Entertainment from Charlotte's Troubles

Chapter 224 Another Batch of Traffic Stars

Yuan Hua and Guo Jingming were the first mentors to arrive. Not long after they took the stage, directors Lu Yang and Chen Kexin followed.

"Teacher Yuan, please give me your advice. Teachers, please give me your advice. I am a newcomer to film and there are many things I don't understand."

Even in the face of Yuan Hua, a junior, she did not show a superior attitude.

In fact, she couldn't stand above others in front of Yuan Hua, because her reputation was not as great as Yuan Hua's.

Let's just put it this way, in terms of internal entertainment, Yuan Hua's status is the same as Liu Tianwang among the four heavenly kings of Xiangjiang.

Personal word-of-mouth is not much to say, there are very few bad dramas, which belong to the kind of well-known.

I also like to do charity work!

Almost 360 degrees with no dead ends, good character and good artist.

Regardless of his identity as an artist, he is still the owner of a film and television company. He has produced too many film and television dramas and has successfully made money. Who would offend him if he has nothing to do? Isn't it uncomfortable?

"Miss Wei is being humble. You are all directors. I am the only actor in the audience. I suspect that the program team asked me to fill in the numbers."

Yuan Hua's identity as a mentor is true, but he is different from several directors in that he does not participate in the director's robbing and team formation.

He is uniquely positioned as a commentator representing the audience.

Evaluate the students' acting skills from the perspective of seeking truth from facts and give reasonable evaluations.

"You are not charging, we are the charging."

Before coming here, I found out clearly that the planner of the program is Yuan Hua, and his salary is also the highest.

Several people exchanged pleasantries for more than ten minutes, and they sat back in their seats only after being reminded by the staff.

A dozen meters directly in front of them is a large screen, surrounded by seats for practitioners.

Suddenly, the screen lights up, and the picture shows a hall, where dozens of students are chatting and laughing, as if they don't know that their every move falls into the eyes of the camera.

At the same time, Yuan Hua and the others got the student information given by the program group.

"Teachers, after the students have introduced themselves, you can score according to your first impressions and the information you have obtained. According to the scores, we divide the students into four areas, ABCD."

"With different grades, each student has different rights. For example, those with higher grades can give priority to choosing the roles of works to be performed."

The rules of the game are very simple, everyone understood it, and their eyes fell on the big screen.

Over there, the host used the microphone to tell the students to introduce themselves to the camera. They were coy, and no one took the initiative to step forward.

Most of the students are born in the 20s, in their [-]s, when they were young, and they were a little hesitant.In addition, when I came here on the first day, I was a little unsure about the routine of the program group, and I was worried that the gun would hit the top bird.

After a while, a girl in a long skirt stepped forward.

As if she knew who was behind the camera, she waved her hand and said generously, "Hello teachers, audience friends, I'm actor Yang Zi, a graduate of Nortel's acting department..."

The reason for mentioning the word undergraduate graduation is because there is a senior vocational class in the performance department of Nortel, and I am worried that the audience will misunderstand.

"A child star who debuted and graduated from a major, this can be scored [-] points." Guo Jingming tentatively said after reading Yang Zi's self-introduction.

"I think the appearance is a little bit." Lu Yang didn't feel embarrassed to say that Yang Zi was not very beautiful: "It's not amazing enough, but fortunately, he has acting skills, maybe 65 points."

Chen Kexin looked at Yuan Hua: "What do you think?"

Turning the pen in his hand, Yuan Hua said: "I'm only here to represent the audience's point of view, and I don't participate in scoring, but from my understanding of the program rules, this level is actually what we call scoring the market value of actors."

"If there is market value, there will be privileges, such as the selection of scripts mentioned by the program group."

"So I think scoring should not only consider the background and whether you have graduated from a major, fame, representative works, and popularity should also be taken into consideration."

"Just like when several directors choose roles, will they also give priority to choosing those with market value?"

Several directors nodded, Yuan Hua made it very clear, to put it bluntly, it depends on whether a person is popular or not.

If you are popular, your points will be high, and the right to choose will be great.

"Will this be a bit too cruel, can it be broadcast?"

It's very realistic and cruel, but that's how the real entertainment industry is, it's just that there are some things that are not clearly stated.

If this is broadcast, it will definitely subvert the imagination of the audience.

From the perspective of ordinary audiences, as long as actors have good acting skills, they will be able to stand out sooner or later. In fact, this is not the case at all. Sometimes they fight for a role without knowing how many times.

Yuan Hua said lightly: "Our variety show originally simulated the whole process from casting to joining the group, and it's normal to correspond to reality."

