I became famous in the entertainment industry by burning incense

Chapter 324: After being rejected repeatedly, Koi has his own clever plan (asking for monthly tickets)
Before Zhong Wentai's channels even started to work, he was the first to receive the good news from Deng Zexu.

After Deng Zexu's matchmaking, four countries were willing to introduce the copyright of "Dream Builders". The copyright holder who had previously purchased "And Then There Were None" also showed great interest after learning that "Dream Builders" was starring Jinli.

In recent days, the copyright holders have wanted to come for trial viewing and need "Dream Builders" to open up the source of the film.

Zhong Wentai immediately agreed, "I'll give you the USB drive and the password, you can open it directly and show it to them."

Deng Zexu's eyelids twitched, but he didn't dare to take the job, so he said, "No, no, you should send someone to broadcast it."

Zhong Wentai heard his unfinished meaning and couldn't help but smile: "Xiao Deng, you are too timid!"

Deng Zexu said with a chuckle: "I'm also afraid that the source of the video will be leaked accidentally. Haven't you guys reached an agreement on cooperation with the video company yet?"

The cooperation has not been finalized yet. If the original clear source of the film is available on the Internet, the crew will be in a passive position.

There was an incident in the circle before. When a movie was finished and about to be released, someone in the crew had a conflict with the producer.

In the end, that person took the opportunity to steal the edited film and deleted all the material, so that the film was never released.

Want to show it?

Let’s find the film first!
Sometimes the truth of things is just so outrageous.

Seeing that he refused, Zhong Wentai did not say much, but said: "I am also contacting other directors to see if they can recommend the copyright purchaser.

We will keep the overseas release a secret for now. I want to announce it after everything is settled, and then we can talk to the domestic video platforms.”

As soon as Deng Zexu heard this, he knew that Zhong Wentai wanted to use this incident as a bargaining chip to increase the weight of "Dream Builder" and obtain a more beneficial share of the profits.

He agreed without saying anything, "Okay, let's wait a while. I think other copyright holders are also very interested."

Deng Zexu thought that he had to build good relationships with the people in these copyright purchasing channels. After getting to know them, he could also promote his works to them when he wanted to release them online in the future.

On the other side, Jinli and others packed their luggage, took a short break, and returned to recording.

It is impossible to change the roles they are experiencing, and the people don't want them to change roles, so they can only follow the original theme and focus on experiencing various supporting roles.

When everyone gathered together to discuss where to go for the experience, Chen Lin was particularly indignant and vowed:
"Next time we will experience being a boss in the workplace, or a worker! The best thing is to be a producer or a director. We will shoot "Leisurely Slow Life" and the director and producer will come as guests!"

Qi Guan Mingzhu looked at him with amusement: "Do you think the program team will let you succeed?"

Chen Lin deliberately blinked at the camera: "Netizens should be on my side, right?"

The director looked at the comments in the live broadcast room and laughed uncontrollably.

Forget it, let’s not tell Chen Lin the real feedback and let him live in his beautiful fantasy forever.

After all, netizens in the barrage are already thinking about the next time Chen Lin takes over as the boss, and are giving advice to the program team on how to let "workers reorganize the workplace"!
Want to be a boss?

Workers: Stand up and sing, I will let you see why the flowers are so red!
The group decided to find a supporting role in a modern drama crew first.

Costume dramas are a bit inconvenient to put on makeup and change clothes, so I’m not considering them for now. I’ll try a modern drama first.

The modern crew was suggested by Jinli. She could act in any ancient or modern drama. When she was an actor, it was very common for her to stay in the crew in advance and wait for the filming to start.

She was thinking of the extra costumes in ancient costume dramas, many of which were shared by multiple people and the clothes might not be washed very frequently.

If March Day gets a supporting role that smells of sweat, that would be a terrible experience, so let’s first do a slightly better modern drama where they can wear casual clothes to shoot.

However, the premise for shooting in private clothes is that, as a supporting role, you should not be more like a domineering boss than the domineering boss, but be an ordinary passerby.

Hearing Jinli say that they could take private clothes for the photo shoot, everyone went back to their rooms and changed into another set of clothes.

Because of Jinli's advance reminder, everyone appeared in front of the live broadcast room again, all dressed very ordinary.

Black, white and grey are the most common color combinations. Wearing a hat and a mask, he looks no different from an ordinary person except that his figure looks more symmetrical.

