In the eyes of people, Hengdian has always been regarded as a mountain of gold, attracting countless men and women to show their ambitions. Young people come here with dreams and enthusiasm in the hope that they can show their skills in this magical land and become the stars of all people. However, reality is often far from dreams. This article will take us to take a glimpse into the real situation of the Hengdian ensemble, explore their adventures and the stories behind them.
According to incomplete statistics, Hengdian now has more than 200,000 group performances. Behind this prosperity, there is a hidden hard life of the group performers. As nobodies, they undertake a large number of labor tasks every day, from morning to night, with meager wages and poor living. Some group performers even have to rely on the way of "taking a seat" to get extra remuneration, although this practice can bring some income, but also have to bear the suffocation of exploitation.
What's more, some group performers do not hesitate to invest in a costume worth tens of thousands of yuan in order to appear in front of the camera for even a moment. The purpose of this is nothing more than to get the attention of the director or screenwriter so that he can get more opportunities. But the results are often disappointing, and their efforts are often in return for aimless waiting and endless loss. This not only takes up their precious time, but also puts a heavy financial burden on their already strapped lives.
In addition, the Hengdian group performers are also facing the dilemma of a poor living environment. A group performer told reporters that in order to be able to rent a cheap house, he and several other people crowded together, and each person only had to pay 50 yuan a month in rent. However, even so, this humble house is often crowded with people, affecting their rest. Sometimes, some people who cause trouble will even take advantage of the situation and infringe on them. This living environment undoubtedly brought greater physical and mental torture to the already physically and mentally exhausted group performers.
What's even more distressing is that some group actors do not hesitate to trade their dignity in order to be able to show their faces in front of the camera. They have been reduced to the point of exchanging their flesh for a job opportunity, which is undoubtedly the greatest insult to them. This situation is not unique to Hengdian, and many young people have to make such sacrifices on the road to pursue their dreams.
In the face of various difficulties, many group performers had to give up their initial dreams and choose to leave Hengdian to find another way to make a living. Some people simply changed careers and started odd jobs, while others simply gave up their acting careers and chose other industries. However, there are also some group performers who choose to stick to it, looking forward to the arrival of a glimmer of opportunity. They still have a love for acting and are willing to continue on this long road even if life is hard.
In fact, there is a huge chain of interests behind the existing Hengdian group performance. In this chain of interests, there are production teams, intermediary companies, and some "masters", who are more or less benefiting from it.
In order to save costs, the production team often uses group performances to complete some large-scale shooting. They hire group actors at very low salaries and let them play roles such as soldiers and civilians in front of the camera, but they don't give much attention and development opportunities. This not only exploits the labor of the group performers, but also exacerbates the pressure on their survival.
Some agencies act as "middlemen", taking tasks from agencies and production teams to recruit group performers, and then distributing these tasks to a large number of group performers. In this process, the intermediary company will take a certain commission, which further shrinks the income of the group performance.
What's more, there are also cases where some "masters" take advantage of the situation of group performances to exploit. They use various means, such as high "protection fees", to force the group performers to comply, bringing them a heavy financial burden. This kind of behavior not only exacerbates the life difficulties of the group performers, but also makes it difficult for them to get rid of their dependence on these "masters".
All in all, behind the survival status of Hengdian group performances, there is a complex chain of interests. This not only increases the burden of life for group performers, but also greatly hinders their pursuit of their dreams. To solve this problem, it is far from enough to rely on the efforts of the group performers themselves, and it also needs to be effectively supervised and rectified by relevant departments.
The hardships behind the dream of stardomFor most people, being able to become a star is undoubtedly a beautiful dream. But in Hengdian, this dream is not easy to come by.
With their love for their acting careers, many group performers have come to Hengdian all the way, hoping to show their skills here and become stars in the spotlight. However, the reality often disappoints them. They face heavy work tasks, low wages, poor living conditions, and various forms of exploitation every day, which undoubtedly plunge their lives into deep suffering.
Some group performers do not hesitate to invest in expensive costumes in order to appear in front of the camera for even a moment. But the result is often endless waiting and loss. Others have to sell their dignity and trade their bodies for job opportunities. This situation is not uncommon in Hengdian, which is embarrassing.
What's even more distressing is that some group performers eventually had to give up their dreams and choose to leave Hengdian to find another way to make a living. They either change careers or enter other industries to make a living. And those group performances that still persist are also facing great pressure to survive.
It can be seen that this land that seems to be full of hope actually hides the hardships of many group performances. In order to chase their dreams, they have to endure all kinds of pressure and suffering. These silent sacrifices and efforts make people feel a lot of emotion.
Hengdian has always been regarded as a gateway to the road to stardom. But when we get a glimpse of the truth behind this prosperity, we can't help but feel sorry and heartache for what happened to the group performers. They have given too much in order to chase their dreams, but in exchange for disappointment and helplessness.
This situation is not only sad, but also reflects the many problems that exist in the pursuit of development in our society. We must face up to these problems and find ways to change the status quo and create a fairer and more humane environment for ensembles, so that they can truly realize their self-worth and pursue their dreams here.
Only in this way can Hengdian, a land full of hope, truly become the door to the road to stardom and open the door to dreams for more people. Let's work together to pave a path for the dreamers of this land.
