Become famous another day.

The show "The Birth of the Actors" will definitely cause a lot of controversy.

For example, acting skills cannot be objectively measured through a ten-minute clip on a stage like this.

For example, actors with a strong sense of camera may suffer a lot when performing on this stage.

For example, if you use PK to compete with each other in acting skills, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble.

But Lu Yanhe always believed that nothing in this world was without negative effects. If you want to accomplish something perfectly, then you might as well not do anything well.

For many actors today, the show "The Birth of the Actors" definitely has more advantages than disadvantages.

For example, young actors who want a stage to hone their acting skills, actors who want a chance to show off their acting skills, and actors who haven't found a suitable script yet but want to maintain their exposure...

In the past, Lu Yanhe always had doubts in his heart, thinking that such a program made acting too superficial. Now that he thinks about it, whether something is superficial or not sometimes does not lie in the thing itself, but in whether you treat it superficially.

It was rare that Lu Yanhe suddenly had an idea for a variety show.

The Northern Lights video is quite important.

Not only did Aurora Video attach great importance to it, but companies like Yuehutai also actively contacted us as soon as they heard the news.

Northern Lights Video has long witnessed Lu Yanhe's ability in program creativity. Until now, the program "Rooftop Confessions" is not as attractive as it was at the beginning, but because of its extremely low production cost, it is still one of the programs with the highest return rate.

If you have a good program idea and work it out in one go, you can really make money without doing anything.

To be honest, Yue Hutai came to contact him just to maintain his relationship with Lu Yanhe.

Although Lu Yanhe is talented in producing programs, he is not well-known in the industry.

However, when they learned about Lu Yanhe's ideas about this program, they were all stunned.

Because Lu Yanhe's idea was indeed earth-shattering.

Bringing already famous actors to a stage to compete in acting skills?

Crazy?
Who will come?
However, putting this point aside, if this program can really be filmed, it will definitely be a hot topic and will definitely attract a large number of people to watch it.

The difficult part about this idea is execution.

However, with Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan's connections, Yuehutai's power, and Northern Lights Video's power, can't these three parties combined find enough actors to do this show?
The most important thing is that this show has the potential to be a big hit. In the entertainment industry, you can be shameless, but you can't always be unpopular.

After the initial surprise and confusion, Northern Lights Video and Yuehu TV began to realize the huge potential of this program.

We are all in this business. If you don't even have the nose to see the potential for a hit show, then you might as well change your career.

Because a unified consensus was reached, the program was promoted very quickly.

The program needs to find three mentors who must be big names and convincing. They must not only have influence and status in the industry, but also let the audience know at a glance that they are qualified to sit here and comment on others.

For others, it is difficult to deal with such a big shot, and some even have to visit him three times. But for Lu Yanhe, it is a very simple matter.

In the past few years since his debut, he has collaborated with many big names, apart from anything else.

The directors include TV directors like Luo Yuzhong and Chen Lingling, and film directors like Wang Zhong and Liu Bige. Although Liu Bige has only made one movie, he won a major award for his first movie, which is a solid achievement.

Among the actors, the two new seniors, Shang Yongzhou and Chen Bige, can be said to be the actor ceiling with absolute convincingness. In terms of national popularity, the comedy ceiling Jia Long is also an old acquaintance. In addition to them, there are Jiang Jun, Huang Kairen, Bao Zhenzhu, Liu Zi, Zeng Qiao and a large number of actor friends who can come and serve as flying mentors.

As a coder, Lu Yanhe is a professional.

Lu Yanhe and Chen Ziyan discussed it and decided on a preliminary invitation list.

As for the competition system, Lu Yanhe thinks the simpler the better. Lu Yanhe thinks the competition system of the first season of the original class is the clearest and best-looking, with two-on-two PKs, fighting against each other, and finally selecting a champion. Because this is not a serious competition, the competition is just a form, and the core is to let the audience discover that there are so many actors with good acting skills.