Exposing the rules of the crew is part of the variety show's highlights.

"Then if you rate, how much do you rate?" Chen Kexin asked, feeling fresh.

"Yang Zi made her debut as a child star, graduated from majors, and has representative works. Last week, an urban drama called Ode to Joy was broadcast. She played the third female role. She was very popular. I think she is very commercially valuable. Too much."

"Then you didn't consider appearance and character fit. If you were in my group..." The young Lu Yang refused to accept it and retorted Yuan Hua.

He also pays attention to the commercial value of actors when filming, but he pays more attention to acting skills.

Seeing that the two had a disagreement, the director sitting in front of the monitor not only did not stop him, but was very happy.

It's boring to be friendly, and it's the ratings that come from arguing.

Yuan Hua spread his hands: "Don't get excited, it's not that far yet, it's just the most preliminary commercial value assessment."

Lu Yang felt a lump in his chest, and stopped immediately.

Afterwards, the students introduced themselves one by one one by one, and Yuan Hua was also watching carefully. Except for Tan Songyun, he really didn't know about the others.

"Hello, teachers. My name is Li Xian. I graduated from the Performance Department of Nortel with a bachelor's degree. I represent forensic doctor Qin Ming..."

"Hello teachers, my name is Tan Songyun. I was born in 1990. I am 26 years old this year. I graduated from a junior college in Nortel Higher Vocational Class. I have debuted for seven years. I have acted in The Legend of Zhen Huan, Gu Jian Qi Tan, and I am very charming in a slight smile. Whirlwind Girl, the best We have played the female number one."

"Hello teachers, my name is Xiao Zhan. I debuted in a men's group in [-]. I haven't acted in a film or television drama yet..."

"Hello teachers, my name is Zhao Jinma, I was born in 14, I am [-] years old, and I have debuted for six years..."

"My name is Li Xin..."

"My name is Wang Shen..."

"My name is Lamu Yangzi..."

Following a personal introduction, Yuan Hua heard many artists who will be popular in the future, and several directors also lowered their heads to rate. Soon, the self-introduction was completed.

After collecting the scores, the host left. After a while, chattering outside, people came in one after another. It was the student who was introducing himself just now.

"Yang Zi's average score is 78, so he can sit in Zone A. Tan Songyun's average score is [-], and he can sit in Zone A...Xiao has [-] points, so he can sit in Zone D."

More than 40 students came together, sat down in corresponding positions, and did their work quietly one by one, not daring to make any noise.

The second they entered the door, they could clearly see the person sitting on the instructor's seat.

One coffee position is bigger than the other. Although Guo Jingming's reputation in the industry is not good, it is also an existence that young actors like them can't wait for.

I don't even deserve to be in his bad movie.

Lu Yang is even more powerful, the male lead is Yuan Hua, the female lead is Liu Sisi, Yang Mi and others, who are either the popular little flower or the best actor.

Needless to say, Chen Kexin has been in the industry for decades. In the early years, he worked with Zhang Guorong, Liang Chaowei, and Liu Dehua. After entering the mainland these years, he transformed into Yuan Hua, Huang Bo, Huang Xiaoming, Tong Dawei and others.

The man on Chen Kexin's left who doesn't speak much and looks ordinary is currently the most popular male star in China, bar none.

Across the three habitats of singing, film and television, singing won the Golden Melody Award, filming TV dramas won the TV Emperor, filming movies won the Best Actor, and filming online dramas won the Lifetime Achievement Award.

Where do such a group of bigwigs sit, how dare they whisper to each other, and they have to straighten their spines, otherwise if they leave a bad impression, they will want to hang out in the future.

The host is very dedicated and is announcing the rules of the program group, mainly for the students and the audience.

"This program adopts a multi-round elimination system. We have prepared 46 classic works, a total of [-] scripts. After a while, students in Area A can give priority to choosing their favorite scripts."

"The ones who are selected for the same play are automatically combined into a group. You have 24 hours of rehearsal time, and you will perform on stage a day later. According to your performance, the instructor will give each person a score, and the one with the lowest score will be eliminated..."

Hearing this, those who were planning to form a team with well-known students were dismissed.

Those who are on the same emotional team are competitors.

If you choose a strong one, but you can't beat them, wouldn't you be eliminated?

46 people, you look at me, I look at you, secretly analyzing the gap between the enemy and ourselves.

"Everyone, please look at the big screen. The person with the highest A score can choose the script."

Tan Songyun had the highest score. Seeing many scripts on the big screen, she moved her eyes and chose the mythical Lu Susu.

