Full-time actor

Chapter 315 [142] The biggest opponent of the Spring Festival Gala!

Chen Yu greeted Chen Kun and Shen politely with several acquaintances.

The so-called "lower your head but not your head" means you are in the same circle after all, so you still need to maintain the minimum social etiquette.

Who might be popular in the future?

Chen Kun now has such a sense of déjà vu. When he was filming "The Golden Family" a year ago, Chen Yu was just a little actor with no reputation. What about now?
It already made him feel a little looked up to, especially the awards.

Many people say that his acting skills are good, but in fact he has never won a single award. Even in later generations, he was shortlisted for the Golden Rooster and Golden Horse. It can only be said that he is better at acting among the famous actors of his generation. .

Not to mention comparing with Xia Yu and Liu Huohua, Bao Qiang's acting skills are actually as good as his.

He went to Cannes a year ago, and headlines on various websites boasted about it for a while. Now everyone who sees it is embarrassed.

"What show are you on? Do you sing?"

Chen Kun stood there with his hands in his pockets and asked casually.

"No, little magic!"

"magic?"

Shen Hao next to him was stunned for a moment, but he pursed his lips and smiled.

She recalled that they went to Jiangnan Satellite TV to record the launch conference of "Dragon" last year. Chen Yu performed a magic show. Not to mention the audience, they were a little shocked at the time, and they all asked him how it happened afterwards. With.

In her opinion, Chen Yu's magic level is indeed high, comparable to that of professionals.

Anyway, Shen Hao didn't see any flaws last time.

And it's wonderful.

Chen Kun on the side smiled and said, "Magic is a bit of a disadvantage!"

As someone who has been there, he knows that the easiest programs for actors to perform in the Spring Festival Gala are either sketches or singing and dancing.

The singing and dancing category is the easiest to pass, and the review is also the loosest.

"We can't compete with professionals in magic, but the review is simple. If you pass it, you'll pass it!"

“It’s not like the language category, which has to be finalized!”

Chen Kun was just chatting. In fact, in his opinion, Chen Yu's choice of magic was very irrational.

Taking amateurs to challenge professionals, they are professional actors, and of course they understand the gap between them: "There should be a magic show in this Spring Festival Gala, right? There will definitely be some powerful magicians invited. Did the program team ask you to perform magic?"

"No, Director Yuan wanted me to perform magic. I thought about it and didn't refuse!"

"Let's just sing. Aren't you good at singing? You should be able to sing "Secret Fragrance" in the Spring Festival Gala!"

Of course Chen Kun was just a friendly suggestion, and Chen Yu nodded: "Well, if Magic is screened out in the second trial this time, I will switch to singing and dancing!"

Shen Hao: "..."

Chen Kun: "..."

"Is there someone backstage?"

Chen Kun finally understood.

Depend on!
Chen Yu should have been invited by the Spring Festival Gala this time, which is different from those who applied.

The so-called strong invitations are basically guaranteed to be accepted, just like Zhou Jilun and Zhao Benshan; but Chen Kun is different. If he is screened out, he will have to apply again next year. Here is one The importance of invitations.

Although Chen Kun is very popular this year, he is not required to appear in the Spring Festival Gala; and Chen Yu is the candidate selected by the Spring Festival Gala director Yuan Dewang, and is an important part of his "Youth Plan" for this year's Spring Festival Gala.

This status is of course very different.

However, this does not mean that there is no risk of being screened; a few days ago, Zhou Jilun was said by the review team that he could not speak clearly and almost won.

Finally, Yuan Dewang came up with a way to vote online.

At present, more than 100 million netizens have supported it. Of course, CCTV must respect the polls.

"No wonder you can be so willful!"

Chen Kun shook his head, and Shen Hao on the side secretly gave Chen Yu a thumbs up: "Actually, Brother Yu's magic level is very high. The one he performed on the show before was very good. If he can go to the Spring Festival Gala, he should be able to do it! "

Chen Kun hasn't seen it, so he doesn't know much about Chen Yu's magic power.

He thought the other party was an amateur.

I am sure to go to the Spring Festival Gala, so I can do whatever I want.

Several people were chatting there, and soon it was 10 o'clock in the morning.

"I'm sorry for keeping you teachers waiting for so long!"

A man wearing CCTV work clothes suddenly came over with a loudspeaker, and Chen Kun and others stopped talking immediately.