Think about it carefully, how many actors have gained popularity through this show, or their popularity and industry image have seen a huge leap in improvement?

Xin Zhilei's first big hit was not "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace", which had not yet been aired. She competed with Shu Chang in this show, and the two of them were full of gunpowder, but in the end, no one was a loser - I don't know why Shu Chang didn't restart her second spring as an actor under such popularity at that time. Obviously, Shu Chang had both word-of-mouth and popularity at that time.

Not to mention, Mr. Zhou was a classic case of being chosen by Ms. Zhang at first sight, a carp leaping over the dragon gate. Many people said that he failed to ascend to the sky when he filmed a TV series with Ms. Zhang, but they didn't see how many leading roles he had played since this show until now, and those were roles that he could never get before.

Peng Yuchang already had a little fame at that time, but he was still a little weak when he participated in the show. He didn't even think about advancing. As a result, after a performance, he stood out. Later, he was recommended to Zhang Yibai by Ms. Zhang. It can't be said that he rose to fame overnight, but he definitely took a big step forward in his career.

……

Lu Yanhe thought that the success of the first season was because there were topics, PKs, even farces and quarrels on that stage, including many famous scenes, such as the famous works of this program: Ant Race and Haiwa. But the core of the core, the ones who finally advanced on this stage, always relied on acting skills.

Regardless of whether there really is a shady deal, at least in this show, all the actors have made it through relying on their acting skills.

If he wants to make "The Birth of an Actor", he must insist on this point.

Actors who come to participate in the program can be either never acted in a play, or the king of bad movies, or a topic-heavy person. It doesn't matter. The program needs gimmicks, topics, and traffic. This is an objective fact. But there is one thing, the program must be fair. You can't become a royal family and be recommended just because you can make trouble. You can't have a talisman just because you are a relative of someone.

Lu Yanhe had a good impression of this program for many reasons. One of them was that the daughter of the original heroine of "Wulin Wai Zhuan" participated in the competition. After performing on stage, the comments of the judges were really not very respectful. They were very bold, just like Ms. Zhang throwing shoes -

If a show is made to be very highbrow, with all talented actors performing, it will definitely not have that many people watching. It must have both talented and idol actors, with people crying and talking about how difficult their acting career is, and people responding to scandals such as plastic surgery and being a big shot on stage. Only then will the show be fancy, eye-catching, and explosive. But it is okay to stir up trouble, but praising each other and telling lies with open eyes will disgust the audience.

In the later stages of "The Birth of an Actor", various problems were exposed, but at least the bottom line was maintained regarding the quality of the acting and no false claims were made.

"Sister Zhiyin, I think you can come and play."

Lu Yanhe invited Liu Zhiyin when he was recording the fifth season of "Young Days".

Liu Zhiyin was stunned.

"Ah? Me? I have never acted in any play before, can I go?"

"Because you haven't acted in any plays before, you can go without any burden." Lu Yanhe said, "If you don't act well, people will be more tolerant of you, because you are a singer after all."

"Then I will be eliminated directly?" Liu Zhiyin asked.

Lu Yanhe smiled and said, "If you are eliminated from a show that competes in acting skills, everyone will think it is normal and will not think that you are not good enough. On the contrary, if you have an incredible performance that is beyond everyone's expectations, you will also receive more applause."

Liu Zhiyin: "Why do I feel like you are just fooling me? Although I have been fooled by you and am a little tempted."

Lu Yanhe laughed and said, "Because a new program needs attention and freshness, I hope there are contestants of all types in this program. You are the most suitable contestant in this cross-border type. You are very popular and famous. You have tried acting, but you don't have much experience. People are looking forward to it."

Liu Zhiyin pondered for a moment and said, "I have to go back and think about it carefully. It's not that I don't want to agree to you, but I'm really a little afraid to go on this stage."

