Entertainment 1998

Chapter 552 Chapter 551, Is there something wrong with Jiang Feng’s style?
Central Academy of Drama, No. 2 Canteen.

The handsome men and beautiful women who did not go out during the National Day holiday and stayed in school came to the second canteen for lunch at 12 noon. Well, it is actually the Jingxiu Restaurant opposite the school.

Most of these students are from the Department of Performance. They come to Jingxiu Restaurant to eat during the holidays. Eating is just one of the purposes, the main purpose is to show themselves.

Because of the long National Day holiday, many film and television crews working in Beijing or nearby Beijing will come to the Central Academy of Drama or Beijing Film Academy to look for people.

Because the students of these two art schools are rising stars, they have received formal training and their pay is not high.

At the Central Academy of Drama, there is no easier place to hang out than the Second Canteen. There is food, drinks and seats, and you can see students from the entire school coming in and out.

You can see it, basically just pick it at random.

This is considered an unspoken rule in the film and television industry. Schools and students are aware of it, so they will be relatively careful and hope to be chosen.

Even if it's not a big crew or a big company, playing a small supporting role is considered as acting experience, not to mention the pay you can get.

At present, the students enrolled in the Central Academy of Drama are from grades 98 to 01. Among them, grade 01 entered in September and has been studying at the school for less than a month.

Therefore, the juniors of Class 01 may not be so good, but the students of Class 98, 99 and 00 who have already become veterans are very experienced. When they come to the second canteen during holidays, the first thing they shout is not "What do I want to eat?"

Instead, he would first look at some people in Jingxiu Restaurant who were obviously not students or teachers. Most of them were assistant directors and scouts. If they had cameras in their hands, there was basically no way they could escape.

Therefore, experienced students will try to get in front of these people. The brave ones will even go up to them and chat with them and leave their phone numbers.

Zhang Tao is a veteran in the circle, claiming to be an agent of a certain company, but in fact he is just a group leader + broker, specializing in introducing people to various crews.

He takes jobs as an extra, as a special guest actor, as an event model, or as a resident singer. He also accepts other miscellaneous projects as long as they can make money and are not illegal.

Moreover, Zhang Tao eats from both ends, the crew eats and the actors get some too. Relying on the fact that the market is not formal and the information on the Internet is not circulated, he lives a happy life.

Today, he took a job from a friend. A costume drama crew needed a special dancer, the kind who would be the lead dancer at banquets, also a minor supporting role, with two or three scenes. She had to be pretty and well-proportioned, and the offer was 700.

At this price, Zhang Tao can make at least 200 to 300 yuan by taking advantage of both ends.

Originally he had some stock on hand, but unfortunately the director was not satisfied after seeing the photos, saying that the actor lacked charisma and that he looked down upon those who were not professionally trained. So he asked Zhang Tao to look for one at the Central Academy of Drama and Beijing Film Academy, and said that if the conditions were good, the price could be raised to 1200.

As long as you pay enough agency fee, I don't mind working like a slave.

Zhang Tao went straight to the Central Academy of Drama with his camera, intending to wait outside the gate.

In fact, for this job, he first went to the Film Academy, but to be honest, the quality of the Film Academy is a bit poor. For example, in the first grade of the class, there is a girl with a good face, named Huang Shengyi, but she is really short. There is a girl who is quite tall, named Wang Luodan, but her skin is really dark.

So Zhang Tao decided to visit the Central Academy of Drama.

But just as he sat down, he noticed that there were three people at the table next to him, pointing and talking at the students who came in one after another. Zhang Tao overheard and it seemed that they were from some film crew.

In line with the concept of constantly expanding the customer base, Zhang Tao handed over a business card and introduced himself with a smile:
"Dear directors, my name is Zhang Tao. I am familiar with the Central Academy of Drama. If you need anything, you can come to me."

There was a boy sitting next to the table with his index finger raised. He took the business card, looked at it, then looked up at Zhang Tao and nodded, but had no intention of chatting further.

Zhang Tao left tactfully, but he kept listening to the conversation quietly.

"Lao Zhuang, which one do you think Brother Feng will like?"

"I don't know!" "Dawei, what about you?"

"Don't ask me. I'm really upset now. That girl named Wan calls me every day to harass me, but I can't change my phone number."

"Come on, come on, let me tell you, the girl walking in the front is pretty good. Although her skin is a little dark, she has a good figure and walks very powerfully.

Walking with strength means having strong legs. If you wrap your arms around a man’s waist…”

Zhang Tao couldn't hear clearly what several people were whispering nearby. It seemed like someone was talking about something like "brother, what kind of girls do you like?"
Bah, I can tell from the sound that he is not a good person!
Zhang Tao felt jealous. Actually, in his industry, he could occasionally fool a few girls who wanted to be stars, but those girls were not stupid. After a long time, they saw through his bottom line and just left.

Moreover, it can only fool ordinary girls who don't know much about it. Students in art schools like the Central Academy of Drama and Beijing Film Academy already understand some of the ins and outs before they enter.

With Zhang Tao's identity and the resources he has, he can only give her a little money at best. If he wants to have sex with her, he can only dream about it at night.

Just as he was thinking, Zhang Tao suddenly saw two girls coming in. They were dressed in ordinary clothes, with no makeup on, and were obviously students who came to eat.

However, the makeup is ordinary, but the appearance is very good, especially the one on the left has fair skin and beautiful face, looking pure and moving. Zhang Tao has been in various art schools for many years, and just by watching the girl walk, he can tell that she has a foundation in dancing.

The pretty girl can dance!
Zhang Tao didn't hesitate and rushed over directly: "Are you interested in doing a part-time job as a special dancer? 500 yuan for two performances."

The other students in Jingxiu Restaurant were very excited when they saw someone intercepting someone, but when they heard that it was a special actor paid 500 yuan, they lost interest.

The girl who was stopped by Zhang Tao was a little tempted. She was a freshman, and a part-time job of several hundred yuan was still tempting to her. She hesitated for a moment.

"I have a play rehearsal at school right now, and I only have time on weekends."

Another girl next to her also helped to speak up: "Also, 500 yuan is too little. The general special appointment costs thousands of yuan."

"Don't worry, let's talk slowly."

As soon as Zhang Tao saw that the girl was attracted, he knew it was a deal. All that was left was to negotiate the price, and he could also chat with the beautiful girl.

What Zhang Tao didn't know was that while they were talking, the three guys he had just chatted up also took a fancy to this girl.

"Dawei, is this okay? It looks quite innocent."

"The eyes are pretty too."

"She has nice skin and a nice height."

"She has the right image and is a professional. She's the best person I've met today. Let's talk to her first and arrange an audition."

Zhang Tao was about to use his eloquence in front of the beauty when he was patted on the shoulder. Turning around, he saw it was the three people just now. The leader smiled apologetically.

"Sorry, bro."

After saying that, Dawei looked at the girl and said, "You look a bit like Zhang Manyu. How old are you this year? Where are you from? Which level of the Central Academy of Drama are you studying at?"

But before Dawei could finish his words, Zhang Tao became anxious.

"Classmate, be careful. I'm not exposing their secrets, but I just heard them say that their brother has an immoral lifestyle. Maybe he is some makeshift gang that specifically defrauds pretty girls like you."
