Chinese Entertainment's Shining Star

If you don't think ahead, you will have immediate worries. Idols are just young people. There are too many examples that can be found by searching online. Those artists who have passed the idol period and have not had time to transform, no matter how glorious they were when they were idols, when they got older and left the group, the speed of decline was really frightening.

"You see, when Yang Xiaoli mentioned her age just now, so many of us followed her and sighed, but there is more than one younger than her in her group. When I read the report before, these girls all signed up for acting and variety show training, as well as musicals and dramas." Nie Wei said, which also caused Teacher Huang to sigh.

"Children nowadays have a much longer-term vision than we did back then. When I was 20 years old, I was filming. I didn't think about the future at all, and I didn't think about what I could do after I stopped filming."

"When I was 20 years old, I had just graduated and was interning at Huaxia TV. I didn't know what I could do. I majored in Arabic in college." He Jiong couldn't help laughing as he spoke.

"Teacher He, why did you choose to learn Arabic at that time?" Han Dongjun asked curiously.

He knew that many people learned foreign languages, but they generally learned mainstream languages, such as English, German and French. At the very least, they would learn Korean, Japanese or Thai. If Teacher He hadn't mentioned Arabic, Han Dongjun wouldn't have known that universities still taught it.

"That's a long story." Teacher He suddenly showed a mysterious smile.

Everyone felt that there must be an unknown story behind this. Combined with the fact that Teacher He is still single and has no scandals, Yang Xiaoli has even imagined a great love story of separation and death and entrusting dreams in his mind.

"In fact, it still has something to do with the school. I was recommended to Beijing Foreign Studies University, you know." When Teacher He mentioned the recommendation, his expression couldn't help but be slightly proud.

After all, being able to get a recommendation quota for a prestigious school like Beijing Foreign Studies University is something to be proud of no matter how you look at it, just like a male host of Huaxia TV was recommended to Tsinghua University. Every time he mentioned it, he looked very indifferent, but he had to talk about it many times. In fact, this person is very proud of this matter in his heart.

Teacher He did not keep everyone waiting and quickly explained the reason.

"Generally, you need to take the college entrance examination to study for a major language at BFSU. I dare not say 100%, but more than 90% of them are recommended for minor languages. For major languages ​​like English and German, there may not be a single recommended student in a class."

"So this is not what I want to choose. In addition, in that year, there were only two recommended male students in our province who were recommended for BFSU, and they had to speak Arabic. I had no choice at all."

"So that's the case. Why didn't you take the college entrance examination directly?" Teacher Huang asked again.

"I actually did well in high school. I took the college entrance examination and was admitted to BFSU. I was not 100% sure, but I had a 70% to 80% chance of success." Teacher He replied with a proud expression, "But I was actually confused about what to study at that time. My family thought that it would be more certain to get a recommendation. After all, even those top students would make mistakes in the college entrance examination. It's better to be safe than sorry. Knowing that I could get a recommendation from BFSU, my family thought that I could study anything, so I went."

"But I don't regret this choice, and I do have some language talent. I stayed in school to teach. You know, at that time, the students who stayed in BFSU to teach were at least graduate students. Anyway, I was the only undergraduate student in our class who was retained by the school to teach." Teacher He said with a smile.

"Teacher He, you are really amazing." Yang Xiaoli praised with a thumbs up. She had just listened to Teacher He's experience and envied him from the bottom of her heart.

She was the kind of child who didn't study well. It wasn't that she didn't work hard, but she was just stupid, as the teacher often said. Others could listen to 70% or 80% of a class, but she could only listen to 30% or 40%. In addition, she was a little inferior at that time, and she was embarrassed to ask others. The teacher couldn't take care of her learning progress alone, which caused her grades to get worse and worse.

This is also one of the reasons why she dropped out of school to work. In Yang Xiaoli's view, studying would not give her a very good way out.

Listening to Yang Xiaoli's praise, Teacher He smiled, and suddenly thought of something, and asked curiously: "How old is the oldest person in your team?"

"It's YAYA, it seems to be 26 or 27, I can't remember clearly." Yang Xiaoli thought for a moment and answered hesitantly.

