Respawn Entertainment

On the afternoon of the celebration, Chen Lin and Liu Dehua had tea with two guests in the office and talked about the new movie script. The two guests were the great director Feng Xiaogang and the famous actor Ge You.

The new movie script discussed by the four people is "The World No Thieves".

Feng Xiaogang was very interested in this work. After reading the script for half an hour, he decided to cooperate with Jade Emperor Entertainment to take on the film. Ge You and Liu Dehua also agreed to participate.

The two sides reached a preliminary agreement. A week later, Chen Lin went to Beijing to visit Director Feng's home in person. The two sides finally reached a consensus on some details of the new movie.

After the Spring Festival, Yuhuang Entertainment and Feng Xiaogang Film Studio officially signed a contract, and the official project of "No Thief in the World" has entered into full preparations.

......

On February 6, 2004, just after the Lantern Festival, Beijing Film Academy welcomed a group of new students to enroll.

In recent years, with the popularity of film and television dramas, more and more young men and women have begun to yearn for the glorious life of celebrities. Young people who believe that they have innate conditions, talented or have good family backgrounds have chosen to apply for art colleges to realize their star dreams. There are also a small number of people who do not have outstanding image temperament or prominent family backgrounds. They have chosen another rugged road - extras.

Wang Baoqiang is an extra. He is not tall, only 161cm tall, and his facial features are not related to the word "smart". His only advantage is that he is relatively strong and has a little martial arts foundation.

Although the young man is young, he has been an extra for 5 years. Speaking of which, his experience can be made into a micro-film.

Wang Baoqiang was born in a small countryside in Xing*tai City, Hebei Province in 1984. His childhood was as unattractive as other rural children. In his mother's memory, his clothes were all left over from his brothers and sisters. Wang Baoqiang had the idea of ​​acting in a movie because he watched Jet Li's "Shaolin Temple".

He started practicing martial arts at the age of 6, and worked as a layman at Shaolin Temple in Songshan, He*nan from the age of 8 to 14. After 6 years in Shaolin Temple, he has developed a good foundation in kung fu.

A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. Perhaps because he has been learning for 6 years, in 1999, 15-year-old Wang Baoqiang dared to go to Beijing alone and join the Beijing migrant clan. On the third day after he arrived in Beijing, he received a job as an extra.

It was out of control. Extras have been working for five years, and this year is the sixth year.

Five years have passed, and he is still an extra. It is conceivable that the food in the actors' industry is not so easy to eat. On the other hand, it also shows that he is indeed extremely ordinary and has no highlights that people can remember. If you have seen him in the morning, you will surely forget his appearance in the afternoon.

If you insist on finding some unique traits in him, maybe it will be perseverance and persistence.

Over the past five years, Wang Baoqiang has seen all kinds of people. At the beginning, he has been plunging into the dream of becoming a big star. Not long after, most people can't hold on for half a year. It's amazing that they have been for one year. But then they have been for three years and left this industry. Only he has been for five years as an extra.

In the first two years as an extra, Wang Baoqiang never bought a piece of clothing for himself, and all of them were worn by old clothes sent from his hometown. Five years later, he was wearing old clothes that were rustic, and the most valuable thing was a shabby second-hand Nokia phone.

Although the phone is worn out and selling it to a mobile phone recycling store may only be worth 300 yuan, Wang Baoqiang does regard this phone as a treasure, because this phone is the only tool for him to contact various crews. Sometimes you may even miss a performance opportunity after answering a call late, so he hasn't left this phone almost 24 hours a day.

It was 7:30 in the morning. Wang Baoqiang finally glanced at the Beijing Film Academy students entering and leaving with envy, turned around and left, and headed to the entrance of the Beijing Film Academy not far away.

When Wang Baoqiang arrived, dozens of extras dressed like migrant workers had gathered at the entrance of the Beijing Film Studio.

"Baoqiang." Not far away, several familiar extras were calling him under a tree. Wang Baoqiang walked over and talked about his recent situation.

"Hey~~" an extra suddenly sighed: "I haven't received much work for three days. I can't pass this day. It's better to go to the construction site to do odd jobs."

"Yes, Lao Wu and Lao Lu went to the construction site yesterday to work, and I'm going to go there too."

"Baoqiang, I think you haven't found a job these days. What are your plans? Why don't you go to the construction site with us the other day?"

"You go, I'll wait a few more days." Wang Baoqiang smiled and thanked them for their kindness. In fact, what he didn't say was that he had not worked for two months, and finally he moved bricks on a nearby construction site for a day.

Just as several workers were trying to persuade him, Wang Baoqiang's cell phone rang, and he was happy when he heard the ringtone of the cell phone. Usually someone asked him to act when the phone came.

He hurriedly ran to the side to answer the phone, and a strange man's voice came from the phone: "Hey, are you Mr. Wang Baoqiang?"

The stranger spoke very politely, and few people called him Mr. Wang Baoqiang was stunned for a second and quickly replied: "Yes, I am Wang Baoqiang, who are you?"

"My surname is Chen." The stranger quickly explained the reason for finding him and said, "I watched the movie "Blind Well" you starred in. I think you are very suitable for the role in one of my movies. I want to invite you to audition. Do you have time now?"

"I have time." Wang Baoqiang's heart was pounding when he heard that he was going to audition. He knew that the character he was going to audition was definitely not an extra. Extras didn't need to audition. He hurriedly asked, "Boss Chen, what role are you asking me to play? Do you have any lines?"

"Haha, of course there are lines. Let's talk about it when we meet. Where are you now?"

"I'm under a big tree near the entrance of the Beijing Film Studio."

"Then you wait for me there for a minute, and I'll be there right away."

The other party hung up the phone, and Wang Baoqiang was very happy. Finally, he had a show again. And this time he was not an extra, but a character with lines.

While he was anxious to wait, he was thinking a lot.

In the blink of an eye, a silver Mercedes-Benz slowly relaxed and stopped beside Wang Baoqiang.

"Can it be Boss Chen on the phone?" Wang Baoqiang looked at the silver Mercedes-Benz in surprise and doubtfulness. Through the glass window, a young man with exquisite clothes, extraordinary temperament and a look of the year after another was sitting in the back seat.

The car window rolled down, and the young man smiled at Wang Baoqiang. If there was a reporter here, he would definitely recognize that the young man was Chen Lin, the richest man in Chinese. (To be continued.)
