Play live in the “City of the Opera” Hengdian? This is equivalent to Wal-Mart next door to open a commissary, box horse fresh opposite to sell fish, not three or three, not dare to go to Liangshan. There are 200,000 people in Hengdian Group, and who would say that they have not read “The Self-cultivation of Actors”? It’s hard to play live here.
At 9 o’clock in the evening, the long Hengdian Wansheng Street is like an ancient Colosseum full of killing and battle.
An old aunt in his early 60s is wearing a Santa Claus red shirt, facing the camera, and dancing with the cool country’s heavy metal music, “Worship and Worship.” As long as it doesn’t rain, she will appear every night. Within 500 meters, at least 20 mobile phones are being broadcast live, and many boys and girls wearing Chinese clothes are shooting.
At present, in the hundreds of thousands of group performances in Hengdian, nearly one in ten people have their own live short video numbers.
They took pictures in the film and television city during the day, and they made live broadcasts at night. As long as the phone lens opened, it instantly turned into a “flow star”.
Can you give birth to the next Zhao Liying and Wan Guopeng from here? No one knows.
“We have 6,000 households in our village, and now I am a big star”
Some people say that in Hengdian, 99% of the dragons are “wasting life”, only 1% of people, the heart of the “moon.”
Ning Zhibin is this tiny 1%.
Before this, he worked as a well-drilling worker, hit a drill, smashed through the wall, and opened a small restaurant in his hometown, but he ended up failing.
A person to a middle-aged night, he remembered his dream of being 5 years old, how much he was eager to become an actor. When there was a thought of drifting, Ning Zhibin was already 35 years old. He had not brought much sense of accomplishment to himself during the first half of his busy life. He went down from his hometown in Tieling and wanted to try to see if he had an actor.
In August 2016, Ning Zhibin received the “first order” for the horizontal drift, and made a dragon suit for the “Military Division”. He saw Liu Tao slowly passing by, and his excitement was broken.
The right one is Ning Zhibin
In August, Hengdian, the sky is like is living in ten suns. He took a long gun and stood in the hot sun. For a long 12 hours, the wood on the soles of the feet was able to dry. Cooked eggs, Ning Zhibin body is the same as a shower, sticky and wet.
He stood guard while waiting for the camera. At that time, there was a need for a play to protect Sima Yi, and he got the chance. The line has a total of four words “protecting adults”. The first time because he was too excited, he did not stretch out and laughed. The second one was passed smoothly.
Although this scene did not appear in the film, he felt that he had reached the peak of his life.
This day, Ning Zhibin received 165 yuan, and returned to the rental room that was reluctant to open the air-conditioning monthly rent of 350 yuan. He almost fainted happily.
The Hengdian is a costume drama. There are many opportunities for boys. If you are hardworking, you will not be hungry. Ning Zhibin went to run almost every day, and he set up dragons and martial arts.
Learning while running a dragon. He thinks that the most powerful actor in the middle of the actor is Chen Daoming, and the best actress in the actress is Zhao Liying. He used Zhao Liying as a learning piece in the bridge with no expression in tears in Chu Chuan.
The end of the show, return to the rental room. Ning Zhibin began to recite the dramaThe lines of the starring actress, he eloquently interprets himself, over and over again, until the eyelids begin to wet.
“Watering up the history of mankind, ups and downs, rendering the chess and calligraphy paintings colorful, drunk, Liu Wei, mad, poetry, Zhang Yang, Cao Mengde, writing a banquet…” A line of about 200 words, he almost Nothing to breathe back.
These plots all appeared in Ning Zhibin’s fast hand number. When he came to Hengdian’s first year, he started shooting short videos. Like countless Hengdian dragon sets, he wanted to realize the actor dream through this small screen.
From the costume drama to the Taiwan version of the bitter drama, from the drama to the reversal film, in three years, he has accumulated more than 500,000 “movies.”
He experienced an unprecedented sense of accomplishment, realized the actor dream, and earned the first pot of gold in life.
“We have 6,000 households in our village. Now I have made me a big star.” He wants to earn 10 million and buy a car to go home. He thinks this is the standard for actors.
Married? “Or make money first. You can see that Liu Qiangdong’s hair is white and he can find a milk tea sister.”
“No longer pick up the dragon, it will lose the value”
In Ning Zhibin’s short video, there was a girl with a shofar. She is called Ai Qi, and they both met in the “Dragon War” crew.
Little Aiqi is the first girl in the crowd who will be very surprised to see, big eyes, white skin, palm-sized face, her costume looks very similar to Lin Yueru in “The Legend of the Sword and the Chivalrous Man”.
There is a hint of rivers and lakes, and there is a bit of temperament.
