Entertainment: The Path to Best Actor for Talented Actors

Brain storage site [ ]

The story takes place in a parallel universe.

……

In the scorching summer of 2008.

Around 4 PM,

Zhang Zezheng was conducting a social survey with several new colleagues he had just met.

The survey questionnaire was titled "Are you happy?"

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and mentally complained.

Who came up with this question out of sheer boredom?

Looking at the twenty-odd questionnaires in his hand, all of which indicated unhappiness, he felt much more at peace!

This is the 798 Art District in Beijing.

He interviewed for this new part-time job in the morning, which mainly involves conducting social surveys.

Meals not included. 80 yuan per day, to be settled on the same day.

The money isn't much.

But for someone without education or skills, it's always good to do a part-time job on weekends to earn some money for food.

After all, even if you don't spend money on food on weekends, you still need to spend money on meals.

Doing a part-time job that isn't too tiring, earning enough for a meal or even a few dozen more, is always better than lying around at home like a corpse.

Making money is like rowing against the current; if you don't earn money for a day, you won't be able to pay next month's rent.

It's tough being a migrant worker in Beijing!

He was very envious of the men and women on the street who were dressed smartly.

I wondered when I could be like them.

You can carry a cup of coffee in your hand and a camera around your neck, strolling around this art district, stopping and taking pictures of whatever you like.

This is what life is all about!

I'm just alive right now!

Just as he was lost in thought.

Just then, a young man's voice came from behind.

"Hey bro, could you do me a favor and support me?"

It'll probably only take about twenty minutes of your time, and you'll get 20 yuan for standing there and clapping.

Upon hearing this, he looked over.

Zhang Ze saw a boy who was about 1.7 meters tall and in his early twenties, who was stopping passersby on the street to ask questions.

Hearing that there was money to be made and the timeframe was short, Zhang Ze was tempted.

His part-time job offers a lot of flexibility.

Just return the questionnaires to the nearby company in the evening.

Moreover, he had already completed the amount required by the company; he was just waiting for the right time.

"Hello, may I ask if I am suitable for this job?"

Zhang Ze took the initiative to walk up to the young man and asked him a question in a generous manner.

"Of course, no problem. I need another twenty people. If you have any friends, you can bring them over too," the young man said happily.

He casually pulled out a notebook from his bag and said, "Young man, what's your name? I'll register it so I can pay you later!"

Zhang Ze gave his name and waited for a few minutes.

Before long, the young man had gathered more than a dozen young people, both men and women.

He then led this large group of people into 798.

The young man explained as he walked backwards on the road.

"Listen up, everyone!"

Today's job is a support role, it doesn't require much skill.

Once you arrive at the scene, follow instructions. If you are told to clap, just clap happily.

It will take about twenty minutes. Remember to come back to me to collect your money when you're done!

As Zhang Ze followed the large group, he wondered what kind of work it was.

You need so many people to applaud, and you even pay them!

Soon the group arrived inside a large factory building.

It's one of those tall factory buildings made of red bricks from the 1960s and 70s, very vintage.

There were already many people inside, sobbing and making noise.

He glanced around and saw that there were at least a hundred men and women inside.

Soon, staff members came to claim them and instructed them on what to do.

Zhang Ze was fortunate enough to be paired with a girl to pretend to be a couple.

The two were asked to pretend to be tourists and move around inside the factory.

The girl had makeup on and was about an 8 out of 10 in terms of looks. She was quite pretty and about 1.65 meters tall. She was wearing a very short skirt, which revealed her long, slender legs in black stockings.

To be honest, Zhang Ze, who is single, is really nervous right now!

This woman's looks are no less than those of the beautiful store manager in his shop.

Unlike the others who were hesitant and timid, the girl directly straddled Zhang Ze's arm, leaving him momentarily stunned.

He'd never had a girlfriend before and was a lifelong single, and suddenly he was assigned a beautiful woman as his girlfriend.

Who wouldn't be confused?

After rehearsing with the girl twice,

The lead staff member started by shouting through a megaphone.

"Everyone, watch your eyes! Pretend you're on a tour, the female lead is coming in soon!"

As the sound faded, dozens of couples walked back and forth inside the factory.

Zhang Ze was very obedient and didn't look at the door.

This is related to his personality.

If you're paid to do something, you have to do it properly!

But deep down I was still a little curious.

I wondered what the female lead looked like.

What makes a man spend so much money and put on such a grand proposal?

After a period of time, I kept trying to get information out of the people next to me.

Zhang Ze had already found out that today was a marriage proposal.

This isn't a TV drama; it's a real story about a wealthy person who spent hundreds of thousands of dollars just to hold a marriage proposal ceremony.

Zhang Ze was shocked!

The behavior of the wealthy is indeed extraordinary.

As planned, everyone pretended to be passersby without the female lead's knowledge.

Suddenly, music started playing in the factory, and the male protagonist took the microphone and began to express his deep affection to the female protagonist in a voice full of emotion.

The people around them took the opportunity to surround the two of them.

This was when Zhang Zecai had another chance to see the two main characters of the day.

The man was probably in his thirties, slightly overweight, about 1.78 meters tall, and not particularly handsome.

This is somewhat different from his image of a rich second-generation heir and a tycoon, and he is completely unrelated to the handsome, rich and charming men in TV dramas!

However, the woman's appearance was exactly as he had imagined!

The woman was about 1.65 meters tall, wearing a beautiful pastoral-style dress. She had a great figure, with a curvaceous bust and hips, and delicate and pretty features. She was very elegant!

It perfectly matches his perception of urban beauties.

"What a beautiful woman! This man is so lucky!"

He felt a surge of emotion and envy.

"I wish I could find a wife as beautiful as her someday!"

At that moment, a seed was quietly planted in his young heart.

That's just being greedy for money and lustful!

I must make a lot of money in my life and find a wife as beautiful as a celebrity.

As the man proposed to the girl, a video started playing on the projector.

The video content was recorded in more than 30 provinces across the country, showing iconic buildings and locations.

Each video has twenty or thirty people saying congratulatory words and shouting loudly, "Marry him!"

Watching the scenes flash by in the video.

The shock Zhang Ze felt was beyond words.

He thought to himself, if each video has 20 people, then 30 videos would have at least 600 people. Even if each person gets 20 yuan, that would still be more than 12,000 yuan!

In addition to travel expenses across the country, there are also labor costs and venue fees for the hundred or so people on site.

This marriage proposal will cost at least 20!

Having been in Beijing for half a year, this was the first time he had been so blatantly shocked by money.

Two hundred thousand yuan—that's ten years' income for him in his rural hometown!

He's like a frog at the bottom of a well, perched on the edge!

I looked out at the world.

My eyes were dazzled!

……

As expected, the male protagonist successfully proposed.

They moved the woman to tears and embraced her tightly.

Hundreds of people, pretending to be passersby, cheered and applauded!

A dozen minutes later.

The music has ended and the party's over!

The man left intimately with his beautiful wife, and the actors began to gather together to collect their money!

I earned twenty yuan in just over twenty minutes.

One yuan per minute!

This is the highest hourly wage Zhang Ze has ever earned in his life!

As the crowd moved out...

I was listening to the latest release, "Beijing Welcomes You," playing in a café in the park!

Zhang Ze's heart was restless!

Are you going to the Shougang game tomorrow?

"Go for it! I heard it stars Bao Jianfeng and Wang Yan."

"It's Qing'er!"

The sound of a man and a woman talking quietly behind him caught Zhang Ze's attention.

"Hello, what do you mean by acting?"

Are you all actors?