This role is played by Jing Tian, ​​the proprietress of his own company, it is no problem to learn from her later, and it is not good to ask Yuan Hua, a foreign aid, as a guide.

"I choose NO.15, Zhuxian Lu Xueqi!" After weighing the pros and cons, Yang Zi chose Lu Xueqi's script.

The company has long positioned her as a woman who can handle both ancient costumes and cities.

Li Xin, Xiao Zhan and others also chose ancient costumes, obviously very confident in their appearance, because ordinary people can't control ancient costumes.

The lovable characters are all taken away, and it is difficult for the people behind to choose.

Choose a popular drama, if you want to hit a popular artist, it is difficult to choose an unpopular one, and they are worried that they will not be able to control the role, so they are very entangled.

Soon, 46 scripts had owners, and the last few people had no choice but to be forced to accept.

For example, Lamu Yangzi, when it was her turn, only Li Hongqin, the beloved human trafficker wife of the movie, was left among the female characters.

From the beginning of the recording to the end of the selection of the repertoire, it took more than an hour to divide into teams. The instructor left the seat, everyone left, and began to prepare for the performance.

The students gathered in groups of three or four to analyze the script and check the lines.The program team sent fifteen filming teams to support them.

The scenery has been set up long ago, and as long as the students give an order, the filming can start at any time.

"Sister Songyun, it's been a long time. I didn't expect to meet you here. Don't rush away later. I'll treat you to dinner."

"It's Yang Zi, I'm so sorry, I have to work on the script today, the schedule is tight and the task is heavy, next time, I will invite you next time."

"Brother, you're so handsome, you're from a boy group, what's your name?"

"Xiao Zhan."

As soon as the mentor left, the scene became a small society. There was no shortage of friends around the more popular people, and no one paid attention to those unknown people.

Most of them are not familiar with each other, but they are still in the same group. They are still competitors, so they can only communicate with each other.

No one wants to be eliminated by himself, and everyone hopes that the other party will cooperate with him in acting.

Some relatively strong people directly use an imperative tone to get people to cooperate, and even modify their lines during the process of word matching.

In less than two hours, the scene was in chaos. It was the first time I felt the cruelty of the crew, and some young actors cried directly.

What they don't know is that their every move is being photographed.

More than an hour after the recording in the morning, Yuan Hua went home to rest. At noon, he was having lunch with Jing Tian when Tan Songyun called.

It's for Jing Tian.

The two were so close that he happened to hear them clearly.

Tan Songyun said that she couldn't grasp the role of Lu Susu a little bit, and wanted to ask Jing Tian for advice.

"I'll talk to her." Before Jing Tian could speak, Yuan Hua took the phone and said, "I can't explain clearly on the phone, why don't I go and guide you personally."

"Really? That's so embarrassing."

"What's the matter with embarrassment? Sister Tan called me herself. I have to save face. Tell me a time, and I'll go over."

At the scene of the program group, Tan Songyun sneered and said, "I was just joking, so I won't bother you, Mr. Yuan."

Hearing that Yuan Hua's tone was not kind, how dare she ask for advice on acting skills, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

There is a scene to be filmed in one day, and the time is too tight. She hasn't eaten since morning. At first, she memorized the lines, and then watched Jing Tian's original clips, and studied for more than an hour.

After a while, I will have dialogues and rehearsals with the opposing actors, and the filming will officially start in the afternoon. I don't know when the filming will be finished.

The next day, after breakfast, Yuan Hua came to record the show.

The students all had panda eyes, some raised their eyes and yawned, it seemed that they didn't sleep well yesterday.

"Everyone has worked hard. I heard that some people rehearse and shoot all night. It is not easy. I hope that when you come to the crew in the future, you can continue to maintain this enthusiasm, instead of maintaining it for a day or two because of the needs of the show."

While feeling emotional, Yuan Hua changed his voice: "I chatted with some teachers in the morning, and said that some students gave gifts to the teachers after the show yesterday, and invited them to dinner. It's quite a matter."

"Don't do things like this next time. After recording the variety show, you can talk about everything, make friends, give things, no one cares about you."

In front of the camera, Yuan Hua revealed the matter. Some students were extremely surprised, and some had ugly faces.

Inviting guests to dinner and giving gifts is a common practice, not necessarily done by the students on their own initiative, some are taken by the manager to communicate with the instructor, hoping to take care of them later.

In the crew, this kind of thing is common, and those who have connections and connections will use their strengths.

Those who don't care about connections will also use their own strengths.

Some are special!
After in-depth communication with the director, life in the crew will be much easier in the future.
