Famous stories about the struggle history of male No. 8

Huang Haibo has become one of the top ten paid actors in Mainland China. However, he was "exploited" for five years, with almost zero pay. But he cherished these five years of no profit. He cherished those opportunities that others dismissed, and worked hard to earn only 2,000 yuan but put in 10,000 yuan.

Thanks for the opportunity to be "exploited"

When Huang Haibo graduated from film school, the most popular actors on the screen were Lu Yi and Chen Kun.

"He is so handsome. When I turn on the TV, there are all handsome men and beauties. I compared myself very seriously. I said, I can play a male number eight with this image." Huang Haibo said He knew it, but he was still very depressed.

What’s even more frustrating is that Huang Haibo had to beg for a chance to play the male number eight. Huang Haibo was Huang Lei's favorite student. It was difficult to live without money, so Huang Lei gave him a bunch of performance tickets from the college's drama class and asked him to sell the tickets. He would get a commission of five yuan per ticket.

Huang Haibo obediently received the ticket and stood at the door of the theater. Seeing Xu Qing walking over wearing sunglasses, he pretended not to recognize the big star and said calmly: "Miss, do you like watching dramas? Huang Lei's class is scheduled, I hope you support my teacher!"

"Huang Lei is your teacher?" Facing Xu Qing's disbelieving look, Huang Haibo looked like he suddenly realized: "Ah, it turns out to be Senior Sister Xu! Yes, Huang Lei is the director, and I am his student. My name is My name is Huang Haibo."

Xu Qing immediately bought four tickets. Huang Haibo happily introduced himself again: "Thank you, Senior Sister Xu, my name is Huang Haibo."

At that time, Huang Lei felt strange, just sell tickets, why did Huang Haibo take the trouble to do so every time? What about putting your own name on your lips? Huang Haibo smiled but did not answer.

Huang Haibo’s dogged enthusiasm for selling tickets made him the ticket sales champion. While most of his classmates were huddled in the basement eating instant noodles, Huang Haibo was able to rent a heated apartment and live in a heated apartment with the commission from selling tickets, and he could also buy a few good clothes to package himself.

Although no crew took the initiative to find Huang Haibo, he still ran around to various crews dressed in splendor and carrying photos. When he met Xu Qing, he greeted her sweetly from afar: "Senior Sister Xu, you are getting more and more beautiful. Ah. By the way, the TV series you acted in recently was also very good..." Xu Qing thought for a long time: "I'm sorry, are you...?" Huang Haibo replied with a smile: "I am Huang Haibo, your junior brother. Have you forgotten how many tickets you bought from me?" After a few pleasantries, Xu Qing brought this "Junior Brother Huang" directly to the director, and the role of male number eight was decided.

Relying on the connections he accumulated while selling tickets, Huang Haibo gradually entered the entertainment industry. Many times, the stingy director would even discuss with him directly: "I will give you a few more lines to give you a greater chance of becoming famous, and I will waive the salary." Huang Haibo agreed without hesitation, doing as much as possible for you. Strive for opportunities to show your face.

No matter how small the role is, Huang Haibo will work very hard in it. Once, he fell off a horse during a performance and broke three ribs. Everyone laughed, "I have never seen a supporting actor injured like this." However, the director admires Huang Haibo's style of "earning two thousand but worth ten thousand". Whenever there is a suitable role in the future, he will always be thought of. Within a few years, Huang Haibo, who was not handsome at all, became a favorite among directors, and his salary also soared.

Huang Lei admires Huang Haibo’s curved growth plan. When the two of them were sitting together drinking, Huang Lei couldn't help but praise him. Huang Haibo said with deep emotion: "Although I am stupid, I never complain about my talents being 'exploited'. I have learned to be grateful for the opportunities of being 'exploited', and work tirelessly for my ideals."

Find your money-making partner

Although Huang Haibo is no longer a bit actor with zero pay, it is a pity that no drama can make him famous. Huang Haibo self-examined and found that he had made a huge mistake: it was not that he did not work hard, but that he did not find a suitable partner.

In order to change this situation, Huang Haibo thought about it again and again, and his old classmate Hai Qing was identified as the best candidate for cooperation.

Huang Haibo and Haiqing are classmates, and both are late bloomers. Huang Haibo told Haiqing his idea, and Haiqing said: "It's good. We are old classmates. We know each other well and trust each other. Let's conquer the world together and become famous together." The two formulated a careful plan. : First of all, when cooperating to make a movie, the two people must be the male and female protagonists, and the remuneration is divided into two and each gets half; at the same time, the film must also suit the style of the two people and ensure that they both gain fame and fortune.

Huang Haibo made the right choice in choosing Hai Qing as his partner. The two of them were bundled together and the price of the package was much lower than when the crew selected actors and actresses individually. Soon, the two signed a contract with the crew of "A Beautiful Wife", and the other party met all their ideas and requirements. The small-eyed Huang Haibo broke the embarrassment of many years of silence with this film. At the same time, Huang Haibo and Hai Qing's remuneration doubled.

After some time, both of them were very free and got together to chat about the Spring Festival Gala. Huang Haibo said: "Why don't we create a sketch program for the Spring Festival Gala?" Unexpectedly, his and Hai Qing's sketch went smoothly and successfully appeared on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.

The two succeeded again and collaborated across fields, making more directors look at them with admiration. Although the two are not a couple, many advertisers have taken a fancy to their tacit understanding. With their image as a loving "couple", they have appeared in many commercials. In Huang Haibo's words, the total remuneration from being "exploited" for five years is not worth the current endorsement fee for an advertisement.

Add a little extra and make money for tomorrow

More and more celebrities, as their popularity increases and their financial strength increases, they start to become their own bosses. Huang Haibo didn't want to be "exploited" anymore, so he refused contracts from several major brokerage companies. He also wants to start his own business, but he knows that his current strength and reputation are not enough to support a company, which makes him a little distressed.

Once, Huang Haibo came out of the studio after filming and saw many actors standing outside the studio who were auditioning. Seeing them arguing and recommending themselves to the director and asking for a role in the play, Huang Haibo couldn't help but think of the situation when he was down and out.

Huang Haibo thought: Why don’t he open a performance company, recruit potential artists, and recruit roles for them?

Huang Haibo discovered a large number of "potential stocks" from the graduating class of the film school and the group of artists eagerly waiting for roles outside the crew. Huang Haibo took good care of them. When he went to discuss the film with the director, he did not forget to bring a few "employees" to recommend to the director. Huang Haibo knew very well that the director did not trust these unknown actors, so before starting work, he always had to repeatedly teach them "to earn 2,000 yuan but still have a net worth of 10,000 yuan." Everyone also cherished the opportunity and used their strength and hard work to impress the director. Gradually, Huang Haibo's artist company became famous in the industry. Some directors would often call him: "Bring a few artists over for auditions. There are a few roles here that are lacking..."

Where there is demand, there is a market. Now, as the boss, Huang Haibo has His artists are divided into several categories according to their characteristics. Some focus on comedies, some focus on emotional dramas, and some focus on action films. His company is almost a large and comprehensive artist transfer station. Huang Haibo discovered the blank spots in the performing arts market with his unique vision, and while strengthening his own strength, he also created greater dreams and wealth.
