This is the 3255 real-life story we tell.
I am A Gui from the countryside, a post-90s Guangzhou boy who once performed as a group in Hengdian.
When I was a child, my family was very poor, and my father supported our family of five by chopping wood. In order to support my family, I dropped out of school early and went to work in a factory for ten years. In the past ten years, the person who wears the most is the small shoes given by the leader, which is extremely embarrassing.
Occasionally, I saw the miracle that the hero in "King of Comedy" finally jumped the dragon door through his own unremitting efforts, so I decided to leave everything and go to Hengdian to shoot!
But when I arrived in Hengdian, I knew that there was not a day when I was willing to endure hardships, and I could not reap true love by giving my heart to a person. I tried my best, but ended up with nothing.
(take a break after filming)
My hometown is in a village in Haifeng County, Guangzhou. My father is a typical farmer. He helps people cut firewood every day, and then bundles the firewood and sends it to the county town with his 28-inch tricycle. In this way, we can earn 30 yuan a day to feed our family of five.
However, even if life doesn't open the pot, my family still takes special care of me. At home, I am the youngest, and I have brothers and sisters on it. They carry all the hard work at home, and always take the best things, a new pair of socks and new clothes, which are very common to many families. For me, that's the best thing! Not only that, I am not allowed to do more farm work on weekdays.
My childhood was poor, but it was happy, and it was the affection that made me bleak and colorful.
I kept all this in mind. Although I didn't say it, I told myself that I must earn money in the future and repay my family for taking care of me.
For peasant families like us, going to school is a very extravagant thing, and more than ten years of cold life to bet on an unknown future, for me is a matter of great risk. Therefore, after graduating from junior high school, I decided to drop out of school and go out to be self-sufficient as soon as possible.
(go out to work)
Going out, at first I entered the factory under the introduction of relatives and friends and became an assembly line worker, living a life of paper-cutting and binding all day, which was extremely boring. Although I have a salary of four or five thousand a month, it is impossible to support my dream of having a home in a big city. At that time, I talked about a girlfriend and broke up with me because of practical problems.
After working in the factory for nearly ten years, I finally decided to leave this place that solved my temporary crisis, but could not hold up my dream!
In 2020, after leaving the factory, I heard others say that delivering takeout made money. As long as you are willing to bear hardships, it is not a problem to earn more than ten thousand a month.
The salary at the beginning of ten thousand words, to me, the attraction is self-evident, so I began to deliver takeout!
But what I didn't expect was that I grabbed orders and delivered takeout all day and night, thinking that as long as I worked hard, everything would be fine. However, in a delivery process, I ordered delivery ahead of time, and it didn't take long for the order to be delivered. After stationmaster knows firm say company regulation, I violated a regulation, want to deduct 500 money!
(working outside)
In fact, this situation of early delivery is very common, as long as you communicate with the customer, the money can be completely deducted. If you insist on withholding the money, it may be that the leader has deducted the money, and it is useless for me to argue with reason.
A light word from the stationmaster, 500 yuan is gone, I have to send dozens of bills to make up. At that time, I was very sad, and at the same time I felt the helplessness of being dominated by others. Under the haggard strength, I chose to leave. Because I know that if I go on like this, it will be futile for me to try so hard.
Without a job, I lived in a daze for a few months, and the savings of 20,000 to 30,000 in my hands were cut down by various projects on the Internet.
At this time, I happened to see the King of Comedy, and the plot inside touched the string that I wanted to get ahead. I know that if I can become an actor, not to mention big red purple, only a little head out, I am a person with own traffic, also do not worry about making money.
In 2023, with this idea, I boarded the green train and went to Hengdian.
(filming Anti-Japanese War scenes)
When I arrived in Hengdian town, I spent 500 yuan to rent a bed in a hotel in Hengdian town, and then spent 10 yuan to get an actor's license with the help of local enthusiastic group performers, because if I want to be a group performer, the actor's license is indispensable.
Looking at the card with the actor's card in my hand, I seemed to see my bright future. I laughed happily. It was probably the happiest moment of my life.
Hengdian group shooting has a complete set of processes, they have support tasks for beginners, can experience a filming.
My first scene, it was a night scene. I wore armor and stayed up all night listening to the director's orders. When I finished shooting the bill, I clearly remembered that I got 162 yuan for that scene.
I was very happy, thinking that there would be a play as soon as I got here, but later I learned that it was just an experience for the new crowd in Hengdian, and whether I could receive the play in the future is another matter.
Moreover, most newlyweds are arranged for night shows, because night shows have to stay up all night, and valuable group performers and actors are basically unwilling to go.
It was only at that time that I knew that I was complacent, but it was left by others, and I couldn't help feeling a little lonely.
(take pictures of life)
In addition, I thought that if I went to Hengdian, there would be no shortage of filming. As filmed in the documentary, there would be a lot of crew shouting to perform on the set. As long as I take the initiative, there will be scenes and income every day, which is not bad.
But it was only after arriving that I realized that the process of group filming is now very perfect. There is a guild similar to that of a real estate agent, and all group performances are contacted by the guild and the crew.
