Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1397
"Recently there have been quite a few rumors that candidates assigned to New Art City will be recruited to New Oriental after passing the test. I couldn't laugh or cry when I heard it."

Mai Jia is currently in charge of the interview, and during this period he has heard a lot of rumors circulating outside.

At the beginning, Maijia and the others didn't pay too much attention to these rumors, thinking that when the facts came out, those rumors would be self-defeating.

But what he didn't expect was that these rumors intensified. When he came to work today, he found that most of the students who were waiting for interviews were very excited.

"This kind of rumor still needs to be clarified in time. After all, this is not a trivial matter, and it is related to the company's reputation."

Lin Daoqiu didn't want this kind of rumors to continue to spread, otherwise, what would the students who were assigned to Dongshi TV station for interviews think.

"Go and inform Huang Xizhao, and ask him to issue a clarification announcement as soon as possible, so that everyone will not continue to spread the word."

Lin Daoqiu turned his head and told Jinsheng to order, he nodded immediately and went out to call Huang Xizhao.

The rumors are just trivial matters, as long as the TV station clarifies them, those rumors will naturally disappear with the wind.

What Lin Daoqiu is concerned about now is still the interview, after all, it is related to the quality of East Vision's future stars.

"The primary election will eliminate 500 people. The workload is not ordinary."

Lin Daoqiu had told them before that only 500 people would be retained after the primary election, and more than 4000 people would be eliminated just like this.

It is not difficult to keep 500 people, but the difficulty is to pick out the 5000 people who are more outstanding from the [-] people.

And Mai Jia knew very well that among the 500 people, most of them would probably be eliminated, and it would be pretty good to have 50 people left in the end.

"Dongshi will recruit about 50 students this time. Since it is the first phase of Dongshi's artist training class, naturally we can't be sloppy."

Lin Daoqiu paid special attention to this matter, and this time he came to Xinyi City to observe it.

In fact, he didn't personally interview any of the students, he just wanted to see if he could find some familiar faces.

When he came in before, he had already met Li Yaoxiang, this actor is considered a late bloomer.

Li Yaoxiang had no achievements when he was young, and he was out of control after he became the leading actor at the age of 45.

After more than ten years of acting and supporting roles in TVB, it was not until middle age that he accumulated a lot of money.

Lin Daoqiu intends to recruit him into Dongshi's artist training class and polish it well. As for what kind of development will happen in the future, it depends on Li Yaoxiang to work hard, and Lin Daoqiu will not add to the flames.

In addition to Li Yaoxiang whom Lin Daoqiu met, there are many future big stars who have participated in the assessment of this session of Dongshi Artist Training Class.

However, due to too many excellent students, some outstanding actors could not be admitted, and were eliminated during the initial examination.

After all, there are only 50 places, and it is really troublesome who will be kept.

Moreover, it is impossible to recruit all the students according to the male and female protagonists. After all, apart from the leading roles, there are also main supporting roles and some secondary roles in TV dramas.

If they only want to recruit male and female protagonists, then who will play the supporting roles and secondary roles in the future?
It can't be that the characters in a TV series are all a group of handsome men and beautiful women, which is not good.

"Xiangzi, don't be so downcast. You just finished the interview in the morning and you were eliminated so quickly. You are overthinking."

Guo Zhenghong and Li Yaoxiang only met in the morning, and they took him out for supper at night.

Although the two of them have not yet become very close friends, it is considered as one of Li Yaoxiang's gains from taking this exam.

"The examiner looked expressionless at the time, and I thought I might have screwed up my performance."

Li Yaoxiang had a lot of activity in his mind. He was always worried about the interview this morning, always thinking that he had screwed up, or maybe he had already been eliminated.

Unlike Li Yaoxiang, Guo Zhenghong was obviously more optimistic. He felt that Li Yaoxiang was just thinking wildly.

At this moment, two people suddenly walked by, when one of them suddenly let out a cry.

"You guys also participated in the exam of Dongshi Artist Training Class this time. My name is Chen Tingwei, and I also took the exam."

After Guo Zhenghong turned his head and listened to what the other party said, he immediately stood up and shook hands with Chen Tingwei enthusiastically.

"My name is Guo Zhenghong, and his name is Li Yaoxiang. Nice to meet you."

Next to Chen Tingwei were Luo Jialiang and Liming. They both participated in the interview at Dongshi. Because they sat together, they chatted for a few words and became friends.

"It's better to meet by chance than to invite each other. Everyone who has taken this exam is considered a classmate. Let's sit down and chat together."

Guo Zhenghong took the initiative to invite Chen Tingwei and the others, and then five people sat at a table.

The topic of conversation of several people naturally revolved around today's exam.

Li Yaoxiang is very concerned about acting skills, and he also cares about the reactions of those examiners.

But Chen Tingwei and Liming didn't care that much, they both felt that the examiner was unlikely to have any special reaction.

"In such a short period of time, I think it is almost impossible for someone who has never acted before to achieve an acting skill that can attract the examiners."

Luo Jialiang does not think that there are no such people, but such people can only be said to be a minority of the minority.

At least according to his observation today, more than [-]% of the people were already nervous before the interview started, and some people were even startled when their name was called.

Unless they have participated in the shooting experience of film and television dramas before, it is still difficult for most people to perform at a super standard.

"Didn't Mr. Lin ask you to cheer up today? You should have confidence in yourself. I think you should be fine."

At this time, Guo Zhenghong suddenly said something that surprised the other three.

After Guo Zhenghong finished speaking, the eyes of Chen Tingwei and the others turned to Li Yaoxiang at the same time.

Could it be that this unattractive-looking guy actually knew Lin Daoqiu?

Li Yaoxiang shook his head and gave him a blank stare.

"Mr. Lin's words are just polite words. Even if someone else stood in front of him, he would say the same thing, and he doesn't even know my name, so how could he know who I am?"

Li Yaoxiang felt that it was absolutely impossible for Lin Daoqiu to know who he was, so he didn't think too much about the cheering sentence in the morning.

If he really knew Lin Daoqiu, he wouldn't be so worried about this assessment.