[I am starting to feel confident again. All I need to be a star is a face! ]

[It is this face that makes a world of difference]

[I usually dress like this, I didn’t expect celebrities to dress like this too. I thought their private clothes were very fashionable.]

[Celebrities are also human beings. I saw the thin coat that Gu Cheng held. He wore this coat when he first debuted. I didn’t expect that he still wears this coat now. He has worn this coat for several years. It is really wearable! Gu Cheng is also very thrifty! ]

[I have bought clothes from this brand, they are very durable, they have not lost their shape after wearing them for ten years, highly recommended! ]

After everyone packed up, they set off together to the modern crew.

No one was wearing any makeup and appeared in the camera with their natural face, and their faces looked paler and more haggard than usual.

It was fine in March. Jinli and Qi Guanmingzhu were both a little pale, but after running for a while, they looked much better.

I thought it was a simple matter to find a supporting role, but...

As soon as I arrived at a modern drama group, I was stopped by the security guard standing outside before I even entered the park.

"Wait, what are you doing here? Fans are not allowed in!"

The security guard is quite old and doesn’t usually follow stars. Even if he did, he wouldn’t be able to recognize these “ordinary people” in front of him who were covered up tightly for a while.

Yan Xingdong said to the security guard, "Uncle, is this crew hiring security guards?"

The uncle's eyes widened immediately, and the others quickly looked at Yan Xingdong. What was happening?

Yan Xingdong realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly said, "No, I said the wrong thing. I meant extras! Is this crew still looking for extras? We are here to apply to be extras!"

The security guard glanced at them and shook his head seriously, "We are not recruiting extras. I haven't received any relevant notice. If you want to find extras, you shouldn't come to the crew. The crew recruits extras online.

When the time comes, we will call you to gather at a place, drive you away in a car, and bring you back when the work is done. If you want to play a minor role in the crew, then you can only..."

The uncle stopped talking here and waved his hand to drive them out: "Go, hurry up, this crew doesn't want extras!"

Before they could react, the netizens in the live broadcast room understood it first.

[Does this uncle still think that Yan Xingdong wants to steal his job? Hahaha! ]

[The uncle still has distrust and doubt in his eyes. Go away, go away, all of you! ]

[I know the kind of extras the uncle is talking about. I just signed up not long ago. After gathering, I'm taken away by the car. The most common way is to take me to an office building or a school playground.

The crew didn't ask us to do anything special. We just kept walking, running, and talking in one place. We could get 100 yuan a day, and that included water and lunch boxes!

It’s just too hot in the summer, and we’re always worried about getting heat stroke, so we strongly ask the crew to give us a high temperature subsidy! 】The first crew they approached was rejected, but they didn’t give up, and they immediately went looking for a second crew.

The crews in the film and television city are easy to find. The sets are arranged in pieces, and all gathered in this piece are modern crews.

After walking for a while, they found the second modern crew.

They were also stopped by security at the door, but this time they were more gentle and asked what they did.

Yan Xingdong didn't make a mistake this time and said honestly: "We came here to apply for the role of a supporting actor."

The security guard was amused: "You're applying for a job even for extras? You're all new, right?"

Luo Yi stepped forward and asked, "Brother, if the extras don't apply for the job, then where can I be an extra?"

The security guard glanced at them but didn't say much. He waved his hand and said, "Go check the news online. Hurry up and leave. This crew doesn't have any extra roles for you!"

The second crew was rejected, and everyone didn’t understand what was going on, so they walked to a pavilion, sat down, and discussed countermeasures.

Gu Cheng went online to look for information and discovered that the crew would often release news about extras on social platforms such as Xiaohongshu.

Interested people submit their information online, and if approved, they will be added to a communication group, which will announce the month, day and time to gather, and will clearly state the benefits and salary.

Because this type of scene is frequently switched, the supporting roles don’t necessarily have to come to the film and television city, and the actors don’t necessarily have to be present at the scene in person. They can just shoot the background with a lot of people and that’s it.

The extras who can run around in the crew will have slightly more important roles, probably to the extent of being transformed from a background wall to a passerby, and will occasionally appear on screen.

Except for Gu Cheng and Jinli, no one else had any experience in filming.

But when it comes to applying for a supporting role, these two people couldn't give any good advice.

