There is a heated discussion in the society-there are nearly 200 thousand extras wandering around Hengdian, and they have only one dream in their hearts: "to be the next king!" "
In fact, the protagonists of Hengdian Studios are not stars and directors, but these "extras" are their stage. There are tens of thousands of group performances waiting in line for notice every day, including the school flowers of major schools, but most people still can't wait for the notice of the crew. Even if they can start work, they will only fish for three days and dry their nets for two days.
So what's the motive? Let these beautiful girls and young boys put down their "identities" and work hard here without complaint?
Some of them really like acting. For their ideals, this is the beginning of their dreams.
But more, because they want to be a first-line star, which is their motivation.
People's instinct, knowing that the chance of winning the prize is only one in a million, still believes that they are the luckiest one.
Walking in the streets of Hengdian Film and Television City, we can easily find that there are men and women among the young people who are eating steamed buns and drinking boiled water, and most of them are heading for the dream of "stars". They don't have formal training in regular class performances, and they don't have many contacts and resources. Although there are many handsome men and beautiful women, their future development is very slim. These people wait for the selection of the crew day after day, and in the end their salary is only a hundred dollars, even worse than working in a factory; Sometimes I meet a black-hearted director. Not only do they not get paid, but they also have to pay their own transportation expenses.
Most of them come from all corners of the country. Their fathers sweated and worked hard in construction sites, factories and fields, but they didn't want to repeat the days when their predecessors lived frugally. After all, that kind of life is too lonely and bitter. In school textbooks and TV plays, they see the hope of a new life, so some people have a fever and think their youth is worth fighting for.
However, their struggle is to stay in Hengdian, waiting for the pie to fall one day.
But there is no doubt that Hengdian Studios has now developed into the world's largest film and television shooting base.
On the one hand, Hengdian is indeed a well-deserved "Oriental Hollywood", because it is home to the best directors, screenwriters and actors in the country and produces thousands of film and television works every year. On the other hand, Hengdian is really a bachelor's paradise, and even many people have not been in love until they are forty years old. They joked with each other and talked about their future lovers. Some people are still single at the age of 60, but they don't feel behind the times. As long as they can make a living every day, they will get along day by day until they get old.
In particular, we can see that there are many beautiful women who are willing to squat on the ground and eat lunch boxes, with exquisite appearance and figure. They all want to change their fate in this way, but most of them are of no help. How many wasted days have a dream hidden? ...
It is such a job with almost no future that hundreds of thousands of people are obsessed with it.
This reminds me of a passage about Li Meng in the third season of the variety show "I am an Actor" broadcast a few days ago.
In the program, Zhang Jizhong revealed Li Meng's "making things difficult" behavior in the cast of "White Deer Plain", which led to a series of responsibilities about the mentor and Li Chengru in the third season of "I am an actor".
Li Meng, a little-known actor, became one of the few actors in the film and television circle who was "praised" soon after his debut. But then, all kinds of news about Black Li Meng emerged one after another.
Of course, the truth will never be defeated by rumors. On social media, there are also directors who have worked with Li Meng to speak for her, but the facts and truth of the matter are never controlled by the parties, but often the parties are under pressure.
This can't help but remind me of many cases in which young actors who worked hard in the entertainment circle died suddenly due to various pressures and suffered from depression. They are full of "star dreams" (it can be said that nine out of ten extras want to be stars), so they come here to work hard. But this is not practical at all. As I said above, their monthly income is about 1500.
1what can 500 yuan do in this society? Therefore, when there is no performance opportunity, they can only make a living by taking delivery, delivering express, working as waiters and porters. At the beginning of choosing this industry, most group performances were scrambling to become the next king, but how many people can do it among the 200 thousand drifters?
Everyone has the right to pursue his ideal life. Since you want to be better than others, you have to pay more than others. This is an eternal truth, but like them, most of us, as "little people", will appear very small in the face of absolute strength and pressure.
People with dreams deserve respect, but dream stars are really far away from ordinary people. It is the life goal of young people to seek a suitable job and give up the fantasy of aiming too high.
