MTL - You Don’t Understand The Pain Of Being Popular-Chapter 40 super fat

film and television city.

Yao Bianliang was wearing a peaked cap, walking on the road bored.

If it were any other place, Yao Bianliang wouldn't dare to wander around in such a crowded place, after all, with her current popularity, people would recognize her every minute.

However, this is a film and television city.

It's so normal to see a celebrity here, even if someone recognizes her, it's probably not surprising.

"Hey, I've been recruiting all morning, why didn't many people sign up?" Yao Bianliang was puzzled.

After discussing with Assistant Chen, Yao Bianliang decided to come to the film and television city to recruit actors.

She originally thought it would be a smooth affair, but in the morning, only a few people signed up!

Not only that, the few people who signed up were all good in all aspects, and Yao Bianliang really didn't want any of them.

"It's so difficult to find a decent actor." Yao Bianliang was a little helpless.

With the restrictions of the host's rules, she didn't dare to find someone with extremely poor acting skills to act as an actor. If it was too much, the system would not agree.

The best solution is to find an ordinary actor with average acting skills.

To put it bluntly, he has acting skills, but not much.

It can play a good role and not let people play; but it will definitely not perform well and resonate with the audience.

Most of the people who can maintain food and clothing in the film and television city have basic professionalism, and they have passed the basic acting skills.

Therefore, Yao Bianliang only needs to find the poorer group of people in this group, and it will be more perfect.

"Sister Liang, don't be too anxious, let's go over there and rest first," the assistant behind him whispered, "Brother Chen's contact person sent a recruitment message in the group chat of the group performance, maybe those who come to sign up in the afternoon That's more."

Yao Bianliang sighed helplessly and nodded.

She turned her head and looked not far away, there was a place selling boxed lunches. Ten yuan a piece, sold to group performers who have not found a job nearby, but the business is booming.

"Little Li, we haven't had lunch yet, why don't we go buy two lunch boxes?"

"Okay, sister Liang, you wait, I'll come as soon as I go." Assistant Yan Xiaoli responded, and trotted to line up.

Yao Bianliang found a place to stay and sat down, and took off the sunglasses that were better than nothing.

This is a film and television city, and there are too many stars, big and small. Everyone is not surprised at all.

What's more, stars like Yao Bianliang are only famous in variety shows, and the only work that made it out of the circle "To Our Youth" even wore ugly makeup.

People who don't watch variety shows have at most heard of her name, but they can't recognize her face.

It was time for lunch, and many extra performers were squatting in the shade to eat boxed lunches. Yao Bianliang sat under a tree, listening to the conversation between two extra performers not far away.

"I haven't received a single job today. Alas, why is it so difficult to be a group performer these days?"

The big brother with a square face took a bite out of his rice, with a sad expression on his face.

Another tall and thin man also sighed: "Don't mention it, those directors are more selective than each other. Like us, there is no chance to show your face at all."

In the film and television city, as far as the eye can see, there are a lot of group performers on Acting Online.

They have no good looks, no background, and no emotional intelligence. It is as difficult as heaven to get ahead.

Listening to the conversation, Yao Bianliang couldn't help but glanced in the direction of the two of them.

The big brother with a square face has a dark and simple face, with thinning hair on his head, and he doesn't look very smart.

The other tall, thin man also looked unattractive. He didn't look like he was standing or sitting. He didn't look like a good actor at first glance.

Moreover, judging from the dialogue between these two people, they were all selected by those directors.

Probably the worst group of extras in the film and television city, right?

Thinking of this, Yao Bianliang couldn't help being a little depressed.

Look, there are quite a lot of talents in the film and television city. Just find a place to sit, and you can meet two by chance.

Why is no one willing to sign up for her crew?

"Brothers, I heard that there is a studio called Hudi Entertainment, and it happens to be recruiting group performances today, why don't you try it?" Yao Bianliang finally couldn't hold back, and asked out his doubts.

Hearing Yao Bianliang's voice, both of them were taken aback.

