" and "Ode to Joy", all of which seemed to be hits.

But compared with their team's previous works, "The Mansion Gate" and "Crossing the Guandong", these works are simply child's play.

"So, now is an era of comparison. If we are not bad, we are better than most companies."

Xu Jia threw the thoughts out of his mind, "Don't talk about these nonsense, I think you should finish the filming in a month or so, and the original crew will directly shoot "The Pretender" to save the trouble."

"However, I'm afraid Yang Yang can't continue to participate. Let's focus on his part first, and there are still three teams waiting for him to join."

Apart from staying away from the vortex of the capital, he came here this time to visit his own crew.

By the way, adjust the previous plan.
