I do whatever I want in the entertainment industry

The old gentleman waited for his handwriting to dry before putting away the piece of paper before he asked, "What's the matter, so serious."

Bai Liang was serious for less than three seconds, and said with a smile: "I just want to ask you how many actors you want. I recently read a good movie script, and I plan to win an international award. As for actors, I don't really want to use those vacancies in the entertainment industry." There are celebrities who are famous but not powerful, one, three, five ask for leave, and two, four, six stand in, so I plan to find some eye-catching people among your students, which can be regarded as mutual benefit and win-win."

After hearing this, the old gentleman disapproved very much: "Don't think about my students, they are all good young people with good roots, and they will not enter the entertainment industry."

Bai Liang said hello, and explained to him: "Teacher, please listen to me first. Since it is a matter of mutual benefit and win-win, then I know your principles, so I will definitely not violate you."

The old man glared at him, waved his hands and said, "Say what you say, let's see what you can come up with."

Bai Liang sat down on the wooden chair in the study, and explained his plans to the old gentleman one by one.

"It's like this. The script of the movie is not a traditional commercial film. It's set at the beginning of the last century. The content is about the revival of Shaolin martial arts culture, so the martial arts scenes account for a large proportion of the whole play. You also know that the entertainment industry is popular nowadays. Each of them is well-mannered, and when the wind blows over a few hills, they have to push back and forth in an action scene, and they have to act as substitutes for all important shots. Please pass the quality test. I think you have a few brothers and sisters with good skills. If you invite them to act, I will pay them the normal salary of the industry. I will not interfere with their private time excessively, and I will not force them to go to sponsors. Dinner. In this way, I can earn them some money and live a better life. Secondly, it is also to increase the popularity of the drama theater. If they become famous for making this movie, I will announce their status as drama actors, and they will concentrate on it in the future Acting in a drama can also attract audiences to watch it. If there are more audiences, the revival of the drama industry will be just around the corner. And I can also use excellent actors with strength, save time and cost, improve the quality of the movie, and kill two birds with one stone. What do you think? "

The old man snorted and said, "Your idea is pretty good. They entered the entertainment circle, can they still follow their own temper? Haven't I seen the face of an investor before?"

Bai Liang: "Oh, teacher, I'm the one who invested in this movie. Even if other sponsors want to get involved, it will have to depend on my face in the end. You don't have to worry so much. Anyway, you give me the person and shoot the movie." After it's over, I guarantee that they will return it to you unchanged except for the hair."

The old man paused while stroking his beard, and asked in confusion, "Why except the hair?"

Bai Liang couldn't laugh or cry when asked this question, and explained: "Because of the needs of the plot, you may have to shave your head. You are not so stingy that you don't even let me move your hair."

Hearing this, the old man stared at him for a long time and asked him, "Do you want to shave too?"

Bai Liang took it for granted: "That's for sure, the protagonist was a Shaolin disciple from the beginning."

The old man shook his head and said: "Then what if your fans can't accept your bald head? Aren't actors in your entertainment industry very important to their appearance and behavior? They often make fans dissatisfied because of what they do. It's terrible to be scolded bloody."

Bai Liang stroked his hair and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it's necessary for filming. I'm an actor, and popularity is second. It's my duty to play a good role."

The old man agreed with what he said very much, nodded his head and said: "Yes, the duty of an actor is to play his own role well. Like the old actors I know, they have been filming TV dramas all their lives. They don’t have much fame, they don’t make much money, and they don’t even have a representative work. The roles they play can make the audience admire or hate them, and they don’t care how the audience criticizes their roles. It’s too appropriate, and they have to bear the life attacks of the audience, but they never care about these comments, and even feel that they are hated by the audience, which is the recognition of their acting skills.”

Bai Liang listened to him very seriously, and nodded in agreement: "In fact, many TV dramas, without the silent contributions of these veteran actors, probably would not have been able to be filmed. A film and television work should not focus on the main actors and extras. , Divide the actors of the crew into three, six, and nine grades. Some actors take the highest pay, play the most relaxing scenes, and enjoy the popularity of the whole crew, while the actors who play thankless scenes, even help out. No one with water."

The old gentleman sighed and said, "The teacher feels very relieved that you have such an idea, so when you said that you wanted to enter the entertainment circle and become an actor or a star, I strongly disagreed. If you meet Bole, your career as an actor will be open from now on." It’s easy to say, if you run into walls everywhere and waste a few years of youth in the entertainment industry, you can’t achieve anything, you can’t learn anything, and you can’t get anything in the end, and you lose your ideals. Fortunately, you are lucky, the first A work is so good, it can still be the leading role in a TV series broadcast on national TV."