The tall and thin man turned his head to look at Yao Bianliang, and immediately smiled: "Sister, are you new here?"

"...That's right." Yao Bianliang didn't know why.

"You don't understand." He spread his hands and said, "The conditions offered by that studio are too good. Not only is it a role that shows your face, but it also provides you with food and accommodation, with a salary of three to five hundred yuan a day. This is not what ordinary group performers like us can imagine."

The big brother with a square face couldn't hold back anything for a long time, scratched his hair, and finally uttered two words: "Yes."

The tall and thin man added: "It's useless for us to sign up and audition under such conditions, other than wasting time and being looked down upon by others."

Yao Bianliang: "..."

After working on it for a long time, it turned out that it was because her offer was so good that the others retreated automatically?

Yao Bianliang couldn't help being a little speechless.

No wonder there weren't many ensemble performers who signed up, and none of them were in poor condition. The problem turned out to be here.

Maybe, she should change the salary issue later, and lower the requirements appropriately?

Yao Bianliang was thinking like this, and his eyes fell on the two people with Guozilian.

The image and temperament of the two are very ordinary, belonging to the kind that can't be found even if thrown into the crowd.

The director of the film and television city refused to take them, and they couldn't get jobs, which showed that their abilities were not outstanding.

Moreover, they refuse to sign up when they see the recruitment notices with good conditions, thinking it is a waste of time. It is obvious that there is no self-motivated performance, no drive to fight hard!

To sum up, isn't this the talent she needs very much?

After finally meeting a suitable actor, Yao Bianliang also wanted to fight for his crew.

She thought for a while and said, "Brother, I just came here from where I signed up. There are very few people who signed up, and they have to recruit several actors, so they haven't filled up yet. Why don't you... go and try?"

Not many people signed up? It shouldn't be.

Guo Zi was taken aback for a moment, but he quickly came back to his senses.

Maybe everyone has the same idea as them, thinking that they have no role, so they are too lazy to sign up and wait for the audition.

In other words, if they take this opportunity to try, maybe they can catch the leak?

Guozilian didn't know the success rate, but when he thought of this possibility, he couldn't help but become a little tempted.

He scratched his head and looked at Yao Bianliang: "Sister, do you know how to get to the registration place?"

The corners of Yao Bianliang's lips rose slightly, and he immediately gave detailed directions to the other party, and finally said: "I think your hopes are still very high, and you may pass it if you go."

The square face only thought she was just saying polite words, and gave a wry smile helplessly.

His acting skills are indeed good, but his external image is not good, and his mouth is a bit clumsy. When he sees people he doesn't know well, he is so nervous that he doesn't know how to speak. Good opportunities don't come to him at all.

This time to sign up for a try, let's be a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

The thin and tall man on one side thought for a while, then turned around and asked the Chinese character face: "Brother Long, since we both signed up, why don't we call Xiao Huang and the others together? Anyway, I'm going to try it out, in case something happens One or two people have been chosen."

Are they going to call their friends together?

Yao Bianliang was a little uneasy. If their friends are very reliable, then she must not have them.

However, when Yao Bianliang saw the friend they were talking about, the anxiety in her heart disappeared.

A group of people were sad and dejected, and they were the worst group in the ensemble.

Some people even complained that apart from performing a group performance in ancient costumes two days ago and being a back-and-forth troll, they hadn't received a job for three days.

Listening to what they said, Yao Bianliang smiled.

good, very good.

These are all the talents she needs!

This kind of ensemble performance has not made any achievements after several years of mixing, and has not performed well in various types of dramas. It's impossible for her acting skills to explode suddenly and take everyone away after she's on the set, right?

This is not a joke.

The people not far away discussed a few words and finally reached an agreement, ready to go to the address that Yao Bianliang said.

Before leaving, Brother Guozilian waved to Yao Bianliang: "Thank you, sister. If it succeeds this time, I will treat you to a box lunch later!"

Yao Bianliang also waved happily at him: "No need, I will treat you to lunch later."