"Understood, Sister Zhiyin, I'll wait for you to contact me." Lu Yanhe winked at Liu Zhiyin, "There is another benefit for you to participate in this program."

"What's the benefit?" Liu Zhiyin asked.

"Because you are interested in acting but you have no experience, you dare not play important roles easily, and basically you play guest roles." Lu Yanhe said, "On this stage, although the performance time may only be a dozen minutes, it is a segment, but in that segment, you are the protagonist and the play is all on you. You don't have to go through a formal filming to test whether you have the talent to be an actor. You can feel it when you come to this program. There will be professional acting instructors to guide your acting skills, first-line screenwriters will tailor scripts for you, and there will be the best mentors to evaluate your performance."

Liu Zhiyin took a deep breath.

"You are so bad. You tempted me like this!"

Lu Yanhe smiled.
-
Lu Yanhe is very happy to record "Young Days" with everyone again.

Because they know each other too well.

This kind of familiarity comes from spending time together. We know each other's situations over the past few years very well and there is no sense of strangeness.

Also, because we hadn't seen each other for a long time, we didn't arrange any tasks or games on the first day and let everyone move freely.

When a show reaches its fifth season, there is actually no need to do too many formal things.

Just seeing these old friends sitting together and talking would be very interesting, and a lot of people would watch.

They hadn't seen each other for a long time, and finally they could sit together and have a good chat.

This meeting is actually the best time.

Everyone's career is developing well, and no one is frustrated.

There is no need for everyone to have any concerns.

In addition to his own talk show "Zhixing", Peng Zhixing has also appeared in many other shows.

He is not the kind of host who is very witty and funny, but he gives people a very relaxed feeling. In addition, he is quite handsome and has many fans who like him for his looks.

When he met Peng Zhixing this time, Lu Yanhe invited him.

"Brother Zhixing, please be the host of the show "The Birth of the Actors."" Lu Yanhe said.

This program must have a host. Although many people say that Lu Yanhe's current achievements are enough for him to sit in the mentor seat, he feels that as a young man in his early twenties, it is not appropriate at all - this also needs to take into account the feelings of the audience and the contestants.

No matter how good his acting skills are, it is inappropriate to let a group of actor contestants who are older than him be criticized and instructed by him on the stage.

This is not appropriate in a logical sense.

Therefore, Lu Yanhe planned to play the role of Teacher Zhang Guoli, the convener.

Of course, he is also the convener of this program.

Peng Zhixing is the one who has collaborated with Lu Yanhe the most in the past four years on the show "Young Days", including Li Zhibai and Yan Liang.

Mainly because his profession is a host.

He is the only host that Lu Yanhe is really close to.

Therefore, for TV series and movies starring or written by Lu Yanhe, whether it is the premiere or a special viewing event, any larger one would invite Peng Zhixing to host it.

Lu Yanhe himself would also bring others to his talk show and other hosting programs to promote the show.

In addition, Peng Zhixing is also a special interviewer for the film and television version of "Jump Up", doing film and television interviews.

After four years of cooperation, it can be said that because of Lu Yanhe, Peng Zhixing is also one of the younger generation of hosts who has very close contacts with the film and television industry.

Especially for the interview column of the film and television version of "Jump Up", after four years of doing it, connections are secondary. Peng Zhixing's understanding, aesthetics and experience of film and television are not easily compared with other hosts. What kind of film and television works are there in different countries and regions, what is the context in China, what works have the directors shot, how the style has evolved, and what are the actors like -

This requires basic skills accumulated over time to truly make an interview in-depth and practical.

Otherwise, you can only ask people, how do you stay so thin? What was it like making this movie? What do you want to share with everyone about your role?
These are all very simple questions that anyone can ask.

It can be said that after four years, Peng Zhixing has become the most suitable young host for the show "The Birth of the Actors".

Because he understands well enough.

Peng Zhixing didn't hesitate at all and agreed readily.