"Well, some teachers may be here for the first time and don't know the process!"

"I'm going to say it here, it's very simple. Everyone finds the category of their own program, just knock on the door and go in and wait!"

"If you're into singing and dancing, look for someone who can sing and dance!"

"Look for language categories such as sketches and cross talk. There are only four rooms anyway. If you can't find the corresponding ones, it's the other ones!"

"Get a number plate first!"

There are four major categories of the Spring Festival Gala - song and dance, opera, language and others.

Chen Yu's magic belongs to other categories, as does martial arts and so on.

"Brother Yu, it went well!"

Chen Kun and Chen Yu exchanged fists, and Shen Hao next to him also waved: "Brother Kun and I are the same, we both sing and dance!"

"Well, come on, let's pass it together!"

Chen Yu stepped forward, gave Shen Hao a high-five, took a number card, and walked towards other rooms.

In the innermost room, Chen Yu finally saw a door with the two characters "Others" on it. There were also other program items written on it - magic, martial arts, acrobatics, special design...

Chen Yu knocked on the door and came in. What he saw was a very empty space, which was similar to the classroom where Beidian took the exam two years ago.

There is also a stage for performances.

It made Chen Yu dream back to the two-year art exam.

However, there are a lot of chairs at the end, and there is a judging seat under the stage. After a while, professional Spring Festival Gala reviewers will sit there and give scores to each program.

Many people were already waiting there.

Seeing Chen Yu coming in alone, many people sitting there raised their heads and turned around subconsciously.

Chen Yu could tell at a glance that several of them were magicians, as they seemed to have professional labels. But he was dressed as usual. After all, the magic he wanted to perform did not require costumes or props. .

Chen Yu chose a seat and sat down. His number plate was 9. Apparently there were 8 sets of programs in front of him.

"Hello, are you Chen Yu?"

"The one who acted in "The Golden Family"?"

A girl with makeup on her face came over, as if she had gathered a lot of courage. Chen Yu smiled and nodded: "Yes, hello!"

"Wow, it's really you!"

"I really like the character Liu Chunjiang you played in "Golden Dust"!"

The little girl looked very excited and pretended to ask for an autograph. Chen Yu didn't bring a pen, so he had to say: "The performance will be over soon, can I sign it for you again?"

"Okay, okay, are you also here to participate in the Spring Festival Gala review?"

The little girl sat down next to Chen Yu, and Chen Yu hummed: "Yes, what about you?"

"I'm an acrobat!"

"That's our acrobatic troupe over there..."

The little girl pointed to many people sitting in the front row. Many of them turned their heads, and several of them were also waving to Chen Yu.

"Great!"

"Actually, I just saw you outside. I saw you and Chen Kun chatting there, so I didn't dare to disturb you!"

"I thought you were performing a show with him!"

The little girl smiled, and Chen Yu waved his hand: "No, he and I are not together!" "I see, if you want to be with him, go to the singing and dancing place..."

This girl was very talkative, and Chen Yu couldn't refuse, so he had to reply politely; artists are like this sometimes, if you are a little impatient, you may be accused of being a big star.

"Actually, the main thing I want to ask is, did you go to the wrong room?"

"This is something else!"

The little girl thought for a while, then pointed to the room as a reminder. Chen Yu smiled slightly: "Thank you, you are right, this is the room I am in!"

"Huh? Sorry, sorry, I thought you wanted to sing or perform a skit!"

"Are you going to perform martial arts?"

"No, magic!"

"..."

At this time, not only the little girl, but also the people dressed as magicians in front of them all turned their heads.

Without him, magic...then there would be competition.

In fact, acrobatics is also included, because there are not many other types of programs in the Spring Festival Gala every year. If acrobatics is included, magic will be eliminated, so there is competition.

A handsome man wearing a black magic suit sitting in front of Chen Yu suddenly smiled at Chen Yu: "Hello, I saw a magic show you performed on Jiangnan TV. It was very exciting!"

"Call it Magic Hand Shencai?"

“Many people in the industry cracked it last year!”

The man raised his eyebrows and said, "I didn't expect you to be invited too!"

"Li Ning, from the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe!"

Li Ning stretched out his hand towards Chen Yu and introduced himself.

"Chen Yu, actor!"

"actor?"

Next to Li Ning, a woman also wearing magic costume whispered something.

"Yes, Chen Yu is very famous. I didn't expect that he is so powerful in magic!"