Guozilian walked far away, and I don't know if he heard her voice clearly. Yao Bianliang didn't care either, but watched the few people disappear into the crowd with a look of relief.

After recruiting this group of people, as the boss, wouldn't she have to treat them to lunch?

Hope they don't live up to her expectations.

The coldest time of winter has just passed at this time, the weather is just right, and the sun also brings its unique warmth.

Yao Bianliang curled the corners of his mouth in a happy mood, humming softly, with good expectations for the future in his eyes.

…

Brother Long and the others arrived at the place Yao Bianliang told him.

When they got closer, they realized why there were so few people who signed up.

When other people recruited group performers, they would call people on the side of the road with a loudspeaker. As for the recruitment of group performances here, there is only a notice board, and there is still a need to register and wait for the audition arrangement, which is very formal.

Those who saw the recruitment information in the group chat didn't dare to come, and the group performers passing by on the street didn't come either, so they would be left out in the cold.

After filling out the form and waiting for a period of time, several people finally started the interview session.

The man with glasses sitting on the chair pushed his glasses: "Among you, has any of you ever acted as a doctor?"

Several people looked at each other and shook their heads.

One of them raised his hand cautiously, trying to win over: "Does it count if you have acted as a patient?"

The man with glasses: "...not counting."

The man put his hand down in disappointment.

The man with glasses swiped the registration form a few times, and then asked, "Tell me about the most important and outstanding roles you have played."

This is yet another frustrating topic.

There are very few scenes where they even show their faces. How can they have such outstanding roles?

Based on the idea of ​​early death and early life, Long Guoqing broke the can and said: "I played a hardworking and simple construction site worker. There are two lines in total, both of which are opposite the protagonist."

In fact, he is a tool man who guides the protagonist.

Another person said: "I played a farmer, and because I looked at the heroine twice, I was killed by the hero. The director gave me two close-up shots, especially the death scene, and I performed well. .”

Of course, to put it bluntly, he was just a cannon fodder who died unexpectedly.

Several other people also answered this question in turn.

It's nothing more than some passerby characters who don't have any lines and the audience can't remember their names.

The man with glasses nodded after listening, and lowered his head to record.

After he finished writing, he asked the last question: "The characters you need to play are all doctors. Suppose you need to treat patients now, and let me see a part of it."

Acting as a doctor?

Most of the time, they acted as soldiers, the masses, ordinary people at the bottom, onlookers and so on.

For such a role, they have little experience.

However, after the initial shock, several people also quickly entered the state.

Although it is not clear what the doctor's professional operation is, the demeanor of several people is relatively in place, trying to create a sense of anxiety and tension. The lines are all improvised, but they can be said clearly.

It's just that few of them were unprepared, and they had never seriously understood the profession of a doctor, so it was inevitable that they would be a bit powerless to perform.

Assistant Chen, who was sitting next to him, watched the performances of several people, pushed his glasses, and there was a hint of satisfaction in his eyes hidden behind the lenses.

Yao Bianliang said that the actors they want must be the type who have acting skills but not many.

The few people in front of me clearly met this requirement.

"Boss, she has something to go out temporarily. Do you mind if I send your audition video to the boss?" he asked.

"Uh..." Long Guoqing was stunned.

This has to be decided by the boss himself? Is this crew so strict in recruiting tricks?

It's just that the other party is still waiting for an answer, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he nodded quickly: "Of course."

Although the hope is not high, but you have to try, right?

…

ten minutes later

Several people left the registration point as if in a dream.

Long Guoqing felt that his footsteps were floating, and the whole world seemed unreal.

A lesson can be learned from heaven and earth, he really just wanted to try his luck. Among the group of them, being able to pass one person is regarded as a high incense.

As a result, not only did he succeed in the audition, but all his brothers also passed the audition!

He never dared to make it so beautiful in his dreams.

"Brother Long, are we... got this role?"

"I'm not dreaming—hiss, it hurts. Who's pinching me?"

"It's really over! He's not kidding us, is he?"