Jinli spread her hands: "Don't look at me. When I first entered the industry, the crew designated me to play the second female role. After that, I took on female lead roles. Why don't we change the plan and apply for supporting roles instead? Maybe it will be easier."

Gu Cheng was also helpless and said succinctly: "I was the male lead in my first play. Although my presence was not strong, it was still the male lead."

Chen Lin was scrolling through his phone when he suddenly said, "Wait, why don't we recommend ourselves and join a certain group? I saw it said that many extras in many places are bought out by others, so we have to join them to get a role!"

Jinli immediately said no: "You can join the team, but the income will also be deducted. Those people can't bring you into the circle for no reason."

In order to save trouble, many crews outsource unimportant roles such as extras and have intermediaries fill the roles.

This has an advantage: it can reduce the burden on the crew and they don't have to be responsible for everything.

But the agents work on commission, and the remuneration for the roles obtained through them will be cut by the agents.

Now outsourcing is not only popular among film crews, but also applies to the workplace.

In order to reduce expenses, many companies outsource unimportant jobs and have outsourcing companies send people to them.

Here, the outsourcing company is the one that connects with the enterprise, so the enterprise only needs to pay the outsourcing fee and does not need to purchase social insurance and other related benefits for the employees recommended by the outsourcing.

Expenses such as social security and benefits are all paid to employees by outsourcing companies. The so-called reduction in labor costs is all reduced through outsourcing companies. It is impossible for outsourcing companies to pay their employees the same labor costs as enterprises.

For example, the employment cost of a contract worker recruited by an enterprise is 1.

Then the employment cost of the "dispatched worker" recommended by the outsourcing company is 0.5.

What’s more ridiculous is that the 0.5 is what the enterprise gives to the outsourcing company, and the outsourcing company has to take a portion, so there may only be 0.3 left for the employees.

The most outrageous thing is that some companies, in order to avoid annual salary increases for their employees, or requiring their employees to sign lifelong pension contracts based on a certain number of years of work, immediately ask their employees to sign another agreement after they have worked for them for seven years.

This agreement changes the employee's status from a "contract worker" to a "dispatched worker" of the outsourcing company.

In this way, the company gets rid of the redundant labor cost expenditure, but the risks are passed on to employees and outsourcing companies.

Of course, outsourcing companies are definitely making money, but the employees are the only victims.

The job content has not changed, but the benefits and salary have all been downgraded.

Although celebrities don’t know the concept of outsourcing, they also know that they will definitely get a commission for the resources they get through introductions from others.

Especially for teams that have already become big and strong, they can force actors to join the team in disguise.

If you don't join, the contractor can ensure that no film crew will hire you to play a supporting role.

It's just so cruel.

Qi Guan Mingzhu said: "What I am worried about is that all the crews will not look for extras from outside, and all of them will be monopolized by the production team."

Jinli thought for a while and shook her head slowly: "I don't think so. It's not necessarily that the crew doesn't want people. It's just that they didn't specifically notify the security guards to let job seekers come to the door. The security guards might think we are some star-chasers.

Maybe we show up in front of the director and ask if we can get a minor role, and the director will give it to us, and it will be a smooth thing for him. Ultimately, we still have to find a way to get into the crew."

Chen Lin: "Then how do we get in? It's impossible to climb over the wall, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, March Sky and the others turned to look at the wall, and shook their heads at the same time.

The wall is very high and we can’t climb over it.

Don’t ask them how they know. Who hasn’t climbed over a wall when they were young?
Jinli didn't know what she was thinking of. She smiled and said only one sentence: "It's okay to be polite. It's time to really test your acting skills."

The others looked at each other, not understanding what Jinli meant.

The live broadcast room was filled with comments at this moment, and everyone was guessing that Jinli must have thought of a solution.

【Hurry up and have fun! 】

[It has to be Jinli. Believe in Jinli's luck! ]

[Did they bribe the security guards with gifts to let them in? ]

[Impossible! The security guards won't let them in unless they are paid enough if they don't want to lose their jobs!]

Just when netizens were eager to watch the follow-up, the screen in the live broadcast room suddenly went black and the director team cut off the live broadcast.

Netizen:…

Here it comes, here it comes again, the feeling of wanting to beat someone up appears again!
Update is here, happy second day of the new year, work is so busy
