Whether it was the red carpet or the awards session, the scene was brilliant, and the most impressive of them were definitely these two details. Hu Ge's opening host assisted the young director, saying: "I'm cheap and easy to use." Last night, Hu Ge can be said to shine. As the opening host, his ability to control the audience and the charming language style ignited the audience. Many netizens said that he has such eloquence and it is a pity not to be a host. . However, the actor is still Hu Ge's heart. In order to take his career as an actor to another level, facing the many outstanding young directors off the stage, Hu Ge asked for a job on the spot. He laughed and said that Chinese movies are really good for you, and you are Chinese movies. In the future, young film directors, you must remember that there is a cheap and easy-to-use actor Hu Ge. I am willing to do this vain job.
Hai Qing, Yao Chen, Liang Jing, and Song Jia "seeking a job" on the spot, claiming to be "cheaper than Hu Ge, and also easy to use". In addition to Hu Ge, in the face of such a large group of directors, many actors also seized the opportunity to seek jobs. When Haiqing called for young directors, he even cueed Hu Ge, who was asking for a job. She said excitedly: "We will definitely be better than Hu. The song is cheap and easy to use. I hope everyone will give me more opportunities!” At the closing ceremony of
, Haiqing was very excited. After the awards, she stopped Zhou Dongyu and temporarily put Yao Chen, Liang Jing, Song Jia called to the stage, and even remotely called Ma Yili, who had just announced his divorce. It was just to clarify the career dilemma of middle-aged actresses, to seek acting opportunities for middle-aged actresses, and the enthusiasm for the job was very moving.
, who has been on the stage temporarily but deeply infected, also asked for a job. She said: "I really don't want to be a producer or production. I just want to be a quiet actress. Please give the directors a chance! Thank you!" As the director Guan Hu’s wife, she herself has the advantage of getting the first month from the water, but she still can’t get away from the middle-aged dilemma. Liang Jing also spoke for herself on the spot: “After I became a producer, it was actually very torn apart. Yes, the whole person is getting nervous, I am trying to save the country by curve.

That night, a few women The actor's speech also quickly gained widespread attention on the Internet. Rene Liu also reposted and liked, supporting Haiqing Yao Chen's call. Many netizens also called for the industry to give actresses more opportunities to perform more, better and more classic works. Let Hu Ge claim to be "cheap and easy to use", even willing to "work for nothing," let Haiqing Yao Chen, Song Jia, Liang Jing and other outstanding actresses come on stage to "seeking work". Why is this half-way monk's folk film festival so dragging? In fact, every film festival recognized in the industry is not so much an awards ceremony as it is a "blind date", in which the director and the capital see each other as well as the actors and the director. But it is really rare for actors to seek employment on such a large scale as the FIRST Youth Film Festival. This side reflects the power of FIRST Youth Film Festival. The
FIRST Youth Film Festival was founded in 2006. In terms of qualifications and scale, it is far from the established film festivals. In the beginning, FIRST Film Festival was just a platform for new directors and debut works. However, a group of cutting-edge directors such as Hao Jie and Xin Yukun emerged from FIRST to enter the film industry, which also made industry capital notice this small folk film festival. In particular, "Happy Fun", "Heart Labyrinth", "Old Beast", "Breaking Silent" and many other well-known films have emerged in large numbers, and the capital market swarmed. More than 300 investors attended this year's film festival, waiting to discover outstanding young directors and outstanding works.
At present, the FIRST Youth Film Festival has become a highland of awards and a peak of creation for Chinese films. These new-born directors who are not afraid of tigers, bring their somewhat crude but wild works.Coming to FIRST, most of these works are deep and amazing. However, in these works, famous actors are rarely used, and they are generally new actors. There are reasons for the need of roles in these works, but more because of economic considerations. But these works are undoubtedly excellent. It is not only the focus on awards, but also the tempering of acting skills. That's why there are so many actors seeking jobs on the spot, saying that the director is cheap and easy to use, and even willing to do nothing.
Actually, what these actors lack is not necessarily the opportunity to perform. After all, various dog-blood dramas and thunder dramas look for them a lot, and it is easy to live with more money. However, out of their awe and love for the profession of actors, they are more willing to try to improve themselves, sharpen their acting skills, and fight for the chance to become famous. And FIRST youth films are undoubtedly the most likely to provide them with this opportunity, so they are striving for work and attention.
Regardless of whether they can successfully apply for a job, their own attitude is enough to move people. I hope that Chinese films will live up to their efforts!