Bai Liang said triumphantly: "That's right, the fortune-telling master also said that if I meet the noble person I'm destined for, I will be able to go smoothly. I think I must have met that person before I knew it." My lord."

The old man doesn't believe in fortune telling, he thinks it's superstition, seeing Bai Liang is so complacent, he can't help but want to pour cold water on him, let him calm down, don't be complacent, and stagnate.

"These are all superstitions. What matters is whether people are noble or not. It depends on man's efforts. Man can conquer nature. You, you should not be too proud. You must know that there is a sky outside of the sky, and there are people outside of people. No matter how the outside world flatters you, don't take it too seriously. Set up in your heart. Don’t compare yourself with others, but compare yourself with your ideal self, so that you will know whether you have made progress or regressed.”

Bai Liang nodded humbly again and again: "I know, teacher, don't worry, so would you like to lend me a few actors, even old actors, I promise I will not treat them badly!"

Seeing the sincerity on his face, the old gentleman couldn't hold him back. As someone who watched him grow up, he knew exactly how much he weighed. If he didn't agree to him, he could use hundreds of ways to achieve his goal. The most commonly used one is to play tricks and play tricks.

But the old gentleman didn't dare to guarantee it. He was still reluctant to let his students enter the entertainment industry, so he could only give Bai Liang this answer: "I will mention it to them. If they are willing to go, I will let them go." Go, if you don't want to, I won't speak for you."

Seeing his relaxed attitude, Bai Liang nodded quickly: "Don't worry, as long as they are willing to come, I won't wrong them. Teacher, please send me the list when the time comes, and I will ask my assistant to arrange auditions and negotiate conditions."

After the two of them talked about their business, they heard the teacher's wife outside the living room shouting: "You two have finished talking, the tea is getting cold, why don't you hurry up and eat something?"

Bai Liang responded, and resumed his usual vivacity, and said to the old gentleman with a playful smile: "Teacher, let's go out to eat. I'll go first. I'll eat all the delicious food."

He ran away as soon as he spoke. The old man was not as flexible as him, so he could only slowly follow behind him, shaking his head and sighing as he walked: "This kid is still so immature."

The teacher's wife put the cut fruit in front of Bai Liang, and greeted him with a smile: "Xiao Nian, eat more, you look thin, you must be very tired from work recently, you can't eat well at home, or why don't you eat it today?" Let's have dinner at Shimu's house tonight, Shimu will make you your favorite fried pork with green onions."

Bai Liang couldn't bear to refuse the old man's kindness, not to mention the ardent look on his wife's face, so he agreed, and said to his wife: "I will call home at that time and say that I won't go back to eat, and I will stay with you tonight, teacher's wife." It's time to eat here."

The teacher's wife smiled and said, "I'm afraid you won't come to eat. After a year, there will only be me and your teacher at home. It's so deserted."

Bai Liang knew that the children of the teacher's family were all working out of town, and they seldom came back because they were too busy. The two old people were also quite lonely.

After he agreed, he took out his mobile phone and sent Shen Heng a WeChat message: I'm spending dinner at the teacher's house tonight, so I won't go home to eat, you have to obediently eat on time, and pick me up after dinner!

Shen Heng quickly replied to him: Got it, don't be willful and picky when eating at other people's homes like at home, understand?

Bai Liang: I understand, I understand, don't keep treating me like a child!

Shen Heng: Who used to emphasize that he was still a child?

Bai Liang: Yes, yes, yes, I am your sweetheart who will never grow up.

Shen Heng: Really cute.

Bai Liang: ...

Because there were guests at home, the old gentleman and his wife went to the kitchen to make preparations very early. Bai Liang was going to help, but the old gentleman glared at him and blew his beard and said to him: "Do you know how to cook? You, why are you here to join in the fun?" , go back and wait."

Bai Liang refused to leave the door, and the villain complained first: "Isn't it because I have been performing with you since I was a child, so I didn't stay at home for a long time and didn't have the opportunity to learn to do housework and cooking. It's not all up to you."

When the old man saw his cheating, he thought of his little grandson, and there was nothing he could do about it. In the end, his wife spoke to Bai Liang, "Xiao Nian, you should watch TV first, you young people Don’t you all like to watch TV dramas? It’s good that you and I are here to help, the kitchen can’t stand if there are too many people.”

