When a person put all their energy into one thing, they would feel especially fulfilled. Xu Yun was like this. This time, he really immersed himself in work. Compared to before, Xu Yun felt the joy of working at Sky Entertainment for the first time.
Because of Sky Entertainment's continuous investment, Qingdao Film and Television Base had also skyrocketed to become the largest film and television base in the eastern hemisphere. Every day, there would be all kinds of crews filming there.
Even if it was August 15th, National Day, and all kinds of other special days, there would always be filming. There was no such thing as rest.
Many people only saw the glamorous side of actors and stars, but they simply didn't see the price of success behind the scenes. When a person hasn't become a big star, it's very likely that he or she would be scolded by the director.
Many times, there would be people who couldn't hold on. Not to mention the pressure of being a star, there were many people who couldn't even bear the pressure of playing an ordinary role. When there were no lines, they felt like they didn't make it. When there were lines, they couldn't bear the pressure and were dumbfounded as soon as the cameras started rolling.
Before, Xu Yun had only heard the artists signed by the company say that this circle wasn't easy to survive in. Now, he understood that it really wasn't that easy to survive in this circle.
There were also tens of thousands of people who ran to the masses every day, from thirty to eighty … Those who could get one or two lines only made a hundred yuan. Those who could really guarantee a basic life had to at least get a medium special contract. Only then could they make four or five hundred yuan a day.
Perhaps many people had heard that it was only two or three thousand yuan a day to get to the top of a special team. However, how many people could reach that step? There were at least tens of thousands of people who made a living around Sky Entertainment Studio. How many of them could make it out alive?
The only way to make more money at the beginning was to do martial arts. Xu Yun had observed a few martial arts, and their skills were not bad. He was afraid that they wanted to be martial arts since they were young but couldn't understand the mystery behind it. Therefore, they couldn't become real masters and could only do martial arts to make a living.
Those who mixed in with the masses all had a dream, and that was to become someone like Wang Qiangbao … But in the entire Hua Xia circle, how many people could make it out? Wang Qiangbao came from the Yanjing entertainment circle. In a huge group of at least five hundred thousand people, how many Wang Qiangbao could make it out?
This probability was no different from winning millions in the lottery.
However, there were still countless people who believed that they would definitely be able to make a name for themselves in this circle, and they were willing to work hard for it. This was normal. Everyone had their own dreams. Some people were determined to pursue their dreams. This was something worthy of respect.
Perhaps many people's dreams were laughable in the eyes of others, but in his heart, they were the most sacred and could not be insulted.
Some people said that the dream of not being mocked by others was not worth realizing, and this was not wrong. At least in the circle of extras, many of them were laughed at, looked down upon by their relatives and friends, and said that they were daydreaming. It was impossible for them to become a big shot.
But in the end, there were still people who walked out. This was what these people would fight for.
It wasn't easy to survive in any industry. Those who mocked the extras were themselves in another industry. There were many people in the e-commerce industry, but how many of them could become like Mr. Ali? There were also many people in the real estate industry. There were also a few Evergrande and Wanda …
Every industry had its own outstanding people. This was normal. There was a pyramid in every industry.
One shouldn't look down on extras in the film studio just because they worked in Ali and wrote code in Ali. Everyone was the same. When they mocked extras for never being able to make it to the top, others could also mock them for never being able to make it to Mr. Ma.
As long as one worked hard, there would always be a time when they would be valued. From the masses to the special agent, from the special agent to the supporting role, from the supporting role to the protagonist, wasn't this also a path of appreciation?
The blue-collar worker who first entered the company trained hard to become a white-collar worker who could lead a blue-collar worker. Then, he was promoted to a silver-collar worker who could participate in the management and leadership of a white-collar worker. Finally, he became a gold-collar worker who had the ability to judge and make decisions and lead a silver-collar worker … Who didn't climb up step by step?
Of course, there were unspoken rules in every industry.
There was almost no one who didn't know the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry. If someone became famous overnight, it would be because they slept with a certain director or investor. If someone became the main character after just entering the industry, it would be because they had an unspeakable secret with the big boss of the entertainment industry …
This was something that had been circulating throughout society.
However, were there no unspoken rules in other places? How many people who embarked on a career path would not hesitate to give their wives to their leaders in order to be promoted?
Xu Yun encountered such a thing at the dinner table. When he was eating with some unit leaders, the head of a unit patted the shoulder of a small sector-level leader and said, "Your wife complained to me. She said that you are always fierce to her. Pay attention in the future!" Then, the small sector-level leader smiled and said, "No, no." At that time, everyone present smiled very obscurely.
Everyone knew what kind of things were hidden in this … How could a young man with no power or background enter the unit become a section chief before the age of thirty? Everyone in the unit knew that it was because he found a beautiful wife. This beautiful wife was not from their unit, but she often went in and out of their unit.
However, she did not go to him, but to the head's office. Many times, it was the head who picked her up and sent her home from work … Even the head often went to the small sector-level leader's house to drink at night after social engagements. After drinking, he would stay the night.
Every time the head of their unit wanted to stay the night, the small sector-level leader would always suddenly have something to do and have to work overtime. Or he would directly go to a bath center and book a room for the night.
These were all true stories that happened around them.
It was said that the entertainment industry was dirty. It was said that people in high positions in the entertainment industry liked to play dirty. In fact, this kind of situation existed in the entire society. And sometimes, in some fields, it was even dirtier!
In the entertainment industry, there was no lack of directors who liked women. And when these people drank, they did not shy away from talking about some things.
Some high-profile people even liked to show off. When they drank too much, they would say, "So and so, it was because of him that they could get a room and wait for me with just a phone call."
Whenever these high-profile people with high status in the entertainment industry said such things, the people around them would always flatter them. This was because these people flaunted in order to make others admire them, respect them, and give them the sense of pride they wanted.
However, at this time, these people would say, "What is he?" He only occasionally played with a few small actresses. How could he be compared to some of the leaders with amazing power who had hundreds and thousands of lovers? If he slept with one a day, he would sleep with them for three years.
There were also some people with great power who played with more tricks. Sisters, mother and daughter flowers, all of them. These were all things that people in the entertainment industry could not do.
In other words, those in the entertainment industry who were interested in such things would at most try to sneak into the entertainment industry or try to enter the entertainment industry. However, those with great power and influence were different. They would have the opportunity to sneak into any industry they wanted.
They did not even need to look for it themselves. There would be people who would come to them.
In this society where the bottom line of morality was getting lower and lower, these things were not rare at all.
In the face of all these unspoken rules, such as treating people to a meal or giving expensive gifts, these were not tactics at all. They were just ways to bond.
Xu Yun was sitting in his position today, so of course, there were all kinds of temptations.
However, there were not many female artists who dared to stick to Xu Yun. Everyone knew very well what status Ruan Qingshuang and Zuo Meiyan had beside Xu Yun, so they knew very well what they could do and what they could not do.
As for the people outside Sky Entertainment who wanted to enter Sky Entertainment, they did not know so much. It was not uncommon for them to send themselves to him.
Xu Yun really admired these people, because these people were very well-informed. If he went on a business trip to do something, as long as it was delivered to his door, they would definitely be able to accurately find the hotel he was staying in and the room number he was staying in.
