Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 340 Treasure Actor, Dakang Secretary Wu Gang.

"Have you heard that Chen Cheng has taken on another awesome TV series?"

"Oh, yeah, yeah, what's your name?"

"I don't know, but this TV series was ordered by the higher-ups, and I heard it's a very large production."

"anything else?"

"Well, I just know this bit of information, I don't know the details."

Let’s talk about why people in China like Chen Cheng so much.

In fact, everyone knows that given Chen Cheng’s identity, he doesn’t like filming TV series.

There are a lot of movies waiting for Chen Cheng to deal with.

But for everyone's sake, Chen Cheng is still willing to produce TV series.

Now I heard that Chen Cheng is preparing to make another TV series.

Thinking of the just concluded "My Love from the Star", everyone couldn't help but feel excited.

“I really don’t know what this TV show is like.”

"Well, many people always think that TV dramas are low-level, but that's because they haven't reached Chen Cheng's level."

"Exactly. Look at "My Love from the Star". Not only the ratings but also the money-making capacity are not inferior to other popular movies. It may even make more money."

"I just want to say, I'm looking forward to seeing if there's any more news."

"I also want to know."

Just a pity.

For now, Chen Cheng has just received this drama.

So there is not much information about this drama from the outside world.

But this does not affect the anticipation of this drama at all.

until.

When the news of the project "In the Name of People" was announced and the work would be labeled as "Chen Cheng's work".

Thousands of fans were excited once again.

"A Chen Cheng production. Holy shit, this TV show is going to be a hit."

"Of course. Chen Cheng has good taste. If he takes a fancy to someone, then he will definitely make him popular."

“I even wonder if it will be more popular than My Love from the Star.”

Not to mention Chen Cheng's works.

As long as it is a work produced by Chen Cheng, it will definitely be good.

Not to mention.

At this time, the four words "Chen Cheng's Works" were also posted.

of course.

The appearance of these four words also stimulated the circle.

A number of stars, actors, directors... were also discussing the matter.

"Hello everyone, In the Name of the People, what type of drama is this?"

"I'm not sure. Judging from the name, it looks like an urban drama."

“It’s a city, but I don’t know what kind of city it is.”

“That’s hard to guess, but you can tell it’s the main theme at a glance.”

"I think so. Now I understand a little bit what Chen Cheng meant by the main theme."

"What do you mean?"

"Uh...this."

"Don't keep it to yourself, share it with us."

"What do you have to share? I only know a little bit, so I won't embarrass myself by showing it to you. But the key point now is that I think you should take some action."

"What action?"

"For example, see if I can be involved in this film."

"Oh, I have sent my resume to the Chenying Film Company email."

"My day..."

Needless to say.

Such a drama.

Even though the information he has released now is very little.

But it caused an incredible sensation in the circle.

Some directors just sent their resumes directly.

of course.

Sending a resume doesn’t mean they want to be a director.

But they know.

Not to mention their status, even top directors might not have a chance.

The reason why they sent it was actually simple.

If I can’t be a director, can I be an assistant director?

If I can't be an assistant director, can I be an assistant director?
Although they know.

In other dramas, they are the directors.

But what a play this is.

Who is Chen Cheng?

Don't even mention being an assistant director or an assistant director.

Even if you can do something simple in this drama, it will be a good resume.

This is for some directors and behind-the-scenes producers.

For some actors, they were even more excited.

"Did any actors audition for Director Chen Cheng?"

"Brother, the project has just been launched, how can we audition so quickly? I guess we still have to wait for a while."

"How about we recommend ourselves?"

"I have this idea too."

Among them, most are first- and second-tier actors, some are even top actors.

they know.

As long as you act in a drama about Chen Cheng, you'll become famous.

of course.

It's not just them, either.

Various brokerage companies, film and television companies... they all came out in droves, hoping to get some roles in Chen Cheng's new drama.

Such as Long Wu in Hong Kong.

However, he called Chen Cheng immediately.

"Brother Long, ok."

"Chen Cheng, I heard that you are planning to make another TV series."

"Yes, the project has just been launched."

"In the name of the people?"

"Correct."

"What kind of show is this?"

“I can’t say the details now, I can only say that it is similar to “My Fathers and I” in terms of the main theme.”

"The main theme is good. After watching your "My Fathers and I", I now understand how profitable the main theme can be."

"Making money is another matter. The main thing is that the main theme is what everyone loves the most."

"really."

Long Wu nodded: "Have you considered the actors here?"

"Brother Long, what do you mean?"