"Impossible. We signed the labor contract on the spot. It's too late for them to regret it."

After saying this, everyone laughed, and their tone became much more relaxed.

"I have been imitating the way I talk and walk in the past few days in order to play a good street guy. Suddenly I was asked to play a doctor, but I couldn't adjust." One of them couldn't help complaining.

Another person was also quite touched: "No, I behaved so badly that I thought I was useless. I didn't expect it to work."

Everyone was pleasantly surprised by this result.

Although so far, they still think that the role this time should be just a character who can show his face and have lines, but it is exciting enough to get such a role.

"This is the first time I've played this kind of role! Shall we hurry to the hospital to learn?"

"That's needless to say? Let's go to the hospital today and observe the expressions of those doctors."

"The man said that he would give us the script tomorrow. I really didn't expect that there would be a day when we would use the script."

"Script? It's probably only a short paragraph, and there is a high probability that it will be playing the doctor in the background."

"Hey, I heard that doctors have thinner hair, and my hairline is just right."

Except for Long Guoqing, several other people just took a job two days ago. They were going to act in a costume drama with a crowd, and they would give a few shots.

This is one of the few opportunities to show their faces. In order to play this supporting role well, they also try their best to show a mediocre temperament when talking and walking.

For a character with few lines, they are still like this; now that they have got a part-time role with a part in the show, and such a good salary, they have to be very energetic.

As they walked back, they discussed enthusiastically, and everyone had a smile in their eyes.

When he returned to the place where he ate box lunch just now, Long Guoqing stopped and looked around, trying to find Yao Bianliang to thank him, but he didn't see him.

"Hey, where is that girl just now? Has she left?" The tall and thin man looked around, but couldn't find her.

"Thanks to her reminding us, we received such a good job," he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Why did we leave, I haven't had time to thank her yet."

Long Guoqing is also a bit regretful.

He pondered, after the filming of this scene is over, they will definitely have to return to the film and television city to continue to play a part. That girl should also be a group performer, the film and television city is so big, you can always meet her.

It's not too late to thank him after we meet next time.

———

Many people are looking forward to the day when the final lineup of "Good Drama PK Tournament" is officially announced.

When the team rosters of several players appeared on the official website, it immediately aroused heated discussions among fans and viewers of the program group.

Among them, netizens who followed Yao Bianliang were dumbfounded.

[Sisters, am I ignorant? I don't know any of the names in Yao Bianliang's team. 】

[I don’t know any of them +1, who is this screenwriter named An Xincheng, I can’t even find his name online. 】

[The list of actors is all new faces, have they played any roles before? 】

[A friend of mine who works in the film and television city told me that Yao Bianliang's team is full of professional dudes! Let a few extras play important supporting roles... Can you believe it? 】

Before the lineup was announced, everyone felt that with Yao Bianliang's enthusiasm, he would definitely be able to sign a good company and a good team.

In the end, who would have thought that they did not wait for the news of Yao Bianliang's signing with a big company, but instead waited for such a team lineup.

This can no longer be described as shabby.

Come to anyone, bring a loudspeaker, go to the film and television city to say hello, the lineup you recruit can be stronger than Yao Bianliang!

What kind of outrageous operation is this?

【Tsk, I knew that Yao Bianliang would definitely not follow common sense to smile and smoke.jpg】

[Laughing, just like she chose director Cheng Liuhui in the primary election, and didn't let fans hit the rankings in the rematch, I can't guess every step of Yao Bianliang's operation. This woman has never let me down! 】

[It can't be that there is something hidden, is Yao Bianliang being suppressed? But no matter how much they suppressed them, they still wouldn't be able to recruit such a group of actors to play. 】

[Even if someone targeted the lineup, it wouldn't be so outrageous. Obviously, this was Yao Bianliang's own idea—I don't understand, why did she do this? 】

[The people in front, don't underestimate the extras. The acting skills of most of the ensemble performers are better than those popular traffic stars. Smile】

[Hahahaha, Liangliang's operation shocked me again. Waiting for her new work. 】

In stark contrast to Yao Bianliang, it was Yao Xinxin.