"Close-up magic is something most people can't do!"

Li Ning had obviously investigated Chen Yu, but Chen Yu didn't know him.

But judging from his appearance, he should be very famous, and those who can enter this room are definitely the best in every industry.

Chen Yu didn't need to have any doubts.

"Are you going to perform close-up magic this time?"

Li Ning asked politely, and Chen Yu smiled noncommittally: "Yes, what about you?"

"I can only do traditional magic!"

Li Ning seemed to be self-effacing, but there was still a strong sense of confidence between his brows.

"An amateur like me can't compete with a professional magician..."

"It doesn't exist. Your close-up magic is very popular in the magic circle. Don't you know?"

Li Ning looked at Chen Yu with some surprise. Chen Yu... really didn't know.

But if you think about it, it's almost the same. If you want to know the magic of Magic Hands, it was Liu Xuan's performance at the 09 Spring Festival Gala that became an instant hit.

Even if this life does not have the same level of communication as the Spring Festival Gala, it is definitely very popular in the circle.

There is no doubt about this.

Moreover, Liu Xuan's status in the magic world was quite high in later generations, basically the ceiling level among Chinese magicians.

"I really want to know how you come up with these magic tricks?"

Li Ning was really curious. He checked Chen Yu's information. He was a profession that had nothing to do with being a magician. His resume as an actor was much more glamorous than magic.

As Chen Yu said, he is definitely playing for fun.

But this kind of charade makes even their professional magicians stunned, which is a bit unbelievable.

Magic is definitely a skill that takes a lot of effort to produce achievements; and it doesn't mean that if you spend time, you will definitely get results. You must be creative, which is a feature that can make people shine.

This is the hardest part of magic.

For the same magicians, some can win awards, while others can only be in the circus. This is the difference between magicians.

"Actually...it's just luck!"

"I thought of it occasionally!"

Of course, Li Ning couldn't believe Chen Yu's words. He actually wanted to find out Chen Yu's background. If Chen Yu could still come up with a magic trick like "Magic Hand Spirit", then he would be under pressure.

Fortunately, the Spring Festival Gala does not like the programs that have already been performed.

As a "playing magician", Chen Yu should not have so many creative magic tricks; many magicians may only have one idea in their lifetime, and they can eat it until they die.

"Brother Ning, is this Chen Yu really as strong as you say?"

After returning to his position, Qu Lei, the female assistant next to Li Ning, asked. She is also a magician and is Li Ning's current partner.

Two people perform together as a team.

"Ok!"

Li Ning nodded solemnly: "He is very strong, you will know it after seeing the brilliance of his magic hand!"

"Doesn't that mean that he is our biggest opponent at the Spring Festival Gala?"

Qu Lei lowered her voice and spoke there.

"Yes!"

"However, don't worry, close-up magic is not that easy to perform, and a stage like the Spring Festival Gala requires stability!"

"It also depends on qualifications. The professional judges are all veteran mages in our magic world. What they recognize most is their identity!"

The underlying meaning of this statement is very clear. Chen Yu is not a professional magician and cannot pass the judges' eyes. But Li Ning is different. He is the only Chinese magician in Asia to win the "Golden Magic Wand Award", the Academy Award for Magic.

With such a heavy identity, the judges have to sell his face.

Li Ning approached Chen Yu because of his "magic hand power", which really shocked the industry. It can be said to be a very subversive new type of magic.

Sometimes, it is true that many young magicians have brains, quick thinking, and can invent very good ideas.

"Understood!"

"Then will he be tested in front of us, or behind us?"

"Front!"

Li Ning saw Chen Yu's number plate, which happened to be 9; theirs was 11.

"Then just watch his performance first!"

"Yes, that's what I mean; this time, he is doing close-up magic again. The most important thing about close-up magic is the details. The techniques are very demanding, so the error rate is also high!"

"The judges are here!"

Qu Lei whispered, and the originally noisy space suddenly became quite quiet.

The eight judges from the "other" group of the Spring Festival Gala walked in one after another.

These judges are male and female, old and young, and include leaders from CCTV and industry experts, such as masters of acrobatic song and dance troupes, magic masters, etc.

"let's start!"

"The first group, martial arts, right?"

Sitting in the middle was obviously a leader from CCTV. He looked at Chen Yu and others and spoke directly without any nonsense at all.

The atmosphere suddenly seemed a little tense.