The guild will divide batch after batch of group performances into different groups, and release the crew that need to be recruited regularly every day. The group performers need to sign up in the group themselves, and those who sign up first can occupy the seats and sign up for the deadline.
What is more worth mentioning is that filming opportunities are limited. To put it simply, if you sign up today or if you successfully sign up for a few days and participate in the show, you may not be allowed to act even if you sign up in the group later.
The explanation given by the association is that in order to distribute opportunities evenly, it is impossible to tilt all good resources to one person.
(Preparing for filming)
It is precisely because of the guild level that the original salary of the crew is different from the salary we get. For example, if the crew gives us a salary of 200 yuan, we only get more than 100 yuan. Knowing that there is a price difference, but these things are established, obedience is the only rule for group performers to survive in Hengdian.
Of course, in addition to the guild docking crew, there are still some cases in which small troupes or group performances registered in the guild do not show up on time, so these vacant places may be desperately short of manpower, so the lucky group performances will be able to continue filming. This is called "picking up pigeons" in our industry.
The life of group performance is not as glamorous as outsiders think. Most of the time, they are hungry without the next meal, and they have been in Hengdian for a long time. In my opinion, those brilliant stars who are seen by outsiders are actually ordinary people.
Because everyone's work is intensive, and most of the time they are busy and do not pay attention to the image, the stars sometimes look straight up and look very common.
(filming routine)
In this experience of group acting, I did meet many stars, such as Wei Daxun, Song Yi, Ju Yun and so on. I used to think that they were out of reach and that they were stars in the sky. After a group performance, I found that they were just ordinary workers, but their work was special.
However, these celebrities were always beautiful wherever they went. They never had to worry about not having enough food. The crew would arrange food for them. Our group performance is different, a box lunch, no more.
What makes me feel even more uncomfortable is that once after dinner, I didn't have a paper towel to wipe my mouth. I happened to see a piece of paper on the back of the crew's van box, so I pulled out one, thinking that if others mind, I would buy a bag and give it back to others.
Unexpectedly, just because he drew a piece of paper, he was reviled by the staff and did not treat us as human beings at all. A tissue, he sounded as if I had taken a piece of gold.
What I don't understand is that during the work of the crew, everyone likes to be called a teacher, but in my heart, teacher is a very sacred word.
(go to the filming venue)
Some props, makeup artists, and the set staff who casually threw trash were all called teachers. It was really an insult to the word teacher.
People who are virtuous and virtuous, and those who have ink in their hearts deserve to be respected. But in order to curry favor, bowing to some people who are not compatible with morality, is this the only way to grow up?
In addition to these strange images that make me difficult to identify with and unhappy, there are also things that I can cherish and "remember".
During filming, I was lucky to get a lot of fans because I liked to record filming and upload it to the short video platform every day. What was even more surprising to me was that a girl from the same town wrote to me backstage, expressing her admiration and love for me as an actor.
They are both from Tianya, and they meet and go on a blind date. Because of my countrymen, I quickly became acquainted with her and established a romantic relationship. she wanted me to make more films and looked forward to making something famous one day. I want to try my best to prop up my future with her.
(my hometown)
I know her life is very difficult, although my life is strapped enough, but out of the sense of responsibility to take care of loved ones, I will send her a remittance of one or two thousand a month, almost ten thousand before and after.
What puzzles me is that I really love her and help her, but she always thinks I am stingy and often quarrels because I don't transfer money to her, but I have given her everything I have.
So I stayed in Hengdian for almost 5 months, and because I really wanted to meet her, I decided to put aside my group performance and go to meet her. I think maybe to a better future together, common progress will be a better way of life.
In the second half of 2023, I was on my way to find her. She first said that she was in Shenzhen, and after I arrived in Shenzhen, she said that she had gone home. I hurried back to the town and sent her the message of my return. After waiting for a long time without her reply, I already knew in my heart that the relationship had been painted after all.
This relationship is bound because of the halo brought to me by the group performance, and also because the cruelty of the group acting life limits the possibility that this relationship can continue to develop.
Cheng Xiao he defeat Xiao he, I know that the reasons for all this can not avoid the stereotyped end: lack of money.
(return to hometown)
When I returned to the countryside, although I said goodbye to the group acting life that I loved, the tens of thousands of fans brought to me by the group acting days gave me the courage to do things independently.
When I return to my hometown this time, I intend to gradually transform my self-media account to the direction of agriculture, rural areas and farmers, and devote myself to helping this village that gave birth to me and raised me to give new brilliance in the days to come.
For me, although drifting for decades has not been very successful, I have gained a lot of ideas of dealing with others and the experience of self-media account operation which is closely linked to this era.
Now is the time for the wanderers to return home and give back to the people they raised. At least for now, it is enough for me to be satisfied with the fact that the children are still close to each other.
I hope that friends who read this article will be able to bravely choose what they think they do and think less and do more.
Only really try to know whether they are appropriate in the end, no matter what the result, follow their own mind, do anything, at least in the end will not regret, people live a lifetime, but ask for peace of mind!