In Yao Xinxin's team, there are not only well-recognized old actors who come to guest star, but also two top performers in the entertainment industry to play with her. These supporting roles are all well-known, well-reputed, and capable actors.

As for director Su Hua and screenwriter Nian Xiao, they are also well-known throughout the country.

[My God, Yao Xinxin's team lineup is so strong? 】

[I'm stupid, I'm all big names. What do these supporting actors think, what do the director and screenwriter think, they are all crazy. 】

When seeing Yao Bianliang's lineup, most passers-by can still maintain their sanity.

After all, Yao Bianliang has never played cards according to common sense, maybe this is her new routine. Everyone is getting used to it, and many people are even looking forward to it.

But Yao Xinxin's situation is completely opposite.

—Her configuration is so luxurious, so luxurious that everyone feels incredible!

With Yao Xinxin's status, not to mention playing the leading role in such a team, even if she plays a supporting role in it, people will feel that she is superior.

As a result, now, these people actually condescended to come together to film a short variety show with Yao Xinxin!

[This...is this the power of the legendary capital? 】

[Hehe, money can turn ghosts around, you are indeed Yao Xinxin. 】

【Fuck, the voting for the rematch was obviously cheating, even the judges apologized and terminated the contract, but Yao Xinxin can not only continue to participate in the rematch, but also make a gorgeous debut with such a good team resource? 】

[To be honest, Yao Xinxin's incident really made me completely disappointed in internal entertainment. We audiences resisted this star so much, but when we turned around, we should praise her or praise her. 】

[Hehe, let’s just push it. To put it bluntly, those people don’t even bother to listen to the audience’s voice. 】

[Boycott Yao Xinxin! But I don't watch any dramas she acts in. Brothers like me will deduct one! 】

Netizens reacted far more intensely than expected.

The show crew and Yao Xinxin's behavior simply didn't pay attention to the audience's attitude at all.

There was no apology, no explanation, the judges were pushed out to bear the firepower, and Yao Xinxin was still popular.

—You scolded you, but I still made a splendid appearance.

With such an attitude, who can bear it?

Even Yao Xinxin himself did not expect that things would go like this.

She originally thought that public opinion would improve after she debuted with an excellent lineup. But who knows, not only was no one looking forward to her new drama, but it also attracted more ridicule from netizens.

Her fans tried to comment on Weibo, but it was obviously outnumbered, and the majority of netizens rushed her away.

[Yo, are you still criticizing? Learn from Yao Bianliang who is next door, and never criticize or brag. 】

[Yao Xinxin hurry up and go back to be your wealthy lady, the entertainment industry is not where you should come. 】

[I just want to know who is behind Yao Xinxin besides the Yao family, who is fueling the flames? Is this the daughter of the entertainment industry? 】

Yao Xinxin felt flustered watching it.

At this moment, no matter how dull she was, she still figured out some problems.

After the rematch incident, she has now become a living target. No matter how she operates and finds someone to lead the rhythm, it will only make the situation worse and worse.

"How could this happen! Are these netizens crazy?" Yao Xinxin turned off the Weibo comment area with an ugly face.

Over the past few days, she has seldom read netizens' messages and private messages, and she is in a state of half-logging out of the Internet. Now I finally mustered up the courage to take a look online, and I saw these netizens' boycotted remarks.

Sitting next to her, Lu Yanchen frowned slightly watching those comments: "Xinxin, don't be too angry, it's not worth it for these people. After you finish acting in this drama, the reputation should improve."

Compared with Yao Xinxin, Lu Yanchen's Weibo comments were much more peaceful.

His team configuration this time is also relatively high, and most fans expressed their expectation for his brother's new drama. Due to the luxurious lineup, many people still speculate that Lu Yanchen's background is very unusual.

However, in his comment area, many people scolded Yao Xinxin.

