This actor just wants to verify.

Chapter 7 Buy a Nokia

When mobile phones first came out, they were rare items, but now with the development of the industry, the prices have come down.

Of course, this reduction is relative.

The starting price is over a thousand, which is one month’s salary, and most people cannot afford it.

But this can't stop everyone's enthusiasm.

By the end of July, China Mobile's mobile phone market reached 7 million, surpassing Xiaomi and becoming the world's largest.

So, there are quite a lot of people looking at their phones in the store.

Although most of them were just drooling over their phones on the counter.

When Hao Yun walked in, the salesperson did not look down on him.

Fuck, he is so handsome, how could anyone look down on him.

If he shouts, he will stay with you all night if you give him a cell phone. I'm afraid there are not enough cell phones in this store.

When the saleslady learned that he wanted to buy a mobile phone, she enthusiastically introduced it to him.

Nokia 8250 is really good. It turns blue as soon as it is turned on, and it is particularly dazzling among the black and white screens.

However, after the discount, the price was still three thousand, which Hao Yun could not afford.

The Nokia 8310 is more expensive and is not on sale.

If you can't afford what you want to buy, you don't have to worry about it. There are many places where you need to spend money, so Hao Yun just goes for the cheapest one.

The lady recommended Ericsson T28 to him.
This mobile phone was launched in 1999 and became popular all over the country with Liu Furong's advertising slogan "I will strive for my career and I will never give up on you."

This machine was launched two years ago and now costs only 1100 yuan.

The most important thing is that for promotion purposes, there is a gift package, which includes a charger, earphones and batteries - although the batteries are not original, they can still solve the urgent problem.

Get it quickly and easily.

Then comes the card application.

Mobile phone stores also offer this service, where they sell two types of cards.

One is a monthly rental of 25 yuan, with a service charge of 0.25 yuan. If you buy a card, you need to pay an additional 10 yuan poverty alleviation fund.

The other type has no monthly fee, but the charges are more expensive, 0.6 cents per minute.

Hao Yun thought about it and bought the first one. He made a few more calls and came back.

Mobile phone number: 139****1456.
He first called Brother Tao, the assistant of Wang Rui, the director of The Legend of the Condor Heroes.

Tell him that you bought a cell phone and ask him to keep it for you so that he won’t have to call Wu Laoliu’s store if anything happens.

There was also an enthusiastic sales girl who insisted on saving his number with him.

He said he was responsible for his after-sales issues.

Hao Yun felt that she didn't want to provide after-sales service for the phone, but clearly wanted to provide after-sales service for him, but he still politely saved the number.

After finishing, he quickly went to the Actors Guild to sign up for the special actor exam.

I collected several attributes today and I am confident that I can pass the exam.

After Hao Yun explained his purpose, the people from the Actors Guild were very excited.

The actor certificate launched last year received less than a hundred applications, and at least half of them have given up on the career of acting as an extra.

This year, an upgraded version of group performances was launched - special actors.

The response was average.

So far, no one has ever thought of taking their special examination.

According to regulations, an actor must hold an actor's license for at least three months before taking the special exam - Hao Yun does not meet the requirements.

But it doesn't matter.

You finally get someone to take the exam, and you negotiate terms with him. What if he runs away before three months?

The staff also kindly told Hao Yun the content of the exam.

That’s right, in order to reduce the difficulty, they even gave up the examination format of drawing questions on the spot and preparing for the exam in half an hour, and also shortened the process of the initial and re-examination to one exam.

There are three contents in the test.

One is recitation.

One is a non-physical performance.

The last one is acting, which is the dialogue performance.

Hao Yun can even choose the specific content of the exam himself. In this regard, he, a wall hanger, has no pressure at all. He holds Tang Guoqiang's 100-point lines in his hand - even if the certificate's major is not suitable, it will cost 20 points to access it, but that's still 80 points.

He also has acting attributes and it was easy for him to pass the special actor exam.

"Is there a certificate?" Hao Yun was more concerned about this.

"Certificate?" The staff scratched their heads. They had never thought about this matter.

"You need a certificate, otherwise how can you distinguish me from ordinary extras? If I go to the crew and tell them that I'm not an extra, but a special actor, I need a certificate, right?"

Hao Yun is after the certificate, there is no point in taking the exam if he doesn't get it.

"I'll get you a certificate tomorrow, don't worry." Gritting his teeth, the staff member took the initiative to coax Hao Yun into filling out the registration form.

Except for having to pay 30 yuan, which made Hao Yun very unhappy, he was very satisfied with the other reception services.

The time is set for tomorrow morning, and none of his existing attributes will expire.

In order to prepare for the exam the next day, Hao Yun went to an Internet cafe, found some suitable materials, and copied them down with pen and paper.

My current residence is messy and inconvenient, and I also have secrets.

So Hao Yun found a cheap hotel near the Internet cafe.

He has made up his mind to go back and rent a small house again.

I still have more than 1,300 yuan in my hand now, so it's not that I can't afford the rent, but I'm just hesitating whether to attend the opening ceremony of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". If I pay for it myself, the train ticket alone will cost more than 100 yuan, so I have to spend money sparingly.

Money is such a bastard.

The next morning at 8:30, Hao Yun arrived at the Actors Guild on time.

Starting at nine o'clock, just push the door and go in.

Damn, there are so many examiners. Are you just too bored or too full?

Hao Yun complained in his heart, but he still introduced himself respectfully. When the ten examiners heard that he had visited more than 20 film crews, they all nodded in satisfaction.

This guy has only been working for two months, but he has already visited twenty film crews, which means he is busy all day long.

He is a diligent child and a handsome one at that. Who can not like him?

"Why did you come here to be an extra?" asked one of the middle-aged ladies.

“I love performing.”

In fact, I want to be a star, make a lot of money, and marry a beautiful wife, not the widow Wang at the entrance of the village.

“Have you tried to audition for a role?”

"Yes, I auditioned for a small role in The Legend of the Condor Heroes two days ago, and Director Wang Rui gave me the opportunity to act in it."

If you have qualifications you must show off, otherwise people will really look down on you.

Some so-called experts do not judge based on their professional level, but simply praise the powerful and criticize the weak.

When they heard that Hao Yun had won the role in The Legend of the Condor Heroes, the judges present were dumbfounded.

We are just asking casually, you actually have it.

And it’s such a huge project.

"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is definitely one of the biggest projects in the industry this year. Even if you only get a small role in the interview, it would be amazing.

After all, extras don't need to be interviewed, and extras are cast locally.

You are so great, why are you here for a special interview?

"Ahem, let's get started now." The examiner was the president of the Actors Guild. He had originally planned to summarize the experience and lessons learned through the first special actor examination so as to create a standardized process.

The focus is not on Hao Yun at all.

But now it’s different. Hao Yun has auditioned for "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and got the role.

Then he would not only be the first person to sign up for the special exam, but also possibly the first extra to pass the special exam.

"Teachers, can I perform a non-material performance first, and then recite and act?"

Hao Yun put forward his own request.

He has a broad mind and instantly thought of how to maximize the use of his attribute values.

The lines I got from Tang Guoqiang only last for five minutes. If I recite them first without any physical performance, there might not be enough time when I start acting later.

But if you change the order, you can cover both exams.

"Okay, you can perform the performance without props first." The examiner had no objection, as this test was supposed to be an experiment.