"Yan He, you came back from filming abroad. I thought you would be quiet for a while, but I didn't expect you to start making big troubles without saying a word." Xiao Yun said with a smile, "How can you make troubles so well?"

Lu Yanhe: "Ideas keep popping up in my mind one after another. I can't stay still."

As soon as "Wulin Waijia" was broadcast, Xiao Yun's popularity skyrocketed.

If Liu Zi, who played the role of Tong the Shopkeeper, was recognized by the industry for her very distinctive acting style and aroused heated discussions, then Guo Furong, played by Xiao Yun, became one of the most popular characters among young people.

Especially for the students, they are not yet old enough to appreciate the goodness of the role of Tong Zhanggui. Their favorite characters are Bai Zhantang played by Huang Kairen and Guo Furong played by Xiao Yun.

That's the charm of the character.

Especially the character of Guo Furong, who dares to love and hate, is carefree and sometimes confused. She is a very alternative female hero character - strictly speaking, she just dreams of being a female hero, but in this world, no one recognizes her as a female hero.

It is such a role that happens to touch the hearts of many young people.

In a sense, her character is the same as Rachel in Friends. They both have many small flaws in life, but because their essence and underlying setting are very kind and good people, all the small flaws eventually become their cute and lovable features.

Xiao Yun benefited from the popularity of this character and the audience's perception of this character. As his popularity soared, his national popularity also increased. This is a rare character that people of all ages will not dislike.

Xiao Yun said to Lu Yanhe: "My boss has been wanting to treat you to a meal, thank you for giving me this role, haha."

"Not so polite."

Xiao Yun: "I know you definitely have no interest. This kind of dinner is really boring."

Lu Yanhe nodded: "I really don't have much interest. Instead of having a meal like this, I would rather go to the cinema with you to watch a movie."

"Then the rumors will spread immediately." Xiao Yun smiled and raised his hands, making a cross, "Now cameras are everywhere."

Lu Yanhe also laughed.

"Then let me put it another way. I'd rather stay at home and read."

Xiao Yun asked Lu Yanhe in surprise: "Do you still read books often now?"

"Yeah." Lu Yanhe nodded.

Xiao Yun sighed regretfully, as if he was a little envious, and said, "I really want to be like you and still be able to read books, but now after I open the book, I can't concentrate and read those words line by line."

“So how do you read the script?”

"Reading the script was fine. My mood was different. When I was reading the script, I knew that I might play this story in the future. I was reading the script completely from an actor's perspective." Xiao Yun said, "Also, I think the script is much easier to read than many literary works."

"There's no need to force yourself. Just forget it if you can't read it."

"But I remember you said in an interview, right? Actors should read more, because that is the only way to expand the boundaries of their minds and aesthetics as much as possible." Xiao Yun said, "When I saw this interview, I thought you were too literary, but now I feel more and more limited - there are many scripts sent to me, and I can only tell whether the script attracts me and makes me want to read it. Other than that, I have no ability to judge the literary value of the script. To be honest, Yan He, if the script of the movie "Road to Glory" in which you acted was sent to me, I would not be able to finish reading it, and I would find it very boring."

Lu Yanhe: "This——"

He didn't know what to say for a moment.

Xiao Yun: "I still want to force myself to read more books. I can't really waste my time like this."

She looked as if she was determined to do this.

Lu Yanhe didn't know what to say because he always felt that if you really couldn't concentrate on reading a book, there was no need to force yourself to read it. Why make yourself unhappy?

But as an actor, literary literacy largely determines the complexity of the characters that can be portrayed in the future.

Many actors are talented and can perform very well right from the start. But talent cannot be cultivated forever. Any talented person, if he cannot continuously enrich and improve himself, will actually be confined to a certain performance mode. Over time, the audience will feel repetitive and aesthetically fatigued.

Reading more books helps expand your inner world.

Only when one's inner world becomes bigger and bigger, can the world an actor can touch in his performance become bigger and bigger.

