Chapter 28: If there is a choice, who wants to be a licking dog?
The opening ceremony.
Director Er was standing in position C, with two green-looking young people standing on either side of him.
The man with extremely ordinary looks is called Wan Peng, and the woman with decent looks is called Wang Ting, but not as good as Liu Yue.
When he arrived, Lin Yuan found out that these two people were the leading actors in the movie "The Passerby".
As one of the non-starring actors, Lin Yuan, he stood in a rather awkward position, in the middle of the last row.
Fortunately, he is tall, so in future group photos for publicity, he will still stand out.
After taking the photo, someone took out a huge stick of incense.
Director Er took the incense very seriously, bowed sincerely in all directions, turned around and inserted it into the incense burner.
This ceremony ends.
Next is the exciting part for the whole audience.
I saw that Director Er, with the help of his assistant, first received two big red envelopes, which seemed to be at least 10,000 yuan in thickness.
These two red envelopes are also for Wan Peng and Wang Ting respectively.
After them, it was the other actors.
Depending on the importance of their role in the crew, everyone receives different red envelopes.
For example, Lin Yuan's red envelope is worth one thousand and eighty yuan.
The young man standing next to him had one thousand and two.
However, the minimum is not less than one thousand, and Director Er is quite generous in this area.
Looking at the red envelope in his hand, Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement in his heart. This was the first time he had received a red envelope from the crew to start the movie.
For him, it was as if his life had set a milestone at this moment. The bright red envelope seemed to herald the arrival of hope. In the near future, he would stand out and become a big star sought after by countless people.
He was not the only one who felt the same way.
At a glance, every person present who received a red envelope had obvious changes in their eyes.
As Lin Yuan, who is on the same ladder, he understands how everyone is feeling now. From the perspective of these people, what they are holding tightly in their hands is not a red envelope containing money, but a ray of dawn!
After the ceremony.
Director Er didn't talk nonsense, let everyone rest for a while, and started to turn on the computer after lunch.
It's just past eleven now, so it's normal to take a break.
Because they no longer have a supporting role in the play, every supporting actor present enjoys the treatment that an actor deserves in advance.
Everyone was taken into the lounge that the crew rented specially for money.
The air conditioner was blowing, and there were plenty of cold drinks on the table.
The only difference is that no one present has an assistant to serve him.
But some people are born to follow the crowd.
No, not long after entering the theater and their buttocks were still hot, several actors who almost had minor roles in the crew stood up immediately.
Their goal is very clear, that is Wanpeng.
Four or five people gathered around Wan Peng and began to compliment him.
"Brother Peng, I told you when you first came to Hengdian that you would definitely achieve great things. I didn't expect that just half a year after you came here, you were chosen by the director to become the leading male lead in the play. It just made us happy.
These people are beyond their reach."
"Brother Peng, if you become famous in the future, don't forget us miserable brothers."
"Brother Peng, if you have anything to do in the future, remember to tell me to do it. I am also free when I am free."
The circle of people at the bottom is very realistic.
There are not so many intrigues and intrigues.
Some people just brag about whoever is awesome, and lick whoever gets up.
Before he was selected by Director Er to become the male lead, Wan Peng was just like everyone present, just a walk-on.
He even said that he is not as good as many people here in terms of income, status or face.
Now he has transformed and become the male lead in the drama directed by you, and his status has increased immediately.
For the big shots in the crew, he is just a lucky guy.
But in the circle of low-level supporting players, he is now the big brother and the future star.
Anyone who can make a name for himself here is definitely not stupid. Everyone knows that, even if Wan Peng is like this now, after this movie is released, with the reputation of director Er and his ability, Wan Peng will definitely
If you can become famous, even if there is no big fire, you can still make a small fire. Whether it is a small fire or a big fire, if you put it among these people, it will be a meteoric rise and a steady rise to the top.
In this case, if these people don't lick it, it will be too late.
This time can be said to be the best time for them to get closer. If they wait a little later for others to become popular, these people know very well that they may not even be qualified to stand in front of others and speak in the future.
Humans are group animals.
One person took the lead in boasting, and some of the other onlookers couldn't hold back.
They were a little arrogant at first, just thinking that Wanpeng was lucky, but seeing so many people licking others, their willpower gradually wavered, and they slowly chose to be the person they hated the most.
There were about twenty people in the whole room.
Except for Lin Yuan and three or four others, the other dozen or so people had already gathered around Wan Peng.
At the beginning, Wan Peng was a little uncomfortable with it.
His life rushed from the trough to the clouds in an instant, without giving him time to react.
But as everyone around him rushed to please him, he slowly began to accept it.
In this situation.
Someone also asked a key question.
"Brother Peng, how did you get noticed by Director Er?"
When this question came up, it immediately attracted everyone present, including Lin Yuan.
He also wants to know how the other party was selected!
Wan Peng was stunned for a moment when faced with this question. Just when he was about to answer truthfully, someone started to flatter him.
"Look what you're asking, why does Director Er like Brother Peng? It's not because our brother Peng has good acting skills, good image, and strength!"
As soon as these words came out.
Many people are as disgusted as eating flies, but the irony is that these disgusting people all agree with it with smiles like chrysanthemums.
"Yes, yes!"
"That's right!"
"That's it."
Under the flattery, Lin Yuan, who was sitting in his seat, noticed that the other person's eyes changed in an instant.
There was a bit of embarrassment and confusion in Wan Peng's eyes before.
Wan Peng's eyes look much more natural now, as if he has completely adapted to this environment.
In this state.
Wan Peng did not choose to answer honestly, but started to perform.
His posture began to become a little arrogant, which was not difficult to detect from his tone. There was no trace of humility, but more of showing off.
"It's nothing, it's just that during the interview, the director felt that I fit the image of the character and let me pass the preliminary audition."
"Later, I was asked to try it out again, and I was given ten minutes to watch a scene."
"I'll start performing after watching it."
"After the performance, the director slammed the table and pointed at me and said, it's me."
"Don't tell me, I was shocked at the time. I thought I had made a mistake in my performance. I didn't expect that the director acted very realistically and gave him a very good sense of the camera!"
How long does it take to change a person? Wan Peng's performance gave Lin Yuan a realistic answer to this question.
As he finished.
Lin Yuan did not look down upon the other party, nor did he show disdain or show doubts.
What he has is just a little bit of jealousy and sourness!
Less than six months after he came to Hengdian, he became the leading actor in a drama directed by me.
I came to Hengdian for two years and awakened my powers, but ended up with a male sixth? Male seventh?
In this comparison, you said that there is no jealousy or sourness in your heart. Is this realistic? This is not realistic.
It is no exaggeration to say, of all the people present, which one is not jealous? Which one is not bitter?
The only difference is that Lin Yuan was simply jealous of the other party's luck, while many people present felt more unfair after being jealous.
Let's put it this way.
Don't look at these people bragging like crazy now.
In my heart, it was definitely a very unpleasant scolding.
Acknowledging the excellence of others is a difficult thing in itself, let alone acknowledging the excellence of someone who is worse than yourself. This is even more uncomfortable than killing them.
It's just that the deal is done and they have no choice.
As the old saying goes, if you have a choice, who would want to be a licking dog?