Before doing the horizontal drift, Xiao Aiqi had a financial work for nine to five in her hometown. It was also because she lived in the dream of an actor. She resigned from this stable job.
When I first came to Hengdian, she was picking up any dramas. The 50-day-a-day drama was also picked up. I got up at 3 in the morning.
Occasionally, in order to save costs, a crew director wants girls to play militia and shoot real guns. Little Aiqi did not hesitate toField, this is her first time taking a gun, the weight of the boulder-like gun body bent the backbone of this girl weighing only 90 pounds.
The first shot was fired inexperienced. She subconsciously stepped back a few steps. After the recoil, the people were standing still. The huge gunshots roared in their ears. “Frightened.” p>
This time was unsuccessful. The director asked for the second time. She tore a piece of paper into her ear and shot it again with a bang.
This movie, Aiqi received 70 yuan, and if the same action is replaced by a martial arts performance, it can receive 200 yuan.
The first thing many people come to Hengdian is to play a thin face needle, a needle of 1200 yuan. After a few months, “return the prototype” and continue to play, the face is small, there is a chance to run the prospect, run special, get more The opportunity to show your face.
In the dragon set, Xiao Aiqi’s appearance is that God is enjoying the meal, but because she is too short and has lost many opportunities, she can only practice acting and win with her true skills.
Three years in Hengdian, Xiao Aiqi has participated in many online dramas. Not long ago, he played the second female He Cui in the movie “Let”. Now she is no longer accepting the drama of the dragon, “continue to pick up, will lose the price.”
While picking up the character, she is also shooting short videos.
Little Aiqi imitates Lin Qingxia in a short video
Because of hobby costumes, she will imitate some ancient classic characters, such as Lin Qingxia’s undefeated oriental, in addition to consistency in makeup, she will also slap the character’s heart, understand and then shoot, she described this as ” There is a performance of the soul.”
Relying on imitation Lin Qingxia attracted a lot of fans for her. Some fans praised her and said that she is a natural costume actor.
“Imitate Bruce Lee, people who don’t know me always yell at me”
There is less than 15 square meters of living room in Xu Jiade and his roommate. The computer in front of the desk is playing the film “Jingwumen” starring Bruce Lee in 1972.
After a month and a half in Hengdian, Xu Bangde’s fast-moving fans rose to nearly 5,000 people. He has a clear positioning for himself: Bruce Lee imitator.
Xu Bangde loved Bruce Lee from an early age. He broadcasted “The Raptors Cross the River” on the TV. He looked at it and imitated it. He fell and got up and continued to practice. It was often not a broken hand or a broken foot. He thirstyHope to become a star, can be a rural person, talk about dreams.
On August 3, 2014, a 6.5-magnitude earthquake occurred in Ludian County, Zhaotong, Yunnan Province. The house of Xu Bangde’s house fell, and the land was also deserted. They asked other families to borrow 60,000 repair houses, in order to pay their debts, 14 years old. Xu Bangde ran to the Dongguan factory to work, four years.
A few years after working, he met a worker who graduated from Shaolin Temple in Shaoshan. He followed the workers at 5:30 every morning and ran in the morning to practice basic skills, leg presses, rollovers, 365 days, and rain or shine.
A rainy day, he went out to practice walking upside down, accidentally slipped, and the second toe of his right foot was broken. He didn’t want to pull the bones, ran to the factory, and watched the feet in the afternoon. , swollen into a steamed buns.
In Dongguan for four years, after the home loan was paid off, he thought of his dream, and he was not afraid to go forward with nothing. The 20-year-old boy was squatting 1,000 yuan and determined to go north.
The first drama that I received from Hengdian was a group performance of “Yan Yuntai”. He wore 10 kilograms of armor, and it was a day in the sun, and there was a group of stuns on the spot. Xu Bangde supported it. . Because the play timed out 5-6 hours, he finally got a reward of 160 yuan, which made him satisfied if he earned 70 yuan a day.
The left one is Xu Bangde
On the first day of Hengdian, Xu Bangde began to shoot short videos, while recording his life, while realizing his dream of star-studring, he put on the yellow jacket of Bruce Lee, left a long horn, and began to seriously imitate Bruce Lee.
I didn’t expect to be squandered by netizens, saying that he was hot, his movements were not in place, and so on.
He chose to ignore it. On countless criticized nights, he will flash in the “Brucelet Letters” in his mind, Ye Wen and Li Xiaolong said: “Pruning vines, standing the main brain.”
The gap between running dragons, he will stand silently behind the photographer, watching the changes in the plane and the scene. He filmed a play in Zhulin, which was followed by the crew.
There is a thick notebook at the bedside of Xu Bangde, used to keep a diary.
“2019.7.23 At 5:50 in the morning, I was too late to make a late arrival. This is the first day of my newspaper. I was late and gave me a warning.”
