Even though Lin Ping was so poor that he could barely open a pot, he still had a lot of trendy clothes in his wardrobe. Although Lin Ping was wearing very old-fashioned clothes now, he still had a lot of good clothes, and most of them were very strange clothes. Later, Lin Ping learned from his memories that this was also a common method used by the wandering clan to attract the attention of directors and producers.
Lin Ping took a look and chose a few clothes that were not so exaggerated, not so shocking, and looked more normal. He changed into them. Instantly, his spirit was shaken. The saying that clothes make the man was true.
Lin Gang didn't change into any weird clothes. They already had a " certain identity ", and they were basically reserved now. They didn't need to rely on this to attract attention.
At present, Lin Ping's most important task was to feed his empty stomach. Hengdian was not big, and it would not take more than an hour to walk through a few streets in the town. However, this palm-sized place showed signs of becoming a new migrant town. Lantern Road and Wansheng Street were the most popular because of the new and old "Heng Drifters". Every autumn and winter, there would be at least 2000 foreigners here, and this did not include those who were not registered. Like most ordinary towns in China, Hengdian had a night market on the streets and a chain of restaurants. It was very easy to find a restaurant that could fill one's stomach, provided that one had money. Lin Ping and Lin Ping didn't have much money, but it was enough for a meal. However, the two of them were going to meet Director Zhang soon, so they didn't have time to eat. The two of them hurriedly bought a steamed bun and immediately went to see Director Zhang after eating.
When Lin Ping and Wang Yao arrived at the hotel where the film crew was staying, they didn't immediately see Director Zhang. They had just settled down in Hengdian, so there were still many things to prepare and do. However, while waiting, Lin Ping still saw quite a few celebrities, including Ning Jing, Sun Li, Zheng Peipei, and others, walking past him. However, the two of them didn't go up to ask for autographs or anything. That would really be too degrading. Besides, they were used to seeing celebrities too often!
It was almost four in the afternoon when Director Zhang finally arrived. Director Zhang was of medium build, had a square face, was slightly plump, and had a smile on his face.
Lin Ping found some information about him from his memory. He didn't expect that the last time he saw him, he was still a script clerk. Now, he was promoted to director. Although he was an assistant director, it was undoubtedly a carp leaping over the dragon's gate to become a dragon. His status was different. Who could guarantee that he wouldn't become a director in the future!
"Congratulations! Director Zhang has been promoted!" Lin Ping chuckled. There was no need to mention acting. It was always right to congratulate him on his promotion first!
Director Zhang had a smug look on his face, but he said,"No, no!" Naturally, he felt great in his heart. These two people knew how to behave. When the time came, he would arrange for more important roles for them.
Although they had already arrived in Hengdian, and the crew members were usually pre-selected, it was impossible for the crew to find all the roles. They would still have to find them locally in Hengdian. Although the power of the crew was basically in the hands of the director and producer, the assistant director still had this power. Instead of giving it to others, it was better to give it to his own people.
Lin Ping said," Director Zhang, it's getting late. Why don't we go out and find a place to have a meal? We can talk while we eat. How about that?!"”Although he only had so much money left, he still needed to invest in some of the necessary investments.
Director Zhang waved his hand and said with a smile,"I appreciate your kind intentions. I know you guys better than to waste money on these places. Besides, our production team has a dinner party tonight, so I really can't get away!”
Lin Ping smiled brightly, but he thought that this person's heart wasn't bad and was worth befriending.
Director Zhang patted his chest. He would definitely find a good role for Lin Ping and Lin Gang. Lin Ping and Lin Gang were both very grateful. If they couldn't find any scenes to film, they might starve to death here!
Many people asked why they didn't become extras. Being extras was at least 30 yuan a day, and at least they wouldn't starve to death. But in fact, these vagrants were so strange, especially Lin Ping and Lin Gang, who had a certain status and a certain reputation. They had their own persistence and pride. They would rather stick to their ideals with poverty. Being extras without a single line was simply trampling on their ideals.
As a transmigrator, Lin Ping didn't really understand what kind of mentality this was. Perhaps it was because he had been polished by society in his previous life. Although he still had some enthusiasm, he could no longer find such a hot-blooded impulse to sacrifice everything for his ideals. This was also a kind of sadness, wasn't it? However, he still admired their persistence.
The current entertainment industry was full of colors, and it had already dazzled everyone's eyes. Who would still remember their past perseverance? Perhaps only these people who were still rushing around for roles were left!
However, Lin Ping's goal wasn't here. It was to write. Writing had always been his hobby, or perhaps it could be said to be a dream. He liked the joy of being popular when he wrote something. The fact that someone liked his work was the motivation for him to persevere and complete those failed works. This was also his persistence and his dream.
Just as Lin Ping and Lin Gang were about to leave, a pretty woman in her twenties in a business suit walked down the stairs. When she saw Director Zhang, Lin Ping, and Lin Gang, she paused for a moment before walking over to them.
Seeing this woman walk over, the smile on Director Zhang's face immediately disappeared. He shouted at her,"Producer Cai!"
Lin Ping and Lin Gang were stunned. Director Zhang was already an assistant director, so if he called him a producer, he should be the producer of this drama. However, they didn't expect the producer of this drama to be so young. He looked to be at most in his thirties. When it came to producers, people would think of Zhang Jizhong. Zhang Jizhong was the most successful producer in the entire country. No matter what the outside world thought of him, he was definitely qualified to be a good producer. He knew how to save money for investors and how to use money well. As a producer, he did not only consider funding, progress, and the logistics of the crew. He also considered the artistic style of the work, the shooting angle, the director, the actors, and the music of the work... This was unique in the film and television production industry in China today.
However, both the assistant director and the producer were existences that they had to look up to. Lin Ping and Lin Gang immediately said,"Hello, Producer Cai!"
