——“Being poor for the things I like, live happily and shiningly”
——“Exquisite and poor is the fear of roughness”
——“True exquisiteness is the abdomen with poems and books, breath out fragrance”
tonight, Double Eleven is about to kick off, and GQ wrote: "After tonight, I am very poor."
Yes, you have become more refined, and you will continue to be poor. Recently, a popular word "exquisite and poor" has appeared, which has been hotly discussed by everyone.
Indeed, compared with the generation of parents, the consumption patterns of young people today seem to be very different. With the popularization of consumption tools such as credit cards and Huabei, the future-style early consumption of overdraft has long become a common phenomenon in society. It's not uncommon for people to spend one month's salary to buy an Apple computer and two months' salary to buy a luxury bag.
has fallen into the glamorous film and television circle, and young people have almost taken their exquisiteness to the extreme. Of course, their exquisiteness is often "held down." In this regard, we made a movie together (ID: yiqipaidianying) and chatted with a few friends in the industry to restore the "exquisite poverty" phenomenon in the film and television industry for everyone.
Actor Monica: Exquisiteness is still necessary. What if I suddenly become popular one day?
Monica is a movie actor. Of course, in private, she will also take some short-term and high-income online movies and online dramas to shoot, and sometimes even shoot commercials, but at least she writes that on her resume. . Although
is still an 18-line star, Monica's "exquisiteness" is no worse than that of the big star. All clothes must be luxury high-street; skin care products and cosmetics must be top-of-the-line. Although actresses walk in the workplace relying on acting skills, face maintenance is of course the most important; all major brands of clothing have a new season, classic and tasteful You have to buy a few luxury bags, and of course you have to buy a few evening dresses, so they have to be named “actors”.
as an actor, wanting to live the glamorous appearance in everyone's eyes, of course, there is a price to pay. According to Monica's current work situation, the money earned from filming is not enough to repay Huabai, and Huabai's quota has soared to tens of thousands. Of course Monica is not without anxiety. It is difficult for a new actor to have a bright future, even if it is a variety show that is popular recently to train new actors, it must have a flow basis to be eligible for selection. And exquisiteness, in her opinion, is a necessary investment in herself.
"Well, actor, is it not necessary to be exquisite? What if I suddenly become popular someday?"
director Gao Ming: life can be rough, but creation is not good
young director Gao Ming, although he is now unknown and has no stable job , And no big company is willing to sign him. Life is a bit difficult, but he has never doubted his ideal of being a director.
In order to realize his dream, he worked hard in his hometown for many years, only to save money to come to Beijing to make movies. He feels that there is hope in Beijing. Although he can't find investment, can't afford actors, and can't afford a team, he never hesitates to buy equipment.
SLR, radio microphone, tripod, slide rail, monitor... Anyone who makes movies, he has everything. And many of them are top matching. Of course, in order to complete these, a single piece of equipment that costs thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars, Gao Ming almost spent all his savings.
now lives in a partition of less than 5 square meters. Every day, he either stays in the house and writes scripts, or he goes out with the crew to help shoot documentaries, do some odd jobs, he has long experience and some money. "Nowadays, many famous directors also used SLR to make movies at the beginning? There is no money and no money solution, but if you have money, you must configure the best equipment. Life can be rough, but creation is not good."
producer Wang Yang: Exquisiteness is not face, but the identity
Producer Wang Yang has been in the film industry for many years. Although he is not a top producer, he has participated in a few good films. Slowly, he also started his own business. He started his own film and television company. When
was young, in order to get into the circle, Wang Yang often ate and drank with the big boss. There is no way. In discussing projects, I often rely on my drinking capacity and my relationship with my boss. Later, Wang Yang discovered that drinking alone was not enough, and his configuration was high. Therefore, he not only changed his office address to a more prosperous commercial area, but also changed himself to a good car. For this reason, his wife had a big quarrel with him-Ben Lai GongThe company's expenditure is quite a lot, and it has directly increased two or three times.
