Jiang Zixue's first morning as an extra was very busy. She didn't even have time to put on makeup before she rushed out of bed.
She followed the group of extras to the entrance of the commune next to the film city. Although it was only five in the morning, the place was already filled with men and women. Everyone had yawns on their faces. Because it was a little cold in the morning, some people kept sneezing.
Jiang Zixue and the other girls stood together. Just like that, they waited in boredom. Half an hour passed, but still, nothing happened.
As a newcomer, Jiang Zixue couldn't sit still anymore. She asked the girl next to her, "It's already half past five. Why hasn't the director come yet?"
"You're new here." The girl looked much calmer. "We have to come at 5 pm, but that doesn't mean the crew has to come at 5 pm. The earliest they can come is 5 pm, and the later they can come at 6 pm. This is all uncertain, it's not a fixed time."
Jiang Zixue nodded. So that was the case. It seemed that opportunities were reserved for the hardworking. Even if there was only a glimmer of hope, the extras had to get up at five to wait.
No crew would tell them what time to come tomorrow. No one would worry about whether they could sleep well. This was the reality.
"What's your name?" The girl said to Jiang Zixue. "I'm Lu Bing, from Guangshen."
"I'm Jiang Zixue, from Yanjing." Jiang Zixue smiled. "Nice to meet you. I'm new here. If there's anything I don't understand, please enlighten me."
"Why do people from Yanjing come to Qingdao? Is it harder to find a job in Yanjing's circle? " Lu Bing was startled. "I thought I've been here for a year and have gained some experience. I thought I'd want to go to Yanjing's circle."
Jiang Zixue shook her head. "Yanjing might be harder. At least there's Sky Entertainment here. Once I'm recognized by Sky Entertainment's Chairman Xu, I'll have a chance."
Lu Bing couldn't help but laugh when she heard Jiang Zixue's words. "Beauty, I don't think you're from an ordinary family. Of course, you're also very pretty. You're so pretty even without makeup. You should be confident."
Jiang Zixue couldn't help but laugh.
"But …" Lu Bing's tone changed. "Chairman Xu of Sky Entertainment Group has great beauties like Ruan Qingshuang and Zuo Meiyan by his side. Chou Yeon, who is always by his side, is also a great beauty. Even the A-list celebrities in Sky Entertainment Group didn't have a chance. Ling Zhiling, Fan Bing, and the others couldn't even enter Mr. Xu's eyes. Do you really think you have a chance? "
Jiang Zixue was stunned. "Xu Yun's standards are so high?"
Hearing Jiang Zixue call Mr. Xu by his name, Lu Bing's face turned ugly. "You better watch your words. Don't get yourself into trouble because of your blabbering."
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Only then did Jiang Zixue realize Xu Yun's status and prestige in this circle.
"I'm telling you, Chairman Xu is one of the few righteous people in this circle," Lu Bing said. "All the artists in Sky Entertainment Group know his temper. I heard that there was once a newcomer, Wang Xinyu, who wanted to get close to Xu Yun. She wanted to use this method to get to the top. However, she was rejected by Chairman Xu. "
Jiang Zixue's mouth dropped open. She didn't think there would be such a thing. "Then what happened?"
"Then? You can imagine the result. Think about it, what did Chairman Zuo and Chairman Ruan of Sky Entertainment Group think of Chairman Xu? Of course, they wouldn't allow such a person to stay in Sky Entertainment. "Lu Bing said." Of course, they directly banned him. Wang Xinyu was forced to terminate her contract. "
Jiang Zixue was intrigued by this gossip. There were so many things going on in this circle.
"It's not easy to survive in this circle. Fortunately, we don't have to deal with those things." Lu Bing said. "After Wang Xinyu left Sky Entertainment, she started to use all kinds of scandals to create hype. Although she has a bit of fame, she can never become a respected artist. She can only be called a b * tch."
Hearing their conversation, someone beside them couldn't help but interrupt. "So what if she's a b * tch? As long as she's famous, it's fine. However, she's much better off than staying in Sky Entertainment and being banned. It doesn't matter why people pay attention to her. Whether it's because of the scandal, because of the flesh, or because of dirty thoughts, as long as there are enough people paying attention and she's famous enough, it's fine. "
"The future of being famous is different. So what if she doesn't want this kind of fame?" Lu Bing didn't seem to care about this.
However, the girl who interrupted said, "She's still much better than you."
This girl was the one who took the initiative to find the bearded man last night. The girl who was tricked by the man with the cape.
In her world, as long as she could become famous, she could do anything. She didn't care what kind of celebrity she became. As long as she was famous enough, she didn't care if people scolded her. So what if she had a beautiful background? So what if she cheated on someone? So what if she was exposed?
As long as she wanted to become famous, even if the news was fake, she would gladly accept it.
Perhaps this was how strange this society was.
If a good-looking girl with a great figure wanted to become famous, no one would look at her with positive energy like sending an old lady across the road.
People liked to see scandals, dirty things. It was as if seeing those things could prove that she was a white lotus that could emerge from the mud untainted.
Therefore, if she wanted to become famous quickly, she could only use this method.
However, this method would only last for a short time. There were many stars who completely faded out of the entertainment industry.
"I don't want to become that kind of person at all." Lu Bing said. "That kind of bad reputation won't only affect you. Even your family will be implicated. In the end, they will also be affected because of this kind of thing."
"You're thinking too much. As long as you're famous and have money, nothing will be a problem." The girl said. "No matter how many scandals you have, as long as you're famous enough, you can become a goddess in everyone's eyes. Even if it's just a goddess that makes people want to sleep with you, you can still find the man you want. You can still give your parents a good enough life."
Lu Bing said, "Our values are different."
"Newbie, you won't have a chance to rise if you learn from her." The girl said and turned to leave. It seemed like she didn't want to continue standing with them.
Jiang Zixue admired the girl who had that kind of thinking. She was indeed willing to go all out. She was suitable for this industry that could easily dye people black.
"She's been cheated more than once." Lu Bing said, "I advise you to stay away from her. Who knows how many small special agents have used the excuse of getting her to sleep with them. Who knows how many assistant directors have patronized her …"
Jiang Zixue's expression was still very surprised. After all, that girl looked so young, not even 20 years old …
"Her values are completely different from mine," Lu Bing said. "I believe that sooner or later, she will be appreciated by the director with her acting skills."
"What about her?" Jiang Zixue asked curiously.
"She believes that sooner or later, she will be able to sleep with a director who is willing to make her the female lead." Lu Bing said, "She said that acting skills aren't needed at all. As long as the director says you can do it, then you can do it."
Jiang Zixue didn't agree.
"She said that those idol dramas don't require any acting skills at all." Lu Bing said, "No matter how exaggerated or fake the performance, as long as the director says it's okay, then it's okay. So she believes that she can sleep her way into the future. "
Jiang Zixue shook her head helplessly. "She's still so young. Why does she have to be like this? She still has a long way to go. "
"I'm afraid that her future won't be bright," Lu Bing said. "I heard that she has already had four abortions. Her friends said that the doctor has already warned her. If she continues to have abortions, perhaps she won't be qualified to be a mother anymore …"
Was this industry really that dark? Jiang Zixue thought to herself. But looking at Lu Bing, she could tell herself that there was still a positive energy in this industry. Not everyone was willing to dirty themselves.
At that moment, a van suddenly drove over. A few people got out of the van. A young assistant director wearing a hat and vest got out. All the extras waiting at the entrance of the commune swarmed over.