"In October 1991, now 27." Nie Wei added with certainty.

"You remember all this?" Huang Lei was surprised. Many people can't even remember the birthdays of their wives and parents, but Nie Wei actually knows the birth dates of the members of an idol girl group under his company. This has to be surprising.

If there was no intersection between the two, I'm afraid that everyone would suspect that Nie Wei had any special thoughts about this girl group member.

"I have a good memory, especially sensitive to numbers. When I was a child, I often represented the school in the Mathematical Olympiad and won the second prize in the country." Nie Wei said with a smile.

"Then why did you learn acting?" Huang Lei couldn't help but asked with a smile after listening to it. After all, a potential mathematician suddenly became interested in acting, which was a big span.

Of course, Nie Wei would not tell Huang Lei that he came from another time and space. After thinking about it, he answered: "Because I could never get the first place, I lost interest later."

"Why are you not interested if you can't get first place?" Yang Xiaoli was puzzled. She was always at the bottom of the class in mathematics. She had a feeling of looking up to those students who could participate in the Mathematical Olympiad and win awards. She couldn't understand why they were not interested in mathematics just because they couldn't get first place.

"Because the elites of this subject are always the top few. Without that talent, no matter how well you do, you can only get 100 points."

"Isn't 100 points good? Full marks."

"100 points is good, but that's all on the test paper. But which mathematician studies only what is on the test paper?" Facing Yang Xiaoli's questions one after another, Nie Wei answered patiently.

Yang Xiaoli nodded pretending to understand, but still didn't quite understand what Nie Wei meant.

However, Han Dongjun on the side seemed to have realized something. As for Teacher He and Teacher Huang Lei, they also understood what Nie Wei meant. Some things are really not for ordinary people. It seems that the threshold for entry is very low, but if you really want to reach the top, it is really not something that ordinary people can do.

In fact, all walks of life are similar. The only ones who can really make it to the end are always a small group of people.

"Let's go, how about we go to the place where "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" was filmed before?" Nie Wei stood up and suggested, and everyone naturally agreed happily.

The program "Longing for Life" also has no script, or only an outline. The program team will arrange some projects for the artists in the program, but how to do it specifically depends on the artists' own performance.

The previous "Chinese Restaurant" was actually imitating the model of "Longing for Life" to a large extent.

But unfortunately, their team does not have an experienced host like He Jiong. This is like there is no navigator on the sea. No matter how big the ship is, it may capsize.

For example, in the first episode today, the program team simply arranged a task of picking peach blossoms, brewing peach blossom wine and making peach blossom cakes, so it is normal for everyone to agree with Nie Wei's proposal to revisit the old place. It's nothing more than walking a little further to pick peach blossoms.

After a while, everyone, including Nie Wei and Shu Chang, walked out of Taoyuan House with a small basket.

No one took the bus, firstly because the road there was difficult to drive, and secondly, it would be a waste to take the bus with such beautiful scenery and good weather. On such a day, we should take a walk, enjoy the scenery, and cultivate our sentiments.

The group strolled for about ten minutes and arrived at the place Nie Wei said.

"It's here, it's here." Yang Xiaoli saw a row of peach trees in front of him, and the memories of the past also emerged in his mind, and he immediately shouted excitedly.

Looking at the lively Yang Xiaoli, the other people couldn't help laughing, especially Teacher Huang and Teacher He. Once they got older, they especially missed and appreciated the happy things of youth.

"Come on, Brother Xiaoyao, Ling'er is waiting for you to come back every day, and has prepared a gift for you." Yang Xiaoli didn't know how he ran to a small hill, looking at Nie Wei below, and suddenly remembered a classic line in his mind, and shouted to Nie Wei like crazy.

Everyone was stunned. Nie Wei was the first to react. He couldn't help laughing. Then his face suddenly became confused, just like in the TV series. He said in confusion: "What gift?"

"Wow wow wow wow wow." After Nie Wei's response, Yang Xiaoli was so excited that she jumped up happily like a rocket taking off. He Jiong was so scared that he stretched out his hands forward, fearing that Yang Xiaoli would fall down. Although the mound was not high and there was soft soil underneath, there were no hard stones or the like, but if someone accidentally fell down, it would definitely hurt.