To be honest, actors of their generation have not experienced any changes in the times or the ups and downs of life. Lu Yanhe has experienced a lot - this is why many media believe that his performance is much richer than his peers. Most young actors have a stable life, studying, going to college, and then joining the crew. In the end, even the most basic crying and laughing need to be honed to present a relatively real state.

It would be almost impossible to ask them to play a more complex role that is more detached from everyday life.

Reading is a shortcut.

For actors, it is important to look at text rather than pictures and images.

Because words allow actors to empathize in an imaginary world, which is a function that pictures and videos cannot replace.
-
Xiao Yun is considered to have good acting skills among the younger generation of actors.

Her acting career has actually been very smooth.

Not long after her debut, she co-starred with Lu Yanhe in "Phoenix Tower" directed by Chen Lingling, and won the Best Supporting Actress Award from the China Directors Association. Although it is not one of the three major mainstream awards, it is not a fake award and still has some value.

Now, Xiao Yun has become popular again thanks to "Wulin Waijiao" and his popularity has soared.

It can be said that among the younger generation of actresses, she is already in the first echelon.

But in this situation, Xiao Yun could see more clearly the gap between himself and Lu Yanhe.

In fact, Xiao Yun was not jealous of any achievements made by Lu Yanhe. This was her true feelings.

However, when Xiao Yun realized that her reserves were pitifully small, she had a guilty feeling that she was almost out of resources at such a young age. She knew very well that this was because she had filmed with many excellent actors at a very early age. She would not compare herself with her peers, but with the actors of "Phoenix Terrace" and "Wulin Waijiao". This comparison made her feel ashamed.

Xiao Yun couldn't even tell anyone, because if she said she felt inferior at this time, others would just think she was being Versailles.

Just like Lu Yanhe who had just started acting.

Lu Yanhe was actually quite surprised.

Xiao Yun became famous overnight, but he did not immediately fall into a state of pride and complacency. Instead, he took the initiative to realize that his cultivation was far from enough.

This is quite different from Xiao Yun's usual happy and carefree behavior.

Xiao Yun is the kind of person who looks very confident at first glance.

In the evening, after everyone had dinner together, Song Linxin suddenly said, "We haven't played games together for a long time, how about playing some games?"

"What do you want to play?" Peng Zhixing asked immediately.

Song Linxin asked: "Actually, I really wanted to play Turtle Soup. Later, I played it with others a few times. I really liked this game."

It was Peng Zhixing who brought the Turtle Soup game to this show, which scared many people.

Peng Zhixing asked, "Does anyone have a better turtle soup?"

Li Zhibai was the first to raise his hand: "I encountered this before when I was playing with others. I don't know if you have heard of it. If you have heard of it, shut up and don't talk."

Everyone smiled and said yes.

At this time, Peng Zhixing suddenly looked towards the camera and explained: "Dear viewers, if you still don't know what turtle soup is, I recommend you to watch the first season of our show. Let me explain briefly. The way to play this game is that the questioner proposes an event that seems difficult to understand on the surface, which we call the soup surface. Participants can ask any questions to try to narrow down the scope and find out the real reason behind the event. We call this reason the soup base. During the process, the questioner can only answer the question with yes, right or no, wrong, and it doesn't matter."

The host's instincts are spot on.

Everything was ready, and Li Zhibai proposed the turtle soup: "The soup is, I played hide-and-seek with my mother, and when my mother saw me, I couldn't move at all."

Song Linxin was the most active and asked immediately: "Am I dead?"

Li Zhibai said: "No."

Yan Liang then asked: "Am I stuck somewhere?"

"Not really." Li Zhibai shook his head.

Qin Zhibai asked: "Does the reason why I didn't move have anything to do with my mother seeing me?"

"Yes." Li Zhibai nodded.

"Am I not moving because I'm nervous and scared?" Lu Yanhe guessed.

Li Zhibai smiled and nodded: "Yes."

