Chapter 10, a special chapter for the evening news—"The People Behind the Television Sets"
The pay is not high.
Li Xingda was still somewhat dazed at this moment.
Frankly speaking, given the salary offered there, 5000 yuan a month is tragically low for a supporting role.
But at least he's a supporting character.
Even supporting roles are still important!
There are absolute differences between extras and bit parts.
A background character is someone who serves as the backdrop for a story.
And supporting characters are an integral part of the story!
It involves participating in how this world works!
"You did it, Xiaoyun! You really did soar to new heights!"
At this moment, Li Xingda even shed tears.
"Uncle, is it really necessary to be so dramatic? Tears are streaming down your face."
At this moment, Li Yun looked at his uncle with a wry smile, but his mentality remained relatively stable: "Just a supporting character."
I have some feelings about this.
But the way my uncle cried was too exaggerated.
But I also felt a warmth that came from the bottom of my heart.
It was a genuine feeling of joy because of oneself.
The joy one feels from one's own achievements.
At this moment, Li Xingda patted Li Yun on the head.
"You kid, don't be too ambitious. Don't get arrogant just because you've achieved a little success."
"A supporting role? I wonder how many people in our extras circle envy you for such a meteoric rise. To be able to play a supporting role is to truly step onto the big screen!"
Even if it's just a minor villainous supporting character.
"Wait a minute, Uncle, there's something I need to correct you on. Zhen Zhibing isn't a third-tier villain. Although he's a supporting character, he's not a villain."
"You kid, he even had Xiaolongnu with him, and he's still not a villain. You're still young, you don't know that Jin Yong almost got killed because of this back then."
Li Yun felt somewhat helpless; of course he knew about these things.
Not only did Jin Yong almost get killed for this, but in a sense, the Dragon Knight episode influenced a generation of creators. The subsequent hook literature, derivative fanfiction, and so on had a profound impact on teenagers, and their sins are simply too numerous to count.
It's a sin, really, but Li Yun read fanfiction about Yang Guo, Xiaolongnu, and Yin Zhiping's daughter back then, and just thinking about it is really inappropriate.
It's well-written and very easy to use.
Ok.
But how can Zhen Zhibing in "The Return of the Condor Heroes" and Zhen Zhibing in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" be considered the same person?
...
Tonight, my uncle treated us to dinner at Little Sheep Hot Pot, which Li Yun had been craving. It cost 58 yuan for two people and included a dozen bottles of beer, which is considered a luxury in this day and age.
The pungent smell of mutton mixed with the aroma of fatty fat, mingled with coarse salt and beer, felt incredibly satisfying as it went down my throat. The owner, a man of taste, had Teresa Teng's "When Will You Return?" playing on the stereo, while the brick-like Changhong television broadcast news of the successful Olympic bid...
Steaming hot air rose from the copper hot pot.
At this moment, Li Yun looked around and out the window. For Hengdian, landing a supporting role was insignificant; after all, it was just a supporting role.
The major achievements in one's life.
In the circle, it's not even a tiny ripple, not even a speck of sand.
But for my uncle, it was a joyful occasion that made him want to drink until he was completely drunk.
In this vast world, we are like a grain of sand in the ocean; this supporting character is just a grain of sand in the ocean.
But for us little ones, this is a great happiness.
At this moment, Li Yun raised the Dalian soda in his hand.
"Cheers, Uncle!"
Cheers!
They drank until 11 p.m., and Li Xingda glanced at the time.
"It's time. Take me back. If the biker gang comes out, my big silver chain around my neck will be in trouble."
"It's okay, I know kung fu. If a motorcycle gang comes, I'll kick them. I'm pretty good at kung fu now."
"Didn't you drink Dalian soda? How come you're drunk? Wait a minute, he'll come down with a watermelon knife. You think you can do kung fu? You're all skinny and weak..." Li Xingda was both amused and exasperated, though he wasn't too drunk.
Beer is quite difficult to get drunk on.
Since his divorce, my uncle has started wearing jewelry.
Although this silver chain is less impressive than a gold chain.
I remembered what my aunt said to my uncle before she got divorced.
Old good-for-nothing.
Taking care of the little good-for-nothing,
At this moment, Li Yun carried him onto the Haojue motorcycle he had bought.
"Uncle, we won't be useless forever."
Carrying her uncle on her back, she drove the motorcycle along a deserted path, humming softly a two-line lyric.
I want a life in full bloom...
……
On the second day.
Li Yun also prepared to pack up and head to the next location. It would still be some time before filming "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". During this time, he certainly couldn't just sit idly by, but instead went to Hunan TV's evening news.
Good morning.
When I went to have breakfast this morning, the TV in the noodle shop was playing a replay of last night's "Evening News".
When it comes to Hunan TV, Li Yun immediately thinks of Happy Camp, He Jiong, and Du Jiong kneeling before the Koreans. Her impression of Hunan TV is basically entertainment to the death... various variety shows, which can be considered the 1.0 version of the short video era.
They chose the strategy with the highest viewership, but this "Evening News" seems a bit conventional. However, according to my uncle, the viewership of this evening news is quite impressive, comparable to "Today's Frontline" in the south, which is quite popular.
However, it is indeed different from other news channels of this era. Other news channels have two hosts, dressed in suits and ties, who read the news, which is basically the CCTV model.
This evening news is indeed more interesting, and it already has a bit of the feel of Hunan TV in later years. However, it hasn't completely leaned towards entertainment yet, and it still has a bit of a news feel to it.
Li Yun sighed. Back in the millennium, Hunan TV was still as clean and bright as ever, unaffected by the chaotic entertainment and ratings-obsessed culture of later generations. Although the choice was understandable for the TV station, Li Yun simply preferred the Hunan TV of today.
At this moment, a chubby, bespectacled reporter said with a smile.
"Hello everyone, I'm Yi Feng, a reporter from Hunan TV. Tomorrow, we'll be going to Hengdian to see what the actors we see on TV are like behind the scenes, to see the real lives of those actors backstage, and to see the employment, livelihood, and happiness of the people in Hengdian..."
Evening News Special - "The People Behind the Television".
Looking at the reporter above, Li Yun seemed lost in thought...
Is there any way to extract some positive energy from them?