Bai Liang looked at the small kitchen of less than five square meters. There was a stove, a disinfection cabinet and other things in it, and there was only a palm-sized space left. The two old people would touch each other when they turned around. , Bai Liang thought of his kitchen again, it was spacious enough for ten people to come in and out.

However, the remuneration of drama actors themselves is lower than that of actors in TV dramas and movies. If they don’t perform on weekdays, they get the basic salary allocated by the above. The old man has been busy all his life, so he can only provide some funds for his children to settle down. He was reluctant to buy a new house in city B where there was a lot of money and land. Houses in City B can easily cost millions of dollars, and many drama actors may not be able to afford it after working hard for a lifetime.

Bai Liang once thought about buying a low-rise house for the elderly in the Municipal People's Park, a large apartment of more than 100 square meters, with a balcony and a small garden, and allowing the elderly to grow something in the small yard To pass the time, but the old man and his wife were too precious and declined Bai Liang's kindness.

What they said at the time seemed to be asking him to leave more money for himself. He was alone and helpless. If something happened, he could only rely on himself for everything, and there were many places where he needed money. And they have pension insurance, medical insurance, and children to support, so he doesn't need to worry about it.

Bai Liang obediently watched TV in the living room for a while. There were all kinds of TV dramas that started broadcasting during the winter vacation. Bai Liang turned from one to more than 100 TV shows. He couldn't find any to watch, and finally stopped on the news station.

He sat down for a while and insisted on going into the kitchen to clamor for help, but his wife gave him a basket of soybeans and asked him to help sort out the bad ones.

The soy beans in the basket were still dry, and if ordinary people could tell that they would definitely not eat them tonight, after all, the soy beans were hard and hard to cook without soaking them in hot water for several hours.The teacher's wife also used it to pass Bailiang.But Bai Liang didn't understand. Seeing that his wife asked him to help, he carried the basket happily and went out, carefully picking out the rotten beans with black spots according to his wife's instructions.

The teacher's wife thought that he could only settle down for a while at most, like a kitten fishing, but she didn't expect to come out a few times to pick up things in the middle, and saw him digging through the beans carefully, and didn't know whether to praise him for his concentration or praise him Sincerely.

Dinner was very early, the teacher's wife brought the dishes to the table, told Bai Liang to wash his hands and eat, Bai Liang washed his hands and put them on the table, seeing the home-cooked dishes on the table, his mouth was watering.

If he had been younger, Bai Liang would have dared to reach out to grab the vegetables directly. It's not like he hasn't done it before. When he was a teenager, he relied on the fact that he was the youngest in the teacher's house and was loved by the teacher and his wife. I have done a lot of things, and the teacher hit the back of my hand with chopsticks a few times.

He looked around and found that there seemed to be a dish missing, so he asked his wife who was still in the kitchen: "Mrs., is there still some soybeans left?"

The teacher's wife burst out laughing, and said to him, "I won't eat soybeans tonight."

Bai Liang let out a cry, completely puzzled: "Then why did you ask me to pick soybeans?"

The teacher's wife smiled and said, "Just to cure your ADHD, I will give you something to do."

Bai Liang was very aggrieved by this, and when he was about to leave, he was still listless, no matter how the teacher's wife coaxed him, she could only invite him to come back next time and make him cakes to eat.

He was a little happier now, and when he left, he hugged the old man and his wife so that they didn't have to send them off. His wife told him to walk carefully, don't fall, and stood at the stairs to watch him go down.

Bai Liang used the light of the street lamps to find out all the way out of the community. When he saw the black Mercedes parked at the corner outside the gate of the community, he knew it was Shen Heng's car. arms.

Shen Heng was taking a nap in the car, but suddenly there was something cold in his arms, he subconsciously hugged him into his arms, and asked while holding him, "Why is it so cold?"

Bai Liang smiled and leaned into his arms and said, "You won't be cold if you hug her."

Shen Heng touched his back, looked down at him and asked, "Did you eat well?"

Bai Liang hiccupped, and said to him: "I ate, I ate, my wife cooked a lot of dishes, I'm almost full, and you, did you eat?"

As he said that, he stretched out his cold claws to touch Shen Heng's clothes. His hands were so cold that Shen Heng's abdominal muscles tensed up suddenly, but he didn't get angry and asked him to take them out.

Bai Liang ate a few mouthfuls of tofu secretly, as if this could make up for his regret of being fooled by his teacher, and he was very happy for a while.

Little Sticky: Lao Gong has no way to work with peace of mind when he is by his side, all he wants is to hug him and hold him high, blah blah.