Liu Zhiyin hugged her arms with both hands.

"Why does it feel a bit scary?"

Lidya Su hugged Xiao Yun's arm and asked nervously, "Is there anyone dead in this story?"

Li Zhibai nodded, "Yes."

Song Linxin reacted instantly, "So it's not me who died, it's mom who died?"

Li Zhibai nodded again, "Yes."

"She's dead, how can she still be looking at me?" Yan Liang immediately questioned.

Liu Zhiyin's voice trembled a little, "Are you dying with your eyes open?"

"Yes."

"Ah——" Liu Zhiyin hugged Xiao Yun directly, "Why is it this horrible again!"

Li Zhibai smiled triumphantly.

"Have we guessed it yet?" Yan Liang asked.

"No, you haven't guessed why I didn't move in the story." Li Zhibai said, "You haven't guessed the reason yet."

Lu Yanhe sighed.

"What's wrong?" Li Zhibai asked.

"I think I figured it out."

"What is it?" Song Linxin asked.

Lu Yanhe: "It's a bit... creepy."

Lu Yanhe looked at Li Zhibai: "In the story, am I hiding under the bed or in the closet, somewhere hidden where no one would easily find me?"

Li Zhibai nodded: "Yes."

Lu Yanhe then asked, "Mom was already dead, but her eyes were still open, and she could see me - was it because I was playing hide-and-seek with Mom, and I found a place to hide for a long time, and suddenly someone dragged Mom's body in, so I saw Mom's eyes that were still open, and I was so scared that I dared not move?"

The four girls, including the bravest Xiao Yun, were all stunned and looked at Lu Yanhe in disbelief.

Li Zhibai looked at Lu Yanhe in disbelief and asked, "Have you seen this turtle soup?"

"No." Lu Yanhe shook his head, "I guessed."

Li Zhibai: "Oh my god, you are exaggerating! Have you guessed it right away?"

"Because everyone's questions earlier actually revealed all the clues." Lu Yanhe said, "In the story, there are only my mother and I. Song Linxin asked me if I was dead. She thought that I was dead because I was motionless. You said no. Then Su Xiao asked if there was anyone dead. You said yes, so the dead person could only be my mother. There must be a reason for the motionlessness. I asked you if it was because you were nervous and scared, and you said yes. In addition, Sister Zhiyin asked if my mother died with her eyes open, and you said yes. Basically, the whole story line came out."

"You are indeed a screenwriter. You have strung all the clues together so quickly." Peng Zhixing laughed, "To be honest, I feel that this short story can become a very attractive beginning of a horror movie."

Lu Yanhe also laughed, "But the story is hard to make whole."

“Is it difficult to round?”

"Yeah." Lu Yanhe nodded. "Turtle Soup has basically told the story. If you want to continue, it's actually about me escaping from the murderer, or I want to avenge my mother. There are only two possibilities, and then explore why my mother was killed. However, even if it is made into a movie, a storyline is needed. Under such a framework, I am a child again. I can't think too maturely or have too high an IQ, otherwise it will not be real and people will feel fake. I don't have the energy to explore, unless more characters are introduced, such as neighbors or police, to give the characters more perspectives. Otherwise, under the current situation, the power disparity between the two sides is too great. It is actually difficult to form a power relationship of confrontation with each other. It is too difficult to write a complete story based on this."

"If you were asked to develop it, how would you do it? How could you escape this rut?" Yan Liang asked curiously.

"Yes, if you receive such a story, you will definitely be asked to write it, and you must write it. How would you write it?" Xiao Yun asked curiously.

Lu Yanhe thought about it seriously for about three minutes, and everyone just waited quietly for him to think.

Lu Yanhe finally thought of an idea and laughed.

"I think the idea I came up with is also very scary."

"Ah? What's the idea?"

"I discovered that the person who killed my mother was actually my father, and my father knew that I was also in this house." Lu Yanhe said. (End of this chapter)