Comments such as "Brother, can you stop getting too close to that Yao Xinxin", "Yao Xinxin is really shameless, with such a poor reputation, she still seduces my brother Chen" and other comments are not uncommon.

With a cold face, Lu Yanchen wrote down every account that scolded Yao Xinxin one by one, and after a while, someone blocked their accounts.

Yao Xinxin reluctantly smiled at Lu Yanchen: "I see, thank you Yanchen... If you hadn't come to help me this time, I'm afraid I really wouldn't be able to form such a good team."

Yao Xinxin knew in her heart that if she wanted to turn around now, she could only rely on her works.

Only when she performs good works and even wins awards can she clear the labels of "capitalism" and "moral incompatibility".

Lu Yanchen smiled softly: "I carefully selected the script this time. As a doctor, the heroine has a tough, persistent and charming personality. Such a character design is very pleasing to the audience. As long as you act well, it will definitely work."

Listening to Lu Yanchen's encouragement, Yao Xinxin gave a low hum.

She returned to her fan group and saw Yishuier's compliments "Xinxin is great", "The lineup is magnificent", and "A good show beats everyone else's face", which made her feel a little better.

After the rematch, many fans lost their fans and quit the circle. Most of the remaining fans are those who firmly support her.

Yao Xinxin made up her mind: "I will do well this time."

This final is probably her last chance.

Perhaps for other finalists, even if the show hit the street, they can still continue filming, participate in variety shows, and earn a new wave of traffic.

But for Yao Xinxin, if no one is watching this drama, then she really can't stand up at all.

When the time comes, she will either choose the black route of the entire network and go all the way to the black, or she will simply withdraw from the circle and leave.

Thinking of this, Yao Xinxin couldn't help showing a little hatred in his eyes.

If it wasn't for Yao Bianliang, how could she have fallen into such a situation?

If it weren't for Yao Bianliang's acting skills to be so good and compare her to her, she wouldn't be criticized for her acting skills at all;

If Yao Bianliang hadn't participated in this variety show, although she got 7 votes, although it was a bit higher, it would not have aroused such strong disgust from the public.

So much so that now, she only has this last chance to stand up.

Thinking of this, Yao Xinxin clenched her hands slightly.

Isn't it just a fight to the death? She, Yao Xinxin, has never been afraid of anyone.

This time, with such a good team and abundant funds, she did not believe that she could still lose to Yao Bianliang.

"By the way, Yan Chen, what is Yao Bianliang's team lineup this time?" Yao Xinxin couldn't help asking when thinking of this.

Lu Yanchen was taken aback for a moment, and then showed a slightly mocking smile: "What good team can she find?"

How could a powerless starlet find resources.

Yao Xinxin was skeptical. In her opinion, it would not be difficult for Yao Bianliang to find some good teammates with his popularity and reputation.

With this in mind, she clicked on Yao Bianliang's team introduction information.

Director, Zhang Hao; screenwriter, An Xincheng.

Yao Xinxin was a little confused—is she ignorant? Who are these two people?

Looking further down, in the list of actors, except for Yao Bianliang, everyone else is completely unfamiliar.

"This, these actors...?" Yao Xinxin turned to look at Lu Yanchen.

Lu Yanchen gave her an affirmative answer: "You read that right, they are all actors."

Yao Xinxin was a little unbelievable, turned her head to confirm, and then a burst of strong surprise burst into her eyes.

Yao Bianliang actually hired a group of extras!

She wouldn't really think that a mere bunch of extras could accomplish anything big, right?

The reason why dragon suits are dragon suits is because they have no looks, no ability, no background and no luck.

In other TV dramas, like this kind of one-handed tricks, the whole scene may only be shot for half a second, and even the face will not be shown.

When Yao Xinxin was acting, she didn't care about these background boards at all.

As a result, Yao Bianliang recruited so many extras at once, and let them all play important roles!

She didn't even think about whether they could bear such a burden.

Thinking of this, Yao Xinxin finally showed a relaxed smile.

With such a lineup, how can Yao Bianliang compete with him?

She finally won this time!
