Ou Xiaojuan let out a long sigh. When she was a fledgling agent, her job was relatively simple and she only needed to take care of one or two artists, so she often accompanied them on the set to film.

At that time, she was usually where the artist was. Unless she went out to talk about things, she basically stayed together so that she could take care of and deal with emergencies.

Just like Chen Yiming and Lao Jia, except for sleeping at night, they are almost inseparable.

It was that experience at the grassroots level of the industry that made Ou Xiaojuan see many human sufferings.

Many extras squatted outside the high wall, eating and sleeping in the open air. They came early to work and went back very late.

Some of them are migrant workers nearby, and their work as extras can supplement their family income.

And some young people are just pursuing their dreams.

Some boys and girls have also learned many talents since childhood, and they can dance, sing, and play musical instruments.

But there are too many actors like this, and they don't stand out among the huge crowd of actors.

Many people try all kinds of tricks just to play the male (female) number n in the drama. No one will care about them, and no one can remember them. However, just for such a role, they still have to pay a huge price.

Everyone dreams of being a star, but not everyone can become a star. There are many young actors with good acting skills, but they have no backstage and no luck, so they can only be buried in the vast sea of ​​people.

As time goes by, as I get older, I no longer have the chance.

At first, Ou Xiaojuan felt sorry for these people who had dreams, but later she saw too many and became numb.

Later on, she was no longer a small manager and took on more and more important tasks. When she reached a high position, it was difficult for her to interact with the extras, and she gradually forgot about them.

Seeing Lin Yu's script today reminded Ou Xiaojuan of those people again. Those squatting under the high wall waiting for opportunities are definitely not the same people she used to be, but their moods have definitely not changed, and their dreams have definitely not changed either.

.

Ou Xiaojuan came back from her thoughts and said with a smile, "I didn't expect your script to be so special. It's cloaked in comedy, but it actually writes the sadness of the little characters so vividly and so vividly that I thought I was

Even though he is so hard-hearted, he can still feel the humility and helplessness of the protagonist as a small person, and feel sorry for him."

"You are not hard-hearted at all." Lin Yu said like an old friend.

During the time that Lin Yu has worked with Ou Xiaojuan, he has gotten to know her very well.

Ou Xiaojuan always looks very cold on the surface, even a little difficult to approach, but in fact she is very kind and soft inside, and she is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

If it weren't for her kindness, there wouldn't be so many people who were reluctant to leave Shengkong. At least the people in the entertainment department were not willing for her to leave. After Ou Xiaojuan left, they no longer missed their former leader all the time.

Ou Xiaojuan twitched the corner of her mouth and shook her head, "After reading too much, I feel more and more numb, but there must be a bottom line in life. I once told myself not to be too emotional, because there are too many pitiful people. If everyone sympathizes with

, given the opportunity, the Performing Arts Department will become a charity, so gradually I will not pay too much attention to those extras, but I still try to abide by the bottom line of the role based on my ability, at least where I can see it, everyone

A certain range of fairness can be maintained.”

Lin Yu could understand what Ou Xiaojuan said very well. In the past, Ou Xiaojuan was just a small agent, following a star to run events and work on the crew, so the people she came into contact with were the people at the bottom who were responsible for docking and service. Of course, there were also many extras in the crew. She

I will use my position to introduce some jobs to extra actors who have acting skills and work hard.

However, as Ou Xiaojuan's status becomes higher and higher, she has to take care of all aspects of things, and there are more and more actors to be responsible for. Ou Xiaojuan is even responsible for the entire company's artists. Her responsibilities have become greater and she needs to take care of everyone.

She no longer has the energy to take care of those extras who are not even contracted artists.

It's not that Ou Xiaojuan is hard-hearted, but that she really has no time to care.

But Ou Xiaojuan has always guarded her bottom line, otherwise she would not have fallen out with Shengkong's shareholders over the casting issue and finally left Shengkong.

Lin Yu still admires Ou Xiaojuan's dedication to her career.

"Some things are inherently powerless. I have also been a group actor. There are too many people struggling at the bottom. Sometimes it not only requires strength, but also luck. Our film only reflects those people.

It’s just a living situation, nothing can be changed." Lin Yu said calmly.

Ou Xiaojuan's eyes suddenly lit up. She had almost forgotten that Lin Yu had also been an extra in the crew as an actor. Maybe it was this experience that allowed him to write such a immersive script. She thought in her heart

think.

"It just so happens that Zhou Zibo has also been an extra on the set, so he should be familiar with many scenes in the movie, so there will be no difficulty in performing them." Ou Xiaojuan analyzed.

Lin Yu nodded, he had no doubts about Zhou Zibo's acting skills.

"Now while Yang Zibin is filming Qin Xiaochuan's movie, our project during this period is this one, and we can start filming as soon as possible." Lin Yu said.

Ou Xiaojuan was full of enthusiasm, "Okay, I'll reveal the news first, but keep it low-key, don't say too much, and maintain our usual mysterious style."

"Okay, just let the news out about the comedy style and the fact that the lead actor is Zhou Zibo. You don't need to talk about anything else," Lin Yu added.

"Where's the title?" Ou Xiaojuan confirmed again.

"The title of the film can be said to be "The King of Comedy"." Lin Yu felt that the title of the film should be revealed, so that everyone can discuss it in a more targeted way, and the title will not cause spoilers.

After receiving the task, Ou Xiaojuan left Lin Yu's office.

...

"Hello?"

Qin Xiaochuan reluctantly answered the phone.

When he is filming on the set, he hates being disturbed the most, and they are unrelated people.

In Qin Xiaochuan's mind, Peng Zhigang is an irrelevant person, knows nothing about movies, has no ability to appreciate movies at all, is impetuous and shallow, and if it weren't for Peng Zhigang being a big financier, Qin Xiaochuan would never answer his call.

Of course, Peng Zhigang had no idea about Qin Xiaochuan's inner activities.

He had just received news from elsewhere that Guoguo Culture Media was going to make a movie again, so he quickly told Qin Xiaochuan.

"They are making a movie again?" Qin Xiaochuan was also a little surprised.

It’s not that he’s afraid that hitting the schedule will affect the box office of his movie, he’s completely surprised that Guoguo Culture Media was able to launch another movie in such a short period of time.

"What subject matter?" Qin Xiaochuan didn't want to directly assert the other party's script level, so he wanted to ask.

"Comedy, the title is "The King of Comedy", starring Zhou Zibo." Peng Zhigang told all the information he had found out.

Qin Xiaochuan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, "Okay, I understand."

If it were a script like "The Pursuit of Happiness", Qin Xiaochuan would still care a little bit, but a comedy? He doesn't care at all.

And the name sounds very cliché. It's actually called "The King of Comedy". Even if this kind of movie is full of laughs, it can only be watched by ordinary people after dinner. No one will watch it again. It has no depth.

The movie is not destined to become a classic.

Just laugh once and that's it. This is still a situation where the laughter points are very dense. If the photo is not funny enough, it will only be embarrassing.

And Zhou Zibo is not a very famous actor. Recently, he seems to be most famous for being the male protagonist of a TV series. Although the TV series is very popular, he has no other popular works to maintain his popularity, and he is still in a state of neither ups and downs.

Not everyone can act comedy well.
