Chapter 898 Opportunity

As the crew's vehicle left farther and farther away, Zhang Shengwen finally couldn't run anymore. He gasped for breath, looked desperate, and didn't care about the sand blowing into his mouth. He quickly took out his mobile phone from his pocket to contact the crew.

After calling the director and the assistant director but no one answered, he finally confirmed that he was thrown into the desert alone not by accident but intentionally.

Zhang Shengwen sat in the sea of ​​sand, frowning, not knowing what happened for a moment, thinking that he had not offended the director.

Looking back at the garbage bag that he accidentally threw in the middle of the road because he was chasing the vehicle in the distance, the lunch box inside was once again blown to the ground by the wind.

Zhang Shengwen seemed to understand the reason at this moment, and shook his head with a wry smile. He didn't expect that such a thing would happen one day.

He opened the phone's address book and found the agent's phone number.

...

...

Late at night.

"Fortunately, there is a signal in this place." The agent rented a car and shuttled through the sea of ​​sand with a driver who was familiar with the terrain.

The driver worriedly said, "It's very cold here at night, and there are even wild wolves. I hope he doesn't have any accidents."

"Brother, can you drive faster?" The agent was even more anxious. Zhang Shengwen was his artist, and he couldn't get away from it if something happened.

This agent has several less famous artists like Zhang Shengwen under his command. After receiving the call today, he flew directly here.

"Here we are."

The agent looked at the location on the map on his mobile phone, which was right in front of him. He quickly got out of the car with a flashlight and shouted loudly: "Zhang Shengwen, Zhang Shengwen."

The driver also helped to look for him: "It seems to be over there."

I saw a figure hiding behind a huge rock, shivering.

Two people ran over quickly.

"Shengwen, are you okay?"

Zhang Shengwen stood up tremblingly with the help of two people. Compared with the daytime, the temperature at night dropped by at least ten degrees.

A thin piece of clothing can't withstand such a large temperature difference.

"No, it's okay." Temperature is a small matter for Zhang Shengwen, but hearing the wolf howl from time to time puts him under great psychological pressure.

The agent frowned and cursed: "This crew is too inhuman. Fortunately, no accident happened. If something really happened, none of them would have a good life."

On the way, the agent called the director of the crew as soon as possible, but the director just said "carelessness" and hung up the phone without even mentioning to go back to answer.

The angry agent reported the matter directly to the company's senior management, who said they would deal with it.

But with Zhang Shengwen's fame, will the company make a big move? The agent knows better than anyone.

Zhang Shengwen sat quietly in the back seat with the help of the driver and the agent, without saying a word.

Of course, he knew that he was not valued by the company. He had been in the film and television industry for more than 20 years, and his performance was mediocre. Without outstanding looks, he was destined not to receive good resources and not be trained by the company.

Without works and fame, how could the company support him behind the scenes?

Zhang Shengwen also thought about leaving, but what should his family do after leaving?

At least he can occasionally take on some film and television productions in this company, which is enough to support his family.

If he asked to leave, how could an entertainment company sign a person of such age?

...

The next day.

In the afternoon.

Zhang Shengwen returned to the company, and his part in the play had ended.

The company did not have his own office, and he usually stayed in the agent's office.

Although there was a little pressure financially, Zhang Shengwen was cheerful and would joke with everyone in the company to liven up the atmosphere.

The agent was called out as soon as he stepped into the company's door.

There were no popular artists under his command, but there were quite a few, and the work was still very busy.

Zhang Shengwen sat in the office alone in a daze. After experiencing this incident, he suffered a great blow and needed some time to heal himself.

He had been engaged in the acting career for more than 20 years and had always been in a tepid state. He had long been accustomed to such scenes.

The crew's behavior was excessive, and Zhang Shengwen was also very angry, but what could he do?

Who made me not famous?

Zhang Shengwen was depressed for a while and was a little confused about his future.

Since he chose to be an actor, he wanted to be famous, thinking that he could leave a classic work of his own in the film and television industry and be discussed by future generations.

