Edit|Eat fish and know entertainment
In Hengdian, the place known as China's Hollywood, there is a battle between dreams and reality every day, like an endless battle, and only those who are truly brave enough to chase their dreams can experience the pain and joy in it.
Behind this flashy stage, there are countless silent bitterness. Xiao Jiang is a meteor on the stage of this drama, illuminating the difficult life of the group performers.
Once in the system, he was tired of the ordinary life, so he resolutely chose the seemingly glamorous path of group performance.
The world of ensemble performances in Hengdian is not as rosy as it seems. Every day, there is competition for limited job opportunities in the announcement group, the salary is unstable, and sometimes the income for a day is not even as good as that of food delivery.
It is not easy to get ahead, in addition to relying on strength, you also need to have the blessing of "hard indicators" such as height and appearance. It's like a brutal tryout, and only the best can take their place on this stage.
The ensemble performers play a variety of roles, sometimes even lying still for long periods of time, enduring the heat or cold. They may not know that behind every shot is the aura of the stars, and they are just embellishments on the backdrop.
This kind of unfairness is chilling, and the group performers often pay hard but often get only meager remuneration and endless hard work. What's even more touching is that even in such a difficult environment, the big stars in the crew can still squander their privileges wantonly.
They have assistants to serve and stand-ins to escort them, but the group performers can only fight alone. This world of difference makes people lament the injustice of society.
However, the work of ensembles is not limited to hardship, and they often have to face challenges to morality and dignity. Sometimes, in order to earn more money, they have to put down their dignity and replace them naked, naked bodies, and this bitter experience is heart-wrenching.
Once injured, they often find it difficult to get even basic rest and treatment, and this inhumane treatment of the group performers is even more distressing.
In this illusory world of film and television, although the dream is beautiful, the reality is cruel. Many ensembles had to face endless hardships and challenges, and even lost their dignity and respect.
We should cherish everyone around us more, do not despise those who contribute silently, and reflect on the happiness and dignity of reality while chasing dreams.
Xiao Jiang's experience is only the tip of the iceberg, and in this seemingly brilliant industry, there are countless silent bitterness and helplessness. The ensemble performers play countless roles in front of the camera, but they are often just the presence of a backdrop.
They may not have a halo, but they use tenacity and courage to perform their own theater of life. In the paradise of group performances in Hengdian, it is even more difficult to become that dazzling star than gambling.
Imagine what you're doing at three or four o'clock in the morning? Lie in bed and enjoy your dreams? Wrong! In Hengdian, at this point, you've probably been called out of bed. Don't expect a good night's sleep, the pace here is even faster than in the city centre.
Every job is fought for in the group, and if you don't grab it, it is equivalent to giving up the opportunity. So, if you want to mix a little bit in this place, hand speed is definitely key.
Waiting is another daily routine of Hengdian group performances. You know, squatting on the set is more common than anything else. Waiting for the director's call, waiting for a moment in front of the camera.
The wait is sometimes even longer than the performance itself. But how could you possibly stumble upon that opportunity?
But when the opportunity really comes, it is often a star-studded drama. You see, a bunch of people huddled together, like a group on stage, waiting for the director's command.
Movements, expressions, all have to follow instructions, just like a group of puppets staging a story that has been set by someone. Oh, and don't forget, sometimes, you'll have to put on heavy armor for those intense battle scenes. This is not something that the average person can imagine.
When it comes to salary, heh, ordinary group performances don't have any big spending. It is said that 120 yuan per 10 hours is their standard. But that's not the lowest, let alone compared to the real stars.
Can you imagine? In this glamorous entertainment industry, they can only be regarded as a small member, obscure, like passers-by.
But even so, there are still people who gradually stand out in this circle, such as Kong Jinyun. He used to be an ordinary group performer, but fortunately, he jumped to the top of a special actor.
You say, how lucky he is! When a tourist recognizes him, he is like picking up a sparkling diamond in this world full of light.
Special actors, compared to ordinary group performances, seem to be a little more advanced. They need better looks, better acting skills. However, after a long time, sometimes they will lose themselves and think that they are real stars.
However, the harsh reality often knocks them back into shape, telling them that they are just a small part of the circle and that no one cares in particular.
Stars in the entertainment industry, what a dazzling existence! They are the objects that everyone looks up to, and the embodiment of dreams. And in the pursuit of this dream, there are often more people who are forgotten in the corner.
They are those obscure "ants", even if they have more enthusiasm and dreams, it is difficult to turn over. However, in this challenging environment, new favorites such as micro-short dramas have emerged.
In recent years, the rise of micro-short dramas has given many non-star actors more opportunities. Compared with traditional film and television dramas, micro-short dramas pay more attention to the development of the plot and are interesting, so the requirements for actors are relatively low.
This gives hope to people who were once confined to group performances. The micro-short drama gives the once marginalized extras more room to play. However, it is not easy to become a real actor through micro-short dramas.
You see, even if there are more opportunities, it doesn't mean that success is just around the corner. The road to fame is still long and arduous. Well, in life, there is always a little hope. Just like those young people who dream of stardom.
They may face countless difficulties and challenges, but they still choose to move forward bravely. Because, life is like this, full of unknowns and possibilities. Perhaps, the next star will be one of them.
I hope we can all look at the world with a more tolerant attitude and give those group performers the respect and care they deserve.
On the stage of Hengdian, known as "China's Hollywood", although countless people dream of becoming the next star every day, the reality is so cruel that it makes people's hearts cold.
Hengdian, known as the "Hollywood of China", attracts countless people to chase their dreams. But behind this shining stage, there are countless poignant stories of group performances.
They may not have a halo, but they use tenacity and courage to perform their own theater of life.