"Hua Zai, Chao Wei...as long as you want, you can choose any actor you want."

“Brother Long, I’m shooting a TV series here. You’re getting me such a big actor. They don’t seem to be shooting TV series.”

"Haha, it depends on who's producing the TV show. As long as you ask, they can play any role."

"..."

Chen Cheng was a little embarrassed, but still said: "Brother Long, this film is mainly about the mainland. It's not that actors from Hong Kong are not allowed, but actors from Hong Kong are too famous. For example, Hua Zai, Chao Wei Wei... Everyone knows that he is a Hong Kong actor at a glance, which is a little different from the positioning of our drama. For this TV series, I plan to use all mainland actors."

"Is that so? That's fine. Let's go to Xiangjiang for tea sometime when we are free."

"Okay, Brother Long."

Long Wu hung up the phone.

Chen Lan asked, "Did Chen Cheng refuse?"

"Ah."

"This guy is too disrespectful. A top star in Hong Kong can't even get a role in a TV series?"

"You can't say he didn't give me face. He said this is a mainland drama and it's not suitable to add Hong Kong elements."

"I think it's just an excuse."

"It's not really an excuse. I still trust Chen Cheng's character."

but.

After Long Wu finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh.

Although he knew that Chen Cheng was not making up an excuse.

But he also knew.

Hong Kong films are definitely in decline.

It's not just Hong Kong films that are in decline.

The entire Hong Kong film industry has also declined.

……

What do you think of Long Wu?

Chen Cheng didn't know.

Even if you know.

Chen Cheng wouldn't think much about it.

The decline of Hong Kong films is inevitable and it will never return to its former peak.

I thought about it.

Chen Cheng took out a pen and paper and drew up a list of some main characters.

Some of the people on this list have played in "In the Name of People" in their previous lives.

There are also some that I have never played before.

But it was the same as what Chen Cheng had imagined before.

In the drama "In the Name of People", all actors must be mainland actors.

Otherwise, if Andy Lau were to play an official among the mainland actors, or other mainland characters, it would actually destroy the style of the entire film.

"Xu Ya-ting."

"Zhang Zhijian."

"Wu Gang..."

Look at the lists that have been prepared.

Chen Cheng smiled. These are some treasure actors.

If it weren’t for the drama "In the Name of People", many people probably wouldn’t know about it.

……

"Runner-up, have you taken any films recently?"

"Look, I'm almost 50, what kind of movie would be interested in me?"

"50 is very popular. After all, you are a top student who graduated from the Central Academy of Drama."

"What a top student! He can barely afford to eat."

Actor Xu Yaqiang had a small gathering with his friends.

Speaking of Xu Yaqiang.

He is not as well-known as other actors.

Although he won the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor as early as 86.

But that was almost 30 years ago.

Nowadays, no one knows Xu Yaqiong's name.

Fortunately, Xu Yaqiang’s acting skills are good.

Although he hasn't gotten any good roles in recent years, he has performed well in playing some important supporting roles in a number of TV dramas.

But a pity.

Because there have been no opportunities.

No matter how well he plays a supporting role, there are still not many people paying attention to him.

"By the way, Ya-Tian, ​​have you heard about Chen Cheng's new film recently?"

"Of course I haven't heard of In the Name of the People. It is said that this film was designated by the higher-ups and the specifications are very high."

"How's it going? Do you have any ideas?"

"Pfft... Lao Liu, you are trying to make me laugh to death. What's the point of having ideas? Director Chen Cheng probably doesn't even know who I am."

"It's normal not to know, but we can recommend ourselves. I heard that many actors have sent their resumes to the email address of Director Chen Cheng's company."

"heard."

"Why don't you try it too."

"How can I try?"

Xu Yaqi shook his head: "I estimate that there are at least 800 people who have recommended themselves this time, if not 1,000. How can Chen Cheng have so much time to review them one by one?"

"That being said, it's always an opportunity. Besides, it would be a shame if your acting skills were buried."

"It doesn't matter if I'm buried or not, as long as I can have food to eat, I feel pretty good."

Xu Yazhen said so.

But deep down, I was actually quite touched.

Which actor doesn't want to stand out?

Which actor doesn't want to be noticed?

But sometimes.

This is the reality.

You can’t become famous just because you want to.

You can’t get any role you want.

Even if you know that many actors have poor acting skills, in various ways... they are still very popular.

But so what?
This is the current situation in this circle.

If you are dissatisfied with this.

Then, it will be difficult for you to survive in this circle.