As time goes by, the lofty ideals and ambitions in his heart have long been erased, and there is no passion in the past.

But he was unwilling to give up like this.

Zhang Shengwen is a very individual person. For so many years, no matter he was denied or treated unfairly on the set, he still insisted on being himself.

As he said in an interview:

"I am willing to accept everything that happens to me, and there must be a reason for it. I just accept it, otherwise I will live a painful life."

No matter how difficult this road is, Zhang Shengwen will always stick to it, and now he is waiting for an opportunity.

The mobile phone on the side kept receiving new messages.

Zhang Shengwen opened his mobile phone and saw an actor group chatting.

The actors in this group are hardly famous in the entertainment industry. When an entertainment company announces an actor audition, they will notify each other in the group.

"Everyone, the latest news is that Brilliant Entertainment is releasing auditions for actors. Are there any people going together?"

"? Brilliant Entertainment? Is it Tan Yue's movie?"

"Who knows? They only mentioned auditions, and there is no other news."

"Brother, don't think too much. If it was Tan Yue's movie, how could it be our turn? It would have been snatched away by big names long ago."

"Such a large-scale audition, it must be a TV series."

"Then it must not be Tan Yue, he is always making movies now."

"It doesn't matter whose work it is, as long as it is released by Brilliant Entertainment, what if it becomes popular!"

"You're right, add me."

Zhang Shengwen looked at the lively group chat and felt a little moved.

After all, Brilliant Entertainment is very famous in the circle and has a strong appeal to artists. In recent years, which artist has been promoted by Brilliant Entertainment is not very popular?

If there is any entertainment company that can cause a sensation in the circle by announcing audition news, it must be Brilliant Entertainment.

If it is a film or TV work by Tan Yue, it is not too much for half of the actors in the entertainment industry to come for an audition, and some stars even say that they can volunteer to participate.

Zhang Shengwen wondered whether to go and try. Although it was not clear which director's play it was, the name of the Brilliant Entertainment Company was enough.

It was also an opportunity for him.

Zhang Shengwen opened the official website of the Brilliant Entertainment Company and saw a message about recruiting actors due to the plot.

After clicking in, he saw that he needed to submit his information and the works he had participated in during his career.

Zhang Shengwen hesitated for a while, he had no confidence in himself, and there were no dazzling achievements in his resume.

As said in the group chat, after the Brilliant Entertainment Company released this message, actors in the circle would flock to it, and the opponents he faced might be many big names.

Except for a longer career, there is no competitiveness in other aspects.

In Zhang Shengwen's mind, it is difficult for the Brilliant Entertainment Company to choose an unknown actor like him.

Now when selecting actors for film and television works, old actors are gradually being favored by many entertainment companies, and they are moving in a good direction, and traffic is no longer king.

But only after being recognized by everyone, the actors who are called veteran actors by netizens will have more opportunities.

The essence is still traffic.

Otherwise, what can attract the audience? If there is no known actor in a TV series or movie, the audience will not watch it.

The chance this time is very slim.

Zhang Shengwen sat in the office alone for a long time and thought that it was necessary to try.

What if I can be selected?

What if I pass the audition and get the opportunity to participate?

There are so many small roles in the play, maybe there is really one suitable for me.

Even if I am not selected in the end, I will not lose anything, and I can also find my shortcomings from it.

After sitting in the office for a long time, Zhang Shengwen felt a little thirsty, so he got up and picked up his cup and went to the tea room outside to get water.

As soon as he walked into the tea room, he heard several people discussing this matter.

"Have you all seen the news that Brilliant Entertainment is looking for actors to audition in the entire entertainment industry?"

"Of course, it's all spread in the group."

"Do you have any ideas?"

"I don't need to ask, of course I have ideas."

"I think few people can resist the temptation of Brilliant Entertainment. If you are signed by Brilliant Entertainment while acting, you will be able to rise to the top in one step!"

