Although Jiangcheng was also a city with a developed entertainment industry, and the coastal area near Shanghai was filled with various agencies and entertainment companies, Jiangcheng did not have a strong film and television atmosphere like Beijing or Shanghai.
Guo Ziyi had only recently discovered this awkward situation. Although he wanted to continue playing small roles to increase his acting experience, he could not make bricks without straw. This film and television base did not even have a film and television base, so how could he have a chance?
However, Guo Ziyi's biggest strength was that he was fat … No, he was quick-witted … No, he was thick-skinned and had a sweet mouth!
Without a film and television base, he mingled in the school's film club every day, pestering the senior brothers and sisters of the film academy to impart their experience and even taking the initiative to buy drinks.
At first, no one was willing to pay attention to this annoying little fatty. After one or two months, he gradually gained the recognition of others. Not only were they willing to answer his questions, but they were also willing to bring him along to play if there was a chance to film a low-budget movie.
After all, this was Jiangcheng's film academy, which was the fourth biggest star factory in China after the Beijing Film Academy, the Shanghai Drama Academy, and the Shanghai Drama Academy. The school had set up a special fund to support student films, and the Jiangcheng Film Festival was supported by the Jiangcheng government.
The students could not afford to play in big film projects, but they had filmed many low-budget movies that cost tens of thousands of yuan. Even if they did not have a chance to appear on the big screen, they could still be used as practice for these future big directors and actors!
Of course, the role of a fatty was not available in every movie. Small roles that were suitable for a newcomer like Guo Ziyi were even rarer. However, it did not matter. When there were no suitable roles for Guo Ziyi, Guo Ziyi also worked tirelessly with the crew. He even did the work of a stage supervisor without asking for remuneration.
Everyone understood. Guo Ziyi had been influenced by his family since he was young. He was also well aware that this was just an emotional investment. The return was illusory and unreachable.
However, who knew if there would be a protagonist that matched him in the future? Guo Ziyi only hoped that when there was a chance in the future, these senior brothers and sisters would remember his name!
However, before he had the chance, someone else had gone ahead of him.
That night, Guo Ziyi received a call from a public phone booth.
"Teacher Guo!" The voice, the accent, and the way he addressed them made Guo Ziyi feel as if it was a lifetime ago. Wasn't this his little brother, Geng Sha, who he had not contacted for a month?
The last time they contacted each other, Geng Sha also ran to the phone booth to call Guo Ziyi. Geng Sha had a cell phone that his hometown friend left for him. However, he could not bear to use it to make long-distance calls as he felt that it was expensive.
The last time they contacted each other, it was because Geng Sha's fellow villagers had left the film base. The confused Geng Sha had asked Guo Ziyi about his whereabouts.
"Geng Sha, sigh, I told you to call me Xiao Guo …" After Guo Ziyi finished complaining, Geng Sha, who was not clear, began to excitedly report the good news to him.
"Teacher Guo, let me tell you something great. I've become the main character!" Geng Xia's Mandarin, which was mixed with a strong local accent, was still so familiar.
However, Geng, Geng Sha with him, Geng, Geng........ Main lead lead?
"That's right! A big director has taken a fancy to me, and he wants me to be the main lead in a movie. Yes, it's the big director when we were filming 'Great Chu Palace' … "Geng Sha rambled on.
Guo Ziyi was dumbfounded, and he could not help but feel a little sour in his heart.
Back then, his little follower had already become the main lead, but he was still fooling around …
At the same time, he felt a little powerless.
He had worked very hard, but why was the realization of his dream still so far away?
He had mixed feelings …
However, Guo Ziyi was not a jealous person. After Geng Sha finished speaking, he regained his original optimism and congratulated Geng Sha with a smile.
Geng Sha did not want to show off to Guo Ziyi. He called to tell Guo Ziyi that his crew was coming to Jiangcheng to film because Guo Ziyi had said before that he was studying in Jiangcheng.
"… Although the main lead is gone, the others are still being recruited. Moreover, it's still Big Brother Bin and Director Ruan who are recruiting extras. Teacher Guo, come and give it a try! I've told Director Ruan, and he can let you play a special role! "Geng Sha said sincerely.
"Really?" Guo Ziyi's interest was piqued. He could also increase his acting experience in Jiangcheng's crew. Guo Ziyi felt that this was a good opportunity.
"Of course it's true! Teacher Guo, sigh, why would I lie to you? "Geng Sha read out a string of numbers." This is Director Ruan's phone number, remember it. I might not be able to contact you for the time being, because the director asked me to follow the crew to the army for a week's special training tomorrow … "
Geng Sha's sincere nagging warmed Guo Ziyi's heart. He also said sincerely, "Geng Sha, thank you! Also, don't call me Teacher Guo, just call me Xiao Guo. I'm younger than you … "
"Aiya, what are you thanking me for, Teacher Guo. I can become the main lead now because you introduced me to Director Ruan and Big Brother Bin. You also encouraged me not to give up. Otherwise, I wouldn't have this opportunity now!" Geng Sha was still as honest as ever.
Guo Ziyi put down the phone and felt a little lost, but he quickly adjusted himself.
His own brother had already become the main lead with his own efforts. How could he slack off? He had to continue working hard and double his efforts!
…
Compared to the hardworking Guo Ziyi, the hardworking Ding Xiang, and the hardworking Murphy, Yang Yi's daily life was really like a salted fish …
Every day, other than three meals, housework, and a warm bed for his wife and children, he didn't have any big dreams. Even when writing novels, he just used the original ups and downs of the plot to torture the readers with the increasingly skilled level of breaking chapters. He didn't have any intention of increasing the speed of updating and earning more money.
Today, he was listening to music and reading in the coffee shop again. He was so bored that Ding Xiang couldn't continue reading.
"Brother Yang, don't you have any goals?" Ding Xiang couldn't help but ask him.
"Hmm … Goals?" Yang Yi pondered.
It seemed like he really didn't have any. If it was in his previous life, he would have already completed the Thousand Kills and become a legend in the assassin world. Perhaps he would have wanted to become stronger, from the strength of an A-level assassin to an S-level or SS-level, so that he could get rid of the shackles of the organization.
But now, he was living in a peaceful city with the identity of an ordinary person, living a normal life that he dreamed of. It seemed like becoming stronger didn't have much meaning.
"Maybe I have a goal. I want to build the world's largest amusement park for Xi Xi." Yang Yi really thought of one, and he said to Ding Xiang happily.
Ding Xiang thought he was joking and said unhappily, "It's not that kind of impossible dream. I mean, Brother Yang, don't you have anything you want to do recently?"
"Wait a minute, I have to take a call." Yang Yi looked at the phone that lit up. It was Mo Xiaojuan calling. He hurriedly waved his hand and picked up the phone.
After a while, he hung up the phone happily and said to Ding Xiang with a smile, "Yes, what I want to do recently is to hold a birthday party for Mo Fei. It's best to surprise her and give her a big surprise!"
Ding Xiang helplessly rolled her eyes.
Forget it, it's better not to try to save a salted fish.