Of course, Wang Yang didn't know the difficulty of this tossing. Not only the company, the home mortgage, the parents’ pension, the children’s schooling...up and down all need money. Although he often talks about tens of millions of cooperation with others, the pressure of naked life often reminds him.
But the facade of a company and a good car are not a status symbol? He couldn't forget the scene where he used to squeeze the subway to talk to people about cooperation and was looked down upon. Although these are all vain things, I have to admit that the exquisite appearance does make people desire cooperation. "Exquisiteness is not face, but identity," Wang Yang said with emotion.
screenwriter Liu Zhe: Living in China World Trade Center and writing scripts, urban white-collar workers and low-level ants seamlessly switch
Beijing houses are often beyond the reach of young people, only renting shares but not buying shares. As far as screenwriter Liu Zhe is concerned, although he can't afford it, he still has pursuits in "living", such as not living in non-prosperous business districts. Liu Zhe now lives near China World Trade Center.
Of course, renting a house in China World Trade Center is naturally a large expenditure. Let alone the problem of project production reduction under industry reshuffle, the script creation cycle is already very long, and it may take one or two years to collect all the funds for a project. According to the current frequency of orders, Liu Zhe's life is indeed a little stretched.
But for him, renting a house in China World Trade Center is far more meaningful than such embarrassment. In his opinion, only by being in the most prosperous commercial area can you feel the real urban upper-class society up close and write a good urban story. At the same time, the distress of real life also provided him with another real experience. For him, renting is exquisite, for better creation. Li Ran, publicity manager of
: exquisite, just to relieve anxiety
Li Ran is a publicity manager of a film marketing company. In daily life, she does not necessarily have exquisite makeup, but she will definitely wear luxury bags. "Lined up" shoes.
But when Li Ran finished her work day in the early morning, she returned to her home in Tongzhou, and she disappeared from exhaustion. Then she became the real woman. She who only had a monthly salary of 8,000 but lived like 80,000, was anxious to sleep. . Exquisiteness is the skin that Li Ran showed to others, but as time passed, she began to "believe" a little. Believe in the exquisite life that she has created, it was not until the reminder of the credit card and Huabei bill at the beginning of the month that she was brought back to reality.
The salary arrived in October. After paying off the credit card and Huabei bills, Li Ran took advantage of the discount on Double Eleven and bought a few more cosmetics and bags. "Be more refined, tell yourself that the hard work is worth the effort." Li Ran sent me these words on the phone.
reporter Rong Rong: The sense of belonging of Apple devices
When Rong Rong just graduated and entered the job, he carried a Thinkpad to and from the major interview sites every day. I have seen a lot and found that many reporters use Apple devices, which look simple and thin, and of course they are very "style".
But if you want to afford such a notebook worth more than W, it took nearly 2 months of salary to buy the capacity at that time. After thinking about it for a long time, she finally got the first credit card in her life and bought her first Apple device in installments. Although at the beginning, she was a little uncomfortable with different system operations and different interfaces, but she enjoyed it. When I went to interview again, it seemed that I had more confidence and a sense of belonging. Later, Rong Rong of
also replaced his mobile phone with an Apple, and also purchased an iPad to become a true "Apple family", and it must be replaced every new model. Although there are hundreds of dollars in the draft, the feeling of embracing high-end equipment is enough to make her happy.
exquisiteness is a major pursuit of many young people today. And being poor is often the price everyone paid for exquisiteness, or the current economic situation that they cannot improve temporarily.
In the eyes of outsiders, the film and television industry is bright and beautiful, but the bottom of the industry is mostly ordinary people like everyone. They often keep tolerating for their so-called film and television dreams, just for the moment they become "superiors". Under the exquisite and gorgeous appearance of the industry, they may sometimes not be able to be alone, giving themselves the illusion of being "upper", or trying to make themselves look more refined, hoping to gain the "higher view" of others and pave the way for their future.
Seen from the shoot sir, there is nothing wrong with exquisiteness. But blindly overdrawing the refinement of the future is also a kind of irresponsibility for the future, The most exquisite is perhaps the most exquisite.