Say.

Xu Yaqi, who is almost 50 years old, has seen through things a little bit.

If you are not famous, then don’t be famous.

At least there is still a movie to be filmed.

Compared with other actors in the circle, he is not too embarrassing.

"Ya'an, you really need to think about it. I heard some news."

"what news?"

"Do you know what kind of drama In the Name of People is?"

“Urban drama.”

"What kind of city is it, do you know?"

"It doesn't say, but it's probably the main theme type. Lao Liu, do you have any more specifics?"

"Yes."

A friend named Lao Liu said, "I heard that the Supreme People's Procuratorate invited Chen Cheng to this drama."

"Supreme People's Procuratorate? Anti-corruption?"

"clever."

A friend patted Xu Yaqi's shoulder and said, "I told you that you are smart. This is about anti-corruption and realistic themes. I have watched the movies you have starred in recently and I found that your acting skills have improved a lot compared to ten years ago. I think you are just missing an opportunity. If you seize it, you will definitely become famous."

"Old Liu."

"Ya Ding, really...some opportunities need to be fought for by yourself."

"This……"

Xu Yaqi raised his glass and toasted to Lao Liu.

He was persuaded by Lao Liu.

although.

He knew that even if he recommended himself, he might not have a chance.

But who knows?
No matter what, you have to give it a try.

just.

Just when Xu Yaqiang was about to go back and send a resume to Chen Ying Company...Xu Yaqiang's cell phone rang.

This is Xu Yaqi's email sound. He received a new email.

I didn't care too much about it.

He thought it was an internal email from the agency.

In no mood.

When he clicked on it, he found the logo of Chen Ying’s company appeared on it.

"Chen Ying Movie?"

Excited, Xu Yaqi called out: "Old Liu, can you help me check if this is a Chen Ying movie?"

Old Liu felt a little strange and came over.

When Lao Liu saw the email that Chen Film Company invited Xu Yaqi to audition, his eyes popped out.

"Ya-Tian, ​​is Chen Ying Films asking you to audition?"

"Seems to be."

"Fuck, were you just pretending to be stupid in front of me?"

"Why are you pretending to be stupid?"

"What do you think? I was trying to persuade you to recommend yourself, but you just took out the invitation letter from Chen Ying's movie. Can you be a decent person?"

"Lao Liu, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding... You know what happened just now. I just received this email."

"Get lost, you're just pretending. Seriously, I'm jealous now."

of course.

That’s what my friend said.

But when he saw Xu Ya-ting received the email, he was also very excited: "Ya-ting, seize the opportunity, this is an invitation. Chen Ying Films can invite you to audition, which proves that you have a great chance."

"Ah."

"Come on, let's have a drink. Congratulations in advance on getting the role and giving us old bones some pride."

"Thank you."

……

It's not just Xu Yat-chen.

Another actor, Zhang Zhijian, who received the invitation, was also extremely shocked.

He is the same as Xu Yateng.

He is even doing worse than Xu Yazhen.

Xu Yaqiang has been acting for so many years and was once the leading male role.

But since his debut, Zhang Zhijian has always played supporting roles.

An actor like him.

He is just a nobody in the circle.

Not to mention that Chen Cheng wouldn't notice it.

Some other directors may not even remember his name.

He once thought that this email was sent by Chen Ying Film by mistake.

Fortunately, it was confirmed at the end.

This email is real. It is indeed an audition invitation sent to him by Chen Ying Film.

……

but.

However, a funny thing happened to one of the actors.

The actor's name is Wu Gang.

When Wu Gang received the invitation letter from Chen Ying Film, he deleted it directly.

Wu Gang is a drama actor.

He himself hasn't acted in many film and television dramas.

Wu Gang's first reaction to a company of the level of Chenying Film was that it was a scam.

of course.

If it was a few years earlier.

Maybe Wu Gang doesn't think so.

Wu Gang has even worked with Chen Cheng before, although he only played a small role.

But Chen Cheng's current status is something that people look up to.

Wu Gang didn't think that Chen Cheng could remember an actor like him.

For fraudulent emails.

No matter how true what he said was, Wu Gang would not believe it.

However, Wu Gang thought that he could just delete the email.

I didn't think so.

In the evening, he learned that his wife Yue Xiuqing had also received an audition invitation from Chen Ying Film.

This made Wu Gang very angry.

It would be fine if they just cheated themselves, but I didn't expect these guys would even cheat on their wives.

These scammers are awful.

That night, Wu Gang made an anti-fraud complaint call.
