Perfect Superstar

With heavy steps, Ma Rongzhen slowly walked out of the main gate of Lion Rock Film and Television City, preparing to take a minibus back to his home in Tianshuiwei.

Lion Mountain Film and Television City is the film and television shooting base of Xiangjiang, with an area of ​​more than 5,000 mu. Although the scale cannot be compared with the three major film and television bases in China, it is already considered a large project and a large venue in the small Xiangjiang.

This film and television shooting base was built during the prosperous period of Xiangjiang Film and Television. After several expansions, it has formed the current pattern. It has many large-scale ancient and modern scenic spots.

Many of Xiangjiang's film and television works were filmed in this film and television city under the Lion Rock, and the landscaping catered to the characteristics of Xiangjiang movies, and it occupies an important position in the local film and television industry.

Ma Rong really can't remember how many times he has been in and out of Lion Rock Film and Television City.

He was a student of ATV's 7th artist training class in the late 1980s. After graduation, he signed a contract with ATV to start his old-fashioned career. After his term expired, he entered the film industry.

At that time, Xiangjiang ghost movies were popular, and Ma Rong really had a good image. He was caught by the director's eyes and played Maoshan Taoist priest in a zombie movie, and he became popular in one fell swoop.

However, ghost films flourished and declined, and were basically abandoned by the audience at the beginning of the new century. As a special actor, Ma Rongzhen had to face the embarrassment of transformation, and his career plummeted.

The investment business failed, and his wife and children left him. Originally, Ma Rong really lived in Kowloon, so he had to sell his house to pay off his debts. He moved to Tin Shui Wai for ten years.

The wealthy areas in Xiangjiang are mainly concentrated in Repulse Bay, Sai Kung, Shek O, Mid-Levels, etc. Kowloon is regarded as the middle class settlement, and the poor areas are Tin Shui Wai and Uk Tun.

The huge gap in life and the heavy pressure of reality have bent Ma Rongzhen's back, making him look at least sixty years old when he just turned fifty, with gray hair and vicissitudes of life.

The glorious "Brother Ma" and "Uncle Ma" back then are just "old horses" now.

There are a lot of people from Tin Shui Wai who come to Lion Rock Film and Television City to be extras, so there is a minibus stop nearby for transportation between the two places. As the evening approaches, a minibus is already full of people.

Seeing this, Ma Rongzhen hurriedly rushed into the car, if he missed this train, the next one would be very late.

There was no room in the car for a long time, the aisles were full of people, and no one gave up a seat to Ma Rongzhen, a sweaty "old man". Everyone played with their mobile phones indifferently, or simply closed their eyes to rest their minds.

Ma Rongzhen is used to this, he is no longer the glorious "Ma Daoist" in the past, and few people here really think highly of him.

In Xiangjiang, there are actually many old actors like Ma Rongzhen.

"Uncle Ma..."

Just as Ma Rongzhen was about to stand all the way home, a young man in the front row stood up and greeted him: "I give you my seat, you come and sit."

Everyone looked at him with staring eyes.

Ma Rongzhen also looked at him, recognized that the other party was a group performer he knew, and immediately smiled and said: "Xiao Wu, what a coincidence, you can sit by yourself, your uncle Ma is not so old, and standing is comfortable."

This Xiao Wu was whom he met half a year ago, and he claimed to have seen many of his movies and was his fan.

Xiao Wu is a young man from the countryside, with the enthusiasm and simplicity of a country youth. Everyone calls Ma Rongzhen an "old horse", but he always uses the honorific title of "Uncle Ma" and has helped Ma Rongzhen a lot. .

Seeing each other, Ma Rong really felt a warm current in his heart.

jingle bell~

At this moment, the phone that Ma Rongzhen put in his pocket suddenly rang.

He waved his hand at Xiao Wu, and quickly took out the phone.

Is it the ex-wife who came to claim the living expenses again?

Ma Rongzhen thought to himself, put the old mobile phone on his ear, and asked in a low voice, "Hello?"

"Is it Ma Rong, Brother Ma?"

The voice from the microphone was strange.

Xiao Wu called him "Uncle Ma" just now, and now someone calls him "Brother Ma", Ma Rong really felt unspeakable.

He quickly replied: "It's me, may I ask who you are?"

The other party smiled and said, "I'm Chen Wenqiang. You may not remember me. We had dinner together in Kowloon Tong three years ago. Brother Biao and Huzi were there at that time."

"Oh, hello, hello."

Ma Rong really remembered the dinner, but he really didn't remember who the other party was, it just sounded familiar.

Fortunately, the other party didn't mean to reminisce about the past, and asked bluntly: "Brother Ma, are you free recently?"

have time?

Of course it's available! Ma Rongzhen is not only free recently, he is simply too free.

He is now hanging out in Lion Mountain Film and Television City, and he is not much different from ordinary group performers, he is nothing more than playing tricks.

One day's work, one day's wages, one day's wages to fill one's stomach.

"I'm free, what can I do?"

"It's like this..."

Chen Wenqiang said: "We are preparing to shoot a new film here, and there is an important role in it that is very suitable for you, so I recommended you to the boss, can you come and try it out?"

New play? new movie! important role!

Ma Rongzhen was really excited, and said impatiently: "Audition? No problem, I'll come now!"

When he was talking to Chen Wenqiang, many people sitting in the minibus listened with pricked ears. When Ma Rongzhen called out the word "audition", everyone felt incredible.

Someone asked Ma Rongzhen for an audition?

Auditions are not something you talk about casually, nor are cats and dogs eligible to participate in auditions, at least for roles in movies or TV dramas with some weight, actors are required to audition.

Ma Rongzhen, this ten thousand-year-old salted fish, is about to stand up?

Most of the people in the minibus were Ma Rongzhen and they knew about his past, so they were surprised.

Which film and television company would audition this old guy now?

Chen Wenqiang didn't expect either, he didn't expect Ma Rongzhen to be so impatient.

I had no choice but to turn my head and ask Lu Chen a few words, and then said to Ma Rongzhen: "Well then, you come to Shun Kee Restaurant in Kowloon Tong, we will wait for you there, and call me when you arrive."

"Okay, okay!"

Ma Rongzhen straightened his back, and his whole body became full of energy, as if he had become ten years younger in an instant, and his voice became louder: "I'll be right over!"

After the call was over, Ma Rongzhen glanced away, only to see that the people in the car looked at him with complicated eyes.

Disdainful, suspicious, curious, envious...

He suddenly had the urge to laugh.

Then Ma Rongzhen saw Xiao Wu who gave up his seat to him just now, and Xiao Wu was obviously happy for him with a smile on his face.

With a surge of enthusiasm, Ma Rongzhen reached out and grabbed Xiao Wu's arm, and said, "Come with me, I'll take you to meet the boss who made the movie, maybe you can get a character back!"

Xiao Wu was dragged out of the car by him with a confused face.

A soft cursing sound came from the car: "Bah, I don't know if I can get through it yet, what are you proud of!"

Ma Rongzhen didn't hear it at all.

At this moment, his mind is full of one thought: I'm going to make a movie!
