    How many artists are there in Xiangjiang?  There are few statistics on this issue, and no specific data can be obtained. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away from the TV industry, singers, dramas and Peking operas, etc., just from the film industry, more than 200 movies are released in Hong Kong every year, and at the peak, it once exceeded 500.  Movies first go through the screening of several major theater chains, and good works enter the major theater chains and become mainstream movies.  The second-rate movies are released one after another in various movie theaters, and every year there are a few that occasionally become a hit and are snapped up by theater owners, who also laugh at the theater chain's vision.  But this is only a minority.  Once again, those who have to wait can only get it to the video hall for screening.  There are hundreds of movies, and each movie requires as few as a dozen actors or as many as hundreds or thousands. The annual demand for artists is basically maintained at more than 20,000 people.  Although some artists can take on several or even ten or twenty films a year, the total number of people is usually more than 5,000.  With so many actors, there are usually no more than 300 people whose faces can be remembered by the audience. Only some people can be called "stars" now, and most people are familiar with them, and no more than 30 people are familiar with them.  Five thousand people compete for 300 or even 30 positions. The situation within the industry is tragic. Outside the industry, thousands of boys and girls strive to join the industry every year. This also means that except for a few people,  Most artists are in a position that can be replaced at any time, and even among the three hundred people, it is not safe ¡Ü¡ô³¤¡Ü¡ô·ç¡Ü¡ôÎÄ¡Ü¡ôѧ, w¦æ¡Ñ¡ýt.  With such intensity of competition, various unspoken rules are simply unavoidable.  There is no shortage of handsome men and beauties in the entertainment industry, but there are few well-behaved people among the rich and wealthy with capital, and then there are the managers and directors below.  There are also the mafia gangs and overseas investors who enter the industry waving banknotes The film industry is always a mixed bag of dragons and snakes.  Film companies on Xiangjiang will search for some artists to recruit some artists, and artists who belong to each company account for about one and a half of the total.  The more than 1,000 to 2,000 people with reliable backstage accounted for more than half of the resources, and the remaining thousands of people except for a few weirdos.  Most of the time, I can only pick up some leftovers. These are the army of supporting actors in the Hong Kong film industry.  If there were no accidents, their ending would be to retire sadly after failing to make a mark for a few years, and then be filled in by juniors who are full of dreams.  It is difficult for artists without a film company to back them up. There are really not many opportunities for them. Most film companies will give opportunities to their own artists. Occasionally, they will look for resources from other film companies with better relationships.  Just hire some big names with high salaries.  In such a general environment, a slightly weird company like Oriental DreamWorks in Hong Kong has attracted special attention from the artist community.  Oriental DreamWorks' influence in Hong Kong is no less than that of Jiahe Art City and Shaw Brothers.  certainly.  The locals in Xiangjiang basically know that Shaw Brothers is no longer good. In addition to the lack of theaters, Oriental DreamWorks is undoubtedly one of the top three companies in Xiangjiang.  Such a big company only has single-digit artists, so there is a large-scale audition before every movie starts.  Of course, the most important roles are usually those chosen by the company in advance or recommended by co-directors, but despite this, Oriental DreamWorks still provides a lot of opportunities for artists.  For most artists, this opportunity is too precious.  It's not something to miss. Although there are a lot of contracted artists and even TV artists who have schedules coming to look for opportunities, at least I and others are on the same starting line for the time being.  "Jialing, Junru, is it appropriate for us to do this?" Zeng Huaqian asked worriedly.  Wireless has very strict control over its artists.  In addition to Shaw Brothers, if you want to interview with other film companies, you must go to the headquarters for approval. Only after approval can you go.  The three women did not notify the company in advance.  "What's inappropriate? Just follow the procedures. How can we have a chance? Wireless won't get approval for ten days or eight days." Wu Junru said nonchalantly.  "It's better to report it to the headquarters after we are successful. It's okay. I'm familiar with Zhang from the artist department. Just tell me." There were so many people interviewing, and Wu Junru was really not sure that she would get the chance. She said seriously  It's really embarrassing to go and report, and then come back dejected without getting any roles.  ¡°I think that¡¯s right, let¡¯s just ignore these things for now.¡± Liu Jialing agreed.  "That's right, Qianqian, don't follow the rules too much. If you follow the rules too much, you'll end up at a disadvantage. We don't have any decent jobs at Wireless anyway. If we get the opportunity this time, Wireless will agree." I heard both of them say this.  , Zeng Huaqian simply put aside her worries for the time being. She was interviewing the heroine. This chance was really slim, so she should treat it as an exercise to lay the foundation for the future.  ??Zeng Huaqian and Liu Jialing are both top-notch beauties within TVB, but they still feel apprehensive standing here.  After all, I haven¡¯t even acted in a few decent TV shows.?As a newcomer, I really don¡¯t have much confidence in my acting skills.  Even if they are competing for their looks, the female artists who came for the interview are not bad looking.  There are also many well-known artists who have "condescended" to be lined up with them.  There is no way, the heroine of DreamWorks is not to be missed. If you want to get the opportunity, you have to put down your reserve and queue up honestly.  ¡°Is there any mistake, the people who filmed the TV show also came to snatch it?¡± A voice suddenly reached the ears of the three women.  The three women were startled, but after listening carefully, they found that they were not talking about themselves, but the person in front of them.  It¡¯s right to think about it, who knows them now?  "It seems to be from ATV." Wu Junru said in a low voice.  "That's right. You should be doing well in ATV. How come you are here for an interview?" Liu Jialing felt even more nervous. In terms of reputation, she alone outshone the three of them.  "If you have the opportunity, who wouldn't want to switch to filmmaking? So don't miss the opportunity. We don't know how many years it will take to get to her position, but now people still come and line up?  "Even if a TV artist reaches the top level, his or her income will be at the level of a second-tier artist in the film industry.  As long as the film company is willing to extend an olive branch, there is no TV star that cannot be tapped.  The only way TVB and ATV can retain big-name artists is liquidated damages, which makes the relationship between TV stars and TV stations increasingly tense.  For famous artists, there is really some pressure to be ranked here. The whispers of the competitors around them reach their ears intentionally or unintentionally, exerting mental pressure. There is only one leading role, so the chance is slim.  If he didn't get the opportunity and an unknown newcomer got it, there would inevitably be a burst of ridicule in a small circle.  "Don't talk before the interview. If you want to talk, please leave." The staff stepped forward to maintain order and relieved some people.  But the real test has not yet begun, and no one dares to relax.  As colleagues entered the room and came out one by one, some looked depressed, some even cried, and some were expressionless, with no trace of sadness or joy.  Of course, some artists looked relaxed when they came out, and some even smiled, which seemed to be recognized to a certain extent.  The three women are getting more and more nervous, especially Zeng Hua*qian, who really has the urge to turn around and leave immediately.  After some time, it was their turn.  Liu Jialing, who was at the front, entered the venue first.  "Please take a seat." The person sitting in the middle said without raising his head.  Liu Jialing sat down as she was told, looked up, and suddenly felt even more nervous.  ¡°I have met this person myself. Although he is not from TVB, he is familiar with the TVB group, especially with TVB¡¯s gold medal producer Wang Tianlin. The two seem to have a master-student relationship.  "Does he know that he is from TVB?" Liu Jialing thought, and then smiled bitterly. She had already explained it in the information she submitted. After all, for her who has never appeared in a TV show, the TVB artist training class is the only thing she can offer.  Hands-on experience.  Lin Lingdong has only directed one movie now and joined New Art City last year.  He didn't know how DreamWorks found him, but of course he couldn't miss this opportunity, not to mention that he quite liked the script.  I looked through the actor information. Is it a student of TVB?  Well, I still don¡¯t have any acting experience.  Needless to say, unless the talent is amazing, it will basically fall apart.  Lin Lingdong¡¯s second work is another collaboration with the large company DreamWorks. He doesn¡¯t want to take risks, even if the other party has certain talents.  What Liu Jialing didn¡¯t know was that she was basically out of luck before the interview even started.  (To be continued) PS: The chapter is wrong, trouble.  It¡¯s not easy to change.
