Entertainment: The Path to Best Actor for Talented Actors

Chapter 16: Persuading Gao Yang to Go to Hengdian

The next scene to be filmed is Zhang Liujin going to the division headquarters to complain.

However, there are no filming scheduled for this show today.

Filming doesn't follow the order in which it's shown in the TV series.

The shooting schedule should be tailored to the scene. Scenes in the same location should be filmed together as much as possible.

This avoids having to change venues repeatedly, and most importantly, it saves costs.

The rent for a filming location is not cheap.

In the afternoon, we filmed Political Commissar Zhang arriving and everyone drinking and celebrating in the courtyard.

The scene of Li Dabenshi lying on the ground, fast asleep, drunk.

Throughout the entire process, Digua barely uttered any lines, and just coasted through the afternoon.

That evening, Zhang Ze picked up Gao Yang, a friend he had met when he was an extra.

This guy has the financial support of his family, so he can keep pursuing his dreams for his interests.

He earned 100,000 yuan from filming over the past two years, but spent 200,000 yuan of it in Beijing.

However, it's about keeping those extras in Beijing who can't last three or four months going.

He became one of the more senior extras in the Beijing area.

In addition, with her extensive acting experience, she is now able to take on many special roles.

Earning ten thousand yuan a month is no problem!

But this spendthrift son just couldn't resist spending money so extravagantly!

For the past two years, he has been living in hotels, and he has never been able to save any of his earnings from filming; he spends it all every month.

He even asks his mom for some every now and then!

"Hey kid, what brings you to call me today?"

"Brother Ze, I miss you!"

"You just leave to film, and haven't contacted me for almost half a month. I thought you'd been sold to a coal mine in the mountains to work as a laborer!"

"Get lost! If anyone's going to be sold, it'll be you. You look like a pretty boy, and rich women love guys like you! I'll lock you up in the basement and keep you from ever seeing the light of day again," Zhang Ze said with a laugh.

"Hehe, I called you to get your opinion. I don't want to stay in Beijing anymore!"

"Oh? You want to go home and stop acting?"

"I feel there are too few film crews in Beijing!"

"My appearance is somewhat mixed-race, which limits me from taking on many roles."

"But I really love acting and I don't want to give up. I'd like to hear your opinion on whether I should continue!" Gao Yang's voice was somewhat dejected.

"I thought your family was forcing you to go back!"

"Since that's not the case, things are easier to discuss! It mainly depends on whether you still want to act."

Zhang Ze said, "If you really like it and want to stick with it, I have a suggestion, but I don't know if you'd be willing to try it!"

"Brother Ze, please tell me. I will consider it carefully," Gao Yang said solemnly.

"Go to Hengdian!"

"Hengdian?" Gao Yang asked, puzzled.

"Yes, Hengdian. Once you get there, look for period drama production teams and find roles for ethnic minorities like Mongolians and Tatars."

"It would be best to take some time to learn horseback riding and archery."

"Two-thirds of the country's period dramas are filmed in Hengdian. If you can become a special guest actor specializing in period dramas, the prospects are quite good."

"Even if I don't end up as the protagonist, being a villain is still pretty good."

Gao Yang was a little confused when he heard Zhang Ze's words.

He never thought about these things; he just spent his days filming and playing in a daze.

He thought to himself, "No wonder Brother Ze has been doing so well these past two years; his way of thinking is definitely different!"

After hanging up the phone, the more I thought about Zhang Ze's words, the more they made sense.

So they decided to cancel their hotel reservations in Beijing and move south to Hengdian to develop their business.

However, before going there, he decided to go back to his hometown.

Firstly, I ran out of money, so I went home and asked my mom for some funds.

Secondly, I need to learn horseback riding and archery for two months.

He has a familiar horse farm in his hometown of Xi'an, and he also plans to spend a month living on the Mongolian grasslands to familiarize himself with the lifestyle of ethnic minorities.

If Zhang Ze is an ordinary player, relying on his exceptional talent, hard work, and unique thinking to find his own path and collect equipment and skills along the way.

Gao Yang is a pay-to-win player, paving his way with money.

Fortunately, his family doesn't own a coal mine.

Otherwise, he might very well do something like making a movie just to promote himself.

A new phone called the iPhone 4 has recently been released on the market.

This phone has been making headlines in the entertainment industry lately, and many celebrities and actors have bought one.

In particular, the fruit-cutting game in the film became a huge hit, and people would play it together to compete in cutting fruit when they weren't filming.

Looking at his somewhat worn-out Nokia, Zhang Ze also wanted to buy one.

Although the high price of four thousand yuan made him hesitate!

But considering that I can earn 10,000 yuan a month, and this phone only costs less than half of that, it doesn't seem so unacceptable!

My initial reason for choosing to become an actor was that I could make a lot of money in this industry!

Although I haven't yet achieved my goal of earning 20,000 yuan a month.

But earning over 10,000 yuan a month is still much better than what most high school graduates do!

Two days later, Zhang Ze received his new phone!

He was quite shocked as it was his first time using a smartphone!

I didn't know phones could do this?