"Dongjun, I heard that Tangren is going to shoot the fifth version of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy". Are you the male lead?" Nie Wei cooperated with Yang Xiaoli, and regardless of the girl's excitement and crazy over there, he turned to ask Han Dongjun who was laughing non-stop.

Nie Wei's sudden question stunned Han Dongjun, who was watching Yang Xiaoli go crazy and laughing. He really didn't expect Nie Wei to take the initiative to talk to him, and even knew that he was going to star in the fifth film of The Legend of Sword and Fairy. Although this was not a secret, he never thought that a new actor like him would get Nie Wei's attention.

"Yes, senior, do you have any advice?" Han Dongjun replied quickly after he came to his senses.

"Don't be nervous, I just thought of asking, but you have to work hard." Nie Wei said with a smile.

"I will definitely work hard." Han Dongjun promised loudly.

Needless to say, Nie Wei also attached great importance to this opportunity. The Legend of Sword and Fairy can be said to be Tangren's golden signboard series of TV series. The first part was starred by Nie Wei, and the second part was given to his senior brother Hu. The two brought The Legend of Sword and Fairy to a very high level, with both popularity and reputation.

In fact, the original actor of this TV series was another young actor who was highly praised by the company. Although he was also a newcomer favored by Cai Yinong, he was not qualified to take such a heavy responsibility. But who knew that the young actor suddenly proposed to terminate the contract, and the pie fell on his head.

"Senior, I am actually under a lot of pressure to play in the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" series." Han Dongjun didn't know what was wrong with him, and suddenly he wanted to tell the senior in front of him something from his heart.

"With my and Brother Hu's examples, are you afraid that your performance is not exciting enough and will be questioned by the audience?" Nie Wei asked, Han Dongjun hesitated for a moment and nodded.

This is actually the biggest problem facing TV series and even movies.

Few excellent actors will take the role of the protagonist of a mature series of movies, even if they know that they will have a high chance of gaining good popularity if they take this role, but for the sake of their own reputation, they will hesitate when faced with such an opportunity.

This involves a preconceived concept.

Just like the old gentleman's martial arts drama, the most popular novels have almost double-digit adaptations, and various versions emerge in an endless stream. Every time it is remade, both the TV series itself and the actors who play the protagonists in the drama will be compared with the previous work by the audience.

And often at this time, most new dramas will be questioned.

It is because of the preconceived relationship, but if you ask if the new drama is really not as good as the old version? The actors have different opinions, but in terms of production, Nie Wei thinks that the new drama will far surpass the old version of the TV series.

On the one hand, it is limited by the age. What kind of camera and special effects were used in the past, and what kind of camera and special effects are used now? How many times has the technology in the film and television industry been updated and replaced? The generation gap is like a chasm.

Moreover, in terms of production costs, the production costs of TV series today are much higher than those of the old martial arts dramas shot in Hong Kong. The difference in production costs will be clearly reflected in the drama, such as the actors' clothing, food, housing and transportation, the number and quality of group performances, and many more.

As for the plot, it is all based on the original novel, and it is not much different.

It seems that the new version has surpassed the old version in all aspects, but in fact, the online praise is still more inclined to the old version. This is the first impression, which is what many people often say "feelings".

Just like first love is always the most beautiful in many people's minds, many viewers even question that some of the old version's plots do not respect the original work. They are not based on the original work at all, but are directly based on the old version of the TV series. Little do they know that some-segments are actually greatly adapted from the old version, and the new version respects the original work.

"Don't worry. Actually, when "Chinese Paladin 1" was broadcast, I was also questioned by many viewers. This is inevitable. After all, a TV series is a TV series. It is impossible to fully present all the content of the game. It must also have its own fresh content and development path. It is impossible to completely copy the game plot. For many game fans, this may be an infringement of the sacred game itself in their minds, but there is no way. This is how TV adaptations are." Nie Wei patted Han Dongjun on the shoulder and comforted him.

Thanks to Fantasy Paradise for the generous reward.