One person looked thoughtful and said, "The actors who audition this time need to fill out their past resumes, and they will be published on the official website. It should be a TV series."

"What a pity."

They all know that Tan Yue's focus is on movies and he hasn't filmed a TV series for a long time.

"Maybe it's Tan Yue's screenwriter."

"Nirvana in Fire" was written by Tan Yue and became a hit after it was broadcast.

"I have already submitted my resume. Who cares whose TV series it is? We know the situation of our company."

This entertainment company is very small and has few resources. It is also close to actors with higher reputations, and there are very few resources for them.

Without fame, actors often rely on themselves to fight for it.

"I don't know what you actors are thinking. If there is no way out, just change your career and do something else." One of them is an ordinary employee of the company.

"Changing careers is impossible. I will never change my career in this life. If I become popular one day, I will be the most dazzling star in the entertainment industry."

"Wake up, stop dreaming. It's not time to go to bed yet. When you become popular, we will have been a first-class entertainment company in the industry."

Several people laughed.

"I think his idea is very good. An actor should have such a dream."

Several people in the tea room turned their heads and looked behind them, and saw Zhang Shengwen coming in with a cup.

Zhang Shengwen smiled and said, "I am also going to submit a resume."

Out of his professional habit, he likes to chat with everyone.

Zhang Shengwen thinks that a successful actor can not only perform a body shape that matches the character in the play, but also reflect the character's demeanor.

There are all kinds of characters in the play, and the best way is to let the actors experience it personally.

The second way is to observe and understand through chatting.

They were all in the same company, and several of them knew Zhang Shengwen quite well. They often chatted together when they had nothing to do, and their relationship was pretty good.

One person joked: "Brother Zhang, this is an audition for Brilliant Entertainment. Think about it, you can't even get a name in the entertainment industry. Will they want you?!"

Zhang Shengwen continued, saying: "How can a drama be full of big stars? We also need supporting roles to embellish it."

The actor who has the dream of becoming a big star agreed: "This sentence is well said. Without roles like us, who would remember them?"

"That being said, even supporting roles require strength. I don't know how many people are queuing up in front. How can a small actor like you participate in the audition of Brilliant Entertainment?"

This sentence seemed to hit the pain points of the two people, and the scene was unusually quiet for a while.

"Sorry, I said the wrong thing." The person symbolically slapped his mouth: "I don't think about what I say, so don't take it to heart."

One person tried to smooth things over: "This opportunity is rare. Come on, you two who are going to the audition."

"Yes, come on."

"Let's go, it's time to go back to work."

The people in the tea room left one after another, and Zhang Shengwen was a little depressed when he returned to the office.

"I don't know how many people are queuing up in front of me." Zhang Shengwen repeated this sentence: "Yes, there will be so many people."

Tasting the bitter coffee in the cup, he showed a helpless smile on his face, wondering how many people in front of him had anything to do with him.

Since he started working in the acting industry, Zhang Shengwen has long forgotten how many times he has been rejected. What's the harm in one more time?

Afterwards, Zhang Shengwen sent his information to the email address left on the audition message.

Although he had figured it out, when the email was sent out, he felt his heartbeat obviously accelerated.

He had waited too long for this day of success.

Give him hope again and again, and disappointment again and again when facing the results.

And this time, Brilliant Entertainment Company might be the opportunity he has been waiting for, because this company has that legendary figure.

Just when Zhang Shengwen was considering whether he could pass the screening, he saw a reminder of receiving an email on his mobile phone. He was so nervous that his hands were shaking a little, and he opened the email tremblingly.

"Congratulations! Mr. Zhang, you have won the audition opportunity organized by Brilliant Entertainment"

"I passed!" Zhang Shengwen was very happy. The email also included the time and address of the audition.

He did not expect that Brilliant Entertainment would still take a fancy to him under such fierce competition.

No matter what kind of role it is this time, Zhang Shengwen will do his best to prepare. He has made up his mind to seize this opportunity. Even if he is still penniless, he will try his best to do his best!
