Entertainment: The Path to Best Actor for Talented Actors

Chapter 31 Joining the Cast of "My Chief and My Regiment"

"The Indelible Number" will air tonight, creating a war-themed Spring Festival Gala.

The TV series "The Indelible Number," starring Huang Haibo, has been hailed by viewers as "the most worthwhile TV series to watch this year."

Unlike typical revolutionary dramas, "The Number" tells a tragic story in a crazy comedic way. Huang Haibo described his character, Li Dabenshi, as having "bandit-like, thieving, evil, demonic, divine, righteous, ambitious, and courageous qualities."

Major newspapers and television stations are broadcasting the series and promoting it.

As expected, the show achieved a viewership rating of over 10% halfway through its run.

It beat out many movies that were airing at the same time, such as "New My Fair Princess", "Scarlet Heart" and "Windmill", to become the hottest drama of the year.

When the ratings broke 10, news came that the show would be broadcast on CCTV-1's prime time slot, and would also be broadcast a second time on other satellite TV channels. With eight satellite TV channels across the country taking turns to broadcast it, Zhang Ze gained popularity among audiences nationwide.

She has been verified as an actress on Weibo, the actress who played the role of Digua in "Never Forget the Number", and has gained 300,000 followers in less than a month.

Li Menghan, the high school class beauty and academic representative, became his first fans, creating a fan group and a Baidu Tieba forum for him.

Zhang Ze's soaring popularity is most evident in the fact that he no longer needs to travel from one film crew to another for work.

Many production teams that had previously submitted their files to me called to express interest in collaborating.

Zhang Ze suddenly found himself receiving a constant stream of film offers, although they were all minor supporting roles.

But the pay has indeed increased significantly, with each drama reported at least 100,000 yuan as the pay.

To Zhang Ze's surprise, Sister Yan actually went to the film set in person and apologized to him after he finished filming.

Watching Sister Yan, who was so domineering and arrogant in front of the extras, now apologizing with a forced smile, Zhang Ze felt the strict hierarchy in the entertainment industry.

To the extras who lacked resources, Sister Yan was like a god.

But in the eyes of true A-list actors, Sister Yan is nothing.

Even though she has thousands of extras and dozens of featured actors under her command.

Of course, Zhang Ze didn't have the confidence to look down on Sister Yan yet. After all, she was someone who earned millions a year and grew up in the August First Film Studio.

Zhang Ze didn't say anything harsh about Yan Jie's apology. After all, he was just starting out, so he decided to let the matter drop.

Gaining fame is a good thing, but Zhang Ze also faces the issue of needing to sign with a management company.

Recently, many talent agencies have contacted him, expressing their willingness to sign him and invest heavily in his development.

These companies vary greatly in quality; only a few are legitimate, while most are shell companies that come to swindle and cheat.

Zhang Ze had been working as an extra for two years and knew these guys inside and out. He had often tricked young people who were just starting out in the industry.

He politely declined, saying he would think about it some more.

That day, he received a phone call that surprised him.

The caller turned out to be the casting director of the TV series "My Chief and My Regiment". He said that director Kang Honglei planned to use the original cast of "Soldiers Sortie" to shoot a war drama about the expeditionary force. He saw that Zhang Ze's portrayal of Di Gua in "Number" was very spirited and wanted to invite him to participate. He also invited Renao and Daizi to join the cast.

Because the drama "My Chief and My Regiment" is also a drama with very well-developed characters. Each character has their own characteristics and leaves a deep impression on the audience.

.

Zhang Ze said there was no problem; he was very happy to be appreciated by Director Kang and was very willing to participate.

The TV series "Soldiers Sortie" is a phenomenal hit, which not only made Wang Baoqiang famous, but also made many supporting actors famous.

Director Kang Honglei is also a very capable director. Putting aside everything else, the mere fact that the original cast of "Soldiers Sortie" is the guarantee of high viewership ratings is a given.

I'm so lucky to have been able to participate in a show like this.

In a hotel in Beijing, the crew of the film "The Commander" held a rehearsal.

The director decided to cast Zhang Ze as Doubing. The role was originally intended for Wang Baoqiang, but Wang Baoqiang was unavailable due to company scheduling. It just so happened that Zhang Ze's popularity was soaring, so it was a good opportunity for Zhang Ze.

Lively got the role of Manhan, while Daizi played the role of Nidan.

The three of them were happy to be able to film together in the same production crew again, and they had hot pot together that night.

The filming locations for "My Chief and My Regiment" were mostly in Yunnan. After signing the performance contract with the crew, Zhang Ze prepared his luggage.

Yunnan has many tropical rainforests and a lot of snakes and insects, so Zhang Ze bought a lot of mosquito and snake repellent.

Before flying to Yunnan, Zhang Ze went home.

He hadn't seen his parents for almost a year since he last went home.

It's already October, and we still don't know how long filming for "My Chief and My Regiment" will take. I guess I won't be able to go home for the Chinese New Year by the end of the year.

Zhang Ze returned home in a low-key manner. He arrived at the village in the evening and did not go out. The villagers did not even know that he had returned home. The next morning, he rushed to Jinan to catch a plane to Yunnan.

After getting off the plane, I felt that the weather in Kunming was very comfortable and the air was very fresh.

The weather here is completely different from that in the north, making one feel refreshed and relaxed.

Zhang Ze, wearing a mask, shouted loudly.

"Yunnan, here I come..."

This drew stares and whispers from those around him.

The opening ceremony for "My Chief and My Regiment" was held in Tengchong. After leaving the airport, Zhang Ze took a car for several hours to get to Tengchong.

It was already late when Zhang Ze arrived at the hotel booked by the film crew in Tengchong. He was assigned to share a room with another actor.

"Teacher Luo, let me arrange someone for you in your room! This is Zhang Ze, a very talented young actor. Please give him some pointers when you have time."

The production manager of the film crew, a woman in her thirties, led Zhang Ze to the room of a middle-aged actor.

"Okay, I'm getting bored by myself! Having someone to talk to when I'm not busy is great," the other person replied with a smile.

"Zhang Ze, this is the famous actor Luo Jingmin. You can share a room with him for now. He's a veteran actor, so you can ask him for advice whenever you have time."

"Thank you, Producer Liu," Zhang Ze said politely and humbly to Luo Jingmin.

"Hello, Teacher Luo. This is Zhang Ze. Sorry to bother you!"

"It's alright, young man. I know you. You're the sweet potato from the indelible number, right?"

I was watching that drama a while ago, the acting was really good, and yours was also very good.

Luo Jingmin warmly shook Zhang Ze's hand and pulled him into his room.

Teacher Luo's hands are very warm, and she is a very kind person.

"I didn't expect that Professor Luo had also watched this show. Thank you for the compliment, Professor."

"Stop calling me 'teacher,' it's tiring to hear. From now on, we'll be roommates, brothers in arms. Call me either Uncle Luo or Lao Luo."

Zhang Ze quickly greeted, "Hello, Uncle Luo."

Lao Luo is someone you can't call out to no matter what; he's not that brave!

Of course, whether or not you'll call each other when you start drinking together once you're more familiar with each other is another matter.
